Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

Chapter Thirteen: The Multiple Uses of Judas

Whether this deviation is good or bad is unknown, and it may lead to an even greater crisis. Walter Young would naturally not do anything about something that could endanger all of humanity.

“If that’s the case, then let’s put everything else aside for now. The situation is more serious than I thought. Sirin, the Second Herrscher, a key figure in the Second Honkai Impact, has disappeared due to some unknown factor. Our task now is to find her. May I ask what methods your organization has?” Welt Yang asked Fu Hua and the others seriously.

"This... I'm afraid it's not possible..." Fu Hua said, looking a little embarrassed. After all, they only learned after they set off that Chaldea had been destroyed and could no longer provide them with resources. That's why they came here to ask Anti-Entropy for cooperation.

Of course, Fu Hua wouldn't say this. After all, in negotiations, the stronger party holds the dominant position, and Fu Hua naturally wouldn't expose that they were actually the weaker party. She could only tell Welt that they couldn't contact him for the time being because of time travel.

So everyone got stuck at the first step, unable to find anyone to proceed to the next step.

Einstein then asked Walter, "Lord of the Alliance, can you sense Sirin's location?"

Welt shook his head and said with a sigh, "No, although we are both Herrschers, she has already left the Tower of Babel, and I can no longer sense her."

Einstein didn't say much, but simply took out a test tube containing some residual Honkai energy.

"What is this?" Fu Hua asked Einstein after glancing at the test tube.

"This is a remnant of Honkai energy I collected from inside the Tower of Babylon. It should belong to the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin. It seems we need Schicksal's help to find her."

……

“Miss Theresa, please give us your Judas to use.”

"What do you need my Judas for?"

However, despite saying that, Theresa still lent the Oath of Judah to their arch-enemy, Einstein, who was against entropy.

Theresa asked with some confusion, not quite understanding why Einstein wanted her Judas to do.

Looking at Theresa's puzzled expression, Einstein explained, "Miss Theresa, in the ancient ruins we excavated, there is some information about the Oath of Judah!"

"The Oath of Judah and Mr. Siegfried's Judgment of the Gods are both weapons created by ancient civilizations—the Keys of God."

"Besides being used as a weapon, Judah had many other uses, but we don't know how many."

"However, there is a type of Judah that has a hunting mode, which injects the target's Honkai energy into Judah, and can be used to find the target."

"How come I've never heard of this function from my grandfather?"

After listening to Einstein's explanation, Theresa was a bit confused. Theresa really hadn't thought about the use of Judah. ​​To be precise, she had no idea what else this weapon could do besides binding people, hitting people, and using as a shield.

How come they know Judah better than she, his master? As the granddaughter of the Archbishop of Destiny, how come she doesn't even know how Judah is used? Am I a fake master of Judah?

"Hahaha! Auntie, you're so lame! You don't even know how to use your own weapon!"

The laughter naturally came from Theresa's devoted niece, Kiana.

"No...don't laugh! I'm your aunt, show some respect! Everyone has times when they don't know how to use a weapon. I...I need to learn too!"

Theresa's carefully maintained dignity in Kiana's eyes gradually crumbled as the video played, and Theresa felt as if the video was a player of her embarrassing past.

Since she couldn't do anything about this place, Theresa could only pray that her embarrassing past wouldn't be shown anymore.

"It's all Grandpa's fault. If he hadn't refused to tell me how to use Judas back then, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed. Now I have 'another' reason to ask for funds when I go back. By the way, why did I say 'another'?"

"But I should remember that Judah can be used in this way."

Thinking this, Theresa quietly took out a small notebook with the logo of Houmu printed on it from her pocket and began to write it down.

Einstein really didn't know what to say about this. He simply poured the Honkai energy residue he had collected onto the surface of the Oath of Judah through a reagent tube and taught Theresa how to use it.

With her eyes closed, Theresa, under Einstein's guidance, also felt the spiritual connection Judas had given her, silently repeating the word "tracking" in her mind, and Judas's style of painting also changed drastically at this moment.

With a flash of golden light, the once enormous cross became two sizes smaller than Theresa's hand.

After Judah pinpointed Sirin's location, the group immediately began their operation.

Under the wise leadership of Theresa, the group also began to track down Sirin.

Meanwhile, the battle between Seele and Sirin had long since ended.

"I never imagined I'd be teleported to such a far place!"

Looking around at this unfamiliar place, Seele muttered to herself.

Here's what happened: Sirin, who had completely transformed into the Herrscher of the Void, was indeed much stronger than before. Moreover, because she had been severely beaten by Seele before, Sirin's fighting style towards Seele was completely different from that of others. She didn't act like a pufferfish that had become arrogant as soon as she gained power.

Even using only armor, Seele struggled to defeat Sirin. However, the battle took place in the imaginary space, so after the imaginary space created by Sirin shattered, Sirin escaped using her spatial abilities, while Seele was teleported to another location.

"It seems we'll need some time to get back."

After locating Siberia using GPS, Seele conjured up a high-tech motorcycle and began her high-speed adventure.

The camera pans to this side.

Guided by Judah's golden chains, the group gradually found Sirin's location, who had regained her power. However, due to the large number of Honkai Beasts, most of them were scattered to deal with the Honkai Beasts, and only a few of them reached this place.

"These humans have arrived just in time!"

Sirin had sensed it as soon as Theresa and the others approached, but because she was too exhausted after the battle with Seele, she kept summoning Honkai Beasts to delay until now. Now, after several hours, she has recovered to her peak condition.

She refused to believe that every human was a freak like Seele, someone she could beat up. All she wanted now was to vent her anger and take out all the frustration she'd suffered at Seele's hands on these damned humans.

Chapter Fourteen: Sirin Has Learned to Be Smart

"Be careful!" Walter said, his face grave as he stared at the swirling snow ahead.

The next second, a huge, unknown Judgment-class Honkai Beast descended from the sky and charged straight at them. Welt Yang threw the Star of Eden into the air, and the Star of Eden above his head immediately released a large number of black arcs of electricity in all directions. Countless arcs of electricity intertwined to form a shield that completely enveloped everyone.

The Emperor Honkai Beast slammed into the surface of the Arc Shield with a deafening roar, and the impact unleashed a destructive aura that seemed capable of tearing everything apart, overturning the ground behind everyone.

Looking at the enormous creature before them, which resembled a small mountain, everyone understood that the battle against the Second Herrscher had officially begun.

At the same time, the screen began to display footage from various locations, all of which, without exception, had been transformed into battlefields.

A massive horde of Honkai beasts trampled the earth as they charged toward the world before them, as if anything that stood in their way would be torn to shreds.

The combat personnel from the Destiny Organization and a small group of mechs from Anti-Entropy who came to provide support have begun fighting the Honkai Beast horde, while Salome, Shub, and Patrick from the Snow Wolf Squad also went to provide support.

In the Babylon Laboratory region, facing an overwhelming horde of Honkai Beasts, massive war mechs were neatly arranged at the forefront of the battlefield, with both sides exchanging powerful beams of weaponry in a lively exchange.

However, these Honkai Beasts were just appetizers; the real main course was the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, standing before everyone.

As everyone watched the armor atop the massive Honkai Beast before them gradually dissipate, Sirin, with an air of haughty arrogance reminiscent of a queen surveying the mortal world, slowly emerged from the shadows.

He looked at everyone and gave a very dangerous smile.

With a gentle wave of her finger, numerous ripples appeared out of thin air on both sides of Sirin, from which dozens of Void Spears emerged and pointed at the crowd.

"It looks like this is going to be a fierce battle!"

Walter Yang looked at Sirin with suspicion. Although he had learned about Sirin's abilities in advance, knowing them was one thing, but figuring out how to fight them was another. Spatial abilities were undoubtedly a very troublesome one.

However, no matter how troublesome it is, Welt Yang must deal with Sirin here. Otherwise, if Sirin really gets four gems on the moon, reaches the fifth core, and then kills him to get the sixth core, as Fu Hua and the others said, it will cause a major crisis for humanity.

So even knowing that Sirin was also a victim, Walter had no other choice.

"Looks like it's just you few humans who'll have to die!"

When Sirin looked at the group and realized that Seele, that despicable and shameless black-haired demon, hadn't come, she felt a sense of relief for some reason.

After all, for this inflated pufferfish, she had only just debuted twice. In the lab, she was repeatedly humiliated by that guy using all sorts of tricks. On their second meeting, he completely dominated her. Being exposed twice as a pufferfish was devastating to her self-esteem.

Today, I, the Queen, will avenge my humiliation and crush these men under my feet, making them stepping stones to my ascension to the throne of this planet.

"Herrscher of the Void, can we have a proper talk?"

"Humans have nothing to say, you hypocritical adults all deserve to die!"

Sirin pointed at the two of them, and the floating Void Spears around them roared towards the group from all directions. Because of the power of the Herrscher of the Void, only Welt Yang, Theresa, Siegfried, and Fu Hua came here. As for Kiana and the others, Fu Hua sent them to clear out the Honkai Beasts to prevent Kiana from giving Sirin experience points.

(Note: At this point in the video, Kiana and the others have only been studying at St. Freya Academy for less than two years. Although their strength will increase, they cannot participate in such battles for safety reasons without unleashing their full potential. So, sorry to those who were looking forward to the main characters fighting Sirin together.)

Seeing Sirin's attack coming, Walter Yang immediately used the Star of Eden in his hand. A red polygonal force field was erected in front of everyone like a shield. The whistling Void Spear was completely depleted of its kinetic energy after hitting the target, and fell to the ground in a way that defied the laws of physics.

"How is this possible? Who are you?"

Sirin was surprised to find that her Void Spear had been blocked so easily, and her contempt for the others disappeared, replaced by a serious attitude.

After all, his own Spear of Subspace existed in imaginary spacetime and could not be defended by physical means, yet this human blocked it so easily.

Only Seele, whom she had just fought, could do this. Could these people also be one of the freaks among humans? At this moment, Sirin's heart was filled with vigilance and wariness.

After all, the current Sirin is not the Herrscher of the Void from the original story who had just become the Herrscher of the Void and was victorious all the way, only to be almost killed when she encountered Welt Yang, the Herrscher of Reason.

No matter how arrogant she became, she learned to be smarter after being beaten up so many times.

“My name is Welt Yang, and I am a Herrscher just like you, so your methods are useless against me. If possible, I would like to resolve this peacefully!”

When faced with Sirin's question, Welt Yang still answered her question. Although he already knew that Sirin would cause great harm to humanity in the future, he still hoped for a peaceful resolution. After all, Fu Hua and others said that the Second Honkai Impact had a major historical deviation, and it was possible that it was not for the worse but for the better. In that case, the casualties could be minimized.

"You're a Herrscher too?"

Sirin was momentarily stunned. She had already received a detailed explanation of what a Herrscher was from God, but didn't God say that he was the first Herrscher?

Wait... this feeling, is God trying to have a conversation with me?

"So that's how it is. God just told me that there was a traitor who betrayed 'God' before me, and you are that traitor's imposter. How dare a mere imposter call yourself a Herrscher in front of me, the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin? So prepare to die, you imposter!"

Upon learning Walter Yang's true identity, Sirin immediately felt a sense of superiority over the imposter, and the next second, several Void Spears attacked the group.

"It seems there's no way to negotiate."

Welt Yang understood from Sirin's expression that the next step was to eliminate the Herrscher of the Void before she could grow stronger.

Walter Yang's Eden Star blazed red, and extremely high energy began to be compressed around it. He was preparing to go all out, and the others also began to make their moves.

A war broke out!

"Stop him, my servant!"

Although Sirin has now started to transform into an inflated pufferfish again, she still sensed danger from Fu Hua during their fight. So, just in case, she had two Emperor-level Honkai temporarily block Siegfried.

These two Honkai Beasts were none other than the Child of Night and the Child of Dawn. Siegfried, only now realizing what was happening, exclaimed in shock as two Honkai Beasts suddenly appeared from the Sirin Imaginary Dimension: "How did two Honkai Beasts suddenly appear?! Wait, wait a minute!!"

But Siegfried forgot one thing: Honkai Beasts are not human and cannot understand human speech.

Thus, Siegfried was removed from the battlefield, allowing Sirin to focus on Welt Yang and Fu Hua. She completely ignored Theresa, believing her energy level and overall strength were inferior to the two before her; she feared the aftershocks of a fight with them would be enough to kill her.

Chapter Fifteen: The Herrscher of Reason vs. the Herrscher of the Void
