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

"What a joke! The Kaslana family never abandons its comrades!"

"Is that so? Then there's nothing to discuss!"

Although Otto wished he could just kill Siegfried, who was both troublesome and disobedient, Siegfried was still useful to his plan, so he could only swallow his anger and turn to prepare to give Walter Young a finishing shot.

"boom!"

"what?"

However, at that moment, a Honkai energy disintegration projectile flew towards him and accurately struck Otto on the head. The huge explosion generated a shockwave that sent the man flying far away, and Otto even dropped the Heavenly Judgment weapon from his hand.

"Looks like I'm not too late after all?"

Just as everyone was wondering who had fired the shot, a fancy motorcycle descended from the sky, and a girl wearing a safety helmet stepped off, carrying a sniper rifle that had just started smoking in her right hand. The newcomer was none other than Seele, who had just returned from out of town.

"Well done! That's exactly what we're going to do—hit Otto's head hard!" Seeing the parallel world scene on the screen, which resembled the scene from back then, Tesla was furious. Especially when Otto was stepping on Walter Young's body, trying to finish him off, if Einstein and Walter Young hadn't been there to stop her, she really would have punched Otto in the scene.

It's infuriating! Back then, Anti-Entropy fought tooth and nail against the Herrscher, and Welt Yang almost died. But in the end, Otto just let the Herrscher go. No one could stand for that.

Otto from this parallel world actually wanted to let the Herrscher go. No matter which world Otto is from, he's a bastard.

However, when Tesla saw Otto get headshot by Seele, he felt incredibly satisfied, just like Theresa drinking bitter melon juice while reading the Houmu comic.

"Dr. Tesla, you've finally calmed down. I almost had to stop you," Einstein said calmly, releasing Tesla's hand.

"Sorry, Chicken Hair, I was just a little angry when I saw Otto's expression earlier, but I'm much better now!" Tesla calmed down and sat down again. "But when we get back, we must research even stronger weapons and then blow Otto's head off!"

“Okay, okay.” Einstein shrugged.

"But I never expected that the clown back then was actually Otto!" Welt Yang said upon seeing the image above. At that time, he had tried to investigate the origins of the clown, but he couldn't find out. Later, he was summoned to the moon by the Herrscher of the Void and almost died in battle. Although he survived, he ended up becoming a history teacher at St. Freya Academy, so the matter was left unresolved.

Although Otto was suspected, there was no evidence to confirm it was him. However, judging from the above scene, it can be confirmed that Otto was the one who released the Herrscher of the Void.

"His Holiness the Bishop actually did such a thing!"

Durandal was somewhat incredulous when she saw Otto, the clown, launch a sneak attack from behind while everyone was fighting the Herrscher. This was quite different from what she knew about the Second Honkai Impact!

"Lord Durandal, you can say these things here, but don't say them again after you return to Heaven's Mandate!"

Rita reminded Durandal from the side. As an assassin under Otto, Rita was not as ignorant as Durandal. She had personally dealt with some of the dark things in Schicksal. She knew that their bishop was not a kind man or woman. If Otto heard what Durandal said, then Lord Durandal would be in big trouble.

"Why? His Holiness the Bishop shouldn't mind, right?"

"Well... how should I put it, Lady Durandal?"

Rita wiped away imaginary sweat from her face, knowing she could only explain it to Lord Durandal slowly and deliberately.

The video then shifted from Otto being shot in the head and falling to another scene, showing Fu Hua beating up Sirin.

"Herrscher of the Void, this is where you end it!"

Fu Hua delivered another powerful punch, knocking Sirin to the ground, and then finished her off with her equipment.

"You...you don't come any closer!"

When Xilin saw Fu Hua walking towards her, a look of despair appeared on her face.

"Feel sorry!"

With a single punch from Fu Hua, Sirin died!

Of course, this was impossible. By the will of Heaven (the author), the unfortunate pufferfish finally got to be rescued.

"Sorry, rescuing her is my mission, I can't let you touch her!"

"who!?"

However, Fu Hua was met with several pillars of ice, but she was not fooled by such a simple attack. With her Inch Heart Fist technique, all the ice pillars were shattered.

However, the other party took advantage of her breakup to rescue Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Seeing the Herrscher of the Void, whom she had finally defeated, being rescued like this, even Fu Hua, with her personality, was somewhat angry at this moment.

Even with her full strength temporarily restored by using Feather of Dust, Fu Hua still managed to catch up with the opponent, who was accompanied by Sirin.

"Inch Force - Chaotic Thunder!"

Under Fu Hua's fierce fist techniques, the opponent had no choice but to put down Xilin and directly fight Fu Hua.

"How is that possible!"

Fu Hua only realized after fighting her opponent that her opponent was no weaker than her, and was even slightly stronger. Although she no longer had the strength she once had because her sword heart was broken, she could still unleash her full power for a short time under the power of the Feather Dust.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anyone stronger than me during this period. Where did this person come from? Could it be a powerful being who appeared due to changes in time and space?

During the battle between the mysterious man and Fu Hua, Benares, the Judgment-class Honkai Beast summoned by the Herrscher of the Void Sirin, was freed from control due to Welt Yang's collapse. Through communication with Sirin, Benares rescued her.

Fu Hua could not stop Sirin, who was being rescued by Benares, and could only watch helplessly as they flew into the atmosphere. In the end, the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, was not able to stop her before she became stronger.

However, there's no point in saying all this now. The fact that the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, has become stronger on the moon is unchangeable. So what she needs to do now is to find out the true identity of the person in front of her. Otherwise, it would be disastrous if a powerful individual of this strength remained hidden in the shadows and launched a sneak attack when dealing with the Herrscher of the Void.

Chapter 18 Kevin in a Parallel World

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

After seeing that Sirin had left safely, the mysterious man reported to Otto via communicator. However, because Otto was in trouble, he was called over to provide support.

However, Fu Hua didn't want the mysterious man to leave just like that.

"Inch Force - Heaven-Splitting!"

While the mysterious man was distracted, Fu Hua used the sixth move of the Inch Heart Fist Technique, striking the mysterious man's face with the same clown mask as Otto's.

"How is this possible! You...you're actually Kevin!"

After Fu Hua shattered the Joker's mask, she discovered the mysterious man's true face, which turned out to be the face of her old comrade-in-arms, Kevin Kaslana!

This was unbelievable to her, after all, her old comrade-in-arms was a savior who fought against the Honkai, but now he had actually let the Herrscher go.

"Kevin, have you betrayed humanity and joined the Honkai?"

However, Kevin ignored Fu Hua's words and, taking advantage of her shock, struck her back, quickly creating distance and disappearing into the snowy plains.

"I, from a parallel universe, am actually helping a Herrscher?"

Even Kevin, who usually has an icy expression, couldn't maintain his composure at this moment, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Looks like you're not exactly a righteous person either! Didn't you want us to join your World Serpent before? Saying that only World Serpent could defeat the Honkai, how come you, the leader, are the first to become a traitor..."

Hei hope didn't forget to mock Kevin after seeing his appearance. After all, Kevin had been giving them attitude all along in the Sea of ​​Quanta. If he hadn't been outmatched, he would have turned his back on them long ago.

Upon hearing Hei hope's words, Kevin's aura became even colder than before.

"Alright, I won't say anything more about the other one!"

Seeing Kevin's state, Seele was clearly frightened and quickly stopped Black Seele from continuing.

"Humph!"

Hei hope knew she couldn't provoke Kevin too much, so she stopped mocking him.

Meanwhile, on the World Serpent's side...

"Grey Serpent, since the Lord has already betrayed humanity, should we continue with the World Serpent's Sacred Mark Project?" the Jackal asked the shocked Grey Serpent.

"Yes! Of course we want it! That's just the ruler of a parallel world. We listen to the ruler of our own world. Our ruler is firmly opposed to the Collapse and would never betray humanity!" Gray Serpent said resolutely, his tone extremely firm.

"Alright, whatever you say!" Seeing that Gray Snake had said that, Jackal stopped trying to persuade him, lest he anger Gray Snake and make a fool of himself.

As for Raven, she was just watching the show from the sidelines. She didn't care about fighting the Honkai. All she cared about was making enough money to go on vacation to her island. After all, how loyal could you expect a mercenary to stick with you all the way and fight the Honkai to the death?

However, subtitles soon appeared on the screen, introducing Kevin Kaslana.

Kevin Kaslana is the strongest weapon unintentionally created by Otto, the Archbishop of Schicksal in a parallel world, through the bloodline of the Kaslana family and through ancestral reversion. He was later modified by Schicksal from a young age and gained powerful abilities, including the power to control ice. However, because he was used as a weapon, he lacks emotions and is codenamed "K".

Later, Otto gave him the name Kevin Kaslana, hoping he would aspire to possess power comparable to or even surpassing that of the Kaslana ancestors of the previous civilization.

"Interesting. I really did create a remarkable person in this parallel world!"

Otto was somewhat surprised and impressed when he saw the introduction to Kevin Kaslana. He said that he had conducted countless experiments on the Kaslana bloodline, but none of the results were useful. The clones only had a high resistance to Honkai energy.

Through the Void Archives, Otto can be said to be the one in the current civilization who understands the previous civilization the most. He has absorbed almost all the knowledge of the previous civilization, and he also knows about the Thirteen Heroes of the previous civilization who chase fire. Naturally, he knows that the most powerful one among them is the ancestor of Kaslana, Kevin, who has the power to kill the Herrscher of the previous civilization several times in a direct confrontation.

Its strength is terrifying, which is why Otto was surprised that his parallel world self could create such a monster.

The video continues to play.

Having shaken off Fu Hua, Kevin headed straight for Otto. Meanwhile, on Otto's side, Seele was somewhat surprised to find that Otto hadn't been killed by her shot after firing a large-caliber Honkai energy fragmentation bullet that struck him squarely in the head.

"You didn't die even after being hit head-on? Looks like you really aren't human!"

Seele nodded as if she had confirmed something, and then fired several more bullets, a series of explosions completely covering the spot where the man landed.

After dealing with Otto, Seele turned to look at Siegfried and Welt Young, who were lying on the ground.

Are you two alright?

"Thank you so much, young lady, for saving my life. I, Siegfried, am deeply grateful!"

Siegfried picked up the Judgment of Heavenly Fire that had fallen to the ground, ran over from a distance, and immediately reached out to help Walter Young, who was kneeling on the ground, to his feet. After thanking Seele, he asked Walter Young with concern.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

“I’m fine. That clown shouldn’t be dead yet.” Walter Young thanked Siegfried for his kindness, stood up with Siegfried’s help, and asked Seele, “Although I’m a little sorry, I still want to ask your name and background, Miss. After all, ordinary people wouldn’t be here.”

Walter Young looked at Seele with a hint of apology in his eyes. After all, she had just saved him, and it would be a bit impolite of him to turn around and ask about her identity.

However, this was also because Seele's aura was too strong. Welt Yang, as a Herrscher, could feel that her aura was extremely powerful. This is also why Welt Yang asked her. After all, a strong person would not save you for no reason. There must be some request they want to make.

"Don't feel guilty. After all, asking this kind of question shows you're a competent leader. There's no such thing as someone who will help you for no reason." Seele wasn't angry. Anyone would be suspicious of a stranger who suddenly appears. "But this isn't the place to talk. We can discuss what we need to discuss later. You don't even have a place to receive guests, do you?"

Next, Walter Young and his group searched for Otto's whereabouts, but Otto, sensing the danger, secretly slipped away and quickly left the battlefield with Kevin's help.

Afterwards, on Siegfried's own initiative, the Anti-Entropy group also stayed inside the Tower of Babel, and Seele came along too. It's just unknown whether Otto would be furious if he found out.

Chapter Nineteen: Sirin's Final Judgment (Pre-Judgment)

Meanwhile, after Welt Young, Siegfried, Seele, and Fu Hua who had rushed over met up, they headed towards the Tower of Babel.

The scene shifted to another location, several kilometers away from where everyone was. A blond man, dressed in tattered clothes and wearing a tattered mask, was limping forward. This man was Otto, who had been shot in the head by Seele.

"Damn it, I'm always the one who schemes against others, but today I've been schemed against!"
