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

"Pshaw! In his eyes, we high-end combatants are nothing but pawns."

Otto Siegfried wished he could burn it to ashes with a celestial fire, but unfortunately Kevin had already taken the Celestial Judgment. Although the weapon he had now was good, it was still no match for the Key of God.

"I don't know what Otto was thinking. All the troops are ready to attack the enemy's headquarters directly. I don't believe they would abandon their own headquarters!"

"Because it's meaningless, my descendants."

At this moment, Kevin suddenly spoke up. It was as if he had just arrived, yet it also seemed as if he had been there for a long time. Over the past few years, he had given this junior special training, and he found that he was much more complex and unpredictable than he had imagined.

"I have nothing to say to you. Perhaps I should call you Ancestor or Lord of the World Serpent."

However, Kevin ignored Siegfried's disrespect and continued talking to himself.

"These human warriors are only fighting bravely to hold off Winter's forces. They are just a means for the Bishop of Destiny to wear down the Ice Queen."

"That's why I hate people like you who don't value human life. What do you think human life is?"

Siegfried was thoroughly disgusted with Otto and Kevin, who didn't value human life. He knew that war would kill people, but those who died should not be forgotten.

"This is how the world is. To achieve your goals, you must be as cold-hearted as iron. Although I don't know how the Kaslana family's oath changed from defeating the Honkai at any cost to protecting humanity at any cost, from the perspective of the younger generation, having this awareness and will is enough."

Kevin's expression remained completely calm, as if he were an outsider evaluating Siegfried, showing no concern for his words.

"All we have left to do is defeat the Ice Queen on this final battlefield. I'll take care of her."

Siegfried merely glanced at Kevin and said nothing more, and the room fell silent.

"Siegfried, do you want to know how I've managed to maintain this cold demeanor?"

After thinking for a moment, Kevin suddenly spoke up and asked Siegfried a question that made his expression change.

What do you want to say?

"Come with me."

Kevin turned and left the base. Siegfried hesitated for a moment before following him. Kevin led Siegfried to an open area and stopped.

Chapter 246 The Ice Queen's Conspiracy

"On the burnt-out earth, I made a promise to her and to everything I protected that no matter the cost, humanity would surely defeat the Honkai. But in reality, I was just a puppet for her life's dream after she left."

"I never thought I was kind. No matter how nicely I put it, the final result was always that I would continue to carry out other actions with my own interests at the core."

"I have trampled on countless ideals, and countless lives have been lost because of me."

"And finally I want to tell my descendants that when people are fixated on their goals, when they make vows, if they do not have the ability to act or even fulfill them, then it is all just empty talk."

"Please remember what you said today, and don't become someone like me who treats human lives as just numbers!"

"There only needs to be one person like me."

As he spoke, Kevin looked at Siegfried with a casual gaze, as if a teacher were reprimanding a wayward student.

Siegfried: "Shouldn't we treat human lives as just numbers?"

Otto: "It seems the Lord of the World Serpent speaks quite philosophically."

Alicia (Memory): "Kevin, it seems you've had a tough time these past few years since Mei left?"

Su (Memory): "Kevin, if you have no one to accompany you, you can come to Paradise. Although I can't help you much, I can at least serve you a pot of good tea."

Meanwhile, the other Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser, each with their own memories in the Land of Past Lives, comforted Kevin in their own way.

Kevin: "I'm fine. I'll go to Paradise."

Seeing himself on the live stream was like seeing another version of himself; recalling his past, he felt utterly defeated, Kevin…

Zhongli: "From the perspective of universal reason, these words are very philosophical."

Zhong Li could tell from Kevin's eyes that he must be a man with a story, and that the story probably wasn't very good.

After speaking with Siegfried, Kevin left immediately, as he still needed to prepare to deal with his opponent.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the battle between Destiny, the World Serpent Alliance, and the Winter Kingdom continues.

On the left and right sides, the army and Valkyrie armored forces confronted countless Titans, with both sides engaging in various high-tech battles. Warships and aircraft flew in the sky, demonstrating the scale of the war.

Most of the Valkyries and soldiers had been captured and taken away by the Titans, but the battlefield was still littered with blood and battle scars. The corpses of human soldiers were no longer recognizable on the soil, steel chariots were broken and damaged, and expensive warships fell from the sky.

"It seems that the Ice Queen has completely mastered the power of the Herrscher of Reason!"

In the command post set up outside Poland, Otto, who had personally come from the headquarters of Destiny, was looking at the endless stream of Titan troops projected on the screen in front of him, and his face began to darken.

It's important to know that a Titan costs a lot of money. If this were the old Anti-Entropy, even if they sold off all their old Anti-Entropy, they probably wouldn't be able to build this many Titans. There's only one possibility: the opponent is using the power of the Herrscher of Reason to build them. Basically, they can mass-produce them as long as the Honkai energy isn't used up.

"Amber, convey my instructions. Send the word down: first, use large-scale, unrestricted missile weapons for a collective strike, and then have Durandal and the others move out to directly break through Winter's defenses."

Both Siegfried and Theresa requested to go into battle immediately more than once, but he refused them all, thinking it was to preserve his strength.

Otto originally planned to force out the Fatui's executives to weaken them first, but it seems that if he doesn't send out high-end combat power soon, he might not be able to hold out.

Minutes later, a barrage of explosions soon unfolded on the battlefield. Massive rocket attacks covered the Titans and warships, but the rocket launch sites were quickly destroyed by a sudden cruise missile attack, clearly a counterattack from the enemy.

However, Otto had already achieved his goal. The massive rocket attack threw the Winter's army into chaos for a short time and consumed a large amount of Honkai energy from the enemy Titans. The Titans were now forced to erect large-area imaginary shields for defense. The rocket bombardment over those few minutes greatly depleted Winter's power.

Next, Destiny and World Serpent deployed their full high-end combat power. With the help of S-class Valkyrie Durandal, Theresa, and other powerful warriors, Titan was repeatedly defeated, and the situation suddenly reversed.

Titans alone cannot defeat these high-end combat forces. The battlefield suddenly became one-sided, and the Fools' troops continued to retreat. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, at this rate, they will soon be able to drive Winter out of Poland.

"Why hasn't the Ice Queen sent her executors onto the field yet?"

In the command center, looking at the favorable situation projected on the screen in front of him, Otto showed no joy; instead, he frowned.

After all, they had already deployed their high-end combat forces, while the other side's executive officer had not yet been deployed. Based on this alone, they had already lost a significant portion of the battle.

"What do you think, Lord of the World Serpent?"

Otto looked at Kevin beside him and asked, wondering if the other had noticed anything.

"I did not sense the appearance of the Ice Queen."

Kevin is the leader of an organization at the same level as Otto. Although the two organizations have cooperated, it doesn't mean he has to listen to Otto. So naturally, he doesn't need to take action. Kevin's role is mainly to stabilize the rear. He absolutely cannot take action before the Ice Queen makes her move, since he is currently the only one who can stop the Ice Queen.

What exactly does the Ice Queen want to do?

……

"Your Majesty, should we intervene?"

In a base near the Polish battlefield, several executives gathered, as the Ice Queen had also arrived at the base on this side of the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, we will be driven out of Poland. Now, let me defend you against the enemy!"

Tadalia, who was standing next to him, immediately asked to fight. Ever since he was easily defeated by Kiana last time, he had been training hard and his strength had increased significantly since the last time he met Kiana and the others.

The other executives also requested to go into battle, as they knew how important this war was to Her Majesty the Queen.

"...Doctor, is the anti-Honkai stance ready?"

"Your Majesty, the anti-Honkai stance is ready. It will be deployed along the route that Schicksal and the World Serpent Alliance will inevitably take. Although the effect is somewhat weakened due to the large deployment area, it is still enough to deplete most of the Honkai energy in their bodies. Then we can annihilate them."

The Doctor also entered the base and reported to the Ice Queen that he had sent his slices to set up an anti-Honkai field, and they were just waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap.

Chapter 247 The Impact of the Anti-Collapse Strategy

Fire and explosions frequently erupted in this area, and the battlefield environment visually presented the difference between hell and heaven in the real world.

"Rita, I have a bad feeling."

After Durandal, riding Krishna and holding the Black Abyss White Flower, destroyed a Titan, she spoke to Rita beside her.

"Lady Durandal, could this be your imagination?"

"No, the Fools are running in one direction. This is very likely a trap. Quickly inform the bishop that we need to retreat."

Durandal ultimately decided to inform Otto first. Otto also sensed something was wrong and accepted Durandal's suggestion to retreat.

"You've noticed something's wrong? But unfortunately, it's too late!"

The doctor, observing from afar, also noticed that the enemy's offensive had slowed down and they were retreating. He had originally planned to activate the anti-Honkai field after the enemy advanced a bit more, but since they had discovered this, he decided to begin now.

The next moment, the devices in every corner of this area started to activate, and the invisible force field formed a huge force field area through a chain reaction.

Whether it was the army or the battle-hardened Valkyrie, they all fell to the ground at this moment.

"Damn it, what's going on? All the Honkai energy within me has vanished!"

Kiana, who appeared on the battlefield, collapsed to the ground. Her strength vanished, and her body began to shrink. At the same time, the Flame Blaze Greatsword she had been wielding with ease just moments before suddenly became incredibly heavy.

Furthermore, the Honkai energy within the Herrscher core inside her body has become extremely difficult to mobilize, making it difficult for Kiana to even stand up.

"This is an anti-Honkai stance; it's used to seal the Honkai power within us."

Jiuxiao, who was lying next to Kiana, also spoke at this moment.

"What is the anti-Honkai stance? How did you know that, Jiuxiao?"

"Of course, this was found in the Salvation Record of this Savior. I am the all-knowing and all-powerful Lord Nine Heavens!"

"Then, Omniscient and omnipotent Lord Jiuxiao, what should we do now? Is there any way to get rid of this anti-Honkai stance?"

"Well... Lord Jiuxiao was out of sorts just now, and his omniscient and omnipotent power has failed, so I can't do anything about it right now." Jiuxiao could only awkwardly but still somewhat childishly reply when Mei asked her, "However, the anti-Honkai stance written in Lord Jiuxiao's Book of Salvation only temporarily seals the Honkai power in our bodies. In fact, the sealed power is still within us, so Lord Jiuxiao speculates that as long as it exceeds the upper limit that the anti-Honkai stance can withstand, it can be broken, and then it can be unblocked."

"Then the question is, how do we reach the upper limit of the anti-collapse stance and make it explode?"

Keep in mind that this position has almost completely suppressed all top-tier combat power, and it hasn't even reached its limit yet. Who knows how much Honkai energy it will take to reach the limit?

"Well... Lord Jiuxiao's omniscience and omnipotence are temporarily out of control, there's nothing we can do."

...]

Otto: "This is similar to the oath of Judah, but it is also different."

Judah's oath is a power that binds the Herrscher, and it is a more specific way of neutralizing or neutralizing Honkai energy within the barrier, while the anti-Honkai stance directly suppresses Honkai energy, rendering it unusable.

If we're talking about which is stronger, then the power of the Herrscher of Binding is definitely more complete and thorough. However, the Anti-Honkai Field also has its advantages, namely that humans can create it. After all, there is only one core of the Herrscher of Binding, but the Anti-Honkai Field can be repeatedly manufactured. As long as humans can master this technology, they can easily kill the Herrscher as soon as it appears and before it becomes too strong.

Walter Yang: "It's a pity that this technology is being shown on this live stream, so we have no way of knowing how it's made. If we knew how it's made, we would have a much better chance of defeating the Honkai, and the number of casualties would be reduced significantly."

It's impossible for Welt Yang not to be envious of this anti-Honkai stance, since having this would give humanity a much better chance of dealing with the Honkai.

Velvi (Memory): "Tch, given enough time, I, the world's greatest magician, can create this. It's no big deal."

Vilvie was confident that she could manufacture such a thing, but in her opinion, it was meaningless. After all, there was a limit to how much of it could be manufactured, and even Kevin couldn't suppress it, let alone the End.
