"Life is nothing more than a walking shadow, a clumsy actor gesturing on a stage—appearing briefly, then quietly disappearing without a trace."

"With both feet deeply embedded in the blood, either we continue wading forward, or turning back is equally tedious."

Otto looked down, lost in thought, at Karen in his arms, and whispered, "I want her to live."

Chapter 96 Himeko Murata

The path to salvation is narrow, not even wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

Once beliefs clash, there is no room for compromise.

Fate gives the world countless choices; no one has a second option.

It may seem like there are choices, but in reality, the outcome is already predetermined. Once the outcome is observed, the process cannot be changed.

"The Last Lesson".

A broken, divine sword, a fragmented body, and an endless imaginary space.

There is no end, no return date.

Is Kiana going to die? It will be tough after she wakes up.

Haha, truly fulfilling his vow: to fight until the very last moment of his life.

It was worth it to save Kiana at the last minute.

I'm so envious. Every one of those children is exceptionally gifted and carries the mission of the stars. They probably don't even realize the light they radiate.

Raiden Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder, was formerly the young lady of Me Company; Bronya, the genius brains, and Kiana, whom everyone worries about the most.

Everyone possesses talents and strengths that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve in their entire lives.

If I were injected with the God-Slaying Spear at the end, I would have no problem surviving, but being unable to continue fighting seems worse than dying.

To others, it seems selfless, right? After all, a teacher giving up his life for his students is a story that will surely be praised by many.

No, only I know that I was truly selfish, placing all my expectations and responsibilities on the student, forcing her to grow up, and making her realize the cruelty of reality and the truth of the world.

The road ahead is long, rugged, and full of obstacles that must be overcome.

It's actually easier when someone dies.

just kidding.

Is this a final burst of energy before death? I can't believe I'm thinking so much, such strange and unusual things.

I'm a little sleepy now, but I'm probably really going to die next time.

Get some sleep. Goodnight, me.

Himeko Murata's consciousness eventually faded away. The Godslayer Armor loaded with the Flame Herald Gem allowed her body to absorb massive amounts of Honkai energy in a short period of time, making her already riddled body impossible to survive.

Both their physical and mental limits have long been reached; ordinary people have no chance of survival in the imaginary space, and the overwhelming Honkai energy is difficult to defeat.

Himeko closed her eyes, having completed her mission, passing on the will of the Flame.

She believed that Kiana, a girl capable of creating miracles, could fulfill her naive vow: to fight for all that is good in the world and to turn a doomed tragedy into what she hoped for.

She received the phrase from Ragnar, Ragnar from Leanna, and Leanna from the Archbishop of Destiny.

What a powerful and inspiring oath! What would Otto Apocalypse, the Archbishop of Destiny, think of it?

After a long time, all the lights outside had been turned off, and the neon lights of Tianqiong City were dazzling and bright.

In the stillness, she opened her eyes, her orange-gold pupils becoming even purer, devoid of any other color.

Only the most magnificent can be described as golden.

Good news: You've time-traveled again!

"And the bad news?"

You have traveled to the Honkai world, and you will face the fact that Honkai is no joke! The Herrscher of the End, just as you remember, has the destruction of civilization as her sole logic of action.

"Ah."

Su Xin's reaction seemed somewhat indifferent. She rubbed her forehead, feeling a slight headache, as if she had forgotten something.

He vaguely remembered what happened in the collapsed parallel world after the end of the previous civilization.

Well, it's already a parallel world, and there's no way we can go back.

Su Xin stretched out her hand, looking thoughtfully at the two torn gloves, "An adult woman's hand?"

Su Xin seemed unsurprised, carefully examining the abilities she had acquired in the previous parallel world—

Sword Heart Above the Void: Far surpassing the Sword Heart of the Void Realm, even the Sword God of the Void experiences a qualitative leap.

Honkai Energy Adaptability Enhancement: Better than nothing.

Control gear?

The thing... I can't quite remember it, but it seems to be comparable to the Herrscher core, continuously drawing Honkai energy from the imaginary space to sustain combat. That's pretty good.

It doesn't have a body, but its body is riddled with problems. It's like a basket, full of holes.

Su Xin lamented that this experience of relying on her body was worse than ever before.

There's good news: all of your entity's capabilities are retained.

"And the bad news?"

You have no physical form.

"The answer is obvious." Su Xin moved her fingers. Good, at least she can move. At most, she will need some time to repair her body.

You can be intimate with your dream Valkyrie anytime.

"I don't find the question of déjà vu to be new."

Su Xin clutched her chest, feeling a sense of oppression. She had only helped Kallen become stronger in the parallel world. Although Kallen ultimately proved her loyalty by dying by hanging, she had done her best and had not let her down.

Why do you find it difficult for me?

A parallel world, go away, why care so much?

Su Xin shook her head vigorously, trying to pull herself out of her chaotic thoughts.

"Imaginary space? Am I in there? No, I should be somewhere where I'm attached to someone? Am I falling?"

Su Xin immediately activated the Tai Xu Sword Heart to recover her body from the fall.

I originally wanted to judge who it was by looking at their full outfits.

It's definitely impossible for ordinary people; they simply have no way to enter the imaginary space.

There were obvious burn marks on his hands, and the armor and gloves were burned beyond recognition.

Just as Su Xin lowered her head to look at her outfit below, she discovered...

"Okay, I think I know who the person who possessed me is," Su Xin said helplessly, turning her head away guiltily.

Those proud peaks, the familiar black mole on her chest, and the fragmented armor—it was undoubtedly Himeko Murata.

Based on the timing, Kiana should be given the option to "be pushed into the imaginary space at a certain point in time".

"System, how long will it take to repair the main body?"

Su Xin was concerned about one thing: judging from the timeline, it shouldn't be long before the main body was repaired and could detach from the frail body to begin the formal execution.

Having completed his mission, he faced his destined end.

Two months at most, one month is enough. Well, I'm assuming your physical body is fully repaired now, your soul can slowly nourish this body, and once Himeko's damaged body is repaired, you can begin repairing your original body.

So it will take longer. Are you in a hurry?

"There's no rush. We've waited fifty thousand years, so a few months won't make a difference. The end should be around two years away. No, we can't completely deduce the collapse based on past life memories."

You're not too eager for quick success? You're acting a bit strange now.

""

After a brief silence, Su Xin gave an indirect answer: "Ending the collapse sooner is better for everyone."

"Teacher Himeko, are you awake?" Su Xin called out in her consciousness space, but received no answer.

Fortunately, the system offered guidance: Because she had overdrawn her willpower, she would have to sleep for a long time and might never wake up.

Everything comes at a price. A mere mortal defeating the Herrscher of the Void relies on more than just the improved God-Slaying Armor.

"She defeated the Herrscher of the Void? Are you kidding me? Don't you think the Honkai world is a joke?"

As an A-rank Valkyrie, Himeko Murata, despite relying on many external aids, managed to solo the Herrscher of the Void.

I know you have questions. If an A-rank Valkyrie goes into battle with a death wish, how can she quickly defeat the Herrscher in front of her?

In fact, this has led to a sharp rise in the level of science and technology in modern civilization.

In some respects, it is no less advanced than the level of previous civilizations. For example, you are currently equipped with the Flame Gem Blank Key, which has been improved.

As long as the user is compatible and willing to pay a sufficient price, they can unleash power equal to or even surpassing that of the previous civilization's Hemiko.

Are you kidding me?

Su Xin could hardly imagine what level of technology would be needed to further improve Mei and Vilvi's ability to create the Divine Key.

Even if the previous civilization was constrained by time constraints and did not undergo further adjustments, it would absolutely not be able to exploit the current civilization.

Otto? That might be more accurate than the original story.

In the original story, Otto didn't defy the heavens and elevate the level of Destiny's technology by several levels over five hundred years, did he?

It should be noted that the Blank Key could originally unleash the full power of the Herrscher of Flame, but that was based on 100% compatibility; as for exceeding it, that was pure fantasy.

I'm not kidding, you should be able to tell that the Godslayer Armor lives up to its name.

After listening to the system's words, Su Xin tried to activate the Blank Key. The Flame Gem, like sparks and haystacks, instantly spread like wildfire, filling every part of his body with enormous energy.

"Tsk! Madman!!" Su Xin cursed, forcibly using the Sword Heart of the Void to suppress the rampage of the Blank Key.

Because of the so-called improvement, the person who activated the Blank Key was used as a living sacrifice, Himeko Muryata.

Su Xin dared to guarantee that any warrior of normal skill level would have their life drained within a minute of activating the Blank Key.

It's no exaggeration to say that it completely uses the user's life as a catalyst to accelerate the release and explosion of energy.

The user is doomed.

"No wonder Himeko has injuries all over her body. The key is that these injuries won't heal unless she uses the Black Abyss White Flower to release the zero rated power."

Su Xin was really frustrated; this was the worst body he had ever worn in all these years.

It's not that their strength is that bad, but their vitality.

If the sword heart were not hanging by a thread above the void, the physical body would have long since perished.

"Hiss, I feel a little cold?"

Because you are too weak.

"Let's get out of here first. Himeko's consciousness is asleep, which saves me the trouble of explaining to her. I don't have ten years to wait."

"Taixu Sword God!!"

Su Xin casually unleashed a surging beam of energy, forcefully carving a passage through the imaginary space.

Back in reality, Su Xin first looked around, and after considering for a while, asked, "Although I know about Li Shenzhou, where exactly is it?"

Sky City, by the way, a Honkai Beast horde has appeared behind you.

Su Xin immediately turned around and activated her perception ability. Sure enough, there was a large group of Honkai Beasts behind the bustling high-rise buildings.

Su Xin looked up and saw the lights of the two-hundred-meter-tall building shining brightly. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful, showing no signs of impending danger.

"Is Kevin starting the operation? I watched the whole process at Mebius's place. It should just be a small experiment, covering the entire city with Honkai energy to find out how many people can awaken their Stigmata."

"If you're lucky enough, ha, you might awaken the End Saint Mark. Someone on Earth will definitely awaken the End Saint Mark, but nobody knows who that person is, and who will be forcibly stripped and transferred to their body after awakening."

"I didn't see any humanitarianism at all. If it's not to overcome the collapse, we should definitely abandon so-called sentimentality."

"It's alright. As long as I complete my mission, all tragedies will cease to exist. Let them try boldly."

Su Xin tossed the broken Divine Fall Sword aside, treating it as something dispensable to him.

His main fighting style now is melee combat, as the Sword God technique is putting too much strain on his body.

Su Xin slowly walked in the opposite direction of the Honkai Beast tide, because the Honkai energy covering Sky City would definitely cause Honkai Beasts and zombies to run rampant.
