The Black Wing on the left blocked the Nexus system's bombardment head-on, while the Black Wing on the right crushed the lightning output from the Third Herrscher.

"--almost."

The monster turned around.

Without any emotion, in the most monotonous tone, he addressed the Third Herrscher, who was already utterly astonished.

That's what they said.

"It's time to stop this, isn't it?"

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—! !!! !!! !

Black wings shot up.

Empowered by an invisible force, the terrifying black wings expanded countless times in an instant, and even the lightning of the Third Herrscher was drawn into it.

The black wings that were supposed to be on his back suddenly moved to the front of his palm for some reason.

The monster amplified some invisible power, and with a single strike, it directly unleashed the full force of the Third Herrscher's attack.

A massive bombing raid engulfed the world.

"Well--!!!"

Himeko, who was standing on the deck, quickly shielded herself with her hands. Even the aftershocks alone caused the entire Hyperion to retreat dozens of meters.

can be seen.

The monster's figure had vanished from its spot and could not be detected at all. All that remained at the front of the deck were two girls enveloped by the Herrscher's own power.

So, what about those black wings?

—At dozens of times the speed of sound, the power of the Third Herrscher's full-force attack was completely blasted away. Because the speed was too fast, it was even completely plasmaized. Isn't that what it is?

Chapter 255 The Destiny Organization

This world is surrounded by collapse.

It existed centuries before Christ... no, it's very likely even earlier.

It probably existed as far back as the age of dinosaurs.

This calamity, which has existed in the world for such a long time, has since caused immense damage and threat to human civilization.

Since there is a threat, there will naturally be something to counter it.

And so it is.

"How's it going?"

In the seemingly empty room, several communication images suspended in mid-air were activated.

"The Third Honkai Impact really did happen, right?"

"As predicted, the third collapse in the Far East has fully begun."

"...What's the situation at the Far East branch?"

"Did they capture any concrete footage of the Third Honkai? Let's not even talk about photos of the Third Herrscher, they should at least have a photo of them patrolling from the sky, right?"

"This... the Third Herrscher in the Far East seems to possess abilities related to electromagnetic fields, affecting the cameras of the fleet there, and even the monitoring equipment located in the high altitude is malfunctioning..."

"Ha, those guys there really did a great job."

Since the Honkai exists, there must be organizations that oppose it.

Schicksal can be considered the world's first organization to fight against the Honkai.

Amidst this, countless high-ranking officials were discussing the Third Honkai Impact 3rd incident that had just erupted.

"It's rare for a Honkai to break out like this, yet there isn't even a single picture of a Herrscher? Interesting. Those guys from the Far East branch are really something."

"No...that's a Herrscher. No matter what, they are beings that we humans can't easily contend with. Facing a monster like that would even require the firepower of the entire Far East branch."

"I remember the Far East branch didn't even have an S-class Valkyrie, right? This won't do. Relying on a very powerful fleet and weapons to deal with the Herrscher is certainly not a problem, but that would only be enough to put up a fight."

"To truly defeat the Herrscher, I still need the power of an S-rank Valkyrie, just like fourteen years ago..."

"Silence! Miss Theresa, the commander of the Far East branch, is an outstanding talent personally appointed by Lord Otto. Are you doubting her abilities?!"

“Of course not. Since it is Bishop Otto’s arrangement, we are naturally willing to follow it.”

"Even so, isn't Miss Theresa's policy a bit too slow? We should at least know what became of the Third Herrscher..."

pat.

At that very moment, something appeared directly in front of the big screen.

It is an image.

"Report... This is the only footage that has been preserved from the Hyperion at the Far East Division so far, and it's about the Third Honkai!"

"what?"

"Immediately restore the resolution to the highest level!"

In just a moment, the previously blurry image returned to normal.

Everyone witnessed what happened next.

Before the massive Hyperion warship, a humanoid creature launched a beam of purple lightning, condensed into a single point, into a beam cannon.

"So that's a Herrscher..."

"Just like fourteen years ago, it must be the Third Herrscher!"

"But even after the restoration, the image is still too blurry, and the Third Herrscher's face is not visible at all!"

Just a second after everyone finished speaking, the image changed.

There is no doubt that the Third Herrscher is fighting against the Hyperion's ace.

However, suddenly.

—Pure black objects filled the entire screen.

"Wha, what?!"

"What is that?!"

Everyone in the venue who belonged to the upper echelons of the Destiny was shocked.

The reason is simply that the scene in the video was too shocking.

The monster with black wings fluttering behind it casually used its two pairs of wings to block the full-force attack of the Third Herrscher and the Hyperion's ace.

He was so adept at it.

Like the Third Herrscher, it was impossible to see what the monster's face looked like, let alone distinguish whether it was human or something else.

All that is known is that those enormous black wings, like the wings of a demon, shook the hearts of everyone.

Click—at one moment, even the camera was completely destroyed.

That's the end of the video.

"..."

Everyone in the room fell silent; it was a chaotic scene filled with shock and disbelief.

The third Honkai should have been caused by the Third Herrscher.

But what exactly was that?

What exactly is that demon-like figure with black wings shooting out from its back?

Why could that monster so easily withstand the full-force attacks of the Third Herrscher and the Hyperion? If this is indeed true, then what is the identity of that monster?

"Was it another Herrscher who broke in?"

"—Huh? Oh, Bishop Otto?"

"I'm asking you, is that black thing another Herrscher?"

A very calm voice echoed throughout the venue.

Upon hearing this sound, the person in charge of broadcasting the situation began to stutter.

"Regarding this—according to the Far East branch, the energy source of that thing is not the energy of the Herrscher at all, no—it should be said that it is not even Honkai energy."

"What did you say?!"

"This is impossible! Honkai energy is the most terrifying energy source in the world, let alone the level of a Herrscher. If it's not a Herrscher, who else could suppress other Herrschers so easily?!"

"No... In the end, even if they are both Herrschers, they can't possibly crush other Herrschers so easily, right?"

"If that guy isn't a Herrscher, then... what exactly is he?!"

Fear gradually rose in people's hearts.

The reason why humans are able to contend with the Herrschers is because people are aware of the Herrschers' terrifying nature. Humans have had experience fighting against the Herrschers before, which is why they can sit here and discuss this in peace.

But what about now?

The sudden appearance of a monster that could be easily suppressed even by a Herrscher is such a shocking piece of news that it could shake the entire world.

"Everyone, don't panic."

As the most powerful figure in the entire Destiny Organization, the man continued speaking in a calm voice.

"For us, the most crucial thing is still the matter of the Third Herrscher."

“But, but Bishop Otto—”

"There's no need to worry about that being with black wings. We don't know its identity, and we have no way of knowing it. It's very likely some kind of new life form... But now is not the time to worry about such things."

"For us, Schicksal, the priority is to analyze the power of the Herrscher and eliminate the Herrscher. This is our biggest task. Judging from the images, although that creature is more powerful than the Herrscher, it does not seem to have any obvious intention to cause harm to us humans. So it does not pose such a great threat for the time being."

"Only after thoroughly analyzing the situation of the Herrschers can we completely seal away their harm. Therefore, in any case, the greatest threat is still the Third Herrscher."

"We must act quickly to capture the Third Herrscher."

"Yes."

"Ming, I understand..."

Although what just happened was enough to shock everyone, even the whole world.

But for them, Bishop Otto's words were the highest command.

No one dared to disobey.

No longer caring about the still-astonished high-ranking officials in front of him, the man who was the Archbishop of Destiny himself sat in his seat.

A black monster unlike the Herrscher.

Its power even far surpasses that of the Herrscher.

"…interesting."

He gently folded his hands in front of him, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips.

"In that case, we might be able to make use of it."

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Even Accelerator himself was unaware of what had happened.

He used the immense power of the Black Wings to instantly suppress the man in front of him, who was called the Herrscher, before the white radiance completely engulfed him.

He is now in a world where he cannot discern directions at all.

It appears to be colorful, but upon closer inspection, it is actually black and white. In this state, the general physical laws representing front, back, left, and right are indistinguishable, and even the conceptual sense of direction is lost.

If this continues, he may very well be trapped here for the rest of his life.

Although there was no air, he was still able to breathe here and did not feel hungry at all. He had been in this state for about an hour.

however.

"...Is that it?"

Accelerator has captured something.

In this vast and boundless space, something is always in flux.

In fact, it is always in flow in daily life, but people generally cannot perceive its actual meaning.
