【The countdown begins.】
【The screen shows the vast universe, with Earth, a planet bearing the scars of time, passing by.】
【The screen quickly switches to meteorites, shooting stars, tsunamis, typhoons, plagues, earthquakes, giant beasts…】
【Countless disasters flash by, finally condensing into two words.】
【Honkai】
In the Honkai world, Kiana paused, her hand holding a ramen fork. The sausage in her mouth fell into her ramen bowl.
“Damn… Shorty, our world made the list?!”
Bronya remained expressionless, but deep down she was incredibly shocked. “I wonder what impact being on this list will have on our world…”
In the Arknights world.
Amiya whispered in shock, “Isn’t Honkai a natural disaster… Could it be that all the suffering in this land is also Honkai?!”
In the Super Dimension Fortress Macross world.
Kallen started to ponder the uniqueness of Earth. Most of the entries on the list were battles and stories unfolding on Earth. Was Earth truly the center of the universe?
…
【The countdown screen begins to explain the meaning of Honkai for everyone in the Multiverse.】
【Honkai, a special natural disaster, aims to destroy civilization as its ultimate goal, manifested as various natural disasters.】
【And Honkai will nurture Apostles, known as Herrschers, who control the ultimate of the laws of physics.】
Tony Stark: “The ultimate of the laws of physics?! That’s impossible! It could destroy the world!”
Arthur Pendragon: “An enemy of civilization… If the description is true, each Herrscher would be enough for a full-power release of the Star Saber!”
Shinji Ikari: “Apostles… Does the Honkai world also have giant mechs to fight against Honkai Apostles?!”
Joachim Yang: “It does! How can a man’s romance not have them?!”
Asuka Langley Soryu: “Ugh… My head hurts. I feel so familiar with this Honkai world, like I’ve been there before… ”
Paimon: “Familiar? I feel familiar too… Rosaria!”
【The subtitles disappear, the screen switches.】
【A white-haired, bright and sunny teenage boy appears on the screen in a highly developed city school.】
【Through the intense collisions and exchanges on the basketball court, Kevin’s name is recognized by the Multiverse.】
【Kevin’s life is played out, briefly yet in detail.】
【Born into a privileged family, he was lively and playful from a young age.】
【He was always the king of the boys and the prince charming among the girls.】
【He was destined to be crowned the school hunk once he enrolled.】
【Warm and cheerful, Kevin was willing to give girls who liked him a chance, and he also put his heart into pursuing girls who were interested in him.】
【Before high school, Kevin had already dated numerous girlfriends.】
“I’m on the list? I’m the savior? I can chase after Mei?!”
In the Honkai world, Kevin dropped his ramen bowl on the floor, echoing with the three questions of the apocalypse.
Yuan Hua, Kevin’s front desk mate with green and black dyed hair, turned his head in shock. “Damn! Kevin?!”
Sekai: “A life like this… Kevin won’t be stabbed with a kitchen knife, will he?!”
Momonosuke: “So… So envious of such a life!”
Shinji Matou: “Huh? Didn’t I also have such a life? A winner in life, just like that! Hahaha!”
Shirogane Miyuki: “He’s practically a dating master! How did he confess?”
Lao Da: “Kevin is a good prospect for basketball. Interested in playing in the NBA?”
Raikage: “Who asked you?”
【The screen changes, Kevin finishes his basketball game and sees a girl named Mei sitting on a chair reading.】
【Kevin’s heart feels like it’s been struck by a star god from some distant corner of the universe, millions of years in the future.】
【He’s in love! True love!】
【He fell in love at first sight with that purple-haired girl!】
【After that day, Kevin even neglected his best friend Su and started madly pursuing Mei.】
Kiana Kaslana: “I’m going to go! Yae! What kind of frivolous playboy dares to covet my Yae!”
Raiden Shogun: “Sister? No… They are just similar leaves…”
Gemstone Merchant: “Hahaha! Don’t be anxious, little girl. There are countless world lines in each world!”
Kiana Kaslana: “Ugh! I get it! Could it be that Kevin is me from another world line?”
Kiana Kaslana: “Wait a minute! Why do I feel like I’ve played baseball with Kevin?”
Xingqiu: “You’re right, but rules are meant to be broken!”
【Mei is a bookworm, her father is a famous physicist internationally. Her lifelong dream is to become a scientist.】
【Therefore, Mei is deeply immersed in her studies, refuses to socialize, and ignores Kevin’s passionate pursuit.】
【After discovering that his pursuit was futile, Kevin began to pester Mei like an elementary school kid, trying to attract her attention and make her laugh with all sorts of silly antics.】
【Under Kevin’s intense offensive, Mei gradually opened her heart and accepted Kevin.】
【Kevin’s wish came true, he became Mei’s boyfriend.】
Hikari: “Good, become a scientist! Though scientists are weak and powerless, being able to contribute to civilization is very great!”
Grey Wolf King: “Being a scientist is indeed a good path. You can research anything you want.”
Shirogane Miyuki: “I learned! As expected of Kevin senpai! His pick-up lines are so numerous!”
Kiana Kaslana: “Kevin, mimicry baby!”
【The screen changes, Kevin and Mei are sitting on a bench after school, chatting.】
【This is the first time Mei has opened up to Kevin.】
【She looks up at the starry sky, “I remember it clearly. One night, I stared at the stars and suddenly had a feeling.】
【“It felt like I wasn’t looking at the starry sky, but the starry sky was looking at me.”】
【“I felt how small humanity is in the vast expanse of the cosmos, and I suddenly had a thought – the stars are all enemies.”】
【Mei sighs to Kevin about the insignificance of Earth in the universe,感叹着 how insignificant everything on Earth is compared to the scale of the universe.】
Ye Wenjie: “Just a high school kid, yet they’ve already grasped the Dark Forest Law. They have a promising future…”
Emperor: “Good, the stars are all enemies, only humanity is supreme!”
Ge Xiaolun: “What she said is true… Earth has become a battlefield for gods, the stars beyond Earth… are enemies.”
Bruce Wayne: “Perhaps she has a broader future, because her perspective and understanding of the world far surpass that of most people.”
【Kevin listens intently, then bursts into laughter.】
【Mei is confused and a little annoyed, “What are you laughing at?”】
【Kevin quickly explains, “No, no! It’s just, I find it very new. Whenever I go on dates with other girls, the topic of the stars always turns into constellations or something like that.】
【“This is the first time I’ve met a girl who can talk so seriously about the universe and life!”】
【Mei looks at Kevin speechlessly, like she’s looking at an idiot.】
【Kevin quickly adds, “… Um, I mean, you’re different.”】
Raphael: “I thought he was a dating master, but he’s a straight-up iron straight man.”
Shirogane Miyuki: “So you have to go straight for it… As expected! Sincerity is the ultimate weapon!”
Koro-sensei: “You think Kevin is on the fifth level, but in reality, he and Mei are on the same level.”
Mami Tomoe: “He’s such a fool, isn’t he afraid of breaking up?”
【Mei doesn’t continue the topic, but instead asks back, “I said so much, you didn’t seem to understand any of it, why could you still listen?”】
【“Because your serious thoughts are too attractive! I want to keep listening!” Kevin shoots straight.】
【Mei is amused by Kevin’s childishness and naivety.】
【Kevin is overjoyed, “You finally smiled! You look so beautiful when you smile!”】
【Mei then asks back, “What about you? Kevin, what are your plans for the future?”】
【“Absolutely none!” Kevin nonchalantly stretches, “I don’t have such grand ideals. Changing the world or something, that’s too far off for me.】
【“I just want to live well in the present, cherish every friend, enjoy the now, live happily and carefree!”】
【“After all, I’m still a high schooler! It’s better to live innocently and happily, that’s more like me!”】
Qingque: “That’s right! Enjoy the present, slacking off is the right way to live!】
Tomoko Kuroki: “High school students should live happily, right? Let the adults take care of the responsibilities.”
Shinji Ikari: “With great power comes great responsibility. Kevin can’t escape, even if he’s a high schooler.”
Roman: “It’s a pity Kevin’s on the list… As a savior, he’ll face the disaster known as Honkai.”
Yuu Otosaka: “I hope Kevin and Mei get married after defeating Honkai, don’t let the ending become like that of Tohsaka Sakura…”
Magical Girl Madoka: “That’s a flag you can’t set!”
【Mei: “You’re really a frivolous person.”】
