【Mei learned after the assassination attempt that their enemies were not only Honkai, but also enemies from within their own ranks.】
【She used the protection of Sakura’s sister as leverage to control Sakura, the blade, and turned her into her trump card and private army to deter troublemakers within the Fire Moth.】
E: “Even at a time when civilization’s very existence is at stake, you’re still thinking about infighting! Fuhahahaha! That’s why humans are so interesting!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen: “The upstairs is right. What’s infighting in a group? Remember this, Danzo, I am the Hokage!”
Gin: “A killer with weaknesses? Sakura, you’re a terrible assassin!”
Ara-Taki Itto: “Report! The Raiden Shogun effortlessly manipulates Yae Miko!”
【The Golden榜画面 jumps, and soon it’s the sixth Honkai eruption.】
【After a fierce battle, Kevin leads the team to defeat the Herrscher.】
【Just as the Herrscher is about to be executed, the Herrscher actually reveals humanity!】
【Faced with the Herrscher’s revealed humanity, Kevin wavered, hesitating for a moment.】
【But in this moment of hesitation, the Herrscher sheds its disguise and, before its death, unleashes its powers, killing millions of civilians in the city.】
Isshin Ashina: “Kevin, hesitation is defeat!”
Huang Gai: “That’s a reverse psychology tactic!”
Duanmu Yan: “Once a Herrscher, always a Herrscher! How can you possibly save them?!”
Gaguura: “Kevin is a newcomer, he’s not mature enough yet. But the price of millions of lives… it’s too cruel…”
Vilde: “@Cheng Xin, look closely, the consequences of a moment’s thought can be unimaginable. He is the savior on the榜, but you are not!”
Pre-civilization in the Honkai World.
Kevin’s eyes widen in shock. He never imagined that a little bit of kindness and compassion on his part would indirectly kill millions!
Even with Mei and Su’s comfort, Kevin couldn’t shake off the shadow of guilt. This planted a seed in Kevin’s heart, a seed of absolute certainty in the necessity of killing Herrschers.
【After the event, Kevin falls into a state of guilt and self-reproach, believing that the deaths of millions were his fault because of his hesitation.】
【Elysia doesn’t know how to comfort Kevin, so she can only open up to him and share the burden of guilt.】
【Kevin, lost in confusion, asks Elysia:】
【“Elysia, if it were you, would you choose the few or the many?”】
【Faced with Kevin’s question, Elysia thinks for a moment, then replies: “Probably my answer would be the same as yours.”】
【“Kevin, if one day in the future, all it takes is pulling the trigger on me to save the majority, how would you choose?”】
【Kevin does not answer.】
Kiritsugu Emiya: “If you can save the majority, sacrificing a small number is worth it.”
Kaisha: “From the perspective of justice, sacrificing the few to save the many is the wise choice.”
Conan: “But Elysia seems to be implying something. Why would she imagine Kevin pulling the trigger on her?!”
Kurome: “Could it be that Elysia is secretly a yandere, and her heart is different from her actions?”
Vi: “That would be terrifyingly manipulative!”
【The Golden榜画面 jumps to a year later.】
【Something happens that shocks the Fire Moth and greatly lowers morale.】
【The seventh Honkai eruption occurs. Himeko, the captain of the Fire Moth’s fifth squad, is corrupted and becomes the Herrscher of Flames!】
【Within a week of the Herrscher of Flames’ birth, the Australian continent is reduced to ashes! The entire continent is engulfed in a sea of fire!!!】
Sayaka Miki: “She was taken advantage of by Honkai! If I’m not mistaken, the birth of a Herrscher is definitely related to despair in their hearts!”
Luo Ji: “So Honkai is also an extraterrestrial product? But I have a feeling it’s not…”
Kirito: “Damn it! Teammates becoming enemies at any time is a huge morale killer!”
Charles: “Burning an entire continent!!! Even the current strongest mutants couldn’t do that!!!”
Yang Dong: “I said before that Herrschers are the ultimate embodiment of physical laws… so her power is to control molecular movement! But… why doesn’t she use it? Is it because she can’t?”
Susang: “Well, then I’m glad that Herrschers are illiterate like me!”
【To counter the Herrscher of Flames, who is the strongest yet, Mei proposes the Fusion Warrior Project.】
【The Fusion Warrior Project involves integrating Honkai Beast DNA into humans to create super soldiers with immense power.】
【But the Fusion Warrior Project is just Mei’s theory, a hypothesis, with a 0% success rate!】
【Even with the 0% data in front of Kevin, he doesn’t waver at all.】
【“I believe in Mei, more than I believe in those numbers.”】
The Lizard: “Humans fusing with animal DNA is incompatible, and even has powerful side effects, let alone with Honkai Beasts, products of Honkai!”
Fujimaru Ritsuka: “The power of belief is Kevin’s magic! In the eyes of a savior, it’s either certain death or certain victory!”
Winter Soldier: “I see a shadow of Steve in Kevin, but his eyes are on that girl called Mei.”
Varus: “This love transcends all things! Kevin is destined to live!”
Luna: “Kevin, do it for Mei, live with all your might!”
【Driven by his belief in living to see Mei and protect her, the impossible Fusion Warrior Project succeeds!】
【Kevin fuses with the ice-powered, emperor-class Honkai Beast, Pavor, gaining powerful physique and regeneration abilities, as well as Pavor’s ice powers!】
【Under Kevin’s leadership, humanity defeats the Herrscher of Flames and ends the seventh Honkai eruption!】
Chika Fujiwara: “Ohhhhhhhhhhh! Kevin survived! Is this the power of love?!”
Teng Yang Tianxia: “Holy shit!!! Ice——!!!”
Esdeath: “The power of ice? It’s definitely very effective against a Herrscher who can only play with fire.”
Tony Stark: “Kevin got lucky with this one, he should be thankful that the Herrscher is a physics illiterate.”
【However, Kevin’s heart is filled with pain. The yin and yang of the sixth Herrscher still haunts him, and he has once again slain a comrade who seemed to retain human consciousness.】
【And due to the side effects of the Fusion Warrior Project, Kevin’s body temperature remains at minus thirty degrees Celsius after becoming a Fusion Warrior. Anyone who touches him will be frostbitten.】
【For the rest of his life, he must endure loneliness, unable to embrace his loved one ever again.】
Takato Hiraga: “With a sword in hand, I cannot embrace you, without it, I cannot protect you.”
Varus: “It hurts so much～”
Obito Uchiha: “Pain is only temporary. If the price of protecting the one you love is only this, then it’s worth it!”
【Because of slaying his comrade, Kevin develops psychological problems. Whenever he closes his eyes, he sees Himeko, he sees his comrade leaving him.】
【Kevin becomes more and more like Mei, pushing himself to the limit.】
【After the seventh Honkai eruption, he begins preparing for the eighth Honkai’s arrival.】
【At the same time, after this Honkai eruption, Mei designs the Divine Key Project, and uses the Herrscher core of the Herrscher of Flames to create the first weapon capable of wielding the Herrscher’s power.】
【A pair of black, white, and red guns appear on the Golden榜画面, and then the guns combine and extend into a large red sword!】
【Divine Key·Key of Destruction·Heavenly Fire Saint Judgement!】
Ryze: “The past has become his nightmare today, this wound can only be healed by time.”
Shinobu Kocho: “Every move he makes is shifting towards Mei, why? Are you afraid of losing her?”
Qilin: “Let’s not talk about the sad stuff first. I love this gun! I love it so much!!!”
Kyousuke: “It’s like the Flamesword… why do I keep wanting to shout ‘Heavenly Fire Unleashed’?”
Bo-Lu-Lu: “I have a feeling, this is definitely a weapon that only a pure love warrior can unleash its full power!”
【Before the eighth Honkai eruption, because of Kevin’s example, humans quickly use lives to create eight Fusion Warriors.】
【The Golden榜画面 jumps, the eighth Honkai eruption arrives.】
【Millions fall into a sleep sickness, dying in their sleep.】
【Kevin requests that the Fusion Warrior, Aponia, place a shackle called “Precept” on him.】
【Under the Precept, Kevin ignores the Herrscher’s powers and easily kills the eighth Herrscher.】
【But after that, Kevin loses the ability to dream. He has no dreams anymore.】
Ryo Asuka: “Every time there are casualties, it’s in the millions… compared to them, we who are helped by Ultraman face only a child’s play!”
Daigo: “Zilla… dying in your sleep… I have PTSD.”
Madara Uchiha: “The world of dreams is the most beautiful world, but you, who have lost the right to dream… I, Madara Uchiha, declare you the most miserable!!!”
Gwen: “But Kevin isn’t affected! With the Precept, he’s like a tiger with wings!”
【The Golden榜画面 jumps to a year later, the ninth Honkai eruption arrives!】
【This Honkai eruption nearly breaks the backbone of human civilization!】
【The ninth Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Earth, creates a simulated black hole that devours the Mu Continent, where the crystallization of human civilization is gathered!】
【The entire human social order collapses, and basic technological levels regress!】
【With the sacrifice of the Stigma, humanity tragically defeats the Herrscher of the Earth.】
【After the ninth Honkai eruption, 85% of humanity’s land is destroyed.】
Hua Ye: “Holy shit! A black hole?! How did they control the power of a black hole so precisely?!”
E: “Fuhahahaha… Ha?↗! Black hole? How could mere Earthlings have the power of a black hole?!”
Luo Ji: “If Mei and Kevin, as well as some high-level personnel, were all on the Mu Continent… then human civilization would truly be wiped out!”
Zero: “Destroy 85% of the land! How can humans continue to live and reproduce?! Unforgivable Honkai!”
Garp: “85% of the land destroyed, is this the start of the Age of Exploration? Haha, just kidding.”
Countless Earth civilizations across the Multiverse look in fear at the Herrscher of the Earth’s handiwork.
85% of the land that humans depend on for survival is destroyed, even if they survive the Honkai, humans can’t return to their golden age!
【The Golden榜画面 continues to move, the tenth Honkai eruption occurs.】
【Herrschers, who are weak individually but number in the thousands, appear in all corners of human society. Even in the upper echelons, a leader becomes a Herrscher.】
【The tenth Honkai is ultimately ended when Mei uses the Blank Key and the Key of Destruction to focus on killing them, using herself as bait.】
【But Mei’s body suffers severe strain from using the Blank Key, leaving her with irreparable injuries.】
Nick Fury: “Motherfucker! This Herrscher has brought more destruction to human society than those with pure power!”
Gin: “An organization full of moles is chillingly terrifying.”
Bruce Wayne: “If this thing infiltrates the upper echelons, even becoming a leader, the consequences would be unimaginable!”
Ye Wenjie: “Then a chain of suspicion will be born in humanity, and humans will be trapped in a state of eternal division.”
【After the tenth Honkai eruption, Kevin, filled with remorse that he was unable to protect his comrades and Mei, actively seeks out the infamous scientist, Mei.】
【In his conversation with Mei, Kevin mentions the liberation of the wildness in his DNA, a power known as “Artificial Collapse.”】
【Under Mei’s planning, the Chimera Project, which involves fusing multiple Honkai Beast DNAs into one, is born.】
Hikari: “I told you, Mebius has the talent to be a scientist!”
Aoko Aozaki: “Artificial Collapse? To recreate the power of a beast with a human body, that’s interesting.”
Amiya: “Huh? Chimera Project? Are you going to create Demon King Kevin?”
Shiva: “Brahma’s hundred beasts, imposed upon this body, is the right idea… become the one, and there will be no more trivial matters…”
【The Golden榜画面 changes again. This time, the edges of the画面 are surrounded by a bloody red.】
【The eleventh Honkai eruption arrives!】
【The eleventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Restriction, creates a barrier with a radius of 100 kilometers.】
【Within the barrier, all energy and Honkai energy is weakened, even suppressed to the point of becoming ineffective!】
Liang Bing: “Wdnmd, any energy becomes ineffective! What the fuck?!”
Rena: “Something this powerful, it doesn’t come to our universe and go on a rampage? You know, God-Making civilizations all rely on energy to drive their Super Genes!”
Abaddon: “No, this barrier’s shielding must have a limit. She can’t maintain this form for long.”
【The Fire Moth deploys almost all its forces to counter the Herrscher of Restriction, but the fight is like mowing down grass, all the Fusion Warriors who enter the barrier die!】
【Countless lives fill the space to give Kevin a chance. The unleashed Heavenly Fire Saint Judgement indiscriminately slaughters his comrades!】
【In the end, Kevin stands on red ice solidified from blood, looking at the Herrscher of Restriction in the area and the blood-stained land, his voice numb as he says:】
【“As I said, everyone, knowing the outcome, still went to the battlefield without hesitation. We have no choice…”】
【“We cannot dwell on the past, we must fight for the future.”】
Harry Potter: “This is a victory where both sides lose… we win, and yet we seem to have lost.”
Ascended Aatrox: “This is a necessary sacrifice, you must understand that if we didn’t kill him, more people would die, the sacrifice of these people is glorious!”
Shino Asada: “Dead… so many dead?!”
Yoriichi Tsugikuni: “If a god really exists, then tell me, is life truly worthless in the face of such an existence?!”
Fujimaru Ritsuka: “There’s no time to grieve, no time to be depressed, this is a war to reclaim the future from Honkai!”
【Aponia believes that Kevin needs to atone, Elysia believes that Kevin has become an extension of Mei’s will.】
【No one cheers for this win, a win at the cost of everything.】
【The eleventh Honkai ends. Only 13 Fusion Warriors remain, humans only have three cities left, and this Honkai is known as the Restriction Tragedy.】
【Human civilization is on the brink of extinction.】
Lex Luthor: “How could humanity perish? How could humanity perish? Humanity will never perish! Humanity is great!”
Kal’tsit: “There are still three cities left, there’s still hope for life, but it’s estimated that it will take another generation for new life to bloom.”
Luo Ji: “Even though locusts are repeatedly exterminated, they’ve never been completely eliminated. The same is true for humanity!”
【To unite and rally the remaining forces of humanity, Elysia proposes a group called the Fire Moth’s Thirteen Honored.】
【It is composed of 13 Fusion Warriors, including Kevin.】
Nyarlathotep: “I’m suddenly curious, those who survived the Restriction Tragedy must be the elite of the elite, right? What are they like?”
Jean Pierre Polnareff: “The Fire Moth’s Thirteen Honored sounds pretty cool! I wonder if we’ll see the splendor of these 13 people?”
Mirai Kuriyama: “They must each have their own strengths… just like Kevin, who only knows how to fight…”
【Just when the Multiverse audience is pondering who the 12 others who survived the Restriction Tragedy alongside Kevin are, the Golden榜 instantly transforms, and a list of the Fire Moth’s Honored slowly appears on the screen.】
【The biographies of those thirteen, along with their messages, appear one by one on the screen.】
【The Fire Moth’s Thirteen Honored】
【Ⅰ Savior—Kevin】
