As countless viewers eagerly awaited the so-called "Final Herrscher" comparison video...
On the pitch-black screen, a brand new title began to be etched in gilded letters.
【Honkai Impact 2 World · Final Herrscher】
【Ragnarok】
【The End of Everything】
As the words faded, the image gradually came into focus. A scene filled with familiarity and nostalgia slowly unfolded before everyone's eyes—a quiet corner within St. Freya Academy.
The camera zoomed in, revealing the characters on stage one by one: Kiana, Cocolia, Raiden Mei, Bronya, and Theresa. Each face was identical to their counterparts in the Honkai Impact 3 world... except for slight differences in their attire. Their appearances were virtually the same!
Of course, since this was the "Honkai Impact 2" world, it was only natural for their appearances to be identical.
This wasn't the key point.
.........
Because at this moment... this situation exuded an unusual air.
Within this circle tightly surrounded by " Schicksal" members, Cocolia, the sole representative of "Anti-Entropy"...
She appeared so isolated and helpless. Her presence was like a foreign entity, standing out even more in this tense atmosphere.
Even more surprising was that Cocolia's face didn't show any fear. Instead, it displayed anxiety and a near-manic determination.
.........
As the video footage played, the characters of the Honkai Impact 2 world appeared one after another, eliciting reactions from the viewers.
【Kiana】：Wow~~ Is that me from the Honkai Impact 2 world? It's exactly like me!
【Bronya】：What kind of nonsense is the amoeba spouting... Since it's you from the Honkai Impact 2 world, of course you'd look exactly like you.
【Raiden Mei】：That's true... but seeing it still feels unbelievable. Even across the boundaries of worlds, our resemblance is so high.
【March 7th】：Hmm... Cocolia also appeared, but she feels different from the Cocolia we met in Belobog and Bronya.
【Star Rail Welt】：That's right. Each world has its own unique rules and background, so naturally there will be differences.
【Otto】(with a touch of amusement): Looks like you've been "doing situps" in another new world again, Welt.
【Star Rail Welt】(unpleased): Enough, Otto!
【Dan Heng】(looking curiously at Welt): Uncle Yang, do you and Mr. Otto have some unpleasant past?
【Star Rail Welt】(pondering for a moment): We'll talk about these things another time.
【Mei】(with deep eyes): These nearly identical parallel worlds... perhaps they could reveal more secrets and intelligence hidden behind them.
【Theresa】(frowning): But isn't this making the people in that world into test subjects?
【Kevin】(with a firm voice): For greater success and a brighter future, these sacrifices are necessary.
【Otto】(a smile curling at the corner of his lips): I've seen your names in the "Void Archives". What a coincidence.
【Verv】(confidently): It seems my vision and expectations for the "Void Archives" have been perfectly realized in the future.
【Theresa】(completely clueless): Ah? What... what does that mean?
【Kiana】(interrupting everyone's discussion): Alright, let's just focus on the video. Maybe we can find some new clues.
.........
Back to the screen where the video is playing.
Cocolia's manic state was particularly striking.
However, this unhinged behavior didn't stir much in Theresa's heart. After all, the conflict between Anti-Entropy and Schicksal had been deep-rooted.
Furthermore... Theresa's attention wasn't focused there at the moment.
Instead, a different worry occupied her heart deeply—the potential interaction between Cocolia and Kiana.
Theresa knew very well about the secrets and truths that Cocolia possessed.
Once Kiana became aware, the consequences would be immeasurable.
Those secrets hidden in the darkness would undoubtedly be a heavy and cruel burden for Kiana, who was at the peak of her youth and with a pure heart.
Theresa didn't want to see Kiana's innocent smile replaced by pain and despair...
Thus, Theresa anxiously and worriedly asked Kiana that question.
"Kiana, did you meet the Second Herrscher?!!!"
As she asked the question...
Theresa displayed an expression that was a mix of fear and worry.
.......
And on Kiana's side... upon hearing Theresa's sudden question, a hint of confusion crossed Kiana's face. It seemed she didn't understand the abrupt question and Theresa's worried demeanor.
But since she had been asked, Kiana decided to respond with her usual candid attitude.
She said slowly, her tone somewhat flat, even tinged with a hint of indifference.
"Yeah~~ In a desolate space, there was a little girl who looked very lonely, waiting for her mom.
I promised her I would help her find her mom. Anyway, I have to find my nasty old dad."
When Kiana gave this answer.
Theresa's worry... ultimately became reality.........
