“BOOM!” A deafening roar echoed through the depths of the universe, as if the entire world was resonating with this shocking and unprecedented duel. The thunderous sound pierced through the boundaries of physics, striking deep into the core of every heart. As the blinding light gradually faded, the dust from the battle settled, leaving the universe in a brief moment of tranquility.
The eyes of countless spectators were fixed upon the screen, their heartbeats quickening with every fluctuation in the scene. They eagerly awaited the final outcome of this clash between power and will. In the face of the “Finality Herrscher’s” power that seemed capable of devouring everything, Raiden Mei’s struggle and resistance appeared both minute and magnificent.
However, as the battle scene came into focus, everyone was surprised to find that while Raiden Mei had reached her limits, she had not suffered a fatal blow.
The “Finality Herrscher” did not press her advantage but, instead, enveloped the incapacitated Raiden Mei with an indescribable tenderness, offering her shelter within the boundless expanse of the cosmos.
In that instant, the relationship between the two Herrschers transcended simple notions of enemy and friend, becoming complex and profound.
Finality Kiana’s right hand gently touched Raiden Mei’s face, not merely an action but a dialogue between two souls.
Finality Herrscher: “The steps of Finality cannot be halted…
Death is the beginning of rebirth. Human souls shall return to their primal essence, and the world will return to peace…
As fellow messengers, let us complete this final ceremony together.”
…
In the video, Raiden Mei ultimately could not escape the fate of defeat, succumbing to the “Finality Herrscher’s” overwhelming power. This scene brought sorrow and regret to the faces of viewers across the screen, despite them having already anticipated such an ending.
The barrage of comments from “Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana” carried a tinge of bitterness: “As expected, it’s still impossible… Even the Mei in that world can’t awaken the ‘Finality’ inside me…”
“Honkai Impact 3rd Bronya”’s comment was brief and direct: “The power gap is too vast.”
“Honkai Impact 3rd Raiden Mei” felt it deeply: “The will of Finality exerts too powerful a control over Kiana, one that’s impossible to resist.”
“Honkai Impact 3rd Theresa”’s worry was evident: “What fate awaits the Honkai Impact 2nd world now…?”
“Honkai Impact 3rd Otto”’s words revealed a mixture of helplessness and acceptance: “The outcome, in truth, we all had a feeling about it in our hearts, we just didn’t want to face it.”
The “Black Tower,” from her unique perspective, sneered: “Human emotions are so frail. If I were you, I would have chosen cybernetic ascension long ago, transcending all of this.”
“Stargazer Kiana” remained silent for a moment, eventually choosing not to speak, but her silence conveyed her complex emotions more powerfully than any words could.
“Stargazer Welt” sighed: “This is truly a world filled with tragedy.”
“Dr. MEI,” from a more macroscopic viewpoint, mused: “Human civilization being wiped out by ‘Finality,’ such history may have already repeated itself countless times.”
“Aether” let out a soft sigh, expressing her sympathy and sorrow for all this.
“Mei” displayed a sliver of optimism: “But humanity will not be completely obliterated. In the future, there will always be hope.”
“March 7th”’s message was filled with compassion: “So tragic, everyone on that planet.”
And “Honkai Impact 3rd Otto”’s sudden question sparked new contemplation: “After Earth’s civilization is wiped out, what will become of the ‘Finality Herrscher’ who has lost everything?”
…
Amidst the shock and sorrow of countless viewers, their gazes returned to the video.
Within the screen, Raiden Mei, though trapped in a desperate situation and deprived of any ability to move… was still concerned for Kiana’s well-being.
“Kiana…”
Raiden Mei’s faint call, like a flickering candle in the wind, reached Finality Kiana as if from another world, unable to touch the emotional waves deep within her heart. Finality Kiana’s mind was occupied solely by the mission bestowed upon her by the “Honkai Will” - to utterly destroy human civilization. This obsession was like an unyielding iron law, shackling her thoughts and actions.
Raiden Mei’s tears and grief were a profound remembrance of lost friendships, an endless sorrow for the loss of those closest to her. However, these complex emotions were mere distant echoes to Finality Kiana, unable to evoke resonance within her, let alone comprehension of their depth and weight.
The Finality Herrscher before her might retain Kiana’s appearance and voice, but the light within her soul, the warm memories shared with Raiden Mei through storms and struggles, supporting each other through adversity, had all vanished like the wind.
She was Kiana, but she was no longer the friend in Raiden Mei’s heart, a friend with blood, flesh, love, and righteousness.
“Why are you crying…
Why… is your heart filled with such sorrow…? Mei… I’m sorry…”
As the embodiment of “Finality,” Finality Kiana’s existence seemed destined to fulfill an inescapable mission - the annihilation of human civilization.
She couldn’t understand why Raiden Mei was steeped in such deep sorrow. After all, as Herrschers, they should share the same fate and responsibility, bearing the burden of destroying the world together.
She could only tear her gaze away from Raiden Mei and fix it on the distant, azure planet, the cradle of human civilization, the target she was about to obliterate.
But at this moment… she couldn’t say why… a single tear rolled down the Finality Herrscher’s cheek.
“At least in the end, let us return together.
Return to everyone…
Goodbye.”
As the Finality Herrscher’s cold and resolute words fell, an unprecedented surge of power erupted from within her, like the chaotic energy of the universe’s creation, instantly engulfing the azure planet.
In that instant…
Beneath the force capable of shaking stars, the planet’s surface seemed consumed by flames, the blue of life rapidly fading, replaced by a hellish black and red. The planet transformed into a burning “Mars,” all life and hope utterly extinguished in that moment.
This attack by “Finality Kiana” was not simply a release of power but a complete negation of life forms. With a single stroke, she reduced all life on the entire planet to nothingness, showcasing a heart-stopping destructive power.
Compared to pulverizing the planet into dust, the Finality Herrscher seemed to favor returning the planet’s ecology to its most primitive state.
This choice might hide a deeper strategic layout and consideration by the “Honkai Will,” secrets that could make one tremble at the mere thought of them…
