In the video, within the tunnel leading to the “New Realm”...
The “Origin Law”, Raiden Mei, quietly descended.
She approached silently, her steps light, flanking Kiana.
Mei extended her right hand, gently and firmly placing it on Kiana’s right shoulder, conveying silent support and encouragement.
“Are you ready, Kiana?”
Raiden Mei asked softly, a simple question that didn’t need an answer.
Or rather… at this point, it was a question that didn’t need an answer.
…
Before the echo of her words had fully faded, another figure quietly joined them.
The “Truth Law”, Bronya, with the same unwavering stance, gently held Kiana’s left shoulder, standing side-by-side with Raiden Mei, together upholding this belief and strength.
“Next, is truly the end.”
The two inseparable companions, Raiden Mei and Bronya, stood resolutely beside Kiana, vowing to accompany her on this momentous final journey.
However, this wasn’t a solitary journey. As the story progressed, more and more comrades gathered behind Kiana in the form of shadows. Their hands pushed gently, not only providing her with the strength to move forward, but also conveying endless courage and faith. This invisible support converged into an unstoppable torrent, propelling Kiana onward.
On this journey of the soul, Kiana’s thoughts drifted back to past fragments. She recalled Aunt Kiana’s selfless sacrifice, her resolute dedication to protection; she remembered the time she transformed into the “Flame-Chaser Law”, her unwavering belief in burning herself to illuminate the darkness; and most unforgettable was the gentle and resolute figure of the “Human Law, Aelita”, who, with life as her brush, wrote a magnificent chapter about humanity and love, sowing the seeds of hope for this era.
It was the interwoven tapestry of these memories and emotions that ignited the most powerful force within Kiana’s heart. A colossal figure made of pure energy slowly materialized behind her, a symbol not only of strength, but also the collective will and hope of all her comrades. This power gently lifted Kiana, guiding her towards the “End of the World Cocoon”.
Finally, when Kiana stood before everyone in the form of the “End of the World Law”, the entire world was shaken. Her long silver ponytail flowed in the wind, her purple and white elegant dress like the brightest star in the night sky, the blade and pistol in her hands not only weapons of battle, but also symbols of protection and hope. Her pupils glimmered with the purple starlight representing the “End”, but instead of intimidation, they exuded warmth and affinity.
At this moment, people finally understood that the “End of the World Cocoon” chose Kiana precisely because she carried not only power, but also the crystallization of love, courage, and sacrifice.
…
Beyond the screen, in the headquarters of the previous civilization’s “Flame-Chaser”, the Honkai Herrschers' gazes focused on Kiana, who had transformed into the “End of the World Law”. Their expressions didn’t reveal a hint of fear or shock, but rather, more surprise and delight.
Padofelis, the little cat who was always full of energy, broke the silence first: “Wow! So this is the legendary “End of the World Law”? It’s totally different from what I imagined! Compared to the oppressive guy from the Honkai Impact 2 world, she’s like… um, how to say it, more like a messenger from heaven, gentle and kind.”
Eden softly agreed from the side: “Indeed, she doesn’t possess that suffocating aura, but instead radiates an indescribable sacred air, a warm force that embraces everything and rejects nothing, making people unconsciously want to get closer.”
Dr. MEI, the symbol of wisdom, slowly spoke: “This, perhaps, is the unique miracle of this civilization. Each era has its own unique colors, and this time, humanity chose this “End of the World Law”. Her arrival itself foreshadows a different future.”
Kevin, the leader of the Flame-Chaser, his eyes deep and unwavering: “Yes, she is the result of humanity’s self-choice, so we don’t feel any threat from her, only the resonance and closeness from the heart. Now, it’s time to embark on the final battle, for our world, for our future.”
As Kevin’s words fell, an unprecedented solemnity and determination filled the entire headquarters.
The Honkai Herrschers knew that this moment… was the end!
…
On the other side of the screen.
At the Valkyrie dorm of St. Freya Academy…
Witnessing Kiana successfully complete the fusion of authority, passing the “End of the World Cocoon’s” test, and showcasing her dazzling “End of the World Law” form, left the “御三家” members and Fu Hua, the Immortal, stunned and filled with a mix of awe and joy.
Although the final outcome was yet to be decided, Kiana’s new form was enough to make people believe that the future Herrschers already held the key to surpassing everything.
Kiana’s eyes twinkled with dazzling light, her voice filled with unprecedented determination and excitement: “Ah! Is this what I’ll look like when I become the “End of the World Law” in the future? It looks so powerful! This time, I’ll definitely defeat Kevin! No, it’ll be my future self, along with a stronger Mei and Bronya, we will surely defeat Kevin!”
This time, it wasn’t just Kiana’s arrogance and self-confidence.
But she truly believed… that she, bearing the hope of everyone, with Raiden Mei and Bronya by her side… would definitely succeed in the future, turning a new chapter for human civilization!
…
Bearing the expectations and gazes of countless viewers, the camera delved deeper into the mysterious space – the territory of the “End of the World Cocoon”. In this unique realm, Kiana didn’t rush to search for the legendary being, but instead turned back to her two companions.
The “Origin Law”, Raiden Mei, and the “Truth Law”, Bronya, their steadfast figures like the most reliable backing, providing Kiana with endless strength and courage. This companionship filled Kiana’s heart with unprecedented confidence and determination.
Then, Kiana’s gaze, piercing through this warmth, resolutely settled on the awe-inspiring “giant” ahead. It was a colossal being standing amidst the glittering starry sky, its outer shell shattered, yet still flowing with dazzling purple light, the purest form of Honkai energy and Imaginary Numbers, the source of all Honkai on Earth, and the embodiment of all Herrscher powers – the true “End of the World Cocoon”.
At this moment, the three girls didn’t hesitate or retreat. They walked forward side-by-side, their steps firm and powerful, traversing the pure and dazzling light, finally arriving in front of the “End of the World Cocoon”.
…
The moment the girls approached, a dazzling white light suddenly condensed in front of them, like the first glimmer of dawn, illuminating everything around. This figure, whether a physical descent or merely an existence within consciousness, emanated an indescribable authority and profundity.
Though “It” remained silent, the intangible pressure was identical to Raiden Mei’s experience facing the Honkai will, causing people to feel an involuntary awe. Without needing to be told, the girls already had a clear answer to the identity of this figure – “It” was the supreme Honkai will, or some form of its embodiment.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, the air filled with a tense and silent atmosphere. The girls held their breath, prepared to meet any possible dialogue or test.
Finally, after a long wait, the white figure slowly spoke, its voice though light, echoed like a thunderclap in the girls’ hearts.
【Who are you?】
【It’s not you, Raiden Mei. It’s not you, Bronya Zaychik.】
Logically, since the “End of the World Cocoon” had chosen Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya as carriers of its power, it undoubtedly knew the identities of these three Herrschers. Yet, at such a critical juncture, “It” raised a question, an action that surely concealed a deeper intention.
Perhaps, the “End of the World Cocoon’s” question wasn’t a simple confirmation…
The implied meaning, perhaps only Kiana could comprehend.
…
Faced with the “End of the World Cocoon’s” sudden and “unintelligible” question, a flicker of understanding flashed in Kiana’s eyes. She seemed to grasp the profound meaning behind its words, understanding what the “End of the World Cocoon” truly wanted to “obtain” from them.
She let out a soft sigh, a sigh that seemed to contain complex emotions – a look back at the past, an anticipation of the future, and a firm resolve for the present.
Then, she slowly spoke, her voice clear and powerful, responding to the “End of the World Cocoon’s” question.
“I am Kiana Kaslana, an ordinary Valkyrie.
I am also K423, an experimental subject created by Otto.
I can also be considered… an extension of Sirin.
Of course, beyond those, I am more importantly, the daughter of Siegfried, the niece of Theresa, the sister of Yae Sakura, the student of Kiana, the friend of Mei, Bronya, and others.
And…
The descendant of Kevin.”
