"The footsteps of Finality can no longer be stopped...

Death is the beginning of rebirth, returning the souls of humanity to the origin, and the world will return to peace...

As fellow messengers of god, let us complete this final ritual together."

Raiden Mei: "Kiana..."

Herrscher of Finality: "Why are you crying...

Why... is your heart so sad... Mei... I'm sorry..."

"At least in the end, let us go back together.

Back to everyone's side...

Goodbye."

At that critical moment, Kiana's soul seemed to break free from the abyss, briefly regaining control of her body.

However, it is a pity...

The dominance of the body was still firmly in the cold and ruthless hands of the 【Herrscher of Finality】.

The destruction of the planet had already become an irreversible fate.

As the cold words of the 【Herrscher of Finality】 fell, the ultimate Honkai energy poured onto this blue planet like a violent torrent.

In an instant!

The frenzy of power raged, and the Earth was instantly swallowed by flames intertwined with darkness and crimson, turning into a terrifying "black-red planet".

And as this civilization era of the Honkai 2 world collapsed with a bang, lines of subtitles depicting future scenes slowly emerged on the light screen, entering the audience's shocked eyes.

【Honkai occurred, life signs returned to zero.】

【Confirmation of trigger conditions met, starting module restart...】

【Gene writing started, restart cycle set.】

【Order execution countdown started.】

【Order execution started, record cycle count: 2 winters】.

208. New Video, Kiana's Diversity? Fan-made 【White Bug Tavern】!?

The audience stared at the slowly scrolling descriptive text on the light screen, and gradually realized...

In that Honkai 2 world, the 【Herrscher of Finality】 is not the messenger of civilization restart, but the existence that ends everything.

Just as the audience had worried before...

The descent of the 【Herrscher of Finality】 signals the end of all things; she will not bring rebirth, but will completely destroy everything, leaving no room for anything.

However...

Although the 【Herrscher of Finality】 will not open a new chapter for human civilization, this does not mean that this world will sink, with no one to take on the heavy responsibility of restarting civilization.

The Zero Civilization Era, Dr. MEI's crystallization of wisdom—【Stigma Terminal】 and 【Alaya-Vijnana】, became the light of hope for the rebirth of human civilization.

These two devices, like guardians, quietly waited for the Earth. Once they detected the disappearance of life on Earth, they would start, restarting the evolutionary journey of human civilization.

Not only that, the 【Stigma Terminal】 would also collect the experience and advantages of every failed civilization era, gradually accumulating these precious data, and through countless calculations and deductions, find a way to truly surpass 【Honkai】, opening up a bright path for humanity's future.

However, although there is a mechanism on Earth capable of restarting human civilization, Kiana at this moment has fallen into deep sorrow and self-blame.

Under the power of the 【Herrscher of Finality】, human civilization was completely destroyed, and when she finally recovered into the kind Kiana, she found that she had personally buried everything.

She stood in the desolate universe, surrounded by silent darkness and broken planets, and the once prosperous civilization had become a thing of the past. The fact that she herself caused all this tragedy was an irony and pain that cut through her heart like a sharp blade.

Even more heartbreaking was that on the vast cosmic screen, a line of cold text about the 【Herrscher of Finality】 appeared again, like a verdict, branded in the audience's sight.

【The vitality of the world was isolated in this Honkai, and was eventually inevitably destroyed.】

【After wiping out humanity, Kiana regained her sanity.】

【Tortured by painful memories, she tried to end her own life, but she could not die.】

【The desperate Kiana closed off her emotions, and after a long time, dissipated along with the Honkai.】

Exactly as described before, Kiana, who became the 【Herrscher of Finality】, could not even commit suicide if she wanted to.

Her existence seemed to be tightly bound by fate, living and dying with 【Honkai】.

When everything settled, she could only dissipate gradually as the 【Honkai】 dissipated, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, leaving behind a brief and brilliant light, followed by endless darkness and silence.

However, this is the unchanging law of the universe—life and death, creation and destruction, always cycle repeatedly, endlessly.

Human civilization, even in the ashes of destruction, can always find the spark of rebirth.

When a new civilization rises again, 【Honkai】 will follow like a shadow, descending upon this world again.

This is an endless contest, an eternal game between life and power, hope and despair.

But even so, humanity has never given up hope. Between the end and the rebirth of every civilization era, there lies infinite possibility.

Perhaps one day, humanity will be able to find a way to truly surpass 【Honkai】, letting this world forever get rid of the shadow of destruction and usher in a true "tomorrow".

Outside the light screen, the audience had just witnessed the tragic fate of Kiana, the "Herrscher of Finality", in the Honkai 2 world, and their hearts were filled with sorrow and pain, and they poured out their emotions on the bullet comments one after another.

【Kiana: This... what is this! The me in a parallel world actually personally destroyed human civilization, but why won't the Honkai Will give up? Opening my eyes, I find that I am the culprit who destroyed everything... This despair, this pain that goes deep into the bone marrow, who can understand?】

【Raiden Mei: What's even more heartbreaking is that Kiana can't even free herself from this pain. The power of the Herrscher of Finality makes even suicide a luxury...】

【Theresa: And such cruel things might have to be staged countless times in the Honkai 2 world... This is too scary. And too pitiful... When will it end... When will everyone in the Honkai 2 world be able to find true hope like us.】

【Murata Himeko: Things are far from that simple. The root of the problem lies in the "Honkai Will" of that world itself!】

【Elysia: That's right, the Honkai Will of that world seems to have been pushing everything towards complete destruction...】

【Dr. MEI: But I don't understand... what benefit does the complete destruction of civilization have for "Honkai"?】

【Otto: I am also thinking about this question... The disappearance of human civilization, while the key to restarting civilization is in the hands of humanity itself, is completely inconsistent with the goals of the "People from Beyond" and the "Cocoon of Finality". It's really strange... What exactly is the "Honkai Will" of the Honkai 2 world planning?】

【Dr. MEI: The only reasonable explanation is that the "Honkai Will" of the Honkai 2 world has more special plans... or is simply malicious towards human civilization. This is completely different from our world...】

【Otto: That's the only way to understand it...】

【Stelle: Compared to these, let's see what videos will be played later. Perhaps what we hope and look forward to is hidden in the next video...】

In the live broadcast room.

Watching the audience mourning for the cruelty and tragedy of the Honkai 2 world.

Bai Feng naturally would not play some depressing and sad videos continuously.

The next one will definitely be a story that leans towards being relaxed and stress-relieving.

Bai Feng: "The audience must be very painful and worried about the previous story, and feel sad about the ending of Honkai 2 Kiana."

"But no need to worry... in the future civilization era... Kiana will eventually be able to save her own world and will also walk on a better path."

"And next, I will bring you a completely different story."

"It should be said... I hope the audience can get more comfort and stress relief in the next video."

"So next... the story I will bring is..."

"In a different worldview, with the help of 【Dr. Dawei】... Kiana walking through different world bubbles!"

"And her story will be incredibly wonderful!"

In the eager and expectant eyes of the audience, Bai Feng did not give them too much time to discuss.

Instantly, the pitch-black light screen lit up again, and the video began to play immediately.

The image slowly unfolded, and the first thing that came into view was Kiana's figure.

However, she appeared unusually disheveled at this moment, with tattered clothes, messy hair, and a face full of fatigue and helplessness.

The audience's intuition was not wrong; Kiana had indeed gone through a difficult journey.

Long-distance trekking and endless battles had tortured her body and mind.

According to what Bai Feng said... she should have been "adventuring" back and forth in different world bubbles, and was already extremely exhausted.

At this moment, she felt as if she had been completely hollowed out, with almost no strength left to even stand.

Her stomach rumbled, reminding her that she hadn't eaten for a long time.

A sense of dizziness surged like a tide, causing her vision to blur.

Kiana helplessly rubbed her empty stomach, muttering constantly, her voice filled with fatigue and helplessness.

"Ah... so hungry! So hungry!"

"I'm so hungry I feel like I could swallow a Honkai beast."

"Damn it, why did I have to go through such pain in the previous world."

Although her heart was full of complaints.

But Kiana knew that she couldn't just stop here. She tightly covered her forehead, trying to alleviate the dizziness that kept coming; although her steps were heavy, she still continued to move forward firmly.

She secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that a turning point would appear ahead, allowing her to find food and restore her strength...

"Sigh, if only an inn could appear at this time, I could have a good meal inside and take a nap by the way."
