Chapter 75

As Durandal's adjutant, Rita believed this was one of her tasks.

And regarding Rita's direct questioning, Otto had long since grown accustomed to it.

It was often like this...

In fact, Otto was relatively tolerant toward his Valkyries in most situations...

So, regarding these questions from Rita, Otto had no angry reaction.

Instead, he said: "Rita, you should understand that the records in Schicksal's archives regarding the Second Eruption..."

"Are the ones most helpful to Schicksal's image."

"If humanity wants to resist the Honkai, it must first have an absolute leader..."

"Otherwise, counting on those self-serving nations to consolidate the power to resist the Honkai."

"Is absolutely impossible..."

"The Fire Moth of the previous civilization era is a very good example."

Durandal's eyes narrowed, catching the meaning behind Otto's words.

"So Overseer, regarding the truth of the Second Eruption..."

"You really did conceal it, didn't you?"

Otto laughed: "This is not concealment, but rather taking this story that was almost despair-inducing..."

"And beautifying it slightly..."

"Beautifying?"

Durandal looked at Otto.

Otto continued: "That's right, because only those who have experienced it personally would know..."

"How desperate it is when facing a more powerful Honkai!"

"If it weren't for the Immortal Red Phoenix that time."

"Perhaps we humans would have completely vanished during the Second Eruption..."

Rita looked at Otto: "So the Honkai God really did descend."

"That's right..."

"It descended..."

"But it was also slashed to death by the Immortal Red Phoenix with one sword!"

Herta Space Station...

"Can I finally see that guy!"

"The guy who can convert Imaginary energy into Honkai energy and Authority without going through a Path!"

Herta couldn't help but get excited.

"If I can see that guy, maybe I can determine something from his form..."

"And know how that guy managed to do it..."

Herta was certain that if she could also master this magical ability.

That would be a huge boost to her own strength...

It might even change the landscape of the entire universe!!!

The ability to convert Imaginary Authority and Imaginary energy is something only an Aeon can do...

Asta asked somewhat skeptically: "Ms. Herta, you say this Honkai God..."

"Could it also possess the powerful strength of an Aeon?"

Herta said uncertainly: "The existence of this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Perhaps that strongest Herrscher of the End is just a part of his power."

"Or perhaps the Herrscher of the End is his..."

"Emanator!?"

On the Astral Express...

When Welt heard Bai Feng mention the Second Eruption and the Honkai God in the video.

He also recalled his own encounter back then...

March 7th looked at Welt curiously: "Mr. Yang, is this Honkai consciousness really that powerful?"

Welt nodded: "Yes."

"It was also because of his appearance that the difficulty coefficient of the Second Eruption skyrocketed."

"Otherwise, I would have already defeated the Herrscher of the Void."

Stelle said, touching a sore spot: "Wasn't that Mr. Yang's fantasy?"

"Saying that you killed the Herrscher of the Void..."

Welt: "..."

"I almost killed her, but someone stopped me halfway."

"It was also because of this interference that the whole situation developed into a completely uncontrollable state."

An uncontrollable state?

The people on the Astral Express, upon hearing this, all continued to watch the live stream with immense curiosity...

In the live stream...

Bai Feng said that Fu Hua would go on to slash the Honkai God with her sword.

Bronya spoke: "Regarding the Second Eruption, I don't know many of the details..."

"So next, I will still have to let the Captain lead the telling of this story."

Bai Feng nodded: "That's normal. After all, in order to conceal his own goals, Otto beautified the Second Eruption quite a bit..."

"And the occurrence of the Second Eruption also involved Otto's behind-the-scenes instigation."

"Let's start from the very beginning of the whole story."

"At the same time, we will also recount the first true Herrscher battle to occur in two civilization eras!"

"The First Herrscher, Herrscher of Reason, Welt Yang vs the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin!!!"

"First, let us take a look at Sirin."

As Bai Feng spoke, he placed Sirin's portrait on the video screen...

It was a young girl with a purple color scheme throughout...

She had a pair of golden pupils and long, flowing purple hair.

An extremely manic aura radiated from her surroundings.

Her eyes were even more dismissive, as if she didn't take anything into account...

The audience from the previous civilization era was all too familiar with a Herrscher in this state...

The Herrschers that appeared in the previous civilization era!

Were basically all like this, completely puppets of the Honkai!

"Sirin was originally just a young girl who held onto her own dreams."

"However, heaven has unpredictable storms; Sirin's mother died from Honkai sickness, but Sirin, who had been by her mother's side the whole time, was fine..."

"This attracted the attention of the local Schicksal organization."

"Through research, they discovered that Sirin possessed incredible resistance to Honkai energy."

"But Sirin was not a Stigmata Awakener."

"Thus, Sirin was taken in by the Babylon Laboratory under Schicksal as a test subject, number 52!"

"In the experiments, Sirin displayed even more outrageous resistance to Honkai energy!"

"She could even absorb and neutralize Honkai energy..."

"This made the scientists conducting the experiments feel as if they had discovered a treasure."

"Although these experiments didn't pose any danger to Sirin, the process was still incomparably painful."

"Likewise, during this process, Sirin watched her friends, who were also test subjects, die in agony one after another before her eyes."

"Powerless against all this, she began to crave power."

"And so..."

"The Herrscher of the Void was born!"

St. Freya Academy...

Bronya, listening to Bai Feng's narration, couldn't help but clench her fists: "It's the consequences caused by this kind of experiment again..."

"Sure enough, both Schicksal and the Anti-Entropy radicals are secretly conducting these experiments!"

"Sirin becoming the Herrscher of the Void seems more like she was forced into it."

Mei frowned and nodded.

Both of them knew very well how desperate and fearful it felt to be treated as a test subject!

And how painful it was when being experimented on.

Fu Hua watched in silence...

At this moment, Fu Hua clearly knew that she had been deceived by Otto!

At the very least, the records in Schicksal headquarters were not recorded this way.

"Kiana, what's wrong?"

Bronya's suddenly sounding voice...

Interrupted Fu Hua's thoughts.

The three of them looked at Kiana together, only to see that Kiana's face was filled with fury.

She was even gnashing her teeth.

Her fists were clenched tightly...

Even more furious than when she had just seen Fu Hua killed by the Seven Swords of Taixuan.

Seeing this scene, Fu Hua's expression sank abruptly!

"Could it be... Sirin inside Kiana?"

Fu Hua immediately became vigilant.

"Kiana, are you okay?"

Mei also called out, and it was this call from Mei that made Kiana snap out of it.

Then she returned to her usual self and looked at Mei: "Why are you all looking at me?"

"Why aren't you watching the live stream?"

Bronya's brow furrowed slightly: "Just now, dummy Kiana looked like she was very angry?"

"Does dummy Kiana know the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin?"

Kiana carefully examined Sirin in the video screen: "No..."

"I have never seen this person at all, but I have a familiar feeling."

Bronya sighed helplessly: "You must have not been paying attention in class again, and completely forgot after seeing it in the textbook."

"Hehe..."

Kiana scratched her hair embarrassedly: "That must be it, I forgot..."

The Imaginary barrier immediately showed cracks...

Fortunately, there were no signs of Sirin awakening.

"Let's continue watching, let's see what exactly happened back then."

The three of them nodded and continued to watch...

In the office...

Theresa looked at Sirin's photo and couldn't help but clench her fists again.

"Sirin!!!"

It was precisely because of Sirin's appearance back then that Kiana's family was broken and destroyed!

At this moment, Theresa had always believed this to be the case.

"Did Welt really almost kill this Herrscher back then?"

"But why did she escape?"

Theresa shook her head: "I don't know, let's keep watching..."

"I want to know now what role Grandfather played in this story..."

"And what he went and did..."

In the live stream...

Bai Feng briefly introduced this Second Herrscher, Sirin, to the audience.

Tragic...

This was the audience's first feeling in their hearts...

Extremely tragic!

She was clearly just a young girl with slightly better resistance to Honkai energy.

Yet she was captured by a laboratory under Schicksal and subjected to those inhumane experiments.

Suddenly, some people felt that Sirin becoming a Herrscher didn't seem like such a strange thing.

Someone who had been hurt by the world to this extent...

Is it possible for her to protect the whole world like Welt Joyce?

Also...

But it must be extremely rare...

"Bronya, how much do you know about the battle between Welt and the Herrscher of the Void?"

Bronya shook her head: "Bronya doesn't know much about this."

"But what is certain is that Mr. Welt should not have defeated Sirin."

"Otherwise, so many things wouldn't have happened later."

Bai Feng smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, Welt was just a hair's breadth away from killing Sirin!"

"And at that time, Sirin had just completed her Herrscher transformation..."

"Just a little bit more, and Welt could have strangled the Second Eruption in the cradle before it even began!"

"But he was stopped by someone..."

"And the person who stopped Welt..."

"Was a..."

"Jester!"

[Theresa: A Jester!? Did such a character appear in the Second Eruption?]

[Honkai Bronya: No relevant information found...]

[March 7th: Wait, is this a nickname or a characteristic?]

[Welt: Both...]

[Sampo: A Jester? Could it be a mask...]
