Watching movies on Bengbu, you guys are a bit too normal.

After Kevin returned from eliminating the enemies on the beach, he refused May's offer to continue using the Blank Key at the cost of damaging her own body.

Mei, however, told Kevin that they couldn't sacrifice the chance to destroy the Honkai in order to protect her. During the battle, Mei took the Judgment of Heavenly Fire from his hand and launched the final blow against the Herrscher.

The fiery red hue lingered in Kevin's eyes. He remembered what May had just said.

He already possessed the power to protect Mei, but as a warrior, his primary duty should be to eliminate the Honkai.

May wanted him to understand what he was fighting for.

Undoubtedly, at this moment, May is guiding Kevin to become a true warrior against the Honkai, a true leader.

Towards a heroic path that truly brings humanity a tomorrow free from collapse, a path that brings hope and a future.

With this, the tenth Honkai Impact 3rd has ended.

In the scene where Dr. Mei uses the Blank Key to raise the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, the fiery red flames flashed before her eyes.

Teacher Himeko...

Her expression fell for a moment, but then she smiled again.

What's past is past. At least for now, Himeko-sensei is alright.

Kiana nodded.

The Herrscher of Domination once plunged them into a bitter struggle. She collected humanity's malice and despair, and even used Domination to steal their Herrscher powers. After she defeated the Herrscher of Domination, their cores were taken by Otto.

Fortunately, Otto was only using them to achieve his own plans.

That's a familiar way of destroying things.

This Herrscher perfectly embodies her "destruction."

Although the Moth of Fire discovered the individual and began monitoring him, his "quantum entanglement"-like communication method made him impossible to guard against.

Perhaps not long ago, he would have had similar questions and confusion. But now, he knows what he should fight for and how to become an indispensable leader on the journey to seek the fire.

During his student days, the words that Mei told Kevin ultimately became his fate.

His fears eventually came true.

"By choosing to 'follow,' I'm destined never to 'walk' alongside her again."

Because of the unique nature of the core of the Law of Domination, it was created into a thousand keys of domination.

Using these Dominion Keys, May began researching super-variant synthetic agents that could rapidly transform eligible individuals into Fusion Warriors.

Inside the base, Qian Jie, who participated in the project, was removed from the Fusion Warrior project because he destroyed a large number of Keys of Domination and was unable to awaken.

Therefore, Qianjie made a deal with Mebius, who agreed to help him awaken. To this end, she invited Kevin, who could bring Qianjie to the brink of death, to oversee the process.

Kevin sat in the shadows, holding the heavenly fire.

His words fell like a cold rain: "Don't worry, at most one person will die here today."

However, this experiment ended in failure again. In this medical accident, Qianjie shattered the twelve keys of control in Hua's hands.

Four years later, the eleventh Honkai arrived in an unexpected way.

And this most difficult battle, in the end, left only the words "massive casualties"...

That tragedy was the most heinous sin they committed.

For this reason, she had always believed that Kevin was the one who should atone for his sins the most.

Upon seeing this, even Alicia fell silent for a moment, because this tragedy had saddened and disappointed so many people.

Chapter 168 The Tragedy of Restraint

The eleventh law is the law of constraint.

This law can create a barrier with a radius of one hundred kilometers.

Using the power of collapse, a realm that refuses to collapse is created, and within the barrier, other forms of energy are weakened to varying degrees.

Ordinary humans will lose their bioelectric voltage and die rapidly within the barrier.

Within the barrier of the Herrscher of Binding, the Fusion Warriors whom the Flame Chaser is so proud of are no different from ordinary people.

During this time, Hua found Qianjie, but because the restrictive barrier had spread to this area, Qianjie fell into a coma.

Hua sent him to Mebius, who then performed a super-transformation surgery on him without authorization.

Then, with Su's mental power, Qianjie awoke again and went to the battlefield of restraint, but everything was weakened within the restraint barrier. Even with Qianjie and Hua joining forces, they only managed to buy some more time.

The Fusion Warriors suffered heavy casualties, and at the critical moment, Hua used the first rated power of Feathered Dust, creating the only chance to defeat the Herrscher of Binding.

Before she completely lost consciousness, the girl saw the purple crystal flower gradually envelop her, and between the petals, there was a ball of fire.

The ball of fire fell from the sky, seemingly capable of burning everything... along with the deathly silence.

"You did it, Hua."

“We have already sacrificed too much, and now…”

"Everything will be rewarded."

They triumphed over the Lawbringers, but what greeted this victory was still a silent stillness.

But that kind of power would probably kill more than just the Lawbearers of Restraint.

She didn't need to think too much to know that it involved the lives of the soldiers.

It's cruel, but it's one of the few ways to possibly defeat that Herrscher. If I were in command of this battle, could I give the orders...?

She didn't know... Indeed, she was still more suited to be a ruler who maintained the status quo.

No wonder they were always reluctant to talk to me about the details of the tragedy.

He was a witness to this tragedy, or rather, he was one of the biggest contributors to it.

Aponia believes he should atone for this, he doesn't deny it, but his moment of atonement has not yet arrived.

It's not bad that those unspeakable truths are revealed through this light screen.

When the backup team arrived, the Eleventh Herrscher was already hanging on an ambiguous cross, and was no longer heard from.

Even the most resolute warriors shed tears for this—they had thought that their own end was near, and that they would be buried with all the warriors here, with their former friends.

But victory... came so suddenly and illogically.

They saw ice, red ice, everywhere.

Although the battle had long ended, the man's unique chill still enveloped the entire battlefield.

All the blood that had flowed on this land was frozen in mid-air, just as it had been rising, like a dark red wave.

At the very center of everything, the purple glimmer vanished in an instant. The eternally blooming crystal rose withered and shattered because of the tragedy before its eyes.

Alicia scooped up the unconscious girl and stood in front of the man.

“Kevin… how are you going to explain this to her? This is definitely not the ending she wanted.”

"Hua will understand me."

"As I have said before, we have no other choice."

Ice and frost, like veins in a leaf, grew outwards from the man's feet.

But as he once said, they had no other choice.

She had never seen that tone or expression in her interactions with Alicia during this time.

But she felt she understood Alicia's character to a certain extent now. The fact that Alicia herself wore that expression showed how truly cruel the truth of that tragedy was.

He disliked all the joys and sorrows, whether in comedy or tragedy, but he was happy to see them end.

"Hey, Kevin..."

"Perhaps you are unwilling to admit it, but right now you are like an extension of Mei's will. Understanding you... that's not difficult at all."

“Even today, you are still just following Mei’s orders, I understand that.”

“But Kevin…look at these fallen people. They are your comrades, and they believed in your strength and determination more than anyone else.”

“From the very beginning, everyone knew their fate. But they still stepped into this place without hesitation... because they believed in you, believed that you could bring victory and hope to everyone.”

“Look at their faces, Kevin. Will your tears…freeze?”

"Their hopes have become the hopes of many more people. If I were in their shoes, I would make the same choice."

"We cannot dwell on the past, Alicia. We are fighting for the future of humanity."

"...I hate people who don't keep their promises."

Alicia looked at the sleeping girl in her arms and gently touched her forehead to the girl's brow. "But now, you've made it impossible for me to keep my promise to her."

She said nothing more and turned to leave with Hua. Amidst the red ice, the man stood alone for a long time.

He is the victor, but no one cheers for the victor. No one cheers for a tragedy.

Suddenly, the man seemed to realize something. He heard a sound, the sound of breathing.

As a physician, she saw a patient.

A patient who is terminally ill...

Like Lord Bai'e, you can't even cry anymore...?

Chapter 169 Humans, Herrschers

[After the tragedy of the constraints.]

Only thirteen Fusion Warriors remain, and humanity has only three cities left.

Thus, Kevin, who once dedicated himself to living in the moment and cherishing his comrades, has experienced a series of events, including self-reproach after hesitation and weakness, being forced to kill his comrades, sacrificing his seniors, and breaking ties with his juniors…

He carried with him a sense of purpose, and with the sacrifices and hopes of everyone.

Determined to fight for the future of humanity.

But in this future, it seems there was never a place for Kevin.

And then, a girl as beautiful as a falling flower made a suggestion. She said she wanted to plan a group of heroes, humanity's last line of defense. Named—

"The Thirteen Heroes Who Chased Fire".

Even though the higher-ups of the Firemoth did not approve this plan and instead sent the thirteen fusion warriors separately to the last three cities in the human race.

However, at Alicia's suggestion, with Eden providing the funding, Mebius providing the technology, and the two psycho-sensory fusion warriors, Aponia and Suholi, constructing a courtyard—

"Paradise of the Past".

It is inscribed with the memories of thirteen heroes, and although it was established after the Eleventh Herrscher incident, the memories of the heroes did not stop there.

Every memory of Yingjie knew their fate, except for one.

Sakura knew that the only person who never knew her own fate was her.

What happened next was something they didn't want Sakura to remember, so in the Paradise of the Past, only Sakura's memories remained unchanged.

Only she was unaware of her own fate, the truth of... the twelfth collapse.

That truth they couldn't bear to let Sakura know.

Later, the Firemoth detected a violent Honkai energy reaction in a girl's body, but she did not have any special abilities.

Moreover, she still retains human consciousness.

Although she appeared to be just a weak and helpless girl, people who were terrified of the Herrschers took her away and imprisoned her on the 33rd floor underground of the "base".

Dr. Mei was tasked with investigating the secrets within the girl, but to no avail.

The girl kept begging the doctor to let her go and return to her sister's side.

Mei was also filled with confusion, but she couldn't let the Herrscher leave until the truth was uncovered.

In the pitch-black cell, the girl, still retaining her human consciousness, constantly felt loneliness and fear. But the nightmare had only just begun…

Although Dr. May ordered that the girl not to be harmed, people's fear of her intensified day by day.

Although she is an ordinary girl now, no one can guarantee that this is her true nature. This thought continues to grow in people's minds—

Until one day, those who defied orders stormed into the prison and brutally murdered the unarmed "girl".
