[Pardofelis]:"I still don't understand why the genes of an Emperor-class Honkai beast can be immune to the damage from the Herrscher of Flame?"
[Sakura]:"Kevin's physical constitution was exceptional from the start. Even as an ordinary human, he wielded a baseball bat to lead Mei through hordes of Honkai beasts during the Third Eruption.It's like your luck, Pardo—it's innate talent. Not something ordinary people can replicate."
[Griseo]:"Kosma, why do we say Uncle Kevin resisted the Judgement of Shamash? Shouldn't it be Shamash resisting Uncle Kevin instead?"
Griseo tilted her head as she watched Dr. Einstein's analysis of Kevin on screen, looking at Kosma with confusion.
[Kosma]:"..."
[Elysia]: *"That's because your dear Uncle~ Kevin~ is simply too strong!
After all, he was the first among us~"*
[Griseo]:"Understood, big sister Elysia~"
[Seele brought back the body of the pseudo-Herrscher of Flame, but Sirin dismissed it with contempt, calling it worthless. She had already gathered sufficient energy by destroying human cities.
Sirin stood atop the heavens as torrents of Honkai energy cascaded down from the Tower of Babylon. "Now... it's this world's turn."
"First—let's begin with this continent."
At Schicksal Headquarters, Otto immediately noticed the anomaly occurring in Siberia. Honkai energy was spreading outward at 200 kilometers per hour. "Planning to annihilate all of Siberia in one go?"
"It seems time is running short for me."
Otto promptly issued orders: "Notify all units. It's time to pay the Second Herrscher a visit."]
[March 7th]:"Is the final battle finally beginning?"
[Stelle]:"Fighting—hell yeah!"
[Stelle]:"Since we're heading into the decisive battle, let's analyze the combat strength on both sides."
[Kiana]:"That jerk dad just activated his Metamorphosis factor and got a huge power boost."
[Durandal]:"Lady Cecilia wielding the Abyss Flower will soon arrive on the battlefield."
[Theresa]:"Grandfather will stop at nothing to resurrect Grandma Kallen!"
[Bronya Zaychik]:"MANTIS warriors from the Previous Era are making covert moves."
[Qingque]:"Uh... as for the opposition... we have an unprecedented six-core Herrscher reigning over her loyal Siberia?" [Upon his return, Siegfried was informed that Cecilia would also participate in the operation against the Second Herrscher, and that he would join the battle tomorrow morning.
Returning home, Siegfried gazed tenderly at the sleeping Kiana. He hadn't been able to spend time with his child lately. Once this is all over... Siegfried lovingly stroked Kiana's head. "Papa... Mama... it's so cold..."
Kiana tightened her little blanket and murmured in her sleep. Siegfried hastily withdrew his hand—it had turned dark blue like a beast's claw, emitting wisps of cold air. He hurried out of the room, staring at his now-normal hand in shock. "...Was that... just an illusion?"
Just then, his combat notification arrived: "Lord Siegfried, departure time approaches. Please proceed to the airfield."
"Mission directives have been sent to your personal terminal."]
[Mobius]:"Oh, Siegfried's current condition is perfectly normal. After some time mastering control over himself, he'll be fine."
[Mobius]:"Not everyone is Kevin. While MANTIS enhancements are significant, their side effects are equally substantial."
[Three hours later, Honkai energy had corrupted the entire Siberian plain. Estimated Honkai beast numbers exceeded 500,000. Due to the high concentration of Honkai energy, satellite radar systems within Siberia had failed.
We could no longer pinpoint the Second Herrscher's exact location. All Valkyrie forces would be divided into two teams:
The northern contingent consisted of Valkyries from European headquarters, led by Siegfried Kaslana—230 personnel. The southern contingent comprised Valkyries from African and Oceania branches, led by Cecilia Schariac—212 personnel. To eliminate these Honkai beasts, preparations were made for heavy artillery carpet bombing. However, Valkyries first needed to search Siberia for survivors and traces of the Second Herrscher. Even with S-rank Valkyrie Cecilia personally leading search operations... At most, she only managed to rescue a few dozen people... Five minutes later, humanity's decisive battle against the Second Herrscher officially began.]
[Bronya Rand]:"I originally thought the Honkai would be similar to Fragmentum corruption... I underestimated it."
[Gepard]:"500,000 Honkai beasts... If the Fragmentum spawned that many enemies, we would've collapsed long ago."
[March 7th]:"Only a few dozen people rescued... then the others..."
She didn't need to finish. Everyone understood—under such catastrophic Honkai outbreaks, ordinary humans stood no chance of survival.
[Vill-V]:"Under such intense Honkai radiation... ordinary people have virtually no chance. Either they become zombies or turn to ash. There is no third outcome."
[Over thousands of years, alongside human civilization's development, Honkai beasts continuously evolved. By the second millennium AD, Honkai beasts were completely different from before.
Their carapaces were incredibly durable—ordinary bullets couldn't scratch them. To penetrate this armor required at least anti-tank rockets. Yet even after piercing through... Against Emperor-class Honkai beasts exceeding ten meters in height—
Anti-tank rockets could only destroy a small portion of their bodies. Eliminating a single Emperor-class Honkai beast required sacrificing 5,000 fully armed soldiers. Thus, deploying conventional military forces against Honkai beasts was merely a waste of lives and resources. However, Schicksal could only field fewer than 500 Valkyries. Therefore, Otto's decision to carpet bomb the entire Siberian plain with heavy weaponry was undoubtedly the most economical approach.]
[March 7th]:"Honkai beasts are that strong?"
[Honkai Star Rail - Welt]:"March, in these videos you only see Valkyries fighting.For ordinary people, even encountering the weakest zombie would be disastrous. Not everyone is like Kevin—capable of battling Honkai beasts as a normal human."
[Stelle]:"Yeah! Exactly!"
[March 7th]:"You're the last person who should say that!"
March shot a sideways glance at the teasing Trailblazer.
[Mei]:"Otto is an extremely decisive ruler. If only he had focused more seriously on combating the Honkai... what a shame..."
[Mobius]:"Indeed. By all metrics, his capabilities are top-tier."
Both scientists simultaneously thought of Fire MOTH's anthropomorphized leadership—even when humanity teetered on extinction, those idiots were still busy with internal power struggles!
