[In the video.]
When Van, following the positioning on the map, arrived at the secret laboratory Otto spoke of, the fiery red armor inside the cultivation chamber suddenly lit up with lines that had never activated for hundreds of years.
The red greatsword beside it seemed to have sensed something, and on the blade appeared a tree-like inscription unique to the Honkai.
"Blank..."
Looking at the mech inside the cultivation chamber, a nostalgic expression appeared in Van's eyes.
Then he walked straight to the armor and reached out his hand.
The system's electronic voice suddenly sounded.
[Qualified individual detected...]
[Access request confirmed]
[Mental wavelength, authentication beginning]
[■■■ Permission authentication passed...]
The mechanical female voice suddenly froze, and from the dome of the laboratory descended a holographic log left behind by an unknown person:
"To the inheritor of the future, when you hold this sword, humanity has not yet given up the courage to resist the Honkai."
Van's right hand, holding the sword, trembled slightly. The temperature of the sword hilt was shockingly hot, as if holding onto the final warmth of a vanishing soul.
"Kevin, Mei... don't worry, we will definitely defeat the Honkai!"
Van stepped into the armor cabin, and scorching light poured over his body. The world in his eyes gradually turned fiery red, just like a blazing dawn, resplendent yet void.
Looking at the thirteen fleeting figures, Van's eyes were incomparably firm.
"Even if it means death, even if ten thousand people spit on me, no matter what price I must pay, I will definitely fulfill our wish!"
BOOM!
The massive machinery collapsed in the flames with a thunderous crash, reflecting Van's determined silhouette.
In the monitor behind him, Otto was watching the screen with a meaningful smile.
———
[Holy crap, huge drama?!]
[By the way, why did Van call this red mech "Blank"? Could he have already transmigrated?]
[Did I miss an episode? Who is Kevin? Who is Mei?]
[Don't say things full of flags like that! What's with the "no matter the cost"! Is this foreshadowing for opening the final battle?]
———
Seeing his and Mei's names appear in the video, Kevin was completely stunned.
And judging from Van's expression in the video, he clearly had an extraordinary relationship with both himself and Mei.
But why did he have no memory of this at all?
———
[Back to the video.]
[Schicksal Headquarters, outskirts of Helheim.]
The Herrscher of the Void wore a disdainful smile on her face.
Facing the oncoming anti-Entropy mechs and countless incoming missiles, she calmly snapped her fingers.
Snap~
From the void emerged countless portals that absorbed the missiles, then immediately redirected all of them to behind the mech army.
BOOM!
After the smoke cleared, the ground was covered in twisted, scorched mech wreckage. The metal shells still emitted green smoke.
The Herrscher of the Void stepped down onto the center of the ruins, standing on a floating cube. The heel of her boot crushed a deformed armor plate.
Seeing this, Tesla's fingers on the control console trembled slightly, muttering repeatedly, "It's over, it's over..."
At the same time, on the Helios, Theresa also received a piece of despair-inducing news.
"Reporting to the academy head, the Hyperion was attacked by an unknown Valkyrie unit on the way here! I repeat..."
Hearing this, Theresa stomped her foot angrily and cursed, "This scheme, it must be Grandpa's doing!"
Then, the scene shifts to the confidential office at Schicksal Headquarters.
Otto, holding a glass of red wine, looked leisurely at the screen showing the people battling the Herrscher of the Void.
"Theresa, my beloved granddaughter, this sacred battle must not be interfered with by any external force~"
———
[This damn Otto, why is he everywhere? So freaking infuriating!]
[The situation is bad! Van, please come quickly!]
[With the sword in hand, follow me! Charge Schicksal, slay that dog Otto!]
[The day the Queen descends is the day Anti-Entropy goes bankrupt]
[Pfft~ Sorry, I couldn't help but laugh, so that's what Lobster-head meant by "it's over," huh]
———
[Back to the video]
The Herrscher of the Void looked disdainfully at the massive wreckage of the mechs around her, then waved her hand and grabbed Raiden Mei by the neck.
"The annoying bugs are finally gone. Now, merge with me once more, my other half."
A purple figure emerged from Raiden Mei's body and, under the Herrscher's control, transformed into a gem.
"Mei... Mei! My beloved half, my burning soul, wait no longer, come into my embrace and become my strength once again!"
As the Gem of Conquest fused into her body, a powerful surge of energy burst forth from within, causing the Herrscher of the Void to feel an overwhelming expansion.
Looking at the regrouping crowd not far away, she sneered, "Are you ready to face your judgment?"
However, just as she was about to unleash the Herrscher's power to deal a fatal blow to the annoying bugs, a sound breaking through the air came from the sky.
"Hmph, another ignorant bug coming to die."
BOOM!
With a loud crash, Fu Hua, wearing the Shadow Knight armor, arrived at the scene.
———
Real world.
Seeing the valiant Fu Hua on screen, Ji Xuanyuan excitedly hugged Fu Hua's arm.
"Whether in real life or in the video, Fu Hua is always so cool! The remaining plot must be Fu Hua beating the evil Herrscher and saving the world~"
After speaking, she even gave Van a provocative look.
The meaning in that gaze was self-evident.
To this, Van thought silently in his heart, 'I wonder what you'll think after watching the rest of the plot.'
