The Queen's Return and the Oracle

Cecilia watched the scene unfold in the game, seeing Siegfried's internal struggle as he killed his younger self on the moon.

Siegfried must have been in so much pain at that time, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Sirin looked at herself from the perspective of a human in the game and had a different feeling.

She felt that she was a little careless. If she just followed Bella's instructions and kept throwing meteorites, she would get good results, so why bother talking to them?

This time it's good; it laid the cause and effect for my own failure.

But, forget it, I will definitely learn my lesson next time.

Siren secretly swore, but then she was immersed in Cecilia's gentle country and couldn't extricate herself.

Beside her, Bella watched with disdain as the Queen, now belonging to someone else, entered an intimate scene.

It was clear in her mind that she should have been the one there. Tears welled in her eyes as she bit her lip, torn between helplessness and determination.

In her heart, she promise to do whatever it took to free the Queen from this misery!

The heroes and warriors were also watching this scene. The world and their persistence were placed on both sides of the balance.

It is precisely because of the excellent quality that the choice becomes more difficult at this time.

"Every era has such warriors," Elysia sighed. "They rise when civilization falters, guiding humanity away from its destined downfall."

Eden, with a gentle smile, added, "It's through them that civilization shines, igniting a beacon of hope and inspiration."

"Yes," a determined glint in her eyes, "I will watch them closely. Regardless of the outcome, this will be a spectacle to behold."

Just like her own ending...

...

Fueled by the revelation of truth, Sirin's rage boiled over. With Welt on the verge of a final blow, a chilling grin spread across his face.

He gripped her wrist tightly, manipulating the Honkai energy within him to its critical mass.

Collapse loomed, the surging energy threatening to Eat them both.

[Herrscher, join me and become dust among the stars! ]

In a split second, Sirin reacted. Seizing the Herrscher of Reason's core, she contained the volatile energy, preventing the cataclysmic collapse.

Yet, in that action, Welt himself vanished without a trace.

Now, with her sights set on Earth, Sirin's true vengeance began.

Piloting her battleship, she returned Benares, unleashing an army of 13,766 Honkai beasts upon the planet(siberia).

Her first target: the Tower of Babel.

Using her newfound power, Sirin revived her fallen comrades - Agata, Aurora, and Galina - imbuing them with a fraction of her Herrscher power, turning them into formidable pseudo-Herrschers (puppet).

War consumed the Earth. Thunderstorms raged, flames engulfed cities, and death stalked the land. The rhythm of annihilation pulsed through the world.

Astana, Kazakhstan, fell to the scorching might of the Pseudo-Herrscher of Fire.

Oulu, Finland, trembled under the frigid gales commanded by the Pseudo-Herrscher of Wind.

In Novosibirsk, Russia, the chilling grasp of the Pseudo-Herrscher of Death spread despair.

As chaos Spread, whispers of the apocalypse echoed through the hearts of humanity.

The question remained: who could face this monstrous tide of destruction?

Schicksal immediately took action. Otto launched an impassioned pre-war speech and summoned the B-level and above Valkyries from all over Europe. At this time, he showed the demeanor of the Archbishop of Schicksal.

But for Theresa, his granddaughter, Otto didn't want her to fight.

Otto confiscated her Judas oath, imprisoned Theresa, and prohibited her from participating in the war.

"Theresa, I won't let you leave here until you completely master Judas. If you want to fight against the Herrscher, you must use the zeroth-rated power, but in that case, you will die."

With Theresa secured, Otto watched the unfolding events, a glint in his eyes.

Is the Herrscher of Death's power truly as magnificent as the legends say?

---

Theresa glared at Himeko beside her. "I never sat out the war! Being an S-rank Valkyrie, imprisonment was absurd!"

"Then why?" Himeko pressed, curious.

Theresa blushed, stammering, unable to form a complete sentence. Could she admit the truth? After a tower incident and faulty treatment equipment, she was non-combatant for a while. But admitting weakness was unthinkable!

Thus, the truth remained shrouded in an awkward silence, leaving Himeko confused and Theresa's frustration simmering.

...

"..." The room was quiet, and no one spoke while watching this scene.

Sirin watched this scene, clenched her fists, looked gloomy, and said nothing.

"Hey, don't be sad, second Sister," Kiana offered, unsure how to comfort her. "It's all in the past now."

"No, Kiana, although little Sirin doesn't want to see this scene, the reason why she is angry now is that she has never done this." Cecilia smiled softly and touched Sirin's little brain.

Sirin hates Schicksal, but the situation is not the same as in the picture.

Kallen, upon learning the truth, had rushed to the tower to personally apologize and prioritize capturing researchers alive during arrests.

Though Sirin didn't fully agree, she acknowledged the effort as a form of kindness.

It was at that time, after careful consideration, that Kallen agreed to Theresa's construction of St. Freya, which seemed to be a steady loss-making project.

Maybe she took that as an apology to those orphans in tower that become the subject of research, even though it came a little late.

Sirin's retribution was solely focused on Siberia, the tower. Honkai's whispers tempted her to lash out further, but Schicksal's influence kept her entangled.

She let out a frustrated sigh, glancing at Luo Mo. "Then why show me this? You know I didn't do those things!"

A sudden realization dawned on her. Even without those specific actions, the weight of Schicksal's past still burdened her.

"At least," she muttered, head hanging low, "it wasn't that bad... right?"

Luo Mo was silent and looked at Sirin. Her shoulders were shaking, and the hair on her head was gone(just metaphor). She was scared, but she shouldn't say comforting words to herself.

He narrowed his eyes, rubbing his palms together. "Perhaps you've forgotten, Sirin. This is a game, not reality. I never claimed it was a perfect reflection of your life."

"But… wouldn't Cecilia's mother still hate me?" The question tumbled out, laced with desperation.

"It's time to face the bigger picture, Sirin," Luo Mo stated, his voice firm. "Denying who you are – human or Herrscher – won't gain you acceptance from either side."

Sirin bristled, anger flaring. "What are you talking about? Of course, I'm human!" Her voice cracked, betraying the insecurity gnawing at her core.

Bella, observing the exchange, bit her tongue. As a Honkai beast companion, born to serve the Queen, she longed to fight at her side again. Yet, a deeper yearning flickered within her: for the Queen to find true happiness.

"Well, I understand." Luo Mo did not continue. He naturally understood the principle that when enough is enough,

...

This time, Schicksal acted quickly, and Otto's passionate speech injected more powerful spiritual power into the Valkyrie.

"From the north, our mightiest Valkyrie, Cecilia, has returned. She will guide us in dispelling the storm."

"From the south, our esteemed commander Cheng Lixue stands ready to defend every inch of our land to his last breath!"

"And from the east, I, Otto Apocalypse, the Archbishop of Schicksal, will stand shoulder to shoulder with everyone, prepared to fight to the end!"

The cheers of numerous Valkyries brought life to what was once a desolate scene. Many legendary Valkyries pledged to confront this catastrophe together.

They were determined to weather this storm unscathed.

Offstage, Fu Hua observed the impassioned speech with a calm demeanor, her head bowed as if lost in deep thought.

She whispered to herself, "Otto, how much truth lies in the words you just spoke?"

As the Valkyries marched onto the battlefield, the tide seemed to be turning in their favor.

Initially, Amber led the forces in a heated battle against the Herrscher of Death. Then, Otto made a sudden appearance and used Mimic Phoenix Down to defeat the Herrscher.

Elsewhere, although Cheng Lixue fell in battle, But Master Fu Hua arrived just in time to subdue the Herrscher of Flame.

Cecilia managed to penetrate the storm and struck the Herrscher's chest with a single blow, accomplishing her mission with ease.

As for Bella, who had taken on a human form, Siegfried arrived and used Judgement of Shamash to shatter half of her wings, bringing the battle to a close.

After subduing the Herrscher of Death, Otto didn't execute her right away. Instead, he gazed at the Herrscher with a heavy heart, as if his battle had only just begun.

With the aid of the Void Archive, he successfully infiltrated the consciousness of the Death Herrscher, only to discover that she was neither a Herrscher nor a human, but merely a puppet.

Otto remained silent. He touched his forehead with his hand, his body trembling uncontrollably. However, his green eyes soon regained their calm

His determination was unwavering, as always.

"Second Herrscher, I will find you soon."

"Nothing can prevent Kallen and me from reuniting."

His calm eyes turned cold, his hands mimicked the shape of two guns, and flames blazed behind him, symbolizing his struggle against destiny.

He spoke in a soft voice, but his words resonated with immense power.

"Not even God!"

...

"Amber? But why does she look so much like me?" Kallen questioned, her gaze fixed on Amber. Amber's goggles had been shattered in the heat of battle, revealing a face identical to Kallen's.

"Could this be the result of a prohibited cloning experiment? Otto, it's really… but his speech sounds somewhat familiar."

Kallen smiled, which made the guard next to her look at the screen and then at the bishop. Isn't this exactly the same?

Upon witnessing Otto's emotions laid bare before the Law of Death, she couldn't help but wonder,

"A reunion with… me?"

"But in that world, wasn't I already dead?" Kallen frowned again. Even now, the concept of resurrection remains an unexplored territory.

It's a subject considered too taboo, and as per tradition, no one has ever dared to attempt to resurrect the dead.

...

"Wow, mom is so awesome!" Kiana's eyes revealed little stars. She is indeed the mother she admires the most!

While others were grappling with their challenges and depending on others for assistance, Cecilia stood out. With a single, decisive strike, she demonstrated the true essence of an S-class Valkyrie's power.

"Lord Cecilia… she's incredibly strong. Is this the same Lady Cecilia who fought on the battlefield before?" Mei mused, unable to hide her awe.

Before, when I was at Chiba Academy, I didn't know much about Cecilia.

However, since I met Kiana, and especially after we arrived at St. Freya, I've heard the Valkyries mention Cecilia's name almost constantly. Her reputation seems to be everlasting.

Sirin remained silent, hugging her knees and burying her head between them, a wave of sadness washing over her.

As the man had pointed out, the women she had brought back were merely bodies, mere puppets under her control. But what she truly desired were her friends who had stood by her side!

"As expected of my mother! Sure enough, I still have a lot of room for improvement." Durandal, who was in the middle of her workout, glanced at the screen and sighed.

She resolved to double her exercise routine for the day.

"Oh, I can't slack off like yesterday. I spent a long time shopping with Rita. I still need to exercise every day to improve my strength!"

With her fists clenched, she felt a surge of power coursing through her. She looked at the image of Cecilia on the screen, who had been her role model since childhood.

....

The scene changed.

Honkai energy pulsed outwards, consuming the sky in its ominous glow. This was it, the climactic battle at the Tower of Babylon, the place where legends began and might just conclude.

Otto, Cheng Lixue, and Sirin directly confronted each other. Facing the vast Honkai energy in the sky that almost dyed the sky, But the two of them did not panic.

Suddenly, a voice cut through the tension. "Otto," said a figure in simple garb, a lone strand of silver cascading down their back.

She was Fu Hua, her voice calm despite the gravity of the situation. "According to the plan, I'll handle the Second Herrscher."

Then, with a sigh, Fu Hua activated phoenix down. Its Will burning her memory but would temporarily restore her to her peak form, the same warrior who had stood strong 500 years ago.

Sirin, observing this, scoffed. Facing herself, the mere human dared be so arrogant?

But as Fu Hua launched her first attack, disbelief replaced the sneer.

A whirlwind of fists materialized, each strike carrying the echo of 500 years of honed battle prowess. Even if only a fraction managed to break through the barrier, the familiar sting of pain reminded Sirin of a something she'd long forgotten.

Skills, speed, strength – all crumbled before Fu Hua's relentless assault. Fear, a long-dormant emotion, flickered back to life within Sirin. Her once mighty form, the Herrscher of the Sky, became a fragile toy in Fu Hua's hands.

The final blow came in the form of Fu Hua's Taixu Sword God . The weapon pierced Sirin, silencing the arrogant Herrscher, now reduced to a whimpering child.

With Sirin subdued, Fu Hua and Otto enacted the next phase of their plan. Phoenix Down, activated. While Fu Hua kept Sirin's physical form at bay, Otto delved into the treacherous landscape of her mind.

There, he tried his best to induce Siren to resurrect her mother, but what came out was still just a empty body without soul, a empty shell.

"If... if it's a god..." Sirin murmured, her voice laced with despair and a strange uncertainty. Her legs gave way, collapsing beneath her.

god? Otto was shocked

Does God really exist?

What came next was a surprise But As long as he was with Kallen, Otto dared to face everything.

Even God is not an exception.

Otto stepped in front of the door of the Palace of Truth, where there was the so-called God, but he was worried that even God would not be able to respond to his wishes.

He wants to resurrect Kallen at all costs.

In the pure white space, Otto saw the so-called God. He had no body and was only half-kneeling with a cross.

But the moment he stood up, he transformed into Otto's figure.

Otto inhaled deeply, grab the Heavenly Fire Holy Seal that he had concealed behind his back.

The entity before him was a Honkai god, and its intentions were unknown. But Otto knew he couldn't afford to back down at this crucial moment.

Before he could pose his question, a flood of knowledge overwhelmed him. It was an accumulation of wisdom and understanding of all things, too vast for any mind to fully comprehend.

He kneeled on the ground with a pious expression.

"God," he implored, "how can I truly bring her back? Her name is Kallen."

Memories of his past mistakes surfaced in his mind, including his betrayals, lies, and sins.

Is this what Otto wants to know now? He stood up and asked anxiously,

Those sins and mistakes will be dealt with after his purpose is completed. No matter what is waiting for him, he will face it with a smile.

There was only one thing he wanted to know at this moment: how to resurrect Kallen!

The god responded with a smile, then picked up a sharp blade and plunged it into his own neck.

Otto wanted to stop him, but he had returned to reality the next moment, leaving only the last scene in his mind.

"God... what does it mean?"

...

In the golden courtyard,

The heroes and warriors were still discussing the plot at first.

Suddenly, Elysia's eyes lit up as she watched Fu Hua's impressive performance.

"Wow! Fu Hua is incredible! Come here, let me give you a hug!" she exclaimed. With that, she lunged at Fu Hua like a hungry tiger leaping towards its prey.

Hua had no choice but to catch Elysia's plump body, a body completely different from her own.

"Me after 50,000 years? It's a wonderful feeling." Hua said in surprise,

She never thought that she could be so amazing and become the person everyone expected. It turns out that she can do it too.

"Hua's strength has indeed become much stronger." Kalpas said it coldly as he watched this scene.

Mobius, who had always been rather harsh towards Kalpas, couldn't resist adding her own jibe. "If this were the pre-civilization era, you might have been demoted a rank," she mocked.

Kalpas retorted with a sneer, "Haha, I'm not sure about being demoted, but you will definitely be the one to step back."

The ranking within the Flame-Chasers is not solely based on strength. This statement is both true and false. It would be more accurate to say that while strength isn't the only factor, it is indeed the primary one.

Mobius, with his eyes wide and a smile playing on her lips, asked, "What are you implying?" She laughed off the insinuation, saying, "I'm just a harmless scientist. Isn't it normal for me to lack physical strength?"

Kalpas chuckled but said nothing more. He acknowledged Hua's strength, but his eyes hinted at something else. It seemed that the Herrscher on the other side had something intriguing to offer!

Vill-V, taken aback by the Plot, exclaimed, "The Herrscher is connected to the consciousness of the gods? This is news to me, Mobius. You wouldn't happen to be behind this, would you?"

Her first instinct was to pin the blame on Mobius.

Mobius, with a twitch at the corner of her mouth, gently touched her cheek and addressed everyone present.

In a sweet voice, she said, "Oh, it's true. But don't assume that if there's any issue, it's always 'Mobius' doing. BUT It's been such a long time! Don't point fingers at me. Isn't Someone girlfriend is a more likely suspect?"

All eyes turned to Kevin, who remained silent. He shook his head, and just when everyone thought he was agreeing, he said, "I don't know.

"I wasn't aware of what Mei did."

He stopped explaining and continued to observe the picture. He was curious. Was this the other party's plan all along? Was his encounter with Kallen what he had anticipated?

When Otto personally raised the question about resurrection from the dead, all of the Flame-Chasers were taken aback, even though they had expected it.

"Resurrection? How is that possible?"

The concept of resurrection is a taboo and a cornerstone of the world's rules. It's something that people ponder, but no one actually practices. It's forbidden and will always remain so.

But what if the one who answers is the so-called god?

All members of the Flame-Chasers turned their attention to the screen, their eyes filled with anticipation, eager to see if the answer matched their expectations.

But the scene of the god stabbing himself with a sharp blade made everyone feel relieved, and they began to think about what this meant.

Even Mobius and Vill-V couldn't help but frown at the unfolding scene. Elysia, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice, asked, "Does one life equate to another?"

Mobius, visibly anxious, scratched her hair and said, "But how can we change it? It's not as if we can barter our soul just by asking."

She felt as though the truth was within her grasp, yet there was a small piece missing.

She felt that the truth was right in front of her, but it was just a little bit missing.

Elysia responded, "Just keep watching, Dr. Mobius. In the main storyline, doesn't he already have a so-called plan?"

Mobius fell silent, her gaze fixed on Elysia. Her eyes held a slightly intimidating look.

"How could I admit that I am not good enough?" she mused aloud, continuing to scratch her hair in thought.

Elysia considered recommending a shampoo to protect Mobius's hair. However, upon reflection, she remembered that Mobius didn't seem to need it, so she swallowed her words before they could escape her lips.
