The moon, once the center of the Stigmata terminal ruins.
A robot named Durandal was calculating the fate trajectory of this era.
She had many opportunities to leave the moon, but due to the fluctuations of fate, Bia still found herself going in circles, remaining on the moon.
She followed Chen Ran's instructions, observing every Herrscher, hoping to find the ultimate route to counter Honkai.
But the current situation was dire.
Honkai remained active above this civilization.
Even with the emergence of multiple Herrschers, the active concentration never ceased.
Bia knew that the full domain connection had succeeded.
As humanity bridged the dimensions of the past and future, the active concentration of Honkai surged.
"I really don't know what to do now."
"Do I really have to support Kevin's Project Stigma?"
Bia frowned.
After Kevin emerged from the Sea of Quanta, he came to Earth to find Bia.
He hoped Bia could support Project Stigma, but Bia refused, saying that the execution of Project Stigma would not lead to the civilization that Chen Ran desired.
Chen Ran was a fundamentalist humanist.
Even though he had already integrated multiple Stigmata genes.
After Bia rejected Kevin, he did not forcibly take her away.
After all, for Kevin, Bia's refusal was expected; he was merely trying his luck.
Later, Kevin hoped Bia could provide a beacon.
A beacon that would project the entire world into the Sea of Quanta after Finality descends.
Bia agreed.
For Bia, detecting a beacon was not a difficult task.
However, at that time, she was curious; did Kevin still hold an extremely pessimistic view of the world?
Otherwise, why would he stubbornly initiate Project Stigma?
But now, Bia could probably understand.
The current level of active Honkai Energy was nearing the threshold before the arrival of Finality in the previous life.
And humanity still had no way to overcome Finality.
She felt a bit dejected.
"Do I have to start the next era? But how do I find the Kindling for the next era?"
Bia was not MEI after all.
So, she couldn't do what MEI could, formulating multiple plans to sustain the entire civilization. If anyone was most likely to become the Kindling, it would have to be the Herrschers of this era.
Just as Bia's mind began to blank while pondering something, a familiar voice came.
"Hi, Bia, long time no see."
Elysia smiled brightly, "Have you missed me during this time?"
Bia: "No, not at all."
"Oh dear, you're making me quite sad."
Elysia pretended to sigh, "So, I'll allow you to reorganize your words and say that you miss me."
Bia: "…"
She said, "If there's nothing else, I need to get to work, Elysia."
"Hmm, don't be so heartless. What if I said I could help Chen Ran?"
Bia's calm demeanor suddenly became agitated: "Where is he?"
"He's preparing for the final battle."
Elysia didn't hide it, saying, "Haven't you always wondered why Chen Ran disappeared after Finality arrived? It's actually for today."
"Multiple traversals were made to connect Honkai and consciousness in the same dimension, thus creating a battlefield where humanity and Honkai can compete equally."
"Bia, you might not know, but everyone has been waiting for this day."
Elysia's words left Bia astonished: "Everyone?"
"Yes, that's right, everyone."
She said, "I met MEI a few years ago. It was just in a world bubble; she has been waiting for this day for far too long."
…
…
After Elysia left Taixuan Mountain, Wendy was at a loss when she saw an unexpected visitor at Taixuan Mountain.
To be precise, it was Raven.
"Hi, we meet again."
Raven's voice carried a hint of helplessness as she said, "I feel like we've been meeting a bit too often lately, but what can I do? I'm just a poor worker, after all."
Wendy ignored Raven's self-pity and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's the Lord who sent me, but to be precise, it's Elysia's intention."
She glanced at Herrscher of Sentience and Fu Hua, not hiding the truth: "Elysia said that once the Herrscher of Sentience appears, it means that one thing can be done."
"Connecting everyone's consciousness in one place to construct a battlefield between humanity and Honkai. This is the complete Project Stigma."
"And this plan will not come at the cost of sacrificing billions of lives, but rather by merging with the terminal where the entire domain connects, allowing the two eras to converge."
"I only just learned that the people of the previous civilization era have been waiting for this day, having experienced 666 cycles of fifty thousand years."
Raven's words left Wendy in shock.
And this was within her expectations.
"Surprised? I was also very surprised when I received this news."
She paused and said, "But to defeat Finality, this is a necessary sacrifice we must endure. To be precise, the previous 665 times were merely adjustments, and this time is the moment to determine victory or defeat."
"Deconstructing the time of the two eras and overlapping them, the power that erupts is enough to ignite the entire Imaginary Tree."
The answer was already clear; the time-traveling system was the masterpiece of MEI, Vill-V, and others.
If what the people of the previous civilization era pursued was merely coexisting with Honkai.
Then in that era, perhaps Chen Ran would appear, but there would definitely be no time-traveling system.
However, humanity's unwillingness to accept this ambition began to drag the world into a fate circle known as the Mobius strip.
"If Project Stigma is a plan destined to fail."
"Then what we are about to accomplish next is a feat that all civilizations cannot reach."
Although the content of her words was somewhat impassioned, Raven still seemed a bit weak.
The Herrscher of Sentience finally spoke up: "What? I don't understand at all."
"What exactly does Kevin want to do?"
Due to Fu Hua's memories, the Herrscher of Sentience naturally knew Kevin.
However, Raven emphasized, "It's not about what Kevin wants to do, it's about what the people of that era want to do."
At the same time.
On the moon.
When Bia finished listening to the entire backstory from Elysia, she couldn't help but show a look of astonishment: "So, including time travel, all of this was a pre-calculated program."
"Exactly, the Honkai Armament 666 is Vill-V's work. How about it? Doesn't it have Vill-V's personal style?"
Elysia paused and said, "To be honest, I was involved too."
"You?"
At this moment, Bia transformed into her ELF form, staring wide-eyed at Elysia.
"Yeah, after all, I am the Herrscher of Origin."
"If it weren't for the power of Origin, how could I deal with Finality?"
Bia immediately understood.
"So, every time Chen Ran traverses, it's actually you providing a certain anchor point in future time. He's using your power to do it, right?"
"Only you have the authority and ability to dictate fate."
"But why are you doing this?"
She didn't understand: "If there's no Honkai, then you would soon dissipate, right?"
Elysia: "Because I've always liked everyone."
She said, "This world created me, not Honkai itself."
"Hmm, at this stage, Chen Ran has already begun to simulate the power of Finality, but if there's no Origin as Kindling, how can we ignite the torch of the Imaginary Tree?"
"So next, I need Bia to help me one more time."
Elysia's casually stated reason left Bia in silence.
If someone else said they loved everyone as an excuse, Bia would definitely think that person was lying.
There must be another purpose, something hidden.
But if it's Elysia saying it, Bia would believe it.
She said, "What do I need to do?"
"Of course, use your super advanced brain to calculate the space where Project Stigma is located and communicate with the entire domain. Project Stigma has relied on the power of Finality from the very beginning, connecting human consciousness with Finality, and the power that erupts is enough to create a new Finality."
"When the time comes, relying on the power of Finality, we will ignite the Kindling of the virtual."
"Then, our story will reach its conclusion."
Bia fell silent.
Elysia continued to speak to herself: "Alright, do you think it's difficult? Don't worry, we have another world helping us, in a world bubble in the Sea of Quanta, which was separated by the original Final Herrscher. All the work has already been completed there."
…
…
On the other side of the moon is another moon.
If an astronomer were here, they would surely find this conclusion baffling.
This is inevitable, after all, how could there be another moon on the other side of the moon?
However, if it were in the Sea of Quanta, which lies between the 3D and 4D, another moon is also in operation.
The world separated by Finality has turned into a new world bubble, which is the last remnant of Kindling for humanity.
And this Kindling was named [Origin] by MEI.
On the moon, in the New Atlantis region.
In the first research institute, Klein was working.
She had lost track of how long she had been working; in the Sea of Quanta, there is no concept of time, and naturally, there is no life or death.
The entire world only has two concepts: existence or Destruction. Before the world bubble faces Destruction, they will never grow old or die.
"Detected a reaction from the intrinsic world; a trajectory resembling Finality has appeared on the anchored timeline."
Klein's voice carried a hint of excitement as she said to MEI: "Dr. MEI, we are about to succeed."
"Yes."
MEI's eyes held a hint of tranquility.
She said, "I also received news from Elysia; our final mission is finally coming to an end."
"Ending? That's quite unfamiliar."
This Klein was not ELFKlein.
To be precise, the original Chen Ran ultimately changed some tragedies.
Although these changes were somewhat insignificant in the face of Finality's ultimate arrival.
She said, "During this time, Chen Ran must have had a hard time."
MEI shook her head: "This is also an unavoidable sacrifice. Among everyone, only Chen Ran has experienced a traversal; he is the only candidate for this plan, and no one can replace him."
"To prevent him from losing himself in endless cycles, his memories are recorded and deleted by the system after each traversal."
"But the hardest part is Elysia; no one knows what her feelings are after experiencing countless traversals."
Klein let out a slight sigh.
Although sighing in a world bubble has no meaning.
She asked Dr. MEI: "What about you, Doctor?"
"After such a long time, have you found all the parallel truths you mentioned?"
"Of course not," MEI said matter-of-factly. "That is not a field that normal people can touch; to be precise, it does not belong to the knowledge that life in this dimension can normally absorb."
"Although I can communicate with the will overseer through it, the dimensional difference prevents me from having an equal dialogue with it."
She didn't hide it, saying: "I once regarded every star as an enemy, but now I realize I was wrong."
"They are merely disguises of the enemy."
"Unfortunately, the limitation of life lies here; our existence is only a single opportunity to create a miracle."
Klein tilted her head: "Miracle? That's really not something the doctor would say."
"I thought the rational doctor wouldn't believe in such things."
MEI chuckled softly: "So-called miracles are just the product of countless probabilities. But after so many years of trial and error, these probabilities have approached Infinite close to 1."
"When humanity truly masters the power of Finality, it will be the time for us to raise the horn and counterattack."
——
When Chen Ran emerged from the full domain connection, his face was pale to the point of being terrifying.
Durandal said, "This is the power of Finality, Chen Ran, you are still pushing yourself too hard."
"Don't talk about me; let's see how Seele is doing?"
Chen Ran hurriedly asked Bia to check Seele's condition.
But he saw Seele, who was wearing terminal equipment, slightly changing her body.
Seeing this, Nuwa, who had broken free from the terminal equipment, was taken aback: "What's going on? Seele is starting to quantumize."
"Bia, quickly use the Honkai Cube."
Bia hesitated: "But if we do this, there will be a risk of Herrscherization on Seele."
"Herrscherization is much better than quantumization."
Seeing Chen Ran's insistence, Bia naturally wouldn't be negligent.
Fortunately, they were conducting experiments in the first research institute, and the Honkai Cube, being the most common material, was naturally in abundance.
Soon, Seele's body stabilized.
However, Chen Ran and Nuwa noticed that her pupils had turned crimson again.
It was another 'Seele'.
"Ah, how wonderful, is this the power of Finality?"
'Seele' looked at Chen Ran: "How nice, I seem to understand everything."
Nuwa quickly asked, "Wait, Seele, what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, I have always been clear about my grudges and will not do anything to you."
'Seele' directly ignored Nuwa and instead looked at Chen Ran: "And you are different. Let me think, how should I deal with you?"
Chen Ran: "Are you currently standing with Seele, or with Honkai?"
He didn't seem surprised by Seele's current situation.
When simulating the power of Finality through Bia, he had already envisioned the possible changes in Seele.
The most likely scenario was that she would stand once again on the side of Honkai.
After all, Seele was a Herrscher.
It was only natural for a Herrscher to stand on the same side as Honkai.
Thus, he naturally had other means.
"Doctor, I need to trouble you."
"What?"
Before 'Seele' could react, a flash of lightning flickered, leaving her body numb.
Mobius, stretching lazily, said, "What a hassle, is there anything that can't be discussed properly? Don't you think so, lab rat?"
'Seele's' brain flashed with dangerous warning signals.
Although it wasn't her first time interacting with Mobius, she could still feel that the person before her was extremely dangerous.
Chen Ran paused and said, "This is the First Research Institute, which has an anti-Honkai force field installed. You wouldn't want to experience that."
"Don't worry, as a Herrscher who can control her emotions, I won't do anything to you. Seele, at least until now, we've been getting along quite well, haven't we?"
'Seele', however, was enraged and intended to strike directly.
But suddenly, she felt her body stiffen.
"Herrscher Core, what have you done?"
Mobius smiled sweetly: "Hmm, nothing much, just implanted a little bomb when I inserted the Stigmata earlier."
She didn't hide her methods: "You could try using your quantum abilities, but just to mention, this bomb is directly embedded in the Stigmata, following you like a shadow."
'Seele' was left speechless.
Her biological instincts told her that it was best not to resist.
Mobius didn't pay attention to 'Seele'.
Just a Herrscher, after all. Although the threat posed by a Herrscher was significant, it wasn't enough for Mobius to take it to heart.
She looked at Bia: "Give me the data."
Bia immediately protested: "Are you going to mess with me again?"
"Hmph, if you didn't have those resources, why would I bother with you?"
Bia felt bitter.
She had several very good 'resources', but because Mobius always checked her hard drive with suspicion, many of those resources had been exposed and lost.
And because she had been caught several times copying and hiding resources, Mobius had developed a habit of 'regularly checking her body'.
Mobius smiled wickedly: "Checking your body is for your own good."
"What if you get a virus?"
Bia trembled.
Nuwa, on the side, let out a slight sigh of relief and then said to Chen Ran: "Is it really okay for Seele to be like this now?"
"If there are problems, we can't afford to worry about them."
Chen Ran paused and said, "There are more things we need to prepare for next."
After obtaining the calculations for the power of Finality, the next steps became evident.
Creating the Finality of humanity.
And to achieve this goal, he needed to do another thing.
Finality requires a qualified Finality host.
And there was only one qualified Finality host.
Bianka.Durandal.Ataegina.
