[Four meteors streaked through the atmosphere, landing in the Mariana Trench, Moscow, and Los Angeles respectively. The location of the final meteor was not confirmed. Global casualties exceeded ten million, causing worldwide panic.
The movie's pacing was tight, but it dedicated a specific shot to a young mother with purple hair, hugging her young daughter tightly as she watched the announcements on a large city screen with a worried expression.
In the three days following the meteor impacts, Siegfried repeatedly requested an audience with Otto, only to be met with Amber's cold refusals. Faced with Otto's inaction, Siegfried could do nothing but burn with helpless anger.
Rage filled his mind, preventing him from thinking clearly. Siegfried stormed into Welt's sickroom, demanding to know if he was just going to sit back and wait for death, only to be told that Anti-Entropy had already launched a counterattack.
The Silver Bullet couldn't hit a Herrscher with spatial abilities, and a long-range detonation would be disabled by a large-scale electromagnetic pulse, turning it into space junk.
Tesla and Welt suspected that Sirin had obtained new powers on the moon and was also learning how to use them.]
The disaster special effects, a joint effort by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, stunned every member of the audience. The incredibly realistic scenes were breathtaking, breaking the barrier between animation and reality, leaving people in awe and a little afraid.
"Using meteors to attack, that's so cool," Kevin praised, his eyes shining.
"Cool!" Kosma echoed.
"Now that's more like it," Kalpas nodded. "This is what an enemy of humanity should be like."
"Forget the Herrscher for a moment. I'm more curious about the Previous Era. If they already had the power to seal a god, how exactly did they perish?" MEI said.
Everything shown in the story so far spoke of the Previous Era's power and prosperity: the Star of Eden that could create black holes, the Oath of Judah that could lock onto targets from extreme distances, and the equally famous Might of An-Utu.
In response to MEI's curiosity, Yàqīng looked at Kevin and smiled. "Kevin, tell me, why do birds fly?"
"What?" Kevin was taken aback.
"Hah." Mobius gave a disdainful snort and said sarcastically, "Yàqīng, you're really regressing. To think such a simple question would come from you. Birds fly because their bones are filled with pores, making them light yet strong. At the same time, birds..."
"I wasn't asking you, Senior Mobius." Yàqīng looked at Kevin and repeated, "Kevin, why do birds fly?"
Kevin's mind went blank. He answered instinctively, "Because they must fly to the sky."
"When the final meteor fell in the Cretaceous period, only the free birds could escape the preordained extinction," Yàqqing said. "And that is a microcosm of the Previous Era."
"Are you saying the Previous Era was destroyed by Herrschers?"
"The Previous Era was destroyed by humanity," Yàqīng said in a low voice.
Only Elysia heard him clearly.
[On the moon, Sirin bestowed a pseudo-Herrscher of Thunder core upon Benares, granting it sentience and elevating it from a Honkai Beast to a pseudo-Herrscher. The massive body of the dragon-like Honkai Beast transformed into the form of a young girl. This was the source of the abnormal electromagnetic pulse that Anti-Entropy had been investigating.
Bella, having just taken human form, was very confused as to why Sirin had stopped her attacks on humanity and was instead defending the moon.
"Are you questioning me, Bella?" Sirin turned her head, her golden eyes indifferent.
Bella was frightened and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Sirin.
Sirin walked over to Bella, crouched down, and caressed her cheek. The reason she gave was that humans were like ants; they couldn't be dealt with just by throwing a few meteors. Moreover, humans were treacherous and cunning, and Sirin admitted that she had lost due to human cunning.
Sirin discovered that the lunar ruins were inscribed with a vast amount of knowledge from the Previous Era, including knowledge related to Herrschers. She wanted to study this knowledge to better master her Herrscher powers.
"By the way, Bella, come help me with something."
Sirin lifted Bella's chin, her pretty face leaning closer and closer.]
Bella, who was watching the movie, blushed silently.
"Bella, your character model is quite pretty," Sirin said, casually patting Bella's smooth back. "But you don't seem very bright, nowhere near as smart as me."
Hearing Sirin's praise, Bella's face turned even redder, and steam seemed to rise from her grayish-white hair.
"Alright, stop teasing Bella." Seeing that Bella was about to faint from embarrassment, Cecilia suppressed a laugh and separated the two. She had long seen that Sirin was deliberately teasing Bella.
Sirin made a funny face.
Cecilia ruffled Sirin's soft purple hair, feeling a little curious herself. Her brother rarely saw Sirin anymore, so how did he know about the little dynamics between Sirin and Bella?
Siegfried, the manly man, shed a tear. He wondered what sins he had committed in his past life to have three daughters and no heir...
"My Queen..." A dazed Bella, unable to distinguish between reality and voice acting, subconsciously called out.
This time, it was Sirin's turn to blush. She hurriedly said, "Hey, Bella, stop using that embarrassing title! We're just good friends, not some weird master-servant roleplay, okay!"
Realizing what she had done, Bella fainted completely.
Cecilia held Bella in her arms, a fond, motherly smile on her face.
[Dr. Tesla put down her phone, her expression stunned. Welt immediately noticed something was off with her. Upon questioning, Welt learned that ten minutes ago, Sirin had sent an electromagnetic wave signal to Earth.
"Come meet me on the moon, First Herrscher."
Sirin's voice was threatening. "If you don't come, I'll send four meteors to Earth every 72 hours. Don't make me wait too long~☆"
To protect the world, to protect humanity, even knowing he would be killed by the Second Herrscher, Welt still decided to go to the moon for the appointment. But before heading there, he wanted to have a conversation with Otto.
On February 9, 2000, in the Overseer's reception room at Babylon Tower, forty-five years after their parting in New York, Welt and Otto finally met again for a "friendly and cordial" exchange.
Based on the meteor's structure analyzed by Einstein, Welt believed that the technology Anti-Entropy had been searching for for years, the technology to seal Honkai energy, was in the ruins on the far side of the moon. Therefore, he had to go.
Otto found the plan interesting but far too risky. However, he had no interest in sealing Honkai energy. He wasn't worried about Welt's safety; in fact, he had always wanted him dead.
Welt looked sideways at Otto, his expression unreadable as he said something.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
"Hahahaha." Otto's laughter broke the silence. He completely changed his attitude, endorsing Welt's plan and ordering Siegfried to assist him with all his might.
Otto swirled the red wine in his glass.
"I never thought you would go this far to save the lives of those ants." Otto's tone was full of contempt for human life, his emerald eyes filled with amusement. "You truly are a worthy opponent. I apologize for my previous rudeness."
"The honorable... Welt the Second."]
"Otto."
Hearing Kallen's tone, Otto's heart skipped a beat.
"I don't like you like this, and I don't want you to become like the person in the movie."
Otto quickly pulled Kallen into a tight hug and comforted her softly.
Otto had successfully shifted Kallen's resentment from his on-screen character to Yàqīng.
