Chapter 53 - Chapter 53

[Himeko]: "Happy first birthday to Lady Herrscher of Sentience!"

[Herrscher of Sentience]: "Hey! You're the one-year-old here!"

[Himeko]: "How did you know I'm a one-year-old baby?"

[March 7th]: "Stop fooling around! We've arrived at the Xianzhou—show some spirit!"

[Fu Hua]: "Herrscher of Sentience... I understand now, Welt. You wanted my consciousness to temporarily leave my body so the Herrscher of Sentience could be born?"

[Honkai: Star Rail - Welt]: "Indeed. Compared to letting the Herrscher of Sentience emerge in some unknown place, I preferred this familiar version."

[Elysia]: "Welcome, lovely girl, to the chat group~"

[Kalpas]: "Hmph, a Herrscher? Let's fight!"

[Herrscher of Sentience]: "Gladly! Just wait—I'll head to the Elysian Realm right away. Unlike that fossil Fu Hua, I remember everything." [Ahem, now that we've finished watching the Second Eruption, what are your thoughts? This time, I'll switch to a video from another universe. This is balance!]

[The Equilibrium]: "Like!"

[March 7th]: "Our world's turn?"

[Aha]: "Hurry up and serve it! I can't wait any longer!"

[Now Playing: Kyoden: A Cleave Across the Transient World]

Do you still remember... Why Izumo forged blades? A hill of countless swords crumbled as steel clashed amidst blood and iron, the sounds of battle ringing all around. Amidst the ruins of a city, under torrential rain, a girl in white robes clutched a shattered blade, pressing a hand to her wounded arm as she left a trail of blood behind. Weakly, she answered the question echoing in the void: "Because long ago...

[Eight Million Gods] descended upon this world, slaughtering the innocent and wreaking havoc."

The girl lifted her head, as if reminiscing. Raindrops mixed with tears as they streamed down her face. "To save the world, Izumo shattered seventy thousand and thirty-three swords... And forged them into twelve revered blades—

[The Sentinel Blades]."

[Kiana]: "Mei? Is that you? Hehe, Mei looks even cuter with horns!"

[Raiden Mei]: "Kiana, I'm right here. The one in the video must be my counterpart... It seems she endured unimaginable suffering too."

[Ratio]: "Izumo? There are very few records of this planet in the cosmos."

[Acheron]: "This is... my homeland. Perhaps the extinction of civilizations is commonplace in the universe. Perhaps my people left barely any traces behind... But now, their history is laid bare before you. They resisted. They fought. They were never nothingness."

[Lord Ravager]: "Civilizations are the cancer of the universe. They deserve glorious destruction."

[March 7th]: "How can you say that? Miss Acheron is mourning her home, and you just pour salt on her wounds!"

[Sampo]: "That's just how the Annihilation Gang crazies are."

[A colossal blue blade descended from the heavens, piercing through a monstrous deity of the same hue. The first was [Truth], forged from [Tsumukari], allowing mortals to perceive all laws, deconstruct creation, and recreate miracles.]

[Void Archives]: "Hiss... Feels familiar. Not sure. Need to see more."

Welt took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on without a word.

[Above the sky, spatial rifts unfolded as dark golden claws reached down toward the earth. The second was [Sky], forged by slaying [Amenonuhoko], turning the heavens into walls that barred calamitous gods from traversing dimensions.]

[Herrscher of the Void]: "Hah? You monsters dare wield powers granted by God? You're stealing my moves!"

[Honkai Impact - Welt]: "This is getting even more similar."

[Theresa]: "Could there be Honkai in another world too?"

[Honkai: Star Rail - Welt]: "Let's... confirm more before jumping to conclusions."

[Amidst raging winds, a violet greatsword hovered midair, wreathed in lightning as if heralding its sovereign. It descended like judgment, piercing the skull of a leviathan rising from the sea.

The third was [Howl], summoning storms to rend the skies and mete divine punishment.]

[High atop the clouds, an azure longsword floated, its blade radiating feather-like gusts as tempests obeyed its will. The fourth was [Mist], commanding gales to sunder the earth and unleash unrelenting fury.]

[The scene shifted—an endless frozen tundra where a lone cherry tree stood. Embedded in ice was a katana seemingly forged from frost itself. The fifth was [Frost], where time stood still in eternal winter.][On one side lay a paradise brimming with life; on the other, a hellscape of corpses. Between them rested twin blades of black and white. The sixth was [Fate], where death and rebirth flowed in an unending cycle.]

[Honkai: Star Rail - Welt]: "Oh come on! Is Honkai seriously still chasing me?!"

[Himeko]: "Uncle Welt, at least in this chat group, Honkai's still just from another world!"

[Raven]: "That blade called 'Fate' looks and functions just like Seven Thunders of Retribution—though I usually use mine as a sniper rifle."

[Durandal]: "True. 'Fate's' abilities also resemble Abyss Flower's."

[Einstein]: "Deities and Herrschers... Honkai Beasts and demons. Even across infinite spacetime, such coincidences exist? Two civilizations so eerily alike."

[Mobius]: "Just coincidence. After dealing with Honkai energy for so long, I know what it looks like. Their energy isn't Honkai."

[Herta]: "If it were Honkai energy, I wouldn't have overlooked it."

[Acheron]: "My homeland wasn't ravaged by Honkai... But to me, it was a struggle far more brutal than any Honkai invasion."

[And then there were [Blaze], [Thought], [Root], [Form], [Binding], [Maw]. With these twelve Edict Blades... We grasped hope for tomorrow and claimed victory after victory! All wielders raised their blades high, crossing steel as they vowed to carve out a future for Izumo!]

[Kevin]: "Saving the world is never easy. Perhaps... you were just like us 50,000 years ago."

[Sakura]: "Divine Keys—or Edict Blades—couldn't save this world either?"

[Acheron]: "Even my memories of my homeland are fading... But at least this video ensures they won't be forgotten."

[Otto]: "From what I see, their civilization's fate mirrors not ours... but the Previous Era's. Not even seeds remained."

[Murata Himeko]: "If we fail... we might end up just like them. That's why we must never give up hope!"

[Herrscher of Sentience]: "Relax! You've got us! I can go toe-to-toe with Kevin! Add in old-timer Fu Hua, and even the Finality won't stand a chance!"

[Kevin]: "..."

[Elysia]: "Hehehe~ Such an adorable Herrscher of Sentience! Long live Lady Herrscher of Sentience!"
