【During this time, you also successfully broke through to the 500,000 Volt realm, reaching the Anti-Gravitational stage. Your physical body could now traverse the void of space without any consumption of energy.】

【During the not-so-long wait that followed, the Honkai energy readings from the far side of the moon spiked, rising with terrifying speed and intensity.】

【A colossal female figure materialized in the void, coalescing from the surging Honkai energy.】

【You gazed upon that massive form. While she was smaller than the version that haunted your fragmented memories, you knew better.】

【…in your observation of destiny’s flow, this incarnation was undoubtedly more than a dozen times more powerful than the other.】

【Without a moment’s hesitation, you pushed your Magnetic Field Power to its absolute limit and charged. It was better to strike first than to be struck down.】

【The immense female figure merely cast a contemptuous glance in your direction, her expression that of a goddess observing an ant.】

【The Herrscher of Finality waved a hand forward. Immediately, the signature abilities of the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void, began to manifest around her.】

【A swarm of giant, ethereal Imaginary Hands and shimmering Imaginary Cubes materialized, surging toward you in a relentless assault.】

【In response, you directly entered the Quadruple War God state—a technique you had personally developed. Four distinct phantoms flickered into existence behind you.】

【They were all you. Phantoms born from the worlds you had once lived, the lives you had once experienced.】

【Because you were summoning extensions of yourself, the power of these phantoms was identical to your own, each one a master of 500,000 Volts.】

【Previously, they had been mere puppets, controlled by your singular consciousness. But this time, you found it was different.】

【In this critical moment, these figures were infused with souls. You felt it with absolute clarity.】

【The version of you clad as an adventurer drew the dagger from his waist. With a series of impossibly fast, precise slashes, he severed every Imaginary Hand and shattered every Imaginary Cube hurtling through space.】

【Another you, appearing as a weathered old farmer, manipulated his Magnetic Field Power to condense countless runes that filled the void, forming a shimmering, unbreakable barrier.】

【He blocked the subsequent shockwaves from the Herrscher’s attack, buying precious seconds for the others on the moon to react.】

【The version of you dressed in a kasaya, his entire form radiating a brilliant golden light, threw a massive palm strike. The golden hand, the size of a mountain, soared through the vacuum and slammed directly into the Herrscher of Finality’s face.】

【As the giant palm collided with her cheek, the impact on her colossal body would have created a deafening boom had there been air to carry the sound. In the silence of space, it was a purely kinetic spectacle of overwhelming force.】

【Yet another you, this one dressed as a simple student, suddenly flashed in front of the Herrscher. His fists became a blur, a torrential downpour of afterimages that hammered against her body, each strike causing faint, yet visible, ripples of energy to spread across her form.】

【All of this happened in a single, stunning instant.】

【The other MANTIS warriors, recovering from the initial shock, launched their own attacks in unison.】

【Kevin, wielding the Judgement of Shamash, ignited his power and entered the Might of An-Utu state. He became a comet of pure flame, streaking into the heavens and striking the Herrscher of Finality with devastating force.】

【Kalpas let out a furious, silent roar, unleashing his destructive energy without restraint. He summoned a massive pillar of rock from the lunar surface and smashed it down upon the enemy.】

【At this moment, every MANTIS had entered the special state of Active Reaction, pushing their abilities beyond their normal limits.】

【The Moonlight Throne, the orbital defense platform, had also finished its adjustments. Finding the perfect angle, it began to fire its main weapon, a continuous beam of energy that relentlessly evaporated the Honkai energy cloaking the Herrscher.】

【On Earth, humanity watched this scene unfold through satellite live broadcasts. A wave of exhilaration and hope swept across the globe.】

【The atmosphere was even more tense within the Sea of Quanta Frontline command center. Every eye was glued to a screen as analysts rapidly processed the data. Reports came in one after another: “Herrscher of Finality’s Honkai energy signature decreased by two percent… three percent…”】

【MEI was the most nervous of all. Staring at the screen, her heart sank as she saw the declining energy readings begin to slow, halt, and then slowly tick upward again.】

【”Vill-V!” she commanded into her comms. “Push the Moonlight Throne to maximum output! Now!”】and support the real translator.Read at elysianreads.com This is a stolen translation.

【Vill-V had been waiting for those very words. With a manic grin, she began to overload the weapon platform, pushing it far beyond its safety parameters.】

【You maintained your Quadruple War God state, acting as the primary shield and spear. You neutralized the Herrscher of Finality’s endless attacks while launching punishing offensives of your own.】

【You quickly discovered that this Herrscher was not the mindless beast you expected. Her attacks, while seemingly chaotic, were all aimed at the moon—specifically, she was targeting the trio who were preparing to infiltrate her very heart.】

【Down on the lunar surface, Pardo was enduring unimaginable pain. Her skin peeled away from her body, bit by agonizing bit, as she poured every last ounce of her strength into opening the door to the space between realities.】

【With a final, desperate roar, the gateway leading to the Cocoon of Finality finally tore open.】

【Elysia and Prometheus wasted no time, diving through the portal. The moment they were through, Pardo collapsed heavily onto the lunar dust, utterly exhausted.】

【Feeling the meager dregs of Honkai energy left in her body and the searing pain that wracked her, she looked up at the grand battle raging between the MANTIS warriors and the Herrscher of Finality.】

【Her gaze fell on you, a four-fold god of war holding back the apocalypse.】

【As you continuously blocked the Herrscher’s world-ending attacks, a faint smile touched her lips. ‘Guess you don’t get to see a blockbuster movie like this every day,’ she thought, a wave of lightheadedness washing over her.】

【Pardo was soon carried back to the lunar base by a unit of armed dolls to receive emergency treatment.】

【You watched the Herrscher of Finality before you. Suddenly, her massive body trembled, her movements faltering as she fell into a brief state of distraction.】

【’Elysia must have succeeded,’ you thought, a surge of triumph rising within you. But you were happy too soon. The Herrscher completely abandoned all pretense of defense, gathering every iota of her terrifying power.】

【A horrifying concentration of energy began to warp the very fabric of space around her. You saw her target—the beautiful, fragile blue planet hanging in the distance—and charged right into the heart of her energy fluctuations.】

【You absolutely could not let her unleash that attack.】

【In that final moment, you pushed your Magnetic Field Power beyond its limits. Your Quadruple War God state burned away not just your energy, but your very lifespan, your unwavering resolve fueling the blaze. You charged forward, fists first. The Herrscher of Finality, as if in response to your challenge, detonated her accumulated Honkai energy with everything she had.】

【The collision of your two energies did not result in a simple explosion. It tore a wound in the cosmos, a black hole-like portal that erupted with an irresistible suction force. It swallowed you whole in an instant.】

【Then, the portal snapped shut. The massive form of the Herrscher of Finality began to disintegrate, flaking away into nothingness.】

【From that illusory space she had guarded, a different door opened. Elysia, dressed in magnificent, flowing clothes, and Prometheus, in her small pink dress, flew out.】

【The moment Elysia emerged, she began to scan the battlefield, her eyes searching. She saw the grief etched on the faces of the surviving warriors, but she could not find you anywhere.】

【Elysia’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. A terrible, cold premonition seized her. She took a deep, shuddering breath, forcing herself to adjust, telling herself she must not break down. She had to be strong.】

【At that same moment, in the Sea of Quanta Frontline, some of the hardened personnel finally broke, bursting into tears.】

【After you were pulled through that tear in reality, you did not die.】

【When you awoke, you found yourself floating in the silent abyss of outer space. You could feel that your body was broken, shattered, pushed to its absolute limit.】

【Just as you were preparing to assess your situation…】

【…you discovered a swarm of insects blotting out the stars. And among that colossal swarm, a horror the size of a planet drifted silently—a Swarm King.】

【Having just woken from a battle for one world’s survival, you found an overwhelming tide of monstrosities attacking both you and a nearby, water-blue habitable planet.】

【On that planet, you could just make out figures dressed in ancient, flowing clothing, wielding weapons that seemed to blend tradition with advanced technology. They were fighting a desperate, losing battle against the swarm invading their home.】

【You felt for the flickering embers of your remaining lifespan. Even if you survived this, there wasn’t much time left, and you had no idea if you could ever break through to the next world of power.】

【You looked from your broken body to the planet-sized insect, and then to the endless, ravenous swarm that filled the void.】You're reading this on the wrong site.
