Watching movies on Bengbu, you guys are a bit too normal.

But in the end, it was Kevin who took over the plan.

This plan will require many sacrifices, but Kevin is willing to bear the burden of this plan, this necessary sin.

After all, he had long been accustomed to bearing the burden, to shouldering the sacrifices of everyone.

Earth needs to move forward.

As Su finished speaking, a certain heroic memory in Paradise put down his cup and smiled slightly.

"It seems that the real her did not change her mind at the last moment of the era."

"Kevin, what's going on?!"

He rushed into his friend's room without even knocking. His friend simply put down his greatsword and quietly looked up at his flustered figure.

"Kevin, why was the 'Stigmata Project,' originally intended for me, handed over to you instead?"

"It was my suggestion."

"Project Stigmata... This research, jointly led by May and Mebius, is the most brutal of all projects and will bring the most sacrifices."

"Although it aligns with your research area, in that sense... it's actually the least compatible with you."

"But it's the same for you! You always blame yourself for the irreversible sacrifices, bearing everything alone..."

"But I know you've always been in pain inside, and you didn't want to see those sacrifices, did you?"

Even so, I can only move forward.

“I have already chosen this path, there is no need for you to also stifle your own heart.”

"This road is enough for me to walk alone."

He stared blankly at his friend's lowered eyes, a strange ripple flickering beneath the calm surface, a mixture of resolute determination and sorrow.

There was a familiar figure there. This made his heart skip a beat.

"...No. I won't leave you alone."

"The new project Mei gave me—'Project Hengsha'—aims to find a solution by observing other parallel worlds."

"If I can find the answer here, you won't need to initiate the 'Stigmata Project.' After all, it's only a last resort, not something we absolutely need."

"I won't let you do such a cruel thing. I'll be with you until the very end."

His friend looked up at him with some surprise, and he returned the look with a firm gaze. After a moment, his friend blinked, looked away, and whispered his thanks.

Unlike before, this time my friend's voice carried a touch of warmth and weight.

To truly transcend the collapse is to transcend this eternal cycle.

Before that one and only answer appeared, he never realized where to find that answer.

Sue was always his best friend.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for a thousand years since that battle, he only needed to know that Su was not dead, and that was enough.

The fourteenth Honkai, also known as the final battle.

An hour before the end came, Kevin made everyone make a promise.

If anyone manages to return alive, May's plan must be carried out.

He believed that the hope of permanently ending the collapse lay within it.

As the final battle unfolds on the moon, everyone discovers that the power of the Herrscher of the End is beyond anyone's imagination.

In this battle, they sent out a total of eight of their strongest warriors, but two of them were killed in action within just five minutes of the battle starting.

The Moon Throne caused the Herrscher of the End to lose 30% of its energy. Kevin's all-out attack only bought humanity twelve hours, a mere half a day.

It took them eight hours to evacuate from the moon.

But upon returning to base, Kevin was confronted with May's corpse, a letter, and a child.

In the letter, May told him that this was a child conceived using their DNA, and that she had modified his genes so that, as the child grew up, his body temperature would be no different from that of a normal person.

The gap in power is truly despairing.

No matter how cruel it may be, this is reality.

In the previous civilization, they had no chance of surviving the end.

She gazed at the figure that resembled her own, her eyes filled with seriousness.

In the future revealed by the light curtain, I became the Herrscher of the End. What exactly was the process like?

Chapter 172 A Microcosm of an Era

Before the final moment arrived, Kevin and the other executors of the plan entered hibernation pods under Mebius's arrangement.

But Kevin discovered that one person had not yet arrived.

Eden was the original executor of Project Fire.

“The hibernation pod is ready,” Möbius said to the people in the room, looking away from the screen.

"Understood," Hua replied.

Kevin looked around the room.

"Where's Eden?"

“Eden…she’s probably outside,” Möbius said.

“I’ll go and call her back.” Kevin started walking towards the door.

“No,” Möbius said, “I’ll go and call him…”

Outside the base, a record player played music intently, seemingly unaware that this era had already passed.

But as she watched Eden slowly walk toward the boundless wasteland, she suddenly understood what "annihilation" meant.

The song of Eden belongs to this era; Eden belongs to this era.

Eden—she is the epitome of this era.

But now this song is heading towards death, towards the end of the world.

This beautiful song is now being played for the last time in this world.

Oh, my love, may we never be apart.

Oh, my love, may time stand still at this moment...?

This heavenly sound will never be heard again.

Möbius, as the last spectator, listened to the final swan song of this civilization.

On March 7th, I listened to the song of Eden, and it had been brewing for a long time.

Finally, he managed to squeeze out this sentence.

The robin listened intently to Eden's song, the final swan song of that era.

On that desolate and vast land, the song was neither sorrowful nor desperate. Instead, it shone as brightly as that graceful figure.

In that song, she seemed to hear a glorious era, a dazzling era.

Since that fish left, she, a romantic demigod, has been unable to appreciate the performances of other singers or savor the beauty of other musical pieces.

But the singing of this Miss Eden was able to reach her heart, reminding her of that glorious era and those unforgettable old friends.

The song that symbolizes an era is truly beautiful.

The "Spark Project" had already been handed over to Hua by Eden after the thirteenth Honkai.

"I know. But... why me?"

"Yes, I understand... Even in the graveyard, history is still manipulating our fate."

What people call "experience" is actually also a kind of "prophecy."

"That's why Dr. Mei believes I'm the most suitable person to carry out the 'Spark Project.'"

"But I know that's not the case."

In Eden's gently swirling wine glass, there was a sprig of white and green bison grass.

This was her first time trying this unique spirit, but after just one sip, she knew it wasn't for her.

And the reason she's sitting here today is the same.

"Hua, the 'Spark Project' may seem to be about passing on the past to people... passing on the knowledge of our time, but in essence, it is still about pioneering a brand new era."

"And I... my era is right here. My stage is right here."

No matter how bright the future may be, it is not where I should go. There will be no place for me there.

As for this body, which is merely a remnant, it will only wait until the near future to cast that starlight belonging to the past into the true future.

A microcosm of an era, a singer of an era, she died along with this era on the desolate land.

Inside the hibernation pod, Kevin, carrying the sacrifices of everyone at that birthday party, gradually fell silent.

Mei, Cherry, Desdobia, Kosmo, Mebius, Aponia, Scar... Alicia.

Everyone has left.

Only he drifted further and further away.

When the hero awakens and discovers that only Su and Hua remain of his friends who have journeyed through ten thousand years with him in the hibernation pod, what will he think?

Or perhaps, he knows everything.

That singer, a microcosm of the era, chose to fade away with the era.

Her farewell song to the era on that desolate and vast land also reached his ears.

Oh, my love, may we never be apart.

Oh, my love, may time stand still at this moment...?

May this world...

She enjoys taking photos to commemorate the experiences she and her partners had shared.

She has photographed many unique landscapes and cultures of various planets, but most of her photos are group photos with her companions.

It's really hard to watch your old friends in photos leave one by one, and walk alone into the distant future.

Chapter 173 Mei's Last Wish

Time flies, and fifty thousand years have passed. The civilization of the old humans has turned into yellow sand.

On this land, a new human race was born.

As civilization progressed, they once again faced the threat of collapse. And then, what appeared before humanity was…

A white-haired warrior holding a flaming greatsword in his left hand and a baby in his right.

This woman, who calls herself Kaslana, will bring new hope to this era.

[Late 5th century AD, the British Isles]

"Help!"

In the woods, several boys were running for their lives.

Because behind them, several Honkai Beasts were chasing them.

"Whoa!" Suddenly, one of the boys tripped over a stone and fell, while the Honkai Beast gradually approached him. He closed his eyes in fear.

"Ah, no!"

After a loud bang, the expected attack did not occur.

"Huh...?" He slowly opened his eyes, looking incredulously at the disappearing Honkai Beast in front of him. Just then, a gentle voice sounded beside him.

"Don't be afraid, you are safe now."

The boy turned his head away.

But when he saw Sue beside him, his eyes widened immediately.
