Did the main characters enter the wrong game in their second playthrough?

……

Meanwhile, Kiana, back at Natasha's clinic, found a secluded spot and told Luminous what would happen after the Valkyrie advancement exam.

Kiana: "Nothing big will happen in St. Freya during the exam and for a week afterward, but after that, you'll face a major event!"

fluorescent:"!"

Upon hearing this, Ying's eyes widened instantly.

Finally... is the plot about to begin?!

Under her expectant gaze, Kiana recounted her story in detail:

"You, Mei, and Bronya will be on a mission to New Zealand to retrieve the Gem of Desire. The vessel for the Gem of Desire is a girl named Wendy."

Ying: "Wendy?"

The moment Ying heard the name, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

However, it only lasted for a moment. After all, the slacker was a male wind spirit, while this "Wendy" sounded like a girl!

Although... these two names seem to have no difference.

Kiana: "That's right, Wendy, she was already the Fourth Herrscher when you arrived in New Zealand."

"The power of the Fourth Herrscher is to create and manipulate ideal fluids, and outwardly, it manifests as the ability to control the wind."

fluorescent:"……"

Wendy... controls the wind...

Oh no, this sense of déjà vu is getting worse!

Ying: "So... next, we're going to fight the Fourth Herrscher?"

The next moment, Ying realized the seriousness of the problem!

That's a Herrscher! She hit a Herrscher? Really?

Even if she were to don the Valkyrie armor now, she couldn't defeat an A-rank class monitor, let alone a Herrscher, who can only be dealt with by an S-rank Valkyrie.

Kiana: "Um... how should I put it..."

Inside the clinic, Kiana recalled Wendy's behavior back then, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

Kiana: "When you went there, Wendy had not yet fully become a Herrscher. She was not yet proficient in controlling Herrscher powers and still retained some consciousness. To you, Wendy was not a real threat."

Ying: "The real threat is..."

Kiana: "Cocolia! That is... Anti-Entropy!"

Xing: "Goodness, what's going on with Cocolia and Uncle Yang?"

After diving for half a day, Xing finally surfaced and complained.

Kiana: "Uh...you still have the nerve to talk about Cocolia! Never mind, this Cocolia is the Cocolia from our place, and Anti-Entropy is indeed Teacher Yang's Anti-Entropy, but at this time, Anti-Entropy has been decentralized, and Cocolia also controls a portion of Anti-Entropy."

"In short! You will be ambushed by the Anti-Entropy forces at a crucial moment! You must prepare in advance, preferably..."

At this point, Kiana frowned.

In her memory, a figure with golden hair and a heroic bearing appeared.

Well, it seems she has to think of a solution as soon as possible. Maintaining the original storyline of the Honkai world is no longer possible. There is only one thing she needs to do now!

That is, before everything gets out of control, find a way to make Luna the "Herrscher of the Void" and fill the part she is missing.

And it must be done as soon as possible!

If the powers of the Herrscher of the Void are truly lost in the future, then everything that follows will become uncontrollable!

Chapter 52: The Cocoon of the End - Second Playthrough Tutorial

So, how do we make Luminous the Herrscher of the Void?

Actually, this isn't difficult, but next... we'll need to exploit a "bug" in the chat group.

However, before that, she still needed to explain to Ying in detail the "specific details" of their upcoming trip to New Zealand.

Kiana explained in detail to Ying how Bronya was manipulated by Cocolia and eventually betrayed her, and how Mei was also taken away by Cocolia.

And so, almost visibly, Ying began to panic...

Ying: "Huh!? Is that right?"

Xing: "Hmm, this is so messed up. In the next part of the plot, will Bronya regain her consciousness at a crucial moment and sacrifice herself to save everyone?"

Kiana: "Uh...more or less?"

Xing: "Ha! From now on, please call me Star Ellie!"

Ying: "So... should I tell everyone what's going to happen next?"

Ying expressed great concern about the seemingly bleak plot that was about to unfold.

Through this time together, Bronya and Mei have become inseparable companions. If something were to really happen to them...

With her current power, can she really save them?

Perhaps because she had tried her best in training but failed to defeat Fu Hua, Ying felt a sense of helplessness upon learning the original plot.

Kiana: "Let's not let them know for now. We have enough time to resolve this part of the story. If we tell them, it might attract interference from some forces in the shadows. As for what's to come... we need to act quickly."

At this moment, Kiana's consciousness was racing, and in the quiet clinic, the white-haired girl sitting alone was analyzing the connection between the two worlds.

Currently, the only channel they can use is chat groups.

Then the next goal is quite simple.

First, the simplest solution is to address Bronya's brain-computer interface problem.

All you need to do is go back to the train, find Teacher Yang, and ask him to help you make a device that can remove the interference from Bronya's biochip.

Secondly, there's the question of how to make Ying become the "Herrscher of the Void".

Therefore... she had a very bold idea!

In the Honkai world, the power of the Herrschers comes from the Cocoon of the End, and the so-called Herrscher Core is just a projection of the power of the Cocoon of the End. In fact, the true Herrscher Core is the Cocoon of the End.

After Kiana became the End, although she still did not know the origin of the cocoon, she was very familiar with the cocoon's operating mechanism.

During the timeline of Luminosity, the Herrscher of the Void had already "passed through" the Second Honkai Impact. During the Second Honkai Impact, Sirin perished, but the Herrscher of the Void's powers still remained.

However, if the Herrscher of the Void's powers dissipate into the world through "disappearance" rather than "recovery," it would be equivalent to losing a crucial key for the future "ending."

Kiana is the Herrscher of the Void who "disappeared into thin air." If the Cocoon loses its connection to the Herrscher of the Void's powers, then the future "End" will become an uncertain unknown, and it will be impossible to "clear" the game as before.

Since that's the case, then she should just let the "Herrscher of the Void" reappear!

She only needed to distribute a small portion of the Herrscher of the Void's power and store it through a "container." Then, she would hand over the container that "stored" the Herrscher of the Void's power to Luminous through a chat group, making Luminous a "suspected Herrscher of the Void" and allowing the Cocoon to re-establish a connection with the projection of the Herrscher of the Void's power.

In short, Kiana released her powers to help Luminous become a "fake Herrscher" with the powers of the Herrscher of the Void, thus fooling the Cocoon of the End.

This... is the wisdom left to her by the predecessors of the previous civilization!

However, there is another method when it comes to the previous civilization, but that method has too many uncertainties, and even she doesn't know where the Second Divine Key is now. Her final power is sealed, and she is not on Earth, so she naturally cannot make any deductions.

So, let's just go and fool the Cocoon of the End!

As long as we can stabilize the Cocoon of the End and prevent the self-awareness of the [Will of Honkai] from becoming too rampant, then everything else can be resolved gradually.

Now that we have a solution, let's...

We should find a way to implement it!

Kiana: "@Luminous, you need to prepare something next!"

Ying: "What preparations?"

Kiana: "It's nothing, it's just that there's a voice in your head that talks to you. Just ignore it."

fluorescent:"……"

Upon hearing this, Ying fell silent.

Is someone talking in her head? She knows this all too well...

Xing: "Is someone talking in my head? I know this all too well!"

fluorescent:"???"

Never mind, "I have nothing in common with Star Core Spirit.jpg"

After reminding Ying, Kiana immediately contacted the Star Train, which was in near-Earth orbit. To be precise...

She simply opened a portal and went back to the train.

At present, her control over the Herrscher of the Void can only be described as "as easy as using her own arm".

Dividing powers and responsibilities is naturally not a difficult task.

So she described the current problem to Walter.

At first, upon hearing that there was a problem with the Honkai world, Welt was instantly thrown into a panic. His hand holding the teacup trembled violently, and he almost spilled the milk tea inside.

But after hearing Kiana's solution, he regained his previous calm and composed demeanor.

It's alright now. I almost forgot that the Kiana in front of me wasn't the student who used to give me so many headaches, but the former "Goddess of Earth".

He didn't even offer much supplementary information regarding Kiana's proposed plan, which only shows that Kiana's considerations are truly thorough.

Not only did they take into account the many unstable factors in the current Honkai world, with various forces surging and many eyes on the matter, but they also chose a relatively discreet way to send the power back. In this way, as long as the little girl named Ying does not actively reveal her power, she will not be come knocking on the door by that blond scoundrel...

So... he subconsciously overlooked why Kiana hadn't raised these questions before.

She even put forward a very bold idea...

"Teacher Yang, do you think it's possible for me to place some of my powers into a controllable container? By simply using this container, I can gain some of the Herrscher of the Void's powers, and this container can only be connected to the [Bound User], and no one else can use it?"

To Kiana's audacious idea, Welt remained silent, merely adjusting his glasses that reflected a white light, and then...

Using the power of the Herrscher of Reason, a projection was created.

That was a... uh, a belt? It was exquisitely designed, and Walter even added some notes to it.

After catching a glimpse of the belt, Kiana blinked her azure eyes, and then…

Silently, he gave Walter a thumbs-up, whose lips unconsciously curled into a smile.
