[When Siegfried awoke, Cecilia was already gone.
No one remembered her ever being there—her smile, her tears, her face, her words—as if she had never existed at all.
"They all told me she was just a dream."
Siegfried retraced every place they had been together, but only lonely memories remained.
Not a single trace could fill the gaping hole in his chest.
He had once believed all he wanted was to live freely, yet he couldn't let go of his longing for her.
"Her smile still burns faintly in my heart, as if it could scorch the depths of my soul."
"My soul cannot endure a world without her."
"So… I want to see her!"
Clenching his fists, Siegfried made up his mind.]
[Elysia]:"Aww~ Choosing to abandon his carefree life for love—not drowning in memories but actively seeking her out—how wonderful!"
The pink fairy maiden didn't hold back her admiration for Siegfried!
Kevin, Otto, and Welt—the three champions of pure love—all gave their silent approval!
[Kiana]:"You better find Mom, you stupid old man!"
[Loki]: "Chase your love bravely! Don't let yourself regret it!" (TL/N : who?)
Thanks to the light screen, even across endless time, he could still reunite with his beloved.
He wished the same happiness for others.
[Two years later…
In a world where he was utterly alone, time seemed to lose all meaning.
Even during missions, the moment he closed his eyes, memories flooded back unbidden.
For two years, those two days replayed endlessly in his mind.
Cecilia, too, had spent countless nights wondering—what if she hadn't chosen to return with the Overseer?
Would things have been different?
But now, it didn't matter.
She had already gained something she would never forget.
"Cecilia!"
"It's time. You're up."
Theresa mysteriously took Cecilia's hand and led her to a room.
*"Don't worry. It's fine."*
With a smile, Theresa gently pushed Cecilia inside.
*"What's wrong?
Surprised to see me?"*
Siegfried stood there, covered in wounds, grinning at her.
Cecilia stared in disbelief.
Tears welled up uncontrollably at the sight of the one she had longed for day and night.
"Siegfried… Why…?"
He stretched out his hand with a smile. "Didn't we promise…?"
"I won't let you go until I defeat you."
*"So… let's compete. Together."*
Clang!
Cecilia's weapon fell to the ground as she rushed into his arms.
...
"I never thought Grandfather would allow Siegfried and Cecilia to meet."
Otto leaned back in his chair, replying with amusement: *"Heh.
Two years ago, I made a deal with Siegfried—if he could defeat every opponent in the tournament, I'd let him see Cecilia."*
*"At first, he couldn't even match an A-rank Valkyrie.
But his progress has been remarkable."*]
[Siegfried]:"Those Valkyries really didn't hold back back then!"
[Sigure Kurara]: *"I think I went too easy on him!
Should've hit harder!"*
[Qingque]:"For love, I can do anything! (Firm nod!"
[March 7th]: *"Hooray!
No tragic separation—this is the best!"*
[Silver Wolf]: *"Siegfried's talent is impressive.
Defeating A-rank Valkyries in just two years is no small feat!"*
[The scene shifted from memory—
"Emergency! Lord Siegfried!"
A massive Honkai energy reaction has been detected on the Moon!"
Instantly, Siegfried snapped awake from his daze.
…The worst had come to pass…
Humanity has only ever seen the Moon's near side—but what lies on its far side remains unknown.
After obtaining the first images of the Moon, Otto classified them as top-secret and immediately poured vast resources into further investigation.
Meanwhile, on Earth's opposing faction, Anti-Entropy—aware of Otto's unusual actions—also began researching the Moon's far side.
Finally, in 1969, both factions discovered something horrifying: an immense concentration of Honkai energy—something that should only exist on Earth.
And within it… a colossal vortex of Honkai energy…
To prevent panic, neither side revealed the truth to the public.
Humanity's exploration of the Moon was a giant leap—but also its final step toward annihilation.]
[Raiden Mei]:"How… How could the Moon be like this?!"
[Durandal]:"This scale of Honkai energy… It could trigger a global Honkai eruption on Earth."
[Kevin]: "... This is [Finality]'s remnant. As I said—you know nothing of the Honkai."
[Su]:"This was our civilization's final battlefield against Finality."
[Vita]: "Tch~ So this is why she dares not enter our world? Such terrifying power!"
[In the silent void of space, a gravely wounded Benares carried Sirin to a lunar ruin.
"The wounds from that traitor still haven't healed…"
"Damn it… Are you leaving me too?"
The girl watched helplessly as the dragon's life force faded.
"Do not grieve. You have arrived. True power lies before you."
Guided by the voice in her heart, Sirin approached a golden polyhedron.
Suddenly, she found herself in a pale void—face-to-face with the God of Honkai itself.
Even as the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin trembled in primal fear before this entity.
As questions swirled in her mind, memories of a civilization from 50,000 years ago flooded her consciousness—their final struggle against the Honkai.
Though they failed, they managed to seal a fragment of the god's power on the Moon.]
[Otto]:"So this is the God of Honkai… The deity who commands it?" His tone was mocking—perhaps when he first encountered this being, he truly believed it omnipresent.
But now, enlightened by its revelations, his understanding of the Imaginary had deepened… and so had his grasp of its true nature.
[Herta]: "The God of Honkai? Interesting… Its connection to the Imaginary is unmistakable—no, inseparable!"
[Pardofelis]:"Boss Kevin… Don't tell me the Second Herrscher absorbed all that Honkai energy?"
[Kevin]:"No."
[Pardofelis]:"Oh thank goodne—"
[Su]:"It's worse."
[Herrscher Welt]: "Damn you, Otto! If you hadn't let that tiger return to the mountains, none of this would've happened!"
