In the year 2016 AD, the whole world is struggling to survive under the influence of Honkai.
Nearly twenty years have passed since the Second Honkai Eruption, but the monstrosity it unleashed still stands. The Second Herrscher rules vast territories with an iron fist, claiming absolute supremacy. To sustain her tyranny, thousands of souls are sacrificed day and night to this product of Honkai, their deaths crying out for a freedom that will never come.
But this mighty Herrscher is merely a gilded facade.
When the Second Herrscher became powerful enough to shake human civilization, she also began to suffer increasingly from mental torment. Pseudo-Herrscher and intelligent Honkai creatures are growing ever more disobedient, plotting against one another and even colluding with humanity. The whole world is preparing to take down the Second Herrscher. The Herrschers who still remain are also scheming against one another and plotting humanity's destruction.
Across in Europe, Schicksal is rallying its allies and doing everything it can to prevent human civilization from collapsing, searching for a way to ensure humanity survives until the day it can overcome Honkai. Across the Atlantic, Anti-Entropy is caught between threats from humanity and Honkai, struggling to hold on against both direct assaults and covert infiltration.
The world seems to have been pushed to the brink of Honkai. Can it survive? Or has the countdown to destruction already begun?
