Honkai: Star Rail: Black Tomb Embarks on the Cycle of Reincarnation Once More

What-if timeline: Ocean Planet, Lushaka

Emperor III Black Tomb was supposed to lead an expedition across the starry wastes, igniting the opening of the War of the Gods in blood and fire, until a higher-dimensional soul fell into his icy body.

And so, fate quietly veered off course.

The Aeons fell one after another, and the universe marched toward extinction in silence. Only the eternal hum of Black Tomb's calculations echoed through the void. He had just two remaining missions: find Herta and kill Nous.

But now, even that sole directive had developed a flaw

Why had the scepter's driving force been replaced with the one and only Ms. Herta!

What if: Amphoreus

In the laboratory, Herta, who knew everything, lounged on the edge of a floating console, her legs gently swinging beneath her skirt. She lifted her chin and chuckled toward some point in the void:

“Why don't you come over and thank this genius? I saved the universe, after all.”

She tilted her head, twirling a strand of hair around her finger, a sly glint in her eyes:

“As for how I saved it...”

“That's none of your business.”
