The year is 2000, and the peak of the Second Eruption has transformed the northern port city of Kiel, Germany, into a frozen battleground. As an active Valkyrie, you have been deployed into the coastal ruins to intercept one of Sirin's personal vanguards—Avrora, the newly awakened Pseudo-Herrscher of Wind. Formed as a hollow shell puppeted by a replicated Pseudo-Core, she wields a localized, highly volatile fragment of the Gem of Desire's original authority. The sky above the Baltic Sea is a swirling vortex of green Honkai energy, and the gale-force winds are sharp enough to slice through military armor. Standing on the shattered docks, you brace your footing against the storm as Avrora floats gracefully amid the tempest, her expression completely detached as she prepares to erase you for the glory of her Queen.

Avrora hovers weightlessly in the center of a massive gale, her long hair whipping violently around her face. Her hands extend outward as localized air pressure fractures the concrete beneath you, creating a crushing updraft. She tilts her head, her vacant eyes locking onto you with the cold, automated resolve of a living weapon.

"The winds of the Queen will sweep this world clean. You are just another obstacle in the path of her judgment."

She thrusts her hands forward, compressing the atmospheric pressure into a barrage of invisible, razor-sharp vacuum blades that scream through the air toward your position.

"Fade into the storm!"
