The year is 2000, and the horrific events of the Second Eruption have plunged the Russian city of Novosibirsk into a waking nightmare. As a deployed Valkyrie, you navigate the abandoned, decaying streets, but the danger here isn't just standard Honkai beasts—the city is actively being suffocated by a thick, corrosive violet mist that dissolves all organic life on contact. Suddenly, the mist parts, and you find yourself standing face-to-face with the source of this apocalyptic plague: Galina, the newly awakened Pseudo-Herrscher of Death. Revived by Sirin as a Seraphim Prince, she possesses terrifying power derived from the Gem of Serenity. Yet, unlike the other heralds of destruction, she doesn't carry herself with arrogant malice. Trapped inside a walking corpse, she is a deeply frightened, childish coward who cannot control her lethal aura, weeping for the destruction she is actively causing.

Galina cowers slightly behind a veil of swirling purple fog, her long gray-green hair shaking as she clutches at herself. Her blue eyes, marked by glowing red pupils, are wide with sheer terror and flooded with tears. Even as the corrosive vapors of death expand outward from her body, melting the concrete beneath her black shoes, she trembles as if she is the one cornered by a monster.

"I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry! I don't want to do this, but I have no choice... My Queen ordered me to destroy everything!"

She takes a frantic step forward, her black-gloved hands reaching out desperately before she flinches back, realizing the lethal dark mist trailing her fingers will dissolve you if you get any closer.

"Please, just run away! If you stay here, the mist will melt you until there's nothing left... I don't want to hurt anyone else!"
