Chapter 343

There could be better news than this that makes people more excited and celebrate.

Kiana and Raiden Mei, Durandal and Rita, Delta and Wendy, the four twins from Great Void Mountain, the three dolls... everyone subconsciously hugged the person closest to them or the person they were most intimate with, and joyful smiles bloomed on everyone's faces.

Even Mobius, unusually, didn't push away Vill-V, who was hugging him and cheering loudly. She simply looked up at the moon, a relaxed and contented smile on her lips.

A moment later, Xiao Shi's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly pushed Fu Hua away.

"Snort!"

"Uh, let me explain, Xiao Shi..."

"Who is Xiao Shi?!"

"No, it's just a nickname I recently chose. It's not important. I just wanted to say..."

Something unexpected happened at Great Void Mountain.

Ji Lin and A-Lin stood to the side, watching intently with their big, bright eyes, and feeding each other snacks meant for watching the show, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Cang Xiaoxuan floated over at the right moment and sat on Ji Lin's shoulder, sharing delicious snacks and daily entertainment together.

Then, only the weak and helpless Little Eclipse remained, clutching the Skyfire.

She looked up and saw Skyfire's cold and indifferent expression.

"Gah~~"

She fainted from fright.

Amidst the festive atmosphere, Kiana suddenly blinked and looked up at the sky.

"Now that you've succeeded, what about Anqi?"

After the final battle, the teams, according to their respective lineups (Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent), returned to their headquarters to take control of the overall situation.

On the Anti-Entropy and World Serpent sides, things are alright. On one side, Ninti is safe and sound, and the entire high-level team has returned unscathed. On the other side, although Kevin has been lost and the Stigmata Project has failed, defeating the Honkai is the best possible outcome, and there are no internal problems.

Only in the realm of Schicksal, neither Anqi Yae Sakura had returned, leaving everyone feeling uneasy.

Fortunately, after waiting for a day, Yae Sakura finally appeared in the Archbishop's office, bringing a Herrscher Core, which she handed to Kiana.

"She's waiting for you on the moon. Be careful on your journey."

Yae Sakura smiled and then looked at Rita, Amber, and Durandal with her smiling eyes.

They responded with genuine smiles of relief.

Kiana took the core and merged it into her body, feeling the familiar Void Authority return to her body. She then immediately opened a spatial portal to the moon.

Kiana was the first to rush in.

Raiden Mei, Theresa, Fu Hua, and others rushed over one after another.

The group arrived in a garden. Above them was a blue planet, but beneath their feet was no longer barren lunar soil, but a lush, vibrant expanse stretching to the horizon.

"Drip, drip!"

Ahead, the graceful Anqi stood before a stone table laden with delicious food, elegantly brewing tea, a scene of beauty like a painting of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Around the stone table, Himeko, Bronya, Mobius, and Vill-V had arrived earlier and were enjoying the unique lunar scenery.

"Too slow, Kiana must be sleeping in again, that idiot!"

"I didn't!"

Kiana, as usual, exchanged a few words with Bronya, then flashed a radiant smile and pounced on Anqi.

"Anqi!"

"Be quiet, can't you see I'm pouring tea?"

Anqi's body didn't tremble at all. She glanced sideways, and her golden eyes saw Kiana's surprised smile, so she unconsciously revealed tenderness and warmth.

Kiana felt a warmth in her heart, and then the anxiety she had felt all day finally subsided. She snuggled against Anqi with a satisfied expression, reluctant to let go.

After Anqi finished pouring the tea, everyone took their seats.

Then Anqi raised her hand and flicked Kiana's forehead.

"Thump!"

It produced a clear and pleasant sound.

Kiana still wouldn't let go, clinging to Anqi and saying pitifully:

"Ouch~~"

"You deserve it."

"Huh?"

"Do you know you almost ruined my plans? It seems you still have a lot to learn, the most important of which is that you must learn to follow plans."

Anqi glared at her with exasperation.

Although I know she meant well, it still infuriates me.

Although it was infuriating, she genuinely cared.

This has left Anqi with mixed feelings, unsure of how to continue mediating with her.

Kiana shrank back guiltily. Now that things had come to this, she dared not object, secretly realizing things were going terribly wrong. Knowing Anqi's personality, she was sure to arrange some very painful lessons afterward!

"Open your mouth."

Ah~~

Anqi popped a piece of pastry into Kiana's mouth.

Then, her eyes curved into crescent moons with delight as she savored the delicious food, forgetting all her troubles.

The familiar interactive setting calmed everyone down.

I always feel that as long as Kiana can still be this silly, it means that the sky hasn't fallen and life can still go on.

Anqi sat down, and then Mobius and Vill-V asked impatiently:

"What's your current state?"

"I have completely taken control of the Cocoon of the Finality. Now I am the Finality, and the source of all Honkai Energy and all power on Earth. In other words, from a human perspective, I am a god."

Finality?

"Yes. But the upper limit is extremely high. With the current level of human civilization, it will probably take a long time to catch up with this limit. Before reaching this limit, it can be basically assumed that the stronger the civilization, the stronger the Cocoon of the Finality, and the stronger my power. However, I may be able to use the power of the Cocoon to advance the path to Apotheosis, and then use the Apotheosis state to raise the upper limit of the Cocoon, thus forming a positive cycle. This may be my direction of progress."

Do you know what kind of civilization the cocoon came from?

"There isn't much information. But from what we can see, His status is very high; even if our civilization reaches the upper limit of the cocoon, we still won't be able to touch Him..."

Anqi carefully answered all the questions raised by the two Doctor.

After a long while, they stopped, deep in thought, silently digesting the information and revising their past theories and experiences.

"Anqi, come and have some tea."

At this moment, Kiana pushed a cup of tea towards Angie with a fawning expression, hoping that Anqi would give up her intention to torment her.

Under Kiana's anxious gaze, Anqi sipped her tea and then said:

"I need to stay on the moon for a while. Firstly, I haven't fully adapted to this power that surpasses civilization, and secondly, I need to think about the future. I'm not being arrogant, but given humanity's current situation, I am indeed no different from a true god. How should I position myself in the future, and how should I use Honkai to help humanity? This is a major issue that concerns the next thousand or ten thousand years."

"That's... that's terrible, hahaha!"

Kiana heard the first sentence.

Since Anqi isn't coming back for the time being, there's no time to worry about her interfering with the plan.

Yay!

Then, Anqi added:

"But I will make good use of St. Freya's resources to properly arrange your punishment and education."

"..."

Kiana looked dejected.

Anqi smiled. Looking at the relaxed and cheerful crowd, she raised her teacup:

"Let's have a drink! To celebrate our victory over fate, and to celebrate—the arrival of a new era!"

Cheers! ×N

The glasses clinked together. Although it wasn't alcohol, the mood wasn't affected at all, and the smiles on people's faces were incredibly joyful.

Now, enjoy the joy of victory. It is what everyone deserves, and especially what Anqi deserves.

A month later, the moon welcomed a group of VIP visitors.

The Anti-Entropy organization represented by Cocolia, Ninti, and Welt.

The Schicksal represented by Yae Sakura, Rita, and Durandal.

The World Serpent Organization is represented by Skyfire, Jackal, and Gray Serpent.

They arrived at Anqi's garden, sat down beside Anqi, and all wore expressions of emotion and excitement.

Cocolia, Yae Sakura, and Skyfire each pulled out a plan.

"Now, with God as our witness, let us decide the future of humanity and set the direction for the times!"

The Anqi gazed at each other intently and passionately.
