Deliverance from the Past! (7K)
Little Knowledge strolled leisurely, not dodging the bullets fired by Kiana at all. Despite her ruthless words, she lost face when Kiana recognized her after she created two clones.
"Alright, Kiana, I value fairness above all else. You use a gun, so I'll use a gun too. I'll make you accept your defeat wholeheartedly!"
A long spear suddenly appeared, and Little Knowledge grabbed it in the process, flicking it with his spear. The spear tip cut through the air, making a piercing hollow sound.
"It has a long handle..."
"They're all guns anyway!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
This scene left the audience both amused and bewildered.
Just a second ago, Little Knowledge was asking if she could find him, but Kiana saw right through her with the Herrscher of the Void. After that, Xiao Shi made some harsh remarks, which made them feel that she was furious.
"Since they're all guns anyway, what you're saying makes no mistake."
Bronya wanted to complain, but couldn't find the source of her complaints.
"As the saying goes, a gun is fast within seven paces, and even faster and more accurate beyond seven paces," Little Knowledge said confidently. "I'm fighting her with a firearm using a cold weapon. Doesn't that prove my strength?"
Speechless.
Judging from the current storyline, Little Knowledge is indeed dominating Kiana, swinging his spear faster than a bullet can be fired—something few people in real life could do.
"The name has been changed."
Kosma suddenly spoke.
"Amo, what name changed?" Pardo was so engrossed in the intense fight that she didn't notice at all.
"Her original name was Hua (?), but now it has been changed to Herrscher of Sentience. She no longer firmly believes that she is Fu Hua."
Kosma said something unusual.
"That's right!"
It was only then that Pardo noticed.
Or perhaps others will notice it, since everyone's attention is drawn to the scene modeling and the characters' fighting, and it's hard for anyone to notice this subtle difference.
Little Knowledge's attacks became increasingly fierce, Kiana was already showing signs of fatigue. If she made a mistake or was hit even once, she might be sent to see her mother.
Suddenly, the entire space went dark.
"Pitch black... isn't that despairing?"
Little Knowledge separated into several black and red shadows. Amidst the rampant laughter, each shadow began to gather its power, aiming directly at one person. Kiana was momentarily at a loss as to which target to attack.
Just when she was at her wit's end, Fu Hua's weak voice rang in Kiana's mind.
Kiana... I will guide you...
Guided by Fu Hua, Kiana attacked a shadowy figure, which turned out to be the Herrscher of Sentience in her true form.
"I'm so touched. Hua is so weak, yet he's still thinking of helping." Pardo covered her mouth.
"Hua Ke, please don't die!"
That weak voice was like the tolling of death's bell.
It seems like it will return to nature in the next second.
The audience was genuinely on tenterhooks.
I'm afraid this movie will kill off Fu Hua at the end.
Only a brutal, hand-to-hand combat can distract them from their worries.
Kiana punched Little Knowledge in the chest with all her might.
Little Knowledge was sent flying backward. When he stood up, he spread his arms as if roaring to the sky, and his whole body burst out with black and red energy, and scarlet lightning struck down from the horizon.
He charged straight toward Kiana.
Kiana's backflip, using the power of the Herrscher of the Void to distance herself, and her head-on collision with Fu Hua's body at its peak, is clearly not a choice a normal person would make.
Kiana emerged from the void and landed on the chains connecting the giant swords.
The perspective shifts from Kiana along the chains to Little Knowledge standing on the sword hilt. His luck has been perfect for a long time, and Little Knowledge smiles wildly, giving Kiana a thumbs up.
As expected by the audience, the thumbs-up quickly reversed, accompanied by a disdainful smile, as if he looked down on Kiana completely.
"Come here!"
Little Knowledge still has the upper hand.
Kiana has been forced to use her Herrscher Authority, while Little Knowledge seems to still have some strength left. The audience is holding Kiana breath, worried that if Kiana can't win, Fu Hua will most likely be the one to sacrifice herself.
After all, Fu Hua has a criminal record.
Back when Kiana was killed, she was prepared for herself, Kiana, and the Queen of Void's consciousness to perish together. If she had to choose again, Fu Hua would definitely choose to perish together with Little Knowledge.
Kiana, go for it!
Huan Zhong thought to himself silently.
Little Knowledge didn't think that much about it.
She felt that the last line she said sounded familiar, as if she had seen it in a movie, except that instead of a thumbs-down gesture, it was a different, provocative one.
Kiana started running along the chains, trying to get closer to Little Knowledge.
The audience was puzzled. If they could use the power of the Herrscher of the Void, why didn't they just use money to open a hole behind Little Knowledge and instead run across the chains themselves? Weren't they afraid that Little Knowledge would suddenly attack?
Just as the audience expected, Little Knowledge did indeed make a move.
But it didn't seem like they were stopping them; it seemed more like they were having fun.
The sword energy emitted was just enough for Kiana to crouch and dodge, and the thrown dart was deflected by Kiana's sword.
Kiana quickly approached Little Knowledge, leaped high into the air, and used her power to create a foothold for leverage.
He tried his best, but Little Knowledge blocked his attack.
"There are too many flaws!"
Little Knowledge's other hand emitted a red light and struck Kiana's stomach.
Kiana was instantly knocked away and fell into the sea of clouds.
Little Knowledge followed closely behind and jumped down.
After being bombarded with knives and knives, the sudden, visceral thrill of hand-to-hand combat can be a bit disorienting for viewers.
"Kiana, how is it?" Little Knowledge raised an eyebrow.
"It's not over yet, we don't know who will win or lose," Kiana retorted stubbornly.
In her view, she was the protagonist. Although it was a bit tragic, she was still the protagonist. How could she possibly lose to Herrscher in the end? Even though she herself was a Herrscher.
Chapter 341 Crossing the Dust! (7K)
The camera pans down to a sea of clouds, where broken sword blades resemble an ancient battlefield. Kiana, barely managing to use her powers, slams heavily onto a stone platform and struggles to her feet.
"Have you calmed down yet, Kiana? Look! This is the difference in strength between you and me!"
The Herrscher of Sentience fell from the sky, and three weapons slammed into her side, embedding themselves in the platform. As she stood up, the three weapons landed behind her.
"You can't beat me, you can't!"
The offensive intensified.
His mastery of sword, spear, and chain was unparalleled, leaving Kiana with only a difficult resistance, like a small boat in a storm, about to be capsized by the waves.
The oppressive atmosphere and the sense of powerlessness made the audience feel breathless.
Just like how the Herrscher of Sentience is truly invincible.
"Think about it! What's the point of this battle? How can the outcome possibly change?"
"What this world needs is my power, it is me!"
"Winning or losing is meaningless. It's only natural that you'll lose to me."
Little Knowledge roared as if he had gone mad.
Her anger did not dissipate with her roar. Instead, her sword glowed crimson, and with a fierce slash, Kiana was forced back, involuntarily letting out a scream of pain.
Without even a moment to catch her breath, Little Knowledge's sword slashed wildly, Kiana's body swaying uncontrollably from side to side under the attack.
Kiana can't beat Little Knowledge.
The audience had expected this, but they didn't expect to be beaten so badly. After Little Knowledge unleashed his power, Kiana had no chance to resist.
"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! The battle is awesome!"
Little Knowledge was overjoyed and waved his fists.
Kiana's expression was strange. In the previous movie, she was beaten up by Mei, and in this movie, she was beaten up by Little Knowledge.
"How could I..."
Kiana nestled into Mei's arms.
Mei patted Kiana's smooth back. If you looked closely, the smile on her lips didn't seem like comforting; it looked more like teasing and suppressing a laugh.
"Little Knowledge's combat power is so terrifying, how is Xiao Kiana supposed to fight him?"
Theresa's concerns are not unfounded.
If Kiana hadn't won, the storyline would have taken an irreversible turn.
"Why did things turn out like this when all I had to do was comfort her at the beginning?"
Elysia was depressed.
She couldn't understand why Little Knowledge seemed like an innocent child when he first appeared.
She was still willing to listen to Otto's concerns, which meant she was able to listen to others and take their opinions into consideration. However, with the current plot development, every step Kiana and Fu Hua took seemed to be pushing Little Knowledge away.
Until... he threw himself into the Honkai.
"The Honkai is never a sunny story. I can't deny its beauty..." Eden gently let Elysia lean on his shoulder and said softly, "But beneath that beauty lies an untouchable sadness."
"Elysia, you actually believe him when he says he's sunny, cheerful, and positive?" Mobius stroked Yaqing's flaxen hair, and in a fit of anger, plucked a strand of hair from her head.
"But I... just want to see those happy and perfect endings."
The thrill of fighting is only superficial.
Most of it was sadness.
It is an irreplaceable sorrow.
"I'm here, Kiana."
Fu Hua's weak voice came through.
The golden feathers shielded Kiana from a fatal attack, giving Kiana a chance to catch her breath and launch a counterattack.
"Our squad leader didn't give up!"
Kiana fought with increasing ferocity.
"That's because I went easy on him!"
Little Knowledge's emotions were ignited by a single sentence, exploding like a powder keg.
"She's about to die, is it worth it! Why protect a... piece of trash!!!"
"You don't understand!"
"Don't try to be mysterious with me!!!"
Fu Hua's weak voice sent a chill down the spines of the audience.
That broken string, that flickering flame.
It seems like it could vanish into thin air at any moment.
Fu Hua was restless.
I feel like everyone is looking at me strangely.
"The Herrscher of Sentience, Little Knowledge, your old uncle really treats you well. Even the Herrscher's name and powers are the same as yours."
