Chapter 276

"It's a bit strange, or rather, it's strange in every way."

As the most knowledgeable person here, Dr. Mei frowned and asked, "From what future did Kiana come?"

What you really want to say is, is she actually from our future?

Mobius added, "I personally tend to think it's not that—because theoretically, if problems arise in the future and it's necessary to go back to the past to fix them, then it shouldn't be her who comes back."

Although no one spoke, they all agreed with Mobius's prediction. After all, everyone knew that if this really happened, there would only be one person who would go back to the past, and that person was Ai Yue.

Given the other party's personality, they would never place such a heavy burden on a little girl.

"But what if the situation in the future is even worse than we imagine?"

Su suddenly said at this moment, "For example, all of us, including Ai Yue, will die in the future, which is why we need a child like this to solve the problem now?"

"That doesn't seem to make no mistake after all,"

Kevin glanced at Elysia instinctively, "After all, Kiana was also wondering why Elysia was still alive."

"Her reaction wasn't what you expected,"

Elysia smiled. "Kiana probably means she's wondering why I'm still alive at this point in time. In other words, in her mind, I should have died long before this point in time."

"Elysia, please don't say things like that while laughing. It makes people feel uncomfortable."

Eden also chimed in with his opinion, "However, I also agree with Elysia's statement. If we think about it from this perspective, Ai Yue should not exist in the other party's future at all."

"Really."

Aponia nodded. "If it weren't for Ai Yue, then Elysia would probably have died before the Final War... Moreover, if the other party comes from a future without Ai Yue, then it can explain a lot of things, such as why she is here."

"After all, without Ai Yue, we simply couldn't defeat the Herrscher of the End."

"But that makes things strange," Vill-V said in a deliberately casual tone. "If it weren't for Ai Yue, how would Mei and Kevin's descendants have survived to the future?"

"Perhaps I know the answer to this question."

Dr. Mei sighed, "Back when the Seventh Herrscher was born, the Moth to Fire proposed a plan due to their extreme despair."

"That is, when human civilization is already determined to be destroyed, where should we go from here?"

"I remember it was modeled after ancient civilizations, leaving behind their experience in fighting the Honkai."

Mobius frowned, clearly remembering it too, "But I haven't heard of that thing since."

"Because Ai Yue appeared later, that proposal became useless."

Dr. Mei showed a hint of relief, but then sighed slightly, "But if the situation is really as Aponia said, then this proposal must have played its due role in the end."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"That,"

Hua suddenly said at that moment, "Kiana is watching us."

Although mental communication is actually quite rapid, even a moment of silence would seem very abrupt in such a situation. So when everyone came to their senses and looked at Kiana, her eyes had become very strange.

"What do we do now?"

Elysia asked again in her mind.

"In short, we still need to confirm our conjecture first."

Dr. Mei said, "Only after knowing the truth can we solve the problem."

So she stepped forward and stood in front of Kiana.

"Hello, Kiana, my name is Mei."

Dr. Mei stated bluntly, "I suppose you're not interested in pleasantries or formalities, so I'll be frank—did you come here to help us, or to save yourselves?"

"If it's the latter, then what exactly went wrong in the future?"

"I..."

Kiana stared blankly at the woman in front of her who looked almost exactly like Yae Sakura. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

I'm sorry, everyone, I think I messed things up.

Even though she had only said less than ten words, Kiana felt that her intentions had been seen through, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

But remembering the words the doctors had told her before she left, Kiana shook her head and said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I can't answer these questions for you."

"I can understand your thinking, after all, I also have some knowledge of spacetime theory."

Dr. Mei had no intention of giving up. Instead, she pressed on, "But under the current circumstances, there's no point in continuing to hide it. You wouldn't want us to make choices that could harm the future just because we don't have detailed information, would you?"

"Oh, don't worry too much, we have someone to back us up!"

Seeing Kiana still hesitating, Vill-V couldn't help but speak up and persuade her, "Since he was willing to tell us about it, it means that this matter is not actually that troublesome!"

"Now that we've come this far, I also have something to say."

Aponia suddenly spoke up, "As the saying goes, words are no proof. Since we can't convince her with just words, why not show her what we have to offer?"

Is this a good idea?

Kevin frowned slightly. "Ai Yue sent us here to solve problems, right? If we rely on him for everything, wouldn't that make us look useless?"

"Compared to him, we really are useless."

Elysia said nonchalantly, then grabbed Kiana's arm, "Okay, don't worry too much, Kiana, we can definitely help you solve the problem!"

"In that case, let's leave here first."

Seeing that everyone agreed with the suggestion, Dr. Mei went along with it, saying, "Perhaps seeing the world as it is now will put your mind at ease."

Dependence? Dependence on whom? Shouldn't the pillars of the Pre-Civilization be all here?

Seeing Kevin and the others' reactions, Kiana momentarily forgot to resist and was pulled forward by Elysia.

Things seem to be completely different from what they imagined.

In Kiana's limited memory, the people before her were the last heroes of the Pre-Civilization. Even after their defeat, they did not give up, but chose to give their knowledge to those who came after them without reservation, even sacrificing everything to leave a glimmer of hope for those who came after them, which led to the present civilization.

So, who is this person named "Ai Yue" whom they discussed with such utmost trust, even to the point of "blind obedience"?

Kiana was still thinking when a sudden white light obscured her vision, causing her to squint.

When her vision returned to normal, the surrounding environment had transformed from the space Cocoon of Finality was located into a large hall filled with technological atmosphere.

However, Kiana, realizing she had entered the real world, suddenly changed her expression. "Wait, I can't go to Earth!"

As she spoke, the power within her suddenly contracted rapidly. In just an instant, the power of the Herrscher of the End that had once manifested on the girl vanished without a trace, turning Kiana into an ordinary person.

However, all of this was Kiana's own initiative—after all, her current identity is the Herrscher of the End, and even just appearing in the Real Space could bring unnecessary disasters here, so she must restrain her power as much as possible, and not let even the slightest bit leak out.

"Oh, it's okay, this isn't Earth, it's the moon."

As she answered casually, Vill-V looked around and asked, "Hey, where's Ai Yue?"

"Doctor Ai Yue has something to do and will be back in a little while."

The person who answered her was Ai, who came over carrying a huge tray. She placed the tray on the table and then placed the fourteen cups and a covered bowl on it.

"This is coffee that Doctor Ai Yue instructed me to prepare for everyone,"

As Ai spoke, she turned her gaze to the unfamiliar figure, "And the instant noodles prepared for this guest."

"Instant noodles?"

Upon hearing this word, Elysia frowned immediately. "Oh dear, how can we serve such a thing to guests who have come from afar!"

She was just about to say, "I'll cook a feast myself," when she heard someone next to her swallow hard.

It was Kiana.

"Uh, well, instant noodles are fine."

Noticing Elysia's surprised gaze, Kiana pursed her lips and gave a slightly awkward smile. "I quite like instant noodles."

So, it seems she hasn't eaten instant noodles even once since she started preparing for this "time travel plan".

I wonder what instant noodles tasted like in the Pre-Civilization?

Before she could even think, Kiana's gaze was already firmly fixed on the bowl of instant noodles.

That's why she didn't notice the subtle exchange of glances between Dr. Mei and the others.

Ai Yue's ability to so accurately cater to the other party's preferences is enough to show that the entire situation was under the other party's control.

"That guy really did know something."

"No, since he knows Kiana likes instant noodles, I have reason to suspect that he may have already figured out the whole thing!" Vill-V said in the mental connection.

You can simply remove "very likely".

Mobius snorted coldly, "Knowing Ai Yue as I do, if he says he wants us to 'witness' something, then it's very likely that he really just wants us to watch from the sidelines."

"We've known him for a long time, we should be used to it by now."

Dr. Mei shook her head slightly. "However, what exactly does Ai Yue want us to witness?"

"No, the important matter is more pressing!"

While everyone was still speculating, Kiana, with the spirit of a god, had already broken free from the temptation of instant noodles and remembered her mission.

She looked at everyone with a serious expression. "You just said this is the moon... Could it be that the Herrscher of the End is about to descend?"

Upon hearing her question, everyone exchanged glances before revealing a subtle expression.

"If you're referring to the Herrscher of the End as we understand it,"

In the end, Kevin answered the question, "Then He has been dealt with by us."

"...ah?"

Chapter Thirty-Eight: This account really doesn't add up at all, does it?

Kiana had considered many possibilities before setting off.

But she really hadn't expected to get such an answer.

"No, wait a minute, are you sure it's that Herrscher of the End?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Kiana began gesturing wildly, "Not Herrscher of the End like me, but Herrscher of the End is especially big and especially strong!"

"Of course I'm sure."

Before Kevin could respond, Vill-V interrupted, "You can see for yourself if you don't believe me."

She snapped her fingers at Ai Yi: "Good girl, play the video!"

"Start playing the documentary 'The Final War'..."

"No, no, no, don't show anything edited in post-production, just show the video!"

The thought of that propaganda video, designed to boost morale, sent chills down Vill-V's spine. She quickly stopped her, saying, "We don't need to start from the beginning. Just start from where the fighting begins!"

Kiana blinked, still a little confused.

They even had the capacity to document all of this and then turn the war into a documentary?

No, are you really that relaxed?

However, before she could carefully consider the details, she was drawn to the image projected by Ai Yi—in the deep, gloomy, and dark universe, a gigantic woman stood on the desolate moon.

Kiana's eyes widened instantly.

That's Herrscher of the End, and Herrscher of the End with extremely high strength!

The Pre-Civilization defeated Herrscher of the End of this power? Then who were they... no, who were these people?

When Kiana managed to suppress her excitement and continue watching, she realized that she couldn't recognize any of the people fighting the Herrscher of the End.

Who is that giant emitting white light, slightly smaller than the Herrscher of the End? And who is that even smaller red figure next to it, radiating plasma flames? And what about that giant dragon that looks like it came straight out of some fantasy novel?

As for the giant robot that appeared later and the human who could use Herrscher authority, they all seemed quite normal.

If she hadn't known beforehand that this was the final battle against the Herrscher of the End, she would have thought she was filming some kind of crossover movie!

This is completely different from what Kiana knew! Whether it's information from historical records or what Yae Sakura told her, it's all completely different!

What happened to the promised battle between the Fused Warrior Herrscher of the End?

However, what terrified Kiana even more was the power of this Herrscher of the End.
