Yae Sakura's Dream

"The Kaslana family is the earliest family in this civilization to fight against the Honkai. Kevin Kaslana is the first patriarch of the Kaslana family in this civilization."

"The Kaslana family's genes contain the genes of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Parvati, and Kevin Kaslana was the earliest Fusion Warrior. The Emperor-class Honkai Beast Parvati's genes contain the power of ice and snow, so Kevin can use the Seventh Divine Key - Judgement of Flame, which has the most powerful destructive and backlash force, without suffering any backlash."

"So, can the current Kaslanas also use Judgement of Flame at will?"

"If that were the case, Sirin would not have died at the hands of Cecilia Schariac, but at the hands of Seele Vollerei."

"Can't... that makes things much easier."

"Does Kallen have Judgement of Flame?"

"No, Kallen Kaslana's Divine Key is the Eleventh Divine Key - Key of Restraint, Judas' Covenant."

"Then Judgement of Flame..."

"Judgement of Flame is inherited by the successive patriarchs of the Kaslana family, and Kallen Kaslana is not the patriarch of the Kaslana family, but merely the most outstanding Valkyrie in the Kaslana family. Five hundred years ago, Kallen Kaslana's father was the owner of Judgement of Flame. I haven't paid attention to who the owner was after that."

"That's right. As long as Judgement of Flame is not used by someone like Kevin Kaslana who can withstand the backlash, it doesn't matter who uses it."

"After all, after MEI modified the Kaslana genes, the Kaslanas, without the genes of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Ganesha, can only use Judgement of Flame once, at the cost of the user's own life."

"The user's own life?! What about Seele Vollerei?"

"Seele Vollerei has used Judgement of Flame twice in his life, both times at a very heavy cost. The first time was fine, Cecilia Schariac saved him. The second time, Seele Vollerei left Kiana's side, the one you encountered. Of course, he didn't die, he just can't use Judgement of Flame again. I'm sure that without the help of the Sixth Divine Key - Black Abyss White Flower or anything related to the Herrscher of Death, Seele would surely die if he used Judgement of Flame again."

"An attack that costs one's life, its destructive power can be imagined."

"And Seele, who could use it twice, not to mention his vitality is like a cockroach, his strength alone is definitely not to be underestimated."

"By the way, Host, this System has prepared a small welfare for you, it's about Yae Sakura."

"? You're not going to let me peek at her bathing, are you? No, no, that's bad for my health, she'll cut me to death."

"No, no, no, it would be too boring if I just let you peek at her bathing. I can let you peek at her dreams."

"Dreams?"

"So dreams can be spied on too? This has already surpassed the level that can be explained by 'Honkai' and 'science', hasn't it?"

"Dreams don't actually exist in a person's true memories. They say that what you think about during the day, you dream about at night. It's precisely because you think too much that your brain will subconsciously give yourself a psychological suggestion, making you enter a hypothetical world to fulfill your wishes."

"And what people often talk about as 'dreams' are just short-term memories created because the subconscious mind believes that its wishes have been fulfilled."

"What the System is going to do now is no different from invading Yae Sakura's consciousness."

"How do I do it?"

"Host, you just need to watch. I'll handle the rest."

Petals enveloped Feng Chen, transporting him into a world that seemed to be free of pain, grudges, and sorrow.

"Is this Sakura's dream?"

"Host, you can walk a few steps now. Everything here is an illusion, and even Yae Sakura can't see you."

Feng Chen walked a few more steps and saw that there was indeed no giant Tenshu-kaku to the northwest of the village, nor was there any talk of "the Miko sacrificing herself to ask the gods for rain."

As for the matters at the shrine, he could only catch a few words from people's casual conversations, saying things like "The Miko finally has someone to take care of her" and "The person living with the Miko seems quite nice."

"System, can you teleport me to the shrine?"

"This is Yae Sakura's consciousness. I'm just guiding you in. In reality, you are the one invading her consciousness, so you can do it yourself. To prevent you from messing around, I've put the teleportation method on your map."

Several green dots appeared on the projected map, marking important locations around Yae Village, including the shrine.

After clicking on the green dot for the shrine a few times, the scenery around Feng Chen instantly changed to Yae Shrine, without even a special effect.

"System, I want to give your teleportation a bad review, there are no special effects."

"If there were special effects, your eyes would be blinded."

"I don't believe you, quickly add a special effect for me."

"Okay, wait... Done. Click on the shrine again and see."

Feng Chen clicked on the green dot for the shrine again. The landing spot was slightly off from the original direction, but the scenery before him was different.

It was all white... it was almost blinding Feng Chen's eyes. Now he understood why the System said his eyes would be blinded.

"Quickly turn it off... I'm going blind!"

"If you don't court death, you won't die."

In the Stigmata Space, Honkai shook its head, pulled out a virtual screen, and clicked randomly a few times, removing the white light in front of Feng Chen.

After searching the entire Yae Shrine, it was empty. This was a bit strange. Normally, Sakura would not leave Yae Shrine without reason. Since it was a dream, there was no setting about Honkai Beasts appearing near Yae Village.

"Where is Sakura now?"

"At the Shio-mi River outside Yae Village, the small river where Host first came to Sakura Cycle."

Feng Chen had a deep impression of that place, after all, the scenery there could be perfectly described by a few lines from a certain poet of Divine Land's "Picking Mulberries."

A small wooden bridge spanned the Shio-mi River. To the west of the wooden bridge was Yae Village, and to the east was the Bamboo Sparrow Forest.

Given Sakura and Kallen's personalities, they definitely wouldn't plan to spend their time alone by going near Yae Village, so it could only be the Bamboo Sparrow Forest to the east of the wooden bridge.

After all, once the Honkai Beasts were no longer a threat, the Bamboo Sparrow Forest was already a beautiful bamboo forest.

Another poet from Divine Land once wrote, "Sitting alone in the secluded bamboo grove, playing the zither and whistling." This shows that no matter when, where, or who, the love for bamboo forests can reach a certain level. (Speaking nonsense with a serious face)

And a white lily blooming in the green bamboo forest doesn't seem out of place, does it?
