Was She Really Only Interested in Honkai?

"Izumo of being swallowed by nothingness is sealed, and all I can do is take a gamble."

Kiana said with a complicated expression, "I bet that once the Honkai energy covers the entire world, it can dispel the influence of the Void and save this shattered world from its grasp."

"Therefore, I had no choice but to forcibly transform into Herrscherization, unleashing Honkai energy to cover the entire world and rewrite its rules. My idea wasn't entirely wrong, but I hadn't anticipated that while the Void could assimilate and erode the power of the Void, Izumo had already slipped into the vicinity of the Void."

"Without a doubt, it failed. The power of nothingness is inexhaustible, and the Honkai energy trying to assimilate the entire world, so things have stalled."

"It has been constantly assimilating the power of nothingness, which has caused Izumo to bear more and more Honkai energy, turning it into what it is now."

After recounting her experiences in Izumo, Kiana added to Ruan Mei, "My progress has also been completely stalled."

Ruan Mei closed her eyes and pondered.

"It was because of this unexpected event that you were affected by the void, fell into a deep sleep, and lost your Remembrance..."

"... Yes."

You should have told me this sooner.

Ruan Mei opened her eyes and looked at Kiana: "No need to go back, let's go to Tenhutou Rock."

"No, Izumo is no longer important."

Kiana's expression was complicated as she said, "Unless we completely sever the Izumo and the Void, going there would be pointless."

"The only way to stop all of this is perhaps when I reach 100% completion of my Herrscherization."

But only Jana remains in Izumo.

The system didn't help her progress during their last meeting, and now that Izumo due to a system crash, it probably can't offer her any more assistance.

We have no choice but to find another way.

"If that place won't work, how about choosing a world far away from the Aeon? Let's bind to another world and start from scratch."

She definitely has to go to Izumo.

But Kiana's point is valid; that world is stuck at the final step of transformation, and without resolving this issue, there will be no gains.

"I... have this idea."

To solve the problems of Izumo Honkai, her only way at present is to max out the permanent Herrscher process.

"That's easy, let's go back and try it."

No, not there.

Kiana shook her head and said, "I've traveled through many worlds, but I haven't received any notification that I can bind to anything."

Can't?

Are there implicit conditions?

Ruan Mei lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Is it because the previous goal hasn't been achieved yet, or is there some hidden requirement?"

Kiana's appearance in Izumo may not be a coincidence, but rather a deliberate Honkai by Honkai.

Because that's a suitable place.

There may be one challenge after another.

But Ruan Mei felt it was unlikely.

It seems that some implicit condition is missing.

"... I don't know which one it is, but..."

Kiana glanced at Yomi, who remained silent, and said in a lower voice, "It should be the second one."

Because there was a phrase back then, 'This world's compatibility with Honkai,' Kiana guessed that this was an implicit requirement.

"Reason?"

"When I selected Izumo, I heard Honkai remind me that Izumo and Honkai have an 87.9% compatibility rate."

"Compatibility?"

Ruan Mei frowned. She had studied Honkai on Kiana for a long time, but she really couldn't see anything like this.

Kiana's Honkai energy can assimilate and erode any kind of energy.

How can this be verified?

If Kiana knew, she wouldn't be in a difficult position now, saying that she wasn't really sure either.

"Actually, I have a goal."

"If Mei doesn't see my message and come looking for me, and if you ARuan, don't suddenly tell me I'm coming back, I'll probably go there and give it a try."

Does Kiana know what compatibility is?

Ruan Mei raised an eyebrow, her interest fully piqued. She felt a pang of regret for missing the changes Kiana had caused in Izumo.

It would be wonderful if we could replicate it.

As for the potential accidents, isn't it just using a planet as a testing ground?

This isn't even a problem.

Ruan Mei felt it was worthwhile.

Chapter 96: Is he really only interested in Honkai?

Ruan Mei was no ordinary person to begin with.

She only does what interests her, and she doesn't care what others think or what the consequences might be.

Once the finishing touches are done, that's it.

You should know that she's the kind of person who dares to research even things that others avoid like the Propagation.

Yomi frowned, seemingly disagreeing.

Where should we try?

Kiana hesitated, struggling for a moment before slowly uttering a name that was unfamiliar to them, but deeply etched in Kiana's memory.

"Jarilo -VI."

What is the compatibility between Izumo and Honkai?

Kiana believes that compatibility is based on similar people and similar experiences.

After figuring out this crucial information, the name of a world appeared in her mind.

That's Jarilo -VI.

Compared to Honkai, Jarilo has absolutely no Honkai to Cocolia, Bronya, and Seele (the mother and daughter).

It can't compare to Izumo.

Even if Kiana bets right, the compatibility with Jarilo -VI will definitely be very low, not even 50%.

But she wanted to take a look.

Once the system pops up a confirmation message, she can be 100% certain of her guess.

The so-called "fit" refers to the Honkai world.

This is important.

The progress bar, which was progressing gradually, got stuck in Izumo, so she had to find another way.

"Jarilo -VI?"

It's a world I've never heard of.

Ruan Mei began investigating in front of her.

"So, the next stop is there?"

Yomi had also never heard of this world, nor did he know what Kiana meant by compatibility.

The ordinary world is not enough.

Certain requirements must be met.

What aspect does "fitting" refer to?

"This world, like the company, has a belief in Preservation. However, records show that this planet was invaded by the Antimatter Legion hundreds of years ago, and contact was lost long ago."

Ruan Mei quickly found information about Jarilo, but it was all information from several hundred years ago.

The information still comes from the company.

He has already been sentenced to death.

Having encountered the Antimatter Legion, and having lost contact with it hundreds of years ago, this world is likely already extinct.

"Some people survived; the planet hasn't completely died out."

"It hasn't been extinguished yet? It must be the power of Preservation protecting that planet."

If the people on that planet were capable, they wouldn't still be out of contact.

Kiana's claim that some people are still alive likely refers to those who have barely survived thanks to the power of Preservation.

What's so special about this world?

Does Kiana really need this sudden catastrophe, a world on the verge of complete annihilation?

Does Honkai need a dying, collapsing world as a breeding ground for incubation?

Ruan Mei made a bold guess.

Without commenting on the Preservation, Kiana simply said, "If nothing unexpected happens, my next stop should be Jarilo -VI."

"Although I can't be sure yet, if I go there, at least I can confirm the answer there."

"I'll go with you."

Ruan Mei looked up, snapping out of her reverie, and decided, "Let's go back and make some preparations, determine the sailing route, and then I'll go with you to see the world you mentioned."

"But I can't be sure yet."

Kiana was flattered when she heard Ruan Mei say that she wanted to go to Jarilo -VI with her.

What if I guess wrong?

Then their trip would have been in vain.

Kiana was a little worried. She didn't care about the outcome herself, but calling Ruan Mei over for something she wasn't sure about would be a waste of Ruan Mei's time if it turned out to be a pointless trip.

"So what?"

Ruan Mei said, "Trial and error is also a necessary step in experimentation."

Yomi stopped Kiana, who was about to say something, and said, "Whether it's true or not, we'll have to go and see for ourselves. Waiting until you've confirmed it before letting us know will only waste more time."

She didn't want Ruan Mei to travel with them, even though it was their first meeting. Ruan Mei's Kiana made her feel uncomfortable.

Especially after hearing what they just said.

There was no hostility, not to that extent, but there was some complexity and unease.

"All right."

Whether it's Ruan Mei or Mei, they're both saying this now, so Kiana has no way to refuse anymore and can only nod.

Jarilo -VI is not dangerous either.

That means it will take two days.

Kiana felt relieved.

The spaceship returned after several days of travel. The days passed peacefully, except for the somewhat tense conversation between Yomi and Ruan Mei on the first day. Otherwise, nothing unexpected happened to the two of them.

Because they hardly speak.

Yomi is different from before; now she basically doesn't speak when it comes to unnecessary matters.

Ruan Mei was immersed in her own world. She didn't like socializing to begin with, and she was even less likely to waste her time on other people.

"Wait one more day, we'll set off tomorrow."
