What a Relief. / You're My Wife, Right?

"You're right, but Raiden Mei is different. No matter where you are, Emanator- level being can never be ignored, especially since Raiden Mei is the most special Emanator of that Aeon."

"The Xianzhou has no shortage of Emanator, but Mei's special circumstances, we can probably only get you one admission ticket..."

That's enough.

Bronya continued, "I will handle the communication with the Xianzhou; all we need is a ticket."

Kiana seemed to understand, but not quite.

Seeing that she was no longer asking questions, Bronya picked up her newly written report and began her presentation.

It's clear she put in the effort.

She went into much more detail than Sirin did.

If Sirin's words were just a framework, then Bronya is now filling that framework with flesh and blood.

We talked for a long time throughout.

Near the end, Bronya had said almost everything she wanted to say and answered many questions, showing that she was very serious.

Everyone asked some questions, but Yomi remained silent throughout, simply listening quietly.

She was deeply influenced by nihilism.

In this situation, it's best to stay silent and listen quietly. If you say too much, you might forget it yourself someday.

But at the end, after listening to the whole thing, Kiana asked a rather curious question.

"So, will the Ark then become a symbol of the Void faction, active in the Star Sea?"

She was just curious.

But the others fell into an eerie silence.

The meeting room suddenly fell into a deathly silence. Even Kiana, who was usually oblivious to things, could sense that something was wrong.

"Um, I mean, like the Chaos Doctor?"

She added cautiously.

"Nothingness... If I had a choice, I really wouldn't want to get involved with this being."

Finally, Bronya, who seemed very reliable, spoke first. She turned off the demonstration screen and smiled at Kiana, saying, "More than nothing, we actually want to be your followers."

Kiana stared wide-eyed in shock, pointing at herself incredulously. "Me?"

"Yes, after all, everyone is dealing with the Honkai. And without you, we wouldn't be able to leave Izumo, let alone create a new Izumo."

"Kiana, if you so desire, just give the order and we will immediately support you as the master of the Ark and become your followers!"

Sirin patted Kiana on the shoulder with a smile, whether jokingly or using the joke to tell the truth, it was unclear.

Chapter 135 The stone falls to the ground.

Become Kiana's follower.

This was something that the people on the Ark had never considered before. Even Kiana's identity as the 'savior' only became deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts long after Izumo was destroyed.

They had been traveling for a long time.

I've broadened my horizons.

Only then did they finally understand what they had faced back then, and what kind of existence the Aeon of Nihility truly was.

In that situation, Kiana created an opportunity to pull them out of the Eternal Waltz, and the remaining Stigma even helped them resist the corruption of the void. What else could Kiana be but a savior?

The more knowledge and experience one has, the more one can sense Kiana's extraordinary nature.

They already understand.

The Aeon is the biggest backer in this universe; almost every well-known power has a connection with the Aeon.

Although most of them are just one-sided followers, this is enough to prove the importance of the Aeon.

So what about the Ark?

What about them, who want to establish themselves in the universe?

Which Aeon should they follow?

First, eliminate the possibility of nothingness.

But those who escaped from the depths of nothingness all bore the mark of nothingness.

Even if he said he was following another Aeon, probably few people would believe him.

Unless...

Like Xianzhou.

Because the Xianzhou Alliance has been hunting down Abundance Pest all over the world, many people have almost overlooked one thing.

If you disregard the Hunt standing behind them, you'll find that the Xianzhou Alliance is actually the largest and Abundance force.

But because of the birth and preference of the Hunt.

Everyone knows that although the Xianzhou native are blessed with Blessing of Abundance, they are also the sharpest predators on the Hunt.

No one knows how the Aeon was born; there are many different theories about Aeon origin in the universe.

"I'm not Aeon!"

Kiana was startled and stood up, unsure whether Sirin was joking or not.

My mind is in complete turmoil.

"I'm an outsider. You can handle the Ark's affairs yourselves. I don't understand these things."

She spoke much faster; the issues on the Honkai side weren't even resolved yet, and the Ark side was already saying she could be her follower.

Are you kidding me?

She's not Aeon, nor does she have any grand ambitions, so why would she need followers?

Moreover, she failed to protect Izumo, Izumo was destroyed in the Great Honkai —this is an indisputable fact.

"I was just kidding."

Sirin wasn't surprised by her reaction, and said, "However, I don't agree with you. As far as Ark is concerned, you're not an outsider."

"If you're willing and don't mind, this is your home too."

She said this quite seriously.

Kiana's heart skipped a beat.

Somewhat lost in thought, he stared at Sirin, who was speaking earnestly. She wasn't joking; she was speaking from the heart.

Shocked, Kiana turned her gaze to the others; Sirin's words were far more powerful than the previous ones.

"Sirin is right, Kiana, you are our benefactor. As long as you are willing, the Ark is your home."

Home...

Those are truly... heartwarming words.

Kiana.

Yomi suddenly reached out and grasped her hand; the warmth from his palm invigorated Kiana.

"Thanks."

She neither accepted nor rejected it.

The Ark continued on its original course, and Kiana didn't listen very attentively to the ensuing discussion.

Well, how should I put it?

After hearing what she just heard, she felt a bit conflicted, unable to quite describe the feeling.

"Um, Kiana, if what I just said bothered you, I apologize."

After the meeting, Sirin found a chance to be alone with her, pulling her aside to talk in a corner by the window.

"No, no, I was just a little surprised."

Kiana vehemently denied that she had been influenced by Sirin's two sentences.

"I'm not Aeon, and I don't even know what I want to do, so how..."

She stopped speaking with a wry smile, and I'm sure even without her saying it, Sirin knew what the unspoken sentence was.

"Besides, Honkai isn't a good thing; it's not much better than nothingness."

"Um... Kiana, are you misunderstanding something?"

Sirin paused slightly, seemingly understanding why she seemed distracted, and smiled, "What we really want to follow isn't the Honkai, but you— Kiana."

"... I?"

"Of course it's you."

As she spoke, Sirin nodded to herself, "You've helped us a great deal, not just with Izumo's matter, but even now your help to us is still invaluable."

"The Stigma and equipment you left behind have helped us through many difficulties. We are also able to trade so easily with other civilizations thanks to what you left behind."

"Also, it's all thanks to you that we were able to establish a connection with the Herta Space Station."

"Me, me?"

Kiana was quite surprised; she had almost forgotten about the things she had left behind, since they held little meaning for her now.

She's now a pure stat-obsessed monster.

Just like in a game, no matter how much you stack damage, it can never exceed a certain threshold.

"Of course!"

It turns out that those seemingly insignificant things, after they fell into a deep sleep, actually helped the survivors on the Ark.

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief.

Kiana, don't underestimate yourself. You are actually far more important than you think.

Kiana was a little embarrassed by the praise, unable to suppress a smile, and scratched her head, saying, "It's not as important as you say, it's all the result of your own hard work."

"But if you don't even have a chance, then there's no point in trying."

Sirin said.

"... Thanks."

"If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be us thanking you."

Seeing her regain her energy, Sirin also smiled warmly.

Kiana blushed slightly at her words; it was the first time someone had praised her like that. And... ever since she regained her Remembrance, the heavy weight that had been pressing on her heart had finally truly disappeared at this moment.

But that's all for now.

Raiden Mei wasn't around right now, and there was no one else here, so the doubts that had been bothering her were once again shrouded her.

She coughed softly as if to cover up her embarrassment, and asked, "Kiana, what's going on between you and that Ms. Ruan Mei?"

"Don't misunderstand!"

"I didn't have any other intentions, I was just a little curious! Really, just a little curious, after all, Raiden Mei is my comrade-in-arms!"

Kiana, feeling refreshed and invigorated with a light heart, hadn't had time to celebrate for long before she heard Sirin's words.

This question made her teeth ache.

Was it really for his comrades?

I don't believe it.
