Slumber

A massive explosion erupted from the center of the energy collision, leaving a deafening roar as everything in sight was razed to the ground.

Yomi calmly flashed forward again, gripping his knife, and engaged in another battle with the Herrscher before him.

From the ground to the air, each of their exchanges caused quite a stir.

If it were to miss and strike another location, its destructive power would leave indelible wounds on the planet's surface.

The final trial.

It was actually... a planet.

Yomi and the Herrscher had already ascended to a high altitude and caught a glimpse of the destroyed, shattered planet beneath their feet.

This is definitely not Izumo.

Yomi did not participate in the Great Honkai, but he saw Izumo after the Great Honkai occurred on the Ark.

That's definitely not how it is.

Yomi had just witnessed Kiana's attack in her Herrscherization form, and the Herrscher's moves were remarkably similar to Kiana's.

This kind of world... this puppet...

The Herrscher are completely unable to communicate.

Perhaps this is what Kiana once said about things that happened in other worlds.

"It's time to end this."

She held back completely, unleashing her full power, and terrifying life force poured forth from the blade.

The crimson slashes, like a tidal wave, engulfed the enemy and the entire planet in an instant.

In that instant, she vaguely glimpsed a past that didn't belong to her.

Before she could react, she was separated from the Tower and entered a pure white space.

A mysterious, deep purple crystal floated before her eyes, waiting for her to touch it.

Yomi didn't care about this crystal.

She frowned, lost in the memory of what she had just glimpsed from the past.

It was footage from after a war, seemingly... something that happened before the Herrscher pinned himself to the ground.

By the way, Sakura seemed to have mentioned that Kiana showed signs of losing control after leaving Izumo. Was it like that memory from the past that I just saw?

There was absolutely no joy in passing the trial.

She couldn't imagine Kiana becoming like that; she couldn't bear such a thing.

With a slightly darkened gaze, Yomi, determined to find Kiana and get some more information, finally focused his attention on the mysterious deep purple crystal before him.

"The reward is... Herrscher Core?"

This reward surprised her slightly; she hadn't expected that the reward for clearing the final trial would be Herrscher Core.

This is really...

She frowned and thought for a moment, but still reached out and grasped the mysterious core in front of her.

[A key figure in this world uses Herrscher Core to become the 'Herrscher of Thunder,' permanently increasing the Honkai Energy Concentration of the world (Izumo) to 100%]

[Successfully imprinted the 'rules' in this universe, permanently advancing the Finality Process to 100%]

[You've finished the newbie phase]

Kiana, who had just restored the shrine and was eagerly awaiting Yomi's return after passing the trials, was stunned by a sudden notification.

The ominous atmosphere that Izumo, the reaction of Honkai and nothingness intertwining and expanding, disappeared.

The power of the Void Fate that had persistently shrouded Izumo vanished the instant the notification sounded.

Dark clouds, gloomy rain, everything gloomy.

Nothingness, Honkai, and those Honkai Beast wandering everywhere.

In places unobservable by humans, Izumo has quietly undergone a dramatic transformation.

This planet, bound by the gravitational pull of nothingness and unable to escape, instantly severed all ties with nothingness.

I felt it, I saw it...

Kiana looked up at the sky. The dark clouds that had covered Izumo had completely dissipated, and the Black Sun had disappeared without a trace.

Her eyes were slightly dazed. The barrier that had surrounded her, isolating her from Honkai energy, disappeared, and she was once again exposed to the air of Izumo.

However, she was not corrupted by the extremely high concentration of Honkai energy this time, not because she had completed her Herrscherization.

Instead...

"Honkai energy... gone?"

No, it didn't disappear.

Kiana stared blankly at her hand; it was all of it, absorbed by her.

This world...

155

Chapter 155 Sleep.

She had a very strange feeling, as if she could do anything she wanted.

To verify her suspicions, Kiana used her sudden power to revive life in the wasteland.

The seed sprouted and germinated, and the planet came back to life in that moment.

But a weariness emanating from the depths of her soul also enveloped her tightly. Kiana shook her head, not quite fully awake, trying to stay conscious amidst this sudden turn of events.

She hadn't even asked Mei what happened.

He was just going to climb a tower, so why did he get the Herrscher Core and become the Herrscher of Thunder?

"What's going on...?"

I couldn't resist the urge to fall asleep.

Consciousness seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, attracted to want to enter another dimension.

Kiana?

Awakening from the trial, Yomi opened his eyes to a familiar scene and Kiana, who was holding her forehead and looking pained.

Kiana's face looked terrible.

They had no time to pay attention to anything else.

Yomi's heart tightened, and he stepped forward to help Kiana, but Kiana held his sleeve tightly.

She seemed to be struggling to open her eyes, but upon seeing herself, the pain she had just felt was replaced by joy.

What happened?

There was absolutely no time for her to react.

Kiana, as if struck by a sudden realization, understood the situation. Forcing herself to stay awake, she quickly said, "I've completed the final stage and am about to enter a period of slumber. Don't worry, I'm fine, I just need to... rest..."

Having said what she wanted to say and seeing Yomi wake up, Kiana, relieved, could no longer resist the urge to fall asleep. She grabbed Yomi's sleeve and closed her eyes.

"Kiana? Kiana?!"

Yomi tightened his grip on his lover's hand and anxiously called out Kiana's name, but received no response.

Why Kiana suddenly going into a deep sleep again?

Because the final process has been completed?

Kiana tried many methods, but she couldn't complete the final progress.

What just happened?

Holding Kiana, Yomi was in a state of utter confusion, having to accept that Kiana had fallen into a deep sleep without knowing the situation.

Objectively speaking, Kiana's current slumber should be a good thing, because what Kiana is pursuing is to complete the final process.

After this period of slumber, according to Kiana's deduction, she should no longer be at risk of losing control.

That kind of situation is impossible to occur during the trial.

The shrine has been restored to its original state.

The power of nothingness and all that Honkai energy had vanished, and Yomi couldn't understand what had happened.

Doubts piled up like mountains, and the only person who could answer them was fast asleep in her arms, leaving Yomi with no one to ask.

These all seem to be good things.

Yomi silently picked her up and carried her into the shrine.

I thought everything inside the shrine had long since decayed, but it wasn't just the outer courtyard that was restored to its original state.

These were all... made by Kiana?

Looking at the layout that was all too familiar, Yomi Quan paused for a moment before taking no further hesitation and placing the person in his former bedroom.

Kiana's so-called "sleep" was definitely not just a simple nap. She was thinking about what happened after the Great Honkai eruption, after which Kiana also fell into a deep sleep.

"This time, I won't leave again. I'll stay by your side and never go anywhere else."

She gripped Kiana's hand tightly, her gaze fixed firmly on Kiana lying before her.

Yomi Quan had never truly gotten over the fact that Kiana had tricked her into leaving and having Sirin send her back to Izumo.

There was a lot of commotion just now in Izumo.

What you can feel inside is far less awe-inspiring than seeing it with your own eyes from outside the planet.

The two tightly intertwined forces suddenly disappeared, and the gloom vanished in a completely illogical way.

The Nameless Ones were waiting witnessed firsthand the changes on this planet and its visible revival.

"Himeko, Dan Heng, look!"

March 7th was practically glued to the windowpane, excitedly pointing at the planet outside. "It's alive! It's back to life!"

"This..."

The train had been to many places, and Dan Heng also enjoyed spending time in think tanks. He looked at Izumo with shock in his eyes.

He had never seen anything like it before.

The power covering this planet was nothingness, and the appearance of energy that assimilated and eroded nothingness was already shocking enough, but he never expected to see something even more shocking.

"Was it Kiana and the others who made it?"

On March 7th, he immediately thought of the two people who had just gone to Izumo to look for Welt, and clenched his fists excitedly.

"Now that those uncomfortable energies have disappeared, can we land on this planet?"

"This is very abnormal."

Putting nothingness aside for now, what about another type of energy called Honkai energy?

That kind of energy can even erode and assimilate nothingness. After testing, this planet seems to be an incubator for that kind of energy, trapped inside an eggshell.

How could they all suddenly disappear?

Fluctuations are still difficult to detect.

The hatchery inside the eggshell...

Could it be... that the Honkai energy on this planet isn't just growing aimlessly, but is there a purpose to give birth to some kind of being?

If that's the case, then this world...

The ecosystem is recovering at an extremely rapid pace, and greenery is gradually becoming visible amidst the azure sky.

Something's wrong. Something's very wrong.

There is no Abundance power here.

"Something's not right! We need to go find Uncle Yang too! Uncle Yang's still down there!"

March 7th didn't feel there was any danger below. She looked at the planet that was recovering at an extremely rapid pace, and took out her phone. "Let me see if I can contact Uncle Yang and the others."
