Even If the Class President Stands in My Way, It's No Exception

Let's rewind to a few minutes ago.

The girl stood on the earth's crust, which was covered with corpses and [Ashes], gazing solemnly at the towering dome that was gradually cracking open the darkness.

Even if he could easily destroy this narrow space that resembled World Bubble, if the outside world was Sea of Quantum, then he would undoubtedly face a long and bewildering journey.

Now, she has concluded that there is a certain probability that this is not the world she is in, because the Herrscher Authority, which has been constantly reflecting her current situation since she arrived here, is telling her that this space is like bait locked in a cage, and... the spatial trajectory and fluctuations that can be clearly traced.

On the other hand, all the Magic City too weak and fragile. They clearly possess considerable level of Honkai Energy, and can sometimes stir up storms and tsunamis intertwined with the Heaven and Earth Qi. However, their actual combat strength is like that of a farmed pig, completely inconsistent with the level they possess. They are weaker than the Charge-class, and can almost be called pitiful.

What struck the girl as most odd was that during the large-scale cleanup using the power of the Herrscher of Flames, aside from the initial effort, she hardly needed to extract Honkai Energy from the Imaginary Space. All the flames that entered this space were like open flames in marsh gas, triggering a series of explosions and spontaneously generating a chain reaction.

Simply put, the demons here can't even control the Honkai Energy within themselves.

At the same time, all these uncontrolled Heaven and Earth Qi were vaguely surging towards that dark sky, and even the burning flames were being swept away by some unknown gravitational force to an unknown area.

Kiana can conclude that these Honkai Beasts are deformed creatures that were castrated and bred from the bottom up. As for whether these beings were deliberately produced or naturally conceived in the World Bubble, the answer can be easily found by combining traceable human traces and technological equipment embedded in the earth.

Although she felt a little guilty about damaging other people's private property after fully realizing this, it was unrealistic to expect outsiders to conduct regular inspections of this area, which was clearly a breeding farm and energy source, to check whether anyone had accidentally wandered in.

Therefore, Kiana has no other option but to annihilate most of this space, wait for the space to fluctuate more violently, and then use her Herrscher Authority to grab the trajectory and perform a spatial jump to the other side of the world.

The girl looked up at the sky, which seemed to have been etched with clear textures under high temperatures, and resembled flowing lava, and murmured hesitantly:

"If this really is some kind of strange Honkai Energy breeding ground, then after the flames created by these powers are absorbed... will anything really go wrong?"

She genuinely just wanted to get out of this weird, pitch-black place; she had absolutely no intention of causing trouble.

Could I really be hunted down for such a random reason as soon as I arrive in an unfamiliar place?

Surely... I can't be that unlucky?

Kiana thought for a second and judged:

"Never mind, let's talk about it outside."

No matter how she thought about it, she wasn't going to obediently stay here and wait for someone to open the door.

The Herrscher of Flames's power accelerated the molecular activity of everything in the world except for the girl, like a thermite bomb suddenly bursting out of a fish tank, enough to destroy the container itself in an instant.

However, the chains that stretched across the earth's crust like veins, and the black curtain in the sky, acted as supporting load-bearing walls, preventing the "fish tank" from exploding immediately.

But it's only a matter of time.

Kiana sat in mid-air, silently waiting for the moment when she would need to control another power. Compared to the Herrscher Authority, which she had only recently acquired, this power, which had accompanied her since birth... or even earlier than the birth of this consciousness, was much easier for her to handle.

She witnessed endless demons turn to [Ashes], and watched the sky crack inch by inch as black rain fell. The two intertwined in a world illuminated only by the embers, forming a hazy veil, then tinged with firelight and turning into scattered stars, just like ink splashed on rice paper, vivid and clear.

The girl's stern eyes reflected the magnificent panorama of heaven and earth. She silently awaited the opportune moment, her delicate face serene and solemn, showing a maturity far greater than when Su Qing'an first met her.

Thirty seconds later, a storm-like roar drowned out all the previous noise.

The sky was now completely covered with veins resembling magma, just like the core of the sun, brimming with unparalleled heat.

Kiana connected with her spatial manipulation power without hesitation. Just as she had thought, after regaining all her memories of Su Qing'an, she underwent a qualitative transformation in some way, making the power that she used to find difficult to use now very smooth.

Between the girl's azure eyes, her pupils gradually turned into a cross shape. In an instant, the dimensions and perspectives transcended the limits of mortals. The extremely complex concept of space had nowhere to hide in her pupils, and it was organized into a clear trajectory in the shape and lines that the human soul and brain could understand.

--Grab it.

--Tear it open.

Finally, take control of it.

She stretched out her palm, and the Herrscher Core in her chest continuously emitted Honkai Energy that could leverage power. In the instant her five fingers came together and pulled back, the rules of common sense became mere playthings.

As endless flames World Bubble, the dark rift, in the hands of the culprit, gradually grew larger, eventually enveloping and disappearing from sight.

But then this entire World Bubble, like a hot sphere compressed to its limit, shattered and exploded.

The flame that burned away the anchor point and chains of the sin domain, and even the entire World Bubble, was released all at once in the energy chamber in the size of a thumb-sized marble.

[Kunpeng]'s space folding technology instinctively hindered some of its power, but in order to prevent the Herrscher of Reason Core from getting lost and to stop that outsider, the intelligent system had already folded all the palaces inside. The flipped-over energy supply area then encountered a major problem at this time.

All areas have been completely sealed off by a band of light woven from thick metal and countless small seal script runes. In a world where liquid soul steel serves as a prison everywhere, endless constructs and mechanical creations are unavoidable obstacles. This should have been an indestructible net.

But the explosion of this World Bubble was like a nuclear bomb, unleashing indescribable heat and storms, like a bomb being transferred from one fish tank to another, melting and annihilating everything in the sealed environment.

Bronya stared blankly at all the obstacles pierced by the flames, suddenly recalling the battlefield eight years ago when that person first displayed such a posture, a battlefield that was also so magnificent and unforgettable.

A series of light bands and electromagnetic barriers overlapped around her, blocking most of the heat waves and shockwaves. Her gray hair, which was originally tied in a ponytail, was still blown loose by the strong wind, draped over her back that revealed her fair skin. Her beautiful face, facing the dry and smelly hot wind, had her lips curled up.

If it really was Kiana from that time, it truly was... a strange and miraculous encounter.

But isn't this good too? Reuniting with old friends you thought you'd never see again, even in such a bizarre way, is still something to celebrate.

At this moment, the voice of the Tome of Cangxuan resounded throughout the heavens:

"[Heavenly Eye] System self-check: Sequence Number FA31239 World Bubble Aquaculture Farm has reached the end of its lifespan for unknown reasons and can no longer provide energy."

"The [Heavenly Eye] system self-check has revealed that the Herrscher of Reason Core has been stolen by outsiders produced from the [Lostbelt], and it can no longer provide energy."

"Intelligently determined the optimal solution, activated backup Sequence Number FA31021 World Bubble Farm for quantum transmission, transferring Honkai Energy, expected to complete the connection within three minutes."

"Operation failed; the energy chamber is severely damaged and cannot be reconnected."

Bronya ignored the ever-emerging intelligent voice and used the power of the Herrscher of Reason to carve out a clear path amidst the indiscriminately burning flames.

Taking advantage of the explosion that cleaved the [Kunpeng]'s shell, she rode her motorcycle at full speed, soaring upwards, braving the relentless fire of her pursuers, and following the blue light trail into the sky.

The opponent's actions were a bizarre backstab to the [Kunpeng]'s mechanics that should never have happened in theory, turning what should have been an extremely bad closed-off battle into a new turning point.

At that moment, Kiana used spatial teleportation to leap directly to a higher point in the sky. She looked bewildered at the enormous thing that had clearly caused the massive explosion because of her, and felt incredibly panicked.

What's going on? What kind of bizarre world has she stumbled into?

This operation of using the World Bubble's resources to breed genetically emasculated Honkai Beast and then condensing them into energy supply points for warships is completely unheard of!

Even a ruthless Lord Bishop like Otto had never seen such courage.

So...

Since technology is so advanced now, there shouldn't be anyone inside this huge thing, right?

Her upright and kind nature made it difficult for her to accept that her actions had resulted in victims.

But in the next instant, the fluctuations of the Herrscher of Reason's power directly disrupted Kiana's thoughts.

Following the direction of the energy fluctuations, she clearly saw a person with a very familiar appearance riding a motorcycle through the white sea of fire, traveling through the air between translucent bands of light.

Kiana's lips moved silently, feeling utterly disgusted.

A natural intuition can almost immediately identify that it is a friend you know.

Bronya was just severely injured in the Dominion Theater, and even lent her core to that breath to help him. How could she suddenly be alive and kicking, having grown so many years older as if she had traveled through time, and now riding a motorcycle in the sky using the Herrscher Authority?

The sheer volume of information generated by these multiple paradoxes nearly caused her brain to crash.

But Bronya, who had escaped the blockade by using the other party's help, did the opposite and readily accepted this arrangement.

Although she had only arrived a few hours earlier than the white fluffy creature in front of her, her worldview had been overturned more than once during that time, and she already knew that once the [Lostbelt] phenomenon occurred, it was normal for all sorts of people to appear.

Imagine if most of the people you know in the entire Schicksal came here for a stroll, there's no need to be surprised if Kiana, whom you can no longer see in your own world, came here.

Even so, this idiot's arrival couldn't have been more timely.

The gray-haired beauty suppressed her indescribable joy, her lips unconsciously curving upwards slightly. She smiled brightly at her old friend standing in the sky and shouted:

"Idiot Kiana, come with me! Don't let those people catch you."

Kiana had no time to process what was happening before she found herself pulled into the arms of this giant Bronya and beginning to enjoy the dizzying spiral track and deadly speed.

She could barely notice that she was soon within arm's reach of an extremely magnificent Guanyin Tower, and the person embracing her was driving. The driver showed no sign of slowing down, and even accelerated, pressing the accelerator. The roar and vibration of the engine were deafening, but her heart was pounding even harder at that moment.

--Yes, I was scared.

However, Kiana's instinctive trust in her companions prevented her from directly using her powers to perform a spatial jump.

With the next breath, the spatial distortion on the wall in front of her was clearly reflected in her pupils, indirectly revealing Bronya's true objective and the reason for driving this way.

From Kiana's perspective, time seemed to stand still at this moment. The supersensory abilities granted by her recently elevated soul allowed her to perceive a greater number of things than ever before in an instant.

It's like some kind of strange state that's destined to fade away with time.

She could sense the massive army of constructs roaring relentlessly behind her, their hail of bullets losing momentum and falling to the ground within the electromagnetic barrier simulated by the Herrscher Authority. She could also catch a glimpse of a magical city behind her, a blend of ancient Shenzhou style and cutting-edge technology.

--Holographic projections create enormous human figures and billboards of various styles that rise and fall, with distant neon lights outshining nearby artillery fire. Floating islands of varying heights amidst the sea of clouds, clusters of skyscrapers, and flying vehicles of different orders intertwine to create a fantastical scene, while before them stands a compassionate Guanyin, holding a jade vase in her hand.

She leaned against Bronya, who had grown much larger, and her head could clearly feel a very soft and abundant texture against her skin.

--Hmm, this is definitely not the world I'm familiar with.

Time flows.

A sleek and futuristic motorcycle sped straight through the side of the Guanyin Tower, disappearing from sight as if by Hogwarts magic, leaving behind a large number of pursuers who had rushed to the tower but had to retreat due to His Your Highness's presence.

Bronya made no attempt to pause, riding her motorcycle directly into the newly opened Soul Steel Gate, heading straight for the inner side of the [Moon Worship Palace]. She brushed past the expressionless Li Sushang without causing the slightest ripple of surprise.

She slammed on the brakes, letting the tires screech across the ground. In the process, the Heavy Cannon Rabbit gradually transformed into a knight-like figure, its two mechanical arms gently embracing the two of them and gently placing them back on the spot. Then, it gradually entered quantum form and disappeared.

The gray-haired beauty leaned against the wall of the front hall, gently stroking the massive stone sculpture shaped like a Pixiu. She then turned her gaze to the white-furred ball of fur, who was still confused about the situation, and gave a complex smile, softly greeting it:

"It's safe now. Long time no see, Kiana."

Hearing that familiar yet nostalgic tone, Kiana's mind involuntarily conjured up a host of terrifying possibilities. She asked stammeringly:

"You are... Bronya?"

After seeing the other person nod in agreement with her guess, she hesitated for a moment and said:

"Um, did I just travel through time?"

Bronya couldn't help but laugh, but finding it amusing, she gestured for the other person to continue.

Kiana said seriously:

"It's that kind of sci-fi setting where Awakened and the outside world has flashed by seven or eight years. Otherwise, how could you suddenly become so big? It's like a child turning into an adult. It's hard to get used to. And I've never seen a warship that uses the World Bubble to raise Honkai Beast as its energy source."

From child to adult?

Bronya savored the phrase, then felt the gaze of a certain white fur ball sweep across her chest, and murmured:

What is my 3D measurement?

Kiana answered without hesitation:

"89, 56, 90."

Bronya, expressionless, pulled the pendant out with her hand, covering her chest. The power of the Herrscher of Reason wove new fabric into the openwork area of her dress, concealing her fair, soft flesh. She sneered:

"You're quite observant."

Kiana sensed a disdainful look in the other person's eyes that she had never seen before, and felt extremely guilty. The strange observation technique that Siegfried had taught her was already ingrained in her bones and she had mastered it to perfection before entering St. Freya Academy.

Bronya asked the question, and she could answer it without even having to think about it.

The girl replied, feigning composure:

"Observing human weaknesses is a soldier's instinctive reaction; even the smallest piece of data can help in the ever-changing situation on the battlefield."

She suddenly noticed the pendant in the other person's hand, a pendant that seemed quite familiar from her memory. Her eyes dimmed slightly, and she said softly:

"The pendant you're wearing is a gift Su Qing'an gave you that year. You must come from the world where that person entered St. Freya alive and eventually died in the Nine Nether."

Once the serious business was discussed, the earlier jokes naturally fell out of the way.

Bronya noticed the implication in the other person's words and asked:

"Kiana, do you mean you still have other memories of Xiao Su?"

Kiana replied:

"How should I put it? Before I came to this world, I was fighting against Thousand Herrscher. After defeating them, I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered a lot of memories about Su Qing'an."

She took out two Herrscher Core from her bosom, looked at the other person, and said softly:

"If your experience is similar to that of another Bronya, you should have a clear idea of what period it is."

Bronya had sensed the presence of another Herrscher of Reason Core earlier, so she wasn't surprised and replied:

"I know, but for me that was many years ago."

She sighed:

"We probably come from different timelines, but in this world, our existence is considered a [Lostbelt] phenomenon that shouldn't exist, so there doesn't seem to be anything to be surprised about."

Kiana resisted the urge to ask the other person a question first. She sorted through her memories and suggested:

"Let me tell you what I remember first. I have a feeling that recovering my memories of Su Qing'an is related to coming to this strange place. After I finish, you can tell me what information you know."

Bronya nodded in agreement.

Kiana continued:

"If we use a game analogy that we can all understand, he's like a player who infiltrates a world and, after dying, either restarts or arrives at an unknown point in time in another world."

She still remembered the first time she met him. Su Qing'an looked at her blank and confused expression. The loneliness and unease he felt made her want to pat him on the head and comfort him.

If that was the very beginning of my youthful journey, then it seems that the doubts and questions I had forgotten back then have now found their true answers.

She said:

"Bronya, you should remember how Su Qing'an and I met, right?"

Bronya traced back to distant memories, and said with a smile:

"I remember, you said that Xiao Su had a keen eye for talent, and as soon as she saw Miss Kiana, she felt that she could protect her shop, so she immediately offered you a high salary."

Kiana replied:

"Well, let's divide the memories into three parts for now. This encounter and the ending that you and I both know are defined as the third. Then, the timeline where I never met that person is defined as the first. And in the middle, there is a second, which is the timeline where I truly met him."

"It was still in a coffee shop, but by then I had already spent most of the money my dad left me, so I had to start working beforehand. That's how I got to know him by chance."

Bronya asked:

"What happened next? If Xiao Su only discovered that illogical phenomenon after his death, then he probably met with misfortune."

Kiana replied:

"Yes, he's dead."

"He was turned into Zombie by the high concentration of radiation during a Honkai. Before completely losing consciousness, he broke both of his arms, smashed all his teeth, called me an idiot, said he wanted to live well, and then died."

Bronya was silent for a while. She thought that this was really something that person would do. She just didn't expect that when the other party was at his weakest, when he couldn't even save his life from the basic Honkai eruption, he was already a person who was even more stupid than an idiot.

She said softly:

"So, he knew you back then, which is why he offered you a high salary after your first meeting?"

Kiana thought for a moment and said:

"Perhaps that's why I agree? That's why I believe what happened to Su Qing'an was a reboot, rather than a jump to a parallel world."

"Otherwise, there shouldn't be any sense of déjà vu."

Bronya asked:

"Do you know how Xiao Su withstood the Third Honkai Outbreak under such harsh conditions?"

Kiana recalled the scene when the other party had shown her that ancient book from Shenzhou, and hesitated before saying:

"I think it's because of the Class President's Void Sword Qi."

"Su Qing'an asked me about this back then, so he must have mastered part of it. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been any other factors that could have improved his Honkai Ability at that time."

The gray-haired girl habitually rubbed the side of the pendant with her fingertips, and whispered:

"Then, not long after the St. Freya Academy, he received Artificial Stigmata."

"Headmaster Theresa probably knows about this, Teacher Shara, as the School Doctor, should also be aware of it. Given Himeko's personality and the circumstances at the time, she was probably kept in the dark just like us."

After that, there was a moment of silence.

The two began exchanging a great deal of information about this world. Since Bronya had most of the intelligence, Kiana mostly listened silently as she learned just how complex and incredible the world they were in was.

In the end, Bronya asked the very question Su Muxi had asked her:

Kiana, if your very existence is merely a strange radiation phenomenon caused by Xiao Su becoming a higher-dimensional being and then spreading through his own records, would you feel that life is an illusion?

Upon hearing this, Kiana replied sincerely and earnestly:

"Perhaps. If everything that existed before was merely a phenomenon, then the 'I' I'm speaking to now is a reflection in an illusion, a dream destined to vanish once the anomaly is erased, a fleeting miracle that should never have existed in the world. It's understandable that I would have similar thoughts."

"But... I've always been this way, so even now, when an even greater illusion envelops me and negates me, I feel there's no need to despair or give up as long as I retain my own will. This is the most precious gift and lesson that everyone has given me along the way."

She suddenly laughed and continued:

"And Bronya, you know what? I'm really happy."

"As I recalled all my memories of that person, I wondered, even though I'm clearly stronger, it's strange that I've always been the one who received protection and care."

"Although I feel a little embarrassed, the way that person sometimes treats me is really like treating a child, and in the end, it all ends with that cool attitude. It's really frustrating, isn't it?"

The girl's delicate face showed a complex expression, and she softened her tone:

"So when I think about it all, I feel really resentful and sad, because in the world I live in, he's no longer there."

"Even if I remember, what's the use? If I just walk out of the Dominion Theater like that, all I'll likely find in the end is a grave."

Kiana's lips curled up, revealing a radiant smile:

"But things are different now. Whether I am an illusion or reality at this moment, the miracle itself has not changed."

"In fact, if this phenomenon was truly caused by the top-down radiation from that person's records, then it's almost as if Su Qing'an himself is telling us that he needs our help, isn't it?"

The girl said earnestly and firmly:

"I've decided what I came into this world to do: I want that fool to get the happiness and ending he deserves."

"Therefore, even if the squad Class President, it won't be an exception."
