"..."

Even the classmates from Canghai City were astonished.

But after thinking about it... how could that be possible?

It must be a different person with the same name.

Even if they were both young ladies, they could still have the same name.

Besides, our world doesn't have Honkai. Otherwise, why haven't we seen any of those massive Honkai Beasts?

It must be fake.

There were also some people who thought they were clever.

They believed.

This must be a parallel world!

Right...

If it's a parallel world, then it makes sense.

The Sky Curtain projection must have projected the situation of a parallel world to ours for us to see.

What's there to be confused about?

As Kiana's information was continuously revealed.

More and more people reacted in various ways.

Those who were friendly with her family were overjoyed.

They pondered whether they should get closer to the young lady.

Those who were enemies with her family considered, why not just kill her?

After all, the Sky Curtain exposed Kiana's future identity as a savior.

This undoubtedly had a terrifying impact on the current situation.

Even if it was fake.

Countless people felt that the young lady was definitely worth investing in.

Even many neutral fence-sitters would lean towards their side.

Reputation and momentum were too disadvantageous for them.

As for the Honkai crisis?

Apologies...

There were still many people who felt, what does that have to do with me? If I die, who cares about the flood.

People die for wealth, birds die for food.

It's nothing more than that.

However.

Before they could do anything.

The Vup in the Sky Curtain finished explaining the basic situation of the Herrscher of the End.

As if she thought of something, she couldn't help but complain to everyone.

[Honestly, Yuzu here has always felt that the Herrscher of the End is not of the same species as other Herrschers.]

[Think about it, the other Herrschers, although chosen, transformed from humans into Herrschers, even gaining powerful authority and strength, but if they are killed, they will die, and Honkai won't feel heartbroken.]

[...]

Herrschers are transformed from humans.

This was a conclusion recently researched by Flame-Chasing Moth.

Now.

It had been confirmed.

This made many people feel a bit strange.

It was as if they had finally arrived at an answer, but for others, it was already common knowledge, an axiom that needed no proof.

How absurd.

[But the Herrscher of the End is completely different.]

[She was a Herrscher from birth, it's just that she had never awakened until now.]

[...]

"Huh?"

[Even Honkai's gaze has always been on her.]

[If she unfortunately dies tragically, and cannot hold on until her final awakening, then Honkai will create a Herrscher of the End based on her body.]

[They say the Herrscher of the End is at full power.]

[...]

"???"

[And if the Herrscher of the End is protected well, during the final awakening, she can successfully awaken as the End.]

[If that happens, she will preserve as much of her will as possible, perhaps even overcoming the Honkai's temptation, and become our humanity's Herrscher of the End.]

[...]

"..."

[In fact!]

[It was precisely because our Goddess overcame herself in the end that the final trial was deemed a success.]

[Otherwise, it's truly hard to imagine.]

[Humanity in that era, having continuously fought the Honkai, was already exhausted. What strength would they have left to face the Herrscher of the End?]

[...]

[That would surely be a dead end, right?]

[...]

"Mmm..."

[To be frank!]

[There are still people who believe the Herrscher of the End is an unbeatable existence. The way to pass the final trial was never to confront the Herrscher of the End.]

[...]

"No, sis..."

"Wait, let's sort this out!"

"..."

Some were bewildered.

But others, who had intended to assassinate Kiana, were now in agony.

If Kiana died now, would she immediately become the Herrscher of the End, sending everyone to the afterlife?

And if Kiana didn't die, waiting until the last moment would offer a sliver of hope to "skip" the trial?

Although they all understood.

If this scene truly depicted history.

Then the future must have been successful.

This made it even easier to understand!

Even if they didn't know when the Herrscher of the End would appear.

If Kiana died before then, they would all be buried with her. As long as Kiana was kept alive, there was a bright future.

One thought leads to life, another to death.

This was too much, wasn't it?!

They couldn't kill her, they could only protect her?

"Brother, are we still going to act?"

"Act on what?"

"..."

If humanity could only overcome the Honkai in the future, that was a problem for the future.

At least they could enjoy themselves for now.

But if they all went out with a bang, laughing all the way.

Did they still want to enjoy themselves? Enjoy what, exactly!

The wealthier and more powerful people were, the more they didn't want to die, the more they feared death.

Without Kiana, the future might be doomed.

Compared to directly killing her and everyone ascending on the spot.

These were two entirely different things.

They understood this clearly.

"Let's go back and negotiate with that family. If their conditions aren't too harsh, we'll agree to anything."

Although Kiana's family probably wouldn't push their luck too far.

Still, having to do this... it was just so damn frustrating~

PS1: Second update is here. Will continue tomorrow, keep up the good work~~

012. Starting next issue, we'll rank the women behind Kiana?

In fact.

Putting others down to elevate oneself is nothing new.

Just like many political rivals, who were there beating their chests and stamping their feet, only to realize in a flash that they had been repeatedly jumping back and forth in front of King Yama, like they were doing a square dance.

If they made a wrong move.

Wouldn't that be a direct "heh heh"?

Don't get me wrong.

They really did intend to do something to Kiana back then.

Although it wouldn't go as far as killing her.

They would definitely have made an enemy of her.

Now, they are filled with regret!

If only they had known.

They should have gotten closer to her back then.

Even Kiana's siblings cried. At the time, they just thought their sister was a bit calculating and not easy to get along with. Plus, she was the legitimate daughter of the family, with inheritance rights, which made many people envious and dislike her.

Now it's all good.

There was once a strong leg to lean on right in front of them, but they didn't cherish it.

Now they want to go back on their word, but is it any use?

Belated love is cheaper than grass.

Especially at this moment, the Vup on the Sky Curtain, as she spoke, casually released a character illustration.

She said that she had specifically commissioned someone to draw it.
