Chapter 173
Kiana, hovering above the moon, exuded an incomparably sacred, sublime, and magnificent aura. Though her figure was slender, she seemed to possess an immense presence, filling the entire universe and posing an unparalleled threat.
Golden halos, one ring, two rings.
Small wings behind the ears, large wings on the back, and wings on the waist...
It's exactly the same pose as shown in the character illustration.
She was dressed in clothes that resembled a divine robe, yet also looked like a princess's gown.
The purple patterns adorned her fair skin, adding a touch of cool elegance, yet they were also quite beautiful.
When designing Kiana, the image of Aletheia from Honkai Impact 2nd was actually taken into account.
Because she felt that the initial character design wasn't good enough, she changed her mind and made adjustments.
The Finality depicted in the image.
He was not carrying any weapons.
Yet it seems that everything is a weapon.
Surrounded by clusters of planets, seemingly condensed into precious jewels, linked together and resonating, it resembled the vastness and magnificence of the cosmos.
On the moon.
The figures of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers are all present.
Some people recognized them, while others did not.
But they were simply unable to participate.
As expected, only Jana and Elysia truly made a difference.
Jana will be in charge of the direct confrontation.
Elysia is in charge of providing support.
Elysia tries to connect with Kiana's spirit.
We need to go deep into her heart and find her again, from her dreams.
"Miss Yuzu said."
[Some experts have suggested that before the Finality moment, the Young Lady visited Vilvi, perhaps hoping Vilvi would install a backdoor in her mind, making it easier for Elysia to infiltrate.]
[Otherwise!]
[Based solely on the strength of the Finality, she was practically invincible at that time. If she hadn't acted voluntarily, her spirit wouldn't have left any flaws.]
[It's said that once awakened, if controlled by the Honkai, one will lose their sense of self. But it's more like she's extended a personality, an instinct, manipulating her body, making her even more ruthless.]
[...]
She said.
In the very end, the Young Lady could no longer hide.
Besides, she's almost matured and it's almost time for her turn to take charge of a certain checkpoint. There's really no point in hiding any longer.
In the sky.
It's been revealed!
The Thirteen Flame-Chasers were given this title because they followed the Young Lady and were chosen by her.
With the Young Lady's help, the Flame-Chasing Moth still had quite a few Fusion Warrior remaining.
But they ultimately did not receive this honor.
That makes sense, of course.
You can see it!
Even in stop-motion animation, some clues can be seen in the footage.
The power of the Finality is world-destroying, like having a cheat code, and it doesn't reason with you at all.
The same applies to Jana.
The collision between the two was like a needle against a wheat awn, or Mars colliding with Earth; almost instantly, the entire moon disintegrated.
Large chunks of rock shattered and flew away.
Even until the very end.
The moon has been pierced through!
Like a cracked chocolate bar, riddled with fissures that spread and, accompanied by a blinding flash, completely transformed into space debris.
OK!
If this happened on Earth, the Earth probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"May you rest in peace, Sister Moon!"
"..."
But in the end!
Elysia summoned Kiana back.
Kiana seemed to have lost her strength for a brief moment, falling from the sky like a bird with broken wings.
Jana and Elysia rushed over and hugged her.
"This scene!"
"Sweet!"
"Sweet, sweet, sweet!"
"..."
"So, open your mind! Why do we have to choose one of two? Why can't we have both?"
"Yeah, what's there to argue about? I'm on both sides this time!"
"..."
For many people in reality.
This is yet another opportunity to copy someone else's homework.
Especially recently, they finally learned that Jana had arrived, and was not in a state of not yet arriving, foolishly asking the space agency every day.
As long as they know that she and Elysia are both by Kiana's side.
That's a sure thing!
As long as the Young Lady is kept stable, everything will be fine.
Doesn't this mean we don't have to worry about even the slightest potential problem?!
Yay!
This is the champagne popping season.
Meanwhile!
The video continued playing in the sky.
Miss Yuzu turned off stop-motion animations and even removed the character illustrations of Elysia and Kiana, simply displaying Jana's illustration as the current background, just like before.
She said.
According to records, everyone only knows that Lady Jana comes from the Centaurus Galaxy. But in reality! She was not born there.
[...]
[By referring to the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, we can understand this.]
The Honkai doesn't only occur in the solar system; it happens in other star systems as well. However, the civilizations in those other star systems were almost completely destroyed before it finally struck the solar system.
Therefore, the original Main World was not limited to the solar system. It should be much broader.
[However, with the arrival of the Honkai, the Honkai Energy zone continuously compressed the living space, ultimately resulting in its current form.]
[...]
She even said.
What we see in the Main World, the Centaurus Galaxy, may not actually be the Centaurus Galaxy.
It's possible that the location of that star system is somewhere in the Star Rail world, or even some other leaf nearby; that's not impossible.
In the past, Genshin Impact had False Heaven. That sky was inherently illusory; all the stars, their arrangement, resembled a painting, never truly real.
Perhaps the Main World was in a similar situation.
[...]
Or perhaps this is true for the vast majority of the world.
The vast nebulae you imagine are actually much smaller than you think.
[...]
However, after connecting to the Star Rail Universe and expanding continuously, such occurrences have become rare. It's like moving from a small pond to a boundless ocean.
[Without such a spirit of enterprise, the Star Sea Alliance wouldn't be where it is today, would it?]
[...]
The scene changes.
The vision of the Star Sea Alliance emerges.
The scenery is high-tech and has a unique style.
It was as if a thousand sails were racing, and all nations were paying tribute.
Walking on the road.
There are all kinds of people.
Both human and sub-human species are frequently seen.
Even if they had only seen silhouettes of them briefly in videos before, seeing them again now still deeply moved many people in real life.
I couldn't help but be captivated!
"Is that Fox Person? She's so beautiful!"
"All I want in my life is to marry a Fox Person- woman. Do you guys think I still have a chance?"
"..."
"Let's wait and see when it freezes."
[So!]
[Lady Jana, why are you in the Centaurus Galaxy?]
[...]
Some historians have suggested that she may have fallen asleep there.
Why does she lie dormant there? The most likely explanation is that she destroyed that galaxy. She has fallen into slumber, awaiting her next awakening.
[...]
PS1: Second update delivered, two more to come, keep it up!
170. Scared you, huh? Hehe~
[Some of you might not know what this means.]
We can say it like this!
[...]
Miss Yuzu started drawing on the screen.
Without a doubt, our Miss Jana is a world-destroying force from the moment she appears.
[Enough to destroy any planetary civilization.]
