Chapter 296
And so on.
In different regions and locations, people subconsciously thought of something.
Because the word "Finality" is just too sensitive.
They couldn't help but overthink it!
"Is she Young Lady from that world?!"
"Impossible! The Young Lady is one of a kind, as everyone has said in the future!"
"..."
Some scholars and experts also left messages and posted bullet comments online.
"Even if she's not the Young Lady, she should be the Finality of that world."
"Perhaps, like the Young Lady, Kiana from that world is destined for the Finality."
"Then, for some reason, her identity as the Finality was revealed, and her slight Power of Finality shocked the world."
"..."
Comments followed.
"If that's the case, then it certainly makes sense."
"Now look what's happened. Everyone's playing with fire. What will you do Finality out?"
"..."
Many people can even imagine that the arrival of the Finality, even if it's just a fleeting glimpse, would be enough to make Otto and Kevin in that world break out in a cold sweat.
Is that right?
You guys are the ones who cause trouble!
At this moment, in the sky.
Miss Void Archive continued her narration.
[The moment occurred 10,000 meters in the air, when the Honkai Energy reactor exploded.]
[Although the specific details are not recorded in great detail, even Kiana herself seems to be confused about them.]
[...]
However, based on actual simulations and descriptions from personnel involved at the time...
We can easily deduce the whole story.
[...]
She said.
Kiana, already pushed to her limits to combat the Herrscher of the Void within her, inevitably collapsed under the pressure of both mental and physical exhaustion.
The excessive Honkai Energy triggered her Finality form, awakening the Finality within her and briefly taking control of her body.
[...]
PS1: First update delivered, two more to come, keep it up!
283. Elysian Realm Eri hugged Kiana ~
[The Finality awakens, and great terror descends.]
[...]
[She merely raised her hand, and a domain, like ripples, instantly swept across the entire planet.]
That is the power of constraint, enough to dissolve all energy.
[Wind energy, electricity, thermal energy, solar energy... even Honkai Energy, quantum energy, and so on...]
Everything was taken away.
[...]
This caused the world to suffer a devastating blow and descend into terrifying chaos in an instant.
[...]
The Void Archive continued to speak slowly and deliberately.
Even in its brief description, it is enough to make one imagine how terrifying such a scene must be.
[The Floating Island of Schicksal crashed, reactors in various locations shut down, and some instruments even malfunctioned, causing various explosions, large and small.]
Even if the Finality didn't truly strike hard, nor did it fundamentally eliminate humanity's own energy, including bioelectricity, etc...
Yet that feeling of being almost completely stripped of power still left everyone in the world in a state of weakness.
Ordinary people are weak, Valkyrie, or other beings who manipulate Honkai Energy, are even more so.
[...]
She said.
[As if in an instant, the whole world fell into eternal silence and slumber.]
The whole world is in a state of panic.
[Including Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent.]
[...]
[Or rather!]
[Anti-Entropy is alright, but Schicksal and World Serpent are the ones who truly know of the existence of the Herrscher of the End. They were the first to detect the Honkai Energy concentration exceeding the limit, and the first to sense the aura of the Finality.]
They were caught off guard more than anyone else!
[...]
"I laughed! Why didn't you think of that earlier?"
"..."
"I have a question! Kevin participated in the previous War of the End, so he should recognize the Finality, right?"
"Doesn't he recognize the Young Lady's face? Doesn't he have any idea what K423 looks like?"
"..."
I guess they really didn't expect it to turn out like this!
If the Young Lady hadn't said anything, and there hadn't been any exposure from the sky, who would have thought that the Finality was actually directly promoted?
Death is the Finality.
To live is also to Finality.
The only difference is that one may be a king who is perfectly benevolent and virtuous.
But the other one is absolutely vicious and evil.
Kiana knew that even if her involvement was brief and fleeting, it would still have an immeasurable impact on the world of the Honkai Impact 3rd civilization.
So this time, when she was taking stock, she made an adjustment here.
Together with the system, we referenced the general future we saw there and made some simple corrections and improvements.
This is indeed more reasonable.
Once we're aligned with the standards, we won't make mistakes.
As for whether she'd be exposed or not, Kiana didn't really care anymore.
She is very relaxed now. All along, she has been like a spectator, watching the sky with everyone, complaining together, and even watching the complaints, and then enjoying it immensely.
Although in the end, the Finality didn't do much more than that, and even quickly withdrew its binding power, her appearance was like a hand grenade that exploded in the fishpond.
Even if, later, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, Durandal, takes her away and brings her back to Schicksal, Schicksal wouldn't dare do anything to Kiana. Once they realized she was a ticking time bomb, they had to deal with her properly.
[...]
The Void Archive spoke.
Miss Yuzu nodded and then spoke.
I know that.
[Afterwards, Schicksal invited the World Serpent Lord and the Anti-Entropy Leader to a meeting, where the three parties discussed the issue of Kiana.]
[...]
After learning that Kiana was an unawakened Finality Being, Otto completely abandoned any plans for the Sirin Project.
He decisively passed this hot potato to the World Serpent, in exchange for the Second Divine Key, Thousand Worlds, One Step.
The Anti-Entropy Leader advocated calming Kiana down and avoiding further provoking her.
However, the World Serpent Lord disagreed. Kevin said that Kiana had a more suitable place to go, the very heart of the World Serpent's territory.
[...]
"I remember Durandal, isn't that Bianca?"
"Yes, it's the True Kiana!"
"..."
People are still discussing it.
"To be honest, I even suspect that it was because Durandal was dyed that she lost her identity Finality."
"Otherwise, it doesn't make sense!"
"..."
"Exactly! Kiana's breasts aren't as big as my Young Lady's."
"?"
"???"
"..."
"Guards, throw him out!"
"..."
Meanwhile, on this side...
Elysia seemed to have thought of something, and appeared thoughtful.
"What Kevin over there is probably referring to is the Land of the Past."
She suddenly became excited.
"Oh, does that mean I can see Kiana in that other world?"
"I remember that after she sacrificed herself, she always wanted to see the Herrscher of the new era, to see Herrscher of Humanity like herself..."
"Kevin still remembers this!"
"..."
In fact.
Indeed.
Miss Yuzu spoke, Void Archive added.
They gave a brief introduction to the concept of "Land of the Past".
Then.
Kevin did indeed intend to invite Kiana to the Land of the Past.
He believed that his former companions there would guide Kiana well.
[The Finality were inhuman.]
But this time, Finality.
