Chapter 309
You need to know.
If it's Aha.
He desperately wanted Alila to know that he was the one who did it, and he wanted the whole world to know what he had done.
Clown mask, bizarre laughter. These are her trademarks.
But... there really isn't one!
"It's alright, let me think about it some more." Kiana smiled slightly, comforting the somewhat bewildered Alila.
Alila slightly.
Elysia smiled and simply pulled her to sit on the sofa.
We talked about other things, and she found them incredibly interesting.
The other girls glanced at each other and didn't disturb Kiana.
Kiana's Mother smiled gently and asked, "Would you like some fruit?"
"Yes!" Elysia said in a childish, sweet voice, sounding very endearing.
Perhaps seeing her like this, Alila couldn't help but relax a little.
Mobius, like the other girls, sat down.
Kiana too.
She sat down, lost in thought.
He casually picked up the cup on the table, raised it slightly, and gestured for Jana to pour him a glass of water. But when he turned around, he saw Aponia instead.
"Miss Jana went to the parent-teacher conference with Rin and Seele."
"They probably won't be back until the afternoon."
"..."
Aponia explained.
Kiana nodded slightly.
As if nonchalant.
Because her mind was still focused on communicating with the system and analyzing the situation together.
Kiana now clearly realizes that although Alila's sudden appearance caught her off guard and even made her feel uncertain, she couldn't seem to stay calm.
But if that's true, we need to understand the whole story.
I need to calm down and clear my head. I need to organize my thoughts properly!
Then!
The first thing to understand is why what was originally thought to be a fictional Worldline has now become a real individual.
Once it truly exists, what is its mechanism? What are the reasons? What is the cause of its emergence?
This, too, needs to be studied.
We project a celestial screen, stimulating the audience, generating emotional energy, and transforming it into faith.
This would allow our future to shift towards a better Worldline, and with our efforts, even better possibilities might emerge.
[...]
Simply put, we always have a future, and this future, through our adjustments, anchoring, narrowing, or alteration, will move closer to other possibilities, other futures.
[As long as other possible futures that we observe overlap with the trajectory of our actual future.]
This proves that our future will move towards that Worldline.
This is precisely the principle that drives the Worldline to become better.
[...]
However, this does not mean that the Worldline we actually follow does not exist. Even if it is more easily altered and prone to deviation than any other Worldline, it is still our Worldline.
Or rather, the real future.
[...]
The system spoke calmly.
Instead of giving a direct explanation, they guided the conversation step by step.
But Kiana seemed to understand something.
At this moment.
The system continued.
Emotional energy, the power of faith—anything goes.
With these, we can make the more likely future clearer, more certain, and more concrete.
[...]
Since that's the case!
[As a future that all people in the world firmly believe in, even if it is the most easily shaken and the most false, it is not impossible that it could completely become real under the influence of a certain opportunity.]
[...]
She said.
Indeed!
Even if this Future World were to become reality, it would still constantly change because we continuously adjust our plans and make choices.
It was fragile, illusory yet real.
A person who was present just a moment ago may be gone the next.
[Because in the past, her ancestors had problems. This is all possible.]
[...]
But if that's the case!
So.
Wouldn't such a world be incredibly terrifying? Incredibly horrifying?
Even just thinking about it for a moment is terrifying.
It was like a nightmare!
PS1: Third update delivered. More tomorrow, keep it up!
297. Because your subconscious believes you exist, you must exist.
For example.
The person you like has suddenly become someone else.
Someone who likes you suddenly dislikes you and speaks ill of you.
The interpersonal relationships that should have been familiar underwent a dramatic change in an instant.
The poor become rich, and the rich become poor.
What's rightfully yours has nothing to do with you. You wake up and the sky has fallen...
Could it be!
Don't you think this is terrifying?!
Everything, everything, originated from a change at the source.
If the past was disordered, the future will also be distorted.
It's like someone who should have become a god, but couldn't.
After he becomes a god, the cosmic order he influences will be shaken, and may even be completely reversed.
Is this how it should be?
But what's even more terrifying is...!
You don't even know if you will still exist tomorrow, or if your ancestral lineage will continue as it does today.
Even parting may come unexpectedly.
Who could accept something like this?!
"If... that's really the case..."
Kiana pondered deeply in her heart.
The system's meaning is quite clear.
There was indeed no future Worldline before.
The entire Future World, the entire background, everything was perfected by her, bit by bit.
Subsequently, they were believed by people around the world, and with the support of countless faiths, they truly became nodes in countless futures.
It's like a larger, isolated island.
Ultimately, it was more stable than other ships, and it rose above the water, standing tall on the sea.
But!
It is precisely because it is like a future node of convergence.
Regardless, it is more likely that one will lean towards it.
It is indeed like our downstream.
Upstream, on Kiana's side, in the Main World, at this point in time, regardless of what has happened...
Downstream, everything will be stirred up, creating waves, even raging torrents.
That's something that can't be stabilized at all.
It might not even be as good as the World Bubble!
Because.
She has secured her position.
But!
It still relies on the present.
What's even more frightening is that the actions of countless people today will influence the future.
Each time, Kiana sorts things out, adjusts, seeks a better future, and makes corrections.
Whether it's grafting, pushing forward, or rewriting, she is free.
But! In that future era, they could only be molded like clay, at their mercy.
They will never truly settle down.
They don't even have the power to make the decision!
Their world, and they themselves, are all influenced by this past era.
Who can survive? Who is still alive?
What can anyone do...?
Of these, Kiana's will is the strongest.
You could even say that she is the source of all this. Sitting upstream, whether the river is polluted or clear, even if the tributaries are changed or dams are built, the downstream can only do what it wants.
"When did they begin to transition from the virtual to the real?"
Kiana took a deep breath, oblivious to her surroundings, and continued to ask the system in her mind.
She couldn't imagine that she had corrected the Worldline so many times every day, monitoring, managing, and even converging many nodes.
This Future World, which shouldn't exist but already does, has undergone countless upheavals.
