Chapter 327

They had originally planned to go to the Land of the End with Kiana.

Kiana also declined.

Let's say next time.

This time, Kiana's journey to the Land of the End was much faster than before.

I knew the ropes well, and there wasn't much to say about it.

After arriving at the Land of the End.

It remains an eternally magnificent starry sky.

The Milky Way seemed to be right beneath my feet.

The Cocoon of the End gone.

It's like an unchanging dream painting.

I never get tired of looking at it.

"Um?"

Suddenly.

Kiana seemed to sense something.

Then, right in front of me, a figure transformed from an illusion into reality.

A familiar face, a familiar figure.

Although the clothing was somewhat different, the atmosphere was also slightly ethereal.

But without a doubt.

This is indeed myself, my future self.

She just looked at 'Kiana', and 'Kiana' looked back at her quietly.

Even with the ability to observe the Worldline and to manipulate, modify, graft, and cut it at will, Kiana never imagined that such a day would come.

After all, in her opinion.

Only the era in which one lives is right.

Any other future, any other Worldline, is merely a reference; it is all false and can be changed at will.

But it is obvious.

She can't control everything.

That's why we're in this situation now.

Just like!

It was destiny!

"In the history you know... is there such a meeting as this?" Kiana asked knowingly.

'Kiana' smiled gently, 'In the future you know... have you seen this before?'

In the end.

They both laughed.

It's like me in real life, looking at myself in the mirror.

It was only a few steps away.

But it seems so far away.

Yet it also seems so close, almost within reach.

Yes.

The future is the past, and the past is the future.

In this special space-time known as the Land of the End, all concepts are insignificant, and all rules seem to be able to be arbitrarily erased and distorted.

As long as the individual named Kiana is willing.

No problem!

It can be done!

And at this very moment.

Kiana began to walk, heading towards 'Kiana'.

'Kiana' smiled knowingly and walked towards Kiana as well.

They eventually touched their right palms together gently.

First the fingertips, then the palms.

Finally, their hands clasped together.

It's as if a connection has been established in the unseen realm.

No need for much explanation... because they are the same person.

There's no need to seek each other's trust... because they are the same person.

All doubts were resolved at this moment.

Because... they are the same person.

"The so-called future world... is not the real future..." 'Kiana' said unconsciously.

"Because that is a world I imagined... a spacetime that I truly created..." Kiana understood.

"Because it was a world that was born by accident and should not have existed, it may only be a fleeting moment..." 'Kiana' murmured softly.

"But because you exist in my imagination, there is still a glimmer of hope," Kiana said affirmatively.

"I am the you in my imagination...representing a fictitious, fantastical future." 'Kiana' looked at herself in front of her with gentle eyes.

"I am you in reality...representing the real, the original, the so-called past." Kiana looked at her in return, looking at another version of herself.

Immediately.

'Kiana' seemed to be singing or chanting something, as if reciting some kind of ceremonial hymn, her tone both gentle and high-pitched.

"I will merge with you."

"Everything I have will become your sustenance."

"..."

Kiana wasn't surprised, and looked at 'Kiana' in the same tone, and spoke.

"I will merge with you."

Everything about you will accompany me on my journey.

"..."

"I did not disappear." 'Kiana'.

"You did not disappear," Kiana.

"From this day forward... you are me, and I am you..." ×2

"Past and future united." ×2

"The unity of illusion and reality." ×2

"From this day forward, I will be the only me! The complete me!" ×2

"..." ×2

At this moment.

A brief silence followed.

'Kiana' smiled gently.

"Then... I'm leaving my world in your care."

"Yes, leave it to me." Kiana nodded gently.

He watched as 'Kiana' transformed into specks of light and merged into his body.

Kiana felt a pang of sadness.

She could feel the changes within her body.

It was as if the missing fragments had returned, and it quickly became whole again.

To be honest.

'Kiana' is fully entitled to be independent.

If she's willing, Kiana wouldn't mind helping her gain her freedom.

But in the end, she gave up.

In fact, the relationship between Kiana and her is not like that between Tokiwa Sougo and Kagami Sougo.

But 'Kiana' was willing to do so.

This may also be closely related to another matter.

That is... how to achieve diversity.

The most fundamental characteristic of diversity is that, in terms of time, the past, present, and future are unified. In terms of space, there is only one unique self.

Regardless of the dimension, it remains the same.

This requires one to limit all one's possibilities.

When she helped Kiana hatch in the Cocoon of the End, she had already achieved complete unity.

'Kiana' is her, and yet she isn't.

Not merging with her won't actually affect Kiana's uniqueness.

Because she is an illusion.

However, there are some benefits to integrating them.

It will increase that minuscule probability.

Even the smallest thing can more easily achieve the highest.

Because she is also 'Kiana'.

So, this was actually a gift from 'Kiana' to her.

After all.

She needed something from her, it was that simple.

PS1: Here's the third update. Two more to go. Keep it up!

315. Mobius's Big Crisis? (not really)

Even Kiana herself doesn't know if she could do what Kiana did.

But there is no doubt about it.

'Kiana' sacrificed herself to secure the future of her world.

Because!

Kiana is the past.

She is the future.

When the past and the future meet in the 'present'.

If they can coexist.

Therefore, their two worlds already exist in the same space-time.

Like the twin stars.
