Chapter 72
Heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one gold, pure white hair, a golden diamond pattern on his forehead, and a ring on his head.
A look of worry appeared on his face.
Little Mio's appearance... it's rare to see her looking like this...
At this moment, the smoke generated by the collision of dragon breaths dissipated.
Just moments ago, Abraham were all high and mighty, having activated what appeared to be a forbidden skill and feeling certain of victory. Now, however, they were in a sorry state, some missing limbs, others missing legs.
Even Abraham, who was directly confronted by the "Judgment Dragon Breath," was blasted to ashes.
The figure that appeared to be the main body, Abraham, looked at Luo Mio and Benares, who was hovering above him, with a somewhat incredulous expression.
How could that be...
Abraham then used his "foresight" to foresee several fragments of his future self.
Emptiness...
Like a black hole, it was pitch black, with not a single ray of light in it.
"It's time to get my 'Power (Honkai Energy)' back!" Luo Mio seemed to have lost her patience, raising her hand and speaking calmly.
"... What?!"
Just as Abraham was surprised...
"Aaaaaaahh..."
An unbearable, bone-splitting pain emanated from their bodies.
Although they are clones, like machines, they have been endowed with mysterious powers and possess some human intelligence.
The excruciating pain caused them to scream out loud.
Then, a purple energy aura burst forth from the purple patterns on their bodies and skin, and slowly returned to Luo Mio's hand.
After witnessing this scene, Saikyo Neine said with a complicated expression, "As expected, this energy and Little Mio's..."
Before long, Luo Mio extracted all the Honkai Energy from the bodies of the Abraham.
They were kneeling weakly on the ground when Luo Mio's voice rang out softly.
"Benares, take care of them."
"Hold head high--!"
The dragon's roar echoed throughout the Imaginary Space.
In the park.
She stood alone on the high-rise building, with Edelweiss by her side.
It turned out that not long after Luo Mio and the others transferred to the Imaginary Space, Kong arrived at the park.
After Edelweiss sensed her presence, he took her into his own hands and learned that her abilities were being restricted.
"Click!"
A sound, like the release of shackles, rang in Kong's ears.
This is...?!
The next moment, several figures suddenly appeared in the park.
In a hidden base.
Inside the office.
The screen, which had been filled with static and static, now displayed the park scene.
The figure sitting in the office chair looked at the screen.
But in the next second
"How is this possible?!"
The figure who had been leisurely and composed just moments before suddenly changed his expression, standing up in shock and anger.
With a calm expression, Luo Mio held Abraham's head in her hands and lifted him up.
Then Luo Mio's hand tightened slightly.
"Smack..."
With a snap, Abraham's head was crushed by Luo Mio.
The splattered blood inexplicably dissolved and vanished into nothingness the moment Luo Mio crushed it.
A tiny glimmer of light appeared in the office.
The figure slowly revealed his appearance.
It was an old man, his rather obese body dressed in white, resembling a wooden barrel.
This person is the current chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of the U.S., one of the Union Nations.
"Grand Professor" — Carl Allens.
Allens's chubby face and the look behind his glasses were fixed on Luo Mio's completely new appearance.
"Could it be..."
Has he "awakened"?
Allens looked grim.
"But even if he 'awakens,' how could he possibly be a match for twenty Ebers?!"
Allens was puzzled.
The next moment, Luo Mio on the screen gently snapped her fingers.
The screen in the office instantly turned into static.
Allens stared intently at the screen, his face as ugly and disfigured as a fat pig.
On a high-rise building.
Kong bit her lip, her face filled with worry, sorrow, and unease as she looked at Luo Mio who appeared in the park.
"That posture... as expected..." Kong said worriedly.
The Finality ...
Just as Kong was worrying about Luo Mio's change, he felt a gaze.
"Um?"
Luo Mio's two-tone eyes, one blue and one gold, were staring straight at her.
Then, Luo Mio's lips curled up slightly, and her two-colored eyes revealed a gentle emotion.
Upon seeing this, Dan Ying slowly opened her mouth and looked at him with surprise.
"Elder brother...!"
"Little Mio!"
A voice rang out not far from Luo Mio and the others.
Luo Mio looked over.
All he could see Touka, panting heavily and sweating profusely, shouting at him.
"!"
Luo Mio, who was now in a state of "Half-Finalized?", looked at her.
An incomparably terrifying aura instantly pressed down on her.
Even so, Touka looked at him with worry in her chestnut-gold eyes.
Luo Mio looked at her with her blue and gold eyes.
"Sister..."
"Is this your answer?"
At that moment, the world seemed to stand still.
Time froze at the moment Luo Mio spoke softly.
A bird that has just flapped its wings, leaves falling into the air, ripples on the water...
Luo Mio heard the sound and looked back.
Luo Mio is neither a system, nor the Herrscher Persona of the Finality personality, nor Honkai Personality...
It was just a simple golden humanoid figure.
The golden humanoid spoke again.
"Is this your answer?"
After hearing His words, Luo Mio turned around and looked at Touka, whose face was full of worry.
He glanced again at his "family" around him.
"Old woman... Aunt Kuro..."
She raised her head and looked at the purple-haired little angel on the tall building in the distance.
Then, using his mental power, he sensed Arisugawa and the four others— Ikki, Stella, Shizuku— who had rushed over.
"For their sake, you refused to become the end..."
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Mio interrupted her.
"I am Finality, so why should I refuse?"
"Only..."
Luo Mio looked at the people she knew.
"The essence of the Finality is to filter the world, followed by destruction and reset."
"But this world still has beauty that I cherish."
"Isn't that so?"
Small theater...
In the deep ocean abyss of the Pacific Ocean.
A void slowly appeared, and from it, Benares flew out.
Hmph hmph~
Benares returned to the side of the Golden Crystal...
Um?
Two resentful gazes were fixed on it.
Chapter 73: Small Joys
"Uh..."
Luo Mio opened her eyes halfway.
"Looks like he's awake."
A slightly irritating and annoying voice rang in Luo Mio's ears.
"Um."
