Chapter 274
Aurora was worried that her second sister was lying to her. Who could guarantee that her sister wouldn't hold a grudge after she was awakened?
Of the three sisters, the eldest and second eldest are the most vengeful. However, the second eldest sister's revenge comes quickly, and she always settles her scores sooner rather than later, rarely letting them linger overnight. Of course, there are also some grudges that cannot be avenged but are recorded in advance, with interest calculated at 10%.
Aurora's worries were not unfounded.
Just a few minutes ago, my second sister lied to me about slapping me in the face.
Aurora is now worried that after Kiana wakes up, she will be instigated by her nitpicky second sister again, and at the next gathering in the consciousness space, she might have to face a double whammy from both of her sisters.
"Who's lying to you? I was just joking earlier, but now I'm serious."
"..."
Aurora looked utterly hopeless.
So what I just said was indeed a joke.
With Aurora's intelligence, how could she not have guessed that her second sister must have figured something out? She must have known that slapping Kiana wouldn't wake her up, yet she still insisted on inducing her to do it...
Ah, it's all my fault.
I shouldn't hold a grudge against my two older sisters for liking to pinch my cheeks.
However, while Freya and Aurora were fooling around, the Herrscher of Finality had pulled them into this consciousness space finally moved.
"Aurora, be careful! The Herrscher of Finality is attacking!"
Yes, Freya did not mistake this automatic defense system for Kiana.
Perhaps Kiana is the true Herrscher of Finality, but the Herrscher of Finality is preventing her from reclaiming her body in this consciousness space is not Kiana.
She is a part of Kiana, but Kiana is not her.
Therefore, launching an attack on this Herrscher of Finality in front of me will not break my resolve.
In Freya's heart, she never regarded Kiana as her enemy. Even after learning that Kiana might be the real Herrscher of Finality, her first thought was how to protect Kiana.
Moreover, even if Kiana is the true Herrscher of Finality, she herself has not Herrscher Transformation; the one who truly Herrscher Transformation is Freya.
Therefore, the current situation is either due to the physical Herrscher Transformation, Kiana's Herrscher of Consciousness, or it may be influenced by the Honkai Consciousness.
To isolate Kiana from the influence of the Honkai Consciousness, Freya must first reclaim her own body.
The Honkai Consciousness clearly influences Kiana's mental state through the mental connection between her and Kiana.
To be honest, the Herrscher of Finality before us is indeed Kiana.
However, only by escaping this consciousness space with its starry backdrop can one regain control of their body and then find a way to solve the problem of Herrscher Transformation.
Freya's words of advice had barely left her lips when Kiana of the Finality launched her attack.
Like the sunlight that illuminates the earth and shines on the entire starry sky.
Both Freya and Aurora were immediately engulfed by the intense light.
After the pale yellow light illuminating the starry sky faded, an indescribable darkness suddenly returned.
"..."
In the Finality, Kiana stared blankly into the darkness surrounding her, her gaze quickly locking onto the culprit who manipulated it—
Darkness gathered on the right hand of a girl who looked exactly like her and wore a blue and black evening gown.
At the same time, a girl whose body was surrounded by the Void Ribbons also defended herself against the intense light from before.
Kiana's Finality attack caught Freya and Aurora completely off guard.
However, Freya had indeed anticipated the other party's modus operandi.
Judging from the fact that her consciousness could be awakened by her younger sister, Freya was certain that their Herrscher Transformation had many problems, or was even completely incomplete.
In fact, there should have been only one Herrscher of Finality, but the power that flowed into his body was divided equally among himself, Kiana, and Aurora.
Of course, even if the power of the three of them were combined into one, it still wouldn't be comparable to that of a true Herrscher of Finality.
They only obtained a small portion of the Herrscher of Finality's power, and this small portion was divided equally among the three of them.
In other words, in terms of the power each of them possesses, there is no difference in strength between the three of them.
"Two against one, from a certain perspective, we have a greater advantage!"
Freya smiled as she released the darkness in her hand.
This is a force completely opposite to light.
It is not Simulated Black Hole formed by manipulating gravity, but an element called "ether".
The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle conceived of a substance called ether. Nineteenth-century physicists believed it to be a hypothetical medium for the propagation of electromagnetic waves. However, later experiments and theories have shown that many physical phenomena can be explained more simply if we assume that ether does not exist.
In 1920, Einstein gave a lecture at Leiden University on "Ether and Relativity," attempting to reconcile relativity and the theory of ether.
She pointed out that special relativity does not require the concept of "ether," but according to general relativity, space has physical properties, and in this sense, "ether" exists.
She even said that according to general relativity, space without ether is unimaginable.
People's understanding continues to evolve.
By the mid-20th century, people gradually realized that the vacuum was not absolutely empty, but rather a place where constant fluctuations (the generation and subsequent annihilation of virtual particles) occurred.
This vacuum fluctuation is a quantum effect of interacting fields.
Today, theoretical physicists have further discovered that the vacuum has even more complex properties.
Therefore, ether may exist, but it has not yet been discovered.
Of course, it is currently a hypothetical substance.
However, Freya used the abilities of Herrscher of Consciousness to create a dark attribute that is completely opposite to Kiana's light attribute.
What she calls "ether" actually represents so-called dark matter and dark elements.
Of course, putting aside Einstein's theory of relativity for now, at the heart of the battle, Freya's darkness and Kiana's light cancel each other out.
At that moment, Aurora was some distance away, quietly came up behind Kiana and launched a sneak attack.
Perhaps because she possesses the core of the Herrscher of the Void, Aurora instinctively understands the concept of space, and is therefore even more talented than her in manipulating the Imaginary Power.
It could also be said that Freya had high hopes for Aurora.
Two beams of light, formed by the Imaginary Power, intertwined to form a giant drill that pierced the intense light surrounding Kiana.
"Great Spiral Spear of the Subspace!"
Aurora gave her newly created special move a catchy name.
Of course, Freya also knows this attack method where the Imaginary Power is transformed into two Imaginary Ribbons spiral and coil into a long spear.
If we're talking about who used such an attack first between her and Aurora, it would naturally be Freya, who frequently uses Herrscher power in battle and loves drills and Gurren Lagann.
However, she names her moves with names like Sword of Subspace and Sword of Imaginary Number.
Slightly special or more powerful moves, such as the Severing Steel Sword of the Subspace, are so impressive that they have to add a few words to the original name of the move, Void Sword, to make it look the same as the original Void Sword.
In reality, they are the same move. Whether it is the Sword of the Void or the Severing Steel Sword of the Subspace, they are both weapons made of Imaginary Power.
Freya continued to manipulate the [Aether] to annihilate Kiana's [Light], creating an opportunity for Aurora to launch a sneak attack.
However, the giant spiral spear wielded by Aurora failed to strike Kiana; the spear, formed from Imaginary Power, quickly melted away in the soft light.
But Aurora also successfully diverted Kiana's attention.
Freya, who manipulates darkness, laughed.
She raised her right hand, which was being held by the element of ether, and pressed it forward forcefully.
The darkness, which should have been evenly matched, suddenly gained the upper hand.
Kiana slowly turned her head. Although she was slightly outmatched in the battle against the darkness, it did not mean that she had lost.
Even if the two sides are almost equal in strength, under the same conditions, Kiana has a greater advantage.
Darkness held the upper hand for only a short while before being utterly defeated by the light.
Meanwhile, around Kiana, light matter suddenly formed two armies: one invading Freya's dark domain, and the other chasing after Aurora.
Aurora covered her head and ran away.
"Waaah, sister, Aurora was wrong! Don't hit Aurora!!"
"You little rascal!!"
Freya said somewhat irritably.
Her own cute little sister wasn't exactly a bad teammate; in fact, she successfully distracted Kiana, albeit for only a few seconds, allowing the darkness she controlled to win for a short while.
Faced with the approaching army of light, the [ether] influenced by consciousness also constructed an army of darkness.
Kiana and Freya's army, constructed from light and ether, closely resembled humans.
When the two sides clashed, the battlefield was littered with corpses, and the meat grinder-like battlefield made Freya feel uneasy.
Although Freya killed many enemies, she never carried out any massacres.
When tens of thousands of humanoid soldiers died in the war zone, Kiana and she continued to create new troops, making the long-delayed battle even more intense... By the time Freya came to her senses, she had lost her appetite.
"It seems the job of suppressing Kiana is still mine..."
Freya originally wanted to use Aurora as bait to divert the enemy's attention, so that she could then use all her strength to completely defeat the enemy.
I just didn't expect that Aurora was completely unsuitable as bait.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, among the three sisters, Aurora has no connection with the Herrscher of Finality, and doesn't seem to be a backup for the Herrscher of Finality like herself. Therefore Aurora has not yet mastered the power that she shares with Freya and the others.
Most importantly, Freya always felt that Aurora should be considered a new member of the Second Herrscher.
Of the hundreds of special clones Otto created, only she and Aurora possessed consciousness.
Freya knew that her situation was rather special. Although she didn't know who she was in her previous life, she only knew roughly what her gender was, what she liked, and some strange common sense. But the reason she had consciousness was very simple: her original body had no consciousness.
Therefore, the only difference between K423, who possesses self-awareness, and her is the Herrscher Core.
However, after she underwent the transplantation and cultivation of sacred blood, and her growth rate exceeded the limit, she gradually went astray.
Freya's conjecture wasn't far-fetched.
As long as you don't deny your own uniqueness, all questions can be answered.
"Aurora, watch the moment, don't worry..." Freya encouraged her younger sister who was running away with her head in her hands.
This is the consciousness space. Although it is not my own consciousness space, the abilities of the Herrscher of Consciousness can still be amplified dozens of times here.
I am about the same level as Kiana.
Kiana may awaken as the true Herrscher of Finality, manipulating light into an army to unleash radiance against darkness... On Freya's side, because this is a space of consciousness, the [Aether] she created has an environmental advantage over Kiana's light.
The suppressed darkness rebounded once more, beginning to suppress Kiana's light.
Freya and Kiana were once again locked in a stalemate, while the massive armies they had created continued their brutal battles...
On the other side, Aurora couldn't find any opportunity and was instead chased around by Kiana's army of light in a very sorry state.
317. This should be our last battle...
Seeing that Aurora couldn't find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, Freya sighed slightly.
Compared to her and Kiana, Aurora still unable to wield the power of the Finality.
Two completely opposite energies occupy the starry sky, and endless armies of light and darkness fight fiercely. Freya is slightly weaker, relies on the advantages of the environment to stalemate with Kiana.
"Forget it, I'll create an opportunity for my little sister instead."
Freya stared at the beautiful figure in front of her, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.
Although she kept telling herself that the girl in front of her wasn't the real Kiana, Freya still felt uncomfortable fighting her.
But the discomfort only lasted for a short time.
"No matter what, we can't leave this consciousness space without defeating the opponent..."
Unable to leave this consciousness space, Kiana naturally cannot reclaim her body. Without reclaiming her body, the connection cannot be severed, and Kiana is even less able to return to her original state.
The darkness formed by the power of consciousness began to collapse.
Faced with Freya's attack, Kiana, whose only Finality is the Automatic Defense System, also condensed the starry sky in her palm.
The next moment, the entire starry sky seemed to be torn in half by two terrifying forces. One side was as bright as day, dyeing the world around Kiana white, while the other side was as dark as an abyss. Where the darkness spread, the stars dimmed, as if they had been smeared with a layer of black ink.
