Chapter 510
"That bastard awakened the Herrscher of Finality! Screw him!!"
Freya then collapsed to the ground, leaving Kevin and Fu Hua staring at each other in bewilderment. The two of them sensed the Great Honkai energy rising from inside the moon in the next moment.
In another world, Aurora, who was guiding the lunar teleportation, was feeling pleased with the smooth progress when her smile suddenly froze, and she closed her eyes and fell into a coma.
At this moment, in Freya's consciousness space, Freya helplessly watched Aurora was also pulled in.
Directly in front of the two was Kiana, whose mind had been taken over by the Herrscher of Finality.
596. But I... am Kiana—
"Kiana, wake up!!"
Seeing that her little sister had been manipulated again, Aurora quickly called out her name.
"Wake up! Kiana!"
Although Freya didn't believe that simply calling out to Kiana would awaken her mind, which had been taken over by the Herrscher of Finality, she couldn't help but call out along with her.
At the same time, she was also thinking about how to break the deadlock.
(Damn it, FU, I didn't expect it to be the Herrscher of Finality, tsk... Although Kevin and I both regretted not being able to truly defeat the Herrscher of Finality, it doesn't mean we wanted to fight Herrscher of Finality. And now, just as we're leaving this world, the Herrscher of Finality's consciousness is awakened. What is this? Is it trying to make Kevin and me make up for our regrets?)
Although Freya had many complaints in her heart, she could only put them aside for the time being and kept calling Kiana's name.
However, Kiana showed no reaction whatsoever.
Kiana, wearing her training combat suit, bent over with her head down, remaining motionless in her consciousness space in this eerie, zombie-like posture.
Freya quickly stopped shouting. At this moment, the oppressive feeling emanating from Kiana was getting stronger and stronger. Kiana's consciousness was obviously no match for the consciousness of the Herrscher of Finality.
As pairs of light wings pierced through Kiana's combat suit and grew from her back, massive Honkai Energy surged out of her body like waves.
Freya, forced back several steps by the waves of Honkai Energy, struggled to stop herself from retreating. She could only watch as Kiana was gradually replaced by the Herrscher of Finality.
Although it was Honkai Energy, it illuminated the entire space of consciousness like a holy light that purified everything.
As the Purifying Light gradually weakened, the familiar starry sky appeared around them, and Kiana, who was directly in front of Freya and Aurora, was completely captivated by the Herrscher of Finality.
Her original combat uniform had disappeared, replaced by a luxurious gown, like a pure white wedding dress, that clung to her beautiful body. A few strands of white hair mixed with gold moved without wind. Then, she slowly straightened up and opened her bright golden eyes.
"Like you all..."
Upon opening her eyes Herrscher of Finality calmly inquired about the two figures blocking her way.
Freya and Aurora both sighed, and then, without hesitation, they switched to Finality Mode.
Although they knew that even if they entered Finality Mode, they couldn't defeat the real Herrscher of Finality, and that even if they switched to Finality Mode, they would still be at risk of being affected by the Herrscher, it would be extremely difficult for them to even stand in front of the Herrscher for a second longer if they didn't switch to Finality Mode.
"Excuse me, please give my sister back to me."
"Please give Kiana back!"
Two girls with different personalities declare the same will.
Freya's body was shrouded in an impenetrable black mist, and dazzling spatial rifts appeared around Aurora.
A black evening gown replaced Freya's 'Stellaron Knights combat uniform,' while a gray evening gown replaced Aurora's white lab coat and school uniform underneath.
After switching to the Finality Form, Freya and Aurora immediately sensed the influence of the Herrscher of Finality.
If they don't strengthen their will, they could very well be brainwashed by the Herrscher of Finality.
Freya and Aurora both manifested their powers to counter the influence of the Herrscher of Finality.
The space around Aurora sometimes paused, sometimes distorted, and sometimes flashed with spacetime rifts. Meanwhile, the black mist surrounding Freya would occasionally burst out with lightning, sparks, and ice... the black mist seemed to encompass everything.
However, it took the combined strength of the two of them to barely withstand the influence of the Herrscher of Finality.
The Herrscher of Finality before them now was not the Herrscher of Finality had been in a half-awake state, but the Herrscher of Finality had been completely Honkai Consciousness of Honkai.
"Yeah?"
The Herrscher of Finality looked at the two calmly, with Purifying Light constantly surging from her body. She tilted her head and spoke in a sweet voice that was both endearing and pitiful.
"But I... am Kiana— "
Freya and Aurora were slightly startled, as if they were in an icebox.
Leaving aside what happened in the world of consciousness, Freya and Aurora both fell into a coma, which directly caused a deviation in the teleportation process.
Raiden Ryoma, who was activating the mobile module at the control panel, bit his lip, but fortunately, the situation wasn't too bad.
Fortunately, a preload mode was created, and Aurora's guidance was locked in advance; otherwise, Raiden Ryoma wouldn't have been confident in correcting the deviation in the teleportation.
"Leave this to me, Siegfried. You go and see what happened."
Seeing Siegfried's uneasy expression, Raiden Ryoma urged him on.
Siegfried shook his head and replied.
"I can't leave. Without my protection, you won't be able to withstand the enemy's sneak attacks."
"Pah, if the enemy had broken into this deep inside, we would have been wiped out long ago. What would we need you to protect us for?"
Raiden Ryoma said irritably. He knew Siegfried was worried about his safety, but right now, this teleportation was more important.
"You'd better get out of here and deal with this accident. If you don't sort it out, you can expect me to use you as the price for teleportation."
"Transporting across worlds involves losses, that's normal. What a load of rubbish..."
Siegfried cursed directly.
Then he turned and left without looking back. Ever since the accident, he had felt a strong sense of unease.
The premonition that if he did nothing, he would lose his most precious possession was consuming Siegfried's heart.
Siegfried longed to rush to the place that made him uneasy, but he remembered his mission and that he could not even leave the side of Raiden Ryoma.
Raiden Ryoma saw through Siegfried's thoughts, which is why he demanded that Siegfried act immediately. He didn't want Siegfried to regret his choice today in the future.
"Leave this place to me. You should go now. This is the time for you to fulfill your responsibilities as a father."
"Ah, when we get to that other world, let's have a drink together."
"Don't make any unfounded predictions."
Raiden Ryoma replied irritably, focusing his attention on the control panel.
At this moment, the monitoring screen showed an abnormal Honkai Energy reaction, covering many areas, including Kiana's training room. Siegfried saw this scene, and his ominous premonition grew stronger.
Although it has not yet been confirmed that the source of the abnormal Honkai Energy reaction is Kiana, at this time, all we can rely on is 'father's intuition'.
Go ahead, don't let yourself regret it.
The thing Raiden Ryoma regrets most is probably that he didn't give Raiden Mei more care when she was young, which led to her being kidnapped and having the Conqueror Gem buried inside her.
For Raiden Mei, that experience is an indelible shadow.
In Raiden Ryoma's eyes, it was a sword that pierced his body and constantly criticized him for not being a qualified father.
Despite his efforts to mend his relationship with Raiden Mei, Raiden Ryoma, who failed to protect his daughter, could not undo the damage he had done in the past.
Just as Siegfried was not a good father, he had many shortcomings, and his daughter was precocious. Because of this, he was unable to do anything truly for his daughter.
Raiden Ryoma sincerely hopes that Siegfried won't 'miss out'.
Some things, once missed, cannot be changed no matter how hard you try to make up for them.
Raiden Ryoma quietly sent Siegfried his blessing, then continuously corrected the deviation in spatial power. The intermittent guidance coming from the other monitoring screen made Raiden Ryoma chuckle to himself.
"Should I say she's truly worthy of being your adopted daughter?"
To avoid losing control and implicating the other two, Freya repeatedly explained the trinity relationship between the three sisters to Ryoma and the others.
If the accident happened as he suspected, then Freya and Aurora had obviously fallen, Aurora was still providing guidance for the teleportation.
In Kiana's personal training room, Kiana, with three pairs of wings of light unfurled behind her, was being slammed into a metal wall. After a two-second moment of disorientation, Bianca quickly regained her senses.
"Phew... I almost, I almost passed out completely!"
When Kiana unfurled three pairs of wings of light behind her, Bianca had no time to react before she was immediately slammed into the wall by Kiana.
The Kaslana family's monstrous strength pounded on her body, and even though her training combat suit had the function of absorbing impact, Bianca was still pounded so hard that it felt as if her internal organs had been displaced from their original positions.
The intense pain caused Bianca to lose consciousness instantly, and her heart and lungs stopped. Fortunately, before she lost consciousness, she managed to stimulate her heart with an electric shock by controlling Honkai Energy, which brought her back to consciousness.
"Kiana, wake up!"
"You are..."
Kiana frowned. Although the current Honkai Energy intensity was not low, it was far from enough to summon the Herrscher of Finality.
The Herrscher of Finality of the End, awakened in this state, is naturally not in a state of complete victory. Fortunately, even if her awakened consciousness cannot fully contain everything, she can still use the connection between this body and herself to pull the other two people connected to this body into the consciousness space.
However, the consciousness space of this body is connected with that of the other two, and only the connected consciousness spaces of the three are truly qualified to accommodate the consciousness of the Herrscher of Finality.
Thinking back to how my sister described their relationship, 'trinity' is indeed a fitting description.
Therefore, there are not one, but three Herrscher of Finality awakened.
Because one of them was in another world, and because the distance was too great, she naturally couldn't control that body, but controlling the other body on the moon's surface was not difficult.
Moreover, that body's level of awakening was even higher, making it even more like the first vessel of the Herrscher of Finality than her current body.
Kiana gazed calmly at Bianca, and in her eyes were the reflections of a white-haired man and a gray-haired woman.
It is clear that a man and a woman are stopping 'her' on the lunar surface, and 'Kiana' has an impression of the white-haired man.
The burning heavenly fire remained vivid in her memory—
597. Pah, Fu, you bastard!
"But I... am Kiana— "
In the realm of consciousness, the Herrscher of Finality's sweet, endearing voice sent chills down Freya and Aurora.
For the Herrscher of Finality, memories spanning ten or even twenty years are like a drop of ink falling into a lake.
Kiana's memories failed to shake the Herrscher of Finality; she didn't even put up a decent resistance before being assimilated by the vast amount of memories.
Just as the Herrscher of Finality declared, she herself is 'Kiana'.
She has memories of being a cyborg from Previous Civilization, sent to the Mei lunar laboratory by FU, who was disguised as a blond bishop.
She also has another world, from the memories of Cocolia's collapse after finally learning the truth, transforming into the Herrscher of Finality.
She even has the memories of other Kiana.
"It's not that 'Kiana' becomes the Finality, but rather that 'the Finality' itself is Kiana."
The Herrscher of Finality's answer made Freya and Aurora's bodies grow even colder.
However, eliminating Kiana cannot stop the arrival of the Herrscher of Finality. She is Kiana, but she can also descend as any human being.
She is Kiana, but she is not just the Kiana of this world.
The Herrscher of Finality possesses all of Kiana's sorrows and joys, and she also shares all of Kiana's experiences.
Kiana's individual experiences and those memories cannot shake the will of the Herrscher of Finality.
Whether it's the danger Kiana encounters, the magnificent adventure, or the tragic life so heartbreaking it's hard to breathe, the Herrscher of Finality shares the same feelings as Kiana.
Freya and Aurora, being researchers, guessed Kiana's current state after the Herrscher of Finality's obvious reminder, which gave them both a headache.
Freya wasn't even sure what situation Kiana was in right now.
Oh no, the situation is really bad right now.
Freya, who had anticipated FU's counterattack, still underestimated its extent.
After all, no one would have expected that FU would awaken the Herrscher of Finality who was not suitable for her descent. Because the intensity of Honkai Energy did not meet the standard for her descent, even if she was attached to the most suitable vessel, she was still in an incomplete state.
However, that refers to the real-world Herrscher of Finality.
The Herrscher of Finality in the Consciousness Space are not subject to the restrictions of Honkai Energy.
