Chapter 325
The stone platform beneath their feet had been smashed by the Herrscher of Reason, leaving a hole. The iron chains binding the ancient sword were also teetering on the verge of collapse. Moments later, the stone platform sank, showing signs of disintegration.
Apologize to me now, and I might consider letting you off the hook.
The Herrscher of Reason withdrew his spear and slung it over his shoulder.
Kiana remained silent. The next moment, the Herrscher of the Void activated her powers, and she flashed behind the Herrscher of Reason. She threw a punch, but it was firmly caught in her hand.
Stubborn to the end!
The Herrscher of Reason roared.
Honkai Energy of crimson Honkai energy erupted from her body, reaching the sky. The entire ancient sword began to tremble precariously. Kiana gritted her teeth and charged forward, the two exchanging a punch.
The next moment, Kiana was sent flying backward, plummeting towards the ancient sword.
The Herrscher of Reason leaped high and chased after him.
After landing, Kiana tumbled a few times before regaining her balance and slowly stood up. As soon as she looked up, she saw a red starlight fall from the sky and crash onto the ground.
"Have you calmed down yet, Kiana? Look, this is the difference in strength between you and me!"
Kiana charged forward again, only to be knocked back by the Herrscher of Reason's spear.
Immediately afterwards, the Herrscher of Reason unleashed all eighteen martial arts techniques, her spear striking Kiana relentlessly, gradually depleting her Honkai Energy.
At the critical moment, Fu Hua's Fenghuang Down stood in front of Kiana, blocking the Herrscher of Reason's fatal attack.
"There's only so much I can do to help, so make sure you seize the opportunity, Kiana."
"Understood, class monitor."
Kiana retreated continuously, dodging the attacks of the Herrscher of Reason.
The Herrscher of Reason seized the opportunity to pursue, swinging his spear into a staff and slamming it heavily into Kiana's chest, only to have it blocked by Fenghuang Down once again.
Kiana jumped up, summoning a purple cube with the power of the Herrscher of the Void, and slammed it down heavily towards the Herrscher of Reason.
Let's stop here!
Kiana shouted after landing.
"Damn it, how could this be? How could this be? How could this be? How could it have gotten to this state?!"
"Can't you two just listen to me obediently?!"
With a roar, the Herrscher of Reason unleashed Honkai Energy that swept in from all directions, filling the surroundings with crimson mist. Kiana was forced to transform into her Herrscher of the Void form to evade the attack.
"Fool! Idiot! Why did you block my way?! Why did you help that good-for-nothing?!"
"They're all losers!!!"
The Herrscher of Reason hurled her spear, which instantly reached Kiana's throat.
The Void Lance timely bound and restrained her, Kiana forcefully threw her into the sky. When she looked at the Herrscher of Reason again, she had already summoned the Sword of the Void.
The sky was filled with Honkai Energy, resembling the pattern of a Chi Yuan. Terrifying power gathered within the Herrscher of Reason, ready to erupt at any moment.
It's too much to catch.
Beads of cold sweat trickled down Kiana's forehead.
This terrifying attack was more frightening than any power Kiana had ever seen before. The fear emanating from her body was only surpassed by that of the World Serpent Lord.
"Kiana, control your power, remember what I taught you."
Fu Hua's voice echoed in Kiana's ears.
Along with this, Kiana's body moved involuntarily, and the Edge of Taixuan gathered in her hand, gradually forming a giant sword that pierced the sky with massive Honkai Energy.
"God is the ultimate of change, the wondrous manifestation of all things, which cannot be questioned by form!"
"Edge of Taixuan Qi - Eminence!"
The golden greatsword was aimed at the Herrscher of Reason in the sky, and the two energies collided.
"Aaaaaah! How could I possibly lose to this guy!"
The Herrscher of Reason roared, transforming into a black phoenix, and slammed down towards the giant sword.
The two energies collided and dispersed, and when Kiana opened her eyes, only Fu Hua's phantom remained before her.
"Thank you, Kiana. I'll take care of the Herrscher now. The illusion is about to dissipate, let's go back."
"This time, it's probably goodbye forever."
"Wait a minute, class monitor, there might be another way!"
Kiana reached out her hand, but Fu Hua didn't even turn her head, simply clutching the energy in her hand.
"Perhaps, but... this is my mission."
The Eminence pierced through the Herrscher of Reason, and a crimson feather fell into Kiana's hand. The gradually collapsing illusion symbolized the end of everything.
Those Herrscher of Reason, the class monitor... have all disappeared.
Kiana clutched the feather in her hand, clenching her teeth, standing alone amidst the ruins.
"Enough, it's happening again."
"I cannot accept a so-called victory achieved through sacrifice! Give me back my squad leader!"
The feather in her hand began to glow, Kiana broke through the space of memory, surpassing the rated power of Fenghuang Down, and arrived at the place she wanted to reach.
This is a space of memories, a record of Fenghuang Down's life.
Kiana walked forward step by step, and wherever she went, she saw Fu Hua's memories of her entire life.
"Immortal Crimson Bird, I did not lie."
After a bang, Fu Hua fell to the ground, her brain pierced by the bullet from the Fehu.
"I've experienced too much betrayal and deception."
"Squad leader, I would never lie to you!"
Kiana stood up and looked around; all she could see was a vast expanse of white, icy snow.
"Lixue, this is as far as I can accompany you."
The long-haired girl knelt on the ground, her chest pierced by the Void Lance.
Those who trusted me have also been affected by my actions.
"I'm very strong, don't worry about me getting caught in the crossfire!"
Kiana ran forward step by step, memories flashing by like a revolving lantern.
The memories of the Immortal Crimson Bird span five thousand years, starting from the beginning and returning to the starting point.
In the end, I was still all alone.
I won't leave you alone!
Kiana clenched her fist and shattered the space around Fenghuang Down with a single punch, trapping the white-haired, red-feathered immortal inside.
"Kiana, what are you doing here? If the seal has been broken..."
Fu Hua subconsciously reached out her hand, but then withdrew it halfway.
Kiana grabbed her and said, "Then I'll beat her to a pulp again. She thinks she can escape from me? No way!"
The space around Fenghuang Down began to collapse, and Kiana pulled Fu Hua out.
Ultimately, it was emotion that created a miracle; the authority of the Herrscher of the Void broke through the seal of Fenghuang Down.
Chapter 528 Kevin is about to return
Kiana held Fu Hua's hand tightly, and the surrounding memory space began to shatter, turning into countless fragments along with the illusion, scattering under the blue sky.
The sun and moon rise and fall, the sea changes into mulberry fields.
Having experienced separation and grown accustomed to despair, I've lost track of time.
Driven to the brink of death and endless cycles of reincarnation, all for the sake of a mission.
The Immortal Crimson Bird lived for Fifty Thousand Years, and in the end, his life was nothing more than suffering.
At that moment, everything changed.
The illusion dissipated, Kiana, holding the unconscious Bronya, looked up and saw the first rays of dawn on Mount Tai Xu, and the immortal walking towards them.
The video ends here.
Herrscher of Reason: "Oh, great! Cheers to your victory! Humanity has defeated the Herrscher once again! Great, great!"
Fu Hua: "Little Senti, why are you so happy?"
The Herrscher of Reason, "Pah! Who's happy? I'm being sarcastic, can't you tell? Tsk."
Little Senti pursed her lips. This Old Timer was really a Blockhead. If it weren't for her generosity, anyone else would have been driven crazy by her.
Fu Hua: "I'm sorry, but I really think you're happy. Fenghuang Down wouldn't lie."
Since the two shared a single Fenghuang Down, Fu Hua could still sense the other person's emotions.
The Herrscher of Reason: "Alright, I admit I'm quite happy."
Fu Hua: "Why?"
The Herrscher of Reason, "After all, I'm the only one who's seen your failed life. You've suffered so much, and now that you've finally turned over a new leaf and stepped out of your predicament, I can't just kick you when you're down, can I?"
Take a look at those memories in your memory space.
Out of ten, you can't find a single sweet one; for five thousand years, it's been nothing but bitterness from beginning to end.
The pain of losing all loved ones.
The bitterness of being a lone wanderer in a sea of people.
The suffering of being burdened with a mission but unable to control one's own destiny.
Herrscher of Sentience sighed. Considering how hard the Old Timer had worked, he decided to let her have her way this time.
Danzhu: "Waaah, it was supposed to be such a sweet ending, Kiana successfully rescued the immortal, but after hearing what you said, I feel so sorry for the immortal!"
Cang Xuan: "Chi Yuan..."
Fu Hua: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
At this moment, the Immortal Crimson Bird remembered many things.
Elysia, Thirteen Flame-Chasers, Danzhu, Cang Xuan, Cheng Lixue... and so on, their suffering goes far beyond what is expected.
Fu Hua felt as if her heart had been stabbed. She desperately wanted to use the Fenghuang Down to drown the painful memories, but she couldn't escape them.
She really wanted to go back and help Elysia and the others, at least to see Captain Himiko one more time, but she couldn't let go of her current companions.
She wanted to see Cheng Lixue and apologize to her for failing in her duty as her mentor.
But as Otto said, what is lost can never be regained.
Unless time reverses or goes backwards.
Fu Hua could only keep these things to herself, not daring to speak of them.
The Herrscher of Reason: "In the end, it's still that damned Kindling Project. That Old Timer is a blockhead, sticking to her mission without any flexibility. Letting her execute the Kindling Project, and that's how it ended up."
Eden: "I'm sorry, Hua, this should have been my responsibility."
The ideal executor of Kindling Project should have been Eden.
Unfortunately, as a treasure of Previous Era, she still chose to shine brightly in her own era, to shine alongside it, and to fade away together.
If she were to carry out the Kindling Project, Hua would not have to shoulder this mission.
Fu Hua: "No, Eden, I took on the Kindling Project voluntarily. The subsequent events were solely my fault; they have nothing to do with you."
Fu Hua: "A person's character is their destiny... Perhaps I haven't done enough."
Kevin: "No, you did very well, at least better than me."
Gray Serpent: "Why do you say that, Your Excellency? You are the leader who led us to carry out the Stigmata Project and defeat the Honkai. The mission you bear must be even greater and heavier."
Kevin: "That's different."
The icy chill spread and froze into ice flowers on the ground.
