Listening to the Herrscher of Knowledge's reluctant words.
Raiden Mei's heart was not worried...
Because she knew the other party would not refuse her.
If she used "that move," she would have even less reason to refuse.
Raiden Mei pretended to be disappointed and said.
"If you can't do it, I won't force you.
But Bronya and I will still try to project our consciousness over...
Help Kiana stabilize the space."
This was undoubtedly a clever ploy, its intent so obvious that almost anyone could see through it.
However, when the target of this tactic was the Herrscher of Knowledge, even such a simple strategy was enough to touch her unwilling heart.
As soon as Raiden Mei finished speaking, a subtle tension seemed to be injected into the air.
The Herrscher of Knowledge almost reflexively straightened her back, her right hand quickly raised, her thumb pointing at herself... her eyes full of defiance.
"I said... are you underestimating the 【Herrscher of Consciousness】?
Confronting the consciousness of several dead Herrschers?
Even if you're real people, I wouldn't be afraid at all!
Seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge had fallen for it.
Bronya on the side immediately provided support.
"Heh... as expected of the Herrscher of Knowledge."
Looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge's reaction, Bronya couldn't help but chuckle in her heart. Everything was in place, all that was left was to make it happen.
At the same time, through the invisible bridge of conscious communication, Kiana also received the dialogue between Raiden Mei and the Herrscher of Knowledge, understanding the essence of the whole plan.
After learning all this, Kiana's expression gradually became solemn. She spoke softly, but her inner unease was hard to conceal.
"But, under such circumstances, projecting consciousness... won't it be very dangerous?"
Although Kiana knew the urgency of the current task, requiring her to go all out, her inner worry for her friends' safety was never quelled.
However, with the warm comfort and firm support of her teammates, Kiana soon found a balance within her heart.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to transform her worry into motivation, and instead spoke with a more determined tone.
"If everyone and Kevin's responsibilities are placed on my shoulders equally...
I certainly wouldn't refuse any help given to me."
........
The moment Kiana nodded in agreement, Raiden Mei and the Herrscher of Knowledge in another space quickly took action, working together to carefully identify and select the numerous Herrscher consciousnesses.
As this work progressed, the environment surrounding Kiana changed significantly - the fog before her seemed to be dispelled by an invisible force, the path ahead gradually revealed its true form, becoming clearer than ever before.
However, this clarity was accompanied by an ominous sign. Kiana realized that the connection between her and her companions, her mental connection, was becoming weaker without her knowing, as if being gradually cut off by some force.
A wave of unease surged through her heart, she quickly called out loudly, trying to confirm the safety and location of her teammates.
"The fog... has indeed subsided slightly.
Mei? Bronya?
Herrscher of Knowledge?"
Kiana resolutely marched forward, while anxiously calling out the names of her friends, but only silence responded. Obviously, she was currently experiencing a brief communication interruption, her connection with her teammates was temporarily cut off.
Faced with this sudden situation, Kiana's heart was uneasy, but she quickly adjusted her mentality. She knew that since she had come this far, the path ahead could only be explored and completed by her alone.
This sense of responsibility and mission made her even more determined in her steps........
........
In the barrage.
【崩3琪亚娜：The road ahead, can only be completed by me alone? A little anxious... But, since my future self bears everyone's hope, I can't let everyone down!】
【三月七：Go for it, Kiana!】
【崩3雷电芽衣：Right, go for it, Kiana. In the future, we will all believe in you!】
【黑塔：This... what is there to worry about?】
【开拓者：I don't know... but on the road, there shouldn't be any other dangers?】
【崩3奥托：There definitely won't be.】
【崩3德丽莎：But right now, whatever the case may be... let's see the rest of the video first.】
【星穹姬子：Indeed, we have absolutely no clue about what will happen to Kiana next.】
【星穹瓦尔特：........】
【梅博士：The only one chosen, to fight for humanity, the "Finality".】
【爱莉希雅：Don't you find it romantic?】
【伊甸：A bit ironic... but not a bad outcome.】
【梅比乌斯：For us, perhaps a little ironic. But for our grand vision, as long as it's achieved.】
【凯文：Indeed.】
..........
The camera focuses again, the scene in the video switches to the deep passageway inside Subway Station 1.
Kiana's lonely figure stretches out in the dim light as she slowly moves forward, her gaze suddenly drawn to a television screen flickering with random code.
Amidst the chaotic and disorderly images, a crimson eyeball appears faintly, emitting an ominous aura.
Kiana's eyes instantly sharpened, without needing to say anything, her heart already understood the identity behind this eyeball - it was a being she had never confronted directly, but had deeply sensed through various experiences and connections with the Herrscher consciousness.
Faced with this sudden "eye contact," Kiana took a deep breath, her voice containing both vigilance towards the unknown and acceptance of fate. She spoke slowly to the television, which seemed to be alive and staring at her, her words revealing firmness and determination.
"We will prove to you what is worthy of eternal existence... and can exist eternally."
After deeply understanding the past, failures, and hidden wishes of the Herrscher of Corruption, Kiana made a solemn promise to her, a promise that was not only respect for her enemy, but also an adherence to her own beliefs.
As Kiana's words fell, a sense of unspoken acknowledgement and resonance seemed to flow through the air.
The power of the Herrscher of Corruption, at this moment, merged with Kiana's will. She successfully unified the power of another Herrscher.
Immediately, a spectacular sight unfolded before Kiana - a dazzling white gate of light appeared with a bang.
And at this moment, Kiana had no hesitation or resistance in her heart. With the support and help of her teammates, her inner conviction became even stronger. Taking a deep breath, she spoke again.
"It's okay... this is an opportunity that everyone has fought hard to create for me.
Not just this time...
Since more than a decade ago, since I met my Dad and the others.
I've already been on this path."
Kiana resolutely took a step, unhesitatingly stepping into the gate shining with white light. In an instant, the dazzling light filled the entire screen, as if engulfing everything in this brilliance.
As the light gradually weakened, until it completely dissipated, Kiana found herself in a completely different world - a vast, emerald green grassland met her eyes. This refreshing green, this peaceful atmosphere, couldn't help but make Kiana's thoughts drift back to the past, the days she spent with her companions, the adventures filled with laughter and challenges, all emerged in her mind.
This is... the place where they once fought the Herrscher of Wind, Wendy.
.......
It was obvious that these glowing white gates were actually leading Kiana step by step to unify the Herrscher's power.
On the grassland, she returned with the Herrscher of Wind, and told her about Bronya.
In the sea of flowers, she talked with the Herrscher of Void... experiencing everything her mother, Cecilia, had gone through.
In the scenes of Longgeng City, she looked forward to the future after the 【Finality】...
On Mount Tai Xu, she talked with the Herrscher of Knowledge, acknowledging her existence.
In that auditorium, she made a decision with the Herrscher of Thousands!
And in front of the stone sculpture of Karen, she bid farewell to Otto forever.
Finally... Kiana crossed the boundary of time and space again, arriving in a new world that seemed like a dream. Here, the night sky was as dazzling as brocade, under her feet was a mirror lake reflecting colorful hues, every wave seemed to tell ancient and mysterious stories.
Petals gently floated from the sky, adding a touch of romance and beauty to this scene.
Even more striking was that this was the sacred ground where Raiden Mei transformed into the Herrscher of Origin.
Kiana's arrival undoubtedly signaled that her journey was nearing its end, the moment she became the Finality was approaching.
As she was immersed in this tranquility and beauty, several streaks of colorful light suddenly streaked across the sky, as dazzling as a meteor shower.
Kiana couldn't help but look up, deeply captivated by this sudden spectacular sight.
However, these "meteors" seemed to possess intelligence. They sensed the yearning and firmness deep within Kiana's heart, instantly changing their original trajectory, transforming into a force driving her forward.
As the streaks of light gathered and accelerated, they seemed to become invisible hands, gently and firmly pushing Kiana, traversing the barriers of space, leading her to a new world........
