“That Divine Key…” Elysia looked at the Jizo Mitama in Kiana’s hand, her emotions complex.
Except for Sakura and Griseo, the Flame-Chasers present basically knew what it represented.
After all, that was…
Sakura’s sister.
“Sister!” The moment she saw Sakura, Lynx became emotional.
Looking at the Divine Key, Sakura felt a very familiar sensation, causing her to subconsciously whisper a name: “Lynx?”
“Don’t be nervous, heroes of the Previous Era.
I didn’t come to make enemies of you.” Kiana took the initiative to let go of Jizo Mitama and handed Lynx over to Sakura.
“Oh?
But making such a big scene right after entering the Elysian Realm…
Herrscher~ what exactly is your goal?” Mobius sat on her floating transport, twirling her long green hair with her fingertips, staring at Kiana like a snake eyeing its prey.
“For Lynx’s wish.” Kiana’s words made Kalpas pause.
Sakura looked at Jizo Mitama; she could feel Lynx’s presence and hear her voice…
“She is my companion.
I promised her that I would bring her to see her sister.
I came for that promise; after all, Lynx is my dear friend.” Kiana didn’t need to say more; even Aponia personally testified that Kiana’s heart was as flawless as crystal, and everything she said was true.
“For a promise?
How touching.
It’s wonderful that she could become your friend, Kiana♪” Elysia was genuinely happy for Lynx, but Vill-V raised a question at that moment: “So, your promise is fulfilled.
What will you do next?
Take her away, or…?”
“I won’t take her away.
Lynx loves her sister, and her sister loves Lynx.
How could I have the heart to tear apart these sisters after their hard-won reunion?”
To Kiana, Jizo Mitama—even a PRI-ARM Jizo Mitama—couldn’t compare to Lynx’s happy smile at this moment.
“Even if the stars dim, even if the universe perishes, even if the sun no longer rises, and even if the other party falls into hell—Lynx entrusted her life to me, so I will do my best to fulfill her wish.
This is the meaning of the Community of Fate’s existence.”
Kiana’s words made even Elysia break into a cold sweat.
Such “gravity” and obsession moved Elysia but also made her worry—worrying if Kiana might one day be torn apart like this.
“Can you really bear to?” Mobius stared at Kiana, questioning her.
“That is the Key of Corruption, the bane of all technology.
As long as you have her, not even we could harm you in the slightest.”
“If she is happy, I am happy; if she is sad, I am sad; if she is harmed, even if those people have already fallen into hell, I will find a way to reverse time and grind their bones to ashes.”
Kiana’s “gravity” put pressure on all thirteen Flame-Chasers; Kalpas felt that she was even crazier than he was.
“Then your goal has been achieved.
Are you leaving now?” Aponia looked closely at Kiana.
The threads of fate…
she could no longer see them.
“No, reuniting Lynx with her sister is one thing, but I have another reason for coming to the Realm.” Kiana looked at the thirteen Flame-Chasers and reached out her hand, her voice very sincere.
“Could you please entrust the rest of your lives to me?
Whether in poverty or wealth, in sickness or health, even if the sun goes out, even if the moon crumbles, even if there is no more life in the universe, the bond between us will never break.
Could you please become a Community of Fate with me?”
“Huh?!” Mobius wondered if this Herrscher had gone mad, but Elysia reached out and took Kiana’s hand.
“Sure♪” Elysia smiled.
She watched Kiana, this beautiful girl full of “gravity.” She could feel the other’s sincerity; she truly wanted to become friends with the Flame-Chasers.
“What is your goal?” Kalpas couldn’t help but speak up.
After all, a Herrscher wanting to be friends with them was simply too ridiculous.
“Goal?
I don’t have a goal.
I just feel that the heroes of the Previous Era shouldn’t waste their youth underground, nor should they be trapped in the Elysian Realm for their entire lives.”
Kiana looked at Kalpas and stated her wish: “I hate tragedies.
I hate stories where someone must be sacrificed to reach the end.
In my view, the ending of a story should be written by me.”
“What I want is a beautiful world where no one is sacrificed, no one is sad, and everyone can sing, dance, and laugh out loud.
That world shouldn’t just have us from the Current Era; it should have you from the Previous Era as well.”
“You can mock me, you can refuse me, or even question how an ordinary Herrscher like me can surpass the Finality.
So, let’s make a promise.
If I successfully surpass the Finality, then please become my companions and reach the beautiful new world at the end of the West Wind with me.”
Kiana said a lot in one breath.
Elysia looked at Kiana, somewhat dazed.
This girl was truly unique.
She was naive—naively cute, even—yet…
one inexplicably wanted to believe in her.
“Huh?
How could we—Elysia, you don’t actually want to believe this Herrscher, do you?” Mobius’s voice grew sharp as she saw Elysia’s moved expression.
Even if they had laid out plans expecting the Current Era to surpass Finality, Kiana was too naive!
“I want to believe her, Mobius♪” Elysia turned to the other Flame-Chasers, her voice sincere.
“Even if her dream is naive, it’s that very naivety that makes me see her potential.
I’m willing to believe her.
She’s different from everyone else I’ve ever met, Mobius♪”
“Since Elysia believes, I am willing to believe as well.” Eden followed suit immediately upon hearing Elysia’s words.
After all, Elysia’s judgment was trustworthy.
This white-haired, blue-eyed young girl might truly be able to achieve what she said and create a miracle.
“I cannot see the threads of your fate, but I can see your name, Kiana.” Aponia’s words were shocking.
After all, the last person she couldn’t see through was Elysia, and the miracle Elysia created was standing right before them.
“Well, since Sister Elysia believes in you, I’ll believe in you too!
My luck has always been great, so…
so I don’t think Sister Elysia could be wrong about someone.” Pardofelis also took Kiana’s hand and smiled at her.
“Besides, I think we’ll definitely get along!”
‘Elysia, Eden, Aponia, and Pardo all believe in this girl.
What should I do?
Should I believe her?
What she just said was naive, but so cool…’
Kosma thought a lot and finally sighed, stepping forward.
It was just a promise, anyway.
If Kiana failed, they wouldn’t have to pay anything.
“You…” Kevin narrowed his eyes at Kiana.
He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that Kiana’s appearance was similar to the Herrscher of Finality from the Previous Era.
However, he would reserve judgment for now.
“Then, we are a Community of Fate now.” Kiana laughed, unleashing that oppressive “gravity” once again.
“Our feelings will transcend the gravity of black holes and the curvature of space-time.
Even if the universe ceases to exist, we will surely hold each other’s hands and never part!”
