“Kiana Kaslana, the coordinates you seek are all to fulfill your friends’ wishes.
Then—what is your own wish?” Kevin looked at Kiana and asked.
He wanted to see his descendant’s truest thoughts.
“What nonsense are you on about, Kevin?” Kiana couldn’t help but retort, but looking at Kevin’s face, she still described that naive yet hopeful future to him.
“I don’t have many wishes.
First: to let those I care about reach a new world where there is no need for sacrifice or sadness, where they can sing, dance, and laugh out loud, including the Flame-Chasers of your Previous Era.
Second: On the basis of the first wish being realized, to fulfill the wishes of everyone I cherish!”
Kevin looked at Kiana’s bright blue eyes, as if seeing his former self.
This made him unable to resist continuing the conversation: “How can you be sure you can do it?
You are weak, so weak that you can’t even defeat a Flame-Chaser.”
“People won’t stay weak forever.
A fledgling will eventually learn to flap its wings and become the sun in the eyes of other birds, guiding the next one to fly into the blue sky.” Kiana looked at Kevin and spoke word by word: “If I were you, I would fly into the sky and become the sun.
Under my light, the masses would ignite a longing for the sky, and before they are able to fly, I would protect them as a Pioneer.”
Kevin looked at Kiana.
Her ideals were too naive, her wishes too absurd.
The path to save the world by transcending Finality is rugged and difficult, even forbidding a second person from walking alongside.
The tragedies of the Previous Era reminded Kevin that a disaster like Honkai cannot be overcome without sacrifice, as Kiana suggested, to reach the end together.
Kevin wanted to retort; he wanted to tell Kiana about the repeated tragedies of the Previous Era, but…
looking at those sky-blue eyes, pure as a lake and not yet frozen by the Honkai disaster, Kevin suddenly didn’t want to argue anymore.
After all, that version of Kiana was also his former, foolish self.
“I can give you the coordinates.
I will look forward to witnessing whether what you said today is just empty talk.” Kevin gave the coordinates to Kiana.
Su smiled knowingly upon seeing this; how could he not understand his best friend?
Kevin had simply seen something in Kiana that he had long since lost.
“Then before I leave, Pioneers of the Previous Era, I extend an invitation to you. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Could you please entrust the rest of your lives to me and form a Community of Fate with me?”
Kevin looked at Kiana with some confusion, then asked Su: “Community of Fate?”
“Yes, Community of Fate!” Kiana answered ahead of him.
At this moment, her emotions captured Kevin and Su like a heavy black hole, making them feel as if they were in the gravity field of the Herrscher of Earth.
“Even if the oceans dry up one day, even if the sun goes out one day, even if the stars turn dim and silent, even if existence is no longer existence and everything returns to nothingness—in that endless void, only the bonds between each other in the Community of Fate will remain tightly connected!
Even if this body dissipates and only particles remain, we must still hold each other’s hands!”
“What…
what twisted emotions!” Su even opened his eyes and couldn’t help but look at Kiana.
What kind of experiences could make this girl, who was as cheerful as a husky just a moment ago, erupt with such heavy emotions!
“I feel like you need to see Aponia.” Kevin sincerely recommended that Kiana see a psychiatrist; this Community of Fate was simply too heavy.
“I know, but I won’t change.
This invitation is permanently valid.
After all, the new world I look forward to must also have your footprints, as well as those of the others.” Kiana nodded politely to Su and Kevin, then turned to leave.
Outside, Durandal looked at the out-of-power Kevin puppet, expressing that the battle had been quite satisfying.
“Kiana!” Raiden Mei didn’t love fighting as much as Durandal, but she wanted to become stronger, to keep getting stronger so she could always walk side-by-side with Kiana, rather than being left behind.
She didn’t want to be a bird that hadn’t learned to fly under the sun’s guidance; she wanted to become a sun like Kiana and stay by her side forever.
After all—she, Raiden Mei, was the first member of Kiana’s Community of Fate!
“Good work, Mei, Sister.” Kiana hugged Raiden Mei and Durandal, her eyes filled with heartache as she looked at their minor injuries.
“It’s fine, just minor injuries, no big deal.” Durandal felt a bit annoyed seeing her sister’s distressed look; she would have been more careful if she had known.
“It’s alright, Kiana.” Raiden Mei looked at Kiana tenderly.
Being cared for by Kiana like this, Raiden Mei felt that these wounds were worth it.
“I’ve got the coordinates.
Then, Mei and I will go retrieve my original power.”
Since she had chosen to shoulder the long-cherished wishes and lives of The Thirteen Flame-Chasers, gathering the bonds of the thirteen Herrschers had to be accelerated.
She only needed to get the gem of serenity and the Gem of Haste to unlock the second Ascended Herrscher.
Judging by how Rin was converted into a Herrscher badge, the Divine Keys would be automatically converted into badges by the system.
Thus, gathering the thirteen Herrschers and becoming the Herrscher of Finality would be a breeze.
The only problem was…
the Herrscher of Reason, Welt’s body had already reached its limit.
So Kiana planned to take Bronya to the Sea of Quanta to quickly gain some experience, and then have Welt hand over the herrscher core to Bronya.
“Amber, are the gem of serenity and the Gem of Haste still at Schicksal?” Kiana took out her communicator and asked Amber.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Kiana opened a space portal and said goodbye to Durandal.
“After you stabilize the World Bubble, Sister, let’s meet at St.
Freya Academy.
I’ll be waiting for you!” Kiana’s smile was very gentle, completely different from how she had exerted gravity inside the Sumeru Mustard Seed.
After saying goodbye to Durandal, she took Raiden Mei’s hand and returned to Schicksal Headquarters.
[Detected Herrscher of Flame core and Herrscher of Death core.
Since the cores are not physical, they are converted into equipment: Herrscher Bond Badge x2.]
[Detected that the number of Herrscher bonds has reached 6.
Phase 2 rewards unlocked: You may choose any Herrscher you own to undergo Ascension.]
Kiana didn’t hesitate and directly chose the Herrscher of the Void, who had been with her the longest.
In reality, Ascension could also be called Star-up in the system, and unlocking Herrscher bonds meant a character could be directly upgraded to three stars.
As for the strength of a three-star five-cost unit…
anyone who has played Teamfight Tactics wouldn’t doubt it.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
