Kiana clenched her fists, her body trembling uncontrollably, her heart racing, fearing that the news they gave was fake, that they were lying to her.
Remembrance told her that Himeko-sensei had already sacrificed herself to save her.
The Herrscher of the Void had controlled her body and personally plunged into the Sea of Quanta; there wasn’t even a possibility of resurrection.
But what if?
What if Himeko-sensei really was saved, just as they said.
“Why should I prove it to you?
You even hit me, humph, I don’t want to!” Kiana’s temper flared, and she didn’t want to help at all, making a face in spite.
Frez was helpless too; he hadn’t taken any photos at the time, and Kiana was currently angry, so there was indeed no way to prove it.
It wasn’t that Kiana didn’t want to believe; she just didn’t dare to.
To be given hope in despair and then have it snatched away—that feeling was far too terrifying.
Kiana’s azure eyes grew dim, and her whole being was devoid of life.
It felt as if she would jump without hesitation if there were a high-rise building right here.
Kiana felt distressed watching her.
She and the Kiana from her own side were like frenemies, often pitting themselves against each other, but their relationship was actually quite good.
Seeing this Kiana in such a state, her once lively and spirited eyes now a picture of deathly stillness, she couldn’t bear it.
“Hmph, this is the Queen’s mercy.
Watch closely.” She waved her hand grandly, her momentum like a rainbow, then suddenly thought of something and froze.
“Frez, how do I go back?” “…Just use the travel function to return.
Can you use it?” Kiana looked at her travel button and clicked it frantically, but there was no response.
With a long face, she said, “My travel button is grayed out!
I can’t use it!” “…” Frez was exhausted.
“Try again the way you came.
Do you only have two Spears of the Void?” “Three!
No, wait, I lost my Spear of the Void!” Kiana was extremely anxious.
That was the Spear of the Void that had been with her since she was born!
Spear of the Void!
My Spear of the Void!
Pacing, rolling on the ground, wailing!
“It’s gone!
My Spear of the Void!” “That Spear of the Void seems to still be inside the Cosmic Juggernaut.
Don’t be too scared.” “Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Kiana wiped her tears and sniffled.
“You guys better forget what just happened.” Seele and Frez looked away, stifling their laughter.
Kiana’s lip twitched.
This person was definitely not the Herrscher of the Void she knew.
Even though they had the exact same face.
The Herrscher of the Void in her memory was the embodiment of indifference, power, arrogance, and madness.
She would never show such an embarrassing expression.
It seems…
she’s not a threat?
Fu Hua reminded her in her mind: “Kiana, be careful.
Their origins are unknown.
Himeko has already…” “Shut up!” Kiana barked.
This was her only chance.
Once missed, she might never see Himeko-sensei again.
She absolutely, absolutely, absolutely had to seize it!
She must seize it!
“Why are you shouting at me?” Kiana asked.
“No, I wasn’t talking to you.” Kiana apologized.
Kiana snorted and stood up.
“Since it’s my Spear of the Void, then I can definitely find it!” Closing her eyes, she tried to communicate with her Spear of the Void, her companion item.
Even across a vast distance, even without knowing where it was, she could find it.
“Spear of the Void!
Come back!” Her Umbra: Void Umbrella opened, and a portal was constructed.
Rita poked her head out and sighed in relief.
“It’s so good that you’re all alright!” Rita had been worried sick.
Although she knew no one could catch Kiana if she wanted to run, given her IQ, she’d probably help someone count the money after they sold her.
Seeing that they were fine now, she finally felt at ease.
Otto also poked his head out.
Before he could speak, Kiana’s eyebrows shot up.
Without a moment’s hesitation, she made a purely instinctive choice.
A Nine Heavens Thunder Double Kick landed forcefully on Otto’s face.
With a bang, Otto flew out with a scream.
Kiana rushed in, unleashing various attacks.
Rita shouted, “Lord—Bi—shop—!” “Good, good, good!
Yes, yes, yes!
That’s it!
Uppercut!
Lower cut!” Kiana cheered from this side.
Frez said, “Kiana, don’t be in a hurry to go back.
Stay here for a while.
Otherwise, Kiana might not be able to come back.” “I want to go to Furina’s afternoon tea.” Kiana said dissatisfiedly.
Rita saw the general situation and smiled.
“As for afternoon tea, Miss Kiana, I will prepare it for you.
To figure out the current situation, please wait patiently for a moment.
Miss Seele, please take care of Miss Kiana.” “Ah, okay,” Seele agreed.
“I’ll take good care of Big Sister Queen.” Seele’s “Big Sister Queen” made Kiana beam with joy.
She waved her hand.
“Whatever, it doesn’t matter.
Ahahaha, Rita, give me some money.
I want to go buy hot pot.” “Uh, is the currency of the two worlds interchangeable?
Your side seems to be Shenzhou.
I just happened to return from Shenzhou earlier and still have some money.” She pulled out a wallet from under her skirt and took out a dozen bills of Shenzhou currency.
Kiana took them, and Frez squeezed through.
“Kiana, let me handle these things.
You take Seele to play first, and I’ll give you a signal later.” “Fine, go ahead.” Having received the money, Kiana only wanted to eat hot pot and waved her hand dismissively, not caring at all.
The passage closed, and the Umbra: Void Umbrella returned to its original state.
Frez held Kiana back.
“Stop hitting him.
Although I’m very reluctant to admit it, this Otto is indeed a good person.” “A good person?
Otto?” Can these two terms even be associated with Otto?
“I thought so too at first, but compared to that villainous gambler on your side, this Otto is truly wonderful.” There were so many Otto counterparts, but very few could truly be considered good people.
As far as Frez knew, there was Father Otto, the Otto living a happy life in the event world-line, Overtime Otto, and this one before him.
Among all the Ottos, he was a rarity.
Especially since this one was also a pervert.
Otto stood up with a bruised face, his Soulium body looking just like a real one.
Rita handed him a handkerchief to wipe the footprint off his face, and he regained his usual elegance.
“Considering your experiences, I won’t say anything.
Otherwise, little girl, I would show you the meaning of cruelty.” Otto took out a calculator, pressed a few buttons, and then the calculator spat out a piece of paper.
On it was an astronomical figure.
“You should know, just with this bill alone, I could sue you into bankruptcy!” Frez glanced at it—lots of zeros.
He’d only seen that in Chengdu.
How many gangs would he have to rob to save that up?
Soulium bodies really are expensive!
“Alright, I’ll take you to see Himeko.”
