Kiana in the End perfectly inherited Cecilia's appearance, but due to her tortuous and tragic experiences, her temperament became aloof and otherworldly.
"It's nothing..." Kiana shook her head gently, but hugged Chen Xiuming's arm tightly. "Thank you, Xiuming."
Chen Xiuming chuckled and turned his gaze back to the boundless ocean.
Although I only spent a little over an hour in this world, the rewards were very substantial, you could even say it was a "lucrative experience".
……
The end of a world is often very uneventful, and it disappears quietly without anyone noticing.
A dozen minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Kiana had already returned to the golden pattern, leaving Chen Xiuming sitting alone on the beach. Then, he fell into a deep sleep without warning due to intense drowsiness.
Just like the previous world bubble, when this world bubble saw Chen Xiuming off, it also generously gave him gifts.
The scene of Kiana killing her beloved friends and family with her own hands in the final moments no longer replayed in her mind like a curse. Janna's weakened state improved significantly, and even the time she spent sleeping was greatly shortened.
Anila simply supplemented her powers, making her a true "Herrscher of Death," no longer a "defective product" formed from the resentment of wild cats.
The connection between the Alaya consciousness and the Stigmata Terminal deepens, and it is no longer necessary to be inside the Stigmata Terminal at all times to maintain its normal operation. It can leave the Stigmata Terminal at any time like an independent individual.
Seemingly to thank Chen Xiuming for helping Kiana of the End find liberation, he received the most generous gift: the extremely special "Saintess Power".
This power originates from the Herrscher of the End, possessing the ability to suppress Honkai energy, pause the actions of Honkai Beasts, suppress the Herrscher core, and even detach the Herrscher core from the Herrscher's body.
At this moment, Chen Xiuming had fallen into a deep sleep and was being gently transported to the next world bubble by a gentle force.
—A world bubble where only a kind and lovely girl, like an angel, exists in solitude.
47. Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void
The biting wind, carrying a chilling cold, instantly woke Chen Xiuming from his deep sleep.
"Hiss—it's so cold."
Chen Xiuming shivered, suddenly opened his eyes, and looked around at the scene.
The land was covered in ice and snow, with snow-covered landscapes.
Extreme cold spread rampantly, as if it could even freeze Honkai energy.
Chen Xiuming wrapped his thin clothes tighter, gently exhaled a breath of white mist, and the somewhat stagnant Honkai energy in his body gradually resumed its flow, only then did he feel that the severe cold had lessened a bit.
"What kind of bubble is this time?"
Chen Xiuming's bewildered voice echoed across the desolate snowfield.
At the end, Kiana quietly appeared, silently driving away the biting cold for Chen Xiuming.
Anila quietly extended her cat paw from Chen Xiuming's shadow, but was immediately frozen and retreated back into the shadow, no longer trying to leave Chen Xiuming's shadow.
The biting, howling wind contained Honkai energy, which is why Chen Xiuming and Anila, who possessed Honkai energy, felt cold.
"We can't possibly end up in a world where the Herrscher of Ice destroys everything and go clubbing..."
Chen Xiuming muttered to himself with a hint of helplessness, then gazed into the distance, trying to find a "beacon" for exploring this world bubble.
However, the seemingly tireless wind and snow obscured the distant scenery, leaving Chen Xiuming with only a gray sky and nothing to use as a "beacon".
Just as Chen Xiuming was hesitating about which direction to start exploring the world bubble, the nearby snowfield suddenly stirred.
Chen Xiuming immediately became alert, releasing his Honkai energy out of his body and condensing it into a revolver.
As the revolver materialized, corpses, covered in thick snow, staggered to their feet from the snow-covered ground.
"This is... a zombie?"
Chen Xiuming was full of doubt, but he quickly realized something was wrong. "They're not zombies, but rather undead soldiers who haven't fully transformed..."
These were just some assassins who hadn't fully transformed; they posed no threat to Chen Xiuming whatsoever.
Chen Xiuming stopped Kiana from making a move, put the revolver into his pocket, and instead shaped a Honkai energy spear.
This is a good opportunity to warm up with these "mobile sandbags".
Om-!
Before Chen Xiuming could launch an attack on the swaying, seemingly unsteady, incomplete assassins, a muffled buzzing sound echoed across the snowfield.
In an instant, purple cavities resembling a deep starry sky appeared at the location of the incomplete undead, swallowing the swaying incomplete undead.
Chen Xiuming's expression turned serious, and he became extremely vigilant.
Unexpectedly, after those purple cavities swallowed the incomplete undead, they quickly collapsed, turning into dreamlike purple light spots and dissipating, without any intention of attacking him.
"…What is going on?"
Chen Xiuming was filled with doubts, but he also had some guesses in his mind.
Kiana glanced sideways at the scattering purple light spots and answered succinctly, "Herrscher power."
Chen Xiuming seemed to be thinking about something, then asked, "Kiana, can you pinpoint the Herrscher's location?"
"can."
Kiana took the initiative to hug Chen Xiuming, preparing to fly directly to the location of the Herrscher with him.
Seeing this, Chen Xiuming quickly stopped Kiana of the End, saying that Kiana of the End only needed to point out the direction of the Herrscher.
Kiana was somewhat puzzled, but she did not resist his decision. Instead, she reluctantly let go of him and pointed out the direction where the Herrscher was.
Although he had guessed the Herrscher's true identity from the fleeting purple cavities, those cavities differed from the image he remembered, so he wanted to test the other party's attitude.
Chen Xiuming glanced in the direction Kiana had pointed, then wrapped his coat tighter around himself and trudged through the snow toward the direction where the Herrscher was.
During this period, any incomplete assassins who crawled out of the snow were swallowed up by a purple cavity that appeared out of nowhere like a ghost.
……
The world of ice and snow seemed to consist only of blinding white and the omnipresent, relentless biting wind, making even the passage of time seem insignificant.
As the distance decreased, the snowfield seemed to undergo strange and subtle changes.
A faint murmur echoed incessantly with the cold wind, even causing the dazzling white snow to appear distorted.
"it hurts……"
"It really hurts..."
"Why...why did this have to happen..."
"Mom says the world is clearly not beautiful at all..."
"Cold, desolate..."
"There must be... there must be something that Sirin did wrong, right?"
"That's why... I received this punishment..."
"Sorry……"
"I'm sorry, mom..."
A weak, desperate murmur, carried by the cold wind, seeped into Chen Xiuming's ears.
The snow-covered landscape became twisted and eerie, as if pulling Chen Xiuming into an inescapable quagmire, plunging him into a dark and desperate illusion.
This is the most desperate experience for a lonely and helpless girl.
The girl lost her sight at a young age and lived with her loving mother.
Despite the hardships of life, the girl's mother still painted a beautiful picture of the world for her daughter.
Therefore, the girl dreamed of seeing the beautiful world and her mother who loved her deeply.
However, on the day the collapse occurred, the girl's beautiful wishes were torn to shreds by the cruel and desperate reality, and even her mother, who loved her deeply, was twisted into an ugly, incomplete zombie.
The girl didn't even have time to despair or feel sad before she was frantically chased by a group of strangers.
Whether the girl begs for mercy or runs away, it's all in vain.
Even though she was being hunted down for no reason, the girl did not resent the strangers. Instead, she simply and kindly believed that she had done something wrong to deserve this punishment.
When the girl collapsed in the snow, exhausted, the strangers who had been chasing her had vanished, leaving her alone and desperately trapped in the cold, biting snow, awaiting death.
Chen Xiuming browsed through the girl's experiences as if watching a revolving lantern of life, then his body suddenly trembled, as if waking from a dream, his mind returning to his body.
Then, he accidentally stepped into thin air, but Kiana immediately caught him, preventing him from falling awkwardly.
It was only then that Chen Xiuming realized he had reached the location of the Lawyer.
This is a deep pit; the wind and snow have blown by, leaving only a thin layer of snow.
In the center of the deep pit, a purple-haired girl slept peacefully, like a "Sleeping Beauty" waiting for her "Prince Charming." Her delicate, lovely, and beautiful face, like that of a porcelain doll, was filled with a serene tranquility.
The girl wore a fairytale-style purple and white dress with a beautiful golden lining inside the skirt, resembling a sea of flowers.
The girl, who should have looked like she stepped out of a fairy tale, now looked very miserable. Her fairy-tale style purple and white dress was tattered and torn, and her porcelain doll-like face was covered with bloodstains. Her exposed skin outside the dress also showed many wounds.
In the end, Kiana carried Chen Xiuming and flew in front of the girl, then quietly floated behind Chen Xiuming, remaining silent.
When Chen Xiuming saw the girl, he felt both relieved and heartbroken about her experiences.
The girl's name is "Sirin". She is the "Herrscher of the Void" in Honkai Impact 2, and also a kind, gentle and lovely "little angel".
Seemingly sensing Chen Xiuming's approach, Xilin slowly opened her eyes, her golden pupils looking at Chen Xiuming, revealing an innocent and pure smile.
"Big brother, are you the prince who came to save Sirin?"
48. It's very simple, I'll just "refine" the world bubble, won't I?
Faced with Xilin's innocent question, Chen Xiuming was taken aback for a moment, then his expression gradually softened.
Although he didn't know why Sirin asked that question, he wouldn't mind becoming the "prince" who would save Sirin, as long as Sirin was willing to believe it.
