People in Izumo, make Honkai great again

"...If it weren't for Izumo, you wouldn't be like this."

The faint consciousness conveyed a voice again.

This made Kiana, who was in a very bad mood, cheer up a little: "No, this has nothing to do with Izumo."

"But you've never been in this situation before."

Yaesakura's voice came again.

Kiana was silent.

Yes, the reason she was unable to control herself in the beginning was because she forcibly broke the limit and transformed into the Ruler of the End before the progress bar was full.

After that, her permanent progress bar stopped at 50%, with no further progress. Instead, she no longer needed the power to push herself forward, and could re-enter the Herrscher state at any time.

She lowered her head and looked at her hands: "Because I forced myself to become a Herrscher...?"

But how can I push the permanent progress bar up?

Not to mention the permanent progress bar, all other functions of the system seem to have stagnated and no longer change.

Everything was because she forced herself to become the Herrscher of the End, and Izumo, who should have been completely assimilated by Honkai, was stuck in a trance because of the intervention of the Void.

Izumo is already a dead star.

Kiana activated the system because she wanted to save Izumo, but after tasting the bitterness of failure, she is actually no longer so concerned about what Honkai can bring her.

I don't want the development to collapse.

Even if she discovered that there were still holy marks left on Izumo, she would have wanted Ruan Mei to take a look first, rather than relying on the system and continuing to rely on Honkai.

She has always been resistant to the collapse.

Fearing the collapse, and due to his own weakness, he had to use the power of the collapse.

"Kiana, come and meet me."

Yae Sakura's voice came again, inviting her to come to the Stigmata World to see her again.

Chapter 54 You are resisting it.

The world of stigmata.

The scene here is completely different from the outside, without any trace of war.

Being in such an environment, the chaotic mood becomes a little better because of the peace.

"Kiana."

In the Frost God Shrine.

It's almost the same here as the first time I came here, but perhaps because fate has disappeared, the world seems brighter.

The tall, cherry-haired woman was waiting for her at the entrance of the shrine. When she saw that she had really entered the Stigmata World again, she smiled and greeted her.

"cherry."

Seeing her friend, Kiana forced a smile. Seeing that she was the only one around, she forced herself to ask, "Why don't I see your sister?"

Yaezakura shook her head: "She's in the yard, and it's not appropriate for her to hear what we're going to talk about next."

It would be better not to tell other humans derived from the Stigmata World about the outside world.

Kiana was silent for a moment before she perked up and started chatting: "...You must have been worried sick during this time. I haven't responded to your voice at all."

Did Yae Sakura's voice only appear today to remind her? It definitely wasn't. Yae Sakura must have reminded her when she first started to behave abnormally.

But she felt nothing.

It was not until she realized that she seemed to have lost control again that she finally heard Yaesakura calling.

The problem undoubtedly lies with her.

"I'm fine, but you are."

Yaezakura looked at her with concern in her eyes: "Are you okay? What happened?"

"I'm fine now. But... when did the accident happen?"

Doesn’t Kiana know it herself?

Yae Sakura was startled. Seeing her depressed, she figured something out. She sorted out the clues in her mind and said, "I've been reminding you since you fought them. You seem to have fallen into a very strange state...obsessed with killing."

She paused here.

This is definitely not normal.

Because Kiana is not a warlike person, she thinks she is quite clear about this.

Kiana is not that kind of person.

"At the beginning?!"

Kiana's expression changed, her face became gloomy, and she subconsciously grabbed her wrist.

It seems she just won't die.

Rather than being completely unaffected by Honkai energy, in the face of Honkai, she seems to be no different from other people...

"You entered a killing state at first, but then you lost control of your body?"

Yae Sakura was right beside her, standing from the perspective of an observer, and she knew more about what had happened to her in the past few days than Kiana herself.

Kiana was silent for a moment again, not knowing how to talk to Yae Sakura about this matter: "It must be affected by the Honkai. The concentration of Honkai energy in Izumo is too high."

Because of the collapse?

Yae Sakura nodded and shook her head. She looked at Kiana hesitantly, not knowing whether she should speak up.

Kiana, who was immersed in her own thoughts, still noticed the change in her expression. She realized that she still had something to say but might have some concerns, so she took the initiative to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"It should be the impact of the Honkai, but...how should I put it, Kiana?"

Yaezakura paused for a moment and said, "I might know the reason."

what?

Kiana suddenly looked up at Yae Sakura, her eyes slightly widened, eyes full of disbelief.

Yaesakura's words surprised her too much.

She couldn't even believe it.

Know the reason?

She herself wasn't sure why...

"This is my guess, just listen to it."

Yae Sakura looked at the person in front of her and whispered, "You know, I've reincarnated countless times in this Stigmata world. Having been here for so long, I have some understanding of this power."

"what have you found?"

Yaezakura hesitated a little, because the next words were not actually good words.

Kiana waited quietly, but after a long time, Yae Sakura still didn't speak. She looked at her with complicated eyes. She became a little anxious: "Don't worry!"

"...So, what did I say?"

"You said."

"This is just my guess. Whether it is true or not, you still need to judge for yourself."

"I see!"

"You have no beliefs that are truly your own."

Yaezakura took a deep breath and continued, "I don't know why I'm doing this."

I don’t have any beliefs that are truly my own?

Don’t even know what you are doing?

Kiana hesitated, her expression darkening. "...You can't really say that. I think my beliefs are still very firm."

"Are you looking for Raiden Mei?"

"And Izumo."

Kiana said seriously: "No matter what, I will make up for my previous mistakes."

Yaezakura closed her eyes for a moment and sighed, "I won't comment on your thoughts."

She knew that no matter what she said, Kiana would not change her mind. She was right, her belief was indeed very firm.

"But that's not what I'm talking about."

What she wanted to ask was why Kiana believed in using this power, and what she wanted to do with it.

“…What is that?”

To be frank, if she didn't, Kiana didn't know how long it would take her to find this place she had overlooked.

She opened her eyes, looked directly at Kiana, and asked seriously, "Kiana, why are you using Honkai energy?"

Why use Honkai Energy?

why?

Why?

Because she had no choice.

She lowered her eyes and said, "I have no choice."

This power, which can bring unlimited disasters when used, is a double-edged sword.

She has always, always...

Because there is no choice?

Yae Sakura was stunned. She had thought of many answers, but she didn't expect Kiana's answer was because she had no choice.

The crux of the problem was immediately exposed.

After Kiana said "no choice", she almost understood why Kiana had this symptom.

"So you resist this power?"

"Resistance?"

She wanted to say no, because she had already made her choice, but was she really not resisting?

She placed her right hand on her chest, feeling her beating heart, and pursed her lips: "Maybe."

How could she not resist the power that could drag a world into the abyss with just a touch?

She thought about the planet she was on.

Perhaps the result of her wanton use of Honkai will be the same as that of the People of Plenty and the Antimatter Legion, spreading disaster wherever she goes.

Turn all places like Izumo into the purgatory they are today.

“That’s the crux of the matter.”

"It's not even a question of whether your beliefs are firm or not. It's that you fundamentally resist your own power. Or, in other words, you don't trust your own power at all..."

"How could it not be out of control?"

If a person does not even trust the power on which he relies for survival, how can he truly master this power?

Moreover, Honkai energy is not normal energy, it can distort reality and the mind.

Chapter 55: Accept the collapse?

Kiana hesitated to speak.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
