People in Izumo, make Honkai great again

"...Leave these matters to me and Xilin. Raiden Mei, do you want to go with us, or stay and take care of her?"

Holding the Lan Dao, Walter adjusted the frame of his glasses and asked with a double meaning.

Raiden Mei looked up at Walter, and after a second of silence, she said, "I'll stay and take care of Kiana."

"it is good."

Walter put away his Lan Dao and turned around, saying without a word: "Keep in touch at all times. Xilin, let's go back to the headquarters."

Xilin glanced at the somewhat weak Kiana with concern, and said with a heavy heart: "I know."

Although Shina Tohiko has been killed, Kiana said that more troublesome things are still happening. They are still very short on time and need to get things going outside as soon as possible.

Kiana watched Sirin and Walter open a space door and leave, and her body seemed completely exhausted as she hung on Raiden Mei.

"what happened?"

"I feel a little weak... I haven't been able to adapt to this kind of power yet."

Kiana said this half-seriously, and found a place to sit down with Mei's help.

After Mei helped her sit down, she immediately took out the recovery equipment that Kiana had given her before, wanting to treat Kiana.

But Kiana held her hand and stopped her from doing that.

"It's useless. I'm not injured."

Seeing Kiana holding her hand, Mei was silent again and slowly put the things away.

"your eyes……"

"Eye?"

Kiana was stunned, reached out to touch her eyes, and murmured: "Has it turned golden?"

"Yes, it turned golden. Why?"

"...The power of Honkai, perhaps it's because I haven't been able to fully control it yet."

Kiana gave a wry smile.

She was only halfway through the progress when she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer. She couldn't imagine whether she could maintain her sanity when she completely became a Herrscher.

This power?

Just now, Kiana took action and killed Shina Touhiko, who almost wiped out their entire army, in just a few minutes. That power was terrifying.

Mei took a deep breath. Her heart was still confused. She lowered her head and whispered, "He is suspicious of you."

Kiana remained silent.

She knew Mei was talking about Walter, whose trust in Kiana during the battle turned into suspicion after the battle, after she showed her strength to easily kill Shina Touhiko.

It's not just Walter.

Perhaps even Xilin, who had been a little absent-minded just now, had some doubts about her.

"Kiana, what on earth is going on?"

Mei looked at her seriously and asked.

"...Do you believe me?"

Kiana realized that she had thought too highly of people. She shouldn't have revealed that she knew about Honkai and the truth about Honkai.

She killed Shina Touhiko, but also succeeded in arousing the vigilance of others.

Honkai has a close relationship with her. As a mysterious visitor from outer space, is Kiana really as harmless as she appears?

The destruction brought about by her appearance has caused more harm to Izumo than to demons and gods.

Chapter 82 Because I like you.

"I think I should give you my answer."

Mei stared at the lost Kiana, her reason and trust in Kiana conflicted, and in the end, her trust in Kiana prevailed.

She and Kiana had only known each other for a few months, and her understanding of Kiana was just the tip of the iceberg.

She didn't know Kiana's past, nor did she know why Kiana came to Izumo.

This mysterious person who suddenly appeared in her life occupied the most important place in her heart in just a few months.

She was willing to risk everything to stick to her own ideas and trust Kiana.

"He suspected that I had staged this myself, didn't he?"

Mei responded with silence. She didn’t know what Walter was thinking just now, but it was indeed possible.

Kiana is very good at restraining Shina Touhiko after his Honkai transformation, and she can immediately find a way to deal with the high-intensity Honkai energy.

Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences.

"It does have something to do with me."

Mei's eyes widened in silence.

Fortunately, Kiana didn't keep the audience on suspense, but continued, "Ever since Takemiya Raijin, I've known that Honkai energy can infect demons and gods, transforming them into Honkai creatures. I was the one who brought the Honkai on, and I anticipated this happening from the beginning. Fortunately, I wasn't wrong. I do have the ability to deal with all creatures born from the Honkai."

"So these things are related to me, I am aware of them, and I am not wrong."

Mei's throat felt dry. "Because of the nothingness you mentioned earlier?"

"Yes, to better deal with nothingness."

Kiana was a bit desperate. After seeing the harm caused by the collapse in this battle, she completely understood one thing: it was impossible to pass the level perfectly. It was either nothingness or collapse. She couldn't save everyone, so every time she saved one more person, it would be a gain.

"What exactly is nothingness?"

"...After you kill all the ghosts and gods, you will know what nothingness really is."

Kiana didn't know how to explain it, because she only knew that Izumo died in nothingness, but she didn't know how Izumo was exterminated.

Mei clenched her fist and then released it, saying somewhat weakly: "Walter is suspicious of you. He will also tell others what happened here, and more people will doubt you."

She was willing to believe Kiana.

Trust the Kiana you know.

"it does not matter."

Kiana shook her head: "I can bear it, and I'm not innocent to begin with."

From her perspective, she did nothing wrong, because even if she did nothing, these people would still die. By doing this, she could give Guiyun a glimmer of hope.

But that's not how things are understood.

She is not even from Izumo, so what qualifications does she have to make such a decision for everyone in this world without others knowing?

"You obviously don't need to do this."

Mei placed her hands on her shoulders and said in a suppressed tone, "You could have concealed your relationship with Honkai or done nothing. You didn't have to sacrifice anything for it. Why?"

“…Because I like you.”

Kiana, whose mentality has changed a little, calmly tells the truth.

She had originally planned to wait until a more appropriate time to say this.

Mei's eyes widened, and the hand on her shoulder retracted, she was dizzy by her words: "Like, like?"

It's not like she hasn't met people who confessed their love to her in the past, but she had no interest in any of them and rejected the confessions of those men and women very coldly.

Training, kendo, and searching for the missing father.

This is all she has lived through for the past seventeen years.

Mei Raiden actually had a premonition, but when she really heard Kiana say that she liked her, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered and shocked.

I guessed right...

It's actually true.

"Yes, I like you."

She lowered her head, her voice still calm, not at all like she was confessing her feelings to someone she liked: "So, I arrogantly wanted to change the fate of this world, thinking that no matter what I did, the outcome couldn't get any worse, so I arbitrarily introduced variables into this world."

"Honkai will give rise to Herrschers who can wield various powers. Just as the Twelve Demons are special among demons, Herrschers are as special as the Twelve Demons."

"I am a natural-born Herrscher. Although I haven't fully transformed into a Herrscher yet, I can still use some of the weakened power—the power of the Saint."

"It's the same power that was used to suppress Shina Touhiko just now. The power to suppress, strip away, and perfectly control Houkai energy."

"It's not controlled by me, nor is it weak, but I have an insurmountable power over all Honkai creatures."

"Perhaps to them, I am God."

Arrogantly comparing herself to a 'god,' Kiana's face lacked arrogance, only a wry smile. "But I can't stop the devastation brought to this planet by the Honkai. I can't control all of the Honkai energy. In fact, the stronger I become, the more powerful Izumo's Honkai will become, giving rise to more disasters and Honkai creatures."

"Is this what you want to know?"

Kiana pursed her lips and mustered up the courage to look up at Mei, who seemed a little dazed. Her eyes, as beautiful as amethyst, without a trace of color, stared at her blankly.

"So... it's because of me?"

"Do not."

Kiana was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "More importantly, I can't watch a world go to the abyss before my eyes, and I could change everything, but do nothing."

It is impossible for her to not use the system for her entire life. Turning it on earlier or later is actually just time she uses to convince herself.

This has nothing to do with others.

Mei didn't believe her denial, Kiana's previous sentence was still "Because I like you".

There is no sign yet that the demons and gods can destroy Izumo, but the collapse has definitely destroyed an entire continent.

They are now standing on this dead continent, and perhaps they are the only two living people in the entire continent.

...Am I really qualified to hold this imperial sword that symbolizes the slaying of demons for Izumo?

"What do you want to do next?"

"…Try to preserve as many living forces as possible, and then find a way to sever the shadow of nothingness that shrouds Izumo."

Even though it can't be seen now, it doesn't mean that the shadow of nothingness hasn't covered the entire Izumo.

They just haven't realized it yet.

By the time they finally realized it, it was already irreversible.

"They won't believe you."

"I don't need anyone to believe in me!"

Kiana said firmly.

"Kiana..."

"Mei, I've figured it out. I just need to do what I think is right. As for whether it is right or not, or how others judge me, I don't care."

Chapter 83: Heaven’s Winter Clothes.

Thinking too much will only drain yourself.

She is no longer the ordinary person she was before traveling through time, and it is time for her to adjust her position and mindset.

"I only care about your opinion."

As time passed, the gold in Kiana's eyes disappeared and returned to pure blue in front of Mei's eyes.

It's really... a foul.

"I……"

Kiana reached out and covered Mei's mouth, stopping her from saying anything, fearing that she would hear words that would shake her beliefs.

"But even if you want to hate me, I won't stop."

She couldn't stop.
