Is Kiana in Onphalos?

Pinocchio is currently making intensive preparations for the Harmony Festival.

[Global pop star Miss Robin is traveling to Onfaros, where she may be welcoming the most important guest to this year's Harmonious Music Festival.]

at the same time.

Here.

Onpharos, the holy city of Ohma.

The pale dawn gradually appeared in the eastern sky. Then, little by little, the sky turned a fish-belly white.

A soft, rosy dawn slowly appeared on the horizon.

Like oil paint that is gradually dyed.

She wasn't particularly glamorous, but she was very gentle.

It was as if the first ray of light this morning was so bright and beautiful.

The air was so fresh.

wow-

Kiana suddenly opened the curtain on her balcony.

I walked to the balcony, put my hands on the balcony railing, leaned forward, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

I can tell!

She's in a great mood!

Text: 064. The Changes in Onphalus. Change! Change everything!

In fact!

I've had ownership of this upgraded Hipper Imperial Scepter for several days now.

Kiana only finished making some adjustments and modifications to Onfaros in the last two days.

Her main concern is that, just as she said before, she wants to change her world into the way she likes it.

therefore!

What kind of appearance does she like?

She then made sweeping changes to Onphalus.

While it doesn't completely change the background and worldview, it's at least noticeably different now.

Or strictly speaking.

Today is only her first day experiencing this new world.

It is Onphalus, the beginning of a new era.

Not only her, but also other people, other members of the Golden Descendants, felt refreshed and invigorated as they opened the window and felt the first breeze of the morning.

In reality, the changes in the world were almost imperceptible, like a gentle rain. Although they seemed to cause a great stir, they were not particularly disruptive, and at least did not have a significant impact on their lives.

Sensoryly, it seems as if it should always be this way.

but!

This is just Kiana deliberately taking care of everyone, as if the timelines have been directly merged.

There is no deviation.

There's nothing I'm not used to.

There's absolutely no sense of incongruity!

It seems I've gotten used to it all along.

However, Aglaia and her group still wanted the public to know what the situation was like.

So they organized the changes Kiana made, published them, and told all the people about them.

That's probably all there is to it!

Only then can the public more intuitively understand what changes have taken place in the world that you thought hadn't changed, and how it is different from what it used to be.

It's early morning now.

A large crowd had already gathered in Place de la Cefalège.

There are educated people among them.

I read the announcement aloud to everyone.

[Ohmah will adopt an unprecedented strategy of combining theocracy and human rule.]

[That is, the twelve Titans represent the divine authority of Onphalus. They symbolize divinity and order, and no longer belong to any particular city-state, but rather to all of Onphalus.]

Corresponding to them are the twelve manifestations of authority. As the fundamental principle governing the world, they will maintain the stability of Onphalus.

【…】

The Twelve Golden Descendants, also known as the Twelve Demigods, also exist.

However, they symbolize rule by men, and rule by kings. They will lead Onphalus, and us, to a more prosperous future.

They are the agents of the Titans, and like them, wield the twelve powers.

The various kingdoms of the earth will gradually recover and rebuild, and while the twelve demigods will be more concentrated in Ohma, many cities associated with their respective faiths will become their fiefdoms.

Leave it to them; let it develop according to their ideas.

【…】

Qi) Yingling Yisi Wu@jiusi Zhou Bayana was not stingy in telling the people of Onphalus the truth about the past.

Therefore, after learning the whole truth, the public naturally felt fear, unease, and existential doubts, but some were clearly shocked.

Perhaps it was because so many facts, presented with such a powerful impact, were difficult for them to accept at first.

but!

What can we do if we don't accept it?

A new era is surging in, like a tidal wave.

There's simply not much time for you to wallow in self-pity or lament about anything.

Moreover! The fact that we were once merely firewood, waste material, nourishment for the Great Lord of Annihilation - Iron Tomb! That is clearly a thing of the past!

The so-called Great Lords of Annihilation have all been killed by Kiana.

It was Kiana who truly broke the cycle of reincarnation and saved the world!

Once this fact is accepted, there's no question about it! Kiana's reputation in Onpharos will naturally rise even higher!

But she didn't care.

She is now the only god of Onphalus.

Do whatever you want!

Aglaia and the others once suggested that it would be better not to say these things, or at least not to be so blunt.

But Kiana said...

From now on, we will have to start connecting with the entire universe.

What's the difference between saying it now and saying it later? Might as well keep it simple and just say it now!

Anyway, it doesn't matter what the inside story of the old world is.

Even now, everything has changed in the new world.

Whether you accept it or not!

Kiana doesn't really consider their feelings.

after all.

They weren't the demigods of the Golden Bloodline she liked.

It wasn't Aglaia or the others. She couldn't be bothered to care.

Therefore, the public has had to accept that the world of Onfaros, and even now, is a data-driven world.

If you don't understand this data-driven world, think about the network Aglaia created, and the communication tablets she crafted.

Let's try to understand it a little.

That should make things quite clear.

My own world is virtual!

Even yourself is virtual!

"Why! If it's a wonderful world, why...why not go back to the Golden Age? The Golden Age, how wonderful that would be..."

"Yes, I want to too!"

"No death, no hunger... everyone is so happy!"

"..."

Some people said this.

But! Was the so-called golden age truly a time of happiness?

The answer is no!

After all, the Golden Wars of the past were roughly in that era.

There was no death, no strife, no treachery; the so-called three Titans of Calamity had not yet descended upon the world.

At first glance, it does seem quite wonderful.

But as Nicardo said, "Conflict is a necessary wound in the world!"

Without conflict, the world would not be real.

Without death, the people of Onphalus would continue to multiply and expand, eventually leading to a reversal of fortune.

This is very clear in the neighboring Immortal Boat Alliance.

The general public lacks perspective and is unaware of this. However, the twelve golden descendants strongly support it.

There are also tricks.

Trickery represents deception and lies.

At first glance, lies don't seem good.

But actually! Not all lies are unacceptable.

If we lived in a world where there were no lies and only the truth could be told, it would be a chilling thought, wouldn't it?

therefore.

In Kiana's opinion.

The beautiful world she desires is one of balance; the twelve Titans symbolize twelve elements, each of which is essential.

Indispensable!

in her vision.

The relationship between Titans and demigods could be modeled after the original one, drawing inspiration from the relationship between Star Gods and Commanders. However, Star Gods are more about divinity.

This is not what Kiana actually wanted.

Because in her eyes, the Titans do indeed symbolize divinity, but they were also once the Golden Blood.

They also possess human nature.

Similarly, demigods are not entirely human, nor are they entirely like humans, doing whatever they please. To some extent, they still bear responsibilities and possess a certain degree of divinity.

and so!

If I have to describe it.

Perhaps now, the Titans and Demigods are more a reflection of Kiana's inspiration from the neighboring game, "The Tide of Time," and the situation of the Lord of Time and the Lord of Time's Resonators.
