She thought something serious had happened, but it turned out to be just a cutscene.
Indeed, she hadn't explained the specific details of her battle with Cocolia in detail before, so Kiana's surprise was understandable.
But Kiana's next words surprised her.
Kiana: "But...but she didn't stab me..."
Then, Kiana recounted everything that had just happened, and then...
star:"……"
fluorescent:"……"
Ling: "..."
Kiana: "Why are they all out?"
Ying: "No, I came out because I saw that Kiana's storyline was having problems."
Ling: "I ordered one more."
Xing: "How long have the symptoms of repeating a grade lasted?"
Ahem, let's get back to the main topic.
Xing sat down on a treasure chest that had somehow appeared there, looking quite imposing, and began to ponder deeply.
Ultimately, she proposed a possibility,
Xing: "You mean... did you trigger the [being stabbed] condition, which then forcibly triggered the cutscene?"
Xing: "After all, although it didn't pierce your body, the ice spear did indeed 'pass through' you, just like when you were 'Glanced at' by Destruction before, it just triggered a key plot point."
Ying: "666"
Ling: "666"
Kiana: "..."
At this moment, Kiana was alone and bewildered in the so-called "Destiny Space".
Clearly, she had once again encountered the "code" that the chat group hadn't "cleaned up."
so……
"Who wrote this program for this car?!"
Within that space of destiny, a silent cry came from a white fur ball.
Chapter Seventy: The Herald of Flame Descends Upon This World!
Since things have come to this, let's just follow the instructions and get through the story...
Although I was speechless, since I was already here, I could only keep moving forward.
Fortunately, after the story ends, I should gain a new Herrscher power, right?
After all, Xing directly unlocks [Destiny], while for me, it's unlocking powers, right?
Walking through the Destiny Space, Kiana initially tried to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void to locate the outside world and see if she could get out directly.
However, it is clear that this space does not exist in the material world; it originates from Kiana's consciousness. In other words, at this moment, Kiana is in her own consciousness space.
This space records how Cocolia gradually descended into depravity.
From the initial confidence after taking over as the Great Guardian, to gradually learning everything in this position, he was slowly choked by the suffocating silence.
When the fate of a world hangs on a single thread, is that fair to the thread itself?
Clearly, Cocolia was the thread that held her together, and in the end, she chose to compromise with the Star Core.
The closer Kiana got to the end, the heavier her heart became.
In their quest for a glimmer of hope, the people of this world have tried countless methods, but in the end... the star core continues to shine as brightly as ever.
Despair is something that everyone who ascends to the position of Guardian must experience.
At the end of that memory, a small figure stands quietly.
That is the will of the guardian.
"A mere passerby... yet burdened with the fate of a world..."
The voice seemed to be spoken by hundreds of people at once, ethereal and distant, and those eyes gazed at Kiana as if scrutinizing her.
"So be it... what else is there to lose... what else can't I try?"
"Go and touch the light of the amber... [Pioneer], see if the [Preservation] within you is strong enough... strong enough to attract His gaze..."
The guardian's gaze drifted into the distance, and following her line of sight, Kiana saw the [Plague Gem] slowly floating in the air...
Wait a minute...
What's floating there?
Gazing at the Plague Gem that quietly awaited her, Kiana's face, which had been moved by the Builders' will to protect her, was once again touched.
An extremely complex emotion welled up in her heart.
On one hand, it was because she had glimpsed the Guardian's memories and gained a deeper understanding of [Preservation]; on the other hand, it was because the Plague Gem before her was somewhat distracting, yet it involuntarily led her to another memory...
The so-called "protection" may have already been touched upon by her from the very beginning.
I want to protect my family, I want to safeguard my friends, I want to watch over the future of humanity...
Along the way, so many people have sacrificed so much to protect her: her stinky dad, her aunt, the class president, Bronya, Mei, and...
And then there was Teacher Himeko, who sacrificed her life to awaken her…
It was their love that made Kiana choose to move forward back then, and now, in response to their expectations, even in a different world, she will do her best to protect everything that should be protected!
Looking at the all-too-familiar Plague Gem, Kiana's eyes were filled with determination; this gem symbolized far too many things.
Kiana walked up to the gem and slowly reached out her hand to grasp it.
Blazing flames erupted from the gem, the intense heat instilling fear, but Kiana held it firmly in her hand, not letting go even for a moment despite the heat.
But how could such a temperature possibly make her let go?
"Come here...!"
Kiana frowned, then used all her strength to pull the gem in her hand backward. The gem, which seemed to be embedded in this space, actually began to loosen slightly under Kiana's power.
Finally! With Kiana's unwavering will, the Plague Gem successfully fell into Kiana's palm and merged into her body!
The raging flames transformed into a cloak behind her, and her pure white armor appeared exceptionally holy under the glow of the fire. Her long white hair swayed in the flames, and within her azure eyes, a flame called "Guardian" was burning invisibly.
"Keng!!!"
Another long bell rang out, and the giant god lowered his hammer, swinging it down once more towards the starry sky. A new era began with the sound of the hammer striking, and the sparks that flew out as the hammer fell were meant to bring a glimmer of hope to the world that was in a state of despair and decline!
Kripper, the one who "preserves" Kiana's heart, acknowledged the "preservation" within her and cast his gaze upon her...
Above the Yalilo VI, a phantom image covering the entire planet flashed by...
“I have sensed your will.”
Kiana, in her [Herrscher of Flame] form, slowly closed her eyes. The souls who once fought for this planet entrusted their wishes to her. So... she would bring the flame that belonged to this planet!
"With this raging fire..."
Kiana slowly raised the Blazing King Sword in her hand, gazing at the Destiny Space that was gradually dissipating before her. The cloak behind her, which moved without wind, transformed into flame-like wings, and the Blazing King Sword in her hand blazed brightly, almost burning the entire space to ashes!
"Nothing can be cut off!!!"
"boom!!!"
Fire instantly engulfed the entire world!
At the same time, Kiana's consciousness returned to the real world, and her clothes transformed into the appearance in that consciousness space. In that consciousness space, what she saw and played was only a fleeting moment to the outside world.
The unstoppable, sky-burning flames engulfed Cocolia's figure almost instantly!
"This is impossible!! This is impossible!!! This world is destined to fall apart! How could it possibly be!!"
Under the scorching flames, "Cocolia" had completely lost her mind. She was like a ferocious beast that killed people, venting her power everywhere.
Within those flames, the extreme cold ice melted, and the figure protecting himself within the ice was still accumulating that world-destroying power!
Clouds began to gather in the sky, and then...
A meteorite was born in the hands of Cocolia and fell rapidly toward the earth with an aura that seemed to destroy the world!
Gazing at the "meteor," Kiana showed no fear. She simply gripped the King's Sword tightly, and within her, the powers of the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Flame activated simultaneously. The flames on the King's Sword burned even hotter, and the flames behind her made Kiana resemble a shooting star flying backwards. She swung the Sword of Endgame towards the meteor without hesitation...
Chapter 71 Starting with zero frames, instantly killing Cocolia!
"This sword is for Belberg!"
With Kiana's furious roar, the wildfire instantly ignited the entire sky! The flames dyed the sky crimson, and under that single sword strike, the whole world appeared utterly pale!
With this one sword strike, the "meteor" shattered, the "false god" fell, the wind and snow stopped, and the ice melted away...
"Keng..."
He set down the scorching king's sword, its blade leaving a fiery groove in the floor of the creation platform.
Kiana held the sword hilt, gazing at Cocolia falling from the sky, and then... slowly raised the King's Sword towards her.
At the same time, along with Kiana's movements, the massive creation engine, as large as a mountain, also started to move. It slowly rose up, causing a tremor that caused the accumulated snow to collapse and rocks to tumble down.
The red electronic eye silently watched the "Great Guardian" fall to the ground, as if it utterly despised her act of "betrayal".
"Cocolia, you have lost."
Kiana said calmly.
"Sister Kiana!"
The group, brought down by the Creation Engine, quickly ran to Kiana's side. Looking at the dashing Kiana before them, March Seven's eyes widened in amazement, her face slightly flushed. She seemed very interested in Kiana's outfit, but now was clearly not the time for her to study Kiana's clothes.
March turned the arrows back on the defeated Cocolia, remaining vigilant.
Her past experience in pioneering had taught her that since the enemy had not yet completely lost their fighting capacity, she absolutely could not let her guard down!
As expected, under everyone's wary gazes, Cocolia, who had been almost instantly killed by Kiana with a flick of her wrist, let out a bitter laugh. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, she slowly stood up, and then...
That power belonging to the star core surged forth once more!
