Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Ha... In your eyes, what kind of person is my father, Otto Apocalypse?"

Snow gave an amused smile.

"Of course he's a bastard..."

Kiana paused for a moment, then quickly gave her answer.

"Is he really just an idiot...? No... to you, he probably is indeed an idiot..."

Snow shook his head and looked into the distance at Bloodland.

"Um...no...he acknowledged my name at the end...he stopped calling me K423 and started calling me 'Kiana,' and he gave us encouragement and an apology to Theresa at the end..."

"Hmph, what a contradictory guy, but you're right, to me he's basically still a jerk..."

The white-haired knight nodded seriously.

"Remember what I said—'The kind Otto Apocalypse is dead,' Kiana? This isn't our judgment, but his self-mockery..."

"However... is 'he' really dead? He chose to save and raise your sister, and even at the end of his life, he still thought of his granddaughter and hoped you could convey his apology..."

"As for his family... he is always so reliable at times... he will meet all your requests, no matter how unreasonable they may be."

"—Just put the ingredients in the kitchen, and they'll be a delicious meal the next morning—"

"This is the fairytale dream that Theresa believed in every day before St. Freya was established... and it would always come true when she woke up in the morning..."

Snow shook his head and named Otto Apocalypse, a character completely different from Kiana's image of him as a villainous old bastard.

"Hmm... I didn't expect him to have this side to him... So, Otto didn't do any strange tests on you or anything?"

“Of course.” The blonde girl nodded.

"Also, at the end of that trial, he mentioned almost everyone... but not you... or Jiuxiao?"

"No, none of you appeared during the entire trial... It's one thing if you don't exist, but why doesn't Jiuxiao exist either?"

The white-haired knight finally realized that something was amiss during the trial.

"If this is the future you foresaw, then where do you and Jiuxiao stand?"

Kiana stared at Snow, and before the blonde girl could explain, she seemed to have already imagined something...

"Wait, you wouldn't have already... Every time everyone asks Jiuxiao where you went, that guy always gives vague answers... Ugh, you wouldn't be possessing me like the class monitor, would you... In Shenzhou, does this count as invoking a deity to possess you...?"

"Your leaps of thought amaze me... I'm not dead yet!"

A vein throbbed on Snow's forehead, and he glared at her.

"Then what are you?"

The white-haired knight was not to be outdone and glared back as well.

"...Whether you believe it or not, sitting before you right now is a god, an existence similar to the Honkai consciousness, and the god's companion...is naturally also a similar existence..."

"—You were right about at least one thing just now: you were indeed asking a god to possess you... although according to the folk culture of China, true gods don't actually possess human bodies."

The blonde girl's strange, closed eye opened once more, and she sized up the knight before her with displeasure...

"Believe it or not! I feel like you're about to have a mental breakdown..." Kiana shuddered as she was stared at by that strange eye and quickly replied.

"That's not wrong... Only in the mental world within the Stigmata Space can you witness this peculiar scene of humanity and divinity coexisting."

"Do you remember our last moments in Changkong City...?"

"Hmm, I remember... you mean that when you're outside, your two consciousnesses don't appear simultaneously, but rather overlap each other as needed... right?"

Kiana looked at the blonde girl, scratched her head, and became somewhat curious—

"So what happens when the other side completely covers it?"

"If the human aspect is completely dominated, then a human god of the favored civilization will be born... This is the best outcome."

"The side representing God has gained dominion... You want to challenge the Herrscher of the End Pro+? Oh, Pro+ is just a conservative estimate."

"The divine personality will follow the instincts of the Void Tree, filtering out and eliminating unnecessary civilizations and worlds—this is also the worst outcome."

Snow sat on the throne and shook his head.

"So, is there any solution?" Upon hearing the name of the Herrscher of the End, the white-haired knight princess immediately tensed up.

"Of course... you should have already challenged Otto as a false god once... He made a deal with the Honkai consciousness, temporarily linked to the Imaginary Tree, and obtained the authority originally given to the Herrscher."

You mean...?

“That’s right… Before either of my two personality traits completely perished, I was also in a similar false god state—false, and capable of being reversed by [infinity].”

"The only difference is that my father made a deal with the Honkai consciousness, offering himself as a sacrifice... while I... offered myself as a sacrifice."

"Kiana, at some point in the future, when I willingly allow the divine aspect to take over my body, you must reverse that imperfect 'infinity' and truly kill that divine consciousness..."

Snow stared intently at the white-haired knight before him.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Doesn't your conscience hurt?

“Killing a god who doesn’t hold back at all…you’re really putting me in a difficult position, Snow.”

"Although Otto doesn't say it, I can tell that he has been manipulating power with his own personality for a whole Pacific Ocean."

"Your divine personality probably wouldn't release such a vast ocean. No, He would likely go all out...?"

Kiana looked helplessly at the girl on the throne in front of her, complaining that the girl had given her an incredible task.

"You still have companions... Kiana, the backup plans I've made for you go far beyond just you..."

"Sister? Or Mei... No! Maybe sister is okay, but Mei...!"

Snow interrupted the knight's argument.

"It's Walter Young..."

"Teacher Yang...? But Teacher Yang's health has long been..."

"You said it was pineapple pineapple a long time ago? You just listened to that old geezer's lies."

Snow rolled his eyes on the spot.

"That old geezer is running around everywhere in the future, even going to play in parallel worlds."

"Uh..." Kiana scratched her head awkwardly.

"I commissioned Walter Yang to build a special warship... its name is the Glorious Throne."

"Atop the Glorious Covenant rests a very special main cannon—its core is neither a traditional focusing crystal nor an energy restraint field..."

"That was a [Tree of Imaginary Numbers] imbued with the power of the Sea of ​​Quanta, and the main cannon fired at full power through it..."

"—As a symbol of binary opposition, he can briefly seal or suppress the authority belonging to the imaginary gods, and what you need to do is kill the other me at that moment."

The blonde girl looked intently at Kiana, waiting for her answer.

"...If it succeeds, will the Honkai disappear?"

Kiana looked at her blonde companion, waiting for her answer.

"No, and losing Honkai energy is not a good thing, Kiana. It means that a large number of advanced technologies currently used by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy will become useless."

"And this world's civilization is not limited to humans. Those civilizations that have also overcome the trials and utilize Honkai energy... are not always friends."

"Every single star above humanity could become its own enemy."

"The only benefit of this plan's success is that there will be no more Great Collapses or Herrschers being born. Having defeated the 'gods,' you have passed the final test in the symbolic sense of the Imaginary Tree, and civilization can continue to develop in the long term."

"This is the real future, the only truly viable path."

"But sealing away Honkai energy... is ultimately just a form of escapism."

Snow shook his head and told the knight the true meaning of the plan.

"I understand the future... So, I choose to join this plan!"

The white-haired knight reached out his hand to the blonde girl on the throne—

“Well then... welcome to the Divine Authority Squad... or rather, the Divine Authority Project, Ms. Kiana.”

Their hands clasped together, and the alliance was made.

--

"Speaking of which, could we use this main cannon to blast your father, who's in his pseudo-god form...?"

The white-haired knight princess suddenly remembered something and looked at Snow.

"The ending you saw... I will not allow it to happen... He is my father, and I will not allow him to leave me and my mother behind..."

"—I will not allow it, never."

An undeniable voice came from the blonde girl's mouth.

"The 'love' of your Apocalypse family is truly twisted in a way."

"...But how will Sister Karen return then?"

Kiana shrank back as she looked at Snow, who had suddenly become incredibly powerful.

"...That's why I gave you this commission, and even dragged a whole bunch of people into it."

“I want to create new possibilities on the timeline of history, the history of Karen Kaslana living, the possibility of your mother Cecilia Shaniat surviving, and the history of some good old man living on.”

"Then, go and replace or rewrite the old history... and the price is that you need to gather troops... and defeat that 'me'."

"...Although the ending seems like a happy ending, which sounds great, Snow, do you know how wild you've been playing...?"

Kiana stared at Snow, waiting with some curiosity for her answer.

"do not know."

That's a very curt and irresponsible answer.

"Uh, are you sure she won't beat you up, or pin you against the wall and kiss you or something?"

"That's it?"

The blonde girl's tone was full of confidence and disdain, a testament to her invincible strength and aura.

"What if she's sulking with you... Hmm, speaking of which, how is Otto supposed to explain things to Karen?"
