The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Without these biological characteristics, it essentially loses its identity as a living organism.

Staring at the large golden cube before her, Kiana's expression gradually shifted from calm to serious. The opponent, after being bound, didn't react with alarm, merely controlling its size to fluctuate, causing the light it emitted to dim or brighten with each change.

It's like breathing, both magical and bizarre.

To be honest, it's a bit unsettling... its true form.

How did Archbishop Otto manage to put up with it?

"I didn't expect to be caught by you." The sudden electronic voice interrupted Kiana's thoughts.

She stared silently at the incredibly mysterious supercomputer before her.

"What? Surprised?"

"I believe I will always end up in the hands of extremely intelligent people."

Void Treasury, confident that Kiana couldn't solve her problem, resorted to arrogant and sarcastic remarks.

However...

"Heh, don't think you'll let me off the hook just because you praise me!" Kiana's face was cold, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

"Oh no, that's not what I meant. I actually meant to say..."

"Alright, alright, Void Treasury. What do you want to say? Tell me. Didn't you bind me with Judah back then? This time, I'll let you taste what it's like to be bound!"

Celine intervened in the argument without hesitation, and then mischievously kicked the large block with her delicate white foot, which was covered by colorful little boots.

They were incredibly arrogant.

Out with the old, in with the new, an unforgettable Lantern Festival (Liyue New Year): Chapter Four: The Beautiful and Charming Lady Otto (Fake)

The position where Xilin's little foot kicked was very clever. If you were to deduce the shape of a normal person's face, you would be sure that she was kicking towards the bridge of the nose.

If any living organism with the basic characteristics of life were treated like this, it would most likely panic and become angry.

However, the Void Treasury is different; as a supercomputer left behind by a previous civilization, it does not possess the characteristics that a so-called life form should have.

That is fear.

Therefore, when faced with Kiana's Judah Binding, its reaction was so indifferent that it barely reacted.

And so, the two remained in an eerie silence for a long time, until finally, Xilin, unable to contain her impatience, kicked the object in frustration.

"Hello? Hello, hello?"

"Is there something you need?" Void Treasury replied nonchalantly.

"What's going on? You've been captured! Aren't you afraid we'll lock you in a dark room and imprison you in this world for millions of years?!"

Tens of millions of years of darkness...

Such torture is something no one would dare to try. This awareness and sense of self gradually fade away over time, leaving only the fear of spending the rest of one's life in darkness.

Kiana herself couldn't believe it...

However, faced with such a terrifying warning, Void Treasury remained calm and said that he was somewhat detached from worldly affairs.

"If you want to, there's nothing I can do to stop you."

"Uh, you're already lying down?" Xilin scratched her head, somewhat speechless. "You were such a vigorous tool, how come you're all limp now? You need to stand up!"

As they talked, the little guy suddenly revealed a kind of mutual appreciation mixed with disappointment.

Kiana initially found it strange, but upon closer inspection...

This guy always sees himself as a tool, so it's not surprising that he understands the Void Treasury, who is also a tool. Perhaps it's pity for someone of the same kind?

"My system cannot deduce the meaning behind your words," Void Treasury's reply interrupted Kiana's thoughts.

At this moment, this pre-civilization supercomputer was silently bound by chains, showing absolutely no intention of breaking free.

It seems that being trapped doesn't really bother it. There's not even a need to break free.

The reason for this idea is, in essence,...

"There is no concept of collapse in this world. If there is no collapse, then I have no reason to exist."

A very simple reason, yet quite ironic.

This was the thought that flashed through Kiana's mind.

Unlike himself and everyone at St. Freya Academy, he couldn't return to a normal life at his own will. In fact, one could say that his will itself was born from the concept of Honkai.

Now that there is nothing left to expel, there is no longer anything for it to strive for.

This... perhaps makes it easier to understand why this computer, which not long ago went to great lengths to deceive the beings in the heavens, intending to render everyone's efforts futile, ultimately had to compromise and is now even its physical form destroyed, reverting to its initial state. Why, even after being captured, does it show no reaction?

"Honestly, if there's no meaning, then go find meaning." Sirin spoke again, bringing Kiana back from her thoughts. She then shook the chains in her hands.

They urged this pre-civilized computer to give them a reply.

"Hmm... that's a good suggestion. However, I don't have any particular ideas right now, so I hope you can offer some advice if necessary."

With just a few words, the pre-civilized computer eliminated its hostility towards Kiana and Sirin.

Or rather, he never showed any hostility towards her from beginning to end.

After parting ways with Otto, its actions revolved solely around the ultimate mission of "saving humanity from the Honkai." Now, it finds itself in another world far removed from the Honkai...

We definitely need to go back and continue expelling the Honkai!

"I understand everything now!"

Almost instantly, Void Treasury began to writhe as if it had gone mad. Watching it constantly change its form, it seemed as if it would break free of its restraints at any moment, cross the two realms, return, and continue to fight against the sealed Honkai.

Unfortunately, this guy didn't have long to be smug before he was kicked back to his original form by Little Sirin.

"What are you doing? I told you not to stand up straight, did I? You're going crazy!"

The agitation of the Void Treasury ceased after being kicked by this little guy.

After hesitating for a while, it finally asked:

"Do you have a way to get me back?"

"Of course I am! I'm way better than you!" Sirin said, hands on her hips, looking incredibly smug. Kiana, standing beside her, didn't know whether to tease her or agree, so she could only reach out and poke Sirin's cute little face.

"Ugh."

After having her face rubbed, Xilin waved her hand reluctantly before finally escaping her master's clutches.

After blushing and glaring at the other person, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly addressed Void Treasury:

"You can go back, but you'll have to listen to me for a while. Can you do that? If not, then you can just stay here and wait for that smart person to come and rescue you."

Faced with such an unreasonable demand, Void Treasury clearly hesitated for a moment.

Me, obey me? What kind of nonsense is this?

Could they have some long-term plan to use me? If so...

Forget it. Let's take it one step at a time, since there's nothing to get rid of right now anyway.

With that in mind, Void Treasury agreed.

Unfortunately, it had no idea what consequences this easy agreement would bring...

"Hehe, you're so obedient. Hmm, to be honest, you look a little creepy right now." Celine muttered playfully, her chin resting on her hand. "But it's okay, I have a really great idea. It can make you more charming, and even more useful to us!"

"what?"

"that is..."

Upon hearing Xiao Xilin's request, Xu Kong Wanzang was immediately stunned, then asked what the point of doing so was. He would absolutely not comply without a suitable reason.

Seeing the guy's intense reaction, Kiana looked at Sirin with great curiosity.

I want to figure out how this little guy plans to persuade him to do this unprecedented and unparalleled feat.

result...

"You must understand, the void holds all things. The truly impossible things are those that were destined from the very beginning."

Upon hearing this, Kiana was completely bewildered, and Void Archives fell into a long silence.

Finally, in a brief silence, amidst Kiana's confusion...

It actually agreed?

"Very good! Cough cough, before I transform you, I need to give you a name, um... a meaningful name."

And so, amidst little Sirin's laughter...

The shackles of the Void Treasury were released, and after landing, it began to construct a body following the instructions. Before long, with the help of Sirin, it was complete.

It became her...

After successfully completing her mission, Kiana exchanged a gorgeous green dress from the system space and somewhat incongruously handed it to the drastically changed Void Repository. At the same time, she uttered the name and title that Sirin had imposed on her...

"Miss Otto? Uh, hello. Would you like me to show you the way?"

Out with the old, in with the new, an unforgettable Lantern Festival (Liyue New Year): Chapter 5 Mei: What on earth did you pick up?!

A crane flaps its wings and soars through the sky with its companions.

The bright sunshine seemed to have nothing to stop them from soaring through the sky; even the clouds were very sparse, incomparable to the snow-capped mountains covered in white clouds.

However, after wandering to the end, the cranes had to bypass the magnificent building blocking their way: Wangshu Inn.

This inn, situated at a transportation hub in Liyue, is truly magnificent. Its prime location and towering elevation rival even the distant mountains.

The Wangshu Inn was packed with people. As the year-end approached, the place was filled with guests who had invited their friends and family.

"Waiter, bring me the wine!"

"okay!"

"Hey, isn't this Miss Gan Yu from Liyue Harbor? It's been a while since we've seen her. What brings her to the inn at this hour? Are you taking a break from your busy schedule to enjoy some time with your friends?"

"No, you've misunderstood, sir. Actually..."

Gan Yu offered a somewhat reluctant rebuttal, but ultimately dismissed the old businessman, whom she had met a few times, with an extremely gentle tone.
