The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Or rather...

At this moment, Qianjie fell into rare deep thought.

He never thought about what would happen when it was all over, let alone when it ended suddenly.

Isn't all of this happening far too suddenly?

"Well, but not entirely."

Seeing that Qianjie remained silent for a long time, Kiana assumed he hadn't understood the meaning of her words, so she continued to explain: "Honkai cannot be destroyed unless civilization itself is destroyed."

However, sacrificing the process to achieve the goal ultimately resulted in achieving the goal of collapse.

Upon hearing her words, many heroes appeared deep in thought, even the most impulsive Qian Jie scratched the back of his head.

It seems she's processing the information she just received...

"Therefore, eliminating the Honkai is unrealistic, but other means can be used to achieve this goal. The means we have adopted..."

It means letting the will descend and then sealing it away.

will?

Upon hearing Kiana's explanation, the heroes all looked puzzled.

However, compared to her confused companions, Alicia, who was standing behind Kiana, appeared much calmer.

After all, it's safe to say that it would have been impossible for her to have not hooked up with the Will of Heaven, given that she was just one step away from successfully transforming into a Herrscher.

Fortunately, they were interrupted at the last moment.

So, the method Kiana mentioned is...

"A guinea pig? You mean you've already... caught that guy?"

Mebius, a fusion warrior and researcher, arrived late and, not wearing a swimsuit, seemed out of place at the beach party.

Of course, she wasn't there to attend any party, so she naturally wouldn't make any concessions.

"No."

Kiana slowly turned her head, looking directly into the scientist's eyes: "She was sealed away by my friend... at her own expense."

"Is that so? Your friend is really amazing, hmm..."

Because he had never witnessed Sirin's immense power after her final transformation, Mebius could not truly understand her situation.

Of course, this is not actually important.

Because after everything is over, the things people need to consider are often more complex than the battle itself...

The first thing to be affected is...

"So how long can this so-called seal last?"

Mebius voiced the question on everyone's mind.

Since you say you've sealed away the Honkai, you should know how long that seal can last, right?

"I don't know, it could be a hundred or two hundred years, or it could be forever."

Kiana shook her head, then spread her hands to indicate that she could not accurately predict the time. At the same time, she said to Dr. Mei and Kevin, who had come with her, "Although the Honkai has been controlled, the Honkai energy still exists."

"I know."

Wearing a blue bikini swimsuit over a white lab coat, Dr. Mei adjusted her glasses and then asked, "So, do you have any way to completely eliminate the Honkai, Kiana?"

"Complete elimination is impossible."

Kiana shook her head again, and then told Dr. Mei and many heroes the story of the post-Honkai world.

The heroes were shocked when they heard that people in the future could already suppress and use the suppressor to control the Honkai phenomenon.

"You mean to say that the utilization of Honkai energy has reached an extremely precise level in the future?"

"And it can also create facilities to monitor..."

"It feels like the collapse of that era has become a new type of clean energy?"

New energy sources?

That's an interesting point...

"Maybe so, anyway, I've already told you the method."

Kiana put one hand on her hip and said.

"Hmm, that's a good proposal. To bring the Honkai under control? It feels...interesting, hehe..."

Möbius chuckled softly, then pulled Dr. May aside and whispered something to her.

Perhaps they are discussing how to create a Honkai Controller, and then control the Honkai to lead humanity to a better tomorrow?

In short, all of this may no longer concern me?

After quickly completing the final steps, Kiana let out a long sigh of relief, then slowly walked towards the beach, intending to take a swim before leaving.

However, before she even reached the beach, a man who never forgot to wear a mask while swimming blocked her way.

"Herrscher, now that the Honkai is over, let's enjoy this battle!"

Qianjie stretched out his hand menacingly, looking like he was ready to fight me for hundreds of years.

Unfortunately...

"Alright, alright, Qianjie~ If you keep jumping around like that, your wounds won't heal~"

Before Qianjie could fully commit to the war, Alicia mischievously poked his plaster cast.

Immediately, despite his still-unhealed injuries, he was filled with a burning hatred, yet stubbornly refused to cry out in pain.

He could only watch as Kiana bypassed him and swam towards the ocean...

Like a mermaid returning to the sea, she sank to the surface...

...

In her final days, Kiana visited the heroes, thus fulfilling Mei's hopes and dreams.

In today's world, not a single hero has perished.

Although this is just one possible possibility among many worlds.

But Kiana felt that this alone was enough.

As time went by, she could feel the world rejecting her.

Perhaps by keeping it a secret, I can stay in this world for a few more years.

But if it comes at the cost of sacrificing the peace and tranquility she has gained in this world, then she would rather leave quickly.

However, before leaving, Kiana wanted to visit someone.

Behind the rebuilt island villas lies a large cemetery.

Many people are buried here. Of course, some of them are not fully recovered, so they can only be made into cenotaphs. The names are written on many of the tombstones.

However, there are many others who cannot be identified, or whose identities cannot be confirmed for various reasons.

Therefore, there is no signature on the tombstone.

The unnamed epitaph only records the time, place, and person who was buried.

"It feels desolate here, but I don't feel lonely."

As Kiana strolled among the many tombstones, a few ripples stirred within her.

As she looked at the unfamiliar names, a sense of respect welled up within her.

These people all perished in the battle against the Honkai.

Perhaps they each had their own ulterior motives, or perhaps they each had their own ideas.

But for a noble and great cause, these people followed one after another.

Hopefully, seeing this kind of era will bring a smile to their faces.

"Where exactly is it...?"

Following the location from her memory, Kiana walked slowly forward and eventually arrived at an unmarked monument.

To her surprise, at that very moment, an unexpected young girl was standing in front of the monument.

With pink hair, she wore a black and white outfit, her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her eyes were deep and captivating.

She stood before the monument, seemingly gazing into the distance.

She stood ramrod straight, her gaze resolute, her expression indifferent, like a statue, devoid of any emotion, as if everything in her eyes was as insignificant as air.

Kiana never expected to run into her here...

"Aili...Shia? Why are you...?"

Kiana asked, puzzled.

Hearing Kiana's words, Alicia turned around.

After getting a clear look at Kiana's face, the girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

She scrutinized Kiana closely.

In her opinion, the girl in front of her was incredibly beautiful.

She seemed to possess the most perfect skin, perfect features, a perfect nose, perfect lips, and a perfect figure in the world.

From any perspective, the girl in front of me is perfect.

"Hi, Kiana~"

She greeted him warmly, not forgetting to show a sweet smile.

"..."

Seeing that Kiana did not answer, Alicia slowly turned around and then placed the flowers in front of the tombstone.

The two stood one in front of the other, gazing at the nameless monument.

"That day, I saw you carrying a tombstone here and erecting it. I felt that the person buried here must be very important to you. So I came to pay my respects, hehe~ If I offended you, please forgive me."
