Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

But when she said she stepped down, she actually just sat on the other side.

"Maybe... we have to wait a while." Bella could see that it would take a long time for Kiana to come down after taking a shower. The so-called shower was just a very superficial excuse.

----

"Is this a dream again?" Silin opened her eyes after falling asleep. She once again came to the "Saint Freya Academy" in her dream.

"No... Actually, I want to meet her." In the dream world, Xilin is always more frank, even if it's just a little bit.

But Xilin actually knows a lot of things.

The first time she entered the dream was an accident, but the second time and this time, Xilin had to admit that she actually "wanted" to come here.

"Hey, come out." Xilin waited for a while, but did not see the girl. Xilin shouted loudly with some confusion.

But the girl still did not appear.

"What's going on? Didn't she say that this dream was created by her and me together?" Xilin did not feel the breath of the girl.

[It's impossible for you and Kiana to be together.] Suddenly, a voice appeared in Xilin's mind.

The sound was extremely far away, yet extremely clear.

"Who is it?!" Xilin's eyes widened suddenly. "How could it be possible..."

Although the other party just spoke a sound, Xilin felt like she was going to faint.

"Could it be the Herrscher of Consciousness?" There aren't many who can attack her mind like this, and most of them are considered 'friendly'.

[Give up, it's impossible for you and Kiana to be together.] That voice appeared again.

This time, Xilin, who seemed to have not developed her own power for more than ten years, successfully reverse-locked the opponent through the opponent's "voice".

At this moment, Xilin's spirit connected with the other party.

A shining golden ring hangs above the opponent's head.

[Crown of the End] With just one glance, Xilin understood what the ring was.

And that figure, which was like a giant god in mythology and was so majestic that it seemed to be able to crush the celestial bodies easily, made Xilin understand what the other party was.

That is... [The Herrscher of the End].

B.134 Xilin's anti-fraud awareness has improved significantly

[The Herrscher of the End]

At this moment, Xilin suddenly remembered that the last time she saw His eyes was at the last moment when her dream was shattered.

And the eye that was big enough to cover the sky belonged to the Herrscher of the End.

Just like last time, there was a purple cross in those turquoise eyes.

The only difference from the last time was that this time, what Xilin saw was the whole body of [Hersher of the End].

"Why, Herrscher of the End?" The towering figure, like a giant god, strangely did not bring any mental pressure to Xilin.

"No... Why would the Herrscher of the End tell me those things..." Rather than the fact that He suddenly appeared in her dream, Sirin was more concerned about why He said that it was impossible for her and Kiana to be together.

"Who on earth are you?" Xilin widened her eyes, her gaze seeming to penetrate the star-like veil of the Herrscher of the End and look directly at His face.

Although we don't know what her face looks like, her posture still shows that she is a woman...or she may not be a woman in the traditional sense.

Just the bulge on one side alone is larger than the earth, making it difficult not to think of Him as a woman.

[As you can see, I am the [End].] He had no intention of lying, and he did not seem to have any hostility. [There can be no romance between you and Kiana.]

"What do you mean?" Xilin certainly understood what was said, but she just couldn't comprehend it. "Why? As the Herrscher of the End, are you in charge of this kind of thing?"

[The Herrscher of the End] did not have any pressure, and his words were not as cold as Xilin had imagined.

His tone was firm yet gentle.

Perhaps it was because of this that she had the courage to refute the Herrscher of the End, whom Kiana had been guarding against for more than a decade.

[You can like anyone except Kiana Atagina.] His tone was more like an admonition than an order, but Xilin would never listen to such an incoherent admonition.

"Then tell me the reason!" Xilin said angrily. "Who would listen to such an irrelevant order?"

"And what right do you have to make such a casual decision?!"

[...] [The Herrscher of the End] was silent. He did not directly answer Xilin's questions, and seemed to be struggling with something.

Originally, Xilin thought that the [Herder of the End] was a colder existence, closer to rules, but the [Herder of the End] in front of her possessed a strong humanity.

Obviously he has such a majestic figure, obviously he has such a vast power...

If Xilin had not been able to truly feel the opponent's power that was absolutely impossible to contend with, she would not even be willing to believe that this was the [Hersher of the End].

[Because, no matter how you end up, once Kiana Atajina knows the truth, she will leave you.] [The Herrscher of the End] said this after thinking for a long time, but still did not seem to give the answer that Xilin wanted.

"Then tell me the reason, otherwise I will never agree with your nonsense." For some reason, Xilin felt that He would not impose any mental shackles on her.

Otherwise, He wouldn't have needed to talk to Him much from the beginning.

[The truth is the cruelest. If you know the truth... forget it.] [The Herrscher of the End] paused for a moment and then continued. [I will tell you the truth of everything, but you cannot tell the truth to others.]

The palm of the Herrscher of the End opened, and a ball of illusory blue flame burned in His palm.

Xilin did not feel any temperature, but she unconditionally believed that the energy in the flame was enough to destroy the stars.

The flames began to shrink, from a size large enough to destroy stars to a cluster of flames.

The flames appeared in front of Xilin's eyes. Staring at the flames, Xilin seemed to be able to see the shadows of all things.

'What is this...' Xilin's eyes widened.

[This is the truth you are looking for. If you really want to understand her, touch this flame.]

"I understand..." Xilin suddenly remembered the confusion she felt when she was in "Hum Paradise" with Kiana.

She didn't know Kiana.

Knowing what Kiana likes, knowing Kiana's lifestyle, knowing Kiana's wishes...but these are not true understandings.

"I want to know the truth, I want to understand Kiana..." The desire in her heart was touched, and Silin's fingers trembled as she moved closer to the flame. "No... No!"

Xilin suddenly withdrew her hand, put her hands behind her back, and clasped them tightly.

'Honkai Impact' can bewitch people's hearts, and Xilin is very clear about this. After all, she had been emotionally triggered by 'Honkai Impact' and attacked Kiana.

And isn't the Herrscher of the End the 'collapse' itself?

[Are you unwilling to accept the truth?]

"I won't be fooled!" Xilin quickly stepped back a few steps, away from the flames. "I won't be bewitched by you!"

[…] [The Herrscher of the End] stared at Xilin, and Xilin seemed to see helplessness, relief and... doting in his eyes.

"Is he ill?" Xilin couldn't understand why the Herrscher of the End showed such a look after failing to bewitch her.

[I am very pleased that you, Xilin, have such anti-fraud awareness.]

"Eh?" To be honest, the words "anti-fraud awareness" coming from the mouth of the Herrscher of the End really made Xilin feel... very weird.

How should I put it? It's like reading a time-travel novel and hearing the national quintessence "What's up" from the mouths of ancient people. It's very strange.

[But the truth is here, whether you touch it or not, it exists here.] [The Herrscher of the End] closed his eyes. [It’s just that the truth will become more and more ‘terrible’ as time goes by, until you can’t bear it.]

"Then can't you just tell me directly?" Xilin frowned. She didn't quite understand why the [Herrser of the End] could have said it clearly, but instead had to beat around the bush and say a bunch of meaningless riddles.

[...]After hearing what Xilin said, [Herrscher of the End] was silent for a long time. [Some words are hard to say, or... I don't know how to explain.]

"Are you crazy?!" Xilin pointed at him and shouted loudly. "Is it fun to be a riddle man!?"

[Children should be polite.] The [Herrser of the End], who was suddenly scolded by Xilin, widened his eyes, but was not angry.

"That is, I can't beat you, otherwise all the Riddlers would die!" Xilin suddenly had the idea of ​​'why not attack Him and give it a try'.

[...Forget it.] The moment the Herrscher of the End finished speaking, Xilin felt a flash before her eyes.

The extremely huge figure just now appeared in front of him.

He shrunk to the size of an ordinary human, and the bulge that was almost larger than a planet before... became even more powerful after being shrunk.

"Who are you?!" Xilin widened her eyes, because she clearly saw the face of [Herrserker of the End] under the veil that was like a sea of ​​stars.

At just this moment, the finger of the Herrscher of the End had already landed on Xilin's forehead.

[Go and witness the truth.]

B.135 Truth

"The truth?" Silin realized that she was "attacked" by the Herrscher of the End, and looked at the scene in front of her.

The ice and snow all over the sky clearly told Xilin where this place was.

The huge egg in front of her made Xilin realize the current time.

"This is..." Xilin felt the pulse of the dome. There was a special life form in this dome.

There is no doubt that it was Xilin who was about to transform.

"At that time, Kia was here... and saved me." Perhaps more than a decade ago, when she was still young and had incomplete knowledge, Xilin did not think that Kiana was so good to her.

But with subsequent learning and completion of cognition, Xilin finally understood how important Kiana's behavior was to her at that time.

As Kiana said, the humanity of the Herrscher is a "gift" from previous civilizations, but this power is not absolutely good or evil.

If she is filled with the emotion of collapse, her personality will become extremely extreme. Even if a Herrscher with an overly extreme personality still has "humanity", such a personality is definitely abnormal.

Xilin was unable to touch anything in the illusion, and soon she saw a group of people coming.

Among them were Siegfried and Theresa, whom she was very familiar with, and Walter, whom she disliked.

"There is no Kiana in this world?" Soon, Xilin saw Theresa being captured by 'Xilin' in the dome. She also walked into the dome and saw Theresa who was seriously injured.

Without Kiana, the hostile relationship between 'Sirin' and others seems to be unable to be resolved.

Soon she saw 'Sirin' defeated, then Walter was ambushed, and finally 'Sirin' was taken away by Bella.

'Is this how the world without Kiana develops... But what does it matter?' Sirin didn't know why the Herrscher of the End let her see this. If it were just this... it would only make her more determined to like Kiana, right?

[Don’t worry.] The voice of [The Herrscher of the End] came, and He quietly appeared beside Xilin.

"You guy... forget it." Xilin pointed at the [Hersher of the End] and clicked her tongue after a moment.

I can't defeat Him, so what else can I do?

[I won't interfere with you any further, I just want you to know the truth.] The eyes of [Herrser of the End] were very gentle, which also made Xilin certain... this guy was sick.

The time without any 'plot' was skipped, and Sirin saw 'Sirin' arriving on the moon a moment later, and obtained more powerful power and several Herrscher gems from the 'God of Honkai'.

"Why do you want to give her this power?" Xilin asked in confusion.

[It has nothing to do with me.] The Herrscher of the End said without hesitation.

"..." Xilin was silent for a moment and then saw 'Xilin' dropping four meteorites towards the earth. "Meteorites?! Is this guy crazy?!"

Having said that, after seeing 'Xilin's' behavior, Xilin put herself in the situation and realized that if it were her...she would do the same.

...

......

The plot moves very fast. Silin sees Theresa's [Divine Grace Barrier], the alienated Siegfried chases Silin and chops her, Cecilia's [Holy Blood Liberation]...

Even though 'Sirin' had obtained several powers and was strengthened several times, she was still defeated and died in the continuous attacks.

"If you just let me see these, you won't achieve your goal at all, right?" Xilin glanced sideways.

[Next, the key point.]

"...?!" Xilin was silent for a moment, and then the scene changed, and she and the [Hersher of the End] appeared in the laboratory.

And in the culture tank in front of him, there was a small figure floating.
