Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

He doesn't look very old, probably only six or seven years old.

Although her eyes were closed, her white hair made Xilin aware of her identity.

"Experiment K-422 has also failed." The blond man walked to the front of the culture tank and said so.

"Otto?"

'This time, we took the risk of implanting the [Hershers Core of the Sky] into the body of the experimental subject K-423, but the Herrscher Core was damaged... 18 hours have passed, and the experimental subject is still unconscious.'

"Is it that you are unable to wake up, or do you, [Second Herrscher], not want to wake up?"

Just as Otto finished speaking, the device detected K-423's brain waves, which meant that she had finally woken up.

"How is this possible?!" Xilin widened her eyes in disbelief.

[This is the truth, and it is also the reason why Kiana has always chosen to avoid your feelings.] Herrscher of the End said softly, glancing sideways.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xilin fiercely grabbed the arm of [Herrser of the End].

Although Xilin wanted to pull his collar, she found that he didn't have a normal collar at all.

[It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to believe it.] He was not unhappy with Xilin’s disrespect. [Because you can use the ‘parallel world’ as an excuse.]

"Right... no, what do you mean?" Xilin was happy at first, but then she realized that what He said meant... even in the 'parallel world', she had her own reasons for not being able to be with Kiana.

Xilin soon saw the life of K-423, and Qibao in this world fell down seriously injured.

How K-423 became Kiana, and then the Herrscher of the Void awakened in K-423.

...

......

Kiana's campus life was one of the few happy times in her life.

She even saw the wall that Kiana mentioned, which was raised three times... She finally understood why Kiana mentioned the "school principal" instead of Cecilia when she talked about the wall that was raised three times... Because in this world, the "Principal of Saint Freya School" is Theresa...

Soon, Kiana was captured by Destiny, and [Hersher of the Sky] awakened... The final fate was completely different from the Infinite Tower Himeko that Xilin knew. Infinite Tower Himeko, who became a Valkyrie, fell in the "imaginary space"...

Under the threat of [Herrscher of the Sky], Kiana had the intention of self-destruction, but was stopped by Fu Hua... Then a meteor swept across the sky...

"Are you trying to say... that I, who brought such pain to Kiana... don't have the qualifications?" Sirin tightly grasped the arm of the Herrscher of the End. The power that could easily crush the superalloy didn't even leave a dent on the Herrscher of the End's skin. "But that's just a 'parallel world'..."

[...] He did not speak, and the vision continued.

Desert, Changkong City, Herrscher of Thunder...

The Herrscher of the Thousands, the Herrscher of the Fire, Kevin...

Although a lot of 'plots' were skipped, but finally...

The Stigma Project, the Herrscher of Truth, the Herrscher of Origin...

'Kiana left this world at this point in time...' Xilin thought so, but the plot continued.

“How is this possible?!” She saw Kiana, who had become a ‘god’. “Kiana… has become the Herrscher of the End? Then who are you, anyway!?”

[Just a 'visitor' from another 'branch.'] He said so.

And in the illusion, Kiana was holding the phantom of the "Earth" in her hands.

Although it was just a shadow, one could still see that the Earth was riddled with holes. Even from a macroscopic perspective, one could still see the mountains collapsing and endless lava surging...

The eyes shining with the purple cross were filled with pain and entanglement, but in the end, the vast power merged into the "Earth" and radiated outward with the "Earth" as the anchor point.

Time...reversed.

Having released such power, [Kiana of the End] closed her eyes, and her clothes began to collapse. The familiar red and white armor wrapped her body again. Finally, Kiana retreated back to the posture of [Hersher of the Fire] and fell from the 'imaginary number'.

At this moment, the 'imaginary number' beside Kiana was torn apart, and she was pushed out of the 'imaginary space' by the energy tide and fell on the purple-haired girl.

"how so?"

B.136 I have a daughter

"how so?"

Xilin looked at the illusion in disbelief, and the illusion indeed stopped at this moment.

Looking at the white-haired girl lying on her, Xilin's thoughts seemed to go back to more than ten years ago.

Having just acquired the power of revenge, she did indeed take revenge on the staff of the "Babylon Laboratory", and then fought with a Valkyrie. After that, she spent a lot of Honkai energy and came to the Honkai reactor of the "Babylon Laboratory" to absorb Honkai energy.

After all, at that time, she had not yet condensed the Herrscher core in her body. Although she possessed some of the Herrscher's powers, in terms of strength, she was not even as strong as a true [Pseudo-Herscher].

And it was at this moment that she felt that the Honkai energy she absorbed was being diverted, so she angrily tore open the 'imaginary space', and then Kiana 'bounced' out of the crack.

"Is this the truth..." Xilin's pupils trembled violently, and the fingers clasped on the arm of [Hersher of the End] gradually relaxed.

No wonder Kiana's power couldn't find the "original world" she mentioned. Originally, Xilin thought it was because Kiana's power was not strong enough, or her world had withered and turned into a world bubble, so Kiana couldn't find it.

But the truth is not so. The fundamental reason why Kiana cannot find the "original world" is... she has never left her own world, but she personally reversed the time of the world to 2000, and she herself lost her memory after being promoted to the [Hersher of the End].

"But... why did Kiana want to reverse time? And..." Whether Silin really understood Kiana, even Silin herself was not clear.

But Xilin knew that given Kiana's character, if she met herself, she would save herself no matter what.

And for Kiana, the consequence of saving herself is... K-423 will not be born.

In Kiana's cognition, she killed 'herself' in this world with her own hands.

But if the truths that [Herrser of the End] showed me were indeed the truth...

"That means that the person Kiana actually 'killed' was herself." Xilin realized this, and her legs suddenly softened and she fell to the ground.

[Now, you should understand, right? I won't stop you, but you must know the truth.]

It's not that He doesn't allow Sirin to pursue her own love, nor does He have to stop Sirin and Kiana's love. It's just that He must tell Sirin all the truth before everything happens. As for what choice Sirin will make in the end... He has no intention of stopping her.

'...' Xilin lowered her eyes slightly, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Her relationship with Kiana is so close that from a physical point of view, they can be said to be mother and daughter or sisters.

From a soul perspective, she and Kiana have the same 'origin'.

[Is love really that important to you?] [The Herrscher of the End] gathered her skirt and sat down next to Xilin. [Family, this kind of relationship is enough, right?]

'...' Xilin pursed her lips. "Don't act like you know me so well. Who do you think you are?"

Having said that, Xilin knew that she was just being stubborn.

After learning the truth about Kiana and the world, Sirin did have the idea of ​​backing out.

Because she understood...if Kiana also knew the truth, then no matter how things developed between them, Kiana would leave.

So she had no reason to be persistent, because love is a two-way relationship, and if the outcome was already determined...she would rather not develop it to that step.

Besides... the identity of 'family' is enough, right? Under the premise that there is absolutely no way to go any further... it is enough, right?

[Yes, I don’t know you.] He said softly. [I am just a visitor.]

"Hmph." Xilin snorted. "What a troublesome guy..."

Xilin turned her head away. She knew that she was just taking her anger out on others, pouring out her frustration and anger about the relationship that was about to be abandoned on this [Hersher of the End] who seemed to always be accommodating her.

[I’m so sorry.] He was not angry because of Xilin’s anger, but stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Xilin’s head. [I just don’t want to see you part after you find out the truth in the future.]

[It's better for both of you to end it before it begins.]

"have a finger in the pie..."

[If you want to cry...] He spread out his hands, indicating that Xilin could rush over at any time.

"Who would cry?!" Xilin glared at the Herrscher of the End. "It's better to say... make someone cry and then signal them to cry in your arms. What's wrong with you, right?"

[So, you still want to cry, right?]

“Can you please stop focusing on the important points?” Xilin widened her eyes, and even the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes flowed back.

[What a stubborn child.] He sighed helplessly.

The possibility of Xilin rushing over to me was really small, but it didn't matter...

"?!" Xilin was only slightly stunned, and then she found herself being 'captured' by the other party. 'This is... a little too big, isn't it?!'

Obviously, in terms of height, she seemed to be only four or five centimeters taller than Kiana, but her bust seemed to be three or four sizes larger...Since Xilin didn't use that kind of thing very often, she didn't know the size of the bra.

But at least Xilin knew that Kiana's chest was not big enough for her to bury her face in.

"You bastard..." Xilin's hand passed over the waist of the [Hersher of the End] and supported the ground, trying to break free.

[Okay, stop calling me ‘you’ all the time.] He gently stroked the back of Xilin’s head. [Although I am indeed a visitor, seeing you is like seeing my child.]

"Nonsense." Although I don't know what the purpose of this sick guy is, but... she doesn't seem to be lying.

But seeing my own children...this reason sounds unreliable.

[Is it unreliable?] He seemed to be able to hear Xilin's inner voice and laughed. [Then...if I tell you that I have a daughter named Xilin, would you believe me?]

"?!" Xilin raised her head in shock...her face was sandwiched between her breasts, so deformed that it looked a little funny, and it looked even funnier with her wide-open eyes.

B.137 Reversing Time

"Are you kidding me?" Looking at the silver-white hair of the Herrscher of the End, Xilin didn't believe what she had just said.

No, not really... 'Sirin' is not a very common name, but it's definitely not uncommon either.

So it is not surprising that He has a daughter named Sirin, but what does this have to do with me?

[It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I just want to comfort you.] He doesn't mind Xilin's distrust. After all, it's normal. [I can't tell you too much about other things, but... I have no ill will towards you or Kiana.]

[Your relationship is too special, so I have to stop you, but that's all I can do.]

Although He was not willing to let Sirin and Kiana be together, she would not do much to stop them.

'If you can really stay together so persistently and firmly...' He thought so.

If Kiana knew about the relationship between Sirin and Kiana, given Kiana's personality, she would definitely choose to separate from Sirin.

If at that time the relationship between them happens to be stuck at that level, it will undoubtedly be the most terrible torture for both of them.

But if they can stay together firmly, and even souls cannot separate them...then He can only support the children's choice.

In the final analysis, the Herrscher is such an unreasonable being. Human rules have no meaning to the Herrscher. The Herrscher just consciously abides by human rules because it is convenient.

Human beings cannot be separated from human society. Everyone obtains material support and spiritual nourishment from society.

But the Herrscher is different. She does not need material support. Everything human has is just "spiritual food" to her.

Although He is accustomed to human concepts, it does not mean that He absolutely abides by them.

"That's all?" Xilin grasped a key point in his words. "Why...if you tell Kiana about this directly..."

Thinking of Kiana, who has been chased by [The End] for all these years and has to do her best to escape everything that [The End] brings, Sirin inexplicably couldn't help laughing.

If the Herrscher of the End in this world is Kiana herself, doesn't that mean that Kiana is just constantly escaping from the shadow brought by 'herself'?

[Because she is the Herrscher of the End.] He spread his hands helplessly. [I can’t tell Kiana everything like I’m contacting you.]

[And considering the energy of [Herrser of the End], it is more than enough to reverse the time of the Earth. If she were to reverse the Earth alone, the energy she would release would be enough to reverse it by 50,000 years.]

[But unlike the so-called "pre-civilization", Kiana reversed the eighteen years of the entire solar system based on Earth time, and in order for the Earth to be able to withstand the coming of the [Herrser of the End], she highly strengthened the Earth.]

In fact, the reason why Kiana found it extremely difficult for herself and Sirin to use their power to teleport on Earth, and consumed a large amount of Honkai energy, was that [End Kiana] strengthened the Earth.

Although it is not obvious on the surface, the earth's interior has become more solid.

"But... why did Kiana do this?" Although Sirin felt that she didn't know Kiana well enough, it was just 'not enough' rather than 'not understanding at all'. "Given Kiana's personality, reversing time..."

[Because she had to do it.] He shook his head helplessly. [The Earth has become extremely fragile under the reorganization of the [Stigmata Plan], and Kiana, who has become [The End], has too much energy. If she sets foot on the Earth, it will be destroyed in an instant.]

[If it were just that, it would be fine. Kiana only needed to wait for a few years, and she would be able to complete the strengthening of the Earth and return to Earth. However, when Kevin handed everything over to Kiana and Kiana completed her promotion, enemies from outside the solar system set foot on Earth.]

[Kiana has the power to crush them, but the Earth was too fragile at the time. The residual power of any attack from Kiana is enough to destroy the Earth, so she cannot take action. The enemy's power is far greater than the power of the Earth at the time.]

[They recklessly triggered a series of "natural disasters" such as mantle plumes that were enough to directly destroy civilization. Even if Xiao Mei and Xiao Yaya wanted to stop them, they were powerless.]
