Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

The girl patted Xilin's back gently to comfort her. Even though she knew that Xilin had killed many people, she did not think that Xilin had done anything wrong. At least now Xilin was just a victim who was returning the suffering she had endured.

The girl was glad that she woke up at the right time, because there was still time for everything.

"Dong dong dong..." Accompanied by the sound of dense footsteps, the atmosphere between the girl and Xilin was broken.

Xilin looked towards the door in panic. She knew that the girl had the same power as herself, so she would not be discovered if she hid here, but she still felt scared.

The girl stared in the direction of the gate because she couldn't remember what it was like 'before'.

According to the memories of Xilin that she had experienced, Xilin at this time had already escaped from here through power, and threw herself into the "cocoon", completely transformed into the [Rersher of the Void].

"Here it comes." The girl instinctively tightened her grip around Xilin.

Xilin pressed her whole body against the girl, with her ear against her heart. The strong heartbeat struck Xilin's consciousness again and again.

This feeling of being surrounded by warmth and security... is just like being in the arms of a mother...

Xilin was somewhat immersed in this feeling, and at this moment, several figures finally appeared at the 'gate'.

Leading the group was a petite figure dressed in a black nun's uniform, with a golden chain extending from the back of her hand and pointing directly at them.

"We've been discovered!" Xilin exclaimed as she looked at the chain that was so close.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." The girl said softly, staring at the chain.

----

"Judas seemed to be pointing here, but there is nothing here." Theresa looked at the chain extending from the cross on the back of her hand.

The Honkai energy targeted by the [Judas's Oath·Hunting Mode] taught to her by Anti-Entropy was ultimately directed here, but there was nothing here.

"..." The man in the gray windbreaker put his hands in his pockets and looked around. After a while, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "No, there is nothing here."

The man shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Siegfried asked in confusion. He looked around again, but still found nothing.

"She is right here, but..." The man's expression was particularly serious. 'She has such a strong power just after becoming a Herrscher?'

"Or... is this the true strength of a Herrscher?"

The man walked to the front of the [Imaginary Space].

"The Second Herrscher, Herrscher of the Void, possesses the power to manipulate space." The man's eyes showed an unusual color. "She created an 'imaginary space' superimposed on the 'real space', so we can't see her, but..."

Gravity gave the man the power to touch the "imaginary space", and his hands gradually tore open the "imaginary space".

But...when the [imaginary space] was completely torn apart, there was still nothing in front.

"What's going on?" Siegfried asked, looking at the still empty place.

"It was teleportation. She left here." The man said and looked at Theresa.

Sure enough, the chain in Theresa's hand circled several times and pointed in a new direction.

----

"Well, as expected of Mr. Walter, you can find me so easily." The girl took Xilin and moved to a farther place in an instant.

"It seems that this is not an illusion space. My core cannot directly connect to the 'imaginary space'."

The Herrscher's core has the ability to directly connect to the imaginary space, so the Herrscher's energy is infinite.

However, the girl discovered that although the core in her body could use power to a certain extent because it had just absorbed a lot of Honkai energy in the "Babylon Laboratory", it was only one-hundredth of her power or even less than when she was in her prime.

What's even more strange is that she can't directly connect to the 'imaginary space' to absorb the Honkai energy... Of course, this is nothing for the girl, after all, she has mastered the [Power of the Void] and can directly open the 'imaginary space' to absorb the Honkai energy.

"Who are you..." Xilin looked at the huge egg in front of her, and looked at the girl who brought her here with a complicated expression.

"Shit! I was actually teleported here?!" The girl stared at the giant egg in front of her with wide eyes.

A.3 Don’t be afraid

"Who are you..." Xilin looked at the huge egg in front of her, and looked at the girl who brought her here with a complicated expression.

"This..." The girl showed an embarrassed expression.

She really didn't know how to answer Xilin's question.

This doesn't seem to be an illusion space, perhaps it's a world bubble, or maybe something else.

Thinking of this, the girl suddenly remembered that she had entered the data of the [Second Sequence Collapse] in the basement of Saint Freya more than a year ago, where she met Theresa and Cecilia's mother.

At that time, she said without hesitation that her name was Kiana, which now makes her feel embarrassed when she thinks about it.

Moreover, Xilin has not yet emerged, which means it is still very early.

'Bianca Yulandel Atagina' is now just a two-year-old little girl, and her current name is still 'Qiana Kaslana'.

After all, Yulandel still has this name at this time...so she naturally couldn't use the name "Qiana Kaslana" in front of Xilin.

"Hiss... Um... Sorry, sister, please lend me your name again." The girl silently apologized to her sister who was in an unknown world, and then looked at Sirin and introduced herself as she had just decided. "My name is Kiana, Kiana Atajina."

Both Kiana and Atagena mean the goddess of the moon, so she plans to temporarily use her sister's surname as her name.

As for the question of her looking exactly like 'Little Kiana'...we'll talk about that later!

"Kiana..." Xilin stared at the girl, then she suddenly turned around and walked towards the dome.

"Wait! What are you doing?!" The girl quickly grabbed Xilin's hand.

"You brought me here because of God's guidance, didn't you?" Xilin looked at the dome. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

"It's not a question of whether it will hurt or not." The girl shook her head. "You can't go in. It's too dangerous."

It was because she understood what would happen to Xilin if she entered the giant egg that she couldn't let her in.

Once entering, Xilin will devote herself to Honkai and become an enlightened Herrscher.

By then, Xilin's thoughts will definitely become extremely extreme... She doesn't want to see that kind of result.

Now that she has come here, possesses powerful strength, and has a "script", in many ways, she can now be considered a time traveler.

If nothing can be changed, how embarrassing it would be for the "time travelers"?

"You can't stop me." Xilin felt that the girl in front of her named Kiana was really unreasonable, and even the little bit of dependence she had on her before had disappeared a little.

"..." The girl looked at Xilin, who had a determined expression in front of her, but for a moment she didn't know what to do.

In fact, what really caused everything to become irreversible was that Xilin went to the moon and threw meteorites towards the earth.

Although from the girl's own perspective, she can actually understand Xilin.

To Sirin, 'humans' are just the perpetrators, and 'Honkai' is the benefactor who gave her the power of revenge.

Therefore, obeying the Honkai and destroying human civilization is the "right thing" for Sirin.

But...being able to understand doesn't mean she can agree with this behavior.

The girl is not unreasonable. She agrees with Celine's revenge on the researchers of the Babylon Laboratory because Celine is a victim and if she does nothing, no one will speak up for her, so the girl agrees with Celine's behavior.

But spreading hatred to all of humanity is not acceptable, and that is what she wants to stop.

"Don't stop me." Xilin said, and walked towards the dome without hesitation.

"..." The girl saw Xilin walk into the dome, but then she also took a step forward and plunged into the dome.

----

In just a moment, extremely huge negative emotions surged up from the girl's heart.

The memory of being Sirin, the memory of the [Herrscher of the Void] sealed in her body, the memory of killing her teacher with her own hands, the memory of facing [Domination]...

Countless memories reappeared in her mind, and the negative emotions brought about by these memories were amplified at unimaginable multiples.

Even she couldn't avoid the desire to destroy everything.

This is the horror of collapse. If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to resist such negative emotions.

But she would not give in to these emotions.

"I have already passed these memories." A blazing fire ignited in the girl's palm. "If I go through this again and fall here, Bronya will laugh at me for the rest of my life!"

Xinyan's king sword was constructed in her hands.

Although in this unknown world, all her ties are not here.

But so what? Even if her ties are not here, they will be a guide on her way home.

So there is no way she would fail in front of these hardships that she has already overcome; she still has a long way to go.

So...

"Dissipate in the flames."

In an instant, the flames burned all the illusions of the past.

When all the illusions disappeared, the person who appeared in front of the girl was Xilin.

Xilin was surrounded by large shadows, which pulled her and they materialized into things like syringes, stabbing towards Xilin's arms.

In addition to Xilin, there are several other children.

The girl was very familiar with them.

'Afflaro, Agatha, Galina, Bella...'

"Xilin!" Just as the needle was about to pierce Xilin's arm, the flames instantly washed away everything.

It was a flame that was so intense that it could burn even soul steel, but it wiped out everything with incredible precision without harming Sirin.

"I really have to thank you very much, squad leader." The girl put her index and middle fingers on her right hand together to form a sword finger.

If Fu Hua hadn't taught her how to shape Honkai energy, she might not have been able to control her power so precisely.

Moreover, there is a composite nature of 'imaginary space' and 'mental world' here, and it just so happens that "Taixu Sword Qi" has special effects in the spiritual aspect.

"Why are you here!?" Xilin stared with eyes wide open in shock at this girl who should not be here. She was wearing a flaming cloak and looked like a knight.

"Because you are here." The girl said with a smile. "I told you... Don't be afraid."

"..." At this moment, Xilin felt as if her heart was being held. She didn't understand.

A.4 I believe you

"How will you be here!?"

"Because you are here." Kiana said with a smile. "I told you... Don't be afraid."

"..." At this moment, Xilin felt as if her heart was being held. She didn't understand.

"This power belongs to you." Kiana spread out her hands, and a dazzling gem appeared in her palms.

Sirin is still just a pseudo-herrscher now, and this core originally belonged to Sirin, something that Kiana "captured" in this space.

It should have condensed in Xilin's body the moment Xilin's transformation was completed, but she captured it before that.

Moreover, when Kiana dispelled those shadows, Sirin's transformation was completed, but everything changed at this moment.

Sirin did not tear apart people's hearts. Even though she still retained hatred for humans in her heart, Sirin's hatred did not become hatred against all of humanity under the amplification of the collapse.

Xilin's hatred is limited to her desire to make everyone who hurt her get the punishment they deserve.

"You want to give it to me?" Xilin looked at the gem in Kiana's hand in disbelief.

Xilin, who had completed her transformation but did not have the core, instinctively knew what it was. If she possessed that gem, she would have the power to destroy the world.

If she gets this power, she will definitely use it...

Although the contact time was short, Xilin was sure that Kiana would never allow her to do that... If that was the case, why did she give the core to herself?

Siren didn't understand.

"Yeah." Kiana smiled and nodded.

In fact, the moment she held the core, Kiana could feel her body's desire for this core, just like when a person is extremely hungry, he will have an extreme desire for delicious food.

Moreover, after devouring this core, she will be able to restore the ability of a Herrscher to automatically absorb Honkai energy from the 'imaginary space', and she will no longer encounter the current situation of Honkai energy shortage.

But she was also very clear that even if she swallowed this core, it would only recharge her body, which was now somewhat depleted of Honkai energy, and it would be of no other use.
