Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

"Hahaha~ It's so itchy!" Kiana slapped Xilin's hand away and sat up.

"It's not a matter of leaving get off work early, it's mainly because I recently discovered..." Kiana suddenly got stuck when she said this.

"Ah?" Silin, who was waiting for Kiana to speak, pursed her lips when she saw that Kiana didn't say what she found out for a long time. "If you keep it a secret, I'll beat you up."

Xilin said this, raising her little fist.

She was very good at beating Kiana! Although she only hit Kiana twice, for Xilin, this behavior could be considered a "beating".

"Uh, how should I put it..." Kiana pressed her forehead. "Didn't I practice sparring with my aunt a few days ago? After the practice, I discovered something very scary."

"Hmm?" Xilin tilted her head, revealing an expression that showed she wanted to hear more.

"I found that my power has become stronger again." Kiana looked around furtively, then whispered to Xilin.

"...Becoming stronger again?" Xilin could no longer see the limit to how strong Kiana's power was.

In fact, in terms of energy level alone, Sirin's Honkai energy level is even higher than Kiana's.

But Kiana's power is extremely powerful, and the 'multiplier' is far higher than the general [Power of Fire].

Simply put, the [Power of Fire] that Sirin possesses is given by Ellie's original body. In terms of strength, it is actually no different from the power possessed by the real [Hersher of Fire]. Even with the amplification of Sirin's five-core-level Honkai energy level, it will be more powerful than the real [Hersher of Fire].

If we use the simplest formula to calculate the output, it is (Honkai energy level * power multiplier = damage).

Well, although Sirin's Honkai energy level is very high, the power multiplier is only 100%, which is approximately equal to the multiplier of the [Skyfire Greatsword].

The multiplier of [Jie Annihilation] is over 300%, and the multiplier of [Chimera King Sword] activated by Kevin is over 600%.

Then the power multiplier of Kiana's [Power of Fire] is about 3000%.

That is to say, when releasing the same level of Honkai energy, the power released by Kiana will be 50 times higher than that of Sirin, which is a multiplier that Sirin can never achieve.

Even when facing [Demon Kevin], Kiana has output capabilities far exceeding his.

But...Kiana herself doesn't want such a powerful force, because her strength is already extremely strong.

Therefore, the power she possesses now is at a level that is not as strong as the upper fault, but stronger than the lower fault.

This kind of power...is more than enough but difficult to control.

Even when Kiana was activating the [Power of Fire], she was still a 'original Herrscher'. The power was as easy for Kiana as breathing, but Kiana was now in a situation where she had to be careful even with her breathing.

Such an overly powerful and uncontrollable force is a huge burden for Kiana.

"Did that woman do something?" After understanding Kiana's troubles, Xilin frowned and expressed her guess.

Although his power was given by Ellie, and although Ellie always said that she was his biological mother.

But compared to Ellie, Xilin still puts Kiana first among everyone, so she naturally suspects Ellie.

"Emm...it's hard to say." Kiana didn't think that Ellie would harm her.

Generally speaking, increasing strength is a good thing, so if it was Ellie who made me further strengthen myself, then she must have done it for my own good...

But this gift is a bit "heavy" for her now.

If it gets stronger, she might really lose control!

"Let's go and ask that woman." Xilin stood up quickly.

Although Silin has long been accustomed to the fact that she is a lazy person, if the matter involves Kiana, she will be a little excited, well... "slightly".

"Eh? Wait!" Seeing that Xilin was about to "make trouble", Kiana quickly reached out and grabbed Xilin's wrist.

However...

‘Shua~’

Xilin and Qiana disappeared on the spot.

Well, driving the power of the Original Herrscher is indeed as simple as breathing, and in most cases there is no need to charge or foreplay.

----

"Hmm?" Feeling the [Power of the Void], Ellie instantly determined the person and landing point.

Instinctively, Ellie raised her hand, touched her index finger and thumb, and snapped her fingers.

The moment Sirin pulled Kiana in front of Ellie, a [Sub-Void Hole] appeared under their feet simultaneously.

Sirin and Kiana, who did not use their driving force to float in the air, did not have the ability like Tom and Jerry to avoid falling unless they looked down.

So, without any pause, Sirin and Kiana fell into the [Hole of the Sub-Sky].

"Oops... I'm used to it!" Ellie looked at the two people who appeared and disappeared, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

This was something she usually did to tease the lazy guy in her family, but since there were only a few Herrschers of the Void in her family, other people didn't have the ability to teleport so easily.

So Ellie subconsciously thought that it was her own lazy guy who appeared.

'Snapped! '

Suddenly, a [Sub-Space Hole] was opened, and Kiana, who fell into the imaginary space, stretched out a hand and pressed it on the ground, then stuck out her head.

"That's too much!" Kiana accused, glaring at Ellie.

"What's wrong with you, woman?!" Silin, who subconsciously hung on Kiana's back like a koala, seemed to be more angry than Kiana.

If Kiana was just using her expression to express "Why are you so mean?", then Xilin was indeed a little angry.

"Ahem... Sorry, this is just a subconscious action." Ellie coughed lightly. "My original body often does this when I'm at home."

Ellie squatted down, grabbed Kiana's armpits, and lifted up Kiana and Sirin together, who were sticking their heads out like gophers.

The weight of the two slender girls was too light for the Herrscher of the End. She could lift them even if there were a hundred more Kianas and Sirins.

"I kind of sympathize with my 'parallel universe counterpart'." Kiana, who was being held in the air by Ellie like a cat, said numbly.

Kiana recently heard from Ellie about her "parallel universe counterpart", a girl named Arlene.

To be honest, Kiana, who had once had an experience that could be called "dark", envied the other party.

It can't be said that the other party will live a worry-free life...but all her worries are, to some extent, caused by the mother in front of her.

As expected of a woman with a 'daddy personality', she is the most dangerous existence in the safe period.

But now it seems that the other party's life...may not be as good as I imagined.

"What are you talking about? Although it's not my first time being a mother, it's her first time being a daughter. Why should I spoil her?" Ellie said matter-of-factly. "Besides, if I don't play with the little brat, it's meaningless."

"...Why don't we just forget about it?" Kiana turned her head and looked at Xilin. "It's better not to have a mother like this."

"Hmm..." Xilin nodded in agreement, not really wanting to be a 'little brat to be played with'.

"Well...Okay, let's not talk about that." Ellie put Kiana down, and Xilin also jumped off Kiana's back. "What do you want to see me for?"

"..." Sirin and Kiana looked at each other. "About Kiana's power."

"Kiana's power seems to have become stronger recently. Is it related to you?"

"Hmm? Did it take effect so quickly?" After hearing what Xilin said, Ellie pinched her chin and said, "In theory, the previous sparring with Kiana was indeed to further stimulate Kiana's power."

"But I didn't expect that Kiana could improve further in such a short time... So is this why you came to me in such a hurry?"

"Yeah." Kiana nodded. "Actually, it's because the further strengthening of my power has made it more difficult for me to stabilize the output of my power."

In fact, not only the [Power of Fire] was strengthened, but even the [Power of Space] and the [Power of Death] were further strengthened.

So when she went to work today, Kiana had to put in several times more effort than usual to finely control her current power.

To paraphrase a phrase Kiana had heard in the 'original world'... 'It is very difficult to control the force of stepping on an ant without crushing it to death.'

Kiana is at this stage after her powers are strengthened.

"Hmm~ But mastering your power is what you need to do most, Kiana." Ellie tapped Kiana's forehead. "Otherwise... the power of [End], just a little bit like what happened just now, is enough to pierce the earth."

"Kiana, you can't accidentally destroy the Earth, right?"

"Ah this..." Kiana opened her mouth and then nodded hesitantly.

"She is just fooling Kiana, right?" Silin, who was beside Kiana, rolled her eyes.

However, although Xilin felt that Ellie was fooling Kiana, she also felt that what Ellie said made sense.

After all, Sirin had witnessed the power of the Herrscher of the End in a fantasy world, and Kiana at that time had only just become the Herrscher of the End and had not yet mastered the true power of the Herrscher of the End.

"Okay, I understand." Kiana sighed and nodded.

There is a long way to go...

"But... does she think I can really become the Herrscher of the End?" From the conversation just now, Kiana also confirmed Ellie's perception.

In Ellie's opinion, she will become the Herrscher of the End...

Or in other words, in Ellie's opinion, her probability and success rate of becoming the [Hersher of the End] are the highest.

"It seems that I really should work harder." Thinking of this, Kiana became a little excited.

After all, she saw the direction of her efforts.

"Oh, it seems to have further irritated the child." Seeing the determined look flashing in Kiana's blue eyes, Ellie smiled helplessly.

Although further stimulating Kiana's power and allowing Kiana to get closer to [The End] is indeed part of Ellie's plan.

However, Ellie did not expect that Kiana would improve so quickly... Originally, Ellie expected that Kiana would begin to awaken during the time period of the Tenth Herrscher.

Then, the awakening was completely completed at the moment when the [Stigmata Plan] was launched.

"Perhaps because Kiana has already become the [End], so the progress has been accelerated under the guidance of my power... But it's not a bad thing, but the mental exhaustion of this little brat may be further aggravated."

Since Kiana used [The End] to go back in time, it means that [The End] itself can affect time. In fact, the power of [The End] transcends dimensions. Even if time is turned back, [The End] still leaves its mark on Kiana.

To put it simply, the [Cocoon of the End] has engraved Kiana's soul, and only Kiana can reach the [Land of the End] again and become the [Hersher of the End] again.

What Ellie originally wanted to do was to ease Kiana's anxious mood, let her relax a little, and then when the time came, guide Kiana to become the [Hersher of the End] again naturally.

However, now it seems... this unreliable girl seems to have further aggravated Kiana's mental exhaustion...

"How about... modifying some of Kiana's memories?" Ellie thought of a very extreme method... well, maybe a little too extreme.

C.106 Why don’t you do anything?

In the end, Ellie herself rejected the idea of ​​modifying Kiana's memory.

"Baby, don't look at me with such resentful eyes..." Feeling Xilin's resentful eyes, Ellie looked away guiltily.

Man proposes, God disposes. Even the [Ruster of the End] can make mistakes sometimes.

Although the [Rosterer of the End] can indeed modify the laws, it can even do things like reversing the rotation of the earth.

But... [Hersler of the End] only has the ability to make changes, and cannot make everything happen as it pleases.

Besides, many things are not impossible to do, but the "morality" in her heart prevents her from doing so.

"It's okay, it's just that the power has increased a little bit." Ellie reached out and pressed Kiana's face and rubbed it for a few times. "And Kiana, you don't have to be so anxious."

"Look, after I became the Herrscher of the End, I didn't worry about being too powerful, did I?"

"But you are a clone." Kiana blinked. The Ellie in front of her was not the real person, but just a clone.

It is the shadow differentiated from the original body.

"What are you talking about? Although I am just a clone, I also possess the power of the Herrscher of the End." Ellie pinched Kiana's face and said, "Although it is far inferior to the original body, it is enough to compete with the Herrscher of the End from the pre-civilization era."

"Ah this..."

"So, don't worry. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, 'There will always be a way when the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.'" Ellie said, shaking her finger.

"Is this ancient person Chi Yuan?" Kiana asked curiously.

"You kid..." How did Ellie know who said this? It wasn't Chi Yuan. "Although Chi Yuan is indeed an 'ancient', it doesn't mean that all ancient people are Chi Yuan."

"Oh, that's true." Kiana nodded repeatedly and rescued her face from Ellie's hands. "Speaking of which..."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Ellie, who was waiting for Kiana to speak, saw that she was stuck halfway through her speech, so she asked curiously.

"What I want to say is... Is it possible for me to meet Arlene in the future?" Kiana asked with some anticipation.
