Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

"Is this... a soul steel box?" Rita took the so-called 'magazine' in surprise. She found that the box was actually made of soul steel.

"I just said that in the 'Quantum Sea', your weapons will most likely not be resupplied." Kiana pointed at the box. "The stuff inside is a high-strength Honkai energy crystal."

"I made six in total, which is enough for you to supply... If you encounter an 'absolutely unbeatable enemy', just throw the crystal inside and shoot it."

"Throw it out?" Qibao motioned to Rita to open the box.

It looked like the box contained some valuables, and had grooves for storing objects.

There are six grooves in the box, with six Hua Hengli crystals placed in a row of three.

They are respectively golden, orange-red, and dark blue.

The moment the box was opened, the powerful Honkai energy rushed towards him.

Even Rita, an A-rank Valkyrie, felt a strong sense of palpitations when she felt this powerful Honkai energy.

It was a threat of death. If she continued to come into contact with it, even she would be corroded by the Honkai energy.

However, although the energy level of this Honkai Impact is very high, because it is Kiana's wavelength, Destiny directly ignores this Honkai Impact 3rd.

Otherwise, the alarm would have sounded.

"What are these!?" Rita looked at the gems and her eyes widened in disbelief.

By now, Rita has already been trained in the assassination unit, and her strength in the Destiny can be considered as a pro.

But she is not yet the future S-class Valkyrie, nor is she yet Otto's future confidant.

Therefore, Rita actually didn't know some information about Kiana.

And now, six ultra-high-energy Honkai crystals suddenly appeared before her eyes. It was natural for Rita to feel unbelievable.

"Qibao, you can't directly convert Houkai energy to charge it, so you have to charge it this way." Kiana pointed at the crystal. "As long as you put the gun and the crystal together, it will automatically charge."

"Besides that, there are also some small props that Tianming has developed based on my power."

"After the golden one throws it out and detonates it, all objects within a spherical radius of 100 meters with it as the center will be swallowed up, imprisoned, and directly sink into the depths of the 'Quantum Sea'."

"If the orange-red one is detonated, it will be an attack that is enough to burn the Emperor-level in one blow. But be careful, its impact radius is roughly 300 meters, which means you must detonate it 300 meters away, otherwise the super-high temperature will injure you or even kill you."

"To put it simply, the blue one is used for treatment. As long as the consciousness has not completely disappeared, even if only the brain is left, it can be saved."

Although Kiana is indeed very powerful, there are times when she is out of reach. It is impossible for Kiana to rush over every time a big or small Honkai event occurs on Earth. That is unrealistic.

So in order to provide some protection for the Valkyries, Otto discussed with Kiana and made in-depth development of Kiana's powers.

These portable props are the recent achievements of Tianming.

The full name of the golden crystal is [Portable·Vision Inversion], which was originally the ability of [Key of Eternal Salvation·One Thousand Worlds·First Rated Power]. For Kiana, it is very easy to replicate it.

The full name of the orange-red crystal is [Portable Skyfire Unsheathed]. In terms of power, it does have the ability to destroy the [Emperor Class] with one strike.

The full name of the dark blue crystal is [Portable Centennial Orchid]. Just as Kiana said, as long as the consciousness is still there, it can be saved even if only a head is left.

There are of course other designs besides this, but they have not been developed yet.

"I have already explained the effect to you clearly. You should have some idea of ​​how to use it when the time comes."

These fancy uses were almost all developed by Chang Guang, the director of the Saint 1503 Research Institute.

Kiana always felt that the way she looked at her was as if she had seen some treasure.

But think about it... the Herrschers of the current civilization are not like the Herrschers of the previous civilization.

Moreover, the power of the Herrscher is not like the Herrscher Core of the previous civilization, which must be driven by the [Key of God].

However, the crystals created by Kiana are just "prototypes", or "Unit-01".

Qibao was able to use it because she possessed extremely strong adaptability to Honkai energy, while the Valkyrie on the side simply couldn't withstand the crystallized Honkai energy.

After all...each of those six crystals possesses a Honkai energy level equivalent to that of the [Emperor].

If they can withstand the erosion of this energy level, then they will be fully capable of using the [Throne of the Gods] series of weapons, and usually they will not have to use these crystals.

So portable equipment still needs to be improved, but Changguang has already made some ideas.

However, these crystals have other uses as well.

Inspired by Walter Yang, Kiana felt that she could also play the role of "Fire Coverage".

For example, Kiana can hold dozens or hundreds of [Portable Skyfire] and throw them out in one go when needed.

Even if Kevin comes, he must retreat before the crystals are used up.

B.6 Do you want to go back?

"Hey, Kiana." At the dining table, Xilin, who was eating, suddenly thought of something and shouted to Kiana.

"Ah? What's the matter?" Kiana, who was thinking about Qibao's "experience" this time, raised her head and asked in confusion.

Kiana thought that if she guessed correctly, then Kiana's "experience" this time was actually the time when Bianca got the holy sword.

Although Kiana also knew that Qibao and Bianca were the same person, and that the tasks that Bianca could successfully complete, Qibao could theoretically also complete, not to mention that Qibao's current strength should be stronger than Bianca of the same period.

But...after all, this is a child she grew up in front of, so Kiana is still a little worried.

"Kiana, have you ever thought about..." Xilin's words came to her lips, but she didn't know how to say them for a long time.

"What have you thought about?" Kiana tilted her head.

We have lived together for such a long time, and Xilin is still embarrassed to talk about something?

"Um..." Xilin pursed her lips. "Just... do you want to go back to your own world?"

Xilin is no longer the illiterate little girl she used to be.

But the more you know, the more difficult some things become.

As the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin naturally has a clearer understanding of 'imaginary numbers', but it is also because of this that Sirin believes that Kiana is not a 'time traveler'.

According to Kiana's own guess and Sirin's understanding of time and space, Sirin believes that Kiana is the 'parallel world traveler'.

Although the two worlds may be very similar, Kiana's world is the 'future' time compared to their world.

But none of this matters. Silin just wants to know if Kiana wants to return to her own world.

"Of course I've thought about it." Kiana's words made Xilin's heart a little lifted.

"and you..."

"I can't find it at all." Kiana spread her hands helplessly.

[Key of Eternal Salvation: One Thousand Worlds] possesses the ability to observe "parallel worlds". As the [Herserer of the Void], Kiana naturally also has this ability. Moreover, she is a Herrser herself, so the efficiency of [One Thousand Worlds] in observing "parallel worlds" is even stronger.

In the past, Kiana would use her power to observe the "parallel world" whenever she had time, trying to find her own world.

But unfortunately, after about three years of observation, Kiana still hasn't found the world she belongs to.

And Kiana discovered something horrible...

The 'parallel world' is not a world in a novel where the flow of time will stop because of the departure of a 'protagonist'.

To be precise, whether it is the world where Kiana is now, or the "parallel worlds" she observes, there is actually no "original world" often mentioned in novels. They are "parallel worlds" to each other.

In other words, the 'parallel worlds' on 'imaginary numbers' observed by Kiana are all complete worlds, parallel to this place.

Among the numerous 'parallel worlds' observed by Kiana, none of them has successfully crossed the collapse, and the time of the 'parallel worlds' will not stop, which means...

After Kiana's inexplicable disappearance, the "artificial end" plan of the "parallel world" where she once lived has failed.

Without her, who could have become the Herrscher of the End, there would be only two possible outcomes for that world.

First, Kevin will intercept the [Power of the End] as planned, and the ideal form of the Holy Mark will become a 'new human', taking over human civilization. Eventually, Kevin and civilization will perish along with the planet called 'Earth' after the planet's life is exhausted.

Secondly, the [Stigmata Project] could not intercept the [Power of the End] as expected, and the [Hersher of the End] finally descended upon the world. Civilization failed to overcome the collapse, and the 'imaginary numbers' would stop supplying nutrients, and eventually the leaves would wither and fall into the 'quantum'.

Of course... these two results are not absolute. After all... what if her Mei became the [Hersher of the End] by coincidence after she disappeared?

In short...all Kiana can do about the 'original world' is to 'wait and look forward to it'.

"So that's how it is." After listening to Kiana's words, Xilin nodded slightly.

If even Kiana can't find her own world, she will be even more helpless.

"Strange..." Xilin pursed her lips. "Why..."

Xilin found that when she asked Kiana if she had ever thought about returning to her own world, she felt a deep sense of distress.

But when Kiana said that she couldn't find her own world at all, a ray of joy quietly spread in her heart.

"What's wrong?" Kiana stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xilin's eyes. "I suddenly became dazed."

"Ah? Oh... nothing." Xilin shook her head. "I just suddenly thought... if you can't go back, what are your plans?"

"Of course, I will rely on my understanding of the 'future' to help everyone overcome the Honkai Impact." Kiana said with her hands on her hips.

For Kiana, whether in this world or in her own world, her 'purpose' has never changed.

'To make this imperfect world a little better', this is Kiana's purpose.

In order to achieve this goal, the first thing to do is to overcome the collapse.

If we cannot overcome the collapse, then the future of mankind will be the end brought about by the "End".

Or it may be replaced by the ideal form of the stigmata.

Although, according to Kevin's description, civilization has been replaced by ideals, it is still civilization.

But Kiana didn't agree with Kevin.

In Kiana's view, civilization is the sum of humanistic spirit, inventions and creations accumulated throughout human history that are conducive to understanding and adapting to the objective world, conform to human spiritual pursuits, and can be recognized and accepted by the vast majority of people.

If even humans disappear, then "civilization" will no longer be "human civilization". It will be replaced by an ideal form. Even if it is exactly the same as today's civilization, it is only the "remnant of human civilization."

But in the final analysis, even Kevin himself admitted that the [Stigmata Plan] was the backup plan and the worst plan.

That's why Kevin said he would capture the 'sun' and he would 'fly' in order to 'fall'.

Before coming to this world, Kiana only had a vague understanding of Kevin's description. Although she could understand what Kevin meant, she couldn't comprehend it.

Now, she understood what Kevin meant, but everything she had to do remained unchanged.

Whether it's destroying the [Stigmata Project], becoming the [Artificial End], or shooting down the 'flying' Kevin...

What she has to do is always consistent.

Only by overcoming the collapse can we make this imperfect world a little better.

Now, she is on that path.

B.7 Kiana's Layout (Fog)

"Help everyone survive the Collapse...Kiana, what are your plans?" Hearing that Kiana could not leave this world, a hint of joy quietly arose in Xilin's heart.

Xilin noticed this hint of joy, but this hint of joy made Xilin feel a little scared.

Because she understood what her joy meant, which meant that she didn't want Kiana to leave.

But more than that, this means that if Kiana wants to leave, she might do something 'not so good'.

Such thoughts frightened Xilin a little.

Because she always remembered what Kiana said to her, that her power was to be used for self-protection, not on innocent people like her.

If Kiana wants to leave, it should be a matter of course.

No one has the right to stop Kiana from returning to her own world.

But understanding doesn't mean Xilin is willing to admit it...

"But fortunately..." Silin glanced at Kiana quietly. "I don't know when we will survive the Collapse..."

Xilin secretly rejoiced because she had enough time to think.
