Seeing Kiana and Li Sushang shift their gaze to her, with an expression of "are you done?", the Herrscher of Knowledge began to tremble in his voice: "You...you..."
After hesitating for a long time, the Herr of Knowledge finally said, "...This is too much!"
Li Sushang withdrew her gaze from the Herrscher of Consciousness, and silently said "What a sin!" in her heart. Although she knew that this was not Grand Master Fu Hua herself, this body still belonged to Grand Master, right? Grand Master looked like she was crying out of anger. Could she bear to see this? She was really crying out of anger!
At the same time, she signaled to Kiana with her eyes: "Is it really appropriate to bully a child like this?"
Kiana rolled her eyes: "You don't have any objections, do you?"
At this moment, absurdism finally began to move. Its scarlet core emitted a stronger light. The entire imaginary space was dyed crimson at this moment, and blood rain, strong winds and thunder began to fall from the empty sky.
"Are you finally taking action?" Li Suchang immediately prepared for battle. "These thunder and wind seem to contain attacks on consciousness. Kiana, be careful!"
After saying that, Li Suchang felt that what he said was a bit redundant. Kiana had that person protecting her from behind. Maybe even if something happened to her, Kiana wouldn't necessarily be in danger, right?
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Kiana's eyes fell on the core of Absurdism. "Senior Suchang, I will attract most of Absurdism's firepower. Similarly, it will definitely focus on guarding against my attack on its core, so... the core is left to you, okay?"
"Of course no problem!" Li Suchang nodded.
"That's settled then." Kiana said and jumped directly from one platform to another, and the next moment she created a staircase and rushed straight towards absurdism.
Li Suchang's eyes focused, and she began to look for a path to the core of absurdism. However, soon after climbing over several platforms, she found that although Kiana attracted most of the firepower of absurdism, the obstacles she had to face on her side were not small either.
"Is this... the Anti-Entropy Titan? How come they appear here? No, it is the authority of the Ruler of Reason?" Li Sushang glanced at the lightning, thunder, bloody scene on Kiana's side, and suddenly felt that the pressure on his side was quite small.
This posture... It seems that the authority of the Herrscher who came to Taixu Mountain has been eroded by absurdism? And it seems that the Herrscher of Thunder's authority has been eroded to the same extent as the Herrscher of Consciousness.
Just as Li Suchang was about to smash all the Titans blocking her way and continue on her way, a gun pierced directly through the Titan in front of her.
"The Herr of Knowledge?"
“Tsk… Thank you, my Lord, for being generous and not caring about your affairs!” The Herrscher of Knowledge turned his head away. “This guy actually dared to take away my authority while I wasn’t paying attention. I have to settle this account with him!”
Chapter 147: Ai Lishiya: How can I help?
"Well... it looks like everyone has worked hard. Although Otto's past actions are questionable, he did play an important role in this crusade against absurdism..."
Alicia looked at the image displayed in the [Future], holding her chin with one hand, and commented on the people who were working together to fight against absurdism.
Her eyes fell on Kiana and the other two who were facing the Absurdism. "Feng, you are still... Never mind. After all, Kiana found you by her own ability, so I won't care about it for now... Kiana attracted most of the Absurdism's firepower, Su Shang and Xiao Zhi are also working together to break through the Absurdism's defenses and steadily move towards the core of Absurdism. Hmm... Not bad?"
Thinking of this, Alicia's gaze fell on a dream light ball again, and her expression became a little strange.
"Although Wendy and Walter used the Herrscher's authority to cut off the roots of absurdism that were eroding the Herrscher's authority, causing their authority to be eroded by absurdism, but overall, the roots of absurdism will eventually be cut off and will no longer be able to absorb the Herrscher's authority... Kallen and Bronya also performed well, and the children of the Shaniyatt family are still working so hard... It's just you, Mei..."
When the main force of the expedition had basically escaped from the illusion, Mei, who failed to escape from the illusion, became a burden instead. Because she was unable to escape from the illusion, the erosion of Mei's authority as a Herrscher was particularly serious, and then it was directly reflected on Kiana's side, which was like lightning and thunder. If Feng hadn't given Kiana a cheat, Kiana would have suffered a lot because of this.
Although Kiana is not afraid of absurdism eroding her authority as a Herrscher, she is still a Herrscher after all. As long as she uses her authority, she will still be affected to a certain extent under the dominance of absurdism.
Ever since Mei got Maple's approval to enter the Land of the Past, Alicia has been observing Mei. After all, Maple said that in the timeline where he didn't exist, Mei was the first Herrscher to visit the Land of the Past, and...
It seems like there is some special connection with Kiana?
No matter what special connection it is, it doesn't matter as long as it can stop Kiana from thinking about her family's Kaede Alicia.
But after observing her for a while, I felt that Mei was different from the Mei described by Feng. Not only was she impatient and difficult to calm down, but she also had a special obsession with Kiana, but there was no sign of it from Kiana...
At first, Alicia was also puzzled by the huge deviation. Now, seeing the illusion that Mei was trapped in, she suddenly understood why it turned out like this.
The reason...is probably because of Feng, a guy who is extremely biased.
According to the original timeline that Feng had told her, Mei was supposed to defeat Kiana in Changkong City and seize the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder, then accept Kevin's invitation to join the World Serpent, then complete the crusade against the two Herrschers, and then enter the Paradise of the Afterlife.
The problem lies in the elegy of sinners in Changkong City.
If I remember correctly, Kiana was originally exposed to fatal Honkai energy radiation in Sky City. Coupled with the multiple gems in her body, her body was close to collapse, which made Mei decisively step into the darkness in order to save Kiana. What was the name of Feng's sentence?
"I will fall into darkness and bring you back to the light."
But the problem is, with Feng around, how could Kiana have a physical breakdown? Feng's partiality for Kiana was almost from the earth to the moon.
If Feng's concern for the younger generations of the current civilization is rated 100 points, Kiana can account for 90 points. He is really so partial, and he is the kind of person who takes it for granted and thinks it is okay.
Feng was too lazy to care about Bronya, Mei, Wendy and others. The remaining 10 points were either on Bianca's child or on the Shanyiat family's child.
It is because of Feng's unreasonable preference that Kiana, who has been trained by him into a hexagonal warrior, does not need to be saved by anyone at all.
According to Alicia's speculation, Mei may have wanted to catch up with Kiana from the very beginning. In the original timeline, Kiana was in trouble, which provided Mei with the opportunity to catch up with Kiana and defeat Kiana in the duel in Nagizora City, proving that she is indeed qualified and capable of saving Kiana.
Therefore, after that, Mei no longer had to worry about whether she could catch up with Kiana and could take the next step towards the future.
However, because of Feng's training of Kiana, the power gap between Kiana and Mei in Changkong City reached a desperate point. From the beginning to the end, Kiana was in a suppressive position against Mei. Mei was able to obtain the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder in the end only because Kiana softened her heart and didn't want to continue fighting, so she gave it to her.
If Feng had paid more attention to Bronya and Mei when training Kiana, or at least given Kiana some advice so that she, Mei and Bronya could progress together, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
But... after all, he is Feng... Alicia knows her husband's personality very well.
He doesn't care, that doesn't mean he can love Kiana and take care of her companions. At the same time, because of his training of Kiana, there was a big gap between Kiana and Mei and others from the beginning, so Kiana didn't care much about them...
In short, it was because Feng trained Kiana too much, and made Kiana too versatile and strong, that Mei was unable to complete her own ideological transformation in the duel in Changkong City. Her thinking was still stuck at the level of catching up with Kiana, and thus...she lost her most critical opportunity for growth.
However, if Mei's transformation must be based on her catching up with Kiana and at least being able to tie with her, then...
Judging from the current situation, Alicia is really, really pessimistic about Mei.
Because there's really no way to take good care of it, and she also wants to help Mei. At least, Feng will find a way to help Mei so that Mei can keep an eye on Kiana and not think about her.
but……
How can she help Mei in this situation?
If Mei wants to catch up with Kiana, she must learn to calm down, learn from the battle experiences of other Heroes and her in the paradise, experience the fire-chasing journey that the Heroes have taken, and realize the true power of the Herrscher of Thunder, instead of blindly thinking that as long as she is a Herrscher like Kiana and knows the same things as Kiana, she can catch up with Kiana.
Not to mention, there is a gap between the herrists and the herrists.
So the situation became: if Mei doesn't catch up with Kiana, she won't be able to complete the transformation and maturity of her thoughts. If she doesn't complete the transformation and maturity of her thoughts, she will never be able to catch up with Kiana, and this successfully forms a vicious circle.
This is where Alicia feels embarrassed. How should she comfort Mei? Or where should she start to comfort Mei, who is now deeply trapped in her obsession and cannot extricate herself?
Alicia felt a headache. Judging from all of Feng's performance so far, plus Alicia's speculation, the three key figures to defeat Honkai in the original timeline should be the three children Kiana, Mei and Bronya. But in Feng's current view, the other two are completely unnecessary. He probably really thinks that Kiana, whom he raised, can accomplish the ideal of defeating Honkai alone.
That's why he doesn't care about other people at all.
Or in other words, Mei and Bronya's starting points are too low. Compared to them, Feng believes that Sushang and Bianca can replace their roles. If Sushang and Bianca are not Herrschers, then the Shanyiat family also has two standard Herrscher candidates: Anna and Angelica, who can also replace Mei and Bronya.
Regardless of the reason, Feng's attention to Mei and Bronya is in a state of "wherever they can go", but for Kiana, she wants to pave the way directly under her feet. The heroes specially train her from the real paradise, and directly arrange the Shaniyat team to assist her. All the good things are stuffed for Kiana. Maybe Otto is kept just to let him assist Kiana. What a difference in treatment...
Even if Kiana is indeed the Herrscher of the End, and is indeed the key to saving the world, it is not the case...
Biased, too biased. To say that Feng is biased from the earth to the moon would be an understatement.
For Feng, he must have no other subjective purpose. He just felt that he should do this and that it was best for Kiana. However, his self-evident and blatant favoritism would not be seen as such in the eyes of others.
"Ugh……"
Alicia sighed helplessly. She was ready to have a good talk with Feng about this matter later.
After thinking for a while, seeing that Mei still hadn't gotten out of the illusion, Alicia couldn't help but frown. Otto should have noticed it a long time ago, but why did he decide to leave it alone? After all, Mei still had the strength of the Herrscher of Thunder, so she wouldn't just leave it alone, right?
Moreover, absurdism has been absorbing Mei's power, helping Mei to break free from the illusion, and can more effectively cut off the roots of absurdism. Otto actually left Mei alone and chose another less efficient plan? This should not exist for Otto?
Is this guy planning something in secret again? I have to ask Mavis and Lilim to pay close attention to his actions from now on...
If Mei really slept from the beginning to the end of this crusade, Kiana's opinion of Mei would become even lower. She would bring Mei with her to crusade against the Herrscher this time, but next time, Kiana would probably not bring Mei with her no matter what she said and would directly take the Shaniyat team to deal with it.
No, I should at least struggle a bit, whether it's to divert Kiana's attention or to gain more strength in the future fight against the final curtain, I should also help a little.
Thinking of this, Alicia stretched out her hand and lightly touched the scene projected in the future, and the ball of light in Mei's dream was burst like a bubble.
After that, we really have to think carefully about Mei's future training plan. If this continues, the final savior will have to be changed.
In the dream space.
Otto, who was using the power and computing power of the Void to accurately analyze the roots of absurdism, suddenly raised his eyebrows. He shifted his gaze to the dream light ball where Mei was. Mei was still looking at her hands with a blank face, as if she was somewhat unaware of the current situation.
Otto narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly glanced at the other people who were destroying the roots of absurdism.
He was sure that no one should go to wake Mei up. Among the people who were most likely to wake Mei up, Bronya was using the heavy-armored bunny to help her locate the roots of absurdism. Wendy and Walter were arranged by him to attract the firepower of the roots of absurdism...
Could it be that one?
"Should I say you are lucky, Herrscher of Thunder... But I didn't expect this step to go far. After all, success or failure has no impact on me." Otto retracted his gaze. "As long as your mentality does not change, as long as your current thinking remains so naive, you will be in such a situation again and again. Even if someone is willing to help you once or twice, they will be disappointed and give up on you after too many times."
Otto glanced at Wendy and Walter again, his eyes becoming thoughtful once again.
Walter, who had just cut off a root of absurdism, suddenly felt a chill. He shifted his gaze toward Otto warily. His years of experience and intuition in dealing with Otto told him that this old fox must be planning to stab him in the back again.
But Kallen is here, how is he going to backstab me?
Seeing Walter's alert look, Otto shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Don't look at me like that. If you are so afraid that I will stab you in the back, why don't you go and talk to the Herrscher of Thunder who just woke up from his dream about the current situation."
Walter shifted his gaze to Mei, who had not yet figured out the current situation. He thought that Mei had escaped from the dream by herself, and nodded, thinking that Mei had finally grown up a little and would not sleep until the end of the battle.
As Mei woke up from her dream, the roots that originally absorbed Mei's power were also cut off. In addition, Mei also joined the battle, and the roots extending from absurdism were soon all cut off.
At the same time as the roots of absurdism were cut off, Kiana and her team also successfully completed the crusade against absurdism and destroyed the core of absurdism.
Thus, the entire illusion was completely lifted and dissipated, and the authority that had been eroded by absurdism was gradually restored.
"Oh...it was such a fierce battle..." Li Suchang moved his shoulders. Absurdism finally discovered that he and Herrscher of Consciousness were trying to attack its core, so it diverted some of its firepower to target itself and Herrscher of Consciousness. In the end, it was Kiana who seized the opportunity and dealt it a fatal blow.
"Well done, Kiana. You are worthy of being the fastest clearer of the Paradise of the Past!" Li Sushang smiled and patted Kiana on the shoulder. Then he looked at the Herrscher of Consciousness, "By the way, Senior-Uncle Lixue's consciousness..."
"Tsk... sleeping here." The Herrscher of Consciousness curled his lips and a feather of Yu Duchen appeared in his hand. That was the feather of Yu Duchen that Fu Hua had given to Cheng Lixue before. After defeating Cheng Lixue, the Herrscher of Consciousness took this feather away.
The Herrscher of Knowledge saw that the silver lines on Kiana's face were disappearing and her pupils turned back to blue, and immediately said, "Wait a minute, Kiana, we haven't settled the score yet! You were cheating before, and now I..."
"Oh?" Kiana turned her gaze towards the Herrscher of Knowledge. The silver lines that were disappearing suddenly changed back, and her pupils also turned silver again. "Are you sure?"
Lawyer of Knowledge: "..."
You are so cruel! How come this cheating plug-in is still there outside?
Seeing that the Herrscher of Knowledge chose to remain silent and surrender, the silver lines on Kiana's face disappeared instantly. She shifted her gaze to Mei. Although she was curious why Mei's authority had been eroded so much by absurdism, it seemed that Mei should still have participated in the crusade... Well, not bad.
Mei is still working hard.
Chapter 148 Otto: I am your ally
Taixu Mountain.
After joining up with Karin and the others in the village, the crusade was finally declared over, and everyone basically returned to where they came from.
Except for Bronya, who had already agreed with Kiana to go to the World Snake.
“In this way, this matter has come to an end. As for the Ruler of Consciousness…” Li Suchang looked at the Ruler of Consciousness who was standing aside, and the other party snorted and turned away.
The Herrscher of Knowledge crossed his arms and said, "Even if you beat me, I'm going back on my own accord. I have a score to settle with that woman Alicia!"
Although she had never defeated Alicia in the last fight, that was because Alicia herself had a buggy weapon called [Future]. According to the current understanding of the Herrscher of Knowledge, she felt that Kiana and Alicia would not get along well, and Feng happened to take good care of Alicia, so it would not be so dangerous for her to return to the World Snake at this time.
After all, if Kiana and Alicia don't get along, there might be other people in the World Snake who support Kiana. If Alicia still intends to break up with herself... then it will only be counterproductive.
So what's there to go back to?
Maybe we can find a way to rescue that old antique.
"I'll leave the World Serpent to Herrscher of Consciousness and Kiana. I'll go back to Tianming with the Rakshasa and Miss Kallen, taking Uncle Lixue's Yu Duchen with me." Li Suchang said.
Mei shifted her gaze to Kiana. To be honest, she could clearly feel the change in Kiana's attitude towards her. At the beginning, Kiana brought her along because she still had doubts about her own strength. When she insisted on going to the top of Taixu Mountain to participate in the crusade, Kiana also worried about her safety.
But now that the crusade was over, Kiana had become a little more trusting of herself.
Is it because I woke up from a dream?
Mei was not so stupid that she didn't even know what was happening. On the contrary, she was very clear that she had not been able to break free from the dream at all. The dream woven by absurdism was too beautiful, so beautiful that she was no longer willing to face reality. In that dream, she could fight side by side with Kiana, and they could trust each other with their backs.
So...she didn't wake up from the dream by her own ability.
Kiana's change in attitude towards him must be due to the illusion that he had "broken away" from the dream. He mistakenly believed that he had indeed defeated the dream with his own will, and felt that he really had the ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with her...
But... this is not my own credit after all. This is not something I have accomplished with my own willpower.
Mei sighed deeply. Of course, she wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Kiana, but this recognition based on a false appearance was not solid. Her true level was there. She could deceive Kiana this time, but what about the next time? Could she keep deceiving her? When the recognition built on a false appearance was exposed, she would fall badly.
When that time really comes...
She didn't even dare to think about Kiana's disappointed look at her.
That's really stepping into the abyss.
But, but... she was so afraid to admit it to Kiana, to tell her that she really hadn't escaped from the dream...
"Now that this matter is over, before we part, I still have a few words to talk to Kiana alone. I wonder if Kiana has the time?" Otto said with a smile, "Do you think that our cooperation this time was quite pleasant?"
