"You have no right to judge me, Kiana. What you can do, I can do too. I will fulfill your wishes in your place, and you just need to live on. If you want to stop me, defeat me here, or you will not be able to move forward!"

Not far away, Kevin and Su Xin walked side by side, but the distance between them seemed to be getting further and further apart.

The two watched Kiana and Raiden Mei fight without the slightest change in their expressions.

"I don't understand you, Su Xin. I thought you would help me."

"I can't."

At this moment, Kevin did not understand the true meaning of Su Xin's words. If he had known, he would not have asked such a futile question.

Those who rebel against fate will inevitably become puppets of fate, reduced to slaves without freedom.

Chapter 101 So-called Ordinary, Illusory Miracle

The sky cleared, and the clouds gradually approached.

When the clouds dispersed and the clock tower's dazzling lights once again illuminated Kiana's serene face, the battle filled with contradictions and conflicts ended long ago.

Su Xin and Kevin went to the clock tower. Kevin took Mei's clothes, and Su Xin hugged Kiana.

"He's not your teacher, Himeko Murata," Kevin reminded Mei, his eyes darting around.

Mei nodded, without asking any further questions. She simply observed the look in the eyes and the mannerisms to confirm that the person in front of her was not Himeko-sensei.

The other person was unsmiling and even looked at you like you were a stranger, without any emotion whatsoever.

"Can we hand Kiana over to her?" Mei asked.

“There is no better choice.” Kevin replied simply. “Raiden Mei, since you have chosen this path and awakened the Herrscher of Thunder with my help, there is no room for regret. There is no need to look back.”

"I understand. I will take Kiana's place and, as agreed, learn about the Herrschers' information in advance, and then eliminate them one by one!"

Mei's gaze was resolute. The moment she knocked Kiana unconscious, it was clear that her peaceful days were over, and her life would only become more difficult and arduous.

The World Serpent could provide more information about the Herrschers, and even a way to defeat the Honkai. It was only through this that Mei realized how frivolous St. Freya's method of fighting the Honkai was.

It is indeed possible to influence a Lawrence with love, but not every Lawrence retains a heart that still yearns for the world.

While the Herrscher personality no longer completely destroys commands in this era, it represents the darker side of humanity.

Tyranny is naturally one of them.

Before leaving, Mei couldn't help but look back at Kiana one last time. Kiana was exhausted and could no longer fight.

Has she taken over Himeko's body and will, and what is her relationship with Kevin?

Kevin trusted the other person too much; was he also a former civilization warrior?

Su Xin carried Qiyana as they walked through the city on the street; he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Because the Honkai Bomb will not explode today.

But he will definitely leave, because soon the city center will be razed to the ground, and all those living peaceful lives will either suffer injustice and torment or enjoy a wonderful life, full of hope and anticipation for the future.

Without exception, they will all realize the preciousness of life through the brutal elimination process.

Once a living person dies, the dead person will have nothing more to say.

The crisp sound of a bell rang in Su Xin's ears.

Within half a minute, a large group of children rushed out.

Su Xin was a little stunned. Holding Kiana, she stood at a distance without leaving, quietly watching the students leave the campus in groups.

It's late at night now, around 10:20 PM, which is the time when students in Shenzhou who are studying in the evening are getting out of school.

The students laughed and chatted, mostly walking home in pairs, exchanging a few words as they went.

Sometimes his face was joyful, and sometimes it was gloomy and sad.

Su Xin didn't know the reason either; perhaps the news of the destruction of Tianqiong City yesterday caused panic.

Does destiny use reasons to cover up the world's serpent?

A large chemical plant explosion? A meteorite?

It's understandable that they would be worried about the future after learning that a neighboring city had disappeared.

Su Xin shook her head and continued forward. No one paid much attention; at most, they cast envious and amazed glances.

He was used to giving people a look, but most people would only steal a glance and then slip away, afraid of being caught peeking.

There was a time when ordinary people were like this too. When they saw a very beautiful girl, they couldn't help but stare at her intently. If she turned her head away, they would immediately pretend to be chatting with their friends or classmates.

As Su Xin walked into the vast crowd, he saw the student who had looked worried earlier.

Su Xin guessed they were probably talking about life, Sky Dome City, and the future.

But he received an unexpected yet perfectly logical answer—

"So annoying! Do the teachers even know how much homework they assign? They told us to lighten the load for Chinese, so it's one worksheet; math, not much, one worksheet; English, little, one worksheet; physics, not difficult, so one whole worksheet; chemistry, do whatever you want, but we'll go over one worksheet tomorrow; biology, two worksheets, and they're giving me half a day more. When am I supposed to do them? During class in the morning?"

"Do you guys in the experimental class get any tests? If you're not going to do them, you can just copy them."

"Maybe! If you don't do it, someone else will! These papers are carefully selected by the teachers. If the next monthly exam has the same questions, and you get them wrong because you didn't do the papers, you'll be in big trouble! The teachers will definitely call these people out in class and give them a severe scolding or even punishment!"

"Emm, I don't understand the pain of you science students. How about I buy you a glass of lemonade?"

"Really, Godfather!? Oh, sorry, I blurted it out."

The boy scratched the back of his head and forced an awkward but polite smile, while the girl smiled brightly, her eyes crinkling, and her face didn't seem to be scolding him much.

Perhaps finding the boy's reaction cute, the girl looked quite relaxed and didn't seem to care about the misunderstanding.

Because there wasn't much money left for living expenses, and couldn't afford anything else, the only thing she could buy was a glass of lemonade for the stressed-out boy.

After hesitating for a while, the boy finally expressed his gratitude, and his whole demeanor changed instantly, becoming energetic and full of vitality.

"Just kidding, I'll work overtime tonight to finish it!" The boy clenched his fist, making a solemn vow.

"So, what about your class tomorrow? Science courses are important, right?" the girl tilted her head and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I only have two Chinese classes tomorrow morning."

"Pfft, then good luck!"

Su Xin stood there, stunned for a long time. The cool evening breeze brushed against her cheeks, and her wine-red hair kept hitting her eyes as the wind blew.

Sand got into her eyes, and Su Xin reached out to rub them; they became somewhat wet.

These conversations were familiar and beautiful.

He remembered that he had been one of them, but he couldn't recall the specifics; he only had a vague feeling.

It's painful; I care about it, but I can't recall it no matter what I do.

In the long course of his life, he traveled so far that he could no longer see the path he had come from, and even the future seemed increasingly uncertain.

After that, the couple from Shenzhou, who only dared to hold hands on their way home from school, disappeared from Su Xin's sight.

In the last second before disappearing, Su Xin watched them go to the future.

Youthful yet beautiful, the future

As the Honkai swept through the entire city, amidst the ruins, a lifeless boy held a girl in his arms, trying to shield her from the Honkai energy with his body.

Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain; the boy didn't know how to protect the girl.

He sacrificed everything to keep her alive.

Life is not a small thing; miracles happen all the time.

No miracle occurred. The boy and girl were just ordinary people, neither of them potential Stigmata Awakeners, nor did they have any tragic experiences that led to them being chosen as Herrschers by the Honkai.

Perhaps many more people were daydreaming about the future just a moment ago, but life is fleeting and leaves no trace after death.

"So you weren't worried about the destruction of Sky City after all?"

Su Xin lowered her head, looked at Kiana in her arms, and fell into deep thought once again.

He possessed extraordinary powers, and he could interact with people who were all extraordinary beings. Having lived in this circle for a long time, he had made Su Xin forget—

What is ordinariness?

Ordinary people don't care about so much. Even if a city is destroyed or a cutting-edge technology makes a major breakthrough, they will at most be temporarily attracted and discuss it out of curiosity.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there are many more ordinary things, just like theirs.

Is tonight's homework difficult? Is there a lot of it? What if I can't finish it?

We'll have breakfast tomorrow, but what about lunch? Or tonight?

How about chatting with your girlfriend after you've had some free time tonight? Should we prepare a little surprise?

If you do poorly on an exam, you shouldn't change those multiple-choice questions at the end; otherwise, your ranking would definitely have improved significantly.

We have PE class the day after tomorrow, so I can play ball with my classmates!

Su Xin bit her lip and chased after them to watch the boy and girl say goodbye.

He didn't step forward. There was no one else around. Su Xin stood there, her eyes glazed, mechanically muttering, "Right? No."

An apology without action is always weak and powerless, but it can make the guilty feel a little better, just a little.

The next day, Kiana woke up on a clean white bed, her head buzzing as if thunder was rumbling incessantly.

As soon as I sat down, I felt intense pain in my limbs and even my back, and the degree of Honkai erosion worsened once again.

Dense, purplish-black lines covered Kiana's neck, with a few more on her face.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Kiana cried out in pain, glancing around to observe her surroundings and realizing that it looked like a hotel.

What about Danming?

Kiana scanned the room but couldn't find Su Xin anywhere, not even her clothes.

"Calm down, think about me carefully. Before, when I went with Danming to stop the Honkai bomb from detonating, we encountered Mei."

Kiana covered her head, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She hadn't expected Mei to take the initiative to become the Herrscher of Thunder, whom she had never dared to face before, just to protect her.

Looking at the pitch black, I couldn't lift my left hand, but I could barely move my right hand.

Kiana sighed, not paying much attention to her physical condition, and continued to recall: "Mei defeated me, but did she stop the Honkai Bomb from detonating?"

"No, her power must have come from the World Serpent. Not long after I left, the World Serpent extended an olive branch to Mei, wanting Mei to help them complete it."

"Damn it!" Kiana clenched her fist and slammed it against the wall behind her, ignoring the pain.

Unfortunately, due to extreme weakness, it did not cause any damage to the wall.

"If I were stronger, if I were even stronger, perhaps none of this tragedy would have happened. Mei wouldn't have to do things that make her feel bad anymore, and the people of Sky Dome City and other cities wouldn't have to die!"

Kiana gritted her teeth, feeling extremely guilty.

There is hatred, but hatred is powerless, hatred fails, hatred cannot change some tragedies, nor can it undo those unnecessary sacrifices.

"Bang! Bang!" There was a knock on the door. Kiana looked up but didn't answer. Su Xin walked in on her own.

He was carrying a family bucket.

"Awake."

"Danming, that Honkai bomb..."

"The explosion did not result in the need for a Holy Mark, so more cities will be added to the experiment list."

"I can't accept this! Treating everyone's lives like numbers in a plan, such a plan will never save the world!" Kiana's voice was sharp as she vented her anger.

Su Xin placed the family bucket on the bedside table to Kiana's right because Kiana couldn't lift her left hand and could only eat with her right hand.

There's no need to feed her; Su Xin isn't in the mood right now.

If the world hadn't collapsed, and remained as peaceful and tranquil as Earth before my transmigration, I'd probably be happy to feed the beautiful girl.

"What's done is done, it's a fact, so let's not mention it again." Su Xin moved a stool over and sat next to Kiana, opening the family bucket packaging. Inside were Kiana's favorite fried chicken, and what was called...

Su Xin had tasted all sorts of things in the Middle Ages, and by drawing on recipes from previous civilizations, Otto made even better fried chicken and cola.

Back then, just one sip was enough to make me feel incredibly satisfied, happy, and extremely happy.

Now, even though cola is unbearably sweet, drinking it doesn't bring me any joy. It's as if it's only for filling my stomach and has no other meaningful purpose.

"I can't eat!" Kiana sulked.

"It's okay, I'll eat it, and I won't buy it for you." Su Xin ignored Kiana and continued eating.

"You, Danming, don't you find it difficult at all?"
