I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

"You finally woke up, Kiana..."

Mei and Kiana hugged each other tightly, but there was no joy in their hearts, but instead they were full of worries.

Because the one I love the most has not come back yet.

"what happened?"

Kiana also noticed that Mei was absent-minded, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Ye Ming...hasn't come back yet."

"Ye Ming? Is he here too?"

At that moment, Kiana was almost overwhelmed by joy, but soon, the pain surged up again.

Can I really go to see Ye Ming? What should I do if I can't control the Ruler of the Void in my body?

What should I do if my longing for him doubles after seeing him?

It was not easy to make up her mind to leave him. If she wavered again, it would bring danger to Ye Ming sooner or later.

"..."

After struggling for a long time, Kiana finally gave up the idea of ​​meeting Ye Ming and asked:

"Is he... okay?"

"..."

This time it was Mei who remained silent.

"Ye Ming is...ok."

Although Mei knew that Ye Ming was not doing well at the moment.

But in order not to add unnecessary burden to Kiana, Mei finally did not tell the truth.

"When it's late at night, Ye Ming will come back."

Hearing this news, Kiana seemed very flustered:

"No...I can't see him yet..."

"why?"

"Because I finally decided... Ugh! What is that?"

Before Kiana could finish her words, the Gate of Imaginary Numbers appeared in the sky above Changkong City.

"That beam of light, I've seen this sight before."

Cold rain pounded the ground and the air was shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

The Gate of Nothingness in the distance seemed like a dark star, emitting dim light, adding a lot of desolation to the thunderous night.

"correct."

Kiana suddenly had an idea.

"Using the power of the Herrscher of the Sky, I can close the big hole in the sky and solve the source of this storm."

But this idea was only told to Mei. Kiana's real idea was to use the mission of closing the Door of Imaginary Numbers to avoid the reunion with Ye Ming.

"No! Your injuries haven't recovered yet! You can't continue fighting!"

Although Mei shouted with all her might, her voice still seemed small in the heavy rain.

"Mei, I can't just leave it alone. This is my responsibility."

The rain was pouring down, the wind was howling, and the leaves were rustling in the wind, as if they were about to be pulled away from the tree trunks as if their life was snatched away in the next moment.

Just like no one could stop a broken branch from being blown down by a storm, Mei couldn't stop Kiana.

The story after that is no different from the Mei arc.

Ye Ming used Yu Duchen to enter Mei's subconscious mind and sealed her feelings and memories of him deep in her heart.

Meiyi temporarily forgot about Ye Ming and freed herself from the painful choice. She helped Kiana lighten her burden in the way that she least wanted to see.

At the same time, it also made the Herrscher of the Void in Kiana's body much calmer.

"..."

"..."

"Even Mei left me."

Kiana woke up on the rooftop and looked at the night sky with dull eyes.

Her body has recovered a lot and she is able to stand up and move around normally.

But at this moment she was lying on the rooftop motionless.

On the one hand, it is because of the pain caused by internal and external injuries and the fatigue caused by overdrawing strength.

On the other hand... I can no longer find anything that can support my inner self.

"Am I...alone again?"

In the deserted Changkong City, the night was eerily quiet. Kiana curled up her body, but could not resist the erosion of loneliness.

Even the wind blowing past my ears was silent, as if not only Mei had abandoned me, but I no longer had a place in the whole world.

"Why didn't I realize before? Is loneliness so unbearable?"

No matter how many people he saved during this period, all he got in return were curses and fear.

Thinking about it this way, Kiana really felt: "Perhaps I am not allowed to exist."

514. Are you that important to me?

There was not a single star in the night sky as the storm had just ended.

There was only darkness in Kiana's eyes, as if the world had lost its color.

Maybe she can cheer up tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow she will fight for beauty again because of her promise with Ji Zi.

But not today, not now.

She wanted to be comforted, but she didn't dare to ask for it. She could only let the light in her eyes gradually fade, until...

Ye Ming's figure was reflected again in the eyes blurred by mist.

"finally found you."

"..."

Hearing Ye Ming's call, Kiana was very confused.

It was a time of despair, Mei had just left him, and there were so many painful things...

But the moment he saw Ye Ming, it was like a ray of sunshine shining into the ruins covered with dust and frost.

The world, which was originally pitch black, began to show colors again.

"Why...I will feel happy..."

However, Kiana, who felt warmth and surprise from the bottom of her heart, couldn't help crying.

"Mei left me, and I don't see any hope for the future. There are still so many mistakes that cannot be made up for..."

"How can I...feel happy..."

Compared to her former willful self, Kiana now fell into a completely opposite extreme.

She didn't dare face her own desires. Even if they were normal needs, she would feel fear, fearing that she would commit another crime.

So when Ye Ming found her, the desire to follow her inner feelings and rely on him almost caused Kiana to have a traumatic stress reaction.

"Just because I have temporarily suppressed the Herrscher of the Void, just because I can be with you again, all the pain has been suppressed."

Kiana's shoulders trembled, and in a self-deceiving tone, she asked Ye Ming, and herself, a question whose answer she already knew:

"Are you that important to me?"

It’s important enough to feel happy despite so many painful things.

It is so important that even if you have made up your mind not to meet each other again, you will still think about meeting again because of a little turn of events.

"You've done well enough, Kiana."

Ye Ming hugged Qiana, gently stroked her long hair, and said softly:

"You have worked very hard during this period. Now, please accept the reward you deserve."

These two short sentences almost pierced the most vulnerable part of Kiana's heart.

"Can I really...?"

"Ah."

Ye Ming’s affirmation was like a rain cloud on the dry earth. His words, his body temperature, everything about him... all became the sweet rain that moistened the cracks in Kiana’s heart.

After that, Ye Ming and Kiana returned to Anti-Entropy together.

When Tesla saw Ye Ming, his face was full of surprise.

"Are you... okay?"

"It's not like he's fine, but he won't die anytime soon."

"You killed all those hundreds of Honkai beasts?"

"Um……"

"It's incredible, can you let me study it?"

"can."

"Tsk, I knew you were such a stingy guy... eh eh?"

Tesla thought Ye Ming would definitely refuse, because everyone she asked the same question had refused.

"But there is a prerequisite. You must provide help and respect to Kiana."

"Even if you don't say so, we will help Kiana, but..."

Tesla could easily agree to this, but on the topic of respect, she could only say helplessly:

"Most people are afraid of Kiana, but you may not know that the places destroyed by her are larger than a city when put together."

"It's not her, it's the Herrscher of the Void."

Ye Ming specifically corrected it.

"Well, I know, but the problem is, most people don't know."

Tesla shrugged and said:

"Thousands of people will fear Kiana as the Herrscher of the Sky. This is not an influence that can be eliminated in a short period of time."

Ye Ming couldn't quite accept it, so he just asked:

"Even for an organization like Anti-Entropy, are its members unaware of the truth?"

Tesla nodded. "In fact, even if Anti-Entropy is like this, the impression of ordinary people on Kiana is even worse."

At this point, Ye Ming finally understood why Kiana was so sad.

"Is there nothing you can do?"

"No solution."

Tesla said:

"Unless Kiana does something heroic that saves millions of people and everyone must know about it, otherwise, it will take years to slowly change her attitude."

············

After that, Kiana finally lived a relatively stable life.

Although people's fear and discrimination against her were not very serious, Bronya and Seele were around, so the situation was not too bad.

The most important thing is… although he disappears from time to time, generally speaking, Ye Ming is by Kiana’s side.

Gradually, Kiana began to regain her smile and vitality, and her appetite became stronger.

And when they encountered the Thousand Herrscher incident, Ye Ming was also acting with Kiana.
