Chapter 1475

~6 min read 1,070 words

The 【Stigmata Project】 achieves the result of 【stealing the power of Finality】 through a certain operation on the 【Cocoon】.

And Anti-Entropy's 【artificially creating a Herrscher of Finality】 plan, although the method is different, also has the same goal of mastering the power of Finality.

And then... transcend Finality.

After finishing the entire meeting content, the players' discussions were also extremely intense.

Because of "A Post-Honkai Odyssey," plus the fact that the preview had already revealed that Qiyana would become the Herrscher of Finality, the players had all guessed the final result.

It was just that the process made the players feel extremely curious.

In the end, did Qiyana become the Herrscher of Finality because of this Anti-Entropy plan?

And was it because of that 【backdoor】 of Weierwei's that gave Qiyana and the others great help?

These various guesses also made the players look forward to the subsequent plot immensely.

Finally, the protagonist group also discussed the specific plan for 【Exploring Origin】.

After an hour of "997" passed.

You Lan Dai Er, Theresa, and the others all arrived at the Sea of Quanta to prepare for the next action.

Their action was the prerequisite for the two action plans of 【Exploring Origin】 and 【Transcending Finality】.

And Qiyana and the others were also waiting for the opportunity for 【Exploring Origin】 at St. Freya Academy.

But waiting indefinitely was clearly not the correct choice, so Bronya and the others finally decided to take the initiative.

And because taking the initiative had certain risks, Yayi, as the main action personnel—that is, invading the depths of the Stigmata Project and using the 【beacon】 given by Weierwei to find the 【true backdoor】—had the possibility of being swallowed by the Stigmata Project again.

Therefore, Bronya flattered the Herrscher of Sentience heavily, hoping she could free up her hands to help as much as possible.

Although it is said that even if she didn't praise the Herrscher of Sentience, the Herrscher of Sentience would still help, it was still quite surprising that the usually emotionless Yaya could coax a child like this.

Hmm... and also very joyful.

And Qiyana was responsible for using the Herrscher of the Void's authority to temporarily seal the space about to be torn apart, leaving only the most conservative retreat route.

Doing this could further buy time for Yayi, reduce the risk of exposure, and delay the counterattack of the Stigmata Project.

After discussing the action plan, Bronya did not hesitate.

She used the Herrscher of Truth's ability to break open space, bringing Yayi and Qiyana into a strange space.

However, after solving all obstacles, just as Yayi had the opportunity to continue forward, Bronya discovered that this path was actually a one-way passage, with no return.

And the 【backdoor】 left by Weierwei was completely an unknown variable...

It was very likely that if Yayi went, the protagonist group would have to execute another dangerous operation similar to Qiyana rescuing her father.

Even in the worst case, they might not be able to find Yayi's trail, leading to no opportunity to rescue Yayi.

After thinking for a while, Yayi still decided... to take this risk.

"I think... this is my 【responsibility】, or perhaps 【mission】."

"For me, who inherited the Hero's signet, this trip is not just about 【trying to contact the authority】, and furthermore..."

"I believe in Qiyana, I also believe in Bronya, and I believe in 【everyone】 who has weathered the storms with us in the past..."

Yayi closed her eyes slightly, and the figure of Aili Xiang appeared in her mind.

"No matter when or where..."

I will respond to your expectations.

"Let's begin..." Reopening her eyes, Yayi looked at Bronya with a firm gaze.

Whether intentional or unintentional, just like when fighting the Herrscher of Corruption, Yayi began to pour all her heart and soul into recalling everything about that pink-haired girl.

"Yayi, now!"

Following Bronya's signal, she not only opened the 【only passage】 for Yayi, but even caused the will of the 7 billion people on Earth to fall into a 2-second stagnation, stopping the operation of the Stigmata Project for an instant.

At this moment, Yayi gripped the 【beacon】 in her hand, its needle spinning wildly at this moment.

"... Aili Xiang."

When Yayi opened her eyes, she discovered that she was currently in a completely unfamiliar world.

She looked down at the compass in her hand again.

This backdoor, which was considered a 【gift】, had been Yayi's highest priority target for some time, and had also faintly ignited a certain greed to 【meet one more time】.

At this time, arriving in this space, the 【beacon】 in her hand finally had a "signal."

"Click, click, click..."

After the needle turned unnaturally a few times, a familiar voice came from it—

And at this very moment, Yayi instead understood how wishful her previous misunderstanding of its 【functionality】 had been—

"Ta-da~"

"Hi~ did you miss me?"

"Uh... let me learn from you too..."

A cute girl's voice came through, but it was Weierwei imitating Aili Xiang's tone.

"... Weierwei," Yayi exhaled deeply.

This was not a response to Weierwei, but a helpless sigh.

Because she knew that Weierwei was not greeting her.

This was... a recording Weierwei left for Aili Xiang.

——

"I'm very sorry, we can only leave you a message in this way... Aili Xiang."

"When you receive this message, we—or rather, the vast majority of people you know, should already be gone."

"However, you shouldn't be too sad, right?"

"... When we reminisce about your departure, we don't always use crying as the only way, right?"

"Ah... although I am indeed rambling on about these things..."

"But you, who have returned to the 【Cocoon】... might not even possess a personality anymore..."

"However... this will not become an obstacle for me doing this."

"I know—not being able to see the changes in the world because of yourself must be your greatest regret."

"And because of this... I borrowed this 【backdoor】 from you, from our successor."

"You, who exist in the Elysian Realm, have already had your wishes fulfilled in some way, so I don't want 【the you on this side】 to be neglected."

"Therefore, through this 【backdoor】, I will synchronize all the successor's memories of the 【world】 with you—"

"【From now on, there will be stars shining, because I have been here now.】"

"【From now on, there will be hundreds of flowers blooming, because I have never left.】"

"—You did it."
