Chapter 1516

As the story reached this point, Mei also finally had to face a problem.

Among them, someone must stand up, face the 【Cocoon】, and try to become the 【Artificial Herrscher of Finality】 before the random selection of a Herrscher.

"..."

After a long silence, Bronya spoke first.

"No problem, Herrscher of Sentience, we will do this together."

"Ah?" Senti was a bit confused; what does it mean to do it together?

Before she could ask, Mei explained: "Since Kevin can control the power of Finality, who stipulated that there can only be one person with the 'power of Finality'?"

"As long as our consciousness spaces are connected to each other, it shouldn't matter how many people the Herrscher's authority is concentrated on."

Kiana also nodded with a smile: "If it really needs to be converged on one person, then I will naturally take the responsibility."

"It's just that... we have always been a team—if possible, everyone would naturally hope to complete this major mission together."

The meaning of the trio is very simple.

The three of them intend to bear the authority of 【Finality】 together.

Instead of pressing this weight on Kiana alone.

Of course, this is just an idea; whether it works or not, they have to try.

But this is much better than the initial decision of having one person serve as the 【Herrscher of Finality】.

Then, starting from Mei, to Senti, and then to Bronya.

They connected their consciousness spaces to Kiana's.

In this way, Kiana could be considered to possess the Herrscher authority of 【Origin】, 【Truth】, and 【Sentience】.

Afterwards, it was time to integrate the other Herrscher authorities.

But before they could take any action, the location where they were suddenly changed again.

It was that 【station】 again, the place where Mei obtained the authority of the 【Herrscher of Origin】.

Senti explained that it was very likely because the authority of the 【Herrscher of Origin】 is to 【connect all other Herrscher authorities】, so just now, various Herrscher authorities had gathered from all directions.

And this also means that one of them is likely only one step away from becoming the 【Herrscher of Finality】.

This gave Kiana and the others the feeling... that it was too smooth.

Originally, they thought they would have to locate the Herrscher cores of the past and go through heavy battles to barely gather the authority.

As a result, they didn't expect those Herrscher authorities to gather on their own.

Perhaps, it really is because of the existence of the 【Herrscher of Origin】?

And just as they were discussing, the 【Cocoon】 suddenly made a move.

It seemed that the 【Cocoon】 finally actively chose Kiana, which is why it pulled her into another space.

"... Mei? Bronya?"

"... Herrscher of Sentience?"

No response.

But Kiana didn't panic either.

Because this place seemed to have gathered all the past Herrscher authorities.

Sure enough, the 【Cocoon】 actively chose her.

"Is this... the Herrscher of Corruption?"

"... So that's it, it was once defeated by the Herrscher of Origin..."

"I understand your wish, Herrscher of Corruption, we will prove to you what kind of things are worth existing forever—"

"And can exist forever."

The screen flashed, and the surrounding scenery changed suddenly.

This is...

A sea of flowers.

A scene that the players remember vividly.

This is the place where they fought the Herrscher of Wind, Wendy.

"Wendy... the words you didn't have time to tell Bronya back then, she already knows."

"We all know that you are a gentle and strong girl."

"Everything we are doing now... is precisely because everyone's happiness is far more important than the power of a Herrscher."

The screen flickered again.

This is a snowfield, but magically, it is covered with pure white flowers.

And this time, what Kiana encountered was the authority of the Herrscher of the Void.

Immediately after, Kiana came to "Nagazora City".

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Kiana also felt a bit emotional.

This place is filled with many memories, happy ones, sad ones...

But most importantly, she met Mei here, and met Bronya here.

"After everything is over, let's go back to Nagazora City with them to take a look."

"Perhaps by then... this city will regain its vitality in another form."

Then, Kiana came to the battlefield of the Herrscher of Rimestar.

"This is the story that Mei and her sister... witnessed, right?"

"People toyed with by fate... please rest in peace."

"Even if tragedy is inevitable, we will strive to resist, and keep resisting."

Then, Kiana came to Mount Taixu.

"After experiencing so many things... the Herrscher of Sentience, she is also our partner now."

"That question you were always struggling with in the past... there's no need to look for an answer anymore, right?"

"You are not Immortal Fu Hua..."

"Because, you don't need to become Immortal Fu Hua."

A white light flashed.

This time, Kiana came to the 【Theater of Domination】.

But the screen was no longer in game mode, but turned into an animated short film.

Under the dim light, countless puppet remains and messy intersecting threads were illuminated.

She stepped up the stairs step by step and came to the middle of the theater; inserted in front of her was a bright red giant sword.

The players recognized it at a glance; that was the weapon Himeko once used—the Godslayer Sword.

Kiana was not sad.

She took out her own "Kingslayer Sword", and the raging flames burning within it illuminated this dim and dead theater.

Finally, she left her sword next to the Godslayer Sword and turned to walk away.

This movie-like animated short film made this scene look incredibly shocking.

——I leave this Kingslayer behind, hoping it becomes a beacon for those who come after.

The chat was filled with tears.

But the video pacing was fast, not giving them too much time to be moved.

The screen changed, and Kiana came to a church.

This is the place where Otto's curtain fell.

It is also the place where Otto became a god.

"The current you is already a flame capable of illuminating others..."

"Those past events that seemed difficult to bear... will only become your strength."
