Chapter 688

Some creatures of the Sea of Quanta lurking in the dark, those with intelligence, had also long since hidden away.

"Kiana... wait for me!"

Honkai world.

Tianqiong City.

Ever since Himeko's incident, Kiana had been drifting here, becoming the so-called Tianqiong Ranger.

She rarely smiled now.

She hadn't seen Mei, Bronya, or Theresa for a long time.

She knew everyone was looking for her, and how could Kiana not want to go back?

But whenever she thought of Himeko's encouraging smile at the very last moment, Kiana didn't know how to face everyone.

She had already lost Himeko; she couldn't lose anyone else.

She was the Herrscher of the Void; her existence was a danger.

She wouldn't bring this danger to Mei and the others.

Kiana had always felt that she was the culprit who caused Himeko's death.

The only thing that could make her feel a little better was to clear Honkai day after day; only then could she feel that Himeko was still by her side.

Watching her fulfill the promise they both made.

But today, Kiana learned a piece of news that shocked her.

World Serpent had planted a bomb in Tianqiong City for Honkai experiments, or rather, the Honkai reactor of the EOS transport ship.

The bomb had already been activated; if it exploded, the entire Tianqiong City would cease to exist.

This meant that millions, perhaps even tens of millions, of humans in Tianqiong City would die.

Those who luckily survived the ravages of Honkai energy were the ones World Serpent deemed to have high enough Honkai adaptability.

At that time...

The Stigmata Project would be fully launched.

This information was obtained by Kiana from Jackal and Raven, whom she defeated after cooperating with Rita.

Right now...

The bomb had already been activated.

Kiana shuttled across the high-rises of Tianqiong City, like a knight in the dark night.

Under her hood, Kiana's expression was full of urgency and anger.

The situation was urgent; Kiana could no longer care about concealing her tracks and was seen clearly by the citizens on the ground.

Before long, Kiana stopped on a high-rise, looking at the Titan mechs de-cloaking all around.

She let out a cold snort.

"Are you here..."

425. Himeko: Bullying my student? Do you think I'm dead?!

Taking a deep breath, she unzipped her jacket and took it off, revealing the armor known as White Comet, and slowly reached out her hand.

From the Imaginary Space, a baseball bat floated out and fell into her hand.

"I don't have time to keep you company here!"

Kiana leaped, instantly crossing the gap between the high-rises, swung her baseball bat, and easily knocked away the incoming missiles.

But more missiles followed.

Kiana didn't change her expression, leaped up, nimbly vaulted over the encirclement of many missiles, and after landing, dismantled these mechs in a few quick moves.

She was no longer the B-rank Valkyrie who was helpless against a single Titan mech.

But more mechs were surrounding her, and Kiana didn't intend to fight these mechs head-on.

She was in a hurry.

If she couldn't defuse the big bomb buried in Tianqiong City as soon as possible, the entire city would be reduced to ashes.

Amidst the fire of the explosion, Kiana truly realized the vow that a real woman never looks back at an explosion.

She charged forward, and no matter how many attacks there were, she dodged them easily as if she had eyes in the back of her head.

But just as Kiana was rushing faster and faster, suddenly, a much larger mech appeared on a platform in the distance.

The mech opened fire at Kiana without a word, but all were blocked by Kiana with her baseball bat. The next moment, she threw the baseball bat hard, breaking one of the mech's arms.

Kiana took the opportunity to land on the platform. This mech was different from the others; if she couldn't solve this big guy, she wouldn't be able to move forward.

Decisively, Kiana kicked out, but that cat-like kick, which had never failed, was blocked by the mech, and Kiana was sent flying instead.

The Titan mech seized the opportunity, pressed forward, and raised its fist to smash down at Kiana.

Just as Kiana was about to fall under the Titan mech's fist, she suddenly activated the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

A purple space barrier appeared, blocking the Titan mech's fist.

And on the other end, a space wormhole appeared, knocking the Titan mech down from high altitude.

Kiana leaned out to take a look, and her pupils shrank instantly.

The Titan mech falling toward the earth sprayed many missiles at her from its back.

Kiana's gaze froze, and the entire space was completely solidified in an instant.

She leaped up, repeatedly stepping on the missiles to jump, and flew out of the missile coverage area.

The next moment, the sky-shaking fire of the explosion lit up the night sky, but Kiana had already escaped like an Assassin's Creed character.

The fragments of the mech behind her were scattered all over the ground, but Kiana still didn't look back, looking at the distance where the thick Honkai energy was emanating.

It had even dotted the space into a deep purple.

Kiana looked at the terrifying Honkai energy with some palpitations.

But she still walked forward quickly without stopping.

"It's here, must defuse the bomb quickly!"

But just as Kiana approached within ten meters of the bomb, the bomb lit up strangely.

That surging Honkai energy swept toward Kiana like a gale, causing her forward pace to stall for a moment.

"Such strong... Honkai energy!"

Kiana struggled against the Honkai energy and walked forward.

She slowly reached out her hand, grabbing toward the bomb.

But the Honkai energy became more surging, and even Kiana, who had activated part of the Herrscher of the Void's authority, was pushed backward.

It was as if the Honkai energy had fiercely pulled her hand away.

Kiana let out a cry of pain, ignoring that her arm had already been eroded by the Honkai energy, appearing with hideous purple cracks.

Step by step, although she walked slowly, Kiana's pace was incomparably firm.

Finally, Kiana successfully stood in front of the bomb and grabbed this huge Honkai reactor.

In an instant, the massive Honkai energy completely awakened the Herrscher of the Void authority within Kiana.

The pain in her body was no longer the most painful thing for Kiana.

The Herrscher of the Void authority that killed Himeko and the desire for destruction in her mind were the things that made Kiana suffer.

Her only remaining weak determination firmly resisted the will to give up.

Just as Kiana was hesitant and the arm holding the Honkai reactor was completely corroding.

In the dark, Kiana seemed to hear a familiar and gentle voice calling her.

"Kiana..."

In an instant, all pain disappeared without a trace, and Kiana stared with wide eyes.

Perhaps it was her own fantasy; she saw Himeko as she used to be when teaching her to fight.

She gently placed her hand on hers, supporting her crumbling body.

"Himeko... Teacher..."

Golden pupils instantly overflowed with some tears.

Kiana turned her head, looking at Himeko's gentle smile as always.

Himeko didn't speak, just turned her head and looked at her gently and full of trust.

Kiana's pupils trembled, and she closed her eyes tightly.

"Yes... I promised you!" ===== CHAPTER 689 =====
