Wow-Wow-
Where is this…?
The girl seemed to be in a dream from which it was difficult to wake up.
Wow-Wow-
It sounded like the sound of water constantly colliding, but it was a little different, as if it was something she had never seen before.
Wow-Wow-
Oh, that’s right.
This is the sea. The legendary sea.
Although she had no chance to touch the “sea” during the years that truly belonged to Xilin, she only learned from countless retellings and texts that it was a lake that had no end and was directly connected to the sky.
After becoming the second Herrscher, there were endless battles. Even if she had been to the back of the moon to gain power, she still had no chance to see the sea.
However, this wish was fulfilled in another way.
When she was in Saint Freya, that idiot seemed to have gone to the beach for vacation. Although she didn’t experience it personally, she also peeked through her senses.
But that’s all-this is what she felt.
The sea is indeed vast, and the water and sky are indeed magical. However, from the perspective of an observer, she was more interested in the barbecue on the beach.
After all, the so-called sea is nothing special.
哗——哗——
The sound of water is still ringing.
If you are not interested in the sea, the sound of the waves is just annoying noise.
哗——哗——
“▆▆……▆▆……”
There seems to be something mixed in the sound of the waves.
“西琳……西琳……”
Ah?
Are you calling… me?
This voice…
“西琳? Are you okay?”
Cecilia’s voice lingered in her ears, and Xilin thought it was her illusion for a while.
But then her consciousness began to piece together her memories.
“I… ah, I remember, it seems that my dad made me that toast pizza before… What’s wrong with me? Did I faint because that thing was too bad?”
Xilin tried to open her eyes, but she seemed to be restrained by some force.
That kind of power… It seemed that there was a voice constantly reminding her not to wake up.
But Xilin’s eyes still opened.
The moment her sight found the light, Xilin also found the correct memory.
Cecilia was dead, Siegfried… had even forgotten her existence, and that short and unhappy dream.
As for the pizza baked with the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire, it was just that Siegfried had baked it for Kiana, so she thought of it first when she fantasized.
In fact, it didn’t belong to her at all.
Fantasy before death… I thought I could be calmer when facing death again.
Her eyes were completely open, and the sunlight that came into her eyes was a little too dazzling, so Xilin quickly squinted her eyes again.
Of course, the dazzling sunlight also brought a different kind of warmth, and the whole body was warm, especially under the wrapping of sand, it was so comfortable that she didn’t want to move at all.
If you don’t want to move, don’t move. If a dead person moves casually, it will scare the living. If I get up again and suddenly appear in front of that idiot Kiana, she will definitely be scared.
“…”
Wait… It seems… not quite right.
“Xilin?” Someone was gently shaking his body beside him, and both the bright sunshine and the sound of waves were too real. Xilin turned over and sat up. She put her palms on her eyebrows, opened her eyes wide, and saw an endless red ocean. As the waves surged, white lines appeared on the red sea water, as if a huge net covered the sponge and kept surging with the sea water. There should be seagulls on the sea surface? But Xilin didn’t see them. The ocean… According to what Kiana learned, it should be the place where all life is nurtured, but this sea is so dead silent, with nothing but the sound of waves that never stops. “Could it be the world after death?” Xilin couldn’t help but curl up her legs, hugged her legs with her arms, and knocked her chin gently on her knees. Everything here is so lifeless, but it is so vivid. I can feel my own existence, but I can hardly feel more life. Even the so-called afterlife doesn’t seem to be like this. Xilin looked at the blood-red tide coming and going, thinking too deeply, and for a moment she was lost in thought, and she actually forgot the most important thing.
“Pa——”
She was hit on the head, and then someone hugged her from behind.
Xilin’s body tensed up in an instant, but when she smelled the scent of the person behind her, incredible and unconcealable excitement appeared on her face at the same time. She didn’t make any sound, but curled up closer, like a kitten, into the arms of the woman behind her.
“It turns out… it turns out that the voice I heard before was not an illusion… it turns out… Cecilia, you have always been…”
“Yes. This is really distressing. I can see everything, but I can’t do anything…”
Cecilia hugged Xilin tightly, and didn’t forget to free up one hand to comb her messy long hair.
“I’m sorry… I seem to have done more stupid things… after that. I almost destroyed the world.”
“But you finally chose a different path from seventeen years ago, didn’t you? Siren, this time, you saved the world.”
“That – that is Kiana’s choice, what does it have to do with me…”
Siren’s eyes wandered aimlessly, and her cheeks quickly puffed up, but she was not angry.
Cecilia chuckled lightly, and then hugged her tighter.
Xilin bit her lower lip, her body gradually relaxed, and she quietly enjoyed this moment of happiness that almost became eternal.
However, it is always hard not to think of more such actions, such as…
Seventeen years ago, when facing the final missile strike, they embraced each other in this posture and welcomed each other’s end.
“Um… Cecilia, have you forgive me…”
“Forgive you for what?”
Siren is down.
It’s not that she didn’t think about Cecilia’s possible answer, but she didn’t think of this.
“Don’t you… hate me? It was me who ruined everything for you. If it weren’t for me, you could continue to live happily with Siegfried, and you could grow up with the real Kiana, and ruined everything. I am the one…”
“But what did you do wrong?”
Feeling the constant warmth of the embrace behind her, Xilin’s tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
“It’s not your fault that you were born with Honkai adaptability. It’s not your fault that you were tricked into the Tower of Babel. It’s not your fault that you chose revenge after being treated like that… In the end, you are just a poor child. Wrong It’s Honkai, and it’s us adults, but you, the child, will bear the consequences of all these mistakes.”
“I…I…but…but that idiot was right. If only I had been more sober and rational at that time, and not implicated the whole world after completing my revenge…”
“There are not so many ifs in this world. If I insist that I am wrong, then I will bear half of the responsibility for the second collapse – I was the only S-class Valkyrie in Destiny at that time. As long as I am willing, I can discover Babylon It’s not impossible to live in a hell like Tower, but I indulged myself in false victory and short-term happiness, and eventually became an accomplice of allowing evil to flourish.”
“…”
“Don’t be so downcast, Siren. The past, no matter how much you regret it, no matter how unwilling to admit it, is already in the past and cannot be changed. It is precisely because the past cannot be changed that the future is precious. And in this situation that was taken place not long ago In the frozen [future], it was your choice that saved Kiana twice, and thus saved the world. Although I don’t like the idea of good and evil balancing, to be honest, you have redeemed yourself with your choice. You’ve made mistakes in the past, right?”
Siren closed her eyes again. She didn’t say “yes” or “no”. But in the silence, his breathing became steady again, as if he was about to fall asleep.
It’s really better to take a nap.
Been awake for too long, too long.
It has been painful for too long, too long.
Although it was unclear what was going on right now, as long as Cecilia was here, she could relax enough to drop all her defenses and just fall asleep in her warm embrace.
However, this wish could not be realized, because another familiar voice sounded in her ears:
“Hey! You two are basking in the sun here! Senior Cecilia, would you like an ice-cold cocktail? I made it myself, I guarantee it tastes good.”
“Ah ah ah ah ah!”
Xilin jumped up and looked at the familiar red-haired aunt next to her with a face full of shock and screamed.
“Why are you here too!!”
“What, don’t you welcome me, Miss Siren?”
“Well……”
The red-haired woman smiled slyly, then held a cocktail in one hand, propped it up on the beach with the other, and sat down next to Cecilia.
“Speaking of which, this is the first time we have met, right? You should know me, right? After all, you and Kiana share the same body… Forget it, let me introduce myself again, the former A-level Valkyrie of the East Branch of Tianming, Wuliangta Jizi is also Kiana Kaslana’s teacher.”
“Of course I know who you are, but why are you here!!”
Siren screamed frantically, and the silky hair that Cecilia had just combed became as messy as a cat with fried hair.
Cecilia first smiled at Jizi, then stood up, pressed Sirin’s shoulders, hugged her again before sitting back on the beach.
Then she looked at Jizi with a smile again and asked:
“So, Teacher Himeko, should you explain it, or should I explain it?”
“Senior Cecilia, you don’t have to call me teacher, right?”
Jizi smiled bitterly and took a sip of her wine. She knew very well that the teacher was shouting from the identity of “Kiana’s mother”, although Cecilia should know very well that that was not her biological daughter.
But no matter what, Jizi felt that this kind of title was weird and she couldn’t bear it.
“Then…just let me do it.”
After a moment of silence, Jizi picked up the topic again.
“To put it simply, the place we are in is the core of the Herrscher.”
“Core? No, isn’t it? I remember that I should have been…dead. Besides, I can still understand in Kiana’s core, Cecilia and you…what is going on?”
“Be patient when listening to the teacher!”
Jizi drank wine leisurely, while Cecilia kept stroking Sirin’s head with a bit of naughty thoughts.
“To put it simply, this is the deepest part of the Herrscher Core. You should have completed the communication with Mei Yi in the Herrscher Core before, and you should understand that all the Herrscher Cores actually point to the same singular point of intersection, and where we are Yes, this is the place.”
“Uh…I can barely understand.”
Xilin held her forehead, feeling a little dizzy. Fortunately, Jizi did not use a bunch of awkward terms, but gave the answer in the simplest and most direct way.
Even so, she still didn’t quite understand——
“But as for the Herrscher Core…am I the only Herrscher here?”
Siren pointed at herself in confusion, and then cautiously glanced at Cecilia behind her with her peripheral vision, fearing that she would expose some [reality] and make this Cecilia, even if it was just an illusion, disappear.
And coincidentally, Cecilia moved her hand away from Sirin’s head at this moment. The latter was frightened by this action and trembled all over. However, at the next moment, Cecilia’s hand moved to Sirin’s cheek. He began to rub her chubby little face.
“Don’t worry Sirin, I have always been here to accompany you in the past, and I will always accompany you in the future. But you are wrong in one thing. Teacher Jizi is also a Herrscher.”
“ha?”
“Senior Cecilia is right.”
Ji Zi spread her left hand, and a ball of flame appeared out of thin air in her palm.
“I don’t know how senior Cecilia appeared here. Before you woke up, we had a brief chat. She had no idea that she could always exist in the core. Of course she can’t be the law. Or, maybe it’s because you hugged each other at the end, or maybe it’s because…she is a [Shaniyat] after all. The blood and stigma behind this surname, since it can give birth to an [Eleanor] , then it’s not surprising that something like this happened.
“As for myself… In fact, the moment I put on the True Red Armor, I realized that I might not be able to complete the combat mission at all. In a very short period of time, the Honkai Energy erosion that I had suffered re-covered my body. , it seems that the previous Honkai energy left a hole in my body. Even if it is emptied, it will be filled again when it is touched again. And the reason why I can fight until the last moment is the connection I suddenly established with the plague gem. , although the synchronization rate was not too high, at the last moment, even though it was only a short moment, I became the Herrscher and successfully preserved my consciousness in the core.
“It’s just that the power of the Disease Gem is destruction. It doesn’t have the ability to reshape the body like the Tranquility Gem and the Herrscher Core. I can only exist in this way.”
“Then…then why didn’t you tell Kiana before? If she knew you were still alive, she would be very…tsk, what does she have to do with me? But, that Bronya, as well as Xi’er and Ai If we go with Lenore, it’s not impossible to re-create a body for you, right?”
“You’re right. It could have been done originally, but now it can’t be done?”
“What?”
“From the moment my consciousness entered the core, I seemed to be unable to leave here. Even if I reshaped my body, it was of no use. I think it was him who took action. Of course, your current situation is the same as mine. Look In his script, we don’t need to appear again in the end.”
“…Is it the end already?”
Siren lowered her eyes and sighed softly.
Crossing 380,000 kilometers of darkness to reach the back of the moon, moving forward firmly in the violent wind and dust, and finally finding the [God] crucified on the cross, the scene of gaining strength from him is still like yesterday.
However, the show is almost drawing to a close.
Somewhat touching.
but……
“But since it’s in the core of the Herrscher, why is it the seaside?”
“This…”
Jizi spoke in a long voice, and then pointed at the figure behind Xilin.
“Because she said you had never seen the sea in person, so the two of us constructed a beach using our memories, but something seemed to have gone wrong, turning the sea red and missing something.”
“But the sun is still as fierce as ever!”
Cecilia, who had been silent for a long time behind her, suddenly spoke, followed by Siren’s exclamation.
“oh!”
Cecilia directly lifted Sirin up by her armpits.
“Come on, Siren, let’s put some sunscreen on you first.”
“I don’t want that kind of thing! Isn’t this place constructed by consciousness? It doesn’t matter if you put on sunscreen or not!”
“Come on! Come on! If you don’t put on sunscreen, you won’t have a sense of belonging…”
“Ahhh, don’t touch there…ahhahahahaha…don’t touch…ahhahaha…”
