The black mist covering the theater kept rolling. It was the Honkai energy consciousness that had transformed into Lu Hua Jue, melting like fresh snow in the dim light of the sword.
In the space of consciousness, Su Jue, who had been waiting for a long time, placed the last chess piece.
The moment it touched the chessboard, the chess piece turned golden, like a sharp sword.
In an instant, the chess game that had been suppressed by the will of Honkai was like a warrior in despair who found his weapon and found a turning point in the desperate situation.
Life and death are reversed, and consciousness returns to the abyss.
Kiana's Taixu Sword God alone is not enough to shake the will of Honkai, but with Su Jue's real body, as long as there is a weapon, the ending is already determined.
A branch of a tree emerged from the golden sword, like a germ from the soil. The Taixu Sword God that pierced into the consciousness space was like a seed, which quickly sprouted and grew under Su Jue's stimulation.
Countless silk threads divided the world. The golden branches on the chessboard grew taller and taller. The golden trees flowed with the light of life, covering the world.
Su Jue's chess pieces on the chessboard came together and the spider-web-like puzzle was finally completed.
After a long time, the God of Honkai still did not make a move.
He put down the chess piece, nodded slightly towards Su Jue, and in the collapse of the consciousness space, he and the fragments turned into countless points of light and disappeared.
From then on, the control of the will of collapse over Su Jue has completely ended. He will transcend collapse and move towards his ultimate goal.
As the will of Honkai disappeared, the entire golden tree suddenly began to burn. The flames burned the empty space and burned the world together.
In the real imaginary space, burning flames emerged from Su Jue's body and spread to the roots entangled with him. This is the origin of the world's annihilation and the end of everything.
The tree of imaginary numbers.
The flames burned the roots that were blocking Su Jue, allowing him to continue moving forward.
In this endless red sand, Su Jue leaned over slightly and used his hand to brush away the treasure buried by the red sand.
A pink [crystal flower].
This is the guidance to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, and it is also the key to reaching the Tree of Imaginary Numbers that Su Jue has been looking for.
The answer that the Origin Ruler left for future generations.
Putting the crystal flower in his arms, the burning flame was extinguished.
In the last second before the flame went out, Su Jue stopped and said goodbye gently to the distance.
"You are my greatest weapon, Kiana."
Chapter 237: Eternal Flame
The golden light that penetrated the sky slowly dissipated, and the gloomy sky was covered by dark clouds again, but this time there was no icy storm or roaring thunder.
The sky, after being evaporated and cooled by the high temperature, seemed to be crying, and the rain fell in drops.
The frozen ice gradually melted, and the sea, which should have been turbulent, seemed to feel the girl's sadness and became extremely quiet.
Blood flowed along the hilt of the Skyfire, soaking Kiana's hand holding the sword. When the Taixu Sword God killed the Honkai consciousness that dominated Su Jue, the vast Skyfire also completely sank into Su Jue's body.
The flaming giant sword in the boy's hand quietly dissipated, and his arm fell weakly, but there was a relieved smile on his face.
"Well done, Kiana."
Kiana stared at Su Jue who was pierced by the sword in a daze. Although the Sword God of Taixu was powerful, she could not easily withstand the full force attack of the Herrscher of Flame. In the final duel, when the sword fell on her, Kiana clearly felt the flames deflected.
"Why?" Her voice trembled. When she noticed the huge flaming sword deflected, Kiana realized that Su Jue had awakened. She held back, and the skyfire should have also staggered, but Su Jue took the initiative to send himself under Kiana's sword.
"I'm sorry, I lied to you." Blood kept oozing out from the corner of his mouth. Su Jue couldn't help coughing and pressed his hands on his chest.
A faint light lit up, and the plague gem that maintained his body popped out from his chest, but the gem that should have been hot was now extremely dim.
The core of the gem is already covered with cracks, as if it will break at any time.
"It's so beautiful." Looking at the gorgeous gem, Su Jue's eyes were filled with regret.
Before everything started, Su Jue had told Kiana that as long as she could keep her consciousness in the Herrscher core, she would have hope of survival. It was for this reason that Kiana realized that she could preserve Su Jue's consciousness from the core through Yu Duchen's zero rated power.
But when she heard Su Jue's regretful voice, she finally realized that the situation seemed different from what she expected.
She grabbed Su Jue's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. She kept shaking her head, not wanting him to continue talking.
"Yu Duchen, and Yu Duchen can..."
However, Su Jue just looked at her, reached out to touch her cheek, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"That's enough. Let's stop here. I... am not a Herrscher at all. The Herrscher Core cannot preserve my consciousness."
Thunder suddenly sounded in the gloomy sky, and silver lightning illuminated Kiana's profile, making her face look extremely pale.
"When the disaster happened, everyone died in front of me. The sky was much darker than it is now." The memory went back to the beginning. At that time, Su Jue was just in a small city. He could no longer remember what it looked like. He only remembered that there were corpses everywhere.
Mountains of bones, lakes of blood, rampaging monsters, and the wails before death.
"Everything ended that day, and my life ended that night. But as I prepared to face my own death, a strange light appeared from my body."
Seeing the light, Kiana immediately thought of the information that Otto had told her before. She knew that it was the power of the holy mark on Su Jue's body.
"Yes, the stigmata. At the end of my life, I awakened the stigmata. The stigmata opened up the space in front of me, and a woman in broken armor fell out. Later I found out that she was your teacher."
"Murata Himeko." Hearing this name, Kiana's body shook, and the scene that had woken her up countless times in her dreams emerged from the depths of her mind.
"Is she...dead?" Her lips trembled slightly.
"I don't know." Su Jue said, and then he was silent for a moment. He closed his eyes in pain when the cracks on the Plague Gem became more and more. "I touched the gem on her armor, and the Plague Gem absorbed the Honkai energy that was corroding me. Under the effect of my stigmata, I was able to maintain my life, and from then on, I became the carrier of the Herrscher of Flame.
But I know very well that I am not a true Herrscher, just a thief who stole power. I want to live, I just want to live...
After becoming a Herrscher, I lost consciousness, so I don’t know what happened to her.”
"sorry."
His breath was getting weaker and weaker. Without the protection of the Herrscher Core, the backlash from the Mark of Kindred was rapidly stripping away his life.
"I will heal you. I will save you." A faint white light shone from Kiana's hand. That was the healing power of the Serenity Gem. However, after these healing lights fell into Su Jue's body, not only did they have no effect, but they accelerated the collapse of his body.
The girl froze in place, tears falling. The Serenity Gem could heal any serious injury, and even a person who had just died could maintain their last breath in the power of the living. But for Su Jue, everything was back to the way it was at the beginning.
He is just one of the countless living beings, an ordinary person. The collapse energy will only intensify the erosion for him.
"His lifespan has reached its limit. It's useless." The man's voice came. Kevin had broken free from the predicament and came to where the two were.
But Kiana didn't listen at all. Void Wanzang turned into a golden fluid and attached to Su Jue to stop his bleeding. Kiana clenched the feather Fu Hua left for her with her blood-stained hands, trying to forcibly activate the power of the Key of God.
But what made her despair was that even Yu Duchen could not capture Su Jue's consciousness. His soul was vague, as if it was very far away.
She tried her best, but in the end it was in vain.
"It's okay, it's over now." She wanted to continue trying, but Su Jue took the initiative to hug her. This was the first time he hugged Kiana, and also the last time.
His embrace was so warm that in a trance, Kiana seemed to have returned to Sky City, the darkest but also the warmest time.
The cracked Plague Gem shattered silently. The death of the Herrscher should have triggered a world-destroying fire, but at this moment there was only a small flickering flame.
Even if there is heavy rain in the sky, the flame will not be affected at all. No matter how dark the world is, it will burn forever.
After the flames appeared, Su Jue's body seemed to be ignited by the flames and began to burn.
"No!" Grabbing Su Jue's body in horror, Kiana wanted to stop the flames, but these flames were just the manifestation of some kind of energy, how could they be extinguished?
Use your body as a tree to nourish all things.
Use yourself as firewood to illuminate the world.
Su Jue used himself as firewood to ignite the road called firewood.
"This is my last gift to you." Ignited by the flames, Su Jue did not feel any pain at all. He held Kiana's hand holding Yu Duchen and used his last bit of strength to activate the power of the Key of God.
"Yu Duchen's zero rated power, released."
In an instant, Yu Duchen, who had no reaction to Su Jue, suddenly lit up. At the same time, Su Jue's burning body flashed the same light.
An identical feather emerged from it and merged with the one in Kiana's hand.
Fu Hua, which should have dissipated, actually gathered again in the burning flames and continued to sleep under Yu Duchen's protection.
The burning firewood brings not only destruction, but also rebirth.
But Su Jue couldn’t see it.
"Goodbye, Kiana."
Under Su Jue's loving gaze, his body completely burned up.
The sky fell into darkness again, with only a small flame and Yu Duchen emitting a faint light.
The girl wanted to cry, but found that even her tears had dried up. She held the small flame in her hands, silent.
Chapter 238 Destiny and Anti-Entropy after the Incident
A golden meteor streaked across the sky, and its brief light illuminated the ruins of Changkong City. The girl looked up at the sky, and an imperceptible look of relaxation flashed in her calm blue eyes.
"Your Excellency the Bishop, I think I should be on the battlefield." There was a rustling sound of broken ice under her feet. Bianca loosened her grip on the lance slightly and spoke calmly.
But it was obvious that as a warrior, she was unable to take part in the battle when facing a disaster for all mankind, which made her feel a little dissatisfied.
Feeling the girl's emotions, Otto chuckled, "Bianca, I'm glad that you have learned to express your emotions, but this time the stage should be left to that child."
"Stage? Why? If I had joined the battle, maybe he wouldn't have died."
Walking among the rubble, the girl lowered her eyes slightly. She stopped and leaned over to lift a piece of slate at her feet. Under the slate were many pieces of jewelry and half a thick novel. Thanks to the protection of the slate, the novel was not seriously damaged.
Bianca flipped open the book and found the place she had last read. She sighed slightly. "I didn't have time to tell him that he didn't have to pay for the novel."
"Bianca, do you find death scary?"
"No, if I die on the battlefield, and if my death can protect more people, then I will gladly die."
At the headquarters of the Destiny, Otto stood by the window, looking at the busy people outside, and sighed: "Yes, whether it is the ignorant civilians or the Valkyries protecting the world, everyone is living for a certain goal. It is an honor to die in pursuit of your own beliefs. The same is true for him."
"Kiana Kaslana, this is his belief. Using his own sacrifice to help her grow, this is the performance he prepared for himself. Give him a grand ending, this is the condition he put forward to us."
Bianca remained silent. She didn't know the specific content of the deal between Otto and Su Jue, but if someone asked her to abandon her friends and civilians on the battlefield, she would never accept it.
She suddenly remembered that Rita once invited her to see a ballet, but there was no one at the venue. Just when she was a little confused, Rita walked onto the stage and performed a dance she had carefully choreographed for her alone.
In the huge theater, there was only one dancer and one audience member.
Although she now recalled that Rita's dancing movements on the fourth and eighth beats were somewhat disjointed, she still felt the desire to perform for someone alone.
“Is this what the stage means?” the girl murmured in a low voice, putting the half-read novel back to its place.
"Okay Bianca, get ready to retrieve the Second God Key. There's still a lot of work to do. Rita is still waiting for support in the Far East."
"Yes." Bianca put away all her messy thoughts and immediately got to work. The missing Thousand Worlds One Vehicle had appeared, and her goal was to retrieve it.
After assigning the task to Bianca, Otto fell into a long silence. His fingers unconsciously stroked his cross, and there was a rare accumulation of pain and confusion in his eyes.
Su Jue’s performance has ended, but as an audience, it is easy to see others clearly, but it is difficult to see yourself clearly.
"Karen..."
During these 500 years, Otto's longing for Kallen has supported him until today. From the initial love to the twisted obsession now, he can no longer tell whether he is really doing it just for Kallen.
She was a noble saint, but in the past five hundred years, she had already been stained with filth. Otto knew very well that the goal of resurrecting Kallen was probably an excuse for him, but he had no way out.
All Otto was looking for was an answer.
After a long time, the confused look disappeared from Otto's eyes. Just like waking up from a dream, the wise and resourceful Bishop of Destiny returned again. With a mocking smile on his face, he whispered to himself, "It seems that these five hundred years are not as clear as the few months of my youth. He was right. The being called Otto is just a poor creature who is deeply trapped in himself."
The 500 years were nothing but the punishment bestowed by God on this poor man, leaving him in prison, where he suffered inner torment every moment.
This kind of painful time may be very long, but Su Jue Su Jue's initial redemption and final ending brought a new direction for Otto.
Self-redemption of the savior of evil.
But before that, destiny still needs to continue, and there is still a lot of work left for Otto. Only when everything is over can he unload the burden and embark on the final journey of the seeker alone.
Leaving his office, Otto walked towards the research institute.
There are many problems exposed by Tianming this time. The biggest problem is the scarcity of high-end combat power. Although Yulandel is very strong, it is difficult for her to take care of everything. Therefore, it is imperative to activate new combat power.
Entering the core research institute of Destiny, Otto used his identity and authority to unlock the bottom layer of defense. In the dark basement, there were only the flickering lights of the instruments and the sound of bubbles.
pat.
The lights were turned on, and two of the most advanced medical machines were exposed under the light. In the hibernation chamber filled with nutrient solution, two girls were sleeping peacefully.
After looking at the gray-haired girl's medical records and seeing that there was still no sign of conscious activity, Otto sighed and walked to the outside of the other girl's cabin with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
