Unfortunately, Kiana, who was dizzy, did not see the flying threads in the sky. When she came to her senses, she saw only countless pieces of flaming gravel falling like sparks.
"Xinyan? Did you protect me?"
The small flame stayed quietly in front of the girl as always. Although it was a little dim, it still conveyed its warmth to Kiana's heart.
The Fire Flame is the power of the inherited concept of [Eternal Burning] that Su Jue forcibly crushed the Plague Gem and stripped away the extreme destructive power of the Flame Law. As long as Su Jue or Kiana exists, the flame will never go out.
However, as the core of the Herrscher, its own Honkai energy is always limited, and it consumes a lot of energy to maintain Kiana in battle for such a long time, so it is difficult to provide effective help.
Therefore, Su Jue's action did not change the situation, but only prevented Kiana from falling into crisis. Facing the will of Honkai, the girl's power to resist was still limited.
However, this was still within Su Jue's calculations. Just when Xinglu's attack failed and he was about to launch a second attack, an extremely cold storm suddenly howled from a distance.
The blizzard that was originally cleared by the Star Law once again covered the sky, and the condensed white frost spread all the way from the sea surface, dyeing the earth pale. The condensed frost pierced through the ruins and rocks, and pointed fiercely at the Star Law in the sky.
In the blizzard, ice crystals and chains surrounded the girl and walked out of the darkness with her.
Seeing Anna slowly walking out of the frost, Chen Tianwu, who was floating in the sky, narrowed his eyes sharply. Even though he was completely eroded by the will of Honkai at this moment, he still struggled desperately.
Anna Shaniyat, this is the special method that Su Jue uses to deal with the Honkai Will.
After sealing Anna in a birdcage, Su Jue did not choose to seize the core. Instead, he treated her and used his own authority to temporarily remove the influence of the Herrscher's consciousness on her.
Su Jue, who personally gave birth to the Star Law, knew very well that no matter whether he intervened or not, Chen Tianwu could not escape the control of the Honkai will. He had no good feelings towards Chen Tianwu, but only used him as a means of bargaining with Honkai. The other party's feelings for Anna were undoubtedly the best bargaining chip for a comeback.
Know yourself and control your emotions, this is what a Ruler should be like.
Of course, this feeling is not just Su Jue’s own feeling, but also the feelings between other people, which are also the target of the entanglement of the silk thread.
The Will of Honkai created the weapon Star Law, and Su Jue responded with Anna as a weapon.
Half an hour ago, Chen Tianwu, as an ordinary person, stood on the ground and confronted the Ice Law floating in the air that was eroded by the collapse, but now the situation has completely reversed.
Chen Tianwu, who was controlled by the will of Honkai, stood in the sky as the Star Law, while Anna, who should have been eroded, stood soberly on the ground.
Su Jue cut off the control of Bing Lu's consciousness and told Anna all the causes and effects. He did not force her to fight Chen Tianwu, but after regaining her freedom, Anna took the initiative to face Chen Tianwu, the Herrscher.
"This is my responsibility as a Valkyrie." This was her answer to Su Jue.
Moreover, he still owed Chen Tianwu an answer that he was unable to express two years ago.
This is Anna's answer to herself.
……
However, no matter how Chen Tianwu resisted, the will of Honkai had already completely invaded his body. Even if he would rather choose death, he could not avoid a head-on battle with Anna.
Condensed from ice and frost, melted in the cracks of rocks.
This is the inevitable fate of Anna and Chen Tianwu.
With the support of Honkai Will and Su Jue, the combat power of Star Law and Ice Law far exceeds that of ordinary Herrschers. In just a few minutes, the entire coral island was completely reduced to a battlefield between Herrschers.
And unlike the battle where Kiana was cautious, Anna and Chen Tianwu both fought with all their strength, not only wanting to defeat each other, but more importantly, wanting to die at the hands of each other.
Anna's escape made Chen Tianwu lose the opportunity to redeem his sister, which was her sin. Chen Tianwu killed Anna with his own hands, which was also the despair in his heart.
They hated each other and felt guilty towards each other.
Perhaps fighting is the only answer they can give to each other.
……
The battlefield was handed over to the two Herrschers, and Kiana, who was free, finally had a chance to rest.
Although she still wanted to join the battle, Su Jue would definitely not let her continue to overdraw and weaken Xin Yan's power.
Without Xinyan's support, Kiana knew that if she joined the battle now, she would only be a hindrance, so she just fell back to the ground obediently.
In the frost-covered snow, the girl looked up at the gray sky, and some vague memories in her mind gradually became clear.
324
The sky roared with the collision of ice and stars. The snowflakes that came with the blizzard seemed to be frightened and fell like leaves from the treetops.
The snow quickly covered the broken ground and fell on the girl's shoulders. Kiana subconsciously stretched out her hand and caught a snowflake.
The extremely cold ice felt cool to the touch, giving her a familiar feeling.
Blurred memories flashed through Kiana's mind from time to time, like a broken old TV. She closed her eyes and silently felt these memories shrouded in thick fog.
The girl fell into memories, and the Fire Flame obediently restrained its flame and merged into Kiana's body.
Fire Flame is the power that Su Jue obtained by fusing the Plague Gem with the authority of the Thousand Laws. The humanity of the Thousand People weakened the extreme destructiveness of the Fire Law, and the heat of the Fire Law purified the evil thoughts in the Thousand Laws. In Su Jue's hands, it was transformed into an inherited authority tailored for Kiana.
The Fire Flame, which was formed by the fusion of almost two Herrscher powers, could not be contained by ordinary Herrschers at all. Apart from Su Jue, the creator, the only one who could possess it was Kiana. However, even Kiana had to go through so many battles before she gradually adapted to this power.
Adapting to the fire flame also means the girl's growth. Both her own strength and adaptability to Honkai energy are increasing rapidly. Because of this, the memory that had to be stripped away in the illusion finally began to loosen.
The ice crystals of frozen memories are gradually being melted by the flames of firewood.
But it was only temporarily loosened, and the chaotic memory fragments would soon disappear, and it would even be difficult to tell whether it was an illusion or not. Kiana opened her eyes, feeling a little lost.
But she quickly sorted out her thoughts. Although her memory was a little fuzzy, the agreement she made with Su Jue would not disappear. Even if she could not see the past clearly for the time being, she always believed that she would meet him again one day.
And this moment will come soon.
Just as she was thinking this, suddenly, Kiana noticed a familiar gaze falling on her.
She turned around and saw only a slightly swaying tree a few hundred meters away.
However, with her eyesight, she could see the fresh footprints left under the tree at a glance. They were not covered by the blizzard, so it was obvious that her perception just now was not an illusion.
Kiana smiled as an image of a young man waving gently at her appeared in her mind.
"Closer." She murmured softly.
Coming all the way from Sky City, Kiana naturally did not come to the Coral Island blindly, but had been following the traces left by Su Jue during her journey along the way.
These marks were not noticeable, but she could still easily detect them. They were obviously prepared for her. Only Su Jue could do this.
In other words, they were actually traveling together. However, due to unknown reasons, Su Jue was unable to meet her.
Kiana was a little confused at first, but she soon understood Su Jue. She knew that he must have his reasons for doing this.
Su Jue was not hiding from himself, but protecting himself.
As Kiana's own strength grows stronger, the distance between these traces is getting closer and closer, which means that the threat posed by Su Jue is gradually decreasing.
"No matter what, as long as I am strong enough, you will have no reason to hide from me anymore, Su Jue."
……
Su Jue, who had just left the scene, paused and looked back at Kiana's position. For some reason, he suddenly felt that his life might not be easy after meeting Kiana in the future.
Of course, now is not the time to think about these things. The threat of the Honkai Will is still the primary goal at the moment.
As a Herrscher, Su Jue's own Honkai energy reserves are definitely not as good as the Honkai Will, but the puppet's amplification can make up for the gap.
In order to fight against the God of Honkai, Su Jue specially gave a Thousand Law Core to Anna, so that he could use the Herrscher Core to amplify Anna. Otherwise, relying solely on the incomplete Ice Law would definitely not be able to deal with the complete Star Law.
Even so, Su Jue could not completely guarantee that he could erase the influence of the will of collapse. After all, the Herrscher of the Rock of the previous civilization had a record of destroying an entire continent. If the will of collapse was really unreasonable and forcibly controlled Chen Tianwu to replicate the previous civilization, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, the development of things is still within Su Jue's plan. The biggest difference between Xinglu and the previous civilization lies in human emotions. Chen Tianwu's obsession with Anna is his biggest weakness. As long as this exists, the will of collapse will not be able to assimilate Xinglu in a short time.
Next, it depends on whether Anna is aware and really fights for humanity.
……
boom.
The broken ice crystals passed through Anna's white hair like bullets. At this time, the black mask covered with ice had collapsed, revealing the girl's pretty face.
They once saved each other in despair, and their affection sprouted in the disaster, but now they stand on opposite sides of the battlefield, prepared to kill each other, and also die at the hands of the other.
The reason for all this is the cause and effect that was escaped in the first place.
Anna stared at Chen Tianwu in the form of Xinglu with her light pink eyes, her expression complicated.
Being a Valkyrie is an honor, but also a responsibility. After becoming a Valkyrie, Anna realized the meaning behind this title. She felt panic, realized her inner fragility, and chose to escape.
Now, she has become a Herrscher and stands against humanity. She thought she would repeat the same mistakes, but what she saw was Kiana's firm belief.
It's like a mirror, reflecting the most vulnerable areas in one's heart.
Kiana did what Anna failed to do, making up for Anna's regret as a Valkyrie. Therefore, she no longer chose to escape, but took the initiative to accept her sins.
And her sin was Chen Tianwu.
Anna could not erase the regret of not being able to save Chen Tianwen. It also indirectly led to Chen Tianwu's transformation into a Herrscher, which she owed him.
She must redeem all of this while she is still human.
Therefore, she chose to trade with Su Jue in exchange for a brief period of freedom and power.
"Chen Tianwu, let's end it."
The girl's sigh drifted away, and the ice crystals suspended around seemed to be paused, suddenly stagnating in the air. Invisible threads spread from Qianlu's core, providing Anna with a massive increase in power.
The power of the Ice Law is to freeze the thermal motion of molecules, which manifests as absolute low temperature. This power has been demonstrated on Kevin before, and even space can be frozen due to the stagnation of molecules.
Click, click, click.
The air above the coral island began to condense, the space made a fragile sound, and the absolute low temperature spread rapidly, trapping Xinglu and Anna in the space.
After the amplification, Anna was far more powerful than the Herrscher herself, and a full-strength attack with such strength had already exceeded the limit that the space could bear.
boom.
The blinding light poured into the sky, almost piercing through the planet's atmosphere. The frozen space cage shattered, quickly forming a collapsed singularity. The surrounding air rushed into the hole at a rapid speed, filling it up.
Broken ice crystals and rocks fell like drizzle, and the blizzard covering the coral island completely dissipated in the power collision.
The long-lost sunshine returned to the Coral Island, shining on the two figures falling from the sky.
325 True love is letting each other go
With the end of the snowstorm, it was like a coral island swaying in the sea finally returning to peace, but the galactic ladder that originally led to the universe had been broken by the Herrscher of the Stars and fell into the vast ocean.
The thousand-meter-high Galaxy Staircase collapsed into countless pieces, floating and falling along with ice crystals and rubble. In the ruins of the building, Anna and Chen Tianwu were finally able to get close to each other.
The full force attack of the two special Herrschers was enough to destroy the surface of the earth, but from the moment she was awakened, Anna actually had no intention of living. She used her last bit of faith to isolate all the aftershocks of the attack and deflected them into space, completing her mission as a Valkyrie that she had not been able to complete.
Such a transcendent impact has exceeded the control of the Honkai will over the Herrscher, allowing Chen Tianwu and Anna to break free from the shackles of Honkai and return to their true selves.
Although the price of breaking free is unbearable for normal people.
But at least it shows that Su Jue's guess is not wrong. The will of Honkai is not omnipotent. As long as one's own will and external power are sufficient, one can escape the fate of the Herrscher.
Just like when Kiana cut off the thread of his fate, Chen Tianwu and Anna finally met their own endings.
The fall distance was not very high, more than 1000 meters high, leaving less than 20 seconds for each other. But for the two, these short seconds felt longer than the hasty farewell two years ago.
The separation was long enough for the two of them to be close to each other, long enough for the conversation that had not been finished for two years to continue, and long enough for each of them to calm down and glimpse their own selves.
Two lonely snowflakes were able to fall from the dark clouds. They touched each other and then separated.
The originally complete snowflakes were swept into the storm, becoming broken into pieces, until they were about to melt, and finally met again. The broken gaps fit together, hugging each other tightly.
"Anna."
After regaining consciousness, Chen Tianwu gently stroked the girl's cheek with his only remaining arm and gently touched her with his forehead. The will of collapse constructed the truth of two years ago for Chen Tianwu, which gave birth to the birth of the perfect star law.
In fact, when Chen Tianwu killed Anna with his own hands, the question that had been pursued for two years had already been answered.
The feelings born from destruction are not love, but the redemption of humanity. Chen Tianwu mistakenly judged it as emotion, which not only bound Anna, but also bound himself.
What he pursued was never just Anna, but self-awareness and redemption.
To put it in more emotional terms, a being named Chen Tianwu was trapped in the collapse two years ago.
He thought he had escaped the disaster, but in fact, everything he had was destroyed at the moment of collapse. Chen Tianwu lost everything until he was saved by Anna.
Chen Tianwu regards this rescue as the motivation to live, and his obsession with Anna also becomes the meaning of the existence of the name Chen Tianwu.
"sorry."
A drowning person will instinctively grab the people around him, and eventually drag the person who saved him into the deep sea bit by bit. Su Jue gave Chen Tianwu the freedom to choose, until he killed his own hope with his own hands, and then he saw the darkness hidden in his heart.
Chen Tianwu did find the answer he was looking for.
Chen Tianwu's inner conflict is intertwined with his hatred for Anna abandoning him and his desire for her to save him. Therefore, his obsession with Anna is both a way of repaying her kindness and revenge.
Fortunately, Su Jue gave him a chance to kill Anna to avenge her, allowing him to give up everything and show his true heart to Anna in the end.
