“Well, it’s like I had a very long dream. It was so clear in the dream, but I couldn’t remember it clearly when I woke up.” Kiana looked at the familiar layout in the wooden house, a beautiful arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a faint smile appeared.

She turned her head and looked into Su Jue’s eyes. “But I remember there was a self-righteous fool who was finally tricked by me and made a vow that he would never break.”

Was this really a vow made because he was deceived?

Su Jue did not speak. His light grey eyes stared into the girl’s lake blue eyes. The cottage suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of burning fireworks.

“You…why are you looking at me like that?” Finally, Kiana couldn’t stand this strange atmosphere. Her earlobe turned bright red and she turned her face away.

“Nothing, I just feel a little weird because I’ve never looked you in the face like this before.”

He was right. Whether in Tianqiong City or in Changkong City later, Su Jue played more of a role as a behind-the-scenes person, and he was basically watching Kiana’s back.

“Okay.” The girl turned around and said softly, “There will be plenty of time in the future. Lots and lots of time.”

“Ah.”

Being in the space-time rift, everything that happened here would not affect the outside world, and due to the effect of the space-time rift, the flow of time here would be much slower than that of the outside world. Therefore, the two did not rush to fight with the Ice Herrscher, but took a break to recover their strength.

Kiana’s Honkai energy and physical exhaustion are very serious, and she needs a long time to rest. Even if she relies on the treatment equipment of Destiny, she will probably have to lie in bed for a week.

However, the “gift” brought by Su Jue made up for this. As the representative of collapse, the will of collapse contains extremely vast energy. Su Jue filtered this chaotic energy through time crystals and transformed it into mild collapse energy.

The girl finally found the sand and gravel left by Su Jue in the long river of time, which is the [Time Gravel] representing the time crystal.

Kiana leaned back on the soft sofa and slowly closed her eyes. Gentle Honkai energy was transmitted from the time gravel, repairing the damage to Kiana’s body at a terrifying speed and filling the missing Honkai energy.

The dormant flame flickered again, and this time, it had completely transformed into Kiana’s authority, lying quietly in the palm of her hand.

By the warm stove, Su Jue stood behind the girl and gently combed her messy white hair. The boy’s gentle hands neatly put the scattered silver hair together and tied it into a more mature and heroic high ponytail.

He shook the cloak that Kiana got from Raven, and controlled the silver-white dominant threads to interweave quickly, like a fine weaver, transforming the cloak into flawless white thread by thread.

It was not until Kiana completely absorbed the power of Fire Flame and Time Gravel and opened her eyes again that he carefully tied the new cloak around the girl’s shoulders.

“Let’s go.”

When the door was opened, it was seen that the Ice Ruler had already destroyed most of the city. There was wind and snow, but the fire was always burning.

337 The expectations of the masses

Thanks to Su Jue’s success in dragging the Herrscher of Meteoric Ice into the space-time rift, the extreme cold and abnormal gravity that had been attacking the entire coral island were temporarily alleviated, and the temperature returned from nearly 100 degrees below zero to 20 or 30 degrees below zero. Although it was still extremely cold, at least simple rescue work could finally be carried out.

“Give me your hand, hold on tight, don’t give up.”

On the broken cross-sea bridge, the deputy captain of the Snow Lotus Team, Bernice, grabbed a protruding steel bar with one hand, and lay down on the edge of the bridge, while with the other hand she tightly held the little girl who fell from the bridge.

The girl had already looked very weak due to the low temperature. When she heard Bernice’s call, she just raised her head instinctively, and the strength in her hands became weaker and weaker.

Beneath them was the frozen sea, and the entire coral island had been dragged by the Ice Ruler, dozens of meters above the sea level. The originally safe height was enough to take the lives of countless people.

“Don’t be afraid, I will save you.” Bernice whispered comfortingly and pulled the girl up with force.

But the Honkai incident has lasted for such a long time, and the Snow Lotus Team has carried out similar rescue work countless times. Even the Valkyrie has long been exhausted at this moment, and she is relying purely on her own will to carry out the rescue.

Her hands that were holding onto the steel bars were rubbed to the point of bleeding, and were quickly frozen by the low temperature. Fortunately, it was effective after all. By constantly moving, the girl’s body was finally able to support the bridge surface. As long as the center of gravity could be stabilized, the rescue was basically a success.

Bernice smiled and prepared to pull the girl back to the bridge in one go, but there was a sudden crisp breaking sound when she grabbed the steel bar.

The reinforced concrete ground had been ravaged by the Ice Ruler, and its internal structure had long been rotten. Coupled with the low temperature, it was not much better than tofu dregs.

Bernice’s face changed suddenly when she saw this scene. After thinking for less than half a second, she took the initiative to let go of the steel bar and grabbed the girl with both hands.

“Quick!” He used all his strength to pull the girl up from the edge. Then he threw her to a safe area without hesitation.

Of course, the price of doing so was that she lost her balance. Coupled with the complete break of the bridge, Bernice was left with nothing under her, and she fell onto the icy surface of the sea along with the broken bridge deck.

Looking at the girl who was finally safe on the bridge, Bernice felt her tired body suddenly relax, and she felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

Her vision became blurry and the past scenes seemed to reappear before her eyes.

“Becoming a Valkyrie is not only an honor, but also a mission, something you must entrust your life to do.”

“Captain Anna, is the mission of the Valkyrie to carry out the mission of destiny?”

“No, it’s to save civilians and fight for those who can’t fight.”

The scene in front of her disappeared, and only the broken bridge surface remained in Bernice’s vision. With a smile on her lips, she slowly closed her eyes.

“She’s obviously a girl two years younger than me, but she’s really good at teaching people a lesson.” Bernice let her body fall, muttering to herself, “But Captain Anna, Team Snow Lotus Bernice did it.”

boom!

The broken bridge weighing several tons crashed into the sea, and the ice surface instantly cracked into countless cracks. However, even this level of impact could not penetrate the ice layer. The extreme cold caused by the meteorite ice was far more terrifying than imagined.

The collapsed rubble flew everywhere, and there was no chance of Bernice surviving. However, when the dust settled, there was only broken cement at the scene, and no traces of blood were found.

A few dozen meters away, Ji Zi’s figure slowly fell, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She looked down at Bernice, who had been rescued by her. The other party had fallen into a coma, but fortunately she was rescued in time and was not injured.

“That’s really nonsense.” She cursed subconsciously, then she remembered that the other person was not her student. She could only shake her head slightly and said no more.

In Ji Zi’s memory, the only one who liked to act like this was Kiana. Thinking of how the girl was in Saint Freya, a smile broke out on her lips.

“However, that most mischievous girl has now become a hero who can stand on her own.”

She raised her head and looked towards the sky. The battlefield once ravaged by the Ice Ruler was now covered by a gray spherical area.

Within the domain, whether it was the cracked chasm that tore the entire coral island apart, or the huge hook that was like a god’s grasp, they were now in a state of stagnation. Even the drifting snowflakes and the biting storm were frozen in mid-air.

It was this suddenly appearing field that pulled the coral island back from the brink of collapse and saved countless lives from the brink of death.

Ji Zi didn’t know what this field was, but she knew that within the field, Kiana and Su Jue were fighting to save the world.

“Come on, Kiana, turn this imperfect world into what you want it to be.”

On the broken earth, in the collapsed ruins, beside the broken bridge.

The crying child stopped his tears, the injured young man clenched his teeth, the trembling middle-aged man put his arms around his wife and daughter, and the octogenarian leaned against the broken wall.

They subconsciously raised their heads and stared at the gray sky with Ji Zi. They didn’t know what this area meant, but they had a hunch that someone was fighting for them.

The fate of Coral Island depends on this final battle.

……

boom.

Dazzling flames swept across the sky, and the entire sky seemed to be on fire, followed by a series of explosions. The sweeping air currents stirred up the clouds in the sky, tearing a huge hole in the gray sky.

The broken ice crystals were instantly evaporated into pale mist under the burning high temperature. In the swirling thick fog, Kiana’s figure was looming.

The girl held the Fire Flame Greatsword in one hand, standing high in the sky. Her flawless white hair fluttered freely in the airflow generated by the explosion, and her cloak fluttered behind her.

The authority of Fire Flame is almost a qualitative change for Kiana. The power of the Herrscher of Fire itself is the most destructive. Even if it has not been integrated with other powers, Kiana’s current combat power has already broken through the previous limits.

The ice cone storm that was previously difficult to resist can now be cut through with a single sword, and the ice waterfall that had required all one’s strength to block now poses no threat at all.

However, Kiana, who held this power, did not feel as relaxed as expected. Instead, she felt an indescribable discomfort, as if…

This power seems to be flawed.

“…”

Kiana, who noticed this, remained silent and subconsciously looked at the burning sword in her hand. But at this moment, in the thick fog, a black hook took advantage of the cover of the fog and attacked her silently.

338 The Fire Thief

The attack was obviously planned for a long time. Under the cover of the clouds, the grappling claws approached silently. When the distance was shortened, the sound of mechanical chains rubbing against each other suddenly rang out. The sharp grappling claws swept through the clouds and attacked Kiana at a terrifying speed.

Click.

The high-speed claw closed directly, blocking all of Kiana’s evasive angles before she could react. After a successful strike, the Ice Herrer did not pause at all, and the sharp ice hairpin was ready to strike, piercing the claw directly.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, the flames fell silent, and only the nebula created by the Ice Ruler was circling.

“Kiana!” Su Jue, who was maintaining the space-time rift, felt his heart tighten and he immediately prepared to rescue her. However, before he could act, he saw Kiana’s figure gracefully appearing from above the hook, with her toes lightly stepping on the ice hairpin.

This guy has a way of taking blood pressure.

Su Jue breathed a sigh of relief, stopped what he was doing, and continued to focus on maintaining this space.

This is a space-time rift formed by the time crystal in an unstable way, which is at risk of collapse at any time. Both Meteoric Herrscher and Kiana are out-of-specification Herrschers. If the damage caused is too great, it is likely to cause a distortion of space-time and trap the two in the time rift.

Therefore, one of Su Jue and Qiyana must maintain the operation of the space.

Of course, Su Jue can also choose to take the risk of a righteous two-on-one battle and shatter the meteorite ice along with the space in a short period of time, but the Fire Flame is Su Jue’s gift to Kiana, and it is also the tempering of her growth. She needs a strong enough enemy to consolidate this power.

The Meteoric Ice Ruler is undoubtedly the best test subject.

“Let’s leave the stage to her. She needs to shine her light, both for herself and for the world.”

And Kiana in the sky did not disappoint Su Jue. Even though she was a little distracted just now, she would not be hurt by this level of sneak attack.

The hook immediately tried to turn around after finding that it had failed to control, but the Ice Hairpin used by the Ice Herrscher to finish off the opponent became a restriction. Kiana stepped on the Ice Hairpin with one foot, firmly fixing the hook in a closed state, and then raised the sword with both hands.

The flames turned into an arc, and the chain connecting the hook broke with a sound.

The attacked Herrscher of Meteoric Ice immediately changed his tactics, and the frost turned into sharp cones and shot towards her. But Kiana just jumped lightly, drawing an elegant arc in the air like a cat.

“Now it’s Kiana time!”

The ice cone brushed past her hair, and the fire in Kiana’s hand was already ready to go. With a flick of her wrist, the greatsword flew into the ball-shaped hook like an arrow.

Kiana, who was out of the attack range, didn’t look at the hook behind her anymore, but snapped her fingers lightly with her right hand.

Hey.

Corresponding to the crisp sound of the finger snap was the loud explosion of the hook claw, and a strong flame rose up behind the girl, lighting up the sky covered by gray fog.

Kiana didn’t look back at the explosion, but just casually gathered her hair that was blown away by the airflow and restored it to the way it was when Su Jue combed it.

The firewood turned into flames and returned from the explosion, and once again turned into a big sword in Kiana’s hand. All that was left on the spot were the wreckage of the hook after the explosion and the screams of the Ice Herrscher when he was injured.

The enemy that was originally difficult to resist now poses no threat at all. However, Kiana did not show any joy, but was silent instead.

“You have mastered such a powerful force, but you are still the same, Ki-A-Na…”

A cold female voice entered her mind, and Kiana, who was staring at the Fire Sword in a daze, suddenly widened her eyes and subconsciously tightened her grip on the weapon. But soon, her emotions gradually subsided and she regained her composure.

“Herrscher of the Void!”

“What? You don’t think you’ve gotten rid of me completely, do you?”

The Herrscher of the Sky’s voice was mocking, but Kiana was not angered and spoke to him calmly.

“No, I just didn’t expect that you haven’t given up controlling me. You should know that I am no longer the weak person I was before. You have no chance.”

“You are right. The power you possess now even exceeds the power of the Herrscher of the Void. But…”

“Are you really ready to use it, Kiana?”

“Of course!” Kiana’s tone left no room for doubt.

The authority of Firewood Flame is different from the destructive power of the Herrscher of Flame. It is more of a legacy of power and a continuation of hope. Only when the user’s will is strong enough can it exert its true power.

Kiana was shaken by Su Jue’s death, which led to the backlash of Xin Yan. But now that Kiana knows that Ji Zi is still alive and has reunited with Su Jue, she has no regrets.

And after being tempered by so many battles, her will has long been extremely firm, and now it is almost a natural thing for her to take control of Xinyan.

“Then why did I show up?” Kong Lu seemed to be asking a question, but also seemed to be mocking him.

“You should know that I am the second side of the Herrscher. As long as your heart is stable enough, you can trap me deep in your consciousness forever. And now that I can talk to you again, doesn’t it prove that your heart is wavering?”

The Queen’s voice was full of temptation, trying to drag Kiana into the logic of collapse. If she wasn’t careful, she would fall into her trap.

Unfortunately, her bewitching did not affect Kiana.

“Unfortunately, I have not wavered, and I will not waver. The sky is so dark, and we need bright flames to illuminate the way forward for people. The eternally burning fire will become my power to change this world.” Kiana looked at the Ice Herrscher hovering in the sky, wreaking havoc on the city, her azure eyes clear and pure.

“I will carry this flame with me and keep going, no matter how dark the road ahead is.”

“…”

“Well, it seems that you have really developed a great consciousness. For the sake of some despicable humans, you are willing to be as miserable as a clown.”

“But if that’s the case, why haven’t you swung your sword yet? With this raging fire, you should be able to cut through it.”

silence.

“Is it because of that guy named Su Jue?”

“You have discovered it, right? The power of this flame came too smoothly, as if it was destined. It’s as if someone has silently arranged everything for you, and you are just moving forward step by step.”

“Do you feel it? The deficiency in your heart is not the lack of strength, but the lingering sense of unreality.”
