Chapter 32 - Chapter 32 New Wind, Rekindled Fire

Su heard Elysia's voice, walked closer to her, and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Look, the future of that world seems to have changed quite a bit~"

As Elysia spoke, she had Ai-chan synchronize the relevant information to the live stream, so everyone could see it.

[Summarizing the impact of the Destiny Crystal….]

[The first one has been triggered, triggerer: Bronya.]

[The Destiny Event is: In 2016, Oceania, Bronya is no longer controlled by the highest authority command, and the Honkai's control over Wendy is reduced.]

[The direct impact is: Wendy did not die in this event; instead, she fully mastered a portion of the Herrscher's power and subsequently remained temporarily on the Hyperion, providing some assistance for subsequent events.]

[Unchanged Event: Even if Bronya was not unconscious and Theresa did not go to the underground chapel, Kiana was still guided to the data space recording the Second Honkai, leading to the awakening of her Herrscher personality.]

Soon, the previously blank screen of the live stream began to automatically generate images, showing Bronya and Wendy.

Bronya looked at Wendy and said seriously:

"Since that's the case, come with Bronya, Mei, and that idiot Kiana."

Wendy still looked a bit lost and said softly:

"I still can't let go."

Bronya encouraged her:

"Wendy, you can do it, because you've already done it."

Wendy looked at Bronya, her eyes gradually becoming much firmer:

"Mm, I'll try…"

[Wendy: Can I… can I also get this kind of outcome?]

[Bronya: This… is also a good thing.]

[Seele Vollerei: Mm, I heard Bronya mention this. It's a bit of a shame about the situation back then…]

[The second Destiny Crystal was triggered.]

[Triggerer: Murata Himeko.]

[The Destiny Event is: Following the previous event, in the same year, the Herrscher of the Void revived, causing Honkai across the globe…]

[Himeko, wearing Godsbane armor, successfully awakened Kiana's consciousness after injecting the "Lance of Godsbane" into the Herrscher of the Void. She then fell into the Imaginary Space, but her consciousness remained on the Gem of Serenity.]

[Event impact continues…]

[Murata Himeko: This…]

"[aiden Mei: Could it be?]

[Bronya: If her consciousness remains on the Herrscher Core, then she can…]

[The third Destiny Crystal was triggered.]

[Triggerer: Kiana.]

[Destiny Event: Following the previous event, in 2017, during the confrontation with the Herrscher of Domination, Kiana's mind faltered in her attempt to retrieve the Gem of Serenity, and the Herrscher of the Void was reawakened. After the final showdown with the Herrscher of the Void...]

[Kiana conversed with Himeko and finally returned to reality. With the power of the Herrscher of Reason Core and the Herrscher of Sentience Core, she successfully awakened Himeko's consciousness.]

[Himeko exists on the Greatsword of Flames, becoming a presence similar to a Stigmata consciousness…]

[Afterward, everyone successfully defeated the Herrscher of Domination.]

[Finally, on the Hyperion, everyone celebrated Himeko's return instead of holding a funeral for her.]

In the live stream's footage, Kiana pushed open the door that separated consciousness from reality, and her consciousness plunged into the cold yet real world.

"Fight for all that is beautiful in the world."

This sentence had echoed countless times in her heart.

The puppets belonging to the Herrscher of Domination still resisting stubbornly, trying to maintain their final "unity."

They wanted to drag her into an endless abyss.

But she would never give up, even in desperation, even if she was covered in wounds.

Her companions quietly entrusted their respective authorities to her:

Bronya stepped forward, tied up her scattered hair, and reforged the broken sword in her hand… Fu Hua put gauntlets and armor on her… Himeko's figure emerged behind her, draping a cloak symbolizing fire and rebirth over her… Everyone silently supported her from behind, their power converging on her… The battle continued, Kiana gripped the sword in her hand.

When the last flicker of flame lit up in the center of the battlefield, Kiana vaguely saw that red-haired figure.

She was there, standing in the firelight, her figure familiar and warm.

She was there… No…!

How was she still there?!

Kiana looked at Himeko in front of her, opened her mouth, but couldn't speak for a moment.

A huge doubt surged in her heart, along with a tiny, unspoken hope.

Himeko looked at her like this and couldn't help but laugh, saying:

"Haha, we talked so much in consciousness just now, I really didn't expect to have this opportunity."

She raised her hand, looked at her now semi-materialized palm, and spoke with a hint of relief:

"Although it's obvious that this current state might not count as a real person, at least I can 'live' in this way, and I can watch over you all, can't I?"

"Himeko!"

Kiana couldn't hold back anymore and rushed forward again, hugging Himeko tightly.

"There, there, we just hugged once in consciousness…"

Himeko said softly, though she was still not quite used to this body composed of consciousness and Herrscher Core power.

Although her movements were a bit stiff, she still tried to raise her hand and gently stroked Kiana's hair… Himeko asked with a smile: "Oh, right, my funeral hasn't been held yet, has it?"

Kiana looked up at the familiar smile in Himeko's eyes and shook her head vigorously: "Of course not!"

(I didn't expect to put my old idea of saving Himeko here…)

(It really is the most reasonable and logical way to save her that I could think of.)
