"This war, which has lasted for fifty thousand years, is over. We have won the final victory."
Aponia smiled gently, "The continent of Mu has been integrated into the newly opened world, and after that, the timeline will be reset. No one will lose anything because of the Honkai..."
Fu Hua looked at Aponia, her expression unchanged.
Hearing this, she said, "In the new world, there will be no more collapse, right?"
"That's not entirely true."
"In fact, we are still in the same universe and can still interact with each other. The Honkai cannot disappear and still exists."
"But from a third-party perspective, we are like two corresponding worlds, with the same main structure—but there are still big differences in the details."
Seeing that Fu Hua didn't understand, the Lawbringer took the initiative to explain.
“Apart from Mu Continent, the surface is basically the same, and there is also a cocoon, but it is now harmless.”
Fu Hua nodded upon hearing this.
That's what she really cares about.
"Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the new world, people from the past cannot retain their memories."
Aponia calmly and slowly recounted another matter.
Fu Hua felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
She asked, "And what about them?"
Aponia knew that Fu Hua was asking about a former friend.
"Those who have had deep contact with the Honkai cannot erase those memories. Perhaps one day, they will remember them."
Fu Hua fell silent for a moment.
"Have you decided which side you want to choose, Hua?"
"Before making a choice, I have a few questions I'd like to ask."
"Ask away, Hua."
"How is he now?"
Aponia's eyes trembled, and she remained speechless for a long time.
Fu Hua's heart sank.
After a long time, Aponia finally spoke: "There's nothing we can do; even Kevin can't get involved in the areas he's in."
"Dr. Mei knew this from the very beginning, didn't she?"
"right……"
"I understand."
The Lawbringer glanced at Fu Hua, then at Aponia, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally patted Fu Hua on the shoulder.
"Old relic, have you made your choice?"
"The people of the pre-civilization era did their utmost to back up the world before its end; this was an unprecedented feat."
"But there's nothing left for me to cherish there. Family, friends, comrades... no matter how much the long years have left behind, we are all just people living in the present."
"Therefore, I have decided to stay, to remain in the present civilization."
Aponia sighed inwardly and nodded.
"I will respect your choice, Hua."
Fu Hua suddenly felt a sense of relief. Although her heart was still heavy, she was no longer confused.
"This is the last war that I and the people of the previous civilization participated in together. We probably won't see each other again... Please say goodbye to them for me."
"I will."
Aponia nodded solemnly.
At this moment, the one who understood the law seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they didn't end up arguing.
Let's go, let's go back and check the situation first.
“Aponia, let’s get out of here—let’s go, old relic, there’s probably a whole mess to deal with over there.”
"Um,"
Fu Hua nodded and then said to Aponia, "Well then, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
The group of people disappeared from the spot.
Fu Hua opened her eyes, and a beam of light immediately pierced her vision.
She gently shielded her eyes with the back of her hand, and it took her a moment to adjust to the sunlight.
The Feather Dust was still in her hand, and beside her was the projection of the Herrscher of Knowledge; at this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on the highest peak of Mount Taixu.
It's like an eternity.
She stood up, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and casually leaped down the mountain.
With the Lawbringer of Knowledge following, the two left Mount Taixu and headed straight for the current headquarters of Destiny.
However, when the two were halfway there, a voice suddenly appeared in their ears, startling them, especially the Herrscher of Knowledge.
After realizing who the voice came from, the two were relieved.
"Class monitor, Xiao Shi, it's me."
"Tsk tsk, Kiana's really gotten better—by the way, is there any delay in distance measurement?"
"Uh, I don't think so..."
"Hey, I was just kidding, don't look like you're going to take it too seriously."
"Of course I'll investigate! I can't go back to Earth right now! I'd be bored to death if I couldn't play online games on the moon!"
"..."
"..."
Both the Herrscher of Knowledge and Fu Hua were at a loss for words.
As participants in the plan, both of them knew that Kiana was now practically a god on Earth.
Being forced to stay on the moon was something they had no choice but to do.
but.
The idea that the God of Earth has no games to play sounds absurd, but it's actually a very serious issue.
If the Earth God becomes extreme because he can't play the game, it will be a disaster for humanity on Earth.
"I don't think it's a big problem. This kind of thing shouldn't be left to Bronya, and with your current strength, you should be able to handle it, right?"
"That is the law of knowledge," said the one who understands it.
"Indeed, I just thought about that. I'll give it a try after I finish talking to the others."
Fu Hua: "Kiana, how is she?"
"...Are you asking him?"
"Ah."
"To be honest, his final appearance was very similar to Otto's back in Klossen Town..."
"Is it gone?"
"Yes, we haven't heard from him since then."
Fu Hua remained silent for a moment, her expression not changing much.
"Squad leader, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just a bit sentimental. The war is finally over."
The Lawbringer glanced at her, and his lips twitched slightly, looking somewhat unnatural.
Kiana, however, seemed to have thought of something and frowned as she asked, "I think I sensed Aponia earlier; she said thank you to me. Does that mean something?"
"Dr. Mei's plan has succeeded."
"Oh—what?! What plan?"
The Herald of Knowledge curled his lips slightly, as if the joy he had just felt was immediately suppressed by something.
"I'm not entirely sure either,"
Fu Hua said, "But one thing is certain: the previous civilization was not destroyed, and it has now been reborn in a new world."
"..."
In that instant, Kiana's brain went blank.
"Wait, I need to sort this out!"
“Before we went to see Cocoon, we were trying to guess Dr. Mei’s real plan, and then he would be involved in its execution.”
"And now, the battle is over, and I have become the End..."
As she spoke, her doubts grew stronger.
Is Dr. Mei's plan really just a matter of taking the final step?
The Herrscher of Knowledge crossed his arms and said, "At your current level, you can't understand such profound questions. In game terminology you're familiar with, it's like the previous civilization saving its game before the end, and then using a cheat engine to directly modify the code and complete the game."
"..."
"You're the new administrator, so you'll definitely turn a blind eye to this kind of cheating, right?"
Kiana's malfunctioning brain started working again, but skipped the complicated process and went straight to the most crucial result.
"So, the people from the pre-civilization era are still alive and able to live normal lives?"
"Correct."
Where is Alicia?
"That's all I can tell you. The old man was completely absorbed in contemplating life just now. Luckily, I secretly got some information from Aponia."
The man who knew the law put his hands on his hips and became smug.
"Simply put, Alicia was originally unable to recover, since she was destined to return there eventually."
"However, due to someone's ingenious idea, at the moment Alicia successfully activated her power, they pulled a switcheroo, preserving her consciousness and inserting their hypnotized alternate personality into it."
Then, the Lawbringer of Knowledge spread his hands: "The rest is simple."
Kiana opened her mouth, her eyes wide with surprise.
After a long pause, she exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being called Velvi..."
Fu Hua spoke again: "Next, I plan to go back to Destiny to see how the others are doing and see if I can help in any way."
"Okay, class monitor, let's talk again later."
"it is good."
Communication ended.
The Herrscher of Knowledge turned to Fu Hua: "Aren't you going to tell her the truth?"
Fu Hua shook her head.
Those who understood the law were not surprised at all.
“That’s true. Back then, it wasn’t her who did it, so the matter could have been let go. But this time, she acted on her own volition…”
"Let's go, Xiao Shi."
"Oh."
Kiana ended her communication with Fu Hua and the others, and then turned to look at Durandal beside her.
