Chapter 88 Can't be true?
It seems I can't stop him.
This seemed to be the first time Kiana truly understood him.
No matter what I say or do, he will still throw everything away to help me and everyone else through the difficult times.
That's just the kind of person he is; I can't change him.
But at least in the future, when something like this happens again, we can't let him bear it all alone.
Since we can't change him, we should strive to become stronger, strong enough to fight alongside him.
Theresa led the group to the highest point of Sky City. When they arrived, all they saw was the golden monument and Kiana holding an exhausted Chen Feng.
Theresa looked at the golden monument, her heart filled with tremor.
Just now, she personally felt the Honkai energy in the entire Sky City weaken as a result, and even completely eliminate the Honkai beasts wandering around.
She didn't know how much power it would take to do such a thing, but the price would definitely be high.
"Chen Feng, Kiana!"
Mei, Bronya, and Seele rushed over to help support Kiana and Chen Feng, their eyes filled with tension, anxiety, and worry.
"He's just too tired, let him rest."
Kiana's face was also full of exhaustion when she said those words.
I was really tired during my time in Sky City.
She also wondered if she would have collapsed during her time in Tianqiong City if it weren't for Chen Feng.
The answer is obvious.
Even if it doesn't completely collapse, it won't be any better.
Unbeknownst to her, Chen Feng had already left an indelible mark on her heart.
Theresa looked at the children who had regrouped before her, paused for a moment, and then spoke.
"Let's go back to the Hyperion, let's go home."
Upon hearing this, Kiana was slightly taken aback.
A moment later, she came to her senses and nodded slightly as she watched Bronya and Seele help her away.
"Yes, let's go home."
Mei walked at the back of the crowd, looking at the unconscious Chen Feng and everyone else beside her. Her hands were clenched tightly around the hem of her clothes.
Kevin's words echoed in her mind.
"Then join World Serpent, Raiden Mei."
"Only by acquiring power commensurate with him will you be qualified to stand by his side, instead of just watching him die every time."
Should I really join World Serpent?
She didn't want to leave everyone.
But Chen Feng's current state left her feeling extremely conflicted.
If I joined World Serpent, could I really stand by his side and protect him from the things he shouldn't have done?
As she struggled internally, a familiar voice rang in her ears again.
"What are you afraid of?"
Mei's breath hitched.
She didn't turn around; the voice still lingered in her ears.
"Afraid of leaving them, afraid of becoming a monster, or... afraid he'll hate you?" She paused for a moment. "What you're really afraid of is discovering that even with your power, you still can't protect him."
Mei clenched the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white.
"……you're right."
The Herrscher of Thunder remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, before finally letting out a soft laugh.
I thought you would argue with me.
There was no sarcasm in the Herrscher of Thunder's voice; it was very calm.
"I'm waiting for the day you think things through. You crybaby, don't keep me waiting too long."
Mei stood there, her eyelashes trembling.
Kiana and the others have already gone far away.
She looked up at everything before her, her mind in turmoil.
[Future Timeline]
"So this is where it was all along, Mei?"
Kiana turned to look at Mei, her eyes filled with understanding.
No wonder Mei's personality changed so much later; Kevin's words ultimately influenced Mei.
But Mei probably never imagined that what she did would hasten the other person's death.
Mei's eyes were filled with complex emotions.
The real shift in my mindset began here.
Or rather, without the support of another version of himself, he estimated that he would have hesitated for a long time.
Although the outcome was not pleasant, at this point, she had no other choice.
"What are you all saying? You've all been spacing out since just now. Could it be that the Herrschers have their own private chat group?"
Himeko had barely said two words after arriving here when she saw this group of people staring blankly at her.
If she hadn't been able to see the changes in their emotions in their eyes, she would have thought these people were all possessed by evil spirits.
That's really weird.
"Himeko-sensei, when did you arrive? Please sit down!"
After Kiana realized what was happening, she quickly pulled Himeko to sit on the sofa, her face showing an embarrassed smile and a hint of ingratiation.
After sitting down, Himeko crossed her legs and stared at the people in front of her, looking at them suspiciously.
"Don't change the subject. What were you all doing just now, spacing out?"
"Ah, this..."
The group looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
After all, even if we told Himeko-sensei about being able to see scenes from the past, she would probably think they'd all gone mad.
The room suddenly became unusually quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, Himeko spoke first. She casually waved her hand and said, "Forget it, it's fine if you have some little secrets. I'm too lazy to ask."
However, Durandal just messaged me and Theresa, saying she wants to come and discuss some things with you. She'll probably arrive tomorrow.
Durandal, has she come to find us?
In an instant, a hint of doubt arose in the minds of everyone present.
They rarely meet, after all, Durandal has a lot to do and is quite busy. The fact that she says she wants to see them now must mean something is wrong.
However, Mei and Bronya quickly realized something. They exchanged a glance, and the others, seeing the look in their eyes, instantly understood the situation.
Similarly, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
"Alright, I just wanted to let you know. Judging from her tone, it seems like she wants to meet all of you."
Seeing the group of people looking at each other, Himeko felt bored and got up to leave the room.
After Himeko left, the room suddenly became lively.
"No way, Durandal can see it too?"
"So what exactly are the conditions for seeing the past?"
Why can't we see Theresa and Himeko?
"It can't be that you have to like Chen Feng, right? Hahaha..."
After Kiana made that casual remark, everyone in the room immediately fell silent.
Everyone slowly turned to look at Kiana, and the smile on Kiana's face gradually froze.
Kiana: ...
Kiana: Scratching her face
Kiana: Shocked.
"It can't be true..."
