however……
The girl who has become a Herrscher is not an ordinary Herrscher, but a "messenger of God" who follows the will of the "Honkai Consciousness" to destroy human civilization.
—"The Lawgiver of the End".
Before the "Herrscher of the End," all human resistance is meaningless, and humanity is destined to face a desperate and dark demise.
but……
In order to awaken the girl who had become the "Herrscher of the End," her best friends, family, and teachers rushed to her side without hesitation, without considering their own safety.
Unfortunately, all efforts were destined to be in vain; human power was utterly powerless in the face of the "Herrscher of the End."
The girl used the destructive power granted by the "Collapse Consciousness" to kill her best friend, family, and teacher with her own hands...
It couldn't even be called a "battle"; it was more like a one-sided "massacre."
No one could withstand a single blow from the girl; their army collapsed and they died one after another.
After their deaths, human civilization was utterly destroyed in the heatwave of the "Great Collapse," and even the few individuals who managed to escape were wiped out in the subsequent purges.
The girl became humanity's nightmare, driven by "collapse consciousness" to become a demon that exists to destroy everything.
It has no consciousness, no movement, and no emotion...
The girl floated quietly above the planet, silently awaiting the instructions from the "Honkai Consciousness" to destroy the target marked by Honkai.
Whenever the last embers of human civilization are rekindled, she appears above the rebels and unleashes an inescapable divine punishment.
The girl kept repeating the same thing.
Killing...
wait……
Killing...
wait……
……
This long process lasted for an unknown period of time, perhaps only a few hundred years, or perhaps tens of thousands of years. The girl could no longer remember how long she had stood on the desolate land.
Only after the species called "human" became completely extinct did the girl stop wielding her blade and regain consciousness.
When the girl woke up again, she was not greeted by her old friends and family, but by memories that were like a nightmare...
"This is the truth of everything, a world more brutal than any story."
The girl spoke in a frighteningly calm tone, as if it were just a trivial matter that could hardly cause her any emotional reaction.
These things are already in the past for the girl, and no matter how sad she is, it's impossible to undo them.
Now, the girl has made her decision—
Instead of resisting or being afraid, accept everything.
Since I have become the "Herrscher of the End" who destroys the world in this world, then I will reverse everything in another world!
This time...
The girl will protect everything she cherishes.
Just like the Zero Era, it sounded the horn of counterattack against the "Honkai Consciousness".
The girl wasn't sure if she could do it, but she would do her best to make sure that the nightmare of the past would never happen again.
Before this, the girl needs to seriously consider how she should treat Qiu Bi, after all, he is her biological father from another world, and strictly speaking, he can also be considered her father.
perhaps……
Can Qiu Bi fulfill the missing "fatherly love"?
Chapter 154 "Recognizing Qiu as Father"
Raiden Mei stared blankly, the girl's short and calm words echoing in her mind, and she deeply realized the despair and sorrow the girl had experienced.
Xi'er remained silent, biting her lip and instinctively gripping Qiu Bi's hand.
The girl fell silent, picked up the teacup in front of her, and silently gazed at her reflection in the water.
No matter how desperate things she went through, the girl's face remained largely unchanged; she neither became more mature nor experienced much emotional change.
In an instant, everyone fell into a speechless silence.
Raiden Mei was still engrossed in the story the girl was telling, while Seele quickly shook off the story's influence and took small sips of her tea.
Seeing that Raiden Mei hadn't spoken for a long time, Qiu Bi took the initiative to break the silence.
"So what are you going to do in the future?"
"In the future..."
The girl murmured softly, then pleaded, "Can I leave this world with you? At least, I hope to atone for my sins in another world."
sound off.
The girl looked at Qiu Bi, hesitant to speak, unable to bring herself to say anything.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally made up her mind and uttered the word that she had never mentioned for so many years.
"Dad, I miss Mom."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi stared at the girl in astonishment, clearly not realizing that the girl would regard him as her "father".
It was the girl's call of "Dad" that made Qiu Bi even more determined in his original idea.
—Bring the girl, who is the "Herrscher of the End," back to her own world.
"I see."
Qiu Bi let out a long sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Then you can stay in this manor for now. Kiana, once this manor returns to our world, I will take you to see Cecilia."
Upon hearing the familiar address, the girl suddenly paused, staring blankly at Qiu Bi, lost in thought.
Then, the girl slowly came to her senses, her tone quite complicated: "Dad, I... 'Kiana' died long ago when the 'Herrscher of the End' descended, and now I..."
The girl paused for a moment, as if organizing her thoughts.
"Dad, please help me choose a new name," the girl pleaded softly. "I've been reborn and have a new purpose in life, so it's necessary to change my name."
"A name..."
Qiu Bi was troubled, not knowing what name to give.
The girl did not urge Qiu Bi; while patiently waiting, she also developed a little anticipation.
Raiden Mei had by then broken free from the story the girl was telling, and, mimicking Seele's actions, quietly took Qiu Bi's other hand.
This situation left the girl with mixed feelings.
Raiden Mei has found someone she likes, and that person is someone she can entrust her life to. This should be a happy thing, but the girl's heart inevitably feels lost and sad.
"How about we call her 'Angeline'? It's the French form of Angela, which means 'angel'."
"Even if you have now become the 'Herrscher of the End,' you must have been someone's 'angel' before, and besides..."
"You can become someone else's 'angel' in the future."
Qiu Bi racked his brains before coming up with a name that was passable.
The girl didn't say much and silently accepted her new name.
"Dad, when are we going home?"
Angeline lost a lot, even her former identity.
That's why she's quick to accept everything.
In just a few minutes, Angeline had already accepted Qiu Bi as her "father".
"We'll be home soon," Qiu Bi replied softly, then continued to explain, "If we hadn't accidentally wandered into this world, we should already be home by now."
Angeline nodded gently, feeling incredibly fortunate that Qiu Bi and the others had mistakenly entered this world.
Then, as if remembering something, she couldn't help but ask, "How long have you been in this world? Does Mom know about this?"
"About two months. Cecilia doesn't know about this, but the time flow in this world is different from ours, so only a few days have passed, probably less than a week."
"Ah."
Angeline put down her teacup, her beautiful eyes gazing at Raiden Mei, lost in thought.
Qiu Bi is arguably the only person Angelin can rely on right now, so no matter what decision Qiu Bi makes, Angelin will not object.
……
Since Lady Sylpharia possesses the "Herrscher of the Void Core" bestowed upon her by Chubi, it would not be difficult for her to bring the Mist Sea Manor back to Chubi's world, not to mention that Angeline is now helping her.
During this time, Angeline discovered something—
Not only Raiden Mei has feelings for Qiu Bi, but Seele also has feelings for him.
Furthermore, Lady Hilfalia appears to be one of her mothers.
Angeline was undoubtedly shocked when she learned that she had more than one mother.
Even though Angeline had forgotten all her emotions during her long history of killing, she rediscovered the emotion of "shock" in the fact that she "had many mothers".
Before this, Angeline had imagined what her first emotion would be—perhaps being moved, happy, or blissful—but the first emotion she experienced was "shock"...
Subsequently, after Angeline's repeated questioning, she finally figured out the complicated family relationships in her family.
Since "recognizing Qiu as her father", Angeline has become the eldest of Qiu Bi's many daughters.
Even the oldest, Sofia, is only nearly fifty years old.
Even if you add up the ages of Qiu Bi, Cecilia, Sofia, and Alexandra, it might not be a fraction of Angeline's age.
What is certain at present is that Angeline's age is at least in the "hundreds of years" and may even be in the "ten thousand years".
When Angeline learned that she had suddenly gained thirteen younger sisters, including five Herrschers and one "mother," the shock she felt was almost indescribable.
If Angeline only had one or two younger sisters, that would be understandable, but thirteen sisters in total... isn't that a bit much?
"Don't misunderstand, I only have two biological daughters, Kiana and Bianca."
