Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

A sea of ​​fire filled her vision, her mind went blank, and the searing pain from the flames made Cocolia lose all sense of time. The Star Core stirred within her, hoping to break free from its fusion with Cocolia.

During this period, the will that had been influenced by the Star Core's will for many years miraculously began to clear up, but the will that had just begun to improve was suppressed by the Star Core once again.

Cocolia's chaotic consciousness ultimately could not withstand the ravages of the star core and shattered at this moment.

Now, there is no longer any consciousness of Kolia in this body, only the will called the Star Core resides within it.

Perhaps because it had completely taken control of the body, the Star Core was able to access more Rift Energy, and without having to make a choice, it immediately used this energy to completely transform the body.

If the previous body could still be identified as a human body, the current body has completely abandoned its human appearance.

Distortion, expansion.

The final image presented is one of the strongest enemies Kiana encountered in her memories.

That was the final test of human civilization by the human 'Chimera' after mastering the power of the end—the manifestation of the beast in this world.

With Bella joining the fight, the Imaginary God Corpse? Nihilism was easily defeated.

"What is this? I have a bad feeling about it," Xing asked, rubbing his arms.

As Kiana gazed at the enormous figure in the sky, her thoughts drifted back to the time when she fought that man.

Kiana then replied, "That was the enemy I fought back then, the ultimate test of human civilization—the beast that manifested in this world."

“Just from the name, I know this person is not someone to mess with. What should we do?” Bronya Rand asked.

"Can you bear to do that?" Kiana looked at Bronya Rand. "You know that she was transformed from Cocolia's body. With the current level of mutation, I'm afraid that after defeating her, not even ashes will be left."

"Kiana, I hope you can answer my questions truthfully."

Bronya Rand looked at Kiana with a determined gaze, but her trembling hands betrayed her inner turmoil.

"Does Cocolia's consciousness still exist there?"

Kiana looked up at the beast that had manifested in this world, then shook her head.

"Perhaps it was before. Ever since Cocolia's body started to change, I can only sense a consciousness inside that body."

"I understand, please make your move! Don't worry about my feelings!"

"I understand."

As she spoke, Kiana's attire transformed back into that of the Herrscher of the End. She looked at the crowd and said, "The Beast that manifests in this world consists of four parts. The three outer parts represent three generations in the history of my planet, while the central part is the true form. I hope you can help me break through the outer parts one by one, so that I can go to the central part and face the star core directly."

"I understand the logic, but how are we supposed to get up there?" March 7th asked. "We can't possibly ride this dragon up, can we?"

“I don’t think Bella will agree to you getting on her back so easily. I will open a portal later. You just need to go through the portal. After I’ve dealt with one part, I will open another portal. After all the outer parts are destroyed, I will bring you to the main body to face the star core. Of course, you can also return to the ground through the portal.”

"We've come this far, you don't actually think we'd desert us in the face of battle, do you?" Seele said dismissively.

"Of course not. In that case, let's set off."

After saying that, Kiana used a portal to teleport everyone to the location of the Paleozoic Era, while Bella was sent back by Kiana to support the Silvermane Iron Guards who were fighting a bloody battle.

After doing all this, Kiana then arrived at the center of the world's beasts.

Looking at this familiar place, Kiana's thoughts drifted back to the past once again.

By then, she had become the Herrscher of the End, Bronya had completed her ascension, and Mei had also received the inheritance of the Herrscher of Origin.

At that time, they came to Kevin with the captain, and the first thing they had to face was the materialized version of the entire history of the Earth.

This refers to the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras that Bronya Rand and her companions will experience later.

After passing through the trials of three generations, the first test they will face is that of the karmic demon.

After passing the test of the karmic demon, they will face the test of Kevin, the 'savior'.

With the captain's help, the people who were dormant in the Stigmata Project gradually began to awaken, and then the awakened people awakened those who were still asleep.

Thus, the existence known as the Spirit Adam began to collapse, and the Stigmata Project came to its final stage.

Even the 'Chimera' of humanity, the 'Leviathan' of civilization, and the savior Kevin are so insignificant in the face of a united human being.

In the end, everyone worked together to defeat Kevin, and the captain received the Judgment of Heavenly Fire from Kevin as he lay dying.

Thus, the captain became the next master of the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

However, this is ultimately just a reproduction based on her memories. No matter how powerful the Star Core is, it cannot completely replicate the beasts that manifest in this world, let alone Kevin, who is in the center.

At this moment, at the center of the beast manifesting in this world, is a spherical mass of light.

"It looks like this is your original and most primitive appearance."

In response to Kiana's speculation, Star Core gave an affirmative answer.

“That’s right. I originally thought I could perfectly recreate the most powerful being in your memory, but it seems I was too naive.”

"That's natural. If you could reproduce it so easily, wouldn't that be underestimating human civilization?"

"Speaking of which, aren't you worried about them?"

"Based on your shoddy imitation, all show and no substance?"

Kiana looked at the ball of light in front of her with disdain.

"The beast that manifests in this world represents the entire history of the third planet of the solar system from its birth to its destruction. Each of its components is comparable to the mass of a planet. However, your energy can only barely bring the central body to that level. As far as I can see, the three outside have at most similar power to Cocolia. Enemies of this level are nothing to fear for them."

As if to confirm Kiana's words, the Paleozoic Era not far away let out a violent cry, and then turned into pure imaginary energy and completely dissipated.

"And why do you think I'm wasting my breath talking to you here?"

Suddenly Kiana raised her hand and pulled the trigger behind her.

With a scream, 'Cocolia' appeared behind Kiana. Kiana turned around and looked at 'Cocolia's' disheveled appearance.

"Do you really think I don't know that the ball of light in front of me is just an illusion you created? I'll ask you one more time: guess why I called them to attack those three components outside?"

"... "

'Cocolia' didn't speak. In essence, whether those three parts existed or not was not important to Kiana. If Kiana wanted to, she could bring everyone here directly to defeat it.

But Kiana didn't do that, and He could probably guess why Kiana didn't.

"So what? Do you think you can take care of me before they finish dealing with the remaining two parts?"

"You only know that my companions and I were locked in a fierce battle back then, but do you know how much stronger I am now compared to how I was back then?"

'Cocolia's pupils contracted in shock as she looked behind her. Kiana was already behind her without her noticing. The next second, she felt a sharp pain in her chest as if she had been cut by a sharp weapon.

"Based on your limited understanding and inferences, how much of my current strength do you think I possess? Ten percent? Or eighty percent? The answer is less than one-tenth!"

As soon as she finished speaking, 'Cocolia's' body shattered, and the fragments began to slide off with the force of gravity, revealing the true form of the star core hidden inside.

Kiana looked at the ball of light in front of her and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems you don't always use fake things to deceive others."

"...Why, why can't I move?"

The Star Core instinctively wanted to escape. Now that the device that bound it was gone, it should have been able to move freely within the rift, but it was now unable to move an inch. Even its enormous energy was now firmly locked around it and could not be mobilized.

"Don't even think about struggling. The power of restraint can completely neutralize all Honkai energy and weaken other energies. Right now, the fact that you can't even use energy is already powerful enough."

On the gradually collapsing field, Kiana issued an ultimatum to the Star Core.

"Star Core, you have lost. It's time to hand you over to the professionals for sealing."

After saying that, Kiana casually sealed off the space around the Star Core. After taking the Star Core, Kiana returned to where everyone was.

"Is it over?" Xing asked.

Kiana looked up at the disintegrating Beast of This World and replied, "Yes, it's over."

"Once we completely seal the star core, our mission to explore this planet will be completely complete," Dan Heng said, looking at the star core in Kiana's hand.

"But Kiana, you're being too polite! Why didn't you let us join you in fighting the Star Core from the start?"

Seeing March 7's complaining expression, Kiana chuckled and apologized, "It's my fault, but I was just thinking that some things are better left unexperienced."

“If you’re talking about Cocolia, I can accept it,” Bronya Rand said.

"Bronya, you are stronger than I thought. In that case, please accept this."

“This is…” Bronya Rand said, taking the point of light from Kiana’s other hand, “I feel a sense of familiarity here, what is this?”

"This is a fragment of my consciousness that I separated from the star core, and it is the only thing Cocolia has left in the world."

"What's the use of this?"

"You can think of it as a memory reading device that contains a fragment of Cocolia's memory. As for how to use it, just put your forehead on this fragment of consciousness."

"To put it bluntly, it's just a simple memory bubble, I'm familiar with this stuff!" Xing said, hands on her hips.

Kiana ignored Xing's antics and continued speaking to Bronya Rand: "Once you choose to accept it, it means you will experience the emotions it contains firsthand. Even so, do you still choose to accept it?"

"This isn't a choice, is it?"

With lightning speed, Bronya Rand placed the fragment of consciousness on her forehead, and then her consciousness sank into the memory space constructed by this fragment of consciousness.

Here she saw the time when Cocolia had just taken office as the High Guardian. Like all High Guardians, Cocolia received not hope from her predecessor, but increasing despair.

At first, she was full of confidence, believing that she could definitely solve the cold wave and the rift that had plagued Belloberg for seven hundred years, but the reality soon dealt her a huge blow.

No matter how hard she tried, the cold wave did not weaken at all, and the rift did not stop expanding.
