Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

At this moment, a streak of light flashed across the sky on the front lines of the battlefield and instantly descended between everyone and the unified will. What appeared in the streak of light was Kiana, dressed in silver-white armor.

Kiana slowly opened her eyes, her azure pupils shimmering with a light like a galaxy.

"What's going on with your current form?"

The unified will was momentarily stunned by Kiana's unexpected form before it reacted.

"Hahaha! So that's how it is! So that's what happened!"

Yes, in that very instant, Chaos had already seen through everything that had happened in the past.

In the past that He saw, Kiana and Otto devised this plan by taking advantage of the fact that He could only observe [the present], or rather Kiana's present moment, and collaborated with Raiden Mei from that parallel world to create the wish system.

The purpose was to have a way to catch up with their strength in a short time in case they had to fight them in the future. However, even they did not expect that the world where the final battle would take place would be here.

This means that Kiana has another way to increase her strength. More importantly, these two methods can be used simultaneously to create a cumulative effect, allowing Kiana's strength to increase exponentially.

If only one type of will integration could be used to firmly suppress the opponent, Kiana is now undoubtedly on par with Him.

Kiana ignored the Will Integration and turned to the group, saying, "Leave this to me."

Kevin crossed his arms and asked, "Are you sure there's no problem?"

Kiana nodded silently, and Kevin lowered his hands and nodded solemnly to Kiana as well.

Then, led by Kevin, the rest of the group slowly left the front lines. Before leaving, Alicia looked at Kiana with a worried expression, but in the end, she turned and left silently without saying anything.

Because she knew that at this moment, all words were no longer important, and the battlefield ahead was a place they could not set foot in.

Seeing this, Otto left the front lines early and returned to the ground to fully support the operation of the protective barrier, hoping that the city could withstand the subsequent impact in the coming days.

As it turned out, Otto was too naive. Kiana above first casually erased the spatial hole created by the Will Integration, and then punched the Will Integration. The latter responded with a punch of its own.

The mere aftershocks from the collision of their fists utterly destroyed the protective barrier he had unleashed with all his might. Space trembled and the earth tore apart; it was as if the end of the world had arrived.

However, in the next second, a gentle force began to appear and soothe everything. Before anyone knew it, the captain had arrived at Otto's side.

To Otto's astonishment, the captain simply waved his hand and repaired all the damage they had caused.

The whole world was like a video being rewound or restored. Not only that, Otto could also feel that everything in this world was covered by a powerful force, so that no matter how hard the two people above fought, they could not affect this world in the slightest.

"Captain, you..."

Otto stared in disbelief at the captain before him, whose pupils were radiating a soft golden light, and who was in a state that Otto could not describe in words.

Just like how he felt when he faced that [god] during the second Honkai Impact, omniscient and omnipotent beyond description.

"I am who I am. Otto was just helped by someone else."

"Some being...could it be Him?"

“That’s right.” The captain nodded calmly. “It’s the Heavenly Way, just as you guessed. However, the prerequisite for receiving His help is that I cannot interfere in Kiana’s battle with the Will Integration Entity right now.”

"why?"

"Otto, in your opinion, what if someone already knew what the future would be like?"

"Of course, one should plan one's actions based on the future and try to make the future develop in the way one expects, or simply give up and embrace the future one has already decided."

When faced with the captain's question, Otto answered instinctively, then realized what he had done.

"You mean that the Heavenly Dao foresaw this situation long ago?"

"It's more accurate to say that we knew it all along rather than to say that we anticipated it," the captain replied. "From the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, the future of the entire world is like grains of sand. It can see countless futures in an instant and can also decide a future according to its own needs."

When He created the primordial world, He already knew it would be destroyed. However, He didn't erase this future; instead, He preserved it. This was because He knew the primordial world was too perfect—so perfect that even the slightest flaw would destroy it. Therefore, destruction was necessary.

"So that's how it is. Destruction is rebirth. For Him, a perfect world is actually not as good as the world we have now?"

Who can truly predict the will of Heaven?

"Then what about that unified will entity?"

Kiana should have told you about the history of the world's origin, right?

Otto nodded and said, "I did."

“That explains it,” the captain said. “Just as the Heavenly Dao thought, the primordial world was destroyed, and at the same time, He saw the beauty of humanity, which is why He preserved the human race. The seal on the Unified Will was also a modification He made so that He could let go of the past after losing everything and becoming a new being. At the moment of modification, He also saw that the future was roughly divided into two types: one is what He hoped to see, and the other is what we are experiencing now.”

"I roughly understand the situation, but since Heaven can determine the future, why doesn't it simply erase this current future?"

"As I said before, the Heavenly Dao can see all the futures, so there are many possibilities for a good ending in the current trajectory of the future. To the Heavenly Dao, the whole world is its creation, its child. In any case, it still hopes that its child can recognize its mistakes and correct them, or rely on its own strength to overcome this crisis."

"That's really high and mighty."

"After all, that is the Heavenly Dao, the true creator god, not us humans. To Him, we are no different from those irrational animals."

"Then will He lend you power?"

After hearing this, the captain scratched his head sheepishly and said, "To be honest, I didn't know why at first either. I only found out when I asked Him. He said..."
