Chapter 169: "This scam is too easy"

When two Kiana with different histories appear simultaneously, it will generate many questions.

Just like Kiana who was lying in a flower bed. Even though her body couldn't move, her brain started running wildly.

Meanwhile, for the other Kiana, she was busy arranging a flower crown, with gentle and skillful movements.

"Take this, think of it as a gift for our first face-to-face meeting."

Ignoring Kiana's condition, who is clearly dying. Kiana combed her messy hair, and after that she placed the flower crown on top of her head.

"Hm~ a little better."

Kiana smiled with satisfaction.

"???"

Kiana, who was dying, had black question marks all over her face.

Trying to use the power of the stigmata in her body. The stigmata resonated slightly, and the Herrscher of death's power began to slowly heal the wound.

Since Welt cut space and moved the bubble universe to Imaginary space, even though Kiana could barely feel Thea's existence anymore, the stigmata that opened on her body still remained within her control.

After feeling the pain all over her body subside, and she didn't hear her bones creaking anymore. Kiana could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Who are you? Why does your face look so similar to me?"

Kiana tilted her head: "Haven't you guessed it, who am I?"

Recalling fragments of random dreams she had seen in that dream space, even though it was vague, the figure of Herrscher with a flaming sword burning the sky, overlapped with the figure of this girl.

But...

This made Kiana very dizzy.

"This is impossible... How? Aren't you only in my dreams!?"

Kiana just laughed, and answered her question with a light smile.

Seeing Kiana starting to arrange flowers again. Kiana, who couldn't stand all these unanswered questions, finally opened her mouth.

"Can you help me? You are very strong, you can definitely beat him!"

She shook her head: "The only one who can help you is yourself, Kiana."

Getting the answer she didn't want. Kiana, who felt her whole body screaming in pain, could only bite her lower lip tightly.

"But... I'm weak..."

"You are strong, trust me."

Kiana stopped arranging flowers, and she looked at Kiana with a serious look.

"Do you know why I can become this strong?"

"Because I carry all their hopes. All the dreams they gave me. You can also be strong like me. Because you also carry the hope of all of them."

"So, believe in your own potential."

Kiana became doubtful.

"But how?"

"Isn't the answer always right before your eyes?"

Look in the direction Kiana is pointing. Kiana realized that there was her own Key of Radiance stuck not far from the Key of Radiance belonging to the person next to her.

The way to differentiate them is also quite simple. Her Key of Radiance only has one Herrscher gem, and the other has four Herrscher gems on the sword.

Through the dream fragments she got, Kiana vaguely knew how she got these four Herrscher gems, and how powerful she was at that time.

But....

Doesn't this mean...

"If you become a Herrscher of Flamescion like me, then you can defeat that guy."

Kiana looked at the girl next to her with a wary gaze.

"Being a Herrscher? Sounds pretty good. But Thea really seems to hate it."

As a person who could feel the emotions of her other self, Kiana had already realized that Thea had a very deep hatred for this thing when she entered the Sea of ​​quanta.

Even though this divine key weapon was given to her by her sister, she was still confused as to why she suddenly hated it. Kiana just believed that Thea would never hurt her.

So in that case, there must be something wrong with this sword that made Thea hate it so much.

In another sense, the white-haired girl next to her also had problems.

"You can refuse, however this is your decision. I won't force you."

Tried to sit up, and looked at the girl next to her with a helpless look. Kiana took a deep breath, and she braved herself.

Don't trick me anymore, I'm not a child who can't tell what's right and what's wrong. What price do I have to pay for this power?"

Kiana was silent for a moment, then she smiled slightly:

"[Clever girl.]"

Feeling that Kiana already knows her identity as the fake Kiana. [Kiana] just closed her eyes quietly, not caring whether her true identity was revealed, or not.

"[What about your life?]"

"Okay, that easy."

Accepting a deal with the devil. Kiana got up from where she was sitting, and she walked towards her Key of Radiance.

Seeing her sword stuck into the grass, as if it was waiting for her to draw it again. Kiana took a deep breath, and she held the sword handle tightly.

"[Aren't you afraid?]"

"Not really."

The flower field around Kiana started to burn slowly. White flower petals surrounded her and formed a battlesuit that was exactly the same as the [Kiana] in front of her.

Feeling her strength increase many times. The flower crown on her head also burned, as if crowning her as the new Herrscher.

"[I thought persuading you to become a Herrscher would be very difficult. Can you tell me why you accepted it?]"

Kiana smiled confidently: "If you really want to take my life, then you have to get through my guardian angel first!"

After Kiana finished speaking, the starry sky above their heads suddenly turned a bright purple color.

The entire world shook like an earthquake, as if someone was furiously attacking the world barrier.

[Kiana] didn't raise her head, and instead she was attracted by the stigmata that was on Kiana's body at the moment.

She could feel that the stigmata had a very strong resonance after Kiana succeeded in becoming a new Herrscher.

"[I see, you deliberately invited her here by taking advantage of the connection between the two of you. I was caught off guard.]"

"[But, it seems like you still don't understand the consequences of what you've done.]"

"[As one example, aren't you afraid of your sister's anger after returning home? Hasn't she taught you that you shouldn't accept gifts from strangers?]"

Kiana snorted: "Hum! Sister Thea once taught me that when you receive a gift, you must be grateful. But if the intention is not good, then just hit it and run!"

"[....Along with the gift?]"

"Of course! This is called compensation!"

[Kiana] narrowed her eyes while smiling gently.

"[Okay, then just consider this as compensation from me for deceiving you. In any case, my goal has also been achieved.]"

Kiana laughed: "Hehe~ then thank you for the gift. I will talk to big sister later so I can lighten your punishment~"

Sitting on a field of white flowers, and watching each other carefully. Kiana, who was covered in fire petals, slowly disappeared from her standing position.

"CRACK!!!"

When Kiana had left this place. the sky began to crack like glass, and the shaking of the earthquake also grew bigger.

"WILL OF HONKAI!!!!!"

"GET BACK MY SISTER!!!"

"OR YOU WILL DIE WITH ME TODAY!!!"

The angry screams could be heard clearly throughout the earth.

The moon hanging in the sky, began to slowly become a blood red color like a demon.

"[Kiana, you would probably never guess how angry your big sister is right now.]"

She took a deep breath.

"[You don't know how important you are to her.]"

"[For her, you are...]"

Before she finished speaking, the entire world cracked, and the world she lived in, shattered overtime under an extremely dominating force.

She sighed.

"[She's really angry.]"

"[Kiana, you are really in big trouble now.]"
