172 Chapter 172: "A Regret And A Hidden Danger"

In the stigmata space...

Different from the stigmata room where the Kaslana families gather, here, it is the definition of a prison.

Thea has absolute control here.

Meanwhile, the prisoner who entered her prison was the person she knew and the person she hated the most.

"[I think I've been caught. You're getting stronger, Thea.]"

Will of Honkai still spoke in an emotionless tone.

"...."

Giving a reply to its answer in the form of moving the space curve around Will of Honkai, and making the space curve distorted towards it, a very dense singularity finally created.

The space around the Will of Honkai in the eyes of the three-dimensional creature, cracked like brittle glass, and the sound of the explosion echoed throughout the stigmata space endlessly like a star exploding.

Will of Honkai, who felt that Thea was increasing her power, making this singularity have a pressure of millions of tons, could only tilt its head in confusion.

Even though its body was currently covered in spidery cracks that were spreading everywhere, the honkai energy that it controlled, attached all these tiny pieces together very stubbornly.

Will of Honkai spoke.

"[Don't listen to their whispers. Don't you already feel something is wrong with your emotions?]"

"...."

Not talking anymore, because it's not needed. Will of Honkai could hear Thea sighing heavily, and the pressure of the surrounding space instantly dropped drastically.

It seems...

Thea had regained consciousness.

"You seem to know my condition better than I do." Thea looked at her enemy with an emotionless gaze too.

"[The observer always sees everything clearly.]"

"Then can you tell me what my current problem is?"

Will of Honkai nodded its head easily: "[The desires and memories of the Kaslanas accumulated tens of thousands of years will only be poison to you. No matter how much you delay, in your fragile concept of humanity, the poison will turn you into the same as them.]"

In another sense, the hatred that Thea felt at this time was not what she wanted.

This is the hatred of Kaslana's descendants that has been building up for thousands of years.

Purge the honkai.

"You mean, you want to tell me that I have to give up my humanity, and transform into another creature if I want to be free?"

"[It depends on what you want. You are very lucky because you already have a ticket to become a high-dimensional being from the start. It's just your concept of humanity that is hindering your growth.]"

Speaking sincerely, and ignoring Thea's face which was getting darker, as if she wanted to kill it. In the end after a long silence, this time Thea started talking about the main topic.

"What do you want from my sister."

Will of Honkai remained silent for a long time like a statue, and when Thea's patience was about to run out, Will of Honkai's body cracked even more.

"[I am prometheus, but I am not her either.]"

"[I follow the rules that have been made. That is the definition of the rules of my life that I cannot change.]"

"[I... Just want to live.]"

Suddenly felt like she understood what the Will of Honkai meant. Thea's eyes lit up, and she felt she had a chance to cooperate.

"What you mean by living is being free from rules just like humans, right? I can help you!"

"[You can not.]"

"How can you know if you haven't tried it?"

Will of Honkai smiled innocently.

"[...You and I, we are the same, but also different. Conceptually, the meaning of my existence is far from what you can imagine right now.]"

"[Rules must also be followed. Unless, there is someone who can replace me.]"

Hearing what Will of Honkai said. Thea's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and her killing intent instantly rose to a new level.

She knew that Kaslana's will was currently influencing her thoughts. However, she did not reject it.

Because, she was currently really angry.

"That's why you targeted my sister."

"[....]"

Before Thea really went crazy. The fragile body of the Will of Honkai, instantly turned into flying dust.

Even though it looked like Its had been caught, to a high-dimensional being like her, a single entity's will being trapped and dead, was not that important.

As the name suggests.

Will of Honkai.

As long as the Cocoon of Finality still exists, her will also exist. Tied to her so deeply that she could no longer be separated.

The two of them were destined to be enemies.

Because she wanted to live, she killed.

A very simple truth.

Thea: "...."

She clenched her fists tightly.

Sanatorium, Schicksal headquarters, floating island on the Mediterranean sea...

Inside an all-white hospital ward. The patient, who was currently lying on the bed, was trying to open her eyes with difficulty.

During this process that tested her will, she could hear an extremely familiar voice, faintly entering her ears.

"Thea-chan seems really angry. Searching for all her memories by forcefully breaking through the mental barrier, this is really sadistic."

"...Then, can she be cured? I don't think Saintess Thea would be so cruel to her sister. There must be a reason!"

"Maria-chan, don't worry too much~ Since she sent me here, she has already shown her concern. Regarding dreams, I also have some small experience in this matter."

"Look~ she will wake up~"

....

Opening her eyes, and was greeted with two beautiful women looking at her intently. Kiana slowly adjusted her eyes to the light of the sun, and she immediately grabbed the hand of the woman closest to her excitedly.

"Mama, why are you here? Where is this place?"

Hare smiled gently: "That's right, I am your mother~ Regarding the second question, aren't we already in the hospital now?"

"...I've returned to the real world?"

"Yes, don't worry anymore. All your test are now over. Kiana-chan, come here and hug mama~"

Seeing Hare, pretends to be Cecilia in front of her. If Maria had not been told by Saintess Thea that this person was not the real Cecilia, Maria might have believed what she just said.

After all, her tone of voice and face were really very similar.

Damn, she almost got tricked.

"Kiana-chan, try calling mama one more time~"

"Eh, what's wrong mama?"

"Kyaa~ Mama's daughter is very cutest~!"

Maria: "...."

Inhaling, and clenching her fists, suppressed the urge to punch this shameless woman in the face with all her might. Maria turned to the exit door.

"Then you two just take a moment. I'll call Saintess Thea---"

"That's not need, I'm already here."

"S-Saintess Thea!? Since when were you here?" Maria was surprised.

Thea waved her hand, and didn't want to answer her question for now: "Maria, please take this woman out. I want to talk to Kiana alone at this time."

Maria saluted firmly: "Understood. Miss Hare, could you follow me to go outside for a moment?"

Hearing her name being called, Hare pouted: "Maria-chan, please don't learn bad things from Thea. My name is Misteln Schariac, we are one family, so you should go by my real name~!"

"Oh... Okay, Miss Misteln..."

"Yes, like that~! Maria-chan, let's go to the cafeteria together! I heard there are special edition muffins being sold there~!"

"Eh? Cafeteria? Right now? Why!?"

Maria was stunned by the very sudden change in topic. She felt that her brain was currently unable to keep up with the latest developments.

"Don't think too much, come follow me!"

Let Hare drag her out of the ward. Maria was confused, still not knowing who had the task of bringing other people out of this room.

She or her?

Why was she dragged?

Maria: "... (O▽O?)"

Hearing the sound of the door closing tightly, after Maria and Hare left, the entire room suddenly became very quiet.

Kiana didn't dare lift her head to see Thea's face at this time.

The increasingly cold atmosphere in the ward told her all.

She could only fidget with her fingers, and gulp her saliva with difficulty, waiting for her judgment to arrive.

"Kiana, do you know what you did wrong this time?"

"No... I don't know. But if you tell me, maybe I'll know." Kiana muttered in a very small voice, as if she was complaining.

Kiana could hear Thea take a deep breath. She moved, and her footsteps began to slowly approach her bed.

Stand next to the bed, and then sit next to her slowly. Kiana, who was waiting for her big sister's scolding, suddenly felt her head being stroked gently.

Kiana raised her head, and she was greeted with teary eyes, filled with worry.

"Sorry Kiana, I couldn't protect you."

"I am really, really sorry."
