I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [207]

Within the World.

Schicksal Headquarters, Air Terminal 3.

The massive [Sanctuary Barrier] enveloped the entire area, and within it, a luminous cocoon flickered on the ground.

It pulsed with near-infinite Honkai Energy.

Theresa and the others watched as Cecilia and Siegfried, upon touching the cocoon, lost consciousness and drifted into a deep slumber.

Yet, none of them panicked.

They simply waited—anxious yet hopeful.

...

Countless layers of pure white wings enclosed the space like an impenetrable barrier.

An echoing voice resounded in Siegfried and Cecilia’s ears.

"I lost control and killed my father—Siegfried Kaslana."

"I destroyed my entire era, slaughtering everyone I loved and everyone who loved me."

"I have witnessed countless deaths and annihilated countless civilizations."

"No matter what I do, I can only follow this fate."

"Life and death—life is merely another form of death."

"I shall bring equal destruction to all existence, for I am Honkai."

"I am Finality!"

Cecilia and Siegfried exchanged a glance.

Yet, within these words, they heard no cruelty—only sorrow and pain.

Their daughter from a parallel world…

No one had ever understood the grief and suffering she carried.

And so, she bore it all alone, becoming the Herrscher of Finality.

Cecilia hesitated for only a moment before resolutely swimming forward through the countless white wings.

The overwhelming Honkai Energy clawed at her mind and body, attempting to consume her.

But she knew—if she hesitated now, if she turned back here—then this daughter before her would be lost forever.

She would never allow that.

She refused to accept that fate.

"Cecilia."

A voice—calm yet filled with warmth—reached her through the firm grip of her husband’s hand.

Siegfried Kaslana met her gaze and nodded solemnly.

Their hearts were aligned.

And so, with no further hesitation, they pressed forward—resisting the corrosive Honkai Energy.

The layers of radiant wings pushed against them, hindering their movements.

But they did not falter.

They did not know how much time had passed.

They did not know how many barriers they had crossed.

Finally—

They reached the final layer of light.

There, curled up like an infant, was Kiana Kaslana.

Siegfried and Cecilia exchanged one last glance.

Then, together, they reached out—

And parted the final set of wings.

A voice—mighty and boundless—suddenly boomed throughout the endless white space.

"What do you intend to do?"

"How dare you trespass upon the domain of Finality? Fools!"

An overwhelming force lashed out, sending Siegfried and Cecilia flying backward without any resistance.

By the time they steadied themselves, they found themselves standing at the very edge of the radiant wings once more.

Yet—

Without hesitation, they advanced again.

Time blurred.

And once more, Kiana’s voice resounded.

"You are reckless."

"You dare defy me? You believe you can change the will of the Herrscher of Finality?"

"I am the child of God. My will is not something you mere humans can command!"

And again, they were flung back—sent beyond the veil of wings.

For the third time, Cecilia and Siegfried shared a glance, nodded, and marched forward once more.

In this space, time and distance held no meaning.

They walked this path over and over, suffering the same fate countless times.

But every time, as they advanced, they spoke—

Each word whispering into Kiana’s heart.

"Kiana, we love you."

"Kiana, you are Mommy’s precious little girl."

"Kiana, you are your father’s greatest pride."

"Kiana, don’t be sad."

"Kiana, don’t cry."

"Kiana, none of this is your fault."

"Kiana, we will never blame you."

"Kiana, if you cry, Mommy and Daddy will cry too."

"Kiana, if you smile, Mommy and Daddy will smile too."

"Kiana, you are the best. I’ve always known that."

"Kiana, you are kind. I knew it the moment I held you in my arms."

And each time—

The barrier of wings grew thinner.

The force repelling them grew weaker.

They did not know how many times they had repeated this.

They did not know how much time had passed.

But they never stopped.

They simply kept whispering words of love, of understanding, of acceptance.

Until finally—

They reached her once more.

Curled up like an infant, she still slept.

But this time—

There was no voice rejecting them.

No force pushing them away.

Cecilia and Siegfried exchanged one last glance—

And stepped forward together.

Her delicate face—her expression—

Tears stained her cheeks, dried yet unforgotten.

Her brows furrowed, her lips trembling—locked in an endless nightmare.

Cecilia took two steps closer.

Kiana flinched, curling into herself even tighter.

"Should we wake her?"

Siegfried’s voice was gentle.

"The [Sanctuary Barrier] might not hold much longer."

Cecilia shook her head softly.

"No… Let her sleep a little longer.

"She needs rest.

"And a beautiful dream."

With that, Cecilia knelt down.

She gently cradled Kiana in her arms—

Holding her as a mother would hold her child.

And then—

She began to sing.

"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight,"

(Tonight, the snow glows upon the mountain…)

"Not a footprint to be seen."

(Not a single footprint remains…)

"A kingdom of isolation,"

(A kingdom of solitude…)

"And it looks like I’m the Queen."

(And I stand here as its queen…)

"The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside,"

(The wind howls, mirroring the storm in my heart…)

"Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried."

(I tried to hold it in, but only heaven knows how much…)

"Don’t let them in, don’t let them see,"

(Don’t let them in, don’t let them see…)

"Be the good girl you always have to be."

(Be the good girl you were always meant to be…)

Her voice was soft, soothing, filled with love.

Kiana’s furrowed brow slowly relaxed.

Her body—so tightly curled in on itself—eased into her mother’s embrace.

And then, in the gentlest whisper, she murmured—

"Mama… Papa… I miss you… I love you…"

Time passed in silence.

Siegfried, drawn by Cecilia’s voice, found himself lost in the moment.

Then, as the lullaby faded—

He turned to look at them—

And saw—

Only Cecilia, kneeling there.

Kiana was gone.

In her hands—

She held nothing but a single, pure white feather.

Silent tears fell down her cheeks.

"Kiana—"

Her voice was small.

Yet, it carried an immeasurable sorrow.

Siegfried felt her grief—

Yet he could do nothing.

He stood frozen, unsure of what to say.

Only after a long silence did he kneel beside her, waiting for her sobs to quiet.

Then, softly, he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"At least… she called you ‘Mama’."

Cecilia nodded.

Tears falling freely.

Then, without warning, she threw herself into his arms.

"Just hold me, Siegfried… Just for a little while."

"…Alright."

Siegfried said nothing more.

He simply held her close.

...

Within the golden [Sanctuary Barrier], sixty seconds had already passed.

Theresa, who had been standing tall moments ago, was now sitting on the ground, panting heavily.

Maintaining the barrier had drained almost all of her strength, leaving her barely able to endure.

Yet—she could not afford to let up.

Everyone present could clearly see it—the pure white wings of light encasing Kiana were glowing ever more brilliantly, radiating an overwhelming amount of Honkai Energy into the air.

If she were to dispel the barrier now, the resulting catastrophe would be beyond imagination.

At the very least, all of Europe would suffer the largest Honkai outbreak in history.

All she could do was pray.

Pray that Cecilia and Siegfried would be able to reach her—to bring back the real Kiana.

Time passed.

Every second felt like a year.

Theresa’s vision blurred.

Sweat poured from her body, drenching her like she had been submerged in water.

And finally—

She collapsed forward, falling straight into Himeko’s waiting arms.

"Sorry…"

She shut her eyes in exhaustion, murmuring softly.

"No, you did great, Theresa," Himeko’s steady, deep voice reached her ears.

"You did it. We won."

"…Huh?"

A shiver ran through Theresa’s body.

Her eyes snapped open, and she quickly looked around.

And then she saw—

The wings of light encasing Kiana were dissipating—dissolving into pure Honkai Energy particles, scattering into the sky like glittering dust.

At the same time, Cecilia and Siegfried, who had been lying beside her, stirred awake, their expressions filled with deep emotion.

"Mmhh…!"

Freed from her cocoon of light, Kiana Kaslana stretched her curled-up body, slowly unclenching her hands.

Then, she rolled over, spreading out all four limbs like she was trying to claim the entire deck as her own.

"Mm… ma… mm… ma…"

She even pouted, making strange noises, as if she were munching on something round and sweet.

"Can’t eat anymore, Mei…"

She mumbled in protest.

Cecilia and Siegfried, whose faces had been solemn just moments ago, suddenly found themselves at a loss.

Siegfried covered his face with his hand.

Cecilia, on the other hand, was far more direct—she reached out and pinched Kiana’s nose.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three—

"Uwahhh—!"

Kiana bolted upright, her movements swift and agile.

Her drowsy, unfocused eyes swept around the scene.

"Huh? Why is everyone here?" she muttered groggily.

"I just had the weirdest dream.

"I dreamed I became a Herrscher, and all these memories and knowledge suddenly appeared in my head…"

"It wasn’t a dream."

Cecilia smiled at her daughter—at one of her daughters—and nodded in satisfaction.

"You really did become a Herrscher.

"But your father and I pulled you back."

"…Wait."

Kiana blinked.

"So, that means… I’m a Herrscher now?"

Excitement flashed across her face.

Even though her mind was filled with countless memories of Herrscher destruction—of how they had devastated humanity—

She also remembered something else.

She remembered how humans had used love to overcome the will of Honkai.

She did not feel any instinctive fear or rejection toward her new Herrscher powers.

Of course, she also remembered scenes where Herrschers had lost control—where they had succumbed to their own strength, mindlessly destroying everything until they wiped out humanity itself.

But Kiana Kaslana never dwelled on such thoughts.

She hated overthinking things.

And as long as it wasn’t her, then it wasn’t her fault.

That was the simple way she saw the world.

Her heart was pure—filled only with courage and the desire to protect others.

So, with a carefree grin, she waved away the sorrow lingering in the air.

"Alright, alright, stop being sad now, Dad, Mom."

"Whether it’s me, or the other Kiana, or the other half of me—"

"None of us want to see you cry."

"This idiot child is actually making sense for once, Cecilia."

Siegfried smirked, giving his wife a knowing glance.

But—

Deep inside his heart, something felt off.

Something felt wrong.

His gaze swept across everyone around him—

At Himeko, cradling an exhausted Theresa.

At Raiden Mei, still anxiously supporting Kiana.

At Welt Joyce, standing tall with his usual pride.

At Cecilia, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes.

At Bronya, standing beside Seele, arms crossed.

Everyone.

Every life.

All of them… happy.

Siegfried rubbed his eyes.

For a moment, memories—different memories—flooded his mind.

Hadn’t everyone…

Suffered?

Hadn’t they endured immeasurable pain—faced endless despair, crossed the boundary of life and death, and given their all to fight against Honkai?

Why did everything feel…

Too perfect?

Too good to be true?

But then—

"Well…"

Siegfried exhaled and ruffled his daughter’s hair.

"Maybe this… isn’t so bad."

At the end of the day—

Happiness is all that matters.
