Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 142 True: zzz

"Alicea..."

"What's wrong? Don't you miss me after so long?"

"First of all, it's true that we haven't seen each other for a while, but couldn't you find a better time to come see me? I'm doing very delicate work right now."

"But shouldn't something this simple be a piece of cake for you?"

Kiana sighed and said, "Sometimes I don't know if you really don't know or if you're just pretending. Shin was a demon god in his previous life, and an ordinary body can't contain a complete demon god consciousness. Most importantly, this time I used the genes from Mei and Shin's original body."

"Herrschers and Demon Gods are not the same kind of beings. Creating a body from scratch using the genes of both is unprecedented. Finding a balance between them is not as simple as you think."

"That's true, but isn't what's in front of you a finished product already??"

Kiana wanted to argue that it was just good luck and that it would take a lot of time to experiment and collect data—things that would be laughable—but the fact was, she succeeded on her first try. This was the umpteenth time; whenever she explained how difficult something was for her, her incredible luck would always come along and prove her wrong.

Kiana has mixed feelings about her incredible luck. In her previous life, her luck was comparable to that of a certain Norse noblewoman who had become a god. She was even often teased by that guy, who wondered if she was the reincarnation of that noblewoman.

Now, after being reincarnated as Kiana, her luck has undergone a 180-degree turn, from being an absolute unlucky player to having European royal blood that everyone despises. It is precisely by relying on this somewhat unreasonable luck that Kiana has repeatedly turned the tide and won.

"But Alicia, is there a reason why you came to see me this time?"

"Hmm~? Well, how should I put it? I've come to tell you some good news~?"

"What good news?"

"Your restrictions in the group chat have been lifted. You can now speak freely in the group chat and invite people from your current world to join."

"Permissions have been revoked, which means..."

"Unfortunately, you are the only one whose permissions have been lifted so far; others have only had their muting lifted. By the way, the captain is still under complete ban."

"That's it..."

"Okay, okay, don't be sad. Now comes the important part of this good news, so listen carefully!"

Kiana swallowed nervously, instinctively pricking up her ears to listen.

"First of all, thanks to Su's help, I finally managed to get all my companions out of their cocoons! Secondly, during the salvage operation, Su unexpectedly detected the captain's signal. Don't worry, Kiana, your captain is alright!"

The moment Kiana heard the news, a huge weight lifted from her heart, and tears of joy streamed down her face. At the same time, Kiana secretly resolved that she would find a way to share the power of the Cocoon of the End with the Captain when they met again.

However, Alicia seemed to have seen through Kiana's thoughts, and in order to prevent Kiana from doing anything foolish, she decided to tell Kiana what Su had asked her to tell her right now.

"Kiana, listen up."

Alicia's voice turned serious, causing Kiana to unconsciously straighten her back and listen attentively.

"Although I don't know what you were thinking just now, I think it's still necessary to tell you in advance what Su asked me to tell you."

Su? If I remember correctly, Su's physical body should have already passed away, but his spirit was saved by a high-ranking being. Su seems to be a high-ranking being now, right? Since it's him, I might as well listen to him.

Kiana took a deep breath and said, "Speak."

“Very well, Su asked me to tell you, ‘No matter what your reasons are, Kiana, never think about sharing the power of the Cocoon with others, especially the Captain. Otherwise, Kiana will definitely regret it someday.’”

"Although Su told me that now is not the right time to tell you this, I feel that if I don't tell you now, I might never have the chance again..."

"Never think about sharing the power of the cocoon with others...right?" Kiana pondered the words carefully. "I understand, I'll be careful."

Although she didn't know what Su had seen that prompted Alicia to relay the message, and even specifically mention the captain, Kiana felt that given Su's status, she really needed to seriously consider sharing the power of the Cocoon with the captain.

"By the way, Alicia, haven't you ever thought about seeing the outside world? If I remember correctly, you should have received a reward of having your physical body reshaped, right?"

“That’s true, but Kiana, I am ultimately a person from the previous civilization, someone who has long since died. Although Hua and Gretchen are still alive among my current companions, there are still those companions I found in the Origin Land. The Origin Land is preserved because of my existence. If I leave for too long, I’m afraid the Origin Land will also be assimilated by you. So I will not leave until I find and revive all my companions.”

"Besides, I can talk to them in the group chat! I just didn't expect that after so many years, little Gretchen has grown into such a graceful young lady. I just don't know why Hua still looks the same after all these years."

"Uh... well... I can't really comment..."

Although Fu Hua is indeed no match for Kiana now, the impression Fu Hua left on Kiana by her powerful punches and the "Heaven-Opening Technique" was too deep, making Kiana hesitant to joke around with Fu Hua. Besides, Fu Hua's personality is too mature, or rather, too sophisticated; Kiana simply doesn't have the inclination to joke with an older, more mature person.

"Besides, that personality is too mature! Xiao Shi is much cuter; her rebellious nature makes me think we'd definitely get along!"

"Your 'getting along well' thing isn't just about being affectionate with others all the time and teasing them, is it?"

"Hmm~? Is there a problem? I think beautiful girls should be like this~? If you always keep your distance, it just seems too formal~?"

"Has anyone ever told you that you get along really well with that blond traveler in the group who's always flirting with other people and calling them 'wife' all the time?"

"You mean Ying?"

"if not?"

"Isn't this just natural? Ying and I got along really well. It's amazing that even though Ying and I have never met, I feel like we've known each other for a long time. There's a strange sense of familiarity between us."

That's right! You and her voice actress are the same person! To be honest, Kiana was quite surprised when she found out that the voice actresses of these two were the same person. After all, according to miHoYo's official character design, Luminous's personality is not like Alicia's at all, although in fan creations, Luminous is mostly portrayed as a scumbag.

However, I felt relieved when I thought that Noelle and Qiqi in Genshin Impact were voiced by the same person. Anyway, since the early Traveler's character design was all in the character voice lines, the image of Kiana in the fan-made version that I didn't listen to the character voice lines is completely gone (sad)!

No, no! Now is not the time to think about this. Let's finish what we're doing first!

Kiana then took out the feather she always kept by her side and began to slowly shift her true consciousness. Alicia in her mind naturally understood that now was not a good time to disturb Kiana and did not make a sound.

Before long, his consciousness had transferred into that body, and the feather had officially completed its mission, turning into starlight that scattered with the wind.

Originally, using Feather Dust to transfer consciousness didn't require such a high price. When Fu Hua was on the verge of death, she only needed to activate Feather Dust at its rated power to successfully transfer her consciousness into Kiana's mind.

But it's really different, not only because of her identity as a demon god, but also because the two are not from the same world, and there is always some strange repulsion that causes the energy to be consumed very quickly.

If Kiana hadn't been using her power to maintain the feather all this time, its energy might have been completely exhausted long ago, at which point her true consciousness would have lost its protection and dissipated completely.

The feathers breaking and dissipating now is probably the price of being overworked all this time. Fortunately, the true consciousness has been successfully transferred, and now we just need to wait for the true nature to awaken.

However, before that, perhaps she could try to use the twisted ley lines here to explore more information. With that thought, Kiana connected to the Imaginary Tree.

The first thing to do is to find information about the captain. Fortunately, the twisted ley lines here allowed my senses to break through a certain degree of blockade, and I was able to search for information about other worlds.

Unfortunately, there was no information about the captain within my search range, so it seems I'll have to get it from Alicia later.

After her search yielded no results, Kiana focused her attention and began to travel upstream along the Teyvat time river in search of useful information.

In terms of results, this exploration is very encouraging.

It's no wonder that the laws of nature have fallen into slumber; Teyvat's fate system is so unique.

Teyvat is a world destined for destruction. It all started with the Second Throne's attempt to overthrow the First Throne. Since that devastating war, Teyvat has been shattered.

Not only was it deeply corrupted by the abyss, but even the branches connected to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers were shattered by this war.

It's no wonder that the Heavenly Principles directly used the simple and brutal method of Heavenly Nails to suppress and purify the Abyss. Otherwise, Teyvat would probably fall from the Imaginary Tree before the Abyss was completely suppressed, becoming one of the many world bubbles in the Quantum Sea.

The so-called primordial beings who reversed destruction were actually Fanes, who sacrificed himself, transforming his body into a branch connecting Teyvat to the Imaginary Tree, forcibly fixing Teyvat back to the Imaginary Tree. At the same time, his body fragments transformed into countless Daedric beings scattered throughout Teyvat, guiding humanity on how to survive in this shattered world.

However, this is not a permanent solution; the branches that Phanes transformed into will eventually dissipate over time.

The Shadow Rulers launched the Demon God War to elect seven rulers to govern the mortal world, with the aim of delaying the fall of Teyvat.

To this end, they went so far as to rewrite the ley line system, incorporating everything on Teyvat into the ley line cycle, and issuing the Visions was to select those who were qualified to become Genshin Impacts of the ley line nodes.

Everything is for the sake of maintaining the continuation of Teyvat, but sometimes they do things too absolutely. Anyone who dares to defy the rules set by the laws of nature or anything related to the Abyss will be ruthlessly destroyed.

Countless civilizations have been destroyed in Teyvat's history because of it. The existence known as the Sky Isle is no longer concerned with humanity, but is a machine that only thinks about how to prolong Teyvat's existence.

It rejects all change and all people or things that oppose it, regarding the abyss as its mortal enemy, and all its goals are ultimately aimed at how to keep Teyvat alive.

In Kiana's eyes, such a world is pathetic and lamentable. No wonder her future self chose to become the next Tenri; if she were in Kiana's shoes, she certainly wouldn't stand idly by after witnessing such a truth.

Kiana, back in her original spot, sighed as she looked at the still-sleeping Shin, then glanced around at the space.

This space was formed by the accidental distortion of the earth's veins after they were suppressed by the Heavenly Nails. Over the years, it has gradually been affected by the Heavenly Nails and has gained the power to suppress and purify the abyss.

However, as a result, they gradually developed self-awareness over the long years. Although this awareness was still in its infancy, they were already instinctively hunting.

The reason why Sora and the others accidentally entered this space was due to the resonance between Sora's physique and the strong wishes of Yanfei, Yelan, and Xiao.

After investigating all the intelligence, Kiana contacted Alicia, who was in the Origin Land, and from her, Kiana learned the captain's approximate location.

According to Alicia, Sue accidentally found the captain's location information while searching for Velvi.

After that "traffic accident," the captain and the Herrscher of Knowledge were thrown into their world, the so-called Honkai Impact 3rd world.

But that wasn't their original world; it was a parallel world. There was no more information Su could uncover.

All we know is that the world is still in the process of fighting against the collapse, but whether it is a pre-civilization or a current civilization is unknown.

Although I don't know the captain's specific situation, I now have relatively detailed coordinates. As long as the mission here is completed, I can take the others to the world where the captain is to find him!

Before ending the call, Alicia reminded Kiana to be mentally prepared if she went online now.

Kiana didn't understand what Alicia meant by those words until she tried logging into the group chat and realized what was going on.

Looking at the screen scrolling wildly in front of her, filled with messages all concerned about her, Kiana felt a mix of emotions.
