"I remember, I won't forget~"
Kiana agreed readily.
It wasn't just empty words either.
Suddenly, she glanced at Mobius, who was sipping coffee daintily over there. "How about... you come with me to pick up Jyahnar, Snakey?"
"No! I'm busy."
Ms. Snakey let out a proud, tsundere-like huff.
Which made sense!
Mobius had... complicated feelings about Jyahnar. You could say she was interested, or you could say she wasn't.
But clearly, the only thing that held any interest for her was Jyahnar's body.
Beyond that, she couldn't care less.
So as long as Kiana promised to get her some samples from Jyahnar, she was satisfied.
Even if Jyahnar pranced around right in front of her, she wouldn't pay her much mind.
At most, if she ran out of research materials, her eyes would finally see Jyahnar, and would finally notice her.
Originally, going by Snakey's usual modus operandi, she should've treated Jyahnar as a mobile ingredient depot.
But, well, what could she do?
She might be crazy, but she wasn't stupid.
Whether it was Kiana, or Elysia, or Jyahnar, or, well, anyone else really...no one would appreciate being looked at that way.
And if it were anyone else, maybe she'd risk it.
But with Kiana, or Jyahnar, she absolutely dared not.
Even when looking at Elysia with her "little dove" attitude, the worst Elysia would do was tease her a little.
She wouldn't take it too seriously.
But some people, if you crossed them, it would be downright fatal.
Mobius was no fool. She knew how to tailor her approach to the person. Otherwise! Why would she have moved in so promptly after it was revealed she'd be Kiana's future wife?
Therefore, she was truly, genuinely different from Ruan Mei.
She knew her limits.
Ruan Mei? Not a clue.
She had a bottom line.
Ruan Mei? Doubtful.

Online, on the forums, many felt they were getting brain aneurysms trying to calculate this.
Science?
Bullshit!
Honkai energy can do anything!

[What Would Happen if Jyahnar Charged Directly Towards Us?]
Some educational content creators built mathematical models or simply used 3D modeling with special effects to simulate the scenario in real-time.
Kiana, curious, clicked in to take a look.
It was pretty well made!
Starting from the edge of the solar system, even just a pass-by would tear planets and asteroids apart. Reaching the Earth-Moon system, the moon would disintegrate first, Earth would experience tides, magnetic field chaos, even stalling rotation, triggering all sorts of disasters.
But!
It wouldn't last long.
Because soon after, under the pressure from Jyahnar, Earth would begin to break apart. Without even making full contact, it would already be like tofu.
Completely crumbling.
This was a version slowed down many times over.
Every point, every detail, was clearly visible.
Eden, leaning over the back of the sofa, bent down slightly, nestling close to Kiana in a natural, intimate way, and watched the video too.
Finally, she spoke softly.
"It seems... when you go to pick up Ms. Jyahnar, Kiana, you might need to meet her outside the solar system."
"Probably, right?" Kiana thought about it and seemed to understand.
Even if Jyahnar consciously tried to brake early, it was still nothing to scoff at.
Because trying to decelerate from FTL speeds, a sudden stop wasn't impossible, but Jyahnar definitely wouldn't do that. She simply wouldn't care what happened to the other planets, the other celestial bodies.
Whether her appearance caused any irreversible changes.
Just from the way Jyahnar was charging over now, all sparks and lightning, her momentum made it completely clear.
She was a runaway freight train.
Doesn't matter if it's a car? Or a bridge pylon? Even a cliff face, she'd plow right through.
Would she care about any of that?
Let it be known.
Jyahnar was, by nature, Finality's attendant Honkai Beast.
She was a symbol of destruction itself.
Once she entered the solar system, starting from the very edge, likely all nine planets, even the sun itself, would experience severe upheaval due to her presence.
Gravitational forces might go haywire.
Orbital paths might be disrupted.
And once a deviation occurred, it could trigger a chain reaction, where even a tiny problem could be magnified exponentially.
What then?
Mutual gravitational tearing, even disintegration, collapse. In a better case, just left in tatters. All of that was possible!
And even those scenarios were relatively good.
If any planet happened to be in Jyahnar's direct path, do you think she'd detour? Or just smash right through?
The answer was obvious.
Just think about it.
With Jyahnar's attitude, clutching at every minute and second, desperate to get to Kiana's side faster, wasting even a single second probably felt like disrespect to her.
"How about..."
Kiana pondered.
She looked towards her mom.
Elysia, Mobius, and Ms. Sakura were all here too.
Perfect.
She'd already made a decision.
"I'll set off now? To go pick up Jyahnar."
Theoretically, if planets and star systems beyond the solar system got pierced, torn apart, became casualties of Jyahnar's rush, it wasn't a big deal, as long as the solar system remained unaffected.
After all, in the universe, every moment, stars die, galaxies disintegrate. This kind of cyclical, natural order of things—Kiana didn't want to bother with it.
She just wanted to protect her own little corner, protect the people she loved, the people close to her.
If Earth didn't have her moms and dads, her wives, all the characters she loved, honestly, she wouldn't care if the solar system was affected or even destroyed.
Even if it suddenly, at light speed, entered the disaster scenario of "The Wandering Earth," so what?
If it really came to it, she'd just move.
No big deal!
"Then how many days will you be gone, Nana?" Kiana's mom asked.
She wanted to be mentally prepared, and also tidy up the rooms to welcome the new daughter-in-law.
"If it takes a while... I was planning to go back to our old home in Northern Europe." She had some things to take care of back home.
Though it wasn't anything major.
Even if she didn't go now, she could find another time later.
Or, if she didn't go herself, she could remotely direct her husband to handle things.
She wasn't too worried about it.
"It probably won't take too long, right?"
Kiana spread her right hand slightly, "After all, I can teleport. I'll just warp right over."
She said.
"If it's quick, I might be back by tonight. Maybe even in time for dinner."
"In that case, Auntie and I will prepare more dishes," Sakura said with a gentle smile. Kiana's mom nodded.
