A confident tone. A blood-red glow.
After stabbing Kallen in the back with a single sword strike, Kiana pulled the Judgment of Shamash free again.
It was the sound of a blade being drawn out of flesh. Blood gushed from Kallen's back like a fountain.
For a moment, the air was filled with blood.
Perhaps because of the area involved, this backstab had not been done with a small knife or a longsword, but with the Judgment of Shamash.
The width of that greatsword was frankly rather absurd. When it pierced through Kallen's body, the wound it caused could only be described as horrifying.
After being stabbed by Kiana like this, Kallen's current condition looked especially gruesome.
In fact, if Kiana had been a little more ruthless, she might even have cut Kallen cleanly in half at the waist.
However, the Kallen in front of her was one of her own. A backstab was enough. If she really bisected her, the next part of the script would not be able to continue.
Besides, that was only one way of putting it.
Kallen was an Emanator of Preservation, and she also possessed the skill All-Things Adaptation. Being backstabbed by Kiana like this was still manageable. If she really died instantly from this, that would honestly be a little too pathetic.
Even so, at this moment, Kallen had still lost.
After all, the Judgment of Shamash was a Key of Destruction. Although its attribute had now been changed to Destruction, in essence, it could still be considered a form of Honkai.
And Kallen had not built up much resistance to that particular attribute.
If one had to say, she had accumulated a little from Welt.
However, Welt was also a Pathstrider now. Therefore, given Welt's scale, he had only raised Kallen's resistance by about twenty percent.
A low groan escaped Kallen's throat. Blood spilled from the corner of her mouth and dripped down her chin.
"You actually… came back?"
She did not turn around, but still asked in confusion.
That was right. Kallen was slightly surprised.
Because she truly had no idea how Kiana had escaped from Aha.
There was no helping it. Although Kallen was a max-level account with extremely high training, these Emanators were ultimately not real small fries.
Despite Kallen saying she would kick them around like small mobs, once all these people gathered together, even Kallen had to get a little serious.
Therefore, after Aha took Kiana away, Kallen had not paid attention to that side at all.
Moreover, after going through a round of battle, Kallen herself had already consumed no small amount of strength. After that, she still had to fight Hua and Mobius in the arena.
Honestly, she was a little tired.
Kallen turned around with difficulty.
That movement even tugged at the wound in her chest, causing blood to surge out again and stain the front of her clothes dark brown.
She gritted her teeth, the veins on her neck bulging slightly.
In an instant, their eyes met.
And Kallen and Kiana, who were essentially the same person, finished sharing information in that instant.
Damn it.
After learning the details, Kallen suddenly felt a little like jumping off a building.
So Aha really had not sold her out!
One had to say, although she did not know what kind of story had taken place between those two Aeons, Aha and Akivili truly had been good brothers.
Aha had said he would help her trap Kiana, and he really had trapped Kiana.
It was just that after Aha kidnapped Kiana, another Aeon entered the stage, and that was what caused Kallen's rollover.
That was right.
The Aeon of Destruction had entered the stage.
Not long after Kiana was taken away, this Aeon, who had been observing for a long time, actually attacked Aha.
Under Nanook's attack, even Aha had no mind to keep paying attention to Kiana.
And so, taking advantage of the clash between the two Aeons, Kiana also seized the opportunity and returned to the battlefield.
For a moment, Kallen gained a clearer understanding of her own position.
Although, judging from the current situation, among all the max-level accounts, Kallen was the one who had done the most operations and caused the most explosive incidents.
But if it really came down to strength, everyone was actually more or less the same.
However, if they set strength aside, there was another very painful factor to mention.
Connections.
That was right. Among all the personas, Kallen had the worst connections!
If one had to say, among the max-level accounts, the one with the best connections was probably Cecilia.
Although in terms of personal relationships, Cecilia only had Yaoshi behind her.
But one Yaoshi was already enough!
If an Aeon was willing to laugh and joke with you, you should already be secretly delighted, let alone one who practically wanted to fight for you the entire time.
And this was also why Cecilia had not appeared during this major event.
There was no helping it. Kallen could stab Kiana. She could even stab Mobius. If she was in a good mood, she could even whip Fu Hua's corpse.
But Cecilia alone was genuinely impossible.
Even if Cecilia herself did not care, if Kallen really dared to poke a few holes into her, Yaoshi would probably jump out the very next second and fight her to the death.
And not only that, even if one did not compare her to Cecilia—
Mobius and Kiana were almost the same. These two personas were way too popular.
Not only did they both have Aeons willing to help them, their personal relationships were also very good.
Was she the only one everyone hated?
Well, if she was hated, then so be it.
After all, as a villain, being hated meant success.
Kallen paused, then added as though supplementing her previous words,
"Besides, this isn't the first time."
Very quickly, Kallen reacted to the current unexpected situation.
If she was going to act, she had to act the whole way through.
She picked up Judah again, trying to counterattack.
However, faced with this attack that was practically a dying counterblow, Kiana did not hold back either.
She raised the Judgment of Shamash once more.
"Shamash, unleash!"
In an instant, as though she had fallen into madness, Kiana swung the greatsword in her hand.
That heavenly fire, like the flame of a god, immediately set the entire Pier Point ablaze.
Not far away, Mobius and Hua were also startled by this attack.
Although they were not within the core range of the strike, they were still not far from it.
This time, they would more or less be affected by the aftermath.
Fortunately, neither of these two Emanators was simple, especially Mobius.
Mobius immediately acted. In the next instant, the earth dragon authority corresponding to Yuque's Kun'gang Sovereign surged forth, and a defensive barrier rose before the two of them, blocking the attack.
As for Kallen, things were far less pleasant.
At such close range, she had nowhere to retreat.
Still, she had been leveling for so long after all.
So, relying on the instinct of her body, Kallen still found the most appropriate timing and reduced the damage she received to the minimum.
But even so, the heavenly fire that touched her body was still extremely unpleasant for Kallen.
It was no exaggeration to say that this full-power heavenly fire strike was almost touching the level of an Aeon's blow.
"…Cough, cough!"
Likewise, Kiana, who had used this strike, was not in good condition either.
Just like Kallen, flames also began burning on Kiana's body.
The power of the Judgment of Shamash was a double-edged sword. It would not distinguish between user and enemy. The moment Kiana unleashed that slash, she herself was exposed to the backlash of the heavenly fire.
However, unlike Kallen, who had received an Abundance blessing but could not conveniently use it here, Kiana could openly heal herself.
Kiana closed her eyes and sensed the power of Abundance within her body.
The scene shifted.
Almost at the same time the heavenly fire burned through Pier Point, intense tremors came from the entrance to the subspace.
Herta was the first to sense that fluctuation.
"Go!"
Without the slightest hesitation, she turned and rushed toward the exit of the subspace.
Everyone else reacted at the same time.
No matter what Qlipoth's earlier words had meant, the changes coming from the battlefield no longer allowed them to keep wasting time here.
One after another, the group passed through the passage connecting the Preservation subspace to Pier Point.
However, the instant they stepped out of the passage, everyone stopped at almost the same time.
Because they saw that heavenly fire.
It was a heavenly fire that pierced through all of Pier Point.
At this moment, it was burning across the land in an almost apocalyptic fashion.
The color of the flames was pure gold, and mixed within them was an aura that made one's heart tremble.
That was Destruction.
Power from the Path of Destruction.
Even from so far away, the temperature released by those flames made the skin of everyone present feel a burning sting.
Everyone froze in place.
Because that was not something they could touch.
Even as Emanators, they did not dare approach heavenly fire of this level lightly.
The slightest carelessness would mean being reduced to ash.
This was everyone's judgment of the current situation.
Herta's gaze was now locked firmly onto that heavenly fire.
She recognized that power.
Back at Herta Space Station, Herta had seen what the Judgment of Shamash looked like when unleashed.
"This aura… it's Kiana."
"Did Kiana come back?"
Herta murmured.
The moment she said this, the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Everyone froze.
Who did she just say?
Kiana?
That Lord Ravager who had previously been kidnapped by Aha, the Aeon of Elation?
She could actually come back?
Although no one said anything, under such circumstances, everyone had already guessed what Kiana's ending might be.
In a situation like that, should she not have already been silenced by Aha?
But now, it seemed she had come back and resumed the fight?
"Madam Herta."
Taravan's gaze suddenly shot toward Herta.
"Are you saying that this strike was caused by Kiana?"
Taravan cared more about this question.
Herta slowly nodded.
In an instant, everyone's expression changed.
Taravan's eyes widened, and his usually composed face was filled with disbelief.
Kiana had truly escaped from Aha's hands?
How was that possible?
That was an Aeon!
Even though Kiana was a Lord Ravager, how could she possibly retreat safely before an Aeon-level existence?
However, the heavenly fire before his eyes left no room for doubt.
Because that was true power of Destruction.
Moreover, that flame was simply like a power wielded by a god.
Although they were only watching from afar, everyone felt that deathly threat.
Without question, against an attack of this level, touching it meant certain death.
"It seems…"
"The situation of this battle has undergone a fundamental change," Taravan said in a low voice.
In an instant, he gained some new thoughts regarding Kiana and Herta Space Station.
Although this Lord Ravager currently stood on the side of justice, the IPC had never truly let down its guard against her.
Otherwise, back at Penacony, they would not have invited Kallen and said they would help suppress Kiana.
And now, looking at the power this Lord Ravager possessed, Taravan believed the IPC might need to act a little more low-key in the future.
Thus, everyone's gaze now fell on the heavenly fire that was gradually dissipating.
They were waiting.
Waiting for the moment when that sea of flames burned out.
After an unknown amount of time—
Perhaps several minutes, or perhaps only a few dozen seconds—
The heavenly fire that pierced heaven and earth finally dissipated completely amid its final embers.
And the instant the flames disappeared, everyone finally saw the scene before them clearly.
Everyone sucked in a breath.
The entire Pier Point was gone.
The ruins that had once still retained broken walls, and the land that had once been covered in countless remnants, now had nothing left.
Everything had turned to ash beneath Kiana's heavenly fire.
In the empty depths of space, only two places were exceptions.
It was like when a villain in an animation released a world-ending ultimate move but still needed a place to stand afterward.
At this moment, among the ruins of Pier Point, two small pieces of foundation had remained completely intact.
On each of those two pieces of foundation, one person was kneeling.
One was Kiana.
The other was Kallen.
At this moment, both of them were in terrible condition.
Kiana's clothes had also been burned rather badly, and the Judgment of Shamash in her hand was planted diagonally into the ground beside her, as though that greatsword was her final support.
Her body was covered in burn marks. The wounds scorched by the heavenly fire seeped with faint blood-red light and looked horrifying.
Kallen's condition was even worse.
As the one who had been attacked, the wound where the Judgment of Shamash had pierced through her heart was still seeping blood. The terrifying penetrating wound on her chest had, after being burned a second time by the heavenly fire, turned into a black-red hole.
Her whole body was half-kneeling weakly on the ground, Judah in her hand resting crookedly across her knee.
Neither of them had any strength left to continue fighting.
They remained there, less than ten meters apart, with neither making another move.
This scene looked like two warriors who had fought to the very last moment on a battlefield and, after exhausting all their strength, had finally fallen together on the same field.
"…The opportunity is here."
Taravan's gaze abruptly sharpened.
Almost immediately after seeing Kallen and Kiana's condition clearly, he exchanged a look with Diamond.
The instant their eyes met in the air, they reached a tacit understanding.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Kallen was exhausted.
And Kiana had likewise lost the ability to fight.
If they moved now, it was entirely possible for them to take down this Witch of Nihility, the one who had brought disaster to the galaxy, in one fell swoop!
This would be the IPC's achievement.
Admittedly, Kiana had absolutely made a tremendous contribution to peace across the galaxy.
But the IPC was not bad either!
"Go!"
Taravan moved first.
His figure became a streak of golden light, flying straight toward Kallen.
Diamond followed closely behind him. The two Emanators of Preservation, one ahead and one behind, approached the center of the battlefield at the fastest possible speed.
Everyone else also reacted at the same time.
Although not everyone wanted to claim credit for the finishing blow, everyone rushed toward Kallen.
However—
Boom.
An incredibly familiar power suddenly descended when they were still a hundred meters away from Kallen.
That was the power of Preservation.
A barrier formed from Preservation rose before everyone with a thunderous crash, completely separating them from the area where Kallen and Kiana were.
Everyone's steps were forcibly stopped in that instant.
"This is—!"
Diamond's expression changed dramatically.
Because he was far too familiar with this power.
This was the power of the Path of Preservation.
Moreover, it was power from the Aeon of Preservation Himself.
"What is going on?!"
Herta's expression also changed.
She suddenly raised her head, her pupils filled with shock and suspicion.
No.
This was not Kallen's power.
Originally, Herta had thought Kallen had held back some strength and was now going to settle things with Kiana.
But after sensing it carefully, Herta realized something was wrong.
Although Kallen walked the Path of Preservation, the damage she had just suffered was visible to the naked eye. In that condition, she absolutely could not have enough strength left to release a defense of this level.
If it was not Kallen, then there was only one possibility.
"Don't tell me…"
Herta's heart sank sharply.
If the one who had sent down the power of Preservation at this very moment was not Kallen herself, but Qlipoth…
Did that not mean Qlipoth intended to make a biased call?
No, seriously, were You still going to keep helping Kallen?!
Everyone's expressions became uglier.
If Qlipoth acted now and isolated Kiana and Kallen together inside that barrier, then with Kiana's current condition, she would have no ability to resist.
"Damn it…"
Herta gritted her teeth.
She was worried.
Back in the subspace, she had not yet fully digested what Qlipoth had said.
And now, Qlipoth had sent down a barrier at this critical moment.
Was this to protect Kallen, or was He doing something else?
"Taravan!"
Herta abruptly turned toward the IPC Emanator.
However, Taravan's expression was also pained.
There was no helping it. No matter how much the IPC believed in Preservation, when it came to a matter of their own survival, they still had to have some judgment of their own.
For a moment, no one could speak.
They could only watch helplessly as that amber barrier enveloped both Kallen and Kiana.
And they could do nothing.
Inside the barrier—
All the sounds from outside, the anxious shouts and angry questions, were completely blocked by the barrier.
At this moment, the inside of the barrier was strangely quiet. Only the breathing of two people could be heard.
One rapid and weak.
One slow and heavy.
It was quiet enough that only the breathing of the two could be heard.
Even so, the two people inside the barrier did not communicate.
But that was not because they were afraid the people outside would discover something suspicious.
It was because even speaking was difficult for them now.
After all, in that exchange just now, both of them had gone all out.
The two remained silent like that.
After an unknown length of time, their gazes finally met.
No words were needed.
In the instant their eyes met, the information belonging to the same origin completed its final exchange between the two of them.
Fine. Kiana lay down. Her mission was complete. The rest would be handed over to Kallen's performance.
After another long silence—
Kallen moved.
That battered body, in a way no one could have expected, slowly stood up.
Her legs were trembling.
Her wounds were bleeding.
Every movement of standing up seemed like she was fighting against the will of her entire body.
But she still stood.
Outside the barrier, when Herta and the others saw this scene, their hearts leapt into their throats.
"She… stood up?"
This was not a good omen. If Kallen could stand, then although her injuries were already severe, she still had the possibility of killing Kiana and escaping.
And if Kallen escaped today, then when she made a comeback one day, would they truly still have another chance to defeat her?
However, beyond everyone's expectations, Kallen did not finish Kiana off.
She did not walk toward that defenseless opponent lying on the ground.
Instead, she turned around and faced another direction.
She slowly raised her right hand, which had almost no strength left.
Then, in the next second—
A cat appeared.
It was a cat so black that it almost blended into the deep-space background.
It appeared out of thin air above Kallen's palm, as if it had always been there from the very beginning and had simply not been visible before.
Its body was not large. In fact, it looked no different from an ordinary housecat.
But—
The instant it appeared, the space inside the entire barrier trembled.
That aura, even though everyone was outside the barrier, still made the pupils of everyone who sensed the black cat's presence suddenly constrict.
As Emanators, everyone present had more or less truly beheld an Aeon before.
And the level of the aura on that cat…
Was actually also at the Aeon level.
That seemingly ordinary black cat was, in essence, an Aeon-level existence.
That was right. This was what Kallen had obtained from Destiny's Slave after reaching a deal with Elio on the Astral Express.
An ordinary Terminus.
The black cat slowly walked in front of Kallen.
It raised its head and looked at Kallen with its golden eyes.
Kallen lowered her head and looked at it as well.
Their gazes met in the air.
One person.
One cat.
Neither said anything.
Then, Kallen moved.
She once again summoned Judah at her side.
That weapon, which had followed her from beginning to end, was now covered in cracks, but under Kallen's control, it still erupted with its final light.
Light spears condensed again atop Judah.
Those spears formed from pure Path power slowly took shape in the void, flashing with dazzling radiance.
And this time, those spears were not aimed at Kiana, nor at any external enemy.
They were aimed at Kallen herself.
And at the black cat before her.
"..."
Hiss!
The light spears stabbed out.
That incomparably dazzling light spear pierced through both Kallen and the black cat's bodies at the same time.
Blood splattered.
Kallen's body trembled violently.
The black cat also let out a mournful cry the instant the light spear pierced through its body.
When Kallen's consciousness returned once more, she found herself standing in a pitch-black space.
Endless darkness stretched in all directions. There was no sky, no earth, and nothing that could serve as a point of reference.
Only darkness.
However, Kallen knew where this was.
This was the Path-space of Nihility, and also the place Kallen had once visited after receiving her persona correction.
If one had to describe it, this was where the dream had begun.
Back then, she had just stepped onto this road of no return, and she had not yet known what exactly awaited the Kallen persona ahead.
Likewise, this was also where she would make her exit.
Kallen lowered her head and looked at herself.
The wounds on her body were still there.
The penetrating wound left behind by Judah's light spear, the burn marks caused by the Judgment of Shamash, and all the injuries brought by Kiana's final strike remained clearly on her body.
At this moment, in this space belonging to Nihility, she was merely a person covered in wounds and approaching her end.
At that moment, a voice rang out.
"Oh my, oh my, little Kallen, you look really miserable."
Hearing this, Kallen slowly turned her head.
In the darkness, a figure slowly emerged from the void.
It was a person wearing a mask.
Aha, the Aeon of Elation.
However, Aha did not look particularly relaxed right now either.
Beneath that mask that always carried a smile, several deep cracks could faintly be seen.
And although His aura remained vast, it was clearly much weaker than before.
Obviously, His earlier battle with Nanook had also made Him pay no small price.
Aha walked up to Kallen, looked her up and down, then shook His head.
"Ah, I really am sorry about that~"
"That dark-skinned fellow really has no martial ethics. A dignified Aeon of Destruction actually launched a sneak attack!"
When Aha said this, He still seemed somewhat indignant.
"He attacked directly while I wasn't paying attention. I was having fun playing with that white-haired little sister at the time, and then Nanook disrupted everything. I lost focus for just a moment, and she ran off."
The more Aha spoke, the angrier He became.
"Tell me, what kind of thing is that?"
However, faced with Aha's complaints and apology, Kallen did not respond at all.
Because she could no longer speak. Truly, she had reached the point where she could not speak.
The injuries on her body made even remaining standing extremely difficult, let alone opening her mouth.
She merely looked quietly at Aha with eyes that had already begun to lose focus.
Aha fell silent.
He and Kallen looked at each other in the void for a long time.
Then, the smile on His mask slowly receded.
All the frivolity, all the playfulness, all those tones that sounded like jokes vanished at this moment.
"Kallen."
Aha directly called her name.
"I will ask you only one thing."
Aha looked at her.
"The reason you did so much…"
"Betraying Preservation, spreading Nihility, making a deal with Finality, even going so far as to plunge the entire galaxy into terror."
"The purpose of everything you did was to use Finality…"
"And arrive here?"
Kallen did not answer.
Because she could no longer answer.
But her eyes gave the answer.
In those pupils that were about to lose their focus, Aha saw something.
It was not madness.
It was not obsession.
Nor was it so-called ambition.
What existed there was only a faint silence.
As though from the very beginning, from the moment the first piece of this chess game had been placed, she had already foreseen this day.
And everything, all of it, had only been for the sake of reaching this place.
For the sake of walking into this Path-space of Nihility in her current state.
The next second, this Path-space that had originally been so dark that one could not see one's fingers suddenly lit up.
Aha's figure abruptly froze.
He turned His head.
At the source of that light, in the center of this place of Nihility that should have contained nothing at all—
A tree appeared.
It seemed as though it had stood there since time immemorial, appearing in this barren Path-space.
The name of this tree was self-evident.
The Imaginary Tree.
The tree that carried countless worlds, connected countless Paths, and pierced through the causal structure of the entire galaxy—
The Imaginary Tree.
Originally, the existence of the Imaginary Tree had only been a hypothesis.
It was a cosmological structure hypothesis proposed by the first member of the Genius Society, Zandar One Kuwabara, and widely accepted by the academic world.
However, a hypothesis was ultimately only a hypothesis.
Before today, aside from the Aeons who might have stepped into certain unspeakable domains, no one had ever truly seen this tree.
But Kallen was different. For certain special reasons, Kallen knew very clearly that this tree truly existed.
Then, Aha slowly turned His head and looked at Kallen once more.
At this moment, Kallen no longer paid any attention to Aha.
She simply dragged her battered body forward, slowly walking toward the Imaginary Tree.
