Chapter 216 The Last Communication Across Time and Space (1)
……
Current civilization, the moon.
During a video call with Mei, Kiana suddenly fell into a "coma." The violent fluctuations of Honkai energy directly destroyed the communication equipment, leaving Mei terrified and panicked.
Mei then urgently contacted Bronya and Black Seele, who were far away in the world bubble. Unable to wait to meet up with them, she went to the moon alone and hurriedly found Kiana.
What unfolded before Mei was an incredibly fantastical scene.
The broken princess slept peacefully, but her power intertwined with other forces, turning the surrounding world into a canvas, wantonly scrambling to disrupt its colors. Sky and earth were inverted; abysses loomed overhead, stars dappled the ground beneath. Ancient figures walked along modern streets, while colossal rays soared through the sky…
It seems that the past, present, and future are intertwined, blurring the boundaries.
Mei hesitated for a few seconds, then resolutely approached Kiana to investigate the strange phenomenon on her body—
Then, as if her soul had been ripped from her body, she collapsed softly beside Kiana. A fallen princess and a "prince" from the Land of Lightning slept soundly, facing each other. Beside them, skyscrapers grew atop giant trees, and massive warships were planted diagonally in the ground... everything remained the same.
It looks quite harmonious.

Yun Fuyu reached out to Xier, and in her palm was a strand of white hair.
Seele was surprised: "This is... Kiana's?"
Yun Fuyu nodded: "Yes, it's the 'token' she gave me."
Seele tilted her head and asked, "When did this happen?"
Yun: "At all times—or rather, just now."
In this kind of communication, time has lost its meaning. When Yun Fuyu contacted Kiana, she immediately pulled out a strand of her hair and gave it to him, clutching her head and crying out in pain, while instructing Yun Fuyu to contact Seele as soon as possible and give her an explanation!
Seele calmed herself down, and the inner turmoil subsided. After a moment, she grasped Yun Fuyu's hand, her consciousness merging with his into that fantastical sea of time.

As the two stepped into the room, Kiana was leaning against the "wall," gazing beyond the River of Time. Yun Fuyu followed her gaze... and there seemed to be a young Himeko.
But that's not the point right now. Yun Fuyu immediately cut off Kiana's "sight" to prevent this God of the End, who had just begun to understand the laws of time, from causing trouble.
Kiana reluctantly withdrew her gaze, glanced at Yunxi and the other two, and then flew into a rage!
"Yun Fuyu, what exactly are you and He trying to do?! Seele, are you just going to let yourself be manipulated like this?!"
However, in the old father's eyes, he only felt that his daughter was being coquettish, and he didn't feel guilty at all.
Seele quickly took Kiana's arm and gently told her about recent events and what she knew: Alicia and the God of Gods had conspired to create a grand scheme to have a "person" wield the power of the Sea of Quanta and clash with the "person" who wielded the power of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, thus disrupting spacetime and causality and making the greatest possible effort to rectify regrets...
Seele is the chosen "vessel." Currently, Seele carries one percent of the authority and power of the Sea of Quanta, making her far stronger than Kiana in terms of pure violence. Even with Kiana's initial understanding of time, she can only barely match Seele in terms of authority.
The weakest of all: ? ? ?
She stared in disbelief, looking left at Seele and right at Yun, before finally uttering slowly, "After gaining self-awareness, you've really gone too far..."
Without the help of the supreme god, how could Seele have wielded such immense power? Now, both supreme beings have been corrupted by "humans," which may not seem harmful at first glance, but who knows what the future holds?
After all, the Tree of Imaginary Numbers or the Sea of Quanta are not the final cocoon. The former is the basic framework and rules of the universe, while the latter is the test/ordeal that humanity must endure. The former represents the stability of the cosmic order, while the latter is the "villain."
Kiana wielding the power of the Cocoon of the End is at most equivalent to giving the cosmic edifice a new facade. But someone wielding the power of the Imaginary Tree or the Sea of Quanta is shaking the very foundation of the cosmic edifice.
Coupled with the series of tragedies caused by the Shadow of Darkness and the current disruption of time and space, Kiana couldn't help but swear.
Yun Fuyu's face darkened: This is a huge mess, but the purpose is to save the previous civilization, so Yun Fuyu has no choice but to take the blame. He is Him, yet he is not Him; this blame has come out of nowhere.
So far, aside from obtaining "access to modify the world's underlying programs," the "tampering index record table," and a small portion of "memories," Yun Fuyu has received no power or information from Him. He knows a great deal of what he should know, but much more remains unknown.
This is a really unfair situation to be blamed for.
Seele weakly raised her hand: "This precedent was set by Alicia, so it's not entirely Ayun's fault..."
Kiana, hands on her hips in anger, exclaimed, "So this is what you call 'Ayun'?"
Seele became even more defiant: "Seele means, Clouds and Rain... is that alright...?"
Yun Fuyu shook his head and sighed, then grabbed Kiana's arm and said, "Little tail, do whatever you want, but don't bully my Seele!"
"Little tail...you dare call me that?!"
For some inexplicable reason, this nickname gave Kiana a double feeling of being patted on the head by an old father and being given a gentle nickname by a beautiful girl (Mei). She couldn't help but get goosebumps and put on a reproachful expression, her face turning red...
Seele stood there, staring at them... Should she cry or laugh?
On one hand, it's "I was here first," and on the other hand, it's "He said Seele is 'my Seele'..."
Kiana and Yun Fuyu realized their actions were inappropriate, shook each other off, and glared at each other!
In the midst of the stalemate, a purple-haired girl suddenly appeared.
Mei, clad in the armor of the Herrscher of Origin, stumbled and staggered her way here. Her power was far inferior to that of the End, and even "advancing" along the path opened by Kiana still expended a great deal of strength and energy. By the time she landed, she was almost unconscious.
Kiana quickly helped Mei up. Yun Fuyu frowned, stepped forward, conjured a chair for Mei to sit down, and then lightly touched Mei's brow with his fingertip.
Like a withered tree sprouting new buds, the turmoil of time was smoothed out, and the vitality within Mei's body brewed and surged forth, quickly returning to normal.
"Hmph, you know what's going on!"
Yun Fuyu's relationship with Seele, coupled with his identity as the Imaginary Tree, meant that Kiana didn't dislike Yun Fuyu, but she still found him extremely displeasing! Even now, after he helped heal Mei, Kiana only let out a soft snort.
Mei didn't know much and had never seen Yun Fuyu. At this moment, Mei, who had just recovered, heard Kiana's hum and opened her eyes to look at Yun Fuyu—then, she showed a somewhat flustered expression of surprise.
It looks just like... that old friend.
Mei glanced at Seele beside the boy and guessed that this was "Yun Fuyu". She couldn't help but laugh and cry at the relationship between them.
But suddenly, she froze, looking at Yunxi and the other person again, comparing their appearances... Finally, Mei couldn't help but speak:
"That... Yun Fuyu, right?"
Yun Fuyu nodded: "It's me. I recognize you, you're Mei."
He also noticed Mei's lapse in composure and added, "If you don't know anything about me, you can ask Kiana for details. I'll save myself the trouble of introducing myself."
"No, that's not what I meant." Mei steadied herself and said seriously, "Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like...?"
"Alice?" Yun Fuyu answered quickly, "I was born because of Alice, so naturally I bear a resemblance to her."
(After all, they are of different genders; otherwise, they might have been five points similar.)
“No, it’s not that.” Mei shook her head and said seriously, “In my opinion, you have three parts of Alicia’s appearance and three parts of Seele’s appearance.”
cloud:"……?"
He turned to look at Seele with a bewildered expression, and Seele looked at him with the same bewildered expression, then nodded hesitantly: "It seems... so."
In my memory, his appearance has never changed; he has always seemed to bear a resemblance to Seele.
However, if Seele + Alicia, after a series of reactions, become the soul of Yun Fuyu, and they share a slight resemblance, it seems quite normal.
(In other words: if the genders were the same, Yunfuyu♀ might be a combination of Alicia and Seele, each resembling the other five-tenths. But now that the genders are different, saying that Yunfuyu♂ resembles someone else three-tenths is not easy to discern; in fact, it's a completely different face.)
Seele was used to this situation. Her little brain started working, and she quickly came up with a possibility: "Perhaps you weren't like this before, and only had a slight resemblance to Alicia. But since Seele became a part of your soul, the changes in you have spanned all timelines, which is why you are the way we see and know you now."
She had a slight doubt again: "But speaking of which, how did Seele become your soul? Was it during the time of the spacetime distortion, or when we were banished from Erinis?"
Yun Fuyu subconsciously avoided the question, without making any connection to it.
Mei and Kiana, feeling utterly exhausted, thought: "Seele, Seele, have you really become that guy's little slave (scratch that) little lover? Two of your friends from the modern world are right here, and all you're thinking about is that guy..."
