The hands that once held them were still very warm. Kiana looked at the ceiling, speechless for a long time.
Teacher Jizi, one day, I will bring everyone back.
I secretly made up my mind.
But determination could not change the status quo. Just when Kiana was cheering herself up, the sound of glass breaking was heard outside the door.
"You uh..."
It’s Xiaokong’s voice!
Kiana, whose body had not yet recovered, rushed out of the room dragging her exhausted body, and immediately saw a middle-aged man holding Kong in his hand with a dagger pointing at her neck.
What was even more difficult for Kiana to accept was that she had seen this man before, at the ranch.
Grayshu's father and Su Jue's uncle.
"how come……"
A strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart, and Kiana once again recalled the curse left by the red-haired woman.
When Kiana discovered Moth, Moth naturally saw her as well.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a sinister smile, and his eyes were filled with resentment.
"You are here indeed, Herrscher of the Void."
"……"silence.
"I sensed something was wrong with you the day Xiaojue brought you here. I should have guessed earlier that you were the demon who killed thousands of people."
Taking a deep breath, Qiana cleared the confusion in her eyes. She looked at Mo Mo and said calmly, "I know why you are looking for me, but this child is innocent."
However, after Kiana said this, Mo Mo's already bloodshot eyes widened even wider, "Innocent? Have you ever thought that my daughter is innocent too?"
In addition to Teacher Jizi, the death of Gray Shu is a pain that Kiana will never be able to erase in her life, and it is also a responsibility that she can never escape. But she can't stop here, and she can't let more people get hurt.
"Whether it's revenge or hatred, please direct it at me alone. I won't shirk my responsibility, but please don't hurt other children."
"What a joke! You, a Herrscher, actually care about the life and death of ordinary people. If the World Serpent hadn't told me the truth, I would never have thought that such a young girl could be so vicious. My daughter died in your hands, and Xiaojue is now unknown whether she is alive or dead. Even the entire Sky City has been destroyed by you!"
Mo Moth, who was professional in throwing mud and adding fuel to the fire, angrily threw all the blame on the World Serpent, and the dagger in his hand was one step closer to Kong's neck.
"Fortunately, my wife left Tianqiong City in advance, otherwise she would have been killed by you."
Kiana paused, her eyes filled with complexity.
Maybe he was right, and he was just a monster who only knew how to kill.
For a moment, Kiana was slightly shaken.
And at the moment she lost consciousness, Mo E pulled out his pistol and shot directly at Kiana.
A gunshot rang out, blood flowed down Mo Mo's shoulder, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, Raven fell from the sky.
"Mo Mo, let her go!" With suppressed anger in his voice, Raven pointed his spare pistol and the Seven Thunders of Purification at Mo Mo.
Mo E said nothing, but his grip on Kong's hand did not loosen at all.
"Raven, this is my revenge!" He gritted his teeth and looked at Raven with cold eyes, like a threatened poisonous snake.
But Raven didn't look at him well. The children here were her Achilles' heel. If Mo Mo dared to make a move, she would definitely crush them to ashes.
"I say again, let her go. This is the right given to me by the Lord."
"Raven, you should point your gun at the Herrscher of the Void, not me."
"I will take responsibility for the Herrscher of the Void. You are just a peripheral cadre. Your mission has ended by bringing me here. If you leave now, I will not hold you responsible. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being rude."
The atmosphere between the three was tense and heavy, as if water was about to drip out. Finally, under the threat of Raven, Mo Moth could only stare at the two with resentment and let go of his hands.
Xiaokong broke free from control and immediately ran behind Raven.
Mo E's eyes were filled with hatred, as if he wished he could cut a piece of flesh off the two men. His voice was cold and eerie.
"I hope you won't regret it."
After saying that, he turned and left. Just as Kiana was about to chase him, Raven pointed his gun at her.
Chapter 210 Krypton Life
"The Herrscher of the Void."
"World Serpent."
After Mo Mo left, only two people were left confronting each other on the scene.
For Raven, Kiana was the one who caused her family to be broken up. When Raven had worked hard for most of her life to save money and her life was about to get better, she was pushed into the abyss. This kind of hatred is difficult to resolve.
The same is true for Kiana. Everything the World Snake did in Sky City is a dark act that can never be erased. Su Jue's mother, Gray Xiu, all died because of the World Snake. Not to mention that so many ordinary people died in the experiments of the World Snake and died in the collapse caused by them.
When the Raven pointed its gun at her, Kiana also constructed the Spear of the Sky. Looking at the two people who were so tense, Xiaokong, who had just escaped from the threat, suddenly became anxious.
"Teacher, Sister Kiana is our friend. She saved us." She tugged at Raven's cloak, but there was no response.
So she grabbed Kiana's clothes again, wanting her to stop. "Sister, this is our teacher. She is not a bad person."
"Xiaokong, come back soon!" Seeing Xiaokong dare to run to the Herrscher of the Void, Raven was a little nervous. According to the intelligence, the Herrscher of the Void is now extremely unstable. Although the children are all incomplete stigma awakeners and have a higher resistance to Honkai, the Herrscher means destruction.
When Kiana was about to listen to Xiaokong's advice and temporarily lay down her weapon, Raven subconsciously thought that Kiana was going to threaten the child like Moth did, and pulled the trigger in his hand.
Hearing the gunshot, Kiana subconsciously wanted to protect Xiaokong, but she failed to avoid Raven's gunshot, and blood splattered from her arm.
"Teacher, what are you doing?" The surprised Xiao Kong was a little unbelievable. The children around who heard the gunshots and rushed over also happened to see the raven attacking Kiana.
But Raven's eyes narrowed. Kiana was now injured and the child was not with her. This was a perfect opportunity to capture her.
She took out the Yellow Spring Staff that she had used once and activated it again. Along with invisible interference ripples, the Herrscher core in Kiana's body was immediately disturbed.
However, unlike other Herrschers, Kiana has dual cores in her body. If disturbed, she will not only become weak but also unstable.
Dark cracks appeared in the air, and the instinct of the Herrscher began to resist interference. After Mei took away the Conquest Gem, Kiana's Houkai, which she had suppressed with great difficulty, showed signs of losing control again.
Click.
The surrounding pillars showed signs of tearing. Realizing that her situation was not good, Kiana covered her arms and jumped down from a high place to avoid hurting the children.
The raven followed closely behind, leaving the children staring at each other in bewilderment.
It was not until Delta, who had just returned from outside with supplies, came back that everyone seemed to have found their backbone.
"Sister Delta, the teacher and Sister Kiana seem to be fighting. Can you find a way to stop them?"
"..." Delta was speechless. How come these guys were harder to take care of than the kids in the orphanage? She had to do everything herself. But she didn't refuse. Instead, she felt a sense of responsibility. She was considered a big kid now.
When Delta also rushed towards the direction of the battle, everyone in the nest finally breathed a sigh of relief, and some of them had already begun to guess what gifts the teacher would bring everyone when he returned this time.
But these children did not notice that in a hidden corner, a pair of bloodshot eyes were staring at them.
……
The abandoned city was filled with the sounds of collapse. Kiana's strength was suppressed by the Staff of Yellow Springs, while Raven was able to use the Seven Thunders of Purification with all his strength. As a result, Kiana could only try her best to escape.
Her body was still unstable, and if it exploded completely, it would definitely affect others. She was too cautious and naturally could not exert her strength.
But Raven didn't know this, she only knew that now was the best time to capture the Herrscher of the Void. As for the cracks around Kiana caused by the interference of the Yellow Spring Staff, she regarded it as a sign that the Herrscher was out of control. Thinking of this, she became more determined to capture her.
"You can't escape." Seeing the distance widening, Raven raised the Seven Thunders of Purification in the form of a sniper rifle in his hand. The strong electromagnetic force gathered on the metal bullet in the center, and the crosshairs were aimed at Kiana's back.
Nourishes—
The electromagnetic sniper rifle didn't even make a sound, and by the time Kiana discovered it, it was too late.
The bullet pierced through flesh and blood, and a dull sound rang in Kiana's ears.
She stood there, looking at the gray-haired boy who blocked the bullet for her.
Su Jue frowned, he almost missed it just now.
He took a look at the bullet that had penetrated his chest, and calmly pulled the bullet out of the wound. With the sound of high temperature burning, the wound was burned and the bleeding stopped. If it weren't for the greatsword he created to block the first impact, the situation would have been even worse.
"Su Jue..."
Exhaling a breath, Su Jue did not look at Kiana, but stood in front of her and faced the raven that was chasing her.
"How dare the World Serpent people show up here?"
Raven did not reply, but he was very uneasy in his heart. A third Herrscher had appeared. What happened in Changkong City? Did all the Herrschers appear in groups?
Moreover, the burning aura on Su Jue made Raven immediately recognize that this gray-haired boy was the Herrscher of Flame who turned Sky City into flames.
The careful raven immediately noticed the cracks on Su Jue's body that could not be hidden, which was a sign of him losing control.
The World Serpent's database fully records the destructiveness of the Herrscher of Fire and the instability of the Herrscher itself. Now, with a Herrscher of Space on the verge of losing control and a Herrscher of Fire that could explode at any time, even Raven is a little scared.
"Under the guidance of the snake, there is no place that can stop the snake from moving forward. It is rather strange that in such a small city like Changkong, Herrschers appear one after another. I am somewhat curious about what Tianming is doing here." Feeling a little panicked, Raven tried to remain calm.
After the battle in Sky City, all forces knew that Heaven's Will had captured the Herrscher of Flame. Now that the Herrscher was here, many things were self-evident. But the support from the World Serpent would take at least another day, so she had to hold the two of them back.
"Really? It seems that the World Snake is really confident." The temperature around him immediately rose. Su Jue created his own flaming sword and prepared to fight with Raven. The opponent was coming towards Kiana. If he could not repel him, he would not be able to live peacefully in the future.
But just as he was about to start a fight, Kiana grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook her head at him.
"Su Jue, don't fight anymore. Your body can't fight anymore."
Unlike Kiana who was excessively eroded by three cores, Su Jue's decline came from his lifespan. Using Honkai energy would accelerate the decline of his lifespan, which is irreversible.
From now on, every battle he fights is a life-saving move.
Feeling the girl's pleading behind him, Su Jue fell silent.
Chapter 211: The Destruction of Crow's Nest
The situation was at a stalemate for a moment. Raven looked at Su Jue vigilantly and secretly took out his communicator, preparing to contact Gray Snake for support.
But before her communication could be broadcast, a loud explosion was suddenly heard, and thick smoke mixed with flames rose into the sky, dyeing the already gloomy sky extremely dark.
pat.
The communicator fell to the ground, and Raven looked in the direction of the explosion, her hands shaking uncontrollably. The firelight was reflected in her red eyes, just like the eternal fire that once burned in the Siberian wilderness.
The nest, the place where all her hopes were placed, was now being engulfed by a raging fire. The fragile board house was torn into pieces like white paper in the explosion, just like her mood at the moment.
Something happened to the kids.
There was a buzzing in her mind, and Raven couldn't even tell if it was an illusion. No longer caring about the Herrscher of the Sky, she ran towards the nest like crazy, praying that everything was just a nightmare and the children were safe.
Kiana, who noticed the explosion, also felt nervous and immediately pulled Su Jue to follow.
The boards used to build the shed were burned red by the flames and fell into the sea below, filling the air with a large amount of water mist. The path that originally provided access for the children had been completely destroyed and the steel frame structure was in danger.
But the raven didn't care about his own injury at all, and rushed directly into the sea of fire, constantly calling the children's names.
No one responded to her, not even a cry or a request for help, until she rushed into the center of the fire and saw that all the shanty towns had collapsed. She could no longer contain the panic in her heart.
Tears rolled down Xiora's cheeks as she ran towards the burnt house, grabbed the hot iron plate with her palms and lifted it up until a blackened human-shaped charcoal fell into her eyes.
"What happened here?" Kiana, who had returned here, was stunned. Less than half an hour after she and Raven left, the explosion occurred here.
Letting go of Su Jue's hand, Kiana also rushed towards the shanties that had not been completely burned down, trying to find possible survivors.
Only Su Jue stayed where he was, looking towards the direction of Xicheng District thoughtfully, no one knew what he was thinking about.
The search was fruitless. Even the place where the children might have escaped was turned upside down by the two men, but they still found no more traces. What made them even more desperate was that there were charred bodies in the places crushed by the collapsed buildings.
There were not many building materials in the shantytown, and they were quickly burned up in the fire, leaving only blackened ruins.
Water dripped onto the burning ashes, and sobs rang out in the ruins. Raven and Kiana, the two people who had just been fighting to the death, were now like helpless little girls, their hearts filled with despair. Su Jue picked up a broken metal part from the ground, which was part of a small robot.
"Mark Rabbit." Having been in contact with Xiaokong for so long, Kiana naturally recognized that this was the guiding robot that had always been with her. She grabbed Su Jue's hand, stood up from the ground, and reached out to touch the wreckage of the machine, but Raven was faster than her and took the wreckage away directly.
With the gun pointed at the two men, Raven had somewhat lost his mind after suffering such a severe blow.
"It's all your fault, you damn Herrscher. You've ruined my life and killed those children." Her fingers trembled as they pulled the trigger of the Seven Thunders of Purification. The Third Divine Key seemed to sense its master's anger and turned into a pistol surrounded by red lightning.
Su Jue frowned and stood in front of Kiana. Having just arrived, he had no idea what was going on, but if Raven wanted to kill Kiana, he had to get past him first.
Just when Raven was about to take revenge, dull footsteps appeared on the roof, and a man with a crazy look walked out of the ruins.
"I told you you'd regret this, Raven."
The raven trembled all over when he heard the voice, turned around in disbelief and looked at his companions.
"Mo Mo, it's you!"
