Chapter 276: "Previous Era"

The figure of the small child entered the carriage while looking around her curiously. Seeing it from a different perspective, for some reason, Thea felt very nostalgic.

The little girl continued to mumble.

"I thought I could meet the grown-up Kiana. It's a shame."

Little Thea-No, it should still be called K-423 now, sighed in disappointment.

The silent train started to move, and the two of them looked for the right seats.

K-423 sat on the right of the carriage, and Thea also sat next to her.

Perhaps due to overlapping spatial movements, K-423 couldn't see Thea's figure so close. If she studied the power of the Herrscher of Void a little deeper, perhaps she could penetrate this layer of paper.

But for now, K-423 still thought that she was the only one in this train.

"By the way, Otto won't appear will he?"

"Example like now right? This sight, makes you miss doesn't it?"

"Well, it looks like Otto won't be coming."

....

Thea: "...."

Seeing the figure of a little girl who couldn't stay still, and jumped here and there like a monkey in heat, made Thea start to doubt herself.

Was she that talkative before?

"Take a deep breath... Exhale... Inhale... Exhale... Don't panic."

Watching all the jokes K-423 made, and suddenly seeing her was like pressing the restart button, sitting back in her seat politely. Thea glanced at her, and she saw K-423's small hands clenched tightly into fists.

The body of the little girl next to her began to tremble.

If think about it carefully, K-423 might be the first time ridden this train.

Can go back to the past and change all the tragedies that exist. Of course that will make you feel very anxious about the future you will change.

Seeing K-423 trembling like a frightened deer, made Thea sigh helplessly.

"You don't need to worry."

"Yeah, you're right... wait... WHO'S TALKING!?!?!"

The little girl opened her eyes wide, and she looked around her frantically.

K-423: "Kiana is that you?"

Thea: "Guess what?"

No matter how much K-423 tried, she would not be able to see the figure of Thea currently sitting next to her.

Apart from the very high level difference, Thea also currently does not want to reveal herself here.

Thea stroked K-423's head gently, and the little girl began to puff up her cheeks in displeasure.

"Illusion? Did you use the Feather of Fenghuang Down on me to disturb my consciousness?"

"Why don't you want to be seen?"

"Are you Kiana?"

"Or you might be the 'me' that exists in the future?"

"Mama Cecilia?"

....

A series of questions were asked, but Thea had no intention of answering them.

She just stroked K-423's head nostalgically, and enjoyed teasing herself who currently still had no name.

"Stop pet my head! I'm not a kid anymore!!"

Unable to take it anymore, K-423 started shaking her head frantically, willing the invisible hand to leave her head.

Not wanting to disappoint her, Thea pulled her hand back with a helpless laugh.

Turns out she used to be really cute.

"I think we should say goodbye here."

Can feel the condition of this overlapping space slowly starting to get out of control. Thea knew that K-423's journey would reach her destination.

Thinking back to the suffering she would experience in the future, and all the sadness she had experienced, Thea pulled K-423 into her arms.

"What..."

K-423 froze.

"You are a miracle, don't give up on yourself."

"Trust your friends... Trust them."

If she had trusted everyone, and told everyone her plans, then none of this would have happened.

Thea still blames herself for not succeeding in protecting Kiana.

"In the future, take care of yourself, don't make everyone worry about you."

"... And also..."

"Protect Kiana for me."

Knowing that all these words were useless, and only existed to encourage herself. Thea hugged K-423 tighter.

Finally, when the train began to sound loudly, and the space between the two of them was about to part. Thea whispered softly.

"Ich liebe dich~"

K-423's figure immediately disappeared from her arms.

The train carriage became quiet again.

was silent for a moment, and shook her head helplessly. Thea, who finally gave [Gift] to K-423, returned to look for her seat again.

Different from the subway train she first took, the Cosmic juggernaut has a very spacious carriage area, and the seating is a very luxurious sofa.

In this spacious carriage, now there was only Thea alone.

Seeing the clock on the wall continuing to move backwards, Thea also closed her tired eyes.

"This journey will take a while. I'm going to sleep for a moment."

Closing her eyes tightly, the Cosmic juggernaut continued to speed through time and space, with Cocoon of Finality continuing to stare silently at the train passing through it.

Year 2000...

Year 1950....

Year 1500....

A century before Christ...

.....

Continue to move backwards for more than 50,000 years, and return to the previous era. The cosmic juggernaut still hasn't stopped, and it continues to move backwards in time.

Theoretically, the man-made stigma embedded in the human body first appeared after the Herrscher of End counted down to the destruction of the earth.

The first stigma bearer was Adam Kaslana, Kevin's son with doctor MEI.

This should also be a benchmark for Thea to return to the past. However, now that Thea is using the Cocoon of Finality as an anchor point, this limitation is no longer necessary.

Thea returns to a time before humanity's war against Honkai began.

That year, the Flame Chasers still lived peacefully like ordinary people....

That year, a miracle came to earth, with the blessing of the moon and stars....

That year, the stage of fate's tragedy had yet to begin.

Of course, this has its own consequences. The change in entropy is large enough to mean that Thea can no longer maintain her full strength. However, the stigma that is her origin in these times still does not exist.

Using the last of her power, Thea locked one of the woman from the Kaslana family, and she used her Honkai energy to rewrite the stigma on her body.

In the hospital bed, on a night full of stars, the girl who had almost died due to a serious illness, opened her eyes again.

Kaslana's signature blue eyes turned purple.

"It worked."

January 1, the previous era of civilization.

She has arrived at her destination.

Time to find Elysia, The Herrscher of Origin.
