Chapter 34: Desert Sightseers

Void Archives snapped out of his gaze and chuckled a few times, "Overseer Theresa, I'm not the Void Archives you know. I am the Divine Key from another parallel world."

"Is that so?"

Welt Yang stepped forward and reassured the still skeptical Theresa, "I can prove that this isn't the Void Archives you're familiar with, Overseer Theresa..."

As he spoke, Welt's fingertips flickered with a faint light, and Void Archives responded by brightening up as well, fully displaying the core of the reason to the nearby Little Bronya.

Little Bronya was taken aback. The Herrscher's ability confirmed that Welt's words were true, and she could fully control Void Archives at any time if she wished.

For the Void Archives of this world, this power should be in Otto Apocalypse's hands.

"Overseer Theresa, Mr. Welt isn't lying."

"Oh my! I don't like being called a Overseer! It's all Otto who forced me into this!!" Theresa went into a frenzy for a while, and Judah's vow reached out with two golden chains to comfort her. The girl hesitated and asked, "...how did I do as a Overseer in the future?"

"You did quite well, Lady Theresa," Raiden Mei said sincerely.

"Sigh... I don't have much confidence..."

At this moment, someone couldn't hold back anymore. She embraced Theresa with both hands and moved the girl away from the camera, "Mei!"

"-Kiana!"

Raiden Mae looked at the charming figure in the projection and was momentarily infatuated.

Seeing this, Carole turned her head and whispered to Adam, "Wow, it's the first time I've seen the captain react like this... it seems she's her crush..."

Adam nodded solemnly, "Don't talk nonsense when we go back, understand?"

"I understand, I understand..."

Carole didn't want to be punished by the captain for letting something slip, or even end up hanging on the deck of an airship.

At this time, Tesla's head popped out from beside Theresa, her expression serious, "Right, Bronya... I mean, our Little Bronya."

"What's the matter?"

The Herrscher glared at the red-haired doctor, seemingly very concerned about the adjective Tesla had just added to describe her.

"Hehe... for now, there are no other spatial fluctuations detected inside Kolostein. You can temporarily return to Hyperion... About the Grace Field, we've found some theories that might be useful..."

"Okay, Bronya received... Come on, all the guests who have come from afar, let's return to Hyperion."

The Herrscher turned her head and looked at the large group behind her, most of whom had different expressions but were mainly curious, and extended an invitation.

"Sigh, I wonder how Miss Luo Lin and the others are doing..." Carole muttered.

She was still concerned about Luo Lin, who was floating in the Sea of Quanta and the Imaginary Space, dropping into mysterious places once again. Although she was safe, there was no way to observe her with normal means.

"Wow, such a spacious place..."

Luo Lin looked around, the surroundings resembling a vast desert. The sun was shining brightly, but there was no oppressive heat like in a desert; it was as if the sun hanging in the sky was just a giant fluorescent lamp.

The Vermillion Knight Eclipse had returned to the team interface, and it seemed that Himeko Murata had been affected by the recent explosion, abruptly ending her support summoning. She probably returned to her original world.

Although it was possible to continue summoning Himeko Murata directly with crystals, the current situation didn't seem so urgent. Forced summoning would only consume more crystals, and Luo Lin hadn't reached the point where she could freely spend them however she wanted.

"What strange parallel world have I fallen into again? System, show yourself!"

[Host, we are still in the area where the "Post-Honkai Odyssey" Bubble World and two parallel worlds are intertwined. However, this place seems to be a layer between worlds that has been observed by people for unknown reasons, turning into its current state.]

"Okay, how do we leave here?"

[The detection module is operating normally. Please proceed in the direction indicated by the markings, act cautiously, and once you reach the weak point in space, you can return to the Bubble World.]

Luo Lin pinched the golden mimicry-form Assault Rifle in her hand, carefully surveying the surroundings, cautiously exploring the desert.

Along the way were repetitive sand dune landscapes, and the girl simply climbed up and down. Fortunate that she could access the system panel, otherwise, without reference points, she might not have felt the passage of time.

Finally, after about two hours of trekking, Luo Lin saw something different?

It was something resembling a flower bed made of twisted vines, with blue flames burning in its center out of nowhere. The flames flickered, emitting a warm breath.

Luo Lin stared at it strangely, feeling vaguely familiar with the scene in front of her, as if it matched a certain plotline in Honkai Impact 3rd.

But compared to the modeling in the game, the scene in reality was just a hundred times more detailed. This also meant that Luo Lin couldn't immediately match these things with the plotline in the game. She rubbed her chin, pondering.

Vines, flames, desert... uh...

Luo Lin squatted down, grabbed a handful of sand in her hand, and then rubbed it, under the temperatureless sunlight, the center of the sand crystals faintly emitting red light.

The girl shivered and quickly looked into the distance, but didn't see the towering Imaginary Trees or the floating ruins of churches, nor did she see the golden-haired man walking slowly with his arm propped up. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness she didn't fast forward to the scene of "Thus Spoke Apocalypse"...

Luo Lin looked again at the flower-like device made of vines in front of her, carefully touching the floating flames.

The next moment, clear memories with emotions rushed in:

She seemed to have just woken up, her brain filled with a blissful blank.

"Oh dear, it seems she's awake!"

This voice was somewhat milky, it was Theresa's voice.

"Shh. Speak softly, what if she finds you noisy and throws a tantrum."

This voice was somewhat hoarse, it was Siegfried's voice.

"It's okay, child's father. Look, isn't she smiling?"

This voice was full of indulgence and affection, it was... Cecilia's voice.

Luo Lin blinked, her hand moving away from the flames.

It seemed that these were indeed the memories of the real "Kiana".

That is, the memories of Bianka Durandal Agaetina.

"Am I in the Stigmata Space of the Kaslana Family?!"
