Himeko's last words.
"Kiana, you are my pride."
Accompanied by Himeko's final whisper.
Kiana activated the power within the Plague Gem.
The Lawgiver of Fire!
Birth!!
It was also carrying Himeko's will!
Kiana defeated the thousand-strong Herrscher! She saved all her comrades!!
But... at this very moment!
Kiana defeated the Herrscher of a Thousand!
Otto... seems to be moving towards the final plan as a result?!
The Herrscher of a Thousand, with Kiana pointing her sword at him, slumped to the ground in despair.
"You've lost 3.0."
"We lost... Yes, we lost, but what did we lose to...? We lost to justice? We lost to hope? Or... simply to power?"
"You won't understand."
"But we want to understand! Kiana! We really envy you... why do you always win?"
Even the face of the thousand-man Herrscher doll showed an expression of envy.
"No matter what obstacles you encounter, you will not waver... No matter what dire situation you face, you can turn danger into safety on your own..."
"But we're not alone. We clearly...we clearly have a thousand companions..."
"What connects you is not ideals, not understanding, and certainly not trust in each other."
"You just come together for a common purpose and vent the same polarized emotions."
"People like this are not companions."
"I see"
"I envy you guys... You're right, we're nothing but broken puppets... The only thing connecting us is those annoying threads..."
"Ah...ah...he's here...."
"The golden threads... have already wrapped around me."
The puppet lowered its head, said no more words, and quietly waited for its own end.
Kiana swung her sword at the last puppet, at the theater where the curtain had fallen.
And the words of the puppet.
This has left many people puzzled.
Golden... silk threads?

Chapter 71 Otto's Final Plan Begins! Establishing a Connection with the Tree! [Please Subscribe!!!]
[Keqing: What a tense battle....]
Theresa: Thankfully... Kiana unleashed her power at the last moment!!
[March 7th: Kiana is amazing!! (sparkling eyes)!!]
[Raiden Mei: Kiana is the best!]
Kiana: Hehehe... I'm a little embarrassed....
[Kafka: A thousand Herrschers, capable of uniting so many consciousnesses and powers, they are indeed difficult to deal with...!]
[Honkai Impact 3rd - Himeko: The power of domination is terrifying too!!]
Ningguang: But what did she mean by her last sentence...?
In the picture.
Destiny Headquarters.
A familiar voice broke Durandal's meditation.
"Bianca, I'm back."
Good morning, Bishop.
Durandal stood up and greeted him without any surprise.
"Oh my, you don't seem surprised at all?"
Otto changed into a new outfit, seemingly altering his entire body, and teased him with a smile.
"You're neither surprised by my appearance nor by my sudden use of your real name?"
"These are all trivial matters, aren't they? Speak plainly, Bishop, do you have a new assignment?"
Durandal was somewhat exasperated by Otto's unconventional behavior.
"I'm sure Amber and Rita have already reported what's happened during this time, even though you're still officially a 'missing person'."
"Haha! This straightforward tone reminds me of Bianca before she became Durandal."
Otto laughed heartily.
"Perhaps you should change your mindset for the work ahead, just like you changed into this outfit today."
"?"
"Because you finally have the opportunity to fulfill the great mission that the name Durandal represents."
"Make some preparations."
"Come help me with the exploration experiment of connecting the world bubble to the tree of imaginary numbers in half an hour."
Otto smiled meaningfully, then turned and walked away with light steps.
This is also Otto's favorite way of expressing himself: "I am free by nature."
Suddenly, without making a sound, 29 dropped a bombshell.
And in place.
Durandal still looked somewhat dazed.
His expression, however, became much more serious.
Durandal originally thought that the fate she had borne since the age of 12 might accompany her for the rest of her life.
After all, returning the world bubble in the sea of quantum mechanics to the tree of imaginary numbers is by no means an easy task.
The world arises, flourishes, and withers on the tree of imaginary numbers, eventually sinking into the sea of quantum annihilation—this is the general law of nature.
But three years ago.
Things have taken an initial turn for the better.
The bishop shared his findings on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers with Durandal and her adjutant.
According to the bishop, their personal goals could be addressed within the framework of his ultimate plan.
Then, two years ago.
On an autumn day, quite similar to the season now.
Durandal helped Otto obtain the second Divine Key.
They also encountered the executors of the previous civilization's Hengsha Project during related experiments.
And Otto's "ultimate plan" has since been put on the fast track.
But no matter what—Durandal never expected things to develop so suddenly and rapidly as they did today.
Her trip to the Sea of Quanta felt like it was just yesterday.
Dr. Schrödinger and Senior Shiyu Qiluo...where are they wandering in the sea of quantum mechanics now?
And there's that quirky weapon called Durandal.
Only by establishing a complete connection between the ill-fated artificial world bubble and the Imaginary Tree can Durandal truly save them all.
Perhaps, it can also help humanity find a way out that it has never had before in the face of collapse.
But she never imagined that she would face this crucial moment that would determine her fate so suddenly and so quickly.
The bishop was right.
At this moment, Durandal really needs to change her mindset to prepare for this extremely important task!
When Durandal entered the combat preparation room reserved for S-rank Valkyries, a familiar figure had already arrived there.
"Lady Durandal, have you already met His Holiness the Bishop?"
"Yeah, that was really sudden."
Durandal looked at the gentle Rita and sighed.
"That person disappeared on his own, then returned on his own, and immediately began an exploratory experiment to connect the world bubble to the tree of imaginary numbers."
"Nothing really feels real."
"But isn't this exactly the way His Excellency the Bishop always does things?"
Rita covered her mouth and smiled slightly.
The laughter clearly showed agreement with Durandal's criticism.
“His Holiness has always viewed the world as a chessboard—and all people and things, including himself, are pieces on that chessboard.”
"In this model, only the result has unique significance!"
"After all, the so-called value of process may have disappeared for Your Excellency many years ago, right?"
[March 7th: As expected... that's Otto's personality...]
[Fireworks: It disappeared on its own, and then returned on its own~]
Theresa: Grandpa is such a worry...
[Tesla: Wait, what experiment is Otto going to conduct?!]
[Himeko Hoshino: Connecting the world bubble to the Imaginary Tree? Is this already a step towards making contact with the Imaginary Tree??]
[Black Tower: I'm afraid Otto must have gained something during his disappearance.]
[Ningguang: Using faked death as an excuse?!]
[Tesla: As expected... Otto's every move was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision!]
[Yanqing: What a terrifying man! He's all smiles on the surface, but everyone is just a pawn in his game!?]
The chat group members were all complaining about Otto's behavior of faking his death and disappearing, only to suddenly reappear.
I was also surprised.
Otto is already trying to artificially connect the bubble world to the tree of imaginary numbers so soon!
This is an incredibly groundbreaking feat!
But upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.
After all... the speed at which Herrschers have appeared has far exceeded everyone's expectations!
In other words.
The time left for everyone after the collapse... may very well be running out!
Therefore, Otto's plan must be accelerated!
After a brief exchange.
The two were also making preparations for the battle and arrived at the dedicated laboratory of the second divine key, [Thousand Realms One Journey], on time.
