The mask floated back beside Aha's main body, and then the headless divine body looked toward Hu.
Lan of The Hunt was silent for a moment before drawing his bowstring taut and pointing it at Hu.
Qlipoth glanced over, let out a steam-like sound, and then vanished from the spot.
He did not intend to participate in this meaningless dispute, as long as no one broke the Crystal Wall he had painstakingly forged or the Celestial Wisdom Star Wall that blocked 'Gluttony'... As for Iks of Akasha, he had not come at all, but was probably staring blankly somewhere in a corner.
Yaoshi wore a smile of benevolence, gazed deeply at Hu, and then also disappeared.
Lan merely turned his head for a look, then continued to aim his arrow at Hu.
Xipe did not linger either; the front face smiled, gave Kiana a deep look, and then vanished.
Fuli's mirror-like body flashed with a trace of pink light before disappearing.
Kiana, who possessed the divine rank of Destruction, glanced at the spot where Fuli disappeared, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed.
She felt that this Remembrance was strange, but couldn't pinpoint exactly what was off.
"Could it be Demiurge, using Cyrene's appearance in the Interstice of the Paths to resemble Fuli?"
That fleeting pink light might very well be the future Great Cyrene (Demiurge) herself.
Just then, a Light Cone floated down in front of Kiana—
"Land of Endless Reincarnation"
The Light Cone displayed a magnificent, multicolored light band shaped like an infinity symbol (∞).
Kiana maintained the Destruction energy sphere with her right hand and received the Light Cone with her left.
The moment she touched the Light Cone, it merged into Kiana's body, and simultaneously, the coordinates for Amphoreus appeared in her mind.
"Amphoreus... I will go."
Kiana nodded slightly toward the spot where Fuli had disappeared.
"I'll be waiting for your arrival~"
A clear, pleasant voice, identical to Elysia's, echoed in her mind.
Kiana smiled slightly, then continued to look at the Star God of Equilibrium, who showed no fear.
"Destruction!"
The Destruction Sphere in Kiana's hand shot out, flying rapidly toward Hu.
Hu watched as this energy sphere, which contained the power to decompose all matter, flew toward him. He brought his hands together in a void, and a Taiji Sphere appeared in the center, colliding with the Destruction Sphere.
As the two energy spheres containing the power of rules collided, causing violent turmoil in the Interstice of the Paths, Hu vanished from the spot.
With the Taiji Sphere lacking structural support, it was quickly and completely destroyed by the Destruction Sphere, turning into particle form.
Kiana slightly closed her formerly open palm, and the Destruction Energy Sphere instantly transformed into pure energy, dissipating into the Akasha.
"He ran away just like that? How boring!"
One of Aha's crying face masks spoke.
He hadn't even gotten to yank off the small spinning sphere on Hu's chest! What a shame!
Lan ignored the shouting Aha, lowered his fully drawn bowstring, and left without looking back, pursuing Yaoshi's aura.
Mysticism also did not linger; after Hu disappeared, Mysticism also vanished from its original location.
In the end, only Kiana and Aha remained in the vast Interstice of the Paths.
"Speaking of which, which one of you dragged me into the Interstice of the Paths?"
Kiana deactivated the Triple Fold Mode, looked at Aha, and felt somewhat speechless.
"Aha doesn't know! Aha just came to join the fun!"
"..."
Watching the mask start flying around her again, Kiana half-closed her eyes, grabbed the mask, and then kicked it away again.
"Farewell to you!"
"Oh! Aha was kicked away by a fragrant foot again! Aha is so honored!"
Aha's voice grew distant. Kiana didn't give the other party a chance to come back and mess around, and immediately left the Interstice of the Paths.
"Aha is back... Huh? Where is everyone? They ran away!"
..."So, who exactly dragged me over here...?"
Kiana put her hands on her hips, lowering her gaze, and spoke with a gloomy tone.
She was currently standing on a body of water so clear that she could see countless glowing bubbles floating beneath the surface.
This place was filled with the aura of the Sea of Quanta, and not far behind her was... "The physical manifestation of the imaginary tree."
Kiana slowly turned around, looking at the glowing giant tree whose roots spread throughout the Sea of Quanta, speaking slowly and deliberately.
In that case, the transparent water beneath her feet was the physical manifestation of the Sea of Quanta?
Kiana scanned the area above her head. Occasionally, faintly glowing bubbles would gradually dim and then fall into the water.
The imaginary tree's branches and leaves, radiating golden light, rustled, as if responding to Kiana.
And the water surface beneath her feet rippled.
Just then, the two forces of Imaginary and Quantum suddenly surged into Kiana's body.
Kiana's Herrscher of Finality herrscher core spun wildly, and the Breath of God was also neutralizing the two forces.
The power within Kiana's body was slightly out of control at this moment, and a powerful aura erupted from within her.
As more and more power was injected from both sides, reaching a peak, the Breath of God completely fused the two forces together.
After the powers fused, the herrscher core within Kiana's body had disappeared.
But she clearly felt that she was much more adept at utilizing the rule power of the Tree-Sea System.
"..."
After sensing her current state, Kiana dispersed the surrounding energy waves, looked at the Tree and Sea with a complicated expression, and then politely bowed to both of them.
"Thank you for the gift."
Now, with the gift from the Tree and Sea, Kiana had completely integrated the Herrscher of Finality clearance into her body, or rather, into her soul.
Although Kiana's energy level was temporarily not as high as the Tree and Sea's, her rank was now no worse than theirs.
It could also be said that Kiana was the Supreme Administrator of the Tree-Sea System, apart from the two of them.
In response to such a gift, the only thing Kiana could offer was to maintain the Order of the Tree-Sea World and try her best to prevent worlds from heading toward destruction.
A gentle force suddenly pushed her, and then Kiana's vision blurred, and she appeared in the Taiyin Mansion.
"Just one divine rank of Destruction caused so much attention..."
Kiana raised her fair palm, looked at it repeatedly, and then let out a light laugh.
"But I also gained greater rewards, so it's not bad."
Kiana herself hadn't expected the Tree and Sea to suddenly pull her over.
At first, she thought they were going to settle accounts with her.
But it was the exact opposite.
She hadn't expected them to be so kind to her!
"Since I now have the power of the Sea of Quanta, I should help Seele upgrade too."
As Kiana spoke, she sliced open a door leading to where Seele's aura was and stepped inside.
Emerging from the other side, Kiana saw Bronya and Seele catching dolls in a newly opened Arcade located in Liuyun Alley of the Commercial District.
"Bronya, you caught so many, aren't you going to share one with me?"
"Hmm?"
Bronya felt a hand suddenly appear above her head, so she looked up.
Hmm... a pair of annoying Slimes... judging by the shape and the voice, the owner was Kiana.
"This one is for you..."
Bronya handed Kiana the largest white Cat Doll she had been hiding behind her back.
Because the doll had purple gradients on its Tail and ear tips, along with blue eyes, she thought it resembled Kiana.
"Wow! Thank you so much, Little Dot~!"
Kiana's eyes lit up when she saw the doll with her own color scheme. After taking it, she picked up Bronya with one arm and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Big Sister Bronya..."
Seele placed her small hands on her chest, watching the scene with a look of happiness.
She was happy that Big Sister Bronya was liked by so many people.
As for jealousy?
Little Angel Seele definitely wouldn't feel any.
