Just by calling out "older sister," her mother Cecilia, as well as the Valkyries who sacrificed themselves in battle, like Sister Himeko and the others, would have the possibility of being resurrected... Well, this was a condition Kiana Kaslana could not refuse.
"Mm, little sister Kiana is so well-behaved!"
Suppressing a joy that almost made her laugh out loud, Phanes's expression became increasingly gentle as she said, "Let's go. Don't worry, with my guidance, you'll soon be able to go back and do what you want to do."
"By the way, I'll introduce a few 'younger sisters' for you to meet."
Recalling the schadenfreude on the faces of Istaru and the other three just now, Phanes took advantage of their absence to firmly pin the identity of 'younger sister' on their heads, establishing their status once and for all.
Also, that fellow Hermes, didn't he say he was Kiana's character model?
Let's see what he says next time.
Since she's calling me older sister now, you'll have to change how you address her too.
"Good grief!"
Watching Phanes's series of maneuvers, which firmly grasped Kiana's weakness, Hermes was filled with amazement.
"To think she can play these tactics so smoothly?"
Was this still the Primordial One who once ruled Teyvat?
If you had these methods back then, how did you manage to run Teyvat into such a tattered state?
Just then, Hermes's brow furrowed slightly as he cast his gaze toward the Honkai: Star Rail Universe.
"Strange. Although I've long known that Nous often pulls off stunts where the left brain elbow-strikes the right brain, this isn't just a split personality anymore—it's like the entire Aeon's intelligence has been lowered, hasn't it?"
After seeing the situation clearly, Hermes's expression became quite peculiar.
To be honest, when Nous isn't having a brain fart, he's actually quite serious.
Back when Hermes broke through the boundaries of Erudition and crowned himself with Great Power: Alchemy, Nous had seen it all.
Even though this Aeon, Nous, possessed a unique form of future sight and could roughly see what Hermes would do in the future, he still recognized Hermes's status as an Envoy of Intellect and bestowed upon him a portion of Great Authority: Astrology.
At that time, Nous's demeanor—looking down upon the sea of stars, constantly calculating and deducing knowledge—left a deep impression on Hermes.
But...
What is the situation now?
Could it be that those deeply hidden geniuses have joined forces, invaded Nous's system, and hacked Him?
...Moving back in time a bit—the reason there isn't a specific time is naturally because Amphoreus still maintains a discrepancy between internal and external time flow.
"Piercing through ten thousand cycles of reincarnation, 'I' am still 'I'."
After returning to Amphoreus, Cyrene unexpectedly did not rely on her strength as a minor Aeon to sweep through everything and immediately liberate the obsession she had held for thirty million cycles.
The thirty million cycles of reincarnation in the Eternal Land, Amphoreus, were a hardship, but they were also an incredibly vast wealth.
Cyrene's will expanded infinitely within Amphoreus, piercing through eternal time and space.
The girl stood there quietly. At this moment, her will seemed to split into three parts.
One part plunged into the reincarnation of Amphoreus, beginning to unify the timeline and casually seizing control of Amphoreus's authority.
One part held the authority of Remembrance. Her will seemed to ascend toward an infinitely high dimension, transforming into the vast Heavenly Dao of the universe, constantly tainting the entirety of Amphoreus with her own will.
The final part, like a void black hole, constantly swelled and expanded, swallowing and spitting out the infinite information of the Great Universe, then filling it into Amphoreus.
"I don't need to create so-called bodies for Xiao Bai and the others, or have them escape their status as so-called virtual information lifeforms..."
At this moment, a faint divine halo appeared behind Cyrene as she whispered, "The foundation of Amphoreus lies in information, in data. If I were to abruptly end this story, then the most precious treasures within Amphoreus would likely be forever lost to the Titans, the Chrysos Heirs, and the heroes."
As for the ordinary citizens?
To be honest, even Cyrene had to admit that for ordinary people with weak wills to obtain this treasure was not impossible, but such a miracle would be no different from a mortal's Ascend to Godhood.
Information, data, memory... She understood better than anyone the weight of memory; information was no less significant than any form of energy.
So-called Imaginary Energy, Quantum Energy, Star Power, Magic, Spiritual Power, and the like could, to some extent, be forcibly explained as certain states of information.
"Imaginary, Quantum, the mind, Remembrance, Digital..."
With Hermes's tacit permission, Cyrene linked to the ethereal Pure Beauty and analyzed the knowledge she needed from Him, beginning to create a path most suitable for Amphoreus.
It was also creating a path distinct from Remembrance.
Until one day.
As if arranged by fate, the Astral Express arrived at Amphoreus once again.
"Astral Express, Stelle, Trailblazer..."
Like the moment destiny arrived, Cyrene watched this train traversing the boundless sea of stars. In her mind, it was as if a bolt of lightning had cleared the endless mist, and her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"I finally understand which direction the path of Amphoreus should take!"
...On the Astral Express, Himeko watched the three young ones step into Amphoreus, and a trace of worry couldn't help but appear on her face.
"Himeko, with the strength of little March, Xing, and Dan Heng, no matter how dangerous Amphoreus is, they have the power to protect themselves."
Welt said with confidence while operating some detection devices on the train.
However, as soon as Mr. Yang finished speaking, the connection between the Astral Express and the three young ones was instantly cut off.
Instantly, the expressions of both individuals became solemn.
"No need to worry."
Himeko quickly calmed down and found the Curio prepared for her by Hermes in the past—the Key of Realms. After some operation, she finally bypassed Amphoreus's defenses and re-established contact with her children.
"Ah! Sister Himeko, wait a bit before contacting us, we've encountered an attack..."
When the connection to the other side was made, March 7th's voice, tinged with a hint of excitement and tension amidst her frustration, reached the ears of Himeko and Welt.
"Rules... are meant to be broken!"
Stelle held her bat, her face cold as she swung it, head-on crushing the spear of a Strife Titan.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort filled with anger rang out. March 7th's appearance underwent a subtle change; her eyes turned blood-red, a bow and arrow appeared out of thin air in her hands, and she shouted:
"Ice Carving... Rain of Arrows Time!"
The sky full of arrows, like a crystal mandala composed of ice crystals, transformed within a seven-colored rainbow into an arrow capable of freezing planets and sealing all things in ice. Following the memory trajectory of the incoming Strife Spear, it sought to kill the attacker on the spot!
