"Understood. This place is the future of the world I'm currently in."
Xin Yu took a sip of the cola soone had left in this base, then calmly accepted this reality and asked, "So, is there anything you want to change?"
"Eh? Why are you so sure we need you to change sothing?"
"Although I didn't hear your previous conversation, whose past doesn't hold regrets? Who hasn't experienced parting at least once?"
Xin Yu looked at the Raiden i on the screen, who looked much older than the one he knew, and said, "Like Raiden i. I only t her after Raiden Ryoma was imprisoned. If the past could be changed, no one would wish for their beloved family mber to stay in jail."
"And Kiana, you know far more than your past self, and you know where your father is. If the past could be changed, you probably wouldn't want to blindly chase your father's elusive figure anymore."
"How could any grown person not have a past they wish they could change?"
Xin Yu looked at the fizzy cola in his hand and stated his own hidden circumstances very directly.
"Besides, I don't have much ti left anyway. From the mont I lost my mory and reawakened, the countdown on my life started ticking incessantly. Although a few accidents extended my lifespan, the truth is, if I don't make a breakthrough soon, I will definitely die within a month."
"If I can do sothing within this limited life that is enough to change soone else's entire life, that's actually not bad for ... Becoming a profound figure in soone else's mory, that also counts as proof that I existed."
Upon hearing Xin Yu's words, Kiana imdiately reached out and grabbed his arm. Just the next mont after contact, Kiana's expression suddenly changed.
The other party's Honkai energy resistance and adaptability weren't particularly high, but the Honkai energy accumulated within his body had already reached a level that would kill even a B-rank Valkyrie. Under such circumstances, the other party could still interact with them seemingly unaffected!
"You..."
Seeing Kiana's astonished gaze, Xin Yu understood she had likely perceived the problem with his body. After thinking for a mont, he stated very directly.
"Mm, maybe you've noticed. I've already lost my sense of taste, and my body's sense of pain has also beco much duller. Right after I woke up, I could still feel the pain of a kitchen knife cutting my finger and the sting of direct contact with salt. But recently, even if I cut my own wrist, I don't feel any pain at all."
"...Honkai energy erosion."
This phenonon caused the gazes of the St. Freya mbers to focus on Kiana once again, each face filled with complex emotions.
Back then, when Kiana first awakened, she must have been in a similar state.
"I can save you."
Kiana took a deep breath, suppressing all the complex emotions within her heart, and looked at the youth opposite her with determined eyes.
"If I used soone's life to exchange for Teacher Hiko's life, even if Teacher Hiko were resurrected, she would definitely bla ... So stay. I will heal you. If it's possible afterward, then you can try changing the past."
"Even if doing so might cause to lose the ability to transmigrate, making it impossible for you to change the past?"
"Yes, even if I lose this chance."
Xin Yu looked into Kiana's eyes, surprised that those originally sky-blue eyes would beco like this in the future.
"Kiana, how strong are you in the future?" Thinking that the other party might be one of the protagonists of this world, Xin Yu suddenly asked this question.
"Very strong, I guess. I don't really know exactly how strong, after all, I haven't been the Herrscher of Finality for long."
"That's right. After all, idiot Kiana is a bad student, doesn't even know how to use her own powers, so she's still taking redial lessons now," Bronya interjected.
"Bronya! Don't ntion that at a ti like this!"
"Speaking of which, Kiana, have you finished your howork? I rember it was due two days ago. I've been busy these past two days and forgot about it." Theresa chid in.
"Aunt Theresa... about that..."
"Kiana, didn't you ntion earlier that you t Xin Yu while eating instant noodles? So, just how much instant noodles are you still hiding?" i asked.
"i... I..."
Xin Yu watched Kiana turn around to interact with those friends, family, or perhaps even her lover on the screen...
In short, Xin Yu could see that Kiana seed very happy and fulfilled now...
In a daze, so lost mories resurfaced in his mind...
He saw, from a first-person perspective, himself standing before a train, waving goodbye to Kiana who had already boarded.
He watched as the scene began to pull away, everything becoming a video playing on a phone screen. And within that video, lines of text began to scroll continuously, forming sentences.

...
Xin Yu rembered so things about this ga. Perhaps because of the contact with the future Kiana, he recalled sothing: it seed the protagonist of this world, Kiana, ultimately saved the world.
So that's how it is... It turns out even the players enjoying this ga from across a dinsion weren't very important either.
And I, this player, have rely crossed the dinsion. My importance is the sa.
"■■"
Xin Yu seed to suddenly hear soone calling him. He turned around and saw many blurry figures. He saw those figures, smiling one by one, calling out to him.
He looked back and saw Kiana Kaslana standing under the light, happy and fulfilled.
He saw figures appear one by one beside her, filling the space around her, packed tightly, without a single gap.
He looked towards the back, where many blurry figures existed. It was pitch black there, with rows of dark shadows standing like ghosts from a horror movie. But among those terrifying dark shadows, a place was left for him.
Xin Yu walked towards it in silence. Finally, his figure completely rged into the darkness and disappeared.
And the group over there, still chatting idly, only realized sothing was wrong the mont Xin Yu vanished completely. Everyone's gaze shifted back to where Xin Yu had been, only to find it empty.
...
When Xin Yu regained consciousness again, he found himself lying on a vast, open field. The sky was overcast, and light raindrops fell on his face, chillingly cold.
Xin Yu stared blankly. Just now, when he stepped into that darkness, an unprecedented sense of emptiness enveloped him. The feeling made him almost want to give up his life again. But in that instant, he lost consciousness, and when he ca to, he was here.
And just then, red suddenly appeared in Xin Yu's vision. He saw a person holding a red umbrella, shielding him from the rain.
"Who... are you?" asked a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Raiden i.
