"Ha ha ha, Raiden Mei, come forth! Let me witness your power!"
With a furious roar, Kalpas charged towards Raiden Mei. For others, acting might be challenging, but for Kalpas, it was simple; he just needed to unleash his utmost aggression and fury.
The others in the Elysian Realm were accustomed to Kalpas' roars and didn't comment on them. However, even dressed as a chef, Kalpas himself let out a dissatisfied humph, seemingly not entirely pleased with the situation.
As Kalpas engaged, Sakura's figure also emerged from the space, lunging at Raiden Mei. The two fought together, their coordination seamless.
"Someday, I might miss these times we've spent fighting side by side," Sakura suddenly remarked, instantly drawing everyone's attention. After all, people either tried hard to bring her and Kalpas closer or enjoyed speculating about their relationship, showing significant interest.
However, after this brief sentiment, Sakura fell silent again, leaving the others somewhat disappointed.
Griseo remained silent, engrossed in her painting with the brush in hand. This time, she continued using a realistic style, depicting the Thirteen Heroes.
Meanwhile, several stray bullets suddenly streaked across the sky, forcing Raiden Mei to swiftly dodge.
While not all the Heroic Spirits were giving their utmost effort, a few indeed fought earnestly—Vill-V, firing artillery now, being one such example.
At first glance, it seemed as though Raiden Mei was overwhelmed. However, throughout the encounter, she had yet to retaliate, focusing solely on evasive maneuvers.
For her, this battle was both unprecedented and long-awaited, and she found herself enjoying it immensely.
As for the answer, there was no need to
If this were truly such a benevolent plan, World Serpent wouldn't need secrecy. However, it's clear that things are not as simple as they appear. There must be some hidden intentions behind all this, though currently, even Einstein and Tesla cannot discern them.
"It appears only she can provide us with answers."
As Einstein spoke, she shifted her gaze back to the screen, but this time, her focus wasn't on Ana herself, rather, it landed behind her.
Naturally, there was nothing visible behind Ana.
Naturally, Ana could hear Einstein and Tesla's conversation, but she merely smiled back at Einstein without further comment.
As a scientist, there was no denying Einstein's exceptional talent. However, some aspects of her thoughts were overcomplicated.
Ana harbored no nefarious intentions; she simply hoped that humanity of this era could harness Honkai to advance their civilization, ultimately breaking free from the cradle.
Kevin's notion of escaping the cradle wasn't truly complete because the true measure of liberation is venturing into the starlit sky.
Similarly, if Earth's civilization could prematurely step into the cosmos, the Finality trial would lose its significance. At worst, humans could evacuate, returning after the Honkai cycle completes.
As for the time reversal caused by the final moments, it would actually benefit a stellar civilization, as it signifies the renewal of resources. In essence, Earth becomes akin to a celestial body with infinite resources.
Of course, these resources aren't truly infinite. The creation of each Finality entity imposes significant strain on Cocoon of Finality, especially when rewinding everything back 50,000 years, which demands immense power from the Cocoon.
Without being anchored to the Imaginary Tree, drawing upon and transforming its energy, such trials would eventually exhaust the Cocoon completely.
This very reason led the Cocoon to move from Venus to Earth.
In other words, Cocoon of Finality can only offer limited opportunities to a civilization. To avoid detection, it restricts its activities within the Honkai solar system, resulting in cycles spanning approximately tens of thousands of years.
As Ana pondered the mysteries of the universe and the Cocoon, the Main trio successfully completed their trials one after another. Unsurprisingly, Kiana emerged first.
Next was Raiden Mei, followed by Bronya.
Reuniting with each other, they exchanged glances, sensing significant growth within themselves and their companions. This further deepened their respect for Ana.
Regardless, it was clear that everything Ana had done aimed to benefit their present selves. They also received updates about Earth's situation, yet none of them felt compelled to ask questions.
"Excellent. Since you've overcome the trials of your True Selves, what awaits now is the final showdown. May you deliver a satisfactory outcome, as Scorpio hopes!" Ana's smile widened, and simultaneously, her figure began to dissipate, gradually turning into particles and vanishing amidst the starlit sky.
With Ana's disappearance, it was as if a vast curtain had been lifted, revealing the true form beneath the facade: Cocoon of Finality.
The Main trio were no strangers to the Cocoon; before confronting Kevin, they had reached it, obtaining the Authority of Finality, which included the Origin itself.
However, the Cocoon now revealed before everyone's eyes was entirely different from what they had witnessed earlier.
The entire The Cocoon of Finality trembled as if nurturing something within it. Simultaneously, a distinct heartbeat began resonating from inside the Cocoon.
As time passed, cracks started appearing on its surface, multiplying rapidly.
"This..."
The Main trio stared at the unfolding scene, dumbfounded and unsure of how to react. They had just begun to grasp the true nature of the Cocoon, but while the idea of life emerging from it seemed plausible, witnessing this sudden event left them with a sense of uncertainty.
Moreover, the Cocoon embodied the convergence of Laws, and even Kiana couldn't predict precisely what might be born from such a source.
At that moment, she felt powerless. Her strength fundamentally originated from the Cocoon itself; attacking it would mean striking with her bare fists, rendering any attempt futile.
"Ba-thump—ba-thump—"
With each passing second, the heartbeat grew clearer, and Cocoon of Finality emitted a silvery-gray glow, signaling the imminent birth of something extraordinary. Finally, amidst a crisp sound, the conceptual and energetic essence of Cocoon of Finality truly fractured!
