A Journey of Resonance That Begins with Honkai

so now.

Embracing Fujimaru Tatsuka, Tian Nuo envied his past self from the bottom of his heart, and envied Fujimaru Tatsuka's ability to stick to the path he didn't stick to.

However, the matter has come to this point, and the so-called envy has been transformed into a sincere blessing.

Tennuo needs to keep moving forward, while Tatsuka Fujimaru will make progress together with an indomitable belief.

So there is no need for encouragement and comfort, as long as the road continues, then one day the two will be able to meet again.

Even if it's across dimensions.

"Huh, well, this is the first time I have said some parting words before leaving." Tian Nuo let go of Fujimaru Tachika, and then paused, "Anyway, sooner or later we will meet again."

click, click...

Just like the sneaky appearance at the beginning, Tian Nuo was ready to leave after saying goodbye to everyone and leaving gifts.

There is no trace of hesitant nostalgia, but the arc of the eyes is becoming more and more gentle.

"So."

"Good night."

With an inviolable will, the consciousness of the four people present fell into a deep sleep at that moment.

"Goodbye."

In the next second, the figures of Fujimaru Tachika and Mashu disappeared into the sea of ​​flowers in the underworld.

They were sent back to the original world line by Tian Nuo, or they were sent back to Chaldea.

"Oh, almost forgot that."

After seeing the two of them off, Tian Nuo suddenly thought of something, and quickly raised his hand to shake it out of nothing.

A red tuning fork and a pierced golden cup appeared in Tian Nuo's hands.

"It's really a god-killing gun, although this Holy Grail is not the real Holy Grail..."

The double tips of Longinus' spear penetrated the entire Holy Grail. Although it is very easy to take it off now, Tenno, who has seen the future of this world line, is not prepared to do so.

"If you want everyone to survive and get out of the Temple of Time, you should use this gun, Lixiang."

The corner of Tiannuo's mouth raised some smiles, and then he threw it, and the holy gun and the holy grail disappeared into the void following the trail of Chaldea.

Finally, after finishing everything on the ground, it is only one step away from Tiannuo reconnecting this world line to the right track.

As for the last step, Tian Nuo raised his head to look at the huge body left behind by Natiamat, and there seemed to be a golden light flickering between his brows.

Swish!

In a blink of an eye, Tian Nuo came to that huge face.

In the next second, a golden figure seemed to be thrown out from between Tiamat's eyebrows.

"Well, this damned woman, it's fine if she doesn't obey me, but she still throws me..."

The moment Gilgamesh reappeared in the underworld, he started yelling, and the object of his yelling was short of pointing at the huge body in front of him by name.

"This king kindly gave you advice, but you actually..."

Suddenly, Gilgamesh, who wanted to continue to reprimand, frowned, and he seemed to see something incredible in his peripheral vision.

"Wait, this is..." Looking around, Gilgamesh found that the outside world was actually a sea of ​​flowers.

Immediately, the king, who had always been calm and comfortable, also showed a shocked expression.

"This is the barren underworld? Are you kidding me!!"

The underworld is the place of death, the place where life ends.

There are actually flowers blooming in such a place. Could it be that Gilgamesh's eyes were polluted after he came out of the imaginary number space?

Just when Gilgamesh was about to take the next step.

"Seeing that you are still so active, I am relieved, Wang."

Tenno's voice sounded from behind Gilgamesh.

And Gilgamesh also turned around in an instant and saw this man who looked exactly like the one he summoned back then.

"Tino? You..."

The moment he saw Tennuo, Gilgamesh instinctively wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

In the end, the king could only choke out such a sentence with a strange face: "Are you all right?"

Tian Nuo nodded and smiled happily: "Ah, everything is over, and everyone's efforts are not in vain."

"……yes?"

After hearing Tiannuo's answer, Gilgamesh's ups and downs finally calmed down.

He let out a long breath, and then looked at Tian Nuo again: "Then what about you, the restraints on your body should also disappear."

Gilgamesh shook his head: "I can't feel any breath on your body now, Tian promise you..."

"Really, did it work?"

To Gilgamesh's question, Tenno did not give a positive answer.

"It succeeded." Tian Nuo paused, "Maybe it succeeded."

The ambiguous answer made Gilgamesh frowned slightly, but Tian Nuo didn't give him a chance to ask any more questions. Instead, he asked, "Where did you go after Tiamat was destroyed?"

Gilgamesh crossed his hands in front of his chest. He looked at Tiannuo with a flat expression, and then slowly replied: "After this king used EA to expel Tiamat's consciousness, because of a momentary negligence, she was temporarily dragged into it. We have reached the interlayer between nothingness and reality.”

"There, the Creator Goddess told the king her true appeal and asked the king not to banish her into the lonely imaginary space."

Tiannuo raised his hand and stroked Tiamat's forehead: "But you still expelled her?"

"of course."

Gilgamesh raised his head proudly, but then he lowered it slightly.

"……No."

He changed the subject.

"This king can't be as ruthless as those gods, at least in the point of mercilessly expelling the fundamental existence that created the world and the mother of all things, this king can't do it at all!"

Gilgamesh seemed to be more and more confident as he spoke, he seemed to have figured out something, and his face was full of pride.

"So that means, at this moment, Tiamat's consciousness still stays in this body, and may wake up again at any time...?" Tian Nuo asked.

Gilgamesh shook his head: "After promising not to expel her, the king made some symbolic suggestions, such as asking her to give up her identity and spiritual foundation, and devote herself to history as a witness, but The mother's reaction was unexpectedly hot."

"[I don't want to live alone anymore], these are the last words I said before being thrown... before slowly walking out."

Gilgamesh coughed, but fortunately Tenno didn't intend to say much on this matter.

"I don't intend to be expelled into nothingness, nor do I want to stay in history." Tiannuo looked back at Gilgamesh, "Then, king, your plan is..."

Gilgamesh said in a condensed voice: "Originally, the king planned to have a long-term plan with you after the dust settled, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary."

"Tiannuo, you have reached the root... No, should it be said that you have become the incarnation of the root?"

From the vigilance when he first came out, to the illusory existence later, Gilgamesh realized that everything in this singularity seemed to be really over.

And the young man in front of him, who had been troubled by the demon king in his body, suddenly became the existence of almost the same personality as the restraining power.

Tian Nuo shrugged: "To be precise, this is just a temporary clone. Before leaving this dimension, I am the root itself."

Tiannuo didn't intend to hide his own situation, but the information contained in his words smashed Gilgamesh's excellent ability to accept at once.

"...the root, itself??"

The corners of his eyes seemed to be twitching, and after several deep breaths, Gilgamesh stared at Tenno as if he was looking at some rare species.

"...What should I say, Tian Nuo?"

"You, you can always bring me some surprises."

Finally, Gilgamesh choked out such words.

And thinking back to the last time Gilgamesh said this to Tiannuo, it was the last time.

But in any case, after getting the definite answer, the burden that had been weighing on Gilgamesh's shoulders was finally lifted.

The king who has worked hard so far can finally usher in a long rest time in the future.

"Then, Tenno."

Returning to Tiamat, Gilgamesh said, "If this king entrusts you with the right to dispose of the Creator Goddess, what will you do to her?"

"Didn't she say she doesn't want to be alone anymore?" The corners of Tian Nuo's mouth curled up slightly, as if he would return to his original appearance after going to the next world.

If that world is more dangerous than the Xingyue world, then maybe bringing a handy thug can make Tian Nuo spend the weak early stage comfortably.

and so.

"It just so happens that I lack an old lady who likes to take care of people during the trip."

There was no need for the consent of the sleeping consciousness in this huge body. In the blink of an eye, Tiamat disappeared into the underworld and lived in Tiannuo's body.

"It's no longer a lonely trip, so she won't have any opinions, right?"

Watching Tiamat disappear in the blink of an eye, and hearing Tian Nuo's tone that seemed to have planned the future, Gilgamesh finally closed his eyes for a long time.

"In that case, that's fine, that's fine."

Gilgamesh smiled unconsciously.

And Tian Nuo, who was opposite him, looked at the peaceful appearance of the king in front of him, and his smile was slowly shrinking until he looked at the king solemnly.

"I am grateful to have had such a guide in my journey."

"..."

"It can guide me when I am most confused, help me when I am most powerless, and turn me back when I am most smug."

"……Humph!"

"...Good night, Wang."

"...Ah." Gilgamesh slightly opened his eyes, but the person who was talking in front of him last second had already disappeared.

The moment sleepiness came, he seemed to have returned to the throne of Uruk, waiting for the morning sun as always.
