"Ayai isn't dead?!"
Kiana's eyes widened.
Beside her, Kiana was also stunned upon hearing this, and then a surprised curve appeared at the corners of her mouth.
She's still alive!
But she quickly calmed down.
Even if she's alive, they still can't see her; the explosion of that space-time instrument took Ayai to who knows which world!
"This is a bit troublesome..."
Kiana said with a hint of distress.
Too much time has passed; otherwise, I could have gone to the scene of the incident and followed the space-time traces.
But now the traces have surely faded significantly as the world repaired itself, and searching for them again would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Right then—
Zzzzt—
Static sounds crackled in the sky above the world.
"Hmm?"
Kiana suddenly looked up and stared out the window.
This world and another world are beginning to merge?!
Could it be related to that tiny hole I found when scanning the world earlier?
Just then—
[Special Operations Na: @Group Owner Na, help! A strange phenomenon has appeared in the sky here too! (Sky_Anomaly.jpg)]
Kiana took a look at Special Operations Na's picture, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the sky outside.
They were exactly the same.
Space-time static crackled in the skies on both sides, and the phantom image of a world appeared.
As Kiana activated her high-dimensional omnipotent vision, she saw that the phantoms of two similar planets had already overlapped by half.
And the connection point was that hole she had discovered earlier.
I see... No wonder the world didn't repair that hole; it turns out the two worlds want to merge and upgrade.
And the situation on Special Operations Na's side is the same as here... Maybe Kiana's world is merging with Special Operations Na's world...?
I'll have to test it to find out.
"Don't panic, Special Operations Na. I'm applying to enter your world to take a look."
Kiana sent a teleportation request to Special Operations Na, but the system indicated the application failed.
[Application failed. The world the Host is currently in is the target world of the application.]
"Special Operations Na, your world and Mama-chan's world are merging. The two worlds won't be destroyed because of this, so don't worry."
After getting the result, Kiana spoke to the camera.
[Gojo Na: In that case, won't the two of them be able to meet anytime? Why don't you two live together!]
[Herrscher of Flamescion Na: That makes sense. Since that Ayai is gone anyway, the two of you living together would allow you to look after Mama-chan.]
[Knight Na: @Herrscher of Flamescion Na, you're probably just worried that rebellious, unfilial daughter will bully Mama-chan.]
[Herrscher of Flamescion Na: Well~ (Looks away)]
"Mama-chan, if nothing goes wrong, Ayai is in Special Operations Na's world—the world that is currently merging with this one."
Kiana looked at Kiana and shared some of her conjectures with her.
If nothing goes wrong, that hole was caused by the space-time turbulence from the explosion of the space-time device back then.
The subconsciousness of the two worlds sought evolution and chose to cooperate with each other.
"That's wonderful! That means we still have a chance to meet again!"
Kiana's eyes curved into beautiful crescents, but her smile soon faded, replaced by a worried expression as she said:
"But when parallel worlds collide, one will eventually be destroyed or swallowed, or both worlds will be destroyed in the collision of the merger."
She was a top scientist researching space-time, so she had some understanding of this.
Although she hadn't practically traveled to a parallel world or conducted space-time travel,
she still had some authority on the subject.
"That's only the case under normal circumstances. If the world consciousnesses of the two worlds haven't reached an agreement, such a situation would naturally occur."
"Is that so...?"
Having researched science her whole life, Kiana rubbed her chin with a look of partial understanding after hearing Kiana's explanation.
Because world consciousness is too metaphysical, it cannot be completely determined to exist from a scientific perspective.
At least from the scientific perspective of this world, that is the case.
But with this miraculous Group Owner Kiana here, those things that were once considered very fantastical... seem like they might not be unprovable or out of reach after all?
After all, she is a being who can talk about resurrecting someone so casually... "In other words, I can see her, my mother..."
Kiana gazed at the sky outside the window and murmured with a complex look in her eyes.
She hadn't felt much for this mother she hadn't seen in over a decade.
But now, a desire to see her again had indeed emerged, because it would make Mom happy.
"Is it Aunt Ayai? I don't have much of an impression..."
An Heang tapped her chin, one eyebrow slightly furrowed, as she recalled things from her childhood.
But her thoughts bore no fruit after a moment.
Because she was too young then, she didn't have very clear memories of many things.
She only had some impressions, but she could no longer remember exactly what she looked like.
Suddenly, Kiana's brow furrowed.
Zzzt—
[Respected Great Deity, please do not interfere too much with the merger of our two worlds; we thank you sincerely for this.]
An electronic-mixed voice with extremely respectful wording appeared in Kiana's mind.
'Alright, I won't interfere too much with the progress of the two worlds. I'm just here to help my friend.'
[Thank you. In that case, so that you may have a pleasant time here, we will grant you limited-time administrator privileges.]
'Thanks~'
Kiana gave a friendly smile toward the sky.
The world consciousnesses of these two worlds were very friendly, which saved Kiana a lot of trouble.
Soon, a mechanical voice appeared in the minds of Kiana and everyone over the age of 16 in this world.
[Ding! Delta Descends. All Special Ops operators, please prepare to enter.]
The sky's anomaly suddenly vanished.
Subsequently, a warehouse panel, personal data, mission system, friends list, and matching page appeared in front of everyone.
And the matching page had only one map available for selection, a region named Dam Zero.
Kiana had an additional GM tag compared to others.
At the same time, in Special Operations Na's world, the sky's anomaly also disappeared.
However, many regions in this world were enclosed by unknown walls of light.
Regions such as Dam Zero, Longbow Valley, Bakhesh, Space Base, Tidal Prison, Nuclear Power Plant, Ascension, Trenches, and so on.
Inside, except for the beings selected as bosses by the light walls, other ordinary units could not leave the light walls.
Furthermore, an identity nameplate had appeared on them.
According to the information left in their minds by the nameplates, they could respawn after a certain period if they died within the light curtain area.
Moreover, resources within the light curtain would also refresh randomly within a certain period.
In other words, although they couldn't leave the light curtain, they had also gained immortality... but whether this was ultimately a blessing or a curse, people had different views... Dam Zero region.
Sayed, wearing a crimson mask and a black-and-red cloak that looked like bird feathers, carrying an M249 machine gun... was now with his Asara Guard on the road to the left of the Cement Plant, looking at the light curtain rising into the sky.
"This... probably wasn't done by those damn Hafocs."
Sayed gazed at the light curtain, his voice hoarse and his tone grave.
He had been selected as the boss of this area by the light curtain, and he needed to be on guard against all external enemies invading Dam Zero.
This was the instruction the light curtain had given him.
"You."
Sayed patted the shoulder of the guard soldier beside him and then pointed at the light curtain, saying:
"Come with me and let's try touching it."
"Yes, Boss!"
Then Sayed and the soldier reached out to touch the light curtain...
