“So that’s how it is, Cocolia…
I didn’t expect Welt to actually—never mind, it’s nothing.” Siegfried shook his head with a wry smile.
How could he have forgotten?
Welt was also severely injured during the Second Honkai Impact and was likely still recovering now.
“However, you have truly grown up, Kiana.” Siegfried looked at his daughter with gratification.
If the real Kiana knew about the current performance of the younger sister who inherited her name, she would surely be very happy.
“That goes without saying.
Let’s go, Dad, Mei.
We’re going to deal with Cocolia, and then~ I have a surprise for you, Dad.” Kiana thought of the matter regarding Durandal.
She planned to hurry and deal with Otto after handling Cocolia, then try to let Durandal recover her Remembrance early.
“Oh?
Then I’ll have to look forward to it.
After all, this is something my daughter prepared for me.” Siegfried said jokingly, but…
he glanced at Raiden Mei on the other side.
He remembered that this was Raiden Ryoma’s daughter.
He hadn’t expected his girl to actually woo his friend’s girl.
‘If that guy Ryoma knew, he’d probably be furious.’ Siegfried couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud when imagining the expression that would appear on the usually serious face of Raiden Ryoma, but for now, it was better to handle the business at hand.
“So, our current forces consist of only the three of us.
Are you ready, Mei?” Kiana took Raiden Mei’s hand, and feeling the other girl’s trembling body, she couldn’t help but express her concern.
“Don’t worry, Kiana.
I’m just…
I tremble with rage whenever I think about what that lunatic is planning to do.” Raiden Mei’s voice was somewhat gritted-teeth.
Seeing her close friend’s expression, Kiana simply tightened her grip on Raiden Mei’s hand to offer support.
The next second, the world spun, and Kiana appeared inside the ME Corp with Raiden Mei and Siegfried.
Jizo Mitama at her waist was unsheathed, completing its Overlimit transformation amidst purple light.
“Ling, I’m counting on you!” As the blade was driven into the ground, the ME Corp’s surveillance systems and all Titans were paralyzed.
At the same time, Cocolia’s location was marked. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
“The third basement level, the location of the person you are looking for.” Ling’s voice was transmitted to Kiana through Jizo Mitama.
The unpredictability of space came in handy at this moment, and Kiana brought her old father and Raiden Mei to appear right before Cocolia.
“How is this possible?!” Cocolia looked at Kiana, who had broken through defenses to reach her.
That elusive nature, that control over space, instantly made her recall the Herrscher of the Second Honkai Impact, the nightmare of countless people—the Herrscher of the Void.
“I didn’t expect an unexpected gain.” Kiana looked at Gray Serpent, who was shielding Cocolia and trying to escape.
With a point of Jizo Mitama, a virus forcefully froze the opponent in place.
“Effortless.” Kiana was very satisfied with this harvest.
As long as she had Gray Serpent, she could head to the Elysian Realm to unlock the bonds of The Thirteen Flame-Chasers.
“Kill them!” Cocolia shrieked, but the Titan army, which should have been invincible in her eyes, raised their fists and aimed them at her.
“Mei, go absorb the Honkai Energy in the reactor.
Dad, please go catch that rabbit in the shadows.
Be careful; that rabbit is quite strong.
As for Cocolia…
Mei, I’ll wait for your return.” Kiana controlled those Titan mechs to crush Cocolia’s limbs.
Listening to her wails, she casually stuffed the black umbrella from Gray Serpent’s hand into her mouth to block out the noise.
“Alright, I’ll leave this to you, daughter.” Siegfried did not refute Kiana’s arrangement.
A warrior’s intuition allowed him to lock onto Bronya, who was trying to escape into the shadows.
However, before he was about to chase, Kiana suddenly patted his shoulder gently, and an extreme cold—a power that was exceptionally familiar to Siegfried—began to emerge from within him.
“Go, Dad.
You can now wield the Might of An-Utu without injury.” Kiana shared the power brought by the ignited bond between the two Kaslanas with Siegfried.
It was the power from their bloodline, the power of ice known as Parvati.
Siegfried didn’t say much, just took a deep look at Kiana.
After sighing inwardly that his daughter had grown up and now had little secrets of her own, he chased after Bronya.
“Next…
let me take a look at your brain, Gray Serpent.” Kiana came before Gray Serpent and lowered her head, speaking gently to the Jizo Mitama in her hand: “Are you ready, Ling?
After Otto is killed, I will be able to take you to find your sister, although she is only a Remembrance…”
“Sister…” Listening to Kiana’s words, Ling felt a complex mix of emotions.
“She won’t blame you.
And…
can you bear to let her live on like this, holding onto longing and guilt?” Kiana’s words tore through Ling’s defenses.
Thinking of the expression on her sister’s face when she was sealed, she made up her mind.
“I’ll go, Kiana, I’ll go…
Even if that sister is only a Remembrance, I still want to see her, say sorry to her, and tell her that I never blamed her.
I have always, always loved her!”
Hearing Ling’s sincere cry, Kiana smiled.
Jizo Mitama stabbed into Gray Serpent’s body, and her voice remained as cheerful and warm as the sun: “Then, as you wish, Ling.
I will definitely take you to see your sister!”
Jizo Mitama exerted force again, spreading through the World Serpent network, and then…
Kiana locked onto the World Serpent’s stronghold, as well as the deepest secret of the World Serpent: the Elysian Realm.
“Kiana!” Raiden Mei rushed back after absorbing the Honkai Energy, and returning at the same time was Siegfried, who was holding Bronya by the back of her collar.
“This is the little girl you were looking for, right, Kiana?” Siegfried put down the bound Bronya and couldn’t help but exclaim: “I was also startled when I saw that big robot, but that robot is really cool.”
Yes, Siegfried, like Welt, liked big robots.
After all, that was a man’s romance.
“What do you want to do to Bronya and Mother Cocolia?” The bound, emotionless little girl stared at Kiana.
After all, the man who caught her and the Herrscher of Thunder on the other side were both led by that white-haired girl; she must be the leader.
“Bronya Zaychik, your biological mother was Alexandra.
After your biological mother died, you were trained as a child soldier, codenamed: Silver Wolf of the Urals.
During a mission to assassinate Cocolia, you were influenced by her and joined the orphanage, where you met a girl named Seele…”
Hearing half of her life story being recounted just like that, even though half of her emotions had been burned away, Bronya still panicked when she heard the keyword’Seele’ and struggled frantically.
“Who are you?
How do you know about Seele!”
Facing Bronya’s question, Kiana merely struck a pose like Nox from ZZZ and replied: “I am the one who knows everything, Bronya.
Now I ask you, do you know about Cocolia’s plan to turn Nagazora City into a dead city to stimulate Mei’s awakening?”
