“Schicksal Headquarters is under attack!
It’s Anti-Entropy’s Titan Mechs and—former Schicksal Knight: Siegfried Kaslana!
Quick, go request support from Lady Durandal!”
To the east of Schicksal Headquarters, Titan Mechs were stalling the Valkyries, while Siegfried had entered the Overload Mode after the Kaslana bloodline awakening, knocking down a Valkyrie with every punch and kick.
As a veteran, Siegfried’s strength was overwhelming against the new generation of Valkyries, except for those few who seemed like they were cheating; after all, he was very familiar with Valkyrie armor.
But this unstoppable streak was soon forced to a halt as a black and white lance descended from the sky, pinning itself into the path of Siegfried’s advance.
A blonde, illegal-tier mature beauty wearing the fourth-generation Valkyrie armor, Bright Knight: Excelsis, stood in Siegfried’s way.
“Senior Siegfried…” Durandal looked at Siegfried.
She knew his story, but she didn’t understand why such a hero would attack Schicksal Headquarters alongside Anti-Entropy.
“K…
Durandal…” Siegfried almost blurted out that name, but looking into Durandal’s unfamiliar eyes, he felt only a pang of bitterness in his heart.
“Can we talk, child?” Siegfried was reluctant to cross blades with his own daughter.
After glancing at the attacked Valkyries and confirming they were only knocked unconscious by Siegfried, Durandal nodded slightly and agreed to communicate.
“Durandal, you have no memories from before you were eight years old, right?” Siegfried’s voice carried a sense of urgency; he really wanted to confirm whether Durandal was the real Kiana.
Hearing Siegfried’s words, Durandal was somewhat surprised.
She didn’t know how Siegfried knew this, and…
she didn’t understand why her heart felt a sense of familiarity when she saw him.
“Yes, how did you know?” Durandal held great respect for the heroes who saved the world during the Second Honkai Eruption, even if Siegfried was now a traitor on the surface.
“It’s true…
exactly as predicted…” Siegfried looked at Durandal and murmured to himself.
Seeing her resemblance to Cecilia, the man’s eyes couldn’t help but redden, and hot tears streamed down his cheeks.
“Senior Siegfried?” Durandal didn’t understand why she felt sad seeing him cry, as if she knew Siegfried herself.
“Do you…
know me from before I was eight?” Durandal couldn’t help but speculate; after all, it was the only explanation that made sense.
Hearing his daughter’s doubt, Siegfried simply wiped away his tears and spoke very seriously: “You are Kiana Kaslana…
Eight years ago, when we left Schicksal, you found the current Kiana locked in a cultivation tank.
You said you wanted her to be your sister, so I took that child too.
But during the extraction, Schicksal pursuers hit our plane.
A steel plate became embedded in your head, and you fell from a height of a thousand meters…”
“That’s absurd.
Falling from a thousand meters without protection with a steel plate embedded in the head—it’s impossible for anyone to survive that.” Durandal felt it was ridiculous. This chapter is updated first at novelping(.)com.
What kind of superhuman would it take to survive such danger?
“I thought it was absurd when I first heard the news too…
but if you don’t believe it, can we do a paternity test?” Siegfried said somewhat uncertainly; after all, after the Kaslana bloodline awakens, can a paternity test even be done?
“Schicksal has ways, no need to go that far.” Durandal nodded, essentially agreeing to Siegfried’s suggestion.
While Durandal and Siegfried were getting along somewhat harmoniously, on the other side, Kiana and the others encountered a cat in their path.
“Why is Miss Kiana attacking Schicksal?” Rita maintained a smile on her face, but after glancing at the opposing camp, she felt unwell.
Three Herrschers—Reason, Void, and Thunder—were attacking simultaneously; how did Bishop Otto dare let her, an assassination-specialized S-rank Valkyrie, try to stop them!
“Rita, move aside.” Kiana raised Jizo Mitama.
Rita looked closer and felt even worse.
Three Herrschers were one thing, but adding an unknown Divine Key?
She couldn’t win this.
“Enough talk, Kiana, let’s just knock her down!” Raiden Mei had already dashed out.
With a flash of lightning, our Sister Rita entered a peaceful slumber.
“Make it quick, I don’t know if Siegfried can hold out over there.” Welt adjusted his glasses.
The three Herrschers burst directly into the Bishop’s office.
Otto’s combat body hadn’t finished debugging yet.
Amber tried to block the three Herrschers, but Kiana pointed her blade at her, and her body couldn’t move.
“I said, don’t move!” Jizo Mitama was the bane of all technology, let alone this Pri-Arm version.
With just a light point, Amber was hard-crowd-controlled on the spot.
“K423…
Haha, this is truly unexpected.
Why can’t we sit down and talk?” Otto broke into a cold sweat looking at the three Herrschers surrounding him.
He felt like his plan had derailed again, but this time there was no one to clean up the mess for him.
“Look, if you leave now, I won’t hold you responsible for attacking Schicksal.
At the same time, I can revoke the warrant for Siegfried and treat you all as honored guests.” Otto wanted to call Durandal, but his body was uncontrollably stiff.
“Enough nonsense, hit him!” After Jizo Mitama hard-controlled Otto, Kiana delivered a flying kick.
The Herrscher of the Void also automatically emerged from within Kiana.
“This punch is for Dad!
This punch is for Mom Cecilia!
This punch is for Sirin!
This punch is for all the humans who died because of you!” After several punches from Kiana and the Herrscher of the Void, Otto’s current body was scrapped, and his consciousness transferred to the next one.
“Don’t think you can escape!
Higokumaru!” Kiana’s call made the Jizo Mitama in her hand glow brightly, locking onto the next Soulium Body Otto’s consciousness was transferring into.
“Pursue!” Kiana knew this surprise attack was entirely built on an information gap.
Otto didn’t expect the Herrscher of the Void’s authority to bypass all surveillance, nor did he expect the appearance of the Key of Corruption · Jizo Mitama.
If they didn’t kill Otto completely now, it would only be harder next time, potentially even having to wait until the birth of the False God to see his plan complete.
But why should he?
Otto caused the deaths of so many people; why should he be allowed to happily achieve his long-cherished wish?
Kiana was unwilling!
Cecilia, Sirin, the doctors of Anti-Entropy, Fu Hua…
the tragedies of so many people were caused by Otto.
Why should he be able to just walk away in the end?!
The gates of space opened for their Queen.
Otto had just opened his eyes when he was met with the crushing force of a black hole.
“Witness the crushing of stars!
You know nothing of the weight of this power!” The second body was destroyed by Welt; the pitch-black void crushed Otto’s body into nothingness.
The third body was torn apart by the Herrscher of the Void; the fourth body was decomposed by Raiden Mei; the fifth body was burned to ashes by a ‘Shamash, Uriel!’ from the arriving Siegfried.
“Durandal might already be on her way, speed up!”
Kiana and the others accelerated, to the point where Otto would see five large faces appearing before him the moment he opened his eyes.
Otto successively switched through a pile of bodies, but none could escape the lock the Key of Corruption had on him.
By the time the second body perished, Otto knew he had lost—lost to the information gap.
He was doomed to die, but he was unwilling!
He hadn’t resurrected Kallen yet, hadn’t finished his plan.
He was so unwilling!
With the destruction of Otto’s final body, Higokumaru could no longer sense Otto’s consciousness escaping.
That Great Bishop of Schicksal, who had ruled for five hundred years, exited the stage of Earth in such a hasty and farcical manner.
