She was one step away from pushing Lin Yu down on a bed!

Sigh, if only he were here at a time like this...

"Wow, there are so many people here today."

Sigh, am I hallucinating because I miss Siegfried so much?

At the scene, Lin Yu, Yuno, Mei, who had met Siegfried before, looked in a certain direction with great surprise after hearing Siegfried's voice.

Meanwhile, Siegfried, who had returned to Anti-Entropy Headquarters using the Quantum Teleportation System, greeted his old friend Welt first.

"Hey, Welt, I've crawled back from the depths of hell."

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? I didn't think you were dead at all."

"No, wait, you..."

Seeing that it was indeed Siegfried himself, Welt said blankly.

"Siegfried, weren't you captured by Kevin?"

"Oh, about that..."

Hearing Welt's question, Siegfried scratched the back of his head and continued speaking to Welt.

"Ancestor Kevin captured me for a while, but this morning he suddenly released me from the Stigmata Space."

"According to him, he knew you were going to fight Otto, and his plans needed to be revised, so he didn't need me anymore and sent me back."

"Also, I'd like to mention that Ancestor Kevin asked me to pass on a message to everyone..."

After coughing lightly twice, Siegfried looked at Lin Yu, whose expression was strange, and said with a subtle expression.

"The ancestor said that he will participate in the final battle with Otto this time. Before he takes down Otto, the World Serpent will temporarily cease hostilities with Schicksal and Anti-Entropy."

"When the time comes, everyone, especially Brother Lin Yu, please hold back. If you really want to fight, then wait until you've dealt with Otto."

Chapter 289. She almost pushed Lin Yu down onto the bed!

Everyone present had faced Kevin, the strongest being from the Previous Era.

Kevin was indeed in a sorry state when Lin Yu cleaved him in two last time, but that did not make people underestimate him.

Kevin was easily defeated by Lin Yu not because Kevin was too weak, but because Lin Yu, at full power, was too strong.

Moreover, the group of people who are now self-aware are well aware that without Lin Yu's participation in the battle, they might not be able to defeat him even if they fought him together, let alone one-on-one.

Now, Siegfried says Kevin will be joining the battle to defeat Otto, and everyone...

Of course, it's impossible to immediately shout "Yay!" and accept the information.

At this moment Yuno recalled the information in her mind and looked at Lin Yu with unease.

"If I remember correctly, Wendy once told us that Kevin was 'rescued' by Otto, right?"

"Otto did Kevin a huge favor, but... will he really be on our side?"

"Oh, I don't think we need to worry about that."

Looking at his companions who were all waiting for his opinion, Lin Yu nodded slightly.

"At least in this matter, I think Kevin can be trusted."

"That man isn't a fool. A month has passed, and he should have realized just how much harm Otto has caused to this world."

"We are simply on different paths than him. Kevin Kaslana is undoubtedly an enemy of the Honkai."

"Kevin will be involved too, huh? Oh well..."

After muttering something to himself, Welt spoke to Siegfried.

"You all stay here and don't move. I'll be right back."

After watching Welt leave the Ark using the Quantum Teleportation System, Siegfried sighed slightly, then suddenly looked at Durandal expression had been complicated from the beginning, with a determined look.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and in that instant when their eyes met, they confirmed that the other was definitely their relative.

Upon seeing her father, whom she had been very worried about, return safely, Durandal, who had many things she wanted to say to him, suddenly found herself speechless.

Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, the father and daughter, separated for many years, suddenly embraced each other at this moment.

"Dad... I'm so glad you're alright."

"I should be the one saying that, Kiana. All these years... I've been so sorry to you."

Although they had no idea what had happened, Mei, Yuno, and Wendy took a step back in perfect unison, giving the scene to the two who were on the verge of tears.

Having learned part of the truth, Fu Hua looked at the two of them and recalled a friend from her past.

Cecilia, if she were still alive...

I'm telling you, old-fashioned, you might not believe it, but I've discovered something.

Ah?

What's wrong?

[I just peeked into Durandal's mind and discovered—]

Xiao Shi, I've said it so many times: prying into your companions' minds is not a good thing.

[Come on, she called him a companion? She practically pushed Lin Yu onto the bed—forget about it.]

In short, when I peeked into her consciousness, I discovered that Cecilia... seems to still be alive?

???

Wait a minute, what do you mean by this?

[Literally, she met Cecilia, oh, right there in Haiyuan City.]

Cecilia is still alive?

Before Fu Hua could even feel a surge of joy, everyone sensed a spatial fluctuation.

Kiana, who had just left with Su, naturally returned to the Ark after handing over the ownership of the Thousand Worlds Annihilation to Su.

Then, upon seeing Durandal and Siegfried embracing each other, she instinctively called out.

"Old--"

Then, realizing that she was not Siegfried's real daughter, Kiana suddenly turned pale, shut her mouth, and took a step back.

The real Kiana is embracing Mr. Siegfried, so now...

There's probably no place for me here.

Although she knew that running away would not do any good, Kiana felt that leaving might be a good option when faced with this situation that she absolutely did not want to face.

But just as she was about to activate her powers, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness eroding her body.

Kiana, who instantly understood the situation, looked at Lin Yu in a panic.

"Senior, why—"

"Okay, stop looking at me."

At this moment, Lin Yu walked over to Kiana and pushed her toward the two Kaslana who had clearly noticed Kiana.

"What's the point of running away? You'll have to face this sooner or later anyway."

"I believe that as a qualified soldier, you can handle these things before the battle, so..."

"—Don't let me down, Kiana."

After being pushed in front of Siegfried and Durandal by Lin Yu, Kiana...

Of course, it was impossible for them to accept Lin Yu's words so easily.

The thought that she was responsible for the massacre of tens of millions of people, and even indirectly caused Cecilia's death, made Kiana, who could not forgive herself, feel that she had no right to face the two people whose lives she had ruined.

"Sigh, Kiana, I'm telling you..."

Seeing that his second daughter was clearly not in a good mental state, Siegfried sighed helplessly.

"How come after four years, your figure is still so disappointing?"

"Dad, I'm really a little disappointed."

Based on their usual interactions, after Siegfried made such harassing remarks, Kiana would typically punch him in the face in a fit of rage.

But after seeing that Kiana had no reaction at all, Siegfried knew that things seemed to be getting serious.

However, at that moment, Welt arrived at the place with another person.

The woman brought by Welt immediately fixed her gaze on Kiana, Bianca, and Siegfried after seeing the scene.

"There are new customers again..."

Siegfried, who had intended to distract his daughter with flirtatious words, was completely stunned when he looked at the woman in front of him.

Then, he slapped himself twice and gasped for breath.

It hurts.

So now, I'm not dreaming.

Meanwhile, Cecilia looked at her husband whom she hadn't seen in a long time, her biological daughter whom she hadn't seen for a week, and Sirin, who looked like her biological daughter but was actually being treated as her daughter. Her emotions surged forth.

Siegfried!

"Cecilia!"

After watching the couple, who had been separated by death, embrace each other again, Lin Yu gave a wink to his companions and then used the Quantum Teleportation System to leave the room.

A panicked Kiana glanced back at Lin Yu saw him give her a thumbs-up before leaving.

She desperately wanted to escape.

Even after Lin Yu and the others left, Kiana was still incredibly saddened to discover that her powers remained unusable.

Logically speaking, the power of Constraint Barrier, according to Kiana's understanding, should be an ability that spreads outward from the user.

However, in the hands of a genius like Lin Yu, he managed to turn the Constraint Barrier into a bizarre power that could be released at any time, released in a small area at a designated location, had its strength adjusted, and even attached to the enemy after the user left.

Kiana, who now desperately wanted to avoid all of this, suddenly saw Bianca walking towards her.

"No, don't come any closer!"

As the girl she didn't want to face slowly walked towards her, Kiana desperately tried to back away.

Just as she was about to act, Bianca, whose physical functions had not been weakened at all, took the initiative to get behind her and pushed her toward Siegfried and Cecilia, who were still embracing each other.

"Dad, Mom, I think we have other things to do before you start crying."

As expected, the real Kiana wouldn't forgive me, the 'thief,' so easily, would she?

Seeing the seriousness on his eldest daughter's face and the near-collapse on his second daughter's face, Siegfried, suppressing his emotions, released his beloved wife and looked helplessly at Kiana.

"Alright, judging from your expression, you must know about those things from the past, right?"

"Yes, I understand... My name is Sirin, not Kiana Kaslana."

"I know now, I am not a warrior of the Kaslana clan, but a demon who slaughters humans."

Even though she knew she shouldn't have said those words, Kiana realized something at that moment.

Even knowing the past, her past experiences still made her regard Siegfried as her closest relative.

In front of her loved ones, Kiana could no longer suppress her emotions and cried out to Siegfried.

"I'm not your daughter at all, I'm just a damned Herrscher!"

Objectively speaking, Kiana's words were indeed perfectly reasonable.

But looking at the girl in front of them, who was clearly emotionally broken, the three people present felt nothing but heartache.

Bianca, who sees Kiana as her younger sister, took the initiative to save her.

Siegfried and Kiana redeemed each other.

And Cecilia, who knew the truth about the Babylon Tower fourteen years ago and had long regarded Sirin as her own daughter.

Perhaps the three of them knew very well that Sirin's past actions were indeed unforgivable.
