I Love You, Kiana (Continued)

Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment? The tip of the sword of Might of An-Utu points at Otto.

"!!!" xN

All the Valkyrie present gasped in shock, as they were astonished that someone would dare to speak to Otto in such a tone.

It was as if Bai Ge was the true high-ranking person in 903.

Otto frowned, but then relaxed his brow.

Do you want to be his enemy?

What an arrogant tone!

In their previous contest, Otto had only witnessed Bai Ge's cunning and wisdom, but Otto never expected that this young man would also have such an arrogant and domineering side.

For centuries, no one had dared to speak to him like that, Otto felt a mixture of anger and novelty.

"Hahaha~ You really do surprise people as always, Bai Ge. But... I'm here to fight against the Honkai and protect humanity. Today, Otto Apocalypse is a righteous partner."

"Otto, have you no shame? If you can be called justice, then there is probably no evil in this world."

Bai Ge rolled her eyes and said sarcastically.

If that guy's statement had been heard by a certain swordsman, he'd probably have to break down the world barrier on the spot and unleash an Unlimited Blade Works attack on him. Justice? Otto, do you even deserve that title?!

However, the skin of Soul Steel is always extremely thick.

Otto shrugged and said with an innocent expression.

"Of course, as the Archbishop of Schicksal of Schicksal, how can I not be a partner of justice for my diligent fight against the Honkai? And Bai Ge, I'm not lying, today... I'm here to defeat the Honkai."

Snap!

Otto snapped his fingers as he spoke.

The next second, the Schicksal Battleship placed a huge 3D projection in mid-air, and a high-precision camera from somewhere accurately captured Kiana in the crowd below.

Suddenly, an image of Kiana several hundred meters in size appeared in the sky, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to Kiana.

"Bai Ge, you may already know that this Kiana Kaslana is actually the original body of the second Herrscher of the Void. Her body is a mess."

Otto's words shocked the entire audience.

Almost everyone present was startled.

"What? Kiana is actually Herrscher's original body!"

"This, how is this possible? Isn't she from the Kaslana family? How could she become Herrscher's prototype?!"

"Wait a minute, Mei is Herrscher, but isn't she also Valkyrie? Perhaps Kiana is the same."

"But this is still incredibly shocking."

What is Herrscher? They are the apostles of Honkai, a calamity that destroys humanity! They have twice destroyed humanity's brilliant civilization!

Although all the Herrscher who have awakened in the Current Civilization are willing to fight for humanity, it is still impossible to completely dispel the doubts and worries in everyone's hearts.

Theresa, Himeko, Fu Hua, and the others all frowned deeply. The fact that Kiana was the original body of the Herrscher of the Void was known only to the people in the dormitory of the St. Freya Academy.

However, Otto suddenly revealed her to the public, catching everyone off guard.

"I... I am the prototype of the Herrscher?"

Kiana was also astonished, her eyes widening in surprise.

Having spent so long at the St. Freya Academy, even though she always slept in class, she had already gained a deep understanding of Herrscher. The Kiana subconsciously raised her hand and pressed it to her chest, finding it hard to believe that she was also a Herrscher who had not yet awakened.

After a moment's hesitation, she immediately denied it loudly.

"What Otto are you spouting, Otto? How could I possibly be Herrscher? I am a warrior of the Kaslana family! A knight born to protect humanity from the Honkai!"

The Kaslana family is a surname that any Valkyrie who has studied the history of Honkai will know.

It represents humanity and the sharpest sword against the Honkai; for thousands of years, the Kaslana family has always stood on the front line of the fight against the Honkai.

This surname carries unimaginable glory.

That's why it might not matter if someone else became Herrscher, but it's different for Kaslana... No one can believe or accept that someone in this family would become Herrscher.

Over 500 years ago, the Saintess Kallen Kaslana was cruelly hanged simply for declaring that she had fallen in love with a Simulated Herrscher named Yae Sakura.

If someone with this bloodline were to become Herrscher, in that era, even being torn to pieces would be too lenient.

At this moment, let alone St. Freya Academy.

At this moment, even those on the side of Schicksal began to question it.

Someone in the Kaslana family has become Herrscher? Bishop Otto, what kind of tasteless joke are you making?

"Don't worry, Kiana, you haven't violated the Kaslana family's ancestral precepts and rules."

However, Otto remained calm, shook his head, and spoke again, uttering the forbidden number.

"After all, you are not a member of the Kaslana family at all, and your real name is not Kiana Kaslana, but experimental subject K423."

"K423? What... are you talking about?!"

"K423, you don't actually have a father or a mother. You are just an artificial human created from an experimental chamber. Even though your blood has the same composition as Kaslana's, you are not a member of that family. You are just an experimental subject."

Cruel words are like a sharp blade.

It pierced Kiana's heart cruelly.

She unconsciously began to take deep breaths, looking down at her trembling hands, fear gradually growing in the girl's heart.

"No way, this can't be! I'm not some experimental subject! My name is Kiana, I have a mom and dad, I..."

"The name you are using now does not belong to you; it belongs to Siegfried Kaslana's real daughter. He merely bestowed this name upon you as charity."

Otto's words were like the devil's cacophony.

He cruelly denied Kiana's very existence, bit by bit.

"Your name is borrowed, your birth is wrong, your past is fake. Your only reality is the Herrscher Core that was buried inside you from the moment you were born. Experiment subject K423 is your only reality."

These words struck the white-haired girl's heart like a heavy hammer.

At that moment, Kiana felt a chill run through her entire body.

She instinctively hugged her arms tightly, feeling as if she had stepped into a cold, snowy mountain.

"Kiana, cheer up!"

The voices of her companions nearby brought Kiana to her senses, and she immediately screamed hysterically.

"Liar! You must be lying! I, I can't be like that! I am Kiana Kaslana! I must be Kiana Kaslana! I am definitely not the K423 and Herrscher body you're talking about!"

"Sigh~ Still not giving up? Fine, then I'll show you the evidence. I don't think you have this memory."

Otto looked at Kiana with pity, then projected the despair he had prepared beforehand into the sky.

Disillusioned with life, Xin Zhong wrote the epitaph of the vulture's heir.

That was a disaster that awakened in a small town in the snowy mountains.

Several 'Spear of the Void', which could be considered proof of the Herrscher of the Void's identity, hovered beside a girl who looked to be ten years old. The girl had white hair, golden eyes, and features that were extremely similar to Kiana's.

She floated silently in mid-air.

The Spear of the Void shot out in the direction of her finger, piercing through everything in its path.

Even though she looks like a ten-year-old girl.

But he gives the impression of a young god!

"This is me, no, no, this isn't me, my eyes aren't golden, this is definitely not me!"

Kiana clenched her fists so tightly that blood flowed out.

She said it as if she had grasped at a straw.

However, her lifeline snapped the next second.

A white-haired man appeared in the video and swung a scorching sword at the young Gods.

The moment Kiana saw the man, her thoughts ceased... It was Siegfried, it was Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment.

At this moment, the girl's fragmented memories from when she was ten years old were retrieved in the worst possible way, and at this moment she understood.

When he regained consciousness, he saw flames igniting the entire forest—flames of the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment. He was certain that he was the one who severed Siegfried Kaslana's left arm!

After being stopped by the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment's sword, the girl in the projection slowly turned from gold to blue.

Kiana trembled as she raised her hand to touch the corner of her eye... it was her eye!

"I really am Herrscher, how could this happen..."

"Well, now you understand, right? You are a Herrscher, but unlike any Herrscher that has ever appeared before, you are Herrscher who stands on the side of Honkai, an enemy of humanity."

"No--!"

The white-haired girl collapsed to her knees, clutching her head in despair.

At this moment, the once positive and optimistic 'Kiana Kaslana' has broken down. Despair fills the white-haired girl's blade and gradually spreads throughout her body.

She couldn't believe that the girl in the projection was herself, but it was an undeniable fact.

Otto glanced at the Honkai Energy detector in his hand.
