[The answer analysis now begins.]
Eldest daughter: Sirin
Sirin was one of Schicksal's test subjects at Babylon Tower. During the experiments at Babylon Tower, Sirin's friends and companions kept dying. To Schicksal's researchers, those dead girls were not even people—they were discarded like defective products.
Sirin watched her former companions die one after another. When her last friend, Bella, died, the despairing Sirin prayed to God for power. And God answered her prayer, granting her the core of the Herrscher of the Void.
Thus, the Second Herrscher was born.
Later, with the help of the Honkai Consciousness, Sirin obtained the Honkai Energy sealed away by the Previous Civilization on the moon. She also acquired the four Herrscher Cores of "Wind," "Death," "Flame," and "Lightning," becoming the Five-Core Herrscher, and learned a vast amount of knowledge left behind by the Previous Civilization.
She later used a meteorite to threaten the Second Herrscher of Reason into going to the moon alone, defeated him, and obtained the Herrscher of Reason's core.
Afterward, Sirin went to Earth and used Herrscher Cores to turn the bodies of her former companions into puppets, granting them the powers of Pseudo Herrschers. She was later defeated by Schicksal's Valkyries.
After that, Sirin obtained several feathers from the Feather of Dust and pulled Seigfried and Cecilia into an illusion.
Within the illusion, Sirin had originally intended to create a terrifying nightmare to torment them, but she unexpectedly created a peaceful and ordinary illusion instead.
Watching Seigfried's family live an ordinary yet happy life within the illusion, Sirin could not help but think, If I had never encountered Honkai Impact, if Mom had not died, could I have had this kind of happiness too?
Sirin looked at their family with both envy and hatred. She envied the Kiana in the illusion and hated those people who had stolen her happiness. So she decided to destroy it.
But for some reason, Cecilia and Seigfried treated her as their own daughter. Feeling their love and care, Sirin could not bring herself to act.
Later, sensing Bella's defeat and remembering that Seigfried had once slashed Bella's wings, Sirin decided to kill Seigfried. However, Cecilia saved him.
Sirin discovered that Cecilia had not been hypnotized by the Feather of Dust. Thinking Cecilia had been deceiving her, she decided to kill them both. At the critical moment, Welt saved the couple, and Sirin dispelled the illusion.
After leaving the illusion, Sirin was restrained by Theresa using the Oath of Judah, and her heart was pierced. But Sirin repaired her heart with the power of the Herrscher of Death, regained her ability to fight, and engaged Seigfried in battle.
After being defeated by Seigfried, Sirin triggered the Great Honkai, causing the residents of Siberia to contract Honkai Sickness.
At the same time, Otto at Schicksal headquarters feared the power Seigfried had unleashed and ordered the launch of a Honkai Fission Bomb, intending to kill both Seigfried and Sirin.
Although Cecilia used Black Abyss White Flower and the Holy Blood of the Schattenia Family to save the residents of Siberia, the immense expenditure left her in a weakened state.
At the final moment of Sirin's life, Cecilia held her in her arms, giving Sirin one last bit of warmth, and said those words:
"Ich liebe dich." ("I love you.")
In the end, she died together with Sirin in the explosion of the Honkai Fission Bomb.
[Theresa: So this was the truth of what happened back then?] [Kiana: How could this be? Mom was actually killed by Schicksal's own people!]
At that moment, Kiana's faith in Schicksal wavered somewhat. No one had expected that Cecilia, the strongest S-rank Valkyrie of that era, had not died fighting a Herrscher, but at the hands of Schicksal's own people.
And the reason was merely the absurd excuse that Seigfried's power had been too great.
[Furina: That Golden Retriever bastard wanted to get rid of Seigfried just because he was too powerful? That's outrageous! If he were in our world, I would make him spend the rest of his life in Meropide!] [Yanqing: If there were someone like that on the Luofu, I would personally lock him in the Prison of Imprisonment.] [Tesla: If it weren't for that Golden Retriever bastard's research, none of this would have happened!] [Otto: Dr. Tesla, all of this was necessary in order to fight Honkai Impact.] [Elysia: What a pity. You could tell that Sirin in the illusion no longer wanted to destroy humanity. If Bella hadn't been defeated, she might have become another Herrscher who fought for humanity.]
Only heaven knew how excited Elysia had been to see that the First Herrscher had fought for humanity. It meant her sacrifice had not been meaningless.
Especially when she saw how happy Sirin had been in the illusion, Elysia had even felt that Sirin, too, might become a Herrscher who fought for humanity.
Sadly, Sirin and Cecilia both ultimately died beneath Schicksal's Honkai Fission Bomb.
(Thanks for the tip, Ehehe? Ehehe! I'll post another chapter today.)
