Sirin Awakens

Zhang Wei and the others had also arrived in Siberia. Schicksal could receive intelligence, and Zhang Wei, who came by every day to deliver meals, naturally discovered this at the first opportunity. However, he remained an observer here and did not intervene.

As he watched the soldiers holding Kiana hostage, his crimson eyes were filled with disdain. Doing this would only doom them beyond redemption.

When Kiana's emotions were provoked, Sirin was highly likely to awaken as a result. Then the Queen of Honkai would descend once more. However, they would step in to stop her; for now, they only needed to wait and watch.

Would Seigfried deal with the Anti-Entropy soldiers, or would Sirin ultimately awaken and turn this place into a Honkai hell?

Zhang Wei could not be bothered to save people seeking their own deaths. Using a child as a shield was effective, but he despised such people from the bottom of his heart.

"Sakura, leave the Honkai Beasts that gather later to you. Don't let anyone else discover you!" Zhang Wei instructed Sakura. Before becoming a Flame-Chaser, Setsuna had come from an assassin background, and her movements were exceptionally nimble and agile.

Some Honkai Beasts would come this time, and Sakura could eliminate them silently. If it were the enthusiastic Chrono instead, the awakening of the Second Herrscher would be nothing worth mentioning. After all, that demonic voice was far too conspicuous, so Master Chrono was still enthusiastically cooking at the ramen shop.

Not many Flame-Chasers had come this time. A Herrscher was not needed for just one Herrscher, unless that Herrscher was Finality or Binding.

"Captain, Captain, I want to kill Honkai Beasts too!"

Durandal said stubbornly. She had come with Sakura. This had happened while Sakura was teaching her, and unable to refuse her, Sakura had brought Durandal along. Besides, with Zhang Wei here, nothing should happen.

"This..."

Zhang Wei hesitated a little. It was not because he feared anything; Durandal was simply appearing too early.

Schicksal currently had a Bianca, and she looked extremely similar to Durandal. Zhang Wei knew about this too. If Otto noticed Durandal, it would be quite troublesome.

"Penguin, do you have any impression of that girl?" Zhang Wei asked instead, pointing at Kiana.

Durandal glanced over, tilted her little head, and asked in confusion, "I don't know her, Captain. Is there something strange about her?"

Her amnesia was very thorough, so she did not remember Kiana at all. As for familiarity, she did indeed feel that Kiana was somewhat familiar. However, she did not think it was because she knew Kiana, but because Kevin, who had taught her, also had white hair and blue eyes.

Zhang Wei nodded and did not explain further. Durandal would learn the truth someday, but not now.

"Sakura, let Penguin get some real combat experience today. You two should wear masks!" Zhang Wei said to them.

After receiving guidance from the Flame-Chasers, Durandal's current strength had reached the level of a peak A-rank Valkyrie. There was an obvious gap between her and a certain Paramecium who had been raised free-range by Seigfried.

As for Sakura wearing a mask, it was because Zhang Wei feared that if Otto happened to notice Sakura's face, he would immediately turn into a green-eyed monster and toss a Honkai fission bomb over here.

Sakura nodded and put on the Poison Cocoon mask. She was used to this kind of battle. The long ears amid her beautiful pink hair twitched, and in the next instant, Sakura's figure vanished from the area without a sound. Durandal also put on a mask and closely followed behind Sakura.

At this moment, Schicksal's Valkyrie squads were lying in wait upon the Siberian snowfields. Tesla's group was about to arrive, and Theresa was also rushing here with the S-rank Valkyrie Judah. It could be said that personnel from the world's top organizations had gathered here.

"Vermin, release your filthy hands☆"

Kiana's voice suddenly changed, becoming cold and indifferent, like that of a deity.

The soldier gripping her immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his scalp tingling.

Kiana opened her eyes, turned her head toward the soldier, and revealed a pair of golden eyes. They were cold and emotionless, yet filled with disgust.

The soldier's body immediately stiffened, as though he had encountered a creature at the top of the food chain.

Kiana's gaze made him unable to move. He unconsciously released the hand holding Kiana, while she stood in the air, looking down upon them with indifference.

The fluctuations in her emotions had stimulated the other consciousness within her body, causing it to awaken and take over this small body.

Boom!

At the instant Kiana's eyes turned gold, terrifying Honkai Energy swept across and filled all of Siberia.

At the same time, organizations all over the world detected this powerful Honkai Energy, and their instruments blared frantic alarms.

"Look what I've found—the Queen of Honkai has awakened once again!" Otto saw Kiana floating in midair through the live communication feed.

Those golden eyes and the Honkai Energy radiating from her made a crazed smile curl across Otto's lips.

Seeing the Second Herrscher awaken, Otto could confirm that his plan was proceeding step by step. What a cause for celebration—it was enough to open some champagne and celebrate a little.

"Kiana... No, you're Sirin..."

Seigfried's pupils abruptly contracted, and his voice trembled. Only Sirin, who hated this world, possessed such an aura.

The Second Herrscher had awakened. How was that possible? He was deeply conflicted. As a warrior of the Kaslana family, he should eliminate this Herrscher, but as Kiana's father, he could not bring down the greatsword in his hand no matter what.

"Hmph☆"

Sirin snorted coldly and discreetly glanced at the Skyfire Greatsword in Seigfried's hand. A trace of wariness flickered in her golden pupils. She had experienced this weapon's terror firsthand; it possessed the power to kill her.

"Vermin, die☆"

Snap!

Splurt!

After glancing at the Anti-Entropy soldiers, Sirin snapped her fingers. Dozens of Subspace Spears appeared out of thin air, sweeping like machine-gun fire. Treating their armor as though it were nothing, they instantly pierced their bodies and left enormous bloody holes.

The soldiers touched their chests in disbelief before collapsing to the ground in unison. Their blood pooled across the snow.

Sirin calmly wiped the blood splattered on her face, looking faintly disgusted. After all, it was vermin blood. It was filthy.

Only a few dozen people had died. Compared to the Second Honkai Outbreak, it was far from enough, and she hated humans.

Seigfried's expression was grim. He had completely confirmed it: the one before him was the Second Herrscher from back then, no longer his daughter. Yet he still did not attack, his heart filled with hesitation.

"This is the Second Herrscher? She's a little weak." Kiana looked at "herself," her expression somewhat strange. Among the Herrschers in her world, this level of Honkai Energy would rank extremely low. She even felt a little embarrassed.
