The World-Ending Tune / Seeing the Good Through Another's Eyes / Otto: What a Jackal! What a World Serpent!
"Perhaps I should have paid more attention to your literary interests back then, Kiana."
Upon hearing Himeko's voice, Kiana couldn't help but shiver.
"Himeko, I've already graduated!" Kiana, sounding like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Sigh." Himeko sighed, "I feel really guilty that I won the Outstanding Teacher Award this year because I helped you graduate successfully."
"Himeko, who said you were going to get the Outstanding Teacher award this year?"
Theresa smiled maliciously.
Himeko movements.
"How many classes did someone skip because they were drunk?"
"Hehe." Himeko an awkward laugh, her heart bleeding. Without the bonus for being an outstanding teacher, she would have to buy so many fewer bottles of wine.
"Hehe." Kiana covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of smugness.
Back row.
Mei couldn't help but ponder whether her experimental time would increase to another level if she possessed the Feather of the Wind.
Chapter 227 A Little Tune of Annihilation / Seeing Beauty Through Blind Eyes
Because of the Feather of the Wind, Kiana witnessed a scene on the moon 50,000 years ago, and saw Kevin and Hua's conversation. To the tune of world destruction, Kevin's eyes were resolute.
"Kevin, I'm sorry about the argument between me and Dr. MEI, and about the things I said to you."
"There's no need to apologize to someone you can entrust your life to."
Kevin's tone was solemn. From his words, it was clear that he was not the villain that the audience thought he was, but a protector of human civilization. The most important thing was the several plans set by May.
Stigmata Project, Seed Project, Ark Project, Ganges Project.
"Hua, I believe the hope for a permanent end to the Honkai lies within this."
"To reach that day, humanity will sacrifice a great deal... but humanity will never lose hope."
"This music is so sad... and so depressing, like being in the deep sea where you can't see a ray of sunlight and there's no future in sight." Elysia suddenly felt an urge to cry.
"Are only Fu Hua and Kevin there?"
Seeing only Fu Hua and Kevin appear on the moon on screen, Mei murmured to herself, remembering that eight warriors participated in the Finality battle on the moon... Could it be...?
"A civilization heading towards extinction is destined to be a tragedy." Sakura sighed, recalling her own death on the screen, and couldn't help but pat Rin's head.
"Damn it! Hasn't anything changed?!"
"Humanity cannot escape its predetermined demise."
The angry voice of Kalpas and the compassionate voice of Abo Zhaoya rang out at the same time.
"I believe that they, the people of the present civilization, will find a different path and end the Honkai. Isn't that what we want to see?" Su opened her eyes and smiled gently. "The fate of the present generation is still for them to choose."
"Handsome...!" Kosma was silent for a while, then suddenly said.
Witnessing the lives of ordinary Flame-Chasers in the Golden Courtyard, experiencing joy and arguments, they did not need to sacrifice for civilization or give their all to fight against the Honkai. This is the greatest beauty.
Elysia looked at Yaqing as if she sensed something, and found that she couldn't understand the smile on his face at all. It seemed to contain all kinds of emotions, a mix of feelings.
Yaqing noticed Elysia's gaze and looked at her.
What kind of eyes were they? Elysia could only imagine them as two blocks of solid ice, with a blazing flame sealed within them.
"Very nice..."
Hearing Yaqing's murmur, Mobius looked at him with a puzzled expression. At that moment, everything returned to normal, as if someone had borrowed those eyes to see the beauty around them.
Mobius held Yaqing's hand tightly.
Elysia leaned on Mei's shoulder. She was certain that Yaqing's gaze towards Mei had been rather strange. A bold idea suddenly popped into her mind: Could it be that Yaqing also had multiple personality disorder?
Front row.
"This song..."
Kiana was lost in thought.
"It's depressing, isn't it?" Salome turned to Kiana and explained, "This song is called 'The World-Destroying Little Song' by Yaqing, an aria sung by Eden with deep emotion."
"I don't know why, but hearing this tune makes me want to cry." Kiana wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
"The last time this tune was played was during the Final Lesson."
Bronya's words silenced everyone, just like Kosma's.
"Don't worry, this tune will have another chance to appear later."
Salome glanced meaningfully at Kiana, who was leaning against Mei.
Upon waking from her dream, Kiana tells Fu Hua what she saw, and Fu Hua also mentions Kevin's name to Kiana.
Kevin Kaslana, the ancestor of the Kaslana family bloodline, a survivor of the Previous Era's Finality war, and humanity's most powerful protector, would have been the best outcome had he perished in the Finality war.
According to Fu Hua, the Finality battle changed Kevin, and he began to implement the Stigmata Project. Many pioneers did not agree with this project, and some even rebelled against him until he disappeared.
Fu Hua warned Kiana that Sky Dome City was too dangerous at the moment, and knowing Kevin as she did, she would definitely kill Kiana once she found her.
"... So, is running away all I can do? Like the past three months?"
Kiana chose to stay in Sky Dome City.
Fu Hua didn't insist, but repeatedly emphasized that if Kevin's whereabouts were discovered, they must temporarily avoid the area.
"Even Fu Hua, the Scarlet Bird Immortal, is so wary of him, just how strong is Kevin?" Theresa wondered. In her opinion, Fu Hua, who could severely injure a six-core Herrscher, was already an incredibly powerful being.
"Headmaster, the class monitor is very powerful, but Kevin is someone who can shut down the strongest Finality Herrscher for 12 hours." Mei remembered the scene Ziegfried witnessed in the first movie.
"Even Kevin couldn't defeat the Herrscher of the End, does the current civilization really have a chance?"
"Theresa, don't be so pessimistic. Aren't people online saying that St. Freya Academy is Herrscher Academy? You can just train another Finality Herrscher, right?" Himeko joked.
Theresa retorted, "St. Freya Academy is clearly Valkyrie Academy. If that's the case, then Himeko, you are! You're the one who taught all the Herrscher; you're the true teacher of the Herrscher!"
"Yes, it's a bit of a pity." Himeko said dejectedly, not as if she were joking. "If the 'me' in the story could really survive, it wouldn't be impossible."
Himeko's words made Theresa feel extremely guilty.
"Himeko, I..."
"Alright, Theresa, what's with that expression?" Himeko chuckled. "Seeing my student become Herrscher fighting for humanity, I think my character in the story would be very gratified."
Theresa couldn't sleep even more at night.
Back row.
"Will Kevin really go through with this? Although Kiana is an artificial human, she still has Kaslana's bloodline in her veins, so she can be considered Kevin's descendant..." Elysia hesitated for a moment.
"Given the way the little follower is obsessed, and considering the Herrscher of the Void consciousness within Kiana, let alone Kaslana's bloodline..." Mobius sneered, "Even his and Mei's own son would have to take a hit."
"Huh?! I was thinking that as Kaslana's ancestor, Kevin would help Kiana get revenge."
Ling Tianzhen's idea was quickly shattered by Mobius.
"What kind of scene are you looking for? It's not a gangster movie." Sakura tapped Rin's forehead with annoyance.
"Judging from Kevin's behavior, let alone seeking revenge, I doubt he can even reach some kind of agreement with Otto."
"Huh, a gathering for deceased wives?"
Kalpas's words silenced Kevin and Mei.
Chapter 228 Otto: What a Jackal! What a World Serpent!
Since they chose to stay in Sky Dome City, Kiana and Fu Hua decided to take a risk and return to the industrial area to find Raven and pry information out of her in order to understand the specific steps of the Stigmata Project.
After Kiana and Fu Hua left, Rita, who had been unconscious, quietly opened her eyes, a complex expression on her face.
Rita was puzzled to see Kiana talking to thin air, but she didn't have time to think about it too much. After contacting Yarvete, she learned that the communication was being interfered with and that she could not contact the headquarters.
Therefore, Rita deliberately left a message that, although she couldn't contact Durandal, could be seen by Mei and Tesla, who were still searching for Kiana in Sky Dome City.
"So other people can't see the Feather of the Wind? Then in Rita's eyes, am I just a lunatic talking to thin air?" Kiana complained, but in her heart she was glad that the people Schicksal for her couldn't see Fu Hua.
"Kiana, what you're focusing on isn't this, but rather the way the class monitor's voice sounded, like it had snapped when she was trying to persuade you," Bronya said, hitting the nail on the head.
"Oh right! Why is that?"
Kiana realized what was happening.
Bronya guessed, "If we disregard the film's production issues, it's probably because the squad leader's use of Feather of the Wind is gradually weakening. If it runs out, the squad leader will..."
Bronya didn't finish speaking. In her mind, only two possibilities came to mind: one was that the class monitor could reappear after replenishing his energy after disappearing, and the other was that the class monitor was completely offline.
Kiana wasn't really stupid; she naturally understood the meaning behind Bronya's words.
"Back then, Kiana was truly all alone..."
The usually carefree Little Knowledge became somewhat silent when discussing this topic. Although she often bickered and argued with the old antique, she never thought about what she would become if Fu Hua disappeared one day.
It is said that twins have a telepathic connection. Fu Hua seemed to sense Little Knowledge's thoughts and held her hand.
Little Knowledge turned her head away haughtily, but did not pull her hand away.
Back row.
"Kiana, she really..."
With the Void Herrscher consciousness eyeing them from within, Kevin sharpening his knives from without, and the added threat of Schicksal's bounty and the World Serpent, Kiana still tirelessly works through the night to save the citizens of Sky Dome City in this critical situation.
What might seem like a foolish and stupid choice to others has made Kiana a true Valkyrie.
Himeko's teachings, her belief in protecting the people, and the bloodline of Kaslana are all vividly embodied in her.
While Kiana and Rita were taking action, Raven received another message from Jackal, who instructed her to hold off the Herrscher of the Void.
She almost made Raven laugh; she risked her life to drag the Herrscher of the Void.
Jackal explained earnestly that, based on the information she had consulted, the newly born Herrscher of the Void's power was not as unattainable as imagined.
"Perhaps? It is said? Ha, there are too many assumptions in your words. Perhaps the Bishop of Schicksal has methods we are unaware of?"
"Otto? Everyone knows that Otto is a coward who hides behind the Valkyrie."
"Your sense of humor is really reassuring..."
The Jackal sounded like a brainwashed madman, even his tone carrying a hint of warning and threat, while Raven's expression suggested she was interested in the Stigmata Project...
"Everything went as the snake wished."
"???"
Otto, who was happily watching the movie after appeasing Kallen, was completely bewildered and upset when he suddenly heard his own name called out, followed by the label of "coward."
Otto smiled, but secretly he made a mental note of it.
Jackal?
World Serpent Technology Co., Ltd.
Well done.
Aside from Kallen, probably no one can save the person Otto has his eye on.
"I feel like Jackal's character design is... well, you can't say she's stupid, but you also can't say she's smart." Mei was silent for a moment. "Who gave her the courage to think that Herrscher are easy to defeat?"
"Although I also hate Otto, I'd rather he really be a coward hiding behind the Valkyrie, that would be great!" Kevin said.
Although Otto enjoys plotting and scheming, it doesn't mean he lacks martial prowess. Viewers of the first movie will remember how Otto casually toyed with the pseudo- Herrscher of Death in the first film.
Kevin suddenly thought of a hellish joke.
From another perspective, could Otto killing Joyce be seen as the Bishop of Schicksal personally entering the battlefield to kill the First Herrscher, thus adding another force to the fight against the Honkai?
Kiana successfully infiltrated Shencheng Pharmaceuticals and happened to encounter Raven directing a convoy to relocate. The coincidence made Fu Hua sense something was wrong. As the convoy drove onto the highway, Kiana decisively chose to take action.
