"But you chose to stand on Otto's side..."

"Do you know the truth about all of this? Do you know the experiments I went through? Do you know what that person did?"

"Why... you're so strong, you're not a bad person..."

Why are you helping Schicksal?

Not only Kiana was puzzled by this question, but the movie audience also noticed something was wrong. Durandal was clearly a person with such a strong sense of justice, so why did she choose to stand on Otto's side?

Durandal also had her own opinion in response to Kiana's excited question.

"If it weren't for Schicksal, who would protect the billions of people on this planet from the Honkai? You were once Valkyrie of Schicksal, so you should know this very well."

"There is no absolute good or evil, right or wrong in this world, only mission. And I am only fighting for my own mission."

After Durandal finished speaking, the atmosphere became even more silent and cold.

"There's no way to determine who's right and who's wrong in this matter."

Mei sighed.

For Kiana, she had done nothing wrong, yet Otto ruined her life, even her destiny, so she could never forgive Otto.

For Durandal, Otto is not important; his mission is to lead Schicksal, fight against the Honkai, and fulfill the duties of Valkyrie.

The importance of a leader.

The importance of someone who can lead people in fighting against the Honkai.

Perhaps only when the stories of the Previous Era are shown will the audience know.

"In my opinion, Kiana asked Otto, but Durandal answered her with Valkyrie." Su shook her head.

"To put it simply, the actions of the Schicksal Institute will likely leave Durandal conflicted if she truly has a strong sense of justice," Mobius said with a wicked grin.

Front row.

"I think Durandal is right, but I can't stand what Grandpa did to Kiana." Theresa looked conflicted.

"Headmistress, protecting the world isn't something that can be done by sacrificing someone. Otto's actions towards Kiana weren't to fight the Honkai, but for his own selfish reasons—to revive his lover," Mei said seriously and earnestly.

In Mei's opinion, no matter the reason, Otto's actions towards Kiana are unforgivable.

The chilling atmosphere was broken by a muffled thud overhead, followed by the sound of alarms. The ceiling above them had been breached by a mech, and Kiana seized the opportunity to escape.

"The World Serpent has invaded Schicksal?" Ling's mouth dropped open. "Is it really going to be like what Brother Jie said? Kevin, give Otto..."

As a Honkai Impact 3rd enthusiast, Vill-V immediately realized what had happened and remembered the video that the official Honkai Collapse Official Website had released halfway through.

"Do you guys remember? The lyrics from that video back then, 'Snake head against spear tip'."

With Vill-V's reminder, everyone remembered the video.

In the video, Kevin and Durandal are facing off.

"Does this mean Kevin is going to fight Durandal?" Elysia asked.

When the video is mentioned, Vill-V thinks of not only this part, but also that segment.

Kiana and Mei are facing off.

Vill-V was curious: given the current plot developments, what kind of situation would lead Mei and Kiana to fight each other?

Could Kiana and Fu Hua be together?

Front row.

Kiana, who had read the script, knew what was going to happen next, but the Arlene sisters didn't. They naively believed that Kevin would come to Kiana's rescue.

Next, it'll be time for the family to pass on the torch.

Kiana's lips twitched. When she was dubbing this scene, she remembered that in the first movie, Kevin stabbed his father as soon as they met. Is this something that is passed down?

Bronya noticed Kiana's expression, pondered, and guessed what would happen next.

The Brainless Idiot's expression...

Is there going to be some ridiculous development in the plot next?

"What's wrong, Sister Bronya?" Seele was leaning on Bronya's shoulder, looked up and asked.

"Nothing, Seele."

Bronya felt there was something wrong, a big problem.

Kiana seemed to notice Bronya's gaze and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

But Bronya interpreted that one glance as a provocation.

Damn it, that Brainless Idiot is provoking me, I knew it!

Chapter 233 Kevin and Fu Hua's Reunion

Kiana, who had escaped, took the elevator all the way to the ground and hid in a corner of the ruins. She watched the fierce battle between the Valkyrie of Schicksal and the World Serpent Army. Just as she was about to leave, she was attracted by a figure in the distance.

Just then, as if sensing her gaze, the man also raised his head.

Their gazes met, focusing across a distance of thousands of miles, and Kiana saw the other person's face clearly.

"... Kevin Kaslana?"

Kevin's every appearance is full of style, and his strong demeanor is shaped by the plot. His actions in the previous movie were too swift and fast, making people look forward to Kevin's serious battles.

"Kevin always makes such a domineering entrance," she said sourly.

Although he's already middle-aged, Hen still harbors a dream of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) hero.

Kevin scratched his head and smiled.

Meanwhile, in the front row, Bronya was furious as she watched the man on the screen who had revoked her "driver's license." It was because of him that she needed Seele to save her later.

Otherwise, he would have simply ridden his motorcycle and taken Seele away from the Sea of Quanta.

Bronya glanced at Kiana.

So this is what provocation is?!

Kiana was completely bewildered, not understanding why Bronya often looked at herself instead of the big screen.

When Kevin and Kiana met, the camera focused on Otto at the Schicksal Headquarters. Through the experiment just now, he saw that the Herrscher of the Void's potential to interfere with the Imaginary Space was undeniable.

Therefore, when Durandal reported that the base had been invaded by the World Serpent, Otto only tasked her with protecting the Second Divine Key. As for Kiana, who had escaped, he was confident that her whereabouts could not escape Schicksal's surveillance.

"World Serpent and Schicksal are at war. As major organizations fighting against the Honkai, why doesn't Anti-Entropy join in the fun?" Little Knowledge asked excitedly. She wanted to see rivers of blood flow.

"Anti-Entropy?" Fu Hua wasn't looking down on Anti-Entropy, but if Anti-Entropy didn't have any hidden strength, its current strength would probably be nothing more than sending food to Kevin.

Fu Hua felt that Little Knowledge Shi kept saying it was unfair, but if anyone was really being unfair, it was Yaqing who was being unfair to Kevin. The office worker had managed to surpass three bosses and become the leader of the World Serpent.

"I don't think Schicksal and World Serpent will go to war." Himeko had a different opinion. "First of all, given Otto's personality, he would never deliberately provoke someone as powerful as Kevin. And Kevin is more likely to come and subdue Schicksal and fight against the Honkai together."

"Himeko- sensei, if that's the case, can Otto really submit to someone else?"

Bronya clearly disagreed.

In her view, Schicksal and the World Serpent are destined to clash.

Himeko, however, believed that the two, each with their own ulterior motives, were destined not to fight.

The scene shifts back to Kevin, who listens to the Jackal's battle report. He instructs the Jackal to hold Durandal back, while he will deal with the Herrscher of the Void himself. Then, he closes his eyes.

Kevin searched for Honkai energy within a radius of a hundred miles. A small turbulent current caught his attention. He opened his eyes and looked at the building ruins thousands of meters away.

The girl's gaze met his.

"Found it."

Kevin's tone was calm, as if he had found a runaway pet rather than Herrscher had destroyed civilization.

Kiana, on the other side, quickly looked away, suspecting that the other person had already discovered her.

Just as Kiana was about to leave the city through the ruins, Kevin suddenly appeared in front of her.

Where do you want to go?

Kiana stared wide-eyed at the man before her, completely paralyzed, even her trembling had ceased.

"You're here... to kill me?"

Kevin's deep gaze, like that of a predator looking at its prey, prompted Kiana to ask a question.

Kevin did not answer Kiana's question.

Kiana felt a scorching flame surge towards her chest as the greatsword, burning with fire, plunged straight into her heart without hesitation.

"Holy crap!"

At the Central Europe Schicksal Headquarters, Ziegfried jumped up from his chair in fright, while Otto looked on with great displeasure.

Although it was expected that Kiana, as the Herrscher of the Void, would not be persuaded by Kevin's kind words, no one expected that Kevin would stab her in the back directly, and with the Judgement of Shamash.

While I was surprised, I also felt it made sense.

After all, in the first movie, Kevin also stabbed his junior Ziegfried with the Judgement of Shamash right away, but that time it was to allow Ziegfried to unlock Kaslana's true power.

"I don't think Kevin wanted to kill Kiana. Otherwise, given Kevin's abilities in the story, he could have killed Kiana from thousands of meters away. Why would he have come to her in front of her?" Mei analyzed.

"You scared me to death! I really thought Kiana was dead." Elysia soothed her heart, which was pounding wildly with fright, her large breasts trembling slightly as she kneaded them.

Kevin and Yaqing stared intently at the screen.

It wasn't because of the unfriendly looks from those two people at all.

"Have you ever thought about this? May, Kevin wanted to use death to force Kiana to unleash the limits of the Herrscher Authority, but if Kiana fails to do so, she will truly die, after all, that is the Judgement of Shamash,"

May had already considered answering the question that Vill-V raised.

"Isn't there Fu Hua too?"

As if in response to Mei's words, countless feathers fell, and Kiana's figure, pierced through the chest by the Heavenly Fire, gradually faded. Fu Hua reappeared, standing between Kevin and Kiana.

"Feather of the Wind... Hua, it's been a long time."

"Kevin, stop."

There was no joy between the two men at seeing their former comrades; Kevin remained as cold as ever.

Fu Hua told Kiana was panting heavily, to leave quickly and not look back.

"I wanted to walk with you a little longer, but now it's time to say goodbye."

"Class monitor, no..." Kiana tried to say something more, but was interrupted by Fu Hua.

"Do you remember our promise in Sky Dome City? You promised me you would buy me time. Now, leave here."

"If you die here, your promise to change the world will be nothing but empty words. Do what you should do; it is your responsibility."

Kiana wiped away her tears and chose to run away. As one of the survivors, she couldn't let their sacrifice go to waste.

Kiana's figure faded into the dust, while Fu Hua smiled slightly as she watched her leave.

"Goodbye, Kiana."

Hearing Fu Hua on the screen, which sounded like her last words, everyone suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

Is Fu Hua really going to be taken offline?

Although Fu Hua always survived perfectly well whenever they had this premonition, the reason they couldn't overcome the fact that the other party was Kevin, who had once brought the Finality Herrscher to a standstill.

" With Kevin so obsessed, is Hua really going to log off?" Pardo asked worriedly.

"Even if Kevin is completely obsessed, he wouldn't harm a former comrade-in-arms," Yaqing said. "Besides, how did he become so obsessed?"

"Yes, how did he become so obsessed..." Su realized something was wrong halfway through her sentence, opened her eyes and looked at Yaqing, seemingly using her clinical knowledge to see if Yaqing had a mental problem.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Yaqing.

Unlike the discussion in the back row about Kevin's obsession, the front row mainly discussed Kiana's escape.

"They actually left the old antique alone. If it were me, I would definitely fight alongside him." Little Knowledge said fiercely.

"This is different, Little Knowledge." Fu Hua's mother once again lectured Little Knowledge: "Those who survive must inherit the legacy of their ancestors. She carries too many responsibilities on her shoulders. Besides, even if Kiana stayed, facing Kevin, what difference would that be from suicide? Furthermore..."
