"Teacher Himeko... Was No Failure!"

She was afraid of the echoes of the past, afraid to accept the fact that she and the Herrscher of the Void were one.

But this cowardice ends here today. She will face the past, those sealed memories, and transcend them to accept—her true self.

The dialogue, lasting over ten minutes, lacks any captivating special effects, and even the fight with Benares is done in the most basic way. Yet, it is precisely this dialogue that keeps viewers glued to the screen.

Every word spoken reflects the shared ideals and beliefs of Kiana and Sirin.

Black and white, good and evil.

The great path lies right beneath our feet.

Every different choice leads to a different life.

That cannot be refuted.

Whether it's Kiana or the Herrscher of the Void, every word they say is irrefutable, and the audience can see their sincerity, without a trace of pretense.

"Phew, this battle with Sirin is perfect. It can be said to be the pinnacle of the drama in Honkai 3rd. It analyzes Sirin's thoughts from two perspectives. Impressive."

Vill-V couldn't help but shower the praise on her.

"This is the first time Kiana has persuaded someone with words."

Elysia let out a breath.

Kiana's transformation evokes complex emotions whenever she thinks of the innocent Kiana from the St. Freya Academy.

If she could, she would want Kiana to remain innocent and naive forever.

"One is a painful past, the other a bright future, this description..."

Mei let out a breath. "I don't know how to describe this passage, but it's undeniably stunning."

Previously, viewers believed that Kiana and Sirin were not the same person, but this reversal gave everyone goosebumps.

"Yaqing, who wrote this chapter?"

Kevin couldn't help but ask.

"You guess."

Yaqing did not give a direct answer.

"Ha, it's obviously not something you wrote!"

Kevin despises it.

Mobius couldn't help but roll his eyes.

You idiot, you still haven't figured it out, Yaqing was the screenwriter for every single one of them.

"It seems that the Herrscher of the Void is about to make her appearance."

Blanca didn't know what to feel.

Many of the viewers who are Honkai are actually fans of the Queen of the Sky, and now that they see the Queen of Void is going to leave the show, they have mixed feelings.

"Whether Kiana forgives the Queen of Void or the Queen of Void is persuaded, it will be a mistake."

Sakura shook her head.

"Sister Sakura, why? Seele and Dark Seele can be together, but Kiana and Sirin can't?"

411

Chapter 411 "Himeko- sensei... is not a loser!"

Sakura gave her answer to Pardo's question.

The Herrscher of the Void and Dark Seele are fundamentally different.

Dark Seele's goal is to protect Seele, and everything she does is based on Seele. However, the Herrscher of the Void and Kiana are on different paths. One is driven by hatred, and the other by hope. They are destined to be unable to be together.

"Therefore, the Herrscher of the Void fighting Kiana with all her might be the perfect ending for this character."

"Sister Ying... you're right."

Pardo was persuaded.

Far away in Central Europe, Cecilia and Ziegfried both fell silent after watching this long, dramatic scene.

The atmosphere was unusually quiet.

"Once this week's story ends, Sirin will completely disappear from the world of anime Honkai..."

As a father, Ziegfried is different from the "Ziegfried" in the movie; his feelings are complicated. He wants to see his daughter continue to appear on the big screen, whether as Kiana or Sirin.

"Ziegfried..."

Cecilia forced a smile.

"Sirin and I met their end in the first movie. The Herrscher of the Void who appeared later was just an extension of Sirin in terms of modeling and design. Strictly speaking, she should be called Kiana."

Cecilia was ostensibly comforting Ziegfried, but it seemed more like she was trying to convince herself.

Ziegfried saw through Cecilia's forced composure and gently pulled her into his arms.

They don't watch anime much on ordinary days, but they never miss a single episode of Honkai 3rd, which is updated every week. In their eyes, it's not just an anime, but also a glimpse into their daughter's growth in another timeline.

It may be hard to accept, but the anime's "Honkai" has indeed given many people a sense of time and space distortion. Otto is the first to be affected, as he is the one who suspects the leader of the Yaqing.

Kallen remained silent.

Otto, however, smiled.

Kallen slapped him in annoyance.

Otto put on a touched expression.

He didn't feel any pain from the knife, but rather a sense of relief.

Half of it is for "Kiana", and the other half is for Yaqing.

The consciousness space suddenly changed. Under the dim light, the surroundings were incubation chambers, which were clearly the research institute of Schicksal, the place where they were born.

Kiana's claim of birth was not recognized by the Herrscher of the Void all. In her view, this place was Otto's sin, Sirin could not rest in peace even after her death. The so-called birth was nothing more than Otto's selfish desire.

Kiana stated that there were people who tried to stop all of this, to stop this absurd plan.

"It was their choice that brought about the initial change."

As soon as Kiana finished speaking, the camera switched to the training ship, where a child's voice rang out, signaling the arrival of Shin Kiana and Ziegfried to rescue her.

From the first moment she saw her, the girl whose name she had replaced wanted to treat her as her younger sister.

But it was also because of her that Ziegfried lost his real daughter. She and Sirin took away the two most important people in Ziegfried's heart.

Therefore, Kiana has always felt guilty about this memory and was unwilling to face it, which gave the Herrscher of the Void an opportunity to take advantage of her.

But now she realizes that she should not forget the kindness they showed her.

"I am K423, an experimental subject created by Schicksal. At that time, I was like a blank sheet of paper, knowing nothing about this world."

"But their choice to risk their lives to save me made me begin to become a recognized [human being]."

"This is the origin of everything."

Kiana spoke solemnly, determined to prove to the Herrscher of the Void that she was not Otto's tool, nor was she an apostle of Honkai; she was a warrior fighting for humanity.

Kiana was given the opportunity to choose because of the kindness of others.

"Is True Kiana... dead?"

The whereabouts of Kiana has always been a point of contention in Honkai. Since Kiana's identity as K423 was revealed, many viewers have been speculating whether Kiana was rescued by Otto or picked up by World Serpent.

Seeing the Herrscher of the Void say with absolute certainty that Zhenqi is dead is quite disconcerting.

Pardo couldn't believe it.

Sakura frowned.

She could be said to be the person in the courtyard who was most familiar with Schicksal, besides Yaqing.

She had naturally heard about the Kaslana sisters from Kallen, and didn't think that Yaqing would create an original identity for her eldest niece, so... she made a bold guess.

"Since you've mentioned the birth, let's see what happens next."

After a dizzying sensation, the Herrscher of the Void transformed her consciousness space from the Schicksal Research Institute to Eastern Siberia. In 2010, she awakened for the first time and took control of this body.

At that time, Ziegfried, who had lost his daughter, was hiding with K423. Unfortunately, Kiana was discovered by a stormtrooper sent by Schicksal.

In Kiana's extreme fear, the Herrscher of the Void seized the opportunity, took control of her body, killed all the pursuing Valkyrie, and even cut off Ziegfried's arm.

Both Stormtrooper Captain Ragna and Ziegfried had the opportunity to kill her, but due to a moment of soft-heartedness and hesitation, they ultimately did not do so.

"This is all your fault. Aren't you ashamed? Ordinary? Happiness? Love? You don't deserve these things, because your identity can only bring tragedy."

"Start over? How could you have such a naive fantasy? The world will only show you malice, because your very existence is a threat to the world!"

The Herrscher of the Void's cold laugh and her aloof demeanor were like a heavy stone pressing down on the hearts of the audience, making it hard for them to breathe.

"No... that's not right!"

Elysia was the first to react.

"What do you mean by bringing about tragedy? That's utter nonsense. Everything Kiana did was to help others. Besides, it seems like all the tragedies that befell Kiana were caused by the Herrscher of the Void!"

Elysia was in a panic, so anxious that her color was almost fading.

The Herrscher of the Void completely rejected Kiana's actions; the meteor that streaked Sky Dome City had touched the hearts of everyone.

Speaking of tragedies, Kiana's tragedies, Ziegfried losing an arm, and the Final Lesson, are all due to the Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void.

Since Kiana admitted that she and the Herrscher of the Void were both extensions of Sirin, shouldn't everything the Herrscher of the Void did be attributed to Kiana?

"That's utterly thuggish logic!"

Pardo angrily slammed her hand on the armrest.

"The Herrscher of the Void is so annoying!"

Pardo was furious. She had witnessed Kiana's growth and the pain and torment she had endured along the way, which made her, as viewers, both feel sorry for her and love her.

Seeing Kiana being spoken to like that by the Herrscher of the Void now makes me angry.

Kiana admitted that she and the Herrscher of the Void were extensions of Sirin, but the audience did not see it that way. In their eyes, Sirin, the Void Herrscher, and Kiana were three different individuals.

"What Void Herrscher needs to do is to tear open Kiana's past that she doesn't want to face. The premise of this discussion is that Kiana and Void Herrscher are one entity with two personalities."

Mei stroked her smooth chin.

"If Kiana wants to accept Sirin's identity, she must accept everything the Herrscher of the Void has done. Only in this way can Kiana achieve the Herrscher's ascension, fight against the Herrscher of Domination, and become the true Herrscher of the Void."

"This is just my personal guess."

Mei emphasized one last point.

The term "feathering" was brought up again by Mei.

Elysia was stunned.

It was only then that she suddenly remembered that Kiana was still inside the Theater of Domination, Jackal had said that only half-baked Herrscher would have their powers taken away.

Kiana's current experience is very similar to Mei's fusion with the Herrscher of Thunder. Only by facing herself and merging with the Herrscher of the Void can she probably avoid having her powers taken away by the Herrscher of Domination.

The audience's current speculation is all pointing to the Herrscher of the Void's ascension. No one could have imagined the "Path of Hope," and no one could have predicted the quadruple-core greatsword.

On the burning earth, the one-armed Ziegfried embraced Kiana. Kiana's heterochromatic eyes were filled with panic as she kept asking Ziegfried who had done it to her missing left hand.

Even though he was seriously injured, Ziegfried was still comforting Kiana.

"Kiana, it's okay, listen to me."

Ziegfried's voice was weak, but he tried his best to give Kiana a sense of security.

"I'm sorry, Dad may not be able to keep his promise to stay by your side forever. But remember, Dad will always love you."

"Don't worry about me, Dad will be alright. I did this to protect you, please forgive me, Kiana..."

The familiar gestures, the familiar tone of voice.

Hearing this sentence brought back memories of the Final Lesson for the audience.

"Kiana, we made a promise, didn't we? Warriors of the Kaslana family will do anything to protect others."
