"I believe you can do better than me. You will never lose to [her]. Never."

"Because—you are my daughter."

Ziegfried's voice was overflowing with love for his daughter, bringing tears to the eyes of many.

Ziegfried's carefree and irresponsible demeanor initially gave people the impression of him as a spoiled brat, but later, he launched a brilliant attack for the one he loved, changing everyone's perception of him.

Now we see Ziegfried's love and unwavering devotion to "Kiana".

"Ziegfried was a good father."

Kevin sighed.

Yaqing nodded subconsciously, then quickly realized what was happening and turned her face away.

As a devoted brother-in-law, no matter how well Ziegfried behaves, the brother-in-law will never be kind to the brother-in-law who "stole" his sister.

"Tsundere".

Mobius pinched Yaqing's cheek and turned him back.

Yaqing mumbled incoherently, "Xi Jie, you should never say 'sleepy paper'..."

"Too talkative."

Mobius slapped him in annoyance.

"First came birth, then awakening, so what's next is probably..."

Mei swallowed hard.

Since the Herrscher of the Void wants to tear apart Kiana's painful memories, then the following part is definitely inevitable.

"Mei, what you're saying is..."

Elysia guessed it too, but couldn't bring herself to say it, because it would be too cruel to Kiana.

"May, Elysia, what kind of riddle are you two playing?"

Kevin scratched his head.

They had no idea what had happened.

Ziegfried remained silent, but the smile on his lips was unmistakable.

"Honey, my brother's description of you is really good."

Cecilia leaned on Ziegfried's shoulder.

"That's right! Brother Yaqing and I are best brothers for life!"

Ziegfried's smile was wild, so wild that his tongue was sticking out.

Cecilia shook her head.

The three Kaslana sisters, Cecilia's love for Sirin in Honkai 3rd is vividly portrayed, while Ziegfried's love for Kiana reveals the father's inner strength.

Now, only Durandal remains.

She believed that Yaqing would write a very good story about Durandal.

Kiana closed her eyes.

She knew Ziegfried loved her, and that even if he left her, it was because the Herrscher of the Void hated him to the core.

She emphasized to the Herrscher of the Void that after meeting Mei and Bronya, she formed a bond with everyone at St. Freya and made a vow to fight for all that is good in the world.

Without Ziegfried, she wouldn't be who she is today.

Upon hearing Kiana mention St. Freya, the Herrscher of the Void decided to make Kiana confront her most painful memories. With a wave of her hand, the surrounding scenery changed once again, transforming from Siberia into the Hyperion.

Himeko stood quietly on the deck of the ship.

Kiana felt as if she had been hit in the heart by a sledgehammer.

"Remember this place? Oh, you won't forget. She's going to die in ten minutes."

The Herrscher of the Void looked at the stunned Kiana with amusement.

The intro to "Nightglow" began at this moment, like a knife cutting into the hearts of the audience, piece by piece.

"You've been avoiding this topic, both in front of the dolls and now."

"But you always knew—at that time, I did kill her."

"Ah, I suddenly have an idea. If we injure her here, she won't be able to go to the front lines and won't have to sacrifice herself. Wouldn't that make you happy?"

The Herrscher of the Void snapped her fingers crisply, watching Kiana's reaction with amusement. As the snap sounded, several Honkai Beasts suddenly appeared, roaring as they charged toward Himeko stood like a statue.

"Oh dear, I'm such a kind-hearted person!"

The words spoken by the Herrscher of the Void infuriated Kiana even more than the doll itself.

"I won't let you succeed!"

Kiana angrily rushed forward, shielding Himeko and engaging the Honkai Beasts in combat.

Just as Mei guessed, the Herrscher of the Void would never let the Final Lesson go. Himeko's death was like a thorn in Kiana's heart. If Kiana were to see the Final Lesson again from her own perspective...

"That's too cruel..."

Elysia looked distressed.

Mei frowned, her blood pressure rising, and glared at Yaqing.

Yaqing's eyes were filled with the foolishness of college students.

That's really shameless.

Mei cursed under her breath.

"Every time I see Kiana and the Herrscher of the Void, I think of Mei and the Herrscher of Thunder. The Raiden Queen is like a cool older sister who cares about Mei. They are both Herrscher Persona ..."

Sakura thought for a moment.

"It's like comparing heaven and earth."

"And Seele and Dark Seele!"

Bell raised her little hand.

"Yes, Little Knowledge is also a good kid. Although he is a bit 'rebellious,' he still cares about Fu Hua."

Pardo felt that Little Knowledge, as Herrscher Persona, was a good boy compared to the Herrscher of the Void.

"Next, it's likely that Kiana won't be the only one to be targeted; we might be targeted as well."

Blanca sighed.

When Nightglow plays, it's like a harbinger.

There must be a knife.

Before this, none of them had anticipated that Himeko, who had already been "confirmed dead," would be able to use her Final Lesson to kill them one last time.

Watching Kiana quietly wipe out the Honkai Beasts, the Herrscher of the Void sighed dramatically, mocking Kiana, saying that this was just a memory and couldn't change reality.

"As you wish, she will once again step onto that battlefield, exert all her strength, only to die meaninglessly, becoming a loser."

The Herrscher of the Void casually waved her hand.

It was this casual attitude that completely enraged Kiana.

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

Faced with Kiana's rage, the Herrscher of the Void smiled disdainfully.

"Then tell me, what did she save?"

The Herrscher of the Void disdainfully stated that after Himeko's death, St. Freya Academy fell apart and became deserted. Raiden Mei betrayed Kiana, Bronya also drifted further and further away from her.

"No, they saved me. Teacher Himeko saved me!"

Kiana retorted.

"She cursed you."

The Herrscher of the Void sneered. She always maintained that aloof and superior attitude, like a god in the heavens, and humans were as insignificant as ants in her eyes.

She pointed out that on that day in Sky Dome City, Kiana instinctively pulled the trigger to end it all, but Kiana didn't, because she wanted to live, because Himeko made Kiana live, carrying with her a lifelong sense of self-blame and guilt.

"She saved you, but left an eternal curse in your heart, a wound that can never be healed, a regret that can never be resolved! That is the source of her obsession!"

The flames burned and solidified into a bright red gem.

"I think it's time to put an end to this."

The Herrscher of the Void grasped the Plague Gem floating in her palm, her impassioned voice stirring the emotions of the audience.

Love is a curse.

Elysia clearly disagreed, but what the Herrscher of the Void said made sense.

"Elysia, I can tell you don't agree with that statement, but love is indeed a curse. Raven has been cursed ever since because of the phrase 'live well,' and Kiana is the same."

My own Vill-V is very gentle.

"But..."

Elysia paused for a moment, then said, "But Himeko certainly wouldn't want Kiana to live in self-blame and guilt. I think love is a curse. It's Himeko's hope for Kiana, that she can keep going, that she can inherit her will, and fight for all the good things in the world."

Elysia's understanding of love is full of fantasy.

"But without a doubt, it left an indelible scar on Kiana's heart."

Mei sighed.

"The Herrscher of the Void realized this, so she wanted to use Himeko's death to break Kiana."

"But this is also a two-way street."

Elysia shook her head.

"Seeing Himeko again might not only benefit the Herrscher of the Void, but also Kiana. Seeing the person who left the scar might help heal that scar."

"Elysia, you're right."

Vill-V already knew that Elysia wasn't just someone who could be killed by knives on the surface; she could think and analyze.

However, Elysia would share these kinds of things with others.

To the romantic Elysia.

Chapter 412 Fighting for all that is good in the world.

"Himeko- sensei is not a loser!"

Kiana, who had been feeling down, finally cheered up a bit.

"Damn it! If Himeko hadn't shown mercy, we would both be dead by now! How dare she say that! That despicable Sirin!"

Kiana gritted her teeth, directing her anger at the Herrscher of the Void at Sirin.

Bronya tilted her head.

From the perspective of the Herrscher of the Void, it's somewhat understandable to say that Mei betrayed Kiana, but to say that she and Kiana are drifting apart? She remembers that in Seele's One-Day Adventure, Seele went to the cake shop with Kiana and Seele just last week.

You call this drifting apart?!

Bronya didn't know what to say; her feelings were rather complicated.

"I think I understand..."

Mei's eyes looked strange.

"Mei, what do you know?"

Seele was puzzled.

"Seele, you and the other... Dark Seele are truly one entity with two personalities, but Kiana and Sirin are not, they..."

Mei is a bit hard to say. These two sisters are at odds with each other, they're practically enemies.

Seele could detect a clue from Mei's expression.
