The Real Kiana Is Durandal?! (Continued)
Theresa pilots the assault ship toward the Imaginary Seed, and suddenly the scene from the second movie appears, showing her taking a family photo with Cecilia's family on the Schicksal Floating Island in 2000.
It was a peaceful afternoon.
Cecilia tells Theresa why she wanted to create a Valkyrie Academy: it was to help the students who were about to become Valkyrie become different from her, and to allow them to enjoy experiencing the world as human beings.
"... Just as you said, Cecilia."
In the flashback, Cecilia and Theresa established the Valkyrie Academy, named St. Freya, and after a dazzling white light, the divine lament "Amazing Grace" resounded once again.
Theresa turned around and smiled with satisfaction.
"The students of St. Freya have grown to a level that we can hardly believe."
"They are able to decide their own destiny and choose what they want to protect. Even if they are separated by great distances, they will not stop moving towards tomorrow."
"Although... they do cause all sorts of problems, you're right, Cecilia."
"This is a future different from ours, and this is the future we should protect."
Theresa took a deep breath.
"Judah, my old friend, you have always been all-powerful. So... help me one last time."
It's more like a revolving lantern than a memory.
If they didn't know that Theresa was still alive and well in the Post-Honkai Odyssey and had even become a bishop of Schicksal, they would have really thought that Theresa had sacrificed herself.
There's no way around it, Amazing Grace is just too unfair.
It's fair to say that when the Amazing Grace played, in their hearts, Theresa was doomed to die. It's fortunate that Post-Honkai Odyssey aired too early; otherwise, the comments section would be filled with people mourning Theresa's passing.
"Is Theresa finally going to stand up?!"
It's no wonder Little Knowledge was pleasantly surprised. Theresa's most powerful display so far was when she fought Sirin in the Second Honkai and when she fought the Herrscher of the Void in Queen's Arrival.
Despite being S-Rank Valkyrie like Durandal, she fails to project the imposing presence expected of S-Rank Valkyrie to the audience.
"Judah's Oath, Zero Rated Power, Divine Grace Barrier, Directional Deployment!"
Countless golden gears unfolded beside the Judah's Oath, and chains flew swiftly toward the Imaginary Seed in the sky. In Setsuna, the energies of the constraints collided, decomposed, dissipated, and collapsed.
Theresa Apocalypse achieved her expected victory, and the expected cost.
As Theresa watched the Imaginary Seed disappear on the horizon, her vision blurred, and she collapsed to the ground, like a bird with a broken wing.
Just then, a beam of white light descended from the horizon, so gentle that it posed no threat whatsoever, and shone upon Theresa.
The light was so familiar.
In her memory, she had only felt this way with one person.
"Cecilia ..."
Hearing Theresa's final murmur, the audience who witnessed this scene were stunned.
Cecilia?!
In their minds, Cecilia had already been sentenced to death.
But... how do we explain the light that Theresa felt on her deathbed?
Unless, Theresa has mistaken someone for someone else.
"I knew it... I knew that Cecilia, as the protagonist of the first movie, would not die so easily."
Elysia stopped crying and started laughing.
Her pretty face, which had just been moved to tears by the memories of Amazing Grace and Theresa, now broke into a smile again.
Eden frowned slightly.
She didn't approve of Elysia's decision to open champagne at halftime.
She didn't think the white light was Cecilia either.
"Elysia, I think it's unlikely."
Even though he knew this would shatter Elysia's beautiful fantasy, Eden didn't want Elysia to get too deeply involved and end up being hurt even more.
Elysia's smile vanished.
"Eden, why?"
The reason Elysia believed in that beautiful fantasy was that she didn't want to believe it was a backup plan left by Otto. Because of Cecilia, she didn't want Cecilia to have anything to do with the Fool who was about to destroy the world.
"No, Elysia, you don't understand what I mean."
Eden shook his head.
"I don't think it's Cecilia, nor do I think it's Otto. Do you remember the True Kiana that was suddenly mentioned in the first half of the movie?"
Eden's words struck Elysia like a bolt from the blue.
Watching the plot for several hours straight.
Elysia no longer cares about the previous plot.
"Oh right, True Kiana... But is it really possible for someone to fall from a height of several thousand meters and still survive?"
Little Knowledge interrupted excitedly.
"Under normal circumstances, this is impossible, but Little Knowledge, don't forget, that's Otto."
Silence.
Eden was right. Otto would definitely save Zhenqi, whether for Theresa or for his future plans. As the successor of Kaslana and Schariac blood, True Kiana is an indispensable pawn.
"So, is Otto's True Kiana, which he's been hiding for so long, about to be exposed because of Theresa?"
Little Knowledge's mind has a hard time turning to this.
"Perhaps, the True Kiana has already appeared."
Fu Hua raised his red-rimmed glasses in a mysterious manner.
Kaslana and Schariac's bloodline is definitely not ordinary. Considering the real-world context, only a blonde figure came to mind for Fu Hua.
Who is it?
Little Knowledge still looked completely bewildered.
Fu Hua sighed.
The scene shifts to a strange place where a voice resembling Ziegfried is narrating something. Shan Jing's personality is different from Ziegfried's roguish nature.
This voice has a personality more similar to Kevin's.
In the Imaginary Space, Durandal received a string of noise that was completely inaudible. In order to return to the outside world as soon as possible, she followed the direction indicated by Geniuß and found the note left in the drifting bottle.
The person who left the note seemed to have encountered some insurmountable difficulty and had been imprisoned here for a long time. He wanted to pass the final trial, but lost himself in the process.
When Fu Hua saw Durandal appear, she was already certain of her inner guess.
"That voice... Ziegfried?"
Little Knowledge still has a strong impression of Ziegfried.
For example, a powerful attack.
"No wonder we haven't seen Ziegfried for so long. The last time we saw him was when the World Serpent took away the Judgement of Shamash. It turns out he lost himself because he failed the test."
Little Knowledge had already equated that voice with Ziegfried.
How could someone like Ziegfried, who was willing to sacrifice himself for his family by launching a powerful attack, remain unmoved after learning of Kiana's suffering?
Unless they are seriously injured, or... imprisoned.
In conclusion, Little Knowledge had a very good impression of Ziegfried.
At least the second Honkai 3rd was shown first. If the second Honkai 3rd hadn't been released, Little Knowledge's impression of Ziegfried would probably have been that of a philandering rogue who touched the buttocks of every Valkyrie in the world.
Durandal continued in the direction Geniuß had indicated and soon found a flower-like structure. On the nearby red sand, she also noticed a photograph.
Those photos were taken at places like HOMU Paradise.
Unfortunately, there's only half a picture. At the torn edge, you can see a small hand and some white hair; it seems to belong to a small, white-haired child.
It's practically an explicit clue.
If the audience still can't guess it, then they're just being stupid.
["Holy crap, this photo is Kiana, right? It must be! That means Durandal is..."]
All the viewers who thought about this got goosebumps, partly because of the plot holes left by the screenwriter, and partly because of Otto's ruthlessness.
"That's a photo Ziegfried left behind, isn't it? We haven't heard from him since he was captured by the World Serpent. I thought he was imprisoned somewhere by the Gray Serpent, but I didn't expect him to be in the Imaginary Space."
"My Otto (* Anti-Entropy profanity*), not only did you ruin someone's family, but you also brainwashed their daughter! You (* Anti-Entropy profanity*), you deserve to never win Kallen, you Anti-Entropy simp!"
The barrage of attacks is extremely aggressive.
This comment should make viewers feel ashamed.
The comment was quickly banned by the official team, and the account was also banned.
This infuriated a certain lobster-headed PhD in North America.
It was precisely because of this that the audience suddenly remembered the time in Sky Dome City when Durandal was ordered to take Kiana away, Mei cried behind her saying that she couldn't do anything.
What was originally a sad thing turned into a funny situation after you put yourself in Durandal's shoes as Zhenqi.
You are not good enough for my sister!
There's nothing I can do...
Elysia's mouth gaped slightly, her face filled with astonishment.
She had considered this possibility, but she hadn't dared to delve into it further.
"Durandal... she... she... she... she..."
Pardo was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Little Knowledge was also surprised, but after glancing at the calm Eden and Fu Hua, she suppressed her surprise again.
"Stigmata ...power...trials... Ziegfried ... World Serpent ... Kevin ... Kiana ... Kaslana ..."
These clues surfaced one by one in Mobius's mind.
But they're always missing a single thread to connect them.
This made Mobius very uncomfortable.
If Durandal is to inherit the hidden power of Kaslana's legacy, then... was Otto's decision to send Durandal to this place intentional or accidental?
If it was intentional, what exactly was Otto's purpose?
Mobius grasped Yaqing's hand.
Before Yaqing could react, his hand was already clasped with Mobius's.
On the other side...
Kiana's CPU is burnt out.
The Kaslana sisters.
She is Kiana, her eldest sister is also Kiana, and her second sister is also Kiana.
Who exactly is Kiana?
Kiana gained control of Kiana's power, and then Kiana captured him. (Celestial Meteor)
So who am I?
Kiana was stunned.
Kiana.
Mei suddenly shouted.
Kiana then snapped out of her daze and blurted out, "Mei, which Kiana are you calling?"
Mei and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
Oh no, the child has been mentally impaired.
"Speaking of which, Aunt Cecilia is really amazing in the story. She only had one daughter, but she ended up with three daughters."
