Otto: He Has Lost His Father, But...

His voice was exactly the same as Ziegfried's.

His mysterious manner gave the audience the impression that this guy wasn't a good person.

The conversation also touched on Stigmata and Otto, but the conversation ended abruptly, leaving the other person in suspense.

"Oh no, could it be that Ziegfried separated his good side from himself, leaving behind a big villain?!"

Pardo blurted out.

It's no wonder she had this idea, since the voice acting for this Stigmata consciousness was Ziegfried's, and he had such a profound and unfathomable air about him.

The current comments are speculating that this might be a test set by Ziegfried for Durandal.

Elysia had obviously thought of this as well.

Eden shook his head.

She didn't think it was Ziegfried testing Durandal; Ziegfried didn't have the vision or the means. It was Kevin, though, who might be the one doing it.

"What exactly is Otto plotting with Kaslana's Stigmata Space?"

Memoso had a smooth chin.

Otto plotted to revive Kallen for five hundred years, but when the plan was finally put into action, it baffled them.

To them, every step Otto took seemed unnecessary, yet they knew in their hearts that every step Otto took was necessary for him.

Mobius, however, had a different idea from Mebius.

According to Mobius, every step Otto took pointed to an answer that the audience felt was impossible: to have Kiana and the others kill him.

"How is that possible...?"

Not only did the audience not believe it, but even Mobius himself didn't believe it.

Will I make an appearance later?

Kevin looked smug.

When you mention Kaslana now, the first thing that comes to mind is the incredibly cute Kiana Kaslana, and the second is him... the pioneer of the Previous Era, the executor of the Stigmata Project, the controller of the Judgement of Shamash, the strongest person, the savior... wait, Kevin Kaslana!

Some viewers might even think Kevin is number one.

Although Kevin used a question, he was quite certain in his heart.

Mei, standing to the side, sighed helplessly at her boyfriend's silly grin.

Durandal saw her memories once again.

That was the first time she came to the floating island of Schicksal, and the first time she met Rita. Because she was arrogant and couldn't tell left from right, she was deeply manipulated by Rita.

It's both funny and sad that the young Durandal is completely different from the current Durandal. She was energetic and carefree, unlike the dull and stoic girl, and was more like Kiana.

This further deepened the audience's suspicions that Durandal was indeed Zhenqi.

"I have to say, Bianka really looks like Kiana when she was little. It's no wonder they're the same person in the story and sisters in real life."

Little Knowledge's precise and accurate critiques.

They now agree that Durandal is the True Kiana.

"You guys don't know this, do you?"

Yaqing suddenly smiled.

"What?"

Mobius was puzzled, not understanding the meaning behind Yaqing's words.

Kevin and May, the couple, also cast puzzled glances at them.

"Bianka and Kiana's personalities were completely opposite when they were young. Bianka was mischievous and often grabbed an umbrella, saying she was going to save the world, while Kiana was a quiet and gentle little girl. I was worried that she would be bullied when she went to school."

Yaqing's happy smile was impossible to hide.

"Ah?!"

It was rare for Mobius to show such a surprised expression.

Kiana... Quiet. Is there something wrong with her ears? How could she hear two words that could never be put together?

"No, what happened in between? How can two people have such different personalities?"

Kevin blurted it out.

Yaqing thought about it carefully for a while.

"Perhaps... I raised Bianka, while Ziegfried raised Kiana."

"Hehe."

Kevin sneered; he couldn't write a single word of that sentence.

If Durandal was indeed raised by Yaqing, then she would definitely not be the way she is in the story, but rather Otto III.

Just as Durandal was reminiscing about the past, a gentle female voice suddenly rang in her ears. She didn't react for a moment and answered subconsciously.

When they came to their senses, they realized that the gray-white HOMU that had been following them had somehow transformed into HOMU of different colors: Houla and Houmei.

Upon hearing their voices, the audience was momentarily dazed, but quickly guessed their true identities from their voices: Kiana (K423), the True Kiana, and Cecilia.

The three HOMU, each speaking a line for Durandal, are also explaining to the audience that this place does not belong to any one person's Stigmata Space, but to a family, a cursed family, and the shadow left at the source of their bloodline.

They suggested that Durandal continue searching for the lost fragments of memory, as they could also recall more information to help her return to the real world.

Durandal also sincerely hoped that person could regain their freedom; deep in her heart, she always felt deep sympathy for those nameless heroes whose lives were filled with regret.

I couldn't help but recall when I was 12 years old and opened my heart to Rita.

She wanted to become very strong, even if it would make her personality dull in the future, she still wanted to become stronger.

Because her family, her teachers, her fellow Valkyrie... so many people are gone, she hates it, so she wants to do better.

And so, the hot-tempered, impulsive, simple-minded, and conceited Bianka disappeared. She constantly honed herself, becoming calmer, more grounded, and more rational, until she became someone unapproachable in the eyes of others.

The strongest S-Rank Valkyrie, destined by Schicksal, has been born.

"Old fogey, your guess has come true!"

Little Knowledge looked at Fu Hua in disbelief.

She never expected the plot to unfold exactly as the old man had predicted.

Kaslana's Stigmata Space.

"Wow, does that 'hoo-la' voice represent the True Kiana? Her voice really sounds like Durandal's when she was little. Are the writers not even going to hide it anymore?"

Pardo's rant.

If you compare the voices of the three characters in your mind—the voice of the young Bianka and the voice of the True Kiana —you'll find that they are extremely similar, and you could even say they belong to the same person.

"Actually, when you think about it this way, Ziegfried is quite pitiful too."

Elysia showed a rare expression of heartache.

Ziegfried's life was filled with tragedy: his wife was killed by Otto, his daughter's fate was unknown, and now he has lost his memory, becoming the strongest S-Rank Valkyrie under his enemy's command. In order to protect his daughter's clone, he lost an arm, was imprisoned by World Serpent, and had his family heirloom weapon stolen...

The journey has been nothing but misery.

It was as if his life as a prodigal son in the first half of his life had exhausted all his good fortune.

"I really hope that Cecilia, Ziegfried, Sirin, Durandal, and Kiana can be reunited as a family."

Elysia offered a heartfelt prayer.

Even knowing that Cecilia was dead.

"Elysia, on second thought, haven't they already achieved such a perfect ending in reality?"

Eden a soft word of comfort.

"We really want to see them reunite as soon as they regain their memories."

Pardo has a desire.

That desire is called expectation.

"That's why Durandal became like this."

Listening to Durandal and Rita's heartfelt conversation back then, it's heartbreaking to see how they had already made their plans when they were only 12 years old.

Chapter 490 Otto: He has lost his father, but...

Following Geniuß's guidance, they quickly found a new memory fragment— Theresa's memory, which was also the first time St. Freya Academy opened.

Although she only enrolled ten students, Theresa was still determined to open the school, as it was a promise she made to Cecilia. Looking at the photo in her hand, she felt a little guilty.

She failed to take good care of Kiana, Ziegfried also fled abroad, disappearing without a trace.

After seeing this memory, Durandal remained in a daze for a long time, while Houmei's eyes showed some reminiscence. HOMU and Houla started arguing because they had different opinions.

One believes sadness is needed for stimulation, while the other believes a warm and happy reunion is the best approach.

They immediately started arguing like children, oblivious to each other.

Seeing this, Durandal and Houmei couldn't help but chuckle.

Durandal laughed and said that a few years ago, she was just like Hoola, and she was prone to arguing with others no matter what she did.

"But now you are quite capable and mature."

Hou Mei looked at Durandal with satisfaction.

That gentle gaze made the audience's hearts flutter.

"You yourself... in the years you've grown taller and older, you must have experienced and carried a lot, right?"

"The higher a child's expectations of themselves are, the more they adhere to their own values... the more dramatic their personality changes will be during their growth."

Durandal smiled helplessly. In her view, as long as you keep moving forward, you will inevitably become like this. This is the so-called price of growth.

Looking at Durandal's retreating figure, a hint of pity flashed in the comical eyes of the Hōmei Doll.

But mature children are always the most heartbreaking.

Any viewer who has reached this point will have already connected True Kiana with Durandal in their mind, even the eccentric Rosalia is no exception.

"Sigh, what a pity... Cecilia didn't get to see what the silly goose looked like when he grew up. It's all Otto's fault!"

Elysia was sulking.

There are very few things that make Elysia angry, and what Otto did in front of her is one of the few exceptions.

"Otto committed countless sins, which cannot be washed away, but it is precisely because of him that Kiana has changed so much. Sadness, anger, and all other negative emotions have been pushed forward by external pressure..."

Fu Hua was interrupted by Elysia before she could finish speaking.

"Hua, you're wrong! We can tolerate evil, but we must never glorify it."

Elysia said with a serious expression.

"Sorry, I misspoke."

Fu Hua apologized very quickly, admitting that she had made a mistake in what she had just said.

Little Knowledge smiled broadly.

That look seemed to say, "You old fogey, you've finally met your match."

"We still hope that Kiana is not the mature Herrscher of Finality is now, but still the carefree, often truant Brainless Idiot from the St. Freya Academy."

Pardo understood this in her heart.

Kiana, who always had that silly smile, will never come back.

The entire Honkai is Kiana's bloody and tearful history of growth.

At most, I might see that familiar girl in the World Bubble, but she'll just be a similar flower.

Eden looked at the beautiful woman with a pitying expression as she watched the scene unfold.

She could almost understand Cecilia's feelings. If one day she had a daughter, she would like her daughter to be strong and mature, but she would hope even more that her daughter could grow up happily.

This is a mother's most beautiful wish!
