Durandal Learns the Truth About Her Origins; A Bizarre Subordinate
Mobius glanced at it with disdain.
"You should feel sorry for yourself, senior."
Yaqing's expression was becoming more and more like that of the teacher who had raised him since he was a child.
The Arbiter introduced himself from the outset: he was the will of this space, an extension of the Stigmata; the so-called Stigmata was not simply a destiny etched into DNA, but constantly influenced the decisions of its owner.
The arbitrator made it clear.
Through his trial, one can gain the ability to defeat Otto, but simple attacks will not harm him, and he did not even set the rules of this trial.
Everything he did was to guide someone's descendants, to guide the inheritor of that special Stigmata.
Durandal frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
Kevin Kaslana's Stigmata, passed down through her bloodline to this day, gave birth to this space, and to the Arbiter before us.
"So... Otto's goal is to have Durandal inherit the power of the Kaslana Stigmata, but what good will that do for his plan?"
Mobius's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
Because she never imagined that Otto wanted Kiana and the others to successfully stop him, the most unlikely answer in their minds.
Mei felt as if the fog had been cleared and the sun was shining again; a flash of inspiration struck her.
"We've hit a dead end. Maybe from the beginning, Otto hoped that Kiana and the others could stop him."
"What?!"
Mobius was taken aback by these outrageous remarks.
Yaqing glanced at Mei with a meaningful look.
"Otto's words can be believed, but not entirely. If he could really turn back time 500 years, why would he tell Theresa and the others? When things really come to an end, Theresa and the others won't be able to stop it even if they want to."
The idea that Mebius mentioned was something that Mobius had thought about before.
"Then there's only one possibility: he didn't choose the plan with a higher success rate, or rather, the other plan had a higher success rate."
"And that plan requires Kiana and Durandal to stop him."
"Or rather, he needs to rely on the Herrscher of the Void's abilities, because Kiana alone is no match for him, who has the power to restrain and control. So he wants Kiana to find an outside help, which is why he specifically banished Durandal to this space."
Mei spoke eloquently.
Kevin's eyes were filled with admiration.
Mobius was still somewhat skeptical, but having learned her lesson, she wasn't bold enough to continue betting with Mebius.
After all, the embarrassment she felt from wearing a pink dress last time was still lingering in her heart.
Before revealing the true truth to Durandal, the consciousness of the Stigmata decided to let her see one more memory.
That was a conversation between Otto and Ragna.
Zhenqi's tragic condition was beyond the audience's imagination. She was hit on the head by a flying object at an altitude of several thousand meters and then free-falled to the snow mountain. Despite all of this, she still had vital signs.
This prompted some viewers to unleash their national treasures.
How could it survive?
No wonder even Otto said that True Kiana is a monster with tenacious vitality.
All that was sacrificed was memory; not a single piece of physical tissue was lost, at most the hair color changed.
Otto told Ragna that he didn't want her to be Kiana Kaslana anymore; he wanted her to embark on her true path and become the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal.
It is to become a better person, one who is more in line with Schicksal and the future of humanity.
Ragna still had a hesitation. She was afraid that one day Durandal would realize that her memories had been altered and that she had been deceived. What would Otto do then?
"When that moment comes, I will give this child a goal that is far more important than personal grudges."
"And once she achieved this goal, she also took revenge on me."
"That would be a happy ending for everyone, don't you think that's great?"
Otto planned out a child's entire life.
He had also planned out his own ending.
It's chilling to think about.

Chapter 492 Durandal Knows Her Origins, the Abstract Yaqing.
Youlan Daier
Why are you able to enter Kaslana's Stigmata Space even though you don't have the surname Kaslana?
Why can you see these memories?
Why are you able to control the Abyss Flower?
[Torre-yum!]
There's only one answer to all of this...
[Yamero!!!]
Durandal!
That's because you are Kiana biological daughter of Ziegfried and Cecilia!
Hahahahaha!!!
After Durandal finished reading the last memory, she appeared somewhat dazed, pinning her hopes on either Ragna's or Otto's memories.
The Stigmata consciousness ruthlessly shattered her illusions, constantly changing into familiar faces: Kiana, Otto, Rita. It made it clear that this space belonged exclusively to Kaslana's Stigmata Space.
All the memories Durandal has seen so far belong to the same group of people, whose bloodline, named Kaslana, is forever stirring.
"To put it another way, Miss Durandal— "
"Not only does the blood of Kaslana flow in your veins, but the memory we just saw was indeed recorded from your own senses."
"You... are the third person involved in that memory."
Durandal remained silent.
"In that memory, you were called by Otto Apocalypse— "
"Kiana Kaslana".
Durandal's pupils contracted, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
At this very moment, the strongest Schicksal of herself, the goddess, truly learned about her origins. This was not only cruel to her, but also cruel to another girl.
"Otto's goal has been achieved. After Durandal lost her memory, under his careful guidance, she became the strongest Valkyrie was beneficial to Schicksal and humanity. After learning about her own background, she will eventually turn against him."
Eden swirled the wine glass in his hand, which he had somehow acquired.
Now, she finally understood why Otto had specifically banished Durandal to Kaslana's Stigmata Space. On one hand, it was to let Durandal know about her origins, and on the other hand, it was to fulfill his plan and promise.
"I still cannot condone such behavior."
Elysia shook her head.
Otto may have made the right choice in fighting the Honkai and protecting humanity, but this action does not change the fact that his actions are harming Durandal and Ziegfried's family.
Everyone has the right to make their own choices.
Otto, on the other hand, thwarted Durandal's choice.
"Holy crap, falling from thousands of meters in the air and getting hit in the head, and he's still alive?!"
"This is simply superhuman! It defies all logic."
Little Knowledge was surprised and made a sarcastic comment.
Kiana (Silly Goose), the epitome of freefalling from several thousand meters without a parachute!
"Indeed, after all, Kiana at that time was just an ordinary little girl, at most with the bloodlines of Kaslana and Schariac, and probably didn't even have Honkai energy."
Fu Hua had no choice but to admit it.
Kiana didn't participate in any experiments, and she doesn't have Honkai Beasts genes in her body. A normal person who went through all this would probably have passed the seventh day after death.
"Don't even mention Ziegfried thinking Kiana is dead, any normal person would think that Shinki is dead."
Xiaoshi is full of complaints.
"Pardo, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Pardo didn't say a word and seemed to be thinking about something, Little Knowledge couldn't help but feel curious.
When Pardo heard the question, she blurted out the answer.
"Kiana's physique is definitely related to the bloodline of Kaslana and Schariac. So I was thinking, if men had children with men, how terrifying would it be if Kevin and Yaqing had a child?"
Little Knowledge:...
Fu Hua:...
Eden:...
Elysia:...
Everyone remained completely silent.
Fu Hua's lips twitched slightly. Pardo had finally been infected by Sakura, this fujoshi. She then noticed Elysia's glowing eyes and looked helpless. She wasn't the only one who had been infected.
"What a bunch of people who don't know how to appreciate things."
Yaqing, sitting in the back row, was muttering to herself.
"What?"
The sound was too soft for Mobius to hear.
"Nothing."
Yaqing was clearly unwilling to say more.
But soon, Mobius grabbed his cheek, displaying his domineering nature as a girlfriend.
"Speak quickly!"
Yana had no choice but to honestly explain, albeit in a mumbled way, that in this part of the story, he actually wanted to use the name Youlan Daier, but he was strongly opposed by Salome and the others.
Especially Rita.
Upon hearing the desired effect from Yaqing, the opposition was stronger than anyone else's.
How could a lady possibly show such a hysterical state!
I disagree! Absolutely disagree!
Rita shook her head like a rattle-drum, not even caring that her hairstyle was messed up.
Yaqing was helpless. If he insisted on continuing with his right-hand women working together, how could he pass on the work to them in the future? How could he slack off in the future?
Hahahaha.
Mobius laughed so hard he almost fell over.
Mei suppressed a smile.
"Yaqing, whether I should say it or not, you are truly a very clever person."
Kevin smiled and pointed at Yaqing.
Yaqing was even more depressed.
Mobius could only pat him on the head as encouragement.
Durandal's feelings were complicated, not because she suddenly learned about her background, nor because the name had any special meaning to her.
Rather, it was because she thought of Ziegfried, whose life was full of regrets, and of the person with whom she had just improved her relationship, who, with her will, courage, and even her life, gave the name Kiana its true meaning.
She clearly understood that this was a complex and harmful truth, and that if the timing was wrong, the simple truth would not bring them salvation.
Until the right opportunity arises, she can only assume that Cecilia's biological daughter died ten years ago.
