The End

"Warning! Nuclear fusion reactor overheating! Forced shutdown in 10 seconds!"

Amidst this warning, Himeko clearly saw the white-haired girl in the Third Herrscher's arms awaken and tear apart the Herrscher's wings, condensed from high-concentration Honkai Energy, with one hand.

The final outcome of this event was the two girls falling onto the Hyperion's deck in an embrace.

Muryōtō Himeko, exhausted and unconscious, did not see the young man in Fu Hua's arms when Fu Hua returned.

Meanwhile, Theresa Apocalypse, after defeating the man who called himself the First Herrscher, did not choose to pursue him.

After sending the severely injured personnel to the medical bay with the logistics team, she arrived at the Hyperion.

"He's still alive, Major Himeko. He's become one of the only four survivors in Changkong City, first enduring the Honkai Infection, and then surviving the pursuit of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Ganesha. Such a miracle has actually happened. Is this divine favor, Major Himeko? Your promise doesn't seem to have completely failed."

Theresa Apocalypse stared at the data that popped up after the analysis, stunned for a moment, then sighed.

She knew everything that had happened back then due to her position, and her swift arrival in Changkong City was also due to her concern for Himeko's condition.

It seemed Muryōtō Himeko was worthy of her position. However, Theresa could only guess how much torment lay deep within her heart.

And when she saw Su Qing'an's face, Theresa understood that Muryōtō Himeko had not completely broken her promise.

As the only male among all survivors, this young man had lived the hardest life. His injuries were so severe that even with Destiny's medical technology, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed in a short time.

Furthermore, for some unknown reason, his mind seemed to have suffered a severe drain, an area current technology cannot reach. According to the medical team's report, the young man would likely remain in a deep sleep for some time.

But besides that, another person's information shook Theresa even more.

Kiana Kaslana.

On May 1, 2006, with Theresa's help, Siegfried took Kiana away from Destiny.

However, Otto had already detected their plan and dispatched pursuit forces the moment Siegfried left.

Although Siegfried successfully escaped, he lost Kiana, taking only Kiana's clone, K423, with him.

The girl currently bearing that name was undoubtedly K423.

"Siegfried Kaslana, you gave her that name?! What exactly are you trying to achieve?"

As Kiana Kaslana's godmother, and even the proposer of that name.

Theresa Apocalypse was furious at that moment, wanting to smash Judas's Oath onto that unreliable man's head.

As the girl's godmother, she wanted to take her away from her grandfather's control at all times. But if one day, that girl found out that even her only reliable name had been given to her clone by her father, Siegfried, what would she think?

To pass down the Kaslana family name means you have acknowledged her as qualified to be a member of the Kaslana family.

But why did you name her Kiana?

Do you see this child as a replacement?

If so, it would be a huge injustice to either of them.

Undoubtedly, K423 doesn't know her true identity. In that case, how should I treat her?

Siegfried, you damn bastard, you really know how to leave people with difficult problems.

As long as she doesn't stop chasing your footsteps, she will eventually know her true identity.

At that time, how will you conduct yourself?

This girl's physical age is only 7 or 8 years old.

But from the moment she was successfully born, her future was destined to be filled with many hardships.

Theresa's anger would only be directed at Siegfried, but this child was innocent.

She knows nothing. Her life is an illusion, and even what she pursues now is just an illusion.

Before the despair she is destined to face in the future, Theresa hopes she can live a happier life.

Then let's keep her at St. Freya Academy. Compared to other branches of Destiny, this place might be able to fill her illusory life with something real.

And what about the former ME Corp young lady, Raiden Mei, who was manipulated into becoming the Third Herrscher by Cocolia?
