The Real Kiana Isn't Dead, K423 Is Just a Substitute!

He believed this was truly his daughter, who had lost her memory due to the immense shock.

He held the girl tightly in his arms, using his body heat to warm her cold body.

"Kiana... Daddy's here... Daddy's taking you home."

The man's choked voice and the girl's empty eyes formed an incredibly ironic contrast.

One is immersed in the joy of something lost and then regained.

One was given a false identity and began a pre-arranged life.

Many people's eyes welled up with tears upon seeing this.

Especially those who are already parents, such as Tang San and Dai Hao.

They could fully understand Siegfried's feelings at that moment, and it was precisely because of this that they could better appreciate the malice of Otto's plan.

This is not only cruel to Kiana, but also a deception and manipulation of Siegfried!

"Shameless! Despicable!"

Dragon God, the supreme being who once ruled the entire Divine Realm, couldn't help but roar in anger. His voice, filled with the majesty of God King, shook the entire space.

He had spent his entire life fighting, always upright and honorable. He could not understand, much less tolerate, such despicable behavior.

The Dragon Prince was so angry that he trembled all over, his golden Dragon Scale appearing and disappearing.

"Such a despicable person! If he were in my Dragon Clan, I would grind him to dust and his soul would never find peace!"

The image on the Light Screen has ended.

But the impact it caused Jiujiu to subside.

Everyone remained silent, processing this suffocating truth.

Kiana Kaslana.

At this moment, the name became incredibly heavy.

Her existence is built on a lie.

Her life began with a cruel experiment.

Her family ties were a carefully orchestrated deception.

So, what is the meaning of her fight? And what does everything she protects amount to?

Suddenly, the Light Screen lit up again.

The images appearing on screen are no longer those of the past.

Instead, it's the Kiana Kaslana they know now.

She was standing on the bridge of a warship, staring blankly at the huge Light Screen in front of her, just like everyone else, watching the entire process of her "birth".

The camera slowly zoomed in, focusing on her face.

That face, which always wore a bright smile, was now completely bloodless.

Her lips trembled slightly, and her azure eyes were filled with confusion, pain, and utter collapse.

It was a kind of... despair from the collapse of faith.

"Who I am?"

The girl's lips moved slightly, making a barely audible sound.

A tear silently slid down her cheek.

Clatter

It seemed to drip onto everyone's heart.

The Light Screen slowly dimmed, leaving everyone in a state of silence and awe.

The girl named K423, a replica carrying countless pains and hopes, her very existence is a great tragedy.

Tang San frowned.

He had witnessed the unpredictable nature of the Divine Realm and experienced the turbulent times of the Douluo Continent, but an ambitious man like Otto, who used a living person as Chess Piece to set up such a long game, still sent chills down his spine.

"If he uses a clone to attract everyone's attention, what is his real purpose?"

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye gleamed with a faint golden light as he tried to capture the lingering emotions from that Nihility.

Sadness, anger, resentment... and a Sisi... confusion.

It belongs to K423, and also to that girl named Kiana.

"Their fate was planned from the very beginning," he said softly, his voice trembling slightly.

Tang Wulin's hands clenched unconsciously, and Gu Yuena beside him also revealed a complicated expression in her eyes.

They thought of their children, and of the millennia of separation they had endured.

Treating relatives as tools and blood ties as bargaining chips—this kind of behavior, in any world, is enough to touch their most sensitive nerves.

"Hmph, boring humans."

The Dragon God's majestic and indifferent voice resonated in everyone's hearts, tinged with a hint of disdain.

"To go to such lengths for the sake of so-called resurrection is both pathetic and laughable."

Chang Gongwei, Lei Xiang, A'Dai, and the others exchanged glances, all seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

As Gods who wield the Laws, they cannot easily interfere with a person's destiny.

And this Otto, a mere mortal, manipulated the lives of several people like puppeteers.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, the pitch-black Light Screen lit up once again without warning.

The scene is no longer the ruins of Sky Vault City, nor the cold Laboratory.

Instead, it was in a sea of burning fire.

A small figure huddled in the corner, shivering.

She had long, white hair as white as moonlight and eyes as blue as the sky.

That tender little face was covered in ash, and its eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.

Everyone was stunned.

Who is this girl?

She looked so much like the previous Kiana, yet younger, with a purer gaze.

[Siberia, 2007.]

A line of cold text appeared on one side of the screen.

Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a white Archbishop's Robe walked into the frame.

Long golden hair, a handsome but cold face.

It's Otto Apocalypse.

He slowly walked up to the Little Girl, squatted down, and wore an almost fake tenderness on his face.

"Don't be afraid, child."

His voice seemed to possess a certain magic.

"From today onwards, you will have a new name and a new life."

Tang Ya's face turned pale instantly as she recalled the Dark Years she had spent under the control of the Holy Spirit Cult.

She deeply empathized with the fear of being forcibly given a new identity.

What is he going to do to the child?

In the scene, Otto reaches out and gently strokes the girl's white hair.

[The real Kiana Kaslana did not die in the Second Honkai Eruption.]

[She was found by Otto Apocalypse and brought back to Schicksal.]

Boom--!

The entire space felt as if a bomb had been dropped on it.

Everyone was stunned by those words.

The real... Kiana?

That... K423...

"Wait a minute!" He Caitou's eyes widened, almost unable to believe what he was seeing. "Wasn't the previous one real? This one is the real one?"

"A clone, the real one..." Xu Sanshi gasped. "What is Otto thinking? He's hiding the real one, but letting a clone go around under the name ' Kiana '?"

Xiao Xiao's face turned pale. "This is terrible... Everyone has been deceived."

Tang San's Purple Demon Eye suddenly contracted.

An astonishing possibility surfaced in his mind.

He concealed his true form, was it for protection? Or... to forge it into an unknown, sharpest weapon?

Given Otto's style of doing things, the answer is almost self-evident.
