K423 Sacrifices Herself to Protect Her Father, Siegfried Finally Acknowledges Clone as Daughter

"One lie, nested within another," Chang Gong Wei said in a deep voice. "He used one girl's Genes to create another, and then made the real girl fight for him, while the father who fought and bled was completely unaware of it."

The perspective of the Light Screen returned to Siegfried.

Siegfried mistakenly believed his biological daughter had died in the crash.

[He embarked on a life on the run, carrying his only "hope"—experimental subject K423.]

In the picture, Siegfried becomes decadent and depressed. He often drinks alcohol, and the eyes he looks at K423 are full of complex emotions. There is longing for his dead daughter, anger towards this "replica", and there is also a trace of pity that cannot be let go.

K423 lived cautiously, longing for her father's love, yet always shrinking back in the face of Siegfried's cold gaze.

Huo Yuhao's heart clenched painfully.

He was all too familiar with that look in his eyes.

That kind of ominous, superfluous gaze was a recurring nightmare from his childhood. Looking at the lonely Little Girl in the picture, he seemed to see his younger self.

Until one day, the pursuers arrived again.

Siegfried Honkai Energy within him and was no longer able to fight against the powerful enemy.

Just as the enemy's fatal blow was about to fall, the Little Girl he had always neglected, the "copy" in his eyes, screamed and rushed out, using her frail body to shield him.

She spread her arms wide, like a brave little animal, trying to protect the only family member behind her with everything she had.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Siegfried was stunned.

He looked into the girl's blue eyes, which were exactly the same as those of the deceased girl, but at this moment, there was no fear in those eyes, only a resolute determination to protect her at all costs.

That wasn't the brutality of the Herrscher, nor the emptiness of the replica.

That is... the indomitable will to protect that runs through the bloodline of the Kaslana Family!

In Siegfried's eyes, the Ice Seal barrier crumbled instantly. He seemed to see his wife Cecilia, and the spirit of sacrifice passed down through generations of the Kaslana Family.

He suddenly pulled the girl behind him, and the power within him erupted in an unprecedented way, annihilating all the enemies.

After the battle, he was covered in blood, but he walked step by step to the still-shaken girl and slowly squatted down.

He no longer looked at her with that cold and distant gaze.

His eyes were filled with an unprecedented tenderness and apology.

He reached out his large, scarred hand and gently stroked the girl's head.

He finally understood that while the form of life may be replicated, the will and love of the soul are unique.

[In this courageous act, he completely accepted her, regarding her as an extension of his own life.]

He decided to give the name he thought he had lost forever to the daughter before him, who also needed protection.

On the Light Screen, Siegfried's lips moved slightly without making a sound, but everyone understood the shape of his mouth.

He looked at the girl and, word by word, solemnly returned the name to her.

The image on the Light Screen finally froze.

Siegfried's gentle yet sorrowful smile, combined with the girl's tear-streaked, hopeful face radiating from the recognition she had received, created a powerfully impactful image.

In the very center of the image, two huge and heavy characters slowly emerge, imprinting themselves deep in everyone's soul.

The Light Screen lit up again, but the cold, mechanical voice did not sound; instead, there was only deathly silence.

In the scene, a blond priest appears. He has a handsome face, a faint smile on his lips, and emerald eyes that are like a bottomless, icy pool.

[First Honkai Period]

Those few simple words made everyone's hearts leap into their throats.

"The first... Honkai?" Huo Yuhao murmured to himself, his Divine Power highly concentrated, not daring to miss a single detail.

The scene shifts, and a striking red-haired woman in a white, tight-fitting combat suit appears before everyone. She holds a massive cross, her eyes are resolute, and she exudes a powerful aura that sends chills down your spine.

[Leanna Brigantia, the Strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal]

"Such a powerful aura!" Niu Tian said in a deep voice. He could feel that this woman possessed explosive power, which was in no way inferior to that of a top-tier Titled Douluo.

Tai Tan chimed in gruffly, "A pure warrior."

However, the next second, Otto's gentle yet emotionless voice rang out.

"Leanna, go."

"Get rid of that 'Finnish'."

Leanna's body trembled slightly, a hint of struggle and pain flashing in her resolute eyes, but that emotion vanished in an instant, replaced by an empty numbness.

She turned and walked toward a heavily guarded Laboratory.

In the Laboratory, a bespectacled, seemingly refined scientist was anxiously operating something.

"Finnish..." Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye to its fullest extent, keenly catching the fleeting pain in Leanna's eyes.

This isn't right.

A soldier should not react this way when receiving orders.

"She... seems to be resisting?" Xiao Xiao said softly, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

In the scene, Leanna showed no hesitation; the enormous cross seemed weightless in her hands.

The scientist looked up in alarm, as if he wanted to say something.

But it was all too late.

Blood splattered.

The scene froze at that moment; the bright red liquid stained the white wall and stung the eyes of all viewers.

"This... this is murder!" Xue Ye exclaimed in shock, his face turning deathly pale instantly.

"Why kill your own people? That scientist doesn't seem like a bad guy!" He Caitou frowned. As a Soul Engineer, he had a natural affinity for researchers.

Ji Dong's eyes were icy. "That man named Otto used commands. And that Valkyrie couldn't disobey commands."

Lie Yan gently grasped his hand and sighed, "Her soul seems to be Binding by Shackles."

Sure enough, a large amount of cold data and design drawings appeared on the Light Screen.

[Project: Second Generation Godslayer Armor - Moonlight Throne]

[Base body: Leanna Brigantia]

[Modification Plan: By implanting a biochip into the cerebral cortex and reconstructing neural connections, absolute control over the subject's behavior can be achieved... The subject will become the most loyal and powerful weapon.]

Lines of text, like sharp knives, pierced everyone's hearts.

"Weapons..." Tang Wulin's fist clenched instantly, his knuckles turning white from the force. He recalled his days in the Blood God Legion, but even the most brutal training had never taken away a soldier's will!
