The Communicator Ordered the Girl to Eliminate the Civilians in the Ruins: She Raised Her Spear Toward the Sky and Said, "Carrying Out My Own Judgment"

He's waiting for you to come home.

The girl stared at him blankly.

At that moment, a sense of dependence and a trust that shouldn't belong to a stranger surfaced in her eyes.

Because in the Remembrance written into her mind, this person is credible.

He is a guide.

He was the one who gave her that identity.

It was also her destiny, which she could not defy.

[K-423 opens his eyes for the first time.]

The world she saw was the world Otto allowed her to see.

[The self she believed in was the self Otto wanted her to believe.]

All the paths she walked led to the same destination.

"I see..."

Ning Tian said softly.

"The reason she was able to be reborn after Otto left was because the person who had written her destiny had disappeared."

"But what he left behind won't disappear immediately." Ning Rongrong frowned. "More than ten years of Remembrance, orders, and identity have become a part of her. Even if Otto isn't here, can she really get rid of them?"

Dai Hao slowly shook his head.

"For taxi drivers on the battlefield, the hardest thing to get rid of is never the enemy, but orders."

The Xue Ye stared at the Light Screen with a solemn expression.

"If a person is told from childhood who to hate, who to be loyal to, and what to fight for, then when they finally gain their freedom, they may not know what they are capable of doing."

"She'll get lost," Xiao Xiao whispered.

"But being lost is better than continuing to be led astray," Tang Wulin replied.

Gu Yuena glanced at him sideways.

Do you think freedom means getting rid of all Binding?

"At the very least, the choice should be returned to her."

Tang Wulin gazed at the girl in the Light Screen, his eyes resolute.

"She can choose to continue fighting, or she can choose to leave. She can forgive, or she can hate. But this decision cannot be made for her by anyone else."

The scene changes again.

In the desolate ruins of the city, a white-haired girl stands alone on a broken overpass.

The wind blew in from afar, carrying with it the smell of dust and burning.

She held a Long Spear in her hand, and her armor was covered in marks of battle.

A cold, commanding voice came through the communicator.

"Kiana, target confirmed. Eliminate immediately."

The girl looked up at the civilians hiding behind the ruins in the distance.

There were elderly people, crying children, and a mother desperately shielding them behind her.

The voice from the communicator sounded again.

Don't hesitate.

"This is a necessary sacrifice."

The girl gripped the Long Spear tightly.

They are not the enemy.

"They could become enemies."

"So we have to kill them first?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator.

Subsequently, the orders became even more stringent.

"Kiana Kaslana, this is an order."

The girl's pupils contracted slightly.

After a few breaths, she raised her Long Spear.

But the gun wasn't pointed at the people in the ruins.

Instead, it pointed to the sky.

Boom...!

A beam of light shot into the sky, instantly severing the falling steel beam in the distance.

The steel beam crashed onto the open ground, kicking up clouds of dust, but no one was injured.

A furious roar came from the communicator:

"What are you doing?!"

The girl held the Long Spear horizontally in front of her.

"I will act according to my own judgment."

You are not qualified...

"Then I'll start owning it now."

She lifted her face, her white hair disheveled by the wind.

"I am not a tool you created."

"I am not a substitute for anyone."

"And I am not someone who is allowed to live only to fulfill someone else's wishes."

Within the Light Screen, the girl's voice was not loud.

But like a newly drawn sword, it severed the invisible chain that had spanned more than a decade.

Zhou Weiqing slowly exhaled.

"That's more like it."

Rong Nianbing nodded gently.

She finally uttered her first words.

"Her first words?" Lei Xiang asked. "She's said a lot before, hasn't she?"

"Those words may not belong to her." Rong Nianbing looked at the Light Screen. "The true self is not about being able to speak, but about knowing why you speak."

Ye Yinzhu closed her eyes, as if trying to feel the emotions in the scene.

"There are two voices in her soul."

One voice told her that obedience would bring approval; another voice told her she shouldn't continue living like this.

Zi whispered:

"The former comes from the past, the latter from herself."

A'Dai, also known as Mandun, quietly watched the figure.

"Being able to break free from the life that others have arranged for her is a battle in itself."

Hai Long said in a deep voice:

"And in this war, there is no enemy for her to wield her sword."

Tian Hen continued:

What she had to fight against was everything she had once believed in.

The city in the Light Screen gradually faded into the distance.

The girl did not accept the new orders.

She put away her weapon, walked through the ruins, and came to the group of rescued civilians.

The child looked at her timidly.

"Sister, are you here to save us?"

The girl was stunned.

She looked down at her hands.

These hands have held weapons, carried out orders, and been stained with blood in countless battles.

She didn't know how to answer.

"I..."

The child asked again:

"May I have your name?"

The moment the petals fell to the ground, a soft sound suddenly came from the darkness.

bite...

It was as if a long-dormant stargate had been activated again.

Ripples appeared in the Void beneath their feet. The previously extinguished Light Screen did not immediately display an image; instead, a line of scarlet words emerged in the darkness.

[warn.]

[Please do not classify K-423 as any established Counterpart.]

Tang San's gaze sharpened slightly.

"Counterpart?"

Huo Yuhao's Divine Power spread out instantly, attempting to probe the truth behind the Light Screen, but he was bounced back when he touched that invisible barrier.

His expression changed for the first time.

This is not an ordinary video.

"There's some incredibly powerful causal force within," Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice. "It's preventing us from defining that girl using our existing knowledge."

Gu Yuena narrowed her silver eyes slightly.

"The fact that she cannot be defined means that her birth was not part of any predetermined plan."

The next moment, the Light Screen lit up completely.

There were no Laboratory, and no battlefields.

The image shows a vast observation area surrounded by the starry sky.

Countless points of light floated in the Void, connected by fine golden threads, like a web of destiny covering Myriad Worlds.

Three of the points of light were particularly dazzling.

In the first spot of light, a white-haired man stands alone on the shattered earth, holding Giant Sword.

Behind him lies a civilization long since destroyed.

[Previous Civilization Kevin.]

Within the second point of light, a white-haired girl was bathed in the light of the Finality, surrounded by Authority enough to make the stars tremble.

[Kiana Finality another World Lines.]

Within the third point of light, a blonde girl clad in Valkyrie Armor stood with a resolute expression and a calmness in her eyes that belied that of an ordinary warrior.

[Kiana Kaslana of this Era.]

Each of the three points of light extends into a straight path.
