The Light Screen Confirms K423 Is Neither a Counterpart nor a Replacement: She Is a Miracle Unique to This World

Someone taught her how to bandage the wounded after the battle.

Someone told her that food should be given to those who are weak.

Someone secretly slipped her a dessert after she failed her training.

Instead of praising her efficiency after she killed her first Collapse Beast, someone hugged her.

It's okay to be scared.

You didn't become a hero because you weren't afraid.

"It's because of fear, yet I'm still willing to protect others."

A series of sounds intertwined within the Light Screen.

They are weak, scattered, and unable to resist the massive machine of fate.

But it is precisely these seemingly insignificant moments that pieced together K-423's original personality.

[The third coincidence: the false Remembrance did not completely erase her.]

[The fourth chance encounter: Aside from countless orders, she encountered genuine kindness.]

[The fifth chance encounter: She began to understand the meaning of "protection" on her own.]

Huo Yuhao stared at those lines of text, then suddenly said:

She wasn't created by any one person.

"Instead, it was propelled down a different path by countless tiny choices."

Tian Hen nodded.

"No one paved this road beforehand. Every step could lead to destruction."

"But she came out," Hai Long said in a deep voice.

The Dragon Prince gazed at the gradually brightening point of light, his expression complex.

"Without Gods designation, without bloodline guarantee, without predetermined destiny, he rose to the position of Savior solely through a series of choices..."

The Dragon God slowly opened his eyes.

"Savior like this are the rarest of all."

The K-423 in the Light Screen has grown up.

She was still called Kiana, still assigned missions, and still forced to bear an identity that wasn't hers.

But each time a command clashed with her inner conviction, she became more resolute than the last.

The first time, she simply refused to harm the innocent.

The second time, in order to save people, she deliberately disobeyed the retreat order.

The third time, knowing she might die, she still turned and rushed towards the area with the most dense Honkai.

No one ordered her to do that.

No one told her what she would gain by doing so.

She simply saw someone crying and chose to reach out.

She simply saw someone fall, so she chose to stay.

In the image, a young girl stands alone in the center of a devastated city.

His armor shattered, and blood streamed down his forehead.

Warnings kept coming through the communicator.

Kiana, evacuate immediately!

"Repeat, evacuate immediately!"

She did not answer.

Ahead was a refuge pod that was slowly closing amidst Honkai Energy.

Behind the hatch, civilians crowded together.

There were no reinforcements behind her.

K-423 looked up and saw the burning Cloud Layer in the night sky.

In that instant, she seemed to return to the moment when she first opened her eyes.

Someone told her to go see the real sky.

The girl clenched her fists and took a step forward.

I don't fight because anyone orders me to.

Her voice echoed through the ruins.

"It's not because I'm Kiana that I have to save others."

Golden light rose from her body, illuminating half the city.

"I choose to protect them."

"Because this is what I want to do."

Boom...!

An endless stream of power erupted from her.

That originally faint point of light instantly pierced through the web of fate.

Three predetermined roads trembled simultaneously, but the road to K-423 had no end.

It extends through countless coincidences, passing through destruction, tragedy, and despair, ultimately pointing to a future yet to be observed by anyone.

[K-423 Identity Confirmed.]

[Counterpart.]

[Non-alternatives.]

[Not the predetermined Savior.]

She is a unique miracle in the world today.

[Future Savior Candidate Qualification: Confirmed.]

[World Finality Response Authorization: Gradually Opening Up.]

Huo Yuhao's breath hitched.

"The future Savior..."

Tang Wulin's fist slowly clenched.

"She really will be the one to save the world."

"Not a candidate." Tang San stared at the Light Screen. "From the moment she made those choices, she was already becoming Savior."

Gu Yuena turned her head to the side.

Do you believe that Savior's qualifications do not lie in whether they ultimately succeed?

"Of course not," Tang San said. "Power can only qualify a person to stand on the battlefield; choices determine whether they are worthy of being entrusted with the future."

Zhou Weiqing grinned.

I like this answer.

Lei Xiang looked at the blood-soaked figure on the Light Screen, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"No one dictated that she had to become a hero, but she chose the most difficult path."

"This is better than being chosen by fate," A'Dai whispered. "Being chosen may just be a responsibility; making an active choice is true conviction."

Rong Nianbing glanced at the spot where the silent afterimage of Otto had disappeared.

Ironically, Otto created her, but couldn't decide who she would ultimately become.

Ning Rongrong nodded gently.

He wanted to create the most powerful weapon, but unexpectedly left behind a person with their own will.

"That's why she's the miracle," Ning Tian said. "Not because she's perfect, but because she could have been molded into anything, but in the end, she chose to be herself."

Dai Hao stared at the Light Screen, his expression solemn.

"If she had been born into the military, she would surely have been one of the most dangerous soldiers."

Xue Ye shook his head.

"No, she's not just a warrior."

She will become someone others will want to follow.

Niu Tian and Tai Tan exchanged a glance.

Tai Tan said in a deep voice:

"A true strong person is not someone who is never defeated, but someone who, knowing they might fail, is still willing to stand in front of others."

Just then, the last line of text appeared at the top of the Light Screen.

Please remember her name.

[Not K-423.]

[Not a replacement for any particular hero.]

[Not an echo from a certain World Lines.]

She is Kiana.

[Also the only Savior, unique to this world.]

Within the Light Screen, the girl slowly raised her head.

She gazed at the sky that had once seemed so far away, her face devoid of any human presence.

There were no orders from Otto, no expectations from Old Days heroes, and no Shackles of predetermined fate.

She was all alone.

Then, she smiled.

"This time, it's my turn to decide the future."

At the edge of darkness, the open eye did not continue to approach.

It simply watched Kiana silently.

The next moment, the scene abruptly changed.

On the roaring battlefield, the crimson sky was cleaved by countless cracks, and Honkai Energy surged like a tidal wave. Huge floating structure ruins hung between the Cloud Layer, and broken orbits stretched into the distance, like a star path that had been forcibly severed.

At the end of that star path, Otto stood on a high platform.

He was still wearing that pristine white suit, his long golden hair billowing in the wind, and the smile on his face was so composed it was repulsive.

Behind him was a Golden Core that was slowly rotating.

Countless images float around the core.

There were babies in the experimental chambers, numbered files, repeated failed experiments, and a pair of blue eyes that opened in the Cultivation Pod.
