Thanks to this efficient and fast way of clearing stages, Ri Duck soon arrived at an iron bridge built on a snowfield.

At the same time, Kiana's self-narration dialogue box popped up again.

[Hey, I haven't seen this much snow in a long time. Before Dad went missing, we also lived in a village that was covered in snow every winter.]

[Every time it snowed, I could have snowball fights with Dad. Once, a snowball he threw with all his might shattered a large rock that was two meters tall!]

[Wait, if I hadn't dodged back then, wouldn't that have been dangerous? What was that idiot dad thinking?!]

"Snowball fights? That sounds like a really fun game. I used to play with the other kids at the orphanage. But... shattering a two-meter-tall rock? That sounds a bit dangerous..."

Seeing the topic of play, Seele sent a comment expressing her thoughts. As her comment floated by, another one followed.

"It seems... Kiana really misses her father. Hehe, I do too."

The person sending the comment... was Durandal.

Watching her slowly drifting comment, Beichen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that even though her memories of Siegfried were lost, she still... yearned for the love of her family.

He wondered if she would recall her real name after seeing Siegfried and Cecilia appear one after another in the game's main story.

This was quite a dilemma, but then again...

Never mind, he'd deal with it when the time came.

Beichen then tapped the screen, starting to play Kiana's subsequent dialogue.

[Then, one day four years ago, my idiot dad suddenly disappeared. To find him, I searched from Europe to Asia, but there wasn't a single clue. Dad, what stupid thing are you up to now? Honestly, I miss him a little...]

After the self-narration plot dialogue ended, the game returned to the real-time interface.

Ri Duck continued forward, starting to cross the bridge. Just as she was halfway across, a frost-type Honkai Beast she had never seen before suddenly emerged from the ground!

Of course.

As soon as this thing appeared, Ri Duck killed it with a few charged attacks~

After successfully dealing with the monster, Kiana's avatar popped up again. After cheering herself on, she prepared to move forward.

However, as soon as she crossed the bridge, she accidentally received a communication signal...

[Huh? The communicator has a signal!]

[Target interception failed. I was injured during the battle with the target and temporarily lost mobility. After the battle, the target proceeded towards Babylon Laboratory. Please send other Valkyrie units to the target location.]

Kiana listened carefully and vaguely recognized the identity of the communicator...

[This voice, it sounds like Theresa! The communication source is nearby, I have to hurry and check it out.]

Author's Note

I'll also explain the matter of a previous chapter being deleted and re-uploaded.

Please don't be surprised if you see it.

It's just that the cowardly author secretly modified it...

Also, the frequency of modifications might not decrease even after going premium, so I hope everyone can be more understanding.

Chapter 60: Early Footage of Theresa vs. Herrscher of Reason Leaked (Not!)

"Oh? Theresa? Hmm... it seems to be just an illusion created by data."

A green comment slowly floated by.

As the Grand Bishop, Otto was well aware of Schicksal's database functions. He instantly revealed that this was an illusion composed of data...

He was actually explaining this in such a situation?

Beichen shifted his gaze to Durandal in the audience list.

Hmm... so he mentioned this specifically to mislead Kiana?

Of course, whether Durandal was misled was unclear, but... someone in the livestream was definitely misled.

"Data... an illusion created by data? Hey, why is this Great Inventor so sure?"

A blue comment floated by, following Otto's green comment.

Although Seele meant no harm, the timing of her words was too coincidental, creating a sense of relentless pressure.

Faced with her question, Otto, who had been pretending earlier, remained silent for a long time...

Seeing Otto rendered speechless, Beichen found it both amusing and exasperating.

Ha! Interesting, the Grand Bishop of Schicksal is silenced by a little sister from Anti-Entropy? It seems this old man who has lived for hundreds of years really can't handle children~

"Heh, this viewer. Have you forgotten? The end of the CG just now mentioned the data space. Isn't it common sense to deduce the conclusion from that?"

Finally, after a moment of silence, Otto found a suitable response.

Although his words seemed to be an answer, they revealed nothing. He completely passed the buck to the previous conversation, not forgetting to retort and throw the question back.

However, this completely correct but meaningless statement managed to stun Seele...

"Huh? Oh, um... so that's how it is... (⊙o⊙)..."

As Seele's blue comment floated by, Otto's crisis was resolved.

Seeing this scene, Beichen, as an observer, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He thought it would be a scenario of a teenager from Anti-Entropy ambushing an old bishop over five hundred years old. But as it turned out, the old ginger was spicier...

Sigh, boring, let's continue the story.

At this moment, the game was in its actual combat interface, and the gorgeously dressed Ri Duck had been waiting in the Siberian snow for a long time.

Finally, she was able to advance, speeding towards the path ahead along the yellow path illuminated on the ground...

The white snow was dotted with some blue glowing grass, and on both sides of the road were snow-covered cedars and rocks.

Although the modeling of these landscapes wasn't particularly exquisite, it successfully created the coldness of Siberia...

In such a world of ice and snow, the only ones who could still move freely were probably the Zombies and Honkai Beasts wandering around.

Beichen didn't waste any time, directly controlling Ri Duck to bypass these map monsters and head towards the destination.

As she rushed down a very steep slope... a smaller figure appeared far ahead on the screen...

And at this moment, she was carrying a familiar cross, standing quietly on the snowfield.

At the same time, a line of red subtitles appeared on the screen.

[Is... Theresa? Is that you, Theresa?]

As these subtitles appeared, the entire game screen was gradually replaced by paleness... eventually turning completely white.

As the story CG played, Theresa's voice sounded again.

[Damn it, I was careless. I didn't expect the Second Herrscher to already possess such power.]

In the CG, Theresa was kneeling on the snowfield, with snow-covered pine trees beside her. And in the center of the camera's view, Theresa was emitting a dazzling golden light.

[I must complete the body regeneration quickly...]

As the camera zoomed in, Theresa's face appeared on the screen. She kept one eye closed, reaching out to grab her severed arm. This arm was emitting golden light.

"Huh? Principal Theresa is so badly injured! That's too much... Who would do something so awful?"

Seele's bullet comment floated across the screen.

Seeing this, Beichen thought for a moment, then replied:

"Have you forgotten so quickly? Earlier, she clearly mentioned the title Second Herrscher. So the answer is obvious."

"Second... Herrscher, is it? Okay, I understand."

As Seele's bullet comment floated across the screen, Theresa began to mutter.

[I must... eliminate the Second Herrscher before Bishop Otto deploys her...]

However, before she could finish speaking, an unfamiliar female voice sounded...

[Theresa, why are you injured?!]

[Huh? Who are you?]

The CG camera switched, changing from facing Theresa directly to looking up at Kiana from her perspective.

At this moment, upon hearing Theresa ask who she was, Kiana's face showed confusion and surprise.

[How can you not recognize me after only being apart for a moment?]

She showed no confusion as to why Theresa didn't recognize her, instead squatting down and reaching out to try and touch Theresa.

[I'm your niece, Kiana?]

Unfortunately, her sincerity and enthusiasm did not receive a response.

On the contrary, after hearing her introduce herself, Theresa's lips curved slightly upwards as she said loudly:

[Kiana... Kiana Kaslana? Hmph! Damn Second Herrscher, trying to confuse me with an illusion. Do you really think I'm an idiot?]

Then, the camera suddenly pulled back, showing Theresa floating in mid-air.

[My niece Kiana is only one year old right now.]

"Huh? Kiana is only one year old? What is... why... could this also be a fake image created by the data space?"

As Theresa's voice fell, a blue bullet comment drifted across the screen...

After learning about Kiana from the AI Theresa in the air, Seele was a bit confused about the situation.

Regarding her confusion, the streamer Beichen in the live broadcast room, and the viewer Otto, felt a bit amused.

Of course, they meant no harm. The reason they felt this way was simply because one of them had seen the script, and the other was even the one who concealed the incident back then.

So they both knew how true this information was...

"It's fine... you continue watching."

"Oh, okay!" Seele quickly replied.

After briefly dismissing the little fan with a casual remark, Beichen refocused his attention on the game screen.

At this moment, Theresa had already taken out Judah, summoning golden chains to surround herself, preparing to fight.

As she finished with: [Hmph! Die, you illusion!]

The story CG finally finished playing.

The game then entered the actual gameplay interface. Appearing opposite Ri Duck next was the future principal of St. Freya Academy. Theresa Apocalypse, wielding Judah...

Chapter 61 "Theresa!!!" a certain bishop cried out in anguish.

"Huh!? Is the opponent we have to fight this time Principal Theresa?"

As Theresa appeared, a blue bullet comment drifted across the screen.

Seeing Theresa's figure on the screen, and that she could be attacked, Seele couldn't help but send a bullet comment to guess.

"This is going to be a tough fight, isn't it? Principal Theresa is just so strong!"

As her bullet comment floated by, Beichen almost burst out laughing.

"Ah? Tough? Pfft—! Cough cough cough, let's just wait and see. Does everyone want to see Principal Theresa's fighting style?"

"Interesting. I'm very curious how Theresa fights in this game."

A green bullet comment drifted across the screen. The person who sent it was none other than Bishop Otto, Theresa's loving grandfather.

Fight... how else would one fight? Is she going to shove a cross in the monster's face like you do?

Beichen grumbled inwardly.

Of course, he wouldn't say this out loud; that would be the end of him.

"Okay, okay, then I'll let Theresa-chan perform for everyone first~"

After speaking, Beichen didn't control Ri Duck to attack Theresa. He effortlessly dodged the attacks from the holy spear and the crosses summoned by Theresa.
