After speaking, Beichen continued the storyline.

[Theresa, so she cares so much about Dad's affairs.]

Just as Kiana was sighing, realizing that her aunt and her father weren't completely at odds with each other.

Combat communications suddenly connected to a third party...

[Theresa, I didn't expect you to care so much about my family's affairs~]

The voice was soft and pleasant, conjuring the image of a gentle and kind woman in the mind just by listening...

Theresa reacted almost the moment she heard the voice.

[This voice! It's Cecilia! Have you reached Siberia yet?]

"Cecilia/Lord Cecilia!"

As Cecilia's voice appeared, the two people in the livestream exclaimed almost simultaneously.

One bullet comment was from Seele, and the other was from Durandal.

"I didn't expect Kiana's mother to connect the communication at this time... I wonder what kind of person she is? This voice... she must be a very gentle mother, right? Hehe..."

"Is this the aura of Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie from before? Why do I suddenly feel a lot more at ease?"

Both showed great interest in Cecilia.

Of course, it could also be said that both longed to feel something they had never experienced from this Valkyrie...

Beichen then continued to click on the screen.

[Lord Cecilia! Th-this is Mom's voice?]

[Yes, luckily I arrived in time and saved my family's.]

[Siegfried, is he alive!?]

Upon hearing Cecilia's words, Theresa finally reacted.

[He's not out of danger yet, after all, half of his body is burned. I'll do my best to heal him. You guys go to the "Tower" first. I'll rush over immediately after I heal him.]

After stating her plan, Cecilia urged Theresa to act for the time being.

However, when Theresa heard that she planned to heal Siegfried, she immediately became concerned:

[Healing the wounds caused by Judgement of Shamash? Could it be that you used Abyss Flower? But, your body!]

[You worry too much, Theresa~ It's okay, it's okay.]

After Cecilia's communication ended, the dialogue box began to display Kiana's inner excitement.

She was both happy and nervous because she was about to see her mother.

This emotion, as her tone changed, gradually spread and eventually reached the livestream.

"Mom... that's nice. I wish I could see my mom too, but unfortunately... like Kiana, I've never met her..."

[Because of your livestream content, Loves Bronya feels joy, you have obtained 560 Crystals!]

"I, I think my mom must also be... someone as gentle as Cecilia? Hmm... sorry, I got a bit distracted..."

[Because of your livestream content, Effort Pays Off feels shy, you have obtained 840 Crystals!]

Seele and Durandal, these two unfortunate children, were actually empathizing due to Kiana's emotions in the livestream...

"Mother? Hmm... a very distant term."

Not long after their bullet comments floated by, a green bullet comment also drifted past.

The owner of this comment was Otto, who usually didn't get involved in such gossip.

However, his reaction was not significant.

He merely sighed at the term "mother" without showing much emotion.

After all the bullet comments had scrolled across the screen, Beichen continued to play the story.

[Alas, what a failure! In the end, I still couldn't stop Cecilia from coming to the battlefield!]

[Theresa, why have you been trying to stop Cecilia from coming to the battlefield?]

[Cecilia, although she is the strongest Valkyrie, she has been recuperating after giving birth to her daughter. If she participates in the battle...]

[Right, the voice in my dream said Mom would die in the Second Honkai War. No! I absolutely cannot let Mom die here! Even if this is just a virtual data space, I can't!]

"The voice in my dream... huh? Is it that dream before the main story? Speaking of which, why does the voice in my dream sound so similar to the Second Herrscher's voice?"

Just as Kiana secretly made up her mind, a blue bullet comment floated by.

Seele had unintentionally pointed out a hidden key point that Beichen already knew but had kept silent about!

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Is This What They Call a Daughter Resembling Her Mother?

"They are indeed very similar, one might even say..."

Not long after Seele's barrage of comments floated by, Durandal began to chime in as well.

However, just as she was about to reveal her own findings, a green barrage of comments drifted across the screen.

"...But so what?"

The person who sent this barrage was Otto, and as the instigator, he naturally understood the reason why Sirin's voice had appeared in the previous plot...

"Huh? Aren't you guys surprised? The Second Herrscher! And she was that cool-looking blue person from before!"

"Pfft!"

Beichen had originally intended to quietly watch the audience guess wildly through the comments.

But when he saw Seele's comment about the "blue person," he couldn't hold back his laughter anymore!

Hahaha, this might be the worst insult Sirin has ever suffered...

To think that the dignified Herrscher of the previous era, a model worker among Herrschers, would be called a blue person...

"Ahem! Let me clarify, she's not some 'blue person.' It's just that her data within the data space has been encrypted by someone."

To defend the Herrscher's dignity, Beichen, for once, interjected.

The very next second, Seele's question came...

"Huh? Why do you know, big brother?"

"Do you remember what Theresa said when she entered this data space before?"

"Oh! I remember now, she did mention being encrypted. So that's why the Second Herrscher was a blue person?"

Seele finally understood the reason, but at the same time, a question arose in her heart.

"Then who encrypted her? And what did the encrypted Second Herrscher look like?"

"Don't be impatient, keep watching and you'll find out."

Beichen didn't answer further, choosing to tease Seele and keep her in suspense.

"Keep watching, okay! But... I still hope Kiana and her family will be alright."

What? Alright?

Impossible. If you're following Mihoyo's script, do you expect things to end well? The greatest mercy from Da Wei would be if they didn't all get wiped out in the end.

Don't be fooled by the current scene of a happy family reunion; it's all just setting up the next blow...

Because he had seen the script, Beichen knew very well what would happen next.

So he became even more curious about what would happen when Cecilia sacrificed herself, Kiana realized everything was fake, and Fu Hua betrayed them and rescued the person...

Would Seele cry again from the emotional damage... Wait, why did I say "again"?

"Ahem, let's continue watching. This chapter is almost over."

Beichen then continued with the plot. Not long after Rita advanced on the snowy roads of Siberia, she encountered an aerial attack by Titans again.

After taking down the Titans with a few shots, a white Hunting Viper II dropped from the sky.

However, this elite-class long-range Titan mecha was instantly killed by Rita's ultimate skill and charged attack before it could even stand up.

With the minor obstacles cleared, the path to the 'Tower' finally opened.

But before Rita could proceed further, combat communications popped up again.

The sender of the message was Cecilia, who had just communicated with Theresa.

[Theresa, I have good news. My husband is out of danger.]

[As expected of Mom, no, Cecilia-sama. She can even heal burns from Judgement of Shamash.]

In Kiana's eyes, it was wonderful that her gentle and steady mother had healed her father.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Theresa retorted:

[It's not good news at all! The burns caused by Judgement of Shamash can only be healed by Abyss Flower, which is also a Holy Relic. But using Abyss Flower will significantly deplete your life force and stamina.]

[Theresa, you worry too much. Look at me, I'm full of energy right now~]

[Don't joke around! After healing Siegfried's injuries, your stamina is less than half of what it was. If you fight the Second Herrscher at this time...]

"Wow, Principal Theresa... really cares about Cecilia!"

Theresa's undisguised concern made Seele couldn't help but comment gossiping.

"It feels like she's like Cecilia's second daughter!"

"Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like that..."

Beichen felt that if the four Kaslana bloodline members – Theresa, Siegfried, Kiana, and Durandal – were gathered around his mother-in-law for a photo, It would probably turn out to be a heartwarming family photo of five.

It's a shame that this photo would never exist.

After all...

[If I can't defeat her alone, I'll have to trouble Theresa to fight with me!]

"Give up the operation! Cecilia, your health hasn't been good this past year. I... I don't want to lose you."

In the end, Theresa couldn't suppress her emotions and said something incredible...

"...Theresa, sigh..." A green comment, expressing emotions too complex for words.

"That's impossible. A Valkyrie's destiny is to fight Honkai until the very end. Only by doing this... can we save more people."

Not long after Otto's comment floated by, Durandal once again spoke of the Valkyrie's destiny.

Ragna's sacrifice forged her conviction, and the blood of Kaslana and Schariac allowed her to uphold that conviction.

And this was precisely Cecilia's own will.

"That's impossible, Theresa. If we back down here, more people will lose their lives because of the Second Herrscher."

"Protecting humanity is our glorious mission as Valkyries. Alright, I'm heading to the 'Tower' now. Let's meet in front of the 'Tower'."

After saying this, Cecilia cut off communication.

The path to the "Tower" was open at this moment, welcoming anyone who wished to go there.

"Big Brother, why do I have a bad feeling? Will Cecilia encounter danger outside the Tower?"

After seeing Cecilia's conviction, Seele also seemed to start caring about this outstanding and gentle woman.

However, her question...

It made Beichen want to laugh and cry.

"Don't worry, there's no way I'd hurt your mother-in-law in this chapter. If I'm going to hurt someone, it'll be in the next chapter."

"Next, we're going to the 'Tower,' where she'll actually have a chance to show off her skills."

Of course, Beichen wouldn't say this directly.

"She probably won't. You're overthinking it. Keep reading."
