Truthful Kiana: Reality Is Just a Boring Dream
"It all started with a man named Dio trying to seize his adoptive father's property—"
"What the hell are these? They're nothing like HOMU's cuteness."
"Why don't we take another look? It'll get exciting and interesting soon."
"It's quite interesting—"
"Your first kiss wasn't with Jojo, it was with me, Dio!"
"Human abilities have limits. The more one tries to outsmart others, the more one will discover these limits... unless one becomes a being that transcends humanity..."
Mo Yi watched as the white-haired girl, who had initially looked disgusted, now danced along with the lines while watching, and couldn't help but think to himself, "She says no, but her body is still very honest."
"Cough cough—"
Before they knew it, they had been watching for seven or eight hours. Mo Yi said to the white-haired girl, who looked excited and showed no signs of fatigue, "Your Queen, why don't you rest first and watch again tomorrow?"
"Hmph, don't think I don't know anything. This thing is called a television—"
The girl, who was seeing something so interesting for the first time, was not going to listen to Mo Yi and said with great disdain, "Anyway, you're useless now, just find a room to rest in."
Mo Yi: "..."
"Is it time again?"
As usual, Kiana opened her eyes and once again saw the steel ceiling reflecting the incandescent silver light, and everything that disgusted her—no, to be more precise, was boring.
Kiana sat up and turned to look at the white-haired girl standing beside her, who was wearing the third-generation Schicksal All-Area Combat Armor, commonly known as the Domain Suit: White Comet.
In Honkai Impact 3rd, although White Comet is Kiana's initial skin and is known as a character whose training White Comet, in reality, the 'White Comet' armor is not an expensive piece of equipment that just anyone can wear. Only Valkyrie of rank B or higher are qualified to possess it.
The white-haired girl, resembling a doll, had short, snow-white hair, deep blue eyes, and a face just like Kiana's. However, there was no emotion in her pupils, only emptiness. What Kiana hated most about her was that doll-like face, which was as white and flawless as Kiana's.
"Stop, your next sentence is—"
Kiana interrupted the short-haired Kiana before she could speak, saying in an icy tone, "Big sister, the bishop is waiting for me," K801 said.
The short-haired Kiana beside her clearly hadn't expected that her usually silent older sister, who had spoken no more than ten sentences to her since Kiana's birth, and whose words were mostly just "um," "oh," and "okay," would suddenly utter such a long sentence.
"My dear sister, you seem a little different today—"
Kiana with short hair tilted her head, looked at Kiana, and said in a flat, emotionless voice, "According to the database analysis, is Big Sister happy?"
"Shut up!"
Kiana seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and coldly interrupted the other person, saying, "Don't try to guess my thoughts with your boring binary code!"
"But--"
The short-haired Kiana didn't show any change in expression despite Kiana's cold tone, and continued in her emotionless voice, "You've said so many words again."
"Is this what they call tsundere?" Kiana K801 said.
Kiana: "..."
Well, I'm just the older sister they talk about. The person they truly obey is always that man named Otto.
Kiana couldn't help but recall the days of the past, those years when only darkness and cold accompanied her.
She was once Otto's experimental subject and a hostage used to threaten Siegfried and Auntie. She was always kept in the laboratory. When there was something to do, she was taken to do experiments. When there was nothing to do, she was kept under control. Even her eyes were covered with blindfolds, and she could only survive in the dark.
Kiana, who was rebuked by her own clone, would have simply told the other person to shut up if she were the old Kiana, who had a very limited vocabulary. But after listening to the story told by the unknown man in the dream world, she learned a lot of new words and now uses them subconsciously.
"You mere counterfeit, do you dare defy me, who possesses the Power of Bael?!"
PS: Chapter 283, Princess Arc 83: The Princess quickly denied it. "I'm not Megatron's friend!" Alice also said at the same time, "That's right, we're definitely not friends, and even if we were, it would be a tragic fate!" In Alice's future memories, her relationship with Houraisan Kaguya had always been bad. Even after they both became wings, Kaguya was always trying to bully and slander her, calling herself the "official wife" in front of her. If it weren't for Mo Yi, they would have already had a showdown at the top of Gensokyo. Hearing their unanimous answers, Mo Yi was now certain that the two of them did know each other, and that they had some kind of relationship he didn't know about. Using the Princess's relationship with Fujiwara no Mokou as a reference, Mo Yi naturally understood. "Everyone's here—" At this moment, the last combatant Yuuka Kazami, also appeared. Suddenly, the wall next to Mo Yi and the others exploded, and a Reimu Hakurei carrying a blonde loli walked out. When she saw the Princess on Mo Yi's back, she frowned, but quickly let go and laughed, "Isn't this the Moon Princess Houraisan Kaguya of Eientei?" The Princess: "..." How come another troublesome guy has appeared?! Thinking of this, the Princess pinched Mo Yi's waist hard.
Chapter 383: True Kiana: Reality is nothing but a boring dream
"What is the Power of Bael?"
Clearly, Kiana K801 didn't understand the Kiana reference and continued to indulge her curiosity, asking casually, "Is it that powerful? K801 is very curious—"
Kiana: "..."
Forget it, arguing with these guys is just a waste of my energy.
Kiana had asked Mo Yi this question before, and he replied that the Power of Bael wasn't about how powerful it was, but rather that it was very special and had an effect that was impossible to resist.
Let's hurry up and solve this problem. I should go back to the dream world and watch TV. That guy said there are five parts to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and she's only finished watching the second part.
Moreover, talking to the other person is much more meaningful than staying in this cold and boring reality.
Kiana Kaslana has been living the life of a guinea pig ever since she was captured by Schicksal. In such an absolutely dark and inhuman life, even an ordinary person would have long since been unable to endure it and would have suffered a mental breakdown.
For example, the solitary confinement punishment, which involves no physical abuse but simply confinement in a dark and cramped space, is enough to drive countless people who have undergone rigorous training to the brink of mental Honkai.
When Kiana was imprisoned, she was blindfolded and locked in a dungeon. She only had the opportunity to observe this world, which was only cruel to her, when experiments were conducted on her.
Even though she had never experienced the wonders of the world, so she wouldn't feel too much of a sense of loss. However, many human nature traits remain unchanged, such as the pursuit of freedom. Driven by this endless yearning, she awakened the ability to manipulate dreams.
In her mind, the world of dreams is reality, while the world she is awake in is just a fleeting dream.
After an unknown amount of time, Otto, having likely completed his research on her, finally released her. In return, she was to cooperate with his experiments and obey his orders.
The more Otto studied Kiana, the more secrets he discovered. When he had almost finished his research and could no longer make any further progress, Otto decided to make the most of her and released her to train her into a powerful Valkyrie.
When Siegfried finally comes knocking on his door and discovers that the person blocking his way is none other than the daughter he abandoned, his expression will surely be quite amusing.
As for whether Kiana will betray him, Otto is not worried at all. With Schicksal's many years of brainwashing experience, how could he not handle a little girl who was raised in Schicksal's laboratory since childhood?
To deal with orphans like Kiana, Lord Green Otto that Schicksal is the most righteous and greatest organization, and that they are fighting for a great cause. Coupled with militarized management, they constantly repeat the idea that fighting for Schicksal is fighting for a better world. Let alone a year, even three months is enough to educate most people into new-era Schicksal Valkyrie.
As for Kiana, as a key experimental subject of Lord Green Otto, she must have received the best Valkyrie education. Lord Green Otto even often personally met with Kiana, talked to her about life and ideals, and rigorously carried out her ideological education.
Furthermore, through his arrangement, Kiana 'accidentally' learns that the reason she was imprisoned is because her parents, Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia, betrayed Schicksal. Moreover, her father, Siegfried, had once entered Schicksal Headquarters, but ultimately chose to steal an important cloning experiment based on her, rather than his own daughter.
Under Lord Green Otto's scheme, Kiana naturally went astray, but not in the way that she turned evil and wanted to destroy everything. Instead, she became indifferent to reality and locked her heart in her dreams.
Even now, Lord Green Otto is unaware that Kiana possesses the ability to manipulate dreams; he simply believes that she has become a cold machine in such an environment.
After all, all Lord Green Otto needed was for the other party to obey him. What did it matter to him, Schicksal Bishop who lived a life of luxury but was not happy at all?
