Truthful Kiana: It's Not Like I'm Worried You'll Go Hungry!
As for the short-haired Kiana K801, it is naturally another series of achievements of Lord Green Otto. In the process of studying Kiana, trying to find out the secret of the Kaslana bloodline, and researching why Siegfried could unleash his power and defeat the Herrscher of the Void Sirin, Otto discovered that this girl, born from the direct line of Kaslana and Sania, had secrets hidden in her beyond his imagination.
For example, the opponent's clones could withstand the erosion of the Herrscher Core and be used to create Artificial Herrscher; another example is that everyone should only be able to awaken one ability. After an ordinary Awakened is cloned, the awakened abilities are similar or directly the same. However, when Lord Green Otto used Kiana's clone to study awakened abilities, he discovered that the opponent's clones could awaken completely unrelated abilities, as if the opponent's genes contained all the possibilities of humanity.
So, after creating Kiana K423 as the vessel to revive the Herrscher of the Void, he continued to clone her to search for more secrets, eventually creating countless Kiana. The final series is the K-8×× series, and each of these Kiana has a unique awakened ability.
Of course, for ease of control, at the very beginning of the clones' creation, Lord Green Otto planted relevant programs in their minds, making them obedient to him and unable to disobey his orders.
Kiana's clones already possess strong Honkai Energy resistance and the ability to manipulate Honkai Energy. As long as they are instilled with relevant combat skills and knowledge and equipped with relevant weapons, they will have the combat power of B-rank Valkyrie. In addition, with their unique Awakened abilities, they will start with the combat power of A-rank Valkyrie. If the clone has strong awakening abilities, it will directly have the combat power of S-rank Valkyrie.
This force of tens of thousands of Kiana clone Valkyrie, named the Moonlight Goddess Unit by Lord Green Otto, is an important fighting force in the Dark Side of Schicksal, and the source of Green Otto's confidence in facing the increasingly powerful Anti-Entropy and the Cultivator Association over the years.
Lord Green Otto: Aren't you Cultivator supposed to be very powerful? My Kiana Legion is full of people with strong physical abilities, plus the power of Honkai and the power of Awakened. They are also obedient. If one of them dies, I can just press a button and quickly produce new soldiers. After a month of training, they can be ready for battle. I ask you, how do you think you can fight against me Otto?
With tens of thousands of S-rank Valkyrie legions charging in, I ask you, how could Otto possibly lose!
After achieving such significant results in his research on Kiana, Lord Green Otto naturally placed even greater emphasis on Kiana as the prototype, hoping to obtain even greater results from her.
Besides this, there was another thing that Lord Otto was very concerned about: other Kiana could easily awaken their abilities, but Kiana, as the original, had never shown her own awakened abilities, which made Lord Green Otto very concerned.
Even though she was just a clone created from her genes, she was able to awaken powerful awakening abilities. So the original must have even greater potential. Lord Green Otto was very much looking forward to this. You see, Lord Green Otto's current mode of existence is to take over other people's bodies through soul transfer. The body he is currently using is a humanoid weapon made of Soul Steel. He has an Artificial Herrscher Valkyrie body.
If it were Kiana, she might obtain the strongest body ever.
While the Soul Steel body is indeed tough enough, to obtain the true secrets and power of the Honkai, only the physical body can do so, since Herrscher are all transformed from humans.
The fact that humans can awaken all sorts of strange abilities demonstrates their immense potential for growth, something that inanimate objects like Soul Steel cannot match.
In fact, Kiana had already awakened her abilities long ago. Apart from the ability to manipulate dreams that she awakened when she was very young, she would gain the abilities of every clone who awakened a new one.
In addition, she can freely connect with the minds of other clones and obtain the information she wants from their perspective. Otherwise, having been locked in the laboratory for many years, and now that she has been released, she is just in a bigger 'dungeon'. How would she know about 'Homu's Adventure'?
It was naturally acquired through the mind of Kiana's sister (a clone) who was sent to a relatively free place to carry out a mission.
Having been confined to her Schicksal since childhood and without receiving relevant education, she shouldn't know how to 'cunningly' hide her abilities. Yet, despite having no one to teach her, she understands many principles. When faced with important choices, there seems to be a voice in her mind, similar to herself but more mature, guiding her on the most appropriate course of action.
This voice appeared when she first awakened her ability to manipulate dreams, and it was this voice that kept Kiana from mentally Honkai in the initial darkness.
By now, Kiana would have easily escaped the underground base where she had been imprisoned for over a decade, but for her—it was meaningless.
In reality, she couldn't find anything worth cherishing. It wasn't out of resentment, but simply because she found it boring. Unsure whether she could remain in the Dream World after her real self died, she reluctantly cooperated with Otto to keep herself alive like a plant and maintain the existence of the dream.
Only in her dreams could she find the true feeling of being alive.
Reality is nothing but a boring dream.
"What do you want from me?"
Kiana looked at K801 and asked directly.
"There will be an important experiment later, which requires your participation, my elder sister. That is what the bishop has instructed."
"Um--"
This wasn't surprising. Kiana nodded and glanced at the food cart beside the bed, on which steaming hot, nutritious meals were being prepared.
Kiana would naturally not refuse anything necessary to sustain her life, which was one of the main reasons she stayed here.
Kiana suddenly realized that the man who had entered her Dream World also needed to take in the necessary nutrients, otherwise, if he died, who would tell her interesting stories?
Kiana was considering others' feelings for the first time, probably because Kiana had always regarded reality as a boring dream. Since it was a dream, it couldn't be taken seriously. Whether it was Otto, the researchers who looked at her with strange, fearful, and covetous eyes, or the clones who were created by using her genes and were like robots, none of them were her kind.
Because Kiana has always lived in a dream, Mo Yi, the first person she met in her dream, was unknowingly regarded by Kiana as the first person of her kind she knew.
Then, Kiana said to K801 in a detached tone:
"Give me another serving of food."
PS: Chapter 284, Princess Arc 84: For the Princess, Yuuka Kazami is just a minor nuisance. In her future memories, she only ever wanted to kidnap Mo Yi and didn't have any romantic thoughts. In her words, beauties are only meant for the strong, and a strong person like her naturally needs to find a final partner so that the strongest next generation can be born. Simply put, she's all about battle and not a threat, since she can't possibly defeat the future Mo Yi. For Houraisan Kaguya, Megatron's bloodline is her biggest obstacle. Only by eliminating Megatron can Houraisan Kaguya truly feel at ease. There's no one in Gensokyo who can rival her. As for Valkyrie, that's a matter for other worlds. To deal with external threats, internal stability is paramount. For her, the territorial issues of Gensokyo are like family matters; they must be resolved first to consolidate her base. "Yuuka Kazami— " Faced with two enemies, the Princess chose to play it safe for now. After all, she was already the victor, so she wanted to quickly resolve the Scarlet Devil Mansion matter and return home to get married. As for mocking the enemies and mentally crushing the dog, that wasn't urgent. "Now that everyone's here, let's go find the owner of this place," Mo Yi suggested, jumping in when he sensed the awkward atmosphere.
Chapter 384: True Kiana: It's not that I'm worried about the other person being hungry!
"Bishop, the adjustments are almost complete."
A woman resembling Kallen, wearing high-tech VR glasses and sporting a dangerous side ponytail, was looking down at Zhenqi, who was wearing the fourth-generation Valkyrie God-Slaying Armor —White Knight Moonlight—on the trial field. True Kiana was still missing various connection tubes and was undergoing testing and adjustments by the experimenters.
"Um?"
Lord Green Otto turned his gaze away and looked at his most trusted subordinate, asking, "Amber, is there something you want to say?"
"Bishop--"
The woman named Amber, still with her head slightly bowed, said:
"Although Unit-01 did not show any signs of resistance, it was clearly different from the other test subjects and had not truly submitted."
"Why make her the test subject for the latest Valkyrie Armor?"
"Moreover, with her power, she doesn't need the Valkyrie Armor at all; it would only make her more dangerous."
"It's alright—"
Lord Green Otto revealed a smile that said, "Everything is going according to plan."
"The White Knight series was originally designed and developed for the Moonlight Goddess Project, and Unit 1 is naturally the most suitable test subject."
Lord Green Otto didn't continue speaking. After all, as a boss, how could he possibly tell his subordinates all his thoughts? A qualified boss always reveals only half of what he means. If his subordinates can't grasp the boss's deeper meaning, it means they're not up to par. Besides, this is how the boss maintains his mystery and prestige.
Lord Green Otto: Everything is going according to my plan. The stronger the other party becomes, the better, because in the end they will all become his possession.
The Schicksal Bishop is that confident!
"Is there anything else?"
The woman named Amber truthfully stated:
"According to the examination, Unit-01's brainwaves are more active than ever before—"
"Um?"
Finally, something interesting came up, and Lord Green Otto looked at Kiana below the stage with some interest.
The more active a person's emotions are, the more active their brainwaves will be. This is also an indicator that Lord Green Otto uses to monitor experimental subjects. After all, the more active a person's emotions are, the more thoughts they have, and the more vigilant they need to be, because experimental subjects are not required to have their own thoughts.
As for True Kiana's EEG, it has always been extremely low, not much better than that of a person in a vegetative state.
