Chapter 137
"True Kiana, you're being naughty—"
"Yes, but I want my own power."
"So, the guy who tricked you and said he could give you power is the Lord of the World Serpent? Very good, very good, we've found the culprit. I'll mark him half-dead two hundred times in my mental notebook!"
"Two hundred times half-dead?"
True Kiana was clearly unaware of K422's strange method of calculating hatred.
Seeing that K422 wasn't angry, she opened her eyes and smiled, then rubbed her head against the thigh that was under her head.
Of course, the other party was sleeping in Valkyrie Armor called White Comet today, and the feeling of rubbing against the thigh through such a tight-fitting bodysuit was not very pleasant, which made True Kiana miss the bare feet she had rubbed against before.
"Kill him a hundred times!"
K423, with a smug expression on her face, puffed out her little chest, waiting for her second sister to praise her.
Looking at K423, whose little face seemed to say 'Praise me, praise me!', K422 couldn't help but chuckle and poked the little cutie's forehead with her finger.
"You little rascal, I'm talking to your older sister about something, so you'd better just act cute."
"Oh, I'm being cute, I'm adorable~ Meow."
"???"
"???"
K422 and True Kiana were both dumbfounded by K423's cute antics.
"Mei- neechan says this is the cutest way, meow~"
K423 raises its hands like a lucky cat, making a cute gesture of a cat washing its face with its paws.
The already adorable K423 made such a move, and K422 felt like his health bar was completely depleted.
"No way, my little sister is just too cute~~"
K422 couldn't help but hug K423 tightly and rub his face against the other's soft cheek.
K423, delighted by K422's enthusiasm, squinted its eyes and eagerly returned the favor.
"Xiao Er..."
However, True Kiana, who was resting her head on K422's lap, knew that her younger sister was trying to cover up what she had just said by making jokes.
"..."
K422 stiffened and had no choice but to stop rubbing against K423.
K423 pouted and obediently sat down to the side. She knew that her second and first sisters were talking about serious matters, matters that she couldn't interrupt. At that moment, she suddenly felt that getting a perfect score was useless and wouldn't even help her second and third sisters.
At the same time, she also thought of her new friend Iserin, whom she had only recently made.
The adults around her all praised Iserin highly, and perhaps they should be like her and study those giant robots.
"Why can't you just give me some face and pretend to let this go until I destroy the World Serpent first..."
"I won't give it to you..." True Kiana, who had stopped using her lap for support, sat up angrily. "I knew you wanted to destroy the World Serpent first..."
True Kiana could naturally feel the care and love her younger sister had for her.
Therefore, she had long harbored the idea of revealing herself as the successor of the World Serpent Organization.
"The Xiao San is lucky. She doesn't have to work as hard as you, nor does she have to give up her freedom like I have. But you and I are different. You would give up killing Otto to protect me, and sooner or later you would give up killing Otto for other reasons. But I only want to kill Otto—!!"
The young girl's face was filled with hatred.
The murderous voice frightened the youngest sister, and also brought a bitter smile to the face of the sister who had always protected her.
The flames of revenge will reignite no matter how many times they are extinguished.
As long as hatred remains.
150. Bang! And the world is finished.
She knew it would turn out this way.
As long as Otto lives, there will always be an unquenchable resentment in True Kiana's heart.
However, K422 never expected the resentment to be so deep, far exceeding her imagination.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao San, your sister is just too angry."
K422 first turned around to comfort the frightened K423, as she didn't want any rift to appear between K423 and True Kiana.
After K423 calmed down, K422 turned around and unceremoniously reached out and rubbed the hate-filled face with both hands.
"..."
True Kiana, whose face was being rubbed, didn't have time to come to her senses.
But at the same time, he gave a wry smile.
It was precisely because her younger sister was always extinguishing the hatred in her heart that her Revenge Flame remained so weak and never got out of control and burned herself.
I really am deeply loved.
"Don't let hatred consume you, my foolish sister. Of course, I can't stop you from killing Otto, but you can take action, but not with QB's power. World Serpent, an organization with such an unclear origin, sounds suspicious, like a loan shark organization. Don't think that borrowing power comes without a price..."
"The Lord of the World Serpent is Kevin Kaslana, the Great Ancestor of the Kaslana Family."
True Kiana, whose cheeks were being squeezed, did not resist. Instead, she threw out a 'super bomb' that completely stunned K422.
"Kevin Kaslana? He's the Lord of the World Serpent?"
"Yes, and he's still alive, but he's trapped somewhere right now."
True Kiana smiled bitterly, but in the end she still chose to tell the truth.
The fact that this younger sister chose to quickly kill World Serpent instead of clashing with her own stance shows that revealing her identity as a successor actually strengthened K422's determination to kill World Serpent.
What was initially just a small-scale, all-out war in a few regions may have turned into a large-scale global war.
Previously, it was Schicksal fighting Shencheng Medicine. However, because Tianming was caught off guard by Shencheng Medicine and had signed a defense contract with the local government, Schicksal's air fleet did not directly intervene, which gave people the illusion that the two sides were evenly matched.
But next, Schicksal will fight the World Serpent... Given her sister's attitude, she might bring out all of Schicksal's and Anti-Entropy's Floating Battleship.
She had no doubt about her sister's determination to fire the main gun in the city.
After all, this younger sister is willing to compromise with Otto for her sake, so naturally she will treat the World Serpent organization, which led her astray, as an enemy and fight it to the death at all costs. Although she is happy at this moment, if she thinks about it carefully... the World Serpent organization is definitely doomed now.
She revealed her identity because there was simply no other way.
Without revealing the identity of his successor, K422 has already obtained the hideout of most of the World Serpent members from the traitor Jackal. Once the war with Shencheng Medicine ends, it will naturally be the World Serpent's turn to hideout.
However, revealing her identity as the successor only fueled K422's hostility towards World Serpent, making her even less ruthless in her attacks on it.
"Xiao Er, our Great Ancestor is very powerful... It's not a good idea to make enemies of the World Serpent."
"Oh, is it really that strong? How does it compare to Herrscher?"
K422 asked curiously.
"Stronger than the Herrscher, our Great Ancestor was a warrior of the Previous Civilization, and he personally defeated many Herrscher."
True Kiana did not hide the information she knew, after all, she had also been curious about such things.
"It seems that the three thousand Schicksal Honkai Energy fission bomb Schicksal has are not enough."
"???"
True Kiana was confused. Although she couldn't understand what K422 was saying, she felt that her younger sister was definitely saying something scary, and it sounded quite frightening.
"Heh... Is that so? Our Great Ancestor was that powerful? Then I should cut off his limbs even more, so that we only need to deal with one person instead of a whole group."
"..."
True Kiana looked helplessly at K422.
This is no longer a matter of persuasion; revealing the identity of the successor has indeed made K422 hate the other party even more.
"I don't like that man, huh? Hmm... He actually tricked me, a cute but stupid girl with no brains."
"... I'm not as bad off as you make me out to be."
True Kiana was very upset after being scolded.
However, K422 continued.
"I warned you before, don't talk to strangers, and don't believe anyone who asks you 'Do you crave power?' They all make you answer 'I crave breasts.' Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
K422, making a puffed-up face, rubbed True Kiana's face even harder, gradually fading away the hatred on her face.
That expression was really inappropriate for a nine-year-old child.
However, True Kiana's resentment towards Otto ran so deep that... K422 sensed something was wrong.
"Logically speaking, Otto shouldn't have used you for many experiments. The worst torture he inflicted on you was imprisoning you for more than six years... How could you hate him so much?"
"The Xiao Er doesn't know? That makes sense, how could the Xiao Er possibly know?"
True Kiana was somewhat surprised, but quickly revealed an expression of knowing it was true.
The hands rubbing her face had just the right amount of pressure, making True Kiana feel completely immersed in the comfort. She didn't slap away the hands rubbing her face, but her tone was anything but calm.
"Our mother was killed by Otto..."
"Um??"
Hearing True Kiana say that, K422 stopped rubbing her face and looked up at True Kiana in surprise.
"Otto killed our mother, is that true? How do you know? How did you find out about this?"
This truth is too bizarre for K422.
Although K422 didn't understand Schicksal for a while, after learning about his mother Cecilia's popularity, he maliciously wondered if his mother's achievements were too great and that's why he was tricked and killed by Otto in the Second Eruption War.
But after learning about Cecilia's actual value, K422 found it hard to believe that Otto would kill Cecilia.
It should be noted that the core of her current ability, the anti-Honkai wave, originates from the Schariac Holy Blood within her body.
The holy blood extract that activates the Schariac Holy Blood her body is taken from Cecilia ... Of course, after becoming the Acting Grand Bishop, K422 also knew that the holy blood extract was actually taken from Cecilia's clone.
Although it is possible to extract Holy Blood from clones, the Holy Blood itself is far less valuable than Cecilia, the Herrscher Killer.
Moreover, the serum developed using Holy Blood did not go smoothly, and the use of Holy Blood as a weapon was far from reaching the level of actual combat. At the same time, because the new version of Holy Blood that appeared in K422's body had a stronger Honkai Energy, Otto abandoned the original Holy Blood.
However... if Otto really had a choice, he would absolutely not allow his Herrscher Killer to perish in the Second Eruption War.
The price paid was far too high compared to the results achieved.
Although Cecilia's reputation can influence all the Valkyrie, she herself grew up in the Schicksal and has a deep affection for it. She is also extremely obedient to Otto's orders and has a close relationship with Otto's granddaughter, Theresa.
"To be honest, I find this hard to believe. If you said that bastard bishop wanted to kill Siegfried, I would absolutely believe it, but to say that he wanted to kill our mother Cecilia, that's just unbelievable..."
K422's face was filled with shock.
True Kiana hadn't expected K422 to react so strongly, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Clearly, because of Otto's affection, her younger sister could no longer regard Otto as a true enemy.
"I know you won't believe it, but in your eyes, Otto must be a good person..."
"No, in my eyes, that bastard bishop is also an incorrigible person, far from being a good person. True Kiana, you misunderstand. I only analyzed the possibility that Otto killed our mother based on the information I had..."
K422 withdrew her hands from True Kiana's face. Feeling the warmth of her hands leaving, True Kiana showed a hint of reluctance. She actually wanted her cute little sister to keep rubbing her face.
"No matter what others think, Otto is ultimately a great benefactor in the hearts of the Valkyrie of Schicksal. He is the Grand Bishop of the largest organization in the world fight against Honkai. He has done a lot of charity work and rescued countless people in distress. Of course, he is also essentially trying to win people's hearts and provide soldiers for the Valkyrie of Schicksal. So his behavior is really despicable in essence."
"And our mother was an experimental subject provided to him by the Schariac Family. Although she was designated Schariac Saintess, having grown up in the Schicksal Headquarters, she would never disobey the orders of that bastard bishop. In other words, if that bastard bishop is a lecherous, bald, fat pig, then our father might be that filthy, festering bastard bishop—"
"???"
True Kiana suddenly felt confused.
Even though her own sister was defending Otto.
She even tried to refute the claim that Otto killed their mother Cecilia by analyzing the information she knew, but somehow it always felt like her sister was taking the opportunity to criticize Otto ...
Are she really close to Otto?
Why do I always feel like she wishes Otto were dead even more than I do?
"Our mother can be said to be submissive to that bastard bishop. It would be difficult to say that she rebelled against him. After all, Theresa could disagree with the bastard bishop because she was his favorite granddaughter and because that bastard bishop tolerated all of Theresa's actions."
"However, our mother was just Herrscher Killer trained by Otto, just like the secret unit I sent to you. She was trained through special methods. Of course, that scoundrel didn't use the same methods to train Deadman when he trained our mother, but our mother knew her identity. She never had any thoughts of resistance and had no reason for that bastard to kill her."
True Kiana thought K422 made a lot of sense, however... with all those insults like "dog Otto" and "filthy bastard, "True Kiana felt something was off.
