I Am a Saintess in Schicksal

The propaganda department's zealous efforts were, in themselves, a trap set by Bishop Otto.

As he spoke, Bishop Otto produced a specially made injection gun. The syringe within the gun held a liquid that shimmered like fresh blood.

K422, her consciousness growing clearer, asked, "Bishop, what is that?"

She was completely unable to resist and could only cooperate with Bishop Otto.

It was clear that Bishop Otto had injected her with a muscle relaxant. Combined with the restraints on the experimental table, Bishop Otto's precautions against her were beyond imagination.

Even though she had done her best to appear harmless and pretend to be loyal to Schicksal.

Bishop Otto still chose to incapacitate her.

He gave her no chance to turn the tables.

She had indeed considered killing Bishop Otto the moment she became a Valkyrie.

But there were too many uncertain factors in that thought, and K422 wasn't that impulsive.

Moreover, her recent life had been going quite well. The only thing that bothered her was K423's precarious situation.

Even the substitute who was supposed to undergo the modification surgery on January 9th, as Bishop Otto mentioned, could only be K423, that unlucky child.

The only fortunate thing was that the leader of Anti-Entropy and Theresa had confirmed K423's location.

If there were any rescue plans, K423 would have the highest chance of being saved.

K422 forced herself to calm down.

Since she had no chance to resist, she could only try to gather as much information from Bishop Otto as possible.

The red liquid, like fresh blood, swirled with a suffocating, alluring halo, much like the finest red wine.

"This thing..."

Bishop Otto wore a delighted smile.

Perhaps he was very satisfied that she showed no signs of resistance.

"This is a purified extract of Schariac Holy Blood, used to activate the Schariac Holy Blood within you. The bloodline power of the Schariac family head is the manipulation of Honkai Energy, but the power that can completely erase Honkai Energy, above that, is the Schariac Holy Blood."

"The ability to manipulate Honkai Energy allows you to better utilize Honkai Energy weapons and effectively convert Honkai Energy into elemental attacks. However, the reason your mother, Cecilia, was the strongest Valkyrie of the previous generation in Schicksal was because she possessed Schariac Holy Blood within her."

Bishop Otto explained patiently.

K422 had no idea about Schariac Holy Blood.

The Kaslana Family's bloodline power manifested as extremely strong resistance to Honkai Energy, which is why people from the Kaslana Family, regardless of gender, could become warriors against the Honkai.

The Schariac Family's bloodline power manifested as the manipulation of Honkai Energy, thus weapons that used Honkai Energy could exert power several, or even tens of times greater than others.

At the same time, it was the most suitable physique for using Divine Keys.

However, the characteristic of completely eliminating Honkai Energy, if it truly existed, meant that the Schariac Family's bloodline power was not the manipulation of Honkai Energy, but the Honkai Killer.

"..."

K422 recalled that after Bishop Otto discovered her activating the Schariac Family's bloodline power, he seemed to have muttered "Honkai Killer" to himself.

This meant that the power to eliminate Honkai Energy required the Schariac Family's bloodline power.

No wonder it was named 'Schariac Holy Blood'.

"Can everyone from the Schariac Family possess Holy Blood?"

"Oh? As expected of Kiana, to notice that. In truth, only a select few have the potential for it. You are indeed Cecilia's daughter; a little stimulation from the purified extract of Schariac Holy Blood is enough to activate your own Schariac Holy Blood."

Bishop Otto chuckled.

He wasn't lying.

He just hadn't clarified many things.

Schariac Holy Blood could indeed only be possessed by members of the Schariac Family.

But to possess Schariac Holy Blood, one first needed to activate the Schariac Family's bloodline power, which was the talent for manipulating Honkai Energy. Even with the talent, the success rate of possessing Schariac Holy Blood after modification remained low.

There had been very few successful cases so far.

The head of the Schariac Family from two generations ago did not activate it.

In fact, that person hadn't even activated the Schariac Family's bloodline power, but she did give birth to a good daughter, a Valkyrie with perfect Schariac Holy Blood.

To be honest, Bishop Otto also felt a great pity that such a Valkyrie had sacrificed herself in the Second Eruption.

Fortunately, there was a better substitute now.

Even a superior replacement.

Perfect dual bloodlines and Schariac Holy Blood.

The Honkai Killer he envisioned would soon be created by himself.

Otto even couldn't help himself.

The red liquid swirling in the syringe was quickly injected into K422's young body.

Even though they were both clones, the two parties were still in a parent-child relationship, so there would be no rejection reaction at all. Therefore, the success rate of activating the Schariac Holy Blood was 100%.

Of course, if the Holy Blood that completely eliminated Honkai Energy was activated prematurely, and then Honkai Energy was used to strengthen the body, it would definitely cause a rejection reaction.

Therefore, the modification surgery had to be performed simultaneously.

"Kiana, the modification surgery is about to begin. Next, we'll be administering anesthesia. When you wake up, you'll be a Valkyrie," Otto said in a cheerful tone.

K422's consciousness gradually sank into darkness.

After the muscle relaxant came the anesthetic. She had a lot of "MMP" she wanted to say to Bishop Otto.

"This is terrible. Bishop Otto has so many secrets."

She had never heard of the Schariac Holy Blood before.

Whether it was the little maids around her, the teacher sisters arranged by Otto, or Aunt Theresa and Instructor Laguna, K422 had inquired a lot about her mother Cecilia from them.

She had only heard that her mother possessed the special physique of the perfect Schariac family, which was the ability to manipulate Honkai Energy, and thus could perfectly unleash the power of the Black Abyss White Flower.

She had never heard of the ability to eliminate Honkai Energy.

On the battlefield against the Honkai, how terrifying would it be to possess such an ability?

In the consciousness space, True Kiana and K423, who had just entered, looked at her with concern.

"Xiao Er, are you okay? Your complexion is a bit frightening."

"Miss, Sister... you're so scary."

After half a year of growth, K423 now understood that she could see the two sisters who doted on her in this space every night.

Her current life was becoming increasingly difficult. She was surrounded by cold and ruthless researchers who performed cruel experiments on her, completely disregarding her cries.

She had finally learned to speak, but she couldn't find anyone to communicate with in reality. K423 had therefore shut herself off.

Perhaps scared by her appearance, K423, who had a psychological age of only 2 or 3 years old, hid behind True Kiana.

"Xiao San, be good, don't be afraid. Your second sister just puts on a grumpy face..."

True Kiana was now very satisfied with the relationship between the three sisters.

Perhaps because her own situation was very similar and she had no one to talk to in reality, she felt great pity for K423.

"True Kiana, do you know about the Schariac Holy Blood?"

"Schariac Holy Blood? What is that?"

True Kiana also looked confused.

"A power that can erase Honkai Energy."

Facing her answer, True Kiana became even more perplexed.

"How is that possible? There's a power that can erase Honkai Energy?"

"It is said that our mother had such a power."

K422 was very helpless. She was still too ignorant.

But she was certain that the number of people who knew about the Schariac Holy Blood was definitely not many.

It was highly likely that Bishop Otto had created the Schariac Holy Blood by researching the Valkyries of past Schariac families.

True Kiana shook her head: "I don't know. Mom never mentioned it."

"How did you know about this?"

"Because I'm about to become a Valkyrie..."

Hearing her say this, True Kiana's expression changed.

"Isn't it January 9th?"

"That was a lie."

K422 gave a wry smile.

38. How did it turn into this?

True Kiana looked astonished: "A lie?"

When she heard that K422 would become a Valkyrie on January 9th, she was both happy for her and worried about her safety.

She never expected it to be a lie.

"Yes, it was a lie. Bishop Otto announced a fake date. He's probably setting a trap for others to fall into that day, and the one receiving the modification surgery on January 9th should be Xiao San."

Speaking of which, K422 let out a deep sigh.

Now her own body was being manipulated by Bishop Otto as he pleased, and on January 9th, her foolish little sister's body would also be manipulated by Bishop Otto as he pleased.

She was even being used as bait to lure fools like Aunt Theresa.

The foolish little sister shrunk her neck and continued to hide behind True Kiana.

K422 was quite despairing of Theresa's intelligence.

She'd hinted at it several times, but the other party hadn't caught on at all.

So, with Theresa's intelligence, she would definitely fall right into the trap Bishop Otto had set.

K422 really wanted to send a warning to Theresa and the leader of Anti-Entropy, but everything had happened too suddenly, catching her off guard.

Back when the leader of Anti-Entropy left, they had secretly left her a communicator.

This communicator could bypass Schicksal headquarters' signal jamming device to contact the leader of Anti-Entropy just once.

But K422 knew there was no chance.

Since she was secretly taken to a secret laboratory for Valkyrie modification surgery, it would be impossible for her to appear before everyone by January 9th. Starting tomorrow, K423, that little airhead crybaby, would be sleeping in her bed and playing her game console.

But these were still minor issues. What truly gave her a headache was the Schariac Holy Blood.

Although ninety percent of the curriculum Bishop Otto had arranged for her was to whitewash Schicksal's actions and constantly embellish their righteousness, it did contain a considerable amount of knowledge about the Honkai that humanity fought against.

After all, Bishop Otto had crafted a "daughter of a hero" persona for her.

If she had no understanding of the Honkai whatsoever, then Bishop Otto's carefully constructed persona would crumble.

Therefore, Bishop Otto wouldn't actually raise her as a naive, sweet little princess.

It was precisely because she had a basic understanding of the Honkai that K422 found this powerful ability to erase Honkai Energy so strange.

The Schariac family definitely wouldn't know about this.

Even if only a few people possessed the Schariac Holy Blood, they could become the best slogan.

After all, no one could refuse the Schariac family, who possessed the ability to erase Honkai Energy, especially in this world filled with Honkai.

But he had never heard of it.

The Schariac family was still just the Schariac family that manipulated Honkai Energy.

Yet, the Schariac Holy Blood that could erase Honkai Energy truly existed.
