Chapter 348

Perhaps it was Freya's aura that made K423 feel close to her, because she didn't immediately dodge the small hand that was reaching up to her head.

When Freya approached, K423's first reaction was that she was so small, about the same height as the headmistress she was familiar with, although the difference in their bust size was quite significant.

Immediately afterward, as her small hand gently stroked the top of her head, K423 suddenly felt a surge of grievance in her chest, as if she wanted to cry loudly in front of this girl who was like her younger sister.

"I..."

K423 opened her mouth, but suddenly couldn't speak.

Freya continued to gently stroke K423's head. She glanced at the phantom beside her, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and gave her a look that told her to figure it out herself.

If you disturb the bond between the sisters, Freya will not show mercy, even if you are a fairy from a parallel world.

Seeing Fu Hua shut up, Freya's attention returned to K423. Her gaze became even gentler, like an older sister protecting her younger sister as she slept peacefully. Her small hand, which was covering K423's head, gently stroked it.

"Don't overthink it. Although you are not Aurora, you are indeed my sister. Please take care of me."

"Ah? Um... nice to meet you."

K423 seemed to be still in a daze, completely following Freya's words. When she came to her senses, she realized that she seemed to have become the younger sister of the Herrscher of this other world.

"Is your name now Kiana Kaslana?"

"Yes, yes," K423 replied.

Freya frowned, then let out a heavy sigh.

Previously, when Aurora left the Schicksal Headquarters and arrived at the Anti-Entropy Aurora's base, Siegfried, perhaps on a whim, thought of naming Aurora Kiana. Of course, he later planned to name her Cecilia Siegfried.

In contrast, Tesla took a part of his own name and wanted to name Aurora Frey Nikola.

Although the name was similar to her own, it contained the love of Frederica Nikola Tesla, and it was from that time that her maternal instincts were awakened.

No one expected that Tesla would eventually become Aurora's adoptive mother.

Of course, after the group compromised, they named Aurora Xiqi.

Although the story of how the group named Aurora in the Anti-Entropy organization is now a cherished memory, the terrible naming skills of a certain individual are common to all parallel worlds.

Freya couldn't understand why Siegfried named K423 that.

From a certain perspective, this name is unfair to both K423 and the real Kiana.

"I want to give you a name. Of course, I also respect your wishes, because the name Kiana Kaslana has become an integral part of your life by that irresponsible guy. I can't take away your name and your life. So, the name I want to give you is just a nickname."

For K423 in the parallel universe, the name Kiana Kaslana has been with her for a long time.

"Let's call her Kiki, hmm, although Nana and Little Bug are also nice nicknames."

"???"

K423 blinked. She didn't dislike the nickname "Kiki," but she had mixed feelings about the other two nicknames. Putting Nana aside, how did the nickname "Little Bug" even come about?

"I don't know why, but after seeing you, I always feel like calling you Kiana."

"???"

'Kiki' felt even more confused.

The nicknames Kiki and Nana seem to be taken from the name Kiana, but neither Xiaochong nor Kiana has any source.

"Kiki will be fine."

Freya was pleased to see that the nickname she had chosen was liked by the other person, and patted her little head a few more times.

"Well then, Kiki, let me show you the power I use to protect you."

After speaking, Freya smiled at the floating monitoring device that had captured her image, then fixed her gaze on the approaching World Serpent mech force in the distance.

"The Titan Mech force of World Serpent? Does Cocolia of this world still have connections with the World Serpent organization?"

With a snap.

Freya withdrew her hand from the girl's head and snapped her fingers loudly at the mech unit hundreds of meters away.

(What are you up to!!)

Fu Hua, who relies on her mental state, questioned.

Fu Hua didn't know what the Herrscher from another world was up to. Although the Herrscher from another world had no hostility towards them, Fu Hua never dared to let her guard down for a moment.

She didn't know why, but ever since she met this Herrscher from another world, her instincts kept screaming for her to get away from him.

It wasn't just the familiar face, but also the instinctive warning that kept Fu Hua from relaxing for even a moment.

Freya ignored Fu Hua's question. Her gaze lingered on the mecha force for only a moment, after a loud snap of her fingers... and then, a roar swept across Sky City.

A purple bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere in the night sky, almost illuminating the pitch-black night, and the thunder that followed startled everyone in Sky City.

(H-How is this possible?!)

Although the night wasn't exactly cloudless, the density of the dark clouds made it impossible for them to produce such a frightening clap of thunder.

Before Fu Hua and Kiki could finish their shock, the purple lightning that pierced the darkness reappeared in the night sky. The dark clouds gathered at a visible speed, and with a series of booming sounds, the lightning in the dark clouds seemed to be accumulating. Then, an extremely thick purple bolt of lightning descended from the sky and landed in the center of the Titan Mech force.

Whether they were residents of the city or members of the three major forces who came to the city for various reasons, they all witnessed this terrible scene.

The mech force, consisting of dozens of Titan Mech, was wiped out in an instant.

Purple lightning destroyed everything inside the mech unit.

As the terrifying purple lightning, which had been suspended for two or three seconds, gradually dissipated, the entire city suddenly fell silent. Affected by the purple lightning, the city's power plant was paralyzed, and half of the city's lights suddenly went out.

"See? I'm capable of protecting you."

Freya was quite satisfied with the destructive power of the attack, considering that her physique was the best match for the abilities of the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Consciousness.

The former stems from the presence of Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, within his body, making him somewhat of a clone of the Second Herrscher. The latter, however, is clearly inseparable from his past life's FU, and the spiritual link between himself, Kiana, and Aurora is the ability of the Herrscher of Consciousness.

The Herrscher of Consciousness can pull others into the dream world they create, and the consciousness space of Freya, Kiana, and Aurora, no matter how you look at it, seems to be a space created by the Herrscher of Consciousness's ability.

This is why Freya's mastery of the abilities of the other Herrscher is far less than that of the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Consciousness.

The reason why even the Herrscher of Thunder has such terrifying power is because it is a side effect of once transforming into the Herrscher of Finality, or it can be said to be a metamorphosis.

However, neither Kiki nor Fu Hua had yet recovered from the terrible destruction.

"You... you are the Herrscher of Thunder..."

Kiki felt like she had been in shock all night; she felt like her senses were going numb.

Of course, her feeling was just an illusion.

Freya shrugged and said.

"Kiki, I'm sorry, I guessed wrong... I am indeed Herrscher, or more precisely, a clone who has reached the Herrscher level. If I had to define myself, well, since I can't become the [Finality], I'll just call myself [Apocalypse]. You can call me Apocalypse Herrscher."

"..."

(...)

When Fu Hua heard Freya mention the Herrscher of Finality, Fu Hua was initially startled, but after seeing Freya's expression, she and Kiki immediately chose to remain silent.

Or perhaps, the two of them chose to remain silent, giving off a strange feeling that they would lose if they complained.

394. It was truly an accident that I took Kiki in as my younger sister because I felt sorry for her.

Freya introduced herself as the Apocalypse Herrscher to Kiki and Fu Hua.

In reality, she only possesses a portion of the powers of the Herrscher of Finality. Even though she can use all the Herrscher's abilities, the strength of those abilities is related to individual constitution.

Therefore, abilities other than those of the Herrscher of the Void and Herrscher of Consciousness cannot unleash their true power.

That being said, it's enough to handle small situations.

The Herrscher of Thunder has the most expressive control over electromagnetic forces. Just by summoning lightning, the sky can be instantly covered with dark clouds, with lightning flashing in the clouds and roaring across the sky, creating a strong sense of oppression.

Freya felt that using the power of the Herrscher of Thunder to announce her arrival was the most appropriate thing to do.

Whether or not the Third Herrscher has been born in this world, or if it has, it may have already disappeared. Therefore, no one can compete with her in manipulating lightning. On the contrary, if she were to manipulate fire or ice, she might be mistaken for Kevin.

Freya believes that in this parallel world, Kevin has already escaped the Sea of Quantum.

"That idiot Jackal is so bold as to send out a mech force directly, which can only mean one thing."

Freya smiled slightly.

"Kevin has indeed returned. Only with his return to World Serpent would the Jackal be so arrogant."

Although Jackal from different worlds may have different personalities, Freya temporarily ruled out this possibility. Based on her understanding of Jackal, she naturally analyzed some of the true situation from their actions.

Freya didn't dare to claim that her analysis was 100% correct, but she had worked with the Jackal for many years and was indeed very familiar with Jackal personality.

As long as someone supports her and gives her confidence, she easily gets carried away and becomes extremely reckless.

Freya kept the Jackal by her side initially as a gift for Kiana. She believed that Kiana could use the Jackal as a sacrifice to unite the loyalty of the World Serpent Remnants.

Kiana was unwilling to do so, and Freya happened to be pursuing a research career, so they kept Jackal as their research assistant.

As they worked together for a longer period, Freya's attitude towards the Jackal softened considerably. In addition, the jackal had indeed helped her a lot. Even though Freya was still willing to hand the Jackal over to Kiana to be slaughtered as a sacrifice, she would not allow anyone else to bully the Jackal.

Freya unwittingly became Jackal's backer, and then one day she suddenly had a wild idea to compete with Tesla for the position of director of the First Research Institute.

After Freya discovered this, she immediately put her in solitary confinement.

"Since I don't exist in this world, Jackal should still be the head of Shencheng Medicine, right? And this seems to be Sky City. Heh, fate is truly wonderful~"

Freya smiled with delight. Her first encounter with the Jackal was in Sky City.

Of course, Freya sent out an investigation team because she suspected that Shencheng Medicine had problems. However, she didn't expect that the investigation would be so successful, or rather, that Jackal would jump out and admit it. This led to a full-scale war between the Schicksal and Shencheng Medicine.

Just like the idiom "beating the grass to startle the snake," it brought out the snake that had been lurking in the shadows.

This battle also changed the fate of Schicksal and the World Serpent.

Freya turned to look at Kiki and Fu Hua, and said with a smile, "Alright, Kiki, Immortal Fu Hua, now that the enemy has appeared, let's quickly take care of them."

Freya was surprised that she could say it so casually.

Freya quickly realized the reason. In her original world, she was first the Acting Grand Bishop of the Schicksal, and now she is the Schicksal Saintess of the Alliance Schicksal Faction, as well as a senior researcher.

He was also the leader of one of the two top forces fighting against the Honkai in that world, and he was in check and balance with the leader of the other two top forces.

She is responsible for the lives of millions of people under her command every moment.

In this parallel world, she is merely a Herrscher from another world. Even if she promises to protect Kiki, it is simply a matter of using her power on one person.

Protecting millions of people carries a completely different weight than protecting one person.

This is why Freya felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and power.

With Freya's radiant smile, neither Kiki nor Fu Hua objected; their visit to Sky City was indeed for a specific purpose.

Kiki and Fu Hua had no reason to refuse to travel with Freya, who was so powerful and kind-hearted. Only a fool would push away such a strong and powerful ally.

Of course, as far as Fu Hua was concerned, she dared not let Freya out of her sight, for who knew what terrible things Freya might do.

Seeing that the two agreed, Freya became even happier.

"Unfortunately, the bastard bishop of this world is just as cautious. So far, he has only sent out floating monitors. I thought he would send Valkyrie squad to test me."

Freya looked around, but among the towering buildings, she didn't see anything suspicious.

Of course, because of the lightning strike, the power plant in Sky City was affected, and half of the city's lights went out, as if the city had sunk into a black lake.

"Um..." Kiki opened her mouth, she had many questions she wanted to ask. After all, ever since Freya appeared, she and Fu Hua had been following each other's rhythm, and she was almost completely surprised and confused. She was almost becoming a robot who could only nod.

"Call her Freya, sister."

Freya frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Kiki's attitude towards her. She had already hinted that she would protect her, but Kiki still didn't immediately call her "sister."

"Sister Freya?"

Kiki was confused again. She couldn't understand what this 'older sister' from a parallel world was saying or doing.

"What's so strange about that? In the world I live in, K423 is Kiana and me's little sister."

Freya had previously told Kiki Aurora's full name.

This made Kiki very envious.

Although she received her name from her father, it belonged to someone else. Even though the name was intertwined with her life, the name Kiana Kaslana ultimately belonged to someone else.

The girl named Aurora Schariac Tesla Young is herself from a parallel world, but she has her own name and loving adoptive parents.

To be honest, Kiki really likes herself to be Aurora.
