Chapter 393
Meanwhile, the person in charge of the small island that Kiana arrived at, which was relatively close to Changkong City, also came to meet Kiana, an Alliance executive, in person.
Kiana quickly spotted the person in charge of the island, a cool and aloof girl with long blue-purple hair and wearing a white robe.
Kiana was surprised that the person in charge of the island was so young, and the person in charge of the island showed a gentle and delicate smile the moment he saw Kiana.
"Hello..."
449. This is really...
Kiana hadn't expected the person in charge of this small island to be so young.
Although she was also very young, she was already one of the senior officers of the alliance, with command over tens of thousands of people, but her situation was different, as she had connections above her.
"Hello, I am Freya Kaslana, a senior judge of the Alliance."
Kiana introduced herself to the lady in charge.
Although this self-introduction made her somewhat depressed, after all, she had finally managed to change the international image of the World Serpent, only to have it break into a civil war.
It's impossible for Kiana to say she harbors no resentment towards SU, but she also understands that it was all a trap set by her cute, arrogant, and sharp-tongued second sister.
The more powerful the World Serpent Organization becomes, the more severe the consequences will be.
Of course, Kiana wouldn't be angry with her second sister, so she could only feel frustrated.
Continuing to flaunt her sister's name was just a minor whim; however, while the World Serpent Organization was disintegrating due to the civil war, Freya, who planted these 'explosives,' was busy in a distant parallel world because of SU.
When SU proposed surrendering to the Alliance, Kiana did have objections, but now Kiana has accepted her new identity.
It's not so bad to work in the same organization as my two younger sisters, or rather, to serve my two younger sisters.
"Hello, I am Jana, the person in charge of this island."
A delicate girl in a white robe with long, blue-purple hair replied, her bright eyes curiously scrutinizing Kiana.
Kiana didn't find anything strange about it; she was clearly used to such curious gazes. In fact, curious gazes were fine, but what she worried about most were those 'motherly caring gazes'.
To be honest, she was overwhelmed by all that care.
Because of the rumors spread by Freya and Aurora, the children between Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Schariac were changed from only Kiana Kaslana to Kiana and Aurora being twins, with Aurora entrusted to Welt by Siegfried; eventually, it became a three-sister structure, with Freya, as the eldest sister, being taken away by the leader of the World Serpent Organization from a young age...
After the World Serpent Organization surrendered, Kiana, who looked almost exactly like Freya and Aurora, was seen, and the rumors that had been circulating in the shadows were finally confirmed.
Of course, this incident also caused Siegfried's reputation to decline once again.
After all, the original rumor was that Kiana and Aurora were twins. In this rumor, Siegfried betrayed the Schicksal and entrusted his second daughter to his friend Welt in order to escape the Schicksal's pursuit.
Regardless of the current situation of Anti-Entropy and Schicksal merging, back then, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy were still in a hostile relationship. However, Siegfried had a close relationship with Welt and even had the trust to entrust his daughter to him during his escape. Simply put, this guy harbored the heart of a traitor even during the Schicksal era.
If that's all there was to it, then it's fine.
However, Siegfried then went to the World Serpent Organization with Kiana.
Although Siegfried was codenamed Black Serpent, anyone with eyes could see that the libertine wielding the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment was none other than Siegfried.
Then he immediately became known as a traitor to three masters in everyone's eyes.
Even members of the Anti-Entropy organization despised his wavering stance and worried that he might take away the organization's Anti-Entropy information when he Anti-Entropy.
Aurora knew her second sister's plans, and Kiana didn't want the three sisters to end up with only the two of them, so she tacitly allowed Aurora to spread rumors about the three sisters.
The original intention, as part of the artistic revisions, was to create a better character for Siegfried, for example, that he would have to obey the orders of the World Serpent Lord because of his eldest daughter who had been taken away by the World Serpent Lord.
Whether it was betraying Schicksal or betraying Anti-Entropy, it was all based on the orders of the World Serpent Lord.
In other words, the initial plan of the rumors was to pin all the blame on the Lord of the World Serpent, namely Kevin.
However, the actual development did not go as Aurora had predicted.
After all, according to the rumors, the eldest daughter was taken away by the World Serpent Organization shortly after birth, and Siegfried himself had a rather bad reputation within the Schicksal during that period.
Siegfried's reputation could have been completely reversed by the character Aurora created, portraying him as a tragic father who chose family over loyalty.
However, Shigure Kira, a former member of the Snow Wolf Squad who has now returned to the Alliance, delivered a powerful blow at this moment.
That is, she said that after Kiana was born, Siegfried not only had no worries about his eldest daughter being taken away, but also became even more carefree and flirted with other Valkyrie.
As a result... her reputation plummeted to the Aurora could salvage it.
Of course, as a consequence of Siegfried's declining reputation, Kiana suddenly received a lot of attention within the League.
The older the Valkyrie, the more she felt sorry for her eldest daughter who had a lecherous old man as her father.
Despite being kidnapped by the World Serpent Organization at such a young age, her lecherous father showed no remorse whatsoever.
Unlike Siegfried Two, who is recovering from his injuries in a parallel world, Siegfried in this world is currently trying to salvage his reputation.
Fortunately, with Cecilia's encouragement, Siegfried didn't find it painful at all.
It must be said that Tesla and Einstein provided Cecilia with some peripherals. Although her consciousness still lingered in the Black Abyss White Flower, she was already able to communicate freely with Siegfried through those peripherals.
Previously, they could only communicate by phone, but now, Siegfried is like having a virtual wife, able to talk to Cecilia is displayed on the peripheral screen.
Of course, Tesla did consider creating a silicone humanoid mecha peripheral so that the two could have a normal married life.
After all... it's been twelve years since Cecilia left, and she's worried that Siegfried might feel stifled if he finds his wife again, since Cecilia is surprisingly alluring.
However, Tesla's idea was thwarted by Einstein and Welt.
After having a man, Tesla's imagination ran wilder, and sometimes his sudden inspirations led to unexpectedly fast speeds.
Kiana gave a wry smile.
Previously, she had also felt indignant on behalf of her father, Siegfried, but her father felt that this kind of reputation was better for him, since the situation was ultimately caused by his lack of ability.
Moreover, his wife Cecilia, even if she only retained a part of her consciousness, had returned to his side. He had not only found his daughter Kiana, but also gained two more lovely daughters.
Of course, one of them became the adopted daughter of his good friend, while the other, though sharp-tongued, still regarded him as her father.
Siegfried was not dissatisfied with his situation, but Kiana always received care from those around her in the League.
More than curious stares, the concern was truly unbearable.
Even though Kiana initially defended Siegfried, her so-called explanation was just a cover-up, and the cover-up meant that the incident actually happened. Coupled with Shigure Kira's testimony, Siegfried was completely unable to clear his name.
After all, Siegfried was a bit arrogant at the time. He had a super cute daughter with his wife Cecilia, so he naturally wanted to show her off to everyone he met.
Within the Schicksal, besides researchers, Valkyrie are naturally the most numerous.
In the eyes of the original Snow Wolf Squad members, it was basically just him flirting with other women, and he couldn't argue with that.
Aurora never expected her carefully crafted persona to fail so miserably.
Perhaps unable to resist the enthusiasm of those Valkyrie, Kiana took the initiative to choose an overseas mission.
Noticing Jana's gaze, Kiana quickly suppressed her wry smile. She just wanted to find the mastermind behind the attack as soon as possible and then find a way to clear her father's name.
However, finding clues on the island where the Enhanced Humanoid Honkai Beast had stayed for a short while is undoubtedly a very difficult task.
At this point, Kiana could only hope that Bianca could capture the Humanoid Honkai Beast and find clues about the mastermind behind the attack from it.
After the introduction, Kiana inquired about the situation with the person in charge. After some investigation, the Alliance confirmed that the Enhanced Humanoid Honkai Beast had been hiding on this island.
In fact, even the investigators did not expect that the Enhanced Humanoid Honkai Beast was hiding on this small island.
It's no wonder that whenever it feigns an attack in front of the Alliance base, it always manages to escape Bianca's pursuit immediately, given that the distance between it and Changkong City isn't far.
"So, the island's residents haven't noticed anything unusual during this period?"
"Yes, Your Honor."
The seemingly frail-looking manager answered with a smile.
"This is really..."
Kiana sighed slightly, thinking that the Enhanced Humanoid Honkai Beast was too cunning.
Even Freya couldn't have imagined that on the very day she returned, the Enhanced Humanoid Honkai Beast was hiding on this island, planning to launch a feint attack on the base after Bianca returned. However, upon sensing her return, it immediately abandoned the island...
Although this also exposed its tracks and allowed Bianca to lock onto it, it still managed to outmaneuver Bianca for quite some time thanks to its powerful perception and stealth abilities.
Even now, there's still a possibility that Bianca could be dumped by her partner.
"Ah, I'd rather know about Miss Judge than that."
After exchanging a few words with Janna, Kiana and Jana became closer. Faced with Jana's curiosity, Kiana couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression.
"What does Miss Jana want to know about me?"
Although it is currently official business time, Kiana will not be restricted. Moreover, she has already arranged suitable personnel, and with the special talents of the people she brought this time, they should be able to find more useful clues soon.
Kiana, who had a good impression of the island's manager, naturally didn't refuse Jana's curiosity.
At least the curious gazes made her feel better than the eager concern.
Kiana had already introduced herself by name and position. Given the current strength of the League, there is naturally no place in the world that is unaware of it.
Of course, in particularly rural areas, or places that have never been attacked by Honkai Beast, or places that have never been connected to the internet, it is indeed not easy to know about the Alliance.
Even if some major powers secretly smear the alliance and impose corresponding intelligence controls, whether they smear it or restrict its praise, there are indeed very few people in this world who do not know about the alliance.
Even though the World Serpent Organization's base in this world is located in the Sahara Desert, in that land of death, Kiana can still hear the word "Alliance" from the local residents.
Jana wasn't unaware of the Alliance; after all, this island was very close to Changkong City. However, Jana stated that she was a distant relative of the original person in charge of the island. She used to live in a very, very far place, and after the original person in charge passed away, she came to inherit the island.
In other words, this seemingly young and frail girl actually became the owner of the island after the unexpected death of the original person in charge of the island, transforming her from a rural girl from a remote area into a powerful figure.
Of course, her power was limited to this small island.
Kiana was quite surprised by this, but she didn't care too much. Faced with Jana's curiosity, she didn't try to hide anything from her.
For example, when Jana asked Kiana what a High Judge was, Kiana explained that it was a position designed by the Alliance's Saintess (Aurora) for senior executives of the World Serpent Organization merged into the Alliance.
In effect, it was a way of co-opting the World Serpent Organization's cadres and retaining their corresponding rights.
As for Kiana, she is an exception. Even if the League grants her the corresponding rights, it is impossible for them to separate even a little bit of the League's military and political power. Kiana, on the other hand, holds both military and political power.
This situation arose because Freya originally intended to separate the military and political power of the alliance and weaken her own presence. However, in reality, the four governors of the alliance completely disregarded the military and political power, resulting in the final outcome of a unified military and political system.
After all Welt couldn't sit quietly in his office handling government affairs; he preferred to do things personally, to help others, and to protect the world. It was clearly impossible for him to take charge of military and political affairs, and for a genius inventor like Tesla, it was equally unsuitable to handle military and political matters.
It was really worrying to let Theresa take control of the military and politics. Freya originally wanted Theresa to rule, but she was just a human seal. Freya then put Theresa in charge of the Apocalypse Knights, but she couldn't establish any authority within the Apocalypse Knights... Well, for the Valkyrie of the Apocalypse Knights, their impression of Theresa was 'the current Grand Bishop is so cute and adorable'.
There was no way to separate the military and the government; in the end, it was still in Freya's hands, and she could only maintain a unified military and government system.
During the three months she spent in the parallel world, Aurora, who temporarily took over her duties, distributed some of the military and political power to Kiana, Bianca, and others, and also promoted Cocolia and her own friends.
Kiana couldn't explain these situations, but the position of Senior Judge in the Alliance actually corresponds to the captain of the Type-B Valkyrie Squad.
The original senior officers of the World Serpent Organization were only equivalent to the captains of the Type-B Valkyrie, so in terms of position, it was a transfer. However, the World Serpent officers who joined the alliance did not actually gain more power.
As Kiana explained the role of the judge and its corresponding responsibilities, she also curiously inquired about Jana's situation since arriving on the island.
After all, going from a remote rural area to suddenly becoming the owner and person in charge of the island's land ownership is bound to bring a period of discomfort due to the drastic change in status.
Jana smiled gently, indicating that the villagers on the island were very friendly.
Meanwhile, Kiana's investigation team found the underwater cave where the Enhanced Humanoid Honkai Beast had been hiding...
450. After all, that Enhanced Humanoid Honkai Beast was really despicable.
Chen Tianwu, 14 years old, codenamed Night Owl, is an elite agent of the former World Serpent Organization, specializing in information reconnaissance and stealth operations.
He originally had no connection with the so-called underground world or anti- Honkai organizations like the World Serpent Organization.
However, with the rise of Schicksal and the later dominance of the Alliance, the Honkai became known to more and more people.
After learning about the horrors of the Honkai, Chen Tianwu, not wanting his family to suffer any accidents due to random Honkai events, resolutely joined the World Serpent Organization.
Although joining the World Serpent Organization did provide him with a way to prevent his family from suffering accidents, the living conditions within the World Serpent Organization were incredibly harsh.
A few years later, he inexplicably became a senior judge in the alliance. This position was equivalent to a senior officer in the World Serpent Organization, which was a promotion and a raise for him, but he had very little actual power.
After all, the Alliance couldn't possibly grant newly joined former World Serpent organization cadres the authority to command Valkyrie squad and regular troops all at once.
In particular, the Valkyrie squad only obeys the orders of their captain. Even the Knight Commander of the Apocalypse Knights has no authority to overstep his authority and issue orders to them.
Of course, although the Apocalypse Knights and the Valkyrie Squad are two allied armies with different command systems, the Knights of Apocalypse Knights's commanders are all Sealed Rank knights, and they can still command the Valkyrie squad simply by virtue of their personal charisma.
However, this method has nothing to do with the former World Serpent organization executives who have just joined the alliance.
However, Chen Tianwu, who had been a member of the alliance for some time, still witnessed the alliance's formidable strength. Not to mention the greater freedom and autonomy, such as the mercenary Valkyrie squad that were so powerful they were almost cheating, the Knights Order, built as a military collective, also possessed a terrifying power.
If it weren't for a certain Saintess's excessive love for them, and the alliance had truly fought the World Serpent Organization to the death, it's likely that apart from the strongest World Serpent leader, none of the other members of the World Serpent Organization would have survived.
