I Am a Saintess at Schicksal Chapter 44

Everyone even wished for the patrolling Floating Battleships of the Schicksal headquarters to leave.

Who would have thought that the real Kiana would be loitering above the Schicksal headquarters every day? Even she had seen the patrolling Floating Battleships several times.

"Lord Bishop, since you're telling me such a secret, do you intend to silence me?"

K422 asked calmly.

However, Otto's answer surprised her.

"Silence you? How could I, my dear little princess? The more you know, the deeper you fall. If it were you... you wouldn't just abandon K423, would you?"

"..."

"As long as the real Kiana is still in my hands, you will choose to compromise. A Honkai Killer who can obey me, how could I refuse?"

This was also why Otto didn't choose to destroy her immediately, even though he couldn't control her through brainwashing or bombs.

The more emotional the target, the easier they were to manipulate.

"In fact, your mental link range is only five hundred kilometers, but I've specifically set up a satellite network for you. As long as you spend the night in a specially designed room, I can still capture the signal you emit even if K423 is on the other side of the Earth."

K422 wasn't surprised that Bishop Otto could detect her range.

She only sighed at her own weakness.

Wasn't she also trapped in a closed cage, with all her struggles and resistance merely dancing in Otto's palm?

"What does Lord Bishop want?"

Since she had chosen to surrender, K422 could only obediently accept Bishop Otto's judgment.

Seeing K422 express her attitude, Otto smiled.

"Of course, it's business as usual. My dear little princess, don't forget to win the Sixth Divine Key: Black Abyss White Flower for me. Of course, you must keep this room a secret. In exchange, I can let you see Kiana."

"Then... as Lord Bishop wishes."

K422 lowered her proud head, completely submitting to Bishop Otto.

There was no helping it; she couldn't possibly kill him at this point.

"How cute. I like you when you're so sensible. You can continue to be my puppet princess. I can buy you any clothes you like or any games you want."

Undoubtedly, Otto had stated his demands.

As the victor, he had the right to do so.

"Will I continue to use the name Kiana Kaslana?"

"I'm thinking that name might not suit you. Perhaps you should have the name Kiana Apocalypse."

As Otto spoke, he took a step forward but quickly retracted his foot, turning to discuss this matter.

Honestly, she preferred the name Kiana Schariac.

"Okay."

But she had no right to refuse.

She felt so stifled.

She could only say that she had just become a Valkyrie and hadn't fully adapted to her current body.

Otherwise, even if she surrendered, she would have fought first before surrendering.

If she had surrendered when they were evenly matched, even as the loser, her treatment wouldn't have been this bad.

"I will have Amber negotiate. If it passes, you will be my granddaughter."

"...Are you that eager to be a grandfather?"

Facing her disgruntled reply, Otto was clearly taken aback for a moment.

"What, are you refusing?"

"No, how could I refuse? With Lord Bishop backing me, what does it matter if I'm just a puppet princess?"

For K422, these terms weren't bad.

In fact, if Otto were to fall one day, she and Aunt Theresa would both have inheritance rights to the Grand Bishop position.

Of course, she would only be the second in line.

The generous terms she couldn't refuse, coupled with her position as the loser, and the fact that Bishop Otto held the real Kiana, naturally made her utterly defeated and unconvinced.

She would definitely get her revenge someday.

When that time came, she would take Otto's position as Grand Bishop, live in his house, play his games, sleep in his bed, and have his women... well, if he had any women.

"Since that's the case, then your rebellion ends here."

"Okay, Grandpa. Got it, Grandpa."

K422 shrugged. She was still surrendering with her hands up, anyway.

Otto probably didn't expect her to be so straightforward, making him feel like he could have made a few more demands.

"You should know what my orders will be from now on..."

"Absolute obedience. If you tell me to kill or set fires, I won't hold back and save anyone. If you tell me to steal, I won't climb over walls to steal people!"

"..."

Otto covered his head, feeling incredibly helpless at K422's response.

It was clear he knew K422 was deliberately being difficult.

For the precocious and proud K422, this defeat must have been incredibly frustrating.

Of course, K422 was indeed very frustrated.

But she wasn't just cursing Otto in her mind; she was also cursing Welt Yang.

After all, it was he who said that True Kiana was hidden by Bishop Otto on the Floating Island.

Hidden my ass!

She could search the entire Floating Island upside down and still not find her.

"So, Grandpa, can I see Kiana?"

"Of course. It's something I promised. Before that, you need to return the Black Abyss White Flower."

K422 then picked up the Black Abyss White Flower and handed it to Otto.

But she also noticed that he was unwilling to get close to her.

This was clearly a new ability she had gained after becoming a Valkyrie.

K422 recalled how she defeated Amber, and perhaps it was because of this ability that she had been able to defeat Amber so easily.

"I know you're curious. This is the anti-Honkai wave emanating from the Schariac Holy Blood within you. It won't affect your special physique or the Honkai Energy you possess, but it can reduce the intensity of Honkai Energy within a ten-meter radius. In other words... enemies with Honkai Energy will lose at least half of their combat power in front of you."

What a double standard for an anti-Honkai wave.

A typical "I can do it, but you can't" ideology.

Yeah, she liked it.

Thinking this, her eyes sparkled.

"My dear little princess, you can't defeat me with just the anti-Honkai wave, nor can you rescue the real Kiana from the Floating Battleship. Most of the Valkyrie units on board are equipped with firearms; your ability only works on Honkai Energy."

"..."

So, even if she rushed onto the Floating Battleship, she wouldn't have a great chance of winning.

Tsk.

"Your Holy Blood is currently in a constantly active state. I'll teach you how to control it and suppress the anti-Honkai wave."

After obtaining the new version of Holy Blood, Otto couldn't resist researching it.

It was a shame that the anti-Honkai wave was too strong, even disabling his Mimic Feather of Dust. Otherwise, he could have approached the First Herrscher and experimented with this secret weapon that could kill Herrschers on her.

Of course, there would be other opportunities.

48. The more inflated like a pufferfish, the better.

She was talented and learned quickly. Coupled with Otto's research on Holy Blood, she soon mastered a method to calm the Holy Blood.

Afterward, Otto took her aboard the massive Floating Battleship.

Meanwhile, the pursuit of Anti-Entropy's Floating Battleship had already begun.

However, due to the tenacious resistance of the Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader and Siegfried, the Anti-Entropy Floating Battleship had not sustained significant damage.

She followed behind Otto and arrived at the laboratory.

Then, they entered the corridor from another exit of the laboratory.

Finally, they stopped in front of a sealed room.

She glanced at Otto. At this moment, Otto's attention was clearly focused on the pursuit.

As for the remnants within the Floating Island, they had been wiped out by the Valkyrie forces, suffering heavy casualties. Simultaneously, the Valkyrie units air-dropped to the ground began destroying the enemy's tank units.

In the face of Valkyrie units equipped with artificial stigmata and Honkai Energy weapons.

The tanks' heavy armor became mere decorations.

The enemy fought back fiercely, also causing quite a few casualties.

Although the results of this operation were quite good, and his initial objectives had all been achieved.

It was a pity that the Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader was too good at escaping, and the World Serpent organization was too good at hiding.

However, even if the Anti-Entropy organization managed to escape this time, they would surely be severely weakened.

Thinking this, Otto glanced at K422. Everything was proceeding according to his plan.

Seeing that Otto had no intention of stopping her from meeting True Kiana, K422 knew very well that once she met True Kiana, she would inevitably be forced to submit to Otto because True Kiana was in his hands.

Of course, even without meeting True Kiana, Otto had other ways to make her comply.

So, she decided to meet her.

She opened the door.

Otto had already unlocked the door.

The arrangement of the sealed room was ordinary. While it couldn't be called feminine, it had all the necessary furniture.

Like most Valkyries' rooms, this one had an independent bathroom, toilet, and dressing room.

Even if she confirmed the room's layout through consciousness space with True Kiana, she couldn't find any flaws with it.

K422 finally understood Otto's reasons for changing her room so many times.

It seemed to be to prevent Aunt Theresa and others from pinpointing her location, but in reality, it was to implant an impression of the room's layout into her.

True Kiana had always believed she was in Schicksal headquarters.

But in reality, besides the sealed space she was in, the entire corridor outside and the laboratory serving as the entrance and exit were all decorated by Otto in the style of Schicksal headquarters.

As soon as K422 entered the room, she saw True Kiana curled up in the corner, hugging her knees with her face buried in them.

Small, helpless, lonely...

She really wanted to rescue True Kiana from here.

But she couldn't rely on Siegfried or Welt.

On the way here, Otto hadn't hidden the current situation of Anti-Entropy.

After all, he had specifically released a delicious bait this time: a clone implanted with the Second Herrscher's core.

Welt wouldn't abandon such a clone, and Siegfried certainly wouldn't abandon a clone of his own daughter.

And before Anti-Entropy discovered the tracking device implanted in K423, Anti-Entropy, whose Floating Battleship's performance was far inferior to Schicksal's, had to bear the cost of attacking Schicksal.

Schicksal's counterattack had only just begun.

After learning of Otto's subsequent plans, K422 had no intention of ruining his fun.

Even if he really managed to kill Siegfried and Welt, he wouldn't actually kill K423, so she took it in stride.
