"Are you the Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy? I am Theresa Apocalypse. Siegfried and Kiana are on your ship, right? Then I'll make this quick. I'll hold off the pursuing Schicksal Floating Battleships. You don't need to send anyone to save me. And most importantly, stop that big idiot Siegfried..."
Siegfried was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Welt.
Welt nodded.
"This is indeed a recorded message from Theresa Apocalypse. She is Bishop Otto's only heir. If we go to rescue her now, it will confirm her collusion with the Anti-Entropy organization. Her current actions can still be excused as assisting your escape. Compared to the charge of colluding with Anti-Entropy, the charge of covering for a stain on the Kaslana Family will not cause her too much trouble."
Welt continued, regardless of whether Siegfried understood. "You can go save her, but what about the clone? You rescued her from Schicksal, didn't you hope she wouldn't be subjected to inhumane experiments?"
"Are you not afraid that Anti-Entropy will experiment on her one day if you leave her with them? Also... can you take off that Humo costume?"
Only then did Siegfried notice that he had only taken off the Humo mascot costume's headgear and was still wearing the suit with extremely high Honkai Energy resistance.
"...I understand."
However, what Welt said made a lot of sense.
Siegfried couldn't possibly leave his daughter's clone with Anti-Entropy.
If he could, he would want to take his daughter and flee to a place no one could find them.
But now, what he had found was not his daughter, but a clone of his daughter.
Siegfried was very worried about his daughter's safety.
"I want to see the clone."
"I will arrange it. My people are currently operating on her to remove the signal transmitter inside her."
Welt also had a headache. Otto had completely outmaneuvered them this time.
Although he himself was suspected of playing along with the plan, he had failed to achieve the goal of rescuing the real Kiana, and he couldn't even buy Siegfried an extra half hour.
If not for Theresa's righteous assistance, several of Anti-Entropy's secret bases would have been destroyed by Schicksal this time.
Now, Anti-Entropy's Floating Battleship was rapidly disengaging from the battlefield before Schicksal's encirclement could form.
After destroying the signal transmitter in the clone Siegfried had rescued, Schicksal's Floating Battleship fleet lost track of Siegfried and Welt.
Theresa, who was completely surrounded by a group of Valkyries, finally chose to surrender.
Afterward, she was restrained by the Valkyries and taken back to Schicksal Headquarters.
However, neither the Anti-Entropy organization, Siegfried, nor Theresa knew the situation at Schicksal Headquarters at this time.
Otto, who had initially worn a 'plan accomplished' expression, was also annoyed by Theresa's actions.
Assisting the Anti-Entropy organization to escape was a very serious offense.
Especially since Schicksal Headquarters had been attacked, Anti-Entropy bore at least half the responsibility.
Otto did not want Theresa's reputation to be harmed in the slightest.
To this end, he had to minimize the negative impact of this operation.
Otto had already devised a new Floating Island defense system. This time, when Schicksal Headquarters' Nine Floating Islands were attacked, the defense system was breached from the inside by Welt, which naturally caused unease among many Valkyries.
The new defense system not only possessed extremely strong external defense capabilities but also comparable internal defense capabilities.
Furthermore, for the staff and Valkyries who were injured or killed by the aftermath of the battle, Otto had already planned for K422 to conduct charity activities in various welfare communities after she inherited the name Apocalypse.
Most importantly, K422 becoming a Valkyrie would be the best propaganda topic for the other Valkyries.
The attack on Schicksal Headquarters this time was because the enemy forces, led by the Anti-Entropy organization, were targeting her as the future strongest Valkyrie.
Her appearance meant that all the enemy's schemes and tricks had failed.
It officially declared that the Schicksal organization had won this battle.
"..."
Otto, after leaving the giant Floating Battleship with K422, had also prepared a new outfit for her.
The style of the dress was reminiscent of the clerical attire from Schicksal's religious era.
A pure white robe and a dignified gown, named Song of Honor.
Originally, she wouldn't have been able to wear it, as judging by the size, it should have been prepared by Bishop Otto for Theresa. However, because she needed to be promoted urgently, it was specially altered to be a size smaller.
When K422 untied her braided hair and put on this gown, it was impossible not to be reminded of the celebrated Saintess, Cecilia.
Of course, Cecilia had never worn such a dress, but when K422 wore it, she exuded a sacred aura reminiscent of Cecilia.
However, Otto saw the shadow of someone else on K422.
After all, the Kaslana Family's genetic traits on K422 were too obvious.
Her appearance in such a grand outfit within the Floating Island to comfort the injured Valkyries also boosted their morale.
They knew that Schicksal Headquarters would be attacked this time because hostile forces, led by the Anti-Entropy organization, had targeted her as the future strongest Valkyrie.
Her appearance meant that all the enemies' plots and schemes had fallen through.
It officially declared that the Schicksal organization had won this battle.
"..."
K422 couldn't refuse Otto's arrangements, so she had to wear those flimsy dresses everywhere.
Her mission was to let more people see her, to see that she had already become a Valkyrie... therefore, Bishop Otto didn't forbid her from using her monstrous strength.
K422 used this strength to assist the Valkyries and staff in rescue operations.
When they discovered she could lift a metal frame that eighteen or nineteen adult men couldn't, all the Valkyries believed she would soon become Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie.
Otto tossed her into a crowded area and left on his own, not knowing what he was up to.
K422 could only sigh and help with the rescue.
This dress was indeed beautiful, but she felt unaccustomed to wearing it.
Otto had prepared many pretty dresses for her before, but she still preferred wearing casual pants, and of course, training uniforms that were easy to move in during daily training.
Even when the little maids forcefully put her in a dress, she would add bloomers or safety shorts underneath.
But this gorgeous, sacred-feeling dress had a small red dress underneath the pure white outer layer.
The skirt was very short, exposing a lot of her thighs.
It made her feel very insecure.
However, this outfit did boost morale.
Many Valkyries were caught in areas where the floating island collapsed during its descent, and now many people were buried under the rubble.
Fortunately, after becoming a Valkyrie, their vitality was extremely tenacious. Only a few Valkyries with extremely bad luck had their bodies pierced by rebar and died from excessive blood loss.
After half a day of rescue activities, staff and senior researchers who had evacuated before the battle began to return.
This included the propaganda department of the Schicksal organization.
Yes, the propaganda department people found her.
"Kiana, would you be interested in filming an MV? I think you look perfect for debuting right now."
MV actually means music video.
The Schicksal propaganda department believed she would be a hit if she debuted looking like this.
The propaganda department had approached Cecilia before, but Cecilia had refused at the time.
Under Otto's command, the propaganda department, which had always promoted K422's tragic persona, saw K422 for the first time.
However, after seeing K422 dressed in Song of Honor, they genuinely believed she would be a hit. If she filmed an MV or another type of promotional short film, she would definitely become famous worldwide.
"Kiana, we're serious. With your current level of cuteness, just singing a song and dancing, regardless of whether the singing is off-key or the dancing is good, you'll definitely be popular! You can just mumble and babble to cover up lyrics you can't remember!"
"..."
Honestly, she really wanted to refuse.
However, Otto, who was hiding, sent her a message at this moment.
"Cooperate with the propaganda department's activities, and you can keep all the profits. Even if you really debut as a singer, you can do as you please. As long as you can win against Black Abyss White Flower in a month, I'll give you the freedom you desire from now on."
"..."
K422 dared to bet that Bishop Otto was definitely smirking right now.
As for freedom, in her opinion, it was a joke.
As long as Bishop Otto didn't plan on letting True Kiana go, she would never have true freedom.
Here's a message about the book going on sale.
I'm here to post a message about the book going on sale. I'm notifying everyone that the book will be available tomorrow morning at ten, but I usually update after noon, so... you understand.
This is my seventh signed novel on Shuke, and my fourth to be put on sale.
Two novels were signed but not put on sale, and one failed before it even went on sale. As you know, I'm an old author; I'm either failing or on the road to failure (covers face).
I'm not good at choosing themes, yet I like to have new ideas, and I especially like to court disaster in the Infinite Anime Crossover genre.
Before coming to Shuke, my representative work was "Oriental Pale Transmission."
And my current representative work is "About Me Joining an Evil Organization."
The "Evil Organization" book was quite lucky; the theme was chosen just right. However, something unexpected happened in the later stages, and the plot kind of collapsed (sigh). After all, in the original outline, Platinum was the heroine (but you know, little sister Miller is too young for that).
And this book, "I'm a Saintess in Schicksal," is naturally a "Honkai Impact 3rd" fanfiction that I've always wanted to write.
After all, I really like K423!
Surprise!
It's not Mei, nor is it Bronya, but Kiana.
Even when K423 became the Queen, I still liked the dazed and clumsy K423. Of course, when Celestial Ranger awakened and K423 became an older sister, it gave me the feeling of a father watching his daughter grow up.
However, I still prefer the innocent, happy, and carefree K423.
When it comes to messages about books going on sale, they usually involve bonus updates.
I won't mention that for now. After the book goes on sale, I will definitely add more updates for a while. I won't talk about bonus updates for now.
I just hope you can continue to support me.
By the way, I originally intended to write about the Captain, but somehow it turned into K422.
I feel like some mysterious force pushed me to do this.
51. It's me, it's me, it's me!
Although K422 wasn't interested in debuting as an idol, Bishop Otto's orders were impossible to disobey.
Of course, Bishop Otto also offered generous terms: all the profits from the promotion would go to her.
K422 curiously inquired about the promotional profits of the previous few Schariac Saintesses. Well, it was just curiosity.
Even though her mother refused such activities, it seemed the past Schariac Saintesses were quite enthusiastic about this kind of endeavor.
The head of the publicity department didn't hide anything and truthfully stated the approximate income of the Saintess from the generation before last and the one before that.
In an era when multimedia wasn't particularly developed, the income of the Saintess from the generation before last and the one before that could support the operation of an entire branch.
"..."
Yes, their personal income, after deducting taxes, could support a branch that had multiple research institutes and dozens of orphanages under its wing.
K422 looked at the ceiling, which was missing several pieces, and fell silent.
Not all past Schariac Saintesses were like her mother, Cecilia, who held the title of the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal.
In terms of looks, her mother wasn't inferior to anyone else in the Schariac family.
Her mother had refused hundreds of millions.
No wonder the current head of the Schariac family wanted her to return to the Schariac family to be the Saintess.
Even debuting alongside the current Saintess candidate as a dual-Saintess unit would have been incredibly profitable.
After all, she had too many selling points for promotion, whether it was her identity as the daughter of a previous Saintess or her potential to become the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal in the future
