Chapter 94

"Yes, Kiana."

The commotion on K422 also attracted the attention of others.

The maidservant got off the carriage carrying a long box and ran to K422's side.

K422 calmly took out the Black Abyss White Flower from the long box, appearing very careful.

"Everyone step back... pull Ms. Cocolia away, and these little ones too."

Seeing the six or seven-year-old girls rushing over to protect their mother, K422 smiled and had the Propaganda Department pull them away.

Then he gently tapped the grass with the tip of the Black Abyss White Flower spear.

Black mist rose from the area where the lance tip barely touched the ground, and the weeds on the grass turned black and decomposed into particles of black mist.

After the weeds disappeared, the ground began to turn black.

At this moment, K422 had already retreated to the side, holding the Black Abyss White Flower.

Everyone was wondering what K422 was doing.

The ground began to decompose rapidly into black mist. K422 closed his eyes and used his power to control Honkai Energy to limit the area of decomposition.

Under her control, the decomposing power of the Black Abyss White Flower extended straight downwards, breaking down countless soil and rocks into particles.

"Hmm, I knew I wasn't wrong. I seem to be able to use the power of the Sixth Herrscher, but it feels like I'm still lacking something compared to Black Abyss White Flower..."

K422 is starting to lose track of what's wrong with her body.

When the ambush of the Honkai Beast ended, K422 noticed the prying eyes and realized at the same time that she seemed to be able to use electromagnetic power, which should also be some kind of Herrscher power.

Now, he has only used the power of the Black Abyss White Flower as a trigger to confirm that he can manipulate this power of death from a distance and can also convert his own Honkai Energy into the power of death.

In other words, he possesses the power corresponding to the Sixth Divine Key: Black Abyss White Flower.

"Am I about to gather the power of all the Herrscher? What will appear then? A dragon? Or the God of Herrscher?"

Will we also have a Red Herrscher God, a Blue Herrscher God... and change the color of their hair too? But it feels like there aren't enough colors.

According to the information found in the ruins, the Previous Civilization had thirteen types of Divine Key, which correspond to thirteen Herrscher. However, there should have been a fourteenth Herrscher, and the Previous Civilization perished at the hands of this fourteenth Herrscher; otherwise, the Previous Civilization would not have been destroyed.

There should be at least thirteen colors corresponding to the thirteen Herrscher.

"Alright, it's connected!"

When possessing the Black Abyss White Flower, the power of death is like an extension of one's hands and feet.

K422 easily used the power of death to create a downward channel on the ground.

"Alright, anyone want to come down with me?"

"Kiana, let's wait for Team Lewis to arrive."

"We have already had the Cocolia Orphanage sealed off."

From the moment Cocolia knelt down and K422 took out the Black Abyss White Flower, the situation began to develop in a strange direction.

A struggle flashed across Cocolia's face, but she ultimately collapsed helplessly to the ground.

There was nothing shady in the lab, and in fact, she hadn't conducted any human experiments; at least for now, she was still refining her research theories.

The children she adopted were survivors of the Second Eruption War and possessed high Honkai resistance. Cocolia wanted to research Honkai resistance so that her children could survive the Great Honkai 3rd.

No one can be sure how severe the Honkai will become in the future.

Cocolia just wanted her children to survive.

The children who were adopted were taken away because Cocolia felt that such a life was more suitable for them, which is why she let those children leave.

But now, it's all over.

The Propaganda Department stopped K422 from charging into enemy lines alone.

Not long after, Lewis's team appeared without Lewis.

As for Lewis, she desperately needs to rest.

With the assistance of Lewis's team, K422 finally entered the underground laboratory through the passage created by the power of death.

Lewis's team, who entered the lab first, have already identified the lab's research project after searching it.

"Report, Kiana, this appears to be a research project being conducted by this orphanage."

K422 took the research plan handed to her by the Valkyrie and flipped through its contents.

"I see. Her research is still in the theoretical stage, allowing the body to fully adapt to Honkai Energy?"

As a studious child, K422 naturally knew that Honkai Energy could corrode normal human bodies. Even if one possessed Honkai Energy resistance, one could resist the erosion of Honkai Energy and even manipulate it to some extent.

However, the effect of Honkai Energy resistance is always limited, and in the end, the body will still be destroyed by the ever-changing Honkai Energy.

This is why the Valkyrie of Schicksal's lifespan is significantly shortened after undergoing the modification surgery.

Cocolia's experiment aims to find a way to make the body fully adapt to Honkai Energy. If the experiment succeeds, she will be able to create new humans who are fully adapted to Honkai Energy.

"So, the New Human Project?"

Since human trials have not yet been conducted, K422's aversion to Cocolia is naturally reduced.

If I can't beat Otto, surely Cocolia?

"Have you found a way out? Make arrangements; I'd like to speak with Ms. Cocolia."

K422 was very curious about why Cocolia was conducting this kind of experiment.

Half an hour later, in Cocolia's room, K422, whose role had been reversed, curiously flipped through a photo album.

The album is full of photos of Cocolia and her children.

She could tell from the gentle expression on Cocolia's face in the photos that Cocolia truly loved those children.

"Kiana..."

Cocolia, whose hands were handcuffed with metal shackles, had given up resisting.

Her children have now all rushed back to their rooms and are being looked after by the Valkyrie of Lewis's squad.

Unless Gray Serpent and Welt come to her rescue, she has no chance of turning the tables.

K422 gestured for Cocolia to sit down next to him, then took out his communicator and contacted the person he least wanted to contact.

K422 felt somewhat displeased upon seeing the blond man appear on the communication screen.

"Grandfather..."

"..."

Upon hearing K422 call him "grandpa," Otto's expression turned sour.

He didn't force K422 to call him grandpa, so why was he staring at him like he was the murderer of his mother? If it's so hard to say, then don't say it.

"My lovely Kiana, what made you contact me?"

"I want to know what exactly this artificial Stigmata that Valkyrie use to control Honkai Energy is all about? I think you wouldn't mind telling me."

K422's impression of the Valkyrie modification surgery was naturally the implantation of artificial Stigmata and the injection of Honkai Energy.

In reality, she knew nothing about the specific process or what artificial Stigmata were.

The only one in Schicksal who could answer her question Grand Bishop of Schicksal, who truly knew what the Valkyrie modification surgery was all about.

Even the researchers who performed the Valkyrie modification surgery simply operated the experimental machines in a routine manner.

"My lovely Kiana is really eager to learn." Otto was naturally taken aback for a moment.

He genuinely didn't understand why K422 wanted to know this, since the Valkyrie modification surgery was the core of the Schicksal, and even members of the Kaslana Family and Schariac Family might not know the real process.

"I'd really like to know, what is Honkai Antibody?"

Everyone only knew about Honkai Energy resistance, but K422 saw the term Honkai Antibody in Cocolia's experimental plan.

She also pointed out that most of the children in the orphanage have Honkai Antibody, which is obviously due to the influence of the Second Eruption War. Therefore, if antibodies can be cultivated in large quantities to make the human body fully adapt to Honkai Energy, even if Honkai Energy fills the whole world in the future, the new humans she creates can survive.

"I see. According to Liv's report, the Cocolia you captured really did find a good research subject. No wonder you were able to research the Honkai Antibody."

"..."

Clearly, the Schicksal's public statements are riddled with lies.

There are very few organizations Honkai Energy, so naturally, outsiders can only believe whatever Schicksal says.

But what K422 was most unhappy about was that the maid who stayed by her side was Otto's person.

"Since my lovely Kiana is so eager to know the important secrets of Schicksal, what are you willing to offer in exchange?"

"Your Excellency, state your request."

"... My request? How could I possibly make a request of my lovely Kiana? I just hope that my lovely Kiana will hand over that female scientist to me."

Otto was naturally interested in the Cocolia that Liv had reported.

He didn't believe that Cocolia and the other researchers could research the Honkai Antibody.

"If I hand Cocolia over to you, you'll tell me everything?"

"Of course, you know I always keep my promises."

"But I refuse!"

After K422 finished speaking, he turned off the communication.

What are you pretending for? You just won't tell me the real secret of Valkyrie. If you don't know, can't I find out myself?

Theresa has the same access rights, so why would she be afraid that she can't access Schicksal's database?

Uh, I really can't find out.

Clearly, the Valkyrie's true secret is more important than she imagined.

At the same time, I felt that Theresa was a bit embarrassed, as the first in line to the throne knew nothing about it!

101. Her analysis is reasonable and well-founded; what does it have to do with interrupting?

Otto was naturally dumbfounded after being rejected.

"My lovely Kiana, she's really quite willful."

At the same time, restrict Theresa's access by half again.

He felt that someone had been using Theresa's privileges to look up things everywhere lately, and he figured it was probably the studious K422 who was doing it.

Theresa, who went to see the real Kiana, was unaware that her already limited access had been blocked once again.

Despite being S-rank Valkyrie, the head of the Apocalypse family, and the first in line to succeed the Grand Bishop, her authority is almost equivalent to that of A-rank Valkyrie.

In fact, what Schicksal publicly reveals is only half true and half false.

But it's definitely not as the outside world knows, that one can become Valkyrie simply by injecting Honkai Energy.

After all, the consequence of doing this is that the Honkai Antibody in the body can no longer resist Honkai Energy, the body Honkai Energy, and one will either die on the spot or become Deadman.

Many organizations have used the information revealed by Schicksal to their own destruction.

It should be noted that the ones maintaining Schicksal's transcendent status are precisely those Valkyrie whom he treats as expendable resources.

Only the Schicksal can create Valkyrie.

But only Otto Apocalypse knew how to create the Valkyrie.

However, Otto really didn't expect that anyone could investigate the Honkai Antibody to this extent.

"Stigmata? It seems that there should be a Stigmata holder by that woman's side."

Only those who possess the Stigmata have Honkai Antibody that are easily observed.

Otto narrowed his eyes.

He naturally wanted to get his hands on Cocolia, and then he could do whatever he wanted with her, depending on his mood.

If Cocolia is sensible, he wouldn't mind raising Cocolia and having Cocolia do his Valkyrie research.

The Valkyrie in recent years have indeed become much weaker compared to those from the Second Eruption War.

Otto doesn't mind handing this project over to Schicksal's researchers. As for how many people will apply to use the Valkyrie as a test subject, we'll see then.
