She already guessed what had happened.
"How's Sky City doing? And... where's Mei?"
"The crisis there has been resolved, no civilians were harmed, and the Valkyries are cleaning up the mess."
Durandal replied simply, quietly reading a book in her hands.
"Raiden Mei has also joined up with her companions and left Sky City."
"(Mei...Thank goodness, Mei is alright)"
"You are currently at the Destiny North Africa experimental base. Is there anything else you wish to ask?"
“Durandal, I’ve long anticipated that one day I would have to face you.”
"Now that you're mentally prepared, things will be much easier from here on out. If there are no other problems, just lie still and don't move. You need to rest now."
Durandal appeared to have no hostility whatsoever.
But this only made Kiana more vigilant.
Despite trying to appear calm, Kiana knew all too well that the current situation was the worst possible scenario.
Kiana tried to call out to Fu Hua in her heart, but only silence answered her.
She closed her eyes and tried to communicate with her, but the voice still did not appear.
Having used too much power to suppress Sirin, Fu Hua is probably now in a dormant state!
She recalled Fu Hua's last words, and the familiar sense of helplessness she felt when she stepped into Sky City three months ago enveloped her once again.
But now, she is no longer the Kiana she once was.
(It seems I can only rely on myself.)
(With the power of the Herrscher, it should be possible....)
"I told you, you need to rest now."
"what?!"
Kiana's surprised face was reflected in her sapphire-like pupils, while Durandal, who had moved closer to her, stared sharply at the girl who was trying to escape.
"This laboratory is a thousand meters below the surface; you can't escape."
(She found out? Why...)
"Don't be confused, your thoughts are easy to see."
"Your body is covered in wounds and is still being eroded by the Herrscher core. Even when you were unconscious just now, you were constantly emitting Honkai energy."
"Whether you have done it before or not, at least right now you cannot control the power within you."
"If you leave here, you'll become a ticking time bomb."
"It seems you understood what I said, so you should know what to do."
After calmly recounting the current situation, Durandal left the ward.
This also caused Kiana to fall into a deep thought.
outside the ward.
"Bishop, she's awake. It's strange, despite using the power of the Herrscher repeatedly, the Honkai energy within her keeps increasing."
"According to the satellite reconnaissance of the sky above Sky Dome City, the Honkai energy generated after the engine exploded did not spread, but disappeared without a trace."
"It is obvious that the Herrscher of the Void absorbed that energy, and she is growing as expected."
"Back to the main topic, now that she's awake, let's begin the experiment immediately."
Otto's words immediately aroused everyone's suspicion and indignation.
An experiment...what experiment?!
This was only just after the conspiracy of the World Serpent in Sky City was quelled!
Otto is going to capture Kiana, the greatest contributor, and use her for experiments?!
Even Durandal hesitated.
"Starting now? Isn't that a bit too hasty? She still harbors strong hostility towards Destiny."
“I don’t think there’s any way to make her trust in fate again after what she’s been through.”
Otto's voice still carried an air of arrogance and laughter.
"On the contrary, in my opinion, her current state allows her to demonstrate the power I hope to see."
[Raiden Mei: This time... I'll protect you!!]
Shen He: Durandal is so strong... no wonder she's the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal...
[March 7th: Kiana just saved Sky City!! She's a great hero!!]
[March 7th: So you just captured her and used her for experiments?!]
Tesla: This is just Otto's style.
Durandal: The bishop must have his reasons.
[Silver Wolf: But with the power of the Herrscher of the Void, escaping from Durandal shouldn't be too difficult, right?]
Just as everyone had guessed.
Kiana quickly seized the opportunity when Durandal brought her to the ground, intending to use the chance to escape!
But only for a fleeting moment when the intention was revealed.
It was interrupted by Durandal's attack!
"If you're so eager to leave, then don't do it that way."
"Defeat me like a warrior, then leave with dignity."
As Durandal finished speaking, the shackles binding Kiana's hands came off, and she fell onto the sand.
But soon.
Kiana then realized the enormous gap between her and Durandal, a chasm-like divide.
Even the Kaslana family's gun-fu is not as refined as Durandal's!
After undergoing a bizarre experiment involving fighting a monster.
Durandal brought Kiana back to the base.
The two remained silent throughout the journey.
But once back at the base, Kiana could no longer contain the myriad emotions swirling within her!
"Why...."
“When I was still in St. Freya, I heard many stories about you, and everyone regarded you as a hero.”
"The title of the strongest S-class Valkyrie in Destiny is my aspiration and the goal I once pursued."
"But...you chose to side with Otto!"
Kiana's emotions grew increasingly agitated.
And everything that was refuted is exactly the question that many extraordinary people in front of the screen want to ask!
"Do you know the truth about all of this?! Do you know the experiments I went through? Do you know what that person did?!"
"Why... you're so strong! You're not a bad person!"
Why are you helping Destiny?!
Tesla: Well said!
[Xiangling: Kiana stood up for herself this time!]
Kiana: Hmph! I've always been tough, okay?!
Paimon: Yeah! Durandal is a really good person, Otto is a really bad person! Why follow Otto...?
[Luminous: Ahem... The definitions of good and bad people aren't that simple, Paimon.]
Durandal: The bishop isn't exactly a good person, and neither am I. It's just that Destiny needs Otto, and humanity needs Destiny.
Theresa:
And in the picture.
Just like Durandal's answer.
"If there is no destiny, who will protect the billions of people on this planet from the Honkai?"
“You were once the Valkyrie of Destiny, so you should know this very well.”
"There is no absolute good or evil, right or wrong in this world, only mission."
"And I am only fighting for my own mission."
Suddenly.
Kiana was stunned by Durandal's words.
But at that very moment!
boom--! ! !
Several muffled thuds came from overhead! The alarm blared instantly!
"Lady Durandal! The base has been attacked! It's the World Serpent's mech force!"
moment!
Even louder explosions followed one after another!
The sky is full of smoke and dust!
Kiana also took advantage of the chaos to escape the room!
at this time!
It was World Serpent's forces that launched an attack on Destiny's North African base!
And the goal... is none other than the Herrscher of the Void! Kiana!
In a desolate city.
Hundreds of mechs traversed the weathered streets.
Following the trail of its prey.
Amidst the torrent of steel, Kevin stood like a rock atop the ruins.
"Keep Durandal occupied, I, the Herrscher of the Void, will take care of things."
With Kevin giving the order.
The World Serpent's forces quickly sprang into action.
Asking for flowers
Kevin, on the other hand, instantly located the Herrscher aura on Kiana!
In just a moment, he blocked Kiana's path!
It was at this moment that...
Fu Hua's consciousness suddenly appeared, buying Kiana time to escape.
And Kevin's face.
This old friend from 50,000 years ago knew each other inside and out.
Fu Hua also went all out without holding back!
The battle quickly came to an end.
In Yu Duchen's illusion.
"Hua, your last move was indeed very strong, but you no longer have enough power to support it."
"We could have witnessed together the day when humanity triumphed over the Honkai."
