I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

When Mei saw Sieg fly up to Kiana, she stepped aside, letting the father and daughter have a proper talk; perhaps that was the best course of action.

After all, there are many things that Siegfried and Kiana need to talk about properly so that Kiana can move on.

With Siegfried's arrival, it was naturally impossible for him to be the only one to arrive.

Jill looked in a certain direction, where a rumbling sound could be heard. The source of such a sound was probably the Artemis and the Nidhogg.

The people from [Azure Dragon] and [Dragon Fang] also arrived.

However, let's send them to support and bring back those three guys who play with squeeze drives first.

Jill turned on the communicator and connected to the shared channel of [Azure Dragon] and [Dragon Fang].

"This is Gilgamesh... Before you come to my coordinates, go and pick up the people. Randolph and Gross are... Kusanagi is... Um, thank you all. Afterwards, please proceed to my location to meet up—"

Gilles' eyes gleamed. "I've reached my limit with Otto, and..." Gilles glanced in the direction of Siegfried and Kiana, then thought of the Valkyrie who had been so kind to her back then...

He pursed his lips. "No matter what, we can't let that child remain imprisoned within Destiny any longer."

Jill slowly raised her hand and pressed it to her forehead. "Have Theresa come over and communicate with me. She needs to hear what I'm about to say."

"Yes." The communications officer responded and quickly left, while Jill waited patiently.

After a moment, a familiar voice rang out, "Gil, how is Wendy? How is the Second Herrscher? Are there any casualties on your side? Are Kiana and the others alright?"

"The Second Herrscher is fine. I destroyed her connection to the Honkai. Although she can still use the power of a Herrscher, she no longer has that destructive will. Wendy, Gross, and Randolph are together; you should be able to see them soon. Finally, there's Kiana..."

Gilles paused for a moment, then said, "Siegfried is here too. He and his daughter are having a heart-to-heart talk. There's no problem."

Chapter 223 Attacking the Heavenly Mandate!

"Siegfried... has he finally come?" Theresa said through gritted teeth, but Jill could tell that there was some relief in Theresa's heart.

“Of course, after all, we’re about to do something big, Theresa. Do you remember what I told you about Kiana?” Jill said with a slightly relaxed tone. “It’s about time we got started.”

Theresa's tone turned serious. "Do you know what we're facing?"

"An organization with a history of over a thousand years, an organization with one of the world's most rich and diverse heritages."

Jill squinted. "Hey, aren't you underestimating me? Do you think the research capabilities of the [Babylon Gate] are inferior to those of Schicksal's research institute? Do you think my [Dragon Fang], [Azure Dragon], and [Sharp Blade] are not as good as Schicksal's Valkyrie forces? Or is my [Apocalypse] not influential enough? Or is my [Shadow] not powerful enough compared to Schicksal's intelligence agency?"

Theresa was speechless.

She wasn't unaware of how powerful Jill was, but for him to say it so directly meant that he was truly prepared to wage war against Destiny.

"Ha, and Schicksal also makes mechs, right?" Jill tilted her head and smiled. "The [Gate of Babylon] won't lag behind, although there's only one of those mechs."

The blueprints were obtained by exchanging templates, and the suitable, even stronger, metal materials were found in the Gate of Babylon. The energy source was also a magic gem that Jill found in the Gate of Babylon.

Although only one was ever built, that mech, once piloted, would be absolutely awe-inspiring!

However, the number of people in the [Babylon Gate] was not large to begin with, and in the last two years, they had to pull a lot of labor from the [Azure Dragon] to assemble the mecha, which sped up the completion of the mecha.

“What can one mech do…” Theresa complained. “Why is this the only one that’s so unreliable…”

"I hope you won't be too surprised when you see it," Jill laughed. "Let's go to Destiny headquarters and rescue that child."

Jill gripped the communicator, her expression grave. "And there are other things I want to know."

That's something that even the omniscient and omnipotent star can't see.

In other words, it's being obscured by something in this world, right?

Even though a portion of its power was sealed on the moon, it still has this kind of influence. The "Honkai" god is still not to be underestimated.

It seems that Jill may have slightly underestimated the power of "He".

Although it was possible to forcibly use the power of the Destruction Factor to destroy the world's database and gain access to its contents, that would still be destructive to the world, and Jill was unwilling to do so.

Therefore, Jill had no choice but to use a more direct, but also more complicated, method.

That means barging directly into the headquarters of Destiny.

Since it's unclear what Otto will do, the action needs to be taken as soon as possible!

This is why Jill immediately summoned Azure Dragon and Dragon Fang to come over.

Operation Thunder must catch Otto off guard.

If Otto realizes what's happening and ends up taking the real Kiana hostage... that would be really bad.

Therefore, Gil must act faster than Otto.

The operation involved a feint attack while simultaneously rushing in to rescue people—a very simple and brutal plan, but also the most effective one.

There are several people on Jill's side who are certain to be the rescuers.

The first one is Gil himself, because Gil is the strongest. If Gil can't do it, then no one else can.

Besides Gilles, Theresa should also be included, because she is most familiar with the internal structure of Schicksal, so she should be counted as well.

Then there's Kusanagi, the most honest and reliable kid. If there's any danger, he'll definitely cover the rear.

Next was Siegfried. After all, he was saving his daughter, and he couldn't let this irresponsible father get away.

Jill began to make her own plans. Although the time was short, a foolproof plan was impossible, so she just needed to make a plan that could be handled by improvisation.

Jill began drawing some tracks on her communicator; these were tracks specifically for the evacuation plan, which Jill felt was essential to developing.

He doesn't need to retreat, but Theresa and Siegfried do.

Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, Rita had likely already returned to Schicksal headquarters.

There should also be special weapons and armor used by Rita inside the Schicksal headquarters.

Tsk, then let's tell those guys at the Gates of Babylon to bring that over too.

The swordsman (Saber) and archer (Archer) haven't been brought yet. Fortunately, these two weapons were equipped with the Full Bottle system on a whim, so they can be used by Randolph and Gross when they launch a feint attack.

Jill estimated that from now until they could begin their operation, they had about an hour left.

It seems best to just tell the guys at the Gates of Babylon to take those two weapons with them and send them straight to the battlefield.

Jill stroked her chin, assessing the problem, then remembered that the Hyperion was also there. She glanced at the girls and felt a headache coming on.

Should we send these girls back to St. Freya Academy? Or take them on a mission?

After thinking it over, Jill figured that since the girls probably wouldn't agree to be sent back anyway, she might as well throw them all onto the frontal feint battlefield. That way, the girls could get some good training.

However, what Gilgamesh didn't expect was that Otto had already done something that would terrify anyone who understood what "Honkai" was...

……

Destiny Headquarters.

"...Since Sirin's approach doesn't work...is this the only option?" Otto looked at the Plague Gem in his hand and a twisted, crazed smile appeared on his face.

"Don't blame me, Kiana Kaslana. K423 was saved by that person, so I had no choice but to make you my next test subject..." He whispered to the girl in the incubation tank, "Congratulations, you're going to become the next Herrscher—the Fifth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Flame..."

However, things did not continue as Otto had envisioned—

This is probably something completely beyond Otto's imagination...

……

The girl in the cultivation tank is the real Kiana from back then—the Kiana with Gil's blessing "Gebo" rune on her body.

In 2009, Theresa agreed to cover Siegfried, Cecilia, and their daughter Kiana's escape from Destiny. However, Otto had already discovered the plan, and Siegfried and Cecilia were pursued by Otto's forces.

Ultimately, Cecilia died due to a recurrence of her old wounds on the battlefield. Siegfried escaped successfully with Kiana's clone, K-423, but the real Kiana was retrieved by Schicksal's forces.

After leaving Schicksal, Siegfried and K-423 lived in seclusion in an extremely cold place for several years. At first, Siegfried was very indifferent to K-423.

After all, his wife had died in battle right before his eyes, and his daughter had been captured...

However, Siegfried's attitude towards K-423 gradually changed after witnessing K-423's dedication and efforts in protecting others. He eventually accepted K-423 and gave her daughter the name "Kiana." K-423 herself, however, remained completely unaware of her own origins.

Later, due to an accident, K-423, who is now Kiana, was separated from Siegfried. Kiana followed Siegfried's clues and footsteps all the way to the Far East, where she encountered the Third Honkai Impact. She was then rescued by a young man who was running around recklessly and brought back to St. Freya Academy.

However, Jill was certain that this somewhat irresponsible and flirtatious Siegfried was definitely observing Kiana in secret.

Moreover, according to the information from [Shadow], Siegfried seems to have been gathering intelligence while causing trouble for Schicksal over the years.

In a little while, this intelligence will likely come in very handy.

Meanwhile, in the cultivation tank, as time passed, the purple Honkai energy was gradually absorbed by the real Kiana.

Otto didn't notice that Kiana's eyes opened slightly.

Those once clear, azure eyes had turned into a pure and sacred gold...

It was as if someone had descended from the heavens, intending to judge humanity...

gods.

……

"Whoosh—" Three enormous airships flew past at an astonishing speed in the sky.

The Hyperion, Nidhogg, and Artemis, three enormous spaceships, are flying towards the Schicksal headquarters.

Jill was standing in the command room of the Hyperion, with Enkidu and Ren following behind her.

"I'm sorry, Ren, Enkidu, for making you indulge in my whims." Gil smiled apologetically. "However, I can sense that time is approaching."

"Is it time for the final battle?" Kusanagi asked, fiddling with his Lancer.

“Yes, that’s right, Yin. I’ll fill all the bottles you’re given with that stuff. The task of breaking through Schicksal’s headquarters’ protective shield is yours,” Jill said. “Is that alright?”

"Of course, I was prepared a long time ago."

Kusanagi waved the four bottles in his hand and said.

"Angel," "Unicorn," "Hydra," and—

"Your Majesty, is this alright for me?" Kusanagi asked, holding up the last crimson bottle.

It was a Full Bottle with dragon patterns, a crimson dragon Full Bottle, and Jill only had one—

"Welsh dragon" - Draig's bottle.

"It's fine to give it to you. I can use that bottle, but there's no need for it, because the original power is already within me."

Gil raised his left hand, and the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet appeared amidst flames, then disappeared. "Time is almost up, get ready."

"No problem, leave it to me."
