However, just as Toppa frowned, the light screen reappeared.

[Is Sirin actually a pufferfish? A look back at the Queen's repeated setbacks and moments of arrogance]

"??"

This title instantly dispelled much of the heaviness in everyone's hearts, and the intense sense of oppression left by Sirin's haughty queenly demeanor also dissipated considerably.

"Pufferfish???"

This inexplicably appearing term left everyone puzzled. How could Queen Sirin, who had just destroyed the steel torrent with a flick of her finger, be associated with a pufferfish, a fish-shaped "shoe brush" that looks cute and harmless?

While it's true that pufferfish have sharp teeth and deadly toxins, this cute creature that swells up when angry and is prone to deflation seems completely unrelated to the Herrscher, a natural disaster and a synonym for Honkai.

……

Theresa, in particular, who had once fought Sirin at close range, frowned deeply.

In Theresa's memory, the battle was so intense that she was badly injured and couldn't recall the details clearly.

All she remembered was the unimaginable catastrophe caused by that collapse, and the unprecedented power Sirin displayed that filled everyone with despair.

Theresa could no longer recall the specifics of how she defeated Sirin, or the many details of the battle.

Judging from the content that appeared on the light screen earlier, which encompassed both the future and the past, perhaps the light screen will next reveal those details that Theresa has forgotten?

This naturally makes it clear what "pufferfish" in the title means.

Of course, more than the specific details of that battle, Theresa now wants to see the story of Sirin's "setback," as mentioned in the title.

After all, it was too embarrassing for the headmistress of St. Freya Academy to be choked and hung up by her own niece in front of so many students!

Although it was the Herrscher Sirin inside Kiana who utterly defeated her, strictly speaking, it wasn't really being bullied by her own niece, so it shouldn't be that shameful...

But in the end, it's Kiana's body and Kiana's appearance that make Theresa feel incredibly embarrassed to be choked in front of so many students!

Especially since Kiana, the real deal, is right in front of us!

Theresa didn't notice that her aunt had first used chains to bind her niece. She only knew that she was very ashamed of losing face as an aunt and wished the light screen could quickly make up for it!

……

Because Fu Hua had burned most of her memories in that battle, she had no recollection of the details of the fight and could not recall what had led to Sirin being given the nickname "Pufferfish".

She only remembered that the battle was extremely difficult. Even after so much time had passed and she had long since figured out how to deal with the Herrscher, she had to pay a huge price by burning her own memories.

After those memories vanished with the wind along with the Sword God of the Void, Fu Hua's sea of ​​memories was left empty, filled only with the realization that she had lost many, many important things, yet she couldn't recall what they were.

Has she forgotten someone important? Has she forgotten something important, or a promise important?

Fu Hua had no way of knowing anything and could only silently put the emptiness left by this "forgetting" behind her mind.

Because she knew that this was the price she had to pay to fight against the Honkai.

Compared to those who gave their lives, her act of merely burning memories was insignificant.

Now, with the headline mentioning "Sirin is like a pufferfish, repeatedly suffering setbacks and then expanding again," Fu Hua couldn't recall it at all. She could only look at the screen in confusion, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

……

While Kiana may not be as personally involved in the Second Honkai Impact as Theresa and Fu Hua, the Herrscher core within her indicates that she was also a semi-participant.

Although she is still Kiana now, Kiana's experience is very complicated when she sees that the Herrscher hidden inside her body is about to have its dark history exposed by the light screen.

The Herrscher hidden inside Kiana's body seemed to react violently, its fur bristling the moment Kiana saw the title on the screen!

"Humans! Get out of my way! I'm going to smash this damned light barrier!"

------

Here's a small bug: Theresa should be calling Kiana her niece, not her niece. That's a mistake, meow.

Apology or 2

I wasn't clear on how relatives address each other before, and I thought Kiana called Theresa "Auntie," which would correspond to "niece." Sorry~

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Theresa's Fury

An exasperated voice echoed in Kiana's mind, clearly indicating that the Herrscher was in a great hurry!

Compared to the teasing and playful way the Herrscher had stirred things up when Kiana wasn't paying attention, the voice Sirin that Kiana heard now was filled with resentment, shame, and gritted teeth.

It's just like a child whose embarrassing past is about to be exposed by adults in front of many relatives and even many strangers.

Seeing Sirin jumping up and down like a child, Kiana couldn't help but adopt an adult's posture and scold her to sit still and get ready to eat fruit and watch movies.

"Human! You are seeking death!"

Sirin was clearly offended by Kiana's provocation, and in her anger, her voice even trembled slightly to Kiana's ears.

It was just like an angry child being teased by an adult until they were about to cry; Kiana could even vaguely imagine Sirin with the little pearl hanging from her ear, sniffling, and on the verge of tears.

Sirin could clearly sense that Kiana was treating her like a child, and she was so angry that she bared her teeth and claws and was about to fight Kiana for control of her body!

Although Kiana is currently quite confused, she is surrounded by her family and friends, with Mei, Bronya, Aunt Himeko, Class Leader Fu Hua, and Aunt Theresa all supporting her.

Furthermore, Kiana currently lacks sufficient Honkai energy to support Sirin's revival, and the Tranquility Gem that Otto implanted in Sirin in the light screen to revive her is not currently within Kiana's body.

Sirin, who has not been awake for long, has neither Honkai energy nor the powers of a Herrscher. Her attempt to seize Kiana's body, who is not alone, is somewhat delusional.

Therefore, no matter how violently the voice in Kiana's heart beat, it could only obediently stay inside her body and watch the light screen display the image—

………………

[Is Sirin actually a pufferfish? A look back at the Queen's repeated setbacks and moments of arrogance]

When the images on the light screen reversed time back to Siberia more than a decade ago, at the beginning of the natural disaster in 2000, a purple-haired girl appeared on the light screen.

The purple-haired girl appearing in the picture looks petite and small, even smaller than Kiana's physique, and can be described as "cute".

"That's... Sirin, the Second Herrscher who caused the disaster during the Second Honkai Impact?"

Kiana's hand unconsciously rested on her chest. The Herrscher core buried inside her body contained the consciousness of a Herrscher who had once been a little girl.

"Humph."

The consciousness within Kiana's body let out an annoyed snort and then fell silent.

It seems that because they couldn't compete for Kiana's body, they simply stopped watching the scene on the screen to avoid getting angry.

This reaction indirectly suggests that the "cute" little girl in the picture is none other than Sirin, who caused the catastrophe.

When the light screen showed Sirin from back then, Theresa and Fu Hua, two witnesses whose memories were hazy and incomplete, finally recalled a few fragments and remembered what the Herrscher looked like back then.

However, they were still somewhat stunned when they saw the girl-like Xilin.

"Why would such a young child become a Herrscher?"

Upon seeing Sirin's true appearance from back then, a question arose in everyone's mind.

Honkai aims to destroy human civilization, and its targets are likely beings that harbor hatred towards humanity.

Although this is just speculation, it is quite reasonable. If this speculation is accurate, then what exactly did Sirin go through that would lead her to want to destroy humanity?

……

The moment Otto at the Destiny headquarters saw Sirin's true face revealed on the light screen, he subtly clenched his fist.

The Second Honkai Impact was completely suppressed by Otto. The outside world only heard that a terrible Honkai had occurred in Siberia, and it was only resolved after a great sacrifice of Valkyries and a heavy price.

If the full story were to be revealed, it would be a huge scandal for Destiny, severely damaging its reputation and credibility.

However, the light screen never obeyed commands; it would only display what it wanted to display on its own.

If the light screen revealed every detail of the second collapse, then...

The ugly truth that Otto attempted to conceal and ultimately succeeded in will be exposed to the world.

Before being weighed, the matter seems insignificant; once weighed, it becomes far more terrifying than Mount Tai.

When a ray of light shines into darkness, it is the light that is guilty.

Otto's face turned particularly grim. He immediately prepared his explanation to the public, his rebuttal, and how to trace the source of the light screen.

Fortunately, the images on the light screen did not reveal every detail as Otto had a bad feeling.

After all, the current headline is:

[Is Sirin actually a pufferfish? A look back at the Queen's repeated setbacks and moments of arrogance]

What is being shown to the public now is merely the seemingly imposing record of Queen Sirin in her past battles.

The scene immediately opens with this purple-haired girl quietly appearing behind Theresa—

Theresa, the headmistress of St. Freya's Academy, who was defeated by Sirin at the Destiny Headquarters in the future, had already fought against Sirin 2000 years ago.

And consistent with the vague but certain fragments of Theresa's memory, Theresa was indeed no match for Sirin.

Whether in the future headquarters of Destiny or in the past Siberia

Sirin, who had quietly appeared behind Theresa, seemed to have already mastered the power of the Herrscher. The terrifying Void Spear suddenly pierced through her chest!

Theresa's nun's habit and white hair were mercilessly pierced, and the blood scattered all over the ground could melt even the snow!

"Cough!!"

In the scene, Theresa suddenly coughs up a mouthful of blood, her expression filled with unconcealed shock, which contrasts sharply with the cold smile of Sirin behind her!

[Counter: Sirin's expansion x1]

………………

"What does this mean?! Theresa is really going to get angry!!"

Seeing the counter on the screen, Theresa was so angry that she immediately swung the Oath of Judah and smashed it fiercely against the hateful thing!

That gleaming golden Key of Binding, after all, is a divine key, a weapon that only S-rank Valkyries can possess, yet at this moment it has become Theresa's tool for venting her anger—

The students of St. Freya Academy watched as the light screen was smashed down with a deafening roar by this incredibly strong little nun. Despite the ground cracking from the impact, the screen remained completely unharmed. For a moment, they didn't know who to feel sorry for.

At this moment, Theresa is really going crazy with anger!

Wasn't the plan to show some embarrassing moments of Xilin?! Why is it her again right from the start?!
