Scrolling through short videos and seeing embarrassing moments, has even the Mi Home ecosystem broke

Although Durandal's appearance was largely inherited from Cecilia, which made Siegfried smile wryly, at least she inherited the genes of a great beauty.

If Durandal really inherited his uncle's looks, then he should truly be devastated.

Although Durandal didn't admit it herself, the title on the screen and her attitude towards Mei and Kiana were enough to confirm her identity.

Adding to the immediate warmth and connection Cecilia and Siegfried felt upon first seeing her, a connection that could only be felt between blood relatives, the two were almost certain—

The strongest S-class Valkyrie in Destiny today is their biological daughter who unfortunately went missing when they fled Destiny!

As for Durandal's hair color...

Cecilia and Siegfried also knew that their biological daughter had the same white hair as them when she was a child.

Although Durandal in the picture has long, wavy blonde hair, Siegfried has some clues.

During the Second Honkai Impact, Sirin received the blessing of the Honkai God on the moon and obtained four more Herrscher Cores.

Sirin then threatened Walter Young with a meteorite impact on Earth, forcing him to go to the moon to die.

In that heroic act of self-sacrifice, Walter Young did everything in his power to delay Sirin, successfully creating time for Siegfried to operate on the moon.

During the time that Nawalt Yang risked his life for, Siegfried discovered a precious legacy from a previous civilization buried on the moon.

That injection of a gene-activating agent that laid the foundation for humanity's victory in the Second Honkai Impact, along with a precious metal that revolutionized Destiny Technology—

魂钢

Soul Steel, preserved from the previous civilization era, was brought back to Destiny by Siegfried and became the key to Destiny's unparalleled technological prowess.

Siegfried and Cecilia didn't know if their daughter had suffered any injuries after they lost contact with Kiana.

However, if treatment is timely, the power of the Soul Steel can safely save her life without leaving any future problems, only with side effects...

It could be like Durandal in the picture, whose white hair has turned into big, wavy blonde hair.

For their daughter Durandal, who had been out of contact since childhood, the mere fact that they could hear she was still alive was enough to bring tears to the eyes of Cecilia and Siegfried.

Not to mention, being able to witness Durandal wielding the Black Abyss White Flower—

That was once the Divine Key that belonged exclusively to her mother, Cecilia, and could only be controlled by the strongest S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny.

Cecilia and Siegfried both had undisguised satisfaction in their eyes.

Their daughter had grown into such a source of pride, possessing terrifying talent and remarkable achievements that were among the best in the entire history of Destiny, allowing them to hold their heads high with complete pride.

However, they also felt remorseful. For so many years, they had only believed their daughter was dead. During Durandal's upbringing, they had failed to provide the attention and support that parents should give, and instead allowed Durandal to grow up in an organization like Schicksal...

"Kiana..."

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Himeko's Final Chapter, Opening

"Kiana..."

Cecilia and Siegfried call out Durandal's former name, and also the name of K423 who has acquired it.

As parents, they hope that one day their two daughters can truly sit down and get along like sisters...

Instead of what Durandal mentioned in the light screen, where even when the sisters reunite, they are unable to recognize each other due to the pressure from the Herrscher and the Honkai, and can only be exhausted by training... those burdens that should not be placed on the shoulders of such young girls.

…………

Cecilia and Siegfried met their real daughter, and the regret they had felt for so many years was finally eased. Their hope was transformed into the prospect of a family reunion one day.

Meanwhile, the consciousness of Sirin hidden within Kiana fell silent the moment it saw Durandal in the light screen.

Although his hair color had changed and he had grown up, Sirin still recognized him at a glance...

"Humph."

Cecilia's daughter, whom Cecilia had harmed in that illusory dream, the one who had caused her to develop a soft heart and even a longing for humans, was present.

In that illusory dream, Cecilia and Siegfried's memories of their daughter Kiana, together with Sirin, formed a family.

Sirin and Kiana share Cecilia and Siegfried, and the warmth of their parents.

Celine became sisters with her, laughing and playing together, experiencing the family life that a little girl of her age should have.

Durandal... or rather, the real Kiana...

Her sister...

Sirin seemed to have returned to that dream of the Feathered Dust, to the warm days she spent with Durandal, Siegfried, and Cecilia.

Celine's emotions were starting to spiral out of control; she gritted her teeth and let out a final, cold snort.

"Hmph, just a delinquent girl with dyed hair."

………………

In the Upper City of Beloborg, in the Iron Universe, Silva, fiddling with musical instruments in her mechanical shop, stared wide-eyed at the light screen, at the blonde beauty who bore a striking resemblance to her.

She never expected that there would be people in the world who could be so similar. Apart from the highlights, it was even difficult for Hilva to find any difference between her and Durandal!

However... when Durandal made her move, Sylva understood the fundamental difference between the two.

Compared to her tinkering with machines in the machine shop, Durandal's strength can only be described as a nightmare. Hilva doesn't even doubt that Durandal could destroy the entire Beloborg single-handedly.

Jepard, who was visiting her, also saw the light screen and looked at Sylva with a shocked expression.

"Sister, you..."

Jepard had never known that Sylva possessed such formidable strength.

When did she become the so-called strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, and fight against the Herrscher, a calamity comparable to a star core?

Hilva noticed the questioning look in her younger brother Jeppard's eyes, and immediately put her hands on her hips and became smug:

"Hmph, I used to be really strong, you know."

Upon hearing Shiluwa's statement, Jepard immediately looked away and lost interest.

Based on his understanding of his sister, since Hilva so openly admitted it, and even boasted about it so proudly, then the Durandal in the light screen must not be her.

…………

In the upper city of Beloborg, the Great Guardian Cocolia stared at her old friend on the light screen and fell silent.

Upon seeing "Sylva," she was momentarily stunned, almost mistaking Durandal for her old friend Sylva.

However, after Durandal displayed terrifying power, Cocolia knew that this was definitely not a friend she knew.

Cocolia, who had been classmates with Hilva for many years, knew that the guy had never experienced anything about destiny or being a Herrscher, nor did he possess such terrifying strength.

Otherwise, why would Cocolia let that guy go? Such a powerful fighter would be far more useful to keep by her side.

She just didn't expect to see someone who looked so much like Bronya in the light screen again.

Who will appear in the light screen next? Another "Cocolia" who looks extremely similar to her?

………………

………………

As the shocking news that "the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal is the Herrscher's sister" stunned everyone and left them reeling, the title of the next scene appeared on the screen:

The many twists and turns of the disease-related gemstones bear witness to the passing down and eternal burning of the flame.

When the key words "Plague Gem" and "Flame" came into view, everyone immediately thought of the scene that had just aired not long ago where Kiana became the Herrscher of Flame.

Having defeated Sirin, fought alongside her companions to reclaim the Herrscher powers, and ultimately triumphed over Kiana, the ruler of the Herrschers, she now wields the power of the Herrscher of Fire.

The Plague Gem that shook Kiana's resolve, the Plague Gem that suddenly betrayed her and aided Kiana during her battle against Sirin.

What secrets does this gem, which contains the power of the Herrscher of Flame, hold, and why has it accompanied Kiana's growth?

Kiana and Himeko exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a complex mix of unease, trepidation, and a touch of unspoken emotion between master and disciple.

Although she didn't yet know what had happened between them in the future, Kiana's heart skipped a beat the moment she saw the "Plague Gem".

There was an extremely ominous premonition, as if a painful scene was about to unfold.

Himeko's heart skipped a beat, as if she were witnessing her own death.

However, at the same time, she also sensed that what was about to be shown was the full support she could give Kiana as her teacher and Kiana's elder.

Himeko had long been aware of "death" and her own lifespan, but even knowing this, she still found it difficult to face death calmly.

However, if, at the very end of one's life, one can fulfill their responsibilities as a teacher, protect their students, and ignite their beliefs...

Even with her anxieties, Himeko is willing to face the future head-on.

All doubts will be explained on the light screen.

Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, the scene rewinds from far into the future, when Kiana and Mei had grown up, all the way back to before Kiana was forced to revive and become Sirin.

Let's go back to when Theresa, Mei, and the others stormed the Schicksal headquarters, before they launched their full-scale attack.

Under everyone's gaze, Theresa and the main force of St. Freya Academy deployed a ground squad from the Hyperion ship. Their mission was to infiltrate Schicksal headquarters to dismantle Schicksal's defenses and find another way to deal with Schicksal...

The main force of this team is none other than Himeko Murata, the teacher who rarely appears in Kiana's future growth scenes and only makes a fleeting glimpse.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Himeko?

Among the ground team that infiltrated Schicksal headquarters with Himeko in the scene is Dr. Tesla, a lobster-like man with twin ponytails and the same bright red hair.

One of the leaders of Anti-Entropy stood with Himeko, further illustrating the alliance between St. Freya Academy and Anti-Entropy.

The fact that they joined forces with Schicksal's enemies to attack Schicksal's headquarters is enough to convict Himeko and Theresa of betraying Schicksal.

But in their eyes, there were clearly things that were far more important than that.

Himeko donned the armor she hadn't touched in years, Valkyrie Crimson.

That was the most powerful armor Himeko could drive before her retirement, and it was also the armor she used to subdue Mei when she met Kiana and Mei in Changkong City.

Since Himeko retired and became a teacher at St. Freya Academy, this armor has not seen Himeko for a long time.

It wasn't because she lacked the will to fight, but because—

"Cough...cough..."

Himeko, who infiltrated with Tesla, was not as fiery and beautiful as she appeared; she would occasionally let out a few suppressed coughs from her throat.
