On how PhDs become human evil

With that sound, the black sword light, accompanied by a devastating impact, landed on Heavy Bunny's shield, sending him flying like a baseball, along with Bronya.

"Bronya!"

Seeing Bronya being knocked away, Mei and Kiana exclaimed in surprise. Just then, a dark figure appeared in front of Mei and punched her in the abdomen.

A burst of explosive power!

An invisible shell exploded in Mei's abdomen, blasting her and Bronya into the wall.

Within two breaths, Mei and Bronya were both defeated, and at that moment, Kiana, the only one still standing, finally saw clearly who had attacked them.

The one who knocked Bronya away was a silver-haired woman wearing a large black hat, her two-meter-long sword blade pressed against Bronya's forehead. On the other side, the one who knocked Mei unconscious was a white-haired boy, his legs and arms covered in mechanical-looking armor, and he wore a monocle over his right eye, the eyes behind which were inexplicably glaring at her.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?!" Kiana may be reckless, but she's not stupid. If the other side could easily defeat Mei and Bronya, then if she were to attack them easily, she would definitely be subdued instantly. In that case, she might as well stall for time and see if she could find an opening.

Upon hearing Kiana's words, the white-haired boy—Bai Jie—suddenly laughed, opened his arms, and said, "Who am I? Your words truly chill me to the bone, Kiana—my dear and foolish little sister!"

“My name is Fafnir, Fafnir Schariac, your brother.”

brother.

The moment these words entered Kiana's ears, her first reaction was disbelief.

She lived with that unscrupulous father for several years and had never heard of having an older brother.

"Don't lie to me! I don't have a brother!"

“Yes, you don’t have a brother. I am your brother, but I am not your brother either,” Bai Jie laughed. “You are just a Faker, a Faker who was given my sister’s name by that scumbag father and who took everything from her, K-423!”

A vibrant green hurricane gathered on Bai Jie's right arm armor. With a casual wave of his hand, countless wind blades danced wildly in an instant, and the deadly whirlwind slash turned into a torrent rushing towards the unarmed Kiana!

Cha-cha-cha-cha!

Her clothes were torn, her muscle tissue was severed, her bones were shattered... A large amount of blood gushed from Kiana's body, undoubtedly a lethal amount of bleeding, showing that Bai Jie had not held back at all in this attack.

"Hoo hoo~~~ Your precision has decreased because you were too excited. You should have died on the spot, but you're still breathing." Bai Jie said with a cold smile as he approached Kiana, then raised his foot and stomped on her head without any mercy.

With forceful twisting of his feet, as if he wanted to crush Kiana's head, Bai Jie repeatedly ravaged Kiana's body.

"Are you in pain? That's good, if you're not in pain I'll be utterly disappointed! Shout all you want, cry all you want, wail all you want! You deserve all of this!"

"Because you took my sister's name, my sister lost everything. She can't go to school, she can't be recognized by anyone, and she's always been called a fake. How ironic! The real Kiana is considered fake, but the fake you is considered real! Why?!"

With a powerful kick, Bai Jie sent Kiana flying to the corner of the wall. He bent down, grabbed her hair, and lifted her up. Looking at her blood-covered face, Bai Jie leaned in and licked it, savoring the taste of blood spreading on his tongue. The madness in his eyes intensified.

Bai Jie is incredibly excited right now. Do you know how excited he was when he found this basement and heard Kiana and the others talking inside? He was absolutely thrilled!

Since 2009, Bai Jie had been looking forward to this day. Every time he saw the real Kiana's sad expression because her identity was being impersonated and she couldn't enter society, Bai Jie vowed to personally help his sister get back everything that belonged to her, with interest!

Now, it's finally time to collect the interest. Although it's a pity that Siegfried isn't here, it'll be soon, since Bai Jie is such a filial son.

He will definitely kill Siegfried with his own hands!

Thinking of this, Bai Jie reached out and grabbed K-423 by the neck. With just a little force, the already dying fake in front of him would die a horrible death!

"stop!"

Just as Bai Jie was about to deliver the fatal blow, a thunderous roar resounded, followed by scorching heavenly fire descending from the hole above.

Boom—!

The basement was instantly destroyed, and the ceiling was completely destroyed, leaving everyone exposed to the sky.

As the hurricane swept past, Bai Jie emerged from the blazing inferno, glanced at K-423, which had been blown away by the blast, pursed his lips, and then looked upwards.

Bai Jie is now truly and incredibly excited. He never imagined that he would realize his long-cherished wish in one fell swoop during the Third Collapse!

Looking at the person above, Bai Jie shouted his name loudly: "You've finally arrived! Siegfried Kaslana!"

P.S.: Update

P.S.: I accidentally got carried away with writing and ended up with a 3352-word chapter.

P.S.: Some people might be confused about the protagonist's actions, so let me explain—as we all know, Siegfried took K423 away in 2009 and gave her the name Kiana. Therefore, in the public eye, K423 is Kiana. The real Kiana, who has always been with the protagonist, is naturally considered a fake, unable even to attend school. This is why the real Kiana is studying English at home in the first chapter of this volume—because she can't go to school, all her knowledge is taught by Rita and the protagonist. And because of this, the protagonist harbors intense hatred for K423 and Siegfried, which is why he attacks them with deadly intent upon first sight. Of course, K423 and Siegfried won't actually die; there's more to their story later. At most, they'll be half-dead—a sister complex is truly terrifying.

Section 30, Chapter 7: I, Bai Jie, am a very filial son.

Jumping from the underground space onto the street, looking at the face that had aged considerably compared to his memory, Bai Jie said, "What a pitiful sight! Father, you who were once so spirited are now only one arm. Should we say that time waits for no one?"

Hearing Bai Jie's voice, and looking at Kiana, who was severely injured and on the verge of death by Bai Jie, Siegfried suppressed his anger and asked, "You've changed a lot. You've become so ruthless that you don't even spare your own sister."

"Pfft, hahahahahaha!"

As if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, Bai Jie burst into laughter on the spot.

"This is...this is hilarious! What did I just hear? That girl is my sister? That cloned imposter is my sister? Are you blind or am I blind, Siegfried?!"

"Kiana Kaslana, that's the name you gave Kiana, but why... why did you give your daughter's name to a clone! Do you know how Kiana has lived all these years! Do you know how much harm your actions have caused Kiana!"

"Parents are the people children trust most. They believe in you unconditionally, and so do Kiana and I. But you betrayed our trust! You gave Kiana a fake instead of what should have been given to her!"

As mentioned earlier, apart from those in the know, no one wanted to believe that Kiana, whose name had been taken away, was the real Kiana. She had no choice but to admit that she was the clone, created by Whitebeard because he missed his sister who had been taken away by Siegfried.

The genuine product became a counterfeit, and the counterfeit became the genuine product. The counterfeit even operates with impunity around the world, using the genuine product's name! Time and again, the name [Kiana] has been tarnished!

"I swore an oath the day you betrayed us! I will never forgive you! Whether it's that fake that stole everything from Kiana, or your betrayal of our father, I will not let you get away with it! I will personally avenge my sister!"

"Now that the counterfeit product has been dealt with, all that's left is you, so... for your sister's sake, please die, Father!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jie unleashed a verdant hurricane from his entire body. Propelled by the hurricane, he burst forth with a speed comparable to that of a bullet, closing in on Siegfried's body in one breath!

Upon hearing Bai Jie's words, Siegfried naturally realized that he was in the wrong, but he couldn't let Bai Jie kill him right there, so he immediately raised the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

(Anyway, Bai Jie is just an office worker and has a congenital leg disability, so he's definitely—)

Siegfried's idea was instantly overturned. He had just raised the Heavenly Fire Judgment when Bai Jie accelerated and rushed in front of him, his fists striking his chest repeatedly. The burst of force sent him flying.

Quickly regaining his balance, Siegfried looked at Bai Jie in disbelief: "How is this possible! That was martial arts from China?!"

"Do you think I haven't done anything all these years?" Bai Jie said coldly. "I have found a way to counter every move of Kaslana's gunfight technique. I have watched all the combat videos of you in the Destiny database hundreds of times. I know all your combat habits. I have also simulated at least 10,000 times with you in the training ground. I have simulated all kinds of combat situations."

Knowing from the beginning that he would inevitably face Siegfried, Bai Jie would conduct mock battles against Siegfried whenever he had free time. Over the years, Bai Jie has thoroughly studied Siegfried.

Every action and strategy Siegfried might take... Bai Jie even simulated various scenarios, such as Siegfried being seriously injured or stronger when they met again, or Bai Jie being in poor condition, etc.

To date, the number of simulated battles has exceeded ten thousand, and Bai Jie's brain has stored more than three thousand plans to deal with Siegfried.

“You are dead, Siegfried,” Bai Jie said. “The moment you met me, it was destined that you could only be killed by me. Prepare to die, Father!”

【Accel】

A red, USB-shaped object appeared in Bai Jie's hand. He pressed it and inserted it into the groove of his leg armor. In an instant, he unleashed a speed far exceeding his previous burst of speed. Siegfried only saw a blur before Bai Jie was already in front of him.

[Joker], [Heat]

Two more USB drives were inserted into the grooves of the arm armor, and crimson flames rose up. Filled with rage, Bai Jie punched Siegfried hard in the face.

【Ice Age】

The icy blue memory core pierced through the leg armor, and the right leg lashed out like a whip, striking Siegfried's chest and leaving severe frostbite marks.

(No, if this continues... I'll be killed!)

Now that things have come to this, Siegfried doesn't think Bai Jie will listen to his explanation. He could tell from the attack just now that Bai Jie really wanted to kill him!

(Having such a filial son, I'm truly unfortunate.)

With a wry smile, Siegfried revealed a warrior's expression, switching the Heavenly Fire Judgment in his hand to hand cannon mode. The Heavenly Fire cannons were fired in succession, dozens of Heavenly Fire beams tearing through the sky and blasting towards Bai Jie!

Unperturbed, Bai Jie's legs glowed red, and the super-fast movement brought by Accel made him completely unafraid of any attack from Siegfried!

—Gaia Memory.

Bai Jie had an idea that came to him by chance: to store the power of the Stigmata in a container made of Honkai Crystal, so that even someone as powerless as him could possess power equal to—or even surpass—that of an A-rank Valkyrie!

There are a total of 26 memory modules, named using the 26 letters of the English alphabet.

"boom--!"

Wielding his fiery fist, Bai Jie showed no regard for their father-son relationship as he relentlessly attacked Siegfried. After all, their bond had been severed the moment Siegfried betrayed them.

One-inch punch, Muay Thai, Karate, Taekwondo, Bajiquan, Pankrasin... Bai Jie used all sorts of fighting techniques he had learned over the years on Siegfried. Although he was a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, with Bai Jie's super speed and three thousand sets of tactics and strategies against Siegfried, Bai Jie still managed to pin Siegfried to the ground and beat him!

"Doctor, I have some bad news." Suddenly, Skadi came to Bai Jie's side.

Stopping his pursuit of Siegfried, Bai Jie asked, "What's wrong? Didn't I tell you to go and clear out the Honkai Beasts and zombies in other areas?"

Before the battle began, Bai Jie had Skadi deal with the Honkai Beasts and zombies around them, as he didn't want his revenge to be disturbed.

“Your mother has arrived,” Skadi said.

This one sentence stunned Bai Jie. He remembered that he had already sent the Fafnir back to the Destiny headquarters. Why was she back?

"Wait, did Mom notice something was wrong and then go to threaten Ai-chan?"

This is definitely not wishful thinking. Bai Jie knows what kind of person Ai-chan is. As long as Cecilia is fierce, she will definitely cower in the second!

So here's the problem: Cecilia is already in Changkong City, and a huge commotion has broken out there. Cecilia will inevitably rush over, and what if she witnesses this scene—

"Skadi, stop her by any means necessary, without harming Mom!"

“I understand,” Skadi said and left.

Looking at Siegfried, Bai Jie said with a wry smile, "My mother is here. Although I don't think this is enough for you to atone for your sins, I'm sorry, you should leave here."

The black vortex in Bai Jie's hand gradually transformed into a giant axe with a black blade.

【Metal】、【Heat】【Fang】【Xtreme】

Four memory units merged into the giant axe. Bai Jie came to Siegfried, whose legs and arms had been broken by him, and raised the axe blade, which was wreathed in flames and resembled the fangs of a beast.

Metal enhanced hardness, Heat added flames, Fang made the axe blade incredibly sharp, and finally Xtreme comprehensively enhanced the power of all the memories and Bai Jie himself.

[It's ready to go]

These words appeared in Bai Jie's glasses-style scanning scope.

"It says, you can go now." With one last look at Siegfried, Bai Jie swung his giant axe—"Goodbye, Father, and goodbye to my cowardice!"

The black flames of the axe sliced ​​through space, severing Siegfried's head as easily as cutting tofu—or so it should have been.

However, the axe blade grazed Siegfried's cheek, merely slicing open his mouth.
