Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"If she were put on the Hyperion, we'd have to hang her outside the bridge the next day and use her as a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll-shaped ornament for decoration)."

"Sigh... a little angel, a little rascal... and a dragon girl, Kiana, are you going to bring some weirdos into the academy... no, into your destiny?"

Upon hearing this, Theresa sighed deeply.

"So, is there any other news?"

"Um, I don't have any left..."

Jiuxiao shrugged, indicating that there was no new information for the time being, while Durandal mentioned something that came to mind.

"I do have one more... It seems that Miss Kiana has an extra person with her who has never appeared in the Schicksal population records. Judging from her appearance and features, she does resemble a Kaslana. After all, it seems that only the Kaslana family has that kind of white hair. However, her eyes are quite unique. They are not blue, but a kind of blue mixed with a bit of green, a bluish-green eye..."

Durandal took out a small recorder and played a photo.

"This unidentified girl was spotted by members of the second team of the Undying Blade. According to the report at the time, the girl seemed to be secretly observing Miss Kiana. She disappeared quickly after being discovered by the second team."

"Disappeared? Didn't you stop her?"

Theresa looked at the white-haired girl in the photo with some confusion.

"White hair...doesn't that look like a member of the Kaslana family?"

"But we couldn't find any record of this girl in the Kaslana family genealogy..."

Durandal shook her head.

"That's the problem..."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing—"

Jiuxiao, watching the two discussing, suddenly remembered something.

"Kiana somehow grew two cat ears on her head... um, they're just so cute, you know?"

Durandal gave a knowing look.

"really--"

Chapter 189 The Young Lady on the Run from Heaven

On the coast outside Sky City, Kiana Kaslana, the central figure in the hottest topic of discussion in Schicksal, stared at the girl in front of her who also had the Kaslana family's characteristic white hair.

"Hey, who are you? Don't you know it's dangerous here? You didn't even bring a weapon... Which branch of the Kaslana family are you from? Did you run away from home?"

"Hmm... but don't worry, the Destiny's troops should be back soon, so just stay put!"

"I've already cleared this place out. There won't be any Honkai creations appearing anytime soon. Just wait here quietly while the Schicksal patrol takes you back."

Kiana talked to herself for ages but didn't get a single reply from the girl in front of her—

"...Um, at least say something! Are you scared out of your wits by these assassins and Honkai beasts? That won't do. How can a warrior be afraid of these things?"

Kiana stretched out her hand and waved it in front of the girl, trying to bring her back to consciousness.

"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me?!"

"Let go of that dual-wielding assassin in your hand...you've already crushed her neck!"

After struggling for a long time to no avail, Kiana grabbed the shoulders of another white-haired girl and shook her vigorously.

"....Well."

Seemingly regained some of her consciousness by Kiana's intense actions, the other white-haired girl looked at the knight princess in front of her with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"Phew...that scared me to death! I thought you'd suffered some kind of trauma and gone into a personality reversal..."

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the girl in front of her had finally come to her senses, and began to carefully examine the girl.

She had long white hair, blue eyes, and wore a pure white dress. On her head, she seemed to be wearing some kind of lifelike hair ornament that resembled angel wings.

"You look pretty good... Hey, I'm Kiana Kaslana, you weirdo. You're a Kaslana too, right...? What's your name?"

Kiana looked at the girl in front of her with great curiosity.

"...I have no name; I'm only two days old—"

The cryptic girl didn't give Kiana a direct response. She just squinted at Kiana with a playful look, giving Kiana a strange idea—maybe this girl was someone she knew?

But when did I get to know a new Kaslana? Hmm... white hair, those blue-green mixed-color eyes, that cryptic tone... I do know a few cryptic people—but their hair should all be blonde or silver.

Kiana became increasingly confused as she looked at the white-haired girl in front of her, who resembled an angel. She stared into the angel's blue eyes and fell into deep thought, while the latter returned her a gentle smile.

"Blue eyes...white hair, and superhuman strength capable of snapping a suicide soldier's neck...First, let's eliminate other random options. You are at least a Kaslana, or at least have Kaslana blood. The combination of white hair and superhuman strength is unparalleled, not only among ordinary people, but also among the Kaslana family in Schicksal."

Kiana, now a master detective, begins gathering any observable clues—

"And then there's your weird eye color... All the Valkyries of the Kaslana family have uniform blue eyes... Whether they're half-Shaniat, married within the family, or some other weird hybrid—even Snow, that weird guy who's half-Kaslana and half-Apocalypse, can't escape having blue eyes."

"However, her hair is a rather unique light blonde color...not white—uh...wait! Green mixed with blue is cyan, isn't it?"

"You wouldn't happen to be Otto's illegitimate daughter too, would you?!"

"...?"

The angel girl was clearly taken aback by the knight's erratic thought process, and wore a strange, bewildered expression.

"White hair, blue-green mixed-color eyes, superhuman strength, and most importantly, the ability to speak riddles instead of human language!!!"

"That bastard Bishop Otto, did he forget about you after he got Snow? Elbow! I'll take you to Destiny right now and beat your old man up!"

Kiana grabbed the angel girl's arm and prepared to teleport her to the Schicksal headquarters office building over a very long distance, launching a powerful attack in conjunction with the teleportation, so that the bishop who dared to forget his own descendants would be blasted out of Schicksal headquarters.

"...Imotek, you can call me by that name."

Seeing that a tragedy was about to occur, the angel girl finally spoke up and said her name, which made the irritable knight girl temporarily stop her idea of ​​beating up a certain golden-haired archbishop.

"So you're finally willing to communicate... What's your relationship with Snow and Otto?"

"Ah... she and I are intertwined, our roots entwined."

The white-haired, blue-eyed girl hummed a song~

"...Speak like a human being! The first thing that comes with being associated with Apocalypse is that you can't speak properly, right?!"

"Do you believe I'll pin you to the ground and kiss you right now?"

The White Knight was enraged by Miss Imotek's pretentious manner and made a show of baring his teeth and claws, ready to pounce.

“I am her, but she is not me... She is the glorious body sleeping on the throne of God, and I am a transcendent being walking in the mortal world.”

Ignoring the other party's aggressive demeanor, the girl who called herself Imotek continued humming to herself.

"Oh, and... Miss Kiana, I will relay your words to Ms. Theresa and Ms. Raiden Mei...?"

Looking at Kiana's menacing gestures, the angel girl tilted her head in confusion.

"Uh... I'm sorry! Please don't tell Auntie and Mei!"

Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately performed a sliding kneeling motion.

"And you're still telling riddles... although I can barely understand them this time..."

Kiana, who decisively admitted defeat, muttered to herself.

"Hmm...as you said, the forces of Destiny are on their way—"

Imotek glanced at the struggling Kiana and tilted his head.

"Aren't you leaving?"

"Huh? Okay... but you want to come with me? Let me make this clear first, although I'm living a fairly comfortable life now, my place of residence isn't exactly nice, and I don't have much money left to feed another person."

"I do not care."

Kiana opened a portal and gestured for the girl in front of her to enter.

"Then come with me... Also, Miss Imotek hopes you can explain your current situation properly later?"

"Hmm~ I will..."

Kiana stepped into the portal first, followed closely by the girl who called herself Imotek.

The coastline of Sky City quickly returned to calm, but a few minutes later it was once again surrounded by a swarm of Sky Guardian mechs and the Valkyries stationed by Destiny.

Chapter 190 The Weaver of the Storm

"All the Honkai-created objects at the scene died. The Honkai energy of the Second Herrscher and the Honkai energy of an unknown source were detected."

"Let's sweep up the battlefield and then go home! That adorable Second Herrscher cat has helped us deal with the Honkai creations that appeared again!"

One of the Valkyries shouted loudly, directing the cleaning robots to tidy up the battlefield considerably.

"It feels like I'm not as relaxed as I was a few years ago... A Herrscher is actually helping us clean up the Honkai damage... If I went back to the Valkyrie Academy eight years ago, the old instructor would probably slap me twice and ask if I was still dreaming, and stop me from having such daydreams."

One of the Valkyries stretched, a pancake dangling from her mouth, and mumbled something indistinctly.

"Don't let your guard down, Lieutenant... Although a Herrscher is constantly helping us clean up the Honkai damage here, the Honkai energy reaction in Sky City is still increasing. We must be ready to fight at any time!"

"Even that Herrscher couldn't possibly be at multiple disaster sites at the same time."

The leading Valkyrie shook her head, looking at her somewhat lax subordinates with a disappointed expression.

"Ah, yes! Captain!"

"But why does the Honkai energy in this city keep increasing...? Could it be...?"

"Don't think about those things. How long has it been since the Fourth Honkai Impact? Miss Wendy is still soaring over the European continent."

"No, Captain, I mean, could it be that the Second Herrscher's continued presence in this city is causing the Honkai energy level in Sky City to keep rising?"

"We initially thought the same thing, but that conclusion was eventually overturned—if the increase in Honkai energy concentration was indeed caused by the Herrscher, the Honkai energy should consciously converge towards the Herrscher herself, but the Honkai energy in this city... seems to have no owner at all."

"They converge randomly, wandering and gathering aimlessly, and then turn into small or medium-sized collapse disasters one after another—it seems completely out of control."

"Moreover, this Second Herrscher only arrived in this city in the last month... almost two months later than this strange phenomenon appeared. Rather than saying it was the Herrscher that caused the increase in Honkai energy concentration... it's more accurate to say that this strange phenomenon in the city attracted this Herrscher who is cleaning up Honkai disasters all over the world."

"Ugh... I have a feeling something terrible is going to happen..."

Upon hearing this, the team members began to whisper among themselves.

"Yes, a storm is brewing, but there's nothing to be afraid of. Being a Valkyrie means being on the front lines of the storm. Besides, you still have me, the captain. Even if the sky falls, there's someone taller watching over it. What's there to panic about?"

"Captain, if you plant another flag, you might not live to retire!"
