Kiana, do you understand what filial piety is?

The cold Honkai energy fluctuations caused the metal walls of the laboratory to begin to twist and deform, emitting a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

Yu Zhe felt a piercing chill, but he remained calm, not even a frown. He simply stared calmly at the enraged Herrscher of the Sky before him. "I understand your concerns. I know that power is indispensable to you, but you also know that as long as Kiana is still around, you will never be able to return to your former glory."

"But if you give up the power of the Herrscher of the Void and choose the Serenity Gem, and use the power of the Serenity Gem to perfect the Herrscher, you can completely break free from Kiana's constraints. At that time, even if you temporarily lose the power of the Herrscher of the Void, you can regain your power by devouring other Herrscher cores."

It may seem like a long way around, but it is the shortest way for the Herrscher of the Void to recover his strength.

"Shut up!" The Herrscher of the Void waved her hand violently, and a spatial rift exploded in front of Yu Zhe, swallowing up all the instruments on the lab table. Her chest heaved violently, and her voice was filled with suppressed anger: "You are insulting me! My identity as the Herrscher of the Void is the reason for my existence!"

She is a being born from the evil of Sirin, a natural Herrscher of the Void. She represents the Herrscher of the Void side of Sirin.

And the man in front of her actually asked her to give up her identity as Sora No Ritsu? !

What a joke!

This is simply a denial and insult to her existence!

If she isn't the Herrscher of the Void, then what is she?!

Just thinking of this, a trace of fear rose involuntarily in the heart of the Herrscher of the Sky.

Yu Zhe looked at the destroyed instrument and sighed softly.

He raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly on the Herrscher of the Void. "I'm not denying your existence. Quite the contrary. This method will allow you to truly gain freedom, no longer bound by anyone. You can become even more powerful than you are now."

"Oh, freedom? Do you think I will believe such nonsense? What you humans are best at is deception and betrayal!" The Herrscher of the Sky's expression was uncertain. She stared at Yu Zhe, as if trying to see some clues from his eyes.

Yu Zhe did not refute immediately, but looked at her quietly.

After a long time, the Herrscher of the Void finally couldn't hold back any longer, "What... do you mean?" There was a tremor in her voice as she sought an answer, an answer that could put her mind at ease.

Yu Zhe did not directly answer the Herrscher of the Void's question, but instead asked, "I need you to answer my question now."

He looked directly into the Herrscher of the Void's eyes and asked, word by word, "What exactly do you want? Simple power, or... a true, perfect vessel?"

The Herrscher of the Sky's expression froze.

Yu Zhe continued slowly, his voice like a sharp sword piercing her heart, "Do you want to gain power after revenge, or do you want to complete revenge after gaining power?"

The Herrscher of the Sky's body trembled slightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.

This question was like a key, trying to open the lock that she was most reluctant to face deep in her heart.

All along, she had only been pursuing power, searching for ways to make herself stronger. But now, when this question was placed before her, she found herself unable to come up with an immediate answer.

The desire for revenge and the thirst for power are constantly colliding and intertwining...

She wanted to retort, but found that she couldn't answer immediately.

"Don't be so anxious to answer me." Yu Zhe looked at the Herrscher of the Void and said, "What you need now is time to think, and what we lack the least is time..."

Yu Zhe knew very well that this was a question that the Ruler of the Void needed to think about and decide for herself. All he could do was give her enough time and space to find her own answer.

188 Destiny and the Movement of the World Serpent

At this time in the Mission Headquarters, Otto was looking at the action report and video footage of this mission submitted by Rita.

"It's really unexpected." Otto tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

He picked up the red wine glass on the table and took a sip elegantly, but his eyes never left the image on the screen.

That image was exactly the image of Siegfried and Yu Zhe joining forces to fight against the Herrscher of the Sky.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, do you need me to explain the details of this mission to you in detail?" Rita stood respectfully aside, with her hands folded in front of her.

"No need." Otto waved his hand and smiled meaningfully. "This operation has brought me quite a few surprises."

His gaze lingered on the Heavenly Fire Judge in Siegfried's hand, his expression gradually deepening. "Handing over the Heavenly Fire Judge to a woman of unknown origin... Siegfried, is this the solution you came up with?"

In the image, the woman with white hair and blue eyes was skillfully wielding the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire. Her smooth movements made Otto narrow his eyes slightly.

He was very afraid of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire because its power was too strong.

And with the existence of Siegfried as an unstable factor, this becomes one of the unstable factors in Otto's plan.

But the woman in the video seemed to be more skilled in using Judgment of Heavenly Fire than Siegfried, and could ignore its side effects.

"Interesting... Really interesting." He put down his glass and placed his fingers together on his chin. "He can so easily control the power of the Holy Tribunal of Heavenly Fire, but it's not in my database..."

In Otto's database, he did not find any relevant information about this woman, as if this woman had appeared out of thin air.

But the appearance of the person with white hair and blue eyes undoubtedly means that he is from the Kaslana family.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, do you need me to send someone to investigate the origins of this woman?" Rita asked at the right time.

Otto shook his head slightly and turned his gaze to the masked figure in the image.

"Compared to her, I care more about... him. Yu Zhe, you finally showed your strength..."

Although the other person was wearing a mask, Otto could be sure that he was Yu Zhe.

The masked man in the video was engaged in a fierce battle with the Herrscher of the Void. His effortless demeanor made Otto frown slightly. "Can he go head-on with the Herrscher... the strongest?" He murmured in a low voice, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

This is not good news.

Possessing the power to fight against the Herrscher of the Void meant that the other party might become an unstable factor in his plan.

As for K423's awakening, Otto was not surprised at all.

Rather, k423 really didn't disappoint him...

When the scene switched to Sakura and Yae Sakura, Otto's expression finally showed a noticeable change.

Otto stared thoughtfully at the holographic projection of Yaezakura. "A being who should have vanished into history, a shrine maiden inextricably linked to Kallen..."

Otto sighed. His feelings towards Yae Sakura had always been complicated.

Kallen once admitted that she was in love with this Herrscher, but Otto was her fiancé...

This was undoubtedly a Minotaur act for Otto, but if Yae Sakura had not saved Kallen in the Far East, Kallen might have died long ago.

Then Otto might not even be able to see Kari for the last time.

Otto thanks Yae Sakura for saving Kallen, but feels overwhelmed by the fact that Kallen has fallen in love with Yae Sakura.

As for Sakura...

"Fu Hua...my old friend, how many secrets are you still hiding?"

Ying seems to be from the same generation as Fu Hua.

Although Otto didn't know much about his old friend Fu Hua, he knew very well that Fu Hua was a survivor of the previous civilization 50,000 years ago.

The previous civilization left behind many plans after its collapse...

Fifty thousand years...such a long time, enough for a civilization to be born and destroyed.

What is Ying Yiji and Yu Zhe planning?

The appearance of Ying and Yu Zhe's identity forced Otto to consider whether the previous civilization was still carrying out other plans, and whether this plan would affect his next actions?

Otto fell into deep thought.

"Heroes of the former civilization, what game are you playing? And how can I turn you into my pawns?"

"One variable after another..." Otto leaned back in his chair. "This chess game is really getting more and more interesting."

A moment later, Otto retrieved the information of two people from the computer and smiled at Dr. Maki in the computer.

Since I don't understand what the other party wants to do, I might as well test it out first. By the way, I can advance K423's awakening progress and verify the extent of her ability.

On the other side, in the underground base of World Serpent, Gray Snake stood alone in front of the holographic projection, his cold mechanical mask reflecting the blue light of the projection.

The projection clearly showed Sakura fighting. She was moving across the battlefield with a katana in hand, and every slash was made with heart-pounding precision and grace.

He was also thinking about the same question.

"This is impossible..." Gray Snake whispered to himself, with obvious confusion in his voice. That familiar posture and swordsmanship pricked his memory.

He called up the database of the previous civilization and repeatedly compared Sakura's various data characteristics.

Gray Snake knows Sakura better than Otto who she is. She is the murderer who has killed her countless times, one of the heroes of the previous civilization, and someone who should have died in the Herrscher Corrosion incident long ago.

"Why is she here? A clone? A duplicate or just someone who looks alike?" Gray Snake wasn't sure.

"You have to calm down first..." Gray Snake took a deep breath and turned off all the projections. The whole room suddenly fell into darkness, with only the red light on his mask flickering.

Suddenly, the gray snake raised its head abruptly, its eyes shining brightly.

He thought of a possibility, that is, in addition to the Stigma Project, the Spark Project, and the Ark Project, the previous civilization also carried out other plans.

"A plan unknown to everyone..." Gray Snake muttered to himself, turning back on the projection and pulling up a list of all known plans of the previous civilization. "The most terrifying thing is, if this plan had continued until now..."

Gray Snake's finger hovered in mid-air, not dropping. The entire room was eerily quiet, with only the faint hum of electronic equipment.

So who will be the executor?

"Yu Zhe..." Yu Zhe's information immediately appeared on the projection, and Gray Snake stared at the photo intently.

If this is the case, all the questions seem to be explained.

Gray Snake suddenly let out a shrill electronic laugh that echoed in the empty underground base.

"Interesting, really interesting... It seems that I need to have a good talk with the Lord."

189 Bronya: Where did my big breasts go?!

"It seems you haven't figured it out yet." Yu Zhe looked at the Herrscher of the Void, whose brows furrowed slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. He raised his hand and glanced at his watch. "Is it this late already? She should be waking up soon..."

The Herrscher of the Sky raised his golden eyes and glanced at him coldly: "Who are you talking about?"

"Just a child." Yu Zhe didn't answer directly, but just straightened his collar. "I have something to go out and deal with first."

He paused, his tone becoming serious. "If you've made up your mind, feel free to call me. Don't move around casually during this time."

The Herrscher of the Void raised his lips in a sarcastic arc: "Why? Afraid that I'll run away?"

"No." Yu Zhe shook his head, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "I'm afraid you'll meet Siegfried. That girl isn't as easy to talk to as me. If she finds out about your existence..." He deliberately didn't finish his words, letting the threat linger in the air.

The Herrscher of the Void hummed softly, his slender fingers unconsciously stroking the bed sheet: "I understand."

Yu Zhe took a last look at her, turned around and left the room. The moment he closed the door, he heard an almost inaudible sigh from inside.

The light from the corridor stretched his shadow very long.

Yu Zhe rubbed his temples, and a third option emerged in his mind - that was the last resort that he was unwilling to use.

There's no need to create a new body, but the price is to completely obliterate Kiana's will. Just like in the original story, after Kiana accepted Sirin's past, she destroyed the Herrscher of the Void and became the Herrscher of Fire and Flame.

If the Herrscher of the Sky can accept his new life, he can also be like Kiana in the plot.

However, given the Herrscher of the Void's personality, this should be difficult to achieve.

It is difficult for humans, who are born as blank sheets of paper, to become kind after education. How can he expect the Ruler of the Void, who is an extension of evil, to let go of hatred and embrace his own new life?

And Kiana is able to accept her past because she has the support of Mei, Bronya, Theresa and others, which makes Kiana know that no one will abandon her even after she becomes Sirin.

But what about the Herrscher of the Void?

Apart from Bella, there was no one behind her. If she lost her identity as the Herrscher of the Sky, she would be nothing.

Others cannot accept the existence of the Herrscher of the Void, so how can the Herrscher of the Void accept Kiana?

"How ironic..."

Even though they are essentially extensions of the same person, they still cannot achieve the same results.

Yu Zhe sighed as he opened the door and walked into another room.

Warm sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the floor of the room, and the air was filled with the faint scent of disinfectant. He saw Bronya sitting on the bed, her long, silver-gray hair draped somewhat messily over her shoulders, her emotionless eyes now looking a little lost.

"Hello, Bronya, how was your sleep?"

Bronya didn't answer immediately. She lowered her head, her slender fingers gently stroking her chest, her brows slightly furrowed.

"So peaceful..." she murmured to herself, with a hint of complexity in her voice.

The light feeling on her chest made her feel a little dazed.

Where did her big breasts go?!

In the world of Tsukuyomi, she experienced another life.

In that world, her mother Cocolia's plan succeeded, and Raiden Mei awakened and became the Herrscher of Thunder. She was ordered to hunt down the Herrscher of Thunder, but in the end she became the Valkyrie of Destiny...
