Firefly, I want to be a Sanyo Hermit

"So that's how it is. Is this a way to restrict these Honkai beasts and the dead soldiers?" After listening to Theresa's description, Kiana nodded in understanding.

In the 'original world', the Valkyries had many devices to restrict these Honkai beasts and dead soldiers.

Valkyrie armor and some weapons will be equipped with two types of 'space-time systems', namely the [Space-Time Fracture System] and the [Space-Time Shackle System]. The principles of the two are the same, but their scope of action is completely different. The [Space-Time Shackle System] is specifically used to restrict monsters that possess [Fragments of the Power of Space].

"Of course I have a way, but..." Kiana smiled wickedly. "Why should I tell you?"

Kiana crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her head towards Theresa and asked.

"Although I have no ill intentions, it does not mean that I will help 'humans'. After all, I am a Herrscher."

In fact, given Kiana's personality, since Theresa mentioned this thing she hadn't thought of before, she would naturally help.

Kiana will help Tianming develop the [Space-Time Fracture System] and the [Space-Time Shackles System].

But! Before helping, can she tease Theresa?

"This..." Kiana's words left Theresa speechless.

Indeed, Kiana is a Herrscher and has no obligation to help humans.

It can even be said that as a Herrscher, Kiana did not participate in the destruction of civilization and even stopped Sirin. Her contribution to mankind has already skyrocketed.

Moreover, the current Tianming probably can't come up with anything that can interest Kiana.

Suddenly, Theresa's eyes lit up. She bent down and whispered something to Xiao Qibao's ear.

Theresa spoke very softly, and even with Kiana's hearing, she couldn't hear clearly what Theresa said.

But it doesn’t matter. Seeing Theresa’s behavior, Kiana knew what she was going to let Xiao Qibao do.

Just as Kiana thought, after Theresa finished talking to Xiao Qibao, she held up Xiao Qibao and "handed" Xiao Qibao to Kiana.

"Pretty auntie, please help Aunt Theresa, please, please."

"Hmm?" Xilin, who was watching TV nearby, heard Xiao Qibao's voice and turned her head to look over.

"Why didn't I notice it?" Suddenly, Xilin's pupils trembled.

This Kiana guy comes from a parallel world, but Sirin doesn’t quite understand what a parallel world is. However, with her recent development of her powers, she has also gained a certain understanding of the concept of parallel worlds.

Before, Xilin had always overlooked a very important factor, namely "time".

She had always believed that Kiana had simply traveled from her own world, ignoring the time difference between the two worlds.

Just now, when she heard Xiao Qibao's coquettish voice, Xilin suddenly discovered that Xiao Qibao's tone was exactly the same as when Kiana begged for mercy before.

Plus, little Qibao's name is also Kiana...

"This guy... is actually this little brat? ! "

A.63 Kiana is having a hard time deciding

"If she is this little brat... then... it all makes sense."

After thinking about this key point, Xilin found that many things made sense.

Why is Kiana so nice to that woman named Cecilia? Because she is her mother.

And before that, I went to Siberia specifically to find that...what's her name...anyway, that gray-haired woman. That woman should be the one Kiana met in the future.

The same thing happened when I went to Changkong City before...

But why is she so nice to herself?

Everything else could be explained, but this was the only thing Xilin really couldn't understand.

If Kiana hadn't traveled through time, in a 'world without Kiana', there was no way I would have known this little brat.

This also means that in "Kiana's world", there is no intersection between her and him.

If that’s the case...why does Kiana have her own Herrscher core, and why did she say, "I came to this world, perhaps to protect you" after coming to this world?

Although this sentence sounded like a joke, Xilin could feel the seriousness of Kiana when she said it.

"I can't figure it out..." Xilin pressed her forehead. "This guy has so many secrets..."

Xilin looked over there again, and seeing Kiana playing with little Qibao, she felt an inexplicable gloom in her heart that wouldn't go away.

Xilin didn't understand where her depression came from.

Perhaps it was because Kiana knew him very well, while he knew almost nothing about her, which brought about the sense of disparity.

----

"Since Qibao said so, then of course I will help." Holding little Qibao in her arms, Kiana said to Theresa.

Although she had no idea how many times she had hugged little Qibao, the soft touch was so great that she simply couldn't let go.

"That's great." With Kiana's response, Theresa breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no other way around this. The Honkai Beasts and Death Soldiers who possess various abilities of instant teleportation and phase shift are simply too terrifying. Although the Valkyrie possesses impressive combat power, her combat power is usually reflected in the offensive aspect.

In other words...even if the Valkyrie herself is blessed with Honkai energy, she is still as fragile as a piece of paper against the attacks of Honkai beasts and the Death Soldiers.

"But I have to make it clear in advance." Kiana raised her index finger, indicating that she was going to get to the point. "Although there are indeed countermeasures, these methods do not always work, and they are also likely to evolve the ability to resist."

In the 'original world', there are some Honkai beasts that can resist [Time and Space Breaks] and [Time and Space Shackles].

For example, [Macrocosmos], [Space-Time Ripper], etc. Although they will be controlled by [Space-Time Fracture] to a certain extent, compared with other similar ones, the control effect is almost negligible.

"Not only that, if you want to counter them, you have to seize their gaps... such as the moment they attack."

Although Kiana has been a Herrscher for some time, she has been a Valkyrie for even longer.

[Time and Space Break] is of 'wide range' nature, which allows the Valkyrie to fight against Honkai beasts and Death Soldiers more easily, but [Time and Space Break] is ineffective against many special Honkai beasts and Death Soldiers.

[Space-Time Shackles] completely compresses the energy of the 'wide area' into an individual, so its effectiveness is multiplied. Even special Honkai beasts like the [Great Universe] will be controlled by the [Space-Time Shackles]. However, the only 'disadvantage' of the [Space-Time Shackles] is that it must be launched at the right time and at the moment of their attack in order to accurately control them.

"It's enough. It's much better than having no ability to counter." Theresa is not an ungrateful person. She is grateful that Kiana can provide her with countermeasures.

Although Kiana said that there were "shortcomings", such shortcomings were nothing in Theresa's eyes.

"Then I'll find a chance to help you solve it later." Although Kiana has agreed to help, she herself doesn't know how Tianming developed the [Space-Time System]...

Um... to be precise, Kiana knew that Skyrim's [Space-Time System] was developed by studying Sirin's Herrscher core and remains. If she used her power, Kiana could also easily unfold [Space-Time Fracture].

But how to use technology to reproduce this ability... This involves Kiana's blind spot in knowledge. If it were Bronya, it would be easily solved, but she is not Bronya, let alone the [Hersher of Reason].

----

After sending Xiao Qibao and Theresa away, Kiana once again returned to her 'dead bug' state, lying limply on the sofa.

"Xilin~ You haven't said a word since just now." Kiana moved her body and moved to Xilin's side.

"What?" Xilin was still watching the show on TV.

But in fact, ever since Xilin discovered Kiana's 'true identity', she no longer had the heart to watch TV.

"Um...nothing." Kiana stood up, thought for a moment, and then lay down again.

"Hello, Kiana." Suddenly, Xilin raised her hand to turn off the TV, turned her head and stared at Kiana.

"Ah? What's wrong?" Seeing that Xilin seemed to have something very important to tell her, Kiana twisted her body and sat up straight.

"In your own world...what kind of person is the other me?" Originally, Xilin wanted to question Kiana directly, but when the words came to her lips, she inexplicably changed the subject.

"Another you?" Kiana showed a subtle expression on her face. "Well...how should I put it..."

Speaking of understanding, Kiana certainly understands 'Sirin'.

But it is too difficult to evaluate "Xilin". After all, her life is divided into too many parts, making it difficult to evaluate her.

"Forget it." Xilin raised her hand again, interrupting Kiana's brewing comment.

"Uh..." Kiana raised her eyebrows. "What's going on?"

"Kiana, the last time I asked you if you noticed that you were a lot like that little guy, how did you answer?" Xilin wondered whether to use a roundabout way to get Kiana to talk.

But... Sirin's level of eloquence can be said to be negative, so as soon as she opened her mouth, Kiana understood that Sirin must have discovered something.

But here comes the problem...

"Should I tell Celine that I am 'Kiana' or 'K-423'..."

For a moment, Kiana was at a loss for words.

A.64 Xilin, I didn't lie

Kiana's true identity is too complicated, at least for Xilin.

Although Qiana didn't want to lie to Xilin, how could she explain her identity to Xilin?

Am I you who was reincarnated after death?

It sounds weird no matter how you listen to it, right?

"Actually, that little girl is you, right?" Silin saw that Kiana was silent, and after a moment Silin spoke again. "Although she is still young, you look almost exactly the same."

"...Not really." Kiana shook her head. "To be precise, she is my sister."

"..." Hearing what Kiana said, Xilin widened her eyes and exclaimed in disbelief. "What?!"

Xilin was not a very calm person to begin with, and she was shocked that her unwavering belief was wrong.

This news was completely unexpected by Xilin. She initially thought that Kiana and Xiao Qibao were the same person. After all, in Xilin's view, Kiana came from the "parallel world of the future world line", so she should be Xiao Qibao from the parallel world.

But Kiana's words made Xilin's heart tremble.

Because she immediately realized the true meaning behind Kiana's words.

Although Xilin and Xiao Qibao didn't seem to get along well at ordinary times, after spending more time together, Xilin still liked Xiao Qibao very much.

She was just not very good at expressing herself, but in Xilin's heart, Xiao Qibao was already considered "one of her own". Xilin even sometimes called her "Qibao" in private instead of always "little brat" or "little guy".

Before, she was thinking whether she could use the name "Qibao" to tease Kiana, which would be very interesting.

And now, Kiana actually said that she is not Xiao Qibao, that Xiao Qibao is her biological sister...

They look so similar, which is enough to prove that they are indeed related by blood...

Kiana's name is the same as Xiao Qibao's, and the younger sister and the older sister have the same name, so the meaning is very obvious.

Considering these conditions, this means that the little Qibao from 'Kiana World' is no longer there.

"I understand." Xilin pursed her lips and then sighed. "Is this the reason why you have been running around in a hurry since you came to this world?"

"Yes." Kiana nodded. "As a 'traveler', I want to rewrite those 'destined tragedies' in the future to the best of my ability."

'This includes helping me, right? ' Xilin thought to herself.

She is not a fool, and of course she knows very well what the situation is like with 'Xilin in Kiana's world'.

It is a fact that Kiana has the [Hersher of the Void Core] in her body.

But Kiana also mentioned to me that the 'complete Herrscher power' is unique.

That is to say, there is only one Herrscher with the same power.

Although there are seemingly exceptions such as the [Law Ruler], in essence, there is still only one [Power of Domination].

This means that the core that Kiana possesses originally belongs to "Xilin".

As a Herrscher, 'Sirin' has lost her core, which means that 'Sirin' in 'Kiana's World' must have died long ago.

"Then you have to work hard." After finally figuring out Kiana's true identity, Xilin couldn't help but pursed her lips and revealed a satisfied smile.

Every time her identity was mentioned before, Kiana concealed something from her, which was why Xilin always had some doubts about Kiana.

It also made Xilin very uncomfortable. After all, she seemed to have no secrets in front of Kiana, and Kiana was like a mystery, and she knew nothing about her.

And this time, Kiana finally revealed her identity.

It’s just that Kiana’s identity is indeed a bit complicated, so Xilin can understand why Kiana wants to hide it.

"I'm sorry, Sirin... I really don't want to lie." Kiana apologized silently in her heart. "It's just that my identity is too strange for you."
