……

Arriving at the emergency exit, both of them were fully armed. Jizi carried a large sword on her shoulder and said, "Theresa, if the situation is urgent, allow me to use the Nexus system permissions. By the way, is there any problem with the monitoring system in the carriage? Can we know the number of the other side?"

"Let me see... There is no problem with the monitoring system and it can be used normally... Could it be that the other party has hacked into our system? Otherwise, how could they make such a mistake?" Theresa expanded her highest authority, connected to the St. Freya Academy system, and retrieved the monitoring authority of the emergency channel system.

"Ah... the picture is showing, it seems there are only three people... wait! Those two girls!" Theresa unfolded the surveillance picture and after a rough look she found there were only three people. However, when Theresa saw two white-haired girls among them, her eyes widened.

"Two? How could there be two?" Theresa looked at the familiar faces in the picture in shock. A very good yet bad premonition appeared in Theresa's mind.

Chapter 48: Growing Up, Kiana

“Theresa…Theresa!!”

"Hey! What's wrong, Jizi?" Theresa, who had been in shock, finally came back to reality when Jizi shook her.

"Theresa...looking at you, do you know the people inside?" Ji Zi put down the sword. She of course noticed that something was wrong with Theresa, and said.

"Well...the people inside shouldn't be our enemies...but...I'm not sure." Theresa said in a low voice.

"Let me take a look. Hmm... they shouldn't be our enemies. There are two people inside wearing the uniforms of the Destiny... Although we can't judge at the first sight that they are definitely people from the Destiny, but judging from your situation, Theresa... their identity as the Destiny should not be fake." Ji Zi looked at Theresa and said.

"Those two people... should be from the headquarters... I don't know what grandpa is planning. First he sent the Glow Team over, and now... and the two have met..." Theresa said with a unhappy look on her face.

"So what are their identities?" Ji Zi asked.

"They... are my nieces... They are all..." Theresa said in a depressed mood.

"Your nieces? Then you should be happy, right? How come... don't they have a very good relationship with you?" Ji Zi asked.

"It's too complicated to explain this matter in a short time. Alas...what is coming will come. Leave it to me this time. Jizi, you just watch from the side... Jizi, you should know some things." Theresa said seriously, which was rare for her.

Theresa's uncharacteristic behavior made Jizi feel a little uneasy. She knew very well that her best friend looked unremarkable and carefree on the surface, but she was always hiding some unknown secrets and silently enduring. Therefore, facing Theresa who seemed particularly serious at the moment, Jizi was also silent and stopped asking questions, then took a step back and let Theresa take charge of the next matter.

"Ding--" the sound of the carriage arriving at the station rang out. The carriage slowly opened and a man and two women walked out.

Naturally, the three were sisters Wang Chen and Kiana. Wang Chen and Kiana walked in front, while Kiana followed behind them, occasionally sticking her head out to look ahead.

At a glance, Kiana saw two women with heavy auras not far ahead. They were fully armed, with serious expressions, staring at her without blinking. Kiana couldn't help swallowing her saliva, approached Wang Chen, and said, "Brother-in-law, the other party is not friendly."

Wang Chen glanced at Qiana and said, "Xiaoqi, you are the one who is here."

"Xiao Qi, that is our aunt." [Kiana] pointed at the two people in front and said.

"Ah? She is my aunt?" Kiana looked forward and noticed the other person. As expected, she was her aunt. She was majestic and powerful. At first glance, she was a symbol of a powerful Valkyrie. She also wanted to become like her aunt.

"Xiao Qi, go ahead and recognize your relatives first." [Kiana] patted Kiana's shoulder and said.

"Oh... let me brew it for a while..." Kiana took a deep breath, feeling that her emotions were almost brewing, then her eyes turned slightly red, and she started to run straight towards the two people in front of her.

"Aunt!" Kiana's voice, with a hint of tears, reached the ears of Theresa and Himeko from afar. Himeko was fine, but Theresa's eyes also began to turn red. "This child... should be the one that Siegfried took away... Although it's not the real one... but he must have suffered a lot while wandering outside." Theresa thought to herself, and couldn't help but open her arms to hug Kiana who was running towards her.

"puff"

"Wow... Auntie, I finally see you!" Kiana threw herself on the Auntie in her heart, put her face in the chest of "Auntie", and felt the motherly love from "Auntie". Wait... chest? Motherly love? Is this what Theresa has?

At this moment, among the four people around, Wang Chen held his forehead with his hand, [Kiana] couldn't help laughing, Ji Zi scratched her face with embarrassment and looked at Theresa, who was stretching out her hands with a dull expression, looking like a petrified person.

If you ask Theresa how she felt, it was probably like she was playing a game of Werewolf, and then she managed to prove herself to be a good person, but was stepped on by Kiana, whom she thought was a perfect good person, and was voted out by her.

Theresa, you are not even a aunt! Just look at your appearance! You are short and small! Vote for Theresa, she is wearing the clothes of my aunt (referring to Ji Zi)! Look at Ji Zi, she is a "big" aunt (referring to the turbulent waves)! Vote for Theresa, vote for Theresa! Vote for Theresa out!

Maybe this is how Kiana thinks.

……

"Um... sorry... I really didn't know you were the auntie... I thought that auntie was..." Kiana was also helpless. That was her auntie, shouldn't she be old? Who would have thought that it would be this short and cute child in front of her? Normal people would choose Himeko. Kiana said she would not take the blame.

"Auntie..." Ji Zi's face darkened slightly. After all, Ji Zi also had a woman's self-esteem and a love of beauty. Being called auntie was a very unhappy thing.

“Stop talking. I know I’m short and small… but what can I do… Who else knows the pain of me not being able to grow up… Woo woo…” Theresa squatted on the ground and couldn’t get up. She had completely lost her previous serious temperament. Instead, she looked more like a childish kid.

"Okay, Auntie, don't be sad... Sister and brother-in-law, don't just watch the show, come and persuade Auntie?" Kiana scratched her head. She was helpless with the crying child, so she had to ask Wang Chen and [Kiana] for help.

"Wait, what are you calling? Sister? Brother-in-law?!!" Theresa stood up suddenly and looked at the other white-haired ball and Wang Chen standing beside her with a look of surprise.

"Nice to meet you, auntie. I'm Kiana Shaniyat." Kiana said with a smile, stretching out her hand.

However, when Kiana extended her hand, Theresa did not immediately hold it. Instead, she felt guilty and hesitated... Finally, Theresa came to Kiana and said with her head down: "Shaniat... huh? Kiana, are you really blaming me and Siegfried?"

Seeing this scene, Wang Chen took a step back and gave the home court to Kiana. He came to Kiana's side instead. After all, what the two of them were going to say next might very likely irritate Kiana, so out of concern, Wang Chen came to Kiana first.

However, after Kiana sensed Wang Chen's arrival, she just smiled foolishly at Wang Chen, and then quietly held Wang Chen's hand. After Wang Chen felt the warm feedback, he established a connection with Kiana. Then he heard Kiana's inner voice saying, "Brother-in-law, are you worried about me?"

"Huh?" Wang Chen was slightly stunned when he saw Kiana react.

"After all... I can probably guess it... The stories of the previous generation, about me, and my sister... must have been very painful and complicated, so they would look at me and my sister with that expression... Whether it's my stinky dad, my newly recognized aunt, or even my sister and brother-in-law, it's all the same. You all know the truth, you have so much on your shoulders, but you still act as if you don't care, and you don't want to hurt me... Kiana knows it..."

"Xiao Qi...you..."

"It's okay, brother-in-law... I'm not that fragile... I think I should be able to bear the truth. Even if I can't bear it all, I can always bear part of it. Alas... Really, you really underestimated me. But... brother-in-law... thank you." The voice in her heart came intermittently, but the firm will had already been clearly told to Wang Chen.

Even Wang Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Without him knowing, Kiana had grown a lot... Was it the effect of the light ball? Or was this how Kiana should have been, the light ball, just untied? Wang Chen didn't know, but Wang Chen knew that he could rest assured. After patting Kiana's head to show encouragement, the two looked at Theresa and Kiana together, waiting for Kiana's reaction.

Chapter 49 Otto's Plan

Seeing Theresa bowing her head to apologize, Kiana also seemed a little silent. Kiana knew in her heart that she was not the Kiana of this world after all, and the real Kiana of this world had already died many years ago...

Although her soul has now merged with the cloned individual codenamed K423, continuing her life in another form, after all, the person that Theresa should have apologized to is no longer here.

Blame? Kiana herself was already familiar with the story of this world. The initiator of this tragedy was undoubtedly the blond man. And the biggest culprit of this tragedy was undoubtedly that guy. But in the end, it was everyone involved who created this tragic story.

Kiana shouldn't have taken the initiative to get involved with her father when she had no ability to protect herself, so that when the accident finally happened, she became the source of all subsequent tragedies.

As a father, Siegfried did not realize the danger of infiltration and easily agreed to his daughter's request to infiltrate into the Skyfate together. In the process, he failed to fulfill his father's responsibility to protect his daughter.

After the accident, Siegfried never had any doubts about his daughter's death, and he didn't even think about finding and taking back his daughter's remains! He just cowardly drank alcohol and tried to numb himself. If it weren't for K Qi's sincere heart that touched Siegfried later, he might have lived in such a muddle for the rest of his life.

As a collaborator, Theresa failed to be alert to the blond man's plot against her and leaked the information that Siegfried had betrayed her destiny. As Kiana's aunt, she chose to escape to St. Freya's Academy because of her cowardice. For many years, she never asked about Kiana who was in her destiny. She even equated Kiana with death in her heart, even though Otto had personally told her that Kiana was still alive (the script in Eternal Memories is really a mess).

Wang Chen also knew this story, especially the subsequent plot where Dai E revealed Zhen Qi's identity... Tsk, it's hard to describe. The two parties were not too surprised by Zhen Qi's return, and they didn't even show basic guilt! Siegfried was better, but Theresa was simply... Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. We have already come to the real world of collapse. Looking at Theresa now, isn't she very normal?

Kiana thought about it for a long time, thinking about what she would do if she was the real Kiana in this world. But in the end, Kiana gave up the idea... After all, she was not the Kiana in this world, so she could neither forgive the other party on Kiana's behalf nor hate the other party on Kiana's behalf. She could only rely on Xiaoqi to slowly accept it.

Therefore, [Kiana] simply said: "Aunt, let's put the past here for the time being. You just need to know, and even Xiaoqi should know, that the former Kiana has been left to fate by you and ignored for too long, too long..."

"Kiana...it's just because we all thought you had..." Theresa was about to explain something when she was interrupted by Kiana's words.

"Okay, Aunt, since I still call you Aunt and am willing to come to see you, let's leave what happened in the past in the past. We all have to look forward and can't continue to be immersed in the past, right?" [Kiana] said with a smile.

"Okay... okay... that's fine. Let's leave the past behind for now. Now and in the future, I will make up for the mistakes I made in the past. Kiana, I promise you. Even in your opinion, I, your aunt, have no credibility anymore." Theresa tried hard to hold back her trembling body, and finally revealed a bitter smile, nodded, patted her chest and assured Kiana.

……

Destiny Headquarters

At this moment, Otto Apokalis looked at the information uploaded to him by the Glow Team with a faint smile on his face.

"A Valkyrie who can manipulate the power of thunder and lightning, who calls herself B-class but has actually reached A-class level... According to the information sent by the informant from Anti-Entropy, the mysterious person who broke into ME Society was her. And the other one, this man, named Wang Chen, claims to be the captain of the Hyperion." Otto took a look and then put it down.

"I remember who the current captain of the Hyperion is... Oh, he's a member of Ragnar's stormtroopers. Her name is Himeko." Otto turned on the projection panel and pulled up Himeko's file information.

"The Far East branch... That's Little Theresa's..."

"Lord Otto, the emergency passage at the Far East branch was just used, and the emergency carriage was heading from Changkong City to the Far East branch." Amber invoked her authority and said after noticing the intelligence feedback sent by the Far East branch.

"From Changkong City to the Far East Branch, right? Amber, how is the monitoring system of the emergency passage?"

"Everything is normal and can be called up at any time." Amber projected the surveillance footage in the carriage onto the big screen, and the three people in the carriage were naturally seen by Otto Apokalis.

"Two K423s? No... the other one is a little different." Otto lowered his head and thought, paying close attention to the movements of the three people. When they came out, Otto also reflected on their encounters with Theresa and Himeko.

"Kiana Shaniyat. Haha, is that how you call yourself?" Through the sound wave collection of the surrounding monitors, the conversation between several people was quickly transmitted to Otto's ears.

After the five people left, Otto Apokalis closed his eyes and began to think.

Finally, Otto opened his eyes, began to call upon his authority, and then issued an order: "Amber, create three files, A-class Valkyrie Scarlet, Hyperion Captain Wang Chen, and S-class Valkyrie Kiana Shaniyate, and set up their complete set of identity information, without any flaws... Especially Captain Wang Chen and Kiana Shaniyate."

"Yes... But Bishop, why do you care so much about these two people?" Amber asked with some confusion.

"Before, I asked Rita and Yulandel to carry out the mission of exploring the Quantum Sea. After completing the mission, they brought me detailed information about the Quantum Sea..." Otto's eyes were sharp as he recalled the information that Rita and Yulandel had reported to him. Let's not talk about Yulandel's information for now, but he got a very interesting piece of information from Rita.

It’s called the essence of the quantum world and the imaginary world!

In a normal plot, Otto should not learn this information until two years later when he obtains information about the previous civilization from Yulandel, but he learned it from Rita too early now.

Therefore, Otto knew that the so-called world bubble and parallel world really existed. However, because he did not obtain Su's Sumeru mustard seed to observe the parallel world, Otto was particularly interested in these two people who obviously traveled from other parallel worlds to his own world.

And because of their illegal status as time travelers, what they lacked most was a reasonable proof of identity. Otto could provide this proof.

Of course, Otto is not so kind as to help the other party. Since the other party has assumed the identity of the destiny, and the strength currently displayed by the other party is not stronger than the resources in Otto's hands, then the other party must be controlled and arranged by the destiny. This is the rule called power.

That’s right, the first purpose of Otto’s giving identities was to recruit these two time travelers... Of course, maybe the Valkyrie named Scarlet should also be a time traveler.

In this way, Otto was somewhat curious and wanted to see how many more travelers the man named Wang Chen could bring. In addition, Otto was also very interested in his technology of traveling through parallel worlds. Otto had a feeling that this might be the key technology for him to find a way to revive Kallen.

Chapter 50 Otto's Appearance

Theresa and her group returned to Theresa's own principal's office. Theresa took two or three steps with her short legs, then climbed onto the chair, put her feet on the office chair, and stood up high to highlight her height. (Mainly because she sat down, the table could block Theresa's face)

Theresa rested her hands on the table, and after thinking for a while, she said, "So [Kiana], and your... boyfriend. The purpose of your coming here today should not only be to bring Xiaoqi here to recognize your relatives. I noticed from the beginning that you seemed to have something to say."

"Well, actually, we are here to seek your help, Auntie." [Kiana] said.

"Aid? What's going on?" Theresa asked.

"Let each of us explain this... The story starts from..." So Wang Chen, Kiana and [Kiana] each told Theresa about the current situation of Changkong City, the layout of Anti-Entropy Cocolia, and the situation of Raiden Mei.

After hearing the news, Theresa and Ji Zi both looked very unhappy. They didn't expect that the area under their jurisdiction would have such a big mess. Theresa slammed the table and shouted, "Anti-Entropy, are you trying to declare war on Destiny? No, we can't let these guys do whatever they want in this city! The life of a city! How dare they!"

"Jizi, gather all the combatants immediately and prepare to go to Changkong City. Remember to use the emergency passage. After arriving in Changkong City, keep your troops in place. Jizi, please lead the team to investigate which of our combat bases in Changkong City have not been controlled by the enemy. Once you find them, move into the combat bases and wait for the next instruction."

"Yes!" Jizi nodded and left the office quickly. Theresa also fell to the ground with some worry, thinking about her next move.

"No... In addition to the anti-entropy, now it's about the Great Collapse and the Herrscher. This is no longer something that the Far East Branch can solve independently. According to the feedback you just gave me, it can be seen that... the third Great Collapse may really come to Changkong City! I must inform the Destiny Headquarters of this news immediately!"

Theresa opened her permission panel and prepared to contact the Tianming headquarters, but suddenly Theresa stopped and said, "Wait a minute, didn't you come to Changkong City from the Tianming headquarters? What does grandpa mean? Did he know about this a long time ago?"

Theresa looked at Wang Chen and [Kiana]. However, Wang Chen was also a little troubled. Theresa seemed to be more difficult to fool than he had imagined when she was serious. She was so sharp that she could analyze the problem. After all, they were just Westerners and did not come from the headquarters of Tianming at all.

Therefore, Wang Chen can only hope that Kiana will have some adequate plan to deal with this matter.

But before Kiana could speak, an unexpected person appeared...

“Ding ding ding ding… ding ding ding ding… From the highest authority communication.”

However, a message popped up directly on Theresa's permission operation panel. Theresa was shocked. This kind of permission...only one person has it.

After turning on the communication, as expected, a man wearing a purple coat with gold edges and a shawl, with blond hair and blue eyes, and long hair tied into a ponytail draped over his left shoulder, appeared on the screen with a smile on his face - Otto Apokalis.

At this moment, Wang Chen also saw the most famous villain in the Honkai series, and his expression unconsciously became solemn.

"Good morning, my lovely little Theresa, do you like the gift grandpa gave you today?" Otto said with a smile.

"Gift? Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Theresa's expression was not very good. At this time, her good grandfather suddenly appeared. She knew there was something fishy. After all, Theresa knew her good grandfather's methods too well.

"Oh... my lovely little Theresa, how can you stare at grandpa with such vicious eyes? You see, grandpa has seen that you have been thinking about Kiana day and night, and over the years, little Theresa, you have been diligently running the Far East branch and have been law-abiding. As a reward, I will send the child you have been thinking about day and night to you. This gift is very good, isn't it?" said Otto Apokalis.

"Very...very good. I am very grateful to Grandpa for this gift." Theresa took a deep breath, nodded, and said slowly.

"Very good, this is my good child, Theresa. I will leave the S-class Valkyrie Kiana Shaniyat, who has the honor of destiny, and the new captain of the Hyperion, Wang Chen, to you with confidence." Otto said slowly with a smile.

Theresa and Wang Chen were both shocked when these words came out. Theresa was shocked by the identities of the two people at this moment, while Wang Chen was completely confused as to why Otto not only did not point out his fake identity, but instead turned it into his real identity and recognized it.

"Honorary S-class Valkyrie? And the captain of the Hyperion? Grandpa, what do you mean? Especially why do you want to replace the captain of the Hyperion!" Theresa asked with a grim expression.

"Alas... my lovely little Theresa, although you work diligently, you can't bring your habits to other people... The A-level Valkyrie Himeko is nearly 30 years old, and it's time for her to retire. Do you plan to let Wuliangta Himeko work with you for the rest of her life? Not everyone is like little Theresa who never grows up. Grandpa is making plans for your future." Otto sighed with a distressed look.

"I..." Theresa felt like something was stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter a word.

"And... Grandpa specially chose someone Kiana likes to take the position. This way, on the one hand, there is no need to separate the couple. On the other hand, little Theresa can be used without worrying about him being a traitor. Grandpa has taken great pains to help little Theresa manage your St. Freya Academy. Shouldn't little Theresa be happy? Alas, as expected, when the child grows up, he becomes a little rebellious..." Otto shook his head and sighed.

Theresa felt like she was going to burst out of her head, so she finally interrupted Otto's show-off and said, "Grandpa, how much do you know about the current situation in Changkong City! Now is an emergency."

"Heh... Those jumping clowns from Anti-Entropy are nothing to be feared. Let them make trouble if they want... They will dig their own graves if they create the Great Honkai Impact and the Herrscher with their own hands." Otto seemed particularly indifferent to the news and said.

"But...that's the life of the entire Changkong City. How can we allow them to use it as capital for experiments?" Theresa asked.

"Theresa... Even without anti-entropy, Changkong City is destined to be destroyed. There have been two major collapses. You are not so naive as to fail to recognize the current situation." Otto did not continue to tease Theresa this time, but spoke in a very serious tone.

"The Great Collapse is destined to be accompanied by the death of a large number of humans and the sacrifice of life... This is the way the Collapse exists. Even if Theresa drives away the Anti-Entropy, you can't prevent the Great Collapse of Changkong City from coming. It is better to wait for the Great Collapse to break out, and then clean up the mess and conquer the Herrscher. At that time, Grandpa will naturally send troops to help you."

The cold words rang in the ears of everyone in the room, and everyone's mood sank.
