First Cecilia, then the two Kianas...
These days, he slowly recalled his past so far, remembering his yearning for Alahato and his rebellion against the family mission when he was young. Because he didn't want to be bound by the family's mission of "protecting the world", he ran away from home at the age of 15. Of course, he only found out afterwards that it was his mother's plea and his father's use of the favors between Kaslana and Shaniyat to plead with Otto and Shaniyat that prevented him from being caught.
However, precisely because of this, the Shanyatid family has always looked down on him. Even though he finally gained Otto's approval and overcame numerous obstacles to marry Cecilia, the Shanyatid family still disliked him.
In fact, Siegfried didn't care whether Shanyiat treated him or not. To him at that time, Cecilia was almost his whole world. Whether Shanyiat recognized him or not had nothing to do with him. Anyway, Otto had come forward, and Shanyiat had to recognize him whether he wanted to or not. At that time, he was still grateful to Otto... At least this was the only thing Otto had done in his memory.
Thinking of his meeting with Cecilia and the process of falling in love with her, Siegfried was somewhat grateful to Anti-Entropy. If it weren't for Anti-Entropy, he wouldn't have met Cecilia, and wouldn't have truly felt the feeling of loving someone and living for it.
Originally, everything was so peaceful, but the birth of the Second Herrscher and everything that happened during the Second Great Collapse finally broke even the superficial peace.
Cecilia's sacrifice, Otto's backstabbing and targeting of Anti-Entropy, the beliefs he had held in the past were broken again and again, and he was powerless to do anything about it again and again.
Suddenly, a warrior's intuition made him realize that something was wrong around him. Siegfried pulled himself out of his memories, turned around abruptly and looked back. A girl was standing at the door, staring at him coldly.
"Kiana..." Siegfried said the girl's name almost subconsciously, but he soon realized his mistake, because the "Kiana" in front of him had silver pupils.
It is exactly the same as the eyes of Lucifer in the legend.
Siegfried immediately got into a fighting stance, took the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire in his hand, and asked through gritted teeth: "...Lucifer Shaniat?"
"Siegfried Kaslana, the Kaslana who betrayed her family twice, I think this is indeed the first time we meet." "Kiana" said lightly, "I never thought that the Kaslana of this generation who can use the Holy Fire Judgment would be you. You seem to be the first person in history to abandon your family and betray your destiny with the Holy Fire Judgment, right?"
"I don't think such a destiny is worth my staying..." Siegfried said coldly, "I didn't expect that the ancestor of Shanyat would sacrifice a junior to achieve resurrection. You are here, not to chat with me, right? What happened to the other people in the Anti-Entropy Base?"
"Heh... I really still don't have a good impression of you. Being rebellious requires skills, but you don't have the skills to support your rebelliousness." Lucifer said, "As for the other people in this anti-entropy base, this is not something you need to know now."
Siegfried's pupils shrank, and he stared at Lucifer in front of him without saying a word. Lucifer appeared in front of him so openly, but there was no alarm sounded in the Anti-Entropy base. The only explanation was that Shaniyat attacked the base, and it was very likely that they sent out all their forces.
Judging from the old feud between Shaniyat and Anti-Entropy, the other people in this base may be in danger...
"Originally I should have let someone else deal with you, but I also want to see what kind of person Kaslana is, who was disliked by almost all Shaniyat before I returned." Lucifer seemed to look at Siegfried as he spoke, "But, in my opinion, you are just qualified to use the Holy Tribunal of Heavenly Fire. You have already betrayed the Kaslana family, and you should no longer hold the Holy Tribunal of Heavenly Fire. This is the Key of God that belongs to Kaslana, not to you, Siegfried."
"Ha... Should I feel honored to have Shanyat's ancestors come and take the Skyfire from me?" Siegfried sneered and said, "But I won't..."
The next second, Lucifer's figure moved from the doorway to in front of him in an instant. Before Siegfried could react, his chest was hit by a huge hammer. Lucifer kicked him out of the infirmary and out of the entire building, landing heavily on the square outside.
"Cough cough..."
Siegfried stood up from the big hole on the ground with some difficulty, with horror in his eyes. Although the Honkai factor in his body was eroding his body uncontrollably, it was also strengthening him at the same time. But even so, he still couldn't see Lucifer's movements clearly. He just saw Lucifer coming in front of him, and was kicked to the ground by the other party the next second.
Is this... the power of the Shaniyat ancestors?
Even though his body was being repaired by the Honkai Factor, Siegfried still felt waves of pain. If he hadn't been in a semi-collapsed state, Lucifer's kick would have killed him.
Lucifer appeared in front of him again as if he had teleported, looking down at him condescendingly: "I really don't understand why someone like you can make that child care about you and become her concern. If you die here, will she be completely free of worries and disappear?"
That child... Kiana?
Siegfried raised his head sharply and glared at Lucifer: "…What did you do to my daughter?!"
He gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain brought by the collapse and the backlash of the skyfire. He once again switched the Skyfire Judgment from dual-gun mode to greatsword mode, and then slashed at Lucifer with one sword.
The raging flames of the Holy Judgment tore the path before him, but the attack completely missed. Lucifer teleported behind him, with the corners of his lips raised slightly, as if mocking his arrogance.
Or maybe, in Lucifer's eyes, his struggle was just an improvisational drama.
"No matter who you are, even if it's Lucifer, get off my daughter!" Siegfried said this almost in a roar, turned around and slashed at Lucifer with heavenly fire.
But his attack still failed to hit Lucifer. Lucifer even stood there without moving, but his attack went straight through Lucifer's body, as if it had hit the air.
This familiar ability reminded Siegfried of the Second Herrscher, who could also imaginary the Spear of the Sub-void, and then use it to strengthen it into an unstoppable attack. Objects in the real world could not stop the imaginary Spear of the Sub-void, and would instantly become real after hitting the target, causing huge damage.
Now it seems that Lucifer made [her] body imaginary to shield the attack.
"Can he even use the authority of the Second Herrscher so freely?" Siegfried gritted his teeth secretly. He knew very well that even in his heyday, he was no match for Lucifer.
However, the guy who stole his daughter's body was right in front of him, and his daughter's consciousness was not completely gone. No matter how hopeless it was, he had to give it a try, even if it was just a little bit...
Lucifer crossed his arms and listened to Siegfried's words, as if he had heard a big joke. He said to Siegfried sarcastically: "Your daughter? Do you really have your daughter in your heart?"
"You recklessly took a child of a few years old and entered destiny, watched her fall from a height of several thousand meters, gave her name to the one you thought was your second daughter, and then left her when she was a few years old, leaving her to survive on her own and live a wandering life from then on."
"In front of the other Shaniyat, you kept saying that you loved Cecilia, but you couldn't do anything about her departure, and you couldn't even keep the daughter she left for you! I can't blame you for not protecting Cecilia, because you are indeed too weak to do so, but you can't even protect her daughter..."
Lucifer kicked Siegfried hard into the wall of the building, then slowly walked to Siegfried who had barely stood up, and continued: "I am not here just to take back the Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire from you, but I also want to tell you, Siegfried Kaslana, the Shaniyat family... does not welcome you. Whether in the past, at this moment, or in the future, you will never be welcome in the Shaniyat family because you are not worthy."
"Heh... I don't need any Shaniyat's welcome, and I don't even want to go along with a bunch of lunatics like you!" Siegfried said as he raised the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire in his hand and chopped down at Lucifer in front of him with the maximum power he could mobilize at the moment.
But this time, Lucifer didn't even use the authority of the Herrscher of the Void to make his body virtual. Instead, he raised one hand and took the blow from the Judge of Heavenly Fire with his bare hands. When Siegfried saw Lucifer taking the blow with Kiana's body with his bare hands, he was shocked and wanted to withdraw his strength but it was too late.
However, there was no need for him to withdraw his power. When Lucifer caught the Skyfire with his hand, the flames burning on the sword went out at that moment, causing no harm to Lucifer at all. After that, Siegfried found that his control over the Skyfire seemed to have completely failed.
"Heh... Siegfried Kaslana, you don't think you are very noble, do you?" Lucifer raised his other hand slightly, and a subspace gate appeared at Siegfried's waist. At that moment, Siegfried could clearly feel the force that wanted to tear him in half, forcing him to use all his strength to fight back.
Lucifer was holding the sword of Skyfire in his bare hands and could no longer use it. His own body was also suppressed by the Archon Gate. Siegfried was now in a state of being completely unable to move.
"As the person with the purest bloodline of this generation of Kaslana family, you abandoned your family and ran away from home when you were young, forcing your parents to lose face and beg for mercy everywhere. Have you ever felt guilty for your parents?" Lucifer sneered, "This is the first and second time that you, as the head of Kaslana family, openly defected from Tianming with the God's Key of Kaslana family, making the entire Kaslana family unable to raise their heads in Tianming and become a joke of Tianming! Where do you put your already elderly parents and the family that has always followed you?"
"Siegfried Kaslana, are you really worthy of your name Kaslana? Do you really think you are noble?"
"I don't care about being in the same boat with Shaniyat... who do you think you are?"
Lucifer said this and kicked Siegfried hard again. This kick was more powerful than the previous ones, almost breaking Siegfried's sternum.
The severe pain forced Siegfried to let go of the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, and Lucifer took the Judgment of Heavenly Fire in his hand. In front of Siegfried, it changed into the appearance of destruction.
"You feel that everything you do is right and it makes you feel a sense of accomplishment, right?" Lucifer walked up to Siegfried and stepped on his chest, crushing his sternum that had just recovered from the Honkai Factor. The bone fragments were embedded in Siegfried's organs, making it almost difficult for him to breathe.
"You are sorry for your family, your parents, your wife, and your daughter. Tell me, who have you ever been worthy of in this life? Have you ever been worthy of your ridiculous sense of justice?" Lucifer looked into Siegfried's eyes and said, "You said Kiana is your daughter, so why don't you recall what stupid things you did before her 11th birthday? Recall what stupid things you did after giving her Kiana's name? Tell her those memories that don't belong to her or even the original Kiana, and say that these are her memories. You are really a talent!"
Lucifer raised his foot and held up the Jiemie in his hand. At this moment, the scorching heat swept around.
"At the end of the day, you're just a piece of shit who doesn't care about the people around him just to satisfy your own ridiculous sense of justice."
Siegfried looked at Lucifer with great effort, at the calamity that seemed to be about to fall on him. At this moment, his throat was filled with blood and he could not speak. But even if it was not filled with blood, he would still be speechless. He could not refute Lucifer at all.
Just when the sword of destruction was about to fall on him, it was as if someone suddenly reached out and grabbed Lucifer, and the sword of destruction that was about to be swung down stopped abruptly in mid-air.
At this moment, Siegfried seemed to see Lucifer's silver pupils suddenly turn blue, and there was no longer contempt in them, but sadness and helplessness.
Kiana...
Lucifer stopped the last blow to Siegfried, and the flame of destruction went out. She looked at Siegfried coldly, and said as if making a final judgment: "Siegfried Kaslana, your life is not worthy of me to kill, and you are not worthy of dirtying the hands of any Shaniyat. From now on, if you dare to appear in front of Shaniyat again, you will definitely face a more miserable end than now."
After saying that, Lucifer turned and left. In Siegfried's gradually blurred vision, countless figures of the Shaniyat family appeared beside Lucifer and followed Lucifer away.
Before Siegfried's consciousness fell into darkness again, he heard the panicked voice of the Anti-Entropy Researcher: "Mr. Siegfried, Mr. Siegfried! How are you? Hang in there!"
Chapter 61 Feng's Intention
"That Siegfried... is that the end of it?" On the way back, Olivia looked at Ivar and said, "And Anti-Entropy, is that the end of it?"
She was a little confused as to why Lord Lucifer gathered the current elite Shaniyat forces to suppress the Anti-Entropy branch in New Mexico, and ordered them to suppress rather than annihilate unless necessary. Although it would be very easy for Shaniyat to suppress one of the Anti-Entropy bases, why didn't they annihilate it if they could?
Her brain wasn't enough, and she urgently needed Ivar, the recognized external brain among the four cherubim, to answer her questions.
Ivar: "..."
This family will have to leave without me.
Olivia asked with confidence. After all, the expressions of her superiors Ludwig, Sariel, and Mistelline did not seem to have changed at all, and they were still the people standing closest to the ancestor's position. She did not dare to ask, so she could only trouble her colleague Ivar.
"Lord Lucifer never said that the matter with Anti-Entropy was over. It was just that Siegfried's matter was over." Ivar was silent for a while, then said calmly, "Siegfried is still alive. I think... it's because of these two people."
"Two people?" Olivia tilted her head. "Which two people?"
"Yulandel...and K423." Angelica said.
"Yulandel... That's right. After all, Bianca will definitely inherit our Shaniat family business. No matter how useless Siegfried is, he is still her father." Olivia said thoughtfully, "Then... what about K423? Didn't she become a vessel for Lord Lucifer and her consciousness disappeared?"
Ivar remembered the girl who used the power of the Saint to heal him during the Singapore incident, and said, "The Shaniyat that Lord Lucifer is watching also includes K423. No, she should be called Kiana Kaslana."
“That guy…! Ugh…”
Elias reached out to stop Olivia from screaming. The ancestors are still here. Are you embarrassed enough to make a fuss? Ludwig even glanced back.
"She has always been favored by Lord Lucifer." Angelica agreed with Ivar's words, "Perhaps, she is a child who was watched and taught by Lord Lucifer."
Olivia's eyes widened and she wanted to speak, but Elias covered her mouth so she couldn't say anything.
"It seems that you have indeed gotten to know her during your time in Saint Freya." Ivar looked at Angelica and said.
"Yes." Angelica nodded. "No Shaniyat has ever touched Kiana, but she can use Shaniyat swordsmanship. Now that I think about it, maybe Lord Lucifer taught her personally... And now Siegfried is still alive. Haha... What an enviable guy."
"It seems that after I step down, the cherubim will all depend on you, Angelia." Ivar smiled and continued, "Then let me tell you some news I got from the bishop. Lord Lucifer... He may intend to let Kiana lead the [Black Abyss]."
Olivia's eyes widened. What did she hear? A mere clone wanted to come and lead the Shaniyat of the Black Abyss? Why? Even if the original clone had beaten all four of their cherubim, it didn't mean that the clone had the qualifications.
Could it be that Lord Lucifer thinks that this clone is better than Lord Bishop's?
Wait, what did Angelica say before? K423 seemed to be a child personally taught and raised by Lord Lucifer... That was fine, Lord Lucifer was right, she had no objection.
"What exactly... happened?" Elias, who had been silent all this time, asked. It was obvious that he also had strong doubts about this.
"This is just the bishop's guess. On the day when Lord Lucifer revived, the bishop proposed to return the command of [Black Abyss]." Ivar said, "But Lord Lucifer refused, saying that someone would come to take the command of [Black Abyss] away from him in the future."
Why can't it be Yulandel? I think she's very talented! Except maybe she's a little too soft-hearted...
Olivia wanted to speak, but Elias didn't give her a chance to speak.
"In short, for now, a living Siegfried is more valuable than a dead Siegfried." Ivar said, "Whether it's Kiana or Bianca, if Siegfried is kept alive, based on what that idiot Siegfried did before, they will definitely not say anything more about the family's arrangements. If Siegfried dies, it will definitely have some impact on the two of them."
"What's more, Siegfried is nothing without Skyfire." Angelica continued.
Olivia anxiously gestured to Elias to let go, and she would never speak loudly. Elias then let go, and Olivia immediately said, "If he didn't have the Skyfire in his hand, how could he have been able to jump around in front of us for so long? I don't know what sin the Kaslana family had to give birth to such an heir."
The head of the family who defected from destiny and joined the enemy with the family heirloom was the first one in the three major families since their establishment thousands of years ago. Siegfried really brought shame to the Kaslana family.
Before Saint Kallen defected from the Mandate of Heaven, she returned Judah and left alone. But Siegfried defected and took the Heavenly Fire with him. So, is the Heavenly Fire his personal property?
What's more, how could Lady Kallen, who was admired even by the bishop, be compared to Siegfried, a loser?
They are both Kaslana, why is there such a big difference?
Kaslana's family...
Ivar raised his eyes. He hadn't heard anything about Kaslana's family for a long time. After Siegfried defected from the Mandate of Heaven, Shaniyat completely cut off contact with Kaslana, so much so that he almost forgot that Shaniyat's ancestor was once a close friend of Kaslana's ancestor, Lord Kevin.
Personally retrieve the Skyfire from his friend's unworthy descendants...
Before Siegfried, starting from ancestors Lucifer and Kevin, Shaniyat and Kaslana had maintained a friendship for thousands of years. Kaslana was the shield that protected the people, and Shaniyat was the sword that expelled the Honkai, and it had been like this for thousands of years.
In the end, everything was destroyed so easily by Siegfried.
Now that Siegfried's matter has come to an end, will the relationship between Kaslana and Shaniat warm up after this? After all, the resurrection of Saint Kallen is already on the agenda, and the bishop certainly doesn't want the three major families to be torn apart when Kallen returns.
I heard that five hundred years ago, the then head of the Shaniyat family, Eleanor Shaniyat, had a very good relationship with Lady Kallen.
Eleanor Shaniat, Kallen Kaslana, and Otto Apokalis were the three most outstanding people among the three major families of that era. Each of them was enough to represent the family behind them, and they had also created many achievements, but everything came to an end with the Saint Kallen's disappointment and defection from the old destiny.
Until now, only Otto Apokalis, the current Bishop of Heaven's Will, remains of the original three.
Speaking of the three major families, the Apokalis family seems to be in name only, or in other words, after the establishment of the New Mandate of Heaven, Otto has been constantly depriving the Apokalis family of their power almost in a retaliatory manner. Until now, the Apokalis family is just one of the three major families of Heavenly Mandate, and all the power is monopolized by Otto alone.
Theresa's status as the head of the Apokalis family, to put it nicely, is that Otto passed on his position as the head of the family to Theresa. To put it bluntly, that position was no longer of any use to Otto, so he gave it to Theresa like a toy to disgust the other people in the Apokalis family.
Theresa only has the surname of Apokalis, and her bloodline has basically nothing to do with Apokalis, but does the Apokalis family have any objections? Do they dare to?
This time, in addition to taking back the Skyfire from Siegfried, the action may also have a deterrent effect on Anti-Entropy, warning Anti-Entropy not to meddle in other people's business.
"Wait." Olivia remembered something. "If Lord Lucifer intends to let Qiana Kaslana take over the command of the [Black Abyss] from Lord Bishop, what about the [Container]? Where can we find the next [Container]?"
"Lord Lucifer has his own considerations." Ivar lowered his eyes and said, "Olivia, since you don't understand, then ask less and do more."
Olivia scratched her head. Before, it was the Bishop who commanded the Black Abyss. She just did what the Bishop said. Why did she have a brain?
Forget it, there’s no point in thinking too much. Whatever our ancestors said is what we should do.
Feng was playing with the Holy Fire Judgement in his hand. Kiana did come out to stop him when he was about to use the Jiemie to kill Siegfried. She agreed to his conditions, and then he would return the control of this body to Kiana.
Kiana's conditions were actually very simple. She just wanted to let Siegfried go. She never thought that Feng would actually order the entire Shanyat family to stop hunting Siegfried. After all, she was a good child. She could see that Feng had already made up his mind to kill her, so she came out to stop Feng. As for further requesting Feng to let the Shanyat family stop hunting Siegfried, she couldn't do it.
At least in Kiana's eyes, Feng is the only one who can kill Siegfried. Other Shaniyat will more or less take into account the firepower of Anti-Entropy, but Feng is the only one who can ignore Anti-Entropy and kill Siegfried directly.
As for why he gave Kiana an additional condition, this was something Feng had thought of from the beginning, because no matter what kind of stupid things Siegfried did, he was the father of Shaniat's two children, and Kiana always felt that the tragedy between Siegfried and Bianca was caused by her, which made her feel guilty towards Siegfried all the time.
Now, when Kiana said that she couldn't go down and attack Siegfried, Feng added the Shaniyat family into the mix, so this could be considered as a way to dilute Kiana's feelings for Siegfried.
In addition, there will be a chance to let Kiana take a good look at what Siegfried has done over the years, let her meet the Shaniyat family members who have been disabled for life because of Siegfried, and meet the Kaslana family members who have been implicated because of Siegfried, maybe Kiana can completely cut off ties with Siegfried, that incompetent waste.
Originally, Feng didn't have any ill will towards Siegfried. He even got Siegfried's resume reports from World Serpent, Destiny, and Shanyat before coming. After reading them in detail, he could only say... the more he read, the more disappointed he became.
Then when he was beating Siegfried and trying to force Kiana out, he didn't even see a hint of repentance in Siegfried's eyes. Instead, he looked... dissatisfied?
He made the entire Kaslana family a joke of fate, ruined his parents' reputation in their later years, and made his daughter suffer. Siegfried... did he really not think that what he did was wrong, and he was still not convinced?
