Different from Kevin Kaslana's worship of the Kaslana family, the Shaniyat family's worship of Lucifer Shaniyat is almost fanatical. Cecilia was able to become a saint because she received recognition from "Lucifer" when she was a child. Yes, compared to the Kaslana family, the Shaniyat family seems to be closer to their ancestors.
I met Kevin Kaslana during the Second Collapse. He gave me instructions and helped me comprehend the power of the stigma and man-made collapse, but that was all. Apart from me, no one else in the Kaslana family had ever seen or received Kevin Kaslana's gifts.
But Lucifer is different. From ancient times to the present, there have always been many people in the Shaniyat family who have received Lucifer's "gifts", and Lucifer is generous in bestowing power.
Even... the power his wife obtained when she was purifying Siberia was from Lucifer's "gift". The excessive loss of holy blood can only be said to be one of the causes of death. The power given by Lucifer was too strong, causing Cecilia's body to be unable to bear it, which was also a reason.
Therefore, Siegfried had thought more than once, is it really a "gift"?
Because of the gift from the ancestors, and because the ancestors and the family have always been together, the Shaniyat family has always been at the forefront in fighting against the Honkai while receiving the gift, so that in the end... those who have received the gift have all died or disappeared.
Isn't this really... a curse?
Cecilia went through those things when she was a child, and now Kiana has to go through them again. If she continues to stay in the destiny like this, will Kiana end up like the other Shaniyate family members? In order to protect the glory of Shaniyate and to defend the holy name of Lucifer, she finally died prematurely...
Siegfried hugged his head, he knew he shouldn't think like this. This was the case with the Shaniyat family, and the Kaslana family would not be much different. Every generation of the Kaslana family head died from the backlash of the skyfire.
This is the price you have to pay for fighting the collapse.
He was not afraid of his own sacrifice, but he did not want his daughter to follow that old path. After Cecilia's death, he just wanted his daughter to live well and live according to her true wishes.
In Siegfried's eyes, the people of the Shanyat family are completely twisted, and the way they fight against the Honkai has reached the point of being obsessed. It is true that the Kaslana family is not afraid of sacrifice, but the Kaslana family is not as crazy as the Shanyat family.
However, the Shaniyat family never thought so, and they didn't want to let Kiana go...
Therefore, he decided to defect and take Kiana with him.
The Shaniyat family was not a safe haven. He did not want his daughter to undergo those experiments at such a young age and be made into a clone of himself. He also did not want his daughter to become as crazy as the other members of the Shaniyat family.
After making up his mind, he contacted Einstein and Tesla through the special communication channel left for him by Anti-Entropy at the end of the Second Great Collapse that year, and expressed to them his intention to take Kiana and rebel against Destiny.
Anti-Entropy agreed to his request, but also put forward their conditions. Einstein and Tesla asked him to bring out the clone of Kiana with the Herrscher of the Sky in the Sky Port.
After all, you are asking someone to do something for you, so you can't blame the other party for making conditions.
After thinking for a long time and tentatively asking Kiana about her thoughts, Siegfried decided to take Kiana with him. He wanted to take away K423, the carrier of the Herrscher core, not only because of the conditions proposed by Anti-Entropy, but also because of his personal feelings.
He didn't want Otto to awaken the Second Herrscher again, and he didn't want Otto to get his wish.
And what he couldn't understand even more was that the Second Herrscher was one of the main murderers who caused Cecilia's death, but Leopold, the head of the Shaniat family, didn't care about it and even cooperated with Otto in the experiment.
The clone numbered K423 must be taken away at all costs.
If I just take Kiana with me, this won't be a difficult task, but if I try to rob K423, the difficulty will increase greatly.
However, he also contacted Theresa and made an appointment with her to defect together. Theresa would attract enough firepower from the destiny for him, and then he would have time to escape from the destiny with Kiana and the clone...
As for Theresa, he could only say sorry. He did not tell Theresa that there would be Anti-Entropy to help him out, mainly because he did not trust Theresa's ability to keep a secret.
Siegfried is now in a stage where no one is willing to trust in his destiny. Even Theresa, Cecilia's best friend, and Desdobia, the former vice-captain of the Snow Wolf Team, he is not completely confident in them.
Especially Desdobia, because Desdobia and the Shanyat family have had contact quite often, and both sides are very familiar with each other. The Shanyat family is even more friendly to Desdobia, and Desdobia cares a lot about Kiana, so Siegfried's trust in Desdobia is quite low.
The most important thing about this defection is to hide it from Desdobia so that Desdobia will not be alert and will inform Tianming.
For this reason, when Anti-Entropy was initially planning the time for the defection, Siegfried decided to move it forward, the sooner the better. After all, defection requires preparation, and the longer it takes, the easier it is to be discovered. Once this sign is discovered, judging by the Shaniyatt family's mobility, there will be countless surveillance around him and Kiana.
After Cecilia's death, the intensity of surveillance around him first increased, then slowly decreased, until recently it showed an upward trend again.
We can't delay any longer. If we delay any longer we won't be able to leave.
Siegfried stopped thinking, put the Holy Fire Judge on his waist, walked out of his room, looked at his daughter and said, "Kiana, we have to get ready to leave."
That night, the entire Tianming Airport was alarmed, and in the end, everything ended with the missile of the automatic defense system hitting the defector's plane.
After the defection, the objects that fell from the plane hit the snow-capped mountains.
Before the exploration team arrived ahead of Destiny, the girl with green hair, surrounded by one-eyed men holding umbrellas, dug up the snow and saw the little girl lying in it.
"Her vital signs are weak, but she's alive... She fell from a height of several thousand meters, but she's still alive and has no other external injuries..." She muttered to herself in disbelief but relief, and then her eyes became sinister, "Siegfried Kaslana, you really gave us a big surprise..."
She stood up, glanced at the little girl lying in the snow, then looked at the green-haired girl holding an umbrella for her and asked, "Klein, how long will it take for Destiny to arrive?"
"Ten minutes at most, Doctor. I think we should go," Klein said.
"Then let's go. From now on, we must not relax our surveillance of Siegfried and K423, as well as Kiana. Especially Siegfried." She gritted her teeth and emphasized the name "Siegfried".
"I still don't understand, Doctor. How could he dare to do this without a detailed plan or a complete backup plan..." Klein murmured, "We just got his plan to defect, and he has already taken action..."
"We were careless. We always thought that things would go according to our expectations and that fate would eventually move in the originally planned direction. However, it did not follow our plan... Siegfried Kaslana, huh... I really want to see what Kevin would think when he knew that he had done this and almost ruined Yu Feng's hope of returning."
Five minutes after the group evacuated, the search team sent by Tianming arrived at the scene.
Leopold Shaniat, the head of the Shaniat family, and Otto Apokalis, the bishop of the destiny, were also present. Otto first stepped forward to confirm the child's vital signs, and then wrapped her body with soul steel to treat her. At the same time, he said with emotion: "Siegfried Kaslana, you always do things that are unexpected... So, what are you going to do next, Master Leopold?"
"He will become the enemy of the Shanyatid family. We will chase him to the ends of the earth, and even Anti-Entropy... the Shanyatid family will not let him go!" Leopold said in a cold voice.
Otto shifted his gaze from Leopold to Kiana who was in a deep sleep. While the soul steel was healing her, it was also gradually changing her hair color.
Even those in the dark had not anticipated Siegfried's move. Should we say that this is indeed the stubborn thinking of the Kaslana family?
He had deliberately let Siegfried see K423 and the other clones, and told Leopold in advance not to tell Siegfried the truth, in order to encourage Siegfried to defect. But he had not expected Siegfried to do this. If something happened to Kiana, he would be in big trouble...
Fortunately, the child was fine.
Moreover, Anti-Entropy really has a big trouble this time. It is not so easy to be targeted by the Shanyatid family. Although the Shanyatid family’s mission is to fight against the Honkai, they will never show mercy to their enemies.
Although he almost got into trouble, he is still the biggest winner this time. The Shaniyat family, which was originally neutral, will completely stand on the opposite side of Anti-Entropy after tonight, and will launch revenge against Anti-Entropy at all costs.
And he would not be hostile to the Shaniyat family.
He recalled his conversation with Leopold:
"Even if you are the bishop, I will not allow you to use Kiana for experiments!"
"But, Master Leopold, you have to know that even if you don't want to, this matter is not up to you, right? The glorious ancestor of the Shanyat family will definitely return in this generation, in Kiana, but she is the only bloodline left by Cecilia, your own granddaughter, do you want her to become that vessel?"
"……What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is, let's make another container that can also meet the container standards as the core carrier of the Herrscher of the Void. What do you think, Master Leopold?"
Interlude: Reunion
"Hey, the 'goods' we're dealing in this time can be sold for quite a bit of money, so keep a close eye on her."
"I know, I know. After all, there is only one 'goods' like this among thousands of people, and they also offered a high price. If she wasn't an orphan without a father or mother, we might not be able to get her."
"Luckily she's honest. Otherwise, if she makes a fuss and something goes wrong, we won't be able to explain ourselves. If we make a fuss, it will be hard to fool Tianming."
"Don't worry. Tianming is already overwhelmed by the impact of the collapse of each country. What's more, he is just a child from an orphanage. There are so many orphans in the world now. How can Tianming focus on this child?"
The girl's hands were tied behind her back. She watched the two mercenaries talking in front of her in horror, tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say a word.
"Hey, what do you think of the other kids in that orphanage? They're probably not as valuable as this, but as long as they're good-looking, there's always a market for them. Even if they're just a few dollars, it's not too much money, right?"
"That's an idea indeed... But for now, we still have to send this child to the designated place over there. If we can't make this deal, we won't be able to do it in the future."
"Well, she's just a kid, where can she run away under our noses? There are more than a dozen brothers around, and each of them has a real weapon in his hand. Even if the Valkyrie of Destiny comes, if there are only one or two of them, we can still run away if we can't defeat them."
"Anyway, it's better to be careful. I've been feeling uneasy all day, and I always feel like something is going to happen."
"You are just too cautious. You are suspicious."
Are they going to attack everyone in the orphanage...
Fear was revealed in the girl's blue pupils. She fell into a helpless state. These strange adults could take her out of the orphanage with weapons in their hands. They said they would go again later, which must be true, but... she could only watch all this happen.
The girl knew very well why she was brought here. It was probably because of the red mark on her chest. This kind of mark seemed to be very rare among people all over the world, which was why she was targeted this time.
"Is it me... that has caused trouble for everyone..."
The girl's eyes were full of tears, but she didn't even dare to cry out loud. She could only curl up in the corner as much as possible and sob silently, as if this could at least give her a little sense of security.
Can someone help me? I'm so scared...
She could only pray desperately and helplessly in her heart, but, as if recalling her strong desire at the moment, the mark on her chest glowed slightly.
It was as if someone had heard her prayers, appeared beside her, gently wiped away her tears, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "We... finally meet again."
But she didn't have time to understand this sentence at that time because she lost consciousness very quickly.
A mercenary holding a bottle of wine was urged by his companions to come over to regularly check the status of the "goods" they were about to deliver. He opened the door while muttering "What can a little girl do?"
What caught his eyes was the girl who was regarded as "commodity" by them and was so scared that she dared not speak after a few threats. Now she was standing in front of him. The rope at her feet looked like it had been forcibly broken. He looked at the girl, but she was not looking at him. She was looking at her own wrist, staring at the red marks on her snow-white wrist and frowned.
"Hey! What are you doing?! Put your hands up!" the mercenary asked loudly, and without hesitation threw away the bottle in his hand and raised the gun.
There are few fools among mercenaries. This is a life-threatening job. If one dies one day, it will be his own fault. Even though he was a little tipsy from drinking vodka, he could clearly judge the situation in front of him. The ropes that tied the girl were so tight that even a normal strong man could not break free of it.
But at the moment, it is easy to see that the broken rope around the girl was broken by the girl herself.
He asked loudly, not only warning the girl not to move, but also calling out to his companions.
As a mercenary, he knew quite a lot, such as the "cargo" this time. It was said that people with that mark would have some special abilities, and there were many such people among the Valkyries of Destiny.
He didn't want to fall into the trap, even though he looked like a strong man and a professional mercenary with a gun in his hand, and the other party was just an unarmed little girl, he still didn't dare to be careless.
The careless mercenaries have all gone to see God.
"Did you hear me?! Put your hands up!" Seeing that the girl seemed to be ignoring him, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He loaded the gun in his hand, but he didn't dare to act rashly until the other party made any further moves, because if the girl got hurt, he and his group would not be able to explain to their employer.
The girl finally shifted her gaze over. It would have been fine if she hadn't moved her gaze over. As soon as she did, the mercenary instantly felt an invisible sense of oppression, and he quickly discovered the difference in the girl.
The pupils that were originally as blue as the sea had now turned as red as blood, and they continued to radiate coldness.
The mercenary swallowed subconsciously, and then realized that he was threatened by a little girl. He couldn't help but get angry. His finger was already on the trigger, and he threatened the girl: "Hey, the gun in my hand has no eyes. If you want to be safe and sound, and those guys in the orphanage are safe too, then be quiet!"
The girl flexed her wrist and looked at the mercenary with a look that made him feel a chill in his heart.
"Don't you have eyes? Never mind. I can open your eyes for you, you bastard..."
The sounds made by her companions before and the screams afterwards attracted all the mercenaries around. They surrounded the girl in the small house with guns and live ammunition. The leading mercenary looked at the situation in the house. Even though he was a veteran of many battles, the situation before him still made him feel frightened.
The girl who couldn't even cry loudly when facing them not long ago, now held a blood-red giant sickle in one hand that she had taken out from somewhere, and looked at them with sarcasm. Her eyes were full of bloodthirsty coldness. What made the mercenaries feel even more frightened was that the eye on the blood-red sickle didn't even look like a decoration. It was turning, as if looking at the prey in front of it to see if it could satisfy it.
Their companion who had called for help before had been chopped in half, and both of his hands had been chopped off. Although he was still alive, it was obvious that he would not live for much longer.
"Shoot, shoot!"
The leading mercenary shouted loudly. This strange situation could no longer be explained by common sense. In the face of his life, the high reward given by the employer was nothing. The mercenaries said that they would do anything for money, but what was the use of money when their lives were about to be lost?
Although theoretically his judgment was correct, due to the huge gap between the two sides, this seemingly correct judgment was insignificant.
No matter what judgment he makes, the outcome of tonight will not change.
No matter how experienced the mercenaries were, or how powerful their firepower was, under the cover of night, there was only a one-sided and furious massacre.
After beheading the last mercenary who dropped his weapon and begged for mercy due to mental breakdown, the girl faced the moonlight, holding the sickle in one hand and clenching the other hand, whispering: "A teenager's untrained body is still a little unaccustomed..."
She stood there in silence for a while, then shifted her gaze to a place not far away: "Someone is finally here? You can't even protect a child... huh?"
How come the person who came to look for someone was still a child? What's wrong with this world?
She looked at the corpses on the ground and the snow that was stained black by blood. She was careful not to let the blood of these disgusting guys splash on her, but if she continued to stand here, it would be quite troublesome to explain what happened next. Although according to that eternal ice-faced guy, she could go find those other guys, but before that guy came back, she was not interested in these things.
If she hadn't cooperated with that bad-looking woman, she would have been like that ice-faced woman, thinking that the dead wood was really dead...
We have to thank Rovko for contacting the woman who happened to be a peeping Tom in the Quantum Sea before he died, and making preparations for both scenarios in case Mostima failed. Otherwise, there would be no one to take that dead wood back.
What's more, after all, I am not the main personality of this body and have no right to make decisions for her.
[She] seemed to want to go back to the orphanage.
Then just let her do it. Anyway, I have already established a preliminary connection with her through the stigmata, and I can keep an eye on the situation here at any time. If it doesn't work, I can only go find those guys.
No matter what, only [she] cannot be harmed in any way because she owes [her] this.
After Bronya carefully confirmed that the mercenaries at the scene were indeed dead, she pushed open the door of the hut, worried that Seele had been moved: "Seele!"
She only saw Xier lying on the ground in coma, and other than that, she saw nothing.
Even the Ural Silver Wolf, who was already famous in Siberia at a young age, was stunned when she saw this scene. She suddenly couldn't understand what had happened at the scene to cause it to become like this.
The wounds on the mercenaries were all caused by being cut directly by sharp weapons, but apart from the sabers on the mercenaries' waists, what other weapons could be called sharp weapons at the scene?
And Xier is just in a coma now. Who on earth suddenly appeared and killed all the mercenaries here, and then ignored Xier?
one year later.
Seele walked out of Cocolia's laboratory, and another voice of hers rang in her ears: "Have you really thought it through? The X-10 experiment is not a good experiment. After this experiment, you can no longer stay with that sister Bronya, okay?"
Xier shifted her gaze to the other self floating beside her. She had the same appearance as herself, but she was the only one who could see her. Xier knew very well, although no one else would believe it if she told it, that when she was kidnapped by those mercenaries a year ago, it was the other self who appeared and saved her.
