17. Huh? I'm Kiana's dad now?
[After half an hour on the run, hundreds of Valkyries from Schicksal Headquarters catch up to you. They aren't the good girls from St. Freya Academy, but rather the black gloves Otto uses to do his dirty work.]
[However, this plan was carefully designed by you and Einstein. Anti-Entropy isn't late; their Titan troops were already lying in ambush in a valley along the necessary route, and they begin intercepting the enemy forces.]
[But to capture you, Otto directly dispatched several warships, using their air superiority to carry out indiscriminate bombardment. Anti-Entropy's robot forces suffer heavy losses in an instant.]
[This was also within your expectations. Perhaps the two children are important to Otto's plans, but only for his future plans.]
[The Gem of Serenity, however, is a genuinely crucial item. Its loss would undoubtedly force Otto to significantly reinforce his pursuing troops.]
[You pilot the fighter jet at full speed, but it's ultimately slowed down by Schicksal's electromagnetic weapons, which damage one of the stealth jet's engines.]
[Soon, the fully armed Valkyries board the stealth jet. They are cold and efficient killers, aiming their weapons directly at you after identifying their targets.]
[Without any hesitation, you shield the two children with your body and prepare to activate the Gem of Serenity at any moment.]
[The sound of the fighter jet exploding, the roar of artillery, and those frost-faced Valkyries all frighten the two children who have never experienced war. Kiana forces herself to appear calm, while K-423 has already begun to tremble.]
[The next second, you see the originally azure left eye of K-423 in your arms suddenly turn into a brilliant gold.]
"This is bad, Siegfried—"
In the next moment, a terrifying energy erupts. Outside the cabin, several white-and-gold conical spears instantly send several A-rank Valkyries flying. If not for the sturdiness of their Valkyrie armor and the somewhat unrefined control of the spear attacks, this strike might have pierced right through them.
The expression of K-423 in Gao qi's arms also suddenly turns ferocious.
"Siegfried! Otto! Welt! I'm back! Let me kill you a thousand times—it still won't be enough!"
K-423 in Gao qi's arms tightly grabs his arm, letting out frantic cries.
Around them, two more spears materialize out of thin air and shoot towards Siegfried and Gaoqi.
"Don't hurt the teacher!"
But soon, K-423 regains control. She fearfully extends her small hand and clenches it, halting the Void Lance aimed at Gao qi right in front of him—Gao qi's hand had already touched the Gem of Serenity.
"Ha, I've seen this damn thing before."
Siegfried raises the Judgement of Shamash beside him, easily shattering the spear, and seems to remember something.
"She has the Core of the Void Herrscher, no surprise there—K-423, don't listen to the voice in your heart! You're the teacher's good child. You're stronger than her; you can suppress her!"
Gao qi comforts K-423 and lets out a soft sigh. Now he understands why the plane crashed in the original story.
It wasn't just because of the pursuers; it was also because another personality within K-423 manifested.
After the Second Honkai War, although Sirin was defeated, Cecilia's sacrifice left within her a yearning for love and beauty, shaping the cheerful, bubbly personality of the future.
However, the Core of the Void Herrscher also retains Sirin's rage towards the world, creating the personality of the "Queen" within K-423. She craves the destruction of the world and desires all things to kneel at her feet.
(Although being stepped on by the Queen doesn't sound bad, Gao qi would prefer to be the only one under her heel, not the entire world facing doom.)
"Come, Kiana, help calm your sister. I told you about the effect of your blood—let her drink a few drops."
Outside the cabin, missile strikes continue. Siegfried focuses on piloting the plane and performing evasive maneuvers, while Gao qi constantly encourages K-423 and beckons Kiana over.
"Yes, Teacher—It's okay, I'll always be by your side. We still have so many things to do together."
Kiana obediently comes to K-423's side, diligently comforting her, and together they hold onto the necklace Gao qi gave them.
Her demeanor even somewhat resembles her mother, the gentle Cecilia.
At the same time, Kiana bites her fingertip, wanting to use the Schariac blood to calm K-423, but K-423's expression grows increasingly pained, and her other eye also begins to turn gold.
"No good... I'm a monster. She... she's telling me to kill you! Teacher! Big sister! I can't hold on much longer—Ah!"
In the next moment, an irresistible force erupts from K-423, throwing Gaoqi and Kiana back and completely shredding their seatbelts.
Three more Void Lances materialize, intending to shoot towards Gao qi. He pushes Kiana towards Siegfried, places his finger on the Gem of Serenity, and...
The Gem of Serenity also begins to tremble. The will within it connects with Gao qi's mind. Eager to cause another Honkai eruption, it willingly offers its power.
But the next second, the Void Lance does not pierce Gao qi. Instead, K-423 teleports in front of him, her brilliant golden eyes carefully examining Gao qi.
"Gaoqi! You... you bastard, aren't you... Damn it! Be quiet, little one. I won't hurt him. 'Teacher,' is it? You liar, making me wait for so long—"
After muttering a few baffling sentences, which seemed to Gao qi like two personalities arguing with each other, K-423's eyes revert to one blue and one gold—K-423 has regained control.
K-423 can feel that the will in her mind is full of killing intent towards her teacher, yet also brimming with love. Such complex, twisted emotions leave K-423 utterly confused and unable to comprehend—she's still just a baby!
But no matter what, K-423 doesn't want to harm the most important person.
With a casual clench of her hand, the Void Lances tear open the aircraft cabin, and K-423 jumps out without hesitation.
"Little sister!"
The next second, Kiana actually jumps out after K-423, grabbing hold of her in mid-air.
The blood of the Saint seeping from Kiana's finger, guided by her will, permeates into K-423's body during their rapid fall.
And at this moment, the giant aerial warship in the distance begins another volley, countless missiles shooting towards them.
Gao qi directly grasps the Gem of Serenity. In his eyes, the mark of death—composed of two curved arcs—begins to appear. He must immediately obtain the power of the Herrscher of Death and go out to save them!
Here, it's time for the simulation to end.
Though somewhat reluctant, Gao qi pressed forward without hesitation.
But just as he was about to touch the gem, a hand suddenly slapped it back into the box.
"Hey—"
Gao qi looked up to see Siegfried smiling brightly, as if he had discovered something delightful.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you really know how to act. Willing to sacrifice yourself for those worthless girls—Gao qi, I always knew you were a hero!"
At this moment, Siegfried shed his usual gloom and became radiant, as if he had returned to his youth.
"You hypocrite, hiding your true self under the guise of a devil. From now on, be more open and honest—I'll save my daughter myself!"
The great sword burst into fierce flames. Without hesitation, Siegfried leaped out, the energy from the Judgment of Shamash propelling him forward as he caught up with Kiana and K423.
"You—Siegfried!"
With the enemy approaching, K423 lost control once again. However, the Schariac holy blood had already taken effect, and she began to weaken.
"Ha, too bad your sister doesn't like me. Guess she'll have to be Gao qi's good daughter instead—I leave her to you, Gao qi, my friend!"
Holding Kiana tightly in his arms, Siegfried easily subdued K423. Then, with all his strength, he threw her back toward the aircraft.
Thud.
Siegfried's aim was true. Gao qi caught K423 effortlessly, and the Herrscher traits on her body rapidly faded away.
Looking down, Gao qi saw Kiana in Siegfried's arms, waving at him.
"Goodbye, Teacher! See you next time! Dad, you're so cool!"
Falling rapidly, Kiana showed no fear. She simply smiled and bid farewell to Gao qi before turning her excited gaze to her father.
This adventure was too thrilling!
"Heh, of course. But this height... is really something else."
Siegfried's lips twitched as he looked at the overwhelming barrage of missiles and the snow-covered ground rapidly approaching. He touched the parachute pack torn apart by the Abyss Lances on his back and let out a soft sigh.
"If you really end up with a damaged brain, don't forget your old man."
"Don't worry, Dad. I definitely won't forget Teacher Gao qi. But as for you? Who knows!"
"Hey, you little traitor! Ah, a grown daughter is no longer your own—alright, I'll show you just how amazing your dad can be!"
The next moment, crimson flames spread from the hilt of his sword. As a tube of Hyper-Mutation Factor activator, gifted by Anti-Entropy, was injected into his shoulder, Siegfried's entire body burst into flames, just like seven years ago.
Last time, Siegfried failed to protect his wife. But this time, he was determined to protect his daughter!
As chitinous shells, resembling those of Honkai beasts, appeared on his body, he activated the Zeroth Power of the Judgment of Shamash.
"Might of An-Utu—Draw!"
Overwhelming flames, like a scene of apocalypse, completely obscured the icy landscape. Meanwhile, Gao qi struggled to pilot the fighter jet away from the battlefield.
"Tsk, Siegfried, you stole my chance to show off, handed K423 over to me to raise, and even avoided having an arm chopped off by her in the future. You really hit the jackpot."
Looking at K423, who had fallen into a deep sleep in his arms, Gao qi wore a wry smile.
"Well, well, now I'm the father of the Plain Jane!"
[With Siegfried and Kiana covering your retreat, you escaped with K423.]
[You considered handing K423 over to Anti-Entropy, but while you trusted the conservatives, you couldn't agree with the radicals.]
[After the radicals repeatedly demanded to study the Void Herrscher vessel, you made the same decision as Siegfried in the original story: taking K423 and hiding in a small town in the polar regions.]
[You maintained contact with Einstein and the others, occasionally dealing with minor Honkai incidents nearby to train your adaptability to Honkai energy.]
[As Amber had said, after semi-Herrscherization, K423 entered a stable state. When she awoke, she temporarily forgot her previous memories but retained the knowledge she had acquired.]
[Getting to know her again wasn't difficult. She still trusted you deeply.]
[This time, however, K423 was given a new name.]
[Kiana Kaslana. In the end, you didn't change her name, because faced with that face, you couldn't think of any other name that suited her better—Artemis, Diana, or even Chang'e. None felt right. You began to understand Siegfried's choice.]
[The difference was, this time, you hid nothing from her. Kiana knew she had an older sister and a biological father.]
[Life in seclusion was as uneventful as still water, but with Kiana by your side, it was still joyful.]
[However, you had one annoyance: Kiana didn't like calling you "Teacher." Instead—]
"Dad! I'm back!"
