"We already said he's a shy young man! Let's hear our introduction, right, Luo Mo?"

Alicia was very interested, perhaps finding it fun, and she even took the initiative to introduce the product, "Let's begin, um... Velvi."

"Oh? Did you introduce me?" The corner of Wilvi's mouth curled up, she took off her hat and bowed slightly in acknowledgment.

"She is the creator of the Divine Key, a genius inventor from a previous civilization," Alicia spoke first, seizing the initiative.

“She has multiple personality disorder; there are enough minds in her head to make two mahjong tables.” Luo Mo thought for a moment, then added, “Her nickname is Two-Colored Afro.”

"Hey, I can't agree with that! What do you mean by 'two-tone frizzy hair'?!" Velvi said, dissatisfied.

"Shouldn't we be more concerned about something else?" Cecilia asked, looking at the two who were getting into the zone.

Why not refute the even stranger points?

“Next up is Little Paddo,” Alicia said with a wave of her hand, pointing to Paddo who was trembling in the corner, clutching a jar. “You go first!”

"Hey, Sister Aili, we...we don't need to make such a big deal out of the introduction, just introduce Brother Jie and the others," Pado said weakly, the can of food in her hand not daring to make a sound.

Ignoring her, the two continued their performance.

"Felice the Door, skilled at opening doors, loves doing business, is quirky and clever, and is the fastest runner."

"Although some of the terms are a bit strange and I don't quite understand them, listen carefully,"

Alicia coughed twice to clear her throat, then smiled broadly and said, "Adorable kitten, loves to sunbathe, has soft fur, and a perpetually upturned tail!"

"What? Sister Aili, I'm so shy!" Pado covered her face with both hands, and her tail stretched out from behind to cover part of her cheeks.

“Oh—I’ve seen you before,” Kiana said happily when she saw Padre. “We were sunbathing together the other day, right? It’s great to see you again!”

"Which day?" a gentle voice asked.

"It's me skipping class to..." The voice trailed off, and Kiana realized it was Cecilia's mother speaking. Cecilia tilted her head and smiled at Kiana, who had accidentally let it slip.

Kiana lowered her head, like a child admitting her mistake, but she'll do it again next time!

“Alice, if you can’t say it, there’s no need to force it,” Möbius said sarcastically, watching the fussing Alice. “What do you look like?”

“Hmm… alright, Dr. Mebius next,” Alicia said, ignoring what she said and continuing to start the conversation on her own.

She needs to learn from him, and she thinks Luo Mo is absolutely right, hitting the nail on the head!

“Mebius, so small, so flexible, and so arrogant,” Alicia said directly.

Mebius was furious, but the words were already out of her mouth. She could only glare fiercely at Luo Mo, her serpentine eyes flashing as a warning.

Unconsciously, she was also swayed by the rhythm and felt that it was Luo Mo's turn to speak.

"Among the heroes, he has the toughest tongue, possesses the power to reverse aging, and holds infinite secrets." Under Möbius's gaze, Luo Mo restrained himself somewhat.

But snakes, no matter how tough their mouths are, are soft when you kiss them!

"Hey, what do you mean by 'the toughest mouth'?!" Möbius glared at Lomo.

"Of course I mean, Doctor, you just won't admit it. Why is there a difference between what you think and what you say?"

Alicia smiled gently, patted Mebius's head, and said this.

"Get out of my way, Alicia!" Mebius tried his best to push Alicia away, but she was unable to resist due to her physical disadvantage.

The sharp-eyed Pado exclaimed, pointing at the screen, "Ai, Ai Li-jie!"

The death toll displayed in the black screen at the time led everyone to believe that the Second Honkai Impact was over, but little did they know that there were still side projects going on.

"What's wrong, Little Padre?" Upon hearing this, Alicia stopped moving her hands on her hips and turned around. At the end of the story, there was a dark chapter that could be clicked, with very small font below it, as if she wanted people to ignore it.

"Sister Aili, there seems to be another chapter following this."

"Hmm... Let me see, the day after tomorrow... talk? It's so small and inconspicuous, I almost missed it."

Alicia leaned closer and discovered that there was indeed another part of the story behind it, the color of which was very similar to the background color, but not many people noticed it.

"Luo Mo, what's going on?" Knowing that the game's top leader was present, she asked directly.

Luo Mo clapped his hands, suddenly realizing, "I knew it! It felt like a section was missing. It must be Su Luo's fault. She was in charge of the second collapse."

"Hmm...so, what exactly did that part say?"

"Of course it's a heartwarming and healing story! It was made with all my heart by Su Luo. Aren't you going to watch it?" Luo Mo said, looking at everyone present with wide eyes.

The story unfolds again, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Theresa, waking up in her hospital bed, listened to Amber's report while Otto slowly peeled an apple for her beside her. Her blue eyes stared blankly ahead.

She asked in a strained voice, "So, Grandpa, is this the truth?"

Otto sliced ​​the apple he had peeled and fed it to Theresa piece by piece, his expression gentle, but his words were cruel.

"Theresa, what people believe is what can be called the truth."

"Our Schicksal fought against the Second Herrscher on its own without any help, during which countless Valkyries, including Cecilia, tragically sacrificed themselves."

Otto said softly, "This is the truth."

Finally, he constructed a truth for history that was most favorable to destiny.

Siegfried sent the core of the Herrscher of Reason to Anti-Entropy. He could sense that Welt's consciousness was still inside, and that he was still alive.

Siegfried shook his head and refused Einstein's offer to recruit him.

He had a compelling reason to return to Destiny; his daughter, Kiana, was waiting for him there.

That was the only person in the world he truly loved.

Otto immediately began researching Kiana's bloodline. He was very curious; he had already witnessed the power of the Kaslana family, and the power of the Holy Blood still lingered in Siberia.

And what surprises will Kiana, the offspring of the two, bring him?

But the divine revelation of that scene still lingered in his mind. What did it signify?

Amber's report interrupted his thoughts.

"Your Excellency, your friend, she left without informing anyone after waking up. I'm sorry..."

"It's alright, let her go, she'll come back, because..."

Otto slowly delivered his final conclusion, "She has nowhere left to go..."

In the years that followed, Otto continued his experiments on humans, attempting to modulate the DNA of the Second Herrscher and Kiana, but the experiment known as K422 still failed...

Otto sighed softly, looking at the new, still unconscious experimental subject.

"Every step was perfect... how could this be... or is it that, Second Herrscher, you don't want to wake up?"

"What kind of dream are you having?"

In the girl's lost dreams, she repeatedly relives the warmth she felt at the end—her mother's embrace, the feeling of family.

She wondered if she were an ordinary person, would she still be able to feel that warmth?

"If I were given another chance..."

I want to hear her voice again.

Otto looked at the brain electromagnetic waves detected in the experiment, slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with barely suppressed surprise.

"ichliebedich"

The girl, longing for ordinary happiness, opened her eyes, hoping to hear that warm voice again, that spell of love.

...

"So, this is the truth about Kiana?" Alicia asked, no longer bothering to continue their playful banter.

"K423, she was a product of Otto's cloning experiments. She had no mother of her own, nor a name of her own... Life was merely someone else's plan for her, and fate always whispered misfortune in her ear."

Alicia looked somewhat sad. For some reason, she thought of herself, a product that had no connection with the world.

"Don't talk about me like that, it makes me feel weird." Kiana scratched her head. She had already confirmed that she was not an experimental subject.

"It's alright. Next, you will see her journey, and as a witness, you will see... the birth of a hero." Luo Mo no longer had the mood to continue his self-destructive introduction.

Chapter 36 The Deal of the Stigmata

"So, in the very end... Siegfried still couldn't rescue Kiana? Kiana... where did she go?"

Alicia watched Siegfried prepare to head to Schicksal headquarters. If the Kiana in the video was K423, then where was the real Kiana?

Where did she go? It wasn't mentioned at all in the main storyline!

Cecilia didn't quite understand either. She sighed and said softly, "Perhaps, the her in the game is no longer here."

After all, who could last long under the command of Bishop Otto, who coveted her power?

The cruelty of the game made her cherish the present and the future even more; isn't that the meaning of the game?

"Kaslana's union with the Shaniat family? Speaking of which, Miss Cecilia, I wonder if you still possess the power of that holy blood?"

Mebius had been observing Cecilia ever since she entered, but she couldn't see the magical power seen in the video. Instead, she saw... the power of the Stigmata?

Damn it, why haven't I received my Stigmata yet? I've been waiting for so long, has that guy forgotten?

Suddenly noticing that someone else possessed a Holy Mark that he himself did not, Mebius gritted his teeth, somewhat agitated, and gave Luo Mo a reproachful look.

This is different from what I told myself when I came out back then!

“Huh, me? I’m sorry, little sister, I don’t have that power anymore.” Cecilia said gently. In her opinion, it was strange that there were two children among the heroes, one pretending to be an adult and the other drawing alone, but what surprised her even more was the figure of Zhonghua in the corner.

"I never imagined that the Crimson Phoenix Immortal was also a hero from a previous civilization? In that case, her immense power has a better explanation," Cecilia thought to herself.

"Little...little sister? Never mind," Möbius exclaimed in surprise, somewhat exasperated. It seemed that her current body was still having some effect. She feigned ignorance and asked:

"Then why? Big sister, you survived. Without that power, it would be difficult to resist the erosion of the Honkai, right?"

"After the disaster, the holy blood disappeared, and the holy marks that were originally within me vanished without a trace."

Cecilia was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, her face showing no sadness, but rather a faint smile.

"But they were not without purpose; they sheltered many more people and protected that land."

Admittedly, she lost a lot, but one must always look forward.

“That’s true. At least Bronya was protected,” Luo Mo suddenly interjected.

“Bronya isn’t entirely sure, but she did grow up in Siberia. Seele did too,” Bronya said. “So that disaster affected her too? No… according to the timeline, Bronya wasn’t even born yet!”
