Kiana's dream about Sirin also hints at this point; how could she easily dream of those laboratory scenes if she weren't experiencing them herself?

[It's so itchy, I can't take it, my brain's going to grow out... Looking at it this way, doesn't that mean the Queen is a bug too?]

With the spirit of the spring present, the queen suddenly didn't seem so terrifying.

“??” Xilin tilted her head, indicating that she didn’t understand.

Then, she turned to Cecilia, shook her leg, and tried to get her mother to help explain.

Why am I now two?

"Phew—it seems you and Kiana are twins. I see. No wonder you like to fight; you probably started when you were very young."

Cecilia took a deep breath, winked mischievously, and said with a smile.

"!!" Celine's lips twitched, her big eyes blinking in confusion.

"Alright, just the two of you are fine now, don't worry about anything else."

Cecilia shoved her, indicating that she didn't need to worry about it.

"No matter what, I can't possibly be Kiana's twin. Don't be so ridiculous, Mom. Look, our hair colors are completely different..."

Sirin brushed a strand of hair aside, trying to explain, the shimmering purple strands rubbing against her fingers.

But upon closer inspection, there were some leftover food crumbs on it, though very, very few, and it was hard to tell if they were bread or potato chips. Thankfully, it wasn't instant noodles.

Cecilia fell silent for a moment, her face darkening, and she gave a forced smile.

"Cirin, were you eating snacks while suspended in mid-air again?"

"No, absolutely not!" Sirin replied earnestly, but her eyes betrayed her guilt.

She didn't even know where she had gone wrong.

Cecilia then sighed, picked up Sirin, and went to wash her hair; she was such a troublesome girl.

Meanwhile, Sirin was still struggling to resist, but it was all in vain.

...

The villa fell silent after those words, everyone stunned by Kiana's statement.

Although there was a second collapse as a prelude, their perceived goal was wrong all along, which is why Kiana always seemed to be hiding something. As the person involved, she should have guessed about her relationship with Sirin long ago.

"They're all... Sirin? I see. That explains everything I said earlier."

Fu Hua feigned sudden realization and sighed.

Sirin did indeed die during the Second Honkai Impact. The original consciousness of the remaining Sirin was already somewhat disharmonious, and it is equally incredible that the clones could generate human consciousness.

But if things turn out this way, and considering that Celine said she could never get rid of her no matter what,

The answer is actually quite clear.

If the two of them are one, then there is no external force that can forcibly separate them, and everything makes sense.

"Kiana... is Sirin? Both of them are Sirin? Wait... never mind, let me see her explanation again."

Those who understood the law frowned and watched intently.

Although she knew Kiana had won, she really didn't know how Sirin had defeated her.

"...Second sister wouldn't, no, no, we're not in the same body."

Kiana suddenly had a strange thought: could she be an extension of Sirin, just like in the parallel world?

But soon, she shook her head again, this time she knew her own background clearly.

"Therefore, there is another explanation for why the Herrscher of the Void in the game is single-mindedly focused on destruction, because the real Sirin is not able to single-mindedly destroy humanity, especially after cutting off the instigation of Honkai."

Fu Hua adopted a detective-like, thoughtful expression, her right hand slightly clenched into a fist, her index finger and thumb stroking her chin.

She had been following Sirin's situation closely, which is why she felt there were many differences between the game and reality. Relatively speaking, Sirin seemed more relaxed, decadent, and wanting to enjoy life? She didn't seem as aggressive.

"The explanation is there, but isn't the situation in the game obviously more complicated?"

Bronya pointed to the two people who were at odds, indicating that everyone could continue to watch the developments.

She then continued mercilessly, "However, that idiot Kiana speaks so eloquently and clearly in the game, even her word choice is flawless... I wish that idiot Kiana could learn from her game self sometime, otherwise, when she actually faces the Herrscher of Domination, won't she be driven to despair by it?"

After saying that, he shook his head with great regret, expressing his deep remorse.

"...I...I've been working hard, neglecting my meals and sleep, striving in every way possible—besides, Sirin...Sirin wouldn't normally say something like that, maybe it was just a specific situation that triggered it!"

Kiana pouted and protested in dissatisfaction.

...

In this deep, silent space, the Herrscher of the Void burst into unrestrained laughter.

She laughed mockingly at Kiana as if she had heard a joke.

"Hahahaha—so now you're claiming to be Sirin? You're just delusional, your brain's gone mad!"

"Alright, I'd like to see how you plan to fulfill Sirin's wish and destroy the world she couldn't destroy?"

"Yes, this has always been your method."

Kiana calmly explained her reasons for doing so, refuting the argument with absolute rationality and clarity.

“You identify yourself as Sirin and vent your malice and hatred at will, thus separating me from the real Sirin and making me refuse to face my own identity.”

"But that's just your wish, not Celine's. Her dreams contain both turbulent, murky darkness and calm, warm glimmers of light."

"Complex and contradictory emotions were intertwined in her heart, but you only wanted me to see the resentment in them."

Indeed, the memories of the girl named Sirin were not only filled with sadness; that love spell echoed in her mind until the very last moment of her life.

"Hehe—, alright, then let's have a good chat."

The Herrscher of the Void casually brought it up, her eyes still filled with disdain.

“Those sanctimonious researchers took Celine away in the name of hope, pushing her into the depths of hell—since that day, she hasn’t had a single peaceful night’s sleep.”

“Hate, contempt, and hatred grow in that moment, and what is created is humanity itself.”

His words were firm and unwavering.

"But there, she also met Aurora, Agatha, and Bella. They were her friends, names she still held dear until the very end."

Kiana provided her evidence: those who once held an important place in Sirin's heart were the ones who had given her moments of warmth.

"The Honkai tore Sirin's heart apart, but she never forgot those names and still longed to reunite with them."

"But in the end, it was still humans who took them away and made them victims."

The Herrscher of the Void coldly looked at Kiana and said, "They are dead. Even the Herrscher of Death cannot bring them back. Sirin ultimately lost them."

"So...she chose revenge. Perhaps there were innocent people in that tower, but Sirin no longer cared. She inflicted her own pain on another person without any hesitation, because she no longer wanted to be among humans."

"But even then, there were still people who wanted to save her!"

"save?"

The Herrscher of the Void chuckled and began listing them for her one by one.

"You mean Theresa? She's all talk and no action, nothing practical, and completely useless."

"Siegfried? Ha, he's a coward, timid and indecisive. He... shouldn't be included."

"As for Cecilia..."

The Herrscher of the Void hesitated for a rare moment, but quickly resumed her usual cold laugh. "She may have strange feelings for Sirin, but love is too pale and powerless in the face of hate. The world does not allow her to do so, and in the end, she can only turn against Sirin with weapons."

"They killed her together—that's what you call 'saving' her. Your so-called kindness and understanding are the deepest irony of Sirin's fate."

The Herrscher of the Void mercilessly mocked everyone, including the self-righteous Kiana in front of her.

None of them could save Celine.

Suddenly I realize that what the Herrscher of the Void said makes a lot of sense. Kiana isn't wrong either; there's no arguing with that.

[Sirin is viewing things from a malicious perspective, so everything she sees is humanity's fault; Kiana, on the other hand, sees the beauty that Sirin once experienced, even if... it's far removed from the immense malice she felt.]

Kiana is the protagonist for a reason; she remembers every good thing others have done for her, but doesn't hold grudges... This is an excellent quality, and such people are rare in reality.

"Is that so? So... that's what she was thinking? No wonder..."

Theresa lowered her head, her eyes red, and pursed her lips.

Cecilia and Cecilia have a very good relationship, so good that they are always by each other's side, but Cecilia only shows a slight kindness towards Cecilia—although it is still much higher than that towards others.

"All you do is talk a good game... Such an accurate analysis. I was the first one there, even though... If it were Cecilia, everything would have stopped at the very beginning."

She couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling somewhat regretful, but there was nothing she could do.

"But Theresa, you were still the first Schicksal member to extend goodwill to her, paving the way for Cecilia's later appearance."

Luo Mo comforted him,

After all, he'd been eating here for ages, even though there was a lot of bitter melon in the food, which he didn't like... He'd also been staying here for ages, even though he'd created a Herrscher class for her...

Then... for the sake of the moonlight?

Luo Mo nodded secretly, happily accepting his suggestion.

"Really? Luo Mo? You didn't kick me when I'm down?"

Theresa rubbed her eyes, the tears that were about to fall were suppressed by her surprise, and she spoke her true feelings directly.

"Am I that kind of person?"

Luo Mo rolled his eyes at Theresa, letting her figure it out herself.

"Alright, Theresa, you still did a great job, but back then... you were still a bit too inexperienced to guide her back to the right path."

Karen lovingly patted Theresa's head.

She didn't do a good job, but she will grow and is willing to work hard for it, and that's the most important thing.

"It seems Miss Theresa has a big misunderstanding about the Captain. He only likes to kick people when they're not sad... Perhaps that's not kicking them when they're down, but playing a prank?"

Eileen smiled and added, glancing back at Stargazer as if to provoke her—that she knew the captain better.
