A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

Anna wasn't exactly a skilled actress, and even though she tried her best to perform well in this scene, Kiana eventually saw through the flaws in Anna's words.

"No...no...am I...really Kiana?"

"You silly girl, what are you thinking!"

Himeko, seeing Kiana starting to doubt herself, immediately spoke sternly to Kiana.

"Who else could you be but Kiana? If there were more girls as stupid as you, the world wouldn't be far from destruction!"

"Oh? Himeko Murata, I almost forgot, you also seem to be searching for some kind of truth, right?"

Hearing Himeko Murata trying to pull Kiana back from despair, Kanade Fueki wasn't angry.

He slowly looked at the incredibly calm Himeko and then suddenly spoke.

"You joined Schicksal, it seems, to be because you're investigating the cause of your father Murata Ryusuke's death, right?"

? !

Although Himeko had already prepared herself mentally after seeing the three of them being targeted by Kanade Fueki.

But even though Himeko kept telling herself to stay calm, she was still shaken when she heard what Kanade Fueki said.

Ah, just as I expected.

"Your father left Destiny back then. And before that, the reason he asked for leave from Destiny was—to visit his daughter in North America."

"And after that, I seemed to see something interesting in the intelligence I had received."

No, that's not right.

"You're trying to fool me?!"

I can't listen to this anymore, Himeko Murata!

"In the Heavenly Mandate, the access required to obtain information about my father is almost at the highest level. How could someone of unknown origin like you possibly find out about my father's information!"

"Destiny? That data about prioritizing intelligence, how pathetic, you don't even know that?"

After gently stroking a ring on her finger, Fueki Kanade continued.

"After investigating the time period in which the incident occurred, I can use my power to pursue the truth of the past."

After the world was restored, before his identity was exposed, Fueki Kanade used his own methods to find materials similar to magic gems and forged several wizard rings that he had never owned before.

One of them is the Wizard Ring [Time] that Dimu uses as his trump card.

If this ring functions properly, the flute can travel back to the past and into the future.

Not long ago, he finally made up his mind and used a time magic ring while searching for information about Himeko Murata.

And then—he almost died.

When he activated the ring, an immense pressure emanated from all directions.

If Fueki Kanade hadn't created a clone in time, he would have been crushed into mincemeat by that oppressive force.

However, although he failed to travel through time, he did see some of the things that happened back then.

For example, after doing certain things, Ryusuke Murata betrayed his allies and attempted to seize the power of the First Herrscher.

If you look at it in a positive light, what he did could be described as him getting his hands dirty for the sake of humanity.

Conversely, Fueki could also argue that this man, for the sake of his own ambitions, chose to betray Welt, the First Herrscher, and his alien allies.

"Your father, driven by his own ambitions, manipulated the Fourth Divine Key to attack North America while deceiving your mentor, Welt Yang, and even attempted to kill him to seize the power of the First Herrscher—this is the truth you seek."

After stating his guess, Fueki Kanade snorted and continued.

"You think I'm not a good person? Of course, I'm not exactly a good person. But at least..."

"Compared to your father who wanted to sacrifice you as well, at least I'm a good father who thinks about his daughter!"

After Fueki Kanade finished speaking, Himeko's eyes suddenly began to glaze over.

She wanted to refute the other person's words, but when the words reached her lips, Himeko found that she was unable to refute them.

Why was Theresa unwilling to tell Ryusuke Murata about his information?

Why did her father already have a will prepared when she woke up after falling into a coma?

Why didn't her mentor, Walter, tell Himeko the truth about her father's death at the time?

If all of this can be said—why would others hide it from us?

If Himeko were just an ordinary little girl, she could still deceive herself and make herself not believe the man's lies.

But it was precisely because Himeko had investigated Ryusuke Murata's information for a long time that she learned...

These messages are very likely true.

Her father was not by her side when her mother was seriously ill in the past.

In the final moments of her life, her father chose betrayal and the sacrifice of innocent people...

"Why... Dad, why did you do this!"

At that moment, Kanade Fueki looked at Himeko Murata, who had completely collapsed, and then at Kiana, who was beginning to doubt herself because of Himeko's collapse. She felt that the time was almost ripe.

"Miss Anna, it seems you're planning to deceive Miss Kiana to help her through this difficult time, isn't that right? It's just a pity..."

"Right now, you can't do anything."

Chapter 472. Sixth

"As expected, that's how it is..."

As Kiana listened to the flute playing, everything before her eyes gradually blurred.

Damn dad... Auntie... So, everything about me was fake?

If I were a counterfeit...

"Why...why did you save me in the first place?!"

Seeing Kiana's frenzied state, Anna understood that Kiana was indeed, as Fueki Kanade had said, incapable of doing anything.

Although she didn't see the scene of Fueki Kanade killing her teammates, just as Fueki Kanade said—how could a villain like him leave any survivors under such circumstances?

Everyone died because of me?

And here... I couldn't save Kiana's heart either...

What use am I, anyway?

Seeing the ominous light emanating from Anna, Fueki Kanade suddenly felt uneasy.

Although all four of them quickly fell into despair, it was definitely a good thing for Fueki Kanade's plan.

But... these people despaired way too quickly, didn't they?

Something's not right. What went wrong?

Although my intention in targeting these four people was to make them despair, the speed at which this is happening...

Forget it, I can't worry about that anymore.

After taking out the ring she had prepared, Fueki Kanade looked at the four people who were in despair and put the ring on her right hand.

【Eclipse (Solar Eclipse Magic)】

After casting the spell, Fueki Kanade picked up her Hamel staff and began playing a melody of destruction.

The four of them suddenly burst into purple light, which transformed into pillars of light that shot into the dark sky.

The ground beneath their feet began to crack, and as the music played by the flute reached its climax...

The crimson magic circle that appeared beneath his feet began to frantically absorb the surrounding energy, transforming this life energy into magic power and condensing it in the very center of the circle.

"Very good...very good!"

Seeing the four people groaning in pain, all the fear and worries in Fueki Kanade's mind vanished.

Last time, during the Witch's Feast, he was completely drained of his magic by the damned Prototype who released the Chimera from his body.

But this time, in Sky City, where there are no powerful warriors...

No one can stop this witch's feast now!

He can imbue the Philosopher's Stone with magic and resurrect his own daughter!

His long-cherished wish...

This day has finally come true!

………………

At the same time, in Sky City.

In a small alley in Sky City, Gu Yu, his right hand clenched tightly, began preparing to activate the Aurora Curtain to head to the location he had guessed.

But before that...

"Since you're already here, why hide?"

Fu Hua, who was following behind Gu Yu, heard Gu Yu say these words with her back to her.

Although the girl wasn't afraid of being discovered, she was still very curious about how Gu Yu had discovered her existence.

She had clearly held her breath, suppressed the Honkai energy to the lowest level, and concealed her figure. Under normal circumstances, it was unlikely that Gu Yu would have instantly noticed her presence.

then……

"Mr. Gu Yu, you're getting more and more perceptive."

On a rooftop above the alley, Rita and Durandal lightly leaped down and landed in front of Gu Yu.

"What, is Otto worried about Kiana's safety and sent you here to protect her?"

"exactly."

After hearing Gu Yu's indifferent words, Yulandel spoke first.

“I know Mr. Gu Yu is very dissatisfied with Bishop Otto. But this time, we are here not only for Miss Kiana’s safety, but also for the safety of Sky City.”

"Since our goals don't conflict, how about we cooperate once?"
