A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

Of course, there is a third possibility among these two—the core did not devour the Valkyrie's life, but it affected her spirit, transforming her into a Herrscher both physically and mentally.

The case where Wendy was transformed into a Herrscher in the Oceania branch is an example of this.

Gu Yu's ability to defeat Wendy and simultaneously shatter her Herrscher personality was beyond Otto's expectations.

If Otto had followed his original plan, the way to deal with these artificial Herrschers would have been either to send a powerful figure like Durandal to suppress them by force, or to have them fight against the Herrscher's friends and family, kill the Herrscher, and then reclaim their own personality, thus becoming a controllable Herrscher.

At this point, although Otto's plan was completely disrupted, he also exceeded the limits and achieved the result he wanted.

Apart from Kiana Kaslana, the Herrscher of the Void, Anna Schariac, the Herrscher of Ice, Wendy Vide, the Herrscher of Wind, and Raiden Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder, are all currently in what Otto calls the ideal state.

Although it's unknown when Otto plans to move the plan to the next stage, Fu Hua thinks that Otto's subsequent plans are basically limited to two possibilities.

One possibility is, as Gu Yu guessed, that he would rely on the Herrscher of the Void and the Key of the Void to achieve his envisioned goal.

Another option is to use the Tranquility Gem in Otto's possession and implant it into the Herrscher of the Void, who once manipulated the Tranquility Gem, so that he can attempt to revive his fiancée, Kallen Kaslana.

Regardless of which option Otto chooses, he will act immediately within a short period of time.

After all, Otto probably deduced something based on the events that unfolded today.

The day when the last Herrscher is born is not far away.

Although Otto was raising Honkai, this madman was raising Honkai in order to revive Kallen.

Fu Hua knew very well that after Otto resurrected Kallen, he definitely didn't want Kallen to perish along with the world shortly after her resurrection.

According to historical records, Kallen Kaslana sacrificed herself to protect the people from being killed by Honkai Beasts.

Such a righteous Valkyrie, after being resurrected, would naturally not stand idly by and watch the world perish.

Otto, naturally, would value Kallen's feelings and choose to stand up against the Honkai.

Even through Fu Hua's covert investigation, she discovered that Otto had already crafted a Valkyrie armor suitable for Kallen.

In short, Otto will definitely try to speed up his plans before the Herrscher of the End arrives.

When Otto takes action, that will probably be the moment when he and Gu Yu completely break off their relationship.

Fu Hua could sense that both Otto and Gu Yu had been suppressing their inner thoughts ever since they met.

Gu Yu was probably very unhappy with Otto, and Otto would often secretly trip Gu Yu up.

But putting all that aside, at least the two haven't really started fighting for real yet.

Otto probably restrained his inner thoughts for some reason, while Gu Yu probably did so to avoid the chaos of destiny and the resulting more casualties in the world.

But the moment Otto truly revealed his fangs, Gu Yu, no matter how much she restrained herself, would not allow Otto to continue his actions.

When that day came...

—The entire destiny is about to change.

…………

"Please tell me, who am I really?"

When Anna faced Kiana, who had uttered those words, she knew that the truth about the girl in front of her could no longer be hidden.

Perhaps she can fool the girl temporarily by lying here.

But after experiencing a life-or-death ordeal, Anna, for some reason, became even calmer.

If he chose to deceive the girl here now, the girl might be able to continue to deceive him based on Anna's lies.

But when this information is exposed to Kiana in its most brutal form once again, this girl who has been deceiving herself time and time again will surely break down completely on that day.

At that point, the Second Herrscher's personality will completely take over the girl's body.

After witnessing Gu Yu's battle, Anna was certain that with Gu Yu's strength, defeating the Second Herrscher once again would not be difficult.

However, at the same time, the Second Herald, as the person who was beaten, must be more aware of this matter.

She couldn't beat Gu Yu, so of course she wouldn't choose to be a fool and go head-to-head with Gu Yu after her second awakening.

As the second Herrscher of the Void, if she wanted to leave, no one could stop her from opening the Gate of Imaginary Numbers at will.

If that day ever comes, the Second Herrscher could simply do as she pleases, and then move on to another location to cause even more severe disasters around the world.

This is not the outcome that Ana Schariac, the Valkyrie, wanted to see.

"Alright, I'll tell you everything I know. But before I reveal the truth, Miss Kiana, please be prepared."

After swallowing hard, Kiana said nothing and waited quietly for Anna to continue.

After gathering her thoughts, Anna looked into Kiana's eyes and finally said helplessly.

“My status within the clan isn’t particularly high, so I can only tell you what I know.”

"After Lady Cecilia's death in battle, Mr. Siegfried, heartbroken by the loss of his beloved wife, succumbed to the effects of cheap alcohol."

"That's why he didn't care about anything else during that time. And this also caused Kiana's childhood to be shrouded in a heavy gloom due to her mother's death and her father's indifference."

"At the same time, Mr. Gu Yu, whose parents died in the Second Collapse, also lost his family property when he was young because of Mr. Siegfried’s indifference to him, the son of his old friend. He had no choice but to find a way to survive in Shenzhou."

"By the time Lady Theresa learned of all this, it was too late."

"In the days that followed, Bishop Otto, for reasons unknown, captured Lady Kiana from her clan and brought her to the Schicksal headquarters. I don't know the specifics, but when Mr. Siegfried and Lady Theresa learned of this, they chose to storm the Schicksal headquarters."

"It's a pity that in the end, Mr. Siegfried became a traitor to Schicksal, and Lady Theresa, for some reason, was also left behind at Schicksal by Lady Kiana, who was still at headquarters. Although I'm not entirely clear about the situation at the time, looking at it now..."

"—Mr. Siegfried's choice back then was probably related to you."

Chapter 510. Too Naive

Anna didn't provide much information, but it was enough for Kiana.

Combining her memories of the snowfield, the information the Herrscher of the Void shared with her during their multiple conversations, and what Gu Yu said when they communicated in the consciousness space, Kiana has roughly pieced together a timeline.

From the Second Herrscher's death in the Second Honkai Impact 3rd, Kiana Kaslana experienced her mother's death, her father's downfall, her own experience of human experimentation, her father's attempt to save her failing, and her return to Schicksal to continue being an experimental subject...

"Wait, how is Kiana now?!"

After piecing together the truth of the matter, Kiana suddenly asked with immense guilt.

"Could it be... that she's still at Schicksal headquarters being held by Otto...?"

"In the days that followed, after making a deal with Bishop Otto, Lady Kiana voluntarily became a Valkyrie of Schicksal. After participating in the [Bloodline Project] that Lady Cecilia had once been involved in, she gained a certain degree of freedom through her deal with Bishop Otto."

"After that, she voluntarily abandoned the name [Kiana Kaslana] and changed her name to Kiana Schariac. However, no matter how difficult the past was, Lady Kiana should be very happy now."

Seeing the guilt and heartache on the girl's face, Anna said with a hint of relief.

"At least the most important person to her... well, I should say her fiancé, Mr. Gu Yu, helped her secure enough freedom."

"So you don't need to make that face. Lady Kiana is doing quite well for now."

Bronya, who was secretly listening to the conversation outside her dormitory, finally understood what had happened in the past.

So that's how it is. Kiana Kaslana and Kiana Schariac are not the same person.

The idiot Kiana next to us is completely different from the young lady of the Shaniat clan.

In other words, Bronya's past assumptions...were all wrong???

That makes sense. If it were the idiot Kiana, how could she be so carefree in public while secretly having all sorts of interactions with Gu Yu?

But, but...

crisis!

Big crisis!

The Valkyrie named Anna didn't seem to be lying, which meant...

Gu Yu is really engaged to that young lady from the Shaniat clan!

Although Bronya's expression didn't change, the girl panicked completely after learning about it.

There are more and more competitors, and even classic manga storylines like "a boy and a girl made a vow and met again many years later" have appeared.

He glanced down at his incredibly immature figure, then looked at Kiana's curvaceous body.

If the idiot Kiana and that rich girl have similar figures, then considering her status, wouldn't Gu Yu be...?!

No, Bronya, calm down.

Gu Yu is such a wooden person that even if someone attacks him directly, he won't react.

But then again, he's such a wooden person...

Who can take him down now?

Bronya, her mind in turmoil and at a loss, could only quietly hide in her dormitory and continue listening.

"Wait, you mean, Brother Gu and Kiana... are engaged?"

Upon hearing this news, Kiana immediately leaned back tactically.

"How come I've never heard him mention such a thing?!"

"...Mr. Gu Yu has lost his memory. He told Lady Kiana about this, and Lady Kiana confirmed that it was not a lie."

After saying that, Anna asked a question in return.

"Didn't he tell you about this?"

I've already said that.

But we didn't believe it... After all that fuss, it turns out this is actually the truth?

I can't bring myself to say it.

Kiana had a feeling that the atmosphere would become very awkward if she said it.

So, under these circumstances, the two Herrscher girls stared at each other in the dormitory, neither of them saying a word.

It wasn't until Himeko returned from the academy and looked at the two staring at each other that she said helplessly.

“Anna, Theresa wants you to go to the St. Freya Academy office. Also, Kiana, Theresa said that now that you know the truth, your training will be doubled.”

"Now that the Herrscher power within you has also awakened, you must, like Mei and Wendy, master the Herrscher power within you as quickly as possible."

"I understand, Himeko-sensei."

After watching Anna get up, Kiana suddenly spoke to Anna's back.
