Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"Again..." Kainuo nodded, suppressing a smile.

He could clearly imagine the despair on Otto's face when he was forced to make this decision, and it made him want to laugh just thinking about it.

Suddenly, several lasers shot out from the sky and gathered in a corner of London.

The conversation stopped immediately.

"Kaino, Bianca," Otto's voice came hurriedly from his tactical headset, "The Second God Key has been found, just above the Thames... Come and take it immediately!"

"Yes!"

"understood."

Yue Hai and Yue Po put on their armor almost simultaneously. With the help of their armored jets, Keno and Bianca quickly soared above the Thames. A large cube floated in the air, dissolving and shattering under the irradiation of several lasers, revealing the object within.

A...huge locomotive?

After seeing the true form of the so-called Second God's Key, Keno suddenly began to doubt his life.

Isn’t this a bit too big?

"G?" Bianca beside him exclaimed in surprise, "That's... you, brother?"

Kaino was stunned and followed Bianca's gaze to the top of the huge locomotive.

A Q-version figure who looked almost the same as he did without disguise opened his eyes as the Second God's Key was revealed, and stood up from the top of the locomotive holding a miniature Skyfire Greatsword.

"...No, there's still a little difference, right?" Kaino curled his lips and argued for himself, "Although the appearance is similar, my face is not that cold."

He always smiles.

To be honest, this armed doll thing is more like Kevin.

"Well, indeed." Bianca nodded in agreement, "Brother, you—"

Bianca stopped talking abruptly, and the Eternal Helaer fell into her hands. She exerted all her strength and rushed forward without hesitation.

As if locking onto Keno and Bianca, the small puppet leaped down from the locomotive, wielding the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire and slashing at them.

The spears and swords clashed, and the two men stopped dead in their tracks. An invisible shockwave spread out, and the waters of the Thames sank, tilting to the sides.

The attack failed, and both Bianca and the puppet retreated.

"Huh, very strong." Bianca took advantage of this opportunity to whisper to Kayno, "His strength is almost on par with mine. Is the technology of the previous civilization so powerful?"

"...No, this should just be an isolated case." Thinking of the several armed puppets he had seen before, Keno looked strange and couldn't help shaking his head.

After the two of them had been talking for just a short while, the puppet standing on the locomotive again half-bent down, holding the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire high in his hand, and the majestic flames roared in the sky.

"That weapon can be released?!" Bianca was horrified.

Without hesitation, she also raised the spear in her hand high, and two phantoms, one tall and thin and the other strong, reappeared from behind her.

"King! Queen!" Bianca stared at the doll and gritted her teeth, "Help me—"

"Let me do it." Taking his strange gaze away from the two phantoms, Kayno patted Bianca's shoulder to stop her.

Not to mention that due to historical factors, he had extremely little confidence in the two phantoms. If the two really fought, who knows how much of London would be destroyed.

Leaping into the air, Kayno stared at the puppet and took a deep breath. He used all of his power to activate it, and purple-black lightning, nearly distorting space, raged behind Kayno.

Staring at Kaynor's figure, the puppet's eyes flickered slightly. As if a mechanism had been triggered, the flames above the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire intensified, almost rivaling the unsheathed power of real Heavenly Fire. In terms of power alone, it even surpassed ordinary Heavenly Fire!

Without any hesitation, the puppet, carrying flames and drying the sea water along the way, rushed towards Keno.

Kainuo frowned, and as he swung his arm down, he slightly shifted the direction of the attack.

The next moment, thunder and lightning roared past. The flames were instantly extinguished, and the once imposing puppet fell from the sky.

The remaining lightning pierced the sea, tearing the earth apart. A huge funnel-shaped vortex suddenly appeared on the sea surface, with a bottomless gap at the bottom.

Chapter 192: The Herrscher of the Void? Not worth mentioning

Seeing that many special mechas that were on standby in the sky threw out special steel cables to pick up the Second God's Key the moment the armed puppet fell, Kayno gave up the idea of ​​using his power to control it directly, and slowly descended to the ground, and the moon skeleton disintegrated instantly.

Seeing Keno land, unlike Siegfried who stood aside and hesitated, not knowing how to start a conversation, Theresa rushed over with shining eyes.

"You did a great job, nephew!" Theresa praised. "That lightning was so powerful! I feel like even Mei couldn't compare to it... Ugh, wow!"

Aunt, what are you saying?

Covering his aunt's mouth tightly, Kaino blinked, smiled at Rita who was looking at him with interest, and explained: "Aunt has been reading too many Holm comics recently, so she is talking nonsense. Don't pay too much attention to it."

"Don't worry, everyone has their own secrets, and Rita won't pry into them without permission."

As she spoke, an unnatural blush appeared on Rita's cheeks, and her eyes were filled with expectation as she looked at Theresa, who was struggling frantically with Kaino's hands.

"Do you need any help, Lord Kaino? Rita has some experience in caring for children."

As if she heard the whisper of the devil, Theresa, who was originally struggling hard, widened her eyes and flapped her legs twice, and finally calmed down completely in the face of Rita's disappointed eyes.

Kainuo was stunned when he found that the aunt in his hand had stopped moving, and he looked at Rita with a strange look.

"It can be seen that you are indeed experienced in taking care of children, Rita."

Theresa stamped her foot angrily.

Rita, on the other hand, returned to her usual perfect maid form and nodded with a smile: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

After his stunt, Kayno released Theresa. He glanced at Bianca, who had retrieved the armed puppet by herself and held it up to talk to Otto personally, demanding that Otto repair it. A chill ran down Kayno's spine.

Considering that Bianca and the doll had almost the same fighting power before, it was almost unnecessary to guess why his sister wanted to repair the doll. The first thing she thought of was to use it as a sparring partner.

Originally, this was a good thing. It was encouraging for a child to strive for excellence. But considering that the doll's face looked so much like his own...

No, I have to divert my sister's attention!

"Aunt." Half squatting, Keno observed Bianca and whispered to Theresa's head, "Did you bring the gift Mom gave us?"

"Need I ask? Of course I brought them!" Theresa put her hands on her hips and looked at Kainuo with a hint of dissatisfaction. "There are only three boxes in total. You and Bianca are here, so of course I just brought them."

She simply pressed the button on the portable device on her wrist. After a flash of blue light, three exquisitely packaged black boxes instantly appeared in Theresa's hand.

Seeing this scene, Siegfried, who had been watching from the sidelines, seemed to have finally found a topic to talk about, and came forward with shining eyes.

"This box... I remember Cecilia prepared it for Kaino and Kiana, right?"

As he spoke, Siegfried observed Kaino's expression cautiously.

"Come to think of it, when I took you guys, Keno, away from Tianming, I considered whether or not to take you with me. But in the end, considering it was still a long time before your sixteenth birthday, and that Theresa was helping out in Tianming, I decided not to do so."

"Well, speaking of birthdays... Kaino, your sixteenth birthday has already passed, right? How was it?"

"Of course I passed. It's generally okay."

Looking at his father's unnatural expression, Keno paused, then couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't worry, Dad. I have no thorns in my heart. Although we haven't seen each other for so many years, our material life is pretty good... well, except for the period of depression when I first thought my sister was dead, my spiritual needs are also met."

Thinking back on the days when he was pulled out of the shadows by the friends and priests in the orphanage, and the happy and fulfilling time that followed, Kainuo couldn't help but sigh.

I really miss you after not seeing you for a long time. I will go back and visit you after I solve the collapse or complete Otto's so-called resurrection.

"Also, although it's not appropriate for me to say this, Bianca probably doesn't hold any grudges." Seeing that Siegfried still seemed a little uneasy, Kayno pointed at Bianca and continued, "From what I understand, she's lived a fulfilling and satisfying life during these years of amnesia, and has found a new self."

"After learning that she had relatives, she didn't show any emotion like, 'Why didn't you look for me all these years?' Instead, she was filled with joy."

"Is that so?" Siegfried was visibly relieved.

"Of course, not everyone is completely free of grudges."

"Who?!" Siegfried became nervous again.

"Kiana, you left her without her knowing anything. She wandered alone for years, worrying that her father didn't like her anymore and didn't want her anymore. Even though she didn't say anything on her birthday, I could tell she was really disappointed because she was missing a gift. So..."

"No matter what your excuse is, don't even think about running away once you get out of the Stigmata space. Even if I have to break your legs, I will drag you to Saint Freya and Kiana to meet each other."

Keno narrowed his eyes slightly and his true intentions were revealed.

The whole family is finally together. If they don’t recognize each other now, when will they?

"But I really can't!" Siegfried said anxiously: "If I appear in front of Kiana, the Herrscher of the Void consciousness in her body will be stimulated, and Kiana will lose--"

"Herrser of the Void? Ha, that's nothing to worry about." Waving his hands impatiently, Kayno interrupted Siegfried. "No matter what, you must come back with us!"

"This..." Looking at Kaino who was staring at him intently, Siegfried, who was about to say something else, nodded and softened his tone: "Okay."

"But let me say this first, if Kiana loses control again, I will definitely leave!"

"Okay!" Kainuo said with a smile.

It was certainly not arrogance for him to underestimate the consciousness of the so-called Ruler of the Void.

He has a set of Yu Duchen in his hand, and Fu Hua in Saint Freya also has a set of Yu Duchen as expected. If that doesn't work, he can project some more Yu Duchen.

In addition, he also has a core of the Herrscher of Erosion, and there is also a Herrscher of Consciousness on Mount Taixu... With so many Herrscher-level combat forces specializing in consciousness coming together, it would be a problem if they still couldn't defeat a mere Second Herrscher.

Humanity can just surrender right where it is.

"Ah, by the way, there's one more thing."

Staring into Siegfried's eyes, Keno's expression became serious.

He stared at her like this for several seconds, until Siegfried felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. Then Kaino took a deep breath and said apologetically:

"Dad, I'm sorry."

"Ah? Ah?!" Siegfried obviously didn't react. He looked at Kaino, somewhat bewildered. "Kaino, what are you apologizing for?"

"What about knocking me out earlier? That's not important. It's better to say that you did a good job. After all... after all, you beat me. As a parent, of course I'm happy, right?"

Siegfried was obviously a little frightened, and even spoke incoherently.

"No." With a deep sigh, Keno shook his head.

"It's about my apology for all these years."

Siegfried shuddered, lowered his head and said nothing.

"For so many years, I wasn't the only one who thought I had lost my sister. My aunt thought she had lost both of us. Kiana didn't know why she was left behind... Dad, you also completely thought Kiana and I were dead."

Still staring at the trembling Siegfried, Kaino continued.

"Your wife died fighting alongside you to protect the world, and your son and daughter were seriously injured in a plane crash right before your eyes. I can easily guess that you must have been losing control of your emotions and crying all day. Honestly, I'm very grateful to Kiana. If it weren't for her, you might have committed suicide out of despair."

"I can also imagine you telling yourself that we're already dead and that searching near the crash site, where Destiny is likely lingering, is irrational. And then you abandon your sanity and return several times alone, burying the thought in your heart that Kiana and Kayno might still be alive, just waiting for me to discover them."

"You watched Kiana, who looked just like Bianca, jumping around in front of you, constantly reminding you of our mortality. You suppressed your anger, refusing to accuse or curse, swallowing all the injustice and enduring it all for years."

"And the one who caused all this, besides Otto, who used Bianca for cloning experiments without authorization..."

Looking at Siegfried, whose body was twitching slightly, Kaino said in a deep voice:

"They were two kids who ignored your advice and insisted on joining you in the K423 snatching operation. And all you did was finally give in to their persuasion."

"So, I'm sorry."

For a moment, there was silence all around - except for the faint, deliberately suppressed sobs coming from Siegfried.

a long time.

"Well, nephew?" Theresa's arms trembled slightly, and she broke the silence with an awkward smile. "Although I know it might not be good to speak out at this time...but it's really tiring to hold all these boxes still, right?"

Chapter 193 May the Moonlight Protect You

"Hey, Theresa!" Siegfried, who had been preparing for a good relationship but was interrupted, suddenly raised his head and knocked Theresa's head, staring at her fiercely with his red eyes.

"I say, do you understand the atmosphere? We're having a peaceful conversation as father and son, why are you butting in?"

"Besides, don't think I don't know that you have the dual genes of Kaslana and Honkai Beast in your body. Although you are not tall, you are stronger than our Kaslana. It's just a few boxes, can you lift them?"

"Being able to lift something is one thing, holding it for a long time is another. Many people can't even hold it for long with their arms raised horizontally... No, who are you calling short? Siegfried, do you want to die?!"

Theresa, halfway through her speech, realized she was being mocked. She looked up at Siegfried with gritted teeth and immediately wanted to reach out and hit him. But considering the box in her hand, she only raised her foot high and stomped hard.

"Ow!"

"Hmph, now you know how powerful I am?" Theresa raised her head proudly and looked at Siegfried with a provocative look.

Not only did she successfully maintain her dignity in front of her two children, but she also made those who framed her suffer, which made her feel very majestic.

"Ahem, Auntie, let me do it." Kayno took the gift box from Theresa's hand and stuffed it into his father's arms without hesitation.

Siegfried, whose foot was still aching, looked at Keno with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Bianca and I need to open our presents. As for Auntie...if she keeps holding me, I'm afraid your feet will be ruined," Kainuo whispered. "And squat down a little, or Auntie won't be able to reach me."

After instructing Siegfried, Kayno turned to look at Otto, who was fiddling with the armed puppet with a painful look on his face, and Bianca, who was standing opposite him and seemed eager to try, and waved in their direction.
