Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch

She picked it up and greeted some roommates.

Mei, Bronya, and Yulandel all shook their heads.

"That's weird. Who went to the wrong dormitory and left it here? Or is this a gift from someone?"

Kiana didn't quite understand.

She played with the doll for a while. It was exquisitely made, but the shape was a bit weird. She didn't like it very much, so she just threw it in the drawer.

"Domination...of the theater?"

"What a strange name. Is there such a theater here? Forget it, I'll ask Mr. Jizi tomorrow."

She took the ticket and looked at it again, confused.

After washing up, I yawned, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

"Zzz..."

“Zzz…Zzz…”

"Um……"

In a daze.

A dazzling light seemed to flash before Kiana's eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself standing in a completely unfamiliar space.

In front of me is a magnificent dark building, and the surrounding layout resembles a European castle from the classical era, simple and depressing.

There was no modern furniture and only candlelight.

"here it is?"

Kiana thought she was dreaming, so she pinched her face and it hurt, but she didn't wake up.

"Kiana, you're here, finally here! We've been waiting for you for so long!!"

A puppet appeared in front of her, its head turned 360 degrees, and a sharp and piercing voice came out.

"Wait for me? You are..."

Kiana discovered that she looked exactly like the doll she had seen not long ago.

The life-size puppets that move can give you a kind of uncanny valley effect after looking at them for a long time, which is very unpleasant.

“I am… I am…”

"You're actually one of us, Kiana. Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten?"

"Hehehe...it's okay. You'll remember everything here. Come on, come and take a look with me."

The puppet's limbs twisted into a strange angle, signaling Kiana to follow it.

"……don't want!"

Little Kiana felt something was very strange intuitively.

She quickly used Honkai energy to condense a weapon and assumed a combat stance.

"Ah, lie, lie -"

"Sure enough, we were right about you. You inherited some of the abilities of the Herrscher of the Sky and can fight with Honkai energy like the Herrscher."

The puppet leaned forward, its voice becoming even harsher and more excited.

"However, the moment you step into the Theater of Domination, your fate is sealed."

She clapped her hands.

"Come on, come on, Kiana, the show prepared for you begins."

"Kiana, you are very suitable to be one of us."

Swah——

The scene in front of me suddenly changed.

Kiana looked around and suddenly found herself standing in the center of the stage. In front of her was a high judges' platform with a puppet in the same attire standing on it.

“Judgment! Judgment!!”

Thousands of identical puppets were also sitting in the audience, shouting excitedly.

"quiet--"

The puppet on the referee's bench spoke loudly, looking at Kiana:

"Tell me your name."

"Don't tell you!"

Little Kiana was startled, thinking it was some kind of illusion magic, and she puffed her lips and spoke angrily.

"It's okay, we all know your name."

"Kiana, your name is Kiana, right? This is the name given to you by others."

The puppet in the audience laughed.

"Poor little fellow, do you really know who you are?"

"I……"

Kiana put her hands on her hips.

"I'm Kiana! I'm daddy and mommy's daughter!"

"Pfft hahahahaha——"

The puppets let out a shrill laugh.

"Daughter? Hahahaha——"

"You are nothing more than a cloned experiment with a core installed. Your life, your appearance, and even your abilities were all given to you by others."

"Do you really know who you are?"

As she spoke, a puppet came up to Kiana from behind and whispered in her ear.

"Aren't you curious at all about why you have more power than Mei, Bronya, and the others?"

"Gifted? Hahahahahaha—stop joking. That's because you're the Herrscher, the Herrscher who represents Honkai and destruction."

"You actually want to become a Valkyrie and help humanity defeat Honkai? Hehehe... How can there be such a fool as you in this world?"

“No, that’s not it!!…”

Little Kiana argued that when it came to talking, she was no match for the Thousand Herrscher.

"no?"

"Would you like to prove it? To feel it, to activate the hidden power within you."

The puppet continued to induce her.

"She is much stronger than you. Unlike you, who can only play house in the academy."

"Ah... If you don't know how to use this body, why not hand her over to the Herrscher of the Void?"

"No, I am not……"

Little Kiana was not good at speaking and was completely defeated by these guys. Her face turned red with anxiety.

"No? Then prove it to us? Hehe..."

"Come on, give it a try."

The puppets laughed strangely again.

"me……"

Kiana was at a loss.

Shila-

A crack suddenly appeared in the sky above the Domination Theater.

"Tsk, these guys are really quick. They dragged Kiana in right away?"

"Hurry up! If anything happens to her, we'll both be humiliated."

bang——

Two unfamiliar figures landed beside Kiana.

One is Gudako wearing Chaldea clothes and orange hair, and the other is a nanorobot wearing a black uniform and long silver-gray hair.

"Ah... Ritsuka-sister, Huifeng-sister."

Kiana recognized that these were the two older sisters who often appeared beside Lu Chen.

Seeing familiar people, she felt at ease.

"Uh, I'm not very good with children. Let the Commander explain it to you."

Gudako thought about it.

"Besides, something inappropriate for children is going to happen here soon. Should I get you out first?"

She stretched out her hand and performed a teleportation spell.

hum-

A bright light came out of little Kiana's body, and when she opened her eyes, she landed in the space station.

"mom!"

She immediately threw herself into Cecilia's arms.

"..."

The Herrscher of a Thousand looked at the two uninvited guests in confusion.

I don't understand how someone could enter the theater without permission.

After thinking for a moment, they felt more confident since this was their own field.

“Ah, intruder!!”

"I know, I know, you two are in the same group, right? Hehehe..."

"Yes! Yes! What an unexpected turn! This will make the show even more exciting!!"

“Unexpected twists will make the show even more exciting!!!”

The puppets turned their heads and danced.

bang bang bang-

The puppet in the referee's seat knocked on the table and tilted its head before speaking:

"You... are not Herrschers, nor are you replicants. No, you are not even human?"

"You guys want to save Kiana, right? Hehe, but we didn't do anything. We just guided her to discover herself..."

She continued to test the two with her words.

"Did you create her? Ah, how cruel! You gave her life, but you didn't tell her the truth..."

"Why do you do this? For fun? To satisfy your so-called scientific desires, like those mad scientists? Or is it for some more base purpose?"

"To deceive a child... Ah, so you are as despicable and dark as we are."

Xiao Hui sighed that the Thousand Herrscher's ability to talk nonsense had simply reached the pinnacle.

If Cecilia and others were really invited to debate, they would easily fall into a logical trap and have their psychological defenses broken.

But the two Chaos elements didn't care about that.

"How dare you attack our moral standards?"

Gudako snorted in dissatisfaction.

"So? Don't you admit that you're just as selfish, greedy, and despicable as the rest of us?"

The puppet laughed and asked sarcastically.
