Is Kiana in Onphalos?

"nonsense!"

Raiden Mei laughed in exasperation.

However, she didn't know why she didn't take action but instead started arguing.

"Kiana is clearly a slender girl. Although she has a good figure, she's not as well-developed as you! You imposter, even if you're pretending, don't you even understand this most basic thing?"

"So, who's the imposter?" Kiana asked Raiden Mei with great interest.

Don't even say it.

She wanted to see them make such a fuss.

"Is there a possibility..."

Durandal spoke up at the opportune moment, "Is she the real Kiana?"

Raiden Mei, look over here.

she explained.

"Miss Mei, the Kiana you know is K423."

“If His Excellency the Bishop did not create any new clones, and the other clones were indeed destroyed long ago as he said.”

"Does that mean that, apart from K423, the girl with that face is the real Kiana?"

“…” Raiden Mei fell silent for a moment.

She couldn't help but question, "But I heard that the real Kiana fell from a height of 10,000 meters due to an air raid. How could a mere nine-year-old girl possibly survive?"

"But what if?"

Durandal analyzed it carefully.

"If the other person was really saved by someone and has now appeared, then it makes perfect sense."

The more she talked, the more she felt she had discovered the truth.

"After all, it is said that at that time, no remains were found. Fate did not find the other party's remains."

"Disappearance... means anything is possible."

"Isn't it?"

Text: 127. Raiden Mei: I'm protecting Kiana, who agrees and who disagrees?

“…” Raiden Mei fell silent.

It must be said that she was indeed persuaded by Durandal.

Although she wasn't familiar with the real Kiana, the thought that her important person, K423, used the real Kiana's DNA made her very special.

When she looked at Kiana not far away, a subtle emotion involuntarily crept into her eyes.

But you know what!

Raiden Mei and Durandal didn't lower their voices excessively during their conversation.

It was even more impossible to hide it from Kiana.

So Kiana was always listening.

Then! She saw Durandal confidently declare that she was the real Kiana. Raiden Mei's gaze shifted from shock and doubt to thoughtful contemplation, and finally to belief.

She was literally laughing so hard she was about to die.

While in some ways she is indeed Kiana. The real Kiana!

But she is Kiana of Onphalus! Kiana of Ariasm!

The real Kiana from Honkai Impact 8rd is an isomorph from a different world!

So Durandal, you, the real Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd, keep saying, "I am the real Kiana." Why does that sound so strange to me?

Kiana knew, of course, that Durandal was real.

But Durandal didn't know that she was the real Kiana.

Because she lost her memory.

Therefore, she is now simply Durandal, Bianca Atagina.

At this point in time, besides Otto who is perfectly clear-headed and knows her true identity, only Rita knows that she is the real Kiana.

And that's how the misunderstanding arose.

Kiana said firmly that her name was Kiana.

In Raiden Mei's opinion, Kiana's fate was unknown back then, and she had disappeared. Anything is possible in the Honkai world, so if she looks like her, and no one has the technology to clone her, then it can't be the real Kiana.

From Durandal's perspective, it was even simpler. Perhaps it was someone who rescued Kiana back then, and now, for some reason, has finally released her.

Otherwise, a mere nine-year-old child, whether dead or alive, would surely be found near the scene of the incident if no one took him away.

If it cannot be found, it proves that someone else is interfering.

If all else fails, just ask Otto!

At least Bishop Otto shouldn't hide these issues from her.

What's more! Whether it's the real Kiana or a fake, cloned imposter, Durandal doesn't really care.

After all, she wasn't very familiar with Kiana.

Even if we're familiar with each other, it's only with K423.

Now that Kiana is standing directly in front of them, it's clear she's trying to stop them from facing the Herrscher of Ice.

So the Kiana in front of us might be an enemy, not a friend.

Therefore, Durandal doesn't seem to be considering as much as Raiden Mei does.

Raiden Mei might waver because of K423, and might consider the original body's thoughts from K-Chi's perspective.

She won't.

All she knew was that she had to complete her mission.

Although her stated task was to defeat the Herrscher of Ice, Otto had specifically instructed her to capture her if possible.

If we can't capture it, we'll find a way to kill it.

Fortunately, Durandal learned that Anna still had hope. In the initial stages, she suppressed the Herrscher's power, resulting in the rescue of many civilians.

Therefore, Durandal was indeed more inclined to capture the Herrscher of Ice.

After all, killing her would be easy. But it would be such a waste.

"..." Raiden Mei looked at Durandal.

"..." Durandal also calmly looked at Raiden Mei.

Yes.

They arrived after they had met up.

but.

One represents the world serpent, and the other represents destiny.

Even if the two organizations start cooperating.

They can't be considered to be of one mind.

Therefore, Raiden Mei was watching Durandal, waiting to see what she would say. Durandal was watching Raiden Mei, also waiting for Raiden Mei's actions.

Suddenly, Kiana seemed to have been left out, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

However, Kiana could sense it.

Raiden Mei seemed to be subtly protecting her.

Even her stance was slightly turned to the side, facing Durandal. It was as if Durandal was her enemy.

She touched her face subconsciously.

Regardless of whether Raiden Mei is real or fake, she's already prepared to protect her just because of her face.

Moreover.

Her mission is to be the Herrscher of Ice.

The Ice Herrscher is currently quite quiet. She's not in a hurry either.

Durandal seemed to have realized this as well.

He frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more.

and so.

It seems like things have reached a stalemate?

"Durandal...Lady?" Rita arrived and was somewhat bewildered to see Raiden Mei and Durandal facing off as if they were about to turn on each other.

Then she saw Kiana standing in the distance watching the show, and she was even more confused.

What the hell?

what's the situation? !

This face... how is this possible?!

That's right.

Rita was incredibly shocked by the Kiana who had appeared because she knew the real Kiana's identity.

Schicksal monitors the entire globe; ordinary organizations simply don't have the qualifications to obtain Kiana's DNA, let alone clone her.

If such a situation existed, Otto would have destroyed it long ago.

therefore.

Aside from entropy reversal, the World Serpent, whether in terms of size, capabilities, motives, and so on...

None of these conditions constitute forging Kiana.

Rita, who had been doing all sorts of dirty work for Otto for years, naturally knew that there were people within Schicksal who had suggested trying to reactivate Kiana's DNA for related research.

But Otto rejected them all.

He indicated that he had achieved his goal.

Whether it's K423 who resurrected Sirin or the real Kiana, there are far more than clones.

Not to mention.

Others might not know, but Rita had heard of it. Kiana's cloning genes are very special.

If it weren't for the miracle of K423, the mere fusion of the Shaniat and Kaslana bloodlines would have been enough to render any clone inanimate.

In particular, Otto did not fuse Kiana's genes alone, but added the DNA of the Second Herrscher, Sirin, to create the K-series clone.

As a result, some of them did not even generate brainwaves, except for those who had the core K423 implanted.

This further prevents ordinary organizations, or even anti-entropy, from stealing Kiana's DNA and creating clones like K423.

Is it the World Serpent?

Rita couldn't help but think to herself.

World snakes are indeed possible...

Even more! They also have the means to obtain DNA material.

After all, Otto had destroyed all the materials back then. If they didn't start with K423, no one would know Durandal's true identity, making it even more impossible to obtain the materials.

however!

Rita glanced at Raiden Mei.

After thinking about it carefully, I still shook my head slightly.

Text: 128. Chen Tianwen, you, you stay away!

Even if the two organizations each have their own agendas.

But at least on the surface, they are still cooperating.
