Star Railway, starting as Kiana

"You mean, this way?"

As Kiana finished speaking, she herself laughed at her own words. Although there were many references to Valkyrie Judah, the Divine Keys were not artificial life forms. Apart from the Void Archives, which was a self-contained library, the other Divine Keys, although they had their own temperaments and would be matched with their users, had never shown independent will.

But Judah seemed to have guessed Kiana's thoughts, and extended another chain. The two chains intertwined, forming an arrow shape that pointed in the direction they had just come from.

"Oh no, Judas has become a demon. I wonder if Theresa knows about this."

Judah's functions were so comprehensive that it's not surprising that he now has additional navigation functions.

Guided by Judah, Kiana moved forward faster, but when she reached the center of the warehouse and saw that the original armor of the tank had turned completely black, as if Bronya had gone berserk, Kiana slapped her forehead.

"Damn it, I didn't realize this mission at first, so I'm a step too late."

"Sister, stop complaining and come help me!"

Ya! Yi and a small Guiyi Qiangzhong Jinye (dodge two times to avoid Bronya's dark attack, and also pull the distance between Ba and Ling Bronya).

Facing the cluster attacks of the heavily armed bunny, and the bombs that were constantly being dropped on the ground, the two were having a really tough time.

Upon seeing Kiana's arrival, the two immediately showed joy.

Kiana did not disappoint them, patting Judah beside her and pointing in Bronya's direction.

"Go, Valkyrie Judah, you are chosen!"

Judah unfurled, and several chains shot out, instantly binding Bronya to the spot.

But when Xiaoqi looked at Judah's chains and then at Bronya's current posture, she suddenly felt that it was eight or nine parts similar to the plot of a comic she had secretly bought without anyone's knowledge some time ago.

"So that's how it is! So the tentacle monsters really exist. Perhaps someone saw Judah's attack and created the tentacle series!"

There are two versions of Judah's chains: one is a golden chain, the kind seen in the story, and the other is tentacles, the form seen in the comics.

"After returning to St. Freya Academy, Bronya was sent for a full check-up. The school determined that the energy from the Moon Throne Engine had interfered with her biochip, and therefore repairs were performed."

“I don’t believe that!”

Kiana, who was being lectured by Theresa, quickly read through the files Theresa had placed on her desktop and then began to criticize them.

Then...

"Peng!"

"I've already told you, don't peek at my documents! Also, I'm talking to you, so as your junior, you should listen to me properly! Don't secretly take Judas out to play without permission. Do you know that I haven't had a break for days because I've been helping you with the paperwork!"

"Ah, wasn't it because of reading comics? By the way, do you need any procedures to take Judas out for fun?"

Hearing his wife say this, De San Li Ling Sha suddenly felt a little embarrassed, after all, she had been staying up late every day recently, and it was indeed all for watching the Spring Fever paintings.

But she pretended not to hear and maintained that "dignified" demeanor.

"Of course, if the Divine Keys could be taken out and used casually, wouldn't that be chaos? Even the Valkyrie armor is like that, otherwise, if it's lost, where would you find it?"

"Hmm, so Theresa, did you also go through the proper procedures to bring all sorts of drinks, snacks, and convenient tools with you, Judah?"

At this point, Theresa turned her head away, avoiding Kiana's gaze.

Clearly, she hadn't gone through any of these procedures. There was nothing she could do; the granddaughter of the Bishop of Destiny was someone no one could control, even if she demolished the Destiny headquarters.

"Hey, so you didn't call me here just to make me apologize, did you?"

Chapter 161 Otto, my head is so itchy... Ah, it's because I have an extra hat.

"Ahem, of course not. You should know that the annual Valkyrie Exam is about to begin."

"Of course I know. Everyone's been working hard lately, which has inspired me."

Theresa looked at the man lounging lazily on the sofa she used to entertain guests, eating the snacks she had bought and drinking the juice she had taken from Judas.

She genuinely couldn't see that Kiana had been affected by the tense atmosphere at the academy.

"Hey, can't you learn from Fu Hua?"

"Stop, stop. There's no need for lecturing. Besides, I'm already a nominal A-rank Valkyrie. I don't play video games in the dorm every day or sleep in class and disrupt the lesson. Isn't that good enough?"

"Don't compare yourself to your sister! Why are you trying to outdo her in laziness?"

"Never mind." Theresa understood that the tactics used against Himeko were completely ineffective against Kiana.

So she turned on the computer and gestured for Kiana to come over and take a look.

Just as Theresa was about to move to make enough space for Kiana, she felt her body lighten, and the sensation of her principal's throne seemed to have changed.

It has become more fleshy, and even the back now has a massage function.

"Kiana, don't hug me! I'm an elder."

"Okay, okay, be good, stop making a fuss."

Kiana felt herself being held in someone's arms, her body weight pressing against her back, and occasionally rubbing her head like she was petting a cat.

Theresa suddenly felt a familiar feeling, a feeling she hadn't experienced in over a decade.

This allowed her to stop struggling and nestle in Kiana's arms, enjoying this moment of peace.

Kiana, seeing that Theresa in her arms had stopped moving, didn't tease or mock her. Instead, she looked at the computer and saw Theresa's chat interface with Rita.

Firstly, there is the matter of reporting the Moon Throne.

Secondly, there was news that Rita was going to visit again.

Rita clearly stated that she was attending the Valkyrie Level Examination on Otto's orders.

If that were all, Theresa wouldn't have informed Kiana at all. After all, it was expected that the headquarters would send someone over after the appearance of the Moon Throne.

Theresa was only worried that Rita, the woman who frightened her somewhat, might try to harm her or make some underhanded moves. As for Otto, she didn't care.

What concerned her most was the last part: besides the researchers from the Destiny Headquarters who came to verify the data of the Moon Throne, there was another person on the list of those who accompanied them on this trip.

Lady Green Lily

Kiana: ...

Otto really didn't intend to hide this name at all, which shows that he already knew that she was the one who hacked into the Destiny database and rewrote the contents related to him and Welt.

But given Walter Young's situation, Otto should have recovered long ago. What is he trying to do by bringing up this name again now? Is he trying to settle scores later?

"Never mind, Otto's here. By the way, Theresa, so what did you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing that Kiana was still calling her by her first name, Theresa didn't bother to correct her. She simply leaned her head back against the soft cushions and said weakly:

"You've noticed it too, Grandpa's coming too. I don't know why he's using that name, but you'd better behave yourself for a while. I haven't told Grandpa about your Herrscher of the Void ability and your higher level of control over Judah than mine. Don't expose it yourself."

After all, Grandpa..."

Theresa swallowed the rest of her words, because she had always believed that Kiana was the Kiana who had stayed in Schicksal, but she didn't know why Otto had sent her over.

I'm worried that talking about Otto will remind Kiana of her painful past.

...

In the blink of an eye, while Xiaoqi was still being forced to attend tutoring classes, Kiana decided to join in the fun, since watching others suffer through tutoring was not without its own kind of amusement.

However, Kiana hadn't taken more than a few steps when she saw something that absolutely shouldn't be there.

"Holy crap, Kallen!"

When Kiana saw the figure through the glass window, her first thought was that she was dreaming. However, after pinching herself hard, the pain made her realize that this was not a dream or an illusion.

"Did I say something strange again? And that's why I've traveled back 500 years?"

Kiana quickly got up and began to examine herself.

Long, slender legs with a silky smooth feel, OK.

The little feet inside the shoes are also fragrant and soft, ready to be pampered anytime, OK.

Further up, her waist is slender, and her C+ cup size hasn't shrunk at all, OJBK.

Nothing happened... my foot!

My breasts have gotten a size bigger; it must mean my measurements have increased by one size each.

Kallen, standing before her, made the same gesture. After much deliberation, Kiana finally realized something.

That means it wasn't Karen who appeared here, but rather that I had transformed into Karen's appearance and was seeing my own reflection in the glass.

Kiana suddenly recalled what she had said when she arrived.

"Does that mean I want to see Xiaoqi take her makeup exam? No, it's okay."

"Is it to see if Otto can recognize Walter? Their bond is much stronger than that!"

“Oh, I remember now! I think Theresa just told me that Otto and the others are about to arrive, so I just said: If Kallen suddenly appears in front of Otto, I wonder if Otto will be happy or embarrassed.”

Kallen appeared, but not resurrected; I became Kallen!

"This is really weird. We already have Kallen and Lady Green Lily. How about we have Mei come over and cosplay Yae Sakura? If Yae Sakura comes out, Otto will probably be devastated."

As soon as Kiana finished speaking, a scarlet figure slowly appeared under the shade of the tree.

As soon as the other person opened their eyes and saw the figure in front of them, their previously dim gaze instantly lit up. The distance of several meters seemed to disappear. Without making a single movement or sound, they tackled Kiana, who had transformed into Kallen's appearance, to the ground.

"Waaaaah, Karen, you're alright, that's so good! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you go back!"

Seeing Yae Sakura crying with tears streaming down her face, Kiana didn't say what she wanted to say. Instead, she put her left hand around Yae Sakura's waist and her right hand on Yae Sakura's head, gently stroking her.

Even if it's all an illusion, it's better than disappearing with regrets.

Theresa, who was waiting for Rita to send her a message in the school principal's office, suddenly felt a burning sensation on her back, as if some of the power within her body had disappeared.

"Huh, is it the power of the Stigmata? But why?"

Theresa didn't pay much attention to this. As far as Yae Sakura's stigma was concerned, apart from initially protecting her from the poison of the pseudo-Herrscher, it had little effect on her strength. In fact, it would cause her to go berserk in special circumstances. Now that her power had disappeared, she felt a little regretful but didn't care too much.

In fact, the people from the Destiny headquarters had already arrived, but they hadn't notified Theresa of their arrival.

Otto, or rather Lady Green Lily, looked at the two girls lying on the green grass and suddenly felt as if a hat had appeared on her head.

Chapter 162 Kallen

"Karen..."

Otto was completely dumbfounded. The reason she came here without Rita and the others was not only to avoid being noticed and to make it easier to observe the current situation of her target, but also because she wanted to see Theresa and Kiana, who had previously played a trick on her.

She included the title "Lady Green Lily" on the list for this reason, and she even specially changed into a female Soul Steel body.

But seeing Kallen pushed down by Yae Sakura, Otto's scheming mind vanished instantly; all she felt now was joy and anger.

But when she stepped closer, wanting to get a better look at the figure that haunted her dreams, she fell silent.

The hand that reached out to push Yae Sakura away froze in place.

Because in the Kallen before her, she saw the shadow of the Kallen she once knew, but she was not the Kallen she remembered.

"who is it!!!"

"Who dares to do this?!"

"They actually dared to clone Kallen!!!"

Otto's initial joy was replaced by anger. Now, all he wanted was to find the culprit and then use all his power to completely crush the existence and organization of Kallen, who dared to clone the only pure land in his heart.

Even though Kiana has the same appearance and power as Kallen, they are different inside and have completely different temperaments. Even if she changes a little after the transformation, in Otto's eyes, this is definitely not his Kallen.

She calmed down and looked at another person she had been ignoring.

"It's her? No, she should have died a long time ago."

According to common sense, Yae Sakura had already died long ago and become an alternate existence, achieving symbiosis with Higokumaru and becoming a pseudo-Herrscher.

After the Third Honkai Impact 3rd, the awakening of the Third Herrscher was forcibly terminated, and the Third Herrscher was taken away from Changkong City. The existence of another pseudo-Herrscher allowed this priestess, who was almost in a sealed state, to awaken. When Theresa was in danger, she voluntarily sacrificed herself and turned into a Stigmata.

"Could it be that someone cloned her just to make me angry?"

Otto's joy and anger gradually subsided as she began to think about the truth, but then she remembered that she had completely sealed away any traces of Karen, and that her body was hidden in a secret location.

Yae Sakura has long since ceased to exist. Without physical sample data, how could she possibly replicate an existence that would cause even herself to fluctuate based on the recorded descriptions?

"Alright, Sakura, get up first, there are still people around."

Kiana patted Yae Sakura on the back, which made Yae Sakura reluctantly get up and resume her perfect Yamato Nadeshiko image.

However, the pair of fox ears on his head looked rather comical, almost making Kiana bring up the same words she had said when she met Tingyun.

Fortunately, she held back.

Kiana glanced at Otto beside her, then tilted her head slightly, looking a bit dazed, using Kallen's face.
