Chapter 52: "Hare, haha I'm in danger..."

The second honkai war is over.

Sirin, defeated.

In the Schicksal headquarters, Otto, not wanting to take any risk, immediately orders Amber to launch a honkai fusion bomb towards Siberia.

.... Nothing has changed.

Cecilia's death countdown continued on, second by second, never stop.

"Hngh... Cecilia, is that you?"

Lying on the ground with very bad injuries on his body. Siegfried struggled to open his heavy eyes, and he was greeted with the sight of a sobbing Cecilia.

Cecilia's tears kept falling one after another onto his face. Siegfried somehow felt that something was wrong.

He has a bad feeling.

"We won... Didn't we?"

Cecilia smiled: "Yeah, we won Ziggy. We beat the herrscher."

Smile wider, but with tears that never stop falling. Cecilia finally revealed what she had been hiding all along.

"I'm sorry Siegfried, I lied."

"I won't be going home with you."

"You must live Ziggy. You must take care of our Kiana."

Had a few more words to say. But, as the words passed through her throat, they turned into a small, muffled whimper.

Cecilia tried to hold back her tears as much as possible.

Be a good father to our baby doll...

Stay strong for her, and teach her well...

I pray that there Will be no more honkai when she grows up...

I hope she will live free, and enjoy a world without fear...

...

This is Cecilia's prayer.

A mother's prayer for her husband and daughter.

"Wait, why are you talking like this Cecilia?"

Siegfried tried to move his body, but his whole body felt extremely stiff.

It was as if this body was not his own body.

"I have so many things that I want to tell you... But, we're running out of time."

Puts Siegfried's head gently on the ground. Cecilia kissed his forehead, and she slowly stood up.

"(No... Cecilia! Wait!!!)"

Siegfried could only see Cecilia who had gone away from him with a helpless look.

No matter how much he shouted inside his head, that, didn't change anything.

"I love you, Siegfried dear."

Using her last power. The Abyss Flower that was planted next to Siegfried, started to grow super thick vines which wrapped around Siegfried very tightly.

"Flower of the Abyss, keep Siegfried safe for me."

Ensuring Siegfried's safety. Cecilia raised her head, and she looked up at the dark sky.

There were two objects that fell from there.

She saw Sirin's body, and the honkai fusion bomb, which was about to fall to the ground in any moment.

"I'm almost out of blood... I won't last any longer."

"But..."

"There's one more thing to do before lord Otto's missiles arrive."

Cecilia spread her arms, and she caught Sirin's body that fell from the sky tightly.

Due to the power of Schariac's holy blood that spread throughout Siberia's land, the barren land, began to grow green plants, and Lily's flowers began to bloom one after another.

White flowers, and holy.

A flower, which has a very fragrant aroma.

This is their burial ground.

"My poor little girl."

"I saw your loneliness and pain in the illusion that you've created. So, I actually di try to be your mother and make it up to you."

Sirin opened her eyes.

"....But, I couldn't do much at that time. Here we are, at the last moment of our lives..."

"... At least you won't be lonely anymore. See, I'm here with you, sharing a moment of warmth together."

Cecilia whispered softly.

Waiting for a while, the expected ending finally arrived. The honkai fusion missile finally fell to the ground.

A very large explosion occurred.

However...

They are both fearless.

Because they both remember a very magical secret spell.

A secret spell that they always remember when they are afraid.

Cecilia: "Ich liebe dich~"

Sirin: "Ich liebe dich~"

Sharing a moment of warmth before they die. Time seemed to stop, leaving only the two of them in these eternal moments.

The explosions of the fusion bombs seemed to have also stopped, and continued to maintain the blinding glare of the fire explosions.

All voices had also left the two of them. Gives a very calming serenity.

"...."

Wait....

It seems that time has really stopped?

In the literal sense of course.

K-423: "AHHHHHHHH!!!!"

A little girl, a perpetrator who can manipulate time to stop. Now, screaming in utter frustration on the spot.

"Why! Why! Why!"

K-423 shouted repeatedly.

"My plan is perfect! Hold the Herrscher of Reason's stigmata, and Herrscher of Death's stigmata! Use their power to create Kaslana's blood in Cecilia's body, and accelerate her body's adaptation to Herrscher of death's power!"

"After adapting, I just need to drag Cecilia's soul into Kaslana's stigma room using Herrscher of Death's stigma, and just have to return home to the future!"

"BUT!!!"

K-423 pointed her finger at Cecilia's back. Those were Schariac's stigmata.

"Why, why did you refuse to enter Kaslana's blood! Senior Hare, do you want Cecilia to reincarnate immediately, and be born into this world as soon!!!?!"

"I thought the two of us were friends, but it turns out you are my nemesis! I curse you Hare!!!"

K-423 shouted in great anger.

In the plot, the will of the real stigmata kaslana family once said that Schariac's blood in durandal's body always prevented her information from being sent to their kaslana family's stigmata memory space.

This is why Kevin doesn't know anything about durandal. Even though she was also one of his bloodline.

At first glance, Schariac's blood has a very strict security system, right?

"Damn it! How could I forget something so important like this!"

"No, don't give up, I almost made it! There must be some way to solve all these problems!"

Walks back and forth restlessly. K-423 continues to think, and her brain begins to run fully.

In a situation like this, panicking would only cause her thoughts to go wild. She knows this, but her brain does not.

She was still panicking.

"That's right, stigmata are just stigmata. Before stigmata gave birth to consciousness, they were just tools for their users. Shouldn't I just ask Cecilia for permission? With her cooperation, my plan can work!"

Managed to find a way out of nowhere. K-423, who had found a new path, heaved a sigh of relief.

Honestly, when she found out that her plan had almost failed in the final stage, she became so frightened, and she almost fainted.

fortunately, her brain suddenly became very watery.

"If it still can't, I'll just have to assimilate Schariac's stigmata."

"Although there is a risk of running out of energy, at least it's a viable backup plan."

"I only need to borrow the Herrscher of Void's core channel if I'm low on energy, even though there's the risk of having contact again with the Will of Honkai..."

K-423 carefully thought about her backup plan.

She had never even thought about what would actually happen when she assimilated Cecilia's Schariac stigmata.

Would Senior Hare's existence still exist after she assimilated her?

Would this thing she did change future history too much?

"...."

No, she knew very clearly what she was doing.

She just...

Don't care about the consequences.

If senior Hare's death could save mama Cecilia, then she would never hesitate to sacrifice senior Hare's life to the sky.

After all, senior Hare's death wouldn't have much of an enormous impact on the future she created.

K-423 knows very well what she is doing.

For her family...

She will do anything.
