Chapter 128: She is destined to be extraordinary

Chapter 128: She is destined to be extraordinary

A father's associative ability always improves by leaps and bounds when it comes to things related to his daughter.

Kirataka could feel that the look in Siegfried's eyes when he looked at him had changed significantly.

Well - it's the kind of look you get when you see a pig eating up the cabbages you grew at home.

Realizing that he seemed to have the urge to draw out the Shamash and shoot him at the next second, Kirataka hurriedly explained the fact that he was living with four girls including Kiana, and cleared up his misunderstanding.

"Living with four Valkyries at the same time? Ha, this is an achievement I never achieved before."

As Siegfried spoke, he stuffed the half-pulled Shamash back into his pocket.

As a rare male Schicksal knight, he was indeed a rare green in a sea of flowers and had to deal with many Valkyries every day.

"Ahahaha…"

Kirataka said with a wry smile.

After a pause, he continued:

"By the way, Uncle Siegfried, I have something else I want to discuss with you."

Cocolia's Singapore artificial eruption plan is not that difficult to come up with. If they look at the long term, it would be a good time to discuss matters concerning Otto and Kiana with Siegfried while he is here.

"Is it about Kiana?"

Siegfried had a keen sense and he felt it before Kirataka even said it.

"Well, she's not exactly safe in this city."

Kirataka nodded.

Siegfried asked abruptly:

"After all...why did you take such a big risk to come here and help Kiana?"

If someone shows you kindness for no reason, there must be something fishy going on.

Either he has some idea about Kiana, or he has some idea about Kiana.

"Kiana is my friend. I want to help her through this difficult time. This is one of the reasons. In addition, another very important reason is..."

After a pause, Kirataka continued:

"I have some personal scores to settle with the present Bishop of Schicksal, Mr. Otto Apocalypse. To be honest, the latter is the main factor for me."

He wanted to ruin Otto's plans, stop Otto's actions, and take revenge on him in the end.

And Kiana is a key part of his ultimate plan to resurrect Kallen... wouldn't it be a win-win situation if he could let her get rid of Otto's constraints?

The fact that he had a grudge against Otto was indeed a very convincing reason.

——There are still many people in this world who have a blood feud with Otto, but they can't do anything to him.

This is true for the Anti-Entropy group, and also for Siegfried in front of them.

The white-haired man in front of him, as a witness who had been severely cheated by Otto once, naturally knew how vicious and cunning that guy was.

"Otto..."

Talking about the blond man, Siegfried's fists unconsciously clenched even tighter.

Seeing that Siegfried's emotions had been aroused, Kirataka said carefully:

"...Uncle Siegfried, you should know that the Bishop of Schicksal is definitely carrying out some kind of plan on Kiana."

Just because the power of Siegfried's artificial eruption was beyond his control, in order to ensure that his future plans were foolproof, he could cruelly launch a Honkai energy fission bomb to kill Kaslana's most outstanding warrior and the saint of the Schariac family.

The same was true of Welt Joyce earlier. For him, the most important thing was to eliminate all existences that threatened his rule over Schicksal.

Such a suspicious person casually allowed his daughter to study normally in St. Freya Academy under the banner of Schicksal. There is no need to guess what conspiracy he is planning on his daughter Kiana.

Siegfried remained silent and said nothing.

Indeed, compared to the conspiracy that Cocolia is carrying out in this city, what Otto is planning is more harmful.

"If you want to prevent Kiana from being persecuted by Otto in the future, at least in my opinion, it is very important for her to become stronger."

Kirataka said truthfully.

A good blacksmith must have strong tools himself. If Kiana can really become stronger before Otto launches [Queen's Arrival], she can become stronger and gradually master her own power, then perhaps she can prevent many things from happening.

"...I just hope that child can live a normal life."

Siegfried murmured.

Kirataka shook his head and said:

"But you should know that she, who had the Herrscher of the Void core implanted in her body by Otto, is destined not to follow an ordinary path."

As an artificial life form K423 was created by Otto, her future was destined to be extraordinary from the moment she was born.

"Moreover, even if we ignore Otto's conspiracy, this world...will continue to see new Herrschers appear and bring disasters in the future."

Kirataka said slowly.

This is a very realistic thing.

Even without Otto's interference, this world would not have much time left.

There was a gap of forty-seven years between the appearance of the First Herrscher and the Second Herrscher, but only a dozen years between the Second Herrscher and the Third Herrscher - well, the birth of the Herrscher of Thunder can actually be attributed to Cocolia.

As time goes by, the frequency of Herrscher's birth is getting faster and faster, and the pain they bring to the world will become deeper and deeper. This is something that humans living on this planet cannot escape.

"Kiana was lucky to have survived the third eruption of Nagazora City. What about the next one? The fourth, fifth... or even the final [End]?"

Siegfried is indeed very strong. Relying on the power of artificial Honkai, he was able to crush Sirin, who had fused six Herrscher cores, during the second eruption of that year.

However, the strength of the future Herrscher is still unknown to him, and his body does not allow him to frequently use [Artificial Honkai] to fight. It is impossible for him to rely on his own strength to protect Kiana every time.

As the former head of the Kaslana clan, Siegfried naturally knew about the disaster called "Herrscher of the End", which was indeed the ultimate enemy that could not be ignored.

Kirataka said softly:

"Even if it's just for Kiana to survive the final disaster, she has to become stronger, right?"

Siegfried was silent for a long time, then he sighed deeply and said:

"You are right about this."

He couldn't protect Kiana for the rest of her life, whether facing Otto's conspiracy or the approaching doomsday.

That child must grow up quickly.

"...Since you have said so many words to convince me, I guess you have some plan."

Siegfried looked at the young man in front of him and whispered.

Kirataka nodded without comment, and then said:

"Uncle Siegfried, it just so happens that you and Kiana are both in this city this time, so I have an idea."

——If you want to force a person to grow, the best way is, of course, to give her a goal.

As for Kiana now, she lacks a reason to become stronger.

Obviously, Theresa's promise to Kiana when she entered school, "As long as you become an A-level Valkyrie, I will tell you the whereabouts of Siegfried," did not give her much motivation to become stronger.

Lazy, gluttonous, and without a sense of crisis.

There is nothing wrong with using these descriptions to describe Kiana now.

Although she is indeed a kind-hearted girl who never retreated in the face of Honkai beasts and dangers but always faced them bravely, the disasters she will face in the future cannot be faced by relying solely on courage and faith.

The reason why she is so lazy now maybe because she knows that her powerful father is somewhere in this world and there is no real safety problem, so she is not so eager to become stronger.

Of course, it may also be because she does not want to recall the fact that "the Herrscher is sleeping in her body", and is avoiding this inevitable fate, hoping that the false peace before her can last forever.

In that case...

Then why not give her a reason to face it and become stronger?

Although it will be a bit painful, it is better than seeing the important people around you die in front of your eyes.

Thinking of this, Kirataka said softly:

"...Uncle Siegfried, can I ask you to help me put on a show?"
