"On the other hand... if there's someone around her who can make her experience what 'love' is, then the Second Herrscher within her might be suppressed..."
"As long as you play the role of a father well, you can continue to keep her by your side, and the whole world can have more breathing room."
boom!
Siegfried slammed his fist on the table in anger, roaring like a wounded beast, "Acting? What do you mean by acting? This is absurd!"
"Do you still remember that your name is 'Anti-Entropy' and not 'Destiny'?!"
Tesla paused for a moment, then subtly revealed her displeasure, as if to say, "Why did I say those things?!"
In his rage, Siegfried didn't notice this; he only heard Tesla continue, "Whether you treat her as your own daughter or pity her, it's your choice."
"But--"
"What should I call her? Does she have a name? Should I just call her 'Siegfried's daughter'?"
As they talked, Tesla got angry too.
Siegfried: "..."
Tesla suppressed his anger and calmly said, "Mr. Siegfried, people in this world are not only their parents' children, but also their own people."
"That's the meaning of a name—it helps us understand ourselves and hints at the path we will choose in the future."
"So I'm curious, what exactly do you plan to call your daughter?"
"Does she only deserve to be called K-423, and not have her own name?"
"Think about it carefully, Mr. Siegfried."
"This is not just about you personally or your family."
"The whole world... is probably waiting for your answer."
-
On that day, on the girl's birthday, she received her own name.
Siegfried: "Kiana... your sister who inherited your name, she shouldn't have disappointed you, right?"
-
Cecilia: "Siegfried, you're spared."
Kiana opened her eyes: "Daddy..."
P.S.: Thanks to "zlice", "183…", "136…", "157…", "x126…", and "夹了逼骇派" for the monthly tickets, thank you everyone!!!
Chapter 178 The Lie Only Kiana Believed
After returning from Anti-Entropy, Siegfried was injured and fell into a coma. K-423, not wanting to see Siegfried injured again, went out alone to fight the Honkai Beasts, but got into trouble.
Upon waking, Siegfried rushed out to search and eventually found and rescued K-423. Having finally come to his senses, Siegfried entrusted his daughter Kiana's name to her and vowed that no matter the cost, he would protect his beloved.
After that, Siegfried truly regarded Kiana as his daughter and accepted the idea of fighting alongside her.
Until 2010, when Kiana was 12 years old, the Herrscher of the Void awakened.
She lies dormant within Kiana, nourished by Kiana's loneliness and fear.
She seized the opportunity when Kiana was at her most vulnerable, taking over Kiana's body and causing immense destruction.
To protect Kiana, Siegfried sacrificed his left arm to unleash the Heavenly Flame and defeat the Herrscher of the Void.
However, the Herrscher of the Void harbors deep hatred for Siegfried. Siegfried realizes that he will become the catalyst for the Herrscher of the Void's awakening, so he entrusts Kiana to his friends and secretly protects her.
Kiana, who was lying on the ground pretending to be asleep, now realized that her father hadn't treated her as a substitute for the original Kiana, but had truly regarded her as his daughter, and had been secretly following her all along.
Moreover, this name was passed down to me by my father and... and that older sister. It wasn't stolen or robbed, and it's not because I thought of myself as the original Kiana.
"Sister, you stinky old man..."
Kiana is very lively and cheerful, but she looks like a fool.
But that was just a facade... Every Kaslana is intelligent, including Theresa Apocalypse; they just happened to have found someone who could ruin them.
Kiana, who displayed both high intelligence and emotional intelligence at crucial moments, was able to accept her identity as K423 with remarkable composure. Of course, Cecilia deserves a great deal of credit for this.
While she was still lying down, upon hearing that the original Kiana was injured, her first thought was how the original Kiana was doing and whether she could be saved.
Even if you're not needed, you can disappear...
Now she knows she is not a substitute!
That's what my parents say.
Kiana was happy that she had a place in this family, that she wasn't a substitute, that the name belonged to her younger sister who inherited it from her older sister, and that they were a family.
Although Siegfried's actions were infuriating, in Cecilia's eyes, he only deserved a beating at most; his crime didn't warrant death.
Kiana, wake up.
"Mom...sew...uh..."
"Call me Mom, because whether it's Kiana from before, Sirin, or Kiana now, she's all my daughter."
"Mother……"
-
"woo woo woo woo……"
Himeko: "Why are you crying?"
Theresa: "Waaah... I didn't... I didn't cry... Waaah..."
Himeko: "Alright, alright, stop crying."
"I...I already told you, I didn't cry..."
Theresa wiped away her tears.
Himeko reached out her hand, "Alright, alright, come here, let me hug you."
"I'm not a kid anymore!"
-
A mother and daughter reunited, while onlookers watched the spectacle.
Kaguya: "Give me some."
Kaguya reached out and asked Blank for some popcorn.
Kaguya: "Truly, we fight for the good of the world."
Blank: "Pfft~"
Kaguya: "What are you two laughing at?"
Kong: "It's nothing."
Bai: "I remembered something funny."
Kaguya: "What's so funny?"
Blank glanced at him—
Kong: "What is gay?!"
Kaguya instantly understood their point: "Naruto!!!"
Sora: "What's gay? Stigmata... Pshaw, Tsukuyomi Space is wrong!"
Kaguya: "Nalto, you decide who beats me!"
"Pfft~"
"Why must the two ends fight each other?"
"Who knows~"
Uchiha Itachi, who was watching: "???"
-
Kiana and Cecilia wiped the big tabby cat's face, and Kiana hugged her mother with a silly grin.
Cecilia stroked the white fluffy ball's head, then asked Zhong Gui, "Mr. Zhong Gui, how is my other daughter?"
"After she suffered a brain injury, she was taken in by Ragnar and brought back to Schicksal for treatment. Otto wrapped her body in Soul Steel, which induced and activated her potential. Kaslana's power subsided, and Shaniat's power began to emerge."
“She looks completely different now compared to when she was a child. Her hair has turned light blonde, and she looks a bit like you.”
Theresa, who had been moved to tears, suddenly stopped and stared wide-eyed, as if she had remembered something.
"No, it couldn't be her!?"
"It's the one you're thinking of, Bianca Durandal Atagina, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal."

Zhong Gui scribbled a photo and showed it to Cecilia, saying, "That's her."
Cecilia accepted it as if it were a precious treasure.
