"It's okay," she said, smiling as she wiped away her tears and shook her head.
"This Kiana...this part of the story is great..."
When Eden clicked on the next level, he discovered that Kiana and the Herrscher of the Void's argument was still ongoing.
In the space of consciousness, the Queen led Kiana through a recollection of the past.
It started when Siegfried took her away from the experimental chamber.
The Herrscher of the Void constantly denies Kiana's existence.
They say she ruined the Siegfried family.
Cecilia was killed by Sirin, and she also caused Siegfried to lose his only daughter.
Kiana remained unmoved upon hearing these words.
Yes, these things made her feel guilty and unwilling to face the past.
It is precisely because of these weaknesses that the Herrscher of the Void had an opportunity to exploit them.
"But...I shouldn't forget, and don't want to forget, the kindness they showed me!"
"It was their choice to risk their lives to save me that allowed me to begin to become a human being recognized by others..."
"What I should do is not feel guilty, but carry on this kindness and pass it on."
"I will do my best to ensure that there will never be another Sirin in this world!"
Even after Kiana finished speaking, the Herrscher of the Void was still unwilling to give up.
The scene shifts, and a sea of fire appears all around.
Do you remember this place?☆
"Eastern Siberia, 2010, the day I first awakened and took control of this body~☆"
"After that man lost his daughter, he refused to hand you over and has been hiding here with you for a long time~☆"
"But you were eventually discovered, and what happened next... you'll never forget that, right~☆"
"Those annoying Valkyries were driving me crazy, so I killed them~☆"
"The leader of the stormtroopers had the chance to kill me, but he hesitated when he realized you were a little girl, and as a result, he lost his own life~☆"
"And your dear old man, he killed Bella and Celine, so I didn't hesitate to cut off his arm~"
"You're the one who caused all this. Aren't you ashamed? Ordinary? Happy? Love? You don't deserve any of these."
"To this world, your existence is a threat!"
Kiana: "..."
She took a deep breath, her eyes still resolute.
"Yes, she knew you existed, yet she still gave me a name, taught me how to fight, and let me use my own strength to protect the one I love most."
"Even leaving me was to protect me... She knew you hated him, and that would be the trigger for your awakening..."
"After that, I met Mei and Bronya, we came to St. Freya, met Auntie, the class president, and Teacher Himeko, and made a vow to fight for all the good things in the world..."
"I still have a promise with her... so I won't lose to you!"
The Herrscher of the Void scoffed: "Saint Freya~"
"Wasn't it you who destroyed all of that? ~☆"
Kiana did not refute this statement.
Seeing this, the Herrscher of the Void chuckled lightly: "Alright~ It's about time for this. Your most painful memory, the unacceptable truth."
The scene shifts, and they find themselves on the deck of the Hyperion.
As the music of "The Last Lesson" begins, Himeko's silhouette appears in the foreground.
Eden felt a slight tremor in his heart.
This incident is not just a painful memory for Kiana.
It is also the culprit that has brought players to tears.
"As you can see, she will soon step onto that battlefield, give her all, only to die meaninglessly, becoming a loser~☆"
"Himeko-sensei... is not a loser!"
"Then tell me, what did she save?"
"After her death, St. Freya fell apart, abandoned and deserted. Raiden Mei betrayed you, and Bronya will also drift further and further away from you~☆"
"No..." Kiana retorted with a serious expression, "Himeko-sensei saved me, they... saved me!"
"Heh~☆"
"You had a chance to end all of this, didn't you? ~☆"
"That day, you knelt in the sea of fire in Sky City, raised your gun, and wanted to end my life along with your own~☆"
"But you ultimately didn't pull the trigger, because you wanted to live, because that woman wanted you to live... carrying a lifetime of self-reproach and guilt~☆"
"This... is why you can never get rid of me~☆"
Kiana: "..."
"Okay~☆"
"It's time to put an end to this~☆"
"Do you remember the flashback we just saw? The stormtrooper captain I killed~☆"
At this point, the Herrscher of the Void chuckled softly: "Her name is Ragnar, the Valkyrie instructor of Schicksal—and also Himeko Murata's...teacher~☆"
Kiana's pupils contracted.
Eden's heart tightened as well.
No way... this is too cruel...
·· ·····Requesting flowers··· ·····
The Herrscher of the Void continues to speak.
"You killed her, destroyed the entire assault team, and only Himeko, who was lucky enough to be absent, survived~☆"
"But she also lost her home, her teachers and companions, and became a homeless person. She had no choice but to leave headquarters and go to the far East..."
"There... she met you again~☆"
"Hahaha..." The Herrscher of the Void's laughter was incredibly mocking:
"Look~ Her life, her destiny, you've completely toyed with her~☆"
"You not only took away her friends and teacher, but you also brought death upon her~☆"
"Your hero, your ideal martyr, she burned herself out to place her so-called hope in you..."
"But it turned you into a walking corpse, born to atone for your sins~☆"
……
[This is too cruel...]
[MiHoYo... How could you be so cruel... Aaaaaah...]
[You actually pulled that out and stabbed me QAQ]
Kiana, Himeko... this fate... is just too cruel!!
……
Eden was equally terrified.
This blow was truly ruthless, not only deepening Kiana's guilt towards Himeko but also causing her immense distress.
She now felt that Mo Li was really too cruel to Kiana.
He stabbed again and again, showing no mercy whatsoever; he used the knife to inflict pain in every way possible...
Even Alicia couldn't stand it anymore.
She puffed out her cheeks, revealing a rare sullen expression: "I've decided to ignore him for two days..."
Eden was in no mood to pay attention to Alicia; she was completely absorbed in watching the plot unfold.
.... ..... 0
"Under such a cruel fate... can Kiana still hold onto her beliefs...?"
……
"Kiana~ For the past six months, I've watched through your eyes everything you've been through—loss, separation, failure after failure~☆"
"You risk your life to save complete strangers, alienating your friends, only to be feared, estranged, and gossiped about by them in the end."
"They gang up on you, making you feel guilty and remorseful, then they feel perfectly justified in accepting your protection~☆"
