Chapter 155: Otto: Luckily I Ran Pretty Fast
When Kiana came to welcome the team, she was a little embarrassed.
The Valkyries and many of the combat personnel in the team were all looking at her with admiration.
Even in their conversations, they were calling her something like "Lady Kiana."
This made Kiana very embarrassed. She had never been on the ship to fight, and she certainly hadn't used the Judgment of Shamash sword in that way.
It could even be said that the Judgment of Shamash wasn't even in her hands. That thing had always been in Noldrei's hands and he used it like a nail clipper.
At the same time, Durandal, who had just finished fighting, looked at Kiana with great satisfaction and said, "Little sister, I didn't expect that you had developed such a cool way of using the greatsword. Your battle thinking has completely surpassed the average person. I don't have anything left to teach you."
Durandal was still a little depressed. She felt that her fighting ideas couldn't keep up with Kiana's at all. As an older sister and teacher, there was nothing she could teach Kiana anymore.
"Ah, that... I... no, I still have a lot of... Older sister is right!"
Kiana first made a flustered explanation, and then calmly accepted the result.
Indeed, she had learned pretty much everything that she needed to learn. Even her body's muscle memory of fighting techniques was faster than her brain's memory.
'I'm already separated from my sister by a thick wall…'
"Older sister, did you see him?"
Kiana wanted to ask about Noldrei, but after asking, she felt like she had asked a stupid question.
That guy had used her appearance to kill everything, and in the end, he had just left like a hero, without even a backwards glance. And Durandal thought that she was the one who had done such hardcore things in the sky. It was clear that Durandal hadn't recognized that it was Noldrei.
"Who are you talking about? Oh, him. Shouldn't he be at home right now? Or maybe he's with the Overseer? If you can't find him, just have Dr. Tesla curse him a few times."
Durandal was very calm. She was already used to existences like Noldrei.
But had she become used to the wrong thing? Was that what they did with Dr. Tesla?
'Is he at home?'
"Hehe, is that so? Then I'm relieved…" Kiana sighed. She was really worried about this Academy City.
Who would have thought that Noldrei, who was usually just lazing around at home and only came out to take a breather, would suddenly turn into her and do whatever he wanted?
What could she say? She could only find a way to get back at him next time.
"By the way, I saw that dragon earlier. It looked like a Judgement-class Honkai beast. You didn't seem like you wanted to kill her. And you were controlling her, and she could even turn into a human form. It was really amazing..."
Durandal was full of praise for Kiana's magical abilities. She could never have imagined that a Judgement-class Honkai beast would one day turn into a human.
The Honkai was truly omnipotent.
"Where did you take her?"
Kiana scratched her head at Durandal's question. She could only stammeringly explain, "I took her to where she needed to go."
Durandal suddenly understood, and nodded, "Indeed, a Honkai beast of that level should be controlled. I'm sure the Overseer and the Chairman will be able to research new technologies."
Kiana felt that her older sister was a bit funny. She didn't know why, but Durandal would always misunderstand in the correct direction.
Kiana told her older sister truthfully, "I don't know either. I guess it might be useful to keep that Honkai beast."
Durandal pondered for a moment and nodded, "You're right, the Chairman's ideas have always been hard to understand."
"How could you possibly understand his ideas when you just cleaned up so many Honkai incidents outside? I've been following him for more than half a year and still haven't figured out his ideas."
Kiana felt that Durandal was overthinking things. She urged her older sister to go back and report her duties and clean up the Honkai beasts that had fallen from the sky.
She didn't know how many people were secretly hiding these Honkai beast corpses to study them.
What Kiana had learned from her brief studies was that these people really liked to take incomprehensible shortcuts.
What Noldrei said about making people endure pain wasn't because he intentionally liked to be a sadistic ruler over humanity.
"Older sister, when will you take me to meet your Overseer of Schicksal? I've applied many times and still haven't gotten the chance. I wanted to go find him to ask some questions, but I always can't find him. Only Noldrei is able to see him, but I don't know why he hasn't told me the location of the Schicksal Overseer."
Kiana didn't quite understand. Noldrei rarely kept things from her, but he had refused to tell her about the Schicksal Overseer.
She only knew from Dr. Tesla that the Schicksal Overseer wasn't a good person, and from her father, she learned that Otto was most likely the person who had harmed her mother.
But if Otto hadn't done that at the time, then there wouldn't have been the existence of her, K423, created by using Sirin's genes.
It was because everything in the past had happened that Otto had created the current K423 Kiana.
Durandal was very clear about why Otto would refuse to meet with Kiana. But Noldrei refused to seek justice for the two sisters. He had even actively protected Otto, which was incredibly confusing.
The situations that the two of them faced were different, and in the end, Durandal had to temporarily put aside the hatred that she carried.
If Otto was still useful in fighting the Honkai, then she planned on giving up on her thoughts about revenge in this life.
So, Durandal apologetically said, "I'm sorry, I don't have a way to bypass the Chairman and directly face Otto right now. Let's find a chance to ask him together in the future."
The two sisters were stuck here together. Otto had temporarily succeeded in maintaining his own safety.
The reason Durandal made this choice was because, as a Valkyrie for so long, she had seen too much of the threat that the Honkai posed to humanity. Now that she had finally seen a glimmer of change, she had made the Honkai the main enemy.
As for her personal grudge with Otto, Durandal could temporarily compromise and deal with it later.
The Kaslana family's bloodline carried this will.
Different from the vague will theories of the past, the existence of the Stigmata space allowed genetic information and personal will to be inherited in the human blood in a physical form.
This meant that the children of good people would always be good people, and the children of bad people would always be bad people.
Unless there was an extremely large change, this Stigmata will inheritance sequence would not change.
The Stigmata space would cause this kind of personalized genetic inheritance.
Genetic currency was also written into similar genetic information by Noldrei.
Because of this, Noldrei didn't classify Otto as an enemy.
He needed to know if the humans of this era could enter a newer society of 'personality definition'.
In other words, a new human of "theoretical ideology."
