ALL NOVEL Chapter 89: Chapter 86: Didn't We Agree to Be Together?
Otto, listening to Cocolia's words, found them laughable. To willingly fall so low for some so-called god was absurd.
Though, if it meant reviving Kallen, he wouldn't mind falling a bit himself…
'Kiana, what will you do this time?' Otto thought, looking forward to the actions of the Kiana in the screen.
The Kiana in the video didn't disappoint, firmly declaring, "Who would accept such a defeatist outcome? Only those who live can find their own meaning…"
"No one has the right to take away another's life!"
--------------------------
"Humph, you foolish girl. It's useless to say such things now. The scales of the gods have already tipped toward Anti-Entropy, and everyone will face their ultimate liberation!" Cocolia laughed triumphantly, as though victory was already hers. Kiana struggled to her feet, driven by her inner resolve, her gaze firm as she declared,
"If that's the case, then let me teach God a lesson!"
"Kiana, where are you going?" Mei's voice trembled with worry as she watched Kiana's back.
"I'm going to figure out how to shut down that furnace... I don't know all the details, but it's clearly the key to reviving the Herrscher."
"Kiana! Don't act recklessly! The situation is extremely complex right now. Follow orders and evacuate the ship!" Theresa's anxious voice came through the communicator, but it was clear her words were futile.
"Sorry, Headmaster Theresa. My body won't let me evacuate now. Please take Mei and Bronya and leave!" After saying these words, Kiana resolutely cut off the communication and headed toward the furnace.
Moments later, Selene - the Moonlight Throne crashed down with a deafening roar. Theresa, Himeko, and the others rushed into the ruins of the cathedral.
Within the wreckage, Bronya summoned Heavy Bunny, successfully shielding Mei. Yet Kiana was nowhere to be seen.
Kiana〈Am I really going to die like this?〉
Theresa〈You fool, Kiana! A Valkyrie must obey her superior's orders!〉
Himeko〈The Headmaster's right, Kiana. When you return, write the Valkyrie Code a hundred times!〉
Kiana〈Huh? No way... I haven't even done anything yet!〉
Theresa〈Hmph.〉
Mei clenched her fists as she watched Kiana in the video. Kiana, the Headmaster is only trying to protect you.
Tesla〈Why is St. Freya Academy always so sentimental? The video isn't even over yet.〉
Just as everyone thought Kiana had sacrificed herself, the video continued.
"Mei-senpai… Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine… thanks to Bronya's protection."
"Kiana! Where's Kiana?"
Mei shook her head, her eyes anxiously scanning the area.
Bronya replied, "Kiana… she hasn't returned since rushing toward the furnace. I only saw Mei-senpai fall out of the furnace."
"Kiana… why?" Mei cried in disbelief. "She pushed me out at the last moment! Why would she do this? We promised we'd stay together!"
"Headmaster Theresa... I... I'm sorry... It's all my fault…"
"No, it's not your fault," Theresa consoled her. "If I were Kiana, I'd do the same. She's always been such a foolish child…"
Determined, Theresa turned her gaze toward the ruins and ordered, "Himeko, continue the search. We must find Kiana!"
"Let me help too," Mei said, regaining her composure. Her gaze was resolute. "She's still alive… I have to see her again."
Theresa and the others moved toward the central area of the ruins. As they got closer, the concentration of Honkai energy increased. Ordinary Valkyries could no longer withstand its corruption, prompting Theresa to order their evacuation, leaving only herself and a few others to proceed.
Kiana〈Don't worry. This lady is incredibly lucky—I'll be fine.〉
Mei placed a firm hand on Kiana's shoulder, staring intently at her and scolded her〈Even so, you can't act on impulse like this again.〉
Fu Shi〈Hmph, no matter how many times we tell her, Kiana instinctively takes on all the danger herself. She'd rather suffer than see others sacrifice themselves.〉
Blazing Flame〈You act like you know her so well… Wait, wasn't that my line?!〉
Kiana〈What are you two talking about? I know all these words, but when you string them together, I don't get it at all!~〉
