The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"When Theresa and Kiana finally arrived at the Babylonian laboratory, they found no trace of the Second Herrscher."

"Just as Theresa was wondering if the Second Herrscher had already entered the tower, an Emperor-class Honkai beast descended from the sky, blocking their path."

"This instantly confirmed Theresa's suspicions."

"This Honkai Beast must be here to buy time for the Second Herrscher!"

"At this moment, a spear fell from the sky and accurately hit the core of the Honkai Beast."

"Just one strike, and it's dead!"

“Wow…wow, that’s amazing! You killed this Honkai beast with just one strike!” Kiana exclaimed.

Theresa: "Yes, that's the holy relic that can decompose everything—the Black Abyss White Flower!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Theresa. But I'm sorry I stole your prey."

"Only then did Kiana realize that, along with the spear, a gentle woman with white hair descended... There was no mistake, this was her mother—Cecilia!"

"You're still as formidable as ever," Theresa exclaimed. "As expected of you, Cecilia, the most powerful Valkyrie."

"Don't praise me, Theresa, I get shy too." Cecilia smiled sweetly: "By the way, the beautiful girl next to you is Kiana, right?"

"Yes, I am." Kiana looked at Cecilia, the word "mother" still lingering in her throat.

“Be careful!” Theresa suddenly became alert. “We’ve detected a violent Houkai energy reaction ahead. The Second Herrscher must be inside.”

"Hearing this, Cecilia and Kiana also became alert."

"Meanwhile, in a dark room, a blond man was looking at a computer screen."

"And what's displayed on the screen is Kiana and her group."

"Haha~ That's really interesting. I didn't expect things to develop so unexpectedly."

"Who is this person? He's been peeping all the time. Isn't this just a pure voyeur?!"

Zhang Fei snorted. He hated guys like this who looked pretentious the most.

"Hmm..." Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, "Yide, in a sense, we have also been peeping at the screen."

Zhang Fei: “…”

Meow, brother, you are so reasonable!

Guan Yu: "So, now we are spying on others spying on Kiana?"

The three of them fell silent.

…………

"Kiana and her group entered the interior of the Babylonian laboratory."

Looking around, Kiana couldn't help but scratch her head. "Is this a laboratory? It looks like a prison."

"The Babylonian Laboratory is a facility managed personally by Bishop Otto. Theresa and I don't know the specifics of the experiments." Cecilia shook her head and said, "But there's definitely something off about the atmosphere here."

"Let's not worry about that for now. Our top priority is to catch up with the Second Herrscher," Theresa urged.

"However, at this moment, Theresa received an order from Bishop Otto asking her to return immediately."

"Although I don't understand why, Theresa had no choice but to return and hand the task over to Cecilia and Kiana."

"After Theresa left, the two began searching the laboratory."

"During their search, they gradually realized that this laboratory was actually used for human experiments!"

"The degree of cruelty is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

"And the Second Herrscher was born from this cruel experiment."

"Oh my, this so-called Destiny Organization looks glamorous, but it's actually a piece of crap."

"That's right! Those children were so young, yet they were tortured to the point where they looked like half-human, half-ghost!"

"Why do you say it's better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times?"

The people talked about it a lot, and felt that the Tianming Organization was too unpoetic.

When they thought about their own hard times, they felt a strong sense of empathy.

…………

"After that, Cecilia tricked Kiana into a safe house."

"Kiana foolishly thought she was going to find the power room."

"When she finally realized what was happening and tried to go back to find Cecilia, she discovered the elevator was no longer working."

"What's going on? Why isn't the elevator moving again?!" Kiana kept knocking on the elevator's control panel, but it was no use."

Cecilia: "Please forgive me for lying to you, Kiana."

"Lady Cecilia?!" Kiana quickly picked up the communicator and shouted, "Open the elevator!"

Cecilia's voice softened. "Kiana, stay in the safe house. Even if the entire laboratory is destroyed by missiles, you won't be affected. I will defeat the Second Herrscher."

"Just now, she received a message from Bishop Otto of the Fate of Heaven. If she fails to defeat the Second Herrscher, Bishop Otto will unleash the Honkai Fission Bomb without hesitation."

"Its power is countless times more terrifying than a nuclear bomb! The released Houkai energy will contaminate all of Siberia!"

"At that time, she decided that she couldn't let Kiana leave here."

"She will face the Second Herrscher alone. Even if she truly cannot defeat him...she will ultimately sacrifice her life to heal this polluted land."

"No, I want to fight with you!" Kiana said anxiously.

"Haha, don't you have any confidence in me? Don't worry, just wait here for me to come back." Cecilia said gently, as if coaxing a child, "By the way, I have a request. Can you agree to it?"

Kiana: “Eh?”

Cecilia: "I want you to call me 'Mom,' is that okay? Please, because your voice is so similar to what I imagine my daughter will sound like when she grows up."

"Kiana's eyes instantly filled with tears."

"You don't have to be like that! You'll definitely be able to hear your daughter's voice when she grows up! You definitely will!"

"Even if this is just a virtual world, even if everything is fake...but please, you must live on and grow up with me!"

"But Cecilia just gently repeated, 'Please, please?'"

"Perhaps, she knew better than anyone that her chances of survival were slim."

"Or perhaps, she has already made up her mind to die."

Kiana could no longer contain her emotions and cried, "Mom...Mom."

Cecilia: "Thank you. I'll remember that voice forever."
