As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

Despite Sirin's sarcastic remarks, Kiana didn't back down an inch. She straightened up with difficulty, looked directly at Sirin, and retorted without flinching, "That's not true, Sirin!" Then, Kiana took a deep breath, her figure flashing, and she charged towards Sirin like an arrow released from a bow.

"Strength isn't the measure of everything, that's what my old man taught me!" Kiana shouted as she sprinted forward.

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Sirin's eyes. But this emotion vanished in an instant, replaced by a chilling indifference.

She slowly raised her right hand, and in an instant, a dazzling golden light burst forth from her palm, its brightness growing ever more radiant, as if illuminating the entire space. At the same time, the surrounding air seemed to be affected by some powerful force, and began to tremble slightly.

"Hmph, it's just a few empty boasts. Do you think that can turn the tide and change the status quo?" Xilin raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a contemptuous smile.

With a flick of her finger, the energy fluctuations around Kiana instantly became extremely intense, and an invisible pressure, like a monstrous wave, swept towards Kiana.

Kiana felt as if her body was being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, making it extremely difficult to breathe. Every inch of her skin and every muscle was wracked with excruciating pain.

"Is this the courage you keep talking about? It's utterly ridiculous!" Sirin laughed wildly, her laughter filled with disdain and mockery. As she laughed, she increased the pressure in her hands.

"Faced with absolute power, any resistance or struggle is futile. Kiana, just give up. Facing reality is your only way out."

"Because you will never have a chance to defeat me." Sirin looked down at Kiana, who was struggling to hold on, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

'So strong... No wonder she's the Second Herrscher!' Despite being under immense pressure from Sirin, Kiana could even feel her body groaning in pain.

"Come on, Sirin! With your abilities, you're far from enough to defeat me!" Kiana gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.

Seeing Kiana's expression, Sirin frowned slightly, then a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. "Fine, then let's see how long you can hold out!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding space erupted with bursts of violent energy fluctuations, launching an invisible attack.

The spiderweb-like energy crisscrossed in the air, surging towards Kiana like a torrent that would devour everything. Kiana could only feel the terrifying tearing sensation, as if it would rip her apart in an instant.

Her entire body was wrapped in countless fine energy threads, each one like a sharp blade, slicing through her skin. The excruciating pain and the feeling of suffocation intertwined, bringing Kiana's will to the brink of collapse.

However, at that very moment, a series of crackling noises suddenly erupted from the surrounding purple space, followed by an extremely faint yet exceptionally dazzling light that instantly caught Sirin's attention.

At the same time, countless purple lights danced lightly like fireflies, surrounding Kiana and forming a dreamlike ball of light.

"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist interfering." Upon seeing this, Xilin frowned slightly and eased her grip a little.

She stared intently as the purple dots slowly merged into Kiana's body, muttering to herself, "How annoying! It felt like I was really going to kill her..."

As the purple light spots continuously merged into Kiana's body, her originally pale face, as white as paper, gradually blushed.

The tightly closed eyes began to tremble slightly, and consciousness was gradually awakening from the deep sleep. The oppressive feeling, as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down on an egg, and the almost suffocating pain were slowly lessening.

"Stop these futile struggles, Kiana." Sirin's icy voice rang out again, its chill seemingly capable of freezing the air itself. "Do you naively believe that merely escaping my control will allow you to defeat me? That's utterly delusional!"

"I don't care about all this nonsense! I only know one thing: I'm going to knock your teeth out one by one!" Kiana suddenly raised her stubborn face.

At the same time, with her angry roar, an extremely powerful energy, like a surging torrent, suddenly erupted from her petite body.

In an instant, this energy rapidly coalesced into a dazzling halo, like the brightest stars in the night sky embracing her. It was breathtakingly beautiful, yet contained a terrifying power that sent chills down one's spine.

"Hmph, don't be naive! Do you think you can turn the tide with such a small trick?" Sirin scoffed disdainfully. She waved her hands again, and a dazzling golden light rapidly condensed in her palms.

However, something completely unexpected happened. Just as Sirin was about to attack, the halo surrounding Kiana suddenly erupted with a blinding light several times stronger than before, forcefully blocking the golden radiance that Sirin had gathered.

"That's truly terrifying power." Sirin was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise on her face. She hadn't expected Kiana to be able to unleash such astonishing power using that purple light.

Then, enveloped in that dazzling halo, Kiana's figure gradually became clearer. She exuded an unparalleled aura, becoming one with the halo.

Kiana gritted her teeth and clenched her fists with all her might. The next moment, without hesitation, she took a step forward and charged towards Sirin like an arrow released from a bow.

"Does she have her power...?" After witnessing this scene, Sirin's previously nonchalant expression suddenly turned serious, and her slender fingers trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light surged from his fingertips and gathered together at an astonishing speed, instantly condensing into a giant energy ball radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.

"Hmph, I'll see for myself just how powerful you really are!" Sirin said with a sneer, her words brimming with confidence. "Do you really think you can defeat me so easily?"

However, when she saw Kiana rushing towards her without hesitation, a slight wrinkle involuntarily appeared on her beautiful face—caused by a little unease quietly growing deep inside.

"This time, I will never let you have your way again, no matter what!" Kiana shouted fearlessly, raising her fair, jade-like hands high, and the halo surrounding her suddenly burst into dazzling light.

The immense power contained within seemed to sense its master's will, responding to her and instantly transforming into a dazzling beam of light that pointed straight towards Sirin's location.

"This is utterly absurd!" Sirin shouted angrily, then shoved the enormous energy ball in her hand forward with tremendous force. In an instant, the energy ball roared out like a wild horse, hurtling straight toward the pillar of light released by Kiana with earth-shattering momentum.

With a deafening roar, the two collided violently in mid-air. Instantly, the entire space trembled violently, and a raging energy shockwave swept outwards like a tidal wave, slamming into Kiana and Sirin's bodies.

………………

Amidst the deafening explosion, Kiana lay battered and bruised on the ground. Her body covered in wounds and bruises, Kiana struggled to lift her head, looked at the previously empty ground opposite her, and chuckled softly.

"I knew it... How could I, who aspire to become the strongest Valkyrie, possibly fall so easily here!"

However, before Kiana's smile could last long, a dazzling golden, wave-shaped ring suddenly appeared beside her without warning. Then, an unharmed Sirin slowly floated out from within the ring.

Sirin looked down at the disheveled Kiana, "What a pity, poor little one. It seems you're overthinking things."

"However, I am not disappointed. Kiana, let's leave it at that." Sirin's lips curled up slightly into a smile, and then she snapped her fingers lightly.

With the snap of his fingers, a wave-shaped ring suddenly appeared in mid-air. From within the ring, a dozen gleaming golden short swords slowly emerged.

“These adorable children have a lovely name—the Spears of the Void. They are all gifts I specially prepared for you,” Sirin said proudly, waving her hand casually.

In an instant, the short swords that had been quietly floating in the air seemed to be given life, and began to spin and fly rapidly, emitting a series of sharp and piercing cries, like the deafening screams of countless fierce birds.

"Go! Go and present this surprise gift to our guest!" Sirin whispered the command softly. As soon as she finished speaking, she extended her slender index finger and flicked it gently in Kiana's direction.

In that instant, the Spears of the Void, having received their instructions, shot off like arrows, transforming into streaks of golden lightning as they hurtled toward Kiana at an astonishing speed.

Each short sword emitted a dazzling golden light, its speed beyond imagination, so fast that even the human eye could not react in time.

Kiana was severely injured, but her will was not broken. She tried her best to roll over, but the Spear of the Void was already in front of her the next second.

"Damn it! Is this the end?!" Kiana gritted her teeth and instinctively closed her eyes. But after a while, the expected pain did not come. When she slowly opened her eyes, she found the Spear of the Void quietly hovering around her.

"I already told you it's a gift from me, so why are you so scared~" Seeing Kiana's expression, Sirin stretched and yawned listlessly. "That way, even if I fall into a deep sleep, you can still use some of my power. Thank me, okay~"
