During the game, Bronya learned some things. After playing the game with Qi Shi, she experienced a comprehensive improvement and an extraordinary state, and immediately understood what it meant.

That idiot Kiana cheated while playing a game with her!

No wonder the other person is sometimes so bad at the game. After being mocked by her, he would blush and angrily say that he hadn't rested well. Sometimes he would deliberately avoid her invitation to play games. At other times, he would arrogantly and proudly come to her on his own. It turns out that he wanted to regain face in front of her with Qi Shi's help.

Bronya's behavior of cheating in the game by using external forces is shameful, and she was likely also using external forces during the battles in the factory and her daily training.

If Bronya originally still considered Kiana as a respectable opponent, despite her disastrous understanding of the game, her exceptional reflexes were still a factor.

So now Kiana is completely labeled in Bronya's eyes.

Continuing with their game, their minds in sync, watching the enemy fall to their skills, Bronya suddenly asked, "Are you going to sleep here with Bronya tonight?"

A young girl asked a man such a provocative question, but Bronya's expression remained unchanged, like a delicate porcelain doll calmly narrating some events.

"No, I have plans with another girl tonight, let's do it another day."

But she was not facing an ordinary person. Qi Shi spoke in a very casual tone, like a friendly older brother next door, but said some extremely despicable things.

"Hmm." Bronya simply responded softly, without saying anything more, and her expression was inscrutable.

Chapter 92 The Sinking of the Bianca

One of the rooms in St. Freya is exquisitely and neatly decorated, showing the care put into its arrangement.

It was getting late, but Bianca wasn't asleep. She sat by the window, looking at the bright moon outside. She was wearing only a white t-shirt and black shorts that revealed her long, shapely legs, which were firm from working out, yet smooth and supple.

She gazed silently at the moonlight, her eyes lost in thought.

Suddenly, a beautiful flame appeared outside the window. A smile appeared on Bianca's exquisite face. She was not surprised, as if she had just been waiting for the person she was waiting for.

"Mr. Flame, you've arrived."

“Of course I had to come for something this important. I didn’t expect you to come, Bianca.”

The flames seemed to pass through the glass as if they were nothing, entering the room and carrying Qi Wen's warm voice.

"Hehe~ I heard that Rita was coming to St. Freya, so I immediately came along."

Bianca spoke first, revealing a charming smile.

"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I felt like Mr. Flame was right next to me when I was having dinner with Theresa. He was just quietly watching me from nearby."

"So, I thought Mr. Flame wouldn't come to see me tonight."

Her eyes were like crescent moons, and the girl's smile was youthful and beautiful, as if she were seeing her beloved. But her words were not quite right, piercing through the stars and already aimed at the earth.

No scheming, just pure intuition!

Qi Shi's ability to conceal himself had long since reached a state of perfection. Once he concealed himself, he could easily fly past not only Valkyries, but also the messengers of the Great Lord of Annihilation and the Heavenly General of the Emperor Bow without being detected.

It can only be said that Miss Zhenqi's intuition is truly terrifying. It's not that she sensed Qi Shi, but rather that her intuition was simply guiding her heart.

However, Qi Shi showed no sign of panic; his voice was gentle and cheerful, as if he were happy.

"Oh? It's only been a few days, and you've already missed me this much, dear Bianca?"

"But there's no need to fantasize, because I'm right here beside you. If you like, I can be with you every day, just like you said."

Upon hearing the words, Bianca's dangerous aura vanished instantly, a slight blush appeared on her cheeks, and she spoke shyly and awkwardly.

"Mr. Flame, please don't say such strange things."

Qi Shi, however, did not stop and continued to tease in his gentle tone.

"It is truly an honor for me that the most powerful, beautiful, and serious Valkyrie Durandal has taken the time and energy to come here for the first time out of personal reasons."

"Ugh..." Bianca's cheeks flushed, and she let out a sound like she was surrendering, lowering her head even more in shame.

Although she didn't have any important missions, missions can never completely disappear, and the task of protecting humanity against the Honkai will always exist.

As a Valkyrie bearing important responsibilities, she squandered her precious time on selfish desires. When Qi Shi said these words, Bianca's inner shame was completely exposed.

This feeling combined with the shame of being teased by Mr. Flame.

The Bianca sank.

It turns out that when a serious person becomes so shy that their emotions completely subside, it is indeed very difficult for them to recover.

It took Qi Shi a long time to help Bianca out of that incredibly shameful state. Her cheeks were still flushed, and her eyes looked much weaker and more vulnerable.

Bianca is quite delicious too!

The greetings were exchanged in this atmosphere.

Bianca inquired about Qi Shi's life in St. Freya, and they chatted for a long time, exchanging greetings and showing concern.

However, she inevitably mentioned Kiana, or perhaps she had always been concerned about this matter.

"How did Mr. Flame and Kiana meet? Do you... know anything about her?"

Bianca asked in a low voice, uttering a somewhat meaningless question. Of course, she knew that Mr. Flame's usual location was St. Freya, and he must know a lot about Kiana, who was connected to him here.

Of course, she wasn't afraid to face it; she had already made up her mind to face everything calmly, but at this moment, she didn't know how to ask.

Are you asking why Kiana shares the same name as her, and why her identity was used?

“I do know.” Upon hearing this, Qi Shi immediately looked at Bianca and replied.

"It seems you're ready to face the truth."

Bianca felt a strange unease as she looked at Mr. Flame's tone, which sounded as if he were revealing his true identity to her. Why did she also sense a hint of eager excitement in his words?

Taking a deep breath, Bianca calmed herself down, regained her serious expression, and began to speak.

"Please tell me, Mr. Flame, whatever the truth may be, I will face it with equanimity."

No matter what, she will not change her mind.

And even if this event is incredibly impactful, could it be as impactful as the shock she felt when she learned about her true parentage?

“Kiana is actually your daughter,” Qi Shi said.

As it turned out, Bianca was wrong when Qi Shi revealed the shocking news about Kiana. There really was something that had an even greater impact on her than learning about her origins.

Kiana is my daughter?

It wasn't me and Mr. Flame who had it.

The explosive answer left Bianca's mind blank, a jumble of thoughts racing through her mind.

Qi Shi continued, finishing what he hadn't said: "She is your clone, a unique life born from your genes and the power of the Herrscher of the Void."

Bianca took a deep breath to calm her initially turbulent heart, and looked at Qi Shi with little shame or annoyance before speaking.

"Mr. Flame, please don't laugh at me."

Is this how you tell the truth?

She strongly suspected that Mr. Flame was only willing to tell her about Kiana so that he could say something that would upset her; he was really malicious.

Such a dark, complicated, and sad thing should make her feel sad.

But at this moment, all I felt was shame, anger, and a lingering sense of unease.

Honestly, using this method to calm someone down makes them more likely to accept a radical answer.

You're so gentle, Mr. Flame...

Chapter 93: Crazy Spoilers

"After the Second Honkai Impact, the death of the Herrscher of the Void left behind the Herrscher Core and four Honkai Gems. Otto began to study the power of the core and gems, attempting to control the Herrscher of the Void's authority."

Qi Shi spoke up, revealing all of Otto's secrets without any attempt to conceal them.

"All of this stems from Otto's selfish desires. Five hundred years ago, he lost someone incredibly important because of his reckless decision. In the centuries that followed, only a ghost haunted by obsession remained. From the First Divine Key left behind by the previous civilization, he learned the secrets about the Herrscher of the Void and the Imaginary Tree, and thus began his plan to reshape the beginning of everything."

"Apart from his obsession with reviving Kallen, everything else was meaningless to him. He achieved his desired result without any mercy or humanity."

"The reason your parents came together and gave birth to you, who is a fusion of the best bloodlines of Schariac and Kaslana, was that they used your genes as a blueprint to conduct countless cruel human experiments, resulting in the only successful fusion with the core of the Herrscher of the Void, K423, which changed everything and led the most important pawn, the Herrscher of the Void, onto the path of life that they had already arranged for you."

"Before this, he probably conducted cloning experiments using your mother's genetic blueprint, but he was unsuccessful."

In his subsequent response, Qi Shi stopped joking and listed everything out one by one, revealing the whole truth to Bianca.

In his last sentence, he wasn't deliberately trying to smear Otto. Given Otto's personality, he probably wouldn't let any opportunity to get close to his target slip by, and he must have conducted many experiments using Cecilia's genes.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that the ancestors of the Schariac family were all Otto's experimental subjects, and Cecilia was someone he personally cultivated, fully activating the Schariac bloodline and becoming the strongest experimental subject.

"And it was because your father knew about this experiment that he completely broke with destiny. With Theresa's help, he rescued the only successful Herrscher of the Void host, and in his subsequent sorrowful life, he named her Kiana and raised her as his own daughter."

The story is told in a soft voice, and Kiana's name and background are revealed at the end. Everything is learned from Qi Shi's words.

Bianca clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, her emotions struggling to stay calm after understanding all the reasons.

She tried her best to calm her turbulent emotions. After taking a few deep breaths, her complexion returned to normal, but her fists were still clenched tightly, and the surrounding air seemed to tremble slightly.

After a moment, Bianca let out a soft breath, her eyes showing a mixture of anger and sorrow.

"I absolutely cannot forgive this behavior."

She spoke in a clear yet furious voice, a fury directed at herself, her parents, Kiana's ordeal and the cruel truth, and the numerous crimes that Otto could not possibly condone.

"A person's experiences and beliefs should not be used as tools to exploit them!"

Bianca tried to calm herself down, not to extinguish her anger, but to direct it towards the person she needed to confront, rather than engaging in meaningless venting.

She thought of Kiana, her innocent and lively smiling face appearing before her eyes, but she couldn't help feeling heartache. If Kiana knew about her cruel past, she would be very sad.

Although she thought her father genuinely treated her like a daughter, and that Theresa's feelings were also heartfelt, she also wholeheartedly accepted the other person.

But can Kiana, knowing all the cruelty involved, truly accept it calmly?

"Furthermore, Kiana was adopted by my father and shares the same bloodline. Even if there is a connection, she should be my sister!"

Bian thought for a moment, then suddenly turned his gaze to Qi Shi and emphasized with a serious expression.

She was still very concerned about this matter. Mr. Flame's previous answer had left a deep and unsettling shock in her heart. How could she accept such a relationship as a daughter? If a clone was born, it could also be an identical sister.

"Hmm~ You're right."

This somewhat adorable appearance made Qi Shi chuckle softly, without continuing to tease him. His expression then gradually softened.

"Aren't you going to tell her everything and ask for your name back?"
