Almost at the same time, inside the Theater of Domination.
Kiana Kaslana, who had just been with her sister, suddenly found herself transported into the Theater of Domination. The place gave her an incredibly uncomfortable feeling.
What felt even more wrong was that, within this theater, she, the Herrscher of the Void, could feel her core operating, yet she couldn't properly use her abilities.
Although the young girl's heart was a complex mix of the joy of reuniting with her family and self-loathing for her own sins, it didn't mean she had lost her judgment as a warrior.
Her current state was terrible, but it was much better than over a month ago when she had just recovered her past memories and discovered she was a monster.
She was guilty, but precisely because of that, she absolutely could not die before atoning for her sins.
And now, right after she and her sister had shown up with Jizō Mitama, Otto had directly transferred her to this place. What did that mean?
It meant that Otto was getting desperate!
The more anxious the enemy, the more it proved that their plan was a genuine threat.
Otherwise, Otto wouldn't have been in such a hurry to teleport Kiana to this strange place.
After all, compared to now, the Otto of the past had been magnanimous enough to let Kiana live in her comfort zone.
Back then, Kiana could sleep in class and go shopping after school without Otto doing anything. But now...
Okay, calm down.
Otto pulling me into this weird theater must be because of his strange plans.
And his plans are inevitably related to the other personality inside me, so...
"So, you're saying you still want to team up with outsiders against me?"
At that moment, hearing a voice from behind her, Kiana immediately pulled the trigger of her Fafnir Burstflame.
But after she fired at the enemy, Kiana was shocked to find that her opponent had effortlessly blocked her attack with an Imaginary Shield.
"You..."
Facing the now-materialized Sirin, Kiana took a nervous step back.
"How is this possible!"
"Oh, what are you so surprised about?"
In front of Kiana, Sirin, now holding the Key of the Void, sneered at the 'self' before her.
"Does seeing me materialized make you that uneasy?"
Immediately equipping her White Knight: Moonlight armor, Kiana chose not to continue engaging with Sirin. Instead, she began to watch Sirin warily while observing her surroundings with the corner of her eye.
Something is wrong with this place.
I knew Otto wouldn't be defeated so easily, but this strange ability...
The information I stayed up all night reading these past few days didn't mention this (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
And this girl... she's actually planning to fight me with 'guns'?
And the armor she just materialized—it's clearly a knockoff of Moonlight!
But, in a way, that's actually a good thing.
After about ten seconds of analysis, Kiana surprisingly felt a little relieved.
Although the evil side of her had materialized, it seemed her opponent, like her, couldn't use the power of the Herrscher of the Void.
From this perspective, she and Sirin were on a level playing field.
Hmph, I won't lose to this person—wait, how did I get sidetracked!
After a moment of jumbled thoughts, Kiana suddenly realized her thinking seemed to be interfered with by something.
Just now, she had felt relieved simply because her opponent was 'herself'.
But the problem was, her being brought into this place was clearly not the doing of her other personality, who usually didn't dare to show herself.
Even if she suppressed her other personality, she still had to face the mastermind hiding in the shadows—Otto Apocalypse.
Is that old bastard planning to hide and wait for us to weaken each other in battle, then reap the rewards?
Ugh, in that case... let me think.
"What little tricks are you thinking of with your eyes darting around like that?"
Looking at Kiana, Sirin said with great annoyance.
"Don't tell me..."
"Um, I don't think we need to fight right now, do we?"
Scratching the back of her head with a silly grin, Kiana spoke to Sirin cheerfully.
"Look, we're both unlucky souls who've been tormented by Otto. At the end of the day, our enemy has always been Otto, right?"
"I was suddenly dragged in here, and it seems you can't use the Herrscher of the Void's power either. This clearly shows Otto plans to watch us fight to the death while he prepares to do something nasty!"
Listening to Kiana, Sirin seemed to ponder for a few seconds before impatiently saying.
"Get to the point!"
"Well, what I mean is, it's actually quite simple..."
Maintaining a smile, Kiana said a single sentence to Sirin.
"Can we... reconcile?"
"Reconcile?"
As if she'd heard the funniest joke, Sirin suddenly clutched her face and burst out laughing.
"Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!"
"You can't be serious right now?"
"You know perfectly well that I could never fight alongside you all. Furthermore, I intend to follow God's will and destroy all of humanity."
"And now, you're saying you want to reconcile with me—are you trying to fool me like I'm an idiot?!"
Oh no, this is bad.
Seeing the murderous intent flare in the golden pupils visible through the gaps between Sirin's fingers, Kiana knew she had said the wrong thing.
Ultimately, she, like me, is an extension of Sirin.
So, from that perspective—she has the same level of intelligence as I do!
Why did I have a brain fart and try to trick her (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻.
Come to think of it, back when Sirin was still very weak, after taking revenge on the researchers at Babylon Tower, she didn't just rush in blindly.
At the time, Sirin was very cautious, hiding away to let her body absorb a massive amount of Honkai Energy before beginning her revenge against humanity.
The reason Sirin later ran into problems in battle was, to some extent, because she had five or six cores, making her so powerful she no longer needed strategy.
From this perspective, the mind of a Sirin in a favorable situation is clearly very different from that of a Sirin in a desperate one.
And right now, both Kiana and the Sirin in front of her were undoubtedly in a desperate situation...
"Enough nonsense, you."
Looking at Kiana, who had a drop of cold sweat running down her face, Sirin attacked directly with the Key of the Void.
Unlike ordinary firearms, the Key of the Void's attack isn't a physical bullet but an attack that pierces through space.
If Kiana wasn't also the Herrscher of the Void, she would have been pierced through by an attack coming from who-knows-where in the very first moment.
And now, Kiana had a complete grasp of the situation.
Although neither of them seemed to be able to use the Herrscher of the Void's authorities, the problem was that Sirin could still use some of her Herrscher abilities.
For instance, the current Sirin could use the Key of the Void, which only the Herrscher of the Void could wield, and could create an Imaginary Shield, usable only by Herrschers, to nullify Kiana's attacks.
Although Kiana had no intention of backing down when the opponent had the upper hand, the disparity in their combat power was an objective fact.
I need to think about what to do now.
...Sigh.
As she began to formulate a plan in her mind, Kiana instantly thought of a strategy she didn't really want to use but was an excellent one nonetheless.
She might not be able to use her authorities now, but that didn't mean their side had no one with [Void Powers].
In a sense, Su, who had commanded the Thousand Worlds for fifty thousand years, had control over space that was no less than Kiana's, a half-baked Herrscher of the Void, as long as he had the Thousand Worlds.
And her sister, Durandal, must know about her disappearance.
Everyone has a Quantum Teleportation System now. As long as Durandal wasn't teleported to this place, she would surely notify the others.
In other words, reinforcements would arrive sooner or later.
Until then, the best tactic for Kiana was to stall for time and avoid a direct confrontation with Sirin, which would give Otto an opening.
But honestly, being chased made her feel pathetic and useless.
Damn it!
Why am I always the one dragging everyone down in every fight (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!
But right now, although Kiana was unwilling to be dead weight, she knew that waiting for reinforcements was a more correct choice than acting recklessly.
She was already bad enough. Being bad was one thing, but throwing her life away at a critical moment...
The thought of her reckless actions putting her allies in danger made Kiana feel immense pressure.
"What, don't tell me you're scared."
Seeing Kiana's morale weaken slightly, Sirin narrowed her eyes.
"If you're scared, then go back to sleep and let me control this body."
"I don't know what method Otto used to seize my authority, but the fact that he hasn't taken the Imaginary Shield and the Key of the Void is the best proof that he hasn't completely taken the power of the Void."
"If I, as God's apostle, take control of the body... hmph."
At that moment, Sirin spoke with a hint of reluctance.
"Alright, I'll take a step back."
"If you hand the body over to me, I can promise to limit my revenge to just Schicksal and Anti-Entropy."
"...So I should thank you for that?"
Hearing Sirin's 'magnanimous' words, Kiana replied irritably.
"If you want to go crazy, go find Otto. What's the point of bullying other innocent members of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy?"
"If you want to go mad, I can't be bothered to join you. Anyway, right now..."
"—Go play by yourself!"
Seeing Kiana actually activate her wings of light and fly away, Sirin froze for a second before gritting her teeth and giving chase.
"You cowardly fake! Are you too scared to even fight me head-on?!"
"Give me a break. You have more abilities than me, why would I fight you head-on at a disadvantage?"
After saying this, Kiana turned around and made a face at Sirin without a second thought.
"And you have the nerve to lecture me."
"Why don't you dare to go after Otto? Are you scared you can't beat him? Ha ha ha!"
Hearing Kiana's taunt, Sirin felt her blood pressure skyrocket.
"Fine, I'll go find Otto."
"As soon as I take back my body, I will absolutely settle the score with him first!"
Ah, crap.
Seeing the suddenly enraged Sirin, Kiana felt she might have gone a bit too far with the taunting.
Although there was still some distance between them, facing a Sirin who was chasing her from behind and could attack with the Key of the Void at any moment, the speeding Kiana definitely wouldn't be able to turn back in time to retaliate.
And even if she did retaliate, her opponent could just block the bullets with her Imaginary Shield.
Arghhh, why did things turn out like this?
What is this—me trying to kill myself?
At that moment, Kiana sorrowfully recalled that day several months ago.
On that day, while being chased by Stan, Kiana had felt her own powerlessness, and then...
—Leo Ash fell from the sky and turned Stan into a good little kitty with a single punch.
And now, after several months and having gotten much stronger, she was still in the same situation as before, being chased by an enemy while waiting for reinforcements.
Then, Kiana suddenly saw a... companion?
More than one!
Feeling like she was hallucinating, the rapidly flying Kiana rubbed her eyes.
In front of her, Stan, in his manifested Honkai Beast form, was running at full speed.
If Kiana hadn't seen the person on Stan's back, she might have thought that her intense stress had caused her to hallucinate Stan's figure after recalling the events of that night.
But the person on Stan's back undoubtedly made Kiana recognize the truth.
It was indeed Stan.
But the problem was—why were Stan and Isla suddenly here!
"Ah, it's Mama!"
Seeing the pursued Kiana and the pursuing Sirin, Isla Ash immediately waved at them.
"Mama, I'm over here!"
Seeing her daughter suddenly appear before her, the originally panicked Kiana and the murderous Sirin both stopped in their tracks.
And as the unlucky one with the lowest status in the family, Stan just thought...
Ah, three Herrscher-level signatures.
Can I just faint now?
I feel like I'm under pressure a cat should never have to bear.
Boss, where are you? This scene is terrifying!!!!
"You..."
Looking at the smiling Isla Ash, Sirin spoke with a complicated expression.
"You're still willing to see me as your mother."
"Eh? What are you talking about, Mama?"
Seeing Sirin's complex expression, Isla Ash looked curiously at the two figures who shared the same face, differing only in their eye color and demeanor.
"Both Mama Kiana and Mama Sirin are my mothers, that's right."
"...Good girl."
Looking at her daughter, Sirin felt the hostility in her heart dissipate somewhat.
But at that very moment, she felt countless images she didn't want to recall flash through her mind.
Fourteen years ago, the deceived Sirin at Babylon Tower had begged those researchers to spare her and her companions.
But at that time, those researchers had laughed, spouting nonsense about Stigmata, Valkyries, and honor, as they injected Honkai Energy into her body, causing her and the other orphans to die in Babylon Tower.
Hatred.
How could I possibly forget this hatred!
Kiana, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately shielded Isla Ash as she felt a killing intent even more terrifying than before erupt from Sirin.
"Isla, be careful!"
"Eh, but..."
"Ah, that's right."
Sirin now stared at 'herself' and her daughter, then suddenly smiled at Isla Ash.
"You should indeed be careful of me, my dear daughter."
"Come to Mama. Mama will dote on you properly."
"But..."
Seeing Isla Ash's hesitation, Sirin's voice turned cold.
"No buts!"
"Are you going to be a bad girl who doesn't listen to her mother?!"
"But, Mama, the way you look right now..."
After a slight pause, Isla Ash, with great emotional intelligence, refrained from saying, 'You look really scary right now.'
"Never mind, that's not important!"
Forcefully changing the subject, Isla Ash spoke to Sirin in a gentle tone.
"Mama, no matter what, you and Mama Kiana should be the closest of all."
"That big villain Otto is our enemy, right? Why are we fighting amongst ourselves, letting our loved ones grieve and our enemies rejoice?"
"Heh... Daughter, you're not being a good girl."
Listening to Isla Ash's words, Sirin sneered.
"And what happens after we defeat Otto?"
"After that..."
After thinking for a moment, Isla Ash said decisively.
"I'm just a kid, I don't understand so many things. We can talk about what happens after, after!"
"Isla, you are very smart."
Hearing Isla Ash's words, the smile on Sirin's face gradually vanished.
"You know the situation is bad, so you try to placate me first by changing the subject with 'that's not important.' Then, when faced with the most crucial question, you feign ignorance by saying 'I'm a kid, I don't know.'"
"If you were just an ordinary child, perhaps I wouldn't think so much, but..."
"You not only have my blood, but you also have Leo Ash's blood."
At that moment, Sirin pointed at Kiana.
"That cunning man once deceived this one, using the same tactic of changing the subject to forcibly pull her back when she should have been in despair."
"Even I have to admit, that man's mind is far superior to mine."
"And as his blood relative, you have naturally inherited his strengths—the fact that you can even help that white-haired fool Theresa with her paperwork is proof enough."
This is bad, really bad.
Her thoughts completely exposed, Isla Ash wanted to calmly say, 'You're overthinking it, Mama.'
But no matter how smart she was, she was still a child. Her ability to control her expression was far inferior to Leo Ash's, and she didn't have his Mind Like Still Water or Poker Face abilities. At this moment, no matter how hard she tried, Sirin saw through her inner turmoil.
"Very good, very good."
Realizing she wasn't wrong, Sirin suddenly began to applaud.
"After my mother died, Schicksal took my life and my friends. After being granted power by God, I was killed once again."
"And now, after I've been resurrected and have a daughter, my own daughter has betrayed me without hesitation."
"Isla, I'm very disappointed, but I'm also very happy. Now..."
"—I can finally destroy this crappy world without any reservations!"
"Meow (Kiana, what are you waiting for, jump on)!!!!"
Feeling the power erupting from Sirin, Stan immediately yelled at Kiana.
Although Kiana couldn't fully understand Stan's meaning, her instincts told her that if she didn't run now, things would get serious.
In an instant, Kiana leaped onto Stan's body and flattened herself against his back.
"Isla, hold on tight!"
"Stan, you... you have to hang in there."
"Meow (What-what are you trying to do)?"
Now on Stan's back, Kiana unleashed the power of her Moonlight armor to its maximum, then began to compress the energy in her wings of light.
Although in terms of combat power, Sirin, who couldn't use her Herrscher authorities, should be the weaker party against Kiana, Isla Ash, and Stan.
But Kiana hadn't forgotten that Herrschers had a natural suppression over Honkai Beasts, like a higher species over a lower one, giving them a certain degree of control over their actions.
Perhaps this power was weakened because Stan was an artificial Honkai Beast, but even a weakened version of this crowd control ability would be very difficult to deal with in the current situation.
She didn't know if the current Sirin was unable to use this ability or was simply too angry to remember it.
But Kiana couldn't gamble with her daughter's safety. So now, she could only compress the special particles in her wings of light to the extreme and release them in an explosive burst.
Of course, this method wasn't very friendly to Stan, but right now...
"Stan, I'm sorry! After this is over, I'll have Senior prepare the best cat bed and cat food for you!"
After saying words that terrified Stan, Kiana saw that Isla Ash had already created a seatbelt out of Honkai Energy and felt completely relieved.
"Isla, sit tight, and then..."
"—Wings, unfold!"
Sirin, who had just rushed near Stan, watched as the giant cat-like Honkai Beast suddenly shot forward at an incredible speed, and she felt stunned once again.
Wait, hold on, what's with that speed?!
Although she had created armor nearly identical to Kiana's based on the flow of Honkai Energy, this armor, even if its abilities were similar to White Knight: Moonlight, still had slight differences.
Of course, that wasn't the main point.
The point was, while Sirin had Kiana's memories, having memories didn't mean she could instantly replicate everything Kiana had done.
In the period before awakening her Herrscher powers, Kiana had actually worked very hard.
And a Kiana who trained herself diligently had naturally explored the characteristics of White Knight: Moonlight.
The wings of light on the back of White Knight: Moonlight are essentially formed by high-speed gamma particles continuously diffusing from the connection points on its back.
And while these wings are an anti-army weapon, energy weapons, when used well, can serve other purposes.
When using the White Comet battlesuit, Kiana, as a logistics member pushing a cart, once used its thrusters as a propulsion device, giving the wooden cart made by Yuna astonishing momentum.
And now, having a basic grasp of how to use the gamma particles from the gamma-ray attack system, Kiana mimicked that technique. She spread the wings behind her, effectively 'turning' Stan into a Cat-cart.
With this method, Stan naturally burst forth with a speed many times faster than Sirin's.
Unfortunately for Sirin, as a personality who rarely got the chance to regain control of the body, even if she knew what Kiana was doing, she couldn't possibly copy the technique right away to chase after them.
"Damn it... Damn it!"
"Isla, when I catch you, I'm going to teach you a lesson, you disobedient little girl!"
"As for that one and this stupid cat, you..."
"—You will all die!"
....
Anti-Entropy. The Ark.
When Leo Ash returned to the room that served as their tactical command center, he was not surprised to see his companions had already returned.
But as he glanced around, he noticed that one person who should have been back was missing.
Seeing Leo Ash return, Durandal spoke with a grim expression.
"It's all my fault. If I had kept a closer eye on Kiana..."
"Alright, Bianka, this isn't your fault."
Interrupting Durandal's self-blame, Leo Ash looked at Su.
"Mr. Su, what's the current battle situation? I need a summary."
"Okay, I'll start with the conclusion."
"First, after everyone returned, we discovered the Rebirth Program at three of the bases."
Huh?
As Su started with a sentence that shocked Leo Ash, Leo felt that something was not quite right.
"Yes, it was indeed three locations, and they were all real."
Su said helplessly as he looked at Leo Ash.
"According to our investigation, Otto likely hid the Rebirth Program in four bases."
"The programs discovered in the three bases you all went to were all in an inactive state. Based on the investigation, if the final program encountered a problem, these programs would confirm it through a special network and then complete their activation."
"Oh, don't worry about that."
Hearing Su's slightly worried tone, Leo Ash interjected.
"I've already taken care of the fourth one."
"Alright, then we'll skip that. Additionally, the video Otto previously broadcasted within Schicksal about 'bombing Kolosten' was fake, but he did fire a weapon to create confusion by trying to destroy a small town near Kolosten."
"Of course, this weapon wasn't a Honkai Fission Missile, and the town that was nearly destroyed was saved by Mr. Welt."
"But now, a new problem has emerged."
After a brief recap, Su addressed everyone.
"Just now, Ms. Rita sent a message saying that Ms. Murata Himeko and Isla have both gone missing."
"That's not all."
Hearing what Su said, Leo Ash added.
"Bronya and Anna are also missing."
"There's no need to think about it. It must be Otto's doing."
"Back at headquarters, I managed to gain the ability of quantum entanglement by implanting a Domination Core and forcibly becoming the Herrscher of Domination."
"And with this ability, I discovered that the Herrscher of Domination that manifested this time has a new ability—the Theater of Domination."
After letting out a deep breath, Leo Ash continued.
"The Theater of Domination can forcibly pull people selected by the theater's master inside. Within the theater, the Herrscher of Domination can control puppets to torment the minds and bodies of those 'guests'."
"Unfortunately, the master of the theater is actually Otto. With Honkai's support, his authority within the theater clearly surpasses mine, preventing me, the Herrscher of Domination, from entering."
"So now, I've thought of a way."
At that moment, Leo Ash glanced at the recovering Welt, then immediately turned to Su.
"I think now is not the time to worry about such trivial details."
"Mr. Su, give the coordinates of The Ark to Mr. Kevin and ask him to come here."
"My plan needs his help."
"...I understand."
Seeing Leo Ash make a decision like 'willingly exposing the coordinates of The Ark,' Su was truly surprised that Leo had this level of trust in Kevin, the man who had almost killed him.
It had to be said, regardless of what Leo Ash was thinking, at least when it came to getting things done, he truly didn't let past grudges get in the way.
A few seconds later, after Kevin arrived via the Quantum Teleportation System, he immediately looked at Leo Ash.
Kevin didn't speak, but Leo Ash, having organized his thoughts, had already started explaining his idea the moment Kevin appeared.
"Right now, to enter the theater, we need coordinates."
"As for Otto's, I can only sense that he's inside the theater; I can't confirm a stable set of coordinates."
"But now, Kiana has been taken."
"Otto did this because he covets the Herrscher of the Void authority she possesses, but he doesn't know that this move will only lead to his own downfall."
Listening to Leo Ash's explanation, everyone present remained silent, waiting for him to finish his plan.
But at that very moment, a look of shock appeared on both Kevin's and Welt's faces simultaneously.
"This..."
"Damn it!"
Welt clutched his chest and suddenly dropped to one knee in agony.
"Welt!"
Seeing Welt's pained expression, Siegfried immediately took out the Full Rejuvenation Potion that Leo Ash had prepared for everyone, ready to pour it down his friend's throat.
But before Siegfried could act, Welt raised a hand to stop him.
Then, after taking a few deep breaths, Welt, his face pale, said to everyone.
"Sorry, everyone, I need to rest for a moment."
"You may not believe this, but..."
"—Just now, my Herrscher Core suddenly vanished from my body."
"...As I thought."
Bronya was also one of the chosen. Now that the core inside old Yang's body has disappeared, it means she has begun her Herrscher Transformation.
Her Herrscher Core is rather special, so there's not too much to worry about.
But what about the others?
Meanwhile, Kevin, his cold expression returning, picked up where Welt left off.
"Just now, the Gem of Haste that was connected to Might of An-Utu also suddenly disappeared."
"It's a strange guess, but right now..."
"I believe the new Herrscher of Reason and Herrscher of Flame have been born."
"They must also be in the theater."
After saying something that the others couldn't comprehend, Leo Ash turned to Kevin.
"We can solve all these problems at once, provided we can get inside the theater."
"And to continue what we were just talking about, Kevin, if I remember correctly, you can use the Kaslana Stigmata to communicate with other members of the Kaslana family, right?"
"That's correct."
"And Mr. Su, while Kevin is communicating with the others, can you simultaneously manipulate the Key of the Void and your spiritual energy to locate the 'Kaslana Stigmata'?"
"...It's quite difficult, but I can try."
After hearing Leo Ash's plan, Fu Hua's expression suddenly turned strange.
Then, with a helpless sigh, Fu Hua took a step forward.
As she did, her eyes suddenly turned crimson.
"Alright, my good disciple, how can you let me be a spectator when it comes to beating up Otto!"
"I am the Herrscher of Sentience! When it comes to spiritual power, the Herrscher who manipulates consciousness is naturally number one in the world!"
"Su, you just focus on using the Key of the Void. I'll handle the consciousness retrieval!"
"Then I'll be counting on you, Master."
At that moment, as Su and Kevin looked at the Herrscher of Sentience, their thoughts suddenly drifted back to the past.
Although the personality controlling Fu Hua's body now was the Herrscher of Sentience, in their eyes, Hua was truly there before them.
Now, three comrades who had survived for fifty thousand years, despite their slightly differing ideologies, were reunited and working together for a common cause.
Even though they knew that none of them intended to abandon their beliefs, this moment was enough to bring them a sense of comfort.
After using his power, Kevin closed his eyes and waited for Kiana to respond.
At the same time, Su, with the help of the Key of the Void, began to coordinate with the Herrscher of Sentience, ready at any moment to retrieve the information transmitted from Kevin's side and use it to find the coordinates of the Theater of Domination.
Watching the three of them enter their respective states, Leo Ash truly felt...
Sigh, Otto is Otto, after all.
If it were the disorganized rabble from the original story, they could never have pushed us this far.
To have such genuine talent, yet to use it to bring disaster upon humanity...
No matter the reason, I have to end this farce and send him to his grave for good.
......
Almost at the same time. Theater of Domination.
Inside the Theater of Domination, Kiana, who was speeding along in the Cat-cart, suddenly felt as if a figure had appeared before her.
Oh, not 'as if'. I definitely saw it correctly, and it's not a hallucination this time.
But the problem is...
KEVIN!!!!
Why did this guy suddenly pop up here!
To be honest, Kiana's impression of Kevin was not good at all.
If she didn't know that Kevin would be an ally on their side for this operation, the mere sight of this phantom Kevin would have made her break out in a cold sweat.
[Kiana, can you hear me?]
Ah, if I say I can't hear... that's probably not appropriate right now.
[Good. It seems Leo Ash's plan is working.]
Senior...
Although she knew Leo Ash would definitely try to save her, hearing someone else say it out loud still made Kiana's heart warm up irresistibly.
[I'll be brief. Now, follow my instructions to activate the Kaslana power within you.]
[We've already started our operation on the outside. Once you activate this power, we might be able to follow the trail to find the location of the Theater of Domination.]
[Su's Key of the Void can forcibly break into this place. In other words, once we find the coordinates...]
[Everything will end at that moment.]
If that's the case... then I'll do my best!
At that moment, Kiana suddenly felt herself almost thrown off by a powerful force.
"Oh no!"
Just then, Isla Ash saw Stan suddenly 'brake' and shouted at him.
"Stan, your leg!"
"Stop yelling. This cat..."
Sirin, who had finally hit Stan's right leg with the Key of the Void, fired another shot at his left leg, then spoke breathlessly to Kiana and Isla Ash.
"I'll deal with it later."
"Without my permission today..."
"—No one is leaving!"
....
