Feixiao of Yaoqing led her subordinates to begin cleaning the battlefield, recovering all debris that could be recycled.
Meanwhile, Feixiao herself had returned to the General's Mansion in Yaoqing and was reporting to Marshal Hua.
"With Kiana possessing such strength, our chances of victory in declaring war against Abundance in the future have increased once again."
After hearing about Kiana's achievements this time, Marshal Hua's somewhat rigid expression softened slightly, revealing a rare smile.
Accepting Kiana into the Alliance was the first and most correct decision the Alliance had made in all these countless years.
Kiana's easy slaying of the great enemy—a combination of 'The Propagation' and 'Abundance' that surpassed even an Emanator—was truly unexpected by everyone.
As a result, they no longer needed to worry about the Valhalla that Kiana had exposed.
If those Radicals aren't afraid of death, they are more than welcome to jump around in front of Kiana.
If those people really dared to do that, the Xianzhou Alliance could probably just host their funerals and feast on three large bowls of rice at their wake.
At the same time, Marshal Hua did not intend to hide this incident; after all, other factions couldn't have failed to notice such a massive disturbance as the birth of a Pseudo-God.
But Marshal Hua didn't deliberately conceal it either.
After all, this would only make the influence of the Xianzhou Alliance even stronger.
When the report was completely finished and the communication between Feixiao and Marshal Hua ended, Feixiao stretched comfortably and then walked outside.
"Time to find Kiana and have a few drinks to celebrate our triumphant return!"
...As for Warahip's energy blockade, after Otto received the message from Yushu, she directed it to continuously shrink toward the interior of the star system.
This was to make it easier for Otto to thoroughly investigate whether there were any remaining Insectoids in this star system.
Sure enough, after a careful search, many insect eggs were discovered inside several planets using the scanning instruments Otto had created.
After weighing the pros and cons, Otto took back the female Locust-like Insectoid embryos which, aside from having antennae and wings, were otherwise indistinguishable from humans.
She ordered the destruction of all the rest.
Otto felt that once these embryos grew up, they might not be anything less than a sharp blade.
Later, after these Locust-like Insectoids integrated into Warahip, they changed their tribal name and became the Insect Spirit Clan.
Since there was no longer any need for combat, the Herrschers were all transported to Warahip by transport ships.
Acheron, who had originally been by Li Sushang's side, had disappeared at some unknown point.
As for the Flame-Chasers, after everything ended, they were led by Fu Hua back to the Wangshu Astral Express.
Because they had participated in a large-scale campaign and won a great victory, and were reunited with their former comrades, Fu Hua paid out of her own pocket to book the Minghuo Grand Hotel under the Minghuo Merchant Guild in Nights Echo Alley.
Mobius and Vill-V arrived shortly after.
Today, the Flame-Chasers would surely not return until they were drunk.
Far away on the edge of the Solar System, Griseo, who had recently awakened, suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.
She felt inexplicably... isolated?
At this moment, outside the door of Griseo's hibernation pod, a few small grey heads poked out and stared straight at her... Meanwhile, Livelier was released along with the Cloud Knights who had become Heroic Spirits after falling in battle, following Kiana's return to the Taiyin Mansion.
After Livelier was released, following the sensation from her antennae, she quickly found Kevin... Amidst the subtle gazes of everyone, Kevin's face was as black as if it had been charred by Shamash... [Niúmǎ Na: Another newcomer so soon? @GTI Special Operations Operator, @Void Hunter, let's go. Want to head to the tavern for a drink?]
Kiana pulled the chat interface to her side and then looked at Cecilia and Siegfried, who had walked up to the imperial desk.
"Stinky Old Dad, why are you and Mom back?"
"Your secretary ran to me to complain, saying the General is neglecting her duties and slacking off."
Siegfried clicked his tongue with dead fish eyes.
He had been having a great time wandering outside with his wife, preparing for a tender moment of reunion with Cecilia tonight.
But this incident had directly disrupted his original plans.
So Siegfried was now full of resentment toward this successful daughter of his.
I was just one step away from giving you unfilial child a younger sister!
If Kiana knew what Siegfried was thinking, she would probably complain mercilessly: Heroic Spirits without a physical body cannot bear offspring!
One wonders if Siegfried would be even more excited if he knew this...?
After all... no measures would be needed anymore, right... "I've been working so hard, how could Yushu be so heartless, waah! I want to resign! I'm quitting!"
Hearing that it was Yushu—the Chief Strategist who looked gentle but was actually a bit black-bellied—who had complained, Kiana began to act like a clown.
The others looked at each other upon seeing this, and finally, someone burst out laughing. Everyone's eyes turned toward the source of the sound.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Sirin said coldly, her expression aloof, but her earlobes were slightly red.
Everyone shook their heads together, indicating it was nothing... Only Kiana became interested, instantly energized. She grabbed Sirin's soft little hand and leaned in with a mischievous grin.
"Oh my, Sister Sirin, you're blushing!"
Thump—!
Kiana's head was hammered straight into the imperial desk, while Sirin, in her shame and indignation, turned into spirit particles and vanished from the spot.
"So that child is the current Sirin..."
Cecilia looked at the golden particles that hadn't yet completely dissipated, a flash of guilt in her eyes.
"Actually, we are both Sirin; we are two extensions of Sirin respectively,"
Kiana said to the slightly sorrowful Cecilia, following the topic.
???
Cecilia, who had not long been resurrected, didn't yet know exactly what had happened after her death. She showed a hint of confusion upon hearing Kiana's words.
"It's like this..."
Kiana told Cecilia about her own birth and her subsequent experiences.
During the story, Cecilia's heart suddenly tightened when she heard that Bianca had injured her brain after the plane crash.
Fortunately, Bianca didn't seem to have any major issues now, but that didn't stop Cecilia from giving Siegfried a fierce glare.
Then came the part where Siegfried gave Kiana her name, giving her a name of her own.
And then later, her dad suddenly abandoned her and disappeared, causing her to drift alone for a long time!
Hearing this, Cecilia's eyes glinted coldly, and her originally gentle smile became very eerie.
Of course, Kiana didn't mention the part where Sirin woke up and caused Siegfried to lose an arm.
After all, Siegfried's arm had already been completely repaired by her using her clearance!
When the story was finished, the look Cecilia gave Siegfried clearly said: You just wait for me tonight~
'I hope Dad will be okay tomorrow and still be able to get out of bed...'
Seeing that look, Kiana silently prayed in her heart.
"Kiana, Bianca, Sirin, you've worked hard all these years. From now on, you can rely on Mama more..."
Cecilia pushed Siegfried aside and hugged the Kiana sisters. Tears flickered in the corners of her eyes, and her voice choked slightly.
Feeling maternal love for the first time, Kiana bit her lower lip, buried her head in Cecilia's embrace, and burst into tears.
Bianca fared a bit better, but she also shed happy tears because of her mother's return.
Siegfried, a big man, stood nearby with his shoulders trembling. His eyes were red, and his nose was running disgracefully.
Sirin deactivated her spirit form and stood to the side expectantly, wanting to join in but not knowing how to speak.
Cecilia looked up and saw this. After wiping the corners of her eyes, she revealed a smile as warm as fine jade.
"Sirin, come here..."
"..."
Sirin lowered her head and walked over, then was also pulled into Cecilia's embrace.
Looking at the two white-haired ones and one gold-haired one in her arms, Cecilia felt that being resurrected was truly wonderful!
At this time, Feixiao walked in carrying two jars of wine. Seeing this scene, she scratched her cheek awkwardly.
"Should I... excuse myself?"
