After Kiana returned, she didn't see the little girl, Lisa.
After asking around, she learned the girl had been taken to the survivor settlement area.
Moreover, the leader of that survivor resistance seemed to be Lisa's father.
After Lisa told the leader about her mother's murder, that stubble-faced man with eyes like knives actually hugged his daughter and wailed loudly, showing none of a leader's poise.
Kiana couldn't help but smile slightly after hearing this.
Perhaps this was the result of escaping despair, embracing new life, and the sudden relaxation of long-strained nerves.
"Kiana..."
"What's wrong, A Hua?"
Putting down the report in her hand, Kiana tilted her head and looked at Fu Hua in confusion.
"About my body..."
After a moment of hesitation, Fu Hua told Kiana about the current state of her body.
Although she had lost a large part of her memory, she still knew the condition of her own body.
Now that she had joined the Xianzhou and the entire Galaxy was full of dangers, her current strength was less than ten percent of its peak; she couldn't help Kiana much.
She was wondering if there was any way to repair the damage to her body so she would at least have the power to protect Warahip.
If there really was no way, then perhaps she could try committing suicide to become a heroic spirit?
"This... Lingsha should be able to repair some of your damage, but for a perfect solution..."
Kiana hesitated, then sighed and continued.
"We might need to return to Earth and ask that dog Otto for help..."
In the name of the Warahip General, she might be able to invite Ruan Mei, but... it was too dangerous...!
So in the end, she still had to find Otto.
After all, Otto was simply too versatile.
Besides, although this guy didn't do anything human, he was relatively trustworthy as long as he was given some benefits.
For example, using Kallen as bait.
Kiana had found some clues in her memory that could resurrect Kallen.
Deep within the Schicksal Database, hidden in the records of that past 500 years ago, there might still be a lingering consciousness of Kallen.
Also, in Yae Sakura's Stigmata Space, that Kallen might also be a part of Kallen's consciousness.
As long as there was a part of the consciousness, by signing a heroic spirit contract, she would automatically complete the other lost parts of her consciousness and become the complete Kallen.
With this trump card, she wasn't afraid of Otto being disobedient.
She just had to keep an eye on her Queen sister when the time came.
Killing a few of Otto's Soulium bodies to vent her anger was fine.
At least leave him... no, leave her a few female Soulium bodies~
"Otto..."
Fu Hua looked at Kiana with some surprise.
She already knew that Kiana knew everything.
She didn't expect the other party to be able to say the words "ask Otto for help" so calmly... "Yes, exactly. Find Otto to repair your body. He possesses most of the technology from the Previous Era."
"Previous Era..."
Fu Hua clutched her head, frowning, her heart throbbing slightly.
Even with the memories from the Elysian Realm memory entity, she had still forgotten too many things... "Don't think about it. Once your body is repaired and you get back your memory, everything will be fine..."
I wonder if the Herrscher of Sentience will be born early...?
Kiana murmured in her heart.
Kiana still hoped for the birth of the Herrscher of Sentience; that way, Warahip would have another high-end combatant.
When the time comes for Fu Hua to treat her body, she'll have her upload her consciousness to Fenghuang Down!
Having made up her mind, Kiana sent a message to the Chief Strategist.
Kiana: Yushu, I'm going out for a bit. Contact me via jade sign if anything happens.
Yushu: Understood, General.
Kiana put away the jade sign and took Fu Hua's hand, returning to St. Freya through the anchor.
Everything had been deployed in the Gresiavia system; for now, there was no need to worry about the Locust-like Insectoids breaking through the defensive line.
Since the previously anchored location was Himeko's apartment, Kiana and Fu Hua appeared there.
As soon as they landed, Kiana saw Raiden Mei wrapped in a bath towel, wiping her wet hair.
The other party was clearly stunned when she saw Kiana, then her eyes widened with a look of pleasant surprise.
"Kiana...! You're back!"
Raiden Mei stepped forward and hugged Kiana with longing.
"I'm back, Mei."
Kiana patted Raiden Mei's back and said gently.
Perhaps because the bath towel wasn't wrapped very tightly, it fell off just as Kiana patted her.
Pfft—!
A flash of white appeared before Kiana's eyes, and then two streams of blood spurted from her nostrils.
"Kiana... are you okay!"
Mei, whose face was originally blushing and wanted to pick up the towel to cover herself, saw Kiana's nosebleed and worriedly wiped it for her.
Kiana squinted her eyes with a satisfied look and gave Mei a thumbs up.
"I'm fine. It's very white, very..."
"Eek...! Kiana, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Mei's face turned even redder. She quickly picked up the towel, wrapped it around herself, and shouted shrilly.
"Kiana... stop teasing Mei."
"Eh, how is it teasing? This Young Miss is expressing her true feelings!"
Hearing this, Kiana put her hands on her hips and retorted.
Thud—!
At that moment, the apartment door was pushed open forcefully, and Himeko ran in looking panicked, holding a pained Theresa in her arms.
Bronya also came out of her room upon hearing the noise and was slightly stunned to see Kiana.
"Sister Himeko, what happened to Aunt?"
Seeing this, Kiana hurried forward and asked worriedly.
"Theresa encountered a Pseudo-Herrscher in Nagazora City. She's been unconscious since the sneak attack, and her appearance has also changed significantly."
At this moment, Theresa had long pink hair and a pair of donkey—fox ears on top of her head.
However, her back was somewhat hot, and three pink magatama patterns were constantly flashing.
"Stigmata, Yae Sakura...! A Hua, use Fenghuang Down to send me into Aunt's Stigmata Space!"
Kiana murmured a few words looking at Theresa's appearance, then looked at Fu Hua.
Fu Hua nodded slightly, and then a feather of Fenghuang Down appeared out of thin air.
Kiana did not resist. As her consciousness blurred, her body went limp and she collapsed.
Just as the others were about to support Kiana, her eyes suddenly snapped open, turning into a pair of golden eyes.
Everyone's pupils shrank, and they pulled out their weapons at the same time.
"Kiana..."
Mei held the towel with one hand and a katana in the other, looking at the Queen with concern.
This feeling was exactly the same as the Herrscher consciousness in her mind that always called her a coward.
"Isn't this my other half?"
The Queen stepped forward with some interest, lifted Mei's chin, and said with full arrogance.
Fu Hua's brow furrowed. She only felt a momentary hostility from the Queen towards her, and then it disappeared... What exactly was going on...?
Fu Hua didn't know about the relationship between Kiana and the Queen yet.
From her current perspective, it was just the Herrscher consciousness taking the opportunity to seize Kiana's body.
"You... you're not Kiana!"
Mei shook off the Queen's hand forcefully and gritted her teeth.
The Queen, whose hand was shaken off, was not angry. She ignored the others and walked over to a chair to sit down as if nothing had happened.
Then she tilted her head, and golden particles slowly appeared beside her, condensing into the Queen's figure.
"A heroic spirit..."
Fu Hua breathed a sigh of relief and dropped her defensive stance.
Since she could be signed as a heroic spirit by Kiana, she wasn't an enemy for now.
Under Fu Hua's somewhat bewildered gaze.
The Queen gave Fu Hua a cold, sharp glare, then left through an Imaginary Gate.
And her destination was—
The Schicksal Floating Island.
