Under Cecilia's gaze, Zeus began to collect her soul into her palm using divine magic, and then started to gather Honkai energy from the air to craft Cecilia's soul into a Stigma. As Zeus completed the creation, she suddenly sensed several people with vigorous life forces rapidly approaching.
"Their speed is quite good."
Using the earring space to store Cecilia's body, Zeus looked at the 'White Flower' on the ground. In the end, she still chose not to take it. After all, taking the 'White Flower' would indicate someone had been there, which would likely draw the attention of 'First Herrscher' Otto. Although Zeus wasn't afraid, she still disliked being bothered, so Zeus only took Cecilia's body, not even touching the Second Herrscher's body. The disappearance of Cecilia's body would not affect the bigger picture.
It could also be explained that a Valkyrie's body couldn't withstand the Honkai fission missile and evaporated. While this might make Otto a little suspicious, it would only be suspicion. S-rank Valkyries aren't common, and it's unlikely they would find another S-rank Valkyrie to test twelve Honkai fission missiles, right? So, in the end, it would just be left unresolved.
"Wait a moment, we're going to find Kiana!"
Zeus said to Cecilia's Stigma. From the beginning, this lady had been conveying her desire to see her daughter to Zeus. But now, to see Kiana, they would have to enter headquarters. Kiana, as Otto's'strongest weapon' in his mind, was probably facing a group of 'mad' scientists right now.
"Please be prepared, Lady Cecilia, you might have a few more daughters!"
Zeus, with a slightly mischievous interest, said this. She didn't pay attention to Cecilia, who had fallen silent upon hearing her words. Zeus accelerated her flight, and in less than ten minutes, she arrived at Schicksal's headquarters.
Zeus then applied a privacy buff to herself and began her infiltration. When she reached Otto's room, she saw the Schicksal Archbishop engrossed in the network, unable to extricate himself. If someone were to strike him down now, the rest of the plot wouldn't need to unfold. Without a doubt, the network that could silence him must be the cyber garden he created based on his own memories, and within this garden, Kallen must exist.
"Do you hate him, Cecilia?"
Zeus asked, looking at the Stigma in her hand. Cecilia in the Stigma was silent for a moment, then replied to Zeus with a tone of emotion: "Not hating him would be a lie. After all, I only have one life, and he separated me from my beloved daughter and Theresa. I truly cannot say I don't hate him."
"But I can feel that he is more pitiful than I am. He has always lived in a beautiful dream he wove for himself. This illusory life is too fragile; it could collapse at any moment. When that happens, he probably won't be able to live on either!"
Cecilia said this to Zeus, but Zeus shook her head upon hearing it. Our strong Lord Otto is far more ambitious than you imagine. He is not content with mere illusions; he wants to truly 'resurrect' Kallen. The right and wrong of this man are truly difficult to assess, so Zeus gave up discussing with Cecilia about this man, who in another world held the title of 'First Herrscher'.
"Let's find Kiana first."
Saying this to Cecilia, Zeus began to search downwards with her divine sense. Basically, all laboratories were set up underground or on the first floor, and she didn't know what that meant. Zeus expressed that she didn't understand the scientists' thoughts at all. As expected, when Zeus searched to about the tenth underground floor, she found many life reactions, which should be the place where 'clones' were cultivated. After confirming the location, Zeus began to slowly infiltrate underground.
"This is truly astonishing!"
"If my 'compatriots' from my previous life saw this, they would probably go crazy with joy, especially the lolicons."
In one cultivation tank after another, one Theresa (silly) after another lay curled up silently, sleeping in green nutrient fluid. There were at least dozens of them, and in the innermost part, there were more than ten slightly different ones, appearing to be only one or two-year-old little girls.
"So many Theresas! Is that Kiana!? How are there so many Kianas?"
At this moment, Cecilia felt her already vanished brain throbbing with pain, but more than that, it was rage. She wasn't an idiot; on the contrary, she was very intelligent. Although Kiana didn't inherit this intelligence, she already had some understanding of Schicksal's dark side. Now, looking at the scene before her, it wasn't hard to guess what had happened. She had been deceived. All talk of protecting her children from harm was a lie. She suspected that by the time she came to provide support, they had already taken Kiana away.
Now, Kiana had even been cloned several times. As a mother, Cecilia felt like she was going crazy with anger.
"Cecilia, do you want to get some revenge?"
Sensing Cecilia's anger, Zeus's bright, watery eyes rolled, and then she showed a strange smile. If someone familiar with Zeus were here, they would certainly know that this smile meant someone was about to cause trouble.
In his room, Otto shivered unexpectedly, feeling as if he had been targeted by something dangerous!
After finding the real Kiana, Zeus embedded Cecilia's Stigma into her body. The rest of the matters no longer required Zeus's concern; she had already told the lady everything that needed to be said. The remaining task was for the lady to raise Kiana well, and it wouldn't affect the subsequent developments.
"This place is still good, but I can no longer leisurely enjoy the scenery."
Watching the beautiful development and progress of Kyushu, Zeus nodded in satisfaction. Then, she found a secluded corner, set up a barrier, and then took out Cecilia's body to begin the fusion.
"This time, I should grow taller. Finally, I won't be just one meter. My one meter seventy, here I come."
As Cecilia's body 'melted,' embracing the beautiful thought of growing taller, Zeus was once again enveloped in golden light.
A giant 'egg' once again descended upon this world. Unlike the last time, this one was clearly larger. At that time, Kallen should have already been an S-rank Valkyrie, but probably not a very strong S-rank. This time, Cecilia seems to be a top-tier S-rank, almost at SS-rank.
But she was still abandoned by Otto. If Cecilia died, it would be more beneficial than detrimental to Otto. Not only could he control the Schariac and Kaslana families, but he could also obtain the'Sirin' project's experimental subject, and he could control the'strongest weapon' in his own hands. For Otto, this was a must-accomplish task.
However, Otto didn't expect Zeus, an outsider, to be tinkering with little things on the side. Otto would have a hard time later.
Now, this area only contained the giant egg enveloping Zeus, pulsating with life, with no other movement.
