As Bronya and Ryn were talking, the environment began to change, and a petite loli suddenly appeared.
She was dressed in magnificent clothes, with a large gem on her chest, and her hands were covered by scaled armguards. In one hand, she held the Xuanyuan Sword, and on the other arm perched a giant bird.
That was Ji Lin, the first girl in history to possess the ability to fight the Honkai.
Ji Lin single-handedly annihilated all the Honkai Beasts that had appeared and then suddenly vanished. To this day, Schicksal has found no further information about her.
Watching Ji Lin's battle, Ryn and Kiana were fired up and wanted to jump in and help.
"So cool, I want to go help too!" "A fine battle. Even I can feel my heart pounding with excitement."
Then Bronya knocked Kiana on the head and, in a backhand motion, put a virtual shackle on Ryn, saying to them:
"Don't even think about it. This is all in the past; what you're seeing now is virtual data. It's one thing for Kiana to mess around, but Ryn, don't you dare make a move. Your destructive power will destroy the data stream. If we get hit by data turbulence, we'll be in trouble."
"But you don't need to put me in shackles..." Ryn held up his hands to show his innocence, though the shackles felt like plastic and had no restraining power at all.
"You can break free at any time. This shouldn't restrain you at all."
"That's not necessary. How about adding a collar?"
As Ryn spoke, Cortana, understanding his intent, gave Ryn a collar with a leash attached.
And the leash naturally floated into Kiana's hand.
"Hmm? What's this for?" Kiana asked Ryn, puzzled.
"It's nothing, just hold the leash. Let's play a little master-servant game," Ryn explained to Kiana.
"Oh, I don't get it... but I just need to hold it, right?"
"Mhm. It would be even better if you could look at me with a fierce expression."
"I suddenly don't want to be with you guys anymore. You play too much." Bronya looked at the two speechlessly, then put on a pair of sunglasses. Out of sight, out of mind.
"What does a little girl like you know? This is called flirting."
"Pervert. System, transfer to the next historical event." Bronya couldn't be bothered with Ryn and prepared for the next event. The sooner she finished, the sooner she could leave. She couldn't stand this lovey-dovey couple anymore. She had to go to big sister Mei's place tonight and wash her eyes with a boob bath.
The next moment, the environment changed again. The three of them went from the mountains directly to medieval Europe.
Before them were well-equipped troops, constantly besieging and subjugating Honkai Beasts.
Although the Honkai Beasts had evolved to be more powerful in 14th-century Europe, the Schicksal organization at that time had already begun to take shape.
Schicksal formed the knightly orders of that era to fight the Honkai and developed weapons to counter them.
Humanity gained an advantage in battle after battle against the Honkai. But they couldn't completely eliminate the Honkai Beasts, only exhaust them and then capture and imprison them.
All captured Honkai Beasts were imprisoned in the dungeons beneath the grand cathedral at Schicksal's European headquarters.
"Schicksal was so powerful back then..." Kiana couldn't help but sigh.
Ryn looked at the description on the side, thought about the time period, and said to Kiana with a wicked smile:
"Kiana, remember what Otto told us? He's been the Schicksal Overseer for hundreds of years. So is it possible for us to meet a young Otto? We could snap a few pictures and use them to blackmail him."
"Boring. I'm more curious about the story of my ancestor Kallen Kaslana and Otto Apocalypse. I still can't believe my ancestor would cheat and betray Otto. That's very un-Kaslana." Kiana never understood why Otto was cuckolded, or why Kallen, a Kaslana, would betray him.
(Otto beautified Kallen's story and downplayed Yae Sakura's influence. The world doesn't know the truth, so Kiana doesn't understand why Otto was cuckolded.)
The environment changed from a battlefield to the grand cathedral, and now to the streets of a medieval city.
The three walked through the streets, where many people lay on the ground. Some were moaning in agony, others had been dead for a long time. The air was filled with the stench of corpses.
The people who thought they had defeated the Honkai suffered an unexpected blow.
The Honkai appeared in the form of a disease. Schicksal researchers began to speculate that the Honkai possessed some degree of intelligence.
The Black Death swept through Europe, killing more than 20 million people in just a few years, taking away a third of Europe's population.
"Huh... what's this."
On the road, Kiana noticed something and broke away from the group.
Kiana ran to a huge cross and murmured.
"Why does this cross look like the one Theresa often carries? Why is it here..."
Kiana reached out to touch the Oath of Judah, and then the three of them heard a voice.
「Confirming registered user: Kiana Kaslana」
「Registered user confirmed as a member of the Kaslana family. Commencing playback of hidden record.」
The next moment, Kiana vanished right before Ryn's and Bronya's eyes.
Ryn was stunned for a moment, then he shattered the shackles on his hands and tried to touch the Oath of Judah, but there was no reaction.
"Cortana, hack into the database immediately and ensure Kiana's safety."
"Be rational, Ryn. According to the previous notice, Kiana may have entered some kind of hidden family history. Leave the rest to me!" Bronya grabbed the anxious Ryn and, connecting with Cortana, began to hack the database.
————————
Meanwhile, on Kiana's side.
Kiana passed through a space and appeared high in the sky. Still in a daze, Kiana plummeted from the heavens.
"Waaah!"
Kiana shut her eyes in fear, then felt herself land on something.
"To suddenly throw someone out of the sky! But it doesn't seem to hurt at all..."
Kiana opened her eyes and realized she hadn't landed on the ground, but had been saved in mid-air by a heroic and beautiful white-haired girl.
What a beautiful girl~ but why does she look a bit like me?
The girl set Kiana down safely and said to her gently, "Are you all right, my dear lady?"
"Ah... thank you for saving me. I thought I was going to fall to my death..." Kiana rubbed the back of her head, still a little frightened.
"I'm glad you're okay. I saw you fall from the sky from a distance. It gave me a scare too," the girl said to Kiana with a smile.
Seeing the girl's smile, Kiana was slightly taken aback. A face from a game Ryn had made overlapped with the girl's features. Kiana remembered. This girl before her was Kallen... Kallen Kaslana...
If it were the usual Kiana, she would have pounced on her and shouted, "Big sis, you're so beautiful," but the girl before her now, though still incredibly beautiful, was in tattered clothes, covered in wounds, and even had shackles on her hands.
Her eyes were filled with sorrow...
The perceptive Kiana could feel it. The girl didn't want to live anymore...
