I, with my frail and sickly body, simultaneously traverse hundreds of worlds.

"It was my fault that you had to ask such a question, Miss Kiana." Bai Zhi bowed and apologized, then introduced herself: "Paimon Shaniat, the second son of the Shaniat branch family. I also have the genes of the Kaslana family in my blood. Miss Kiana, I am your distant cousin."

The one-year-old boy shamelessly lied about his generation to the sixteen-year-old girl.

Turning to the side, revealing the maid behind her, Bai Zhi introduced her:

“She is Rita, my personal maid, descended from my family elders, and also an S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, a descendant of your mother, Lady Cecilia.”

"Mom?!" Kiana exclaimed in surprise.

"An S-rank Valkyrie!?"

"I'm sorry, the legend of Lady Cecilia is widely known in the Shaniat family, and I forgot for a moment." Bai Zhi covered her mouth and quickly apologized.

"No, I don't have any memories of my mother, and my father didn't tell me anything about her either. Why don't we find a place to rest and have a good talk?" Kiana suggested, sounding a little anxious because it involved family.

Bronya clenched her fists upon hearing this. She didn't trust Bai Zhi at their first meeting, but seeing the unconscious Raiden Mei and considering that Kiana wouldn't entrust Raiden Mei to her, she had no choice but to risk following her in order to complete Cocolia's mother's mission.

Rita's presence also serves as a check, forcing her to keep up.

"My position is not high. Please let your relatives who know you better tell you about these matters." Bai Zhi refused. This information should not be explained by him. There was a more suitable person.

"My loved ones..." Kiana looked confused again.

“That’s right, your family.” Bai Zhi looked up at the sky, where a silver-white floating warship appeared in the distance. The Hyperion was speeding towards them: “One of the three S-class Valkyries of Destiny, your aunt, who taught many outstanding Valkyries, the highly respected Principal of St. Freya Academy, Theresa Apocalypse.”

Upon hearing this, Kiana pictured a dignified and elegant figure exuding a powerful aura.

It must be said that professional organizations are always a step behind.

Honkai Impact 38 Serpent Soloist: Chapter 38 Real and Fake Periods

Bai Zhi and her group watched as the airship that had arrived above them descended from the sky, accompanied by a small plane from the Hyperion.

The small plane was still hovering tens of meters in the sky when the cockpit door suddenly opened. Amidst the howling wind, a short figure sitting in the co-pilot's seat stood in front of the door.

"Himeko, I'll go down to provide support and gather information. You gather the manpower and prepare. The Honkai energy level has surged twice. In the worst-case scenario, there are two Herrschers in Changkong City at the same time."

With her tender voice and childlike, pure white figure, she expertly instructed her deputy on various matters. Her familiar procedures and instinctive caution made it hard to imagine what kind of trials and tribulations her young body had gone through.

"I'm going down first."

She spoke in a joking manner, with white hair and blue eyes. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and draped over her left shoulder. She wore the uniform of the early days of Schicksal, a Valkyrie suit similar to nun's clothing, with the Apocalypse family crest pinned to her chest.

Theresa Apocalypse, an S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, the mastermind behind the St. Freya Academy in the Far East Demon Cave, the aunt of the paramecium, and an expired loli in her forties.

Theresa, carrying a cross taller than herself, called the Oath of Judah, the Eleventh Key of God, the Key of Binding, weighing 150 kilograms as much as its size, jumped off the plane.

Without additional protective measures, falling from a height of tens of meters while carrying a heavy load, the cumulative gravitational potential energy, combined with the assistance of Earth's gravity, is comparable to bungee jumping without a rope or a drop tower without protection, resembling a suicidal act of courting death.

Even the most unwise and powerful person wouldn't do something like this; one wrong move and you could end up with a body riddled with broken bones and no organs left intact.

Aside from Bai Zhi and Rita remaining calm, Kiana and Bronya's expressions changed drastically. Raiden Mei also seemed to sense something ominous; her tightly closed eyelids twitched, and her consciousness gradually returned.

“Lady Theresa is still as straightforward as ever.” Rita stroked her face and smiled with pleasure.

"That's not just being straightforward, it's more like being oblivious," Bai Zhi grumbled. The fusion warrior's physical strength was way too overpowered. She pondered to herself, 'Could I do that with the blessing of the gods? It probably only works at dawn, noon, and dusk. Where on earth is Diomedes? He's missed several of Bai Zhi's Roundtable Conferences.'

The two's calm and collected banter reassured the others, who hoped that nothing serious would happen, such as meat sauce suddenly appearing in front of them.

"boom--"

A heavy roar resounded, and without any effort to reduce the force, Theresa landed vertically on her feet, carrying the 300-pound Divine Key on her back.

Smoke and dust filled the air as she crashed into the ground, creating a crater, with spiderweb-like cracks extending for several meters.

However, Theresa, who caused all this, acted as if nothing had happened. She drew the Oath of Judah and looked around warily, trying to find the Herrschers hiding nearby.

Then, she saw Kiana's face, a hint of confusion appearing on her dignified expression, and she let out a soft "hmm".

The familiar appearance of the good flag.

"You're in too much of a hurry, are you a child?" A woman with fiery red hair, wearing the Fusion Armor Crimson Armor, jumped off the landing plane.

I can't help but add a comment.

Himeko Murata, captain of the Hyperion, is an A-rank Valkyrie.

“The battlefield is dangerous. With a Herrscher present, I don’t have the confidence to protect you,” Theresa said with dissatisfaction. Having witnessed Sirin’s strength during the Second Honkai Impact, she was well-qualified to speak on the Herrscher’s power, as her good friend Cecilia had perished on that battlefield.

She didn't want to see any more tragedies.

Reality is not a game. Theresa's S-class Valkyrie achievements are the result of her hard-earned reputation. The joke about the Judah Launcher only exists in fantasy.

Whether the Valkyrie Saint Freya, who enjoys her youth, even exists is another matter, and the source of students cannot be guaranteed.

Honkai-related families will not waste the potential of families that know how to use Honkai energy. How can avenging ghost whose family was destroyed by Honkai survive the torment of a deadly enemy?

“You’re too fast. The intelligence I just received says the Herrscher has been temporarily dealt with. As for who did it,” Himeko looked at Rita and Yae Sakura, who was frozen to the side, and said, “Thank you for your help. I thank you on behalf of my Valkyries.”

“Rita, when did you arrive in the Far East? Grandpa didn’t tell me.”

“Lady Theresa, it’s been a long time. My mission this time is to take care of Lord Paimon.” Rita gestured to Bai Zhi’s presence.

All eyes turned to Bai Zhi again. He shrugged and said, "Paimon Shaniat, Bishop Otto proposed that I transfer to a supervised experimental program to test the teaching quality of St. Freya Academy."

"Supervisory inspection of trainees???" Theresa suddenly looked anxious, her eyes revealing a guilty conscience, clearly indicating something was wrong.

“But, St. Freya is an all-girls school, so it’s not really appropriate to enroll you there,” Theresa said, offering her suggestion.

“That is not true,” Bai Zhi retorted. “As far as I know, St. Freya is a Valkyrie training academy. According to the Mandate of Heaven, regardless of gender, they are all called Valkyries. Since that is the case, I am qualified to join St. Freya Academy. Does Lady Theresa discriminate against male Valkyries?

You are one of the three great S-rank Valkyries of Destiny. If someone in your high position holds such thoughts, what must the Valkyries below you, who look up to you, think? What is the state of this world? When will male Valkyries finally be able to stand up for themselves?

Theresa's little head froze for a moment. Himeko couldn't bear to watch any longer and sighed as she continued, "After I return to the academy, I will verify the matter. If headquarters issues an order, I will arrange your courses and other matters."

Himeko answered a few questions and then gave orders to the Valkyries on the Hyperion, arranging for people to clear out the Honkai Beasts and zombies in Changkong City, as well as the mechanical arms that were transporting the frozen Yae Sakura.

Himeko's methodical actions, coupled with her mature and sophisticated demeanor, brought tears to Kiana's eyes.

This is her aunt, so mature and composed. After so many years, she has finally seen her family again. If it weren't for Raiden Mei behind her, she might have already pounced on her.

Just then, Bai Zhi noticed Kiana's gaze, smiled slightly, and with the intention of gaining favor, gently said, "Kiana, Lady Theresa Apocalypse is your family, your aunt. It's been a long time since we last met, and I'm sure you two have a lot to talk about."

Kiana?

The familiar yet unfamiliar name awakened Theresa from her dazed state: Siegfried and Cecilia's daughter, the girl she had rescued from the laboratory years ago.

Theresa felt a surge of emotion and relief, realizing how much she had grown.

Himeko looked over curiously and saw that Theresa's niece did look quite similar.

Relatives, Aunt.

Kiana suddenly trembled all over, and Bronya, seeing this, stepped closer and took Raiden Mei from her.

Kiana's longing for family overwhelmed her tenderness, and unable to suppress her emotions, she ran forward without thinking.

Then, amidst Himeko's bewildered expression, slender, fair arms embraced her tightly.

Memorable scene: Theresa suffers before her period. (JPG)

Honkai Impact 39: Himeko's period, cousin Theresa

Theresa Apokalis.

In essence, A-310 is a clone of Kallen created by Otto by incorporating the genes of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast "Vishnu". Because of her powerful abilities and personality similar to Kallen, she was adopted by Otto as his granddaughter.

Like Kiana, Bai Zhi is also an artificial human. Her genetic defects are mainly manifested in her intermittent mental state and her body that never grows up, at least according to the publicly available information.

She stopped growing at the age of twelve, and her height was only 145cm.

In terms of temperament, appearance, and figure, apart from her innocent and cute qualities, she is not much different from a typical twelve-year-old girl.

In comparison, Himeko Murata, as the deputy, although her appearance does not conform to the characteristics of the Kaslana family, has a mature temperament, an amazing figure, and the charm of a mature female CEO.

The former is a white-haired little girl around twelve years old, while the latter is a mature and composed beauty; the difference between the two is obvious at a glance.

Bai Zhi clearly stated that her period occurred between the two.

Which of the two is her aunt?

Kiana threw herself into Aunt Himeko's arms without hesitation.

"Auntie, Auntie, Auntie..."

Himeko hugged Kiana, who was now repeating herself like a broken record, and gave her headmaster a look that suggested she quickly step forward and explain, as the longer things dragged on, the more awkward it would become.

Unfortunately, Theresa still hadn't recovered from her petrified state. Her eyes had lost their luster, and she looked exactly like an old, salty fish who had lost all her dreams.

Indeed, Theresa doesn't look like she has "Aunt Flo" in her appearance. If Himeko hadn't known the truth beforehand, she probably would have come to the same conclusion as Kiana.

Sorry, Theresa, I'm sorry my figure is way better than yours.

With a deep sense of apology, Himeko looked at Baizhi and Rita.

The two of them were covering their faces and snickering, looking like two lecherous idiots. They should explain themselves!

"Auntie, I...I didn't know I had relatives after all..."

With a sob in her voice, Himeko stopped talking and looked down at Kiana, whose eyes were filled with tears and whose face was full of exhaustion. This moved Himeko deeply.

Since her father Siegfried abandoned Kiana without a word, she has come alone from Northern Europe to the Far East, enduring hardships that no underage girl could bear.

Although the Valkyrie's physique could withstand the physical problems, Kiana felt a heavy burden on her shoulders due to the mental exhaustion.

"This child..."

Kiana's tired expression reminded Himeko of her own past experiences. Feeling empathy and pity, she slowly reached out and hugged Kiana.

The scene of the two women embracing was heartwarming.

Click, click...

The faint sound of something breaking could be heard in the air. Theresa turned her stiff head with a creak, and the harmonious embrace between them shocked Theresa for a whole year.

Kiana! Why are you ignoring me? I'm your period!

Himeko! You better explain yourself! Why did you hug her from behind? Do you want to get close to my niece?

I knew you hadn't found a boyfriend because of your sexual orientation.

Unable to have my adorable self, you've taken over my clueless little niece, Himeko! I misjudged you, so—explain yourself now!!!

The unexpected scene, the double betrayal by her best friend and family, completely extinguished the light in her eyes.

The heartwarming and touching scene drew smiles from the onlookers. Bronya tilted her head and claimed that she had lost her emotions due to the X-10 experiment and become expressionless, although based on the original information, it was probably nonsense.

But her emotional vulnerability was undeniable, which is why Bronya was able to notice something was wrong from an outsider's perspective.

The scene of Kiana and her aunt hugging each other was very heartwarming... everything was normal except for the white fluffy ball standing to the side with a blank expression.

A boy who could call himself Paimon Shaniat.

Bronya harbored resentment towards this guy, and she knew things were clearly not simple, especially since the S-rank maid Rita also looked delighted.

However, what exactly is the problem?

Theresa and Himeko have such different temperaments that even Bronya wouldn't think Theresa is Kiana's aunt.

Tugging at Bai Zhi's sleeve, Bronya chose to ask the person involved, "What exactly are you hiding? What's so funny?"

Drawing her attention back, Bai Zhi lowered her head and looked at Bronya, her eyes gleaming.

Of the three starter characters in Honkai Impact 3rd, Bronya is the person he least wants to contact. It's possible that a high-level hacker capable of breaching Otto's firewall and accessing the Schicksal database could find his true information.

She's a woman with an unpredictable personality.

"I'm just moved by Kiana and 'Theresa's' meeting, don't you think?" Bai Zhi chose to face the challenge head-on.

Bronya's life is bound by bonds: the promise she made with Seele, the adventures she experienced with Kiana and Raiden Mei, and the mother-daughter relationship she shared with Cocolia.

Bronya, who inherited the Herrscher of Reason, is actually a very emotional person.

Her feelings haven't fully blossomed yet, which is the perfect opportunity for Bai Zhi to take advantage of the situation. Once the two establish a bond, even if Bronya finds out the truth, she will swallow everything alone for her friend's sake, conceal all that she knows, and continue to maintain the facade of a normal life.

The two, each harboring their own secrets, probed each other's intentions.

On the other side, Kiana, having calmed down from her emotional outburst, noticed the white-haired loli with a conflicted expression.

"Auntie, is she your daughter? She's about twelve or thirteen years old. If we count the generations, I should call her my cousin, right?"

Kiana crouched down, gazing at the woman who resembled her, and nodded to herself. Sure enough, her aunt possessed Kaslana's bloodline genes, ensuring her daughter's perfect foundation.

He couldn't help but reach out and poke the white-haired loli's face.
