Sirin gazed with interest at Kiana, who looked almost exactly like her, and asked curiously, "Seeing you, I think what he said is probably true. I look more like you than Kevin—but what's with that blond guy? Could it be…"

Having seen and experienced much over the years, Xilin narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had thought of something, and her expression became subtle.

Don't underestimate her just because she's young; she knows far more than Kiana.

"Kiana, right? Your father isn't the kind of womanizer, is he?"

Theresa nodded immediately upon hearing this: "Yes! That's exactly right, just like that kid Bai Yan!"

Bai Yan immediately retorted, "Impossible! Siegfried touched the butts of all the Valkyries at the Schicksal headquarters back then, but I didn't do that!"

Kiana exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Really?!"

Bai Yan said with a straight face, "I don't know, but this is what Ms. Shigure Kira, the A-level Valkyrie of the Snow Wolf Squad, said at the time, and it was certified by Bishop Theresa. You can evaluate the stance of her statement yourself."

Kiana scratched her head, looking at Theresa with a puzzled expression.

The latter was very firm: "That's it, there's no mistake, that guy was like that when he was young!"

Subsequently, both sides were engulfed in condemnation of Ziegfeld.

Bai Yansong breathed a sigh of relief.

—Siegfried, I'm sorry, you'll have to take on the firepower for now.

Bronya glanced at the people on both sides, and then suddenly took the lead in the conversation during a lull in the flow of people talking.

"Bronya has another question. Bai Yan's swordsmanship was also learned from Jing Liu. So, Bronya, can you assume that you actually learned swordsmanship at the same time?"

Bai Yan glanced at her, thinking to himself that this child deserved a beating.

He replied, "My sister is more talented than me and has always been far superior to me."

While seemingly an irrelevant answer, it actually effectively shut down Bronya's impending question.

The latter attempted to reconcile the two people's life trajectories, trying to find some clues.

Bai Yan, however, pointed out the fundamental difference between the two.

To defeat the Herrscher of the Void was something Bai Yan could not have done at the same time.

At this moment, Durandal finally realized what was happening, and a cold sweat broke out in her chest.

—So, Kiana wasn't talking about that?

She glanced at Bai Yan apologetically.

The latter recalled a warning look that seemed to say, "Don't cause me any more trouble."

Ragnar's smile faded, suppressing his amusement, and he said, "Since Xiao Yan is still alive and well, we can rest assured. What are your plans now?"

As soon as the question was asked, Durandal and Rita both turned to look at him.

"First, I plan to take a long vacation for now, and I'll arrange other things after that; second, my reputation on Earth isn't very good right now, so I'll think about coming back; and finally, and most importantly, there's a fog between where I am and the other side of Earth, so I can't come over for the time being."

Bai Yan spoke these words without blushing or panting, his sincerity and honesty evident.

Think about it, even the end can only help pave the way, but cannot directly cross it, so this matter is no small thing!

Theresa waved her hand and said generously, "The first point is not a problem, and the second point is not a big problem. Although you have caused trouble on Earth, you have not caused any casualties in general, and you did it for the right thing, so no one will question that. As for the third point, it is indeed a problem, but I think that with your and Kiana's current strength, it should only be a matter of time before you open a passage."

Then she put one hand on her hip and said, "And Anna's matter is also settled. She's back in the team now, just like before—you were planning to ask about her last thing, right?"

For some reason, Bai Yan felt a certain pressure emanating from Theresa on the screen.

Actually, he trusted Anna, but he planned to contact her privately later rather than saying it publicly here.

But Theresa's appearance is a bit subtle.

Bai Yan was observing the former's expression when Xilin spoke up again: "So, you still haven't said why that Miss Durandal, who is clearly blonde, is Kiana's sister."

"The hair is a side effect of the treatment; it was originally white."

Bai Yan answered briefly.

"I see."

Xilin suddenly realized.

"Cough cough,"

Theresa coughed twice, then said in a deep voice, "Bai Yan, you should be much more honest than that Siegfried guy, right?"

—It's finally here.

When she asked that question, five discreet yet terrifying gazes stood out from the crowd.

Bai Yan remained calm and composed, confronting him with an extremely indifferent attitude.

Theresa, unusually, also displayed the demeanor of an elder, ready to give Bai Yan a stern lecture if he made any "immature" remarks.

Recently, she, the bishop of destiny, has been suffering in silence.

It's hard to imagine how Otto managed to keep the organization running smoothly.

Working overtime had become too much for her small frame to handle.

However, I've heard that this guy is very capable at work, now possesses considerable strength, and is a man willing to risk his life for the greater good...

You're the one!

but!

Before doing this, we must make sure that what we've brought in isn't a wolf!

We must never repeat Siegfried's mistakes!

You are not allowed to lay a hand on my niece!

The atmosphere was tense for a moment, but there was no sense of urgency or impending conflict.

At this moment, Gretchen held a palette in her left hand and a paintbrush in her right, still wearing that comical mask on her face.

She went downstairs and found the living room silent. She blinked and silently took small, barefoot steps to get close to Alicia.

"Gresh, where did you get this mask? It looks really fun."

"Hmm... I don't know, I found it in the kitchen."

"I see."

No one noticed this corner; everyone was waiting for Bai Yan's reply.

Bai Yan's lips curled up slightly.

“Bishop Theresa, there is an old saying in my hometown: the strong should be respected and yield to others, and only heroes dare to be the first.”

"I greet people because I respect my elders; I follow the rules because I respect my past."

"But that doesn't mean I'm bound by it. In the universe, with my current status, the prosperous people of many planets have to call me their ancestor; the Great Lord of Annihilation who has destroyed countless civilizations with a flick of his hand has just retreated from me."

"What I want cannot be stopped by the end."

Bai Yan spoke arrogantly, his eyes looking down on the world, as if he didn't care about anyone at all.

Theresa paused for a moment.

Kiana immediately puffed out her chest and said, "Looks like you didn't learn your lesson last time! You're still so arrogant!"

Durandal was somewhat puzzled and subconsciously turned to Rita to ask, "What is Bai Yan trying to do? Is he trying to steal the power of the End from Kiana?"

Rita suppressed her barely suppressed smile, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she whispered, "Lady Durandal, if Xiao Yan said that if you lose to him, you would do whatever he says, would you be willing?"

"So it was a gambling match,"

Durandal picked up a strand of golden hair and looked down at it, but soon seemed to remember something. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she began to stammer, "Then, then who is he planning to be with..."

Rita remained silent, only smiling.

Durandal felt it was time to have a proper showdown with Bai Yan.

"..."

Wait a minute, Kiana's going to fight too?!

Theresa overheard their conversation and immediately felt immense pressure.

—Not just Shaniat, but even the holder of the Black Abyss White Flower is included? Otto, how could you bring him into Schicksal?! Is this also part of your scheme?!

Bai Yan said calmly, "However, I have had other opportunities in the world and received a special blessing. In terms of strength alone, I am no less than you. Even so, do you still think you have a great chance of winning?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana felt a pang of fear.

—Oh no, he's smarter than me!

Theresa gritted her teeth, suppressing her unease, and said, "Do you perhaps think Siegfried is a good role model?! Do you want to be like him?"

This implies that Bai Yan wants to emulate the rumors surrounding Shigure Kira.

Everyone feels this is too despicable and absolutely deserves to be condemned!

Bai Yan shook his head.

Siegfried's approach is purely a case of "completeness inevitably leads to deficiency, and extremes inevitably lead to reversals."

His wife's name is Cecilia, and his daughters are named Kiana and Bianca.

What kind of blessing is it if these three things happen to one person at the same time?

Could Siegfried afford it?

No, he's not quite right for it.

"That won't work."

"Oh?"

Theresa felt a glimmer of hope.

—Returning from the wrong path so quickly?

"Mr. Siegfried, as an S-class knight, has so many great achievements."

"Although I am less talented than him, I am much luckier. Therefore, I think I should aim to surpass him as the minimum standard, and then go further on that basis."

"Think about it, in the entire universe, everyone at my level has a name and a name, and those who can defeat me from a lower dimension generally don't make a move. By that calculation, how much stronger would my battle record have to be than Mr. Siegfried's to be worthy of my strength?"

As Bai Yan finished speaking, he "couldn't help" frown, let out a long sigh, and looked very troubled.

Theresa: "..."

I really want to punch him! But I can't beat him! He's already grown up!

For some reason, Kiana felt that what he said made sense.

Perhaps it's because Siegfried taught her when she was young.

One who stays near vermilion gets stained red.

Bai Yan flipped his hand, and paper and pen appeared immediately. He then solemnly began to mutter something as he wrote it down.

“Let me see, I want to take down my opponents one by one: Rita Losweiser, Bianca…”

Theresa's face darkened.

Rita and the others suppressed their laughter and let the situation unfold.

Kiana was puzzled to find that her name was not on the list.

She didn't understand what this meant and thought it was simply a fight over something.

However, at that moment, Celine looked at the list and spoke.

"I remember you said I was your defeated opponent. If that's true, then losing to you isn't such a bad thing, is it? Why does that person look like something terrible has happened?"

"You're too young to understand—"

Bai Yan's smile gradually disappeared halfway through his sentence.

He stared at Sirin with a horrified look.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Xilin instinctively took two steps back, feeling a sense of fear.

"A defeated opponent? When did you ever defeat Sirin?"

Kiana frowned, a question immediately forming in her mind.
