Valkyries are Obsessed with My Transformations! (Honkai Impact 3rd) Chapter 41 41: Kallen Kaslana

"She's gone... she's really gone..."

Gathered around the equipnt, the group stared at the bodysuit sprawled across the floor, surrounded by a ss of scattered microchips. Their faces were a blur of helplessness and grief.

"Research Departnt! Do we have results yet?!"

Theresa whipped her head toward the researchers manning the consoles, her voice edged with desperation.

"Principal, there's nothing. She... it's like she vanished into thin air. No energy fluctuations, no trace left behind."

"All sensors are reading zero energy signatures."

The researchers frantically worked the controls, but their grim expressions said it all.

"Seele..." Bronya sank to her knees, her hands trembling as she gathered the discarded shuttle suit into her arms.

In that heart-wrenching mont, she knew. This might not just be a disappearance; it might be a final goodbye.

Kiana and Theresa fell into a heavy silence alongside her. Their thoughts imdiately drifted to Raiden Ei. Ei had vanished in the exact sa way—did this an they would never see her again, either?

"Wait! Principal!" a researcher suddenly cried out.

Right before their eyes, in the center of the platform that looked like a teleporter, a figure materialized out of thin air.

"...Where am I? Didn't I... die?" Kallen Kaslana stood upon the dais, a look of profound confusion clouding her breathtakingly ethereal features.

The curtain rises!

Behind a surveillance cara in the lab, all the way at Schicksal Headquarters in Europe, Otto Apocalypse had been watching the experint unfold. He surged to his feet, his erald eyes wide with genuine shock.

"Kallen?!"

"Wait! Kallen?!"

Theresa's eyes nearly popped out of her head the mont she saw her.

"Theresa?" Kallen looked her way, and in an instant, her sapphire eyes flared with a murderous resolve.

She summoned the Blooded Saints from the void. The black-and-crimson barrels imdiately began to spew tongues of scarlet fla.

BANG!!

The next second, Yae Sakura blurred into motion, shielding Theresa. With a flash of Sakura Blossom, she intercepted and sliced the incoming bullets mid-air.

"Sakura?!" Shock flickered across Kallen's face at the sight of her, but it was quickly replaced by a desperate urgency. "Get out of the way! I have to kill her!"

"Kallen! Stop this!" Sakura stared at Kallen, her blue eyes shimring with emotion, yet she stood her ground firmly.

"There's no ti!"

Kallen lunged forward. Within a heartbeat, the two were locked in a high-speed blur of combat.

The Bloodthirsty Saint clashed against Sakura Blossom in a shower of sparks; scarlet bullets were shattered by the pink glint of the blade.

The rest of the lab finally snapped into action. Kiana and Raiden i dropped into combat stances, while Fu Hua watched with utter disbelief.

She knew better than anyone that Kallen was dead—she was certain of it.

"Wait! Just wait a second! Why are you trying to kill ?!" Theresa shouted over the chaos, her face pale with bewildernt. "There has to be a mistake here!"

"There is no mistake... this is our original sin, Theresa." Kallen gripped her twin pistols tight, her beautiful face a mask of grim determination.

"I don't know how I've returned from the dead, but I will not stop now!"

As she spoke, the ultimate ability of the Valkyrie armor—specially crafted for her by Otto—began to deploy behind her.

"I'll only say this once! Move!"

The muzzles began to glow with an ominous, lethal light.

"Not a chance!!" Kiana stepped out, planting herself firmly in front of Theresa. She glared at Kallen with fierce defiance.

"I won't let you hurt my Auntie!"

"This isn't your world! You've crossed over into a parallel universe!" Raiden i shouted, trying to reach Kallen through the tension.

"She's right, Kallen. Calm down," Fu Hua added, her voice steady as she watched Kallen's every move.

"You..."

When Kallen's gaze landed on Fu Hua, a flicker of doubt and confusion finally crossed her face.

"Please, you have to trust us!" Hiko added, her tone grave and alert.

"Hiko?" The confusion in Kallen's eyes deepened. Behind her, although the massive cannons still humd with terrifying power, she stayed her hand.

"Listen to ! This really isn't the world you know!" Theresa cried out again.

"..."

Kallen's expression remained stern as she scanned the room. She looked at the faces of the Valkyries one by one.

"There's been a massive misunderstanding!" Theresa pressed, her heart racing. She never imagined she'd see Kallen in the flesh, let alone have Kallen try to kill her on sight. Why?

"...A misunderstanding?" Kallen stared hard at Theresa, taking in her outfit, before her eyes drifted slowly to the Oath of Judah strapped to Theresa's wrist.

"Yes!" Theresa nodded vigorously.

Sakura finally lowered her blade and took two steps toward Kallen. Her eyes were moist with unshed tears.

"Kallen... you really are from another world. This isn't where you belong."

"Sakura..."

Kallen looked at her and fell silent.

Just then, a deep, elegant, and strangely magnetic male voice echoed through the laboratory.

"Kallen, Theresa and Sakura are not lying to you. This is indeed not the world you once knew."

Kallen turned sharply toward a giant monitor in the lab. The screen, which should have been scrolling with data, now displayed the image of Otto Apocalypse.

"Grandpa!"

Theresa's eyes lit up for a second before she rembered herself, her expression twisting back into one of wary resentnt.

"Otto..."

Kallen took a deep, shaky breath as she looked at him.

"Is that so? If it's you telling ... then I know you wouldn't lie to ."

"..."

Otto fell silent for a mont, his expression wavering. He stared deeply at Kallen through the screen.

His erald eyes held a look so complex it was impossible to read—yet it was enough to make a cold shiver run down Kallen's spine.

"Theresa, I will arrive at St. Freya Academy this afternoon," Otto said, his voice regaining its calm, professional veneer.

"What are you coming here for? You're not welco!" Theresa snapped.

"I am informing you, Theresa," Otto replied coolly. "Not asking for permission."
