Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Yay! Uncle Qianjie isn't saying anything—that means he agrees! Sis, what about you?!"

The pressure is now on Sakura's side...

"Xiaoling, you...sigh—"

"Mmm... It's mainly because you've always taken care of me, older sister—I almost forgot about myself."

"Sister, you also have the right to pursue your own happiness!"

"...So you dragged your Uncle Qianjie into this mess???"

"Hey~"

Chapter 323 Anti-Honkai Organization X Herrscher's House √

"Is everything settled? Is there anything you forgot? Did you bring your ID card and passport?"

"I got all of these directly from Heaven's Mandate through connections and special privileges, so don't lose them—"

Compared to the tense atmosphere of World Serpent and Destiny preparing for their journey to Coral Island, the group consisting of guide Snow and assistant guide Herrscher of Knowledge was more like a tour group, leisurely heading towards their destination.

After all their fuss, the group finally decided to travel together with Snow, Kallen, and the Herrscher of Knowledge to the maritime refuge city of Coral Island in this era.

Upon hearing that a wild Kevin might be produced, Qianjie, who originally planned to say goodbye to these troublesome incarnations and run away with Sakura and the others, eventually followed.

"Ugh....."

Carrying a small amount of luggage, Sakura seemed to have thought of something and let out a deep sigh—

"What? You've been sighing and complaining ever since that golden-haired deity contacted you privately once?"

"Sakura, did that god say something strange? Just ignore that inarticulate guy... Hmph, I'll spit out that chattering mouth of hers later!"

Our Mr. Qianjie seemed to be planning to warm up by fighting Kevin with something else before they actually got into a brawl, but Sakura quickly stopped him...

"No... Miss Snow Apocalypse handed me a bill."

"bill?"

The man's voice sounded confused and puzzled.

"Hmm...it's about Rin's bill—"

After hesitating for a moment, Sakura pulled out a very, very long bill from behind her back...

Report on the Losses to St. Freya Academy in the Terrorist Attack

"......"

"What did that brat do???"

Seeing the bill marked in red for the St. Freya Cathedral and the Valkyrie accommodations, along with the staggering nine-figure compensation, this usually volatile man fell silent for the first time.

As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny, let alone the heroic figures who originally covered all their food, lodging, and other expenses like the moths to a flame. They really didn't have a single penny to their name... except, of course, Eden.

Even the jewels Eden once gave me... can only offset a portion of these debts—

Sakura let out another deep sigh.

"So what did that brat do?"

"Then Miss Snow told me... the Twelfth Divine Key, which preserves the consciousness of the Bell, is stored in the basement of the church at this time, in a place called St. Freya Academy..."

"When Ling came out, she activated one of the abilities of the Key of Corruption, turning into a giant construct warrior... and then rampaged through the church, destroying most of the dormitories in the academy."

"However, Miss Snow said that the bill could be discounted by half, and Destiny would cover the rest, without interest, and there was no repayment date..."

Sakura's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly as she was mentioned.

Then Qianjie looked at the astonishing number at the end of the bill, and after dividing it in half... it still seemed to be around nine figures.

The entire bill, rounded up, consists of only one sentence—

I could never repay this debt even if I worked like a slave my whole life. Expecting Sakura to pay off the entire debt alone is less sensible than having the two heroes completely destroy Destiny...

Just as Qianjie began to consider how to make this "fate" that prevented the disintegration more respectable, a spark of inspiration flashed through his mind—

"You mean that glib-tongued god gave this bill a 50% discount, waiving interest and not requiring a mandatory repayment period?"

"That's right... Qianjie, is there a problem with that?"

Sakura nodded, looking at Qianjie with some confusion as he suddenly stopped being irritable and began to think rapidly.

"Hmph, I know what this foul-mouthed guy's topic is—"

Seeing Sakura's somewhat puzzled look, the man explained in a slightly annoyed tone.

"This guy knew perfectly well we couldn't pay this bill, yet he still showed it to you, and all the conditions he set made clearly stated that he had no intention of seeing how much you owed him..."

"Sakura, what do you think she's up to? This guy just wants to keep us in this organization called Destiny."

"this...."

.....

"What are you two muttering about—the submarine is ready—"

After waiting a long time for everyone to arrive, Snow Apocalypse followed the trail and finally found the two people hiding there whispering to each other.

"Hmph, gods, what are you trying to do by leaving us in Destiny?"

"Huh? Oh... you actually noticed?"

The blonde girl wore an incredulous expression.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?!"

"Then you could be a little smarter—do you think ordinary people in this era even know about Honkai?"

"Can you integrate into the society of these ordinary people?"

Even if you integrate into this society of ordinary people, how well can you adapt?

"With your temper, if you punched someone and sent them flying this morning, you'd be trending on the national news by noon, and you'd be in deep trouble."

"It would be better to stay obediently in Tianming. We can see what you think about it later. You can take up a position and go out with Tianming's identity to cause some trouble."

"This isn't the era of your unified civilization, the Moth of Fire. Modern civilizations still have the concept of nations—"

"And Destiny, as the vanguard in this era's fight against the Honkai, while not as powerful as your old main family back then, is still capable of supporting both of you—"

"Then how can you guarantee that the organization called Destiny won't end up like the Moths of Fire?"

The moment he said those words, the man subconsciously glanced at Rin in the distance and Sakura beside him.

Sakura, who was under the gaze of a thousand tribulations, understood what he meant and looked at Snow with some nervousness.

"You need not worry about this at all—"

"Compared to any other useless written or verbal guarantees, destiny has a tangible and verifiable proof—"

"Oh? I'd like to see what concrete guarantees you have to offer regarding this so-called destiny—"

The man spoke in a tone as if he were watching a good show—and then his mouth was completely shut up...

"The Third Herrscher of this era was picked up by Schicksal and became a Valkyrie. Recently, she has made good progress in her studies and moved to your old punching bag Kevin's World Serpent for further training—"

"The Herrscher of the Void who also serves as the Herrscher of Flame in this era is the niece of one of Schicksal's two current bishops—she recently returned home, and we'll probably hear news of her promotion to S-rank Valkyrie soon—"

"And I also have a whole bunch of agents hanging under the Heavenly Name, eating and drinking for free—Qian Jie, how do you feel about that? How do you feel about that?"

"......???"

Her reply was Sakura and Senjaku, their faces and masks etched with question marks.

Chapter 324 This world needs more heroes!

"In short, most of the Herrschers of this era... well... how should I put it?"

"Born rebellious? And then, as an organization fighting against the Honkai, Destiny accepts all comers...?"

"In particular, the original entity of the Eastern Destiny—the St. Freya Academy of the Far East Branch—has trained several Herrschers who chose to fight against the Honkai. Moreover, they also have Welt Yang, the Herrscher of Reason and leader of another organization that fights against the Honkai disaster, as their teacher and mentor."

Snow, watching Qianjie whose mask was about to fall off and Ying with a complicated expression, solemnly explained the current situation of Destiny...

"So, if you think that little Ling is an exception, you're overthinking it—in this era, Herrschers are best at turning against their masters and becoming traitors."

"Sigh... If only the Herrschers and people of our time... had been this tolerant..."

Sakura sighed deeply, seemingly regretting something; while Qianjie, without any restraint, muttered the name of a certain busty nun—

"Hmph—Apollia!"

"Wow, wow—you can't blame Miss Aponia for that."

Seeing that Qianjie seemed to be venting all his anger on a certain Aponia lady, Snow interrupted the man's voice, which was full of resentment and sounded like a roar.

“Every era has its own unique circumstances and choices. That lady did choose the right path. Perhaps from the perspective of us outsiders 50,000 years later, that precept may have many things that are worth criticizing. But it is also this precept that was enough to allow the previous civilization to continue in its final period.”

"Even if this period is incredibly short—the phrase 'Never give up hope of defeating the Honkai' has brought countless benefits to this civilization, hasn't it?

"The surviving warriors of the Fire Moth, with their indomitable spirit, slept deep underground for 50,000 years, sowing hope and the future for a new era of civilization."

"Think about the advantages—without that lady, perhaps some of those pioneers who were already mentally and physically exhausted would have chosen to give up or even commit suicide much earlier."

"And without the blessings of our predecessors, this civilization might not have had the Destiny Anti-Honkai Organization, nor would there have been a family called Apocalypse... Nor would a man named Otto Apocalypse have been born to devoutly pray to the gods and summon a god from the highest heavens."

"There would be no present moment. You would only be forgotten warriors, unrecorded by the world—and that child named Rin would only be the Twelfth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Corruption, recorded in some cold data—her abilities and harm would be recorded, but her name would not be recorded."

"I know, of course I know—! But I just can't swallow this!!!"

“Then you can go beat up Kevin—you can’t beat up Aponia. That lady, in order to find the answers that the ‘world’ could not give her, chose to merge with the Paradise of the Past and became the ‘world’ itself. If you’re feeling restless, when you get there you can go beat up that shameless old man who slacks off at work and eats noodles when he goes out.”

"Are you sure Kevin will come—"

Qianjie looked at Snow for one last confirmation, the words "Is the information reliable?" seemingly written on his mask.

"Of course, you should have confidence in the ability of the other 'me' to mess with her poor ancestor—she's probably already threatening some noodle-eating man to dismantle his wife, the Gunfire Saint Judgment, if he doesn't come to help."

"Hmph—that guy got what he deserved, so these brats are just a nuisance."

"Really? I wonder which gentleman was the first to chase after that little brat after he saw her running off like a madwoman—his reaction was several times faster than her sister's."

"Shut up—!! Wait...didn't you say you were leaving?—Lead the way!"
