Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"The process is complicated to explain... Sleeping for more than a year is indeed a good explanation for you."

Snow thought for a moment, then nodded to Chen Tianwen, agreeing with her statement....

"this....."

After a moment of silence, the black-haired girl seemed to have thought of something and looked at Snow in front of her with some urgency—

"What about my family...?!"

"..."

She was met with silence from the blonde girl.

"They're all gone, aren't they...?"

The girl lowered her head in disappointment, falling into silence just like the blonde woman in front of her.

No—

Just as the atmosphere around the girl named Chen Tianwen was getting increasingly tense, the blonde girl broke the silence once again.

Hearing her guess denied, the girl raised her head in surprise, her hopeful eyes looking at the blonde girl.

Snow shuddered slightly, feeling uncomfortable under that gaze, and turned his body slightly to the side.

"Who is it...this unknown lady?! Please tell me who else, like me, has successfully survived—"

Chen Tianwen was eager to get out of bed and grab Snow's hands.

"You'd better stay in bed... your body hasn't eaten for a while now."

Seeing the girl's movements, Snow chose to push her back onto the bed.

"As for your surviving relative... his name is Chen Tianwu, and according to the records we found, he is your brother, right?"

"Brother Tianwu?! That's great... Brother is still alive... Wait a minute—"

What's wrong with you now?

"Um... how has Brother Tianwu been this past year?"

Upon learning that his brother was still alive, Chen Tianwen immediately began to care about how his brother was doing.

"To put it nicely... it's not exactly good—the trauma from the Great Collapse led that man to replace most of his organs and limbs with mechanical prosthetics."

"At least half of your brother's organs are not original..."

"But to put it badly, it's not that bad. Having undergone extensive prosthetic surgery, he now has the power to bounce around in the kind of cataclysmic event that once changed the course of his life."

"And he even managed to get a girlfriend..."

With Snow's unseen matchmaking assistance across time, and without the unresolved issue of Chen Tianwen, Miss Anna Shaniat found it easier to accept the man's feelings.

"girlfriend?"

"Yes...it's the Valkyrie with chestnut hair and pink eyes that you saw before you went back in time, the one who kept telling you to be safe."

"She's going to be your sister-in-law..."

Snow nodded—and casually remarked.

"Heterosexuality in disarray...it's not easy, not easy at all—"

"Hmm...that sounds pretty good. My brother's already found someone outside—that's great..."

Chen Tianwen nodded.

"Where is he now, bro...?"

"Probably on her way to this city—your sister-in-law...she's currently serving in the Valkyrie unit in this city."

"I see... Then I have one last question—"

"This unknown older sister—what are those things you mentioned, the Great Honkai, the Valkyries, and those enormous white-purple monsters I saw before I lost consciousness???"

The black-haired girl's small eyes held a great thirst for knowledge.

"This...you, Ms. Chen Tianwen—are you ready to face the truth of this world?"

"Uh... why are you suddenly so serious...?"

"Because this is a very serious matter in itself—little girl."

"Hey, you don't look that much older than me..."

"Okay, okay, I'm ready!"

Seeing that Snow Apocalypse remained unmoved with a stern face, Chen Tianwen finally chose to compromise.

"I hope you're really ready... Here's the information, take your time to look at it. If you don't understand anything, ask me later—I'm going to pick up a stupid idiot who's been beaten up and is lying on the ground."

The blonde girl tossed a terminal to Chen Tianwen, waved, indicating that she had other things to do, and turned to leave the bedroom.

--------

Anna, Anna! I've come to Coral Island to find you—

Sitting on the plane with a group of big shots who had been brought back by Imotek, Night Owl sent a message to his partner.

【Eek! Why now?! Tianwu, the Coral Island collapse reaction is very active right now—it'll be too dangerous if we wait any longer!】

Naturally, our Night Owl guy received a very quick reply—

Don't worry, Anna. I've come fully prepared this time! I'm a completely different person now!

Night Owl glanced at the leader of a certain sect, who was sitting with him as a man, and thought to himself that the advantage was clearly on his side.

[Anna, have you found any news about Tianwen?]

"Hmm...no, I haven't heard anything from that child since that blonde Valkyrie with the strange mask took him away..."

"Sigh... I see. But I'm sure Astronomy will be alright... After all, she's an S-rank Valkyrie... that puts me a little at ease."

Chapter 333 Is there a possibility that beating up a lawyer doesn't require any code of honor?

"I cannot accept this!!!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge, who had been beaten so badly that he could only crawl on the dark floor in the living room, groaned loudly as he poured out his grievances to the crowd.

"You know what—every time I cause trouble for that old fogey, a bunch of people always gang up on me!!"

"And each blow was harder than the last! This time, they almost cracked my skull open."

Seemingly having recovered somewhat, Shi Bao seemed to feel that simply describing it verbally wasn't vivid enough, so he started gesturing wildly, even slapping the coffee table in the living room.

"That only proves you're an idiot—there's a Level 3 idiot here; and... isn't it possible that fighting a Herrscher doesn't involve any code of honor?"

Snow, who had just arrived downstairs, retorted without hesitation to the loudly complaining Herrscher.

"Hey! How can you talk to your own employees like that?"

"No, that's not true—the other one who gave me something similar didn't care about his employees at all. If they died, they died; if they defected, they defected. At worst, I'd just find the next one."

"But at least I can come down and yell at you—"

"You can't even catch wild animals, do you even know how to play? When someone's alone! Charging forward under a barrage of fire, the only reason you came back is because the old fogies you're talking about didn't intend to kill you—"

.......

"I won't listen! I won't listen!!! I'm going to take on multiple opponents to prove myself!"

Unable to contain himself, Shi Bao started rolling around on the ground, then bumped into the bruises from his earlier beating, grimaced, jumped up, and shrank back onto the soft sofa.

"It's one thing to fight multiple people, but you even fought with Jiu Xiao... Her little cutie was just kidnapped by me not long ago... and you were the one who was responsible for confronting her."

"Tsk tsk tsk—that's really brave."

The blonde girl scanned the Herrscher of Knowledge with an expression as if she were looking at an idiot—

"Ahhh—Shut up!!! You guys need to figure out a way to get my revenge!"

Shi Bao, who hadn't managed to find teammates, suddenly became anxious. He joked, "I've already beaten myself up like this on my third try. Things shouldn't happen more than three times. If I go again next time, won't I really have to come back with missing limbs?"

"Alright, alright... So, my dear Herrscher of Knowledge, the great god has a question—"

"Why do you insist on fighting Fu Hua one-on-one?"

“If you dare to say, ‘I’m old, so I can hit you whenever I want,’ I’ll beat you so badly you won’t be able to get out of bed for days…and I’ll give you the exact same reason.”

"I just want to—"

"Um--?"

The blonde girl's unfriendly gaze swept over them, her face clearly saying, "Go on, I'm ready to fight."

"I just want to prove that I am stronger than her! Yes, I, Ashi, will never lose to an ancient relic that is over 50,000 years old!"

"I see—that makes things easier. When those two Herrschers start causing trouble for everyone, Fu Hua and the others will definitely split up—there will always be times when they're alone. Then you can just rush up and fight them one-on-one."

Snowlu gave her a look that said, "Is that all you've got?" and shrugged, indicating that Snowlu could simply follow Fu Hua and wait for her to be alone.

"By the way, did Jiuxiao ask you about Ningdi?"

"Ninti? You mean that blonde little girl Karen dragged into the kitchen? She does look a lot like your daughter—I mean, like your own daughter, with your blonde hair and those terrifying, eccentric purple eyes..."

"That crazy lunatic did ask me... but I vehemently denied knowing—"

Shi Bao gave me a look that said, "Praise me!"

"Okay...and then what?"

"And then...and then it was a beating...you see, I was beaten up like this—there's not a single part of my body that's unharmed."

"However, this purple-haired madman does have some sense of morality—"

Shi Bao nodded with some satisfaction, as if he had thought of something.

"Oh? What's so good about my dear Miss Jiuxiao?"

Seeing that the Herrscher in front of her actually gave a very high evaluation to an S-rank Valkyrie who was notorious in the Schicksal headquarters, Miss Snow also showed a curious look.

"At least she didn't hit my face—unlike that old-fashioned woman who would slap my face and head repeatedly until I was practically brainwashed—"

"Huh...?"

Thinking about his girlfriend's habitually obnoxious behavior of hitting people—either in the face or groin—Snow Apocalypse, after a brief moment of confusion, suddenly realized something—
