Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Cough cough cough—everyone's here, right?"

The blonde girl surveyed the crowd below, cleared her throat, and prepared to speak.

"Um... Jiuxiao doesn't seem to have arrived yet?"

Theresa raised her hand, indicating that someone's girlfriend seemed to be absent.

"...Where is Jiuxiao?"

Snow rolled his eyes and realized that one of the purple-haired guys was indeed missing.

"Um, Bishop—I think I saw Vice Captain Nine Heavens carrying a case of vodka down below to have a dark duel with that captain who's supposed to be fighting the Undying Blade..."

One of the Valkyries from the Divine Authority squad raised her hand.

“…”

"Drag her back to me, thank you—and if that blondie is drunk, drag him back too..."

The blonde girl's lips twitched as she watched her team's Valkyrie dart out in a flash...

"Is this guy planning to go eat drunken goose sometime? He's always showing up at Bianca with vodka... Even if it's drunken goose, it should be soaked in liquor..."

Miss Snow, sitting in the main seat, muttered to herself—

Soon, the Valkyries of the Divine Authority Squad returned to the conference room carrying a half-drunk, clueless goose and a drunken, purple-haired madman...

"Let me go—I can still drink!"

“…”

"Want some more?"

Turning his head, Jiu Xiao immediately saw a blonde lady sitting in the main seat scrutinizing him... Instantly, he sobered up considerably.

"Let's get down to business first—"

Miss Snow glared fiercely at Jiu Xiao, her face saying "I'll deal with you later," but chose to let the purple-haired Valkyrie go for the time being.

“Rita sent a message—the party is at eight o’clock tomorrow night. On our side, besides Theresa and me, Ninti will probably also be there, while the old man will be there with himself and Rita.”

"Of course, that's just on the surface—Rita and I confirmed that the Undying Blade team that Dad sent out this time just so happens to be all people we know."

"Even if you use smashing a cup as a signal to summon five hundred Valkyries, it would still be Dad himself who gets pinned to the ground."

"So, you guys just need to surround that house we're in—the Undying Blade will completely ignore you, and then..."

Snow paused abruptly, raised his glass as if to smash it on the ground, and then looked at everyone present...

You know what I mean, right?

The crowd below all exchanged knowing glances.

"Mom, you and Amber will just wander around outside. If you ever have some weird hobby like wearing matching clothes, we'll kick Dad out. He'll definitely come looking for you when he sees you—"

"—Oh, by the way! Will Miss Li Sushang be coming with us or with Mother?"

"Me? I'll just go with Miss Karen—I've heard there's a term on the modern Chinese internet called 'Shura Field'..."

"To be honest... I'm quite interested?"

Good evening, votes!

My book lovers have all turned into cold-blooded, ruthless speed-up machines (sob sob sob).

*Your rush is making me inexplicably anxious too (weird).

Eternal Paradise: Chapter 455 Today is a good day to settle scores with my father-in-law~

A new day, a new beginning, and especially an important day for everyone aboard the Hyperion...

So important that Mr. Kevin, the ancestor of the Kaslana family, and Mr. Sue, the ancestor of the Apocalypse family, brought an uncle named Siegfried Kaslana aboard the Hyperion.

“Dad, where have you been all these years? You haven’t even bothered to contact me.”

Kiana grabbed Siegfried by the ear and dragged him all the way to Durandal, who had just sobered up.

"Dad, let me tell you, this is my older sister! Um... the one who jumped out of the plane back then...?"

Kiana's straightforward introduction left Durandal and Siegfried, who were just about to greet her, speechless with embarrassment....

"Hmm... How can you introduce your family like that... Kiana, is there something wrong with you?"

Snow, who was passing by, had a piece of bread in his mouth and his long, messy blond hair, which was tied up after a night of commotion, mumbled a complaint that was a little hard to understand.

"Uh... wait, is that you—that Valkyrie from Singapore?!"

Siegfried, startled, looked at the somewhat familiar girl in front of him and pointed a finger at her...

"...Singapore, oh, that matter—"

Miss Snow Apocalypse, seemingly having thought of something, devoured the bread in a few bites and pulled out a cell phone from somewhere.

“There’s one more thing—Mr. Siegfried, you should call me Bishop Snow, or Your Excellency.”

Snow, who had swallowed the bread slices in a few bites, was scrolling through something on his phone when he looked up at Siegfried and added...

"Huh? You... Bishop of Destiny???"

“Young lady, you can eat whatever you want... but you can’t say whatever you want. Isn’t the Bishop of Destiny that old man Otto? Even if he resigns, it’s not your turn—and Otto has a granddaughter named Theresa.”

Uncle Siegfried, who had been isolated from the world for a long time, was unaware of the significant events that had recently occurred in the desert...

So, the man in front of him looked at Snow with an expression that seemed to say, "Friend, are you out of your mind?", causing Snow to tense up. Snow then grabbed Mr. Kevin Kaslana, who was also passing by.

"Kevin, you old man—where did you pick this man up from???"

"Was it salvaged from the Sahara Desert or the Amazon rainforest? Or was it retrieved from the Pacific Ocean?"

"ah....?"

The white-haired man who was caught was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening...

"The underwater base of the World Serpent in the Atlantic Ocean—the World Serpent has always kept Mr. Siegfried there. That area is probably more familiar to you as the Bermuda Triangle."

"I see... then they really are no different from savages—"

Snow nodded, looked at the man in front of him who had been out of touch with civilized society for several years, and nodded with a hint of sympathy.

"What's your full name again, girl...?"

Seeing his ancestor passing by, Mr. Siegfried, sensing something was amiss, tensed up...

“Oh right, I don’t think I ever told you my full name, Uncle… Of course, we might both have just forgotten… So let me formally introduce myself—my full name is Snow Apocalypse.”

"The daughter of Otto Apocalypse, the former Archbishop of Schicksal, and the current Archbishop of Schicksal... who is also the one who instructed Mr. Siegfried to cancel all of your arrest warrants in both the public and private spheres of Schicksal."

The girl's self-introduction nearly made Siegfried faint... and her subsequent remarks made his heart leap into his throat...

"And based on your rude behavior just now, Mr. Siegfried Kaslana—I'm going to teach you a lesson that will leave a lasting impression."

"Uh...wh...what lesson?"

The instincts of the Kaslana bloodline warned the man that if he didn't back down immediately, he might be in for some serious trouble, and there might even be some bloodshed.

"—Miss Bishop, no matter what... I'm so sorry, I'm extremely sorry!!!"

There's a saying in China: "A wise man submits to circumstances." Siegfried Kaslana, the dragon-slaying hero from Norse mythology, seems to have truly become a figure of regret...

However, it seems the person he apologized to couldn't accept this kind of cowardly apology...

"Now you want to apologize? Too late—Mr. Siegfried~"

"Elbow, let's go to Siberia in the new millennium!!!"

"what?!"

Before the man could react, Siegfried, Kiana, Durandal, Snow, and Mr. Kevin vanished from the spot in the corridor—

"Why did you take me with you—"

This was the only sentence Kevin left in the hallway.

--

So where is this?

Siegfried looked at the vast white snowfields nearby and felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"This is Siberia in the millennium, the tail end of the second collapse—given Mr. Siegfried's level of understanding, I won't elaborate further."

"You'll know one thing—we just traveled through time."

Snow gave him a look that said, "I don't want to talk to a gorilla."

"Time travel? The Second Honkai Impact?? What are we here for???"

"Tsk, you old geezer—have you even forgotten Mom?"

This time, before Miss Snow could reply, Siegfried's two daughters grabbed his ears, one on each side, and began spinning him around 180 degrees...

"Wrong, wrong, wrong—you mean we travel through time to save Cecilia....?"

"You got it right... Oh, right—"

...

--

"Mr. Siegfried, I hope you remember what you said in Singapore..."

"Singapore... what did I say again?"

Mr. Siegfried, who was used to making empty promises, had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Once back on the Hyperion, Kaslana's group had a new addition: a gentle, virtuous woman with a warm smile. She was holding Siegfried's hand, while Theresa was excitedly twirling around Cecilia.

“Oh, right, Ms. Cecilia, and Kiana and Bianca—you should also listen to this.”

Miss Snow took out her phone and played a recording.

[—Siegfried received—Speaking of which, Durandal is quite strong...but she has a great figure too—big boobs and a nice butt...cough cough cough!!!]

A temporary silence fell over the reception room...
