Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

"How are you going to send us back, Your Excellency the Saint?"

Hoshimiya, who only half understood what Kiana said, was very curious. The void had been eliminated, so how was she going to send them back?

"You'll know when the time comes. Don't worry, I, Kiana Kaslana, will always keep my word."

Kiana winked at them mischievously and said mysteriously, and Hoshimiya nodded:

"hope so."

"Let's go, sister."

After saying that, Kiana turned and left. Yulandel gave Xing Jianya and the other three a warning look and followed Kiana's steps:

"Section Chief, do we still have a chance to return to New Eridu?"

Faced with inquiries from her own team members, Hoshimi Miyabi, the head of the Air Defense Section 6, was also unsure about Kiana's words:

"Let's wait and see. If the saint's promise is not true, then as long as they have no ill intentions, everyone, we can only live in this strange land."

Listening to Xing Jianya's serious words, everyone in the Sixth Section of the Sky was concentrating and holding their breath. In the corridor, Yulandel looked at Kiana:

"How are you going to send them back to their world? The Hollow has been eliminated by the Captain."

"I can simulate the void."

Kiana stretched out her hand, and a purple-black circle appeared on her hand. Although this body was a clone, its material was the same as Kiana's original body. Yulandel couldn't help but feel surprised:

"So fast?"

"Well, that's what Herrscher of the End says. As for the location of that world, we'll have to see if there are any space crystals left after the Captain destroys the space nodes."

Kiana waved her hand, dispersing the void in her hand, and then continued to speak to Yulandel:

"Without spatial crystals, even if I could simulate a void now, it would only be an existence similar to imaginary space."

Yulandel breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's really, really scary."

"This was developed by the captain. He really has a lot of wild ideas in his head."

Kiana's words aroused Yulandel's interest. The blonde knight became interested:

"tell me the story."

Kiana stroked her chin and thought for a moment before speaking:

"For example, he taught Mei to rotate her magnetic field, and through the principles of electromagnetism, he used her own magnetic field to further break through and master the magnetic field of the universe."

"However, due to the output power issue, Meiyi can only rotate the magnetic field to a maximum of over 500,000 horsepower."

"All we can do is reduce the electromagnetic field to a critical value within an area of ​​the universe that's only about the size of our Moon-shaped base."

"We're still some distance away from what the Captain envisions, where Mei can completely eliminate the electromagnetic field in the entire solar system, or even the entire universe, with just a wave of her hand."

The person the two sisters were talking about had just arrived in the captain's room with Bronya. Mei and Bronya came to Gao Su's side.

"To be honest, if the Captain had long hair, he would look a bit like Himeko-sensei from behind."

Mei sighed as she looked at the figure with his back to them. Gao Su, who was sitting in his seat, did not stand up because of Mei's words.

Bronya gestured to Mei, then quietly came behind Gao Su and suddenly patted his shoulder:

"Captain, where's Kiana?"

"She went to take care of some things with Yulandel."

Gao Su looked at the obvious disappointment on the face of the gray-haired beauty in front of him and replied. Bronya pouted and looked at Mei:

"It seems that things are not as you and I thought."

"I'm not Teddy, thinking about that kind of thing all the time."

Gao Su was a little surprised by Bronya's words. Is this how he is seen in their eyes?

"Hard to say."

Bronya thought for a moment, sat on the console, kicked off her high heels, and stepped on Gao Su's thigh with her stocking-covered feet:

"Xingjianya, what are you going to do?"

"Kiana said to let them go."

Gao Su's answer was concise and to the point. Mei asked in return:

"what is your opinion?"

"Just like her, we now have to deal with enemies from outside the solar system. As for this, let's wait until we have more time."

Then, Gao Su tapped the screen twice, and a crystal purple object appeared on the screen:

"This is the empty spatial node, or rather, the crystal that remains after the destruction of the giant corpse called Nineveh."

"Kiana can use this to rebuild a hole leading to Hoshimiya and the others' world."

Mei is skeptical of her captain's words:

"She can do such a thing?"

"It's the Herrscher of the Void's body itself, and with the Herrscher of Truth's computing power, reconstructing an identical void isn't a difficult problem."

"Compared to Kiana, I'm more concerned about Mei and Bronya's use of their Herrscher abilities. As for Fu Hua, Xiao Shi is a little uncooperative, so it'll take a little longer."

Stroking Bronya's thighs, Gao Su looked at them. Bronya crossed her legs, clamped his hand, and then leaned down:

"Then I have to ask you, to what extent do I have to achieve the captain's satisfaction?"

Smelling the citrus scent, Gao Su rested his chin on Bronya's legs.

"My satisfaction depends on how much you want to protect what you want to protect."

"How about this, after the Hollow thing is over, the three of you will fight that Ms. Huangquan and understand the gap between you and the outer solar system."

Mei sat on the side of the chair in a ladylike manner, half of her body leaning against the captain.

"Actually, according to what she said, we can definitely recuperate within the solar system for a few years."

"After all, there are imaginary energy tides surrounding the solar system that even the so-called Star Gods cannot break through."

Gao Su took her into his arms:

"While we are developing, the outside world is also developing. We are taking advantage of the fact that the outside world has no understanding of us and creating an information gap."

"So, what about Star God? After all, that title has the word 'God' in it."

Bronya raised her concerns, to which Gao Su sneered disdainfully:

"Star God? But he also ascended from a mortal being. Since there is this path to take, then what can't we do?"

This sparked Mei's interest:

"Are you saying that we also have the possibility of becoming Star Gods?"

Gao Su nodded, and then continued:

"But correspondingly, they also lost the right to control their own 'fate'. In other words, 'fate' is no longer in the hands of the Star God himself, but is restricted by 'destiny'."

"As for becoming a Star God? Are you going to exchange your own destiny for that so-called throne? I think Kiana would be the first one to disagree."

In response, Bronya raised her own objection:

"Why do you say that? Don't the Star Gods control destiny? They have the power to control destiny. Isn't destiny the same as 'fate'?"

In response to Bronya's question, Gao Su gave the answer to this question:

"Star Gods are those who open the unknown door to destiny and go the furthest along this path, becoming the spokespersons for the destiny they have opened."

"As a spokesperson, as a condition, Destiny grants the spokesperson top-tier combat power, but at the same time, the spokesperson must abide by Destiny's will at all times."

"You cannot violate, stop, or break away from it. Once you violate, stop, or break away from your destiny, it means...

"Then they will be killed by their own destiny, waiting for a new Star God to appear. In fact, in this situation, the Star God is no different from a slave of 'Destiny'."

As a great inventor once said, when one problem is solved, a new one arises:

"How does that compare to the Herrscher and the Star God? Captain, the Herrscher represents the ultimate laws of physics."

Gao Su looked at Bronya strangely about this question. Why would she ask such a question?

"The level of imaginary energy I master is insufficient. Even with the ultimate physical laws, it is difficult to compete with the Star God."

"Also, have you forgotten how you destroyed the Herrscher who appeared on Earth?"

"Although a great price has been paid, there is no sign that the Herrscher cannot be eliminated, even at the end."

Hearing this, Mei asked back:

"What about the Star God?"

"Star Gods can also be destroyed."

Resting his chin on Mei's shoulder and inhaling the faint scent of cherry blossoms on her body, Gao Su continued:

"The Star Gods are the embodiment of concepts and philosophies. Naturally, I want the Herrschers to rival the Star Gods."

"Then we must first understand the three major laws of dialectics: the law of the unity of opposites, the law of quantitative change into qualitative change, and the law of the negation of the negation."

Mei frowned at the increasingly obscure knowledge, but Bronya, as the Herrscher of Truth, felt a little relieved.

When he was about to return the Herrscher Core to his senior, Walter Yang, he was stopped by the captain.

In order to understand the obscure words spoken by her captain, Bronya changed her posture.

"So, in other words, we just need to transform the Herrscher itself from the ultimate physical rules into a philosophical concept?"

Gao Su shook his head:

"If that's the case, then you're putting the cart before the horse, abandoning your greatest advantage over the Star Gods."

"Physics is the foundation of philosophy, and philosophy is the soul of physics! Moreover, we are all human beings who have lived on the surface of the planet from beginning to end."

"It's impossible to intuitively grasp the vastness of the universe and celestial bodies. So, when you start adding stories that take place among the stars, if you rely on your Earth-trained intuition, it's easy to make some jokes."

These words made Mei and Bronya look at Gao Su with disdain, and they glared at him at the same time:

"The captain is not like the humans on Earth, or on the surface of a planet."

In response to this, Gao Su naturally had his own means of counterattack:

"But I already know that the universe and celestial bodies are vast. Moreover, if you want to understand the outer solar system, Raiden Mei, who comes from another planet, is perfect for you."

"Of course, even if you have a foundation, it's impossible to become a Star God in one leap. We can take it slowly."

"Similarly, you can choose not to become a 'slave' of fate, but to become a true 'lawgiver'."

But even though Gao Su said this, Mei and Bronya still wanted to understand one question:

"So how does Kiana compare to the beings in the outer solar system?"

"You'll know after competing with that Huang Quan."

Gao Su looked towards the figure of the white girl on the deck with the members of Anti-Aircraft Section 6:

"Or, there's no need to compete with Huang Quan. You all still remember how to judge a Herrscher's strength, right?"

Following Gao Su's gaze, Bronya recalled the connection between the Herrscher and civilization. However:

"But that only applies to the childhood of civilization, right? We don't even know how long ago civilizations outside our solar system existed..."

Gao Su interrupted her with a finger and chuckled. Bronya's breathing, already a little tight due to the uniform she hadn't adjusted in time, became even more rapid after hearing her captain's chuckle. She tugged at her collar to let her chest breathe.

"Say it!"

"Have you forgotten what Prometheus said again?"

Gao Su's words reminded Bronya of what the former civilization AI that looked similar to her had said:

Civilization is always starting from scratch, constantly bringing things that were once only fictions into the world. Humans create everything they have with just their own hands and brains. And the mechanism that enables them to do this...is also "story."

So in this sense, human civilization originally existed by telling stories through stories. It is a vast network of ideas, and each unit within it is what we call a person.

"So, let's understand it this way: any definable 'concept,' or 'philosophy,' represents a 'narrative.'"
