The rock wall seemed to have been carefully carved by time, covered with gullies of varying depths. Damp moss was like a green velvet carpet, crawling freely all over every crevice, flashing a faint green light in the dim light.
An unknown light source playfully shone through the narrow gap above the head, interweaving patches of mottled light and shadow in the dark cave.
Kiana carefully raised her hand, lightly touching the uneven stone wall with her fingers. The cool touch from her fingertips made her shudder. "It looks like just an ordinary cave. It doesn't have the grandeur of the legendary Chiyou ruins."
She thought the legendary Chiyou ruins would be even more magnificent...
Yang pushed his glasses up on his nose, the lenses reflecting a faint light.
She frowned slightly, feeling the faint fluctuations of Honkai energy in the air, "But there is indeed an unusual aura here." She deliberately avoided the sensitive word "Honkai energy", but her eyes unconsciously glanced into the depths of the cave.
At this moment, Kiana suddenly leaned close to Yang's face and stared at her suspiciously, "Are you hiding something?"
Yang calmly took a half step back, a professional smile on his face. "I'm just making a judgment based on archaeological data. Don't make blind guesses."
"Okay, stop it." Siegfried's voice interrupted their conversation. She glanced at Yang, then turned to Qiyana and Chen Tianwu and said, "Next, be prepared for battle and be careful of the risks you may encounter at any time."
Kiana curled her lips, but stood up straight. She skillfully checked the holsters on her legs, making sure both guns were in top condition.
"I know, I know. I was just joking to lighten the atmosphere." Although she said this, the frivolity in her eyes had faded, replaced by the concentration unique to a warrior.
Chen Tianwu nodded silently, "I'm ready and can act at any time."
Siegfried looked at the two men's battle preparations with satisfaction, then turned to Yang, her gaze as sharp as a hawk's: "Next, can you still lead the way?"
Yang felt the scrutinizing gaze and her back tensed unconsciously.
For some reason, Yang always felt that Siegfried's eyes made her feel very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere, but in Yang's memory they had never met before.
She couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that the other party was also from the Kaslana family, so she felt familiar with him?
But then again, Siegfried didn't seem to have contacted them recently, and no one knew what was going on over there.
She forced herself to remain calm as she pushed up her glasses, her eyes narrowing slightly behind the lenses. "I'll try my best. After all, this is my first time here, and I don't know much about the situation here. But based on my previous investigation and research, I should be able to find the right way."
The sound of falling water echoed from deep within the cave, and the damp air was mixed with a certain smell of decay.
Kiana wrinkled her nose: "This place is really eerie." She subconsciously moved closer to Chen Tianwu, who was watching every shadow vigilantly.
Yang took a deep breath and took the lead. "If my guess is correct, then the Chiyou ruins should be at the end of this passage."
The crisp sound of shoes on the slippery ground was particularly abrupt in the silent cave. "According to ancient records, the remains of Chiyou should be at the end of this passage. However, there may be various traps hidden in this passage, so everyone must be careful."
Siegfried followed closely behind, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, not missing any suspicious movements.
"Stay alert," she warned in a low voice. "Places like this often hide countless dangers. You never know when something strange might pop up."
Before he finished speaking, a huge figure appeared in front of them, and at this time Yu Zhe finally waited for his guests on the sea.
Bronya narrowed her eyes slightly, her long silver-gray hair fluttering gently in the sea breeze. She floated in the air and looked down at Yu Zhe in front of her.
"Is this your ship?" her voice was as cold as the arctic wind. "We've commandeered it."
Yu Zhe leaned lazily against the side of the boat with a cynical smile on his face.
He casually tossed his hair, ruffled by the sea breeze, a helpless expression on his face. "I say... after all, we're on the same side, right?" He deliberately dragged out the last syllable. "Do you really have to be so violent?"
"Since you're here, you should know what's here. Although Bronya is a fellow Anti-Entropy executor, I'll have to put you in a difficult position for the sake of what's coming next. But don't worry, as long as you cooperate, Bronya won't harm you."
"Okay, okay." Yu Zhe raised his hands exaggeratedly in surrender. "Look, I'm cooperating very well, aren't I?"
"Be gentler towards your companions, Miss Bronya." After saying that, he tilted his head and gave Bronya a sly smile.
The Heavy-Armored Bunny 19c behind Bronya made a slight buzzing sound. She stared at the grinning man in front of her expressionlessly, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes.
"Enough of the nonsense." She took a step forward, the barrel of the heavily armored Bunny 19c behind her slightly adjusted. "Bronya has detected through surveillance that your men have entered the Chiyou Ruins. Relinquish control immediately."
"Oh my~" Yu Zhe sighed exaggeratedly, spread his hands in front of his chest, and said in a deliberately sweet tone: "You are really fierce~"
She shrank her neck in mock fear, "But..."
Yu Zhe suddenly dropped his cynical expression, his eyes sharpening. "How can you be sure... that I will obey you?"
The sea breeze suddenly became strong, lifting the corners of their clothes.
Bronya narrowed her eyes slightly. "Bronya's calculations show that there's an 87.3% chance that you'll cooperate."
Her voice remained calm, but the Heavy Bunny 19c behind her had already begun to gather strength. "Unless you want to try the remaining 12.7%."
Yu Zhe suddenly burst into laughter when he heard this, and his laughter sounded particularly clear in the sea breeze.
He casually brushed his messed bangs and smiled meaningfully: "As expected of Bronya~"
"But..." Yu Zhe's eyes suddenly became dangerous, "I love challenging low-probability events."
Bronya was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Yu Zhe to give such an answer, "What?!"
"Tsukuyomi!" The next moment, Yu Zhe's eyes turned blood red.
171 Orchiddale is coming soon
"Starting from zero frame with Tsukuyomi, she is just an ordinary little girl~" At this time, the figure of "Seele" emerged from the shadows like mist. She tilted her head, with a mischievous light flashing in her blue eyes, her slender fingers gently tapping her chin, and a faint smile hanging at the corner of her mouth.
"What's going on? Our Lady Seele suddenly starts to care about Bronya?" Yu Zhe crossed his arms in front of his chest. Teasing himself was a rare pleasure.
Xi'er simply glanced at Yu Zhe indifferently, ignoring his words. As Yu Zhe's clone, she was well aware of the original's bizarre and unpredictable mischievousness.
Maybe when Yu Zhe is in the mood one day he will give everyone a very impressive performance.
Xier raised her eyes slightly, looking straight at Yu Zhe, and said in a calm tone with a hint of seriousness that could not be ignored: "But then again, is this really okay?"
"If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to let Bronya and Kiana get to know each other, then there will be no chance for them to get to know each other in the future."
Although the events of Serenity and Wendy could allow the two to meet again, their relationship would probably be that of a rival.
Yu Zhe disagreed with this, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, the Ruler of Truth is important, and it doesn't matter if it's not important."
The Herr of Truth? Just a bonus.
After all, apart from the Herrscher of the End and the Herrscher of the Origin, the Herrscher of Truth seemed to be forcibly added in just to make up the trio.
There will be no problem if you replace her with an awakened Yulandel, or any Herrscher after metamorphosis.
In Yu Zhe's opinion, there is no essential difference between them; they are all just pawns in this huge plan.
"The only important thing is Kiana, everyone else is just a side dish."
Xier raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a meaningful smile, and said, "Then Cocolia's role is even smaller, isn't it?"
"She was not an important person in the first place." For Yu Zhe, apart from Cocolia's alluring body, there was really nothing else of value that Yu Zhe could use.
Anyone can take Cocolia's place, and even Cocolia's presence is not really necessary to resolve Bronya's emotional knot.
But if Cocolia is left idle, it will not be beneficial for Yu Zhe.
After having a good meal and a good drink, one will think about sex. Who knows if Cocolia will come up with some ideas from time to time when she has some free time.
Yu Zhe didn't want his plans to be disrupted by such things.
So he assigned Cocolia a seemingly important task so that Cocolia could devote herself to it wholeheartedly.
"This way, she won't have time to cause me any trouble, and I can focus on advancing my plan."
"As for Bronya...it's actually very easy to solve her problem."
Yu Zhe does not really need to provide any guidance for Bronya's life. As long as she has the desire to find Seele as her internal driving force, Bronya will one day follow the same path as the plot.
"I will let her go through everything that the story goes through in the world of Tsukuyomi."
Although it seems like forcing things to happen, there is actually no big problem.
After all, the power gained in the collapsed world does not require any hard training. Just one transformation into a Herrscher can be equivalent to a hundred years of hard training for others.
All we have to do is resolve Bronya's heart issue and let her obtain the Herrscher Core.
"And the next person from Destiny should be here soon. I don't want to waste time on Bronya." Yu Zhe raised his head and looked towards the sky. He could sense that a flying vehicle was rapidly approaching here, and there was an aura on it that was very familiar to him.
"The strongest Valkyrie..." Yu Zhe smiled as if he had thought of something. "Let me see if you are really the strongest Valkyrie of this era. I am just a mortal born in an era without me..."
"My child..." Yu Zhe murmured softly, his voice almost inaudible, "You won't let me down, will you?"
Meanwhile, Youlan Dell, sitting in the aircraft in the distance, seemed to have suddenly sensed something and suddenly turned back to look in the direction of Yu Zhe. Her eyes were filled with confusion and vigilance, as if an invisible force was pulling her.
"What's wrong?" Fu Hua looked at Youlan Dai'er's movements and asked with concern: "Did something happen?"
"I... don't know." Yulandel frowned and showed a puzzled expression. The feeling just now was very strange, a strange feeling that could not be described in words. It was as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at her, making her feel uneasy.
"I don't know what's going on, but I have a feeling something is going to happen."
Her intuition told her that something unusual might happen next.
"Is that so..." Fu Hua looked at Youlandel. Some animals can predict an earthquake in advance and react accordingly. Similar situations are also very common among strong humans. They call it the sixth sense.
As the strongest Valkyrie just recognized by destiny, Yulandel has a sixth sense that is more sensitive than that of ordinary people. Perhaps in her perception, something is really happening.
Fu Hua said seriously, "Since you feel this way, we need to be prepared for what's next."
Yulandel nodded and said, "Well, I will pay attention."
At this moment, Rita arrived. She walked with light steps and an elegant smile on her face, saying, "Lady Youlandel, Lady Fuhua... We will reach the target sea area in ten minutes."
"I understand." Fu Hua nodded.
"Thank you for your help, Rita." Yulandel said to Rita.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do, Lady Yulandel..." Rita bowed slightly, still with that elegant smile on her face, as if she could remain calm no matter what situation she faced.
The aircraft continued to fly in the sky. The cabin was silent except for the slight humming of the instruments.
Yulandel, Fu Hua and Rita each had their own thoughts and were quietly waiting for the upcoming challenge.
Yu Zhe, who was in the distance, was also waiting quietly...
In the Tsukuyomi world, Bronya looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment in front of her with a puzzled expression.
It felt familiar because this was Changkong City, yet strange because everything here had been reduced to ruins...
172 The war is about to begin, the strongest vs the strongest!
Soon, Tianming's aircraft arrived at the designated sea area. At this moment, with the roar of the aircraft engine, the aircraft began to slowly lower its altitude. The airflow disturbance on both sides of the wings caused ripples on the originally calm sea surface.
In the distance, on a solitary reef, a slender figure stood with her hands behind her back, her red cloud and black robe rustling in the sea breeze.
"That person is..." Yulandel narrowed her eyes and stared at the figure through the porthole, a hint of vigilance flashed in her azure pupils.
As the most powerful S-class Valkyrie, she has experienced countless battles and has an extremely keen sense of danger.
At this moment, she subconsciously clenched the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand, and this legendary lance seemed to come to life in her hand and trembled slightly in Youlan Dell's hand.
Rita adjusted her skirt gracefully, a meaningful smile on her lips. "It looks like someone is waiting for us." She turned to look at Yulandel. "Lord Yulandel, be careful. They don't look friendly."
Fu Hua pushed her glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light: "According to the intelligence, there should be no other people in this sea area." Her voice was calm, but her brows were slightly furrowed.
Besides reverse entropy...
"Let's go." Yulan Dell said in a deep voice and stood up first. The Valkyrie armor she wore shone with a cold metallic luster under the light in the cabin.
"Yes." Rita and Fu Hua responded at the same time. Rita gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt to salute, while Fu Hua silently adjusted her gloves.
The aircraft hovered over the sea, and the hatch slowly opened. The salty sea breeze immediately poured into the cabin, ruffling Yulandel's golden hair.
She stood in front of the cabin door, looking down at the figure on the reef.
"I'll go down first," Yulandel said, leaping without hesitation. Her figure drew a graceful arc in the air, and the black abyss and white flowers shone coldly in the sunlight.
"Oh my, Lord Yulandel is always so impatient~" Rita covered her mouth and chuckled, but her eyes became sharp in an instant, and then she jumped down lightly like a ballet dancer.
Fu Hua was the last one to leave the aircraft.
She took a deep breath, pushed up her glasses, and then jumped down in standard military posture.
While in the air, her long hair spread out like a waterfall, and her eyes behind the glasses calmly observed the surroundings.
The three of them adjusted their posture in mid-air and finally landed steadily on the sea.
Yulandel's combat boots stepped on the water, causing ripples, but miraculously she did not sink into the water.
Rita took out her scythe, while Fu Hua maintained a fighting stance, looking around vigilantly.
"Isn't a welcome ceremony a bit shabby for just one person?" Rita whispered, her slender fingers gracefully stroking the scythe's blade. A faint smile played on her lips, but her purple eyes remained fixed on the figure on the reef. "And I wonder who this uninvited guest is?"
Yulandel did not answer, but just gripped the lance tightly in her hand, with a fighting spirit growing in her eyes.
"Be careful." Youlan Dale lowered his voice and warned, "The other party's aura... is very strange."
