Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

Kaino raised his eyebrows involuntarily, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

She is still alive?

One of the main reasons why I didn't think of this old friend when I heard Otto's description was that Kayno believed that the other party died in the bandit inn where he first tried his sword.

"Oh? You even know her? This is definitely more than just knowing her. But since you know her, there's no need for me to introduce you to her."

Noticing the surprised look on Kayno's face, Otto blinked, but didn't pursue the matter any further. As he had said, with his long-cherished wish about to be fulfilled, his interest in digging into other people's secrets had faded considerably.

Bianca just frowned and raised her hand uprightly.

"Bishop, and brother, I need an introduction."

"Actually, there's not much to introduce. Otto has already talked about his abilities, and there's no need to worry about his identity after so long. As for his personality..." Keno pondered for a moment, "Silly?"

At least the Li Suchang in his impression was a fool to some extent.

Otto touched his chin and nodded in agreement with Kaino's point of view: "Almost."

As if hearing a familiar voice, the sleeping Li Suchang suddenly frowned, subconsciously covered her left waist with her right hand, struggled to open her eyes, and then quickly squinted them because of the bright light in the room, and her whole body tensed up.

His eyes rolled around twice under the gap, and he breathed a sigh of relief after he saw Otto's figure, and his body suddenly relaxed.

"Rakshasa?" Li Sushang touched the left side of his waist and asked, "Where is this? Are all my injuries healed?"

"With advanced medical technology, your injuries are certainly not a problem. As for the rest, I suggest you recall your past. I remember I told you."

"Hey? What did you say? Why don't I remember--"

Li Suchang, who was rubbing her head, was suddenly stunned in the middle of her words. Recalling the past, she looked around and sat in the hibernation chamber for a while.

She began to recall that before she completely fainted, the Rakshasa seemed to have said that he would wake her up when he fulfilled his wish.

After gathering her thoughts, Li Sushang turned her head, her gaze lingering stiffly between Kainuo and Bianca for several times. She focused on Kainuo's white hair, then confirmed that Otto's back was empty before speaking hesitantly, "Which of them is the childhood sweetheart you placed in the coffin? Or... are they both?"

Kainuo:?

Chapter 275 Gambling

Li Suchang's misunderstanding almost caused a big joke.

Otto looked helpless. He briefly summarized and explained to the other party everything that had happened from the time the other party fell into a coma five hundred years ago until the other party woke up. He emphasized that the saint named Kallen was a white-haired woman, and her characteristics did not match Kenobianca's.

Li Suchang nodded hesitantly.

"I probably understand."

"Just a reminder, although Saint Kallen has white hair, don't mistake a girl with white hair and blue eyes for Kallen... even if she looks silly."

In order to prevent Li Suchang from accidentally meeting Kiana in the future and subconsciously telling lies, Kainuo deliberately gave her a shot of prevention.

"Okay, okay, I'm not stupid. I mistook the person at first because I just woke up and my mind wasn't clear, plus Rakshasa... Did Otto's previous promise cause me to misunderstand?"

Li Suchang waved her hand to indicate that she understood, and looked at the two of them with interest.

"By the way, what are your names? Since you were brought here by Otto and you called me, you must be on good terms, right? Let's get to know each other."

"Kaino Kaslana."

"Bianca Yulandel Kaslana."

"Kai...what's Slan and what's Anka?"

The two rather tongue-in-cheek names made Li Suchang frown for a moment. She scratched her head with a distressed expression.

"This name is so hard to pronounce, even harder than the Rakshasa's name. Don't you get tired of saying it normally?"

"You'll get used to it after a while. And just call me Kaino and call my sister Bianca," Kaino replied. "Also, our relationship with Otto...at least, my relationship with Otto can't be called very good."

"Not too good?" Li Suchang looked at Otto hesitantly.

"It's not that good, really. We're just ordinary partners. Apart from that, it's not an exaggeration to say there's some slight animosity between us."

After saying this, Otto turned his head and looked at Kaino with a smile on his face.

"But is your self-introduction just about mentioning your name? I thought you would go into more detail, like you knew the Red Kite Immortal, knew her Taixu Sword Master, and that your strength was superior to hers."

Kainuo didn't react much, but Li Suchang, who was standing opposite her, became agitated.

"Wait a minute, Luosharen. You said his strength is higher than that of Grandmaster Chiyuan?" Li Sushang's eyes widened. "Grandmaster is seriously injured again?"

"...You're right about that, but that's not what I meant." Otto said with a smile, "Kaino's strength is definitely above that of the Red Kite Immortal at his peak."

"Really?" Li Sushang asked subconsciously, then shook her head and denied her own words, "I don't believe it."

Although her master and uncles were all considered traitors, she was truly respectful and venerable. Especially after the misunderstanding surrounding her mother's death was resolved, and after spending some time with Fu Hua, she came to respect and adore the Red Kite Immortal even more.

Although he doesn't blindly worship her, he still has full trust in Fu Hua.

"If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. Well, how about we make a bet?" Otto suggested.

"Although Chi Yuan was no longer at her peak at that time, you who have fought her should be aware of her true strength. Fight with Kaino. If you lose, you will become a member of the Fate of Heaven and help the Fate of Heaven deal with the upcoming Honkai disaster. How about it?"

"The Taixu sect has always taken it as its mission to eliminate demons and defend the way of righteousness. Besides, given our relationship, you can just ask me directly for this kind of thing." Li Sushang didn't care.

"But this bet... Mother once told me not to bet with anyone casually, but I'm also curious about the strength of this person you admire so much—where should we fight?"

Seeing that the two of them had agreed to the bet without him saying anything, Kainuo couldn't help but scratch his cheek.

"No, you don't need to refer to my opinions?"

In the small sleeping room, Kainuo and Li Sushang stood at the two corners of the room facing each other. In order to clear the duel area for the two, Otto and Bianca retreated directly to the corridor behind the door.

Otto, who had already made up his mind about the outcome of this battle, no longer paid attention to the situation on the field. He turned his head to look at Bianca, who was concentrating on the battle with bated breath, and raised one corner of his mouth.

"Bianca, how about we make a bet on the outcome of this battle?"

"I don't think that's necessary, Bishop," Bianca said without turning around.

"Although this is our first meeting, I can tell that Miss Li is a down-to-earth, diligent, and hardworking person. She has practiced the Grand Void Sword Divine since childhood and has earned your approval. I believe she must have achieved great success in her abilities, and dealing with ordinary Herrschers is no problem."

"But... you, my dear Lord, are well aware of my brother's situation. No matter what, there's no chance of him losing."

"Speaking of which, do we really need to fight here? The Rakshasa people should be quite wealthy, right? Aside from the fighting arena, they shouldn't be unable to find even a relatively open area, right?"

Li Suchang remained alert with his bare hands. While talking to Kainuo who was standing opposite him, his eyes wandered, trying to find a flaw in the other party.

"I used to be quite wealthy, but there's nothing I can do. The giant beasts named Theresa and Kiana are devouring Tianming's wealth. If I don't pay attention, I'll be broke sooner or later."

"Plus, today is the first day of the new leader of Tianming, and it's time to establish her prestige. If we go out and fight now, it might draw attention away and have some adverse effect on her."

Kainuo answered half-nonsense and half-seriously, causing Li Suchang to frown.

"What's this mess?"

She had just woken up and was still confused. (9) Liu Shan was too good at understanding the nonsense coming from humans five hundred years from now.

"nothing."

Kainuo glanced at Li Sushang's empty hands and said, "Come to think of it, don't you need to use weapons? And you just woke up not long ago, don't you want to have a good meal? After all, you haven't eaten for five hundred years. If it were me, I would definitely wake up several times out of hunger and eat a full meal before going back to sleep."

"Once the Taixu Sword Intent is cultivated to a certain level, it no longer relies on weapons. This is even more so after learning the Sword God. And as far as I know, Master and Grandmaster don't usually carry weapons with them." Li Suchang's voice was cold, and he had already sunk into his heart, reducing his attention to external things to a minimum.

Kayno pursed his lips.

Is it possible that the Yu Duchen in Fu Hua's head is fake?

"But since you don't want to use weapons, is it okay with me using weapons?"

Li Sushang shook her head, "I don't mean to..."

Her eyes suddenly widened.

The massive amount of Houkai energy that had been circulating in and out of her body since she entered the Kenshin state suddenly dissipated without any warning. She suddenly felt a strong sense of tightness and powerlessness in her limbs. At the same time, a sudden gravity descended on her, pressing her heavily to the floor. Even if she used all her strength, her bones cracked, but she could not get up.

Looking at Li Suchang who was attacked by three Judases and a Star of Eden projected by him, Kainuo smiled shyly.

"You were the one who said you had no objection."

Chapter 276 Knowledge is power!

The sudden and instant failure made Li Suchang stunned. She lay there for a while, unable to get up. But fortunately, this failure did not hit her too hard.

He lost to Eagle in his first sword trial, lost to Ma Feima in the second battle, and was seriously injured and near death in the decisive battle at Tianqiong Peak. His life experience, which can be called legendary, made Li Suchang have a big heart. He relaxed a little, dusted off his clothes and climbed up. Although he looked at Kainuo with reluctance, he still admitted defeat honestly.

"You won, I accept the bet and will work honestly for your organization called Tianming from now on." Li Sushang said depressedly, "I originally wanted to go back to Shenzhou to see what changes there have been."

"Don't worry about that. We at Skyward Sword aren't some kind of organization that exploits the Valkyries. Especially now that Honkai events aren't happening so frequently, there are plenty of opportunities for vacation. If you have the chance, ask Xiaozhi to take you on a flight, or you can fly there yourself. It won't even take a day to go there and back."

After thinking for a moment, Kainuo added, "Of course, if a Herrscher explodes, you'll still need to work, and Auntie will have to discuss the contract with you personally."

Kainuo was quite active in recruiting people for Tianming.

While he might not be as strong as the Li Sushang he knew, this Li Sushang's strength was definitely above that of an ordinary Herrscher, and could significantly alleviate the pressure on Destiny. Even if he and Bianca were to be absent unexpectedly, they could prevent the same Honkai Impact wrath caused by a shortage of manpower as before. Furthermore, with the addition of another capable person, Theresa's situation would be much easier.

Otherwise, would he (II) agree to the bet proposed by Otto?

"Don't bother Theresa with this for now. Let me take full responsibility. After all, if her grandfather adds another issue to her new job, she'll probably be furious and come over to protest."

"Besides, I just happened to be taking Su Shang for a stroll around Tianming and explaining some modern knowledge. After five hundred years, I personally woke her up, so I have to take some responsibility."

Kainuo was surprised: "It's really rare to hear the word responsibility from you."

Li Suchang frowned, but Otto shrugged nonchalantly, his tone still relaxed.

"Oppressing the good and playing with life. From a universal perspective, Otto Apokalys is undoubtedly a pure evil. But now that my wish has been fulfilled, I can still take care of my friends and even perform some good deeds."

After a pause, Otto added:

"By the way, why don't you and Bianca come to Klosten tomorrow? It's where everything started, and it should also be where everything ends."

The communication ended here. After setting the time for the next and final meeting, Otto took Li Sushang and left the hibernation room first, leaving Kaino and Bianca looking at each other in bewilderment.

"By the way, brother, this is for you."

Just after leaving the underground passage and returning to the church, Bianca seemed to remember something and took out a small piece of soul steel from her portable device. Without waiting for Kayno to ask, she took the initiative to explain.

"To be honest, although I promised to retell you how I recreated the World Bubble in the Quantum Ocean, the specific operations were all handled by Xiaoyou—the Holy Sword Youlandel who previously assisted me in recreating the World Bubble within my body. I only understand the general theories."

"But fortunately, Xiaoyou is quite clever. Before recreating the world bubble, she separated a small piece of soul steel from her body and recorded everything that happened there. It should be very helpful to you."

Kainuo took the soul steel and examined it carefully for a while. After realizing that the information recorded on it could not be seen clearly with the naked eye, he immediately began to use his power to analyze the soul steel.

In this way, he could easily read the information recorded on the soul steel, but a new problem arose.

"I don't understand." Kainuo scratched his head with a bitter face.

The knowledge about the exploration of the quantum sea dimension, the deconstruction and evolution of the world bubble, the establishment of the imaginary tree protocol, and the various data when replaying the world bubble are far more complicated than the structural diagram of the Moonlight Throne. The difference between the two is almost the difference between an ordinary undergraduate thesis and a graduate thesis.

What is even more distressing is the knowledge about the Quantum Sea, about which even Tianming does not have much knowledge.

"What should we do then?" Bianca asked with concern.

"If you can't understand it, forget it. It wasn't prepared for me in the first place."

Kainuo pondered for a moment, shook his head, and put away the soul steel block.

Anyway, he hadn't originally planned to recreate the world bubble in his body by his own strength. Those were the responsibilities of Prometheus in his body.

I hope that the intelligent program created by the Fire Moth specifically for the inversion of the world bubble has the knowledge reserves in this area. I also hope that the other party can be as reliable as Xiaoyou in Bianca's body, and at least be able to record the information on the soul steel on its own.

Seeing Li Sushang from the Equivalent World this time, he also missed his friends in the Inner World. If circumstances allowed, he would like to go back and see them before facing the end - and by the way, recruit some reinforcements.

"Okay, we've basically finished the important stuff. Bianca, what are your plans for now? Should we go back to our respective homes and meet up tomorrow, or go hang out at Tianming together, or maybe ask Auntie for some help?"

"Aunt Theresa... I'm afraid we can't help her with her work, and if we appear next to her, we might even attract her attention."

Kayno nodded.

Indeed, apart from anything else, if he went there, he would probably not be able to resist teasing his own aunt.

"So what you mean Bianca?"

"I want to go home," Bianca said.

"Although I recognized you earlier, brother, I didn't have any obsession with exploring my past. To me, I am who I am. I acknowledged our blood relationship and was happy about it, but I didn't think knowing the details of my past would have any impact on the present."

"It wasn't until I witnessed the past of a girl named Kiana Kaslana in the Stigmata last time that I finally understood. Although I don't care about the past now, I once must have had a future that she cared about. And that hope was definitely not as simple as becoming the strongest Valkyrie in the Destiny."

Bianca stared into Keno's eyes, seriousness and desire brewing in her deep blue pupils.

"I…would like to know."

Kaino blinked, then suddenly raised his hand and pressed Bianca's head, ruffling the blonde hair with some white into a ball.

"If some girls heard you say that becoming the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny is easy, they would definitely be sulking for a long time."

"And you don't have to worry about expectations. Although you've kept your diary secret and don't want your family to see it, and your interest in Homunculus comics has greatly decreased, you're still quite the same as you were as a child in terms of core qualities—"
