This heroine is so despicable

"That crisis called... 'Honkai'? I must say, it does resemble some of the disasters I know of."

"I'm glad you understand, and... it seems like you have similar problems too? This makes me wonder - could it be that even different civilizations in different worlds, when they develop to a certain level, will face similar crises? This is simply like... an artificial selection..."

Otto thought about something, then seemed to think it was unimportant, and quickly waved his hand:

"Well, rather than thinking about these bigger issues that don't provide much substantive help, I'd rather find a way to solve the current predicament."

The Bishop extended his hand gracefully:

"I, on behalf of destiny, extend a sincere and earnest invitation to you two. I hope you can join us, or... at least let us become friends instead of enemies."

"Oh?"

Xing looked at Otto with some surprise.

"It sounds like you're asking me - 'Friend or foe, choose?' Is that correct?"

Otto smiled:

"It seems that the other 'Rakshasa' did not leave a good impression on you? But I have never been a person who disdains to lie. As you can see, this world is full of crises. Under the unpeaceful surface, there are deeper crises and unknown forces. And destiny can provide protection and help for the two of you..."

Star shrugged:

"What if I don't need protection and help?"

Otto shrugged.

"Of course, you two are extremely powerful. I think you must have your own strengths and unique skills. I have already seen some of them, so...it is actually Tianming who needs your help."

"——As you can see, we are an organization whose mission is to fight the collapse. An inevitable collapse is about to come, and Destiny is trying to save more people so that civilization can survive. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you two can join us and use your power and knowledge to help more people."

After that, Otto added:

"Of course, Heaven's Fate never skimps on rewards and treatment for capable people. No matter what you two want after coming to this world, I can guarantee that I and Heaven's Fate will do our best to satisfy you."

Xing shrugged, looking as if he was moved:

"What if... I want a team of Valkyries to serve as my maid guard?"

"...Of course." Otto answered without hesitation.

Xing rubbed his chin:

"You make my heart move...but, unfortunately, I refuse."

"……Why?"

"Well... there are many reasons, but the main ones are..."

Xing took out a Dominator pistol that she had stolen from another Valkyrie and pointed it at Otto:

"Because I know people like you - you only care about one thing and don't care about anything else. It's like... there's a hole in your heart that can't be filled no matter what you do... and in the process, you don't care about the consequences for others, because you will get the results you want at all costs..."

"Emotionally I admire you, rationally I hate you... and more importantly - being your friend... that's too dangerous, I don't want to be shot from behind."

"So, we may not be enemies, but we will never be friends, Archbishop Otto~"

Xing pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the bullet shot through Otto's shadow and then blew up the holographic projection equipment.

"Done~"

After blowing the muzzle of the gun, Xing looked at Ragnar beside him and shrugged:

"So... Sister Ragna, you don't want to continue fighting with me, right? Please cooperate with me a little bit~"

Volume 220: The End of the Immortal Body, the World and the Human World: The Connection between the Two Universes

No matter how unwilling he was, Ragnar ultimately did not fight Xing for various reasons.

Firstly, the destructive power of the Valkyrie is too great. Once a fight breaks out inside a ship, it is likely to cause casualties.

Secondly... Ragnar thought he might not be able to defeat...

Moreover, she now had no idea what the Honkai energy in Xing was all about. The words spoken by the other party and Archbishop Otto also made her confused, and she just felt that they were powerful.

"Anyway, Sister Ragnar, please don't make things difficult for me. I just want my date with Kafka's mother not to be disturbed by some inexplicable guys. After we find the city, we will release the control over the people on the ship, and no one will be hurt..."

As Xing spoke, her little hands were touching Ragnar's back in an unruly manner, and she even pulled open his collar to look inside, as if she wanted to see Ragnar's stigmata.

And Ragnar wondered for a moment if he had heard something wrong - the words mother and date... can they really be put together?

Did the people from the other world get the name wrong, or are the customs there just so weird?

Before Ragnar could ask more questions, Xing gently pushed her into a cabin and locked her up temporarily.

After finishing everything, Xing returned to the bridge. The Valkyries here, under the control of Kafka, maintained control of the battleship as usual, and headed to the nearest big city as ordered to facilitate the two's escape.

Xing hugged Kafka's waist from behind and sniffed her scent carefully. Kafka felt a little itchy because of Xing's deliberately close breath, so she could only pat her head gently:

"Stop it, I'm looking at the information..."

"What information?"

"Of course it's the data from this world. It seems that our previous judgment was wrong. The 'collapse' mentioned by the locals is not as simple as 'stellar core crisis'..."

Xing then looked at the screen and found that Kafka was browsing information in a system called "Destiny Database".

"According to the official statement of Tianming, most of the power they currently possess is obtained through archaeological excavation, collection and analysis of the relics left by the previous civilization that was destroyed by the collapse. The previous civilization also seems to have been destroyed by the 'collapse'..."

Kafka browsed the entries with interest.

"According to the time of archaeological sampling... the destruction of the previous civilization was at least 50,000 years ago. I have converted it. The calendar of this planet is very similar to the pioneering calendar used by your Star Train. The year is also divided into twelve months, and the length of each month is slightly different... Converted to the Amber Age, that is to say, it was at least 300 Amber Ages ago..."

"Three hundred Amber Era?"

Xing smacked his lips. An Amber Age lasted from 1 to 76 years. If we calculate the same time, the Immortal Boat had drifted for 240 years, which was only to epochs. The youngest Star God of Destruction, Nanook, had only appeared to Amber Ages ago.

"So it seems that the collapse was a disaster that appeared much earlier than the star core... Wait, that's not right, this is no longer our original world? Converting time doesn't mean anything, right?"

Kafka shook her head.

"Do you still remember the origin of the power of destiny?"

Xing rubbed his head, trying to recall Uncle Yang's explanation when he first boarded the Starry Sky Train;

"It seems to be... part of an imaginary number?"

[Destiny is a metaphysical spiritual aggregate. When certain conditions are met, this part of imaginary energy will be completely occupied by a certain intelligent creature. This intelligent creature is called a star god. The energy it possesses is called destiny. Those who follow the path of a star god will surely receive his gift.]

Xing suddenly had a sense of déjà vu as if she was being asked a question by the teacher in class, and her reliable deskmate quietly gave her the answer - wait, has she ever been to school?

[Xing, actually... I didn't go to school either... but I may have been a teacher]

The other self was saying something that she couldn't understand.

Xing repeated his other self's answer, and Kafka nodded. She reached out and poked Xing in the chest:

"That's the problem. You can use your power and use the star core in your body to explain it, but I still retain most of my power... This means..."

"What does it mean?"

Kafka thought for a moment:

"This means that there may be some connection between this world and our original world... For example... Have you heard of the theory of the tree of imaginary numbers? The one proposed by Zandar of the Society of Knowledge."

Seeing Xing's bewildered face, Kafka could only give a simple explanation:

"You can understand it as follows: each world is like the leaves and flowers on a tree, and each branch is a form of existence of a world... Countless births and endings take place in the boundless universe, and the present and past they leave behind in the dimension of time..."

Kafka touched Xing's face again:

"I'm thinking... your 'crossing' may be due to the power of 'development' affecting the star core, allowing you to cross the barriers between leaves... Although even Elio didn't foresee this part..."

Xing touched his head in confusion - is... is that so?

【you guess? 】

Guess what! No riddle man, okay?

[Riddler? You actually said that to me? Fine, fine... I'm angry! ]

[Dear other me, maybe you think I am a riddle man, but I will not comment on this. After all, what I do seems to be a little difficult to understand in your opinion, but you have to know that it is because the time has not come yet. There must be a reason why I speak in this way. If you really want to know, then the only thing I can tell you now is that I am working hard to create a better future for the world like Elio. Therefore, for you now, I can't tell you too much information, but I am still willing to explain to you, that is because we are each other...]

——Stop, stop, stop! I was wrong! I was really wrong!

Xing quickly slid down to her other self and begged for mercy—Aha! Who taught her to talk like that! ?

[It’s good that you know you were wrong. I have a feeling that nothing big will happen next. In the days ahead... just enjoy your date with Kafka’s mom. When we return to our original world, it may be a long time before we see her again after this separation.]

You’re right, the most important thing now is the date with my mother!

So Xing rubbed Kafka hard again:

"Mom! Forget about all this information. Why don't we search for something fun in this world? Let's go shopping together~"

Looking at Xing, who had fiery eyes, full of possessiveness, and a naughty smile, and looked a little impatient, Kafka sighed helplessly in her heart...

——Maybe... I should have gone with that little girl named Kiana.

If he continues to be alone with Xing, this child will only become more and more courageous, until...

Kafka covered her forehead with her hands.

Thinking back to the past, although Xing was very attached to her, she did not show any special "mother-daughter relationship". Xing Kafka could not help but wonder if there was something wrong with her education method or if someone on the Starry Sky Train had led Xing astray?

Wait...could it be the girl named March Seven who looks so well-behaved?

Kafka was silent for a few seconds, thought about it, and nodded:

"Then... tell me more about your journey..."

Xing giggled, totally unaware that Kafka was suspecting someone of misleading her: "Of course!"

At this time, the warship had already left Siberia. Kafka copied a study on Honkai energy that she was interested in. She was about to close the Destiny Database when she suddenly remembered something and searched for information about Captain Ragnar...

then……

"The Valkyrie Stormtroopers, the most elite of the Destiny... huh?"

Kafka seemed to have seen something incredible and was slightly stunned.

Xing also poked his head over:

"What's up? Found anything interesting... huh?"

On the screen was a list of photos and names of the Valkyrie Stormtroopers, and one of them had flaming red hair... They were both very familiar with it.

Even...even the names are the same.

The two exchanged surprised looks, and finally Xing asked:

"How about we wait a couple of days until the storm has died down and go take a look?"

Kafka nodded:

"Yes, I am... somewhat interested."

Volume 221: The End of the Immortal Body, The World and the Human World: Two Jizi

In a small town in France, Europe, which is not very famous or distinctive, in a coffee shop near the city center.

This ordinary coffee shop welcomed two rare beauties today.

The red-haired woman seemed to look younger and more immature. She had a handsome single ponytail, which made her fiery red hair particularly eye-catching. She was dressed in a shirt and a short skirt and looked like a student who had just graduated, but she had a capable temperament.

Image: "Himeko's Stormtrooper Period", Location: "Images/1711996245-100390053-111510579.jpg"

The person sitting opposite her was naturally Ragnar, with short gray-brown hair neatly draped over his forehead. After taking off his Valkyrie Stormtrooper uniform and putting on casual clothes, he looked much gentler.

At this time, almost a week had passed since the Siberian Second Herrscher incident.

As the main party involved, Ragnar, after writing a lot of lengthy reports and signing several confidentiality agreements on related incidents, finally got a vacation that was neither short nor long, just like the other team members.

As Ragnar had some free time, he asked Himeko to meet him here - the latter was also a member of the Valkyrie Charge she led, and was also her student and good friend.

However, in this recent incident, Ji Zi was absent for some reasons, and unexpectedly so many things happened.

"So... the Archbishop just cancelled the establishment of the Valkyrie Stormtroopers?"

Jizi stirred the coffee cup with a little dissatisfaction.

"We obviously encountered force majeure. It's already amazing that everyone was able to return safe and sound with all the information they brought back after facing the Second Herrscher..."

Ragnar shook his head indifferently:

"The Stormtroopers were originally a special team set up to search for and fight the Second Herrscher... Now intelligence investigations show that the concentration of Honkai energy in Siberia is decreasing, and the Bishop seems to have no intention of continuing to search for the Second Herrscher... I guess he has his reasons."

Because the information about Xing and Kafka was confidential, Ragnar couldn't say much to Himeko.
