The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

"My dear Eden, what are you guys talking about?" [Miss Pink Fairy] Alicia leaned over and patted Eden's shoulder. "Are these whispers between girls?"

"What? Are you guys whispering to each other?" [True Self: Herrscher of Man] Alicia also followed her other self and came closer, putting on an aggrieved expression, "Why do you want to exclude Miss Fairy? Let me join you too."

"Uh..." Facing the attacks from the two Alicias, Eden, who was just whispering with Sakura, was embarrassed for a moment, then showed a distressed expression, "Sorry, I thought Ali didn't like this kind of older topic."

"Older?" [Pink Fairy Lady] Alicia and [True Self: Herrscher of Man] Alicia were both stunned, looking at each other in astonishment, and then said in unison: "Wait, what are you talking about?"

"Of course it's about the captain's upbringing and education." Aponia's voice was as clear and ethereal as ever. "Didn't Miss Ai say that the captain has become like a child both in appearance and mind? So, as pioneers and adults, what we should do is to take on the responsibility of guiding the captain."

"...After all." As he spoke, Aponya's face, which had always been indifferent, suddenly showed a trace of sadness. "Now, those who are most qualified to take on such responsibilities are no longer with the captain, right?"

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely weird.

"So..." Guanxing opened his mouth and suddenly felt powerful but had no place to use it. "What you are discussing... is how to become the mother of a captain?"

"It's not that serious." Eden showed an elegant and calm smile on his face. "But if necessary, I can still spare the money to adopt a child."

That smile, which was gleaming with golden light and full of wealth, was so dazzling that those stargazers wanted to squint their eyes.

"After all, I once worked in a nursing home and have experience with children." Aponya's expression was kind and holy. "Although the ending is not happy, if this experience can help the captain, it's not a bad idea for him to call me mom."

"My thoughts are the same as Aponya's." Although her appearance has not changed, the slight movement of her expression has completely washed away her lively temperament and made the current Weiwei look very stable. "Taking care of a child is nothing more than adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks to the house. If it really doesn't work, I can just split out a [mother] personality and absorb some parenting knowledge."

"Compared to being a mother, I think I should be able to be a good sister." Ying said seriously, "Now I am no longer a member of the Poison Pupa. As a member of the Hyperion, I no longer need to continue to bear the responsibility of Yingjie. More importantly, even Ling is by the captain's side. If possible, I also want to give the captain some support as much as possible."

After the four heroes had expressed their opinions, all the Valkyries who had been vying for the position of the queen a few minutes ago could not help but fall silent.

Kiana and the others all realized where the real gap between themselves and these heroes lies.

It's not a gap in appearance, strength, or willpower, but simply... a gap in age and experience.

After a long silence, Guanxing finally nodded with difficulty: "Indeed... these are all very constructive opinions. For the current captain, what he needs most may not be a [companion] who can accompany him, but an [elder] who can guide and comfort him."

Although the identities of partner and elder cannot be said to be in conflict, in fact, in some groups with special hobbies, the combination of these two identities is more attractive.

But such a strange thing was too early for Guanxing, who came from a feudal dynasty, so much so that she even forgot the possibility that [elders] could also become [partners].

So, after instinctively removing all the heroes except Dr. Mobius and Alicia from the enemy list, Guanxing subconsciously thought of another thing.

"Oh, why did I notice it only now?" Guan Xing widened his eyes and whispered to himself, "Compared to staying by the captain's side... if the captain has become a child now, then that means, can we take this opportunity... to try to change the captain's paranoid personality a little bit?"

It was like a word that awakened a dreamer. The sudden realization of Stargazing was like a heavy hammer that hit the hearts of all the Valkyries hard.

At this moment, even [Hersher of the End] Kiana couldn't help but put on a pensive expression, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was right, and her eyes widened.

"That's right!" Kiana [Hersher of the End] tapped her palms, her face full of excitement, "Since the captain has become a child now, we can definitely take this opportunity to find a way to change his weird personality!"

After thinking it over for a while, the acting captain [Twilight Knight] Theresa also felt that this approach was very feasible. Although they were already very satisfied with Li Shubai's appearance and personality, this guy's style of making the decision to face all the strange threats by himself when there was a disagreement, and then using big principles to righteously talk back at the Hyperion's Valkyries, leaving them speechless... Almost all the members on the Hyperion felt a headache.

However, although Theresa was somewhat fascinated by this plan [Twilight Knight], if she wanted to guide the captain's character in the direction they wanted, the next question came up -

"But if that's the case, is there anyone among us who is good at teaching children?" Facing the Valkyries filling the living room, [Twilight Knight] Theresa asked a soul-searching question.

Abonya subconsciously wanted to raise her hand, but after hesitating for a moment, she put her hand down again.

She does have experience in caring for children, but caring is not the same as educating.

If it is using precepts, Aponia can indeed rewrite human behavior within a certain scope, but first of all, it is impossible for Aponia to actively use the mental control ability of precepts on Li Shubai.

Even if Abonya wanted to use the commandments on Li Shubai, her commandments would not be effective on Li Shubai unless Li Shubai actively sought the commandments and let down his guard.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded.

"Aunt, aren't you the headmaster of St. Freya's academy?"

The person who spoke was Kiana from the Eigenworld. She had just been enrolled at St. Freya's College for less than a month and had a somewhat strange expression on her face.

"When it comes to educating children, you and Teacher Jizi should have similar experiences, right?"

After hearing Kiana's matter-of-fact words, the other three Kianas [Sky Ranger], [Herser of the Fire], and [Herser of the End] also turned their expectant gazes in the direction of the two Theresa's and the two Himeko's.

“No, no, no, I’d better forget it.” [True Crimson Knight Eclipse] and Jizi from the Eigenworld quickly waved their hands and said in unison, “It’s fine for you to let me be Xiao Shubai’s woman, but teacher… I really don’t deserve it.”

Ji Zi is very self-aware of her own teaching abilities. She considers herself an excellent theoretical and practical teacher, and can also act as a life lecturer when necessary.

But she was also very clear that education was a job with very detailed classifications. Although she was a very capable teacher of the fledgling Valkyrie, she was not suitable to be a teacher to someone like Li Shubai.

At least, judging from the time that Li Shubai stayed at St. Freya's College, Ji Zi from the Equivalent World asked herself whether she had been able to give much education to Li Shubai, a student. Instead, she was educated in life by this outstanding student.

After Jizi rejected Kiana's proposal, the two Thereses looked at each other and saw a little helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Although we are both the deans of St. Freya's College, to be honest... during our tenure, we were indeed a little too..." After hesitating for a moment, [Twilight Knight] Theresa's face couldn't help but blush, and she stammered a word that didn't seem that serious, "... free and easy."

Phew, several Ritas couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chapter 4: Xiaoshi: Don’t think of asking me to work overtime! (k))

Free and easy?

Rather than saying it's being lax, it would be better to say it's a disgrace to public office, right?

Not to mention destiny, even in an ordinary social enterprise, a leader like Theresa would most likely not be able to stay for even a day.

Of course, special cases like Theresa's cannot be generalized to the general situation.

At least in Rita's opinion, with a subordinate like Theresa who always neglects her duties, the person who should reflect on herself the most should be her immediate superior. However, thinking about Bishop Otto's status in the world and his doting nature on his granddaughter, she felt relieved.

But anyway, if Theresa were to take care of Li Shubai...

If you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible.

Rita suddenly thought.

With her captain's self-controlled and unyielding character, perhaps in the process of getting along with her, Theresa would be forced to develop more leadership qualities.

Of course, their purpose was not to let their captain transform Theresa, but to find a way to slightly improve the captain's character in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Therefore, this strange but inexplicable idea of ​​existence was gloriously stillborn before it was even proposed.

Theresa was unable to teach the captain because she was too casual. On the other hand, Yulandel and Rita were rejected by everyone on another level.

Although they wanted to improve the captain's character, these Valkyries did not want their captain to suffer. Li Shubai was a hard-working person. Even though he could not match Rita's anti-human schedule of only sleeping four hours a day, his level of hard work was much higher than that of ordinary Valkyries.

Plus... except for [Hersher of the End], most of the Valkyries also think they can't defeat a captain who is giving his all.

Under these complex considerations, the issue of selecting someone to serve as the captain inevitably fell into a deadlock.

Emotionally speaking, everyone hopes to stay by the captain's side when he becomes a child, but rationally thinking makes these Valkyries hope to choose the best option for the captain.

Perhaps, this is also the dilemma that parents must go through. When the captain turned into a child, the Valkyries who already had a full favorability towards the captain, of course, also gave him the same care and... choice-making difficulty as his biological parents.

"If we really can't choose someone to go to the captain's side... why don't we change our thinking?"

Just when everyone had fallen silent involuntarily because of their dilemma, the extremely wise Guanxing suddenly spoke.

"Change your thinking?"

Accompanied by the unanimous and confused questions, everyone focused their eyes on Guanxing's childish yet rational face.

"Since we are unable to select someone to go to the captain's side for various reasons, then why don't we do the other way around?" Guanxing said calmly, "Anyway, there are only two things left for us to do now - select someone to go to the captain's side to take care of him, and try to expel Honkai from this world once and for all at the same time."

"Although it's really hard to choose the right person for the former, it should be pretty easy to choose someone to fight against Honkai, right?"

"That's true." [Twilight Knight] Theresa nodded, "But if that's the case, then your original proposal is equivalent to being abandoned, isn't it?"

- Compete as fairly as possible for the power to stand beside the captain, in order to avoid unnecessary disputes. Before this, Guanxing did say such words.

But before Guanxing could explain, Kiana, the Herrscher of the End, who had originally raised objections, spoke first:

"Well, I won't compete with you for now."

"?" [Twilight Knight] Theresa was stunned, "Don't you want to go to the captain's place?"

"Do I even need to ask? Of course I do!" Kiana answered without hesitation. She then scratched her silver hair, and a hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on her beautiful face, which was much more mature than when she was sixteen. "But, if I think about it carefully, I'm not the type of person who is good at taking care of children. With the captain's intelligence and style of doing things, even when we were children... I feel like I might have been fooled by him, right?"

"Is it that exaggerated?" Kiana from the original world put her hands on her hips. "Although I admit that I am not as smart as Shubai, but... I shouldn't be completely controlled by him when he was a child, right?"

[Hersher of the End] Kiana rolled her eyes, too lazy to refute the inflated words of her younger self.

Not being completely controlled by him when he was a child? Forget it. If we let Kiana go, by the time the captain turns back into an adult, maybe Theresa and the others will be able to hold their own children.

What would happen if two dogs, both of whom thought of each other as meat buns, were together?

Of course, they eat each other clean.

...Wait, wouldn’t it be better to think about it this way?

Although she had a vision for that kind of future, Kiana, the Herrscher of the End, still used her reason to suppress this desire, which sounded rather ominous, as much as possible.

"Since Kiana chooses to withdraw——"

At this moment, another heroic voice sounded.

"——As someone who has faced the end of the world, I will fight against the collapse of this world together with Kiana."

The person who spoke was [Gengen Knight] Yulandel. After voluntarily joining [Hersher of the End] Kiana's team to fight against Honkai, she added:

"However, since I cannot go to the captain, I hope the others can let the other three [themselves] go to the captain. Is that okay?"

"The power of [Tianyuan], as long as there is one, should be enough." [Tianyuan Knight] Yulandel said lightly, "If we stay in this world, we should not need to face Senior Kevin who completed the Stigma Project before fighting the Honkai."

After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, came to the other two, patted their shoulders, and whispered: "If you go to the captain, don't force the captain to work too hard. Try to be nice to the captain. Our captain does not need to be whipped and restricted. What he needs now is care and companionship. Do you understand?"

"Yes." [Brilliant Knight·Yueping] and Yulandel of the Original World nodded their heads heavily, "We will."

"Since Lord Yulandel has chosen to take the initiative to fight against Honkai, then, as Lord Yulandel's deputy, Rita certainly can't fall behind." [Dazzling Starthorn] Rita came to [Gengen Rider] Yulandel with a smile on her face, "As for taking care of the captain... As an excellent maid, I think the other two Ritas don't need me to worry about them, right?"

"Of course." [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] smiled elegantly, his charming and flawless face full of calmness, "Just rest assured and leave the captain to us. After your mission is completed, we will definitely bring a fat and white captain back to the Hyperion."

"Then let me wait and see." [Dazzling Star Thorns] Rita blinked her eyes slightly, her wine-red eyes full of teasing, "No matter how attractive the current captain is, you can't desecrate your duties as a maid because of this."

"Ahem, you...what are you talking about?" Rita from the Eigenworld looked erratic. "Rita is a qualified maid. How could she succumb to temptation so easily?"

"I hope so." [Dazzling Starthorns] Rita smiled.

"What a touching scene." [True Self: Herrscher of Man] Alicia put on a tearful expression. She wiped away her nonexistent tears and said in a tone full of high emotion, as if praising: "In order to keep the beloved captain away from danger, the beautiful girls stepped into the dangerous battlefield without hesitation. Is there any story more moving and touching than this?"

[Miss Pink Fairy] Alicia tilted her face and said nothing, but her brilliant and clear pink pupils clearly projected a feeling of "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"

Although they have the same personality and appearance, for some reason, when [Miss Pink Fairy] Alicia saw the slightly exaggerated performance of her other self [True Self: Herrscher of Man], she inexplicably developed a feeling similar to shame.

This is probably what is called same-sex incompatibility, right? [Pink Fairy Lady] Alicia thought so.

"Since everyone has made a decision, then Miss Fairy, who is also a beautiful girl, should not fall behind." [True Self: Herrscher of Humanity] Alicia suddenly stood up from the sofa, strode to the front of [Herscher of the End] Kiana, and bent down slightly to her, "Since [The End] has taken the initiative to raise the banner of resistance to the collapse, then as long as [Origin] is added, even without the help of the captain, fighting against the collapse of this world should become a matter of reach. After all, beautiful girls are always omnipotent~"

“As for the captain…” [True Self: Herrscher of Man] Alicia stood on tiptoe and turned around lightly as if dancing, “I’ll leave the other me to you for now.”

...Preface withdrawn, you did a good job! Another me!

Miss Fairy misunderstood you!

[Miss Pink Fairy] Alicia's eyes turned red. She stood up, put on a serious expression, and raised her thumb:

"Don't worry! You're right, beautiful girls can do anything!"

Seeing the two Alicias handing over different tasks to each other, [Yun Mo Dan Xin] Fu Hua sighed softly. Just as she was about to go to [Hersher of the End] Kiana's side, her shoulder was suddenly held down.

She turned her head and looked at the Valkyrie Swift Feather who suddenly stopped her in her tracks with some confusion, and asked in a fairy-like and otherworldly tone, "What's the matter?"

“Let me go over to Kiana.” [Valkyrie Swift Feather] Fu Hua said succinctly, “Under normal circumstances, your strength is indeed much stronger than mine, but you should also understand that this level of strength... is still too small when fighting against the End.”

[Yun Mo Dan Xin] frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "But, if I can't do it, then you are even more..."

"Normally, my power is indeed not as strong as yours." [Valkyrie Swift Feather] withdrew her fingers from [Yun Mo Dan Xin]'s shoulders and slightly adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose, "But... if you use [that], the situation will be completely different."

"You mean... the full power of [Garuda]?" As Fu Hua, [Yun Mo Dan Xin] of course heard the hidden meaning of her other self [Valkyrie·Swift Feather]. But it was precisely because she understood the other party's intention that her face, which had always been indifferent to emotions, showed an almost horrified look. "But, even if it is because the divine sound is no longer there that you can temporarily unlock the full power of [Garuda], the act of excessive artificial collapse itself should still cause irreversible damage, right?"

“Don’t worry.” [Valkyrie Swift Feather] Fu Hua smiled carefreely, “Of course I know I have to protect myself. At the same time, we have [End] [Origin] [Tianyuan], so even if we really face another complete [End], there shouldn’t be a time when they would need me.”

“So, you should judge for yourself the best time to use that power.” [Valkyrie Swift Feather] turned her gaze to [Hersher of the End] Kiana, “I believe that with the help of Kiana and Xiaozhi, even if I use that power temporarily, I can control it to a level that will not cause any harm to my body.”

“Huh?!” Before [Hersher of the End] Kiana could react to [Valkyrie Swift Feather]’s words, Herrsher of Knowledge got angry, “Hey, hey, hey! When did I ever say I wanted to be with you guys? Old antique, don’t make decisions for me without my permission! I don’t have the same reason as you guys to resolve the Honkai Impact!”

"But, when it comes to the field of consciousness, only the Herrscher of Consciousness and the monitor have the most profound attainments, right?" [Secondary Silver Wing] glanced at the angry Herrscher of Consciousness, "Although this Kiana also possesses the power of consciousness, I don't think she can control it as well as you, the real Herrscher of Consciousness."

“So what? No! Even if Kiana has become the Herrscher of the End, so what? You are just a crew member like me! You are not the captain! What qualifications do you have to make me work overtime!” The Herrscher of Consciousness shook his head, expressing his attitude of not cooperating at all. “Besides, isn’t there that woman Aponya in the consciousness field? It doesn’t mean I have to do this! Why don’t you go find that mysterious woman!”

Chapter 4: Confrontation between Guanxing and Theresa (k)

[Valkyrie Swift Feather] Fu Hua felt a headache when she saw the Herrscher of Consciousness's refusal to cooperate.

Aponia does have profound attainments in the field of consciousness, but due to the particularity of her abilities, her [Discipline] is actually of no use when facing [The End].

In this regard alone, there is no difference between the Herrscher of Consciousness and Aponia. No matter how proficient she is in her power of consciousness, the so-called power of consciousness is originally the scattered objects projected from the inside of the [Cocoon]. In terms of the highest limit that can be reached, it is weaker than the power of [Consciousness] possessed by [Hersher of the End] Kiana.
