The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Yulandel subconsciously turned her head and shifted her gaze to Rita.

"You already know it." Rita sighed softly. "No wonder Kiana subconsciously called Lady Yulandel that last night when she saw her."

"...Kiana?" Hearing Rita's whisper, Yulandel pondered for a moment, recalling the scene when she suddenly saw Kiana last night.

At that time, she seemed to shout to herself...

"Rita will explain to Theresa and Kiana before we leave. No matter how you view your identity now, if possible, you should be as nice to your family as possible." Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] said meaningfully, "I know I have no right to interfere with your choice, but I think you don't want to become like me, unknowingly becoming the perpetrator who hurt your sister."

After saying that, Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] fled away, leaving Yulandel dumbfounded and Rita standing there silently with a thoughtful expression.

Chapter 4: The Peculiarity of the Fountain Spirit (k)

"Yulandel is little Qiana??!"

Just as Yulandel's brain was in a state of short circuit due to the shocking facts that followed one after another.

On the other hand, the two elders who were related to her by blood suddenly fell into a daze for similar reasons.

In the courtyard of the first main island of Asgard, filled with the fragrance of flowers and the sound of insects, the midday sun reflected the identical wooden expressions of Theresa and Siegfried in the wine-red pupils of Rita Rossweisse [Blue Knight·Moon Soul]. The calm and elegant maid smiled and bowed slightly to the two elders who had completely stopped thinking.

"This is what happened. I'm sorry, Mr. Siegfried, Lady Theresa, but Rita is willing to take full responsibility for not telling you something so important until now."

"Wait, wait, let's not worry about that for now. Just let me take it easy." Theresa rubbed her temples, blinked her big eyes blankly, and then swallowed hard. "Yulandel...does she know about this?"

The corners of Rita's [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] mouth curled up slightly: "If the progress of Lady Yulandel is going smoothly, she should have heard the news from Rita in this world."

"What do you mean?" Theresa asked subconsciously, then she suddenly widened her eyes, remembering that she had just heard a similar description not long ago, "Wait, [this world]...you are not the same as Kiana at that time...?"

"That's right." Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] nodded calmly, "Whether it's Rita who is standing in front of you now, or Lord Yulandel and Miss Kiana who were appointed as the bishop and vice bishop by Bishop Otto, they are not the original inhabitants of this world."

"You two have replaced my own self in this world!" Theresa felt an indescribable chill rising from her back to her head. "So, where are Yulandel and Rita in this world? Where are they now?"

Compared to Theresa, it was Siegfried who first understood the current situation. His expression was somewhat gloomy, and his voice sounded like a man who was about to get angry. His eyebrows were hazy and his words were like a swan song. He was very angry, but he didn't understand the current situation first. He was very angry.

Although Siegfried almost subconsciously felt a surge of rage that seemed to curse people to death the moment he learned that his own daughter was imprisoned, but just before he turned his anger into actual action to vent it, another extremely strange thing happened, like a basin of cold water poured directly on his head, extinguishing that extremely fierce anger.

Wait, if what Rita said is true, whether it is her or Yulandel and Kiana, who were appointed as bishops and vice-bishops by Bishop Otto, they are all from a parallel world, then in terms of identity, the two of them should be his daughters, just like Kiana and Yulandel in this world, right?

After thinking this through, Siegfried was filled with confusion rather than anger.

Not to mention that it is strange enough that the same person from different worlds would inexplicably become hostile. Since the person who imprisoned his own daughter is also his own daughter, what should he do as a father?

Fortunately, no matter which world Rita is from, she is always a considerate and good girl. So after seeing Siegfried's dilemma, Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] took the initiative to speak: "Please rest assured, there is actually no irreconcilable contradiction between us and our 'selves' in this world. The reason why we chose to use a slightly tougher method to temporarily replace them is just because of our own willfulness. Rita took the initiative to confess everything to you two, in order to solve all the problems about destiny as much as possible before leaving."

"Before leaving?" Theresa was puzzled. "You...are planning to leave now?"

"Yes." Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] nodded gently, and then couldn't help but sighed deeply, "If the captain had chosen to study at the Destiny Headquarters as originally planned, we might have stayed at the Destiny Headquarters for a while like the captain. But since the captain has taken the initiative to leave, we naturally lose the reason to control Destiny, and Lady Yulandel and others in this world will of course be able to regain their freedom."

"This thing originally belonged to this world. Now, it is time to return it to its original owner."

"..." Theresa opened her mouth slightly and was silent for a long time. She said with some difficulty, "So, the reason why you did this was just because of the boy called the captain?"

"That's it." Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] said calmly, "Whether it was the full-scale invasion of the Bishop of the Destiny three days ago, or using certain conditions as an exchange to make Bishop Otto of this world temporarily withdraw from the stage of the Destiny, or forcibly requisitioning the identities of Lord Yulandel and Rita of this world, all of this was done so that the Captain could enjoy his time at the Destiny headquarters without any worries or threats."

Now, not only Theresa, but even Siegfried was speechless: "Just to enjoy life in Tianming, he did such an exaggerated thing, it's really a big deal... Didn't I realize when I was drinking last night that your captain is such a willful person?"

"You seem to have misunderstood something." Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] narrowed her eyes dangerously, "Even if it is willful, it has nothing to do with the captain. The captain himself is not aware of what we have done. Rita is willing to take the corresponding responsibility for her actions, but Mr. Siegfried, even if you are the father of Lady Yulandel, please don't speak without authorization. You should also understand the truth that disaster comes from the mouth."

"Uh..." Feeling the chill rising from the other party, Siegfried couldn't help but sweat a little on his forehead. He raised his one arm and saluted in a standard French military salute. "Okay, okay, I was wrong... You really think highly of that boy. You actually spared no effort to protect him."

"Of course." Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] showed a bright smile on her face, "After all, he is the one and only Captain."

Seeing the smile on Rita's [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] face, Siegfried was speechless for a moment, then took a breath of cold air: "Hiss... You little maid, could it be that you also have some special thoughts about that boy... just like Kiana?"

Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] blushed slightly: "This matter seems to have nothing to do with Mr. Siegfried."

"Can it be considered unrelated?" Siegfried scratched his silver hair awkwardly, "Even if they are in different worlds, Kiana over there should still be considered my daughter."

"Oh, yeah." Theresa widened her eyes as if she suddenly remembered something. "Not only Kiana over there, but it seems that Mei over there... also seems to like that boy?"

"One, two, three..." Thinking of this, Theresa raised her palm and counted her fingers one by one. "Including you, there seem to be three of them. Could it be that the boy has some strange magic? How could he be so popular with girls?"

Dangerous topic.

Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] was silent for a moment, and a somewhat stiff smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I don't think that the relationship between us and the captain is something that Lady Theresa needs to pay attention to."

"Compared to the Captain's affairs..." Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] paused as if she sensed something, and then slowly moved her gaze to the entrance of the courtyard, "Shouldn't Lady Theresa and Mr. Siegfried be paying more attention to someone over there?"

Siegfried and Theresa subconsciously followed Rita's gaze towards the entrance of the courtyard, and their breathing became rapid at the same time.

Yulandel with a complicated expression and Rita with a smile on her face stood under the gate under the sunlight. In addition to the two of them, Siegfried and Theresa also saw Kiana, whose hand was held by Yulandel, with an expression mixed with excitement and helplessness.

"Although it may be a little impolite, since the protagonists of the topic are all here, please allow Rita to leave without permission." After saying this, Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] bowed slightly to Siegfried and Theresa with a polite gesture to say goodbye, then turned around and walked away towards the entrance of the courtyard without looking back.

At the moment when her body intertwined with the three people standing at the entrance, a subtle "thank you" suddenly flowed into Rita's [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] ears.

Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] did not respond, but just smiled softly.

After resolving all matters of destiny, Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] went to the apron of the First Airport and reunited with Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Moon Soul] and two Herrschers.

After arriving at the meeting point, Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] glanced around and suddenly exclaimed: "Are there only four of us? Lady Yulandel, didn't you say that two Miss Kiana also came to this world through the power of the sky last night?"

"The two of them." Kiana [Herser of the Fire] waved her hand, "No need to wait for them, I have already sent them back to Sky City. Although they have agreed to it, after all, since Xilin has borrowed the body of the Spring Elf, we have to let her reunite with her sisters."

"Ah, whether it's Xilin or Qiana, they are really messing around." Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] sighed helplessly, "I hope the Spring Spirit won't be too angry."

"It shouldn't be that serious." Kiana [Hersler of Fire] shrugged. "Before borrowing the body, Xilin had already told her everything she was going to do. If she would be angry afterwards, she wouldn't have agreed so easily."

"Could it be that the Spring Elf's values ​​on relationships between men and women are different from those of ordinary humans?" Raiden Mei [Herser of Thunder] frowned slightly.

"No, that guy is unexpectedly innocent." Kiana [Hersher of Fire] showed a somewhat incomprehensible expression, "However, according to Sirin, since she was born from spring water, she can use the power of spring water to reshape her body... So, as long as she blocks her perception of the outside world and then uses spring water to reshape a new body afterwards, it seems that she is just sleeping for a while."

"Compared to the Herrscher of the Void, this sounds more like the ability of the Herrscher of Reason." Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] said in amazement, "It's really... eye-opening."

"Right, I think so too." Kiana [Hersler of Fire] had a subtle expression. "Anyway, since she thinks it's okay... Silin did use the body of the Spring Spirit after getting her consent, so we can't blame her for anything without permission."

"Let's not talk about the Fountain Elf and Sirin for now." Raiden Mei [Herser of Thunder] turned her gaze towards Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul], "Rita, can you find the captain's current location?"

Speaking of the captain, Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul]'s expression also became serious: "In fact, the target location that the captain will choose is not difficult to guess, although because..."

As she was talking, Rita [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] suddenly looked at Kiana [Herrscher of Fire] and Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] with a somewhat reproachful look: "...Your impulsive actions scared the captain so much that he left the Destiny Headquarters without telling us. But no matter what, the captain is not the kind of person who would ignore other people's feelings just because he doesn't know how to deal with something when he hasn't encountered a fatal threat. Therefore, in order to prevent all the Valkyries from falling into panic, the target location chosen by the captain should still be a place controlled by the Valkyries."

Hearing Rita [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] say this, Raiden Mei [Herrser of Thunder] quickly understood what she meant: "World Serpent?"

"Nine out of ten." Rita [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] nodded. "The only question is whether those heroes... and the Lady Herrscher of Man are willing to hand over the captain who has thrown himself into their arms."

Chapter 4: The world where only Theresa is injured is completed (k)

To the members of the Hyperion, the World Serpent's base was not particularly confidential information.

Or it should be said that unlike Anti-Entropy, whose command center is located in a North American military base, and the Destiny floating island group, which has its headquarters separated from the surface, strictly speaking, the World Serpent does not actually have a separate base of operations.

In other words, because its predecessor was the Fire Moth, as long as there are still facilities somewhere in the world that can be activated by these pioneers, then that place can naturally be regarded as the base of the World Serpent.

In fact, even for pioneers like Kevin, the Paradise of the Past, which at least on the surface appears to be a large-scale consciousness stealth device used to pass on power, is a pleasant surprise in itself because it can span 50,000 years of time and space and survive from the previous civilization era to the present.

Even in more than 700 years AD, when the battery of the armed puppet used to take care of Fu Hua's daily life, the Book of Cang Xuan, was completely worn out and had to enter a dormant state, Fu Hua at that time did not try to go to the paradise of the past to borrow a battery from the facilities in the paradise, because in the concept of these pioneers, except for Su protected by the Second God's Key and the dormant chamber frozen by the Fourth God's Key, there should be no other facilities from the previous civilization era that escaped from the "reset" of the end.

Therefore, it was not until the Paradise of the Past was discovered by the Gray Snake and saw the light of day again that the headquarters of the World Serpent was barely determined.

The specific location of the Paradise of the Past is at the junction of the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate. If measured on the scale of the world map, it is unexpectedly close to the headquarters of Destiny. It is even in the same time zone as Austria, the country where the floating islands are located.

...Of course, for a team with a few Valkyries who can use the power of the sky, no matter how far the distance is, it can be easily crossed in the blink of an eye.

However, before [Hersher of the Fire] Kiana was ready to set off, another group of people suddenly showed up.

"Wait! Don't leave yet! Wait for me!"

Suddenly, a clear and anxious voice came from far away outside the apron of the First Airport.

Hearing the voice, the four Valkyries who were about to leave were stunned and subconsciously turned their gaze towards the direction where the voice came from.

Amid the hurried footsteps, Theresa moved her short legs madly and ran over quickly accompanied by a cloud of dust.

Above her, Yulandel, flying in the air with the help of the flight module of "Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul", held Kiana with one hand and Raiden Mei with the other, and followed Theresa silently.

“Ha…ha…ha…ha…” Theresa ran desperately in front of the four people and panted for a moment, then swallowed a mouthful of air and said with some difficulty: “Where…are you planning to go?”

"Haven't I already told you?" Yulandel [Brilliant Knight Yuepo] said calmly, "Of course I'm going to go find my captain."

"Then before you leave, can you take Mei and Kiana with you?" Theresa said anxiously.

"?" The four visitors from another world were stunned.

Soon, Kiana [Herser of Fire] and Raiden Mei [Herser of Thunder] both reacted.

"You want us to help them control the power of the Herrscher Core, right?" Kiana [Herscher of Fire] scratched her silver hair and said with some embarrassment, "Well... But if we want to control the Herrscher Core, relying solely on external forces is actually not very useful. Rather than asking us to help them, it might be more effective to let them adapt themselves."

"But……"

Before Theresa could finish her words, Raiden Mei [Herser of Thunder] suddenly interrupted her.

"I think that taking them along... seems to be a good choice." Raiden Mei [Herser of Thunder] glanced at Raiden Mei and Kiana with a scrutinizing look, and asserted in a calm tone.

"Hmm?" Kiana [Herser of the Fire] was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Kiana, you should still remember the paradise of the past, right?" Raiden Mei [Herser of Thunder] said lightly.

"I remember, but the Mark of the Elysian Land should not be the same as the Herrscher Core, right?" Kiana [Herscher of the Fire] said hesitantly, "If I'm not mistaken, the Mark of the Elysian Land should be able to activate the power of the Stigmata?"

"You think the paradise is too simple." Raiden Mei [Herrser of Thunder] whispered, "At least from my personal experience, what I got from the memories of those heroes was more about the power of faith than material power."

“And…” Raiden Mei [Herser of Lightning] suddenly put her mouth close to Kiana [Herser of Fire]’s ear, “Don’t you think that if we in this world go to the paradise, we can distract the attention of those memories to a large extent?”

"!" Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] was suddenly startled.

Yes, although the heroes in the paradise of the past are essentially just memories, it is precisely because they are memories that when the real bodies are present, they are more susceptible to the influence of the Hyperion members than Kiana and others in this world.

Although they were not real sisters, before joining the Hyperion, Alicia was indeed the most important friend in their eyes. Therefore, in the eyes of Eden, Aponia, Padofilis and Velvi, it was almost a miracle that they could survive with Alicia to the present civilization era. Sakura even found her sister who she thought she had lost completely... Therefore, except for the two Alicias who showed quite intense emotions, and Mobius who literally coveted the captain's body, the heroes on the Hyperion did not actually show much desire to compete with them for the captain.

However, the lack of desire to compete does not mean that one does not have a good impression of the captain. If conditions permit, even Eden, who has the most peaceful and gentle temperament, probably would not mind spending a night with the captain.

Undoubtedly, this is a very dangerous thing for these Valkyries from the current civilized era. After all, even Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] has to admit that, except for the only special case of Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings], the feminine charm exuded by those fully mature heroes is indeed more destructive to men compared to them who are not yet in their prime.

In this respect alone, even the equally charming Ritas are inferior to her.

"What are you two discussing in secret?" Looking at Kiana [Hersher of Fire] and Mei Raiden [Hersher of Thunder] whispering in each other's ears, Theresa's face flashed with a very strong look of suspicion.

"No, no, no, nothing!" Kiana [Hersker of Fire] hurriedly moved her ear away from Raiden Mei [Hersker of Lightning]'s mouth, "Aren't we discussing whether it's appropriate for them to follow us?"

"So have we come to a conclusion?" Theresa asked hurriedly, "Don't worry, while Kiana and Mei are being taken care of by you, I will transfer all their living and education expenses to your account?"

"It's not about money." Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] waved her hand hastily, "To be honest, the place where the captain is now... which is where we are about to go, there is an area where Mei and I can hone this world."

Hearing this, Kiana and Raiden Mei looked at each other and saw a flash of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Really? Wouldn't that be a good opportunity for them to be with you?" Theresa said with a look of ecstasy on her face.

"Don't be happy too soon, Dean." Raiden Mei [Herser of Thunder] sighed, "The place we are talking about is a place of inheritance from the pre-civilization era. That space composed of pure memories will indeed be helpful to Kiana and I in this world, but... you should also know that the situation and ending of the last civilization era were quite bad, so, in the history of the pre-civilization era, the things they will see and the trials they will experience may be more painful and tragic than you can imagine."

"Excuse me, this is just an unnecessary and redundant tribulation for you. Even if you really can't fully master the power of the Herrscher Core until the end, we will one day find a way to allow your world to survive the Collapse safely. At that time, the so-called Herrscher Core and Herrscher Consciousness will naturally not pose a threat to you." Raiden Mei [Herscher of Lightning] looked directly at herself in this world, "Even if you know this, are you ready to follow?"

Mei Raiden and Kiana looked at each other, and a smile suddenly appeared on their faces. Then, they nodded their heads without hesitation and said in unison: "Please, let us accept the trial!"

"Um..." Just as Kiana and Raiden Mei made up their minds to awaken, Yulandel, who brought them here, raised her hand hesitantly, "Excuse me, can I join you?"

An extremely cruel and heavy trial from the pre-civilization era... For Yulandel, who has been constantly looking for ways to become stronger and constantly honing herself, the place they talk about is too tempting.

“Uh…” Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] hesitated for a moment, “It’s not impossible… But if you come with us, who will take care of the Undying Blade Squad and the Destiny matter?”

"Didn't you say that you could give the position of bishop to Senior Theresa?" Yulandel turned her gaze to Theresa, whose expression suddenly froze. "After I leave, Amber will be the one to hand over power and affairs to Senior Theresa."

“Huh????” Theresa made an incomprehensible sound, “Hey! I haven’t heard of that kind of thing——!!!”

"As for the Undying Blade..." Yulandel ignored Theresa's wailing and said after thinking for a moment, "If I remember correctly, didn't you tell me that in the Destiny Headquarters, besides me and Rita, there is another S-rank Valkyrie sleeping?"

"Indeed." Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] nodded. "As long as Otto's name is used, Suchang can do what she can for the Destiny Headquarters. During your absence, it is indeed an option for her to serve as the captain of the Undying Blade for a short period of time."

"Hey! Listen to me!" Seeing that the two Yulandel seemed to be ready to finalize the matter of sending her to the position of bishop, Theresa couldn't help but said madly, "I can't be the bishop of destiny! You...you two..."

"Auntie."

--moment.

Accompanied by a name that made Theresa's heart stop, the two Yulandel [Qiana Original] simultaneously focused their serious gazes on Theresa, and expressed their sincere request from the bottom of their hearts: "Please, can you serve as the bishop of destiny first?"

"I'm begging you too, Auntie!" Kiana clasped her hands together and asked with a wry smile on her face.

"...I...you...you guys..."

Theresa looked at the two Yulandels on her left, and then at Kiana with a smirk on her right, and she felt like her brain was about to freeze.

After her brain froze for a moment, she burst into tears.
