The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Bronya couldn't understand why Kiana [Hershers of the Fire] was so confident. As a fellow Herrscher, Bronya didn't believe that with her perception, she would not be able to notice the gazes of the three of them when she did those things to their captain.

Could it be that... this "Kiana" who has experienced different periods has become a real "old driver" who is completely different from the Kiana she knows?

Judging from the scene where this guy pushed her captain against the wall and did whatever he wanted... this is not an impossible thing to happen.

Could it be that she wanted to take this opportunity to mock us who had peeked at them at that time? Bronya's face sank slightly. Although she found it hard to believe that Kiana could be so scheming, considering that this Kiana was not the one she knew, she could understand why her personality and behavior were different.

So, how should I respond at this time? Feeling the scrutinizing gazes from the other two "selves" behind her, as well as Kiana [Hersher of the Fire]'s righteous expression, Bronya's mind turned over a thousand times, she took a long, deep breath, and said, "Bronya is just a little curious, why are the other Bronyas so devoted to their captains."

As she spoke, a complicated look suddenly flashed across Bronya's silver-grey eyes. She raised her eyes, and her tender little face showed a melancholy expression: "Moreover, you and I did things like ○○, ○○, and ○○ to that captain in broad daylight on the Hyperion."

"Ugh?"

What does that mean? Kiana [Herser of the Fire] tilted her head and -

"Wait wait! What are you talking about!?"

——The face that was originally full of calmness and righteousness turned rosy in an instant.

The two [Herrscher of Reason] and [Secondary Silver Wings] standing behind Bronya froze in place as if struck by lightning.

"What what? Didn't Kiana ask Bronya herself?" Bronya rolled her eyes. She didn't notice the expressions of the two of herself behind her. She just thought Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] was still acting, so she kept chasing after her. "Besides Bronya, Mei and Kiana herself in another world also suffered different degrees of shock after seeing this shocking scene. You found the boy you like, and Bronya wants to bless you. But, when you were doing that kind of thing, couldn't you consider the existence of outsiders around you?"

"Wait." At this moment, Bronya suddenly felt someone patting her shoulder.

She turned around and was somewhat surprised to see another version of herself [Secondary Silver Wings] supporting her brow.

Bronya [Second Silver Wing]'s face flushed, and her voice sounded a little trembling: "You, were you still on the Hyperion at that time?"

"?" Bronya tilted her head, "What else?"

"But, we have clearly already...ah..."

Halfway through the conversation, Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] suddenly reacted.

Before completely turning the Hyperion into a cave, they did ask the "outsiders" who "did not belong" to the Hyperion to leave, but... I don't know if it was because everyone was in a hurry, or because the three new Herrscher ladies who had just joined the Hyperion were too familiar, all the Valkyries who originally belonged to the Hyperion almost didn't regard the three Valkyries who had just joined the Hyperion as outsiders.

Because of this inertia of thinking, they did not ask the three Herrs who had just joined Hyperion not long ago and were not prepared to interfere in the captain's emotional life to leave the Hyperion.

And when the three "outsiders" who were still on the Hyperion ran into the crime scene between them and the captain, because their identities were so familiar, they would subconsciously ignore it when they sensed that kind of gaze.

After all, who among the Valkyries belonging to the Hyperion does not covet the captain's body? When everyone has the same improper desire, things that were originally shameful will fade away under the mood of "everyone is the same".

During those two days, many Valkyries who were originally very righteous gradually broke their moral limits under the instigation of other Valkyries. The most typical case was the several Yulandel - especially the Yulandel who was the first to take the initiative to confess her love to the captain before all the other Valkyries.

Perhaps out of some strange possessiveness and not wanting to fall behind, after realizing that Kiana [Herser of Fire], Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing] and Raiden Mei [Herser of Lightning] had launched a "30 Offensive" against the captain, she took the initiative to unite several other "selves" and several different Ritas, and even went to find Misterine [Weaving Feather Dream Jing] who looked exactly like Cecilia, to form an eight-person team, and tortured the captain in various different postures for a full twelve hours, and then let him go with satisfaction.

Although most of the Valkyries on the Hyperion are very kind people who have extremely high moral standards for themselves, they have reached a strange consensus on the same thing.

Only when facing the captain, if everyone does the same thing, it means that everyone's moral standards are still maintained at the same level, which means that no one has actually broken their own bottom line.

The crime of insubordination must be committed by everyone together to be safe.

——However, at this moment, in front of Bronya [Hersher of Reason] [Second Silver Wing] and Kiana [Hersher of Fire], there appeared a witness who clearly had no interest in the captain and saw them committing a crime of insubordination.

After experiencing the initial panic and unspeakable shame, the three Valkyries who originally belonged to Hyperion looked at each other and saw similar thoughts in each other's eyes.

Chapter 4: Change of Concept (k)

In fact, after experiencing the two days of Carnival filled with D○sire and Pr○miscu○us, most of the Valkyries on the Hyperion, including the two Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing] [Hershers of Reason] and Kiana [Hershers of Fire] present, had some subtle changes in their concepts without anyone noticing.

Based on destiny and the excellent political and ideological education at St. Freya's College, most of the Valkyries could be said to have high morals before joining the Hyperion.

They have an extremely firm political consciousness, and in order to implement the ideas and concepts advocated by the Mandate of Heaven, they can even lay down their lives without batting an eyelid when faced with life and death.

Excellent political and ideological education has brought these Valkyries extremely pure ideas and concepts. Therefore, although destiny is never stingy with generous rewards, it has indeed given most of the Valkyries the material conditions and life guarantees to enjoy life at will.

However, with this concept implanted in them, almost all Valkyries knew how to control their material desires, and there had never been any extravagant behavior on the floating island of Destiny.

It's not just about destiny. Just in terms of political thought, the heroes who belong to the Fire Moth are actually mostly the same.

Although that extremely tragic era brought these heroes who experienced the true "doomsday" heavy memories that could not be described as beautiful in any way, it was precisely because... even after experiencing true despair, they did not give up their inner beliefs. Conversely, it also proved that no matter whether their personalities were violent or generous, the souls of these heroes were indeed first-class and dazzling.

Su once said to Kevin: "A person's destiny is his character", but it is obvious that in most cases, things such as "character" and "concepts" can be changed through subsequent experiences.

Let’s make the simplest assumption - if there is no collapse in this world, and in the foreseeable future, the earth will not fall into disaster due to some weird things, then after losing the need to save the world...will these heroes still embark on the path of saving the world?

the answer is negative.

If there were no collapse in this world, then the Thirteen Heroes, who did not need to be a hero, would perhaps live an ordinary yet beautiful life like everyone else.

Hua, who specializes in ancient Shenzhou martial arts, Padufils, who likes fishing and taking naps, Su, who is a medical practitioner, Ying, who gets off work very late every day, Vilvi, who hangs out in the magic workshop, Kevin, who types cold codes, Qianjie, a butler who is good at making desserts, Mobius, a university professor, Kosmo, a high school student, Gracie, a famous young painter, Eden, the rich landlord, Aponia, a nurse who works the night shift every day, and Alicia, a freelancer (street slicker) who runs an Internet account under the nickname "Miss Pink Fairy".

If there is no collapse, this is probably the fate that all heroes deserve.

So, what will happen when these Valkyries on the Hyperion, who are supposed to be running around protecting all the beauty in the world, suddenly fall into a wonderful yet bittersweet love?

At first - after realizing their love, the first thing they will feel is, of course, confusion.

Except for the "Ahhhh big sisters" like Eden and Aponia, and the social phobic like Alicia, all the members on the Hyperion actually fell in love for the first time.

Not to mention the heroes who were widely regarded as external things by people in the last civilized era, even Wuliangta Jizi, who got drunk every day, went to social dances in various places from time to time to pick up young men, and who seemed to be an experienced driver on the surface, had no real experience.

When they realized that they liked the captain, the first thing they felt was that they were at a loss, but what followed was a feeling that it was natural.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the Valkyries who joined the Hyperion had objective reasons to like the captain.

Based on the original plug-in called "Hyperion" and the game features of "Honkai Impact 3rd" retained in that plug-in, most of the Valkyries on the Hyperion actually know Li Shubai better than he imagined.

They established a bond with Li Shubai across time and space through his virtual game image, and after Li Shubai actually traveled to this world, they witnessed all of Li Shubai's actions and the captain's noble and dazzling personality with their own eyes.

The captain doesn't want to see any tragedy happen around him, and doesn't want his crew members to suffer any injustice. Although his mouth is harder than Mobius's and his personality is more arrogant than Kiana who is still in school, the captain will never actively publicize the fact that "he likes them" except in some situations where he is forced.

However, before he actually came to this world, they had already seen this guy going crazy at them through the captain who was using a virtual image to command them.

- Of course, at that time, all the Valkyries would not take seriously the crazy words uttered by that virtual image, such as "I want to be the Queen's dog", "Qibao, hehe, my Qibao", "Ms. Ya is better than me!!", "Yulandel is my wife!" (except for Xilin probably). But it was not until this guy really came to them that these Valkyries suddenly realized.

Does the captain really like us?

Of course, when this fact was discovered, another problem that could not be ignored also emerged shortly afterwards.

Well, there is no doubt that this guy’s previous “crazy talk” was most likely true, and the captain really likes us.

——Every one of us Valkyrie.

The moment they realized this, unprecedented confusion suddenly engulfed the vast majority of Valkyries with normal ethical concepts.

In the concepts formed by the good education they received, so-called love should be an equal relationship, and it should also be an exclusive relationship that belongs only to men and women.

Just as most normal boys cannot accept girls cheating on their boyfriends, these Valkyries, who have high moral qualities and upright ethical concepts, cannot accept that their lovers have impure relationships with other girls.

...In addition, the Valkyries belonging to the Hyperion all possess powerful military strength beyond that of ordinary people.

If you meet a scumbag in the ordinary sense, you can probably cut him into a dozen pieces in the literal sense.

However, these Valkyries realized several very important issues -

First of all, it’s obvious that the Captain isn’t the traditional type of jerk who plays with girls’ hearts.

It was a very simple thing - after he actually appeared in front of them, instead of using a "virtual image" to make tactical arrangements for them from a distance, and until Yulandel from the original world made an extremely straightforward confession, Li Shubai had never taken the initiative to express his affection for any Valkyrie.

Of course, before being reset by [End], in order to preserve most of his memories and gain power beyond the world dominated by [Cocoon], Li Shubai was under the constant threat of "collapse", so at that time, he did not have any time to express his love for the Valkyries.

Not to mention that they themselves like Li Shubai. Even if they don't like each other, they have already buried their feelings for them deep in their hearts, fearing that their feelings will cause trouble for them. They even put all their energy into fighting against the Honkai Cause... How can these kind-hearted Valkyries have the nerve to take the initiative to clarify the relationship between the two parties under such circumstances?

After all, "liking" itself is innocent. Whether from a moral or legal point of view, the standard for conviction is only the "objective facts" that have occurred.

Even if someone "likes the majority of people" deep down in his heart, as long as he doesn't show it, most people don't even have the chance to know his true feelings, let alone "conviction."

If they hadn't heard too many strange words from the virtual image, such as "Ultimate Invincible Giant, Cute Qibao", and Li Shubai's response, "That's exactly what he said before", and the "Captain"'s love for every Valkyrie as if they were his own... or even "loving" attitude. Perhaps, even the Valkyries who have been with Li Shubai for a long time, they might not realize that this guy likes them so much.

After realizing that it was impossible to convict the captain as a "scumbag", the second problem arose.

Now, what should they do with their feelings towards the Captain?

Give up? If they knew that the captain really didn't like them and had clearly fallen in love with another person, these Valkyries would not be the kind of people who would make trouble.

In this case, giving up is no big deal, as feelings are something that cannot be forced - except for a few Valkyries like Rita and Bronya, whose moral values ​​regarding men and women are not very reliable, and who believe in "hoeism" more than mutual love; and people like Alicia who believe in "why don't we just be together?", most (perhaps) Valkyries are not unable to accept their own failures.

——But that’s where the problem lies.

The captain obviously likes every Valkyrie. From this perspective, they obviously have not failed!

Although most of the Valkyries are kind-hearted, at the same time, each of them has famous names such as "S-class Valkyrie", "Hersher", and "Thirteen Heroes".

While they have high moral qualities, most of them are a group of arrogant and highly competitive people.

I obviously like the captain and the captain likes me too, so why should I quit?

——So, the war broke out.

Of course, although it was a war, everyone was partners under the name of Hyperion, and many Valkyries from the same world were willing to give their lives to each other. In addition, it was the first time for everyone to have a romantic relationship. Therefore, the so-called "war" was mostly limited to verbal disputes. Due to the Valkyries' upright character, they even silently reached the "unspoken rule" of "not attacking the captain first."

Of course - everyone knows what happened next

First of all, unspoken rules are useless to those who don't know about them - so Yulandel in the Eigenworld, under the subtle influence of the consciousness mapping from "herself" and the rumors about the captain heard from the Hyperion, realized that "I seem to like this person" and "I heard from the Hyperion that this person seems to like me too", and then came to the conclusion that "since we both like each other, let's be together", which seems outrageous at first glance, but seems to be no problem after careful consideration. Then she launched an unstoppable confession offensive against the captain.

And then...it succeeded.

Secondly, this kind of "unwritten rule" that requires extremely high moral quality and sense of rules has no binding force at all on those who have no moral concepts and are not prepared to abide by the rules. Therefore, [Infinite World Devouring Serpent] Mobius, [Hersher of the Void] Sirin, [Lost Rosemary] Rita, and Ai Hyperion Λ completely ignored this "unwritten rule" that is basically used to restrain good people, and launched live ammunition attacks on the captain one after another.

The first person who questioned, "Should good people be pointed at with guns?" was one of the Kianas with eccentric personalities, Herrscher of the Fire.

After realizing that her captain had been cheated on repeatedly, Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] felt so aggrieved that she almost cried.

Because, in addition to the "unspoken rule" of "not attacking the captain first", almost all the Valkyries on the Hyperion have a consensus on another unspoken rule.

That is - although "the captain likes all Valkyries", "among all the Valkyries, the captain's favorite is definitely Kiana."

In fact, if the Valkyries of the Hyperion were asked to make a list based on the captain's liking for each person, almost all of them would think that they were the more important one, so everyone's list would be different. But the only thing that no Valkyrie could deny was that "Kiana is number one."

——After knowing the existence of several Alicias, perhaps, another Alicia will be added to the top candidates, but... the captain's love for Alicia is more like a feeling similar to "belief" and "admiration". Obviously, in terms of identity, as the captain, he is the one who is more "superior", but this guy's virtual image always says some incomprehensible words such as "Aimen" under Alicia's nose, and even recites a chant that sounds like a missionary language.

Regardless of other people's opinions, Alicia, who has always wanted to be with the captain, is quite interested in him.

Chapter 4: Rewriting History (k)

Putting aside the vassal character of Yae Kasumi and the fact that Brownie claims that she is not in the mood for a relationship for the time being, if we were to say which of all the Valkyries would mind the least if the captain had relationships with multiple girls, the two Alicias [Pink Fairy Lady] and [True Self: Herrscher of Man] would definitely be at the top of the list.

Although on the surface, Alicia [Miss Pink Fairy], who created an enemy for herself, seems to have a strong desire for competition, but at the beginning, Alicia [Miss Pink Fairy], who gives her love to everyone from the bottom of her heart, actually hopes to be with everyone.

Unfortunately, so-called humans are creatures who are unable to see “themselves”.

In addition, before she met the captain, Alysia had a character that had no weaknesses.

Even [Miss Pink Fairy] herself, who is also Alicia, still felt an unprecedented sense of oppression when she saw another "herself" releasing her indiscriminate passion towards the captain.

That feeling of oppression even made her subconsciously forget what she had been insisting on. It can be said that it was precisely because the other party was also Alicia like herself that Alicia [Miss Pink Fairy] subconsciously regarded her as her opponent, and made many irresponsible judgments and actions in order to keep her away from the captain.

Based on the way the Captain came into this world, all the Valkyries skipped the "childhood sweethearts" stage. Since everyone was "sent from heaven", the situation where they realized that they were not suitable for each other after spending more time together was ruled out. For most Valkyries, they had a psychological advantage in emotional confrontations with the Captain because they arrived one step earlier.

Knowing the captain earlier means having more time to spend together and more opportunities for the captain to understand their own advantages. To put it bluntly, the number of times they seduce the captain will naturally increase with time. Therefore, except for Kiana [Hershers of the End] who was originally left in the first world by the captain, among the Valkyries of Kiana's series, the one who has the greatest initiative is undoubtedly Kiana [Hershers of the Fire].

Most other Valkyries are unable to escape this iron rule.

But Alicia is the only exception.

For Alicia [Miss Pink Fairy], confirming her feelings for the captain means that she must put away her extremely aggressive and subconsciously seductive personality. The change from "loving the world in a plain way" to "loving the world as well, but having 'the one'" is a very drastic change in concept.

Even in the pre-civilization era, Alicia's relationships with others were different, good and bad, and she claimed more than once that "Eden is her best friend."

But in fact, this kind of relationship, rather than saying that Alicia failed to show "completely equal" feelings to everyone equally, it would be better to say that Alicia gave completely equal returns based on people's attitude towards herself.

Although Alicia is kind, she is not naive. Although she is kind to everyone, she has never actively hated others just because they treated her badly. But of course she also understands the principle of "treating those who are good to you, you should be better to them."

It is impossible for any human being with a normal mind to treat the parents who raised him or her with the same attitude as that towards a stranger.

This has nothing to do with the so-called "double standards" because fundamentally, for anyone, "strangers" and "one's own parents" cannot be the same kind of people.

The same goes for Alicia.

Unfortunately, finding the "only person" who belonged to her was, in a way, a serious weakening of Alicia.

Because she found the "one and only", she could no longer view the captain and others as equals. In this situation, there appeared a "self" who had just met the captain not long ago and, as always, released extremely aggressive attacks on the captain... It is no wonder that Alicia [Miss Pink Fairy] completely lost the initiative that should have belonged to the first party when facing another her [True Self·Herrser]

What’s even more terrifying is that because all Alicias are very smart girls, after Alicia [True Self·Human Herrscher] sees the pitfalls that her other sister [Miss Pink Fairy] has fallen into, Alicia [True Self·Human Herrscher] will never make the same mistake that [Miss Pink Fairy] has made again.

At least, during those two days of Carnival filled with D○sire and Pr○miscu○us, when Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing] saw Alicia [True Self: Herrscher of Humanity] teaming up with several of her best friends to bury the captain in a soft expanse of white snow, she understood that the alliance between her, Kiana [Herscher of Fire] and Raiden Mei [Herscher of Thunder] was actually far from having a complete advantage.

Although the three of them could be considered the first Valkyries to know the captain to some extent.

But unfortunately, because the Hyperion, which can automatically recruit Valkyries, has arbitrarily messed up the timeline of the entire world, so from the captain's perspective, the time when he actually meets them in real life will be much later.
