The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Quantum Sea, Hyperion.

"What did you say!?"

In the conference room, a childish yet furious voice was heard.

So the Valkyries all had gloomy faces, and stared at the calm and composed Stargazer with flaming eyes. The horrifying murderous intent and hostility gathered and swirled wildly in the space of the conference room.

In the center of the conference room, Guan Xing calmly endured the hostility from everyone. She narrowed her eyes and calmly looked at Theresa who was questioning her: "Is your hostility directed at the wrong person? I am just telling you about his decision. As his Valkyrie, do you need me to remind you of what you should do?"

"Is this your sophistry?" Theresa's voice was extremely cold, and her face was as cold as ice in the sky. "Yes, as his Valkyries, we should support all his decisions! But that should not include allowing anyone to hurt himself! This is the first teaching everyone will get from him when they first board the ship! Now you tell me, he can't even do this himself?!"

“Split your personality and soul into two, let the two sides fight, and then kill one of them... No matter who dies, our captain will be hurt!! And what’s the point of this!?” Theresa flipped her right hand, and a golden cross came out as expected, waiting for the master’s instructions. She stared coldly at Guanxing’s eyes, as if she would explode and take action in the next moment, “I don’t believe that guy is such a boring person. What else do you know? As the current adjutant of the Hyperion, I have the right to know the truth of everything!”

"Kill one of them? No, no, no, you misunderstood." Guanxing fanned the feather fan in his hand, "The outcome of this battle has already been decided."

"He will kill his former self, abandon his false past, surpass the limits of his original self, and embrace the real world with a brand new attitude." Guanxing made a cold declaration, "This is the result of this battle."

"..." Theresa clenched her teeth and dug her five fingers deep into the flesh of her palms.

Under the complicated and shocked looks of Rita and Yulandel in the intrinsic world, [Tianyuan Qiying] took a few steps forward, came to Theresa's side, and patted her shoulder gently. Although her face was also gloomy, she did not completely lose her mind.

"Mr. Guanxing, at this moment, what we need is the real reason why the captain made this choice and what exactly he is doing now." She stared at Guanxing and said in a slightly deep voice: "Although you said that the captain split his personality into two, you didn't elaborate on the specific operation method or the results of doing so. But now that things have developed to this point, everyone has the right to know the truth and details of all things, right?"

"And tell me honestly." Theresa lowered her eyelids and said in a deep voice, "Did Rita Rossweisse, who left the Hyperion, also know the captain's plan like you?"

"No." Guanxing shook his head and said calmly, "The captain only mentioned all his plans to me. That Rita...she just guessed the captain's choice."

"Unlike me, she is a woman dominated by emotions and her own selfish desires. After knowing this, she should have tried her best to find the captain's trace." Guanxing shook his head. "Unfortunately, since the captain's 'superego' has successfully appeared, it means that the guy's behavior has also failed."

"Superego?" Theresa frowned.

"Everyone's personality consists of three parts," Guan Xing said calmly, "The self that recognizes its own individuality, existence, and others; the ego that is loyal to its own desires and intends to show everything about itself to the world... and the superego that imprisons the above two, restricts the self and the ego, and represents [absolute rationality]."

"The captain separated the [absolute rationality] part of his personality and buried it in the deepest part of his consciousness. Then, while retaining his ego and true self, he concealed his past memories and created a new identity for himself in a parallel world." Guanxing said, "This is the truth of everything, and his purpose is to experiment."

“Experiment?” Theresa asked.

"To be more specific, it was to test whether this could circumvent the rules of the world." Guanxing said calmly, "You are the granddaughter of Bishop Otto. You should know what the bishop who had a profound influence on you had done."

“…” Theresa fell into silence.

"The captain is an observer and a watcher. He can save everyone by bringing those who are willing to become his subordinates into Hyperion, but he is not a participant in the story." Stargazing said in a trance with empty words that contained unknown emotions. "He wants to reverse the tragedy he sees and keeps trying to change the fate of others. Even though he knows it is a futile effort, he keeps desperately going back to the past, ignoring fatigue and forgetting boredom, again and again."

Want to change tragedy.

Wanting to save the death that was happening before my eyes.

He could do anything with this feeling, but he never achieved it until the end.

Then, after repeated failures and repeated attempts at redemption that were not allowed by the world, he finally discovered——

"But even if he wants to change the story, the rules of the world do not allow the rewriting of established facts, nor do they allow outsiders to interfere with themselves." Guanxing said, "Except... there is only one way."

“……”Silence, stillness.

“He killed his past self and put his most authentic self as a chess piece onto the chessboard called the world. At that moment, the chess game will change because of him. He is no longer a watcher or an observer, but becomes a member of the story.”

"This is the path chosen by the captain, and it is also the reason why he took the initiative to raise the knife to himself." Guan Xing narrowed his eyes, "And in this process, he must make himself realize his own authenticity. In order to strengthen this cognition, he must take the initiative to cross from the false side to the real side. Therefore, according to the original plan, the [superego] will appear at this time and deny everything about the [id] and the [ego]. "

“Are you all crazy?” Theresa’s voice was almost distorted by fear. “If he denies the life he has always believed to be real, his doubts about his self-awareness and the contradictions and conflicts that come with it will kill him!!”

"If you want to deceive the world, you must first... deceive yourself." Guanxing whispered, "If you can't even deceive yourself, how can you deceive the world and bypass the rules set by the world?"

Chapter 2: Attack of Xilin (k)

There was a long silence, and no one could refute it.

Everyone present had a very deep understanding of the rules of the world, including Herrschers, high-level Valkyries, Heroes, Fusion Warriors, and even top scientists like Mobius. Therefore, no matter who they were, they could clearly recognize the heavy weight contained in the words of Stargazing.

At the same time, they also knew that this was indeed a choice the captain could make.

If it were that simple to change the fate of others, only to hurt oneself, in the eyes of the captain, there would be nothing more worthwhile than this.

What's more, they all know... Even for the captain who has become very powerful now, there are still things that cannot be done, people that cannot be saved, and endings that cannot be changed.

...They all remembered a silver-haired vampire who had a face exactly like Theresa's, was innocent and very lovable, but had not been found by the captain yet.

Most of the girls present have extremely high personal moral values ​​and a strong sense of justice. If they were the captain, if paying such a price could change the tragedy, most people would be willing to accept this level of price.

They were almost convinced by stargazing until a clear voice mixed with arrogance and ethereality broke the silence: "I have no control over that kind of thing, human, I only have one question."

The person who spoke was the Queen who held the power of the void. Although she was now raised as a stay-at-home girl, she was once an apostle of Honkai who was filled with hatred for the human world.

The Herrscher of the Sky spoke in a tone that no one could hear any emotion in, "If everything goes according to his plan, will my servant still be the same person as before?"

Stargazing nodded: "Yes, but——"

"If he comes back, he won't be the complete him anymore." Xilin continued Guanxing and said calmly, "Then things will be easy."

With a crisp snap of fingers, the space was instantly confined. No one present was prepared for the sudden attack of the Herrscher of the Void. Therefore, even the Herrscher of Fire and Flame, who also possessed the power of the Void, was unable to react and was confined in place.

At the same time, the Herrscher of Void disappeared in an instant. She came to the side of the Herrscher of Consciousness and Aponia, holding their shoulders one by one.

"He harmed my property without my permission, even if it was him—" Xilin raised her eyes. Her expression was as cold and emotionless as before she was taken on board by the captain. Her golden pupils were filled with unreasonable coldness. "—I will never allow it."

As the words fell, the figures of the three people disappeared instantly, and the spatial confinement was lifted.

Although the freedom of their bodies was restricted by Xilin in such an arrogant manner, the Valkyries present were not angry. They did not move after the space restrictions were lifted. Even Guanxing looked at the void where Xilin disappeared with a complicated look, with a trance-like expression.

Yes, no matter what the reason is, whether it is hurting others or hurting yourself, it should not be allowed. This is the essential difference between the captain and Bishop Otto, and it is also one of the qualities that allows him to gain the Valkyries' heartfelt trust.

Why, even for such a simple matter, do I need the Herrscher of the Void to remind me?

Is it because I am, after all, too rational... Guanxing fell into deep thought.

Eigenworld, January 2014, 1, China Time, 7:3 PM

Deep in the sea of ​​consciousness, Xilin was somewhat confused.

Just now, Kiana was affected by the Xuan-Yuan Sword and had Honkai energy forcibly injected into her body, and she suddenly lost control of her body.

Xilin's consciousness was forcibly pulled back to the surface, and the power of the void was released, throwing her and Fu Hua's bodies a considerable distance away.

At that moment, Xilin almost thought that her power had been taken away again. Therefore, after Kiana let go of the Xuanyuan Sword, she immediately dived back again, cursing.

Can't I just hide now since I can't beat him? Zhuo! It's never too late for the queen to take revenge! Wait for me!

But after diving deep down, she felt a little strange again.

Because she always felt that Kiana's consciousness strength seemed a little weird, far from as strong as she had felt before.

The person who took away his power didn't seem to be Kiana, but something else.

Could it be that... the current container is not that powerful? She hesitated.

If she was frightened by bluffing, it would undoubtedly be an indelible shame for Xilin.

So she gritted her teeth and went to take a look! Just go and take a look! If she found something wrong, she would just run away!

Even that terrifying Herrscher of Fire could not kill her in an instant. If she was determined to run away and return to the depths of her consciousness, no one could stop her!

So she sneakily and carefully surfaced in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Float up... float up again, and then nothing happens.

At a certain moment, Xilin's consciousness suddenly closed her eyes.

At the same time, outside, in the sea area of ​​Shenzhou.

Kiana, who was following Himeko up, suddenly changed her expression.

She covered her eyes and her body trembled slightly.

"What's wrong? Kiana." Raiden Mei, who was floating up together, was the first to notice Kiana's abnormality. After hearing Raiden Mei's words, Bronya and Himeko also slowed down their ascent.

"No...you...go away..." Kiana shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Kiana?" Raiden Mei placed her hands on Kiana's shoulders anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm about to..." Losing control...

Why at this moment, Kiana was filled with resentment and almost wanted to commit suicide on the spot.

No, if it will hurt Mei and the others, I would rather... Just when Kiana made up her mind in a rather tragic way, a voice mixed with anger and anxiety suddenly sounded in her heart.

"Who wants to hurt your friend? Give me control of your body now--!!!"

Huh? Kiana was stunned.

She suddenly felt a little crow flying over her head, chirping happily.

"I've already told you that I have no interest in hurting your companions!! Give me the control!" The voice in her heart roared in an elegant and easy-going manner: "I am your captain's master... his crew! Her Valkyrie! Give me the control!!! Let me bring him back!!"

Chapter 5 From now on, change the story · Wuliangta Jizi (k)

2014年1月7日，神州时间，下午3：32

South China Sea, Manila Trench.

Holy Judgement of Skyfire·Rated Power Zero·Skyfire is unsheathed and released!

Eden Star·Zeroth Rated Power·Pseudo-Black Hole, Liberated!

Li Shubai faced the captain and released the zeroth rated power of the God's Key in his hand at the same time. The flame storm that could burn everything to ashes and the deep celestial body that contracted the space and swallowed everything into nothingness collided with each other. The dying world let out a miserable roar in the wailing ocean and the nearby vacuum area.

The black holes and the blazing golden flames collided and entangled with each other, making a deafening echo. Light and darkness danced wildly on the pitch-black seabed, devouring each other.

The collision of the Key of God was fruitless. Li Shubai and the captain who had recalled the Skyfire Greatsword in his palm decisively bent their knees slightly, then kicked their legs violently, and rushed towards each other amid a huge sonic boom.

The ice layer, which had already been shattered by the impact of the skyfire and the pseudo-black hole, flew around like sawdust.

Two great swords of skyfire, two holders of the Key of Destruction clashed head-on at close range. The heat that was enough to melt gold and stone wantonly burned each other's skin and bodies. It seemed that Li Shubai and the captain's bodies would be burned to ashes by the flames erupted by the other side in the next moment, but the moment they were stained by the flames, they bloomed with a burst of white light.

Black Abyss White Flower · Zeroth Rated Power · Holy Spear Welwitschia, Released!!

Three seconds, six seconds, twenty seconds. The two golden swords had already fought for over a hundred rounds. Two blurry figures and the two swords were mixed and intertwined.

At a certain moment, after confirming that neither the power of the Key of God nor the competition of brute force could determine the victory, the two men simultaneously poured all their strength into the Skyfire Greatswords in their hands, slashed with all their might, and knocked each other away.

Since victory is impossible either by melee or equipment, the next step is to use spiritual attacks to give the opponent the decisive blow.

As for the attack from the spiritual dimension, of course, there is only one item.

The two parties flew backwards, leaving two long trails on the ice. Then they stood up together and threw away the Skyfire Sword in their hands without hesitation.

At a distance of 300 meters, Li Shubai and the captain simultaneously realized each other's purpose.

"God is the ultimate in change." The captain murmured.

"God is the ultimate in change." Li Shubai said in a low voice.

A glimmer of light as flawless and sharp as a diamond burst out from between the eyebrows of both parties and then disappeared into the surrounding space.

In the minds of both parties, it was as if something had stepped on the accelerator and was being driven at a rapid speed, and the blood in the veins was surging as if it was boiling.

"The wonder of all things can be expressed in words, and cannot be quantified by form."

"The wonder of all things can be expressed in words, and cannot be quantified by form."

Around Li Shubai and the captain, the light that had turned into substance twisted like countless snakes, spinning around their bodies like a whirlpool.

In terms of the scale of energy alone, the current light is just the light of a firefly compared to the flame storm just erupted by the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire.

But that's just the [tangible] part.

The nearby space was shaking, emitting a dying wail. The vacuum maintained under the gravity control of the Xuan-Yuan Sword had already expanded to a range of several hundred meters away as the Skyfire continued to burst out.

At the same time, Fu Hua, who had not yet arrived at the battlefield, had already seen through the pitch-black sea from afar and saw two lightsabers that were quickly forming extending from the bottom of the sea.

"This is..." She stared blankly at the two lightsabers that were confronting each other deep in the sea. From this distance, they looked quite small. Her face froze slightly. "...How is it possible?"

Of course she recognized what it was. Although the flashes and vibrations coming from afar had made her vaguely aware that an extremely intense battle was erupting deep in the seabed a few minutes earlier, she had never expected to see the two Taixu Sword Gods confronting each other here.

When Fu Hua realized that the two sword gods had been condensed by their users, her face changed slightly. Although her physical ability was quite powerful, she was in the deep sea after all. Without the help of other external forces, her diving speed would be limited even if she was fast.

So, it's too late.

By the time she arrived at the battlefield, the battle would most likely be over. But just as Fu Hua made this judgment, someone suddenly patted her shoulder.
