The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

The moment Li Shubai finished speaking, a golden cross appeared without warning beside Yulandel and Xilin. With the sound of metal collision, it expanded back and forth with the center as the base point, like a clamp being opened.

The golden chain shot out from the center of the cross like a bullet, and quickly wrapped around the bodies of Yulandel and Xilin.

The cross that suddenly appeared beside Xilin and Yulandel, and the chains that flew out from it, firmly trapped Yulandel and Xilin's bodies, making them unable to escape.

The bond of binding, the oath of Judah - unfold!

Yulandel frowned and instinctively exerted force on her arms, but suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness invading her body.

Xilin narrowed her eyes slightly. Her emotions, which were already difficult to control due to grievance and anger, became even worse due to some ominous premonition.

Generally speaking, the chains extended by Judah's Oath alone would not be able to lock up Yulandel, who had awakened the power of the Holy Mark, and himself, the Herrscher of the Void, without releasing its zero-rated power divine grace barrier.

But unlike Yulandel, Xilin had no intention of struggling. Because she knew Li Shubai better than Yulandel, she knew that ordinary keys of restraint would not work on them, but the Oath of Judah in Li Shubai's hand was an exception.

"...What do you want to do?" The chained Xilin stared at the expressionless Li Shubai, "Hurry up and let me go!"

"Everyone aboard the Hyperion is a companion who should trust each other," Li Shubai said coldly. "I can ignore minor fights of a playful nature, but as the captain, I should order a ban on vicious fights among the crew."

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Xilin's forehead because of Li Shubai's gaze, but she still raised her head forcefully and forced herself to look into Li Shubai's eyes: "So what?"

"So -" Li Shubai looked directly at Xilin's flustered and helpless eyes, and said lightly: " - I will punish you."

"Huh?!" Xilin made an unbelievable sound. The ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. She swallowed her saliva and her scalp tingled: "Wait, I admit it--"

Then, in Yulandel's astonished gaze.

Snapped!

Accompanied by a crisp sound and a tingling sensation from her buttocks, Xilin, who was halfway through her words, suddenly blushed with shyness and shame.

"Stop! You..."

Snapped!

"It hurts! Stop now, I..."

Snapped!

"No! Let me go..."

Snapped!

"I have already admitted..."

Snapped!

"Hey! You, don't be too..."

Snapped!

"No, please stop...at least not in front of that woman..."

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

A piece of hot knowledge that I just mentioned once.

The body used by Sirin, like Kiana, is a clone of Yulandel.

Normally speaking, it would be fine if Xilin could be described as invulnerable to swords and guns.

Therefore, although the sound of Li Shubai's palm hitting Xilin's perky and elastic buttocks sounded very crisp and pleasant, Xilin didn't even feel much pain, let alone being hurt.

However, the tingling sensation that came over her heart still made Xilin clench her teeth tightly, her face flushed, and she tried hard not to scream out in front of Youlandel because of this strange feeling.

By the time the sound died down, Xilin's forehead was covered with sweat, her knees were slightly bent due to weakness, and her proud golden pupils were filled with confusion that could not be concealed. The Herrscher's gorgeous and beautiful black and white battle robe was tightly attached to Xilin's well-proportioned and tall body because it absorbed sweat.

Seeing Xilin's appearance as if she had experienced eight hundred rounds of battle, Li Shubai's face turned slightly red, but he still narrowed his eyes and shifted his gaze to Youlandel who had a dazed look on her face.

"Gu..." Watching Xilin, who used to look so proud, turn into such an unbecoming state, Youlandel, who was fearless and thought she could solve all problems with violence, swallowed her saliva, and her ice-blue pupils trembled slightly.

Chapter 4: Herrscher of the Void: Don't come over here!! (k)

Although Theresa and Kiana had prepared themselves for everything a long time ago, when they followed the Herrscher of the Fire into a spacious conference room, they instinctively held their breath after seeing the many figures that came into view.

Kiana almost immediately shifted her gaze to the two Raiden Meis present. She looked at the faces of the two Raiden Meis, which looked similar in appearance but had very different temperaments. She then looked at the many beautiful women present, some whom she knew and some she didn't, and her eyes widened.

Theresa silently counted the number of people present in her heart, and secretly clicked her tongue in her heart.

It was not known if it was because they had received information from somewhere that Theresa from the Eigenworld had also joined the Hyperion. In order to distinguish themselves from each other, Theresa on the ship was not wearing her usual nun uniform. Instead, she changed into an elegant battle skirt that looked like a dress, with four huge straight flying blades floating close to her body behind the hem of her skirt. Her silver-white hair was tied up into a high ponytail on the right side.

After changing into the liberated posture of the fourth-generation God-killing Armor, [Twilight Knight·Moon Glory] Theresa turned around after hearing the sound of the door opening. She glanced at Theresa standing at the door, nodded slightly to the other self, and then immediately turned her gaze to Kiana, and quickly came to her in two steps at a time.

"I already know about your situation." The Twilight Knight walked up to Kiana and said calmly, "Since you have already joined the Hyperion, there is no need to be polite. Feel free to seek help and use everyone's strength to solve the problems you encounter."

Theresa turned her face to the side, staring at the Twilight Knight's calm yet majestic expression. She couldn't help licking her dry lips, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

Kiana shuddered and came back to her senses at the Twilight Knight's words, which were calm, harsh, yet caring.

She lowered her head slightly, looked at the Twilight Knight who was looking up at her, and couldn't help but shrink her neck.

Although they are both Theresa Apokalis and there is no difference in appearance, but perhaps because of her dress, the aunt in front of Kiana gives her a sense of majesty that is much higher than Theresa next to her.

The overly harsh atmosphere made Kiana feel a little dumb and at a loss.

Fortunately, Theresa is the commander-in-chief of the Far East branch after all. Although she met another self with more leadership qualities than herself, Theresa would not become as confused as Kiana because of this kind of thing that she had already prepared for mentally.

Although she was somewhat unwilling, after meeting the Herrscher of the Fire, Theresa had already prepared herself mentally for the role of acting captain of the Hyperion - that is, another Theresa who was much better than herself.

Theresa came to the side of the Twilight Knight, patted her shoulder, and asked in a questioning tone: "How much do you know about the problems that Kiana encountered?"

"Instead of asking me how much I know, you might as well ask the people on this ship what they don't know about Kiana's experience." The Twilight Knight turned his head, looked Theresa up and down, and answered her question calmly: "According to the information brought back by the Herrscher of the Fire who once mapped Kiana's consciousness, she should be at the stage of just entering Saint Freya Academy now."

Theresa hesitated for a moment and nodded: "That's right."

"Then things will be easy." Twilight Knight looked at Kiana. "She hasn't gotten back the Serenity Gem yet. The Conquest Gem is still with Mei in your world, and the Desire Gem and the Plague Gem are in Grandpa's hands. Under such circumstances, it's not that easy for Sirin to take control of Kiana's body. If you just want to maintain the status quo, you only need to keep an eye on Grandpa in your world and Fu Hua who is still on Grandpa's side."

"Fu Hua?" The name that came out of the Twilight Knight's mouth stunned Theresa and Kiana. They looked at each other, and then looked at the Fu Huas sitting in the room who had completely different temperaments, with disbelief in their eyes.

Theresa looked at the Twilight Knight and asked in a low voice, "You said that Fu Hua in our world... is on Grandpa's side?"

"This is not something that needs to be hidden from you, and you don't need to be cautious with me because of this kind of thing." At this moment, a calm and cold voice suddenly interrupted their conversation. Among the three gray-haired girls present, Fu Hua, the only one wearing glasses, walked to the door with regular and strict steps.

She looked at Theresa and said calmly, "During the period when Kiana entered St. Freya's College as a student, I was indeed your classmate as Otto's subordinate with the purpose of monitoring the Second Herrscher."

Theresa and Kiana turned their eyes at the same time and looked at Fu Hua who suddenly walked to the door. Her overly calm and indifferent face and words made Kiana and Theresa feel like they didn't know what to say.

"Let's not talk about the past for now." Twilight Knight said softly, "If we talk about stances, at that point in time in 2014, not only you, but most people, including Yulandel and Rita, stood on Grandpa's side."

"It's okay, Dean, you don't need to excuse me. I don't plan to blame myself again because of this kind of thing." Fu Hua shook her head, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Kiana with gentle and encouraging eyes, like a real elder: "Rather, it's a great blessing for me to have the opportunity to make up for the mistakes I made in the past."

"Since you can see things in a more open-minded way, I won't say much." The Twilight Knight nodded and shifted his gaze away from Fu Hua.

"Let's get back to the topic of Kiana." Fu Hua said, "If we want to maintain the status quo, we just need to stay alert to Otto and me in that world. Now that Rita and Yulandel have joined the Hyperion and you know so much information, even Otto should not be able to forcibly awaken Xilin's consciousness."

"And that's not all. Because the Herrscher of Fire and Flame mapped Kiana's consciousness, Sirin should have already penetrated deep into Kiana's consciousness. Even if she has a chance to wake up, she may not choose to forcibly seize control of Kiana's body." As if she had thought of something, Fu Hua glanced at the Herrscher of Fire and Flame and said, "In addition, Sirin on our side also ran to your side secretly... To be honest, even if you don't come to Hyperion, the Herrscher consciousness in Kiana's body should not pose much of a threat."

"Of course, since you still choose to join the Hyperion despite having such an advantage, it means that you are not satisfied with simply maintaining the status quo, but want to solve the problem with Kiana once and for all." The Twilight Knight raised his arm and pointed at Yun Mo Danxin, Aponia and the Herrscher of Consciousness who were sitting in the room, and said lightly, "If that's the case, then go find the two long-haired Fu Hua and Aponia. They are the three most proficient in the field of consciousness among all the members of the Hyperion."

After hearing the words of the Twilight Knight, Theresa and Kiana's eyes were filled with an incomprehensible confusion.

Kiana looked at Yun Mo Danxin and Herrscher of Knowledge, and then looked at Fu Hua [Valkyrie Swift Feather], following Twilight Knight's instructions, and couldn't help asking, "Why... are you looking for those two long-haired you?"

"Uh... this question..." Fu Hua smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but whether it's the Herrscher of Knowledge or my past heyday, they are much stronger than I am now."

"Don't underestimate yourself." It was clearly the same voice, but for some reason, Kiana heard a kind of elegant and transcendent aura in this voice that was completely different from Fu Hua's. She turned her gaze and looked in astonishment at Yun Mo Danxin, who had approached them at some point.

Yun Mo Danxin glanced at Fu Hua calmly, and a calm smile suddenly appeared on his emotionless face: "You have already broken through my inherent state of mind. Given time, you can reach the realm you have reached before, or even surpass your past self. This is the foreseeable future."

"Thank you." Looking at her past self, Fu Hua chuckled and whispered, "I hope so, too."

Yun Mo Danxin nodded, then looked at Kiana: "As for the matter of Miss Kiana, just leave it to us for now."

Looking at Yun Mo Danxin's clear and refined gaze, Kiana, who was supposed to be a social phobic, became extremely nervous. She pinched her white fingers awkwardly and lowered her head slightly.

Suddenly, there was a snap.

Kiana lowered her head and was not paying attention when someone tapped her shoulder.

Kiana shuddered when her shoulder was tapped, and raised her head in fear.

What came into view was Fu Hua's playful smile.

"Why are you acting like a woman?" The third Fu Hua who was present suddenly patted Kiana's shoulder and laughed. She hooked her arm around Kiana's neck quite naturally and said in a cheerful and carefree tone, "Don't worry! With me here, no one dares to hurt you. Isn't it just the Second Herrscher? If that guy dares to come, I will beat her until she begs for mercy."

“No…” Looking at the Herrscher of Knowledge’s unruly appearance, Fu Hua suddenly showed a headache expression. She held her forehead and said helplessly: “Let’s not talk about the fact that Kiana is indeed a girl. If you beat up the Second Herrscher, won’t Kiana still be the one who gets hurt?”

"I am the Herrscher of Consciousness." The Herrscher of Consciousness waved his hand and said, "Why not just pull the consciousness of the Second Herrscher out of her? With the help of Aponia and another old antique, it will be easy to do this, right?"

"Knowledge... what?! You said you are the Herrscher of Knowledge?" Theresa opened her mouth in disbelief, "Will Fu Hua also become a Herrscher someday in the future?!"

"Rather than saying I'm a Herrscher..." Fu Hua was halfway through her words when the Herrscher of Knowledge waved his hand and interrupted her without hesitation: "That's right! That's it! But don't worry, although I'm a Herrscher, I'm also sworn enemies of Honkai!"

Hahaha, the Herrscher of Knowledge laughed heartily: "So just rely on me! I can do anything!"

Theresa glanced at Fu Hua's helpless and troubled expression, then glanced at the uninhibited smile on the face of the Herrscher of Knowledge. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she decisively changed the subject: "Then...Aponia?"

"Hello, Miss Theresa." After hearing Theresa's question, an ethereal and beautiful voice sounded softly, "I am Aponia. We will do our best regarding Miss Kiana's matter."

After hearing this quiet and ascetic voice, Theresa and Kiana turned their heads and looked at a nun who was dressed in an inappropriate manner. They immediately looked strange.

"She is Aponia?" Theresa secretly leaned close to the Twilight Knight's ear and whispered to her quietly: "Why does she look so..."

"Don't underestimate her because of her appearance." The Twilight Knight also quietly leaned into Theresa's ear and whispered, "This guy's background is even more exaggerated than the Herrschers on the Hyperion."

"Even more exaggerated than the Herrscher?" Theresa opened her mouth slightly. "Is it that amazing?"

"She is one of the thirteen heroes of the previous civilization fifty thousand years ago, just like those people you probably don't know yet." The Twilight Knight pointed his lips in the direction of Alicia, Padufilis, Eden, and Ying, and whispered, "And Aponia is ranked third among them, and is also one of the eight people who faced the end in the last civilization era."

“……” Theresa closed her mouth and stopped talking.

"In short, with their help, Kiana's problem should be properly dealt with." Twilight Knight said, "However, after solving Xilin's problem, we also need your help with something."

"What's the matter?" Theresa asked.

"After solving Xilin's problem, I hope you can use the Second Herrscher's ability to leave a space beacon there when you return to your own world." The Twilight Knight glanced at the Herrscher of Firefire, whose expression froze when he mentioned the word space beacon. "This way, we can support you at any time."

Alternatively, you can meet Captain Li Shubai again and take further action against him.

Chapter 4: Honkai Will: This is the worst Herrscher I have ever led (k)

In the marble corridor, Kiana suppressed her inner throbbing and rapid breathing, and moved forward cautiously.

The sky was dim all around, and the scene in the distance was hazy like a mirage. On one side of the corridor were broken floor-to-ceiling windows, with neatly arranged pedestals in the gaps between them.

Apart from the floor-to-ceiling windows and marble floors, nothing could be seen on the other side of the corridor or on the ceiling. The grey light shone in this endless corridor, exuding a pale and dead color.

The restless air pulled at her silver hair that was tied into two pigtails. As Kiana walked forward, she uncontrollably glanced toward the empty space and couldn't help but clench her teeth lightly.

Due to the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, humans are creatures that easily subconsciously feel fear of heights.

Even though she had learned the truth about this alien space from the Herrscher of Consciousness before entering this corridor suspended in mid-air, when Kiana saw this empty void that made people imagine themselves falling, her instinct as a living being that was extremely wary of death would keep urging her to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Add to that the loneliness of not having anyone around.

The ominous thought that she would suddenly fall with every step forward, and the feeling of emptiness that there was no end in sight and no destination to find, would increase Kiana's mental burden exponentially.

And, that's not all.

——What Kiana is doing now is trying to open the lid that has been buried deep in her consciousness and has been tightly closed by herself all along.

"Phew...it's okay."

Kiana slapped her ugly face hard and let out a long breath: "I just need to bring out the guy who is hiding deep in my consciousness. The rest will be left to Herrscher of Consciousness and Aponia to help me."

Although she knew that even if that guy took advantage of her weakness and controlled her body, the Valkyries who were guarding her body would immediately control her, but when she thought that she might no longer be herself because she was occupied by another consciousness, Kiana couldn't help but feel an indescribable chill running down her spine.

That's just really annoying.

The only thing that frightened Kiana more than anything else was that she was no longer herself.

Therefore, she had to forget and seal away the memories of the past. This was also the reason why, for a long time, Kiana could not remember why Siegfried left her.
