The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

"Ms. Yaezakura?" Lost Rosemary asked, "Is this why you came to the depths of the back mountain tonight?"

"Otherwise, I would have nothing better to do than to run into the mountains at night." Li Shubai sighed and said helplessly, "Theresa is going to give Kiana special training in terms of Herrscher power and combat ability tonight. She can't leave for the moment, so she asked me, who came here once this morning, to take Yaezakura back to Saint Freya."

"Is that so?" Lost Rose pondered for a moment, "Excuse me, Rita, but where did Lady Theresa arrange for Miss Yaesakura to live?"

Good question! Li Shubai was stunned by the question. He frowned and thought for a moment, but his expression became more and more uglier.

Could Theresa have forgotten to arrange a new place for her to live? Although no matter how you look at it, this is not a mistake that a qualified manager should make, Li Shubai could not convince himself that Theresa was reliable enough to prepare a place for Yaezakura to live in Saint Freya in advance.

"Human, I must remind you." Xilin said lightly, "There are no extra beds or rooms in your dormitory."

Li Shubai thought about it and asked tentatively: "How about I contact Dean Theresa first?"

At the same time when Li Shubai was about to contact Theresa, inside St. Freya's College, in a brightly lit training ground.

"Isn't this tights... the same one I wore on the Hyperion?" Kiana, with her hands tied, struggled to twist her neck, and looked carefully at the thin white cloth that wrapped her whole body with her blue eyes filled with joy. "Although it fits me well, why don't I feel that this tights has any powerful power?"

Among the several Kiana Kaslanas in the Hyperion, except for the current her and the Herrscher of the Fire, the other Kiana [Sky Ranger] wears the third-generation Valkyrie armor called Domain Suit - White Silk most of the time.

Although according to Sky Ranger, when entering combat, the [Field Suit·White Silk] she was wearing would further transform into two different forms, [Sky Ranger] and [White Knight·Moonlight], depending on the nature of the power injected. But based on Kiana's current feelings, she did not feel such a strong power from the suit of armor she was wearing.

"Actually, I'm not particularly sure either." Facing Kiana's question, Theresa expressed her ignorance very frankly.

She looked through the information in the Destiny Armory, touched her chin, and said with some confusion: "Kiana on the Hyperion said that although the Sky Ranger's weapons were revealed only after she had deeply transformed Bai Lian according to the power of the Herrscher of the Void, the other set of weapons called [White Knight Moonlight] was the fourth-generation God-killing armor developed by my grandfather from the beginning... But I didn't see any similar description in the database."

And not only that, according to Theresa's knowledge, although each piece of armor distributed to the Valkyrie by Destiny will be customized in appearance and function according to the Valkyrie's requirements and abilities, the Domain Armor - White Training is not a completely specialized armor, but a general-purpose basic armor that many Valkyries will get when they reach rank B.

Let’s not talk about whether this set of armor has the function of transforming into [White Knight Moonlight]. Even if it has this function, the fourth-generation God-killing Armor is a unique piece that is difficult to replicate. It is impossible for every set of White Armor to be transformed into Moonlight... If this is the case, then what method did Otto use to ensure that the White Armor that Kiana got must be the one that can be transformed into Moonlight?

Could it be that the domain suit that Kiana was wearing, the White Silk, was actually custom-made for her by Bishop Otto? Theresa frowned, her face somewhat strange as she fell into deep thought.

Although she had prepared herself mentally from the beginning that the Far East Branch would be infiltrated like a sieve by Otto, if she had not entered Li Shubai's Hyperion and knew many things that she should not know now, even she would not have expected... This was not just infiltrated like a sieve, it was Otto's private territory from the beginning.

"Hmm... I don't really understand." Kiana tilted her head, and after thinking for a moment, she decided to give up looking for the answer to this question. "Anyway, anything that can make me stronger must be a good thing!"

Theresa shook her head, cleared away the unnecessary thoughts and unwillingness, and looked at Kiana deeply: "You are right, no matter what the source is, as long as it can make you stronger, it is a good thing."

That's right, if they were in their current state, even if they received Otto's gift according to his plan, they would definitely not follow the path that Otto had planned. Therefore, as long as Kiana could grow further, even with the help of Otto's power, it would not be a big deal.

Just as Theresa was about to start Kiana's special training, her communication terminal suddenly started beeping.

Chapter 4: A mecha that can beat a Herrscher should have no problem beating a Bishop (k)

On the starless night, the cold wind made a shrill whistle, and the round lights mounted on the iron fence flickered with the faint sound of electric current.

The chirping of insects in the garden sounded somewhat restless and rose and fell. Except for the training room where Theresa and Kiana were, there was no one in the entire St. Freya Academy.

Silence and darkness, illuminated by the flickering street lights, silently swallowed up the academy in the middle of the night.

Behind the teaching building, two dark figures, one tall and one short, raised their heads silently and looked calmly at the central church located on the westernmost side of St. Freya's College.

Although after a long period of development, the modern Mandate of Heaven no longer has the strong religious color as in the Middle Ages, Theresa was given the surname Apocalis, which represents "bishop", and did not completely sever the grandfather-grandson relationship with Otto.

Because of this, even after she had semi-separated from her destiny and established St. Freya's College as the Far East branch, Theresa was still accustomed to wearing the nun's uniform that was sewn for her by Bishop Otto himself, and fulfilled her responsibilities as the head of the Apokalis family.

It is also for this reason that, even though there are not many religious believers among the students, St. Freya's College still has a small church.

Although this church is not particularly majestic, in the dark night, the House of God, backed by the lake, looks like a giant beast lurking deep in a cave, silently oppressing the arrival of visitors.

Two dark figures, one tall and one short, stood in front of the church gate. After silently observing the church for a moment, they looked at each other and nodded.

The two of them worked together to push open the unlocked church door, passed through the gap between the two rows of pews, and walked to the back of the altar without any hesitation.

Behind the altar, in the angle between the walls, there is a narrow gap.

The dark shadow turned on the flashlight and shone it into the pitch-black gap.

"Our destination is right below here." When the relatively taller black figure saw the stone steps in the gap, he spoke in a voice as majestic as a female general, "It seems that Theresa hasn't discovered us yet."

The shadow's voice echoed softly in the empty chapel.

The two of them walked up the stairs one after the other and headed deep into the underground of the church.

"Don't let your guard down, Ms. Cocolia." Another short black shadow said calmly in a calm tone, "Shortly after we entered St. Freya's College, the 'leader' who was originally scheduled to capture the third Herrscher in the dormitory area at the exact time we entered the top-secret area of ​​St. Freya's College has not responded at all."

"We already knew from the beginning that the defective product would fail. Don't be so nervous, Dr. Einstein." Cocolia smiled. "Since he has lost contact, it means that Theresa has also been successfully transferred away by us. Apart from her, who is an S-class Valkyrie, is there anyone else in this academy who can prevent the 'Alliance Master' from even sending out a distress signal?"

“…”That may not be the case, Einstein said quietly in his heart.

Because Raiden Ryoma has always maintained contact with Raiden Mei, Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla, who are anti-entropy conservatives, know that because of Yulandel and Rita, the defense power of St. Freya's College is undoubtedly second to none in the world.

Although Einstein had no intention of being hostile to Theresa, she chose to follow Cocolia's wishes and act with her because she needed to build a bridge of communication with Theresa.

But honestly speaking, if she hadn't known that the real leader of Anti-Entropy was also in St. Freya's College, Einstein would never have taken such an unbearable risk.

"Anyway, even if Theresa has noticed something wrong, what we need to find is already within sight."

At the end of the stone steps was an extremely wide space, with glowing metal patterns all around, and a majestic iron gate standing tall in front of Einstein and Cocolia. It was hard to imagine that there was such a large underground building under St. Freya's College, because the teaching area of ​​St. Freya was not built on flat ground, but on a high ground surrounded by lakes.

Judging from the scale of this underground building, it would be more accurate to say that St. Freya's College was built on the roof of this complex of buildings rather than saying that a space was dug out beneath the ground of St. Freya's College.

"Thank you for your help, Dr. Einstein." Looking at the indestructible iron gate in front of her, Cocolia said seriously.

Einstein nodded silently. She took out a round mechanical device from the belt around her waist, and then tapped lightly a few times on the virtual keyboard projected by it. The huge iron door opened automatically without much hindrance.

But when the thick iron door opened, Cocolia and Einstein, who were just about to enter the laboratory,

"Yo, two anti-entropy executors."

——They had a face-to-face encounter with the Archbishop of Destiny, who, in their opinion, should not be here.

"Welcome to the underground laboratory of the Far East Branch of the Destiny." The blond man sitting in front of the hangar turned his back to Cocolia and Einstein, whose faces were frozen at the same time. He laughed leisurely and turned the universal chair under him. He looked at the two uninvited guests with smiling green eyes: "Huh? What's with that expression? From the perspective of a visitor, shouldn't you be happier when you see the host?"

"...Bishop Otto." Cocolia stared at the handsome man in front of her. She racked her brains and used all her thinking circuits to analyze the current situation. Among these possibilities, she also included the option of doubting whether her brain was normal.

"Ah, I never thought that I would be caught so easily by the Archbishop of Destiny." However, the sigh from the side broke Cocolia's remaining fantasy. Since Einstein also understood the current situation, it means that everything in front of him is not an illusion that only he can see. "Sure enough, we Anti-Entropy still underestimated the intelligence network of Destiny Headquarters?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me, dear Dr. Einstein." Otto smiled and crossed the five fingers of his two palms in front of him. "I didn't expect that Anti-Entropy would suddenly invade the Far East Branch at this time. As for why I happened to be sitting here at this time."

He paused and shook his head helplessly: "I can only say that this is a wonderful coincidence and accident."

Of course, Einstein and Cocolia could not believe Otto's words which sounded somewhat helpless.

But the truth is... Otto really didn't lie. He really didn't expect that the people of Anti-Entropy would be so bold as to suddenly invade when Yulandel and Rita were both in Saint Freya. And the reason why he stayed here... had nothing to do with Anti-Entropy's invasion.

Last night, after being slapped away by Theresa with the Oath of Judas, what Otto has been thinking about is not how to use force against Yulandel, Rita and Theresa, but on the contrary, how to repair the relationship between himself and them.

Although it sounds like it may undermine the dignity of the archbishop, compared to Kallen's affairs, Otto doesn't care about the so-called majesty of the archbishop at all.

And last night, when Otto saw Yulandel, Kiana, and Xilin, who he still couldn't understand why was there, in the three dormitories in the west area, and the moment these three people were living in peace, he could clearly realize that the Xilin plan he had originally formulated had completely failed.

...No, it seems a bit wrong to describe it as bankruptcy. Rather than saying it was bankrupt, it would be better to say that it was inexplicably over-fulfilled, because the original ultimate goal of the Sirin Project was to allow the Herrscher to possess a human heart so that Otto could accomplish what he wanted to do.

As for Xilin, who got along well with Kiana and Yulandel... Otto could see at a glance that although there was not much kindness in her seemingly cold golden eyes, she had long lost her resentment and desire to abuse humans.

In addition, for unknown reasons, Yulandel inexplicably learned her true identity.

The matter of Lost Rosemary, the matter of Xilin, the matter of Yulandel... Although uncontrollable accidents occurred one after another in just a few days, Otto did not have the murderous intent like he did twelve years ago towards Siegfried for these things that were completely beyond his control. Instead, he felt joy and excitement from the bottom of his heart.

Unlike Siegfried's pure violence, in Otto's view, almost every one of the things that are happening now that are beyond his control has a positive impact on his ultimate goal in different senses.

The sudden visit of Lost Rosemary proves that the soul can be directly controlled and interfered with.

Yulandel recovered her memory and fully awakened the stigmata of Kaslana in her body, proving that he could use the stigmata of Yulandel to explore the coordinates left by Kallen Kaslana in this world.

The fact that Sirin is no longer subject to Honkai shows that she can communicate, and there is a possibility that her power can be used by herself.

Although the possibility can be said to be extremely small, compared with the so-called "resurrection" that was so far away that even an accurate goal and plan had not been fully determined, this only possibility, in Otto's eyes, can be said to be extremely huge.

Therefore, Otto, who decided to do everything he could to improve his relationship with Theresa, did not choose to leave Saint Freya at the first time.

But after Otto made up his mind, he found somewhat helplessly that... he seemed unable to find a place to live.

Moreover, he had to find a way to restore his soul steel body that was broken by Judas, so Otto had to hold his nose and run to this secret area under the church, intending to live here temporarily and use the facilities here to repair his body.

Not only that, because the Sirin Project was abandoned, Otto, who could not further offend Theresa, had to try his best to cover up the things hidden in the experimental cabin in this confidential area.

Theresa is the only bridge of communication between Otto and Xilin, Yulandel and the others. If Theresa also completely turns to Yulandel and further escalates the already extremely difficult communication difficulty... then Otto's heart will really bleed.

As a result, just when Otto was trying hard to tidy up this underground area... Cocolia and Einstein suddenly broke in.

Otto was immediately happy. He had been racking his brains over how to get along well with Theresa and the others, and now, here came the opportunity.

So he straightened his face, which had become extremely messy due to his efforts to tidy up the experimental cabin, and turned his back to the door with an unfathomable attitude, waiting patiently for the two to arrive. Cocolia and Einstein did not disappoint Otto, and they opened the closed door without much precautions, not expecting that they would be caught in the act.

"Well, although our meeting here is just a wonderful accident." Under the somewhat chilling gazes of Cocolia and Einstein, Otto smiled like a fox, "But I think that since you have chosen to invade the confidential area of ​​the Sky Mandate Headquarters, the two ladies should be prepared to pay the corresponding price."

Although it was just a coincidence that he met Cocolia and Einstein here, Otto obviously did not intend to miss the opportunity to take advantage of this coincidence.

After understanding Otto's intention, Einstein sighed again: "Ms. Cocolia, if you have any cards left, please show them quickly. Bishop Otto looks so happy, it seems that he has no intention of letting us go."

Cocolia swallowed quietly, and after hearing Einstein's words, her already ugly face became even darker.

But it was just as Einstein said. Now they had completely lost their way out, so Cocolia had no choice but to bite the bullet and give an order to the void behind her: "Titan Mecha A2304, shift the observation system, and release the quantized state!"

"..." This woman is going to use Titan to fight Bishop Otto? Einstein was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Leader, if you don't come out to save the situation, I'll probably have to die here.

Chapter 4: Kiana, I'm sorry! (k)

"No, I can't contact Theresa." Listening to the prompt tone coming from the communicator, Li Shubai said helplessly, "What the hell is going on... Why is there no signal all of a sudden?"

From the beginning, he had been trying to contact Theresa with his communication terminal. But for some reason, although this place should still be within the coverage of Saint Freya's signal, Li Shubai was completely unable to contact Theresa through the wireless communication system of his personal terminal.

Could it be that the internal system of St. Freya was hacked again? Li Shubai thought, could it be time for the Anti-Entropy Invasion? Was the communication system of St. Freya College hacked by Dr. Tesla? Now it was indeed the night after the South China Sea mission was completed, and Kiana was indeed taken to the training room of St. Freya College by Theresa for in-depth special training. Both the time and the events could be matched.

But in the current situation, what right did the people of Anti-Entropy have to invade St. Freya's Academy? Raiden Mei was guarded by Yulandel and Rita, and Kiana had also initially controlled the power of the power of the sky. Wouldn't it be courting death to come and cause trouble for St. Freya at this time? Li Shubai thought in confusion.

But now that he was already here, he couldn't just leave Yaezakura here alone. Li Shubai pondered for a moment and chose to ask Xilin for help: "That..."

"No! Don't come to me! Don't even think about it!" Xilin decisively interrupted Li Shubai's words.

"I haven't said anything yet!" Li Shubai was stunned.

"Do you think I can't see through your little tricks?" Xilin sneered, "Human, you underestimate me a little bit."

"..." Li Shubai was speechless and scratched his head awkwardly.

"But if you really want me to help you, it's not impossible." Suddenly, Xilin changed her tone, a calm expression appeared on her face, and her golden pupils were full of condescension. "It's just that if you want to get something, you have to pay for it... This is such a simple and easy-to-understand truth, I think you should understand it, right?"

Lost Rosemary's eyes twitched, and she subconsciously stopped him: "Wait..."

"Then what do you want?" Li Shubai asked helplessly. He glanced at the dark-faced Lost Rosemary and thought that with other people present, Xilin would not make any outrageous demands, right?

"I should have just said, human, that your dormitory has no extra beds or rooms." Xilin said happily, "So, if you want to let that witch move in, it will inevitably turn into the same situation as last night."

Yes, that's right. Li Shubai nodded, agreeing with Xilin's statement: "So, what does this have to do with the conditions you want to propose to me? You might as well make your words clearer."

"You need to understand your position clearly, human." Xilin said, "As a servant, you must be able to accept the master's needs at any time and place, and of course... the only one who can live in your room should be your master, that is, me."

Li Shubai understood: "So you want to live with me?"

"Who wants to--!" Xilin almost instinctively wanted to scold and refute Li Shubai's question which was so straightforward that it couldn't be more straightforward, but before she could say anything, she braked abruptly.

She lowered her head, her silver hair soaked in the night swaying slightly with her owner's movements. Her clear and pleasant voice, with a slightly trembling tone of suppressed pride and shame, asserted: "Yes... yes! I just want to live with you! What's wrong?! Is that not possible?"

It’s over. Lost Rosemary pressed her eyebrows and felt a little headache.

It was at this moment that she finally realized that she had underestimated Xilin.

Although her judgment of Xilin was not wrong, even now, Xilin, who frankly expressed her desires, did not really realize what her feelings for Li Shubai were.

But even so, driven by possessiveness and attachment, Xilin, who was worried that Li Shubai would be snatched away by someone else, was able to burst out with emotions and desires that made everyone feel threatened.

Even Lost Rose herself could feel that Xilin had abandoned her previous arrogance and chose to be very frank and honest about her true feelings. She was so cute that even she couldn't help but feel a little moved. What choice would Li Shubai make when facing such a Xilin...

Even if she used naizi to think, Lost Rosemary could easily come up with the answer.

Lady Yulandel had already suffered for this once, but she didn't expect that after just one day, she would end up like Lady Yulandel and could only watch Xilin take a further step... Lost Rosemary thought helplessly.

The key point is that the situation encountered by Lost Rosemary is different from that of Yulandel.

Xilin didn't even have the position to protest against Li Shubai's request.

Originally, the reason why she could appear here with Xilin was because she relied on Xilin's power, and the reason why Xilin made a request to Li Shubai was also because Li Shubai had something to ask of Xilin.

Therefore, neither emotionally nor logically, Lost Rosemary did not stop Xilin's position.

And just as Lost Rose had expected, after hearing Xilin's straightforward declaration unexpectedly, Li Shubai couldn't help but reveal a somewhat helpless expression.
