The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Fu Hua.

In addition to these front-line fighters who originally belonged to the Far East Branch and Anti-Entropy, even Rita came with several Valkyries from the Undying Blade Team to provide support.

Although she already had a rough idea of ​​the enemy's intelligence when she received the request for reinforcements, when Fu Hua saw Alicia for the first time, her brows suddenly frowned.

An indescribable tingling and feeling of emptiness suddenly hit her heart, so much so that she didn't even notice the existence of the Herrscher of Consciousness at first.

Although, a considerable part of past memories has been used as fuel by Fu Hua, and in various helpless situations, it has become pure power and is consumed like a tool.

But even so, the memory that has disappeared has left an indelible mark on her.

...This person, this pink-haired woman, who is she...?

It wasn't someone he didn't know. Fu Hua was sure of that in an instant.

Although her appearance was dazzling and her personality was a little difficult for her to deal with...but, she knew that this fairy lady with pink hair was a very respectable and reliable companion.

"You are..." Standing on the surface of the drone, Fu Hua panted heavily and whispered the name that came to her from the depths of her consciousness: "Ai...Aili...Xia?"

“Hi! My dear Hua!” Although she was flying at high speed on the broadsword controlled by the Herrscher of Knowledge, Alicia still understood what Fu Hua was saying through her lips. The fairy lady smiled brightly, raised her arm and waved it, and put her other hand to her mouth, shouting as if she was broadcasting: “Although it’s a bit sudden, but for the sake of our previous friendship, can you let us go first?”

The sweet voice that spread out like a silver bell startled everyone who was surrounding the three flying sword invaders.

Even Yulandel, who was wrestling with another self, was stunned for a moment, while the other "Yulandel" did not miss the fleeting gap revealed by "herself". She quickly condensed her two huge phantoms and let them rush towards Yulandel. She turned around and controlled the flight module of the Bright Knight Yuepo to evacuate at full speed and merge in the direction of her companions.

"Wait!" After realizing that her attention had been diverted by the pink-haired fairy lady, Yulandel shouted subconsciously. She smashed two huge self-propelled phantoms one by one with one punch, and then chased after the other one with all her might.

Let’s not talk about the two Yulandel chasing each other in the air. After hearing the conversation between Fu Hua and Alicia, Theresa, who also relied on the power of the drone to fly in the air, opened her mouth slightly and said, “Fu Hua… do you know her?”

"From the way this woman addressed the squad leader, she should be one of the fusion warriors from the last civilization era 50,000 years ago, just like the squad leader?" Bronya raised her hand calmly with an expressionless face, and silently constructed dozens of precision cannon barrels in the air. Her tone was steady and calm, "But... even so, Bronya still suggests... not letting them leave for the time being."

“Huh? Just the few of you? I haven’t seen you for a while. You haven’t grown much physically, but your confidence has grown stronger and stronger.” A frantic smile appeared on the face of the Herrscher of Knowledge. “And Alicia, why did you ask the old antique for help? It’s not like we can’t beat them!”

"Well, after all, I really don't want to fight with Hua." Alicia smiled, "But looking at this situation, it seems that there is no way to end it simply. Let's make a quick decision."

After saying this, Alicia raised the handle of her gorgeous bow high in the air and shot an energy arrow into the empty air.

The crystal-like film quickly blossomed like a blooming crystal flower, and completely enveloped the nine drones and the turrets built by Bronya.

The next second, several tiny and sharp rays of light flashed across the flawless and gorgeous dome, and the nine drones and the artillery constructed by Bronya were instantly shattered into pieces.

Bronya frowned slightly when she saw this scene, but then immediately relaxed.

The moment before realizing that the drone would be split, most people reacted and kicked out their legs hard, hovering in the air for a short time, buying themselves precious time.

Bronya, who had become able to fly freely after becoming a Herrscher, did not miss this opportunity. After completing the construction of her own Herrscher weapon, she quickly turned her body in mid-air, and then built micro-aircraft for Theresa and Rita who had no flying ability so that they could fly at high altitudes.

After doing all this, she switched her heavily-armored bunny into riding mode, constructed an imaginary path below, and without a word, galloped in the direction of the only male among the invaders.

In the brief confrontation, Bronya could see that whether it was the Herrscher of Knowledge, the woman who looked like Yulandel, or the pink-haired fairy that Fu Hua called Alicia, the power they possessed was not something she could quickly eliminate.

Therefore, if you want to keep them, the fastest and safest way is of course to capture the man who has not displayed any special powers so far as quickly as possible.

Wait, even though she made this judgment, Bronya, who was speeding, suddenly recalled something very strange.

The light shield just now... the thing that looks very similar to the shield of the Star of Eden, whose ability is it?

Before she could fully understand the problem, a huge amount of pressure suddenly came upon her. Under the influence of the strong gravity, the suspended runway built by Bronya under the speeding motorcycle quickly cracked.

Even for a Herrscher, it is difficult to fly freely under the influence of high gravity.

"…Star of Eden!!" After realizing that the opponent's ability was gravity, Bronya quickly constructed the Star of Eden and used her gravity control ability to reverse the gravity suppression from the opponent. She raised her head and looked solemnly at the red and black double guns in the hands of the male invader.

She really didn't expect... to be able to see the true form of the Star of Eden and its user here.

At this moment, the sound of fists colliding suddenly rang out. It was the Herrscher of Consciousness who rushed in front of Fu Hua and started a close combat with an extremely fast rhythm.

“With your current physical condition, do you have the nerve to fight me head-on?” After a few rounds, the Herrscher of Knowledge showed an expression of great disgust on her face. She grabbed Fu Hua’s wrist at an extremely fast speed, then turned around and threw her towards the Hyperion docked on the northern coast: “Go back!!”

"Hmm..." The irresistible force caused Fu Hua to fly backwards and utter an unnatural sound of distress. However, she still stretched out her arms towards the Herrscher of Consciousness and Alicia unwillingly: "Wait... wait a minute, don't leave yet, I have something to say to you..."

"Squad leader! Are you okay?" Before Fu Hua could finish her words, her body that was flying backwards was caught by Kiana who appeared in mid-air in an instant. She had already finished dressing as a Herrscher and quickly checked Fu Hua's safety. After seeing that Fu Hua was not seriously injured, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "That's great... I was really scared when I saw the Herrscher of Knowledge, I thought you..."

The words stopped abruptly, and after noticing the chaos in the air, Kiana couldn't help but reveal a dumbfounded expression. After seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge, she was too worried about Fu Hua's safety to notice the existence of "another Yulandel". She anxiously slashed out two swords in succession with the power of fire. Until now, after taking a breath, Kiana finally regrouped and joined the battle again, and...

...Not surprisingly, I was stunned by the chaotic scene before my eyes.

Two Yulandel, two Fu Hua... Although one of them is the Herrscher of Knowledge, as far as Kiana knows, the original body of the Herrscher of Knowledge should be Fu Hua! Otherwise, she would not be so worried about Fu Hua's safety when she saw the Herrscher of Knowledge.

What on earth was going on? In the midst of the shock, Kiana's eyes suddenly became gloomy. Bronya seemed to have been unable to keep up with them, and Yulandel was chasing after another person who looked like her, Fu Hua... She lowered her head and looked at Fu Hua's expression, who seemed a little lost for some reason.

Although Kiana knew that Fu Hua was by no means such a weak person, and that if she asked her for help, she would definitely suppress her emotions and fight with her, but at the same time, Kiana could also see that... with Fu Hua's current physical condition, it would be difficult for her to have much impact in a battle at the level of Herrscher... or even above.

"Captain, you go back first." After making the decision, Kiana said softly, "I will catch them and bring the four of them back."

"???" After hearing Kiana's words, Fu Hua was stunned for a moment, but before she could take the next step, Kiana suddenly teleported her back to the Hyperion.

She stared blankly at the interior of the Hyperion, sighed dejectedly, and covered her forehead.

Although Fu Hua no longer thought that the invaders were their enemies when she saw Alicia, she still did not think that Kiana and Yulandel were each other's opponents.

I hope the two of them...will not be hit too hard. Deep down in her heart, Fu Hua sighed helplessly.

Chapter 4: Kiana, the Decline of the Dignity (k)

In fact, for Li Shubai and his three companions, their appearance on the Hyperion in the autumn of 2017, shortly after defeating Otto, although not completely unexpected, was indeed a helpless move.

After reading the short story in the military intelligence room, Li Shubai and the other three did not set out immediately. Instead, they held a not-too-short tactical meeting before starting the time jump.

First of all, before interfering with the future, Li Shubai must determine his goals.

Needless to say, the recovery of Alicia and the purge of the Herrscher of Corrosion were of great importance, but after seeing everything that was going to happen, Li Shubai made a rather bold decision.

"You said you wanted to take all the memories in the Paradise of the Past..." Even Alicia was stunned after hearing Li Shubai's decision: "Let all the Thirteen Heroes... revive in that 'future'?"

"Yes, you heard it right." Li Shubai, who knew that this decision was indeed a bit arrogant, scratched his head awkwardly. "I also know that this decision may be a bit arrogant and a bit too greedy... But... after seeing what will happen in the future, what I want to do is not just to save another 'you', but... to keep all of them."

"..."

"..."

"..."

After Li Shubai once again confirmed his decision, not only Alicia, but even Yulandel and the Herrscher of Knowledge fell into a brief silence.

"Want to reverse all the tragedies?" The Herrscher of Consciousness was the first to break the silence. She chewed over Li Shubai's words carefully, and the smile on her face gradually became exaggerated. "Hahaha! It really has some of my style! As the captain of this immortal, of course you have to be such a lustful person!"

"..." Alicia was silent for a moment, and spread her hands helplessly, "Although this idea is indeed a very exaggerated concept, but hearing this decision from the captain's mouth, it doesn't seem to be something unexpected."

"So, what are you going to do?" Yulandel asked the most important question directly. "Since you said this, it should be said that no matter how exaggerated the decision is, it is possible to realize it."

"Yeah." Li Shubai nodded, "Specifically how to do it... I do have an idea."

Under the gaze of the three people, he stretched out his arm and spread out his five fingers.

"Yu Duchen?" The Herrscher of Knowledge glanced at the thing in Li Shubai's hand and asked curiously, "What are you doing with it?"

"... Let me ask a question, Xiaozhi." After hearing the words of the Herrscher of Knowledge, Li Shubai did not answer her question immediately, but asked another question: "If I remember correctly, the eighth divine key - Yu Duchen's zeroth rated power is to bind a person's consciousness and the 'feather' together... to another person, right?"

In a possible future, in the main storyline that Li Shubai had read, the holder of Yu Duchen, Fu Hua, bound her consciousness to Kiana through such means.

"Hmm? Yu Duchen's zero rated power? That's right... Wait a minute." The Herrscher of Consciousness blinked. She thought for half a second, then nodded, confirming Li Shubai's words. Suddenly, she widened her eyes as if she realized something: "Are you trying to use Yu Duchen's ability to bring the memories of the Thirteen Heroes in the Paradise of the Past back to the real world?"

"Yes." Li Shubai nodded. "If it is Yu Duchen's zero rated power...binding the memory of the paradise of the past to the 'feather' and then bringing them out should not be an impossible problem."

After hearing Li Shubai's inference, Alicia and Yulandel looked at each other and began to think about the feasibility of this approach. But at this moment, the Herrscher of Consciousness, who was in charge of consciousness, poured a basin of cold water on them mercilessly.

“Although it sounds like a highly feasible method, Captain, you must have forgotten one thing.” The Herrscher of Knowledge sighed and spread his hands helplessly. “The essence of the Paradise of the Past… is just a space composed of data, and neither my power nor Yu Duchen… can have any effect on the data.”

After thinking for a while, the Herrscher of Knowledge added: "Of course, physical abilities are an exception."

"But even if it is a data space, shouldn't the data space of the Paradise of the Past be composed of thirteen flowing consciousnesses?" Li Shubai frowned. "Of course I know that the so-called memory and consciousness are not the same thing, but since the people in the pre-civilization era can replicate the memories and personalities of the thirteen heroes through an experiment called SO-1129, and preserve them in the form of data, and even interfere with the real world within a certain range, it means... as long as we extract their memories and personalities from the data, and prepare a blank consciousness as a container... and then imprint their memories and personalities into the container——"

As he spoke, under the gazes of the Herrscher of Consciousness, Alicia, and Yulandel, the feather in Li Shubai's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

After a moment of flash, thirteen crystal clear feathers emitting pure white light quietly floated in the air above Li Shubai's hand.

After doing all this, Li Shubai calmly said the second half of the sentence:

"——I can make the data of the Thirteen Heroes in the Paradise of the Past resurrect in the form of conscious entities in the real world."

Looking at the thirteen feathers in Li Shubai's hand, the Herrscher of Consciousness touched his chin, clapped his palms, and nodded quickly: "It is indeed a good idea, although Yu Duchen's clone is not a real consciousness. But similarly, the memory in the paradise of the past was not originally the Thirteen Heroes. If this is done, it seems that it is not impossible to revive these memories that are essentially just data in the real world."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's act now!" After confirming the feasibility of the plan, the Herrscher of Knowledge grabbed Li Shubai's wrist and said impatiently: "I want to smash the Herrscher of Corrosion's face! Now! Right now!"

"Wait, wait, don't be impatient." Li Shubai raised a finger and waved it in front of his eyes. "Do you think I don't want to destroy the Herrscher of Corrosion? I'm more anxious than you! But the problem is, things are not that simple."

“Huh? Any other questions?” The Herrscher of Knowledge widened his eyes. “Are you afraid of the Herrscher of Corrosion? The disabled Herrscher who can’t even corrode Raiden Mei?”

"Who said I'm afraid of the Herrscher of Corrosion?" Li Shubai sneered, and took out a red and black ancient sword. "It's just the power of corrosion. I have it. Compared with my Jizo Soul, its newly born power of corrosion is nothing compared to it."

"Then why are you still hesitating?" The Herrscher of Knowledge asked in confusion, "Even if there are any problems, can't we just find a way to solve them when we get to that world?"

"You think too simply." Li Shubai took back the Ksitigarbha spirit and shook his head helplessly. "As you can see, whether it is the Herrscher of Corrosion itself... or allowing the data of the Thirteen Heroes to revive in the real world in the form of consciousness, it is not a problem that is too difficult to solve... The real thorny problem is after solving the Herrscher of Corrosion."

"What can be done to solve the Ruler of Corrosion..." Halfway through his words, the Ruler of Consciousness suddenly fell silent.

Alicia and Yulandel looked at each other and saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.

"It seems you all have thought of it." Li Shubai said, "For us, the real problem from the beginning was not to solve the Herrscher of Corrosion, but... the 'End' that followed!"

Since... the so-called Thirteenth Herrscher was originally just a lie, then, after the Herrscher of Corrosion, the final test is already imminent for that world.

"So, what we need to do is not just to kill the Herrscher of Corrosion, but..." Li Shubai pointed to the light screen suspended in the military intelligence room, "...to complete what we want to do while trying not to affect the 'original script'."

For Li Shubai, the obstacle to overcoming the end is not just "strength" but "intelligence".

In other words, as the captain of the Hyperion, it was a very easy thing to survive and escape from the hands of "The End".

Therefore, although neither the problem of the Ruler of Erosion nor the problem of the Thirteen Heroes were difficult for him, but... he still could not do whatever he wanted in the most brutal way.

Although it was a somewhat frustrating situation, for some reason, the corners of Li Shubai's mouth gently curved into a hint of joy.

As if she understood what Li Shubai was thinking, Alicia's eyebrows jumped, and she said in a mysterious tone: "Captain... you are not going to take revenge on Mei... and the future 'me', are you?"

"How could that be?" Li Shubai shook his head. "Don't slander me, Alicia. You, Meiyi and I have no grudges against each other in the past or in the present... There's no need to take revenge on her."

The corners of Yulandel's mouth twitched, and she put on an expression of exhaustion, and said speechlessly: "Before I say this, Captain... you should put away that evil smile on your face."

"Hmm? Is it that obvious?" Li Shubai touched the corners of his mouth that couldn't stop rising, and spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, I admit that I was hurt by the story between them and it did make me a little emotional. Just regard this as my personal bad taste, and I won't stop you."

After all, although it is a bit uncomfortable to look at a knife, but... watching someone being stabbed is still a lot of fun.

Maybe this is the fun of being a screenwriter? Li Shubai touched his chin, as if he had an inexplicable empathy with some people who like hair knives.

I hope that after everything is over, Mei Raiden in that world won’t get so angry that she kills me with a knife.

However, before that——

Main storyline world.

2017年10月23日，上午9：34分。

Li Shubai, Herrscher of Consciousness and Alicia, who were flying with the broadsword controlled by the Herrscher of Consciousness, and Yulandel, who turned into a comet in the air using the flight module of the Brilliant Knight Yuepo, quickly joined together on the same line after breaking through the encirclement of the Destiny UAVs.

Li Shubai turned his head quickly. He first glanced at Yulandel quickly, and after confirming that his Valkyrie was not hurt, he cast his gaze far behind him.

"You in this world seem to be about to give up the pursuit." He smiled, "I just wonder if Kiana will be the same as we expected?"

"Why bother asking this question?" Yulandel shook her head helplessly. "Although we do need to rely on Kiana's power, but... I still feel that using this method to force her is a bit too much..."

"Hmph, there's nothing to be sad about." The Herrscher of Knowledge curled his lips. "Since we have already made plans to fight the enemy, we must be mentally prepared for failure. Isn't this a matter of course?"

"I think what Xiaozhi said is right." Li Shubai smiled, "Look, isn't she coming over now?"

As soon as the words fell, the flying speed of the four people suddenly slowed down. At the moment their speed returned to zero, a space crack appeared in the void in front of them without any warning.

Kiana, who had completed her Herrscher attire, and Yulandel of this world quickly flew out from the dark crack with nimble and neat movements.

Kiana, who appeared in front of the four people using the space rift with Youlandel, glanced at the Herrscher of Knowledge and Alicia at an extremely fast speed. She waved the King Sword of Fire in her hand, and her tone was full of calmness and composure: "Sorry, Herrscher of Knowledge... and this——"

Kiana's calm words suddenly froze for a moment when she saw Alicia: "-Anyway, the squad leader really wants to see you. Although I don't know who you are, since you invaded the Hyperion, I can't just let you go... So, I'm sorry!"

Although the four people in front of her were obviously difficult to deal with, Kiana, who had just teamed up with Yulandel to defeat the false god Otto, did not think that she and Yulandel would lose to the other side.

Just when she was confidently thinking of joining forces with Yulandel to take down the four invaders, a leisurely and contented command suddenly floated into her ears.

After hearing that command, Kiana's calm and confident expression froze instantly.

"The Oath of Judah—" Li Shubai smiled and stretched out his palm to Kiana, "—unfold."
