K424 of the Collapse World

(Has it finally caught the attention of others? What happened to today's destiny? Are all the Valkyries on duty off?... But it doesn't matter, let's put an end to this farce as soon as possible...)

"watch out!"

"...Eh?"

With a cry, the sound of breaking wind from behind made Shirley subconsciously turn her body to the side. The long-pole weapon drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground, with gravel flying up...

Well, it seems she is not here to break up the fight.

The Valkyrie holding the long-pole weapon missed her target and immediately retreated to regroup. Shiris glanced at the figure from the corner of her eye. Although she only saw the lower body, she still saw it clearly. Like the blonde, the new Valkyrie wore a loose pure white suspender skirt and low-heeled sandals of the same color. The next moment, when she saw the weapon in the woman's hand, Shiris burst into laughter.

"Are you really the regular Valkyries of the Destiny Organization?"

The weapon in that woman's hand was actually a metal candlestick from a church?

Focusing her attention on the blonde woman in front of her, Shilis was really confused about the two Valkyries who attacked her one after the other. They had no Valkyrie uniforms, no armor, and no weapons. Valkyries on guard were naturally not allowed to wear such home clothes. If these two people were not adults, Shilis would have doubted whether they were naughty children who had just undergone Valkyrie transformation...

(And...what on earth is going on? This subtle sense of familiarity, these two inexplicable women, could they be someone I knew before?)

——Whoosh!

Without giving Shirley much time to think, the Valkyrie behind her suddenly rushed forward, holding a long candlestick and smashing it down at Shirley head-on like swinging a war hammer. The girl moved her feet slightly, turned sideways and flashed past the woman.

When the two of them passed by each other, the woman's long hair brushed against Shirley's cheek. At this moment, the girl seemed to see a silver-white...

(Long silver hair...?!)

Suddenly, a strange thought flashed through her mind. Just as Shiris was about to confirm something, the blonde woman's attack came again. This time, Shiris no longer avoided the attack, but let the woman's fist hit her body. In the other party's astonished eyes, she instantly reached out and strangled her throat!

"Well......!"

"Miss Rhianna!"

Seeing her partner being subdued, the woman holding the candlestick suddenly panicked and hesitated to move the metal candlestick. Her cautious look saved Shirley a lot of trouble.

"Don't move! If you don't want me to break your neck... and you too, if you don't want to see your friends die before your eyes, then put down your weapons..."

Shirley declared so, but her voice stopped abruptly when she saw the other woman's face.

"You...how is it possible?!"

As a clone of Kiana, Shiris also inherited the memories of that girl. Although this part of Kiana's memory was sealed by her, it is always entangled with the memories of the Babylon Laboratory and emerges in her dreams...

How many times has the silver-haired, blue-eyed woman in front of me appeared in my dreams?

"How is it possible...Cecilia...?!"

Shirley muttered, and even loosened her grip on the blonde woman. The woman coughed and fell to the ground, looking up at Shirley who was in a daze, as if she was hesitating whether to take the opportunity to attack.

Although her instinct as a Valkyrie told her that she could just annihilate the Honkai creatures by any means necessary, she hesitated when she saw the defenseless silver-haired girl standing there in front of her.

I have to say, this silver-haired girl looks so much like my partner...

"Eh? How...how do you know me?"

The silver-haired woman was slightly startled, and held up the candlestick in her hand in a panic. She looked back at Shirley with vigilance and curiosity, seemingly a little confused about the situation.

"I......"

The memory of Kiana suddenly emerged, and Shirley was temporarily confused. Facing the "Cecilia" in front of her, she suppressed the messy thoughts in her mind, sorted out her thoughts, and finally remembered a reasonable one.

explanation of.

"The Herrscher of Death's experiment?!"

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized something. Looking at the bewildered silver-haired woman not far away, she couldn't help but bite her lips.

"So to say......"

"Ms. Shilis, are you satisfied with the "gift" I prepared for you?"

Suddenly, as a voice that she hated sounded from the other side, Shirley turned around and saw the smiling blond man.

"Otto Apokalis...!"

431 Otto's Plan

The moment they saw the blond man, the two women immediately stood up, respectfully came to Otto's side, stood on both sides of him, and looked at Shirley with vigilance.

"Be careful! Lord Otto, this guy is a Honkai creature that invaded the headquarters. I'm afraid he is a very dangerous type. He may already have a pseudo-nucleus... Let's buy time. Lord Otto, please immediately..."

"Hehe... Don't be nervous, Miss Leanna. This Miss Shilis is my guest. Although the energy reaction from her body is a little difficult for you to adapt to, she is definitely not our enemy."

"Eh? Is that so? But..."

The blonde was slightly startled, and then she released her fighting stance, but the solemnity in her eyes did not drop. After fighting with Shilis head-on, she had a fairly intuitive understanding of the strength of this girl. Facing such a monster with unfathomable strength, it was really difficult for her to let down her guard.

Unlike her, the silver-haired woman immediately threw away the candlesticks she had found from the church next door, and stood there obediently, with her hands folded in front of her chest and her head slightly lowered. This posture seemed to have been instructed by Rita.

"Really, Leanna, you shouldn't question Lord Otto's orders. Lord Shiris, I'm really sorry for what happened just now. When I saw you fighting with Leanna, I thought you were an enemy who invaded the headquarters, so..."

As she spoke, the silver-haired woman averted her gaze somewhat embarrassedly, gently twirling the hem of her skirt with her fingers, her cheeks slightly red.

However, the silver-haired girl in front of her didn't pay attention to her, but frowned and stared at Otto. After hearing the conversation between the two, and adding the matter she entrusted to Hill when she left Tianming last time, she basically understood the current situation...

From this, it seems that the resurrection experiment carried out by Destiny with the help of the Herrscher of Death should have been successful.

"How dare you do that... Otto Apocalis. So, these two are the former S-rank Valkyries, Cecilia Shaniat and Leanna Brigantina?"

Shirley stared at Otto, her complex expression still showing astonishment and confusion. Although it was a little unbelievable to suddenly see someone who had been dead for a long time, Shirley soon discovered something unusual.

"Neither of them has any memory of the past?"

Cecilia died from the Honkai fission missile launched by Destiny. Perhaps she did it voluntarily, and she was still willing to fight for Destiny after her resurrection. But Leanna is different. Cialis had heard about the things before the establishment of Anti-Entropy from Tesla and Einstein. If Miss Leanna had any memories of the past, she would not obey Otto so easily after her resurrection...

"Yes, the resurrection experiment has been carried out more than 20 times. Whether it is resurrection by repairing the original remains or recreating the body with gene samples, the experimental subjects have no clear memories. At most, they only retain their previous habits and common sense... And, I believe you have just experienced that the Valkyrie's adaptability to Honkai and combat awareness after rebirth are not weakened at all compared to before."

As he spoke, Otto waved his hand, motioning the silver-haired woman standing on the right to come closer to Hillary. The latter walked forward without saying a word, stood in front of Hillary, and looked at Hillary with a little curiosity.

"Well, it's just as the bishop said. Although those people told me that I was an S-rank Valkyrie who died in the battle of the Destiny Organization ten years ago, I can't remember any of that... Even the word 'Valkyrie' is something I only learned yesterday... Hehe~"

Smiling mischievously like a little girl, the reborn Cecilia is less responsible and mature than what Shilis remembered, but more innocent and lively. However, it is still unknown whether her "soul" is the real Cecilia.

"That's it..."

Looking at Cecilia right in front of her, Hillis felt an inexplicable annoyance. Before, she had been using Cecilia's identity to carry out activities, but now that she had seen the real Cecilia, this feeling was really a bit... hard to describe.

What would Siegfried think if he saw his real wife? Or rather, if the identity of Miss Cecilia was exposed, the Far East branch of the Kaslana family would be in complete chaos...

"Isn't this a wonderful feeling? You should feel like you are standing in front of a mirror, right, Miss Cecilia?"

Otto looked at the silent

Shirley said this with a smile. Hearing this, before Shirley could say anything, the silver-haired woman standing in front of her turned around first and looked at the Bishop of Heaven's Fate with some confusion.

"Um... Lord Otto, although Lady Shilis looks very similar to me, she looks much younger than me, in many ways... Well, even if you want to praise my youth, there is no need for you to say so..."

The silver-haired woman put her hand on Shirley's chin and said to Otto with a wry smile, but the next moment, she received Shirley's rolling eyes and Otto's laughter.

"I'm sorry, Cecilia, I didn't mean that, and what I said before was not directed to you."

"Eh? You didn't say it to me, so what on earth is this......?"

"Alright! Otto, there's no need to bring up some boring things. I'm a fake clone and I don't plan to inherit that identity. Tell me first... why did they attack me here?"

Interrupting Otto's words in annoyance, Shirley looked up and questioned the smiling man. Although the unarmed Valkyrie posed no threat to her, Shirley didn't understand why this attack was launched. If she wanted to meet the resurrected Cecilia, wouldn't the reception room be a more suitable place?

As Hillis expected, Otto seemed to have anticipated her question. He remained graceful and answered without thinking.

"I'm sorry, this is our Tianming's negligence. After resurrecting the sacrificed Valkyries such as Cecilia and Leanna, the research department found that they had no relevant memories, so they re-educated them. Haha... Since these resurrected people have not lost their original common sense and their daily lives will not have any problems, the main direction of Tianming's re-education for them is to re-instill in them the relevant knowledge of Honkai, so that they can adapt to the crisis of this world more quickly."

At this point, Otto smiled apologetically.

"Not long ago, the e20 outpost sent a message to the headquarters about your breaking into the garrison. After I knew about it, I wanted to give you a surprise, so I asked Miss Cecilia and her partner Miss Leanna to wait in the church hall together. However... it seems that because of the education they received, they regarded you as a dangerous Honkai creature..."

"Oh? That's a coincidence. Right after our fight stopped, you popped out from the door at the back, not a second more or less. Could it be that you hid there in advance and watched us finish the fight?"

Shirley sneered, not hiding her doubts. She did feel a little strange. What was the point of Otto doing this? Even if he wanted to attack her, he should have equipped these two top Valkyries with weapons, right? Without armor and weapons, even if they were the two strongest Valkyries in the history of the Destiny Organization, they wanted to defeat her without weapons. Isn't it a bit too contemptuous?

431 Otto's plan >>

In response, Otto's expression suddenly darkened, and he lowered his head as if in inferiority, shaking it from side to side.

"...Ms. Shilis, you misunderstood. Although I did witness the entire...fight between the three of you, I think it is best for you to stop. Although I am just an ordinary archbishop, the Destiny Organization cannot lose me now. If I am accidentally involved in your fight and something happens, I am afraid that the Destiny Organization will be in chaos..."

What a liar!

Shirley completely scoffed at this, glanced at Otto in front of her, spread her hands and shrugged.

"...You? Ordinary people? Excuse me, I have never seen an ordinary person who can rub the Mimic God Key with his hands. Even if you want to find a reason to watch, can't you be a little more serious?"

"Although my existence is somewhat unreasonable, those who possess special abilities are all combat clones that I created using soul steel. The one you met earlier was such a clone. As for me now, I am just an ordinary bishop who needs the protection of the Valkyrie."

Otto sighed deeply, ignoring the contempt in the girl's eyes. His shameless statement made Shilis want to laugh, but she could do nothing about it. After all, she couldn't just rush up and open Otto's skull to see if it was soul steel or brain matter inside.

"Alas, this is a disastrous misunderstanding. Fortunately, the two young ladies have not yet completed their studies and have not been equipped with weapons. Otherwise, it would probably cause a lot of trouble for Miss Hillis."

Otto then explained, without giving Hillis a chance to ask questions. Hillis wanted to continue to attack Otto when she heard this, but suddenly realized that there seemed to be no more questions to ask about this matter.

Cecilia and Leanna, who had no memories, were ordered to wander around the headquarters. They happened to meet themselves who had arrived at the headquarters. Based on the knowledge they had learned, they identified themselves as Honkai creatures. Because they had not yet been armed, they launched a crusade against the Honkai creatures with their bare hands. Although Otto was nearby, he was afraid of being affected by the fight between the Valkyrie and the Herrscher because he was an "ordinary person" and did not dare to stop them. Very good, a perfect reason, no

How to slip up.

"...Whatever you say is what it is, Mr. Otto. I will take it as it is. This topic ends here. Now please tell me, who did you resurrect with the power of the Herrscher of Death?"

"Those conducting the resurrection experiment are all outstanding Valkyries who died in the battle of Destiny. In addition to strong ones like Cecilia and Leanna, there are also members of the Snow Wolf Squad, and some A-level Valkyries who died in the second collapse. Of course, they have no memories, and no one knows what went wrong..."

"They are all Valkyries infected with Honkai... Haven't you tried to revive some ordinary people? For example, Edison and Planck..."

"Unfortunately, the database of Destiny does not include the genetic samples of these two people. In addition, since the energy of creation will repair the individual to the perfect state before death according to the target's genetic memory, we did not try to revive those who died of 'natural deaths' or illnesses. The damage caused by the Valkyrie's Honkai can be alleviated with the help of the adjustment of the stigmata, but ordinary people infected with Honkai cannot be helped... In addition, if we want to revive extra people, Miss Hill, who is conducting the experiment, will probably have more pressure."

While listening to Otto's explanation, Shirley tilted her head slightly and glanced at the two women who stood there obediently and tried not to interrupt. Leanna completely ignored her, but Cecilia smiled and waved her hand slightly.

"Wait a minute, isn't your goal to revive Kallen Kaslana? Why do you want to revive so many other Valkyries?"

"It's not the right time for me to revive Kallen. Individuals resurrected by the Herrscher of Death have no memories of their past. We have to find a way to solve this problem."

"Yeah...that's true. I guess you can't accept that the person you like forgets everything, right?"

Shirley nodded to show her understanding, but to her surprise, Otto denied it.

"It may sound a bit self-righteous to say this, but I don't really care whether Kallen retains her memories or not. As long as she is the real her, I just want her to be happy. It doesn't matter if she doesn't remember me... However, I won't rashly resurrect her if I can't be sure whether she is a replica or the real her! Haha... Anyway, I've already waited five hundred years, so it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer."

"Well, noble Lord Otto. Since these resurrected Valkyries are to ensure that you can resurrect Kallen without any mistakes in the future, now, what do you want to do with them who have been resurrected?"

"You have just witnessed the strength of these two. Even after death and resurrection, their strength has not declined at all. What do you think will happen if they are given appropriate weapons and weapons forged with Shaniyat's holy blood? In the war that will take place soon, our combat power will still be quite scarce, right?"

Shilis frowned.

"You want to use them as combat power? This... well, although it's a little hard to accept, I can't find any reason to refute it. These Valkyries are really pitiful. They have used up their last drop of blood for the Destiny Organization, and now you have pulled them back from heaven to continue working..."

Shirley sighed. Although it was a bit uncomfortable to let these Valkyries without memories return to the battlefield again, this was the most appropriate way to deal with it. After all, the Destiny Organization would not support a group of Valkyries who lived off the land.

"However, I have participated in the Serenity Gem plan before. So, can I participate in the decision-making of the treatment of some specific individuals?"

As she spoke, she looked again at Cecilia who was standing beside her and yawning, and the girl looked back at her again, blinking her eyes. She didn't understand why the girl kept looking at her.

Looking at Cecilia, who was a little silly and cute after losing her memory, Shilis sighed secretly. However, even so, she was still Kiana's biological mother, and in a sense, she was also the mother of herself and K423. Moreover, her memory might not be impossible to recover...

"You do have enough say on this point, Miss Hillis."

Otto replied, spreading his hand towards the passage on the other side, pointing to the elevator leading to the lower level.

"Ms. Hillis, we both probably have a lot to discuss about what happened in the past few days. So, how about we go to a more suitable place for the conversation?"

"Whatever you want, but I have to see my friend first. Where's Ciel?"

"As you wish, you will see her soon."

Otto said softly, his brows slightly frowned, but he returned to his normal state in an instant.

What Shilis didn't know was that in the previous conversation, a voice that only Otto could hear kept ringing in his mind, and just now, the amplitude of the voice reached its peak...

"Kid...! What are you doing?! Have you forgotten what "she" told you?"

432 Wish

The girl who will give everything for you

What Otto said before was not a lie in a sense.

Putting aside the Soul Steel clone and those special weapons, even though his body had undergone a certain degree of genetic adjustment, he was indeed still within the scope of an "ordinary person".

However, if one were to make a thorough distinction, the "special weapon" that had completely merged with him had already turned Otto into something other than a human being.
