The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

Then, when I defected, my father told me that if Bishop Otto and my grandfather did something bad to me and my sister, I would take them with me.

Something bad...

"But grandpa has always been very good to me," she asked in confusion.

At that time, she clearly noticed the indescribable expression on her father's face. He squatted down and said as if talking to himself: "If he was good to you, he shouldn't have taken you there..."

He also said that after he took himself and his sister away from Tianming, he would never have any contact with the Shaniyat family again.

What kind of conflict existed between his father Siegfried and the Shaniat family? Perhaps only Otto, the Bishop of Heaven's Will, could give the answer.

At this time, above Canghai City.

"This is the fifth Valkyrie team. I have successfully boarded this battleship." Kiana said while pressing the communicator beside her ear and kicking away a Houkai beast on the battleship. "Once I have cleared all these Houkai beasts that are in the way, I will meet up with Mei."

"Okay, but you have to be careful too." Ji Zi's voice came from the communicator.

Kiana ended the communication, killed all the Honkai beasts that surrounded her in a few moves, and then looked at the battleship under her feet and fell into a brief contemplation.

"What the hell is Anti-Entropy doing? Suddenly sending a warship like this to Canghai City."

[Who knows? Just be as careful as possible. ]

"Do you even need to say this?"

Kiana rushed to where Mei was while arguing with a certain ghost in her heart. No, should I say he was a certain ghost? In the stigmata incident not long ago (see the Sakura Rinnegan special), she knew this guy's real name, Kaede.

Feng actually knew a fox demon from 500 years ago, but he also said that he owed Ellie a lot, so... could it be that the fox demon lived for a long time? After all, it was a monster, so it didn't seem to be a problem to live longer, and the bishop of his own destiny was also an old monster who lived for 500 years.

If you think about it this way, there doesn't seem to be any problem.

Soon, Kiana saw Mei's figure. Mei had just cleaned up the surrounding Honkai beasts and was contacting Himeko, but she didn't seem to notice that one Honkai beast had not been completely killed and stood up again.

Kiana went up and kicked the Honkai beast away without saying a word.

"Eh? Kiana?" Mei turned around.

Although she had just kicked the Honkai beast away, Kiana still clapped her hands and said, "Mei, do you know how dangerous it was just now? If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have been ambushed by a Honkai beast."

"Kiana is always reliable in this regard." Mei said with a smile.

At the same time, he added in his mind that Kiana has always been reliable as long as it is not about studying.

She couldn't help but think in her heart, except for the fact that Kiana performed like a poor student in study, there seemed to be nothing Kiana couldn't do in other aspects... Kiana could cook, and she could also repair some broken electrical appliances in the dormitory, and then Kiana was always far ahead in fighting Honkai beasts.

She really knows everything except studying. Maybe Kiana is just pretending not to know how to study...

A certain ghost behind the scenes: Don’t you even see who taught you this!

"Okay, Mei, it's time for us to meet up with Bronya!" Kiana said as she walked towards where Bronya was.

Mei looked at Kiana's back, then looked at her own hands, revealing a helpless bitter smile. Although she and Kiana had always had a good relationship, it seemed that there was no way to get closer...

Bronya, Theresa, and Himeko always say that they spoil Kiana too much, but sometimes, maybe they are the ones who are spoiled? There is always a feeling that as long as Kiana is there, there is nothing to worry about... After all, it was Kiana who saved them.

[By the way, didn’t you give Mei a hug or something just now? ]

"Ah? We're still on a mission, isn't that weird? And it seems like we haven't been apart for long? Why are you asking me this question?"

A certain backstage spirit: Nothing else, I just feel like I have raised you in the wrong way...

Chapter 17 Too Far

Canghai City, the tail of the mysterious warship.

When Mei and Kiana were about to enter the battleship from the rear, a huge Honkai beast with a reddish-brown shell blocked their way.

"This appearance... is it a mutated Honkai Emperor?" Mei immediately connected it to the illustrated manual of the lower-level Honkai beasts she had studied, and combined with some previous battles, the Honkai beast in front of her was extremely similar to the highest-level Honkai Emperor among the lower-level Honkai beasts in her impression, except for the color, so she made this inference.

[No, this is not the Honkai Emperor, it's the Emperor-level Honkai Beast, Indra.]

"Emperor-level Honkai beast... Ha, this is really a big one coming..." Kiana said in a low voice.

"What? Kiana, you just said this is an emperor-level Honkai beast?" Mei looked at Kiana in surprise, but Kiana's eyes were just fixed on the huge Honkai beast in front of her.

Suddenly, Kiana flew over and knocked Mei to the ground, and a beam of fire swept across the place where Mei had just stood.

"Mei! Go meet Bronya first, and leave this Honkai beast to me!" Kiana clenched the double-gun water elves in her hands.

"But, as for the Emperor-level Honkai Beast...it can only be killed alone by several A-level or S-level Valkyries!" Mei said. At the same time, a warning from Himeko sounded in the headset, confirming that the Honkai Beast that appeared in front of them did indeed have an Emperor-level Honkai energy level.

Jizi asked them to find a place to retreat immediately and contacted Theresa to request more reinforcements.

In the investigation of the Destiny Valkyrie, B-class Valkyries can officially carry out various tasks in the form of a team, while A-class Valkyries have the combat power to kill Temple-level Honkai beasts alone, and can kill Emperor-level Honkai beasts in a team. As for S-class Valkyries, their mission is to go on missions around the world to suppress various Honkai beasts.

For example, the current S-class Valkyrie of Destiny, Yulandel, once fought non-stop for more than 30 days and wiped out all the Honkai beasts in a certain area.

"Don't worry, Mei. After all, I will become an S-class Valkyrie in the future. It's just an Emperor-class Honkai beast. It's no problem!" Kiana said casually.

"No! I can't abandon you... I, I still have the power of the Herrscher..."

"Mei." Kiana's tone was very calm. "The power of the Herrscher core in your body cannot be used at will. We all know that, don't we? Forcibly using the power of the Herrscher will only bring greater burden to your body. What's more... there is a micro-bomb on your heart that detects your vital signs."

Mei was stunned.

She stared blankly at Kiana rushing towards the Emperor-level Honkai Beast in front of her, her body constantly moving and jumping. Although the damage that the water elf could cause to the Emperor-level Honkai Beast was limited, the Emperor-level Honkai Beast's attacks could not touch Kiana at all.

"Mei, don't just stand there! Go meet Bronya first, I'll find a chance to get rid of it and come over later! The most urgent task is to stop this battleship from entering Canghai City and causing greater damage!" Kiana's voice brought Mei back to her senses.

"Mei, just do as Kiana says." Himeko's voice rang out in the communicator, "I know you are worried about Kiana, but we all know that Kiana will not be too aggressive in other aspects except for her worrying test scores. Currently, Kiana is the only one in the fifth team who is capable of temporarily holding back the Emperor-level Honkai beast."

Yes, although it is impossible to kill an Emperor-level Honkai Beast, holding back an Emperor-level Honkai Beast will not be a big problem for an A-level Valkyrie.

Kiana only failed in academic subjects, but in other aspects she is a qualified A-level Valkyrie. Mei and Bronya are both well aware of this.

If I don't use the power of the Herrscher, staying here will only cause trouble for Kiana...

It has always been... like this, whether it was the first time they met in Changkong City, or the encounter with the Anti-Entropy Force and the will to fight against Ji Lin in the Chiyou incident, as long as Kiana was there, there was nothing to worry about. It was Kiana who saved her, but in Kiana's world, she... might not be that important.

Because, every time it comes to this, I can't help at all...

In the Chiyou incident, she and Bronya were able to play a supporting role to Kiana to some extent. However, in Theresa's stigmata incident, it was completely Kiana who had to solve the stigmata problem alone in the end.

There is no...way...

I want to be close to you so much, but every time I think I am close enough to you, you prove to me countless times that the distance between you and me is so far. You unreasonably broke into my world and saved me, but I didn't have the chance to save you...

Just like the current situation, without the power of the Herrscher, I can't even fight alongside you.

"Mei, don't just stand there, hurry up!" Kiana noticed that Mei was still standing there with her head down, and couldn't help but shout.

She doesn't want anyone around her to get hurt.

"Valkyrie Raiden Mei, follow my orders!" Ji Zi's tone became stern in the communicator, "The most urgent task is to prevent this battleship from entering Canghai City!"

While Mei was not taking any action, Kiana's battle with the emperor-level Honkai beast Indra was still going on. In order to ensure that Indra did not attack Mei, she tried her best to attract Indra's hatred and direct Indra's attacks to other places.

"Isn't the damage of this water spirit too low? I never thought that the damage of this gun was so low!"

[Don't forget, the Water Spirit is the standard equipment of the B-class Valkyrie. Its main target is the Chariot-class Honkai Beast. It will be difficult to deal with the Temple-class and Honkai Emperor above the Chariot-class, not to mention the Emperor-class Honkai Beast. Even if you shoot this gun to pieces here today, you won't be able to cause much damage to Indra.]

To put it bluntly... the weapons are so bad that the damage is minimal.

"Of course I know that! I have a pretty good idea of ​​my current abilities, right? The current situation isn't about killing this Indra, it's about buying time for Mei to retreat! ——By the way, why hasn't Mei made any moves yet?"

[…Not good.]

"…Huh? What's wrong?"

Just as this doubt arose in Kiana's heart, she suddenly seemed to hear the sound of electricity, and then a flash of lightning flashed in front of her, splitting Indra's wings off to one side.

"Mei?"

Kiana looked at Mei, who seemed to have electricity flowing all over her body. At this moment, Mei's eyes seemed to be glowing red. The next moment, she rushed up and had a sword fight with Indra that was filled with electric light.

Indra retreated a little. The damage caused to him by Mei was not low, and as an emperor-level Honkai beast, his instinct made him naturally afraid of a Herrscher, so he decisively chose to run away.

Seeing Indra running away, Kiana did not breathe a sigh of relief. She looked at Mei nervously. Mei no longer had the current flowing through her body and she seemed to be a little weak. Kiana quickly stepped forward to support Mei: "Mei! Why are you..."

"Don't worry, I just... borrowed a little bit of her power... it'll be okay." Mei said weakly.

"But..." Kiana looked at Mei, pursed her lips, and finally said, "Mei, don't be so stubborn next time..."

"If I were stronger and could defeat this Indra in a few moves, Mei wouldn't need to rely on the power of the Herrscher..."

[…Kiana, sometimes, you may not realize that you may walk too far and too fast, so far that others cannot catch up with you. You are a team of three, but in some cases, you often bear most of the pressure alone. This is also a kind of pressure for Mei and Bronya.]

"You taught me to be like this, so shouldn't you also take responsibility?"

【really……】

"Tsk... I just said it casually..."

Kiana frowned inwardly, and after steadying Mei, she walked in front of her, squatted down and said, "Mei, do you need me to carry you in?"

Mei let out a soft "hmm" and let Kiana carry her on her back.

[I have to admit, Kiana, you are becoming more and more popular with girls now. ]

"Don't make me sound weird..."

Kiana inexplicably recalled the time when she suspected that a certain ghost behind her would peek at her bathing. Feng complained that there was no need for that and that her body was not good-looking...

Ha...hehe...

Could it be that he likes Ai Li's figure... No, why should I care about such a thing? !

"Kiana."

Just when Kiana was lost in thought, Mei suddenly spoke softly.

"What's wrong, Mei? Are you feeling unwell?" Kiana asked with concern.

"No...just..."

Before Mei finished speaking, the two saw Bronya waving at them from a distance.

"What is it?" Kiana asked.

"Nothing... Let's finish the task at hand first..."

Kiana thought of what Feng had just told her, and began to reflect in her heart, wondering if she had indeed gone too far, or if she had actually not intended to get too involved between Mei and Bronya from the beginning?

After all... the truth about my father's defection, his strange attitude towards me in the past three years, and Ai Li's previous question about whether I really have the courage to face the final truth...

Perhaps, one day, she would leave here, leave Mei and Bronya, but before that, at least in order not to be too sad when leaving, she couldn't... indulge in it too much...

She will have to face the truth one day, but in fact, she has long realized that her name, Kiana Kaslana, may not have belonged to her from the beginning...

The truth that has been hidden by everyone may become the reason for my leaving.

If you get involved too much with the people around you, it will only hurt everyone...

[Why do you think so, Kiana? You can treat them as your friends, your lifelong friends. You don't need to bear all this alone. Isn't it a good proof that Mei just released the power of the Herrscher for you? Aren't they all your trustworthy friends? ]

"Yes, they are people I can trust and can definitely become my lifelong friends... But since they are my best friends, how can I watch them get hurt because of me?"

[…At your age, you don’t need to think so much.]

"Ha... I can't help it. Who made me have to survive on my own after I turned 12? Besides, you're always by my side, right?"

[…Maybe one day, I will leave too? ]

"...I won't let you leave."

"You promised me you wouldn't leave."

[It is not a good thing to always think of relying on one person. After all, I am a ghost without a physical body. I may disappear into thin air at any time. Before that, you should find more people who care about you and make more friends.]

"...That's all for the future, let's talk about the future later!"

【…】

A certain spirit behind the scenes looked up at the sky, always feeling that he had raised his child in a wrong way, but at the same time, he felt that there was nothing wrong with him. He was obviously taking care of the child very seriously... How did he raise the child in a wrong way...

How about asking Alicia after I successfully resurrected myself? After all, their child was raised by Alicia, but... it seemed that Alicia had raised the child in a wrong way. Mavis had quietly created a big mess for her biological father in the underworld and her biological mother in the world... and then reported it to her biological father.

Bronya watched Mei and Kiana come to her. Of course, she had been paying attention to the news about Mei and Kiana in the communication channel. Although she couldn't show any expression because of the damage to her emotional module, the look she gave Kiana still revealed complexity.

It is obvious that Mei's current weak state is due to the fact that she forcibly released the power of the Herrscher before, which caused considerable damage to herself, and the reason why she did this is also obvious.

It's because of that idiot Kiana.

This idiot has always been like this. She thinks she can handle everything by herself. Whenever something happens, she always lets Mei and I retreat safely first and then she will cover the rear. But she has the capital to do so, and then Mei and I can only watch her bear all the risks alone.

They are called the fifth Valkyrie team... but at the critical moment, all the damage was done by Kiana alone, giving people the feeling that there was no difference between having herself and Mei and not having them.
