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

"Don't worry, the only thing that will be difficult for me is the written test. I have a lot of experience in practical tests." Kiana smiled and said, "But I think Mei and Bronya will definitely get good results!"

"No, that's not what I'm talking about..." Mei lowered her eyes and said as if she had made up her mind, "I'm talking about Maria Shaniat who will be here today, she..."

"The principal told me that in terms of seniority, she should be considered my aunt! I'm sure you guys are my aunt. I've always been a very close friend of mine, and I've always been very close to her. I've always been a very close friend of mine, and I've always been very close to her. I've always been a very close friend of mine, and I've always been very close to her. I've always been very close to her.

"Yes, we all have some secrets or a past that we don't want to remember..." Bronya said calmly, "Maria Shaniyate, she is not just related to Kiana..."

"Eh?" Mei looked at Bronya in surprise, "Bronya, I felt the same way when I heard Ms. Maria's name before. Could it be that you also..."

"At this point, there's actually nothing to hide. After all, Bronya was once a member of Anti-Entropy." Bronya lowered her eyes and said, "The Shaniyat family has a very bad relationship with Anti-Entropy. A few years ago, a research base of Anti-Entropy that looked like an orphanage was destroyed by Maria."

Kiana and Mei looked at Bronya. After a moment of silence, Kiana said, "It looks like an orphanage, which means there are really children inside. And, Bronya, you are one of those children, right?"

Bronya nodded slightly and said, "Perhaps, for others, this was an action taken by the destiny at that time to combat the anti-entropy research institute. However, in that action, many children were injured or even died. Some of them did not even know the other identity of the orphanage... Just like that, they left forever..."

"So, Bronya, do you hate Miss Maria?" Mei asked.

Bronya answered quickly: "It's impossible not to hate... but there's no way to hate completely..."

The three of them entered the examination room for the practical test while talking. Suddenly, Kiana felt a gaze with strong negative emotions. The strong sense of crisis brought by that gaze almost made Kiana breathless for a moment.

But soon the sight disappeared.

Kiana looked towards the VIP stand, where, besides Principal Theresa, there were three other people standing. At the moment, none of them were looking at her, but that gaze just now was indeed...

"Feng, did you find anything just now?"

[…It’s okay, just focus on the exam, I’ll help you pay attention to the surrounding situation.]

"Dear candidates, the three people next to me are the ones sent by the headquarters to be in charge of this practical test. I'm sure you are all familiar with their names, right?" Theresa began to speak at the VIP desk. "Next to me, from left to right, the first one is Maria Shaniyate, one of the current S-class Valkyries of Destiny and also the examiner of the Valkyrie rating. The second one is Cheng Lixue, the current Valkyrie instructor of the Destiny headquarters. The third one is Youlandel, one of the current S-class Valkyries of Destiny and also the youngest and strongest S-class Valkyrie."

"Wow, it's Lady Yulandel!"

"Cheng Lixue? Is she the Valkyrie nicknamed Frost Swordsman in the Second Collapse? Is she a real person?"

"Ms. Maria looks so gentle with her smile on her face..."

The Valkyries off the field began to whisper.

Kiana couldn't help but look at the four people on the VIP stage. The sight just now was definitely from one of the four people, but who could it be? She didn't know anyone on the stage except Theresa, and she didn't remember who she had a grudge against...

Unless it is a grudge from the previous generation.

Dad Siegfried hardly ever mentioned anything about the Shanyatid family, and the hunter from the Shanyatid family whom he met before was also somewhat secretive about her name and identity. Logically, he should have asked her name, but he did not ask. Feng was also sure that the hunter already knew the answer.

No matter how he thought about it, that gaze could only come from his aunt, Maria Shaniat, whom he had never met. Even though she was smiling with squinting eyes now, she was the only one most likely to look at him in that way. And the reason behind that gaze must be related to the fact that his father took him to defect.

As Kiana thought so, her gaze shifted to Yulandel again, and their eyes met. What surprised Kiana was that Yulandel, an S-class Valkyrie of the same age as herself, actually smiled friendly at her, a B-class Valkyrie whom she had never met before?

Kiana was a little confused, but Yulandel was definitely smiling at her, so Kiana could only smile back.

On the VIP stage.

Cheng Lixue looked at the Valkyrie in the practical examination room and said calmly: "Maria, you haven't been sleeping well recently. Your performance from the Tianming headquarters to here is not like before."

She was so irritable that she couldn't control her emotions. Although she knew that Maria was a smiling person, she had never seen her unable to control her expression and hide her emotions several times like she did now.

It can only be said that Kiana Kaslana did touch some sensitive nerves of this fanatical follower of the Shaniyat family.

At first, Cheng Lixue did not quite agree that the Shanyiat family was full of crazy people, because Cecilia had always been normal. Even Maria, Cheng Lixue had seen her when she was still a child before the second great collapse. But later she realized that Cecilia seemed to be a rare normal person among them?

Maria was apparently quite normal when she was a child, so how come she became twisted as she grew up?

Cheng Lixue had only heard a few words about the deeds of Lucifer, the ancestor of the Shanniyat family, from his master, the Immortal Chiyuan. The master believed that Lucifer was indeed an undisputed hero, but the master also felt that the Shanniyat family had gone a little too far.

The Shaniyat family usually behaves quite normally, but when it comes to issues concerning their ancestors, they are likely to become abnormal.

Even so, the Shanyiat family's contribution to mankind is unquestionable. After all, no matter how crazy they are, they can be said to be a family of loyal martyrs in fighting against the Honkai. Even if they have some serious illnesses, they just have to endure it.

Cheng Lixue was not very clear about the situation, but from an outsider's perspective, she felt that Siegfried's behavior when he defected was not very kind. After all, Kiana was the daughter of Captain Cecilia. She defected without any warning and lost all news. Captain Cecilia was the saint of the Shaniyat family. Her daughter was taken away. It would be strange if the Shaniyat family was not furious.

The most bizarre thing is that the one Siegfried took away was a clone. The original Kiana was seriously injured and lost her memory and became the Yulandel beside him.

The name Kiana Kaslana was finally given to the current Kiana by Siegfried, which was indeed no different from a provocative act to the Shaniyat family.

How did Captain Cecilia fall in love with Siegfried in the first place?

"Heh... You are not a member of the Shanyat family, and you don't understand anything. I just want to know an answer now." Maria opened her eyes a little, with a cold light flashing in her blue pupils. "Is it the Red Kite Immortal's intention or the Bishop's intention for you to come with me?"

"Didn't I tell you my answer a long time ago? It doesn't matter whether it's yes or no. Now that I'm here, I definitely can't let you mess around here." Cheng Lixue said calmly, "What's more, Youlan Dai'er is here too, so it's better for you to pay more attention to the demeanor of a senior, right?"

The corner of Maria's eye twitched, then she narrowed her eyes again and began to observe the actual combat of the Valkyries in the actual combat examination room. Of course, her main attention was on Kiana, and she didn't even notice the gaze of a "three-no" girl looking at her.

But even if she noticed it, it wouldn't matter. She had no impression of Bronya at all and didn't remember such a person.

She was only thinking about how to take Kiana away. With Cheng Lixue watching her, it would be difficult to do it, unless she used some other means to divert Cheng Lixue's attention...

Fortunately, when she knew the list of people who would come with her, she had already made various preparations. Even if she didn't fight with Cheng Lixue, she had plenty of plans to take k423 away.

"Let's wait and see how capable this year's Saint Freya's Valkyrie is..." Maria raised the corner of her mouth slightly with a smile.

In the assessment venue.

Kiana kicked a Honkai beast away. This level of battle was no problem for her. With just a few tank-level and assault-level beasts, Kiana felt that she could kill them at will with her eyes closed.

It might be more difficult to deal with the Honkai Emperor, and you can't just kill him blindly. As for the Emperor-level Honkai Beast, not to mention that the simulation device cannot simulate the Emperor-level Honkai Beast at all, the subjugation of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast is not within the assessment scope of the B-level Valkyrie.

Taking a step back, after the Moonlight Throne incident, Theresa approved the use of the hidden form of the White Armor she is currently wearing, which is the prototype of the fourth-generation God-killing Armor, White Knight Moonlight.

Kiana only used the ability of the White Knight once, and it was locked by Theresa afterwards, so she couldn't use it when fighting Walter. During the Moonlight Throne incident, she originally wanted to apply to Theresa for the right to use the White Knight, but before she could apply, the Emperor-level Honkai Beast was scared away by Mei, who had transformed into a Herrscher.

Feng always said that she ran too far, which put pressure on Mei and Bronya, so she asked Mei to leave quickly at that time. In fact, her purpose was to wait for Mei to leave before applying for the permission to activate the White Knight.

There are many reasons why Theresa locked her White Knight Armor. First, her current Valkyrie level is still B-level, and it is against the rules to use the White Knight, a fourth-generation god-killing armor, in public. Second, in most cases, she really does not need to use the White Knight Armor.

As for now, I have decided to become an A-level Valkyrie and face the truth of that year, so there is no need to hide it any longer.

Of course, it’s better not to use it if possible. After all, we don’t want to put too much psychological burden on Mei and Bronya.

[Is there a possibility that you have already put a great psychological burden on them? ]

"... A little is still a little, right?"

Kiana easily fought off a round of simulated Honkai beasts, but suddenly, she heard an abnormal buzzing sound from the instruments in the examination field, and then the entire field began to glow red.

"What's wrong?" Kiana observed the surrounding situation vigilantly.

Theresa stood up from her seat in the VIP section and said quickly, "The assessment is over. Stop the device immediately!"

But soon, she got the technician's reply that the device was abnormal and could not be shut down. Then, in the eyes of the spectators outside the field, the changes in the training ground revealed their true appearance.

"That's... an emperor-level Honkai beast? And there's more than one!" someone exclaimed.

"Ganesha, Pavani, Indra... three emperor-level Honkai beasts..." Cheng Lixue shifted her gaze to Maria, who still had a smiling expression on her face beside her, and lowered her eyes in thought. Her intuition told her that it was Maria who was causing trouble, but she had to keep an eye on Maria, otherwise Maria might attack Kiana if she was not careful.

"Oh, it looks like something unexpected has happened." Maria's tone was emotionless. "But it looks like this is beyond the capabilities of these Valkyries. What should we do?"

"Senior Maria, why don't you go in and help? If there are only three emperor-level ones, you, me, and Senior Cheng Lixue can handle it." Yulandel stood up and said.

Maria smiled slightly, but before she could speak, the ground of the entire Saint Freya seemed to shake, and then an alarm sounded.

"Oh, right, I remember now." Maria clapped her hands. "If I remember correctly, Saint Freya seems to have imprisoned a captured Emperor-level Honkai Beast, right?"

"Maria, you..." Cheng Lixue looked at the smiling Maria. She really felt that this woman had gone crazy. She released a seriously injured and dormant Emperor-level Honkai beast? She completely ignored the safety of others. This even violated the rules of the Shanyiat family!

"So how should we deal with this emergency situation now?" Maria opened her eyes slightly with a smile on her face.

The Shanyiat family has always been willing to do whatever it takes. As long as they can get that adult back, even a small sacrifice is nothing to worry about!

Chapter 23 Accidents One After Another

"The Shaniyat family's responsibility is to fight the Honkai and protect humanity. This is our responsibility as descendants of the gods."

She had heard this sentence countless times from her admired sister and from other elders in the family. However, although she admired Sister Cecilia, the saint, very much, she had different ideas from Sister Cecilia on some points.

It is not just humans who often have no choice to fight against Honkai. Even the Shaniyat family, who are noble descendants of gods, are no exception. From ancient times to the present, with the exception of their ancestor Mavis Shaniyat, the average age of the Shaniyat family is no more than forty years old. They have stronger adaptability to Honkai energy and stronger physical fitness than ordinary people, but in the end, they often cannot get the life that ordinary people can have.

So, do you hate your bloodline? Do you hate your bloodline for bringing you such a heavy responsibility, forcing you to stay away from ordinary people's lives?

No, not at all and never.

If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight.

However, in her eyes, protecting humanity does not refer to a single individual. As long as the ultimate goal is to protect all of humanity and the human race, it is understandable to sacrifice some individuals during this period.

Just like the anti-entropy executive named Kokolia, she thought that she used the orphanage as a cover and shield, and the Shaniyat family would not dare to do anything to her? What made her have such an illusion?

It's so naive and so ridiculous.

Oh yeah, it’s also extremely hypocritical.

If Kokolia really loved those children, why did she use the orphanage as a disguise for the research institute? The so-called anger afterwards was nothing more than the impotent rage caused by the destruction of research data. It was really hypocritical to use the guise of revenge for the children.

What the Shanyiat family has never protected is any individual human being, but humanity as a whole. Once an enemy is identified as the family's enemy, no amount of shields will be of any use, because all sacrifices are worth it.

So, that time she would not hesitate to give the order to attack the orphanage, without any mercy, regardless of any casualties, and without intending to leave anyone alive. Kokolia herself did not take the safety of the children seriously, using them as shields, and still expected the enemy to show mercy to her children?

Just like this time, she wanted to take away the "container" that usurped the name of the daughter of the Saint of the Shanyat family, regardless of the cost, and no one could stop her...

Maria stroked the bracelet on her left wrist and chuckled as she said, "With Saint Freya's current defense capabilities, the awakening of an emperor-level Honkai beast may not be suppressed so quickly, right? And now the students' assessment has encountered unexpected dangers. I think we should make a decision early, right?"

"Maria, you..."

Cheng Lixue was about to speak when Maria raised a finger and said, "As the current S-class Valkyrie of Destiny, I think I have the authority to command this operation. It's just a seriously injured Emperor-class Honkai Beast. There are four S-class Valkyries here. What kind of storm can it cause? How about this, Bianca, let you deal with the Honkai Beast, and we will handle the unexpected situations at the assessment site, how about that?"

Didn't she let Theresa and I leave? Cheng Lixue began to guess Maria's thoughts. Maria was still able to maintain her politeness because of Youlandel. If Youlandel left, Maria would have no scruples and would most likely tear her face off with herself and Theresa.

But is she so confident that Theresa and I can’t stop her?

Although she had her doubts, the situation was urgent and there was no room for delay. Maria's arrangement was reasonable, so Cheng Lixue immediately said, "Then follow Maria's arrangement. I'll leave it to you, Bianca."

"I understand." Yulandel nodded, and immediately put on the God-killing Armor of the Shining Knight Yuepo, and went to the place where the Emperor-level Honkai Beast awakened.

Maria watched Yulandel leave and cast her cold eyes towards the examination field. The name that belonged to her niece would be taken back by her eventually, but before that, she would put this fake with an inappropriate name back where a fake should be!

Two former S-class Valkyries of Destiny and one current S-class Valkyrie of Destiny quickly entered the examination field to quell the unrest, but then a bigger accident occurred.

"Anti-entropy mechas? How come they appear here?!" Cheng Lixue drew her sword like water, surprised by all the unexpected events that had occurred so far today.

"Heh... After all, rats always like to take advantage of opportunities. It seems that Saint Freya does have what they need..." Maria said calmly, "Maybe this turmoil is a trick that Anti-Entropy has been planning for a long time... Of course, it is also possible that their target is me."

Maria is the Shaniyat family member who has the deepest hatred for Anti-Entropy. If Anti-Entropy knew Maria's whereabouts, it is indeed possible that Maria would be attacked, but...

Although the conflict is already deep, is Anti-Entropy really prepared to further deepen the hatred with Shaniyat to the point of a fight to the death?

This is very suspicious.

Cheng Lixue still had some impression of the two executors of Anti-Entropy, Einstein and Tesla. Although the two executors were extremely determined to resist destiny, it did not mean that they were unwise people - but if it was Cocolia, it would be a different matter. That woman could not be guessed by common sense.

No matter what, the most likely person behind this accident was Maria. Now that Anti-Entropy has intervened, they will have to take the blame no matter what.

Could it be that Anti-Entropy didn't even know this? Or was there a secret in this academy that they were determined to get even if they had to fight the Shaniyatt family to the death?

Right now, he was being besieged by the Anti-Entropy Mecha and had to deal with a runaway assessment system. He really didn't have the energy to pay much attention to Maria. But even if he was like this, there was no way Maria would take Kiana away in front of everyone, right?

Even though the master is here, under the gazes of everyone, it is impossible for the master to show his true strength...

It's a bit troublesome indeed.

"The actions of these mechas...are they targeting Kiana?" Cheng Lixue's heart trembled. Was Anti-Entropy targeting Kiana? That could indeed explain everything that happened today, but were they concerned about Kiana's Herrscher Core? In any case, Kiana could not be taken away by Maria or Anti-Entropy.

Maria here.

"Although I don't know why Anti-Entropy appeared here, it seems that their target is indeed K423. They knew that K423 was in Saint Freya before, but they didn't take action until now, and they chose the time when I came to Saint Freya..." Maria pulled a hand out of the damaged mecha, "It seems that someone has leaked my whereabouts..."

The Bishop? Or Theresa?

Anti-Entropy has known for a long time that K423 is in Saint Freya but has not taken any action yet. This shows that Anti-Entropy has reached a delicate balance between Saint Freya and Destiny. Destiny does not interfere, and Anti-Entropy does not interfere either. Saint Freya has become a buffer zone between the two sides.

However, his arrival had actually broken this balance. Knowing that there was a high probability that he would take K423 away, Anti-Entropy could not help but take action.

Even if he took K423 away, it would not have any substantial impact on the bishop's plan. So even if the bishop did not want him to take K423 away right now, he would probably just let Cheng Lixue and Bianca look after him. As for Theresa... she was indeed the most likely person to tip off Anti-Entropy.

"But it's okay. Once this balance is broken, it won't be so easy to restore it." Maria sneered in her heart. As long as the anti-entropy attack on Saint Freya was confirmed, even if she couldn't take K423 away, she would have reason to report to the head of the family. For the sake of the family's thousand-year-old wish and stability, Theresa would no longer be qualified to object to the Shanyiat family taking K423 away.

If the bishop didn't want K423 to be taken back to headquarters, he would definitely not take such a move.

Therefore, it could only be Theresa who tipped off Anti-Entropy.

"Although this can be considered as you helping me, from now on, the Shanyat family will no longer trust you, Theresa Apokalis... Those who betray the Shanyat family are not worthy of being Shanyat's friends." After Maria destroyed several anti-entropy mechas around her, she placed her right hand on the bracelet on her left wrist.

Inside is a special device developed to awaken the Second Herrscher, which she had "taken" from the laboratory before leaving the Schicksal Headquarters. If Anti-Entropy had not come, she was also going to use this device on Kiana to forcibly awaken the Second Herrscher in Kiana's body. In this way, no one would have a reason to stop her from taking this container away!

Anyway, Anti-Entropy is here now, and when the time comes to investigate the reason for the awakening of the Second Herrscher, it can all be blamed on Anti-Entropy.

"Just accept your fate, K423!" Maria decisively activated the device on her wrist and prepared to protect herself from the Honkai energy that would erupt when the Second Herrscher awakened.
