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

"I don't know. I haven't seen her since the riot was suppressed." Cheng Lixue said after looking around.

"Could it be... Kiana! Where is Kiana?!" Theresa subconsciously thought that Maria took advantage of the chaos to attack Kiana. After all, in the melee just now, no one cared about what was happening on Kiana's side.

"If the principal is looking for Kiana, she is now helping Doctor Su transfer the seriously injured students to the infirmary." Bronya floated over and pointed in a direction.

Theresa looked in the direction Bronya pointed, and saw Kiana carrying a stretcher and working with other Valkyries to transfer the injured Valkyrie, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Kiana is still here, fortunately she is fine...

"That kid is really good." A male voice sounded not far away.

The three of them turned their eyes over. Theresa recognized the person coming over at a glance, but was also a little surprised by his arrival: "Ivar? Why are you here?"

"Of course I came here to deal with Maria's affairs..." Ivar lowered his eyes, "The invasion of the Anti-Entropy Mecha is one thing, but Maria is to blame for the release of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast. She has been taken away by Ludwig, so you probably won't see her anymore."

"Is that so..." Theresa thought, "Then, Ivar, you have another purpose for coming here, right?"

"Of course." Ivar nodded, "The bishop also gave me an oral instruction."

As he said that, he looked at Bronya again. Theresa understood and asked Bronya to go help somewhere else first. Cheng Lixue took a look at the atmosphere between the two of them, shrugged, indicating that she didn't care about these, and then went to find her master.

"Grandpa, what did he say?" Theresa asked.

"Through this incident, Principal Theresa should have seen that Anti-Entropy also wants to seize the child. In this regard, the attitude of the bishop is also the attitude of the Shanyat family." Ivar said, "Kiana can stay in Saint Freya, but we will also send the Shanyat family to protect her. Do you understand?"

"I... understand." Theresa nodded. "Then have you made any arrangements for the Shaniyat family member who is coming over?"

"The bishop has already chosen a candidate. Her name is Angelia Shaniat." Ivar replied, "It just so happens that the child doesn't know enough about many things that ordinary people should know about this world. And Principal Laudelisa, please take a little more care of her."

"No, this is the best possible outcome." Theresa said, "Afterwards... say thank you to Grandpa for me."

"I think the bishop would be happier if you said thank you to him in person." Ivar spread his hands. "Oh, by the way, all the losses suffered by Saint Freya in this turmoil will be borne by the Shaniyat family. This can be regarded as making up for the damage caused to innocent people by Maria's negligence."

"Is this what Grandpa meant?" Theresa tilted her head.

"No, this... Actually, I'm not sure..." Ivar hesitated, "Anyway, this is what the Shanyat family wants. I hope Maria's reckless behavior will not affect the friendship between you and the Shanyat family."

"How can I let the Shanyatid family bear all the consequences?" Theresa remembered that she was still cooperating with Anti-Entropy, which had a grudge against the Shanyatid family. Ivar's words made her feel guilty. All the bad feelings she had towards the Shanyatid family because of Maria's arrival also completely dissipated.

"After all, we can't expect Anti-Entropy to give us any compensation, right?" Ivar said, "That's what I want to convey. As for the rest of the matter...if there's nothing else, I'll go back and report."

"Thank you, Ivar." Theresa said with a complicated look.

Before Ivar left, Theresa remembered something and asked again: "Ivar, um...what will happen to Maria in the future?"

"This... is the Shanyiat family's family affair. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for the principal to ask more questions, right?"

"Okay... By the way, Ivar, I heard that you were seriously injured in Singapore. You should still be recuperating at this stage, right? Your current physical condition..."

"I can't help it. There are some things that only I can do now... I don't need to worry about it, but I can at least live to the average age of the Shanyati family. What's more, death is not something to be afraid of for the Shanyati family." Ivar waved his hand and left. "That's it. Goodbye."

Theresa sighed softly. The average age of the Shanyat family... is also much lower than that of ordinary people.

Theresa knew that Ivar was her grandfather's confidant, but recently Ivar was in the recuperation stage, so Otto began to transfer some of Ivar's affairs to Rita. However, this time the matter involved the Shanyat family, and it was inappropriate for Rita to come forward, so she had to pull Ivar, who was in the recuperation period, out.

Theresa really wanted to say, is there really no one left who can use Grandpa in the Shanyiat family?

the other side.

"So, Ludwig, what punishment do I have to face?" Maria said to Ludwig. If she were still in her prime, she wouldn't be too weak if she went head-on with the guy in front of her. But now she was being consumed by a bunch of Titans and simulated emperor-level Honkai beasts, and she had almost no ability to resist Ludwig.

She really didn't expect that it was Ludwig who came. If it was Ivar or other Shanyat from the [Black Abyss], she would not be very convinced even if she was in the wrong. But it was Ludwig who came, a member of the Shanyat family who was almost as famous as Cecilia's sister in the past. Now she didn't even have the room to resist.

"If it weren't for the bishop, your actions this time would have brought shame to the Shanyati family." Ludwig said while playing with the bracelet he had confiscated from Maria. "We were originally planning to blame Anti-Entropy for the Emperor-level Honkai Beast incident. After all, it would be bad for the Shanyati family if this matter was made public. But... this time it was that person who spoke up."

"That one?" Maria was confused at first, then seemed to have thought of something and said in disbelief, "You mean... that one?!"

"Yes, it's the one you were thinking of." Ludwig crossed his arms and said, "You also know that Mistelline and Sariel can communicate directly with that person, and she asked Mistelline to pass on the message. You must reflect on this and accept the punishment you deserve."

It’s…that one?

Then, was I warned by the two ancestors repeatedly during this day? !

"The Shaniyat family will bear all the losses suffered by Saint Freya this time. This is also what that person meant." Ludwig's eyes became a little cold. "You know what this means, Maria."

"I……"

Ludwig said coldly: "Although she doesn't want to blame you too much, you have to understand that for me and others, this kind of thing must never happen again, understand?"

"I see……"

"If you understand, then come back with me honestly and stop trying to make excuses for yourself." Ludwig turned around and was about to leave. "After accepting the family's punishment, you should reflect on yourself for a while."

"What about K423?!" Maria was still a little unwilling. "She is the container of our ancestors. We can't let her stay in Saint Freya, where anti-entropy can easily invade, right? She is just a container. How can she..."

"Maria, you know very well why you are targeting K423." Ludwig said, turning his head slightly. "For [Black Abyss], it doesn't matter what her name is, whether it's Kiana or Bianca. Only you [White Flower] care about these things." "But wasn't she prepared from the beginning to revive that adult?"

"Heh..." Ludwig's mouth curled up into a cold smile, "So what? If Bianca is more suitable, then the container is Bianca, and K423 is more suitable, then the container is K423. I think you must have misunderstood something. The reason why the Bishop did this experiment in the beginning and persuaded [Black Abyss] was to give our glorious ancestor a better and more perfect container."

Maria's pupils shrank.

Ludwig turned his head, put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Okay, stop dawdling here, let's go."

Maria was silent for a long time before she gritted her teeth and said, "I have some information to share."

"Ok?"

"Just when I was about to knock K423 out and take him away, I felt the gaze of Lord Lucifer." Maria said.

Ludwig's eyes finally showed a significant change of emotion. He turned around and said to Maria in an extremely cold tone: "Are you serious?"

"Any member of the Shaniat family who lies about this matter should be cut into pieces." Maria stared into Ludwig's eyes and said, "I feel the rebuke from Master Lucifer."

Ludwig stared at Maria for a long time before he sneered and said, "Well done, Maria. You can make two adults focus on you in one day. You are really good... But what you said, ha, is indeed important information. I will report it to the higher-ups, but your punishment will not be revoked, let alone reduced."

"I have no complaints," Maria said, her head bowed.

On the way Ludwig was leaving with Maria, he met Ivar who was coming back. Ivar took a look at Maria who looked like her soul had been taken away, then looked at Ludwig and said, "Is everything done?"

"I've dealt with it, and I got some important information." Ludwig said calmly, "It's a bit of good news that she got into trouble. Have you dealt with it as well?"

"Well, it's nothing, just passing on a message." Ivar spread his hands.

"Originally, I didn't want you to come here since you were still recuperating, but the bishop still chose you... Do you know the bishop's purpose?"

"Wideen the rift between the principal and Anti-Entropy, right?"

"You've worked so hard. You're really a brick in the bishop's arsenal. You're there wherever he needs you." Ludwig shrugged. "But I'm telling you, you're almost close to the average age of the family. Why don't you consider making some contribution to the continuation of the Shaniyat family's bloodline?"

"[Black Abyss] only talks about missions, not feelings." Ivar raised his eyes, "And it's as if you've made a contribution."

"But as long as nothing unexpected happens, I will live longer than you. After all, I am a seraphim and you are just a cherub."

Ivar rolled his eyes.

Several people walked towards the plane returning to Tianming headquarters.

"Honestly, Ivar, you may not have much time left. The radiation from the Honkai Prelude, which is enough to catalyze the birth of the Herrscher, is too destructive to your body."

"[Black Abyss] has no fear of death."

"Haha...don't worry. If one day you die and Siegfried and Cocolia are still alive, I will definitely carry their heads to burn incense for you."

Chapter 26: Competition with Yulandel

The riot was thus quelled. Although an accident had occurred, the records of the instruments in the assessment device could still be used as the judgment results of the Valkyrie assessment. However, as compensation for the accident, Destiny allowed the Valkyries who failed the practical assessment to have a chance to retake the exam.

The time for the make-up exam will be determined at a later date. After all, some Valkyries were injured in this turmoil, and several Valkyries were judged to have lost their qualifications as Valkyries and no longer have the ability to go to the battlefield.

Because of Kiana's outstanding performance in this turmoil, the Mandate Headquarters immediately approved Kiana's rating as an A-level Valkyrie, which was approved personally by Bishop Otto Apokalis.

Before leaving to return to the Sky Mandate headquarters, Yulandel approached Kiana and asked, "Kiana, how long do you plan to stay in Saint Freya?"

Maria was not there because she was taken away by the Shaniyat family who rushed over as soon as the unrest was quelled, but the specific reason was not made public to the outside world. Only the top leaders knew the truth. The Valkyries of Saint Freya only knew that she had to return to the Shaniyat family immediately because of an urgent matter.

"How long...? Lady Yulandel, what do you mean?" Kiana tilted her head, a little confused by Yulandel's words.

"...Don't be too restrained in front of me, Kiana." Yulandel's expression suddenly became a little complicated, but soon she said seriously, "I am just considering your future. Senior Theresa's Saint Freya... Well, in my opinion, the management is still a little too loose, and the monitoring of some equipment and Valkyrie data is not as complete as the headquarters."

"Eh? You mean..."

"I want you to come back to the headquarters with me. If you are willing, you can also serve as a member of the Immortal Blade and fight with me." Yulandel frankly admitted her act of poaching. "I believe that if you stay at the headquarters, you can get more resources. I think I can also play a role in guiding you on some training issues."

Mei, who had come here with Kiana, narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Kiana with a complicated look, while Bronya beside her sighed softly.

"I..." Kiana didn't expect that the legendary Valkyrie of Destiny would personally invite her to join her team. Destiny's strongest Valkyrie team today, the Unbreakable Blade, their predecessor was the Snow Wolf team which was disbanded after the Second Collapse due to a sharp decrease in the number of people.

She used to worry that Maria would come looking for her, and that her past, which was shrouded in mystery, would reveal its tip of the iceberg. In fact, the tip of the iceberg was indeed revealed. The Shanyat family had other plans for her. Maria wanted to take her back to her destiny, and her father Siegfried was willing to take advantage of the turmoil in St. Freya to take her away.

So, does Yulandel in front of us have the same purpose as Maria?

Kiana stared at the girl in front of her. She was still hesitant. She didn't know Yulandel's purpose. If she agreed rashly, she might walk into a trap. But the girl's eyes were so sincere that she knew that she was really considering her.

"...I'm sorry, Lady Yulandel, I don't think I need to go to the Destiny Headquarters yet." Kiana finally gave her answer, "I still think that the environment of Saint Freya may be more suitable for me."

Yulandel looked at Kiana and was silent for a while before she spoke: "Kiana... I believe in your choice and respect your ideas, but I am also waiting for the day when you come to the Destiny headquarters."

"Yes, I will." Kiana nodded and said.

【Tsk tsk...】

"What are you tutting?"

[I wonder when she will tie you back to destiny. ]

"Huh? How could you think of Lady Yulandel like this? Even if you can't get her, you wouldn't kidnap her to save her fate, right?"

While Kiana was bickering with Feng in her mind, Yulandel spoke again: "In that case, before I leave, I would like to have a little competition with you as my training opponent, is that okay?"

"Eh? Me?"

"Well, your results are good enough, but when you were helping others and shining in the examination field, I was unable to see you fight in person because I had to deal with the awakened emperor-level Honkai beast. So, I wanted to have a little competition with you, just to bring this examination to a close." Yulandel said.

Kiana was stunned for a moment, then said with full fighting spirit: "Of course no problem, let me see what the strongest S-class Valkyrie looks like!"

[Oh? Are you sure? Even if you just got promoted, you are still only an A-level Valkyrie. Whether it is combat experience or training intensity, Youlandel is far superior to you.]

"Hey? The fight hasn't even started yet, why are you just trying to encourage others?"

[I am just explaining the situation to you. Youlandel is different from you. She has received systematic Valkyrie training since she was a child. You also know that she fought for more than 30 days without sleep and cleared all the Honkai beasts in an area.]

"Of course I know that."

While Kiana was talking to Feng in her heart, she looked at Yulandel opposite her and smiled confidently.

"But I didn't compete with her for the purpose of winning. I said it at the beginning. I also want to become an S-class Valkyrie, and even surpass Lady Yulandel. But having a goal is not enough. Isn't this a good opportunity for me to truly realize the gap between me and Lady Yulandel?"

A light laugh came from his mind, and after a while, Feng said: [This is Kiana, then go ahead, head for higher peaks. Even if you don’t have the amount of training that Yulandel has, I believe you will not be inferior to her. ]

"You finally said something sensible!"

Kiana snorted in her heart, and then said to Yulandel: "Then, Lord Yulandel, how exactly will this competition be conducted?"

Yulandel thought for a moment, then said, "Although I know from Senior Theresa that you now have the same God-killing armor as me, it is only a sparring match after all, so there is no need to use them. Let's just use the normal training clothes and weapons for the competition."

"it is good."

The news that Kiana was going to compete with Yulandel did not spread too far. After all, Saint Freya was in ruins and was being rebuilt, and it would not be a good idea for everyone to join in the fun at this time. So Theresa specially prepared a training room for the two of them to compete.

As Bronya and Mei were members of the fifth team with Kiana, they naturally wanted to watch the battle as well. After they arrived at the monitoring room, Cheng Lixue and Fu Hua also came here.

"Eh? Are the squad leader and Master Cheng Lixue here too?" Mei said with some surprise.

“After all, this is Saint Freya’s first student who fought against the strongest S-class Valkyrie in Destiny. She has a very high reference value.” Fu Hua said seriously and took out her notes.

Meiyi: "..."

The monitor is still as serious as ever...

Cheng Lixue looked at Fu Hua and said with a smile: "This is also the first time I see Yulandel taking the initiative to invite people to join the Undying Blade. Yulandel is not wrong. Classmate Kiana does have many good points."

When Mei heard these words, she was happy for Kiana from the bottom of her heart at first, but then she felt a little lost. The more outstanding Kiana was, the more it showed how far away she was from her... If she continued like this, could she really catch up with Kiana?

If this continues, when he and Bronya can no longer catch up with Kiana and become a burden to her, will Kiana just leave and join the Undying Blade? After all, the Undying Blade gathers all the outstanding Valkyries selected from various branches of Destiny...

Just as Mei was daydreaming, Bronya reminded her: "They have started."

In the training room, the two of them circled each other for a while, and then Kiana took the lead in attacking. Until now, Kiana still had some tentative thoughts, and only used her half-baked Kaslana gun fighting skills to fight against Yulandel, but she soon faced the reality.

After urgently pulling away, Kiana said in surprise: "You also know Kaslana gun fighting?"

"...I read about it in a book, and I learned it because it was helpful in fighting Honkai beasts." Yulandel said, "But you, Kiana, your Kaslana Spear Fighting Technique doesn't seem to be complete? Didn't the senior who taught you Kaslana Spear Fighting Technique... teach you seriously?"

"...Maybe there isn't enough time?" Kiana said this. After all, her father Siegfried only taught her Kaslana spear fighting for a year. Although she learned very quickly, her father didn't seem to be very willing to let her study in depth. He just let her learn enough.

"not enough time?"
