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

For example, in the previous incident of Anti-Entropy attacking Saint Freya, the Shaniyat family took the responsibility and paid all the costs of repairing Saint Freya and compensating the Valkyrie. This was also noticed by Bronya, who had developed feelings for Saint Freya.

Bronya once again deeply realized that there has never been pure good or pure evil in this world. The Shanyat family can be a demon that destroyed the orphanage, or they can be heroes who stand at the forefront of the fight against the Honkai and are not afraid of sacrifice.

Her own mother, Cocolia, no matter how unwilling she was to accept it, Bronya had to admit that Cocolia was not a perfect or even qualified mother...

Well, if compared with Kiana's father Siegfried, he seems to be better. At least he didn't wander alone from Europe to the Far East at the age of 12.

"Huh?" Kiana turned her gaze to Bronya in confusion. She clearly felt that Bronya's sympathetic gaze, which was originally directed towards Wendy, shifted to her, and when she looked at Bronya, Bronya shifted her gaze back to Wendy.

I don't know why, but I always feel a little uncomfortable being looked at by Bronya like that...

Bronya encouraged Wendy, who seemed a little depressed, by using her own experience of losing both legs. She also contacted Himeko on the Hyperion and asked, "Major Himeko, when we return to Saint Freya, can you find a way to help Wendy take out the Desire Gem from her body?"

"No." Himeko rejected Bronya flatly. "The energy reaction of the Desire Gem is the most unstable among the four gems. If it is taken out of Wendy's body with the current technology of Saint Freya, it will cause an energy explosion. Maybe the next collapse will happen in Saint Freya."

"Really..." Bronya felt very sorry about this and said to Wendy, "Sorry, Wendy, we can't help you for the time being."

"It's okay, Sister Bronya. Protecting human safety is also the duty of the Valkyrie, isn't it?" Wendy said with a smile.

Looking at Wendy, Bronya was reminded of Seele's appearance again, and the guilt in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

At first, he failed to stop Xi'er from participating in the X-10 experiment, and later he couldn't get Xi'er back. Now, a girl who looks very similar to Xi'er appears in front of him, but he has no way to help her...

In a trance, Bronya remembered that before the X-10 experiment, Seele comforted her and said that she would be fine. Bronya could see that Seele was really not that scared, and when she repeatedly watched the video before Seele disappeared, she was just a little surprised at the abnormality of her body, but soon calmed down and gave everyone her last smile.

While Bronya was still reminiscing, Angelica, who had been silent, spoke up: "If we send her back to the Destiny headquarters, they will have a way to take out the Desire Gem."

The Destiny Headquarters? They were originally planning to leave the Desire Gem in Saint Freya, so how could they send Wendy to the headquarters? And the cruel experiment was also initiated by the headquarters, so how could they let Wendy escape from the trap and fall into the tiger's mouth?

Bronya immediately said, "It would be better for Wendy to rest in St. Freya for a while. After all, it seems that the Oceania branch did not take good care of Wendy."

"Sister Bronya..." Wendy's eyes moved.

"I'm only suggesting this based on the premise of taking out the Desire Gem." Angelica said calmly, "However, in order to prevent the Desire Gem from causing greater harm, it's better to store it in a container first."

"Wendy is not a container!" Kiana retorted.

Angelica glanced at Kiana, then immediately looked away: "Yes or no, it's not up to you to decide. It doesn't matter what the process was like. The result is right in front of you."

"Yes, the result is right in front of us..." Wendy murmured helplessly, "A little kindness cannot represent the entire destiny..."

When the group was about to arrive at Hyperion, the Honkai energy monitoring device in everyone's hand suddenly sounded an alarm. The Honkai energy reaction nearby soared to 2000HW. When they turned their eyes to the location where the Honkai energy reaction was emitted, they were surprised to find that the person who issued this reaction was Wendy.

Angelica reacted immediately and stabbed Wendy's heart with a sword, but the next moment a gust of wind pushed everyone back, and Angelica's sword was bounced away by the ideal fluid just before it touched Wendy. The girl in the wheelchair condensed wings from the Honkai energy behind her, and she floated in the air and looked down at everyone.

Chapter 32: Cocolia, do you want to die?

"Why would there be a Herrscher-level Honkai reaction?! Kiana, what happened on your end?!" The sudden change made Theresa, who was on the other end of the communicator, extremely anxious.

"Principal, the A-rank Valkyrie from the former Oceania branch has shown a Herrscher-level Honkai reaction. Considering that a Gem of Desire has been implanted in her calf bone, it is very likely that she has become a Herrscher!" Ji Zi said in a deep voice.

"What……"

Wendy, who had become a Herrscher, used her authority to condense several wind blades and controlled them to fly towards Angelica, who had attacked her first. Angelica, holding a long sword, dispersed all the flying wind blades in a few strokes, and then immediately activated the Valkyrie armor she was equipped with, making herself float in the air and eliminating Wendy's air advantage.

"It's really hard to deal with the A-rank Valkyrie of Destiny now, or is it because you are from the Shanyat family..." Wendy stared at Angelica with her eyes emitting a faint green light. She felt a sense of familiar power in Angelica, as if there was something in Angelica that the Desire Gem in her body desperately wanted.

"It has been confirmed that Wendy, the former A-rank Valkyrie of the Oceania branch, has now reached at least the level of a Pseudo-Hermaphrodite. For safety reasons, it is recommended that she be killed immediately." Angelica reported to Theresa without relaxing her attack on Wendy.

The two of them had already fought several times while Kiana and the other two were still dazed. All of Wendy's attacks were taken head-on by Angelica, but because Wendy was protected by the ideal fluid, Angelica found it difficult to hurt Wendy.

"Judgment result: The Herrscher has just been born, is unfamiliar with the authority, and is weak. Even with the protection of the Ideal Fluid, the Ideal Fluid can be broken after long-term consumption." Angelica methodically delivered her analysis results to Theresa, Kiana and others. Although she had never dealt with an opponent like the Herrscher, just like her initial judgment of Wendy, she had absolute confidence in defeating Wendy.

Even now Wendy has awakened and become a Herrscher.

As a new Herrscher, Wendy is still very weak, but she has the help of the Serenity Gem and the Hypermutation Factor in her body, and her ability to recover from Honkai energy is far better than Wendy's. If the two sides fight a protracted war, Wendy is no match for her at all.

However, if she continued to fight one-on-one like this, she would definitely expose at least one of her trump cards, the Serenity Gem or the Super Mutation Factor. Angelica believed that she could not fully trust Saint Freya, or Theresa, yet, so she still needed the assistance of the three Valkyries on the ground.

No, only Kiana is enough, the other two don't matter.

An opponent of the Herrscher's level is not something a B-class Valkyrie can deal with. During the Second Collapse, Cheng Lixue, who was still an A-class Valkyrie, had a very difficult time fighting against the Pseudo-Hersker of Flame. Although she won in the end, the Valkyrie troops were almost wiped out, and only Cheng Lixue could still stand with the help of her sword.

And the one who appeared in front of everyone now, even if it was not the Fourth Herrscher but just a Pseudo-Herscher, generally speaking, in front of them, a B-rank Valkyrie would be cannon fodder.

Therefore, whether considering the battle situation or being responsible for the safety of the two B-level Valkyries, Angelica did not think they were qualified to participate in this battle.

"Kiana, assist me, let's suppress and consume the target together and kill her before she can fully control her power." Angelica spoke again.

Kiana glanced at Bronya implicitly, and Bronya also turned her eyes to Kiana at this moment. Her eyes contained too much meaning. Kiana gritted her teeth, clenched the double guns in her hands, put on the White Knight Moonlight Suit, and fought Wendy together with Angelica.

"Can my power of the Holy Maiden work on Wendy now? I should have used this to save Mei before, right, Feng?" Kiana said to Feng in her heart. She could see that Bronya was very concerned about Wendy's situation. Although she didn't know why, the way Bronya looked at Wendy was as if she was looking at another person, a person who made Bronya full of regrets.

If Wendy was really killed as Angelica said, Bronya would probably not say anything, but she would probably be very disappointed in her heart.

And Bronya just looked at herself, and she also remembered that it was she who saved Mei from her Herrscher state...

Of course, Kiana also understood one thing. If the purifying effect of the Holy Maiden's power had no effect on Wendy, then for the sake of the safety of everyone in the Oceania branch, Wendy would probably have to be killed.

Wait, so why can’t you wait until the energy is consumed before knocking Wendy out?

[Angelia wanted to fight quickly and save as much strength as possible to avoid having no remaining strength to control the situation when an accident happened. Which do you think is easier to save strength, killing a Herrscher or knocking him out and controlling him?]

"Then he must have been killed..."

Killing means a quick victory, while knocking out and controlling is mainly to contain consumption, but in the process of consumption, you will also be consumed. Compared with the direct goal of taking the opponent's life, the latter is likely to lead to excessive consumption of one's own strength. Even if you win in the end, it will be difficult to deal with unexpected situations that may occur afterwards.

Therefore, Angelica's idea is normal and the safest option.

The premise is that her own saintly power is ineffective.

[Your Saint's power... is indeed useful, but you should also understand that when you use the Saint's power to purify Wendy, your own Honkai energy will also be greatly consumed. The last time you saved Mei, you almost lost consciousness with her. What's more, have you forgotten how you saved Mei? ]

Uh, it seems like we need to get close...

After a brief fight with Wendy, Kiana discovered that there seemed to be a layer of strange gas protection around Wendy. Her and Angelica's attacks would be bounced away when approaching Wendy, causing her to be unable to get close to Wendy at all, and the purification of the power of the saint would not work.

What kind of super invincible turtle shell is this?

[With this level of ideal fluid protection... If you have enough strength, you can just tear it apart...]

"...Do you think anyone here can tear it apart?"

【No. 】

Isn't that a turtle shell?!

Kiana complained inwardly, analyzing the situation at the scene. If they continued on this trend, they would have to break through the protective shield made of the ideal fluid in order to get close to Wendy. But obviously, no one present could do this by force. Then, they could only do as Angelica said, and continue fighting with Wendy to consume her until she did not have enough Honkai energy to maintain the protective shield made of the ideal fluid.

But if I continue like this, my consumption will not be small. Not to mention whether I can purify myself, there is a high probability that I will faint halfway through the purification.

But I don’t want to disappoint Bronya, what should I do…

Kiana was in a dilemma, but she didn't stop moving her hands. After all, her opponent was a Herrscher, and she was an A-class Valkyrie before becoming a Herrscher. Compared to the time when Mei was just a student, the difficulty was definitely different, and she must not take it lightly.

A certain spirit behind the scenes turned his gaze to Bronya and Mei. They didn't have time to watch the battle at the moment. Wendy was fighting with Kiana and Angelica, and they also had to deal with the Honkai beasts that emerged because Wendy became a Herrscher.

Mei's resentment towards Kiana is so great that it is almost materializing. If Kiana does the same thing to Wendy again at this juncture, the Herrscher of Lightning might not be able to hold back and come online to snatch her away.

He now realizes that for Kiana, Mei is her best friend, but not her only one at this stage. However, for Mei, the current Kiana is a bit like that only one.

"So what went wrong?" A certain spirit behind the scenes closed his eyes and stroked his chin in thought, "Didn't I just teach Kiana to be more mature? I always feel that the progress between Kiana, Bronya and Meiyi is not right..."

Forget it, let's worry about this later. Right now we have to see if Cocolia will suddenly jump out to cause trouble. But with Angelica here, even with Cocolia's fragile Titans, they shouldn't be able to cause any trouble. What's more, Kiana is no pushover either. A mere Titan is just scrap metal that can be dealt with in minutes.

Thinking of this, Feng turned his gaze to Angelia. He could feel that the Serenity Gem was inserted into the body of this Shanyat family child. At this moment, the Serenity Gem in her body was quite stable, and it also helped Angelia to quickly recover the consumed Honkai energy. In other words, Angelia can now at least be regarded as a Herrscher of the same level as Wendy. Unlike Wendy, Angelia had the Serenity Gem implanted a long time ago, probably after the incident in Singapore...

Angelica should be better than Wendy in controlling the authority represented by gems.

However, to be on the safe side, Angelica did not use the authority given to her by the Serenity Gem too obviously.

According to the current battle situation, if it continues like this, Angelica can indeed defeat Wendy together with Kiana without using the power of the Serenity Gem. If Cocolia jumps out to cause trouble at that time, Angelica with the power of the Serenity Gem can tear apart all of Cocolia's scrap metal in minutes.

"But I don't know why, but I feel like things are going a little too smoothly..."

Just as the battle entered a white-hot stage, Bronya had already realized that Kiana and Angelica could not get close to Wendy, and Wendy would definitely die if the fight continued. Thinking of Seele's face, Bronya gritted her teeth in her heart and decided to give it a try to awaken the kind part of Wendy's heart.

She believed that just like Mei, Wendy had become like this because her desire for the gem magnified her negative emotions. Judging from the current situation, Wendy should have had plenty of opportunities to hit the wind blade at herself or Mei, but Wendy didn't. It was obvious that Wendy had no intention of hurting herself or Mei.

Bronya took a deep breath. She had made up her mind. She had to give it a try no matter what...

"Wendy, stop fighting. Bronya believes that this is definitely not your intention." Bronya looked up and said to the three people who were fighting upstairs.

Wendy paused for a moment, as if she wanted to stop her attack. Angelica didn't intend to miss this opportunity, and raised her sword to chop at Wendy, but Kiana stretched out her hand to block Angelica.

Angelica's eyes flashed, and she did not continue to insist, but stopped her actions neatly.

Seeing that the two A-rank Valkyries who were fighting with her just now suddenly stopped, Wendy subconsciously wanted to take this opportunity to continue chasing them, but just as her right hand was about to rise, she stopped it abruptly.

"Heh... is this an excuse for begging for mercy because you can't win?" Wendy said with a hint of sarcasm.

Angelica's face was calm, as if she didn't take this seriously. Kiana was not angry either. They could all see that Wendy had at least stopped her original killing intent. Kiana was thinking that if Bronya's words were successful, then everyone would be happy. Angelica was thinking that if Wendy could be convinced, the combat power of a controllable Herrscher would indeed be a significant boost to Destiny, so she was willing to stop attacking and give Wendy and Bronya a chance.

After all, the Shaniyat family isn't some kind of devil...

Seeing that both sides had stopped fighting, Bronya knew that this was an opportunity that Kiana had created for her, and she absolutely could not let Kiana down. She went on to say to Wendy, "Wendy, Bronya believes in you. It was definitely not your original intention to become like this in order to protect everyone and endure all the pain silently. Don't be bewitched by the Desire Gem, and don't just give up hope. When we return to Saint Freya, Bronya and the principal will definitely find a way to help you recover your legs, and Bronya will always believe in you!"

"Sister Bronya..." Wendy's expression wavered a little, "Are you really... willing to believe me?"

Indeed, although she was consumed by resentment at that moment, she was unable to harbor hostility towards Bronya, the girl who offered her kindness without any disguise.

Because of this, Bronya briefly awakened her consciousness of the kind-hearted Wendy.

"Of course." Bronya said firmly.

Wendy dispersed most of the Honkai energy around her that was keeping her suspended, allowing herself to land on the ground in a manner similar to standing, and slowly floated in front of Bronya. Angelica and Kiana also landed on the ground shortly afterwards.

In order to avoid irritating Wendy, they all chose to stand far away.

"Sister Bronya, I..."

Before Wendy finished speaking, a strange color suddenly flashed in Bronya's eyes.

At this moment, a long-lost voice sounded in Bronya's mind: "Bronya, my obedient daughter, go help your mother do what you should do. The highest authority command, enter the exclusion mode immediately!"

As soon as these words fell, the light in Bronya's eyes seemed to disappear. She immediately ordered the Heavy-Armored Bunny to raise the cannon at Wendy and then opened fire.

Wendy's pupils shrank: "Sister Bronya, why..."

A blue lightning blocked Wendy and Bronya, helping Wendy block the attack, but the sparks still flew past Wendy.

It was Kiana. With the help of a spirit behind her, she noticed Bronya's abnormality at the first moment and shot in time to stop Bronya's attack on Wendy.

After Feng reminded Kiana, he seemed to have realized something. He shifted his gaze to the distance, with a brief look of surprise on his face, and then he lowered his eyes. He had realized that the insurance on Angelica's side might not work now, and Kiana would be in an extremely dangerous situation afterwards.

He sighed softly, as if talking to himself, or as if giving an ultimatum:

"Cocolia, do you really...want to die so much?"

Chapter 33 Confirmation

Feng stood like a ghost on the battlefield where the Herrscher, Destiny, and Anti-Entropy were fighting. No, it was not so much a three-way battle as it was Destiny fighting against Anti-Entropy and the Herrscher at the same time.

He looked at Angelica in the distance, whom he thought was the safety of this operation. At the moment, she was being restrained by an old friend of his. Of course, if Sakura was willing to use all her strength, Angelica would be killed by Sakura before she even noticed Sakura approaching.

After all, no matter what, Sakura's full-strength attack can freeze time, and Angelica is still a long way from that level.

But at the moment, Sakura had no intention of fighting Angelica with all her strength. She just wanted to hold Angelica back so that she could not support Kiana.

As for Kiana...

Because Cocolia activated the highest authority command of the chip in Bronya's brain, causing Bronya to attack Wendy, Wendy, who had originally regained a little human rationality, was once again overcome by her inner hatred under this sudden "betrayal". As a Herrscher, she prioritized attacking Kiana, who posed the greatest threat, based on her own judgment. On the Anti-Entropy side, Bronya, who was controlled by Cocolia, also besieged Kiana together with the Titan troops.

Among the people currently present, except for Angelica who was restrained by Sakura and had no way to provide support, the strongest one was Kiana. Wendy's current condition was not very good because she had been beaten in a women's doubles match by Angelica and Kiana before.

Cocolia's plan was obvious at a glance. She first defeated Kiana together with the Herrscher, and then ordered Bronya and the enhanced Quantum Titan to recover the over-consumed Wendy.

As for Mei...

Ahem, she was knocked unconscious by Titan's sneak attack the first time, and with Mei's current state, she can't join the battle at this stage unless she awakens into the Herrscher of Thunder.

It’s very troublesome…

He thought so.

Where or when did she reveal her flaws, and let others find out? Grayshu promised not to tell others, so it must not be Grayshu. Or, was it just Sakura's attempt to use Cocolia's actions to forcefully test Kiana or herself?

When Kiana failed to purify Mei with the Power of the Saint, he had already realized that it was Sakura who had tampered with her nearby, interfering with Kiana and causing the purification to fail.

So, was this actually a lucky coincidence?

If she must continue to conceal it, she just needs to watch what happens next. Cocolia can't cause much effective damage to Kiana. Sakura just wants to use Angelica to achieve her purpose of testing Kiana. It is impossible for her to watch Kiana being hurt by Cocolia.

But... there are some things that Kiana may have to face. As Grayshu said before, it is only a matter of time before she is discovered by others.
