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

"So you're going to do nothing?"

"Then what can I do?" Theresa tried to keep her tone calm. "What can you do, Siegfried? Think about it carefully. Can you go straight to the Skyport and force the Shaniyatt family to hand over the people? I'm afraid that by then, at least three or more S-level Shaniyatt family members will block you, and you will also face the firepower of the entire Skyport. Siegfried, everything is over."

Chapter 39 Discipline

"No, I absolutely don't agree!" Yulandel stood up from her seat with her hands on the table and said, "Grandpa, why? Kiana..."

"She is not Kiana, but just your copy numbered K423. You are the real Kiana, the real daughter of Cecilia, my granddaughter." Leopold said with a sigh.

Before he chose to confess everything to Yulandel, he also went through a lot of ideological struggles and observed for a period of time. He found that Yulandel's concern for Kiana was beyond his imagination. If he did not tell Yulandel the truth, if he continued like this, in the end... it would only add to the sadness.

It might even cause some adverse effects on Yulandel's psychology, which was something Leopold did not want to see.

So, under Otto's arrangement, he found a time to briefly explain Yulandel's life experience and everything about Kiana.

However, what puzzled Leopold was that Yulandel seemed to have no surprise about her own life experience. Did she recover her memory? But how did she recover it? She was lucky enough not to suffer any serious injuries after falling from thousands of meters high, but the lost memory was not successfully restored by Otto or the Shaniat family no matter how hard they tried.

"Resurrecting ancestor Lucifer... Don't we have any other way?" Yulandel clenched her hands. For a moment, she couldn't think of how to refute her grandfather. Reason told her that if ancestor Lucifer was resurrected, mankind's chances of winning against Honkai would undoubtedly increase greatly, but the price would be the disappearance of Kiana, which was something Yulandel could not accept.

"The Shaniyat family has been waiting for this opportunity for thousands of years." Leopold said, "And K423 is another way we found. Kiana, you know, she was prepared to replace you, who was originally going to be the vessel for Lord Lucifer's revival. This is the mission she was given from the beginning of her birth."

"I believe that even Lucifer would not agree to such a thing!" That was all Yulandel could say.

"Maybe." Leopold raised his head slightly and looked into the distance. "Lord Lucifer has always been watching Shaniyate and has never been reluctant to give us his power. But... Kiana, you have to understand one thing. When a person shoulders the mission of saving the world and the concerns of everyone, his life and death are no longer decided by him alone."

Youlandel was silent.

"Lady Alysia is still waiting for his return. The long-cherished wish of the Shaniyat family is to bring this ancestor who should not have disappeared in time back to the present world. Humanity needs his existence to fight against the future of collapse..." Leopold closed his eyes, "Kiana, you are a sensible child, you should understand what this means. Perhaps Lord Lucifer will be merciful and disagree with this way of reviving him, but this is our only way at the moment. We need him, and the world needs him."

What's more, the legendary Lord Lucifer only cares about Lady Alicia. Apart from other heroes in the same group, Lord Lucifer may not remember the lives and even the names of most other people.

Could it be that K423 is the exception?

Although Maria explained that when she was about to take action against K423, she received a stern warning that was suspected to be from Lord Lucifer, but that was most likely Lord Lucifer's rebuke for her actions in Saint Freya. How could K423, an experimental subject, possibly gain the favor of Lord Lucifer?

Even if this is possible, this matter has been agreed upon by those people, and even Lady Alicia has not expressed any opinion on it.

Things have already happened, and no one can change the outcome of this matter.

"Since I was the vessel for Lucifer's resurrection in the beginning, can't you just leave this matter to me?" Yulandel said, "Qiana should also have her own life. She is a living person, not a machine without emotions."

"What about you, Kiana, my child?" Leopold asked back, "Shouldn't you have your own life? You shouldn't love others before loving yourself, my child! K423 was originally created as a substitute so that you can have your own life. Now you want to change it back. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"Then why..." Yulandel wanted to continue speaking, but all her words suddenly stopped. She looked at her grandfather in silence. At this moment, she figured out one thing. Resurrecting the ancestor Lucifer was the long-cherished wish of the Shaniyat family for thousands of years. Just as the bishop was now trapped in the obsession of resurrecting the Saint Kallen, the entire Shaniyat family had been firmly bound by the sad wish of "resurrecting the ancestors."

No one can shake their determination to resurrect their ancestors. Perhaps for some people in the upper echelons, they don't care who the container is. They just want a container that can allow their ancestors to return. Their grandfather Leopold doesn't want to bear all that, so Kiana was born.

This matter is no longer about right or wrong.

"I hope you understand my painstaking efforts, child." Leopold sighed deeply. "Well, let's stop here. What I want to know now is whether you have recovered your past memories. If so, when did you recover?"

Yulandel slowly sat back in the chair and said, "Yes, as you said, I have recovered my past memories not long ago."

"Is that so..." Leopold smiled slightly. "Although I also think that it might be a good thing for you not to recover those memories, but it is not a bad thing to recover them. After all, the past is an inseparable part of a person's life."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you right away."

"It's okay, my child. I understand your thoughts." Leopold said, "I won't ask too many questions. If you are willing to tell me these things, I am willing to listen. If you are not willing, I will not ask. I just hope that you can think more about yourself and think about the current situation carefully."

Youlan Daier lowered her eyes: "I... understand your painstaking efforts, but..."

"This matter has become a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it." Leopold reminded Yulandel again, "The entire Shaniyat family has been preparing for this for a long time."

If I really want to oppose all this, I am afraid that I will have to face the fighting power of the entire Shaniyat family...

In fact, Yulandel was quite clear about the fighting power of the Shanyiat family. Maybe it was because she was originally from the Shanyiat family, so the bishop sometimes did not have too many taboos about her.

For example, she knew that the two strongest fighters in the current Tianming Shaniyat family were Aunt Maria and Ludwig. In addition, the strength of Angelica, Ivar, Elias and Olivia should not be underestimated. The strength of the four of them was at least at the level of top A-level Valkyries. Then there were Sariel and Misterine, who she had only seen on the list...

Conservatively speaking, they might be even stronger than Ludwig, so much so that the bishop never even uses their power.

And then there is that Elly Shaniat...

Youlan Daier had an inexplicable feeling. Could it be that the unfathomable Ai Li... was the ancestor of Ai Lishia herself? After all, her grandfather's words also hinted that the ancestor of Ai Lishia was still alive.

As for Ludwig and Maria, if he fought with all his strength, he might not be at a disadvantage. Aunt Maria often took time out to be his sparring partner, so he was quite familiar with them. But it was hard to say about Senior Ludwig. He seldom took action in front of him, so there were too many uncertainties. And above them were Sariel and Mistelline. It was almost impossible to win in a head-on confrontation.

After finishing the conversation with her grandfather, Yulandel walked alone in the Tianming Airport in silence. She felt that she had never felt so confused before.

Just as she was wandering around aimlessly, she suddenly found Kiana who was standing on a high place looking into the distance. After hesitating for a moment, she walked forward.

Not knowing whether the other party knew the fate she was about to face, Yulandel wanted to see what Kiana herself was thinking, and... out of guilt towards Kiana, she wanted to say a few more words to Kiana.

"Kiana." Yulandel was the first to greet.

"Bianca?" Qiana was a little surprised by Yulandel's appearance, but she still smiled and said, "Good afternoon."

Yulandel stood beside Kiana, looking at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance with her. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Kiana... I mean, if... your identity is not just the carrier of the core of the Herrscher of the Void..."

"In fact, it is the vessel for the return of the ancestor of the Shaniyat family, Lord Lucifer Shaniyat, right?" Kiana said very calmly, "You already know? Did Mr. Leopold tell you?"

"So, you actually..."

"Well, I already knew this when I was brought back to the Fate Airport." Kiana looked at Yulandel, "Of course... it also includes your life experience... I'm really sorry that I have occupied your name for so many years."

"That's not the case. I've never minded it. If you need a name, then what if I give you the name Kiana?" Yulandel said, "Besides, so much time has passed. This name is already closely related to the life you are experiencing now. It already belongs to you."

"But all this should belong to you." Kiana said softly.

"They didn't restrict your actions. I think I can still help Principal Theresa. If you want..."

"But then, wouldn't you be the container?" Kiana said, "There's no need to think about me like this. I've already spent several years of my life, and now I'm just completing the mission I was given since I was born. I'm already very satisfied to have experienced this period of time as Kiana. It was you and Mr. Siegfried who saved me and gave me the opportunity to embrace my own life. At least this time, let me have a chance to repay you, okay?"

"Kiana..."

Yulandel wanted to say something, but Ludwig's voice came from behind: "Bianca, there is an adult who wants to see you. Come with me now."

Yulandel turned around and saw Ludwig standing there with his arms folded. She looked at Kiana again, and Kiana just nodded, indicating that she didn't need to worry about her. Yulandel gritted her teeth in her heart and left with Ludwig.

After watching Yulandel leave, Kiana looked away. The faint smile she had maintained before turned into an expressionless face. At this moment, the voice of the Herrscher of the Void kept ringing in her mind.

"Such a good opportunity, why don't you take advantage of it! With my power, you can easily leave this damn place!"

"Leave, and then give you control of my body? I tell you, don't dream. I've said it before, Second Herrscher, as long as I'm here, my body will be your cage, and you won't be able to take a single step out!"

the other side.

Yulandel followed Ludwig all the way into the depths of the Destiny Airport. The light around them gradually dimmed as they moved forward.

"Is this... the forbidden area of ​​the Destiny Airport? Is there someone in here who wants to see me?" Yulandel thought to herself. In the darkness around her that was so oppressive that it almost made people hold their breath unconsciously, her inner alertness also increased significantly.

"Master Discipline, the person has been brought here." When we reached the end with Ludwig, Ludwig knelt on one knee and said.

Yulandel looked up. In the darkness, only the dim candlelight could help her see that the person Ludwig reported was dressed as a nun.

"Bianca? I've heard of you from Otto and Leopold. Please come forward and let me take a good look at you, child." The other party's voice was as gentle as water, and when Yulandel heard the voice, she subconsciously walked forward. When she realized that something was wrong, she had already come in front of the nun.

The nun looked at her carefully and said, "You are very similar to Cecilia... But like every Kaslana, you are sometimes too enthusiastic. Bianca, child, please put aside your concern for Kiana and continue to live as a child of the Shaniat family."

Yulandel subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly found that something seemed to interfere with her thinking, making her feel that the nun was right and want to do as she said.

She tried her best to resist this unknown force, but the nun continued: "Please don't resist. I won't hurt you."

Yulandel's eyes gradually began to become blurry, but she still retained the last bit of clarity with her own will. She was still unwilling to accept the arrangement from the nun, but the other party seemed not to give up until all her inner resistance was completely destroyed. She used a gentle tone to [ask] her to let go again and again until she was completely unable to resist.

Chapter 40: The Real Purpose

"Hi, good morning, Mebius?"

Hearing Alicia's voice, Mebius turned his gaze from the experimental data in his hand to Alicia: "Alisa, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you just came to say good morning to me."

"Oh, Mebius, your words really make me sad. Can't I just come and say good morning to you if I have nothing to do?" Alicia said with a shrug.

"Heh... do you believe that?" Mobius said sarcastically, "It seems that the upcoming return of Yu Feng has made you feel much better. Just say whatever you want to say, Alicia."

"Although I don't like to admit it, I came to you to confirm something." Alicia's smile gradually faded, "Mebius, you actually have other plans about Feng's return that you haven't told me yet, right?"

Mebius narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Haven't I already told you about my plan? We've confirmed the container, and now we just need to wait until everything is ready to bring Yu Feng back from the desert of time!"

"Is that really all?" Alicia's tone became meaningful. "Mobius, you know, Feng also needs my assistance when he returns. I am the anchor point that guides him to completely locate the coordinates of the intrinsic world when he returns. There are some things that I am not completely unaware of."

Mebius looked at Alicia. She was wondering if Alicia was cheating her, but she also felt that there was no need for Alicia to cheat her. If Alicia could come to her at this time, she must have obtained some information.

But this was indeed within her expectations. After all, Alicia was the holder of the [Future]. With her identity as the former Ruler of the Origin, she still had a faint connection with that person. It was not surprising that she knew some things.

Seeing that Mebius was silent, Alicia continued, "The body is just a container for consciousness. According to Otto's plan and the plan you have told us at this stage, why does the so-called container only exist between Bianca and Kiana? If only one of them is used as a 'door', then the two of them don't need to worry about their disappearance at all, right? What's more, the basis of Feng's return plan is the Stigmata Plan, and the Stigmata of the Shaniyat family..."

"That's enough. No need to say more, Alicia." Mobius pressed his forehead and said, "My research is based on the premise of the Shanyat family's stigma mutation. You should probably ask your and Feng's daughter Mavis, whose whereabouts are unknown, about the root of everything. Of course, how much Lilim was involved in this is probably only known to the two sisters themselves."

Speaking of Mavis, Alicia's eyes dimmed a little. Mavis's sudden death and Lilith's disappearance were a huge blow to her. She still felt heartbroken when she mentioned them again today.

She didn't know how much Feng knew about this, but she often wondered how to tell him about Mavis when Feng came back. Then she remembered one of the reasons that prompted her to come to find Mebius, which was that she found something wrong in the holy scar space of the Shaniyat family.

"Anyway, you will know by then. As one of the two ancestors of the Shaniyat family and the actual controller of the Shaniyat family's stigmata, you will definitely know some things by then." Mobius turned his gaze back to the experimental data in his hand, "For example, the appearance of Sariel, you and I know very well who she is, and the principle of her appearance must be related to Yu Feng. I will explain things to you directly. What we need is not a 'container', but a 'sacrifice'."

"Is that really the case..." Alysia thought, "Maple was denied existence by the Cocoon. The world is resisting his return and erasing all traces of his existence. One of the projects in the Stigmata Project is to use the Stigmata as a medium to recompile the logic of the world. It wants to counter the power of the Cocoon and the laws of the world and bring Maple back. The Stigmata Project is an indispensable foundation."

Alicia knew all that Mobius had said, otherwise she would not have gone to the stigmata space of the Shaniyat family before carrying out the plan to confirm that nothing would go wrong. Then, when she was checking the stigmata space of the Shaniyat family, she found something wrong and had some guesses, so she came to Mobius to confirm.

"Yes, as you imagined, Cocoon is constantly trying to erase Feng's traces and make the world resist him. To put it in another way, there is no basic identity for him to exist in this world, and the Stigma Project can provide him with such an identity." Mebius said, "Correspondingly, the price we have to pay is the existence of a 'sacrifice'. Exchanging existence for existence, this is the core content of the whole plan."

"In other words, it doesn't matter whether it's Bianca or Kiana, who is the container, right?" Alicia looked at Mebius and said, "You just need a sacrifice, use the Stigmata Project to erase their existence from the world, and then use this as a basis for Feng to fill this gap and achieve the goal of Feng's complete return."

"Not entirely true. Even 'sacrifices' can be good or bad. Otherwise, do you really think that the vessel I prepared for Yu Feng's return would be a woman?" Mobius said coldly. "Yes, I'm afraid most other people think so too."

"Indeed, I heard that Qianjie and Kiana seem to have a good relationship. If Qianjie knew you were going to do this, you would probably have to become smaller again." Alicia said with some playfulness.

Mebius snorted coldly and did not comment.

"Okay, since you have answered my question, I won't bother you for now." Alicia smiled, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Aliceia." Mebius suddenly spoke again.

Alicia stopped.

"This is just my speculation. Mavis is very likely still alive, and she may even be hiding somewhere in the Shanyat family's stigmata space. But given that girl's personality, it's normal for her to want to hide from you after she did something so big without telling you." Mobius said, "The descendants of the Shanyat family can use the stigmata as a medium to seek power from Yu Feng, and as Mavis is the one who is closest to Yu Feng in terms of blood, she may have seen Yu Feng in some form."

"So... you mean, if Feng returns to his original form, he is fully capable of making Mavis unable to hide anymore, right?" Alicia's tone became emotionless. "But you are right, this is indeed something that the kid could do. What about Lilim?"

"She probably also exists in the stigmata space as a maintainer. I don't know as much about the stigmata space of the Shanyat family as you, the ancestor of the Shanyat family." Mobius said in a light tone, "It's normal that you didn't find it. After all, after that incident, you directly used the [Future] to open up a space and fell asleep, and you basically didn't care about the stigmata of the Shanyat family."

"What a pair of naughty kids..." Alicia lowered her eyes.

"Ailishia, I'm telling you this not only because you will realize these things sooner or later, but I also feel that you have already made your choice and are ready."

"It's not that I have made a choice, but I believe in Feng." Alicia suddenly showed a slightly mysterious smile, "And I have said it before, my use of [Future] is not completely sleeping, although the news you told me today is indeed a bit of a surprise."

Of course, in addition to Feng, there must be a guy who makes her stomach hurt now, who is also watching somewhere. That guy left with Feng at that time, and it is impossible for that guy not to come back with Feng when Feng returns.

"You're not going to settle accounts with Mavis and Lilim now, are you?"

"Those two kids were able to hide from me for thousands of years, so it's definitely not that easy for me to catch them. Let's wait until Feng comes back to educate the kids. Now is the critical time for Feng to come back, and nothing can go wrong with the stigmata." Alicia waved her hand, "What you said really made me think of one thing, that is, I seem to have spoiled Mavis and Lilim too much."

Mobius looked up at the ceiling of the laboratory. It wasn't that Alicia spoiled the two children too much. It should be said that the remaining Yingjies were all spoiling Mavis and Lilim. For example, when Adam was a child, he accidentally broke the first painting that Mavis and Gray were learning to paint. When he went back, Kevin gave him a "love education"...

If things were really as he had guessed, perhaps the root cause was that they had spoiled the two children too much. It was just that before that incident, the two children had always behaved very well and were very obedient, so they did not arouse suspicion.

Mebius's speculation was not without reason, because Mavis's sudden death was too strange, and Lilim's disappearance at the same time made the matter even more confusing.

However, these questions will have answers when Yu Feng returns. At this stage, these things are not the ones she needs to focus on.

the other side.

"Now that you have faced the power of Discipline, you are not still thinking about saving your so-called 'sister', are you?" The faceless girl crossed her legs and sat on the door that had been opened by Yulandel. She looked down at her and said, "If I hadn't helped you a little, you probably wouldn't have been able to get out of that hellhole."

Yulandel looked at the girl in silence, knowing very well in her heart that the girl was right. In that deep place, she used her own will to resist the control from the nun's words, but the other party's power was far beyond her imagination. If it weren't for the girl in the dream who helped her in the end and covered up her true consciousness with what she claimed to be the "false self mask", she might really not be able to get out of that place.

"I……"

"There are many people who want Lucifer to come back. In addition to the nun, there is even Alicia, the ancestor of the Shanyat family, who is stronger than her. You don't think you can beat Alicia, do you?" The girl jumped down, put her hands behind her back and walked slowly to Yulandel's side. "Of course, Alicia's attitude is definitely not as radical as others, but this does not mean that she will allow you to destroy Lucifer's hope of returning."

"I understand very well. That nun should be one of the heroes who lived in the same era as Ancestor Alicia and traveled with Ancestor Lucifer, right?" Yulandel said, "I am indeed far behind them now."

"So do you still want to continue resisting? I can protect you once, but I don't think there will be a second time."

"I still want to give it a try." Yulandel said softly, "She was born to replace me. This is my responsibility and should not be borne by her. I have made a decision."

"so what?"

"I need your strength."

The girl seemed to sneer and said, "How can you be sure that I will help you?"

"I'm not sure, so I can only beg you. The person who saved me was Lucifer, right?" Yulandel looked at the girl and said, "He saved me and sealed my memory to protect me. He asked you to guard here. You must be a very important person to him, so he trusts you so much."
