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

Besides that, isn’t it about time for Yulandel to take action?

Although she might be trapped by the [Discipline], there is a way to break it.

[Commandments] may be the shackles that the forerunner put on her, but to some extent they are also a kind of protection for her.

Kiana walked in front. Yulandel hadn't come to see her much in the past few days. Although according to Kiana's own judgment, this was not in line with Yulandel's character, but even if the other party really decided to distance herself, Kiana would not have any objection. The most realistic situation might be that the Shanyat family had confined her to her house.

It's good that she doesn't have more contact with me. I'm just doing what I should do. She shouldn't have known all this.

The only thing that Kiana is worried about now is whether Yulandel will stick to her guns and do something at this juncture today. After all, when she said she wanted to give herself up, her tone and eyes were very serious and firm, which made Kiana know at a glance that she would not give up this idea easily.

Just like when I was about to be taken away from the lab...

Then, through the investigation of a certain spirit behind the scenes who is currently offline, she found that he is indeed a little different from the legendary Lucifer, but also more real. It made her realize that heroes are not necessarily perfect, and may even dislike or deny themselves.

He must have known these truths, but he still chose to teach and guide himself carefully. If he was really as arrogant and close to indifferent as the legend said, he would not have needed to communicate with himself at all.

But maybe there are some things that he can't decide.

When a person carries the hopes of everyone, when a person carries the mission of saving the world, his or her life and death are no longer decided by themselves.

Lucifer is like this, isn’t it the same for me?

It’s just that the hope he carries is the hope of everyone who wants Lucifer to return, and the mission he carries is to fulfill everyone’s expectation that Lucifer will come back to save the world.

Thinking about it this way, Feng seems to be quite miserable. He has been dead for tens of thousands of years and still has to be dragged out to work...

However, at least Feng really has someone who loves him deeply and is looking forward to his return. That Ali Shaniat is basically confirmed to be the ancestor Alicia Shaniat herself.

After all, Feng did say that he owed Ellie a lot, and judging by the time period in which Lucifer existed, Ellie's appearance, and the related legends, there is no doubt that Ellie is the ancestor of Alicia herself.

Then, based on this, a new question extended to Kiana's thought network, that is, what is the relationship between Teacher Gray Shu and Feng? If she is the container, then logically speaking, the only person who can talk to Feng should be herself, but Teacher Gray Shu and Feng both said that they had met Teacher Gray Shu when she was a child.

After investigating the legends about Lucifer over the past few days, Kiana seriously suspected that Teacher Gray Shu was one of the savior heroes who had traveled with Lucifer.

As for the age issue, even Bishop Otto can live for 500 years and it seems that he can live for a few hundred more years. What's more, his squad leader Fu Hua is the Red Kite Immortal himself, and the Red Kite Immortal is also suspected to be one of the savior heroes traveling with Lucifer, so...

It's possible that none of the heroes who saved the world died except Lucifer.

If we reason further, the deeper truth is probably that Otto has reached a cooperation with those pioneers. In other words, if Yulandel wants to save herself, she will most likely have to get past those heroes of the same generation as Lucifer. Kiana really doesn't think Yulandel can be their opponent.

After being brought back to the Sentient Headquarters, Kiana once tried to ask Fu Hua to fight her with all her strength, but the conclusion was that there was no possibility for her to beat Fu Hua at all.

Thinking of this, Kiana felt a slight pain in her arm. She really wanted the squad leader to use all her strength...

When they arrived at the laboratory, Kiana's eyes fell directly on one of them, and then she widened her eyes as if she had seen something incredible: "Lady Cecilia?"

Outside the Destiny Airport, inside the Hyperion.

"Today is probably the day that grandpa is going to implement his plan. These days, Destiny Airport refuses any outsiders from entering, and the elite members of the Shaniyat family in various places are also on high alert for Anti-Entropy." Theresa looked at the distance between the Hyperion and Destiny Airport on the screen, and said as if talking to herself.

Anti-Entropy diverted the attention of the Shanyatid family to prevent all of the Shanyatid family's elite from concentrating on the Destiny Airport. From the news he had received, Ludwig had already met Siegfried. Since Ludwig, one of the two S-class members of Shanyatid, had already appeared, the only one stationed at Destiny was Maria.

With the cooperation of Yulandel, the probability of success is not low.

But... Theresa still felt a little uneasy. Ludwig and Maria were the S-class members of the Shanyat family who appeared most frequently in public. But what if the Shanyat family really had some unused cards?

Theresa placed her hand on Judas who was on the side.

After all, she was once an S-class Valkyrie, and her Blood Knight Armor was used to suppress the Vishnu factor in her body. If necessary, even at the cost of her life, she would not hesitate to completely release the power of Vishnu in her body to exchange for the lives of her two children.

"Kiana, Bianca...I hope you are all okay..."

the other side.

Ludwig looked at Siegfried, who looked like a ghost, with a sneer on his face, and said, "Siegfried, you look like this. Why don't you just stay in the doghouse that Anti-Entropy prepared for you and wait for death? Why are you so impatient to come to me and die?"

"Heh... If I hadn't appeared here, how could I have allowed you, the strongest fighter of the Shaniyat family, to come here?" Siegfried said with a forced smile.

Ludwig Shaniat was a contemporary of him and Cecilia. At that time, many people in Tianming were dissatisfied and puzzled by his relationship with Cecilia. If he remembered correctly, Ludwig was recognized by almost everyone as Cecilia's future partner. After all, he was not S-level at that time. In everyone's eyes, only Ludwig, who was also S-level, was a good match for Cecilia.

Of course, the one who had hunted him down the most ruthlessly over the years was Ludwig. As long as he showed up in public, he would basically be able to lure Ludwig over. Although the main reason might be that Ludwig was the only one who could be sure of killing him, even if Ivar fought him with all his strength in the end, both would suffer losses.

After all, Ludwig was not among Cecilia's suitors at all, and he was a ruthless tasker like Ivar.

"That's good... Lead the most difficult Ludwig away. Ivar is still recovering from his injuries and can't fight at his full strength... Theresa, it's up to you now."

Chapter 43: The Battle of Destiny Breaks Out

Destiny Airport.

Under the cover of the mechas sent by Anti-Entropy Tesla and others, the Hyperion, where Theresa and others were, finally broke through the outer defense line of Destiny Airport and successfully landed at Destiny Airport. However, Theresa did not relax at all. She knew that all this was just the beginning.

What they broke through was only the automatic defense system outside the Destiny Airport. Inside the Destiny Airport, the long-awaited Valkyrie of the Shaniyat family was Hyperion's real opponent.

If it were any other Valkyrie, perhaps they could suppress or stun them, but the enemy in front of them was a Valkyrie from the Shanyat family. It was very difficult to suppress them all without hurting them...

At least that's the case for the other Hyperion people who landed on Destiny Airport this time.

"I will attract the attention of the Shanyat family for you. Mei, Wendy, Bronya, you will be led by Himeko to invade the research institute at the headquarters, find Kiana's location, and then bring her back." Theresa slammed Judas to the ground, and the chain gun equipped on Judas also unfolded.

If the current situation had not forced her, Theresa would not have wanted to go to war with the Shanyat family, who had been standing on the front line fighting to protect humanity... Fortunately, she still had Judah in her hands. Unlike Siegfried's Holy Fire Judge, who could only destroy, Judah could suppress the Shanyat family without harming the Valkyries.

Ji Zi and the others behind him looked at each other and nodded without saying anything more. While the battle between Theresa and the Valkyries of the Shaniyat family broke out, they quickly broke through the defense line of the patrolling Destiny Divine Machines and entered the research institute area of ​​the Destiny Airport.

Theresa had already explained these arrangements when we came here. Theresa certainly had her reasons for making such arrangements. Although the Far East Branch had declared independence from Mandate under Theresa's command, the number of people that the Far East Branch could send to invade Mandate Airport this time was not large.

Compared to the Shaniyat Valkyries stationed at the Satori headquarters, even Himeko's combat experience may not be as rich as theirs, not to mention that Himeko's health is not very good due to the side effects of the artificial stigmata.

In addition to the team led by Ji Zi, the Far East Branch also sent out other Valkyries, but in this battle, the main task of these Valkyries was to defend Hyperion and ensure the retreat.

"Everything is up to you, Jizi." Theresa said silently in her heart.

Of course, the Valkyries of the Shaniyat family also discovered the actions of Himeko and others. While calling for support, they tried to break through Theresa's restraint and chase Himeko, but Theresa had made up her mind not to let them leave.

"Judas's Oath...Rated power zero, Divine Grace Barrier, deploy!"

Expand the range of the Divine Grace Barrier and weaken its suppressive power. In this way, there will be no need to worry about casualties within the Divine Grace Barrier.

Just when Theresa was gaining the upper hand due to the suppression of the Divine Grace Barrier and gradually completed the suppression of the Valkyrie of the Shaniyat family, a spear was thrown from outside the barrier. Although Theresa discovered it at the first time, she herself was affected to a certain extent in the Divine Grace Barrier, which caused her to dodge a little slowly. The spear flew past her shoulder, leaving a pool of blood.

"Well……!"

Theresa gritted her teeth and looked up in the direction where the spear was thrown. It was Maria Shaniyat, one of the three active S-class Valkyries of Satori, who had caused a big disturbance in Saint Freya before.

Seeing Maria appear, Theresa was relieved. Ludwig was dragged by Siegfried, and Maria also appeared here. Now she had to restrain Maria and the Shanyiat Valkyries commanded by Maria. This was the limit of what she could do at this stage. The rest really depended on the luck of Himeko and the others.

"Ivar, Angelica... they are not here. According to the news from Anti-Entropy, Ludwig is only leading some of the Shaniat family to fight Anti-Entropy and Siegfried. Ivar and others are not among them... Now we can only hope for the situation in Yulandel."

Yulandel is the most powerful S-class Valkyrie in the world today. It shouldn't be a problem for her to deal with Angelica, who is rated A, and Ivar, who is currently in poor health.

"Theresa Apokalis, you have been obstructing Shaniyat again and again. You have really wasted the feelings that Sister Cecilia had for you." Maria said in a cold tone.

"Heh... If the Shanyat family wasn't so radical, how could things have ended up like this?" Theresa pulled out a chain gun from Judas to block Maria's attack. "I just wanted to protect the two children."

"How could you not understand? How could you not understand? Only if Lord Lucifer comes back, only if he comes back can he lead us to defeat Honkai!" Maria said almost hysterically, "And the price paid is just a clone. Do you know how many people are looking forward to Lord Lucifer's return? Do you know that this is a war that humans cannot afford to lose?!"

"Of course I know that... But I want to prove even more that the future of mankind in this era, our future, should be grasped by ourselves. If everything depends on our predecessors to move forward for us and rely on them to carry the burden for us, mankind will never have the opportunity to grow." Theresa repelled Maria, and her pupils turned golden since some time.

Maria took a few steps back and her eyes fell on Theresa. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the Theresa in front of her seemed a little different from the Theresa she knew?

Is it the change brought about by the liberation of Vishnu's power?

The words that Theresa just said were spoken subconsciously. These thoughts seemed to appear inexplicably from her mind. It was these thoughts that prompted her to make up her mind during the period before.

She suddenly felt a little dazed, as if she had had a similar conversation with someone in some distant time.

"People cannot rely entirely on the arrival of a savior. Saving the world has never been and will never be the responsibility of one person. If humans want to be saved, they must first prove that they are worthy of being saved. When everyone is looking forward to one or a few people saving the world but they themselves do nothing, it has already proved that this era is not worthy of being saved."

Almost driven by her body's instinct, Theresa raised her hand, the golden light in her eyes becoming brighter and brighter: "Judas's Oath, Extraordinary Liberation, God's Grace Judgment."

Judas behind her seemed to have self-awareness. He obeyed Theresa's orders and his whole body began to change. Maria realized that something was wrong and wanted to stop it from happening further, but before she could act, Judas had completed the change. More than a dozen chain guns flew towards Maria as if they had consciousness.

Maria raised her gun with all her might to knock all the chain guns away, but the chain guns that were knocked away just made a turn and continued to attack her.

After several rounds of attack and defense and the restrictions of the divine grace barrier, Maria still fell into a disadvantage, with her hands and feet trapped by several chains.

"I really underestimated you, Theresa Apokalis... That's right, after all, you were once an S-class Valkyrie, and when you were still a B-class Valkyrie, you killed an emperor-class Honkai beast alone..." Maria's eyes reflected Theresa's figure, "But, don't underestimate Shaniyat's S-class Valkyrie!"

The next moment, the stigmata on Maria's back glowed with light, and then Maria forcibly broke free from Judas's restraints. The power of the stigmata spread throughout her body, giving her a new set of weapons.

The spear in her hand also transformed into the shape of a flag, and she raised it as if responding to her leader. The stigmata on the backs of other Valkyries of the Shanyat family who were busy dealing with the flying chain guns also began to change. After deflecting the chain guns, they quickly gathered around Maria and formed a battle formation.

As an S-class Valkyrie, Maria is powerful not only in her individual combat capability, but also in her group strengthening and command capabilities.

A new round of fighting broke out again.

In the distance, the girl with golden hair turned her gaze towards Theresa in the center of the Divine Grace Boundary, and said as if she was talking to herself, "They really look alike... No, it should be said that they look too alike, whether it's the look in your eyes at that time, or... Theresa, are you really related to Michael in some way?"

If Theresa is really related to Michael, then is that Raiden Mei...

The girl thought for a while and estimated that the battlefield between Maria and Theresa was now in a stalemate. However, in her opinion, how long this situation could last depended on how long Theresa could support Judas's super-limit form and the divine grace barrier. Maria was supported by the thousands of years of heritage of the Shaniyat family's stigmata, while Theresa was purely relying on her own Honkai energy for support. If a protracted war was fought, Maria's victory would be almost unshakable.

However, with the Vishnu factor in Theresa's body, she might be able to hold on longer than she expected. After all, that was also Amo's super-mutation factor, which she was very familiar with.

After watching the battle for a while, the girl turned and left.

There is no need to worry about any unexpected events here for now. Theresa's goal is just to keep Maria and other [White Flower] Valkyries here. She will not leave even if she has an advantage.

As for the Valkyrie team that sneaked in earlier, there is a Third Herrscher and a Fourth Herrscher in it. Even though the two of them combined may not be as strong as Kiana, they still need to be kept an eye on.

the other side.

Siegfried was kicked away by Ludwig. Siegfried had already begun to semi-beast-transform because his own collapse factor became difficult to suppress. In order to ensure that his consciousness did not completely become that of a beast, he could only suppress the blood in his body that was gradually becoming violently boiling, while resisting the attack from Ludwig.

As a result, the situation became completely turned into him being suppressed by Ludwig.

"In fact, it would have been better to let Mistherine come over. I believe that when you see Mistherine's appearance, your expression will be much more interesting than it is now. Unfortunately, Mistherine has her mission to do." Ludwig held the sword and spoke casually, as if he felt that victory had been secured for him.

"Misterine?" Siegfried spat out a mouthful of blood. He had never heard of such a person in the Shanyat family. Ludwig said that the appearance of Misterine would make his face look very interesting. Does this mean that Misterine is someone he knows? Could it be that this Misterine is... Kiana?

Theresa also told me that the real Kiana is still alive...

"Let me guess, are you secretly delighted, thinking that if you hold me back and Theresa holds Maria back, the others can successfully rescue K423?" Ludwig raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth, "Siegfried, you are still so naive, and you still take yourself too seriously. Don't you think about it, on such an important day, how could the Shanyiat family send out the strongest force to deal with a waste like you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Giving you hope first, and then despair, this is quite suitable for you." Ludwig said slowly, "In the Shanyiat family, I have never been the strongest, and there are more than one person who is stronger than me..."

The next second, a high temperature that seemed to be able to burn everything around came towards him. While Ludwig was talking, Siegfried was not idle either. He knew that Ludwig might be deliberately provoking him, but he could only seize the opportunity when Ludwig let down his guard and thought he had the situation under control to quickly injure or kill him.

Only in this way can...

The fiery explosion engulfed the two of them. The full-strength attack of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire was able to burn the user together with the Heavenly Fire. During the second collapse, Siegfried's Heavenly Fire turned the area within a kilometer radius into scorched earth, and even half of his own body was burned.

When the flames of the explosion dissipated, Siegfried's body, which was burned by the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, quickly recovered due to his own transformation into a Honkai beast. However, his condition worsened, and there were more and more Honkai beast-like parts on his body.

He gritted his teeth and looked up at the opposite side. Standing in front of him was a dark monster with scarlet light emitting from its pupils. This appearance was the same as that shown by Ivar when he fought with him.

The Shaniyat family's control over this power is far superior to their own.

"Unsheathing the Skyfire? It does have some power, but not much." The collapsed Ludwig extinguished the small flame on his body, "Siegfried, you don't really think I will let my guard down just because you showed weakness, do you? No, you are wrong. I really want you to find an opportunity so that I can go all out. After all, if I let you die too easily, I would really be sorry for all the things you have done."

If we don't fight more fiercely, we won't be able to complete the orders of that lord. So, Siegfried, you just struggle here with all your might and finally make use of the value of a waste.

Chapter 44: Intensification (Part 1)

Destiny Airport.

"Rita, what are you doing?!" Yulandel said to Rita who was blocking her way.

"Lady Yulandel, the bishop has ordered that today's Destiny Airport is under full martial law. Lady Theresa has led the Far East branch to rebel against Destiny. Now the Hyperion has broken through the outer defense line of Destiny Airport and entered the airport. Lady Maria is leading the Valkyries of the Shaniyat family to fight Lady Theresa. Rita, may I ask, where are you going now, Lady Yulandel?" Rita's tone was calm, but she had no intention of leaving Yulandel's presence.

The two S-class Valkyries of Destiny who were confronting each other here also put on their Valkyrie armors. This was the first time that the two new generation Valkyrie armors, the Brilliant Knight and the Blue Knight, had confronted each other head-on other than cooperation and daily training.

"Rita, I don't want to hurt you, get out of the way." Yulandel said in a deep voice.

"Lord Yulandel, you want to take Miss Kiana away, right?" Rita said, "You have also remembered all your past memories, but you should also know what you will face this time."

"She is my sister, even if she is not recognized by the Shanyiat family." Yulandel clenched the Black Abyss and White Flower in her hand. She had never used the Black Abyss and White Flower easily before, because she thought she was not qualified enough to master it. But the strength of the opponent she was going to face today was unknown, and she didn't want any accidents to happen, so she had to bring the Black Abyss and White Flower instead of the Eternal Silence Heler that she usually used.

Rita lowered her eyes and said, "You can't stop Lord Lucifer from returning. The people who set their sights on this are far more powerful than you can imagine. Lord Yulandel, Rita knows that she can't stop you with some small tricks, so she appears here as Rita's last measure to stop you."

Rita was helpless. She had tried sleeping pills before, but for some reason they were completely ineffective against Yulandel, and ordinary obstacles could not trap Yulandel at all.

"I know." Yulandel said calmly, "But, Rita, that should have been my responsibility. It was something I should have done. I know that I must give an explanation to the family in the end. Then I will be the one giving the explanation. I will fulfill the responsibility that I should have fulfilled."

"Kiana, are you really going to do this?" A somewhat old voice sounded, and this voice made Yulandel's pupils shrink. She stared with wide eyes at the old man who walked out from the side and stood next to Rita.

"Grandpa..." Yulandel said in a low voice.

"Good child, I know you have a kind heart. Every time I looked at you when I was a child, I felt that you were Cecilia's child. It is still the same until now. You always have the shadow of Cecilia in you." Leopold sighed and said, "But... you think that shouldn't be what K423 should do. In my opinion, is this what you should do? Kiana, do you still want to see your grandfather lose you again after losing your mother Cecilia?"
