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

"...We all thought he would change, but until this incident happened, we saw clearly that our leader never even looked at us!"

"Okay, Sarah, you're a little too emotional, don't let Leonie hear it."

"So what if she heard it? Sooner or later she will know this... Sooner or later she will have to face... Siegfried... If he wasn't Kaslana, how could he be qualified to hold the Skyfire? If he wasn't Kaslana, how could he be qualified to travel around the world at the age of 15? If he wasn't Kaslana, would he be worthy of marrying Cecilia? But in the end, Kaslana... is nothing in his eyes."

"Ugh……"

"He became a hero against entropy, but we became sinners of fate..."

……

The girl opened the box brought by another girl who had just left, and the Divine Key and Heavenly Fire Holy Judge that had been taken away by the head of the family was lying quietly inside.

She stretched out her hand to touch the Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire, but before she could do so, she had to retreat because of the burning sensation coming from it.

The Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire is not so easy to pick up. Not everyone is qualified to pick up the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire. But why... the last person who picked up this divine key abandoned the family that gave him the divine key?

The old patriarch's health was getting worse and worse. When she saw the girl coming on behalf of Shaniyat to return the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire, she thought that this would help the old patriarch's health a little, until she heard the girl's name.

Kiana Kaslana, the daughter of Siegfried Kaslana and the granddaughter of the old patriarch.

She saw the old patriarch's eyes widened instantly. It didn't seem like he was looking at his granddaughter, but at a stranger. Amid a violent cough, the old patriarch urged herself to see the guest off immediately.

She didn't know what had happened back then. She only knew that the head of the family, Siegfried, abandoned the Kaslana family, bringing disgrace to the entire family. However, his daughter, Kiana, with her half Shaniyat bloodline, joined the Shaniyat family and represented the Shaniyat family to return the Holy Judge of Skyfire that they had raided and recovered from Anti-Entropy.

Once upon a time, Kaslana was also a family that stood shoulder to shoulder with Shaniyat. They established a thousand-year-old alliance and fought together for humanity and the Honkai in human history.

And now, Shaniyat is still strong, still active in various places of Tianming, active in the forefront of the fight against Houkai, fulfilling their family mission and responsibility, while Kaslana is forced to be trapped in a corner, and has no face to appear in front of the world.

How ironic...

After asking me to see the guest off, the old patriarch didn't even spare a second glance at the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire. He walked into the inner room, coughing, and left me to arrange the next steps.

Although she disliked Siegfried and even his daughter, the old patriarch's health was getting worse day by day. The family doctor often advised the old patriarch to rest more, but everyone knew Kaslana's situation now...

They had submitted applications to the Mandate headquarters to seek doctors, but Bishop Otto only symbolically sent a few doctors to make the same diagnosis as the family doctors, and then nothing happened.

I thought the old patriarch would be able to relax a little when he saw his granddaughter - because she also clearly remembered that the old patriarch would often stare at the only family photo left by Siegfried here, but... when he saw Kiana, his condition seemed to worsen in an instant.

This also left her somewhat puzzled.

Was it because she felt that she was being mocked? She was called Kaslana, but in the end she represented the Shaniyat family.

Ask yourself, if Kiana had not brought the Holy Judgement of Skyfire with her this time and had not represented the Shanyatid family, she might have said something even more unpleasant, and there might even have been a big conflict. Because she represented the Shanyatid family and had returned the Holy Judgement of Skyfire, she had to suppress all her dissatisfaction over the years.

Kaslana is no longer the original Kaslana. Even her own Holy Judge of Skyfire needs others to help recycle it, not to mention that the people who can represent Shanyiat have a high status in the Shanyiat family. They... have no right to show their displeasure to Shanyiat. To put it bluntly, they still have to look at Shanyiat's face.

Whether Kaslana can return to destiny depends on Shaniyat's attitude. As long as Shaniyat does not forgive Kaslana, destiny will not accept Kaslana.

Some people also said that destiny did not favor Kaslana, so why didn't Kaslana go against entropy?

Go to hell!

Was this an attempt to completely destroy Kaslana's last remaining dignity? Even if Kaslana was in decline, it was still one of the three great families that had sworn to establish the Mandate of Heaven. Abandoning the Mandate of Heaven established by their ancestors and their past glory to join the enemy? Siegfried could do such a thing, but Kaslana could not and would not do it.

The girl closed the lid of the container containing the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire and was about to put it back to its original place. Suddenly, she noticed someone entering the mansion. She quickly turned around and saw the two current S-rank Valkyries of Skyfire standing not far away, looking at her.

Although Kaslana had not been involved in the affairs of the Fate of Destiny for a long time, it did not mean that she did not know the S-rank Valkyries of the Fate of Destiny. The girl quickly bowed and saluted: "Leonie Kaslana, the agent of the head of the Kaslana family, greets the two S-rank Valkyries. I am very sorry, but the head of the family is not in good health and cannot come out to meet you. Please forgive me for any offense."

Then she looked up at Rita and Yulandel and asked, "What brings you here today?"

While asking this, Leonie was also wondering in her heart about the purpose of Yulandel and Rita's visit. After all, Yulandel was the most powerful Valkyrie in the Destiny, the user of the Black Abyss White Flower, and an outstanding talent that both the Bishop and Shaniyat valued as someone who might surpass Cecilia in the future. Her arrival here, combined with Kiana's previous arrival, did it mean that the Bishop was willing to relax the ban on Kaslana?

Youlandel was silent for a moment, then said, "Just now... when I came here, I happened to see Kiana coming out. What did she come here for?"

"She...she came here on behalf of Shaniyat to return the Holy Tribunal of Skyfire. Kaslana still feels very sorry for what happened back then..."

"Didn't she ask anything else?"

Leonie was silent. She could see that Kiana wanted to ask something, but when Kiana arrived, the master's condition did not improve but worsened. How could she keep her guests? In addition, she did have a lot of resentment towards Siegfried over the years, so her attitude towards Kiana was... a little bit worse.

Why does Yulandel's face look a little unwell?

"I'm sorry, the head of the family's condition worsened a little after meeting Miss Kiana, and we couldn't keep her for a long time, so there wasn't much communication." Leonie said.

"Is that so..." Yulandel lowered her eyes, "Kaslana... doesn't welcome her?"

Leonie choked. It seemed that the S-rank Valkyrie had heard everything standing outside the door. She could only helplessly answer, "It can't be helped... You should have seen Kaslana's current state on the way here. It's all because of our former family head Siegfried. Please forgive us for not being able to be kind to him and his daughter."

Yulandel glanced at Rita beside her and continued, "Speaking of Siegfried... Can you tell me about his past with the Kaslana family and what the Kaslana family thinks of him?"

the other side.

Kiana walked out of Kaslana's house. The man who came with her outside didn't seem to be waiting for her at the original place. Maybe he left first because of something, or he might not have expected that he would come out of Kaslana's house so soon.

Having said that, I did feel a little empty inside when I didn't see him when I came out.

"Hey, Kiana, I just went to buy some pastries nearby. Why did you come out? Did you run into any problems?" A female voice rang out, which made her a little uncomfortable.

She turned her head and saw Feng, who was wearing sunglasses, raised the cakes he had just bought in his hand towards her: "If they treat you badly, then I can also consider taking Skyfire back. After all, you are a member of Shaniyate now. If you want..."

"That's not necessary!" Kiana said unhappily, but her mood also improved a little.

"Alright, alright, I know you definitely didn't pretend to be a Shaniyat to talk to them." Feng reached out and put a bag of cakes in Kiana's hand, "Have some desserts, sweet things can make people feel better. Since Kaslana doesn't welcome you very much, there's no need to stay here any longer. If you want to improve the relationship, there will always be opportunities in the future. As for now... do you want to go back?"

"No, wait a moment, I promised Bianca to wait for her here for a while." Kiana took out a piece of pastry and took a bite. Hmm, it was moderately sweet, not the kind of pastry that was too sweet and greasy. It was really suitable at this time.

It seems that this guy had anticipated the current situation.

"Did you know that she and Rita will also be here today?" Kiana swallowed the pastry in her mouth and looked at Feng and said.

"Isn't this creating an opportunity for the two of you to meet?" Feng shrugged. "She has always treated you as her sister. You have finally decided to come out. How can you not meet her?"

"Sister... am I a thief who stole her name and life? Am I qualified to be her sister?" Kiana said with some self-mockery, "What do I have... that truly belongs to me?"

"I still say the same thing. If I say you have it, you have it. If I say you are you, you are you." Feng also took out a piece of cake and took a bite. "It doesn't matter what the Kaslana family thinks. If I say you are the princess of the Shaniyat family, then you are the princess of the Shaniyat family. It's that simple."

Kiana glanced at Feng, then turned her gaze towards Kaslana's mansion. After a while, she said, "When are you going to replace this carrier? I'm not used to your current voice."

"Wait until Alicia calms down... maybe?" Feng looked up at the sky. In addition to Alicia's revenge on him for his willfulness over the years, there was another reason for Alicia to prepare this carrier...

"If I give you a girl's body, you won't be able to seduce other girls this way?"

It was this reason that convinced Mobius and the others, and even Grayshu did not object. What happened? Where is Qianjie? Where is Su? Why don't you two save them?

Forget it, it's just a carrier anyway, and my real body will come back when the time comes. As for now... Alicia just needs to be happy.

Speaking of which, it seems that Kiana's birthday will be coming soon, right? Then I have to call Alicia and the others to prepare well... Well, no, not only Kiana, but Bianca's birthday is also on the same day, so we can't miss it.

Chapter 66: Differences and What We See

"A person's mission is never predetermined... a person's bloodline cannot determine everything about him!"

"You are wrong, Siegfried. Because you are Kaslana, you have a stronger adaptability to Honkai than others. Compared to others, you are a natural warrior against Honkai. This is true for Kaslana and Shaniyath."

"What's the meaning of this mission given by the family?! Is this the choice of all Kaslana and Shaniyat themselves?"

"...Maybe not everyone is willing to accept such a fate, but sometimes, there are some things that you can't decide."

"Everyone has the right to choose their own life, right? Just because of her bloodline, she is bound to fight against the Honkai for her whole life! Aunt Elena, she didn't even say until the last moment of her life that her dream was to be a painter... But in the end, she died on the front line as a Valkyrie of Kaslana..."

"This is Elena's own choice."

"Is this really her choice from the bottom of her heart?!"

"How can you be sure it's not?"

……

The old man stared at the photo in front of him in a trance. He recalled the conversation between his son and himself before he ran away from home when he was young. Siegfried never recognized the family mission of Kaslana and Shanyat. In his opinion, it was a kind of bondage to their hearts. Because they were given the surnames of Kaslana and Shanyat, their entire lives were bound to the fight against Honkai. This emotion was intensified after Elena Kaslana, who had always taken good care of Siegfried since childhood, died on the front line.

Until he returned to Tianming to receive training and took up the Skyfire because of Cecilia's matter, he never recognized his family.

Siegfried is his son, and he certainly knows what kind of person he is. He is impulsive and tends to be thoughtless, but he always has a sense of justice in his heart. But what did this sense of justice bring to him, himself, and his family in the end?

Elena is his cousin, and of course he knows that Elena wanted to be a painter when she was a child. The thing she cherished most in her life was the first paintbrush she got when she was young. However, after knowing that she had excellent adaptability to Honkai energy, she still chose to go to the front line as a Valkyrie, and locked her paintbrushes and paints in the drawer from then on.

Kaslana is like this, and Shaniyat's side is even crazier. The hounds on the mission have almost no emotions and carry out the tasks assigned by Otto indifferently. On the other side, which is relatively normal, their obsession with fighting against Honkai is beyond imagination. Because of the existence of Shaniyat's Holy Blood, which can be called the nemesis of Honkai, almost all of them are active on the front battlefield against Honkai.

In order to fight against Honkai, Shaniyate would do anything. When Siegfried wanted to marry Cecilia, Shaniyate strongly opposed it for some reason. Even Otto found it difficult to suppress their opinions, which directly led to the turmoil in the Mandate of Heaven during that period.

Afterwards, it was actually Siegfried who fulfilled the bet with Otto on his own, which made Shanyiat look up to him somewhat. It was unknown what kind of ideological work Otto had done on Shanyiat, but in the end Shanyiat finally accepted it with a wry smile.

He had thanked Otto and Shanyat for this, but Otto just stroked the pen in his hand and said slowly, "I think you may have some misunderstandings. The head of Kaslana...ah, maybe I should call you the former head of the family now. The reason why I support Siegfried and Cecilia is not that complicated. You have to know that Siegfried's bloodline is the purest in this generation of Kaslana family, and Cecilia is the same in Shanyat family. Can the offspring born by the two of them inherit the power of Kaslana and Shanyat at the same time? This is what I want to see most."

The head of the Shanyiat family also agreed with Otto's statement.

The reason to persuade Shaniyat might just be for the sake of a future generation.

He actually figured it out later. Kaslana just prefers to be straightforward. Not all Kaslana are fools. Otto has always been worried about Siegfried, who ran away from home when she was a child. For Otto, the most intolerable thing is to be out of his control.

Then Otto would rather train a new offspring with better bloodline.

After Kiana was born, Otto and the Shaniat family paid special attention to her, which also confirmed this idea.

It’s just… Siegfried only saw the so-called “restraint” in his eyes, and didn’t see the glory and pride of the family that was shining in the eyes of others.

He might have thought that his defection would force Kaslana to give up her past glory and allow others to pursue their inner direction, but the problem was that Kaslana had always been the Kaslana of destiny, and she coexisted with destiny. If, in Siegfried's eyes, past glory and family mission were the ropes that bound Kaslana, forcing all Kaslana people to go to the battlefield against their will, then what he didn't see was that his defection cut off the way for other Kaslana people to go to the front as warriors.

He thought he could give Kaslana more choices, but in fact it was not the case. Perhaps Siegfried had never thought that his defection would bring Kaslana into such an embarrassing situation.

Not everyone is willing to sacrifice everything to fight the collapse, and not everyone doesn't want to.

What Siegfried saw was Elena's regret before her death, but what he couldn't see was the passion of Elena as a warrior going to the front line together with other Valkyries, nor the light in Elena's eyes when she told the young him about Kaslana's mission.

Not becoming a painter is naturally a regret in Elena's life, but everyone in this world has regrets, and Elena has never regretted giving up her childhood dream of becoming a Valkyrie.

But Siegfried had no chance to understand all this. All he saw was Elena accepting the order from the Bishop and leading the Valkyrie Squad to defeat the Honkai Beasts, and gaining first-hand intelligence on the newly born Emperor-level Honkai Beasts at the cost of her life. He also saw the second group of Shaniyat who rushed to the battlefield and brought back Elena's body.

At that time, he almost had a conflict with Ludwig, who was of the same age as him, because Ludwig also accepted the order from the bishop to go into battle with Elena, but in the end only Ludwig survived. In addition, Ludwig's attitude when he brought back Elena's body was also one of the reasons that irritated Siegfried.

"She fulfilled her responsibilities as a Valkyrie very well and lived up to the name of Kaslana."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Ludwig's expressionless face and his tone of voice that seemed to be just a compliment made Siegfried almost fight with Ludwig. But how could Siegfried, who had never received any systematic training, beat Ludwig, who was already at the level of an A-level Valkyrie?

It was just that the other party didn't do much because of Kaslana's consideration.

"Master, the person has left." Leonie's voice rang out as several knocks on the door sounded.

The old man stopped his wandering thoughts. He was getting old, and he was increasingly unable to handle things recently. However, Leonie was indeed a good junior. If she had not been prohibited from becoming the Valkyrie of Destiny because of Siegfried's defection, she might have become an excellent A-level Valkyrie.

But there is no if.

"I see..." The old man sighed deeply, and suddenly he remembered that it should have been quite some time since he asked Leonie to see the guests off. But Leonie only came to him now to tell him that the guests had left. So, did someone else visit Kaslana after Kiana?

Speaking of Kiana, the old man was quite surprised at first when he heard the news that she was coming to visit. Just because most of the people in Kaslana's family didn't know the truth didn't mean that he, as the head of the family, wouldn't be unaware. He also knew some of the experiments that Otto conducted on Kiana. He also knew that all of this was related to Shaniyat's thousand-year-old wish.

Just like when destiny was in turmoil.

He also knew that Siegfried took two people with him when he defected, one was Kiana, and the other was an important experimental subject. The final result was that Kiana was shot down from the aircraft that Siegfried used to defect, and then disappeared.

He really didn't know what happened after that.

He just guessed Kiana's current identity from some information from Tianming.

Bianca Yulandel Atagina.

After all, he is the head of Kaslana. Although Kaslana is now idle, he still has to go to Tianming Airport to do some things sometimes, such as symbolically participating in some meetings or something. Some family matters also need to be communicated with Tianming Airport in order to maintain the survival of the family.

Since ancient times, Kaslana has not been very good at managing the family's finances. Most of them were only concerned with fighting the Honkai on the front line. The dispatch of materials and financial management were generally handled by the Apokalis family. After Otto came to power after purging the opposition five hundred years ago, he deprived the Apokalis family of this power and transferred it to the Shaniyat family and the Mandate Headquarters.

As both the Destiny Headquarters and Shanyiat disliked Kaslana, it has not been easy for Kaslana over the years.

Fortunately, he just disliked Kaslana. At least because Saint Kallen was born in Kaslana, Otto did not push Kaslana to death, but it can only be said that the current situation is half-dead.

In short, the moment he saw Kiana coming, the old man recognized that this was not his granddaughter at all. The reason why he speculated that Yulandel was the real Kiana was because of Shanyiat's overly tolerant attitude towards Yulandel. They allowed Yulandel to learn their swordsmanship, allowed Yulandel to read their classics, and even gave her the Black Abyss White Flower.

The time when Yulandel appeared happened to be close to the time when Kiana crashed. In addition, Shaniyat intentionally or unintentionally prevented him from meeting Yulandel, which made him more convinced that this should be his granddaughter.

He didn't insist on seeing his granddaughter or anything like that, because he knew that would only bring trouble to the other party, and Shaniyat had not treated Yulandel badly. Whatever Kaslana couldn't give to Yulandel, Shaniyat could give her.

Therefore, he was stunned the moment he saw Kiana. He didn't know why this "Kiana" was not Yulandel, but the other party was indeed here on behalf of Shanyiat to return the Holy Judge of Skyfire who was taken away by Siegfried. He also saw a trace of guilt and remorse in the girl's eyes.

The old man quickly realized that this girl was most likely the experimental subject that Siegfried had taken away!

And her current name was probably given by her own son. No one knows a son better than his father. Siegfried is indeed capable of doing such a thing.

Without much hesitation, nor did he think about whether his idea was reasonable, he immediately asked Leonie to send the guest away, regardless of which "Kiana" this Kiana was, whether it was the experimental subject that Siegfried took away, or whether his original speculation was wrong and this was the real Kiana...

She shouldn't have anything to do with Kaslana anymore.

The fact that he could represent Shaniyat to return the Holy Judge of Skyfire could only mean that Shaniyat really valued Kiana. However, the relationship between Shaniyat and Kaslana has almost dropped to below freezing point. If Kiana feels any guilt or other emotions towards Kaslana, it will only make her situation with Shaniyat worse.

Therefore, she couldn't have anything to do with Kaslana.

Therefore, Kaslana could only not welcome her.
