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

Although Otto looked down on Anti-Entropy, he was still willing to acknowledge the abilities of Einstein and Tesla, well, abilities other than politics. Anti-Entropy had only been established for a few decades, and they had already been overshadowed by the so-called reformists represented by Cocolia. The reformists like Cocolia and those restless guys in the Apocalis family were the nails that Otto intended to pull out in the next step.

Haiyuan City... will become the battlefield for the first formal full-scale conflict between Destiny and Anti-Entropy since the establishment of Anti-Entropy. Cocolia has concentrated most of Anti-Entropy's forces in Haiyuan City. Isn't Destiny also gathering troops to prepare for a decisive battle with Anti-Entropy?

Even without Lucifer's personal intervention, Otto was absolutely confident that he could win this battle. After all, the information that both sides could obtain was not equal. If he was only the Bishop of Destiny, then he might have some problems facing the anti-entropy troops who were ready for battle. The problem was...

He is still a cadre of World Snake. Although he basically peeks at the screen and does not speak during cadre meetings, he is still a cadre of World Snake.

Cocolia probably would never have thought of this even if she racked her brains. She tried every possible way to contact the World Serpent and exchange some technology from the previous civilization from the World Serpent. Then the next day, all the information about Haiyuan City, including troop deployment, was placed on Otto's desk.

The only difficulty for Otto is that the Haiyuan City incident cannot be made too big. He must win the war with the least losses in a short period of time and maximize the benefits he can obtain.

It really requires careful consideration.

As Otto was thinking about this, he picked up another document. It contained information about a pair of twins, and was also the key content of the transaction after Cocolia and the World Serpent came into contact.

"Ivar, what do you think of their status?" Otto handed the document to Ivar. Ivar just glanced at it and said calmly, "They are just two insignificant children. In front of Shaniat, they are nothing."

"No, no, no, you're wrong, Ivar, I didn't intend to let Shanyat target them." Otto's mouth curled up slightly, "I was just thinking, Kokolia traded with the World Serpent for the opportunity to perform the Fusion Warrior surgery on them in the name of saving their lives, and when they pierced her heart with a deadly blade in the form of Honkai beasts, what would she think?"

After all, even if he could reluctantly regard the twins who had just undergone fusion warrior surgery to save their lives as fusion warriors, in Otto's opinion, it was not worth his time and effort to target them. As for the reasons claimed by Cocolia and the World Serpent when they made the deal, Otto just wanted to laugh.

He never thought that Cocolia would have much affection for her so-called "children". The deal with the World Serpent was only part of the reason, that the twins were seriously injured and dying due to Maria's raid on the orphanage. It was just a reason she made up, at least on the surface, to tell others.

Fusion Warrior surgery is no joke, and it is not an operation that can be successful as expected.

Regardless of whether the twins' final surgery is successful or not, Cocolia will have sufficient reasons to continue researching this technology in Anti-Entropy, and then further expand her voice in Anti-Entropy until she completely replaces Walter as the leader.

"That would be an interesting scene," Ivar said.

"Let's put the matter of anti-entropy aside for now. So, how is my good granddaughter Theresa doing?" Otto asked. "Without the financial support allocated by the destiny, the current situation of the Far East Branch is probably enough to make her anxious, right?"

This is just a small test that Otto gave Theresa. The wealth of the Apokalis family can completely fill this gap, so it is not surprising that the Apokalis family approached Theresa. Whether Theresa can make the right judgment in this matter depends on what she thinks.

Otto doesn't care what the final result is, as long as Theresa can gain experience from it. As for the price, the Apocalis family will pay it, just like five hundred years ago.

At this time, the Far East Branch.

After seeing off the guests, Theresa sat in the principal's office, holding her forehead with her hand as Otto had expected with a headache.

This was the third time that the Apokalis family had come to her to hint at cooperating to discuss how to overthrow Otto. Although they were no longer at the center of power, the Apokalis family was not completely ignorant of the War of Destiny. What they knew was that their nominal head of the family cooperated with Anti-Entropy to attack the Destiny Airport, and escaped unscathed from the siege of a group of Shaniyat, and in the end Destiny could not do anything to the Far East.

Theresa really wanted to say, you guys really never gave up.

He also overthrew Otto. The so-called escape from it unscathed was really just that Lucifer didn't care and Otto didn't pursue it.

The demands of the Apocalips were actually very simple. They all knew very well that as long as Otto was still the bishop, the Apocalips would never have a chance to make a breakthrough.

Regarding this matter, Theresa actually felt that Otto's suppression of the Apokalis family was a bit too harsh. Although some people in the Apokalis family were indeed not trustworthy, there were also people who always wanted to contribute to the destiny, and Otto always killed them with one blow. It was hard to say that there was no personal grudge involved.

The death of Saint Kallen was originally related to the Apocalips family. The historical data of Destiny recorded that Otto's sister and nephew were afraid of the influence of Saint Kallen and wanted to use this to suppress Otto, who had already declared that he had no intention of competing for the position of bishop, so they manipulated the entire trial. The Apocalips family was also standing on the opposite side of Otto at the time.

After the old Mandate of Heaven was overthrown by Otto, he immediately sent his sister and nephew to the gallows. Most of Apocalis's family members were also liquidated afterwards, and gradually withdrew from the power center of the Mandate of Heaven in the following five hundred years.

Although from Theresa's point of view, the Apocalis family had only themselves to blame, but it has been five hundred years since then, and grandpa really has no intention of letting go of what happened back then.

Although the conditions offered by Apokalis were indeed difficult for Theresa to refuse, at least on the surface, Theresa was very clear that even she had Otto's undercover agents, and every move of the Apokalis family was probably under Otto's nose. The Apokalis family was so jumpy, but Otto did nothing, which only meant that her grandfather was holding back a big plan.

At the end of the discussion, a piece of information vaguely revealed by the messenger of the Apokalis family made Theresa confirm her thoughts - they actually contacted Cocolia!

There are so many people to contact, so why not contact Cocolia... Don’t you know that when that woman goes crazy, she won’t care about anything?

Perhaps it was because Otto favored Shaniyats and ignored Apokalis, and then Cocolia was at war with Shaniyats, which made Apokalis and Cocolia hit it off?

Theresa sighed deeply. Since she was still the head of Apokalis in name, at least... she had to find a way to make sure that Apokalis would bleed less when her grandfather swung his knife at him.

Chapter 69: Sky Ranger

Several months have passed since the end of the Battle of Destiny. During this period, Destiny and Anti-Entropy have fallen into a relatively tacit silence, but everyone knows that at the end of this silence, a war more intense than the Battle of Destiny will begin.

Not long ago, Siegfried, who was led by Lucifer Shaniat to raid the base and seize the Skyfire, finally woke up. He described the details of the attack to Einstein and Tesla, and the relevant records of this process were soon handed over to Theresa.

After discussing with Doctors Einstein and Tesla, they all agreed that Lucifer Shaniyat did not have complete control over Kiana's body.

And just now, Theresa received important information about Kiana collected by Anti-Entropy from Dr. Einstein.

"You said... Kiana showed up in Sky City?" Theresa said in disbelief, "Are you sure that Lucifer didn't just come out to go shopping?"

"Honestly, Ms. Theresa, we can't confirm whether the Kiana who appeared in Sky City is Lucifer or Kiana. Judging from her condition, it is indeed possible that Kiana herself is controlling the body now." Einstein said in the video, "Our idea is also supported by the recent unusual movements of the Shanyat family. In addition to sending more people to Haiyuan City according to Otto's orders, there are also records of Shanyat people appearing near Sky City. At the same time, not long ago, Sky Mandate also sent more people to Sky City. Although nominally they are checking Sky City's anti-collapse equipment, it is hard not to suspect that they are also looking for Kiana."

"You mean..." Theresa hesitated for a while before saying, "Kiana took back control of her body and then escaped from the Shanyat family?"

"It is indeed possible." Einstein said, "After all, Shaniyat's actions have been a little strange recently. After Lucifer led Shaniyat to raid our New Mexico base, there has been no follow-up news. So far, Shaniyat still obeys Otto's command. The end-level Houkai beast that appeared in the Battle of Destiny has not made any moves so far. We have enough reason to suspect that Lucifer may have fallen into a dormant state again."

"But if this news is false, wouldn't we be walking into a trap if we rush over now?" Theresa frowned and said, "Although grandpa hasn't started to take action against the Far East branch yet, Sky City is not within the reach of the Far East branch or even Anti-Entropy."

"That's right, but if Lucifer really still occupies Kiana's body, do they still need to use this method to deal with us?" Einstein said.

Theresa fell silent again. Einstein was right. If Lucifer really wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop, he could just bring the end-of-law-level Honkai beast to visit Saint Freya. Why take this roundabout way?

"Is there no more detailed information?" Theresa continued to ask.

"For more detailed information, perhaps you, Ms. Theresa, need to confirm it yourself." Einstein replied, "We also got the news by chance from the information dealer in Sky City. Although we proposed a deal with the other party as soon as we found out, the other party asked us to go to Sky City in person to make the connection."

"Is the source of information... reliable?" Theresa made a decision quickly. No matter what, for Kiana, she had to give it a try.

"Ms. Theresa can rest assured. The organization to which this intelligence dealer belongs has existed for a long time. It is an organization independent of Mandate that only provides intelligence gathering. However, I am worried that it is not only us who have received the news. Mandate may have also received the news." Einstein said.

"An intelligence organization independent of Mandate..." Theresa thought thoughtfully. She had heard of this. This organization mainly moved around in neutral countries and generally did not get involved in the struggle between Mandate and Anti-Entropy. It had existed for quite a long time. Because there was no conflict of interest with Mandate, the intelligence they sold was mostly irrelevant to Mandate. And because they had existed for a long time, they were distributed over a very wide range and were considered to be very efficient in finding people.

Therefore, when Tianming established his own intelligence organization outside to collect intelligence, he also needed to find them to trade. Of course, the same is true for Anti-Entropy.

"I understand. I'll go right away and find the information dealer to deal with him face to face..." Theresa took a deep breath, nodded, and prepared to end the call. She didn't want to delay even a moment regarding Kiana's matter.

"Wait a moment, Ms. Theresa." Einstein suddenly spoke.

"Anything else, Dr. Einstein?" Theresa asked.

"This should be considered an unreasonable request. If possible, we hope that Saint Freya can provide us with some help." Einstein said seriously.

Theresa said without thinking, "Please go ahead."

Einstein was silent for a moment, then said, "Just before I contacted you, Dr. Tesla and I received a message from Cocolia. She wants us to go to Haiyuan City to fight against Tianming with her. The outer defense line of Haiyuan City has been breached by Tianming."

"What?" Theresa was a little unresponsive. "When was this news?"

"Strictly speaking, this news even broke not long ago." Einstein said with a headache, "We didn't expect that after several months of preparation, Cocolia's first line of defense would be shattered by destiny in just a few hours, forcing her to come to us for help."

"Could it be a conspiracy by Cocolia?" Theresa asked.

"I have discussed this probability with Dr. Tesla, and I think it is very small. Kokolia sent us the footage of the first line of defense being torn apart. Shaniyat's artificial Herrscher has confirmed his participation in the battle. With the power of a Herrscher plus Shaniyat's holy blood, it is reasonable that the first line of defense established by Kokolia was torn apart." Einstein sighed and said, "Kokolia also had to reduce its defense line."

As for another reason why Cocolia asked Einstein and Tesla for help, Einstein considered it again and again, but still did not dare to tell Theresa. That is, Einstein and Tesla had done some research on the holy blood of Shaniyat and had produced countermeasure weapons against it. The source of the holy blood... was Cecilia.

Although this happened in the early years, it is not glorious anyway, not to mention that Theresa and Cecilia are good friends. If she told Theresa about this, she might really turn against them.

But they also had their reasons for asking Theresa for help. On the one hand, Theresa herself was strong enough to fight, and Saint Freya also had a Herrscher of Wind. Their joining could not only supplement the defense strength of Haiyuan City, but also have a deterrent effect on Cocolia, so that Cocolia would not dare to play any tricks on them.

On the other hand, Haiyuan City really cannot be lost.

Haiyuan City is an important base for Anti-Entropy to study the Quantum Sea. It is the only hope for Anti-Entropy leader Walter Yang to return from the Quantum Sea. If Haiyuan City is lost, Walter will never come back.

So Einstein had no choice but to go to Theresa.

As for Siegfried...

Not to mention that his current physical condition does not allow him to participate in the war. If he went to Haiyuan City, Shanyiat, who had just let him go, would go crazy on the spot when he saw Siegfried jumping in front of them, right?

Theresa was silent for a long time. She was also thinking about whether she should agree to Einstein's request. She still believed in the character of these two doctors. What she hesitated about was whether Tong Kekolia was trustworthy. She was also wondering whether Einstein had explained all the circumstances to her.

After a long while, Theresa finally spoke: "Dr. Einstein, Saint Freya can provide you with help. At least it shouldn't be a problem to ensure your safety in Haiyuan City. But I think it's better for us to be open and honest about some things."

Sky City.

With the sound of a gunshot, the woman who was protecting her child from a tank-class Honkai beast raised her head and found that the tank-class Honkai beast had fallen down with the sound of the gunshot.

"Twenty-seven... There are really a lot of Honkai beasts in this area." Kiana walked up to the mother and son, "Are you okay? This place is not safe yet. The concentration of Honkai energy is beyond the range that normal people can withstand. Do you need me to take you to a nearby safe area?"

"White hair, blue eyes...Mom, it's the Sky Ranger!" The boy seemed to recognize Kiana as the ranger that the people of Sky City had been talking about recently, so he said happily.

Sky Ranger... Have I been a little too ostentatious lately?

Kiana thought so in her heart. She didn't know when this title started to spread. The first time she heard it was when she had just arrived in Tianqiong City and heard it from a girl she rescued. Could it be that the girl spread it?

I felt a little embarrassed at the beginning, but I became numb to it over time. Now I am starting to worry whether this will affect my future activities in Tianqiong City.

At least at this stage, she didn't really want to go back. She had finally gotten the mission from Feng and ran out. For Kiana, cleaning up the Honkai beasts here was much easier than doing questions and actual combat training. Not to mention how difficult Teacher Vilvi's test paper was, in actual combat, she couldn't touch Alicia at all and was completely played around by Alicia.

Moreover, besides actual combat and theory, why did he have to grow vegetables and meditate with the squad leader? Occasionally, Su would join in, but was there any direct connection between this and the cultivation of Taixu Sword God?

Putting aside the above, this should be the first time that Feng assigned himself a task, leaving it entirely to me to handle, and for me to complete a task on his behalf.

The mission goal is to prevent a man-made disaster that is about to happen in Tianqiong City. According to Feng's description, if it is not handled properly, at least 90% of the civilians in Tianqiong City will die.

"Why doesn't the Shanniyat family care about this matter?" Kiana asked at the time.

"Because this matter was caused by the World Serpent itself, and there are other things going on in Haiyuan City, it is not convenient for Shaniyat to intervene directly." Feng gently took a sip of the black tea in the cup and said, "Kiana, although I am the Lord of the World Serpent, you should also know that different Lords have different ideas on fighting the Honkai. For example, the disaster that Sky City will face next is actually the work of another Lord."

"Can't you come out and stop it?" Kiana asked again.

"How should I stop it?" Feng asked with a half-smile. "I know what they are thinking. For others, this is a war they cannot afford to lose, and it is inevitable that they will take extreme measures. I can oppose it temporarily, but can I control other people's thoughts and make them agree with me?"

Kiana was silent.

"Don't worry." Feng continued to drink tea calmly, "Ying Jie cannot directly interfere with the progress of the current civilization. The things in Tianqiong City are actually the result of the choices made by another part of the current civilization."

"So, what you mean is..."

"You can stop this on my behalf." Feng said with a smile, "Your choice is also the choice of modern civilization."

In the past few months, Kiana has felt the enthusiasm from other heroes regarding Feng's return, but Kiana can also see that no matter which hero it is, they don't want to see Feng leave again.

So... there are still big differences between them on how to fight against Honkai, but because of Feng's existence, they will restrain themselves and will not engage in the civil war that has occurred in the past.

After sending the mother and son to a safe area, Kiana looked back at the Sky City in the night with a solemn gaze.

The Jackal guy hid himself too well. I have been searching everywhere these days and found some clues. I can infer that some of the collapse was caused by human factors, but I just can't catch the Jackal guy's tail.

Although Feng said that it was not convenient for Shanyiat to intervene directly, he also gave himself enough manpower. As long as he could catch the Jackal's handle, he could lead the Shanyiat currently distributed near Tianqiong City to intervene.

Feng had to arrange some help for her. Otherwise, if she had to rely on herself to find clues in such a huge Tianqiong City, especially when the other party had already noticed that she was deliberately hiding her whereabouts, how long would it take to find them? Although she didn't really want to go back now, it didn't mean that she was prepared to stay there forever.

What's more, since the lives of the vast majority of civilians in Tianqiong City are at stake, she can't let the search efficiency continue to be so low. Since the other party is wary of her, can she use this opportunity to attract their attention and then bring in outsiders to conduct the investigation on her behalf?

"Lady Kiana, someone has come from Tianming. She hopes to exchange some intelligence with you." Mia Shaniyat, the deputy assigned by Feng, appeared behind her like a ghost and said.

"Mia...can you please walk a little quieter next time? It's scary." Kiana turned around. "By the way, who is that person coming over?"

"It's Lady Rita Rossweisse."

Rita? That shouldn't be a problem.

Suddenly, Kiana remembered that Senior Padu seemed to have said that she had also brought a surprise force to her? Who could it be?

Chapter 70: The Fire of Klosten

Shencheng Pharmaceutical, underground laboratory.

Raven leaned against the door, looked at the jackal who was recording the experimental data and said, "What are you going to do next? Even if you continue to reduce your manpower, sooner or later the second lady of the Shaniyat family will find a flaw, right?"

"Heh... If she can find it, then let her find it, so what?" The jackal snorted disdainfully, "The little girl has never seen the world, she doesn't know how difficult this world is, and she doesn't know how much humans have sacrificed to fight the Honkai so far, and what kind of sacrifices our great Lords have experienced, she doesn't know any of this."

"But having hope for the future and wanting to save everyone is what a child of her age would think about, isn't it?" Raven said as he threw the knife in his hand up and caught it. "But to be honest, that Lord seems to have spoiled her a little too much. He even arranged Shaniyat's men for her this time."

"The Lord just wants us to teach her a lesson. When she realizes the reality and realizes that humans have no choice in the face of collapse, she will naturally stop us." The Jackal turned around and looked at the Raven. "No matter what, you don't really think that the Lord cares about the humans in this city, do you? It's just that the second lady wanted to give it a try, so he asked her to try, it's that simple."

"It's a good thing that you have confidence, but if we really fail this time, we won't be able to report to the other Lord, right?" Raven said with his hands spread out, "Not to mention, our Second Miss has also involved Tianming this time, right?"

"Tianming? Ha..." Jackal said disdainfully, "How many people can Tianming send? Now the entire Tianming has focused their attention on Haiyuan City, and the main forces are also gathering in Haiyuan City. How much spare force can they have in Tianqiong City? Even if they forcefully invade the industrial zone of Shencheng Medicine, with all the preparations we have inside Shencheng Medicine, those Valkyries will only come and never return."

As long as you don't broadcast your tactical plans over the public address system, you shouldn't have any problems.

Raven said this in her heart. Although she thought that her relationship with the Jackal was limited to cooperation, but... they had been working together for quite a long time after all. She was more or less clear about what the Jackal was. This guy was OK in experiments, but in other aspects... I couldn't say anything good about him.

The raven even had a hunch that the jackal might actually be able to broadcast its own tactics on the public address system.

However, I must be overthinking it. In order to ensure the success of this operation in Sky City, the Jackal has put a lot of thought into the defense deployment. Even if the Jackal said nothing and did nothing, it would be enough to make those Valkyries of Destiny suffer. Not to mention that the Jackal has developed a special gas for the Valkyries, which can cause the Honkai energy in the Valkyries to continuously dissipate until they completely lose their combat effectiveness.

My appearance here is just to add an insurance. The Valkyrie sent by Tianming is Rita Rossweisse, who is one of the confidants of Tianming, the old fox bishop. Her methods must be very advanced. It is always better to be cautious.

Apart from that, Tianming's entry was not actually disadvantageous to them. Rather, it gave them another backup plan.

Actually, to be honest, Raven is more inclined towards the second young lady of Shanyat, whom he has never met, but how to say it... Just as the Jackal said, the second young lady thought things too naively. In the face of collapse, humans often have no choice.

Those who will die now because of the Stigmata Project will only suffer a temporary pain. As long as they pass the initial baptism, the survivors will all be Stigmata awakeners who can adapt to the Honkai energy, and there will no longer be the pain of separation caused by the erosion of Honkai energy.
