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

Therefore, Bronya's mood was quite complicated. She could only say: "Can I... go see them?"

While Bronya and the others were talking, Einstein and Theresa also met Cocolia.

"Cocolia, do you know what you did?!" The usually calm Einstein looked at Cocolia in front of him and couldn't help but said coldly, "What else can the raid on the old Mandate headquarters, Kolosten, bring except intensifying the conflict between Mandate and Anti-Entropy?"

"The conflict is intensifying? Aren't there already hostile relations between Destiny and Anti-Entropy?" Kokolia said nonchalantly, "Besides, I just agreed to the request of the Apokalis family and cooperated with them a little bit. Even the Apokalis of the three major families have complaints about Destiny, so Destiny is like this. Even if Otto cleans up the Apokalis family, it won't do any harm to us Anti-Entropy."

"So you broke the agreement with the Apokalis family, said one thing in front of them and another behind their backs, raided Kolosten and left, leaving the Apokalis family to face Otto's reckoning, right?" Theresa said coldly to Cocolia.

"After all, the Apokalis family is also a member of the Mandate of Heaven. During the Second Collapse, Anti-Entropy was also stabbed in the back by the Mandate of Heaven." Cocolia sneered and said, "I am curious, why do you, Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla, the two elders, always think that Anti-Entropy can coexist peacefully with the Mandate of Heaven? We are obviously an international organization that can compete with the Mandate of Heaven, but we are always constrained by the Mandate of Heaven on many matters."

Crazy, really crazy, what's going on in this woman's head?

This was the common thought in Theresa and Einstein's minds at this moment.

No, sister, who gave you the confidence to make you think that Anti-Entropy and Destiny have the capital to compete with each other in terms of armed strength? Anti-Entropy can survive because it is not worth the loss for Destiny to destroy it. Anti-Entropy can sneak underground at any time. As long as one person is still alive, Anti-Entropy will still exist, but this does not mean that Anti-Entropy has the strength to confront Destiny head-on.

Cocolia looked at Theresa and Einstein's changing expressions and just snorted. In her eyes, Einstein and others had always been too conservative. Because they were unwilling to have a head-on conflict with destiny, Anti-Entropy had always been at a disadvantage. What did these conservatives think of Anti-Entropy's development over the years?

Indeed, if a full-scale conflict breaks out head-on, Anti-Entropy will suffer, but if Destiny wants to take on Anti-Entropy, it must also consider whether it will hurt its own teeth. Even if Destiny wins, what will it do? What can a severely damaged Destiny use to fight against Honkai? Will Otto's Kallen be resurrected?

Given Otto's character, he would definitely not do such a loss-making business.

What's more, the old feud between her and the Shaniyat family could not be reconciled at all. Her undercover agent on the conservative side told her that in the early years, Einstein had cooperated with the leader Walter to collect a sample of the Shaniyat holy blood from Cecilia Shaniyat.

Cocolia just didn't believe that Einstein and Tesla hadn't done research on this. Conservatives may be conservative, but they couldn't be without a plan to deal with crises. There have been a lot of frictions between Anti-Entropy and Shaniyat over the years. They must have considered the last resort once the relationship between the two sides completely broke down.

So she wanted to drag the entire Anti-Entropy into the water and force these conservatives to stand on the same boat with her. Only in this way could she settle all the grievances with the Shaniyat family over the years!

Chapter 74 See You Again in the Sky

Sky City.

Kiana stood in a convenience store and picked up a can of drink. The time for the action planned with Rita was about to come, but she suddenly felt a little confused.

Is it really right to think that he could stop the Jackal's plan?

Whether it was the memories of Feng that she saw from Admiller in that desolate space, or the stories about the previous civilization that she had pursued in the paradise of the past during her free time in class... they all proved that victory against the collapse could not be achieved by naivety alone.

The collapse will never stop because of the joys and sorrows of mankind. No matter how hard the previous civilization tried to resist the collapse, in the end, everything will return to dust.

She...actually understood why Mebius wanted to take such an extreme screening method. Unlike herself in the current civilization, the heroes had already failed twice. The second time, even when they were prepared, the collapse changed with their choice, causing the direction of fate to return to the starting point in the end.

She once asked Feng: "Feng, if I am the end, why do you choose to believe in me now?"

"To tell you the truth, Kiana, I actually wanted to kill you right away at first." Feng answered, "After all, just as you thought, in my eyes at that time, you were the end, the messenger of destruction, the machine that made civilization reincarnate countless times... At that time, I was also thinking, if I just strangled you in the cradle, would humanity be able to defeat the collapse and cross the end?"

"And then? Why did you change your mind in the end? Why did you forcibly bring me back from the desert, while your own body remained there?"

"Because I chose to believe, that's all."

"Believe? Why?"

Feng took off his sunglasses, and what Kiana saw were the same eyes as Alicia's. This was probably a little trick of Alicia. No wonder Feng always wore sunglasses. He said, "Because I have seen the miracle called 'Alisa', so I am willing to believe in the next miracle called 'Kiana'."

She stared at Feng blankly. She still didn't quite understand what Feng meant. Feng just put on his sunglasses again and said calmly, "Why do I think so? You will naturally get the answer in the future. As for now, you might as well treat this as a suspense and think about it and experience it yourself in the rest of your life."

Think for yourself...

Seeing Kiana remained silent, Feng just said: "You may still mind your identity, the end, Kiana, k423, but it doesn't matter. You are how others see you, and what kind of person you are and what kind of identity you have depends on what you think in your heart."

Does it depend on me?

Kiana came back to her senses from her memories. Just as Feng said, she was looking for an answer of her own. Everything she did now was just because when she heard the news from Feng, she subconsciously thought that it was wrong. Then Feng suggested that she come over and try, so she came over.

How to refute the jackal, why should we oppose the jackal?

She found that she still hadn't figured out the answer to this question. Now that the action was approaching, as the main force of the action, she would definitely face the Jackal in the end. If the other party questioned her position, how should she answer?

Are you against it because you can't bear it?

Are you against it because you think it is wrong?

Kiana was thinking. She opposed the Jackal's plan in her heart, but she didn't know how she should oppose the Jackal and Mobius behind the Jackal. She didn't know what the Jackal was thinking, but she knew what Mobius was thinking. As a pioneer and a hero, Mobius and his men had failed twice, and this time, they had reasons not to fail no matter what. For this reason, they would choose the way they thought was the safest to fight against the Honkai.

Kiana felt that her mind was a little confused at the moment. She felt that she still had to think about it carefully when she returned. If she had not thought it through before the action plan began, she would have to stop thinking about it and finish the task at hand first.

After all, the opponents are the Jackal and the Raven. According to the information from Shaniyat in the World Serpent, one of them is a scientific research madman, and the other is a powerful mercenary well-known in North America. Mia assessed her strength as being able to fight against the Judgment-level Honkai Beast. Her strength should not be underestimated. Now that she has involved Rita and others, if the efforts of others are wasted because of her momentary hesitation... that is the situation she hates the most and does not want to see the most.

Kiana went to the counter to pay, and when she was about to leave the convenience store, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her: "Kiana!"

Mei? Was she so distracted that she didn't notice Mei was nearby? No, she had clearly told Mia and the others to have the Shanyat family here drive Mei and the others away. On the one hand, she felt that she was no longer the Kiana who could live carefree with them in Saint Freya. On the other hand, Sky City would face a huge crisis next, and she didn't want Mei and the others to be involved.

Even if the other party is the special force that Senior Paduo mentioned, how can we say it... Teacher Himeko, Mei, Dr. Tesla and Mei's father, these four people... are they not strong enough? Mei was still a B-level Valkyrie when they last met, not to mention that the Conquest Gem is also in her body, and Teacher Himeko's physical condition does not seem to be optimistic, Dr. Tesla is just a civilian staff, and as for Mei's father... Although I don't know how strong Mei's father is, he is probably not as strong as Rita.

Kiana subconsciously wanted to leave, but she knew that this day would come sooner or later. Since Mei was able to find this place despite Mia and the others' pursuit, it would be useless for her to leave because she would definitely find her again.

So she stopped and as soon as she turned around, the girl hugged her tightly from behind.

"Kiana... I finally found you."

"Mei..." Kiana noticed that Mia seemed to be coming over not far away, and made a gesture to signal Mia not to act rashly.

Mia understood and retreated into the darkness. The other Shaniyat family members who were about to come over also received the signal and moved away from here.

After confirming that everyone else had left, Kiana looked at Mei, who had calmed down somewhat. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke: "Mei...long time no see."

"Kiana, listen to me, the Shanyat family is nearby..." Hearing Kiana's words, Mei became excited again, "Let's first..."

"Mei." Kiana's voice was calm, "They are all members of my team."

"Eh?" Mei was stunned when she heard the answer, "Kiana...what...were you talking about?"

"The members of the Shaniyat family you saw were actually mobilized by me." Kiana decided to confront Mei, "I think you may have misunderstood something, but... if you want me to return to Saint Freya, my answer is: it's impossible."

"Why? Kiana, as long as Lucifer's consciousness is still asleep, as long as we return to Saint Freya, even if it's the Shaniyat family..."

"Mei, things are not that simple. Don't underestimate the Shanyiat family." Kiana said, and her eyes fell on a white-haired woman in sunglasses who appeared at some unknown time and was leaning against the wall of a building across the street, seemingly reading a newspaper.

By the way, the Lucifer you mentioned is watching us from across the street right now, Kiana said in her mind.

As Kiana thought about this, she reached out to Mei to let go of her hands. She turned around and said to Mei: "Mei, Sky City is very dangerous now. I don't want to see you get hurt, so..."

"We can face it together, right?" Mei asked in confusion, "If there is any crisis in Sky City that you need to deal with, we can help, right?"

Kiana looked at Mei, she saw concern for herself in the girl's eyes, she knew that if she needed it, as long as she asked, the girl in front of her would definitely follow her even if the road ahead was full of swords and seas of fire.

only……

They are not even from the same world now. Mei doesn't know who is the mastermind behind the crisis in Sky City, nor does she know the weight of the world that they are carrying behind the scenes.

Let's not talk about the distant past. Just take the experimental subjects that the Jackal prepared in the Shencheng Pharmaceutical Industrial Park. How much help can Meiyi give? That is really too dangerous for Meiyi.

"No, Mei, you don't understand." Kiana shook her head. She thought that she might have a chance to tell Mei all this, but she also thought that Mei shouldn't know all this. She just had to face it all by herself.

After all, from the very beginning, he was the only one in this vortex, and there was no need for Mei and the others to be involved.

"Kiana..."

"Mei, I'm glad we can meet again here, but the past life has become the past. The last separation was so hasty that we didn't even have time to say goodbye, and now..."

"That's not the case, Kiana!"

"Mei!" Kiana put her hands on Mei's shoulders and looked at the girl in front of her. "You know, I don't want anyone to be hurt because of me, especially you, my aunt and Bronya. This matter has nothing to do with you. I will handle everything, so... Mei, promise me that you will stay away from here and don't get involved, okay?"

A certain white-haired guy has put down the newspaper and taken out popcorn.

Mei looked into Kiana's eyes. She knew that Kiana was really thinking about her and that she didn't want her to get hurt, but...

She really... was unwilling...

Why can only Kiana face it alone? Why can only Kiana protect me...

Why, Kiana, why do you let me see again and again that the distance between you and me is getting farther and farther? You rescued me from the darkness, but I can't stand by your side and walk with you... Kiana, why is this?

I also want to be able to do something for you, instead of just seeing you walking ahead of me, helping me and saving me when I need you, while I am powerless when you need me...

"At least... let me know if there is anything I can do to help you besides escaping..." Mei lowered her head, her voice trembling a little, "Kiana, I know, maybe for you, you saved me in Changkong City because you thought you needed to help me, but for me, if it weren't for you, I would have died on that day... So, don't say that anymore, okay?"

Kiana looked at Mei, pursed her lips, and said after a while: "Mei..."

Then she put down her hand on Mei's shoulder and walked past Mei: "Maybe one day, I will tell you the answer to all this, but it won't be now. Let the past be the past."

Mei turned around and wanted to chase after him, but at this moment, people from the Shaniyat family appeared and stood between her and Kiana.

They didn't take action, but they also didn't intend to let Mei pass.

When she returned to her temporary base, Rita happened to be there. Kiana asked the question that had been bothering her before, and asked Rita what she thought about the Jackal's experiment.

Rita's answer was quite official: "Based on the information we have collected so far, the success rate of Jackal's plan is still unknown, but the price is the people of the entire Sky City. We also saw the situation of the people after the failure of this experiment in a place where the collapse occurred. They were originally normal humans, but they became dead soldiers because they could not bear the side effects of the awakening of the stigmata. As the Valkyries of Destiny, it is our duty to protect the people."

"Is it my duty?" Kiana lowered her eyes. "But, Rita, what if the Jackal's experiment is also a means for humans to fight the Honkai?"

"I can only forgive Rita for her shallow knowledge and short-sightedness." Rita said nonchalantly, "For Rita, protecting and better protecting the people of today is her duty, and it is also the original intention of Rita to become a Valkyrie. Maybe the ideals of the Jackal Lady are noble, but Rita does not dare to agree with them."

Seeing that Kiana remained silent, Rita took out a small paper flower and placed it in front of Kiana, saying, "This is a paper flower made by the child you saved. She said that I was the Valkyrie of destiny and that maybe I could meet you, so she asked me to pass it on to you."

The rescued child?

Kiana picked up the paper flower and thought for a long time but couldn't remember which child it was. After all, she had saved so many people during this period of time that she couldn't remember who they had been saved for a while.

"Of course, besides that child, there are other people who want me to pass on things to you, but there are too many things. I can only bring some small things with me." Rita said and took out a folded painting. "Oh, and this painting was also drawn by a child."

Kiana unfolded the painting and could tell it was indeed drawn by a child. The painting was not very delicate, but it was also clear that the child was very serious in drawing the Sky Ranger in his impression, the hero who stood against monsters.

Rita went on to say, "I once heard the bishop say that when he was visiting the people affected by the Honkai, a Valkyrie asked him, 'Can Honkai be eliminated by caring for them and mending the fences after the sheep have been sheeped?' The bishop replied, 'No, but Destiny has always used this method to convey its beliefs.' This sentence completely changed the Valkyrie's view of herself as a Valkyrie, and made her realize that everything she did with her beliefs was meaningful, and that the beautiful things they protected would become seeds, and one day they would bloom into flowers."

"The name of that Valkyrie is Ragnar Lodbrok, the captain of the Valkyrie squad that Miss Muliangta Himeko once served in."

Chapter 75: What Happened That Year

"Teacher Jizi's former boss..." Kiana thought, "When I was in Saint Freya, I didn't hear Teacher Jizi talk about her past. Is she okay now?"

When she was in Saint Freya, she would either look through historical books to find out about the Shaniyat family or Cecilia's deeds that might be related to Feng, or she would skip classes and school.

However, since he was Teacher Jizi's former boss, he should still be in Tianming now, right? After she was brought back to Tianming by the monitor from Saint Freya, she didn't move around much or communicate with other people. The only person she communicated with more was Youlandel. At that time, she was close to giving up. Apart from relying on the last bit of willpower to prevent the Second Herrscher from taking advantage of her, she didn't know what to do.

During the period after Feng forced her to face reality and regain control of her body, she basically didn't care about the matter of destiny. She spent most of her time studying and training, or entering the paradise of the past to accept trials. Except for visiting Kaslana's house, she almost numbly accepted Feng's arrangements for her, and she really didn't know much about other things.

Hearing this, Rita was silent for a moment, and then she said, "Senior Ragnar...she died a long time ago."

"Eh?" Kiana was stunned. She still noticed the unnaturalness that flashed across Rita's silence at that time. "Sorry... I..."

"Ah, you don't have to apologize to me. This matter itself has nothing to do with you." Rita restrained the emotions in her eyes. "But it is indeed as you think. Rita also has some fate with that senior. When I first entered the Sky Mandate Headquarters, it was Senior Ragnar who wrote a letter of recommendation to Rita."

"I see..." Kiana realized that Rita had no intention of telling her more. Based on Rita's silence at the time and the unnatural emotions in her eyes, Kiana was basically certain that this matter... might, perhaps, be related to herself again?

So she looked at Mia.

Mia is a member of the Shaniat family, she should know something about Ragnar.

Mia understood and said, "Ragnar Lodbrok, former combat instructor directly under the Sky Headquarters and captain of the Valkyrie Stormtroopers, died in the battle with the Herrscher of the Sky in 2010."

2010, wasn’t that the year I…

Kiana looked at Rita in silence. Rita lowered her eyes and said, "Rita, you still say the same thing. This matter itself has nothing to do with you. You are you, and the Herrscher of the Void is the Herrscher of the Void."

The Herrscher of the Void... Speaking of which, after I regained control of my body, the Herrscher of the Void was locked in the depths of my consciousness. When I entered the trial of the paradise of the afterlife, she was also taken in...

In 2010, her 12th birthday... Yes, that day was really the most important turning point in her life so far. When she was 11 years old, she had the name "Kiana", and when she was 12 years old, she met...

It is basically certain that during the time when he lost consciousness on his 12th birthday, the Herrscher of the Void woke up again.

If that's the case, Feng must know about this, right?

"I'll be out for a while." Kiana said and left.

She went outside, took out her communicator, hesitated for a moment, then turned it on. The other party connected the call almost immediately.

"Feng." Kiana said.

"What's wrong? Why are you speaking in such a serious tone?" Feng's somewhat careless voice sounded from the other end of the communicator.

"What happened in 2010, the year your voice first appeared in my mind? Ragnar Lodbrok... do you know him?"

"I don't know everyone, but as for Ragnar... I seem to have some impression of this name. Wait a moment." After Feng said this, the other side of the communicator fell into a temporary silence.

Kiana waited patiently for a while until Feng's voice sounded again on the communicator: "Ragnar Lodbrok, this Valkyrie is related to most of the people around you. She introduced Rita to the Skyward Headquarters, and was also the reason why Bianca became a Valkyrie."

"So what happened when she died?"

"...On the last day when Siegfried took you to live in seclusion in East Siberia, the Valkyrie led by Ragna discovered your tracks. Then, at that time, the Herrscher of the Void awakened, and the Valkyrie led by Ragna was wiped out except for Himeko Inoue who was absent for some reason." Feng said, "According to the report of the eyewitness Gray Snake, Ragna had the opportunity to hurt the Herrscher of the Void, but she hesitated in the end."

Gray Snake... As the main intelligence officer of World Serpent, that guy is really everywhere. No, since he is present, does that mean that all the whereabouts of me and Mr. Siegfried are under the surveillance of World Serpent? According to my importance at that time, if Miss Ragnar really had the opportunity to kill me, Gray Snake would most likely kill Miss Ragnar first before that.
