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

Based on this, Bronya speculated that the warrior named "Maple" might have died in the fight against Honkai.

Xi'er, who was traveling with her at the time, gave a more precise answer: "Feng died in the Final Battle. In the world bubble derived from Kevin's memories that I saw, he... died because of the betrayal of humans at the last moment. After that, the previous civilization was destroyed."

Because his comrades were betrayed and sacrificed by humans at the last moment, he no longer wants to believe in the will of humans and would rather follow his own ideas...

After listening to Bronya's thoughts, Seele sighed and said, "Kevin intervened in the test of the world bubble. Just like Uncle Walter used his own memories and past thoughts to form those world bubbles, Kevin's most impressive memories will also be brought into these world bubbles."

It seems that Xier has dealt with Kevin a lot during the time she stayed in the Quantum Sea. According to Xier herself, she was also using the world bubble created by Walter to avoid Kevin.

Then, they came to a scene composed of another memory of Kevin.

She saw that people regarded Feng, who had died, as a traitor to humanity and wanted to erase all his past files. She saw Kevin standing alone in front of the window of the lunar base, staring in the direction where his comrades had died, and behind Kevin were the researchers who were congratulating each other.

Because she knew all of Kevin's past, Bronya found it difficult to judge what Kevin's true intentions were at this moment. He no longer trusted humans, so how credible was his invitation to her?

Mr. Walter and Kevin have been fighting in the quantum sea for so long, and he set up the test to focus on Kevin. Regarding this point, when Kevin first started to get involved in the test, Joachim reminded himself to be careful of Kevin.

In other words, Kevin...actually has his eyes on the Herrscher core in his body?

That's right. After all, for Kevin, compared to a Herrscher of Reason, the inherited Herrscher core may be more worthy of his attention. Just like the gem implantation experiment that Tianming has been conducting, after obtaining the Herrscher of Reason's core, Kevin can freely choose the core carrier he thinks is valuable.

"The hero who saved the world in the past... please forgive Bronya for not being able to agree with your philosophy and choice of saving the world..." Bronya finally made her own choice and drove the Heavy Armor Bunny at full speed. Although she knew that the man in front of her was very powerful, Bronya only wanted to rescue Seele from Kevin at this time, and... she didn't think that if she rejected Kevin, Kevin would give up. Kevin might even take the Herrscher Core himself.

Kevin raised his eyes slightly, without commenting on Bronya's choice. He just stood there, as if he had no defense against Bronya who was about to rush over riding on the heavily armed bunny, and was not prepared to take any measures.

This raised Bronya's vigilance to the extreme, but as soon as she became alert, a sudden impact force instantly knocked her off the Heavy Armored Bunny, and with this blow, the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Reason was also ejected from her body.

"Is this... Kevin's strength?" Bronya, who was lying on the ground, forced herself to stand up and looked at Kevin who seemed to have not moved at all since a while ago. She was sure that the impact just now came from Kevin.

"Your will has passed the test, but your body is still unable to withstand the erosion of the Herrscher's Core." Kevin explained expressionlessly why the Herrscher's Core ejected from her body. "In the previous battle, your body was already close to its limit. It only takes a little bit of force to make your body completely unable to withstand the power of this core."

After saying that, Kevin walked to the popped-out Herrscher Core, as if he wanted to take it away, but the next moment, the Herrscher Core burst out with light, and the light quickly formed a human figure.

"Mr. Walter..." Bronya immediately recognized the person who appeared.

"Second Herrscher." Kevin stopped walking. He looked at Walter who had reconstructed his body with the Herrscher core. His tone was still calm. "You are able to integrate your will into the Herrscher core. It shows that you are really proficient in controlling this core. Your power can really help a lot in fighting against Honkai. So... I can also give you a chance."

“Humanity will eventually defeat the Honkai, but not in your way!” Walter raised one hand, and the Star of Eden was created in his hand. “Every human is an independent individual with thoughts and lives of their own. They are definitely not chess pieces that you can manipulate and consume at will! Star of Eden, rated power zero!”

However, before the gravity field was deployed, the Pseudo-Eden Star in Walter's hand was easily shattered by Kevin's own Honkai energy, and Walter himself was also knocked back a long distance by Kevin.

"Ahem...!" The body that Walter forcibly constructed in a short period of time was barely strong enough to withstand Kevin's blow. This blow alone almost destroyed his body.

"Is this the power of the savior hero of the past..." Bronya pursed her lips. This powerful and suffocating power suddenly reminded her of Lucifer who had awakened from the long river of time in the Battle of Destiny a few months ago. According to legend, Lucifer was Kevin's comrade-in-arms...

Wait, could that Feng be Lucifer? !

In this way, the reason why the former civilization finally determined that Feng was a traitor seemed to be explained. Lucifer was a Herrscher, and to the former civilization, all Herrschers were enemies, so... they identified Feng as a traitor and erased all of Feng's files.

That’s why the current civilization cannot find any trace of Lucifer from the data of the previous civilization, because Lucifer’s name in the previous civilization was not Lucifer, and Feng’s file was also deliberately erased by the previous civilization...

Bronya felt that she seemed to be close to the truth. The only difficult contradiction at the moment was that Feng had black hair, while Lucifer had silver hair in all records.

However, if becoming a Herrscher could change my hair color, then this wouldn't be a problem.

If we look at it from this perspective, could it be that...what Kevin said to him at the beginning was actually true? He really no longer believed in humans, but he was willing to believe in a Herrscher who fought for humans, because he once had such a comrade.

But even so, Bronya still found it difficult to accept Kevin's unscrupulous approach to fighting the Honkai.

While Bronya was thinking about all this, Walter was thinking about how he could take Bronya away from Kevin this time. If he used his current body as a medium to self-destruct, causing the quantum sea to vibrate, and then triggering the reconstruction of space, perhaps he could escape.

But this then raises another problem: how to leave the quantum sea. The door between the quantum sea and the intrinsic world has been opened. If you miss it this time, you may not be able to find the way next time.

However, this can also blow up the road and prevent Kevin from leaving the Quantum Sea.

"Kevin, that's enough." Another cold voice sounded.

Bronya and Walter both looked in the direction of the voice. A young man with horns on his head and dark green hair was standing not far away with his arms folded across his chest. It was not quite clear whether he was a young man. From his appearance, he did still have some characteristics of a young man, but he was more like a youth.

If you look closely, there seem to be many parts of the other person's body that have prominent inhuman features.

"Senior Kosmo..." Walter recognized the man at the first moment. When he fell into the Quantum Sea, he was defeated by Kevin. In the end, it was Kosmo who came to the rescue and stopped Kevin who wanted to directly seize the Herrscher's core. According to some fragmentary information he learned later, Kosmo seemed to have been confronting Kevin in the Quantum Sea for a thousand years.

In this quantum sea, perhaps the only one who can confront Kevin head-on is Kosmo... However, in addition to Kosmo, the girl that Bronya has always wanted to find seems to have some secrets.

Walter's eyes fell on Bronya. He had also heard about the X-10 experiment conducted by Cocolia. That Seele... was able to freely enter and exit the world bubble he created before Kevin intervened in the test he set up, and if Bronya hadn't come, he wouldn't have discovered it.

However, Seele has been gradually guiding Bronya to find the key to breaking through the test from the beginning to the end, and since the other party is about the same age as Bronya, Walter finds it difficult to judge whether Seele is a friend or an enemy.

After all, if she can freely enter and exit the world bubble she created, she might also go to the world bubble where Kevin is.

Kevin looked at Kosmo, and Kosmo just looked at Kevin without saying a word. In the end, Kevin chose to give up and turned away.

When Walter saw Kevin leaving the Quantum Sea, he wanted to stop him, but he knew very well that he could not stop Kevin by himself. Kosmo just stood aside with his arms folded, without any further action.

Seeing that Walter and Bronya didn't move, Kosmo shifted his gaze over and said, "You should also leave the Quantum Sea as soon as possible. Without the anchoring effect of the [past], the Quantum Sea will usher in an unprecedented [tide]. I will help you stop the first wave, so hurry up and leave."

After saying that, Kosmo turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Senior Kosmo." Walter said, "Kevin's power is too strong, we need your help!"

Kosmo stopped and turned his head slightly: "...Second Acting Herrscher, I stopped Kevin and helped you leave the Quantum Sea, but that doesn't mean I will go with you."

"But didn't you also fight Kevin for a thousand years?"

Kosmo turned his head back: "...That's a matter between us, and has nothing to do with you. After all, you are still not capable of realizing your ideals, at least in my opinion... With your current status, how can you shoulder the responsibility of the world he expects?"

Chapter 86 Exchange of Interests

Haiyuan City, Anti-Entropy Command Room.

"The spatial parameters near the Eye of the Abyss are distorted. Is this data from... the Herrscher of the Void? No, it can't be the Herrscher of the Void." Einstein looked at the data on the screen in front of him and narrowed his eyes. "Could it be... Lucifer Shaniyat? No, it can only be Him, but what is His purpose in appearing at the Eye of the Abyss?"

The appearance of Lucifer Shaniyat really exceeded Einstein's expectations. If Lucifer appeared in Haiyuan City, the weapons in his hands would not be usable anyway. No matter what the purpose of Lucifer's appearance here was, as long as he dared to use them, he would definitely arouse the other party's hostility.

But given Lucifer's identity and his performance in the past few months, he should not directly intervene in the fight between Destiny and Anti-Entropy unless Anti-Entropy takes the initiative to provoke him. And if he wanted to intervene, he would not appear in the Eye of the Abyss, but would appear on the battlefield to settle the matter.

So...is His appearance here related to the unusual movements that occurred in the Eye of the Abyss before?

Einstein found it difficult to determine the purpose of Lucifer's appearance in the Eye of the Abyss. After all, she was already extremely busy because the automatic defense system in the Abyss City was manually shut down. The front line was constantly retreating and reducing the defense line. Theresa and Wendy were only helping her to prevent Maria and Angelica from having the opportunity to enter the battlefield, thereby accelerating the collapse of her own defense line.

Therefore, when the Anti-Entropy's defense line gradually shrinks, Theresa and Wendy will also retreat with the Anti-Entropy troops.

Now, not only do we have to carefully arrange the deployment of troops on each defense line, but we also have to take the trouble to confirm the whereabouts of the traitor who shut down the automatic defense system of Haiyuan City, and how to turn the automatic defense system back on.

All she can do now is to buy time for Walter who is still in the Eye of the Abyss. The continuous retreat of the front line is a fact. Judging from the troops invested by both sides this time, it is only a matter of time before the City of Abyss cannot be defended.

Originally, Einstein himself was almost in despair, but Schrödinger in the quantum ocean sent her a coordinate, telling her that the coordinate would lead to the world bubble where Walter was, and she could bring Walter back, but in return, another troublesome character would come back with Walter.

As for what kind of trouble it was, Schrödinger was vague, because she had not directly confirmed the identity of the trouble. She only knew that it was very dangerous and was something Walter had always been wary of.

Just when Einstein was feeling a little upset, Tesla's communication was connected to the communication channel of Haiyuan City: "Hey, Jiwotou, how is Haiyuan City going? The problem here has been solved for the time being."

"Dr. Tesla, if possible, I still hope you can change your habit of speaking rashly." Einstein pressed his brow and said, "Things are not going well in Haiyuan City. Cocolia is missing, and the defense system has been shut down by someone inside. Maybe it won't be long before you receive news that Haiyuan City has fallen."

"This... the defense system can be turned off for other people inside?" Tesla's eyes widened. "Are you kidding me, Chicken Coop Head? No matter how unreliable Cocolia is, she wouldn't make such a mistake in the personnel arrangement of Haiyuan City, right? Could this be Cocolia's conspiracy?"

"Whether it is true or not, it has no meaning for the current situation." Einstein said, "By the way, there is another piece of news that I don't know whether it is good or bad. Lucifer seems to have appeared in the Eye of the Abyss. What is the situation over there? Have you seen Kiana?"

"I was just about to tell you this." Tesla said, "Chicken Coop Head, some of our previous speculations are actually correct. Lucifer doesn't care about the struggle between Anti-Entropy and Destiny. He doesn't treat Kiana as a [vessel], but there is no doubt that He wants to train Kiana to be the next Cecilia. The images and photos of Kiana we saw from the intelligence dealer before were indeed Kiana herself."

"Train Kiana to be the next Cecilia..." Einstein lowered his eyes, "This does solve a previous puzzle. Then what's next... Why does Lucifer who appeared in the Abyss City have the authority of the Ruler of the Void? And what is His purpose in appearing in the Eye of the Abyss?"

"Of course, it's because He is still using Kiana's body." Tesla replied, "It will take a while to explain the details. In short, Kiana's consciousness temporarily fell asleep due to some special reasons, and Lucifer took over the control of the body. As for why He appeared in Haiyuan City... We have no idea."

Einstein put his hand on his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Okay, I understand. At this point, we can only take it one step at a time. If necessary, I will be ready to evacuate."

"That's for sure. Don't people in Shenzhou always say that as long as the mountains are green, there will be no shortage of firewood. Anyway, Tianming will not continue to fight with us after this."

The reason why Tesla said this is because Haiyuan City is a relic of an ancient civilization that is isolated from the control of the Anti-Entropy Headquarters. It is an Anti-Entropy stronghold that does not belong to any country. Destiny and Anti-Entropy are fighting here. In the end, even if Anti-Entropy fails, it will not cause much loss to the Anti-Entropy headquarters in North America.

There are many reasons why Anti-Entropy was established. On the one hand, the founders who founded Anti-Entropy united other people who wanted to resist Otto's rule. Relying on the foundation of Anti-Entropy's predecessor, the North American branch of Mandate of Heaven, and Otto's fear of Walter Joyce, they were able to declare independence from Mandate of Heaven's control.

On the other hand, there is an exchange of interests with the US Congress.

Otto's dictatorship in Mandate of Heaven and the long history of Mandate of Heaven itself have suppressed the voice of other countries to a great extent. In terms of research on anti-Honkai, before Anti-Entropy became independent, Otto basically held all the power. When Otto said to go east, they dared not resist, at least on the surface, and could only make some small moves. If they were discovered, Otto might even replace the team directly.

After the establishment of Anti-Entropy, other countries that were dissatisfied with the autocracy of the Mandate of Heaven found a balance point.

On the one hand, they cooperated with Anti-Entropy so that they would no longer be constrained by destiny. On the other hand, in exchange for the support of these countries, Anti-Entropy had to give up part of its power. As a result, Einstein and Tesla still have to compete with members of Congress in North America from time to time.

Otherwise, why do we say that power and status are tempting wine?

With Otto, even politicians can only speak to him in a nice tone and be cautious when negotiating some interests. But with Anti-Entropy, they can argue with Anti-Entropy's executors over trivial matters and even interfere with some of Anti-Entropy's decisions.

There is no way around it. Anti-Entropy's foundation is too weak, even thinner than America's national history textbooks, while Mandate of Heaven has thousands of years of history and prestige. In order to gain a foothold and fight against Mandate of Heaven, they can only resort to this last resort.

The reason why Cocolia rose to power so quickly was also because she won over some countries to support her.

If Destiny is determined to destroy Anti-Entropy, this group of people will not remain indifferent. It would be better to kill them if they were forced to return to the days when they had to be humble under the oppression of Destiny.

Therefore, if Destiny were to go to war with Anti-Entropy, the final result would be a lose-lose situation for both sides. Perhaps Anti-Entropy would be eliminated on the surface, but Destiny would definitely be seriously damaged. Moreover, the fight between humans would not be of any benefit to the fight against Honkai, and it would not be of any benefit to what Otto wanted to do.

This is an external factor on the side of Anti-Entropy. The internal factor on the side of Mandate of Heaven is also a problem. Because of Anti-Entropy's independence and some of its concessions of power, although Anti-Entropy itself has been constrained, it also has an impact on those countries that are subordinate to Mandate of Heaven.

In order to stabilize those countries, Tianming can only change its previous attitude and use more benefits to win over those countries.

Those countries also know very well that without Anti-Entropy, they will not be able to obtain more of the benefits they want in front of Destiny, so they will not sit idly by and watch Destiny destroy Anti-Entropy, and will definitely come out to mediate and persuade peace.

The same goes for those countries that remain neutral between Mandate and Anti-Entropy. On the surface, neither Mandate nor Anti-Entropy can send Valkyrie troops or mecha troops to neutral countries, but secretly, those countries can use this to gain benefits from both Anti-Entropy and Mandate, such as secretly purchasing mechas from Anti-Entropy and anti-Honkai Impact 3rd serum from Mandate.

No country wants to see a situation where Tianming destroys Ni-Entropy and becomes the only dominant power. After all, no matter what, at least on the surface, Ni-Entropy has not left Tianming with any evidence that could cause a stir in the international community. As for some secret experiments, it can only be said that Tianming and Ni-Entropy both have them, and everyone knows it, so no one should blame anyone else unless it is exposed.

The reason why Einstein and Tesla were so persistent in not wanting to give up Haiyuan City was actually because it was the only way to get Walter back. Other reasons were dispensable to them but very important to Cocolia.

Cocolia relied on the support of other countries' dignitaries to rise to power, and she also did not want to be constrained by people like congressmen. Haiyuan City was the basis for her to turn against them in the future. Here she could be completely undisturbed and do what she wanted without any interference.

So she couldn't give up Haiyuan City no matter what.

After thinking for a while, Einstein's eyes fell on the data of the Eye of the Abyss. Now the Eye of the Abyss has been opened, and it has not been long since it was closed. If Walter had not come out during this period of time, with Lucifer watching here, it would be impossible for him to take risky moves and the final result would be to abandon the Abyss City and evacuate.

Exhaling slowly, she finally made a decision: "All units, immediately speed up the contraction of the battle line, avoid excessive fighting with the Valkyrie as much as possible, conserve your strength, and be ready to evacuate Haiyuan City at any time."

On the other side, Theresa, who was fighting with Maria, naturally heard Einstein's decision. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since Einstein had decided to abandon Haiyuan City and evacuate at any time, that deadly thing would definitely not be used.

She couldn't bear to continue fighting with Maria. Although before coming, she could further release the power of Vishnu in her body through Einstein's research on her Blood Knight Armor, but just as her goal was to delay Maria, Maria was not in a hurry to defeat her. She was determined to fight with her with the Shaniyat team she led.

But the situation on the battlefield between Wendy and Angelica was different. Compared to Angelica, Wendy, even though she was also a Herrscher, found it difficult to resist and could only barely fight with Angelica, and had to rely on the Anti-Entropy Mecha to interfere with Angelica.

Besides, Wendy's condition doesn't look very good now.

"You are indeed good enough. No wonder you were rated as an S-level Valkyrie Seed." Angelica looked at Wendy who was holding her left hand and said, "I don't quite understand why you gave up your destiny and chose Anti-Entropy. Can Anti-Entropy give you more than your destiny?"

“Heh…” Wendy forced a smile. “Choose Anti-Entropy? Don’t be ridiculous. Whether it’s Destiny or Anti-Entropy… There are hypocrites everywhere that disgust me. I’m just following Principal Theresa.”

"But you have become the enemy of destiny after all. You desire the gems, and I will take them back for the bishop." Angelica said coldly, "You have no chance of winning."

"I never thought I could win." Wendy said. Her left hand had lost sensation and might not be able to be used for a while. But even with the help of the Anti-Entropy Mech, she was still beaten so badly by Angelica. Although Angelica was also injured, she still had some strength left. She was almost unable to hold on.

"Ms. Theresa, and Wendy, you don't need to delay any longer. Follow the retreating mecha troops to the vicinity of the Eye of the Abyss. The defense system has been restarted and should be able to hold out for a while." Einstein's voice sounded in the communication channel.

"Finally I've waited for you... If you keep fighting, I'll really be dead..."

Wendy said this in her heart, and without any hesitation, she created a storm that temporarily disturbed Angelica, and then ran away with Theresa.

Angelica descended from the air to Maria's side and said, "Should we continue chasing?"

"No need to bend over. The original order given by the bishop was for us to ensure that the loss of Tianming in this battle is minimized. As for them..." Maria put a hand on her headset, "The bishop just gave an order for us to advance steadily. There is no need to rush to chase them. Tianming can still use some things in Haiyuan City. Don't tear down everything here."

"What about the Desire Gem?"

"The bishop said there's no rush. Anyway, Saint Freya is barely an ally of Anti-Entropy right now. The Desire Gem can't be considered Anti-Entropy. As long as it's not Anti-Entropy, then everything will be fine."

Chapter 87 Return

"I have long lost the authority of the origin, and there will never be another Feng."

"Kevin, you should understand that we have no way out this time."

"I'm sorry, Kevin... We cannot agree with your views and actions."

"...From now on, I will be your caretaker."

……

As he was about to return to the original world, the hero who once held the inscription of [Savior] suddenly recalled memories from a long time ago. The great war a thousand years ago actually ended with his concession to Su. He had given the Skyfire to Kaslana a long time ago, but the [past] was still in his hands. Except for Alicia who had already disappeared with the [Future], the remaining forerunners simply did not have the power to stop him.

He just chose to give in to his old friend in the end.

He was willing to give humans some more time, until now...

"Feng... is he back already..."

The world today is the world that Feng told herself in the past, a world that will surely defeat the Honkai. However... whether it is the humans who could only rely on Kaslana and Shaniyat to fight bloody battles a thousand years ago, or the Herrschers who hold overly idealistic beliefs a thousand years later, they cannot produce evidence that can make themselves believe that they can defeat the Honkai.
