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

For other visitors, there is a small probability that the door of the fallen angels will appear in the paradise according to their inner fluctuations. But this time, Feng was directly teleported to the other side of the paradise of the past life, the real residence of the fallen angels, the other side of the underworld, where she will be tested by all thirteen fallen angels.

Although this transmission method is really a bit...

However, it did allow her to see a glimpse of Feng's true power.

After this operation is over, I will also start a new journey to paradise.

As for the fallen angels, Kiana basically only knew their names but never saw them in person in the paradise. Apart from Feng, she had only seen Beffinger, who occasionally came out to promote to her the various weird CPs that the Fire Moths had been supporting back then, and Astaroth, who would appear in Grayshu's studio from time to time. She had never seen other fallen angels, even Lilith, whom she saw every day in reality.

Speaking of the tastes of people in the previous civilization... they are really a bit weird. Who was the genius who came up with that CP article about Feng x Tianhuo?

CP stories like Feng x Mobius, Feng x Pado, and even Feng x Kevin or Su are understandable, because at least the objects are still human beings. But Feng x Tianhuo is not even a human being!

Does Feng really have no objection?

Beffinger gave her a thumbs up and said, "Don't worry, he hasn't beaten me to death yet, has he?"

Kiana: "..."

You are the one who started it all, right? You are the ultimate troublemaker! Does it mean that he has no problem with not being beaten to death?

Just as Kiana was complaining in her heart, Beffinger suddenly pushed his monocle, leaned down slightly to get closer to Kiana, and said in a bewitching tone: "Do you want to take a look at... the article I tailored for you and him?"

Kiana: “!”

"Haha, just kidding. After all, you are not a trial participant in my field, at least not now." Beffinger stood up again and raised his hat towards Kiana. "But, when you step into my door, maybe you can consider my proposal?"

It really is……

No, stop, now is not the time to think about these things.

Kiana forced herself to pull back her thoughts that had strayed a little too far. A biting cold wind blew from the tunnel ahead. She looked at the others in her group and said, "Is everyone okay? The temperature in this area is already lower than normal for ordinary people to move around."

She is now a Herrscher herself, and also possesses the authority of the Herrscher of Fire which counteracts the authority of the Herrscher of Ice. She is not very afraid of the cold wind. Raven herself is a fusion warrior, and her adaptability to extreme environments is far superior to that of ordinary Valkyries. What she is worried about are her companions such as Yulandel who are neither fusion warriors nor Herrschers.

"Don't worry, this little bit of cold wind is no problem for me. But..." Yulandel shifted her gaze to Leonie who was walking in front, and a night owl who was warned to be careful.

Compared to me, they are just ordinary people, right?

Yulandel remembered Otto's instructions before she came here. Leonie was the reserve for the next head of the Kaslana family, and she was asked to try her best to ensure her safety. Originally, she wanted Leonie to stay in the camp and build a defense line with other Valkyries, but Leonie insisted on coming.

Seeing the determination in the other party's eyes, Yulandel did not stop him, but also made a request that if the situation worsened, she must complete the mission and return to the camp area immediately.

"I don't have any problems either. The current temperature is not high enough to freeze the machines in my body and stop them from working." Night Owl said in a calm tone.

Noticing the gazes of Yulandel and Kiana, Night Owl tore open the corner of his clothes nonchalantly, revealing the luster of the iron bionic prosthesis underneath, and then said: "I am not like you Valkyries who have high adaptability to Honkai energy. After being eroded by Honkai energy, my condition deteriorates quickly, just like many ordinary people who have no choice but to choose bionic prosthesis in the end. However, my bionic prosthesis is more advanced than theirs. Other ordinary people like me either can't afford the price, or it's difficult for them to even maintain a human appearance."

"After all, he is a World Serpent agent who often has to carry out various missions. His prosthetics can naturally withstand the test of various extreme environments." Raven glanced at Night Owl, "And with the assistance of these prosthetics, you can also use Honkai energy to resist the cold to a certain extent."

Night Owl ignored the raven, he just looked forward, the cold wind seemed to become even more harsh, if the temperature continued to drop like this, no matter how strong his prosthesis was, it would not last long.

Leonie, who was walking in front, let out a breath of white air and said, "Don't worry, I still have the Valkyrie Armor on me. The current temperature is still within the range that the Valkyrie Armor can withstand. What's more... don't forget, I am from the Kaslana family..."

Kiana and Yulandel looked at each other, and then looked at Leonie's stubborn figure moving forward. Kiana spoke first, "You really don't have to force yourself, Leonie."

"Kaslana will never let go of Shanyat's hand again. We have walked through a thousand years of wind and snow together, and have been each other's sword and shield." Leonie turned her head slightly to look at Kiana, "More than a decade ago, this hand loosened, and it was not until now that it was held again... I will never let it loose again..."

Kiana and Yulandel lowered their eyes.

Leonie's eyes fell on the Skyfire Judge on Kiana's waist and the Black Abyss White Flower in Yulandel's hand. After lingering on the two for a while, she turned back to look forward and said softly: "Before every operation, Anna would ask everyone to make sure that the equipment they carry is in good condition, and that they are in good condition. All she does is to ensure that no one in the Snow Lotus team is left behind after each operation. This time... is no different."

"Everyone has to go back, including herself."

She paused for a moment, and then continued, "I heard that in Saint Freya Academy, there are Herrschers who fight for humanity, including the current enemy of Destiny, the leader of Anti-Entropy... So, is it possible that Anna..."

"She can do it. She has to believe in Anna." Yulandel said, "Believe in the will of every Shaniyat."

But Kiana remained silent. She hesitated. Her past experience in the paradise and Feng's warning told her that Anna's situation was not so optimistic. If necessary, she might have to take extreme measures to defeat her.

But can she say it?

The girl walking in front is so determined to bring Anna back, but her wish is as fragile as a dream in the face of reality.

"Yes, believe in Shaniyat's will..." Night Owl also whispered, "She can definitely... do it."

Kiana still didn't say anything. She was just about to speak out to agree with Yulandel, at least it would have some comforting effect, when the cold wind in front of her became stronger again. Kiana narrowed her eyes and suddenly reached out to hold a piece of ice crystal mixed in the biting cold wind.

"What's wrong, Kiana?" Yulandel looked at Kiana.

The ice crystals melted in Kiana's hands. She swallowed what she wanted to say and said, "...It's nothing. Let's keep going."

The worst situation still happened. Inside this ice crystal... is Anna's memory.

Feng said that the appearance of memory ice crystals means the gradual disappearance of Anna's human personality.

At the same time, outside the coral island.

Mei looked warily at the black-haired young man in front of her. The young man was wearing sunglasses and said calmly, "Raiden Mei, you came here alone, what exactly do you want?"

Chapter 113: Hollow Heart

"Come to think of it, when I heard that there was a Shaniyat joining my team, I had mixed feelings."

The girl who was sorting her equipment looked up at her captain with some confusion.

"Well, just consider it my little prejudice. After all, the Shaniyat family is one of the three major families that founded Tianming. It is also a family that has been working for Tianming until now. It has an independent team that is completely controlled by the family. To be honest, I was actually worried at that time whether it would be difficult to communicate with Shaniyat who came to our Xuelian team."

Is it difficult to get along with? It seems... some of my compatriots are indeed difficult to get along with, but as for the Black Abyss, they are just like that.

"But rather than being afraid of being difficult to get along with, I think it's more like... there's some element of awe involved." Another team member interrupted, "Before Anna came over, I racked my brains for a long time to think about how to speak in front of Shaniyat in a more polite manner."

"There's no need to be so nervous, right? The Shanyiat family isn't some man-eating devil..." She smiled helplessly and said, "A family that doesn't keep up with the times and stays in the past will eventually be eliminated by history. The Shanyiat family isn't that rigid."

"Well, I only found out after I met you. After all, think about it, only a few people can get in touch with the Shanyatid family, right? For ordinary people like us, Shanyatid is like... a lighthouse, standing there for thousands of years, illuminating the way forward for mankind. To be honest, I was saved by the Shanyatid family when I was a child."

"Yes, when I first became a Valkyrie, the Valkyrie I admired most was Lady Cecilia. If that incident hadn't happened later...ah, sorry, Anna, I didn't mean to mention that person..."

Seeing her teammates' panicked expressions, she suddenly realized that her expression was a little out of control at that moment. That incident, that person... was someone that the Shanyiat family could never forgive...

Wait, what was that person's name?

……

Finally, we are about to arrive at where Anna is. We can already see the icicle that Leonie mentioned, which was formed when Anna froze herself before she became a Herrscher.

But the discoveries along the way did make everyone feel even more depressed.

The first piece of ice crystal of memory was collected by Kiana and melted in her hands. The second and third pieces finally fell into the hands of Yulandel and others. Only then did everyone realize that Anna's memory as a human being was constantly disappearing. Kiana, who should know the most information among the crowd, had to explain the situation to everyone.

"Anna was forcibly chosen by Honkai to become a Herrscher. As Leonie said, she did not give up the fight against Honkai at the beginning, and bought time for the Snow Lotus team to evacuate, reducing the scope of the disaster. However..." Kiana reached out and caught another ice crystal that fell from the direction of the icicle. "As you can see, the ice crystals you have collected along the way are Anna's memories. Her memories will continue to be lost in the fight against Honkai, until only the most painful memories remain..."

"Is there no other way?" Yulandel asked, "For example, before her memory completely disappears..."

"There is no other way. Becoming a Herrscher is irreversible." Kiana said, "Anna's memories turning into ice crystals and dissipating only speeds up the process, which means that her personality as a human is dissipating... Once a human becomes a Herrscher, all we can do is either pin our hopes on her ability to overcome the will of Honkai, or... eradicate the trouble."

Everyone looked at Kiana.

Kiana ignored the gazes of others and instead fixed her eyes on the ice pillar where Anna was. She looked down at her hands. She didn't know if the power of the saint in her body could still work this time, but when she met Mei in Changkong City, she used her power of the saint under Feng's guidance to suppress the Honkai energy in Mei's body, hindering Mei's further process of becoming the Herrscher of Thunder.

But at that time, Mei's human personality had not dissipated, the Herrscher of Thunder's personality was still weak, and her authority was incomplete. She was merely a Herrscher born under the guidance of the Conquest Gem.

At present, the Herrscher of Ice was not born with the mediation of gems. She has possessed complete authority since her birth, but her authority was suppressed because of Anna's resistance to the Herrscher's personality.

What's more, in order to maximize the effect of his Saint's power, he has to touch Anna. Now Anna has frozen herself in an icicle. If he wants to touch Anna, he has to break the icicle. But after breaking the icicle, it is hard to say whether the Herrscher of Ice or Anna will be released.

"There must be another way... Anna is from the Shaniyat family. If Lucifer, the ancestor believed by the Shaniyat family, really exists, if He really responded to Lady Cecilia's call during the Second Collapse..." Leonie whispered, "Why can't He do this time..."

"During the Second Great Collapse, Lucifer... gave Cecilia-sama power, but Cecilia-sama still died in the end because her body could not bear Lucifer's power. Lucifer would respond to Shaniyat's wishes, but the way he fulfilled his wishes was often no different from destruction." Kiana tried her best to keep her tone calm, "Besides... why should we place all our hopes on Lucifer-sama? Can the Collapse be overcome with just a beautiful wish?"

While Kiana was speaking, she was also always on guard against Night Owl behind her. She didn't know what kind of obsession Night Owl had with Anna, but it was always a good idea to be careful at this time.

In any case, as long as there is a slight possibility, she is willing to give it a try. Unless things really come to a last resort, she must draw her sword for the lives of other survivors on the coral island who have not yet evacuated.

At this moment, she suddenly understood the helplessness behind Kevin's words: "Saving the world is not easy, sometimes we can't even save one person."

But if you don't try, you will never know what the outcome will be. Even if you try your best and fail to save a person, it is better than letting someone die without helping.

"Let's proceed according to the original plan. Raven, Night Owl, the arrangement of the Yellow Spring Staff is left to you. No matter what state Anna is in right now, use the Yellow Spring Staff to suppress her authority and temporarily make her lose her ability to resist. After that, I will try to break the ice and strive to hit her with one strike."

……

She still remembered the near despair she felt as she walked among the lifeless ruins. She could not contact her comrades, and all means of communication became ineffective after the collapse.

"Don't worry, with me here, there will be no accidents during the mission."

This is what she told the captain and others before the mission began. She was a member of the Shaniyat family, and she thought this was her natural thing.

Shaniyat is the sword that protects humanity. Our bloodline is inherited from the apostle of God who fell from the sky. We are born noble. We should raise the sword in our hands to protect the weak and fight against the [Honkai] who claims to be a god. This is our responsibility.

"But, in the end, who did you protect?"

"..."

"You can say that you saved those civilians. You can use this to comfort yourself by saying that you at least protected them. But aren't you also using this to avoid a fact?"

"..."

"You have actually been running away the whole time. You were running away from the collapse. You watched your comrades and your captain die in front of you, but you were powerless to do anything. You even... You ran away shamefully."

"..."

"Even if you finally killed that emperor-level Honkai beast, so what? Can you change the fact that you chose to escape in the beginning? Can you change the fact that when the Honkai broke out, you didn't stand in front of a comrade who was right beside you because you were facing the fear of the Honkai outbreak for the first time?"

"..."

"Admit it. You have tarnished the glorious name of Shaniyat. You were shamefully cowardly. You failed to protect your comrades, and instead had a despicable retreat."

Yes, she was acting together with her best Valkyrie in the team, but when the Honkai broke out, she retreated because of momentary fear and hesitation. If she had not hesitated at that time, she could have stood in front of her friend and relied on the Shaniyat Holy Blood in her body to block most of the Honkai energy for her. In this way, her friend would most likely not have died.

"Over the years, you have been hypnotizing yourself, telling yourself that even if you blocked most of the impact of this Houkai energy, your friends might not survive. However, you know very well that trying your best but failing is different from not trying at all from the beginning."

"I……"

The figures of other tribesmen appeared in front of the girl. They all looked at her without saying a word. Their eyes seemed to be rebuking her for her momentary cowardice that brought shame to the name of Shanniat.

She seemed to hear all kinds of rumors from the outside world again, with doubts, ridicule, and curses ringing in her ears. She covered her ears, but could not stop those voices from pouring into her ears like a tide.

"Anna."

A familiar voice penetrated the noisy noise, and as this voice sounded, all other sounds disappeared.

The somewhat confused girl raised her head. Standing in front of her was another girl, the friend whom she had failed to protect.

The other person just stared at her without saying a word.

……

Outskirts of the coral island.

"Lucifer Shaniyat?" Mei fully activated the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder, and lightning flashed on the Key of Heaven. Although she was not present when Lucifer took Seer away, Walter still showed her the image of Lucifer they saw, so she still recognized him.

So, what are my chances of winning against Lucifer now?

Mr. Walter said that both Lucifer and Kevin are very strong. Kiana's attack in Changkong City was not as strong as Kevin's, but that attack was indeed something he could not withstand. Lucifer would only be much stronger than Kiana at that time. He had no chance of winning against Kiana, let alone Lucifer.

So, why draw the sword?

Because she at least had to prove to Lucifer that she was qualified to travel with Kiana, and she had to prove that she could do it.

The battle in Changkong City made Mei realize once again the growing distance between herself and Kiana. It was not only the gap in strength, but also the gap in vision. Kiana knew much more than she did. In the case of information asymmetry between the two sides, she would never be able to catch up with Kiana.

She couldn't even understand.

Therefore, after she learned about the collapse of Coral Island, she rushed to Coral Island as fast as she could, because she knew Kiana would definitely come. If she couldn't catch up with her, she would try her best to understand her and understand everything she was carrying.

This is what Mei is thinking. She is ready to fight with Kiana again. She must let Kiana see her determination. If Kiana insists on hiding it from her, then she will use her perseverance to let her see her choice.

"You are really stubborn, Raiden Mei." Lucifer said with his arms folded across his chest.

"I just want to be qualified to find the truth," Mei whispered. "I want to see the world she sees and understand everything she carries."

"So you just abandoned your companions in Saint Freya so easily and came here alone?" Lucifer said, "If Kiana still chooses to refuse this time, will you do it again?"

Mei was silent, and her silence was her answer.

She remembered the complicated look Theresa gave her before she left. Clearly, the school principal Judas had already taken it out at that time. If the school principal was willing, and Wendy and Mr. Walter were also there, it would be very easy for them to suppress her. But in the end, Theresa chose to respect her own choice.

"You are stubborn..."

Lucifer did not comment on Mei's performance. His gaze under his sunglasses passed Mei and fell behind a shelter not far away.

Was it intentional or accidental? He didn't even hide well after following along, and Judas revealed his cover. Theresa, could it be that... reincarnation will lower one's IQ?

Never mind, Mei would have entered paradise anyway.
