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

"In this case, I will give you a chance, but before that..."

In the blink of an eye, Lucifer disappeared from Mei's sight. Mei looked around and finally saw Lucifer next to a bunker. He seemed to be talking to someone... Eh? The principal?

Chapter 114 Frost Coffin

"Feng, if the fate of the current civilization has changed beyond all recognition, how do you plan to defeat the collapse in this civilization?"

"It's completely different... Aponia, didn't fate start to change when I came to the previous civilization? Yes, if we just follow the original route, this should be the safest option, because in my memory, the current civilization will definitely defeat the collapse in the end..."

He looked at the nun behind him: "But, rather than entrusting my fate to the one in my memory, I would rather hold hope in my own hands."

The nun lowered her eyes: "But, Feng, aren't you afraid of failing again?"

"Failure? No, we will definitely not lose this time." He looked at the nun and gave an affirmative answer, "Aponya, answer me again, what was the fate of Kevin, Su and Hua that you first saw?"

The nun sighed softly and said, "I saw... the red kite was reborn from the ashes, soaring in a brand new world. The green leaves on the Bodhi tree finally fell from the branches and gradually drifted away on the lake. And the hero who saved the world, he sat alone on his throne and welcomed his last dream."

"So, Aponya, if we just submit to fate, will Kevin and Sue still stand in front of us like they do now?" he said. "After hearing your answer, I think I probably know the final outcome..."

The nun was silent.

"You also know, or rather, everyone who is a pioneer actually knows. So everyone has actually made their own choices for the final decisive battle and is preparing their own plans. And Kevin's plan... is the most helpless, worst plan, right?"

Didn't he know Kevin yet? When he heard Kevin was going to execute the Stigmata Plan, he already knew Kevin's final plan.

The Stigmata Project will be used to connect everyone's dreams and transfer human consciousness to the inner side of the world, while Kevin will remain on the outer side of the world, carrying the power of the end alone, enduring the torture of the power of the end constantly destroying his body and constantly regenerating it, over and over again, forever.

This is what Kevin would do, the so-called "Spiritual Adam" plan in the Stigmata Project.

The nun remained silent.

"Don't hide it, Aponya, you actually agree with Kevin, right?" He continued, "If I'm not mistaken, if the time really comes..."

"Feng, let's stop here." The nun finally spoke, "I believe you know this, and I know that many people, including you, will oppose this plan, but... as you said at the beginning, each of us has our own ideas, and the ultimate goal of each of us is only one, that is to defeat the Honkai and keep civilization alive."

The nun extended her hand to him and gently stroked his face. "After fifty thousand years, we finally meet again in this era. However, the you I touched is only a carrier of your consciousness projection... We can no longer afford the cost of failure, Feng."

She took her hand back and said, "That's the ending I've seen. Kevin may fail, but his failure will bring the dawn of a new world. If he succeeds, civilization will continue to exist, and your existence will not disappear... Everyone will exist in their own dream place and live their ideal life. If civilization will eventually die in the face of the storms of growth, then we will completely fix it in childhood."

"There's someone else supporting Kevin besides you, right?"

"Feng, now is not the time to reveal the answer to this question. If our final plan is the worst plan, then Feng, is the plan you prepared really the 'best plan' for everyone?"

"..."

"Of course, before that, we are all the same. We will try our best to give the best support to children like Kiana. If it is not a last resort, neither you nor we will prepare another backup plan, right?"

……

Outskirts of the coral island.

Feng crossed his arms across his chest and looked in the direction of the Herrscher of Ice against the cold wind. According to the Shaniyat family's investigation of Night Owl, Anna did nothing wrong to Night Owl during the Manila Collapse that year. His sister is still alive today, so Night Owl has actually lost the reason to become the Herrscher of Rock according to his original destiny.

Although I didn’t remember it clearly, I still went to the paradise and asked myself in the paradise.

Night Owl regarded Anna as the pillar of his life, but when he saw that Anna did not save his sister, he finally collapsed and accepted the power of Honkai and became the Herrscher of Stone. He still wanted to protect Anna, but he could no longer regard Anna as his pillar, so he gave up his own life and gave the Herrscher Core to Anna, who had become the Herrscher of Ice and lost all her humanity.

The detailed process doesn’t matter, but the general direction should be like this.

In response to this, Feng’s comment was: What the hell is this?

As for the last move, Feng couldn't understand it. Wasn't that just a self-congratulation of Night Owl after he gave up on himself? When he finally gave the Herrscher core, could that Herrscher still be called Anna? With all her memories gone, her original human personality was almost gone, and only the Herrscher of Ice remained, not Anna Shaniate.

As for Anna's final fate...it depends on her and Kiana's choice.

He stood there for a while before turning his head slightly to look at Mei who was standing behind him: "Have you finished talking to your principal?"

He had chatted with Theresa for a while before. Theresa first asked him whether Kiana was eating well and studying hard. He said that Theresa didn't need to worry about it, and he would definitely give Kiana the best.

Theresa's eyes twitched, but he could easily read her meaning from her eyes. After all, he was the ancestor of Shanyiat, and Shanyiat was the head of the three major families of Destiny. Naturally, he could give much more than Saint Freya.

In the end, Theresa didn't say anything, but just sighed and asked him to take care of Mei, at least not to let her catch Kiana's Skyfire in the face like Changkongshi did.

"What makes you think I will agree to your request?"

Facing his question, Theresa's expression changed for a long time before she said hesitantly, "I also want to know why your attitude towards me is so different from your attitude towards others... and..."

"And what?"

"…Forget it. Anyway, that's it. I can't stop Mei. Or rather, it's useless to stop her. Mei is too deeply trapped in her own obsession. The person who tied the bell must untie it. This is all I can do for her…"

"..."

"I...I should respect you, the ancestor of Shaniyat...but I feel very close to you. No matter what, I can't have any hostility towards you...Am I just like my appearance, as naive and ridiculous as a child?"

“…Oh, a little bit indeed.”

"You... you're right... that's it, Mei... I'll leave it to you."

After that, he asked Mei to go alone and say goodbye to Theresa. Although her idea was a bit naive, Theresa did try her best to take care of those children. According to Su, Theresa basically had no rest after the War of Destiny. All in all, Saint Freya can at least still attend classes as usual, and the Far East Branch is still operating normally.

No matter what, Mei should say goodbye to Theresa properly.

Since Theresa said so, after all, I didn't have time to save her at that time. It's just a request that can be easily fulfilled, so there's nothing wrong in agreeing to it. I can just tell myself in Paradise and ask him to keep an eye on Mei.

At the same time, if Mei can really pass the test of the paradise, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

What can I do now while I can still do it...

Feng knew very well that the pace of collapse would only get faster and faster, and the Day of Judgment was approaching. Before that, perhaps the former heroes would start a second civil war.

After all, I am just a projection now, and Kevin and the others might really be able to trap me. Besides... Xier's attitude towards the details of the Stigmata Plan is a bit ambiguous.

She might be a key figure in the plan, but he couldn't be sure what she was thinking.

"What...should I do now?" Mei asked.

"Since you want to have the same vision as Kiana, I can certainly give you this opportunity for the sake of your school principal. Before that, why not watch Kiana's battle first."

Mei looked at Feng, but Feng just looked at the place where the Ice Herrscher appeared. She suddenly felt a little curious, "For the sake of the school principal"? Is the school principal familiar with Lucifer? Is there any connection between them?

Kiana here.

The ice in front of her shattered, and a Herrscher wearing a dark blue veil and a pitch-black veil emerged from the icicle. Her upper body was dark blue, her forearms gradually turned dark blue, and her hands were pierced by ice cones. The original Valkyrie armor turned into a large cloak with dark blue gradually turning white, with two ice chains hanging on it, and an ice candle floating on each side of her body.

"Anna..." Leonie could hardly recognize the similarities between the Herrscher in front of her and the Shanyiat girl in her impression. Wasn't this transformation into a Herrscher a bit too big?

Suddenly, a powerful cold wave started from Anna and broke out towards everyone.

"Not good!" Kiana's pupils shrank, and without much hesitation, flames ignited on the greatsword in her hand, the Skyfire Judgement. She inserted the Skyfire Judgement into the ground, and the burst of high temperature formed a wall to block the impact of the cold wave for the people behind her.

Without waiting for others to react, as the cold wave blew, the Herrscher raised her hand that was pierced by the icicle, and the ice formed dense and sharp ice arrows that shot towards everyone.

Kiana drew out the Skyfire and swept it in the direction of the Herrscher. The flames melted all the ice arrows, but the wind and snow continued to quickly lower the temperature of the surrounding environment. Even though Kiana had the Skyfire in her hand to maintain a relatively high temperature for everyone, she began to feel powerless.

There was no problem with her protecting herself, but the problem was that among the people present, Leonie was the only relatively ordinary person.

While the ice arrows were being fired, ice spikes continued to emerge from the ground. The ice arrows were blocked by Kiana, while the ice spikes were shattered by Yulandel using the power of the black abyss and white flowers to stimulate the creation of all things and forcibly use vegetation to break the ice spikes.

"Leonie, you retreat first!" Kiana blocked the ice arrows while observing the actions of the Herrscher.

"Anna!" Leonie called out, "Anna can you hear me?!"

The Herrscher seemed to have heard it, and the blizzard around them weakened at this moment, but just when Leonie thought it was useful, the Herrscher suddenly intensified the blizzard, and the attack became more fierce.

After observing the situation, Kiana shouted back, "Evacuate here first!"

"But Anna..."

"Let's go first!" Kiana didn't have time to explain the current situation. She pulled Leonie up with one hand and threw her into the Sub-Sky Gate she created. Raven glanced at Night Owl, and only chose to evacuate after Night Owl also evacuated.

Afterwards, Kiana and Yulandel also evacuated the battlefield.

After passing through the Sub-Sky Gate, everyone realized that Kiana had not teleported them too far, and this place was not far from where the Herrscher was.

"Kiana, did you find anything?" Yulandel asked.

"There is good news, but also bad news. Which one should I hear first?" Kiana said, staring in the direction of the Herrscher.

Everyone looked at each other, and Yulandel said, "Don't keep us in suspense. Just tell us your conclusion, Kiana."

"Well, the good news is that Anna does still have some humanity left, and she's still fighting against Honkai," Kiana said.

"If you're still fighting the Honkai, then what about the attack just now?" Raven asked.

Kiana sighed and said, "That's because her own personality and Houkai are fighting each other. At present, neither side has the advantage, so she is now in an unconscious state and will attack any living thing that approaches her indiscriminately according to the most primitive instinct. Now that we are far away from her, she has stopped moving... Maybe she will seal herself in the ice pillar later."

Just like the coffin she prepared for herself.

"That is to say, she still has a chance..."

Before Night Owl finished speaking, Kiana said, "This is the bad news I have to tell you. Her memory is fading and she will be devoured by her Herrscher personality sooner or later. Since we can't get close to her, we can only watch the situation deteriorate."

"..."

"In general, the safest plan is for me to use Skyfire from a distance and kill with one strike."

"But Anna, she's still fighting, isn't she?"

"But as you can see, it's hard for us to even get close to her."

Chapter 115 A Ray of Hope

"Really... is there no other way?" Leonie said in a somewhat painful tone, "Since it is possible to give birth to a Herrscher who fights for humanity, why... can't Anna? Obviously, as the pride of Shaniyat and the will of the Valkyrie of Destiny, she will not lose to anyone..."

Honkai... Is this the way to make a warrior who fights against Honkai end in the way she hates the most?

In fact, this is much better than the previous civilization.

Kiana said in her heart.

Perhaps because of the Shaniyat bloodline in her body, or perhaps because of the authority of Alicia, Anna's consciousness was not quickly submerged in the face of the invasion of the collapse, and in the previous civilization...

"At least, she is still fighting against the Honkai as a human being. She has used all her will to prove that she is worthy of the name of Shaniyat." Kiana said in a deep voice, "The birth of the fifth Herrscher, Ice Herrscher, was a natural birth of a Herrscher. The Berlin Honkai when the first Herrscher was born killed 300,000 people, and the second Honkai when the second Herrscher was born affected the entire Siberia... In general, the Coral Island Honkai was the Honkai with the least casualties. There are still many survivors on the Coral Island, and all members of the Snow Lotus team were evacuated safely. This is the best proof of Anna's fight against the Honkai."

"Everyone evacuate safely... Doesn't this "everyone" include Anna herself?" Leonie asked subconsciously. She immediately realized who Kiana was standing in front of her, and also realized the abruptness and presumptuousness of her words.

"I'm sorry... I just... I can't accept that this would be the outcome for Anna..." Leonie lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on the Holy Fire Judge in Kiana's hand.

Siegfried's daughter... is very different from her reckless father after all. She once returned the Judgment of Heavenly Fire on behalf of the Shaniyat family, and obtained the qualification to hold the Judgment of Heavenly Fire in a legitimate way. She is not reckless, but has been calmly analyzing the situation and proposing the most reasonable countermeasures.

She had no way to refute it, because she knew very well that the plan proposed by Kiana was the best one. If it were her in the past, she would have chosen to agree with Kiana without hesitation, but when the real reality came to her, she found that she might not be as rational as she thought.

The momentary sentimentality that she once despised the most eventually became what she is today.

"There is another plan. We can consume the Herrscher's Honkai energy first, and then Raven and I will find an opportunity to use the Staff of the Underworld to temporarily restrict the Herrscher's actions and authority." Night Owl suddenly said, "According to the original agreement, the ownership of the captured Herrscher will belong to the World Serpent..."

"What do you want to do to Anna?!" Leonie glared at Night Owl, "She is from the Shanyat family, a Valkyrie of destiny! It's unfortunate enough that she was chosen by Honkai to become a Herrscher, and you still want to harm her and tarnish her pride as a human being, right?!"

Night Owl just glanced at Leonie and ignored her. Instead, he looked at Kiana, the actual executor of this crusade, and said, "World Serpent has more detailed research data on Herrscher than Destiny. Maybe they can find a way. What's more, as long as we have experience once, we may be able to save the situation the next time we encounter the same situation."

This was the most suitable solution that Night Owl could think of. He was completely confident in Kiana's strength. She was taught by Lucifer Shaniyat himself. Whether it was the previous battle in Changkong City or her performance in the brief contact battle with the Herrscher of Ice just now, Night Owl could be sure that Kiana's strength was fully capable of suppressing the Herrscher of Ice.

In the previous battle, she did not even intend to actively attack the Ice Herrscher. Her main goal was to protect her teammates and test the Ice Herrscher's situation.

The most direct manifestation of Kiana's strength is the plan she just proposed. She is absolutely confident that she can use Skyfire to kill with one blow. When she talked about the plan, Kiana didn't even hesitate at all, and her tone was calm, as if she was just talking about a trivial matter.

Ye Xiao had no doubt that if Kiana was fighting against the Ice Herrscher alone and there was no one else around, Kiana would release Skyfire without hesitation to end the battle quickly.

As for the second half of Night Owl's sentence, actually Night Owl didn't want to say it. His idea of ​​not wanting Anna to be a test subject was no less than Leonie's, but this was the reason he had to bring up in order to convince Kiana.

He didn't believe that Anna would be hopeless. As long as Anna's consciousness was still there, as long as there was a glimmer of possibility, he didn't want to let it go. However, this emotional reason had no reference value in front of the girl in front of him who would obviously become the leader of the Shanniat family in the future. Most of what she was thinking about was how to minimize casualties and achieve the greatest survival with the least sacrifice.

This is also the thought that all Shaniyat would have, including... Anna who has now become the Herrscher of Ice.

But Ye Xiao didn't care about all this. Even though he knew that Anna would most likely agree with Kiana's plan, he didn't care. He would never allow Anna's life to end here in this way.

Kiana was worried that if the battle could not be resolved quickly, the further development of the Ice Herrscher would likely threaten other survivors on the coral island. Night Owl did not have such concerns. In his eyes, the value of everyone on the entire coral island was not as great as Anna's.

Therefore, he needs to come up with a reasonable reason to use the future interests of all mankind to overwhelm Kiana's concerns about the survivors on the coral island. He believes that Kiana can do it, but her continued battle with Anna will inevitably cause further damage to the coral island and further increase the number of casualties, so Kiana will give priority to using Skyfire to win.

As for whether there will be another person who will be forcibly chosen to become a Herrscher in the future, who knows? Anyway, it is enough to raise such a possibility.

Kiana looked at Night Owl. What Night Owl said made sense, but she had to correct one point in Night Owl's plan: "If the premise of the action is to consume the power of the Ice Herrscher, the speed at which Anna's human memory is lost will also be accelerated during the battle between me and the Ice Herrscher. In other words, in this battle aimed at consumption, before the power of the Ice Herrscher weakens, Anna's consciousness is likely to have dissipated before then."

"But we only need to capture the Herrscher... not Anna Shaniat." When Night Owl said this, his heart felt like it was being tortured. He could not show any intention of saving Anna, and could only use the most reasonable reason to preserve Anna's life. "The research value of a living Herrscher is far higher than its Herrscher Core, isn't it?"

Anyway, he didn't think that as Kiana became more and more popular, there would be nothing left of the Ice Herrscher except the Herrscher Core.

"What the hell are you talking about, you bastard!" Leonie grabbed Night Owl's collar with both hands and lifted him up. "Anna is the Valkyrie of Shanyat. She has rescued other survivors in the collapse so many times and brought hope to others so many times... and you want her to have no peace?! The Shanyat family and the Kaslana family will never let you go!"

"The person in charge of the Shanyat family is right in front of you. As long as she doesn't object, there will be no problem." Night Owl said coldly, "As for the Kaslana family, I don't think the current Kaslana family has the qualifications."

Leonie's grip tightened.
