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

Anna let go of her hand, looked at her old friend who was almost invisible, and nodded gently. The other party just waved his hand, indicating that she really should stop wasting time.

Anna did not hesitate any longer and immediately joined the battle between Kiana and the Herrscher of Ice.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Kiana glanced at Anna: "Are you guys catching up so quickly?"

"If we keep reminiscing about the past she's going to pinch my face into the shape of a puppy." Anna smiled helplessly.

Kiana remembered when she had just entered Anna's consciousness space, she almost got lost in the memory corridor made of ice and couldn't find the location of Anna's original consciousness. As a result, a voice guided her through the memory corridor.

She didn't know whether it was the soul of Anna's old friend, or Anna's own unwillingness to admit defeat that appeared in the form of her most guilty old friend, but... that was indeed the last straw that could save Anna, and Kiana was willing to believe that it was the soul of Anna's old friend.

Honkai wanted to break Anna's heart by appearing as Anna's most guilty old friend, but Honkai never expected that the old friend had never blamed Anna, and after entering Anna's consciousness space, he asked him to help her "speak".

With the addition of Anna, the suppression of Kiana by the consciousness space no longer has any effect. Kiana, who had not been able to exert her full strength before, can finally fight a good battle.

In front of Kiana who was firing at full power, the Herrscher of Ice had no power to fight back at all. As the calamity fire that was like a punishment from heaven fell, the Herrscher's figure also disappeared in the flames.

real world.

Kiana opened her eyes: "It's over."

Youlandel: "?"

the other side.

The huge ice shattered, and the girl fell into silence as she looked at her hands pierced by the icicles. The temperature around her also began to gradually rise as the ice shattered.

"Anna!" Leonie quickly came to where Anna was. She wanted to hug Anna as soon as possible, but her reason advised her not to be impulsive.

"Leonie...you're really back..." Anna said, her eyes fell on Night Owl on the side again, "Who is this gentleman?"

Night Owl: "..."

Never mind, it’s not surprising.

Chapter 119: Melting Ice and Undercurrent

Raven put away the Seven Thunders of Purification, looked up at the dark clouds that had dissipated with the disappearance of the Ice Ruler that threatened humanity, then looked at the traps and the Yellow Springs Staff that he had set up, and let out a long breath.

Although the trap and the Staff of Hades were set in vain, at least she didn't have to worry about the relationship with the Shanyiat family in the future. There was only one thing that made her feel a little strange. Anna was about to be successfully eroded by the Honkai, but the situation was reversed in the past half hour.

Apart from anything else, Raven had been keeping an eye on the ice pillar where Anna was. The Herrscher's energy level was constantly rising, and the surrounding temperature was dropping again and again. As a result, all the changes came so suddenly, as if someone had directly wiped out the consciousness of the Ice Herrscher that was fighting with Anna's consciousness...

Raven shifted his gaze to Kiana and Yulandel who were walking over. His intuition as a mercenary told Raven that the reason Anna was able to regain consciousness from Honkai this time was probably because of the half an hour Kiana was willing to give.

Night Owl had a lot of big talk, and it seemed that he thought the second lady of Shaniyat was the kind of person who would sacrifice a small number of people for the benefit of all. But Raven knew very well that when choosing between the interests of the majority and the lives of a small number of people, Kiana would actually choose to sacrifice herself first.

In the half hour decided, Kiana should not have done nothing. One of the more obvious evidences is that Yulandel did not follow Night Owl and Leonie during this half hour. Logically speaking, since the Shanyiat collectively did not trust Night Owl, they should have paid more attention to keeping an eye on Night Owl, but in the end Yulandel stayed by Kiana's side, monitoring Night Owl's actions from a distance.

But...just think about these things in your mind.

Anyway, the Jackal was the one who had the greatest expectations and was also the most disappointed in this operation. He had originally expected to capture a Herrscher for research, but the Herrscher that was born was from the Shaniyat family, whom he couldn't afford to offend. Taking a step back, he wanted to collect data on battles between Herrschers, but sorry, Kiana only had a brief, tentative battle with Anna.

The only thing that could give the Jackal a little comfort was probably the favor she thought she had done to Shaniyat and Kiana.

However, it is not so easy to owe Shaniyat a favor. The reasons the Jackal used to convince himself are reasonable, but whether Shaniyat will accept them is another matter.

Besides, how did the Jackal come to cooperate with the second lady of Shaniat? Obviously, there was no need for cooperation. Kiana would come directly to Coral Island to attack the Herrscher. The Jackal had no conditions to cooperate with Kiana at all?

Perhaps, I could ask Kiana later if the Second Miss is willing to chat a little more with her former rival.

Anna's side.

Leonie glanced at Night Owl and introduced him succinctly: "He was one of the survivors you rescued from the Manila Collapse."

"Are you a survivor of the Manila Collapse?" Anna looked at Night Owl and thought for a long time. Finally, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot too many things, but... I am also very grateful that you are here and can help."

Although he is not very clear about the situation, after he becomes a Herrscher, those who can arrive here are definitely not simple people. Maybe they come to save him, or maybe they come to punish him, but the ultimate goal should be to prevent the further spread of Honkai.

When the Second Herrscher caused a global collapse, anyone who had the courage to go deep into the center of the collapse and confront the Herrscher directly was worthy of praise for his courage.

"It seems that you are doing okay now." Kiana came over and said, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"Well... not yet, except for my hands..." Anna looked at her hands pierced by icicles helplessly. She should still be in the form of a Herrscher now, and she didn't even know how to change back to her original appearance. And although her hands were pierced by icicles, she couldn't just live like this from now on, right?

"Well...it seems like we can only wait for the more detailed inspection arranged by Destiny later." Kiana originally wanted to go to the World Serpent to let the Jackal check it out, but in the end she didn't say so.

After all, the Jackal's request was to at least get the Herrscher's core for her to study, and it would be best if the Herrscher could be captured rather than conquered.

Originally, Kiana would not go to find the Jackal. She and the Jackal did not get along well. Even if she did not cooperate with the Jackal in this operation, she would come to fight the Herrscher with Yulandel. She agreed to the Jackal's request mainly because of the capture of Benares by Raven and Night Owl with the help of Destiny not long ago...

That was originally a deal between Otto and the Jackal. According to the agreement between Otto and the Jackal, after being captured, Benares was just a test subject for the Jackal to conduct various experiments. But I don't know if it was because there was some kind of connection between the companion Honkai beast and its master, the Herrscher of the Void who was still imprisoned in Paradise felt Benares' distress signal.

After learning about Benares' situation from me, the Herrscher of the Void, who had always been unwilling to give in, chose to bow to me. She was willing to hand over all the authority of the Void to me as long as I could rescue Benares from the jackals.

That's right, although she can indeed beat the Herrscher of the Void now, he has been given the Power of the Void since birth, and she is unwilling to let go of it. She does not have the ability to control the Herrscher of the Void as easily as Feng does, which leads to some restrictions when she uses the Power of the Void.

To put it bluntly, most of the power of the void is in his hands, but the Herrscher of the Void is holding on to the small part and he cannot get it away.

Considering that Benares has been wandering in the atmosphere since the Second Herrscher was defeated and will not actively attack humans, and that the Second Herrscher is no longer a threat, Kiana agreed to the Herrscher of the Sky's conditions.

That's why she went to the Jackal and proposed to transfer the management rights of Benares to her. The Jackal was reluctant at first, but sometimes fists are more useful than mouths. After weighing whether the Holy Judge of Skyfire on his waist would burn her laboratory in one go, the Jackal decisively chose to do what he was willing to do and make a deal with her.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter if the Jackal is talking about the Herrscher Core. If the Herrscher Core in Anna's body can be taken out later... I'll give it to the Jackal after asking Anna's opinion." Kiana thought to herself.

If Anna wanted to keep the Herrscher core and fight as a Herrscher like Angelica, then she would have to wait for the next Herrscher who was hostile to humans to appear and then pack up that Herrscher and send her to the jackal.

As for whether the Jackal would always use this favor to ask me for trouble in the future... well, she probably didn't have the courage. I only asked her to make a deal once, so she could only make this one request. I wouldn't bother to respond if she asked more than that.

"Oh, right." Anna suddenly looked at Kiana and said, "That...thank you for helping me when I was in my consciousness space. If you need anything in the future, I will definitely agree as long as I can do it...well, even if I can't do it, I can still try."

"Eh?"

Leonie looked at Kiana with some surprise. When Night Owl heard this, there was only a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he suppressed his emotions very well and instead showed a thoughtful expression.

"Nothing, I just provide a little help. What can really determine the final result is your own heart. It is you who overcomes your inner fear and guilt." Kiana smiled and said, "If you have not gotten rid of the erosion of Honkai in your heart, I will not be able to save you."

“No, no, no. If I didn’t have your help, I would definitely not be able to defeat Honkai by myself. In the end… I would definitely be devoured by Honkai and completely become a Herrscher.” Anna said hurriedly, “It was you who helped Sally wake me up, so I was able to take that step.”

Just as Kiana was about to say something, a call came in from Yulandel. It was Maria: "Bianca, what's the situation over there? Has the Herrscher... been defeated?"

Yulandel and Kiana looked at each other. Kiana raised her eyebrows at her. Yulandel understood and said in a serious tone: "The Herrscher has been confirmed to have been conquered..."

After a pause, he continued, "Anna Shaniat also managed to survive."

There was silence on the other end of the communicator for a long time before Maria spoke again: "Okay, Bianca, when did you learn to tease your aunt like this? Where is my honest niece?"

She was ready to mourn the loss of another outstanding Valkyrie in the Shanyiat family, but Yulandel's heavy breathing almost made her unable to react.

Rita, who was standing next to Maria, looked up at the sky. It seemed that Senior Maria and Lady Yulandel had spent too little time together, or perhaps Lady Yulandel and Senior Maria had always been a little unfamiliar with each other. But in fact, as Lady Yulandel's guardian over the years, she felt that it was normal for Lady Yulandel to say these words.

Although he could control Lady Yulandel from time to time, Lady Yulandel could also fight back occasionally.

Lady Yulandel...is not always so honest, she can be a little sinister sometimes.

As long as the Herrscher is defeated, the next things will be much simpler. The temperature of the Coral Island will not continue to drop, and the Valkyries who go to the urban area of ​​the Coral Island to rescue the survivors will not have to worry about whether the subsequent explosion of the Herrscher will directly destroy the survivors along with them. The only thing to do, besides rescuing the survivors, is to clear out all the Honkai beasts on the Coral Island.

Outskirts of the coral island.

"Look, I told Kiana that she can handle this Herrscher incident by herself. When Kiana comes out later, you can go back to World Snake with us." Feng said while looking at Mei beside him. Just now, Mei had been wanting to enter the area where the Herrscher was and fight together with Kiana.

Mei silently looked at the direction where the Herrscher was being attacked, and secretly strengthened her determination to do her best to catch up with Kiana.

She glanced at Feng again and found that he still had a blank expression on his face. He didn't seem happy at all for Kiana's victory this time, but thought that Kiana was capable of doing this.

Is Lucifer's request to Kiana a bit too high?

Sure enough, compared to the various trainings Kiana is going through now and the high demands from her ancestors, no matter how hard she tried before, it was no different from just eating and waiting to die.

If Feng knew what Mei was thinking at the moment, he would only tell her not to think too much because he was not a devil.

It is certainly a good thing that Kiana was able to successfully resolve the Herrscher of Ice incident, but the problem that followed was... the Herrscher of Rock who was supposed to be born did not.

The original Herrscher of Rock should be Night Owl... No, Night Owl feels like he was created to speed up the birth of Herrscher and promote the coming of the End. After all, as a Herrscher's body, Night Owl doesn't even have the requirements to become a Herrscher's body. It's as if the purpose of Honkai making him the Herrscher of Rock is only to have his heart ripped out by the Herrscher of Ice and then fuse with the Herrscher's core to become the Herrscher of Meteoric Ice.

Now that the Herrscher of Rock has not been born, according to the order of the Herrschers who have not appeared, the next one to appear should be the Herrscher of Consciousness. Now nothing unexpected has happened to Hua, so could it be that the Herrscher of Consciousness has also changed his carrier along with the Herrscher of Rock?

Although it doesn't matter to Feng who is replaced by the Law of Consciousness or the Law of Rock, the only thing he is worried about is whether the change of the Herrscher's carrier will make Kiana's next battle more difficult.

Kaslana's stigmata space.

"Well……"

Fu Hua, dressed in red feathers, half-knelt on the ground. After removing the flames on her body and ending her collapse, she raised her head reluctantly and looked at Kevin, who was holding [Past] in one hand in front of her.

In Kaslana's Stigmata space, even if he possessed the power of Yu Duchen, it would be difficult to evacuate from the Stigmata space under Kevin's blockade. And if he fought Kevin head-on... the result would be like this. Even if he released the power of artificial collapse and added Yu Duchen, it would be difficult to match Kevin who had the [Past].

"The battle is over, Hua." Kevin's tone was calm. "In order to prevent you from using Yu Duchen's power to spy on those plans, I can only resort to this last resort."

“Huh…” Fu Hua stood up reluctantly. She looked at Kevin, “The Past originally came from Feng. Kevin, you used the power of the Past in your battle with me, and Feng would have noticed it.”

"Indeed, if it was just me, I would not be able to hide it from Feng's eyes." Kevin lowered his eyes, "Only if she took action could she block Feng's eyes and ears for a short period of time."

"She? Could it be..." Fu Hua's pupils shrank, and a person's face flashed through her mind quickly, but how could she...

"I've finished my work here. The rest of the matter is up to you." Kevin seemed to be talking to another person.

Fu Hua lowered her head, and another holy mark that was not from Kaslana's family appeared under her feet. The light enveloped her, and in an instant, Fu Hua disappeared from Kaslana's holy mark space.

After dealing with Fu Hua's matter, Kevin turned his attention to Siegfried.

He raised his hand and wanted to expel Siegfried from the stigmata space, but suddenly frowned. He found that Siegfried was embedded in the stigmata space like a nail because of his deep obsession. If he forcibly expelled Siegfried, the noise would definitely attract Su's attention and then attract Feng.

After thinking about it, Kevin decided to leave Siegfried aside. Since he was unwilling to leave Kaslana's stigmata space, he would stay and serve as a wedge to fix the stigmata space. Anyway, with the stigmata will watching over him, he couldn't cause any trouble.

"Feng, maybe our plans aren't the best plans, but... just this time, I won't let you go ahead of us and be forgotten by the world."

Chapter 120 Mystery

St. Freya Academy.

Theresa looked at Walter with a headache and said, "So... during the time I followed Mei to Coral Island and back, Siegfried disappeared, and the Herrscher of Coral Island was also conquered, and Anti-Entropy hasn't even figured out why and when Siegfried disappeared?"

"Regarding this point... it is indeed our fault on Anti-Entropy's part..." Walter pressed his forehead with a headache, "We don't know how a seriously injured Siegfried could have disappeared in Anti-Entropy's heavily guarded base. At first we speculated that it might have been Lucifer's doing. After all, it is not impossible for him to do so."

Theresa frowned and said, "When Siegfried disappeared, he was still talking to me on Coral Island. It's impossible that he took Siegfried away and then immediately teleported to Coral Island to wait for Mei and me, right? Moreover, he had no reason to take Siegfried away, and even less reason to take him away in this way. If he wanted to take Siegfried away, would he have to avoid your surveillance?"

If Lucifer wants to take Siegfried away, then he can just go and get him. Anti-Entropy can't stop him and can only watch. There is no need to make it so mysterious. Theresa doesn't think Siegfried is qualified to make Lucifer go to so much trouble.

"You're right, Principal Theresa, so we quickly rejected this idea." Walter pushed his glasses and said, "In addition to the reasons you listed, Lucifer had previously issued a ban on other Shaniyatt family members. Unless Siegfried himself appeared in front of the Shaniyatt family, Shaniyatt would no longer hunt Siegfried. He had no reason to overturn his own ban."

"Rather, although our first suspect was Lucifer, based on the information we have so far, he is the first person to be ruled out and has no motive for doing so." Einstein said on the other side of the screen, "But... in this way, we have only ruled out one candidate, and we still have no clue as to how Mr. Siegfried disappeared."

"Didn't the surveillance cameras and the staff in the base find anything unusual?" Theresa asked in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Theresa." Einstein sighed, "We didn't find anything unusual on the surveillance. As for the testimony of the staff, we are still collecting evidence. So far, we haven't found anything unusual."

Theresa held her forehead helplessly, and was silent for a long time before she said: "Mr. Walter, if I remember correctly, when you confronted Kevin in the Quantum Sea, you saw some of Kevin's memories, right?"

"Well, do you suspect that Siegfried's disappearance is related to those forerunners in the dark?"

"That's right. Apart from the forerunners from the last era, I can't think of anyone who can do such a thing." Theresa said, "Lucifer does have no motive, but what about the other forerunners? For example, the World Serpent Lord behind the Jackal who almost caused the Great Collapse in Sky City. The Jackal's research direction is the stigmata, and the Kaslana stigmata held by Siegfried should be a good experimental subject for the Jackal, right?"

"Indeed, the Jackal has the motive to do this, but..." Walter said after a pause, "According to the information we collected from all parties in Sky City and the final results, the Jackal has the motive to do this but does not have enough strength. She wants to attack the base of Anti-Entropy. Even if she succeeds in the end, it is unlikely that she can bypass all surveillance and not cause any casualties or witnesses to Anti-Entropy. In addition, according to the results sent back by our undercover in Destiny not long ago, the two strongest fighters that the Jackal can command, Raven and Night Owl, both appeared on Coral Island."

"It seems that your undercover agent is on the Coral Island site." Theresa looked at Walter with empty eyes and said, "Let me guess, this time your anti-entropy undercover agent is in the Snow Lotus Squad commanded by Anna Shaniyat, right? Just like Patrick in the Snow Wolf Squad commanded by Cecilia before was also your undercover agent."

"Ahem... Principal Theresa, some things are better not said so directly." Walter said somewhat awkwardly. He didn't expect Theresa to actually guess it right away. Or was it that Theresa was still thinking about Patrick's identity being exposed during the Second Great Collapse, so she guessed it directly?

"Patrick... Putting aside the fact that she is your undercover agent for Anti-Entropy, as a Valkyrie, she did perform her duties very well and fought for humanity until the last moment." Theresa sighed softly, "As for Siegfried's matter... no matter how hard I think about it, I still have no clue. According to what Seer said before she was taken away by Lucifer, there are a total of fourteen Lords of the World Serpent, including Lucifer. The Lords we know are: Lucifer and Alicia, the ancestors of the Shaniyat family, Kevin, the ancestor of the Kaslana family, the Awakened One, the ancestor of the Apokalis family, and Kosmo who helped you in the Quantum Sea, and the Lord behind the Jackal. The person suspected of being the Lord of the World Serpent is Ying, the executor of your Anti-Entropy, and the Red Kite Immortal of Shenzhou. There are only eight in total, and there are still six unknown to us."

"You're right, Principal Theresa, I think so too, but we still know too little information. Even if we find out something later, we may not be able to do anything about it." Walter said helplessly.

Theresa lowered her eyes. She had just wanted to say that there was a nun deep in the destiny. After all, Xier also said that there was a pioneer in the destiny who was not the ancestor of the three major families, and she had also seen this nun.

But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

This... is probably the special ability possessed by that pioneer.

She still remembered that at the end of the meeting with the nun, she said to herself: "Our conversation today is enough to be just a memory in our hearts. Please don't mention my existence and today's conversation to outsiders."

Then, he really couldn't say a word about what happened that day. As soon as he had this thought, his mouth seemed to be out of his control. As a pioneer, the power of that nun was indeed terrifying.

However, if her ability was just a kind of word spirit, then Siegfried's disappearance this time probably had nothing to do with her.

"Okay, let's put Siegfried's matter aside and wait for the results of the investigation. I've also discussed Mei's matter with Lucifer." Delissa decided not to think about Siegfried anymore. It was useless for her to think about it anyway. "Lucifer promised that he would pay attention to Mei's safety inside the World Serpent. And Kiana is also in the World Serpent. With Kiana here, Mei will probably be fine."

"Mei wants to catch up with Kiana too much... Well, I can understand it." Walter said, "After all, for Mei, the current Anti-Entropy and Saint Freya can't solve her problem. Going to the World Serpent may be a good thing for her."

"I hope so..." Theresa shook her head. "Then, Mr. Walter, what is the specific situation on the Coral Island? Is there any more news?"

"After the crusade against Herrscher began, no news came from there." Walter replied, "In addition to the list of the main Valkyries who participated in the crusade, the only thing we can confirm is the identity of the Herrscher of Ice."
