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

Kiana: "?"

Chapter 122 Trapped in the Past

"Let's play a game. Believe me, this will be fun... As long as you beat me in this game, you will have passed this test." Mostima opened his arms with a smile.

"What game?" Kiana looked around again. There were too many types of games in Mostima. Was her test to be defeated by her in one of the games? No, the test of the fallen angel shouldn't be that simple. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few people who could pass the test of the fallen angel for so long...

"A real-life immersive game..." Mastema smiled inexplicably, "How about it, are you interested?"

"A real-life immersive game..." Kiana frowned, somewhat confused, but she came here originally to pass the tests of all the fallen angels and meet the final fallen angel, so even if she had some doubts about this, she could not retreat.

"Then come on."

Destiny Airport.

"So, you have confirmed that you want to remove the Ice Herrscher's Core from your body?" Otto asked Anna in front of him.

"That's right. Although with the help of Kiana, I have gotten rid of the influence of Honkai consciousness, but... I still can't make good use of this power like Kiana." Anna said, "Also, this Herrscher core has fallen silent after the Honkai consciousness disappeared. It is always a hidden danger to keep it in my body, so... I want to apply for surgery to remove the Herrscher core."

"It's just a temporary inability to control it. It can't determine your future. You can choose to get used to it slowly, Anna." Otto's tone was calm. "You don't need to worry too much about whether the Herrscher Core in your body will suddenly go berserk and hurt other members of the Snow Lotus team. Tianming has complete Honkai energy monitoring technology. We can tailor a monitoring device for you to monitor the state of Honkai energy in your body."

Anna opened her mouth, but couldn't find any suitable reason to refute Otto, so she remained silent.

"Okay, you can relax about this matter. In this coral island incident, this artificial tourist island built by humans over decades did not sink like Atlantis, and the number of casualties was reduced to the minimum. Anna Shaniat, you have made an indelible contribution to this." Otto spread his hands and said, "You can be more confident and stand up straight. Do you remember what I said in class?"

"You have the blood of Shaniyat flowing in your body. The descendants of the Dawn do not need to bend or bow to anyone, including me."

Anna was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded silently.

"Okay, I hope you can think about the Herrscher core a little more. After all, Herrschers who fight for humanity do exist. You have already defeated the consciousness of Honkai, so you also have the opportunity to use the power that originally belonged to Honkai to fight Honkai like other Herrschers who fight for humanity." Otto continued, "Similarly, during this period of time, whether you decide to take out the Herrscher core or not, you still need to stay at the Schicksal Headquarters for further observation. The captain position of the Snow Lotus Squad will be temporarily taken over by Leonie Kaslana."

"It's all up to the bishop."

After watching Anna leave his office, Otto's eyes became deep. He put one hand on his chin and his eyes fell on the test report about Anna that Amber sent to him before Anna came over.

Logically speaking, Anna belongs to Shaniyat of the White Flower, and the power of the White Flower mainly comes from the stigmata. Although Otto does not know much about the way Lucifer currently appears in the world, he is very clear about one thing: the basis for Lucifer's appearance is the stigmata of Shaniyat.

The reason why Yulandel miraculously survived the fall from thousands of meters has been confirmed. That was because Lucifer used the power of the stigmata to protect her. And in history, those Shaniats who were blessed with Lucifer's power, undoubtedly obtained their power from Lucifer through the stigmata.

From this point, it can be inferred that Lucifer should have considerable control over the stigmata of the Shaniyat family. However, this time, Honkai was able to force Anna, who was an awakener of the Shaniyat stigmata, to be the Herrscher right under Lucifer's nose. Does that mean that Honkai actually has a way to block Lucifer's ability to perceive the stigmata of Shaniyat members?

Otto's eyes fell on the mission report submitted by Yulandel on the details of the Ice Herrscher crusade and Anna's own supplementary description of the incident, which mentioned that Kiana used Yu Duchen's power to infiltrate Anna's consciousness and assisted Anna in defeating the Honkai consciousness.

"Lucifer is a traitor of Honkai. His power is the same as Honkai's but opposite to it, so... the Herrscher or the Herrscher Core on the Honkai side may be able to block Lucifer's perception of the Stigmata of Shaniyat..." Otto thought.

This is very important to him. If he wants to enter the stigmata space of Shaniyat, the stigmata of Shaniyat is an unavoidable threshold and a necessary path. He can only be considered half a Shaniyat at most, and is not yet a Shaniyat stigmata awakener. Moreover, although Lucifer's impression of him is not bad, it is not good either.

If I go in, I'm afraid I'll be kicked out by Lucifer just like during the Second Collapse.

"But... even if we can bypass Lucifer, Sariel and Mistrine, the two manifestations of the Stigmata of Shaniyat, are still an obstacle. Besides that, I don't know the details of the Stigmata of Shaniyat..."

No matter what, Anna is an important person in achieving his current goal. Before getting the data he wants, he cannot let her leave the Savior Headquarters, nor can he arrange for her to take out the Herrscher Core. He must also conduct the subsequent data collection and experiments himself.

Otto was planning what he was going to do in the next stage. Suddenly, he found a call request from a specially marked person on the video communicator on the table. He reached out and connected the call: "Kallen, are there any difficulties on the Coral Island? Or is there something wrong with your Valkyrie armor?"

Kallen looked at Otto and was silent for a while before saying, "The residents of Coral Island have been evacuated, but the Houkai beasts that appeared due to the birth of the Fifth Herrscher have not been completely defeated, so... I may stay on Coral Island for a while and clean up the remaining Houkai beasts with the Valkyries here."

"Really..." Otto didn't say much about this. "You can decide on your own about this matter. If you have any difficulties or needs, just tell me or Rita."

The Undying Blade led by Yulandel and the Iris Squad led by Maria are the two most elite Valkyrie squads in Skyward. The Coral Island collapse incident has been declared to be over, the Herrscher has disappeared, Maria brought Anna back to Skyward, and the Honkai beast named Quincabana that was born with the Herrscher was also destroyed by Yulandel. As Skyward's strongest combat force, Yulandel cannot stay on Coral Island forever. When the situation on the Coral Island is under control, she will naturally return to Skyward.

So now the Indestructible Blade remaining on the Coral Island is actually led by Rita.

Otto expressed confidence in Rita's ability to get things done.

After listening to what Otto said, Karen on the communication screen was silent for a long time. She glanced at her side before speaking again: "Um... The deputy captain of the Snow Lotus team asked me to ask about Anna's condition..."

"Ah, so she's right beside you. That's perfect." Otto said, "Anna's condition is relatively stable right now, but she still needs to be observed at the Skyward Headquarters for a while before further confirmation. So, while Anna is under observation at the Skyward Headquarters, Leonie Kaslana will serve as the captain of the Snow Lotus Squad."

"…Anything else?"

Otto thought about it and felt that there didn't seem to be anything special that needed to be arranged on the Coral Island. According to the observation report Rita sent back about Kallen on the Coral Island, Kallen did not have any discomfort when fighting with the other Valkyries there.

So he said, “No more.”

"...Then I won't bother you and continue working on the documents."

As Kallen finished her words, the communication was cut off.

It seems that Karen is already fully familiar with the operation of modern equipment. Her future will continue to extend towards a brighter future. However, Karen's future has been extended, but I...

"But he is still just a fool who is stuck in the past and has no future."

The Valkyrie station on Coral Island.

Leonie secretly glanced at Kallen who was still staring at the communication device in a daze after the call was cut off. To be honest, she was really shocked when she learned Kallen's true identity from Rita.

What, Lady Kallen is resurrected? How come I didn't know about such a big thing?

After Leonie had calmed down from her shock, Rita continued to explain Kallen's identity. The general meaning was that the news of Kallen's resurrection had to be kept secret, but since Leonie was the future head of the Kaslana family, she was needed to further conceal Kallen's identity here and help Kallen cover up when necessary.

Leonie was confused for a moment, but soon understood. After all, the resurrection of the dead was no small matter for the outside world. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it had to be covered up.

But now that Master Kallen has been resurrected, it is only a matter of time before the Kaslana family regains the glory they once lost, right?

Although the appearance of Saint Karen had long been described in history books and by many painters, the person who appeared in front of her was a real person after all, a great figure in history, the fiancée of the Bishop who was the first love of countless Valkyries. Leonie could not help but take a few more glances.

"What's wrong, Leonie?" Kallen turned her eyes away from the communication device and looked at Leonie. "Since you knew my identity, you seem to have secretly looked at me quite a few times."

"Ahem! Sorry, Lady Kallen..." Leonie, who was discovered, said awkwardly, "It's just... I'm a little curious about you, the glory of the Kaslana family, the famous saint five hundred years ago..."

“The glory of the Kaslana family…” Kallen lowered her eyes, “This is a bit too much. I just did what I should do, and in the end I didn’t succeed…”

What about the glory of the Kaslana family? Is this how the younger generations of the Kaslana family see themselves now? How much effort did Otto put into promoting it?

"You are really too modest. We have been hearing your stories since we were young. Everyone in the Kaslana family regards you as an idol." Leonie said.

As an idol...

Looking at Leonie's appearance, Karen suddenly thought, in addition to protecting himself, did Otto conceal his identity from the outside world also consider this situation?

Fortunately, Leonie is the only person in Kaslana's family who knows my true identity. Otherwise, if there were a few more people like this, I really wouldn't be able to bear it.

Thinking of this, Kallen said quickly: "There is no need to continue this topic. By the way, Leonie, you also heard what Otto said in the communicator just now, right? From now on, you will temporarily take over the position of captain of the Snow Lotus team."

Leonie nodded. In fact, when the captain was temporarily unable to perform his duties, she, as the deputy captain, should have taken over the captain's duties temporarily. There was no need for the bishop to make special instructions. But since the bishop mentioned it specifically, it meant that Anna might stay in the Mandate Headquarters for quite a while.

Wait, speaking of the Bishop, there is also Lady Kallen...

Leonie's gaze on Kallen became strange again.

"Leonie, why are you looking at me like that?" Karen felt very uncomfortable with Leonie's gaze.

"Lady Kallen, your public last name is still Kaslana, right?"

"Well, is there any problem?" Kallen didn't understand what Leonie meant. Kaslana was her last name, why should she change it?

"I thought it would be Apokalis..." Leonie whispered. She thought that because the Apokalis family colluded with Anti-Entropy Cocolia in the previous Kolosten incident, they were wiped out by Otto afterwards, leaving only some side branches who really didn't participate and could still work honestly for Otto. Compared with Kaslana's identity, wouldn't the identity of the Apokalis family, which is almost left with only a few people, be a better arrangement?

Besides, isn't Lady Kallen the fiancée that the bishop has been waiting for five hundred years? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to use the last name Apokalis?

Could it be that the bishop is planning to change his last name to Kaslana?

"Apokalis, why am I..."

Kallen's voice suddenly froze. She was not stupid, and she immediately thought of the other meaning of Leonie's words, but...

"Sorry, I was so presumptuous! I... I'll go arrange other matters for the Snow Lotus team now!" Leonie thought that she had embarrassed Karen by speaking too directly, so she immediately bowed and ran away.

Kallen just remained silent and turned her gaze to the communicator.

Fiancée? She almost forgot that she had this identity. Does Otto still remember it? He probably remembers it. But for Otto now, does he still care about this identity?

Chapter 123 Mei's Journey to Paradise

Is this world crazy or am I dreaming?

This is what Mei is thinking right now.

Who could explain to her why the school doctor of Saint Freya is Su, the ancestor of the Apokalis family and one of the Fourteen Heroes of Chasing Fire, Tianhui?

Or, why would Saint Freya's security guard be the most unruly king of the previous civilization, Qian Jie of [Ao Mie], one of the Fourteen Heroes of Chasing Fire? By the way, is Master Qian's real name actually Qian Jie? !

Or, why would the school director and music teacher of Saint Freya be the superstar of the previous civilization, Eden of Gold, one of the Fourteen Heroes of the Fire Chaser?

The most outrageous thing is, why is his squad leader not only the Red Kite Immortal, but also Hua from [Fusheng], one of the Fourteen Heroes of Chasing Fire?

In addition to the people he had met, what he had inquired about was even more outrageous. Grayshu and Velvet, who had not yet shown up, were St. Freya's art teacher and physics teacher respectively... Although these two resigned and disappeared after the Battle of Destiny, the principal suspected that they were undercover agents of Destiny.

How did Principal Theresa manage to turn Saint Freya into such a place where talented people can hide? And were those two undercover agents hired by fate?

Numb, Mei is really numb.

No wonder Kiana said that... Is this the truth on the other side of the world? Isn't this truth a bit too shocking?

No, who would have thought of this? The security guard, Master Qian, who seems to have a bad temper but is only tough on the outside but soft on the inside, is actually the mad king who could tear apart the Herrscher with his bare hands in the previous civilization? Who would have thought that the Awakened One who founded the Apokalis family and promoted the establishment of the Mandate of Heaven would actually work as a school doctor in Saint Freya?

How did Principal Theresa manage to get six of the fourteen heroes to appear in Saint Freya, from student to teacher, from security guard to school doctor, and then to school director? How come Mr. Walter of Anti-Entropy, who they had been trying to find for so long, was walking around right under their noses?

Mei is still a little confused, but after the initial shock, she accepted the reality. After all, the point of her coming to Paradise was not to care about how many people in her previous real life were pioneers of the previous civilization, but to follow in Kiana's footsteps.

After taking a deep breath, Mei began to count the seals she had obtained so far and organize the information she had obtained. Alicia in the Paradise generously handed over the seal she was in charge of to her. Although she did not know the names of Alicia and Lucifer's seals, Alicia's seal could actually help her further control the power of the Herrscher in the Paradise.

As for Lucifer... compared to the outside world, the heroes in Paradise are more accustomed to calling him "Feng", which was his name in the previous civilization. On the contrary, the name Lucifer seems to easily arouse their disgust for the heroes in Paradise.

Among them, Qianjie's reaction was the most obvious. He had only asked him why there were two different names for the same person in Paradise and outside Paradise. The outside world all called him Lucifer, while in Paradise, no one except Alicia mentioned the name Lucifer. Alicia only mentioned it once when she first met him and never mentioned it again.

After hearing this, Qianjie was silent for a moment, and then flames rose up in the entire venue.

"Herrser... you are so brave to ask this question... But since you dare to ask it, you must be prepared to pay the price!"

At that time, the high temperature of the entire venue and the pressure from Qianjie himself almost made Mei breathless. She was absolutely sure at that time that Qianjie could really tear the Herrscher apart with his bare hands, but fortunately, this scene did not last too long. Qianjie put away the flames and said in a hoarse voice: "You asked the wrong person this question, and... forget it this time, I don't want to hear this word again. If there is a next time, then I will not just pretend like this time."

After saying this, Qianjie left.

It seems... Qianjie in the paradise is more violent than Master Qian outside the paradise?

With a heart full of doubts, 乚 went to find Kevin, who was standing on a high place in Paradise, gazing into the distance. Kevin was one of the people who treated her better than her in Paradise, except for Alicia. Although he was taciturn, he would answer some of her questions. The [Savior] mark was also one of the first marks he obtained.

"Kevin, in the outside world, everyone calls you Kevin Kaslana, the ancestor of the Kaslana family. In the classics I know, the ancestors of Shaniyat are Alicia and Lucifer. As the narrators, why did you use the name 'Maple' instead of the previous civilization's name when recording Lucifer in the outside classics?"

Mei thought that the question she asked should be normal, but before she finished asking, she felt the temperature around her drop rapidly, making her, a Herrscher, feel icy cold. Kevin was silent for a long time before answering her question: "The answer to this question... You are not qualified to know it now. And, I must warn you that in the paradise, Feng is just Feng. Don't mention 'Lucifer' in front of anyone again. Especially Alicia."

Mei didn't quite understand why Kevin said that, but after saying that, Kevin left without even giving her a chance to ask any more questions.

"In the paradise of the past, the names of Alicia and Feng are unknown. Perhaps the answer I'm looking for is related to their names..." Mei thought, "It's just... I know too little at this stage, and the information in the paradise seems a bit confusing..."

I have found a document before, which recorded that Qianjie once tore the Fifth Herrscher apart with his bare hands before undergoing the fusion warrior surgery. The battle was over in just a moment. It was Kevin who led the team to inspect the scene and made the conclusion.

However, in another somewhat damaged copy of Paradise data, the Fifth Herrscher was conquered by Lilith before he was fully awakened, and the people present at the time were recorded as Feng, Alicia, Hen, Qianjie, and Padufils.

Another problem arises here. Meiyi Padohelis also has an impression of him. Although she has not seen this hero in Paradise, she has been to the shop opened by Padohelis and used the silver coins dropped in Paradise to exchange for some information and engravings. There are also problems with the archival records of Padohelis.

A record shows that Padofelice joined the Fire Moth by accident after the Tenth Herrscher incident, but in this record, Padofelice was already a formal fighter of the Fire Moth during the Fifth Herrscher incident.

In the paradise, there seem to be two contradictory explanations of a historical event, or in other words, there seem to be two parallel worlds. The above example is just one of the ones found by Mei.

This was also a problem that she could not figure out. She only knew that the records of another parallel world were incomplete, and after reading it, her memory became a little fuzzy. It seemed that even if she had read the things recorded above, she would forget them after leaving the paradise.

Originally, I wanted to ask the person involved, Qianjie, but in the end... I asked questions about Feng and Lucifer first, and Qianjie got angry for no reason and left. Then I asked Kevin, and Kevin told her not to ask any more questions and left too.

So now Meiyi was thinking, why not ask Su herself? Su should be the one with the best temper among Yingjie except for Alicia. Meiyi's first reaction was to ask Alicia, but Qianjie was there at the time, so she asked Qianjie first, and then Kevin said not to mention this to Alicia.

Although she didn't understand the reason, she wasn't stupid enough to be stupid about something Kevin had specifically reminded her about.

Since I can't mention this to Ai Lixia, I can ask Ying Jie, who has a better temper.

Mei is a little anxious now. She has finally chased Kiana to the World Serpent and entered the Paradise of the Past to seek the same perspective and height as Kiana. Now it seems that the answer is right in front of her, but the heroes all say that it is not the right time yet or they don't answer. If this goes on, when will she be able to catch up with Kiana who has already gone to the other side of the Paradise?

Moreover, he hadn't found any information about the other side of Paradise, except what Feng mentioned at the beginning.

No, now I have to find out where Su is...

"No need to look for me, I'm right here."

Su's voice suddenly sounded behind Mei, scaring her.

"Su? When did you get here?"

"It was not long after Kevin left." Su sighed softly, "Regarding the names Lucifer and Feng... for other visitors, this doesn't mean much, and for you, the answer has not yet been revealed. You just need to know that the world cannot bear the name of 'Feng', and only 'Lucifer' can keep everything going."

Mei: "But I think I should have the right to seek answers."

(For example, even though you have answered this question, more questions arise. Why can't the world accept the name of 'Feng'? Why can the name 'Feng' be preserved in the paradise of the past?)
