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

"Since it has already happened, and Sister Alicia has not denied it, then rather than how and why Sister Alicia did it, what I want to know is, how is Brother Yufeng doing now?" Grayxiu took over the conversation calmly, "Indeed, Sister Alicia is right, but Brother Yufeng is also our comrade-in-arms and close friend. We at least have one thing in common regarding Brother Yufeng's sacrifice - that is to make sure that what has happened will not happen again. Since Sister Alicia has already done this, why not tell everyone about the next arrangements?"

Mebius glanced at Grayshuin with some surprise. She didn't expect Grayshuin to speak at this time, and what she said seemed to make sense?

But Mebius always felt that something was not right...

Mebius felt very crazy about what Alicia did. Since the beginning of modern civilization, Alicia has become more and more willful. When Mavis faked her death, she gave up the Fire Project she was responsible for very cleanly and went into sleep in the [Future] and didn't care about anything else. This time, she took it upon herself to cut off the connection between Feng and Kiana without telling most people, making everyone else lose the way to communicate with Feng.

To put it bluntly, Alicia really doesn't even plan to act now, and is planning to monopolize Feng?

Where did the old Alicia go?

"Arrangements... well, no." Alicia spread her hands and said, "Anyway, everyone has their own ultimate means to fight the end, why am I the only one who has to say it here?"

"If Yufeng isn't with you, who else can you say it?" Mobius said unhappily.

Alicia changed her sitting position: "But I don't want to say it?"

"Tsk..." Qianjie smacked his lips unhappily. He felt that Alicia was now in a completely bad state. It was useless to ask her questions, as everyone just perfunctorily dealt with things like practicing Tai Chi.

Kevin, the other person who is most likely to know about it, is now like a statue, not saying a word. Alicia and Kevin can really suppress everyone present. If they fight hard, these two can beat all the remaining people.

Therefore, as long as they are determined to play dead, it will be useless to use force, because two of the three most powerful divine keys, [Past] and [Future] are in the hands of these two guys.

Qianjie really thinks that if he really can't win, he will just take action, even though the reality is that he won't be able to win even if he takes action. But having said that, does that mean Qianjie is the kind of person who won't take action if he can't win?

"Since Sister Alicia doesn't want to talk about this, let's not talk about it now." Gray Xiu's expression was still very calm. "Then, Sister Alicia, you have to tell us the truth about Sister Hua's disappearance and the current situation in Taixu Mountain, right?"

Kosmo glanced at Grayshu, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

He had just noticed that Qianjie's hands were clenched and he was about to go berserk, and he was ready to take action in time to help hold Qianjie down. As a result, before Qianjie was about to go berserk, Grayshut suppressed the topic and successfully prevented the chaos that would follow.

(Gray has indeed grown up.)

"Well... this question... should be said to have nothing to do with me." Alicia replied, "The consciousness of the Herrscher of Knowledge occupied Hua's body. She was intercepted by me on the way to the World Serpent, and she ran back to Taixu Mountain. As a new Herrscher, her authority is not yet perfect. As for Taixu Mountain... I think everyone still remembers what happened there five hundred years ago, right?"

"Sister Mostima is right there..." Padu whispered.

As an experimenter, Mobius reacted immediately: "You mean, Mostima opened the [door] by destroying her own existence, and at the same time left an imaginary singularity. The Herrscher of Consciousness, as a newly born Herrscher, unconsciously guided the expansion of the imaginary singularity in Taixu Mountain, which led to the current strange phenomenon in Taixu Mountain?"

"As expected of Dr. Mobius, your answer is correct." Alicia said with a smile, "However, I can add that the authority of the Herrscher of Knowledge comes from the Cocoon of the End. After guiding the expansion and activation of the imaginary singularity, it also attracted the absurdism that was severely defeated by Kiana in Changkong City."

"Absurdism... I see." Wei Wei thought thoughtfully, "Absurdism is the redundant thoughts that Yu Feng has discarded in the past 50,000 years. Although it is a memory that he does not need, the opposition to the Cocoon of the End is innate. After noticing the appearance of the Herrscher of Consciousness, absurdism came to him as soon as he smelled the scent."

That's not right... Mobius reacted. Does this mean it has nothing to do with Alicia? If Alicia didn't stop the Herrscher of Consciousness, the Herrscher of Consciousness would have gone straight to the World Snake. Wouldn't it be easy for the people in the World Snake to capture the Herrscher of Consciousness? But Alicia stopped the Herrscher of Consciousness and sent him back to Taixu Mountain...

It's hard not to suspect that Alicia did it on purpose!

Absurdism is a brand new virtual tree god skeleton, which is born through the fusion of Feng's memory and the imaginary internal energy of the imaginary tree, and the unconscious catalysis of Feng's own authority. From now on, this thing will become another threat to humans when the Herrscher appears next.

The birth of the Herrscher inevitably involves the opening of an imaginary singularity. As long as an imaginary singularity opens, absurdism will smell the scent and invade reality. And according to the current monitoring of Mount Taixu, absurdism will react faster and stronger each time...

What exactly is Alicia planning by doing this?

As Mebius was thinking, her eyes inadvertently fell on Kevin, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: the Stigmata Plan.

In one version of the Stigmata Project, a virtual tree god skeleton named Existentialism is needed to compile the world. Will the invasion of absurdism into the intrinsic world pave the way for another virtual tree god skeleton that may be stronger than Existentialism?

At present, Mebius did not know much about absurdism. At least she did not know the existence of the other two virtual tree god skeletons. Alicia did not tell everyone what she knew.

Mebius shifted his gaze to Lilith, who was drinking tea and staying out of the whole process. If something really happened to Feng, Lilith would not be so calm. As Alicia's nemesis, she was the only person Alicia could not control. Now that Lilith was so calm, it might be that Lilith also knew about Feng's disappearance this time.

Noticing Mebius's gaze, Lilith put down the teacup in her hand and said innocently and sincerely, "Dr. Mebius, it's useless for you to look at me. I don't know anything."

Do you think I believe you?

Mebius gave her answer with her eyes. She was now certain that the two Siwon sisters had colluded with each other!

Damn it, even if you don't want Yu Feng to spend too much time with that amnesiac Zhong Yan, you two shouldn't cut into other people's time too! What? Are we also within your defense range?

Sakura, who had been sitting in the corner and had been silent all the time, looked up at Alicia, then at Kevin, then retracted her gaze and continued to be an invisible person.

It's not that she doesn't care about Feng's situation, but... she seems to have discovered something, that is, Alicia seems to have only separated the connection between Feng and Kiana. Through Yae Sakura's stigmata, she can still contact Feng. After all, the fact that Yae Sakura's consciousness could be stored in the stigmata was something Sakura did on purpose.

Although she had never thought that she could really lure Feng out later, and had Feng leave a backdoor in Yaezakura's stigmata space, so that after he "disappeared", when she was anxious to go directly to Alicia to ask, he had a way to contact her and asked her to do something...

Otherwise, if something really happened to Feng, Ying would not be able to sit here any longer. She would have drawn her sword and followed Qianjie to fight with Alicia and Kevin.

However, in Sakura's eyes, although what Alicia did was not right, how to put it... Sakura should be considered to be in the same group with Alicia, or she is even more extreme than Alicia.

Sakura did not carry out any plan from the beginning. She was indifferent to everything in the current civilization. The only thing she cared about was that the destruction of the world had nothing to do with her, as long as her sister and Feng were alive and well.

As for how other people get in touch with Feng, that depends on their own ability.

And why did Alicia do this and not block the way for others? It was probably because her fundamental purpose was to prevent Feng from dying again. Not telling others that she could contact Feng was purely Alicia's own little thought.

She didn't block other people's ways to contact Feng because Alicia was not like that by nature. No matter how much she acted like Lilith, she was not Lilith. But she pretended to be like that because Alicia really wanted to monopolize Feng.

Sakura guessed correctly, but she chose to remain silent.

"Alicea, I don't think this is a good time to joke around with Tai Chi." Su said, "The Absurdism of the Void Tree God Skeleton is a brand new Void Tree God Skeleton. It is an opponent we have never faced even in the previous civilization, and now it has appeared in the current civilization... Isn't the most fundamental action for all of us who don't want Feng to leave again to help humans defeat the collapse and cross the end?"

"You're right, Su, but the emergence of absurdism is not all bad." Alysia replied, "It will also become a necessary step for mankind to cross the end."

"Ailishiya, what you mean is..." Su frowned slightly.

"This is related to one of the plans Feng prepared to fight against the End. Although everyone has their own final backup plan, if we can defeat the End in the end, those not-so-good backup plans will no longer need to be used, right?"

"Then don't keep us in suspense and tell us in detail," said Mebius.

Chapter 141 Heading to the Mountaintop

Taixu Mountain.

"What did you say? Sister Bronya, you are going to World Snake?!" Wendy looked at Bronya in surprise as she calmly told the news. And judging from Bronya's tone, this was not a discussion but a notification.

Walter frowned and looked at Bronya, and after a while he said: "...Kiana agreed?"

"That's right." Bronya lowered her eyes and said, "Mr. Walter, I think it's no longer the time for Destiny and Anti-Entropy to fight each other. Honkai is still moving forward. Destiny has the support of the World Serpent Lord, and therefore Destiny can always be one or even ten steps ahead of Anti-Entropy. If it continues like this, there is no need to wait for Destiny to take action. Anti-Entropy will be stretched to its limits to fight Honkai on its own."

Walter nodded. He understood what Bronya said, but there was nothing he could do because the Forerunners had never thought of dealing with Anti-Entropy. Sakura, the only Forerunner who served as an executor in Anti-Entropy, also remained indifferent to the internal affairs of Anti-Entropy.

The technological basis of Anti-Entropy comes from the study of the relics left by the previous civilization. If the Forerunners were the survivors of the previous civilization, then Destiny, which has the support of even only one Forerunner, would definitely be much ahead of Anti-Entropy in this regard... For example, Walter had no idea how much Otto knew now. He only knew that everything that had happened so far seemed to be under Otto's control.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Anti-Entropy can still compete with Destiny, but Walter knows clearly that Anti-Entropy has already tried its best in this game, while Otto on the side of Destiny still has some cards to play.

Walter was also very confused about the attitudes of the pioneers. If they did not support Anti-Entropy, why did Sakura, one of the pioneers, choose to join Anti-Entropy as an executor and provide the most basic support for Anti-Entropy during the turbulent days when Anti-Entropy was just established?

In any case, the Forerunners do not recognize Anti-Entropy, which means that Anti-Entropy has no way to contact them so far. But Bronya is different. She is Kiana's friend and the next leader of Anti-Entropy. It would not be a bad thing if Bronya could follow Kiana to the World Serpent.

"Since you have made a decision, I believe you must have thought it over carefully, Bronya." Walter said, "Just do it according to your own ideas. As for the other aspects, I will take care of it."

"Thank you, Mr. Walter." Bronya said, and then she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Just now, I also told Kiana about Mr. Siegfried. Kiana...she doesn't know that Mr. Siegfried suddenly disappeared in the Anti-Entropy Base."

“Doesn’t Kiana know?” Walter’s brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again.

Bronya nodded, but didn't tell Walter what happened next.

When Kiana heard the news of Siegfried's inexplicable disappearance, she was indeed surprised and shocked, but she quickly calmed down. After learning some basic information from Bronya, she told Bronya that she would find a way to investigate it later.

This feeling... how should I put it, it's a bit strange. Kiana didn't know about Siegfried's disappearance, but her subsequent reaction was a bit too calm? Or, compared to Siegfried's disappearance, it seems that there are other things that Kiana cares about first.

Perhaps seeing Bronya's confusion, Kiana then explained: "From what I understand, basically all the world snake lords have no special need to deal with Mr. Siegfried... because this is what Lucifer said. At that time... he promised me that as long as Mr. Siegfried did not deliberately offend them, they would not do anything to Mr. Siegfried. What's more, Mr. Siegfried... there is really no need for them to specifically target him, right?"

Although Kiana said it very tactfully, Bronya quickly understood what Kiana meant: Siegfried was not worthy of the other pioneers making such a big fuss. If they wanted to catch Siegfried, they could just catch him directly. Why make it so mysterious? This was exactly what Walter and the others had guessed.

And... Kiana's calling him "Mr. Siegfried" all the time was a bit strange, but combined with Kiana's previous calmness, it surprisingly made sense...

But that was not within Bronya's scope of concern. She had already done her best by mentioning Siegfried's current situation to Kiana and getting Kiana's promise to investigate it later. There was nothing more Bronya could do. After all, she was not familiar with Siegfried. She mentioned Siegfried here for the sake of Anti-Entropy and because Siegfried had taken care of Kiana for a period of time.

As for when and how Kiana investigates, what does that have to do with Bronya? Unless Kiana needs her to do something, Bronya will not do anything.

Are you kidding? Bronya doesn't think that just because she entered the World Snake with Kiana's relationship, she has the qualifications to investigate at will in the World Snake. If she gets into trouble, Kiana will be implicated. Does she think the burden on Kiana is not heavy enough?

"Speaking of which..." Wendy's voice interrupted Bronya's thoughts, "Sister Bronya, when you go to the World Snake, are you planning to look for Sister Seele?"

After all, there is a precedent of going to World Snake to find Kiana, and Bronya is not without acquaintances in World Snake.

Going to see Xi'er?

This should be one of the reasons for going to World Snake.

So Bronya didn't try to hide it and admitted frankly: "Yes, whether it's Seele or Kiana, Bronya believes in their character, but now they have all chosen the path of the World Serpent without exception, so Bronya wants to understand the reasons for their choices, instead of continuing to be trapped in the ideal cocoon."

"Is that so... Then I will stay in St. Freya Academy and wait for your good news?" Wendy said.

"Wendy...if you want, you can also..."

"Forget it, Sister Bronya. Actually, I no longer have the desire to do something for the world as actively as I did when I became a Valkyrie." Wendy spread her hands to show her attitude of giving up. "To be honest, this may sound a bit unrighteous to the Ruler of Reason next to me, but to me, the truth of the world and the history of the previous civilization are not that important. I just need to do what I should do. What's more, if I leave, are you going to let the principal stay alone in Saint Freya?"

Bronya: "..."

That makes sense... The principal really put a lot of thought into each of them, whether it was when he insisted on saving Kiana during the battle of destiny, or when she went to negotiate with Lucifer when Mei insisted on running away... After Wendy said that, she felt that she didn't feel sorry for Anti-Entropy by running away now, but she really felt sorry for the principal...

"Then I'll leave the job to you, Principal." Bronya said, "When you go back...please tell Bronya that you're sorry..."

If we meet again in the future, I will still have to say sorry.

Walter withdrew his gaze from the two girls and looked up at the sky outside Taixu Mountain. Bronya was about to go to the World Serpent to find her future path. This incident also reminded him of Kevin's memory and Kevin's obsession when he saw him in the Quantum Sea. For Kevin, nothing can be sacrificed on the road to fighting the collapse. It is a war that can only be won and not lost.

"On the burning land, I made a promise to him, to everyone, that no matter how many sacrifices were made, no matter how many ideals were trampled upon, humanity... would defeat the Honkai."

Kevin came from the smoke of war in the previous civilization. The destruction of the previous civilization might be an unforgettable scene for him, but... Kevin's obsession with defeating Honkai is understandable, but Walter could never agree with the fact that he did not believe in humans anyway.

In Kevin's eyes, it seems that all humans are just chess pieces he uses to fight against Honkai. All of them can be abandoned in order to fight Honkai. He is unwilling to give any trust to humans. In Walter's view, every human is an independent individual with thoughts and has his own life. They are definitely not chess pieces that Kevin can manipulate and consume at will.

These were also the exact words he used to reject Kevin's invitation.

After coming out of the Quantum Sea, they learned more inside information from Seer. Kevin's choice of such a radical path and means was largely related to mankind's betrayal of Lucifer during the last battle of the previous civilization.

But... this should not be a reason for Kevin to arbitrarily decide the future of current civilization.

"... Second Acting Herrscher, just because I stopped Kevin and helped you leave the Quantum Sea doesn't mean I will go with you."

Kosmo's words echoed in Walter's mind. More than a thousand years ago, Kosmo chose to fall into the Quantum Sea with Kevin in order to stop Kevin from continuing his radical plan. He confronted Kevin in the Quantum Sea for a thousand years. In terms of the concept of fighting against the collapse, Kosmo was undoubtedly different from Kevin, but...

"...After all, you are still the same as you are now. At least in my opinion, you are not capable of realizing your ideals... With just you as you are now, how can you shoulder the responsibility of the world he hopes for?"

Yes, in his eyes, Anti-Entropy is incapable of realizing its ideals. In fact, this seems to be the case. Compared with Otto's destiny, Anti-Entropy has too many constraints.

Walter knew very well that the collapse would not give him more time to recover his physical condition, and even if he recovered, it would be difficult for him to support the entire Anti-Entropy and further utilize the power of the Herrscher Core. But Bronya was different. She had many more possibilities in the future than he did.

He also remembered what Lucifer said to Jizi when they were in Sky City:

“Is this your time, or my time?”

"It's very simple from beginning to end. If Kiana doesn't step forward, and if you pin your hopes on me to save the world, then don't criticize the plan I choose to implement. Just hide in the safe house and wait for my screening and my rescue."

Walter sighed deeply.

After a brief period of intelligence integration, it was finally deduced that the source of the mutation was located at the top of Taixu Mountain. Everyone unanimously approved the final plan of conquest. Kallen, Bronya and Wendy stayed in the village to protect the villagers and beware of the virtual tree skeletons and Honkai beasts that were wandering around and could break through the barrier at any time. The rest of the people climbed to the top of Taixu Mountain together to find out what was going on.

Kiana originally wanted Mei to stay in the village with her, but Mei insisted on going to the top of Taixu Mountain. She believed that the few people left in the village already had more than enough combat power to deal with those virtual tree skeletons and Honkai beasts. If they wanted to fight against the Herrscher on the top of Taixu Mountain, one more person would mean more strength.

Kiana didn't say anything more. However, Kallen originally wanted to go to the top of Taixu Mountain together, but after looking at the combat strength of the people going to the top of Taixu Mountain, she decided to follow Otto's arrangement and stay in the village after a brief thought.

After all, she doesn't have Judas or the Herrscher now, so going to the most dangerous place will not do much except cause trouble.

The only thing she was worried about was that Otto was using his original body this time. If something happened, he wouldn't be able to run away like the Soul Steel body. Not to mention that Otto had been weak and sickly since he was a child. If we really counted the combat power, if there was no Void Bankang, a hundred Ottos would not be enough for Kallen to beat.

"Don't worry, Kallen. You don't have to worry too much about me. I value my life very much." Otto saw the worry in Kallen's eyes and comforted her, "For example, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance and Su Shang next to you can testify for me."

"It's true that no one is harder to die than you." Walter didn't even bother to look at Otto any more.

Li Sushang glanced at Otto. Cherish life? Five hundred years ago, the Rakshasa people called it cherishing life? It was obvious that they were really risking their lives with the Midrash. After entering the paradise, they directly gambled their lives with the witch in the test of Lilith. Is this called cherishing life?

Otto may have many tricks up his sleeve, but when he does, he is really not afraid of death.

However, in order to prevent Kallen from worrying too much, Li Sushang finally said against her will: "Yes, the Rakshasa has many tricks, and I am here, so I can help him a little."

Kallen looked away only after the expedition team heading to the top of the mountain disappeared from her sight.

"Senior Karen, I see that you seem to want to go too. Maybe if you try harder you can succeed?" Wendy asked.

Kallen looked at Wendy and was silent for a moment before she said, "I really want to keep up with them, but I also know exactly what I can do. Just being stubborn won't bring any good results... Besides, staying here to protect the villagers is also an important matter."

Even though she wanted to go, Kallen still knew what she could actually do. Nothing was more important than being able to quickly resolve the current crisis. Since she couldn't get involved in such a high-end game, the most important thing was to avoid causing trouble, stabilize the rear, and it was equally important to protect the people in this village.

Chapter 142: Seven Swords of Taixu

"I never thought that the top of Mount Taixu would be such an illusion. Is it the obsession of sinners like you, or is it just a remnant of the past that has reappeared because of the authority of the Ruler of Consciousness?"

Otto put one hand behind his back and said with some amusement as he looked at the burly man with a terrible scar on his face who appeared in front of him.

This man couldn't be considered a stranger to him. Five hundred years ago, when he went to Shenzhou to seek hope of reviving Kallen, this man named "Ma Fei Ma" left a deep impression on him. It was a pity... Even though Otto still had some impression of Ma Fei Ma now, they had only met each other a few times.
