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

Yes, I... am still an insecure person in essence. It's just because Feng has always been there that I can think about nothing, not care about anything, and not be afraid of anything. However, if I leave him, I will still become the same person I was before.

"So, Kiana, are you planning to go find Sister Bronya and Sister Mei now?" Seele asked again, "If that's the case, we can go together."

"Well, I am indeed going to go over there. I'm sure you and Bronya have a lot to talk about, right?"

the other side.

"So... Sister Grayshu, are you ready to bet on Kiana?" Lilith said, leaning against the wall with her arms folded across her chest. The punishment she and Mavis had received had long ended, and now they no longer had to rely on the appearance of a child. After all, a child's body would be very troublesome to move.

"...Lilim, I never bet easily." Grayshu said calmly, "Just like what Kiana and I said, the essence of cooperation is actually the exchange of interests. I help her with some things, and in return, I will also get some rewards."

"But you are indeed on your father's side, right?" Lilim looked at Grayshuin, "Then you should also know why your mother did this, and you should also understand the thoughts of the other uncles, aunts, and grandmothers...

"But in my eyes, the answers they give may not be the best outcomes."

"But that's the safest outcome, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's the safest outcome..." Grayshue lowered her eyes, "So, Lilim, I'm telling you that I never bet easily. No matter who wins in the end, I won't actually lose anything... I guess this is something that Sister Padu and I learned."

"Sister Padu..." Lilith looked at Greshu thoughtfully and said, "In fact, there is something I have wanted to say for a long time. Among all the pioneers, I think I can clearly see the purpose and position of most people, but only you, Sister Greshu, I still can't see clearly what you are thinking, or what you want to get... From a thousand years ago until now..."

"I can't see clearly... My position has always been clear. What is there to be unclear about?"

Lilith was silent. This was not what she wanted to express. There was no need to explain Greyshudder's position, but it was unclear what Greyshudder was thinking about and what she wanted.

Grace had a purpose, but she hid it so well...

To be honest, among all the elders, apart from Feng and Alicia who are their parents, Lilim and Mavis are closest to Grayshure. Grayshure has taken great care of them since they were young.

After the two of them chose to fake their own deaths, it was also Gresh who was in charge of guiding the Shaniyat family. It can be said that every generation of the Shaniyat family head Gresh left a portrait...

It can be said that Otto's care for the Shanyat family is because he himself wants to use the Shanyat family and feels guilty about Eleanor, so what is Gresh's purpose?

Speaking of their father Feng, although to outsiders it seemed that Feng had been offline in the previous civilization, Lilith and Mavis both knew that their father had never left them. At the beginning of the history of the current civilization, Feng would always appear in their dreams at night, asking them about their day's gains and whether their mother was still sad.

However, due to the interference of the cocoon, every time he wakes up from a dream, even his daughter will forget everything that happened in the dream...

Constructing an independent Shaniyat stigmata space, isolating the influence of the cocoon, and paving the way for Feng to return to the real world, this is not something that Mostima can convince her and Mavis to do with just a few words.

It’s just because they want their parents to be reunited and don’t want to forget their father anymore, that’s all.

As for Lilith... Although she should be considered Lilith's mother biologically, Lilith doesn't have much affection for Lilith. In the pre-civilization, they were often "loving mother and filial daughter". However, her uncle Davion did touch Lilith. He was also a pre-civilization person who entered the hibernation of all things and survived to the present civilization.

He was unreserved in his kindness, but as an ordinary person, he was ultimately unable to resist the passage of time and was buried in the site that originally belonged to Atagina's family in the pre-civilization era.

Lilim's thoughts returned from the distant past to the present. Grayshu had already left, and she frowned slightly.

She can be regarded as a witness to Grayshu's two "backstab" actions, whether it was the backstab against Aponia during the Yingjie Civil War or the backstab against Hua during the War of Destiny. These all prove that Grayshu's mind is actually not simple at all.

If you think in this way, then Grayshu shouldn't be without a purpose...

"If I remember correctly, Sister Grayshu's special ability to see through people's colors is no less powerful than the authority of the Herrscher of Knowledge. In fact, if used properly, it may be even more powerful than the authority of the Herrscher of Knowledge... If that's the case, then at that time..."

Like a feather falling gently to the ground.

"...Could it be that Sister Grayshu already knew about it at that time?"

Lilith frowned tightly. She didn't know whether her guess was reasonable or not. After all, that was Grayshu's special ability as a fusion warrior. If Grayshu didn't say it, no one would know whether she could do it or not... In addition, Grayshu had taken the initiative to undergo super transformation surgery in the present civilization, and since then, she had never seen how she used her ability specifically.

Therefore, as long as Grayxiu doesn't confess, no one except herself knows the limit of her ability.

"...I think I'm overthinking it. After all, Sister Grayshu wouldn't have started at that time..."

A hint of yellow, like the warm sunshine, quietly faded from Lilith's body.

Chapter 153 A Little Thought

In the holy scar space of Shaniyat.

"Ha... the child who needed everyone's protection back then has really grown up now..." Feng looked thoughtfully at Grayshuin who appeared in front of him, "How many tricks do you still have that you haven't used yet?"

"A back-up plan that's spoken out is no longer a back-up plan, right, Brother Yufeng?" Grayxiu said indifferently.

"Indeed...So, Grayshu, is there something that brings you here to see me?" Feng asked again.

"If everything is fine, can't I just come and see you, Brother Yufeng?" Grayxiu asked back.

maple:"……"

Why did this girl become so harsh in her speech?

Gresh was silent for a while, then said, "Sister Alicia has already told us about your backup plan, Brother Yufeng. Don't you have any ideas?"

"I don't have any ideas. For me, no matter what method it is, as long as I can defeat Honkai," Feng said, spreading his hands.

"But...Brother Yufeng, do you still remember why you chose to fight against Honkai?"

Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "I am the same as Kevin. He chose the path of salvation for Mei, and I did it for Ellie, and later for all of you who I care about. I never care about the survival of mankind, but I hope that your future can continue and not be interrupted by the collapse."

"So... Brother Yufeng, can you stop caring about your own life?" Grayshu asked, "You care about all of us and choose to fight against Honkai for us, but what about you? We care about you too. No one wants you to leave again... Besides, Brother Yufeng, you've already broken your promise to me once."

Feng was silent.

After a long time, he finally spoke: "I'm sorry about what happened between Hen and Blanca..."

"That's not your fault, Brother Yufeng. I know you've tried your best, but collapse often doesn't go as one wishes..." Grayshu lowered his eyes, "Dad and Mom just followed their inner thoughts in the end... That's not what I want to say."

Feng was silent.

Grayxiu looked at Feng, and after a while she retracted her gaze: "It seems that you remember it, Brother Yufeng. That's right, for us, the time we have actually spent is only a few thousand years from the beginning of human civilization to the present. For you, it is tens of thousands of years of wear and tear. But you still remember it..."

Feng lowered his eyes: "It is those memories that have supported me through this long time. Although today, I have almost forgotten the daily life of those years, but if I think back, I can still feel the warmth and comfort that time brought me... I have forgotten a lot, but I have never forgotten every promise I made to you."

Grayshu pursed her lips.

"Grayshudder, I also promised you that I would come back alive... I remember."

"But you broke your promise, Brother Yufeng... Even if you come back now, what about that time? Everyone thought you were dead. Even the Herrscher core that was recovered was broken. The scene in my painting became reality once again..."

Despair filled everyone's heart, and I was no exception.

I once wanted to try to find your color in this world after completing the fusion warrior surgery, but I couldn't find it. The "cocoon" erased all the traces too thoroughly... until I accidentally saw the extremely faint color of yours on Mavis and Lilith, so subtle that it was almost unrecognizable.

At that time, I already had some guesses in my mind.

Feng looked at the silent Grayshu, and after a long while he sighed and said: "... Grayshu, you... have really changed a lot."

"People always have to grow up, and I am no longer the child who could do nothing."

"So, Grayshu, can you do everything now?" Feng suddenly said meaningfully.

The fact that Grayshu was able to enter and exit Shanyat's stigmata space without being discovered by Alicia and Lilith was enough to prove how deep Grayshu was hiding now.

If you think carefully about what happened before, it is not difficult to find that Grayshu actually started planning a long time ago. When she projected her consciousness into the intrinsic world through the stigmata of Shaniyat, it was Grayshu who used her paint to point out the abnormalities on the road.

At that time, he thought it was the result of the cooperation between Gray Xiu and Velvet.

But now he seemed to have figured it out. It was true that Grayshut had cooperated with Velvet, but she did not leave the backdoor when she was close to Kiana. In the process of constructing the Shaniyat stigmata space, this kid probably added a lot of his own paint.

It's just that Grayshu didn't say these things. If there was no accident, Grayshu probably wouldn't use these backup methods. But when faced with an emergency, Grayshu always seemed to have a way...

"I can do anything... If I could, I would also like to say that, but unfortunately, if I could really do everything, then Brother Yufeng, you wouldn't be staying in Shaniyate's stigmata space now." Gray Xiu said softly, and then changed the subject, "Compared to this, don't you have any ideas about Kiana, Brother Yufeng?"

"Ideas...what ideas can I have?" Feng had a headache when he mentioned this. Alicia had also mentioned this to him before, which made him somewhat hesitant.

"Maybe it's because you spoiled Kiana too much, so she always feels uncomfortable after losing contact with you." Gray Xiu spread his hands and said, "Brother Yufeng, we will actually watch over Kiana's affairs. At worst... you can always trust me and Uncle Su, right? Maybe Kiana also needs some time to adapt, provided that Brother Yufeng, you will not help her again."

"...In fact, the fact that I was able to come back is partly due to the help of the End. She wanted to understand civilization and humans, so... I want to help her."

"But you spoiled her too much, and she unconsciously developed a dependence mentality. Don't worry, Brother Yufeng, Uncle Su and I will take care of Kiana. With us here, Kiana won't encounter any danger. Compared to this... I haven't seen Sister Astaroth for a long time... Can they really come back?"

Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, Xiaoya and the others will come back. It just takes some time, Grayshu, I promise you, they will come back."

"Then we have an appointment, Brother Yufeng." Gray Xiu stretched out a little finger, "Just like before, let's make a pinky promise. This time, you are not allowed to break the appointment again, okay?"

After hesitating for a moment, Feng reached out and made a pinky promise with Gray.

"In that case, I'll leave first. After all, if I stay too long and get noticed by Sister Alicia, it will be a bit troublesome." Grayshu's body began to lose color and became transparent. "As for Kiana, leave it to me. I will tell you about her regularly, Brother Yufeng."

"Then I'll ask you to take good care of Kiana."

"I will teach her well, Brother Yufeng..."

Afterwards, Grayshu's body completely turned into colorless paint and merged into Shaniyat's stigmata space, as if she had never been here.

"This girl..." Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, "something's wrong..."

He had to admit that what Grayshu said made sense. Maybe Kiana was just a little too dependent on him, so she was a little weird? Then staying away from him appropriately was indeed a reasonable way to deal with it, but...

After thinking for a while, he sighed softly and shifted his gaze to the depths of the starry sky in the Shaniyat Stigmata space.

"How much does she know now? If she had left a backdoor in Shaniyate's stigmata space, then if she wanted to investigate some of my preparations, it would not be difficult..."

However, he had to admit that at least Grayshu was on his side and would help him accomplish some things. Mebius and Velvet were both preparing another plan.

In Gracie's studio.

Grace opened her eyes and looked at the canvas. This was a half-finished painting. She dipped her brush into the paint on the palette at hand and continued her painting, as if she had been quietly painting here all along.

Brother Yufeng seemed to have some doubts about himself, but this was normal. After all, Sister Alicia had changed so much, and in Brother Yufeng's eyes, he was a little different from the good girl Grayshu in the past. However, he was still willing to believe that he could take care of Kiana. This level of trust was enough, and the rest could come slowly.

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry.

Moreover, Grayshus also knew that she would not be the only one entrusted by Feng to take care of Kiana. In Grayshus' estimation, Feng would choose Alicia and Su. Su's purpose was unclear, but at least there was no conflict with her. Alicia's purpose overlapped with his to a certain extent, which provided him with room to cooperate with her.

Based on Grayshu's understanding of Su, Su is not good at force, so he will definitely look for someone to cooperate with. But Hua is not here now, and the Herrscher of Knowledge is too simple-minded, and Su has always been half-trusting of his words, so... Su's partners will definitely be Kosmo and Desdobia.

Grayshu does not lie and does not like to lie, so her promise to Feng is true. In the coming time, she will pay attention to Kiana's growth and help Kiana when necessary, temporarily replacing Feng as Kiana's backup.

However, if she honestly did what she promised Feng, how Kiana would react would not be within the scope of her promise.

She is not in a hurry, but someone else is.

"Still... a child? But, have I really grown up?" Grayshus thought so and shifted his thoughts to the Herrscher of Consciousness. Alicia had no intention of releasing Hua's consciousness, so the Herrscher of Consciousness continued to use Hua's body to wander around in the World Serpent.

Because he had backstabbed Hua before, the Herrscher of Knowledge had a lot of opinions about him and had never let down his guard. At the same time, her consciousness and authority were indeed a problem for him. Normally, he could still cover it up with color, but if the Herrscher of Knowledge was determined to investigate, he would easily find something wrong...

Therefore, I have to think of a countermeasure. If I avoid the Herrscher of Knowledge and she doesn't show up, with her simple and straightforward personality of "I doubt you if I doubt you, no reason is needed", something unexpected might happen.

It seems that I have to find something "reasonable" for the Herrscher of Knowledge to do. Keeping her hanging around in the World Serpent may not be a good thing for Grandma Mobius and the others. However, I cannot bring this up myself. After all, I am just a "child" who "does not take the initiative to express his position in any faction."

Speaking of which, the Herrscher of Knowledge had never concealed her feelings for Feng. Although Grayshu could not see Hua's original feelings, regardless of whether Hua had such feelings or not, the Herrscher of Knowledge felt that it was enough that she had such feelings. Even though she already knew that she was a Herrscher, she would still unconsciously act like an elder to look at herself and Kiana...

Obviously, in front of him, she was just the child.

After a moment of silence, Grace put down the paintbrush in her hand and turned her gaze to the pastries placed aside. After thousands of years, she had to learn something, so for Grace now, painting was indeed her specialty, but if she had to say, she could do everything.

After all, in order to avoid situations that you cannot understand or know, you have to learn more.

Grayxiu put a piece of cake into his mouth and thought: "Speaking of which, Brother Yufeng was locked up in the Stigmata Space by Sister Alicia, so he probably can't taste some of the delicacies outside. Although Sister Alicia should use her control over the Stigmata Space to reproduce some of them, but... I don't know."

Paint can do many things, such as affecting a person's mood, or... recreating some smells she has felt before.

Slowly savoring the flavor of the pastry in her mouth, Grace recorded the color of the pastry.

In the following period of time, Brother Yu Feng might pay attention to Kiana's situation at the beginning, and only after confirming that she is fine will he feel at ease to do what he has to do. At that time, she will become Brother Yu Feng's external spokesperson. After all, everyone else has their own thoughts, or they are like Sister Lilith and Sister Paduo, who are not interested in other people's thoughts, while she does not stand on the side of anyone and at least does not seem to have any other purpose.

I seem to understand why Sister Lilith always liked to take charge of all external affairs when she was the second-in-command of the fallen angels, because that way, there are really too many things that can be manipulated.

Sister Alicia lost because of this.

As for this time, Kiana will have to be a little bit wronged.

Chapter 154: Desdobia

In a restaurant at Tianming Airport.

"..."

The dark green-haired boy placed the knife on the steak but did not move.

"What's wrong, Amo? The steak at this restaurant in Tianming Airport tastes pretty good. I taught you how to do it before~" Desdobia folded her hands under her chin and smiled at Kosmo, who was sitting opposite her with an embarrassed look on his face.

"...Well, I never doubt your words..." Kosmo said this, and his eyes fell on the Valkyries around him who thought they were hiding well.

He has been paying attention to these Valkyries for a long time, or rather, he has been watched by these Valkyries for a long time!

He just came to Tianming as requested by Destobia, but why did he feel that something was wrong? He had heard that Destobia was very popular in Tianming after he came back, but...

Why did these Valkyries look at him so strangely? It really made him uncomfortable.

Because of its special appearance, even though it can control some of its non-human appearance, such as its hands that look like normal people's, the horns on its head are like Sakura's fox ears or Padu's tail, which cannot be removed. In addition, it does not like to actively communicate with humans, so Kosmo generally does not appear in front of humans. Before the civil war a thousand years ago, Kosmo was the patron saint of humans in the dark in European legends.

As for the fact that he now appears so openly on Tianming's side, it is because Desdobia said that all his identities have been arranged, so there is no need to worry about his appearance being too conspicuous.
