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

Kiana choked.

Gretsch did not continue to talk about this topic, but changed the subject: "Besides that, you should also know something about what happened recently, right?"

"The frequency of the appearance of the virtual tree's corpse has increased. This is not normal..." Kiana quickly reacted to what Grayshu said. After all, Kiana has decided to take responsibility for the future of the world. Even if she is tested and trained in the paradise of the past, she will still understand the affairs of the outside world.

"Yes, this situation is also rare in the previous civilization." Gray Xiu said, "The main reason is the erosion of reality by absurdism and the impact of Brother Yufeng projecting his own existence into the intrinsic world."

Kiana was thoughtful after hearing this: "Is it related to Feng... But can't absurdism only manifest through the open imaginary singularity when the Herrscher appears?"

"Because Jian is also taking advantage of this opportunity. Absurdism comes from Brother Yufeng's complicated memories, which also contain Brother Yufeng's authority, and Jian has been trying to swallow up Brother Yufeng's authority." Grayshu explained, "At the same time, as the Herrscher sequence increases, the level of Honkai energy will also increase, which further provides opportunities for Absurdism to invade. Under the interaction of these two phases, it is not surprising that Honkai is accompanied by the appearance of the Hollow Tree User's Corpse."

"So that's how it is... Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

"Oh, because of Brother Yufeng." Grayshu continued, "If Brother Yufeng continues to project his consciousness into the intrinsic world, it will inevitably intensify the invasion of absurdism, so it is not wrong for Sister Alicia to lock Brother Yufeng into the Stigmata space. In addition, Brother Yufeng himself is responsible for suppressing the rampage of absurdism and fighting against the cocoon itself in the Stigmata space, so he really can't spare that much attention for the time being."

Kiana lowered her eyes after hearing this, and after a long while she said, "Teacher Grayshu, from your tone, do you know anything else?"

"Well... for example, I am now replacing Brother Yufeng as your guardian?" Gray Xiu put down the paintbrush, turned from his seat and said to Kiana, "You can still act as before. No matter what happens, I can always help you. You can take this opportunity to train yourself as much as possible. These are also recognized by Brother Yufeng."

Kiana pursed her lips.

Gray Xiu tilted his head and said, "Although I am not known for my martial arts among the heroes, I can still protect you from danger. Kiana, you have only temporarily lost the protection of Brother Yufeng, but you still have me by your side, right? I can completely replace Brother Yufeng to ensure your safety, right? Or, Kiana, you care about people instead of things?"

"I……"

Why does this sound like Otto?

The two of them were silent for a long time, and Kiana finally said, "Why are you so calm when you say this, Mr. Gray?"

"In the pre-civilization, my mother took me to Grandma Mobius's laboratory to help her match Grandma Mobius and Brother Yufeng, or my father took me to Sister Alicia to match Sister Alicia and Brother Yufeng." Grace said expressionlessly, "Or Sister Velvet asked me to help with a little surprise, or when I was with Kosmo, Sister Desdobia pulled me to match Sister Paduo and Brother Yufeng. Although Sister Lilith didn't need anyone's help, Brother Kevin was quite enthusiastic, and Sister Ying also had a bell..."

After a pause, Gray Xiu looked at Kiana with empty eyes and said, "So, Kiana, why do you think I can be so calm?"

Kiana: "..."

I see. Teacher Grayshu has been numb for a long time.

"Anyway, one more is not too much, and your identity is special enough, so why do you think I am so calm?" Gray Xiu rolled her eyes and said, "Whether you have this idea or not, what is there to be unacceptable to me?"

Kiana was silent. She stared at Grayshu's face, trying to observe something from the other person's face, but unfortunately, she failed. She could not see anything except speechlessness.

But she still felt something was wrong. The rhythm of today's conversation was controlled by Gretchen from beginning to end, but every word Gretchen said seemed to be true, and Gretchen really had no need to lie...

"So...Mr. Gray, can you really help me?"

"It depends on what you think."

Kiana didn't say anything else, but left Grayshu's studio after taking a look at the painting Grayshu was working on.

Speaking of which, that painting… Miss Gracie had a mirror next to her easel. Could that be her self-portrait? But when she was talking to herself and painting, she didn’t even look at the mirror.

Am I overthinking it?

Grayshu watched Kiana leave her studio, her eyes falling on her own paintings. Then she looked at herself in the mirror, closed her eyes slightly, and chuckled softly.

"It seems that I have always known what I am like..."

On the other side, after leaving Grayshu's studio, Kiana was also thinking.

Kiana felt that Grayshu seemed to be inducing her to believe her, but also seemed to be deliberately guiding her not to believe her completely. The words with a strong Otto flavor almost subconsciously made Kiana alert, but it could not be ruled out that it was due to Grayshu's own bad taste.

After all, she had already seen some things as early as 50,000 years ago, and she was indeed asking herself to face up to her current thoughts and feelings.

So, do we really have to believe in Grace?

Kiana was thinking, and suddenly her eyes fell to the side: "Mia? What's the matter?"

"This is the latest information from Saint Freya sent back by Falcon." Mia said and handed Kiana a document.

Kiana knew that Otto had indicated that Ivar was courting Theresa, and the letter was indeed written by her. Although some people in the Shanyat family are still dissatisfied with Theresa, the impact of those opinions is not that great and is still within the scope that can be handled, so the promise made is still valid.

In addition, in order to reassure Bronya in World Serpent, she also told Mia to tell her the information about Saint Freya and Anti-Entropy as soon as possible, and then she would tell Bronya.

Kiana took the document and flipped through it, then froze.

She turned her gaze to Mia: "Are you sure this is true?"

"Principal Theresa has approved their admission," Mia said.

Kiana returned her gaze to the document, which was about the admission of Xing Mal and three other children from the Cocolia Orphanage to Saint Freya. She had met Xing Mal before during the Chiyou incident. As for the remaining sisters Rosalia and Lilia, she also knew about the affairs of Haiyuan City.

Let these three children who have an irreconcilable hatred for Tianming and the Shanyatid family enroll in Saint Freya? Isn't Theresa afraid that they will cause trouble?

Kiana has always been paying attention to the situation of St. Freya. After Bronya arrived at the World Serpent, she also told her about St. Freya. The lives of St. Freya’s students have not been greatly affected at present, but their attitude towards Anti-Entropy is not very good. Overall, they still tend to favor the Shaniyatt family.

After all, when Anti-Entropy attacked Saint Freya, the final result of the incident was that the Shaniyat family took all the responsibility and paid the compensation at the first time. Although in fact the incident was caused by the simultaneous intervention of Maria and Anti-Entropy in order to take him away, it might not be the case in the students' eyes.

Because the one who attacked the examination venue was the Titan of Anti-Entropy. Even if Anti-Entropy claimed that the reason for the rampage was unknown, it was still the Titan of Anti-Entropy.

Kiana only found out about this matter after asking Otto. It was the accident caused by Otto breaking through the underlying core program of the Anti-Entropy Titan and directly ordering Ludwig to let the Anti-Entropy mecha run wild. The purpose was naturally very obvious.

It seemed that the Shanyiat family had taken on all the responsibilities and compensation, but this actually allowed Maria, who had initiated the trouble, to escape guilt, and made Anti-Entropy the target of public criticism in Saint Freya.

The attack on Saint Freya was an established fact, and no matter how much Anti-Entropy tried to deny that the mecha runaway had nothing to do with them, it was useless. In the immediate aftermath, the Shanyiat family seized the opportunity and took full responsibility, leaving Anti-Entropy with no way to defend themselves.

Otto had no intention of hiding these from Kiana. When Kiana asked him, he admitted it frankly and said that this was just a small token of sincerity he was willing to offer for future cooperation.

Let's say it was Otto's fault. Otto was just taking advantage of the situation. If Anti-Entropy hadn't attacked Saint Freya, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to do so. Let's say it was Anti-Entropy's fault. They didn't expect this to be the outcome at the beginning.

"Why would you do that? She's also the Valkyrie of Destiny, isn't she?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie, Kiana?"

"...Don't play tricks, Otto."

"It's simple, because there are many benefits to me doing this. For example, Maria's feelings for her sister Cecilia are a little too obsessive, so obsessive that she even disobeyed my orders and acted on her own. If the matter of releasing the Emperor-level Honkai Beast without authorization is not handled properly, it will become a glaring stain on Shaniyate. Compared to this, didn't those Valkyries not lose their lives, they just can't set foot on the battlefield again? Moreover, the Shaniyate family and Destiny have already given them enough compensation, right?"

"...The glory of the Shanyat family... Otto, is this so important to you? You are not a Shanyat, right?"

"Of course I am not, but I have to protect this honor for an old friend of mine who has defended the glory of Shaniyat all his life."

So after that incident, Maria was severely punished and became much more well-behaved afterwards.

Kiana came back to her senses from her memories, she pressed her brows and continued reading. After flipping through the information of Xing and others, she looked at the other information sent back by [Falcon] and her own analysis, and fell into thought again.

Anti-Entropy also arranged for other people to go in? In other words, Xing and the others were just a cover to attract other people's attention?

It must be said that this step is indeed very coincidental. If Xing and others cause any trouble in the future, Theresa can chase them away. If Theresa does not chase them away, Anti-Entropy can also take the initiative to take them back, teach them a lesson and give Theresa some compensation. In this way, the relationship between Anti-Entropy and Saint Freya can be eased and strengthened.

"By the way, how many years has Falcon been an agent in World Serpent?" Kiana suddenly asked.

This intelligence analysis and collection ability is quite strong, but she remembered that the Shanyiat family should not have any relatives in Saint Freya.

"She was adopted and trained by Gray Snake when she was a child." Mia replied, "After that, she was trained by Lord Ludwig for a period of time in Black Abyss."

Does that mean he has the same origin as Raven? How many people did Gray Snake pick up from outside and bring them back to train?

Chapter 158: Bronya's Journey to Paradise

Paradise of the past.

"I never thought... that the pioneer of civilization, the hero who once chased fire, is actually right next to us..." Bronya thought to herself as she stood in the paradise and watched the virtual tree that turned into data and gradually dissipated.

Like Mei, after being brought to the paradise by Kiana, the first person she met was Alicia. Although the other party was a little surprised at her arrival, she still welcomed her and gave her her mark.

After asking Mei, I found out that it was Alicia who welcomed Mei when she first entered the paradise. Although Mei had one more person, Lucifer, than herself, and Lucifer didn't seem to be interested in herself so he didn't show up.

Because she had done enough homework before coming, such as the records of the ancestors of the three major families in historical documents, Bronya was still aware of the very positive image of Alicia in the documents, so she did not have too many doubts about Alicia's enthusiasm.

Moreover, she really came here with the purpose of seeking knowledge, so as a seeker of knowledge, she should naturally behave like a seeker of knowledge.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the Paradise of the Past, Bronya began to concentrate on taking trials in it and gradually became proficient in the use of the Core of the Ruler of Reason.

However, Mei was surprised by Bronya's overly calm performance.

"Bronya, aren't you surprised?"

"...unexpected, but not so unexpected."

After all, compared to Mei, Bronya already knew the identities of Su, Hua, Grayshu, Velvet and others before coming here, so when she saw Qianjie and Eden in the paradise, she was not as surprised as Mei was at the beginning. Although Mei did not say that Qianjie and Eden were also Yingjie, after all, Saint Freya was already full of Yingjie's shadows, so it was not surprising to have an extra security guard and a sponsor.

Compared to these...

"I am still too weak... The Herrscher Core can hardly exert its power in my hands. Although I don't know why Senior Alicia's seal can help me further use the power of the Herrscher, but when I leave the Paradise of the Past, I am afraid that I still won't be able to do the same as here due to the limitations of my physical fitness..." Bronya thought so, and used the power of reason to construct a floating cannon, holding it in her hand to observe it carefully.

Even though the time she had been undergoing trials in Paradise was still short, Bronya still found information about the Herrscher of Reason in Paradise.

According to the principle of the authority of the Ruler of Reason, one who knows everything and analyzes the world is the Ruler of Reason. In other words, if one can understand the operating principle of the Key of God, he can also reproduce the authority of other Rulers of Reason, just like Senior Walter can rub the Star of Eden with his hands anytime and anywhere.

Although it seems that the only weapon that Senior Walter can simulate is the Star of Eden, there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, compared with other Keys of God, the side effects of the Star of Eden are smaller and more controllable, and... a rather embarrassing fact is that the only Key of God that Anti-Entropy has is the Star of Eden.

As for Tianming, starting from the first God Key, Void Ten Thousand Treasures, the second, fourth, sixth, seventh, tenth, and eleventh God Keys are all in Tianming's possession, and the remaining third, fifth, and eighth are also in the World Serpent...

But at the moment, I can't even rub the Star of Eden with my hands. I can only construct these floating cannons based on my knowledge of firearms and the computing power of the Heavy Bunny.

"Next time if there is a chance, I wonder if I can ask Kiana to borrow the Holy Fire Judge to observe." Bronya thought again.

After all, the Star of Eden is an important asset of Anti-Entropy. Although theoretically the Star of Eden should be considered as Senior Eden's property, Senior Eden in Paradise said that if she outside cared about where the Star of Eden was, she would not have allowed it to appear in Anti-Entropy.

After seeing Eden giving away the gems casually while drunk, and remembering Eden's almost unconditional support for Saint Freya, Bronya believed it.

She originally wanted to ask Eden to borrow the final form of Eden's Star in Paradise, Harmony of the Sea, for observation and use, but the drunk Eden raised her hazy eyes and thought for a long time before saying that she forgot where she had thrown it in Paradise, and asked Bronya to find it herself and take it and play with it when she found it.

Bronya: "..."

As expected of Senior Eden...

But it was thanks to Eden who asked. At least for now, Bronya does not have the courage and confidence to ask Kevin to borrow the Skyfire.

However, it is quite a lot of work to find a Star Sea Harmony in such a big paradise. In this regard, Mei has heard that another senior, Padfils, is a know-it-all in the paradise. She can help find anyone if there is anything they need as long as they pay a price.

Unfortunately, Bronya has not met Pado yet. The heroes of Paradise she has met so far are Alicia, Kevin, Su, Eden and Qianjie.

"I wonder what's going on with Mei-san..." Bronya looked in the other direction of the paradise. In the paradise, everyone's trials were carried out individually as much as possible. Although they could go forward together, Bronya thought it might be more convenient for them to act separately, so she didn't go with Mei.

Suddenly, a strange door caught her attention.

"Hmm? This mark... is the mark of Yingjie that I have never seen before." Bronya looked at the strange door that appeared. "The style of this door is also different from the styles of other Yingjie doors I have encountered before. It seems to be..."

The gate to hell.

The appearance of this strange door almost made Bronya instinctively alert. Alicia told her that the paradise had become a little unstable recently due to some reasons, so she asked her to be careful and not to touch it casually if she found anything unusual.

But just as Bronya hesitated, the door seemed to have its data disrupted at this moment, and changed from its original appearance to a normal Tianhui door.

Bronya was stunned for a moment. She could feel that as the door changed, the original strange atmosphere disappeared instantly.

After thinking about it, Bronya chose to step into the door of salvation on the other side for safety reasons.

at the same time.

"Ah... For a moment, I almost suspected that Bronya would go directly through this door like Mei. Feng, are you going to just ignore it?" Alicia said while standing on a huge rock in the paradise and looking into the distance, "The fallen angels seem to be quite active recently."

"After all, Herrschers are rare visitors to Paradise, and the abilities of Herrschers of Reason have more possibilities than other Herrschers..." Feng said, crossing his arms and looking into the distance. "Besides, hasn't it always been like this for visitors? Fallen angels just won't appear in Paradise directly on the surface, but visitors still have a certain chance of coming into contact with them, just like Graysh might run into Astaroth."

Alicia twitched her lips when she heard that, and then said helplessly: "Then I didn't expect that after Mei, there would be another Herrscher coming to Paradise? What's more, Beffinger blatantly opened his door in front of Bronya, didn't he?"

Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Beffinger is more sensible than the others, and maybe... there will be another Herrscher coming later."

"?"

"I heard from Kiana that Anna Shaniyat has finally decided to accept her identity and power as a Herrscher. Maybe Otto will let her come to the paradise soon." Feng said.

"Ha... First it was Kiana, then Angelica, then Mei, Bronya, and soon Anna will come..." Alicia's eyes suddenly became a little complicated, "These situations were almost unimaginable in the pre-civilization era, in our time..."

Suddenly, I felt as if all the Herrschers now were traitors. Not a single Herrscher of the previous civilization stood on the side of humanity, and not a single Herrscher of the current civilization stood on the side of Honkai...

"Isn't this what you hope for? The Herrschers can coexist with humans and work together with humans to create the future of civilization." Feng looked at Alicia and said, "The dream you once pursued has now appeared in front of you."

"The dream I once pursued..." Alicia lowered her eyes. She didn't say anything else. Instead, she raised her head and looked at Feng. After a long while, she sighed softly and looked away.

"So will humans today accept the Herrscher?"

"It all depends on Kiana and the others' efforts."

As for the main reason why the fallen angels started to be active in Paradise, it was because Mei's previous actions in Paradise attracted the attention of most of the fallen angels. It was also around that time that Alicia recommended that Mei should not enter Paradise for the time being, and then she took Feng to hold a meeting in Paradise.

Although it was also because Kiana's outstanding performance made other fallen angels curious about other Herrschers of the current civilization, the main reason was still that Mei made too much noise.

Compared with other visitors, the Herrschers of the current civilization always have a special status. Admiral and Roffko both believe that the human Herrschers of the current civilization are crucial to the future fight against the collapse. At the very least, they are the backbone and cannot be trained according to the rules of previous visitors.

Then… Admiral fell silent after watching Mei’s performance in Paradise. He looked at Mei’s Paradise record, then looked at Kiana’s Paradise record, and finally looked up and asked Feng: “Are you sure they are from the same school, the same class, and the same team?”

maple:"……"

I was very sure at first, but after what you said and the comparison, I am not so sure anymore.
