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

乑At this point, Walter had to admit that he or Anti-Entropy had indeed lost to Otto.

Saint Freya.

In fact, Otto had already arrived in Saint Freya quietly, earlier than the support sent by Tianming.

If Kallen had not had a conflict with Otto at that time, she would not have waited until the incident happened to discover that Otto, who was supposed to be in the laboratory, was missing.

At this time, Otto was standing in front of St. Freya's Cathedral, looking at several "things" at the door that were distorted beyond recognition by the powerful gravity. They were all undercover agents of Anti-Entropy who decided to work with Laura to enter St. Freya's Cathedral to steal information. Without exception, they were crushed to death by the gravity of the Herrscher who came out.

From their expressions, it can be seen that the Herrscher used his power with the intention of not letting them die too quickly; they even continued to live for a short while after their limbs were twisted.

He raised his head again and looked at the absurdist whose huge figure almost obscured the entire Saint Freya, and narrowed his eyes.

Logically speaking, it has been quite some time since the birth of the Herrscher of the Stone, and the Honkai energy that erupted when she awakened could destroy the entire Saint Freya in an instant. But it is obvious that if the Honkai beasts and the skeletons of the Void Trees wandering around the campus are excluded, Saint Freya today does not look like it has erupted in Honkai at all.

Everything is the same as before.

The last time the Herrscher of Consciousness awakened, he almost destroyed half of the Schicksal Headquarters, but this time when the Herrscher of Rock awakened, Saint Freya was basically unscathed.

"It should be that Absurdism absorbed the authority of the Herrscher of the Stone and the Honkai energy that she should have had when she was born, and balanced the outbreak of Honkai. After all, the essence of Absurdism is Lucifer's redundant memories, which also carry Lucifer's will to fight against Honkai and the end." Otto thought so, "But in this way, I also have a new idea for the research and understanding of Absurdism..."

After thinking for a while, Otto walked into the Cathedral of St. Freya, and ran into the Night Owl, whose every step seemed unusually heavy.

"Agent of the World Serpent..." Otto's eyes fell on Night Owl, "It seems that you still have the authority of the Herrscher."

Seeing that they were his own people, Night Owl didn't say anything more and said simply, "This is the gravity field that the Herrscher of the Stone cast on me. I didn't expect that she had been away for so long that the gravity field on my body had not disappeared at all. Falcon and several Valkyries of Saint Freya are still trapped under Saint Freya's Cathedral."

It’s not that Night Owl didn’t think about rescuing Amelia first, but the problem is that Ophelia exerts a gravitational field based on her judgment of each person’s combat power. The gravitational field on Amelia makes it impossible for her to move at all.

So after comprehensive judgment, Night Owl decided to act alone. He would first return to his hiding place to take out the Staff of Yellow Springs and find an opportunity to suppress the Ruler of Rock.

"I see. It seems that the Herrscher of Stone born this time is not simple." Otto said in a flat tone, without any surprise in his voice.

He casually used the Void Mimicry Star of Eden to remove the gravity field on Night Owl, allowing Night Owl to act according to the original plan, and then continued to the underground of St. Freya's Cathedral.

When passing by the place where Amelia and others were trapped, Otto also removed the gravitational field on them, allowing Amelia to lead the group of Valkyries to leave the cathedral.

As for what those intelligence Valkyries would think when they saw the Bishop of Destiny coming in person, Otto didn't care at all, nor did he need to care. Anyway, Theresa's return to Destiny after this incident was almost certain, and Theresa had indeed accumulated a lot of management experience during her time in the Far East Branch. When the time came, she would be transferred back to the headquarters to review documents with Yulandel and the others, which would save him a lot of trouble.

When Anti-Entropy invaded St. Freya, Theresa had already changed the key to the database in the basement of St. Freya's Church. But what difference does this make in front of Otto, who possesses all the treasures of the Void?

Otto easily cracked the key that Theresa had reset and entered the core database.

"Ha, they are still here after all. Even if they are just copies of my best friends, their looks are exactly the same, and destroying them would easily remind me of my helplessness at the end of the Second Great Collapse, so maybe I should just leave them here and ignore them..." Otto smiled helplessly.

Kallen, Theresa, Kiana... They are all too kind, so they are always indecisive and bound by indifferent compassion.

But the world needs people like them, because only with their existence can the human species continue to exist, so... Otto doesn't mind guiding and creating an environment that allows them to exist.

And now, Otto came here to conduct an experiment.

He walked through the containers with his hands behind his back, and finally stopped next to a container.

There is a secret in the basement of St. Freya's Cathedral that has been almost forgotten by everyone, that is, there are a large number of clones of Cecilia, and these clones are all created by Otto.

Since Cecilia was able to resonate with the Black Abyss White Flower when she was young, she was suspected to be qualified to be Lucifer's vessel. After informing Cecilia's father Leopold, Otto began various experiments on Cecilia, and these clones were born at that time.

Therefore, when cloning Kiana and creating another container k423, the technology had become much more mature.

Moreover, Cecilia herself even knew about the cloning of Kiana, but she had always been hesitant about it and asked Otto whether he could let her replace Kiana. As a result, the experimental plan for Kiana itself was delayed again and again. Finally, until Cecilia died, Otto went directly to discuss it with Leopold.

After Cecilia's death, Theresa had a conflict with Otto and went to the Far East branch alone to establish St. Freya. The clones in these containers were transferred by Otto at that time, in case Theresa discovered the secret under the church one day, which would intensify Theresa's idea of ​​breaking up with herself completely.

The arrival of a new era inevitably means the passing of the old era. Otto has always been clear about his own positioning. He knows that he will come to an end sooner or later, so he wants to make his ending grand and meaningful.

You see, the bishop who had ruled the Mandate of Heaven for more than five hundred years had done so many cruel things. His successor overthrew him for the sake of justice, restored order, knocked the tyrant in the sky off his throne, and ushered in a new and bright era.

What a beautiful and meaningful ending.

Although Otto looked down on most of the anti-entropy people and sneered at them, he had to admit that people like Walter would be a good helper to Theresa. So from the very beginning when Theresa left Heaven's Will to establish Saint Freya, Otto had been planning these things.

However, the development of things will always be a little unexpected compared to the initial plan, such as the current dilemma of Anti-Entropy. Otto did not expect that the elders of Anti-Entropy could be sidelined to this extent.

But it doesn’t matter. If my prediction is correct, Walter will probably come to find me soon.

And now...

Otto's eyes fell on the clone inside the container where he was staying. This was the clone that was closest to Cecilia. The stigmata could carry consciousness. By transferring the stigmata that carried consciousness to the clone, the resurrection of the deceased could be achieved.

When Cecilia accepted Lucifer's power and repaired the entire Siberian ecological environment that was polluted by Honkai energy, her will was engraved into the stigma by Lucifer, which catalyzed the birth of Misterine.

However, if the stigmata were to be transferred to the clone without the help of Lucifer's power, it would become very difficult, and Lucifer himself should have wanted to preserve Cecilia's consciousness at the time. As for why he has not taken any related actions until now... maybe he feels that the time is not right.

But Otto judged that it should be possible to do so now, and he wanted to use it to complete another conjecture and experiment of his.

"I'm still very curious. When you wake up and understand the world today and what happened in the past, what kind of expression will you have? Heartache, helplessness, regret... Ha, I think I should understand Lucifer's thoughts. After all, you wanted to give up everything and elope with Siegfried. However, what needs to be faced must be faced, and what is coming will always come."

"Between your family and your daughter, and that reckless lover, you can only choose one. There is no other choice."

Chapter 171 Under the Undercurrent

"Kevin, you are here."

The white-haired man stood on a tall building, looking into the distance, and coldly said the name of the visitor: "Aponia."

Aponia walked out of the shadows, her tone remaining gentle: "The direction you are looking at... is it Saint Freya? I heard Feng describe it fifty thousand years ago, and I also learned about it from Destobia and Grayshu now. Theresa..."

"Her ideals are too naive, just like Anti-Entropy's obsession with using machines to replace life to fight the Collapse." Kevin's voice was as cold as ice. "In the face of the Collapse, their ideals are as fragile as dreams. When dawn comes, they will turn into an illusory bubble... They can either wake up from their dreams and face reality, or fall asleep and drown in their own ideals."

"So Kevin, do you think Kiana and the others can succeed?" Aponia said, "We have all seen her growth. Feng has always had high hopes for her, and her companion, Bronya, is also worthy of praise for her will."

"This has nothing to do with trust, Aponia." Kevin turned his head to look at Aponia, "I want to believe that they can defeat the Honkai and open up a future for modern civilization, but... I used to think so too."

Aponya remained silent.

Kevin retracted his gaze: "Qiana's growth is worthy of praise, I don't deny it. But is that enough? With the help of Prometheus and the preparations made in advance, the achievements of modern civilization are just like this. In the end, if we can't cross the end, then everything will be in vain."

He still remembered that Mei Raiden, who had an almost identical face to Mei, had once treated him as a memory in Paradise and asked him this question.

"Kevin, the Stigmata Plan is the worst plan... Both Feng and Dr. Mei have denied this plan, but why are you still determined to do it? And... why do you want to put the choice and burden of the future on Kiana?"

"..."

"…Do you think this is right?"

"…Regardless of right or wrong, destruction will not give you a second chance to choose. You are different from us. In your era, there was no birth of the Origin, and no second Maple appeared."

"But our future belongs to us."

"…Your present is given by him."

Mingming has the same face as Mei in his school days, which always makes him recall the past that no longer exists. However, her sensibility, which is completely different from Mei's, reminds him all the time that she is just a modern civilized person with a similar face.

Kiana has become a qualified warrior, but her identity is too complicated...

Kevin recalled the conversation he had with Feng after Feng's return. Kevin actually knew about Feng's final plan.

"Aponia, in your eyes, can you still see Feng's final fate?" Kevin asked.

As early as fifty thousand years ago, when he could no longer see anyone's fate, Aponia saw the fall of Dawn. Now, the fallen angel of Dawn has returned to the world. Kevin suddenly became curious about what he could see in Aponia's eyes at this moment.

Aponia's gaze passed Kevin and moved towards the misty sky in the distance.

"I am already blind, why ask me this question again?" she replied.

Kevin didn't ask any further questions, he just mentioned it casually.

Abonya withdrew her gaze. She had almost figured out Kevin's attitude. As Feng's best friend, Kevin probably already knew about the things Feng was going to do, and there was a high probability that he and Feng had maintained some kind of tacit understanding with each other.

And Alicia, she should know it too.

Currently, Mebius, Velvet, and Seer seem to be planning some new plan, while Alicia, Kevin, and Feng are carrying out another plan with each other in some tacit way. As for the rest of them...

Either you firmly implement the Spark Plan, trust human choices and guide them, or you remain completely neutral.

As for the fate of the current civilization... the only thing Aponia didn't tell anyone was that she could actually see it.

That's right, she could see the thread of fate that should have been erased by Alicia's power, but compared to the threads of fate she had seen before, there were some differences.

What she saw was the original fate that Feng had described 50,000 years ago, which was that he had never existed.

Today, the progress of modern civilization, which was originally on a roughly similar trajectory to its original destiny, has become chaotic, indicating that destiny seems to have really deviated significantly.

The emergence of absurdism in the Xu Shu Shen Hai is the best proof. In addition to absurdism, there are also romanticism and idealism that have never revealed their true colors.

Suddenly, Aponya thought of something.

It has been a long time since Feng returned from the desert of time, but until now, there has been no news about the fallen angels except Lilith and Xila. It is impossible for Feng to not take any action on this. What role will these fallen angels play in the future destiny?

Abonya fell into deep thought, and she found that she seemed to have fallen into some misunderstanding.

After experiencing two failed attempts to fight against fate, and after witnessing the fate of countless people in modern civilization ending up in the same place, Aponia has become numb to these things, so she subconsciously will not think beyond this scope.

The biggest doubt now is that absurdism has obviously begun to interfere with the birth of the current civilization's Herrscher and the progress of the collapse, and the existence of absurdism itself is a fallacy that should not exist in the plan of the previous civilization. Before Feng returned, before absurdism officially appeared in everyone's vision, no one expected its existence.

But after a period of initial surprise and study, most of the heroes seemed to no longer pay attention to it.

Just like now, not to mention that Kevin has no reaction to the absurdism this time, Kevin didn't even pay much attention to the last Taixu Mountain incident.

And Velvi and Mebius, who at least were paying attention during the Taixu Mountain incident, simply stopped paying attention this time and focused on another plan.

This is abnormal, because Kevin, Velvet, and Mebius are all practical men. Their attitude towards the current civilization's fight against collapse is not like Pado's purely negative attitude. If necessary, they will choose to eliminate all unstable factors that may affect the final result.

In fact, among these three people, only Mebius is the type who is dangerous in words, while Qianjie, who has the worst temper, has the gentlest attitude.

Now they have adopted a tacit attitude towards the erosion and interference of absurdism on the intrinsic world, as if they have already understood absurdism and confirmed that absurdism will not have much impact on the future of mankind, or that their plans will not be affected by absurdism, or that absurdism is simply a necessary part of their plans.

But these things are too secretive. Now each of the heroes has his own secret plans and acts according to his own ideas. As an existence that tends to be an "observer", Aponia can only understand limited things.

When it comes to the plans for each hero, Aponya easily thinks of one person.

Grace...how much does she know about this?

Thinking of Grayshu's overly misleading appearance, Aponia couldn't help but sigh softly. Grayshu really had grown up and started to have her own ideas without anyone noticing.

And now, it seems that she also has things that need to be verified.

Saint Freya.

"Do you feel it, Amo, the fluctuation of Honkai energy coming from this Absurdism... What I'm worried about now is not the Herrscher of Stone, but the Absurdism in front of me." Desdobia looked solemnly at the core of Absurdism that was constantly flashing with light. Because the Ninth Herrscher had a record of sinking the Mu Continent in the previous civilization, she always felt that Absurdism looked like a time bomb that would explode at any time.

Kosmo also looked at the huge absurdity with a serious expression, but compared to Desdobia's worries, he obviously had some other ideas.

Suddenly, feeling a hint of chill, Kosmo's gaze shifted to another part of Saint Freya. A hint of cherry blossoms caught his eyes, and then he disappeared into a building.

[Ying? Why is she here too? No, logically speaking, the Far East is the area she is in charge of, so it's not surprising that she's here... However, I haven't dealt with Ying for a long time. I just heard that she once wanted to implement the Stigma Project like Kevin, but was stopped by Hua. It's hard to say what Ying is thinking now.]

Was the chill he just felt Sakura's warning to him and Desdobia not to interfere in this?

The most radical pioneers now are Kevin, Mebius and Sakura.

Kevin and Mebius have already started their own plans. Only Sakura seems to have become a transparent person after Kaede's return. She neither expresses her opinions nor takes any action.

But this is not normal. Su also reminded Kosmo that if he meets Sakura, he should pay special attention to her actions.

[Wait a minute, these recent events within Anti-Entropy, could they also be related to Sakura? ]

Because his attention was focused on Destobia and Destiny's fight against the Honkai, Kosmo was a little careless about the actions of other pioneers... It's not that he didn't pay attention to Kevin and Mobius's actions. He knew how radical these two were, but Sakura...

After this idea popped up in his mind, combined with the information he had received about Anti-Entropy's recent situation during this period, Kosmo felt that Sakura might really be related to the chaos within Anti-Entropy.

After all, Ying Ming's apparent identity is the executor of anti-entropy and the local tyrant in the Far East.

"...Desdobia, you pay attention to Absurdism's actions first, and leave the rest to Kiana and the others after they come over. I have to go and confirm something." After saying this, Kosmo went to find Sakura.

"Hey, Amo..."

Desdobia watched Kosmo leave after giving his instructions, and she couldn't help but stamp her feet in annoyance.

Although she knew that when Kosmo said there was something very important to confirm, it meant that the matter was indeed very important, but she was really angry at the act of leaving her partner there without saying anything!

Well... speaking of this, a certain saint who was left in the dark by Otto should be on her way now. By comparison, it seems... the situation is suddenly balanced a lot. At least Ah Mo reported to me in advance, right?

the other side.

Sakura arrived at the principal's office, which was a mess at the moment. There were two lumps of flesh on the ground whose original shapes could no longer be seen, and on one side there was a block of iron that should have been a Titan that had been squeezed into a ball by gravity.

It was not difficult for a Herrscher to do this. On the contrary, she was not even efficient enough in doing this and she stayed here for a little too long.

An executor and a congressman died in Saint Freya. If we make some use of this incident, the other executors of Anti-Entropy and the Congress behind them will be eager to launch a new offensive against Saint Freya.

This is a good thing, as it saves Theresa from having to continue hanging out with these guys, and Feng doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

As for the current whereabouts of the Herrscher...

Sakura walked to the window and looked up at Absurdism.
