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

Cecilia thought so and looked at the direction of the incubator she came out of. Otto actually had a history of this kind of thing, with Theresa and Amber.

"No, Mistellin's situation is a little special. How should I put it..." Theresa tried to explain with a headache, "It's just that... she should be considered as someone from Shaniyate's side of the [Black Abyss], is... uh..."

What is Mistrynne?

Theresa thought about it and seemed to have no idea. She only knew that this had nothing to do with the clones made by Otto.

"[Black Abyss]..." Cecilia lowered her eyes, "Has [Black Abyss] come to the fore now?"

As the Saint of Shaniyat, she certainly knew the existence of the [Black Abyss]. However, under normal circumstances, the Shaniyat of the [Black Abyss] would not reveal its identity and come to the public. For outsiders, the Shaniyat in their conventional cognition was the [White Flower].

"After all... your Shaniyat's long-cherished wish for thousands of years has been fulfilled, and the pace of collapse is also accelerating, so there is no need for the Black Abyss to continue to hide its existence." Theresa said, "Although not many people know about the existence of the Black Abyss now."

"Shaniat's long-cherished wish...that is to say, Kiana has already..." Cecilia pursed her lips.

"Cecilia, you knew what Kiana was going to do?" Theresa said with some surprise.

Cecilia showed a somewhat bitter expression: "Of course I know. As the Saint of Shaniyat, how could I not know the long-cherished wish of my family and the identity of my daughter... It's just... Originally, this [Container] should be me, but, as a carrier, I still don't meet the conditions..."

Theresa's eyes twitched: "Have you never tried to resist or something? Like taking Kiana away from Destiny or something..."

"Resist? But Theresa, I know the Shanyat family's obsession better than any of you. Although Ludwig is not my opponent, [Black Abyss] is my fellow clansman. If I take Kiana and escape from fate, I will face the pursuit of my relatives, and I can't hide for too long. Besides... the family's mission cannot be shaken."

Theresa held her forehead with her hand. She had forgotten that all the Shaniyat family members would become extremely stubborn when it came to matters related to Lucifer, even Cecilia, who seemed the most normal, was no exception.

"Perhaps you may not understand this, but for us, this is not only the obsession of our family for thousands of years, but also the only conclusion we have drawn from our history of fighting against the Collapse over these thousands of years." Cecilia turned her gaze to the stunned Yulandel, "For thousands of years, Shaniyat has fought against the Collapse, and has experienced three declines and a crisis of near extinction. Although we finally persevered, no one can guarantee that we can hold on next time."

No one knows the horror of Honkai better than Shaniyat, who stands on the front line against Honkai.

"That being said, Kiana is my daughter after all. I can't feel sad about it." Cecilia sighed and said, "I even had some sinful thoughts because of this... Forget it, Theresa, please introduce Miss Bianca to me. Is she your adopted daughter?"

Although she looked a little familiar and had an inexplicable sense of intimacy, Cecilia really didn't think of Yulandel as her own daughter.

His daughter inherited his and Siegfried's white hair, but this Miss Bianca has blonde hair.

After all, Theresa was so young that it was unrealistic for her to have a child. In addition, Kiana was already a few years old when she sacrificed herself, and Bianca looked almost the same age as her own daughter, so Cecilia judged that this should be Theresa's adopted daughter.

Otherwise, why would Theresa call her over?

The corner of Yulandel's eye twitched, and she was suddenly overwhelmed with emotions. Now her mother was right in front of her, but she didn't recognize her at first, and she didn't recognize her either.

She had thought that if she could meet Cecilia one day, she would have a lot to say, but now, she didn't know what to say.

Finally, It was Theresa who broke the silence and said in a somewhat bitter voice: "Cecilia, Bianca... is your biological daughter, the original Kiana Kaslana."

Cecilia's eyes widened. She stood up, walked in front of Yulandel, and looked at the girl in front of her carefully. She knew that Theresa would not lie to her and had no reason to lie to her. The intimacy she felt when she first saw Yulandel, everything pointed to the fact that the girl in front of her was really her daughter.

But... did Kiana dye her hair? And why did she change her name to Bianca?

Cecilia figured out some things at that moment. That is, not long after Kiana was born, Otto asked her if she wanted to create a clone based on Kiana to replace the responsibilities of the container that should have been undertaken by Kiana. It must be admitted that Cecilia was really moved at that time.

However, Kiana was too young at the time and was not suitable for any experiments, and Cecilia was also opposed to the idea of ​​cloning. Theresa was her good friend and also a clone, so she was hesitant about it until the second great collapse occurred.

Suddenly, Cecilia felt as if she understood why Theresa's expression became indescribable when Siegfried was mentioned, because the responsibility that Kiana would have to bear in the end would probably be unacceptable to Siegfried in any way, and if the clone replacement route was adopted, it would be necessary to collect necessary data on Kiana... This was certainly not a big problem for her, because she had gone through the same thing when she was a child, or in other words, even her cousin Maria and other Shaniyat with pure blood had experienced some large and small experiments when they were young.

This is really nothing for the Shaniat family, but for Siegfried, it might be...

Before he sacrificed himself, Ludwig had hinted to him that the Shanyat family was very dissatisfied with Siegfried's careless character, and Maria showed her dislike for Siegfried on her face. Especially after Skyrim leaked the news that Siegfried had touched the buttocks of all the Skyrim Valkyries, Maria came to him every day to tell her how unreliable Siegfried was and suggested that they divorce him immediately.

Although she finally asked Ludwig to investigate the matter, and found out that the rumor came from her team member Shigure Kirara, Cecilia was very nervous for a while.

This was also a reflection of the entire destiny's attitude towards Siegfried at the time. Cecilia wanted to help Siegfried change other people's impression of him, but she didn't have time...

In contrast, Siegfried also disliked the Shaniat family, especially Ludwig. Siegfried had mentioned to her more than once about Ludwig's disgusting and cold-blooded way of speaking at his aunt's funeral when he was a child.

She also corrected that it was not Ludwig's original intention. For Ludwig, who grew up under the strict training methods of [Black Abyss] and was originally indifferent by nature, he had just begun to gradually understand the emotions of ordinary people under the influence of Elena during that period of time. Elena's death was also a very sad thing for Ludwig.

But Siegfried still found it hard to accept this. He believed that a person should cry when he should cry and laugh when he should laugh, instead of always pretending to be expressionless in front of others.

At that time, Cecilia knew that Siegfried's misunderstanding of the Shaniat family might not be corrected.

She did not deny Siegfried's statement, but... [Black Abyss] could not shed tears, and their expression of emotions might really be worse than that of a young child.

She wanted to tell Siegfried about this, but she was afraid that she would make things worse by explaining it. Moreover, her father had personally discussed the matter of the Black Abyss with her and told her that she must not tell Siegfried about it. This was the condition for the family to recognize her marriage to Siegfried.

The Shaniyat family never acknowledged Siegfried and did not allow Siegfried to access family secrets.

Caught between her family and her lover, Cecilia was really torn.

When Cecilia decided to marry Siegfried, she thought she would encounter a lot of resistance, but she never thought it would be so great.

She also asked Maria why the Shaniyat family didn't like Siegfried, and why the people of Destiny were unwilling to accept Siegfried.

Maria said helplessly, "Sister, you didn't see how that guy looked every time he came back from a mission with Skyfire. Yes, you think he is very confident and a qualified warrior, but what was he doing a year ago? A year ago, he was just a gangster-like guy. He only trained for a year and trampled on everyone's efforts. Who do you think would like him?"

Cecilia didn't understand: "But, he trained from an ordinary person with no foundation to a warrior comparable to an S-class Valkyrie in just one year. Shouldn't he be admired?"

Maria rolled her eyes and said, "My Saint Sister, you are really a little naive. Is he considered an ordinary person? The Kaslana family's bloodline is there. His achievements belong not only to him, but also to Kaslana. He has achieved all this in a year. Does it have any other meaning other than telling others that 'no matter how hard you try, you can't beat me who has family bloodline'? Only the people of the three major families will be more accepting than others, but it's not much better."

The future possibilities of ordinary people and those from the three major families in fighting the Honkai are completely different. Everyone knows this, but... Siegfried's past combined with his final results are indeed difficult for ordinary people who train hard.

In fact, except for Siegfried, the Shaniat family and the Kaslana family also started training since childhood. This was acceptable to others, but Siegfried was really...

What that brings is not admiration, but frustration that one's own efforts are worthless in the face of other people's talents and bloodlines.

In order to enter the Destiny Airport and become a combat force of the headquarters, the Destiny Valkyries at that time went through many selections and brushed shoulders with death on the battlefield for many times before they were finally recognized and entered the Destiny Airport. But what about Siegfried? He was just a gangster before, running around the world or playing games. For other Valkyries, how many of them could accept this?

Plus, the person he married was Cecilia, the idol of all the Valkyries of Fate. They would be willing to admit that Siegfried was the one who really saw a ghost.

Finally, Maria added, "Although I still don't like that guy, he was able to achieve this within a year. Some people in the family have changed their views on him. Maybe after a while, if he doesn't cause any trouble, the family will slowly accept him. After all, Kaslana and Shanyat have been allies for thousands of years, and he is also Kaslana. The family will not be too hard on Kaslana."

So Cecilia has been working hard to change Siegfried's image in the eyes of the Shaniat family, and often takes Siegfried on missions to fight the Honkai, until...

At the end of the Second Great Collapse, before she was about to sacrifice herself, she thought that Siegfried might cause trouble after her death, so before she went into battle, she specifically asked Otto to take care of Kiana and Siegfried.

It’s just… Otto’s reply at that time was: “Don’t worry, Kiana is a child who will grow up under everyone’s attention. Of course I will take good care of her.”

There is no mention of Siegfried at all.

Back to the present, Cecilia has guessed that Siegfried is probably in trouble again, and the trouble may be quite big.

"Bianca, and Theresa, please tell me everything that happened over the years. I think... I should be able to accept it." Cecilia said.

Although she didn't know what trouble Siegfried had gotten into, she still remembered that her ancestor had been quite caring towards her. If possible, perhaps she could go to her ancestor and ask for mercy?

Chapter 185: Kiana: ???

"So... after I died, when Kiana, no... when Bianca was eight years old, Siegfried took you into the Sky Harbor and snatched your sister away..."

"No, this is actually also my responsibility." Youlandel still tried to save face for her unreliable father in front of her biological mother, "I promised my father to participate in this matter..."

"Is this something he can agree to if you agree to it?" Cecilia's voice began to become a little stern. "Even Shaniyat wouldn't dare to let an eight-year-old child go to Tianming Airport to conduct an intrusion operation. What's more, you haven't even received the corresponding training at Shaniyat's house before that... That's not a reason for you to say that he can take you there if you agree to it. That's Tianming Airport, Tianming's headquarters, not an amusement park."

Yulandel was speechless and could only look to Theresa for help.

At this time, Theresa didn't want to say a word. She saw with her own eyes that when Cecilia listened to her describing the events of those years, her expression changed from a slight frown at first, to a frown later, and finally to a blank expression.

She was very sure that Cecilia was really angry now.

Cecilia may have realized that she might have lost her composure. After taking a deep breath, she continued, "So, when you were escaping, the Shanyat family must have come after you. Theresa, tell me, how many people in the family were injured?"

Before, Theresa only mentioned that Siegfried brought Yulandel into the Skyward Journey and then escaped and was shot down, but she did not explain the situation on the Skyward Journey side. However, Cecilia did not believe that there were no casualties in the Shaniyatt family, because she also knew the importance of Yulandel to the Shaniyatt family. If she was taken away, the Shaniyatt family would definitely chase after Siegfried.

"... Four injured, and... one dead..." Theresa whispered, "The four injured Shaniyat Valkyries also retired afterwards..."

Cecilia held her brows tightly. Four were injured and one died. If they died on the battlefield, it would be understandable. However, they were...

As the Saint of Shaniyat, she grew up under the training of the Shaniyat family and knew all the front-line Valkyries of the Shaniyat family because they trained and grew up together. She also served as an instructor and taught the later Valkyries of the Shaniyat family.

"We are all children of Lucifer, descendants of the dawn. We are connected by blood, and we carry the world on our shoulders."

All members of the Shanniyat family remember this family motto in mind. Even the first sentence a newborn baby learns is this. Therefore, among the three major families, the Shanniyat family has the strongest cohesion.

Although in a sense Shaniyat's Ten Commandments family precepts eventually led to the Shaniyat family's fanatical belief...but this may be exactly what Mavis Shaniyat, who formulated these family precepts, wanted to achieve.

Now Theresa told Cecilia that after her death, her husband broke with the Shanyatid family, broke into the Sky Harbor with his daughter and had a firefight with the Shanyatid family, which eventually resulted in one death and four disabled people in the Shanyatid family. This was very painful and infuriating for her who loved Siegfried, and the anger of the other members of the Shanyatid family can be imagined.

Just for this reason, Cecilia did not expect Lucifer to show mercy. Even if Lucifer was willing to show mercy, the other members of the Shaniyat family would never forgive Siegfried.

Cecilia sighed deeply, and then continued as if she was very tired: "After that, Bianca was taken back to her destiny, and her memory was sealed by Lucifer's ancestor. As a student of the bishop in the orphanage, she changed her name and continued to live. And the sister who was taken away by you, Siegfried gave her the name Kiana...Okay, then tell me, is Kiana doing well? Did he take good care of Kiana?"

She thought of it as Siegfried's atonement, treating Kiana as his second daughter in order to make up for his guilt towards Bianca. As for the rest, she had given up thinking about it.

Theresa was even more nervous. Before Cecilia was resurrected, she had often thought that if there came a day she would tell Cecilia everything. Now that Cecilia was really resurrected, she couldn't open her mouth.

She was really afraid that Cecilia, who was still in a weak state, would lie down again after hearing this, or perhaps she didn't want to see Cecilia's uncomfortable expression.

How would she explain to Cecilia about how Siegfried raised the child?

Kiana kept silent about many things that happened during that period. She wanted to ask Kiana but she wouldn't tell her. Moreover, when Kiana was twelve years old, Siegfried left Kiana again. Although the reason was to prevent Kiana from awakening again and becoming the Herrscher of the Void, the question is...does a twelve-year-old child have to survive alone at that time?

The Shanyiats don’t play like this, right?

No, this may have hurt Shaniyat a bit. It is true that their style is fanatical and inhumane, but it is also true that they are united internally. Young children all emphasize collective action and cooperation, and will not be allowed to survive alone.

After thinking for a long time, Theresa turned her gaze to Yulandel again, and her meaning was very clear: You are her sister, she has more to say to you, so you go and say it.

Yulandel: "..."

Is there a possibility that she is also having difficulty tensing?

Let her speak? How would she explain to her own mother? Would she explain to her own mother that Kiana didn't even know she had a sister before the Battle of Destiny? Would she say that when Kiana talked to her about Siegfried, she racked her brains to say something good about him but couldn't come up with a few words?

Yulandel didn't know much about how Kiana and Siegfried lived in the past, but she knew very well how poor her own father's ability to raise a child was. She even wanted to muster up the courage to ask Lucifer about his evaluation of Siegfried. As a result, Lucifer asked back: "Do you know when she was given the name 'Kiana'?"

"Is it...after the plane made an emergency landing and she woke up?"

"It was on her eleventh birthday."

Yulandel didn't know what to say at that time. If Kiana's name from beginning to end was only "Kiana", then what did Siegfried call her in the three years before she was eleven? How did he raise her?

So how should I explain this to my mother?

Cecilia saw the difficulties faced by Theresa and Yulandel, and she suddenly felt that maybe, perhaps, probably... her psychological endurance seemed not as strong as she thought at first.

No, what's the meaning of both of you being so indescribable? Siegfried gave the girl the name Kiana, didn't he even take good care of that girl?

Cecilia took a deep breath again and tried to make her tone gentler: "Theresa, and Bianca, please tell me everything that happened next, including the relationship between the Shaniyat family and the Kaslana family, and Kiana's experience over the years."

Theresa: "..."

It's over, Cecilia is really angry.

the other side.

"The approximate losses have been calculated. All we can say is that... the Herrscher may not have intended to destroy Saint Freya from the beginning, to destroy this [home] that is so precious to her. Apart from some casualties related to anti-entropy, others were just frightened. Of course... the erosion of imaginary numbers is inevitable, but compared to the casualties caused by the general Honkai outbreak, the casualties of Saint Freya can be considered a miracle." Rita came to Kiana with the results of Alvette's calculations and said, "Lady Kiana, do you still have any clues about the whereabouts of the Herrscher core?"

Kiana opened her eyes and stopped her search for the remnants of the imaginary network around Saint Freya. She shook her head with a serious look and said, "I'm sorry, Rita. Even though I used the authority of the Herrscher of the Void to search the remnants of the imaginary network in the imaginary space, I still couldn't find the Herrscher core of the Herrscher of the Rock... But I am sure that the absurdism of the present world has been completely eliminated this time."

Rita frowned slightly when she heard this. Not recovering the Herrscher Core of the Stone Herrscher was no small matter, but she was indeed not as knowledgeable as Kiana about the Herrscher's characteristics and the Void Tree Divine Skeleton, so in this regard she completely listened to Kiana's views and opinions.

Rita asked, "So... Lady Kiana, in your opinion, what is the reason for this situation?"

Kiana thought for a moment and gave her answer: "Based on my current knowledge, there are two possibilities. One possibility is that when Absurdism was defeated by me, the imaginary network was destroyed along with Absurdism. The core of the Herrscher of the Rock, which had been completely symbiotic with Absurdism, also fell deeper into the imaginary space along with the collapse of the imaginary network. That's why I couldn't track down the Herrscher's core in a short period of time."

"That's a very reasonable explanation...what about the second reason?" Rita asked again.

"The second reason... that one might be even worse than the first one." Kiana frowned and said, "Rita, before explaining the second possibility, I need to tell you one thing, that is, the absurdism that has appeared during this period is actually the same individual."

"The same individual?" Rita was a little surprised. "But its form, authority, and some properties change every time it appears, don't they?"

"That's the result of it becoming real from the imaginary world. In essence, our crusade against absurdism is actually to destroy the body it built in the intrinsic world, and it has not caused any substantial damage to its body in the imaginary world." Kiana said, "This is what I mean by a worse situation. I'm worried that the Herrscher of Stone and absurdism will be more deeply integrated than I expected. Although absurdism has been defeated this time, the Herrscher Core of Stone has also been completely absorbed and swallowed up by absurdism and has become a part of absurdism. In this way, all our searches for the Herrscher Core will not only become useless, but the absurdism we will face in the future will be terrifying beyond imagination."

Rita's expression also became serious. "In that case, we must also speed up the search for the Herrscher Core and confirm the status of the Herrscher Core of Stone as soon as possible. We must also speed up the further research and positioning of Absurdism and strive to completely defeat it in the imaginary world before it becomes stronger."

It's not that simple... That thing is essentially Feng's 50,000 years of memory, an existence even older than the history of modern human civilization. It's not something that can be completely defeated by words.

Kiana smiled bitterly in her heart, but said, "Don't worry, World Serpent has also been stepping up its research on absurdism. I believe there will be results."

Rita looked at Kiana, and after a long while she smiled and said, "With your words, Rita can rest assured."

"Huh?" Kiana looked at Rita in confusion.

Rita smiled and said, "Because when you said that, Lady Kiana, although your tone was a little heavy, you still exuded a sense of confidence. This confidence is not just confidence in your own abilities... Are you still trusting someone?"

Kiana: "..."

Can Rita read minds?

How should I put it? Because she knew Feng would cover it for her, she was also planning to ask Feng about absurdism after this crusade was completely over, and tell him about her performance in this crusade.

Hmm... there shouldn't be a need for Teacher Gray to tell me about this kind of thing, right?

Tsk, I always feel that Teacher Grayshu has some ulterior motives...

Rita looked at Kiana's embarrassed expression at first because her thoughts were exposed, then she looked a little calculating, and then she looked a little depressed and suspicious...
