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

No, could it be because of the influence of the Ruler of Origin?

Klein was thinking this in her heart, and the next moment, a hand wrapped in Honkai energy pierced through her chest.

"Go...die?" Xilin looked at her hand in shock. There was no blood at all, and Klein was still looking at her expressionlessly. What he held in his hand...was just a handful of spare parts?

She had become a strong person, so she couldn't bear to hear what Klein said.

Furious, Xilin didn't care about anything else and just wanted to dig out Klein's heart in front of her as punishment. However, Klein's body seemed... different from what she imagined?

What...is this?

She looked at Klein, whose expression remained unchanged throughout the whole process. She only said, "I hope you can do better than you are doing now in the future."

After saying that, Klein collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, with parts falling all over the floor, leaving behind a confused Xilin.

February 2000, Tianming Airport.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, we have confirmed that the Tower of Babylon has lost contact with us. Before the contact was lost, we received news that researchers began to disappear one after another." Amber said to the blond man in front of him, "And... combined with the data sent back before and our monitoring of the Tower of Babylon, we have reason to believe that a pseudo-hersr may have been born there, or even a hersr."

Otto gently shook the red wine glass in his hand, his eyes never leaving the red wine in the glass. After a while, he chuckled and said, "I see. Let Theresa and Patrick from the Snow Wolf Team investigate."

Amber hesitated for a moment and then said, "But...if a Herrscher is born, can Lady Theresa and Patrick, an S-class Valkyrie and an A-class Valkyrie, really handle it?"

Otto didn't seem to care. He just said, "Maybe, there will be some unexpected friends who can help you along the way."

Amber was confused. An unexpected friend? Could it be Anti-Entropy? However, even Theresa didn't know the content of the Siberian experiment. Where did Anti-Entropy get the information?

However, since the bishop said so, she did it.

Although Theresa's combat power can indeed be rated as an S-class Valkyrie, she is sometimes too soft-hearted. Patrick is an A-class Valkyrie from the Intelligence Department, and her strengths are intelligence analysis and information processing. Such a combination is reasonable, but Amber doesn't understand why the bishop doesn't mobilize another Valkyrie with the strongest comprehensive ability in the Snow Wolf Team, deputy captain Desdobia.

The Snow Wolf Squad is a Valkyrie assault team formed by Otto's order in 1996. It can almost be said that it has gathered the most elite Valkyrie forces currently available in Destiny. There are seven members in total. The captain is Cecilia Shaniyat, an S-class Valkyrie of Destiny, and the deputy captain is Desdobia, the top A-class Valkyrie.

In fact, Amber thought there was nothing wrong with giving Desdobia an S-level Valkyrie rating, but Desdobia herself didn't seem interested in it, and the bishop didn't seem to have thought about it at all.

However, now that Cecilia is married and pregnant, and just gave birth to her daughter Kiana not long ago, her condition has not fully recovered and it is not suitable for her to return to the battlefield. Therefore, in the end, Desdobia temporarily took over the position of captain.

Speaking of the Snow Wolf Squad, everyone in it is somewhat different from normal people. For example, the Chaos Scion Shub-Niggurath, who always came back fine even though Destiny had judged her dead countless times. Or the vice-captain Destobia, who is rumored to be able to use super powers like telekinesis? And she has a boyfriend who has never shown up.

Amber stopped thinking and left the bishop's office directly. She always just conveyed Otto's instructions and didn't need to think about other things.

After Amber left, Otto's eyes moved away from the red wine glass in his hand. He looked out the office window, his eyes becoming distant and deep.

Shortly after this, at Cecilia's home.

"Is that so? The bishop's arrangement is not without reason." Cecilia held Kiana in her arms and looked at the blonde girl in front of her with a gentle smile. "Besides, this is just an investigation. Even if the opponent is really a Herrscher, judging by the ability of Judas in Theresa's hand, even if Theresa and Patrick can't defeat the Herrscher, they can still escape unscathed. At that time, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to take care of Theresa, Desdobia."

Desdobia looked at Cecilia with complicated eyes, then shifted her gaze to Kiana in her arms and said, "Kiana is worthy of being your daughter. She was so cute when she was a child. She will definitely be a beautiful girl in the future, right? By then, Destiny will have another beautiful and capable S-rank Valkyrie."

Cecilia smiled, she looked down at the restless Kiana in her arms, and said, "Everyone says so, but... as a mother, I still hope that my child can grow up like an ordinary person."

"I think it's difficult." Desdobia's expression became more complicated.

Cecilia saw Desdobia's expression and sighed softly. She smiled helplessly and said, "I know that as a member of the Shaniyat family, Kiana's future is destined to be different from that of other ordinary people. As a member of the Shaniyat family of the gods, it is our mission to fight against Honkai. What's more... she is the daughter of Siegfried and me..."

No, there are far more people paying attention to Kiana than you think. What they care about is not the bloodline from Kaslana in Kiana, but the holy blood of Shaniyat in her body... In the eyes of some people, Kiana may even be just a container.

Her future may really not depend on herself.

Desdobia smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Her gaze shifted towards the direction of Siberia. She knew that those people must have been planning something in secret, but even if she knew, she couldn't do anything. Moreover, after that unforgettable tragedy, she was no longer the same person she used to be.

After witnessing the division, she also looked forward to the return of [Divine Shadow], because this also meant that the division would end and Ah Mo could finally come back from there.

Interlude: The Second Great Collapse (Part 2)

"What price are you willing to pay for Kallen Kaslana's resurrection?"

"Everything, yes...everything I can have and touch!"

……

"No...you are not allowed to go..."

The Herrscher of Reason raised his hand with all his strength, trying to reach out to the dragon that was flying away in his blurred vision. His ability had already reached its limit. If it weren't for the sudden attack from the blond man wearing a clown mask standing next to him, he would have instinctively defeated the Second Herrscher who had not yet fully awakened...

The moment the blond man made his move, he already knew the other party's identity. He felt unbelievable, but was also filled with helplessness and bitterness.

What he recalled was that this person had done the same thing decades ago.

But even though the other party's purpose at this moment was likely to kill him completely, Walter still tried to use his last bit of strength to keep the Second Herrscher.

It's a pity...he has reached his limit.

"Otto..." Walter whispered this annoying name before losing consciousness.

"Walter Yang, or should I call you Joachim? The leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance who has been against destiny for decades... It's really sad that you will end up like this." Otto walked to Walter who fainted due to excessive power consumption, and the golden light in his hand gathered into the shape of a pistol, "I will accept the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Reason..."

"What do you want to do?!"

A loud shout was heard, and Otto looked in the direction of the sound. Without thinking, he saw a white-haired man gasping for breath standing not far away, with a pistol pointed at him, warning him with his actions that if he made any more moves, the white-haired man would definitely shoot first to stop him.

"Siegfried Kaslana... that's not a surprise."

The weapon in Siegfried's hand is the Seventh God's Key, the Destruction Key, Judgment of Heavenly Fire, which has been passed down from generation to generation in the Kaslana family. Unfortunately, a long, long time ago, the people of the Kaslana family were no longer able to use the greatsword form of Judgment of Heavenly Fire. Once the greatsword form is used, the result is the mutual demise of both oneself and the enemy.

Almost every generation of the head of the Kaslana family died from the side effects of the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire. However, due to some special reasons, the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire can only be used by members of the Kaslana family. If other people use it, in most cases they cannot even use the dual-gun form with reduced output power.

This is just the same as the Black Abyss and White Flower that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Shaniyat family. However, the Shaniyat family does not attach much importance to the right to use the Black Abyss and White Flower. They only use it if they are capable. The previous user of the Black Abyss and White Flower, Leanna Brigantia, was not from the Shaniyat family.

Otto calculated the time it took Siegfried to bring Theresa back to the Schicksal Base for treatment after the encounter with Ashwa and after Theresa was severely injured by the Second Herrscher. With Siegfried's personality and ability, he could indeed get here during the time when Walter was fighting the Second Herrscher.

"There should be no conflict of interest between us. What's more, Anti-Entropy and Destiny are hostile to each other. Are you sure you want to protect your enemy?" Otto said in a flat tone.

"Of course I know the relationship between Anti-Entropy and Destiny, but I also know that in this battle against the Second Herrscher, we are allies. If it weren't for the Anti-Entropy leader holding back the Second Herrscher, we would have suffered greater casualties!" Siegfried almost gnashed his teeth as he said this. Although his mind was often straightforward, as inherited from the Kaslana family, he was not blind. On the way here, he saw Benares flying away, and the seriously injured Walter and the blond clown here. How could he not know what happened?

He felt very incomprehensible, and anger surged in his heart. He really wanted to question the clown in front of him, why did he do this!The Second Herrscher has not yet fully awakened, this is an excellent opportunity!

And this clown man let the Second Herrscher go!

"Hmph... Then, if you defeat the Second Herrscher, who will own her Herrscher Core? Will it belong to the Destiny behind you, or will it belong to Anti-Entropy, who will remain the enemy after this?" Otto's tone was still calm. The current situation was still under his control. He knew very well that from the moment Siegfried appeared, he could not kill Walter and seize the Herrscher Core of Reason.

He quickly formulated a new plan in his mind. All the conversations now were just delaying time. The longer the time, the longer Walter would need to recover, and the more favorable the situation would be for him.

As for Siegfried... Otto was confident that he could kill Siegfried here, but his plan required Siegfried's presence, so he could not kill Siegfried. Moreover, given Siegfried's character, even if he seriously injured him, Siegfried would rather die than retreat and protect Walter.

Siegfried was taken aback by Otto's words. He couldn't believe it. He somewhat guessed the identity of the clown, but... just because of the core issue of the Herrscher?

Of course this is not the case.

Otto sneered in his heart, his eyes wandering around vaguely. If he had not taken action just now, those people would definitely have taken action. Before the Second Herrscher fully awakened, they would not let anyone kill the Second Herrscher, even if they would violate the restraint of non-interference in civilization between each other.

He was also very clear that up to now, the cooperation between Tianming, no, it should be said that his cooperation with them was based on his value to them. If Anti-Entropy really succeeded in obtaining the Herrscher Core of the Second Herrscher, no matter to what extent Anti-Entropy could use the Herrscher Core of the Second Herrscher, his value to them would be reduced.

[Dawn] will eventually come, but who assists in the return of dawn is a very important matter.

Besides, some of them could even be said to be his "kind" right? Five hundred years of long-cherished wish, fifty thousand years of obsession... If he put himself in their shoes, he would do the same thing.

As for what kind of disaster the complete awakening of the Second Herrscher will bring to the world, it has nothing to do with him. Because they need the Second Herrscher, they will be responsible for covering the bottom line in the end.

Then can't you just do something about it? Since someone is backing you up, as long as you don't go too far and lower your own value, you can spend as much as you want, right?

This could be considered as some kind of exchange of interests. He agreed and arranged for Klein to enter the Tower of Babylon to participate in the Herrscher experiment, and she would choose to turn a blind eye to some of his small actions in this incident. As for the other people, whether they knew about it or not was another matter.

The heroes of the past have their own ideas, and even in the paradise of the past where heroes and fallen angels gather, they can act for the same goal, but the methods they adopt are inconsistent and they may even hide things from each other. After all, there have been precedents of civil wars.

The ancestor of the Kaslana family who insisted on carrying out a plan that was said to be terrible a thousand years ago is still calm in the quantum sea.

Although he was just an outsider, based on his experience of entering the paradise of the afterlife in order to meet the phantom left by Lucifer, he was afraid that before the awakening of the Second Herrscher, the girl who cooperated with him never told the plan to others, and only chose to reveal it after it was done.

From what he understood, things had come to this point, and no matter how much others disagreed, they would not do anything. They would unite their attitude to ensure that the Second Herrscher could fully awaken, thus opening up the path connecting time and reality.

However, if she did so, the attitude of the two people who existed beside her as a constraint in opposition to her would also become a problem.

But that was not important. He got an answer in the paradise, but it was an illusory answer. Now, he also had such an opportunity. With the help of their plan, he could get a chance to talk with the real ancestor of the Shaniyat family, the last Ruler of the previous civilization and the first Ruler of the current civilization.

Even according to his calculations, he would almost certainly forget the content of the conversation after it.

Of course, the premise of all this is that he can only help but not interfere. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the consequences may be very serious, so serious that even fate and anti-entropy cannot bear it...

"To some extent, you are also...very self-aware?"

This is what Lucifer in Paradise said about him.

He is indeed very self-aware. He knows what he wants, what he is doing and where it will lead. Therefore, he never denies that he is a villain, a clown.

Although he had witnessed the glory of the previous era and knew about the unrecorded history of the past, he would not place all his bets on one thing. Lucifer's power might indeed be able to revive Kallen, but what if the probability was one in ten thousand and it couldn't or might fail?

He also needs to prepare some other means, right?

That's why he invited the first acting Herrscher Walter Joyce after he was born decades ago, hoping to recruit him under his command. Unfortunately, he was rejected.

He needed a Herrscher who could obey his orders, but the anti-entropy created by Walter Joyce and others in the North American branch was an uncontrollable existence for him, so he wanted to destroy Joyce and seize the Herrscher core of the First Herrscher.

Alas... there are always unexpected things. I didn't expect that Leanna, whose whole body had been modified and a backdoor was left by me, would break free from my restraints and forcibly interrupt my remote control. Moreover, before I recovered the core of the Herrscher of Reason, Joyce entrusted it to Joachim.

It is impossible to expect their help in this regard, as they are not interested in the affairs among civilized humans themselves.

Their ultimate goal is to defeat the Honkai and allow human civilization to survive. In the process, they don't care whether the right to speak for human civilization belongs to Anti-Entropy or Destiny. Unless Anti-Entropy and Destiny completely break off a civil war that threatens the survival of mankind, and then the top leaders of both sides are cleared out before the civil war begins.

Therefore, Otto was somewhat dissatisfied with the cooperation between Siegfried and Anti-Entropy. What Siegfried did was his own business, but the Herrscher Core of the Second Herrscher must not be handed over to Anti-Entropy, as that would become the key to his future cooperation with them.

Siegfried's actions somewhat touched Otto's sore spot.

He could tolerate many things, even if someone spit on his face he would not take it seriously, but when it came to resurrecting Kallen, he would not allow any possibility of mistakes.

"So... I have to teach you a lesson, so that you can know your limits, lest the straightforward character of the Kaslana family gets in my way again." The golden light in Otto's hand surged, forming a cross with a chain gun behind him.

"Judas?" Siegfried was stunned, but he soon realized that the Judas in front of him was not the one in Theresa's hand, but a replica. If he thought about it this way, the gun in the clown's hand... was it really a replica of the Holy Fire Judgement? This ability is really similar to the ability of the Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader...

At the same time, realizing that the other party was very likely not going to let Walter go, Siegfried took a deep breath and clenched the Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire in his hand.

The battle is about to break out.

And on the other side.

Sirin, who was brought to the back of the moon by Benares, discovered a huge complex of buildings built on the back of the moon. The place was filled with terrifying Honkai energy. Even though 50,000 years had passed, there was still space distortion left over from the battle 50,000 years ago.

Between the ruined thrones, she saw "God".

It was because of the guidance and calling of "God" that she came here.

"Just like that strange woman said, I have not fully released my true power, and the God thinks so too, so he called me here." Xilin thought so in her heart. Benares crawled on the moon, and she walked towards the "God" on the throne.

The "God" stretched out his hand, and she half-knelt on the ground, as if receiving a coronation.

During the time of gaining power, she learned the secret hidden on the back of the moon. In that distant previous civilization, an apostle of God betrayed "God" and launched a large-scale rebellion. They started a battle, and in this battle, "God" was destroyed by the rebellious fallen angels seven times, but "God" is immortal, so the rebellion of the fallen angels still ended in failure. The humans that the fallen angel placed his hopes on did not help him, and their stupidity made them fail in the end.

And that battle also caused part of the power of "God" to be sealed under the surface of the moon.

And now, this power belongs to her.

The Ruler of the Void, fully awakened!

"This is the knowledge of 'God', the power of 'God'! With this power, I can completely destroy those ugly humans! Let that fallen angel see that everything he does is meaningless!"

The power of the Herrscher vibrated the sub-space, and the passage between imaginary numbers and reality began to open up.

Just as Xilin was feeling proud, the surrounding scenery turned into a desert.

"Huh? Where is this?" Xilin observed the surrounding environment. How was she suddenly pulled here?

Suddenly, she sensed another presence here. She turned her head and saw a silver-haired young man standing opposite her with an expressionless face.

"Oh, are you the rebellious fallen angel? Ah, I understand. You are just a remnant of him, trying to stop me from gaining the power of 'God'. But, it's too late!"

As Xilin said this, she was about to use her newly acquired strength to attack the young man, but the young man just raised his hand...

Xilin suddenly opened her eyes. Her heart was beating violently at this moment. She didn't know what had just happened, but she felt as if someone had killed her instantly without her having time to resist... Did she forget something?

"Never mind, it's probably just a side effect of using my power..."

She hadn't noticed that the throne of "God" behind her had collapsed, and her connection with "God" had been severed.

Interlude: The Second Great Collapse (Part 2)

In Xilin's spiritual world.

Otto stood in front of a golden door. He knew very well what was behind the door. He could even feel that his soul, which had been like a stagnant pool of water for fifty thousand years, was shaking at this moment.

As [Infinity] expected, in response to the wish of [True Self], after the Second Herrscher fully awakened, under the power of the Vibrating Subspace, the door that bound time appeared.
