Collapse, I save everything alone

Ji Zi noticed the change in her expression and asked curiously.

The white-haired girl shook her head and responded:

"Nothing, well, that's it. Enroll these two children into the academy. Later... I will go and talk to them one by one."

Chapter 15 Maid

"……I see."

After learning from Yae Sakura what happened after he fainted, Mingyu also understood why he was brought aboard the Hyperion.

Because he blocked that batch of Titan mechas, and the Destiny Squad that arrived to scout the area, Cocolia's plan to continue to recover the Herrscher of Thunder was blocked.

Well, although we haven't seen her yet, Mingyu estimates that Bronya should have also sneaked in as a survivor.

Although her aptitude in Honkai energy is far inferior to Kiana and Mei, compared to the other two, she has more or less undergone long-term training from Cocolia, so naturally she is still qualified to study at St. Freya Academy.

However, Mingyu knew that the old witch Cocolia would never give up just because of this failure.

From his impression alone, this fellow with blood on his hands will continue to try more methods to obtain the power of the Herrscher in the future.

Including but not limited to sending Joyce series clones to attack St. Freya Academy in an attempt to capture Mei, planning to use the core of the Herrscher of Death in Singapore to recreate the tragedy of Changkong City, and... taking away the Gem of Desire from Wendy.

It can be said that most of the early events were caused by this guy.

On the contrary, Otto, who was the mastermind behind the scenes, did almost nothing evil during his time as a student at St. Freya's Academy among the three great families.

After all, that man just hopes that Kiana can live as happily as possible in the academy. The deeper her feelings for the people around her, the more likely it is that the obedient Herrscher of the Void that he wants to create will appear when the Queen arrives.

So, right now, there is no need to worry too much about what Otto will do...

Mingyu pondered.

Of course, this is just the general information he knows. As for what the future will be like, it is impossible to make a complete conclusion now.

In short, now that we have boarded Hyperion’s pirate ship, it shouldn’t be difficult to enter St. Freya’s Academy.

Mingyu recalled the ability he had acquired to control electricity and magnetism. He stretched out a finger with interest, trying to summon an electric current.

Unfortunately, the leaping electric light did not appear at his fingertips as expected.

Apparently, he was still in an overloaded state because of the electromagnetic cannon that had fired and destroyed the tactical mecha.

This situation can probably be called the "battery exhausted" state.

There is no other way. I can only wait until I have recovered and then study this ability carefully.

"By the way, Miss Sakura, what are your plans for the future?"

Mingyu looked at the pink-haired girl who was standing, or floating beside his bed.

Although the purpose was different, the witch did help him a lot.

"Mingyu, you are planning to go to the St. Freya Academy they mentioned, right? I...I think I should go there too."

Yaezakura hesitated for a moment and explained:

"Among the three people who came to rescue you and the other two girls this time, there is a white-haired girl... I care about her very much. From her, I can feel the aura of a close friend of mine."

If nothing unexpected happens, she was talking about Theresa. After all, that girl who never grows up has Kallen's blood flowing in her body.

Well, maybe that’s a good thing?

However, she might not be able to show her true face for the time being, after all, she is still in a relatively weak state.

Moreover, rashly appearing on this ship in the guise of a fox-eared priestess would inevitably cause a commotion.

"Anyway, you should just stay with me for now until you go to the academy."

As for what will happen when we get there, we will talk about it later.

After all, St. Freya's Academy is quite large... maybe Yaezakura will become a ghost story in the academy?

At this moment, Mingyu heard the sound of the door opening.

Yaezakura immediately dispersed her spirit and hid back in Mingyu's body.

...Who is coming?

Theresa? Himeko? Or Kiana or Mei...

Oh, because he was interrupted by those Titan mechas, he didn’t have the time to ask about Mei’s condition…

Just as Mingyu was thinking, an unexpected but familiar figure came into his sight.

A black silk maid uniform with rose accessories, short gray-gold hair, burgundy eyes, and an elegant yet polite smile.

The S-class Valkyrie of destiny, Rita Rossweisse!

How come she is here?

Mingyu is a question mark.

"You're awake, Mr. Mingyu."

Rita came to the bedside with a bowl of nutritious porridge.

"็ Hello Who are you……"

Mingyu asked, pretending to be confused.

The other party smiled slightly and replied with a faint smile:

"I'm just a maid who takes care of people. You can call me Rita."

...There are not many people who can withstand your care.

Mingyu secretly complained in his heart, and then said:

"Thank you, Miss Rita."

Unlike people like Himeko and Theresa who are purely from the Far East, and unlike warriors like Fu Hua who obey Otto's arrangements but have their own ideas, Rita basically represents the Destiny Headquarters, or Otto's will.

Therefore, her appearance here must be because of the intention of the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny.

Did she come here to investigate the situation of the Third Herrscher? Or did she come here to monitor Kiana's condition?

Or maybe... both?

"You are a little tired and need to rest. Please rest here before returning to St. Freya Academy."

Rita said politely.

"...St. Freya's Academy?"

Mingyu asked knowingly.

"It's a school that trains warriors to fight against the Honkai. The school's leader, Miss Theresa, is very fond of you."

Rita said with a smile:

"After all, a Herrscher-level Honkai energy signal was detected on you."

"..."

Mingyu thought about it and felt that the reason for the Honkai energy signal was probably because of Yae Sakura.

Although he is unable to exert his powers now, Feiyumaru was indeed a genuine Herrscher of Corrosion in the past, so it is normal that he can detect the same Honkai energy fluctuations as the Herrscher of Thunder.

In terms of ability, he even fired a powerful railgun in front of Hyperion.

Obviously, from an outsider's perspective, Mingyu probably has an inexplicable relationship with the Herrscher of Thunder in various senses.

So, Theresa is planning to include both herself and Mei under the scope of surveillance and education...

Wait, could it be that he will also have a bomb installed in his heart, the kind that will automatically explode upon detecting high-intensity Honkai energy?

Mingyu shook his head.

In short, although there seemed to be all kinds of wonderful misunderstandings, his plan to enter St. Freya's Academy was indeed half successful.

Just as Mingyu was thinking alone, a strange fragrance brought his consciousness back to reality.

Before, I was so busy finding ways to survive that I didn't think much about food.

Now that we are in a safe environment, people are always thinking about sex when they are well fed and warm...

"Rita still has some things to do, please enjoy your meal, Mr. Mingyu."

The dark-blond girl placed the nutritious porridge next to Mingyu's bed, then politely left.

Mingyu watched Rita leave before picking up the nutritious porridge on the bedside table.

He was thinking about the significance of Rita coming to his room specifically to talk to him.

——This meticulous Valkyrie never does anything unnecessary.

Because she had displayed peculiar abilities during the incident in Changkong City, she wanted to observe closely and collect information about herself?

Perhaps it was because of his Herrscher-like abilities that he caught Rita's attention.

While thinking, Mingyu subconsciously fed a mouthful of porridge into his mouth.

Wait, what kind of delicacy is this...? !

——I almost forgot that Rita is a top chef at the same level as Mei.

Really, really fragrant...

Chapter 16 Interlude Love = Curse

A few days later, in the Mediterranean Sea, high in the sky, at the headquarters of Tianming.

This giant floating island group located above the Mediterranean Sea is not only the administrative center of Tianming, but also the core research facility of the entire organization.

With the mission of fighting the collapse, it operates day after day without stopping.

Of course, at this stage, for the vast majority of ordinary people, they are still unaware of the existence of the so-called collapse.

All the Honkai disasters were tacitly explained away by Tianming and Anti-Entropy using the excuse of natural disasters.

Well, to some extent, this is indeed a natural disaster.

And in the center of this floating island, in the command room of the Bishop of Heaven's Fate—

"…The above is the intelligence report on the collapse of Changkong City, Your Excellency the Bishop."

A tall, dark-blonde woman reported to the other party what she had seen and heard.

She is none other than one of the current S-rank Valkyries, Rita Rossweisse.

With the mission given by the Bishop of Destiny, she rushed to Changkong City under the pretext of assisting the Far East Branch in dealing with the Herrscher incident.

This is a reasonable and legitimate reason that will not arouse anyone's suspicion.

She completed the mission of searching for survivors perfectly, just like every mission she had performed in the past.

However, what Theresa and the others didn't know was that Rita arrived in Changkong City much earlier than them.

Rita said methodically:

"I sneaked into the ME company to investigate. Although most of the operation records have been erased... I did find a trace that is enough to prove that this Honkai outbreak was not a natural occurrence, but a man-made disaster."

According to the residual data she investigated, a batch of devices containing high concentrations of Honkai energy were secretly transported from the ME Company to the interior of Senba Academy in the name of material support.

"Hehe... Is this a political power struggle within Anti-Entropy?"

The blond man slowly slid the screen in his hand, on which were displayed the high-level people of Anti-Entropy.

Among them, there are middle-aged men wearing glasses who look mature and steady, as well as scientists who look very young and have long been recorded in textbooks.

——Many of them are old acquaintances of his. They have clashed with each other many times over the long years. Therefore, Otto knows very well that these old acquaintances would never do such a thing.

After all, they are a group of true idealists.

Considering what happened not long ago, when ME company president Ryoma Raiden was sent to prison for economic embezzlement, the answer becomes clear.

The culprit who caused this collapse is——

The screen finally stopped on a blonde woman.

"It must be her, Kokolia, a woman from the Siberian military."
