A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

"This is the Observatory. It seems everyone has arrived safely. I'm really glad to see that. Furthermore, there's no problem with communication delays. It seems there won't be any major problems with cooperation."

The mysterious and sci-fi scene of the observatory was reflected in her eyes, and the kind, gentle and cute face shone brightly in front of her. When she saw Sera, Xilin became quiet as if she had found a backbone.

As for Shigure Kirara, she saw some nostalgic things in the picture. Although her face was childish, the tenderness that permeated her heart coincided with the person the Valkyrie was familiar with.

Her eyes were fixed on the girl in the picture, and a mixture of loss and hope emerged in her heart. In an instant, the subtle hallucination ended.

The same silver hair and blue eyes as Cecilia-sama, is it Kaslana? Such a recognizable appearance, there must be a connection.

"By the way, it looks like you have a new friend over there? Let me see, um~"

Thousands of miles away, Sera looked at the person she had some impression of on the projection in the large workshop, and called out her name with certainty.

"Ms. Shigure Kirara, huh? I mentioned you in Dan's report. I heard you're a skilled idol who can bring enthusiasm and energy to people through your singing. That's truly remarkable."

Sera's tone of voice and smile made people feel warm and refreshed. Even though she knew that something was wrong with this group of people, Shigure Kirara still couldn't feel much resentment towards a leader who looked like a child.

Hmm... isn't she the same as Theresa, who is actually very old but never grows up?

A disrespectful thought flashed through her mind, but Shigure Kirara maintained a calm expression and began to communicate with Sera.

"Thank you for the compliment, but this..."

"Just call me Sera. What's the matter, Miss Shigure Kirara?"

Looking at the girl with silver hair and blue eyes in front of her, Shi Yu Qiluo felt a more and more inexplicable sense of familiarity. The combination of her face and temperament always made her think of a ridiculous possibility.

Could it be...that Lady Cecilia has shrunk?

Well, that shouldn't be the case. Unless you've lost your memory, you wouldn't fail to recognize me. But this illusion of familiarity...

There must be some blood relationship!

So, in this case, the Second Herrscher has really turned over a new leaf?

Shigure Qiluo began to overthink things, and when she thought of Xilin's artificial but non-killing actions, she suddenly had a new idea, and unexpectedly she was able to connect all the facts she saw and lead to a beautiful possibility.

Thinking of this, Shigure Qiluo's mind suddenly calmed down and she returned to her previous peace.

263. What is Cecilia's fanaticism?

"Hello, Miss Sera."

Shigure Qiluo stood up from her chair and spoke in a serious tone, with an indescribable glint in her eyes.

That is the brilliance that only appears when a person is concentrating to the extreme, the compelling aura radiating from the inside out, so persistent that it makes the person being watched feel uncomfortable.

However, Sera didn't feel uncomfortable, she just thought that Miss Shigure Kirara was a little strange.

Why did she give me that look when we first met? Was she trying to confirm something? Or did she have some unique hobbies?

"I don't know, do you know the name Cecilia Chaniat?"

Shigure Kirara's emotional voice came out along with the changes in virtual light and shadow. Just when Sera wanted to give a straightforward answer, she saw Xilin glanced at Shigure Kirara.

Those expressive golden eyes contained a color that needed to be coordinated. Perhaps it seemed very abstract to others, but Sera could understand at a glance that Xilin was trying to get Sera to reach an agreement with her on the matter of Cecilia.

But, Xilin, what on earth were you doing over there? With such a long distance between us, even though we could be connected mentally, we couldn't do things like instant messaging.

"Ok?"

Sera's face still had that gentle smile that was as clear as water and as light as clouds, and her words still made Shigure Qiluo feel particularly warm.

"Miss Qiluo, what do you want to know? If you're interested, please speak up. I'm also quite curious about why you're asking this."

"That's right, I want to know if Lady Cecilia is still alive!"

Based on the fact that Lady Cecilia was still alive, Shigure Kirara, hoping to hear a positive answer, looked at Sera with eyes full of expectation, and the expression of true feelings was so hot that it seemed to melt people.

Xilin glanced at her again, and after a few exchanges, the clever Sera figured out something based on the tacit understanding between her and Xilin and Shigure Kirara's reaction.

So, she started a harmless cooperation with Xilin, casually adopted the Riddler's style, and started to deceive people.

"Cecilia, she's alive, but she's never been in good condition."

Sera said, and then saw the expected reaction on Shigure Kirara's face. She didn't know why the idol lady looked so certain, just confirming that everything she said was the truth.

However, what she said now was indeed the truth. Cecilia Shaniat's spirit was undergoing a process similar to reincarnation in the spiritual veins. When the day of rebirth came, the Valkyrie that Xilin had always missed would be able to return to the world with a new look.

If Sera had a more malicious mind, she could use Misterine, who was lying on the jade table and almost recovered, to make up the number, and use a face that was almost exactly the same as Cecilia's, which was certified by Silin, to carry out a fraud.

It's just that Sera is kind-hearted and generally doesn't bully others.

"I understand. Thank you for the news." Shigure Qiluo showed a relieved expression. This was exactly the news she wanted to hear.

As long as you are alive, you still have everything. If you are dead, there will be no bright future.

"Have you finished what you wanted to ask? This is our communication with Sera. Don't take advantage of Sera's words to get ahead of yourself. We still have a report to make!"

She tried to interrupt Shiyu Qiluo's questions with a domineering tone. Even though Xilin knew that Sera was cooperating with her, she didn't want Shiyu Qiluo to ask any more questions.

Just thinking about it will tell you that it is impossible for Sera to cooperate with her on all issues. Under difficult conditions, it is already good enough to have such cooperation.

"Let me ask you one more question."

Shi Yu Qiluo glanced at Xilin, who seemed to be anxious, and had a new interpretation in her mind.

"Ms. Sera, may I ask if you and Lady Cecilia are related by blood?"

? ?

huh?

This question not only raised a question mark in Sera's head, but also confused Silin. Although the others didn't know what was going on, it didn't stop them from eavesdropping openly.

"Uh...why would Miss Qiluo think so?"

Sera's smile became a little stiff. To be honest, she really didn't know her blood relationship. As an experimental subject born in a laboratory, she had no idea where her genes came from.

At most, based on what he had learned from Father Capton in the orphanage about some families that fought against the Honkai, he had some guesses about Kaslana, who also had silver hair and blue eyes.

And now, it seems that Cecilia, who also has silver hair and blue eyes, also has a chance...

"Because Miss Sera, you look a lot like Lady Cecilia. You're like a little Lady Cecilia!"

Shigure Kirara explained the reason why she was so sure. Whether it was appearance or temperament, she thought her Cecilia recognition ability was powerful and felt that there must be some connection between them.

What a fanatical fan, you treat me as a meal substitute for others, right?

After hearing what Shigure Kirara said, a cawing sound similar to that of a crow suddenly appeared in Sera's heart. She felt deeply helpless and hesitant to speak for this kind of identification based purely on intuition.

"Ahem." Sera coughed a few times deliberately to ease the embarrassment caused by her shocking remarks, and then smiled politely, "I'm sorry, Miss Qiluo, please don't associate me with that Valkyrie. Also, I can't tell you about any kinship or anything like that."

"However, since you are so enthusiastic about Cecilia, why don't you come to the garden in person with Xilin and the others? That way you can see the Cecilia you have always admired."

These words touched Shiyu Qiluo's heart. She was just looking for an opportunity to go to the forest to find out what was going on, but she was unwilling to lose face and beg Xilin. Just as Sera spoke, she immediately agreed.

"Well, Miss Sera, I look forward to visiting you later."

Filled with the aura of victory, Shi Yu Qiluo returned to her seat leisurely and gave the opportunity to Xilin and the others, allowing them to explain their thoughts and ideas one by one.

Sera listened quietly, and was particularly concerned about what Dan, Pimi, and Han Miao said about "Xilin going crazy". In the face of Sera's smile, Xilin had no choice but to tell them dryly what she had done.

"You're acting like a Herrscher~"

"It seems, Xilin, even though you're no longer a Herrscher, you're still wearing the same hat in your heart."

Sera smiled and didn't delve into it further, because from the outcome of the matter, she could see that the ideas derived from the forest were enough to support the world in the hearts of the residents.

Even though Xilin harbored hatred, she would not solve all problems by simply killing.

Lord Y'ktrasil, the home I created is already the heir of the forest.

"Tsk, I just wanted to scare this Valkyrie. I'm much more civilized than before!"

Xilin argued with a blush on her face, showing that she had no resistance to Sera.

264. Anchor Information

Shigure Kirara still remembered the words she heard in the base station yesterday, and the awkward expression on the Second Herrscher's face.

It's like a naughty kid who was caught doing something bad, but he has no reason to defend himself and can only show an angry face in front of his parents.

Seeing this, Shigure Kirara herself wanted to laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Just do your own thing. Otherwise, when you go back with us, you will definitely have a hard time in your hometown!"

On the second day of arriving in the Inca Republic, according to the itinerary, the group will go to a secret facility near Kika with Darwin and Shigure Kirara.

Where the anchor power's profit-sharing point is is a narrow operating window obtained by the Republic's forces based on empiricism.

It is said to be narrow because the capacity of the information channel is extremely low. It is very difficult to use this profit-sharing point for transfer. It is difficult to transport two or three people in an hour. But as an observation perspective, it is not a big deal.

"You know, I hold a very high position in the family! I can make it impossible for you to move around the family with just one word."

Xilin kept yelling in Shiyu Qiluo's ear, and the pressured words were like the buzzing of bees, never stopping for a moment, giving Shiyu Qiluo an auditory experience that was neither happy nor uncomfortable.

The Second Herrscher is so noisy. Compared with little Sera, they are completely two extremes. How could such a person hold such a high position?

Sitting in the steam locomotive, Shigure Kirara, who was sitting side by side with Sirin, had originally wanted to observe the Second Herrscher who might have turned over a new leaf, but now, she no longer had that thought.

"Change position?"

Shigure Kirara smiled and asked about the mouse and cat beside her.

"can."

Han Miao spoke concisely, and then together with Pi Mi, he acted as a ceasefire between Shigure Qiluo and Xilin. In the unbearable situation, the uplifting magic power was compiled into a spell to isolate the sound, blocking out the chattering in his ears.

"Is this the friendship between fellow countrymen? It sounds really interesting."

Darwin drove himself to the outskirts of Kika. Sitting in the driver's seat, she heard all kinds of conversations coming from the back seat and couldn't help but smile softly. She heard the feeling of a quarrel between best friends.

"Lord Xilin is like this, she can be unexpectedly energetic in some matters."

Dan said quietly. The tall creature was curled up in the car in a jointless skeleton-like posture, giving people the impression of a ball of mercury-like fluid, which was extremely strange.

The engines of the locomotives roared with boiling gas, and the boiling air rushed out of the vehicles in a vast and surging white trail. As the continuous convoy moved forward, a facility located inside the mountain shed its vague disguise and opened its door to the newcomers.

The air flowing through the facility is as cold and refreshing as the lights above. However, the pipes marked with red, yellow and blue run through the spacious corridor, adding a sense of warmth.

"Ms. Xilin, please. The anchor point's child node is ahead, or in other words, a remote connection object that has been approved by the anchor point."

Darwin personally opened the back door for Xilin and the others with a beautiful smile. Although it was just a business matter, it made people feel warm and relaxed.

“I can feel that the space here does have an unusual charm.”

Pimi and Han Miao both felt something. Even Shigure Qiluo had a different feeling because of the symbiotic alien species. For Xilin, the abnormality here was particularly obvious.

There is one direction in all directions, and with this as the axis, everything around it rotates. There is no doubt that the charm that Xilin perceives is the center of the world bubble, the starting point and end point of the world bubble, and the embodiment of the ether anchor structure.

It is the root of the world bubble, the world tree that supports all veins, and the silent earth that supports all material existence.

The golden pupils shone with an imperceptible ripple. Under Darwin's guidance, Xilin saw the carrier of that wonderful charm, a dark sphere hanging in the air.

It absorbs the light from its surroundings and radiates galaxy-like colorful colors from its interior. It is like an exquisite gem inlaid in space, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura from time immemorial.

"How is it? Miss Xilin, can this sub-node meet your requirements?"

"If that's not possible, then we will arrange for everyone to go to the real anchor point, the Waka Tunnel, as soon as possible."

Darwin asked, and in the bright light, the Republic official's face showed only pure concern.

"Try it first and then talk."

Xilin put forward her own requirements. First, she asked irrelevant personnel to stay away, and then asked Pimi and Han Miao to set up a protective magic circle. After confirming the conditions for safe operation, she stepped forward steadily, her steps revealing calmness as calm as water.

The necklace around her neck changed color, and the mana crystals transformed from tranquil holy blue to sharp white, which was closest to space. In some unknown way, Xilin, who was standing under the sphere, achieved synchronization with the anchor point.

Instantly, her vision began to expand infinitely, and her body and mind seemed to melt into the space itself in an instant, looking at the entire world bubble from the inside out with a transcendent perspective.

The Honkai energy is entrenched in it, occupying about one-fifth of the world's volume. Horrible demonic shadows are wandering in the ominous purple halo. A giant Honkai beast has unified all living beings, and is coldly waiting for the day when the world bubble will completely fall with a one-to-ten thousand attitude.

So that's it. Is this the culprit that brought the Republic to its catastrophic end?

Focusing her sight and carefully observing the space-time manifolds of the corresponding areas, Xilin searched for the best entry point, striving to complete the design of the great magic with the most accurate information, and to remove the rotten and festering tumor of the world bubble in one fell swoop.

At this moment, the giant Honkai beast seemed to sense something and began to search around with a subtle and almost invisible sense of surveillance, but with only its size and no talent, it could not detect where Xilin was.
