Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

"How could that be? I just think this is really a wonderful fate."

Lin Wei smiled helplessly, rubbed Anna's already messy little head, and said with some emotion and apology,

"It's just that you're caught between me and Otto. It's really too difficult for you..."

As a descendant of the Shaniat family and a Valkyrie who grew up in destiny, all her life memories, beliefs, and worldviews since she could remember are firmly bound to the word "destiny"; it is obviously too cruel to involve her in such a painful choice.

"...Run, Lin Wei; don't let anyone find you."

After crying for a while, Anna sniffed and calmed down. She looked at Lin Wei with red eyes and said anxiously,

"Such a big thing has happened in Manila. The large force of Tianming will be here soon. If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"

"how about you?"

"Don't worry about me. I'm an A-rank Valkyrie after all, so protecting myself here is no problem!"

Anna patted the weapons on her body and said naively.

"Ow..."

The roar of a Honkai beast happened to be heard from the distance outside the window, which scared Anna and the confidence that had just appeared on her face shattered in an instant.

This wasn't surprising. After all, she had been running nervously since the collapse, and it had taken her a while to adjust.

Seeing her somewhat embarrassed look, Lin Wei couldn't help but laugh, which made Anna furious again.

"dare you laugh!"

Anna didn't understand why she was so emotional right now.

But in fact, she didn't even have time to get excited, and her whole body collapsed like a deflated ball.

"You shouldn't have come to save me, and you shouldn't have said this to me..."

Anna shook her head and said in a confused tone,

"I know that Tianming has done a lot of bad things behind my back, hurting many people, including you. But I, but I..."

But Anna couldn't explain it.

But I am the Valkyrie of destiny, so I can only stand on the side of destiny?

Anna couldn't say such words anyway, it was too selfish;

But for Lin Wei, was she really going to betray her destiny? She couldn't do that no matter what!

I'm just an ordinary Valkyrie, why did I have to encounter such a thing?

At that moment, Anna suddenly felt that dying in the same place as before might be a good thing...

But could she blame him for Lin Wei suddenly appearing and saving her?

I can’t either…

For a moment, Anna fell into the confused struggle in her heart.

"Silly girl, are you stuck in a rut again?"

Lin Wei saw through Anna's thoughts at a glance and said softly,

"My feud with Bishop Otto is a personal one—strictly speaking, I helped your Tianming resolve a historical issue. But Bishop Otto is rather heartless, and he usually prefers to 'kill every last drop of kindness'."

Lin Wei pointed at himself and said with a smile,

"I'm just such an unlucky guy~"

"You're talking nonsense again! You're not allowed to slander the Bishop like that."

Anna is still depressed.

"Besides, is there a difference?"

Are they different enemies?

"Of course there is a difference!"

In order to reawaken Anna's spirit, Lin Wei said in a shocking way,

"Because strictly speaking, my legitimacy for the position of 'Bishop of Heaven' is not necessarily lower than that of your current Bishop Otto!"

"You're talking nonsense again!"

Anna really jumped up and scratched Lin Wei's chest in frustration, wishing she could bite off a piece of flesh.

"Your last name isn't Apocalis! And the bishop has been in office for five hundred years! Where does your legitimacy come from?"

Anna became more and more angry as she spoke, and was afraid that if she scratched too hard, she would hurt Lin Wei, so she simply grabbed Lin Wei's collar again and began to shake her violently, muttering through gritted teeth,

"You only know how to bully me! Bully me! Bully me!"

"Don't be anxious, just listen to me and tell me slowly!"

Seeing that Anna was no longer depressed, Lin Wei quickly raised her hand to stop her.

"I must have a basis for saying this!"

"Okay, tell me!"

Anna was still furious.

"I want to see what you can come up with!"

I'm Shaniyat, who do you think you're fooling?

"Do you remember my divine key?"

Lin Wei was not in a hurry.

This simple sentence calmed down Anna, who was a little excited. She frowned and said,

"Yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. How many Divine Keys do you have?"

The black abyss and white flower he had seen with his own eyes; the feather that had implanted a memory image in him, as he himself had said, was the key to consciousness;

And that power that controlled gravity, which had once made him believe he was the First Herrscher Walter, was, if nothing unexpected happened, the Ninth God's Key...

That's three already! And at least there's no way the Black Abyss White Flower could appear in his hand!

If what Lin Wei had just told her hadn't been so explosive, she would have asked about this matter long ago.

"Of course it is one. I'll explain this to you later, because it's related to what I'm going to say next."

Lin Wei smiled lightly and asked,

"Since your last name is Shaniat, you must be familiar with the history of Tianming?"

"of course!"

Anna puffed out her chest and said proudly, "She has always been an excellent student with both good character and good academic performance!"

"Then let me test you. How much do you know about the story that happened five hundred years ago?"

"Wow... I'm being questioned about the history of Tianming by an outsider like you. Why does it feel so weird?"

Anna grumbled, but still did not refuse. After thinking for a while, she said,

"Five hundred years ago, during the Middle Ages, Europe was plagued by the Black Death, and the Old Mandate was perverted. The young Saint Kallen Kaslana was the first to rise up and raise the banner of resistance. Later, she was persecuted and fled to the Far East, carrying the divine box containing the disaster. She later returned voluntarily, dying to prove her will. Then, her follower, Otto Apokalys, inherited her will, overthrew the corrupt Old Mandate, ascended the throne of the Mandate Bishop, cleansed the corruption, restored order, and continues the new Mandate to this day..."

The brief words made her mouth dry, and then she looked at Lin Wei strangely.

"Why do you ask?"

"Followers? Tsk tsk tsk..."

Lin Wei was amazed at Otto's "humility", and then returned to the topic.

"Do you remember how I got my Key of God?"

"I defeated a Herrscher from a previous civilization in Changkong City, and then..."

This question had just been discussed, so Anna naturally answered it, but she didn't understand why Lin Wei suddenly brought up this matter again.

"Where is Changkong City?"

Lin Wei asked.

"Of course it's the Far East..."

Anna said casually, and then suddenly woke up,

"Ah, you mean?"

"Anna, you are so smart~"

Lin Wei smiled lightly, then his expression became serious and he said seriously,

"Five hundred years ago, Tianming possessed two divine boxes, one gold and one black. They were both 'divine objects' found by Tianming's first ancestors."

"The golden one was found in Asia and was called the 'relic' by the destiny of the time. It was enshrined in the temple of the Apocalis family. Naturally, it was obtained by Otto."

Lin Wei smiled lightly and said,

"Its true form is the first Divine Key, 'Void Treasures,' created from the Herrscher's core after the previous civilization eliminated it. It contains nearly all of the knowledge of the previous civilization. It is the vast knowledge contained in this Divine Key that has allowed Otto to lead Destiny to this day. It is also the existence of this Divine Key that has allowed Otto to successfully break free from the limitations of his lifespan and survive to this day."

So, Lin Wei paused, letting Anna digest the information for a while, and then continued,

"The First Divine Key possesses the power of the First Herrscher. Therefore, based on the information contained within it, it can replicate and mimic the appearance of other Divine Keys, possessing similar powers—except, of course, for the Twelfth Divine Key."

"The Twelfth God's Key?"

Anna murmured, somewhat bewildered by Lin Wei's words.

"How do you know this?"

Even Anna herself didn't know these things.

In fact, Otto has always kept the existence of Void Treasures a secret, and very few people know about it - except for a few people he trusts, and those who were targeted by him with the Key of God and survived by chance.

"Yeah, why would I know that?"

Lin Wei repeated it in an inexplicable tone; then said,

"You don't know about the Void's myriad treasures, but you should know about that black box, right?"

"Yes. Destiny records that it caused a terrible disaster due to the mistakes of the old destiny. Later, Saint Kallen used all her strength to re-seal it, and then took it to the Far East, where it has since disappeared..."

Anna murmured and repeated what she had said before, and then looked at Lin Wei with a complicated expression.

"You mean, it's in your hand now, right?"

Now that things have come to this, how could Anna not understand what Lin Wei meant?

"So the God's Key you obtained is the God's Box that Tianming lost back then, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Lin Wei nodded and said seriously,

"The Twelfth Herrscher, who completely destroyed the last ray of hope of the previous civilization, was sealed away by the scholars of the previous civilization within a piece of soul steel, hoping to use it to forge another Divine Key, but they were unsuccessful. This lingered for fifty thousand years until it was finally discovered by Destiny and taken to the Far East by Kallen, where it was sealed again..."

"After the third collapse, the seal left by Kallen was broken, and the Herrscher of Corrosion, who had been trapped within it, was reborn. Ultimately, he was defeated by a despicable mortal, and after letting go of his past, he fell into a peaceful sleep and gifted this mortal with a divine key..."

When Lin Wei said this, he raised his hand and stretched it out, then slowly stretched it forward, summoning Pandora's true form - a black box. He looked at it gently, as if he was admiring the most beautiful thing in the world.

"This is it, the finally completed Twelfth Divine Key—I named it 'Pandora'."

"Really?"

The scene before her eyes was like the dusty history reappearing before her. Anna was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She stretched out her trembling hand to touch Pandora, but it dodged away with disgust, floating far away on Lin Wei's shoulder, floating up and down.

"Sorry, Pandora might not like you a little bit...?"

Lin Wei smiled awkwardly.

"……It doesn't matter."

Anna withdrew her hand awkwardly.

"Saint Kallen Kaslana rebelled against the old destiny and fled to the Far East with the Reliquary of God. Five hundred years later, I personally cleaned up this mess, bringing an end to the past."

Lin Wei picked up Pandora again, held it high, and said proudly,

"So, in a sense, I am the true successor to Saint Kallen's will! As for Otto? Ha, that's just self-praise!"

Lin Wei almost believed this set of passionate and righteous nonsense.

What the hell? It seems like this is really the case?
