Chapter 473 I Can Still Tell the Difference Between Life and Death

Recalling it! Theresa remembered everything!

The past when she fought side by side with Anti-Entropy in Siberia, after brushing off the chaos on the surface of the Otto Cage, all these memories returned to their original positions, even as clear as new.

Theresa shook her head, and the whole person was still a little dizzy, but the next moment, she couldn't help but wake up-

"Boom!"

In the direction facing the bridge porthole, the tallest tower in the Helheim area marked as where Mikael, Kiana and Mei were located collapsed with a violent explosion.

After the explosion, there was a sky-high flame that spread everywhere. The sudden high temperature caused the air flow inside the floating port to turbulent, and coupled with the shock wave spread by the previous explosion, the entire Hyperion shook.

Then, before Theresa could make any response, a golden light flashed in the void in front of her, and then a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in the air in front of the Hyperion.

"Report to the principal! The target has been found right in front of the Hyperion. Should we lock on and attack immediately... No, principal, that's not..."

"Tsk!"

Theresa clenched her fingers.

"That's Kiana... but it's not Kiana."

"Ah... it's the Second Herrscher."

Even though they were thousands of meters apart, the light emitted from the bright yellow eyes was still so dazzling, which was very different from Kiana's original Kaslana's iconic blue eyes. But other than that, there seemed to be not much difference.

The next moment, everyone on the Hyperion felt dizzy, and when they came to their senses, they saw the tiny black shadow of the floating port from afar outside the porthole.

"This is... Ai Yi, redefine the position!"

"Yes, Principal... This, our position is nearly a thousand kilometers southwest..."

"Is this the power of the Second Herrscher..."

Himeko, who had not experienced the second collapse, felt that it was incredible. This was a change of position of the entire Hyperion in an instant, and the distance was not close at all. At least in Himeko's eyes, there was a sense of nothingness of the collapse of combat power.

"Huh..."

Theresa supported her arms on the operating table, exhaled gently, and her brain worked rapidly.

So, what changes will happen after the appearance of the Second Herrscher? This is the question she wants to think about.

Based on the temper of the Second Herrscher in her memory, and...the memories that had just been restored, those experiences before the Second Herrscher became a Herrscher, Theresa felt that it would be good if she did not try to destroy the Destiny Headquarters. If so, does it mean that Yulandel will confront the Second Herrscher?

No, this is just the most ideal situation. As far as Theresa knows about her grandfather, she is more willing to believe that the other party will order Yulandel to ignore the Second Herrscher. As for the airport being destroyed by the second Herrscher? If he cares about this, then he is not Otto.

And the worst case scenario is that Otto will drag them down in all kinds of ways that can be imagined and unexpected.

The whole thing was a mess from the beginning, but at that time there were still opportunities to grasp the battle among the myriad of threads. Now, Theresa only hates that her head is too small and her hair is too little. The increasingly chaotic enemy-friend relationship is like dry and tangled hair. It is a headache.

"Go to the airport again. Aiyi, try to access the headquarters' communication system. Although you know that this possibility is very small, since the Herrscher has been born, try to avoid conflicts with the headquarters."

"Theresa, how are you going to face the second Herrscher? Attack? After all, her body is Kiana..."

Jizi reminded softly on the side.

"Of course I know this!"

Theresa finished the whole sentence word by word, and then turned to look at Einstein and Tesla.

"Two doctors, if..."

"Okay, stop talking. We know what you want to say. But in this matter, Anti-Entropy has the same understanding as you. A Kiana who has mastered the power of the Herrscher and a second Herrscher who fights for humanity are obviously more valuable. This is the common understanding of our entire Anti-Entropy before this. As for the Red Kite Immortal, I don't know about the Taixu Sect, but the Red Kite Immortal himself means the same thing."

"Is that so..."

Theresa didn't know whether Tesla was expressing his true feelings or explaining to the Valkyrie on the Hyperion who couldn't think straight for a while.

When she called on everyone to attack the Destiny headquarters, she didn't dare to tell everyone about Kiana's situation. Now that everyone has seen the second Herrscher, it's natural that she can't hide it. When the object to be saved is their former classmate, everyone will inevitably feel sad for the death of the rabbit, but when the object to be saved becomes the Herrscher, according to the Valkyrie's instinct, will they still think that it is the object that needs to be saved?

Of course, not everyone has the willingness to think independently (be serious). For many people, as long as there is a reasonable explanation, they are obviously more willing to follow that explanation and accept the top-down orders. However, it is hard to say whether Tesla's words are an explanation for her or a true expression of her feelings. After all, she and Einstein are not like Theresa herself and Himeko. She has been with Kiana for two or three years, but there is nothing that can be called "emotional" between them.

"Well, it will take about 40 minutes for the Hyperion to return to the battlefield, and we have to be prepared to break through the outer defense line of the floating port again. So... I'm sorry, we don't have time to rest. Himeko, Dr. Tesla, and Bronya, come with me first, I need to understand the situation. Uh... I'll leave the bridge to you, Dr. Einstein."

…………

"Heh... Can't you kill the so-called "companion"? It's ridiculous. Are you really immersed in the human's family and can't extricate yourself?"

The Second Herrscher gently covered her right eye and taunted in a low voice.

She could have let the space turbulence tear the Hyperion apart the moment it was sucked into the space rift, but another consciousness in her body briefly affected the operation of power, so she didn't have time to kill it.

"Or do you really think you are Kiana Kaslana? Don't forget, you are just K423, you are a man-made person without a name, and Kiana is just a gift from the man you took everything from."

She laughed twice, suppressing the other half of her restless consciousness.

She first turned her head and looked behind her. It was the battle between Lord God and that Chi Yuan. She was also very curious. With Lord God's level, what kind of battle would he have?

What made her a little unbelievable was that there was no scene of power flying all over the sky and light pollution everywhere as she imagined. Except for the initial outbreak, the two people quickly returned to the most primitive and inefficient fist and foot fight.

"Uh... Lord God must have his own considerations for doing this, right?"

She turned around and looked silently in another direction, where she could see the back of a giant dragon without careful identification.

However, the back exoskeleton, which was originally as white as snow, is now covered with scars, much like the mountains after the snow is half melted in late spring, with some parts burnt black and some parts pale, extremely ugly.

"Bella... I never thought that we would meet again one day."

The eyes of the Second Herrscher showed an imperceptible tenderness. This Honkai beast, who was given the name of her best friend, is the only existence she can trust in this world except for the gods.

But at the same time, that name is also a silent accusation of the various tragic things that happened in the Tower of Babylon.

As long as there are still people who remember the two names "Sirin" and "Benares", the sins committed by humans due to greed for the power of gods will still retain the most powerful evidence.

No... no no no...

It is better not to have anyone remember these two names. Instead of living in such an abstract way as proof of human sin, it is better to wipe out the dark aggregate of greed, meanness, insidiousness and cunningness from the entire earth!

That was a long, long time ago. In the tower of Babylon filled with darkness and stench, they occasionally had the opportunity to read books, although the time was so short that it was better than nothing, and although they were exhausted physically and mentally after the experiment, and even to the point where it was quite difficult to keep their eyes open, it was still the brightest memory of her childhood.

But not all the stories in the book were beautiful. She still remembered one, a simple and naive story that even she once thought was too fake.

The general idea of ​​the story was that God created his own children, humans, but humans, as degraded bodies, could not inherit all the power of God. So God split his power into two parts and gave it to the humans he created. He gave the power of "life" to some supermen and the power of "wisdom" to the other part of the last people. He expected that the creations that carried his power would live happily in the world he created.

But the reality was not as God thought. The supermen who got the power of "life" were much stronger than the other humans, but they had no consciousness, and except for their shapes, they were no different from beasts. The last people who gained "wisdom" were extremely weak. They had no claws, no fangs, no thick skin, and no agile speed. They often needed many people to unite together to survive in this dangerous world.

If it were just like this, it would be fine, but the story obviously couldn't end here. The last people who mastered wisdom gradually burst out with power that even the gods didn't expect. They were so weak, but they gathered more companions together in the name of faith in God, and made all kinds of tools and weapons with the wisdom given by the gods. After completing these, the first thing they did was to capture and keep their kind who were given the power of "life" and drive them to fight for themselves.

Until ten thousand years later, the last people with "wisdom" could finally proudly declare themselves as the primates of all things. They used wisdom to build civilization and used wisdom to obtain power that the gods did not give, but they decayed because of wisdom. They used their wisdom to pursue everything they wanted, but the world was not infinite, but desires were endless. In order to realize their own desires, they had to deprive others of what they originally wanted. Moreover, humans, who had originally united to conquer nature because they were too weak, lost their original unity because they had gained more powerful power and could use individuals to achieve things that could only be done by the collective. As a result, the world fell into complete collapse.

And those supermen who were given "life" were even more miserable. They were no longer needed by their own kind, because their own kind had already made weapons more powerful than theirs. But at the same time, they were feared by their own kind, because they were born with more powerful power than ordinary people, so the last people did not forget to persecute these "aliens" in the midst of the internal strife that was constantly staged...

At the end of the story, the gods were finally angry at the behavior of mankind. He found the twelve supermen who survived the persecution of the last people and ordered them to "destroy civilization."

For a long time, Xilin felt that this was extremely absurd. She didn't read much and felt that this should not be a problem discussed in a fairy tale. But she had also imagined that those people in white coats were the last people in the story who had high wisdom but used this wisdom to do evil, and imagined herself and Bella as supermen chosen by God... Although she knew it was just a story, and she thought it was too absurd even though she had not read many books, she still couldn't help but have a little unrealistic fantasy about the authenticity of the story.

She didn't expect... really didn't expect... that the story was actually true. She really became a superman chosen by God and given more powerful power, and God did let her go and destroy the civilization created by these despicable last people.

But... Bella, and those companions who were tortured to death in the Tower of Babel, will never have the chance to see the day when this story comes true.

Xilin admires God and thanks God for everything he has given her, but she still can't erase the hidden complaint in her heart-why didn't God take action earlier? Why did God only choose her and give up Bella and the more children in hell?

"Do you understand? This is your past, not the past of Kiana Kaslana, nor the past of K423, but the past of Sirin. You want to save the world and protect humanity? Ridiculous, this is clearly a betrayal of your own past."

With the complete awakening of consciousness, the memories that originally belonged to "Kiana", or K423, began to blend with Sirin's memories. This is only the first step. When the memories of the two consciousnesses are indistinguishable from each other, the so-called personality will gradually merge into one. However, in this process of merging into one, one of the two personalities must always be dominant. Sirin does not want to be held back by Kiana.

Well, sorry, it seems that I have been held back.

Sirin sneered, and her figure flashed, leaving only a void where she was originally standing.

"Ding——"

Before Benares's drooping dragon head, the dark spear tip was blocked by an invisible force in the void. Feeling strangely familiar, Yulandel instinctively retreated quickly. The next moment, countless sub-sky spears fell like raindrops, each of which fell on the place where her figure had stopped the moment before.

"Black Abyss White Flower? Humph, I want to see how much ability you have of Cecilia?"

"Da, Da, Da——"

The crisp footsteps came from the void. Yulandel straightened her body, raised her head slightly, and looked at the "familiar person" who walked down step by step in the void.

"Qiana? No, this ability to control space, are you the second Herrscher?"

Having said that, what flashed through her mind was the scene of Black Abyss White Flower being blocked by an invisible barrier. That was originally just a power that the Second Herrscher casually dispatched, and it did not exceed the scope of spatial power, but it made Yulandel unconsciously recall the battle with that man not long ago...

"Why does he also have this power? The Bishop... who is he working with?"

No one would answer her question, so she could only bury this doubt temporarily and face the Herrscher with all her strength.

But the Second Herrscher did not seem to care about her, and even took the initiative to turn around during the confrontation between the two and gently stroked the scar on Benares' face.

"Hmph!"

"Snap——"

After a snap of the fingers, the vines that originally bound Benares broke off, and the dragon-like Honkai beast howled softly, arched its head in the direction of the Herrscher, and then slowly flapped its wings, and followed the Second Herrscher obediently.

"You hurt my Bella like this... Human, you really don't know how to live or die..."

The Second Herrscher slightly turned his face, and his bright yellow eyes glanced down at Yulandel condescendingly.

Unexpectedly, the other party's serious answer directly choked the Herrscher:

"I'm sorry, I've been a Valkyrie for many years, and I can still tell the difference between life and death."

After a pause, her expression became more serious and earnest than ever before:

"Although I don't understand why you, who were destroyed sixteen years ago, revived, but on the day I became an S-class Valkyrie, the bishop told me that the so-called S-class Valkyrie is the Herrscher killer. Unfortunately, it was not until so many years later that I had the opportunity to fight the Herrscher for the first time... By the way, the original owner of this weapon, the Black Abyss White Flower, Cecilia Shaniate, died in the battle with you in the end, right? Don't worry, what has happened may not happen again."

Cilin's face suddenly twisted, perhaps the other party's tone of not taking her seriously pierced some of her memories, causing her heart to hurt instinctively, or perhaps it was the name mentioned by the other party, the name that could be regarded as the only exception in her heart.

"You don't understand... anything at all!"

Yulandel's pupils shrank slightly, and the next moment, three sub-air spears tore through space, aiming at her forehead, neck and heart respectively.

She turned the black abyss white flower in her hand upside down. This level of attack was just a little faster, but it was still within her reflex arc. But just when she thought that the black abyss white flower would easily block the sub-air spear, the slender and sharp spear head actually penetrated the black abyss white flower without any hindrance.

"Projection? No!"

Countless possibilities flashed through her mind, but facing the same move, Yulandel's reaction was much faster than that of a former S-level Valkyrie. She did not waste even a moment of time because of thinking and entanglement, but deflected her body as soon as the spear tip passed through the gun body. As expected, the sub-air spear aimed at her throat pierced her ponytail that was floating when she turned around at a high speed. The end of the ponytail was directly broken by the unstoppable space power. It was not a virtual object like a projection at all!

"You react really fast, but...how long can you hold on?"

The voice came from behind, and Yulandel turned her head with bloodshot eyes, and the spear in her hand swept back one step ahead, but was blocked and locked by several floating sub-sky spears in the air.

"King!"

It took less than 0.1 second for the self-driven phantom to form and the big sword to chop down, but Xilin had already jumped into the space crack one step ahead.

Yulandel's nose twitched, feeling a little tricky.

"Bianca..."

"Hmm!"

Otto's voice and the giant collapse energy crystal above her head appeared at the same time. Yulandel only had time to respond casually, and the whole person quickly dodged backwards under the pull of King.

"My Lord Bishop...what's wrong with you?"

After dodging this attack, she realized that Otto's voice was unprecedentedly weak.

"Nothing, there was a small problem. I transferred to a new body, and Amber is still helping me debug it. Okay, let's not talk about this. Bianca, remember, it will take about 40 minutes for Theresa and the others to return to the battlefield. Your mission is to delay the Second Herrscher. When Hyperion returns to the battlefield, you will leave immediately. Do you understand?"

Yulandel slowly typed a question mark in her mind.

However, she was somewhat accustomed to the bishop's unconventional thinking.

He didn't want her to feel, he only wanted his feelings, so she didn't need to question it.

Of course, she didn't like this order, but the order had to be executed, so she decided to execute it in a different way.

For example - see if the Second Herrscher can hold on forty minutes later?
