Sleeping in the hibernation capsule is the last S-class Valkyrie of Destiny.
"500 years from now, will you be able to adapt to this world?"
"Welcome to the new era, Miss Li Sushang."
He entered his iris and DNA data into the device and used his authority to unlock the hibernation capsule. Five hundred years later, Li Suchang's medical work was finally completed. It would be best if she became the new Valkyrie.
But Otto did not notice that in the medical cabin not far behind him, the gray-haired girl who should have had no brain wave activity had a slight tremor in her fingers.
The girl’s name was written on the medical cabin - Fu Hua.
……
While Destiny was rescuing the Far East, Anti-Entropy was also naturally taking action.
Thanks to the full efforts of the two doctors, Walter finally recovered. After practicing for a long time, Bronya was able to master the ability of the Herrscher of Reason without using gems.
However, it was of no help to the current dilemma of Anti-Entropy. On the contrary, Theresa, who was barely considered to be a high-end fighter, disappeared after going to find Kiana. Fortunately, the crew members of the Helios returned safely in advance under Theresa's command and were not affected by Changkong City.
Kiana left alone, Mei left without saying goodbye, Theresa's whereabouts were unknown, and she was the only one left of her former companion of St. Freya. After experiencing so many changes, Bronya gradually let go of the past and took on her own responsibilities.
Under Walter's guidance, he has begun to gradually take over the management of Anti-Entropy. Although he is still immature, compared with his previous negative attitude, it is already a leap forward.
The only one who is a little confused is probably Seele, but she also has many secrets in her heart, such as the whereabouts of Rosalia and the existence of Kindred.
"Another me, do you think I should tell these secrets to my sister?" Sitting alone on the side of the boat, Xier looked at the scenery in the distance with some boredom.
This was three days after the disaster. The refugee migration was nearing completion and the Hyperion had also finished its rest. Everyone was exhausted after all the busy work.
"No." The inner personality rejected subconsciously.
"why?"
The inner personality fell silent. It was impossible that the two of them had a common secret. Xier had been talking to him much more often. Maybe he didn't want to share it with others.
"Because, because you promised others. Besides, Sister Bronya doesn't know this now. She is concentrating on improving herself. If she knew the truth, she would definitely spend more energy, which would make her very tired. And if you tell others, what if they come back to hurt your sister?"
"Is that so?" Xier nodded. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she felt a terrifying sense of oppression.
Her eyes widened as she saw the white-haired man standing on the airship in the distance.
"snake!"
Chapter 239: Bronya is growing up
When those blue eyes that seemed to have been carved by thousands of years of time looked at her, Xier, who had been psychologically traumatized by Kevin in the Quantum Sea, widened her eyes and subconsciously wanted to switch to her inner personality state.
But she still forced herself to suppress her fear and took out her weapon and pointed it at Kevin.
"What are you doing? He is not someone you can handle. Let me do it."
Xier's unusual behavior made the inner personality a little anxious. She could feel Xier's arms trembling, but Xier, who was awake, firmly controlled her body.
"The other me, it's okay, you have been facing it all along. Xier will also grow up, I, I can fight on my own." Xier's voice trembled. The oppressive feeling brought by Kevin made her feel suffocated, but she still held on.
Faced with such a stubborn Xier, the inner personality was a little anxious. She wanted to forcibly replace her, but Xier was right. She had indeed grown up and was no longer the little girl who could only escape in the quantum sea.
"Fool!"
During their brief conversation, Kevin had already landed on the deck of the Siberian and walked towards her. Xier's breathing stagnated, and the courage she had just mustered was shaky. Just as her inner personality was about to forcibly recruit her body, Kevin spoke.
"Xi'er, long time no see."
It was not as cold as imagined, but rather had a bit of the gentleness of an ordinary person. For a moment, the inner personality thought that he had misheard the voice. But the dark and oppressive feeling that the other person brought to him did not lie. This was indeed the Lord of the World Serpent.
The inner personality was on full alert, ready to control Xi'er and Kevin to be hostile, when he heard Xi'er's trembling voice reply: "Hello... Hello."
"Are you stupid? The other party is from the World Serpent. Have you forgotten how he attacked your sister in the Quantum Sea?"
"But Xier didn't feel any hostility from the other party."
Xi'er's feeling was not wrong. After seeing Su Jue's self-sacrifice, Kevin's perception of this generation had indeed improved a lot. In other words, Kevin had never been hostile to anyone from beginning to end, but because of his concern for the collapse, he had to adopt a cold attitude towards people.
After all, they had experienced the disaster of the destruction of the previous civilization and had gone to great lengths to preserve the source of fire, but in the end the people of the current civilization were just playing house. The fact that Kevin didn't suffer from cerebral congestion was a sign of his mental toughness.
But now it's different. He at least sees the hope of humanity. Even if it's still a drop in the bucket in the face of true collapse, it at least shows that Alicia's efforts are not in vain. This is the wealth left by his comrades, and it is also one of the only beautiful things left in Kevin's heart.
That's why he was friendly to Xi'er. Unfortunately, for Kevin, who was not good at expressing himself, even if he wanted to be friendly, he would still be seen as extremely scary by others.
In just a few seconds, the Hyperion's alarm was fully sounded, and the close-in defense guns were immediately moved towards Kevin. However, he only took a look, and all the weapons and equipment were frozen and ineffective.
"Don't hurt them, we are all just ordinary people." Xier noticed Kevin's actions and wanted to stop him, so she raised the sickle and blocked Kevin's way.
"Don't worry, I just want them to be quiet." Kevin was very patient, but Bronya, who noticed the distance between them, was almost scared and immediately created a floating cannon aimed at Kevin.
This was the result of her recent efforts. Being able to materialize weapons without relying on the Core meant that she was being accepted by the power of the Ruler of Reason.
"Let Seele go!" The heavily-armored bunny turned into a motorcycle and crashed into Kevin with Bronya.
Kevin avoided the motorcycle by simply moving his feet. Bronya, who was driving the motorcycle, drifted in a huge arc, hugged Seele in her arms, and distanced herself from Kevin.
Fortunately, after experiencing the incident with the "Hersher of Consciousness", she was no longer so impulsive and did not open fire directly, but was only hostile to Kevin.
During her time in Anti-Entropy, she had come into contact with many people. After Walter was seriously injured, people were in a panic, and the entire Anti-Entropy was in a state of depression. The fuse of all this was her unauthorized firing. Although no one blamed her, this was the first time she felt responsibility and the meaning of the Ruler of Reason.
She needs to be responsible for others, instead of jumping into the Quantum Sea alone like she did in Haiyuan City.
"World Snake? What are you doing here?" Walter Yang, who had just regained his ability to move, came out with the help of Tesla and confronted Kevin. His face was pale and he looked like he was going to fall down at any time.
"The Herrscher of Reason... that's not right." Kevin frowned when he saw Walter in this state. He thought that the body that Walter had created with the Herrscher of Reason core had collapsed, but after careful perception, he found that he did not feel any energy fluctuations from the Herrscher.
With a slight movement of his footsteps, he had already arrived in front of Walter before everyone's eyes turned around, and his fingers gently touched the other's forehead.
"It's not an artificial body. The Herrscher core has indeed disappeared from your body." Ignoring the panicked movements of others and Tesla's angry expression, Kevin turned his gaze to Bronya.
To his surprise, there was no trace of the core in Bronya either, but the power in that girl's body was a bit similar to that of Raiden Mei whom he had met in Changkong City before, and some of the power of the Herrscher of Reason remained in her body.
But this was still inconsistent with expectations. He had seen Walter take back the core with his own eyes in the Quantum Sea, and it was even because he had deliberately let him go.
The other party is a Herrscher who truly fights for humanity, and Kevin doesn't dislike such people. After the incident of Honkai Will, he realized that the Herrscher can also make sacrifices for humanity, and he went to Anti-Entropy to try to win them over again, but now it seems a step too late?
Walter saw Kevin's surprise, and his voice was a little bitter, but he still maintained a strong attitude. He knew very well that he represented anti-entropy and was absolutely hostile to the World Serpent. If he showed weakness, it would be irresponsible to everyone.
"As you can see, I am no longer the Herrscher of Reason. The core, as the inheritance of the next Herrscher, has been hidden by me. If that is your goal, I'm afraid you will be greatly disappointed."
Kevin did not comment on Walter's flawed statement. He just glanced at Bronya and raised his hand to remove the disguise of the World Serpent Fleet.
At some point the World Serpent's small aircraft carrier had entered the detection range of the Hyperion, which made Tesla anxious and angry, because the technology used by the other party was extremely similar to the mecha stealth technology he was developing.
"Damn it! You damn thieves!"
She wanted to curse, but Walter held her mouth. He looked at Kevin with cold and hostile eyes and said, "World Snake is a bit too much."
"No, I'm just returning to you what originally belonged to you."
At Kevin's signal, the expressionless Raven brought the still unconscious Theresa to the front of everyone.
Chapter 240: Su Jue Learned the Sit-Ups
"School Principal?!"
Ever since they separated in Changkong City, Theresa's whereabouts have been unknown. Although the World Serpent's attention had been attracted by the Herrscher at that time, she unexpectedly fell into the hands of the enemy.
"What did you do to her?" Bronya asked coldly, forcing herself to calm down.
Kevin didn't answer, but Raven, who was already in a bad mood, looked at her gloomily with an unfriendly expression.
"You'd better put away your questioning tone. Without the World Snake, what you found in Changkong City should be just a corpse. We brought her back only because of an agreement with someone, not because we have to do so."
Although it was hard to believe that the World Serpent would be so kind as to send Theresa back safely, Bronya was not stupid. She knew that she was a little impulsive, so she simply kept silent.
Seele took the initiative to help Bronya out of the predicament and took Theresa back from the raven. Taking advantage of the opportunity to get close to Kevin, she secretly glanced at Kevin, who had an expressionless face. The other party was still as cold as ice, but the feeling Seele felt was not as scary as before.
The quantum Xier's fighting power is not weak. With the characteristics of the quantum body, she can avoid a lot of damage. However, before, Kevin was surrounded by the shadow of chaos, so she felt instinctive fear. Now that Tripoca has dissipated, Xier has the courage to truly understand Kevin.
Her little action was immediately discovered. Just by being glanced at by Kevin, Xier became silent and obediently took Theresa back to the Anti-Entropy people.
"The people have been sent here. I have no intention of making an enemy of you. It's just that you are so weak even with the First Ruler. Now that you have lost the core, how far you can go depends on your luck." Kevin took the initiative to warn.
"I am not alone in the fight against the collapse, and Anti-Entropy was not established because of the Herrscher. You don't need to worry about this." Walter responded in a deep voice. He could not hide the fact that he had lost his core from the other party. But as he said, Anti-Entropy could be what it is today because of the joint efforts of many people with lofty ideals, and it was never the credit of the Herrscher of Reason alone.
"I hope so." Kevin nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Walter's statement, and left with Raven.
After they left, the atmosphere on the Hyperion became solemn.
Only after the actual contact did they truly feel the pressure Kevin brought to them. The problems faced by Anti-Entropy were far from as simple as Walter said.
"Bronya, I'll leave the rest to you."
"Ah."
……
Just when Anti-Entropy was having a headache because of the loss of the Law Core, the real core was now quietly suspended in the space of the Domination Theater. Dense threads were tightly wrapped around the core, trying to tame this core that had been passed down for generations of Law Masters.
It is not difficult for the power of domination to steal the power of creation, but the core of law contains consciousness after all, so it is not easy to control it as easily as the gem of disease.
As the silk thread was bound tightly, the core was also constantly trembling, transmitting its energy fluctuations to the surroundings.
Unfortunately, there was only dead silence in this dilapidated theater.
The endless corridors surrounding the theater were neatly cut off. Those were the traces left by the attack of the Taixu Sword God used by Kiana. In addition, the main body of the theater also suffered varying degrees of damage.
A piece of gravel on the pillar seemed to be touched by the core of reason, and rolled down to the stage and stopped at the feet of Wuliangta Jizi.
Looking at the gravel under her feet with dim eyes, Ji Zi felt a little annoyed.
Before Su Jue controlled her to be killed by Kiana, Ji Zi had been in an autistic state, but it was precisely in this quiet state that she had time to think about some changes.
Even though she managed to save her life, she never forgot that she was saved by a Herrscher. Although Su Jue did not show much malice, after experiencing the pain of almost having her soul split, Ji Zi still felt fear of Su Jue.
That's why she followed Su Jue's instructions obediently, because she was worried that she would lose her role and be abandoned by the Herrscher. Ji Zi was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that no one would take care of her students after her death.
During this period of autism, Su Jue did not ask her to participate in any tasks, and she had enough time to learn about Su Jue's unknown past.
Walking alone in the empty theater, Jizi looked around.
In the past, whenever she returned to the Domination Theater, she could always hear the clicking sounds of the puppets being turned off and colliding. Now, all the puppets stayed quietly in place, without collisions or ups and downs, as if mourning for their masters.
Yes, Su Jue died, and as a puppet, she was naturally free, but Ji Zi was not happy at all, because she realized that she might have missed something.
The photo she saw in Su Jue's room was still clearly imprinted in her mind. At that time, Ji Zi decided to bring Su Jue back on the right track just like she did with those children of Saint Freya.
But she broke her promise. Out of fear of Su Jue, Ji Zi instinctively distinguished him from her students. Kiana and the others were her students, and Su Jue would always be just a Herrscher.
It was with this mentality that even though she had recognized Su Jue's efforts, she had no chance to express it. Until she became autistic and had enough time to think and made up her mind to treat Su Jue the same way she treated Kiana and the others, it was too late.
Along the way, she witnessed Kiana's growth, but also witnessed Su Jue's self-destruction. In his autobiography before his death, the boy's past was truly revealed. Although what Su Jue said was very different from the facts, in Ji Zi's view, he said this just to avoid making Kiana sad.
After all, he was just a child tortured by suffering. I should have discovered his obvious self-destructive tendencies earlier.
Perhaps from the very beginning, the other party was prepared to use his own sacrifice in exchange for Kiana's growth, so that the flame of hope could continue to be passed on in Kiana's hands.
It's my own fault that I failed to save him.
This is Ji Zi's regret.
But now that the dust has settled and everything is about to end, Ji Zi doesn't know where to go, and can only follow the path of dominating the theater towards the passage to reality.
She didn't notice that, above the Domination Theater, a pair of golden eyes were watching her go away.
When Ji Zi left through the spatial channel between the theater and reality, the Domination Theater fell silent again.
After a long time, the core of reason, which was bound by silk threads, burst out with a strong light. Under the illumination of this light, the glow continued to condense, and the figure of a human slowly emerged.
When the light was fully gathered, a hand slowly stretched out, grasped the core of Li Lu in its hand, and then pressed it into his body.
The core wanted to resist, but was completely suppressed.
"It took 48 hours to rebuild the body, but it only took Walter Yang less than a second. It seems that there is something."
The gray-haired boy muttered to himself. Su Jue looked at the empty theater and stretched his new body.
Since Su Jue, the Herrscher of Fire, is already dead, it is reasonable for Su Jue, the Herrscher of Reason, to appear.
Chapter 241: Ending
The ruined theater was full of collapsed ruins. After Su Jue's amplification, the Taixu sword energy directly destroyed half of the Domination Theater. However, the effect was quite good. Not only did it eliminate the surveillance left by the Honkai Will on him as planned, but it also improved his resistance to consciousness attacks.
Even though he and Kevin were fighting back and forth, and he could even chat and laugh with the Honkai consciousness, in fact, the current situation was the result of Su Jue's plan to abduct Kiana from the very beginning.
The Thousand Herrscher's ability to enhance emotions is more effective than expected. After discovering this, Su Jue began to consciously or unconsciously cultivate his affection for Kiana, and eventually formulated the current plan to split himself.
