Seeing Kiana's reaction, Angie said to Otto.
Otto nodded with a smile on his face.
"No problem. As an S-rank Valkyrie, this is your right."
"Well, it's time to get down to business. How do you want to verify my ability?"
"Hahaha, you've seen through my intentions, haven't you? Miss Anqi is really smart."
"No need to brag. I'm not Kiana. I won't be shaken by such words."
Kiana, who was drinking tea and eating, was sneered.
"puff!"
Then, he turned to look at Angie with a resentful and aggrieved look in his eyes.
Angel reached out and touched the back of Kiana's head as a soothing gesture, while continuing to look at Otto expressionlessly.
Otto nodded helplessly.
"That's a long story. Let me think, do you know the concept of the tree of imaginary numbers?"
"My master is a warrior from the former civilization, and she is far more than the only warrior from the former civilization who has taught me. I know that the former civilization once compared the law of the origin of the world to a tree and the sea. The tree represents order, and the sea represents chaos. They are the mother of all worlds, rules, and destiny.
They describe it this way: The leaves that grow from the tree of imaginary numbers are our world. The leaves grow under the nourishment of the tree, and naturally they will wither and fall. The fallen leaves that lose the nourishment of the tree will fall into the quantum sea, become illusory bubbles of the world, and eventually melt into the sea. And the rule that determines when the leaves wither, the rule that brings disaster to the world and civilization - we call it collapse. "
An Qi described the setting.
As senior S-class Valkyries, Yulandel and Rita had naturally heard of such information before.
But it was the first time that Kiana heard it, and she even slowed down her chewing movements.
"So, is this how the collapse came about? The decision, the fall of the world?"
"It's just a theory proposed by the early pre-civilization, just a metaphor, and there are many problems in it. For example, according to this statement, did the pre-civilization pass the test? If not, then why didn't our world fall, but instead gave birth to our generation of civilization 50,000 years later? If it did pass, then what's the reason for the current collapse? Will it continue to repeat the test after passing it? Is it an endless torture?"
"what?"
"In fact, research in the late pre-civilization period found that this theory may be correct, but there is a problem with our collapse. Various contradictory signs and research results show that it is not a test given by the laws of nature, but more like a deliberate arrangement by some advanced civilization... Perhaps there is really some extraordinary existence that interfered with our test, otherwise, the brilliant technological level of the previous civilization would not have ended like this."
At this point, even Otto couldn't help but raise his eyebrows with interest.
Chapter 404 Wonderful
It is not surprising to know the theory of trees and the sea.
But the fact that he can talk about something as problematic as collapse in such an orderly manner is not just a coincidence. I'm afraid he really has a wide range of knowledge.
Therefore, Otto was somewhat glad that he chose to have a direct dialogue instead of engaging in roundabout inducements or lies.
With An Qi's ignorant personality, that kind of small action could easily lead to failure.
"So, in your opinion, do we have any hope of overcoming this abnormal collapse that even the previous civilization could not overcome?"
"Have."
"What do you mean?"
"The stigmata, the divine key, the soul steel, and the exceptionally powerful individuals that appear every once in a while among humans are all gifts from previous civilizations. We are not moving forward alone, but walking on the path that our predecessors have done their best to pave. The power of one era is indeed not enough, but if the power of two eras is added together, there is absolutely no hope."
This is a bit idealistic.
But Otto doesn't hate this sentimentality.
What he hates are those who shout about their ideals without knowing anything, or those who shout about their ideals but actually only care about their own interests - just like himself.
Angel was able to overcome the influence of the will of destruction, gain recognition from old friends and other heroes, go deep into the cyber world to hunt down the Invaders as soon as they broke out, and now, face Otto Apokalis for Kiana.
In Otto's eyes, Angie's personality score was very high. Otto believed her idealistic slogans.
"You're right. With the combined power of the two eras, at least our hope is much greater than that of the previous civilization."
Otto smiled gently.
An Qi fell silent, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said:
“There are two sides to a coin.”
"What do you mean?"
"Kevin prepared a plan. I won't go into detail, but if we fail to surpass him, we won't even have a chance to face the end. He will make the judgment that we have no hope, and then give this civilization a relatively decent end."
"That's really, an incredible pressure."
Otto said sincerely.
Kevin's plan, he has a bit of instinctive curiosity as a scientist.
Unfortunately, Otto had his own plans, and Kevin's matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't have the energy to study anything else.
"Well, let's get back to the point. My testing method is very simple. Please participate in one of my experiments. I need you to... help me find the coordinates of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers!"
Otto finally got to the point.
An Qi's pupils shrank and she immediately understood.
Otto had already obtained the beacon of the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, turned on the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle's zeroth rated power, and obtained the coordinate data he needed.
So, what better way to test the value of the power of emptiness than to observe the tree of imaginary numbers again and obtain the same coordinate data?
Therefore, as long as Otto can be given a set of coordinate data that matches the observation data of the Thousand Worlds One, it can be proved that Angel has indeed mastered the complete power of the void and is very skilled.
“That’s wonderful…”
An Qi nodded without changing her expression.
However, Yaesakura raised the corners of her mouth and even licked her lips happily.
'The beauty of this is that it can indeed test the value of the power of the void. What's even better is - Mr. Otto, how did you know that we also want to observe the Tree of Illusion?'
The first step on the road to false godhood is to find the coordinates of the tree of imaginary numbers, which is naturally something that Angel longs for but has been unable to participate in.
But the opportunity has come!
……
That night, Angel and Kiana moved into the luxurious villa that Amber had carefully prepared.
"As a rule, every S-class Valkyrie, no matter where they are stationed, has a house of the highest specifications and the best scenery at the headquarters. Please don't be shy, S-class Valkyries go to the most dangerous battlefields and make great contributions to protecting the world, so this is the treatment they deserve."
"Oh. It seems that the headquarters is still very wealthy and generous, much more generous than my aunt."
Kiana crossed her arms over her chest, remembering that Theresa had not arranged any treatment for Fu Hua.
The experiment would not be completed overnight. Although Otto was ready, the power of the Living Herrscher and the Key of God was different, and Angie had to cooperate to make special adjustments. Formal observations also needed to be carried out multiple times. It was impossible to locate the coordinates of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers in one go.
In short, this will be Angel and Kiana's temporary residence for the next few days.
"There is one thing that you may need to forgive, Lady Anqi. This house was not built specifically for you. In fact, eighteen years ago, this house belonged to another S-rank Valkyrie."
"...Then I'll just use this place as a temporary residence. Once someone graduates and gets her S-rank treatment, I'll hand this place over to the person who should own it."
"Okay, I will convey my opinion to Lord Otto and prepare a new house for you. Well, I wish you two a good sleep tonight."
Amber bowed ladylike and left the room with graceful steps.
Kiana strolled around the living room leisurely and then sat down on the sofa.
"Wow, it's decorated so cozy, just like someone's home."
"Did you use your brain clean during the day?"
"what?"
"Eighteen years ago, there were only two S-rank goddesses in the Destiny. One of them was Principal Theresa, and her last name was Apokalys. She lived with Otto and did not need a house like this. So, this place belonged to another legendary Valkyrie who was well-known to everyone in the Destiny."
Angel also sat down, turned her head, and looked at Kiana with eyes as calm as water, as if comforting her, or encouraging her.
Kiana was stunned for a moment, then immediately held Angie's hand tightly, trembling slightly.
"You mean?"
"Would you like to take a closer look at the place where they once lived?"
"Can I...can I?"
"Is that it? Let's go and take a closer look."
An Qi pulled Kiana up.
Kiana bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before nodding heavily.
The two of them walked around the house.
The living room, kitchen, bedroom with wedding photos, and little princess room full of childlike fun. There are pots on the windowsill, anti-collision measures at the corners of the stairs and tables, and a toy room with wooden swords, wooden guns, and small toy cars.
Everywhere is filled with traces of life, and also reflects the love of the owners of the house for their children.
"very nice……"
“It’s your home.”
"yes?"
"Yes. As long as you are willing to admit it, I think they will not refuse you."
Angel looked at Kiana with her crystal clear eyes like gemstones, with full certainty.
Kiana stood at the door of the children's room, covered her mouth, then suddenly hugged Angie tightly, tears dripping on Angie's shoulders.
……
late at night.
Kiana still didn't dare to sleep in those rooms that looked like the host's house. Instead, she found a guest room with relatively simple furnishings and lay in the same quilt with Angie.
"Otto is such a scary guy. If I hadn't known who he was and what he had done to me, I would have sworn allegiance to him today, right?"
Kiana touched Angel's chest with lingering fear. The curve that was expanding day by day at this age brought a new surprise every once in a while.
An Qi grabbed it back, using his own tactics against him, and said slowly:
"Well, psychological tactics do work wonders for a pure-blooded Kaslana like you."
"…Are you laughing at me again?"
Kiana blushed and spoke in a resentful tone.
An Qi did not answer, but leaned over, close to Kiana's mature and plump creature, and said:
"Go to sleep, we will start cooperating with him in the experiment tomorrow. To be honest, regardless of his ultimate goal, I am still very interested in this experiment itself. The tree of imaginary numbers is the origin of all rules and the origin of the collapse. Exploring topics such as imaginary coordinates is of great significance in revealing the nature of the collapse, and it can also provide a lot of inspiration for the development of power."
"..."
Pureblood Kaslana knew nothing about scientific research. To save some dignity, she had to pretend she didn't hear anything. Kiana sighed, and with her mood just calmed down, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
……
At the same time, in the Far East, in Tachibana Yuki's luxurious manor.
"Hehe, elder sister~~"
Tachibana Yuki served a carefully prepared meal and pinched Xilin's shoulders flatteringly.
Xilin tapped her phone and finished the game. Then she glanced at Tachibana Yuki with her cold and beautiful eyes as golden as gold.
"What do you want to do now?"
"I have something important to tell you. I want to borrow half of your power."
Yes, most of the time up to now, Kiana and Angel, the Herrscher of the Sky, have used half of the power of the sky.
The remaining half is in the hands of its original owner, Queen of the Sky, Sirin.
Although it was given to Xilin by Anqi, she could take it away at any time.
But, isn't this a special relationship? If I want to do this, I still have to seek Xilin's opinion.
"…for that brainless idiot?"
"For my pseudo-god plan!"
Yes, half of it was for the false god plan, and the other half was to help Qiana deal with Otto's covetousness.
Xilin narrowed her eyes, not knowing whether she understood the hidden meaning of Anqi's words.
