People are crumbling, they're vile strangers

"—The Tower of Babylon is being besieged by the Houkai Beast born from the awakening of the Second Herrscher at this moment, and a large number of ordinary members of Destiny who are in charge of this investigation are trapped in the tower."

"Uh, so later on I can see the old stinky dad and Cecilia's mother fighting?!" Kiyana jumped up suddenly.

"?... Calmness is the most important psychological factor for a fighter. You have to learn to hide your true emotions, young fighter."

"Uh......"

"Don't look like you don't care, little guy, let me give you an example..."

"This mission was carried out by a team composed of you and your companion Leiden Mei. Now it is on the way to retreat, and your companion is injured and unable to move, and has even lost the ability to fight."

'"At this time, you were discovered by me, the commander of an enemy force, and I gave an order to attack, and deal with you who still have the ability to fight. However, one of the bullets that was not fatal enough flew towards you mate, what will you do, Kiyana?"

"Of course it is to help Mei block that bullet!"

"Nice chivalry, so guess what I'll do after seeing your anxious expression?"

"Of course defeat me who is still capable of fighting, what else can you do?" Qiyana looked at the hermit in front of her strangely.

"It's too sweet, kid—I'll allocate a part of my manpower to attack your comrades who have lost the battle."

"And with your temper that can't calm down now, you will be exhausted between responding to attacks and protecting your companions... You may even get dizzy and make some unbelievable operations..."

"I need to tell you what will happen to you and your companions in the end—"

Kiyana could feel the teasing gaze from behind the Hermit's mask...

"Wow, you guys who play tactics, your hearts are dirty!!!"

Chapter 72 She suffered more than you

Kiyana, who loudly accused the hermit of being a filth, finally accepted her suggestion. After all, she couldn't think of any way to refute it—a duel full of honor and justice was just a story written in a romance novel.

Why doesn't Kiyana herself use some cleverness and tricks in battle?

"Think it through? I hope you don't just figure it out, it should become your instinct—"

"Always keep calm and determined. No matter how exaggerated your expressions and actions are, your brain must always be clear. You should understand what you are doing and what you should do."

The hermit shook his head, and the scene on the snowy forest began to change again, and the two returned to the gate of the Babylon Tower. At this moment, the defenses on the research facility were roaring, and various beams and live ammunition weapons were flying in the vast crowd of collapsed beasts. Set off dust and explosions.

"Advance-level and chariot-level Honkai Beasts? There are so many! In the third Honkai, the entire Changkong City didn't have so many!" Qiyana looked at the sea of ​​Honkai Beasts in front of him in shock.

"The second Honkai is the largest and most destructive Honkai in the history of this generation of human beings... The herds you see are just a prelude."

The hermit looked at the tide-like sea of ​​beasts in front of him, and his tone didn't fluctuate at all.

"But why Sirin and Medu Rishi..." Qiyana looked puzzled.

"Heh... isn't this obvious—the resentment accumulated by the pain Xilin suffered is far greater than that of Raiden Mei."

"...Compared to what happened to the Second Herrscher, what happened to the Third Herrscher was just a kindergarten kid crying meaninglessly after the ice cream fell on the ground."

"She tore apart the [heart] of human beings, put all kindness and benevolence behind her, and turned into a vengeful evil spirit. She wants to avenge the destiny... No, she, who has her mind distorted by Houkai, wants revenge The target will be—all human beings."

"So, Kiyana, if Sirin stands in front of you, how will you treat her?"

The hermit looked at Kiyana who was lost in thought, waiting for her answer.

"Second Herrscher Sirin, um...I sympathize with what happened to her...but if she stands in front of me, I will definitely try my best to defeat her, right! I will defeat her."

Kiyana thought for a while and came to her conclusion, then nodded seriously.

"Defeat her... Then what happens after defeating her?"

"After defeating...uh...I don't know." The hermit's second question overwhelmed Qiyana, who shook her head in distress.

"I don't know...it's okay, let's continue reading."

......

Outside the Tower of Babylon, a man and two women jumped off a transport plane passing by at low altitude, and landed in front of the Houkai beasts attacking Babylon.

It was a middle-aged man with white hair in a dark blue coat, and the two Valkyries were dressed in blue and one in red. After they landed safely, they began a fierce battle with the Houkai Beast.

"You don't need to tell me who the one in the middle is...your father, Siegfried Kaslana, and the two next to him are members of the Snow Wolf Squad A-rank Valkyrie "Grooming" Salome Jokanen, "Child of Chaos" Shabu Nicholas."

The hermit explained to Qiyana the two Valkyries beside Siegfried, but the girl just stared straight at the man in the center.

"It seems that you are very interested in your father? Want to hear anecdotes about him in the destiny?"

"An interesting story?" Kiyana turned her head curiously.

"According to the past rumors of Destiny, your father, Mr. Siegfried...touched the buttocks of all the Valkyries back then...well, an amazing record."

The hermit nodded approvingly, while Qiyana grinned, showing a shitty expression.

"How did the stinky dad not be beaten to death?"

"Who knows, it's just a rumor after all—and as a Destiny organization with more women than men, your father was considered handsome back then, maybe they didn't resist?"

The hermit shook his head indifferently, and looked towards a nearby hill, where the three anti-entropy people were standing at the moment.

"Walter Yang and the others have arrived, and this battle is coming to an end."

"Hey, didn't Teacher Yang fight with Dad and the others?"

"Walter Yang is not that kind of person..." The hermit shook his head as he watched Walter Yang flying into the air and manipulating the black hole to send all the Honkai beast cards on the field to the cemetery.

She took Kiana to the two men who were talking—

...at the moment the two men are talking loudly

"Please believe in my sincerity. I don't want to be your enemy. I will let my troops be stationed here. If you are not at ease, I am willing to accept any conditions you ask."

Walter looked at Siegfried in front of him and said.

"Well, it's not a wise move to fight the First Herrscher here, and then wipe out the entire army."

"And your eyes are the eyes of a man. I choose to believe in you and accept your help."

Siegfried held out his hand to Walter Yang.

"If this incident is really going to endanger the entire world as you said...then, what I really should do with my life is to stop it!"

.....

"As expected of the stinky dad, it's very Kaslana's speech, um... Mr. Yang who can be recognized by the stinky dad is not bad, although he gives me single-digit grades in history every time That's it..."

Kiyana crossed her hips, her tone full of pride for her father.

"You really don't have much to say about your history class scores being scored in single digits or even zero...?"

The hermit glanced sideways at her.

"Uh... how do you say that sentence... see through but don't tell!"

Baimao Tuanzi jumped angrily at the hermit beside him, but the hermit just shook his head.

"They are going to enter the Tower of Babylon to investigate the Second Herrscher's trace."

As the two men held hands together, the tense atmosphere just now disappeared, and the atmosphere began to ease. Several people entered the Babylon laboratory talking about the existing information.

"With Smelly Dad and Teacher Yang around, the Second Herrscher must have been easily subdued by them."

Kiyana clenched her fist excitedly.

"If it were really that simple, the second collapse would not be the most costly collapse in human history."

The hermit shook his head, interrupting Kiana's fantasy.

"Second Herrscher Sirin has absorbed enough Houkai energy during their entanglement and negotiation with Houkai Beast, and escaped from the Tower of Babylon... Soon, the real Second Herrscher will It's coming."

Chapter 73 Tell your vows and beliefs

"Hey, how did this happen..." Qiyana puffed up her mouth unhappily

"Do you think this is a story about a brave man slaying an evil dragon...The brave man gathers his companions and heads towards the dragon's lair, and the evil dragon obediently stays in the lair and waits?"

The hermit rolled his eyes under his mask.

"But they should be able to find Sirin soon. Your aunt's Judas is indeed a universal tool in a sense."

"Judas? I don't think my aunt has ever seen any other uses for it besides binding play and hitting people?"

Kiyana glanced at the hermit strangely.

"Then you have to ask your dear aunt if she forgot those skills...Come on, let's go and see the Second Herrscher..."

The scene was reconstructed again, and the hermit brought the girl to another part of the snowfield. On the snow-white land, a purple-haired girl fell out of the vortex, and was led by a mosquito-sized Houkai beast to a huge crystal. in front of the ball.

"This ball, so familiar?" Qiyana looked at the blue, red and white sphere, and seemed to remember something...

"I seem to have seen this in a book...what's it called?"

"Emperor-level Honkai Beast Ashibo, one of the Second Herrscher's family members. Oh, she's going in...Come on, Kiyana, let's see her past..."

"Then, make your final decision...make your true oath" The voice of these words was so small that Kiyana looked around her in confusion.

"There are mosquitoes here too..."

-------------------------------------

"Woooooooooo... Mom..."

A purple-haired girl stood in front of the hospital bed, sobbing weakly. The woman on the bed was already covered with a white veil.

"Mom... don't leave me alone..."

The girl lay on the hospital bed crying.

"I do not want--"

...The scene changed again, and several girls surrounded a black figure. His face could not be seen clearly, but there were ominous red spots of light.

"Both your parents died from a disease called [Honkai], but don't be afraid, our Heavenly Mandate organization will adopt you."

"In addition, you are very lucky to be born with antibodies against [Honkai]—for the sake of human beings, you are needed to help participate in some experiments."

"It will hurt a little at first, but don't be afraid..."

The ominous voice spoke comforting words to the girls in front of him, and stabbed the syringe full of liquid Houkai energy into the girl's arm.

"The pain tore the girl's nerves, and the experimenter just complained loudly that this experimental subject is about to be scrapped, she is just as useless as the previous experimental subjects—"
