Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

The boiling water infused the old tea in the cup, and the fragrance overflowed with ripples, drifting into the nose and reaching the lungs, causing Gray to feel comfortable.

"Sister Hua, I plan to go back to Foros."

"Is this the planet we visited before?"

Fu Hua looked at the tea in the cup, wondering what she was thinking. The tea leaves floated on the surface of the tea, like a lonely boat on a small lake. Hearing Fu Hua's question, Grace nodded:

"Yes."

"Gao Su sent me a message not long ago. He told me that you might come back to see me."

Grace looked at Fu Hua expectantly:

"Sister Hua, I hope he didn't ask you to persuade me to stay on Earth."

"The captain wouldn't do such a thing."

Fu Hua drank the last of the tea in the cup, spoke to Grace, and then poured another cup of tea and played with the cup in her hand.

However, Grace's next words caused Fu Hua to crush the teacup given to her by Emperor Minghuang of Tang several hundred years ago:

"Alisa is not dead. I saw her."

"What!?"

Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Graysh in disbelief. The blue-haired girl repeated word for word:

"Allysia, she's not dead."

"This is impossible!"

Fu Hua stood up. Grace naturally understood that speaking this out might make her very suspicious, but she still said:

"Alicea told me herself, Gao Su, you can believe it. I saw it with my own eyes, Sister Hua, there is no need for me to lie to you about this matter."

Fu Hua turned to look at the Herrscher of Consciousness, who nodded.

"She didn't lie."

Fu Hua thought about it and thought there might be other possibilities:

"Maybe he used the Divine Key, Grayshu."

"Yu Duchen?"

Gretsch looked at Fu Hua meaningfully:

"But isn't Yu Duchen in your care, Sister Hua?"

"No, it's no longer with me. The Captain is now in charge of keeping all the God's Keys."

Fu Hua shook her head, and Grace rubbed her temples. How could she not have thought of Yu Duchen in this regard?

"You mean to say that Gao Su used Yu Duchen to trick me, right, Sister Hua?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge spread out his hands and said helplessly yet lovingly:

"That sounds like something Gao Su would do."

"Ah."

Fu Hua also nodded, and then, a crystal purple hole opened up on the table. Then, a deep blue crystal fell down and collided with the rosewood table, making a crisp sound.

"It looks like what you wanted has arrived."

The Herrscher of Consciousness grabbed the azure crystal, which had familiar handwriting on it. As for why she felt familiar with it, it was because Gao Su had written words on everyone's body to some extent.

"Here, a collection of technologies from previous civilizations."

Throwing the azure crystal to Gray, the Herrscher of Knowledge returned to his seat.

"He generally doesn't force people to do things against their will. Of course, that's just the general situation."

"Any special circumstances?"

Grace looked at Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Knowledge in confusion, but soon, the pink complexion that appeared on their bodies and their silent response made Grace understand something in an instant.

She had seen this color on Dr. Mei and Kevin's brother before, so Grace wisely didn't ask any further questions.

"He said to have Herrscher of the End take me there."

"He knows the coordinates of Foros?"

Fu Hua was a little surprised. When did her captain get the coordinates of Forlos? Grayxiu nodded.

"Well, Sister Hua, have you forgotten? He was the one who brought us back personally. That place is Foros."

The Herrscher of Knowledge stood up, recalling their previous encounter in that world. Fu Hua, on the other hand, recalled how the captain had packed them up and taken them away just after they met Grayshure.

"Wait, so that place is Foros?"

"Yes, that's where the Ark was captured, and that's where the seeds of the Ark Project were sown."

Grayshu's words made the Herrscher of Knowledge sigh a few times:

"In the fifth century of this era, Kevin and Su couldn't contact you and believed that the Ark Project had failed. They didn't expect that the seeds had already been sown."

Gretchen did not deny her words, but instead told her own experience at the time:

"When the Ark was captured by Foros, my hibernation chamber was not activated. Wake me up, Sister Hua."

"Also, Gao Su also told me that the Ark was captured by Foros because someone was behind it, and that person has already been eliminated by him."

Volume 1: Did We Really Defeat Honkai?: Chapter 163: Is Alicia Dead?

Gray Xiu and Fu Hua were unaware that, from a place beyond their reach, Alysia and Gao Su were watching them:

"Oh my, I really didn't expect Hua to make it up to you like this."

"It's not to make it up to me, but because you died in front of them, Alicia."

Gao Su sat on the ground:

"After all, when people encounter anything unreasonable, they will first find a reasonable excuse for it."

“After people witness the unreasonable facts with their own eyes, they will slowly accept the facts that people think are unreasonable.”

Alicia shook her head and spread her hands.

"I don't understand as many profound principles as you do. Just think of me as loving you, right? My dear Captain, I can call you that for now, is that okay~?"

Alicia would not fall in love with one person alone, and as someone who loved everything in the world, it was impossible for her to fall in love with one person alone.

But the essence, as the tree of imaginary numbers, represents everything in the world:

"you love me?"

Gao Su took a few steps back, as if he was a little afraid that she would say this word:

"Of course, you can call me by any other name. The name is just a code name."

Gao Su shrugged his shoulders and looked at Alicia who was standing there:

"Besides, aren't you tired of standing like this? Why don't you sit down and take a rest?"

"Captain, what are you afraid of? You have to understand that Alicia loves everything in the world. All life is equal to Alicia~"

"Shouldn't someone like you be fearless? Why are you afraid of the cute, charming, and innocent pink fairy lady? Hmm?"

Alicia naturally found Gao Su's behavior a little funny and moved closer to him:

"Actually, I'm thinking about a question. How can I persuade you to let Su return to the Eigenworld?"

Knowing that Gao Su couldn't hide anything from her, Ailishia spoke frankly. Gao Su leaned on the ground with his hands and looked at her:

"You want him to return to the Eigenworld? Of course you can, but what's the price? What's the price you'll pay me to have him come back?"

"Captain, why do you keep talking about prices? Girls won't like you if you're like that."

Alicia squatted down, tilting her head and looking at Gao Su with a smile. Even though she knew that this red-haired 'man' in front of her had countless ways to refute her, she still chose to speak out:

"Okay, but I'm not responsible for the consequences."

"Um??"

Alicia blinked, then moved closer to the captain, breathing softly:

"The consequences can be handled by the beautiful pink fairy, okay~?"

A clear and energetic girl's voice rang in his ears, and Gao Su saw a sea of ​​pink butterflies circling and dancing in front of him.

Flying in various beautiful formations in the sight, finally, Alysia reappeared in front of Gao Su:

The girl's jade feet, wrapped in elegant long boots and black over-the-knee socks, sway gently, and her white and tender thighs, which are full of flesh but not fat, are extremely eye-catching.

The purple and white long skirt was slightly lifted by the wind, and the lavender pleated lining on the inside of the skirt could be clearly seen.

The uniform-like top perfectly outlines the proud figure.

The shoulders are half exposed, covered by a light black gauze. The forearms are covered with black long sleeves that look like gloves. It is obviously a relatively conservative dress.

The combination seems quite alluring. When I look up, I see a face with a gentle smile and long pink hair that spreads out like petals and blows in the evening breeze.

Her eyes seemed to speak a thousand words, and with the corners of her lips raised slightly, she leaned closer to the solemn figure and said:

"Is it nice, Captain?"

Gao Su looked at her without answering, his thoughts drifting away, as if returning to the moment when he first saw Alicia, the flower of humanity, blooming on the tree of imaginary numbers.

"Eh!?"

Seeing Gao Su stunned, Alysia's pretty face showed a thoughtful expression, and she tentatively reached out and touched his cheek:

"Why are you so silly... Is it possible that this fancy thank you that I finally came up with isn't working?"

Seeing that Gao Su ignored her, Alicia became more and more bold. She reached out and stroked Gao Su's head, and suddenly changed her movements.

Ruyu waved her wrist in front of Gao Su's face, grabbed his facial muscles, and twisted them with some force. Seeing that she was determined to get her answer, Gao Su muttered:

"Humans are very complex animals. They have richer emotions, more complex interpersonal relationships and social etiquette."

"They also pin their emotions on something, a familiar or unfamiliar person, to keep living."

"Compared to animals, they have distinct moral values ​​and a sense of shame, so they don't express their feelings like wild animals in estrus, but rather in a reserved and half-hearted manner."

"And the source of these emotions is largely the so-called 'past'. Things that were once owned will gradually transform into nostalgia over time."

"Maybe in the moment of losing something, you don't feel anything at all. You just think, 'It's gone, it's gone,' just like the eight ways of forgiveness for humans."

"But one day in the future, something might trigger that psychological chord, and the intense emotion will turn into a surging wave like the ocean, sweeping over the entire soul."

“The pursuit of truth is not without cost. Some people pay with their time, others with their lives.”

"Allysia, that's the path they chose. Are you sure you want to help them make that choice?"

Facing Gao Su's question, Alysia fell silent. After a long moment, she looked directly at Gao Su and replied:

"I think if people had a choice, they wouldn't choose to go down this path. It's you who made them become like this!"

"Kevin will marry Mei, Padova will run the grocery store, Hana will inherit the family martial arts school, and Sakura and her sister Rin will be able to live happily together..."

As she spoke, Alicia's voice became deeper and deeper. Gao Su came closer to her, looked her in the eyes, and said:

"Every moment on this line of time, people are dying from natural disasters, Alicia."

Alicia also became serious:

"However, the collapse is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. A natural disaster that is exploited by others is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

Gao Su smiled contemptuously:

"What does that have to do with me? For example, take the recent incident where Otto activated the Fourth God Key and caused a tsunami on the west coast of the United States, attacking Anti-Entropy. Can that also be blamed on me?"

Suddenly, Gao Su moved closer to Alicia, and they could feel each other's breath:

"Want to know why I exist, Alicia?"

"You do?"

"kiss Me."

Looking at the serious look in the red-haired man's eyes, without needing to confirm again, Alicia gave him a sweet and fragrant kiss.

Under her kiss, Gao Su's red hair gradually faded to the same pink as hers.
