Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

Gao Su shrugged his shoulders, smiled gently at Kiana, smoothed her frizzy hair, and his purple eyes were full of tenderness.

"Hmph... Then I'll live alone with Mei and never talk to you again!"

Kiana suddenly smiled gently, tender and charming. She reached her hand into the imaginary space and took out a peach. Her pair of azure phoenix eyes shone with an intoxicating light.

Suddenly, under the bath towel, Kiana's body began to emerge with a purple light. Kiana looked at Gao Su, her smile getting wider, and she even made a face:

"I won't show you anymore, Captain."

"Well, that's a convenient change of costume, isn't it?"

Gao Su smiled, and at this moment, Mei knocked on the door:

"Captain, come out for a moment. I have something to talk to you about."

Kiana wiped her hair with a towel. She didn't feel anything was surprising.

"it is good."

Gao Su took her hand, and the two of them walked along the short artificial tree-lined path on the lunar base, stepping on the dead branches and making light sounds.

"So what does it look like after death?"

Meiyi picked up the question from before. Gao Su sighed helplessly when he heard it. How could there be any answer to such a question?

Even if He really explained to her the boundary between life and death, what could she do? Could she accomplish the feat of resurrecting the dead?

Talking about these things is mostly about philosophy, indicating that the mind is at the interface between life and death, He thought for a moment and replied.

"I only know what it is like to be dead alive—I wake, she goes, and the day gives me the night."

"I don't know what it's like after death."

Mei paused and continued.

"That's Milton's 'Lament for a Late Wife' you're reciting. Oh, if I die..."

"Praise this wonderful night and take revenge on me for leaving, because no one will come to compete with me for your remains in the hidden deep cave."

Gao Su continued to recite to himself. Mei raised her head and looked at him without saying anything.

"Mistral's 'Sonnets of Death,' right? It's quite famous. I didn't expect that you, who appear to behave in a barbaric manner, also have such an elegant side. To describe you as appealing to both the elite and the masses is probably the best way to describe you."

After hearing Gao Su's words, Mei turned her gaze to the azure earth. The sky was like a dreamy blue veil, with clouds gathering and flowing in the wind.

It was pure white, like the color of an angel's wings, like the hair of the girl she wanted to protect."

"But they cannot bear any pollution, they fly towards the sun, and the sun generously gives them light.

“I originally thought the world was very simple.”

Mei took Gao Su's hand and pulled him to sit on a stone bench nearby.

"When I was very young, my needs were easily met in my life, and at the same time, there were too many needs that were easily met, but even now they have not been met."

"Now that I've grown up, I sometimes suddenly think of the things I once longed for, but in fact, they have already become part of my daily life."

"Let's sit down and chat for a while."

She pulled Him to sit down and said,

"To be honest, Qianyu Academy used to have a tree-lined path like this. Wouldn't having a tree-lined path inside a school encourage students to fall in love?"

"Did you know, Gao Su, when I was in Qianyu Academy, eight boys confessed their love to me in one day?"

Mei smiled faintly.

"Really? Then it's a great honor for me to be chosen among so many suitors."

Hearing Mei's words, Gao Su smiled faintly and scratched her nose.

"Don't be so conceited! Do you think we look alike?"

Meiyi rolled her eyes at Gao Su impatiently and said coquettishly. Gao Su let her lean on his arms with a sweet smile, while Gao Su smiled calmly and asked.

"So, what do we look like?"

"What do they look like? Not at all! You suddenly came to Kiana's side, and you said you were only there to save her, to save all of us."

"Actually, Kiana was hurt too much back then, and that's what the class monitor did. But when I saw you, your sincere words made me not want to think too much about it."

"Because when I first saw you, the unprecedented throbbing I felt was real, but when Kiana left with you, that throbbing turned into an intense desire and became torment. For a moment, I thought you were trying to use her."

"But when we were in Changkong City, I saw everything you did. Kiana seemed to be in her element with you, without a single obstacle. Perhaps that's why I chose to trust you."

"I'm even wondering now, if you had appeared in her life earlier, would she not be in this situation today?"

Mei's eyes moved, and a bright look shone on her originally peaceful face. She stared at Gao Su, and Gao Su rarely avoided her gaze, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, Gao Su, who had not responded to Meiyi, finally lowered his eyes. A beam of sunlight hit his eyelashes, casting a long shadow on his cheek.

"Actually, I do have a purpose. I just don't want you to be heroes. As Herrschers, you've already betrayed humanity, and now you're betraying Honkai for humanity."

"Kiana has carried the blame on herself and hasn't let it go. I'm actually against the idea of ​​one person saving the world, a plot that only happens in novels."

"Can one person really play such a significant role? Can one person really save a world that has been devastated by this collapse? If so, then the entire civilization would be his livestock."

"Savior isn't a person; it's a title. It refers to a group, not an individual. After all, I've seen heroes who saved the world and defeated the devil selling their swords on the street."

"I've also seen heroes who defend their country and civilization sell out the medals they consider their honors for a living. This is the reality."

"Even if you save the world as Herrschers, what will people think? This is why I say I'm on your side. If you ever want to destroy the world, I will spare no effort to help you, just like I am doing now."

When Gao Su's words reached the savior, Mei stopped listening. She lowered her head, as if talking to herself.

"Bathing in the warm autumn breeze and sunshine, walking slowly in the time where light and shadow intertwine, no one is a savior, and there is no need to be one, but can everyone be a savior..."

Mei was not at all panicked, nor did she pursue more information revealed by Gao Su. She just wanted to simply believe the wishes he had told her, as simply as a child treats his favorite toy.

Then she stood up and pulled Gao Su forward. Gao Su looked at her back and asked.

"Where are we going?"

"There will be somewhere to go. With Kiana and you here, the future won't be so bad."

Mei raised her head and smiled at him. Perhaps the illusory world of Taixu changed with the mood of the participants. The scene that used to be full of summer was now beginning to become bleak with the wind of autumn.

Gao Su picked up a fallen leaf on the ground. The veins of the leaf were spread out like a palm, and the withered and yellow leaf flesh was withered and clung to it, with spots dotted on the yellow surface.

"Look at this leaf. Autumn is its funeral. For us, we are just sentimental. But for a moment, we will marvel at the beautiful scene built up by these deaths, just when the wind rises at the end of autumn."

"In fact, this world has always been very complicated. You can't reach the boundary of clearly understanding the meaning of life and death. You can't resist the human nature and darkness of the human heart that accompany time. People sing and dance under the lights, and release their desires in the dark."

"If one day you can understand human nature, comprehend the human heart, and be able to utilize them, then, with your status as a Herrer, ascending to the realm of God will be a piece of cake. However, by then, you will no longer be yourself."

Gao Su's expression was indifferent, with no thoughts, no ideas, no desires, and no requests in his eyes. He raised his head to look at the sky, clenched his fists, rubbed the fallen leaves in his hands as hard as he could, and then watched the fallen leaves turn into powder and fall, and said lightly.

"Since everything must perish and be destroyed, civilization, which flourishes amidst contradictions, must also perish amidst contradictions!"

"It seems you are still you."

Mei clung to his arm, smiling broadly as if she had confirmed something.

"You may know more than I do, but I think it's really very little right now. But isn't everything you do like this? It's all moving in a good direction. The same goes for Kiana and me."

After hearing Mei's words, Gao Su did shake his head, clapped his hands, let the crumbs in his hands fall onto the tree-lined avenue, and then sighed slightly.

He suddenly felt that the future might be changing in a subtle and silent way.

Volume 1: Did We Really Defeat Honkai?: Chapter 165: The Person Who Reverses the Timeline

"Is Sister Arlene happy?"

Suddenly, Mei changed the subject, Gao Su pursed his lips:

"Why are you spying on me?"

"I can't hide it."

Gao Su was helpless. He knew Mei Yi would never do such a thing. The only person who could do such a thing was a certain white-haired guy:

"Kiana asked you to watch it?"

"How do you do that pose?"

Gao Su quickly gestured to Meiyi to stop:

"Stop, let's stop talking about this."

Then, Gao Su continued:

"problem occurs."

"where?"

Meiyi was a little confused, not knowing why Gao Su suddenly said this:

"Destiny."

"?"

Mei didn't feel the accident he mentioned, however, in fact, it was the headquarters of the Destiny Base.

At the Destiny headquarters, the returning Rita rubbed the ice bead in her hand and sighed softly.

Contained within this is the Ice Herrscher Core that the Captain had stripped from the Star Herrscher Core:

"But all of this, as long as it's for Him, is full of meaning! After all, He is the only one to whom Rita has sworn allegiance with the chivalry of a knight..."

Rita shook off the Honkai energy powder in her hands and stood up from the edge of the bed, stepping on a pair of super high heels with silver thick soles. The azure blue heels were over 5 inches long, making it almost impossible for her to walk without using her toes.

Her hands were crossed on her plump chest, her eyebrows were as beautiful as a crescent moon, and there was a hint of determination in her long eyelashes and rose-colored eyes that were blooming with snowflakes.

"Rita! What's wrong with you? Why did you freeze the door!?"

At this moment, Yulandel's somewhat anxious voice came from behind the door, and Rita couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"I'm sorry, Lady Yulandel. I may not have been able to control the strength of the armor for a moment, which led to this situation..."

Rita walked to the door, melted the ice and snow, and bowed slightly to Yulandel who was standing at her door, placing her hands on her lower abdomen.

"Lord Yulandel, you..."

But when Rita stood up and looked at Yulandel, she was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong with me...Rita? If there are any sleep marks on my face or any disfigurement, it's because you woke me up from the cold..."

Yulandel couldn't help feeling puzzled as she looked at Rita who seemed to be hesitant to speak. She was woken up by the cold air emitted by Rita this morning, so she hurried over without having time to put on makeup.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with Lady Yulandel's face. Rita just thinks your eyes are beautiful...!"

Rita smiled slightly, quickly put away her surprised look, stretched out her hand, and gently stroked Yulandel's right eye, which had turned golden.

With a slight thought, he created a layer of azure ice crystals to cover the golden pupils without affecting Youlandel's vision.

Logically, this kind of situation shouldn't happen in Yulandel, which is why Rita was surprised.

"Well.....!"

However, when she finished all this and saw the pair of ruthless crystal purple eyes appearing behind Yulandel.

He immediately understood everything. He had been found after all. This state of Yulandel's body was a punishment for her...

"How heartless... Lady Yulandel..."

Rita's breath immediately weakened. She had already cut off her own foundation, and now she was forcing herself to cover up for Yulandel, but it only added a crack to the core of her body. This was her punishment!

Those who break the rules will be killed!

"What's ruthless...? What are you talking about, Rita?"

However, Yulandel looked at Rita with some doubts, and was very confused about what she said.

"I mean, Stan was ruthlessly abandoned by you..."

Rita covered her mouth and laughed softly, pointing at Stan who was walking behind Yulandel with a wronged look on his face, and cleverly changed the subject.

"You....."

Yulandel couldn't help but sigh at her adjutant who was acting like a fool. She squatted down, picked up Stan and put him on her shoulders, then looked at Rita and comforted her.

"Is everything okay? Rita, after all, the Herrscher Core isn't a good thing. You'd better use it less. The only way forward is to strengthen your own strength..."

"Ah, Lady Yulandel, isn't the Herrscher Core the power of one's own body? It's in my body..."

Rita blinked at Yulandel and looked at her with a devilish smile.
