Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

"After all, compared to the title of God of Earth, the title of Saint Kaslana sounds much better."

"Remember the history we learned at St. Freya's Academy? The destined Saint Kaslana will always bring glory and hope to the people."

"She will shatter the wall that is piled up by [desire], glued together by [interest], and that rises from hell, ripping the world of good people into pieces."

Gao Su leaned back on the sofa and looked at the ceiling of the lunar base:

"Otto praised the 'Saint of Destiny' too highly. Even Theresa's claim to the throne stated that she had the support of the Saint of Destiny."

"It's not because he loves the Saint of Destiny, but because his man happens to become the Saint of Destiny."

"Failure and humiliation make a man progress, and these two things will temper a mature man."

"Otto realized his own insignificance when he was young and unable to save Kallen."

"Just like the suffering we've experienced, since we realize how insignificant we are, we should become stronger."

"We are insignificant to begin with, and we are only becoming knowledgeable from ignorance. The pain you feel in the process of becoming knowledgeable is because you are growing."

“Facing difficulties and overcoming them, life is full of excitement, but at the same time, it is also full of regrets.”

“I don’t like to sing the praises of suffering, but I like to sing the praises of the spirit that overcomes suffering and overcomes difficulties.”

"Saints are not born saints. It is their attitude towards failure that divides people into different levels."

"Even in the face of adversity, you persevered and went, didn't you, Kiana?"

Kiana looked at Gao Su and did not refute his words. Over the years, she had heard a lot of inspirational speeches and truths, and they all made sense:

"It seems that you have a story that we don't know, otherwise, you wouldn't express such emotion."

Gao Su withdrew his gaze from her words:

“People always have to look forward. The past is just a motivation to motivate ourselves to move forward.”

Mei thought of something:

"Captain, Alicia once cut off 'fate'. Do you think there really is such a thing as 'fate'?"

In response to this, Gao Su seemed to know something about the inside story and said:

"Fate? Ha, all living beings have already grasped that thing in their own hands, just like what is said in the 'Imaginary Number Ring'."

Volume 1: Did We Really Defeat Honkai?: Chapter 44: The Coming...

"Captain, what are your thoughts on the design of the level boss for 'Imaginary Ring'?"

After finishing her business, Kiana turned on the game console and sat next to Gao Su with the controller in her hand.

Mei, who was preparing meals with Bronya, would occasionally glance over here, using her authority to eavesdrop on the conversation between Kiana and the captain.

Gao Su glanced at the "Imaginary Ring" he had logged into. Kiana had already cleared Delta, and the next place was St. Freya's Academy.

"The story is all explained."

"But why do sisters Rosaria and Lilia keep grafting Herrscher cores to become stronger? Doesn't this fit with their character?"

Kiana expressed her concerns, and when Gao Su didn't respond, she continued:

"Besides, they're now the idols that Tianming Entertainment Company is focusing on supporting, right? If this game is released, are you sure you won't be overwhelmed by their fanatical fans?"

The theme of Tianming Entertainment is magic and cuteness.

Kiana naturally knew about it. She even knew about the magical girl Durara, who was born in the Destiny Idol Project and was the counterpart of the magical girl Teriri, and was played by her own sister.

Although she didn't know why it was called such a difficult-to-pronounce name, Kiana couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she thought of her elder sister wearing the pink clothes of a magical girl.

"That's not the case. I'll just say we're collaborating with them and ask them to help me promote my new game. I'll just make an announcement from the company."

Speaking of the company, Kiana recalled the day when she was bored and occasionally glanced at the Earth:

"Don't go too far. This isn't the Great Collapse period anymore, so special excuses won't be necessary anymore."

Gao Su naturally understood what Kiana was talking about. He shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly:

"There's no evidence, and we haven't caught anyone. Just because he died on the way to the airport from Mihoyo, does that mean I must have killed him?"

"Besides, that company is a subsidiary of Anti-Entropy. I'm just helping Bronya clean up the mess and better reorganize Anti-Entropy."

Kiana pursed her lips. She actually did not approve of her captain's behavior of letting the other party die accidentally because of a small quarrel.

Although, that person did speak rudely to Bronya and brought the same domineering attitude he had previously used in Anti-Entropy to Destiny.

As an alliance organization, Anti-Entropy is as loose internally as Bronya's disintegrated hometown, and Kiana knows it.

However, the captain has done what he has done and it is over. It is too late to say anything now. I can only talk to him verbally.

But that was all that happened just now. She would not bind Gao Su in the name of love. He was not her slave, but her captain and her lover.

He could do whatever he wanted, but he just hoped that he could think of her before doing anything or making any decision. That would be enough.

More than a year ago, she and the captain were in the same classroom. He was their teacher and they were his students, looking forward to the future after defeating the Honkai Impact.

And now.

He and she still walked side by side, towards their future, towards a future that belonged to them.

Just like now, they were sitting on the same sofa, watching the same game, and discussing the same thing:

"By the way, my aunt was discussing with me a few days ago that because of your proposal, the Destiny Earth Peace United Organization is preparing to issue a recruitment notice."

"Don't we have enough manpower now?"

Gao Su felt a little strange. Why were they going to start recruiting again? However, what Kiana said next made things start to become a little abnormal.

Volume 1: Did we really defeat Honkai Impact?: Chapter 45: Stories built into the game

"There's no need for judges to have such wide latitude in their discretion."

After having a good meal and a good drink, Gao Su continued to explain to Kiana the terms of the newly formed Destiny Earth Peace United Headquarters:

"Also, we can't overly favor vulnerable groups. We can use Fu Hua's hometown as an example."

"If the other side has a knife and you don't, you are a vulnerable group. If the other side has a knife and you have a knife, but they want to kill you, you are also a vulnerable group. But if the other side doesn't have a knife and they chase you and you fight back with a knife, you are not a vulnerable group."

"When the laws there were designed, they didn't consider the possibility that vulnerable groups could be maliciously exploited."

"Furthermore, there is a logical loophole: can vulnerable groups that maliciously use the law as a weapon still be considered vulnerable groups?"

"There's no price to pay for using legal weapons. Once you buff someone, they'll be invincible, and even if they're exposed, there won't be any punishment."

"Plus, this logical loophole hasn't been fixed yet. This actually encourages vulnerable groups to exploit legal loopholes to commit organized and premeditated crimes. I can't let this happen to us."

Hearing this, Bronya looked at Gao Su:

"I remember that the captain is from the same place as the squad leader."

"Ah."

Gao Su nodded, and Bronya didn't know what to say. Every country has its own policies.

Just like every country has its own national anthem, Mei placed the cut fruit plate in front of them:

"Why are you saying this? The Destiny Earth Peace United Organization is supposed to deal with the governments of various countries."

"Although Otto is our enemy, we have to admit that he did make great efforts to help the Bishop succeed the Bishop of Heaven's Mandate."

"There is no doubt that Otto Apokalys made indelible contributions to the fight against the Honkai."

Kiana picked up a piece of watermelon with a toothpick, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, letting the sweet juice fill her mouth. Gao Su leaned over and lay on Mei's thighs:

"Otto's obsession led him to accomplish this series of things, but it was also because of his obsession that he left us many valuable and even unique things on his way to fighting the Honkai."

"Fu Hua once said that no one's life can be unilaterally evaluated from a single isolated perspective."

"What he did, whether good or evil, has left its mark on this world, and how to treat these marks is what we should think about more."

"For example, he promoted Saint Kaslana to a position where she could influence the dethronement and enthronement of the Bishop of Heaven's Fate."

Kiana, who was continuing to clear the "Imaginary Ring", heard this and slowed down her controller presses. She was then sprayed to death by a giant lobster-shaped Honkai beast.

"Doesn't that mean that if I had known about this earlier, I could have used it to depose Otto from his position as bishop? Wouldn't there have been so many problems later?"

Gao Su has a clear idea about this:

"You could think of this, but Otto couldn't. That's why he left the bishop's decree to crown Kiana Kaslana as the Holy Maiden of Heaven to Theresa."

"So, I had Theresa use the identity of Otto and Kallen's granddaughter to launch the campaign under the banner of the former Holy Maiden of Destiny, Kallen Kaslana."

"This was the political goal and tacit understanding I reached without meeting him, and it was also what he had always wanted to see."

Kiana used Honkai energy to disintegrate the toothpick she had been biting in her mouth. She looked at Gao Su:

"You mean, this is what Otto wants to see?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Gao Su nodded, and then continued to explain to Kiana and the other two:

"After all, Theresa is a clone with Kallen Kaslana's genes. In other words, she, like Amber, is an A3 series clone."

As he spoke, Gao Su took the virtual computer in front of Bronya, which was created using the power of the Herrscher of Truth and was currently working.

"I'll show you some reference materials I used when designing the game, and you'll understand what it means. In fact, sometimes, the sense of contrast that the game creates for people can also have a positive impact."

Gao Su's hands tapped the keyboard smoothly, just like playing Flight of the Bumblebee. Bronya, who was interrupted by him, sighed.

"Captain, the preview will be live in a few days."

"It's okay. It's all recorded now anyway, just don't get into trouble."

Gao Su gave her an apologetic look, then quickly exported the file and projected it onto the screen. He returned the computer to her, and soon the confidential document began playing on the screen:

"A-310 spared A-303."

"This strength and gentleness, in a trance, I really thought A-310 was Kallen's reincarnation."

"But reincarnation, for now, cannot be explained by scientific principles."

"Yes, apart from the fact that she carries Kallen's genes, there is no evidence to prove that A-310 has any direct connection with Kallen."

"But the A-310 is special."

"I decided to adopt her as my granddaughter."

"Name it..."

Theresa Apokalis

Otto, in 1972

The document was signed by Otto. Kiana and the other two looked at Gao Su in shock, only to hear him continue:

"And the A-303 that Theresa let go is Amber. Then, let's take a look at the next confidential file."

I pressed the handle, and the confidential file on the screen scrolled to the next page:

"Fortunately, it was only a tank-class Honkai beast that we had to defeat."

"I've also carefully checked the equipment she's using."

"We also put her favorite bitter melon juice in the food rations."

"The nun's skirt has also been thoroughly washed."

"Tsk... Have I been doting on Theresa too much lately?"

Otto 1973.12.23

"It's really rare that the bishop would keep such confidential documents and not even destroy them. However, doting... could it be because of Kallen?"

Mei gently stroked Gao Su's head, trying to find the key to the problem. Then, Kiana and Bronya seemed to be thinking about something. Bronya looked at Gao Su:

"Where did you get these?"

"He left it to me."

Gao Su turned his gaze towards Kiana:

"In his last words to me, he said that I was similar to him in only one respect, but not as devoted as he was. He also mentioned Mei."

"It's said that there was a woman from the Far East who was rescued by Kallen. She spent some time with Kallen and helped her through her most difficult times. Otto also said that he wanted to learn from me in some aspects."

Bronya followed her gaze and saw Kiana. With her understanding, how could she not understand the meaning of these words? She nodded:
