Miss Surtr will ignite the world

Those golden eyes... I feel like I've seen them somewhere before.

"The red-haired one is the unidentified energy source that was detected earlier. It's on his shoulder. It was a strong Honkai source that was detected earlier, but it can no longer be detected."

"That's what the adjutant said."

"Does this mean the Herrscher has already been defeated?"

Theresa came to this extremely absurd conclusion, but the scene before her seemed to confirm it.

"What should we do, Minister Theresa?"

"Open the hatch, I'll go down first and make contact with them."

"Are you alone? The other person might not be your companion. Let me go with you."

A red-haired woman with an exceptionally good figure stepped forward and spoke.

"Don't worry, I was also an S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal before. I can handle any danger. You and Fu Hua stay where you are and wait for support at any time."

Theresa gave instructions to the two A-rank Valkyries of the Far East branch.

After all, she's a Herrscher; she brought the academy's main force with her.

"Understood, Dean."

The gray-haired girl with red-rimmed glasses nodded.

"Well, okay, be careful."

After a moment's hesitation, Himeko nodded in agreement.

Although the little guy in front of me looks unreliable, he is indeed a genuine S-rank, and he also has a Divine Key.

Moreover, the one below doesn't seem to be hostile.

On the ground, Surtr watched as the Hyperion hovered low in the air a hundred meters away. Then, a petite white-haired girl leaped off the warship, carrying a huge golden cross, and ran to her, maintaining a relatively safe distance.

Is he very vigilant?

Surtr was about to greet the world's cutest girl when Sirin on her shoulder let out a piercing sneer first.

"Heh... I wondered who it was, it's you, you hypocritical little dwarf. How come you still look the same after ten years? You haven't grown up at all."

His first words were dripping with sarcasm.

Theresa's forehead creased with a tic-tac-toe expression; even the gentle Theresa would be annoyed by being mocked by someone she had just met.

"You are......"

She looked at the owner of the voice, not understanding why this person, who seemed to be a Herrscher, was so aggressive towards her, and why she sounded so familiar with her.

Ten years ago, golden eyes, the Herrscher.

By extracting keywords, a memory buried deep in the mind is pulled out again, and even a mind inherited from the Kaslana family can be clearly recalled.

She finally understood where the sense of familiarity with the person in front of her came from.

Upon realizing this, Theresa's pupils contracted sharply, and she almost instinctively took a half step back, shielding Judas beside her, and spoke in an incredulous tone.

"You are, Sirin!"

"You guessed right, it is I, the Queen!"

The Queen was pleased by the other party's nervous reaction, and despite her current disheveled state, she still held her chin high.

"Why are you here? You should have died ten years ago."

Theresa's mind was a bit confused. Wasn't she here to stop the Honkai? Why was she seeing someone who should have died?

"Heh, of course it's because of your human ambition that you've awakened me from my long slumber."

Celine unexpectedly told the truth.

"Could it be Grandpa?"

There was no need for much thought; no one but her grandfather, the Archbishop of Destiny, could do something like that.

But why, after making such a huge sacrifice to defeat Sirin, are you now reviving her?

Theresa couldn't understand it at all.

"So you caused this collapse too?"

She asked again.

"Of course..."

Sirin readily admitted it, after all, her other half was also her, and in her view, triggering the collapse was a very honorable thing.

But Miss Surtr, who had been secretly watching, directly exposed her.

"Ah, no, that's not it."

The Third Collapse: Chapter Twenty-Nine - Breathing

"No, that's not it."

Surtr, who had been silently observing the conversation between the two, calmly interrupted Sirin's boasting.

"The one who caused the collapse of Changkong City was someone else. In fact, when I first met her, she was being beaten up by another Herrscher."

"ha!!!"

Her embarrassing past was exposed without hesitation, and Miss Pufferfish couldn't help but exhale in disgust.

"That was just my momentary carelessness. How could a mere attack on the half-body possibly harm me!"

It looks fake at first glance.

Even Theresa could tell that our Queen was anxious.

It seems that this is indeed true.

She turned her attention back to the girl in front of her. Because Sirin's information was so shocking, she had momentarily overlooked this girl who was capable of defeating a Herrscher.

That pillar of fire was truly a spectacular sight; even with her fusion warrior physique, the residual heat made her somewhat uncomfortable.

The other person seemed quite friendly, so they probably weren't a dangerous individual.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Theresa, the head of the Far East Branch of Schicksal, in charge of handling this Honkai incident. And this..."

“I am Surtr.”

"Okay, Surtr, can you explain the specifics of Long Sky City to me?"

Theresa asked.

It's Sirin again, and yet another Herrscher. This Honkai event is truly bewildering; she needs to sort out the current situation.

"of course."

Surtr nodded and explained to the other party in the most concise language possible.

"The Herrscher born from this Honkai is named Herrscher of Thunder, but her problems have been temporarily resolved, and even the gem inside her body has been consumed by her."

As she spoke, she lifted Xilin on her shoulder.

"As for Sirin, this body is named Kiana Kaslana. Simply put, her Herrscher consciousness has awakened and suppressed her original personality. Her father and I just went through a not-so-easy battle, which is why we were able to temporarily control her."

"...Wait, wait, wait, you're saying she's Kiana? Then her father must be Siegfried! Where is he?"

A moment of silence followed by shock; Theresa never expected to hear the names of her long-lost friend and niece in such a place.

Moreover, Kiana also has a Sirin living inside her!

What exactly does her grandfather want to do?!

She glanced at Sirin, then at Surtr; this astonishing information made her temporarily ignore even the fact that the Herrscher of Thunder's gem had been eaten.

"Well, Siegfried should still be nearby. As for Kiana, her situation is quite complicated. It's better to let him tell you."

It's best to let Siegfried himself decide whether it's the real or fake Qi.

"Okay, I understand. I'll ask him myself later."

There seemed to be more to Kiana's story than met the eye, and Theresa didn't press further.

After hearing that Siegfried had betrayed Destiny, she tried to find out about him, but to no avail. Now that she could see him, she naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass.

She was also very curious about what kind of life the other person had been living all these years.

"So, what's the situation with Sirin now? Have you subdued her?"

Theresa was puzzled.

Celine appeared to be unharmed, but showed no signs of trying to escape.

After all, in her mind, the power of the Herrscher of the Void could not be subdued by hand.

"I've temporarily sealed her powers, so she should be relatively harmless for now. But Sirin is very skilled at mental manipulation, and I don't know how to switch Kiana's personality back."

"Isn't this terrible!"

Theresa's tone rose considerably.

She didn't say anything about why she didn't just kill the other person directly. That was her niece, and even if she wasn't, she absolutely didn't want to eliminate a Herrscher in this way.

"Yes, it's really bad. I don't know what to do about it. What about you guys?"

"As for the branch, they do have tools that can infiltrate consciousness, but I can't guarantee their effectiveness against a Herrscher."

Theresa's face showed a troubled expression.

"We have to give it a try. Let's go and meet up with Siegfried first. After all, she's his daughter."

"That's true, but wait a moment."

Theresa glanced at the Hyperion behind her, turned on the communicator next to her ear, and gave the order.

"You stay put and wait. I will make contact with their comrades."

Siegfried was, after all, a wanted criminal by Schicksal, and it was not appropriate for him to be exposed to the Far East Branch's sight.

Meanwhile, several kilometers away in the city, Siegfried led three people toward the epicenter of the recent explosion.

Siegfried, who had originally planned to leave with a few people, changed his mind upon seeing the flame and decided to meet up with the other party first. There was no doubt that it was Surtr who had caused the commotion.

Unexpectedly, the opponent was able to break free so quickly, and the power was no weaker than the zero rated power of the Heavenly Fire, and might even be stronger.

However, at this point, even if the other party were to produce an Ahatora Zigfi on the spot, it wouldn't be surprising anymore.

Soon after, Hyperion arrived.

Perfect, I can settle them in before leaving. I just don't know if Theresa, that little dwarf, is on the ship.

Siegfried!

Perhaps because he was thinking of his friend, Siegfried seemed to hear the other person's voice.

Siegfried!

Okay, it seems it wasn't just my imagination.

Ahead, a little dwarf was waving towards him, while on the other side was Surtr holding Sirin.

On an open space.

Mei looked at the unfamiliar friend in front of her with a complicated expression.

"It turned back to its original form! Quick, bring out that arrogant bastard! This time, I'm going to electrocute her into a charcoal!"

Sirin launched a verbal attack on Mei, and without a doubt, if Surtr hadn't held her back, this guy would probably have rushed up and started fighting with her.

Mei felt that her day had been too surreal. First, her worldview collapsed, and then one of her friends was a time traveler, and the other had a dual personality.

Well, it seems she herself has a dual personality.

Her previous experiences reminded her of some things. If it were in the past, she probably would have thought this kind of setting was cool, but now she only feels resistance towards her other self.

"Can't you just shut up for a second?"

Surtr sighed and pulled the irritable Sirin into his arms. Did this girl have to say that to every acquaintance she met?

"Ha! What gives you the right to order me around!"

Sirin bared her teeth at Surtr; this was the only way she could express her dissatisfaction now.

Surtr ignored her, turned his head and glanced at Theresa and Siegfried walking towards him. It seemed that the two had finished exchanging information.
