On March 2000, 3, Theresa discovered that the dead tree outside the window had a faint green tint, a sign that it was about to grow new leaves. But Theresa did not hold out much hope for the dead tree's new life, after all, the weather forecast showed that there would be a violent storm tonight.

In the church, melodious and heavy bells rang out, and Valkyries and other Mission staff from all over the world, except those who were still performing tasks on the front line, temporarily put down their work.

Today, Tianming will hold an online memorial service to commemorate the Valkyries who died in the Second Collapse.

As S-class Valkyries who have saved countless lives and A-class Valkyries who have made great military achievements, members of the Snow Wolf Squad can naturally enjoy a certain honor after death, but more B-class Valkyries who died an untimely death can only leave behind a name, and some cannot even leave behind a name.

Not long after, after confirming that communications were smooth everywhere, Otto's voice rang out:

"I am Otto Apokalis, and I thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join me in remembering these fallen soldiers."

Otto took a deep breath and continued:

"More than a month ago, a terrible disaster broke out. It is no exaggeration to say that the enemy this time was very powerful. It could easily kill our loved ones and destroy our city. But the warriors of Destiny did not succumb. It was their succession and the concerted efforts of other like-minded partners that minimized the damage caused by the disaster. They are all heroes."

"But... unfortunately, many people, including Cecilia Shaniat, the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, sacrificed their precious lives in this tragic war. Their departure is not only a loss for Destiny, but also a loss for all mankind."

"Life is precious, but the essence of human beings is to sacrifice their lives for something that is not meant for them. I believe that the heroes who sacrificed their lives will not regret wasting their lives, nor will they be ashamed of their mediocrity. When their lives come to an end, they can proudly say: "My entire life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - to fight against the collapse and protect all mankind!"

"So, warriors of destiny, today we need to remember not only their names, but also their spirits. Honkai has not yet been defeated, and we still need to work hard. In the future, we may encounter new challenges. When everyone feels exhausted and can't hold on; when everyone feels powerless and can't do anything, they will become a guiding light, guiding all of us to continue fighting for the beauty of the world!"

As Otto's impassioned speech came to an end, prolonged applause broke out in the Tianming headquarters and the various branches. After the memorial service, each branch received an incomplete list of the names of the fallen, and next to the concise introduction were their black-and-white photos.

Cecilia Shaniat (1976-2000) was born in the Sky Mandate Headquarters. She was a professional Valkyrie. She became the youngest A-class Valkyrie in 1989 and the youngest S-class Valkyrie in 1992.

……

Theresa looked at this very concise information and didn't say a word for a long time. In this battle, a total of 1 S-class Valkyrie, 4 A-class Valkyries and 146 B-class Valkyries died, and another 32 B-class Valkyries were seriously injured and disabled, and could never set foot on the battlefield again in their lives. 30% of them were under years old.

Each of them had expectations for the future. When they stepped onto the battlefield, they were still thinking about going to the clothing store to buy new clothes and going to the dessert shop to taste new desserts after the battle. They were like flowers in bud, withering completely before they could bloom.

Theresa knew that now was not the time to be sad. As the strongest Valkyrie in the entire Destiny, she accepted the title of S-class Valkyrie and, like Cecilia, led Destiny to protect humanity and continue to fight against Honkai.

At night, as soon as she fell asleep, she dreamed that she went to the amusement park with Cecilia's family. This was her happiest moment in a month. In the haze, the strong wind blew across the earth, as if it was singing a lullaby for her, or as if it was offering a elegy for those lost Valkyries.

The next day, the wind stopped. When Theresa woke up, she found that the unknown dead tree outside her bedroom had grown green leaves after a night of wind and rain. She knew that spring had come.

She walked into the office as usual, and with the help of Judah's height-enhancing model, she was able to start looking at the documents on her desk. After reading just a few pages, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Theresa temporarily put down the work at hand and looked at the Valkyrie who pushed the door open.

She has long brown-gray hair and purple-red eyes. The ends of her hair have a brown-red gradient, and she has bangs parted in a 3:7 ratio. Her long hair is tied into a long braid with a white hairband and hangs behind her. She looks full of energy.

"Lady Theresa, the new A-rank Valkyrie, Ragnar Lodbrok, reports to you!"
