Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

The current civilization, North American anti-entropy headquarters.

Bronya's fingers flew across the keyboard, and images flashed across the screen.

"Bronya, are we still unable to find Kiana?" Seele asked with some concern, standing behind her.

"Yes, at least on Earth, there's no sign of that idiot Kiana. But Seele, don't worry. Bronya thinks Kiana is safe right now; she's just tied up with something."

"Ah."

"Mei entrusted the task of finding her to Bronya, and went back to World Serpent alone to investigate those matters. Bronya believes it's because Mei and Bronya share the same views. Otherwise, she would have personally done everything she could to find her."

After a while, Himeko walked in.

How is Bronya?

"No news at the moment."

"Sigh..." Himeko sighed. "According to news from Vienna, Bai Yan has also disappeared; and according to Nagamitsu's guess, his disappearance is probably due to the same reason as Kiana's."

Bronya paused, then turned to ask, "Himeko-sensei, is it possible that their disappearance is similar to Seele's previous predicament in the Sea of ​​Quanta?"

"Well, this question has stumped me."

“Bronya means that if they clash for some reason, then due to the special nature of that place, there might be a spatial leap. In other words, they could very well fall into a parallel world,” Bronya said seriously.

Ji Zi was stunned.

Seele reacted the fastest, saying, "Kiana possesses the power of the Herrscher of the Void, perhaps such power could be unleashed before the Imaginary Tree..."

Bronya jumped off the chair and looked at the other two: "Himeko-sensei, Seele, Bronya wants to try something, but this common sense may not only require extremely complicated preparations, but also involve certain risks."

Upon hearing this, Seele immediately became worried: "What kind of danger is it? Seele can help Bronya!"

"Just tell me what you need me to do, I trust you."

Bronya nodded: "We probably don't have enough people. If possible, Bronya would like to get help from more people."

Volume 1: Chapter 192: Attempting to Understand Further

Under the cover of optical cloaking, Bai Yan followed behind the two, maintaining an absolutely safe distance.

Thanks to my experience working in the intelligence department, I have learned a lot about tracking and infiltration skills.

At that time, because he didn't want to be cannon fodder but still needed to have some value, Bai Yan often worked on other skills.

After leaving the aquarium, the two went to the amusement park and watched a movie.

As dusk fell, the group gradually began to walk back.

It's not that Bai Yan likes it this way, but these two are just too important, so he has to pay more attention to them when they meet.

Back at headquarters, Alicia seemed to have finally found an opportunity and jumped in front of Kiana.

"The last match was interrupted by the Ninth Herrscher incident, and then overshadowed by a series of events. But actually, I've always wanted to learn more about Kiana. So, Kiana, could you spar with me and fulfill a small wish of mine?"

Although she was challenging him to a duel, her posture and expectations made it seem like she was inviting him to dance.

It was as if that battle was all about aesthetics and no violence.

Or rather, that's certainly how Alicia sees it.

Kiana frowned slightly.

When she first arrived in the previous civilization, her mentor, the witch, told her to stay vigilant.

As expected, an accident occurred, but fortunately the outcome was acceptable; neither I nor the friend I had just met were hurt.

After being forced to join the fifth squad, she gradually lowered her guard for some reason.

Because the people here, generally speaking, don't seem like bad people.

Except for Mebius.

If you disregard the era and the way they fight against the collapse, she even has the illusion that this is the place after she moved up to St. Freya.

But after Captain Fu Yan ventured deeper into the area, this feeling disappeared again, and she began to pay attention to and think about certain issues on her own, her vigilance returning.

From the moment Alicia approached her, she sensed that the other woman wasn't simply looking for fun.

Although the other person was indeed very beautiful and met her aesthetic standards, Kiana easily noticed this subtle intention.

However, Alicia hadn't shown any unusual behavior during their previous outings, so Kiana hadn't paid any attention to it.

Even now, the opposing team has proposed to continue the match that was not finished earlier.

Although the last competition was not completed, everyone basically knows the internal rankings of strength.

There was a period of debate after the artificial collapse, and after the Tenth Herrscher incident, the private debate grew even stronger.

but.

Kiana noticed that Alicia wanted to know more about her.

What is there to know about Kiana, besides her background?

Is it appetite, body measurements, hobbies, or game account and skill level?

Even Kiana's fighting prowess is largely attributed to her auspicious background.

Those who don't know her wouldn't make that connection, but those who have interacted with Kiana recently, especially those who have fought alongside her, are very clear about her abilities.

Space, fire, the power to create weapons out of thin air—if one's eyesight and understanding of combat are sufficient, one can even discern the power of death, as seen at the Aponia Sanatorium.

Discreet intelligence can lead to selective blindness.

Especially after Bai Yan showed his willingness to cover up this secret for Kiana.

And now, Alicia has brought it up openly.

Kiana pondered for a moment, then asked, "What do you want to know?"

"Kiana, don't misunderstand. I really just want to get to know you better because I think you're cute," Alicia said sincerely.

However, Kiana did not believe this claim.

In her view, girls who dress elegantly and have good interpersonal relationships are often unlikely to have pure intentions.

However, Alicia didn't hide it very well; even her St. Freya self would probably have sensed something was wrong.

However, I didn't sense any malice.

"A friendly spar is fine, but betting is not an option."

"Huh?" Alicia's face clearly showed disappointment.

"Looks like you're very confident," Kiana said, suddenly getting excited at her reaction. "But you'd better be careful. Even if you can do that artificial collapse, I'm not afraid."

"Uh...that's not what I meant. But if the competition is just about sparring, don't you think it's too monotonous?"

"Isn't sparring interesting enough?"

"Let's add a little bit of bet, that way we'll all be more motivated!"

"No! Gambling is wrong!"

"Add it, add it..."

Bai Yan overheard this from a short distance away and found it quite interesting.

For Alicia, even losing a bet with Kiana is a reward.

Kiana, on the other hand, had never won a bet before.

Mei, the only one who might win, resolutely refuses to gamble; she's a good girl.

As a result, Kiana often loses.

It seems he's learned his lesson now. Seeing that Alicia isn't a simple woman, he instinctively rejected the offer.

"Kiana has grown up; she won't fall for bad women's tricks anymore..."

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a while, but eventually, at Kiana's insistence, it turned into a normal sparring match.

Bai Yan continued to follow the two to a deserted open space near the base.

The open space is located on a hill, separated from the large headquarters building by two hillsides.

This place was specially created by headquarters to provide a place for fusion warriors to practice their skills.

Although it turned out that this wasn't enough, it was still manageable for a typical fusion warrior.

If it's just a friendly spar, and the power is limited to a certain level, Kiana and Alicia can barely manage to use it.

Alicia made a special trip to Velvi's place, only to find that the other party was gesturing with a weapon that looked like a lance. After asking her, she learned that it was the newly made Sixth Divine Key.

In the last battle, at Bai Yan's recommendation, Wei Li was sent by Mei to be her double, and also to bring the latest achievement to wait for Lu.

After that, her fame and treatment improved significantly, which in turn led to more and more funding.

If Mei hadn't specifically warned her not to mess around, then perhaps the extra-standard warriors in the Fire Moth would have been specially equipped with a set of anti-xx weapons.

Upon hearing that Alicia had come to borrow weapons, specifically for sparring with Kiana, Velvet became instantly excited.

During non-combat periods, the standard weapons of fusion warriors are usually maintained by specialists and are only quickly retrieved when there is a mission. Therefore, Alicia plans to see if Velvey has any interesting prototype weapons.

Velvi praised her, saying, "You have excellent taste! No wonder you're my genius friend!" Then she stuffed the Black Abyss White Flower into her hand and asked her to go watch the battle together, and also to record the data of the new Divine Key.

Kiana's expression was slightly complicated when she saw the black abyss white flower.

Volume 1: Chapter 193: A Bizarre Guess

"Vilvie? What's going on here?"

"Don't worry about it, it's just a test of the Divine Key's performance."

Velvi waved to reassure her, and then explained to Alicia how to use the Black Abyss White Flower.

"Although I don't agree with it, May insisted that Aponia participate in the creation of the Divine Keys, applying her [Commandments] to each one, saying that it would be better to control the power that way..."

Kiana suddenly realized what was going on when she heard this.

She murmured to herself, "So it was Aponia... I never expected that."

"No one but Aponia could do this, but I still secretly left a backdoor. The power of the Divine Key will not truly—well, actually, the Divine Key has become much safer overall, without diminishing its original power. If one day it is particularly needed, only a small password is required."

Seemingly realizing there was something wrong with what she said, Velvi quickly changed her tune, lowering her voice and winking at the other two to signal them not to spread the word.

Kiana's attention, however, was on the Black Abyss White Flower.

Before I came here, the user of this Divine Key was Durandal, and the previous user was Cecilia.

So, the first user was actually Alicia?

However, when Alicia looked at the lance in her hand, a look of hesitation appeared on her face.

dislike?

"Vilvie, is this the only way to make this Divine Key?"

"Of course, this weapon is now in its most perfect state; although for a genius like me, it is still far from reaching the limits of my design..."

Alicia looked at the Black Abyss White Flower for a while longer, then sighed and held it in her hand.

"By the way, it now has three rated power ratings. Now I'll teach you how to use it..."

Kiana looked at the black abyss and white flowers, and remembered something.

Even as time passes, the Key of God will travel along the river of time to the present civilization.

Because both Soul Steel and Herrscher Core possess a certain degree of resistance, they will not weather or decompose after tens of thousands of years.

But where did all these users, and even the former designers, go?

She had met Mebius, the scientist who hadn't changed much since then, yet it seemed that only she remained 50,000 years later.

No, there should also be a class monitor, but they seem to have very little interaction.

"Fusion warriors seem to have very long lifespans, but why are Kevin, Alicia, and others still alive...?"

Gradually, Kiana seemed to finally realize a problem.

The Fusion Warriors, whom we haven't seen in modern civilization, likely perished in the battles between the previous civilization and the Honkai.

Including that team captain, Fu Yan.
