Cecilia and many other Valkyries sacrificed themselves heroically.
However, it's all worth it to protect humanity.
Otto concealed the reverse entropy, and the achievements of Siegfried and others wove a "truth" for the world that best served the interests of destiny.
"Next, Mr. Siegfried..."
Looking at the broken Herrscher core on the table, Einstein thanked Siegfried, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Thank you for bringing this Herrscher core back to me."
“Walter’s core originally belonged to you.” He slowly stood up as he spoke. “Moreover, I have sensed Welter’s consciousness within this core… I think he is still alive inside.”
We will do everything we can to "cure" him.
"...Mr. Siegfried, have you ever considered leaving Schicksal and joining us?"
Siegfried, hooded, glanced briefly at Einstein before looking firmly ahead again.
"I'm sorry, Doctor, I appreciate your kindness."
A gentle breeze blew by, and Siegfried did not linger.
"But I have a reason to go back."
"My daughter, Kiana, is still waiting for me to come back."
"Aren't you afraid that the common people will rise up and attack you, forcing you, the tyrant, to abdicate?" asked Void Treasury.
"Hehe, my plan will begin soon. Before that, all the complaints and anger from everyone will only push me toward success faster. After that, everything they have will naturally be meaningless to me."
Inside the Cloud Stone Palace, Xia Die lowered her head, deep in thought about a question she had pondered for who knows how long. Perhaps one day, she would be able to find the answer.
Headquarters of Anti-Entropy.
In the nutrient solution, a body exactly like Walter's former body was floating quietly inside.
Then one moment, he opened his eyes.
The First Herrscher, Welt Yang, has been resurrected in all his glory!
2005, Anti-Entropy Headquarters, Third Conference Room.
Tesla and Einstein were intensely engaged in calculations concerning an asteroid.
Ultimately, it was concluded that it would not approach Earth.
"Fortunately, this meteorite won't fall to Earth," Einstein said, leaning against the bookshelf. "If the silver bullet fails, we'll have to ask the Alliance Leader to control Alahato to destroy it."
"The injury he sustained five years ago has never healed."
Over the next five years, Welt's body slowly recovered, but the injuries he sustained during the Second Honkai Impact were far too severe. Even with the power of a Herrscher reshaping his body, he only regained a little over 60% of his power.
During this time, Walter went to Caltech and became a professor of space science.
He lived a peaceful teaching life until another crisis struck, and once again, he would save the world from danger.
"Then turn your head and look behind you."
Upon hearing this voice, Qingque turned its head around haltingly, like a robot that had failed to connect to the internet.
The person standing behind her now is...
My Lord Diviner!!!
PS: I plan to speed things up here, and then start the Lone Wolf character profile after about five or six chapters, followed by Onfaros.
Chapter 34 Himeko (Wait, why is this post under review again? ⊙﹏⊙)
(Thanks to IX环月 for the update reminder!!!)
Thank you so much for your continued support, dear readers!
[2005, Caltech]
In a space science class, Walter is explaining the thermodynamics of black holes to his students.
Outside the classroom, a red-haired girl was writing something in her notebook with her head down.
The phone that was lying to the side suddenly started vibrating.
Himeko Murata opened her phone, and when she saw the photo that captured the blurry, enormous figure, her heart began to leap with joy.
Finally, we have a clue!
"Jingle Bell--"
The bell for the end of get out of class rang on time.
"That concludes today's lesson. Don't forget to do your homework."
After handing out the assignments, Walter left the classroom and found a slightly secluded spot where he wouldn't be easily discovered, where he dialed Einstein's number.
“I understand, the meteorite won’t fall on Earth.” Valte nodded upon hearing this news. “That’s certainly good news, Aiin.”
"Yes, the job of covering your classes went very smoothly."
Suddenly, a red-haired girl ran by in a hurry.
Excuse me! May I pass?
Walter, who was passing by her, silently picked up the student ID that the girl had dropped in her haste.
"This is……"
Himeko Murata.
“I remember… she was a student in Ai Yin’s class.”
“You were my teacher in another world, which you never mentioned to me, Walter.” Himeko sipped her freshly brewed coffee and sighed softly, “You really are exactly like me when I was young. It’s so nostalgic.”
“Yes, she once had the same longing for the universe and the stars as you, but unfortunately…” Walter didn’t finish his sentence.
[In 2005, the third conference room at the Anti-Entropy headquarters.]
Tesla rushed into the conference room with a document in hand.
"Chicken-head, you absolutely must take a look at this document!"
That was the calculation report from Destiny; its calculation of asteroid trajectories was generally identical to the result of reverse entropy.
But what caught their attention was the appearance of a new satellite around Earth.
It is marked as the Fourth Divine Key.
In addition, the document also included an encrypted file from a man named Murata Ryusuke, who wanted to exchange information about the Fourth Divine Key for a chance to escape Destiny and join Anti-Entropy.
Somewhere in 2005.
Ryusuke Murata was looking at the documents and newspapers in his hands.
In front of him, a strange creature resembling a small marshmallow began to speak incessantly.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
"The United States... New Mexico, oh, I see. Are they researching aliens again?"
After a series of arguments, the strange creature stated:
"The Roswell incident is just a rumor; don't waste your energy on it. Once we complete our deal, I will grant your wish."
"The real... alien story you want."
The Imaginary Tree: "He" once touched the boundaries of the universe and explored the theory of the Imaginary Tree, but at that time he had not yet fully proven it.
Now, upon seeing a civilization capable of moving randomly on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, Lai Gushi expressed great curiosity.
Even if they appear very weak, technology and knowledge are not measured by this. Every civilization follows a different path, and perhaps their civilization has found an easier one.
Onphalus's calculations are nearing completion. Once the intellectual blockade is broken, he may once again embark on the path of exploring the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.
Scholars should naturally seek knowledge.
April, graduation season in the Far East.
Under the cherry blossom tree, upon hearing that familiar voice, Himeko exclaimed in surprise, "Dad?!"
"I thought you wouldn't come."
They walked together on a road lined with cherry blossom trees.
Ryusuke Murata apologized for only seeing Himeko's mail yesterday, since it was his daughter's graduation ceremony and he had to come no matter what.
"Himeko, with your grades, you could apply to any university in the world."
He wanted Himeko to go to Europe to study, so that the father and daughter could live together.
Unfortunately, Himeko rejected him, saying that she had already applied to Caltech.
On the plane, Himeko gazed at the clouds outside the window.
"...I'm not planning to study in Europe. Although living with my dad would be nice, I have a specific subject I want to study right now."
"That's right, I want to study interstellar travel dynamics. The future will be the era of space exploration."
The once passionate flame has long been extinguished by the cruel reality of collapse.
At least being a teacher is quite enjoyable now, isn't it? Himeko smiled silently as she looked at the promise Kiana made to her.
P.S.: Why am I under dynamic review again? Oh my god.
Chapter 35 Skilled at Hiding
(Thanks to Jing Qianming, who loves Spinosaurus, for the flowers!!!)
Thank you all for your support!!!
Inside the airport, Himeko rummaged through her backpack several times but couldn't find her student ID.
She can't fly without a student ID, how awful!
"Ahem, Himeko Murata. Did you drop this?"
Upon hearing the question, Himeko quickly turned her head to look.
"Huh? You're... Mr. Walter?"
Himeko still had some impression of this teacher who substituted for Einstein's teacher.
After their conversation, Himeko explained to Walter why she was going to New Mexico and showed him the photo on her phone that appeared to be of an alien.
Upon seeing the familiar, enormous black shadow in the photo, Walter couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Wait, Himeko Murata! I think this... probably isn't an alien."
Because that is, Allahato!
"Ah! It's getting late, the plane's about to take off. Let's talk about aliens again when I get back~"
Walter immediately called Tesla to confirm the news, and eventually, through some special means, he and Himeko boarded the same plane.
Amid Himeko's surprised questions, Welt borrowed her phone and confirmed the poster's location at the time.
Upon arriving in Santa Fe, with Walter's prompting, Himeko finally discovered the "truth" about the so-called aliens—it was actually a promotional poster for the Masoukishin Alahato!
Although I feel a little bad for Himeko, I managed to get by.
Walter breathed a sigh of relief.
And... thank you for your hard work, Ryoma.
This poster was drawn by Ryoma on the spot at his instruction.
[Headquarters of Destiny, Saint 7308 Research Institute]
Five years ago, Ryusuke Murata, who was studying at the university, was invited by Bishop Otto of Destiny to serve as the director of the Institute of St. 7308.
During this period, he was in charge of the repair work of the fourth Divine Key.
According to records, its purpose was not for combat, but for repairing "the world destroyed by the end".
After that repair was completed, it ran out of energy.
This restoration effort is aimed at repairing the Siberian plains that were eroded by the second collapse.
So, after everything was completed, Murata Ryusuke asked Bishop Otto of Destiny for leave, saying that he wanted to go back to America to see his family.
