Postwar Arrangements! / Aein's Theory About the Previous Era! ...

With this, the Second Honkai War has come to a complete end!

Chapter 644 Post-War Arrangements!

"A salute to all the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the Second Honkai War!"

Two weeks later, at the Schicksal Headquarters, Ling Xi was also invited to attend the conferment ceremony. Before the conferment, there was a commemoration of the heroes. In this Honkai War, humanity had once again achieved victory, but in return...

Schicksal sacrificed one A-rank Valkyrie, hundreds of B-rank Valkyrie, and as many as a million ordinary soldiers!

At the same time, Siegfried, the most powerful male warrior of Schicksal, also perished together with the Second Herrscher!

Ling Xi was somewhat surprised by this result, but she could understand it, after all... Aponia had said that the tree would bring humanity and the Honkai into balance!

Therefore, on the side of the Honkai, one of the Second Herrscher died, while on the human side, theoretically, Cecilia, who was capable of contending with the Second Herrscher, should have been sacrificed. However, due to interference with history, Siegfried took that place instead...

Therefore, in war, people will always die; it's just a matter of who will be next...

Afterwards, Cecilia returned the Black Abyss White Flower to Otto and chose to retire. Obviously, Siegfried's sacrifice had dealt her a great blow. She planned to establish St. Freya Academy after retiring to take in and educate children who had lost their parents in the Honkai.

At the same time, Theresa also felt she didn't want to stay at Schicksal Headquarters anymore and planned to establish St. Freya Academy with Cecilia.

Otto did not refuse and gave his full support, while Theresa did not take back Judah!

With this, both of Schicksal's S-rank Valkyrie have chosen to retire!

However, Shigure Kira and Cheng Lixue have been promoted to S-rank Valkyrie. After being tempered by the Second Honkai War, both of them have made great progress and their strength has reached the level of S-rank Valkyrie!

However, since both of them possessed the Divine Key, Otto did not give the Black Abyss White Flower to either of them...

"Lady Cecilia, please accept my condolences..."

After the ceremony, Ling Xi went to Cecilia's house, accompanied by Sirin and Bebedragon.

"It's okay, he's a hero, and I'm proud of him!"

Cecilia simply smiled, gently stroking Kiana in her arms, without dwelling on the matter too much!

Seeing this, Ling Xi felt somewhat guilty, wondering if she had indirectly caused Siegfried's death.

After all, the Second Herrscher's enhancement was due to her interference with the normal main storyline; the Second Herrscher in the original history was not this powerful!

After that, he only enhanced the combat power of Shigure Kira and Cheng Lixue, which did ensure their survival, but...

The victim, however, became Siegfried, one of only two survivors in the original story. After all, only Siegfried and Theresa survived in the original work; the others... well, probably only Shigure Kira escaped by being pulled into the World Bubble.

All were completely wiped out!

This time, the entire Wolfpack Squad survived, including Theresa; the only casualty was Siegfried ...

His final, all-out attack was delivered with the intention of taking the Second Herrscher down with him. Indeed, no matter the timeline, Father-in-law is a true man...

"Ling Xi, would you like to come to our house sometime?"

Cecilia suddenly laughed and said, "You two are still so young, and you don't have anyone to rely on in this world, so... why don't you two come to my house? When St. Freya Academy is completed, you can come to the school."

"Forehead..."

To be honest, Ling Xi didn't want to agree, after all...

Well, it's quite convenient for me to be with Sirin, and besides, do I need anyone to take care of me?

Besides, the Immortal is still living with me now, so...

"Cecilia for your kindness, Lady Cecilia, but..."

Ling Xi smiled and declined, saying, "We'd better not bother you any longer. After all, we both prefer to be alone together!"

Sirin hesitated for a moment and didn't speak. Compared to Ling Xi, she was actually quite willing to agree, but...

Although it wasn't entirely his fault, ultimately, it was another version of himself who killed Siegfried, so...

She was also somewhat afraid to face Cecilia, even though Cecilia did not hate or resent her at all and was still as gentle as before. But it was precisely because of this that Sirin felt even more guilty.

"Hehe, it's okay, it was just a suggestion."

Cecilia simply smiled and didn't say much. She... just genuinely wanted the house to be more lively. She didn't care about herself, but... Kiana...

"Don't worry, Lady Cecilia, we'll come often in the future."

Ling Xi also laughed and said, "Dog... cough cough, Otto gave us a villa at headquarters, and Sirin and I will be staying here temporarily, so... we will come to chat with you often."

"Is that so... that's good..."

Cecilia smiled and said to Kiana, "Kiana, from now on you'll have older brothers and sisters to play with you..."

Ling Xi hadn't actually lied to Cecilia. The apartment she and Sirin bought was a two-bedroom, one-living-room unit. If it were just the two of Sirin, it wouldn't matter, but...

Ever since the Immortal and Bebedragon arrived, the room situation has been a bit of a problem. Although Sirin has managed to get Bebedragon to sleep on the sofa for half a month by coaxing him, Bebedragon has been quite resentful lately!

In addition, Cheng Lixue recently took leave to come to my house, saying she was accompanying her master, and then...

Fu Hua was also a little annoyed. With this girl around, how could he possibly contribute to the great cause of human civilization's evolution?

Just then, Otto gifted Ling Xi a villa, the one she had stayed in temporarily when she visited the Schicksal Headquarters last time, and said that no price was required, as long as Ling Xi and Sirin could stay at the Schicksal Headquarters!

After discussing it, Ling Xi and the others finally agreed!

However, this makes it even harder for Ling Xi to find a reason to beat up Otto, since... the Otto in this timeline hasn't done that many bad things, and this time Otto didn't launch Honkai Energy Fission Bomb, so...

Sigh, it seems like beating up Otto will have to wait until next time again...

And so, Ling Xi and the other three moved into their new home. At the same time, Cheng Lixue also tried to get Fu Hua to coax her into moving in as well!

Shigure Kira, on the other hand, went to Otto to apply for a new residence, arguing that her current home was too small and not worthy of her S-rank Valkyrie status.

Otto, always generous to his powerful Valkyrie, readily agreed to provide Shigure Kira with a new villa, with construction to begin immediately. Shigure Kira then drew her Seven Thunders of Retribution, intending to reason with the bishop. Finally...

Otto could only arrange for Shigure Kira to stay at Ling Xi's villa, and Shigure Kira only agreed under "very reluctant" circumstances.

Ling Xi: "???"

No, we have two S-rank Valkyrie, a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, a Herrscher, and a Fused Warrior with a Honkai Energy close to 3000 HW. What if they start fighting? Forget about our own home, we'll lose the Schicksal Headquarters!

Chapter 645 Ein's Speculations about the Previous Era!

"By the way, do you still need your research institute?"

That day, Ein came to find Ling Xi alone to inquire about the research institute. After all, Ling Xi was now settled in Schicksal, and judging from Otto's words, that guy seemed to have the idea of retiring behind the scenes. So Ein was also Ling Xi whether Ling Xi still wanted to establish a research institute in Shenzhou.

"Of course I want to!"

Ling Xi nodded decisively and said, "The research institute will proceed as planned, and... Ein, please continue to help with the funding."

"Okay, I understand."

Ein did not refuse. After all, if the research institute's funds went through Schicksal's account, then there would be no way to keep it a secret. So it was better to go through the Anti-Entropy route. Moreover, Ein was happy to pay this expense, even if it wasn't for the research institute, it was for Ling Xi.

"Ein, you should know about the Hypervariable Factor, right?"

Seeing that Ein was so easy to talk to, Ling Xi felt she should compensate her a little. After all, in the original story, Ein was a very reliable person. Both were top-tier human Doctor, but she was much more dependable than that lobster, and...

Now that I've intervened, the conflict between Schicksal and Anti -Honkai Anti-Entropy n't be so intense. As long as Otto doesn't go to extremes in his fight against Honkai, and considering my relationship with Ein, it should be relatively easy to integrate Schicksal and Anti-Entropy!

"Hypervariable Factor?"

Ein hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are two more, but we can't crack them with our current technology. Besides, the use of the Hypervariable Factor is too dangerous. You should have seen what happened after Siegfried used it."

"Those two of yours are probably just more radical experiments, belonging to immature technology!"

Ling Xi shook his head slightly. In the Previous Era, Mei had tried to develop a more extreme Hypervariable Factor, which was basically Hypervariable Factor that could directly cause the Fused Warrior to Artificial Honkai Eruption. In this state, the strength of the Fused Warrior would be greatly enhanced!

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the technology was not perfected before humanity was essentially wiped out, and the Hypervariable Factor in Ein's possession should belong to this category.

"Yeah..."

Ein nodded thoughtfully. Immature technology... that's certainly true.

"Ein!"

Ling Xi took out dozens of Hypervariable Factor, ranging from top-level to the lowest-level, and all of them were Hypervariable Factor from different Honkai Beast.

"This... Hypervariable Factor?"

Ein was immediately surprised, and her gaze towards Ling Xi became even more curious. Hypervariable Factor... Isn't this a technology from Previous Era? Moreover, neither Schicksal nor Anti-Entropy has been able to replicate it so far; the only Hypervariable Factor they've found was obtained through archaeology!

So the question is, where did Ling Xi get it from?

"That's right, it's the Hypervariable Factor from the Previous Era."

Ling Xi said quietly, "As for how we came to be here, I won't hide it from you. I brought it from the Previous Era, and I... no, Fu Hua and I are both Fused Warrior who came to this era from the Previous Era."

Ein "..."

"Whoosh..."

Ein silently breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly, "Although I had suspected this for a while, I was still a little surprised to see you admit it yourself!"

"It's normal to be surprised!"

Ling Xi shrugged and laughed, "After all, the Previous Era was at least 55,000 years ago. Even if it had been dormant for 50,000 years, it's still quite astonishing that a person could live for 5,000 years, isn't it?"

"Then... Ling Xi, can you tell me something about the Previous Era?"

At this point, Ein couldn't help but want to learn more about the Previous Era, because according to the data obtained from archaeology, the Previous Era was an era of extremely advanced technology, at least fifty years ahead of the modern era, and even a century ahead in some technologies!

But even such a civilization perished!

"This... probably won't work."

He hesitated for a moment, then gently shook his head and said, "The things of the Previous Era are somewhat complicated, and... if I say too much, and you know too much, it might have some irreversible effects on the future!"

Although Ling Xi trusts Ein, this girl is, after all, one of the leaders of Anti-Entropy, and her decisions can affect Anti-Entropy and even the entire world, so...

Ling Xi wasn't particularly willing to tell Ein about the Previous Era, because with this girl's intelligence, she was very likely to deduce that there were other survivors in the Previous Era, and she might even be able to deduce the base of the survivors!

"Is that so..."

Ein hesitated for a moment, then a smile appeared on her expressionless face as she asked, "Could it be... that there were other survivors from the Previous Era besides Ling Xi and Fu Hua?"

Ling Xi: "..." Holy crap, I haven't even said anything yet...

"Heh, it seems I guessed right."

Seeing Ling Xi's expression, Ein was even more certain that her guess was correct.

"You..."

Ling Xi looked somewhat conflicted and asked, "Hey, can you tell me why?"

"It's very simple."

Ein stated directly, "Because I can see that Ling Xi wants to fight against the Honkai. Therefore, if Ling Xi comes from Previous Era and possesses some technology, then she will obviously do her best to help our era, because only in this way can humanity better fight against the Honkai. However..."

"Ling Xi, although you gave me the Hypervariable Factor, I think it was more of a token of your gratitude and an experiment. Also, Ling Xi, you established a research institute, but you didn't require any staff; you just wanted it to have a certain scale, so..."

Ein touched her curly hair and smiled, "Putting all these details together, I deduced that Ling Xi was just a pioneer from Previous Era who came to our era, established a base, and then waited for the others to awaken, right?"

Ling Xi "..."

"Why."

Ling Xi sighed and laughed, "Okay, that's basically correct, but I have to clarify that the pioneer wasn't me, but Hua. After all... Hua truly lived for five thousand years, while I... have only lived for twenty or thirty years at most, and I've spent most of my time in hibernation."

"Is that so..."

Ein nodded silently. No wonder she felt that Ling Xi's personality didn't seem like that of someone who had lived for five thousand years. It turned out that this guy relied entirely on sneaking away.

"Speaking of Ein..."

Ling Xi grabbed Ein's wrist and slammed her against the wall, coldly sneering, "Since you already know my biggest secret, then... I think you should also be prepared to be silenced. After all... although the Previous Era and the present civilization both belong to human civilization, but..."

"Once the Previous Era humans awaken, a power conflict with the current civilization will be inevitable, won't it?"

Chapter 646 All we need to do is make Ein- in one of our own...

Ling Xi Ein against the wall, coldly staring at her, because... Ai Yin was just too clever, clever enough to threaten the existence of headquarters!

What I just said wasn't entirely unfounded. Although our current civilization is descended from Previous Era civilizations, however...

Even within Previous Era itself, there are countless power struggles, let alone the struggles between different civilizations!

This is also why Ling Xi doesn't want the Hibernation Pod of the Previous Era to be exposed. If that happens, then the current civilization's humans might find the Hibernation Pod in advance in order to maintain their own power, and then destroy or take control of them!

Of course, in Ling Xi's opinion, if the humans of the current civilization woke up the Doctor and the others, they would definitely be killed in retaliation. So... what Ling Xi just said was actually just to scare Ein, and she would not actually do anything to Ein!
