On the occasion of collapse

After boarding the return rocket, Bai Zhi stretched out, pulled a bottle of wine from the stand on one side, and drank heavily from the mouth of the bottle.

What?You ask why there is gravity in space?

Could it be that you are doubting that there will be no gravity simulation in the rocket that a huge Bishop of Destiny is riding on?

Otto closed the cabin door silently, then walked to the console and started the return process.

"Boom." The rocket started slowly, and Bai Zhi slumped lazily on the seat, like a social waste.

Otto stood aside, holding a glass of red wine that appeared at some point in his hand, swaying it slowly.

"What's wrong? He looked like he was hesitating to speak." Bai Zhi noticed something was wrong with Otto. She approached Otto and looked at him suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking of some post-war solutions." Changing the topic, Otto knew Bai Zhi too well.

Although Bai Zhi is hundreds of years old, her mind is already very mature.

But Otto knew that Bai Zhi's heart was not that strong.

His sister is actually a childish ghost.

"What to do after the war..." After listening to Otto's words, Bai Zhi touched her chin.

"By the way, speaking of this, that brat Siegfried didn't act recklessly, did he?" Thinking of her lousy student, Bai Zhi's intuition told her that Siegfried was definitely acting out again.

"He was in chaos. He used the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment forcefully and was seriously injured." Otto knew what Bai Zhi meant and cooperated very well to tell Siegfried's 'heroic deeds'.

"I knew that brat wouldn't make people worry. I'm going to train him more when I get back!" Bai Zhi clenched her fists and looked very serious.

"..." Looking at the energetic Bai Zhi, Otto was even more unable to tell the cruel truth.

"By the way, didn't Cecilia stop that brat Siegfried? She shouldn't have let Siegfried behave like this." Bai Zhi touched her chin, her tone full of doubts.

"..." Otto was silent. It was not unexpected that Bai Zhi would ask this question, but he did not expect that he would ask this question so soon.

"Otto, I'm your sister, right." Looking at Otto's appearance, Bai Zhi also realized something was wrong.

She may be a little naive, but she's not stupid.

"Yes." Otto nodded silently, knowing that the truth could not be hidden.

"Then you shouldn't hide it from me." Putting the wine in her hand on the shelf aside, Bai Zhi stood up and looked at Otto.

"..." Without saying anything, Otto put away the wine glass in his hand.

"Cecilia had an accident, right?" Bai Zhi stared at Otto, and Bai Zhi could get the answer from his expression.

"Dead?" Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhi felt that she had guessed correctly.

"Yeah." Otto did not deny it and put the answer in front of Bai Zhi.

"..." Contrary to Otto's guess, Bai Zhi did not show anger or sadness, but was very calm.

"Tell me, what happened after I was teleported to the moon." Bai Zhi calmly sat back in her seat, her expression very calm.

"Well, after Sister Bai Zhi you disappeared..."

.......

"Is that so? Cecilia has released the holy blood in her body." With his head lowered, Otto couldn't see Bai Zhi's expression clearly.

There were no more words between the two. In silence, the rocket slowly landed on the landing pad of Tianming Headquarters.

The two walked out of the rocket one after another. Bai Zhi glanced at the staff who were still busy around and fell silent for a moment.

"Otto, I'm going back first. If you need me if you need me, just call me." After saying this, Bai Zhi did not stop and walked silently towards the place where they lived.

"...Okay." Otto just agreed and did not comfort or enlighten Bai Zhi.

He still has many things to be busy with. The battle with the Second Herrscher has just ended. As the Archbishop of Destiny, he needs to make decisions on many things.

.........

"Ta." Back in the room, Bai Zhi looked at Fu Ling who was sitting on the sofa waiting for her, and slowly walked forward, sat next to Fu Ling, and rested her head on her shoulder.

"Come back?" Looking at Bai Zhi who buried her face very low, Poria stretched out her hand and touched her head.

"Hmm..." Bai Zhi agreed dullly. Anyone who looked at her could tell that Bai Zhi was not in a good mood.

Without saying anything, Fu Ling stepped back slightly, letting Bai Zhi's head rest on her thigh.

Bai Zhi didn't speak, and Poria didn't rush her. She just gently touched Bai Zhi's head and gave Bai Zhi some comfort.

"Sister, is Cecilia really dead?" Thinking of the girl who called her Senior Bai Zhi all day long, Bai Zhi pursed her lips and asked slowly.

"...Well, she died as a soldier." Fuling was silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"...That's it." Bai Zhi knew what Poria meant.

Cecilia is a warrior, and it is an honor for a warrior to die on the battlefield.

Can....

If there was no choice, who would want to die on the battlefield?

"It would be nice if I had been more careful. If I hadn't fallen so easily to the Second Herrscher's trick, Cecilia wouldn't have died..." Bai Zhi's dull voice came out slowly. She felt that this was the reason why this happened. The cause of all consequences is because of her.

"Xiao Zhi, don't take all the responsibility on yourself, okay?" Touching Bai Zhi's hair, Poria understood how Bai Zhi felt now.

"If you want to blame, I, the guy who has never done anything, should be blamed the most." Comforting softly, Fuling didn't want Bai Zhi to think it was her fault.

"Sister, you are different..." Bai Zhi hugged Fu Ling's waist and buried her face so that Fu Ling could not see her expression.

"You are different... Otto and I don't want you to be involved in any disputes. Even if you are not a Honkai God, even if you have great power, we don't want you to..."

"But I, I obviously...should be the one standing in front of them to protect them from the wind and rain."

"I obviously should be their backing..."

"I obviously should protect them..."

Chapter 508: There is nothing you can always escape from, you always have to face it

On the other side, Theresa's room.

"Lady Theresa, after you left the battlefield in a coma, Siegfried and Cecilia began to fight the Second Herrscher, which eventually led to the Second Herrscher's core going berserk. The collapse released by the Second Herrscher's core The bad energy continues to spread, slowly affecting the entire Siberia. In order to prevent the disorder from getting worse, Lady Cecilia asked us to launch Honkai energy fission bombs."

Standing beside Theresa's bed, Amber slowly talked about these whitewashed 'truths'.

"Enough!" Clenching the quilt with both hands, Theresa interrupted Amber's words and turned to look at Otto, who was sitting by the bed, peeling an apple.

"Grandpa, is what Amber said true?" Theresa looked at Otto. She had never spoken to her grandfather like this before. This was the first time she spoke to Otto in such a strong tone.

"Theresa." Hearing Theresa's question, Otto paused in peeling the apple.

"Tell me, what is the truth?"

Cutting the peeled apple into small pieces, Otto put down the fruit knife in his hand, picked up the fork, forked a piece and brought it to Theresa's mouth.

"Is it what people want to believe, or is it the cause and effect of one thing?" Otto's words hit Theresa's heart word by word. She looked at Otto with confusion on her face.

"Maybe it's too early for you to say this, but Theresa, you have to remember." Otto said slowly as he watched Theresa eat the apple.

"What people want to believe is called the truth."

"As for the so-called causes and consequences, people won't pay attention to these." Looking at Theresa's silence, Otto knew that she still couldn't accept what he said.

"Theresa, maybe you are not satisfied with this truth. However, this truth is the truth that is most beneficial to Destiny. Moreover, it is also the best affirmation for Cecilia. She will be Destiny's hero and the hero of mankind. "Looking at Theresa's clenched hands, Otto sighed slightly.

"One day, you will take over the position of Archbishop of Destiny. Theresa, I hope you can grow up quickly." Putting the cut apple in his hand on the bedside table aside, Otto stood up.

"Amber, it's time for us to leave. We have to negotiate with Anti-Entropy in the afternoon." Walking towards the door, Otto had already taken time out of his busy schedule to come see Theresa, and he couldn't stay too long.

When he reached the door, Otto stopped and looked back at Theresa.

"Theresa, if you have time, go and see Sister Bai Zhi." After saying this, Otto turned and left without stopping.

"Ta." The door was slowly closed, Theresa looked at Otto's cut apples and recalled what he said in her mind.

"What people want to believe...is it called the truth..." Gritting her teeth, Theresa didn't understand. She couldn't understand Otto's words yet.

......

a few days later.

"Sister Fuling, is Sister Bai Zhi really okay? She has been on missions these past few days, and she didn't even leave time for herself to rest." Otto said with some worry as he looked at the report in his hand.

"It's okay, let her vent, she needs some time." Fuling also knew what Bai Zhi was thinking. She believed that her negligence led to the death of Cecilia and others.

She has been blaming herself these days. All she thinks about is if she had been more careful and if she had not been so arrogant.

"Sister Bai Zhi still likes to take the responsibility on herself. She is obviously not to blame for this matter." Looking at the pictures submitted by the Honkai Beast Wreck Recycling Department, the corners of Otto's mouth twitched slightly.

Although the Honkaiju remains that were recovered when Bai Zhi went on missions were also torn into pieces, the Honkaiju remains that have been recovered in the past few days...

No, it can no longer be said to be wreckage, it is fragments....

.........

On the other side, the battlefield.

"Click, click." The handle of the gun in her hand gently hit the rock. Bai Zhi sat on the rock and looked at the slowly approaching Honkai beasts in the distance.

Slowly standing up, Bai Zhi reached out and pulled out the pistol on the other side of her waist, and put the two pistols together.

"Skyfire, unsheath." The flaming sword blade emerged from the joint of the two pistols, and a flaming sword appeared in Bai Zhi's hand. She looked at the group of Honkai beasts and slowly walked down. rock.

Slowly walking towards the Honkai beast group, Bai Zhi raised the sword in her hand.

These days, whenever she closed her eyes, she could see Cecilia's smiling face, Siegfried who was seriously injured, and Kiana who was crying after losing her mother.

She felt that these were all her fault and the result of her carelessness.

Siegfried's body has not recovered yet, and Fuling has also gone to see him. If Cecilia hadn't used the Black Abyss White Flower to save Siegfried's life at the last moment, then the Siegfried they saw would have been... It's a corpse.

Of course, such a result allowed Otto to temporarily withdraw Siegfried's right to use the Heavenly Fire Sage. Before Siegfried recovered, the Heavenly Fire Sage was temporarily taken over by Bai Zhi.

"Boom!" The monstrous flames roared out, swallowing up a large number of Honkai beasts with ease.

The sword blade sliced ​​through Honkaimon's body easily, as easily as a hot knife passing through tofu, as if there was no obstacle.

Bai Zhi's figure walked through the group of Honkai beasts accompanied by flames. As her figure passed by, the bodies of Honkai beasts continued to fall.

Like the embodiment of killing...

.......

A few hours later, Bai Zhi returned to the headquarters. She was walking on the road, looking at the busy people, and stopped.

There was sadness on all faces, for Cecilia and for everyone who had died in this war.

Placing her palms on the Heavenly Fire Sacred Treasure at her waist, Bai Zhi cast her gaze towards the distant houses.

It was the home of Siegfried and Cecilia.

She had long known that Siegfried was in danger of escaping and had returned to his destiny, but she was not allowed to go out because of his injuries.

And she had never visited Siegfried.

In other words, she didn't know how to face Kiana and Siegfried.

I don’t know how to face Siegfried who has lost his wife, Kiana who has lost her mother...

"Second aunt?" A familiar voice sounded not far away. Bai Zhi's body stiffened for a moment, but she still turned around.

"Theresa? What are you doing?" With the same smile on her face as usual, Bai Zhi looked at the things in Theresa's arms and looked a little confused.

"Ah, Siegfried is still not in good health. I have been responsible for purchasing Kiana's food and daily necessities these days." Theresa blinked and said naturally. It seems that these days Teresa should have done this.

"Food?" When Theresa said this, Bai Zhi remembered that it should be lunch time.

"By the way, I'm going to Siegfried's place now, will you go with me, my second aunt?" Thinking of what Otto said to her a few days ago, Theresa planned to take this opportunity to let Bai Zhi come out.

"I..." Bai Zhi opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to refuse.

"Oh, let's go. Kiana will also be very happy to see you." Before Bai Zhi could say her rejection, Theresa came over. She took Bai Zhi's hand and gave her no chance of rejection at all. Chance.

"Then...Okay." Bai Zhi also knew that evading all the time was not the answer, she had to face it.

Chapter 509 The power of language seems very pale at this moment

"Click." The door was slowly opened, and Theresa had the key to Siegfried's house in her hand.

Bai Zhi followed Theresa and walked into the house with some anxiety.
