People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

"You don't understand this." Xia Ling replied while skillfully stamping each document: "I'm not like some Long Aotian who traveled through time to build a harem or to rule the world."

"The story of Honkai Impact 3rd is a healthy, sunny, positive and beautiful story, but there are some regrets in it. There are not many things I want to change, only these regrets."

"So for me, apart from these regrets, other variables should be as few as possible, and it would be best if the story does not deviate from its original trajectory."

"After all, I don't have a second Stigmata Project to back up the world, nor do I have the confidence to make the story as beautiful as the original one after changing too much."

"Alas, this topic is a bit too much for a rainy day. Let's change the subject. System, I just asked you to scan it. How is Ji Zi's condition now?"

[Honestly, it's very bad. If it were the host, I might have directly suggested that the host restart. ]

[Her body has been riddled with holes by the collapse energy, which was caused by the artificial stigmata on her body, but the increase in strength brought by the artificial stigmata has saved her life to a certain extent.]

[And if the stigmata on her body were removed now, she would almost immediately die on the operating table.]

"How long can she hold on? Can the cipher board cure her?"

[One year at most. Even if she didn't die in the imaginary space, she wouldn't be able to survive for another year given her current level of erosion. If she had kept the injection of the potion for herself in the original work... then maybe she could have survived for a few more years.]

[As for the cipher board...it can be used, but it is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.]

[Her current situation is equivalent to being at low health and being covered with dots. The repair ability of the cipher board is more than enough to repair such injuries, but if this cycle of drinking poison to quench thirst is not completely eliminated, the cipher board can only help her survive for a few years at a time. ]

"Ah..." Xia Ling sighed, "This is really tricky... System, if the end of time is triggered, remind me at any time."

"As long as the cipher board can delay time... As long as there is enough time, I will be able to extract those items that can save her sooner or later..."

At night, after a busy day, Xia Ling dragged her tired body back to the villa.

Then, I saw Kiana, who was looking unhappy at the dining table.

"What's wrong with her?" Xia Ling asked in a low voice to Meiyi who was standing beside her.

"Kiana has been in a bad mood since she came back. She even only ate two bowls of rice." Mei looked worried.

“Two bowls??!”

Xia Ling exclaimed in disbelief: "It's over, this is severe depression!"

"Pfft..." Kiana couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Severe depression was cured so quickly, Sister Xia Ling, you are a miracle worker." Bronya gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, everyone, I'm fine, really." Kiana sighed rarely and said, "I just felt that Ji Zi was right next to me at the time, but I couldn't do anything..."

"Kiana... don't worry too much about Himeko. The academy has such advanced treatment technology, they will definitely be able to cure her." Mei comforted her softly.

At this moment, the door of the villa was suddenly pushed open, and Theresa walked in with a sad face.

"I have some bad news for you all... Just thirty minutes ago, the emergency center sent a message that Ji Zi... "

Several people stared at Theresa nervously, except Xia Ling.

"She is completely out of danger!"

"What a pity! I had hoped that the guy would learn a lesson, but I didn't expect that he would be able to recover and get out of bed in just one month."

"Speaking of which, Xia Ling, why didn't you fall for my trick? Was it because I didn't pretend well enough?"

Xia Ling's mouth twitched, and she handed Theresa a glass of freshly squeezed bitter melon juice and said, "My dear Theresa, have you forgotten something?"

"Most of the affairs of the academy have not been handed over yet. After you came back, you spent almost the whole day on Hyperion. In other words, I am still the actual commander of the academy."

"If something really happened to Ji Zi, I would have received the news earlier than you."

"So, dear Theresa, when do you plan to return to your faithful dean's office?"

“Ahahahaha… Well, there are indeed a lot of things going on recently…”

Theresa's eyes wandered, looking for someone to change the subject.

"Oh, by the way, I just saw Kiana looking so sad, did something happen?"

"Aunt, I..." Kiana whispered the realization that had already formed in her heart.

"I want to become stronger! I don't want to watch my companions get hurt like this time. I used to think that being at the top of my peers was enough, but this time, I found that my strength is far from enough to protect the people around me..."

"Heh, it seems like your trip to the East China Sea was not without gain."

Theresa smiled with relief.

"Then let me give you a hellish special training!"

Chapter 44 Xia Ling's Plan

"Theresa, are you planning to use your special training room for her?" Xia Ling asked as she watched the conversation between the two.

"Yeah, didn't I use it on you before?"

"I just think that the intensity of that training room is a bit too high for Kiana. After all, the lowest difficulty there is at the level of a B-rank Valkyrie."

Xia Ling recalled the simulated opponents she had fought in it. She had to say that Otto really doted on Theresa. Xia Ling even saw the simulated data of Otto himself and Li Suchang in the database at that time.

"But...never mind, I'll go out with you guys."

"Eh? Xia Ling is going out so late?" Theresa was a little confused.

"It's all because of you!" Xia Ling said viciously, "When I transferred the authority to you, I told you to just apply for a proxy authority for me, but you insisted on changing the dean's certification ID to mine."

"There's also a dedicated training room. You're the dean now, so you can use the dean's training room."

"Ah... isn't it because the approval of proxy authority is too troublesome? It's more convenient to directly transfer the authority to the dean. After all, I've asked Ji Zi to do this many times before..." Theresa looked away guiltily.

"At first, my grandfather asked about it a few times, but later he simply gave me the authority to replace the dean. Anyway, I usually just use this to get away with it..."

"...Otto really dotes on you."

"Anyway, I just happened to be going back to the teaching building to pick up something, so I opened the training room for you and then handed over the authority to you."

Xia Ling picked up the teacher's terminal and said to Bronya and Mei, "You two can play for a while. I'll be back soon."

"Well, Sister Xia Ling, take care."

Walking along the academy's streets with Theresa and Kiana, Xia Ling raised a smile as she watched everything go as planned.

In the original work, the clone of Walter Joyce, the first acting Herrscher and leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, will raid St. Freya's College tonight with the purpose of snatching the Herrscher of Lightning's body, Raiden Mei.

However, this is only the apparent purpose of Anti-Entropy. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the replicas, Cocolia and Einstein will take the opportunity to sneak into St. Freya's College and invade the laboratory under the Central Cathedral.

Theresa will definitely prioritize protecting the laboratory, and at this time, Aiyin can reveal the secrets in the laboratory to her and complete a deal with Theresa.

But after Xia Ling appeared in Saint Freya, a loophole appeared in this originally perfect transaction.

As a discarded pawn in the plan, the role of the clone is to delay enough time for both parties, but this clone is not very smart and its strength is not too weak.

In the original work, after Mei and Ya Ya were defeated, Fu Hua, who was observing secretly, appeared and delayed the clone for a while, then pretended to be defeated. Mei's Herrscher personality took over, and finally Kiana rushed back to complete the battle.

But if Xia Ling was here, the situation would be different. Even if Xia Ling only used the strength of an A-level Valkyrie that Fu Hua knew (only Ji Zi and Theresa knew that Xia Ling's true level was S-level), Xia Ling could easily deal with the clone by relying on her ability restraint.

Then, as Otto's undercover agent, Fu Hua, who has spared her role, is likely to receive a notice from Otto and also go to guard the Central Cathedral.

In the original work, Cocolia rushed forward with only three Titans. With this kind of combat power, it was considered an extraordinary performance for her to hold on for three seconds in front of Fu Hua who used her true strength.

Therefore, in order to prevent Fu Hua from ruining the deal, Xia Ling must leave the villa, and then pretend to be defeated by Fu Hua, and then show up at this juncture when Mei's second personality appears.

In this case, Fu Hua couldn't just get up and leave immediately after pretending to be seriously injured and fall to the ground, and then secretly go to the cathedral.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Dong dong dong."

The two people who were playing games in the living room turned their heads and looked towards the door.

"Sister Xia Ling is back so soon?" Mei stood up and opened the door, only to find a suspicious man wearing a large hooded sweater standing outside the door.

"Sorry to bother you so late at night."

"I am the new secretary of Principal Theresa. The principal needs Miss Mei to go to her office now."

Looking at the man whose every ounce of suspicion was written all over him, Mei and Bronya fell silent for a moment.

"Well, putting aside whether the dean will hire a male secretary like you, is there a possibility that the dean is not in St. Freya these days?"

Bronya has summoned the heavily-armored Bunny, and Mei has picked up a long sword and is on guard.

"I haven't heard Sister Xia Ling say that there's a new colleague recently."

"..."

"Oh my, this is troublesome."

Seeing his lie being exposed, the suspicious man didn't seem to panic at all.

"I didn't want to do it, but if that's the case..."

Before he finished speaking, the heavy artillery in the Heavy-Armored Bunny's hand began to burst into light, and a beam of heavy particle cannon interrupted the suspicious man's words.

As the smoke cleared, the effect of this bombardment was only to blow off his hood, revealing a face that was exactly the same as that of Joyce, the first leader of Anti-Entropy.

Purple-black Honkai energy surged around his body, and at the same time, Mei also appeared, who had been subdued and controlled in an instant.

"Sister Mei!"

"Little rabbit, you should worry about yourself first."

The replica Joyce snapped his fingers, and a heavy pressure immediately pressed Bronya to the ground. The heavy-armored Bunny stood in front of her, confronting the replica vigilantly.

Although the ability of this clone is not that strong, it can still easily defeat the two people who have not yet advanced to B-level Valkyrie.

"Hmph, you should thank your mother. If Lord Kokolia hadn't repeatedly asked me not to kill you before coming here..."

At this moment, accompanied by a gust of strong wind, the clone's words were interrupted again.

The one who showed up this time was Fu Hua.

However, the powerful punch did not land on his head, but was blocked by an invisible repulsive force.

"Oh? It seems that there are still some powerful ones among the Valkyries of Destiny..."

......

Not far outside the villa, Xia Ling, wearing a raincoat for catching fish, watched the battle from afar.

After the experience of being discovered by Xier last time, Xia Ling simply stood still this time to avoid being discovered by reasons such as sensing air movement.

"My God, Hua was beating like that, afraid that he might accidentally kill the clone."

"So, how bad is this clone? After copying for so long, it doesn't even know the abilities of the Ruler of Reason. Its ability to control gravity comes from the Key of God, the Star of Eden, which Reason once studied."

"All I can say is that the orthodoxy of rock law lies in rational law."

"Star of Eden? So this is the name of the Harmony of the Stars in modern civilization?" Ellie's voice rang out in the channel. Because she was going to meet a lot of old acquaintances today, the curious fairy lady decisively turned on the screen peeking mode and paid attention to the situation in the distance with Xia Ling.

"Yes, this name was found when Anti-Entropy dug out the Key of God. The reason why it was changed to this name seems to be to commemorate Sister Eden."

"Did you see the guy who was fighting the clone? How about it? Has Hua changed a lot?"

"Indeed... Although her skills have improved a lot compared to 50,000 years ago, her current strength... Hua must have gone through a lot over the years."

"That's a long story... Anyway, Hua is now in a state where his sword heart is broken and his body is injured. If he wants to use his former strength, he has to rely on Yu Duchen to burn his memory."

"The worse news is that her memory may have been almost burned out over the years. I'm not even sure if she still remembers you."

"However, her acting skills are much better now. I can only say that our honest man has also learned a little bit of worldly wisdom."

Xia Ling pointed at Fu Hua who was pretending to be knocked to the ground: "Look, how neatly she lies down."

"So, is Xiao Xia Ling going to make an appearance?"

"Of course, if he is truly the Ruler of Reason, then I may not be able to defeat him."

Xia Ling put away the scale-catching net and another collection appeared in her hand.

"But if he is only capable of manipulating a hundred times the gravity at most... then even if Cocolia sends all her clones to me, I can still easily deal with him."

Chapter 45: Okay, you use gravity control and I also use gravity control

"Oh, it's quite difficult."

Looking at Fu Hua falling to the side, the clone Joyce shook his hands in disdain.

"Unfortunately, once I use my true strength, guys like you will be crushed instantly by my hundred times gravity!"

"So, go to hell!"
