The Crucifixion Cross

Su Fei also learned a lot about Karen Kaslana's past through various channels.

At the very beginning, Kallen Kaslana was just an ordinary Valkyrie of Destiny - the "ordinary" here is from the perspective of "faith" - she obediently obeyed the orders of the Archbishop and Other high-level arrangements, wielding a huge Christianity, have made great contributions to the pioneering road of Destiny.

Until one day, the sage from the east bestowed an unprecedented defeat on Destiny with the fire of Niwa, and even the strongest Karen Kaslana was instantly killed without any power to fight back.

There is no problem with the development of the story until here, but during the period of returning to China to recuperate, Kallen accidentally learned that Destiny is using lonely and helpless children to conduct human experiments, and the culprit of all this is Kallen. Lian's childhood sweetheart and fiancé, Otto Apocalypse...

After knowing these things, this "chivalrous idiot" naturally broke with Otto immediately, and left alone with a high concentration of Houkai energy aggregates called "boxes", leaving only A distraught Otto is alone in Europe.

Karen Kaslana 500 years ago chose to betray, but if it was the Karen in front of Su Fei, she might not necessarily make the same choice.

It is really difficult to discuss the question of who is right and who is wrong between Otto and Karen. After all, although human experiments are inhumane, it is precisely because Otto does not hesitate to test the resistance and adaptability of the Houkai on humans. The delicate balance has given birth to the artificial stigmata and the Valkyrie transformation surgery, two technologies that truly change the destiny of mankind.

If it weren't for Otto's cruelty, in the face of the collapsed minions, maybe human beings would not survive the 21st century at all...

From a rational point of view, Su Fei actually agrees with Otto's approach, and Karen does the same.

The only one who can't stand this kind of trampling on human dignity is that Karen Kaslana in history.

But now, the distance between Su Fei and her is getting closer...

"Is this the place—"

Su Fei stopped in her tracks, her eyes resting on the withered old tree in front of her that seemed likely to die at any moment.

"It's been a while..."

"It's been 500 years..." Caroline sighed softly, "500 years ago, that idiot took over Judas' oath from the Man of Destiny in this grove, and sealed his lover in it with his own hands. Here——sealed in this Yae Shrine!”

Karen raised her head, her gaze seemed to have spanned 500 years at this moment, the rotten wood around her that may die at any time seemed to be revived again, and the mottled light and shadow filled the world again, birdsong, flowers fragrance, full of vitality An exuberant sight...

Vaguely, there seemed to be a gentle female voice calling softly in her ear...

Karen...

Chapter 31. The world reflected in the eyes of a girl

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of her, Kallen's eyes showed a sense of sadness.

The crimson torii has been corroded by the years into a deep dark red like rust, cracks and cracks can be seen everywhere on the rounded steps and masonry, and the silent and distant bamboo forest is so withered that there is hardly a single bamboo taller than two meters. It's like being cast a shadow.

Things are people, things are not things, and I want to speak and cry first...

Nothing can defy the power of time, not even the strongest immortal in China, especially this land.

After more than 500 years of time, the original vitality of this land has almost disappeared, and there is a stale smell everywhere.

However, although the place has been corroded by the years, the familiar and unfamiliar scene still touched the softest little world in Karen's heart.

Does it hurt?

No, that's not a feeling that can be described by a simple 'pain'.

Karen raised her head, and a hazy mist could be vaguely seen between her eyes, but the sparkling light was always hidden deep in her eyes, and did not turn into crystal tears.

Those aqua-blue eyes stared at the ruin-like scene, but what was reflected in her eyes was what the shrine looked like 500 years ago.

She pursed her lips, quietly left the bamboo forest that separated the shrine from the entire Canghai City like a barrier, and stepped gently up the cracked steps step by step.

She walked through the dilapidated torii, as if she couldn't hear the faint 'squeak' sound from above her head, and walked straight forward.

Karen's steps were very slow, light, and quiet, as if she was afraid of disturbing the gravel of the past that had been accidentally missed from the clutches of time.

That is not the pious pace of a pilgrim, but a prodigal son who has left home to find the memory of his past life little by little... Although, the real hometown of this prodigal son is thousands of miles away.

Whether it was Su Fei, Xingzi or Tifa, they all kept silent at this moment.

No one took the initiative to walk side by side with Kallen, and everyone gave Kallen the remembrance and nostalgia of this moment, and she alone enjoyed the sadness that no one else could touch...

It wasn't until Su Fei finished counting one hundred in his heart that he took the lead and followed Kalian's pace. Behind him, Kyoko and Tifa looked at each other, and fell behind Su Fei again.

When Su Fei came to the peak, Karen was standing at the top of the steps of the shrine, silently looking at the distant sky in a daze.

Hearing the sound of his deliberate footsteps, she snorted softly, and said expressionlessly:

"--too slow!"

Su Fei shrugged her shoulders, and she didn't say that she deliberately lagged behind to give Karen time to feel sad alone... But then again, Karen probably wouldn't admit this kindness, would she?

After all, she has always kept 'herself' and 'Kalen Kaslana' very separate.

Even if Su Fei took the initiative to point it out, she would probably use 'sentimental?Don't be kidding, that feeling has nothing to do with me, it's something like touching the scene... It's the power that only belongs to that idiot, right?Su Fei thought that she knew Karen's character quite well.

"This is 'Yae Shrine', right? The place where you first met that girl named 'Sakura'."

"It's the place where 'she' and 'Sakura' met for the first time." Karen corrected lightly.

Just as Su Fei expected, after a short period of sentimentality, Karen seemed to draw a clearer boundary between herself and Karen Kaslana... But it's no wonder, Su Fei would probably be the same do it.

After all, quite a few of the things Kallen did 500 years ago fall into the category of completely bewildering.

Playing the role of a strange thief with Otto, stealing goods from her own warehouse and distributing them to ordinary people who not only have no use for gold and silver treasures, but may even be targeted because of her generosity, Su Fei has never done it so far Understand how Kallen became a couple with the girl named 'Sakura'.

From the standpoint of a bystander, he really didn't feel that 'Sakura' was better than Otto at all.

Nothing to say...

Could it be that one kiss sets the rhythm of life?

Recalling the soft fragrance that was as warm as jade in her memory, Su Fei couldn't help but feel flustered, but quickly stabilized.

Just like Karen's decision, after all, it belongs to the fragments of the memory of the historical Karen Kaslana, not his or Karen's...

Closer to home——

If the lily love between Kallen and Sakura is still within the scope of Su Fei's understanding, then what she said when facing the Supreme Council of Destiny completely baffled Su Fei.

What's more nonsense is that although Kallen, who was captured back to her fate, had a miserable image, Otto, who had already prepared to rob the execution ground, secretly sent the key of Judas' oath to Kallen, and then found someone to take the key to Kallen. The debilitating potion that was injected into Kallen's body every day turned into a booster, but such a Valkyrie, who was only a cross and a set of two guns away from her perfect state, died at the hands of a mere Honkai Beast in order to protect the children ...

The strength of that Honkai Beast is not even at the Emperor level. With Karen's strength, it is definitely not difficult to fight it directly with bare hands, but she chose to change one life for another, which is the most unworthy. way of doing……

Apart from seeking her own death, Su Fei really didn't know how to explain what Karen did at that time.

The reason why the current Karen has such a strong sense of disapproval of her past "self" should be based on similar reasons, right?

Just as Su Fei's thoughts gradually wandered, Tifa and Kyoko, who were deliberately left behind, finally came to the shrine.

"The smell of Houkai is very strong..." Kyoko closed her eyes, carefully feeling the Houkai energy diffused in the air, "This concentration... is almost no worse than when the Houkai broke out in Canghai City."

"After all, there is a Herrscher who has been suppressed here for 500 years," Su Fei said, "The environment around here has been eroded to such a degree because of the existence of Herrscher, right? It's obviously a high-quality green bamboo, But it only took 500 years to become like this..."

"The name of the Herrscher of Corrosion is not just for fun," Kyoko shook her head, "Don't forget, that is the chief culprit that directly led to the demise of human civilization in the last era... If it wasn't for the Herrscher of Corrosion dying The previous counterattack killed 90.00% of the humans, and when hundreds or thousands of super-changing fighters swarmed up, the Herrscher might not be able to withstand it."

"That's right, but there are at least three Herrscher-level existences on our side!" Su Fei smiled. He knew that this operation was likely to be the same as the Herrscher of Corruption from the previous era. On the bar, that's why I specially selected a few teammates with strong combat effectiveness.

Tifa is already the strongest group of samurai that Mishima can send out to the field, and the head lady possessed by Kallen has also awakened as the third Herrscher, Herrscher of Ice and fully controlled the sequence ability , Kyoko’s Alpha beast is even more buggy, plus the soul sword in his left hand, the oath of Judas in his right hand, and Su Fei himself from the 2.3 version of Xuexia Wolf hanging behind his back...

With such a luxurious configuration, won't it be safe to win the Herrscher of Corrosion?

Spend zero words: Ask for tickets, ask for subscriptions, ask for favorites!The recent results are too dismal o(╥﹏╥)o

Chapter 32. The Sealed Land

After all, Su Fei and his party are not here for tourism.

After giving Kallen enough time to be sentimental and recall, everyone, including Kallen herself, officially entered the state.

"The intensity of the Honkai energy reaction here is not much worse than that of Canghai City where the Honkai just broke out. In terms of concentration alone, it is even higher... This land has been completely eroded by Herrscher," Kyoko raised her foot and stretched The slender high heels under the boots gently touched the ground, "Only us 'monsters' can stay here for a long time. For ordinary people, not to mention surviving on this land, even if it is just a little more Even the air may be corroded into dead soldiers."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Tifa shrank her shoulders, looking a little scared.

It's true that the Third Herrscher is a monster, and it's true that the contractors of the Family of Time are monsters. My young master is an existence above the concept of 'monster', but Tifa is an ordinary person!

Although the name of Fenrir, the wolf who kills gods, is well-known outside, compared with the demons and goblins around Tifa, she is really a harmless and ordinary OL.

Tifa and Kyoko have also known each other for several years, and she knows very well that although the detective Yujie seems to be serious, she never jokes casually when she needs to be serious.

Since Xingzi said that ordinary people would be corroded into dead men even if they took a few more breaths of air, then there must be no living people on this land.

Among ordinary people and even ordinary Valkyries and Mishima Samurai, Tifa is already considered one of the top batch, and has even touched the edge of "Majin Awakening", but as long as one day does not take that last step, The fact that Tifa is still 'mortal' will not change a bit.

Perhaps her adaptability and resistance to Houkai are the best in the million noon, but this does not mean that she can completely ignore the pollution of Houkai energy like the other three.

Staying in this environment for a long time, maybe she will also...

"Young master, should I withdraw first?"

"Don't worry, Tifa," Su Fei showed a relaxed smile, "With Judas here, you'll be fine."

"exactly……"

The spirit girl floated over and said softly:

"500 years ago, His Royal Highness Kallen concentrated all her strength on the oath of the perfect Judas, and turned the entire shrine into a prison for the Herrscher of Corrosion with her own power. Only by covering it up can the bamboo forest, the shrine and the whole sea be completely isolated."

She looked at the place where she had fought, and there was a bit of sadness in her eyes similar to Karen's:

"In the past 500 years, the reason why Canghai City has not become the lair of the Herrscher of Corrosion is because the power of His Royal Highness Kallen and his subordinates still remain on this land, suppressing the Herrscher of Corrosion... However, Affected by the Honkai outbreak, the strength of the seal is now much weaker than that of 500 years ago, if the seal is not strengthened as soon as possible or the Herrscher of Corrosion is completely wiped out, the sea will soon become a Honkai Paradise Lost."

Judas bowed slightly towards Su Fei, with a somewhat apologetic expression on his face:

"Actually, even if His Highness Su Fei didn't know the existence of Yae Village from His Highness Kalian's memory, I will try to persuade His Highness Su Fei to come to Yae Shrine."

"There's nothing to apologize for. After all, Canghai is considered Mishima's territory. It's only natural for me to contribute to Canghai's future safety. It's a pity that the current Canghai has been bombed to pieces... ..."

Su Fei smiled wryly:

"Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now, let's hurry up and get down to business. I don't expect that 'fart' to hold back the anti-entropy and the world snake for too long... Kallen, it's far from the real 'sealed land' How far is it?"

"Close at hand—"

Karen turned her gaze to the shrine behind her, and said softly:

"Since the entire prison is used to suppress the Herrscher, the core of the prison is naturally the core of the shrine hall—the hall of worship."

A complete shrine usually consists of many parts. Because the details will take up a lot of words, I won’t go into details here. You only need to know that the shrine is roughly divided into the main hall where the gods live, the worship hall where the gods live, and the offering of coins and silk. The coin hall is fine.

Karen will know that this knowledge, which is extremely uncommon for Westerners, is all thanks to 'Sakura'.

After sealing the 'Sakura' who was possessed by the Herrscher of Corrosion, Kallen left her body in the worship hall of the Yae Shrine. The samurai sword of "Sakura Fubuki" is enshrined in the coin hall, and the innermost main hall is the deity of the "box".

Sakura Fubuki is used to provide the power of the seal, the hall of worship is used to suppress the remains of the dead, and the final main hall is used to seal the power of the Herrscher itself... The seal set by Kallen back then is basically such a structure.

Fortunately, Raiden Ryoma didn't realize the secret of Yae Village, otherwise if he blows up the shrine together, then the following story will be fun.

The Herrscher of Thunder, the Herrscher of Sky, the Herrscher of Corrosion... This is simply the rhythm of a group of demons dancing wildly!

……

The closer you get to the main body of the shrine, the heavier the uneasy trembling in the air.

Leaving aside Karen who was leading the way, Tifa was already so scared that if she didn't let her hold Su Fei's sleeve, she wouldn't be able to go on. I felt that what Kallen said before was definitely not scaring her.

From the outside, the Yae Shrine is not much different from the shrines that can be seen everywhere on TV, and the interior decoration is also the same, but only when you walk in, you will know what kind of shrine it is. This is simply a living shrine. The Honkai Beast!

The Houkai energy that had almost condensed into substance flowed in the air, and it was so oppressive that she could hardly breathe.

"The power of the Herrscher of Corrosion has almost merged with the entire shrine..." Kyoko frowned, "No matter what the final result is, this place must be completely destroyed, young master, or something serious will happen of."

"I know." Su Fei pursed her lips, and the expression on her face turned solemn.

Originally, he was worried that bringing Kyoko and Tifa this time would be a big deal, but now it seems that this is not a big deal!It is clearly the rhythm of the last question of the last major question in the science and mathematics of the college entrance examination!

Although the seals of Kallen and Judah prevent the Herrscher of Corrosion from harming the world, they also provide them with an excellent place to gather their strength.

To put it bluntly, the power that Su Fei can perceive now far surpasses the Herrscher of Thunder who has been dormant in Sakura Island for two weeks. Even Su Fei has to be careful about the existence of this level...

Chapter 33. Ripples in the depths of memory

After Karen pushed open the door, the first thing that came into everyone's sight was an elegant cherry-colored long knife located in the center of the entire coin hall—the spiritual knife Sakura Fubuki, made by the legendary swordsmith 'Long Guang' with soul steel The Yu Ling knife made of the corpse of the Houkai Beast is also the carrier of the forbidden power used to carry Judas' oath.

(Note: It is not only the knife in the left hand of Mercy Omega that is called "Yu Ling knife". In fact, "Yu Ling knife" itself is just a collective name for a magic weapon in Japan, which can be regarded as a similar existence to "Yu Ling" , considering Sakura Miko's identity and the title of 'spiritual sword', Sakura Fukixue should actually be a Yuling sword)

From this strangely shaped Yu Ling knife, Su Fei could clearly feel a familiar yet unfamiliar aura.

Maybe it's because it took too long to suppress the Herrscher of Corrosion. Apart from the smell of Judas' oath, there seems to be a cruel and cold feeling in it.

There is no doubt that it is the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion.

Just as Judas said, the seal that Kallen set back then was almost one step away from being broken, otherwise even the magic weapon like Yu Ling Dao would have been tainted with the smell of collapse.

Well, if you follow the normal plot, at this time, there will probably be someone who is slowing down and accidentally pulls out Sakura Fubuki, causing the seal that was already on the verge of collapse to completely fail, allowing the Herrscher of Corrosion, who has been suppressed for more than 500 years, to rely on the power of 'Sakura' The body reappeared in the world, the two sides fought each other, and finally Su Fei raised a new harem... Of course, this is just a 'normal plot', and it is also a plot that only appears in novels, comics, and other film and television dramas.
