At this moment, information called "danger" had filled Schwarz's data, and he even felt an emotion called "fear" towards the "human woman" in front of him.

That strange power could destroy him in an instant, and it could also snatch Clara away from him in an instant.

But the other party did not do that; instead, they gave him a “demonstration”... This was either a warning or a “proof” to him.

They demonstrate their ability to "change" in a direct and straightforward manner.

"Threat assessment in progress... Threat level, undetermined."

“Outsider, I acknowledge your power, but… what you are seeking is the deepest secret of this planet, a secret that humanity should not know.”

Schwarz turned around and spoke in a deep voice to Kiana, who was walking out of the portal.

"But, clearly, it's recorded in your database, and we've come to verify its existence, as it concerns the present state of this planet..."

At this point, Kiana's gaze swept over Clara behind Swallow, and then turned to Seele and Bronya on the other side.

"Similarly, it concerns the future of this planet!"

"Let's be frank, Schwarz, we need information about the star core!"

Kiana pointed directly at Schwarz and said, "Clearly, there must be information related to the Star Core hidden in Schwarz's database!"

"future……"

Clearly, the word "future" disrupted Schwarz's data, and the weight of those two words was particularly heavy for him, who had already calculated the fate of this planet.

He lowered his head, ignoring the warning about the word "Star Core," and gently stroked Clara's hair with his cold, mechanical hand. In his scarlet electronic eyes, a rare spark of emotion belonging to "life" flashed.

He was thinking, or rather, he was pondering the true value of the word "future".

"Mr. Schwarz! Please, just tell them everything!"

Seeing this, Clara again tried to persuade Schwarz.

Although she hadn't spent much time with Kiana and the others, she could definitely sense that they were there to change the world.

Although Kiana caused a lot of trouble with her portals, she also made the lower levels more harmonious.

If it weren't for Kiana and the others' help, many people in the settlement would still be suffering from their injuries...

She didn't want this place to be filled with pain again, nor did she want to... part ways with Mr. Schwarz at the end of the time he spoke of!

"Mr. Schwarz, could you tell everyone about the Star Core? It's to fulfill Clara's wish!"

"Clara..."

Schwarz's electronic eyes flashed in response to Clara's request.

From the very beginning, he had ignored the attack commands within the program, precisely because he feared that the fight would affect Clara.

The other party's power far exceeded his level of existence, yet he was able to negotiate "fairly" with it for the sake of the planet's future.

Perhaps... they really can bring about "change" to this planet.

"Data is being reorganized... Variable analysis in progress. Variable one: Clara's request; Variable two: motivation..."

Assessment Update: Decision-making authority is transferred to outsiders, and access to information related to the [Star Core] is permitted.

Ultimately, Schwarzroth compromised.

The anticipated conflict did not occur due to Kiana's actions, and as a result, everyone was able to learn the "truth" about Belloberg through Schwarz.

But for some, the truth can cause unimaginable pain...

Thus, this pioneering journey will come to its final chapter.

But next time...

Kiana looked at the group of people who were preparing and sighed softly.

I shouldn't use the Herrscher of the Void's powers so frequently in the future.

I have a feeling that simply taking "shortcuts" is not necessarily a good thing for pioneering.

However, even so, if you encounter something that is clearly just stalling for time, the power of the Herrscher of the Void can still help save a lot of time!

"But speaking of which, so you can just show your power to Schwarz and pass the test... Then why did Hoshino fight Schwarz in the first place? She was very strong back then, wasn't she?"

Thinking about this, Kiana couldn't help but become curious.

The answer to the question is quite simple.

Xing is a numerical monster, while Kiana is a "mechanical monster".

Mechanics can demonstrate techniques, but numerical values ​​only allow the other party to feel what "pioneering" truly means the moment A is activated.

Of course, Kiana has now grasped part of the true meaning of "expansion".

That means... you just need to move forward, and the rest will be taken care of!

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Valkyrie's Trial

If Star is a numerical monster, and Kiana is a mechanical monster, then Luminous...

Is she just incredibly unlucky?

Today is the Valkyrie Rank Assessment Exam. As is customary, Valkyries participating in the exam only need to pass the theoretical exam and the practical exam to maintain their current rank.

Now that Ying is a "B-rank Valkyrie", she is going to participate in the B-rank Valkyrie assessment.

However... this year's exam regulations seem to have been slightly modified. In the theoretical exam, Ying passed all the tests with ease.

But when it came to the practical exam, which she was least worried about, Ying's lips twitched as she looked at Fu Hua, whom she had been randomly matched with.

She hit the class monitor?

real or fake! ?

Fortunately, this was just an exam, not an asymmetrical competition. After meeting Fu Hua's requirements, she passed the test smoothly.

And then, the final test of the practical exam...

Battle against simulated Honkai Beasts!

However, after a long exam process, the candidates should take a proper break.

"Ying did a great job today. Even the class monitor acknowledged your hard work over the past few days."

Mei and Bronya sat down next to Ying with smiles on their faces, and handed her a towel. Ying, whose clothes were slightly damp with sweat after finishing the test, was a little bit sweaty.

"Thank you Mei!"

Ying took the fragrant pink towel, smiled sweetly at Mei, and then quickly wiped the sweat off her body.

It has to be said that the pressure on her was immense when she was competing against the class monitor.

That incredible fist technique... she even vaguely sensed that the class monitor's skill in fist technique far exceeded the level of A-grade.

Fortunately, it was just a test of her basic skills, and there was no actual combat.

otherwise……

She'll probably be defeated within fifty moves.

"Sigh, the class monitor is so amazing. When will I be able to be as amazing as the class monitor?"

Ying sighed deeply, "Perhaps... once Kiana helps deliver her 'solution,' she'll be able to beat the class monitor, right?"

However... that wasn't due to her own strength...

Bronya believes that Ying will definitely surpass the class monitor.

Holding the Ies doll that Ying had given her, Bronya smiled gently at Ying.

"Yeah, so Ying, good luck!"

Mei also encouraged Ying.

"Yes! I will definitely work hard!"

Ying nodded her little head very seriously. From now on, she would work even harder to learn combat skills.

The three children sat together, sharing some interesting stories they had encountered during their exams.

Behind the three women, a slender figure was quietly watching them.

"Why don't we go take a look, Rita?"

Behind that figure, Theresa spread her hands and spoke to Rita beside her.

"Hehe, Lady Theresa, you are still so wary, but please rest assured, I have no ill intentions towards that little traveler from another world."

Rita chuckled and turned her beautiful eyes to Theresa beside her, then shook her head slightly.

"Oh? I don't think I've said anything yet?"

Looking at Rita's directness, Theresa's eyes flashed with surprise, as if she hadn't expected the other party to be so blunt.

Of course, she said she meant no harm... but does that really mean she didn't?

“Lady Theresa, you can put your guard down. I can assure you that I have no ill intentions toward that young traveler, nor toward the whole of Destiny.”

"And all of this was done at the behest of the bishop."

Rita casually recounted something very serious: what does "the whole destiny" mean?

Upon hearing this, Theresa frowned instantly. She gave Rita a deep look, then turned and left without a word.

She wanted to ask her grandfather herself what he really meant. Ying was now hers, and he couldn't possibly lay a finger on her!

……

Anti-Entropy, North American Headquarters.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Who is it?! Knocking on the door so early in the morning, don't you know that scientists need sleep?!"

The "girl" with her messy red hair, resembling a bird's nest, put on her red-rimmed glasses, barefoot, and stormed toward the door with a grumpy "morning grumpiness."

She didn't even glance at the security camera to see who was knocking on the door, but it was clear that the red arm armor she was wearing reflected her attitude!

Whether it's a person or a ghost knocking on the door next, she'll make sure they know what happens when you wake up a scientist who's just finished working overtime and gets less than an hour of sleep!

The furious "girl" flung open the door, about to unleash a torrent of "birdsong and fragrant flowers" on the man before her, but...

Upon seeing that slightly disheveled figure, his previously irritable eyes instantly became clear.
