Era of Breakdown

The knight's rapier shaped like a papal cross scepter has the simple beauty of the modern world. Durandal is more like a ceremonial sword than a killing weapon.

The moment he held it, Durandal's sword emitted a special magnetic field, and a strange flow of information rushed into Yaeji's mind.

I'm sorry, but the person standing in front of you is a man who has fought against the illusion of consciousness. Yae Ji's sword heart easily blocked this information from his mind.

‘Let me see what’s there. ’

Heavy snow, stage, volcano, desert, rain forest, small island...

In addition to these scenes, there is also a sharp will that wants to spread in it, like an alternative consciousness brainwashing, making the user firmly believe that it is "indestructible".

‘No wonder I am so familiar with it. The energy transmission method is like Mei’s design. Why haven’t I heard of this “God Key”? ’

Yaeji roughly filtered through the project plans of the Fire Chasing Moth years in his mind. There were too many projects in various weapons plans. He was still asleep for several years at the time, and he didn't bother to remember...

Buzz buzz~

Under the Honkai Reactor in the body, the Corrosion Key accelerates its rotation, and it vaguely conveys emotions such as "rebuke", "toughness", "dominance", and "gloomy resentment".

Yae Ji, who was one with the two, couldn't laugh or cry. This reminded him of the very jealous Ying Fukiyuki, 'If you two meet together, you won't have to fight. ’

The Key of Corrosion, which shrunk into the form of a small sword, spun faster, as if expressing dissatisfaction with Yae Ji's idea.

Suddenly! A corrosive force rushed toward Durandal along Yaeji's tendons!

'Hey! We don’t play like this! This is Bianca’s future sword! ’

Yaeji hurriedly threw Durandal to Shakespeare, and then spoke to comfort him. The Corrosion Key slowly regained its power and stayed under the reactor to rotate slowly.

"You can also feel her power, right?" Shakespeare, who was arguing with Bianca, saw Yaeji's reaction and quickly locked his sights on the initiator.

"No..." Yae Ji said without conscience, "It's more like my previous ceremonial sword."

"Really?" Shakespeare raised his eyebrows, looking at Yaeji with a hint of distrust.

"Really." Yaeji affirmed: "The qualities you mentioned before about using Durandal, bravery, confidence, philanthropy, kindness, vitality, calmness, and nobility, all seven are indispensable, and I don't have many who can relate to them. Rather than me, why don’t you let Miss Atalkina give it a try? She is the Valkyrie with the greatest growth potential in our destiny, and with her belief, she is more than capable of controlling this 'artifact'."

"Huh? I, I'm not as good as you said." Bianca, who felt embarrassed about being praised, avoided her eyes, "I'm just an ordinary person who works hard."

"A twelve-year-old A-level Valkyrie can't do it just by working hard." Yaeji smiled and said: "Miss Atalkina, humility is an excellent quality, but being too modest will only make you stand out from others. The image in my mind is greatly reduced.”

"I understand." Bianca nodded seriously to Yaeji, and took the Durandal from Shakespeare's hands with both hands.

Holding the hilt of the sword tightly, scenes appeared in Bianca's mind, and the almost brainwashing belief slowly took root.

Yae Ji watched this scene with great interest. Since the Fire Moth, he has been extremely keen on cultivating strong men to fight against Honkai. If there were a few more "Children of Destiny" like "Mei", he might have been a long time ago. He finally laid down.

The collapsing world is cruel to women, but it is also pampering. It slowly teaches its disciples to become what they want, and the process is enjoyable.

As for the qualities that Shakespeare mentioned, Yae Ji just smiled. If this weapon was really manufactured under the leadership of Mei, it would not have so many outrageous conditions.

As long as you have enough potential and are willing to sacrifice for humanity, it is possible to control Durandal.

The so-called quality and belief are just stories that have been passed down for a long time and become deified.

When Bianca opened her eyes, Shakespeare couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Do you feel like you can split everything?"

Bianca: "This weapon is indeed very strong. In its complete state... it can indeed tear apart the 'Wall of Asgard' easily.

By the way, where did you find this kind of weapon that is comparable to the 'Key of God'? "

"Picked it up."

"ha?"

"I picked it up." Shakespeare shrugged: "You may not believe it, but I picked up Durandal from the rubble on the mountain."

"..."

Just as Bianca was about to speak, she heard Layla's voice: "Captain! A man was found in the sea!"

. . .

The people floating in the sea are from German pilots during World War I. Yaeji, who knows the mission records, knows it even if he doesn’t read it.

While the others went to save people, Yaeji was alone looking down at the city beneath Hestia.

Gibraltar here has a very medieval feel, which reminds Yae Ji of the time when he first entered his destiny when he was young.

"Aiyi, shoot a magnetic missile into the energy wall."

"Captain." Aiyi's projection appeared next to Yaeji, "The crew member 'Iron Mask' has described the energy wall. There is space-time chaos in the sky above the 'Wall of Asgard', and our attack is highly likely." It’s not going to work.”

"Try firing one. If it doesn't work, just let it go like fireworks."

"yes."

As a transport ship, Hestia's weapons system is not outstanding.

, but it also has defensive weapons.

A magnetic missile was fired from the launch silo and suddenly stopped when it flew over the wall of Asgard. Then it went straight down and hit the ground on the outside of the wall.

"The turbulence of space and time shields the missile's signal, so the missile..."

"Aiyi." Yaeji interrupted the projection's narration and suddenly asked: "I once saw in the mission record that the Valkyrie who died in the second collapse became an idol in this world. Death... .Is it really possible to be resurrected? I mean...is there really reincarnation?"

Yaeji, who was very excited about the question, remained silent for a long time, and finally replied: "Dr. Mei may have the answer. In addition, I have searched for the Poincaré return conjecture for you. Do you need to know more about it?" ?”

"plum..."

. . .

People who had nothing to do about the Wall of Asgard for the time being chose to go to Alexandria. The Hestia's voyage is temporarily in Shakespeare's hands, and she's excited to be at the controls of such a massive "battleship"—even if all she's doing is providing Ai with a destination.

In the early morning, when he was about to arrive in Alexandria, Shakespeare chose to let the Hestia sail on the sea. After all, having such a large warship flying in the air is not only terrifying, but may also be treated as an enemy.
