You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

Kevin looked at Celine and then continued to explain, "To be precise, I was waiting for you and Angeline."

"why?"

"Before the 'Paradise of the Past' is truly opened, I want her to meet you first."

"Her? Who?"

"...Once you enter the 'Paradise of the Past,' you should know who she really is."

Hearing this, Sirin looked at Kevin with some doubt, then gazed at the silent passageway.

"Then let's go!"

Celine stormed down the quiet passageway, muttering under her breath, "I absolutely can't let my sisters turn into Kevin—the Riddler is just too awful!"

Although Celine's muttering was very soft, it was particularly noticeable in the quiet passageway.

Kevin's expression remained unchanged as he silently watched Qiu Bi and the others walk into the passageway.

Before entering the passageway, Qiu Bi made a point of apologizing to Kevin, and then quickly caught up with Xilin and Angelin.

Kevin watched all this indifferently until the footsteps in the corridor faded into the distance, then he sighed.

"Humanity's hope of defeating the Honkai is placed on two girls... Alicia, what you've been waiting for has happened."

Chapter 224 Alicia

Qiu Bi and the others walked along the dimly lit passageway, heading straight for the enormous facility at the end of the passageway called "Paradise of the Past".

"It's so long..."

A blazing fireball floated in Sirin's palm, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

A blazing fireball also floated in Qiu Bi's palm, radiating a warm and bright light.

"The 'Paradise of the Afterlife' is at the end of this passageway; we should arrive there soon."

Qiu Bi gently comforted Xilin while carefully observing the walls of the passageway.

Judging from the shape of the passageway alone, this place does not look like the entrance to the "Paradise of the Dead" at all, but rather like a long-abandoned ruined tunnel.

Ordinary, yet ancient and dilapidated.

If Kevin hadn't explicitly stated that this was the entrance to "Paradise on Earth," Qiu Bi would never have believed that this passageway actually led to "Paradise on Earth."

Before long, the group passed through the dark passageway and entered a brightly lit area.

This is a "golden palace" with its interior simply divided into several areas.

At this moment, a lovely young girl, as beautiful as a blooming flower, sat gracefully on the guest sofa, smiling as she looked at Qiu Bi and the others.

Hi~ Nice to meet you, how does it feel?

"..."

The crowd exchanged silent glances, then stared at the girl, waiting for her to continue.

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, the girl smiled gently.

"I get shy when I'm being stared at like that."

The girl's words, seemingly teasing or joking, made Qiu Bi and the others feel a little embarrassed.

—Except for Sirin.

Xilin stared intently at the girl, becoming more and more satisfied with her gaze.

Angeline glanced at Xilin and roughly guessed what Xilin was thinking.

If nothing unexpected happens, it seems that Sirin has taken a liking to this girl and has the idea of ​​making her her mother.

"Oh dear... I didn't expect that this guest, who is clearly very cute, would be so poor at talking."

"In that case, let me introduce myself first."

"My name is Alicia. As you can see, I am a beautiful girl who lives up to my name."

In Mu's common language, Alicia means "paradise" or "blissful land."

“My friends call me ‘Aili’, you can call me that too, it sounds cute, just like me.”

"As for his identity..."

"In your words, they should be called 'fusion warriors from the pre-civilization era,' right? They were Kevin's former comrades."

"Of course, the real Alicia wouldn't waste her youth thousands of meters underground."

“I am just a clone she left behind—a memory that inherited her personality and experiences.”

“But it doesn’t matter. You can still see me, talk to me, and even have some physical interactions with me.”

"The 'Paradise of Past Lives' is originally a world of memories, so it's not unreasonable for a version of myself from those memories to appear. Is this what's commonly known as... two negatives make a positive?"

Alicia said a lot, which made Sirin look thoughtful.

Only after Alicia finished speaking did Sirin ask curiously, "Then where is your true form?"

"Hey~ Who knows? After all, that's me. It's not surprising that a cute girl would do anything, but... she's probably already dead."

Alicia's expression didn't change much, as if "death" was just a trivial matter.

Then, Alicia's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Sirin.

"Cute girl, now it's your turn to introduce yourself."

"Well……"

Sirin carefully considered her words, then proudly declared, "Sirin is Sirin, the first magical girl and the strongest magical girl!"

"Oh my? Magical girls? That sounds so cute~ Is this what modern civilization's 'fusion warriors' are like?"

"No, magical girls protect love and justice, you must be referring to 'Valkyrie'!"

"Hmm... I see. I actually prefer 'magical girl' to 'valkyrie,' since I can use magic too."

Upon hearing this, Sirin immediately became interested and began to ask questions with great enthusiasm, all about Alicia's "magic".

Alicia is almost always open and honest, and when she encounters a question she can't answer, she will casually change the subject.

"Sirin, are you a Herrscher?"

"I guess you could say that? Sirin was indeed the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Void, before becoming a magical girl, but now she's a 'magical girl'!"

"The Herrscher who fights for humanity..."

Alicia murmured softly, then pressed on, "So, has the collapse of the real world just begun?"

According to the information revealed by Sirin, Alicia mistakenly believed that the real world had just experienced a collapse, and that only two "Herrschers" had appeared.

"No~"

When Alicia pressed her for an answer, Sirin denied it without hesitation, saying, "It's been sixteen years since Sirin became a Herrscher!"

Sirin became the "Herrscher of the Void" in 1999, and now it is 2015, sixteen years have passed.

Sixteen years?

Alicia feigned surprise, then asked curiously, "Won't any new Herrschers appear afterward?"

"Of course! The Third Herrscher is the Herrscher of Thunder, but Mei likes Daddy, so she might become Sirin's mom soon~"

"The Fourth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Wind, recently descended upon us, but she's now Sirin's Wendy's mom!"

Alicia: ? ? ?

Sister becomes mother?

Herrscher becomes mother?

Alicia stared at Sirin in astonishment, unable to recover for a long time.

Then, Alicia composed herself and asked with a smile, "So—Sirin, could you introduce me to the other people?"

Hearing Sirin's words, Alicia finally understood what Kevin meant by "the Herrscher is strange".

In addition, Kevin had warned her to always be wary of the Heralds of modern civilization.

In retrospect, the lesson was to warn her not to end up like Celine's mother.

Alicia didn't take it to heart, after all, she was just a memory entity at the moment and couldn't even leave "Paradise of the Past".

Kevin did not mention Qiu Bi's "contract" ability.

"Okay! Sirin will introduce everyone to you!"

Celine readily agreed and then introduced Angeline, Qiu Bi, and Delta one by one.

"This is 'Angelin Qiu,' not only one of Sirin's older sisters, but also the 'Herrscher of the End.'"

Alicia:?

what's the situation?

Has the Honkai been eliminated?

Otherwise, how do you explain "the Lawgiver of the End"?

Alicia was puzzled, but she didn't bother Sirin and waited for Sirin to continue explaining.

Chapter 225 Sirin Wants Alicia to Be a Mother

After introducing Angeline, Sirin looked at Qiu Bi and Delta, and ultimately chose to introduce Delta first.

"This is Dad's student, named Delta. According to Gana's mother, Delta may grow into something similar to the 'Herrscher of the End'."

"By the way, Gana's mother is a planetary-level Honkai Beast, extremely powerful, comparable to the 'Herrscher of the End'~"

Alicia: ? ? ?

Although it's impolite to think like that, but...

Why hasn't modern civilization gone extinct?

Then, with light steps, Xilin affectionately hugged Qiu Bi's arm.
