"Darling, what do you think Cocolia will think of us?"
I can't say for sure.
Cocolia may not necessarily drive away Chubi and Cecilia, but it is foreseeable that the orphanage's security will be greatly strengthened in the near future, both to protect the children and to keep an eye on Chubi and Cecilia.
Qiu Bi and Cecilia didn't seem to care much about it. After all, it wasn't them who kidnapped Seele, and no matter how much Cocolia investigated, it wouldn't implicate the two of them.
Compared to these things, Qiu Bi and Cecilia value the children's physical and mental health more.
A mercenary attack is no small matter. In addition to taking care of the children's physical health, Qiu Bi must also pay attention to their mental state to prevent them from suffering psychological trauma from today's events.
Chapter 119 Goodbye Walter
Just as Qiu Bi had predicted, Cocolia increased security at the orphanage, not only to prevent similar incidents from happening again, but also to monitor Qiu Bi and Cecilia.
Qiu Bi and Cecilia didn't care at all and continued to take care of the children in the orphanage as if they were their own daughters.
As time went by, the children's bodies gradually returned to normal, and the time for Qiu Bi and Cecilia to leave drew closer.
Seemingly sensing something, Seele cherished this time together even more, practically spending every day with Qiu Bi and Cecilia.
In addition, knowing the promises Qiu Bi had made, Rosalia and Lilia behaved exceptionally well. They rarely quarreled and actively maintained the relationship between the children, preventing them from arguing in time.
Therefore, Qiu Bi and Cecilia decided to take Seele, Rosalia, and Lilia on a trip before leaving Cocolia Orphanage.
At the same time, because of the previous kidnapping incident, Cocolia was not comfortable with Qiu Bi and Cecilia taking the children out to play, so she insisted that they must go to the places she specified.
After taking into account the children's opinions, Qiu Bi and Cecilia "negotiated" with Cocolia for a long time and finally decided on a place to go for the trip - a seaside amusement park.
"Have the children recovered?"
"Yes, all the children have recovered. As long as they don't suffer from malnutrition or the same injuries again, they won't get sick again."
"Thank you for your hard work during this time."
"It is our duty."
Qiu Bi responded politely, and then led Cecilia away from Cocolia's study.
Just as the two were about to leave the study, Cocolia suddenly called out to them.
"Dr. Qiu Bi, Ms. Cecilia, someone wants to see you."
"Hmm? Who wants to see us?"
Although Qiu Bi was questioning Cocolia, he already had a general idea of who wanted to see him and Cecilia.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Welt Young, the leader of Anti-Entropy.
“Walter Young. Dr. Qiu Bi, you should know him.”
"Ah."
Qiu Bi responded softly, without going into details.
Cocolia stood up and walked toward Chubi and Cecilia, saying, "Dr. Chubi, Ms. Cecilia, Walter is waiting for you in the guest room. Please come with me."
Qiu Bi and Cecilia looked at each other in silence. Although they did not know why Walter was looking for them, they still followed Cocolia to the guest room without fear.
Now, Qiu Bi is fearless of all threats. He not only possesses three Herrscher cores, but also has many Herrscher daughters as his strongest support.
Let alone Welt, who is the "Herrscher of Reason", even if Anti-Entropy launched a full-scale attack, it would be difficult to kill Qiu Bi in his current state.
Not to mention, Cecilia is not an ordinary woman who is powerless, but the strongest S-class Valkyrie from the previous Schicksal.
As for the current strongest S-class Valkyrie...
Under Otto's management, the number of S-class Valkyries in Schicksal is no longer just one; it has seen an explosive increase compared to previous years.
—Six S-rank Valkyries.
Maria Shaniat, Colorless Radiance, Kallen Kaslana, Theresa Apocalypse, Cheng Lixue, and Fu Hua.
Cecilia and the other members of the Snow Wolf Squad had long since left the Destiny organization, so they would not be included in Destiny's S-rank Valkyrie list.
Although Qiu Bi was not active in Tianming, his "legend" circulated in another form.
Once the Valkyrie has accumulated enough merit, she can make a wish to Destiny.
Whatever the requirements, they can be achieved once the conditions are met.
Among the many Valkyries, Colorless Blaze most desires the opportunity to "make a wish".
She wants to have a special physique that allows her to "eat without gaining weight".
If circumstances and conditions permit, Colorless Flame would like to add another wish: "eternal youth".
Unfortunately, the colorless radiant fire has yet to accumulate enough merit.
In recent years, the frequency of Honkai attacks has increased significantly compared to before 1999. However, most of these are ordinary Honkai attacks, which can be resolved by dispatching a Valkyrie squad led by an A-rank Valkyrie. There is no need to dispatch the "Radiance" squad, which has an S-rank Valkyrie.
It is worth mentioning that among the current six S-rank Valkyries of Destiny, Colorless Blaze is the only S-rank Valkyrie with a squad.
The other S-rank Valkyries are either aloof, not good at leading Valkyrie squads, or have more important things to do.
While Qiu Bi was pondering, he had already arrived at the guest room of the orphanage.
Cecilia linked arms with Qiu Bi, her expression calm and composed.
"Dr. Qiu Bi, Ms. Cecilia, I won't go in with you."
Cocolia gently pushed open the door, then turned to look at Qiu Bi and Cecilia, showing no inclination to enter the guest room.
Qiu Bi and Cecilia looked at each other in silence, then slowly walked into the guest room.
Seeing this, Cocolia closed the door behind her and left the room to attend to her own business.
……
Room.
As Qiu Bi and Cecilia arrived, Walter slowly opened his eyes and reached out to push up his black-rimmed glasses.
“Mr. Qiu Bi, Ms. Cecilia, it’s been a long time since we last met in 1999.”
Because Qiu Bi instructed Bella to freeze Welt on the moon, it took a full year after the Second Honkai War ended for Welt to finally break free of Bella's ice and return to the Anti-Entropy organization.
Although Bella only used the power of the Herrscher of Ice, she used the four Herrscher cores as the "source of power," which is equivalent to four Herrschers of Ice working together to freeze her. Naturally, Welt could not easily break out of the ice.
Through further investigation, Walter learned most of what Chubi did during the Second Honkai Impact and verified Bella's words on the moon.
—The magical girls don't want to destroy the world; they just want to have a peaceful daily life.
Although Welt didn't understand why Schicksal would let Sirin and the other Herrschers go unpunished, it didn't stop him from contacting Qiu Bi again and trying to pull Qiu Bi into "Anti-Entropy".
"It has indeed been a long time."
Qiu Bi nodded in agreement, then pulled Cecilia to sit opposite Walter.
Cecilia looked at Walter with confusion, not understanding why this "Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader" wanted to see her and Qiu Bi.
"To avoid affecting Mr. Qiu Bi and Ms. Cecilia's subsequent itinerary, I'll just get straight to the point..."
Walter paused, as if organizing his thoughts, before continuing, "I would like to invite Mr. Qiu Bi to join Anti-Entropy."
"This..."
Qiu Bi was not too surprised by this, having already guessed Walter's purpose for coming.
Then, he chuckled and said, "To be honest, destiny is practically my 'possession' now."
Walter: ? ? ?
Chapter 120 [God-Slaying Armor]
Walterton was puzzled. Shouldn't the bishop of Destiny still be "Otto Apocalypse"?
Perhaps sensing Walter's confusion, Qiu Bi took the initiative to explain, using the excuse that he had helped Otto solve an extremely important matter to justify his previous words.
Although Walter didn't know what kind of "important matter" could give Qiu Bi control of destiny, it didn't prevent him from understanding Qiu Bi's current identity.
—One of the controllers of destiny.
Therefore, Walter knew that Qiu Bi could not possibly join the anti-entropy group.
Considering what Qiu Bi did during the Second Honkai War, he is unlikely to become Otto's "loyal supporter".
However, Walter still needs to remain cautious about this matter, since people's hearts are unpredictable, and no matter how steadfast a person is, sooner or later they will change their stance, thoughts, or even beliefs.
"In that case, I'll take my leave."
Walter sighed and took his leave.
When Qiu Bi became one of the rulers of Destiny, it was destined that he could not join Anti-Entropy unless Anti-Entropy and Destiny reached a reconciliation.
This situation might occur someday in the future, but it's absolutely impossible now.
There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides until Walter learns of Destiny's current decision.
Qiu Bi and Cecilia watched Walter leave the guest room, exchanging no words.
After a few seconds of silence, Cecilia broke the silence by speaking first.
"Darling, why is Anti-Entropy unwilling to make peace with Destiny?"
"This... actually concerns the establishment of reverse entropy."
Qiu Bi tells Cecilia about the origins of "Anti-Entropy" and the reasons for its establishment, while Cecilia leans on Qiu Bi's shoulder and listens patiently to his story.
Cecilia didn't comment much on the origin of entropy, only sighing.
Otto was indeed quite "obsessed" in the past. Although he did many things that were detrimental to the development of human civilization, he also did many things that helped to resist the Honkai.
—For example, "artificial stigmata" and "Valkyrie armor".
The emergence of the former led to a significant increase in the number of Valkyries, making Valkyries no longer dependent on "talent." Even ordinary women could become Valkyries through "artificial stigmata."
The latter's appearance improved the Valkyries' average combat power and production capacity, while also increasing their survival rate.
The Valkyries' clothing is often unlike normal attire; it is either very ornate or made of very little fabric, which is due to the limitations of the materials or cost of the "Valkyrie Armor".
Each Valkyrie needs to wear the corresponding level of "Valkyrie Armor" in order to unleash her full power.
If the level of the "Valkyrie Armor" does not correspond to the level of the Valkyrie, the user's strength will decrease at best, and they will die from Honkai energy erosion at worst.
