"Gamma? It's the first time I've heard of this term, where did you get the information? Ryan hurriedly asked Edward's doctor after listening to him. So Dr. Edward told him everything he had learned.

Ten years ago - the Einstein Mansion

At that time, Dr. Edward, who was in his teens, also known as Edward Belmont, had just graduated from college in a special capacity and was living in the home of Dr. Lisel Albert Einstein, who had adopted him.

Although he lived with Dr. Liesel, Edward did not treat her as his own family, because Dr. Lisel adopted him for the purpose of making him his research assistant, and he would also be paid regularly for his work.

"Got up? Breakfast is on the table, and I'm going to see your research within the day, Lisel Albert Einstein. ”

When little Edward got out of bed and came to the living room, he did not see Dr. Lisel, but saw two burnt toast breads on the table, and a note under the plate. Although he didn't like Dr. Lisel from the bottom of his heart, he was still somewhat grateful to Dr. Lisel for her willingness to adopt him who was fatherless and motherless, and his sister was missing.

However, this gratitude quickly evaporated in the following work.

He thought about the short, unkempt gray-green woman on her back and helped her sort through the materials on her desk, and then he began to write the report of today's research project.

"Collation of the experimental results of Project CA-0894, one of them."

"This is the exploration report of the Star Alliance returning to the Sky Research Department of the Common Alliance of Mankind on September 26, 20XX, and located on the far side of the Moon in the 'Imaginary Tree World Bubble-No. SA04'."

"Through the research and analysis of the data brought back, the A-Z region located on the far side of the moon is covered by darkness all year round, and the sky above the observation area is surrounded by a luminescent atmosphere with a green-violet spectrum, and although no traces of biological existence have been observed, the interior of the observer shows that the atmosphere contains about 16-18% oxygen content, which is consistent with the earth's atmospheric environment."

Just as he was about to write this, Edward suddenly discovered a document she had brought back from her work at Destiny yesterday. It was a work of religious literature called The Ten Heavenly Sayings, and the author's name was Walter Young. So, when Dr. Lisel returned in the evening, he found little Edward holding the book in his hand, lying quietly on the research table and falling asleep, and the computer screen showed the halfway research report he had just written.

Today, Dr. Lisel still looks like that, a mess of a mixture of chicken nest and seaweed, turquoise hair, short stature, wearing black overalls and short skirts, holding a briefcase, looking at Edward who is quietly asleep.

"This kid ......"

Seeing that he seemed to be unable to scream, Lisel quietly brought a blanket from the drawing-room, put it over his back, and went back to rest.

As the night passed, Edward realized that Dr. Liesel had been here yesterday, and it seemed that he had forgotten to write his research and had read a day about Walter Young's The Ten Heavenly Sayings. This was also Edward's first encounter with the "Gamma Man" race, and he was full of curiosity about it.

So, he decided to get to Dr. Lisel and ask him about it. Although he only has a lot of time inside the Mandate of Heaven on weekdays, and he has to check your employee card before he can be released, he has a way to go there and find Dr. Lisel.

"Dr. Lisel, your little kid seems to be here."

"Oh, is it? How could he have come here all of a sudden? ”

After explaining the situation to the doorman of the Providence Firmament Research Institute, the doorman also let the young researcher who was called a "prodigy" within the Mandate of Heaven. When he arrived at the door of Dr. Lisel's office, he learned that Lisel was still busy in the observation room, so he immediately changed places and waited.

When she saw Edward coming here, Lisel just asked angrily, "Have you done the work I asked the kid to do?" Now run to where I work...... What do you want to do? ”

However, Edward did not take Dr. Liesel's words seriously, but asked for some information about the "Gamma Man" and Walter Young's "Ten Heavenly Sayings".

"That's not something you should care about." Dr. Lisel said. "If you're wondering, there's more opportunities in the future."

At this point, Edward stopped and did not continue.

"What happened after that?" Ryan continued. "Why doesn't she let you know about this?"

Dr. Edward touched his chin and replied, "Although I was too young to understand what she meant, I gradually understood everything she was talking about. ”

So, he affirmed, Lisel didn't let him get into the book too early, probably because he didn't let him know about the "terrible things" that happened before the Honkai Era. The fact that it was close to the origin of "Honkai" could not be understood by his ability to understand at the time.

"Well, Dr. Lisel really cares about it, and I'm coming to remember when New Arcadia was first founded, and everyone was fighting for this goal."

Ryan sighed, and Dr. Edward echoed him, "At that time, not only Dr. Lisel, but the company's start-up team were trying to understand what was going on before the Honkai Era, but now, all I see is chaos. ”

"Do you still hate Dr. Lisel? I think she's nice to you. ”

"Hmph...... I think she never saw me as her son, and if she had treated me as her own son, she wouldn't have let me, who was still young at the time, do that? Think about it, even if I was called a 'prodigy' at the time, I was a normal person, right? ”

He ripped off the tablet on his chest and put it in his pocket, while Ryan noticed that the name on it was written with the name "Edward Belmont Einstein". When Ryan asked about Dr. Edward's surname, Dr. Edward also said that "it has changed a long time ago", and then talked about the fact that he is no longer a member of the "Belmont" family.

Another day passed, and the Seventh Unit welcomed a new member.

This member, Freya the Gamma who was brought back to Destiny some time ago, became a temporary combatant after a series of induction tests, and the agent was classified as "Valkyrie" with a tentative rating of B. When Bronya returns to the dormitory with Freya, Rin and Lynki happen to be cleaning up and are startled by Freya's arrival.

"Hello everyone, we met some time ago, I'm Freya, and I'll be working with you this time." Freya introduced herself unhurriedly.

"Huh?!" Lin Qi remembered that when she met Freya a week ago, they were still enemies, but now, Freya, who has lost her memory, has been assigned to Unit 7, which makes her seem a little unaccustomed.

"Where's the Silent Stream?" Bronya asked.

"Ah, Miss Shizuru, she's on a mission, leaving us here to clean up."

After learning about Freya's brief amnesia, the two of them put their minds at ease and continued to do their work. Freya had some impressions of the people in front of her, and after missing part of her memory, she only remembered that they had worked together, but she couldn't remember what it was.

After Freya was assigned the last room left in the dormitory, Bronya went upstairs to prepare her for the room.

"The personnel department really made her a Valkyrie?" Rin whispered to Linqi. "I'm still not at ease, after all, I remember how she cheated us a week ago."

"Me too." Lin Qi also showed a half-believing expression at this time, and whispered and gossiped about Freya with Rin.

However, they didn't notice that Freya was standing behind them while the two were gossiping, and after Rin was tapped on the shoulder, he looked at the beige girl behind him in horror, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"Aren't I welcome? Is it okay for me to go? Freya looked disappointed and said angrily to Rin.

Rin hurriedly pulled Lin Qi aside, and then walked up to apologize apologetically: "No, I'm sorry, Miss Freya, the main thing is that you forgot, you were unconscious a week ago, and the two of us took turns to take care of you." ”

Of course, what Rin said was false, and Freya didn't know that the person who took care of her the most during her unconscious days was Miss Akia, an angel in white.

"Oh, then, I'm sorry for the trouble." Freya blushed when she heard this, then lowered her head and apologized to Rin.

At present, the air seems to have stabilized, and Rin secretly thought to herself, don't say the wrong thing, now Freya's appearance, I wonder if Knight Kiana will suddenly come to the Mandate of Heaven to find her. Although they had only only come into contact with the Gammamen, they also knew that Solan was a "high-level paladin" with the power to manipulate the Holy Inscription, making them very difficult enemies to deal with.

Now putting Freya in Destiny is like planting a big time bomb for everyone, and they don't know when it will explode. At the same time, Dr. Edward decided to go to the Celestial Heaven's Firmament Research Department and take out the book "Ten Heavenly Sacred Sayings" that he had read that year and read it again.

Although there were not many people within Destiny who could freely use the research department's database permissions, Dr. Edward knew a little. One of them was Dr. Bai Yang, who, after giving Edward permissions, instructed him not to use information with Level 2 Secret or higher clearance, and left.

But Dr. Edward is such an honest person, after Bai Yang left, he went straight to the place where the second-level confidential and above materials were stored, opened the console, and prepared to call some materials out. At this moment, Dr. Edward's cell phone rang, and the caller was Rin.

"We had a small combat meeting, can you come over for a moment?" Doctor'? ”

However, Dr. Edward declined the invitation on the grounds that I was still busy, and said that he was not a member of the Seventh Unit team, so he asked them to contact him if necessary. He turned his head and continued to stare at the display screen of the console, looking through the vast amount of information to find the item he wanted.

"It's this."

He pulled up a document titled "Survey Data on the "Imaginary Tree World Bubble - Number SA04" on the Far Side of the Moon MB-021 Area from the console, and prepared to open it and read it, and the document was signed by Dr. Lisel Albert Einstein.

New Arcadia Technology Co., Ltd. Headquarters - Polaris Alliance Conference Room

"Ryan died."

In today's "North Star" conference room, the atmosphere is very unharmonious, and everyone's face has a more or less solemn expression. Since last week, according to a report by New Arcadia security personnel, it was learned that Ryan was intercepted by members of Destiny's operations team on his way to cover the mine staff, and one of the subordinates responsible for handing over the information wrote the report conclusion that "Ryan died".

Agnes rose from his seat and addressed everyone in the room:

"Ryan has done his best, and I hope you will continue to carry on his legacy and continue our great work."

Although everyone believed that a humanoid lawyer as powerful as Ryan could not have died in the cause of fighting the Mandate of Heaven in a day, Bottu's sacrifice also made everyone express their concern about the cause they were about to undertake.

"Chief, all areas of North America are currently under our control, and if the people of Destiny want to attack our base camp, I think they will definitely not be able to fly in with their wings."

A member of the Polaris Alliance with a mohican head spoke confidently. But Agnes did not answer him, but silently got up from his seat, looked at the ceiling, and said nothing.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

He didn't answer the mohican, but seemed to be thinking about something. Then, after thinking about it, he made up his mind and announced to everyone:

"First the mutiny of 'Frost Moon' and 'Doctor', then the defeat of 'Commander', 'Lionheart' and 'Sea Tide', if this continues, I must speed up my pace, for the sake of our great cause, I cannot afford to slack off."

At this time, Ace was also in this conference room, and she sat closest to Agnes, her hands crossed over her chest, and she didn't say a word. Agnes looked at the current second-in-command of the Polaris Alliance, and knew that she and herself were not of the same mind, and that the two were connected by hatred of destiny.

"Razor."

"What's the matter?"

When he called to Ace, Ace only replied coldly. Ace didn't want to pay attention to the man, but Agnes approached her on his own initiative, showing a coercive expression and movements.

"I want to ask you a question, is this 'rebirth project' that we started in the first place to fight against the Gamma invasion in the wrong direction?"

"I'm not sure, but I want to know if the 'Gamma Man' you call an 'extraterrestrial being' exists, and in the archives of the Mandate of Heaven, such an existence is called a part of the 'Extraterrestrial Man'...... Do you think you can easily reach it? Agnes. ”

Agnes didn't answer her, just walked away from Ace. Then, with a lift of his right hand, he motioned to a girl with pink hair, two ponytails, and a staff member of the North Star Alliance, and told her to help him do something.

"'Forget', go about your business."

"Yes...... Lord Agnes. ”

"Send someone to take care of things in the Far East, I want to see that there is not a single paladin in my territory, those guys are too much, they say that the 'energy' thing is divided into fifty or fifty, but they want to open three or seven, it's time to teach them a lesson."

With that, the girl departed with a short, gray-clad figure. The rest of the Polaris Alliance members went back to their own business, leaving only Ace and Agnes, who seemed to be still talking about something.

Alfonzo...... No, it's time to call you 'Dagama' Heavenly Sage, are you a man of God, or are you a little suspicious of what I just said to keep it a secret for you? ”

When Ace spoke, Agnes' eyes suddenly became fierce, and he drew his dagger and came to Ace at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, and put the dagger on her neck.

"Don't call me by that name, Berena...... I'm not a stupid being like 'Dagama', I'm a higher, more advanced being! Beyond the existence of God! ”

Ace ignored his hysteria, her face was flat as water, as if Agnes' threat to her at this moment was like a drizzle falling on her. And she also thought for a while, and slowly asked Agnes about him:

"I wonder what it's like to betray the Gamma Man."

In the entire Polaris Alliance, it is known that Agnes is a member of the Gamma People, except for Ace, who is Dr. Edward, who has suspected Agnes' true identity through various speculations.

"What does it feel?" Agnes replied fiercely. "As an earthling, you don't understand what it's like to be born with a curse from the divine! I fell here in order to reproduce the first ring of the Ten Days of Trial...... I have to do this in order to make life better for you humans! ”

And Ace remained indifferent to his threat and did not speak, but listened quietly. Later, Agnes also told the information about the "Gamma Man" and told them to Ace.

"The Gamma people are a race created by the lawgivers, and it stands to reason that if it weren't for the existence of primitive demigods such as the 'Eight Kings of Tampling', the Gamma people would not be qualified to survive the natural disaster."

"'Heavenly Saint da Gama' is the pioneer of the Gamma civilization, their 'god', and in my opinion...... 'god' or 'human' are all similar existences, they will all have wars with each other, rob each other of everything, and are greedy beings."

"If my plan really succeeds, then we will create a new earth, so that the 'Fourteen Laws of Creation' will become our servants and serve us, so that the new human race created by me will never have such a tragedy again!"

It has to be said that Agnes's idea is very crazy, and aside from his identity as "Da Gama", what he wants has not been proposed by anyone since the history of the struggle between humanity and Honkai.

Ace didn't speak, and as Agnes took the dagger from her neck, she patted the dust off her shoulder as if nothing had happened, and then stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"Go and finish my business." Ace replied. "I'm not interested in your plans to be the 'Gamma Man-Alfonzo', and the fact that I can sit here and work with you is just because I have some personal grievances with Destiny that I haven't dealt with."

After hearing this, Agnes also showed a satisfied smile and said: "I appreciate your straightforwardness, Razor Queen, you are one of the few earthlings I recognize, respond to my expectations...... Let's create a better world, a beautiful world, how? ”

"Whatever you want, whether it's 'creating a new world' or letting this land 'flow rivers of blood', after all, you were once a god, and you should be able to do what you want."

Although the two of them don't deal with each other, Ace also knows that the relationship between her and Agnes is just a relationship of using each other, and the purpose is the same, that is, to find the Mandate of Heaven to reckoning. When Ace left, she was also worried about this, although she wanted to complete the "personal grudge" with someone in the Mandate of Heaven, she also didn't want to see this land devastated by "Da Gama".

She also thought to herself, "Ed, I hope your plan won't be delayed because of this", hoping that her brother can find some way to stop the terrible things that are about to happen on this planet.

A day later - the Far East - non-security zone E - pinch over the Katsk industrial zone

This time, the Seventh Squad of Destiny received a new mission order to go to Zone E, a non-safe zone in the Russian Far East, to carry out a crusade against the armed personnel of New Arcadia. The operation was carried out by the 7th Special Operations Group led by Bronya, and consisted of Rin, Yu Linqi, Ritter Rosewieser, and Freya.

The Far East is the hometown of the Captain of Unit 7, "Bronya Zajček", and her feeling of returning here this time is unexpectedly unusual. At this time, they were being carried by the cruiser battleship Hela and were under unidentified artillery fire above the area.

"I can't hold it anymore, Captain." Ritter said as he looked at the dwindling force field protection values on the Hela's control screen. "I don't know where the attack came from, but if it goes on like this...... We're going to fall! ”

Bronya replied with a calm face: "Turn on the manual, I will control the emergency landing of the Hela, and I can't let the Hela suffer a little damage!" ”

As the Hella slammed straight to the snow-covered surface of the ground, everyone waited for the Hella to stabilize before quickly moving out through the hatch.

"Are you alright?" Bronya asked, pulling out her weapon.

The team members unanimously said that they were okay, and so, under the command of Bronya, everyone braved a somewhat strong snowstorm and slowly advanced towards the target location.

At the same time, the gamma men, who came from nowhere, attacked the industrial area of Pinch Katsk and clashed with the security forces of New Arcadia. The two sides were still using long-range firepower to stalemate each other, and suddenly, a huge fireball condensed from the air, full of half a tall building, and smashed into dozens of paladins.

"Boom."

The flames exploded in the paladin, and the paladins who were set on fire immediately turned into a cloud of ashes and scattered in all directions. With the sound of a girl's holy inscription chanting, the flames continued to fall from the sky, sweeping the entire battlefield with a devastating force.

"F72B027C, 'Wild Blue Rose and Crimson Rose'."

It was the chant of a pink-haired, two-ponytailed girl who led the armed men of New Arcadia, using this powerful force to repel waves of enemy forces.

The paladins also recognized the true identity of the leading girl, and although they were suspicious of the girl's gamma identity, they continued to teleport into the battlefield through spatial warps to fight against the armed men of New Arcadia.

The armed men of New Arcadia are becoming more and more courageous, and looking at Norni behind them, who is supporting them with heavy firepower, they have also gained courage, and I believe that under the leadership of Lord Norni, they will also win quickly.

"Mistress Norney is amazing! That way we'll be able to take out these freaks without a single soldier. ”

Just as one of the security personnel was talking triumphantly, several flying blades also quickly flew into the battlefield, like a storm of wind rolling up a torrential rain, surrounding them and the paladin. Then, another mechanical punch protruding from the void slammed down, killing them all without distinguishing between the enemy and the enemy.

It was Bronya and Rin's joint attack, and they worked well together, while Ritter and Lynki were not idle. With the rain of solid water crystals created by Freya, they also attacked together, and those ordinary paladins who did not have "holy inscriptions", as well as those New Arcadia armed men, were also instantly unable to parry.

"It is the man of destiny! Remove! The leading New Acadia fighters began to shout. But the number of paladins is also increasing, like dead soldiers who don't know where to come, rushing into this battlefield.

Bronya and the others rushed over, and Rin also withdrew her flying blade, fighting the paladin while running in the direction of the Katsk industrial area. Norni also saw the Destiny Team led by Bronya from a distance, and instead of driving the Holy Engraving Technique, she waved the girl's jade hand and ordered all the team members to return to the industrial area and block the gate to prevent Bronya and the others from breaking in.

Soon, the attacked paladins also spotted Bronya and the others, and turned their guns on them. It was discovered that the source of the gunfire that shot down the Hella was followed by the paladins, and there were several heavy mechmen of average height, covered in snow-white armor, pouring artillery ammunition on them.

The heavy armor of the "Imperial Iron Guard" is a self-disciplined land combat weapon that the Gamma people have set up here in advance. Because there are many "low-level paladins" sent here, in order to replace the heavy firepower of high-level paladins, these cyborgs have also been folded here.

"Queen's Shield!" Rin unfolded his flying blades to form a turquoise barrier, shielding him from the fire of the paladin's cannons with a shield that was too strong to describe as common sense. At the same time, Lin Qi also flew out and engaged the spear-wielding paladins in close quarters.

While Destiny and the Paladin were fighting, Norney was also observing what was happening in front of her in the industrial zone. Although she didn't anticipate why the Mandate of Heaven would come here, as it stands, it would be a good option to let the Mandate of Heaven resist the paladins, at least they could prepare to evacuate back to North America.

"Noorne-sama, the evacuation ship is ready, please go first." An armed man hurried over and said.

Norney signaled to him that he didn't need to evacuate as soon as possible, so she continued to watch everything in front of her through the monitor, and then drew her eyes to the new Destiny Valkyrie, Freya, the "Gamma Paladin".

Freya...... I didn't expect to see you here. Noorney muttered. You've been out on missions since you left the Gamma King's City, and why? Is it a 'holy war'? Or is it aggression? ”

I saw that Norni, who was sitting in front of the monitor, once again drove the Holy Mark, creating a magical prohibition in the area of view, unleashing a sea of napalm fire and rain in the sky, and frantically pouring down towards the paladin troops, killing a large part of the enemies who came to intercept them in just a few seconds.

At the same time, Ritter also blasted the giant mecha "Royal Iron Guard" to pieces through heavy firepower. Seeing that the paladins began to retreat, Bronya also ordered not to pursue, but to walk in the direction of the industrial area.

"Noorne-sama, it's too late if you don't leave!"

"I know." Norney had a new idea at this point. "Go first, there are my acquaintances among them...... Also, the young man who wielded the flying blade, I know what he was carrying, and they were the ones I could deal with through 'negotiations', so let's go first. ”

When Bronya's iron fist blasted open the big iron gate of the industrial area. Norney pestle a staff-shaped energy emitter and confronted the Destiny of Destiny, followed by several heavily armed New Arcadian armed men wearing iron masks and unwilling to leave.

"You're not here to investigate, you're not here to help us...... It seems that you are gathering information very quickly, who told you that? Norney asked them coldly.

Bronya didn't answer her, but asked her what she was doing here, and why the Gamma Paladins attacked her so suddenly. Norni replied, "I was also on orders, and after Lord Agnes told me that there were troops of the 'Gamma Man' here, I brought people here to carry out a mission to clear them all up. ”

Seeing that she seems to be the kind of person she can communicate with, Bronya also asks her "why are the Gamma people attacking here". Norney said that she had nothing to say about it, and if Bronya wanted to continue asking, she wouldn't mind having to deal with the members of Unit 7.

Seeing that Bronya was about to make a move with Norney, Freya seemed to remember something and hurriedly blocked Bronya's face. Norney held her staff in both hands, and after seeing Freya, although she had some doubts about the fact that she was on the Destiny side, she didn't think much about it.

"'Freya Slatos'...... You must be the lieutenant of the Knights of Hell, I don't know how you got here, but I'm sure your captain, Miss Kiana, is looking for you. ”

"Huh?! You're not going to be Jom Heinloth's sister, are you? No...... No, it's the daughter of Dean Zyra, the color of your hair, and your clothes...... It's all changed, huh? ”

But before the joy of the reunion could last, Norney suddenly waved her staff, and a fiery snake sprang out of the staff and headed straight for Freya. Luckily, Bronya's Heavy Bunny blocked the blow for her and didn't hurt her team member, Freya.

When Freya saw that this old acquaintance suddenly attacked her, she also said angrily, "What are you doing! Sister Jom! He then drove up his own Sacred Markt and prepared to launch a counterattack on Norni. When Norne saw Freya drive her own holy inscription "Blue Cannon", she also asked why she appeared in "Destiny":

"Why are you in the Earthling-Destiny camp? If you remember what happened to me, then you don't need to be at me...... Also, please hurry back to the 'Fourth World', I don't want to see you purged by His Majesty the Pope. ”

Freya was reminded by this sentence, as if she remembered something, but she didn't seem to know too clearly, and she felt a little dizzy and was about to pass out on the ground when she had a "memory gap" reaction. Fortunately, Rin stepped forward and helped her, carrying Freya, who had an adverse reaction, on her back, ready to find an opportunity to take her away.

But Freya also woke up immediately, and said to Rin, "I'm sorry, Rin, I'm a little uncomfortable", and her face instantly turned pale. Instead of embarrassing Freya, who already had some symptoms of "fault loss of memory", Norney ordered everyone to bring her into the house, and by the way, she also instructed her men to take good care of her.

Norne withdrew her staff and continued, "If you are the kind of person who follows the Pope's will and wants to bring me back to my mother, then I am your enemy, Miss Freya Slatos. ”

Just as Norney said this, Rin, who knew Freya's intermittent amnesia symptoms, hurriedly came out and explained, "I believe what she said, even if you are also a 'Gamma Paladin', Freya is also a Gamma Paladin...... She is now my companion, and I will not allow you to do anything to hurt her, 'forget' Miss Norney. ”

Norney didn't speak, just looked at Freya, who was a little weak. She instructed Rin to place Freya on a black couch in her office, and then noticed the black, brown-eyed boy in front of her, and said to him:

"It seems that the power of the 'Prince of Light' has been transferred to you, if that's the case...... The world is already facing the crisis of the 'end times'. ”

Seeing that Miss Norney was such a riddler, Rin also stepped forward and asked her. What is the "Prince of Light" and what does "Doomsday" refer to? Also, from just now to now, everyone knows Norney's real name "Jum Heinloth", but she doesn't like people to call her that, what is the reason?

Norney frowned, then said, "Don't ask too much about me", and then took out a purple solid like a "Holy Engraving Technique" crystal from her body and fused it into Freya's body. Freya also woke up after coughing dryly, blinking her watery blue eyes and asking blankly, "Where is this?" and something like that.

"I'll tell you a story, it's about 'Agnes' and 'Gamma Man-Alfonzo', and you'll understand when you're done."
