Collapse Iron: Today's mount is the female protagonist.

"Huh?" Bianca was listening intently when the sudden ending made her make a dazed sound.

That's a very simplistic summary.

“After all, I omitted the unimportant parts,” Qi Shi laughed, answering her with Bianca’s reasoning.

"The important thing is that I now have a better life."

Bianca realized this too, and awkwardly stammered, quickly trying to salvage the situation: "Uh... I could actually continue talking about what happened during the battles and training."

"Haha, then I'll talk about it next time you're going to talk about it."

"Woo~" Seeing that she couldn't get any answers, Bianca hung her head dejectedly and let out a whimper.

"Mr. Flame, you like to tease me."

I wish she hadn't said those cool things back then.

The moonlight was bright, the sea breeze was cool, and the waves were lapping gently. After a long-awaited leisurely chat and some relaxation, Qi Shi began to speak.

"Bianca, quite a bit of time has passed; it's time for you to go back."

Bianca suddenly realized upon hearing this that she had been away from Schicksal headquarters for quite some time, and Rita and the others must be very worried.

"I had already forgotten that I was training before; I've been out for too long this time."

She scratched her head in frustration. Although there was no distinction between day and night, she had traveled through and saved countless worlds. Judging by her own sense of time, it must have been several days.

Chapter 54 We did make a contract...

"Hehe, don't worry too much, it hasn't been that long," Qi Shi said reassuringly.

"The flow of time is different within the world bubble; it's only afternoon at the Destiny headquarters."

Whether it's the power of the Herrscher of the Void or the ability to traverse space and time, it gives him an extremely clear and meticulous grasp of time.

I spent nearly four days in these world bubbles with different flow rates, while only a little over six hours had passed in the intrinsic world.

"I see. Thank you, Mr. Flame. I was quite startled."

Bianca breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly remembered that when she responded to the Holy Sword Durandal when she was young, the time she experienced seemed to be a little different.

Even so, she couldn't be sure of the exact time. It was good to have Mr. Flame by her side to help her; he seemed to know everything and be able to do everything.

Even though she is hailed as the strongest S-class Valkyrie, she would still have this thought involuntarily.

"By the way, don't tell bad people about my affairs."

Before leaving, Qi Shi suddenly gave her some instructions.

“You must not tell him, especially your bishop.”

"Yes, I will definitely keep Mr. Flame's matter a secret."

Upon hearing this, Bianca earnestly assured Qi Shi that since it was such a miraculous thing, it might have many impacts, and Mr. Flame must have his reasons for doing so.

She was a little puzzled as to why Mr. Flame specifically mentioned His Holiness the Bishop after saying "Don't tell bad people".

His Excellency the Bishop shouldn't be considered a bad person, right?

Suddenly she noticed the information in Qi Shi's words.

"Mr. Flame, aren't you coming back with me?"

Bianca asked hastily, unaware of the panic in her voice.

"Hehe, now that you know I'm not an elf, it's so late, so naturally I should go home," Qi Shi said with a smile.

Hearing his words, Bianca opened her mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

Yes, Mr. Flame must have his own life too, and he can't always be by my side.

But why do I have this strange feeling in my heart?

Don't be so down.

"Distance means nothing to me. I will come and continue to train you whenever I have time. After all, we have a contract. Don't let me down."

Seeing her somewhat silent expression, Qi Wen's gentle and calm voice rang out.

Hearing his words and understanding their implications, Bianca, who had been feeling down, immediately felt her gloom lifted and her eyes lit up again.

She clenched her fist and earnestly promised, "Yes! I understand. I will work hard to become stronger and will definitely not let you down, Mr. Flame!"

Her promise will never change.

We have a contract...

The scene before me was distorted; I had completely adapted to this change.

With her vision restored and seeing the familiar facilities around her, Bianca realized that she had returned to the Schicksal headquarters training grounds.

She had spent four days traveling through the Sea of ​​Quanta, traversing countless world bubbles, and upon her return, she felt a sense of déjà vu.

"Lady Durandal, you're finally back!"

Before she could continue to adjust her state, Bianca suddenly heard a familiar, joyful voice. Looking up, she saw Rita's happy face. She still had the air of an elegant maid, but her expression of relief was very obvious, and her usual proper demeanor had changed.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Rita," Bianca said apologetically, feeling embarrassed that her situation had caused her so much concern.

"It's alright, it's good that you're back." Rita said gently, without any resentment on her face.

"Hehe~ It's not just one person who's worried here."

Suddenly, a gentle voice came from the other side, accompanied by the sound of footsteps on the metal floor. A blond man walked out of the passage and spoke.

"Your Excellency!" Upon seeing the other party, Bianca immediately bowed respectfully, "Thank you for your trouble."

She never expected that it would even alarm His Holiness the bishop.

“Alright, it’s alright.” Otto waved his hand, indicating that Bianca didn’t need to be so polite, and said with a gentle smile.

"As Rita said, I'm glad you came back safely."

But in reality, he wasn't so calm just now; he only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the other party return safely.

Otto was a deep and thoughtful man, and very few things could make him change his expression. Even when the Divine Key was lost, he remained calm. The only thing in the world that could affect his emotions was anything related to Kallen.

Bianca was a crucial part of his future plans. Apart from the key K423, her existence was of paramount importance. Her sudden disappearance caught him off guard.

"Has something similar to the Holy Sword happened again?"

Otto asked, but Bianca assumed the bishop was concerned about her situation. However, the question touched on Mr. Flame, and since she wasn't good at lying, she could only give a vague and general answer.

"I guess so, pretty much."

"Hmm." Otto responded, a slight glint in the depths of his eyes, as if he were deep in thought, but he did not press further before smiling again.

"If anything unusual happens afterward, be sure to report it immediately."

"Although you have experience in this kind of thing, be careful in everything you do. Destiny cannot do without Durandal. Those young and hardworking Valkyries are all striving to be like you."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency. I understand," Bianca replied earnestly.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Otto left, which was consistent with Bianca's impression of him as someone who was extremely busy with work.

"Lady Durandal, Rita can take care of these. Lady Durandal, I've prepared clean clothes for you. Please give the clothes you need to change into to Rita. Lady Durandal..."

“Rita, I’m not at the point where I can’t take care of myself.”

Rita, concerned, led her back to her room, providing even more attentive care than usual, which made Bianca feel somewhat embarrassed and helpless. It took her a long time before she finally saw Bianca out of the room.

The room quieted down, and Bianca let out a long breath, sitting on the bed in a daze.

She slowly closed her eyes, and the next moment, the scene before her changed drastically; she had entered the spiritual world.

Looking at the pure white space around her, it was still so peaceful, but when she looked at the center of her consciousness space, the beautiful and reassuring flame was gone.

“They’ve really left…” Bianca murmured softly.

Chapter 55 appears in the real world.

Surprisingly, after just one encounter, Bianca had already grasped how to control the mental world.

This is the incredible talent of Durandal, the universally acknowledged strongest S-class Valkyrie.

Gazing at the spot where the figure had disappeared, Bianca raised her head after a moment, looking up at the sky of the pure white world, where there was an indistinct phantom.

She could vaguely make out the image of a woman, her figure so faint that it was almost impossible to spot, yet she felt a warmth emanating from it, as if it were gently embracing her.

Actually, at the time, Bianca was thinking of asking Qi Shi about this matter, since he seemed omnipotent and would definitely know.

But she ultimately couldn't speak.

Her intuition told her that if she asked the question, she would get an answer that would completely change her life, or at least she wasn't ready for a complete upheaval.

“Mr. Flame, I’m not actually as outstanding as you say.” She let out a soft sigh, but then her earnest and beautiful smile returned. “However, I will face all of this, become honest with myself, and then…”

"Let's be together again without reservation, Mr. Flame."

Inside the exquisitely decorated room, Kiana lay on the bed, breathing evenly, fast asleep with a sweet smile, lost in a pleasant dream.

"Get up, Kiana, you have a training session today."

A familiar, gentle voice came, waking her up groggily.

"Hmm~ Qi Shi, just let me sleep a little longer." Kiana, who had been woken up, said coquettishly when she saw that it was Qi Shi.

Then she thought of asking Qi Shi to help her get up and eat, and that she would come after sleeping for a little while longer.

But when Kiana looked at the other person, she paused for a moment, then raised her hands and rubbed her eyes.

Looking at the familiar shapes within Qi Shi's spiritual space, and then at the surrounding scene of her own bedroom, after confirming what was happening before her eyes, an expression of uncontrollable joy appeared on her face.

"Qi Shi, you can appear in the real world now!"

"Yes, as my strength has gradually increased, I've been able to do this." Qi Shi replied with a smile.

In fact, he could do it before and manipulate real objects, but back then, even if he manifested in the real world, it was just a projection of his mind, and he couldn't really touch it. Everything could only be controlled by power.

With the significant boost received from Bianca, the energy intensity was further enhanced and replenished. Now, Qi Shi's power has reached a new level, and he is able to condense the intangible into a physical form.

He originally thought that in the future he would create a body for himself and then undergo a super transformation surgery, so that he could obtain a very powerful super-transformed warrior body that could easily live for tens of thousands of years.

But after careful consideration, he finally decided to choose the path of condensing himself into a real entity.
