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

Maria immediately released the white flower, but it was too late. In the next second, she was beheaded by Delta's right arm, which had transformed into a sharp blade.

Thus, the battle in the Trial Grounds came to an end, ending with both sides suffering heavy losses.

"As expected... even though their strength has improved a lot, the difference in experience between the two sides is too great."

Qiu Bi murmured to himself, then glanced at Delta, who had reappeared beside him, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Lady Maria is indeed very strong."

This was Delta's first impression.

"This place is amazing, it has actually come back to life."

This was Delta's second feeling.

Delta had originally planned to heal her injuries by consuming the Honkai Beast corpses in her "portable space," but she was resurrected the next second, which left her somewhat bewildered.

Qiu Bi glanced sideways at Delta, then explained, "'Paradise of the Past' is essentially a space of memories. We're all essentially 'playing a game,' so naturally we can resurrect infinitely."

Otherwise, Angeline would not have been unable to enter the Trial Grounds.

Delta narrowed her beautiful eyes and revealed a joyful smile.

"Teacher, does this mean I've passed the trial or failed?"

"I'm not quite sure, perhaps Alicia can answer that for me."

As he spoke, Mu Changqing looked toward the purple door that had quietly appeared in the distance.

Once they pass through the purple door, the three of them can leave the trial grounds.

……

Paradise of the past.

Angeline silently moved away from Alicia, who was almost touching her.

"So your experience was so tragic... Come here! Accept a hug from a beautiful girl, maybe it can ease your inner pain and guilt~"

"...No need."

Angeline refused Alicia's request without batting an eye, then asked, "How are Dad and the others doing?"

"Oh dear, Angeline, it's just you and me here, why bother about other people's business?"

"..."

Angeline didn't know how to answer, so she simply chose to remain silent.

Seeing this, Alicia sighed in disappointment, then explained, "It's a pity, but it seems that Delta failed. Even if they fought to the death, they still couldn't be judged as having passed the trial."

"Is it that difficult?"

Angeline frowned slightly.

Delta is currently very strong, capable of dealing with most enemies below the level of Herrscher, so she shouldn't be unable to pass this mere trial...

"The difficulty of the Trial Grounds actually varies depending on the trial participants' experience and background. As for Delta... her final enemy was a girl named 'Maria Schariac,' who was quite strong."

“Aunt Maria? Then I think I know why she failed.”

Maria can be considered the strongest S-class Valkyrie in Destiny today. Although she was overwhelmed by Wendy, her strength is not weak.

Even though Delta made up for her physical defects, she still couldn't defeat Maria in her prime.

Chapter 230 "The Illusionary God of Civil War"

Paradise of the past.

Qiu Bi, Xilin, and Delta returned to the place through the purple door and immediately saw Angeline and Alicia sitting on the guest sofa.

"Welcome back, how are you feeling?"

"The Trial Grounds are quite useful."

Qiu Bi gave a concise evaluation.

Although he doesn't need the Trial Grounds, the Valkyries can receive a significant boost.

Qiu Bi's "contract" ability makes him unsuitable for personal combat.

Rather, after experiencing his "contract" ability, no one would want him to fight personally.

"It's a pity, but Delta's trial ended in failure~"

"Is the condition for passing the trial that you don't die after defeating the final enemy?"

"Of course, after all, it's about improving one's own strength. If it always ends in mutual destruction, wouldn't that seem rather 'tragic'?"

Alicia walked slowly towards Qiu Bi and the others, then opened her arms and smiled, saying, "Siri, my little cutie, how about a loving hug?"

Upon hearing this, Sirin hesitated for a few seconds, then took a light step and rushed into Alicia's arms.

Perhaps Alicia simply wanted to hug the cute girl, but Sirin saw this hug as an opportunity to experience the warmth of "Alicia's mother" in advance.

Then, Alicia hugged Sirin and continued to explain.

"Simply reach out and touch it to activate the device, thus allowing repeated entry into the Trial Grounds."

"However, frequent entry into the Trial Grounds will place a great burden on your mind, so you need to pay close attention to your mental state at all times."

Alicia spoke in a very light and cheerful tone, as if she was always in a pleasant and happy mood.

Qiu Bi pondered for a few seconds, then whispered a reminder: "Delta, don't forget to call me every time you enter the Trial Grounds."

"Teacher, are you going to accompany me into the trial grounds?"

"Hmm, I'm a little worried about you participating in the trial alone."

Qiu Bi nodded gently, then reached out and stroked Delta's hair.

Delta let out a soft "hmm" and let Qiu Bi stroke her hair.

Alicia reached out and rubbed Sirin's cheek, asking with a smile, "Lovely Sirin, aren't you going to experience the Trial Grounds?"

"Well……"

Sirin frowned and pondered for a moment, then refused, saying, "Sirin doesn't need to! This place won't help Sirin much, at least not in terms of helping Sirin counterattack 'Honkai'."

"Then, how about you stay here with me for a while?" Alicia extended an invitation. "I get really bored staying in the Paradise of the Past all by myself all the time."

"Sister Alicia, where are the other heroes of the Land of the Dead?"

"Them..."

Alicia paused for a second, then continued to explain, "They're not like me, always staying in the Land of the Dead. After all, they all have their own things to do."

"So... what are the other heroes busy with?"

Xilin blinked her beautiful eyes and began to inquire about the other heroes.

Since they are the "Thirteen Heroes Who Chase Fire," Sirin doesn't believe that only Alicia is a woman.

Xilin had already made a decision to turn all the women in "The Thirteen Heroes of the Flame Chaser" into "mothers".

If you encounter a woman who cannot become your "mother," then make her your "sister."

In addition, we must find a way to recruit the heroes into the magical girl army and make them serve as "strategists".

If circumstances allowed, Sirin would have even considered moving the entire Paradise of the Past along with it.

"Hmm~ The other heroes all have strange personalities, but they will definitely like Xilin, after all, Xilin is a cute and beautiful girl."

"Yes, yes! Sirin is still the strongest magical girl!"

Sirin nodded in agreement with Alicia's words, then feigned curiosity and asked, "Sister Alicia, where are the other heroes?"

"Now is not the time to get to know other heroes; we should at least wait until someone has passed through the Trial Grounds."

Alicia and Sirin speak in similar tones, giving off a cute and coquettish feeling without seeming forced.

Upon hearing Alicia and Sirin's conversation, Delta pondered for a few seconds, then tugged at Qiu Bi's sleeve.

"Teacher, I want to continue into the Trial Grounds."

"Then I'll go with you."

sound off.

Qiu Bi looked at Angeline and said, "I'll leave Xilin to you for now, Angeline."

"Dad, don't worry about leaving it to me."

Angeline's easy response put Qiu Bi at ease.

Compared to Celine, whose personality is like that of a child, Angeline's personality is undoubtedly much more mature.

Perhaps realizing that Qiu Bi didn't trust her, Xilin immediately pouted, becoming even more determined to create more mothers for herself.

As long as I arrange enough "wives" for my father, he will definitely think I am very capable and eventually trust me completely.

Little did Qiu Bi know that it was precisely because Xilin liked to find a "new mother" that Qiu Bi was worried about leaving Xilin alone in the Land of the Dead.

If Xilin is left alone in the Land of the Dead, Qiu Bi might inexplicably acquire several new wives one day.

Wendy is the most obvious example.

……

Strength doesn't seem to be a necessity in the Trial Grounds, at least not enough to determine the final outcome.

Delta was prepared to face Maria again, but this time the final boss turned out to be Kallen.

Compared to Maria, Kallen is much weaker, but she is still not someone that Delta can defeat.

In terms of combat experience, Kallen has far more experience than Maria, not to mention that she also possesses the "Eleventh Divine Key - Key of Binding - Oath of Judah".

Without even needing to fight personally, Kallen can simply activate "Judah's Oath - Zero Rated Power - Divine Grace Barrier" to nullify all Honkai energy, and even other forms of energy will be weakened to varying degrees.

Although Delta is still human at heart, she can now be regarded as an "alternative Honkai Beast".

Therefore, after Kallen activated the "Divine Grace Barrier", Delta was defeated and died without any doubt.

"Teacher, can I really pass through the Trial Grounds?"

After two consecutive failures and deaths, Delta had become somewhat withdrawn, staring blankly at Karen standing in the middle of the trial grounds.
