The Dimensional Book of Collapse

Qin Mo doesn't want to see their own people killing each other.

However, exhibition matches between acquaintances for everyone to see are still acceptable.

In the past, when Youlandel needed to practice sparring, she would ask Qin Mo to fight on the sea. When fighting at their level, it is basically difficult to kill the opponent without murderous intent.

"Is that so? Then I'll be relieved."

Mei heaved a sigh of relief: "But Yulandel doesn't know yet, remember to explain it to her later."

Youlan Daier didn't tell me, but she told you directly? Is their relationship so good now?

Although Qin Mo was very happy that the relationship between the two had improved, he always felt that something was wrong.

"By the way, Mei, I don't think I've seen any lightning lately."

"what……"

Hearing Qin Mo's words, Mei Yi uttered softly, "As for thunder and lightning, I don't really want to come out recently."

"?"

Qin Mo felt that Mei must be hiding something from him.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"No, no, Mo, you're overthinking."

Looking at Meiyi, Qin Mo felt that this sentence did not seem to be a lie.

Chapter 44: Mistrynne and Alicia

On the streets of London, four beautiful figures were walking here, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

A tomboy-looking girl with short blond hair wearing a jacket and shorts, a petite girl with silver hair and red eyes, less than 1.5 meters tall, wearing a cute Lolita-style black dress and a small hat.

A queen with red hair and red eyes, wearing a military-like uniform, with a capable and cold temperament; and a queen with silver-white hair and slightly blue-purple eyes. Although there is a screw that seems to have pierced through her chest, which is a bit weird, the other party does not seem to be affected at all. Maybe it is just a weird decoration.

Even though their outfits are a little weird, the pursuit of beauty is human instinct. When four beautiful girls with their own unique characteristics walk on the street, there are naturally many people who come to chat with them.

However, the man who had frivolous intentions and wanted to strike up a conversation felt his body stiffen after being glared at by a red-haired, red-eyed queen walking in front of him as soon as he approached. He dared not move at all, as if he would be chopped by the other party if he moved.

"Natalia, you don't have to be so vigilant. These are just ordinary people, and we are just here for tourism."

Mistelline said with a smile as she looked at Natalia who had scared off another approacher.

"Of course I know, but how many of them have we seen along the way? If we don't scare them off, there will be no end to it."

Natalia's tone was a little stiff, and it was obvious that her experiences along the way had not brought her any good experiences.

"After all, it's because you let them both out. They attracted too much attention. And there's that nail in your chest. Can't you just take them back?"

Natalia looked at the other two girls following behind them and said to Mistellin somewhat unhappily, "If I want to protect you, I alone am enough."

"It would be so lonely if we took it back. We are here to travel anyway, so let No. 28 and Natya walk around with us. Maybe they can awaken their consciousness."

Mistelline didn't mind Natalia's somewhat unfriendly tone, and her tone was as gentle as ever.

"It's not that easy. Although I don't know how that person named Qin Mo made us, the materials used to make me are much more advanced than theirs."

"But, Natalia, weren't you the same as No. 28 and Natya at the beginning? I believe they can also awaken their consciousness. After all, the birth of consciousness is full of accidents and coincidences, just like my existence. However, under the premise that it has already happened once, even a miracle can be replicated."

Hearing what Mistelin said, Natalia sighed: "Whatever you want."

Looking at Natalia who had given up arguing with her, Mistellin squinted her eyes and smiled, then turned to look at the two girls who had been following behind her without saying a word.

He stretched out a hand and gently pinched the silver-haired girl's fair face.

A soft touch came from her fingertips, and Natya looked over in the direction of Misterine's movements, but her red eyes were empty and lifeless, with no sign of self-awareness.

"How did he do that?"

As a consciousness born from the holy scar, Mistrine knew that she was special.

Gray Snake once said that there was a being similar to her.

She also went to meet that person and had the same thought: why?

But now that she has calmed down and thought about it, she knows that she and Walter are different. Although the Herrscher of Reason is a fusion of the consciousness of 300,000 people, and she is also the condensation of the memories of generations within the Stigmata, but in the final analysis, Walter Joyce was originally a human being, a new consciousness condensed from the consciousness of 300,000 humans. He is both the 300,000 people themselves and one in 300,000, and he is also a Herrscher.

And she is not a human being. She is more like a carrier for recording other people's lives. It's just that because she records too much and by chance, she has gained an independent consciousness. Although she has the memories of those who once held the stigmata, and even this body and posture are derived from the saint who gave birth to her, she is not those people, nor is she Cecilia. She is an independent and completely different existence named Mistrine Shaniyat.

Compared to Walter Joyce, the existence in front of her named Natalia was more similar to her, making her feel like she had found a companion.

The three travel companions were originally given to her by Qin Mo for self-defense after he sent her out of the World Snake. Because of the screws and the fact that they were incomplete, she was unable to exert her own strength, so there was a high possibility that she would be captured again by the Gray Snake, and this time she did not have the strength to resist as before.

So Qin Mo took out the dolls he had made when he had time. Because of some past experiences, other people didn't like Qin Mo making this kind of things, so he just secretly made some using the drawings he had drawn for collection.

These puppets are a technology that only exists on the continent of Arad. The puppets created have no consciousness of their own, and even the abilities they possess are limited to a few that were set at the beginning.

But Mistelline sensed the blank souls in their bodies, and then she used her own uniqueness to give these blank souls some spiritual and common sense memories, and the strongest among them, Natalia, awakened.

It is more accurate to say that it is the birth of one’s own consciousness rather than awakening.

This consciousness has nothing to do with the memory she gave it, and it seems to have existed naturally within the puppet's body.

Mistelline learned from Natalia that this form of hers originally had an original body, and she was created with reference to the original body. She also has some of the original body's abilities, but she and the original body are two completely different existences.

Because she didn't know the original Natalia's personality, Misteleen didn't know whether the Natalia she knew in front of her was the same as the original. However, she also borrowed the posture of others and was born from the memories of others.

Mistryn felt that she might have found her true kind.

However, she tried to use the same method to activate the consciousness of the other two dolls but failed.

It cannot be said to be a failure, it just fell into oblivion and did not cause any changes. However, Mistierine felt that perhaps it was just that there was not enough time. Just like her, even though she carried the memories of so many years and generations, she was not born until Cecilia launched a full-strength attack, and then she was born by such a coincidence.

So she started traveling with Natalia and two dolls.

Because they are bound to her, the physical consumption of the three people is supported by the Honkai energy in her body.

It also added some motivation to her originally boring journey.

"Hmm? Natalia, what's wrong?"

Gathering her wandering thoughts, Mistellin turned around and saw that Natalia, who was walking in front of her, had stopped.

"Be careful, there are uninvited guests coming."

Natalia stretched out her hand, and a huge sword appeared in her hand.

The weapons equipped by the puppets themselves are naturally not real weapons, but are condensed from energy.

Mistierine also became serious and looked around, only to find that everyone around her had disappeared without her knowing when.

Now she had no fighting ability, so she had to take two steps back. Natalia seemed to sense something and took two steps forward. Her petite body stood behind Natalia and in front of Misterine, and she and No. 28 protected Misterine in the middle.

"Oh, don't be so alert, I mean no harm."

As a tender voice sounded, a girl with pink hair appeared in front of them.

"who are you!"

Natalia was not moved at all by the sudden appearance of the girl and saw the smiling expression on her face. She simply raised the giant sword in her hand and pointed it in the direction of the girl.

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

Unlike Natalia's serious and alert tone, Alicia spoke in a very relaxed manner, as if she was greeting a friend she had known for a long time.

"Hey, I've already introduced myself, why are you still so wary? I've already said I mean no harm."

Alicia pretended to be troubled: "I have already introduced myself, shouldn't you introduce yourself as well? Are you a new friend that Mistlin met? They are all cute girls."

Even Natalia could feel the closeness emanating from Alicia, but she did not believe this woman who appeared out of nowhere. A woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and showed closeness out of nowhere was suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

"Are you from the World Serpent?"

Mistelline took two steps forward, but Natalia still carefully blocked her behind her, so she had to ask through Natalia and Mistelline.

"To be precise, not really, but in this day and age, you can think of me as a member of the World Snake."

Mistierin had never seen Alicia, and when she entered the paradise, she didn't see many people either. They were not the Herrscher of Humanity, so Alicia naturally did not show up.

"Are you here to take me back?"

Since you are from the World Serpent, then you have only one purpose for coming here.

"Although I also want to take the four beautiful girls back~ But it doesn't matter if you don't go back. After all, being willful is also the privilege of beautiful girls——"

Mistrylin: "..."

Natalia: “…”

"What's wrong? Why are you all of a sudden silent?"

Alicia blinked.

"I don't know what the World Serpent is, but Mistrine doesn't want to go back to that place, so can you get out of the way?"

Natalia didn't know how to evaluate the person in front of her.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Faced with Alicia who has been showing kindness, even Natalia's personality is not good enough to take direct action.

"Don't say that. If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Are you traveling? Then I'll go with you."

Alicia didn't care about Natalia's cold words, instead she leaned forward and got closer.

Natalia subconsciously placed the giant sword against Alicia's delicate neck. Facing the weapon pointing at her vital points, Alicia showed no fear at all.

"Like you, this is my first time here too. Don't be on guard against me. You can trust Alicia as much as you want, and I will respond to you with all my heart."

Chapter 45: Mistrynne's Journey

"Natya is so cute. I really want to take her home and raise her."

On the streets of London, several people who were originally at loggerheads seemed to have become more harmonious for some unknown reason.

Although Natalia was not allowed to get too close to them due to her vigilance, Mistlin did not drive her away, and she would not do anything excessive.

After discovering that Alicia seemed to be very interested in the cute girl, Mistlin sold the cutest little loli in the team, Natya of Death, to Alicia.

Natya, a puppet without her own personality who only followed her master's orders, naturally did not resist Alicia's dishonest hands, just like an exquisite doll.

"Ah~ Natya's ears are the same as mine."

After hearing what Alicia said, Mistress also noticed Alicia's ears hidden under her pink hair.

Although mostly covered by her hair, as she shook her head, the pointed ears underneath were revealed.

"Misterine, is it really okay to let her follow us like this?"

Natalia looked at Alicia who was humming a song while hugging Natalia and asked Misterine with some dissatisfaction.

"I've already said that, Alicia just wants to take a look at the world as it is now. If you warn me like that, I'll cry~"

Putting down the unresisting Natalia, Alicia took a few steps towards Natalia, then stopped because of Natalia's giant sword: "But, are Natalia and Natalia really not human?"

"What's wrong with me not being human?"

Natalia didn't have a good face towards Alicia.

"Don't reject me so much, I just want to get closer to everyone."

Alicia pretended to be a little sad: "Besides, if you want to talk about humans, I am not a human either."

"Are you too..."

Natalia softened a little when she heard Alicia's words.

"He is a Heroic Spirit, now a Servant. He is a person who died a long time ago."

Alicia's words made Natalia, who was originally a little moved, blush instantly.

Although it is unknown how she, as a puppet, managed to do this, the anger in her body is clearly visible to the naked eye.

"How dare you play tricks on me!"

As he said that, he swung the Conqueror's Wings in his hand and slashed at Alicia, but Alicia dodged it with a smile.

"Don't be so angry, relax a little, okay?"

But it was obvious that Natalia was angry and didn't want to hear this. She waved the Conqueror's Wings and chased after Alicia.

Mistellin did not stop her. On the one hand, Natalia was obviously not serious. On the other hand, she also wanted to find out what Alicia's purpose was.

The other party appeared in front of her, but had no intention of being an enemy, and according to her previous understanding.
