I am in the abyss of Collapse

For 50,000 years, the Key of God has not had any after-sales maintenance, so it is not impossible for some loopholes to appear that can be exploited by the Herrschers...

After all, they are Herrschers. Except for some who purely display the power of nature, the powers of other Herrschers are extremely strange:

Controlling life and death, spreading terrible attacks through specific words and sounds, and even specializing in anti-Honkai energy... I really can't understand why the Herrscher has such power...

There are so many types, and it is not impossible for someone to appear now who can use the memories preserved in [Yu Duchen] to create an accurate phantom of pain in other people's hearts with his mouth.

Fortunately, [Yu Duchen] was just unusable and did not launch any mental attacks on her - now the phantom that was arguing with her was not very threatening, and its attitude... was also a bit weird.

Yes, she is the weird one, not me.

Shibao comforted himself in this way.

Fu Hua vaguely sensed the complex emotions in the eyes of the Herrscher of Consciousness. She twisted her wrist and finally stopped being silent. She said, "I support your plan. You can use [Yu Du Chen]."

"?"

The pupils of the Herrscher of Knowledge shrank. "What? But... aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid that I will use the Key of God directly..."

"You can't do it, and besides... you won't do it."

Fu Hua's expression was very calm. She reached out and handed over the feather stained with quantum corrosion: "Because you don't have much time to waste."

"...I'll keep an eye on you, don't try to do anything."

Fu Hua snorted after hearing Shibao's words.

She probably had some ideas about the existence of this "Fu Hua".

The Herrscher of Consciousness pinched the feather. She could feel that the Key of God had released its authority. Now her spirit and Honkai energy had been immersed in it. With the help of the Herrscher Core that she had robbed, her spiritual ability was strengthened again.

At least now, Shibao felt that he could double the duration of the mental connection!

Although she still doesn't know how much pressure it will put on her to access Xilin's heart, Shibao has made up her mind to hold on until the last second and give Luo Lin enough time.

Shibao secretly made up his mind and said, "There is one more thing. Regardless of whether we can successfully use the mind link, as the initiator, most of your thoughts will be known to Xilin and me during the link process... Of course, if you are not willing to do this, I can appropriately reduce the quality and level of the link..."

"No, that's it."

Luo Lin said: "The biggest reason why things have come to this point is concealment and deception. Now, only by exchanging sincerity for sincerity can the conversation proceed smoothly..."

"it is good."

The two continued forward, heading towards the direction where the Honkai energy reaction was the strongest.

Soon, they saw the purpose of this trip.

The purple-haired girl sat on the golden frame of the portal. She looked up and saw that the dark clouds summoned by the Herrscher of Thunder had dissipated at some point, revealing the moon. However, it was still hazy and unclear.

Luo Lin originally thought that there would be countless Honkai beasts protecting her, or at least a few Temple-level Honkai beasts with shields like in the battlefield of memories...

But there was nothing beside the portal except Xilin.

Only the portal was diligently outputting Honkai energy. Sirin absorbed the energy it emitted, which meant that the Herrscher of the Void's battle suit had not yet been fully condensed. It was draped over the purple-haired girl like a transparent model.

She was still wearing the clothes that Luo Lin had personally picked out for her from her closet.

As if hearing a noise, Xilin lowered her head and locked onto Luo Lin with her golden eyes with crosshairs.

"fraud."

"Ci Lin..."

"I thought that someone like you who schemed and schemed would find a deserted place to be lost alone after your plan failed... I just decided to fly high in the sky and use Honkai energy to wash the city remotely, so that I don't have to see your disgusting face again."

"Plan?" Luo Lin asked, "What plan?"

The purple-haired girl said indifferently: "Just like you let Raiden Mei plunder the power of the Herrscher of Lightning, you use Cecilia's identity to let Kiana take the authority of the Herrscher of Sky from me... Finally, you can easily kill me who has lost my power. This is your plan - it is almost successful."

Luo Lin was speechless. She shook her head and said, "I have never thought of such a plan before."

"You're still full of lies... Are you still trying to attract my attention and let that guy next to you who's good at using psychic abilities sneak attack me?"

Looking at the light gradually emanating from Yu Duchen in the hands of the Herrscher of Consciousness, Xilin slightly adjusted her sitting position, and the golden Sub-Sky Spear gathered around her, aiming at Luo Lin and Shibao.

"No, the reason I brought her here is just to expose my thoughts and feelings to you and talk to you sincerely."

Luo Lin spread his arms and stepped forward, exposing his chest completely to Xilin's shooting field of view.

"Fu Hua, let's start the mind connection now."

"Right now? She's still watching!"

"let's start."

The Herrscher of Consciousness bit her lip and used her mind to connect [Yu Duchen] and the Herrscher core. Her invisible mental tentacles rested on Luo Lin's body - she could already feel Luo Lin's nervousness and anxiety, and the moment her mind touched Luo Lin, the girl's thoughts were clearly transmitted to the Herrscher of Consciousness's mind.

Will she attack?

Will she believe me?

[Shibao, you can't be so lame! ]

[Xilin, stop being a pufferfish and show your angelic side!]

[We still have too many things to do, too many regrets to make up for, too many tragedies to save, how can we stand still here? ]

"Looking at the way you look, I thought you were confident..."

The Herrscher of Consciousness smacked his lips and threw the other end of the mind link towards Xilin.

The purple-haired girl blinked, and everything Luo Lin was thinking was being transmitted to her through invisible tentacles.

She did not refuse, but she did not join the mind link either. She just accepted the information unilaterally.

"…What is a pufferfish?"

----------

There are a lot of things to do during holidays, so let’s do some rescue work. Good night!

Volume 186: Carrot and stick are the most effective: Chapter 4 Chapter True Love for You (K)

Facing the purple-haired girl's question, Luo Lin answered with sweat on his forehead: "Pufferfish, pufferfish is a kind of fish that can absorb water and swell, and use its size to deter other predators..."

However, after establishing the mental link, her thoughts and ideas were also transmitted to Xilin uncontrollably.

[The pufferfish is Xilin. 】

Xilin: “?”

The corner of the Herrscher of Knowledge's mouth twitched. Even she didn't expect that Luo Lin would actually be thinking about something so nonsensical at this moment...

The purple-haired girl's originally indifferent expression also showed a slight fluctuation, and she was obviously very confused by Luo Lin's idea.

"What on earth is going on in your mind? Why do you associate humans with fish?"

Luo Lin continued to explain: "But pufferfish..."

Before she finished speaking, Shibao and Xilin already knew what she was going to say next.

[Pufferfish are quite cute. They become round after absorbing water and eat carrots with a crunchy sound. It sounds very relaxing.]

Somehow, Luo Lin actually sent a short video using the mind link. It was a scene of an angry puffer fish chewing carrots, and the sound was as sour as Luo Lin said.

"You actually think I look like this thing!? Whether it's the color or the size, do I look even a little bit like it?!"

Sirin's voice rose an octave, and her originally calm face was distorted, even a little red because of anger, making her look less like a world-destroying Herrscher and more like an ordinary, angry child.

Because of the Herrscher of the Void's anger, the Honkai energy condensed around him, forming a materialized Honkai energy light that oppressed Luo Lin and Shi Bao's nerves.

The Herrscher of Knowledge was fine, but Luo Lin felt a little chest tightness. She coughed, but the girl did not pause for long. She said without hesitation: "It's not the appearance or color, it's because of the personality, Xilin."

"Puffers often absorb water to swell up due to external stimuli, but that swelling can only bring intimidation, which is false strength. You have also swelled up more than once after gaining new power, thinking that you will definitely win, but then you were beaten by the warriors who came from all directions and deflated... Isn't this false strength?"

"..."

Xilin's expression became even uglier. She gritted her teeth and said, "Who knew those guys would be so exaggerated - especially that Ruler of Reason, who ruined my plans time and time again! If I were given another chance, I would..."

"Then I am sure you will be defeated by them, Xilin."

Luo Lin said firmly: "Because your mind is just like those powers, they are all falsely strong - tell me, Xilin, why do you want revenge?"

The purple-haired girl's tone was filled with hatred: "Because of those guys from Destiny! They put me in prison without any explanation, bullied the weak, injected Honkai energy into my body, and laughed while watching me suffer. They are the most inhumane guys!"

"Yes, I also think they are inhumane."

Luo Lin also felt from the bottom of her heart that those researchers had some problems in their brains. Not to mention whether there were any problems with the process, they just randomly picked little girls to do experiments and treated them as consumables... I'm afraid that they have been poisoned by black technology and have completely lost their humanity.

After all, most of the technologies that Tianming is researching are the legacy of a previous civilization. That previous civilization was almost destroyed by various Herrschers, and its research was radical and unscrupulous. I'm afraid those researchers and scientists were also affected by the madness and despair in the data, and were assimilated into unscrupulous lunatics.

Although Xilin didn't quite understand what Luo Lin was thinking of as "pre-civilization" and "legacy", she knew that the girl had no sympathy for those damn guys and was even full of disgust. So Xilin calmed down a little, squinted her eyes and listened to Luo Lin's words.

"So, you killed them - at that time, you were planning to continue to take revenge on Destiny, right?"

"Yes."

"But why didn't you continue to take revenge on Destiny? After that, weren't Theresa, Siegfried, and even Cecilia your friends all Destiny's people? Was it because you couldn't defeat them..."

Xilin was furious again: "How could I not win? With the power of God, I can easily destroy this world!"

"You can indeed destroy this world, Xilin. If you had stayed on the moon and thrown meteorites at the earth for fun, a few every day, and each time they hit the center of an important human city..."

Luo Lin slowly suggested to Xilin: "Or you can just move a large enough meteorite from the asteroid belt and smash it into the earth, directly changing the earth's environment, causing humans to die from climate change and reduced food production... Oh, don't forget to knock down the God's Key that is floating in the sky and is used to repair the earth's environment."

"Luo Lin?! What are you talking about?!"

Not to mention knowing the treasure, even Xilin's eyes widened because of Luo Lin's words: "Are you serious? Telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I will really do this after I get out of here?"

"That's your business. I'm just demonstrating to you that you can indeed destroy this world easily... But even so, you can't beat those old acquaintances."

Luo Lin spread out her hands: "I think you returned to Earth from the moon to prove yourself to a large extent. You were able to defeat them after gaining new strength... You have an unyielding will. You keep fighting despite repeated failures. Do you feel that you are very similar to the fish called 'pufferfish' that I mentioned earlier?"

"..."

The Herrscher of Consciousness looked around and found that there were more and more materialized Honkai energy points around Sirin. Some of them even condensed into fragments and fell to the ground, dotting the asphalt road with a gorgeous purple.

——Luo Lin, don’t talk about pufferfish! I’m afraid!

Unfortunately, Shibao only thought so in her heart. She did not send these words to Luo Lin through the mind link, for fear of disturbing the other party's train of thought.

"Then, let's make an assumption. You killed Theresa, Siegfried, Cecilia... even Otto, all of them. You destroyed the headquarters of the Destiny, banished that damn floating island to the imaginary space, and killed all the guys wearing the Destiny uniforms and those related to the Destiny..."

The black-haired girl wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and asked loudly: "Then what? What are you going to do?"

Xilin felt something was wrong, but she followed her heart and said directly: "Then? Of course, destroy this world?"

"very good!"

Luo Lin clapped her hands, her face full of relief: "This is an extraordinary choice by the Herrscher, Xilin - putting aside those disgusting adults, you have killed tens of thousands... billions of children, just like you once did."

Her words exploded in Xilin's mind like thunder, and the purple-haired girl stared at Luo Lin blankly with her mouth half open.

Luo Lin smiled, but it was so bitter. She said in a hoarse voice: "They should have lived their lives quietly, and then, because of your choice, it's like those researchers stretched out their hands to you and your friends without any consultation..."

"Oh!"

The black-haired girl made an explosion gesture and suddenly raised her voice: "They died meaninglessly because of you, Sirin - a person who prayed to God for strength in order to resist the oppression of the strong on the weak, and finally succeeded. You turned around and became a powerful Herrscher, killing countless 'Aurora, Agatha, Galina'..."

"Just for revenge... humph."

Luo Lin's words were full of disdain: "Xilin, have you figured out the target of your revenge?"

"Those researchers? You killed them all a long time ago, but as far as I know, there are still institutions similar to the Babylon Laboratory in the world. They have been conducting those damn experiments for more than ten years, killing innocent boys and girls... Oh, no, they are not picky, as long as they are human."

As the black-haired girl spoke, her mind naturally surged with the news she had seen in the Destiny Intelligence Department - there was too much, almost everywhere in the world.

Anyone who has learned about the "natural phenomenon" of [Honkai Impact] will feel panic, especially those in power. They cherish their lives very much and are quite afraid of this kind of disaster that may erupt at any time and place. For this reason, they will wield the sticks of money and power to find ways to resolve the disaster.

No matter what the price, as long as I am not included in the price.

Xilin frowned: "And you just watched?"

"Just go and kill all the researchers like you did? Please, I don't have a convenient skill like teleportation. They will run away even if I go to find them." Luo Lin said, "Besides, it's not like I haven't done it before. Tianming also has such a mission..."

Luo Lin's emotions were conveyed to the purple-haired girl without reservation. She could feel the Valkyrie's helplessness and bitterness - it was an unfathomable feeling of powerlessness.

[But people can never be killed... Kill one batch and another batch will appear... I don't know where all these crazy people come from. Not all of them have the legacy of pre-civilization like Otto, but they all embark on this path of human experimentation... Why? ]

yeah why?

For the first time, Xilin began to think seriously about this problem.

"Maybe it's because of survival, but more of it is profit."

Luo Lin whispered, "Honkai energy, Honkai energy, Honkai can do anything... What a fantastic energy source this is. Apart from being not very friendly to living things, its benefits are simply too numerous to mention..."
