The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

He killed Sirin, seized the core of the Herrscher of the Void, and used both the powers of Void and Reason, but he was completely unable to escape the erosion and damage caused by the Herrscher's core.

This is certainly due to the fact that Walter Yang is not a native Herrscher, but since he can use the power of the Herrscher of Reason, it means that even without the approval of Walter Joyce, Walter Yang is still one of the qualified people with the potential to become a Herrscher.

However, compared to Walter Yang at that time, Kiana [Hersher of Fire], who possessed five Herrscher powers at the same time, had never suffered from similar troubles.

The reason for this is that after the Herrscher successfully completes the metamorphosis process, the Herrscher Core held by the Herrscher who has completed the metamorphosis will spontaneously form a ring structure, thus entering an extremely stable state that will not even cause any erosion or damage to the body of the controller.

However, after the controller, Kiana [Hershers of Fire] who obtained the cores of other Herrschers, took the initiative to release the control of the Herrscher cores and returned them to their original owners, those cores that formed a ring structure on her Herrscher King Sword and had no rejection reaction to Herrscher of Fire immediately returned to their original state due to the loss of their owners.

Therefore, although the act of metamorphosis will change the state of the Herrscher's core, in the final analysis, the reason why the state of the Herrscher's core changes is only because it is affected by the Herrscher after metamorphosis.

——From the very beginning, what [Metamorphosis] changes is the Herrscher itself, not just the Herrscher's core.

At this moment, in the same quantum sea, there are two people who have also served as Herrschers of Reason. One of them has not yet experienced metamorphosis, while the other has already completed metamorphosis.

Then, when the latter tries to regain control of the power that should belong to him, the result is self-evident.

The first thing to collapse was the book that the three people present were standing on.

This is the entrance to the quantum sea, the gap between reality and possibility, and the space of cognition and existence created by Walter Young to prevent outsiders from mistakenly entering.

This space will not affect any dead objects, so after the Gem of Desire was thrown into the Eye of the Abyss by Cocolia, it naturally fell into the depths of the Quantum Sea.

However, it will test every life that enters it.

Of course, neither Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing] nor Li Shubai had any interest in the test set by Walter Yang.

Therefore, when Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] called out to the Herrscher Core that once belonged to her, the maze created by Walter Yang also began to collapse and disintegrate rapidly as the Herrscher Core disintegrated and scattered.

Joachim lowered his head slightly and looked at the collapsing world. After a moment's silence, he sighed softly.

As the clone left here by Walter Yang, although he has no power, he also possesses most of the knowledge and memories belonging to Walter Yang. Therefore, when he saw that this world built by his original body with all his strength was so easily disintegrated and scattered because of the order of Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings], he could instinctively understand that the mastery and synchronization rate of the power of the Herrscher of Reason, no matter which aspect, the mature woman standing in front of him who claimed to be Bronya, was higher than himself...even than the original Herrscher Walter Joyce.

“You said you were Bronya?” After accepting the fact that he would soon disappear, Joachim, who was quickly soaked in transparency and the end to the point that his entire body began to become translucent, showed an expression of helplessness and relief.

He shook his head gently and said, "I never expected that when we met as a teacher and student in Saint Freya, you, who was just a little girl at that time, have grown to such a level that even Joyce and I have not yet reached."

“Although I don’t understand why Bronya, who is shorter than I am now, suddenly grew into a mature adult in just one year, but since you can control the core of the Herrscher so easily, I certainly have no reason to continue to stop you here.”

"I have been with this core for so many years, but it abandoned me so decisively in front of you. I feel lonely when I think about it." Joachim smiled silently, showing a frustrated expression, and then his expression became serious. "However, since you will inherit the power of this core soon, I have to tell you everything that happened a year ago before I completely disappear."

“No need.” Li Shubai interrupted Joachim. He raised his fingers and pinched the collar under his face to lift it up slightly. “Although you have only seen the incarnation of that guy - the giant snake, we know the opponent who is now confronting your original body much better than you do.”

"In other words, you also know his purpose?" Joachim frowned slightly. "Then you should also understand why my original body chose to seal him here, right?"

"Of course, most people would find it hard to accept the outcome of the Stigmata Project being completed - including me, of course." Li Shubai said, "But I think you must also admit that the warrior who once experienced the extinction of civilization has a deeper understanding of the collapse than you idealists."

"He simply chose the wrong time. If, in the end, no one can come up with a better plan than the Stigmata Project when facing the End, then at that time, I think everyone would be more willing to re-identify the Stigmata Project as an alternative rather than being completely exterminated by the End."

"..." Joachim did not respond to Li Shubai's words.

Because, after Li Shubai finished speaking, his body completely dissipated.

At the same time, accompanied by a bright light, Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings], who successfully gathered the scattered Herrscher core back into her body, also regained the power that she once possessed but had chosen to abandon at the end of the world eight years ago.

Feeling the dazzling light beside him, Li Shubai subconsciously moved his gaze over, but was stunned when he saw the scene in his field of vision.

"Hmm - although this is an armor that I haven't worn for a long time, but... it seems to fit much better than I expected." Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] gently kicked her calves and feet that were completely covered by the mechanical armor, raised her forearms and palms which were also wrapped in black and white mechanical armor, and turned around in place at a slow speed. The blade-shaped wings suspended at her waist swayed up and down under the movements of the owner.

"..."

I...fuck.

This is really too much.

Li Shubai subconsciously covered his nose, which felt a little warm and like it was bleeding, and forced himself to look away from Bronya's [Secondary Silver Wings] body.

Although the dress-style armor that the grown-up Bronya originally wore was already quite pleasing to the eye, if you put your arms around her waist from under her armpits and hold Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings]'s body in your arms when doing something bad, you can clearly feel how top-notch that elegant and handsome battle suit is from her back half-hidden by her long, slightly curly gray hair and wing-shaped shawl.

However, if you compare that suit with this half-mechanical armor that is mostly made up of light mechas...

Well, there is no way to describe it in a language that is not blocked.

By the way, not to mention the short skirt and knight boots on the lower body, is the armor on the upper body serious?

It feels like it's just a bra and two strips of cloth casually wrapped around it!

If you are not careful, you will immediately be addicted to the towering peaks and deep canyons, and find it difficult to extricate yourself.

...Speaking of which, although Li Shubai had roughly figured out what the so-called metamorphosis was from Kevin's mouth, it was not until this moment that he suddenly realized it.

Indeed, given mhy's character, how could he not redesign a set of Valkyrie armor for such an important thing?

In other words... this set of armor was originally worn by Bronya eight years ago, right?

Thinking of this, Li Shubai suddenly felt that this armor, which looked extremely terrible, became a lot more reasonable.

The reason why it doesn't look like sixteen plus at all, and it looks like eighteen plus is probably because the person wearing this armor has changed.

Just when Li Shubai was daydreaming about Bronya's [Secondary Silver Wings] - or should it be [Hersher of Truth·Adult Form]'s overly powerful armor, accompanied by a shaking sound that sounded heavy and soft - the towering mountains and deep canyons suddenly appeared in front of him without warning.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Bronya [Hersher of Truth·Adult Form] bent down, looked at Li Shubai's silly face with a mixed look of expectation and teasing, and said softly: "Aren't you going to give Bronya instructions on the next step?"

Although after the time travel, this Herrscher Core that does not belong to her will eventually be returned to Walter Yang of this world, Bronya [Hershers of Truth·Adult Form] does not particularly care about the power of the Power of Reason. But it is obvious that, at least after seeing Li Shubai's reaction at this moment, Bronya [Hershers of Truth·Adult Form] feels extremely satisfied with the power of her armor.

"hiss……"

Li Shubai, who was almost completely trapped in the pair of Mount Everests, took a deep breath. He forced himself to look away and shook his head vigorously to throw all the dirty thoughts out of his brain. Then he glared at the innocent-looking Bronya [Hersher of Truth·Adult Form] with a vicious look and cursed in his heart.

This bad woman definitely did it on purpose!

At this moment, a low hissing sound suddenly echoed from the depths of the quantum sea.

After the maze constructed by Walter Young was completely solved, the nearby scene became completely dark. A matrix of rock layers and monochrome bricks was suspended in the air. Behind those messy and dark scenes, vibrations and flashes, accompanied by constantly blowing hurricanes, emerged one after another.

The umbrella-shaped spears that flew out from deep below ruthlessly slammed into the platforms suspended around them, and then with a loud bang, they gradually shattered the nearby space.

Li Shubai and Bronya [Hersher of Truth·Adult Form], whose attention was attracted by the movement coming from the depths of the Quantum Sea, could not help but be stunned. They looked at each other and saw confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

"That umbrella..." the two asked each other in unison, "Why does it look so much like Kiana's Spear of the Sky?"

Chapter 4: The Proud Black Hero (K)

At the same moment when Li Shubai and Bronya [Hersher of Truth·Adult Form] were stunned by seeing the umbrella-shaped Sub-Sky Spear.

Our lovely and kind Miss Spring Elf is escaping for her life.

“Damn it, who the hell is this bastard!!” The Fountain Spirit, who was desperately trying to avoid the frozen space, and at the same time trying to use his Sub-Sky Spear and the space vortex formed by the water flow to fight against Kevin, made a voice full of anxiety and panic, “Why is my attack completely ineffective!!”

"Well, maybe it's because your degraded power of the void is essentially just a trick that uses spring water to deceive the enemy's sight?" After completely releasing all her power, Xi'er [The Twins of the Other Shore], whose whole body was covered with Star Armor·Nightmare Star Abyss, floated lightly beside the Spring Elf. She admired the Spring Elf's extremely embarrassed posture with interest, and her mouth curled up slightly because of pleasure. The tone of her speech was relaxed and playful. "Although because it has accepted the projection of the original body, even if it is spring water, anything you call out will definitely be accompanied by the power that the Herrscher originally possessed as the original body. However, it is only a degraded power. It is natural that it can't work against the guy who once crushed the Herrscher's original body."

“So what exactly is the Herrscher that you disobedient bastards are talking about?! I’ve told you so many times that I’m just an elf, not a Herrscher! And I’ve never heard of the Herrscher of the Void!!” Seeing Seer [The Twins from the Other Shore] with her hands behind her head, looking so relaxed and having fun, which was in stark contrast to her own, the Spring Elf was so depressed that she almost vomited blood. The corners of her mouth twitched, and a big “井” character popped up on her forehead: “If that Herrscher of the Void provokes you, just go find her –!!! I *——!”

Halfway through her words, her fighting instinct, which had been squeezed to the limit by the Spring Spirit, suddenly let out a desperate scream. Feeling the abnormal sensation coming from above her head, she lowered her head at lightning speed.

At the moment she lowered her head, the place where the Spring Elf's head was originally located was completely covered by a piece of extremely cold ice.

"Also! Why did that damn Ice Face only chase me and beat me up?!!!"

"Of course it's because Seele has awakened the power of the stigma." Seele [The Twins of the Other Shore], who was following the Spring Spirit, turned around leisurely and smiled calmly at the silver-haired man who had been following closely behind him, "I'm right, Mr. Kevin."

"..." Kevin did not respond to Seele's words, but stared at the Spring Spirit's jumping appearance. Just like his flat voice, there was no emotion at all: "As an incomplete Herrscher, I can feel that your will is not a disguise. Just like the man who chose to trap me here because of different philosophies, you two are warriors fighting for humanity."

Kevin's comments did not improve the mood of the Spring Elf at all. On the contrary, she was in a terrible mood.

"You've already figured it out, so why are you still chasing me to kill me!!!!" She screamed in a voice full of grievance and madness, "I'm not your enemy! I haven't done anything to harm humanity! Do you really need to go to that extent to kill me? If that so-called Herrscher of the Void is an unforgivable villain, then go find her! Is it necessary to chase me all the way?!"

Hearing the Spring Spirit's roar full of grievance and anger, Walter Yang, who had just rebuilt his body, couldn't help but look strange.

Although he felt quite confused about everything that was happening, the moment the power of Reason suddenly disappeared, the barrier originally constructed by his body also lost its original function and appearance as the Herrscher core disappeared, and then reconstructed his body, allowing him to barely retain the ability to survive and move in the quantum sea for a short period of time after losing the power of Herrscher.

But after spending so much time together, no matter how unbelievable it was, Walter Yang could feel from the words and deeds of the Spring Elf and Kevin that the "Herrser of the Void" who he had always regarded as a scourge... did not seem to be a girl who would harm the world.

It is hard to imagine that someone as proud as a spring elf would make such a wronged cry. It is really heartbreaking and makes anyone who hears it cry...

However, Kevin was not among these people.

"I'm sorry. Although you don't have the intention to be an enemy of humans, as a life form born in the world bubble after receiving the projection of the Herrscher of the Void, you do have a Herrscher core that does not belong to this world in your body. In order to prevent you, a Herrscher that does not belong to this world, from affecting the nature of the Herrscher of the End, I cannot let you return to the real world." Kevin calmly watched the Spring Spirit who was constantly fleeing under his pursuit. Although his tone was still indifferent, perhaps because he felt a little guilty about the Spring Spirit, he finally told the reason why he had been chasing the other party. "So...stay safely in the Quantum Sea."

"Who wants to stay in such a godforsaken place?" The Fountain Elf glared at Kevin, "You bastard... I *--!!!"

Before he could finish his words, an ice spike containing terrifying power came at him at the last moment.

"Listen to what I'm saying!!!!" The Spring Elf went crazy.

“Oh my.” Seeing the Spring Elf’s gnashing teeth and extremely embarrassed expression, Xier [The Twins of the Other Shore] spread her hands with an exaggerated amplitude. Her young yet charming face showed an expression of unbearable pain for the first time in a long time. “I advise you to accept your fate. For a person like him who can’t be reasoned with, you probably can’t change his mind with words. No wonder our Anti-Entropy leader wants to keep him here even at the cost of his own life.”

"Tsk..." Feeling weak all over, the Spring Elf closed his eyes resignedly.

To be honest, she was proud by nature and realized that she had difficulty communicating with others. But compared with this man who wanted to take someone's life at the slightest disagreement, the Spring Elf felt that she was simply a kind angel.

Of course, from an objective point of view, when fighting against the demon king who was invading the world, when her teammates tried to pull her back to that world, the Spring Elf voluntarily let herself be swallowed by the space-time rift in order not to implicate her teammates. She can indeed be described as kind.

But with her proud personality, it was impossible for her to admit this.

So I have deeply reflected on how my bad habits of not speaking human words and not listening to human words have caused trouble and influence on others! I changed these bad habits immediately! Can I make that ice-faced man take back his magical powers! The spring elf thought with tears in his eyes.

At the moment when the Spring Elf closed her eyes due to fatigue and despair, Xier [Twins on the Other Side] gently raised her eyebrows.

"Ah~ah~, are you giving up already?" Then, she made a sound like a spring elf mocking her, "I thought you could hold on a little longer."

"...You!" The Spring Elf opened his eyes in frustration and glared at Xier [The Twins on the Other Side] who was making sarcastic remarks.

But in the next moment, the mouth that was about to curse suddenly closed.

A blood-colored shadow, accompanied by the sound of chains rubbing against each other, flashed past the Spring Elf and Xier [The Twins on the Other Shore] like an unstoppable flash of light. The falling icy rain and the ice that had not yet condensed were instantly shattered into pieces.

Xier [The Twins from the Other Shore]'s body appeared in front of the Spring Elf, with her arms crossed in front of her, and two huge claws floating in front of them like indestructible shields.

"..."Faced with Xi'er's [The Twins from the Other Shore] sudden move, Kevin did not show the slightest sign of wavering, nor did he ask Xi'er [The Twins from the Other Shore] the reason for her sudden change of heart. He simply raised his arm, pointed his palm in the direction of the two girls, and then, shook it loosely -

The next second, a whirlpool-like current suddenly emerged and quickly enveloped Seer [The Twins on the Other Shore] and the Spring Spirit.

Then, their bodies disappeared together in a dazzling flash.

Although the forms of expression are completely different, the manipulation and control of the water flow by the Spring Spirit is still interconnected with the Power of the Void in terms of basic principles.

Therefore, the Spring Elf is not unable to use short-distance space jumps.

Taking advantage of the gap that Xier [The Twins on the Other Side] seized, the Spring Spirit successfully transferred the two of them to a location a hundred meters away before Kevin completely froze their location.

But after appearing a hundred meters away, the Spring Spirit immediately turned around and glared at the calm Xier [The Twins on the Other Shore]: "What? Did you suddenly change your mind? Don't think that I will regard you as my companion just because you helped me once. You will have to pay for the previous offense and disrespect sooner or later."

“Yes, yes, yes, but my distinguished Elf lady, you don’t think that this level of space transfer can help us get rid of that guy, do you?” Xier [The Twins of the Other Shore] said frivolously, raising her arm and lightly hooking her index finger. “To be honest, if this wasn’t the Quantum Sea, and Kevin didn’t transform into that scary snake after Walter’s control over him disappeared... I really wouldn’t be able to do anything with this ice that can even freeze the Holy Judge of Skyfire.”

At the command, several bright red sharp shadows flashed by, and the quickly solidified ice broke apart and scattered.

The bright red shadow flashed past, leaving a dark and ominous crack in the air.

Seeing Xier [The Twins on the Other Side] easily dissolving the ice that it had no way of dealing with, and even tearing open the unstable space, the Spring Elf's eyelids twitched.

Although the power she can wield is not as large as that of the upright Herrscher of the Void, as a seasoned warrior in the original world bubble, her vision is even more vicious and sharp than that of Sirin herself.

There is no doubt that no matter whether it is the man who suddenly lost his power, or the ice-faced man who has been chasing him, or even the black-haired girl who seems to have a very strange personality and controls a very strange weapon, the strength of these three people is much more terrifying than himself... even the so-called "Demon King" who invaded his world that year.

The Spring Elf's expression changed several times. Finally, she bit her teeth as if she had made up her mind, and suddenly grabbed Xier's wrist: "You will fight against the ice controlled by that guy, and I will take you away from this damn place."

"Take me away from here?" Xi'er [Twins on the Other Shore] smiled, "Do you know how to leave the Quantum Sea?"

"It may not have worked just now, but now..." The Spring Elf raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked upwards where a faint light suddenly appeared. "I can feel that the 'door' back to the normal world has been forcibly opened by an unknown force."

"It sounds good, but I advise you to save your energy." Xi'er [The Twins of the Other Shore] suddenly swung his hands fiercely behind him, and the huge dark claws fell down and rushed behind the two of them. "Under that guy's nose, it's better not to use the kind of long-distance space jump that requires a lot of energy to accumulate."

"After all, I can't guarantee that I can protect your life from that guy's attack."

With a clang, and a sound like metal colliding with each other, the huge black claws that were running across each other were easily blocked by Kevin with his raised arms.

“You shouldn’t have cooperated with that Herrscher.” Kevin looked at Seer [The Twins of the Other Shore] expressionlessly. “Even if she herself has no intention of harming the world, her existence is an additional factor that is difficult to control for the Stigmata Project. As a holder of the Stigmata whose power has been fully awakened, you should be able to understand my behavior.”

"If you insist on stopping me—"

"So what." Xi'er [The Twins of the Other Shore] sneered, "I admit that as the strongest fusion warrior of the previous civilization, your strength is indeed very strong. But it's a pity that this Miss Spring Elf is one of the members that the captain has been looking for."

"Although I don't really expect new people to join the Hyperion... but unfortunately, that crybaby said that since the captain once promised to find the family of the forest elf lady, then as crew members, we should also help the captain solve his problems."

"What..." Hearing the names of her family members from a stranger's mouth, the pupils of the Spring Elf shrank slightly, "Forest Elf? Did you hear about me from her?"

The Spring Elf felt something strange early on. Although both the ice-faced man and the wounded man seemed to have some knowledge about her that was beyond her understanding, compared with their objective statement of the differences between the worlds from a higher perspective, the information known by the black-red-haired girl seemed to be directed at her to a greater extent.

If everything she knew came from the forest elves, then this strange thing would be explained.

"Yeah, why do you think I've been following you all this time? Isn't it because you're half of our acquaintance?" Xier [The Twins of the Other Shore] rolled her eyes at the Spring Elf and muttered, "I don't deny that you're very pretty, but... I don't like girls."
