K424 of the Collapse World

"But...! What should we do if the Honkai beast attacks again without us?"

"Don't worry, this town has grown to such a scale that once it is discovered by the government, it will definitely be designated as a protected area. So, there is no need to worry about everyone being threatened by collapse."

While comforting the worried Kiana, Siegfried smiled again when he saw his daughter caring about the safety of others. He felt relieved that his two years of education had yielded such results.

"But it's not too late to at least say goodbye to everyone before leaving...Will they worry about us if we leave without saying goodbye?"

Kiana heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but still asked Siegfried with some dissatisfaction. No matter what, it was not so easy for her to let go of the people she had been with day and night for more than two years.

"It's okay. I left a note in advance, saying we're leaving. But speaking of goodbye...if we say goodbye like this, everyone will definitely try their best to keep us. Kiana, facing everyone's attempts to keep us, can you really refuse without hesitation and insist on leaving?"

"I……"

After hearing this, Kiana thought about it for a moment, then lowered her head and stopped talking, looking a little depressed.

"Okay, don't be sad. Facing separation calmly is what a hero should have..."

Seeing Kiana's reaction, Siegfried smiled and shook his head, taking his hand off the girl's head. The next moment, he turned his head and looked at the distant horizon behind him, his eyes gradually becoming solemn.

(If I'm not mistaken, the floating battleship that flew over there before should be the Destiny... What happened over there? Forget it, let's not get involved in this mess. Kiana's safety is the most important.)

Thinking of this, Siegfried lowered his head and continued walking forward.

At this time, Kiana looked behind her with some concern, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She always felt that there was a familiar fluctuation in that direction, which resonated with the energy in her body...

——Beep, beep, beep…!!

Suddenly, the detector that Siegfried was carrying lit up, followed by a burst of urgent alarm sounds! Siegfried hurriedly took it out of his coat pocket and unfolded it in front of him.

"Strong Honkai energy reaction? At six o'clock, the level is predicted to be... Herrscher level! How is that possible?!"

Looking at the information displayed on the screen, Siegfried was immediately shocked. He turned around and stared at the direction behind him with wide eyes. On the horizon where there was no strange phenomenon, a few flickering lights could be seen faintly. Although they disappeared in an instant, Siegfried saw them. Combined with the information from the Honkai energy detector, he was convinced of the authenticity of the current situation.

“Damn it…! At a time like this…”

He shook his head in annoyance, somewhat hesitant. Based on the previous situation, it was not difficult for him to guess that the third collapse should have occurred nearby, and the third Herrscher had also appeared. Thinking of the warships he had seen before, they should be the troops sent by the Destiny Organization to fight against the Herrscher.

Thinking of this, Siegfried fell into confusion again. As a warrior of the Kaslana family, it was his duty to fight against Honkai. But on the other hand, he was now a traitor to the Destiny Organization. If he appeared on the battlefield rashly, who knows what unexpected situation might happen.

(What should I do…? Should I leave it alone or join the battle? If I join the battle, Kiana’s safety won’t be guaranteed. What if something happens to her…!)

Siegfried looked at Kiana who was also staring blankly into the distance, his expression becoming more and more bitter. Although he had already made a choice in his heart, he was still tormented by this feeling of entanglement.

(But! If I don’t go, if the Destiny guy is defeated, the Third Herrscher will definitely explore the surroundings and destroy all human civilizations around, then…)

Thinking of this, Siegfried turned his head solemnly, looked at the town that was already far away from here, and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

(People living there will be in danger! In this situation, it seems that there is no choice...)

"Dad, what exactly is that...?"

"A special Honkai disaster, the enemy is likely to be a Herrscher! Sorry, Kiana... the original plan has changed, we have to go there, if we can't stop this...

If it collapses, everyone in the town will be in danger!"

Siegfried took a deep breath, closed his eyes and spoke, with a sense of relief in his voice.

As expected, he could not just sit and watch the Honkai disaster wreak havoc, and taking the initiative to destroy it was the best approach for him!

(When the Herrscher is just born, its own power is not too strong. If you want to kill it completely, the best time is now!)

"Let's go, Kiana! No need to be nervous, just do as we did before and destroy this Honkai too!"

"Um……"

Having made the decision, Siegfried resolutely ran towards the direction showing the Honkai energy response. He did not consider in detail how to fight the Herrscher. As long as he had decided on something, he would just do it directly. That was Kaslana's way!

Kiana also took a step and followed closely behind him. However, she looked a little dazed...

(What on earth is that over there? This strange resonance is very similar to my energy, but there is a subtle difference, so...what is it?!)

However, at this moment, neither Kiana nor Siegfried noticed that not far behind them, the space was slightly distorted, forming a human figure, which disappeared the next second...

At this moment, what Siegfried didn't know was that on the battlefield dozens of kilometers away from him, the battle between Destiny and Anti-Entropy had entered a white-hot stage.

Although the scale of the battle was not large, with the high-tech weapons of both sides, the battle between about a hundred Valkyries and dozens of mechas was as powerful as a battle between thousands of troops!

"Don't be afraid! Anti-Entropy's strongest force has been temporarily contained by the battleships. The heavy troops will go up and fight against Anti-Entropy's mechas."

On the battlefield, a Valkyrie captain shouted loudly, raised the force field shield on her wrist, and tried her best to block the heavy punch of a Titan, preventing it from moving forward.

This is not the case in other parts of the battlefield. Ordinary Valkyries find it difficult to fight against the Anti-Entropy Mecha in a one-on-one situation. Only multiple B-class Valkyries can compete with a mecha.

As the battle progressed, the Valkyrie troops gradually recovered from the shock of the "Third Herrscher" and reorganized their situation, engaging in a fierce battle with the Anti-Entropy mecha. Soon, the Valkyrie, who had an advantage in numbers, turned the situation around and surrounded the mecha troops again. As a result, the Anti-Entropy troops' speed of breaking through also slowed down...

·————————————·

"The enemy's goal is to break through our encirclement. We don't need to fight the mechas head-on, we just need to contain them!"

At this time, in the communications room of the command center of the Mandate Headquarters, Claudia was issuing combat orders in an orderly manner, sending the instructions to the communications of each Valkyrie captain, who then commanded the operations in real time.

Seeing the situation on the ground battlefield gradually gaining the upper hand, Claudia did not show any joy. She looked at a communication message on the side of the small light screen beside her and frowned in confusion.

"You won't send any reinforcements? Lord Otto, what exactly are you planning? I'm afraid we won't be able to fight that guy with just the troops we have on the battlefield..."

Claudia muttered to herself, casting her gaze towards the large light screen image in the communication center, her expression gradually becoming solemn.

In the video, the girl with the Wings of Thunder and the battleship each occupied a piece of the sky, competing against each other in the sky. Purple lightning and the battleship's beam cannons continued to interweave, and bursts of strong light mixed with lightning exploded in the air. However, compared to the floating battleship with full firepower, the girl surrounded by lightning seemed to still have some reservations.

“Cecilia… No, the Third Herrscher! What are you planning to do? If you use the same attack as before, you can easily destroy a warship of this level, right? But why…”

117 Intersection Points >>

Claudia was puzzled. He had the ability to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, but he didn't do it. Moreover, the girl standing in the air didn't look weak at all, so it was unlikely that she was over-exerting herself.

"Or... are you just playing? How arrogant... However, with your strength as a Herrscher, you are indeed qualified to do so, treating everything as your playthings, just like your kind!"

Claudia's eyes darkened as she muttered to herself. She looked at the indifferent girl floating in the air on the screen and couldn't help but clench her fists.

"Damn Herrscher, if it weren't for guys like you..."

Thinking of the comrades who died in the battle ten years ago, a hint of hatred appeared in her cold eyes. While taking a deep breath, Claudia opened the combat communication again and carefully observed the current battle situation.

There is no need to think too much about the past. The most important thing now is to consider how to deal with the Third Herrscher in front of us!

·————————————·

"Damn it! You guys are so annoying!"

With Tesla's annoyed voice, the frozen earth armor, which is a circle larger than the regular Titan, was under her control.

He suddenly jumped up, raised his heavy mechanical arm high, and smashed down towards several Valkyries in front of him!

The Valkyries hurriedly scattered around to avoid the heavy punch of the mecha, but the moment the iron fist of the frozen armor hit the ground, a strong shock wave of frost exploded! The Valkyries around were thrown away and rolled to the side, obviously losing consciousness.

"Don't fight to the end! Breaking through is our primary goal. Do everything we can to get rid of them. As long as we can break out successfully, we will win!"

Shouting this in the public channel, Tesla began to concentrate on driving the mecha, defeating the Valkyries that blocked the way along the way, and opening a path for the troops following behind.

"Dr. Tesla, that being said... it's not that easy!"

An agent smiled bitterly, driving his mecha to fight with several Valkyries. The other side refused to fight him head-on, but retreated after one strike, and then launched a long-range attack with guns. When he was about to break through by force, these Valkyries surrounded him again, blocking his movement, and so on...

The same situation also occurred in other places on the battlefield. For the Valkyries, fighting these large mechas was just like fighting against huge Honkai beasts. They had a lot of experience in this. However, even so, the various attack methods of the mechas also caused some casualties among the Valkyries.

--boom!

A high-energy beam burst out from the shoulder cannon of a magnetic storm mecha, and hit the middle of several gathered Valkyries! Accompanied by a blazing explosion, the figures of several Valkyries were instantly engulfed by the flames of the explosion and disappeared in a cloud of dust...

In another place, a Titan mech that was mismanaged had its detector destroyed by a Valkyrie holding an energy javelin while its shield was cooling down. Then, the mech, which had lost its vision, was engulfed by a barrage of artillery fire that had completed its energy storage...

These scenes are just a corner of the battlefield. These tragic scenes are shown on the battlefield all the time. But no one on the scene cares about these things. For both sides of the war, they have reasons not to give in.

Although the shield of the assault mecha was quite powerful, it could not withstand such consumption. Gradually, the energy shield of the mecha unit began to be weakened, and the situation began to become urgent.

"Dr. Tesla, please think of a solution! If this continues..."

"I know!"

Tesla gritted her teeth when she heard the panicked voice coming from the communication. While operating the mecha in the battle with the Valkyrie, she also had to distract herself from the battle command, which consumed a lot of energy.

"But the current situation..."

Tesla once again launched the shockwave of the frozen earth armor to force the Valkyrie back, and her expression became more and more anxious. In the spare time of the battle, she turned on the secondary detector and displayed the scene above on the image.

Looking at Lan Feng who was fighting against the Destiny battleship in the image, Tesla's expression was slightly dazed, and then his eyes fixed.

(It seems that the key to breaking the deadlock lies in you... Shirley. But we can't keep holding you back!)

Thinking of this, she resolutely turned on the rampage device on the console. The next moment, the small collapse furnace inside the frozen earth armor began to operate at high energy...

·————————————·

"...Target the Third Herrscher, all ships armed and firing at full power!"

Inside the bridge of the Destiny Battleship, Nolius, the captain looked at the battle orders issued by the headquarters with a gloomy expression, but he still gave the order from the headquarters and launched an attack on the girl floating in the air.

"I didn't expect that she would be a Herrscher..."

The captain muttered to himself. After the battle situation stabilized, he breathed a sigh of relief. Since the opponent was a Herrscher, no matter how badly he was beaten, he would not be held accountable by the headquarters.

However, thinking of the situation when the girl broke into the warship before, he still couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

"It seems that she didn't take the previous battle seriously at all... Otherwise, how could there be zero casualties? Can my warships really compete with such an opponent?"

Next to him, the Valkyrie, who was his adjutant, looked at the timid man with a hint of contempt in her eyes. As a Valkyrie, she had fought on the battlefield countless times, so she naturally looked down on such a timid commander.

She lowered her head and looked at the bandaged wound on her abdomen, feeling a little sad.

(I never thought... I could actually save my life from the hands of the Herrscher. Come to think of it, would the Herrscher show mercy to humans?)

As she thought about it, she frowned slightly, looking at the battle situation displayed on the image in front of her, and she also felt a sense of oppression. The bombardment of her own warships was all blocked by the enemy without exception. However, the girl surrounded by the lightning wings still did not move.

(It seems that normal attacks have no effect on her at all, so I can only use the main gun...)

The Valkyrie thought silently. She glanced at the depressed man next to her, sighed, and then turned on the battleship's energy equipment system to check the main gun's energy storage progress.

(The main gun should be useful, otherwise she would not have been able to do so at the beginning.

I will choose to avoid it, then...)

Despite her worries, the woman had no other choice but to place her hopes on the battleship's main gun.

·————————————·

In the sky, several beams of light shot out from the sides of the battleship and flew straight towards a purple thundercloud ahead.

But the next moment, the beam was completely dispersed by the thick electric arc that suddenly flashed out! The energy that lost its target escaped into the air and disappeared as light particles.

Lan Feng stretched out her hand, and violent purple lightning covered her arms, radiating around with the sound of thunder.

Suddenly, she waved her hand again, and the Houkai current wrapped around her arm extended forward, forming a long whip made of purple lightning, which directly destroyed several missiles flying towards her from a distance!

Lan Feng just remained in a static suspended state, facing the attack of the warship. It was not that she did not want to fight while moving, but because she was not familiar with the energy manipulation of the anti-gravity device, she could not freely control the collapse energy to move in the air. In other words, she did not have the ability to fly at present, and the only thing she could do was to float like this.

Suddenly noticing something, Lan Feng lowered his head and looked at the mecha troops below who were engaged in a tough battle, his brows slightly frowned.

"I underestimated those Valkyries. Relatively speaking, the A-level Valkyries are indeed quite powerful, and the number of those B-level Valkyries should not be underestimated... As expected, I can't keep slacking off..."

Seeing the frozen earth armor being besieged by the nameless powerful Valkyrie, Lan Feng sighed. She originally thought that as long as she could contain this difficult warship, Tesla and his men could break out of the encirclement. But now it seems that things are far from that simple. The mecha troops on their side have been in a tough battle. If they are left alone, it is only a matter of time before they are defeated one by one.

"It would be great if our battleships were still there... I have no choice but to take action."

Although she didn't want to attack these Valkyries, she had no choice now. Thinking of this, Lan Feng's eyes focused on the huge battleship in front of him.

Lan Feng exhaled, and the six Honkai crystal wings surrounded by purple lightning behind him suddenly lit up, and his pupils, dyed purple by Honkai energy, slightly expanded...

In fact, Lan Feng could destroy this large battleship at any time. This was also true. Five of these old-style airships, which were standard for the branch, might not be able to match the Hyperion of the Far East branch.

For Lan Feng, destroying this battleship independently was naturally a piece of cake.

"Then let's start with you."

She murmured, controlling the Honkai energy particle flow and locking onto the target in front of her...

118 The End of the War

In the sky, as Lan Feng extracted the Honkai energy from his body again and charged it into the Honkai energy crystal behind him, the purple light began to slowly condense, and the arcs on the purple crystal began to disappear, replaced by a wave flow, which was the Honkai energy particle flow that imitated the gamma ray energy...

At this moment, inside the battleship of Destiny, the man in the bridge was suddenly startled when he saw the light emanating from the girl's crystal wings. He hurriedly turned on the communicator and connected to the ship's channel.

"How long will it take for the main gun to charge?"

"15 seconds left! Captain..."

Hearing the equally anxious voice of the communicator, the captain bit his lip, his eyes full of anxiety.

"Damn it...! It's too late! The Third Herrscher is about to attack. Our cannons must fire in advance!"
