K424 of the Collapse World

Returned to the empty wasteland.

This is only natural. The ruins are here and they won't run away, but the anti-entropy troops are still on the run. Since there are more urgent things to do right now, it's normal to put the ruins aside for the time being.

Although all the Valkyries had left and camped somewhere closer to the location where the battle took place, the huge wreckage of the warship they left behind still showed how terrible the battle had been.

However, at this moment, this relic that seemed to have been forgotten by everyone was no longer as silent as before...

·————————————·

Inside the ruins, through the narrow metal corridor, is the ruins space where Lan Feng and Kiana had fought before. But now, no one knows that after the personnel of Destiny and Anti-Entropy evacuated from here, there is still a woman who was left here, and a certain existence that has just awakened...

"...Um, I've basically told you about this world, but, what exactly do you want to do...?"

The voice that spoke was a woman's. It was Yuli, the Anti-Entropy member who had stayed here before.

Due to the chaos caused by the previous breakout, no one knew that this member, who was once thought to be dead by everyone, was still left in the deepest part of the ruins.

At this moment, she looked at the figure sitting on the square box in front of her, and the astonishment in her eyes did not dissipate. She had never thought that she would have a direct conversation with a pre-civilization being in this way.

However, the being in front of Yuli did not directly answer her question. After asking her about the information of this generation, he fell into deep thought.

"I see. A human civilization has come to an end. How ironic..."

The figure sitting on the biological support device with legs crossed was a naked woman with long black hair, but what was somewhat concerning was that there was a hint of blue mixed in her black hair. At this moment, she was mumbling to herself with a faint smile on her face.

“Hmph… You tried your best to protect that world, even at the cost of killing me, but it was still destroyed by the Honkai. I really want to ask you, what was your mood at that time? Hehehe…”

While laughing softly, she pressed her hand on the other life support capsule next to hers, exerting a little force. The bone-chilling cold attached to its surface could not affect her at all.

Looking at the string of characters on the surface of the square box, even though the characters were dim and almost unrecognizable, she could still recognize what was written on it.

"Kevin... I never thought you would put me next to you. It seems that you are still alive. Judging from the remaining energy, you left here a long time ago. It's really exciting. If you are still alive, what will it be like when I meet you again, my captain...?"

"Come to think of it, the voice in my head has disappeared, and its energy has also weakened. Does that mean I have lost my core?"

As she talked to herself, the smile in her eyes became more and more intense. At this point, she came back to her senses from her own world, raised her head and looked at Yuli who was waiting quietly. In Yuli's eyes, her scarlet pupils flashed slightly, and then instantly changed to a pure sea blue.

"I'm sorry. I was so focused on my own things that I forgot to introduce myself..."

Looking directly at Yuli in front of her, she stood up, not caring that she was naked, and walked towards Yuli.

"My name is Xier Fuleai. Just as you think, from your perspective, I should be considered a remnant of the previous civilization."

As she spoke, she slowly extended her hand towards Yuli with a kind smile.

"really......"

Hearing the woman's words, Yuli's eyes widened slightly, but her expression did not show much emotion. After all, this was already confirmed, and there was nothing to be surprised about. However, she had to admit that she still felt like she was dreaming.

Gently holding the woman's outstretched hand, feeling the slightly cool softness in her hand, Yuli suddenly became a little dazed.

This behavior... She should be expressing goodwill to me, right? People of two generations apart can communicate with each other. I actually encountered this kind of thing...

At this time, the woman in front of her spoke again.

"So... according to what you said, you are a member of a certain organization that fights against Honkai, and you accidentally discovered this place while competing with the enemy organization?"

"Yes, it is!"

Yuli replied hurriedly, her tongue a little tied with excitement, but she still maintained basic calm.

"Ah... It's like this again, exactly the same as it was then... It seems that before the threat of Honkai increases, the struggle between humans is inevitable..."

The woman sighed, and saw that although Yuli's eyes were excited, she still looked calm. The woman who called herself Hill smiled slightly, and a hint of evil appeared in her eyes.

A playful smile.

"Oh, by the way, there's one thing I forgot to tell you about my identity..."

"My true identity is actually the Sixth Ruler of the previous civilization. I can probably be considered an enemy of you humans. Okay, guess what I'm going to do next?"

Still wearing the same gentle smile as before, she said these words. The next moment, the air around them seemed to stagnate with these words, and the feeling of coldness became even stronger...

"Ah...?"

(She said she was... a Herrscher?)

At this moment, Yuli was slightly stunned, but after quickly reacting, her face turned pale, her mind was fuzzy, and she had no idea what to do.

The terrifying feeling of oppression that permeated the surroundings should be the energy field generated by Honkai energy. Is she really... ?

Standing in front of him was a Herrscher of the Broken Order? What exactly this meant seemed to be quite clear.

The Second Herrscher had almost destroyed all of Siberia, so with the current level of civilization in this world, could the existence of the Sixth Herrscher really be resisted? Putting that aside, what would happen to me now?

"Haha... don't be nervous, it's just a joke, I won't do anything to you."

Noticing Yuli's dazed expression, she smiled and waved her hand. The stagnant atmosphere around them eased and returned to its previous quietness.

"But this... Hill, who are you?"

The huge gap made Yuli a little unbelievable. But there was no doubt that Hill in front of her did not show any hostility towards her.

So, she released such powerful energy just now just as a joke?

Yuli found that she couldn't understand this remnant of the former civilization. Maybe he wasn't as mature and steady as she saw?

"Alas... I am indeed the Sixth Herrscher, but that was only in the past. Now I have long lost my Herrscher core and stigmata... I am just a special human being."

Ignoring Yuli's puzzled look, she looked around and noticed the forcibly destroyed metal door in the distance, a smile in her eyes.

"Is the power of civilization in this world strong enough to forcibly destroy this V-25 particle metal? If so, then logically speaking, the collapse of this era has begun to produce Herrschers."

She turned around and stroked the life support capsule in front of her with her hand. Her eyes gradually became dazed and she murmured in a low voice.

"Speaking of which, now that I no longer obey Honkai, what should I do next... But, Kevin... you killed me once, you can't let it go so easily!"

She looked at the square device next to her, her eyes slightly focused. The next moment! A purple light appeared from her hand and flashed by in an instant.

With a slight sound, another solid square box made of unknown material was neatly split into two after a flash of light.

135 Herr Speaker >>

Yuli's pupils couldn't help but dilate slightly. In her vision, a dark purple sickle appeared in the woman's hand at some point. After completing the attack, it began to turn into light particles and disappeared...

(This fighting style is so familiar! It seems... very similar to Shirley's ability?! Is there any connection between them...?)

Suddenly, Yuli wanted to know who was stronger, this mysterious remnant of the former civilization or that Silis...

This thought only flashed through her mind and did not last long. At this moment, looking at the woman who was lost in thought again after destroying the square box, Yuli's eyes narrowed slightly. She could feel that this woman did not have any hostility towards her. Moreover, the other party should have no reason to deceive her. What she said just now was very likely true...

Indeed, according to the records in the data, the second Herrscher of this civilization was transformed from a human. If what she said is true, that is to say, a Herrscher transformed from a human can be restored to a human again?

(Wait, this isn’t something I should be thinking about, right? Oh, she seems a little lost? Right, anyone would feel lost if they were to appear in a strange world alone, right? So…)

Suddenly realizing that her thoughts had strayed from the topic, Yuli shook her head slightly and turned her gaze to the woman with her back to her again.

"Um... Miss Hill, if you don't know what to do next, maybe I can help you..."

Yuli said with a stiff upper lip. Although she had no idea what she should do with the current situation, the only way she could think of was to hand it over to her superiors.

(Mr. Tesla, Ms. Hillis, why aren't you here now...)

Hearing this, Hill blinked his eyes and for the first time looked at Yuli in front of him with a serious expression. As her expression changed, the atmosphere around them changed again...

Yuli endured the other party's oppressive scrutiny and waited for a response. Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, suddenly, Hill's voice

It broke the tranquility of the scene.

"...Interesting. After knowing my identity, you still want to help me? This is a bit suspicious. I'm sorry, I have my own plans next, so I can't go with you..."

She casually rejected Yuli's invitation with an intriguing smile on her face, and just stared at the woman who looked like an agent in front of her.

"Also, it's wrong to have some small thoughts when you want to help others~"

As she spoke, she turned around and pressed a button on a nearby instrument with ease. A round metal cabinet opened, and she reached in, took out a simple blue-black garment and put it on herself.

"Anyway, I'll be leaving soon. Please do as you please, Miss Yuli. Well... this is a small research institute after all, there should be something that interests you. We'll see you again if we're lucky."

"...Well, please take care."

Yuli had no choice but to respond and remained silent. It wasn't that she didn't want to say anything to persuade him to stay, but because the other party's attitude was already quite clear. Her sixth sense told her that if she continued to pester him, she would probably be torn apart by her giant scythe.

Just like that, she watched the woman with long black hair walk towards the wall on one side, open a hidden door directly on the wall, and walk in. The footsteps gradually faded away.

"Alas... now, what should I do..."

As the woman left, the invisible sense of oppression disappeared. Yuli sighed, looking a little tired.

"Forget it, there's no point staying here. Let's follow the direction of the main force. I hope the communicator can still be used..."

In a wasteland a few kilometers away from the entrance to the ruins, a crack suddenly appeared in the rock layer of the ground. Along with the exploding rubble, a figure surrounded by purple energy appeared in the same place.

The next moment, the purple light dissipated, and a former civilization woman who called herself Hill stood in this place, looking around with interest.

She looked up at the bright moon in the sky and couldn't help muttering to herself.

"The moon... it's such a nostalgic thing. Well, what should we do next..."

She closed her eyes, and some kind of fluctuation spread rapidly from her surroundings. It was a kind of low-frequency energy that caused some kind of resonance, and it seemed to be released in search of something...

"I can't find the Herrscher Core... Never mind, that kind of thing doesn't matter. The most important thing now is my stigmata..."

While talking to herself, she cast her gaze towards the east, feeling the slight feedback of the fluctuations, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised...

"Although it's a bit far, I still found it successfully... my other half. Hehehe... wait for me, I will come to greet you soon."

·————————————·

At this moment, in an orphanage near Okhotsk in the Russian Far East...

"……Eh?!"

Suddenly, a petite black-haired girl's eyes moved, and she looked around with some confusion, with a look of surprise and doubt in her eyes.

"Xi'er, what's wrong with you?"

The other girl beside her asked worriedly. She looked at Xier who suddenly stood up, somewhat confused.

"Huh...? No, it's nothing... maybe it's an illusion."

Xier was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and sat down again.

"Is that so? If there is anything, you must tell me. Don't worry, Xing won't dare to do anything to you with us here."

"Yeah, it's okay, Remina... Ever since Sister Cialis disappeared, Xingmaer hasn't bothered me. Okay, where were we just now?"

Xier smiled and shook her head, then secretly changed the subject. However, the sudden strange feeling just now lingered in her heart.

(What on earth is that?)

Although Xier didn't know what that was, in another unknown place, inside the holy mark space on Xier's body, a girl with short black hair and red eyes was sitting silently in a white space.

In fact, at this moment, her eyes were slightly fluctuating, full of surprise and disbelief...

(This kind of detection fluctuation... How is it possible? Why is it like this?! How... is it possible that you are still alive!)

In a small town somewhere in the wilderness of southern Türkiye...

In a simple house, the red-haired girl lying on the bed yawned and opened her eyes sleepily.

"Ah~~ Hmm...? Is it morning already..."

She talked to herself as she stood up with some weakness. The moment she woke up, she instantly recalled what happened last night.

Looking around, I didn't see the girl.

"...Shiris, I'm afraid she has already met Sieg

Maybe I can stay with Fei, or... Never mind, this has nothing to do with me. After all, it was my own choice..."

Tesla sighed, sat on the bed, and curled up his body.

"Then she must be leaving with Siegfried, right? Then what's next..."

"Although I don't care about your previous misunderstanding, I have to say something about this..."

Suddenly, a childish voice from outside the door interrupted Tesla's soliloquy. She turned around in astonishment and saw the helpless silver-haired girl pushing open the door and walking in.

"First of all, I didn't do that kind of thing with Siegfried."

"Siris?! Why...why?"

(Why did she come back to say goodbye to me...? No, what does it mean that she didn't do that? Could it be that...)

Tesla stared blankly at the girl walking towards him, and for a moment he lost the ability to think...
