K424 of the Collapse World

Hearing this, Ji Zi held the big sword in her hand and her expression became slightly solemn.

"Well, he never took the initiative to attack. When we attacked him just now, he just defended himself without fighting back! It's as if... he has lost the desire to fight."

Theresa nodded and looked at the person standing motionless on the sea below.

"However, we cannot rule out the possibility that she is stalling for time and waiting for something! But...what if there is really something hidden? Anyway, let's try to negotiate with her."

“Eh? Theresa, didn’t the headquarters forbid us from negotiating with the Third Herrscher? The order required immediate capture. Moreover, we have already engaged in direct combat with her. Can she really negotiate with us calmly…?”

"It's okay, Jizi. Although I will obey the orders of the headquarters, I will not do it according to the methods they specify. How to complete the order is my freedom."

As she spoke, Theresa thought for a moment, then gently loosened the chain in her hand and placed the cross flat on the deck.

·————————————·

"The Third Herrscher! Can you hear me?"

Suddenly hearing a childish voice coming from above, Lan Feng subconsciously raised his head slightly, and through the gaps in her hair, he saw the silver-haired girl standing on the edge of the deck.

The sea water wet her hair, and her bangs fell wetly on her forehead, covering her eyes. Therefore, the purple cross pupils were not discovered by Hyperion's image.

"We are the Valkyries of the Far East Branch of the Destiny Organization. If you don't want to fight, we can accept your surrender."

Theresa shouted loudly, her voice connected to Hyperion's loudspeaker through the terminal and echoed over the sea.

Hearing this, Lan Feng was slightly stunned, then he smiled bitterly and sighed.

"Surrender... huh? Well, if I say I hope you can spare my life this time, can you accept that?"

With the help of lip detection on the video, Hyperion's intelligence system restored Lan Feng's language. After getting her response, Theresa showed some helplessness on her face.

"Unfortunately, that's impossible. However, if you really don't want to fight, you can surrender to us. I promise you that you won't be treated unfairly."

"Well... I'm sorry, too, Theresa. Although I want to believe you, I still have things I have to do."

Lan Feng spoke softly, and although his tone was indifferent, his words were full of determination.

Hearing Lan Feng's answer, Theresa's eyes widened slightly.

(Negotiation failed... Wait! Why does she know my name...? Could it be that she is really someone I used to know?!)

Theresa was still thinking in surprise. However, the adjutant currently in charge of Hyperion's command immediately issued an attack order after realizing that the negotiations had broken down. At this point, the machine guns under Hyperion began to charge again.

Lan Feng looked at the warships that were about to attack, shook his head slightly, raised one hand slightly, and planned to activate the terminal and take out his lance. After all, his ability was too dangerous. If he just used the uncharged giant lance to hit randomly, it shouldn't kill Theresa...

Of course, the premise is to win.

Lan Feng was thinking about tactics secretly, but the next moment, a huge black fog rose above the sea without any warning! It directly included the large area of ​​sea where Lan Feng was, and the area was so large that it almost reached the scale of the previous water fog!

Lan Feng looked at the black fog surrounding her with confusion in her eyes. She couldn't figure out what that guy was trying to do.

The next moment, a slightly warm body gently pressed against her back.

"You are showing off, Shirley... You have been in a tough fight until now, right?"

Hearing this gentle yet helpless voice of reproach, Lan Feng hurriedly shook his head.

"No! Hill, I just..."

"No need to say more. I can see that after such a series of battles, your body's energy consumption is a bit exhausted, right? Moreover, you seem to know those attackers, so it seems that it is a bit difficult to deal with them?"

Hill's voice came again, and as the black mist passed by slightly, the two crystals were sent into Lan Feng's hands.

Lan Feng looked down at his hands. In his hands were Xier's hair crystals and that

Dark blue beacon crystal...

"I really can't understand you anymore... Anyway, take the kid's quantum beacon and leave quickly. Let me take over the battle here."

"What...? You're the one fighting?"

Lan Feng was stunned for a moment, looking at the black fog before her eyes in disbelief. She had never expected that the girl would make such a suggestion.

"That's right. I'll help you hold these guys back. You can take this opportunity to leave the battlefield and return to your territory. Use the quantum beacon to rescue the child and my partner! I'll leave them to you, Shiris."

Hill's gentle voice floated out from the black fog. Although gentle, it carried a determination that would not back down...

220 Breakaway

"This is......?!"

Standing on the deck of Hyperion, Theresa looked at the heavy black fog permeating below the warship and frowned.

Inside the bridge, after the staff detected the formation of the black fog, they hurriedly controlled the Hyperion to climb upwards to escape the coverage of the black fog.

"Lady Theresa! A high concentration of Honkai energy has been detected in the black mist. Please do not approach rashly..."

"I know!"

Theresa shouted a little out of control. In Ji Zi's slightly surprised look, she bit her lips and her eyes fluctuated slightly.

"Of course I know... because I have seen it countless times. This black mist formed by Honkai energy... isn't it Cecilia's Black Abyss White Flower ability! But, the Third Herrscher... if she is the Herrscher of Thunder, why does she have such an ability?!"

If the appearance of the Third Herrscher just now only reminded her of the Second Herrscher, then combined with what she had just seen, this black fog instantly reminded her of the silver-haired woman holding a lance...

Along with this memory comes the heart-wrenching past. The death of a loved one is not so easy to face calmly.

Of course, if it was just this incident, Theresa would not have lost her composure. However, when she found that the purple-haired girl not only gave her a sense of familiarity, but also knew her name and even had similar abilities to that person, Theresa was shocked to realize that the commonality between her closest relative and her blood enemy seemed to appear in one person...

"The Third Herrscher...! What on earth are you?!"

·————————————·

"Asking you to stay and fight? Absolutely not!!"

Lan Feng rejected Hill's proposal without hesitation, and his expression instantly became excited.

"What are you thinking about? How can I leave you alone? Besides, the Far East Branch is too powerful for you to stop! Instead of doing this, why don't you give the crystal to Tesla and the others, and I will continue to stop these troops!"

As he spoke, Lan Feng stretched out his hands, trying to hand the crystal back to Hill. However, the black mist did not condense into a solid entity at all, and directly rejected Lan Feng's proposal with its actions.

"No~! I don't know the 'Tesla' you're talking about. Am I going to tell your friends that I left you alone to fight against Destiny and then ran away?"

Hill said, a hint of mockery in his voice.

"Besides, are you looking down on me? Haha... I admit that I am no match for you, Shirley. But don't think of me as too weak. Even if I don't have the Herrscher Core, I am a Herrscher in a semi-energy state, so I won't be caught so easily!"

Hill continued to speak, however, the black fog covering a large area of ​​the sea began to fluctuate slightly, and it seemed that there were signs that it was about to dissipate...

Lan Feng gritted his teeth, looked at the huge warship looming through the black fog, his eyes slightly condensed.

"In that case, why don't we attack together? You help me hold back any one of the Valkyries, and I'll destroy Hyperion's power system! Make them lose their ability to pursue!"

"Fighting side by side...? It sounds good, but we may not have that much time, Shirley..."

"why?"

"You will know if you spread your perception... However, you were too focused during the battle."

Hill said, sighing softly. Lan Feng followed her instructions to spread the perception of collapse, and suddenly his eyes widened in astonishment!

At some point, a large number of high-energy reactions appeared in all directions, slowly approaching this side. Judging from the similar energy fluctuations, each of these energy reactions was a large floating battleship!

"how come......"

"Do you understand? Time is running out. If we wait until those guys arrive, we will definitely be defeated by them unless you can become a perfect Herrscher and kill them all. If that happens, who will save that child and my friends?"

As Hill spoke again, the rolling black mist shrank slightly again, as if it was collapsing.

The energy supply can no longer support such a large coverage area.

"But, I clearly agreed to take you back with me just now... Are you going to let me break the promise so soon?"

Lan Feng said with dissatisfaction, anxiously thinking about how to deal with it. The people around him were his friends, and the people standing on the opposite side were the ones he once loved. No matter what, Lan Feng didn't want these people who were important to him to hurt each other...

Moreover, because I am a coward who cannot make the decision to break up with you, am I now going to abandon the person with whom I was just honest and honest and with whom I had just become friends?

At this moment, Lan Feng felt for the first time that he was still so insignificant. Even though he possessed power comparable to that of a Herrscher, he still could not do anything and could only waste his time in vain in the dilemma of making a choice.

At this moment, her confidence and arrogance in her own strength suddenly disappeared, leaving only a faint feeling of powerlessness...

"Don't hesitate any longer, Shirley! If you wait any longer, the other party will realize that there are two of us here, and then it won't be so easy to escape!"

Hill's voice came again, and this time, there was a little more anxiety in that gentle voice. She could also sense the approach of those troops, and seeing Lan Feng still hesitating, she couldn't help but feel annoyed...

“Okay, Shirley! Instead of worrying about me, you should think about what you should do! Even if I attract the attention, it won’t be easy for you to escape from the encirclement without being discovered!”

A little black mist gathered and condensed into a black arm, which directly pressed the hesitant Lan Feng into the sea.

"Have you forgotten my ability? In the fog state, they can do nothing to me. For me, it's easy to escape if I delay enough time!"

After hearing Xi'er's persuasion again, Lan Feng realized that delaying like this would only harm Xi'er, so he made up his mind, forced himself not to think anymore, and then turned off the switch of the limiter on his wrist...

"Are you really... gonna be okay?"

Half of her body was already in the water, and Lan Feng turned around and asked softly, as if seeking self-comfort. After hearing this, Xier just smiled and comforted her as she wished.

"Let's go! Do you think I'm going to die now? As long as I wait for you, a burden, to escape successfully, I can escape from here at any time!"

At this time, under the cover of the huge amount of Honkai energy black fog, Hyperion's detector did not detect that Lan Feng's Honkai energy reaction had disappeared from the radar...

Seeing the purple-haired girl finally leave with no choice, Hill breathed a sigh of relief. On the sea surface surrounded by black fog, the figure of the black-haired girl slowly emerged.

"......It's incredible. When did I become so great? Well~ I can't really say I'm great, but I just think of it as doing it for my friend..."

She muttered to herself, looking through the black fog at the large warships in the sky, and the fleets behind her that were becoming increasingly visible to the naked eye, and couldn't help but smile helplessly. However, even so, there was no sign of nervousness on her face.

220 Breakaway>>

Indeed, to her, these fleets right before her eyes were not a big deal.

"This is really a thankless job... Never mind, I'll just do my best. Anyway... now all I have to do is attract these guys' attention, right? As for what happens next... Hehe, I don't plan to end it here!"

The body that had just materialized turned into black mist again, mixed with the withering energy formed by the Honkai energy. As she said, the only attack that could hurt her in the mist state among the enemies in front of her was probably the little girl holding the cross...

·————————————·

In the shallow sea, Lan Feng used the weak Honkai energy that could be released under the limiter, and used the force field to propel his body forward slowly, and began to leave this sea area.

I don't know why, but I seemed to hear a sigh in my ear just now. Was it an illusion? There was no one around...

Looking back at the black fog covering the sea, Lan Feng calmed down and slowly moved towards the general direction of the far east...

(Even though nothing in the world goes smoothly, this is... just too much, isn't it? I just became friends with her, and now I'm using her to cover my retreat? I'm such a bad guy...)

Although Lan Feng wanted to remove the limiter again and then turn around and go back to fight with Xier, his reason told him that this seemingly cool behavior would only waste the person's awareness. Moreover, Lan Feng did not want Xier to bear the cost of this behavior because of his impulse.

As a crystal of quantum space beacon, Lan Feng didn't know how strong it was, nor whether it could be stored in quantum space like other things. However, she didn't dare to try, because she didn't have a second chance. If something went wrong with this crystal, Xi'er might never come back.

Here it comes...

However, letting Hill and Saint Freya's Valkyries fight was something that made her feel extremely painful...

No matter who hurt whom, it was not what Lan Feng wanted to see. Regardless of the difference in strength between the two sides, Theresa's side was now her enemy, so there was no way to negotiate. But Lan Feng could not ask Hill to show mercy to the Valkyries. Facing this friend who resolutely sacrificed himself to cover her retreat, she could not say such words to ask her to show mercy to the enemy.

(There should be other ways...! Damn it, my mind is a mess and I can't think of anything!)

Therefore, all I can do now is to complete the tasks they have entrusted to me...

As the distance at which Hill's Honkai energy could react became increasingly farther and farther, Lan Feng clenched his teeth and could not help but close his eyes.

As his mind went blank, he knew there was nothing he could do at this point. Lan Feng could only pin his hopes on Hill herself, hoping that the girl could find a way to escape danger on her own.

(Please... Hill, you have to survive no matter what... If something happens to you, how will I face that lady with the stigmata?)

What the girl didn't know was that her prayers, along with her pure thoughts, traveled thousands of miles away, like a pebble thrown into the water, floating away in the ripples...

At this moment, at the headquarters of Changkong City Me Society...

The blue-haired girl who was sitting at the desk and reading the information on the terminal looked up at the girl with twin ponytails who rushed into the room in a hurry, with confusion in her eyes.

"...?"

"Hey! Aiyin, the aircraft that Shilis drove away has stopped responding! I'm afraid it has been damaged..."

Tesla spoke a little panicked, but Einstein saw her panic and just curled his lips and shook his head.

"Hmm...? Isn't this normal? As you know, she is not good at controlling the take-off and landing of aircraft. It is very common for her to damage the vehicle due to operating errors."

"But this time it's different! The last location where the electronic response of the aircraft was captured was on the sea, which is still a long way from the Far East. I'm worried that it might be..."

Seeing Tesla's anxious look, Einstein sighed, and then he also retrieved the action information recorded on the intelligence network from his terminal and searched for Shirley's name.

"Look, there's nothing wrong with her terminal. It's in the sea nearby and is still moving. Obviously, there's nothing wrong with it. In my opinion, she broke down her vehicle again and has to resort to other means of movement..."

Einstein said calmly, pulling the information box down. Soon, her eyes widened slightly.

"The last quantized item extracted was her weapon? So..."
