K424 of the Collapse World

What was happening before her eyes was beyond her comprehension. Shilis stared blankly at the small Honkai beast that was supposed to be the enemy. It was not until it approached the ground and fell into the wild flowers on the plain that the girl suddenly woke up. She looked at the Honkai beast floating in front of her with a complicated expression and slowly stood up.

"Huh... I see. Are you judging my identity based on the characteristics of Honkai energy? But this is really ironic. I am fighting against Honkai for the sake of human civilization, but I am persecuted by humans and saved by Honkai..."

Shiris looked at the docile Honkai beast in front of her with a bitter expression. Feeling its undisguised closeness to her, she smiled bitterly and sighed again, slowly raised her hand, and gently stroked the smooth head of the Honkai beast.

"But, I'm sorry... I'm no longer your queen. Even if you obey me now, once I leave, you will be out of control again and become a killing tool of Honkai. So..."

At this point, the girl raised her palm slightly and touched the core in the center of the Honkai Beast's body. The small Honkai Beast's body moved slightly in response to the girl's action, but still did not resist at all, allowing the girl's hand to hold its "heart".

Shiris bit her lip. As long as she moved her mind, she could absorb the Honkai energy in the core, and the Honkai beast without Honkai energy would be reduced to ashes. The girl could feel that no matter what she did, the Honkai beast would not resist. Then, destroying it directly would not only eliminate the Honkai, but also absorb its Honkai energy, killing two birds with one stone...

However, after a brief silence, the silver-haired girl still did not act on this idea. She looked at the slightly cracked wing shell on the back of the Honkai Beast, which was caused by its overuse in order to save her.

To save myself...

"Ugh......"

After a long time, Shilis slowly put down her hand and shook her head gently.

"As expected... Let's just forget it. Even if it's a Honkai beast,

You saved my life just now. It's a matter of principle... I can't bring myself to do it after you saved my life. Just this once, I'll let you go..."

Shiris let out a light breath, turned her head to look at the distance of the plain, then looked at the Honkai beast beside her again, and frowned slightly.

(Then, follow my orders, um... head to the North Pole and enter hibernation forever. Also, do not attack any creatures along the way. That's all.)

Instinctively giving the Honkai Beast an order, Silis watched the Honkai Beast obey the order and fly away, cutting off the mental connection with the Honkai Beast. Seeing that its actions did not stop, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

By doing this, he not only let go of the Honkai beast that saved him, but also conducted a small experiment.

(It seems that even now, I still retain a certain degree of Herrscher power...)

The girl thought silently, spreading her perception, trying to find the reaction of the Honkai Beast nearby. Thinking back to her decision just now, the girl's expression suddenly became a little strange.

(By the way... is my brain broken again? I actually showed mercy to a Honkai creature...)

"Alas... I have already decided to give up Sirin's memory, but I am still using Honkai Beast like a Herrscher... It really feels weird. I should try to use this ability as little as possible. If I encounter Honkai Beast again, it is better to kill it directly..."

The girl raised her head slightly and looked at the empty blue sky above. Her eyes gradually became solemn. The headquarters of the destiny should have some ability to hide its appearance, which cannot be observed from the ground. However, the girl knew very well that the enemy's base camp was right above her head...

"However, there are exceptions in emergency situations... like now. In order to escape from the pursuit of destiny, we should grasp everything we can use at present!"

(Otto won't let me go so easily. My own strength is obviously not enough to escape. Even if I feel uncomfortable, I can only use those Honkai creatures. Anyway... leave this plain first! There is no shelter in this place. When the pursuers come, my whereabouts will be exposed in an instant.)

After a short rest, the girl dragged her weak body and ran towards a dense forest in the distance. She knew very well that even if she escaped from the headquarters of the destiny, it did not mean that she could relax at this moment.

If Otto is determined to capture me, then I will have to face the true elite of Destiny...

(Sorry, Lan Feng... I don't want to be caught and used as a guinea pig again. Besides, if I can drive Honkai without receiving Xilin's memory, then this should be considered my own power, right?)

·————————————·

On the detection screen of the Schicksal Headquarters, Otto looked at the silver-haired girl who was gradually running out of the detector range with a smile on his face. He immediately stood up and looked at the Valkyries who were standing in front of him with their heads lowered.

"Ha... K424 actually escaped from the headquarters. So, what do you have to say?"

"..."

"Is it shameful to be fooled around by a weak experiment? Are you unwilling to accept this? In that case, then go and capture her. You are all excellent Valkyries at the headquarters. It shouldn't be a problem to capture a mere experiment, right?"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the Valkyries immediately took action. Otto looked at the action report sent by Claudia, and his eyes gradually became deep.

"That Director Changguang really loves to cause trouble... Oh, forget it. Be a little more tolerant towards the elderly. However, I really didn't expect that K424 could escape from the Tianming headquarters. Although there was a lot of luck involved, luck is also a part of strength. K424... your existence is indeed a miracle!"

Otto muttered to himself, but the next moment, he suddenly changed the subject and the smile on his face gradually turned cold.

"So, we can't let you go so easily. You have the power of a Herrscher without a core, and you also have the memory of five hundred years ago. Besides, if you don't have any other cards, then it's time to dig out all the secrets of you, subject k424..."

At this time, outside the gate of Qianyu College, far away in the Far East, a middle-aged man in a suit stood at the entrance of the college, staring at a teaching building on campus, with a few streaks of light flashing across his glasses.

As if he had confirmed something, he turned around and left the school gate under the guard's vigilant gaze, turned into a small alley nearby, and raised his hand to press his earphone.

"We have found the host of the Conqueror Gem, but her energy is close to running wild. Such delicate adaptability may not be suitable as a carrier for the Herrscher's advent. So... should we follow the original plan and carry out the next action?"

"..."

"Yes, as you wish, I will find

"We will have a chance to implement the original plan. As long as the energy of the gems completely runs wild, under the influence of large-scale collapse, there will always be qualified people who appear..."

The man turned off the communicator, took out the terminal, looked at the photo of the black-haired girl and the silver-haired girl walking side by side on the screen, and frowned slightly.

"The black-haired girl is definitely the current host of the Conquest Gem, but... why does this silver-haired girl look like the daughter of Cocolia-sama?"

254 Subtle Changes

Europe, Southern Austrian Forest...

The young Valkyrie walked slowly in the dense jungle, checking the detector image on the photon eyepiece and being alert to the environment around her.

(The hunt for K424 has been going on for the tenth day. Ever since he escaped the last roundup and hid in the forest, the search has become increasingly troublesome...)

Also, aren’t there a bit too many Honkai beasts encountered nearby?

Listening carefully to the movements around her and filtering out the rustling sound of her feet in the grass, the Valkyrie sensed her surroundings while tightly grasping the Water Fairy Type II in her hand, her eyes quickly scanning the dense jungle.

Otto never sent out more reinforcements, and only let three A-level Valkyries lead the team to track. However, after those battles, Alan was also very clear about the current strength of the experimental subject K424. It was completely enough to suppress it with just a regular Valkyrie team.

She just kept moving forward slowly. In fact, Alan was already out of the communication range of the team, so she could not receive the assistance of the team's radar.

But this was nothing to her, and she was more used to relying on her own eyes to search for the enemy than the search goggles in front of her. After all, in her previous combat training, the instructor had clearly said that she should not rely too much on equipment...

With this in mind, Alan continued to search forward. As an elite Valkyrie who had experienced hundreds of missions, she dared to hunt down the enemy alone without her companions...

(If I can complete the mission alone, I will be qualified to be promoted to A-class Valkyrie... It's just a B-class experimental subject, there is no problem at all!)

——Ding ding!

Suddenly, a red warning sign appeared on the eyepiece in front of her, which meant that a reaction of Honkai energy was detected nearby. In response, Alan suddenly raised her spirits, and the energy gun in her hand also entered critical mode in an instant! Under the freezing effect of Water Fairy II, she could shoot and freeze the target the moment her eyes caught it.

Of course, you must be able to lock onto the target and shoot it. To do this, it is most important to prepare for the battle in advance.

Alan was on guard with his gun in hand. Although the life forms detected in the forest might not be his target, the only other Honkai energy carriers wandering around in this uninhabited area, apart from K424, were probably the wandering assassins...

The warning sign on the screen was still there, but dozens of seconds had passed and there was still no movement around. The Valkyrie couldn't help but feel a little confused, but she also determined that the target was around her.

If he was a death warrior, he would have followed his instinct and attacked me by now.

(You actually chose to hide your whereabouts. This is unlike your previous behavior, K424... Could it be that you are too seriously injured to face the enemy head-on? In that case, I will slowly find you out! Anyway, the area sensed by the detector is only a hundred meters. You can't hide in a place like this!)

As she pondered, Alan's eyes revealed a hint of coldness. She held the gun in her hand and slowly walked towards a bush in front of her. Her intuition told her that there must be something lurking behind the giant tree in front of her...

———whoosh!

Alan was approaching slowly. Suddenly, a white shadow suddenly flashed out from behind the tree and attacked her like lightning. In response, the Valkyrie, who had been prepared, immediately pulled the trigger of the gun, and the low-temperature energy flow bursting out from the muzzle directly engulfed the enemy! And threw it away fiercely...

After defeating the enemy with one strike, Alan hurried forward with his gun to check. Seeing the white creature frozen by frost, he was slightly stunned.

(A breakthrough-level Honkai beast? It looks like a normal type. But it knows how to ambush and sneak attack... Strange, isn't it only high-level Honkai creatures that have such intelligence...?)

Alan frowned, but the next moment, the Honkai energy detection reaction that had just disappeared suddenly lit up again! She suddenly realized and was about to raise her gun to fight back, but with a breeze blowing, a certain existence came to her side in an instant...

Looking at the silver-white light that flashed across his vision, Alan instantly realized the identity of the person who came. The slender figure wrapped in bandages was obviously the target he had been chasing for the past few days!

(Taking the initiative...? Are you looking down on me?!)

Alan's eyes fixed, and the swinging punch he swung subconsciously was gently intercepted. The figure suddenly turned around, spun backwards with one foot as the axis, and leaned over to avoid the energy fired by Alan's gun.

Bunch, and then flashed behind her...

(Oops! Must keep some distance...!)

---puff!!

"Uh-huh!!"

The next moment, Alan felt a piercing pain coming from his right leg, and he couldn't help but scream! The tumbling action he was planning to do was also stopped, and he almost lost his balance and fell forward...

A second ago, the silver-haired girl bent down and pulled out the dagger she was carrying from Alan's waist. The moment she flashed behind her, she stabbed the dagger into the Valkyrie's knee with her backhand!

“Ugh! You…!”

Alan gritted his teeth and twisted his body with all his strength, and a sharp blade popped out from the armor on his left wrist.

Alan slashed hard behind him with his wrist blade, trying to force back the enemy, but the silver-haired girl came forward directly, pulled out the dagger stuck in her leg, and blocked the attack with the back of the knife!

Blood gushed out of the wound, and the sharp pain in her leg drained her strength in an instant. As a result, her wrist blade was pushed back by the silver-haired girl's dagger. The injured leg could no longer support her body, and Alan fell on her back...

"Just a test subject......!"

The Valkyrie roared with disbelief on her face, and raised the gun in her right hand again! But the silver-haired girl leaned over and pounced on her, avoiding the muzzle of her gun, and before Alan could defend herself with her wrist blade, she stabbed the sharp blade in her hand directly into her left shoulder and turned the blade fiercely! With a teeth-grinding creaking sound, the nerves in Alan's left arm were completely cut off...

“——Ugh!!”

Riding on Alan's abdomen, the silver-haired girl completely ignored her miserable cries of pain, turned around and grabbed Alan's right wrist that was still holding the gun, and supported her elbow with her other hand. With both hands, she broke her right arm joint and took away the gun in her hand...

Alan could no longer scream when her right arm was broken. With both arms crippled and one leg injured, she was completely defeated. At this moment, she could do nothing but glare at the indifferent silver-haired girl.

"You are so persistent... You have been chasing me for five days. Did we have any conflicts before? But I don't even know you... Could it be that among those Valkyries I killed before, there were your friends?"

Shirley asked softly, turning the Water Fairy II pistol in her hand and pointing the muzzle at Alan's forehead.

"Not talking? Haha... It doesn't matter. Most of the Valkyries in your Destiny Headquarters are like this anyway, stupid and paranoid... Based on this, I guess you won't tell me the information about the tracking team."

"Bah! Kill me now! Damn experiment subject... just wait, you can't escape! The captain will avenge me soon!"

Alan said viciously, her broken right arm trembling slightly, as if she wanted to fight back. In response, Shilis smiled disdainfully and knocked her forehead with the barrel of the gun.

"Idiot, don't think I don't know that there are no other Valkyries near you. If you want to bluff, you should understand the situation. Well, after talking so much nonsense, have you sent out your distress signal?"

Hearing this, Alan's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him with a little confusion.

(She was waiting for me to send a distress signal?! Why...?)

Alan's doubts did not last long. Shiris raised her hand and pressed it on her left arm where the nerves were broken, mobilizing the Honkai energy in her body.

Facing this girl who was no more than sixteen years old, Shiris did not hesitate at all and slowly injected the Honkai energy that was enough to kill a human into the body of this Valkyrie.

254 Subtle Changes >>

The next moment, as a strange and sharp pain came from his left arm, Alan could not help but groan, and then he widened his eyes and looked at the silver-haired girl with a calm expression in surprise and suspicion.

"Ugh...! W...what are you doing?!"

Silis did not answer her, and continued to inject the Honkai energy into the body of the Valkyrie. Soon, as Alan's arm slowly lost consciousness, she suddenly discovered with horror that the skin on her exposed fingers gradually lost its blood color and turned gray, and some purple lines slowly lingered on it...

Shilis didn't answer her immediately, she just took back her hand and looked at the terrified Alan calmly. After a long while, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"From the look in your eyes, I can tell that you actually want to live... Okay, 3 ml of high-intensity Honkai energy has been injected. The balance between the artificial stigmata and Honkai energy in your body has been broken. In about thirty minutes, you will be completely eroded by Honkai and become a dead soldier. But if you calculate the time, your teammates will find you before that. Let's guess, what will they do after they meet you?"

As she spoke with a smile, Shilis put away her gun, ignored the Valkyrie's gradually realizing look, stood up, straightened her tattered white coat, and tied the pistol to her waist with a bandage.

"Well... judging from your expression,

Have you figured it out? If your captain wants to save you, he must take out his hands to give you first aid and protect you, but this will weaken your search force against me......"

"On the contrary, if your captain is someone who puts the mission first, then she will definitely abandon you as a burden and continue to lead the team in pursuit. Moreover, in order to prevent you from becoming a dead soldier, they will definitely end your suffering with their own hands... Alas, no matter what the reason, killing your companions with your own hands will make your companions depressed, and this emotion will inevitably affect the battle. It will still be a favorable condition for me~ Hehe..."

After saying this, Silis turned around, no longer looking at the unwilling Valkyrie, and left here directly, walking towards the front of the jungle...

"Hey, wait... Bastard! Don't run! K424, kill me..."

“Come back! Come back here! Damn you…! Kill me! Kill me quickly…! I don’t want to be a burden! I don’t want to!!”

"You bitch! Whore! ****! Cough cough..."

Ignoring the voice behind her, Shilis's expression returned to calmness. She slowly walked to the side of the Assault-level Honkai Beast that was defeated by the Valkyrie before, leaned over to check it, and shook her head slightly.

"How pitiful! His body functions have completely stopped. There is no hope of saving him. However, there are still some usable remains..."

The girl raised her hand and absorbed the remaining Honkai energy from the remains of the Honkai beast. She looked at the Honkai beast that dissipated in the wind, turned around again, and left the place.

Shirley was not worried that her plan would fail. She had already taken away all the weapons from the Valkyrie. Her arms and one leg were completely disabled. She could only crawl like a caterpillar. In this case, suicide was impossible. As for biting her tongue to commit suicide... Haha, is there really anyone who would believe in such a nonsensical method of suicide?

"Speaking of which, the moral education of the Destiny Organization is really a failure. A 16-year-old Valkyrie can use so many swear words. What will happen to her in the future? Tsk tsk..."

The silver-haired girl chuckled and shook her head, picking her ears as if she wanted to get out all the dirty words she had just heard. She thought for a moment, took off the Water Fairy II pistol tied to her waist, and directly absorbed the Houkai energy stored in the weapon.

"Who knows if there is any tracking system on the Tianming's standard equipment... It's safer to throw it away, and I'm not good at using guns..."

Throwing away the empty pistol, Shilis walked forward. She originally wanted to grab a piece of Valkyrie armor and put it on herself, but when she thought that the equipment with an intelligent system would definitely be tracked by Destiny, she gave up the idea.

"But it seems that I have made some progress... I can defeat the B-rank Valkyrie without relying on Honkai energy. I see, fighting skills are really important..."

"Since I have already escaped, Otto has no reason to attack Noni again... But it's still a bit troublesome. At least during this period of time, I probably won't have a chance to rescue her..."
