K424 of the Collapse World

"Companion? Hehe..."

At the reason given by Jiuxiao, Shilis was stunned for a moment, and her expression became a little subtle. She thought about it for a while, and finally did not say anything hurtful, and tacitly accepted that this middle school girl with second-year syndrome called herself a companion.

"Well... Miss Penglai Temple, if that's the case, then what are your plans next?"

"Eh? What are you going to do next...? Of course I'm going to continue following you. Lady Shilis is a hero who has signed a contract with me!"

Hearing Shilisi's question, Jiuxiao tilted his head slightly and answered without thinking. In response, Shilisi smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.

"Hehe...I think so."

For Shiris, she had saved this girl named Penglai Temple Jiuxiao before, and in return, she took her to find the me company. Originally, this would have cleared the gap between them, but Jiuxiao was obviously just an ordinary girl. If she let her stay here, she would die under the attack of the Honkai creatures within ten minutes...

(Well, let’s save him anyway. It’s not a big deal anyway… Mr. Raiden Ryoma probably wouldn’t mind receiving a survivor.)

Silis thought silently, walked towards the vaguely visible buildings in the distance, and waved to Jiuxiao behind her, signaling her to follow. However, Silis took a few steps forward, but did not hear the footsteps of Jiuxiao catching up, so she turned around and looked at Jiuxiao who was still standing there.

"Miss Penglai Temple?"

"..."

Looking at Jiuxiao who was staring at the sky with a dull face, Xi Lisi frowned and asked. The next moment, she suddenly realized something, raised her head, and looked up at the sky along with Jiuxiao's gaze.

"Ah... this is really..."

Seeing the huge monster breaking through the air in the distance, Shirley's pupils shrank slightly, and she subconsciously put the hood of her coat on her head again to cover her face and her long silver hair.

After doing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, pursed her lips lightly, and her blue eyes narrowed slightly.

"The Hyperion has arrived in Changkong City...? Then, according to this development, what should have happened at this time should be..."

Shirley was talking to herself, but suddenly, her keen perception made her suddenly aware, and she turned around immediately, only to see a Temple-level Honkai Beast as big as a tall building suddenly appeared! It was only one street away from where Shirley was currently...

---boom!!

The next moment, this temple-level Houkai beast suddenly swung its giant blade-like arm and swept across the buildings in that area! With one strike, half a block of buildings were destroyed. Shiris stood a few hundred meters away, and her white hair was blown high by the strong wind that came with the attack.

"Shi...Shiris! What should we do?"

Jiuxiao blocked the fierce wind with his hands and shouted to the silver-haired girl beside him in panic. But Shilis was at a loss for a moment. The giant Honkai beast was obviously

The target of the attack was unknown, and Jiuxiao was not paying attention to her. Taking the opportunity to escape was the best option. But according to a certain memory of hers, Shilis knew who those people were being attacked...

(I actually ran into this... Should I intervene directly? Or... should I just leave it alone and let the "plot" develop on its own?)

The ability to control Honkai creatures is not omnipotent. Now Shirley can only control lower-level Honkai creatures. Although powerful Honkai beasts will not actively attack her, they will also ignore her orders. After all, Shirley is not a Herrscher, and this Herrscher power is naturally incomplete.

While Shiris was thinking, the huge floating battleship seemed to have noticed the abnormal situation and immediately turned the ship around and flew quickly towards the direction of the giant Honkai beast...

(As expected, let’s avoid it for now… The Far East Branch has arrived now, so “Kiana” and Mei and the others won’t be in any danger. That’s right, it’s not the time to contact them yet…)

Thinking of this, Xi Lisi suddenly grabbed Jiu Xiao's hand and ran forward...

Suddenly, a terrifying energy wave came into her mind through her perception. She turned her head in shock and saw a purple plasma ball floating in the air. The strong light was like the sun, illuminating the surrounding streets! With the crazy jumping arcs, the energy ball slowly pressed down on the top of the Honkai Beast...

(Mei is going berserk... What is Raiden Ryoma doing?!)

Shiris' pupils shrank, and after predicting the power of the energy impact in her mind, she couldn't help but smack her tongue. She made a prompt decision, stopped the momentum of her body instantly, dragged Jiuxiao, who was full of confusion, and threw her behind her. She activated the few Honkai energies in her body, and the crystal wall condensed at a high speed, forming a matrix in front of her...

The next moment, accompanied by a roar, a lightning column rose up to the sky, illuminating the entire night sky of Changkong City! Even the moonlight was eclipsed by this light column. The next moment, the destructive energy turned into a shock wave, spreading outward, and in the blink of an eye, it roared past the area where Shilis was...

The crystal shield was instantly covered with cracks under the strong impact. Silis supported the shield calmly, but sweat slowly seeped out from her back...

Under the attack of the Herrscher, everything is like an ant. Of course, she is no exception now... However, Shilis can feel that this level is still within the tolerable range. She didn't need to resist it at all, but if she dodged, the girl behind her would probably be torn into pieces by the shock wave.

The impact soon subsided, the smoke and dust dispersed, and the devastated city was already in ruins. Shilis took a deep breath, released the energy support, and the almost completely broken barrier turned into light particles and disappeared. The silver-haired girl shook her head, steadied her steps with some effort, turned around slightly, and after confirming that Jiuxiao, who was protecting her, was fine, she let go of her worries.

The silver-haired girl leaned forward slightly. Jiuxiao reached out her hand hastily, trying to help the girl up. But Shilis raised her hand to stop Jiuxiao's action, trying to keep her balance. Her body just shook, but she didn't fall down.

"Siris! Are you... okay?"

"It's nothing, I just felt a little exhausted due to the instantaneous consumption of energy. It's nothing serious. Instead of that, let's get out of here now!"

Shirley said hurriedly, glancing at the huge crater-like depression at the corner of the street. Above, a black-haired girl with a single crystal wing on her back was floating in the air, holding an unconscious silver-haired girl in her arms, her deep red vertical pupils looking down at everything around her.

Shirley pulled Jiuxiao and planned to leave the street before Mei, the Herrscher, could see them. But things did not go as planned. She had just taken two steps when two smaller tank-class Honkai beasts came towards her. Their bloated bodies completely blocked the road ahead. The next moment, the purple eyes on the heads of the two Honkai beasts locked onto Jiuxiao and Shirley.

In that single eye, there is a strong hostility...

"It looks like these Honkai beasts have gathered because of the awakening of the third Herrscher?! This is troublesome. If the real Herrscher appears, they will no longer regard me as one of their own..."

Shilis' pupils shrank, and she clenched her teeth. She let go of Jiuxiao's hand and looked at the Honkai beasts in front of her solemnly. For her, although her body had not yet recovered from the exhaustion, as long as she briefly activated the Herrscher mode, it would not be a problem to deal with these two low-level Honkai beasts...

(But if I directly explode the Honkai energy, the Third Herrscher will definitely notice it... But, I can't worry about that now!)

261 Collapse due to various reasons >>

Shirley exhaled, and a few purple particles emanated from her body. With the Houkai energy reserves of Shirley's three artificial stigmata, the pseudo-herrscher state that could once be maintained permanently could only be maintained for a few dozen seconds. However, this amount of time was enough for her to tear the two Houkai beasts in front of her with her bare hands.

However, before she could

The remaining Honkai energy is squeezed out, and sudden changes occur!

- Swish!

Amid the dangerous sound of breaking through the air, several blue rays instantly enveloped the two Honkai beasts. With the splashing of liquid Honkai energy, the intensive slashing directly shattered the two Honkai beasts into pieces! The next moment, behind the collapsed wreckage of the Honkai beasts, a petite black-haired girl stood behind them, slightly twisted the sickle in her hand and retracted it behind her. Her clear sea-blue eyes were cast towards Shiris and Jiuxiao not far away, and after a slight glance, she turned her gaze to the Herrscher Mei in the air in the distance.

"You two, please leave here immediately! ME will provide shelter for the survivors. There is no time to explain the rest. I am now..."

"...Xi'er?"

Shilis opened her mouth slightly, looking at the black-haired girl in front of her with surprise. Seeing the familiar appearance and the shocked expression on the girl's face, she instantly confirmed the identity of the girl in front of her and immediately shouted out involuntarily.

"Eh?"

Hearing Shilis' call, the black-haired girl was slightly stunned, and once again cast her gaze on the slender figure in the coat in front of her, her thin eyebrows slightly frowned.

"This voice...are you Sister Shilis?!"

Xier exclaimed, looking at the face of Shirley's hood in disbelief. After Shirley slightly lifted her hood to show Xier her true face, the black-haired girl rushed forward and threw herself into Shirley's arms.

"Sister Shilis! You... are finally back!"

"Xie'er..."

Gently stroking Xi'er's back, Shirley was suddenly filled with mixed emotions. This girl who was lost in the quantum sea returned to the real world with the help of her friends. Shirley had never expected that the first acquaintance she met after returning to the Far East would be this girl...

Feeling Xier loosen the arms around her waist, Shirley was about to ask something when a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in her heart!

"You annoying reptile... How dare you slaughter my followers in front of me? Get lost."

The Herrscher Mei glanced indifferently at the figures in the distance. With a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes, she casually raised her hand and waved it. A beam of energy composed of electrical energy whizzed out and headed straight for Shirley and the other two in front of her!

---boom!!

A powerful explosion enveloped the road in the distance, and a violent torrent of energy overflowed. The resulting shock wave broke the surrounding road surface, and gravel and dust were rolled up like huge waves...

Mei, the Herrscher, turned her head away, letting the strong wind from the explosion blow past her ears, not caring about the power of her attack. To her, this level of attack was no different from playing around and killing a few ants.

"Tsk... Ants are just endless. That's all. Now I don't have time to mess around with you guys..."

Ignoring the slowly approaching floating battleship, the Third Herrscher looked down at the weak, gasping silver-haired girl in her arms. Thinking of the scene where she sacrificed herself to protect "herself", she couldn't help but clench her teeth, and a trace of worry flashed in her wild vertical pupils.

"To protect that loser... Hey, Kiana, wake up quickly! I won't allow you to die in the hands of an ant..."

She frowned and gently shook Kiana's body, but this did not wake her up. As the silver-haired girl's face became paler and her breath gradually weakened...

"Kiana Kaslana! Is this all you have? Wake up! I will only allow you to die in my hands!"

Looking at Kiana, who was on the verge of death in her arms, the eyes of the Third Herrscher gradually became impatient. Just as she was about to treat the girl, the street side that she had just destroyed suddenly erupted with a wave of Honkai energy...

"Huh? This is..."

The third Herrscher frowned and turned around to see the dense smoke being torn apart by a sharp gust of wind. The black-haired girl holding a sickle stood on the road unscathed. Behind her, the fan-shaped road surface was intact. The other two figures were protected by her and were not affected by the previous attack at all.

Shilis dispersed the purple arc in her hand and adjusted her breathing. She glanced at Jiuxiao who was sitting on the ground and breathing slightly, and then turned her eyes to Xier who raised the sickle in front of her.

"It was a close call. Thank you, Xier."

"You're welcome... Sister Xi Li Si. You saved Xi'er that time, but this time, Xi'er will protect you!"

"Eh...? Hey! Xier, wait..."

"It's okay, Sister Shilis. Trust me, it will be over soon."

In response to Shirley's dissuasion, Xi'er just smiled at her, then exhaled slightly, her eyes fixed, and the color of her pupils instantly changed from sea blue to red. The next moment, the dissipated Honkai energy covered her ordinary dress, just like the Herrscher used Honkai energy to

It transformed into a blue low-cut dress, just revealing the bright red Herrscher stigmata above her chest.

"Although the task that Mr. Raiden Ryoma gave me was only to clean up the nearby dead soldiers, but there probably wouldn't be any problem in solving the source of the collapse at the same time, right?"

Seele muttered to herself, she raised her head, and her scarlet eyes locked onto the Herrscher Mei in the distance. Her body also slowly floated up, flying to the same height as the Herrscher, raised the sickle in her hand, and pointed it at the third Herrscher in the distance.

"Let's get started, partner. After we solve these problems, we'll go home with Sister Shilis!"

(Okay, okay~ I know you are happy to see your sister Shilis. Then... as you wish, my host...)

Hearing the playful voice of the Holy Scar Girl in her mind, Xier smiled slightly, dragged her sickle and turned into a stream of light, rushing directly towards the solemn-looking Third Herrscher...

"What exactly is going on......"

Inside the bridge of Hyperion, Ji Zi frowned tightly, looking at the two figures fighting on the battleship terminal screen, her eyes full of confusion.

She only glanced at the explosion in the street next door and didn't pay attention to it again. In the battle against the Herrscher, she didn't have the extra energy to spend on such things. Because of the lack of light at night, Jizi didn't find the two figures hidden in the ruins...

"The Third Herrscher... should be the black-haired girl who played with lightning, right? But wasn't the Third Herrscher I encountered last time the damn girl with purple hair? And... what about that girl who appeared out of nowhere and fought the Third Herrscher on equal terms?"

Hearing Ji Zi's surprised voice, the adjutant next to her pushed up his glasses, looked at the detection data on the screen in front of him, then raised his hand and pushed the light screen in front of Ji Zi.

"Major Himeko, according to the test... the source of the Houkai energy in Changkong City is the girl who controls lightning. There is no doubt that she is the Third Herrscher who caused the Houkai. However, the other girl who fought with her also had Houkai energy reactions that were not inferior to those of the Third Herrscher."

"what?!"

Hearing the adjutant's words, Ji Zi's eyebrows raised slightly.

"Are they all Houkai creatures? Eh... this is really strange. So Houkai will also have internal strife? Are the Death Soldiers trying to overthrow the rule of the Herrscher?"

"Major Himeko, please stop making meaningless jokes. The order given to us by headquarters is to capture the Herrscher alive, and now is obviously a good opportunity."

"Haha... well said."

Jizi chuckled, stood up, and took off the commander's uniform on her body, revealing the light fusion armor underneath.

"First, start the No. 6 nuclear furnace on the battleship deck, then deploy the barrier, and then release the safety of the battleship's electromagnetic railgun. When they are exhausted, fire the gun to say hello to these lovely girls, and then let me meet them in person..."

"Wait, Major Himeko, are you planning to use the fusion armor again? Principal Theresa has previously instructed..."

"Stop! Have you forgotten my medical examination report, Miss Adjutant? According to the regulations, I am now qualified to activate the fusion armor."

Jizi smiled slightly, then left the bridge and ran towards the armory. Suddenly, the purple-haired girl she met a year ago flashed through her mind, and her eyes became deep.

(Speaking of which, that damn purple-haired girl... If you are not the Third Herrscher, then what are you? And why did you kill me and then revive me... One day, I will catch you and ask you for the truth!)

262 Control of the Battle

Under the moonlit night, a blue shadow quickly flew across the dark night sky, nimbly avoiding several attacking electromagnetic beams. The huge sickle was raised high, and the blade directly split the last energy beam and slashed straight down towards the Queen of Lightning in front of it...

"Damn it! Who the hell are you?!"

The falling sickle slashed on a translucent force field barrier, causing a strong current wave. The super electromagnetic field around the Third Herrscher was enough to resist most physical attacks. But after being hit several times by Seele's sickle, the force field began to become shaky. In response, the Herrscher Mei's expression was a little surprised.

"You are just a fake that stole the power of God... How can you break God's shield? Traitor! What on earth is wrong with your power?!"

"Hehe~... guess what? It's just a pitiful fragment. Even if it's your main body, you only dare to call yourself a messenger of God. Just based on a remnant like you, you dare to call yourself a god?"

Xier giggled, pulled away the sickle and stepped back, tilting her head to avoid an energy arc attack, and a playful look flashed across her red eyes. The next moment, her expression returned to her previous serious look, and she swung the sickle again, slashing out continuously like a phantom, and in the blink of an eye, she dispersed all the energy waves that were bombarding her.

"You destroyed the entire Changkong City, and you still dare to

Sister Silis took action... Go to hell and repent your sins, the Third Herrscher!"

She said coldly, and quickly turned the sickle in her hand. As she turned, she swung a spinning slash. The energy arc extended along with the sickle blade, instantly covering the Herrscher Mei's body! This attack directly penetrated the third Herrscher's super electromagnetic field, forcing her to take evasive action for the first time.

"Humph! You did a great job... A mere traitor can force the gods to make concessions? Very well, you are dead!"

Herrscher Mei roared, and unprecedented violent thunder rushed out, and her Herrscher Core was driven by her full strength. In response, Seele still charged forward without giving in, and a thin layer of dark blue phantom began to attach to her sickle.

The next moment, thunder and light and shadow intersected again, and the two girls fought again.

·————————————·

In the ruins directly below the battlefield, as a black shadow flashed by, Shiris broke into the encirclement of the Honkai creatures. Using the Valkyrie's weapons and the decomposition current with the least consumption, she killed all the small Honkai beasts that blocked her way and came to the center of the encirclement.

She placed Jiuxiao in a relatively safe second floor, and came here alone. In this area, no Honkai beasts from the outside came. Because they were previously ordered by the Herrscher Mei not to harm the two humans inside.

Kiana was gently put back to the ground by the Herrscher Mei at the very beginning of the battle. Even if the Herrscher Mei was so arrogant, she could see that Seele's strength should not be underestimated.

Coming to the center of the depression, Shirley looked at the silver-haired girl lying in a pool of blood. She panicked and quickly bent down to check her injuries.
