K424 of the Collapse World

"He lost too much blood. If he had been a moment later, he would have died... Damn it! The original plot is really unreliable. But it's true. I have changed so many things. It's only natural that there will be irreversible deviations in the future..."

Looking at the pale "Kiana", Shilis immediately turned her body over, put her hand on the wound on her back, and mobilized her remaining little Honkai energy, unsparingly activating the power of creation. In a blink of an eye, the hideous wound on the girl's back was restored to its original state. The smooth skin under the torn clothes did not show any signs of injury.

"That's fine, but..."

Shiris breathed a sigh of relief and turned her gaze to the large warship in the sky, frowning slightly.

"Those idiots from Hyperion...! They watched Seele and Mei fight, but they didn't intervene or come down to save them. Do they really want to just sit back and reap the benefits?"

Shiris thought with gritted teeth, not knowing that the warship had insufficient visibility at night, and she directly threw the blame on Hyperion.

After calming down a little, Shirley looked around and found Bronya, who was also unconscious, under a broken wall not far from here.

"Hmm... the injury wasn't serious, she probably just fainted. But when Seele and Mei were fighting, didn't they notice Bronya?"

After repairing the scratches on the gray-haired girl, Shiris stood up and turned her gaze towards the Herrscher and the Pseudo-Herrscher who were still fighting.

"I never thought... Seele would become so powerful. But if this continues, it won't be good..."

Xi'er swung her sickle more and more slowly. Facing the thunder that came like a tide from the Third Herrscher, she gradually became flustered.

The balance that determines the outcome of the battle has begun to tilt towards the Third Herrscher. Shiris frowned tightly and her eyes became anxious.

Shirley knew that Seele had the same Herrscher stigmata as Mei, so theoretically she could exert the basic combat power of a Herrscher. However, she did not have a Herrscher core that matched the stigmata, so even if she could temporarily compete with the third Herrscher, she was doomed to fail.

Therefore, the Third Herrscher only needs to hold on for a while, and when Xier is exhausted, he can kill her at will.

Now, she is clearly not far from victory...

Seeing all this happening in front of her, even though Shiris didn't want Seele to get hurt, she could only worry about it now. In a battle of this magnitude, she had no room to intervene and could only use the power of creation to be a medic. With only three artificial stigmata left, she couldn't even last five seconds in front of the Herrscher Mei.

Thinking of this, she raised her head with resentment, silently looking at the floating battleship above her that was still motionless, and couldn't help but clenching her fists.

Although from the perspective of the Far East Branch, she could understand the other party's idea of ​​sitting back and reaping the benefits. But understanding does not mean agreement, not to mention that the two sides now have different positions. Seeing Seele's increasing disadvantage in the battle, Shilis now wanted to jump onto Hyperion, slap Himeko twice, and then take back her own power and solve the problem herself.

"What else do you bastards want to see?

When...! Do you have to wait until Xi'er is killed before you take action?! In that case..."

Shiris suppressed the anger in her heart, took a deep breath, felt the Houkai energy in the air, and made a plan.

At this time, the concentration of Honkai energy in the environment gradually increased with the battle between Mei and Seele, and it has reached a level that can be actively absorbed...

(Okay, you guys forced me to do this...)

——!

"It's time...fire!"

Suddenly, as a woman's voice sounded faintly in the sky, the huge cannon at the bottom of the floating battleship, which had been motionless just now, suddenly roared! A strong light burst out from the muzzle and rushed straight towards the dominant Herrscher Mei, forcing her to give up chasing Xi'er and use the electromagnetic force field to block the attack.

"Damn it... Damn human, how dare you interfere at a time like this? Get lost!"

Herrscher Mei shouted with anger on her face, and launched a counterattack without hesitation. The strong electromagnetic beam that burst out pushed back the battleship's energy cannon, and rushed straight towards the floating battleship with unstoppable force. But the next moment, a huge arc-shaped energy wave flew out from the top of the battleship and hit the force field shield created by Mei. The sudden impact made her body shake slightly, and the beam released from her hand lost its accuracy, whizzed past the side of the battleship, and disappeared into the distant horizon.

With the opportunity created by Hyperion, Seele was able to escape from Mei's fierce attack. She panted slightly, looking at the Third Herrscher who still had the strength to fight Hyperion with some reluctance. She bit her lip and trembled as she tightened the sickle in her hand.

As expected, I still underestimated the so-called Herrscher. Even with the assistance of the stigma consciousness and thousands of years of combat experience, without the Herrscher core, the absolute gap in energy foundation could obviously not be made up by these.

"Ugh... Xi'er, I didn't listen to Sister Shirisi just now, and ended up losing the battle..."

(Hey! Xier, stop blaming yourself, the battle isn't over yet!)

Hearing this, Seele was slightly startled, and she realized that the floating battleship quickly fell into a disadvantage after confronting the Third Herrscher. Although Seele knew during her time in ME that the Destiny side was her enemy, but now, under the threat of the common enemy, the Herrscher, she obviously didn't need to think too much about what to do. So, she dragged her sickle again and joined the battle between Hyperion and the Third Herrscher.

During the confrontation with the Third Herrscher, when Ji Zi saw this scene, her expression changed slightly.

(Oh? That little girl actually came back to help again? Does she have a grudge against the Third Herrscher? Hmph, this is just right...)

While thinking, she swung the Corona Sword again with great force. The high-energy particle wave composed of the burst of fusion nuclear energy was like sword energy, directly meeting the oncoming electromagnetic beam and splitting it into two.

(But what’s going on? When I used this device before, I could only hold on for a few dozen seconds before I became exhausted, but now… the load on my body seems to have been reduced a lot?)

262 Control of the Battle Situation>>

Although she was shocked by her own fighting power, Jizi knew that now was not the time to think about such things. Soon, she focused her attention on the battle with the Herrscher. What she didn't know was that as she fought with all her might, a sword-shaped holy mark slowly appeared on her chest...

After getting Seele's help, the battle situation tilted to the other side again. Facing the combined attack of the battleship and Seele, Herrscher Mei's expression began to become more and more irritated. She raised her hand to shake off Seele's sickle, and used energy to temporarily suppress the battleship and Himeko's attack, shouting a little anxiously.

“Enough, stop it! You...even if you are a traitor who has betrayed God, why are you helping your enemies?!”

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend! Although the guys from Destiny are not good people either, they are much better than you who created the disaster!"

"Stupid! They won't let you go!"

In the melee, Seele, holding a giant sickle, cooperated with the artillery cover of the floating battleship and Jizi's joint attack, and launched a more fierce battle with the Third Herrscher than before. However, the three parties in the battle did not notice the increasingly strong energy fluctuations on the ground directly below the battlefield...

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the Third Herrscher frowned, and hurriedly dodged several incoming attacks. Then, as she pulled away, she lowered her head and looked down. The next moment, her pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at the giant ball of light that covered the width of the main street, and she couldn't help but be a little dazed.

“This…what is this?!”

It was a semi-transparent virtual body composed of red and blue energy balls, with arcs of electricity constantly fluctuating on it. The chaotic energy was forcibly mixed together, forcibly forming this chaotic spherical shape...

At this time, Xier and Jizi also noticed the light, lowered their heads, and looked at the sudden abnormal situation, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Jizi didn't know what was going on, but Xier

But he soon discovered a figure standing under the chaotic energy ball.

“Sister Shilis…?!”

The next moment, she saw the figure below making a slight gesture towards her. With Xier's enhanced vision, she could basically see the meaning of the gesture. After confirming the other party's instructions, Xier was slightly stunned, then immediately withdrew the sickle, turned around and fled.

At this time, on the ground below, after seeing that Xier had left, a smile appeared on Shiris's slightly pale face, and she turned her gaze to the huge energy field she had constructed.

"Since Kiana has been thrown down, there is no way to tear off Mei's wings. In this case, I will take over the task of stopping the Herrscher, and by the way, I will punish you guys who just want to watch the fun..."

She muttered to herself, letting the energy field's air waves make her coat rustle. Indeed, with Shiris's current body, she couldn't store such a large amount of Honkai energy, but her ability to control Honkai was not weakened at all. In this special environment filled with various forms of Honkai energy, she could absorb the Honkai energy and gather it in one place, instead of storing it in her body, she could just remotely control it in an out-of-body state.

It turns out that this is indeed feasible, although the environment requirements are quite harsh, but now there is just the right condition. Obviously, just doing this will not cause the Honkai energy in her body to become unbalanced and run away.

Ignoring the alarm issued by her brain after overdrawing her mental power, Shilis tried her best to gather the surrounding electrical and thermal energy. At this moment, various forms of Honkai energy were mixed in this chaotic energy field. These energies did not undergo any changes in nature, but were simply forcibly kneaded together by her mental power to form this chaotic energy body...

In the sky, after seeing Xier running away, Ji Zi and the third Herrscher were both stunned. The next moment they realized the current situation. However, it was already too late.

"As a former aerial splits cleaner, let me clean the deck for you one last time..."

Smiling and murmuring, Shiris slightly closed her clenched right hand. Under her control, the energy began to gather evenly, reaching a level that could just cover the floating battleship and the Herrscher Mei. Then, a huge ball of light suddenly shot upwards, directly hitting the battleship and the third Herrscher that were still in the air...

"What's going on... Ai! Quickly strengthen the barrier!"

"How dare a mere ant...!"

The energy ball lost its shape the next moment after it was launched, and became a mixture of pure heat and electromagnetism, surging up to the sky and rushing in front of the two in just a moment. It was too late to evade Himeko and Meiyi, so they stopped fighting each other and tried to resist this unknown Aoe that did not distinguish between friend and foe...

The next moment, a violent energy wave enveloped them. Under strong scattered attacks, the Herrscher Mei was still able to withstand it, but the huge Hyperion was not so lucky. The barrier was completely torn apart within a second, and the hull itself was completely exposed to the energy wave!

After this attack, the entire battleship seemed to be thrown into a huge furnace. The hard outer alloy armor was rapidly decomposed and melted... Ji Zi, who was standing on the top of the battleship, used a big sword to protect her body and struggled to hold on, but the next moment, as the energy burned the cables connected to her back and lost the power support of the nuclear furnace, she directly lost the means of resisting the attack. She was immediately blown away by the impact and fell directly from the battleship.

Fortunately, the duration of the covering attack was not long, and the huge energy ball disappeared completely in an instant. The Hyperion, with its deck severely damaged, was floating in the air. Affected by the penetration of the super electromagnetic field, its internal electronic equipment was almost completely paralyzed! Now, except for the most basic floating, it can't do anything else for the time being.

“Huh…Huh…What on earth is this…?”

The Third Herrscher removed the super electromagnetic field that served as a barrier, took a deep breath, and then cast his gaze towards the figure half-kneeling on the ground below, with a look of doubt and surprise.

- Swish!

Suddenly, a blue light flashed by, and the Herrscher Mei widened her eyes in shock, watching the Honkai Crystal Wings behind her, which were the source of her power, being shattered by a single blow.

Xier stood in mid-air holding the sickle, looking at the furious Third Herrscher with an indifferent expression, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn...traitor!!"

The Third Herrscher roared, but the next moment, as the Honkai energy rapidly faded, her consciousness began to blur and she gradually lost control of her body.

Mei lost her buoyancy and fell down, but was picked up by Xi'er and slowly lowered back to the ground...

At this moment, on a shattered street, a red-haired woman lying on the ground coughed up blood, slowly opened her eyes, and looked around at the ruins around her with a confused look on her face.

"Ahem...what on earth is going on?"

At the moment when the warship was shot down, Ji Zi thought she would definitely die. Being hit directly by such a powerful energy and then falling directly from a height of several hundred meters, it is estimated that even a Valkyrie would be shattered.

Not even a single piece of him would be left. He was able to survive under such circumstances. This kind of thing cannot be explained by luck...

(My body...what on earth is going on?!)

Even though the armor was completely damaged, the wounds on his body were not too serious. It was as if he was protected by something invisible...

"Are you awake? Haha... Muliangta Himeko, I actually met you again, what a coincidence."

Suddenly, a familiar girl's voice sounded above her head. Ji Zi was startled and just wanted to prop herself up, but in response she was kicked mercilessly by the other party, directly on her shoulder!

Being attacked suddenly, Jizi fell on her back in a mess. Although the blow was not very heavy for her, it made Jizi exhausted and her vision blurred. She only had the strength to breathe.

The next moment, a bandaged foot stepped on her chest. Ji Zi groaned, and suddenly found that a slender figure in a coat appeared in front of her. The hood covered her true face, and she could only barely see that it should be a young girl...

"you......?"

Ji Zi was slightly stunned, and just as she was about to say something, the little mouth under the girl's hood curled up slightly, and a cold smile appeared on her face.

"Hmph... My stigmata are very comfortable to use, right? Do you remember what happened half a year ago? As a human being, you should be grateful..."

"What...you, your stigmata?!"

Hearing that faint voice, Ji Zi was stunned as if struck by lightning, and instantly remembered the incident that had puzzled her. The purple-haired girl who had "killed" her in the past gradually overlapped with the slender figure in front of her.

The next moment, without giving her a chance to ask questions, the girl's heel landed hard on the side of her head! In a moment of dizziness, Ji Zi's consciousness fell into darkness...

At this point, the Third Herrscher was defeated, Hyperion was unable to move, and Memento Himeko was unconscious, and the melee had completely come to an end.

263 Post-war Processing

"Then... next, it's time to deal with post-war matters."

After knocking the injured Ji Zi unconscious, Shilis took a deep breath, swallowed the fishy-sweet taste in her throat, stretched her stiff body, raised her head, and cast her gaze towards the black-haired girl who was slowly falling.

Xier held the unconscious Mei and fell back to the ground. The energy dress on her body turned into light spots and dissipated, and the simple dress from before returned to her body again.

"Sister Shilis..."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xier. Are you not hurt?"

Gently stroking Xier's blue-black hair, Shilis checked her physical condition briefly, and after not finding any injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come to think of it, Xi'er, Miss Stigmata has always been by your side, right? Did she complete the battle for you just now?"

"No, Sister Stigmata only assisted occasionally. Most of the work was done by Xi'er herself! Sister Xi Lisi, do you want to talk to Sister Stigmata?"

"Wait a moment, time is a little tight now. But this is really surprising... the little girl who used to do nothing but cry has become so strong? Sigh... On the other hand, I am getting worse and worse."

While sighing, Shirley took Meiyi from Xier's arms and gently laid her flat on the ground. Xier stomped her feet in dissatisfaction with Shirley's absent-minded words.

"Really... Seele will grow up too. Oh, by the way! That, Sister Shiris... Seele heard from Sister Tesla that you were kidnapped by the bad guys from the Destiny Organization. What happened, and how did you escape?"

"Well... it's a long story. A lot has happened in the past few months. But you, Xier, have you fully recovered?"

"Yes, Lord Einstein pulled Seer out of the Quantum Ocean, and he and Dr. Darwin helped Seer reconstruct her body. Now, Seer is completely fine!"

"Is that so? That's great..."

During the casual chat with Seele, after completely confirming that Mei was fine, Shirley stood up again with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.

(Should I bring Mei back to ME Club...? This is such a headache. This is the safest way to do it, but it will disrupt the world line. What about Kiana? Should I go to Saint Freya alone? But if I bring them back together, what will Kiana say... As expected, although I feel a little sorry for Raiden Ryoma, it is better to let Theresa take them in...)

Imagining the consequences of dragging "Kiana" and Mei into the anti-entropy, Shirley couldn't help but shook her head with a headache.

That was obviously not appropriate. I had just returned and hadn't said hello to Tesla and Kiana yet. I was going to bring someone with a mysterious identity back. The atmosphere of the originally touching farewell might become strange... In addition, I always felt that I had forgotten something.

what thing?

Seeing that Shirley was thinking seriously about something, Xier stood aside obediently and stopped talking. Even though she had mastered powerful power, she was only a fourteen-year-old child.

At this time, Shilis glanced at Ji Zi who was lying beside her. Looking at the scarred body under the woman's damaged armor and the stigmata flashing slightly on the upper part of her plump chest, she sneered and walked slowly towards her.

(Hmm... I'm a little disappointed. Aunt Jizi, although I can understand your actions, your waiting almost indirectly harmed my friend and forced me to spend so much effort... From the results, it seems that it was just a close call, but I'm very unhappy. Although I won't kill you or peel off the stigmata, at least I should let go of my anger...)

As she thought silently, a sly smile appeared on Shilis's face. She slowly leaned over and stretched out her hand towards Jizi's chest. A small amount of Honkai energy turned into a fire of disease, condensed at her fingertips, and pressed on Jizi's chest.

laugh......

The pain of the high temperature burning her skin made the unconscious Jizi frown slightly, but Shirley didn't care about it. She placed her fingers on the exposed upper part of Jizi's left chest and slid them slightly. Soon, a regular script "正" was branded on Jizi's chest. Shirley withdrew her hand and admired the calligraphy she left with a smile.

"I'm done. Hehehe... I'll let you wear such a cheap low-cut dress again! How annoying! What's the point of showing off such a cumbersome thing? Besides, this may help you become a little more decent, so thank me. In addition, the scars left by the flames of the Holy Fire Judgement can only be repaired by the power of creation~"

While talking to herself, Shirley nodded in satisfaction. Beside her, Xier looked at Shirley's behavior with a puzzled look on her face, and walked forward with some confusion.

"Sister Shilis...what are you doing? What does this symbol mean?"
