K424 of the Collapse World

"No problem at all!"

Tesla gave up the idea of ​​stopping her when he saw the silver-haired girl with glowing eyes. Seeing that his companions had acquiesced, Einstein nodded.

"Then... as you wish, Ms. Shilis. Collecting data in actual combat is much better than using a simulator. However, if you set off for the source of the Honkai wave now, you may not have time to familiarize yourself with your own weapons."

"It doesn't matter. Since my lance still operates the same way as before, there's no need to worry about anything!"

"I guess so... The source of the collapse is in the city, probably near Qianyu Academy."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Shilis was slightly startled. But the next moment, a hint of amusement appeared in her slightly narrowed blue eyes.

(Chiyu Academy? Emmmm... maybe I can catch up with something interesting? However, the reaction of multiple powerful Honkai creatures is a bit worrying... Is it the influence of the butterfly effect?)

274 Look what I found

In front of the metal barrier outside the ME company, the fully armed silver-haired girl called up a light screen, took a deep breath, and a serious expression appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

The news that high-intensity Honkai energy was detected in the city was reported on the terminals of all senior staff of ME Company, including Kiana. In fact, before the detection report arrived, she had a vague feeling that some special existence appeared in Changkong City.

.....

The building of the me company is located in Changkong City where the Honkai broke out. If the powerful Honkai creatures that appear are not dealt with immediately, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble later. Therefore, Kiana prepared for the battle in advance. Now, after reporting via communication, she will go directly to the place where the Honkai was detected and kill those strange Honkai creatures.

"Regarding the Houkai energy reaction just discovered, it is speculated that the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite has evolved. We must take action immediately... Kiana Kaslana, request to attack!"

"The request is rejected, Ms. Kiana. We have already sent the right person to investigate the Honkai wave."

"???"

Hearing the answer from the communicator, Kiana was stunned and paused in her action of climbing over the wall.

"The right person? Who is it? The strength of the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite should not be underestimated. It would be safest for me to handle this powerful Honkai creature."

"Don't worry, Princess Kiana... Ahem, Miss Kiana. With the authorization of Lord Einstein and Lord Tesla, Miss Shiris has already been dispatched, so let them deal with the Honkai creatures."

"Sister Shilis? Wait! She only has one tenth of her remaining strength and is currently undergoing treatment surgery. How can she fight against the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite?!"

Surprised, Kiana didn't even care about the strange name the communicator called her, and hurriedly exclaimed. In her recent impression, Shirley was completely a sickly girl. Let her fight the Pseudo-Herrscher in that state? What a joke...

"About this, because this is the authorization of the two executors, so I am not too sure... But Miss Kiana, I think you don't have to worry. Let's not talk about Lord Tesla, Lord Einstein will definitely not do anything thoughtless, so..."

"Qiana, you really don't have to do anything."

Suddenly, the light screen in front of Kiana popped up, and a girl with red twin ponytails appeared on the screen.

"Don't worry, Shirley's treatment is over. This is considered her rehabilitation exercise and also a data collection. Kiana, you just need to stay on standby. I promise that Shirley will not be in danger."

"...Is that so? But Dr. Tesla, I can sense that you seem to be hiding something?"

"That's true... But in short, you don't have to worry about this, Kiana. This is Shirley's own plan. If you are really worried, I will synchronize the tracking data with you. Is that enough?"

"Okay, Dr. Tesla, I am willing to believe you and Sister Shirley. That's right... no matter what, Sister Shirley will not easily lose to a mere Pseudo-Hermaphrodite... But, the insurance work should be done a little better, right? Dr. Tesla..."

Changkong City Center...

In the ruined city, the glorious civilization of the past has been destroyed by the collapse. Inside the steel forest-like high-rise buildings, there is only a dead silence. Since the collapse, this scene has become a daily routine in Changkong City.

But on this day, something different happened in this crumbling city...

On the cracked and gravel-covered road, fresh bloodstains on the ground formed a twisted line that ran through the entire street. At the end of the bloodstains, a blood-stained silver-haired girl covered her arm with her other hand and staggered forward.

"Ha ha......"

She gasped weakly, her dignified and gorgeous nun's clothes became tattered, full of holes and nicks, and her veil was nowhere to be found. Under her torn clothes, several hideous huge scars were imprinted on the surface of her fair skin, and the deep wounds that could see the bone spanned from her chest to her waist, and were still bleeding...

"Damn it... I was too arrogant. I was careless when dealing with two Pseudo-Hermits at the same time..."

Theresa muttered to herself, looked at her arm which was bleeding, smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Normally, this level of injury would be completely healed within a few seconds without leaving any scars. But this time, her perfect recovery ability was useless. In order to suppress the Honkai toxins in her body, she could no longer draw out any extra energy to repair the wound. If she relaxed a little, the special toxins synthesized by Honkai would be enough to kill her instantly.

"Use?, Honkai can control vines, and there is actually a pseudo-herrscher... I really learned something new. But the other guy, who obviously has a clear self-awareness, actively obeys Honkai's will? I don't know why they gave up the pursuit, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it so easily... Ugh!"

It felt like she had hit a rock under her feet.

Sha lost her balance and fell to the ground helplessly. When she fell to the ground, she accidentally pressed on the wound on her body. She couldn't help but groan, and her petite body convulsed and curled up into a small ball.

"Huh... Ha... This is a hopeless situation. Not only did I lose Judas, but I was also seriously injured. If I can't get effective treatment, I might really have to go see Cecilia... But it's not time to give up yet..."

Panting heavily, Theresa struggled to get up, shook her dizzy head, and stumbled forward. Although she didn't know what was ahead, she knew that there was a strong enemy behind her, so she could only keep moving forward.

Theresa bit her lip. She knew very well that in her extremely weak state, even the lowest-level assassins would be enough to kill her.

As time went by, the pain from the wound gradually faded. In her increasingly blurred vision, the broken buildings and broken streets had been twisted into strange shapes, and everything was covered with a layer of haze...

(Sure enough, it still doesn’t work. I’m sorry... Cecilia, I may not be able to fulfill the promise... I’m really sorry, I didn’t even protect your daughter Kiana, and she died so irresponsibly. I’m afraid you won’t forgive me...)

Half-conscious, Theresa didn't know how far she had walked, but in the end, her severely injured body had reached its limit. She leaned forward involuntarily, but she no longer had the strength to adjust her balance, so she let herself fall down...

However, Theresa, who was ready to fall face down on the ground and eat a mouthful of dirt, suddenly felt that she was not falling, but was supported by something.

"Hey! Look what I found? A seriously injured wild loli~~"

(This voice... is human?!)

As the girl's voice rang in her ears, Theresa's chaotic mind suddenly became clear! She tried to open her eyes, looked at the blurry figure that appeared beside her, and used all her remaining strength to slightly open her mouth...

"Please...save me..."

A faint murmur like a mosquito came from her slightly opened mouth. She was ready to face death, but the moment she saw the figure in front of her, the light of hope reappeared in Theresa's eyes.

That's right, she couldn't die now! Before rescuing Kiana, she didn't have the face to see Cecilia...

In a fuzzy state, Theresa vaguely felt her body being laid flat, and a slightly rough hand pressed on her chest. Then, the familiar girl's voice once again reached her ears.

"Oh...? It's actually a toxin simulated by Honkai energy? Honkai energy can be used like this, it's unbelievable. It's not a big deal... But let's deal with these fatal external injuries first, it looks so pitiful..."

At this time, the girl stopped talking. The next moment, Theresa suddenly felt a warm current flowing into her body along the palm of the hand. The wound area that had lost sensation regained its feeling, but the pain gradually disappeared. At the same time, the haziness in her brain also disappeared, and her thinking became clear.

In just a moment, Theresa felt that the deadly Honkai energy toxin that had been like a maggot in her tarsal bones had completely disappeared. Moreover, the wounds on her body no longer hurt, and her body seemed to have completely recovered...

(What did she do! Is it some highly effective healing potion? Wait... this method of healing is so familiar...)

274 Look what I found >>

"Um... okay, you're fine now, probably."

When Theresa heard the girl's voice again, her eyelids trembled. After her train of thought was interrupted, she immediately opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice. She wanted to take a good look at what her savior looked like.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing that caught Theresa's eyes was a black long windbreaker, metal boots and belt with a strong sense of technology. Then, she saw the exquisite female figure. The thin layer of armor under the coat was close to her skin, outlining her beautiful body curves.

(Anti-Honkai high-energy nanofibers... the material of the third-generation Valkyrie armor!)

The girl's right hand was covered with a sophisticated metal arm armor, which extended all the way to her shoulder. The metal armor, which was extremely detailed, had a unique mechanical beauty. Looking at this arm armor, Theresa couldn't help but think of her own exclusive Moonlight Armor. If she hadn't been so arrogant and had worn the Valkyrie Armor properly, she probably wouldn't have ended up like this...

A feeling of regret flashed through her mind, and Theresa once again focused her attention on the girl in front of her. The girl's head was covered by the hood of her coat, and she was wearing a large eyepiece on her face, covering her eyes and most of her cheeks. Only a small part of her face and her pink lips could be seen. For some reason, this appearance suddenly gave Theresa a familiar feeling...

Cover with her

Her left arm was not covered with armor, while her right arm was covered with armor. When Theresa looked at her, the girl was putting on the thin tactical gloves. Theresa remembered the feeling of the other person's hand on her body. Although it was rough, it was indeed the feeling of the flesh without gloves.

Touching her ragged body, Theresa smiled bitterly and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the person who saved her was not a man, otherwise the situation might have become very embarrassing.

Suddenly seeing a few strands of silver hair under the other person's hood, Theresa was slightly stunned. She looked at the pink lips of the girl in front of her again, and the other person's appearance gradually connected with a certain image in her mind...

But the next moment, before she could figure out the source of this similarity, the girl's lips slightly raised. Theresa immediately came back to her senses from her deep thoughts. Even though she couldn't see the girl's eyes under the cover of the eyepiece, she could feel that she was looking at her. In this case, if she continued to stare at her without saying a word, it would be a bit rude...

"Um...thank you for saving me, I..."

She immediately lowered her head and retracted her gaze, moving her sight from the girl's head to her body. Just as Theresa was about to say something, her pupils suddenly contracted! She suddenly noticed that there was a small "∞" pattern printed on the side of the girl's metal belt.

This symbol of infinity, in Theresa's impression, is the symbol of a hostile organization...

Reverse entropy!

Seeing this, Theresa suddenly realized. The only people who can possess such high-tech equipment and operate in the Honkai outbreak area are members of the same anti-Honkai organization... This girl is an anti-entropy person!

(Anti-entropy prevents... Although we have worked together, we are still enemies of destiny in essence! So...)

Although she thought a lot, in the eyes of the girl, Theresa was only stunned for a moment. The next moment, as if a switch was turned on, Theresa's previously tender but resolute little face was instantly filled with weakness and grievance, and mist fluctuated in her big blue eyes, and tears seemed to burst out in the next moment...

"I... I am a nun from the Changkong City Catholic Church. Woo... Thank you so much, big sister... If it weren't for you, I would have been killed like the bishop uncle... Woo... Big sister, you are really a good person, God will definitely bless you..."

Theresa knelt on the ground, wiping her eyes and sobbing as she kept thanking the girl. On the other side, facing Theresa's miserable cry, the anti-entropy girl was silent for a moment, the corners of her mouth slightly raised for a moment, then she leaned over and gently touched Theresa's head.

"What a poor child... Don't worry, dear, everything is fine now."

The girl's low voice sounded again, becoming more gentle than before. Theresa was happy in her heart, but her face was still full of sadness and fear. She thought for a moment, then raised her head, and looked at the girl in front of her with a pair of big tearful eyes.

"Thank you, big sister... I'm really sorry, can I ask you for one more favor? Actually, I accidentally lost my cross... It was given to me by my grandfather, and it's very important to me, wuwu... big sister... can you, help me?"

In response to Theresa's crying, the girl pinched her chin, thought about it, then smiled and nodded.

"...I understand. Don't cry, little girl. Lead the way. I will help you."

As expected, she got the help of the girl, but Theresa still felt a little guilty for taking advantage of her savior. However, she quickly adjusted her mindset. As long as she found Judas and got serious, she would definitely be able to defeat the two pseudo-hersrists and would not let the girl get hurt at all!

In the ruins of Qianyu Academy, countless vines were scattered on the ground around them. The few parts that were cut off did not flow out the juice that plants should have, but purple liquid collapse energy...

In the densest part of the vines, a humanoid creature that looked like a young girl stood surrounded by the vines. These vines generated by the Honkai energy were extending from her body.

At this moment, the girl in the vines looked forward solemnly. Next to her, another girl in uniform stood shoulder to shoulder with her. This girl also retained her human form, but her hands had turned into black claws, with dark purple Honkai energy lines flowing on the surface. Obviously, she, like the girl next to her, was a special Honkai creature called a Pseudo-Herrscher.

On the other side, being watched by two powerful pseudo-herrschers, was a tall figure in a miko costume. It was a girl with long cherry-colored hair, a katana hanging from her waist, and a fox-shaped mask. The most unique thing about her was the pair of long cherry-colored ears on her head.

The cherry-haired girl stood with her back to the two assassins in front of a golden cross standing on the ground, raising her hand and gently stroking the surface of the cross.

, lips moved slightly.

"This is... yes, this is hers..."

She slowly turned around, looked at the two Pseudo-Herrs who were facing a formidable enemy, and took a step forward.

"Where is the owner of this cross?"

"..."

The two Pseudo-Herskers did not respond to the cherry-haired girl's question, but only strengthened their vigilance again. In fact, both Asakura Miyuki and Yuno, who had just awakened, could feel that the woman with long ears in front of them was a Houkai creature like them, and also a Pseudo-Hersker bound by obsession, and... more powerful than them.

This woman who appeared out of nowhere blocked their pursuit of the ignorant kid and asked some inexplicable questions...

Asakura Miyuki's eyes moved slightly, and she exchanged glances with Yuno who was controlling the vines beside her, and then made a decision. The Pseudo-Herrscher has its own consciousness, and does not act on instinct like ordinary Honkai beasts. Therefore, the Pseudo-Herrschers may not be friendly with each other.

However, when facing a common enemy, Asakura Miyuki didn't mind joining forces with her peers. The long-eared, cherry-haired woman gave her a strange sense of crisis. Moreover, the other party was obviously hostile to the two of them, and based on this, a fight was inevitable...

(I can’t die easily before I find her! The only girl who cared about me and saved me… I must find her!!)

"The owner of the cross? Hehe~~ She was poisoned by Yuno, and I ripped open her stomach. I'm afraid she's dead... What, is she someone you know?"

Hearing Asakura Miyuki's sneer, the cherry-haired girl's eyes widened slightly. The next moment, she frowned slightly and shook her head in denial. Just as she was about to say something else, the two Pseudo-Herrs suddenly attacked...

"Idiot! Go find her in hell!"

Following Asakura Miyuki's violent roar, the two Herrschers launched their attack at the same time! But on the other side, facing the whistling sharp vines, the cherry-haired girl just took a step sideways and tightened her grip on the hilt of the knife at her waist...

"Sakura...scatter!"

275 Show of Strength

Wood is often made into tools and even weapons by humans due to its considerable hardness, but vines, as a bendable and soft woody plant, are obviously not suitable for use as weapons. However, after its components have been reshaped by Honkai energy, this is no longer a problem.

The Herrscher of Honkai can rewrite the rules of the world with the power of Honkai, and the secondary Pseudo-Herrscher, who also control the power of Honkai, can also do this to a certain extent.

Therefore, after mastering her own power, Yuno can not only make these vines dance as softly as water snakes, but also make them as hard as steel in an instant! She can even evolve again and become a being closer to a Herrscher...

"Who gave you the confidence to face two of us Herrschers at the same time?!"

Under the pull of some force, these vines thrust forward. However, a flash of knife light passed by in a flash, and they were shattered in mid-air, turning into fragmented debris that dissipated.

"Asshole...! What happened to that little girl just now is what will happen to you next!"

Seeing the cherry-haired girl who easily broke her attack but remained calm, Yuno felt a nameless fire rising quietly. She launched an attack with all her strength, but was underestimated by her opponent. The unexpected situation made her already unstable emotions out of control...

After Yuno's attack failed, Asakura Miyuki flashed in front of the cherry-haired girl with a sound of breaking wind. She raised her hand and slashed across with her claws that had been transformed by Honkai energy, aiming directly at the opponent's neck. As expected, the cherry-haired girl blocked this attack with her sword, but this was just the beginning of Asakura Miyuki's attack.

"I got you~!"

The continuous swinging of the palms and the gorgeous sword dance intertwined together. In just a blink of an eye, the black claws and the sword had clashed no less than ten times! During the sword dance, the air torn by the sharp blade turned into a mist, leaving scratches on the asphalt ground...

“Mm…!”

With a short cry of pain, Asakura Miyuki took the lead in retreating and creating some distance. Looking at her own claws, which were covered with pits, she widened her eyes in surprise, and looked at the girl with doubt in her eyes.

"How is this possible! How could the gap be so huge?! Who are you? With this level of power...how could you be a Pseudo-Hermitor like us?!"

"I am Yaezakura, just a wandering soul..."
