K424 of the Collapse World

Not far away, looking at the black-clad girl standing proudly on the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite, Theresa was still immersed in the shock of what she had just seen. She never expected that this Anti-Entropy Organization agent she met by chance would have such a powerful strength, at least enough to far surpass herself with bare hands.

(At least, I got my life back...? I fell into the hands of that Herrscher again, and I was poisoned again. I have no strength left...)

Enduring the pain of the poison, Theresa's mind slowly calmed down. Since the Herrscher has been defeated, the other party will come to find her soon. The girl was able to save her before, which means she must have a way to detoxify. Although I am embarrassed to say it, I can only ask her for help later...

Theresa bit her lip lightly as she thought about it. However, as a cherry-pink figure appeared in her sight, the peace in Theresa's heart was broken again, and her blue eyes turned into panic.

"What...what do you want to do?"

She almost forgot that there was another Pseudo-Hermaphrodite at the scene! Before she saw her take action, Theresa subconsciously forgot about her existence.

Looking at the cherry-haired girl who was slowly approaching her, Theresa gritted her teeth and glared at her.

"Don't come over here! I... I'm very powerful! If you dare to come over here again, I'll use Judas to crush you...!"

The threat had no effect at all. The cherry-haired girl walked to Theresa without stopping and slowly bent down.

In response, Theresa laughed miserably and closed her eyes resigned to her fate.

"It seems that I can't escape in the end... Kill me, Herrscher. If you want to use me to threaten that lady, I advise you not to waste your energy. We are not companions at all..."

Theresa said, since she had no power to resist now, she let the other person get closer to her. The next moment, a pair of soft hands slowly hugged her neck and gently picked her up.

"Eh?"

Theresa opened her eyes

, what came into view was the gentle face of a cherry-haired girl. In her indigo eyes, which were as clear as a spring, there was no trace of the violence of a Honkai creature, only gentleness and tranquility...

"That golden cross, is it yours?"

Yaezakura sat on the ground, holding Theresa in her arms, raised her hand and pointed at the Oath of Judas standing not far away, and asked Theresa softly.

"Ah? Yes, yes..."

Being treated so gently by the Herrscher who was supposed to be her enemy, Theresa responded somewhat bewilderedly, with a slightly unnatural blush on her face.

"I see... Can you tell me who gave it to you?"

"It's my grandpa... um..."

Theresa whispered softly. She didn't know why, but she answered the other person's question subconsciously. For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity from this cherry-haired girl, as if she had seen a scene in a dream before...

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing the slightly anxious voice of the cherry-haired girl, Theresa suddenly realized that under the further erosion of the toxin, her consciousness was slowly falling into darkness, and her brain was becoming more and more dizzy...

"I......"

"She was poisoned and is close to death."

Suddenly, another voice came from not far away. Yae Sakura turned around and saw the black-clothed girl who was suppressing the two Pseudo-Herserkers turned her head and spoke to her.

"Ms. Yaezakura, do you want to make a deal with me?"

"Who are you...and why do you know my name?"

"That's not important. I also know that the person you are looking for is a girl named Kallen Kaslana."

"..."

Hearing this, Yaezakura fell into a brief silence. Looking at the silver-haired girl in her arms with a painful expression, she exhaled, looked up at the strange girl in black, and was about to say something when her pupils shrank slightly.

"careful!"

The moment Yaezakura spoke, a vine quickly attacked the girl's back. In response, Shirley didn't even look at it, and her right hand wearing the arm armor grabbed the vine that swept across in mid-air. But the next moment, Asakura Miyuki, who was stepped on by her, suddenly roared, and took advantage of Shirley's sideways flaw to swing her arms. Her dark claws suddenly lit up with red and ice-blue light respectively. With the blessing of the special Honkai energy, her attack became extremely sharp. In response, Shirley's eyes moved, and she immediately jumped back to avoid the opponent's claw attack.

Turning nimbly in the air, Shiris fell back to the ground and retreated to the side of Yae Sakura and Theresa. She looked at the two Pseudo-Herserkers who were out of control, with a nonchalant smile on her face.

"I was still wondering when you were going to make your move... I didn't expect you to have a trick up your sleeve..."

Looking at Asakura Miyuki's claws, which were filled with fire and ice respectively, Shiris lowered her head slightly, looked at the few ice chips piercing the hem of her clothes, chuckled, and raised the super-electromagnetic hand cannon in her left hand again, pointing it at the two enemies in the distance.

"Tsk tsk... I thought you were a serval, but it turns out you're a ruins guardian? It's still a little different though. For example... cat ears?"

Although Asakura Miyuki didn't quite understand what Shilis said, she didn't dare to let down her guard in the face of this powerful human. She had never seen those high-tech weapons before, so she couldn't come up with a plan to deal with them. She didn't even know how much strength the other party had used in his previous attack...

Although Asakura Miyuki still had some concerns, Yuno would not be so calm. The lower body that was broken by the electromagnetic cannon was restored again under the transformation of Honkai energy. She stood up immediately, and the previous crazy killing intent appeared on her face again.

276 What Theresa Saw >>

She hadn't yet felt the obvious difference in strength, and this level of injury was not enough to make her retreat, but would only make her even more violent.

"Very good...! Human, you are dead! Just watch... I am going to kill you in the most cruel way possible!"

As she spoke angrily, more vines spread out from behind her, waving violently, leaving deep grooves on the ground. Asakura Miyuki, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped back, away from the frantic Yuno, to avoid being accidentally hurt by her.

Seeing two vines rushing towards her again, Shilis's eyes moved, and the six metal blades surrounding Theresa and Yae Sakura flew in front of her, spliced ​​into a hexagonal metal shield, and released a super electromagnetic field to block the attacking vines head-on.

"As for the vines... they feel a bit like tentacles? You just said that you would use the most cruel means... Hey! Are all you Herrschers so good at playing?"

Covering her lips with her hand, Shirley pretended to be shocked and said. Not only was the content full of hints, but her playful tone, to Yuno, it sounded like an undisguised mockery!

"Shameless human...die!

"

As she spoke in anger, large vines burst out from behind her, all extending forward and stabbing at Shiris on the opposite side. In response, the six shield-shaped metal blades suddenly unfolded again, spinning at high speed under the traction of the electromagnetic field, cutting off all the densely attacking vines!

Shirley reached around her waist and found a small syringe in her hand. Without even turning her head, she threw the syringe to Yaezakura behind her.

"This is......?"

"The high-energy biological therapeutic agent should be able to remove the toxins in Theresa's body. Even if it can't be eradicated immediately, it should be no problem to save her life for the time being."

As Shilis spoke, she suddenly turned sideways and dodged an ice-blue claw that was attacking her. She quickly turned her hand to grab the attacker's wrist and smashed the other's neck with the handle of the gun in her left hand!

--Ding!

The gun body flashing with arcs was blocked by the sharp claws burning with flames. Asakura Miyuki stared at Shirley with a serious face, and was about to increase the output of the Flame Claws' Honkai Energy to destroy the opponent's dangerous gun. But the next moment, a translucent spherical barrier suddenly spread out from Shirley's body and pushed Asakura Miyuki away!

The moment her left hand was freed, Shilis raised her hand and fired a shot. The super-electromagnetic hand cannon roared again! In this regard, Asakura Miyuki only had time to protect her head with her claws before she was blasted away by the violent blue arc of light. The beautiful girl's body was instantly riddled with holes.

"Excuse me, I don't want to fight in close combat with the Claw Warriors who are specialized in fighting."

Shiris smiled and turned her eyes to Yuno who was still attacking. After receiving the command, the six metal blades swung forward, protecting the girl behind them and approaching Yuno...

Behind Shirley, Yaezakura looked at the blue syringe in her hand, hesitated for a moment, then stabbed it into the silver-haired girl in her arms, slowly pushing the liquid into her body.

Facing the girl who was fighting the Pseudo-Herserker, Yae Sakura had a strange feeling. Just like Theresa in her arms, the girl also had a familiar and familiar aura, like Kallen, and seemed to have some similarities with the creature in her body...

Thinking of this, Yaezakura's mind moved, and she sank her consciousness deep into her mind, contacting a certain existence in her stigmata space.

(Hey, can you hear me? Help me see if you have any impression of that girl in black...)

·————————————·

Standing under the protection of the super electromagnetic field, Shiris calmly raised the pistol in her hand towards Yuno. She changed the scattering mode of the super electromagnetic hand cannon to the cluster mode, and after using the biochip for auxiliary aiming, she locked Yuno's head. As long as she pulled the trigger, she would fire a super electromagnetic cannon comparable to that of a certain No. 3 in Academy City. At this distance, Yuno would definitely die!

However, before that, a sudden attack broke Shiris's lock, and the bright blue-white beam shot out from the muzzle, just brushing Yuno's shoulder and destroying a bunch of vines, and blasting a big hole in the wall behind.

Shirley held a blazing red arrow in her right hand and turned to look at a place not far from her. Asakura Miyuki sat on the ground in a daze, her claws had returned to their normal shape. But in her left hand, she held a longbow burning with fire, and at this moment, she was bending the bow and aiming the arrow in her direction...

"You actually have the ability of a fire bow? I am really becoming more and more interested in you... Miss, this is probably your unique power as a pseudo-herrscher, right?"

Shirley said with a hint of surprise, but her movements were not slow at all. She crushed the arrow in her hand and aimed her right hand with the arm armor at Asakura Miyuki. But before the star ring vortex was activated, another flaming arrow flew in front of her in an instant, hit the surface of the energy barrier that popped up automatically, and exploded.

Although the arrow did not hurt Shirley, the impact of the violent explosion on the barrier made her panic, and the lock of the Star Ring Vortex also lost its accuracy, failing to drag the opponent over. Asakura Miyuki just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly found that Shirley was still driving the arm armor, with an incomprehensible smile on the corner of her mouth...

Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, Asakura Miyuki was hit hard on the back before she could do anything! A heavy piece of reinforced concrete was pulled over by the Star Ring Vortex by Shirley and hit Asakura Miyuki's back hard, knocking her directly to the ground and rolling uncontrollably in front of Shirley.

"Um... cough cough..."

Asakura Miyuki raised her head in a daze and saw the blurry figure in black and the dark blue heavy pistol in her hand...

Looking at the gun muzzle flashing with electric light, Asakura Miyuki's expression became terrified.

"Bye~ I hope you can be a good person in your next life."

“No, don’t…!”

- Om!

A vine suddenly broke through the defense of the rotating blade and stabbed straight at the man standing there, 3,8!

:.9;? The grounded Shilisi crashed into the cracked energy barrier. With the flash of lightning, ripples were caused. The next moment, the huge force of the vines directly broke through the barrier and pierced the girl's head!

Silis tilted her head slightly without changing her expression, avoiding the vines that were piercing her. However, her loose hood was pierced by the vines that passed through at high speed, and then her coat was torn!

"Eh?!"

Shirley obviously didn't expect this to happen, and she was slightly startled. Asakura Miyuki seized this opportunity, and her hands once again transformed into red and blue claws, bursting out with all her strength to swing two intersecting claw marks in the air, slashing at the girl in front of her...

She reacted in a flash, raised her right arm to push away Asakura Miyuki's ice claws, then turned around and jumped back to avoid the attack of the flaming claws. Her movements were as precise and fast as a precision machine, without any unnecessary movements, and she performed every tactical move to perfection. But even so, Asakura Miyuki's movements were not slower than hers. A flash of red light passed by, and one side of Shirley's clothes was torn by the flaming red claws, and then turned into ashes under the high temperature...

Once again, she was forced back by two pseudo-herrschers, but Shiris did not panic at all. She just covered her torn hood and looked at her windbreaker, which had been burned for more than half, with some frustration.

"I forgot... I wore a coat over my combat uniform. If I use the human outline avoidance method, it will definitely damage the clothes..."

Shirley sighed and took off the coat that could not be restored, revealing the coat's metal-textured precision body armor. As she took off the coat, the silver-white hair that was hidden in the hood fell down, shining like stars in the sun...

At this time, under the effect of the treatment agent, Theresa, who had regained consciousness, suddenly widened her eyes and looked ahead in disbelief. She even subconsciously ignored Yaezakura beside her. The only thing left in her eyes was the back of the figure with silver-white hair...

“Hey! You, are you…?!”

277 Let’s Get Serious

Looking at the figure with silver-white hair floating in front of her, Theresa forgot to breathe.

In Theresa's memory, only one person had such pure and holy silver-white hair.

It was not as white as Siegfried's, nor as pure silver as Cecilia's. Instead, it was a mixture of the two, a silvery white like moonlight...

Kiana Kaslana, the daughter of Cecilia and Siegfried, and her own niece......

However, Theresa had only seen this color of hair not long ago. It was a clone of Kiana, Clone K423. Even though she was not the real Kiana, she was no different from the real Kiana. Therefore, Theresa subconsciously regarded her as the real Kiana, and as if to atone for her own self-satisfaction, she treated her with care and love as if she were the real Kiana...

However, during the time when she thought of K423 as Kiana, Theresa had never thought about what kind of expression she should use when facing the real Kiana. And now, she will soon regret her short-sightedness.

Although Theresa had not seen the true face of the anti-entropy girl who saved her, her familiar voice and the familiar face under the goggles gave Theresa a premonition. But now, seeing the iconic silver-white long hair, her heart was suddenly filled with huge waves...

(Is it really you...! Kiana? But why would you...)

The real Kiana is imprisoned by Otto, which is why Theresa still stays in the Destiny Organization. However, if the girl in front of her is really Kiana, then how did she escape from Otto and why did she join the Anti-Entropy Organization?

Thinking of this, Theresa shuddered, and some terrible conjectures came to her mind, such as destiny and anti-entropy going to war without her knowledge. But since there was no basis, these unrealistic conjectures were quickly ruled out by her.

Turning her gaze to the silver-haired girl with her back to her, Theresa's eyes became more serious.

"Please answer me! Are you...really Kiana?"

Following Theresa's voice, the silver-haired girl in front slowly turned around. The next moment, the large eyepiece covering the upper half of her face returned to the quantized state, turning into a piece of light particles that slowly drifted away, revealing the deep blue eyes underneath...

"Who do you think I am? Lady Theresa."

The girl said with a smile, a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes. After seeing the girl's true appearance, Theresa couldn't help but gasp and instantly forgot to breathe. The expression on her face changed several times, from surprise, to joy, to guilt... Looking at the indifferent and faint smile on the silver-haired girl's face, Theresa's expression became more and more complicated.

"It's really you! Kiana...I..."

Having confirmed the girl's identity, Theresa's surprise cooled down and she stammered,

Slowly lowering her head, she had never thought that she would meet the real Kiana at this time, so she had no idea what kind of expression she should use to face her niece...

"Kiana, why... did you join Anti-Entropy? What on earth have you been through?"

"Because Anti-Entropy saved me, Lady Theresa. Also... could you please stop calling me by that name?"

"Why? Aren't you Qia..."

"I'm not Kiana, that name doesn't belong to me."

The silver-haired girl shook her head and looked at Theresa calmly. Theresa's dull expression was reflected in her eyes. Apart from that, nothing else could be seen in her eyes, as if she was facing a stranger...

(What do you mean? That name doesn’t belong to her…? It doesn’t belong to her… Could it be…!)

Suddenly realizing something, Theresa was struck by lightning, her legs softened, and she knelt on the ground. The next moment, her eyes fluctuated, and she looked at the girl in front of her with guilt...

"So... you know everything, Kiana..."

He accepted the clone K423 and acknowledged K423's identity as Kiana Kaslana. If the real Kiana knew about this, how would she feel?

How does it feel to have your identity replaced by another person, and even your name given to someone else by your loved ones?

"Know what? Is it that you took in K423 and the Third Herrscher, or that you had no idea of ​​Siegfried's whereabouts, but lied to her about what you knew?"

The girl spoke again, and Theresa's pupils shrank again when she heard her words.

(As expected! She knows everything...! Kiana, she must think that I took away her name by accepting K423...)
