K424 of the Collapse World

"Do you think I will let you escape? k424..."

————!!

Shirley's pupils dilated instantly. The moment the devil's whispers rang in her ears, the biochip directly released the energy of the exoskeleton armor to a critical value. The next moment, her actions reacted before her thoughts...

He twisted his body while leaping forward, and when his toes touched the ground, the star ring vortex on his right fist was fully charged, and a heavy punch was blasted behind him as his waist twisted.

With the help of the mechanical exoskeleton, she also achieved triple acceleration in this swinging punch, breaking the sound barrier the moment it was swung out. The knuckles of the arm armor instantly turned blazing white. The girl's fist was wrapped in layers of wind pressure and fell on the head of a petite figure with great force...

Undoubtedly, with the help of the repulsive field of the star ring vortex, the girl's attack, which reached several times the speed of sound, was enough to smash most solids with a hardness lower than soul steel. As for the weak body tissues of humans, I'm afraid not even a trace of residue would be left.

Of course, only ordinary humans.

A hexagonal shield made of purple crystals quietly appeared on the trajectory of the punch, but was shattered by the girl's fist like fragile glass, without even a sound. However, taking advantage of the pause in the punch, a small hand quickly raised up and directly grasped Shirley's right fist...

--boom! !

The next moment, the sound of air being torn apart at high speed was accompanied by a dull crash! In the roaring gale, the girl's palm was directly shattered by the rotating vortex energy, and her skin and muscles were torn apart, revealing the white bones. Her delicate arms were also twisted to a strange extent by the huge force, and the crisp sound of broken bones rang out one after another. Obviously, with the physical strength of the pseudo-herrscher level, she still couldn't withstand the full force of Shirley.

However, that was all. Although her left arm was completely bloody, the girl still had the same sneer on her face. Shirley's fist stopped less than ten centimeters in front of the girl. The palm, which was crushed by the energy of the star ring vortex to only a few finger bones, still stubbornly resisted her fist. The next moment, in the quietly lit white light, the broken arm quickly recovered, the wounds all over the arm disappeared, the broken palm also recovered quickly, the new flesh and blood covered the hand bones, and as the skin that was also generated quickly emerged, her left arm had already recovered as before...

"What a weak attack... Hehe, could it be that this is your full strength?"

"..."

"This guy who pretends to be so pretentious is really disgusting..."

As she spoke, the girl's eyes widened slightly, and she raised her right hand suddenly, and a purple light swept across like lightning! Silis, who had been prepared, bent her knees slightly and jumped back to avoid the attack.

"Hehe...it seems that you have become weaker than I thought...k424, if you only know those monkey tricks now, it would be very disappointing..."

Holding the purple crystal spear in his hand, Latil looked at the silver-haired girl who was in a fighting stance with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Since you can run so fast, let's start with your legs... Don't worry, as long as you don't move, I will cut out a beautiful cross section..."

Hearing this, Shilis sighed and looked at the crazy girl in front of her calmly. There was no tension and fear in her eyes as Latier expected, only an elusive calmness...

"What a bad taste... I'm sorry, I don't have time to play with you now..."

Shirley raised her hand, and the black lance that had finally completed the quantization release appeared in her hand. She smashed the huge thing to the ground, and while talking, she activated the built-in energy of the lance...

"Hehe...you think this is nonsense?"

"What else? You chased him all the way for no reason, as if you had some deep hatred, or are you just enjoying the process of fighting? Ridiculous guy..."

At this point, Shirley tightly gripped the lance handle and released the decomposition current driven by the lance. The next moment, the rock wall under her feet was flashing.

The rocks shattered in the arc of electricity! In Latil's eyes, which instantly became surprised, the seawater gushing out from the broken rocks instantly flooded into the cave...

"you......?"

"This isn't a ruin yet, so doing this won't have any impact... Besides, have you forgotten? This place is a thousand meters deep under the sea... So, what will happen if we destroy this fragile rock wall?"

As Shirley said with a smile, the collapsed rock wall shattered, and the roaring sea swallowed up the two people standing there...

332 The intervention of various forces

Over the Shenzhou Sea, the Hyperion...

In the battleship's bridge, Theresa looked at the location coordinates marked on the map, took a deep breath, and then used the communication to connect to the entire ship's channel.

"Attention all combatants! We have arrived above the target ruins 'Jiuyou'. The airborne troops are ready to start the battle! In addition, a weak Houkai energy reaction has been detected in the sea below. There may be Houkai beasts in the ruins, so please be careful..."

Having said that, Theresa turned her head and looked at the fully armed black-haired girl beside her, and smiled apologetically.

"Well... I'm really sorry, Miss Hill... You were injured just two days ago, and Miss Hillis didn't intend to let you participate in this operation, but I..."

"It's okay~ I'm not that fragile. It's just a temporary lack of Honkai energy, it's not a big problem, and now it's fully recovered... Besides, I should be the one thanking you. If I miss such an interesting thing, it would be a pity..."

Hill patted his chest and said, his blue eyes flashing with vitality. Hill was not a quiet person. After Shiris refused her and Benares to join the team, unlike Benares who listened carefully to orders, Hill went to Theresa and expressed her hope to join the battle. Theresa agreed to Hill's request without much concern. In her opinion, a combat power of the pseudo-herrscher level must be of some use...

But now, after finally recalling the incident with the black-haired girl in front of her, Theresa felt a little embarrassed to face this girl. Her pupils flickered slightly, and she couldn't help biting her lips, with a trace of guilt in her eyes.

"Actually, that... a few years ago on the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, Ms. Shiris told me about it. I... was really sorry... because of a misunderstanding, I almost hurt you..."

"Stop! Miss Principal, have you forgotten that we are in the middle of a battle? Is it really appropriate to bring up these irrelevant things here?"

"S-sorry..."

"Hehe... Don't think I'm so petty. What happened a few years ago was excessive, but everyone had their own stance at that time. I don't intend to cause you any trouble at this time, so don't worry..."

After hearing Hill's serious words, Theresa realized the current situation. She shook her head with a complicated expression. Just as she was about to say something else, Hill's serious voice interrupted her again.

"Please issue combat orders, Commander."

"..."

Looking at Hill's serious expression, Theresa finally sighed, and then returned to her initial appearance of seriously commanding the battle.

"...Ms. Hill, Major Himeko Muliangta's team will carry out the task of searching for the ruins. When Hyperion drops to a low altitude, please attack first and cooperate with other airborne troops to ensure the safety of their landing point and eliminate all the Honkai beasts in this sea area!"

"Understood. Then... Syl-Fleia, attack!"

Looking at the back of the black-haired girl leaving the bridge resolutely, Theresa turned her head with some emotion. Sure enough, under her own teaching philosophy, the Far East Branch's Valkyrie would not have such a capable military temperament...

Patting her cheeks lightly, Theresa forced herself to cheer up and began to carefully arrange the composition of the combat troops.

(Well... I can't be lazy! Although I won't be joining the front line this time, I have no problem commanding small-scale operations...!)

"Lady Theresa! Multiple energy reactions were detected in the northeast of the battleship! According to analysis, it should be some kind of aircraft..."

Suddenly, the anxious voice of the communicator made Theresa stunned. After detecting in the direction the other party said, many blue-black flying objects appeared on the light screen of the command center in front of Theresa...

"This is... the anti-entropy magnetic storm fighter?! Is this the reinforcement that Shiris has called for?"

Recognizing at a glance that these mechanical flying objects were the products of the Anti-Entropy Organization, Theresa asked the communicator in the corner of the light screen with some doubt. However, to her surprise, the communicator on the screen frowned and shook his head.

"Lady Theresa, the electronic signals of these aircraft cannot identify friendly forces. They are not Miss Shiris's troops!"

"What?! Then what on earth are these guys......"

Theresa frowned slightly, and just when she was feeling undecided, a communication request from an unknown source was sent to the combat terminal in front of her.

"This... can actually bypass the firewall and send the communication directly to me?! Who on earth is that guy..."

After a little hesitation, Theresa resolutely connected the communication. Although the identity of the other party was unknown, she didn't have that much time to waste. After all, the Far East Branch's action this time was not approved by the headquarters. However, it was obvious that the operator behind these anti-entropy fighters could not be a member of the Destiny Organization...

"Good day, dear Ms. Theresa. It has been two weeks since we last saw each other, right?"

After agreeing to the communication request, an image popped up on the terminal screen in front of Theresa. Following a familiar voice, Theresa saw the blonde woman on the screen, and her eyes moved slightly, with a hint of provocation in them.

"Oh? I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be the female fox that ran away with her tail between her legs a while ago... Hmph, it hasn't been long since you invaded my Far East branch, and you're planning to take over this ruins again?"

Facing Theresa's explosive voice, the blonde on the other end of the line seemed calm and composed. However, her slightly furrowed brows revealed that she was not in a calm mood at the moment...

"Ms. Theresa, I don't intend to make any excuses about the previous incident. But this time, I must make it clear in advance that the main purpose of our trip is not the ruins of Jiuyou. As long as you are willing to make a deal with me, our troops will leave immediately..."

"Do you think I will believe a vixen? Cocolia! The lies you told this time are really low-level... You brought so many troops here, and you dare to say it's not for the ruins? Are you taking us for fools?"

"hehe......"

Hearing Theresa's sarcasm, Cocolia sneered, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. However, her expression remained unmoved. After confirming that Theresa would not change her mind, she sighed softly, and with a slightly cold gaze, she looked through the communication screen into Theresa's pupils.

"If I can help it, I don't want to clash with you... But now it seems that there is no other way. After the conservatives defected, she must be in your hands... So, as a celebration of rescuing her, let me take the holy relic here...!"

332 Intervention of various forces>>

"Bah! Such arrogant words! But this time, your purpose has finally been exposed, right? Could it be that the remains of Jiuyou belong to your Nien-entropy family? By the way, it's time for us to settle the previous account..."

As Theresa gnashed her teeth, Cocolia's troops finally arrived within the engagement range of the Hyperion! The next moment, a dense barrage of bullets spread across the sea and sky, erupting from the Hyperion's flank close-in weapon system, covering the fighter unit in front.

Under the dense barrage, the magnetic storm fighters at the front of the array turned into fireballs, and the burning wreckage fell into the sea with a trail of black smoke. But more magnetic storm fighters swarmed in, reaching the range of the armed system and launched an attack on the huge floating warship...

"Operation target changed! All combat personnel are to intercept the incoming Anti-Entropy Force, and the airborne operation is advanced! Sorry, Himeko... Hyperion can't provide you with support before entering the ruins, so please be careful of stray bullets and underwater Honkai beasts!"

"Don't worry, Theresa. I've encountered much worse situations than this. As long as Hyperion can stop these troublemakers, we'll be able to meet up with Shiris and the others soon... Very good, Fu Hua is in place. Hey! Kiana, Mei, what are you waiting for? It's time to set off!"

Ji Zi's confident voice came from the other end of the communication. At the same time as the communication ended, Hyperion's airdrop capsule was activated. Then, several figures quickly fell from hundreds of meters in the air, passing through the dense barrage below the warship and falling to the sea below...

"Tsk... Has he really been noticed?"

Ji Zi used her giant sword to block an energy beam coming towards her, and said to herself solemnly. Looking at the several magnetic storm fighters that broke through the Hyperion firepower network and rushed towards her, she gritted her teeth and resolutely adjusted the buffer thrusters of the landing device to the reverse propulsion mode, rushing to the water surface below at a faster speed than the free fall...

Seeing her actions, Kiana next to her widened her eyes and quickly activated the team channel.

"Hey, hey! Aunt Jizi, are you crazy? If we continue to accelerate from this height, even if we are Valkyries, we will be smashed into pieces..."

"If you don't want to be shot in the face by those high-energy lasers, switch to the acceleration mode immediately.

If you were all qualified B-rank Valkyries, wouldn't you have as many emergency response methods as you wanted?"

Hearing this, Kiana looked at Fu Hua who had already passed her and fell, then looked at the anti-entropy fighter rushing towards her. She gritted her teeth and activated the anti-propulsion device.

"Ah...! Never mind! Don't underestimate me!"

·————————————·

In someone's eyes, this battle was no surprise.

At this moment, inside a large warship anchored in a certain sea area, Cocolia looked at the battle on the terminal light screen in front of her, and a shadow flashed in her eyes.

"Has a Valkyrie already managed to break in? Humph, don't even think about it! In that case, I won't give you either Shiris or the Holy Relic!"

She pulled out her communicator and connected to an encrypted communication on the front line.

"Did you see that? The Valkyrie of Destiny has already entered the ruins. Following their steps, we will definitely find the real entrance to the ruins! With your strength, this level of things should be no problem, right? Xing..."

After a while, a rustling sound came from the communication line with serious signal interference. The next moment, a distorted sound came from the communication line due to interference.

"Don't worry, Mom. This time... I will definitely bring Sister Shilis back! I will definitely...!"

At the same time, in the Jiuyou Ruins in the deep sea area, a certain silver-haired girl destroyed the rock wall, causing a large amount of seawater to flow back and the terrain to collapse, causing a slight tremor in the entire ruins...

As a result, many ancient collapsed creatures sleeping deep in the ruins were awakened and began to wander aimlessly within the ruins.

This would be a devastating disaster for ordinary explorers. However, those who can come here are naturally not ordinary adventurers...

---boom!!

A violent explosion roared at the cliff at the end of the rock wall. Blue light mixed with electric arcs spread out with the shock wave, stirring up the surrounding rubble.

In the roaring gale, the giant lizard Honkai Beast, whose head was smashed into pieces, shook its body and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust...

"Damn it, what on earth happened? Sister Shilis... nothing will happen...?"

In front of a heavy door of unknown material, the silver-haired girl holding a giant cannon muttered to herself. After transforming the energy heavy cannon transformed by Eludnir back into the state of a cross, she put it on her back again and looked forward with a solemn expression...

"All the roads are destroyed... Although there should be more than one gate leading to the ruins, what if Sister Sis is there..."

Kiana murmured to herself with a worried look on her face. As far as she could see, the stone walls of this narrow cave had all collapsed, and the sea water had flooded all the lower branches. Only the high platform where she was currently located was spared.

However, the destruction of these roads is not important. The gate behind Kiana is the real entrance to the ruins. After Kiana and Seele entered the ruins that had not been destroyed in advance, they found this place easily and found the key hidden in the ruins after a while. Kiana let the others enter the ruins first, and she stayed here to wait for Shiris who was a step slower.

However, not long after, with a fleeting familiar energy fluctuation, the stone wall in front of him collapsed without any warning! Then, as endless sea water flooded into the cave, countless collapsed creatures tore through the ground and rushed out, following the instincts of the collapsed beasts, indiscriminately attacking the surrounding living things...

After a not-so-difficult battle, Kiana eliminated all the hundreds of Honkai beasts around her. At this moment, looking at the sea in front of her and the stone gate behind her, Kiana was in a dilemma. Should she continue to move forward to confirm the safety of her companions, or should she stay here and wait for the missing Shiris?

Suddenly, Kiana frowned, lowered her head in surprise, and looked at the figure lying on a protruding stone pillar below. It was a petite girl, her clothes were tattered, her body-length hair mixed with purple and silver was wet and draped over her body, and her appearance was very similar to herself and Shirley.

Instantly recognizing the girl who had just launched the attack at sea, Kiana seemed to have thought of something, and her pupils shrank immediately, and a hint of turbid golden light appeared in her pure blue eyes...

"This guy...could it be...?"

333 Unexpected Encounter

"Ahem...how hateful! That damn guy!"

In the cave filled with seawater, a girl in tattered clothes was lying on a protruding rock, coughing and growling with a ferocious expression. She grabbed the ground fiercely, and her seemingly soft and slender fingers scratched the rock under her.

With the blessing of , Latil's fragile girl body can now have the strength of steel.

However, even though she already possessed physical abilities far beyond those of ordinary humans, Latil still retained many of her human habits. When the rock wall broke and seawater poured in, this level of water pressure could not have posed any threat to her, and the energy conversion of Honkai energy could completely replace breathing. However, Latil instinctively tried to breathe in her anxiety, and after inhaling a large amount of seawater into her lungs, even though she inherited the informationized pain function of Shilis's genes, she still felt an unbearable discomfort...

After coughing out the remaining seawater in her lungs, she stood up unsteadily, shook her hair that was covered with water droplets, and adjusted her breathing slightly, even though it was completely unnecessary...

"You're just using those boring little tricks... Very good! It seems that you really can't fight me head-on! If you know this..."

Latier muttered to herself. In her thoughts, she did not notice the danger that was approaching her quickly. However, when she finally realized something, it was too late...

"Varied......?!"

——Bang! !

The shrill sound of breaking wind entered her ears. Just as she raised her head, the huge cross that was chopped down in front of her occupied Latil's entire field of vision! In panic, she had no time to release the shield, so she subconsciously blocked her hands in front of her. Then, a heavy impact fell on her arms the next moment! The next moment, with the crisp sound of bone cracking and the disgusting sound of flesh being squeezed, her arms were instantly twisted by this heavy blow, and she was completely crushed!

"Ugh...! Asshole! Who the hell is that?!"

Without even seeing the identity of the attacker, Latiel was suppressed inexplicably. She became extremely furious. A high concentration of Honkai energy filled her body, ready to burst out at any time, using the withering energy extracted from the Serenity Gem to wipe out all life forms around her!
