K424 of the Collapse World

"I actually believed your lies just now. It seems that I am really becoming more and more stupid... This kind of unskilled fighting style, it seems that you really have perfectly inherited my strength level from five years ago, Miss Fake..."

In response to this, Shiris, who was playing with the Magnetic Sword, just sighed with some emotion, and then looked indifferently at Latil who had rushed in front of her in an instant. Facing the spear tip that lifted the sound barrier, she slightly turned sideways to avoid the stab of the crystal spear, and with the long sword in her backhand, she casually lifted it and directly cut off Latil's right hand holding the spear!

The broken arm fell in midair with the gushing blood. The girl didn't care about the splashing blood. She rushed forward again and stuffed the barrel of the super-electromagnetic hand cannon in her left hand into Latier's subconsciously opened mouth and pulled the trigger...

--boom! !

With the muffled sound of the electromagnetic shotgun, a blood flower burst out from the back of the girl's head, and she fell backwards with blood gushing out of all her orifices. The gushing thick blood plasma rushed out one of her eyeballs, and she fell down like a crumpled rag doll, falling into the sea below, splashing a piece of water mixed with blood...

Correct

Fighting with equal physical strength, it was obvious who was stronger, Shiris had spent five years honing her fighting skills compared to Latil.

"With Kiana's strength, even if I were at my peak, I would still have little chance of winning against her. And you guys, you want to defeat her with such a low level? It's just wishful thinking..."

Silis said lightly, swung the bloodstained sword in her hand, and turned her head to look at the other side of the ruins. In the corner of the edge of this space, a petite girl covered in blood was lying motionless on the broken rocks. Two huge black metal blades pierced through her body, nailing her to the rock. From time to time, they also released a little electric current, keeping her body tissues paralyzed, and she couldn't pull out the two metal blades by her own strength...

With Sora's strength as an ordinary Valkyrie, she naturally could not intervene in the battle at the Herrscher level. Only the specialized weapons in her hands could play a little role. However, this was meaningless. Shiris, who maintained an overwhelming dominance in the battle, just "took care" of her a little, which led to such consequences.

Given that Latil was completely suppressed in the battle, he naturally had no time to treat her. If this continued, she would soon die of excessive blood loss. However, despite the unexpected super strength that Shiris exerted, Sora, who was now on the verge of death, had not given up hope...

She was not imagining that Latil could defeat Shiris in a head-on battle, because she knew that was impossible. Sora was just waiting for Shiris to completely overdraw her own Houkai energy before her life was exhausted and become a fish on the chopping board.

That's right, now Shiris only temporarily regained her former strength by relying on the Honkai potion just now. This temporary strength will definitely not last too long! When she is completely exhausted...

(It hurts so much... Tsk! If you still have a sense of pain, I really want you to experience this feeling...)

Sora thought silently, and raised his head with some effort. At this time, Latil, who had completed the repair of her body, floated out of the water. Although she also had the ability of Shiris's pain information, she was still very gloomy after being attacked by this unexpected attack...

"k424...you're dead! When I catch you, I'll let you experience firsthand what hell is..."

"No need. I've been through worse things than hell."

Shiris said calmly, pointing the magnetic sword in the direction of Latil. The next moment, contrary to her expectations, just when she thought that this girl would foolishly rush over to get beaten like before, Latil actually created crystal wings behind her. The next moment, a huge amount of Honkai energy began to gather behind her...

"You actually released such a large-scale attack... Are you trying to turn this ruins into our grave?"

"..."

Shilis asked with a faint smile, and when she saw the madness in Latil's eyes, she couldn't help but sigh. The next moment, the light wings behind her suddenly opened, and her figure suddenly accelerated in the air. Before Latil could react, she opened her hand and grabbed her face. In the downward high-speed sprint, she pressed her hard on the rock below. With the flying debris from the heavy impact, the purple crystal wings that were interrupted by the energy gathering were instantly smashed to pieces!

"Release a charged attack in front of the enemy? Haha... Do you think I will just stand there and wait for you to finish charging?"

As she spoke, Shilis raised her fists covered with arm armor and punched Latier in a flurry of punches...

Under normal circumstances, Shirley might have shouted "Ora Ora!" to add to the fun, but she was in no mood for that now. With the reinforcement of the exoskeleton and the blessing of the pseudo-herrscher state, she punched Latil in the face again and again. Within a few hits, her delicate face was torn into pieces, with her skull exposed. Her bloody skin was barely hanging on it, and her facial features were completely blurred by blood... Even so, Shirley did not stop attacking, and punched with all her strength in her current state, until her fist was suddenly grasped tightly by a bloody little hand.

"Ho..."

Latil, whose head was completely deformed, uttered a sound that sounded like a sneer from her trachea. The next moment, as a strong white light lit up, a number of polyps appeared on her bloody face, and began to proliferate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When both sides possess the power of creation, as long as they still have Honkai energy, a battle that cannot directly kill the other side will always be a war of attrition.

"The Houkai energy in your syringes has been used up, right? They are defective."

Latil said with a grim smile, and the sudden explosion of Honkai energy around him created a shock wave. Shilis was immediately blown away by this not-so-strong shock wave, and adjusted her body in the air and landed steadily. Just as Latil said, now her Honkai energy in her body has been almost consumed, with only a little reserve left to maintain her body functions. And now, she is even a little unstable...

...

Seeing the girl staggering when she landed, Sora smiled a pale smile of victory. She was now blinded by blood loss, but now it was obvious that she had won the bet. As long as Latil subdued the weakened K424, he could immediately use the power of creation to repair his body...

After feeling her physical condition, Shilis breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Latil who was walking slowly towards her, still with a faint smile on her face.

"That's right. My Honkai energy has been exhausted... But this way, I won't be affected anymore."

She said so, and in Latil's surprised eyes, she directly activated her terminal. The next moment, something that the girl had stored in the temporary quantum space of the terminal in advance appeared in her hand with a condensed blue light...

——Bang!

Smashing the golden cross in her hand to the ground, Shilis looked at Sora and Latil with a dull look on their faces, and the smile on her face suddenly became cunning.

"You should know this thing... right? Hehe... The Eleventh Key of God - Judas's Oath. Isn't this weapon suitable for dealing with a fool like you who only knows how to squander your strength?"

341 Constraint Key

"The Oath of Judah...?!"

As the cross called the Binding Key was placed on the ground by the girl, Latil, who was standing not far away, immediately felt an inexplicable sense of crisis. The huge amount of Honkai energy in his body seemed to solidify, and even the sense of control became extremely awkward...

The source of all this is the cross that the girl placed next to her.

Even though she was just a researcher in the field of biology, Latil still knew that those secret weapons called God's Keys, the strongest individual weapons from the last civilization era, each of them had the power to subvert the rules of the world. Among them, the Key of Constraint and the Oath of Judah were the specialized God's Keys that were rumored to have the strongest suppression ability against Honkai! Now, she clearly felt the feeling of facing a natural enemy...

Not far away, Sora also stared blankly at the golden cross beside the girl. The situation that had been sure of victory suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse. Her brain had become somewhat dull due to blood loss. Even though the metal blade inserted into her body was no longer releasing electricity, she had completely lost the strength to struggle.

His eyes gradually became blurred. Sora looked at Latil, who was only keeping a vigilant eye on the silver-haired girl in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

This complete amateur, it seems that she has no intention of repairing herself. This idiot with only hatred in her head, after she dies, her fate is basically doomed...

(In the end... As expected... You knew from the beginning that we could only weaken K424 but not defeat her, so you planned it this way, Lord Otto... But as a discarded pawn, I did a pretty good job...)

At this time, Latil still didn't know that her companion was on the verge of death. She looked hesitantly at the silver-haired girl with Judas in front of her, her clenched fists trembling slightly.

"But why...! Why is this thing in your hands?! How can a Honkai creature like you...?"

"Although I am also a Honkai creature similar to the Herrscher, Judas's suppression ability is only effective against Honkai... And, I am a member of the Kaslana family anyway, so I have some authority to use Judas..."

Shirley replied calmly, her body staggering involuntarily. At this moment, her face turned pale. In fact, Shirley's broken body was completely dependent on Honkai energy to maintain its basic energy. If there was no Honkai energy left, with her body temperature dozens of degrees lower than that of ordinary people and a heart rate of less than 40 beats per minute, it would be impossible for her to maintain normal mobility.

However, even in this state, she would not die immediately. After all, people whose hearts completely stopped beating would not die immediately, not to mention that she still maintained a certain heart rate. Her current state was similar to those dying patients in the intensive care unit, but Shiris, who could ignore the pain, could still do something with such a body.

Originally, this was her trump card for when she faced Ji Xuanyuan, but she didn't expect to use it here. To be honest, Shiris herself was a little unsure about using the body of a Honkai creature to control this special weapon against Honkai. Maybe the moment she connected with Judas, she would be backfired like when she used the Holy Fire Judgment, making the situation even worse...

Without a companion to watch over her, she was a little worried about rashly carrying out such a dangerous experiment. However, she certainly would not show this worry to the enemy in front of her. Even if there was a certain risk, facing these guys who hurt Kiana, even if they were willing to stop and make peace now, she would not give up!

"Ha... As expected, it's still a little bit forced, but judging from your expression, you should be in more pain than me, right? The Houkai energy that is part of your body

How does it feel to be suppressed? "

"...Shut up! You are just a piece of trash who has lost your power... Even if you have the Key of God, I can still kill you!!"

Latil suddenly roared, forcibly mobilizing the Honkai energy in his body that had not yet been completely suppressed, condensing a crooked crystal spear, and threw it hard at the smiling silver-haired girl! However, the crystal spear lost its accuracy as soon as it left his hand, and flew past Shirley's side and plunged into the water. The throw was barely ten meters away, but it was almost two meters off...

"Well... since you are eager to start the fight, I won't waste any more time talking to you. Now, please feel the power of the Key of God."

The girl, who was already somewhat unsteady on her feet, took a deep breath, placed her hand on the surface of the cross beside her, and followed the method Theresa had told her to communicate directly with the Key of God with her mind.

The next moment, with a faint burning sensation, some strange energy connected to her mind. At this moment, Shilis only felt that as some huge torrent of information invaded her mind, her consciousness also sank into a strange space...

On the surface, the silver-haired girl's pupils suddenly became empty and lifeless. The next moment, the Oath of Judas began to transform and unfold on the spot according to the girl's instinctive will, and the thirteen metal spears hidden in the gaps of the cross were revealed!

At this moment, Judas's oath finally woke up and entered combat mode. Within the range of the cross, all Honkai energy would be suppressed to the maximum extent!

"Well......!"

The next moment, as the Houkai suppression force spreading around intensified again, Latil's legs softened and she almost fell to the ground. She was not proficient in controlling Houkai energy, and faced with Judas's strong suppression, she did not choose to avoid it, but directly used the most stupid method of forcing it. Thanks to this, the remaining Houkai energy in her body began to evaporate rapidly and steadily, like the river water that merged with endless lava. If she did nothing, it would not be long before she would be like the girl not far away...

Feeling his energy becoming weaker and weaker, Latil panicked and looked at the cross that was emitting holy golden light with horror, and couldn't help but screaming.

"Why is my strength gradually disappearing?! Stop it right now! K424... You, you bitch! I must kill you! Uh..."

Looking at the silent silver-haired girl, Latil gritted his teeth, forcibly lifted his heavy legs, and walked towards Shiris. As long as he mobilized his remaining Honkai energy to strengthen his strength to the extreme, and tore this weak girl apart with his bare hands, that damn weapon would stop working!

With this thought in mind, she staggered forward a few steps. But the next moment, when she walked into a certain area around Shirley, the lifeless silver-haired girl suddenly raised her head, locked her eyes on the target, and raised her other hand towards Latil...

- Swish!

Countless chains suddenly extended from the unfolded cross, imprisoning the unsuspecting Latier! Under the entanglement of the chains, the energy loss in her body became faster. In a moment, her consciousness became hazy due to the loss of Honkai energy, but she still glared at the silver-haired girl in front of her, and stretched out her hand with the greatest strength she had left, and a hint of purple light flashed on her fingertips...

"Asshole... For the sake of my family's revenge, I must kill you with my own hands! It doesn't matter if the mission fails, as long as I can kill you..."

--laugh......!

Suddenly, a stream of information called "severe pain" flowed from his chest to his mind. Latil's pupils shrank and he froze in place. The trace of Honkai energy that was forcibly condensed at his fingertips also dissipated.

A golden spear stretched out from the silver-haired girl's hand, and the sharp tip of the spear penetrated deeply into the center of the girl's chest...

Latil didn't know that the current "Shiris" could no longer hear her voice. The girl's current action mode was to passively fight against the Honkai creatures with attacking intentions, as if it was a set program.

"k424...you damned monster! Even if I die, I will take you with me..."

Latil coughed up a mouthful of blood. Under the combined effects of interference and suppression, she could no longer release the power of creation to repair her wounds. As the hatred in her eyes became extremely strong, more and more purple particles floated around her. After compressing the remaining Honkai energy in her body to the extreme, her intention was self-evident.

341 Constraint Key >>

However, before that, the remaining twelve golden spears popped out at the same time, and under the attraction of the golden energy lingering around them, they shot out from all directions at the girl bound in the chains...

·————————————·

With her consciousness temporarily disconnected, when Shilis opened her eyes again, what she saw was no longer the broken rock wall and the crazy attacking clones, but a dark cloud.

Under the cloudy sky, the earth is full of city wreckage and burning flames...

Although her consciousness was extremely clear, the girl could not move freely, nor could she make a sound normally. Although she now realized what was going on, she could not interfere with it and could only watch silently as a certain being showed her everything.

After establishing a deep spiritual connection with Judas, the memories of the stigmata remaining in the Herrscher's core flowed into her mind along with this connection, and like a documentary, the past history was quickly re-presented in front of her...

This is a civilization era that does not exist in the present world, and the application of biotechnology far exceeds the era where Shiris lives. Similarly, in this world, there is also a "natural disaster" called collapse...

The perspective follows an ordinary girl living in a small town. She has no talent and is destined to not be able to join the "Fire Moth" and become a warrior against Honkai. She can only work normally in the outside world and live on, just like most ordinary people in this world, and regard the Honkai phenomenon as a natural disaster.

Anyway, for those without power, the collapse is indeed an absolutely irresistible natural disaster. The girl is just an ordinary girl. She does not have any lofty ideals, nor the ambitions of a great man. No matter where she lives or what kind of work she does, it is all a matter of fate, in this world where the collapse erosion has steadily entered its final stage. As long as she can still be alive, it is the greatest happiness...

That's what she thought. Living in a small town near the edge of the city, she had no chance to come into contact with the existence of the center of the world. She had never carefully considered what would happen if the disaster of collapse happened to her.

Although she had never seen a true Honkai, she knew very well from the rumors and education she had received that if ordinary people encountered those powerful Honkai creatures, the worst that could happen was death. Even if they would be transformed into zombies called dead soldiers, they would already be dead by then, so it didn't matter what happened to their corpses...

In an optimistic self-deception, she spent her childhood in peace. During these years, the large-scale sequence collapse that occurred in the world fortunately did not affect her town. However, as the protagonist of this stigma memory, what she experienced must not be so simple.

As expected, as fate would have it, the eleventh sequence collapse quietly and silently descended upon her town...

In the collapse, all living things will lose their original value, and then be given new value by the "Gods".

In the baptism of special Honkai energy, people living in the town died one after another. Their corpses stood up again under the control of Honkai energy, showing their fangs and claws to their former relatives and friends. Under the influence of Honkai, the docile animals turned into brutal and deformed creatures, turning the whole town into a hell of killing...

At this time, the girl in the field of vision just stayed there quietly, watching all this happening coldly.

The non-stop killing warriors and Honkai beasts avoided the girl as they passed by her. They didn't ignore her as if she were their own kind, but kept their distance deliberately, as if she was a natural enemy that they absolutely could not afford to provoke...

She did not move until the town was completely destroyed. She did not run away from these Honkai creatures, nor did she try to save the people who died in the Honkai. The instinct engraved deep in her soul told her that they were all enemies, and she had to destroy them...

That's right, she is the Herrscher born in the eleventh sequence of collapse - the Herrscher of Constraint. The irresistible force rewrote her mind, and her previous worldview and values ​​were completely annihilated. Her consciousness also became a puppet that obeyed the consciousness of collapse. Following this order in her mind, she is destined to be an enemy of this world and destroy the human civilization that occupies this world!

It should have been like this. However, seeing the people who once lived with her being brutally slaughtered, she, whose mind had not yet been completely transformed by Honkai, was shaken. This small change completely changed her fate...

After the Honkai creatures that were born in this collapse completely destroyed the town, they returned to her side. However, beyond the girl's expectation, these Honkai beasts that were supposed to be the followers of the Herrscher, after a brief hesitation, launched an attack on the girl who was surrounded in the middle!

The power of the Herrscher of Constraint can weaken and limit any form of special energy. After the girl's consciousness was shaken, this power formed an effect field under unconscious self-protection, so that all dangerous energy around her would be completely annihilated...

The power of the Ruler of Constraint is enough to wipe out even the origin of Honkai energy! In the past eras, there were many Rulers who betrayed Honkai. This force field that suppressed everything, in the simple logical judgment of the Honkai beast, regarded the master it was supposed to serve as an enemy and launched an attack without hesitation!

However, due to the existence of the force field, the Honkai beast was killed the moment it approached the girl because its Honkai energy was deprived. The Honkai beast tide that was enough to threaten the entire world was destroyed in this way.

In the hands of the leader's lawyer.

After her original worldview collapsed, she unconsciously killed her own family members, and was regarded as a traitor by the Honkai Will, and the mission given to her no longer existed. The girl, who had become a Herrscher, once again doubted the meaning of her existence.

Both the human side and the Honkai side became her enemies. The girl's consciousness also changed from the original human consciousness to the cold-blooded Herrscher, and then to an existence that she herself could not understand. She wandered aimlessly in the ruins, killing the Honkai beasts and humans who attacked her along the way, and then continued to move forward...

"So, what do you want to express by sharing your experience with me?"

Suddenly, as the picture suddenly distorted, Shirley's voice sounded faintly, echoing in another space, but it did not reach the ears of the wandering girl.

"I know you are still conscious, otherwise you wouldn't have proactively transmitted such a huge amount of information to me when I connected to the Key of God... Come out, I know you can hear it."

As Shirley said this, the surrounding scene dimmed, and the next moment, the scene in front of her changed from the wasteland just now to a magnificent church. The hazy feeling of the illusion completely dissipated, and Shirley immediately realized that she had truly arrived at the center of the space of the consciousness owner...

"You are so impatient... Of course I won't let you watch meaningless things, my friend."

On the chair at the bottom of the temple, a girl with short silver hair sat in the middle. She was wearing a black and white dress similar to a nun's robe, with a cross pattern printed on the sleeves.

This appearance was exactly the same as the Ruler of Constraint in the previous scene, and Shilis directly confirmed the identity of this girl. Although she was shocked, she still remained calm on the surface, exhaled lightly, and then spoke softly.

"It's hard to imagine... Even if there is only one core left, can your consciousness still be preserved? Tell me directly, what is your purpose in bringing me to this place?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on her solemn yet gentle face. She looked at the alert Shirley calmly and slowly stood up from the chair.

"I'm sorry... I brought your consciousness here without your consent. I just didn't expect that there would be a 'traitor' like me using this Key of God, so I'm a little surprised..."

"A traitor...like you?"

“Isn’t that so? As Herrschers who betrayed the god ‘Honkai’, we are all the same, the second Herrscher of this era…”

342 Existence

After hearing the girl's words, Shirley's face remained unchanged. She had expected this long ago, so being pointed out directly did not surprise her.

"Hehe... Isn't it? You are the Herrscher chosen by Honkai, but you stand on the side of humans and fight against Honkai creatures. When 'that child' became your enemy, you showed mercy to her. This act of aiding the enemy is already a traitor in the judgment of the Honkai will..."
