K424 of the Collapse World

Neither Ji Xuanyuan nor Fu Hua were moved by the hostility of the silver-haired girl. Under the resonance caused by the intersection of energy, they both recalled each other's identities. In this situation, there was no need for words, just a glance, they could know each other's thoughts. Now, they both locked their eyes on the silver-haired girl standing in the center and took a fighting stance.

Fu Hua's long blue-gray hair, as the energy was filled and transformed, turned back to the stunning cherry white color at the beginning. The seal of Chi You was originally created by her, Ji Xuanyuan and their former companions, so she could naturally draw Chi You's power from the seal. Relying on this huge amount of Honkai energy, she temporarily regained some of her strength from her heyday. Now she is fully capable of competing with a true perfect body hersher!

The warhorse that was annihilated in the flash of light also reappeared beside Ji Xuanyuan. This mount that followed her to battle all over the world five thousand years ago also merged into her holy mark along with the curse of collapse. As long as the collapse energy has not been exhausted, her warhorse will never be destroyed...

A bolt of lightning fell with a bang, and before it touched the ground, Ji Xuanyuan caught it tightly in his hand. The next moment, the golden lightning gradually transformed into the shape of a long sword in the flickering light.

Even if the sword is not in her hand, it does not mean that she has no means to fight. The blessing of the sword deeply engraved in the holy scar has never been forgotten by her.

"Clear the target, start again."

Following the silver-haired girl's cold voice, the light in her hands condensed instantly, and once again turned into a golden wave, rushing towards the two girls in the distance. The energy in her body seemed to be infinite. After several such large-scale attacks, she still showed no signs of decline. The light of destruction surged over in an instant, about to drown the two girls who were waiting in full battle array...

(Only about 20% of her peak strength? Using Yu Du Chen and Grand Void Grip at the same time should be a bit of a stretch... But, this is enough to subdue her in an instant...!)

Fu Hua clenched her fists, and feather-like flames suddenly erupted behind her. As the burning feather-like sparks slowly fluttered around her, Fu Hua took a deep breath and was about to concentrate her strength to punch out. However, before she could do so, a huge space crack suddenly appeared in front of Fu Hua and Ji Xuanyuan, swallowing up all the energy torrents coming in front of them...!

"Xi'er! Are you okay?"

At this time, following the voices of several girls, Claire, Bronya and others ran towards this side from the passage on the other side of the platform, and came directly to Fu Hua and Ji Xuanyuan who frowned slightly, looking worriedly at the silver-haired girl on the other side.

"I am fine."

As the energy torrent subsided, the blue-haired girl holding a sickle appeared where the space crack disappeared, and stared at the silver-haired girl in front of her. Her red eyes, which were dyed blood-red by the collapse but did not contain the slightest murderous intent, were filled with a complicated look. She took a step forward and looked at the silver-haired girl with a strange expression.

"Sister Kiana...are you crazy? Why are you..."

Before she finished speaking, a beam of pure golden light flashed out from the silver-haired girl's hand without any warning and shot towards Xi'er's chest! Facing the sudden attack, Xi'er's pupils shrank slightly and her expression instantly became dull. However, the next moment, with a fleeting flash of fire, Fu Hua, who was covered in flames, instantly appeared in front of Xi'er, waved her arm, and dispersed the beam with one hand!

"Back off, Ms. Seele! Thank you for your help just now, but she is no longer the person you are familiar with... She is now the agent of the Honkai Will! If you approach rashly... you will die!"

End of 344

"Um?!"

Somewhere in the outer circle of the ruins, a brown-haired girl squatting in front of a broken wall suddenly raised her head and put down some kind of detector in her hand.

"Ah... this is really..."

As her slightly wrinkled brows relaxed, the girl looked at the real information on the invisible photon eyepiece in front of her. After a long time, an intriguing smile flashed in her cherry-red pupils.

"It's a little faster than expected. But it's still within the plan. Since K424-01's life response has disappeared, the backup plan has been activated... I don't know whether this is lucky or unfortunate for you..."

The next moment, a green communication connection suddenly appeared on her communication terminal page. Looking at the familiar ID number, Rita breathed a sigh of relief and directly connected to the individual communication captured by the terminal.

"Greetings, Lord Ningdi. I'm sure you received the signal just now, right?"

"Well, I was just about to head over. Any questions? As far as I can remember our missions are completely unrelated, Miss Rita."

Hearing the cold girl's voice on the communication, Rita smiled and shook her head, her elegant manners flawless.

"No... I just didn't expect that it would take you so long to get to this part of the ruins, so I was a little worried... But you're still on time, so it seems I was worrying too much."

"Rita, I'm not lost this time. I just encountered a little trouble along the way, but it has been resolved. Don't worry."

"I see... Then, the final confirmation of K424's current status will be left to you, Lord Ninti Apokalis."

Five minutes ago...

In the outer circle of the ruins, in the open area formed by the breaking of multiple layers of rock walls, the seawater that poured into the ruins gradually rose upwards over time, and has already flooded nearly one-third of the height of the cave wall. Many rocks that fell during the collapse have been flooded by the rising water level. Soon, this area will be completely submerged by seawater...

——Puff! !

On a huge rock near the edge, as thirteen spears pierced Latil's body at the same time, blood immediately spurted out! A few drops of blood splashed on the face of the silver-haired girl holding the spear. Her pupils shrank, and her dazed eyes instantly regained clarity...

"Is it over......?"

She murmured on the ground, the subtle sound was not heard by anyone else. The illusion of softness left between her lips made the girl's face

Her cheeks flushed slightly. She looked at the golden cross standing beside her and frowned slightly. She closed her eyes and emptied her mind, as if she was confirming something with her spiritual power. The next moment, the girl sighed slightly, and her clear blue eyes became deeper.

"It's not an illusion. Alas, that idiot..."

Recalling everything that had just happened, the silver-haired girl who had embraced her in the stigmata space, as her body gradually dissipated and turned into the core of the Herrscher of Constraint, the girl's translucent face slowly approached, and her whispers that drifted away with the wind floated into Shiris's ears...

"Um... In the last moments, can I ask you for a favor? What does it feel like when humans express their love? I have never experienced that feeling in tens of thousands of years... So..."

Shaking her head to dispel the image in her mind, Shilis blushed and took a deep breath. Her completely exhausted Honkai energy had been completely replenished without her knowing when, but the burning sensation of Honkai energy being suppressed by soul steel had completely disappeared. Moreover, the carrier of this energy was no longer her body, but was completely condensed into a golden crystal...

In the sea of ​​consciousness, feeling the golden crystal that had completely merged with her, Shilis bit her lips lightly, with a hint of sadness in her indifferent eyes. She couldn't help but feel a little emotional about that "momentary" encounter.

“Ahem… Ahem…”

Suddenly, a faint voice interrupted Shiris's thoughts. She turned her head and saw the girl who was pierced by the golden spear coughing up blood, with a crazy smile on her increasingly ferocious face...

Latil did not notice the silver-haired girl's deep pupils, or the elusive aura that seemed to have been reborn. In her intense anger, she gave up thinking, and at the moment when the spear pierced her body, she raised her left hand that was still able to move, and tightly grasped the spear in Shirley's hand that pierced her body!

"Hahahahaha...! It's useless! K424! Even if you can use the Divine Key, you can't suppress all of my Honkai energy in a few seconds! Now... you can't escape!"

As the girl's crazy voice sounded, the Honkai energy she forcibly released gathered together and was compressed into an unstable Honkai crystal by her control. While resisting the suppression force that seemed to come from the Key of God, the Honkai crystal energy in her body became stronger and stronger. Looking at Shilis who still had a calm expression, the grim smile on her face became more and more intense.

"Do you think you have a sure win? How ridiculous! Have you forgotten that our Honkai energy can be transformed into four different energy forms? What do you think...in what form will I release it?"

Following Latil's words, she was instantly surrounded by raging flames! With the help of her instinctive energy conversion ability, she transformed all the Honkai energy she had gathered into flames from the Key of Destruction!

"Pay for your sins in the flames of the plague...! k424!"

As Latil roared, the flames surrounding her body suddenly shrank! Just before the extremely compressed Honkai Crystal in her body exploded, Shilis on the opposite side finally made a move.

She just let go of the spear in her hand, gently raised one hand, and opened her palm towards Latil. The next moment, the extremely violent flame energy disappeared without a sign! The fluctuating flames and the dissipating strong wind disappeared in an instant, as if everything just now was an illusion...

"This, this is...?"

Latil's grim smile froze on her face. The Honkai energy crystals that she had just condensed with all her strength disappeared out of thin air, and the burning sensation of the suppressed Honkai energy no longer appeared. But at the same time, she could no longer feel any Honkai energy in her body. Latil stared at the silver-haired girl in front of her with a dull look, completely unaware of what had just happened.

Shilis slowly put down her hand, and faced the astonishment in Latil's eyes, she just smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if it is converted into other energy forms, it is still just a special energy... Since it is a special energy, it is meaningless to me. Although it won't have any effect on me if I let you explode on the spot, I still want to take some samples. I can't let you roast your entire body."

While speaking expressionlessly, Shilis's mind moved slightly, and the twelve golden spears that pierced Latil flew back to the inside of Judah's Oath under the traction of some force. Then she pulled the golden spear out of Latil's chest. The girl who had lost all her Honkai energy collapsed directly to the ground. After pulling out the spear, the blood gushed out from the wound, and immediately dyed the rock under her completely bloody!

Although Latil is now a Honkai creature, unlike the dead soldiers whose body tissues have completely collapsed, after she lost the Honkai energy that supports her energy, her body still belongs to the category of human. In this situation, the massive blood loss has become a fatal injury...

"Oh...ah..."

After her chest was pierced, blood mixed with air entered Latil's lungs. Her Honkai energy was exhausted, and she was extremely weak after losing too much blood. She could only instinctively

This pitiful scene was in stark contrast to her previous madness and arrogance, but at this moment, no one here would pity her.

Shirley didn't pay attention to the girl whose pupils were gradually dilating. She just bent down, took out an empty liquid-state Houkai syringe from her waist bag, placed the needle into the pool of blood on the rock, pulled the syringe, and deposited a small amount of blood into the syringe.

344 End >>

"You...bastard...!"

Hearing this, Shiris lowered her head and looked at the hatred in Latier's pupils that were gradually losing their luster. Her slightly narrowed eyes slowly became serious and her gaze met Latier's heterochromatic eyes.

"You still hate me so much even after all this? I can almost understand why you hate me so much. I'm sorry, but I don't know how evil I am in your eyes, but..."

Having said that, Shilis paused, looked at the girl who was still glaring at her in her dying moments, and couldn't help but sigh, with a slightly complicated expression on her face.

"Do you know... who you really are? Latier? This should be another person's name... Think about it carefully, who are you really?"

As Shiris continued to speak, the girl's brain, which had been gradually becoming blurry due to blood loss, suddenly shuddered. The conversation she had with Sora not long ago once again surfaced in her mind...

"Is everything you remember real? Do you think... can the body-changing experiment really transfer our consciousness perfectly? Is the current you really the original 'self'? I wonder if you have ever thought about whether the current us are just..."

(An experimental subject that only has "his own" memories? Could it be that...!)

In an instant, Latil's eyes became blank. This scene was seen by Shilis, but she didn't say anything. She just shook her head with some regret and put the collected blood sample into her pocket.

"It seems that I guessed it right... How about it? If you think about it carefully, you should be able to find the abnormality, right? Things like memories... Those that are forcibly filled in are still very different from your real experiences. It seems that you have realized something..."

Seeing the girl's eyes gradually dim after a moment of clarity, Shilis turned her eyes away from the girl. Without Honkai to repair the injury, she was already quite tenacious to be able to hold on for so long with such a large amount of blood loss. Even though she saw through the truth, Shilis did not intend to save the girl. Although there is a saying that ignorance is not a crime, whether this girl who has already made a mistake is guilty or not is still up to Shilis herself to decide...

"If you hadn't hurt Kiana, I might have considered letting you go... What a pity. If you want to blame someone, blame it on the mistake you made in where you were born. Farewell, my 'daughter'..."

Hearing this, the girl was startled, and her pale face revealed an inexplicable emotion. In an instant, her cloudy eyes, which were covered with a layer of mist, flashed with a light of enlightenment.

"..."

The girl's lips moved slightly, and she raised her hand with all her strength, as if she wanted to touch something. However, Shilis remained standing there, watching the luster in the girl's eyes completely dim, and her raised arm fell down softly...

After confirming that the girl's vital signs had completely disappeared, Shilis hesitated for a moment, but finally raised her hand and gently closed the girl's eyes.

Shirley's expression was somewhat gloomy. Based on the shape of her lips, she could tell that the girl had not said the words "I'm sorry".

(Newly born souls are pure white at the beginning, but because of this, they are easily stained with other colors... Humph, filling another person's memory into an innocent soul, twisting her will with false hatred... This is a bad taste. Hehe... Otto, I suddenly want to know, is your way of thinking really still in the category of "human"...)

While sneering in her heart, Shilis seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and looked behind her.

"Speaking of which... with your intelligence, you should have realized this a long time ago... Am I right, Miss Sora Hazel?"

On the other side of the rock, Sora, who was also on the verge of death, had his eyes trembled, and his tired gaze slowly met Shirley's eyes.

"So what... I don't think this kind of thing can be a reason for you to let me go... Shiris..."

"Indeed, I can't possibly forgive you. We have been enemies since you betrayed us for the first time a year ago... But I still don't quite understand why you did this? With your status, it shouldn't be difficult for you to understand the nature of the Destiny Organization, right? Is the Destiny Organization under Otto's control really worthy of your loyalty..."

While asking lightly

, Shirley spun the spear in her left hand into a gun flower, threw it behind her casually, and used her mind to control it accurately and inserted it back into the unfolded Judas. She frowned and waited for Sora's response.

"Loyalty...? What's wrong with devoting everything to your creator? Ahem... ha... I know very well that although I have the memories of Zarya Hazel, I am definitely not the Valkyrie of the Twilight Squad who died as a hero! I am just a shoddy fake... I'm afraid that changing the body was a scam from the beginning. My current consciousness was actually generated from that experimental subject a few years ago... So, since I am now... just a spy named Sora Hazel, then what does it matter if I do some so-called despicable things?!"

"..."

Sora glanced at the silent Shirley with the corner of her eye and showed a mocking smile on her face, but her cheeks turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and this expression only looked weird.

"Ahem... ha... then what do you think, Hillis? You have Cecilia's memories... but since you called yourself 'Hillis', you should have realized that you are not Cecilia, but a replica of the K series, right? In this case, are you really willing to be bound by memories that do not belong to you? Your life is your own, and your consciousness is your own, so why can't you live more casually... Heh, is your overly kind character also influenced by Cecilia's memories? Is it really good to deliberately abide by them? This kind of values ​​almost killed you..."

Hearing this, Shirley was silent for a moment, then shook her head, her cold expression remaining unmoved.

"Okay, I almost understand what you want to say... Because I am a clone that is different from ordinary people, can I throw away all human constraints and indulge myself completely? If so, what is the difference between me and those Honkai beasts driven by instinct? In addition, I also know that my personality may become a weakness. Under the influence of the values ​​of that memory, I have retained something that seems meaningless, such as 'kindness'. However, I will never abandon them no matter what... Because these values ​​are the most precious things that person left me!"

"..."

Clenching her fists, Shilis whispered these words as if to herself, not paying attention to the hint of doubt in Sora's eyes. The next moment, she turned around and stopped looking at the girl who was extremely weak due to the serious injury.

The seawater poured into the ruins and quickly overflowed. The blood that had been spilled on the rock surface began to dissolve and spread in the flowing water, slowly erasing the traces of the original tragic battle, and slowly covering the girl who had lost her breath and Sora whose pupils began to collapse...

With her back to all this, and letting life fade away before her, Shirley's expression remained calm. There was no ripple in her ice-blue eyes with a few golden particles in the irises.

"But, even if I have become weak under the influence of that person's memory, there are still things I absolutely cannot tolerate... Even if you hadn't betrayed me before, I would never forgive you for attacking her... Now, please die."

345 Obstacles

"So, next..."

With her back to the two figures gradually being swallowed by the flooded seawater, Shirley lowered her head and silently looked at her slightly damaged armor. In the previous battle, before using Judas, she really used all her strength to fight Latil head-on. In such a confrontation, although this super alloy armor is excellent, it is obviously still not good enough...

The cracked arm armor was dismantled. With this level of damage, it was obviously no longer usable. Although the ability of the Star Ring Vortex was very convenient, its role was quite limited in the battle against a strong enemy.

Looking at her bare hands after removing her arm armor, the hideous scars caused by the experiments were still on her skin. However, Shiris could feel that this kind of genetic damage was no longer absolutely incurable. As long as she was willing, she would be able to find a way to fill the defects in her genetic blueprint from the genetic information from the Herrscher core and her new Herrscher stigmata...

However, she just looked at her hands and did not immediately sink her consciousness into the stigmata space to try out the abilities she had acquired. Instead, she took out her well-preserved terminal and started the operation page.

"Now is not the time to do that... We need to find them quickly! Activating the stigmata will release high-intensity energy throughout the body, and the biochip used to operate the terminal may not be able to withstand it... Although it doesn't matter, at least we have to use this to find them first..."

While operating on the terminal, Shirley felt

After checking the biochip's reaction and confirming that it was still functioning normally, he connected the terminal with the chip and sent the previous wide-area detection wave again.

"Eh?!"

But suddenly, a subtle feeling made Shirley's pupils shrink. She immediately turned her head and looked at the place where Sora and Latil were just now, frowning slightly...

At that moment just now, she sensed that a weak electromagnetic wave was emitted from Sora's position, passed by her side, and spread towards the distance!

"Communication waves... She's still alive?! No, that's not right... Life response confirmation is completely gone. This should be some kind of triggered automatic program. Is it a system that will immediately send information somewhere when the owner dies..."

While muttering to herself, Shirley stood on a rock completely submerged by the sea, not caring at all that the water had already reached her calves. She thought for a moment, and her expression became a little solemn.

"This weak communication current cannot reach the outside of the ruins... In other words, Sora's direct superior, or the real mission executor, is nearby..."

Shilis raised her head and looked towards one end of the ruins with a meaningful look. The next moment, she chuckled and used the biochip to control her armor to unfold the energy wings, and she did not hesitate to adjust the energy release to the maximum. After all, now she no longer needs to rely on the energy of the armor to fight. Anyway, it is no longer needed, so it is better to use it all to hurry on the road...

"I rejected the power of the Second Herrscher, but I accepted the core of the Herrscher of Constraint? Haha... I became the Herrscher in the end. It was so sudden... I still don't feel it's real, but it's okay this way, anyway, her core won't produce a Honkai-side personality. Besides, I've experienced the powerlessness of being a weak person for long enough..."

Having regained great power, even in some sense far surpassing her former self, Shilis's emotions did not fluctuate too much. She just felt a little bit emotional. The way she gained power twice seemed to have a sense of déjà vu...

Putting the lance into the temporary quantum space, Shilis looked at Judas stuck in the water. The golden cross was still gorgeous, but the spiritual feeling before was gone. Without the core of the Ruler of Constraint, it was now just a soul steel creation, just like the weapon of the throne of the gods of destiny.

Even without the Herrscher Core, it still retained some of its ability to suppress Honkai. However, the original way of manipulating the light spears and chains at will could no longer be reproduced.

"I feel a little sorry for Theresa... Never mind, let's talk about those things later."

Shiris opened her hands, and a chain popped out from the front of Judah and fell into her hands. The girl exerted a little force and pulled Judah out of the water. She held him in her hands and drove the energy wings behind her to fly towards the cave on the other side...
