K424 of the Collapse World

With the help of the terminal, she has found the approximate location of Claire and others. However, that place seems to be deep in the ruins. Shilis's original plan was to take her team out of the ruins as soon as possible, but now, her original plan should be able to make some changes.

"The information just transmitted from Sora's terminal seems to be very small, only a few bytes. The information that the guys from Destiny have should only be 'K424 defeated Sora and Latil in some way', and they don't know that I got the Herrscher core from Judas. In this case..."

Flying at high speed through the winding cave, Shirley clenched her palms, looking at the golden particles slightly emitted from her fingertips, and a confident smile full of fighting spirit appeared on her indifferent face.

"Even if it's the strongest Valkyrie of the Destiny Organization, if I start a battle with her without taking her seriously... it should be easy to solve the problem, right? Moreover, even if I'm unlucky and encounter that terrifying existence, I should be able to fight with my current strength..."

After thinking about the most powerful existence in theory in the Jiuyou Ruins, Shilis couldn't help but scratch her hair, her expression becoming a little confused.

"Is the Chiyou sealed here really that powerful? How strange... Forget it, before finding them, I should try to avoid fighting with strong enemies as much as possible..."

While muttering to herself, she calmed down, and with the support of sufficient Honkai energy, she expanded her perception, trying to sense the location of the powerful enemy so as to avoid the area where it was. However, the next moment, after sensing the location of the terrifying aura, Shilis's expression froze.

"Actually... in the same place?!"

Shirley stared at her terminal blankly. After confirming that the horrifying aura completely coincided with the location of Kiana's terminal, panic suddenly appeared on her calm face.

(Oh no...they are in danger!)

After realizing this, the girl could no longer remain calm and directly released her own energy!

The energy wings that generated propulsion, filled with the girl's own Houkai energy, turned into light wings mixed with gold and purple. Her whole body was surrounded by scattered energy particles and strong light. Like a meteor with a tail flame, it rushed towards the deepest part of the ruins...

At this moment, in the deepest part of the Nine Nether Ruins, there were only three most powerful energy fluctuations colliding with each other. No one noticed that a strange energy reaction quietly appeared. Although the energy intensity was far less than those three fluctuations, the presence of that unique reaction was as conspicuous as a light in the dark night!

Somewhere in the ruins, a little girl with light blonde hair looked at the energy value displayed on the detector for a long time, and a solemn look began to appear on her serious face.

"Hmm? Another unknown energy source? Wait! This reaction is not Honkai energy, but rather a bit like... the soul steel of a holy relic? Could it be that in addition to Rita and me, the bishop has also sent other combatants to carry out the mission... But what kind of holy relic would have such a strong soul steel fluctuation..."

The girl muttered to herself, and the next moment, her specialized energy detector displayed the source of this energy reaction, the speed of movement, and automatically performed a basic analysis of the energy form...

"He came from where K424 is... Who could he be? I'm a little concerned..."

After making a decision, two pitch-black daggers appeared silently in her hands. According to the location of the energy source displayed by the detector, they intercepted the speculated moving trajectory of the unknown energy source.

345 Obstacles >>

She will completely eliminate any factors that may affect the mission!

(Although it may be a colleague, it may also be a reinforcement of Anti-Entropy. In any case, we need to confirm its identity first...)

Moving at such a high speed, Ningdi's figure was almost reduced to a blurry afterimage. When she just arrived at the path that the energy source must take, a golden light came from far away and rushed towards the front of the cave at a speed that was no slower than hers!

"This, this is...?"

Although the light was blinding, Ningdi still kept her eyes open, seemingly unaffected by the strong light. She saw clearly that the figure was obviously a silver-haired girl wearing mechanical armor, and in her hand, she was holding a huge golden cross...

(k424... holding the oath of Judah?!)

The surprise lasted only for a moment, and Ningdi came back to his senses. Looking at the girl who had come to him in the blink of an eye, he grasped the dagger in his hand and leaped forward. His body shot out like a white flash, and he stabbed the silver-haired girl with the black blade in his hand...

----bite!!

Amid the flying sparks, the loud sound of metal clashing suddenly echoed in the ruins. At the moment before the attack, the girl instantly raised the golden cross in her hand and steadily blocked the attack of the dagger. It was obvious that she had already seen Ningdi's attack.

As the cross and the dagger collided, the petite Ningdi was directly knocked away by the huge inertial force of the girl's sprint. She flexibly flipped in the air and left a gully on the ground after landing. The silver-haired girl also paused suddenly in the collision, and her sprint momentum was paused. She also fell back to the ground seemingly lightly. The heavy Judas seemed to have lost its weight in her hands, but the radial cracks that appeared under her feet when she landed and the rubble that flew up with it exposed the weight of Judas itself.

"Valkyrie?"

Stepping on the spider-web-like cracked ground, Shirley placed Judah beside her and looked expressionlessly at the girl in white robes holding two swords. The girl clenched her fists, moved her feet slightly, and took a fighting stance. But her unconscious frown revealed Shirley's irritable mood at the moment.

Just now, she was in a hurry to get to where Kiana was, so she naturally had no time to care about other things. However, Shilis did not expect that the Valkyrie of Destiny would take the initiative to come to her at this critical moment...

(Is she Sora's commander? Or is she just another mission executor? Anyway... since she launched the attack, it can be confirmed that she is an enemy...!)

On the other side, Ningdi didn't care about Shilis's cold gaze. She turned the dagger in her hand and looked at the cross next to the silver-haired girl. A hint of surprise flashed in her purple eyes.

"Target confirmed, subject K424. However, there is something unexpected. Honkai creatures can actually use the constraint key. It seems that this is important information that needs to be recorded..."

“No need to record…!”

Directly interrupting the girl's words, Shirley pressed her hand hard; on the surface of Judas, the cross unfolded instantly, and a golden spear fell into her hand.

"Because you won't be able to leave alive!"

Shilis said loudly, thrusting the spear in her hand forward! The next moment, as some kind of energy gathered, a golden cross-shaped shadow slowly emerged behind her...

Faced with Shirley's declaration of war, Ningti breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to charge in for an attack, she was surprised to find that at some point, several translucent invisible chains extended from the cross shadow behind the girl, wrapped around her right leg, and locked her in place!

Originally, in Ningdi's eyes, this silver-haired girl was just an experimental subject who had lost her power as a Herrscher. Although she had skilled fighting skills, she was still no threat. But now, this completely inexplicable phenomenon completely disrupted Ningdi's plan!

Unfortunately, she didn't know that the manifestation of the power of the Ruler of Constraint is suppression and confinement. The energy released by her Ruler Core naturally also has such properties.

Using the invisible chain to catch Ningdi off guard, the moment she completed the confinement, Shilis compressed the energy inside her body, and took this opportunity to lunge forward, instantly crossing a distance of dozens of meters, and using Fu Hua's Inch Force·Mountain Breaching, she stabbed the spear in her hand towards Ningdi's heart.

With the blessing of the Herrscher's energy, this force that was enough to collapse mountains and split the earth was all concentrated on the tip of the girl's spear, piercing Ningdi's heart. The golden tip of the spear had already taken on a hint of fiery red in the extreme acceleration! The piercing at this speed was enough to tear a person's body into pieces the moment it pierced through him!

In response, the girl, who was unable to dodge due to the restraints, quickly raised the dagger in her hand and crossed the blade precisely in front of the tip of Shirley's spear. She leaned back slightly to evade Shirley's thrust to the maximum extent possible...

The next moment, a silent and invisible wave quietly erupted between the two people's weapons! Ningdi's petite body was thrown out by an irresistible force as if it was hit by a truck, and it smashed the rock wall far behind it. Even Shilis herself took several steps back in the recoil before she withdrew her spear and stabilized her steps.

"cough......"

Ningdi half-knelt on the ground, with rocks she had smashed scattered around her. Although she looked a little embarrassed with the dust all over her body, Ningdi only coughed up a few drops of blood and then gasped for breath, and it seemed that she was not seriously injured.

Looking at the girl with blood on the corners of her mouth slowly standing up, Shirley frowned again, looking at her slightly trembling hands with a little surprise in her eyes.

"He actually blocked it..."

"Ahem...it seems that you haven't completely lost the power of a Herrscher as the intelligence said, K424."

Ningdi's cold voice made Shilis's expression a little gloomy, but she did not lose her composure. Although she was not very familiar with her ability, the stab just now was indeed a close-range attack with her full strength. Such an attack only caused the girl to be slightly injured, so this meant...

"An ordinary Valkyrie can't withstand my attack... Who are you?!"

"The S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, Ninti Apokalis."

"S-class Valkyrie?"

Hearing this, Shirley's pupils shrank, and then she clenched her teeth, anxiety and irritability written all over her face. Although the girl didn't think that this young S-rank Valkyrie could defeat her, who knew what would happen to Kiana during the battle with her...

(One after another... There is no time to waste here! So... We must resolve the battle as quickly as possible!)

Shilis took a deep breath, threw away the spear in her hand, and planned to launch a strong attack with her own ability. Suddenly, a rock wall next to her suddenly broke! A red figure flashed out from it, and in Ningdi's slightly shrunken pupils, a golden giant sword tore through the air, wrapped in a fierce wind, and fiercely slashed towards her shoulder...

--boom! !

The giant sword slashed against the rocks in the cave, and the huge force cracked the ground and threw up gravel. The moment Ningdi saw the giant sword, he slightly turned his body to avoid the slash, and quickly distanced himself, alert to the attacker in the smoke...

"Siris! Are you okay?!"

Following a familiar, somewhat anxious voice, a tall figure walked out of the smoke and dust. Seeing the crimson full-coverage Valkyrie armor, Shilis immediately realized the identity of the visitor...

"Himeko?"

Looking at the red-haired woman who was walking out slowly with some surprise, before Shilis could say anything, she was attracted by the weapon in her hand.

It was a huge golden sword, almost as tall as Jizi's body. A red gem was inlaid on the front of the hilt. Shilis was quite familiar with this long sword...

"Hey, Himeko! What is this sword......?"

346 wake up

It must be said that it was a surprise to meet Ji Zi here.

Although the two teams did not act together, it was not strange for them to meet in this not-so-big ruins.

Although she was confident that she could defeat the Valkyrie named Ningdi, no one knew how many life-saving skills the other party had and how much time it would take her...

Although that Ningdi was from the headquarters, even if Jizi might not be able to take action, it would be advisable to delay the other party first and then find a way to get around it. However, what surprised Shilis was when Jizi found the Xuanyuan Sword? Moreover, why did she seem to be able to use this sword...handy? Could it be that the incomplete stigma was enough to drive the Key of God...

"By the way, where are K...'Kiana' and Mei? Aren't they traveling with you?"

"As for them... I'm ashamed to say that we accidentally got separated after entering the ruins, and the communication connection is not stable, but we should be able to confirm that they are fine..."

Facing Shirley's still somewhat surprised eyes, Jizi looked a little unconcerned. Following Shirley's gaze, she saw the greatsword in her hand, and gently shook the sword.

"Ah, this sword...? I found it in a nearby cave. It seemed like it was attracting me, and I found it without much effort. Compared to this...are you okay, Shiris? This relic suddenly produced multiple high-energy reactions. I'm worried that it might be the resurrection of the ancient Honkai beasts..."

Looking at the cracked and damaged armor on Shirley's body, Jizi's eyes were filled with some worry. She knew that this girl, who was once mistaken for the third Herrscher by the Far East Branch, had lost her former power comparable to that of a Herrscher. Now she was just using the high-tech anti-entropy equipment to support the battle. And now, the degree of damage to the exoskeleton armor was already quite high, probably because she had experienced several hard battles...

(Has Star Ring Vortex's arm armor been completely broken? I remember that without the power support of the arm armor, she couldn't even lift her own weapon... This is a desperate situation, it seems that I came at the right time...)

Seeing that the armor was badly damaged but there were no obvious external injuries on Shilis, she breathed a sigh of relief. However, the next moment, when she saw Judas placed next to her by the silver-haired girl, Jizi couldn't help but frown again. Although she knew that Theresa had lent Judas to someone from Anti-Entropy before the ruins search operation began, Jizi thought that it would be used by the Shaniat named Claire, but she didn't expect that the user would be Shilis, whose power was in conflict with Judas...

(Using the restraint key with the physique of a Honkai creature, wouldn't that be destroying one's own martial arts? What on earth is this stupid girl thinking...)

"It doesn't matter anymore. I will protect you... Leave the rest to me!"

"Eh......"

Jizi swung the greatsword in her hand in a very heroic manner. Without noticing the subtle expression on Shirley's face, she slightly dodged and stood in front of Shirley, pointing the sword at Ningdi who had regrouped not far away, and her expression became serious.

Although Shilis is no longer as strong as before, even at her current weakness, she will never lose to an ordinary A-level Valkyrie. And this young Valkyrie was able to push her to this point, and her movements in dodging the slash were too fast. She must be a strong enemy, and an agile enemy that is her biggest headache.

Besides, she's the Valkyrie at the headquarters...

"Major of the Far East Branch, Commander of the Hyperion...A-rank Valkyrie Muryota Himeko. Do you know what you are doing?"

Ji Zi was about to launch the attack, but unexpectedly the girl in front of her started talking.

"This behavior... Are you planning to betray the Destiny Organization? Although the mission does not require me to deal with traitors, if you want to hinder my mission..."

"Stop! Wait a minute! When did you see me betraying the destiny? The lady next to you is our health teacher at St. Freya Academy. Why did you attack her? Where are you from? I have never seen a young Valkyrie like you in the destiny organization... Are you a spy for Anti-Entropy?"

After making up a random excuse, Jizi once again took up an attacking stance. Although Theresa secretly reached an agreement with the supposed enemy, Anti-Entropy, on the surface, the Far East Branch and the headquarters did not tear each other apart. As the upper echelon of the Far East Branch, Jizi naturally did not dare to wear such a big hat of "traitor" on her head. Otherwise, if she failed to defeat her here and the news leaked out, I am afraid that the fleet of the Destiny headquarters would directly drive into Saint Freya to eliminate the traitor the next day...

"I see...it seems like this is a misunderstanding."

Ningdi didn't know what was going on behind the scenes of the Far East Branch. Facing Jizi, an A-level Valkyrie who was supposed to be her colleague, she had to start her own terminal, forcibly access Jizi's terminal page with authority, and remotely control the unfolding light screen to display her public file on it.

"..."

Seeing the information displayed on the light screen, Ji Zi couldn't help but clench her teeth and fell into

Silence fell. Now, playing dumb is useless. If I still want to protect Shirley and go to war with this Valkyrie at the headquarters, I will have to tear my face off...

(Is there any other solution...)

Looking at Ji Zi's performance, Ningdi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the golden sword in Ji Zi's hand, and then focused all her attention on Shiris with a serious expression.

"As you can see, my name is Ninti Apokalis, an S-rank Valkyrie of the Destiny Organization, in the special forces directly under the bishop. During the special mission, I have the authority equivalent to the branch commander level. The forced access just now is enough to prove my current authority. The silver-haired lady over there is a wanted criminal of the headquarters. She should have invaded the Far East branch as a spy. Well, your goal here is only the holy relic here, right? Now that you have successfully obtained it, please don't interfere..."

“Uhhhhh…!”

At this moment, Jizi suddenly let out a loud cry of pain! The sudden sound startled Ningdi, and even Shilis next to her was startled and couldn't help but frowned...

Looking at Ji Zi with a ferocious expression, Ningdi tilted her head, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"...Ms. Wuliangta?"

"Ah!! This sword... There's something wrong with this relic!"

As Ji Zi shouted, a blazing flame suddenly erupted and wrapped around the golden giant sword in Ji Zi's hand! The strong flame illuminated a large area of ​​the cave, and the dangerous high-temperature flame wave was still spreading slightly, and the air seemed to be distorted by it...

"Ugh! This relic has its own will! It's taking over my body!!"

The next moment, in front of Ningdi's surprised eyes, Ji Zi swung the huge sword wrapped in flames and chopped it down at her!

Seeing the overflowing energy flames roaring towards her, Ningdi quickly retreated to avoid it. Even though she was fast enough, the high temperature still left a scorch mark on her white robe.

"Ms. Wuliangta! What are you doing...?!"

"Get out of the way! I...I can't control my movements!"

While shouting anxiously, Ji Zi's hands did not slow down at all. She wielded the heavy flaming sword tightly and relied on the huge attack range blessed by the flames to force Ningdi to retreat continuously. Soon she was forced out of this area and the battlefield was moved to a fork in the road behind...

Seeing this familiar scene, Shilis's eyes twitched slightly. Although Jizi lowered her head, she immediately knew what was going on when she saw her twitching mouth and her eyes that seemed terrified but actually indifferent...

346 Awakening>>

In response, she was silent for a moment, secretly thanked Ji Zi in her heart, and then continued to run towards her goal.

Seeing that Shirley wanted to leave, Ningdi hurriedly dodged the sword blade again, risking being burned by the flames, and broke through the gap where Jizi's attack missed, trying to stop Shirley from leaving. However, the next moment, with a voice that made her extremely annoyed, "Get out of the way!", several shadows of long swords dragged flames and fell on the road in front of her, stopping her steps. Then, Jizi's big sword attacked from behind again, forcing her to enter the dance floor of flames again...

"Ms. Wuliangta! Please cheer up! If this continues...k424 will escape!"

Faced with Ji Zi who was "controlled by the holy relic", Ning Di was not in a position to kill him directly, and could only passively dodge and defend. At this time, her cold little face was full of entanglement and anxiety. If it was a life-and-death fight, she could still kill Ji Zi with her own unique skills. But in reality, she naturally could not kill a controlled senior officer casually, not to mention that this was a member of the Far East Branch who Otto personally ordered not to interfere at will. This kind of battle with limited hands and feet was simply torture for Ning Di...

At this moment, Ningdi retreated helplessly, in return for Jizi's more vigorous attack!

"I can't do it! I can't control my body...! Ah! Get out of the way!"

The horrified tone sounded like it was real. The moment the giant sword swung in the air, Ji Zi suddenly turned around and swung her left fist wrapped in flames forward! A huge wave of flames burst out and directly hit Ningdi who was unable to dodge! She was pushed out heavily. The high-intensity energy destroyed Ningdi's Valkyrie uniform, and left a lot of burns on her petite body...

"Tsk... Is there nothing else to do?"

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Ningdi frowned, and her eyes changed. She stared seriously at Ji Zi who rushed up again with a big sword in her hand. The dagger that was originally held upside down turned slightly and was held in her hand.
