K424 of the Collapse World

"Actually... Miss Shilis stayed behind when we evacuated the Chiyou Core. She said she wanted to deal with the Honkai energy that erupted after the core was destroyed, so..."

——Dang Cang!

Before Claire could finish her words, the huge sword in Jizi's hand suddenly slipped and fell heavily to the ground. The loud noise frightened Claire so much that she stopped talking. The next moment, Jizi staggered back a step, with disbelief in her collapsed expression.

"Could it be that Shilis has already..."

"That's not true! Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Himeko. Sister Shilis is not dead!"

As Xier made her excuses, the girl squeezed out from behind the crowd and looked angrily at Ji Zi, who was a little dazed.

"So, what exactly is going on...?"

"Sister Shiris has integrated a new Herrscher core. She is now fully capable of handling the leaked Honkai energy! She can also escape unscathed afterwards. We originally planned to go back to pick her up after the bombardment ended, but the roads there have been completely blocked, and the communication has been disrupted by the energy turbulence. We have no choice but to rush to the assembly point first..."

Xier explained hurriedly, but her voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke. The next moment, as if to encourage herself, she raised her head again, and her expression became more serious.

"But...I believe in Sister Shiris! She will be fine...Absolutely not!"

At this moment, in the area close to the surface of Chi You's remains, a white shadow was rapidly shuttling through the network of rocks, and its speed did not slow down at all because of the complex terrain.

Soon, the figure stopped because she had arrived at the surface space of Chiyou's remains.

Standing on the inner edge of the pit caused by the main gun of the Glorious Covenant, Ningti took off the white hood on his head, looked at the blue sky above, took a deep breath, and then activated his terminal.

"Ninti Apokalis, reporting now, the operation of inducing K424 to destroy Chiyou's core was successful, and the second mission objective has been completed. The current environment cannot be tracked, the original mission objective was interrupted, and it will return soon... Hmm?!"

Suddenly, the girl seemed to realize something, and her voice suddenly stopped! As the dark double blades quietly appeared in her hands, she quickly turned around and looked at the silver-haired girl who appeared behind her at some point, with a solemn expression on her young face.

"k424..."

"Don't be nervous, little girl. I'm not here to fight you."

As she spoke softly, Shilis spread out her hands, simply indicating that she had no hostility, and walked directly towards Ningdi, ignoring the double blades in the girl's hands that were slightly raised in warning.

Ningdi didn't say anything, but just took the starting position for the attack. She looked alert as she watched the silver-haired girl in a black dress gradually approach her. The long back of the dress, which looked like a nun's dress, dragged on the uneven surface of the rock formation, but it was not stained with a trace of dust. Obviously, this dress was a creation of Honkai, a semi-solid equipment constructed by high-level Honkai creatures using energy.

Ningdiwei

He took a half step back, not because he was afraid, but because he began to doubt his own abilities.

Can I really win when facing the Glorious Covenant's main gun and it remains unscathed?

"Put down your weapon. Like I said just now, I won't attack you. I just have something to ask of you."

As Shilis spoke, she walked to the edge of the broken wall, raised her head, and looked at the giant battleship floating in the sky with a look of determination.

The only person in this world who can find a solution to the truth is probably that person...

"That strangely shaped warship above should be the so-called Glorious Covenant, right? Since that guy is also in it, then things will be much easier. Regarding what I want to ask of you..."

Shirley paused for a moment and looked at Ningdi, whose expression remained unchanged. Her sharp eyes reflected a creepy light.

"Right here... Take me directly to see Otto Apokalis. Don't guess what I'm planning. From what I understand, this should also be your mission."

"..."

"Don't worry about it. I'm not asking for your opinion. You're not the one who makes the final decision anyway. That guy is definitely listening... Well, based on that guy's character, if we calculate the time, the order should have arrived, right?"

The next moment, the pendant-shaped micro-communicator hanging around Ningdi's neck suddenly flickered slightly. The girl immediately put her right hand to her ear and answered the call from her direct superior...

After a few dozen seconds, Ningdi raised his head, a flash of confusion and worry in his eyes, and then he returned to his original serious look.

"I understand, Ms. K... Ms. Shilis, the headquarters agrees to your request to board the ship. Please wait a moment, the transport ship of the Glorious Covenant will arrive soon."

"Well, I'll trouble Miss Ningdi to show me the way then~"

Shiris smiled faintly, looking at Ningdi's left hand still holding the dagger, without saying anything, just standing on the edge of the inner wall of the pit, silently watching the warship above.

(After a year, we meet again...)

362 What Happened at the Same Time

At this moment, in the Tianming Far East Branch thousands of miles away from Chiyou's battlefield, a red-haired girl sat in a room in the school building, staring at the messy screen in front of her with bloodshot eyes, her fingers nimbly tapping the terminal keyboard.

——Squeak...

"Who is it! Is that Aiyin? You came just in time. You should be checking the battle situation in Hyperion, right? Tell me what the situation is like at the front line. I have to monitor the leader's health information the whole time, so I can't spare the time..."

Following the noise at the door, the red-haired girl sitting in front of the terminal quickly raised her head and saw her companion walking in from the door behind her. She waved at her and her eyes returned to her terminal again.

On the complicated terminal screen, a human figure was displayed, and some basic test values ​​such as the heart rate and blood pressure of the target could be vaguely seen next to it. In addition to the first time, there were various difficult to understand scientific characters and data. Tesla used this data to monitor Walter's physical condition and, when necessary, sent his armored forces to cover his withdrawal from the battlefield.

After all, with Walter Yang's current physical condition, he must be as cautious as possible when he goes into battle. Not to mention the hidden illness he suffered in the second collapse, the Herrscher core left by the previous Herrscher Joyce was not fully compatible with him from the beginning...

When she got the news of Chiyou, although Walter took the initiative to go to battle, Tesla could not let the leader put herself in danger. All she could do was to prevent emergencies on the battlefield in this way.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Tesla. The current intelligence from the front line shows that Chiyou has completely stopped its activities. Hyperion and the Glorious Covenant of Destiny are working together to eliminate the remaining Honkai beasts on Chiyou's body. Cocolia withdrew her troops in time, but the Destiny headquarters does not seem to plan to track them down... Speaking of which, is there anything wrong with Mr. Walter's condition?"

"So far, nothing has happened, but if he continues to squander his power like this, it will be a bit troublesome... It's really inexplicable. The headquarters of the Mandate of Heaven has sent warships here, why doesn't that idiot retreat..."

Tesla frowned, looking at the red part of the human figure on the screen, and said angrily. But the next moment, she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly raised her head and grabbed the sleeve of the blue-haired girl beside her.

"Oh, by the way, Aiyin! I just saw that the reaction of Shilis's biochip disappeared. Is she okay?"

"Ciris's biochip? We haven't received any combat intelligence, and we don't know her situation. After all, the communication is completely blocked, and only Hyperion can barely connect with the frontline troops... Although we have formed an alliance with the Far East Branch, we still don't have the authority to directly access their command center..."

After a brief thought, Einstein spoke calmly.

Seeing the obvious worry and irritation on the face of the slightly tired red-haired girl in front of him, Einstein could guess with his very hair what was on this red-haired girl's mind.

In response, Einstein drove her down from the terminal without hesitation and sat on the work chair in front of the terminal himself.

Given Tesla's indecisive state, it would be difficult to deal with if something went wrong.

"Okay, Dr. Tesla, since you're so worried about your Shilis, why don't you go check the situation over there? Leave the work here to me."

"Eh? But you..."

"This is my job, Dr. Tesla. Don't worry about my condition. That little injury can't be used as an excuse for laziness. Besides, I won't let you idle. Anyway, I will take over here, and you should do something more suitable for yourself now. Maybe she needs your help now..."

Einstein said, and he grabbed the keyboard and sat in front of the terminal to continue Tesla's monitoring work. Although Einstein's head was still wrapped in gauze, seeing her resolute action, Tesla couldn't say anything. After all, she really wanted to confirm the safety of Shirley.

Therefore, Tesla could only make a mental note of the violent silver-haired nun, nodded to Einstein, thanked him, and quickly left the room and ran to the Far East Branch's intelligence center. There, she could directly obtain real-time intelligence from Hyperion...

Listening to Tesla's footsteps gradually fading away, Einstein smiled and turned his attention to the work in front of him. He checked Walter's current physical condition information and became a little confused.

"Wait... the battle was over before the Glorious Covenant of Destiny arrived? Weird... According to Theresa's previous description, that number of Honkai beasts would never be annihilated so easily, unless there was some super-power involved in the battle..."

She muttered to herself, remembering the second collapse battlefield she had witnessed, and her pale hands could not help but clench the terminal. But soon, her state returned to normal.

"But... the leader is still in good condition, and he obviously didn't forcefully activate the power of the Herrscher Core. And the Valkyrie troops under Theresa's command definitely don't have the power to annihilate these Honkai beasts on their own, and the Glorious Covenant didn't send any extra troops. What exactly happened..."

On the other side, Tesla was running breathlessly in the corridor, ignoring the strange looks from the girls of Saint Freya. Thinking of the situation of a certain girl, she couldn't help but speed up her pace again.

Behind those crimson eyes, which were already covered with a layer of mist, there was panic that could not be concealed.

(Why did her biochip stop responding? Was it because of too much interference in the communication, or was it because the chip was damaged by external forces... What a joke! That kind of nano-level integrated chip would not be damaged even if the brain was crushed... Damn it! What was I thinking! How could Hillis encounter such a thing! What on earth is going on... What if something happened to Hillis...)

Worry makes her confused. After she was freed from the busy monitoring work, she realized what the biochip's loss of response meant. At this moment, Tesla had completely lost his calmness as a first-class scientist, and the only thought in his mind was "confirming her safety."

Over the past few years, Tesla got used to the fact that the girl always got into danger and was able to escape it. But now, if time could go back and she met the girl five years ago, she would not have listened to her and connected the Houkai Reactor to her body...

(If you hadn’t become strong then, you wouldn’t be doing what you’re doing now, you wouldn’t be in those dangers, and you wouldn’t have left my side from the beginning...!)

In his wild thoughts, Tesla finally arrived at his destination - the intelligence center of the Far East Branch of the Mandate.

Standing in front of the Far East Branch building, Tesla calmed his breath and walked straight forward.

As the Far East Branch's top fighters were out in full force, the original command center seemed deserted, with almost no one around, and no one knew if there were still people inside. However, for Tesla, none of this mattered. After all, as long as she could touch the terminal controller, she could crack the encrypted intelligence system in minutes and get the information she wanted!

However, before her hand could touch the door handle of the building, a hard object suddenly touched her waist...

"You are Dr. Tesla, right?"

"..."

A low voice that could not be distinguished between male and female came from behind, and Tesla's movements stopped. In the early days of her defection from the Mandate of Heaven, Tesla had experienced the pursuit of Valkyries and the pursuit and interception of agents while she was displaced. Therefore, Tesla was not unfamiliar with such situations, and she also knew clearly what the tubular object against her waist was.

Should be.

Where's the gun...

Although it was completely insignificant in front of the Valkyrie, it was more than enough to deal with me who was unarmed.

The next moment, a strong hand grabbed Tesla's shoulder and pulled her away from the front of the building and pushed her to an inconspicuous place on the side.

362 What happened at the same time >>

"who are you?"

Looking at the deserted environment around her, Tesla gave up calling for help and asked in a deep voice. Her excited brain quickly cooled down. At this moment, a guess about the other party's identity emerged from her mind.

Tesla knew very well who had sent this man, who had sneaked into Saint Freya without anyone noticing and accurately targeted himself as a member of Anti-Entropy.

(Are they from the Destiny Organization? Damn it! This is troublesome...)

Tesla clenched her teeth and looked at the intelligence center in front of her. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing. The situation of Shirley has not been determined yet. Will she become a burden...

"It doesn't matter who I am. Someone wants to see you. Please come with me. Don't worry. Although we have different positions, as colleagues, he should not hurt you..."

(...colleagues?)

"Hey! What are you talking about......"

Tesla was stunned when she heard this word. She was about to say something, but the next moment, a neither heavy nor light blow hit her neck accurately. Tesla's vision quickly became blurred and her body became out of control.

Before her consciousness returned to darkness, she subconsciously opened her eyes and tried to look behind her. However, the last thing she saw was a strand of blue hair...

After confirming that Tesla was unconscious, the tall figure in a white dress stood up, glanced at the terminal, and then picked up the unconscious red-haired girl.

"Alas, he actually did this to his colleagues. I wonder what Lord Fenrir was thinking... Never mind. It has nothing to do with me anyway. I'm afraid this is just to bring out the so-called 'Kiana Kaslana'..."

Kerry sighed softly and turned to walk to the other end of the academy.

After receiving the information that "Kiana is not in Saint Freya for the time being", the task assigned to him by Fenrir became like this.

Although he disdained Fenrir's actions, the mission was still a mission after all, and he would still complete it seriously.

Directly crossing the wall that was useless to the Valkyrie, just as Kerry was about to take Tesla away from St. Freya's Academy, a soul-stirring sound exploded in his mind!

"I found it... the rat that sneaked into the school."

"...!"

In extreme surprise, before Kerry's pupils had fully dilated, a girl with long purple-gray hair had already appeared right in front of him!

"That won't do... The master told me to protect this place before he left."

The collapse energy slowly gathered, and her slender body was instantly covered by purple-white armor, and huge blue dragon wings spread out from her back! Then, an unimaginable terrifying aura burst out from the girl's body...

"Sir, may I ask...what do you want to do to the master's friend?"

The girl's cold voice, coupled with this terrible sense of oppression, made Crichton feel as if he was falling into an icy cave. He watched the girl's right hand wrapped in purple flames slowly reaching out to him, but he was unable to do anything...

However, what Kerry did not expect was that the energy in the girl's hand, which seemed to be enough to destroy the soul, suddenly disappeared completely the moment it touched his body.

“Wait! What is…?”

As Kerry had a dazed expression, the purple-haired girl grabbed his collar and moved closer as if to confirm something, her expression then becoming confused.

"Why is there the master's aura on you?!"

In the sky above the Shenzhou Sea, a large transport plane was slowly ascending, approaching the huge monster that was floating higher...

The interior of the transport plane was completely empty. In the entire carrying space that was over fifty meters long and twenty meters wide, there were only two thin figures. In addition, since the energy-driven advanced aircraft did not have the complicated noise of ordinary transport planes, the cabin without any human voices was dead silent.

Shiris leaned against the side of the cabin with her arms folded, and the Oath of Judas, which was stained with purple Houkai energy, was placed beside her. She scanned the environment in the cabin expressionlessly. With her extremely keen perception of energy, she could easily find the monitors hidden in all directions around her, as well as some kind of high-energy reaction, suspected to be a detonator, sandwiched between the cabin walls.

Glancing at Ningdi at the other end of the cabin, Shilis nodded her lips, and a slight laugh broke the silence.

The tranquility of a space.

"I say... isn't it time for you to put away the things in your hands? We've already come to this place, why are you still so vigilant? Do you still think I will do anything to you?"

Hearing this, Ningdi turned his right hand holding the dagger, and it seemed that he had no intention of putting down the weapon.

"Because you are a Herrscher... In my opinion, this reason is enough."

"Hmph... If you don't mind being tired, just keep holding on to your precious weapon. You're really worrying about nothing..."

After saying that, Shilis turned her head and looked towards the window behind her. Staring at the blue sea under the clouds, the girl's eyes gradually became deep.

"As expected, I still want to say...thank you."

"......What?"

"Just now... at the center of the seal, thank you for saving my companion. After all, at that time, even if I used my own power to save her, I couldn't guarantee that she would be cured before the bombardment reached her, so..."
