K424 of the Collapse World

"Hehe... Please take a seat first, Ms. Shilis. I have a feeling this will be a long conversation. Also, since you hate me so much, there's no need to say such flattering words."

"..."

Glancing coldly at Otto, Shilis only felt more and more annoyed when she saw the man's unhurried manner. But remembering her main purpose, she still suppressed her anger as much as possible, walked quickly to the chair opposite Otto, and sat down heavily. The long hem of the dress fell to the ground, but the girl didn't care at all, just tapped the table lightly, expressionless.

"Now, can we start talking properly?"

"Of course... Miss Shilis, but before that, there is actually something I am more concerned about."

As he spoke, Otto also sat down, with a meticulous and elegant demeanor, as if he was not affected at all by what Shirley said. He stared at the cold-looking silver-haired girl, with an inexplicable eagerness in his eyes.

"According to what you just said, in the new world after the reset, the people who originally died will be reborn again according to the original development trajectory, so..."

"Don't dream, I know what you are thinking."

Before Otto could finish, Shirley interrupted him rudely, looking at him with a sneer of contempt.

"You think that if you retain your consciousness until the next era after the world is reset, you can be reunited with the person you love, right?"

"......"

Faced with Otto's acquiescence, Shirley snorted lightly, crossed her hands and supported them under her chin.

"Haha... Although someone once told me that the soul is immortal, we still cannot prove whether the soul really exists. Even if you can sneak into the

In this era, history may not follow the original trajectory, and even the Apokalis family may not exist. Taking a step back, even if Kallen can appear again in the next era, she may not be the Kallen you know, not to mention that she has no memory of you at all..."

Seeing the sadness in the blond man's eyes gradually fade away and his expression return to normal, Shirley sighed, then looked away, her tone becoming gentler.

"I know that perhaps... the whole world is not as precious to you as that person, but now, I hope you can think about the problem objectively. Since you have conducted many body replacement experiments, you should know that... if a person loses her past memories and is filled with new memories, then she is destined to no longer be the same person. I myself once fell into a vortex of memory confusion and could not extricate myself, I can assure you of this."

"So, Ms. Shilis... according to your subjective opinion, it seems that you are more inclined to destruction and collapse?"

"..."

Otto's sudden question stunned the talkative girl. She lowered her head and shook her head with a slightly confused look.

"I don't know... No matter what the process was, our ancestors eventually chose to reset the world. Although the hundreds of thousands of reincarnations before were infuriating, this compromise at least continued the survival of mankind. That's why we can live in this world in this era... But, I don't want to hurt the people I know, and I don't want to watch them die in despair in the reset of the world! But... If you choose to be an enemy of Honkai, it will most likely lead to the complete destruction of the entire human civilization! I... I am not qualified to make decisions on behalf of all mankind, so..."

"Haha... After all that, aren't you also thinking mainly based on your own selfish desires? Miss Shilis, I almost understand your point of view. In that case, let me tell you my own opinion on this."

Otto interrupted, looking at the girl who seemed to frown slightly because her speech was interrupted, and a faint smile appeared on his face again.

"Those so-called ancestors' actions seemed to protect the continuation of human civilization, but in fact they left this problem to the people of the next era to worry about... Of course, it is also possible that they themselves do not have the ability to solve the collapse, so this can also be attributed to their own incompetence!"

Otto's sudden serious voice made Shirley open her eyes wide. The next moment, Otto's next words made her feel something other than hatred towards this man for the first time since the laboratory incident a year ago...

"Making a choice for all of humanity? I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Ordinary people who know nothing about Honkai and don't even have the ability to touch the most basic and superficial nature of the world, what qualifications do they have to participate in these things? Maintaining ignorant happiness and continuing to live the same way is the best outcome for them."

Not caring about the surprise in the silver-haired girl's eyes, Otto closed his eyes and slowed down his breathing slightly.

"If you want to talk about my subjective thoughts, you have just analyzed them very clearly. Since you already know about Kallen, I will not hide anything from you. Kallen Kaslana from other civilization eras cannot be the Kallen I recognize... Although she is dead now, but... Compared to the hopeless next era, at least I have found a way to revive her. Therefore, I will never allow the world where Kallen exists to be destroyed easily!"

366 Method to Break the Cycle of Reincarnation

"...In that case, Mr. Otto, have we reached a consensus?"

After listening to Otto's declaration, and after a brief moment of surprise, Shirley spoke first to break the silence between the two. Although she was a little surprised at the man's courage, Shirley remained calm. When she decided to give the choice to Otto, she would not be surprised no matter what decision the man made.

Because no matter what choice you make, there will only be two possible outcomes.

Follow the cleansing of the collapse and continue to reset the world; or destroy the collapse and welcome the arrival of Judgment Day...

With a slight sigh, Shirley bent down and lay on the table with a slightly tired look. It was the first time that she looked so relaxed when facing Otto.

"Speaking of which, it's really incredible... I never thought that when I met you for the second time, I would not rush up to you and tear you apart, but instead sit opposite you so calmly..."

Hearing Shirley's slightly sarcastic tone, Otto smiled and shook his head, with cunning in his green eyes.

"If that's the case, isn't what I'm doing now strange? Your body was originally an experimental subject created by me. When I met you, I should have directly locked you in the incubator instead of talking to you like a distinguished guest like this, right?"

"Huh...Now I can really do that.

"I don't know what to do. Do you want to give it a try? You still have a lot of spare bodies, right?"

She leaned her head on her arm, and although she looked relaxed, the girl's eyes were still sharp as she looked at Otto. As she spoke, some golden particles drifted from her body, revealing a dangerous aura.

"You are so childish and arrogant, I'm surprised you can still do that... I used to think you were the reincarnation of Kallen, but now it seems that even the naive Kallen is more mature than you."

He teased the girl in front of him as if he were a friend, but that was all. Although they reached a temporary consensus, their relationship was not to the point of joking with each other. Otto could clearly sense that Shirley had only temporarily suppressed some of her subjective feelings. In fact, her hostility towards him had not diminished much...

Before Hillis could retort, Otto clapped his hands, ending the explosive argument.

"Enough of the jokes... Although I'm glad we can reach a consensus, at the end of the day, before we find a solution to the problem, what we are discussing now is just paper talk."

Quickly changing the topic from joking to the main topic, Otto said seriously, looking at the girl in front of him who was also serious, and once again put forward his analysis.

"According to you, the so-called Herrscher of the End has emphasized many times that humans will never be able to resist the outside civilization that imposes Honkai on us. Haha... Since it can create something like Honkai, we should assume that what it said is right and that those things cannot compete with it. Then, how can we avoid the 'judgment' of those guys after eliminating Honkai?"

"Nonsense...If I knew what to do, I wouldn't be here looking for you."

Although she listened carefully to Otto's words, Shirley was still rude verbally. However, Otto just glanced at her lightly, not caring about anything, and continued to speak, his eyes becoming deeper.

"I just mentioned the most troublesome things in the future. Although our biggest problem right now is how to defeat the Honkai that has reset us hundreds of thousands of times. However, if we don't look at the long-term, even if we can eventually defeat Honkai, we will only get the worst ending in the end..."

"Otherwise, even if we don't want to be reset again, resistance means being eliminated, and there's nowhere to hide..."

"hehe......"

"What are you doing? You suddenly have a sickeningly confident smile... Could it be that you have figured something out?"

But when she suddenly saw the inexplicable smile on the man's face, although Hillary didn't know what the other person was thinking, she couldn't help but feel some expectation.

"That's about it. I just suddenly thought of something interesting..."

The next moment, the man's answer made the girl's breathing pause slightly, and her eyes lit up.

"Ms. Shilis, how much do you know about the 'dimensional plane'?"

"Dimensional plane...?"

"Don't understand? It doesn't matter. It's not a complicated thing. Let me explain it briefly. Several decades ago, when the Destiny Organization was researching space-time technology, they accidentally observed other dimensions that existed parallel to our world... It does not belong to the four-dimensional space-time we know, but is truly 'another universe'."

Hearing this, a girl with short blue hair flashed through her mind. Shilis opened her eyes wide in realization.

“Could it be…?!”

"Oh? It seems that you are not completely ignorant... That's right, it is the other-dimensional space that we named the 'Sea of ​​Quantum'! It was not until two years ago that we finally developed an experimental device that could interfere with the Sea of ​​Quantum with the help of some technologies left over from previous civilizations, and then we completely confirmed the existence of the Sea of ​​Quantum. So, I sent out the Valkyrie, used that device to enter the 'Sea of ​​Quantum', and conducted some investigations..."

Looking at the surprised Shirley, Otto paused for a moment, organized his words, and then spoke again.

"In the parallel world, there are naturally isotopes of the Milky Way. The coordinate point where we can interfere is exactly the other Earth corresponding to the Earth we live in..."

"That is a brand new world. Although there are many things that our planet does not have, it is still a planet dominated by human civilization. I won't go into details now. What I want to tell you is that there is no 'collapse' disaster there. Miss Hillis, do you know what this means?"

"..."

"There is no doubt that the advanced civilization is targeting the entire human civilization, but the humans in another dimension have not been attacked by Honkai. Why is that? Even a low-level civilization like humans can observe the parallel space, so there is no reason why they cannot reach that parallel universe. However, for those parallel space humans who are almost identical to us, the two spaces can interfere with each other, but they did not sanction this so-called "threatening race"

, then, can we guess the reason? For example... "

Hearing this, Shilis raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but interrupt Otto.

"Wait a minute, Otto, isn't your focus a bit strange? It's a bit far-fetched to draw a conclusion based on just this little thing. And...even if you know this, what are you going to do?"

"Hehe... I haven't said anything yet, Ms. Shilis. Although we haven't fully explored the Quantum Ocean yet, isn't this another way? Now, our goals are the same, don't you want to know? In theory, there is a way to break this reset cycle... Of course, it's only in theory."

Looking at the slightly focused girl, Otto smiled and began to tell his real plan...

St. Freya Academy......

In the school's infirmary, a girl with messy long red hair was lying on the hospital bed. Her eyes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes, looking at a familiar room with a confused look.

"Hmm... this place seems to be...?"

"You're awake, Dr. Tesla."

Before she regained consciousness, a familiar cold voice came from beside her. Hearing the voice, Tesla was slightly startled, then turned his head and cast his eyes on the blue-haired girl sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Ain? What's going on... Why am I in Shirley's infirmary? What on earth..."

"Don't you remember? According to Benares, you were kidnapped and knocked unconscious by an agent suspected to be from Cocolia. Of course, she didn't succeed, and Benares saved you, so you are here instead of waking up in the prison of the radicals..."

"Ah! I remember now... Damn it, the colleague that the agent was talking about was that guy Cocolia! This is too much! At this critical moment, he actually found a chance to attack me, and it is clear that the matter of Chiyou has not been completely resolved... How long have I been unconscious?"

"Not long, about half an hour or so."

"I see. It didn't take long... By the way, where is the female agent who knocked me out?"

366 Methods to Break the Cycle of Reincarnation >>

As she spoke, Tesla had already turned over and sat up, hurriedly putting on her clothes. She could still remember what she was planning to do before the accident.

With the help of the Far East Branch's intelligence center, I will try my best to assist the battle on the front line. More importantly, I will get her news...

"Don't worry, he has been handed over to the Valkyrie Corps of Saint Freya Academy for custody, and will be interrogated in detail later. Also, Dr. Tesla, you don't have to be so anxious. The battle against the Judgment-level Honkai beasts has been completely over, and the Far East Branch departments are currently handling post-war affairs."

"......ah?"

Hearing this, Tesla was stunned and stopped his busy movements.

"It has ended?"

"That's right. When Chiyou's core was destroyed, the battle was considered over. The Honkai beasts that were parasitic in its body were no longer a threat after losing their Honkai energy supply. It was not difficult to destroy them."

Einstein said softly, leaning over to pick up the glasses that Tesla had accidentally dropped while fiddling with his clothes, and put them back on the table.

"Our work is done, Dr. Tesla."

Hearing this, Tesla was silent for a moment, took out his personal terminal from his pocket, put down the clothes in his hand, and was about to lie down again, but he seemed to suddenly remember something and sat up hurriedly.

"This...Okay, hey! Wait a minute, since the battle is completely over, then Shilis must have returned, right?"

Einstein's eyes shifted slightly.

"...I knew you were most concerned about her. The battle is over, communications have been restored, and we can naturally connect to her terminal and confirm her location. However, what follows is not good news. I hope you can be prepared in advance, Dr. Tesla."

Hearing this, the red-haired girl opened her eyes wide and her expression suddenly became nervous.

"What did you say?! What happened to her? Is she injured?! Is the situation serious? Tell me quickly, Aiyin! Could it be that her biochip was damaged before because of this..."

"Please don't make any assumptions, Dr. Tesla. We don't know the specific situation either... Shiris didn't reunite with Hyperion's troops afterwards, but the command center did find her terminal location, and finally got feedback on the location coordinates... It was on the battleship at the headquarters of the Destiny, inside the Glorious Covenant..."

Looking at Tesla, who was breathing heavily due to nervousness, Einstein tried to slow down her tone as much as possible, trying to make the situation sound less serious. However, her well-intentioned euphemism was doomed to be useless.

"That means she fell into the hands of the Destiny Organization? Isn't this the worst possible scenario?!"

"This... I'm not completely sure. It's possible that the Skymanship Headquarters just retrieved her terminal, and she herself..."

"In that case, isn't she still missing? Oh, right! What about those girls who acted with Shilis? What did they say?"

"about this......"

Hearing this, Einstein immediately looked embarrassed. According to the information she got from Hyperion, Cialis stayed in the core of Chiyou, and faced the bombardment of the Glorious Covenant in order to prevent the explosion of Honkai energy after the core was destroyed... Although Claire repeatedly emphasized that she was safe, if she really told Tesla this information directly, what would this impulsive guy think?

(The biochip was destroyed when she became a Herrscher, but it’s hard to explain this in a short time. Given Tesla’s personality, he would definitely think that Shiris was destroyed by the bombardment of the Glorious Covenant, and the reaction of the biochip disappeared...)

On the other side, Tesla didn't know what Einstein was thinking at the moment. Looking at the stammering blue-haired girl, he took a deep breath, got out of bed, and walked towards the door in his hospital gown.

"No need to say, Ain. I'm afraid the information you have here is not very accurate... Hyperion's current location is about 2,000 nautical miles away from Saint Freya. In this case..."

"Dr. Tesla, are you planning to..."

"I'm going to the battlefield over there on Hyperion, too! I have to rescue her! If she falls into the hands of Destiny, Shiris will definitely be... No, I can't let her suffer that again!"

Shenzhou, over the East China Sea...

In the command room at the top of the Brilliant Covenant, Shiris and Otto continued to discuss. The terminal was set to do not disturb mode in advance, and coupled with the full concentration on the conversation, Shiris was destined not to realize that those anxious partners sent hundreds of communication requests to her terminal...

"Is this kind of thing...really possible?"

"I can't guarantee it to you. It's just a hypothesis after all... But doing this is the only way we can find to avoid the 'judgment'! After all, humans have never succeeded even once before, so naturally there is no experience from the past for us to learn from."

Looking at the girl with a look of astonishment, Otto smiled and put away the light screen in front of her. These materials that were supposed to be top-secret files were sealed again. Otto once again turned his gaze to the girl in front of him, waiting for her answer.

"Since this is the only way at the moment... well, since this is an area we know nothing about anyway, there's no point in hesitating any further, so why not just let go and give it a try!"

As Shirley responded, she raised her head and her determined eyes met Otto's.

"According to you, if you want to create an intersection between reality and the quantum sea, you must create a 'time-space window' with a very long period. The only way to enter directly is to rely on a relic recorded in the previous civilization..."

"That's right. According to the deciphered records of the previous civilization, it is a relic of a previous civilization called 'Sea Abyss City'. It contains lost technology that can interfere with the Quantum Sea. The exact location is still unknown, but there are intelligence records that the Anti-Entropy Organization seems to have relevant information about Sea Abyss City..."

Facing Otto's scrutinizing gaze, Shirley simply spread her hands and shrugged.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Otto. I've never heard of these things. Although I can be considered an executor of Anti-Entropy, I am not qualified to contact the core of the organization... Of course, it may also be the exclusive intelligence of the radicals, and we conservatives naturally don't know it."

"But the ruins of Haiyuan City are the core of the plan. If we can't find it, no matter what we say, it will be meaningless... You don't have to worry about this matter. I will mobilize the power of destiny to find the ruins. But in some aspects, I will definitely need some assistance..."
