K424 of the Collapse World

“Well… if that’s the case…!”

After hearing this, Xing, who had basically understood the situation, was about to take some action, but before he could even draw his sword, Xier, who saw that the situation was not good, restrained him from behind.

Although she possesses the strange power to control time, if she is caught like this before the ability is activated, it will be completely over for Xing.

"Wait a moment! Sister Xing, Dr. Tesla is Sister Shirley's benefactor. She will never hurt Sister Shirley! Calm down first..."

"Let me go! You useless Xier... Mom has made it very clear just now, this annoying red-haired guy is the culprit who killed Sister Xilisi!"

"Sister Shirley is not dead yet! Xing, Bronya won't allow you to talk nonsense..."

"..."

Seeing the situation become chaotic again, Tesla frowned and looked around at the girls around him. Without asking anything, he walked forward in silence and picked up the communicator that Xing had dropped on the ground.

"Tesla! After you're tired of playing with Shirley, are you planning to do something to Bronya and Seele again..."

Hearing this, Tesla took a deep breath and suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at Cocolia, whose eyes were full of anger on the light screen.

"Shut up! Cocolia, I don't care what misunderstandings you had about me before, but I'm telling you now! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. I came here only to find Shilis and save her from the hands of destiny...

After we successfully find her, we will settle all the old and new accounts together! Remember this clearly, don’t think I will just let it go just like that!”

Tesla was inexplicably angry and shook his head, forcing himself to stay awake. He slowly walked towards Jiuxiao, who was standing in the crowd at a loss, and clapped his hands in front of her.

"Okay, Jiuxiao, I hope you can tell me in detail what the whole story is like..."

In the command room of the supreme leader on the flagship of Destiny, the silver-haired girl standing in the central open space had her pupils slightly dilated and was covering the outside of her right forearm with her left hand.

The bright red blood flowed down her arm, dripping onto the metal floor beside her feet, and soon gathered into a shallow pool of blood...

Although her arm was bleeding profusely, the girl did not show any panic expression. She just looked at the man standing opposite her with complicated eyes, not caring about the blood that soaked half of her body.

"A familiar force... No wonder you seem so confident, Otto."

"Of course you will feel familiar, Ms. Shilis. The person who defeated you ten years ago possessed this power... Now, are you willing to believe that Destiny has the power to defeat the Herrscher?"

Otto said calmly. Behind him, some kind of blood-red energy condensed into sharp spirals, densely protruding from the energy torrent around him, and pointed the tip at the injured and bleeding silver-haired girl.

"Or do you want to continue to experience the power of "Holy Blood"? Although I don't care, if you continue like this, your Herrscher body will be destroyed. Is it okay even if it's like this?"

Hearing this, Shilis laughed and released her left hand that was covering the wound. Her bloody right arm was immediately covered by golden light. The next moment, as the light quickly faded, the scars and blood on her right arm disappeared completely, and even the torn clothes were restored.

Even without the power of creation, as long as the Honkai energy is consumed, the energy state of the Herrscher's body can be repaired. After becoming a Herrscher by integrating the power of the core, Shiris naturally possessed this ability.

369 Final Agreement >>

“Heh… stop bragging. Do you think you can defeat all Herrschers with this energy that can dissolve Honkai to a certain extent? The injury I suffered just now was just to experience your attack. If I want, I can shatter all the sources of your self-confidence right now!”

After saying that, Shilis quickly raised her hand, and with a golden glow, she suddenly grasped the nearest blood-red spiral cone, and with a light squeeze, she easily broke it. The broken spiral quickly lost its activity and turned into a pool of sticky dark red liquid that flowed down from the girl's palm.

"Defenses that can dissolve Honkai energy are only effective when Honkai is not yet active. As long as Honkai energy becomes slightly active, resistance to this kind of thing will be greatly enhanced. If it is a Herrscher-level Honkai defense, it is easy to resist this kind of thing! If this is your trump card, it is too disappointing, Bishop Otto."

A golden light flashed in the palm of her hand, and the blood stains remaining on Shirley's hand dissipated, returning to its previous spotless and holy appearance.

"So, it's not completely finished yet... Miss Shilis, you have to admit that the Holy Blood does have the ability to kill the Herrscher in theory. Just imagine, if the attack that hit your arm just now hit your core, what would happen?"

"Do you think that in actual combat, any Herrscher would stand still and not defend himself, allowing you to attack? It's just a theory after all... In addition to those divine machines, there are also special Valkyries as secret weapons. If your trump card is only this level, it will not convince me... After all, I don't care whether your beloved woman can be resurrected. Spending time trying something that is meaningless to me is just to borrow the power of your destiny. Now, unless you can show me the hope of defeating the Herrscher of the End, our contract will have to be modified."

With her hands folded in front of her chest, Shirley raised her head arrogantly, waiting for the response from the blond man in front of her. If Otto really had the ability to end the Honkai, Shirley would not mind using her spare time to help him find a way to revive that person. But now, the "holy blood" that Otto so highly praised made Shirley feel extremely disappointed.

Conventional weapons cannot break the Herrscher's defense. Although the so-called Holy Blood can do it, it is based on the Herrscher's complete relaxation of his Collapse Energy.

If the Herrscher is compared to an invulnerable pufferfish, the Holy Blood is like a sharp blade that can gut the pufferfish. However, this blade can only hurt the pufferfish when it is not inflated. It is such a thing with extremely limited use...

But in fact, which pufferfish doesn't swell up when it encounters danger? So in Shilis's opinion, this thing is completely useless. It would be better to directly dispatch the most elite female warriors instead of pinning their hopes on this thing.

God went to kill the Herrscher by force.

"Ms. Shilis, Holy Blood is not an independent weapon, but an additional weapon that anyone can use. It can be used to make weapons, or mixed into the artificial stigmata of the Valkyrie... Moreover, the final Holy Blood should be able to directly invalidate Honkai energy. Do you know what this means?"

"But the fact is that you haven't completed it yet, and it's even unknown whether you can complete it..."

"No, at most three years! I can complete the final debugging of the Holy Blood! In fact, there is only one step left before it is 100% complete. It is only a matter of time to find an element that can act as a coagulant... Believe me, after the Holy Blood is completely completed, and a powerful enough weapon is created based on the power of the Holy Blood, the final Herrscher will not be worth mentioning!"

"Oh...? Interesting. Since you are so confident, it seems that this thing is not as useless as it seems..."

Seeing the light in the girl's eyes, Otto smiled.

"That's right... So, we need to put the real enemies first, and the way to avoid them has been made very clear just now... As long as we can find the location of Haiyuan City, the plan can proceed normally. But before that, as a collaborator, it doesn't matter if you do me a small favor?"

At this point, Otto snapped his fingers. The next moment, as the door of the command room opened again, the blonde Valkyrie pushed another blue-haired girl with a desperate expression on her face in and walked in front of Otto and the others.

"Lord Otto, we have arrived at our target."

"Very good, Yulandel, your mission is over."

Otto was talking to the blonde girl, and Shiris turned her head. After seeing the blue-haired girl's appearance, she couldn't help but frowned.

"Ciel...? Hey! What did you do? Why is she here?"

"Eh? Shiris?"

Hearing Shirley's question to Otto, the blue-haired girl subconsciously raised her head, and when she saw Shirley, she was stunned.

"How could it be...were you caught by them too?"

"No, it's just..."

Otto clapped his hands, interrupting the interaction between the two girls, and smiled faintly as he looked at Yulandel's leaving back.

"She should be the real Herrscher of Death... Miss Shilis, as a companion, you must know her. Then, her power should be able to reproduce the miracle of Experiment No. 526, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Shilis glared at Otto in annoyance to express her dissatisfaction. But in the end, she sighed softly.

"Okay... I accept your commission, but I can't guarantee success. Besides, I won't leave the responsibility of 'saving the world' entirely to you, destiny. You know what I mean."

"That would be great. If you can convince those stubborn people who hold a grudge against me, then go ahead. Happy cooperation, Ms. Shilis..."

At the same time, somewhere a hundred miles away from the sea where Chi You was, the mecha troops sent by ME to assist were on their way back.

Among them, a small transport plane mixed in with the mechanical troops and returned with them. On the transport plane, with heavy breathing mixed with light coughing, the brown-haired man sat in the cabin and threw out a tissue stained with thick blood.

"The situation is getting worse and worse... Maybe I shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter in the first place. The flagship of the Destiny Headquarters has joined the battle. Even without my power, it won't be a problem to deal with that Honkai Beast..."

Walter muttered to himself, and then his eyes fixed. Before the waste paper he threw in the air landed, the small space around it suddenly became distorted, and then, in a fleeting crimson singularity, the small piece of paper completely disappeared, without even a trace of debris left.

"I can basically maintain my condition... No matter what, I can't fall down before I complete the Moonlight Throne... If we count the time, it should be enough to hold on until then."

The man continued to talk to himself. The next moment, as if he suddenly realized something, Walter thoughtfully picked up the communicator in his pocket, and when he saw the source of a certain encrypted communication, his brows furrowed tightly.

"At this time... Wait, the source of the current communication terminal is actually inside the flagship of Tianming?!"

After a brief contemplation, Walter made a decision. He raised his hand with a serious expression and pressed the communication button.

"I'm Walter, Executor Shilis, what's going on?"

"Master, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. In fact, I hope to have a face-to-face conversation with you alone. There is something extremely important that I need to report to you..."

370 Primary Target

"you are

So...when Silis reunited with you guys after that, she had already become a Herrscher?"

On the Hyperion, after the quarreling people finally calmed down temporarily, Tesla listened to the explanations of Claire and other companions of Shirley, and his expression became surprised.

"Yeah... yes. We almost died at the hands of Kiana who was out of control. When Siris came out with the Oath of Judah to stop her, she had already become like that. According to her, it was a kind of Herrscherization..."

Surrounded by the crowd, although Claire felt a little uncomfortable with the burning gazes of Tesla and Cocolia, she still tried to remain calm and told them what had happened in the Chiyou Sealed Area not long ago.

"Well... I'm not sure if what Shiris said is true, but what is certain is that she did have power close to that of a Herrscher in that state..."

"Wait a minute, you said she has Judas's Oath? I remember that Shilis's body is already in the state of a semi-Honkai creature. Anything related to Soul Steel is a deadly poison to her... Not to mention Judas's God Key, which is completely designed for Honkai!"

"Sorry, I also..."

Facing Tesla's question, Claire simply lowered her head blankly and shook it vigorously. Unlike Tesla and Cocolia, although Claire was also anxious about the safety of the girl, what occupied her heart more at the moment was the resentment for her own weakness and incompetence...

When faced with the out-of-control Kiana, she had no power to fight back and could only watch Seele and Asakura Miyuki struggling to deal with her; later when Lillian was eroded by Honkai, she was completely helpless and finally had to rely on the help of the enemy to save her best friend; when Chiyou's core was exposed, she couldn't even break through the defense of the weak core...

Although it was normal for an ordinary Valkyrie to be powerless, and no one would blame her for it, for her, this feeling of powerlessness was not something she could easily accept.

(I must find a way to become stronger... Right now, I don’t even have the qualifications to stand with them...)

"What happened next? The Glorious Covenant was going to bombard the core of the Judgment-level Honkai Beast, and you left her there and fled back in disgrace?"

Cocolia snorted and looked at Claire and her group through the terminal screen. She did not hide the accusation in her tone. She did not care what these irrelevant people thought. In her opinion, no matter how the process was, it was an indisputable fact that these Valkyries left their daughters in the bombarded Honkai Center.

"I'm sorry... But at that time, Lady Shilis planned to stay and deal with the explosive Houkai energy. It would be meaningless for us to stay, and we would become a burden to her..."

"So... you losers who can't even guarantee Shilis's safety, what qualifications do you have to work with her?!"

"Feel sorry......"

As Cocolia questioned, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more heavy. Tesla looked at the girls around him who were obviously depressed after sobering up, and couldn't help but interrupt Cocolia's accusation.

"Have you said enough? Shut up! You don't need to teach my men a lesson! Claire, ignore that crazy woman. Tell me, when you were retreating from Chi You's body, was there no news from Shilis?"

"No... The moment Chiyou was bombarded, the radio waves in this area were completely disrupted by the extremely strong energy field, causing the communication in this area to completely fail. Even until we boarded Hyperion's rescue ship, we were still unable to connect to Shilis's communication..."

Hearing this, Tesla frowned slightly and sighed.

"And then, when Hyperion searched for her terminal location again, she was already in the Glorious Covenant..."

Tesla fell silent at this point. Xing, who was holding the Cocolia communicator, listened to the discussion. Although she still didn't quite understand what was going on, she more or less understood part of it.

"Hey! You perverted lolita lover over there, since Sister Shiris is in that Destiny Battleship, why don't we just break in and rescue her? Why are you whining here......"

"Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking! Do you think that the flagship of the Destiny is a place you can enter whenever you want?"

Tesla interrupted Xing's words and couldn't control his negative emotions. Looking at the annoying blonde on the communication screen, he couldn't help but mock her.

"Hey! Cocolia, since you keep saying that Shiris is your daughter, look carefully! Now she is in the hands of the Destiny Organization. Don't you intend to fulfill your motherly duties and save her from the hands of the Destiny Organization?"

"Hahaha...Okay! I will mobilize all of Anti-Entropy's resources to fight the Destiny Organization and destroy all of your decades of accumulation.

"Is it okay to perish together with the Destiny Organization?"

"you dare?!"

After a few minutes of calm conversation, the atmosphere between the two executors became tense again. However, this time, the argument was interrupted by a sudden piece of news before it even started.

"Zizizi... Microphone test~ Can everyone hear it?"

As the hangar's broadcast automatically turned on, the voice of the Hyperion artificial intelligence came through the ship-wide communication.

"Captain Jiuxiao, should you be in the hangar now? Lady Theresa is back, and the automatic handover of Hyperion's supreme command has been completed. I'm here to inform you, that's all~"

As the energetic voice finished speaking, the broadcasting system was turned off. After a brief silence, the people present suddenly became excited!

"Theresa is back from the Destiny flagship? In other words..."

"Hey! Did she come back from the Glorious Covenant...?"

"The principal must know the news about Sister Shilis!"

"Where is she now?!"

"..."

As the girls hurriedly ran towards the captain's room, a girl who had just returned from the Glorious Covenant and had not had time to check her cross was destined not to have a chance to rest today...

At this moment, before the destiny flagship Glorious Covenant was about to return, some unexpected situations occurred in the central area of ​​the battleship.

After reaching an agreement with the Bishop of Destiny and telling Theresa some things, Shiris temporarily left the Glorious Covenant Command Room. When she passed through the main hall of the battleship, she encountered the sudden attack...

The barrage of bullets attacked the girl's forehead, heart and throat with tricky and precise movements. But before hitting these weak spots, Yulandel, who was acting as a guide, quickly took Shiris into her arms and turned sideways, helping her avoid these stray bullets that did not pose a threat...

370 Primary Target >>

"Sinner of Kaslana...! Use your blood to wash away the crime that tarnished the family's honor!"

When the white-haired girl who attacked her with two guns opened her mouth, Shilis immediately understood the reason why she attacked, and she also quickly realized that she might be taking the blame for someone else...

"You're not hurt, are you, Miss Hillis?"

"Well... I'm fine. By the way, could this person be..."

The efficiency of the Valkyrie operations at the Sentence Headquarters was indeed very high. When Shiris and Yulandel were attacked and had no time to take any action, the attackers were instantly subdued by the Valkyrie troops responsible for security before they could even fire a second shot.

"Let me go! You idiots! Look carefully, that girl is the daughter of the traitor!"

The girl struggled continuously, trying to free her hand, but under the suppression of multiple Valkyries, her actions were doomed to be in vain.

On the other side, seeing the white-haired girl who was still glaring at her even after being pinned to the ground by the Valkyries, Shiris's expression gradually turned cold. She took a step forward and slowly squatted in front of the girl.
