K424 of the Collapse World

(Although it was severely damaged, as long as the genetic blueprint is not damaged, it probably won't affect the experiment. Now, we must stop her bleeding first, otherwise, with this amount of bleeding, I'm afraid she will soon...)

——Click!

"...!"

Suddenly, Fenrir's voice stopped abruptly, and she couldn't help but open her eyes wide. The silver-haired girl, who was thought to have lost consciousness, suddenly raised her bloodless left hand! Although her arm was trembling, the muzzle of the other water fairy's gun was firmly pointed at Fenrir's forehead...

"not yet....

..It’s over….”

The girl moaned, pointed the gun at Fenrir's shocked face, and slowly pulled the trigger of the water fairy. However, her trembling fingers did not even have the strength to pull the trigger.

"In this state, you still have the will to fight... Alas, such an unlimited warrior was destroyed by my hands. This feeling is really... uncomfortable. However, for that purpose, even if I bear more sins, I will never regret it!"

Fenrir's fluctuating gaze suddenly solidified, and as a hint of cruelty flashed across her eyes, the crystals of Honkai energy instantly condensed into sharp claws between her five fingers, and chopped down towards the girl's still intact left wrist!

At the same time, the trigger of the pistol that was pressed tightly by Kiana's fingers was finally pulled by her!

As the energy mechanism made a slight sound, the muzzle of the water fairy's gun did not emit any light, and next to it, Fenrir's claws were gradually approaching...

The scene seemed to freeze at this moment. The water fairy in the girl's left hand had an empty magazine. Even if she pulled the trigger, the dried-up energy box could not release the energy of the construct beam. She had no other chance and could only wait for the cold claws to cut her skin, tear the underlying muscles and tendons, and completely split her entire wrist...

That's how it should be.

----boom! !

As the girl pulled the trigger of the empty gun, the roar of the energy gun rang out!

Fenrir's pupils shrank suddenly, but before he could react, the dazzling flames instantly dyed the entire street red! A high-temperature, destructive flame flashed past the silver-haired girl, wrapped in a violent gale, covering everything in front of her, including the perpetrator who was about to succeed...

A deafening explosion sounded, and a column of flames blasted through the entire block of the black alley. At the end of the ruins, the petite red-haired figure was trapped in the rubble, her tattered combat uniform was charred and covered with burn marks. At her waist, the overloaded energy shield flickered with sparks, and it used up all its energy at once, but it couldn't offset the previous blow...

"How could it be...you?!"

Looking at the tall figure holding the silver-haired girl in one arm in the scorching smoke in the distance, Fenrir widened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This is impossible! He was declared missing three years ago, so why did he appear here...!"

"Are you done talking nonsense?"

A deep male voice sounded slowly, and the next moment, a giant sword made of flames suddenly parted the smoke and dust. The silver-haired man holding the sword stood in place and slowly pointed the sword at Fenrir who was lying in the ruins...

"It's you again...! I was almost a step too late again, it's always like this! How many of my beloved ones do you want to take away before you stop? You dare to lay a hand on my daughter... Do you think I will let you go this time?"

380 Intervention

The burning streets dispelled the gloomy night. The dark alleys that originally connected in all directions were now only a burning ruin. The narrow passages were piled with collapsed buildings, completely blocking this area from the bustling streets outside.

"Siegfried Kaslana..."

Fenrir muttered unconsciously, her eyes wide open. She could almost feel the uncontrollable rage in the man's heart!

When someone important is hurt, it is natural to have such a reaction. But as the perpetrator, facing this rage of revenge, Fenry suddenly has mixed feelings.

"Yeah...Now I'm the villain."

It was hard for even Charlotte herself to imagine that the knight ranger, who was once regarded as the patron saint by the residents of Nottingham, had fallen to such a level.

If Lucia knew that I would do such a thing, she would have executed me directly when we first met in the forest...

(But even so...)

The moment Siegfried's movements changed, Fenrir already felt the threat of death. She quickly pulled her body out of the rubble and rushed to the right with all her strength. The next moment, a huge wave of fire rose from behind and threw her out, slamming hard against the wall on the other side of the alley...

--boom!

The ruins she had just fallen into had been flattened by a wave of blazing energy! The Skyfire Sword swept across, and the fierce wind and the explosion spread out, and more abandoned buildings were swept into it! Even the hard steel and concrete could not remain intact in these exploding winds, let alone the girl's flesh and blood body.

"Ugh——!"

Her flying long hair was singed away by the flames. After completely losing the protection of the energy barrier, the protective suit covering her back instantly turned to ashes in the flames, and large areas of skin on her back were carbonized and turned black due to the high temperature.

The secondary indirect damage caused by the explosion of the flame wave from the Skyfire Greatsword burned most of Fenrir's back to the extent of exceeding third-degree burns. Even though Fenrir's physical strength was comparable to that of a high-level Valkyrie of Destiny, he was almost killed by this blow!

Looks less

The girl's petite body smashed heavily into the wall and crashed into the house. The silver-haired man had no expression on his face. He just looked at the weak and gasping girl in his arms with pity, then gently placed the girl on a wide broken wall, holding the big sword and walked towards the hole not far away...

"Oh... Dad, don't leave... me..."

"...Wait a moment, Kiana, it will be over soon, and I will make the guy who attacked you pay the price right away!"

Hearing the girl's inarticulate moan, Siegfried turned around and whispered to comfort her. He accidentally glanced at the girl's dark blue right arm hanging by her side, which was still bleeding. In response, the man gritted his teeth and gripped the hilt of the Skyfire Sword even harder, not paying any attention to the high temperature energy of the Key of God that was also backfiring on its owner...

Extreme anger can actually make a person calm down. Anger has engulfed his consciousness like a volcanic eruption, but his thoughts are abnormally clear. This contradictory feeling makes Siegfried sure of his condition.

I was so angry that I really wanted to kill someone. I haven't felt this way for a long time since the second collapse more than ten years ago.

However, he did not hate this feeling now, because he was now truly controlling his anger instead of being controlled by it and becoming crazy.

However, it doesn't matter if it gets out of control. For Siegfried, this anger is just the right fuel for the fire of plague!

·————————————·

Is it really right to hurt the most important person to someone else in order to save the person most important to you?

(I don’t know… I am not qualified to comment on this kind of thing from my current position. However, according to human ethics, it should be wrong.)

If that’s the case, why do this?

(Heh...right or wrong, does it matter? As long as I can wake her up, I don't care how many people die!)

Slowly propping up his broken body, Fenrir breathed slightly, tightly grasped the compound bow in his hand, and stood up using the bow arm to support himself.

(Besides, judging whether such a thing is right is itself meaningless.)

Although most of the nerves in the burned area had completely died, it did not mean that Fenrir would lose the sense of pain. The metal arm armor, which had turned red in the flames, stuck to her arm like a branding iron, blending into the blackened and carbonized skin of her arm, and still making bursts of burning sounds.

“Ugh… Ugh—!!”

Fenrir took a deep breath, grasped the end of the arm armor with one hand, and pulled it hard, removing the heat-softened metal along with her charred flesh! Some newly grown polyps were also torn off, and the bright red blood instantly covered her arms...

"Hiss...! Huh... Burns? I was actually burned? Hehe... It's been a long time. How long has it been since I was injured so badly? Two hundred... or three hundred years? Never mind, I can't remember. Huh... Even if I have that thing, there's nothing I can do if my opponent is the Key of God..."

Fenrir did the same with the arm armor on the other hand. With a muffled groan, he threw the still burning remains of the arm armor to the ground, grabbed the compound bow with his bloody palm that had lost its skin, and stood up.

Hearing the steady and anxious footsteps coming from behind, Fenrir did not turn around. He kept his back to the enemy, as if he had given up resistance.

After calming his breathing a little, Fenrir's voice returned to his usual brisk tone.

"Ahem...ha...Siegfried Kaslana. You released the Key of God right from the start. Were you angry? Yes...you must be very angry, right? Judging from the look in your eyes before, you must want to tear me into pieces now, right?"

"..."

However, facing Fenrir's provocation, Siegfried was unusually silent. He stopped ten meters away from Fenrir. Except for the swaying flames that lingered around him, he seemed to be completely immersed in it.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to do it yet? I tortured your daughter to death and she almost became a test subject. You're still hesitating. This is a little strange, Siegfried Kaslana... Is there some hidden story behind this?"

"Stop trying to provoke me, woman. I won't lose my mind like a beast. Instead of talking nonsense, you should quickly show your trump card... Your heart is the source of your self-confidence, right? You are planning to launch a sneak attack when I launch a killing attack, right?"

As he spoke, Siegfried narrowed his eyes, his blue pupils with murderous intent showing a hint of solemnity as he looked at the girl's back covered with burns. On the left side of her back, red lines covered the surrounding area, and the area corresponding to her heart was a dazzling crimson spot, attached to her skin like a scar, and flickered slightly with the beating of her heart...

"Ah, damn, I've been found out. What a mistake, I actually forgot that the clothes on my back were burned, ah..."

Pretending to be light

With a sigh, Fenrir turned around. On her left chest, there were also deep red spots covered with lines. As the heart beat, the light began to grow stronger. The next moment, the red light quickly flowed through Fenrir's body, including her bloody arms...

In Siegfried's perception, the strength of Fenrir's Honkai energy began to increase significantly! It soon broke through thousands of hw and continued to rise...

"You know, in this world, most of the myths that have been passed down through the ages have traces to follow... including the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor in the Shenzhou legend, the gods and famous heroes in Greek mythology, all of which are likely to be great warriors who fought against the collapse of that era. In addition, the myths of India and Northern Europe are also the same. Of course, in addition to those gods and heroes, what do you think those evil demons and monsters in the myths represent?"

380 Intervention >>

"Honkai creatures...?"

"That's right! The monsters with names in mythology are all powerful Honkai creatures from the early days of this world! Although the first Herrscher of this civilization era only appeared in 1952. But before that, there were countless Judgment-level Honkai beasts and even planetary-level Honkai beasts with destructive power comparable to that of the Herrscher..."

Fenrir spoke calmly as the charred and carbonized burned skin on his body quickly fell off and the new skin tissue under the burn marks had already regenerated. The skin and flesh on his hands were peeled off and repaired layer by layer, and the original bloody tragic scene was no longer there.

"My code name in Anti-Entropy is 'Fenrir'. This code name is not something I picked randomly. Hum... the most famous giant wolf monster in Norse mythology. According to the legend, it bit off the arm of the god of war and killed the main god Odin. What do you think such a monster is like in reality? And why did I use its name as a code name?"

Fenrir opened her eyes, and her originally green eyes had turned into red vertical pupils. Her long hair, which had been burned by the flames, once again stretched out thickly in the flame-like red light, exceeding its original length and reaching her ankles. Her body also underwent some strange changes in the red light...

"Judgment-level Honkai beast - Demon Wolf Fenrir, this is its original name in this world. And I use the name of this Honkai beast as a code name because... the core of that Honkai beast is my heart now!"

The flame-like light suddenly dissipated, and the red-haired girl, whose wounds had been healed, stood in place. Her previously sluggish aura rose, and the energy intensity was close to the flaming giant sword in Siegfried's hand...

Animal ears of the same color as her hair and a wolf tail of the same color appeared on her body. Then, the Honkai energy transformed into purple-red armor that covered her body. This was obviously the same technique as Shiris.

The dark red flame began to compete with the bright red flame, refusing to give in.

"My name is Charlotte. Excuse me... Mr. Siegfried, I'm going to take your daughter!"

As she spoke softly, the girl retracted the longbow in her hand into the quantum space, lowered her body and touched the ground with one hand. Dark red crystal claws condensed on the surface of her hands, and crimson flames lingered on the claws, and the luster became more and more condensed...

"How shameless! You want to take Kiana away? Then come and try..."

Siegfried sneered and swung out the flaming sword fiercely! The flame attached to the sword spread out as he swung it, forming a huge arc-shaped flame wave that rushed towards Charlotte!

However, this time, the flames that were enough to evaporate steel in an instant were torn apart by the dark red edge! The next moment, a figure also wrapped in flames flashed up from behind, swung his hands, and his claws left ten crossed red shadows in the air, slashing towards Siegfried's body!

Siegfried instantly held the greatsword horizontally, and the energy crystallized sword body collided with the sharp claws, sparks flew, and violent energy dissipated, instantly destroying the four walls of the room, and the bricks and stones of the entire building exploded around!

……laugh!

After colliding with the Skyfire Great Sword, Charlotte's claws were instantly covered with cracks. Before the crystal claws shattered, she had already dodged the sword's pursuit and retreated. After pulling away, the claws also recovered again as the collapse energy was filled.

"Although I can't fight the Key of God head-on, you won't be able to maintain the Key of Destruction for long, right? If we talk about a protracted war, you will definitely lose! Siegfried, since you are a wanted criminal of the Destiny Organization, you should know that a battle of this scale will inevitably attract the attention of that organization. If it drags on, not to mention your daughter, even you yourself will fall into the hands of Destiny, right?"

"......"

"Give up, you can't keep Kiana from the hands of the Destiny Organization! If you are willing to hand her over to me, I can guarantee that I will only take her cell samples and will never hurt..."

"Shut up!"

Siegfried roared, and for the first time in this battle, he held the Skyfire Greatsword with both hands and slowly raised the sword above his head.

The flames began to rise...

Behind the man, a crystal of collapse that was identical to that of the Herrscher began to form, slowly forming a wing-like structure. More flames appeared.

The air on it began to fluctuate and became sticky.

"Heavenly Fire Holy Judgement, Zeroth Rated Power Release..."

The man opened his eyes wide, and flames roared around him! In an instant, the energy intensity of the Skyfire Sword surpassed Charlotte's by several times, and it was still rising madly...

In response, Charlotte's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously exploded her Honkai energy. More dark red flames surged out from her heart, but they were unable to compete with the pillar of fire in front of her!

"Are you crazy!? Using zero rated power here in the middle of the city, then..."

Siegfried turned a deaf ear to Charlotte's words and clenched his teeth. The Skyfire Greatsword in his hand turned into a beam of energy that reached the sky, dyeing half of the sky red! The dazzling beam of light that suddenly appeared in the night sky had caused great chaos in the city. However, Siegfried had no scruples and just tried his best to control the energy of the Skyfire Holy Judgement and release it completely!

"This time... don't even think about taking them away from me!"

As he roared, the pillar of flame began to converge rapidly. In just a few seconds, this pillar of energy that went straight to the universe would be completely compressed into the small flaming sword, and then burst out with a full-strength attack that was comparable to that of the Herrscher...

However, just as the energy was gathering, a faint voice suddenly sounded behind him, causing Siegfried to freeze in his tracks.

"Dad... stop it!"

"Kiana?!"

The man was startled, and the energy he had gathered stagnated. He turned around in disbelief and saw the seriously injured Kiana, who was supported by a brown-haired girl and walked towards him with difficulty...

"Kiana! You...!"

"Kaslana's duty is to protect innocent people, not to... kill them unnecessarily! You taught me this... Dad..."

The silver-haired girl spoke with difficulty. At the end, her body went limp and she collapsed onto the girl next to her.

Siegfried remained silent. The flame sword in his hand stopped gathering. The flaming sword that reached the sky began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole thing began to sway...

"Excuse me, Lord Siegfried. Your attack is enough to wipe this country off the map. Please consider the consequences carefully before deciding how to act."

The brown-haired girl in gorgeous Valkyrie armor said softly, carefully picked up Kiana, and nodded gently to Siegfried. Around her, a strange chill protected her and Kiana. Even when they came to the center of the battlefield, they were not affected by the scorching energy around them.

"Moreover, if you two continue to fight, the girl you are fighting for may not survive until the winner emerges..."

Hearing this, Charlotte and Siegfried were both shocked. The next moment, the flaming sword in the man's hand quickly dimmed, and the energy released by the core of the self-disciplined person dissipated into the air. It was not charged into the flaming sword, nor did it backfire on the man's body too much.

"What's wrong with Kiana?! Who... who are you?"

Hearing this, the brown-haired girl maintained a polite smile, walked up slowly, and stood between Siegfried and Fenrir.

"Don't worry, Lord Siegfried. Miss Kiana's blood loss is enough to endanger her life, but as long as she is treated in time now, she will be fine."
