K424 of the Collapse World

The key to the first god is the void and all treasures.

What made this God's Key different from other God's Keys was its unique host nature and extremely clear Herrscher personality. Even though only one Herrscher core was left and it was made into a God's Key by Mei, it perfectly preserved its consciousness by relying on its unique nature.

The power of the First Ruler is enough to analyze and copy everything. This God's Key also inherited these abilities. If Otto wants, he can even do the same thing as Walter. For example, relying on the analysis of the God's Key that already exists, he can also create a simulated God's Key, just like the simulated Star of Eden that Walter often uses. Otto can reproduce many more God's Keys...

It can even be said that those who have mastered the First God Key have basically obtained the same level of power as the Herrscher of Reason. The entire God Key is like a Herrscher core, lodged in Otto's body, allowing him to mobilize the power of Honkai at will, just like the Herrscher.

However, such a powerful divine key also has some regrettable flaws.

For example, at this moment, a certain immortal personality hiding inside the Key of God began to chatter in Otto's mind again...

"Don't you understand yet? When you met, 'she' had already made it very clear, right? The Herrscher of Death that you have nurtured is not a true Herrscher of the Complete Body. Such a half-baked power of creation will naturally have an incomplete effect when used for resurrection!"

Otto, Hillis, and Cecilia, who were accompanying them, stood quietly in the elevator. What the other three didn't know was that the bishop beside them, who had a calm expression, had his mind filled with these noisy noises.

"Idiot! What on earth are you thinking? Didn't you let Cecilia meet her so that you could take advantage of her moment of instability? With what you completed the day before yesterday, it wouldn't be difficult to kill her directly, let alone make her lose her combat effectiveness, right? Why did you suddenly change your mind? If you had just done what was agreed upon, that person would have definitely fulfilled their agreement with you..."

"Don't get me wrong, my answer to her was, 'I'll consider it,' but I don't remember ever explicitly promising 'her' that. It's up to me to decide what to do."

Otto answered silently in his mind, remaining calm on the surface, but his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Consider it as appropriate? Haha...hahaha...! As expected of a shameless person like you. Well...this is your business, and a small weapon like me naturally has no right to interfere."

The voice of Xukong Wanzang sneered, and as it looked at Otto's sea of ​​consciousness which was gradually becoming turbulent, its tone suddenly turned teasing.

"But, did you really listen to that little girl and intend to use your so-called "secret method" to end the Honkai? Um~ at the cost of your poor little girlfriend never being able to fully revive?"

"...If you keep talking nonsense, I will seal you into the deepest part of the stigmata space."

"If avoiding the truth makes you feel better, then it's up to you. Anyway, when you need my strength, don't you still have to come back and face me obediently? Let's continue this topic when that time comes, hahaha..."

The sound of the spiritual world was cut off unilaterally, and the disturbing laughter stopped abruptly. Otto's eyes had just regained focus when he saw the silver-haired girl next to him looking at him with a mocking look.

"What's wrong, dear bishop? The elevator has arrived, but you are standing there in a daze with a constipated expression. Look, your saliva is flowing out..."

"Your joke is not very funny, Miss Hillis. Excuse me, I just thought about the arrangement of the experiment later. Come with me, Miss Hill's residence is just ahead."

What disappointed Hillis a little was that Otto did not raise his hand to wipe his mouth as she expected, and there was no unnatural expression on his poker face.

Well, he is worthy of being an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years.

Shirley shrugged and followed as if nothing had happened. Based on the principle of not letting the enemy feel comfortable even if they were temporarily cooperating, she had intended to use these inexplicable taunts to make things difficult for Otto without crossing his bottom line, but the bishop's response made her feel like a "naughty child trying to act strangely to attract the attention of his elders."

To be honest, the girl felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly when she had this feeling towards her enemy. So, for the rest of the journey, Shilis remained silent, which puzzled the two Valkyries who were following behind her. They didn't understand why the two people who were bickering just now suddenly became so quiet.

·————————————·

"Ms. Hillis, your friend is in the room ahead, so I won't interfere with your personal space."

Otto stopped and pointed to the end of the corridor. Silis followed his direction and saw a heavy metal door at the end of the gloomy corridor.

"Hey! What the hell is this place? Are you going to let her live here? Is this how Destiny treats technical collaborators?!"

"This was Miss Hill's own request. I originally arranged for her to stay in the most prestigious guesthouse in the headquarters area, but Miss Hill insisted on staying in this warehouse area. We had no choice but to simply renovate the original warehouse manager's lounge. Speaking of which, many of her recent behaviors are incomprehensible..."

Otto spread his hands helplessly. In response, Shirley said nothing more and just walked forward.

"Well, I will take these two ladies back to the studio in Helheim. When you are done with your conversation, come find me there. Don't waste too much time. There are still many things to deal with next."

Shirley did not respond, standing in front of the deepest door. Listening to the footsteps of Otto and the other two gradually fading away, she raised her head and gently pressed the call bell on the metal door.

Ding-dong-

"Who?! Didn't I tell you not to disturb me during non-experimental hours?"

The next moment after the doorbell was pressed, a slightly dissatisfied voice sounded behind the door. Although the tone was a little hurried, it was hard to see the fatigue in it. However, this was obviously Hill's voice.

Were you taking a rest before?

Shilis frowned slightly.

I didn't completely hide the Honkai energy fluctuations on my body. Logically, the moment I entered the underground laboratory, the girl should have been able to sense it even if she was resting. But now, I have walked to the door and pressed the doorbell, why hasn't she noticed my identity yet?

Besides, I couldn't feel anything on my side. Hill did have the ability to hide his aura permanently, but there was no need to activate it all the time, right?

"it's me."

"Is this voice... Shilis?!"

"Yes, I'm coming in..."

(No matter what happened, there is no point in making wild guesses now, so I should talk to her face to face...)

Thinking this, Shirley raised her hand to pick up her identity card, intending to open the door directly.

Since she is resting and seems very tired, don't bother her to get out of bed and open the door.

"No! Don't come in!

"what?"

"No...I mean, please wait a moment..."

The noise behind the door became a little panicked, followed by clear footsteps and the sound of rummaging.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, out of respect for her friend, Hillary put away the door card for the time being and stood at the door waiting.

Is it possible that he is not wearing any clothes?

Shirley laughed in silence. She had never thought that this carefree girl would be shy about something like this? If she pushed the door open right now, would she see the extremely rare scene of the girl with a shy face?

Although she had such a thought, Hillary was just thinking about it. Who knew if Hill would be angry about it? Besides, Hillary herself was not in the mood to joke now.

"Um...you can come in now, Shirley."

After a few minutes, the girl's soft voice came from behind the door, but there was no sound of footsteps coming to open the door.

"Eh? Do you want me to open the door myself?"

Silis muttered, took out the card she had just put back into the terminal, and swiped it lightly on the electronic lock of the metal door.

"I'm coming in, Hill."

The girl pushed the door open and walked in, and a small, slightly old office came into view. In the approximately 30 square meter space, a few old electronic devices were piled in the corner of the room, and the place where the desk should have been placed was occupied by a small single bed.

The neatly dressed blue-haired girl sat on the edge of the bed and waved to Shiris with a smile.

Seeing that Hill had even put on his boots completely, Shiris couldn't help but smile bitterly and closed the door.

"No need to be so formal. I'm not meeting the boss. I just came to see you... Eh? What's this...?"

432 The girl who is willing to give everything for you >>

The moment her eyes met Hill's, Shiris was stunned by the blue-haired girl's charming blue eyes under the black eyeliner, her pretty nose and her rosy lips.

"Are you wearing makeup?"

"Well... is it not possible? Although I have been sleeping for tens of thousands of years, my mental age is actually that of a young girl. As a pastime to cultivate my temperament, it's not bad to do this occasionally..."

Hill covered his lips and whispered. Just as he was about to continue the topic, he saw the silver-haired girl opposite him look serious.

"Siris?"

She blinked and asked softly, pretending nothing had happened.

She held onto the head of the bed, and seemed to be about to stand up. But the next moment, her movement was stopped by Shirley's wave of her hand.

"Hehe...what's wrong? Your expression has become so serious..."

She said it again, but the silver-haired girl's next response broke the hope in her heart.

"But why does your skin look worse after putting on makeup? It's not just pale anymore, it's dead white..."

Although it sounded like a teasing, Shilis's face was expressionless and her tone was calm.

Hill hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say "I applied too much BB cream". It was obvious that the girl in front of him had seen through everything.

"I can't hide it from you after all..."

She sighed and sat down heavily, her spirit became much more depressed. Obviously, her previous nonchalant look was all forced.

Shilis walked over and slowly sat down next to the girl.

"I'm a Herrscher like you. If I can't see your problem even when we're face to face, I might as well just hand over my Herrscher Core to Anti-Entropy... So, what's wrong with your body?! Except for not losing your hair, you look just like a patient who just received chemotherapy! Moreover, the Honkai energy is so depleted that the energy reaction of the Herrscher Core is almost imperceptible. Did you use your own Honkai energy to drive the electrical equipment of Quantianming?!"

Shilis frowned and gradually raised her voice. Seeing this once energetic girl become so weak, she felt unbelievable.

It has been less than a week since they last separated!

"Is it because of those experiments? How many experiments did that bastard Otto make you do?!"

"No... No, although it was caused by forcibly stimulating the power of creation, it should actually be my own problem..."

Hearing a hint of anger in Shirley's voice, Hill hurriedly explained, with a hint of self-mockery in his eyes.

Seeing this, Shirley suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"I thought that the Serenity Gem and I were perfectly compatible, haha... But in fact, it's not like that at all. The cores of the Herrschers of the two eras are still somewhat different. Because of these differences, I can't become a perfect Herrscher after all. And the taboo of resurrecting the dead is something that only a perfect Herrscher can do. This is the result of forcibly urging it... I was actually eroded by my own power. It's really unpredictable."

"This...then what on earth are you...?!"

"Don't worry, Otto doesn't know about this yet. There is no surveillance equipment in this room, and I haven't exposed my weakness to others, so... your agreement with the Bishop of Heaven's Fate should not be affected..."

"That's not the question!"

Shirley yelled suddenly, she raised her head and looked at the blue-haired girl with complicated eyes, her lips trembling slightly.

"Why...why did you do this? Our relationship is just that level, it's obviously not worth it..."

In the end, between her and Hill, they were just ordinary friends who could be trusted, or in other words, comrades who could rely on each other. Although it was just the right kind of friendship, that was all. Hillis didn't think that a normal person would risk his life for such an ordinary friend...

"Oh? For you, it's only 'that level'...? Well, it seems that I was just being too sentimental."

"Eh?"

"I'm just kidding. I'm not the kind of stupid woman who would die for love, let alone the kind of wooden man who is completely insensitive to other people's feelings... Let's get back to the point. I did all this because I saw hope in you to end the collapse."

"..."

Hearing this, Shilis was stunned again.

Have I told Hill about the nature of Honkai?

"After crossing two eras, ending the collapse is my only goal. Your plan gives me hope of fulfilling my long-cherished wish. As long as the covenant between you and the Destiny Organization can be strengthened, the plan will have a better chance of success, right? Now, the resurrection experiment that I am responsible for is the bond of your cooperation with Destiny. How can I give up so easily? Although I would rather go to the battlefield to fight against the collapse myself..."

The girl said this, took a deep breath, looked at Shilis's confused expression, and smiled slightly.

"In addition, I personally feel that this plan of keeping everyone in the dark and doing it alone is a little unreliable and a little uncomfortable."

"Isn't this considered reckless?! At least I take care of my body! By the way...did that bastard Otto tell you these things?"

"Well, I'm very grateful to Mr. Otto for telling me the truth. Especially after knowing that the resurrection experiment is also a necessary part of ending the collapse, I am more motivated to do it... Those Valkyries who were resurrected by me

, they are all powerful people in the past of this era. Their strength should be able to become an important force in fighting against the collapse... "

Shirley fell silent, not knowing how to respond for a long time. There were too many unexpected things. She didn't expect that the power of creation would cause such great harm to Hill, nor did she expect that Hill would know the truth she told Otto.

Looking at Hill's determined eyes, Shiris hesitated again and again, and finally swallowed her words of persuasion.

"But your body..."

"Don't worry, this level of damage won't kill me! I can probably activate the energy of creation a dozen more times before my body completely collapses... In short, everything is under control!"

Looking at Hill's confident face, after a brief silence, Hill suddenly stood up, stretched out her hands, and hugged the girl around the waist in Hill's surprised eyes.

"Eh?!"

"Now that it's come to this, even if I ask you to give up now, it's impossible, right? Thank you, Hill... But I don't intend to involve more people. Since you already know the truth, you are also qualified to know our subsequent plans. Otto and I are going to have a brief discussion, you can come along."

Shirley whispered, looking seriously at the blue-haired girl's face. There was no need to say anything. Since the girl's long-cherished wish was to end the Honkai and she had shown her own awareness, Shirley could only repay her awareness in this way.

"Is it really possible? But, the way I look now..."

"It's okay. Although a little flirtatious, you're more beautiful than usual."

"Eh? Didn't you just say that your face was so pale that you looked like a dead person..."

"You just said you added too much low-gluten flour."

“…Puff~”

Hearing Shiris's casual response, the blue-haired girl couldn't help laughing, and a hint of blush appeared faintly on her pale face.

"Are you just going to carry me over like this? I can obviously walk by myself..."

"With your body that can't even stand steadily? Don't force yourself on such a small matter. Or, would Miss Hill be embarrassed by such a thing?"

"Haha~~ Of course not. Then, I will respectfully obey your command."
