K424 of the Collapse World

Before that, the Valkyries controlled by Caroline quickly pushed forward, as if to block the attack for the controller. However, the semi-quantized virtual press passed through them without any hindrance and directly crushed Caroline who was in a daze. The next moment, accompanied by a pig-like scream, the woman's figure was directly swallowed up by the huge roller that smashed down head-on...

Using the terminal's quantum technology, Hillis transformed the steamroller into a phase-travel state similar to Caroline's. Therefore, even if it could pass through the human body, the steamroller would still be blocked by the high-density metal wall and hit the ground heavily, instead of passing through the ground as Hillis said and being sucked directly to the center of the earth by gravity.

“Aaaaaah…! Help! I can’t breathe, please move this thing away!”

At this time, Caroline's screams came out from the bottom of the steamroller. The sound sounded a little distorted, as if it had passed through multiple overlapping spaces.

"what?"

Shirley was a little surprised. She had been prepared to smash Caroline into a puddle, but who knew that this woman would not be crushed on the spot? She could still emit such a strong force after being hit by such a heavy steamroller.

The screams were full of excitement. Could it be that her physical fitness was also extraordinary?

Just as Hillis was thinking this, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the side of the roller! Then, like a 3D model, Caroline's dusty head struggled out from the side of the roller. She used both hands to hold on to the ground and pulled her body out of the roller.

"Damn it! My chest is stuck... It hurts so much, Shirley! Do you want to kill me? What if the overlapping part of the steamroller and I happens to be under the roller, I will be crushed into meat paste!"

After repeated attempts, Caroline found that she could not pull out the part of her body that was "pierced through the mold" no matter what. She simply gave up struggling, and kept her shoulders below the body stuck in the steamroller, casting a resentful look at Shirley.

"Little Silis! You are too cruel. I have never done anything bad to you, but you want to take my life. This is too much!"

"Hey~ It seems that my bet was right. This kind of semi-quantized matter can indeed interfere with your dimension."

Walking to the side of the steamroller, Shirley leaned over and poked Caroline's forehead with her hand, but her hand still passed through the woman's head without hindrance, like an untouchable phantom. Obviously, Caroline still maintained the state of quantized phase travel.

Although we don't know the specific method Caroline used to enter this virtual state, it is enough to know that she relied on the principle of quantization. Since she used this technology to transfer her entity to another plane, then the steamroller was quantized in the same way to enter a state similar to Caroline's. Even if we don't know the specific value of Caroline's observation system, the huge steamroller will still overlap with her plane, and overlap means that a collision can occur.

As for why Shiris knew this kind of knowledge, is there any need to ask? Although she sealed the emotional memories of her time as the Herrscher of the Void, the knowledge of space theory was still well preserved in her mind. Although she couldn't directly interfere with quantum space now, with the battle memories of playing with space in the past, it was no problem for her to deal with Caroline's tricks.

However, Caroline was quite lucky. The lower part of the roller of the steamroller just offset the plane where she was, and she was stuck inside the roller.

"Don't stare at me like that. Even though you were run over by a steamroller, nothing happened to you~"

"Nothing happened? Haha... Haha, okay, nothing serious happened to me, but it's only limited to the upper body! The quantized overlapping parts are not uniform. My right leg has been completely crushed by the overlapping metals. Even my spine is almost deformed by the superposition of quantum states. It's just that you can't see it now!"

"Uh... is it that serious? But, this is all your own fault, right? If you had surrendered obediently at the beginning, I wouldn't have had to take things to this extent."

Shirley stood up and said, looking at Caroline who was stuck and unable to move, she suppressed her smile and made her expression look serious.

"As long as you cancel your phase travel state, this semi-quantized steamroller will become intangible to you, so you can get out, right?"

"If I remove it now, I'm afraid you will catch me right away. I don't want to be locked up in a dark prison before I find the girl I truly love."

"I see... After all, you still don't want to surrender. Well, let's see how long your quantization device can last. To maintain such quantum data transmission and material conversion, the energy consumption should be quite high, right? Let me guess, how long can your quantization state last, an hour? Or ten minutes? Anyway, I don't need this little time now, so it's okay for me to sit here and wait for you to show up."

Shirley crossed her arms, looked down at Caroline at her feet, and a playful arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"But let's just hope that our equipment doesn't lose power at the same time. Otherwise, you and this steamroller will become solid at the same time, and the parts of the quantum bodies that pass through each other will be mixed together. In other words, the molecules that make up the roller's wheel will merge with your body and become a denser mixed state. The only part that can be preserved is the part above your shoulders that is exposed now."

"..."

“Well… But it doesn’t matter. I have part of the Sixth Herrscher’s power of creation, and I will definitely repair it for you later. Although I can’t bring people back to life like a real Herrscher of Death, as long as they don’t die suddenly on the spot and lose most of their body, my ability can still save them.”

The girl said this and sat down on the ground, just looking at Caroline whose face turned pale, without saying anything else.

"..."

"..."

"Um, Shiris-chan~"

"Have you changed your mind?"

"No, did you notice something?"

Caroline smiled slightly, and then turned her gaze towards the desk in the middle of the laboratory. Shilis was stunned for a moment, followed her gaze and looked at the

The unconscious female researcher on the table and the two empty seats next to them finally realized what had happened.

466 Rapidly Changing >>

"Wesen is missing?"

"Hehe...did you just realize that? Although Shilis-chan is very powerful, her sensitivity is still not enough."

"So what? It's normal that we didn't notice the weak ant sneaking through the crack of the door, right? Besides, Visen's wish is just to stand out in the Destiny Organization. Now that you have revealed your identity as a member of the World Serpent in front of him, do you think he will still help you?"

"Giggle~"

Caroline giggled, maintaining the inharmonious state of being in the model, and rested her elbows on the ground, trying to look relaxed.

"That guy is a chess piece I promoted and he is always under my surveillance. I know him better than you do. I forgot to tell you that Mr. Weisen is a complete loser and a coward like a sissy. But he is also a short-sighted and vengeful man. Although he knows that I planned the attack on him, you just tore off his mechanical arm again and tortured him with electric shock, which will most likely lead to revenge. It's not surprising that such a fool would die with us."

Listening to Caroline's suggestive words, Hillary's expression remained calm.

"So, what can a loser like him do?"

"Of course he can't threaten you, the Herrscher, but he can indirectly cause you trouble. Shilis, have you forgotten what the fundamental reason for the conflict between you and that guy was in the first place?"

"..."

"It's true that he's a loser, but his position and power in the institute are real. Even now, he is still the head of the Desire Gem Research Department. How do you think he will take revenge on us?"

Hearing this, Shilis' pupils shrank instantly, but she quickly calmed down, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes again.

"He longs for gems... Humph! You mean, he will attack Wendy? Ridiculous! You know, with Wendy's current Honkai control, she can tear him into pieces with wind blades with just a glance!"

"But will Wendy really do this? Will that child who is more docile than a sheep really use that power on humans? Since she came to this laboratory a year ago, she has never disobeyed the researcher's orders. Even if Weisen intends to do something bad to her, Wendy will not resist..."

".?'....."

Shirley fell silent, and after a brief hesitation, she slid the terminal again, and a dequantized anti-entropy mecha fell from the sky and hit Caroline's upper body that was sticking out of the steamroller. However, the mecha that remained materialized did not smash her brain, but passed through it like it hit the projection at the beginning.

"Eh?"

"Okay, since you've reminded me, I'll be back soon. I hope you don't act rashly. If you de-quantize when I leave, the part of this physical mecha that's intertwined with you will merge into your head! And don't even think about using those Valkyries to move the mecha away. If I find that the mecha has been moved, I will immediately activate the semi-quantization mode of this mecha. In this case, if you're unlucky, the same thing will probably happen..."

After leaving these words, Shilis immediately turned around and followed the blood trail out of the back door of the laboratory. Nothing else in the Oceania branch was important, but Wendy must not get into trouble! The purpose of her coming here from afar was to bring back that girl!

"Unexpected trouble...!"

In the state of Herrscher, Shiris activated the instinctive tracking ability of high-level Honkai creatures. In an instant, countless translucent human figures of all sizes appeared in front of her through the metal wall, as if she had turned on a perspective cheat, taking all the nearby humans into her sight.

Using this power, Shilis quickly locked onto a stumbling one-armed figure, and directly broke through the wall of the institute's passage, destroying the terrain and rushing towards the target in a straight line. With the terrifying speed of the Herrscher's energy, she crossed a distance of hundreds of meters in just half a second. The golden spear that was instantly constructed crossed the space, piercing the fleeing figure in an instant, and nailed it to the ground!

"Uh-huh...!"

"Dr. Weisen, my meeting with Minister Carolyn has not yet ended. Where are you planning to go?"

The golden energy surrounding her body dissipated, and the dark golden skirt swayed slightly in the scattered blood. The silver-haired girl stood beside the man with a sneer, gently holding the spear that pierced Visen's knee with one hand, and slowly pulled it out amid Visen's howling. At this moment, the spear, which had turned into a semi-energy state, was not stained with the slightest blood red, and still exuded a holy golden glow...

“You! You…!”

Looking at the silver-haired girl in front of him, the man's face immediately turned pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The frightened look was different from what Hillis had expected. After hearing what Caroline said, she thought that this Weisen would give her a vicious look and yell at her madly, instead of acting like a mouse seeing a cat.

"Hmm? Wait... this is where it seems to be?"

Suddenly, the girl frowned. With the Herrscher's Honkai sense, she felt that her current location was actually farther away from Wendy's isolation area, and closer to the laboratory gate.

Wasn't this Vison planning to do something bad to Wendy? Then why was he running in the opposite direction?

"I see. Is that Caroline's false information? Humph, you are so smart. Do you think you can get away by transferring me away?"

The girl snorted, not bothering to look at Weisen who was curled up at her feet. She turned around and planned to settle the score with Caroline. However, before she took two steps, she froze in place with a look of astonishment on her face. Then, a rapid alarm sounded throughout all the metal passages of the laboratory!

"Alarm! Alarm! Large-scale Houkai energy leak detected, please evacuate immediately..."

The synthesized sound of the alarm was announced over and over again. Shiris lowered her head slightly, feeling the huge Honkai energy coming from the treatment area, with disbelief in her eyes.

"How could it be... Wendy, why...?"

467 Unexpected Reinforcements

In the chaotic laboratory, warning lights flickered in the metal passages. The high concentration of free Honkai energy dyed the air a pale purple color that was almost visible to the naked eye. The metal valves that detected the leakage of Honkai energy automatically closed, isolating the various areas of the laboratory.

At the medical area at the border, the door of the isolation room originally used to house Wendy was open. At this time, the Valkyries responsible for guarding this area should have been with Wendy, but at this moment, they were lying on the ground in a mess, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. However, even if they were still alive, in such a high concentration of Honkai environment, it was only a matter of time before their bodies were corroded by Honkai and turned into dead soldiers.

In a corner of the room, the wheel of an overturned wheelchair was still turning slowly. A girl with short black hair collapsed on the ground, her body twitching slightly, as if she was enduring some kind of pain. A layer of condensed purple-black mist lingered around the girl, radiating slightly outward, forming the extremely corrosive collapse energy in the air.

Next to the girl, an empty syringe was casually thrown on the ground, with a few drops of purple liquid substance still remaining inside the transparent tube.

"Since the Puppet Master has been exposed, this is all we can do. Although the reagent is not yet completely complete, it is enough to awaken your Herrscher consciousness. As for the Desire Gem, we will return it to Honkai for now."

Looking at the girl trembling slightly in pain, the black-robed figure wearing a mechanical mask turned around and muttered to himself, and left directly through the open metal door. The increasingly dense Honkai energy spread out from here, gradually filling the entire experimental area...

Elsewhere in the laboratory, a silver-haired girl in a dress anxiously ran through the passage, going against the flow of people taking refuge, and quickly moving towards the direction where the Honkai energy was the most concentrated.

"Damn it! The concentration is getting higher and higher.... A Houkai leak of this magnitude will occur. There is no doubt that the Desire Gem has lost control..."

The girl frowned, looking at the refugees passing by her, and couldn't help muttering. At this moment, the passage was crowded with the staff of the institute. She naturally couldn't use the previous sonic movement to knock all these people away, nor could she break the metal wall of the passage to move at will. Relying on these energy isolation layers that automatically sense the collapse and fall, the spreading collapse energy can be temporarily controlled within the institute. If in this case, if a hole is opened in this building at will, I am afraid that this concentration of collapse energy will sweep across New Zealand in minutes, and then spread to the whole Oceania!

(This is trouble! If this continues, this place will become the same as Changkong City... But because of Caroline, the command system of the Oceania branch is completely paralyzed, and now there is no way to take quick action!)

Feeling the concentration of Honkai energy in the air getting higher and higher, Shiris stopped. Looking around, the researchers fleeing to the evacuation point had become slow and drowsy. Some of them even began to lie on the ground and retched, with gray-white spots on their bodies, symbolizing death...

Even though these professionals who studied the Honkai had been implanted with Honkai antibodies, the erosion caused by this high concentration of Honkai environment was far beyond the value that the secondary antibodies could suppress. These people who were closest to the outbreak point of Honkai were about to lose their consciousness in the erosion and become puppets of the Honkai will.

“Ugh…! It hurts…”

"Please! Please save me! I don't want to die..."

"Alan, why did you suddenly turn so pale? Wait, what...what do you want to do? Ah——! You actually bit me?! You lunatic! Let me go...!"

"..."

In an instant, the passage was in chaos. As soon as the sign of transformation into a dead soldier appeared, the researcher who was corroded showed his fangs to his colleagues. The appearance of the Honkai creatures accelerated the process of corrosion for more people. Those who were unfortunately bitten by the dead soldiers were corroded by their body fluids containing Honkai energy and were assimilated into dead soldiers like the attackers within seconds!

All this happened right before Shiris' eyes...

"Damn it!"

Dense golden chains rose from the ground, and the chains carrying restraining energy were intertwined in the narrow passage, accurately piercing the bodies of the dead soldiers and nailing them to the ground and walls!

The death warriors hit by the golden chains had their Honkai energy destroyed by the restraining energy attached to the chains, turning them back into ordinary corpses. The high concentration of Honkai energy that permeated the surroundings also dissipated a lot in the golden light. These researchers who were on the verge of becoming death warriors also saved their lives. They sat on the ground blankly, looking at the silver-haired girl who controlled the chain sniper to kill the warriors, with surprise in their eyes.

"Get out of here now if you can move, you guys are getting in the way!"

Shirley shouted angrily, dispersing these sluggish researchers. A look of hesitation flashed across the girl's face, and she lightly snapped her fingers. Then, the criss-crossing chains were all connected, stringing up all the dead soldiers and hanging them in the air. The next moment, a dazzling blue arc suddenly flashed in her hand, spreading along the chains to every corpse...

--boom! !

Fierce blue flames rose from the corpses almost at the same time, engulfing them all in an instant!

Using Honkai energy to simulate electric current, the water that makes up 70% of the human body will be electrolyzed into hydrogen and oxygen, which will then be ignited with electric sparks. The highly flammable hydrogen will burn these dead soldiers to ashes in an instant.

This is necessary. Although the dead soldiers whose Honkai energy was dispelled have lost their mobility, the dispelling effect of the restraining force is not permanent. When the spreading Honkai energy fills the place again, these corpses that have not lost their vitality will be revived as dead soldiers again. Rather than leaving them there and waiting for them to turn back into followers of the Fourth Herrscher, it is easier to burn them directly!

"..."

Although Shirley could save the researchers along the way, she couldn't save everyone. The same thing happened all the time in the research institute within a radius of dozens of kilometers! For Shirley, the most important thing was to find Wendy and stop the further spread of the collapse. She had no time to care about other things, nor did she have the ability to care about them.

The duty of a Herrscher is to kill and destroy, not to protect. Even she, the most special Herrscher of Constraint, cannot escape this rule. That's right, with the special ability of Shiris as a Herrscher, she can easily eliminate the spreading Honkai energy at any time as long as she wants. As long as her "domain" is opened, the constraint field with a maximum radius of 100 kilometers can completely cover the New Zealand experimental area. In this area, any form of energy, including Honkai energy, will be eliminated! The uncontrolled Honkai energy emitted by Wendy can naturally be suppressed.

In theory, this can indeed prevent the occurrence of the Honkai disaster. However, the "field" of the Constraint Herrscher is not such a gentle thing. Unlike the constrained energy that she actively manipulates, when the indiscriminate field is activated, not only will the Honkai and energy such as electrical energy and thermal energy be invalidated, but the Valkyries with trace amounts of Honkai energy in their bodies will also suffer irreversible serious damage. What's more terrifying is that the voltage of the bioelectricity of ordinary people within the force field will disappear, and they will die quickly within seconds!

If she fully unleashed the restraining domain here, it would mean that ordinary people within the surrounding area of ​​more than 30,000 square kilometers would be killed by her ability! If such a consequence were to occur, it would be even more serious than the disaster caused by the spread of collapse...

467 Unexpected Reinforcements>>

"Wendy would never lose control of her powers for no reason... Someone did something to her in secret? Was it Caroline? It doesn't matter. No matter who did it, I will never let you go!"

Shiris gnashed her teeth and growled. Judging from the strength of the Honkai energy, Wendy's current state should be similar to Mei's state during the third Honkai. Both are new Herrschers who awakened in an incomplete state. Although Shiris is confident that she can easily suppress her in terms of hard power, the huge amount of Honkai energy leaked is enough to cause the occurrence of Sequence Collapse!

(Wendy... As long as she hasn't become a perfect Herrscher, nothing will happen. Just destroy the Honkai constructs generated outside her body like we did with the Herrscher of Lightning, and the growing Herrscher energy can be temporarily suppressed... With Wendy's willpower, it won't be difficult for her to find herself again after the source of influence disappears!)

--drop!

Suddenly, as the terminal beeped, the girl was stunned. Looking at the information displayed on the light screen, she couldn't help but clench her teeth again.

“That woman…!”

As the dismantled mechanical parts fell to the ground, the indicator light on the Titan mecha flashed.

It flashed, and then went out completely.

The next moment, a mechanical arm emerged from the cloak and grabbed the bracket at the bottom of the mecha, moving it away with force, revealing Caroline who was overlapping with the mecha entity and could not be dequantized.

"Ahaha~ I'm saved, I'm saved. Thank you so much, Mr. Gray Snake. If you hadn't come to support me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to go back today..."

As she spoke, the blue light spots lingering around Caroline slowly floated back into her body, and her quantized illusory body became solid again. The semi-quantum steamroller that had originally trapped her due to spatial conflicts was also released.

"Stop talking nonsense, come out quickly, we need to evacuate."

"Hmm~hmm~"

Caroline responded without any tension, and after regaining her physical form, she crawled out of the roller that had "penetrated" her. There was a through wound on her abdomen, and the lower part of her right leg was also a bloody mess. As she said before, although she was lucky enough not to be crushed to death by the quantum roller, the collision and compression at the overlap of space still caused her considerable damage.
