K424 of the Collapse World

"It's useless. Don't think I can't see your plan. The advanced civilization that planned all this behind the scenes cannot be defeated by human civilization no matter what! Even if all the Herrschers, including me, are included! Because the collapse was created by them. Do you think that those guys who can't even tolerate the power of a strong civilization will create an uncontrollable disaster weapon? Ridiculous! Humans are always like this. They desire peace in times of turmoil and desire disputes in peace. It is obvious that keeping everything as it is is the best way. Why don't you understand? Well, if you want to destroy the world we have protected so far, you are an absolutely unforgivable traitor. No matter who you are, our hostility is inevitable..."

"Then why are we talking so much? Disappear, and come out to stop me when the sequence collapse reaches its end."

Although she didn't understand why this enemy tried to persuade her to surrender again and again, she didn't want to waste time on this inexplicable guy since they had already confirmed that the two sides were in opposition. Since he couldn't kill her now, she might as well ignore this guy completely and deal with Wendy's problem as soon as possible.

Wendy's inexplicable collapse and rampage must have been caused by this guy, right?

Thinking of this, Shilis raised her hand and swung her spear with a sharp sound of breaking wind towards the clone of the Herrscher of the End, intending to defeat the clone that was blocking the way, and then quickly take Wendy out of this collapsed area. As long as the power of the Herrscher of Restraint was activated, it would not be difficult to suppress Wendy's rampage...

--Snapped!

"That's not necessary."

The golden shadow, in contrast to its previous fragility, raised its hand and grabbed the spear that was sweeping towards it.

"Since my elder sister can betray her mission, why can't I break the rules of Honkai and arrive earlier? Although it's not the case, it's all about stopping the progress of human civilization. What's the difference between destroying now and destroying later? Hehehe..."

The light and shadow chuckled. Unlike the semi-virtual body that just barely maintained its shape, the reappearing energy body quickly and continuously absorbed the Honkai energy in the environment. The slightly dissipated golden energy around the body began to solidify.

"Oh? There are actually human body fragments in the air here? It seems that Miss Wendy has killed many people unconsciously... However, these fragments can be used by me..."

The next moment, a reddish fluid substance began to gather around the light and shadow. The deep red color was obviously the color of blood. The people torn apart by Wendy's hurricane barrier, the shredded skin fragments and cells still remained in the wind field. At this moment, these tiny tissues were gathered by the clone of the Herrscher of the End and rewoven. From tendons and bones to flesh and blood, and then to internal organs, a new body was quickly constructed at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"you......"

Looking at the Herrscher of the End whose body was gradually taking shape, and feeling the gradually increasing momentum, Shiris was shocked. Without time to think too much, she was about to release all the Honkai energy and use the Honkai energy to simulate the maximum power of "Light Wings Deployment" to blow her away along with the experiment laboratory before the other party's structure was completed!

"...!"

However, just before she entered the explosive state, she saw Wendy standing dazedly not far from her out of the corner of her eye. She immediately paused and quickly grabbed the girl beside her and threw her hard to the open space behind her.

"Get out of here!"

The situation was completely out of control. No one would have thought that the Herrscher of the End could not only interfere with the world in a soul state without waking up, but also actively create a body for himself. Although the strength of the Herrscher of the End in this state was unknown, Shiris could only bite the bullet and fight anyway.

--laugh

"Eh?!"

However, the next moment after Wendy was thrown out, a hideous blood mark crossed Shirley's arm, and then extended to her shoulder and back! In the splashing blood, the translucent wind blade shook off the overflowing blood and flew into the sky.

"Wendy...?"

Staring blankly at Wendy who raised her hand towards her, Shirley covered the huge wound on her shoulder, a puzzled look flashed across her eyes. She opened her mouth slightly, but said nothing...

On the other side, Wendy looked in surprise at her right arm that released the wind blade, and the moment she met Shirley's surprised and puzzled eyes, she suddenly felt as if her heart was twisted hard, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

I actually... attacked Lady Shilis who was rescuing me?!

"Ah! Lady Shilis, no...no! It's my body that just..."

She explained in a panic, but her face was filled with regret and madness at the same time. Her pupils, which were glowing with a faint light, fluctuated violently, changing back and forth between circles and diamonds...

"I know! No need to say more, calm down quickly and control your thoughts!"

Seeing Wendy's state, Shirley immediately understood what had happened. At this critical moment, she actually forgot that Wendy was already at the critical point of becoming a Herrscher. Now this inexplicable Herrscher of the End had used his clone to interfere. The situation was extremely bad...

"Are you still in the mood to look around?"

The gentle voice behind her made Shirley's heart tremble. She turned around and threw a punch without hesitation, but the fist that caused the sonic boom was caught steadily by a slender hand.

What came into view was a silver-haired woman who looked basically the same as Kiana, the only difference being her relatively mature face and more slender figure.

"If my clone and the incomplete Fourth Herrscher can force you into a desperate situation, then, onee-sama, you'd better give up your daydreams as soon as possible!"

470 "Equal" Battle

The wind field created by Wendy had completely stopped at some point. The girl stared at the figure who was confronting her. Except for the pure golden eyes, everything else about him seemed very familiar to her!

".......Kiana? No......!"

Long silver-white hair, big round and bright eyes, and even the iconic curl on the side of the head are all intact.

“What on earth are you…?!”

Staring blankly at the face that looked exactly like Kiana,

Shirley opened her eyes wide, and some terrible conjectures suddenly occurred in her mind. However, without giving her any time to think, the next moment after the fist fight, the woman's slender legs swept out and fiercely shot at Shirley's blocking arms, knocking her out and smashing into the wall section in the distance!

"Are you surprised? When you saw my appearance... you hesitated. But don't get me wrong. I didn't intend to transform into your closest relative to confuse you. The last time I possessed that child was just a coincidence. The appearance you see now is my original appearance."

The woman said expressionlessly, and raised her hand slightly. The Honkai energy floating in the air automatically condensed into purple crystals around her, with the sharp tip pointing at the broken wall that was slightly emitting smoke and dust.

——whoosh

The next moment after the condensation was completed, the sharp diamond-shaped crystals flew towards Shiris. However, when these high-speed flying crystals approached the smoke and dust at a certain distance, they quietly dissipated in the air.

"call......"

Pushing aside the rubble around her, the silver-haired girl walked out of the broken wall. The scars left by Wendy's attack had all healed, and the spirit equipment made of Honkai energy was also repaired. Her eyes also turned golden, and a cross-shaped fiery pattern appeared above her pupils.

The activation of the constraint field means that the girl has entered the Herrscher form.

"You just said that your original form is exactly the same as Kiana? That means..."

Looking up at the silver-haired woman floating in the air, Shirley asked. After activating the constraint field, she could no longer use the Herrscher energy to maintain flight.

In addition to the suspicious appearance of the Herrscher of the End, Shiris also made other discoveries. After the brief confrontation just now, she basically understood the strength of this Herrscher of the End. As expected, when she could not really descend, she could not use her true power and could only fight with the help of the free-state Houkai energy from the outside world. By using the out-of-control Wendy as a power bank, she could also exert the normal Herrscher-level power. However, this level is not enough to compete with Shiris, the Anti-Herscher.

The clone of the Herrscher of the End was not as powerful as imagined, which made Shiris slightly relieved. However, things were still a bit troublesome. The opponent was the final Herrscher, even if he did not have the strength of the complete period, but she knew the nature of the abilities of every Herrscher and how to deal with them...

Originally, Shiris could have directly covered the entire laboratory with the constraint field, so that all the Honkai energy here would dissipate, and even pluck out the wings of the Herrscher of the End! But in order not to affect Wendy who was unable to move next to her, her field only covered a small area around her.

After all, she couldn't sacrifice Wendy and launch such an indiscriminate attack just to destroy the clones randomly created by the Herrscher of the End. However, the opponent seemed to have calculated this, and stood in the airspace not far from Wendy and confronted her, not moving forward a single step.

Wendy was not only used as a power bank, but also became her shield.

"So what? This world has been reset and cycled for countless eras, and countless identical yet different people continue to appear in this world. In different eras, even if two individuals with similar genes appear, what does that mean? Or is it just because of this that your fragile heart begins to waver?"

The woman snorted coldly, and the condensed Honkai energy formed a thin purple line that quickly spread out and swept across the ruins of the building above Shiris's head. The extremely thin Honkai energy thread cut through the reinforced concrete, and the huge stone slab immediately fell towards the girl.

The restraint field cannot eliminate gravity, nor can it eliminate contact physical attacks. Shilis quickly dodged and rushed out to avoid the landing point of the boulder. Although being hit by the stone would not cause her to be injured, the girl did not want to take on this obvious harassment attack head-on.

"That's true, but since you have similar genes... does this also mean that you and Kiana are 'related by blood'?"

As she spoke, Shirley leaped from the ruins on the lower floor to the room on the upper floor, ran up on the shattered walls, and quickly approached the silver-haired woman in the air.

"From the perspective of human genetics, that's true...but what's the point?"

The woman calmly used the diffused purple Houkai energy to smash the surrounding walls. The next moment, the fine stone debris that flew up was wrapped in the Houkai energy film. Under the effect of this energy, it accelerated like a projectile and flew out, overwhelming the silver-haired girl below...

"You actively suppress the Honkai energy, but you just make yourself a sitting duck!"

When these solid Honkai projectiles passed through a certain invisible realm, the Honkai energy attached to the outside was eliminated, leaving only the gravel and metal scraps inside. However, for the waste slag that had been given great kinetic energy, it was no longer important whether there was external Honkai energy. In response, Shirley tore off a metal plate and held it above her head, and continued to sprint forward facing the dense rain of projectiles. In an instant, the sound of gravel and debris hitting the metal plate became one, and the bumpy metal plate was even pierced by several sharp metal bullets and fell on Shirley's body. No

However, these attacks only left a dust mark on the girl's dress, which was instantly shaken off by the high-speed movement. Shirley's body still maintained the spotless holiness at the beginning.

470 "Equal" Battle >>

——Boom! !

However, even though Shilis's Herrscher body was immune to this level of impact, the ruins of the laboratory under her feet were different. Under the large-scale and violent impact, these already dilapidated steel slabs collapsed instantly!

However, at the moment before falling, Shirley instantly placed the metal plate in her hand under her feet and kicked it hard with all her strength. As the tattered steel plate turned into pieces, her figure rushed into the air like an arrow and punched the silver-haired woman!

"Humph......"

The silver-haired woman with limited power did not panic at all. For the Herrscher of the End, it didn't matter if the clone was defeated. Perhaps it was just a small game, and it was natural for him to not care about it. However, seeing her calm eyes that everything was under control, Shilis still did not dare to let down her guard...

Just before the two sides came into contact, a black shadow suddenly flashed before Shilis' eyes. Then, Wendy, who was unable to move due to the erosion of the Honkai, stood between the two!

"Eh?!"

The girl looked confused, and it was obvious that she had done this unconsciously.

In the restraint field, Shilis would definitely not be able to actively stop the inertia of the sprint. And Wendy's body had not yet completed the complete transformation of the Herrscher. Being included in the restraint field, she could not use the Honkai energy for defense, so she would definitely not be able to withstand this heavy blow!

"It's time to break your blind confidence, onee-sama. You seem to care about this girl a lot, right? Well, I'll show you how powerless you really are!"

At this moment, time seemed to slow down. As the woman's faint voice rang in Hillis' mind, she saw the heavy punch about to fall on Wendy, but Hillis's face showed no panic at all.

"Do you think I can't see that you are the one controlling Wendy's actions?"

With a cold smile from Shirley, the girl stopped her fist that was about to strike out! The punch that seemed extremely heavy was just a feint. At the moment of withdrawing her attack, she twisted her body and passed by Wendy at an incredible angle, and her target of the charge once again became the Herrscher of the End!

With the power of turning, Shiris threw a spinning side kick with all her strength. The moment she approached, the Avatar of the End, which was contained in a small range of restraints around her, was pulled into close combat without being able to mobilize any Honkai energy. In terms of physical strength, Shiris, as a true Herrscher, was obviously superior.

"That's the end, Herrscher of the End!"

"Yeah, it's over."

In response to Shirley's voice, the woman stretched out her hands, and a crystal clear transparent javelin pierced out from her hand. Before Shirley could get close, it directly hit the tip of the spear that was stabbing upward. Unlike the previous collapse crystals that instantly dissipated in the field, this super long javelin did not show any signs of disintegration after entering the field around the girl. In Shirley's unbelievable eyes, her defenseless chest was directly pierced by the javelin!

"this......?!"

"That's right. This is not a crystallized creation of Houkai energy, but a physical substance composed of molecules. The power of the Constraints can suppress energy, but it can't eliminate actual matter, right?"

The woman used a javelin to pick up the momentum-losing Shilis from a distance. There was no fluctuation on her indifferent face, as if she had just done something insignificant.

"You can't use Houkai energy to directly control the combination of atoms, right? Well... In my current clone state, the control precision is not very high, and I can only barely create diamonds with impurities. However, with the hardness of diamonds and the tip composed of a single molecule, it is enough to damage your Herrscher body."

"Well......!"

"In the restraint field, you cannot mobilize the power of creation for healing. If you remove this protective shield, I can actively interfere with your Houkai energy like I did to that girl. You seem to have realized this, so you keep fighting me in this state, right? It doesn't matter, the result is already determined anyway."

"..."

After a brief silence, Shirley coughed up a mouthful of blood, raised her hand and grasped the diamond spear shaft that pierced her. She exerted force suddenly, and the weak diamond was immediately covered with cracks.

"You actively interfere with my Honkai energy? Humph... Your cheat-like ability is indeed very powerful, but will Wendy, whose Honkai energy is out of control, and I, whose energy is completely stable, be able to complete the interference at the same speed? Have you forgotten that the power of restraint has other forms besides domains?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl crushed the diamond pole! Her body, which had lost its support, was suspended again under the activation of energy before it fell. The restraint field was obviously closed. However, the next moment,

Before the woman could take any action, countless golden chains extended from her back. As the woman's eyes showed surprise for the first time, these chains instantly blocked her surroundings and quickly shrank...

"The effect of the chain is the same as that of the domain. Do you think I took so much effort to get close to you just to punch you? Now, do you think you can still escape?"

471 Herrishers and Herrishers

After realizing that she was outmaneuvered, the silver-haired woman gave up resisting. Then, the chains that blocked the surrounding space suddenly tightened, binding her body tightly without any suspense.

“Huh… including the moment you pierced my body, everything was in my plan! My trump card is not just the restraining barrier, these chains can also seal your Houkai energy. This is the real end, Herrscher of the End!”

The girl took a slightly tired breath and pressed the wound on her chest with her hand. With the fleeting white light particles in her palm, the power of creation quickly repaired the penetrating wound on her chest.

"..."

"You should have stabbed me in the core."

Looking at the silent woman bound by chains, Shirley raised her hand and pointed to the brooch-shaped golden crystal inlaid just above the wound, below her neck.

"Yes... In terms of the result, my holding back should be unnecessary. Even if I stabbed you in the core, I'm afraid you would have been prepared. However, what about the plan? That's a bit too arrogant. It can only be attributed to your ability to adapt to circumstances. I did underestimate you, onee-sama. I have exaggerated your strength as much as possible, but now it seems that my prediction is still too conservative. In just a few months, compared to the first time we met in this era, your consciousness and fighting skills have become much stronger... What on earth have you been through?"

"Anyone who is under the pressure of the end of the world will do everything they can to strengthen themselves like me. Do you think I spend my free time in a daze?"

Shilis reached out and grabbed the woman's collar. The chains that held her in place slowly fell off, leaving only two delicate shackles that still bound her hands and feet.

After defeating the clone of the Herrscher of the End, Wendy's runaway energy gradually began to subside. Now, Shiris could stab the clone's chest with her hand at any time, crush the pseudo-nucleus generated in her body, and then dispel the Houkai energy in the surrounding environment to prevent her from resurrecting, thus establishing her victory.

However, she did not do so immediately.

"Hey~ Do you want to use your clone to kill me in advance? If you take such an action, does it mean that my plan has begun to threaten you?"

Slowly approaching the girl's face, Shilis sneered and asked softly, with a strange look in her eyes. Although she knew that this was just a clone, the fact that the strongest Herrscher of the End was defeated by her in this way still made the girl feel weird.

Moreover, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but Shiris always felt that the Herrscher of the End who met her as a clone this time was subtly different from the one she had seen before.

"A threat? Not really. I just wanted to undermine your confidence a little bit, to see if I could make you give up... However, I underestimated your strength, and I failed at the first step."

The woman's pink lips moved slightly, and a cold voice came out of her throat. Her face remained calm, as if she was not being lifted in the air by Shirley's collar at this moment, but was in the same state of equal confrontation as before.

And the fact is indeed so. This temporary body is just a tool, or a toy, of the Herrscher of the End. Even if she is defeated and killed by Shiris, it will not have any impact on her body. However, now, although she has lost her ability to move, the Herrscher of the End does not seem to intend to leave this body immediately.

"Oh... is that so?"

Shilis tried to pinch the woman's cheek, and the soft feeling was exactly the same as the texture of human skin. It seemed that this was indeed a temporary body created by the Herrscher of the End using humans as a template.

"By the way, aren't you going to explain to me? About your appearance... If this is your most essential appearance, then what is your relationship with Kiana... and the Kaslana family?"

"..."

"Don't want to talk about it? Well, forget it. It's not important anyway."

The Herrscher of the End remained silent on this question, which was not beyond Shiris's expectations. Indeed, such a boring question like gossip would not have much meaning even if the answer was known.

"I have already experienced your true power in Jiuyou. Although you said that it is less than one tenth of your power, if the power at that time is strengthened tenfold, it is the true strength of the Herrscher of the End. With the power of the other thirteen Herrschers and the help of humans, it is not impossible to defeat you!"

"And after that, what are you going to do? I should have told you long ago that the culprit of all this is not Honkai, but the advanced civilization that released Honkai to this planet. After destroying me, how are you going to fight them?"
