K424 of the Collapse World

Charlotte blinked and followed the

As her attention shifted, her stiff and fluffy tail gradually became straight again, and began to sway gently with her steps again.

"To be honest, you are still far from being able to help me. And the technology of destiny will maximize your strength, so in the next period of time, you should do your best to build a good relationship with the bishop~"

Shiris chuckled. As she spoke, she once again spread out her perception of Honkai energy, completely covering the space. This time, she clearly felt that in addition to Otto sitting on the high platform, there were several life reactions of Honkai energy in the front row of the church benches.

(A Valkyrie? Tsk, this guy... But it's only natural for the Bishop of the Destiny Organization to arrange a few guards when he is negotiating with the enemy forces? I just hope this guy doesn't do anything...)

Shirley frowned, and as her mind moved, a golden light shone from her body. The next moment, her long hair, which had been tied up, fell down, and the down jacket she was wearing also dissipated with the light particles, and a black dress in the form of a Herrscher appeared on her body.

Since Otto arranged for the Valkyries to serve as guards during the meeting, it would be reasonable for me to take the risk alone and activate the Herrscher form in combat mode, right?

"Siris...?"

"Don't worry, it's just to increase the deterrent effect. Since Otto is planning to show his power to me, we have to give him some gift in return."

525 The illusion is shattered>>

The thin veil and the hem of the dress swayed gently with the girl's steps. After walking through the hundred-meter-long passage, the girl finally stood in the hall and realized that the Valkyries sitting in the first few rows of the benches were all people she was familiar with.

"snort......!"

The brown-haired girl who looked at her provocatively was undoubtedly the second daughter of the Shaniyat family, Maria Shaniyat. The black-haired girl sitting next to her with a smile on her face was also an S-rank Valkyrie named Colorless Radiance whom Shiris had seen before.

In addition, the Valkyries who were resurrected by Hill's power were also present. Cecilia, Leanna, Cheng Lixue from the Snow Wolf Team, Shub Nicholas, Salome Jonanka, and even Valkyries who Hillis didn't know at all and didn't know whether they were resurrected or active were also sitting here. There were more than a dozen people in total.

In response, Shilis just smiled indifferently.

"It seems that our honorable Bishop Otto has finally realized how dangerous it is to be in the same room with Honkai creatures. So what is this? Is this a grand gathering of high-level Valkyries from all generations of the Destiny Organization? However, it seems that there are still a few people missing?"

Looking around at the Valkyries present, the girl did not hide her vigilance and fighting spirit. At this time, Otto, who was looking at the girl, suddenly smiled, and his expressionless face showed a little gentleness.

"Miss Shilis, you must be joking. I summoned these powerful Valkyries just to let them sit in on our meeting. As the main force, they should be qualified to know the truth about the Honkai and the response strategy."

"Is that so? Then you may be disappointed. Because I have relatively little to say today. I just want to tell you a piece of news and ask you for a favor."

Glancing at Charlotte who was traveling with her, Shilis narrowed her eyes slightly. Feeling the different looks from the Valkyries around her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Those ominous premonitions should be just illusions.

"But having said that, it's fortunate that Miss Hillis went to New Zealand and exposed the conspiracy of the World Serpent. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't know until now that the Australian branch has been secretly controlled by those guys."

Otto's praise was only met with a cold snort from the girl.

"Isn't it because your Destiny's control over the remote branches is too weak? With these, the World Serpent has countless ways to infiltrate you like a sieve! Tsk... Let's not talk about this today. My main goal in going to New Zealand is just to find the Fourth Herrscher. You should still remember this, right?"

"That's natural. To awaken the host that desires the gem, to allow the Fourth Herrscher to descend and to confirm its controllability, from what I understand, these are your goals. So what's the result?"

"Well, it worked. My hypothesis is completely correct. Those who are chosen by Honkai to become Herrscher can overcome the control of Honkai's will with their willpower and seize the power of Honkai as humans!"

"In other words, Wendy, the Valkyrie of the Australian branch, has now mastered the power of the Herrscher?"

Hearing this, Shirley nodded slightly. Otto saw it and once again showed his intriguing smile, turning his gaze to the wolf-eared girl beside Shirley.

"However, the lady you are traveling with doesn't seem to be Miss Wendy, right?"

"This is my colleague Charlotte. As for Wendy, she has already fully mastered the power of the Herrscher. She only needs to stay in Saint Freya to practice how to use the power. There is no need to bring her to the Savior Headquarters."

In Shiris's opinion, bringing Wendy, who has mastered the energy of Honkai, to see Otto is like walking into a tiger's mouth. With the character of this bishop, he will only bring Wendy, who is a daily ".. "update.'New:

One!?;'|The Herrisher regards it as a new experiment.

In the fight against Honkai, the Valkyrie of Destiny is indeed a very reliable ally, but Bishop Otto will never be!

(Huh?! Wait, this place... and this sentence...?)

The moment this thought came to her mind, it was as if a switch was turned on in Shiris's mind. Dense information and data immediately flowed into her mind, interweaving into a large network, projecting countless synthetic images and sounds into the girl's consciousness...

"It seems that Miss Shirley still doesn't trust me... But it doesn't matter. As long as we confirm that the new Herrscher can be tamed, our goal will be achieved. Then what's next... Hmm? Miss Shirley, are you feeling unwell?"

As Otto was speaking, he suddenly saw the silver-haired girl under the altar swaying and covering her forehead as if she was enduring something. In response, he immediately asked and stood up from his chair.

"Hey, Shirley?! Shirley, are you okay?"

At this time, Charlotte next to her also noticed the strangeness of the silver-haired girl. She immediately supported the unsteady Hillis and called out in panic.

(Here we go again...! At this very moment!)

At this moment, with the abnormality of consciousness, Shilis's vision was split into two again! In the other half of the abnormal vision, it was still the same scene, the magnificent church and altar, but her position seemed to be closer to Otto.

"...You can't trust me!"

"No! Destroy the Honkai......use......"

Otto in the image seemed to be saying something, and the complicated double voice sounded in Shirley's mind at the same time. But Shirley had to focus on the real world at the moment, so she had no time to listen carefully to what was in the image.

"No...I'm fine."

Just as she was trying hard to concentrate, responding to Otto's caring words, and paying close attention to the sights and sounds in reality, the image on the right side of her field of vision suddenly shook!

——Squeak! !

The half of her vision occupied by the hallucination image was suddenly dyed bright red as it shook violently! Shilis's eyes widened suddenly. The violent shock from her mind made her unable to hear any sound anymore.

At this time, Shiris saw that the "herself" in the image slowly lowered her head and saw the blood-stained blue-black spear tip piercing through her chest and "growing" out. When the spear tip pierced through her chest, it also brought out a light golden crystal covered with cracks...

(This is......?)

The next moment, the fluctuating black particles dispersed slightly, withering and decomposing the blood beads on the tip of the gun. The crystals also shattered and turned into tiny light particles that dissipated in the air.

(Black Abyss... White Flower?!)

526 The Weight of Memory

Shirley's sudden abnormal symptoms caused a little commotion in the hall.

The Valkyries sitting on the church chairs looked at each other, wondering what had happened to the silver-haired girl. Otto also frowned slightly, examining the completely extinguished Shirleys, but did not say anything, as if he was observing further.

Offstage, Charlotte looked at Shilis, who leaned against her as if she had lost her strength, and felt a dilemma. She was forced to follow this girl to the headquarters of the Sky Mandate because of the agreement, and she was completely unprepared for such a situation.

"Hey... Shiris! What's wrong with you? Can you hear me?"

However, calling again and again did not help the abnormal Shilis recover. While Charlotte was supporting the silver-haired girl who seemed to have lost consciousness, she was thinking about whether she should ask for help from the "destined ally" present, something strange happened...

"Well--!"

With a muffled groan as if she felt severe pain, Shirley's body trembled violently, and her eyes, which had been wide open in shock, had completely lost their luster. Then, her body could not even maintain basic balance, and she fell directly to the side...

"Siris?"

No one else could see the image that suddenly appeared in Shirley's mind. Therefore, in their eyes, the silver-haired girl standing in front of the hall stumbled without any warning and collapsed completely in Charlotte's arms like she had fainted.

"this......"

Charlotte had thought about whether this was just a joke from the girl. However, it was obvious that Shilis would never joke around at this time. Facing Otto and a group of Valkyries who were eyeing them covetously, even Charlotte herself would never ease the atmosphere by showing weakness at this time.

In other words... is there really something wrong with her body?!

Trying to put a finger on the girl's chest, Charlotte frowned even more as she saw the girl still unresponsive. Being targeted by a powerful Honkai creature specializing in close combat at zero distance without any defense, what this meant was self-evident.

After confirming that the girl had lost consciousness, Charlotte could

You can destroy Shiris's heart and give her a severe blow. If you're lucky, you may even have a chance to cut out her core! Directly deal with this girl who is controlling herself with a collar...

(Heh... Miss Hillis, I never thought that this day would come to you...)

With a wry smile and a sigh, Charlotte narrowed her amber eyes slightly and slowly moved her sharp nails away from the girl's heart.

Even if he killed Shiris here, she would not be able to regain her freedom and would only fall into Otto's hands again. Compared to being controlled by the innocent and friendly leaders of the Far East Branch, being caught by Otto was obviously much worse.

As a pure egoist, Charlotte knew exactly what to do at this moment. However, she still felt a sense of irony when she thought about the fact that she had to take the initiative to protect the person who imprisoned her...

Although the silver-haired girl in her arms was strictly speaking her enemy, she could not help but dwell on old grudges when faced with a powerful common threat.

(Otto Apokalis is not a person who compromises easily. The weak Anti-Entropy can ally with the Destiny Organization. To a large extent, it is probably because the overwhelming power of the "Eleventh Ruler" has contributed to the balance of power between the two organizations, which led the bishop to make such a choice after weighing the pros and cons. And now... after the existence that Otto fears has lost its deterrent power, what will the Destiny Organization do?)

Holding the silver-haired girl's fragile body, Charlotte secretly concentrated her mind and looked up at the altar. Seeing Otto's indifferent scrutiny, her expression became even more bitter.

(This is really the worst possible scenario... It seems that the alliance between you and Tianming is more fragile than I thought! Really... Why did I have to face such a thing?)

Charlotte didn't know that even if Shirley didn't lose consciousness on the spot, what would happen today was already doomed. As the Valkyries around her gradually fell silent, the church returned to silence. In this rigid and oppressive silence, Charlotte could feel that the smell of malice began to become clear...

Should I run away immediately or continue to delay? But no matter what choice I make, I can only hope that Shilis's abnormal state will not last too long. Charlotte knows very well that even if she has power close to that of a Herrscher, she will definitely lose in the home court of Destiny against the many S-level Valkyries here!

Although she could still choose to take Otto hostage first, the bishop of destiny would not let her succeed so easily. Charlotte chose to help Shiris in order to survive, so she would not gamble her life at this time.

(As long as this girl can recover, whether we can calm Otto down and continue the talks, or just give it a try, there is still hope! So...!)

Although she was extremely anxious, Charlotte remained calm on the surface. She fully released her beast-like perception and was alert to the Valkyries' every move. However, in this critical state, Charlotte failed to notice that Otto's eyes had completely turned cold...

(Is it a test? Or is there really something wrong with your body...? But it doesn't matter. Whether it's bait or something else, the flaw you've revealed now is enough to decide the outcome...)

He slowly scanned the people present, and Otto could see clearly the Valkyrie sitting on the bench on standby, and the backup plan that had been arranged in the dark in advance.

As the hesitation in his eyes disappeared in an instant, Otto quietly loosened his clenched left hand. A coin slipped from his palm and fell to the ground.

Before the coin even hit the ground, the signal to start the action had already entered the eyes of all the Valkyries...

Looking at the Black Abyss Spear that tore "her" chest and shattered the Herrscher's core, Shiris was completely stunned.

(Why.....)

The half of her vision that was occupied by the image gradually became completely covered by blood in the blur. Although it was an illusion, Shiris seemed to be able to feel the "pain" that seemed to come from her soul when the Herrscher's core that had merged with her was shattered.

Such a clear instinctive feeling, as if it was experienced by myself...

As the chain reaction of these sympathetic sensations invaded the mind, the blood-red color that occupied half of the field of vision gradually spread to the other side of reality. The five senses of the original body gradually faded away, and consciousness began to become blurred.

What was gradually blurring out was whether it was the consciousness of "herself" in the hallucination or her own consciousness in reality. Shirley could no longer tell. Under the strong shock of the mental attack, her mind also became stagnant.

"I'm sorry... Miss Silis, but the bishop's orders cannot be disobeyed."

In the haze, a familiar voice came to her ears. Shilis was slightly stunned, and as her consciousness regained clarity for a moment, the "self" in the image also tried to open her eyes and turned her head with difficulty, as if she wanted to confirm who was standing behind her.

526The Weight of Memory>>

-

puff!

However, the next moment, as the field of vision suddenly rose, the blood-stained image was once again filled with a deeper crimson!

“Ugh…!”

With the feeling of weightlessness, Shiris immediately realized that she was being lifted up by the tip of the spear of the user of the Black Abyss White Flower. The tear on her chest further expanded. At the same time, some black particles slowly came into her eyes and gradually increased. In the end, everything, including her real vision, turned into darkness...

It was obvious that the withering power of the Black Abyss White Flower had completely devoured and decomposed "its" body.

After the image and vision disappeared, Shilis let her consciousness float in the darkness. Feeling her mind become clear again, she immediately began to sort out the information she had obtained from the previous scene in her mind.

(So... is this also part of the foreknowledge? In the church, Otto will attack me next and order Cecilia to use the Black Abyss White Flower to directly shatter my core?)

Subconsciously, she regarded the scene she saw as a prediction of the future, and Shirley's mood became heavy. In addition, although she did not see the true face of the attacker with her own eyes, after her mind became clear, she could easily recognize that it was Cecilia's voice...

(If that’s the case, then what has happened during this period of time? Since this ability of foresight tells me all this, isn’t it for me to change everything? But now…what does it mean to deprive me of my own ability to act?)

Although she couldn't see anything now, Shirley remembered clearly that when the image hallucination went wild, her body was indeed affected and she almost fainted on the spot. And now, her consciousness could no longer feel the existence of her body. Maybe her body was lying dead in the church?

(No matter what is going on now, I must wake up quickly! Losing consciousness in front of Otto is no joke...! Especially since that guy may very well kill me next...)

Just as she was thinking this and was about to do her best to take some action, a dim ray of light suddenly tore through the darkness before her eyes, and her vision changed again!

"Well!"

In a flash, the empty darkness in front of her was replaced by a wasteland full of ruins. Shilis lowered her head and found herself standing on this dusty land, still wearing the spiritual clothes of the Law Constrainer.

"Is it an illusion again?"

She muttered to herself, looking at this unfamiliar scene. Severely weathered and dilapidated building ruins were scattered around, and the sky was filled with ashes and dust, making the sunlight dim. The strong wind whistled past her ears, bringing up more dust from the wind-eroded surface of the buildings and rolling it down in the sky.

"But this feeling... isn't it a bit too realistic to be considered an illusion?"

Picking up a handful of dust with her hands, Shirley felt the delicate touch from her fingertips and frowned slightly.

Through perception, she discovered that even microorganisms no longer existed in the dust.

(After the planet is reset by the collapse, when the original traces of civilization completely disappear after ten thousand years, this world will usher in the next reincarnation...)

For some reason, although she had never seen the end of the world, when she looked at this wasteland, this cognition subconsciously emerged in Shilis' mind. Just like the unusual sense of familiarity before, it was as if she had experienced all of this personally.

"..."

Faintly sensing some subtle energy fluctuations, Shilis slowly turned her head. Behind her was an extremely tall building ruin. Although most of it had been eroded by the wind, from the remaining stone pillars and wall outlines, it could still be seen that it should have been an extremely magnificent temple.

"this......?!"

At this time, after finally noticing the thing emitting energy fluctuations, Shirley could no longer suppress her astonishment and exclaimed in surprise.
