K424 of the Collapse World

"What about the texture of soul steel... Is it the weapon of the throne of the gods of destiny? What a bargain~"

Opening her hand, a crystal arrow made of Honkai energy appeared in Charlotte's hand. Although she did not have the special ability of Angelia, in terms of archery and combat experience, she was countless times stronger than Angelia now...

"Ah."

After responding lightly to Charlotte's words, Shirley looked at Angelica, who was lying on the ground with her hands hanging down but still glaring at her, and shook her head lightly.

"Instead of just looking at me, why don't you take some action? With Tianming's medical technology, we should be able to save people before they become brain dead, right? If you want to save your sister, you must defeat me within six minutes..."

Continuing to look at the Valkyries ahead, a hint of fighting spirit appeared in Shilis's steady eyes.

What expression will Otto have after all his Valkyries are defeated?

534 Turning Point

The defeat of the Shaniyat sisters did not seem to have any impact on the battle situation. On the surface, the two silver-haired girls were still trapped in the encirclement of the Valkyries, and it seemed that there was no way to escape.

However, on the Valkyrie side, the girls were not very motivated for the upcoming victory. Although Maria and the others' defeat was obviously due to mistakes, it was a big blow to their morale after they saw that the Law Constrainer was still hiding his strength.

Is this her full strength? Or is it that under the suppression of the Honkai Energy Jammer, she can still retain some strength?

No one knew, so no one dared to act rashly. Maria's rash move resulted in the opponent's immediate teleportation ability directly piercing her chest. Who knows what kind of strange ability will counterattack the next person who takes the initiative?

When the situation was at a stalemate, some of the Valkyries who had no opinions turned their eyes to Otto who was not far away. The trust in this bishop of destiny was the source of their courage and motivation. In the past, when the troops encountered a difficult decision, this bishop could always rationally formulate the most reasonable action plan, using the least loss to exchange for the greatest results. But this time, the bishop just stood there blankly, staring at the silver-haired girl over there, and seemed not to see the confusion of these Valkyries...

But in fact, there were only a few Valkyries who were worried in this situation. The other Valkyries were still concentrating on finding Silis.

flaws and be ready to fight at any time.

(Now that the order has been given, there is only one thing to do...)

Holding two daggers made of alien soul steel upside down in his hands, Ningdi stood silently in the array. The crystal purple eyes gradually turned into nothingness, only reflecting the figure of the silver-haired girl. Apart from that, there was no distraction in those eyes.

The Herrscher of Restraint, Silis Kaslana, is the only Herrscher that Ningdi has ever truly fought against, and also the strongest enemy she has encountered in all these years!

When Maria Shaniat, who was as powerful as herself, fell without any resistance, she realized that she had underestimated the power of the Herrscher after all.

Otto's original intention of training himself was to cultivate an "assassin" who could kill Honkai creatures with one strike. After completing the training, he obtained the Throne of the Gods dagger made of holy blood crystal and soul steel, and the special artificial stigmata obtained through multiple adjustments, which eventually created the "Herrscher Killer" - Ninti Apokalis, an S-level Valkyrie.

When the power of the stigmata resonates with the dagger, the double blades in her hands are enough to break the defense of any Honkai energy shield!

Ningdi originally thought that with this power, he could clear all enemies for his bishop. However, when fighting against the real Herrscher, the title of "Herrscher Killer" became a joke.

There was no Honkai barrier, nor any solid and thick biological armor. It was obvious that as long as she stabbed the girl's chest with a dagger and destroyed her Herrscher core, she would win! With this thought in mind, she rushed out of the shadow of the stone pillar and stabbed the silver-haired girl's back with the strongest burst speed. But in the next moment, she knew she was wrong...

Hiding skills and assassination techniques were meaningless against that Herrscher! The Herrscher didn't even bother to use his own abilities, and simply raised his hand to intercept the blade she swung out.

The moment the opponent grabbed his wrist, the outcome of the assassination was already decided.

I'm afraid that my actions had been completely seen through by the other party long before I made my move.

The moment the assassination failed, his role as an assassin had lost its meaning. Now, Ningdi knew exactly what to do to maximize his remaining value on this battlefield...

Gently taking off the white hood on her head, Ningdi nimbly passed her fellow Valkyrie in front of her and came to the front of the formation.

The bishop's order was very clear: to kill or subdue the girl. So, what I should consider is how to complete this order.

"I'll create the opportunity...Everyone, I'll leave the subsequent attacks to you."

The soft voice that melted into the air broke the silence of the battlefield. The girl who left these words turned into a blurry afterimage and rushed forward to the silver-haired girl who was waiting to meet the enemy! The pitch-black blade drew a black light along her moving trajectory, almost splitting the light along the way in half.

Unlike Maria who used a long-handled weapon, my dagger was originally a sharp weapon for close combat. Even if the opponent used the teleportation just now to attack again, she would not be easily defeated. My full strength should be able to force her to use her real skills a little bit...

Ding--

The fleeting but seemingly eternal metallic echo sounded again, and golden translucent ripples swept across the space. The next moment, Ningdi was surprised to find that Shilis, who was right in front of her, suddenly disappeared in front of her!

despair......

The faint sound of long boots stepping on the ground sounded behind him, and Ningdi's heart suddenly felt like it was falling into an ice cave! The moment he heard the footsteps, it was as if the scythe of the god of death was already on his neck.

She teleported behind me? !

After realizing this, she immediately tried to turn around and meet the enemy. Ningdi had already begun to guess whether the girl's attack would be aimed at her neck or heart. However, in these few milliseconds that determined life and death, the girl's attack never came. The next moment, it was replaced by a sound of footsteps farther away...

534 Turning Point >>

The Herrscher who teleported behind him did not attack him, but rushed towards the other Valkyries behind him!

Without time to think, Ningdi stopped immediately, leaned forward and stabbed the ground with her dagger, creating a spark on the hard metal floor! After stopping her forward momentum, she hurriedly turned around and tried to rush back. At this moment, three purple crystal arrows came with a shrill sound of breaking wind, aiming at her forehead, throat and heart respectively!

"Tsk!"

The action of returning to defense was interrupted, and Ningdi had to block the incoming arrows with her double blades and stood still. A dozen meters away, a red-haired girl with pointed ears had a faint smile on her face and aimed Angelia's crystal bow at her...

"God's Assassin, how about dancing with me?"

"..."

If I don't defeat this wolf-ear head-on, I'm afraid that the arrow from its target will pierce my heart the moment I turn around, right?

Silently taking a fighting stance, Ningdi's actions had already indicated her answer. In response, Charlotte, who had already shown her fighting intention, gently pulled the bowstring, and a purple crystal arrow condensed and shot out...

It seems like a battle between an S-class Valkyrie and a humanoid Honkai beast that is close to the Judgment level is a battle of equal strength, right?

·————————————·

Using a certain ability, she instantly passed Ningdi and took the initiative to break into the Valkyrie's array, facing the attacks of all the Valkyries head-on!

"Otto, let me guess. What conditions did the will of Honkai promise you that would make you betray us so decisively?"

While saying this with a smile, Shilis dodged the attacks of Cheng Lixue and Shi Yu Qiluo and shattered the swords in the latter's hands with a flick of her finger. She did not pursue them, but directly passed through the gap between the two of them, sprinted forward, and gradually approached the position occupied by Otto.

"Although I have never really understood you, I know what your wish is. However, the will of Honkai actually took the initiative to talk to you. This should have never happened in the past eras."

——Boom!

The heavy tactical armor behind the Colorless Brilliance transformed again, and several micro missiles flew out, dragging flames to lock onto Shirley's direction. In response, the girl simply waved her hand and threw out a string of metal debris, which detonated all the missiles in the air!

With a sweep of the golden spear, the brown-haired girl who was blocking the way was driven back. Silis took another step forward, and without looking back, she swung the spear to smash the mechanical blade released by Ella. Charlotte's collar had been destroyed by herself, and this artificial intelligence could no longer defeat the wolf-eared girl with the method just now.

"Have you ever thought about whether the future promised to you by Honkai is really what you desire? Since you have chosen to attack me, it means that you will help Honkai reset this world and start the reincarnation of the next era... Is that right?"

She turned her spear sideways to block Salome's dagger. The next moment the Valkyrie lost her balance, three energy chains rose from the ground and wrapped around her body, binding her tightly. Then, the girl swept the spear again, smashing the laser beams fired by the colorless glow. The dissipated energy passed through her body and exploded on the wall in the distance.

"Given this premise, I think... the promise that Honkai made to you should be to allow you and Kallen to reunite in the next era, right? Other than that, I don't think there are any other conditions that would move you."

Amid the chatter of the girls, she had already started a battle with Cecilia. The golden spears and the pure white lances crossed back and forth, and the crisp sound of metal echoed back and forth in the hall. Compared with the solemn face of Cecilia, Shilis dodged the attack of the lance as if she was taking a leisurely stroll. The occasional spear thrust out as a counterattack was enough to overwhelm the opponent...

"But are you really willing to accept such a result? You, who can't even trust Hill's power of creation, want to place your trust in the will of Honkai? How ironic... Can you be sure that the Kallen Kaslana who is reborn in the next era will still be the Kallen you are familiar with?"

——Dang Cang!

The spear that collided with the lance continuously gradually became unable to bear the weight, and finally broke after a collision, turning into light particles and dissipating. Facing the black abyss white flower piercing her heart, Shilis directly grasped the tip of the lance, using the same amount of creative power to offset the withering energy attached to the tip of the lance, and the stalemate continued.

Staring at the seemingly unresponsive Otto's stand-in from the corner of her eye, Shirley's heart sank. However, just as she was about to give up the last persuasion and start cleaning the church, she suddenly sensed a spiritual wave from somewhere, trying to enter her mind.

(Oh? A request for a spiritual connection? That is to say...)

Looking up at the source of the mental fluctuations, Shilis's slightly intriguing gaze met the blond man's deep emerald green eyes...

535 Change of Position

Honkai energy can simulate the properties of other energies and transform them into any form of energy. Therefore, by using the brain of a living being as a receptor, using electromagnetic waves simulated by Honkai energy to send them to the target individual, and then transmitting information at a specific wavelength, a conversation similar to a spiritual connection can be achieved.

The electronic signal that Hillary suddenly received at this moment was obviously from a bishop beside her.

As the master of the First God Key, the Void Manzang, Otto could use the nature change of Honkai energy, which was not unexpected to Shiris. Moreover, in her past reincarnation memories, she and Otto had fought more than once or twice. It must be said that in some aspects, this man's understanding of Honkai energy was even stronger than hers.

Shilis let go of her hand and let Cecilia's Black Abyss White Flower pierce her right chest! Looking at Cecilia's stunned eyes, the girl smiled back at her. The next moment, before the Withering Mist unfolded, the chains condensed by the light entangled Cecilia's arms and legs, completely imprisoning her, and the God's Key Black Abyss White Flower also fell from the woman's hand.

If she wanted to defeat Cecilia quickly, even she would have to pay a small price.

"So, what do you want to tell me? Betrayer..."

Accepting Otto's spiritual connection, Shilis calmly pulled out the white lance that pierced her body. The pure white light of creation flashed by, and the girl

The huge bloody hole in the chest healed completely.

Seeing Cecilia's defeat, the Colorless Radiance, as a supporter, hurriedly operated the outer armor turret and locked onto Shirley's body again. However, before she could pull the trigger, Otto's figure came across and raised his only remaining left hand to stop her attack.

"My response is exactly what you want now, isn't it, Ms. Shiris?"

Staring silently into Shirley's eyes, Otto's voice rang directly in the girl's mind. Seeing the bishop's actions, the other Valkyries who were about to continue attacking also stopped, looking at the two people in the center of the encirclement, not knowing what to do next.

"Huff... Commander Claudia, what does Lord Otto mean? Why is he trying to stop us from attacking that guy... the Ruler of Constraint? Does he have any other plans?"

Shigure Kirara, who had been knocked down just now, got up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and asked the blonde Valkyrie beside her with a slight breath, but the latter also shook her head, and the cutting energy of the blade of the scythe in her hand had dissipated.

"I don't know either, but this is undoubtedly the order of the Bishop..."

"But that's just Otto-sama's stand, right? Could it be that this stand is controlled by the Herrscher?"

"No nonsense."

"..."

The fierce battlefield suddenly fell silent, leaving only the whispers of the Valkyries. On the other side, taking advantage of this opportunity, Angelica dragged her broken body and crawled to Maria's side with difficulty using her only movable left arm. She picked up the woman lying in a pool of blood, and after confirming that she still had a weak life reaction, she hurriedly activated her ability and used blood crystals to plug the woman's wound.

"Don't die, Sister Maria..."

The girl's sobbing voice just disappeared in the silence of the church. The other Valkyries present all held their weapons and continued to be vigilant against the silver-haired Herrscher. No one helped the wounded outside the battlefield. Because they didn't know whether they would receive a truce or an order to fight to the death from Otto in the next second.

Before they confirm this, they must not relax at all!

Under the gaze of all the Valkyries, the Bishop of Destiny and the target of the siege still stared at each other in silence, as if they could communicate with each other through their eyes...

What the Valkyries would not expect is that the thoughts they inadvertently had are actually the real situation that is happening now.

·————————————·

"In other words, you admit that you reached an agreement with the Herrscher of the End for your own selfish desires, and that she would fulfill your wishes, and then work together to deal with the biggest threat to the Honkai side in this reincarnation - me. That should be the case, right? Bishop Otto."

Immersing her mind in the radio communication, Shilis didn't care at all about the weapons aimed at her from all directions, and just looked at the blond man quietly.

After the memories of reincarnation overlapped, the hatred she once had in her eyes when she looked at Otto was gone, and only mockery and a hint of pity remained.

"I will not make excuses for what I did. Ms. Shilis, since you still choose to talk to me like this under such circumstances, then... you should not intend to continue fighting me to the death, right?"

Unmoved by Shirley's sarcastic look, Otto walked a few steps to the side, picked up his broken arm that had fallen not far away, and connected it to his shoulder. The powerful activity of the soul steel material automatically connected the broken arm. After moving his newly connected right hand, Otto turned his head again, looked at the slightly cracked metal ground, sighed softly, and his indifferent eyes met the silver-haired girl who stood still.

"Your strength is beyond my expectation... Well, there is no point in talking about this now. Now, the initiative is in your hands. State your terms, Ms. Shirley. I don't know what else you want from me, but you really have no intention of starting a war so far..."

Otto saw it clearly, and knew how many tricks this girl had in reserve. She could be invincible with only the most basic Honkai energy control. If Shiris really wanted to annihilate all the Valkyries present, and then use her known full-strength attack, three minutes would probably be enough to end the battle.

“Ah… You should know the reason why I don’t want to conflict with you, so there’s no need to waste time on that. And since you’re willing to communicate with me, that means you don’t completely believe in the will of Houkai, or in other words, when you made this plan, you didn’t have the full determination to carry it through to the end, right?”

With her spear propped on the ground, Shilis looked at Otto expressionlessly, sending the radio signal of this conversation to the man's brain. After all, she did not adopt the expected plan. At the last moment, Otto took the initiative to compromise, which was indeed a pleasant surprise for her.

In the past reincarnations, I have never been as calm as I am now, and I have never been able to successfully see through Otto's hesitation hidden under his cold-bloodedness...

535 Change of Position>>

The only one who intends to betray humanity is Otto, the leader, and his Valkyries are just listening.

They acted according to orders, and their goal was the same as hers, to destroy Honkai. Unless necessary, Shiris did not want to kill each other with these future comrades. Now, Otto's wavering attitude would have a chance to avoid the worst development.

"I have just explained Kallen's matter very clearly. No matter what, as long as you can't kill me, your deal with the Honkai Will cannot be reached! In the end, the power of mankind will be exhausted by the civil war, and they will only enter the next reincarnation in despair. If you are willing to change your mind and agree to a few of my conditions, I can consider giving you a second chance..."

"......Hehe, do I have any other choice besides this?"

Otto's eyes narrowed slightly, and the atmosphere in the already silent hall became even more oppressive. Although the few Valkyries present could feel the flow of Honkai energy, they could never imagine that their own bishop and herrscher could connect each other's spirits through Honkai energy.

"Humph~"

Looking at the Valkyries who did not move under Otto's command, Charlotte looked at the silver-haired girl not far away and immediately knew what the girl was doing. Then, noticing the look in Shilis's eyes that hinted at her, she smiled and put the longbow behind her back, facing Ningdi's cold and murderous gaze, and walked slowly forward, without any hesitation, passing by the Valkyries, walked towards Shilis who was surrounded in the middle, and stood with her.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you, Lady Shilis~"

Charlotte's smiling voice was very clear in the silent hall. However, Shilis did not respond to her words, but just nodded slightly to Otto calmly, then took a step forward, raised the golden spear in her hand provocatively, and pointed the tip at Otto.

Following this action, the Valkyries began to stir. If the Ruler of Constraint took the initiative to attack at this moment, they would have to attack even without Otto's order. At this moment, a beam of light suddenly fell from the sky and penetrated the skylight of the church above, directly falling towards Shilis and the other person standing in the center circle!

---boom!!

A huge roar that shook the Church erupted, and strong light and impact burst out at the same time. The ocean of light instantly engulfed the two girls standing in the center. Then, the spreading aftermath alone completely destroyed the formation of the Valkyries. This dazzling beam of light seemed to be able to pierce through the entire floating island!

"Well......!"

With the help of the weight of the outer armor, he barely managed to avoid being blown away. Colourless Huihuo looked at the beam of light that penetrated the church, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.

(This is... the Glorious Covenant's penetrating bombardment? Why is it launched at this time?! The original plan was clearly not like this...)

The beam of artillery fire lasted less than five seconds, but in the eyes of the Valkyries, it seemed extremely long. Finally, after the light and smoke all dissipated, the Valkyries slowly regained their vision.

Right below the broken skylight, where Shirley and the others had been standing, there was only a pit left, and the metal at the edge, which had been burned red and melted, was still slowly sinking...

"Your Excellency? This..."
