K424 of the Collapse World

Sitting on the cold metal plate in only thin underwear, Reina hugged her legs and leaned against the wall, listening to the stiff and desperate voice of her companion, and shook her head gently. The dull and stagnant eyes clearly showed that she had given up thinking.

The two Valkyries who lost their uniforms and failed their mission will have to face the patrol troops coming to support them naked in shame and confusion...

·————————————·

Curled up, watching the red lights of the alarm flashing in the passage, Claire gradually recovered from the daze of just waking up.

"Sirius, why are you here?"

"To find you."

The silver-haired girl answered without hesitation, running through the numerous passages at a sprint, her breathing not disordered at all as she spoke.

"I know... but how did you get in? This is the headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate! Even if you are a collaborator of the Heavenly Mandate Bishop, you can't just barge into this place!"

Hearing the urgent alarm sound beside her, Claire knew without even thinking how the silver-haired girl in front of her got in. Although she was also very touched by this, worry and anxiety occupied most of her mood at the moment...

The silver-haired girl in front of him must have spent a lot of effort to get here from the heavily guarded floating island. However, Claire, who was familiar with the strength of the Destiny Organization, naturally knew what kind of danger the girl in front of him was in!

"What on earth are you thinking about, Shirley! If we break into the restricted area of ​​the Destiny Headquarters like this, Bishop Otto will not let us leave easily! And...why did you take me away? It was my own decision to conduct experiments here..."

--boom!

Before Claire could finish, Shirley raised her free left hand and flicked the girl's forehead hard! Claire's delicate and fair skin after the gene adjustment quickly became red and swollen. The pain stimulated her recovered tear glands, and the girl's eyes immediately became tearful.

"Ugh...what are you doing all of a sudden?!"

"Stop making irresponsible remarks like that, Claire. Your talent is not enough to withstand the experiment of the final perfect form of the Artificial Law Enforcer. If you stay in that place, it would be like watching you commit suicide!"

"Insufficient qualifications? But I already..."

"A perfect Herrscher and a half-Herrscher are two completely different beings. Although you have now reached the latter level, if you force yourself to evolve further, your spirit and will will be crushed into pieces by the erosion of Honkai, and you will become a puppet of Honkai."

"..."

Looking at the girl in her arms who was in a daze for a moment, Shilis didn't know what to say next. No matter what decision Claire made before, after she got the memories of other world lines, she knew that she was doomed to fail in the future, so she had to stop this companion from self-destruction.

But this would also be tantamount to denying Claire's awareness and efforts...

After coming to her senses, Hillis realized that what she had just said seemed a little inappropriate. But there was nothing she could do since the words had already been spoken. In addition, the fact was that no matter whether Claire could understand it or not, what she was going to do would not change.

"That's right..."

Claire murmured, and then fell silent. She didn't expect that Shirley would know the content of her experiment, but she was not surprised. After all, in her impression, all secrets seemed to be known by that girl.

(Lack of qualifications... In other words, I don't even have the qualifications to become a Herrscher? If that's the case, why did you come to save a good-for-nothing like me...)

"Claire, power is not the purpose of a Valkyrie's existence. No matter what purpose you try to gain power for, if you die, you will have nothing."

"Hmm... I understand, Lady Shilis..."

Listening to the girl's lifeless response, Shilis sighed secretly and said nothing more. She had denied Claire's existence, so no matter what she said at this moment, it would only be harsh and useless comfort. As long as she brought her back to Saint Freya safely, she would let her best friend do the work of enlightening this girl. I'm sure Lillian will blame this guy who doesn't cherish himself for her!

"But Lady Shilis, if the alarm has been triggered, our actions will definitely be blocked by the Destiny Force. How do you plan to break through..."

539 Escape>>

"My current actions were approved by that old bastard Otto. Otherwise, if the Herrscher really invaded the interior of the base, given Otto's personality, he would definitely detonate all the Houkai fission bombs at the headquarters and bury me with the entire floating island."

"Bishop Otto... would condone an illegal intrusion? But if that's the case, why would the alarm be...?"

"It's just the privilege of being a winner. This is a bit difficult to explain. After returning to Saint Freya, I will tell you everything you want to know..."

"Ok, I see."

Although Claire's tone was still low, her eyes had recovered from the dullness just now. At this, Shirley breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, her eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Um?!"

Suddenly aware of the life reaction in front of the passage, Shirley hurriedly stopped her charge and tried to turn to another passage, but the warning shot that fell at her feet instantly forced her to give up the idea.

Right in front of a dead-end passage, a team of Valkyries pointed guns at her, and dense red dots of laser sights fell on the girl's body.

"Miss Valkyrie in front, please temporarily stop your current target and cooperate with our investigation."

The leading Valkyrie captain shouted from afar, also pointing her weapon at Shiris. In her opinion, it was necessary to investigate this suspicious Valkyrie who rushed out from the scene of the incident...

On the other side, looking at the electronic recorder worn by the captain of the Valkyrie, Shilis gave up the idea of ​​forcibly breaking through. Defeating these official troops carrying receivers here is equivalent to exposing their position and threat level to the command center of the destiny! Although Otto will not attack them again, these grassroots Valkyries who are unaware of it will still perform their duties seriously.

After thinking for a moment, the girl suddenly raised her hand, saluted with a standard military salute, and spoke solemnly with a serious expression.

"I am the Valkyrie directly under Bishop Otto, Elena Kaslana! Under the order of the Bishop, I urgently transfer the original body of the Artificial Law Maker Project!"

The girl said this without changing her expression, her anxious and serious tone did not reveal any flaws. Hearing this, the captain of the Valkyrie on the opposite side narrowed her eyes and indeed saw the petite girl held in the arms of the silver-haired girl.

(Artificial Herrscher Project? Is it a confidential project of Helheim Laboratory? But, Eleansa Kaslana? Is she a Valkyrie of the Kaslana family? By the way, among the Valkyries directly under the bishop, is there such a child?)

Looking at the silver-haired girl standing still, the captain of the Valkyrie suddenly felt a little troubled, not knowing whether to let her colleague pass immediately or to investigate according to the procedure. However, during the few seconds she hesitated, the Valkyrie standing opposite her spoke anxiously again.

"Miss Captain, I need to leave here immediately! The C-07 laboratory has been invaded by unknown forces. The situation is extremely urgent. If possible, please go there to provide support!"

"..."

"Please, sir! In order to cover our evacuation, my comrades...they have paid the price of their lives to delay the enemy! Woo...No matter what, please don't let the time gained by their sacrifice go to waste..."

"...Tsk."

Faced with the girl's passionate request, the Valkyrie captain made up his mind and raised his hand to signal his Valkyries to make way for the girl.

"Alright! Take your test subjects and leave quickly. We will suppress the invaders ahead..."

"Captain, there is a high-energy reaction approaching quickly ahead!"

Before she could finish her words, the report from her subordinates made the Valkyrie captain's eyes focus again. Hearing this, Shilis, who had passed the Valkyries and came to the back of the team, subconsciously turned her head and looked at the short figure with flying red hair in the distance. Then she remembered what she had forgotten just now...

(This guy... why is it taking him so long to catch up? Damn, my plan is totally messed up!)

Charlotte rushed forward without concealing her Honkai energy, and was therefore directly defined as an enemy by the Valkyries.

"Ms. Elaine, don't just stand there, leave now! We will fight the invaders here..."

Looking at the silver-haired girl who remained there out of the corner of her eye, the Valkyrie captain shouted anxiously, then turned around and turned the muzzle of the gun towards the red-haired girl in the distance.

"Um

, thank you...Miss Valkyrie."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up..."

--Snapped!

Before she finished speaking, the Valkyrie's voice suddenly stopped! Shirley's palm landed on her neck, and the Valkyrie didn't have time to say anything before her body softened and she lost consciousness. The next moment, before the other Valkyries had time to react, the arc of electricity that surged out from Shirley's palm instantly covered everyone around her, and jumped and flashed along the metal channel that served as a conductor, affecting all members of the Valkyrie team!

"--Well!!"

All the Valkyries fell down in a flash of electric arc. At the other end of the passage, Charlotte, who was running, just jumped slightly, letting her body hang in the air for a moment, and easily dodged the high-energy current that flashed by, and then jumped towards Shirley.

"Huha~ You're running too fast, Miss Shilis!"

"..."

The girl just glanced at Charlotte's fake panting expressionlessly. If this guy had caught up with her earlier, he could have gotten away with it. But now that her identity has been exposed, she must defeat all the Valkyries present. In this way, her previous energy would be wasted.

Well, since it's going to expose your whereabouts anyway, it would be more convenient for you to just take action yourself!

"Let's go quickly. Other support forces will arrive soon. We need to leave the Helheim Laboratory area before they complete the encirclement."

"Speak clearly~"

Charlotte stuck out her tongue and followed behind Shirley, as if she didn't notice the black-haired girl being held horizontally in the girl's arms.

There is no need to be extra curious. Since Shiris didn't tell me actively, there is no need for me to ask any more questions.

......

Claire, who witnessed the whole process in Shirley's arms, sighed and looked at the unconscious Valkyrie captain with a complicated look. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little sorry for this Valkyrie who had been "betrayed" for helping her companions.

After this incident, the Destiny Organization may lose a humane leader and gain a ruthless Valkyrie who can only follow orders coldly...

"When she wakes up, she will probably blame herself for the mistake she made..."

Hearing Claire mumbling to herself, Hillary looked down at her and shook her head expressionlessly.

"For the enemies on the battlefield, not killing them is already the greatest favor. From now on, what they think and what they become has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, the girl said no more, looked at the dimly lit passage ahead, and took another step forward.

540 God Machine

Haiyuan City, Anti-Entropy Station...

The offensive and defensive battle surrounding the ancient ruins of a former civilization ended in an inexplicable way.

Under the order of the headquarters, the Yulandel troops, which had originally had the upper hand, had to abandon the artillery positions they had captured with great difficulty, disarmed their own fleet with reluctance, and sent a ceasefire request to the Anti-Entropy Department stationed in Haiyuan City.

To put it nicely, it's a request for a ceasefire, but the fact that they've given up their weapons right now can be called surrender...

On the other hand, Einstein and other anti-entropy personnel were at a loss for a moment when they saw the Destiny troops, who had just pushed them into a desperate situation, suddenly make such a magical move, and even wondered if this was a trap. However, as the armed submarines of Destiny took the initiative to disarm and shield and sent a ceasefire request again, Einstein finally accepted the other party's communication with half belief and half doubt, and agreed to let them anchor at the outpost.

After all, actively removing the shield means that any shell can cause damage to their submarine! If they continue to remain unarmed, a round of salvos from the artillery position will be enough to destroy the submarine force!

However, after careful consideration, Einstein decided not to do so. Although this seemed like a good time to launch a surprise attack, the Valkyries of Destiny were not fools. Although it was strange to send a ceasefire request under such circumstances, it did not mean that they would give up resistance and allow the anti-entropy to destroy them. The act of actively removing the shield was, after all, just a way to show sincerity. In the final analysis, the absolute power gap between the two sides would not change because of this.

Now, are there any other options...

(Then let me see...what on earth are you trying to do!)

·————————————·

The outer barrier of Haiyuan City can separate the interior from the outside world, allowing the ruins area on the seabed to maintain a stable atmospheric environment.

In other words, including the slightly protruding part of the outpost, the entire Haiyuan City is without sea water.

As a result, after Tianming's submarine passed the sentry post and entered the barrier of Haiyuan City, it lost power and fell directly from the cross section of the sea water, lying on the land with air environment like a salted fish waiting to be slaughtered. Every day, a new novel group will be updated.

":3;6':;5,9,",3,8!:.9;?can't float up again. Seeing this, Einstein finally believed the Valkyries' request for a truce, walked out from behind the shield of the watchtower, and watched the Valkyries struggling to climb out of the submarines that were lying in all directions.

They didn't even have the Valkyrie armor, and just wore defenseless uniforms, exposing themselves to the aiming of countless turrets around them. Holding their companions' hands and walking forward carefully, Einstein could see that these Valkyries who were ordered to disarm were also filled with worries and uneasiness...

Well, in this way, the speculation that the Valkyries used the landing to launch a strong attack was also broken. At this moment, the initiative has completely fallen into the hands of Anti-Entropy. These Valkyries who lost their submarines and were exposed to the defensive turrets have completely abandoned their original overwhelming advantages and handed them over to their opponents.

For some reason, when Einstein saw the strange things happening in front of him, the first thing he thought of was the silver-haired girl who placed them here. That's right, apart from Shirley, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could have caused such a strange thing.

(What the hell is that guy doing?)

Slowly climbing out of the hatch of the command boat that had flipped 90 degrees, Youlandel looked at the heavy artillery pointed at her and frowned with some worry. Although Otto's order was to cease fire with Anti-Entropy and assist them in repairing Haiyuan City, the way they were doing it now was like a group of prisoners being driven to a prisoner-of-war camp...

"Don't worry, Lord Yulandel. I know the leaders of the Anti-Entropy Organization. Mr. Walter and Miss Liesel, who are stationed here, will not harm an enemy who voluntarily lays down their weapons."

"But even if that's the case, can you really guarantee that your prediction is correct? You've put our troops in such a dangerous situation so carelessly... Never mind, you're the commander of the troops anyway, and I have no right to say anything more here."

Looking at Rita who jumped out of the submarine after her, Yulandel shook her head somewhat dissatisfiedly, and glanced around the open space at the energy turrets aimed at this side, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes again.

At this point, even an S-rank Valkyrie like her was not sure she could escape unscathed. Even if she could instantly summon her Valkyrie armor, the wound she sustained from the previous battle with Walter was not as minor as it seemed...

"I'm very sorry, but this is our mission, Lord Yulandel."

Walking up to the blonde girl, Rita's cherry-red pupils were also covered with a layer of haze.

"The mistakes made by the Bishop must be made up for by us... I can only hope that this can slightly heal the rift between us and Anti-Entropy."

"Rita, did something happen at the headquarters?!"

"...You don't need to worry about this, Lord Yulandel. It is only my subordinates' job to handle these matters."

Although the girl's sharpness was beyond her expectations, after saying this, Rita walked directly past Yulandel and for the first time ignored the blonde girl's questioning and left, walking straight towards the watchtower facing her.

540 Magic Machine>>

(Only by stabilizing the current situation can we avoid greater losses... After all, the current Destiny can hardly withstand the revenge of a powerful Herrscher...)

Einstein, who was standing on the platform at the moment, also saw the brown-haired girl approaching from below. With the help of the previous communication screen, she quickly confirmed the other party's identity.

Einstein walked slowly out of the elevator door and came to the ground accompanied by a tactical mecha. He looked at the brown-haired Valkyrie who was gradually approaching and spoke in a deep voice.

"Nice to meet you. You are the commander of this unit, Ms. Rita Rossweisse, right? I'm glad that we can avoid war, but...if possible, can you tell me the reason?"

"Greetings, Lady Lisel. I will explain this matter to you, and I hope to clear up the misunderstanding between Tianming and you..."

Being locked by the detectors of several tactical mechas, Rita's expression did not waver at all, and she answered calmly. Under Yulandel's worried eyes, she got closer to Einstein and the surrounding mecha troops...

"...In short, Otto still underestimated the Herrscher. Perhaps because the battle to annihilate the Herrscher of the Void went too smoothly, he thought he could defeat me with those arrangements. Hmph...I don't need to say much about the result. As a loser, he dares to obstruct my actions now?"

After knocking down the Valkyries that blocked their way, Cialis led Claire and Charlotte and continued to move forward towards the target location. While running, she took the time to tell Claire the general ins and outs of the matter. After clearing the girl's doubts, she focused again and continued to move forward towards the planned escape route...

It is worth mentioning that Shilis's purpose is not to go to the real outer exit of Helheim Laboratory.

The route he was taking was a route leading to the deeper space of the floating island.
