K424 of the Collapse World

"this......"

"I know that there will probably be a large-scale battle with Honkai soon. You've been running around recently because of this, right? Don't think we don't know anything. You, your thoughts are all written on your face."

Tesla said seriously as he looked at the silver-haired girl's blue eyes, and slowly took a step forward. With her hacking skills and the intelligence power of Anti-Entropy, it would be easy for her to find some information from Shiris' actions in the past few months.

"......"

"Hmm? You're still keeping silent until now. I'm really a little suspicious... Shirley, why are you just standing there and saying nothing? According to Aiyin's intelligence, the attack on their destiny is also very suspicious. Shirley, are you really betraying me?"

Although Tesla said this in a joking tone, the girl didn't find it funny at all. After weighing it in her mind for a while, she sighed softly, and her pupils that had been fluctuating focused again.

Having experienced countless times the Final Herrscher's advent, Shiris already understood that even if she said nothing, in the end, facing the irresistible power of the Final Herrscher, no one on this planet would be able to stay out of it.

It seems that, for the top leaders of both organizations, the plan is no longer a secret except for the core part. Even if it is to protect those children, the leaders should be mentally prepared first...

(In that case, I can only tell her everything except the final plan...)

"You don't have to do anything. Just be prepared to fight back before the next collapse comes."

"Clam?"

"That's right. If that plan goes smoothly, the mastermind behind the Honkai side will never sit idly by. What awaits us will be a defensive battle of sacrificing pawns to save the king... Hehe, as for 'that plan', even you will be shocked after hearing it..."

558 Two Choices

"The Quantum Sea Project...?"

The temporary file copied in the database was transformed into a suspended holographic projection under the power of the Heavy Bunny and reappeared in front of Diana.

Reincarnation... Limits of Civilization... Quantum Sea... Shelter... Eye of the Abyss...

The incomplete information formed fragmented data, like shining stars, lingering around the silver-haired girl. Looking at these remaining files that recorded the Quantum Ocean Project, Diana's eyes gradually became solemn.

"Is this what Sister Shilis has been busy with all this time..."

The contents of these confidential files, including the results of the discussion between Shiris and Otto, and even a series of measures proposed to end the collapse, are recorded to a certain extent. Although the information obtained by using abnormal means is incomplete, based on these known contents alone, it is still enough to know the general content of the entire plan.

"That's right. We will use the Quantum Ocean that contains countless mirror universes as the core of the plan. We will use energy amplification to maximize the range of the Eye of the Abyss, build a channel between this world and other worlds, and then... exile the entire planet to another world in the Quantum Ocean!"

Picking up a phantom of data fragment, Hill looked at the information reflected on it and whispered to himself, with a seriousness that did not match his age on his young face.

"But as expected, this... is it really okay? The world of the Quantum Sea is just as dangerous as the Honkai. Seele has been there for a long time, so she knows..."

"Well... Seele, your concerns are reasonable. Although this plan sounds incredible, if the Honkai really comes from a powerful alien civilization, Bronya thinks there is nothing wrong with this decision."

Bronya continued as she sat on the left paw of the Heavy-Armored Bunny and made a slight adjustment on the control panel. The surface of a holographic globe was then marked with densely packed dots.

"Shelters built in densely populated areas around the world can effectively reduce the risk of human quantization. After all, their plan is to quantize the entire Earth and then transfer it to the solar system of another world bubble, sharing an orbit with the third star of the new world bubble..."

After defeating the Herrscher of the End, Shiris' plan is to use quantization to transfer the entire Earth to other world bubbles in order to avoid subsequent pursuit by alien civilizations.

However, although the quantum technology of Anti-Entropy is quite perfect, as long as the interference is quantized, the deployment and retreat of mechanical troops can be easily completed. However, taking the entire planet as a quantized target is naturally completely different from the level of a few mechas.

"..."

Listening to the conversation between Bronya and Seele, Diana opened her eyes blankly, her blue pupils had lost focus. She had been unable to understand the conversation between the two girls since the middle of the conversation, and now, they suddenly talked about alien civilizations and concepts such as the quantum sea. Naturally, she could not understand everything immediately. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would even suspect that the two girls could no longer distinguish between the game and reality.

However, even if she only had a vague understanding, for Diana, it was enough to understand one thing.

"In other words, as long as Sister Shiris's plan succeeds, Honkai can be completely eliminated from this world, right?"

"That's still uncertain. According to the records of the meeting, their plan was a gamble. "Breaking the cycle of destruction of Honkai is an unprecedented attempt, so the risk and success rate are unpredictable." These are the original words of the Bishop of Destiny. "

Bronya said calmly. She knew these secrets earlier than Diana, so she was somewhat used to the situation. She grew up in the Cocolia Orphanage to which Anti-Entropy belonged, and she also had some knowledge of quantum technology, so it was not difficult for her to understand the outline of the plan.

However, regardless of whether the global quantization plan can succeed, before reaching this step, we still have to face the biggest challenge.

The strongest Herrscher who has reset human civilization hundreds of thousands of times and has never lost a single battle. If you want to successfully change the world, you must first defeat this Herrscher of the End.

Although Bronya had lightly mentioned this point, Diana did not miss this detail. In other words, no matter what the final decision is, humans and Honkai will have to fight to the death before then.

For an ordinary Valkyrie, the final battle is undoubtedly a life-or-death struggle...

As she thought about it, the girl's expression became complicated.

"......But, since these are confidential files, that means Sister Shilis and the others don't actually want us to know these things, right?"

"That's right. And it's not just us. Even Kiana and Dr. Tesla are completely clueless. Bronya can probably guess what Sister Shiris is thinking."

Bronya gently jumped down from the mechanical claws of the Heavy-Armored Bunny, raised her hand and slid lightly across the operating panel, and the holographic projection that filled the room instantly dissipated.

She casually opened the curtains to let the warm sunlight fill the bedroom floor again, and Bronya sat on the chair next to her with a slightly downcast look.

"According to Sister Shilis' usual style, she would never drag others to do something that she can solve alone. According to their plan, the Bishop of Heaven's Fate has completed all other necessary preparations and only needs to wait for the final battle to begin. So, there is nothing else we need to do."

558 Two choices >>

As she spoke, Bronya's expression relaxed again, as if she had forgotten the secret just now. However, she immediately looked at Seele, and her worried eyes seemed to have revealed something...

"So, sister wants us to be carefree children who know nothing, and wait for others to desperately save the world?"

"Ah! About that..."

"So... even if you know these things, what can you do, Miss Diana? Bronya told you these secrets because she thought that as that man's sister, Diana had the right to know what her sister was doing. Moreover, if you act recklessly, the secret of Bronya's private hacking into the database will be exposed... Stupid Diana, do you want to cause trouble for Sister Shiris?"

Bronya interrupted Seele who was trying to explain something and stared at Diana. Her gray eyes

The hole seemed to solidify.

"Don't worry. Even if I'm caught acting on my own, I won't betray you. And, so, have you also told Sister Kiana about this?"

Observing the girl's reaction, Diana asked again tentatively, but the latter's answer made her frown.

"No, Sister Kiana is a very paranoid type. If you tell her this, she will definitely participate in the final action at all costs... If that happens, Bronya will definitely make up her mind..."

Bronya shook her head, and her two Roman curls swayed gently. I don't know if it was my illusion, but Diana always felt that this girl's increasingly strange attitude seemed to have a clue...

Considering the girl's previous performance, Diana seemed to have discovered something in the face of Bronya's evasive explanation.

"Bronya, according to your point of view, we just need to act like good students and pretend that we don't know and are completely indifferent even though we know that everyone is about to go to the battlefield, right?"

"No, Sister Shilis's assignment is already completely clear. In this case, even if we want to do something, it will only disrupt her plans..."

"Or... Bronya Zajcek, are you starting to feel scared?"

"—!"

Hearing this, Bronya's eyes widened instantly! After a brief silence, the gray-haired girl lowered her head, her bangs covering her fluctuating pupils.

"Sister Bronya...?"

Realizing that Bronya was behaving strangely, Seele couldn't help but move closer to her sister and cast a worried look at the gray-haired girl.

"It seems that my guess was right... After losing and recovering the most precious treasure, and having experienced the feeling of loss, you will definitely never want to lose it again. I think I can understand your feelings, Bronya."

"Eh?! In other words..."

After hearing Diana's words, Xier's eyes finally showed understanding. She thought that her sister's reason for refusing to fight was that explanation, but now, the reason is obvious.

(Sister Bronya...is it because of me?!)

"You know how dangerous the final battle is, so you're worried, right? You're worried that this child might..."

"I'm sorry, maybe Sister Shilis does think so. It's a bit too cruel to let underage girls go to the battlefield, not to mention that they are already in pairs... Ahem, anyway, forget what I said just now, my two little sisters."

Diana softly broke the stagnant atmosphere, waved her hand generously, and turned to the entrance to leave. However, looking at the two girls snuggling together, the girl thought about it and finally decided to say what was brewing in her heart.

"Bronya, you're actually struggling in your heart, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken the risk of telling me these secrets. You're probably planning to observe my reaction before deciding what to do. You didn't tell Kiana first because you were sure she would act without hesitation... Tsk, I always feel underestimated."

After puffing up her cheeks and grumbling a little, Diana regained her composure and walked forward again, flicking Bronya's spiral hair in a frivolous manner.

"I will go... but first I have to make it clear that you can't force others to make the same choice as you. Similarly, no one can make a choice for you. Seele is your sister, but she is not your property. Besides, you don't have to care about other people's decisions... Yeah! That's all I have to say, and it's not because I'm at a loss for words... Anyway, see you later, Bronya, Seele."

After saying that, the girl left and closed the door. Looking at Bronya who was still a little dazed, Seele frowned and hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up the bold idea that lingered in her mind and gently took the gray-haired girl's hand.

"Sister Bronya, Seele has something to say to you..."

559 The Interweaving of Truth and Falsehood

"Quantizing the entire planet...?"

After listening to Hillis's explanation of the plan, Tesla's reaction was just as the girl expected, with disbelief written all over his face. However, as one of the top scientists in the Anti-Entropy Organization, she quickly put aside these unnecessary surprises and began to analyze the rationality of this plan from a scientific perspective.

"Anti-Entropy's current technology of converting matter into information by quantization can only complete the transfer of one mecha unit, but if the remains of the Eye of the Abyss are used as an amplifier, it is indeed possible to do this... By the way! Even if we move the planet we live on to another world bubble, we may not be able to escape the pursuit of foreign enemies, right? According to you, the collapse is a limiter placed by advanced alien civilizations to suppress the development of human civilization. Then, since we can interfere with the quantum sea, which is more advanced than humans,

How could they, who are countless times more powerful, not be able to do it...?"

Tesla tried hard to convince himself that these plans that sounded like science fiction were real. He rubbed his forehead and recovered from his previous surprise. Although the truth revealed by Shilis was beyond imagination, for some reason, this absurd and reasonable plan made her see a strange feasibility from it...

In simple terms, the technology of anti-entropy quantization is a technology that converts matter into quantum information state for storage and reorganizes the original matter with information when needed. However, what will happen if the user himself and even the entire space he lives in are included in the quantized information state?

(Quantization is basically harmless to the human body. This is a theory I have personally practiced... Then, the remaining question is the prerequisites for the implementation of the plan, and whether the final successful result can solve the current dilemma...)

In order to confirm the rigor of the plan, she had to get more information from the girl.

"Besides, what about the coordinates of the quantum recovery? Even if the entire star is quantum transferred, there should be an accurate target point, right?"

"Regarding this, the Destiny Organization has investigated the Quantum Sea and obtained some intelligence about neighboring world bubbles, including the coordinates of the 'ether anchor point' and other information, which are all well preserved. Therefore, as long as the quantum transfer is carried out, these pre-set parameters will send us to the solar system of another world bubble, sharing the same orbit with the original 'Earth' of that world bubble."

Recalling the theory Otto had proposed not long ago, the girl explained uncertainly. Sure enough, Tesla frowned immediately after hearing this.

"Two planets share the same orbit? Shirley, you should know about gravity, right? If two planets share the same orbit, there will only be two possibilities. Either one of the planets changes its orbit due to gravity and is forcibly "driven out" of the entire star system; or the two planets attract each other under the influence of mutual gravity, eventually leading to a collision... In either case, I don't need to explain the consequences, right?"

"It doesn't matter. The influence of gravity won't take effect too quickly. As long as our planet is dequantized and reappears on the line where the other Earth and the Sun are directly opposite, the two planets can temporarily maintain a relatively stable state. At least within a few hundred years, the two situations you mentioned will not occur."

Having said that, Hillis looked at Tesla who was already lost in thought, sorted out her thoughts a little, and continued speaking.

"If we can really escape the sanctions of the advanced civilization and no longer face the threat of collapse, we will definitely have enough time to find a way to solve the problem of the planet's orbit. But if we can't escape, there is no need to say more about the consequences... In the final analysis, this plan is a gamble. Regardless of success or failure, the cycle of destruction and reset will be broken."

There is only one chance. If human civilization can gradually become stronger in the constant reset until it has the power to defeat Honkai, then the worries of advanced civilizations will become a reality, which means that they will completely destroy human civilization without holding back!

"But... I always feel it's a bit hasty, deciding the future of all mankind so easily..."

"But other than that, is there any other way to break the impasse? If we do nothing, we will just have to accept the reset again and again, and be played around by them. Since we will all be reset by Honkai sooner or later, what is the point of our fight all this time?"

Shirley shook her head, her calm blue eyes showing only determination and resolve.

"Now that we know the truth, we can no longer let those guys control our fate! At least, that's what I think. The Honkai that has pushed us into desperate situations so many times is just a small pawn in the hands of the people behind the scenes. Facing those advanced civilizations whose true identities are unknown, humans have no chance of winning. Therefore, we have no other choice but to flee from them as far as possible and then consider what to do next."

After she finished speaking, Hillis immediately sat down and looked at Tesla sitting opposite her, waiting for the latter's answer.

"But given that the enemy's technology is far superior to ours, even if we move to another world, we will surely be caught up... Never mind, let's not discuss this issue for now. But Shirley, is this the secret you have been hiding from everyone for a while? It doesn't sound like there is anything shameful about it. You don't have to do this. Why don't you just tell us directly from the beginning?"

"If I told you everything from the beginning, would you still be able to concentrate on improving the Moonlight Throne after receiving such an explosive amount of information?"

"Tsk... Don't underestimate the concentration of scientists. Nothing can interrupt my work!"

Tesla looked at Shirley with some reproach and pushed up his glasses. Then, as her temperament suddenly changed, the gentle red pupils behind the lenses suddenly took on a few sharpness.

"But... Shilis, to complete your plan, there is something more important right now, right?"

"Um......?"

"Everything you said is based on'

"You said that humans have defeated Honkai, but you completely avoided talking about how to defeat this powerful enemy. Can I understand that you and Otto are confident enough to defeat Honkai?"

Tesla asked again, staring into the girl's seemingly indifferent eyes, trying to see something in those clear and flawless pupils.

"Let's not talk about the ten Herrschers who haven't appeared yet. Even if they are not your opponents, the Herrscher of the End... can you really defeat her? According to the information obtained from Seele's stigmata, the last era, whose technological level had reached the limit of mechanical civilization, still failed to defeat the Herrscher of the End. If we are still in the development stage, do we really have a chance of winning?"

559 The Interweaving of Truth and Falsehood >>

Tesla continued to ask, his undisguised eyes cast on the girl. After a brief silence, Shilis raised her head slightly and her resolute eyes met Tesla's.

"some."

She nodded, a confident smile on her face.

"The power I inherited comes from the eleventh Herrscher of the Anti-God... Although the power of restraint is activated by Honkai energy, it is a true 'anti-Honkai' power. In my domain, the suppression of Honkai energy is stronger than any other form of energy!"

"Do you want to defeat all the remaining Herrschers on your own...?"

"Of course not. Destiny will naturally provide me with assistance. Besides, have you forgotten the other plan I mentioned before?"

"Ah...what?"

"You are so forgetful... Well, Wind Herrscher Wendy, you should remember, right? Why do you think I would travel all the way to New Zealand just to bring a Herrscher girl I didn't even know back to Saint Freya?"

At this point, the initiative of the topic returned to Hillis's hands again. Looking at Tesla's uncertain expression, it was obvious that the other party had already thought of the purpose of her doing this.

"That's right. The Herrscher who defeated the will of Honkai and successfully maintained his self-awareness will use the power of Honkai to fight for humanity just like us! If the plan goes well, when the Herrscher of the End descends, he will face the siege of nearly half of the traitors, including me!"

Seeing Tesla hesitate to speak, the girl smiled slightly and did not give her a chance to interrupt.

"Regarding the failure of the pre-civilization era, I can probably guess a few reasons. The human leader of that era, Kevin Kaslana, was an extremely paranoid guy. Let's put it this way, although that guy trusts humans very much, it is precisely because he only trusts humans themselves that he never accepts any humans who have come into direct contact with the will of Honkai. Hill is a good example. She had the opportunity to become the first Herrscher to maintain self-awareness in the pre-civilization era. After she finally entered a stable state, she was killed by Kevin without hesitation. That guy only accepts benign Honkai energy that has been specially processed, and never gives anyone infected with Honkai any chance..."

When she said this, the girl sighed softly.
