K424 of the Collapse World

As expected, there was no response to her call, and Claudia's eyes became serious. She began to wonder if Otto had encountered some difficult situation and had to rely on external force to forcibly cut off the connection?

Although using the mind to remotely control the prosthesis will not endanger oneself in theory, it is not impossible to reversely invade the mind through the prosthesis...

"..."

Looking at the blond man with a frown on his face and his breathing becoming increasingly rapid, as if he was enduring something, Claudia weighed the pros and cons and made a decision immediately.

Even if he would be punished for his rash behavior, he could not afford to think too much at this moment! The Bishop was definitely in trouble at this moment.

In short, he must be awakened before something irreversible happens!

Claudia reached out her hand to look at the termination button on the transmission device. As long as she pressed this button, the system would safely cut off the remote consciousness connection and eject the user's consciousness!

"Ugh...don't..."

Suddenly, Otto's weak voice sounded again, and Claudia's hand stopped in mid-air. Just when she thought that Otto had begun to regain consciousness, she found that the majestic bishop still had his eyes closed, but his handsome face, which was slightly flushed, gradually revealed a subtle and mysterious expression.

"Oh~ Don't take it away... I, I can still eat more... Oh..."

It was indeed that familiar low and steady voice, but the words were spoken in the coquettish tone of a little girl. Claudia was stunned, and at that moment, she thought she was hallucinating, but the next moment, this majestic and solemn bishop used his actions to confirm the facts of what Claudia had seen.

“Oh, no, big sis. How can you do this? If you want to do that to my body, you should at least give me two…three pieces of strawberry cake as a token of your sincerity~”

Seeing the sturdy blond man with flushed cheeks and trembling body, Claudia slowly opened her mouth and the corners of her eyes began to twitch. She felt that the image of the mysterious bishop in her mind turned gray and then shattered in her heart.

Ah... Indeed, things that can cause strong emotional fluctuations are not necessarily dangerous...

Claudia, who gradually gave up thinking, didn't know that the look she gave the Bishop of Heaven's Fate at this moment was as disgusting as if she was looking at a pervert who was peeping into the women's bathhouse.

"Meow meow qaq~ How dare you... How dare you touch my noble body without giving me the strawberry cake? Let me go quickly..."

Hearing that deep, sweet male voice again, Claudia felt a chill. Goose bumps seemed to spread from her spine to the back of her head, and she shivered all over.

Even though she became a Valkyrie at a very early age, as a mature woman over thirty years old, Claudia still understood certain things very well.

The next moment, the commander withdrew her hand expressionlessly.

The bishop activated his Soul Steel prosthetic body and went out without giving me any instructions in advance. It must be for his own personal matters. According to the rules, I shouldn't have come to inspect at this time.

Although Claudia has worked with Otto for more than ten years, she has never known what the bishop's hobbies are, so...

Combined with the truth she had seen, Claudia felt that she understood what the bishop was doing with the prosthesis.

Yes... Everyone has their own private life, and the bishop's personal hobbies... well! It's hard for me to judge.

Thinking of this, Claudia suddenly felt fortunate. If she had cut off the connection and woke up the bishop without knowing the truth, not only would the bishop's happy experience be ruined, but he would also be caught on the spot and see something he shouldn't have seen. Afterwards, she would probably be killed by the angry bishop...

Although as an older Valkyrie, her life is fading, but Claudia doesn't want to end in this way. So, some things... just pretend you didn't see them.

She turned around carefully and walked out of the private laboratory lightly, leaving behind the blond man with a smile on his face and saliva flowing down his mouth, who continued to talk to himself quietly under the strong spiritual resonance...

"Lady Claudia, what happened?"

The two Valkyries on duty felt a little strange when they saw Claudia's subtle expression. But the next moment, Claudia raised her index finger in front of her lips and made a whispering gesture.

"The bishop has gone to bed, please speak softly."

"Ah...I'm sorry, Lady Claudia."

Seeing the young Valkyrie immediately understand and lower her voice, Claudia nodded and prepared to turn around and leave. But the next moment, she seemed to suddenly think of something and turned back again.

"By the way, if the bishop wakes up and asks about it, just say that no one has been here. The bishop is usually too tired and rarely has time to rest. Don't let him wake up and ask for such meaningless things.

Things are hard work. "

"Yes, Lady Claudia, we understand..."

"Also, if Colorless Brilliance, Maria and the others come to see the Bishop, Qing must stop them and tell them that the Bishop is doing something very important and must not be disturbed. If you have any questions, come to me."

After explaining all this, Claudia turned around and left the experimental area under the admiring gazes of the two young Valkyries.

"Ms. Claudia is so thoughtful..."

"Well! As expected of the Bishop's agent, you are so thoughtful!"

·————————————·

(Alas... As a senior, I will give you a little help. It would be a shame if a talented S-rank Valkyrie was silenced because of something like this...)

Claudia quickened her pace as she walked along the corridor, trying to drive the scene she had just seen out of her mind in order to restore the tall image of the bishop in her mind.

(By the way...should we add strawberry cake to the Bishop's meals in the future? Or should we find a few more knowledgeable Valkyries to serve him during his break...?)

(Damn it! What was I thinking? How could I do something that would expose myself? The bishop’s secret interests must be handled by him alone. I must not do anything unnecessary. Absolutely not.)

happy New Year!

578 The Beginning of the Incident

On this planet, the civilization established by intelligent life will eventually collapse and be destroyed, and the world will be reset to its most primitive state, and the cycle will continue.

Before this, for countless epochs, no one had ever discovered the source of the collapse, nor had anyone studied the nature and characteristics of the collapse. Did the collapse only exist on this planet, or in the entire solar system, or in the larger Milky Way? No one knew.

But in the final analysis, there is no other Earth in the Milky Way that is suitable for human habitation, so this question is not important. When human technology begins to touch the universe, the judgment from the gods will not be far away.

Birth, development, struggle, destruction. In this only place of residence, the fate of mankind can only be like this, and in the fight against collapse again and again, it will usher in the inevitable failure.

The moment the world was reset, all those glorious products of civilization vanished into thin air... This was how it was supposed to be when the collapsed system was created.

However, since some time ago, the planet's?;' has increased.

Humans, who were unable to defeat the first sequence of the Honkai, gradually began to fight back against the messengers of the Honkai. Relying on the inherited stigmata and lost technology, the threat of the Honkai creatures gradually decreased. Even in every future era, they have the power to threaten the Herrscher to a certain extent...

So, why is this?

Gazing at the huge blue planet in the vast galaxy, the silver-haired girl standing at the junction of the light and dark sides looked up, standing blankly at the bottom of the crater, as motionless as a stone statue.

For that planet where Honkai energy is everywhere, even in the distant universe, with the help of Honkai energy, she can see every move of all life forms on the planet hundreds of thousands of kilometers away...

After an unknown amount of time, the statuesque silver-haired girl suddenly raised her hand and stretched it towards the distant planet ahead.

The pupils with golden particles were slightly waving with a hint of hope, as if they wanted to become a real human being again and return to the cradle of life...

Since the beginning of the first civilization era, there have been more than 260,000 reset cycles, and in the trillions of years, this fantasy has appeared countless times. However, even if you have the power to rival that of a god, this wish will never come true.

Staring at a certain spot on the azure sphere, the girl's abyss-like golden eyes seemed to penetrate the atmosphere and land on a small piece of land, bringing a haunting figure into her sight.

No... maybe, it has been achieved...

The long and peaceful time was suddenly disturbed by a faint and obscure energy ripple. The vision suddenly changed, and the huge crater suddenly became flat, and the endless rocky wasteland around it disappeared, replaced by a huge silver-gray open-air palace.

Suddenly arriving in the vast hall, the girl just flashed her eyes and slowly put down her raised hand, as if she was already accustomed to this situation.

"..."

Following the voice that echoed directly in her mind, the silver-haired girl turned around helplessly and looked towards the innermost part of the palace.

"It doesn't matter. At this stage, this civilization is unable to monitor the outer part of the atmosphere."

On a moon without an atmosphere, the girl could still make sounds normally. She said this in response to that existence.

At the end of the silver-gray hall was a simple stone chair with a pure white human figure sitting on it. The figure had no facial features and was facing the silver-haired girl standing in front of the hall.

"..."

"Well, the two selected Herrschers have been awakened. Their aptitude is enough to reach the peak the moment they are born."

"..."

"Any questions? Two reset executors who have reached a complete body, working together, are enough to sweep away everything in this civilization."

As the slightly dissatisfied mental fluctuations were reflected in her mind, the girl frowned and asked back expressionlessly.

Facing this broken god, the girl's indifferent eyes showed no respect at all. She knew very well that as a life form existing in a different dimension, this high-level civilization monitor called "God" by humans would not care about the attitude of low-level life.

However, it seems that it is not in a good mood now?

Recalling the emotional telepathy just now, the girl had a vague guess in her mind. Recently, the only thing that could make this advanced creature who loved observation and experiment angry was probably that thing.

The mind of the "human from another world" was extracted from the parallel space, and then her brain was forcibly divided, so that the two consciousnesses existed in the same carrier. Then the original individual's thinking was completely formatted, and the mind of the human from another world remained unchanged, and this mixed consciousness was put into the current reincarnation era for observation.

However, the monitor of this advanced civilization did something stupid and did not remove "her" execution authority when entering reincarnation. As a result, the individual who was originally only used for consciousness observation experiments, because of the energy usage authority retained, directly caused a huge impact on this era.

The high-level authority of Honkai Energy enables her to ignore the will of the world. In order to preserve the data, the monitor communicated directly with the alien world, asking him to merge and take over the entire soul body and stop interfering with the reincarnation of the era. In return, after the end of this era, he will become the new world observer...

Thinking of this, a hint of mockery flashed in the girl's eyes. Becoming the observer of the world was equivalent to inheriting "her" position. For mortals, such an identity was no different from the gods they imagined.

The human accepted the tempting offer without hesitation. But unexpectedly, at the last moment, the human betrayed his promise and gave up the carrier, leaving the chance of survival to "her"...

Undoubtedly, this was enough to anger the monitor who viewed humans as ants. But aside from its ultimate impotent rage in the consciousness space, the final result was that it still could not interfere with "her" actions and could only watch this era become more and more chaotic.

578 The Beginning of the Incident >>

As for the human soul, the girl didn't know what would happen to him. However, teasing a higher-dimensional life form was obviously not a wise choice. He would probably end up in a miserable state after destroying the guy's most cherished "toy"...

Yes, the most precious toys. One is "her" and the other is me.

The girl thought silently. As the Herrscher of the End, apart from the absolute control of Honkai energy, she has also reached a near-perfect level of energy utilization over the long years. For example, the thought process just now was completed in an instant.

Regarding that incident, apart from the result of complete failure, the girl did not understand the significance of such an experiment. She only knew that because of this guy's boring experiment that happened on a whim, she lost the sister who had been with her for billions of years.

Given that guy's habits, it is impossible for him to preserve a copy of "her" personality before the experiment. In other words, even if "she" returns here as an observer after the destruction of this era, even if the lost memories are forcibly filled in, she may not be the one he is familiar with.

But what can be done? The ultimate destroyer who controls the fate of the planet is, after all, just a slave of the advanced civilization.

"..."

"There's no need to worry about those individuals with program errors. They are just slightly stronger than some infected creatures. As for 'her'? Humph, after her origin was cut off, even if she obtained the power of the eleventh node, she can only stop one Herrscher at best."

"...!"

"Yes, they seem to have other plans, but..."

Looking indifferently at the pure white humanoid avatar of the monitor, the girl slowly turned around and closed her eyes.

"Even if something unexpected happens, with a civilization that is not yet able to process the core at this age, it is impossible for it to cross the thirteenth node."

After saying this, the silver-haired girl walked slowly towards the exit of the hall without saying hello.

With his back to the white figure, his golden eyes flickered, looking thoughtful...

The burning sensation on her back gradually intensified. When the girl woke up from her deep sleep, all she saw was a strange, pitch-black space.

What on earth is… ?

It's strange, I can clearly feel it

I feel the existence of consciousness, but I don’t feel any ups and downs in my heart.

It was as if he was no longer an independent creature, but had merged into the surrounding darkness.

I always feel like I've lost something important, but it seems like those were my own choices...

However, this should just be some kind of illusion. The feeling of regaining consciousness became more and more obvious, and this black space began to collapse and disintegrate.

But what exactly have I lost...?

·————————————·

"Charlotte! Look! She seems to be waking up!"

"Oh, really?"

In a ward of the infirmary, Asakura Miyuki, who had been guarding beside the bed for the past few days, saw the purple-haired girl's trembling fingers and immediately shouted excitedly, and patted the wolf-eared girl who was sitting on the table looking at the terminal.

"Indeed, given her current condition, she will be fully conscious in a few minutes. I was planning to ask Miss Hillis to come over and take a look, but now it seems that it is not necessary."

Charlotte made this judgment after watching Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's unsteady breathing and trembling eyelids. This time, she did not feel any reaction from Honkai, so this girl should not strangle people like she did last time...

However, compared to the accident, the subsequent explanation is more troublesome.

Charlotte sighed as she looked at the black-haired girl wagging her tail beside her. For some reason, after the misunderstanding that night was resolved, this cat-eared girl stayed here, saying that she wanted to protect her captain. Charlotte didn't say much about this small request and let her stay.

It is always a good thing to have someone familiar accompany Miss Penglai Temple.

"Well......"

The time was shorter than Charlotte expected, and the half-conscious girl quickly regained consciousness. As her eyelids slowly opened, her hazy pink eyes gradually became clear as her eyelashes fluttered several times.

"Master Jiuxiao! You finally woke up!"

"Miss Penglai Temple, this is the fourth day since you fell into a coma after the stigmata were removed. Is there anything abnormal with your body?"

Hearing the greeting, Jiuxiao blinked her eyes, and a calmness that was inconsistent with her usual state flashed across her pupils. Looking at the two girls with animal ears in front of the bed, a layer of confusion once again covered her clear peach-colored pupils.

"Miss Penglai Temple, are you feeling okay?"
