K424 of the Collapse World

The Herrscher of Fire remained silent, covering the huge hollow wound on his abdomen and curling up his body slightly to relieve the constant pain.

Not all Herrschers have the power of creation. Although she can use energy to repair herself, she is destined to not be able to do it instantly like Shirley and Hill. Such a serious injury will take her at least ten minutes to repair.

"By the way...how did you just kill her?"

Although this kind of pain was within her tolerance, it was still a painful process. In order to divert her attention, she tried to talk to her companions.

"Although I know that your ability is related to consciousness, but what exactly is it like? Of course, I am not curious, I just want to understand the nature of the power of my companions..."

"I used an illusion to fulfill her dream, allowing her to stay in the happiest moment forever in the arms of her beloved."

The Herrscher of Fire's eyes widened when he heard the pink-haired girl's explanation.

"What?! Why...why are you doing this?"

"...Hmm? Do you want to spare her life?"

"No... I mean, why let her die so easily? With your ability, you should be able to bring her hellish torture, right? For example, that dirty city, or your own personal experience..."

"..."

Hearing the Herrscher of Fire's suggestive words, the pink-haired girl's eyes trembled, as if she had thought of something bad. Her expression became gloomy for a moment, but returned to normal the next moment, returning to her previous slightly cold look.

"She is innocent, as a human being."

"oh......?"

"I will only punish those humans who are guilty. The innocent should rest in peace. As for the traitors who stole divine power... wouldn't it be better to let God punish them personally?"

Hearing this, the Herrster of Flame snorted.

"Don't you think that human beings themselves are original sin?"

"I will judge for myself whether a person is guilty or not."

"Hehe... Are you going to go beyond the will of God and decide on the standard of human sin? I didn't realize you're even more arrogant than me."

"We are the messengers of God who judge mankind. What's wrong with judging the crimes of ants and reptiles according to our own preferences? Our duty is to destroy civilization. As long as we achieve this goal, it doesn't matter what the process is."

"..."

The Herrscher of Fire was a little stunned and speechless. She finally shrugged without comment and ended the topic hastily.

Arguing with a Herrscher who is good at manipulating consciousness? You'd better save yourself the trouble.

Just as she shut up and was about to concentrate on repairing her injuries, the Herrscher of the Heart suddenly floated towards her.

"What the hell... Hey! What are you doing?!"

Amid the Herrscher of Fire's exclamation, the pink-haired girl put her arms around her shoulders and lifted her up by the waist.

"Someone's coming to trouble."

"Varied......?"

"It's not time for a full-scale war yet. Your current state is not suitable for movement. This will make it easier to evacuate quickly."

After saying this concisely, the pink-haired girl flew across the sky with her companions, disappearing on the distant horizon...

Two minutes after they disappeared, a golden beam of light quickly broke through the clouds and arrived at the sea where the northern archipelago was located.

At this moment, the remains of this archipelago were only filled with water vapor, raging waves, and a high concentration of collapse factors that were almost visible to the naked eye. The original archipelago had completely disappeared.

586 A Completely Changed World

Sitting in front of the terminal of the cathedral, the tired-looking blond man looked at the chaotic city on the screen with a terrifyingly gloomy expression.

"That damn Tesla..."

Otto, who was forced to leave his prosthesis because of the Honkai alarm, knew that the thinking circuit of his Soul Steel prosthesis had been tampered with the moment he regained consciousness. After all, he could still clearly recall the things that happened when he was demented, and even remember every thought in his mind when he did those stupid things that he thought were natural.

However, Otto had no time to worry about those things that could be considered as his dark history. The emergency that forced him to forcibly interrupt his mental connection was enough to put everything else on the back burner.

The Herald has arrived...

"What's the situation?"

Turning to the silver-haired adjutant beside him, he asked in a deep voice, with a hint of fatigue in his expression.

"Your Excellency, in Lanxi City, the epicenter of the Honkai disaster, only some blocks have caught fire, and it has been brought under control. However, the number of witnesses of the Honkai phenomenon has reached over a million, and Commander Claudia has terminated the confidentiality of the intelligence."

Amber bowed and reported calmly in her usual toneless voice. No matter what happened, this mechanical adjutant lady would not panic. As one of the spokesmen of the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny, her calmness could also slightly ease the tense atmosphere of the command center.

"Well, she did the right thing. With something like this happening, the Honkai disaster will inevitably be exposed to the eyes of the world in advance, and the truth can't always be in the hands of a few people. There's no need to spend more effort on it."

Otto nodded, and casually called up the detection record of the Herrscher's Honkai energy. Looking at the metal shield and the giant fireball in the satellite monitoring screen, he showed a surprised look.

"Was the one who fought against the new Herrscher of Flame in Blue Creek City a Herrscher with metallic abilities? I remember a reserve Valkyrie in Saint Lourdes Academy also had this ability, but her power should not have reached the level of a Herrscher... Was it her?"

"Yes, Nina Jones, the C-rank Valkyrie of St. Lourdes Academy, and the recipient of the Artificial Herrscher Project No. 014. Based on the remains that Miss Shiris just found near the Rosold Islands, it has been confirmed that it was she who fought against the Herrscher of Flame."

"Oh? The experimental subject of that project, the metal ability... is the fifth Herrscher, right? Did she awaken her Herrscher ability temporarily? Or has she been hiding her power from the beginning? Never mind, it's not important anymore."

Otto shook his head. Although he was somewhat interested in the Valkyrie who suddenly showed her Herrscher ability, since the girl was already dead, he would put it aside for now. There were too many things to deal with at the moment...

Otto called up the tracking records of Honkai energy and frowned as he looked at the transfer area of ​​large-scale Honkai energy reactions.

"First, she used a large-scale Honkai attack in Lanxi City, but was stopped by Nina Jones and then engaged in a battle. Later, a high-intensity Honkai energy reaction occurred in the northern Atlantic Ocean, which lasted for about two minutes, and then the energy reaction completely disappeared... This is the last record, right? It's really strange. Those simple-minded killing machines actually acted secretly this time? Her Honkai energy intensity is far greater than Nina's. She attacked the city but didn't kill everyone. What is her purpose..."

Thinking of the second Herrscher who was wiped out, Otto could never imagine that those arrogant and inflated Herrschers would actually try to hide themselves?

Moreover, there are more strange things. The Herrscher of the Void is not good at direct combat, but he dares to expose himself to everyone and challenge the human civilization of the whole world; the Herrscher of the Flame, who has the strongest direct destructive power in the records, is like a calculating conspirator, secretly carrying out some activities.

To put it in a metaphor, it's like the frail Zhuge Liang charging into battle with a sword, while the strong Lu Bu is sitting in a wheelchair giving advice. The two Herrschers' principles of action are completely inconsistent with their own abilities. Putting aside the defeated Herrscher of the Void, if the Herrscher of the Flame is really as powerful as she thinks, and is also good at strategy and calculation, then there is no doubt that she will be the most terrifying enemy...

Otto's eyes gradually became serious.

That's right, as long as the Herrscher put away his arrogance, Sirin ten years ago could easily defeat the Destiny Army at that time. At least in Otto's opinion, if he and the second Herrscher were to switch roles, he would have no less than a thousand ways to easily destroy the entire human civilization.

As long as they use their abilities properly, every Herrscher theoretically has the power to destroy the world. However, this is only in theory. If the "players" who become Herrschers themselves are not skilled enough, they will naturally be defeated by human civilization.

And the Herrscher of Flame, who can pose a huge threat simply by squandering his power, if he were to add a certain amount of caution and strategy, then...

"It's not as easy as we thought to reset the Honkai countless times... It seems that the plan has failed? No, since the seventh Herrscher awakened directly, it means that the identities of the fourth to sixth Herrschers have been recognized by Honkai, regardless of whether they are loyal to Honkai..."

Otto muttered to himself and gently closed his eyes. Reviving Kallen and destroying Honkai were his ultimate goals. But if the former could no longer be achieved using Honkai, then he could only focus on the latter.

In any case, there is no turning back.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, I just received a message from the United Nations that the impact of the Herrscher of Flame has begun to spread on a large scale. Combined with the previous 'God's Messenger' incident in Singapore, people from various countries have begun to put pressure on the government to explain the truth of the disaster and the source of the floating battleship. May I ask..."

"Let the Senate deal with those politicians. We have more important things to do."

Whether it is the destruction and chaos caused by the disaster to the city, or the social unrest caused by the truth of the collapse, it is more important than the Herrscher.

The threat itself is not a big deal.

586 Completely Changed World>>

Under the threat of collapse, the fate of all mankind is tied together. Whether it is the ordinary people who are unaware of the collapse or the Valkyries who fight against collapse, perhaps, from the beginning, everyone should bear the responsibility of this truth together...

But now, it seems too late to say this.

"Let's go, Amber, to the headquarters command center. I need to ask Claudia about some details about the data left by the Seventh Herrscher. Also, help me contact Shiri... Never mind, I'll go find her myself later, but first I have to let that stupid red-haired guy restore my prosthetic skills to normal..."

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

Looking at Otto's suddenly strange expression, Amber tilted her head in confusion, but still responded softly as usual and followed Otto to the church door.

"...That's just the way it is."

In the conference room of the Far East Branch, the silver-haired girl sitting at the head of the table murmured softly, looking at her colleagues sitting at the conference table with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Theresa and Himeko, the leaders of the Far East branch; Tesla and Cocolia, the representatives of anti-entropy; Diana, Mei, Fu Hua and other Valkyries; Bronya, Seele, Xing and other children from the orphanage, as well as Siegfried, Diana and Claire, and even the families of Yaesakura and Cialis... not only those related to Cialis, but also a few senior officials of the Far East branch, gathered together in the conference room for the first time.

However, unlike the cheerful atmosphere at previous gatherings of the girls, this time, an extremely depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire room, making it almost difficult to breathe.

When Shiris followed the fluctuations of Honkai energy and crossed thousands of miles to the Atlantic Ocean, the battle was over.

After a brief communication with the Destiny Organization, she brought the information about the Herrscher's arrival back to the Far East Branch, along with the cold body of the girl who fought to the last moment.

Looking at the slightly depressed silver-haired girl, Siegfried shook his head slightly, breaking the silence in the conference room.

"Don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault, Shilis... The Herrscher has landed on the other side of the Earth. Even you can't get there in a few minutes."

"If I had been a few minutes faster, the girl who saved the city wouldn't have died alone. I'm sorry, I just feel a little sorry that I couldn't save that child... Iselin's friend..."

Shirley sighed softly and looked at an empty seat in front of her on the left, her eyes becoming somewhat complicated.

Iselin did not attend the meeting. When she saw Nina's body, she locked herself in the room and no one could open it. Even Xing Qiang, whom she was most afraid of, tried to break in, but was thrown out by her mechanical arm.

Shiris had heard that Iselin had chosen to join Anti-Entropy in order to find a way to cure Nina. This was enough to show how important that girl was to her...

The sudden arrival of the Herrscher was something that was expected. However, this was undoubtedly a disaster for the

"Cough-cough-"

Looking at her terminal, Theresa coughed lightly and read out a message from headquarters.

"That... Commander Claudia of Sky's Destiny said that Nina is the Valkyrie of Saint Lourdes Academy. Sky's Destiny organization plans to hold a funeral of the highest level for her. Even Grandpa Otto will attend, as well as representatives and media from all over the world..."

"Wait, Theresa, what did you say?! Representatives from various countries and media attended the funeral of Valkyrie?"

"That's right. Just a few minutes ago, the United Nations has decided to hold an emergency press conference to fully disclose information about the Houkai disaster to the public. Of course, the Destiny Organization will partially disclose it. This was decided at the last branch director meeting."

"this......"

"Although it was a little earlier than scheduled, something like this happened and the residents of the entire city were witnesses to the disaster. Under such circumstances, public opinion naturally could not be suppressed."

Looking at the participants who all looked astonished except Shirley, Theresa explained helplessly and turned the terminal screen to the next page.

"The scene where Nina blocked the fireball to protect the city was seen by all the citizens of Lanxi City. Some people even filmed it and posted it online. After the information about the collapse was made public, the Destiny Organization and the Valkyries must present themselves to the public in a positive light. Starting with a hero's funeral will help ordinary people accept us 'supermen'... That's what it says."

After Theresa finished speaking, she looked around at the girls who were deep in thought, and her eyes finally fell on the calm Silis.

"Shiris, do you think this is okay?"

"...You should ask the kid's friends about this."

"But Iselin is ignoring us right now... Wait, where are you going?"

"Airport. After this happened, Haiyuan City will be temporarily taken over by other anti-entropy executors. The leader and Aiyin will

came back. "

As Silis spoke, she gently pushed open the metal door of the conference room and looked back at Theresa.

"You are the leader of this Far East branch, so of course you decide on matters of destiny. But is it really necessary to worry about such a small matter? Even if Iselin disagrees, there will always be such a lack of 'heroes' among the Valkyries of the Destiny Organization, right?"

After saying that, she turned around, hiding the irritation in her eyes, and left the meeting room with heavy steps under the complicated gazes of the girls.

What they have to face is not hypocritical political propaganda and public opinion pressure, but the executors of the will of collapse...

587 Popularization of Honkai Information

Shenzhou......

"So, kids, what is your dream career in the future?"

At the podium, a young woman spoke with a smile, looking at the first-grade students sitting in the classroom, and handed out a stack of papers.

"Okay, everyone, take a few minutes to think about your future career and write it down on this piece of paper, then take turns sharing it with everyone. Are you ready~?"

"Ready!"

The primary school children answered in unison with long drawled sounds, and then wrote down crooked Chinese characters and pinyin on the cards as arranged by the teacher. The quick children could not wait to stand up and read aloud as soon as they finished writing.

“I want to be an astronaut when I grow up!”

"Nini...Nini wants to be a pot scientist in the future~"

"My mother said that I should be a doctor in the future..."

"..."

The children were excitedly talking about their future dreams, and the young teacher smiled and nodded to each child. Suddenly, she noticed that there was a little boy in the last row who remained silent. He folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at his classmates with a defiant and contemptuous look, as if he was looking at a group of kindergarten children.

"Student Wang Xiaoming, what is your dream?"

Wanting to get every student to participate in the activity, the young teacher tried to call out the boy's name. Upon hearing this, the boy in the last row stood up with a pout, and like a child of this age who likes to imitate cartoon characters, he struck a pose that he thought was very handsome.

"I will become the Valkyrie of Destiny in the future!"

"...Valkyrie?"

As the boy's childish and loud voice uttered, the young teacher's smile began to stiffen when he heard the new word. The noisy classroom immediately became silent, and everyone turned around and looked at the proud boy with surprised expressions on their faces.

"But Xiao Ming...can't Valkyrie only be a girl?"
