K424 of the Collapse World

Looking at the severely burned silver-haired girl, the Herrscher of Flame felt a little curious. Unlike the Herrscher of Metal, the silver-haired girl below was undoubtedly an ordinary human, with only some crude traces of stigmata transformation on her body. With such strength, she dodged three of his attacks and even successfully counterattacked once. Is this really something a weak ant can do?

"Huh... I've almost reached my limit, so..."

The silver-haired girl exhaled, revealing a hint of helplessness on her half-burned cheek. She clenched her fists without caring about the severe burns that covered nearly 80% of her body.

The armor on his right arm that had been melted by the flames had burned into his flesh and was slowly solidifying again.

She used her only movable left hand to pull out

The slightly deformed pulse sword took a stabbing posture and aimed at the Herrscher of Fire in the sky.

"Humph, I don't know whether to live or die!"

The Herrscher of Fire, who had lost interest, waved his hand and sent out a huge wave of flames, which quickly rushed towards the silver-haired girl who was covered in wounds.

Staring at the flames coming towards her, the girl's eyes suddenly widened and she stabbed the metal sword in her hand towards the fire wave.

Taixu sword energy... penetrate!

As the girl drew her sword, a silver light flashed from the tip of the sword and sank into the overwhelming waves of fire, as silently as a silver needle entering the sea.

The next moment, the raging flames directly engulfed the girl's body. Under the flames of the Herrscher, her weak flesh and blood body was completely reduced to ashes and was directly annihilated in the area where the Law of Destruction erupted.

"..."

Looking at the blazing flames below, the Herrscher of Fire did not show the joy of victory. She opened her eyes wide, and her trembling fingers brushed her cheek, and her fingertips touched a touch of moisture.

The flames protecting her body were maintained, and her body barrier was intact. However, a thin bloodstain quietly appeared on her side face...

Unknown area...

In a laboratory filled with sophisticated instruments, a silver-haired girl in a black and gold dress lay quietly on a mechanical table with her eyes slightly closed.

She wore an electronic mechanical ring on her head, and several cables connected the mechanical ring to the huge machine behind it.

Suddenly, a yellow exclamation mark lit up on the machine's display screen.

"The target port k-428 connection has been disconnected, and is being restored and initialized..."

With the cold mechanical prompt sound, the sound of the machine gradually decreased and finally stopped working.

At this moment, the silver-haired girl, who had been lying on the mechanical table like a sleeping beauty and had not moved for several days, opened her eyes at this moment...

595 The Herrscher's Chess Game

"The law of annihilation... I see."

The silver-haired girl took off the metal ring on her head and put it aside. She sat on the mechanical table with her knees hugged, muttering to herself. Her slightly fluctuating eyes revealed that she was not calm.

"It's really a dangerous power.....It was the right choice to just use a Stand to contact her."

After recovering from the shock of "death", the silver-haired girl gently jumped off the mechanical table, turned off the operating equipment, put on a small shoulder bag, and walked straight to the exit of the metal room.

"Lady Shilis."

Seeing the silver-haired girl walking out of the metal door, the Valkyrie guarding the door immediately bowed.

"Thank you for your hard work. My work has come to an end. Please maintain the transmitter."

"Yes, I will do it immediately."

The Valkyrie who received the order walked into the room, and the silver-haired girl didn't care about anything and walked towards the experimental warehouse in her memory...

The Austrian branch of the Destiny—formerly the research center of the A-E experiment, was the laboratory for the Karen resurrection experiment and the Silin Project. Diana and Silis, as well as Theresa before them, were all born in this place.

This branch base, which once served as a laboratory, has now become Shirley's personal base.

After all the experimental centers were moved to the floating island, it was just a small branch building. Otto naturally didn't mind lending it to the leader of the allies for temporary use.

Thinking of what Raven told "herself" a few minutes ago, a smile appeared on Shilis's lips.

"Haha~? The old guy finally couldn't sit still anymore..."

The world snake hidden in the quantum sea is actually Kevin Kaslana, a survivor of the previous civilization. For Shiris, who has witnessed countless world lines, this news is not a secret.

In a sense, having once joined the World Serpent Organization, Shiris knows the organization inside and out...

According to the original historical trajectory, the World Snake was supposed to officially start its activities after 2016, but due to the current abnormal situation, the plan was changed and it started its activities ahead of schedule. Shiris could roughly guess what Kevin's plan was.

"As long as Kevin is still on the side of humanity, no matter what the World Serpent's original plan was, it will have no choice but to help us push this planet into the quantum ocean."

The girl muttered to herself with a sly smile on her face.

"Although he has lost most of his strength, he is still a warrior who once repelled the Herrscher of the End. He is a good helper in battle..."

Pushing the Earth into the parallel universe of the quantum ocean is only used to avoid the attack of alien civilizations; and the collapse of this planet itself still requires human beings' own power to end.

(To do this, all Herrschers must be defeated and the will of Honkai must be completely destroyed!)

The heavy metal electronic door rose upwards, and the lighting system started up normally after a slight flicker, illuminating the interior of the huge warehouse.

In front of Shilis were hundreds of transparent culture tanks.

, neatly displayed on the floor of the warehouse, completely occupying the storage room that spans a hundred meters.

In the cylindrical culture tanks filled with light blue liquid, there are silver-haired girls with exactly the same appearance, floating motionlessly in the glass culture tanks. Bubbles emerge from their mouths and noses from time to time, proving that their body organs are still functioning.

But this is just an appearance. After all, it is only their bodies that are alive. These clones without personal consciousness will theoretically never wake up naturally. And without the support of willpower, they will easily become puppets of the will of the collapse if they are exposed to a little bit of Honkai energy.

After the experiment of the Sirin Project was declared a success, the K-series experimental subjects after the sequence K423 lost their value and were sealed and placed here. The culture medium was replaced regularly to maintain the operation of the biological system of the experimental subjects.

If she hadn't awakened her self-awareness, Shilis would have been one of these experimental subjects at this moment, locked in a container numbered k424, buried forever in a dark warehouse until it was activated by a new experimental plan, or directly abandoned...

Looking at the flesh puppets in the culture tank, the girl always had mixed feelings every time she saw these "sisters". Although this was not her first time back here, Shirley could never get used to this indescribable subtle feeling.

Even though I have mixed feelings, what I have to do will not change.

Shirley exhaled, walked towards the vertical column numbered K400, passed the first few dozen empty culture tanks, and came to the side of culture tank K429.

Using the technology obtained from Otto's Soul Steel prosthesis, Tesla also created a long-range mental quantization projection device, which is enough to allow those with strong mental power to remotely control objects like Otto's Soul Steel prosthesis.

The production of soul steel prostheses is too expensive for Anti-Entropy, but for Shiris, these K-series clones that cannot generate consciousness but are genetically connected to her are the best tool puppets...

When using mental power to control the artificial puppet, although Shilis cannot use her powerful Herrscher ability, she can boldly investigate and search for the Herrscher's whereabouts without worrying about encountering danger. The impact of real "death" cannot cause any harm to her powerful mental power.

"The law of destruction... the complete annihilation of the material plane."

Deliberately exposing the whereabouts of the small Honkai beast and using the contact of K428 to collect the data of the Herrscher of Flame were all part of Shiris's plan. Based on the data collected when K428 was destroyed, Shiris came to this conclusion.

The experience of world line reincarnation can no longer be used as a reference, because in the countless reincarnations before, the complete Herrscher of Fire has never appeared!

"Not even a particle of matter will be left. It is a complete destruction in the true sense... The part of the organism burned by the flames will also be destroyed along with the genetic blueprint. It will never be able to repair itself..."

595 The Herrscher's Chess Game>>

Shirley's expression became solemn. Although she was confident that she could eliminate the Herrscher of Flame the moment he launched his attack, if she failed, the destroyed law would cause her heavy damage that was difficult to repair, and it might even make her lose her ability to move for a long time!

The burning of the genetic blueprint was the result of the destruction law taking effect. Therefore, the restraining force could not dispel its influence, and could only use the computer to refer to the remaining genetic faults and slowly reconstruct them. If her hands and feet were destroyed by the flames during the battle with the Herrscher of Fire, she would probably have to rely on mechanical prostheses to maintain her activities for a long time.

Electronic machines cannot operate in a restricted area. In other words, if something like that happened, Shiris's combat power would be weakened by more than half...

"To deal with the Herrscher of Flame, you must deploy a restraining field the moment you encounter her, and directly seal her Honkai energy, making it impossible for her to use her laws. In the final analysis, it is only her attack power that is dangerous. As long as her Herrscher ability is suppressed, Fu Hua's Grand Void Sword Intent will be enough to kill her."

Shirley paced slowly in the storage room, thinking about countermeasures. She glanced at the experimental subjects in the culture tank and shook her head slightly.

"No, I need more information... My enemy is more than just a Herrscher of Fire. I can't let anything go wrong when dealing with her. If she plans to keep hiding like this, I'll use this opportunity to collect more information about her abilities."

Not to mention the final Herrscher of the End, Shiris has not forgotten that there is more than one Herrscher hiding in Antarctica.

"The Herrscher who was born at the same time as the Herrscher of Fire should be one that is adjacent to the seventh Herrscher... Then, will it be the sixth Herrscher or the eighth Herrscher?"

No matter which Herrscher it is, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble. Moreover, the ability of the perfect eighth Herrscher is still unknown...

"The Herrscher who controls consciousness...will probably be similar to Fu Hua's Yu Duchen, killing the target from the world of consciousness and completely destroying the creature's spirit. Then, her ability will naturally not be able to trap me."

No matter what ability a Herrscher has, within the limits of the Herrscher's domain,

Under the control, they would lose their Herrscher abilities and could only fight with melee combat. In close combat, he would not lose to those little girls who knew nothing about fighting.

Recalling the battles since she inherited this core, Shilis said this with certainty.

"But, is the ability of the Herrscher who controls consciousness really that simple... Wait! Could it be that..."

Suddenly, a terrible guess came to her mind, and the girl's face quickly turned ugly. Without time to check K429's physical condition, she hurriedly took out the personal terminal in her bag and sent a communication request to the Tianming headquarters...

North American Anti-Entropy Branch, Jungle Monitoring Station.

In front of the entrance of the base hidden in the dense forest, with a fluctuation of light and shadow, several figures wearing special armor removed their optical camouflage and appeared in the open space in front of the base without any warning.

The leading woman stepped forward, took out her terminal, and stuck it to a tree in front.

"Authentication completed, number u40113s7"

After the prompt tone, the dense forest blocking the road ahead slowly parted to both sides, revealing the steel building hidden behind it.

Several figures walked in without hesitation. The next moment, the entrance slowly closed, as if nothing had happened...

"Master Executor, how can I help you?"

Inside the slightly small base of the monitoring station, a smiling white man came towards the visitors and raised his hand to greet them.

Hearing this, the girl walking in front stopped and took off her tactical helmet.

"Hello, Mr. Winmire."

As the smooth black hair cascaded down, two soft cat ears popped up from the head and shook nimbly.

"This is the third special task force of the ME company. I am the team leader, Miyuki Asakura. Based on the request for assistance you sent, I have come to investigate the Houkai reaction near the monitoring station."

"Ah...! Thank you for your support, Ms. Asakura Miyuki."

The man was slightly stunned at first when he saw the furry pointed ears on Miyuki's head, but after confirming the girl's mission, he immediately smiled with relief.

"We were just worrying about how to deal with those gathered Honkai creatures. Fortunately, you arrived in time..."

"Eh? Is this an emergency?"

"Yes, it's urgent!"

As the man spoke, he quickly took out his terminal, quickly called up the operation screen and pressed a few buttons, then took two steps forward and came in front of Asakura Miyuki.

"Ms. Executive, please look here..."

Hearing the man's signal, Miyuki moved closer and looked at the man's terminal screen. At this moment, thick white smoke spewed out of the exhaust vents of the base, which quickly began to spread across the base.

"This is......?!"

"Damn it! They're already here!"

"Hey, what's going on? You guys..."

Looking at the team members who were on alert, Asakura Miyuki hurriedly asked the man beside her, but before she finished her words, her pupils suddenly contracted!

A tiny spike with a blue glow popped out of the terminal in the man's hand! While Miyuki was looking around to divert her attention, he stabbed the spike into her waist...

596 The First Step

"hiss...!"

With a palm, she knocked the terminal out of the man's hand and immediately jumped back to create some distance. Her pure black eyes were tinged with a layer of blood-red light.

"What are you doing?! What the hell is this......"

Covering her stabbed waist, Asakura Miyuki glared at the expressionless man. Her pointed cat ears stood up straight in her excitement.

——Plop

However, before the girl finished her words, the Valkyries standing beside her suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground.

“What, what is this…?”

“My body hurts so much!!”

"My power... is gone?!"

Looking at her companions who suddenly became weak, Asakura Miyuki opened her eyes wide in astonishment, then focused her gaze at the white mist that spread around her, and immediately understood something.

"Mr. Winmire, what do you mean by this? What did you do to my team?!"

Protecting the Valkyries who had lost their fighting ability behind her, Asakura Miyuki asked sternly, looking vigilantly at the guards who were surrounding her, with crystalline nails extending from her fingertips.

"…Because they are coming."

The man said calmly, picked up the terminal that was knocked to the ground by Miyuki, and began to input commands.

"Before you, I have come..."
