K424 of the Collapse World

"you mean......"

"Let's assume that the default order of the Herrscher's birth has not changed. Ms. Shilis, you know that the first five Herrschers of Honkai have already appeared one by one, and after Ms. Hill merged with the Serenity Gem in the Singapore incident, she was also determined by the Honkai Will to be the sixth Herrscher, so the seventh Herrscher - the Herrscher of Flame - will appear at this time. In my opinion, the most likely one is probably the one after her."

Otto analyzed, looking at the silver-haired girl whose expression remained unchanged and smiled faintly.

"It seems that you already have the answer to this question in your heart, right, Miss Shilis?"

"Yeah...but I'd rather be wrong."

The girl smiled bitterly, and while organizing her words, her eyes began to become extremely stern.

"The Eighth Herrscher is the Herrscher who controls consciousness. Although in the records of the previous civilization, the Fire Moth easily defeated the Herrscher who had no direct destructive power, but that was only the Eighth Herrscher in its new state..."

"According to historical records and Yu Duchen's ability analysis, the only known abilities of the new Eighth Herrscher are to create illusions and disrupt perception, attacking from the consciousness level. However, Honkai energy can corrode the will of living things, which makes the Eighth Herrscher's abilities seem unremarkable."

"But when has there ever been a weak Herrscher in Honkai? Assuming that the Eighth Herrscher of our era has evolved to its full form like the Herrscher of Flame, then...how will her abilities change under the blessing of the law?"

Seeing Otto's expression no longer calm, Shilis knew that

The man had understood his concerns.

It seems that there is no need to say more about what the Herrscher who can control the mind has been doing secretly lurking in the shadows for a long time.

"Moreover, we don't know when the Eighth Herrscher was born. If she was born at the same time as the Herrscher of Flame, and all her covert actions were intended to maximize her own abilities, then..."

"Don't jump to conclusions, Ms. Shilis. The power of the Herrscher also has its limits. If she is really as scary as we think, there is no need for her to hide from us like this. There must be some limitations to her abilities."

"But the problem now is that we still can't accurately track the Herrscher's whereabouts, and they will definitely not stay in Antarctica for long. Every day we delay, the situation will get worse. Moreover, so far, we have no idea what stage her plan has reached..."

Assuming that the Herrscher of the Heart can completely control the human mind, how many people have been manipulated by her in this month? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Or is it more than imagined?

Regardless of the number, if one wants to expand power, it would be more useful to directly transform humans into dead soldiers. If Shilis herself is the Herrscher of the Heart, then the people she chooses to control must be people of special status.

597 Notice>>

"To control the minds of living things, it is necessary to continuously activate Honkai energy, which can theoretically be broken by the power of restraint. However, if she can truly brainwash people and make them loyal to her from the bottom of their hearts without leaving any traces..."

Shiris didn't dare to think about it anymore. There was no such bad situation in her memories of reincarnation. For the first time, she realized how easy it was for a Herrscher who knew how to use his abilities to destroy human civilization...

"We must take action immediately! The Herrscher of the Heart may not be strong enough to threaten us yet. We must find her at all costs before she completes her plan!"

Shirley made a prompt decision, and Otto had no objection to her decision.

"That's right. If her ability doesn't leave any traces, we won't be able to prevent it. The most effective way right now is to defeat the Herrscher as soon as possible."

"It seems that I don't have time to collect data. Even if I have to face two Herrschers at the same time, I must stop her...!"

According to the original plan, Shiris wanted to annihilate the Herrscher all at once after gaining absolute certainty, in order to prevent the slightest variable.

But now, the unexpected situation has left her no time to prepare. If she does not take action to interrupt the Herrscher of the Heart's plan, the consequences will be disastrous. If the worst happens, the civilization of this era may even be destroyed ahead of time...

The girl and her companions may be able to survive the disaster, but Shilis does not want to shoulder the responsibility of continuing human civilization.

With the ability of "Anti-Herrscher", she will not be at a disadvantage when facing two perfect Herrschers at the same time. Moreover, because of the existence of the restraining force, mental attacks based on Honkai energy will be completely ineffective against her!

However, the only one who is completely immune is Siris herself. The Valkyrie may also be eroded by Honkai again, and this is true for all creatures that possess Honkai energy...

No matter how strong your willpower is, it is meaningless when facing the Ruler of the Heart who holds the laws of the spirit.

"At least, her ability is not as terrible as that of the Corrosion Ruler... Heh, is this something to be thankful for?"

"Not at all. We will have to face the Herrscher of Corrosion sooner or later."

Leaving this sentence, Shilis cut off the communication with the Destiny Headquarters. At this point, the Bishop of Destiny must know what to do.

Although a Herrscher can hide his energy fluctuations, he can only avoid the scanning of mechanical detectors. In front of a Herrscher of the same level, as long as the distance is about 700 meters, he will definitely notice the other party's presence.

And when the Honkai energy is fully activated, another Herrscher can still sense it even if they are half a planet away!

Holding the terminal in her hand, Shirley suddenly thought of something and paused.

"I just hope that things haven't gotten that bad..."

The girl hesitated for only a moment, then her eyes fixed, and she began to adjust the terminal page and accessed the command channel of the me company...

"Qi...Diana, are you really going to do this?"

Standing outside the glass layer, Mei looked at the silver-haired girl in the isolation room, her fluctuating eyes full of worry.

"The essence of your power should be..."

"That's right, Mei. We are the same. We both have a monster's consciousness hidden inside us."

The silver-haired girl wearing the white armor turned her back to Mei, slowly put the limiter on her wrist, and adjusted the Houkai suppression force to the highest level.

"I'm afraid of it. If I can, I don't want to face it again in my life."

Diana said softly, Mei looked

I couldn't see the silver-haired girl's expression, but looking at her slightly trembling shoulders, it was obvious that she was afraid, as she said.

However, the next moment, the girl suddenly changed the subject.

“But if we don’t tame it, we’ll never be able to move forward.”

"Diana..."

"Mei, even though Sister Shiris doesn't want us to fight, I have a feeling that the power of the Herrscher of the Void will play a huge role! Even if we can't fully control it, at least we have to reach the level of five years ago."

Having said this, the girl smiled self-deprecatingly.

"But Mei, am I really useless? I have mastered the ability to use space since I was a child, but now I can't use it at all..."

"..."

Hearing this, Mei lowered her head in silence, with a hint of struggle in her complicated eyes.

She should have stopped the girl's dangerous behavior, but, being stared at by those determined blue eyes, she found that she couldn't say anything.

(I am the useless one...)

“Then I’ll leave it to you, Mei-senpai. If I lose control, just press the suppressor button and teach that bastard a lesson!”

The silver-haired girl picked up a syringe and pointed it at her neck. The dark purple solution in the syringe was corrosive Honkai energy that had not been safely processed, and the internal concentration had reached 1000 hw.

This powerful medicine might be able to bring back old memories, right?

Diana thought silently, her shaking arms barely aligned with the blood vessels in her jugular vein. However, this was not her fear, but her irrepressible excitement...

Finally...I made this decision!

However, just as the girl was about to press the syringe, her movements suddenly paused, and she looked towards the corridor with a surprised expression.

Mei also turned her head and frowned slightly.

In the distance of the metal corridor that the two were watching, a burst of hurried footsteps gradually approached from far away...

598 Shadow of the Heart

(Is anyone coming?)

Hearing the footsteps coming from the corridor, Diana and Mei looked at each other, calmly put down the syringe, untied the energy limiting device in their hands, pushed the door and walked out of the isolation room, and came to Mei.

"Strange, no one should come here at this time, right? Could it be..."

Listening to the approaching footsteps, Mei looked a little uneasy. After all, she had experienced the invasion of the "First Herrscher" before and was quite vigilant about similar situations.

But Diana didn't seem to care.

"Anyway, let's take a look at who it is, Mei. He didn't hide his movements, so he shouldn't be a spy or something like that."

The silver-haired girl said in a deep voice, and walked towards the electronic door in front. She applied for the right to use this isolation room with the authority of an A-level Valkyrie yesterday. Logically, no one would come to such a remote area in the middle of the night...

That’s right, Diana has passed Saint Freya’s A-level Valkyrie exam and has the corresponding identity authority.

She walked towards the electronic door following the footsteps. The fully armed Valkyrie armor on her body was the source of her confidence. Moreover, for today's event, she had adjusted her body to a perfect state, enough to deal with any emergency.

Ta... Ta...

Footsteps...passed by?

Diana clearly heard the footsteps coming to the electronic door of the isolation room, but they did not stop at all and walked straight past it and went deeper into the laboratory...

Diana was slightly stunned, then quickly opened the electronic door and looked to the other side of the corridor.

"babble!?"

Standing a few meters away was a middle-aged woman in blue. She seemed to have not expected that there would be someone in the isolation room. She was startled by the sudden sound of Diana opening the door. She turned around trembling, with her shoulders hunched and a look of shock.

A janitor at St. Freya's Academy?

Recognizing the woman's identity through the tag on her clothes, Diana's frown relaxed slightly, but her eyes were still confused.

"The corner ahead is a dead end. This is the last laboratory in Area B."

Diana said in a deep voice, walking towards the panicked woman.

"Auntie, what are you doing here? As far as I know, the cleaning inside the laboratory is not within your scope of responsibility."

The school workers of St. Freya are basically responsible for cleaning the roads and trimming the flower beds in the school. A small number of people will have the work of cleaning the teaching buildings. As for the laboratories involving confidential information, it is impossible for outsiders to enter.

"Ah, that... I, I'm here to get something for Lady Theresa..."

"Oh~ I see, you're helping Theresa get something."

Looking at the janitor who was evasive, Diana raised her eyebrows and chuckled.

"It's really strange. It's almost eleven o'clock now. Is Theresa still awake at this time? She keeps saying that she won't grow taller if she doesn't get enough sleep. Besides, I don't think she would ask someone irrelevant to come into the lab to help her get something.

. It's a bit suspicious, isn't it? "

"No, that's not it! Miss Valkyrie, it was really the principal who asked me to come here. I don't know where this place is..."

"Oh? You just called me Miss Valkyrie? Does that mean... you don't know me?"

"Ah? You..."

Looking at the bewildered woman in front of her, Diana's eyes turned and the corners of her mouth curled up with ill intent.

"As a staff member of the Far East Branch, you don't even know the name of your superior? Let me tell you... I am Silis Kaslana, a S-class Valkyrie of Destiny and a first-class executive of Anti-Entropy, and also the leader of the Far East Alliance! How could you not recognize me? Who are you?"

"me......"

Diana raised her voice, took a step forward, stood in front of the trembling woman, and stared into her eyes.

Too suspicious! The staff of Saint Freya should be very clear about their scope of work and restricted areas. Even new school workers would not make such a low-level mistake.

Diana's intuition told her that there must be something fishy going on!

So, she moved out the identity of Shilis.

Although Shilis has a high status in both organizations, her true identity is still a secret in the lower levels. Not to mention an ordinary school worker, even many high-level Valkyries only know that there was a health teacher named Shilis, and there is no way they know her true identity...

If this woman claims to know me and calls me Lady Shilis, then there is no need to say anything more, she must be an intruder like a spy!

Thinking of this, Diana became more vigilant, squinting her eyes and looking at the still panicked and bewildered woman. Seeing that she was not going to speak, she decided to continue to trick her.

"Don't use Theresa as a shield. I know that stupid little girl has gone to bed. Let's talk. Who are you and what is your purpose? Or, you..."

"That's enough, Diana."

At this moment, Mei's voice interrupted Diana's pretended gloomy words and walked out of the isolation room.

"Mei? You..."

"She is Aunt Haiyuan who cleans the library. She has been working as a janitor at St. Freya's for two years. I know her."

"But what if it's a fluke..."

The corners of Diana's mouth twitched. Just as she opened her mouth, the woman behind her suddenly walked over.

"Eh? Mei-chan, you're here too?"

"Well, Aunt Haiyuan, thank you for taking care of me all the time. We are here... for some work."

Hearing the woman's words, Mei nodded and greeted her in the same familiar manner.

The woman's frightened pale face relaxed slightly, and she glanced suspiciously at Diana beside her.

"So who exactly is this...young lady...?"

"Ah... She is Diana Kaslana, my friend. Please forgive me, she likes to play pranks, and those things just now were all made up by her..."

Mei said this a little embarrassedly, and glanced at Diana with a reproachful look, as if complaining about her blindly suspecting others.

"Well, Diana should come and apologize soon. Aunt Kaihara is very familiar with Principal Theresa, and she does help her deliver things occasionally."
