K424 of the Collapse World

"Uh... is that so? Well... okay, I'm sorry, auntie..."

Being stared at by Mei with dissatisfaction, Diana had no choice but to bow her head and admit her mistake. However, when she saw that Mei and the middle-aged woman did know each other, she slowly let go of her doubts.

"Oh, you little girl, you really scared me just now. I have never heard of that name in my entire life..."

At this point, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and didn't look very angry. She laughed and scolded Diana for a few words and then stopped paying attention to her. It seemed that she was still in fear of the aura of the silver-haired girl just now.

"By the way, aren't you here to help the principal get something? Why are you here? There doesn't seem to be anything you can take away from the isolation room, right?"

"Hey, Mei-chan, I'm here for the principal's request. I'm here for the first time too! I got lost after walking around for a few times and ended up here for no apparent reason..."

"I see... If it's a place to store things, it should be in the storage room, right? It's probably in the second unit in the opposite direction from here. But, what exactly does Theresa want you to find?"

Diana interrupted, looking at the middle-aged woman in front of her with some curiosity, wanting to know what Theresa was looking for, but the woman just shook her head slightly and turned her eyes away.

"It's nothing, it's just something that the principal accidentally left here... personal belongings. If it's nothing else, I'll leave first. Thank you for your guidance, Diana, don't scare people like this next time..."

"..."

Seeing the woman turn around anxiously and go back along the road, Diana shrugged her shoulders and did not stop her from leaving.

He turned his gaze to Mei beside him.

"Mei, are you sure she is the person you know?"

"Eh? What's the problem, Diana?"

"...Nothing, I'm just a little concerned. I feel like she's trying to figure out the terrain here rather than looking for something...Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

"Don't worry, Diana. I'm sure Aunt Haiyuan will be fine. I've talked to her a few times near the library, so she's pretty familiar to me."

"Well...I believe Mei~"

Egypt region, desert.

On a hill, a slender figure stretched lazily, and a few strands of fiery red hair appeared under the white hood.

"It's just as you said, Lindy. The humans of this era are more difficult to deal with than I thought..."

"What do you mean?"

Sitting next to her, another girl in a hooded robe tilted her head and opened her eyes that were glowing with a faint blue light.

"They may have a way to drive the Honkai beast. That's how the agent found us."

"so what?"

"So? So they can find us a second time, a third time, or even completely lock onto our location and launch a decisive battle before your inexplicable plan is completed!"

"Relax, Chloe. It's only natural that humans have a way to find us. If they don't even have the means to search for the Herrschers, then the gods won't awaken so many of them at the same time."

"How long will it take you?"

"I don't know either. We can go to war with this world at any time. But more adequate preparation can increase the chance of success."

"Oh......"

The red-haired girl looked at the clouds in the distance, feeling an inexplicable irritation in her heart. Although she easily killed the woman who drove the Honkai Beast, the other party's final counterattack was forever engraved deep in her heart.

That mysterious technique, with its ridiculously low energy intensity, was enough to break through her barrier!

In this era, how many people have such skills?

"But what if it's discovered in advance?"

Hiding the uneasiness in her eyes, the red-haired girl asked again.

"It is inevitable that I will be discovered in advance, otherwise I can complete the reset of civilization by myself. Perhaps, at this time, someone has already noticed my plan."

"Then what should we do?"

"Don't worry about anything. Even if they notice what I want to do, they can't interfere. Besides, humans always have a lucky mentality. An abnormal incident like this can't make them immediately raise their sense of crisis."

The pink-haired girl smiled, and the faint blue light in her pupils began to flicker.

"The only way to stop it is to find and destroy us, but how easy is that?"

"Well, I hope you're right... But I still have some doubts. Can the few individuals you've influenced really help us defeat the entire human civilization?"

The pink-haired girl was slightly stunned by the question from the Herrscher of Fire. Thinking of the cultural level of this girl when she was a human, the smile on her lips became even sweeter.

"Hehe... Chloe, human civilization may seem powerful, but that is just the power generated by the superposition of individuals' strength after contributing it to the group. In other words, if their group is crushed, humans will really be just a group of weak ants."

"...Aren't they ants now?"

"The Herrschers who came before us all had the same thoughts about humans as you do. What happened to them?"

"..."

"If you don't want to be tied to a test bench by humans and have your core taken away, I suggest you don't underestimate them. The power of a united civilization is enough to threaten us. What's more, there are now a few more Herrscher traitors over there. If we continue to act according to the Herrscher's habitual thinking, we will surely be defeated by them."

Looking at the solemn red-haired girl, Lindy thought for a moment and her tone became a little lighter.

"But don't worry too much. As long as you don't underestimate them, we are still evenly matched with the civilization. My power can just break down their powerful group and spirit. Besides, you didn't forget, did you? The power of Honkai is not just the two of us Herrschers..."

599 Blasphemous Oath

At an anti-entropy monitoring station somewhere in North America, a staff member dragged half of a broken desk with great effort and threw it into the base's crusher.

The sleeve of his right arm was empty, and he relied solely on his left arm to deal with the accumulated garbage.

"Huh... there are still three piles..."

The man wiped the sweat from his head and looked at the bloody bandage on his right shoulder, but he had no intention of resting. He gritted his teeth and continued walking towards the waste pile behind him.

He lost his right arm yesterday. The whole arm was shattered by a powerful pseudo-herrscher.

No limbs were left.

It stands to reason that with this level of physical disability, it is impossible to return to work after only one day of rest. Even if it is anti-entropy, it will not exploit employees in such a disregard for human rights.

However, there was no dissatisfaction on the man's face. He was willing to do the physical work, as if these chores of garbage disposal were enough to risk his life.

After all, that was an order he absolutely could not refuse...

·————————————·

In the hall, several staff members in suits and leather shoes sat in front of the terminal, working meticulously. The traces of the battle left over from the previous day had been cleaned up.

The severed limbs and splattered blood were also cleaned up; clean and tidy office supplies were placed all around. No one would have thought that a brutal and bloody battle had taken place here the day before.

It is still a branch monitoring station of the Anti-Entropy Organization and appears to be fully functional with no changes.

"The Honkai reaction detected on January 1 has been successfully eliminated by the support team from headquarters, and there are currently no abnormalities."

The message fed back to the Anti-Entropy Headquarters was as above. At the same time, the Operations Command also received news that the Third Special Service Team had completed its mission. Asakura Miyuki, the team leader, would lead the team back to ME within three days.

Everything seemed to be fine.

At this moment, in the office area on the lower level of the monitoring station...

"The Anti-Entropy team's deadline is two days from now?"

The little girl with long orange hair was playing with the communicator in her hand and sitting on the chair that originally belonged to the stationmaster. There was a hint of impatience on her smiling face.

"Yes... yes, Lord God's Messenger, the Anti-Entropy Organization's special forces have strict regulations, especially regarding time limits..."

The stationmaster of the monitoring station was a square-faced middle-aged man wearing glasses. At this moment, he had lost all the dignity he once had as a leader. Instead, he had a flattering smile on his face and knelt in front of the orange-haired girl's chair like a dog trying to please its master.

"Don't mention the delay. Even if he didn't contact the headquarters regularly, it would definitely attract attention and be thoroughly investigated..."

"When was the last time Kitty was in contact with command?"

"Probably when I first arrived here yesterday... Ah, the next contact event, if nothing goes wrong, should be tonight."

"Can't we ask another team member to do it? Just like we do when reporting the completion of a mission."

"I'm sorry, this has to be done by the captain himself. Only if something happens to the original captain can the vice-captain take over, sir."

"Accident? Haha... If something happens to this little cat, those guys will definitely find out about you, right? You, didn't you forget your master's order? You must not be exposed no matter what..."

There was a hint of coldness in the girl's smile, and her strangely wide red eyes made people feel fear at a glance, let alone the stationmaster who had long since fallen under the power of the Herrscher.

"Ah! Lord God's Messenger, I..."

"Shut up, you have nothing to do here."

Watching the middle-aged man crawling out of the office in a panic, the girl sneered and shook her head, then turned her head to look at the other girl sitting next to her.

"Still not working?"

"Hmm... it still doesn't work. How strange, it was very effective against those Valkyries..."

The girl with short yellow hair shook her head and did not look at the girl. She continued to stare at her target with a distressed look on her face.

In her eyes, several dark blue whirlpools were constantly fluctuating, just like the appearance of her master, the Herrscher of the Heart, when she activated her ability.

In front of them, a black-haired girl with cat ears sat on a metal chair, wearing only a thin white dress. Her head was slightly lowered, and heavy restraints imprisoned her body, locking her hands and feet to the armrests and chair legs.

“Huha…Huha…”

The girl was breathing weakly, her eyes were bloodshot, as if she was enduring some great pain, and her slender body was shaking constantly.

The wrists bound by the metal rings were already rubbed to a bloody mess...

However, the girl seemed to be unable to see her bloody hands and feet, and she never stopped struggling from beginning to end, as if she was enduring greater pain, which made her ignore the piercing pain in her hands and feet.

"Woo...get out...!"

The cat-eared girl clenched her teeth, her broken nails scratched bloody marks on the metal handrail, and her screams of pain sounded like a cuckoo crying blood.

"Get out of my mind! Don't ever think of... letting me betray Lady Shilis..."

Looking indifferently at the miserable cat-eared girl, the orange-haired girl sighed.

"That's enough, Yuri. Your power can't affect her."

599 Blasphemous Oath>>

Hearing this, the blonde girl pursed her lips, and the dark blue swirls in her eyes disappeared.

Asakura Miyuki's tense body relaxed and she collapsed on the chair, breathing lightly. Her sweat had soaked her

She took off her single skirt.

Boom-!

Suddenly, a hand roughly grabbed the girl's cat ears and smashed the back of her head against the back of the chair! The next moment, a bald woman with a violent expression appeared in Miyuki's sight, and her raised fist landed on the corner of her mouth. The heavy force caused the metal chair to flip sideways.

The girl was knocked to the ground by the chair, coughing up blood weakly. A broken canine tooth was spat out by her and rolled in the blood foam.

Looking at the cat-eared girl lying on the ground, gasping for breath, the bald woman showed a sinister smile on her tattooed face.

"Since you are so ungrateful, let me deal with her..."

"Stand off, Soma."

"Lady Luminas?"

"Don't you understand me? I didn't ask you to do anything to her."

"But this guy..."

"You look pretty impressive now... Do you want me to remove the kitten's shackles and let you fight again?"

"No... no need..."

Faced with the orange-haired girl's increasingly weird smile, the bald woman shuddered and dared not say anything more, retreating aside in shame.

The orange-haired girl jumped off the chair and straightened the heavy metal chair that bound Miyuki. She looked at the scarred cat-eared girl with a smile on her face.

"As a follower of the Herrscher, I admire your loyalty. With such a strong will, Master Croix will surely like you very much."

"..."

"Don't be so hostile. It would be better for everyone to be more friendly to their future companions~?"

"Don't ever think about it..."

"Haha~ You never know."

Interrupting Miyuki Asakura's low growl, Luminas smiled and pinched Miyuki's tense pointed ears, smoothing out the messy hair that stuck to her forehead.

"Want to bet? You'll change your mind by this afternoon."

The girl smiled and winked at the blond girl next to her.

"Right? Yuri."
