K424 of the Collapse World

"Eh...? Rumi-sister, do we really have to call the master? Just for such a small matter..."

"It doesn't matter. Everything is arranged to usher in the end of the era. Lady Lindy will understand us."

Asakura Miyuki raised her head with great effort, and with her blurred vision she saw the Valkyries standing not far away, neatly lined up in three rows. They stood there quietly, looking straight ahead as they usually did during training, and paid no attention to Miyuki's current situation.

(Will I become like that? A puppet of the Herrscher...)

The cat-eared girl lowered her head, her empty black pupils hidden by her hair, and no one knew what expression she had.

(Lady Shiris...)

Nordic region.

Walking out of the branch building of Tenming, the silver-haired girl looked at the sky covered with dark clouds and frowned slightly.

"Damn, thunderstorms can affect terminal signals..."

Sliding out the floating light screen of the terminal and looking at the communication function with a signal strength of only 2/3, Shiris sighed and closed the terminal again. She could only pray in her heart that this machine would not fail at the critical moment.

After making up her mind to track down the Eighth Herrscher, Shiris was ready to attack within a day. Otto would activate 50% of the functions of the Destiny Operations Center to provide her with support, and thousands of electromagnetic drones had been launched in the Changkong City Fortress of the ME Company to search for the Herrscher's remaining energy around the world.

"I don't know what Mr. Walter is busy with. He actually handed over all the management of the headquarters to Raiden Ryoma..."

Recalling the incident when contacting Anti-Entropy, Shilis always felt a little confused. But soon, she put these trivial matters aside, looked at her constantly flashing terminal, and opened the new message she received.

"Oh? The Herrscher's residual energy was found in the Antarctic glacier? Although they have left Antarctica, the clues they left nearby..."

The girl muttered, her eyes narrowed.

"However, how could such a cunning Herrscher leave such clear clues? This obviously misleading information can be directly ruled out."

Talking to the communicator using the terminal, Shiris ignored the previous clues, put away the terminal, and continued walking towards the apron in front.

Jumping onto the cockpit of the aircraft, the silver-haired girl called up the strategic maps of the two organizations and directly marked all the Houkai concentration points that had been discovered around the world.

"Before I catch you, let me see how powerful the guards of the two Herrschers are."

In the flickering light and shadow, the silver-white Valkyrie armor covered the silver-haired girl. The powerful simulated stigmata wave obscured her Herrscher energy, making her aura equivalent to that of a powerful Valkyrie.

The heavy lance that appeared along with the armor was placed aside, and the girl gripped the joystick of the aircraft tightly.

"Of course, we won't alert the enemy... They are not qualified yet."

600 A Small Hope

".

.....Kiana? Sister Kiana~!"

"Eh?"

"Oh! Really, why are you daydreaming again? I've called you three times!"

The pink-haired girl stamped her feet in dissatisfaction, and her sky-blue eyes reflected the silver-haired girl who had come back to her senses. Her slightly puffed cheeks clearly expressed "I'm very angry".

"Sorry, Rosalia, I just thought of something. Where were you talking about?"

Kiana shuddered and responded apologetically, looking at the white and smooth walls of the lounge with a dazed look in her eyes.

At this time yesterday, she was still on a mission in the northern part of Siberia. But that afternoon, before the original search operation was over, the headquarters inexplicably issued a retreat order, allowing the Hyperion and the members of the Honkai Task Force to return to Saint Freya.

Although she was used to obeying orders and it was not uncommon to terminate a mission midway, Kiana always felt something was wrong in her subconscious...

The distraught girl came to the training room, but unexpectedly she met the twins in Siegfried's area of ​​responsibility, and ended up getting entangled with them.

"Sister Kiana, for Sister Shiris' sake, please teach poor Rosaria~! Rosaria really wants to learn your hand-rubbing Big Ivan move!"

"Ah? Who told you this?"

"It was Miss Hiyamaru who told us and showed us the on-site combat records. By the way, Lilia also wants to learn from Big Ivan..."

"Ahem... Sorry, you can't learn it now. To trigger nuclear fission, you must first master the manipulation of the properties of Honkai energy. You also need to understand the theory of advanced physical chemistry, and then integrate Dr. Einstein's works..."

Kiana's expression was a little stiff, but she still explained seriously to the two girls who came to ask for advice. At the same time, she had already prepared a plan in her mind on how to complain to Yaezakura so that she could severely punish that little fox who couldn't control her mouth.

"It doesn't matter. Teacher Jizi always tells us that perseverance can overcome all difficulties!"

"Well, Lilia is willing to study hard, even if she sleeps less than an hour... half an hour a day. It is said that there are more and more Honkai disasters. This way, we will have the power to help everyone."

"Wait, how do you know that Honkai disasters are becoming more frequent?"

"Isn't it obvious? Every few days, the Valkyries gather at the big spaceship. They must be going on a mission~!"

"The mission of the Valkyrie is to destroy Honkai..."

I see… Even a little kid like this can see the urgency of the situation. What was the point of the previous news blockade?

Kiana thought helplessly and turned her eyes away.

I had always treated these girls as children, but now it seems that perhaps they do have the will of the Valkyries...

"I remember you guys wanted to debut as idols, why do you suddenly want to become stronger?"

"Well..."

Hearing Kiana's question, the two girls lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"That is indeed our wish... But, if a Houkai beast attacks our stage, we will need strength to drive them away, right?"

"Rosaria is right. We can't let our audience get hurt by Honkai..."

"So they're just going to blow up the audience and the Honkai beasts together?"

Kiana's mouth twitched and she sighed helplessly.

"That's too early for you. If you want to become stronger... well, I can teach you a little bit about archery and swordsmanship..."

If they really learned how to simulate nuclear fission, we might see a mushroom cloud in Saint Freya the next day.

In other words, since the threat of Honkai is still threatening everywhere, why does the Far East Alliance need to recall its high-end forces? Can those small organizations really fight against the followers of the Herrscher?

If it's someone's personal opinion...

Thinking of this, a certain sister (sister) who always overprotects her family immediately appeared in Kiana's mind.

Indeed, if it was Sister Shilis who gave the order, then it would make sense. After all, she had injured herself more than once before, and she didn't want to put the people around her in danger...

But if that was the case, why did Shiris suddenly change her mind when she had clearly agreed to everyone's participation in the battle?

Before she knew it, Kiana fell into deep thought again.

"..."

Looking at the silver-haired girl who looked dazed again, the man sitting on the chair next to him put down the bottle of wine in his hand.

"Qiana, you just came back from a mission yesterday. If you don't feel well, don't force yourself. Let me serve as a sparring partner for these two young ladies."

"No way! Who wants to train with this white-haired uncle?! He will definitely bully Rosalia!"

"I second the motion. Lilia also feels that Lord Siegfried's eyes are a bit obscene... No, this description is a bit rude. It should be said that

He looks a bit like the perverted uncle on the train..."

"..."

Siegfried's temples throbbed, and he suddenly wanted to use the alcohol to teach Cocolia a lesson. However, in line with the principle of respecting the old and loving the young, he didn't get angry after all.

"Anyway, Kiana, you first..."

"No, father, I'm fine."

The girl shook her head and was about to say something when the notification tone of the communicator interrupted her thoughts.

"It was Principal Theresa who contacted me and asked me to go to the principal's office to find her..."

"Go ahead, Kiana. Theresa wouldn't joke around during work hours. There must be something going on."

"Then Rosalia and the others..."

600 A Small Hope >>

"When the museum closes in the afternoon, I'll find someone to take these two brats back to the dormitory."

Seeing the suspicion in the silver-haired girl's eyes, Siegfried felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest, and his expression became stiff.

The rumors spread by that little girl Shigure Kirara have not been completely refuted yet, and have they even reached the ears of his own daughter...

"Okay, I'm leaving now, Father."

Finally, the girl bowed lightly, turned around and walked out of the lounge. Only the married man Siegfried and two underage little girls were left in the room.

"..."

Rosalia and Lilia looked at each other and involuntarily curled up together in each other's arms.

"It's over! Vodka Girl Crisis!"

"I heard that some people take photos of idols and use them as threats... Ugh, Rosalia, could Siegfried-sama be that kind of person..."

"It's okay, Lilia! As long as we shout louder..."

"Are you ready? Looking at the entire Saint Freya, I'm afraid only Dr. Tesla would be interested in you!"

Siegfried knocked on the table, wishing he could throw the two annoying kids out immediately. Although he was the archery instructor of the Valkyrie, Siegfried was not good at dealing with naughty kids.

"..."

Ignoring the twin girls who were pretending to be aggrieved, Siegfried raised his head and took a gulp of wine, waiting for the Valkyrie's independent training in the afternoon to end, and then let Cocolia and Himeko take the two troubled little girls back.

"By the way, what do you call yourselves... Vodka Girls? I have some pure vodka here, would you like to try it?"

Realizing that the atmosphere was tense, Siegfried sighed and tried to greet the twin girls, but within a second, the two girls responded in unison.

"Vodka girl, never drink vodka!"

"So what do you guys drink, Erguotou?"

Siegfried shrugged, not caring about anything. He put the bottle back on the table, called up the images of the training ground, and planned to check the training progress of the Valkyries.

"Ok?"

However, just as the screen unfolded, Siegfried narrowed his eyes and locked his sight on a strange figure passing through the corner...

The Seventh Herrscher's Honkai followers may appear in any corner of the world at any time, but they will never attack places that are well-defended.

They were well-organized like an army, and their only targets were backward areas that had no resistance to the Houkai.

Boom——

The metal-cased rocket flew out of the barrel, trailing a dazzling flame into the distance, and exploded on the deformed monster that was tens of meters tall, causing a gust of wind in the thick smoke.

However, in a conventional war, the powerful missiles only destroyed the white silicon-based shell on the monster's body, revealing the lavender body tissue. The next moment, the chariot-level Honkai beast with huge forelimbs jumped up, carrying hundreds of tons of weight and rushing towards the missile chariot dozens of meters away, smashing it into scrap metal in a trembling sound!

"Retreat! Retreat!"

The commander of the troops shouted loudly on the command channel, wanting the tank troops in the front to withdraw to the defensive position. However, following the attack of the first Honkai beast, a wave of Honkai beasts from the rear quickly followed!

A slender white shadow flashed across the top of the tank like lightning, and half of the machine gunner's body was cut off in half! The momentum threw the body high into the air, scattering a blood mist all over the sky.

The explosive speed of the assault-level Honkai beasts far exceeds the reaction ability of ordinary soldiers, enough to cut through the sharp wing shells of steel, making them the most efficient killing tools in melee.

Modern military weapons are basically long-range strike weapons such as rocket shells. These explosive weapons from the last century have little effect on large Honkai beasts, but in this backward small country in western Asia, there are naturally no high-end weapons that can fight Honkai beasts.

The rocket, powerful enough to shatter the shell of a Honkai beast, hit a giant purple-white shield, but was bounced to the other side before it exploded, creating a burst of fire on the open ground.

The next moment, this Temple-level Honkai Beast that was slowly pressing in like a heavy tank suddenly crossed a hundred meters and appeared in front of the firing turret.

, using a huge lance to pierce the control room with one blow - the Honkai creatures can easily sense the position of the driver.

The white Honkai wave trampled past, easily erasing all traces of civilization. The solid bunkers were flattened, and the steel chariots were crushed into pieces. The sacrificed soldiers became puppets of Honkai, turning their guns on their former comrades...

"It's over, it's completely over."

The officers in the camp stared blankly at the battlefield images transmitted from the helicopter, their faces pale. In just half an hour after the Honkai attack, countless soldiers had fled the camp, trying to escape the unstoppable white wave.

Indeed, even the tank troops could not stop it for a moment, so how could the flesh-and-blood soldiers in the barracks fight against those monsters?

The helicopter was cut off in mid-air by a purple light, leaving a flame in the air. The transmitted image was also interrupted. The commander took a deep breath, ignored the officers with desperate expressions, and turned to the window.

In the rolling smoke and dust in the distance, the tide of Honkai beasts was already vaguely visible. In less than five minutes, the monsters would arrive at this military camp.

If the special organization's reinforcements can arrive soon, and the remaining troops can delay the time as much as possible, they should be able to stop these monsters from pouring into the town ahead...

The commander was thinking silently and was about to give the last order, but his eyes suddenly widened and looked up into the sky.

Above the dark sky, a pure white fighter plane broke through the clouds at high speed, its tail flame drew a straight track in the dark sky, rushing towards the white waves in the distance...
