K424 of the Collapse World

"Yeah, you're welcome!"

The girl with yellow pigtails smiled and answered. Her acting skills were obviously better than Luminas'. The next moment, the bald girl standing in the distance trembled. She looked at Asakura Miyuki who was walking straight towards her and couldn't help shivering. The memory of having her neck broken by the girl in an instant resurfaced...

"Soma! You were definitely seeking revenge just now! You actually knocked out my teeth!"

Seeing the woman's timidity, Miyuki curled her lips and bared her teeth at the bald woman. The bloody gap on her little canine tooth was clearly seen by Soma.

"I......"

"Forget it, it will grow back anyway. I also accidentally hurt you before. Since you are worried about me, let's just call it even~"

"..."

After grabbing the bald woman's hand and shaking it, Miyuki turned around and was about to say hello to the woman leaning against the door, but she just turned around and left.

"boring."

"Eh...?"

Miyuki was stunned for a moment, but soon showed a relieved expression.

"Ahahaha... I almost forgot. Although I have been working with Lady Britney, I am still one of the Tenth Herrschers, and I am different from you, her followers..."

603 Reversal >>

She smiled awkwardly and rubbed her calf with the tip of her black tail.

"By the way, Mr. Ward..."

"Okay Miyuki, we are all familiar with each other, there is no need to be so polite."

Luminas quietly interrupted Asakura Miyuki's words, took a step forward, and looking at this girl who was obviously a stranger but seemed as familiar to her as a close friend, she felt a strange sense of contradiction.

However, it is more of a kind of intimacy from the heart...

(I see, the cognitive replacement that Lindy mentioned also slightly changes our subconscious...)

The orange-haired girl thought about it for a moment and then shook her head, not caring about the Herrscher of the Heart's self-assertion.

(That’s fine… Since Lady Lindy said that we can treat her as a companion, it will be easier for us to communicate with each other. However, the ability to manipulate consciousness is really scary…)

The girl sighed. Facing this childhood sweetheart with cat ears, her expression became much more natural when she thought that the other party already regarded her as a close friend.

Under Lindy's smiling gaze, Luminas came in front of Miyuki and looked up at the cat-eared girl who was much taller than her.

"Asakura Miyuki, our rescue operation this time... um, was carried out in secret, which means that those organizations don't know that you have recovered your memory yet."

Picking up the specially made Valkyrie armor from the table and handing it to the cat-eared girl, Luminas raised the corners of her mouth and her red eyes reflected the light.

"This is our chance, Miyuki. Even someone as strong as Croy-sama would pay a heavy price if he wanted to defeat the strongest force of civilization head-on. And now, you can easily infiltrate their inner circle..."

Asakura Miyuki's eyes moved, and her expression began to become solemn as she looked at the Valkyries standing not far away.

“You can do it.

"Miyuki, the brainwashing that the traitor did to you still remains in your mind. It will no longer interfere with your rationality, but is only kept as a reference material. Make good use of those false memories, and you will never be exposed!"

"But I just came back to you all..."

"Please, Miyuki, you are the only one who can do this now! The plans of Lady Lindy and Lady Chloe must not be exposed in advance. Otherwise, the Herrscher of Restraint who rebels against the gods will soon find the masters' traces."

"...I understand, Luna."

Asakura Miyuki bit her lip, looked at the Valkyrie armor that belonged to her, and nodded slightly.

"I will destroy Lord Croy's enemies."

In the collapsed battlefield in West Asia, the vast wasteland on the edge of the border has lost its original appearance and has been transformed into a rugged hilly landscape by the recent battle.

The charred, hard ground was covered with cracks and scattered with incomplete biological remains. Even the special silicon-based solid of the collapsed shell could not withstand the annihilation reaction caused by the high-energy particle flow.

"..."

The Herrscher's follower lay on the ground, breathing slightly. As the only surviving Honkai creature, her limbs were bent in the opposite direction, twisted unnaturally; the bruises all over her body were obviously because all the bones in her body were broken, and she could only lie there like a puddle of mud, at the mercy of others.

呲——

The girl in silver-white armor stuck her gorgeous giant lance into the ground and looked down at the Herrscher's follower at her feet. Although the opponent had already been defeated before he could even use his abilities, judging from the hot flow of Honkai energy, this should be the follower of the Herrscher of Fire.

Looking at the miserable red-haired woman, Shilis leaned down expressionlessly, and her eyes covered by the photon eyepiece began to turn golden.

"Aren't you planning to tip off your master? With the Houkai energy nodes you have laid, you should be able to send a message to the Herrscher, right?"

"Ho..."

The woman sneered while panting, with a hint of contempt in her eyes, trying to hide her deep vigilance.

"You lowly ant, you are not worthy for your master to look at you..."

"Humph." Shilis shook her head and sneered, "Do you really think so?"

"Indeed~ A weak Valkyrie like me is not strong enough to fight against the Herrscher of Fire. However, with the advantage of my soul steel weapon, I am still able to hurt that Herrscher."

"..."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then frowned and revealed a mocking look.

"You want to trick me into contacting my master? Don't dream on. You will never get any information about the Herrscher from me..."

"But I have already got it."

"What did you say?!"

Shiris stood up and raised one hand. In front of the woman's astonished eyes, the golden energy particles captured the free-state Houkai energy around her and gathered it together.

"Search completed. The Honkai energy in you has a similar reaction to a place about 3000 kilometers southeast of here, probably within the borders of India. It is certain that the place where the Herrscher of Flame created you should be there, and it was not long ago."

"You... Why can you analyze Honkai?! Could it be that you..."

"Even if you do nothing, as long as you are a follower of the Herrscher, you must have clues about the Herrscher himself. Why do you think I came here to find you?"

Shirley took off her goggles, her holy golden pupils quietly opened, and she stared at the woman with a deathly pale face.

"So you are..."

The golden Honkai energy and the sense of oppression from the superior being made the woman realize who the silver-haired girl in front of her is.

"Before your masters notice my whereabouts, I will find her and end the Herrscher's mission."

Hearing this, the woman suddenly gritted her teeth and tried her best to activate the Houkai energy in her body. However, with the fleeting invisible field, all the energy dissipated into thin air...

604 Strategy against the Herr

Under the light of the restraint field, the woman's body gradually turned gray. After the Honkai energy that constituted an important part of her body was wiped out, her cells and tissues quickly lost their activity. Within just five seconds, she became no different from a corpse.

Compared to the Soul Steel Binding Device, the ability of the Binding Law is not as gentle. Although the former will suppress the Honkai energy, it will not eliminate the body structure of the Honkai creature, but will only make the restrained person weak and feel pain.

And Shiris's restraining field can fundamentally destroy all Honkai matter, whether it is Honkai beasts, dead soldiers, or Herrschers and Pseudo-Herrschers. These puppet creatures are controlled by the Honkai will. The restraining field of Herrschers can eliminate their Honkai energy indiscriminately.

However, a weak pseudo-Hershersman can't survive more than five seconds in the restraint field, and a real Herrscher can definitely hold on longer, and may even be able to fight back. But even so, facing the "Anti-Hershersman", they will inevitably fall into an absolute disadvantage.

“The clue is in India?

......"

Shirley muttered to herself, turned around, retracted her lance, and looked towards the south.

With the help of the same Houkai energy from her followers, Shiris can find the places where the Herrscher has been. Using this, she can track down the allied Herrschers and crush the conspiracy of the Herrscher of the Heart before things become irreversible.

"The emergency recall order has been issued. Theresa should have carried it out properly, right? Well, although that stupid little girl is not very reliable, she is still a branch chief after all. There is no need to worry about the efficiency of her execution of the order."

There was a hint of worry in the girl's eyes.

Although the specific capabilities of the Herrscher of the Heart cannot be determined yet, judging by the movements of the Honkai creatures in recent weeks, as well as their precise attacks on backward countries and regions and blind spots in defenses, it is clear that there is a stable source of intelligence.

This doesn't seem difficult. In theory, the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Thunder, and even the Herrscher of Corrosion in the future, can hack into the human Internet by cracking electronic equipment. So, how can the combination of the Herrscher of Heart and the Herrscher of Fire obtain confidential information from the human world?

The answer is already obvious.

(Since he has the power to control thoughts and influence spirits, then he can also twist the wills of other creatures and turn them into loyal subordinates, right?)

If the worst happens, the Herrscher of the Heart has probably infiltrated most of the world's organizations and has a lot of information about anti-Honkai organizations. If that's the case, the Valkyrie, who has been exposed to the eyes of the whole world, may become a target...

No! There is a high probability that the Anti-Honkai Organization has been attacked and has become the eyes and ears of the Herrscher of the Heart.

Worse still, there is currently no way to tell whether a person has been affected by the Herrscher of the Heart.

"If it is a continuous use of Honkai energy to control the will, then it can be easily eliminated with my restraint power alone, and I can also follow the clues to find the Herrscher... However, I haven't found a person whose mind is affected so far, I'm afraid it's not that simple..."

I just hope that after receiving my instructions, Saint Freya and ME Society have recalled all the core members.

With two real Herrschers, Walter and Wendy, and Yaezakura, Diana, Jiuxiao and other powerful fighters who are not inferior to Herrschers, protecting the two bases in the Far East should not be a problem. Moreover, Fu Hua, who possesses the Eighth God Key, should also be able to counter the ability of the Herrscher of the Heart...

No matter what, she must not let her companions be affected by the Herrscher of the Heart. Shiris could not imagine that if the distortion of her will was irreversible, it would mean that she might be forced to fight with her relatives and friends, or even... kill them.

Shaking her head to dispel her messy thoughts, Shirley took a deep breath and refocused her mind.

(If the Herrschers appeared to target me, the Anti-Herrscher, then the Herrscher of the Heart must also know that their abilities will not work on me. In this case, they will definitely not confront me head-on...)

After thinking about the strategy of the Honkai forces in her mind, Shiris opened her eyes with a cold look.

"You want to avoid me and attack the world's human beings directly, ending this civilization early? In terms of rationality, it's a good strategy... But before that, I will find you."

Carrying the lance on her shoulder, Shirley looked back at the military camp in the distance, ignoring the cheering people. Her sharp eyesight spanned thousands of meters, and with a quick glance, she found the direction of the temporary helipad on the battlefield.

Since the aircraft crashed during the battle, they had to find another one nearby for convenience. I guess those soldiers who survived the disaster would be happy to let the Valkyrie requisition some supplies, right?

Shirley thought, staring at the helipad of the camp with enhanced vision. However, when she saw all the helicopters and propeller planes, even though Shirley was well-informed (world line memory), she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Well, it seems that she still underestimated the technological gap between different regions. Even without the advanced reactor fighters that reverse entropy, even ordinary jet fighters can barely be used, but using these outdated products from the last century is not as good as flying by herself. With her maximum flying speed of twice the speed of sound, she is enough to beat most modern aircraft.

However, considering the problem of physical exhaustion and the difficulty of hiding the fluctuations of the Herrscher, she gave up the idea. After all, if her identity as the Herrscher of Constraints was exposed, it would not be so easy to find the Herrscher of the Heart.

Without trying to negotiate with the soldiers over there, the girl took out the terminal, opened the control page, and called over the nearest anti-entropy drone.

Although it might take several days to investigate the Herrscher's clues, no matter how anxious she was, she was unwilling to waste any extra time under the threat of the Herrscher of the Heart.

604 Strategy for the Herrists >>

A few minutes later, a blue-black electromagnetic drone roared from a distance and quickly approached the direction of Shiris.

"Hey~!"

Putting on her goggles again, the girl leaped into the air using the energy wings from the jet nozzle, heading towards the dark blue drone.

He slowly descended in the direction of the drone, stepped lightly on it, used electromagnetic gravity to stabilize his body, and "rode" the drone into the air.

Using a drone as an aerial skateboard is not a difficult task for the Valkyrie. After all, even Diana can do it easily.

(As long as you keep hunting down high-ranking followers, you will eventually catch her fox tail... As for the Far East, I'll leave it to you guys)

After arriving at the principal's office in response to Theresa's call, Kiana just pushed open the door and saw several familiar faces before she found the short elementary school principal behind the desk.

"Eh... Bella? Wait, Miss Yaezakura and Miss Fuhua are here too..."

Benares, Yaezakura, Fu Hua, Wendy... including the captain who has been promoted to captain, Horaiji Kyushu, almost all the high-end combat forces stationed at Saint Freya Academy gathered together. Looking at the figures in front of the desk that completely blocked Theresa, Kiana's eyes became serious.

Looks like something big happened...

"Ms. Di...Miss Qiana?"

Hearing this, Wendy greeted him awkwardly, and Benares turned around and saluted Kiana.

"My lady, has Lady Theresa summoned you as well?"

"If that's the case, you guys are also..."

"Cough cough."

At this time, a childish cough interrupted Kiana's voice.

"Everyone is here, let's get started."

"..."

Now that Theresa had spoken, Kiana put away her curiosity and stood beside the desk, waiting for the principal to speak.

"Well... We are all family, so I won't say anything. You all should know that Shiris issued an emergency recall order for foreign affairs personnel a few days ago..."

While Theresa was organizing her words, she glanced at the girls who were deep in thought, and used the terminal to call up an electronic document, which was displayed on the desktop on a holographic screen.

"I was also a little confused at first about the forced recall of alliance members on the mission. But this morning, we received a call from the ME company and got this information."

Theresa enlarged the screen as she spoke, with a hint of helplessness in her slightly tired eyes.

"You can take a look at the combat strategy against the eighth Herrscher - the Herrscher of the Heart. I don't know how to evaluate that girl's decision, but according to her, this information can be made public to you..."

Before Theresa could finish her words, Ji Zi's exclamation drowned out her voice.
