K424 of the Collapse World

"Oh? You speak so fluently now. It seems that I don't need to repair the key parts of your brain. Don't worry, when I get what I need, I will give you a quick death and let you rest in peace and return to the arms of the Honkai God."

As Silis whispered devilishly, the man's vision was gradually occupied by a purple light, pulling his consciousness into a purple space, gradually tearing open the warehouse in his mind, and exposing all the secrets to the intruder without reservation...

“No…No no no! Stop it, stop it, ahhhhhhh!!”

In terms of the strength of spiritual power, an ordinary person who has just become a Herrscher not long ago has no power to resist Shiris, who has the memory of countless reincarnations.

After a while, the charred figure with dull eyes stopped screaming and half-opened his eyes as if he was stupid, with a small purple feather reflected in his pupils...

The next moment, a small foot suddenly crushed his carbon-black head!

The silver-haired girl stood there expressionlessly, ignoring the radiating red and white slurry under her feet, and not caring about the thick blood and brain matter stained on her boots. Her eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.

"Miyuki..."

The anger and self-blame on the verge of exploding turned into unconscious murmurs, quietly dissipating from the girl's lips.

She saw it all.

Using the power of temporarily imitating Yu Duchen, she entered the spiritual world of this Ruler of Law, and from the perspective of this idiot, she saw the truth of what happened at the North American monitoring station one day.

The loyal girl who followed him fell into the trap carefully set by the Herrschers, and was captured by her followers because she was outnumbered...

Even though she was tortured and covered with wounds, the girl never gave in. She trusted herself who was nowhere to be found, and tried her best to resist the spiritual erosion of the follower. However, no matter how strong her will was, in the end, when she faced the Ruler who governed the spiritual laws, her firm belief was destined to be twisted into another strong and opposite emotion under the power of the laws.

Although this information was enough to identify the Herrscher of the Heart and his followers, making them invisible in the hidden city, the bad news that came with this information was hard for her to accept...

The girl who was saved on a whim turned this kindness into an obsession, so much so that even after being eroded by Honkai and turned into a Pseudo-Hermaphrodite, she never forgot to repay the favor until she was picked up again by herself.

To Shiris, the girl named Asakura Miyuki was indeed just an ordinary Honkai follower at the beginning, and she was left alone between Saint Freya and the me company. However, as time went by, the girl gradually changed from an insignificant follower to a friend she could trust.

Facing a girl who sincerely wanted to follow her, Shirley responded with the same sincerity. Gradually, without knowing when, the cat-eared girl had become a close friend that she could not abandon...

And now, everything is over. Through the images seen by this Ruler of Law, Shiris could clearly read how Miyuki viewed her former leader after her will was rewritten.

Extreme hatred...

She seemed to regard herself as the culprit who distorted her mind and became a loyal follower of the Herrscher of the Heart. Although it is not known whether her condition can be reversed, there is no doubt that Asakura Miyuki is now an enemy of both organizations.

"...Logically speaking, since the Herrschers have taken control of Miyuki, they will definitely use her and her Valkyries as spies to infiltrate Saint Freya and the Me Society's defenses on behalf of the Houkai forces and learn about the internal structures of the two organizations."

She quickly adjusted her mood and put these useless emotions deep in her heart, then Shirley began to analyze the situation.

"But, there is still no news. Could it be that no action has been taken yet? Or..."

Thinking of this, she raised her hand, and the terminal screen page appeared in front of her. Looking at the Far East Branch and the various institutions of the ME Society that were functioning normally, Shilis frowned.

Invasion and attack may not be direct destruction. With the Herrscher of the Heart's means, if he can really invade the Far East Branch without anyone noticing, he will definitely kill everyone else like Miyuki. In this case, these terminal information will naturally not show anything.

So, should we continue to pursue the Herrscher, or turn back immediately to protect the base?

"Ok?"

At this moment, the remains of the Ruler under the girl's feet suddenly moved. The charred surface gradually fell off, and the remaining body turned into tiny purple particles, flying away in the breeze like dust, and began to resonate with the Honkai Factor in the air...

"Condition-triggered Houkai energy decomposition?!"

After quickly realizing the function of these particles, Shilis immediately activated the Herrscher form, and replaced the Valkyrie armor with a long black and gold dress. Then, an invisible golden field rippled out, covering all the particles in the area that had not yet drifted away.

Before this Ruler met her, he was probably given the ability to "automatically connect to the Honkai Factor upon death."

The higher-level command can decompose the body of a Honkai creature at the moment of death through this method, allowing the Honkai energy with the attached information to connect to the ubiquitous Honkai factor and transmit some of the information before the individual's death to the person who casts the order.

Obviously, the Herrscher of the Heart had long suspected the identity of his pursuer, and gave the Herrscher of the Domination who had a group consciousness connection a double insurance. Even if this guy's consciousness connection failed for some reason, these Houkai factors would record some of his information when he was dying, and send this information to the cunning Herrscher of the Heart!

The Ruler of Domination was definitely not only here to deliver the interfering information, but also to test her own strength. Whether Shiris was an ordinary Valkyrie or the Ruler of Constraint as the other party had guessed, she would reveal some of her important information while getting the information.

The information that Shiris just revealed clearly includes the ability to restrain the Herrscher...

With the power of a Herrscher, Shirisi can naturally find the location of the Herrscher of the Heart by tracking the resonance of these Honkai Factors! But this also means that her identity as a Herrscher of Constraints will be exposed in advance. In this regard, the girl has already grasped the key clues, so there is no need to obtain the enemy's location in such a way that both sides will perish.

Therefore, her first reaction was to stop the flow of information!

Compared to the energy chains targeting a single unit, it is obviously more effective to block these tiny particles with a range-type field! In a blink of an eye, in the 100-meter-radius confinement field opened by Shiris, all the Honkai factors lost their activity; and the free Honkai energy carrying information was completely turned into nothingness under the anti-Honkai energy.

Seeing the remains of the Herrscher completely disappear without even a trace of particles left, Shiris breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed like it was over... Next, as long as we quickly catch the two troublesome Herrschers based on the clues we just got, we wouldn't have to worry about Miyuki's problem - without the Herrscher of the Heart as a backup, Asakura Miyuki, a little pseudo-Herscher, really couldn't make any waves in the Far East branch full of freaks...

(Eh? Wait!!)

Just before she was about to take action, Shirley suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened.

Since the Herrscher of the Heart could think of some way that the Herrscher of Constraint could cut off the mental connection with the Herrscher of Domination, then there was no reason for her not to think that the Herrscher of Constraint could also block the fluctuation of the Honkai Factor!

Thinking of this, Shilis hurriedly released the restraint domain and mobilized the Honkai energy to spread her perception. As expected, dozens of kilometers away in the desert, several Honkai creatures with unusual energy fluctuations carefully concealed their auras and faintly surrounded the area where she was in a semi-circle...

If they were monitoring the Honkai factor situation in this area from the beginning, then their action of releasing the constraint field to block the Honkai factor was truly an attempt to cover up something.

The ability to invalidate a large area of ​​Honkai Factor, one can guess with just a tip of one's head who is behind it.

The identity has been exposed... just now.

If I hadn't been so emotional about what happened to Miyuki and had just shot that Herrscher dead, things wouldn't have gotten this bad...

The girl stood there in a daze, sensing the information transmitted by those Honkai creatures, and a chill gradually crept up her spine.

"Has she even considered this? Herrscher of the Heart..."

As Shiris muttered to herself, more and more Honkai energy reactions appeared at the edge of the perception range, like an efficient elite force, starting some kind of strategic action...

"In that case, there is no need to worry about anything."

No one heard the girl's whispers, but the next moment, golden light penetrated the sky, like a sharp sword that split the sky, and completely dispersed the flying dust and withered plants. With her as the center, the desert within a few kilometers was as smooth and flawless as the sea...

Two hours ago, while Bronya and Iselin were riding a transport plane from ME Company to Saint Freya, the two patrolmen in charge of the Technical Laboratory B area finally arrived at the source of the strange sound...

"Sister Sally! This... is this?!"

In front of the metal door of the warehouse, looking at the red exclamation mark on the detector, the young man opened his eyes wide and his voice became a little trembling.

Even though he was just a rookie, after going through the complete training of the Anti-Entropy Guard, he naturally knew what the value of 144hw on the detector screen meant...

"Yes, Honkai can react."

Unlike the young man who was frightened and excited, Sally just nodded lightly, then grasped the gun handle at her waist, pulled out her modified heavy revolver, and walked towards the control terminal of the electronic door.

"Although the intensity is low, it happens to be in the blind spot of the corridor detector... Hmph, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary Houkai leak."

I looked at the automatic

Detector, Sally's eyes had become extremely serious. She entered the unlock password into the control terminal and waved the gun at the young man with her right hand.

"Yoshida, what happens next is beyond the scope of your job as an intern. I have sounded the second-level alarm of the security department. Go to the exit of the experimental area now and prepare to guide the support troops."

"Sister Sally, are you planning to go in alone? No, it's too dangerous. At least meet up with the support troops first..."

"Idiot! The warehouse in Area B is full of precious metal raw materials and high-energy batteries. There is no cause of collapse unless it is man-made."

As she spoke, Sally quickly entered the unlock password. With her identity and authority, if she wanted to enter such a special area, she had to pass four authentications and enter a 30-digit password before it could be opened. Because of this, she now had enough time to explain it clearly to the young man beside her.

"If it's a man-made leak, the situation will be troublesome! Although I don't know much about chemistry, if the criminals mix Honkai energy into those precious metals and energy with complex properties, something bad will definitely happen... You know, the explosion of a T46 battery alone can blow up half of the experimental area! All right, get out of here quickly, you're just a drag!"

--drop

Following the prompt sound, the door of the warehouse slowly rose. Sally angrily shouted at the hesitant young man and rushed into the dim warehouse.

"Big...Big sister, you must be careful! I will bring reinforcements soon, please don't..."

Ignoring the young man's increasingly blurred panicked voice, Sally followed the continuous heavy muffled sounds, moving vigilantly and quickly between the shelves, sweeping the dark corners with the muzzle of her gun, not missing any clues.

However, as a first-class agent with excellent marksmanship, she can use a powerful disintegration bullet to blow up the opponent's head even when facing a powerful centurion among the dead soldiers!

Woo… Woo…

As she got closer to the source of the strange noise, she heard some other sounds, as if it was the cry of some creature. Although it was extremely subtle and did not have the slightest sense of oppression like a giant beast, it was still enough to make people shudder in such an environment.

Looking at the door of the compartment at the deepest part of the warehouse, Sally took a deep breath, turned on the life-enhancing device attached to her uniform, tightly gripped the modified revolver in her hand, and slammed open the old wooden door!

Before breaking through the room, Sally had already guessed countless possible strange monsters and was ready to sacrifice. However, when she was determined and pointed the gun at the depths of the room, Sally realized that she had guessed wrong...

“Ugh…?!”

As a childish nasal sound came from the corner, what came into Sally's sight was a blue-haired girl who was tied up and thrown under a platform not far away. Her tear-stained eyes were full of anxiety and panic.

The girl had a strangely shaped collar around her neck and her mouth was tightly wrapped with several circles of tape, so she could only make faint nasal sounds. When Sally saw her, the girl was still bending her tied legs and kicking the metal wall hard, as if trying to call for help.

The most important thing is that Sally realized at first sight that she knew this girl...

"You are... Miss Xi'er?!"

616 Chaotic Prelude

There were only three passengers sitting in their seats in the spacious passenger compartment of the transport plane.

Iselin sat at the outermost edge of the cabin, with Bronya opposite her; the handcuffed Asakura Miyuki sat at the back two rows away from the other two, with her head slightly lowered, looking listless.

After receiving the information provided by Bronya, Iseline did not doubt it and immediately rented this short-range transport plane and the idle pilot, carrying the gray-haired girl and the brainwashed Miss Miyuki to the Far East Branch of the Destiny in the next city.

"..."

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere in the cabin was surprisingly dull. Iselin held her forehead in boredom, looking at Bronya who was fiddling with her personal terminal across from her. After thinking for a while, she finally gave up the idea of ​​talking to the girl.

Iselin used to be close to Kokolia and often traveled in Russia. As time went by, she naturally got to know the orphanage children of her age, and Bronya was one of them.

However, even though they were in the same room together after a long time, Bronya didn't seem to have any intention of chatting with her. She just operated her terminal expressionlessly, her eyes were extremely serious, and she ignored everything else around her. In this regard, Iselin didn't want to disturb this busy girl, so she continued to lean against the window of the cabin in a daze.

Although it was boring, she didn't want to open the terminal she modified for this 20-minute journey, spend five minutes developing those extremely complicated experimental formulas, and then stare at those formulas for ten minutes and end the journey.

To put it bluntly, Miss Iselin is just not in the mood to work right now.

Sitting in a lazy posture, Iselin yawned. At this time, she naturally would not talk to the cat-eared girl in a boring way.

, this usually docile and easy-going cat girl would definitely not be in a good mood.

Sitting in front of Asakura Miyuki, Iseline was too embarrassed to turn around blatantly and observe the cat girl's emotional state directly.

Maybe she is thinking about how to escape from a Herrscher? Well... this is indeed a question worth studying. It is necessary to consider the theory of the nature of Honkai, the theory of Honkai energy resonance reaction and probability. After substituting these data into the data, the combat experience between the three parties should be considered as a bonus item to preliminarily calculate the success rate of Asakura Miyuki's escape against herself and Bronya.

However, without analyzing those extremely complicated data, based on Iselin's personal judgment, this value should be infinitely close to zero.

It was like a dream. In the past, Iselin would never have thought that she, who was an ordinary researcher four days ago, would suddenly transform into one of the Herrschers with absolute power.

At the cost of a close friend's life.

Otherwise, with her original cowardly character, she would never be able to pass Walter's test.

But...if possible, she really hopes that none of this has ever happened. If Nina hadn't died, she wouldn't have to pursue the power of revenge, nor would she have to bear such a heavy responsibility...

The green-haired girl stared at the clouds outside with a dull look, and her mind was free to think freely. Although her Herrscher physique gave her almost unlimited mobility, Iselin was still used to adjusting her mood by resting after work.

At this moment, the gray-haired girl who was busy with something suddenly raised her head, and her cute curly braids swayed up and down with her movement.

"Lady Iselin, how far is it from the ME company to the Far East branch?"

Hearing the girl's sudden question, Iselin quickly recovered from her distraction and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"What's the exact distance?

"Yes, accurate to the exact value of meters."

The girl nodded in confirmation, and the inorganic silver-gray reflected Iselin's figure.

"I haven't really paid attention to this... but it's a journey of more than 300 minutes, so it should be within kilometers. If you want to know the exact distance, can't you just convert it using the map scale?"

After a brief thought about this inexplicable question, Iselin shook her head and pointed to the terminal in her hand and answered. Obviously, this kind of fixed distance problem can be answered with a little help from modern technology.

"Yeah, that's right..."

Hearing this, the girl smiled and quickly opened another page on her terminal. Comparing it with the one-way display screen at hand, she entered some strange code instructions into the operation page on the other side.

Looking at the girl's meticulous movements, Iselin finally couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity and called the girl's name softly.

"Um, Bronya...?"

"Lady Iselin, this is the statistical task that Mr. Raiden Ryoma gave to Bronya."

Before she could ask the question, the girl took the initiative to explain, raised her head again and showed a sweet smile.

Iselin was slightly stunned, and then she smiled kindly at Bronya. In her memory, this once cold-hearted girl rarely showed such a rich expression...

"You seem to have recovered well, Bronya. From your smile just now, you can't tell that you were attacked by a puppet of the Herrscher."

"It was just a near miss. Maybe the situation is not as bad as we thought."
