K424 of the Collapse World

Bronya took over Iselin's topic without any abnormality. Although her gaze had returned to the terminal light screen, it did not affect her communication with Iselin.

"Lord Iselin, can you defeat other Herrschers with your current strength?"

"As for other Herrschers... I probably can't do it yet. After all, I'm just a new Herrscher who was born no more than three days ago. Even if I spend a lot of time to understand the essence of my abilities, the gap in combat experience cannot be made up quickly."

Iselin said with a wry smile, and a circular structure composed of a blue light curtain appeared on her slightly raised white palm.

"Moreover, the analysis and reconstruction of the Ruler of Reason is not what I imagined. According to previous cognition, matter should be composed of atoms, but in the basic concept of the Ruler of Reason, Honkai energy can also constitute everything..."

616 Chaotic Prelude >>

"Although it's a principle that we all reach the same goal through different paths, it's still not easy to adapt to the sudden change in our basic knowledge... So far, I can only create single elements and rewrite atoms to a lower degree. I'm afraid it will take some time before I can really be of use to you all."

When the topic came to herself, Iselin opened up and kept telling the girl beside her about her troubles as a Herrscher. In response, Bronya just smiled and fulfilled her duty as a listener.

"Don't worry, Lady Iselin. Everything will be fine..."

Saying the fixed words of comfort,

Bronya's eyes fell on the dialog box on the screen, and with a hint of intriguing smile, she gently pressed the confirmation button...

The transport plane smoothly flew across the sky, passing over the ruins of Changkong City, and approached Saint Freya's island; and the headquarters of the ME company, which they gradually left behind, began to undergo some changes...

Sally successfully found the source of the strange noise in the warehouse, but her expression was not very good.

Sile Freya, a member of the ME Company's anti-Honkai task force, is a special Valkyrie with natural stigmata and quantized abilities. She has an amazing record of defeating the Third Herrscher head-on. Although she is a young girl, she is a powerful being that others can only look up to.

However, this powerful Valkyrie, who was comparable to the Herrscher, appeared in front of her in such an unimaginable way. Looking at the blue-haired girl whose hands and feet were tied up with ropes and unable to break free, Sally felt inexplicably absurd.

Why was the Valkyrie who tore the Titan mecha apart with bare hands tied up with a thin rope? Moreover, who could have kidnapped Miss Xi'er here without anyone noticing? ?

Although she was full of surprise, Sally quickly reacted when she saw the almost desperate anxiety in the girl's blue eyes. She walked forward to remove the tape on Xier's mouth and cut the rope that bound her. As for the metal collar on the girl's neck, the knife in her hand could not pry it open.

"Ms. Xi'er, what is going on?"

Supporting Xi'er's limp body, Sally asked in a low voice, and soon realized why she couldn't break free. It was obvious that the girl had fallen into an unexplained state of weakness, and it was very serious. At least for now, she couldn't even stand on her own.

The girl who regained her freedom was panting rapidly. The long kicking of the wall had obviously consumed too much of her energy. However, before her breathing became stable again, she started to explain in a panic.

"Hurry up! Please, Sister Bronya... has been attacked by the puppet of the Herrscher of Heart!"

The girl's helpless look was simply heartbreaking. She had to catch her breath every few words. She was totally unlike the powerful Valkyrie who defeated the Herrscher in the records. Soon, with Seele's intermittent explanation, Sally gradually understood the truth of the matter.

Miss Seele's sister, the little girl named Bronya Zaychek, was attacked by a Herrscher puppet who sneaked into the headquarters, and her will was distorted by the Herrscher of Heart's Honkai energy!

"I had already followed them, but I was still a step too late. After Sister Bronya was controlled, she directly threatened her life. Seele... Seele didn't dare to act rashly, so she was captured by them and put on a soul steel collar that blocked her power..."

Having said that, Xier's face was filled with guilt. Her cheeks were pale and she bit her lips, her tearful eyes full of unwillingness.

Even Kiana couldn't break free from the Soul Steel Limiter, so with Seele's slightly inferior strength, she naturally had no power to resist.

"It seems that the Herrscher's Honkai energy cannot control Seele's consciousness, but Sister Bronya did not hurt Seele. She just tied Seele up and locked her up here..."

Seeing the guard's serious expression, Xier held her hand tremblingly, with a pleading look in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's all Seele's fault... But no matter how you deal with Seele later, the most important thing now is to stop Sister Bronya! Her ability can hack into any electronic equipment of the ME company. If the Herrscher's goal is to destroy this base, then she will...!"

Xier was out of breath again. She curled up her petite and weak body, and her pale face was full of pain. When she held back the pain and was about to say something again, an index finger gently touched her upper lip.

"I already understand the situation, Miss Xier. This is not your fault. Protecting your loved ones is the instinct of any living creature. Miss Xier is not one of those cold-blooded Honkai beasts. Naturally, she cannot watch her sister die..."

The guard comforted the girl in her arms a little clumsily. She seemed to remember something in the emotional resonance, and a fleeting sadness flashed in her eyes.

Looking at the silent blue-haired girl, Sally breathed a sigh of relief, a complex look flashing across her eyes.

No matter how powerful she is as a Valkyrie, she is just a young girl of fifteen years old...

"I have already reported the abnormal situation to the security department in advance. Miss Xier, let's leave here first. The most urgent thing is to report this information to the superiors and let the president prepare in advance..."

"Be careful--!"

The blue-haired girl suddenly stretched out her hands and pushed the stunned Sally back with all her strength! The next moment, a blurry green shadow smashed the hard metal wall, whizzed past Sally's ear by a hair's breadth, and smashed the metal shelf behind her into pieces!

"what?!"

Sally came back to her senses and quickly raised her head, looking at the thing that attacked her, her pupils gradually dilated.

that

It was a twisted dark green vine that slowly pulled back from the broken pieces of the shelf. At the same time, a terrifying figure slowly walked out of the smoke and dust from the hole in the wall...

617 So-called Enlightenment

After receiving the alarm message sent by Sally, the security department of ME Company quickly blocked the area where the Honkai energy leak occurred, reported the situation to the higher-ups, and dispatched an action team to provide reinforcements.

However, at this time, the communication system of ME began to have some strange failures. The harsh noise and the repeated communication pages made people doubt whether the information about the emergency was sent successfully.

When the management of the Security Department contacted the Communications Department, the dispatched action team encountered a new situation...

"Oh my god! Where did these experimental monsters come from?!"

The pale-faced dead soldiers staggered in the corridor, wearing numbered lab coats, and they were obviously the experimental subjects from the Anti-Entropy Collapse Research Center.

When they discovered the team members arriving, the assassins immediately activated the killing instinct of the Honkai creatures and pounced on them with their fangs and claws!

Then he rested completely under a disintegration bomb.

The leader of the team shot and killed the assassin without hesitation.

"The scale of the Honkai leak may have increased, and the communication problem has not been resolved. We..."

Although the situation was beyond our expectations, ordinary assassins did not pose a threat. The leader was thinking this, but then, as he watched several pink and white deformed creatures crawl out from the broken corridor wall one after another, his face began to turn ugly.

After approaching the passage of the R&D laboratory area B, the team members seemed to have come from the safe ME club to the former Babylon laboratory. Unknowingly, they have been lured into a trap by the Honkai creatures...

"Deploy a defensive formation and fire freely! Kill all these damn bastards!"

The guards who had experienced the third collapse would not be scared into fleeing by a few small collapse beasts. However, the collapse beasts with silicon-based shells were completely different from the secondary death soldiers. The support team was unsurprisingly tripped up and could not save themselves...

Sally, who was deep in the warehouse, was still unaware of the large-scale communication failure of the ME company. Moreover, she had no time to pay attention to the situation of the communication terminal.

Swah——

The vines swept away the dust, and the blurry figure behind the smoke appeared in front of them without any obstruction.

She was a slender young girl with a few green thorny vines spreading out behind her like a peacock's tail, and her dry and messy purple hair was loose.

(Why did the experimental subject escape?)

The pale, bloodless skin was indeed no different from that of a dead soldier, but her eyes were not as emotionless and dull as those of a dead soldier, but were filled with extremely sharp coldness and hatred...

It is definitely not an ordinary Honkai creature!

Sally swallowed and turned pale.

The strong feeling of oppression was as solid as substance. The moment Sally looked into those pupils full of murderous intent, her heartbeat suddenly stopped and she instinctively avoided the other's gaze.

Although the blue-haired girl in her arms looked at him fearlessly, Sally could feel the girl's heartbeat speeding up and her body trembling slightly...

In the past, Seele would definitely be able to defeat the Honkai creature in front of her, but now all her power has been sealed. She is even weaker than an ordinary little girl. It is natural that she would feel afraid, right?

Sally thought silently, cold sweat oozing out of her palms as she gripped the handle of the revolver.

After being defeated by Shiris, Yuno, the pseudo-hersrer, was imprisoned in the top-secret area of ​​the ME company. She was not someone that a guard like Sally could contact. Therefore, she naturally did not know that the dead girl in front of her was a pseudo-hersrer who surpassed the emperor-level Honkai beast.

However, even though she didn't expect the level of the Pseudo-Herrscher, Sally didn't dare to underestimate the dead girl in front of her. As for the vine that attacked her just now, if Xi'er hadn't warned her in advance and pushed her away with all her strength, Sally would have been directly hit with a hole in her brain.

A hole almost as big as the whole face.

The battle is unwinnable. Turn around and run away? Impossible, either. My legs can't outrun the vines that have an initial speed comparable to that of a cannonball, not to mention that I have a little girl who is a burden beside me...

little girl?

Sally was suddenly stunned, looking at Xi'er beside her, her eyes flickered slightly, revealing a fleeting hesitation...

"Oh? I thought they were just two little mice, but it turns out there's a traitor lady mixed in with them..."

The purple-haired girl chuckled, and the sharp tip of the vine bent forward, aiming at Sally and the blue-haired girl in her arms. It could shoot out at any time and pierce the two thin and weak bodies into sieves.

A few minutes ago, the prison where Yuno was imprisoned inexplicably opened its door, and the soul steel collar fell off along with the unlocking prompt sound, returning freedom to the captured Pseudo-Herrscher.

Although I don't understand what happened

What, but Yuno, who has never betrayed the will of Honkai from the beginning to the end, will do after regaining her freedom, there is no need to say more.

The desire for revenge and the instinct of the collapsed creatures both point to the same thing...

Destroy this damn civilization and the pests it fosters!

"They put a collar on you, too. You really deserve it. But it's a good thing, it saves me a lot of trouble."

Yuno didn't understand why the breath of this Herrscher girl was so weak, but when she saw the metal collar around Seele's neck, she raised her eyebrows and showed a playful look of realization.

"What a godsend! If I can take away your energy right now, I can become a higher-level being and defeat that damned traitor Herrscher... Humph, absorbing the power of a traitor can be considered a way of making good use of waste, right?"

——whoosh

As the words fell, vines as thick as fists flashed out, piercing an arc from bottom to top, as if trying to string up the two ants in front of him and hang them on the ceiling.

Even though the woman tried her best to evade as fast as she could, she was still a step too late.

Her eyes could only catch the afterimage of the vines.

With a swish sound, the sharp vine that pierced Sally's arm penetrated through. The powerful force directly tore off her forearm, spreading a streak of crimson in the air.

Oh, but at least my life is saved...

Is this the extent of the power of an anti-material sniper gun?

Sally's pale lips trembled, and she forced a bitter smile on her face. She looked at her broken arm that was bleeding profusely, surprisingly without any panic.

It seems that the life support system activated before entering the warehouse is working perfectly... But then again, the built-in drug in the uniform has such a high-sounding name, but the actual effect is not just a mixture of sedatives and painkillers, right?

I thought it was some holy relic that could stimulate the explosion of the microcosm...

She held the weak girl with her remaining left arm, and her only weapon fell not far away after her right hand was cut off. Even at such an urgent moment, Sally's mind was playfully cute.

617 So-called Enlightenment>>

Facing Xier's anxious and worried gaze, Sally assured that even if this girl plucked out all her hair, she would never guess what she was thinking now...

"Miss Sally!"

Xier's voice trembled as she looked at the purple lines gradually climbing up from the broken surface of the woman's right arm, her eyes filled with panic and guilt that was difficult to conceal.

"Be prepared, Xiao Xi'er."

Gently comforting the anxious girl, Sally felt relieved. Yes, facing the powerful Honkai creatures, she knew better than anyone what she could do. Whether this girl could escape or not depended on her own ability and luck.

Yuno's expression remained unchanged, she looked coldly at the bleeding Sally, not caring about the ant's struggle before death. She just raised her hand, and the three vines behind her swung forward with her movement, trying to tear the two people in front of her apart!

The combined attack of the three vines blocked any space for dodging. Once they hit the target, the sharp thorns were enough to twist the fragile human body into a ball of mud.

Sally seemed to have anticipated this and took action a second before the vines came out.

However, Sally, who had the upper hand, did not intend to avoid the deadly thorns, but turned around drastically and used the centrifugal force to throw Xier in her hand towards the door!

"--Eh?!"

Xier screamed, her expression suddenly turned into shock. Before she realized what Sally was going to do, she had already flown uncontrollably towards the exit. Looking at the woman who remained speechless, she subconsciously reached out her hand, but was unable to catch anything.

(Miss Sally, are you planning to...)

No longer looking at Xier, a smile appeared on Sally's face.

The courage to make awakening is important, but decisiveness when faced with choices is equally important, especially at such a life-and-death moment.

At least let this girl survive.

Convinced that she would never survive the attack of the Herrscher, Sally made this decision almost instantly. This was obviously more meaningful than dying together at the hands of the Honkai creatures.

Xier has the ability to defeat her. As long as she can find a way to unlock the collar, she will be able to stop this special assassin.

It seemed like a rational and correct decision, but it went against the human instinct for survival. What was even more strange was that Sally did not hesitate at all to abandon her life for a strange girl. The moment she decided that this was the right choice, she was ready to die...

(How strange! Am I such a righteous person? This abnormal calmness and courage are really just the effects of the drug I took just now, right?)

The drug seemed to have improved her reaction speed. Sally kept the posture of throwing Xi'er, observing the "slowing" thorn vines with the corner of her eyes, and tried to drive her body to lean towards the thorns on the right.

Affects anything, no

That's all. What is enhanced by drugs is only the rationality and action ability, and the real decision is still made by one's own will...

The last trace of distracting thoughts was eliminated. Although the body could not keep up with the reaction speed, as long as he seized the moment of surprise of the Honkai creature, he still had a chance to avoid the vine attack that had lost its accuracy.

Trying hard to find a gap between the three vines, she calculated the timing and rushed towards the thorns on the right. She jumped with all her strength, and most of her body passed through the deadly thorn spikes. Only when she retracted her left leg was she a little slow...
