K424 of the Collapse World

(No! Bronya can’t die! Seele… can’t live without Bronya…)

"Who is Xi'er? This name..."

At this moment, two completely different thoughts intertwined and flashed in Bronya's mind at the same time. The original heart, which was suppressed by the erosion of thoughts, grasped a ray of light in the darkness...

"Woo...Reloading Bunny!"

Bronya, who was in chaos, no longer had the will to fight. She relied on her survival instinct to call out to the heavy armored small Q group: 543659389. Rabbit, let the soul-connected mecha block in front of her, and used the alloy shield to meet the Sub-Sky Spear that was stabbing at her.

"Humph."

The silver-haired girl seemed to have anticipated this, and the heavy spear in her hand stabbed straight at the shield of the mecha. However, at the moment when the spear tip collided with the super alloy shield, the girl's heavy spear ignored the defense of the shield and penetrated it without any hindrance!

The next moment, the Sub-Void Spear that had turned into a virtual entity suddenly solidified, and the sharp tip of the spear directly pierced through the body of the Heavy-Armored Bunny!

Bronya's Heavy Armor Bunny cannot be completely destroyed, but after a certain degree of damage, it will fall into a self-repairing state where it cannot move...

The silver-haired girl swung her arm and easily threw the immobilized mecha far away. Her figure turned into a flash of golden light again, and she crossed the remaining few meters and appeared directly in front of Bronya. She kicked the girl's pulled-out pistol away and disarmed the gray-haired girl.

"Bronya!"

Grabbing Bronya's collar, Diana dragged the girl up. Several pale arms stretched out from the black and gold space cracks and grabbed Bronya's limbs.

The blue and golden eyes met Bronya's almost broken eyes.

"Come to a place like this... Are you aiming for the remains of the Second Herrscher? What instructions did the Herrscher give you? Answer me, Bronya!!"

"..."

"You idiot! Wake up! I don't believe that you will lose to a mere mental attack!"

At Diana's roar, the gray-haired girl finally regained consciousness from her daze.

However......

"Bronya is Lady Lindy's servant! Don't even think about letting Bronya betray her master..."

"No! Bronya... Bronya wants to go back to Seele...!"

"Shameless betrayers! The will of Honkai will make you pay with blood!"

"Please...

Save me, Sister Diana..."

The mentally confused girl spoke very different words one after another, with a complex expression that was sometimes crazy and sometimes painful. Diana looked at the struggling girl crying heartbreakingly, and she couldn't help but clench her teeth, her eyes slightly drooping.

"I see... You never gave up and kept fighting when we couldn't see you. But I didn't expect that a sharp-tongued loli like you would call me sister..."

"Please..."

"Don't worry. I swear, I will save you, in the name of Kaslana!"

Diana's expression was solemn and dignified. She loosened her hold on Bronya, and a purple halo enveloped the girl's body.

Bronya, who had regained her freedom, drew out the dagger without hesitation, swung it in a tricky and sharp arc, and slashed towards Diana's neck!

However, after the sharp blade slashed across the girl's neck, there was no expected blood splashing out, but instead, it was like stirring up the calm surface of a lake, causing ripples...

As her self-awareness temporarily regained control, Bronya immediately threw away the blade in her hand and looked at the ripples in front of her with an apologetic and puzzled look.

In addition to this water-like projection of reality, the space around her had turned into a dark purple sky at some point, with countless columnar Honkai energy crystals scattered across the boundless world, as if she had been exiled to another world...

"This is......?"

"This is my world - the imaginary space. It is located between the reality and the quantum sea. Here, you will not hurt anyone, nor will you be interfered with by any external forces."

Diana said this, looking at the gray-haired girl slumped on the crystal column and smiled.

She waved her arm, and the heavily armored rabbit that was being repaired was swallowed by the purple wormhole and appeared next to Bronya.

"Once we have solved the trouble with Saint Freya, we will definitely restore you to normal!"

"Bronya believes in you...Sister Diana."

Trying hard to suppress the confusion in her mind, Bronya looked at Diana in the mirror world and smiled back, not intending to question her about this unimaginable power...

But the next moment, seeing the silver-haired girl turning and walking towards the depths of the restricted area, Bronya's pupils shrank involuntarily, but she couldn't help but ask.

"Wait a minute! Sister Diana, what are you going to do?"

"To accept the sins I have committed and make amends for them."

Leaving these words behind, Diana disappeared in front of the metal isolation door, leaving behind a golden star...

628 The Beginning of Change

The storm tore the earth apart, and the raised debris and dust mixed with the bodies of the collapsed creatures were thrown into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they were cut into sand-sized particles by the sharp airflow and dissipated in the wind.

Wendy frowned and glanced at St. Freya's Academy behind her from time to time, looking a little absent-minded.

However, even if she stopped her actions temporarily, no Ruler dared to approach her. As for those irrational lower-level Honkai creatures, they would be torn into pieces by the free hurricane field before they could get close to Wendy...

She casually released a compressed wind blade, breaking the giant alloy chariot beast that was charging in half. She stared at the iconic central building of Saint Freya, her eyes filled with dark clouds.

(An ominous feeling... What on earth is going to happen?)

·————————————·

drip-

A light screen terminal suddenly appeared in front of the silver-haired girl, and the big red exclamation mark indicated the urgency of the situation.

"Huh?! Abnormal energy detected..."

"what?"

Noticing the holographic screen in front of the girl, the bishop who was holding Theresa looked over subconsciously, but before she could decipher the information on it, her thoughts were interrupted by Theresa's sudden scream.

"Oh no! This is... Saint Freya's underground facility has been invaded by an unknown entity. The monitoring equipment did not show any abnormalities, but it detected the presence of powerful Houkai energy!"

She immediately broke free from the Bishop's embrace. As soon as Theresa, who was still seriously injured, stood back on the ground, she gasped in pain from the wound on her chest. But even so, she turned around without hesitation and rushed towards the direction of the data room.

"Hey! Theresa..."

The bishop frowned, looked at the silver-haired girl's back as she ran away quickly, and sighed helplessly.

After a moment's hesitation, Miss Bishop followed closely. Although the purpose of her trip was not just to protect Theresa, the invasion of the underground restricted area of ​​​​St. Freya was also a serious problem that could not be ignored.

After all, being hidden down there is...

At the same time, as Theresa was anxiously rushing to the underground restricted area, the girl had already started her action.

Put your hand on the outer wall of the glass container and stare at the empty space in the glass wall.

The remnant of the Herrscher. The silver-haired girl lowered her head and fell into deep thought...

Whenever she closed her eyes at night, her nightmare-like alter ego would appear in her mind, asking the same question over and over again.

Who are you......

“Who am I? I’m Kiana Kaslana! How many times do I have to tell you before you can even listen?!”

If it were the old her, she would have yelled back like this no matter how many times, turning a deaf ear to that sarcastic voice until the other party brought up another topic.

And now, she has understood the truth of everything.

The space energy seeped into the glass wall and rushed to the body of the purple-haired girl in the experimental solution, reawakening the power that had been dormant for fifteen years...

who am I?

I am Kiana, I am subject K-423, but in addition to that, I am also the Second Herrscher, and the poor little girl "Sirin" who was once a test subject.

That’s right, these are all me, or my former self.

The personality consciousness with the same origin is stained with different colors due to different memories and experiences, as if it has become several different people.

She originally thought that she was just a replica that combined the genes of Kiana and Sirin, but as her memories became more synchronized, she understood more and more things.

For example... the silver-haired, golden-eyed self in her mind was formed by the memory of Xilin that she had sealed herself up, which was formed by occupying part of her brain under the influence of Honkai energy. In essence, she was just another psychological effect of her own that was infinitely magnified, forming a product similar to multiple personalities.

But now, as the girl re-examines those lost fragments of memory, the second personality will once again merge with her...

Return to the perfect Herrscher of that period!

The girl's expression remained calm, as if she was not affected by these shocking facts at all. She still maintained an indifferent and calm expression, slowly sinking her mind into the blood-stained dark memory.

Lost her original heart? Not true. Rather, what she is doing now is to find her original heart.

If willpower could resist the erosion of Honkai, even if Sirin was burdened with pain and hatred, she would be able to find her own correct path, and would not be turned into a crazy Herrscher by the Honkai will that took advantage of her.

Now, she is ready...

(I will never become anyone else! I used to be the second Herrscher Sirin, and this is an indisputable fact. But now I have my own name...)

—Diana Kaslana!

She will not inherit Xilin's will, nor will she continue her revenge. Now, she just faces up to the sins she has committed, makes up for the flaws in her heart and will, and then regains her former power in an open and aboveboard manner. That's all.

The memories of her crazy actions during her time as the Second Herrscher would only be recalled by her as combat experience.

628 The beginning of change >>

By the way, that sister Shiris, the experimental subject K424 in the Xilin project, can actually be considered one of "me".

But Diana could never imagine what she had gone through to become so powerful as "Cilissa"?

However, even if I can never do what she did, I will definitely try my best!

The Honkai energy began to become active, carrying the DNA of the remains of Sirin into the girl's body, trying to transform the awakened host into the original second Herrscher form. However, as soon as the purple particles climbed onto the girl's hair, they were purified by the dazzling and powerful silver-white light! The girl's body always maintained a pure silver-white color, and her mind would not be controlled by the will of Honkai.

"This is... the Herrscher."

She opened her eyes, and the shattered golden light in her eyes turned into particles and dissipated, revealing her bright and transparent blue pupils again. A silver-white cross mark was embedded in the center of her pupils, representing the girl's current identity...

As the Honkai energy transformed into the Herrscher's spiritual outfit and covered her body, the girl's carefully woven pigtails fell apart, turning into a waterfall of straight hair that reached her waist.

"Then it's time for me to perform~"

--Snapped

With a light snap of her fingers, powerful energy enough to distort space gathered, and a purple space gate opened in front of her.

Without time to organize her thoughts, Diana shook her head vigorously to drive away the fatigue brought by the previous mental tension and make her mind clear again.

"But before that, there is one more thing to do..."

The Honkai attacks on Saint Freya and ME were successfully blocked by the armies of the two organizations. Just as the battle in the Far East was becoming increasingly intense, a deadly carnival of flames began to rage on the floating island of the Satori headquarters!

On one side of the floating island, the originally vast and flat airport platform had been covered by spreading and twisted vegetation! The charred trees and vines emitted thick black smoke, forming a layer of obscurity in the sky.

The darkness that blocked out the sun...

The silver-white woman held a lance in her hand, standing on the top of a towering ancient tree, staring at the figure wrapped in flames from afar.

Cecilia Nan, the Saint of Destiny, is just a creative force experiment whose soul authenticity has not yet been confirmed, but she also possesses the power to drive the Key of God.

Under Otto's advance instructions, she, who was supposed to be hidden in the Helheim laboratory, picked up the Black Abyss White Flower again and fought against the attacking Herrscher of Fire.

With Yulandel out, she is the only super S-class Valkyrie who can fight against the Herrscher head-on! Even though she didn't inherit the Saint's memory, she had no hesitation in her heart when she took up the weapon to protect him!

——Boom! !

The power of creation of the Holy Lance Centennial Orchid was used to create plants to block the incoming high-temperature flames. The next moment, the pure white lance body turned into petals and drifted away, revealing the pitch-black sword hidden inside the lance's white flower...

"First rated power - Black Abyss Bloom!"

A smoke screen composed of pitch-black particles swept past, and the dangerous withering energy forced the Herrscher of Flame to retreat again, but Cecilia, who was unable to fly, could not give chase. She could only stand on the top of the giant tree, watching the Herrscher of Flame fly out of her attack range and prepare for the next round of attack.

"Tsk...! They've been hacked into pieces by Lindy, but they can still organize a defense and hide such a trump card? I really underestimated the resistance organization of the ants..."

The Herrscher of Fire, Chloe, held a ball of flame, her expression somewhat ferocious. Her hands, covered with burn scars, seemed to be unable to feel the heat, and she let the flames lick her arms, not caring about the destructive law that was biting back at her.

The law of the eighth Herrscher is a law of destruction that ignores all defenses and burns things until they completely disappear. And just like the Key of God - Holy Fire Judgment, the overly powerful destructive power attached to the law will also backfire on the user's body...

In order to prevent herself from being burned by the flames of the Law, Chloe would always accurately control her power output in previous battles to prevent the indiscriminate destructive energy from backfiring on her. But now, facing this powerful Valkyrie who used the Herrscher's core creation to drive plants, she was in a hurry and could no longer care about so much.

"See for yourself the true flame of the Herrscher!"

He slammed his hands together, and as the skin on his palms instantly turned charred black, more and more flames began to gather around the Herrscher of Fire, expanding like cumulus clouds and bombarding the floating island in front of him!

The Valkyrie's defense was strong, but it could only barely resist her own flames. As long as she could instantly burst out her irresistible power, it would be easy to break the plant barrier.

Looking at the Valkyrie with a solemn expression as she raised her lance, the Herrscher of Flame sat in the air with a cruel smile on his face, ready to admire the weakling's final struggle...

"Um?!"

But at this moment, as a cold sense of crisis permeated her body from head to toe, an extremely sharp red light suddenly tore through the flame cloud and shot directly into the center of the Herrscher of Fire's chest!
