K424 of the Collapse World

"..."

Standing on the broken ground, the silver-haired girl looked at the ruins of the academy and remained silent for a long time. Bronya and Benares, who had regained his human form, walked beside her, and seemed to be infected by the girl's emotions and were also silent.

The school that was beautiful and peaceful just a few minutes ago has turned into this in the blink of an eye. No one can accept it calmly.

Although the battle has come to an end, the subsequent impact it caused will be the next highlight...

"Indeed...Gakuen Island landed sideways when it fell."

Suddenly, a marble tile fragment was kicked away, turning it into a meteor. The silver-haired girl looked up at the flying trajectory of the brick and softly broke the stagnant atmosphere.

"However, the tilt angle is probably less than seven degrees, so it won't cause any serious impact at this stage...but sooner or later, we will have to face this trouble."

"Can Saint Freya be rebuilt..."

"Well, although it was uprooted by the Herrscher, fortunately the foundation was not damaged too much. The damaged buildings can be repaired sooner or later."

The girl penetrated her spiritual perception into the broken ground and reached the bottom of the sea at the root of Academy Island. It didn't take her long to come to this conclusion.

"Also, don't underestimate the ability of Bishop Destiny to make money. As long as Theresa acts a little coquettishly to her grandfather, Otto will immediately transfer a huge sum of money to her, enough for her to rebuild Saint Freya."

"Well... Bronya is looking forward to that day."

The gray-haired girl smiled, then as if she had thought of something, she moved a little closer to Shirley.

"By the way, Sister Shiris, is it really okay that the Herrscher of the Rock escaped? If Bronya overloads the Herrscher Core, there is still a chance to stop her. Bronya doesn't think it's a good idea to let such a strong enemy go like this."

"I'm sorry, but if I could help it, I wouldn't want to let that guy escape. But..."

The silver-haired girl gave a bitter smile.

"Diana's actions were entirely her own decision. If I had fought the Herrscher of the Stone head-on just now, my chances of winning would have been only 40%."

"What! How is this possible? Even Sister Shilis's invincible restraining power can't do anything to that guy?"

Hearing Bronya's cry, Shiris couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I'm not invincible, okay?! Moreover, even if it is an invincible restraining force, it still consumes energy to activate. Previously, I used energy chains to block the island, which consumed 70% of my Houkai energy. Then I was ambushed by the Herrscher of Flame, and then I used the gamma particle stream to destroy the meteorite fragments, which was also a considerable consumption... With my energy-overdrawn physical state and the little energy left, I am not sure I can face the Herrscher of Perfect Body."

Looking at her right hand covered with white marks, Shirley bit her lip lightly. Her clear eyes dimmed for a moment, but soon returned to normal without being noticed by the girls around her.

“And I also said, no surprise

If there is anything else, someone will help us deal with the Herrscher of the Stone. Even if I may not be able to fight in the near future, I don’t have to worry about the Herrscher of the Stone attacking me.”

Having said that, without waiting for Bronya to respond, Bella next to her hurried over.

"Master! If you are not feeling well, please let me hold the Second Miss."

"Don't worry, Bella. As long as you don't enter the Herrscher state, the backlash on me won't occur. Compared to this..."

Shirley turned her head and looked at the gray-haired girl in a red dress beside her with interest.

"Bronya, how did you become the Herrscher of the Heart?"

The Herrscher of the Heart, who was fighting with her a few minutes ago, suddenly became a companion who betrayed Honkai. This reversal was quite unexpected. Shiris was indeed very curious, why did the Herrscher of the Heart, who was defeated by Diana, have his core plundered by Bronya in the blink of an eye, and skip the fusion process to become the second generation Herrscher of the Heart?

"Ah, about that..."

Just as Bronya was about to organize her words, she was suddenly interrupted by another voice.

"Shiris! Are you back?"

What came into view was a silver-haired girl in a tattered nun's uniform. As soon as she saw Silis, she hurried to the girls, with a hopeful look in her eyes, her big blue eyes wide open.

"Has the Herrscher been defeated? Is he injured? Is Bronya back? Hey! Diana fainted? Is she injured..."

In response to Theresa's concern, Shirley just smiled back and explained the result of the battle in an orderly manner.

"The Herrscher of Fire and the Herrscher of Heart have been killed, but we only repelled the Herrscher of Rock. Diana was slightly injured, but she's fine now. This girl is even more sturdy than me, so that level of injury is nothing to her."

She did not mention Diana's dying injury before treatment, and Bronya and Benares beside her did not say anything. But at the same time, Shilis did not reveal her own condition.

The mark from breaking the law...

"How's it going on here? Have you dealt with the Honkai beast tide and the Tenth Herrscher?"

"Don't worry, all the invaders have been completely wiped out."

Theresa waved her little fist, her tone filled with a sense of satisfaction that everything was accomplished.

"We originally captured a group of Rulers, but they blew themselves up at the last minute, injuring many of our Valkyries and leaving nothing behind."

"The Rulers are absolutely loyal to the Honkai Will. They will never fall into human hands unless something unexpected happens. It is extremely difficult to capture them."

660 The Bishop in Trouble? >>

Shirley said in a deep voice, and handed Diana in her arms to Bella.

"By the way, where did the others go?"

"As for the others... the refugees are still staying in the underground area. The Valkyries on the front line have already withdrawn. A group of people are clearing the rubble blocking the gate of Saint Freya, and others are carrying the wounded. Siegfried, Jiuxiao and the others have also gone over there to help."

Theresa picked up her terminal and planned to show the details to Shiris. As luck would have it, just as she opened the light screen of the operation interface, she received an emergency communication from the Destiny headquarters.

Subconsciously accepting the communication request, the image on the light screen immediately appeared.

The image showed a silver-haired woman wearing golden mechanical eyepieces. Theresa and Shiris both knew her.

"amber?"

"Excuse me, Lady Theresa, is the Bishop with you?"

"Grandpa Otto?"

"Yes, the bishop should be connected to the soul steel prosthesis stored in the Far East Branch, but now, I tried to interrupt the mental transmission connection of the instrument, but the bishop is still unconscious..."

Although Amber always has that expressionless and cold look, at this moment, there is a hint of anxiety in her voice.

"According to the status of the transmission machine, the bishop's consciousness is still in the soul steel body. Lady Theresa, did you really not meet the bishop?"

"this......"

Theresa twitched the corner of her mouth. She saw with her own eyes that Otto's prosthetic body was melted by the attack of the Herrscher of Fire in order to save her, and turned into a pool of golden slime.

And now, after many battles, even Saint Freya was uprooted once. God knows where that slime-like Otto is buried. It is possible that the semi-liquid state seeps down through the cracks in the ground...

Theresa was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Although she still resents Otto because of Kiana's matter, fighting side by side with the Herrscher and saving him at the critical moment have somewhat eased Theresa's resentment.

Moreover, even if we ignore the emotional aspect, the current Destiny Organization cannot do without Otto's leadership. If the Bishop flows into the sea through the cracks in the ground and melts, the Destiny Organization will be in complete chaos.

And it was because of myself...

Under the doubtful gaze of Shirley, Theresa moved away guiltily.

He opened his eyes, not daring to look into Amber's metal eyepiece.

"Uh... ahem, Ms. Amber, this matter is a little complicated. Anyway... we will help you find him as soon as possible..."

The battle was over. At the edge of the Academy Island where the Hyperion was hovering, Dr. Tesla, who was in charge of temporary command, had left the battleship and came to the edge of the cliff which was originally a beach.

"so......"

Tesla lowered his head, looked at the short blond figure in front of him... no, at his feet, and spoke expressionlessly.

"Why did you become like this? Mr. Bishop, do you know that your current appearance is exactly the same as the armed puppet in the pre-civilization era?"

Looking at the mini blonde girl who was about 50 cm tall and looked like a three-headed doll, Tesla expressed his thoughts sincerely.

"...The soul steel prosthesis was mostly destroyed by the Herrscher of Fire. The remaining intact parts are only enough to maintain a body of this size."

The girl raised her head with some difficulty and looked at Dr. Tesla, who was nearly three times taller than her, and responded expressionlessly.

Yes, Lord Otto did not seep into the sea through the cracks in the ground as his unfilial granddaughter Theresa guessed. Even in semi-liquid form, Lord Otto could control this prosthesis to a certain extent and left the main battlefield like a slime.

"Why does it have to be a blonde beauty? If you can only use body shape, wouldn't a cat or dog be fine?"

"It seems that this image is set by you yourself, it's just shrunk."

"How can I..."

"Before you rush to deny it, you'd better put away that smile on your face, Dr. Tesla."

The bishop lady in doll form turned around gently and no longer looked at the indescribable silly smile on the red-haired girl's face.

Many people don’t know that in addition to drinking and doing scientific research, Dr. Tesla actually has a little hobby.

That is - collecting cute dolls.

Her collection would be stored deep in her closet, so few people would notice her hobby, but there is no doubt that Dr. Tesla really loved dolls.

Tesla's eyes twinkled when she saw the super cute "armed doll" in front of her. If it weren't for the annoying Otto's soul inside, she would have hugged this mini blonde girl and rubbed her hard.

After being exhausted by the bombardment command just now, Dr. Tesla urgently needs some psychological comfort...

"Now that the battle is over, why don't you leave this body? There should be a lot of things that need your attention at the Destiny Headquarters, right, Miss Bishop?"

"Yes, I was just about to leave. Saint Freya's damage was less than I expected, and there is no need for me to do anything right now."

"Goodbye~ Hum... Then I'll take the trouble to take this soul steel body back."

"..."

However, under Tesla's feigned annoyance but actually expectant gaze, Miss Bishop slowly closed her eyes, but within five seconds, she opened them again, and her expression became subtle.

"Um......?"

Miss Bishop blinked and repeated her action.

This time, her expression turned awkward.

(This... failed? Could it be that the remaining performance of the prosthesis is no longer able to independently perform consciousness jump?)

"Hey, why don't you go away?"

"I......"

661 The Cat Left Home

Under Theresa's arrangement, the Valkyries who survived the battlefield took the students and ordinary people in the shelter, left the ruins of Saint Freya, and temporarily headed to the main base of the Far East Branch.

As for the injured, they were sent to Changkong City to be received and treated by me.

There are still many troubles that need to be dealt with after the war, but the first thing to do is to arrange the whereabouts of these special groups of people.

The battlefields of those Herrschers still retain high concentrations of Honkai energy. If ordinary people and logistics personnel rashly act nearby, they are very likely to be infected and add new Honkai creatures to the academy.

That’s right, in the world of Valkyrie, the so-called special people refer to ordinary people.

"That's about it..."

Bronya tied her long curly hair into two ponytails and explained to Shirley what had happened to her.

"After Diana sent the out-of-control Bronya into the imaginary space, she encountered the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Heart who was also imprisoned in the imaginary space. She wanted to occupy Bronya's body, but failed. After being killed by Bronya, she automatically merged with the Herrscher core..."

"Oh? I see... Looks like you're really lucky. Your genes don't have any rejection reaction, right?"

"Based on Bronya's own experience, her body should not be rejected by the Herrscher core."

"That's good......"

While responding, Shilis squatted beside the wreckage of the Herrscher of Fire, carefully collecting the fiery core fragments.

Her body was eroded by the Law of Destruction, and ordinary treatment methods could not repair it. Now, she could only collect the core of the Herrscher of Flame and give it to Einstein to see if there was any way to remedy it.

More than an hour had passed since the Herrscher was repelled. The damage to Saint Freya was indeed severe, but reconstruction would not be put on the agenda so early.

The rest of the matters will be handled by senior staff such as Theresa Jiko and Jiuxiao, and will have little to do with combat personnel such as Shiris.

"Well......"

Looking at the busy silver-haired girl, Bronya lowered her head and gently twirled the hem of her skirt. After hesitating for a long time, she finally looked resolutely at Shirley beside her.

"Sister Cialis! Bronya... I'm still a little worried about Seele. When she was manipulated by the Herrscher, Bronya locked her up in the warehouse of the ME Company and locked her with a Honkai Limiter..."

"Don't worry about that. I have just contacted Raiden Ryoma. Xi'er is doing well now and is assisting the mecha troops in clearing out the remaining Honkai creatures in Changkong City."

"Hmm...I see..."

"If you are worried, you can go back to the base of the ME Company. There is nothing that Saint Freya needs help with."

"Hey...Is it really possible?"

Seeing Bronya's overjoyed expression, Shirley nodded slightly and her eyes became more serious.

"But before that, I must confirm, are you sure you can control the power of the Herrscher?"
