K424 of the Collapse World

Is this the legendary blockhead?

Monitor, monitor, no wonder you can't compete with Dr. Tesla. Even if you are half as active as that lolita, Sister Shilis will not always treat you as just an ordinary friend...

After confirming that Fu Hua's expression was not fake, Bronya immediately lost interest, sat back in her chair somewhat dejectedly, and returned to the initial social etiquette distance.

"Okay, happy cooperation... Sister Hua."

What else could she say except to take up the topic?

"By the way, Sister Hua. Teacher Himeko... Um, Bronya, is that the woman who just turned into a Herrscher someone you know?"

"Well, that person's name is Himeko. She is the leader of the fifth squad of the Australian branch and my direct supervisor."

Fu Hua responded without hesitation, a little sadness appeared on her face again. Hearing this, Bronya's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

(The Fifth Valkyrie Squadron that Mei, Diana, and I belong to is directly under the command of Mr. Himeko. And the “Mr. Himeko” from the pre-civilization era… is she also the captain of the Fifth Squadron?)

"Mr. Envoy, do you know the captain as well?"

"Just call her Bronya. Yes, she was Bronya's teacher... Well, that was a long time ago..."

Bronya shook her head and gave a vague explanation without mentioning this "past" in detail.

Although she was unusually slow in some aspects of her emotions, Fu Hua's emotional intelligence was obviously not low. Seeing that Bronya didn't want to mention the matter between herself and "Himeko", she did not continue the topic.

A little doubt began to spread in her heart...

"Ms. Bronya...? I really want to know what you just said about something that only I can do. What is it?"

"About this... Haha, you can regard this as a prophecy, an inevitable phenomenon that cannot be explained by science. Maybe at that time, your casual thought may change the whole world..."

"What... change the world? This kind of thing..."

"Don't take it seriously, it's just a joke. No one knows what will happen in the future. Bronya's words... are just an abstract analogy."

"That's it..."

Fu Hua nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Are you kidding me...

But even if this is just a joke, what would happen if I could really change the world with my ideas?

Maybe, the captain wouldn't have ended up like that?

If the Captain survives...

As the girl's prayers gradually gathered and solidified, a tiny seed appeared out of thin air, as if it had fallen into the bottom of her mind, creating ripples in the ocean of consciousness...

After all, that's impossible, right? Changing the world with just thoughts is something that even a Herrscher can't do.

However, she didn't know that at this moment, in the ruins of the now distant Australian continent, a red glow quietly appeared...

The mental world constructed by the spirit originates from the creator's memory and cognition. It can be infinitely similar to the real world, or it may produce some unpredictable changes according to the creator's self-spirit...

After all, it is common sense that the real world is material, objective, and will not be changed by consciousness itself.

But in the spiritual world, there is no need to follow such rules. Rather, the laws of the spiritual world are determined by the master of the spiritual sea.

The seeds that sank to the bottom of the sea began to sprout rapidly, and the intertwined branches and leaves continued to grow. The dense crown broke through the sea surface and continued to extend upwards...

"Ok?"

Bronya raised her eyelids.

Something just changed...

However, just as she had this thought, a shrill alarm sounded in the aircraft!

"warn

, A high concentration of Honkai reaction was found in the central area of ​​the former Australian branch, estimated to be Herrscher-level, all members are requested to return to investigate immediately! Warning, the former Australian branch......"

The sound of the communication loudspeaker echoed over and over again inside the battleship, and it explained everything to Bronya without her having to use her senses to confirm it herself.

"Wait... Is this another Herrscher Honkai reaction?"

If this is the historical fact, then the pre-civilization era was really full of disasters. In her own era, Bronya had never heard of a sequence collapse that would immediately usher in the next wave.

"So, Sister Hua, are you heading to the battlefield again? We just dealt with the Herrscher of Flame..."

"It's okay, Miss Envoy. Because you helped suppress the Herrscher of Flame, the main fleet of the Fire Chaser didn't suffer much loss, so there's no problem returning to the battle directly."

As soon as Fu Hua finished speaking, the hatch of the compartment suddenly rose up, and Kevin, with an anxious face, appeared in front of them.

"I'm very sorry, Ms. Bronya, the scheduled itinerary has to be changed..."

"Yes, Bronya already knows. It's okay. There's nothing we can do about this kind of emergency."

“Thank you for your understanding…”

"You're welcome. The Anti-Honkai Organization's mission is to fight the Honkai. Bronya will help this time, too."

"......Thank you so much."

Hearing this, the white-haired man was silent for a moment, nodded with a complicated expression, and without saying anything more, he quickly ran out along the passage and headed for the command center on the bridge.

It seems that Mr. Kevin is a person who is not good at paying debts of favor... At least that's how Fu Hua thinks he is.

Bronya thought about it and followed.

"Let's go too, Sister Hua."

"Eh? But my rank..."

"As an assistant, Bronya is naturally obliged to attend combat meetings. Sister Hua is Bronya's guide and is also obliged to accompany her."

"But......"

"Don't worry, this is Bronya's decision. Even if something goes wrong, Sister Hua doesn't need to take responsibility."

"It's not a matter of responsibility... Well, since Miss Envoy has decided so, I won't object."

Seeing Fu Hua stand up and leave, Bronya raised the corners of her mouth slightly and turned to walk out the door.

Without Fu Hua by her side, no matter what she does in this world, it is meaningless. Bronya's purpose is to help Fu Hua overcome the shackles of her past inner demons and bring her consciousness out of the illusion; rather than to enjoy a journey in the world of mind as she pleases.

Judging from this development, if Bronya wants to achieve her ultimate goal, she may have to assist the Fire Moth to destroy the world.

Although this sounds troublesome, it is just a trouble, not a problem for Bronya. After using the power of the mind law to accelerate thinking, no matter how long the mental world has passed, it is only a moment in the outside world.

Moreover, in the mental world of the Sea of ​​Consciousness, the Herrscher of the Heart, in a sense, possessed the power equivalent to that of a god. If Bronya had not been unfamiliar with the power of the Herrscher and was worried that blind action would lead to bad consequences, she could have activated the laws of the mind from the beginning, eroding Fu Hua's mental world and directly figured out the reason why she could not wake up...

But it’s no use saying these now. We can only move forward step by step until we defeat the Herrscher of the End of the Mental World and completely end the collapse of this world.

But is this really all Fu Hua wants?

Bronya didn't know. But now, she knew nothing about Fu Hua and had no other choice...

Anyway, let's observe first. Fu Hua in her youth was not as unfathomable as the squad leader he knew. As long as he stayed by her side, he should be able to get some valuable information.

With this thought in mind, Bronya slowly walked towards the depths of the passage. The further she walked, the more she felt that the structural style inside the battleship became familiar, and it was getting closer and closer to the architectural style of Hyperion.

It seems that Fu Hua didn't know what the bridge of the Fire Moth looked like, so the mental world extracted similar parts from her memory to form this scene...

Bronya had a vague feeling of foreboding.

However, when they finally stepped into the bridge of the Hyperion and saw the command personnel headed by Kevin at the conference table, Bronya couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

This...what is going on?

Even if Fu Hua didn't know the top management of the Fire Moth at that time, she wouldn't fill the gap so casually, right?

Who else could that silly, white-haired girl sitting in the captain's seat be but Diana? Even if she changed into a majestic general's uniform and replaced her iconic double braids with long straight hair, Bronya would never mistake her wise eyes.

Also, aren't the red and blue twins in the adjutant's seat the clowns from the orphanage? What kind of madness did Fu Hua have in her mind that made her fill the room with those two human-shaped self-propelled grass-growing machines?

The position of adjutant?

Moreover, in the correspondent's seat on the other side of the conference table, it was vaguely seen that there was a white-haired dwarf... no, a cute little girl with white hair, but Bronya knew only one person with this appearance...

In the real world, the dignified Principal Theresa is only fit to be a humble communicator in the Fire Moth in Fu Hua's subconscious mind?

That was fine, after all, even the team leaders sitting at the end of the conference table were all familiar faces to Bronya, including Saint Freya's teacher and officers from the Far East Branch. Even Seele flashed across the holographic projection screen, as if she was a researcher or a field doctor...

But apart from that, what about the two people in ancient Chinese costumes at the back? Are they sure they are not the Heroes of China from next door who walked into the wrong set?

An old man with white hair and beard and wearing a Taoist robe, a bearded man carrying a big sword, and other inexplicable people were sitting at the conference table of the high-tech floating battleship. Bronya felt awkward in every way, her mind was full of complaints, and she couldn't concentrate on listening to their meeting.

It looked ridiculous, but it was more of a creepy weirdness. No one noticed anything unusual, and only I felt out of place in it...

Indeed, something has changed.

Until he defeated the Herrscher of Flame, this mental world that inherited Fu Hua's personality traits had always maintained a realistic and rigorous style. But since when, this illusion that was infinitely close to the real world suddenly went berserk, as if it had been interfered with by some external force...

Even if you can't remember the faces of certain people, your mental world can randomly generate a closer image of the person through a vague impression, rather than arbitrarily applying the characters in your memory in an almost spoof form as it does now.

Bronya glanced at Fu Hua beside her, only to see that the girl had a frown on her face. She glanced at the people at the conference table with a slightly puzzled look, as if she had noticed something was wrong.

This is normal. After all, she is the only one who can directly change the world with her subjective consciousness...

However, even though she could use her consciousness to change the world, Fu Hua still showed no signs of waking up.

"Wow... I feel like the Captain and the Commander are a little different from what I imagined..."

Listening to Fu Hua's whispered words, Bronya couldn't help but roll her eyes again.

Come on, even if they look weird, it must be your fault, right?

Bronya felt that she needed to think carefully.

"Mr. Kevin, when you arrive at your destination, just give me the combat order."

With that, Bronya left the bridge with a frown on her face. Fu Hua also bowed to the senior executives and followed them. She didn't even know that at that moment, a very faint smile flashed across her lips...

As their figures gradually walked away, at this moment, everyone in the conference room, including Kevin, suddenly turned their heads, and countless calm eyes were focused on Bronya...

The mental world that follows the laws of idealism should have implemented the rule of "nothing exists outside the mind", and the commanders who are no longer perceived by the two protagonists should not have changed at all.

But Bronya failed to notice this fleeting abnormality.

The Herrscher of Fire is resurrected, and the fire that burns the city is ignited again.

The disaster that had returned plunged the city, which had just restored order, into chaos again in an instant. The flames that were almost bright enough to light up the night sky continued to expand and spread, engulfing the entire city at an unimaginable speed.

Why.......

The ice crushed the body, the core broke into pieces, and even the brain and skull were crushed by the ice cap...

Why... am I still alive?

My will was eroded by the Honkai and I was forced to attack my own people. I was struggling in agony in the flames of hell. I should have found eternal peace... But why am I still alive?

“Ahhhh——!!!”

The Herrscher, who was no longer in human form, roared, and infinite flames surrounded her broken body. Driven by resentment, she no longer needed the control of the Honkai Will, and took the initiative to burn and destroy everything in front of her!

The soul that should have dissipated was imprisoned in the shattered body, and continued to suffer the double pain of body and mind. Even though she was a determined fire-chasing moth warrior, even though she had once been prepared to fight against the collapse with her body torn to pieces. But at this moment, all of this was burned clean by the soul-burning flames, leaving only an empty shell with only crazy resentment...

When the Fire Moth fleet returned, all they saw was a steel hell burning with flames. Soon, those steel buildings would melt and evaporate in the flames of the Herrscher, and then be completely annihilated, leaving no trace behind.

Traces of passing...

"That's... the Herrscher of Fire? How is that possible! She has clearly already..."

"The power of the Herrscher has become stronger."

"How can a Herrscher who lost his core come back to life?!"

"..."

The discussion coming from the communication channel naturally could not be hidden from Bronya's ears.

Standing alone on the deck of the battleship, looking at the monster standing in the flames from afar, the girl's brows became more and more furrowed.

Indeed, it was the Herrscher's Houkai energy, but Bronya could not feel any resonance from the same source, as if the powerful Houkai aura was just a disguise, and the essential power was not Houkai energy...

At this moment, the empty eye sockets, where only flames remained, suddenly aimed at the floating battleship several kilometers away.

“Hahahahahahahaha…! The guy who took away my right to die… is right there?!”
