K424 of the Collapse World

Her name seems to be...

boom--!

The next moment, the metal door pierced by the arrow was completely shattered by the attack from behind.

"Not bad, they were able to withstand my attack. The strength of the World Serpent leaders is indeed different from those minions."

A huge compound bow, a red hood on her head, and waist-length crimson hair falling like a waterfall. This highly recognizable image, as the petite figure slowly walked out of the smoke and dust, a name quietly emerged in Raven's mind.

"Fenrir..."

"Oh?"

Hearing the raven's murmur, the girl holding the longbow stopped and her amber pupils narrowed slightly.

She looked at the mercenaries who were facing a formidable enemy and smiled.

"You actually know me? Ha... I thought all organizations were only paying attention to Shilis's group of Herrschers."

Hearing the girl's slightly amused voice, Raven adjusted his fighting stance and secretly clenched his teeth.

(A natural stigma bearer, who hunted down and seized the core of the Judgment-level Honkai beast, the Demon Wolf Fenrir, and became an ancient warrior of the Immortal Species with the help of Honkai energy... This is not an opponent I can defeat!)

Raven saw with sharp eyes that there was a small winged creature on Fenrir's shoulder. But if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that the purple fly flapping its wings is the "Time and Space Ripper" that hid on her body to steal information before.

If it was it that showed the way, it wouldn't be surprising for the Destiny's troops to come looking for them. However, unless Fenrir had been lying in ambush nearby, how could it have reached the World Serpent's base so quickly...

Moreover, to be able to defeat the entire base's armed forces by just one person, this kind of strength is already at the level of a Herrscher, right?

Raven was puzzled and glanced at Caroline beside him. He saw that the woman's face also showed a moment of horror, and it was obvious that she was not prepared for the sudden intruder.

As a "puppet master", Caroline is just an ordinary woman who is a burden if she does not have any controllable combat puppets nearby.

Moreover, what made Raven helpless was that after this colleague came to his senses, he looked at her with a certain confidence, as if he believed that she could defeat the "skinny" invader.

As a member of the outer circle, Ms. Caroline doesn't seem to have the authority to access that kind of information...

So she had no idea what kind of terrifying power this seemingly harmless young archer girl in front of her actually possessed!

Faced with Caroline's eager eyes that said "Hurry up and catch this big loli and give it to me", Raven just wanted to escape quickly and leave this old nympho here to fend for herself.

However, in front of an old monster whose strength was hard to guess, she would not do the foolish thing of turning her back on the enemy...

At this moment, a flash of flame appeared, and another figure suddenly appeared behind them.

The red-haired girl walked out of the flames, half-knelt down in front of the girl, and lowered her head humbly.

"Lord Charlotte..."

Her tone was somewhat complicated, and seemed to carry some reluctance, but she still maintained a submissive posture and continued to speak.

"All combatants in the target area have been eliminated. Ashweil has taken control of the commanders of each agency, and the others are resting in place."

"Well done, Luminas."

Smiling and touching the top of the red-haired girl's head

, Charlotte felt the girl's trembling body, and her smile revealed a hint of playfulness.

"This is your first mission, and also a test before you swear allegiance to your new master... Don't let the Herrscher of the Heart down, former Flame Follower."

"Yes......"

Luminas lowered her head and let Charlotte touch her forehead.

The Herrscher's followers who lose their master will also lose the power granted by the Herrscher. They have personality and thinking ability, but they are not independent Herrschers. If they want to continue to survive, they can only submit to another powerful existence...

Listening to Fenrir's blunt voice, Raven had only a wry smile on his face.

This was good news. Fenrir was not the only invader. Someone else had wiped out the base troops. In other words, the demon wolf Fenrir might not be as strong as he thought.

But the bad news is... there seems to be a group of Pseudo-Herrschers invading at the same time. The girl next to them, named "Luminas", has an energy strength several times that of an Emperor-level Honkai Beast, so she can't defeat it easily.

Returning her gaze to the raven, Charlotte waved gently.

"Okay, World Serpent warrior, let's end this battle quickly. Don't worry, I don't intend to take your life."

"..."

Hearing this, Raven's eyes moved slightly and she took a deep breath. The next moment, in front of Caroline's surprised eyes, she removed her metal claws and gently placed them on the ground.

"Hey hey hey?? Raven! What are you doing, Raven! How could you..."

Ignoring Caroline's screams, Raven raised his hands and gave Charlotte a faint smile.

"In that case, can I just surrender?"

696 Untie

In the abandoned case storage area of ​​the Far East Branch, Shirley heaved a sigh of relief, pressed several terminal buttons in succession, ended the remote combat monitoring of a certain world snake base, and turned around with a smile.

"Okay, what did I say just now? As you can see, the World Serpent's command base has been destroyed. All of you, including the threat targets, must remain silent. All that remains is for Charlotte to bring back the captured senior personnel."

Talking to her friends behind her with a relaxed look, Shilis closed the terminal page of the enemy base and opened the radar monitoring area of ​​the dispatched troops.

Kevin escaped. Although the Far East Branch was afraid of his strength, they did not dare to pursue him rashly, in case they failed to gain anything but ended up losing the rice.

But apart from chasing him, Shirley has plenty of ways to disgust this old stubborn man.

"Listen to my orders - the ocean fleet locks on to that high concentration of Honkai energy reaction in the southeast, and launches all tracking torpedoes! Air units, please lock on to the same target as above, and launch saturation bombing on the target sea area!"

These sea carriers and bombers certainly cannot catch up with Kevin's speed, but it is not impossible for a missile moving at subsonic speed to catch up with a powerful creature whose speed is hindered in the fluid.

"Keep up the long-range strike until the target is completely out of radar detection range. I want to see if you dare to jump out of the sea and fight us!"

Looking at a certain area of ​​the Pacific Ocean that had turned into a sea of ​​fire, while the eyes of others were twitching, a silver-haired girl who bypassed the branch chief and gave orders directly to the troops showed a devil-like smile.

Yes, Kevin is very strong. In his peak state, he could easily knock out a white-haired ball with one punch. But now, Kevin, who has not yet adapted to Chiyou's energy, is being chased by a group of missiles and torpedoes while swimming to escape. I wonder how he feels now?

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and finally Siegfried coughed lightly and walked out.

"Shiris, you are..."

"Don't worry, that guy won't dare to show up and fight back. This level of blow won't kill Old Popsicle, but it's enough to injure him. Don't worry, I'm just venting my anger. Hmm! And Hill's share too."

Glancing at the still depressed blue-haired girl, Shilis smiled, closed all the terminal screen pages in front of her, raised her left hand and stretched.

"It feels good to be able to move freely. Even if one hand cannot move, it is much more comfortable than sitting in a wheelchair~"

"..."

Listening to the girl's relaxed voice, the crowd did not express much opinion. Although the crisis was resolved and Kevin retreated, the Law Seal of the Herrscher, which glowed slowly like cracked porcelain, did not make her companions feel any sense of victory in repelling a strong enemy.

The defeated opponent will come back, but the girl's body will never recover...

What happened today completed everyone's understanding of the nature of the law of destruction.

Seeing that everyone was still uninterested, Shirley could only smile bitterly and no longer force the topic to liven up the atmosphere.

After the threat was over, it was time for them to release their fear and worry...

"Well...it seems that our victory in defeating a powerful enemy is not worth celebrating in everyone's eyes. Of course, it's also good to keep a normal mind, after all, the arrogant will be defeated~

"

"Sister Shilis, your right..."

Seeing Bronya's pitying eyes, Shirley curled her lips downwards and patted the wall in a feigned dissatisfaction, causing the entire storage room to tremble slightly and interrupting the girl's next words.

"Stop, I've only said once that I've broken the law. And don't look at me like I'm disabled. My right hand isn't missing, and my chest isn't burned!"

"But Dr. Tesla clearly said that energy cannot be driven during the recuperation period..."

"I have just explained the relationship between the normal body and the Herrscher body very clearly. Tesla? Humph! That physics-study lolita knows nothing! If the nature of breaking the law could be checked with a body measuring instrument, human civilization would have already pressed Honkai into the toilet and rubbed it."

Shirley retorted somewhat dissatisfiedly, looked at her right arm hanging limply by her shoulder, then calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The situation is not as bad as you think. I cannot replenish my energy, and the Law of Destruction no longer erodes my body. Don't forget, my sensory nerves are different from yours, and pain has no effect on me. The condition of becoming a Herrscher has at most turned one arm into a decoration, and I have sold some benefits on clothing, but the rest is nothing at all~"

"It's nothing?! Shiris, do you think we are fools? And! Since you saw through the trick of the World Serpent the moment it showed up, why did you still risk your life? What on earth were you thinking?!"

"But I didn't put myself in danger. Even if my body became like this, I would still fight him 50-50. Besides, I asked Xing to contact Siegfried at that time..."

Looking at Theresa approaching, Shirley explained weakly. After forcibly explaining that she was fine, she began to feel that the situation was already tending towards a struggle session...

"But you shouldn't face the most dangerous enemy alone. Miss Hillis, do you know what your actions mean?"

After Theresa, Jiuxiao also came over. Apparently, the captain who became reliable after losing his memory also joined the preaching team.

"My actions are my own will. What else can I say? If I had chosen to back down at that time, Kevin would have definitely launched some messed up second and third plans and messed up the Far East Branch."

By the way, if I pretended to be in pain, I might have faced their gentle comfort at this moment, instead of the criticisms coming from all sides now.

...Forget it. Rather than letting them fall into self-blame and sadness, it might be better to continue to do what they want. At least this will stop their relatives and friends from worrying about their physical condition.

"That's about it. Don't embarrass Sister Shilis."

At this moment, Kiana took two steps forward, avoiding the place where the mark was burning on Shirley's body, and gently hugged the silver-haired girl's left arm.

"At least this time, Sister Shilis asked us for help instead of solving everything on her own as usual. Isn't this enough?"

"..."

After hearing Kiana's words, the people present reacted one after another.

Oh yeah...

After getting the restraint core, Shirley became a lone ranger. This time, she actually took the initiative to reveal her situation to Siegfried?

If she hadn't sent Xing to convey that message, no one would have known what happened on the last four floors of the base before Shiris and Kevin took action...

So, this girl has made progress?

They gradually realized that Shirley's mentality had changed in some way. However, as the bond between them gradually deepened, for a while, this small but huge change seemed so natural in everyone's eyes...

The lonely girl who once fought alone without telling anyone has now truly accepted them as her partners and no longer hides away the important people as fragile items.

As the first person to notice this change, Kiana's smile is sweeter than ever...

"Sister Shilis, congratulations on your victory~"

Not caring about other people's reactions, Kiana left a light kiss on Shirley's cheek after she finished speaking, then hugged the girl's left arm, turned her head and gently leaned against the slender arm, burying her blushing cheeks in Shirley's arms.

Feeling the touch of cool and soft hair rubbing against her skin, Shirley instinctively wanted to touch the hair of the girl in her arms, but when she tried to raise her other hand, she suddenly discovered that in her Herrscher form, her right hand, which was infected with and destroyed the laws, could no longer do this simple action.

696 Untie the Knot >>

Release the Herrscher form? Forget it. She didn't want to collapse suddenly in Kiana's arms and make others think that she was sick again, thus ruining this brief moment of romance...

There's nothing we can do.

Under the gaze of others, Shirley's cheeks turned slightly red, but she still lowered her head slightly, gently touched Kiana's forehead with her lips, and rubbed the top of the girl's head with her forehead, replacing her previous head-patting move.

Looking at the two girls rubbing each other's heads like cats, Diana curled her lips and felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart.

"How shameless..."

She muttered in a low voice, but did not disturb her two sisters. Instead, she turned her head and cast her eyes on a familiar yet unfamiliar figure...

Cecilia Shaniat——When she saw the mature and beautiful woman, this name inexplicably emerged in her mind.

Diana was not unfamiliar with this name, as Shirley had used this name in her early days, but her first impression of her was not just from this.

In the time when she was wandering with her father long ago, she had heard Siegfried's drunken sleep more than once, and the gentle call of his expression was exactly the same name that was repeated over and over again...

The strongest S-class Valkyrie in the past, the saint of the Shaniyat family, and the mother of Kiana Kaslana - Cecilia Shaniyat.

For some reason, the girl felt unexpectedly calm when she saw someone who was supposed to be dead in such a situation.

Cecilia's complex eyes could not be hidden from her. Diana could also feel the confused gaze that the woman occasionally cast on her.

It seems that I will get all the answers soon...

However, as "Xilin", am I really qualified to be close to her?

......

After a while, Shirley dispelled the blush on her cheeks and looked at her gathered companions again.

"Well, now that it's over, let's not stay here any longer. Over there - the wall that was damaged by Kevin can't be blocked by the ice wall forever. Find someone to repair it quickly. I don't want to see the scene of water flooding the 18th floor..."

Having said that, she turned around and walked to the corner, intending to pick up the overturned wheelchair and then release her Herrscher form.

If Tesla saw her wandering around the corridor in her Herrscher form, there was no guarantee that the doctor, who was surprised by the unusual, would completely ground her...

“Huh…?”

However, when she saw her pile of "wheelchairs", she realized that this means of transportation had reached the end of its life - the seat panels were cracked into countless pieces, the metal frames were crooked, and the tires were completely deflated.
