K424 of the Collapse World

When did it appear?

Why didn't I notice it at all?!

Questions flashed through her mind one after another, but Lan Ruisa was ready for the next action in an instant.

Use the strongest Lawrence gravity to crush the opponent!

"If you fully activate Herrscher mode, human satellites will lock onto your position. Is that okay?"

The Herrscher of Stone's attack paused slightly.

"I did kill the person who was watching you...even though he might have been just a puppet."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black object was thrown over and landed at Lan Ruisha's feet. With a metal collision sound, it rolled twice and stopped in front of her.

After seeing clearly what had fallen to the ground, Lan Ruisha was stunned again.

“Gray snake—?!”

That tattered mechanical object was clearly the head of the gray snake! The skull of the machine had cracked, and the metal tubes with plasma solution remaining on them were exposed unevenly, as if they had been twisted off by brute force...

Lan Ruisha knew that Gray Snake's prosthetic body had undergone countless mechanical transformations, and his head no longer had normal flesh and blood except for brain tissue. Even if it did, this level of horror could not scare her.

She would show a look of surprise, simply because she suddenly saw this former colleague.

705 The Heavy Rain Before the End >>

Destiny and Anti-Entropy haven't made any move yet, and the first one to track him down is actually the World Serpent?

"Before I came to find you, I found this guy spying on you on the terrace a thousand meters away, so I killed him. No need to thank me."

"..."

As the previous sound rang out again, footsteps slowly approached behind Lan Ruisha.

"Herrser of the Rock, I am here to cooperate with you."

The speaker walked past her shoulder, leaving his back to the silent Herrscher of the Stone, without worrying about a sneak attack from the other party.

Looking at the slender figure in front of her wearing a hooded coat, Lan Ruisha frowned.

"Are you also a Herrscher?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"..."

"Why, great Lady Lan Ruisha, do you think I am unworthy of cooperating with you? That's right~ You want to be the ruler of all mankind, so naturally you won't take a mere wild Herrscher like me seriously."

The hooded man laughed softly and slowly turned sideways, revealing half of his scarred face.

The delicate skin beneath the scars may have once belonged to a beautiful girl, but now, the densely packed ugly scars have ruined it all.

Seeing the other person's true face, Lan Ruisha just raised her eyebrows and didn't care.

"Since you have investigated me, you must know that all Herrschers are my enemies..."

"But our goals at this stage are the same. If we don't deal with the most troublesome Ruler of Constraint as soon as possible, neither you nor I can achieve our goals. But if we can't defeat her alone, then isn't there only one way left?"

Hearing this, Lan Ruisa pondered for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.

"What is your goal?"

"Collapse."

The hooded woman answered briefly, but this answer was enough for Lan Ruisa to understand.

"Okay... I understand. Let's just use this as a way to deal with the toughest enemy and make use of each other..."

As Lan Ruisha spoke, her eyes suddenly became sharp.

"But - after the Tenth Herrscher came, the Eleventh Herrscher's position was taken by that guy. According to the order, you should be the Twelfth Herrscher, but your ability is somewhat different from the Herrscher of Corrosion that I know..."

"You should know that the rules of Honkai have changed."

"Oh? So you are... I see."

As she spoke, Lan Ruisha widened her eyes slightly, but she quickly returned to normal with a dangerous smile on her lips.

"That's really exciting. The last gatekeeper of the End is actually going to cooperate with me... But, with your ability, it seems that there is no need to be afraid of that guy, right?"

"Because I am not a perfect body, another being with the potential of a Herrscher has divided my power... So, you need to do me a favor first."

The woman also smiled softly, and as she grinned, the hideous scars on her face bulged up like a centipede.

"Help me to eliminate another qualified Herrscher, so that I can complete my ascension as a perfect Herrscher! By then, the Herrscher of Constraint will no longer be a threat to us."

"But you will become a threat to me!"

Lan Ruisha took a step back, and her dangerous smile gradually took on a chilling chill. However, at this tense moment, the hooded girl's expression remained calm and composed.

"No. I promise you with the dignity of a Herrscher that at the end of time,

Before your reincarnation comes, I can let you enjoy your wishes for as long as you want... Since you know what my ability is, you must know that this is easy for me."

"..."

"You will cooperate with me...it's your only choice!"

Tick-tick...tick-tick...

The melody of the clock's swing, accompanied by the beating of the heart, keeps echoing in my mind.

A biting chill, like an erosion, slowly creeps from the spine to the heart. The mind suppressed by the limit seems to extend this moment to eternity...

However, no matter how much it was delayed, it was impossible to stop the spreading coldness.

That was a fate she could never escape.

......

"Xing~~! What are you daydreaming about?"

"..."

The moment I was awakened, what caught my eye was the familiar pink curly hair, looking at me with dissatisfaction with puffed cheeks.

"Rosa...Lea?"

"Hey, hey! Are you still asleep? Lilia has already walked away with Bronya, and you are still distracted! Today is the first time that Lilia and I will take the Valkyrie Rating Exam. It's the Vodka Girls' exam, and Xing is the only one who can't be absent!"

The pink-haired girl yelled in dissatisfaction, grabbed Xing's hand without saying a word, and pulled her towards the temporary teaching building of the branch base.

"..."

Letting the girl hold her hand, Xing just ran forward in a daze.

A fate that cannot be escaped...

No, that kind of sin is not what I want.

Just get it all over with before then, right?

I'm sorry, Sister Hillis...

"......Eh?"

Until the vague feeling of haziness completely disappeared, the girl woke up completely and had forgotten the illusion just now...

"What's going on? Rosalia, what just happened? How come we're here already?"

Xing looked around in confusion. Although she didn't remember what happened just now, she could vaguely feel that it seemed to be something very important to her...

"You! You really haven't woken up yet~!"

"Who would fall asleep on the road? Wait... Could it be that you two are causing trouble again?"

Looking at Rosalia standing in front of her, the restless Xing grabbed the girl's tail and pulled the innocent-looking girl over!

"Aa ...

"Shut up! Tell me honestly, did you add something to my cup just now?"

Xing quickly put the momentary palpitation behind her. She didn't know that the pointer-shaped stigma on her back was slowly spreading, as if forming a complete clock...

623 Shattered Illusion

Theresa sat in the command center inside Saint Freya, paying close attention to the actions of the Honkai creatures on the front line through the images transmitted back from the battlefield.

Although she is also a powerful S-class Valkyrie, the headquarters always needs someone to take charge. Compared to Jizi, who inherited the stigmata and returned to her peak state, Theresa is now obviously more suitable to stay in the rear.

Moreover, Judas's core was eaten by Shirley, and the remaining soul steel cross was just a launcher for chains and spears. Theresa had no other weapons to use now. Otherwise, with her personality, she would not be willing to stay away from the front line and leave the important task to those young Valkyries.

"The legion of the Tenth Herrscher... is that their trump card?"

Theresa muttered to herself as she watched the images transmitted by the drone. She did not spend much time watching the shocking battle scenes, but instead switched her field of vision to the Valkyrie Line of Defense.

"So far, so good... But if this is their ultimate attack, isn't it a little too simple?"

Most of the Honkai beasts that managed to escape from the battlefield of the Herrscher became scarred. The broken shells and missing torsos weakened their strength too much, and they were easily defeated by the artillery fire of the defense line.

The battle situation has stabilized. The strong men have successfully held back the legion of Rulers of Law, and with the long-range support of the Valkyrie troops in the rear, they have effectively reduced the number of Honkai creatures.

But isn't this going a little too smoothly?

Without a decisive superior force to lead, a large number of Honkai beasts could not break through Saint Freya at this point, no matter how many they came, relying solely on their instincts to charge forward.

Or do those shrewd Herrschers have other conspiracies?

——Beep!

Suddenly, Theresa's terminal emitted a faint electric sound, and the display screen went black, and even the light screen of the operating panel disappeared.

"Hmm...? Is it broken?!"

The silver-haired girl was slightly startled and quickly took a photo

He patted the terminal console under the table and pressed the power button again.

Nothing happened.

"Please! Why at this time......"

Theresa was a little panicked. The terminal in the command center was regularly maintained every week, so it was almost impossible for it to fail for no reason. Moreover, even if the battle situation was stable, the sudden termination of the connection with the command center would be a big problem for the battlefield!

"Hello! The command terminal is down. Please help me replace the data with the spare terminal!"

Encountering this situation, the girl did not have time to think about it and hurriedly shouted to the non-commissioned officers outside the command center. However, as her voice echoed in the empty command room, Theresa suddenly discovered something unusual.

In such a huge command center, I didn't know when I was the only one left!

"What the hell is this..."

Standing in the extremely silent command room, Theresa couldn't help but tense up, cold sweat gradually creeping up her spine.

Could it be that those swarming Honkai beasts were just decoys, and the real attack was launched from within? !

Although she was shocked, Theresa still tried her best to stay calm. Yes, now is not the time to panic! Since the attack is aimed at the inside of our own side, at least the Valkyries on the battlefield will not be in danger for the time being...

"Uhhhhhh-!"

There was a sudden roar from behind her. Without hesitation, Theresa turned around and kicked a low-level soldier in military uniform, sending him flying and hitting the electronic display board in the distance heavily.

Looking at the Far East Branch uniforms on the pale assassins, Theresa's eyes widened slightly.

Yes, this is the Valkyrie officer uniform of the headquarters. It seems that there has indeed been an attack here...

But what kind of means can be used to infiltrate the central area of ​​Saint Freya without being noticed and kill the Valkyrie officer next to her right under the nose of an S-rank Valkyrie?

"Roar!!"

The roar came from her ears again, and then a heavy blow suddenly landed on the back of her neck. The powerful force almost knocked Theresa unconscious! But Theresa gritted her teeth and withstood the blow. She turned around and grabbed the attacker's wrist and swung it hard, using centrifugal force to destroy the balance of the dead man. Then she added a ruthless knee strike, directly smashing the dead man's sternum into a dent!

(Something is wrong! They appear to be the lowest-level secondary warriors, but their strength and speed are comparable to those of high-level Valkyries...!)

In an instant, several assassins pounced on her one after another. The fierce attack gave Theresa a sense of déjà vu, but she had no time to think about it. She quickly turned her head to avoid the straight punch and took a step forward to crash into the arms of the assassin. She pierced her opponent's abdomen with her small fist and knocked the assassin away with the power of inch force...

Theresa saw a dangerous cold light from the corner of her eyes, and she immediately pulled back. The next moment, the cold light flashed past her face, taking away a few strands of silver hair.

The flashing sharp light rose up again, and then the inertia of the horizontal slash drew an arc in the air, and the pursuing diagonal slash fell towards Theresa again, but the silver-haired girl dodged it sideways by a hair's breadth.

"......sword?"

Theresa's pupils shrank slightly, and she frowned tightly as she looked at the pale assassin holding a sharp blade beside her.

Isn't it a secondary death soldier, but a higher-level weapon death soldier? The exquisite double-slashing technique just now should be the unique sword skill "Double Moon" of the Fate Knight Selena. It has been passed down to this day and has been learned by many Valkyries who are good at cold weapons.

Being able to use the skills that the corrupted person used to have during his lifetime...could it be the martial arts master warrior mentioned in the records?
