K424 of the Collapse World

Looking at Wendy, who was also bewildered, floating in the air, Siegfried's eyes turned and he vaguely understood something.

"Everyone, there seems to be a phantom mixed in with the Honkai group, please be careful!"

"It's more than just an illusion, right? I even mistook Miss Yaesakura for a Sharp Claw Soldier just now... It's obvious that something is affecting our senses."

Using a cross to hold back a gigantic crossbow-class Honkai beast, Kiana pushed forward with force, flipping the beast's round body over and pushing it into the air.

With a flash of flame, Siegfried fired a shot, delivering the final blow on behalf of his daughter. The broken body of the Honkai Beast exploded in the air, and the arc of electricity twisted in the sky and slowly disappeared.

"Kiana, Ms. Wendy, your Honkai perception is far superior to ours. Can you sense anything?"

"Well, although it's very weak, there is indeed some energy interfering with my central nervous system."

Using her absolute strength as a Herrscher, Wendy used her ability to blow away all the nearby Honkai creatures, and then constructed a powerful hurricane barrier to temporarily block the offensive of the Honkai creatures so that the front line could check its own situation.

"Me too, it seems like there are spiritual energy fluctuations coming from Saint Freya..."

Kiana frowned, looking at the blue light curtain of St. Freya's College area, biting her lip with some worry.

"As expected, the one who attacked was the Herrscher of the Heart? Is Dr. Iselin okay?"

"Don't look at her like that. Mr. Walter even entrusted her with the Herrscher Core. However, the communication with the headquarters was blocked by the barrier, and we don't know the real situation..."

The interruption of the command center connection did not affect Saint Freya's outer defenses too much. Theresa escaped from danger

After that, he immediately contacted the front line through his personal terminal and quickly stabilized the situation.

However, Theresa did not say a word about what happened in the rear. She only ordered all fighters not to approach the school campus and then hastily cut off the communication.

"Indeed... If it is the Herrscher of the Heart, people who have no experience in fighting against consciousness platforms must not get close to that dangerous Herrscher."

"But she still has the energy to affect our senses from a distance, which means Dr. Iselin is definitely at a disadvantage."

“We must help them!”

"But what about the Tenth Herrscher here?"

"Besides, we have no means to fight against the Herrscher of the Heart..."

Using the little time Wendy had bought, the senior officers on the front line discussed hurriedly. Although Theresa's order was only to resist the invading Honkai creatures, the strong men present were confident that they could wipe out these mixed Honkai groups, even under the interference of the Herrscher of the Heart. But at this moment, facing the internal and external troubles of Saint Freya Academy, they were no longer in the mood to deal with these miscellaneous troops.

At this moment, Theresa, who was already in the underground restricted area of ​​Saint Freya, was unaware of the discussion on the battlefield. She walked into the intact protective door, looked at the undamaged container at the deepest part, and clenched her teeth.

“What’s going on…?”

That's right, except for the passage where the battle took place outside, all safety protections were intact. However, in the intact transparent culture chamber, the contents inside had disappeared without a trace.

"Xilin's remains...were stolen by intruders!"

The Moonlight Throne's main gun turned the ground into scorched earth, the suspended shield generator still maintained the light curtain, and the huge deformed warship was always hovering in the air, as if nothing had changed at all.

But on the deck of the battleship, the situation of the battle had been completely reversed by the Herrscher of Heart.

"You have already lost."

The two girls who were in a trance stood on the deck in a daze. The Herrscher of the Heart stood beside them, looking indifferently at the main battlefield in the distance where the explosive wind was blowing, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"But having said that, your allies have also noticed my presence, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to interfere from now on..."

The voice of the Herrscher of the Heart floated into the ears of the two, passed through the auditory system and into the nerve center, echoing in all directions of the conscious world.

The two people who were captured by the illusion ability of the Herrscher of the Heart were standing back to back, scanning the boundless dark space. Fu Hua, who had consumed too much mental energy, was no longer able to interfere with the laws of the illusion. She could only stand with Iselin, cautiously alert to attacks that might come from nowhere...

In this unknown world, they couldn't even find a way to fight back and could only let the Ruler of the Heart take control of the overall situation.

"So, from now on, I will focus on dealing with you and ending this battle quickly. Stay tuned."

Lindy's voice echoed in all directions, and the physical waveform of the sound disturbed the chaotic space. The two of them could not grasp her specific location at all, and they did not dare to move arbitrarily in this illusion with unclear rules.

"What should I do, Miss Fu Hua..."

"Stay calm, clear your mind, and don't let fear and panic take over your heart. The ability to destroy consciousness with illusions can only attack through your mental weaknesses."

"Weakness of spirit..."

Iselin opened her mouth. She knew very well how fragile her flawed heart was in front of the Ruler of the Heart.

(Is it almost over...?)

"Don't give up, Dr. Iselin. No one's spirit is impeccable. In this situation, you can only try your best to hide your weaknesses. Don't let it become a mental breach!"

Fu Hua said in a deep voice, relying on the Taixu Sword Intentions mental method to stabilize her thoughts. The Herrscher's illusion must be different from the degraded version of the God's Key. Even Fu Hua herself was not sure that she could escape unscathed from this world of consciousness...

"Oh wow~ It seems that you have a very thorough understanding of psychic abilities."

At this time, the voice of the Herrscher of the Heart sounded again.

But I regret to tell you that it is just a basic application. As the Ruler of Consciousness, the power of the Law of Illusion is far more than that."

Even though they were only half a meter apart in reality, the two people trapped in the illusion could only hear the voice of the Herrscher, and could not control their own bodies or interfere with any external matter.

Of course, when their minds are active, their bodies will be freed from the confinement of their consciousness space when attacked. The time they penetrated Nina's Herrscher's core was when their consciousness was on the verge of stopping. Now, if the Herrscher of the Heart wants to launch a surprise attack on the two's defenseless bodies, it will be a loss.

"Before I crush your spirits, let me tell you something a little interesting..."

633 The Avengers of the End >>

With Lindy

With the sound of the universe, the empty black space began to have some other colors and turned into a dirty and messy chaos.

"The human spirit may seem much stronger than the frail body, but in fact, it is the most fragile part of the human life form."

“Once the limit of endurance is exceeded, it will explode like a balloon filled with water and will never be able to return to its original state.”

The Herrscher continued to speak. She could control the passage of time in the illusion at will, and she didn't care about the delay at this moment. As she spoke, dazzling chaotic colors continued to flow, surrounding Fu Hua and Iselin in the consciousness space.

"I have countless ways to easily burst this balloon. Apart from the simplest methods of fear, horror and other overly violent emotional fluctuations, I prefer to use a more advanced method..."

"—witnessing something that is beyond comprehension."

"Spatial dimension is the simplest example. We who live in three-dimensional space can easily understand the nature of one-dimensional and two-dimensional space. Any person with normal intelligence can understand the construction methods of points, lines, surfaces, and bodies at a glance."

"However, if we put aside the same-dimensional and lower-dimensional matter and face higher-dimensional matter, what will happen to human mental cognition? You know, in reality, those terrifying things that are enough to damage the human spirit are all made up of three-dimensional and two-dimensional matter..."

The Herrscher of the Heart's voice was slightly higher.

"The answer is - mental overload, complete collapse! Just like the ancient gods that humans imagine can drive people crazy just by looking at them, things that are truly beyond the scope of human mental understanding can also destroy the fragile human spirit if they are forcibly observed."

At this time, the chaotic space around the two of them had become regular, with a pure white cube forming the background. Some indescribable plane figures and three-dimensional structures began to appear in front of them one after another, and their shapes continued to change...

"Generally speaking, low-dimensional creatures cannot recognize or observe high-dimensional space. With human eyes, they can only see a bunch of messy plane figures. However, in this space I created, I can temporarily give your senses the ability to observe in high dimensions. Isn't that great?"

The space of the cube seemed to begin to crack. Dark strips slowly emerged from the colorful cracks, bending inward like human ribs, covering the two people standing back to back. The slightly sharp top once again extended into an infinite plane, and more deformed and twisted strips of matter broke through the plane and extended outward...

“Ahhhhh————!!”

Countless powerful and shocking images came into her mind. Iselin screamed and closed her eyes. But even so, the observation ability of four-dimensional space could not be stopped by just turning off the vision.

The two people who were trapped in the illusion space at the moment were given the observation ability of four-dimensional creatures by the Herrscher. Facing this space, they could only understand and digest the information obtained with the spirit of three-dimensional creatures.

In an instant, their brains were filled with high-dimensional information, and their brain capacity occupancy rate instantly reached a dangerous peak...

"Don't rush to shut down the system yet~ This is just the appetizer. It's rare that we have come this far, you should also want to see it, right? What do those so-called 'gods' - real high-dimensional creatures look like? Although they are fake objects simulated in the fantasy world, I can guarantee that these are indeed images from the high-dimensional space!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Try your best, ants..."

In reality, only two seconds had passed since the Herrscher of Heart sighed, and Isaelin, who was standing right in front of her, collapsed to the ground with convulsions. Blood slowly seeped out of her seven orifices, and her breathing quickly became weak.

Fu Hua staggered and knelt on the ground, her face pale as she crossed her legs. As blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, her gray hair began to turn cherry white, as if burning with feather-like flames...

"Oh? You can actually withstand the impact of high-dimensional information... It seems that you are different from this useless traitor."

Ignoring the motionless Iselin, Lindy looked coldly at Fu Hua's vision and walked towards the cherry-white feathered girl.

"But it doesn't matter. Your spirit no longer has the energy to drive your body. Even if I destroy your body from the outside, you can't do anything."

Extending her fingers to Fu Hua's forehead, Lindy's fingertips were covered with a layer of glowing purple particles.

"I will accept the Eighth God's Key and the Core of the Ruler of Reason left by the previous civilization without hesitation..."

The victorious Ruler of the Heart will obtain his own spoils and begin the second phase of the plan to destroy humanity.

Although Fu Hua was defeated, she remained cautious and believed from beginning to end that she would not be able to easily win against a true Herrscher, which is why she was able to fight the Herrscher of the Heart for three rounds without being defeated.

The Ruler of the Heart who won the victory with overwhelming advantage is

Is he as cautious as she is?

the answer is negative.

——!

A dark phantom flashed by, and the slender right hand that was about to touch Fu Hua's forehead flew up into the sky in the eyes of Lindy's quietly enlarged pupils, swirling with purple blood...

--Ding

The hum of metal clashing echoed on the rooftop. The Herrscher of Heart turned around dully. On the metal platform not far behind him, a large dark blue sword was slanted.

The sword suddenly flew from a distance and cut off Lindy's right hand before she could react. However, with an extreme speed that was enough to penetrate the entire building, the sword only sank shallowly into the steel plate on the roof; although it was clearly far faster than the speed of sound, it did not even produce a sonic boom.

Before the pain reached her, a trace of cold sweat slid down Lindy's back.

Herrscher...will also sweat?

Lindy, who wanted to make fun of herself, was slightly stunned when she saw the scene out of the corner of her eye. She followed the flight path of the giant sword and looked towards the other side of the sky in the distance.

Outside the light curtain barrier with a big hole blasted out, the pure white floating battleship slowly approached the Saint Freya Academy. The slender and short conical ship, not even half the size of Iselin's magic-modified Moonlight Throne, made the Herrscher of the Heart look extremely solemn for the first time...

Lindy concentrated all her mental strength, intending to spread the domain out regardless of consumption. Before the battleship arrived, she used her mental annihilation ability just now to eliminate all the people inside.

But her movements suddenly froze.

"I had a long dream."

Following the indifferent girl's voice, a slender hand grasped the hilt of the dark blue sword.

(Behind? When...?!)

Lindy opened her eyes wide and turned her head stiffly, and what she saw was the back of a girl in black.

Long hair in gradient shades of purple-brown and pink, a huge cross-shaped hairpin, and a large sword in her bandaged right hand.

"...Everything I had was taken away, and my past memories were blank. I was lost in an unknown world, wandering around looking for a way out, and waiting for redemption in the emptiness."

She carried the greatsword on her shoulder, her back facing the Herrscher of Heart, the hem of her jet-black military uniform rustling in the wind.

This was clearly a good time to launch a sneak attack. With the Law Power of the Heart Herrscher, he could invade the consciousness of the person in front of him at any time, just like he defeated the Herrscher just now, and crush this powerful enemy to death like a reptile...

But Lindy just stood there blankly.

Her intuition told her that if she attacked at this time, she would lose any hope of survival...

That was definitely not an opponent she could defeat.

"But what I finally waited for was only the light of the end that destroyed everything..."

"A voice told me that if I want to restore everything to its original state, I must send the culprit who caused all this to hell."

Having said this, the girl turned around, and Lindy's panicked little face was reflected in her cherry-red eyes.

"Herrser, are you my enemy?"

634 Existence Beyond the Law

A month ago, before she knew about Nina's death, Iselin was still an expatriate researcher at Saint Freya, and she started her first project two days after arriving at Saint Freya...

"Hey! Iselin, isn't it about time you told us?"

"tell you what?"

"Don't play dumb. Do you really think I can't see anything about the tests you guys conducted at the training ground these past two days?"

Stopping the green-haired girl in a white coat in the passage, Wuliangta Jizi squinted at the test sheet in the other's hand and deliberately stretched out her hand.

"What's that in your hand?"

"Don't touch it! This is important test data..."

"The person standing in front of you is the person in charge of the training ground. Can't I, the person in charge, take a look at the experimental data collected on my territory?"

"Okay, okay, I'm really impressed by you..."

Carefully avoiding Ji Zi's hand, Iselin hugged her temporary data disk tightly as if she were protecting a treasure, sighed and walked to a lounge next to her, and waved to Ji Zi.

The black shadow cut through the space, shattering the illusion that had not yet unfolded, and attacked the controller of the illusion.
