K424 of the Collapse World

"Without a physical body, my spirit residing in the core will never be able to leave here. Rather than facing the punishment of the Herrscher of the Void in this space, I would rather end my life here."

The girl's tone was calm, and there was no light in her empty and clear eyes. Living forever in a silent and dark world is probably the most unbearable punishment.

At this point, Lindy doesn't think that the Valkyrie of the Far East Branch will let her, the initiator of the invasion plan, go. At least the double helix drill loli in front of her will definitely not let her go.

"..."

Bronya hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved the gun muzzle pointing at the pink-haired girl's chest upwards and aimed it at her forehead.

Well, as long as I kill her, the hint in my heart will be eliminated, right?

"But I still don't quite understand."

But just as Bronya was about to pull the trigger, the Herrscher, who was ready to die, spoke again.

"When our consciousnesses clashed, a small part of your mental power merged with my thoughts, so I probably already knew that you

The reason why the will is so strong...”

She lost her family in the disaster and became a young soldier under the local warlord. Then, at the young age of less than twelve, she became the famous Ural Silver Wolf in Russia. The experience of this gray-haired girl in front of her was far beyond what Lindy could imagine.

While she was still pestering her parents, the other party had already learned how to shoot...

"But, after all you've been through, don't you hate this damn world? You've lost important things over and over again, and you've been used like a tool by those officers. Don't you hate the culprits who caused you pain?"

Lindy didn't understand why this girl, whose life experience was far more difficult and tragic than hers, did not receive the blessing of Honkai, but instead became a Valkyrie who protected humanity?

Protecting those selfish and greedy ants? It is impossible for her not to know what caused all the suffering she had endured...

Why didn't she feel hatred? Why could she face those shameless perpetrators calmly?

Looking at the puzzled look of the pink-haired girl, Bronya just tilted her head.

"do not know."

"Eh?"

"Bronya can't understand your thoughts. Living in Siberia after the second collapse, it's hard enough just to survive. Bronya doesn't have the extra energy to think about these things."

Looking at the calm gray-haired girl, Lindy was stunned. But soon, she lowered her head with a self-deprecating smile on her face.

"That's it..."

As expected, humans cannot understand each other, and never will.

Even though he was now a high-level Herrscher, without the support of the power of the law, he could not see through what was in the mind of this cold little girl.

But never mind... Be it the duties of a God's messenger or the goal of Honkai, they have nothing to do with a loser like me, right?

"I still don't understand... Oh well, that's it. I'm sorry to have kept you for so long. As a thank you for granting me eternal sleep, I'll leave you a small gift."

"Gift?"

"Well, after all, what's done cannot be undone, and I can't interfere anymore. Now, I'm afraid I am also considered one of the traitors of Honkai, right? Haha..."

She smiled in relief. Chloe was defeated, and she was also disconnected from the Honkai Will in her spiritual space. At this time, Lindy could no longer persist in her mission as a Herrscher.

Perhaps from the very beginning, destroying the world was not what she wanted.

So...what exactly do you want?

If there is an afterlife, I should be able to find...

"Go ahead, Bronya Zajcek. Although the eighth sequence collapse has ended, you will inherit this curse until the end of this era..."

Holding the seriously injured silver-haired girl in her arms, Bronya stood on the heavily-armored bunny and stared at the surprised Herrscher of the Rock from a distance.

Feeling the unprecedented abundant energy in her body, the girl couldn't help but sigh.

657 Illusion Power>>

(That guy who was talking to himself, what is the so-called gift? It turns out this is what it is...)

In order to possess her body, the Herrscher of the Heart actively promoted the fusion of the Herrscher core with Bronya's body when Bronya touched the core, neutralizing all the rejection reactions and paving the way for the subsequent possession plan.

However, Lindy's consciousness was defeated by Bronya in the confrontation. Naturally, the preparations she had made in advance benefited Bronya, the winner.

So, when Bronya woke up, she found that the core of the Herrscher of the Heart had been perfectly integrated into her body. She could manipulate the Herrscher's energy as if it was instinctive, without any blockage caused by rejection...

You know, it took Diana six full years to gradually awaken the Herrscher core fragments in her body. She slowly mastered the abilities of the Herrscher of the Void through the process of adapting to the power of the Herrscher, and successfully transformed into a Herrscher not long ago.

Compared to her, Bronya's transformation into a Herrscher is simply a leap forward!

Faced with this pie-in-the-sky treatment, although Bronya felt a little weird, she was still happy to accept this Herrscher-level power. She didn't want to keep holding Seele back.

"How is this possible! You are... the Herrscher of the Heart?"

"Bronya is not obligated to answer your questions."

Bronya slowly lowered her head and looked at the bloody silver-haired girl in her arms, her eyes becoming gloomy.

Half of the girl's abdomen was covered in blood, and half of her left arm was missing. She looked as if she had been fished out of a pool of blood. Even her long silver hair, as smooth as brocade silk, was covered by thick blood stains, obscuring its original brilliance.

"Only Bronya can bully stupid Diana! But you dare to do this to her... Humph, Bronya will definitely avenge Diana!"

Staring at the still stunned Herrscher of the Rock, the mecha phantom behind Bronya lit up red light, making it more and more terrifying in the mist.

Can't tell whether it's an illusion or a reality.

"Well, I'm not dead yet... And, what you just said was terrible in every sense..."

The corners of Diana's mouth twitched as she looked at Bronya, who had transformed into a Herrscher, and had recovered from her previous surprise.

Although she didn't know why Bronya also became a Herrscher, now was not the time to dwell on it. If Bronya hadn't come to help, she would have probably been turned into meat scraps.

However, being held horizontally by a lolita who is 20cm shorter than me is a bit weird. However, looking at Bronya's profile from this angle, I feel a strange feeling...

Moreover, why did the Herrscher of the Rock turn sideways to Bronya and speak to the air?

"Get out of the way!"

Just when Diana's mind was full of question marks, the Herrscher of Rock suddenly made a move, and a dark red gravitational core appeared out of thin air... a few hundred meters away from Bronya.

Even India's intercontinental missiles would not have such an exaggerated error.

Diana was stunned at first, then she saw the blue vortex in Bronya's eyes and immediately understood what had happened.

(Cognitive disruption... is a basic ability of the Herrscher of the Heart, but why is she so proficient in it...)

Seeing the two girls being crushed by the gravity core, Lan Ruisha frowned immediately. She didn't believe that she could kill those two tough enemies with just one blow.

With another burst of mental fluctuations, the Herrscher of Rock dispelled the illusion before his eyes, and immediately found that his attack had missed as expected, but at this moment, Bronya's counterattack had already arrived!

"Star Destroyer 19c, cluster bombing."

Dense energy bombs suddenly attacked from the side and rear. Lan Ruisha immediately held up the shield to block the incoming missiles, but just as she saw the missiles crash into the surface of the barrier, a violent impact suddenly came from behind her, and a burning pain followed!

“Hmm…?!”

The wound on her back was hit by rockets again, tearing the wound even more severely. In order to escape at any time, she did not use the all-round tortoise shell shield like before, which caused her to suffer another loss.

"This is the second illusion... Guess what else Bronya has disturbed your perception?"

The girl with a calm expression stood on the heavy-duty rabbit mechanical arm, her eyes suddenly fixed.

"Full-area suppression!"

Countless hovering turrets were constructed, instantly covering the entire sky! Looking at the densely packed mechanical turrets, which numbered no less than ten thousand, the Herrscher of the Rock narrowed his eyes.

With so many artillery batteries, if every shot had the power of the cluster artillery just now, I'm afraid that even if I fully deploy the repulsion shield, it will be difficult to block it.

only......

"Humph, this amount of physical structure... only the Ruler of Reason can do it! With this kind of fraud..."

He sneered and expressed his guess, but before the Herrscher of the Stone could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bronya.

"Really? Are you sure these are just your hallucinations?"

Bronya suddenly smiled. The soft and sweet smile of a fifteen-year-old girl was chilling in Lan Ruisha's eyes.

"Bronya can't create so many turrets with her Herrscher ability alone, but guess what the function of Bronya's Heavy Armor Bunny is?"

Looking at the half-mecha beside Bronya, Lan Ruiza's expression changed slightly.

"Weapons from the pre-civilization era..."

"That's right. And even if Bronya really can't build so many turrets, she can mix some useful ones into the illusion. It's possible to mix a few hundred or a thousand turrets among the total number of tens of thousands, right?"

"..."

"It's all illusion, it's all real, or it's a mixture of illusion and real... Can you guess what the truth is?"

658 Leaving a legacy

Before fusing with the Herrscher Core, Bronya already possessed a certain degree of construction ability.

When the Honkai energy in her body is active, she can use the Heavy Bunny Energy Source to deploy the mecha's built-in armament system, construct hundreds of floating turrets, and carry out indiscriminate bombing of the area ahead. This has always been her strongest means of attack - before she became a Herrscher.

Although the ability of the Herrscher of Heart is not very compatible with her Heavy Armor Bunny, the huge increase in Honkai energy brought by the Herrscherization cannot be ignored.

Admittedly, the inexperienced Bronya could only release some simple illusions to disrupt the opponent's perception, but could not use Lindy's powerful mental attack to directly destroy the opponent's consciousness.

However, since she could not use all of her Herrscher's abilities, she could also give up some of her Herrscher's powers and use the surplus powerful energy to strengthen her own exclusive weapons.

"Star Destroyer 19c-ex, all-around suppression!"

By empowering the energy core of Heavy Usagi with Herrscher-level Honkai energy, the girl successfully created a sea of ​​machinery comparable to that of the Herrscher of Reason.

That's right, there are 29528 floating turrets in total, all of which are energy-materialized weapons, and none of them are illusions.

projection!

As for the Herrscher of Rock, she determined that the girl was attacking with a mixture of illusions and entities, and she only used half of her spirit to support an all-round shield. The dark red gravity core appeared in her palm again, intending to launch a counterattack while defending.

Mixed attacks and the like are, after all, just a trick to deceive the eyes, nothing to worry about!

She kept thinking like this until Bronya's bombardment hit the barrier, and then she gradually lost her leeway...

Boom boom boom boom——

Intensive artillery fire bombarded the eggshell-shaped barrier, accompanied by bursts of fire. Like a puddle in a heavy rain, the ripples on the surface of the barrier began to fluctuate more violently!

What's going on?! Is this abnormal power...really just a trick of mixed illusion?

She was about to attack Bronya, but the load around the barrier was close to the limit, so she had to give up the attack and use more energy to strengthen the barrier...

Could it be that those turrets are real, and she possesses a powerful construction ability comparable to that of the Ruler of Reason?

Or is it that even the feeling of being attacked at this moment is an illusion created by the Ruler of the Heart?

But the shield's collapse energy is indeed being consumed at a very fast rate...

Since Lan Ruisha could directly resist Mei's super electromagnetic field, it was not difficult for her to block these artillery fire. But during her escape, she was not in a perfect mental state to deal with these annoying little flies.

The result of failed prediction is that you are surrounded by all-round floating cannons and are bombarded by artillery fire.

In this state, she could only huddle in a small defensive barrier and was unable to take any action.

"Fully armed, extreme mode..."

Bronya spread her arms and floated in the air, her cherry-red ribbon and skirt moving without wind, constantly extracting the Honkai energy in her body, filling the core of the heavy-armored bunny mecha, maintaining the rain-like barrage...

"Bronya?"

"..."

Diana sat on the robot arm of the heavy-duty bunny and looked at Bronya's thin back. She could feel that the gray-haired girl's energy response was rapidly weakening...

In just a dozen seconds, the girl's breathing had become rapid, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted. Obviously, maintaining a saturation bombardment that was enough to suppress the Herrscher of the Stone was not easy for a Herrscher like her who was not good at frontal combat.

Bloodshot began to appear in the blue star eyes...

It won't be long before Bronya is completely exhausted and faces her own defeat.

However, Bronya had no intention of winning this battle from the beginning.

Using the power of the Herrscher of the Heart to connect with Diana's consciousness, she quickly understood the current situation and knew that the powerful Herrscher in front of her was fleeing in panic...

She was afraid of a pursuer.

In that case, let's continue to drag her here and let her face the fear deep in her soul!

(The energy replenishment can no longer keep up with the consumption... Even so, I have to maintain the illusion of being strong!)

Bronya's eyes focused, and the light in her blue pupils became more and more intense.

In this dense matrix of floating guns, more and more turrets faded and dissipated, and were then replaced by virtual projection turrets. The light from the cluster guns and explosions was still as dazzling as at the beginning.
