K424 of the Collapse World

So what if it was just a trick? Bronya's only goal was to delay time. According to the information she got from Diana, Shirley would be here in two minutes at most...

Although Diana has been successfully rescued, wouldn't it be better if the invading enemies could be eliminated at the same time?

At this time, Lan Ruiza gradually realized Bronya's plan, and her anxiety became more and more intense.

(Damn it... I must not confront the Herrscher of Restraint head-on. This troublesome brat, isn't she an ally of the Herrscher of Flame? Why did she suddenly switch sides? Could it be that she was on the side of humans from the beginning, and the defeat of the Honkai invasion was also caused by her?)

Lan Ruisa had no idea what happened in the imaginary space, and she naturally thought that the "Heart Ruler" in front of her was the one next to Chloe.

This makes sense. Why is the powerful Honkai Alliance so vulnerable when facing the Far East Branch? Why is the Herrscher of Flame, who possesses the strongest destructive power, easily defeated? The Herrscher of Heart is really good at hiding.

658 leaves troubles behind >>

If I had known this, I shouldn't have exposed myself rashly...

She thought silently, the anxiety in her eyes becoming stronger. But even though she was extremely anxious, she couldn't just move freely in the powerful artillery fire. Without the protection of the barrier, these artillery fire with Honkai energy could easily penetrate her skin.

Thirty seconds...one minute...the bombardment continued.

She could already feel the approaching Honkai energy fluctuations from afar, the trembling from the soul tortured her heart, and cold sweat climbed up her spine...

(Wait, the power of the artillery fire has become weaker? But the barrage

The number has obviously not decreased...)

While concentrating her mind, she keenly noticed that Bronya's attack began to weaken, and a certain part of the shield was receiving less and less attack.

Whether it was because the Ruler of the Heart lacked energy or some other reason, it didn't matter.

Lan Ruisha only knew that she must not miss this opportunity.

(The time is now!)

The barrier that was bearing the attack suddenly broke apart! The Herrscher of the Rock instantly exposed herself to the attack of the artillery fire. The next moment, she suddenly swung out a deep red gravitational wave, tearing apart all the artillery fire falling in front of her!

Taking advantage of the gap in the attack that she had noticed before, Lan Ruisha escaped from the encirclement of the barrage with only minor injuries to her shoulder and thigh.

"Don't try to escape."

The remaining turrets turned around according to Bronya's will and aimed at the Herrscher of the Stone again. However, before the beams of light left the barrels, the turrets in half of the sky were crushed into dust by the dark red tide of gravity!

Faced with a force powerful enough to bring down stars, Bronya's construct is no match for it.

Looking at the sky full of explosion dust, in addition to those crushed entities, there are thousands of artillery positions that have directly turned into phantoms and dissipated. Lan Ruisha's eyes are a little gloomy. She was actually fooled by a little trick...

The Herrscher of Rock reorganized himself, but did not attack the two defenseless girls. Instead, he glanced in the direction of Saint Freya with fear, and immediately changed direction.

"Tsk... I will get back at you for today's account, especially you... Herrscher of the Heart!"

The opponent's actions were extremely decisive. When Bronya subconsciously summoned the superalloy shield, the Herrscher of Rock had already added gravity to himself and flew in the opposite direction of the Far East Branch with all his strength.

Seeing this, Diana hurriedly struggled to climb up from the mechanical arm, tore a crack in the air and prepared to cross the space to chase.

"hiss--!"

However, the silver-haired girl, who had consumed too much power, felt a sharp pain in her brain as soon as she stepped into the wormhole. With the sudden dizziness, her body fell down uncontrollably...

The next moment, Bronya's little hand grabbed a strand of Diana's hair, pulled her back and held her in her arms.

"Foolish Diana, with your current body, do you want to give your core to the Herrscher of Stone?"

"Well......"

Diana took a while to recover, and looked at Bronya with a pale and bitter face.

"Let that guy escape..."

"You can't stop her even if you chase her."

"Feel sorry......"

Diana seemed to want to say something, but after she was out of combat, the terrible injury in her abdomen instantly took away all her strength. She could only collapse in Bronya's arms, without even the strength to speak.

As they spoke, a pale blue light appeared in the distant sky. Soon, the blue-winged dragon broke through the clouds and quickly arrived beside the two girls.

The silver-haired girl jumped off the dragon's back with a stern face and flew straight towards the suspended heavy-duty bunny armor.

"Diana..."

Facing Diana who was seriously injured and in shock, looking at her bloody abdomen and missing left arm, Shirley, who wanted to criticize her, couldn't help but give up the idea. Finally, she sighed, and the anger in her eyes disappeared, leaving only a trace of pity.

"You're too impulsive."

Whispering helplessly, Shiris stretched out her hand and with some effort mobilized the little remaining Honkai energy. The light of the power of creation appeared in her palm, and the soft light slowly seeped into Diana's body.

At this time, she looked at Bronya who had transformed into a Herrscher.

"Bronya, you look...?"

"Sister Sis, Bronya is now the Herrscher of the Heart."

The gray-haired girl rubbed her hands nervously, as if she was organizing her words to explain what had happened to Shirley.

However, Shirley did not ask immediately, but lowered her head solemnly.

"Thank you for saving my sister."

"...This is what Bronya should do. We can't just watch the stupid Diana die."

"Well, she is indeed a fool this time! She dares to stand in front of the Herrscher of the Stone even though she is so injured..."

Shirley smiled bitterly and shook her head. Under the power of creation, Diana's forearm recovered in just a few tens of seconds, and her shattered abdominal cavity was quickly reorganized under the brilliance of energy.

After the girl's injuries stabilized, she stood up holding Diana.

"It's time to go back, Bronya. Tell me in detail what happened to you."

"But the Herrscher of the Rock..."

"Don't worry, she can't escape. I have almost guessed the identity of the Herrscher of the Stone. If nothing unexpected happens, someone will soon clean up the mess personally..."

"Theresa, are you really not going to go see her?"

Sitting in the guest seat of the minister's office, Shilis looked at the short girl behind the desk and suddenly asked

This proposal.

"..."

Hearing this, Theresa's hand holding the pen trembled for a moment. She pretended to be calm and finished writing the document in her hand before putting the pen down.

"No way..."

"Why not? You should be one of Cecilia's most important people, right? She was originally going to return to the headquarters with Otto, and Siegfried finally managed to keep her. But you are avoiding her. Isn't that a bit too strange?"

Looking at the elementary school principal who lowered his head and shrank into the chair, Shirley did not give him any chance to escape and asked relentlessly.

Nearly two weeks had passed since the Honkai attack, and today was the day after Shiris was officially discharged from the hospital. After the girl informed her relatives and friends that she was safe, she made a special trip to Theresa's office just to deal with the remaining issues of the Kaslana family.

Regarding this question, we have to mention an incident that happened not long ago. With a silver-haired Valkyrie from the headquarters joining the Far East branch, the rumor that "Siegfried has hooked up with another woman from the Shaniyat family" is no longer a secret in the Far East Valkyrie circle. Since the information about the S-level Valkyrie Cecilia belongs to the top-secret files of the Destiny Organization, except for a few insiders related to Siegfried, the other Valkyries all regarded the strange silver-haired woman as another member of the Shaniyat family.

Siegfried was very generous and didn't care at all that others thought he was a "scumbag". After convincing Cecilia to stay with him, he immediately ran to Theresa happily to ask for a registration file.

Due to the secret manipulation of a certain bishop, the Helheim database has cleared the relevant records of "Experimental Subject Cecilia" and prepared a new identity for her - C-rank Valkyrie, Sera Shaniat.

In order to continue investigating the nature of the power of creation, Otto left the Soul Steel prosthesis in the Far East Branch after repairing the connection template of the prosthesis, so that he could observe Cecilia at any time.

In short, there will be no problem with the transfer of Cecilia's files, which fully complies with the requirements of the Destiny Organization. Moreover, Theresa will officially meet her old friend...

And this is where the problem lies.

Theresa, Cecilia's former best friend, just forced a smile to Siegfried and completed the file transfer as quickly as possible. During this period, she dodged Cecilia's hopeful and curious gaze and always kept a strange distance.

Perhaps sensing Theresa's obvious rejection, Cecilia was in a low mood and did not take the initiative to approach the silver-haired girl who seemed familiar. It was not until a few days later that Cecilia, feeling depressed and uneasy, implicitly expressed her doubts to Siegfried...

"Siegfried, is Miss Theresa really my good friend? Ah... That's not what I meant. In fact, I can feel a sense of closeness from her, and I really want to stay by her side. But I don't know why, I always feel that she is not very willing to accept me..."

So, there was Shirley's sudden visit today.

Facing the strong silver-haired girl, Theresa looked away and stammered, trying to change the subject.

"Well, Shirley... Look, I still have a lot of work to do here, can you let me..."

"What's more important, family or work?"

"Uh......"

Faced with the girl's interruption, Theresa was speechless again.

This was obviously a fatal question. Theresa felt that no matter what she answered, the girl in front of her would have reason to lecture her severely.

"This matter can be put on hold for the time being..."

"I don't think there's anything to slow down. Theresa, my purpose is simple. Just tell me why you can't accept her. If you insist no matter what, I won't force you to do anything."

"..."

Hearing this, Theresa lowered her head even lower.

"sorry......"

"Why do you want to apologize to me? This is a matter between you and Cecilia. I was just asked to investigate the matter between you two. Also, please don't act so weak all the time. It's as if I'm bullying an elderly person."

Shirley tapped lightly on the wooden armrest, her sharp gaze piercing into Theresa, making the girl even more restless.

"..."

As if she could no longer bear the girl's gaze, Theresa took a deep breath and forced herself to raise her head.

"You know, the real Cecilia has..."

"Before you say this, think about how you pestered me in the first place."

She interrupted Theresa subconsciously, but seeing the petite girl losing her courage and shrinking back again, Shirley suddenly regretted speaking too fast.

However, after hearing this, she basically understood what Theresa's problem was.

"It's really strange. You shouldn't have this problem. When we first had an open conversation, no matter how I explained, you insisted on treating me like Cecilia and sticking to me like a dog-skin plaster.

. But now, Cecilia, who may also be a clone, is even more like the person in your memory than I am, so why are you unwilling to accept it?"

"Because... even if you have Cecilia's memories, your consciousness may not be the original Cecilia. Shirley, you told me this yourself..."

Hearing this explanation, Shilis tilted her head.

"Oh... So everything is my fault?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. It's just... I'm a little worried. If this Cecilia is also another person, I will have to treat her with this attitude in the future... When I think about this, I start to be afraid to get close to her..."

"Didn't you see Siegfried's attitude?"

"Siegfried? I'm not him, how can I know what he's thinking..."

Theresa shook her head and looked at Shiris with an almost pleading look, as if she hoped the girl would drop the topic.

How could her feelings for Cecilia be fake? But she knew better than anyone that the woman had already died in the battlefield of the second collapse. The dead are gone, and even if she uses cloning technology to create a replica, it is no longer the original person...

This was proved to her by Shilis Kaslana herself.

But now, Hillis, who personally denied her identity as Cecilia, actually wants me to accept another Cecilia. What a joke!

706 Family >>

"Ha...it seems like you have no idea at all."

As if not noticing Theresa's strangeness, Shilis left her chair and walked to the girl's desk.

"Why do you think Siegfried accepted Cecilia? He had heard what I said before and knew that it was just a copy. You know, Siegfried doesn't need a substitute to fill the void in his heart. Knowing all this, why would he be willing to accept a copy of his wife? Have you ever thought about this reason?"

"How would I know......"

"Because that Cecilia is not the clone you think she is."

"What did you say?"

With her hands on the desk, Shilis looked down at Theresa sitting on the chair, her expression becoming serious without her noticing.

"She was 'resurrected' by the Ruler of Death with the power of creation, and she has no memories of her past."

"The power of creation? Wait, Herrscher of Death...you mean Hill?"

"Do you think there is a second Herrscher of Death? Although there is no conclusive evidence yet that the one resurrected by the power of creation is the dead himself. Tell me, what did Siegfried realize that made him accept Cecilia, who didn't even have any memories?"

"you mean......?"

Theresa couldn't help but stand up, her eyes burning.
