K424 of the Collapse World

That scarred woman lying on the twisted cobblestone road with her head split in two, wasn't she the attacker who had just been chasing her?

Xing was slightly startled, and immediately noticed that next to the woman's body, Bronya was still in her bloodstained black dress, kneeling on the path leading to the eastern side door of the Far East Research Department. Obviously, this was where she was in reality.

"Bronya...did you meet this guy? Did you follow me here?!"

"..."

"Bronya, cheer up! What happened here? This wound...Did Seele's sickle kill her? Where is Seele? Where did Seele go?"

Although she had already guessed the truth, Xing was unwilling to trust her intuition. She questioned Bronya, hoping to hear a different answer from her.

"...Xi...er?"

Hearing the name that Xing called out, Bronya's body trembled violently, as if she was a puppet with a clockwork spring twisted again. She raised her head stiffly, and stared at Xing with her creepy blood-stained pupils.

The next moment, the girl's lips slightly opened and curved upwards strangely.

"If Xi'er is talking about... isn't it right there?"

Noticing the direction in which the pair of blood-red eyes were focused, Xing did not follow her gaze, but just shook her head.

"That's just a fake thing you created with your imagination. What I want to know is, where is the real Xi'er?"

Bronya's smile froze.

Blood flowed from her eye sockets, leaving two desperate red marks on her cheeks, dripping into the flowers mixed with corpse parts.

The space changes according to the will of its owner. In the gradually spreading blood pool, blood-colored Lycoris quietly blooms...

The next moment, the gray-haired girl's expression suddenly became hysterical.

"That's the real Seele! Seele is not dead! She is still alive! Living beside Bronya... accompanying Bronya..."

"..."

Looking at the girl who was struggling to get up and stretched out her pale and bloody hands towards her, Xing Mo Ran closed her eyes and understood the truth of everything.

"Xi'er is not dead... not dead..."

Letting the weak hands tear at her collar, Xing sighed deeply and looked at the girl who was gradually going crazy with pity.

"In an extreme loss of control, the Honkai energy went out of control, and she kept denying the reality that Seele was dead, and wanted to use the power of the Herrscher to revive Seele. The power of the Herrscher's Law evolved under these three influences, and swallowed up the material reality of the outside world with the illusion space... You are really amazing, Bronya."

"Xi'er... is still alive..."

"Idiot! Seele is dead, and you are killing innocent people in the entire research department! Bronya, wake up now!"

Grabbing Bronya's collar, Xing roared and slapped her on the cheek, trying to bring the girl back to consciousness.

“Haha…hahahahaha~!”

However, the opposite happened. Following An's "attack", Bronya's eyes, which had completely turned blood red, gradually lost their dullness and emptiness, as if she had lost the last shackles and became more and more crazy like a horse running free.

The black and red blood structures broke through her skin, forming twisted and ethereal hideous blood wings that slowly unfolded behind Bronya.

This is the manifestation of her desire to kill in an imaginary form, and also the mirror of the girl's soul stained by despair.

Xing saw this and a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but the next moment it was replaced by decisiveness and resolution.

It seems that Bronya's body and mind have long been completely eroded by the power of Honkai, and she only maintains the last bit of rationality by relying on her obsession with Seele. And now, after being overwhelmed by the fact of Seele's death, she will soon be sublimated into the perfect form of the Eighth Herrscher and become a killing tool that obeys the will of Honkai.

Perhaps, I shouldn't let her accept the news of Xi'er's death. But even if I say nothing, I can't stop the Ruler of the Heart from gradually losing control of the law!

"Bronya..."

Xing moaned, and a pitch-black pointer sword appeared in her hand, pointing at the gray-haired girl's inhuman body.

We must stop her before that happens and stop the expansion and erosion of reality by the law of illusion. Otherwise, the infinitely expanding illusion space will be enough to tear the entire material dimension apart!

In other words... I must kill this friend! Before she completely degenerates into a Herrscher.

.

Can you do it? With this scarred body...

Even though she thought so, the determination in the girl's eyes remained unwavering.

(But even if I can’t do it, I have to do it~——That’s what Sissy-sister will say, right?)

The odds were slim, but he still had a chance to defeat her, to pierce her body with this sword, to shatter her core...

Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was strange that she would have such an idea. Under normal circumstances, she would definitely choose the safest way, just to save her life and return safely to Sister Shilis to enjoy her tenderness.

But this time, the impulsive decision I made was like being possessed by Sister Shiris...

There is also that knowledge that I have never come into contact with, but it clearly appears in my mind. I still can't figure it out until now.

Xing shook her head, putting aside the distracting thoughts in her mind, and the only thing left in her eyes was the slowly unfolding blood wings.

However, it doesn't matter. If this is my fate, then I will just walk towards the end of my destiny!

(You know, Bronya... I used to hate you. I hated your adult-like calmness, I hated that you always received praise from Sister Shirley, I hated that you and Seele were always together, I really hated it...)

Facing the blood wings sweeping over, Xing stepped forward and slashed out with the black sword in his hand with all his strength...

(But now I understand... hating you is just a self-deception. In fact, I just envy everything about you, your interpersonal relationships, your understanding, and your gentleness and thoughtfulness just like Sister Shilis...)

Using unimaginable brute force, she directly bounced off the Herrscher's blood wings. In the girl's golden right eye, a wave of light appeared. Wherever the light reached, everything in the illusion and reality slowed down.

Looking at the other half of the blood-red wing, Xing accelerated his steps again and slashed at the attacking blood wing again...

(If the person I met for the first time that night was you, I'm afraid the person I love most in my life would also be...)

--Ding

When the sword wings finally crossed, the voice in the girl's heart also stopped.

The pitch-black blade broke and disintegrated without any suspense, disappearing into the cracks of the illusion. At the same time, the blood-colored deformed wings stretched forward, pierced deeply into the chest of the pink-haired girl, and pierced through her back.

Blood, falling.

Xing coughed up a mouthful of blood, with a hint of helplessness on her weak and pale face.

Lost?

She raised her hand tremblingly, touched Bronya's blood-stained cheek, and gently touched the tip of the girl's nose.

(As expected... I hate you the most...)

727 Two Opposite Sides

Fingertips fell.

As the powerless little hand slowly dropped down, the petite body pierced by the wing tip completely lost its response.

The gray-haired girl waved her blood-red wings casually, threw the girl hanging on them down, then turned around quietly, staring into the distance that was gradually turning into chaos.

Unlike other bloodthirsty Honkai executors, she doesn't need to care about the life and death of the enemy in front of her. After all, when this area is completely eroded, her mission as a Honkai messenger will be over.

Every Herrscher has the potential to easily reset the world, but every Herrscher cannot fully control his or her own laws.

The power displayed by the Herrscher of the Heart at this moment - materializing the illusion of the spiritual world, forcibly eroding the material world, and simply and roughly integrating the two. This is undoubtedly the most essential way to use this Herrscher's Law.

——Exercise God’s power.

At that time, everything will disappear. When this material dimension of the universe collapses, this era of mankind will naturally cease to exist...

Destroy and restart. The world will return to its original order.

The girl who had completely fallen into darkness would never return to the "Bronya" she once was. Now, she was only the eighth-order execution program of the collapse, nothing more.

Now, all she had to do was continue to spread the power of her laws and wait...

————Snap! !

As the chaos that covered the sky and the sun expanded further, a crack suddenly appeared at the farthest boundary of this space...

The next moment, huge icicles tore open the chaotic shell, bringing the cold currents and glaciers in the sky into this overlapping erosion space!

The Herrscher of the Heart turned his head expressionlessly, and in his calm bloodshot eyes, he reflected the glacier that had stretched apart the barrier of space and was in opposition to the laws of the illusion.

The white-haired man in a coat stood on top of the highest icicle on the glacier, looking down at the girl who had completely collapsed.

"..."

Facing the powerful Perfect Body Ruler, his eyes still showed no sadness or joy, only a frosty calmness.

There is no need to hesitate about what to do.

The twisted blood wings, carrying a doomsday-like blood-red twisted wave, bombarded the oncoming glacier like a tidal wave, and Kevin also raised his palm.

The strongest power of human civilization is revealed at this moment...

The spaces that were swallowed by the illusion of laws had been broken down and integrated into a part of the overlapping world. And with the disappearance of half of the illusion world, these torn and merged fragments also returned to the real space.

However, this part of the swallowed matter, including the human researchers involved, has been indiscriminately crushed and reorganized by the power of the law, turning into piles of indescribable twisted complexes, gradually covering this empty space...

The three buildings of the Research Department, including the sentry post and parking lot in the outer area, have all disappeared, leaving only the barren wasteland under the foundations and the scattered "debris".

From the explosion in the experimental building and the erosion of the illusion to the collapse of it all, it only took about three minutes.

Three minutes was enough time for the well-trained Valkyries to gather and take action. But unfortunately, they had no chance to intervene in this incident. Once they were involved in the spatial erosion of the law, their mortal bodies would be decomposed and assembled into a strange aggregate of various parts, just like those researchers...

At the center of this area, countless abstract ice pillars penetrated the ground, forming magnificent and shocking giant ice sculptures. However, even these seemingly indestructible "glaciers" were easily broken and cut off by some force, scattered among the surrounding polymers, making the entire space more chaotic, as if it had experienced an extremely terrible war.

At the top of a giant icicle like an iceberg, a petite figure was nailed to it by a huge icicle. Countless ice thorns contained her like a kaleidoscope, cruelly piercing the girl's body.

The top of the iceberg has been dyed a conspicuous blood red...

The white-haired man stood beside the icicle.

Not far away, the dying pink-haired girl lay on a flat surface of ice. The wound left by Bloodwing on her chest had been frozen by a thin layer of blue ice, stopping the bleeding.

Even though she was extremely weak, Xing still did not die.

Kevin's seemingly easy rescue changed the fate of the girl's death and brought her back to her destiny. Or maybe this was the trajectory that fate had arranged and had never changed from the beginning.

But no matter what, the people present would not attribute all this to fate...

All they see are the results.

The girls who stole theocracy have arrived at the edge of the battlefield one after another, looking at their companions who lost their lives in the ice coffin with different expressions.

Some were surprised, some were angry...but there was more confusion in their eyes.

"Bronya..."

Looking at the gray-haired girl lying in the ice spikes, killed by thousands of arrows piercing her heart, Diana opened her eyes wide and felt as if something was blocking her heart.

The friend I had been with day and night for five years, the girl who was playing games with me and fighting for Mei’s lap yesterday, just died like that?

727 Two people on opposite sides >>

Even after experiencing many life and death separations, she still couldn't accept this scene.

But the fact cannot be denied just because she "doesn't accept it".

Obviously, she was dead... This was not a dream, but a reality happening before my eyes.

Diana breathed slightly, glanced at Mei who was already in tears, and Kiana who had a gloomy expression on the other side, and looked at the glacier ahead again.

Not only Bronya, but also the girl named Xing was lying on the other side of the glacier, covered with bruises all over her body. Her chest was covered with a layer of frost. From her perspective, it looked like an ice blade was inserted into her chest.

And the murderer who killed them...

Staring at the calm-looking white-haired man, Diana clenched her teeth, trying to suppress the blood rushing to her brain, and resisting the urge to activate the Herrscher's energy.

The girl knew that she shouldn't take the first step now...

Because, "she" has come.

Click...

Casually kicking away a piece of metal shell with a human face embedded in it, a figure with disheveled silver hair walked over the girls' shoulders and stepped into the area constructed of ice and heteropolymers.

Shirley raised her head and looked at the blood-stained peak of the iceberg. The younger generation who was like a sister to her died tragically in front of her eyes, but there was no negative emotion such as sadness, pain, shock, anger, or excitement in her golden eyes.

She just stared at the girl covered in ice thorns, as if she wanted to engrave this image into her mind.

She seemed to see an illusory blue butterfly flapping its wings gently, clinging to the girl's body with affection, until it turned into particles of light and dissipated into the void...

Shiris bit her lip and her pupils constricted.

Even Xi'er...

Yes, since Bronya has become like this and Seele, who was inseparable from her, is nowhere to be seen, it is obviously impossible for her to abandon her sister and run away alone.

Then
