K424 of the Collapse World

Touching her spine that was aching with phantom pain, Xing half-closed her eyes. Her empty pupils no longer reflected the golden world in front of her, and even no longer showed the slightest light, as if she had merged with the solidified golden world...

All the memories in her mind were revealed, and displayed before her "eyes". As she browsed through these indistinguishable images, Xing suddenly laughed.

(I see......)

The clenched fist loosened tremblingly.

(Why did I go to the Research Department in my dream?)

Xing was still smiling, but her smile had long been frozen by the cold.

(Such an important thing...I actually forgot it?)

The dust and energy particles lingered around, changing shapes without restraint in front of the girl, as if mocking her stupidity.

At the moment when the light curtain of the law invaded the world, her instinctive sense of crisis forced her to release her power, allowing two golden rings to intertwine and merge in the air.

Yes, the sense of crisis brought by the light curtain made her complete this self-protection behavior unconsciously. She was even unconscious for a while after doing it, until she saw the frozen silver-haired girl and woke up...

It was this sense of crisis that made her recall the deeper fears in her mind.

Fleeing desperately in the silent world, struggling helplessly under the threat of death, facing an absolutely invincible opponent alone. There is no hope, no salvation, and the only law of time that can be relied on has also become a cage in the Colosseum at that moment...

And at this moment, it was this fateful light curtain that made the images that were buried by the brain's protection mechanism appear clearly in her mind again.

That's right.

In that dream, it was because I sensed the formation of this light curtain that I headed to the scientific research department at the source of energy and encountered that terrifying opponent...

Xing thought silently, walked around the people who had turned into sculptures in the tavern, and walked out the door.

She looked in the direction of the scientific research department, but her brows furrowed again.

Can't feel...

Different from the impression in her dream, she could not feel any energy-driven reaction from the Research Department at all. The golden world came to a complete standstill, as if it was natural that no moving things existed.

Yes, it’s different from the dream.

no the same......

............

............

The girl was silent for a moment and let out a breath.

In other words, this was still her illusion? Because of the persecution delusion caused by that damn dream, she unconsciously activated her ability. In fact, the enemy that appeared in the dream did not exist at all. Everything was just her imagination?

“Hee…hehe…hahahahahahaha…!”

Thinking of this, Xing laughed even more exaggeratedly. Her wanton laughter could not be transmitted in the solidified air and all flowed into her own ears.

After all this time, were all my fantasies? Maybe I should go to a mental hospital. Or should I ask Bronya to help me with the treatment? Isn't she the Herrscher of the Heart? Treating mental illness shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Xing thought with a self-deprecating smile. Now, she should immediately cancel this damn time stop, then go back to her home, crawl into bed and sleep until tomorrow morning, and it would be best if she could forget all the nightmares and these terrible things...

Xing slowly raised her hand, intending to end her ability with a gorgeous snap of her fingers and let time flow again.

(Wait a moment)

hand......

Stopped in mid-air.

The girl, who had already determined the truth, stopped her actions because of another mystery.

The girl turned her head away.

Looking at the Valkyries around her who were frozen in time and would never be able to notice that time had stopped, Xing looked at their bodies covered in gold, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

At the moment the domain unfolds, anyone other than oneself will be locked into time and space;

As the controller of time, Xing herself will never be dragged into her own abilities...

This is common sense that Xingzi is aware of, and it is also an indisputable fact from past practice.

But... why is the feeling of being controlled by the law of time, the feeling of having those golden light curtains creep up my body inch by inch, letting them solidify my flesh and mind, so familiar? ? !

If that dream was still real, and if I didn't use my abilities driven by instinct when another realm opened up, would I also be swallowed by the light curtain and become one of these "statues"?

By the way, did I activate my abilities in my dream to respond to the sense of crisis?

The memory is frozen on a path surrounded by vegetation, where young girls walked side by side in a row, following the planned route, on their way to visit the Valkyrie training ground...

And then, what happened?

As Xing thought deeply, the vague dream images became chaotic again. But this time, Xing did not let the chaos disrupt her thoughts.

Hold on... No matter how confusing these images are, the truth must be mixed in...

As the girl continued to explore, the dream scene suddenly split in the middle!

That's right, separation, like two films stacked together, are gently torn apart and divided into the two parts they should be.

Scene One...I was standing in a world surrounded by a light curtain, looking at my companions around me blankly like I am now.

Act 2...The golden curtain of light never unfolded from beginning to end, but I seemed to have sensed something. I hurriedly said goodbye to the girls who were traveling with me and quickly went to the research department.

What did I notice?...

Xing turned around again and looked at the blurry scientific research building complex in the distance, her eyes once again frozen by the chill.

(Einstein, Seele, Bronya...)

The ending of their dream appeared extremely clearly in Xing's mind.

The answer is obvious, isn't it?

If I were not sick, I would go sightseeing and play with my friends just like in the dream, and at this time I would feel a fleeting sense of "crisis".

This is enough to verify the relationship between dreams and reality.

And more...

The two overlapping parts of the dream correspond to the two choices I made. If I activate the time domain in response to the sense of crisis, I will act normally in the frozen time, just like activating my abilities normally; but if I suppress my instincts at the moment of the sense of crisis and let the crisis happen...

732 Discover the Truth >>

They will be solidified by another law of time like ordinary people, and after the time stop is lifted, they will sense the energy source of another law.

In other words, if both parties who control the laws of time activate their abilities at the same time, they can both keep moving in a time stop; and if only one party does not activate their abilities, they can sense the position of the other party.

The moment this inference was generated, Xing extracted it from the concept of "fantasy" and carefully placed it in the memory space of "knowledge"...

Although the essence of these dreams remains a mystery, these dreams, which reflect the real future, have firmly grasped the girl's soul.

Whether it was the ability to predict the future or something else, I had to start taking action...

The meteorite that sank the entire base to the bottom of the sea, the chaotic cracks that kept expanding and swallowing up space, the biting frost that snatched away loved ones...these dream scenes are still so real in my mind, so real and scary.

If nothing is done, these images will soon become reality and can never be changed.

Yes, no one can change what has happened. Although the river may be temporarily frozen by the severe winter cold, the water will never flow backwards! This is the "reason" of the world, a rule that cannot be changed by external forces...

Xing's relaxed palm was clenched again by her. The coldness brought by the premonition dream was engraved into the blood, and then flowed through the body, gradually arousing the girl's desire to fight.

This must not be allowed to happen!

Even if you have to face the source of your fear, you have to stop what's going on...

The enemy who also masters the laws of time has all the abilities needed to crush him.

Are you scared...

of course.

Xing didn't hate this nagging fear. Fear is the human instinct for self-protection. People who are afraid know how to think, know how to weigh their true level in the face of difficulties, and carefully avoid danger and find the most practical way to break the situation.

As long as Xing is not completely overwhelmed by this fear, these emotions will become her food, allowing her to face her nightmares more cautiously, rather than being like a fearless fool, with nothing but courage, and rashly challenging an opponent who is much stronger than herself...

Xing knew very well that she had no chance of winning in a direct battle. Moreover, she was still "sick" and her fighting ability was even lower than in the dream.

So, how to do it?

Xing thought and looked around the ancient golden space, his mind working at high speed.

and many more......

The scene in my mind returned to the dream again.

Xing vaguely remembered that in the last dream, when Bronya was swallowed by darkness, the invader who played with time seemed to have died?!

Yes, her death was extremely tragic. Her entire head, neck, and chest were split in half from the middle. Moreover, the huge wound was exactly the same as Xier's sickle...

Since that guy possessed invincible time abilities, why was he killed in one blow by Xier who was locked in time and space?

Although the opponent's fighting ability is superior to hers, if she puts aside the advantage of her time-stopping ability and engages in a head-on confrontation, I'm afraid the little black cat that just ran away would be beaten to a pulp by her, let alone Xier, who is among the top in strength?

Therefore, as long as that guy had investigated the Far East branch's combat power, he would definitely not dare to rashly remove his ability in front of Seele and Bronya. Therefore, it is only possible that Seele has acquired the ability to move in the time-space lock through some method.

But Seele has no time laws, so why can she move in a time stop?

"..."

Xing bent down, picked up a piece of broken glass from the ground, and held it between her fingers.

Xing can move in the realm of time stop because she can slightly interfere with these golden light curtains and unlock the small space around her. Because the air around her resumes flowing, she can move normally instead of being squeezed in the solid air. Similarly, after unlocking the time and space lock of the pointer blade, she can use the sharp blade to cut the enemy's throat in the time stop, instead of cutting on the condensed space barrier and not being able to hurt the opponent at all...

If there is some way to expand the range of elimination of space-time lock to a size large enough to accommodate another person, then the person whose body has been expelled from the time energy can also gain the ability to move in time stop?

Unlike his own pointer sword, the long spikes constructed by that person contained extremely strong law energy. These energies could cause greater damage to the environment, but at the same time, those powerful energies would also release more space-time light curtains.

If this was the reason that allowed Xier to seize the opportunity to kill the enemy, then if I could gather enough space-time energy...

Xing looked at her hands. In the past, she would be exhausted and out of breath if she stopped for a few seconds, and would never make such a futile attempt.

But now, the power of her holy marks has been unprecedentedly strengthened, coupled with the blessing of the fusion of the two powers of the law, it doesn't seem to be difficult for her to burst out with energy intensity several times the usual level.

If I could use this method to wake up another person locked in time and space...

Xing's gaze shifted towards the French windows of the tavern.

The silver-haired girl still stood there, facing the hole in the window, unaware that the girl who had just looked at her and talked to her had walked out of the door and came to her side.

Kiana Kaslana.

Although she only has the title of A-class Valkyrie, she has a true Honkai biological physique and unparalleled Honkai energy control. It is rumored that her strength is enough to be on par with several Herrschers of Saint Freya...

When the opponent loses his ability advantage, Kiana should be able to win easily like crushing a pest, right?

If only that theory could be realized...

Xing exhaled lightly and walked towards the silver-haired girl a few meters away. She wanted to try to see if she could eliminate the influence of the time blockade on Kiana by infusing her maximum output of law energy into her.

With this thought in mind, Xing gently raised her hand.

However, just when her fingers came within two meters of Kiana...

As if something had been triggered, the dark golden light curtain of law quickly disappeared from the silver-haired girl's body! Then, Kiana's figure shook slightly, as if she was about to turn around and leave. But when she saw the golden world in front of her, the smile in her eyes disappeared instantly.

"Um?!"

The next moment, the silver-haired girl turned her head sharply, and her sharp blue eyes met Xing's eyes full of astonishment.

Although Xing's goal was to get Kiana back to action, the scene that just happened was a far cry from her original guess...

(How is it possible! She... just resumed her actions?)

733 "Second" Confrontation

Kiana had never seen anything like it.

The world bathed in the midsummer sunshine was suddenly covered by a layer of golden twilight, turning everything in sight into a virtual image like an old photo.

Everything stopped, everyone stood still, as if she had been isolated from the entire golden world...

Although this sudden situation was beyond her cognition, Kiana still quickly noticed Xing beside her. Looking at this girl who disappeared from her seat in the tavern and appeared next to her in an instant, and seeing that she was also not frozen in the golden ocean, Kiana's mind suddenly emerged

Information about Izuku's special abilities.

Xing Maer, a participant in the Anti-Entropy X-10 experiment, has the ability to use special Honkai energy... to interfere with time?!

Thinking of this, the world in front of her, solidified by the golden light curtain, was immediately connected with the concept of "time stop" in Kiana's mind.

Yes, these golden energies like sand and dust carry with them the power of familiar laws...

Although the situation is still unclear, this should be the special ability that Xing used. But why would this girl release a dangerous special ability at this time?
