K424 of the Collapse World

Isn't the ending already predetermined?

The silver-haired girl's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, grasping the starlight, and vigorously waved away the phantom in front of her...

(If you still lose to the Herrscher of Time, I won’t forgive you...)

“Guga… Ughh ...

In the early morning, in the still quiet Valkyrie dormitory, bursts of painful gasps were heard.

The pink-haired girl knelt on the ground, her petite body twitching continuously. On her body, strange dark purple lines continued to spread, crawling from her neck to her limbs and spreading to her head, allowing the corrosive energy to penetrate every inch of her skin.

“Huha…Huha…”

As the painful gasps gradually became lighter, the girl loosened her hands that were tightly holding her head. Her sweat-soaked hair hung in front of her forehead. Sweat and blood mixed together and slid down her face, blocking her right eye that was emitting a faint golden glow.

Within half an hour of injecting liquid Houkai energy into her neck, purple lines spread along the surface of her skin and had eroded her entire body below her neck, but finally stopped on the outside of her cheek.

"call......"

Xing breathed softly and a smile appeared on her pale little face.

"Haha... isn't this... simple? Phew... compared to the Herrscher personality, defeating this level of Honkai Will shouldn't be a piece of cake?"

The girl straightened up from her kneeling position and stood up, her movements so strange and stiff that she looked like a puppet.

However, she did get rid of her weak state and stood up steadily...

As early as when they were in the orphanage, Cocolia taught these children the skills to control the Honkai, and Xing was used as a test.

As a top student, when her whole body is filled with Honkai energy, she can manipulate this Honkai energy and control her body like a puppet.

Feeling the power of Honkai filling her body, Xing smiled with satisfaction, but her chest was already rising and falling slightly, and she was breathing with some effort. In this state, she had to concentrate on suppressing the terrifying energy in her body that was like a runaway horse while maintaining control.

However, compared to that dead, dark world, this is nothing...

741Hope in the palm of your hand>>

Xing wiped away the blood and tears oozing from her left eye. The blind silver left eye had turned into a dark purple hollow under the branch-like crack. Through this left eye stained with disintegration, she seemed to be able to see a blood-red, ruined world.

These scenes were not unfamiliar to Xing. In her childhood vision, these images full of distorted illusions accompanied her for at least three years.

As her blind left eye regained sight, the hallucinations she had experienced came back. Xing didn't pay much attention to this, but took out a high-necked long-sleeved shirt from the closet to cover the dark purple lines under her face.

The whole body is full of lines of collapse and erosion. In the common sense of the Valkyrie, this is a sign of becoming a dead soldier. If it is seen by someone unrelated, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble...

For this reason, Xing covered her body tightly with trousers and gloves, revealing only her signature purple-pink hair and a small half of her face.

After pouring the remaining four bottles of Houkai solution into the syringe, Xing put the syringe into the equipment bag on his belt, replaced the battery of the super-electromagnetic hand cannon, and walked out of his room.

"So where do I start?"

The girl gently closed her eyes and began to review the scenes in her memories.

Under the control of an absolutely clear consciousness, she would never confuse the boundary between fantasy and reality. For her, whether it was those images full of déjà vu or those cognitive impressions that appeared out of thin air, they were all important sources of intelligence.

First of all, she had to pass the morning physical examination. Not to mention that her body, which had reached a critical point of corrosion rate, would be isolated as a half-dead patient if she entered the medical department and triggered the Honkai alarm. Xing remembered that in the hundreds of reincarnations of the Herrscher of Time, she was in a weak state of secondary replay and did not get up in the morning. She slept until after noon. In other words, if she appeared in a public place in the morning, it might alert the other party...

Until you are absolutely sure, it is best not to alarm your opponent who thinks he has the chance of winning.

To take action in the morning, you must hurry up to find the right method and pay attention to the use of your abilities. After all, when either of the two time controllers activates their abilities, the other will feel it.

Xing stood in the empty corridor, watching the gradually rising sun dispel the morning mist and spread its light all over the earth...

The Herrscher of Time's chances of victory are all based on the experience gained from multiple reincarnations. She was able to contain Kiana in the confrontation and successfully plot against Shiris, all after hundreds of failures. She figured out all the rules of her own actions like a game copy, and made targeted strategies...

Normally, as long as Xing made a completely different move from before, she could disrupt the plan of the Herrscher of Time. However, facing the enemy who had reincarnated hundreds of times, Xing didn't think that she could defeat the opponent with just a little cleverness. No one could guarantee whether the Herrscher of Time had formulated other tactics.

She needed a solid strategy to gradually drive that guy to his death, just like she did to herself last time...

The battle will inevitably unfold in the barrier of time and space. Xing is very clear about her own strengths and weaknesses. Even if she maintains a critical state of Honkai energy, she still has little chance of winning against the Half-Lawyer head-on. In other words, she still has to rely on the power of interference from the laws and seek other external assistance.

The other side has made countermeasures for both Shirley and Kiana, and they can't be pushed into danger again. So who should I ask for help, Instructor Jizi? Principal Theresa? Captain Houraiji? Or that barbecue uncle...

"No...No."

As a certain realization suddenly flashed through her mind, Xing overturned the plan in her mind without hesitation.

"One must be a Herrscher who has perfectly mastered the power of the law, or a Honkai creature who has a deep understanding of the energy of the law, to obtain interference force in the law of time stop, and contact the space-time lock within a certain distance of the medium. The distance to obtain interference depends on the clarity of one's understanding of the law..."

She whispered the knowledge that came to her mind, and her mind was working at a very fast speed. Although it was still morning, in the ever-changing cycle, missing any second could ruin the chance of defeating the opponent.

"That's right... Sister Shilis's perception range is five meters, and Sister Kiana's is only two meters. This is still based on the law of cognition, so those

Most people can’t do that.”

Xing shook her head gently and paced back and forth in the corridor, anxiety written all over her face.

"A Herrscher who masters the laws... Bronya? No, she said that her abilities are not yet mature, and she certainly doesn't understand the most profound power of the laws. Similarly, the two new Herrschers, Diana and Raiden Mei, are probably not good enough either. Even if they really understand a little bit of the laws, the Herrscher of Time may be wary of them."

What a trouble... Sister Shiris's Far East Branch looks powerful, but there are only a handful of people who can fight against the Herrscher of Time...

Eh? Wait!!

Thinking of this, Xing suddenly remembered something, and her gaze turned directly to the glass window in the corridor, looking at the tallest building of the Far East Branch.

If those perceptions that appeared out of nowhere are correct...

The girl narrowed her golden eyes slightly.

Yes, there is another way...

Aside from the companions in the Far East Branch, aren't there other targets that can be used?

742 The Disaster of the Mercenary Lady

Destiny Far East Branch, 7:49am

In the safe period without special circumstances, the Valkyries who would appear in other places outside the training ground in the early morning were mostly wandering around to relax, looking for a chance to relax in the tight and strict military life...

Although Saint Freya adopted a free academy system, the official Valkyrie troops at the branch base were no less lax than branches in other regions. For these busy regular Valkyries, it was better to simply take a walk or sleep than to do all those entertainment activities during the holidays.

Da da da--

At this moment, with a burst of hurried footsteps appearing on the cobblestone road in the commercial district, a purple-haired girl in combat uniform hurriedly crossed the street and ran quickly forward.

Many Valkyries looked sideways at the slightly short purple-haired girl. On the path where everyone was strolling leisurely, a figure suddenly appeared in a hurry, which inevitably attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey, that kid is...?"

"It seems like they just moved in from the college..."

"The new life of Saint Freya?"

"It's a shame that something like that happened in the academy..."

"..."

Passing by people along the way, the Far East members who noticed Xing were just pointing and chatting. In their opinion, the Valkyrie students who were still studying were from two different worlds than official team members like them. No one would care where a child was running to or why she was in such a hurry.

It's impossible that they are going to hunt Herrscher somewhere, right? Relying on children to save the world or something like that, that kind of plot only appears in fantasy works...

The purple-haired figure quickly disappeared at the cross corner in the distance. People's topics quickly shifted and their impression of the girl quickly faded. No one would try to remember an irrelevant person.

Even if they may be future colleagues, they are just passers-by after all...

However, just like the carelessness of these Valkyries, the girl also ignored everyone along the way. In Xing's eyes, these Valkyries were also people from another world. After all, in a world where time and space were stagnant, they would only be meaningless background.

Yes, they knew nothing. No matter the conspiracy being woven or the disaster that was about to come, for them, this morning would always be so ordinary and peaceful.

As for what would happen in the afternoon, Xing herself couldn't tell.

Anyway, she has only one goal...

Outside the temporary shelter of the Far East Branch Supervisory Department, a black-haired girl stood at the gate in a daze, staring blankly at the morning glow in the distance.

Not long ago, Asakura Miyuki signed the liability bail document provided by the Inspection Department. With the guarantee of Shiris, she was temporarily exempted from the crimes she committed in that war and regained her freedom.

After spending two weeks in the shelter, the girl finally saw the long-lost sunshine, but she seemed a little depressed.

The pointed ears that originally stood on the top of the head now drooped down like a Scottish Fold cat, and the tail also bent down listlessly...

At this moment, not far behind Asakura Miyuki, a figure hidden in the shadows was peering at the dazed cat-eared girl, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes...

Raven was wondering whether or not to try and talk to the girl.

After "voluntarily" signing the mercenary contract, she, as one of the main members of World Serpent, "voluntarily" stayed at the base of the Far East Branch and was on standby as a mercenary.

Just like her previous attire, she always wore the black crow feather cloak, and as if she didn't mind the heat, she put the hood on her head, covering her whole body tightly.

Unfortunately, this kind of clothes suitable for night action will only make her more conspicuous during the day...

..

Although she followed Shirley's arrangement and joined the Far East Branch through formal channels, Raven had other plans. As a secret agent, one of her goals must be to obtain intelligence.

Relying on her current official identity, Raven can come into contact with other Valkyries at will. For her, one of the main sources of intelligence about an organization is the members of that organization.

As for the black-haired girl from the Supervisory Department, since she has access to the highest level of management, no matter what her specific position is, her status in the Far East Branch will definitely not be too low.

Judging from her cospiay-style cat-like outfit, she must be a Valkyrie with a lively personality, right? Girls like this are usually not too tight-lipped, making them the most suitable targets...

That’s decided then.

After thinking for a moment about the words to start a conversation, Raven was about to leave the corner where he was hiding and walk towards Asakura Miyuki who was standing there in a daze.

But at this moment, the sound of footsteps approaching from behind made her pause...

It was normal to see people in the passageways of public places, but Raven heard clearly that the other person was walking straight towards him.

Being in a dangerous place, Raven always kept a high level of vigilance. The moment she realized someone was approaching from behind, she was instantly prepared to deal with the danger and immediately turned around.

Then, Raven saw a girl in a high-necked shirt walking towards her with a kind smile.

"Hello, big sister~"

Under Raven's slightly surprised gaze, the short girl stopped lightly in front of her and greeted her politely.

The girl had short pink and purple hair that reached her shoulders. Her side bangs covered her left eye, and the pupil of her right eye that was exposed was a bright golden color.

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

Looking at the girl wearing the Saint Freya school badge, Raven took a step back in doubt. Although it was their first meeting, she always felt as if she had some impression of this girl, but suddenly she couldn't remember it.

But it doesn't matter. The fact that she came directly in front of me at least shows that she has no direct hostility towards me...

"My name is Xing Maer, a first-year rookie Valkyrie at St. Freya's Academy."

Seeing the question on Raven's face, the girl generously gave her name, then pinched the wide hem of her clothes and performed an elegant aristocratic curtsy.

Apricot Mal?

Raven frowned slightly. Not only the appearance, but also the name seemed to have some impression... It seemed that he was a member of an organization cooperating with the World Serpent, and had some relationship with the Anti-Entropy Organization. However, it didn't seem to be anything important.

"So, little girl, what do you want from me?"

As Raven was thinking, he forced a smile, looked at the familiar girl, and spoke up.

"Um... Xing is in a bit of trouble, can you help her, big sister?"

The girl's delicate little face was unusually well-behaved. As she spoke, she carefully approached the raven, with a gleam of hope in her golden eyes.

Q group: 3 "Oh~? What's going on?"

Faced with this girl whose height was less than her chest, Raven lowered her guard a little and allowed Xing to slowly approach her.

742 The Disaster of the Mercenary Lady>>

Not to mention that this is just an underage girl. Even if she is really a special agent Valkyrie with a special appearance, with Raven's current identity as a contracted mercenary, the members of the Far East Branch have no reason to attack her...

Seeing the helpless girl slightly reaching out her hand, as if trying to pull up her cloak, Raven's previous fake smile couldn't help but become gentle.

What a cute little girl~

Raven suddenly thought that after he retired from the World Serpent and returned to the uninhabited island he had purchased, he could consider adopting a few children...

When Xing finally approached Raven, the well-behaved girl narrowed her golden eyes slightly, and a hint of teasing appeared in her quiet and virtuous expression.

"Xing... wants to borrow something from Natasha~"

"Um......?!"

Just as Raven was about to respond, his smiling expression suddenly froze.

How did she know her real name??!

Could it be that......

Raven lowered her head in astonishment, but from this angle, she could just see the purple lines on the girl's neckline...
