K424 of the Collapse World

"Attention, life response detected in area E-402!"

"A survivor?"

"Then hurry up and find something to dig this place up! Although Valkyries are stronger than ordinary people, if they are buried for too long, someone will still die!"

"By the way, what about the Anti-Entropy Titans? Aren't they responsible for the excavation work?"

"On the way, on the way..."

"What are you guys from Anti-Entropy doing? Weren't you just carrying out a mission together? Wait, why don't you dig it yourself? Do you have to ask someone else to do it?"

"This... little girl, my M04 Sidewinder is a support mecha, it doesn't have a mechanical arm for close-range control!"

"Then the machine is more efficient than digging by hand, right?"

"That's right, I saw with my own eyes that the Thunder Mecha crushed a chariot!"

"..."

"Tsk! What a bunch of annoying little women..."

"..."

In the surrounding areas of the battlefield ruins, the joint search and rescue team of Anti-Entropy and Destiny has resumed work and continues to deal with the follow-up work of this battlefield.

However, the efficiency of cooperation between the members of the two organizations is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory...

Due to the long-term hostility and huge differences in ideology, as well as the different habits of handling events, some young Valkyries of Destiny and Anti-Entropy pilots rarely have normal and calm communication with each other.

However, because the two organizations formed an alliance, the victims included members of Anti-Entropy and Destiny. Therefore, no matter how discordant they seemed on the surface, their interests and goals were common.

Moreover, their cooperation was not all about quarrels and arguments...

"Hey! Those guys from team C13!"

A deafening childish voice suddenly rang out in the channel, drowning out all other sounds.

Theresa stood on the shoulder cannon of the Flame Prison Patrol Mech, holding a huge purple cross in one hand, glaring at the joint rescue team below.

"What are you guys arguing about in the team channel? Do you want to be crushed by Judas?!"

"..."

"..."

Both sides were silent at the same time. No one, whether it was the Anti-Entropy Driver or the Valkyrie, dared to offend the principal at this time.

"What's so good about this? Get back to work!"

After saying that, the silver-haired girl seemed to be still not satisfied, and slammed the cross on the back armor of the Flame Prison Patrol, making a loud sound of metal collision! The trembling sound waves almost covered the entire ruins, and even the pilot with the protection of the mecha could feel his heart tremble suddenly, as if he was hit on the head by a heavy object...

In this way, the follow-up processing of the battle continued, and the dispute that affected efficiency was easily resolved...

"I say, Miss Theresa."

"Um......?"

Suddenly, she heard a pop-up communication sound. Theresa subconsciously turned her head and saw a red-haired girl with a gloomy face.

"You are teaching your students a lesson, why are you destroying my mecha?"

"Ah this..."

Qqun: 54三659389 "You almost ruined my ears!"

Tesla shook his head slightly, his red ponytails swung slightly, and his blurred eyes seemed to have not fully recovered from the dizziness. But soon, when the girl woke up, Theresa could see what the most irritable scientist of the last century looked like.

"T-This was an accident, Dr. Tesla... I didn't mean to... Ouch!"

But before she could finish her words, the Hell Patrolman shook her off and stepped on her...

Anyone who saw this scene couldn't help but laugh out loud. Of course, having witnessed what happened before, not a single sound was emitted from their communication channels.

In the central area of ​​the branch where the damage was huge, this was just a small episode of happiness in misery. After all, this sudden disaster was indeed a big blow to the Far East Branch.

Tesla was still chasing Theresa angrily, but her mind had already drifted towards the flagship of the branch airport, the direction where the girl left.

So many things happened in the past few dozen minutes.

771 Concern>>

When the silver-haired girl was suddenly attacked by the Herrscher of Time and locked in the light cocoon, she thought she would never see that girl again...

Once upon a time, she had fought side by side with Shiris. But now, on the battlefield of the Herrschers, Tesla, as a technology worker, could only support the girl's battle through logistics, and could not help the girl in the frontal battlefield. Even if he drove a mecha to forcibly join the battle between the Herrschers, he would become a small fish killed by an unknown aoe.

Even though she calls herself a genius, she is currently unable to create a machine that can fight against the Herrscher...

She stared at it with the mecha's detector, and when she saw Shilis leave the light cocoon and return to her larvae, Tesla instantly recalled all the good memories she had. However, before she could completely relax, what happened next made her heart tighten again.

Kevin suddenly came back and confronted the Far East's troops again. During the confrontation with Shiris, the Destiny fleet intervened and turned the situation into a three-way confrontation.

Afterwards, Otto invited the two to go to the meeting hall of the Glorious Covenant for a chat.

On one side is Otto, the Bishop of Destiny, and on the other side is Kevin, the Lord of the World Serpent, and Shiris... Although she is nominally a member of Anti-Entropy, she cannot represent the entire Anti-Entropy organization!

The three organizations met for the first time under such special circumstances. The representative of Anti-Entropy should have been Walter, but now...

Not long ago, when the Far East Branch was invaded, the Anti-Entropy ME Society stationed in Changkong City also received the combat information at the same time. But Tesla did not expect

What's surprising is that Walter actually agreed to let Hillis take over his duties as ally? !

No one denied that Shirley was the leader of the Far East Alliance. However, did he want to let Shirley handle all the decisions regarding the entire anti-entropy?

Could it be that he really wanted to choose Shirley as his successor?

That idiot...does he want others to become idiots like him?

Thinking of this, the image of the young man with short indigo hair flashed through Tesla's mind, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

wrong......

It's not some cursed inheritance. They were probably all the same fools from the beginning, right? And because of this, these fools who don't value life are attracted to each other, right?

At some point, the red-haired girl's hand left the joystick and her eyes turned to the airport in the distance. At this time, Theresa, who was being chased, had already raised Judas with both hands, ready to withstand the impact, but she did not receive the next blow from Tesla...

She moved the cross away and saw the huge Flame Prison Patrol Mech with its fist raised high, but it had stopped moving.

Will she be okay?

"Come to think of it, this is already our third official meeting, right?"

In the elevator on the ship of the Glorious Covenant, the shadow of the blond man took a step forward and came in front of the expressionless silver-haired girl.

"You don't have to be so reserved, Miss Hillis. I apologize for my poor hospitality before. Could you give me a chance to make up for it next time?"

As he spoke, he raised his projected hand and stretched it towards Shirley's forehead, as if he wanted to ruffle the girl's silver hair like he did to Theresa.

But before that, the invisible field had quietly expanded outwards, and when the man's finger was within five centimeters of the girl's forehead, the part that crossed the line instantly turned into nothingness, and then the structure itself collapsed!

As a whole, the photon phantom will disintegrate in an instant if even a small part of it comes into contact with the constraint law.

In fact, even if Shiris didn't do this, the shadow image of Otto's incarnation couldn't touch the real substance. However, being unable to be interfered with didn't mean that the girl would happily accept the other party's behavior.

"In that case, then put away your pretentious expression."

The silver-haired girl withdrew her zero-distance domain and left these words. Then, she watched Otto's body reshape itself in front of her and sneered again.

"We all know each other's character. There's no need to play these tricks again, right? Even if you want to test each other, you should start with your new friend over there."

As she spoke, the girl looked to the front and side, looking at the white-haired man who was also riding in the elevator, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

"By the way, Mr. Popsicle, as a guest, aren't you going to say hello to the host here?"

"..."

Kevin ignored the girl's obvious questioning. He had already seen through the intentions of the Bishop of Heaven's Fate. In this negotiation whose content had already been determined, any extra dialogue would be nothing more than a waste of time.

For him, it didn't matter what occasion this conversation took place. Satisfying the sense of ceremony pursued by the Master of Destiny and going to the other party's so-called meeting room was already a huge concession made by Kevin.

"Hehe...it seems that our young lady is not in a good mood~ But it doesn't matter. Compared with these trivial ways of entertaining, the only thing that is more worthy of your attention is the business, right?"

After saying that, the mimicking shadow disappeared immediately. The next moment, as the elevator door slowly opened, a court-like conference hall suddenly came into view. The simple wooden structure and artistic design were incompatible with the extreme sense of technology brought by this battleship.

"Kevin Kaslana, and Silis Kaslana..."

Right in front of the main podium of the parliament, a blond man who looked exactly like the shadow just now slowly stood up and performed an ancient aristocratic salute with exaggerated movements.

"The current Bishop of Heaven's Mandate, Otto Apokalis, pays respect to both of you!"

772 Third Choice

Seeing the blond man in the magnificent hall, Shirley's eyes flickered slightly and then returned to normal.

She was indeed a little surprised, but more of it was confusion.

The Glorious Covenant is not a sightseeing boat. Wasting the limited internal space of the warship to build a flashy hall is such a boring behavior that only a very small number of people with bad tastes can do it, right?

Of course, the battleship didn't belong to her anyway, so there was no need for her to feel sorry about it.

There was no time to think too much, as Otto's voice came again.

"Then please take a seat first."

Hearing this, Shirley glanced at him expressionlessly, then ignored Otto's impassioned speech, stood up, walked around to the other side, and sat down without any hesitation.

Kevin did not comment on this. He slowly walked across the aisle to the other side and sat down opposite Shirley.

However, the indifference of the two participants did not affect

A polite smile on Otto's face.

"Ha... The first meeting of the three anti-Honkai organizations should have been more grand, but it happened so suddenly that we didn't have time to prepare carefully. What a pity."

It was still a formal opening speech, and Otto's voice echoed in the empty hall. However, apart from the three of them, there was no one else in this huge auditorium.

As long as she slightly spread the fluctuations of her perception, Shirley could sense that the walls of the hall were made of sound-proof materials, and the surface was coated with a layer of unknown metal with sound-absorbing effects. There was also some kind of interference radio wave transmission equipment inside the thick walls...

Obviously, for some reason, Otto did not want to make this conversation public. And for his approach, Shirley agreed, because for some deep reasons, she did not want other people in the Far East Branch to know the final steps of the transfer plan.

Otto's purpose was not difficult to guess. With the spies he had set up in various departments of the Mandate of Heaven, they must have witnessed the entire process of the Herrscher of Time's advent. Not to mention Otto, even Shiris herself, when she first felt the power of the Herrscher of Time, she also felt a shock from the soul.

Having witnessed the power of laws that he had never understood before, any researcher of Honkai would probably be unable to control his strong desire for knowledge and want to explore the mystery of the law of time... let alone Otto, who has been trapped by obsession for a long time.

Otto's motive was so clear that even Hillis could guess it instantly, and Kevin could naturally see what he was plotting. In this case, the leader of the World Serpent agreed to Otto's invitation for a meeting. Does it mean that he also wants to trade something with Tianming?

Looking at the white-haired man with an unchanged expression, Shirley's heart trembled again.

In fact, all of this is closely related to the Herrscher of Time, that is, Xing. Combined with the fact that she is a member of the World Serpent, this also gives rise to another possibility: Kevin agreed to talk with Otto because of Xing's opinion...

The girl remained calm on the surface, but a huge wave of emotions was already rising in her heart. As for Xing, she had no idea how she should face that girl. She joined the World Serpent on her own initiative and wanted to pull herself in as well, using the Stigmata Plan to replace the Far East Alliance's transfer plan.

But, all that Xing did was because of Shiris herself...

But then again, since Otto intended to trade with the World Serpent where the Ruler of Time was, why did he bring Anti-Entropy into the mix?

After all, if Destiny and World Serpent successfully concluded an alliance, then Otto could completely break the contract with Anti-Entropy. There were only three anti-Honkai organizations in the world: Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent. Therefore, an agreement was not absolutely binding.

Did Otto want to leave himself a way out and not put all his eggs in one basket? Or was it because of Xing that he chose to represent Anti-Entropy instead of going to Walter, the leader of the alliance...?

Thinking of this, Shirley's eyes darkened slightly, and she slowly clenched her fists hidden under the table. When she subconsciously looked at Otto who was sitting at the main seat, she found that he also turned his eyes to her.

"Ms. Shilis, as the first person to experience the power of the Law of Time, can you tell me how you feel now?"

Hearing Otto's words, Shilis immediately dismissed all the thoughts in her mind and showed a look of 'as expected'.

"Feeling... well, I feel like you've grown taller."

"Haha... Nice sense of humor, but Ms. Shilis, the fact is undoubtedly that you were interfered with by the Herrscher of Time in the relative time state, and your body was reset to the state a few years ago without losing your memory!"

Listening to Otto's passionate voice, Shirley raised her eyebrows meaningfully.

"So... you're interested in the Herrscher of Time?"

"Of course! The power of time is completely different from the previous Houkai energy. This is the power of the law that is truly enough to interfere with "cause and effect"! Believe me, no one can remain calm after witnessing such a miracle. "

Otto made no secret of his purpose, and his tone was full of strong emotion. Only at this moment did Shirley have no doubt that the man's excitement was fake.

772 Third Choice >>

"Unlike the elemental energy of the previous Herrschers, time is a law concept that was truly born from the invisible. People in ancient times did not have words to measure the length of events or phenomena. They could only observe the alternation of day and night and form a habit of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. It was not until they discovered certain laws of change from observing natural phenomena that the concept of 'time' gradually evolved and became one of the concepts we are most familiar with."

Not caring whether the two people around him were listening or not, Otto continued talking to himself as if he was expressing his feelings.

"Then the first question is, is the 'law of time' displayed by the energy of the Herrscher of Time a parameter concept created by humans themselves to describe the movement of matter during the development of civilization, or is it a completely unknown mysterious energy from the outside world? Mr. Kevin,

"Sir, as far as I know, your civilization only made twelve keys of God at the end. Now, the Ruler of Time has been owned by the World Serpent. May I ask if you have checked the laws of time?"

"not yet."
