K424 of the Collapse World

"Huh~ Looks like nothing's wrong, it's just that the Herrscher's energy has been depleted a bit, almost reaching the critical point..."

"..."

"It's a bit dangerous. If we, as Herrschers who have cut off the connection with the Honkai Will, exhaust our Herrscher Energy and overdraw it, we will rebuild the connection with the Honkai Will. That would be a bit dangerous."

Ignoring Diana's strange silence, Silis gently stroked her long hair, her concerned eyes were warm. But for some reason, this smile always made Diana feel like a little bit of scrutiny from a superior...

"Hmm... Even if you become smaller, you are still a qualified elder sister~ Miss Shiris."

784 Abnormal >>

At this time, Charlotte's snort came from the side. The girl had put away the longbow of the throne of the gods and came over, covering her injured right hand.

"Miss Diana is indeed fine, but I, the one who is in trouble, have been glamorously ignored by you, my dear Miss Hillis."

The red-haired girl said this with her lips pouted deliberately, and her attitude towards Shirley was still the same as before, with a nonchalant and casual attitude without any awe. Although she was also a little surprised at Shirley's strength, she did not seem to feel as weird as Diana.

However, the silver-haired girl was slightly stunned by her words, and confusion flashed across her eyes. This state lasted for less than a second, and she reacted and held Charlotte's outstretched left hand as if nothing had happened.

"Sorry, I seemed to be distracted just now, and only noticed Diana..."

"Hey, you're daydreaming right after entering the battlefield? Is your mental state really okay?"

Charlotte complained somewhat helplessly, but quickly put the matter behind her and gently lifted up her blood-stained armor sleeve, revealing the torn scar.

"Well, although the injury is not serious, it still hurts... Shirley, is there any way to help me heal it?"

If she had not waited for support just now, Charlotte would have chosen to conceal her injuries and continue fighting. But now, the two powerful quantum monsters have been killed by Shirley, so she naturally has no worries and exposes her wounds in front of Shirley.

"Hmm...? This kind of wound should be the imaginary turbulence of quantum creatures. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary cut, but in fact, the energy of imaginary erosion has already settled into the wound, constantly corroding the flesh and blood..."

After observing Charlotte's injuries, Silis raised her hand while speaking, and some pure golden photon particles separated from the purple-gold chaotic energy group and flew to the location of Charlotte's wound. Then, the golden energy turned into pure white, and the energy simulated the energy of creation, instantly repairing the wound without leaving any trace.

Diana looked at the silver-haired girl silently without saying a word.

Except for some extremely minor details, Shirley's behavior was no different from usual. Looking at that comfortable and gentle smile, it seemed as if the strange feeling just now was just her illusion.

Of course, Diana also hoped that it was just an illusion...

"Ok?"

As the slight nasal sound sounded, Shirley's eyes suddenly turned to the sea below her feet. Then, the same whirlpool as before gradually took shape, reflecting several terrifying black shadows below on the water.

"It seems that this Honkai disaster may be even larger than we predicted."

Looking calmly at the large number of Honkai creatures that gradually appeared, Shiris looked at the two girls who were preparing to fight again and shook her head slightly.

"Don't be nervous. Someone will take care of the subsequent cleanup work for us."

As soon as the voice fell, the sunlight that was spreading over the sea suddenly disappeared, covering the sea surface with a layer of shadow that blocked out the sun. At this moment, countless floating warships had filled the airspace above, completely covering the sun above...

"Let's go, our mission is over. Diana, take Yaezakura and Charlotte and teleport to the 4km distance in the direction of the terminal target, or follow me into Hyperion's command center and return to the base together."

While the two girls were looking at each other, Shirley had already taken the lead, leaving a brilliant comet tail in the air, rushing to the other side of the sky, and boarding the deck of the Hyperion.

The Hyperion, which was originally used as a support, temporarily joined the headquarters' battleship formation and attacked together with the Immortal Blade's fleet...

Rumble——! !

The next moment, dense artillery fire poured down from the fleet, instantly turning this place into a sea of ​​fire that stretched for thousands of miles...

785 Imperceptible Change

In the end, the sudden collapse in the Far East Sea was completely suppressed by the fleet of Destiny.

Super high-level quantum creature

, there are only the Chaos Shadow and the Sun Devouring Shadow observed in the early stage. The subsequent Honkai only includes the mutated pseudo-emperor-level Tide Honkai Beast, as well as several mayfly-level Honkai alien species and primary quantum creatures, such as the Trampling Shadow and the Broken Abyss Shadow, and other quantum creatures at the level of the emperor-level Honkai Beast...

Under the high-intensity firepower coverage of the main fleet, without the Chaos Shadow and the Sun Devouring Shadow, which were equivalent to the Lord, these mid- and low-level collapsed creations could not make any waves at all, and turned into ashes in the burning sea. Even those quantum monsters that relied on superposition energy as a shield could not resist the absolute qualitative change caused by the huge energy.

Faced with the particle flow that is powerful enough to annihilate space, no matter what kind of Honkai beast there is, not even a trace of debris will be left.

According to subsequent investigations by the Destiny Operations Center, the abnormal forms of Honkai beasts that appeared in this Honkai disaster were all evolved from ordinary Honkai creatures lurking in this sea area. Under the influence of certain factors, they quickly turned into large Honkai beasts close to the emperor level.

At the end of the annihilation operation of the Destiny Fleet, all the Honkai creatures in the Far East Sea were basically wiped out. Even the Honkai factors hidden under the sea were eliminated by the energy waves of the HSN generator, eliminating the possibility of any Honkai recurrence, and truly "purifying" this sea...

Of course, these are all for later.

When Shiris returned to the Far East Branch, she saw the base in ruins after the war. The destroyed buildings formed a series of ravine-like ruins, standing precariously on the chaotic island...

An hour ago, this was the commercial and administrative center of the Far East Branch, and the most prosperous service area of ​​the entire branch base. But now, before the entire base is rebuilt and repaired, the original scene can probably only be seen in the images in the database.

This kind of disaster that occurs in the city always means a large number of casualties. Even if this group of Valkyries is relatively small, in the end, that number will still appear on the file on the desk of the school principal's office.

Just numbers.

With regard to these, Shirley just glanced at them casually, then turned and flew towards the command center building in the coastal area, and stepped into the elevator leading to the top floor alone.

She had never revealed her identity in the Far East Branch, so naturally she would not be welcomed as a hero returning home. Before that, she just asked Diana and Charlotte to settle Yaezakura, and then went to deal with the remaining problems...

Such a big thing happened in the Far East Branch. As one of the core senior leaders of the branch, she has the obligation to assist Theresa and Himeko in their work at this critical moment.

Moreover, this is not the only purpose for finding Theresa and the others...

For example, find out the real reason why Xinghui became a Herrscher.

Xing is an underage student at Saint Freya's. Theresa and the academy's former mentors should know something about her details.

It seems that because her mind is getting stronger, negative emotions such as sadness and pain can no longer hold her back. However, she can feel a sense of disharmony, as if after being affected by the power of the Herrscher of Time, the changes that have taken place in her are not limited to the reduction of her body size...

When she saw Diana and Charlotte just now, she only noticed Diana, but instinctively ignored the red-haired girl standing next to her. Even after Charlotte took the initiative to speak and get her attention, it took Shiris about two seconds to remember the girl's name.

That kind of unreasonable neglect is like turning a blind eye to the familiar environment in one's own home...

785 Imperceptible Changes >>

Speaking of which, when she saw the tragic scene around the ruins and the dead and injured just now, her heart was not touched at all, she just easily accepted this fact.

Could it be that there is something wrong with my mental state again?

Regarding this speculation, Hillis could only shake her head secretly.

When the mind is clear and the emotions are normal, no one would think that they are mentally ill even if there is something wrong with the brain.

Although she had a dark history of mental disorder, Shirley didn't think she had any problems now. If she had to say it, it was probably because she hadn't gotten over the shadow of Xing's departure, right?

Thinking silently, Shirley patted her cheeks, trying to hide all the emotions on her face before the elevator reached the command center on the top floor.

That should be fine, right?

As the elevator rose rapidly, the windows of the elevator flashed before Shirley's eyes layer by layer. At this moment, Shirley suddenly noticed that in the ruins of a tower at the edge of the airport in the distance, there was a faint but accurate sense of peeping.

At a distance of dozens of kilometers, even a Valkyrie carrying observation equipment would not be able to accurately lock onto herself in the elevator, right?

Who is the peeper?!

Although it was only for a moment, Shirley was immediately on alert. However, when she saw the silver-white hair disappearing behind the stone pillar and took it into her perception range, Shirley relaxed again.

, he sighed softly and gave up the action of breaking into the elevator to find out what was going on.

Kiana...

With her perception and mental strength returning to their peak state, coupled with the revival of her old powers, it was not difficult for Shiris to capture the energy fluctuations of familiar people from a distance.

Now that he was sure it was Kiana watching him from a distance, there was no need to be on guard.

But what was she doing there? And why did she hide away when she saw me...

When we left the branch to go to the Glorious Alliance for a meeting, Kiana didn't seem to be abnormal, right?

Although she was puzzled, Shilis did not intend to check the girl's condition right now. For her, the most important thing now was the emergency affairs of the Far East Branch.

As for Kiana, I should have a chance to talk to her in detail when I get home in the evening.

The girl shook her head and began to concentrate on how to have a "normal" communication with Theresa. She didn't know that the silver-haired girl who had just hurriedly hidden behind the tower had been waiting for her for nearly an hour...

But now, even though she finally saw the person she had been waiting for for a long time, she hid herself alone, avoiding Shirley's gaze as if she were trying to cover up her crime, and carefully hid behind a narrow broken wall.

"..."

Kiana hugged her knees with her hands, curled up her body and leaned against the cracked wall, as if to isolate herself from the world behind the wall.

At this moment, she should have been the first to rush forward and hug the girl who had returned safely. But now, the desire to get close to Shilis has been overwhelmed by the greater fear...

Kiana gritted her teeth, suppressing the energy that was about to flow in her body. The door that was originally locked because of her inner rejection was once again shaken by the resonance of some kind of power! The small cracks on the surface of the sealed door also became more and more fine as they continued to crack, and the tiny energy that leaked could even be detected by the girl.

Why......?

The silver-haired girl slowly raised her head, and her beautiful starry eyes, which reflected the azure sky, gradually became covered with a layer of dark despair...

Why would the terrifying energy hidden in my body appear in Sister Shilis? !

786 Intermission

After assisting the staff in completing the information collection work, Yulandel did not stay in the Far East Branch for long and returned to the fleet base at the headquarters.

The Herrscher of Time left the battlefield, and Silis Kaslana was safe and sound. She and the Lord of the World Serpent were invited to the Glorious Covenant to negotiate with Bishop Otto. There was no doubt that the conflict, the details of which were still unclear, had ended. As for the sudden collapse disaster in the surrounding seas, part of the main fleet had been dispatched to resolve it, and it seemed that she did not need to go out in person.

After arriving at the Far East Airport which was reserved by the headquarters fleet, even though Yulandel had disarmed Yuepo's armed form and walked into the airport lobby in casual clothes, the special meaning of the name "Yulandel" still made her the focus of everyone's attention in an instant.

However, facing the gazes of admiration or love (?) from countless Valkyries, the girl named Bianca had long been accustomed to the feeling of being the center of attention. She calmly made her way through the crowd and stepped into the berth of the Satori flagship.

As soon as she walked into the front passage of the flagship elevator, the Valkyrie at the sentry station came over and saluted her.

"Lord Youlandel."

"What's the matter?"

"The Bishop is waiting for you in the conference room on the second deck of Area B. He has specifically instructed that you come to him as soon as possible when you return."

"okay, I get it."

With a simple nod in response, Yulandel walked directly to one of the elevators in front and pressed the B-2 area teleport button.

Regardless of the bishop's order, she had originally planned to report the mission to Otto. The only difference was that the place she was going to was changed from the command room to the conference room...

Soon, the double wooden door that was very different from the mechanical battleship came into view. The blonde girl came to the door handle and focused her eyes on a slightly quaint dark carving on the surface of the door.

——Didi

With an incongruous electronic prompt tone, the seemingly ordinary wooden door automatically opened to both sides, opening the way to the conference room to Yulandel.

Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary "wooden" door actually hides a lot of mechanical devices inside, including high-precision components of the iris recognition system. However, Yulandel has long been accustomed to the bishop's unique interest in architecture.

"Valkyrie Youlandel, reporting in."

Walking into the conference hall calmly, Yulandel went straight to the end of the long conference table and came to the blond man sitting in the main seat.

In front of Otto was a terminal screen, displaying densely packed character information. The man seemed to be concentrating on browsing the information and did not even notice Yulandel's arrival.

Yulandel coughed twice and spoke again.

"Ahem, the Valkyrie Youlandel is here to report, Your Excellency the Bishop."

"..."

dong dong——

In desperation, the blonde girl took a step forward and knocked on the wooden surface of the table with a little force. The clear sound woke the man up, and he met Yulandel's slightly dissatisfied gaze.

"Oh - Yulandel, you're back so soon?"

Otto smiled nonchalantly, not caring at all about the rude behavior of his subordinate. He even patted the seat next to him in a friendly manner, motioning for Yulandel to take a seat.

"You should still remember the imaginary number tree experiment in the Vimur Laboratory?"

Without any preparation, Otto stated his request directly and directly, which was rare. He copied the same image on the light screen and pushed it in front of Yulandel.

"Well, before accepting the mission to subjugate Chiyou, I had been assisting in that experiment in North Africa, and I still remember the specific process very clearly."

"Very good. We will reopen this experimental project soon. I hope you can prepare in advance."

Otto said this, looking at the instrument image displayed on the light screen, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Now, with the real Second God's Key as an experimental tool, our observation work should be able to produce the result closest to the theoretical value within ten times... no, five times!"

"Second God's Key?"

Yulandel frowned, but nodded seriously and wrote down Otto's instructions.

"Then please cancel my previous mission status first."

"Mission status?"

"Don't you remember? Before the Herrscher of Time incident, you should have given me a confidential mission order through Principal Theresa's terminal. Because of the confidentiality agreement, my actions will be subject to many restrictions."

Yulandel said in a serious tone, took out her terminal, opened the "secret order" from Theresa Apokalis and displayed it in front of Otto.
