K424 of the Collapse World

Not

Everyone has the ability of the Herrscher of the Heart, so others naturally don't know the huge changes that have taken place in her inner world. Suddenly, seeing that Shiris, whose condition was unknown after being reset, showed abnormal behavior again, people would only think that something might have gone wrong with this girl again.

Ignoring other people's voices could be explained by inattention, but standing there in a daze like this was far beyond the realm of normal people.

Even though her powerful mental power could accelerate her thinking, this situation was still unavoidable because she spent too much time in the mental world.

However, the new ability that Shiris mastered can at least reduce her dementia to just a moment...

"Shiris, you..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Before Theresa could express her concern, the silver-haired girl in front of her immediately came to her senses and smiled apologetically.

"I just suddenly remembered an important matter and was a little hesitant about how to deal with it. It's nothing serious."

Hearing Shirley's nonchalant tone, Theresa hesitated for a moment, and her worried look slowly relaxed.

Seeing the strangeness of Shirley, she had already given up the idea of ​​sending this girl and asked her to go to Tesla or Cocolia for a physical examination. Now, after hearing the girl's explanation, Theresa's concerns disappeared...

Although she still felt a little strange, Theresa did not doubt what the girl said because of her trust in Shirley.

"Important? If it's really urgent, I can give you something from the branch..."

"No, no, this matter does not conflict with the support mission. There is no need to cancel the previous order. What I was thinking about just now is something that will need to be dealt with soon... Well, a small trouble."

Shilis said, waving her hands hurriedly at Jizi. When she said the word "trouble", the silver-haired girl's smile dimmed for a moment, but this fleeting change in her expression did not attract the attention of others, and her smile had already returned to its usual warm and gentle tone.

"Although I originally came here to ask something, there is no need to rush. Leave the problem of lack of medical care to me. If Hill has time, I will ask her to come and help..."

"Unfortunately, before the medical resources were exhausted, Miss Hill had already shared the pressure at the branch clinic. If the situation was not urgent and there was no other way, I would not ask you to do this kind of work."

"I see... It doesn't matter. I'm enough on my own anyway."

As she spoke, Shilis blinked without changing her expression.

"And you don't have to be so polite. As a companion of Saint Freya, I have an obligation to help those injured Valkyries. What's more, it's easy for me to do so."

After picking up the terminal and checking the mark on it, Silis waved goodbye to Theresa and Himeko, then turned and walked towards the exit door at the back...

Looking at the back of Shirley leaving, Theresa suddenly felt a sudden palpitation! She subconsciously raised her hand and wanted to call the girl who was about to leave.

"hope......"

However, the moment she opened her mouth, as Theresa suddenly reacted, the sound of the name she was about to call out stopped abruptly.

What was wrong with me... Was I too mentally exhausted? In the previous moment, the back of Shilis suddenly rose high in her eyes, causing Theresa to feel a strange sense of awe, and the Vishnu cells in her body began to become restless, just like the instinctive fear of a hound seeing a tiger...

798 Rooting Seeds >>

During the second Honkai incident, she was able to launch an attack on the Herrscher of the Void without fear alone. What else could scare her?

However, that strange sense of déjà vu was only fleeting, and the silver-haired girl's back returned to normal, becoming thin and petite again.

Theresa rubbed her eyes and after making sure that what she saw this time was not an illusion, she fell completely silent and watched Shirley quickly walk out of the door and leave the terminal room of the command center.

"Theresa?"

"It's alright... Himeko. There's still a lot to deal with, so let's continue with our work."

Theresa slowly put down her hand, waved her hand to Ji Zi who had a strange look on her face, and said, hiding her doubts and suppressing them deep in her heart.

The strange feeling just now was probably just her own illusion. Anyway, she had already explained the next task clearly, so there was no need for her to stop the girl and ask about these unimportant things.

Perhaps, after this work is finished, I really should take a good rest...

·————————————·

Shirley didn't notice Theresa's abnormality. The overflow of the Herrscher's aura was not something she could control, and her attention was not focused there.

From the moment she turned her back to Theresa and Jizi, the smile on the silver-haired girl's face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy look.

cold......

(Herrser of the End, what on earth did she do...?)

The angry emotion flashed through her mind, but she carefully concealed the fluctuations so as not to let the other soul in her heart sense them at all.

Although the two people's consciousness is connected, they can't directly see the contents of each other's thoughts...

Indeed, Shilis has the utmost trust in the partners she recognizes, but she is not a fool.

Although it was unclear what happened in the mental space, the scene of Lan Feng and the incarnation of the Herrscher of the End in close contact and talking about something was clearly reflected in Shiris's eyes...

Although Lan Feng's soul strength was not as strong as Shirley's, Shirley, who had fought with him before, knew that the young man's strength could not be called weak, and he could even fight against the incarnation of the Ruler of the End.

In Shiris's opinion, Lan Feng would never sit idly by when facing the enemy...

This was enough to make the girl suspicious, but Shilis didn't think that Lan Feng, who had the same consciousness as her, had any reason to betray her. Therefore, her suspicion turned to another direction.

(Yes... maybe that guy did something to Lan Feng, rewriting some of his cognition, or maybe...)

The silver-haired girl's eyes narrowed slightly.

(The "Lan Feng" who was born from the paradox of the law of collapse has problems in itself!)

Shirley's trust in her companions was indeed as Lan Feng had guessed, but the logic of her thinking was not a simple either-or relationship.

Since important companions will not betray you, then...what if it is a special case? Just like Wraith who pretended to be Tesla to plot against you, or Noni who shot you under threat, such experiences are not uncommon for Shilis.

She knew that Lan Feng, who had been revived by the Law of Time, was no longer the young man who was exiled by Honkai for her. Therefore, Shiris had every reason to suspect that there was some kind of relationship between him and the Herrscher of the End...

(If my suspicion is wrong, I will certainly apologize to you in the future. But if... you are just a fake with Lan Feng's appearance...)

The girl thought silently, a murderous smile flashed across her lips, and her small fists suddenly clenched.

(Then, the consciousness space probably needs to be cleaned up~☆)

799 Farewell

The slender figure of the girl slowly walked forward on the shattered battlefield.

Mecha troops exploring the ruins of the building, Valkyries searching for survivors, transport planes speeding by at low altitude... These Far Eastern troops dealing with the aftermath passed by the silver-haired girl, busy on this chaotic battlefield.

No one noticed that the thin and lonely figure was slowly moving away from the noisy scene, walking further and further away on the edge of the base island...

In the emergency rescue and cleanup operation, no one would deliberately pay attention to the movements of an ordinary girl, especially in the Far East branch where there are many Valkyries. Such a young girl acting alone will only become more inconspicuous in the chaotic scene.

(But, this is fine...)

The girl thought silently, her slow and firm steps not pausing at all.

Kiana originally thought that no matter how much she lost on the road ahead, he would never leave her again...

But the facts revealed the cruel truth - all the vows made in the mind were nothing but wishful thinking.

Now, her last safe haven was also swallowed up by the storm that came with the collapse.

(Why is this happening...?)

Kiana kept asking herself this question. Even though the reality was already extremely clear, she didn't want to admit the answer in her heart.

No matter how you try to avoid it, your future will eventually come. Perhaps all of this has been arranged by something called fate.

Pinching the collar of her chest, she held the crescent-shaped pendant tightly in her palm. Kiana could feel that the power of the disaster had penetrated the sealed door. She was curled up behind the door and had no way to escape. Soon, she would have to face the masters of those powers in person and use her own will to fight against the corrosive power...

From the moment Shiris returned from the Glorious Covenant, Kiana suddenly realized that as long as she got close to the girl, the energy on the other side of the seal would be affected by some kind of resonance, and its corrosiveness would become more active and dangerous!

Feeling the stable energy in her body that had temporarily stopped stirring, the girl's eyes also became calmer.

Although this made her feel a little relieved, the pain engraved in her heart would only intensify...

In other words, as long as he stayed away from Sister Shiris, he could control the surge of energy and maximize the countdown before the disaster.

It's not entirely clear how the energy here works, but it's pretty simple, isn't it?

Yes, as long as you suppress the urge to meet her and keep your emotions stable, over time, the erosion of energy

The penetration will naturally slow down, and you will have more time to think clearly.

Just leave and you can protect everyone...

Kiana had already foreseen the hidden dangers in her body a few years ago. However, she was always convinced that she would never be taken away by that power again... Even if she was defeated, Shiris would definitely be able to pull her back from the abyss of despair as she had done countless times before...

But now, as the erosion infiltrated more and more, Kiana came into contact with the erosion energy more and more frequently, and gradually saw a little bit of the truth of that energy. Now she realized how stupid her original idea of ​​relying on others was.

Those unknown energies were definitely not something that could be overcome by conventional Honkai power, nor by her will. Even the restraining power held by Shiris would probably not be able to eliminate that deep and mysterious power...

The Herrscher is supposed to be the pinnacle of Honkai power, but the special energy in his body has Honkai power far beyond the Herrscher level. What does this mean?

Kiana had already made some vague guesses about the nature of this energy. At the same time, she also realized what kind of existence she was, being attached to this energy...

799 Farewell>>

(Perhaps, I am the final Herrscher chosen by Honkai...)

The girl turned her head unconsciously and looked at the headquarters building standing in the center of the base. Feeling the energy fluctuations that were already too weak to be recognized, she slowly raised her hand and reached towards the top floor, as if she wanted to grab something.

But soon, the girl's raised hand fell down weakly, and she retracted her gaze from behind, turning around abruptly as if to cut off everything. Just like the shattered dream in the morning, the thought that flashed through her mind countless times was once again ruthlessly extinguished by her.

(When the sealed energy is completely out of control, my consciousness will definitely not be able to win. In the end, there is only one possibility, that is, it will be replaced by the will of collapse and become the carrier of the arrival of the Herrscher of the End...)

(Well, before things become irreversible, I must do something about this... For now, I must find a way to delay her coming and maximize the delay of the end!)

The silver-haired girl thought silently. When she reached the edge of the base, she flashed through the surveillance area of ​​the outpost without anyone noticing and stepped onto the foreshore of the Far East Sea.

Kiana had thought about destroying the carrier chosen by the Herrscher of the End before he arrived. But thinking of the energy resonance between herself and Shiris, it was not difficult for her to guess that the girl with the same type of energy fluctuations was also a candidate for the Herrscher of the End...

If she chose death, this power would probably immediately entangle another qualified person and corrode Shiris into the final Herrscher who would end civilization.

If that happens, everything will be over, and all the efforts made by everyone to continue civilization will be completely in vain.

Yes, she must take on the role of the End. In order to prevent the fragile human civilization from facing the next devastating disaster, she must choose to leave now.

Kiana didn't know how the power of civilization would have to evolve to fight against the End, but looking at the current stage of civilization, it had not yet broken through the technological level of imaginary numbers and quantum fields, so it was obviously impossible to fight against the Herrscher of the End...

However, although the Herrscher of the End is theoretically invincible, the Quantum Sea Transfer Plan proposed by Shiris provides the possibility of completely escaping the Houkai.

As long as he could delay long enough, when Shilis's plan succeeded, the entire planet would be out of this dimensional universe. At that time, as the Ruler of the End, as long as he left this planet, the Earth, which was cut off from the origin of the collapse, would no longer have any collapse factors.

In this way, as long as he could really hold on until that time, it would even be enough to eliminate the need for the rearguard troops responsible for delaying the Herrscher of the End as originally planned, and end the Honkai Impact without any sacrifice.

If nothing unexpected happens...

From this perspective, the power of the end that descended upon him did not seem as bad as expected?

The golden light turned into wings behind him, carrying the girl across the boundless sea and sky. Whether it was the rapid mechanical alarms or the sonic booms of the aircraft breaking through the air, they all became increasingly faint in her ears, no longer causing any ripples in the girl's heart.

Although I still feel a little reluctant in my heart, I have already made up my mind.

She will hide herself in the endless darkness until the day when she is abandoned by the world...

The light that passed through the sky swept away the clouds, the scattered tears shattered in the wind, and the crystal water splashed towards the water surface below with the girl's thoughts, staying forever in this sea of ​​the far east.

"Goodbye, Sister Shilis..."

800 The Real Interventionist

Shiris walked out of the command center and was about to assist the rescue team as a temporary medical team member in accordance with the combat orders she had just received.

"what?"

But suddenly, the silver-haired girl raised her eyebrows slightly.

In Shiris's perception, a familiar energy fluctuation quickly left her perception range, rushed towards the outside of the island, and gradually faded away completely in the entire branch base.

Shirley turned her head in the direction where the energy disappeared, her eyes passed through the dilapidated wreckage of the buildings, and looked far away at the sea and sky above the skyline.

Using energy to enhance her vision, she seemed to be able to see the golden meteor leaving a clear trail as it shot up into the sky, breaking through the high-altitude clouds and blending into the azure blue.

Afterwards, she could no longer catch any trace of it.

"Kiana...?"

Shilis blinked her eyes, mobilized her spiritual energy again, and covered the entire branch island with her perception, confirming again whether what happened just now was true...

That's right, Kiana's energy response had indeed completely disappeared. Even the birthday gift she gave her, the necklace made of energy crystals, also did not resonate with her, and it was obviously far beyond the limit of her perception distance.

"..."

The silver-haired girl frowned and slowly withdrew her gaze. She couldn't understand why Kiana would leave the Far East Branch at this time? With her personality, she would probably not choose to leave after a disaster broke out in the branch.

Come to think of it, is her previous behavior of deliberately avoiding me related to this?

Could it be that something happened...

Hillary thought silently in her heart, but did not stop her actions. After leaving the door of the command center, she immediately turned on the positioning mode of the terminal to confirm the location of her mission target.
