K424 of the Collapse World

Put it back on the ground. Silis pinched the black-haired girl's ear, then walked towards the exit door and disappeared in front of the others.

During this process, she ignored anyone except Asakura Miyuki.

"..."

Even as the silver-haired girl passed by, the assistant was still wide-eyed in shock. After what happened just now, she was sure that if Asakura Miyuki hadn't suddenly barged in, Shirley's careless wave would have definitely landed on her...

——Just like sweeping away the dust that has been raised.

806 Changes

Despite the assistant's attempts to persuade her to stay, Hillarys finally left the medical department on her own and went to confirm something more important to her.

Without the assistance of Shirley, the Third Rescue Team was doomed to fail to provide the same zero-casualty emergency treatment as before. However, the originally delayed transportation of medical resources was finally completed during Shirley's work, and began to be quickly delivered to various medical units at the branch base.

Therefore, even if Shirley temporarily withdrew, the loss could be minimized. The original medical team had to admit that it was probably because Miss Shirley realized that the transport team had arrived, so she was relieved to hand the treatment work back to the medical team and deal with other things herself.

Although the perfect connection between the two events seems more like a coincidence, from a humane perspective, more people are willing to believe that the girl's choice was not out of coldness and ruthlessness...

As for other people's comments about her, Shirley didn't care at all. The moment she left the door of the medical department, she had forgotten all the medical staff she had just worked with and began to follow the traces left by Diana and Mei.

"Hmm? None of the three of them registered their destinations. Things are getting more and more suspicious..."

Using the terminal to search the base's attack records, Shirley couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She didn't find the names of Kiana and the other two on it.

Diana aside, Kiana and Mei would not break the rules for no reason and just "climb over the wall" from the base and run outside. Even if Mei was dragged out by Diana, it is not difficult to guess the reason for their actions. It is obvious that they were looking for Kiana...

So, the question goes back to the beginning. Why did Kiana, who was the first to leave the base silently, take action?

From the girl's deliberate avoidance of her not long ago, Shirley sensed a hint of conspiracy.

"Why do you think Kiana suddenly avoided me? Could it be that her leaving the branch without a word is also related to the previous incident?"

Shilis seemed to be talking to herself, but her voice was clearly transmitted into her mental world through the resonance of the spirit. The other soul in the sea of ​​consciousness could also hear her questions and answer them in the same way.

"..."

"Lan Feng?"

However, three seconds later, there was still no sound feedback in Shilis' mind. Sensing the abnormality, Shilis quickly dived into the sea of ​​consciousness and cast her mind into the blank mental image space.

No......

The young man's consciousness, which should have been in the center of the mental space and looked extremely eye-catching, has now disappeared without a trace.

"—?!"

Shilis' heart suddenly trembled, and she immediately spread her perception to search for Lan Feng's consciousness. However, even though she used her perception to scan the entire sea of ​​consciousness, she did not find any trace of another soul.

What on earth is going on? ! Why did Lan Feng, who was bound to his soul, suddenly disappear?

Could it be an enemy attack that crossed the sea of ​​consciousness? No, it was impossible. Even the consciousness of the Herrscher of the End could be detected by me, so what else could be hidden from my perception and invade my consciousness space?

Moreover, with the consciousness link, when Lan Feng was attacked, he should have been aware of it. Even if a barrier to block perception was set up, he would have noticed it when he entered the consciousness space. But now, Lan Feng's consciousness seemed to have evaporated out of thin air right before his eyes...

806 Mutation Re-emerges>>

Or is it that this is not actually the case?

Standing in the empty sea of ​​consciousness, Shirley Sissy silently looked at the pure white space in front of her. As a previous guess once again circled in her mind, her eyes gradually became gloomy.

Could it be...

Although Shirley took action almost immediately after noticing Diana and Mei leaving the base, she would never have thought that the speed of development had exceeded her imagination.

With the support of powerful Honkai energy, Kiana has already left the sea near the Far East and headed east to the interior of the Pacific Ocean. However, in front of Diana who masters the laws of space, no matter how fast she is, it is meaningless.

As expected, Diana and Mei, who acted later, easily blocked Qi with their mobility.

However, before they could ask why the other party left without permission, what happened next was beyond the expectations of the two girls...

“No! Mei——!!”

The blood-stained black hair was scattered in the air, and the scene of Mei's figure slowly falling from the sky was reflected in Diana's wide-open blue eyes.

She tried to reach out her hands, trying to hold the falling girl. However, the impact on her waist caused Diana to lose balance instantly, and she and Mei both fell to the sea below...

At the last moment, she finally grabbed Mei's hand, constructed a platform out of thin air with the power of space, and stood in the air holding the injured black-haired girl, covering her spasming lower abdomen and gasping for breath.

"Ahem... ahem... why? Why are you doing this?!"

"..."

"Answer me, Sister Kiana!!"

Staring at the silver-haired girl holding the light blade standing in the air, Diana's eyes were full of confusion. She didn't understand why Kiana would attack the two of them without any warning, and defeated Mei's Herrscher Ring with lightning speed, and launched a merciless suppression attack on the two of them...

"Be careful Diana... Miss Kiana looks a little strange..."

Mei exhaled heavily and broke free from Diana's embrace. Her right arm and abdomen were scratched by the light blade, and it was difficult for her to use her sword skills.

She was eliminated by Kiana's sudden attack. Diana, who had already consumed too much physical strength, was completely unable to resist Kiana's fierce attack. In just a few dozen seconds, they were forced into a desperate situation by Kiana, which is the current situation...

"Sister Kiana...are you planning to leave us? Why, why did you suddenly make such a decision..."

"If I tell you the reason, will you let me go?"

As Kiana asked in a stiff tone, the silver-haired girl below clenched her fists, and the Sub-Sky Spear constructed with the Herrscher's energy suddenly appeared around her.

"Of course... Impossible!"

807 Transfer

Although these are passionate words, beautiful words and passionate anger alone cannot make up for the absolute gap between combat experience and existing strength.

Diana's sub-spatial spear, which was projected by overdrawing the Herrscher's energy, was evaded one after another by Kiana's superb flying skills. Before Diana could regain control of the missed spear, it was shattered by Kiana's swing of the light blade and turned into free pure energy that dissipated in the air.

If it was Diana in normal times, she could instantly detonate these Herrscher energies that were out of control, creating a wide-ranging spatial shock, and use this to counterattack Kiana. But now, after many battles, she was gradually exhausted and had no power to control these scattered energies...

The golden blade flashed before her eyes, and the invisible barrier around Diana was shattered! She did not hesitate to overdraw the energy of the Herrscher and constructed a force field shield based on the principles of the law, but at this moment, it seemed meaningless in front of another silver-haired girl.

Even the same Houkai energy, when it reaches a certain level of strength, can break the Herrscher's shield. Moreover, the power Kiana is using at this moment is not ordinary Houkai energy, but a powerful ability of the same level as the Herrscher's law in a certain sense.

"..."

The girl grasped the pure golden blade structure and pointed the tip of the blade at Diana's throat. But in the end, her action paused at this step, and she did not stab the sword that would decide the outcome. It was not until half a second later that the blade in her hand was blocked by Diana's horizontal spear after she reacted, and Kiana resumed her fighting state, using her light blade to forcefully resist the Sub-Sky Spear in front of her, and she was in a stalemate with it.

"Sister Kiana...what do you want to do?! If you don't want to hurt me, why did you attack us? In the end...what is the reason for you suddenly leaving everyone?"

Diana's arms trembled violently, and she tried her best to resist the pressure from Kiana's light blade. Unable to freely use the power of the Herrscher, she seemed doomed to fail in the face of the battle-hardened Kiana.

Bah! !

The next moment, Kiana suddenly withdrew her power and turned around, and the light blade rubbed the surface of the Argon Spear and slid to the side, causing Diana, who continued to exert force, to pounce forward and miss! The two girls passed each other, and at the moment when their scattered silver hair intertwined with each other, the small fist swung at Diana's shoulder...

Even though he didn't want to hurt his sister, in order to prevent her from chasing him and pestering him, he had to destroy her ability to move.

As long as the force is controlled so as not to endanger her life, even if a few of her bones are broken, Sister Shilis and Hill will be able to make them recover in an instant...

The sharp elbow punch tore through the airflow, drew a regular arc in the air, and smashed into Diana's body. However, this blow that should have knocked Diana down was intercepted in mid-air by the spear that was raised in an instant!

--boom! !

At the moment the two sides collided, a translucent golden shock wave emanated, sweeping away the dense energy debris around them.

With her back to Kiana, Diana held the Spear of the Sky upright behind her and blocked the incoming fist with a move similar to Shenzhou martial arts.

"I'm not always standing still... Sister Kiana!"

"..."

"You really don't plan to tell me the reason? Very well, the more you act like this, the more I can't let you leave!"

"There's nothing much to say about this, Diana. You shouldn't have come here directly... Afterwards, please apologize to Sister Shiris for me..."

"This kind of thing... just go and tell her yourself!!"

Diana's figure suddenly disappeared, and she jumped through space to appear above Kiana's back, and stabbed down with her spear! But Kiana turned her body sideways as if she had foreseen her tricky angle change, letting the tip of the spear slide down her shoulder.

807 Transfer >>

The girl who had spared no effort in launching the attack, missed the target with this attack, and once again passed by Kiana, exposing her entire body's weaknesses to Kiana who was so close...

At this point, there was no need to talk anymore. Kiana didn't think she could convince this stubborn girl, nor did she think it was necessary for her to let her know the truth.

Some things are destined to be done alone...

Swish——! !

The sharp fist shadow, which was completely different from the previous one, was reflected in Diana's pupils for a moment. Before she could react, her eyes went dark, and a stinging dizziness enveloped her entire mind...

Letting Diana fall limply into her arms, Kiana held the unconscious girl and slowly descended to the rough sea.

Although Mei, who was injured before, had lost most of her fighting ability, she was still able to maintain her flying state with the remaining Herrscher energy in her body, and witnessed the entire process of this short battle at a low altitude near the sea.

"Ms. Kiana..."

"Take good care of her. I didn't use any harsh force."

As if nothing had happened just now, Kiana spoke as she floated towards Mei with a normal expression and handed the silver-haired girl in her arms to Mei.

"You should have sent a message to the branch just now. If nothing unexpected happens, the support troops will arrive here within ten minutes to treat your injuries, so don't worry."

With Diana's gentle voice, the tense atmosphere was unilaterally dispelled. Mei took the unconscious silver-haired girl in a daze, stammering for a long time, not knowing how to ask questions.

"..."

"That's it, I'm really sorry for what happened just now, but if I don't do this, you will definitely try your best to stop me in order to help her, right?"

"But... I don't understand why Miss Kiana insisted on leaving and even resorted to violence instead of telling us the reason..."

"Hehe...I see. What a pity. I thought you could understand me, Mei-san."

Kiana smiled helplessly, ignored Mei's puzzled look, and slowly turned around.

"When the third collapse broke out in Changkong City, you were saved by this child. Why did you try to escape from her?"

"...?!"

"Goodbye, Miss Mei, we will meet again soon. By then, you will understand everything..."

In Mei's suddenly shocked eyes, Kiana said nothing more, and directly launched energy to break through the air, turning into a meteor that disappeared into the distant sky...

·————————————·

"Now, let's get on with it..."

The silver-haired girl suddenly spoke while flying at high speed. Although there was no one around her, she seemed to be talking to someone, and her tone and expression became serious at the same time.

"Tell me, what's wrong with Sister Shilis? How can we stop her from becoming a second Herrscher?"

"Don't worry, I'll explain everything... After all, this is why I'm here..."

The next moment, a voice that only Kiana could hear echoed in her mind...

808 Interlaced

"So, after you caught up with her, she beat you up without any explanation?"

Inside the Far East Branch's specially built medium-sized floating battleship, Shiris leaned against the command terminal with her arms folded, looking at the two girls in front of her with shame on their faces.

Eight minutes ago, shortly after Diana and Mei were defeated by Kiana, the first person to arrive at the scene was naturally Shiris, who had put down her work and rushed over. While healing the two with her creative energy, she learned about what happened from Mei.

Kiana, who was moving at high speed, was completely out of Shirley's range within a few minutes. Shirley could only put the matter aside for the time being and took the two of them on the support transport ship that arrived from the Far East Branch.

Cheng returned to the branch base.

"I'm very sorry... Lady Shirley, because Miss Kiana suddenly attacked and defeated me without any preparation, and then Diana was the only one left and I had no energy to stop her, so..."

Mei lowered her head in shame, not daring to look directly into Shirley's eyes. Even if there were reasonable reasons, she and Diana, two true Herrschers, were defeated by Kiana in a one-on-two situation. This was undoubtedly a humiliating defeat.

"Did she really say nothing?"

"Well... apart from a few words of apology, she didn't reveal anything meaningful."

Diana rubbed her head and recalled. She remembered the meaningless conversations in the previous confrontation more clearly, and there was really nothing worth paying attention to.

"Sister Shirley, if I had tried harder just now, maybe..."

"No, you've done very well. Remember I should have told you before that you should never overdraw your Herrscher energy. If you are controlled by the will of Houkai again before Kiana's matter is resolved, I'm afraid I'll have a bigger headache."

Using her perception to scan the energy fluctuations in Diana's body, after repeated confirmation, Shirley was completely relieved. She raised her hand and gently tapped the girl's forehead.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Don't think that you can defeat Kiana just by mastering the power of the Herrscher... That kid already had the power to face the Herrscher seven or eight years ago."

"But I did hold back, otherwise..."
