K424 of the Collapse World

However, most of the time, Otto doesn't need such subordinates with overly active minds...

"Maybe. Theresa doesn't have much desire for control, and the main members of the Far East Branch are all special personnel who are difficult to manage with the system. It is normal for those messy alliance members to hide something from her intelligence system."

"Lord Otto, do you need the Supervisory Department to take over the investigation......"

"No, I will find someone to investigate this matter later. You can leave now."

With a casual wave of his hand, the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny gently turned off the light screen. After the adjutant turned and left the room, he raised his hand and touched a button on the armrest of the chair.

Since leaving the soul steel avatar at the Far East Branch, Otto has placed the control system for the avatar next to all the equipment he frequently uses. Few people know where the real body of the Destiny Bishop is, but with the help of these special devices, he can project his consciousness onto different avatars without the need for the real body to operate.

Although the prosthesis has been transformed beyond recognition by a red-haired doctor with a bad taste, it is obviously more efficient to obtain detailed information about the internal personnel of the Far East Branch and infiltrate and investigate in person than to hack into the information database...

Otto thought about it for a moment, then pressed the hidden button next to the armrest. Then, the door of the lounge was automatically locked, and two mechanical arms quickly extended from behind Otto's chair, from which two cables extended, one on the left and one on the right, and connected to the man's temple.

The next moment, the blond man tilted his head and slumped against the back of the chair, seemingly falling into a deep sleep. But in fact, he was still fully awake at this moment...

812 Time Experiment >>

As a pastime before the start of the Second God's Key experiment, using this method to investigate the hidden information in the Far East is also a very interesting job, right?

At the same time, in an experimental center somewhere in the Far East Branch...

"Target parameters 11hz/28uv......"

"Alpha wave type detected, currently analyzing..."

"Electroencephalogram shows no abnormality"

"Gray matter activity 47%, mind projection detection in progress..."

Dense data streams flashed across the large screen in the laboratory. Next to the complex instrument connected to the terminal, a petite silver-haired girl sat in front of the detector and yawned out of boredom.

(As expected, it has become like this...)

Shiris looked at the research team in white coats in front of the terminal and rubbed her eyes in annoyance.

In order to avoid trouble, she pretended to have a lower intelligence. Unsurprisingly, she was taken to Tesla's research center. A laboratory was vacated from the Honkai Biology Research Institute and used as a physical examination room to give her a full body check.

Now, the girl was sitting on a mechanical chair. Her original Valkyrie uniform had been replaced with a tight lab suit. Her body was connected to all kinds of electronic instruments. A helmet-shaped brain wave detector covered her head, almost burying her entire body in a layer of metal machinery.

(Forget it, even if this didn’t happen, Tesla would definitely take me for a checkup based on the physical aging regression caused by the law of time…)

(Just think of it as putting two things together~)

Through the gap in the mechanical device, Shirley looked at Tesla in front of the electronic screen and licked the lollipop in her hand.

That's right, Tesla didn't forget what happened before. Before pulling Hillis into the laboratory, he found a lollipop from somewhere and gave it to her, fulfilling the little promise he made before.

"Hmm? There's nothing wrong with the brain parameters. In other words, it's a complication caused by her physical changes... Hmm! It's very likely!"

"So Dr. Tesla, what do we do next...?"

"Remove the brain wave detection device, replace it with the X-ray machine and somatic cell collector, and start the second inspection."

......

The results of the brain examination of Shirley were normal.

, the parameters are still the same as those of an ordinary adult. Therefore, Tesla had to temporarily put aside his research on thinking and consciousness, and shift the focus of the inspection to the body, conducting a comprehensive inspection from the perspective of Honkai energy and physical structure.

Shirley is very clear about her physical condition. She has returned to her subversive state by using the law of time. She has no remaining physical problems and is even stronger than before...

She didn't think that modern scientific mechanical equipment could find out anything else. However, although she didn't expect it, as long as she could stop her friends from worrying about her through this examination, it would be worth wasting time.

(But when will this end?)

Licking the candy in her hand once again, the girl felt the fructose sweetener spreading on her taste buds, but it was difficult for her to enjoy the pleasure brought by the food as before.

How should I put it? A high-level Honkai creature that relies on pure Honkai factors to maintain its activities no longer needs to eat to absorb energy, especially after she has further integrated with the power of the Constraint Core, she can no longer have a normal appetite. The sweetness left by candy on her taste organs is just an ordinary taste pheromone for her.

(These substances should be extracts of sucrose, um, and citric acid... um? Those complex free molecules should be some kind of nucleic acid, right? I don’t know... Never mind, these things can’t trigger fusion reactions...)

Relying on extremely precise perception to confirm the composition of the candy on the tip of her tongue, Shirley could only use this to pass the time while waiting for the physical examination to be over.

Suddenly remembering something, Shilis slowly raised her hand and activated the energy in her body. Then, a tiny dark golden light appeared at her fingertips.

(The law of time...)

Looking at the deep dark gold in her hand, Shilis's eyes became solemn. Just like before, the energy of the Herrscher of Time that she had come into contact with was also copied and reproduced by the special Houkai energy in her body, becoming one of her abilities.

According to the characteristics of electromagnetic energy and creative energy, the Herrscher energy copied by her would be one level weaker than the original Herrscher. So, what level of power does the time energy obtained not long ago retain?

So...why not do a little experiment now?

Driven by curiosity, Shilis took the lollipop out of her mouth, and a thin silver thread came out from the tip of her tongue. She carefully controlled the unfamiliar energy of the law of time in her right hand, slowly closed her hands, and let the light of the law in her right hand cover the lollipop in her left hand...

813 The Habit of Seeking Death

"......Um?"

"Dr. Tesla, what's the problem?"

"No...nothing. Maybe it's just my imagination."

Seeing the abnormal parameters flashing on the detection device, Tesla subconsciously moved closer. However, when she blinked and found that the data had all returned to normal, she shook her head at the assistant who was concerned.

"I don't know if you saw it just now, but Shiris's Honkai Energy value rose to 1160hw in an instant, which is nearly a thousand watts higher than her basic value in a stable state."

"Eh? Is that so... Sorry, I didn't notice the readings over there just now."

"Me too......"

“It seems that there is no change?”

The researchers who were in charge of assisting the work all shook their heads. They were all responsible for different areas. In this kind of cooperative project, apart from the person who was in charge of the leading process of the experiment, there were very few researchers who could have an overview of the overall data...

In response, Tesla just curled his lips and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"So, it could be my illusion... But come to think of it, this has happened a lot before. The detection accuracy has decreased due to equipment problems... Sigh~ I hope this was just a one-time accident."

As she spoke, the red-haired girl gently rubbed her head. Under normal circumstances, if this kind of thing happened to her own experimental equipment, Dr. Tesla would definitely stop the experiment at hand, disassemble the faulty equipment directly, and find out the root cause of the problem by himself. No matter whether the instrument is a toroidal magnetic machine or a collapse reactor, it cannot be exempted from her hands. This kind of almost paranoid perfectionism is exactly Tesla's obsessive-compulsive disorder as a scientist.

But now, in order to find out Shirley's physical condition in time and confirm whether she still has safety risks, Tesla forced himself to change his work habits, just to quickly complete the physical examination of this silver-haired girl...

However, if she had just noticed the silver-haired girl's small movements, she probably would not have thought that there was a malfunction in the equipment.

At this moment, Shirley was still sitting on the central tester holding the lollipop, looking at the round candy in her hand with interest.

The fluctuation in the value just now was indeed because she activated the energy of the law of time and applied it to the object in her hand. No matter how fine her control was, the fluctuation when the law of energy took effect could not be concealed...

(Oh? I see.

......)

Looking at the dry and intact surface of the lollipop, Shirley narrowed her eyes slightly. She could see that after activating the power of the law of time, the candy that she had licked off a small circle of had been restored to the state it was in when it was just unwrapped.

However, although the lollipop has returned to the state it was a few minutes ago, Shirley can still feel that the sugar and trace elements from the lollipop are still in her body, and the sweetness of the candy is still lingering on her taste buds. Obviously, the part she ate was not reset with the effect of the law of time, but it was like extra matter that appeared out of thin air, remaining somewhere else outside the lollipop body...

Feeling the energy consumption of the law just activated, Shiris put the restored lollipop into her mouth again, and a hint of understanding gradually appeared in her eyes.

(Hmm~ I almost understand the principle of local relative time of countercurrent...)

The lollipop didn't recycle the eaten part when it was restored because the energy of the law of time was consumed as filler to reconstruct the lost part of the lollipop. Similarly, I became smaller in the time reversal launched by Xing, but in the end I didn't cause any interference to the outside world, and I also restored another soul that had been lost in my body... This is all because the omnipotent law of time reshaped everything by itself.

In other words, the local effect of the law of time will not affect the world as a whole. If you launch a relative countercurrent on a half-cut piece of bread, you will get a whole piece of bread directly, and the other half that was cut will still exist. In this process, only the energy of the law of time is consumed.

813 The habit of seeking death>>

(Consuming one's own energy to restore matter is the same as Hill's power of creation in terms of results. However, the power of creation can only act on living things composed of active cells and can only repair damage. But the law of time can reset the state of all things in the world. What is this process like... Is this the super-dimensional characteristic of the power of the law itself, or can it be transformed into any structural form of energy matter during the reset to affect the properties of the object?)

The former cannot be explained by the theory of human civilization for the time being, but if it is the latter, Shiris feels that the energy of the law of time seems to be somewhat similar to her own power, and both can be simulated and transformed into matter and energy of other properties. Of course, compared with the special Houkai energy in her body, Shiris believes that the strongest law of the Herrscher under the end will definitely not be so simple.

At least, Shiris couldn't use the energy from energy conversion to create an extra "soul"...

Since the power of the law of time is even enough to reconstruct a soul, what will happen if this reverse-current time power is applied to the two halves of a human limb that has just been severed but still retains life?

Thinking of this, Shilis suddenly frowned and gave up the idea without hesitation. Her intuition told her that before she fully understood the characteristics of the law of time, it would be best not to have the idea of ​​interfering with life and death...

In addition to the local time reversal, the law of time can also achieve global absolute space-time reversal, which is an ability that Shiris has not yet experimented with. In addition to the reversal effect, the law of time can also achieve time stillness and time acceleration, which includes relative stillness and absolute stillness, relative acceleration and absolute acceleration... It can be said that the little experiment just now exposed her to only the tip of the iceberg of the nature of the law of time. The essence of this power, I am afraid that even Xing, the former real Herrscher of Time, has not fully understood it, right?

Gradually returning to reality from her deep thinking about the law of time, Shirley looked at the lollipop in her hand, which had only a plastic stick left, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

(I can almost understand why scientists who study Honkai always tend to become crazy... Indeed, whether it is the energy rule system extended from Honkai energy or the Herrscher Law as the ultimate Honkai energy, the shock and surprise brought by studying "God's power" can easily make people addicted and unable to stop...)

The desire for knowledge surged from her brain, and Shirley quickly thought of her second experiment.

(The global space-time effect is not suitable for testing in such a closed laboratory, and the effect of time stillness is also easy to predict, so I have no interest in testing it for the time being... So the only remaining ability is the experiment of local time acceleration, right?)

(So, what should I use as the experimental object? These sophisticated instruments are definitely not usable, and the remaining lollipop plastic sticks are of no significance in accelerating anything. So, the only available object left is...)

As her gaze gradually turned to her own little hands, an intoxicated smile appeared on the silver-haired girl's face.

As she gradually immersed herself in the experiment, Hillis didn't know how much unnecessary worry her unintentional actions would bring to Tesla. However, this unexpected medical examination was probably about to end soon...

“Eh? What is this…?!”

As the girl surrounded by the equipment suddenly showed a faint golden light, Tesla and the researchers were surprised to find that all the parameters of the detection instruments began to become disordered on a large scale, and some values ​​​​changed from

Scores less than one soared directly to eight digits, and some even turned into garbled characters, flickering like breathing lights.

Before Tesla could react, a burst of sparks suddenly burst out from the mechanical instrument in the middle...

boom--! !

814 Second Change

For Tesla, laboratory explosions were commonplace. Especially when she was making new products, if the toroidal magnet machine and reactor didn't explode a few times, even she herself would feel as if something was missing.

Although she was often covered in dust and dirt by explosions, Tesla rarely got hurt during experiments thanks to her shields and other self-protection items. Thanks to this, she had completely adapted to the frequent experimental accidents, and even if the spherical robot she carried with her suddenly exploded in front of her, she probably wouldn't be too moved.

But this time, the situation is obviously different from the past...

"This... Shilis!"

Using the force field shield that automatically deployed from her arm armor, Tesla protected her assistants behind her while looking at the smoke and flames at the center of the explosion in panic. After the shock wave of the explosion subsided a little, she rushed forward impatiently, trying to find the girl from the wreckage of the machine.

But before she stepped into the smoke and dust, the wreckage of the mechanical device piled up after the collapse was gently overturned by a small hand.

Tesla stopped and stood there in a daze, looking at the spotless, smooth little hand. In her anxiety, she had forgotten that Shiris's body was much stronger than those researchers. Even if she was at the center of the explosion and bore the shock waves that were strong enough to tear steel, there wouldn't be a scratch on her body, right?

"Huh... this little girl who made me worry, I..."

Tesla breathed a sigh of relief and was wiping the cold sweat from his head. Then, a slender and tall figure stood up from the diffuse dust, with her hair falling softly behind her, and the added shadow concealed her exquisite body...

Exquisite and graceful?

The thick smoke from the explosion was quickly cleared by the laboratory's fire-fighting system. As the smoke that blocked the view gradually dissipated, the tall figure with long silver hair was fully revealed to Tesla.

Although her iconic silver hair and blue eyes remained the same, Shiris at this moment was completely different from what Tesla saw a few seconds ago...

The original white-haired loli has now become a standard girl's body shape that is not inferior to Kiana. Her excellent development makes her look straight and curvy, and her height is even slightly taller than her two sisters. However, compared with the appearance of the twin sisters Diana and Kiana, her face looks a little more mature, roughly between the concept of a queen and a girl. At first glance, she is almost the same as Cecilia in her youth...

What is worth noting is that her long silver hair fell from the back of her head to the ground, and was curled and spread out at the girl's feet, making her back look like a big furry mop. It seemed that her hair was so long that it would take decades of uncut hair.

“Shiris?! You…you you you…?!!”

Tesla's eyes twitched as he stared at the silver-haired girl who had suddenly grown taller. The smallest lab suit was already tightly held up by the girl's slender body, and the tight clothes outlined her beautiful body curves. The uniform skirt that originally reached her knees became a "miniskirt", which was tightly tied around the girl's waist like the top, making Shirley's exposed smooth belly more prominent...

However, including most of the male researchers present, no one's focus was on Shiris's seductive clothes. What shocked them the most was undoubtedly the change in the silver-haired girl herself.

This wasn't a magic trick, but seeing a little girl who was less than 1.4 meters tall suddenly turn into a tall and graceful young lady, the impact of this unscientific phenomenon was enough to make these well-informed scientists dumbfounded...

At the same time, the silver-haired girl who was the focus of everyone's attention was also a little dazed. After a few seconds of silence, she seemed to realize something and slowly raised her arm to look at her palm.

"Ah... Looks like I messed up."

As she spoke to herself in a clear and pleasant voice, a trace of helplessness appeared on the girl's beautiful face. She lowered her head and briefly glanced at her body, then turned her gaze to the Tesla in front of her.

"I'm sorry, Frey, you weren't hurt just now, were you?"

"..."

"It's my fault... I should have waited until after the physical examination to do these experiments. I'm really sorry for breaking so many valuable instruments..."

Not paying attention to the changes in her body, Shirley ignored the researchers' questioning looks, stepped naturally over the metal wreckage under her feet, came to Tesla's side, and gently poked the red-haired girl's shoulder.

"Um...are you okay?"

Standing face to face like this, Hillis was obviously taller than Tesla at this time, almost

How much higher is it? Five centimeters...

It was not until the moment when Tesla was touched by Shirley's fingers that he suddenly woke up and directly grabbed the silver-haired girl's outstretched fingers.

"Shiris! You...did you just do something?!"

The girl's scream of shock completely drowned out the whispers in the laboratory. Shiris could feel Tesla's eyes scanning her body. In response, she could only sigh helplessly.
