K424 of the Collapse World

Why is this happening?! Every step of the roundup was planned with absolute care. How could Kiana detect Bronya's actions? Was it a mistake by the advance team... or did the girl's abilities change in the month since she left the Far East?

The frustration of having his plan discovered, the worry about his sister, and the fact that she

Escape from the resentment around her...all these emotions piled together, and for some reason, they blended into a pure anger in Shirley's heart.

It turns out that Kiana, who has always been well-behaved and obedient, would also challenge her own dignity?

Nameless anger continued to spread in her heart, urging Shilis to do something immediately.

She was thinking about what she should do to make up for this failure...

(Do you want to use the power of the law of time?)

Shilis looked at her palm, and a pale golden energy vortex began to appear in her palm. With just one thought, the powerful law would instantly cover everything in this space and time, bringing everything under her control.

Should he use his ability to reverse time to go back a few minutes and give Bronya a warning in advance? Or should he just freeze time and space with his ability to stop time, and then find her bit by bit in South America? Or...

"..."

Staring at her palm, the silver-haired girl was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head, rejecting this plan in her mind.

The effect of time reversal has not been tested yet, and it is obviously not suitable for use in this special situation. If time is stopped, it will take a long time to activate the ability, which will bring huge consumption. When activating Judah's oath just now, a lot of energy has been consumed. Let's not talk about whether she can find Kiana within the duration of the ability. Even if she can find her, with the remaining power after continuous use of the law, can she defeat that powerful girl?

Being able to sense the existence of the Law of the Herrscher allows one to maintain mobility within a certain distance from the initiator of the Law of Time. Shiris knew very well that Kiana must also have this ability.

Even though she was filled with inexplicable anger, Shilis did not lose her composure. On the contrary, the impact of the collapse made her more rational. Like a sophisticated machine, she worked out one plan after another in her mind...

"Siris, the third unit has picked up Diana, Bronya and the others, and has begun to return to the branch base."

At this time, the silver-haired girl who had completed the contact came over and approached Shirley from behind.

"I have just ordered Hyperion to return. After all, it is impossible to find Kiana today... Eh? Shiris?"

Theresa was about to say something, but the silver-haired girl suddenly turned around and looked at the huge cross standing on the ground not far away...

Under Theresa's puzzled gaze, the silver-haired woman gently lifted the cross, grabbed a chain and put it on her shoulder, then walked to the edge of the deck again.

"I have another idea."

823 Both parties used

"method......?"

When Theresa saw what Hillis had done before, she hadn't realized what she was planning to do. But then, after hearing Hillis's next words and watching her casually pull out the cross stuck on the deck, Theresa realized what this woman was going to do...

"Hey! Do you want to go after Kiana alone again?"

She hurriedly grabbed the silver-haired woman who was about to pass by her and forced her to stop.

"Shiris, everyone understands your feelings. I am also worried about Kiana's condition. But now, our operation has failed, and Kiana will become more vigilant. It will undoubtedly be difficult to find her at this time. At this time, what is the point of your solo search?"

"That's why we need to strike quickly at this time."

With her back to Theresa, Shilis spoke in a slightly faster pace, with a barely perceptible sense of urgency in her tone.

"Having foiled our plan in advance and watching our troops evacuate under cover, Kiana must have thought that we had given up on tracking her. So, before she becomes more alert, this is our chance."

"But......"

"She can't detect Judas' tracking effect on her. As long as I can determine her general location again at a closer distance, I can directly lock her with my own perception. By that time, that girl will never be able to get rid of me!"

"..."

Theresa listened to Hillis's resolute answer and lowered her head in hesitation. Then, she looked at the Oath of Judah on Hillis' back and sighed helplessly.

"That's what you said... But if you don't take me with you, how are you going to activate the Key of God? Using energy to activate Judas requires your full concentration, so how can you have extra energy to operate the hunting mode chain? Besides, in the entire Destiny Organization, probably no one knows the eleventh Key of God better than me."

Although it was not planned, Theresa had expected that Hillis would continue to track him. She was worried that Hillis would do a lot of useless work under impulse, wasting her energy and branch resources.

But now, seeing that the girl still maintained her sanity and could calmly analyze the situation, Theresa realized that she might still have a way to save the relationship...

“Also, my weight is

It's light, not even a fraction of Judas. If you want to travel quickly by flying, it won't be inconvenient to carry me along with Judas."

"You want to assist me in my operation? Pfft... As a Judas accessory or something, do you even think of yourself as a Judas launcher?"

However, in response to Theresa's initiative, Hillis smiled softly. She turned her head, her gentle eyes lingered on Theresa for a moment, and then she shook her head gently.

"Don't worry about activating Judas, because I have found a launcher as good as yours. Bronya has been attacked and injured, and it can be seen that Kiana is determined not to be found by us, and she will not hesitate to attack her former partner. In this case, it may be more effective for me to act alone."

"Huh... Let me guess, you're worried that other people might get hurt, and you want to take it all on yourself, right?"

Theresa frowned slightly as she spoke. Like Diana Mei and other young girls, Theresa could often feel that Shirley was overly protective of her companions. As a powerful Valkyrie who could handle things on her own, she naturally didn't like being overly cared for by others, especially in such an emergency. Shirley's protective behavior towards them only made Theresa feel that the girl didn't trust their power at all...

823 Both parties using >>

In response to Theresa's slightly dissatisfied voice, Hillis just smiled back.

"No, I just found a better target to exploit~"

As she spoke, the curve of Silis's mouth became more intriguing. With this playful expression, her body floated into the air surrounded by golden light, and six phantom-like golden wings gathered behind her, gradually leaving the deck platform of Hyperion.

"No matter what, it would be better to use other forces rather than wasting the internal strength of your own organization, right?"

In a certain destiny base thousands of miles away from the Far East Sea, a dense array of light screens flashed in the equipment room of a similar intelligence department. The images on those light screens were all surveillance images fed back from the South American branch.

The South American branch of the Mandate of Heaven can accept the commission of the Far East branch to help monitor the border of Suriname, but it will also obey the instructions of its superiors and share the intelligence it obtains with the Mandate of Heaven headquarters...

The brown-haired girl looked at the image on the central display screen, watching the Far East Branch fleets withdrawing from the coast one after another. It was obvious that the mission had been completed and they were about to return.

"This is really an unexpected situation... If it is really that person, I am afraid I need to request more support from the headquarters."

Rita narrowed her eyes, her slightly drooping gaze shifted away from the screen of the combat center, and she began to fall into deep thought.

After she investigated a certain file in the Destiny database, the mission to track down the "Ghost of Columbia" began to have a new breakthrough...

According to the intelligence from the headquarters, she knew that Kiana Kaslana from the Far East Branch had left the base a month ago and her whereabouts were unknown. Now, the Far East Branch was conducting a search in South America, the center of the attack.

A month ago, the invasion of Columbia Ghost began. Although she didn't know how the Far East Branch confirmed Kiana's whereabouts, these coincidences at the right time had already led to an inevitable fact...

The "Colombian Ghost" that attacked the Destiny Cooperation Organization was Kiana Kaslana who left the Far East Branch!

"So, the Far East Branch's tracking operation has failed... Could it be that Kiana Kaslana still has a way to obtain real-time intelligence after the invasion?"

Rita pinched her chin, thought for a moment, and then contacted the logistics department of the Immortal Blade using the terminal.

"Alvette, find out the previous search targets of the Far Eastern Forces and the locations where they clashed! Then find out the search range of the nearby Destiny Cooperation Organization and send all these coordinates to me!"

The specific reasons why Kiana chose to defect from the Far East Branch and fight against the invasion of Destiny were not what Rita cared about. Now, she would only fulfill her duties as the captain of the Destiny Force and arrest the targets of the invading organization.

If her guess was correct, Kiana's continuous intrusions into Skyrim's cooperative organizations like before were definitely not just for the purpose of stealing intelligence!

With the failed operation of the Far East Branch, the ghost girl hiding in the darkness will inevitably reveal a flaw. As long as we grasp this fleeting opportunity accurately, the mystery will soon be revealed.

But before that, she might face an unexpected visitor...

824 Unregrettable Faith

With the end of Kiana's capture mission, the Hyperion's orange alert status was lifted, and the navigation target was reset to the Far East Airport, and it began its return voyage.

After issuing this series of instructions, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao sat back in the observation seat on the bridge and breathed a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, the access to the deck

The tactical lifting device on the upper level was suddenly activated, and the short silver-haired girl standing on the platform slowly descended and walked into the bridge from the side walkway.

This tactical elevator was originally the emergency exit passage for the former Hyperion Captain, Himeko Muliangta, when she used the Nexus Fusion System. With the temporary resignation of the former captain, this former tactical elevator has become a shortcut for the powerful Valkyries to enter and exit the warship...

After all, not all Valkyries can maintain balance on the outside of a speeding warship.

"Hmm? Principal Theresa, why didn't Miss Silis come down with you?"

Looking at Theresa who walked into the bridge alone, Jiuxiao raised his head and looked at the second-level platform on the upper floor, but still did not see the figure of the other silver-haired girl, so he could not help but ask Theresa.

"Is she still on the deck? But the combat mission has ended... May I ask what happened?"

"Well, it was a bit unexpected..."

When Theresa heard Jiuxiao's question, her expression became a little subtle. After a brief hesitation, she slowly nodded and responded softly.

"Although the operation failed, it seems that Shilis has a backup plan and has already started to implement it. She will not return to the branch with us."

"Backup plan? But our battle plan doesn't mention this..."

Jiu Xiao frowned slightly. She had been engaged in military activities since she lost her memory, and had already developed extremely rigorous military qualities. Therefore, she always had complaints about actions outside of combat orders.

However, considering that Shiris was the de facto leader of the Far East Alliance and nominally his superior, Jiuxiao quickly nodded to show his understanding and stopped asking about the matter.

"Then, do you need me to transfer Hyperion's intelligence authority to Miss Shilis? Since she wants to continue to implement the plan, she should need intelligence support, right?"

"No need... Before leaving, Shirley said that the next operation does not require the Far East Branch's support. We can just continue to retreat according to the base's orders. She will... well, go find a more suitable 'partner' herself."

Theresa said tiredly, slumping down on the seat in front of the observation screen. She then stretched her limbs and stretched like a cat in the spacious seat.

Even though the energy of the law driving the Key of God was all generated by Shiris, the physical strength of Theresa was still greatly consumed when operating the tracking chain of the Key of Constraint. Although the hunting mode was only the second rated power of the Key of God, under the drive of the star-destroying level of Honkai energy, the Judah Oath, which was originally as easy to control as a classic car for her, seemed to have replaced the F1 engine, and the difficulty coefficient of control was instantly multiplied by geometric multiples, almost beyond her ability...

She had been using the Key of Constraint for more than forty years and was almost unable to control it, but Shirley took Judas away alone and said that she could find a more suitable launcher than herself... ahem, a more suitable assistant controller than herself. This made Theresa a little confused.

In terms of proficiency in using the Eleventh Divine Key, who in the Destiny world is stronger than himself?

"Well, Principal Theresa, the Hyperion will continue to return as planned, right?"

Jiuxiao's words interrupted Theresa's thoughts. Looking at the girl who was seriously confirming with her, she nodded without thinking, and her pupils slowly dilated as she gave up concentrating.

"Well, let's return. Anyway...we can't do anything to help her."

"..."

"Jiuxiao?"

Theresa looked up in confusion when she didn't hear the confirmation from the girl in front of her. However, as her eyes focused, Jiuxiao, who had been dazed for a moment, came back to his senses again, blinked his eyes and responded as if nothing had happened.

"Understood. The navigation target will not change."

"Jiuxiao, you just..."

"Hmm? Any other questions, Principal Theresa?"

824 Unregrettable Faith>>

Jiuxiao remained calm, as if he was unaware of the short few seconds of his "downtime".

"No...nothing."

In response, Theresa just frowned and didn't pay too much attention to it. She just thought that the girl in front of her was distracted for a short time because of fatigue.

"I'll ask you to tell Himeko about Shilis's whereabouts. I need to...rest for a while now."

Theresa said helplessly. She had to admit that she had overestimated her physical strength. As soon as she relaxed, she fell into a state of limpness. She even wanted to act with Shirley...

Shiris still chose to act alone, which caused her extra worries but also added hope.

After all, as a relative of Kiana, Theresa naturally wanted the girl to come back sooner. If Shirley's risk alone could bring back the girl who ran away from home, then the result would naturally be the best. After all, when has Shirley ever let everyone down?

(No choice, it seems I can only ask you for help this time

, Shirley...)

"Can you answer a question for me?"

In the imaginary space constructed by countless cubes, Kiana stood on the top of the purple tower, observing the real world separated from it through the interference force, thinking about the next action strategy.

"Regarding the counterattack plan we have formulated, it should have been made very clear during our previous discussion."

The girl's voice echoed in the empty imaginary space, adding a sense of ethereality amid the turbulent energy.

When she was deep in thought, if possible, she didn't want to pay attention to the interruption of the voice in her head.

"That's not the problem... Although I brought you the knowledge and experience of Shilis, and helped you reproduce the properties of relative energy, your understanding and mastery of different laws is a bit too fast, isn't it?"

"..."

"In less than a month, you have mastered seven different powers of the Herrscher's Laws! Moreover, the ability to enter and exit the imaginary space at will, this should be the ultimate power of the Herrscher of the Void, right? But you can copy this power 100%... No matter how you look at it, your progress speed is completely abnormal! Even if you have the blood bonus of Kaslana and Shaniyat, it shouldn't be so exaggerated..."

"..."

Lan Feng's question was exactly what had been puzzling Kiana these days. She also couldn't understand why those complicated and difficult theories of law could be understood by her the moment she came into contact with them, and she could simulate them with her own Honkai energy and activate them smoothly after a few attempts. After a few days, she could use them at will, and they had completely become her own abilities...

Kiana couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only smile bitterly and sigh.

"Maybe it's because... in the world you're in, I'm the so-called 'protagonist' of this story?"

"But isn't the protagonist of the story of Honkai that Paramecium? Ah, that's not the reason! Even if you are really gifted in the laws, you can't learn a higher power out of thin air, right? Even I have only a vague understanding of the theory of imaginary space, so where did you learn how to travel through the void?"

"..."

"Really? You don't know it yourself. Never mind. At least the result is good. With this ability, you have the capital to fight her head-on. Speaking of which, you are much stronger than before. You should not be affected by her Herrscher energy, right?"
