K424 of the Collapse World

When escaping from the imaginary space, Kiana didn't think too much. Taking Diana away was not to use the space to block Shirley's actions. In her eyes, facing the omnipotent sister Shirley, Kiana didn't think that the other party would be restricted by the mere boundary of time and space.

Let alone whether she has mastered the laws of space, just looking at the grip that broke through the shackles of space just now is enough to prove that Shiris herself has the ability to interfere with space, and her physical strength is so strong that it cannot be surpassed...

Although the unstable turbulence of time and space can hurt her body, you have to know that even the soul steel, the core technology of the previous civilization era, cannot pass through the time and space tunnel as relatively intact as she does.

So... before Shilis returns to the real world, she must finish what she has to do as soon as possible. For example, she must explain the reason for all this to Diana and even more people!

"Honkai...Control?"

When hearing Kiana's declaration, the other silver-haired girl who was looking at her froze in expression, and unsurprisingly, showed a look of confusion.

However, before she could ask her question, the sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor made the girl's heart move, and she focused her attention in the direction of the door...

"Is anyone in the room?"

Following the knock on the door, a voice that seemed to be that of the dormitory manager came from behind the door. Apparently, the noise of the fight and conversation that had just happened had come from this room that was supposed to be empty.

With the unexpected visitor, the two girls fell silent at the same time. Diana knew very well that since Kiana left the base, her room had been temporarily blocked by the management. And she was able to enter here just to find a secluded place to travel through the imaginary space, so she used her ability to pass through the wall next door. Now, they came back here and attracted the attention of others. From Kiana's point of view, this was obviously not a good thing...

Now, Diana has two choices.

The first was to shout for help, asking the administrator who came to check the situation to sound the alarm, and then try to delay Kiana's actions and mobilize the entire

The Far East Base used its power to arrest the sister who had escaped without permission.

The second option is to do nothing, wait for the manager to leave, and continue to listen to Kiana's explanation. The topic raised by the other party has aroused her curiosity. If, as Kiana said, the person controlled by Honkai is not her, but another person in the Far East Branch. Then, will the truth of all this, as well as the reason why she defected from the Far East Branch before, and the motivation for a series of actions afterwards, be revealed here?

Should we punish the betrayer or listen to the truth?

However, while Diana was still hesitating, there was a slight sound of a key chain coming from the door not far away. Then, with the sound of the lock turning, the slightly dusty door lock was gently opened, and the two of them in the room were exposed to the light of the corridor!

(It seems there is no choice...)

Looking at the Valkyrie standing behind the door, Diana took a deep breath and began to think about how to explain the situation to the guard and prevent Kiana from escaping again.

However, just as she gathered her strength and prepared to attack, the Valkyrie standing at the door frowned slightly, and her expression became confused at the same time.

841 Promoter>>

"Eh? I clearly heard a sound just now..."

The Valkyrie walked slowly into the apartment, her eyes scanning the room, ignoring the two silver-haired girls standing together in the middle of the living room, and just ignored them, carefully checking every corner of the other rooms...

"How is this going?"

As Diana stared in astonishment, the Valkyrie who came to check walked straight past her without even noticing the sound she made involuntarily.

"Hmm? That seems to be..."

The next moment, Diana suddenly noticed that around the dim room, there were faint flashes of feather-shaped purple spots.

At this moment, as if seeing through the confusion in her heart, Kiana thought for a moment and spoke softly.

"Yes, I used my power to interfere with the consciousness of this Valkyrie lady, causing her to subjectively block the pheromones related to the two of us."

"Is this...?"

"No, this is not Yu Duchen. It is still imitating Bronya's consciousness. Because of Fu Hua's influence, when we manipulate the laws of consciousness, we habitually transform energy into the shape of feathers. Don't worry about it."

While Kiana was explaining, the Valkyrie in charge of management had already checked every room in the apartment. She walked out of the room with a puzzled look on her face and locked the door again.

"This is weird... I clearly heard the noise, could it be that it was actually in another room?"

As the administrator's muttering slowly faded away in the corridor, Kiana let go of Diana's wrist, her calm eyes without a trace of emotion.

"Now, let's continue with the topic we were discussing. In your opinion, why did I leave the Far East Branch?"

At the same time, in a sea area thousands of miles away from the Far East Branch, the huge Lord Honkai Beast cut through the huge waves, leading a large number of subordinate Honkai Beasts, wandering aimlessly on the ocean.

High in the sky, two figures stood in the clouds, looking down at the herd of Honkai beasts roaming below.

Fu Hua, who took on the mission alone, and Bronya, who joined the team later, have already arrived at the target's location. At this moment, although they are carefully observing the target's actions and seem to be designating a strategy, in fact, for any of them, this extremely dangerous emperor-level Honkai beast is just a minion that can be killed in the blink of an eye.

The content of the discussion between the two was something completely unrelated to the crusade mission...

"Bronya is willing to believe in Sister Kiana, but what does the class monitor think?"

Looking at the gray-haired girl who had been silent for a long time, Bronya rubbed her hands nervously, waiting for the response from her companions.

Summoning up her courage, she finally chose Fu Hua to tell the secrets she had learned. Whether it was to save the two who were going their separate ways, or to save the hidden dangers of the collapse behind Shirley, she needed more help to make the truth of Kiana's defection known to the public...

If Fu Huayuan believed in what she said, then with her say in Destiny and Anti-Entropy, this plan would be half successful!

"The will of Honkai hidden in her heart..."

After pondering for a long time, Fu Hua slowly muttered to herself. The gleam of light that flashed across her eyes seemed to answer the question that had puzzled her for a long time. However, her pupils became more and more solemn, as if she realized something more terrible...

The strangeness that Fu Hua had noticed from Shirley not long ago, combined with the information provided by Bronya, a terrible guess appeared deep in Fu Hua's mind.

"The truth of this matter may not be as simple as you know, Bronya..."

"..."

"But because of this, I will never stand idly by!"

842 Stagnation

In the southern part of the North American continent, outside the ocean defense line set up by the Anti-Entropy Organization in the Caribbean Sea, a floating transport ship from the South American branch of the Destiny Organization was hovering there, surrounded by Anti-Entropy frigates, waiting for the next instruction from the upper level.

"Your Excellency..."

Amid the slightly awkward call, Rita operated the terminal hesitantly and connected to Otto's communicator on the battleship deck, trying to ask the bishop for instructions on the next course of action.

"What should we do now? What happened to Miss Hillis? Should we continue with her commission? Moreover, according to the previous agreement with Anti-Entropy, this transport ship was operating in the name of Miss Hillis. Now that she is not here, our right to act in the Anti-Entropy area..."

Although Rita did not see the scene of the incident directly, she witnessed what happened a few minutes ago through the monitoring equipment of the ship and aircraft, that is, the scene where Shiris tore open a space crack with her bare hands and walked in calmly.

As the figure of the silver-haired woman was swallowed by the crack in space, the vortex-shaped halo that stretched to the limit above the hull dissipated, and the huge amount of restraint energy that was scattered in the air was also sucked back into the interior of the Key of God under Otto's control. When everything was over, the golden glow on the surface of the Judah Oath turned back into a dim purple metal, and the fluctuation of the Herrscher's energy completely disappeared...

Obviously, after Shiris, who used herself as the core of the Key of God, left this area, the constraint key connected to her also lost its effectiveness and turned back into an inert solid soul steel like ordinary iron.

"My Lord Bishop, Anti-Entropy has sent a communication request, saying that the leader of Anti-Entropy wants to talk directly with Miss Shilis. How should we handle this?"

"Oh......"

"Should we disclose the news of Miss Hillis's disappearance to Anti-Entropy? Or should our communications personnel hold off for now and find a way to find Miss Hillis as soon as possible?"

Listening to Rita's anxious report, the doll-like blonde girl responded perfunctorily while leaning against the base of the huge cross in a daze. However, in the eyes of this soul steel prosthesis, data information streams were constantly flashing, as if some high-speed calculations were being performed.

After a pause of a few seconds, she chuckled and shook her head.

"Unfortunately, the detection systems and satellite monitoring available to the branches of the Mandate of Heaven could not find any special reaction of the restraining force. It seems that Miss Shiris has left this space layer in some way, at least for now. Well... With the current technological strength of the Mandate of Heaven, it may be quite difficult to track her dimensional coordinates in a short time."

Miss Doll spoke casually, as if she didn't care much about the current situation. And the fact is that Otto, who has multiple different cyborgs, has many urgent matters to deal with before accepting Shirley's commission. Besides, in his opinion, the negotiation with Anti-Entropy is not a troublesome matter.

"Then, Your Excellency, how should we deal with this matter..."

"It's very simple. Just share the intelligence we have with our allies in Anti-Entropy, and then follow Hillis's last instructions to go to the Anti-Entropy Base. Don't worry about anything else. After all, Miss Hillis's disappearance was caused by her own subjective actions, and we can also produce corresponding video evidence for this."

When Shiris was tracking Kiana, the transport ship of Destiny was only accompanying her as a search assistant, and was not obliged to be responsible for the subjective behavior of the client. Moreover, according to the original plan, they would jointly hunt down Kiana Kaslana after joining forces with Anti-Entropy. Now, after an unexpected force majeure, Destiny naturally did not have to bear any responsibility...

Rita could understand this simple truth. But she didn't understand why Otto chose to stop when Heaven's Will could provide more help. If Kiana's whereabouts were not important, and Otto just treated Shirley's commission as an ordinary task, then why was he, as the archbishop, willing to personally participate in the work of the Valkyrie in the first place?

Even as a professional Valkyrie who obeys orders absolutely, Rita has long been accustomed to thinking while working. Until just now, she thought that the disappearance of Kiana Kaslana was directly related to an important plan of Destiny, which is why Otto took it so seriously.

842 Stagnation Situation >>

Although Rita could not see the whole picture of Otto's plan, she could usually guess most of it during the execution. However, this time, she was completely confused about what this fuss-making search operation was all about.

"Anyway, Rita Rossweisse, you are one of my most trusted Valkyries. You will be in charge of the subsequent negotiations with Anti-Entropy. This should be a very easy job for you, right?"

"I understand... Your Excellency the Bishop."

"That's it. I have other things to deal with. Next, I will cut off the connection with the Soul Steel Prosthesis. Remember to recover the deck afterwards.

The Eleventh God's Key and this artificial body."

"As ordered."

Leaving behind these words, the blonde doll girl said no more. As the light in her eyes quietly faded away, she leaned against the cross as if she was asleep, slowly lowered her head, and became completely still.

"..."

The next moment, the communication image was also interrupted. Looking at the terminal interface showing the signal termination, Rita calmed down, adjusted her breathing slightly, and then transferred the communication signal from Anti-Entropy.

"This is the Fateful Floating Ship Gray Dove - FM9142. I am the captain and commander, Rita Rossweisse. Following the order of your executor, Silis Kaslana, I am heading to the North American region to conduct a search."

Looking at the unknown commander who appeared on the other side of the light screen, Rita declared this at a slightly faster speed, directly revealing her purpose and identity. And the negotiator on the other side also responded quickly to her words.

"Received. This is the Anti-Entropy Sentinel Bureau. I am here on behalf of the Fifth Corps of the Anti-Entropy Coastal Defense Force in Cuba to welcome you, distinguished guests of Destiny."

Different from their attitude during the previous confrontation, the representative of the Anti-Entropy Force responded very politely and went straight to the point.

"We have received a notice that Mr. Walter wants to discuss the details of the joint operation with the client, Miss Hillis Kaslana. I wonder if you can transfer Miss Hillis's communication to him?"

Anti-Entropy's request was not surprising. As a core member of the Anti-Entropy Organization, Hillis organized and launched the cooperation action, so naturally she should be responsible for the matters after the two sides met. But now, the original client was temporarily missing due to some accidents, and Rita could only follow Otto's instructions and tell the other party the whole story.

"Actually, about this matter..."

In a room in the Anti-Entropy headquarters building, the brown-haired man looked at the latest report with a serious expression and frowned.

"Even Iselin is missing..."

"Yes! The alarm system detected a Houkai energy intrusion reaction near Dr. Iselin's laboratory! After checking the surveillance, we confirmed that Dr. Iselin has disappeared!"

The subordinate in charge of reporting responded in a deep voice, with a hint of barely perceptible panic in his anxious tone.

Indeed... As a special organization that fights against Honkai, it was invaded by enemies that looked like Honkai creatures. It was normal for those insiders who knew the dangers of Honkai to feel panic.

"I already know... In addition, how is the reception work going on the Tianming side? Has anyone contacted Shilis's terminal?"

But in response to this, Walter just responded lightly, and then calmly started another topic.

In the previous contact, he had already learned from Shiris about Kiana's invasion capabilities. Now that the troops of Tianming have arrived, they are also going to start the next round of discussions, which was a job that had been scheduled in advance.

But the correspondent's expression seemed to become even uglier in response to this simple question.

"According to the reply from the Destiny Party... Miss Shilis seems to have accidentally entered a space crack while activating the Key of God, and her current whereabouts are unknown..."

"—?!"

843 The Man Staring into the Void

Shilis accidentally entered the space crack and her whereabouts are unknown?

When Walter heard the news, he was indeed shocked for a moment.

First, Kiana lost control due to the collapse, and now even Shirley herself disappeared in the pursuit. This is really bad news. However, listening to the communicator's continued report, he also began to understand that Shirley took the initiative to open and enter the space crack in order to pursue Kiana...

After a brief communication exchange, the Destiny transport ship entered the port under the escort of the Anti-Entropy Force. Walter personally went to the forward base in Cuba and met with the commander of this Destiny Force.

"That is to say... this is not actually an accident, but an action plan that Shilis planned in advance, right?"

In the reception room of the branch base, Walter stared into the eyes of the brown-haired Valkyrie and asked the question that concerned him most.

Not to mention Shirley, even Iselin, who holds the core of the Herrscher of Reason and is the successor of Anti-Entropy, was involved. The series of events triggered by Kiana's disappearance is no longer a simple missing persons search for Anti-Entropy.

The two most core executors disappeared at the same time, and Kiana Kaslana was undoubtedly the most suspicious. In this regard, Walter couldn't help but think that Anti-Entropy might also issue a formal wanted order...

"According to the bishop's speculation, it is possible that Miss Shilis's actions were planned in advance, but the space fault that occurred at that time was an emergency. We cannot guarantee Miss Shilis's current safety."

Facing the solemn Anti-Entropy Leader, Rita answered calmly that with Otto's early departure, the title of the commander-in-chief of the operation fell on her, although Otto had already stated that she would be fully responsible.

, but faced with this situation, Rita was still somewhat at a loss...

Although she had countless command experiences and had carried out many negotiation missions, it was the first time for Rita to represent the entire Destiny Organization and talk directly with the leader of the Anti-Entropy Organization.

"..."

After saying this, Rita paused for a moment, looked at Walter who remained silent, and added again.

"Mr. Walter, although Miss Shilis herself is currently missing, the agreement she made with Destiny as an anti-entropy executor is still valid. My mission is to assist in the search for Kiana's whereabouts. If there are any incidents related to this, we can also work together."

"In other words, Tianming is still willing to assist in the search for the missing persons involved in this incident?"

“That’s exactly what we’re doing here.”

Hearing Rita's assurance, Walter's frown eased a little. To relocate the three missing people, the search range may cover the entire world. Under this premise, although the strength of this Immortal Blade team is just a drop in the bucket, and the real purpose may not be so simple, their assistance can be regarded as representing the attitude of Destiny.

Although the two long-time hostile organizations reached a reconciliation under the influence of Shirley, in fact, it is difficult to truly eliminate the grudges left in the past. It is very rare for the Destiny Organization to express goodwill at this time...

"That's fine. First, I need all the information your terminal has collected since Shirley's operation began. Is that ok?"

"As you wish, Mr. Alliance Leader."

Just as Rita was treading on thin ice to meet with the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, Otto, who had severed the connection with his Soul Steel prosthetic consciousness midway, had now returned to his original body at the Destiny Headquarters, and was spying on the scene of the meeting through the video records fed back by the Moon Soul Armor.
