K424 of the Collapse World

"Although I expected this, I didn't expect... that you would actually use the power of consciousness to manipulate your family and friends! Kiana, you've pissed me off a little."

Shirley slowly raised her hands, and the fist armor on her palms suddenly glowed, extending upwards with her movements, turning into gorgeous armor covering her entire arms. At the same time, the long back skirt of the religious dress in the form of a young Herrscher seemed to shorten slightly.

"You'll do this... huh?"

As she was making her pre-war declaration, Shirley suddenly raised her head and looked at the shattered roof of the warehouse. The metal plates torn by the strong wind, the mottled sunlight shining through the broken parts, everything seemed normal...

boom----! !

But the next moment, with Xi

Liz suddenly jumped back, and the huge black shadow smashed through the metal plate above and hit the place where the girl had just stood. The extremely strong impact almost shook the entire island!

860 Void Erosion

The black shadow that fell like a meteor was actually a huge cubic metal box, which fell straight towards Shirley's head, like a precision-guided attack by an air-to-ground missile.

Seeing the silver-haired girl dodging the metal pillar as swiftly as a civet cat before it landed, Kiana had already guessed that this simple attack would not be effective. But it didn't matter, the metal box was not dropped for a direct attack...

"Long-range throwing that is beyond my ability? Humph, it seems that you were not completely unprepared before that unreliable plan~"

Standing firmly in the shock wave of the falling column, Shirley folded her hands and said. But the next moment, a stream of purple light whizzed past her and swept a strand of hair off her ear.

The silver-haired girl's pupils contracted slightly for the first time.

With her precise perception, before the purple sword touched her body, Shirley easily avoided the trajectory of the attack as if she was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, but the sword trajectory that she had already seen through hit her as if it had crossed the barrier of space.

Even though it's just a strand of silver.

"Huh? This is..."

The metal column that fell and was inserted into the ground, its outer metal shell and fixings had fallen off at some point and were scattered randomly on the broken ground, leaving only a light golden square base.

The contents of the metal box were already held in Kiana's hand...

It was a strange sword-shaped weapon, the handle was a highly complex precision mechanical structure, the deformed electrodes and exposed cables all indicated that it was an unfinished experimental product. The blade was a double-helix purple column, curved around the indigo blade in the middle, and the two-meter-long blade and heavy shape made it look like a strange heavy sword.

At first glance, this color combination gave Shilis an inexplicably familiar feeling...

"Drink!!"

Without giving Shirley more time to observe, the girl raised the purple alien giant sword in her hand high and chopped it down vertically towards Shirley in front of her. As she launched the chop, the deformed spiral blade shot out like a ray of light, forcibly crossing the original distance of the chop, allowing the extended abstract sword edge to crush down from Shirley's head!

The next moment, the roar of metal clashing resounded through the air. Shiris crossed her hands in front of her and used her fist armor to block the falling purple giant blade.

"Well?!"

But then, the terrifying pressure from the twisted blade caused cracks to appear on Shirley's golden fist armor. The energy that lost its stable state began to dissipate and was repelled by the dark purple spiral blade, like sparks flying wildly when a circular saw cuts metal...

There is no doubt that whether it is the strange transformation of this weapon or the effect of ignoring the holder's own strength and suddenly increasing its power, it requires energy support.

However, this is a blockade space formed by high-concentration constrained energy. Although it is not an absolute constraint law, with this output rate, only the full-strength burst of the Herrscher level can temporarily break through the shackles of the constraint and exert its effect. Even the Key of God can hardly do the same thing.

However, this inexplicable purple alien sword seemed to be unaffected by the restraining force at all. Kiana released that special power to the fullest, completely breaking the rules of the battlefield!

Sizzle——!!

The golden fist armor suddenly blossomed, and the scattered light particles reconstructed in an instant, transforming into interlocking golden chains, wrapping up the purple blade that was instantly chopped down after losing its resistance, and fixing it in mid-air.

The purple blade paused slightly, and the downward pressure suddenly increased exponentially. Realizing this, Shilis pulled the chain in her hand sideways, and the extended blade lost its original trajectory and quickly slid down from the girl's shoulder.

860 Void Erosion>>

Shirley quickly took a step back, holding the chain wrapped around the blade with both hands, and the stalemate lasted, preventing Kiana from retracting the extended spiral sword blade.

"Tsk..."

On Shiris's shoulder, three shallow bloodstains were imprinted on the surface of her skin. The extended sword blade that had just slashed past her shoulder, at the last moment of its trajectory, the sword wind that was supposed to be dispersed vertically, split into three strands and passed by horizontally! It slashed through her Herrscher's spiritual outfit at lightning speed, leaving three scars.

Rules interfere...?

The high-speed slashing blow compresses the air to form a vacuum, and the airflow that fills the air forward forms a sharp wind blade. The so-called sword energy in martial arts is based on this principle.

However, the mist that was supposed to move forward in the direction of the vacuum was deflected to the side...

(No... it's not interference, it's erosion! Erosion from another dimension...)

As a smile appeared on the girl's cold face, she realized why this color made her feel familiar.

"I remember that the energy precipitation structure in the imaginary space is this color, right?"

"..."

"If there is any energy other than the power of the end,

The only thing that the constraint law cannot interfere with is probably the energy that "does not belong to this universe". And the only thing we can touch is the imaginary space on the other half of the axis. "

Shirley suddenly swung the chain, and the pulled purple blade slashed to the right. The reaction force acting on the chain turned into a centrifugal force in a positive spiral, pulling more chains towards the blade.

Faced with this strange phenomenon, Shirley loosened the restraining chains as if she had been prepared, allowing them to be completely wrapped around the purple blade, and her fists were covered with crystal-like golden fist armor again.

"The rules of the imaginary space are incompatible with reality. As long as the creations of the imaginary space maintain their original properties, they will not be constrained by the real space and will gain infinite plasticity in the unlimited plane... Am I right?"

The purple cube floating in the imaginary space will not lose its buoyancy and fall under the constraints of Shilis. It can be said that the gravity that is taken for granted in the real world does not exist in the imaginary space at all. Instead, there is another completely different rule. This is the difference in the plane itself.

"Humph, you were able to obtain a complete unit of imaginary space matter, and you also used technological equipment to maintain its inherent properties and tamper with the rules. This would not be possible without the help of the Herrscher of the Void and top scientists. I have to say, I'm starting to get a little curious. How many people have you controlled to become your puppets?"

Watching Kiana's sword blade shrink again and turn back into a regular double-spiral straight sword, Shiris took another step and walked towards Kiana who was ready for battle without hesitation.

Indeed, the products from the imaginary space can resist the effect of the constraint law, arbitrarily distort the rules of reality, and cause all kinds of strange phenomena that are difficult to control. However, under the self-healing power of the rules, the erosion effect and range of a mere two-meter-long piece of void matter are extremely limited.

As long as she knows the range, this weapon will not pose any threat to her.

"You should know that this experimental toy can't do anything to me. Your finale prop should still be the so-called Naraku Chain, right?"

Looking at the approaching Shirley, Kiana clenched the imaginary sword in her hand, connected the active imaginary energy crystal with her mind, and the rotating supernatural structure became distorted again...

"You'll see soon enough, sister."

861 abnormal sound

As an unknown battle intensifies, the Far East Branch's communications base is thrown into chaos by a sudden situation...

"Report! A large number of Houkai beasts have been spotted gathering near the Far East Blue Ring Islands!"

"The Northern Observatory has detected a Houkai energy reaction, with a concentration of about 770 hw. It is expected to be an emperor-level lightning blade..."

"This is the A-7 Research Department. There has been a large-scale migration of deep-sea Houkai beasts in the Pacific Ocean! The moving target is estimated to be in the direction of the far east and southwest sea... No! The direction of movement has suddenly changed!"

"Is Captain Penglai Temple here?! I am Fina, the A-level Valkyrie at the 714th outpost in the harbor area. I have an emergency to report..."

"..."

All of a sudden, a huge amount of communication report information was fed into the Far East's communication intelligence station. These emergency events that occurred almost simultaneously overwhelmed the communication department's personnel, and most of the content was closely related to the collapse, so there was no room for slackness.

"Damn it... at this time again!"

Theresa raised her fist with impatience, but she didn't hit it on the sophisticated terminal table in the end. She began to check the emergency reports one by one. Theresa, who was already in the Intelligence Department at the moment, could directly check these emergency reports without the assistance of staff to receive and transmit them.

However, she has been concentrating on investigating the imaginary space for two consecutive days, and she is already exhausted. I am afraid that she will find it difficult to perform the duties of the branch chief...

"The port on the outskirts of Canghai City, the beach east of Harahanamachi, and..."

Checking the distance to the source of the Honkai in the Far East Continent, Theresa gently pressed her temples, forcing those tiny characters into her bloodshot eyes, and thinking about the action steps to defeat the Honkai.

"Theresa, multiple Houkai incidents have been detected near the branch..."

"I already know! Immediately put the base into emergency combat readiness and assemble the Valkyrie troops!"

Before Ji Zi in the communication video could finish her words, Theresa gave an impatient order to turn the branch base into a strict steel fortress again.

In just a few months, they had entered emergency preparedness status for countless times. The Far East Branch of the Mandate of Heaven, which was originally far away from the flames of war, had suddenly become the center of the vortex of disaster...

"...Listen to me first! Theresa, the actions of these Honkai beasts seem to follow some kind of instructions. They are much less aggressive towards creatures and facilities than usual. They are just repeating irregular movements. It is obvious that they are controlled by higher-level creatures! I guess it may be..."

"In that case, the overall command of the base's military will be temporarily handed over to you, Jizi."

Listening to Ji Zi's voice on the other end of the line, Theresa suddenly interrupted, closed all the information windows as if to vent, and stood up from her chair.

Up.

"Eh? Theresa...?"

"Don't worry about it, Jizi. You are more suitable to command the operation than me now. Just treat me as an ordinary Valkyrie and give orders."

Picking up the Oath of Judas leaning against the right wall, Theresa rubbed her eyes. The fatigue accumulated in her eyes was completely dispelled by a sharp scarlet color.

Even though long hours of work caused mental fatigue, Theresa still retained the basic combat power of an S-class Valkyrie.

At this moment, Ji Zi's voice came from the communication again.

"Theresa, don't worry! We have made new discoveries from the outpost. Those Honkai beasts basically won't attack actively. They will just keep wandering around, as if they are just trying to lure us..."

"It doesn't matter. No matter what they want to do... As long as the Honkai dare to gather in the Far East, they must be eliminated! Give the order quickly, Jizi. Which area of ​​Honkai should I go to clear?"

"I've already told you not to rush... Never mind, let's first clear out the Honkai beasts approaching the city! Theresa, go support the expeditionary force in Canghai City and wipe them all out before the Honkai beasts reach the coastal defense zone of the Far East Self-Defense Force."

"Got it~!"

After finally receiving Ji Zi's order, Theresa gave up thinking and turned into a berserker, rushing out of the studio and heading straight for the Valkyrie team that had temporarily joined.

What Theresa didn't know was that shortly after her communication device was turned off, the red-haired woman in the command center frowned and her eyes quickly turned gloomy.

861 abnormal sound>>

On the light screen in front of Jizi, there was a list of the names of the Valkyries who were absent after the emergency assembly of the Valkyrie Corps.

"Diana Kaslana, Raiden Mei, Fu Hua, Bronya Zajicek, Seele Freya..."

Reading the name on the light screen to herself, Ji Zi's expression had never been as solemn as it was today.

The entire Herrscher team of Saint Freya, including the special Valkyrie Fu Hua and Seer with complete stigmata, had disappeared before the gathering!

There is not a single irrelevant person, but these girls who possess special powers... Herrscher-level beings who can command Honkai.

Ji Zi pressed her forehead; the excessive shock caused her to fall into a brief state of unconsciousness.

The girls who mastered the power of Honkai disappeared collectively, and abnormal Honkai followed... Thinking of these two things, Ji Zi subconsciously thought of a possibility, but in the next moment she threw away the terrible guess in her mind!

No...that's absolutely impossible!

They are indeed Herrschers, but they are also students and comrades whom she deeply trusts... At any time and under any circumstances, Himeko will never doubt this, nor is she willing to actively doubt this.

(But if...)

Frightened by her own thoughts, Ji Zi adjusted her breathing and once again connected to the combat command channel.

"Attention all units, the action begins!"

The Far East Base was in a state of complete martial law and preparedness, with everyone doing their part and preparing for the upcoming battle.

But at this moment, in the inner cabin of an underground passage of the Far East Research Department, the purple-haired girl curled up in a dark corner, avoiding her two responsibilities...

"Please don't... call me again."

Feeling the appeal from her soul and facing the order that she would never disobey under normal circumstances, Benares just tightened her body even more and buried her head tightly between her knees. She knew very well what the order from the young master meant.

As a follower, she shouldn't have served two Herrschers at the same time, but those two were fragments of the same soul...

Since they come from the same person, why do they fight each other?

I don't know, I totally don't understand...

She could not obey either Kiana or Shiris to attack the other, nor was she willing to accept the wide-area order to launch a feint attack on the Far East Branch's base. The invading Honkai beasts were controlled by Kiana, and she could not fulfill her duties as a member of the Far East Branch to attack the other followers of her master.

In the end, I couldn't do anything...

"I'm sorry, Lady Kiana... Sister Theresa..."

The girl sobbed softly, ignoring the call of her soul and the alarm in her ears, and let herself be completely submerged in the darkness.

But at this moment, a long-lost voice sounded in front of him without any warning.

"I didn't expect you to be confused by something like this..."

"......Eh?"

Benares raised his head subconsciously and saw the slender figure that appeared in front of him at some point, and his pupils contracted instantly.

"You...you are?!"

With an expression of astonishment that could not be concealed, Benares stretched out his hand towards the person in front of him, but caught nothing. The distance between them seemed to be just a few feet away, but it seemed to be extended infinitely.

Several times the general, can not be touched at all...

The next moment, Benares's gaze froze as he watched the other party gently take his hand.

"At this point, should I say long time no see? Never mind, that's about it."
