K424 of the Collapse World

The shadowy girl had become so faint that she was translucent, but she still calmly controlled the gradually depleting energy of the laws, and did not let this war of attrition end hastily until the very end.

"How pitiful... You don't even realize that you are just looking for excuses to satisfy your desire to fight."

"Whatever you say, once I crush your hypocritical shadow, your real body won't be around for much longer!"

Looking at the silver-haired woman's eyes burning with golden flames, the phantom sighed helplessly. The next moment, in front of Shilis's slightly surprised eyes, she suddenly gave up the control of all her energy, allowing the huge power of the law to rush in and engulf her weak energy body.

"Well... since my disappearance is the only way for you to take the next step, then I'll do as you wish."

When she said this, the shadowy girl smiled.

"but--"

"I wonder if you can still remember why you stepped into this void?"

The twelfth law is the law of erosion.

It has no real body and can be called an ultimate virus with consciousness. The collapse can corrode the ultimate power. It can infect not only living things, but also objects. It can attach itself to matter and manipulate the corroded dead objects like a puppet. It can also sneak into the virtual electronic world and move through the network connection, infecting human computers and all intelligent electronic devices like an electronic virus...

Compared to some "Herrsers of a Thousand" who only have the title of domination, it is no exaggeration to call the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion the true power of domination.

If the coming of the Ruler of Constraint is to make those humans who have invaded theocracy and used Honkai to fight Honkai play with fire and get burned; then the coming of the Ruler of Corrosion is to make the original technological power of civilization developed to the extreme suffer the consequences of its own actions - just like in the last era of civilization, the nuclear weapons used to destroy Honkai were completely controlled by the Ruler of Corrosion overnight, burying the entire era with mankind's own technological weapons.

The power of Honkai will increase with the power of civilization, and the advent of the Herrscher of Corrosion has undoubtedly confirmed this. However, in the current era of 2018, when technological power has not yet reached saturation, the Herrscher of Corrosion

Will the strength of the ?

Swah——

The pitch-black particle sickle slashed across the huge steel body, cutting through the alloy shield of the cruiser mecha as easily as a hot knife cutting into a block of butter, instantly turning the powerful elite mecha into a pile of steel garbage glowing with electric arcs.

Hill held the sickle solemnly, and heard the explosions and screams from the medical department. She ignored them and chopped off another out-of-control mecha that rushed in. Although the power of the Herrscher of Death was not good at dealing with non-living enemies, the Herrscher-level energy intensity was enough for her to crush these controlled mechas.

Around her, there was a layer of mecha's "broken bodies".

However, facing these defeated enemies, the blue-haired girl still tightly grasped the energy scythe in her hand, her eyes fixed on the mechanical wreckage...

——Ka La

Just as her expression showed vigilance, several cables and fragments scattered on the ground suddenly twisted strangely, and started moving again driven by some force, dragging the broken wreckage around them to gather together again, twisting these mechanical corpses into a whole, and surrounding the blue-haired girl again.

In modern times when technological power has not yet reached saturation, will the power of the Herrscher be reduced?

The answer is no

918 Destiny Decision

"... Above, please convey the order immediately, Doctor."

At the underground headquarters of the ME Club at the Changkong Base, Raiden Ryoma gently rubbed his temples, and after a long period of contemplation, he gave this order to the blue-haired girl in front of him.

The Anti-Entropy Headquarters and the Far East Branch of the Destiny came under unknown attack, and all communications were interrupted within five minutes, including the satellite images fed back by the Far East Branch, which also lost the connection signal at the same time, leaving only snowflakes all over the screen.

However, after mobilizing the power of the Herrscher to completely blockade the two bases, Iselin still tried her best to contact another major base in the Far East, ME Company, and briefly summarized the sudden disaster.

Raiden Ryoma, the "mastermind" whose identity was exposed during the questioning of Shirley's clone, is still the leader of ME and has issued orders. After all, being labeled a traitor is just a superficial statement to the outside world. As a group that has an affair with Kiana, the other senior executives of ME know the truth of this matter.

Therefore, after receiving Iselin's message, Einstein had to temporarily put aside Shirley's threat and return Yu Duchen's sealed memory to Raiden Ryoma in advance, allowing the actual leader to make a decision.

The Anti-Entropy Headquarters and the Far East Branch of Destiny were attacked by the Corrosion Herrscher, but were imprisoned by Iselin with her own Herrscher power, temporarily losing the ability to spread - this was basically the information from the headquarters. The brief description and the panicked tone of the parties involved were enough to prove the extreme urgency of the situation.

After regaining the correct memory, Raiden Ryoma only needed to sort out the situation a little bit. Then, after three minutes of hesitation, the senior executive of Anti-Entropy finally made the following decision:

Any support to the Far East Branch and Headquarters is prohibited, and special forces are dispatched to assist Iselin in blocking the two areas to prevent all inward and outward flow of Honkai energy!

That's right! The cruel plan of sealing off the two closed bases and locking up the Herrschers and their victims together, as if to watch them all being slaughtered by the Herrschers, was a decision that Raiden Ryoma made after careful consideration.

Anti-Entropy was not completely ignorant of the Herrscher of Corrosion. Long before the three major organizations signed the contract, Anti-Entropy had found this part of information from the remaining documents of the previous civilization era, including the general ability of the Herrscher of Corrosion and the way to destroy the surface of the earth, which were clearly recorded. After the Herrscher of Time incident, Anti-Entropy obtained more detailed information about the Herrscher of Corrosion from the World Serpent and had a clearer understanding of this terrible enemy.

This ultimate virus, whose true form is completely unknown, can transform the corroded object into its own in just a moment. If it is allowed to spread, the consequences will be disastrous! If there is no targeted method, even the same Herrscher is doomed to be helpless against it.

Without restrictions, it would take the Herrscher of Fire about a week to turn Australia into a sea of ​​fire; but the Herrscher of Corrosion in an unbridled state would probably only take a few minutes to turn everything on the surface into nothingness!

Whether it is advanced technology to fight against Houkai, or the legacy of human internal struggles, or the Houkai seedlings scattered in every corner of the world, they will erode the best weapons of the Herrscher.

Iselin is well aware of this, which is why she tried her best to block the space of the two bases and delay the Herrscher of Corrosion within the range of the Honkai outbreak at all costs.

However, this is only a temporary solution. The message that Iselin sent to the outside world at the end is the key to solving the problem. At this point, she can only believe that the leader of the ME Society who holds great power can make the right choice and resolve the crisis of eroding the Herrscher. After all, as an executor, Raiden Ryoma has always been a rare rational person in the entire Anti-Entropy, and is obviously trustworthy in such an emergency.

And the fact proved that she had a good eye for people. After much hesitation, Thunder Horse did make the most rational and reasonable judgment.

No matter what fate the victim will meet, the most important thing now is to preserve what is left!

"I understand... the byproduct of the Chain of Naraku, the Soul Steel Chain Force Field Device can just block the flow of Houkai energy on a large scale. It should be set up in time while Miss Iselin maintains the barrier."

Einstein hesitated for a moment, but nodded immediately. Unlike Tesla, Einstein's overall view was enough to suppress his emotional impulse and make the right choice in a dilemma.

Even if it might mean sacrificing everything she values.

"Well, you are responsible for the blockade of the two erosion areas. I will negotiate with Destiny and the World Serpent to let them understand the situation and assist us in dealing with the Herrscher of Erosion."

The black-haired man sat in front of the terminal's screen, and suddenly clenched his teeth, his expression obscured by the glare of his glasses. But these unwavering words no longer required any doubt about his determination.

918 Destiny Decision>>

What Shiris said was right. The manipulator behind the collapse could not help but interfere with the chess game of this era. If the previous abnormal collapse could be said to be a coincidence, then the twelfth collapse that broke out without any signs at the Anti-Entropy Headquarters was enough to prove the existence of the observer.

(Ironically, Shilis, who proposed this view, has now also fallen into this abyss...)

Gripping the computer controller tightly, Thunder Horse started the communication page expressionlessly. But just as he was about to find the channels of the two organizations, an emergency communication from inside directly opened a floating window, covering the original page.

"It's bad, President! Mei-san, Bronya Zajcek, and Seele Freya broke into the airport, activated a sonic vehicle, and left the base!"

"What did you say--?!"

Raiden Ryoma cried out in disbelief, his face immediately turning pale. After what just happened, he could guess with his toes what the three Herrscher girls were going to do.

"Based on the direction they left, their destination should be Canghai City or Saint Freya..."

"Send out the Shadow Chaser troops immediately. Use the prototype anti-Honkai weapons. We must not let those three bastards get close to the Far East Branch's waters!"

Giving the order in a rage, Raiden Ryoma almost jumped up from his chair, holding his terminal and rushing to the command center of the base building. At this point, he could no longer hide and issue orders, and had to hurry to a more efficient command center.

Einstein was stunned for a moment, and immediately chased after him with a serious face. Even though the situation in the outside world was still unclear, the drastic changes in the Far East could obviously not be hidden from those powerful Herrscher girls.

If they try to break into the energy blockade, they will most likely destroy Iselin's seal and release the terrifying Herrscher of Corrosion...

This matter was obviously very serious, and stopping those girls was the most important thing now. But for some reason, Einstein dialed the unanswered terminals of Mei and the others, and although he was waiting anxiously, he felt a different kind of expectation.

Just like those unimagined miracles, will things...take a turn for the better?

Apparently, just a hundred years of time is not enough to erase the weakness of human nature...

·————————————·

The straight metal passage was twisted like a crumpled toothpaste box. The broken lighting tubes and cables were twisted together, like the blood vessels of a steel monster, trembling under the squeezing of the metal.

The living metal layers continued to collapse inwards, rushing madly towards the tiny two people in the center. After discovering that the super electromagnetic field was ineffective, these metal layers controlled by will used the simplest method to try to bury the two leaders of anti-entropy here...

Crunch, crunch——!!

However, even if the entire channel collapsed, it was unable to break through the defense of the dark red energy. The will to manipulate the metal never stopped, stubbornly and futilely squeezing the force field wall of the Star of Eden, and even pressing the square channel into a closed spherical shape.

The distant sirens never stopped, but the screams of the victims could no longer be heard.

Walter maintained the Star of Eden, and Iselin knelt silently beside him. Now that the message had been successfully sent, she was no longer able to send it in such a dangerous way, so she completely blocked the gap in the seal and concentrated on maintaining the blockade.

Iselin currently had no idea how to destroy the invisible and intangible Herrscher. Perhaps she could use her Herrscher ability to calculate the essence of the Herrscher, but she obviously didn't have the energy to do so now, and she even had to be protected by Walter to stay safe.

At least for now, we can only hope from the outside world...

-

Soon, as the surroundings fell into complete silence, it seemed that the end of this base had been announced.

"Iselin."

At this moment, Walter took a deep breath. He found that increasingly dark threads quietly emerged on the twisted metal wall, vaguely forming a huge black shadow of a human figure, projected on the surface of the elliptical metal layer. The empty black double holes on the head of the shadow seemed to be aimed at his eyes.

"It seems that it is ready to focus on us..."

919 Herrscher of Corrosion

What is the difference between humans and beasts? There is no fixed answer to this question. Whether it is appearance, intelligence, or the ability to create and use tools, these obvious differences are enough to completely divide carbon-based organisms with the same structure into two completely different groups.

The basic Honkai creatures are indeed hunters no different from wild beasts. They follow the world's contract to clean up the traces of civilization and defeat humans with their sheer powerful force.

However, as those basic Honkai creatures that had no intelligence and only possessed the characteristics of beasts fell again and again at the hands of humanity's increasingly powerful technological civilization, the Honkai Will gave birth to even more terrifying new creations.

His name is - Herrisher.

Unlike those beasts that only destroy, the powerful Herrschers, who were born from human beings and have human forms, also possess the intelligence and cunning of humans, and naturally know how to use superhuman power in a more efficient way. Under the premise of absolute loyalty to the will of Honkai, their power is enough to become the nightmare of any civilization.

Looking at the dark fog that was surging around her, sweat began to flow from Eselin's palms. She could clearly feel the strong malice coming from the surroundings. As the black fog spread, it became more and more strangely targeted. What this meant was self-evident...

No matter how sudden the Honkai outbreak is, the birth of a Herrscher always has a process. Before the highly concentrated Honkai energy is sublimated into a true Herrscher body, it is always an unconscious energy polymer. In this state, an immature Herrscher, even if he already has the power to manipulate the laws, will only follow the instincts of Honkai creatures to launch attacks, and cannot exert the terrible power of intelligent monsters at all.

And now, as a Herrscher transformed from a human being, gradually regaining its own intelligence in awakening, what is the difference between this moment and its previous unconscious state?

Chi chi chi......

The metal walls squeezed in the repulsive field of the Star of Eden compressed again, making a harsh sound of metal squeezing and twisting, and then quietly fell silent again, as if the will that controlled them had rejected the decision to break the force field by pressure, and instead prepared to adopt other plans.

"You're only concentrating now... In other words, before this guy truly wakes up, he's already capable of destroying the Anti-Entropy Headquarters? This joke is not funny at all."

Iselin gritted her teeth and slowly stood up, enduring the constant tingling sensation in her brain. The severe consumption of her mental power and body energy was quite painful for her, an independent Herrscher who had lost the support of the origin of Honkai. But now, this newly born Honkai-side colleague obviously did not intend to let her, a traitor, go.

"Mr. Walter, how long can your Key of God last?"

Leaning back to back with the brown-haired man beside her, Iselin's gear-shaped pupils continued to rotate, forcibly squeezing out some of the energy in her body and spreading it on her body surface, ready to deal with attacks from an unknown source at any time.

"I don't know, but it should last longer than your energy blockade, so don't worry."

"Tsk... This is a poor answer for a scientist."

The green-haired girl couldn't help but shook her head. Warm blue energy spread out from her hands, constructing two small machines around her, floating on both sides of her body.

"——But as a comrade, your answer is very reliable, Mr. Walter."

Iselin chuckled, a sapphire blue light filled her body surface, and chaotic data streams mixed with composite photon layers surrounded her, efficiently investing energy into the mechanical circulation system of the Herrscher's body, forming layers of photon barriers around the two of them.

It goes without saying that the second and third generation Herrschers share the same will to fight against the Honkai.

Although charging all the energy into the barrier could maintain the sealing barrier for a longer time, if she really did that, she would probably die from the attack of the Herrscher in the next short time.

so......

(Energy rule inversion mode is on)

(Honkai particle reactor connection completed)

(The semi-conductive arc force field is being fixed)

(Assisted retrieval system loading)

(Operation Memory Cloud storage capacity is now online)

(Subatomic annihilation floater is loaded, autonomous enemy annihilation mode is activated...)

Therefore, you can't just stand there stupidly to maintain the barrier, you must not give up necessary self-protection... and even counterattack!

919 Herrscher of Corrosion>>

A layer of black thorn-shaped patterns began to emerge on the surface of the metal layer that was against the Star of Eden, and the originally dark blue alloy began to glow with an ominous dark red light. At first glance, this color seemed to be slightly similar to the gravitational waves of the Star of Eden, but compared to the pure gravitational law energy, the strong illusion that seemed to contain malice and curse was obviously not the same thing...

Some kind of black unknown substance penetrated the defense of the Star of Eden without any hindrance and lingered around the green-haired girl.

Hehehe...hehehehehehehehe!!

The dark emotional factors were mixed in the energy and dissipated, as if just by looking at this wall, one could hear the wanton and ferocious screams.

Rui scoffed.

"I see~ This is the first disqualified judge."

The confusing sound and images of men and women resounded in her mind, and Iselin couldn't help but frown. She seemed to see that the head of the black mist shadow on the metal wall had a hideous arc crack, as if revealing a cruel and resentful face with a smile.

“Hehehe… It’s hard, right? In order to trap me in a limited area, they split my energy into two parts to block the space. How does it feel to have your brain almost torn in half?”

"..."

Iselin remained completely silent. Walter beside her seemed unable to hear the echo that went straight into her mind, and she did not intend to talk nonsense with the Herrscher. After all, there was no need to say more about what the two sides were about to do.

“Heh… As the weakest God’s messenger at the beginning, you are quite capable. You can even temporarily suppress the flow of my body and block my corrosive power at close range. For those filthy maggots, you are really desperate~ huh?”

The metal layer that was originally used as a channel had already turned into a smooth spherical layer under the pressure of repulsion, surrounding the two anti-entropy leaders. And with the mocking and hateful phantom sound, the metal that was still resisting the repulsive field began to slowly protrude along the dark red lines, like earthworm-like blood vessels, and then spread out along the surface of the steel like countless worms, filling up the small circular space, like the dirty heart cavity of a demon.

At this time, some kind of corrosive creature began to wriggle and emerge from the twisted steel blood vessels, growing larger as the energy fluctuations increased.
