K424 of the Collapse World

"No... This barrier folds the spatial coordinates inside. If you start teleporting, you will only be able to jump to the other side of the barrier over a long distance. There is no way to interfere."

Looking at Kiana on the communication screen, Diana spread her hands and shook her head. After leaving the World Serpent's territory, Kiana went to the Anti-Entropy Headquarters in the North American Zone, while Diana returned to the disaster zone of the Far East Branch. However, as she said just now, it was impossible to pass through this layer of law barrier.

"Electronic communications are completely disabled, and we don't know what the battle situation is like inside. But if we use violent means to tear open the barrier and get through, the Herrscher may take the opportunity to escape... What should we do?"

Kiana muttered to herself, looking at the Hyperion warship floating not far above. The other members of the branch were obviously at a loss. On the one hand, they could not abandon their companions in distress, but on the other hand, they had to stick to their duties as Valkyries and isolate the extremely dangerous Herrscher of Corrosion...

Suddenly, the Herrscher of the Void, who was floating in the air, clapped his hands, and his blue star pupils emitted a little light.

"That's right! By interfering with the energy transfer of the barrier, we should be able to start a conversation with the First Herrscher who activated it, and then have her help us enter the crystal, right?

"Eh? This... is theoretically feasible, but can Iselin really hold on..."

"At this point, there is no other way, right?"

924 Lighting up hope

In the collapsed and twisted underground area of ​​the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, a battle in the shadows is still going on.

Countless metal spikes protruded from the dark blockade and stabbed the green-haired girl in the center, and then broke without exception in the gravitational field of the shadow, emitting several fleeting and dazzling arcs of electricity, and immersing the halo in the cold metal pit.

As secondary Herrschers who have not yet completed their ascension, Iselin and the Corrosion Herrscher are equally powerful, so it is natural that the outcome of their confrontation will not be decided too quickly.

Even though the former needed to maintain a very consuming blockade barrier, Walter, the controller of the Star of Eden, was the only one responsible for fighting the enemy. The Corrosion Herrscher, who was not good at frontal attacks, was unable to quickly break through their defenses for a while.

However, as a Herrscher specially created by the Honkai Will, even though it has not yet reached its full form, it has already begun to slowly grasp the essence of the Law of Corrosion...

"Iselin, Herr of Reason... Hehe, that's really weird. Why would someone like you want to stop us?"

"..."

Black mist gathered and dispersed in her field of vision, like a slender hand made of shadows caressing her cheek. Listening to the bewitching words full of malice and expectation echoing in her ears, Iselin remained motionless and completely ignored the voice of the Herrscher.

"Your character is clearly the most suitable replacement for us, so why do you keep doing things against your will?"

Amid the pretended gentle teasing, the metal spikes that were broken by the force field fell down, but melted into the metal layer on the ground like melting ice, without leaving even a trace.

These metals that have been infiltrated with the energy of the Herrscher have long been extended limbs of the Herrscher. As long as the energy of the law is activated, they can be manipulated at will like moving hands and feet.

However, no matter how powerful the Herrscher of Corrosion is, these fragile objects are not enough to fight against the Star of Eden. From the beginning of the collapse to this moment, the dozens of rounds of attacks it launched with the Corrosion Alloy were all blocked by Walter alone, and it was unable to touch Iselin under its protection at all.

But this does not mean that the Corrosion Ruler will not take other measures.

"Poor Nina... your best friend, the only goal that drove you to complete all your achievements so far. What a pity~ Before you found the medicine to cure her, the poor girl was forced by the humans you protected to become a true Herrscher, and was buried on an unknown small island in the Arctic... what a retribution!" qun: 3.

"Humph......"

Without paying attention to the girl's cold snort, the shadow of the Herrscher gently passed over Iselin's jaw, and the head of a twisted skeleton floated up, with its empty eye sockets facing Iselin's indifferent face, as if revealing a hint of cruel and terrifying vicious mockery.

"How ridiculous that you are still deceiving yourself, thinking that protecting those lowly ants is your duty to redeem yourself... You clearly want to kill them all! Let those who directly or indirectly kill Nina fall into the cycle of nightmare and never escape! Send the whole damn world to be buried with your best friend... Isn't that what you thought when you locked yourself in the room for a few days?"

The mocking screams echoing in all directions fell into her ears, along with the dark fog filled with corrosive energy, trying to penetrate the deadly curse into the girl's heart like a cancer.

Walter's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he concentrated on maintaining the power of the Key of God. He could not hear those strange noises, and now he was no longer a Herrscher, and he could no longer actively participate in the mental chain of the Collapse, and he knew nothing about the Herrscher's secret mental attack on Iselin.

"You are just a weak

A person who goes with the flow with a smile! He clearly wants to give up everything, but he goes to the battlefield blindly under the expectations of others, and devotes the rest of his life to the false ideals you impose on himself... What a sad and pitiful fool~!"

"..."

The green-haired girl remained silent, letting those inescapable sounds linger in her ears. While harassing her, the Herrscher's attacks never stopped. The smooth walls around her were rippling like boiling mercury, and the sharp metal waves cut and tore the invisible force field, constantly trying to penetrate the shackles of the law of gravity, and shredded the weak green-haired girl into pieces...

Before being transformed into a Herrscher of Corrosion, it was a senior technician responsible for anti-entropy power supply. With the further integration of its thinking memory and Honkai consciousness, all the knowledge it had learned in the past was also integrated into the spiritual body of the Herrscher, and it became more and more adept at manipulating these metal substances.

As a Ruler of Honkai, his energy can be inexhaustible relying on the origin of the Imaginary Number Tree. How long can the Anti-Entropy Leader, who is barely resisting with the Key of God, last?

"You hate those ignorant insects who watched you die without helping, and you also hate yourself for being weak and powerless. You despise those stupid colleagues who did nothing. You suppress your strong desire for revenge! That's why you accepted the power of the Herrscher. Admit it, your mean and narrow-minded heart never intended to use the power of God to protect civilization, but to obey your duty in your heart and make this world..."

924 Lighting up hope >>

“Enough of the boring stand-up comedy?”

"Shut up! You can't get rid of your..."

"You are the one who should shut up. You are so smart-assed. Do you think my heart is so fragile?"

Iselin shook her head. Her cheeks had turned pale under the overwhelming energy pressure, but her azure gear pupils were still clear and flawless. The Herrscher's self-righteous speech did not seem to have any effect on her remaining inner demons.

"The Honkai Will has helped you a lot. You seem to know about my battle with the first Herrscher of the Heart, and you also know the weaknesses in my heart, and you turned them into your own experience. But you are taking it for granted. You obviously don't have the Herrscher of the Heart's laws to interfere, but you still want to manipulate people's hearts like her?"

"How could you...?"

People in despair can easily lose their composure and completely collapse at the mere words of the Honkai Will. In the eyes of the Corrosion Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason who was imprisoned here by him should have been in a desperate situation long ago, but was just holding on in despair and not giving up. How could he still have such willpower?

"Yes, I may never get out of the shadow left by Nina in my life, but I have reflected on my own thoughts countless times, how can you, a brainless idiot, control them with just a few words? Don't underestimate me, you soot monster!"

Although she was cursing the Herrscher, Iselin seemed to be talking to herself. Walter next to her looked down at her with some concern, then showed an understanding expression and did not say much.

After all, he was once a Herrscher, so he naturally knew the communication channels between these Honkai creatures. However, since the spiritual erosion of the Herrscher did not affect Iselin, he did not need to be distracted by it.

However, he did not speak to disrupt Iselin's thoughts, but the green-haired girl beside him turned around and smiled sweetly.

"Everything is ready, Mr. Walter, please immediately gather all the energy of the gravitational field directly above."

"ah......?"

Walter was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but his hand still subconsciously drove the Star of Eden, releasing the power of the Key of God to the maximum, and placing the gravitational layer that almost distorted the space above their heads like a pot lid.

As he strengthened the upper part, the force field shield covering the surrounding area immediately weakened. However, before the extended metal of the Corrosion Herrscher could take advantage of the opportunity to enter, the upper wall of the metal layer suddenly collapsed!

——I saw a golden beam of light coming from top to bottom, directly penetrating the metal partition hundreds of meters underground, smashing the execution room built by the Herrscher into pieces, and instantly connecting with the outside world!

Watching the black smoke that instantly dissipated in the annihilating golden light, Iselin gritted her teeth and activated the nozzle of the auxiliary machinery, flying herself and Walter at high speed towards the vertical exit.

"Are you surprised? Herrscher, you will soon find out to whom the god you believe in has given the strongest power!"

"Ahem... Stupid shorty! Stay away from me!"

Among the broken high-rise buildings of Saint Freya, the red-haired doctor with bloodshot eyes raised his left hand and pressed the palm of the arm armor, which was flashing with strong electric light, on his forehead!

Instantly, tiny but violent arcs of electricity spread all over Tesla's body, causing her muscles to spasm violently. Her dusty red hair stood on end, and even the twin ponytails on the sides of her head became disheveled.

However, as Tesla's seemingly self-harming behavior progressed, her dazed red eyes regained clarity. She then desperately shook off the arm armor that was emitting high voltage electricity, and gasped for breath.

She actually used the high voltage current of her arm armor to destroy the biochip in her cerebral cortex! Fortunately, her

Before her brain was destroyed, this extremely sophisticated microchip was destroyed first, allowing her to break free from the control of the Herrscher and successfully save her life.

Just this operation stunned Theresa who was standing next to him.

"Dr. Tesla! You...you......"

"Ha... Don't worry... I won't die so easily, you little loli, throw your broken cross to me right now! Do you want to bleed to death?!"

925 The melody of counterattack

Sitting on the high platform at the edge of the machine table, staring at the blue eggshell-like light curtain in the distance, Asakura Miyuki's eyes flickered slightly, and her extremely serious expression and heavy breathing made the atmosphere around her even more solemn.

"A new enemy...?"

I thought there would be no Herrschers loyal to Honkai anymore...

As she muttered to herself, her cat ears fluttered and trembled. Suddenly, she lowered her head and glanced at the silver-haired girl beside her.

The clone girl, who had originally become cheerful, once again hid herself in the fence of silence. She lowered her head and said nothing, secretly staring at the blue light curtain in the distance.

Although she didn't know what the other person was thinking, Asakura Miyuki could sense the faint but obvious trembling in the girl's petite body.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"..."

Holding the trembling little girl, Asakura Miyuki forced a smile at the girl and hugged the silver-haired girl into her arms with a little force.

"Don't be afraid. Even if something really happens, I will protect you."

"..."

Her gentle consolation and encouragement were answered with the girl's complete silence. Although the silver-haired girl did not speak in response, she instantly huddled even tighter into Asakura Miyuki's arms, and the slight trembling of her body was more clearly reflected on Asakura Miyuki's body.

The black-haired girl sighed softly.

As expected...

Like a moth staring at a candle flame, she looked at the area filled with the energy of the Herrscher. She had already noticed something, hadn't she?

Even though she lost her memory as Shiris, her essence as a K experiment still inherited the curse of the Honkai bloodline...

The girl could sense the energies, so she was afraid; she was afraid of the strange "kind" behind the energy barrier, and she was also afraid of the unknown dangers that were gradually approaching.

But, is that really all?...

"Lieutenant Asakura."

At this moment, with a slightly low voice, a red-haired woman wearing Valkyrie armor walked over from the side. Asakura Miyuki hesitated for a second, gently let go of the girl in her arms, turned around, straightened her chest and saluted.

"Commander of Wuliang Tower, what do you want?"

The red-haired woman walking briskly was naturally the commander of the Tianming Far East Army - Wuliangta Jizi.

Just when Asakura Miyuki was returning to the base of the Far East Branch from the Saint Freya ruins with the abnormal individual K476, due to a sudden change, they had to change their destination and flew the aircraft to the place where Himeko was.

The facility they were in at the moment was the location of the mobile airport of the Far East Branch of the Sky Mandate. It was originally located 36 nautical miles northeast of Saint Freya Academy and 44 nautical miles northwest of the Far East Base. The three points formed a triangle.

That's right, this is just the original location. The reason why it is called a mobile airport is that it is indeed an aerial building, using the anti-gravity technology of the floating island of the Destiny Headquarters. It usually floats stably at an altitude of about 1500 meters.

But now, this air base has activated its built-in energy, leaving the original airspace at a speed that is not slow at all, and is constantly approaching the Far East Base...

"The Far East's highest command system has been paralyzed. You are temporarily assigned to the Hyperion Valkyrie Corps."

Ji Zi said calmly. Although her tone was as efficient as always, at this moment, this veteran Valkyrie commander still had a trace of anxiety and dejection between her brows.

Asakura Miyuki saw it all, but she knew that there was no point in saying more.

"Yes."

"Get ready as soon as possible. Go to the armory and replace the specialized armor for airborne operations. Also..."

Ji Zi turned her eyes slightly and glanced at the short girl who was curled up next to her, and her frown returned to normal in an instant.

"Go to the inner shelter and register your entourage. The main body of this airport base will stay five nautical miles away to maintain material support. Only the Hyperion will be dispatched. There is no need to worry about the safety of non-combat personnel."

925 The melody of counterattack >>

Although they looked identical, Jizi could tell at a glance that this timid girl was definitely not one of the three Herrscher sisters of Kaslana. Considering what had happened recently, she was definitely not a cyborg controlled remotely by Shiris. After all, temperament was equivalent to vision for a senior Valkyrie like Jizi.

This one

The girl is no different from any other child.

As for who she is and why she is working with Asakura Miyuki... these questions are not important at the moment. At this critical moment when the Herrscher of Corrosion is wreaking havoc in the core base and the battle situation is unclear, all Himeko cares about is the next response operation.

Watching Asakura Miyuki pulling the girl's hand and walking away quickly, Himeko rubbed her temples and opened a communication screen with the terminal on her wrist armor.

"Captain Penglai Temple, report on the progress of the battleship maintenance."

"Basic operating system inspection has been completed, and the energy cycle status is being confirmed."

"Okay, has the battle plan been confirmed? Follow the plan and keep in touch with them at all times."

"Commander, let me confirm again that the headquarters has not issued an order to carry out the operation. Do we really have to..."

On the other end of the communication screen, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple confirmed with a blank expression and a slightly skeptical tone, as if he did not agree with his superior's plan.

In response to this, Ji Zi remained silent for a moment, recalling the two silver-haired girls who had returned to the Far East not long ago, and quietly revealed a sharp and resolute look.

"Yes, I'm sure. There's no need to wait for the results of the meeting of those useless high-level officials. Those guys with ulterior motives definitely have other plans. Trust those kids. When it comes to dealing with Honkai issues, our Saint Freya is the real expert!"

In the blockaded Far East battlefield, a purple light suddenly appeared in the air without any warning!

Three arrows flew out in parallel, piercing the head of the mecha with a sound of metal tearing, causing a burst of electric sparks. While completely destroying the intelligent control system, the dark blue Titan mecha was transformed into a ball of expanding and exploding fire.

Before the other mecha next to it could react, the attacker had already disappeared among the twisted steel and concrete, leaving only a blurry red shadow.

After confirming that she was out of the mecha's search range, the slender girl stopped and hid among the ruins again. Her flaming red pointed wolf ears twitched slightly, revealing a slightly childish face.

Seeing the ruins of the collapsed buildings as a forest of steel, the former female ranger fully utilized her skills to efficiently and accurately harvest the out-of-control twisted mechas.

But at this moment, the scene before her made her exclaim in a low voice.

"what?"

Charlotte, who was holding the heavy composite bow, was slightly stunned. She looked at the mechanical wreckage in the distance that was no longer reassembled like before. She once again pinched out a feather-tail-shaped, slightly shiny metal piece from her waist bag. The purple Honkai particles used this as the tail to construct a crystal arrow, which was then placed on the bowstring by the wolf-eared girl.

Charlotte did not use the power of the core, but carefully used the bow and arrow to conduct guerrilla warfare. After all, facing these difficult-to-destroy enemies, the kind of fighting method that consumes too much energy is obviously not advisable.

But now, things seem to be different...
