K424 of the Collapse World

Damn... I'm being completely led by the nose!

932 The Transmission of Divine Power

While Kiana launched a surprise attack on the Herrscher at the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, the barrier that blocked the Herrscher was still blocking the support troops from Saint Freya.

The Hyperion was hovering right above the base. Even though it had entered the highest level of combat readiness early on, facing the huge barrier covering the entire base, even though Ji Zi was so anxious that she wanted to jump up and down, she could only let the fleet float in the sky in a daze, leaving the Valkyries of the airborne troops staring blankly in the cabin.

On the other hand, Diana, who had arrived at the Far East branch area a long time ago and stayed around the barrier for a long time, had also met up with Mei and her group from ME Club outside the barrier, and the Herrscher forces of Saint Freya had a small gathering.

"......So, Iselin, when will you be able to expand the Far East? Didn't Kiana-san already go in?"

Placing her palm on the opaque chaotic energy layer of the barrier, Diana communicated with the other side of the barrier in the same way as Kiana, infiltrating the Herrscher energy into the surface of the barrier, just like making a phone call, and passed this information to Iselin on the other side of the earth.

"Wait a mininute......"

“Iselin, Dr. Iselin, please give me an answer quickly! Seele’s eyes are red with anxiety, and she is holding a sickle and shouting that she wants to chop up this broken light curtain and cut the Herrscher inside into pieces. Bronya can hardly hold back…”

"Tsk... Don't let her mess around. If we remove the light curtain now, the Herrscher might escape, and all the efforts we've made to siege her would be in vain!"

Where Diana couldn't see, Iseline was concentrating on operating the dozen light screens at hand in the ruins of the base. The photon machine constructed by the power of the Herrscher of Reason surrounded her body 360°, concentrating all the computing power and Herrscher energy to maintain the activation of the barrier and energy transmission.

The Herrscher of Corrosion was so busy with Kiana's attack that he had no time to pay attention to other places. Now, Iselin could finally focus on blocking the energy barrier and transmitting information over longer distances.

If she had maintained the barrier while fighting like before, she would definitely not have been able to successfully communicate with Diana, but now...

Iselin sucked back the two lines of blood from her nose, looked maliciously at the two groups of light and shadow that were constantly interweaving and colliding in the distance, revealing a vengeful smile.

Unless the Herrscher of Corrosion can explode immediately and create a clone to attack this side, and break through the obstruction of Walter's Key of God to interfere with himself, and achieve such an extreme two-sided attack, otherwise, the outcome of this annihilation war will not be in suspense.

"Wait a little longer. We must wait until Kiana completely defeats the Herrscher extension of the Anti-Entropy Headquarters. Only then can we deal with the remaining Herrschers in absolute safety. Before that, please do not do anything to interfere with the barrier..."

Diana was listening carefully to Iselin's feedback and conveying it to her companions behind her. At this moment, the blue-haired girl who was tightly hugged by Bronya suddenly broke free. Her blood-red eyes narrowed into two hideous lines in anger and rushed towards the barrier layer next to Diana.

"Hey! Xier, what are you going to do? Mei, stop her!"

"Xi'er! Don't be impulsive!"

Amid the girls' panicked attempts to stop her, Seele(?) did not do anything impulsive to destroy the barrier. Instead, like Diana, she pounced on the surface of the barrier and established a connection with the Herrscher's energy without any instruction.

“You green-haired seaweed-head, are you kidding me?! The base has been turned upside down by that Herrscher. How long do you want us to wait? Do you want us to wait until the entire Far East Base becomes a dead city?”

As a familiar voice suddenly appeared in the mental communication with Diana, Iselin was stunned for a moment before she realized that the owner of the voice was the blue-haired girl who seemed very well-behaved.

Could Xi'er actually be so irritable? And she actually knew the derogatory name Xing had given her before...

"Calm down. I can sense that although the Far East Base has suffered heavy losses, it is far from being completely wiped out. The Valkyries trapped inside have also begun to organize a counterattack. The situation is not as bad as you think."

Although she was a little depressed, Iselin still kept her composure and explained patiently, but the other party didn't seem to be willing to talk properly.

"Do you have to wait until the situation becomes as bad as we imagine before you are willing to open this passage for us?!"

"The barrier in the Far East was released remotely by me, and its control accuracy is far inferior to that of the Anti-Entropy Headquarters. If I want to open a one-way entrance for you without being detected by the Herrscher, I must wait until the Herrscher factor in North America is completely cleared, so that I can remove the barrier. Only then can I control the barrier energy over there..."

"Then tell me first, when will Kiana be able to kill half of your Herrscher?"

"Don't worry, Kiana's power is absolutely superior to this kind of Herrscher, and she has completely suppressed the Herrscher of Corrosion..."

"Stop talking about the battle situation. I want to know when you can finish this thing!"

"Anyway, anyway, we're almost there! But we haven't completely won yet... No matter what, if you don't want the Herrscher of Corrosion to take half the world with him, follow my instructions now. Do you understand?"

Even though she could understand Xi'er's (?) anxious mood, Iselin was also annoyed by the other party's yelling. She temporarily cut off the communication of this energy link and turned to look at the battle situation not far away, which was basically settled. For some reason, although it was still a suspenseful endgame, she suddenly had a bad feeling, as if she instinctively felt the trembling from the soul the moment before Lindy, the Herrscher of the Heart, tore her consciousness apart...

Didn't Kiana already win?

The collapsed underground base had been completely pierced. In the crater-like depression on the ground, the silver-haired girl stretched out one hand, and a solidified beam of light spread out like an iron chain, trapping a human-shaped black shadow that was so faint that it was almost transparent.

Although the base of the Anti-Entropy Headquarters was completely destroyed, the mechanical equipment controlled by the Corrosion Herrscher was also completely destroyed, leaving only the semi-energy body of the Black Mist Herrscher.

Under the stimulation of the energy of the light beam, the black shadow continued to fade, and it seemed that it would completely dissipate in just a few seconds.

However, even though the deadly energy was dispersing it, the misty figure still had that half-smile on his face, and his empty eyes that looked like a grin were staring at Kiana in front of him, as if he was not the one who was defeated at the moment.

(Hehe... Did you win because of yourself? You poor thieves who stole divine power, you have no idea what kind of existence the civilized ants will face next...)

“Even if the Herrers of the End arrives, we will fight to the end! Sister Shilis...will not lose to you, the disasters sent from the sky!”

(The end? No... no no no, hehe... hahahahaha! You won't even have the chance to meet the final judge, because before that, she will turn everything in this era into nutrients for the tree of imaginary numbers! No one can defeat her now... no one!)

Kiana frowned and gave up talking to this crazy Herrscher. She then increased the intensity of the light energy, instantly turning the remaining energy Herrscher into energy embers.

However, the last voice of this part of the Herrscher's consciousness still reached her ears.

(Just now, that adult has obtained the power that belongs to me, hehehe... Just look forward to it~ The Herrscher who represents the embodiment of the essence of Honkai...)

933 The Aborted Journey

Battles against Herrscher of Corrosion in the Far East and North America

In the middle, at the other end of the space barrier, somewhere in the quantum space that has surpassed the imaginary space, a mechanical creature shaped like a train is traveling in the boundless quantum sea.

"Yes, that's it... Use your previous experience interfering with them to disperse all the energy waves rushing towards us."

In a high-tech cabin that looked like a vehicle control room, the blond man looked at his companion who was "steering" beside him and spoke softly to her, staring intently at the distorted starry sky outside the observation screen.

Obviously, they were not riding on a space shuttle, and this was not the universe outside the planet, but a different dimension in a sense, or in other words, a space with a higher dimension than reality...

——The Sea of ​​Quantum

Outside the imaginary tree of the origin of all things, there is this ocean of concepts composed of infinite worlds. It does not belong to any single universe in the conventional sense, nor is it a real mirror world like the imaginary space, but a "medium" that can carry various laws of the derived universe.

Here, those worlds of various forms, composed of the same or different basic rules and latitudes, are separated into different single universes under the rules of the quantum sea. They can be regarded as world bubbles existing in this space; and the quantum sea itself is the "ocean" that carries and contains all the world bubbles, just like a water tank containing bubbles, various microorganisms and mineral elements, which is the integration of all conceptual substances in eleven dimensions.

In short, it is a space platform that is independent of the tree of imaginary numbers and higher than the single universe. In terms of dimensionality, it may be at the same level as the tree of imaginary numbers. Of course, this outer universe that is far beyond the reach of human beings may really be just a basin of water for those higher-dimensional beings.

But leaving aside unfounded speculation, what exactly is in this quantum world can only be determined by seeing it with one's own eyes...but the premise is that it is still at the level that can be observed by material creatures.

The nature of Honkai, the nature of life, the nature of the world, the nature of matter... If all goes well, at the end of this journey, we will get the answers to all these mysteries.

Perhaps, as early as when I first came into contact with that power, I had already become a slave to my thirst for knowledge...

However, none of this matters.

Because now, I am in this high-dimensional field, using the creations of the laws to continuously move towards the final point.

"...The next anchor point is e914, a060, a124. The basic law is extended from the fourth unit. There are two extended membranes of world bubbles on the navigation track. Be careful to avoid them."

Giving orders to the blonde girl next to the photon screen, Otto squinted his eyes slightly to relieve the fatigue of staring at the light screen for a long time, and turned to look at the transparent cabin window in front of him.

In this space where carbon-based creatures cannot perceive the basic variable of "speed", the world bubbles that were passed by still turned into strips of light as the Key of Space shuttled through them, quickly passing in front of the blond man's eyes, leaving these broken worlds far behind the train.

The Second Key of God - One Thousand Worlds. A few months ago, ever since Otto made a deal with the World Serpent and obtained the body of this Key of God, he has been obsessed with the experiment of finding the anchor point at the end of the void, leaving all the power of destiny to the Senate, which has been in name only after being sidelined for many years.

While everyone was speculating on what the bishop was up to, no one expected that Otto had left their reality and entered another unknown world with the strongest Valkyrie.

"Yulandel" Bianca Atajina, a Valkyrie who participated in Operation Aether Anchor six years ago, was one of the first humans to enter the Quantum Ocean in this era. The other was her adjutant Rita Rossweisse.

They are all excellent Valkyries, but as a companion for this journey, Otto chose Bianca, who understood the laws of the Quantum Sea better, and let Rita temporarily take over all affairs as the Bishop of Destiny.

If he didn't go back to that world, letting the maid become the bishop's daughter seemed to be a good choice - looking at the dazzling sea of ​​empty stars in front of him, Otto suddenly thought of this.

But soon, his brief distraction was interrupted by his companions.

"Your Excellency..."

The Valkyrie in golden armor held the buoy of the light curtain and used the power of her own world bubble to control the shuttle of the Key of Space. The Key of God, which contained the power of the laws of the previous generations of Herrschers of Space, easily tore open the law barriers of different world bubbles, passed through these planes that human power could never interfere with, and kept approaching in a fixed direction.

933 Aborted Journey >>

However, as the operation went more smoothly, the blonde Valkyrie began to show signs of uneasiness.

"Is this really okay? I mean, leaving our world behind and heading for the so-called origin?"

"Oh? Would our Yulandel also have such a worried expression? This is not like you normally."

Hearing Otto's slightly teasing response, the blonde girl just frowned and shook her head.

“Even I have never been so deep.

"After passing through the high-dimensional layer of the quantum sea, the basic laws here are completely different from the reality we are familiar with. Moreover, the interior of the quantum sea is really too big. I am worried that if we go deeper, we will lose the coordinates to return to the original world..."

"You are regarded as the strongest Valkyrie by destiny. You have experienced life-threatening battles, but you are still afraid of getting lost?"

"As a warrior, I am always prepared to sacrifice my life. But if we can't go back, how can we solve the disaster of the collapse of that world? This kind of thing...what is the point?"

Yulandel was also looking at the constantly disappearing starlight. It was a universe of quantum seas, which was instantly crossed over in the shuttle of Thousand Worlds and One Vehicle, leaving only a little light left in the afterimage of the pupil.

The universe that could not be measured by trillions of light years could now be easily traversed. This unimaginable journey made Yulandel panic. If they lost the Key of God here, they would probably be trapped in a single universe forever, and perhaps they would not even be able to leave a planet...

Rather than exploring the mysteries of the infinite world, Yulandel would rather continue her original life, protect the civilization of that world as a Valkyrie, and shed her last drop of blood in the deadly battle against the collapse, rather than being lost in a completely unfamiliar universe like she is now.

"No, my dear Bianca. Today's Honkai forces are no longer just a ragtag army of Honkai beasts and death warriors. In the face of the current Honkai disaster, only by going deep into its source and understanding the essence of Honkai can we completely eliminate them from the root."

"But, are we really going to destroy the source of the collapse? My Lord Bishop, I have never doubted your orders, but your fanatical eyes now do not look like a warrior who is determined to die... Forget it."

Although she still doubted Otto's answer, Yulandel took a deep breath, patted her cheek, and hid her worried expression under indifference.

"At least for now, Bishop, I am still the Valkyrie of Destiny and your subordinate. Therefore, I will obey your orders until we reach the root of the so-called Imaginary Tree."

"That's enough. I promise that what we are going to do next will determine the future of this infinite world bubble."

Otto smiled faintly, retracted his gaze from the bizarre cabin window scene, and looked back at the control light screen of Qianjie Yicheng. At this moment, a sharp and piercing alarm suddenly sounded from the technological equipment carried by the Key of God!

"Your Majesty Bishop!"

In the face of the sudden change, Yulandel instantly condensed a spear of light and shouted a warning, and Otto's eyes also turned away.

"This is... a Honkai alert?! Some kind of Honkai matter is approaching us! Have we reached the periphery of the Imaginary Tree? No, it's impossible... The coordinates of the Void Anchor Point have only passed less than 3%, how could this law-level Honkai energy appear out of thin air...!"

"Wait a minute, Bishop, I seem to be somewhat familiar with this kind of Honkai energy..."

"familiar?!"

Otto was about to say something when a golden net of light spread out from nowhere and instantly covered the outside of the train-shaped Key of God. Like a fishing net, it dragged the entire Thousand Worlds One Vehicle directly into the space crack that had opened in the void...

"Really... you actually went to a place like that. You're really going to cause trouble for others."

The next moment, as a ethereal girl's voice quietly echoed in their minds, Otto and Yulandel were both startled. Almost at the same time, they realized the reason for the familiar feeling -

The starry sky outside the window of the Key of God cabin had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by an endless purple sky and countless suspended cubes floating in all directions.

On the largest and most conspicuous purple crystal block, a silver-haired woman in a religious dress sat elegantly on the crystal platform at the edge, her purple-gold eyes watching the two people in the Key of God without any ripples...

934 Destroyed Target

How to describe Otto's current mood?

He was riding on the Key of the Sky Thousand Worlds Vehicle and traveling across the entire quantum ocean, completely transcending the laws of the universe and experiencing the freedom that was infinitely close to absolute, but suddenly, he was forcibly dragged to another unfamiliar place by an "old acquaintance".

For example, when a middle school student accidentally discovered a space-time tunnel leading to the second dimension, he went through great pains to study the method of opening the tunnel. Finally, he opened the tunnel and jumped in with joy. However, he was suddenly taken away in a sack halfway, and then he found himself kidnapped by the school bully in the next class and taken to the second and fifth dimension...

Surprised? Unexpected?

Well, this sounds like an absurd and bizarre dream. Whoever hears it will probably silently put a few question marks on his head and then kick this illogical and boring little story out of his mind.

Although it sounds a bit abstract, this is basically the confusion that Otto felt when he suddenly came to this dark purple world from the bright quantum sea and saw the familiar silver-haired woman at first sight.

There is no doubt that the web woven by the golden chains is the ability of Shiris, but how did she do it? The shuttle of the Key of Space is a real law of space. It can cross countless parallel universes in the blink of an eye. How can it be captured with the ability of the Constraint Law Maker?

Compared to these... what exactly does she want to do? Why does this traitor Herrscher who is lost in the imaginary space suddenly want to attack me? Does this mean this is the imaginary space? And based on her abnormal state before, what kind of mental state is she in now...?

Compared to Otto's confused thoughts, Yulandel didn't think too much. As a reckless Valkyrie, the first thing she could confirm was that the Key of Space was pulled away by those chains, leaving the Quantum Sea and entering a strange space, and it was the silver-haired woman in front who did it. That was enough.

Click——

She opened the valve of the Thousand Worlds One Train, walked out of the huge Key of Space, and floated in the air with the golden energy on her body, completely immersed in this wonderful space.

Even though they had never seen the adult form of Shiris, the intelligence system of Destiny was no slouch. With the convenience brought by the organizational alliance, they could legitimately obtain most of the intelligence inside Anti-Entropy. Even a reclusive and ascetic Valkyrie like Yulandel could know what happened to the Ruler of Constraint not long ago.

"Are you... Miss Shilis? Why would you do such a thing? Even if we are allies, according to the agreement, you should have no right to interfere with the internal operations of the Mandate of Heaven."

Although it was a seemingly calm question, the moment Youlandel came into direct contact with the woman's breath, she became alert with an instinctive warning. She slightly turned sideways and tensed her whole body, and she had already entered a state of readiness for battle.

No matter who the other party is, the strong sense of oppression around her can definitely not be called kind...

"Ah... I am indeed the experimental subject K424 that you are familiar with, that is, Silis Kaslana. There is no doubt about it."

The woman answered almost without hesitation, but just when Yulandel breathed a sigh of relief, the second half of the silver-haired woman's words made her whole body tremble.

"——However, I would rather you call me the "Herder of Constraint". Valkyrie Yulandel, this should be enough to answer your next question, right?"

"—?!"

Yulandel's eyes froze for a moment, then turned sharp in an instant! Although she was too straightforward, she was not stupid. She knew very well what it meant for Shilis, a warrior who betrayed the will of Honkai and fought against Honkai as a Herrscher, to say this now.

"...In other words, you have now fallen into a true Houkai Messenger. Am I right in understanding this, Miss Herrscher of Restraint?"
