K424 of the Collapse World

At this time, Otto also walked to the door of Qianjie Yicheng's car and said to the silver-haired woman who was motionless not far away. When the woman announced her identity, several questions in his mind instantly became connected. Although he still had doubts, he at least understood the other party's logic of action.

Now that things have come to this, no matter how surprised you are, you have to accept the reality.

"Just now, Ms. Herrscher seemed to have said that our actions have caused you trouble, right? In other words, you are planning to destroy us here, right?"

934 Shattered Goal>>

The hatch of the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle extended outward, unfolding like the boarding passage of an aircraft, sending Otto at the door to the outside of the Key of God, forming a suspended platform fixed next to Yulandel.

There seems to be no oxygen in the imaginary space like in the normal world, but fortunately, the golden armor formed by Yulandel absorbing the world bubble can allow her to adapt to any harsh environment. Otto's soul steel body does not require the living conditions of normal creatures and will not die from the rules of the imaginary space.

After Otto's tentative question, the silver-haired woman across the abyss still answered quickly.

"No, I will not take your lives. I interfere with your journey only to put a small piece of human civilization back to where it should play its role."

As she spoke, the silver-haired woman's eyes passed over Youlan Dai'er's figure, ignoring the fierce Valkyrie. Then, her golden-purple eyes fell on the blond bishop.

"Otto Apokalis, people like you shouldn't follow the predetermined trajectory of fate, embark on a detour that is destined to have no end, and disappear from the long river of history."

"You mean... I can't reach the Tree of Imaginary Numbers? Why?"

Otto frowned slightly. As the silver-haired woman connected to the transformation brought about by the will of collapse, he realized that all his secrets were exposed to her. Although the reason was still unknown, instead of asking nonsense questions like "how did you know?", it would be better to take the opportunity to try to ask for more important information...

Reaching the root of the collapse and touching the truth of all things can be said to be his ultimate goal for hundreds of years. And now, this ultimate ideal was denied by a woman's words. How could he easily accept it?

"It's very simple. You used the Key of the Void, One Thousand Worlds to calculate the etheric anchor points leading to the Imaginary Tree. The first 22% of the coordinates can be found in a few

You have experienced it yourself, so I don’t need to say anything more.”

Sure enough, the silver-haired woman sitting on the platform answered leisurely, not caring whether it would waste time, and directly answered Otto's question.

"However, the distance between the spatial anchor points after this is more than a hundred billion world bubbles. Even if the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle can instantly cross thousands of single universes, with this level of spatial laws, the time required to reach the imaginary tree at the end of the quantum sea cannot be measured by simple numbers... Let's not talk about these. Maybe the power of the Ruler of the Void is the supreme law of our plane in the field of space, but the curling and diffusion of special planes is a compound space that transcends the rules of the four-dimensional universe. Do you think the laws and creations of the mere three-dimensional world can really take you to the roots far beyond the eleventh dimension?"

"..."

"Your goal is too far-fetched, Otto. I also thought that the collapse that limits the evolution of human civilization is just a toy created by advanced civilizations. But in fact, those high-dimensional civilizations that seem unattainable to us are just roughly using a very small part of the energy of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers to create a basically uncontrollable "law virus". The essence of collapse - the final point of countless dimensions, is definitely not something that creatures of human level can touch. Oh yes, even if you are no longer a human and become a semi-mechanical creature fused with soul steel, your consciousness and soul are destined to completely decay within 100,000 years and become part of the ether energy."

"Yeah......"

"In the original world line, you disappeared into the quantum sea with this ending. The remaining body fell into the hands of Void Wanzang again, and reappeared in the world as the Ruler of Reason. I think that instead of letting you end like this, it is better to force group: 543659 to change your fate and let you return to our planet. This will be more conducive to my plan."

Otto did not continue asking questions, although according to common sense he should continue to ask the woman what the so-called plan was, but he now realized that something was wrong.

Since she is the messenger of collapse, her only mission is to destroy civilization and reset the era, but now...what does she mean by this?

935 Reunion Day

——What’s your plan?

At this moment, Otto was about to ask a question, but the silver-haired girl in front of him suddenly raised her hand and pointed her palm at the blond man's chest, as if she was grabbing something. At a speed that even Yulandel could not react to, she put her five fingers together to make a virtual grasping motion.

"I'll tell you, but before that..."

The woman spoke softly, and her right hand, which seemed to be holding something, pulled back, and Otto's body froze. Then, a strange golden substance shaped like nerve cells was pulled out from his chest, surrounded by several circles of golden shadow chains, and was directly pulled into the hands of the silver-haired woman.

"The remnants of the former First Ruler of the Civilization, who have been dormant for tens of thousands of years in two eras without doing anything, hiding in the spirit of laziness and conformity in the human race, and now you want to continue hiding from me?"

"..."

Tiny chains surrounded the foul golden "energy cells", pressing the dissipated matter that was constantly twisting and struggling like tentacles. Listening to the silver-haired woman's verdict, it frantically dispersed its original energy matter, as if desperately explaining something, but Otto and Yulandel who were watching could not understand anything. Only the indifferent silver-haired woman could hear the struggle of these painful souls.

"No matter what your reasons are. As the protector of mankind, I cannot tolerate an invisible threat like you. As the executor of Honkai, I cannot tolerate a useless person like you living in this world... And, your strategy of retreating to the center of the earth really annoys me!"

"So, disappear."

The slight emotional fluctuation was fleeting, and the girl activated her ability. The tiny golden chains spread out, completely filling the gaps between the chains as they stretched, turning into a translucent film that covered the soul of the Herrscher inside, making it look like an embryo embedded in egg white.

However, unlike the egg that gave birth to life, this eggshell, which was made of binding laws, was a deadly poison to the spiritual energy inside. Being surrounded by it was like sugar falling into boiling water, which was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.

The woman crushed the golden film of the sphere, letting it scatter into golden light particles that disappeared into the air, quickly dimming like shattered stardust, leaving no trace.

"You...why?"

Otto looked at the increasingly unfamiliar silver-haired woman in amazement. From the moment she attacked, he could clearly feel that a threat that was lurking in his sea of ​​consciousness had disappeared without a trace. It was obvious that the Herrscher consciousness inside the Void Wanzang had been completely wiped out by the same Herrscher of Constraint as the light ball shattered.

At the same time, because of the interference of that consciousness, the Void Ten Thousand Treasures that had been unable to be completely liberated in Otto's sea of ​​consciousness, also revealed their true full picture with the disappearance of the Herrscher's consciousness, and completely liberated the huge knowledge base that integrated hundreds of thousands of epochs of reincarnation!

Even if it's just a quick glimpse, you can understand it instantly

The principles of the Laws of the Herrscher's power. As long as Otto is willing, he can immediately gain knowledge far beyond that of Dr. Mei in the previous era and become the human being closest to the truth in the true sense...

This was the state that Otto had always dreamed of, but now it only made him feel creepy.

Because, this terrifying knowledge, which was once enough to help him easily defeat the thirteen Herrschers, was given to him by this unfathomable Herrscher in front of him...

As if it wasn't even worth mentioning.

As a top researcher, Otto knows the importance of this knowledge of reincarnation better than anyone else. Shiris, who claims to be the executor of Honkai's will, not only prevents him from drowning in the bubble of the quantum sea, but also takes the initiative to help him remove the seal of the Void Ten Thousand Treasures, allowing him to touch those precious knowledge that have infinite possibilities to subvert Honkai.

The question is back to the original point - what exactly does she want to do?

"This is a treasure that human civilization has condensed after hundreds of thousands of trials and constant failures. You can accept it with peace of mind, because it is the result of the struggle that humans deserve."

935 Reunion Day>>

The glowing heterochromatic eyes seemed to be able to pierce through the human mind and reveal the truth inside the mind. The woman immediately revealed Otto's doubts at the moment and took the initiative to answer.

But that's not what Otto wants to know.

"Shiris... Miss Herrscher of Restraint. Since you have become the Herrscher of Honkai, your duty should be to wipe out civilization on behalf of Honkai. I cannot understand what you are doing now. Could it be that the Honkai Will of this generation is actually a god who values ​​chivalry and wants to have a fair duel with human civilization?"

Otto asked half-jokingly, his eyes fixed on the girl's flawless and delicate face. Facing this Herrscher girl whose soul was silent and who was no different from a monster, he absolutely could not retreat at this moment.

Although he was just a slave to his thirst for knowledge, a scumbag leader who was willing to abandon everything to satisfy his curiosity, in front of the Herrscher who represented the catastrophe of civilization, especially such a strange Herrscher, even a madman like Otto had to stand on the side of humanity.

"It has nothing to do with Honkai Will. This is determined by my individual will. It is the only way to guide human civilization onto the right track."

"...?"

"This is a test - I will fulfill my duty as a Herrscher and bring disaster to human civilization. But at the same time, this will also allow humans to continue to grow and evolve in the crises and pressures I give them, and eventually become strong enough to move forward into the future. This is my goal."

Looking at the completely unlocked First God Key in the blond man's body, the woman's pink lips opened again.

"Moreover, the trial is only meaningful when the subject is in a complete state. Otherwise, it is just a mechanical repetition without any accumulation."

"Otto, you will indeed decay one day, but it is undeniable that you will live much longer than most. Therefore, the first task of perfecting the "Library" is left to you."

Without giving Liu Otto a reaction, she said everything unilaterally in just a few words, as if she was an emperor giving orders.

"..."

In response, Otto could only remain silent.

His mind was very clear and flexible. Even if he only heard these illogical sentences, it still couldn't stop him from understanding the other party's purpose.

"In other words, Ms. Shilis...you are still on the side of humans?"

"I don't follow anyone but myself. I only do what is absolutely right."

"Yeah......"

Otto felt a rare hint of irritation.

Cialis, the experimental subject who was manipulated by him in the past, the fighter who could not escape the tragic fate despite all his resistance, the guardian who never betrayed his heart despite being covered with scars... Otto thought that he had seen through the fate of this poor girl. But if he had known that Cialis's fate would end like this, he would definitely not let her take the first step.

——Becoming the embodiment of this absolute divinity, stubbornly and morbidly denying everything outside of oneself.

"You have no right to refuse. Besides, I hate disobedient test subjects."

As she spoke, the silver-haired woman frowned slightly.

"And..."

The girl's eyes glanced to the side and behind.

"I hate even more the external objects that randomly mess up the chessboard."

The next moment! As she finished speaking, a small hand penetrated the space layer not far behind her, opening an unstable space-time tunnel.

Then, the owner of the hand appeared behind the torn space.

It was a pair of purple inverted cross-shaped pupils, with purple light dancing above the pupils, reflecting the same dangerous luster as the silver-haired woman's pupils.

"It just so happens that my favorite thing is to mess up other people's carefully planned plans!"

"What do you think, my dear sister?☆"

936 The Will to Break

The uninvited guest who broke into the void instantly broke the brief silence of the stalemate between the two sides.

"Why don't you talk?

My dear little Silis, please say hello~ Hehe... Are you so surprised to see your sister whom you have never met before that you can't even speak? "

Ignoring the gazes of Otto and the other man, the purple-haired girl landed on a square block of structure with a malicious sneer on her face, forming a sharp contrast with the expressionless silver-haired woman on the other side.

"It's you..."

"Ha... As expected? You sound like you know everything. When will you change your bad habit of showing off all the time? Since you've seen through me, why didn't you set out the welcome mat for Herrschers in advance and seal me in the reverse endless corridor? This is the best way to hunt down the Herrscher of the Sky, right?"

"It won't be that troublesome to deal with you."

Looking back at the purple-haired girl who was stepping into the imaginary space, Shiris adjusted her posture and faced the girl who looked like a twin.

"He was able to initiate spatial displacement with an energy-depleted experimental subject, and even complete the jump before I released the restraint. The only one who could do this is the true soul of the Herrscher of the Void... Xilin."

"I'm curious, what on earth were you thinking when you said your name in such a serious tone? If it were me, I would definitely feel very, very embarrassed to say it, especially in front of a group of people who are familiar with me."

After glancing at Youlandel and Otto, the purple-haired girl took a step forward. She was already standing on the edge of the crystal block, and her right foot stepped into the air without any suspense, and then, naturally, she stepped firmly in the air.

"But before we discuss these meaningless topics...how about letting her out first?"

As the girl's voice fell quietly, the power of spatial authority suddenly erupted! A fleeting ripple spread out with her as the center.

Like a drop of water falling into a lake, it splashed the intertwined light and shadow of space, and swept across the hundreds of kilometers nearby in an instant. Then, Silis silently raised her head and watched a void crystal above her side gradually become covered with cracks on its surface, and then shattered in the resonance of space energy!

That’s right, the solid structure floating in the imaginary space was originally the crystallization of the power of the Ruler of the Void.

The essence of the Herrscher of the Void's ability is the manipulation of space. Whether it is the real space within the scope of reality or all other spaces outside it, they are all under the control of the second-order Herrscher's power.

Therefore, subject K-440, who was led by Xilin's spirit, had completely inherited all the techniques for using the laws of space. When she seized the core of the Herrscher of the Rock and successfully integrated it into her body, regaining the Herrscher's energy, it was easy for her to enter the imaginary space, and naturally she could interfere with the structures of the imaginary space like Diana...

Sa——

As the crystals collapsed, a small figure fell with the fragments of the void crystals. Xilin's figure flashed past with the light ring, and she picked up the unconscious silver-haired girl. Her bare feet created ripples in the air, and she stepped out of thin air to create a translucent crystal layer, and stood steadily in the air a little higher.

"Well......"

"She doesn't look too bad. Her energy erosion rate is under control, and her soul distortion doesn't seem to be at a dangerous level... The girl is pretty lucky!"

After using her perception to check the unconscious silver-haired girl in her arms, Xilin breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at Shiris below again, and deliberately patted the body of the little girl in her arms.

"Huh? Look what this is~ It's actually a soul fragment that came to you on its own initiative! Strange, why don't you absorb it, but seal it up... Why is that?"

"..."

Xilin naturally knew that the girl in her arms was the abnormal individual who had escaped the control of the main body - K438. And now, her consciousness was not recovered by "Xi Lisi", but was sealed in place by the void crystal, which was enough to explain the problem...

However, she was destined not to notice it now.

"Isn't this right? Retrieving soul fragments should be the instinct of intelligent life, but Sister Shilis didn't do that. Is it that she doesn't want to recycle them for the time being, or is it that she simply can't do it?"

The silver-haired woman stood still while listening to Xilin's stand-up comedy. Seeing that the other party had no signs of attacking, Xilin's coquettish tone became more and more artificial.

“Hiss——Could it be~~?! My poor sister Shilis, has a tragic accident like soul distortion happened? Or has she been usurped by some unclean bad creature? It’s really strange~ Why on earth~?”

"What a boring suggestion. What do you want to make me think about?"

"Who knows? If a certain self-deceiving little girl had realized her true situation earlier, she wouldn't have been so ignorant until now, foolishly thinking that she would be the savior of the new world, that she was Shilis herself who had awakened and found a way to change her destiny... That's what you think, right?"

936 The Will of Breaking>>

"......enough."

The woman's sudden cold voice brought the argument to an abrupt end.

"You are already dead, just a ghost in my memory.

I have no interest in your nonsense. I need to remind you of something more important than this."

It was as if all the preparations for the previous conversation were for the topic at hand. The silver-haired woman opened her arms and became as enthusiastic as a religious believer preaching. Even her calm eyes had a rare glow.

"Human civilization needs to strengthen itself in the trial of collapse. The assistance and interference of special individuals will only affect this process. I am the only Herrscher left besides the End. Before her arrival, collapse was the extension of my entire will. Therefore, you, the hypocritical former Herrscher of the Void, should not continue to help humans fight against me. You cannot defeat collapse by relying on collapse. Your self-proclaimed noble protection will only make you an object of reliance for those short-sighted and cowardly civilization termites. If you want humans to awaken, you should let them face collapse with their own strength!"

"Become my follower, Xilin. If I can use your power, it will become another important whip to promote the growth of civilization! In the panic caused by the rebirth of the former Herrscher, I should be able to squeeze out the remaining potential of this civilization more efficiently..."

"Wait, stop for a moment."
