K424 of the Collapse World

"Just the facts. If you insist, I will not go against your will. I will just give the correct advice to the superiors before executing it."

"........."

"Yes, I understand. When the planet's dawn and dusk change, her soul will be restored to its original state... and merge with me again."

The girl compromised.

This time, the white figure did not accommodate her thoughts and issued an absolute and indisputable order with the highest authority of the Honkai system.

Even as a Ruler of the End with her own soul, her independent consciousness has always been within the scope allowed by the other party.

This manager from a higher dimension seemed to always enjoy watching the free development of things. But when he was in a whim, he would also choose to actively interfere in the battle - even such a small thought could not be controlled by a mere toy.

The shadow of the girl nodded slightly, and her slender figure gradually faded on the surface of the moon, dissolved into the nearby starry sky, and quietly fell towards the planet shrouded in dark light.

This time, she had no choice.

However, even if the ultimate goal has been determined, it is still up to her to decide how to do it.

(Will a miracle happen again?)

The biological weapon with four mechanical blade legs slowly fell down.

The feather arrows, overflowing with dark red electric currents, embedded themselves into the energy core in the Death Weaver's chest and abdomen, accurately destroying the power source of this semi-mechanical creature.

Death Weaver——World Serpent's original biological weapon. It uses the Honkai Corrosion infection to strengthen the torso of living humans, destroys their consciousness center and uses chips to control them, and then uses large-scale mechanical transformation to strengthen them, thus creating a "death mecha" that is completely controlled by the terminal computer.

However, like the Anti-Entropy Mecha, the Death Weaver, which is controlled by chip electronic signals, has become the most convenient puppet servant under the infiltration of the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion.

Boom——!

The gray-haired woman holding the Third God's Key turned her head back, the blazing fire reflected in her eyes - the fireworks after the explosion of the experimental warehouse seemed to be smaller than expected.

In front of the burning sea of ​​fire, the brown-haired woman silently threw away a controller, letting it fall on the edge of the metal plate, and fell into the abyss through the gap in the metal partition.

Looking at the "culprit" who took the initiative to detonate the armory, Raven blinked in surprise.

Except for the mechas and biological weapons that were active in the base, the rest of the mechanical weapons were stored in the experimental warehouse. Facing these defecting mechanical creations, the best way was to catch them all as soon as possible.

948 Burning Snake Cave>>

Q group: 543659389, "What a surprise! I thought you would try your best to save your research results..."

"Don't lump me in with those short-sighted fools. I know what's important."

The masked brown-haired woman growled, not disguising her furious mood at the moment. Obviously, even if one could make the right choice immediately, anyone would be heartbroken to ruin decades of hard work in an instant.

Looking at the silent jackal standing at the broken end of the passage, the raven shook his head helplessly and walked forward to pull the jackal's shoulder.

"Let's go, this place is going to explode soon. Since you can see it clearly, you should put your life first now."

Although they usually don't get along well with the jackals, now is clearly not the time to start an internal conflict.

"What do you know?!!"

However, unexpectedly, the seemingly calm jackal shook off her hand. The next moment, the brown-haired woman turned her head suddenly, and her bloodshot eyes behind the mask were full of hysteria.

She rushed to a terminal console, ignored the system error pop-up window on the screen, and placed her hands on the keyboard.

"My Lord... My Lord gave this base to me personally and asked me to be responsible for all the financial expenses and scientific research projects of the World Serpent Headquarters. What an honor of trust! But now... it's all over, bastard! It's all over! I have failed the Lord's trust. My perfect firewall was actually breached by a mere electronic virus? This kind of thing... I will never accept it!!"

Sure enough, just like before, this psychopath is never reliable at critical moments.

Raven took two steps back without saying a word. When she saw the bloodshot and crazy eyes of the Jackal, she knew that the Jackal would not listen to anything anymore.

It's not surprising that this woman, who is so fanatical about Kevin that she is morbidly obsessed with him, would do anything.

The spreading molten fire began to climb upwards, gradually spreading over the metal facilities below. The dark shadows vaguely surging in the sea of ​​fire, like staggering undead, slowly approached their location.

The high-temperature resistance conceived when the Death Weaver was designed ironically demonstrated the perfect success of this technology at this moment.

"I will not fail... I will not fail! Raven! I order you... I order you to help me defend this place and destroy all the remaining out-of-control mechas!"

"...Please allow me to refuse, Ms. Jackal."

The gray-haired girl turned away suddenly and no longer looked at the poor woman who was operating the terminal in vain.

"Then get out of here!! The World Snake doesn't need trash who run away from the battlefield. My Lord...when the Lord returns, he will never let you off easily! People like you..."

"..."

Putting the Jackal's curses behind him, Raven walked out of the mechanical facility that was on the verge of collapse, and used the energy wings and auxiliary claws of the combat armor to move at high speed in the complex structure of the base passage, leaving the howling of monsters and the screams of humans far behind.

Just as she stepped into the ventilation duct on the tenth floor underground, a violent tremor accompanied by a deafening roar passed through! Raven paused, barely keeping her balance, and then she found that the metal cabin under her feet had been flooded by the molten metal that had spread up...

By the way, near the terminal on the floor where the Jackal was just now is the third Honkai reactor in the underground area.

Obviously, the base facilities below the -11th floor have probably been completely destroyed by the secondary explosion, and the members trapped there are likely to be killed, including a certain annoying boss...

"Alas... why are you doing this?"

Raven shook his head, sighed at the wolf head mask that flashed through his mind, and continued to move forward towards the upper passage, directly to the surface...

Deserting from the battlefield? Even the communication terminal of the World Serpent had completely lost signal. How would the Lord, who was nowhere to be found, punish her?

The Houkai factor that spread through the electric current network and corroded and controlled all matter was undoubtedly the Herrscher of Corrosion mentioned in the latest battle report. Not to mention why the Herrscher No. 12, who should have been determined dead, suddenly resurrected, whether this was an attack by the Herrscher against the World Serpent Base or an indiscriminate destruction around the world, it was no longer important at this moment.

——The most important thing now is to survive.

949 No Redemption

The Herrscher erosion incident that had previously broken out at the Anti-Entropy Headquarters and the Far East Branch was resolved in just a few hours, and no extra information was leaked to the outside world.

Everyone thought that the series of disasters caused by this Herrscher would end here. However, the uncertainty of the collapse completely broke the inherent rules of hundreds of years, and the Herrscher, who was supposed to retire, came again...

The people who were completely unaware of the coming of the Corrosion Ruler the day before will not be aware of it at all today.

............

"Network connection failed?"

In the urban accommodation area of ​​the Far East Honshu, a young man squatting in the room with a mobile phone in his hand frowned tightly as he watched the words "connection interrupted" suddenly pop up on the video screen.

"Strange, is the website under maintenance? But things like this should be notified in advance..."

He didn't pay attention to this minor disconnection and tried to refresh a few more times. After all, in the age of advanced communications, network signal fluctuations were not uncommon.

However, when he refreshed the webpage, not only the video website but even the browser's homepage showed a page indicating that the network connection was interrupted. The signal bars of his mobile phone dropped to the minimum at some point, and there was even a small cross on the wifi symbol.

"Hey, hey...what's going on here?"

The young man's brows furrowed even more, but he was just a little irritated. An unexpected incident like the Internet outage did not make him think of the seriousness of certain situations.

For example, some kind of malignant energy factor has quietly invaded his mobile phone system through the website under maintenance...

"What bad luck!"

The good mood of the holiday was completely ruined. The young man put away his mobile phone with a curse and prepared to leave the house to go out and take a look.

But at this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly began to heat up, and in just two seconds it emitted a burnt plastic smell, causing a burning pain in his thigh pocket.

“Damn it…!”

The young man hurriedly took out his cell phone and was about to throw this soldering iron-like thing far away, but the phone, which had expanded to half melted, suddenly exploded. The violent small explosion turned his entire right hand into a bloody mess, and three fingers disappeared!

"Ah! Damn it! This damn Samsung phone! I shouldn't have bought this crap..."

Such a sudden disaster and the severe pain that followed made the young man unable to help but curse. He tremblingly held his bloody wrist, turned around and prepared to run out of the door to call for help.

But the next moment, he suddenly widened his eyes, staring at the cross-section of his limbs that were blown up, and his breathing became rapid.

Strange purple lines spread out from the wound, crawling upwards along the surface of his intact arm, gradually turning the nearby skin grayish white.

What is this? It looks so familiar, like something that appeared in the news before, called Honkai or something...

He stared blankly at the rapid spread of the purple lines, his brain gradually became dull, and he had forgotten what to do next.

A moment later, he heard the screams of his neighbor next door, sporadic gunshots nearby, and the dull sound of something being crushed heavily downstairs, like fresh minced meat being crushed in a kitchen utensil...

Minced meat...minced meat with blood and broken bones, it should be something delicious, right?

I want to try it...right now!

............

There was a reason why the Ruler of Erosion could reduce the entire civilization on the planet's surface to scorched earth in just one day during the pre-civilization era when the Fire Moth was at its most powerful.

It deposits a virtual body of pure energy between all things, turning the objects it is attached to into indiscriminate followers that can be driven. It spreads rapidly like a meme, implanting the deadly virus of Honkai into the organisms it comes into contact with. In the shortest time possible, it is enough to create a total number of Honkai creatures that far exceeds any previous one.

This time, the corrosive factors sown by the Bound Herrscher of the End were out of control as soon as they arrived, and could no longer be easily blocked by Iselin's power.

The disaster of collapse has reached this point, and the worst outcome is inevitable.

Because the most terrifying thing about the Corrosion Ruler - the ability to completely wipe out the Fire Moth Era civilization - has begun to work.

.........

"Fill the gap and don't let them get close!!"

"Hold on, kill those damn zombies!"

At the military base in the North American desert, the all-electronic information command system had been completely paralyzed by the Herrscher's attack. The surviving soldiers organized a defense line and fought hard against the mutated Honkai creatures.

949 No Redemption>>

Blood and smoke filled the passage. The pale zombies staggering forward, the mutant humanoids holding sickles, and the bloated and deformed huge aliens were like ocean waves hitting the soldiers' defense line. Although the special guns from Anti-Entropy and Destiny could easily tear apart the offensive of the Honkai Frenzy, the number of enemies seemed endless...

"Don't be afraid! Most of them move slowly, and our new weapons are extremely effective against them."

"The radio must be offline only temporarily. The higher-ups will organize a rescue team soon. Until then, we must hold on!"

"Right! Our allies will not abandon us. As long as we hold on until the Valkyrie of Destiny arrives to support us, these stupid monsters will be doomed!"

"Okay! I'll try harder too..."

With the courage to fight supported by their beliefs, these soldiers should not be defeated by the relatively weak secondary Honkai creatures before their ammunition runs out.

However, most of the time, the predictions based on theory are always broken by so-called anomalies.

Under the attack of the erosion factor, the strategic weapons control system that had lost control suddenly resumed operation under the eyes of the surviving soldiers. Rows of intercontinental missile launchers were unlocked and had entered the stage of preparation for launch.

Wouldn't it be easy to destroy these ordinary Honkai monsters with the strategic missiles using cutting-edge modern technology?

Seeing the weapon system resume operation, the soldiers' morale was boosted. They immediately eliminated all the Honkai creatures in the small area and watched their own missiles take off.

However, before the survivors began to cheer and celebrate their victory, they suddenly noticed that the long-range missiles that continued to rise into the air did not seem to be aimed at the tide of Honkai beasts not far away, but flew over the Honkai beasts and flew forward, across the edge of the desert, and directly to the densely populated area of ​​towns and settlements.

Then, in the almost dull eyes of the surviving soldiers, missiles like a swarm of meteors fell towards the distant city, and the intertwined dance of flames and explosive winds rose from the plain as a second sun...

Even though they were hundreds of miles apart, the explosions in the distance were still bright and dazzling. But even though the light was blinding, everyone stared blankly at the city that was about to be destroyed, watching the place where they lived being engulfed by the continuous explosions.

What happened? Was the city also attacked by Honkai creatures, so that the Honkai occupied the entire city and a major purge was needed to save the survivors?

Or......

The soldier standing at the door of the command and control room turned his head and looked at the empty strategic center covered with blood. The unmanned terminal was still flashing various pop-up commands, as if it was being gently manipulated by an invisible hand.

The faintly visible black particles seemed to outline the outline of a slender human figure. In the blurred hollow of the eye, a mocking gaze passed through the gap of the void and fell into the depths of his pupils, and the dark pollution curse took root in it...

Seeing this, the soldier's stiff expression gradually collapsed, and his terrified look was close to collapse - he had gradually understood everything, but he no longer had the chance to say it out.

·————————————·

Although the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion is enough to cover the entire planet, the limit of its range also means an equal amount of control accuracy.

weaken.

The low-intelligence Honkai beasts and death warriors only act according to their instincts, and they will not deliberately and precisely carry out genocide like some humans in war times.

The people who survived the disaster, whether by luck or misfortune, gathered together instinctively and moved toward the oval buildings in the center of the city. They did not understand the specific purpose of those buildings, but it was enough for them to know that they were once the creations of the Anti-Honkai Organization.

The basis for the cooperation between Anti-Entropy and Destiny, hundreds of void-blocking shelters built around the world for the final implementation of the transfer plan, have now become physical shelters, with survivors from all directions constantly pouring in...

They didn't know that although these special metal layers that isolated imaginary energy were physically strong, they still couldn't stop the sharp teeth and claws of high-level Honkai creatures. Blindly gathering together would only accelerate their death in the false sense of security brought by the group effect.

The short figure standing on the top of the oval building looked down at the people rushing into the shelter one after another. The indifferent smile on the little face half covered by silver hair gradually turned into joy.

One side of the clear and bright blue eyes was already covered with an evil and pure purple light.

"Gather together, gather together again... Hehe~ That's it..."

--world

This is a word that is on the lips of many people.

In a broad sense, the world is the sum of everything people know, whether it is observable or unobservable objective existence, or as a conceptual carrier at the general spiritual level.
