K424 of the Collapse World

--In short, the biggest of all, everything, everything.

The words created by human civilization are not always used to refer to the whole, but are divided into countless concepts in the course of history. For example, the material world and the spiritual world, the virtual world and the real world, in addition to this, the subjective surroundings of a human individual can also be called that person's world.

However, these concepts that were born with civilization are not important at this moment.

Most people refer to the world as the Earth on which all humankind lives, the civilization that supports all intelligent life, or all the things that one experiences in life, as well as the gaps between the sky and the earth that are visible to the naked eye. After all, for a simple organism, this is the only scope that needs to be understood.

Although the world can also refer to the entire universe, or even parallel spaces outside the universe or even higher-dimensional infinite dimensions, for ordinary people, this exaggerated concept word that encompasses too much is really unnecessary.

If the planet is destroyed, it means the destruction of the entire human civilization, which means the destruction of the world for humans. As for whether there is a larger outside world, it doesn’t matter at all.

"So, the world we want to destroy is everything in and outside this universe?"

At the end of the stars and the Milky Way, the petite light and shadow listened attentively and whispered her own question.

“No. The world we want to destroy is just a carrier of the word ‘world’, a civilization created by the continuous evolution of intelligent life - that is, the conceptual world in the cognition of ordinary people below the planet.”

"So that's how it is. I understand... Are we going to destroy the world that carries civilization? Just like the small town where everyone used to live, the language they used to communicate with each other, the moral concepts of distinguishing good from evil, as well as literature, art, science and all these man-made things? Can we just destroy them?"

"Yes, we must transform the medium in which they exist into its most primitive form, and if they are born again, we must eliminate them again, no matter how many times. This is our duty in this system, and it is also the sin we must bear. This is the price we pay for betraying our own civilization and continuing to live..."

"elder sister?"

"I'm sorry... because of my selfishness, you have become such a hateful existence. At that time... I just wanted us to be able to survive, to live together no matter what the cost...

——Then, He responded to me——But now I would rather die and be trampled to death by that monster!"

"Sister, are you regretting this?"

"I don't know... We are indeed lucky to have survived, luckier than the other billions of people in that world. But what is the difference between us who accepted the contract and those monsters who destroyed our former home... It is really ironic that inhuman beings with human will live as the eternal enemy of mankind."

"But I don't regret it."

"Really? Thank you. I thought you would hate me for deciding your fate without my permission..."

"I won't hate you, sister. No matter in the past or in the future, I won't hate you. Perhaps, we have become the things we once hated the most, but no matter what... at least, we can be together forever."

"Yes, you are right. We will never be separated again. We will be together forever like this... Tiana"

Even if I become an inhuman monster, can I continue to feel this sincere warmth?

This is probably the last bit of tenderness left in the world...

The bloody red curtain blurred his eyes, and the pain in his limbs continuously stimulated his tired nerves, like a cancer attached to the bone that slowly stripped away the strength of his torso.

How long has it been since the light descended? How long have I walked forward?

Kerry didn't know. He didn't have the energy to think so much now. He just kept squeezing out his remaining physical strength and walked towards the distance in this seemingly endless city of ruins.

Almost all of his body was covered with piercing wounds and bloodstains, and countless tiny granulations were twisting at the wounds, quickly filling and repairing his injuries. He had already fused the Honkai gene at a young age, and possessed the regenerative ability equivalent to that of Honkai creatures.

However, no matter how strong the regeneration power is, there is a limit that cannot be crossed...

The resurrected Herrscher of Corrosion suddenly launched an attack, destroying all the electronic equipment systems of the entire base in the blink of an eye. The huge strategic defense system instantly became useless. The factors of collapse easily passed through the open soul-simulating steel gates and infiltrated every structure of the entire base...

The motionless Titans become puppets of the Herrscher, the fragile humans become the dead soldiers of the Honkai, the Honkai beasts and quantum creatures come at the call of the Herrscher, recreating the disaster of three years ago and turning the entire Changkong City into a purgatory on earth again.

If it were just these, Mei Raiden and Bronya stationed at ME Company, together with the Valkyrie Corps and the Anti-Entropy Elite Forces in the nearby camp, could easily solve the problem at the cost of certain losses.

950 God's Sin >>

However, it seemed that the Honkai Will guessed that this level of destruction would not be enough to break people's will. Therefore, the ten thousand-meter-high light spear that suddenly fell from the sky changed the outcome of this disaster.

——With the magnificent steel fortress of ME Company as the starting point, a mark of more than tens of kilometers tore through the earth, as if it was plowed by the chariot of God, turning the surface into a land of mountains and rivers with thousands of gullies. Even the sky and the clouds were completely penetrated, clearing a pure airspace directly above the city, leaving only the nebula universe spreading under the dark sky in the distance.

There were thousands of golden beams falling from the sky, destroying the newly rebuilt city without hesitation. Countless buildings were reduced to empty shells of broken walls and ruins. The stone roads along with the land were uprooted and scattered around the densely packed small craters.

This wave of light rain alone wiped out 80% of the living things within the coverage area, comparable to the sequence collapse three years ago, instantly turning the huge Changkong City into a dead city.

How long can the survivors who have escaped the divine punishment rain and are struggling to survive in the ruined city survive among the Herrscher apostles wandering around the city?

The soldiers no longer care about the casualties of the citizens. The existence of the light rain will become the primary target of the entire ME military.

But that is a power that no mortal can contend with.

At least, I absolutely cannot fight against it.

Kerry knew this very well. He had a small amount of Honkai power, so he knew the weight of that extraordinary existence better than anyone else. So, he turned his back to the place where the glory descended and fled far away, just to protect the most important thing to him...

The consciousness on the verge of its limit struggled hard in the increasingly dark whirlpool of the abyss, but it never sank into the abyss of death.

Some kind of will was supporting him.

He was carrying more than just his own life.

"K...Lee, put me down..."

"..."

Kerry completely ignored the faint tremor that quietly sounded in his ears, and continued to move forward with heavy steps, holding the girl with his blood-stained arms without wavering at all.

The two people's blue hair mixed in the dark red stains proved their blood relationship.

"Put me down...at least you can still..."

"Shut up."

Looking at the blood foam emerging from the corners of the girl's mouth, he couldn't help but roar in a low voice, interrupting the girl's last moan.

"Elena, if you keep saying this nonsense, I'm going to knock you out and carry you away!"

"You...are so brave, you dare to call...your...name directly..."

The girl's voice became weaker, but she stopped struggling in vain and no longer wasted her energy and life.

She knew her brother well. If it were her, she would never abandon her family at this time...

Even if there are tens of thousands of Honkai beasts ahead.

"......Fool"

The graceful girl in his arms fell completely silent, but her weak breathing became steady.

Kerry breathed a sigh of relief, and once again forced himself to pull himself together, dragging his collapsing body towards the distant ruins, gradually leaving this disaster-stricken land behind him.

In order to save the lives of his loved ones, he can abandon his duties as a soldier without hesitation. Even if he repeats it a hundred times, his choice will not change.

"Ah~~?"

However, danger always finds the cowardly and evasive, no matter what their reasons are.

"Hey... I was just thinking, the first loophole I encountered here

Who could be the fish in the net? This is such an unexpected prey."

An unusually familiar clear voice echoed in the air, and a silver-haired figure who had been blocking the way ahead cast a playful look at the scarred blue-haired young man.

"It's... you?!"

The familiar silver hair in his deep memory, although stained with purple light, still had deep blue eyes. Kerry, who had already stopped, suddenly stopped breathing, and his eyes were filled with shock and fear.

The Herrscher of Honkai who would appear in the disaster area at this time with obvious hostility could only be the attacker who had just cast the Rain of Light...

But why her?!

Appearance can be faked, but the golden spears piercing the sky, the violent yet familiar Honkai energy, and the vibrations that resonate with the Honkai in his body, these obvious clues make the attacker's identity obvious...

How could he have imagined that the powerful man he admired most, the human hero who had thwarted countless Honkai events, would return as the creator of the disaster after a brief disappearance?

How could she...how could she?!

As his eyes met with those golden-purple strange pupils, Kerry took a deep breath, and his scattered pupils focused again, with a calmness on his face without any hesitation.

"No, you're not her."

"You are not her."

Looking directly at the hunter in front of him who was filled with murderous intent, Kerry shook his head in a low voice, denying his own judgment.

(That’s right, no matter what happens, that person will not swing a knife at his companions or attack innocent people!)

He gritted his teeth, slightly turned sideways and lowered his posture, protecting Elena in his arms behind him, not caring that he was completely locked in the sharp gaze of the silver-haired girl.

No matter how similar she is, she will never be the old sister Feng... No! No matter who she is, the Herrscher in front of us must be the enemy of mankind. It is enough to understand this!

(And Sister Feng... Sis Kaede Kaslana would never do such a thing, such a... devilish act of betraying the faith of protection!!)

"No, my mission from the beginning was to destroy civilization. That's my mission as a Herrscher..."

The brief thought was suddenly interrupted, and Kerry looked at the smiling silver-haired girl in astonishment. For a moment, he even forgot to activate his Honkai Beast Pseudo-Core and make the planned desperate counterattack - he knew that he was no match for the girl, and he couldn't take Elena away safely, but at least, he had to carry out the belief of fighting to the end at the last moment.

But now, this plan quietly turned into nothingness as he froze in surprise.

Mind reading?! No... This should be the power of copying the Law of the Heart Herrscher, which can read the shallow thoughts of living things. Shiris showed such a talent a long time ago, and was able to understand and reproduce the power of any other Herrscher she had seen.

"Long time no see~ Little Kerry, it's been a long time since the Far East Alliance reached a settlement with the Destiny Headquarters. "

The silver-haired girl lifted the back of her dress and made a playful and unstandardized gesture. Her slightly mischievous smile was mixed with a hint of inconspicuous steadiness. Her clear and lively sweet voice perfectly matched the gentle figure in her memory from a long time ago...

Kerry was silent. His self-denial argument was completely shattered by the familiar feeling from deep in his memory. No matter how much he didn't want to believe it, the identity of the person in front of him was basically no longer a mystery.

Really... is that you?

"No, strictly speaking, I am not her. I am just a numbered product from the same series as her, the Xilin Project Fusion Test Subject K458, which is the name of the body in front of you."

A feather of light flashed in the girl's pupils, and the power of the Herrscher of the Heart was activated again.

Qqun: 43659389 "But in essence, I am still her - because this body is driven by the soul fragments of Shilis's body and is remotely controlled by the body. This body is an extension of her will, so there is no problem in considering me as her."

"What did you say...?!"

The awareness of facing death with indifference was overwhelmed by greater shock and doubt, causing the young soldier to stagnate again.

"Come to think of it... This is quite different from the reunion scene I imagined. But I'm sure you have the same idea, haha..."

The girl smiled cheerfully, and beneath her casual tone, her cold murderous intent was still undisguised. The combination of the two did not feel contradictory, but instead made her aura as a Herrscher even stronger.

They regard all living things as ants and kill thousands of lives as a joke. This is the nature of the Herrschers.

"It's really strange... Look at what I did - I turned a city into a disaster site. Oh, don't look at me with those questioning eyes. To be honest, I'm more confused than you right now!"

The girl rubbed her head in distress, her slightly blocked mouth and her

Her innocent eyes full of grievance, at the moment when her identity as the perpetrator was completely confirmed, made Kerry feel a deep sense of irony and absurdity.

However, before he could express his opinion, the silver-haired girl looked around at the ruins and spoke slowly with a strange expression.

"This is Changkong City, which has been rebuilt to accommodate millions of survivors. It is a valuable base for the development and expansion of the anti-entropy forces. When I came here, I should have walked into the main gate of the ME base politely and went to see Lei Dian Longma to reminisce about the past, but I suddenly decided to drop five million light spears in the air as if I had a brain seizure."

The girl spread out her hands, and wherever her fingertips brushed, there was cracked ground covered with craters. The ruins of the broken buildings were hollowed out from the inside by countless penetrating beams of light, and they were crumbling like severely weathered sand and stone, bringing destruction equally to all traces of civilization, except for the deformed and collapsed creatures wandering the city.

"After doing this cruel thing, facing those innocent people who were injured and wailing in the ruins, I should have released the power of creation and spread the light of salvation to those suffering people. But I did not hesitate to release the opposite power of withering to finish them off, causing all the living things in front of me to die in pain."

The girl raised her hand, and the black particles that were diffused in all directions gathered in her palm. The power of withering that devoured countless life energies was recovered by her and replenished the little energy consumed in her body.

"And now, I have met you. Seeing my once important partner in trouble, it seems self-evident what I would do, but now... you should be able to guess what I will do next."

The silver-haired girl took a step forward, and an overwhelming aura of terror enveloped Kerry's head. Even if she did not use any energy dissipation to deter, the aura of the Herrscher, the pinnacle of Honkai creatures, was enough to strip away all resistance from the poor mortal.

"It's really strange, Kerry and Elena... The people in front of me are clearly old acquaintances, but in my heart I can't help but want to tear you into pieces, just like I killed those innocent mortals, and then continue to look for other fish that have escaped the net... Is there something wrong with my mind?"

The girl pointed her palm at the trembling young man, and the little energy she had released gathered together to form a small translucent ball of light.

The annihilation energy was of extremely low purity, but it was completely enough to destroy two seriously injured humans.

"My mind was clearly clear, and I knew that Shiris should never do this, but in my subconscious, I thought there was nothing wrong with this kind of violence. I even took action before I even hesitated or considered it. By the time I reacted, it was all done. I didn't even feel the slightest bit of guilt."

"This is not normal... Even if my subconscious mind is beginning to dull my cognition, this kind of slaughter that is tantamount to genocide is definitely not normal. But there is no doubt that my current cognition and behavior all come from the will of my main body. I really want to wipe out all humans, resume my duties as a Herrscher and destroy civilization. After all, even the memory link of my main body has been broken... But if my main body has really succumbed to the will of Honkai, then why can a lower-level parallel consciousness like me still have divergent ideas and question myself?"

She murmured, her palm full of destructive energy not launching an attack. She was talking to herself more than explaining to Kerry.

"So... what about other possibilities? For example, this clone is actually trapped in some kind of illusion created by the enemy. Everything around it is a false illusion. It must destroy the entire space it is in to escape the predicament. My subconscious indiscriminate attack is also a hint from the original body... Or, in fact, this city and the Anti-Entropy Organization are the traitors of human civilization. The original body learned this news through some means, but was ambushed and fell into a state of inability to act. At the last moment, it gave vague instructions to the clone, using this extreme method to eliminate the threat in front of it...?"

The girl suddenly dispersed the energy ball in her hand and scratched her hair in annoyance, her attention shifting away from Kerry.

"Forget it. There are too many possibilities for this situation, and I have no way to verify these speculations. After all, the priority of the destruction order seems to be higher than my individual will... Although it would be a very unpleasant thing to kill a friend, I have no other choice now... I just hope that this process will not be too boring."

The sound of the sword breaking through the air resounded through the sky, but it stopped abruptly when it fell. The silver-haired girl held a blade as thin as a cicada's wing between her two fingers, and easily resolved the slash of the sword wrapped in arcs; with her other hand, she pointed the sword finger at the void beside her shoulder, deflecting the trajectory of the sickle blade in the waves of light and shadow, allowing the sickle to cut down from behind her by a millimeter, gently sweeping off a strand of silver hair.
