K424 of the Collapse World

The next moment, the sickle blade retracted, the long sword shattered, and the two attacking figures retreated forward and backward at the same time, surrounding the unmoved silver-haired girl.

The black-haired girl who controlled the thunder replenished the long sword transformed from energy. The physical lightning surrounded Elena and Kerry, pushing them far to the edge of the battlefield.

A blue-haired girl holding a giant sickle emerged from the half-real and half-illusory light and shadow, protecting the gray-haired figure behind her. Tong Yao's heavy blade burned with the blue fire of the phantom sea.

"

Mei, Seele, and Bronya, you are finally here... Hehe, it's worth it that I have been talking to myself for so long."

Looking at the three Herrschers who descended at the same time, the silver-haired girl exhaled lightly, and her calm eyes slightly lit up.

"Sister Shilis..."

Xier bit her lip, a sad and fragile expression flashed across her face, and then she tightened her grip on the long handle of the sickle again.

Mei and Bronya were the same, they wanted to say something but stopped themselves several times, but in the end they said nothing. Although they wanted to loudly question the girl in front of them why she did this, at this moment, the fierce killing intent from the silver-haired girl seemed to have clearly stated the conclusion that it was useless to say more.

Yes, no matter who she was or what her reasons were, she was indeed the culprit of this tragedy, and - she was obviously not satisfied with this.

She must have known from the beginning that there were three Herrscher-level beings in Changkong City, and she was ready to fight against the powerful enemy when the rain of destruction was spread.

"Oh?"

Looking at the chopped hair drifting in the wind, the silver-haired girl's expression showed a hint of appreciation.

"Not bad... the subtlest illusion combined with a surprise slash, but unfortunately it was still too naive. Xier, if you had aimed at my heart or throat instead of my shoulder, perhaps this battle would have been over."

A golden shadow cross appeared behind her, and the power of the law of restraint began to operate. Holding the long-handled sword and spear made of condensed crystal, the ground beneath the feet of the silver-haired girl suddenly cracked.

"Let me see for myself how much fun this civilized Herrisher whom I once helped to create, this powerful fellow whom I once trusted, can bring me in this battle?"

952 The Cursed Road Ahead

The new job is an endless and boring cycle.

"...It's over now."

Standing on the farthest dividing line between the starry sky and the land, the hypocritical god took one last look at the crumbling battlefield of the past, then turned away indifferently.

As the last spark of resistance died out, the divine ring that the Herrscher had imprinted on the surface of the planet began to expand infinitely, swallowing up the mountains and rivers, evaporating the oceans, and turning the entire world into a silent nothingness.

Beyond the endless scorched earth of the melted earth, the brilliant Milky Way inlaid with billions of stars is faintly visible under the slightly dazzling spots of sunlight.

The world is thus returned to zero, and all things in the world regress to their most primitive state. Even the gas layer surrounding the planet has returned to its original state. The sky without particle scattering has forgotten the blue cradle of life, exposing the bare surface directly to the universe.

The lonely figure standing on the surface of the desolate planet is already a redundant existence in this dead world.

"On the day before Judgment Day, I remember this place was still a golden wheat field, with sparse settlements of houses scattered in the green fields surrounding the mountains, nurturing those tiny lives..."

Picking up a handful of dirt from the scorched plain, the god watched the dust drift away through her fingers. The girl-like god closed her eyes and recreated the old scene in her mind.

"It's a pity that these not-so-prosperous beauties still bother some people's eyes."

Like the real and virtual ends of a mirror, another figure was projected onto the desolate land like an illusion, appearing opposite the silver god.

"Let's go, sister. The civilization of this era has ended, the world has returned to peace, the signs of life on this land have returned to zero, and the condition-triggered module restart is about to begin."

"Yes, it's over. The next time I trim the weeds in the observer's garden will be more than 4 billion years later, and it will be the end of another reincarnation... But the buds of infinite evolution of life will eventually bear the fruits of civilization again. Our labor is far from over, unless a brave man appears in the next era to defeat the world-destroying demon king..."

"Sister, wait until we leave this galaxy before continuing your usual sentimental conversation, okay? Our existence will affect the cycle reconstruction of this system, and you, don't like meaningless variables."

"Ah... sorry, let's go."

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

......

You are sad...

Feeling sad for those humble beings whom I have never met.

Do you still feel regret until now?

"elder sister?"

"..."

Or should this be our destination?

"Sister, you are distracted again."

"Tiana, what did you just say?"

"Well, I mean, before we fall asleep again, let's go to Betelgeuse together. Another star is about to go out near Orion. The supernova at the end of the world is really beautiful."

"Hmm...? When did you become interested in the changes of the stars? Haven't you seen such boring fireworks many times before?"

"Even if you have eternal life and an immortal soul, it is necessary to properly entertain your emotions and mind. Sister, you always end everything by yourself before I come, but after you finish, can you at least stay with me for a while?"

"But Tiana, why did you suddenly

..."

"I just don't want my sister to become like the other so-called 'companions', whose rationality as a living being is worn out by time and turned into a disposable killing machine..."

"Don't worry, I will never lose any trace of my soul. I promise... never."

Things that were not done and wrong choices made will eventually settle and take root in your heart and turn into regret that cannot be relieved.

Regret is a terminal illness that can only be cured by turning back time.

But I already have the power to control time, why should I be tortured by this mortal disease?

“—I regret it.”

The sharp spear with glowing light pierced through the long rainbow, and the slender spear shaft rubbed against the heavy sword held by the opponent, suppressing the golden broad-bladed heavy sword, and then completely defeating the opponent's offensive.

After a brief confrontation, the red-haired woman holding the heavy sword fell from the sky to the earth like a meteor. The collapsed rocks and the bursting wind spread out, adding a few more scars to this scarred island.

The silver-haired girl rode the wind and stood in the air, carrying a golden-bladed spear and looking down proudly at the weakling at her feet. She watched the red-haired girl slowly push away the rocks pressing on her body, struggle to climb out of the collapsed crack, and stand up again breathlessly with the big sword, and their eyes met again——

"I regret that I shouldn't have changed your fate."

The moment the woman resumed her fighting stance, the cold light of the spear fell again, and thrusts like a violent storm followed one after another, colliding with the golden heavy sword in the sky, creating countless light and shadows. But after this fleeting confrontation, the heavy sword's defensive position was overturned without any suspense. The butt of the spear shot out and landed on the woman's waist and abdomen, smashing her hard into the ruins in the distance. She knocked down several walls and rolled out from the back, staggering and stabbing the sword into the ground to recover.

But before she could take a breath, the golden spear shadow of death came again! The silver-haired girl shook her wrist lightly, and the spear tip as thin as wheat spikes hit the sword like a heavy artillery, knocking the woman who was trying to block it away again.

"You should have been a hero. Even though your body was broken, you dared to seize the power of killing gods with your mortal body and raised the rebellious blade to the sky. Even if you were at the end of your rope and had to survive, you could still carry out your belief in saving the guardian and fulfill your final duty... Although it would be a pity, your life should have reached such a height—"

952 The Cursed Future>>

Holding the golden spear with a broken blade, the silver-haired girl crossed nearly a hundred meters in an instant as if strolling in a garden, and swung the spear at the retreating red-haired woman with her backhand. One strike dispersed the thunder drawn by the sword, and two strikes shattered the ice condensed on the blade. When the third strike was swung, it collided with the golden sword wrapped in flames. The arc-shaped transparent shock wave mixed with the blazing flames exploded, turning the broken surface into a sea of ​​fire.

"I really admire you like that... I admire your courage and awareness, and I respect your sincerity and faith. Therefore, I carefully watched your experience, and when I was confused, I handed over Ji Xuanyuan's holy scar to you and never took it back. I even guided you to obtain the sword, trying to complete your imperfect adventure in the Xuanyuan chapter -"

The spear swung in a round dance, completely dispelling the raging fire and thunder! The broken spear tip was repaired in the halo, and fell on the sword guard that was hastily blocking it. Under the brutal force of the silver-haired girl, the spear shaft was bent to the limit...

"——But what did I get in return for what I did?"

Shine——

The spear was thrust upward against the heavy sword, and the explosive force from the arc of the spear caused Jizi to lose balance and float in the air. The silver-haired girl turned the spear over with her backhand and threw a fierce spear at Jizi in the air!

"My gift and support, the resonance between Ji Lin's stigma and Xuanyuan Sword, should have allowed you to grow beyond the original, even without the Godfall Sword and the Blank Key. Moreover, your body that was hollowed out by the artificial stigma has been completely repaired by the energy of the pure stigma! Now, Wuliangta Jizi should have the power to rival the Herrscher - but what's wrong with you now?"

The javelin cut through the air flow like a golden meteor, piercing towards Ji Zi's heart as her pupils shrank sharply, and collided with the protective energy of the Xuanyuan Sword, but was barely bounced off by the energy shield, thus resolving this seemingly fatal attack.

But the next moment, the already thin energy shield was shattered by the small fist, and the silver-haired girl who teleported in front of her blasted out a punch that sank heavily into the center of the red-haired woman's chest, causing her breathing to stagnate.

"Too weak! Even a mere clone of mine can put you in a difficult fight, and without using any rules, I can force you into a desperate situation with just a spear...Aren't you facing a serious crisis now? Could it be that your ruthlessness that dares to face the gods will only be used in specific situations?"

The girl raised her fist again, and a dark red light condensed between the peaks of her fists - the inch-force that applied the law of gravity opened up the sky and struck straight at Ji Zi who was at zero distance!

"Sure enough, I was wrong at that time. I shouldn't have interfered with the damn fate of the paper people!"

Relying on her instinctive combat experience, Ji Zi tried her best

She tried hard to hold the blade horizontally in front of her, and the pressure on her wrist almost at the same time made her realize that she had barely blocked the attack after all.

"..."

The silver-haired girl narrowed her eyes, looked at the place where her fist had landed, the side of the Xuanyuan Sword with mountains, rivers and plants engraved on it, and suddenly sneered.

"Heh... Xuanyuan Sword, a relic that carries Ji Xuanyuan's will to protect the Shenzhou Continent for thousands of years, is indeed not something that can be inherited casually even if there are stigmata that match it! A fake is a fake, this is not your opportunity, without the trials and blessings destined by fate, the person who should have become a hero will only be mediocre... Enough, a terribly disappointing result."

I'm really sorry to disappoint you, but I also want to become stronger! ——Jizi responded in her heart, but there was no sound in reality.

When there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the one who can still have time to speak during the battle must be the one with overwhelming strength.

"Damn it... If I can't even stop you, how can you... Wait, why do I need you to stop me? I'm clearly going to destroy these damn insects now, why would I want an enemy to stop me?!"

Suddenly, the silver-haired girl rubbed her head, and her murderous tone became strange, and her pupils, filled with a faint purple light, were tainted with a hint of madness that did not belong to her.

"That's right... I find your weakness ridiculous and infuriating, but it's undeniable that this is still a good thing for me! Destiny and Anti-Entropy have been completely disrupted by the resurrected Herrscher of Corrosion. As long as we defeat you... no one in the Far East Branch can stop us!"

Listening to the girl's increasingly hostile words, Ji Zi solemnly raised the giant sword. Perhaps, what she will face next is not the kind of easy attack just now, but the power of a true Herrscher.

He suddenly broke into the ruins of the Far East Branch's base and launched an offensive against the garrison without explanation, instantly crushing the fragile base defenses, and then started a battle with me who had rushed over, constantly saying some inexplicable words in the middle...

Jizi couldn't tell whether this crazy girl was the girl she knew. The other party claimed to be the clone of Shirley, and from appearance to ability characteristics and even memory impression, she was exactly the same as Shirley, except for the subtle irritable personality, there was almost no difference from the original.

In any case, if she really wants to betray civilization, she must be stopped...

Although her logic was confusing, Shirley's previous behavior clearly conveyed a message - she must be defeated!

No matter what the cost, we must stop this disaster from spreading!

(Shilis, maybe my strength is not as strong as you expect, and I don’t have that kind of glorious and great past, but I will prove to you... I will never let you down!)

Ji Zi's grip on the sword tightened even more, and she herself did not notice that the golden light on the handle of the golden broad-bladed giant sword and the decorative tail of the sword faded away and was filled with pure darkness...

953 Far East Collapse

Even the Xuanyuan Sword, which carries countless legends and myths, is ultimately just one of the many condensations of Honkai energy in this collapsed world, a relic of a previous civilization known as the Tenth Key of God.

Humans can use Honkai to unleash its power to annihilate the enemy and protect themselves, but the essence of Honkai, which means erosion and corruption, cannot be eliminated no matter what.

Even Ji Xuanyuan, who wields this sword, will have his mind and will blackened by the wear and tear of time, and will be corroded and eaten away by the creation of the collapse. When the holy scar that condenses all her spiritual energy resonates with a Valkyrie who is not completely compatible with her, how can she ensure that only the inherited power is awakened, and not the dark side of corrosion?

The pitch-black flame quietly ignited, expanded, and then contracted again, flowing around the red-haired woman like a whirlpool.

Jizi held up the blackened broadsword, blood flowing from her forehead and seeping into her eyes. Black flames and dark gold thunder continued to disperse around the giant sword, and Jizi silently endured the baptism of this power, with the dizziness and blood-colored afterglow reflecting the damaged ruins of the Far East Base.

(I have to defend the last refuge of this base and keep my students and team members alive. I have to stop that crazy asshole! Phew... She is not the real Shiris anyway, just a remote puppet...)

With the essence of the stigmata energy, her physical strength was rapidly increased. As if it was a planned decisive scene, she once again obtained the prerequisite for a showdown with the silver-haired girl. Her rising momentum competed with the golden ring in the sky.

She could feel that there seemed to be some impurities in her thoughts, and some dark thoughts seemed to be gradually emerging. But it didn't matter, because she was sure that it had no effect on the current goal.

(I want to defeat her here... Kill her once and for all! Make sure she can no longer coordinate with the Herrscher to attack. Whatever the real Shiris is, the one in front of me is just a fake... Right?)

"How pathetic! Your last resort is to activate the Xuanyuan Sword.

"You want to sacrifice your body to recreate the last moment of Ji Lin by fermenting the dark energy for tens of millions of years? However, with your mediocre qualifications, it is worthy of praise to be able to do this."

The silver-haired girl lightly turned the cross-blade spear in her hand, raised one hand and pressed down, slowly covering the light curtain of restraining power towards Heiyan's figure.

“However, even if you are lucky enough to defeat me and stop the erosion factor that is wreaking havoc in the Far East Branch, after you drink this cursed wine, what kind of existence will be born from the fragments of your will? I am really looking forward to it! Hahahaha…”

The silver-haired girl laughed wildly but received no response from Himeko Murata.

In response, the only thing that came down towards the light curtain was the completely blackened sword of God...

Explosive winds, tsunamis -

Beyond the distant horizon, as the sudden eruption of pitch-black flames and the cross-like golden shadow competed to cover the sky, at the other end of the artificial island of the base, in a city on the east coast of the far east Honshu Island, a blazing white halo of destruction quietly rose, reflecting with the golden light in the distance, slightly illuminating the city harbor under the dark starry sky.

This was once a nuclear power plant that was illegally opened. It provided convenience to countless people in the Far East at the cost of polluting the blue sea. However, this karma was eventually repaid to the humans here through the mischief of the Erosion Ruler.

The dissipating heat wave covered everything, and the rapidly expanding high-temperature gas engulfed the swirling dust tornado, forming a fiery red mushroom-shaped cloud. The spreading shock wave set off a huge wave of smoke and dust that swept across the entire area, turning that side of the earth into a burning ruin of dust and flames. The rich purple radiation glow quietly split under the swirling dust.

The huge amount of pure energy from an uncontrolled nuclear explosion, after destroying large-scale civilized creations, the continued radiation pollution from its aftermath can also be reused by the Corrosion Ruler, transforming it into more dangerous fusion-core collapse energy and releasing it over a larger area.

Like some kind of chain reaction, after the entire power station and the surrounding cities were destroyed by the explosion, all the high-level energy storage facilities in the four Far Eastern Islands, whether they were power stations or arsenals, fell out of control one after another in a short period of time. After a short time, they were detonated by an invisible hand with the highest threshold of explosive destructive power, leaving countless death cracks on this vicissitudes of life.

The past history of Nagasaki and Hiroshima is no longer worth mentioning in the face of this indiscriminate disaster.

Countless people were turned into ashes by the extremely high temperature of the fusion explosion before they knew it, and left this world without any consciousness or pain - they were unfortunate, but also lucky.

The people who survived the intensive explosions did not have time to fall into chaos of shock and fear before strange purple particles, mixed with countless extending light bands like the Tyndall effect, quickly enveloped them.

It is needless to say what will happen to ordinary people who are corroded by the Honkai. And this extremely large area of ​​extremely high concentration of corrosive Honkai energy can instantly filter out those who are naturally resistant to Honkai. The next moment, these people who could have become anti-Honkai warriors will be torn to pieces by the dead soldiers rushing in from all directions like a tide...

In the thick fog of purple particles, it seemed as if the real scenes of all horror movies in the world were encompassed at once.

The destruction of the Far East is also a reflection of what happened to other lands on this planet at the same time. At this moment when all the major special organizations are busy with their own affairs, it is only a matter of time before the completely out-of-control Herrscher of Corrosion razes all traces of civilization on this planet...

Bang! Bang...!!
