K424 of the Collapse World

Faced with those pitiful existences that were even smaller than mosquitoes and ants, she carelessly scattered destructive light rain made of imaginary matter, just like countless times before, giving these warriors a tragic and equal ending.

However, when she turned around and prepared to leave, that figure somehow crossed the dense rain of death light, stepped onto the same last sky, and stabbed the broken dagger made of ordinary iron into the god's slightly opened right eye...

Coincidence? No, it is definitely not a coincidence.

Innumerable powerful armies that she had encountered before had all trembled and fled in fear at the power that was comparable to that of gods, and they could no longer muster any courage to resist. The process was always the same no matter how many times it happened. She had thought that this was the destined reaction of all mortals. After all, no human with a normal mind would try to fight against a true god.

The moment she made eye contact with the young man, she seemed to understand something...

The brilliance tore the sky apart in the next moment.

The outcome of that battle was not in doubt, but it was the first time that the God Girl spilled her blood on this land...

“Perhaps, humanity is not hopeless.”

After pondering for a long time, an unprecedented determination flashed in the god's eyes.

She raised her head and took in the observation point at the end of time and space. She caught a fleeting loophole in high-dimensional observation, and the hands of the clock in her azure eyes quietly reversed, cutting out a short period of time from the fixed time and space.

"A brave man should be awarded a medal."

In this parallel and independent time, the shackles of the past and the future were easily broken by the girl. She once again returned to the end of the final battlefield.

A scene, the moment when his eyes met with that of the last human warrior.

The blade that broke through the shield once again slashed across her right eye. The blood that flew out of the wound did not fall to the ground, but was pulled towards the opponent's cheek imperceptibly, turning into a sharp blood thorn that pierced through the human skin and quietly merged into the genetic blueprint of the origin of this carbon-based life form...

The break in time ends here.

957 Origin >>

Throughout the entire surface of the planet, when the Seal of God that would restart the world had not yet shone, the Divine Girl carved the intercepted time into the collapsed reset system, overwriting an event that had already occurred and writing a new world line into the restart module of civilization.

"Whether it's next time... or some time in the distant future, I believe that one day, you will be able to fulfill my wish..."

The silver-haired god whispered softly, then suddenly raised her hand and patted her cheek as if to cheer herself up. In the billions of years that she had been performing her duties as a god, she didn't know how long it had been since she had done such a lively girl's behavior.

But now, facing this hope that seems to be right before her eyes, how could she not be happy?

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

However, these subtle movements that could have been hidden from all external observations were seen from the beginning to the end by a pair of blue eyes like hers.

"sorry......"

Just like the god girl who had come to her senses, the other twin god who was secretly watching everything also made a decision that he had been hesitating about for a long time in his heart.

"Please forgive me...sister."

A loud noise that shook the sky erupted from the base island of the Far East Branch.

The spreading black lotus fire ring shrank to the extreme with the last flame explosion, and then the blooming heat wave flower melted everything.

Amid the smoke and dust, a silver figure fell like a torn sack into the rocky ruins in the distance. Most of its delicate silver hair was burnt off, and its body was covered with sword wounds and scorch marks of varying sizes. Its limbs were twisted unnaturally, and it was basically no longer in human form.

These broken wounds no longer repaired themselves, and the clone did not activate her power of creation. The breath of life began to fade from this broken body...

Obviously, the body of the clone was too damaged to maintain the mimic consciousness of the soul fragment. In short, she was dead.

The winner, Ji Zi, holding the Xuan-Yuan Sword, was standing in the center of the black lotus fire ring, leaning the giant sword on the ground and breathing slightly. The black flames and dark thunder surrounding her body showed no signs of dissipating.

"Ms. Wuliangta?"

Jiuxiao dragged his transformed giant sword and walked out from the sea of ​​corpses of countless Honkai creatures, looking at Wuliangta Jizi who was surrounded by flames with some confusion.

Although they had achieved a phased victory in the defensive battle, the comrade's current condition did not seem suitable for celebrating the victory arm in arm.

How should I put it... Could it be that the berserk buff time hasn't expired yet?

Seeing that even after winning the battle, the murderous fighting state had not been resolved, Jiuxiao slowly walked forward, intending to carefully check the condition of his comrade.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Jiuxiao seemed to see that the golden Xuanyuan Sword in Jizi's hand had transformed into a completely different black giant sword in the dark flames; and Jizi's iconic fiery red hair was also moving towards a dark color amidst the embellishment of the black flames...

By the way, Shilis's fur color has changed several times. Is this normal?

"Back off! Jiuxiao, she's not Jizi!"

Jiuxiao was awakened by a sharp shout. He recognized it as Hill's voice. Out of trust in the person who came, he immediately jumped back and ran away.

The next moment, the black sword blade slashed across the open space in front of her, and with the sound of tearing the air flow to fill the vacuum, it left a black sword shadow in the air that lasted for a long time.

"This long and lonely nightmare still has not ended...?"

The figure in the black lotus spoke faintly, and that cold and lonely voice did not belong to anyone Jiu Xiao knew...

958 Curse of Obsession

Wuliangta Jizi had a dream.

That was a world that had not yet evolved into a modern prototype. Billions of years after the primitive era came to an end, a civilization with the first life on a crustal plate that emerged from the deep sea quietly continued in this barren land with no grass, and gradually formed various different tribal nations.

Ji Zi's dream is just a drop in the ocean of this long history. In the dream, she is the leader of a primitive tribe, a petite girl who looks like a young girl. She holds a golden sword and leads her people to establish a tenacious foundation in the ancient turbulent times.

In her short life, she met an immortal white-haired girl, the mysterious twins who guarded the sword, the leader of a foreign race who shared the same ideals with her, and the thousands of ordinary people who were willing to entrust their lives to her in the future...

She had fought alongside the white-haired, red-eyed immortal to fight off the enemy and expel the monsters that invaded their homeland. She had also witnessed

Famine, plague and war ravaged her, and she personally buried her best friend who had been with her for more than ten years since childhood. She had experienced a lot, but as if with divine help, she became a symbol of the Central Plains in just a few years, and engraved the word "Huaxia" into the eternal history of Chinese civilization.

Fate brought her to the pinnacle of life and also brought her to her final mission——

Born in the sedimentation of civilization, the first catastrophe at the beginning of the era was the world's oldest judgment-level Honkai beast, which Jizi also saw with her own eyes in the future.

The girl and her companions came to the giant beast that blocked out the sun and the sky. But this time, her indestructible sword could not cut into the monster's shell. The coastal defense line was easily flattened by the monster, and the rocks on the land were devoured and assimilated by the monster, making its body stronger and stronger, forcing countless people to move inland, far away from the unprecedentedly powerful natural enemy of civilization.

So, she took the sword that had been with her since birth and threw herself into the abyss-like fang-like mouth of the beast...

"To protect everything I hold dear."

(To protect everything I hold dear.)

At that moment, the will that had been passed down for thousands of years seemed to produce some kind of wonderful resonance.

Sacrificing oneself to repel the collapse, and protecting the lives of countless people in Shenzhou so that the country can continue, this seems to be the hero's destined ending.

The sealed girl has been sleeping forever since then...

"However, you also drank the cursed wine, enjoying the power that did not belong to you, easily trampling on the powerful enemies that were once out of your reach, and easily picking up the fruits of victory in the fight against the law of nature."

The clear voice that suddenly rang in my ears instantly dispelled the haziness of the dream.

Before his eyes was a dark space like the bottom of an abyss. All he could see was monotonous pure black, but the noisy noises around him were not as quiet and deep as this space. It was as if something unknown was blocking his ability to observe.

Among the vague and chaotic sounds around, there is the tremor of swords clashing and the loud noise of terrain collapsing. It sounds like a very exaggerated battle scene, right?

I...seem to be a participant in this battle.

Wait, wasn't I just fighting the Herrscher's clone? To stop her from attacking Saint Freya, and what happened afterwards?

Did I...win?

"Ah, that's right, you won. The Key of Domination devoured the super-mutation factor and ignited the cursed fire. Such a weak fragment of will cannot face such power directly, and naturally it is no match for you."

But... now that I have won, why am I still fighting?

My thoughts were a little confused, and the originally clear memories seemed to have turned into scattered fragments. I couldn't remember what I had done at all, nor did I know what happened afterwards. It was like the feeling of being drunk and blacking out countless times, and part of my personal experience had completely become blank.

"You have achieved the victory you desired, and the battles that follow are the consequences of your victory."

as a result of......?

"You all risked everything you had to protect the most important thing. The resonance caused by this similar experience allowed you to activate some of the power in the stigmata, but... it happened to be the worst part."

A faint sigh could be heard from the distance, but it seemed to be just Ji Zi's illusion, and the clear, ethereal and long voice returned again.

"This is the zeroth rated power of the Key of Domination. The essence of the power of the Key of God is still the dangerous Honkai erosion. When she used this power, she paid the price with her own memories and soul, and was tortured in the power of Honkai for five thousand years. Do you think you don't have to pay any price?"

What...cost?

Ji Zi's confused mind couldn't quite understand the voice's words at the moment, and she was just looking for a breakthrough in vain. In the illusory vision, a few arc-shaped shock waves created ripples in the endless darkness, as if they were the air waves caused by the collision of two heavy objects again.

But she still couldn't feel anything, whether it was the touch of her body or the correct perception of external stimuli. Nothing seemed real, everything seemed like an illusion in chaos.

Is what I am experiencing right now another dream?

"However, when she regained consciousness at the end of her life, she never regretted her original choice. She just smiled and said goodbye to her former best friend. What about you? Will you regret your choice at this moment?"

·————————————·

Flowing fire wrapped around the pitch-black sword blade, and waves of flames burst out in the clash of swords, flowing freely on the surface of the earth, carving countless traces of burning lava.

The black blade pressed down without any suspense.

"Well......!"

The heavy blade of the Xuan-Yuan Sword seized her weakness and suppressed her. The sweeping heat wave devoured the girl who was struggling to resist, blocking all her retreat routes.

At this moment, the equally dark particle fog tore open the encirclement of black flames, creating a gap in the scorching corrosive energy. Then, in the blink of an eye, the giant sickle took shape to help Jiuxiao block the sword blade that was constantly pressing down, and together they forced back the opponent holding the black sword.

Seeing the desperate enemy about to escape, the wave of black flames surged forward,

She wanted to devour the troublemaker who had interfered with the duel. But then, the fiery red feathers that appeared out of thin air disrupted her vision in an instant, and the roaring black flames immediately lost their target, allowing Jiuxiao and Xier to escape from the dilemma.

958 Curse of Obsession>>

"Don't try to withstand her sword strikes. The sword blessing that comes with Xuanyuan's Stigma will give her an absolute advantage in any hand-to-hand combat."

Fu Hua stood at the edge of the battlefield, her hands covered with the Grand Void Grip fist armor, the scarlet flame lotus transformed by Yu Duchen hovering in her palms - activating two divine keys at the same time, she was increasingly weak as she lingered on, and she was originally unable to do it again, but the Herrscher of Death's power of creation reversed this conclusion, allowing her to regain her former glory.

In front of old friends, you must not lose battlefield etiquette.

"..."

The woman who lost her target paused for a moment, her dark-gold eyes locked onto the Fiery-Feathered Girl at the edge of the battle, and her eyes met with her calm red eyes.

The next moment, her sword light crossed a distance of a hundred meters and collided with Fu Hua's fist armor, but it was only a momentary confrontation. The moment the defensive aura of Taixu's Grip collapsed, another giant sword with a dark blue color came across again, sweeping away the heavy edge of the black Xuanyuan Sword, and starting a new round of sword fight.

The misty particles also gathered again and reconstructed their shape around Fu Hua, forming a panting blue-haired girl.

"Ahua, what's her situation now? There's no sign of erosion on her body, but she's attacking the living around her like a mad warrior, not even sparing me, a Herrscher...Ahua, can you use those magical tricks of yours to wake her up?"

"It's useless. She can't hear us talking, nor can she sense our presence. In her mind, this is like an absurd dream. The consciousness in the dream no longer has any self-control. She will allow the sword's thousand-year-old desire for killing to dominate her, and regard everything she sees as an enemy."

Fu Hua frowned as she watched the frantic yet meticulous sword dance on the battlefield, which perfectly combined the frenzy of the beast with the precision of the swordsman. It was still unknown whether Ji Zi still had her sanity.

"But...her attacks are not indiscriminate."

The black flames wrapped around the Xuanyuan Sword tore countless lava cracks on the ground under Ji Zi's feet, burning Jiu Xiao's clothes to ashes in an instant, and any material that tried to touch it was turned into embers that spontaneously combusted out of thin air. However, these scattered flames flowed over the ruins of the buildings in the distance, and the extremely high temperature of the black flames did not melt the fragile concrete structures at all.

Under the control of the strongest key of domination, even the most difficult to control fire power will become as docile as a loyal dog.

These black flames, which looked like living creatures, seemed to be able to choose their targets on their own. The lower floors of the Far East Base, or the units in the underground shelters, were obviously not her chosen targets.

Is she...guarding?

"So is there any hope for her survival? Is it necessary to kill her?"

"..."

"Forget it, just use your stupid brain to think about it slowly, but don't forget to support!"

As he said that, Hill rushed into the battlefield holding his sickle. Fu Hua silently observed the ever-changing battle situation, with some ripples flickering in his eyes.

Maybe there is still a chance...

The North American Anti-Entropy Headquarters had been completely destroyed in the initial arrival of the Corrosion Ruler. The few remaining survivors had already evacuated from the scene and, under the leadership of Walter and Iselin, headed to a nearby abandoned branch that was still safe.

As one of the top fighters in the Far East, Kiana had no reason to stay here.

The Herrscher of Corrosion has returned from the dead, and has brought down judgment on the world to destroy civilization. Kiana wanted to rush to the Far East immediately to provide shelter for her relatives and friends as soon as possible, but now she is trapped here, in this meaningless ruin.

Just because of the figure blocking her way...

"You...what the hell are you?!"

Kiana covered her aching chest and questioned through gritted teeth, but did not make any aggressive moves.

In the past half hour, she had verified with practice that this was a meaningless move. Whether it was the energy field she exerted by the fusion law or the annihilation energy released by the spontaneous control of nuclear fusion, no matter what kind of attack, it could not cause any substantial damage to the slender figure that was half virtual and half real, and it could not even cause the slightest impact on the surrounding environment!

This is not a matter of strength or energy, but an absolute suppression of existence level. The opponent's life status is far above one's own.

And...she recognized the being before her.

How could she not recognize him? Ever since the trip to Jiuyou, the unknown thing that frightened her so much on the other side of the sealed door that had gradually cracked from the gap in her heart was undoubtedly the illusory human figure that appeared before her!

It is not a clone, not an illusion, but the real existence itself.

It is this that makes me vigilant every day and night, afraid of falling into failure again.
