K424 of the Collapse World

In the breeze of the ruins, black particles began to mix faintly...

North Africa, outside the Sahara...

At a time when even the anti-Honkai organizations are too busy to take care of themselves, those remote areas that are already on the edge of civilization will naturally not receive any assistance.

960 Shifted Center of Gravity >>

Even if no high-tech equipment is used by the Collapse, the Collapse creatures born with the Great Collapse can still cause a devastating blow to the backward and weak primitive settlements.

This wasteland, scarred by disaster, seemed to have no life left.

In this endless wasteland, the wild animals that should have been active and showing their existence have become an absolutely dead and barren land. The corrosive and free-flowing Honkai energy in the atmosphere has turned all the living matter it can touch into the claws of the Honkai will, rushing towards the backward human settlements, erasing all traces of civilization from the planet...

These scenes, as well as scenes happening in other important parts of the world, are being clearly projected onto a high-tech photon screen and are being seen by everyone in front of the screen.

He looked at the four Far Eastern islands on the verge of sinking and the shattered American continent; he watched more and more lives turn into broken zombies and the glorious symbols of civilization turned into ruins.

And, deeper in the desert, there is a huge broken metal gate that looks like the remains of a former civilization. It is quietly buried by the yellow sand, and its original shape is gradually no longer visible...

The World Serpent's North African base, equipped with facilities of pre-civilization technology, could not resist the invasion of erosion factors and was destroyed silently in the collapse.

But in a certain dark metal space, the countless light screen projections that were functioning perfectly were not affected at all by the erosion of the infiltrated world. Only a few screens showed the word "no signal", which meant that the monitoring equipment was permanently offline.

The remains of the stronghold of the Fire Moth, the predecessor of the World Serpent, have the means to block the Herrschers in a small area, otherwise they would not have survived the twelfth collapse of the previous civilization, and would have been reincarnated along with the 99% of humans who died on the surface.

But in the final analysis, it is only a small-scale shelter, covering only a small shelter...

Kevin Kaslana looked at the world heading towards destruction, and after a moment's hesitation, he pressed several buttons on the console in succession.

"Restart protocol f0158 and re-build the execution list of the cryo-cabin hibernation plan."

"My Lord, do you really want to do this? This will make the arrangement of the Stigmata Plan..."

"At this point, launching the Stigmata Plan is meaningless. In this era with a damaged foundation, the conditions for the seal to collapse are no longer met."

Kevin shook his head, looked at his subordinates who were respectfully waiting in a light screen frame, and continued to input the program instructions.

"But humans will not stop fighting. However, before facing the Herrscher of the End, we must prepare for the worst."

The rapid spread of erosion was completely out of his control. Even if the world still had the variable of collapse, he did not quite believe that the stolen powers of the Herrschers could defeat the true end.

But at this moment, the Corrosion Herrscher has recreated the tragedy of the previous civilization here.

If you don't want to give up on this civilization, you can only bite the bullet and challenge the final Herrscher like you did last time.

If we fail this time, at least we must keep the spark of hope alive until the next era of civilization...

"It's really surprising. The leader of the World Snakes has already started looking for a way out for his defeat before he even joins the battle?"

——!

Suddenly, one side of the electronic light screen suddenly showed an unknown communication connection, and then a slightly sarcastic and exaggerated voice sounded in the secret room.

"Compared with those girls who are ready to fight to the end, Mr. Kevin is really a man of foresight! I admire him so much..."

"Otto Apokalis."

Looking at the face of the golden-haired bishop that appeared on the communication screen, Kevin's eyes flashed with surprise.

"The Corrosion Herrscher should have controlled all communication networks on the surface of the world. How did you hack into this channel?"

Q group: 543659389, "Thanks to a certain Herrscher lady, I was fortunate enough to obtain some technology that does not belong to this civilization, and thus created a communication tool that cannot be affected by the current stage of the Herrscher's erosion."

After Otto finished speaking, he looked at the white-haired man who remained silent but did not turn off the communication, and then he took the initiative to speak again.

"I am only here to remind the Lord of the World Serpent that your organization's method of using a hibernation capsule to disguise the disappearance of signs of life on the planet will not be able to deceive the executor of Honkai a second time. Moreover, this time she has a considerable understanding of us..."

"What do you want to say?"

"I just want to say...instead of using this old useless trick, can you listen to what I have to say?"

961 The End of the Iteration

Why......?

The goddess girl who was deprived of her divine power by the one who controls the Collapse and fell into the abyss of reincarnation, had her last moment of surprise and confusion frozen on her face, asking silent questions to her loved ones.

The sorrow she expressed in her last scene was forever engraved in the depths of the blue eyes that looked into hers.

......

The trial is over.

The silver-haired girl walked out of the deepest palace in the void. The illusory palace disappeared in an instant, and her white jade feet stepped on the solid moon soil again.

Tiana's eyes swept across the empty silver moon plain. She lay down in the absolute silence and turned her gaze towards the brilliant Milky Way.

The twin Herrschers who used to be by my side were now alone. That gentle girl would never see her again.

She is now the only living being in this dimensional universe—if a collapsed consciousness can be called a living being.

What have you done?

Her thoughts reversed slightly, returning to the palace in that other-dimensional world, facing the white figure on the throne.

"She violated her duty as an executor, broke the deepest taboo of the reincarnation of civilization, handed over the plasmodia factor of the origin of Honkai to the indigenous civilization of the planet, and allowed the blood of God to merge into the holy scar genes of mortals. This is undoubtedly a betrayal—"

In the palace of imaginary crystals, she knelt before the pale throne and accused the traitor of his crimes to the Supreme Observer.

Next to her was a dying silver-haired girl, imprisoned by countless layers of law shackles. Her gorgeous Law-abiding dress was now torn and tattered, her once flawless body was marked by erosion and curse, and her once star-spangled blue eyes were now dry and dim.

She lost to her own sister - the sudden attack from her closest relative made her forget to resist, and she allowed the ruthless power of the laws to fall on her, and was taken to the hall of the judgment god.

"As a law enforcer who protects the cycle of reincarnation, you took the initiative to break the rules of reincarnation and let your will be swayed by meaningless pity. Such a foolish act is abominable, pathetic, and unforgivable! Lord God who observes all worlds, I have brought the sinner to your feet, and you will decide her fate..."

The divine girl who was sealed by the law could no longer hear the conversation between the observer and the apostle. She could only see her sister's calm and cold expression and the invisible face of the white figure that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Even though she couldn't hear anything, she knew for sure why she had ended up like this. She knew exactly what she had done and what price she would pay for it.

The judgment of the God of Sin continued, and the goddess remained silent, just silently staring at the girl beside her. That gaze, as calm as the Styx, made Tiana turn her eyes away more deliberately, not daring to have any contact with it.

"As you wish, she will lose her priesthood forever, and return her former gifts to the source of Honkai. In addition, I will let her fall into a cycle of pain, and let her feel the despair of being dominated by Honkai together with mortals! Since she has pity on the planet's termites, let her become one of the insects too."

The pure white humanoid, who had not cared about this at all, readily accepted Tiana's suggestion and put the disqualified god girl into an infinitely reset cycle of reincarnation.

The twin powers of the end were thus merged into one, and she became the only Herrscher of the End.

What is she for?

In the eyes of arrogant high-dimensional observers,

All we see is the Queen of Honkai, who is not satisfied with her limited power and wipes out executors of the same level, and finally sits on the only throne of God.

Loyalty to Honkai? Betrayal of loved ones?

No…it’s not a betrayal.

I would never betray her.

The girl murmured in her heart.

She moved her five fingers slightly, picked up a handful of silver sand on the surface of the moon, and scattered the crystal dust in the air, forming a graceful silhouette of a girl under the shining starlight.

"elder sister......"

"Do you know what your expression looks like right now?"

Xilin looked at the 'twin sister' beside her and reached out to pinch the girl's face.

"He spent half a month in the Internet cafe before the college entrance examination, and then walked into the examination room in despair, looking like a student with no hope in life - this is the only description I can think of."

In the northernmost region of the Far East, Hokkaido Island had sunk with the collapse of the earth's crust, and now only a few land debris were left floating on the sea.

Xilin and "Shilis" stood above the clouds in the sea, looking at the center of the starry sky barrier covering the sky, waiting for the judge who was about to descend into the world from the space fault...

"I say, are you so afraid of fighting with the Herrscher? Or are you worried about something else? Don't worry, the clones that guy created using the K-series experimental subjects are all paper tigers. If the virtual power encounters those Herrschers on our side, I guarantee that they will be in big trouble!"

"I'm not worried about anyone else..."

961 The End of Iteration>>

"So what's wrong with you now? My dear lady, we agreed to stop the Law Constraints here, why are you breaking the rules before we even start?"

Xilin helplessly looked at the uneasy silver-haired girl. She could clearly hear her rapid heartbeat and the slight trembling of her petite body. It was like a small puffer fish that was pulled out of the pond by its tail and trembled under the butcher's knife...

Bah! Why did I think of using pufferfish as a metaphor?

Xilin secretly slapped her mouth, but the silver-haired girl next to her suddenly started talking.

"I am indeed very confused... My soul seems to be resisting my instincts, forcing me to give up everything I have decided, and quietly wait to decay in the long void, as if that is what I should end up with - instead of trying to fight against another strong and firm will here."

Without the will condensed by many personalities, there is no longer any expectation for the future. The goals of struggle and the dreams that are persisted in have become nothing. How can such a life have the motivation to move forward?

She knew her own state, and she knew that she had to overcome this mentality to have a chance to defeat her opponent. But who could deceive her own heart? In fact, she had no desire to win at all, and was just relying on her instinct to survive. With such a mentality, how could she burst out with the will to fight against a strong enemy?

"I have lost the ability to move forward subjectively. I wanted to change my mindset and try to follow the correct guidance of others, but no one has ever guided me on my path. From being a pseudo-herrser to a member of the Anti-Entropy, to the honorary leader of the Far East Alliance, and then to being a sublimated Herrscher of Constraint... I have made all the choices on my own, and not many people have discussed with me what to do in the future. Therefore, following the rules and referring to the past is not feasible for me now. In my current state, I can't tell what is the right choice..."

"No... Why are you so concerned about what is right? Isn't it the right thing for you to follow me to stop the invasion of the Law Constraints and protect the continuation of civilization?"

"..."

Xilin rubbed the purple hair on her ankles and sighed softly as she looked at the girl who was stuck in a dead end of thinking.

It seems that the "lack of motivation" of Shilis's original soul is actually much more serious than expected. If we don't find a way to solve it, it will inevitably affect the next action.

"Well, let me give you an example."

After thinking for a moment, Xilin spoke slowly.

"You know, I suffered a lot because of the experiment of destiny. I lost all my relatives and friends. I became crazy under the erosion of the collapse... So I took revenge on humans. I killed all the researchers and guards in Babylon and launched the second collapse. Countless ordinary people were involved in the disaster of the collapse, and countless young Valkyries were buried in that frozen land."

"You also have this memory. If you put these experiences into your present, do you think my revenge is right? I brutally killed the perpetrators regardless of whether they were direct or indirect, and I completely vented my hatred even if innocent people were involved. As my 'future self', how would you judge my actions back then?"

"......"

"You still can't tell... Well, you don't have any subjective consciousness right now. These experiences are still your own choices. Because you also have the memory of being the Second Herrscher, you can't judge 'your' behavior... Damn! Why didn't I notice your problem earlier?"

Seeing the girl still

Unable to answer, Xilin shook her head helplessly and gave up the idea of ​​using the past to awaken the other party's self-awareness.

Obviously, the abnormal lack of "soul will" is not so easy to solve.

"So, Xilin, you still haven't made it clear what is the correct behavior..."

"Then who determines what is right? Is it morality or law? Or is it some kind of self-defeating obsession? - I think you definitely don't have such a thing as obsession now, so let's go back to the previous level - the generally recognized moral values ​​and laws are the rules of the civilized world created by humans. As a human, you should abide by these rules. But you have long positioned yourself above humans, using the power given by Honkai to fight against the Honkai Messenger, standing on an equal footing with Honkai, with an attitude that overrides the life on Earth, arbitrarily interfering with the fate of mortals and protecting civilization, isn't it?! You are so arrogant, and you are still entangled in what is right here?!"

Looking at the silver-haired girl who still had a confused look on her face, Xilin suddenly felt a nameless fire burning in her heart.

"What you should consider is not other people's judgment of right or wrong, but what you should do yourself - it's so annoying! I'm tired of your nonsense. Anyway, you should find what you want to do soon..."

The Herrscher wants to kill her and eliminate this potential threat forever. So, with her remaining desire to survive, can she exert her Herrscher's power normally?

I just hope she doesn't turn around and run away...

962 The Cursed Heroic Soul

The land is sinking.

The largest island in the Far East gradually lost the support of a floating island on the sea as the continental shelf collapsed. The civilized country with a prosperous civilization began to be submerged step by step by the rising sea water.

The implementation process of Honkai Impact 3rd has reached the final stage.

Whether it was the chain reaction caused by the erosion factor or the energy aftermath of the Herrscher War, these external factors may have led to the sinking of the Far Eastern Islands, but long before that, the sedimentation of civilization had been completely destroyed, leaving only the tiny lives that survived in civilization, waiting for the final judgment in a death row-like shelter.

Of course, if the collapse ends here, the remaining humans can still revive their civilization and even develop a new civilization system - there is no reason why modern people who are constantly improving can't do what their ancestors can do. Even if everything on the surface is destroyed, as long as humans still exist, the reconstruction of civilization is only a matter of time.

However, no one has such optimistic thoughts.

Huddled up in a crowded eggshell-structured building, in the observation device of the shelter, watching their homes being wantonly trampled and destroyed by the collapsed monsters, and the corroded high-tech weapons aiding and abetting them, turning their guns and cannons back towards the humans who created them.

All that can be seen is despair, and the endless tide of collapse flattens all resistance. The omnipresent corrosive factors are exerting their effects wantonly, and the corpses that fell at the feet of the collapse beasts stand up again, join the array of collapse, and slowly march towards the last refuge of civilization...

The island sank, the continent disintegrated. Perhaps, before it was crushed by the collapse of the army, the shelter would sink to the bottom of the sea along with the collapsed continental shelf, and accompany Atlantis.

Extreme despair means the breakdown of order; the breakdown of order means the beginning of riots...

·————————————·

When countless people were about to meet the fate of destruction, on the sinking Far Eastern Island of Honshu, inside the ruins of Changkong City which was destroyed for the second time by the Honkai disaster, an unknown battle quietly came to an end.

Aiming at the opponent entangled by the sickle and the phantom machine, Mei took a deep breath, using the human body's instinctive breathing regulation as a hint, allowing the power of body and mind to be completely unified in an instant.

Chidori——Draw the sword!!

With thunder gathering from the clouds, he swung the Sword of Heavenly Strike to deliver the final blow, destroying the Herrscher's clone's last ability to move.

“…very exciting.”
