K424 of the Collapse World

With a hint of doubt, she quickly completed the last step of chip repair. After removing all the electrode plug-ins on Tesla's body, she used an auxiliary mechanical ball to carry her to the only core terminal of the laboratory.

She had to confirm the truth of the matter.

Although the out-of-control mecha outside the door has been silent and the collision and explosion sounds in the passage have completely disappeared, the turmoil in the entire battlefield of the Far East Branch has not completely ceased.

For example, the endless symphony of swords and spears on the surface above this laboratory...

·————————————·

(This is a cross about two meters long)

Looking at the faint light spots emerging in the dark world, Wuliangta Jizi made such a judgment based on the familiar outline of the light and shadow.

(The material is the same as the sword in my hand, weighing about 150 kilograms, with a chain spike that can attack autonomously, and has a slight effect of breaking the collapse...)

Looking at the light spots around her that were like messy threads mixed with the dark solid, Ji Zi only observed them for a moment and determined that they were chain rings with sharp spikes on the tips.

At this point, the identity of the opponent who is fighting against "oneself" has become very clear.

969 Xuanyuan Mystery>>

(She's Theresa, right?)

She quickly asked the dark will beside her. Her increasingly clear mind made her eager to stop her actions to avoid hurting the petite principal.

However, the mind, which had long been severed from the body, could no longer

Control the body dominated by the cursed soul.

(Tell me, how can I stop all this? I have already defeated the incarnation of that crazy Herrscher. I don’t need to continue to let that sword vent its power.)

"It's useless. That soulless body that inherited the curse is the price of stealing the taboo. You can't do anything but watch it destroy everything in madness, and then merge with it in eternal darkness."

(Stop making sarcastic remarks! Tell me first what exactly you are? The sword spirit of the Xuan-Yuan Sword? Or the consciousness of the Ruler of the Key of God that is not completely dead? Forget it, no matter what you are, tell me what is going on in this situation! What is the price... Do you mean that I have been backfired by the Key of God and corroded by Honkai?)

Now that she has regained consciousness from her confusion, Ji Zi will no longer allow that unknown consciousness to pour negative energy on her. She quickly seized the opportunity to ask, trying to figure out her current situation and how to solve it.

"When that person fell into the abyss, she also resisted and struggled like you. Her soul and will were countless times stronger than yours, but the final result was still failure in endless loneliness. Do you think you can change this situation?"

(If I'm not mistaken, the "she" you mentioned should be referring to the previous owner of this sword, Ji Xuanyuan? I saw her experience and ending, and I know that she activated the zero-rated power of the Xuanyuan Sword in Chiyou's body and sealed the unformed planetary-level Houkai beast. And I also activated the same ability when I fought with Shilis's inexplicable clone, right?)

Ji Zi quickly conveyed this information to her consciousness in the darkness, distractedly sensing the battle outside. Through the blurry convergence and dispersion of light and shadow and black fog, she could also see that the situation of the battle outside was definitely not optimistic.

(That is to say, I will be corrupted like her, and then attack all living things around me like in the battle with Jiuyou? Oh no, I have already started to attack them. If this continues...)

The sword-shaped mist shadow picked up the cross-shaped halo, and then a sword shadow was drawn towards the petite white shadow, which made Ji Zi break out in a cold sweat almost instantly.

If she could still sweat in her current spiritual state.

Fortunately, Theresa dodged the sword by jumping sideways at the last moment, but only her shoulder was burned by the black flame. With her regenerative ability, it would only take a few seconds to repair this burn.

In short, we can't delay any longer and must take action immediately.

Her mind was working rapidly, and Ji Zi looked around this world of pure black, locking onto the location of another consciousness.

(Enough! I can almost guess it. You are the other personality of the blackened Ji Xuanyuan, right? Although I don’t know how you are retained in the Xuanyuan Sword, but you said before that she fell into darkness in loneliness, which means that there is no other consciousness around her soul. When I just arrived here, you immediately appeared and talked to me. Obviously, considering that this Xuanyuan Sword has only had two owners—Ji Lin and me, then the other consciousness that appeared in this place must be you, Ji Xuanyuan!)

"...Yes, so what?"

(I need your help, tell me how to remove the power of the Key of God)

Turning her attention away from the battlefield in the virtual image, Jizi stared at the dark corner that seemed to be empty. Her intuition told her that the consciousness that was talking to her was right where she was.

"If I had helped you, you wouldn't have ended up like that. And it seems like your fate will end here, too."

(What do you mean? I...)

Ji Zi asked hurriedly, but at this moment, the dark space was suddenly dispelled by the dazzling light, and all the intertwined light and shadows turned into nothingness at this moment.

A golden spear of light fell from the infinitely distant sky and reached above her in an instant!

"She will not allow those who are out of the scope of Houkai to grow freely, no matter what your position is..."

970 If we blend with each other

"What did you just throw?"

Once again tracing the time tunnel back to the original node, the girl saw a spear of light passing through the time barrier and disappearing directly into the edge of the tunnel.

She originally thought that this fully operational time power could delay the Herrscher here until the outside world was fully prepared to deal with it, and then face off against the Herrscher of Constraint.

(She... can interfere with things outside of independent time and space?!)

With the help of the space gap created by Xilin, and with her own time ability, she locked the flow of this parallel space and created an absolutely static domain independent of the outside world. Here, the flow of time can be fast-forwarded or retraced to any node as she pleases, and the real universe time in the outside world will not be affected in any way.

However, since the Ruler of Constraint can directly ignore this area and interfere with the outside world, doesn't it mean that she can leave this space at any time?

"..."

The silver-haired woman stayed at the original position, seemingly never moving, staring at the place where the light spear disappeared, and closed her eyes indifferently.

"Don't worry about it. The other variable that exists in this world should be eliminated as soon as possible before the trial."

Variables? Could it be that the preparations made by Siegfried and his men had already made the Herrscher aware of the threat, so he intervened in advance? If so, could it be that they had already been attacked by the Herrscher? !

The light spear just now should be able to be offset by the power of the Holy Fire Judgement...

The girl frowned as she thought about it, and when she saw the spear of light condensing again in the hands of the Ruler of Constraint, she hurriedly crushed the halo of the pocket watch floating in her palm, allowing the time in this sandwiched space to be reset again.

The time power blessing she had obtained before seemed to have only saved her at the moment before her death, just like relying on the replay function to challenge the boss game player infinitely. However, the Herrscher in front of her was not a simple game program, and would not just wait there forever to accept the challenge.

Even if she herself would not perish, the girl could not stop the opponent's actions, nor could she prevent her from imposing the final judgment on reality...

"Your delay is meaningless. The time of judgment has already been determined. Until then, it does not matter where this body is."

The Herrscher did not mind that her movements were hindered by the reset, and her words were not affected by the time reversal, so she transmitted a complete voice to the ears of the two girls.

That's right. With her power, there's no need to make the channel between the imaginary and the real so long. She only needs to open two connecting portals like Xilin did. Moreover, even if it's such a long tunnel, with her third power, it will only take a moment to cross and reach the other end of the channel.

She could do that now if she wanted.

The reason why she walked slowly through the passage as if taking a walk and was willing to "play" with them here seemed to be just waiting for the so-called judgment. Even if she and Xilin did not block here, the Law Constraint would have walked forward at the original pace and killed this time.

In the end...is it all in vain?

The girl suddenly stopped crushing the pocket watch.

The next moment, she and Xilin were engulfed by endless blades of light and annihilated in the turbulent flow of energy. But then, their bodies automatically reshaped in their original positions, and the passively triggered time reversal restored them to their original positions.

Even giving up everything seems to have become a luxury.

(Xing, the ability to trace back to the past that you have bestowed upon me may have been simply to protect me... but isn't this cycle of endless death and resetting another kind of curse? Just like this world that is constantly being reset by Honkai...)

No, you shouldn't think like that.

I am no longer a hollow corpse, and it would be too pathetic to just give up. Since I have decided to help her achieve her goal, I should at least try harder...

——Waiting for the next turn.

The girl thought silently, still without any action. But before the next round of light rain arrived, Xilin, who was prepared, activated the space transfer in advance, took her hand and jumped to the other end of the airspace.

"My little ancestor, continue to use your invincible time ability to control her. It really hurts to be torn apart by the light spear!"

"It's okay, I won't feel any pain."

970If we blend with each other>>

"But I can!!"

Seeing the fusion beam released by the Constraint Lawyer, Xilin was so scared that she dragged the girl to teleport again. Although she didn't quite understand why Xi Lisi's soul suddenly had such a strong time power, she knew very well that she could be resurrected together with him, all thanks to the other party's indiscriminate retrospection ability.

Therefore, as long as you keep this girl by your side, even if you make a mistake and get killed instantly, you can still revive together on the spot...

The girl let Xilin pull her to warp and flash, but she did not stop thinking. Even if she was shattered by the attack of the law, after she was resurrected, her thoughts could reconnect with the previous train of thought.

It seems that Miss Xilin has not yet understood that procrastination is futile, and trying to dodge will only be like a moving target, giving the Herrscher Miss more fun in long-range shooting.

The original plan had to be torn down and rebuilt. The first step of the original plan - using the powerful attacks of the Holy Judgement of Skyfire and the Moonlight Throne to weaken the control of the Constraint Herrscher's consciousness over the body, so that he could regain the body of K424, needed to be revised.

Although the Ruler of Constraint, who possesses the status of the End, is not omniscient and omnipotent, the pheromone particles she can control and the extreme range of perception and prediction using these particles have undoubtedly reached the highest level of this dimension in the realm of extraordinary life.

At least in front of her, most of the secrets of the entire planet were exposed, and it was impossible to rely on information asymmetry to set up strategies. She did not need the telepathy of the eighth power to sense and observe the thinking factors of others, so she could see through everything from the beginning.

She knew about the existence of Shirley's soul, she knew about Sirin who was secretly causing trouble, she knew that her clone had been destroyed by other Herrschers, and she also knew that her opponents were trying to use the calamity fire of the Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire as the ultimate means to defeat her.

She knew everything, but she didn't care. This only meant that those methods could not cause her any harm.

Throwing aside all tactics, strategies, and plans, the pure power of both sides was placed on both ends of the scale. This was the duel that the Ruler of Constraint had been expecting, and it was also a battle that she must win.

"So...might as well fast forward to the last step."

The girl murmured, and suddenly broke free from Xilin's hand, leaving the purple-haired girl who was caught off guard and looked dazed in the dense rain of light. She directly launched a space jump and flashed to half a meter in front of the Law Constraint.

She also possessed the spatial ability that came from the power copy, but she didn't need to show off in front of Xilin. But now, to implement the plan she had thought of, she couldn't involve other people.

The Ruler of Constraint stared at the girl who flashed in front of him. The multiple law force fields surrounding him were ready to go. Just a slight ripple could turn this weak pseudo-ruler into dust.

But she didn't and did it.

"I believe you have discovered that I cannot be killed so easily now."

The girl tilted her head slightly and looked at the silver-haired Ruler, smiling sweetly.

Even if she was killed by the power of the Ruler of Constraint, her time would immediately go back to the eve of her death, and she would become a life that was infinitely close to eternity in this space and time.

This is the last blessing that Xing left in the depths of her soul, "a blessing cursed by time"

"According to the last step of our plan, when you are at your weakest, I should enter your consciousness and seize control of your body. But now it seems that this plan is probably not feasible."

"So, let's just start the final battle - let's see whether you will disintegrate and devour me, or I will drive you out and take over my body!"

Her hands gently touched the Ruler of Constraints, a gentle movement like caressing a lover, but with a terrifying determination to die together with her like a suicide.

"My consciousness is probably much weaker than yours, so it is likely that you have absorbed and assimilated me. But even so, my fragments of consciousness can probably be integrated into your soul, thereby changing part of your thinking pattern..."

The power of the Herrscher of the Heart was activated, and the translucent double shadow began to peel off from the girl's fingertips, as if her soul had left her body, releasing her original Herrscher body with spiritual properties.

"I'm curious, what will 'you' look like after you merge with me?"

A turnaround for the 971 front line

The clear echo created ripples in the space between the cracks.

The silver-haired girl stretched out her hand, and it began to dissipate into crystal dust from her fingertips. Then, like weathered rock, it was crushed on the spot by the powerful energy that dissipated in an instant.

But the next moment, her body was reshaped again in the space a few steps away, and returned to the recorded time node.

“Huh…?”

She looked at her hands, and her spirit and body in energy state regained stability. Apparently, they were shattered by the burst of energy flow before they touched the Law Constraint, which triggered the passive time reversal.

"Oh? You don't want to merge with my soul?"

"..."

"Or do you not dare?"

The silver-haired girl took a small step forward, but the fully activated law barrier around the Herrscher prevented her from getting any closer easily.

"For you, the most convenient way to deal with me, who has been written into the entire concept of time, is to devour and dissolve me. However, you are unwilling to do so..."

Touching her face where a layer of skin and flesh had been torn off by the magnetic storm fluid, the girl instantly repaired her cheek with Creation, readjusted her position to stay half a meter away, and her expression became more playful.

"It's not that I can't, but that I don't want to... Then, can I understand that if you merge into my soul, it may cause some kind of reaction that has a great impact on your sanity, and it may be irreversible... Right?"

"..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't answer. No matter you are unable, unwilling, or afraid to merge your consciousness, at least now I have found a way that may be able to counter you."

As she spoke, the silver-haired girl's soul separated from her body again and floated out in the form of a girl's shadow. Her body, which had lost its support, froze for a moment, and she blinked like an ordinary girl, then lost consciousness and fell softly. The next moment, she was caught in the air by Xilin, who was hiding and waiting, and retreated far away into the outer space.

Without the powerful soul hidden in this body, this K-series K476 replica is just a new consciousness that has lost all memories and powers, the ordinary girl who lived with Asakura Miyuki before.

The soul that had left its body stared at the Herrscher woman in front of it, raised its hands with ill intentions, and slowly approached the woman who was still doing nothing.

"Come, let me see what you look like without your disguise. You are so shy, are you an underdeveloped shy girl?"

"That's enough. Your speculation is groundless, your actions are meaningless, and your ant-like weak soul cannot have any effect on this body. I refuse your merger simply because I don't like my soul absorbing unnecessary impurities."

"Is that so... don't like it? You actually have ordinary biological individuals.

Likes and dislikes? Then I am even more curious, what kind of magical phenomenon would happen to make the arrogant Ruler of Constraints feel uncomfortable? "

The spirit body in the form of a girl floated around the barrier around the Herrscher like a little ghost for several circles, but because of the impenetrable law barrier, she was unable to touch the other party with her spirit body.

However, as long as the Ruler of Constraints did not take action, it would only be a matter of time for her to crack these automatically triggered energy defense systems - that is, there would be no problem.

Here, only time is endless.
