K424 of the Collapse World

As the main body of the Ruler of Corrosion was completely crushed and wiped out by the laws of space, the electronic tools and intelligent machines that were infected on half of the planet also returned to normal.

Afterwards, the few anti-Honkai organizations that still had equipment and resources quickly rebuilt their research departments after the Herrscher disaster and began to survey the spreading starry sky barrier in the sky.

Although this strange celestial phenomenon has not shown any aggressiveness so far, its existence has taken away the sunlight on the surface of the planet, leaving only dim starlight dotting the universe in the barrier, making the entire world shrouded in darkness.

In addition, it is undoubtedly a creation of Honkai, an unknown thing that must be guarded against. Moreover, it should not be the creation of the Herrscher of Corrosion, otherwise it would have collapsed with the demise of the Herrscher.

Constructed in the outermost layer of the atmosphere, the spherical star-streaked curtain spreads outward and gradually surrounds the earth. This fake starry sky, like a black hole, blocks all electrical signals directed to the outside of the universe.

And through those areas that have not been covered, after the satellite detectors obtained the refracted signals, the half of the earth covered by the starry sky observed from outside the universe has turned into a gray-black color like a dead star, completely covering the originally blue surface of the star, and it is still expanding on the blue planet. Soon, it may be able to wrap the entire planet in the dim stars...

Even if this starry sky barrier has no other effects, but only blocks the sunlight, it will inevitably cause the planet to lose its temperature radiation and freeze together with its atmosphere, bringing about a catastrophic disaster for the civilization on the surface.

So no matter what, we must find a way to destroy this false sky that is overwhelming us.

More and more exploration aircraft rose into the sky, approaching the starry sky barrier. Whether it was analyzing the energy composition or surveying the material of the sample, even if it was all in vain, they knew they had to take action. After all, no one really planned to sit and wait for death.

However, just as the exploration began, another strange change in the sky occurred.

"...What is going on?"

The observer stared at the deep starry sky, looking at the huge light and shadow gradually gathering among the stars, and couldn't help but murmured.

Those colorless spots of light that vaguely formed a certain shape distorted the light of the starry sky, as if an invisible force was gathering the light and forcibly kneading it into a ball, shaping it into an appearance like a plaster statue.

Why does that elliptical stream of light in the shape of a galaxy, flickering and fluctuating in the condensed light, look more and more like a rotating eyeball the more you look at it?

There is also the half detection image on the edge of the screen, and the light screen of the galaxy group separated from it, which is just like another symmetrical eye. There is also the Milky Way composed of stars in the distance, and the scattered soft luster is like a woman's scattered silver hair...

It seems really similar?

The observer couldn't help but laugh. He could actually see the projection of the universe as a woman. Could it be that the suppressed LSP soul was finally going to explode? But after thinking carefully, it was indeed dazzled. Staring at these sparkling stars on the screen all the time, it is inevitable that the eyes will have hallucinations...

He rubbed his eyes, temporarily shifting his gaze away from the high-brightness screen, and turned to look out the window of the institute, at the dim stars covering the sky, to relieve his eye fatigue a little.

“Eh?! Hiss——”

But what did he see?

When he looked directly at the starry sky with his naked eyes instead of through the partially fragmented image, he finally saw the picture where the scattered lights converged.

He was not mistaken just now.

It was a lifelike figure of a girl that gradually took shape in the starlight, with the sky covering half of the universe as its painting.

That’s right, it was a huge silver-haired girl whose upper body alone took up the entire sky. She was blinking her star-lit eyes and looking down at the blue planet that was becoming increasingly smaller to her…

975 A world that can be grasped in one hand >>

"That's... Lady Silis?! No, but why...?"

In the side room of the deck of the Hyperion airship, Asakura Miyuki stared blankly up at the twinkling starry sky, and the bust of the girl that occupied the sky came into her sight.

As a pseudo-hersr with strong perception, she was one of the first humans to notice the strange phenomenon in the sky. But at this moment, her biggest emotion was not surprise, but deep confusion.

She saw a human woman with long silver hair. Against the pitch-black night background, she stood out like the glow of a full moon. Her body was as big as half the sky, making her figure and facial features appear extremely clear, even causing the distance to seem distorted.

If we ignore the surrounding buildings that serve as reference points, it would be as if her condescending gaze was just standing in front of someone else's bed and looking down at them...

But that's not the problem.

The black kitten still had a look of surprise and doubt in its wide eyes.

When she first saw the silver-haired woman appearing in the starry sky, she saw clearly the follower she was so familiar with. Miyuki remembered every smile and frown of Shirley in her heart. If the silver-haired girl was not an illusion, she would never mistake the Herrscher she served.

However, the next moment, the silver-haired girl in front of her eyes had turned into a young girl. Although she still had silver hair and golden eyes, she was slightly different from the Shiris in her memory.

Then, the silver-haired woman she saw changed again——

A young girl, a green girl, a gentle lady... Every time Asakura Miyuki's thoughts change, she can see a completely different image of a silver-haired woman, who may be similar or unfamiliar, beautiful or ugly to the people she knows, as if the woman in that starry sky contains all the possibilities of human genes.

At this moment, Asakura Miyuki suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. This feeling was not unfamiliar to her. The body of the Honkai creature unlocked the human body's self-protection mechanism. Her movement and thinking nerves were often overloaded, and the damage caused by the overload was this kind of migraine-like tingling feeling...

At this moment, she seemed to understand something.

No, it does not change as you look at it, it's as if thousands of images are superimposed on that single individual. The multiple impressions are all projected into the mind at the moment of direct gaze, and then fill the mind of the person viewing it with countless images like a decompressed compressed file.

The nature of the existence of the woman who appeared in the sky has rewritten the normal information obtained by visual perception...

But, what is she?

Is it a Herrscher? But which Herrscher would have such an outrageous body shape?

The legendary Herrscher of the End...? But didn't the Anti-Entropy leader say that this era is only in the early to middle stage of the civilization era? And this world has just experienced the sequence of the Herrscher of the End, how could the Herrscher of the End appear at this time? !

In the midst of her confused thoughts, Asakura Miyuki suddenly noticed that the silver-haired woman outside the sky suddenly raised her hand, and her pale palm with some strange patterns slowly stretched downwards. In Asakura Miyuki's eyes, the tiny fingertips quickly became larger and larger, like a falling cloud that instantly enveloped her!

At this moment, those slow-witted people realized the sudden change that happened out of nowhere!

At the same moment, the little black cat began to realize how outrageous the misjudgment of body size was due to distance.

The area of ​​skin on the tip of my finger alone is probably much larger than all the Far Eastern Islands combined...

Her action... is she trying to hold the planet in her hand? !

976 Unexpected Possibility

In countless popular film and television works, huge characters such as behemoths often move slowly and clumsily, in order to highlight the majestic power of the huge creatures.

But from a practical point of view, hugeness never means slowness. Most of the slowness of giants that people usually see is just a sensory misjudgment caused by extreme distance.

——Just like the pale slender hand reaching out to the surface of the planet at this moment.

By visually measuring the woman in the starlight at the smallest scale, the linear speed of her fingertips as she stretched out and closed her palms had already exceeded the limit of this universe. However, this movement that exceeded the speed of light did not have any impact on the structure of this dimensional space. It was as if the starry sky in the background had merged with her, and all her actions were visual effects of the changing trajectory of the stars.

However, to the matter of this planet, the hand is undoubtedly "real".

The flow of thoughts was fleeting, and the hand was just like an ordinary person reaching out to grab an apple in front of him. In the blink of an eye, it had covered most of the field of vision of the deep snow...

Although Asakura Miyuki still could not sense any fluctuations of known energy, her intuition as a Honkai lifeform allowed her to instinctively understand the basic properties of those energy bodies.

As long as the huge silver-haired woman grasped the earth in her hands, she could crush and smooth everything on the surface of the planet like wiping off the dirt on a tennis ball, and wipe the topography and landforms that had evolved over hundreds of millions of years back to their original prototypes in the primeval period.

No... maybe she doesn't need to hold the earth. When that giant hand that ignores the laws of physics touches the outermost layer of the planet's atmosphere, the mass and speed that are enough to trigger the bug in the rules of the universe will break away from the strange starry sky and touch the earth, the real cosmic matter. I'm afraid that at the moment of contact, this celestial body with an average density of only 5518kg/m3 will be dispersed like a wisp of green smoke.

Did she want to crush the planet into powder and then use the residue to make a new one?

Asakura Miyuki, whose mind was in a state of divergence, could no longer control her wild thoughts. After all, facing the Star Grip that was far more exaggerated than the Five Finger Mountain, a mere Pseudo-Hermendator was just an ant in the dust. Even if she could see the pressing palm and recognize the power of its grip, Asakura Miyuki could not imagine any means to resist it, so she could only let her accelerated mind collapse at will.

Perhaps in the next millisecond, my consciousness will be erased along with the civilization on the surface?

Looking at the pale palm gradually occupying the starry sky behind him and filling his entire vision, but suddenly, Asakura Miyuki saw a glimmer of fiery red light from the pure white!

This era, which can be called special in many ways, would be destroyed in an instant by the casual touch of the Herrscher of the End. The broken operating mechanism would naturally not activate the so-called emergency system...

The fire of destruction and burning the world blossomed into a brilliant fire lotus in the starry sky. The Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire, which was originally left in the troposphere with the Moonlight Throne to penetrate the defense of the Herrscher of Restraint, became the first counterattack against the Herrscher of the End in Siegfried's hands.

The dazzling flames spread ripples in the void, leaving a faint flame red hue in the endless paleness...

The next moment, the woman's palm suddenly shrank! In the blink of an eye, the pale sky covering the universe was completely retracted, leaving only the burning flower of flame, blooming alone with the last trace of flame in the newly descended starry sky.

Asakura Miyuki looked at the scene almost in a daze, without any sudden shock or surprise of surviving the disaster. Facing the current situation, her mind was no longer able to make any analysis or judgment on the current situation.

(That is... Mr. Siegfried's Holy Fire Judgement?!)

Although I didn't expect that it was Siegfried who stopped the enemy, it was not unexpected. It seems that in the legendary last civilization era, the ultimate weapon that could stop the Herrscher of the End was this divine key that inherited two civilizations...

976 Unexpected Possibility >>

While the little black cat's thoughts were still scattered, the silver-haired woman in the starry sky looked down at her intact fingertips, the light of billions of stars in her eyes rippled, her delicate eyebrows seemed to be slightly frowned, and there was an obvious sense of... grievance on her face?

It was like a toddler reaching out to grab a toy ball and suddenly being poked in the finger by a still-warm matchstick that appeared out of nowhere. Although it didn't hurt or hurt, just like a child, it was frightened by the sudden sensation.

Regardless, this attack successfully forced her back.

Although the final effect was somewhat subtle, the interception of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire did indeed neutralize the attack of the Herrscher of the End that could have destroyed civilization...

·————————————·

——————·

"——She just hasn't woken up yet. In any case, the power of the Holy Fire Judgment is not enough to cause actual damage to the Herrscher of the End."

In a temple somewhere in the World Serpent, Kevin watched the battle between Flame and the Herrscher of the End through the observation instrument and made a light comment, not moved at all by the results of the Anti-Entropy War.

"When she regains consciousness, she only needs a thought to reset the world. Before that, any attack from the outside world can only slightly extend this time."

"My Lord, do you need me to retrieve your weapon?"

The masked shadow leaning over the seat asked in a low voice, but the white-haired man just shook his head slightly.

“No need. The spirit of the successors deserves recognition, but I have no intention of participating in this fight that is doomed to fail.”

He controlled the control terminal of the Fire Moth Temple and loaded a list into the instrument at the center.

"The remnants of this era will soon lose their value. The next sedimentation of civilization should not be handed over to others...especially the Herrscher."

"..."

The subordinates beside the seat remained silent, but another family member suddenly spoke up to dissuade him.

"But my Lord, the main force of this civilization has not given up yet. The remaining armed bases of the organization are enough to launch the initial stage of the plan of annihilation. Please..."

"I have fought against the Herrscher of the End before, and have concluded that she cannot be defeated. Precisely because the Herrscher of the End cannot be defeated, we must find another way and keep the Stigmata Project as the highest priority. The execution time is - the next civilization era."

The man did not look at the subordinate who was speaking, but just sat in front of the terminal in the temple, staring at the last execution option box on the monitor.

As long as it is pressed, this place will be completely closed off from all connections with the outside world to avoid being affected by the aftermath of the reset. The remnants of the World Serpent will also enter the next round of frozen hibernation here, and wake up again in the next era tens of thousands of years later.

His fingers rested on the keyboard, but he never pressed the button to abandon this world.

This was a rare moment of hesitation on his part.

"..."

"Yeah~? Kevin, there's no need to be so hasty. Instead of lying in your freezer early, why don't you listen to the bishop's advice and wait for the 'surprise' he has left for you?"

At this moment, the gentle voice of a girl suddenly rang in my ears, sweeping away the silence in the temple.

Kevin, who had sensed the other party's presence long ago, did not look at the pink-haired girl beside him. However, even if the other party was just an illusion of his former comrade, he still answered the pink-haired girl seriously.

"...This is why I haven't made a decision yet."

977 World Gear

A deserted and dilapidated city with empty streets.

Even though the rampant out-of-control machines and Honkai beasts have disappeared, and even though the end of the Corrosion Disaster has liberated countless people from the Quantum Sanctuary, what greets them is not the dawn of hope.

Everyone instinctively looked up at the sky.

The starry sky has not yet surrounded the entire planet, but no matter the angle or position, as long as you look up, you can see the giant silver woman in any open-air corner of the world.

She is like an additional cosmic law, writing her image into the concept of the starry sky.

What is she? What does she want to do? What will happen to the world next? ...

People who had limited knowledge of the collapse could not clearly perceive the situation in front of them. Most people had just survived a life-or-death crisis, and before they could fully relax, their spirits on the verge of collapse were hit hard again by this new abnormality.

Then, the woman from outer space stretched out her hand towards the earth, and her falling palm was about to turn into the sky and fall down, but at the moment when it was retracted with a flash of fire, many people woke up from their dreams, and exclamations and screams detonated the broken order.

Even if they didn't understand anything, when they saw the palm pressing down, they could imagine what would happen to a mosquito if it was slapped by someone.

Although the proportions of this palm are a bit exaggerated.

Those who still kept their sanity began to flee to the shelters with their families. Facing the final law of collapse, even if they knew nothing about it, the unspeakable fear from the unknown and the trembling from the depths of their consciousness made them instinctively avoid danger and hide.

The members of the Mission who controlled the shelter silently opened the heavy metal door again, leaving this last refuge to the terrified people.

They are Valkyries, but they are just Valkyries - genetically modified warriors who are crowned with the title of mythical heroes. In front of super-dimensional beings, they are just mortals.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the control console, the young Valkyrie clenched her fists and stared at the chaotic crowd below.

Densely packed heads, like piles of woodlice suddenly exposed to the sun, panickedly hid in the bottom of damp flower pots, filing in through the huge door of the shelter, and huddled in the corners of the metal walls, shivering.

Can they avoid the unknown disaster?

As a soldier, can I protect the people I am supposed to protect as I did before?

If it really is Honkai or Herrscher, how can they, who are mortals, use ordinary swords and guns to fight against the enemy that is transformed from the entire sky?

As the chaos intensified, more and more Valkyries began to waver. Most of them had never faced a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, and suddenly faced this extraordinary Honkai, no one could remain calm.

All living beings are different from humans. Faced with the unpredictable next round of collapse disaster, some are terrified, some are worried, some are indifferent, and some are crazy... Those who retain their sanity are scrambling to escape from the surface of the world and hide in deep underground shelters where no light can reach. As for those who are completely dazed and even begin to pray to the sky, who will care about their life or death?

This blackened world will not be filled with complete despair.
