K424 of the Collapse World

On the deck of the Moonlight Throne's main ship, Siegfried stuffed the two guns disassembled from the Skyfire Greatsword back into his waist bag, panting and sitting on the ground. He glanced at the rocket thrusters on the battleship, then turned to look at the brown-haired man standing on the edge of the platform.

"Phew... Sorry... Old friend, maybe I'll have to ask you to drive this ship and accompany me to space again."

"Unfortunately, the current structure of Moonlight Throne's ship is not sufficient to cope with the space environment, and the Houkai Conversion System consumes too much energy. Its hull propulsion cannot even get rid of gravity. It is impossible to use this ship to actively attack."

Walter shook his head and sighed slightly as he looked at the man who had burn marks all over his body.

Overloaded with the Skyfire Judgment, and using the Skyfire Greatsword at the second rated power to forcibly simulate the attack of Jiemie, the increased power and backlash far exceeded the normal mode of attack.

977 World of Gears >>

The moment they saw the huge figure of the Herrscher appear, their hearts were definitely not as calm as they appeared on the surface, and they were also overwhelmed by panic and surprise. But if even those who were standing at the forefront were afraid, who else could stop the Herrscher from outside the universe?

"Moreover, her actions just now... didn't seem like she was retreating in fear of your attack."

"Ha...you're right! Rather than being forced back by the flames, it seems like she took the initiative to withdraw her hand. I don't understand. She has an absolute advantage in strength. Why would she do this?"

Facing the silver-haired woman who seemed to have a thousand faces, Siegfried did not associate her with Shirley. His intuition told him that it was definitely not something Shirley had done, and he never doubted his intuition.

"Why do you do that... Heh. It's like a person who wants to kill a fly but feels disgusted and lets it go?"

Walter joked, relying on his memory of being a Herrscher of Reason, and used the Star of Eden to repair the damaged alloy plates of the Moonlight Throne. Because of the long-distance confrontation with the Herrscher of the End just now, the aftermath of the Holy Judgement of Skyfire and the imaginary energy destroyed part of the fragile mechanical ship.

Siegfried glanced at the giant above. The silver-haired woman transformed by the sky did not move, but stared blankly at her burned fingers. However, the stars that made up her pupils were like countless split eyes squeezed together and flickered slightly, making it difficult to determine where she was looking.

The white-haired man exhaled heavily, grabbed the broken railing and stood up again.

"That's good too. I remember those two girls liked this ship very much. It's a good thing that we don't have to damage it. Since we don't need a warship to clear the way, let's just beat up the Herrscher who is bigger than the Earth!"

"Well... Siegfried, although I would love to fight alongside you again, I'm afraid I can't go with you this time."

"why?"

"Have you forgotten that although I hold the Star of Eden, I am no longer the Ruler of Reason. And there is another successor who is more powerful than me..."

(Right here!)

Breaking out from the crack of light and shadow in an instant, Kiana looked at the ruins of the ruins outside, then looked back at the phantom of the barrier that had trapped her for several hours, and suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

Just now, she seized a moment of opportunity, slipped out from the tiny loophole in the law barrier, and successfully reached the outside world.

However, how could that being who clearly possessed a crushing status make such a low-level mistake?

(Did it let me go on purpose because I was the so-called final piece? In other words, a certain condition that met her expectations had been met...?)

Kiana looked at the gradually disintegrating translucent barrier. The space that had trapped her before was revealed before her without any change. Even the impact craters left by her previous attacks were well preserved. It was obvious that someone in it had already left.

"So......"

The silver-haired girl raised her head, looked at the huge silver woman above the starry sky, and sighed softly.

"You really

You have given me a difficult problem... Sister Sis."

There was no need to say where she should go next.

A golden counter-flow star streaked across the sky, and Kiana's figure disappeared in the silent ruins of the base in an instant. Little did she know that there was an invisible figure watching her all the time, and only after she took action did the phantom of the girl slowly reveal itself.

——In this way, all the gears are back in place.

She looked at the Herrscher of the End standing still in the sky. Her cold gaze became softer and even a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

That's right. I won't let you fall, nor will I let you fail. If your wish is to end this cycle of collapse, then let you be the hero who ends it all, and you will personally end... the last evil god of collapse!

My favorite...sister...

978 Sea of ​​Stars in Memory

Awaken from the deepest sea of ​​consciousness.

Looking around, the galaxy-like halo constitutes the essence of the entire world, and the chaotic void extends to the invisible limit of perception. The self-consciousness of the lost soul is like a drop in the ocean, assimilated into a star in the vast sea of ​​stars.

But it knows that it has not actually been assimilated.

My self-thinking is still clear, my subjective consciousness and objective consciousness are not flawed, and I can still clearly remember who I am.

It closed its nonexistent eyes and drew its own image in its mind.

The next moment, his body appeared clearly in this distorted and strange space.

"Um......"

He picked up a piece of debris from a burst space layer, used it as a mirror to look at his face, and nodded with satisfaction.

Well, I’m Lan Feng, a shameful time traveler whose soul traveled from another world but didn’t get an independent body and didn’t even qualify to be the protagonist.

Because so many things have happened, perhaps I am no longer the original soul. Perhaps I am just a lost soul who can only rely on the memories remaining in my conscious body to confirm my identity. But at least, I can still remember this accurately now.

I was wiped out by the collapsed system, but was revived by the rules of reversed time and space. I escaped due to the insanity of the host, and as the only chance to fight against the final collapse, I accepted Kiana's commission and returned to the polluted sea of ​​consciousness.

So, I have returned to Shirley's spiritual world?

uncertain......

Looking at this completely unfamiliar world of mind, he found it hard to be sure that this was the sea of ​​consciousness where he had lived when he was a soul nail house.

But now, he can no longer sense Kiana's spirit, which at least means that he has left the girl's consciousness space.

The lost soul looked around at this bizarre subconscious space. In front of his eyes, the stars were shining in the sky, but under his feet was a desolate and dim vortex of chaos, as if the platform he was standing on was a devil's cave leading to the end.

There was no sound, no life, and even no other conscious beings like him in this world. It was as if he was traveling alone to the end of the universe and arrived at a place of extreme silence and loneliness.

With a vigilant mood, he tried to take a step and walked towards the nearest star on the mirror of the void.

In this multi-layered world where even conventional three-dimensional structures are difficult to distinguish, he can only rely on those shining stars to identify the direction and choose whether to move towards the starlight, or go against the light source and step into the deeper chaos and darkness...

The choices here don't require much thought.

After all, in a sense, humans are also creatures that tend to move toward light. Rather than crawling around in the pitch-black darkness, we prefer to be in a bright environment and use familiar vision to perceive everything around us.

Although what I "see" here as a human form is actually just a manifestation of energy information in the perception of low-dimensional creatures...

The body of consciousness began to move under the control of the mind. The moment the first step was raised and dropped, he had arrived right in front of the star.

From a distance they appear to be tiny particles of starlight, but up close they are still the same tiny particles of stardust. The intensity of the light has not changed at all, as if the sense of spatial distance does not exist in this world of consciousness, and everything is a composite sticker of fixed size on a flat map.

He looked towards the center of the light and couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

...Is there something else inside?

The light emitted from the particles of the stars is clearly a light source radiating outward, but it is twisted inward like a black hole. The more carefully you look at it, just like pinhole imaging, the larger and clearer the picture appears in the seemingly tiny light source black hole.

In the image derived from the light spot, he saw a planet without its surface. The molten earth turned into scorched earth, leaving countless marks of destruction on the barren planet.

Two ethereal and illusory silver-white figures stood on the Death Star's surface which was already beginning to crack.

"It is the end of another cycle, but the buds of life's infinite evolution will eventually bear fruit again... Our labor is still far from over.

There’s no end yet…”

It was a voice that sounded strangely familiar, as if it was mixed with the voices of several people he knew. But a lost soul was destined to not find any other memories besides those related to Shirley, and therefore could not verify whether this familiar feeling was an illusion or a past experience of loss.

After all, there are too many people with silver hair in this world, and one cannot judge a person's identity based on appearance alone.

By the way, are these...world bubbles?

He did not try to interfere with the affected space. He looked at the two people who had stopped talking and the world that had fallen into complete silence, then turned his head to look at another nearby star.

Just like before, there is also a reflected image in the center of another star.

In the cold metal room, the pink and silver girls sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against each other and talking. The pink girl, who looked more lively, occasionally laughed like a silver bell, as if she was talking about something lighthearted and happy.

The graceful woman with long crimson hair sat on the chair opposite them, watching the two girls chatting with a faint smile.

"...By the way, Shirley, regarding the proposed plan just now, what do you think of the name Paradise of the Afterlife?"

"Then Qqun: 543659389! You might as well call it the Pure Land of Bliss..."

"Oh~? Did you hear that? Eden, our dear little Silis, who is usually so serious, can actually make such a joke? The records we want to leave for future generations should be passionate hymns of fighting to the end before the end. How can we use the Buddhist concept of a peaceful and enjoyable world as a synonym? At least... hehe, don't be so obvious~"

978 Memory of the Starry Sea>>

"Sorry, Ellie, I was inconsiderate, forget it. Eden, what are you laughing at again?"

"No, I just thought of an Eastern dance from centuries ago..."

"..."

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

Hillis?

There is no doubt that the silver-haired girl who appeared in the picture, although there are some subtle differences from the Shiris that he knew, but since they have the same name and such a similar appearance, the possibility of coincidence should be ruled out.

Could it be Shiris from a parallel world?

With this thought in mind, the lost soul reached out to the picture in the center of the light source, intending to use his own consciousness to interfere with this space that seemed like a world bubble.

However, when his fingers touched the light particles, they passed through unhindered, as if it was just an illusion refracted by a ray of light.

The lost soul silently withdrew his hand.

Since it is a manifestation of illusion, it cannot be a bubble in the world, but a memory...and, they should be the memories of the same person.

He turned to the other side again, walked towards a star further away, and cast his sights towards the central image of the light source—

On a night in the Middle Ages in Europe, several young men and women in their early twenties were climbing over the high walls of the church under the cover of darkness and sneaking into the interior of the Church of Destiny.

"Hush~ Keep your voice down. Let's act according to the plan. Otto will go to the Cardinal Hall to plant explosives. Eleanor and I will go to hold the Pope hostage to attract the attention of the religious knights. Kallen will take the opportunity to steal the 'relic' sealed underground in the temple. According to what I saw in the comics... ahem, according to what I found in my investigation, the legendary relic is the First God Key, Void Wanzang. In short, success or failure depends on this one move. As long as we can get the First God Key, we will have the capital to fight against the Holy See..."

The silver-haired girl in the lead gave a low order, exchanged a glance with her companions, and then hurried towards the dark tower...

The lost soul withdrew its gaze.

Obviously, this is a memory from another time period, in the 17th century when the Destiny Organization was at its most corrupt. And the silver-haired girl who led the rebellion is still the owner of this memory.

These are not ongoing parallel worlds, but abandoned world lines that have already happened and only have memory information left! In other words, they are all memories left by the owner of this consciousness space.

Shiris...How many memories of branching world lines have you superimposed?

The lost soul sighed secretly and continued to walk towards the stars with more brilliance.

As a result, he saw more strange worlds, but in these completely different times and spaces, the familiar girl always existed...

In the martial arts arena of Mount Taixu, a silver-haired girl holding a straw in her mouth was lying on the eaves, squinting her eyes as she watched her fellow junior brothers and sisters babbling as they practiced sword fighting.

......

Inside Saint Lude Academy, the sleepy silver-haired girl slowly put on her Valkyrie uniform and walked out of her dormitory carrying her backpack.

......

In the World Serpent's base, the silver-haired girl sitting sideways on a chair looked coldly at Raiden Mei who came to report the mission, and waved her hand impatiently, asking this annoying Herrscher to leave her sight——

......

It's all her...

All are "Healy

The world that the soul of "Silk" has experienced.

Looking at the stars that are getting brighter along the way, the doubts left in the hearts of lost souls are gradually resolved.

It is not Xilin, not k424, and not "myself", but a comprehensive version of the Trinity.

They are all Shilis, the most perfect Shilis. They are all Shilis who have inherited the superposition of multiple wills and successfully determined themselves.

That's right. Every time she comes, she has the memories of a time traveler, Kaslana's unyielding will, and the natural energy control of the Herrscher of Honkai. Without any of them, she cannot become the real Shiris, and cannot turn this huge cause and effect into an ocean of memory.

This patch of stars is the "Library of Reincarnation" composed of all her world line memories. The darkest of them is the memory of the dead star, and from there on, the brighter the star, the closer it is to her reincarnation in this life...

Finally, the visiting soul stopped in front of the brightest star in the sea of ​​stars.

But before he could get close, he heard complaints coming from inside.

"...Hey, are you kidding me? I've said it before, the two of us can't stop a Law-Bound Ruler with half the power of the End..."

"How could I know that she would suddenly sublimate! She had been playing hide-and-seek or releasing bullet screens before. If she had maintained the previous action pattern, she would not have been able to catch us with the Infinite Corridor in my hand! If I had activated it earlier..."

"But you didn't have the chance to use it in the end! So, this trump card is rotten in your own hands, stupid pufferfish!"

"What did you say? Say it again!"

"..."

Listening to the quarrel in the video, the visitor showed a subtle expression. He knew that he must have found his real target...
