K424 of the Collapse World

The boy raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then opened them again and found that the white finger standing on the sea level was still there, confirming that the giant hand was not an illusion.

At this point, five seconds have passed.

Countless ordinary people around the world who were stunned by the sudden arrival of the Hand of the End were able to come to their senses in just five seconds, showing their fear and astonishment on their faces; and those scientific experts who were sitting in front of the observation terminals, witnessing the giant falling and being unable to do anything, also widened their eyes at each other after these five seconds, and fell into a second round of daze as they looked at the stagnant scene on the screen.

Was it because the instrument had crashed, so that the moment when the giant's hand destroyed the world could not be projected on the screen, or was it because the people were still in a state of mental stagnation and the changes in the outside world had not yet occurred?

But the timer on the multiple photon screen was still ticking, and many scientists began to rub their eyes and wipe their sweat subconsciously. It was obviously not a malfunction of the instrument, nor was it a blocked stress response of the human body.

In other words, the finger with a cross-section of millions of kilometers has already poked into the Pacific Ocean?

But...what is going on? !

Where is the impact? Where is the kinetic energy of that exaggerated mass, enough to create a tsunami on the sea surface? Where is the turbulence of the air? Where is the chain reaction caused by the huge volume disturbing the atmospheric environment? Why hasn't this planet been torn apart by the shock of a planetary impact? Why did the people of the whole world not feel anything unusual when an alien attack was enough to cause abnormal celestial phenomena?

The bust of the End that had previously ignored the laws of gravity and spectral refraction, at least its falling fingers would still be affected by the basic rules of atmospheric friction. But at this moment, the Honkai scientists could no longer use conventional physics and science to explain the phenomenon before their eyes, and they could not understand where the impact that was enough to break the star into countless pieces went. Even if the Herrscher of the End stopped his attack at the last moment, the violent fluctuations in airflow caused by his rapid passage through the atmosphere would at least tear a crack in the entire planet.

During this short period of time, some scientific research teams behind the battlefield prepared to investigate the new anomaly, and ordinary people who came to their senses also began a new round of chaos and panic. For those who lacked knowledge of macroscopic physics, the most fearful thing was that the next point where the finger would land would be their refuge.

In just a dozen seconds, people were suffering for a long time. No matter what, people outside had no way of knowing what happened to the finger of the Herrscher of the End that touched the ocean.

So, what exactly is going on?

First of all, within millions of square nautical miles near the Finger of the End, the waves of ocean currents and the flow of air came to an absolute stagnation the moment the finger fell, and were solidified by some kind of energy.

If you zoom in, you can see the pale pillar finger reaching up to the sky, with its fingertip touching the surface of the ocean. But if you can observe its actual contact surface with the ocean at a close distance of 50 kilometers, you will find that before the giant fingertip touches the sea surface, it first touches a huge dark "reef".

But in this part of the Pacific Ocean, there has never been such a reef with an area of ​​millions of square kilometers.

The "reef" is pressed deep down by the fingertips.

Depressions and countless spider-web-like cracks continued to spread on the rock strata, just like rice cakes placed under a hydraulic press, which seemed to be crushed into tiny fragments in an instant.

However, every time the crushed rock structure turns into fragments and turns over from the cracked rock, it will automatically drill into the cracked rock layer, fill in the cracks between the "reef" body, repair the surface that was broken under the heavy load, flow to the middle part pressed by the fingertips, and then be pressed to the surroundings again, and fill it back, and so on...

The reef, which is almost the same size as the entire Far East, is constantly breaking and reorganizing. The dead stones are moving rapidly, just like the cells of an organism, precisely and efficiently, using their fragile rock structure to cleverly dissolve the pressure that far exceeds their density and mass.

As long as you are within thousands of miles of the surrounding sea, you can hear the eardrum-tearing, earth-shaking roar of the giant beast, which is spreading non-stop in all directions...

Of course, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where the air was completely frozen, no one would be aware of the earth-shaking roar.

If members of the Far East Branch who participated in a special operation were present at the scene, they would probably be able to recognize what this huge monster that blocked the Finger of the End was.

"What a pathetic creature...it looks like it's in pain, doesn't it?"

A tall woman with black hair and golden eyes sat on the outermost rock pillar of the reef, watching the struggle between the Finger Pillar of the End and the black reef indifferently. Her expressionless eyes showed no expectation for either side.

983 The Sword and Shield of the Past Shenzhou>>

"The next second after waking up from a deep sleep, a pillar fell from the sky and crushed my back for no reason. No matter who it was, it would be unbearable..."

Standing diagonally behind the black-haired woman, Fu Hua stared at the edge of the sunken reef with a little concern. After her gaze lingered on the Finger of the End for a moment, she turned back to the black-haired woman.

To be precise, the black-haired woman was holding a pitch-black ancient sword in her right hand, which was inserted into the crack of the reef. The red gem embedded in the hilt of the sword was flickering slightly as the reef automatically repaired itself, and a strange dark red light flickered in the crystal.

The Xuan-Yuan Sword, which once sealed the Judgment-level Honkai beast, was gradually eroded and covered by the accumulated Honkai energy. Why couldn't the Divine Key, which originally had the Herrscher core as its main body, become the core of the Honkai creature again?

Thus, Chi You, whose core was shattered by the cannon of the Glorious Covenant and sank back to the bottom of the sea, was awakened by a new energy source. When it returned to the surface of the sea after crossing half an ocean in pursuit of the energy of Honkai, it was greeted by a giant god's finger that fell from the sky...

"It deserves it. Let's not talk about what happened in the past. I will not allow such a hateful evil thing to sleep peacefully. I must take this opportunity to squeeze out every last bit of value from it."

The black-haired woman raised her eyebrows slightly, and exerted a little force on the palm holding the Xuanyuan Sword. An increasingly bright red light burst out, accompanied by the roar and wail of the giant beast. More black rock structures emerged from the surrounding sea surface, merged into the body of Chiyou's Collapse Beast and rushed towards the center of the Tongtian Finger. The accelerated regeneration of the rock layers boiled up like fluid, and even climbed onto the fingertips of the Finger of the End.

"..."

"Oh? You can't bear it anymore? Don't worry, this is not even one ten-thousandth of the pain I've experienced before!"

The black-haired woman sneered. Although the woman in front of Fu Hua had black hair and golden eyes, her figure and face undoubtedly belonged to the Valkyrie Muliangta Himeko of Saint Freya.

Her arrogant and aloof demeanor and conversation at the moment were also very different from Ji Zi's cheerful personality. As for the reason why all this happened, Fu Hua, who had experienced the whole process in the Holy Scar Space, naturally knew what was going on.

The eroded remnant soul finally acknowledged the agreement made in the past and borrowed the body of Himeko Muliangta to fulfill her promise of protection. The latter also readily agreed and completely handed over the control of consciousness to the remaining will in the holy scar.

The Yellow Emperor - Ji Xuanyuan.

Once, she maintained the seal of Chiyou for thousands of years, allowing the Key of God to maintain its original form and prevent it from being devoured and assimilated by the Honkai Beast. Now, she can also do the opposite, turning the Key of God into the Herrscher Core that the Honkai Beast desires, and use it to block the attacks of the Herrscher of the End from the universe...

Chi You is the oldest Judgment-level Honkai Beast, and its ability to devour the land's rock layers and assimilate them into its body already has the potential to evolve into a planetary-level Honkai Beast. It was originally sealed by the Xuanyuan Sword, and then its core was destroyed before it reached the land. This characteristic that had never been shown before was finally fully released today.

What, there is no land in the center of the ocean? It doesn't matter. Xuanyuan Sword is the only key to the archetype in this world. As long as we use its ability to manipulate elements to extract minerals from the seabed for Chiyou to devour, we can make this pseudo-infinite growth power Houkai Beast a shield to temporarily block the Herrscher of the End...

Fu Hua looked at the broken and overlapping back of Chi You, and the worry in her eyes was obvious.

Even the strongest Honkai beast can barely block one finger of the Herrscher of the End. What will happen when she launches an attack with all her strength?

The dark-haired woman's eyes turned to her former best friend.

"Come to think of it, my friend, you really haven't changed at all."

"......What?"

"Thousands of years have passed, and your facial expression is still as monotonous as it was back then."

Looking at Fu Hua with a sullen face, Ji Xuanyuan's cold and murderous face quietly revealed a nostalgic smile.

"Chi Yuan, what are you worried about? Are you afraid that you will be powerless to prevent this disaster? Look at your comrades, they are not as pessimistic as you..."

Following Ji Xuanyuan's gaze, Fu Hua raised her head and looked up into the sky——

In the middle of the fingernail of the Herrscher of the End, she saw Diana who had returned from the moon. It was this girl who activated the power of the Herrscher of the Sky to completely block the air and sea space around the falling Finger of the End, and confined the impact that was enough to cause a tsunami in multiple space cages.

Further up, a girl with short dark green hair spread her emerald crystal wings and stood at the outermost layer of the atmosphere. The high-energy storm circles around the Finger of the End were restricted in place by colorless fluid energy. These strong winds that were enough to blow away the surface of the planet were transformed into harmless breezes by another power and quickly flowed away from the storm circle of the column...

As the Herrscher of Wind, Wendy could of course prevent the Finger of the End from affecting the atmospheric environment.

In addition, Mei, Bronya and others who had failed to block the attack before quickly adjusted their posture and rushed towards the finger of the End. Iseline also returned to the battlefield on the Moonlight Throne's battleship at the same time as the Anti-Entropy troops.

No matter what they plan to do next, everyone's goal is the same at this moment...

"You're right, they never gave up."

Fu Hua murmured, the solemnity in her eyes showing no sign of fading.

"However, the Herrscher of the End of this era seems to be somewhat different from that of the previous civilization era..."

984 Unquenchable Will

Before the Herrscher of the End launched the second attack on the human planet, during the few minutes of inactivity, in another empty world at the other end of the starry sky, something was also happening synchronously in the disordered space and time...

stare--

Faced with the two girls' long silent gaze, the uninvited guest who had intruded into someone else's sea of ​​consciousness gradually became a little panicked.

"Um... Shilis? Don't you remember me?"

"..."

The expressionless silver-haired girl continued to stare at the young man in front of her, and seemed to have no intention of talking to him.

And slightly in front of the girl, Miss Silin also had a poker face with no expression, but the hint of hostility in her eyes and the constant stroking and weighing of a Sub-Sky Spear in her right hand clearly exposed the fact that she had no good feelings towards the person in front of her.

As sub-consciousnesses that constitute the soul of "Cilissa", they naturally recognize the young consciousness body that is also a fragment of Cialis. However, as a scene of a "colleague" gathering, the current atmosphere seems to be a little wrong.

After a long time, the silver-haired girl with golden-blue eyes softened her expression, raised her hand and pressed on Xilin's shoulder, signaling her to put away her hostility, and then stepped forward past her purple-haired companion.

"Okay... He is not a creation of the end energy, nor is he an illusion of the mind body in the memory light ball. In a sense, the Mr. 'Lan Feng' in front of us is indeed the nail house that once lived in our sea of ​​consciousness."

"Wait... in a sense? You mean, he's different from the real otaku time traveler?"

Xilin asked in confusion. Although the Spear of the Sky in her hand had already dropped downwards as her fighting spirit disappeared, her eyes were still sharp as she examined the young man.

"Well... let me put it this way. In order to heal the mark of the law of destruction on my body, Xing reset my body to the timeline of five years ago. With this local interference in time and space, the power of the law of time will also restore my former state of dual souls as one."

The silver-haired girl looked at her palms and frowned. The slender five fingers made her feel confused and distorted. After many physical changes and the change caused by time interference, she could no longer remember what her true self should look like...

Putting her chaotic thoughts aside for the moment, the silver-haired girl continued to explain.

"But the real Lan Feng has been exiled by the Honkai consciousness, and his soul no longer exists in this dimensional world. Therefore, the energy of the law of time directly extracted the self-awareness of Lan Feng in my consciousness and reconstructed a consciousness of Lan Feng in my sea of ​​consciousness - that is, Mr. 'Lan Feng' in front of us."

"It's similar to the Herrscher personality, right? The destroyed God copied part of the original personality's emotions and will, and condensed an independent individual consciousness in the sea of ​​consciousness..."

"It's a little different. First, the original consciousness used by the Law of Time to create this new Lan Feng was not copied but extracted, just like the difference between copying and pasting and cutting and pasting. It did not leave a backup for my consciousness. Secondly, the consciousness of this new Lan Feng is not the pure negative consciousness of the Herrscher personality.

"He is not just a collection of superficial feelings, but a complete body that truly inherits my spiritual cognition of Lan Feng. So, in a very far-fetched sense, he can barely be considered the person I used to be - although I will not admit it."

The girl spoke in a calm tone, and after answering all of Xilin's questions, she no longer paid attention to the purple-haired girl who lowered her head in thought.

Her eyes swept over the young man's slightly panicked face, she sighed softly, and then officially turned her gaze to the uninvited guest who had been left out for a long time.

Although her gaze had calmed, the sense of resistance and distance in her expression lingered.

"When I was still the real Shilis, I vaguely remembered the process of you escaping from this sea of ​​consciousness. Now, tell me, why did you come back?"

"I... Kiana and I were attacked by an unknown Honkai creature and were trapped in a Honkai energy barrier. We tried many ways to escape but couldn't. As a last resort, I thought of the spiritual channel connecting you..."

The young man carefully adjusted his words, forcing himself to ignore the girl's sense of disharmony and answer the questions she raised first.

"Really? But this is a meaningless move. As you can see, 'Shiris's' spiritual world is in shambles, and her body has been taken over by the Herrscher's consciousness. We are also trapped here after being swallowed by the Herrscher's body, and there is no way to leave."

Standing on the edge of the light ball at the top of the Star Sea Tower, the silver-haired girl cast her gaze down the chain of memory light balls, but did not find any cracks through which she could escape.

In this space of laws where reality and spirit intersect, low-level beings who cannot touch the power of the end can only be squeezed in the cracks of the laws' creations, let alone interfere or escape.

If you dare to touch it again, the only result will be the assimilation of being dissolved and swallowed.

"It seems that you have just put yourself in another cage from which you cannot escape."

"Maybe, but at least I achieved another goal."

"Another target?"

"Find Shilis, or find her true self."

The young man responded, facing the girl's surprised and amused look calmly, and continued speaking.

"I chose to leave your sea of ​​consciousness because I noticed your transformation into a Herrscher in advance, and I went to find Kiana because..."

984 Unquenchable Will>>

"Stop, I'm not interested in your experience, and I don't want to know what you've paid, although I can basically guess... In short, in my opinion, you are just Lan Feng No. 2 who was born by accident. I won't transfer the feelings that are in the real Lan Feng to you. By the way, you should be able to directly escape from the host's sea of ​​consciousness, why do you have to take the initiative to get involved in these troubles? Isn't it better to be a free and lonely wandering soul? Even if you are the real Mr. Lan Feng, you have no obligation to pay for the survival of this world, right?"

The silver-haired girl frowned, and her rejection of the young man's consciousness in front of her became more and more obvious.

She can use the help of Silin and Xing as a spur to her own will, or she can stand up to face the end for Siegfried and Theresa's wish to protect the world. She retains the most basic emotions of intelligent life, and can give for important people, but that's all. From the beginning to the end, these are not the goals she really desires now.

The failure of her full-strength effort had taken away all her current motivation. She was lucky enough to survive the corrosive energy of the Herrscher of the End. And now, this fake consciousness that came back from nowhere actually wanted her to continue risking her life? !

What a joke!

(If it was the real Lan Feng... no matter what he asked, I would probably agree without hesitation. After all, that is a favor I can never repay. But this guy... who does he think he is?!)

"No matter why you come to me, you are doomed to be disappointed... Maybe I am really the soul of Silis Kaslana, but now I am just an empty bottle without will and faith. The contents of my soul have long been broken into pieces by the Herrscher of the End and made into clones! No matter those pieces or me at this moment, it will never be possible to go back to the past!"

"..."

Shocked by the girl's fierce tone, the young man's consciousness took a step back. But then, his eyes became firm again and he looked into the girl's eyes again.

"Ah...I know. But I'm here for that, too!"

The finger that was thrust out to penetrate the planet was easily blocked by a fragile and tiny thing. However, the Herrscher of the End did not immediately launch the next attack. Instead, he looked curiously at the wind pressure barrier and space lock surrounding his fingertips, and slowly retracted his finger.

But this seemingly withdrawn attack still poses a deadly danger to life on earth.

Click, click, click

Along with the sound of energy structures shattering, the blocked space created by Diana with all her strength was instantly destroyed by the reverse superposition of kinetic energy.

The out-of-control shock wave crushed the waves on the sea surface and was about to create a

The circular tsunami that engulfed the entire continent directly swept into a strange half-real and half-virtual space, and was swallowed up by the void boundary without causing any ripples in reality.

Although Bronya's materialized mental space could not directly block the physical attack of the Herrscher of the End, the conventional physical impact caused indirectly was not enough to break the power of the Eighth Herrscher.

As the fingertips of the End no longer pressed on Chi You's body, the Honkai Beast, which had evolved to the planetary level, roared and raised its head. Its broken and reassembled body raged on the sea, trying to break free from the control of the user of the Key of God.

"Tsk..."

Ji Xuanyuan, who was temporarily in Ji Zi's body, smacked her lips and clenched the hilt of the Key of God with both hands, trying to suppress Chi You's instinct with the power of the ruling law. The next moment, faster than her, a purple lightning struck Chi You's back, and the dazzling electric arc even touched the sea water outside the giant beast's body.

Mei's attack was not enough to silence the planetary-level Honkai beast. But at the same time as she launched the attack, another golden meteor instantly fell on Chi You's head, like a giant anchor falling from the starry sea, almost knocking the beast's body to the side.

Standing on the cracked rock layer where Chi You's head was, the Valkyrie in golden armor turned around and briefly exchanged glances with the Herrscher of Thunder who was thousands of meters away. She then raised her fist and smashed into Chi You's head again, which was riddled with holes, directly smashing the football field-sized beast's head into pieces and separating it from the body.

This is the power that carries a world bubble.

Bianca Atagina, the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, finally joined the battlefield against the End. It didn't matter whether the Bishop of Destiny was behind her or not.

Under natural disasters, all humans are in the same camp.
