K424 of the Collapse World

At this moment, the cold-blooded seeker of knowledge who once detached himself from the collapse and civilization, for the first time sincerely hoped that mankind could defeat the collapse and win its own future.

The blond man raised his head again.

At the end of the skyline, the purple hues that were hidden in the starlight and gradually spread out were the extremely high concentrations of Honkai energy derived from the dissipation of the final energy. They were scattering at the top of the starry sky barrier, scattering the original bodies of countless Honkai beasts from the starry sky, setting off a new round of catastrophe...

No one can accurately save the lives of every victim from the global collapse frenzy. This is a test that all mankind must face.

That's not my battlefield. Besides, I have to wait until the people arrive...

"How slow, my old friend..."

The next moment after hearing the sound of breaking air, Otto turned around slowly and looked at the petite figure slowly landing on the rooftop platform not far behind him. The solemn expression on his face was hidden again and replaced by his signature polite smile.

"Even at this critical moment of civilization's survival, your concept of time is still so weak... Miss Shiris."

"Please don't call me by that name. This body of mine is just an experimental subject that inherited the original body's memory. Please don't regard me as the real person."

The silver-haired girl who descended from the sky retorted in a low voice and walked quickly in front of the Bishop of Heaven's Fate.

Seeing the blond man's soul-steel face unable to conceal a trace of fatigue, the girl's slightly tired eyes revealed a mocking smile.

"Besides, 'Siris' is not your friend. She never was."

991 The Interweaving of Myriad Worlds

On the rooftop of an inconspicuous dilapidated building, a blond man and a silver-haired girl looked at each other.

Otto Apokalis, subject K438.

The former is a person of great honor and destiny, while the latter is an experimental subject who should have been abandoned but gave birth to a will. These two people who should not have any intersection, but at this moment, they meet because of a common contract.

Facing the Bishop of Heaven's Fate in front of her, the girl's attitude was not hostile, but it was definitely not friendly.

Otto could see this, but he could also ignore it. After all, he had always maintained this kind of friend-enemy relationship with those temporary collaborators.

"Well... Miss K438, I'm honored that we can reach a consensus. Anyway, at least you and I have the same current goal, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have abandoned those people who were entrusted to you.

Important work, you came all the way here for the appointment?"

"Hmph... I'm not that important. To Shilis's relatives and friends, a fragment of my consciousness is not even a substitute. I'm just a worthless superfluous person who doesn't need to be eliminated."

The girl responded unhappily, glanced at the broken glass on the ground not far away with a look of surprise, then stared at Otto's eyes, as if trying to find any trace of the man's abnormal emotions.

"Anyway, the so-called job is just a place for me to stay out of pity. No one will know even if I leave. So, I'm just curious, what went wrong with your plan that you need a humble and weak fake like me?"

The girl came to the edge of the rooftop and looked down at the Valkyrie troops on guard in the surrounding temporary military zone. She then turned her head and looked up at the Colossus of the End in the sky again, which looked like someone.

Although the Herrscher of the End was so huge that her image almost spread out in the sky, as if the entire planet was in her hands, the area she had previously targeted was only in the Eastern Hemisphere, so the headquarters of the Destiny in Northern Europe was temporarily spared from the attack of the Law of the End, and only needed to wait for the massive Honkai Beasts born from the energy aftermath, just like the defense lines in ordinary areas.

This is also one of the reasons why the two of them can still talk peacefully here when the end comes.

——It’s not actually appropriate to say this. After all, Otto is the only one who appears to be calm and composed.

"So, don't give me those opening speeches, just tell me directly, what exactly is your plan? If it is still some boring conspiracy against other organizations, or a stupid plan that is useless in fighting the End, then I'll take my leave. Although my power is weak, it is enough to stop any Honkai beast below the End Level on the front battlefield. I shouldn't waste my time here with you."

Seeing the tide of collapse coming down, the silver-haired girl rubbed her hands and squinted her eyes, the pseudo-core from the World Serpent Fusion Energy Technology was boiling with huge amounts of collapse energy in her body, and she could burst out energy and soar into the sky at any time, rushing to the front line to fight against the collapse...

"Relax, my friend. Although Destiny currently does not have individual combat units of the Herrscher level, our remaining Valkyrie troops are more than enough to deal with those small fry of Honkai derivatives..."

"If you say one more word of nonsense, our negotiations will be over."

"...You should still remember what happened when we confronted the Ruler of Constraint in the Imaginary Space."

Seeing the anxiety in the girl's eyes, Otto sighed and tore up the original draft in his mind. As he spoke, he raised his hand to meet the girl's gaze.

A semi-liquid sphere emitting golden light quietly emerged in the man's palm.

"As you can see, after the Ruler of Constraints eliminated the Honkai consciousness hidden inside the Key of God, I gained full control over the Void. The knowledge accumulated by the First Rulers of countless civilizations, as well as the changes in Honkai energy that occurred with the progress of different civilizations, are all recorded inside the Key of God."

"..."

As Otto's topic finally got to the point, the silver-haired girl tilted her head slightly and listened carefully to the plan that the Bishop of Destiny was about to reveal.

"This opportunity is rare. I wanted to spend a few hundred years to thoroughly study this knowledge and find out more characteristics and related information of Honkai, but the arrival of the Herrscher of the End forced me to change my plan. I can only find an emergency plan to help civilization survive the end of the world."

As Otto spoke, the terminal next to him started up again, projecting the world map on the light screen and locking onto a coordinate deep in the ocean.

"This location seems to be... Haiyuan City? What do you want to do with Haiyuan City?"

"I will use the Void Myriad Treasures in Haiyuan City to activate the Mimicry: One Thousand Worlds, with the help of the Eye of the Haiyuan's quantum conversion system, and use the energy of the Key of Void to open the channel of the four-dimensional imaginary space, and establish a connection with the countless world bubbles adjacent to this world."

Hearing this, the girl frowned slightly and couldn't help but interrupt Otto.

"You plan to go to other world bubbles to seek external help? It's useless. You should also know that the world bubbles floating in the quantum sea are all broken leaves that broke away from the imaginary tree after the collapse. They have been defeated by the remnants of civilizations after the collapse. Some fragile civilizations have not even passed the test of the first Herrscher. How can they find a way to fight against the end?"

"Who said I was going to ask for help from the losers? This is just an additional attempt to recycle waste in the struggle where civilization has put all its efforts on the line."

"Recycling? But the passage rules of the Quantum Sea are all one-way, dominated by one side of the world bubble. The remaining civilization in the world bubble will not give up everything for a strange world. Even if a high price is offered in negotiations, it is hard to say... Wait, are you planning to...?!"

Suddenly, she thought of some terrible guess, and her pupils suddenly contracted. The moment she turned around, she met the blond man's slightly cold eyes.

"Yes, I will transform the mimicry of the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle into the Heavenly One at the moment of construction.

Fire Judge, launch an attack on space, break the passage between this world and these world bubbles, as well as the shackles of the law! Then use the coordinates of the Eye of the Abyss, use the spatial anchor point of this planet as a carrier, and put all the 'water drops' of the neighboring quantum sea into the same bucket. "

“What are you kidding…!”

The girl subconsciously raised her voice, but when she saw the blond bishop's calm green eyes, the words of rebuttal were immediately stuck in her throat.

——This guy is serious.

"When those world bubbles are connected to our world, the Herrscher of the End we face will also become their biggest threat. By then, no matter how much the civilizations of the world bubbles hate us, they will have to join forces with us to fight against the sanctions of the Herrscher of the End in order to survive."

Otto said in a deep voice, looking at the stunned silver-haired girl, a gleam of edge flashed in his sharp light green eyes again.

"You are right. The civilizations that were reborn by the shattered world bubble are all losers in the Honkai War. Even if they are united, they are mostly a mob. It is basically impossible to expect to defeat the Herrscher of the End by stacking numbers. But I believe that among the countless water drops in the vast ocean, there must be some special remnants of civilization that can become a turning point for us to fight against Honkai. I want to pull them all into this muddy water... and make them our helpers."

991 The Interweaving of Ten Thousand Worlds >>

"..."

The girl's stunned expression of astonishment lasted for a full five seconds. She opened her mouth stiffly, reorganized her words and rescinded them several times, then rubbed her head with a headache and let out a long breath.

"This is a crazy plan that fits your personality... Using a complete world of the Imaginary Tree to forcibly carry other world bubbles, in pure theory, this is indeed possible to implement."

The girl rubbed her temples, forcing herself to maintain a rational analysis. Then she changed the subject and stated her prediction.

"But if you take into account uncertain factors such as space-time chaos and law conflicts, it is more likely that the balance between imaginary numbers and quantum numbers will collapse, and then fall into the quantum ocean and detonate a super depth charge - our world is the fuse of the bomb."

"Of course there are risks, but we don't have a better way. Wasn't the transfer plan that 'Cilis' had envisioned a gamble as well? Leaving the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and escaping into the quantum sea, before the branches and leaves lose nutrients and wither with the loss of energy, if we can't find another way to maintain the world, won't it decay and disappear like the world bubble?"

Otto's answer made the girl fall silent again. She lowered her head speechlessly and patted her cheeks hard, as if she wanted to dispel the illusion in front of her eyes and regain her normal thinking logic.

After all, this assumption that civilization and the world are treated as resources to be consumed at will has a serious impact on the world view.

"But... if we let countless neighboring world bubbles suffer this unprovoked disaster together, failure would mean that countless lives of thousands of civilizations would also be wiped out with our demise. The number alone is probably an astronomical figure... With your personality, you might not care about bearing the sin, but it's still a little scary to think about it..."

"Heh... I don't remember that 'Cilis' was a foolishly kind person with no courage. You, who inherited all her memories, will you have more compassion out of thin air?"

Glancing at the hesitant girl, Otto slowly folded his arms.

"The world relies on the nutrients of the Imaginary Number Tree to survive. After the world leaves that leave the Imaginary Number Tree and sink into the quantum sea to become a world bubble, they will inevitably decline and be destroyed as they lose their supply source. This is the inevitable trend of the world bubble, and the remnants of civilization are destined to face a slow death. Rather than letting them enjoy those illusory peaceful lives, it is better to use them for us and contribute to the civilization that is still fighting against collapse. Or, will you pity those worlds that have nothing to do with us? Pity those lives that may even be different from us in race?"

"..."

The girl still did not answer. She just raised her head and looked at the starry sky outside the final incarnation, her eyes flickering slightly.

The quantum sea world bubbles in the four-dimensional law zone should be denser than the stars in the sky, and more substantial inside. Even if the civilized world is reconstructed after being broken, it is still the home of countless intelligent life forms...

Mercy? Of course not. Why should we have mercy on some strange worlds whose existence has not even been confirmed? For the continuation of its own world, the World Serpent can sacrifice more than half of its compatriots in exchange for the progress of the Stigma Project. What can be criticized about Otto turning to use other civilizations outside the planet?

There is no sympathy, just emotion...

"last question."

The girl blinked, and her hesitant look gradually turned into determination.

"The power of the Holy Judge of Skyfire alone should not be enough to destroy the space-time chasm between the world bubbles. Moreover, when we establish a connection with the world bubble, the other party will also feel it. Among the worlds destroyed by the collapse, there are many powerful civilizations that have developed to a certain extent. When they realize your purpose, they may have ways to protect themselves...

If so, what would you do? "

"First, at the moment of building the space-time link, the physical distance between us and the world bubble will be infinitely close to zero as the laws blend. In this case, the space-time channel is extremely fragile, and the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, which has the power to destroy the laws, is completely enough to tear this film apart. Secondly, I have also thought of the situation of the world bubble resisting the connection you mentioned. Otherwise, why do you think I sent you an invitation letter?"

Looking at the confused silver-haired girl, Otto smiled intriguingly.

"I'm sorry, I extracted your blood cells without your permission on the Thousand Worlds Train. Ms. K438, according to the data I compared on the Void Bank, the pseudo-nuclear transformation technology that the World Serpent used on you is a veritable Fire Moth Fusion Warrior technology. In terms of the nature of the energy, it is enough to touch the core of the Law of Honkai."

Shifting his gaze to the girl's chest, Otto's green pupils quietly flashed a golden light, just like the gear pupils of the Herrscher of Reason flashed across his eyeballs in an instant.

"No doubt, you can also launch 'artificial collapse' - that is, fuse the Herrscher form of the warrior, and then simulate the energy properties of the Houkai matter, and inject the force of erosion into the imaginary channel. Do you think that with the defense system of those losers, you can resist the attack of the real Houkai force? Even if I can only barely stalemate with them, I have enough opportunities to destroy the barrier of the space-time channel and use the anchor point to prey on their world bubble."

At this point, Otto seemed to suddenly think of something and sighed softly.

"In theory, Yulandel can do the same thing. With her experience in traveling through imaginary numbers, she may know better how to avoid the defenses of the world bubble civilization... Unfortunately, that child is too upright and has established friendly relationships with humans from other world bubbles. I'm worried that she won't be able to accept such a plan, so I have to find you."

"Hmph... I see. That's why you sent Yulandel to the front battlefield far away from the headquarters..."

The silver-haired girl frowned, looking at the blond bishop in front of her with a helpless smile, her heart gradually calmed down.

Looking at the girl's calm expression, Otto shrugged.

"Not to mention Yulandel, even Rita might refuse such an order, right? My friend, you are probably the only one in this world who would accept my plan. After all, in a sense, we are the same kind..."

"I'm not your kind."

"So...are you willing to go along with my plan?"

As he spoke, Otto extended his hand to the silver-haired girl in front of him. The starlight of the polar night stretched his blurry shadow infinitely and sank into the darkness of the distant horizon. At this moment, the silver-haired girl who was looking at him also merged with the long black shadow.

"... Otto Apokalis, in terms of the biggest rationality, you are a more terrifying guy than Kevin."

Despite saying this, the silver-haired girl with a disgusted expression took a step forward and shook the blond man's hand without hesitation.

In response to her behavior, the latter just smiled.

"I will take your evaluation as a compliment."

992 Dim Fire

The upper area of ​​the Far East Shelter is where those who witnessed the actual scene of the Honkai disaster and survived it are located.

This is the weakest area in terms of defense. As a place for shelters to accommodate space, it was even the front line of the Valkyries' fight against Honkai not long ago. Even though the invading Honkai has been temporarily eliminated, some traces still remain here...

The bumpy metal passage was filled with blood and purple-black slurry. The metal door, which was more than half melted, was severely deformed and blocked the center of the only entrance.

Although the shattered structure of the inner isolation door was unable to stop even the weakest assassin, the false sense of security brought by obstructing the visual space made the people stranded there unwilling to move it away, staring directly at the damaged first gate of the shelter in the darkness.

The closest to the damaged isolation door was a pair of young twin girls. The blue-haired girl was holding a roll of bandages and carefully bandaging the wound of the girl next to her.

"Lilia... don't worry so much about my..."

"I haven't given you permission to speak yet, silly sister."

Lilia frowned and interrupted the weak voice. Even as she said this, her hands moved more and more gently, and finally tied a bow at the end of the bandage, covering the horrific scars on the pink girl's shoulders.

After doing all this, she took a deep breath, put the few remaining bandages around her tail, and slid against the wall to sit next to Rosalia.

“Hoo…Hoo…”

"Okay, don't be angry, Lilia. Idols need to pay great attention to emotional management~"

"..."

"Ahem... Yeah! Look, she's totally fine. After training with Teacher Himeko, Rosalia won't lose to anyone anymore!"

"Honkaimon is not a human... Stupid Rosaria..."

In the palm of your hand

The sharp purple object silently pierced into her arm, and Lilia's slightly dilated pupils regained focus. She breathed quietly and quickly, burying the sharp pain in her heart.

She pretended to yawn, hid the gadget in her sleeve, then turned her head expressionlessly and looked at the pile of debris outside the isolation door.

"No matter what... you shouldn't have rushed over just now. I could have defeated the Lava King, but you..."

"Hey hey hey... sorry~"

"I don't need your apology, Rosalia. You are much stronger than me. Even if I failed to block it just now, I shouldn't let you get hurt because of something like this..."

As she spoke in a low voice, Lilia looked around. She saw that in the depths of the shelter, ragged survivors were sitting in groups of three or four. A silent and depressing atmosphere lingered in the enclosed space.

Most of them were located far away from the broken isolation door, creating an invisible barrier between them and the twin girls at the door.

Fear of the Honkai monster outside the gate might be one of the reasons, but most people glanced at the two girls with rejection and fear, even hostility and hatred, and cast their eyes at the two exhausted girls without hesitation.

It was as if he was looking at a real Honkai beast.

In the doomsday when human psychological pressure is at its limit, any creature that is different from its own species will basically be subjected to this kind of equal hostility, not to mention that their tails and horns already have the characteristics of Honkai beasts.
