K424 of the Collapse World

"We are all half-baked, so stop trying to be more than you can be."

The imaginary energy that overflowed from tearing through space rushed towards Shiris, and was then swallowed up by an elliptical golden light curtain.

Divine Grace Barrier - Eternal Prisoner

Shirley pushed her palm forward, and the light curtain formed by the restraining force expanded, pressing the torrent of energy back into the collapsed space layer, offsetting and erasing the doom energy that disrupted the rules of space, along with the flames of the plague, leaving no trace of the remaining temperature of the starry sky.

"That's it?"

Using the power of restraint to eliminate an equal amount of the power of the end, the restraint barrier that was spread out with Shiris as the center retracted back toward the palm of her hand, and then bloomed a golden beam of light that penetrated to the other end of the universe -

This is not light, but a super long restraint spear that Shiris reconstructed with restraint energy and thrust forward. It does not even have the concept of speed. When it is constructed, it has a limit length in light years. It is like a line segment directly pasted in the universe, just covering the point where the Herrscher of the End is.

Without any suspense, the spear of light directly penetrated the body of the Herrscher of the End - but in fact, the completed column appeared directly in the body of the Herrscher of the End, using the power of restraint to gain an advantage over Honkai, forcibly squeezing a large hole in the particles that constituted the Herrscher's body, and skewered her on the spear.

When the laws of cause and effect of both parties interfere with each other and become ineffective, this is a true sure-win situation!

Now that she has figured out the true nature of her opponent, she can be sure that the disadvantage in the previous battle was not caused by the difference between the false god and the true god, but by the difference in experience in manipulating the energy of the end. Then, there is no need for Shiris to force herself to remain passive and carefully imitate the opponent's tactics. Since she is winning by experience, she can just use her best skills to fight back.

Putting aside the concern that her own laws might be countered, Shiris drove the Constraint Light Spear with all her strength and easily pierced through the integrated single-element energy body of the Herrscher of the End, leaving her with heavy damage that required additional computing power to repair.

——Although the law of restraint cannot erase the higher-level power of the end, the restraining energy of the light spear has locked the flow of energy particles around it, making it impossible for the Herrscher of the End to escape from the spear that pierced her like a slime, and her movements are temporarily controlled.

To the Herrscher of the End, being controlled meant that Shiris's delay was successful. So, she made a prompt decision, abandoned the few body particles that were bound and locked by the light spear, and directly broke up and reorganized her body to get rid of the control of the constraint spear.

After the Herrscher of the End showed his intention to forcibly break away, Shiris did not hesitate to detonate the thousands of light-year-long Constraint Spear—a structure connected to her energy source that was no different from an extension of her consciousness, and her manipulation would not be delayed by distance restrictions. As it appeared in an instant, the light spear that penetrated the body of the End instantly split into a thousand-foot light cone, blowing up half of the particle body of the End.

“That’s it?! Ha——!”

Seeing this scene, the girl laughed out loud on the spot, and faced the sub-space spiral cones that were collapsing from all directions, and straightened her small but curvy chest.

1030 Swinging Scales >>

The next moment, while severely inflicting damage to the Herrscher of the End, the girl was also hit by the back-up plan reserved by the End, and dozens of holes were opened in her body by the counterattack of the Sub-Void Cone. But even so, Shiris still smiled happily.

"finally......"

Although in the previous fight, both sides had smashed each other's bodies many times, and they instantly recovered as before under the infinite vitality. Compared with the previous battle, this time the exchange of injuries seemed to be nothing.

Variety.

But in fact, this was the first time that Shiris took the initiative and gained an advantage!

She was afraid of the power of the true god, and was afraid to show her true ability, fearing that the opponent would seize her weakness with a stronger power and subdue her in one blow. But now, the facts have proved to her that all her worries were unfounded.

The person on the other side was nothing but a paper tiger! Just like her, a false god who retained her mortal nature, they were all made of paper!

As the last wisp of golden light merged into the starlight, the body of the Herrscher of the End, which had been torn apart by the restrained light blade, was reassembled. At the same time, the wounds left by the Sub-Earth Cone on Shiris also disappeared completely, and her body, which was riddled with holes, became complete again.

The repairs of both sides were completed almost simultaneously, and the advantage established by the Herrscher of the End was shrinking faster. Even the time it took for the Herrscher of the End to break through the subspace and return to reality was slightly extended as the situation approached equilibrium...

Seeing this result, Shirley confirmed her judgment again, and her fighting spirit and confidence increased.

"Guess how long it will take for the experience gap between us to be completely eliminated by time? How much damage can your only chance to judge reality cause to the prepared fusion world?"

"..."

"Keep playing dumb? That's the expected reaction. Anyway, I don't expect to get any useful information out of you."

Facing the stars that were dimming once again, and the dark vortex on the other side of the battlefield that was almost swallowing up the universe itself, countless blue electromagnetic beams emanated from Shirley's body, entwining and spinning at high speed to form a solid hemisphere, reflecting the darkness on the other side and lighting up the light of the other half of the universe.

Pseudo-black hole and pulsar - gravity versus electromagnetic force, an obviously unfair duel between the two fundamental forces. It is hard to imagine that the Herrscher of the End, who always demonstrates his precision and perfection, would actively choose weaker gravity to perform his ultimate move.

It seems that the inertial thinking of the mortal consciousness has finally revealed its true colors. The real her is probably a romantic girl who likes to play with the stars...

"Are you anxious? After all, you can't completely destroy the civilization of that world no matter what. I will interfere with your attack, disrupt your results with the power of time, and consume your energy with the law of restraint. When your only remaining advantage is exhausted by attacking civilization, you will once again return to this eternal alien space arena, and you will no longer have any chance to escape. By then, we should be able to have a good chat, right?"

As she spoke, the girl suddenly changed the subject.

"But I also know it won't be that simple. That psychopathic Herrscher of the End who doesn't speak human language in the higher plane, that guy who loves to stir up trouble, can't just sit there and watch us two incarnations of the End seal each other. Even if she's indifferent, the high-dimensional observers behind the scenes can't just sit there and do nothing. I know something about them. At least, in an infinite loop of dead ends, there won't be any experimental information they want to observe."

"Want to peacefully welcome the reset of the era? Wishful thinking! Since you all intend to use stillness to overcome movement, I will force you to move first..."

Judging from the results, Otto's plan to transform the basic matter of the imaginary world into a collapsed structure can be considered a success.

The bubbles in the quantum sea were taken in as branches and leaves by the new world tree, making them interconnected and merging into a larger and richer isotopic multiverse. But even so, except for those approximate world bubbles that were completely merged into the axial world, the barriers between most world bubbles were not completely dissolved, just like the cell membranes that still exist in the cells that make up an organism.

Therefore, the world bubble can only directly observe other world bubbles in the surrounding area. Only in the gap between the edge of the world ring and the second layer can you see the outer environment that is completely collapsed like hell...

Irregular layers of Houan matter piled up like purple dark clouds on everything within sight, making the naturally generated crystal layers of uneven depth form the outer shell of the world ring.

The outer shell of this collapsed crystal is not beautiful. It is like a huge cover. The opaque, dirty, purple, and messy sky that covers the ring of the world replaces the shining stars in the outermost ring connecting to the universe, and it emits an unsettling and weird light.

Ordinary people simply cannot imagine how the people who were left behind would become hideous and deformed creatures in this unpredictable concentration environment...

Even the high-level insiders in various circles knew nothing about the "stigmata" of the Axis World. They were not sure whether this seemingly simple genetic modification could enable the Honkai Corruptor to maintain its will, and they did not even understand the details of this technology. However, due to the joint contract, each world had to send their most elite warriors through the portal of the Herrscher of the Sky, and soon they would set foot on those cursed worlds together.

Fortunately, they, who were on the surface of the fringe world, had been isolated by the shell of collapse. Representatives from all walks of life could at least comfort themselves that no matter how dangerous and terrifying the remaining ones became, their sharp claws and fangs would not swing towards the civilization of the inner ring.

People who can observe the fringe world are speculating wildly. As members of the alliance with the right to speak, they may be under pressure to know the truth, but those who will not go to the front battlefield will never know the truth on the other side of the crystal shell...

...

·————————————·

At the same time, in the underground restricted area of ​​the World Serpent Altar, the terminal of the Paradise of the Past, which has never stopped maintenance, is now operating spontaneously without a successor.

In a world generated by simulated data, two consciousnesses are floating on the surface of the platform, and one of them is communicating unilaterally.

"......Kevin~ My dear Kevin, I promise, this is really the last time I ask you. Do you really not consider Mebius's suggestion?"

"..."

"Just this once, okay?"

The pink-haired girl lay on the back of the man's chair, pretending to be mysterious and lowering her voice, whispering something that could be heard by the whole room.

She repeated it dozens of times without getting tired of it, and even though she had been completely ignored by the man dozens of times, her brisk and energetic tone did not show any sign of fatigue.

"You know, the situation now is different from the past. The rules set when the Paradise was first established were for the better development of future generations. But now, don't you think it's a bit pedantic to continue to abide by it?"

The girl turned around lightly and naturally moved to the side of the chair, continuing to stare at the man in front of her. Her rosy cheeks showed irresistible enthusiasm, and she continued to speak.

"Look at those awful crystals. They should have been as colorful as flying flowers and flowing fireflies, but because no one cared for them, they grew into ugly shapes full of holes...

"Kevin, you know my abilities. As long as those works of art that protect civilization pass through my hands, I can make them more beautiful, stronger, or even flawless."

The girl continued to talk to herself, and the attitude of the listeners did not dampen her excitement at all.

"You see... all of us memories are like this. We have perfectly replicated our original selves at the consciousness level, retaining our original thoughts, reason and even emotions, and freezing time at the best time of our lives. Well~ if we don't care about this form of existence that depends on energy data, we can even say that we are still alive."

"..."

"In this case, all we need is a suitable carrier to allow the Thirteen Heroes here to be reborn and return to reality in the same state as their previous lives..."

She blinked, and some stars seemed to be dancing in her shiny blue eyes.

"If I remember correctly, the Stigmata Project Zero Database, which is connected to the Paradise, has the genetic samples of every hero well preserved~"

The pink-haired girl's soft and seductive voice echoed in Kevin's ears, but it could not shake the man's mind at all - he was as cold as ice, just like his eternally frozen body temperature.

"Alas... It seems necessary to go to Hua first. Perhaps Yu Duchen can make our communication more harmonious~ Or go to Yidian for help... Although she will definitely not go with me, she should be able to help persuade you~"

"If it doesn't work, I can gather everyone together and hold a regular meeting like we did before to see what everyone thinks and whether the new era really needs other pioneers... But no matter what, I'm sure I won't be the only one willing to go and see the new world..."

As she spoke, the pink-haired girl sighed and made a move to walk towards the deeper door. At this moment, the indifferent man finally responded.

"......Aliceia."

"Hmm? Hmm——?! Are you finally willing to pay attention to me?"

"If you have made your decision, just act accordingly. There is no need to ask for my opinion."

"Oh, but you are the leader of all of us. As the second in command, I cannot overstep my authority without authorization!"

"The world doesn't need two Kevins. I have no intention of returning to the reality of the New Era, but I won't interfere with your actions either."

As he spoke, the man in blue maintained his original sitting posture.

"As for the other me, I am the only one who can stop you in reality. I have no intention of interfering with his choice."

"His choice?"

"Since the other me has acquiesced to your actions, I don't think the original rules of the paradise are more important than the needs of reality."

"Yes... At that time, wasn't it him who took the initiative to break the unspoken rule of 'not revealing the outside world to the memory'? He informed me of the situation in the outside world and even sought the opinion of a deceased person like me..."

As she spoke, the girl tapped her forehead in annoyance, but the look in her eyes revealed cunning joy.

"Oh... Why didn't I think of this earlier? Am I living too comfortably? It seems that a life of luxury is not always a good thing."

At this point, she stopped talking to herself and waved happily at the white-haired man.

"Thank you! Kevin, I knew you wouldn't be an ice cube all the time. But, are you really not going to go with me? I'm suddenly looking forward to seeing the scene when you two Kevin meet..."

"..."

"Okay~ I can see that you are really not interested, so I won't force you. Who made me so kind?

I understand...but there must be others willing to accompany me in the paradise."

The girl's figure gradually disappeared into the deeper part of the data world.

“Let me find out where Klein went… As a data manager, let’s not talk about Mobius. If this is also my request, she will definitely not refuse, right~?”

“It turns out that our world can be so small.”

In the cracks of the world ring boundary, countless shuttle fleets transformed into particles of light emerging from the inner ring's world bubble, dense and messy, floating towards the crystalline layer of the outermost ring of the fusion world like dust in the sun, and disappeared into the dim purple light curtain.

On the temporary space station created by the Ruler of Reason, Diana looked at the gathering of the Allied Forces of All Realms and sighed for no reason.

The next second, before Bronya cast a questioning look at her, the silver-haired girl with a sentimental face continued to add the next paragraph.

"I remember half a year ago, when I first controlled the power of the Herrscher and flew out of the atmosphere on my own, I looked at the endless horizon in the distance that connected the universe and the earth, and I felt that the world on the surface of this planet was so huge and magnificent."

The girl spoke softly, and the sound composed of energy information waves echoed in the silent space and resounded in the ears of every Herrscher girl on the space station platform.

"But now, every time I see this 'Ring of the World' and try to find the location of the Earth, the memories of those feelings I had before suddenly become much more unfamiliar..."

"Diana, this paragraph is very suitable for adding a few words to the post-war summary report."

"..."

"Bronya suggested taking some notes immediately. Otherwise, with the paramecium-level brain capacity of stupid Diana, she will forget everything in a few seconds."

"Ugh... That's annoying. I really have some emotions, and it's a rare opportunity to share my feelings with you all..."

Diana's mouth twitched, and she covered her face helplessly. The heavy emotion she had just been brewing disappeared instantly with Bronya's interruption.

Before she could continue speaking, the gray-haired girl raised a finger expressionlessly.

"In Bronya's impression, characters in RPG games who suddenly become sentimental before a big battle basically cannot escape the fate of being killed."

"This...wasn't that what you did just now? Discussing post-war matters before the war even started. Isn't this also a flag in the comics?"

"Bronya is just using suggestion to boost morale and let everyone stay calm and face the end..."

"What's the point of keeping calm? This isn't the final exam. If we don't work hard from the beginning and give it our all, we'll probably end up repeating the same mistakes we made before the world merged."

"Regarding Diana's divergent thinking, Bronya speculates that the previous large-scale biological transfer consumed too much energy and caused her concentration to be distracted. I suggest that she accept Bronya's psychiatric treatment first and recover as soon as possible..."

"Hey! Why are you suddenly bringing up the topic of psychiatric treatment?"

"..."

Listening to the conversation between the two girls, many people smiled kindly even though they knew they were deliberately making jokes to ease the atmosphere. This included Mei and Fu Hua. The other Saint Freya members who stayed in the Axis World also followed the Alliance's expeditionary force and joined the vanguard.

The warriors who were able to land in the heavy collapse zone were all elite among the elite. There were genetically modified warriors with qualities comparable to those of Valkyries, mecha armies composed of mechanical life forms, royal troops of pure blood of extraordinary races, and wizards and sorcerers who mastered the secret arts of energy. Among them, there were even demigods and supermen of the level of the Fire Moth Fusion Warriors.

Billions of united forces are gathering in the outermost world to complete the first line of defense of all civilizations in the final preparation time.

Although Otto used inferior means and a tough method of acting first and reporting later to make his plan the only feasible one and get representatives from all walks of life to agree with his plan, the results showed that the combat power of many world bubble civilizations was truly combined with the implementation of this plan.

1032 Join the game >>

No matter how a world bubble civilization in the quantum sea would think that its understanding of collapse can exceed that of an imaginary world civilization that is capable of breaking the rules.

"It's time for us to act. Diana, Bronya, return to your seats."

Following Iselin's calm and indifferent voice, the observation space station where the Herrschers were located was reorganized under the will of the Herrscher of Reason. The open-air platform was covered by a metal dome, the reactor was replaced with an imaginary energy furnace, and the core system became the warp technology carried by the shuttle.

Next, they will become one of the countless light dusts and enter the land covered by collapse...
