K424 of the Collapse World

(Yes, that's it... Just like before, use your blood to compose the hymns of mortals, let the gods appreciate your so-called courage and faith, and let her listen carefully to this mournful and tragic melody...)

She was indifferent to the sacrifices and heritage of the mortal race. No matter how passionate her war cry was, it could not shake the girl's already solidified mortal heart.

I wonder if this time, after the light of humanity has completely burned out, the remaining filth and ugliness on the back side will allow her to see your true nature?

Oh, and you...

Turning her sights to a certain position on the battlefield, the girl on the throne sneered as she looked at Kiana who was still trying to find the earliest trace of afterimage.

(Want to continue the previous ceremony? Sorry, you are out. Although it is due to external interference... but in my case, those who are disqualified will never have a second chance.)

Even if the superimposed causal fragments of existence are enough to subvert the rules of the dimension, if there is no appropriate force to guide it, this power will only be buried deep in their souls forever, and will be lost at the moment when the fragile life dies, and everything will become invisible.

(As the most effective catalyst, completely igniting her emotions is your ultimate value to me...)

The space in the cracks was torn apart in accordance with the will of the End, and dozens of imaginary energy mimics emerged from the depths of darkness and rushed towards the silver-haired girl who was unaware of the chaotic battlefield...

Goodbye, the other me from fifty thousand years ago.

1035 The existence of conflict

When Kiana finally realized the crisis approaching, the mimic assassination team from a certain Herrscher had completely surrounded her, cutting off all her escape routes and forming a joint attack in a blocked space.

With her own Honkai perception, Kiana instantly analyzed the theoretical strength level of these afterimages, and realized that her own strength was not enough to deal with this catastrophe. She couldn't defeat these dozens of Herrscher phantoms alone, not to mention that they were blessed by unknown laws of unknown origin.

At this moment, she was isolated and helpless.

Not to mention that Kiana, who was trying to search for the incarnation of the end, had already left the core area of ​​the battlefield. Even if she still stayed in the center of the battle, no one would notice this insignificant siege in the chaotic and fierce battlefield - after all, everyone was fighting with their lives at stake, and no one would specifically rescue a stranger.

The few Herrs of the quantity were not even allowed to have time to be distracted.

Unable to win, unable to escape, unable to hide, unable to stop - at this moment, if there is no help from other strong people, the only ending waiting for her seems to be death...

“——Dodge to the right!”

Following the shouts from the mental fluctuations, the star spear wrapped in flames tore open the encirclement of the End Shadow, and rolled the afterimages of the multiple Herrschers of the End on the left into the flame energy of quantum fission! Kiana also took this opportunity to burst out her own power at the same time, escaping from the encirclement by simulating the laws of space, and successfully joined the support from the outside world, facing the remaining powerful enemies back to back.

"Yulandel?"

Kiana looked sideways at the supporter who came to help. Seeing the golden-haired figure covered in star armor, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that it was this Valkyrie of Destiny who she didn't have a close relationship with who helped her at the last moment.

The infinite fusion of imaginary numbers and quantum was interrupted by Shilis, and the world bubble in Yulandel's body returned to stability. The strongest Valkyrie, no longer affected by the disturbance of imaginary numbers, would naturally return to the front line of the battlefield.

"Don't be careless, Miss Kiana. The fluctuations of these unknown creatures are very strong. I'm afraid it will be a tough battle."

"Well...but I'm not going to sit still and wait for death."

The serious and paranoid Valkyrie had no intention of exchanging pleasantries, and Kiana also didn't like to talk much, so she just nodded slightly in response. Then they tacitly faced the array of laws woven by the afterimages of the end and took the lead in launching a strong attack.

The two determined girls fought side by side, as if they were in perfect coordination with each other, as if they had turned the brutal battle into some kind of art. But this scene, in the eyes of the spectator who had already seen through everything, only made her laugh mockingly.

It happened to be these two——

The foreign souls occupying the points, the original anchor points being displaced by external forces...

In the past, there was K423 and "Kiana", and in the future, there was "Kiana" and Yulandel. Because of a fragment that was secretly smuggled, these destinies that had been altered countless times began to branch out into new branches.

Another me, in a sense, you are really sinful...

The silver-haired girl sitting in the temple rubbed her forehead and sighed so that only she could hear it. Then, with a hint of mischief, she knocked on the door of Yulandel's heart.

"Why should I protect her?"

"You know what? The person in front of you once allowed his own selfish desires to change the original trajectory of your destiny and force his existence into the Kaslana family, just so that his new life could be closer to the soul he followed..."

1035 The existence of conflict >>

"Bianca Atajina, did you know that it was she who replaced your fate, stripped your existence and left it to be reshaped by reincarnation, and took your original place... the usurper!"

"..."

Yulandel wanted to ignore this unknown voice, but she couldn't resist the clear sound of every word in her mind.

"Anyway, you have to make a choice. Do you want to know what happened at the moment when the reincarnation cycle was reset, or do you want me to tell you a long story during the break in the battle?"

·————————————·

The five Herrschers attacked the five split imaginary divine corpses respectively, but the number of individuals split by the imaginary divine corpse and the dimensional blueprint was at most six.

The last Divine Remains were held back by reinforcements led by Hyperion of the Quantum Sea. Relying on the extra-dimensional technology that could run rampant in the Quantum Sea, and crew members who had become singularities in countless worlds, this force composed of non-staff forces, even independent of the United Army of All Realms, blocked the astral-level Divine Remains creations with their tiny numbers.

"How is it? Delta, are you sure you can handle this big gear? I'll be happy if you can say it's very simple like before."

"Unfortunately, this guy is not one of those world devourers that are only good for show. It is very difficult to deal with... If all the guys I met in the World Bubble were this kind of guys, I'm afraid my name would have been engraved on the monument of the Dimensional Administration long ago."

? Holding two heavy swords, the pink-haired girl standing at the front of the battleship deck responded to the hacker's joke while casually beheading a Judgment-level Honkai beast that was close to the battleship. She looked at the seemingly invincible imaginary god's skeleton, and a fleeting bitterness appeared in her solemn expression.

"I'm really going to get myself into trouble... Well, this is the last time anyway."

·————————————·

In this huge battlefield whose impact range is measured in light time, the battle situation at the edge is still an ordinary corner even if it changes constantly. At this time, the five Herrschers and the countless starships deployed by the Alliance Expeditionary Force are still fighting with the main force of the Virtual God Corpse. The martyrs fill the overwhelming individual strength gap with numbers. Even though the original plan was completely shattered, the communication between the various circles became increasingly unstable, and the internal turmoil continued.

Even so, they still serve as a strong shield of civilization to protect the myriad worlds behind them.

As for the main force of the stigma awakeners in the edge world, since the original plan did not allow them to return to the inner world to fight, these warriors who were like death squads were isolated outside the thick barrier of the collapse crystal and were unable to provide support in this unexpected raid on the inside.

Watching this protracted war that ended in a stalemate due to sacrifice, and watching the despicable actions of the instigator after starting the war, the young gods fighting for civilization in the other dimension, as a certain Herrscher had expected, took the initiative to ignite those deep-seated emotions.

You're doing this for me, right?

You should be able to hear my voice.

You should be able to feel my gaze.

Don't want to answer? Or don't need to answer at all? !

"If that's what you were going for... then congratulations, you've made it!"

1036 Necessary Abandonment

"...Are you going to stop me even now?"

The white-haired man turned around, and the dim sword of destruction in his hand quietly emitted a flash of fire.

"Answer me, Otto Apokalis."

"It's unfortunate ... but I still say it's a necessary move."

Standing under the flagship's light screen, the blond man's projection swayed unsteadily, but still stood firmly in front of Kevin, blocking his way to the outside of the bridge.

He witnessed the desperate fight of the five Herrschers, and the blood and corpses of the Allied Forces to bridge the gap between the two sides, blocking the Void Tree God Corpse and the infinite collapse at the second layer of the World Ring. Watching this battle for the survival of civilization where countless lives were risking everything, the blood of Kaslana under Kevin's extremely icy bloodline seemed to boil again for this final battle.

As a warrior holding the Mark of Savior, he should and must fight at this time to slightly reverse the strategic defeat of the Alliance of All Worlds and turn the tilted balance back to a situation of equal strength.

However, Otto once again stopped his action, and even secretly cut off the space jump support maintained by Void Wanzang, leaving countless mecha Valkyries and fusion warriors on standby in the Axis World in the same place.

He was allowing the alliance's military strength to continue to be depleted at a high rate, resulting in unnecessary sacrifices.

"Then prove to me the necessity of abandoning our allies, and the specific contents of those so-called follow-up plans."

Kevin, holding the greatsword, seemed to be able to break through any wall of the ship at any time and head to the battlefield of his target. However, out of some strange intuition, this paranoid man who did his own thing was somewhat concerned about the opinion of his companion.

"If the only line of defense collapses, the fusion world will no longer have an effective force to stop the collapse, which is enough to declare the failure of civilization. By then, the troops you have retained will be crushed by the collapse without any suspense, just like the current alliance."

"Really? Are you sure that if this line of defense is lost, we will lose everything? Mr. Lord of the World Snake, when did you start to lie like me?"

Otto's slightly mocking and harsh words cooled Kevin's already cold face even more. Of course, he was not angry just because of the words, but he was dissatisfied with Otto's irrelevant answers and the slow pace of his speech.

"Haha... This is not a good habit. Mr. Kevin must correct it as soon as possible. Otherwise, your loyal followers of World Snake will blame me for corrupting their Lord in the future."

"..."

Just before the white-haired man lost his patience, Otto abruptly brought the topic back on track.

"I promise that the disadvantage in the battle situation is only superficial. After all, neither side has really started to fight, and the coalition forces are far from showing the full strength of the civilizations of all worlds. Things like this are indeed difficult for a martial arts person like Mr. Kevin to detect."

Otto smiled, without a trace of nervousness on his face.

"I admit that I deliberately cut off the Axis World's combat power supply. But - when did you get the illusion that we were the only ones hiding our strength and dawdling?"

Otto said with his eyes half closed, his cold voice echoing in the silent bridge - the communication channel connected to the Alliance Headquarters had been disconnected from the Glorious Covenant line at some point.

"Excuse me, dear Mr. Kevin. So far, apart from the God's Key and the Holy Relics from our world, how many strategic-level super-divine weapons have you seen in the coalition forces from those worlds?"

"The world bubble is not..."

"Don't forget, the Herrscher Core that has lost its connection to the Void Tree will not disappear with the reset of the era, nor will it become ineffective with the sinking of the World Bubble. In the World Bubbles of those remaining civilizations, there are also traces of advanced Honkai technology..."

Otto's finger drew a holographic projection box, and the image showed an ornate dagger decorated with tender green flowers.

"For example, Sugar Silver Key."

"..."

"With your organization's all-pervasive intelligence system, there should be no need to explain the details of the "Outer Key"? A fully core fusion creation that can interfere with the virtual tree dimension... for now.

In the current situation, its existence has exceeded its actual value. "

"In the part of the quantum sea that merged with the Earth, since there is a super civilization like the Empire, there is naturally no shortage of special world bubble civilizations like Hughes."

With Kevin silent, Otto completely took over the current topic.

"Although the world bubbles that have joined the alliance have already brought out the strongest strength that matches the scale of their respective civilizations and invested in this glorious war, it is impossible for those advanced civilizations that possess such technologies as controlled fusion and warping to remain at the level before their destruction for thousands of years as world bubbles and stop at the most basic level of dimensional technology. So I guess... No, it is certain that they still have reservations."

1036 Necessary Abandonment>>

"Take the 'Empire', the most powerful surface civilization, as an example. No matter how you look at it, their most advanced technological core cannot be mass-produced products like orbital airborne strikes and genetically modified troops."

"Then the current situation is obvious."

Otto snapped his fingers.

"Obviously, this is still a problem of the overall integration of the alliance. The humans in the World Bubble are different from us. They were born in the remnants of the destruction of the Void Tree civilization and inherited the identity of losers from their ancestors from the very beginning. Faced with the doomed decay of the remnants, the survivors who only reproduce from generation to generation based on instinct cannot maintain the desire for evolution and the will to fight of normal civilization. This is the corruption that no intelligent life can avoid. Even the immortal species who faced the entire process of collapse and destruction in the past and carried deep hatred cannot do it. All non-eternal things under the gods will lose their own light in the wear and tear of time."

"The delegates attending the conference cannot make decisions for the world behind them. In the World Bubble Civilization, there are many people in power who are like broken-backed dogs. Faced with this sudden catastrophe, although more people have regained their pride as human beings and are willing to burn their lives to protect the continuation of civilization. But those completely corrupt people at the top will never do so. They will hold on to those last means of self-preservation tightly and will not let go easily until the moment of their demise. They will not use them directly at the beginning of this war, in this joint operation where all forces seem to be doing their best."

Otto, who was casually flipping through the real-time battlefield intelligence, suddenly clenched the terminal in his hand.

"As they gradually fell into devastation, they had long forgotten the horror of the collapse. The concept of the origin of the Void Tree was too abstract for them. And those guys who were completely corrupted from head to toe might not believe the description of the destruction of civilization in the End Intelligence we provided."

"——They are hoping for the best."

"..."

Kevin's silence came to an end.

"You are planning a tragic defeat of civilization..."

"Yes, I am causing the initial offensive to fail. As long as this line of defense is breached, the remains of the End will invade the inner layer of the World Ring. By then, those World Soaking High Lords who have ulterior motives will have to face the true power of the End. At that time, I am afraid they will do their best to resist for their own sake and take out those secret weapons that can threaten the Ruler of the End.

"This is just a catalytic process. As long as a few of the outer alliance world bubbles perish, it should be able to alert those foolish self-protective people and make them realize that there is no shortcut in this war. This is the final battle that everyone must go all out!"

"As far as the results are concerned, you are doing the same thing as them..."

"Humph... But I want to put an end to it all, not for their ridiculous purposes. Although our world is still at the center of this world ring, I have no intention of using other world bubbles as victims of delaying the offensive like I did the first time. This is just a necessary ritual. I believe you can understand the importance of inspiring the true power of civilization."

"—"

The white-haired man said nothing more.

What else could he say.

This epic war, which was claimed to be the continuation of civilization, was actually nothing more than a more correct strategy to calculate those despicable people with ulterior motives behind the scenes. Then, for these "necessary great sacrifices" on the front line, revealing the truth would only waste their unconscious efforts.

This is a defilement of countless noble people, and a betrayal of the entire alliance to the masses of the world. But apart from this, is there any other way?

At least Kevin can't think of a second way to completely solve the problems within the alliance.

Therefore, no third person will know about this plan.

The indomitable courage and will of the dedicated people are destined to be unable to withstand any slight shaken from within.

"No matter how much it costs, humanity will defeat the Houkai."

If this is also part of the price, then it doesn't matter how deep the sins I carry in this body are.

Watching the fire of annihilation being extinguished once again, Otto's eyes softened.

"I'm glad we've reached an agreement again. Now, I can only hope that those short-sighted fools can see the real situation sooner. If possible, I also hope to minimize the cost of this failure.

price......"

"..."

"Well...or, we can try to pray for the miracle of civilization."

Otto's finger once again fell on the strategic thumbnail of the holographic projection. With an intriguing look, he pointed to the "black moon" that he had highlighted, representing the imaginary collapse point...
