K424 of the Collapse World

(There is still a long time before the turmoil in the world of collapse officially begins, so... let's take this opportunity to get familiar with this world...)

In the Far East, St. Freya College...

Located on the edge of Changkong City, this large college with European architectural style was finally unveiled to the public after its recent completion.

Through the gap of the solemn gate, you can see the elegant layout and beautiful environment of this college. A cobblestone path crosses the square in front of the college and stops in front of a fountain. Irregularly shaped small flower beds are scattered around the square. A white main building stands in the center behind the square, exuding a noble and transcendent momentum. It makes people wonder, where is this aristocratic college?

In fact, this is the academy of the Far East Branch of the Schicksal Organization that trains Valkyries. Even before it was built, someone applied to become the principal of this place.

"Well... there's nothing wrong with this resume, but..."

Theresa Apokalis, who had become the principal of this school, was sitting on a specially designed desk with increased height, frowning and looking at a man standing in front of her.

"Have I seen you somewhere?"

Theresa looked at the resume file in her hand and compared it carefully, but she still couldn't remember where this inexplicable sense of familiarity came from.

"How could that be, Miss Principal? I am just an ordinary teacher. How could I know such an important person as you?"

The man wearing a pair of black-framed glasses spoke gently, with a faint smile, and looked politely at Theresa who seemed a little distressed.

"Forget it... maybe it's just my illusion. Um... Speaking of which, you should know about the confidentiality agreement, right? This is not an ordinary academy."

"Ah, I know about it. The academy that trains Valkyries... This is a confidential matter, right?"

"Since you already know, that's great. According to your resume, you have a teaching certificate from the history department. Well, I'll invite you to be the history teacher for this term. The college was just recently established and we are a little short of staff, so it may be a bit difficult at the beginning... um..."

At this point, Theresa subconsciously glanced at the name column on the resume file in her hand...

——Walter Young.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Walter."

"Well, then, I still have to prepare the lesson plan, so I'll take my leave now, Miss Principal."

The man with glasses said softly, and then turned and left the principal's office. Theresa breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't remember the source of this familiar feeling. She shook her head and put away the resume with a tired look on her face.

"The job of the school principal is really hard... Should I capture Himeko to do the job for me... Forget it, that guy should still be in class..."

While talking to herself, the petite girl with silver hair collapsed on the table. At this moment, she suddenly felt a little regretful. After all, for her, an S-rank Valkyrie, using Judas to smash the Honkai Beast was much easier than reviewing documents.

"Wuwu... Never mind, I'll have to get used to these things sooner or later..."

With a deep sigh, Theresa took out the next piece of paper from the pile and continued her boring work...

"But... this kind of life seems pretty good..."

At this time, the world slowed down its rotation and the days began to settle down...

Volume 3, End

090 Minor changes

Since the beginning of civilization in this world, collapse has always been present. Until today...

Even now, the world is still threatened by the disaster of collapse. In unknown places, the cause of the collapse is unknown. No one knows where the source of the collapse is.

Where.

Under the protection of the Destiny Organization, most areas of the world are completely isolated from the disaster of Honkai, and people can live in peace. However, the protection of the Destiny Organization is not absolute. Central Asia and parts of Africa are still in a state of Honkai. People living here are always in a state of fear, and they have to guard against the invasion of Honkai beasts at any time. If there is any emergency, they must abandon their original residence and find another place.

Compared to their lingering lives, some people living in safe areas don’t even know the real existence of Honkai.

While those living in the areas where the Honkai outbreak occurred were migrating their families to avoid the disaster, people living in safe areas were sitting in the cinema, watching disaster movies such as "Honkai Impact 3"; while some people were heartbroken for their loved ones who died in the Honkai, people in safe areas only needed to hold their popcorn, sigh for their feelings about the movie, and put these things behind them.

The so-called collapse, in the eyes of ordinary people, is just something like zombies and aliens, a disaster that only exists in imagination.

This world is inherently unfair.

·————————————·

Southern Europe, the region where Europe and Asia meet...

In a country like this, only cities near the government can completely resist the invasion of Honkai. Generally speaking, people living in other areas occupied by Honkai will eventually become victims of Honkai over time.

However, in an unknown place, a small town is located on the wasteland. Originally, it is impossible to build a large-scale town in such a place where collapse frequently occurs. But because a silver-haired stranger came here a year ago and cleared all the nearby collapse creatures, compared with other parts of the country, this place is already a fairly safe place. Many wanderers who passed by here chose to stay. Over time, a small village has gradually developed into a town.

But this kind of safety is only relative. The Honkai beasts in the wasteland can never be eradicated. No one knows where they come from, but every once in a while, there will inevitably be Honkai beasts invading this area. But they basically can no longer cause much damage...

·————————————·

--boom! !

In a field far away from the town, a fire lotus suddenly bloomed with a loud bang, dyeing the distant sky a bright red!

A silver-haired man with a ponytail stood in the field, silently looking at a huge Honkai beast shrouded in flames in front of him.

After a while, after confirming that the Honkai Beast was completely dead, the man exhaled slightly, put the weapon in his right hand back into the holster on his waist, and turned around and left the place, leaving only the charred remains of the Honkai Beast all over the ground...

"That's it... Let's go home. By this time, Kiana's situation has been resolved, right?"

He looked at the only gun holster left on his waist, smiled softly, and walked slowly towards the town behind him...

·——————————·

at the same time……

In a forest on the other side of the town, several white and purple winged creatures floated in the air, flapping their wings vigorously and flying at a high speed in one direction.

These creatures looked like moths, but were the size of a computer desk, with purple Honkai crystals filling the tips of their sharp wings. They were clearly the most standard form of an Advance-level Honkai beast.

At this time, these breakthrough-level Honkai beasts were flying at high speed in the low sky, passing through the short bushes, making a sharp sound of breaking wind. They were chasing after a white shadow in front of them, getting closer and closer...

—Bang! —Bang!

Suddenly, with two short and loud gunshots, two huge sparks suddenly burst out from one of the Honkai beasts, and then it was engulfed by the rising flames! The terrifying high temperature instantly melted the end of its wing shell, directly depriving it of its ability to move! The Honkai beast turned directly into a ball of fire and rolled awkwardly on the mud in the forest.

The remaining Honkai beasts paid no attention to their companions who were wailing and rolling in the flames. They followed their own desire to kill and continued to track the petite figure in front of them who was nimbly climbing over the bushes.

That was a girl holding a gun in one hand...

Her long silver-white hair was braided into two pigtails, swaying with her vigorous steps. She was wearing a cold-resistant coat, the hem of which swayed slightly as she ran at high speed...

For some reason, the girl had a bandage wrapped around her forehead, completely covering her right eye. The pupil of her left eye, which was exposed, was a clear blue, and her eyes were filled with confidence and fighting spirit. Facing the attacks of several Honkai beasts, she calmly dodged in the woods, using the complex and dense jungle to play with these Honkai beasts.

Suddenly, a charge-level Honkai beast with a ring on its head paused, and purple light suddenly burst out from its body! The next moment, as its wings suddenly folded, its long and narrow streamlined body instantly turned into a stream of light, approaching the running girl in front of it like lightning, and the sharp edges of its head pierced the girl's back!

However, the girl just turned her head slightly, glanced at the Honkai beast that was approaching her in the blink of an eye, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Humph...I was just waiting for your attack!"

The girl in the galloping state suddenly slid forward, leaning slightly, and brushed past the super-advanced level Honkai beast. The moment the girl leaned over, she had already drawn out a scimitar from her waist. The moment the Honkai beast passed over her body, the cold blade fell fiercely on the Honkai beast's hind wings, and the huge force directly tore the Honkai beast's wings completely! Purple juice suddenly splashed out...

After the girl destroyed the wings of the Honkai beast with one strike, she did not pause at all. She quickly drew her sword and leaped sideways. An advancing Honkai beast instantly slashed across the place where she had just stood. The tip of its wing shell cut a huge, hideous cut in a nearby tree!

The girl calmly swung the sharp blade in her left hand and blocked the wing shell of another Honkai beast. At the same time, she raised the Holy Fire Judgment in her right hand and pointed it at the Honkai beast behind her that was adjusting its shape...

--boom!

A blazing red beam of light pierced through the head of the Honkai Beast, leaving a charred black hole. The Honkai Beast's body froze, and as the purple light on its body dimmed, its body functions completely stopped. The next moment, the Honkai Beast fell from mid-air.

The girl didn't care about the results of her previous battle. She twisted her wrist and turned the blade to the side, blocking the wing shell of the Houkai beast in front of her and passing by it. She didn't attack with the knife again, but swung her hand and shot a gun. The flying beam flashed past and pierced through this weak defensive Houkai beast!

The girl stopped and looked around. At this time, there were no living creatures around, and the few breakthrough-level Honkai beasts she had killed were thrown on the ground at random.

Seeing this, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put the Holy Fire Judge back into the holster, but suddenly there was a slight shaking on the ground that came from far away. Although it had become quite weak here, it did not escape the girl's perception.

"Eh...? This feeling... is it a tank-class Honkai beast?"

The girl muttered to herself in confusion, her expression becoming a little subtle, but not at all panicked.

“What should I do… Dad doesn’t allow me to fight against tank-class and temple-class Honkai beasts, but if I continue like this…”

The girl turned her head and looked at the distant horizon. She could vaguely see a small town there.

Thinking of the people who lived there, the girl couldn't help but grit her teeth, and her right hand holding the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire suddenly tightened the handle of the gun.

"I'm sorry... Dad. I can't let it into this town."

Feeling the ground shaking more and more violently, it was obvious that something was approaching. The girl silently stood there, without any movement, waiting for the giant beast to approach...

“Come to think of it, dad also didn’t allow me to use the cannon form of the Holy Fire Judge… He said I couldn’t handle it? Humph… He wouldn’t allow me to do this or that, really…”

The girl kept complaining, looking at the thick smoke and dust in the distance, and the increasingly strong tremors on the ground. She did not show any nervousness about these.

"The artillery attack of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire is too conspicuous. Even if my father is on the other side of the town, he will definitely be able to see it... Then, let's use 'that'..."

The girl muttered to herself as she grabbed the bandage on her forehead and slowly untied it...

"---roar!!"

Suddenly, with a loud roar, a row of trees in front collapsed.

Behind it appeared a giant tank-class Honkai beast that was over ten meters tall. Its hind limbs were severely degenerated, and its heavy forelimbs shone with a metallic luster.

"No wonder it's so loud, it turns out to be a special type..."

...Alloy Tank-class Honkai Beast.

The girl muttered to herself, her expression slightly moved. But she did not stop moving her hands, and with a little force, she completely removed the bandage wrapped around her right eye...

Under the bandage, the right eye shining with golden light slowly opened. The girl raised her head and looked indifferently at the alloy tank-level Honkai beast in front of her. A cruel smile appeared in her eyes, and she slowly raised one hand.

Following her movements, three dark golden crystal spears suddenly appeared in the empty sky. The shining spear tips slightly adjusted with the girl's thoughts and aimed at the huge Honkai beast...

090 Minor changes >>

The north gate of the town...

The silver-haired man stood in front of the heavy steel door with a serious expression, gazing into the distance at the forest.

After Siegfried dealt with the Honkai beasts that attacked from the south, he returned to their home, walked through the entire town, and came to the north gate at the other end of the settlement, waiting for the return of a certain girl.

After a long time, when he finally saw a gradually enlarging dot appear on the horizon, the man smiled with relief and raised his hand towards that direction.

"Hey! Kiana..."

At this moment, the petite figure in the distance seemed to hear the man's

He shouted, then quickened his pace and trotted towards the town covered in golden sunlight.

"Dad, I'm back!"

The girl didn't stop and threw herself into her father's arms. She closed her eyes and felt the warmth of his embrace. As a result, the desire for destruction that filled her heart when she used that power disappeared.

"You're not hurt, are you? Kiana."

Hearing Siegfried's somewhat worried voice, Kiana smiled gently, raised her head, and looked at Siegfried with pride.

"Of course I'm fine, Dad. This isn't my first time fighting alone. Besides, it was just a charge-level Honkai beast. Isn't it a piece of cake for me?"

Hearing Kiana's confident voice, Siegfried was slightly stunned and also laughed.

"Haha... You really are worthy of being my daughter! I knew you wouldn't let me down. Okay, let's go home."

"Ok!"

Siegfried held the girl's hand and walked towards the town behind them...

Although Siegfried had a fleeting feeling of foreboding, he was used to this kind of thing. It had been so long, and nothing had happened, so it must be his illusion...

·————————————·

"Mr. Siegfried, you're back..."

"Hello~ Mr. Siegfried!"

……

After returning to the town, whenever the residents on the road saw Siegfried, they would greet him warmly, and Siegfried would smile and respond to them. This happened almost all the time along the way.

Kiana followed Siegfried silently, walking side by side with him. Sometimes, some enthusiastic residents would come over with a smile and gently touch her head. Although Kiana didn't like it very much, she didn't think it mattered.

"Siegfried..."

"Ah~ Mr. Village Chief, it's been a long time since we last met..."

Seeing an old figure coming towards him, Siegfried stopped and started chatting with the old man.

"Thank you very much for all this time... Mr. Siegfried."

"These things are nothing. I want to thank you for taking us in for so long..."

When Siegfried stopped to talk to the village chief, Kiana stood quietly by and waited. Suddenly, her eyes moved, and she turned around slightly, and saw a few children standing behind her. One of the little girls had her hands frozen in mid-air, and from her movements, it seemed that she wanted to grab her braid.

Kiana's expression fell, and she looked at the bewildered little girl with some helplessness.
