The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

It will take some time for absurdism to fully take shape. During this time, I need to acquire as much necessary information as possible and get rid of things that may get in the way, such as...

Kiana's eyes turned cold, she turned behind her with the Skyfire Greatsword in her hand and slashed horizontally. The flames of the Skyfire Holy Judgement then swept across the several virtual tree skeletons that appeared behind her.

"It seems that before the main course of absurdism, I have to deal with you, the appetizer." Kiana looked at the place where the virtual tree that was destroyed by her attack disappeared. A clock mark appeared on the ground there, and a large amount of imaginary energy began to spread outward from this center.

A mechanical-like creature with two masters holding a big sword appeared in it. When it appeared, the falling rain around it began to flow back.

The Void Tree God Skeleton·Nihilism is the most common type of Void Tree God Skeleton in the World Serpent's archives. However, in Feng's evaluation, it is a Void Tree God Skeleton that only possesses a tiny bit of insignificant final authority, and is the weakest type.

"So how strong is this weakest one compared to the Honkai beasts in the real world?" she asked.

Feng thought for a moment, then said, "Depending on the specific situation, the intensity of nihilism will change in different situations, but the lowest level... well, it's probably at the level of Benares."

The lowest level is trial level?

How should I put it? If the absurdism over there had not appeared, the nihilism that appeared now would indeed be oppressive enough, but once compared with the absurdism not far away, Kiana felt that this nihilism seemed just like that.

"Forget it, let me get rid of you first!" Kiana clenched the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire in both hands and rushed towards Nihilism.

Walter and others are here.

"What exactly is that..." Walter couldn't help but feel surprised when he looked at the huge absurdity in the distance. Is that the crisis that Changkong City will encounter next as Kiana said?

First, the core must be destroyed in order to completely kill the Void Tree Skeleton, otherwise it will regenerate infinitely, and that huge stone slab creation... perhaps it can be called the Void Tree God Skeleton.

Based on his own experience, Walter judged that the danger level of the absurdism appearing in the distance was definitely no less than that of the Second Herrscher born during the Second Great Collapse, and judging from the current situation, the absurdism had not yet fully formed. If it had been fully formed, it might have been at the level of the six-core Sirin in the late Second Great Collapse.

That would be a huge disaster for all mankind.

Is this the crisis that Kiana is dealing with? What is Lucifer thinking about?

“Tsk… Mr. Walter, that thing is not good…” Wendy frowned and said, “Just putting that thing there makes me feel uncomfortable, but… there seems to be something familiar in it.”

"Yes, I feel the same way." Walter whispered.

The purple core in the center of the huge stone slab that was glowing like a beating heart, what exactly was it...

Mei stared at the purple core in a daze. She felt that the voice calling her was getting stronger and stronger. That voice came from the huge stone slab.

It was calling to her, calling to her to retrieve her things.

"Mr. Walter, I want to give it a try." Mei said.

Walter and the others looked at Meiyi. When Walter heard Meiyi's words, he even suspected that he had heard it wrongly: "Meiyi, what did you just say?"

"I want to... give it a try." Mei said softly, "I heard it, it's calling me."

"That thing is calling you?!" Wendy couldn't help but say, "Hey, Mei-sister, are you sure? How could that thing..."

As if in response to Mei's words, suddenly there was a loud bang in the sky, and lightning struck the ground from the clouds, heralding the authority that existed here.

As if the thunder was the prelude, lightning continued to fall from the clouds with the stone slab as the center, and heavy rain also poured down at this moment.

For a moment, all the sounds in the world seemed to disappear at this moment, and the only thing ringing in everyone's ears was the thunder in the sky.

"Could that thing be related to the Herrscher of Thunder?" Walter murmured. It could make the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Wind feel familiar, and at the same time it could cause a thunderstorm in Changkong City. Apart from the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder, Walter could not think of any other possibility.

"Ji Zi, Tesla, can you analyze the results?" Walter immediately contacted Ji Zi and Tesla outside Changkong City, but the only response he got was a rustling sound. The thunderstorm caused by absurdism cut off all external electronic equipment in Changkong City.

"No, we can't get in touch with them. We must evacuate from Changkong City first!" Walter said. Safety is the top priority. He promised Theresa that he would bring Mei and the others back, so the safety of these three children is the top priority for him.

Mei just looked at the absurdism in the distance. She knew that the gap between her and Kiana was getting bigger and bigger, but what if she regained the power of the Herrscher of Thunder? She wanted to stand on the same level and on the same front with Kiana, instead of just hiding behind her and passively accepting protection.

She had to go.

Walter saw through Mei's intentions at the first moment, and he immediately understood that Mei had made up her mind, but no matter what, he would not let Mei take the risk, so...

Just as Walter was about to use his authority to forcibly take Mei away, Wendy suddenly said, "Mr. Walter!"

Walter looked around, and the collapse beasts and the virtual tree skeletons gradually appeared from all corners of Changkong City accompanied by thunder and surrounded them.

But fortunately, there weren't many of them, so he had enough energy to keep an eye on Mei while fighting these monsters. Wait, what's that...

A huge mechanical creature two people tall appeared from the crack in space as the imaginary pointer turned, and the giant sword in its hand reflected a cold light in the thunder.

"I didn't expect there would be two nihilists. This is quite interesting."

"So, Feng, you really plan to keep watching?"

"If they really can't handle it... okay, I'll help."

Chapter 105 Mei's Determination

"Hey, hey, hey, this situation is not what we expected..." Raven held the Seven Thunders of Purification in the form of a gun in his hand, and muttered as he looked at the tall Absurdism standing not far away. The second young lady of the Shaniyat family said that she and Night Owl should just do their own things, but she didn't tell her that such a thing would appear? !

Fortunately, due to the thunderstorm, the Jackal can't contact me now. If the Jackal sees this thing and asks me for it, I will really be helpless.

The night owl not far away looked at the place where the absurdism stood with a solemn expression. That thing looked difficult to deal with... But since his mission this time was just to help the raven capture Benares, he shouldn't get too involved in the matter over there. It's just... If that guy can appear once, will he appear a second time? Is this thing the main opponent of the Shanyat family in the future?

If that's the case, will Anna also have to face this kind of monster in the end?

He would have to find a way to find out what this thing is, but he couldn't do it himself. After all, he was now on the Shaniyat family's focus list. He had to find a way to let the Jackal know and let the Jackal do it. Based on his understanding of the Jackal, the Jackal would definitely be interested in this thing.

As for whether Raven would be implicated later, Night Owl didn't really care.

Raven would definitely not be able to deal with this thing anyway. Even if the Jackal said she wanted it, at most she would just annoy Raven. Although Raven was a famous mercenary in North America and a fusion warrior, he was as life-threatening as other mercenaries. He would definitely not accept a living Raven that was obviously no different from committing suicide, so the Jackal could only annoy Raven.

"I have to find a way to record the information of this thing first..." Night Owl thought, but while thinking, Night Owl did not stop setting up various devices around him and observing Benares's movements.

This is the most basic quality of a World Serpent agent with a code name. Without this ability, Night Owl cannot become a World Serpent cadre. In terms of martial arts, he is not as good as Raven, but when it comes to playing dirty, Raven cannot beat him. This is why Raven hates working with Night Owl, because she doesn't know when Night Owl will suddenly sell her out.

But because Night Owl was outstanding among the operational personnel and was also a cadre who had entered the paradise of the past world, Raven had no choice when necessary.

"Hmm? That's..." Night Owl suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking on the building next to him. Judging from her figure, it should be a girl, and she was moving towards the place where Absurdism was.

"It's not Kiana Kaslana... It doesn't look like she's from the Shanyat family either. Kiana Kaslana wouldn't let anyone from the Shanyat family rashly go to the place where that thing is to survey. What on earth is that..."

It is impossible for Night Owl not to know the information about the second young lady of the Shaniyat family. At least he knows more than Raven. From the previous incident in Sky City, it can be seen that the second young lady is the type who would rather be at the forefront and take all the risks herself than let others take risks.

Ha, if someone with half Shanyiat bloodline can be considered Shanyiat, then people like Otto should be considered outliers in the Shanyiat family, right?

Contact with Otto is also in Night Owl's plan, but at this stage, he does not have enough chips in his hand to impress Otto. He must know what Otto needs and he must have what Otto needs, only then can he get the opportunity to talk to Otto. It can't even be called a transaction.

After all, in terms of status, he is far from being qualified to trade with Otto.

the other side.

"Star of Eden!"

Walter simulated the Star of Eden and temporarily trapped Nihilism in the gravity field. Then, he released the simulated Star of Eden's zero rated power in another direction. Compared with the original body, the simulated Star of Eden was naturally not as powerful as the original body, and Walter's current body could not support him to simulate the zero rated power for a long time.

Under the pressure of the simulated black hole, the phantom created by Nihilism was crushed. Walter took a breath and then turned his gaze to Nihilism trapped by the simulated Star of Eden. The operation just now consumed a lot of his energy, so he couldn't suppress Nihilism any more. This allowed Nihilism to break free from the gravitational field released by the simulated Star of Eden and came in front of him, ready to chop it down with a sword.

At the critical moment, it was Wendy who used the power of the Herrscher of Wind to sweep him away with air currents, thus avoiding the sword of Nihilism.

Considering that the power of Nihilism far exceeds that of those miscellaneous Hollow Tree Users, Walter's original plan was to let Bronya and Mei clean up the nearby Hollow Tree Users, while Nihilism would be dealt with by him and Wendy, the two Herrschers.

But, should I say it was expected or unexpected?

Along with the attack of Nihilism, the skeletons of virtual trees continued to emerge from the surroundings. It began to become difficult to deal with those guys relying only on Mei and Bronya. As a last resort, Walter decided to let Wendy fight with Mei and the others, and he would face Nihilism himself.

result……

Mei still insisted on going to the place where absurdism was. When Walter was unable to take care of her, Mei found a way to attract the attention of the virtual tree skeletons and used her own mobility to lead most of the virtual tree skeletons away from the battlefield.

Both Bronya and Wendy wanted to chase after her, but on the one hand, Nihilism created a phantom that suppressed Walter, and on the other hand, Bronya really couldn't catch up with Mei. Wendy, who was able to catch up with Mei, had to help Walter deal with Nihilism's phantom, and also had to take care of the phantom tree user that Bronya had to deal with, so she had no way to chase after Mei.

Walter coughed and stared at Nihilism. It should be at the end of its strength at this moment, but his own condition might be worse than Nihilism. So he thought about whether his energy could help Bronya and Wendy open a way if he self-destructed at this moment. After all, as the second acting Herrscher, he could store his consciousness in the Herrscher core. If a body self-destructed, it would be self-destructed. It could be reconstructed after some time. He had experience in this regard.

He had promised Theresa that he would bring all three children back, so he had to find a way to do it.

Just as Walter was calculating how to use the self-destruction range to destroy Nihilism and the surrounding virtual tree skeletons, a flame fell from the sky like a meteor in the rainstorm, splitting Nihilism's body in half and directly killing this difficult enemy for Walter.

"Kiana..." Walter looked at the place where the destroyed Nihilism had originally stood. The white-haired girl replaced Nihilism, and then she swept back and annihilated the surrounding virtual tree corpses.

Just how strong is this child... She is much better than what I saw from her during her time at Saint Freya.

Walter was sure that before coming here, Kiana must have experienced a battle in which she was stronger than them, but Kiana even solved her problems before them and rushed here.

"Sorry, Mr. Walter, I'm a little late. Are you okay?" Kiana said, and at the same time turned her gaze to Bronya and Wendy who were still fighting with other virtual tree skeletons. It was only after she defeated the virtual tree skeleton that appeared on her side that she learned that a virtual tree skeleton also appeared on Walter's side. In addition, absurdism has not yet completely completed the manifestation of the original world, so she rushed over as soon as possible.

Kiana looked around before asking, "Mr. Walter, where is Mei?"

Walter was silent for a moment, then looked at Absurdism and said, "She... attracted the attention of the virtual tree and went over there."

"Over there?" Kiana looked towards the place where absurdism stood, and was silent for a while. She did not blame Walter for not keeping an eye on Mei. Regarding the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder in this place, Feng also said that Mei still has the qualifications to become the Herrscher of Thunder.

After all, she was also an Herrscher of Thunder who had not yet fully awakened.

"I understand. I'll be there right away. Can you deal with the remaining virtual tree skeletons here?" Kiana asked.

"Don't worry, if it's just the remaining skeletons of the virtual tree, there will be no problem." Walter said, "But, Kiana, you must be careful too."

Kiana nodded, and saw a sub-space gate appear behind her, and she walked straight in.

Walter watched the other party use the power of the Second Herrscher so skillfully, and suddenly wondered where the Second Herrscher was now? It seemed that he had not heard from him since he woke up briefly in the Battle of Destiny. Judging from the current situation, even if the consciousness of the Second Herrscher was still in Kiana's body, he was beaten by Kiana.

Kiana passed through the Gate of the Sky and came to the vicinity of Absurdism. She shifted her gaze to the other side and saw Mei running.

Was Mei called here by the remaining authority of the Herrscher of Thunder?

Doesn't she know it's dangerous here? I've warned her...why does she still want to take this risk?

Kiana stuck the Heavenly Fire Judge into the ground with one hand and stared at Mei who was about to reach her. To be honest, for Feng, or for this city, it didn't matter who obtained the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder. As long as the remaining authority here was taken away, the imaginary singularity would be closed and the collapse energy of this city would no longer continue to rise.

However, taking away the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder is not an easy task. Judging from the current situation, absurdism came into being with the help of the Herrscher of Thunder's authority. If you want to obtain the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder, you have to defeat absurdism.

That's why Feng let himself come here, because he believes and he himself believes that he has enough ability and confidence to gain the power here, and as for Mei... Feng is not optimistic about her, and he doesn't want Mei to take risks.

In addition, if I want to end the Honkai in the end and take back all the authority of the Herrscher, it is also something I have to do, if I can still maintain such a will after I become the End.

What's more, if something really happened to her, at least Feng would be there to back her up and protect her, but Mei didn't.

"Kiana..." Mei, who was already beginning to feel exhausted, looked at Kiana who was standing not far from her. The Skyfire Greatsword in her hand was still burning with an eternal flame even in the heavy rain.

"Come behind me, Mei." Kiana just said this.

Upon hearing this, Mei took a deep breath and ran towards Kiana at an accelerated speed. The moment she ran past Kiana, Kiana raised the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire in her hand and dealt a devastating blow to the virtual tree masters chasing her.

"call……"

Mei supported her knees with both hands, breathing heavily. She and Kiana turned their backs to each other. It seemed that after her breathing calmed down a little, Kiana spoke: "Mei, are you... coming here for the authority of the Herrscher of Thunder that remains here?"

"Eh?"

"Because you were once an unawakened Herrscher of Thunder, you can feel the remaining authority of the Herrscher of Thunder here. Yes, it's at the Absurdist not far from you." Kiana said, "But it's very dangerous."

"Isn't that dangerous for you? Kiana..."

"Maybe, but there is always someone behind me who will protect me and catch me at the last moment, but you don't, Mei." Kiana turned and looked at Mei, and Mei also turned and looked at Kiana.

The two girls just stared at each other in the heavy rain.

Is the person who protects Kiana behind her Lucifer? Ha, yes, Lucifer will protect her, but she can only accept Kiana's protection.

"I also want to... I can do something..." Mei whispered.

"But you don't have to force it."

"I know I'm just showing off, but... I don't want you to be the only one carrying the responsibility of saving the world. I also want to do something!" Mei looked into Kiana's eyes and said, "I'm just a student. I don't have the wisdom of Dr. Einstein and the others, nor the fighting power of Principal Theresa. All I have is the identity of the former Herrscher of Thunder..."

"But you don't have to take on that responsibility."

"But why do you have to bear all this, Kiana?!" Mei asked, "I also want to do something for you!"

"I just hope you can continue to live well..."

"Impossible!" Mei said, "Kiana, you saved me. If it weren't for you, Raiden Mei would have been conquered as a Herrscher and completely disappeared from this world. You gave me a new life, but I have never been able to do anything for you."

"..."

"No one will take what you do for granted!"

"..."

"So... at least this time, let me do something for you so that you don't have to bear it all alone."

Another thunder roared, and lightning illuminated the entire city.

Kiana did not speak, she just turned her gaze to the virtual tree skeletons that were once again pouring out around her. Absurdism was aware of the arrival of the two people who had seized its power, and it decided to take action after it had already appeared in the world.

"Kiana, do you still want to make the decision for me?" Mei asked again.

"No, I will not."

She made another decision.
