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

Without the support of Congress, where did Kokolia get the money to do those little tricks? How could Kokolia, a newly emerged warlord, dare to challenge these anti-entropy princes directly at the Executor's Conference?

Now, all the blame has been put on Anti-Entropy, and Congress is now innocent.

"Okay, you came here just to get some news, didn't you?" Einstein opened his thermos cup and said calmly, "The leader had already set off for Saint Freya before you came here."

"No matter what, we must get the Herrscher's Core that appears this time!" The congressman said with both hands on the table, "Let Saint Freya betray her, but the Herrscher's Core must belong to us!"

"That's easy for you to say." Tesla sneered, "It's not you who did the work anyway."

"Anti-Entropy and the Congress are in the same boat. If we don't have a good life, how can you have an easy life?" The congressman gritted his teeth and said, "We are very dissatisfied with the speed of your reaction to this operation, but we are on the same front after all. This time, the recovery of the Herrscher core will not be done by you alone."

"Huh? What can you do?" Tesla raised his eyebrows.

"Decades ago, the Destiny was preparing to bombard New York with Honkai fission bombs, and we had them too." The congressman said coldly, "In order to fight against the Herrscher, it makes sense to take some extreme measures, right? The Far East has been bombed before anyway."

"Hey, that civilian..."

"Who cares about those incompetent people? Just blame them for being born humble and weak."

The expressions of Einstein and Tesla both darkened, they stared coldly at the congressman. The congressman who was so aggressive just now suddenly shuddered. It was not the first time that he and the Congress had quarreled with these two anti-entropy elders, but this time, he really felt that he would die in the next second.

After a while, Einstein spoke up, "We understand. Congress should follow its arrangements. As for Anti-Entropy, the Titan troops will always obey the leader's on-site command, and our headquarters will always receive data transmitted back from the scene for timely analysis."

The congressman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "It's good that you have this awareness. I will report to the Congress first. Remember, this time, we must get the Herrscher's Core!"

After saying this, the congressman left in a hurry.

Tesla stared at the direction the congressman left and said, "Chicken Coop Head, I now truly understand Joachim's idea. The current anti-entropy is simply beyond our control... It is no longer the anti-entropy that we built with dreams back then."

Einstein remained silent.

"So, Jiwotou, are you really going to follow what those guys say? That's a Honkai-energy fission bomb. Once it explodes in the Far East..."

"Dr. Tesla, do you think... the Honkai fission bomb launched by Congress, in addition to arousing international public opinion and making Ms. Theresa completely break with Anti-Entropy, has any other effect?" Einstein glanced at Tesla and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there are at least five Herrsers on Saint Freya's side now. Unless they are in a weak state, who would be afraid of the Honkai fission bomb? Besides, even if Congress launches the Honkai fission bomb, Destiny also has the means to intercept it..."

"That's right..." Tesla said with a headache, "What should we do next? We can't get rid of those guys for a while, and Otto is probably happy to see us in a mess."

"That depends on the outcome of the negotiations between Joachim and Otto," Einstein said with his eyes lowered.

Chapter 177 A Difficult Situation

Saint Freya.

"Damn...what is going on?" Wendy gritted her teeth. She could clearly feel that after Ophelia's body changed, the air in the entire Saint Freya seemed to become heavy and difficult to breathe. In addition, the Honkai energy in her body seemed to be out of control.

"Imaginary erosion, and it is more serious than the previous Taixu Mountain incident." Kiana said solemnly, "It seems that Ophelia has been coexisting with absurdism for too long, and the connection between them has almost reached an unbreakable level..."

"I can see it without you telling me, she has lost even the most basic human appearance..." Wendy stared at Ophelia, whose entire body seemed to have turned into a golden mechanical puppet. At first glance, she thought it was a virtual tree user's skeleton that appeared from somewhere.

At the same time, the entire Saint Freya was shrouded in a pale golden light, and the surfaces of some buildings began to be covered with a black imaginary shell.

Kiana glanced at Saint Freya at her feet and whispered, "Mei, Wendy, the Herrscher is targeting me now. Leave this to me. You must transfer the students who have not yet been transferred out of Saint Freya as quickly as possible. Move quickly, because time waits for no one."

Mei originally wanted to say something, but then she thought of the previous Taixu Mountain incident, and after biting her lip she chose to remain silent. Of course she wanted to fight with Kiana, but unfortunately... the current situation did not allow her to be willful.

Well... helping Kiana to clear out those Virtual Tree God Skeletons and Virtual Tree User Skeletons that might get in the way can also be considered helping Kiana.

"Kiana Kaslana--!" The golden imaginary energy was gathered into a huge sickle in Ophelia's hands, and swung towards Kiana. In the process, the rock law authority attached to the sickle caused the surrounding space to distort.

Kiana simply raised the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire in her hand, and the flame that passed like a meteor instantly shattered the sickle in the hands of the Herrscher, and after shattering the sickle, it continued to pierce the shoulder of the Herrscher. The terrifying power of the Key of Destruction formed an extremely terrifying gap in her body.

But unlike ordinary creatures being hit, most of Ophelia's shoulder was destroyed by the shot of the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, but no blood was shed. It would be better to say that the damaged part was like a damaged mechanism, no different from the shells of other virtual tree skeletons.

With just this one shot, Kiana determined the extent to which Ophelia had coexisted with absurdism. To put it bluntly, Ophelia... would probably be the first Herrscher she had ever killed with her own hands.

No, now rather than saying that Ophelia has become the Herrscher of the Stone, it would be better to say that Ophelia has probably become the absurdism itself that has appeared this time.

Even when she had determined that Ophelia and absurdism were in a symbiotic state, she had made corresponding psychological preparations, and now, she had only made up her mind to let go of the hesitation in her heart.

If there was anything else that made her doubtful, it was why Absurdism, which was supposed to be in opposition to "Cocoon", chose to coexist with a Herrscher who was granted authority by "Cocoon", or... in the battle between Absurdism and "Cocoon", has "Cocoon" already seized control of Absurdism? No, if that was the case, Feng would not sit idly by and watch this happen...

So... could it be that after becoming a Herrscher, Ophelia betrayed the initiative of "Cocoon" and established a symbiotic relationship with Absurdism? After all, judging from Ophelia's performance before and after she broke her disguise, she did try her best to suppress her desire for destruction, mainly focusing on Anti-Entropy.

Of course, all the attention is on me now.

"Ha... You really are worthy of being the niece that Principal Theresa values... After not seeing you for a while, you really proved the saying in Shenzhou, 'A man should be treated with new eyes after three days of separation.'" Ophelia glanced sideways at her body that was destroyed by the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, and her tone did not sound surprised. "But if you just think you can kill me here like this, you are too naive!"

As Ophelia's voice fell, several other monsters with imaginary shells that looked almost exactly like Ophelia appeared around Kiana and surrounded her.

Kiana's expression never changed. Everything was the same as she had judged. Now it seemed that the absurdism above her head was probably Ophelia's real body. The others were just puppets she had created by dividing her own authority and using the power of the Void Tree God's Skeleton.

If it was just dealing with Ophelia or absurdism, it would not be a difficult task for Kiana at the moment. What she was worried about was the damage that would be caused when defeating absurdism, and if the timing was not right, Ophelia might recreate the situation when Mu Continent sank.

If he launched the attack from the bottom up, he could reduce Saint Freya's losses, but it would make his purpose too obvious, so that Ophelia would notice it and then self-destruct before he could deliver the fatal blow...

You have to find an opportunity yourself.

Kiana thought so, then turned her head to avoid a wind blade that was coming towards her.

Well, in addition to Ophelia's own authority, the ability of absurdism itself to absorb the authority of other Herrschers within its range also allows Ophelia to create puppets similar to Pseudo-Herrschers.

This is a bit like the Thousand Herrscher that will appear later, but in terms of strength, the puppets created by Ophelia should be stronger than a single Thousand Herrscher. After all, combat is not the strong point of the Thousand Herrscher.

the other side.

"Honkai will change with the progress of civilization. The fusion of absurdism and Herrscher also shows this characteristic of Honkai from another perspective." Otto stood at the door of the cathedral and looked up at the absurdism that was like a fortress in the sky. He seemed to be talking to himself. "Although absurdism showed a strong purpose towards Kiana, but... the essential logic of its actions is to completely erase Honkai from the original world, even if... the result is that the original world will become an imaginary desert under the erosion of absurdism."

He looked at Kiana again, who was still able to cope with the attacks of several puppets with the strength of Pseudo-Herrscher in the air at the same time, with an ambiguous light flashing in his eyes.

"I hope you can bring me enough surprises, Herrscher who lives with absurdism. If you are defeated so easily, I will be very disappointed."

After shifting his gaze away from the battle in the sky, Otto shifted his gaze to the interior of St. Freya's Academy. Now the entire St. Freya was shrouded in the erosion of absurdism. Compared to the normal Honkai erosion, the erosion of imaginary energy, which is purer and more direct than Honkai energy, is more deadly. Even a Herrscher would feel uncomfortable in this space eroded by absurdism, let alone ordinary people.

As for Otto himself, he is of course protected by the Void Ten Thousand Treasury. The current erosion intensity of absurdism is not enough to threaten Otto.

At the same time, the Honkai energy in the entire area will be gradually replaced by imaginary energy. Although imaginary energy is essentially a purer form of Honkai energy, the outflow path of this imaginary energy has been intercepted by absurdism. In other words, the longer the battle drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Herrschers involved.

This time, the erosion of the authority of the Herrscher by absurdism is much stronger than before in Taixu Mountain.

Moreover, if he guessed correctly, when no one noticed, the Honkai energy inside Saint Freya had probably been mixed with imaginary energy a long time ago, and the result of doing so would be...

The evacuation point outside of Saint Freya.

"Amelia, your hand!"

A Valkyrie pointed at Amelia's hand and almost screamed, and her scream attracted the attention of others.

Amelia looked down at her hands. Her hands had been replaced by imaginary shells instead of the original human body.

While she and other Valkyries assisted in the evacuation of the remaining students and other personnel of Saint Freya, neither she nor anyone else noticed the changes that were quietly happening.

Almost the next moment after noticing this change, Amelia immediately reacted and said, "Where are Adelina and the others? Where are they?"

Although she didn't know what exactly happened, she felt that it should be related to Ophelia. In order to balance the increasingly intensified conflicts within Saint Freya, she had often contact with Ophelia, who was the leader of the conservative faction at the time. If these were linked to Ophelia, it would be easy to associate them with other people who had more contact with Ophelia.

The result was obviously not beyond Amelia's expectations. Other people who had more contact with Ophelia showed symptoms of their bodies being covered by imaginary shells. In addition to these people, some other combat Valkyries also had similar situations, but their situations were not particularly serious. Unlike Amelia, in addition to her hands, even one of her legs had been turned into an imaginary shell.

"Amelia, are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort?" a Valkyrie asked nervously.

At this time, golden lines different from those caused by ordinary Honkai energy erosion had appeared on Amelia's face. She clenched her hands, and except for the fact that she had no feeling, she did not feel any pain.

Just when everyone was at a loss as to what to do in the face of this sudden change, a flame shot up from the inside of Saint Freya and rose from the bottom. It passed through the huge body of absurdism, and the clouds above Saint Freya were torn apart. It seemed that the flame almost split the entire sky into two parts.

However, the absurdism that was swept by the flames remained intact after the flames passed, as if the blow that tore the sky apart had never hit it at all.

Seeing this scene, Wendy and the others who were still fighting in Saint Freya looked up at the sky with surprised expressions. The attack was obviously made by Kiana, but even they felt the scorching heat, but the absurdism remained intact?

Over the sky.

Seeing that her attack missed, Kiana's expression became serious. Because she still had the authority of the Herrscher of the Void, she realized that the attack had missed when it passed through Absurdism's body.

When the attack was about to fall on Absurdism's body, Absurdism transferred itself from the intrinsic world to the imaginary space. The principle was the same as the imaginary bodies used by himself and Feng when facing some attacks that were more difficult to avoid.

This also indirectly illustrates that the absurdism of this moment is unprecedentedly complete, and it is already possible to freely switch between the material form of the intrinsic world and the imaginary form of the intrinsic world.

No wonder I found Ophelia's flaw so easily. It turned out that she had been prepared for a long time and was not afraid of me finding an opportunity to attack her.

If it was just about the imaginary protection mechanism of absurdism, Kiana, who had the authority of the Herrscher of the Void, wouldn't have to worry too much. The problem was that if she used the authority of the Void to shake the sub-void to remove the imaginary protection mechanism of absurdism, Ophelia, who had already merged with absurdism, would definitely notice it and then self-destruct...

Wait a minute, if I remember correctly, Night Owl should have brought out the Yellow Spring Staff this time, right? According to the operating principle of the Yellow Spring Staff, if the Yellow Spring Staff is successfully launched, it can also play the role of removing the imaginary protection mechanism of absurdism... But how can I notify Night Owl? I am now being stared at by Ophelia's puppets and there is no way to get away.

Mei and the others... Before coming here this time, I told them about some of the World Serpent's actions in Saint Freya. They also know that Night Owl carried the Staff of Yellow Springs. I can only hope that Bronya can find the key point quickly, or that Night Owl can make the judgment and use the Staff of Yellow Springs.

And at this time, over there at Night Owl.

Just as Kiana thought, Night Owl, as an elite agent of World Serpent, after seeing Kiana's attack miss, although he didn't know the specific principle, he could roughly judge that it was related to the Herrscher. If it was related to the Herrscher, then he could use the Staff of Yellow Springs.

only……

It's not that he didn't want to set up the Staff of Hell to support Kiana, but... he was also surrounded by the skeletons of the Void Tree. The Herrscher of the Rock seemed to have a fixed position and knew the specific locations of all the living creatures inside Saint Freya clearly.

Although Ophelia did not actively harm other Saint Freya personnel except those related to Anti-Entropy, the problem was that Night Owl was not a Saint Freya person, right? He was naturally also among the targets besieged by the Void Tree Corpse. Even if he could deal with the current situation, after all, he was not the focus of attention, but in this way he would not be able to launch the Yellow Spring Staff.

Suddenly, a voice came from the communication headset, which was supposed to be unable to communicate due to the erosion of the absurdist world. After hearing the other party's words, Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became a little ugly.

If he did this... would he be killed by Ludwig afterwards?

But after only a moment's hesitation, he began to act.

I would rather die than have my friend die. I am just following orders. Black Abyss, who puts mission first, will understand.

Chapter 178 has come to an end

Outside of Saint Freya, the temporary base of the Valkyries of Destiny.

"...What did you say?! Amelia has become like this, and you still want her to go to Saint Freya to die?" Adelina said viciously while staring at the Night Owl that appeared in front of them.

Night Owl completely ignored her. He was only responsible for conveying Otto's words. The decision-making power... no, the decision-making power was not in Amelia's hands. This was basically equivalent to an order from Otto.

"Haven't you always wanted to return to Heaven's Fate? Now is the time for you to contribute to Heaven's Fate." Night Owl said in a light tone, "This is an order directly issued by the Bishop of Heaven's Fate."

"The order of the bishop..." Yulandel, who came to respond, frowned slightly, thinking of a certain Otto who was now inside Saint Freya, and immediately said, "If it comes to tolerance to imaginary pollution, I, as a S-level Valkyrie of destiny and a natural stigma awakener, should be more suitable for Amelia. What's more, Amelia's body is now severely polluted by imaginary numbers, and it is really not suitable for her to continue to carry out missions deep into dangerous areas."

"I understand your feelings, the most powerful Valkyrie of destiny." Night Owl turned his gaze to Youlandel, "I have no doubt about your ability, but it is a pity that this matter can only be carried out by Amelia because she has been contaminated by imaginary numbers."

"What exactly happened in there?" Yulandel frowned even more tightly. In her opinion, letting Amelia enter Saint Freya again was no different from sending her to death, and this order was given by Otto himself... Well, Otto was indeed a person who didn't care about sacrifice and only cared about achieving his own goals.

Amelia, who had been silent until now after hearing the order conveyed by Night Owl, said, "...Because outsiders will be monitored by the Herrscher immediately, then not only will the Staff of the Underworld not be able to successfully play its role, but it may also be taken away by the Herrscher and used against Kiana and the others?"

"That's true." Night Owl lifted the suitcase in his hand, "It was not easy for me to get out of Saint Freya. Before I got out, I was taken care of by those virtual tree skeletons."

"...It seems that I am indeed the most suitable executor." Amelia nodded. "I discovered long ago when we were in the academy that the targets of the Herrscher's attacks are almost never those of us who have more contact with her on a regular basis. This also creates an opportunity for us to rescue others in time. I am contaminated by the imaginary number, which can weaken the hostility of other virtual tree users to a certain extent. At the same time, I am not among the targets that the Herrscher focuses on monitoring."

And... she is a World Serpent agent and has already learned how to use the Yellow Springs Staff. Among the people present, no one else knows how to use the Yellow Springs Staff except her and Night Owl.

Now that time is running out and Night Owl cannot successfully carry out his original mission, this mission will have to fall on her.

Is it just the price...

Amelia glanced at her hands that had been contaminated by imaginary numbers.

It's probably just the death of one person.

"But this isn't completely safe, is it?"

Hearing this voice, Night Owl's nerves tensed up subconsciously. There was no other way, as he was the current focus of the Shaniyat family, and the owner of this voice... was Ludwig Shaniyat, the only one of the three Seraphs in [Black Abyss] who could be considered a human being, while the other two were not human beings in essence.

I didn't expect that he would come here too. According to Ye Xiao's own guess, Ludwig should not come here at this time.

"Does the Bishop have any other orders?" Ludwig said to Night Owl.

"This is the only instruction he asked me to convey, but he did say that others can act according to circumstances." Night Owl said, "After all, this plan is not completely safe. Once the purpose is discovered, the situation will become very bad."

"I understand." Ludwig nodded. "Then... I will also enter Saint Freya and try to attract as much firepower as possible as an outsider."

"Then I too..."

"Bianca, you stay." Ludwig looked at Yulandel and said, "Before I came here, Maria at the Sky Headquarters told me that Anti-Entropy seemed to have started to make some moves. And you are the captain of the Undying Blade. I need you to lead the remaining Valkyries to be vigilant against Anti-Entropy's actions and complete the siege of the Void Tree User and the Honkai Beast that came out of Saint Freya."

"Can……"

Yulandel really wanted to say that she usually didn't give orders in the Immortal Blade. Rita was always the one giving the orders, and she was only responsible for opening the towers without any opposition.

But Rita was not going to give her this chance: "Lord Ludwig is right. There is an old saying in Shenzhou that all eggs should not be put in one basket. Currently, the top fighters who have reached Saint Freya are only you and Lord Ludwig. If you and Lord Ludwig enter Saint Freya, then if something unexpected happens outside, it will be difficult to deal with. After all, we have not yet established a means to contact the people inside."

Yulandel pursed her lips and finally had no choice but to compromise.

Seeing that Youlandel had compromised, Ludwig turned his gaze to Amelia again: "Are you in the right condition to carry out this mission?"

Amelia moved her hands and said, "There is no major obstacle to movement. For now, apart from the changes in appearance, everything else is the same as before."

Ludwig retracted his gaze and said, "That's good. Let's start the mission without further ado. I will enter Saint Freya before you to attract the attention of the virtual tree user who is still wandering around. You will follow... Night Owl, have you found a suitable sniping location?"

Seeing that Ludwig mentioned himself, Night Owl was too lazy to waste time. Anyway, what happened next had nothing to do with him, and he didn't need to enter Saint Freya again. As for suitable sniping locations, Night Owl had naturally observed them in advance, so after asking for the map of Saint Freya, Night Owl circled a few places on it.
