Collapse, I save everything alone

Chapter 234 Herrscher of Ice

Coral Island.

The chestnut-haired girl was patrolling the streets as usual. Her steps were quite light, like a butterfly taking off.

Although her steps were light, what the girl was thinking at the moment was not easy.

A few months ago, the assassination attempt on the Bishop at the Mandate of Heaven headquarters had a huge impact on Mandate of Heaven.

First, her good friend, Bianca, became the temporary acting bishop of the destiny.

The death of Bishop Otto was considered by most Valkyries to be something worth remembering, and destiny had already held a grand funeral for him in Klosten.

But such a huge organization cannot be without a leader for a day, so Yulan Dell, who was originally the strongest S-class Valkyrie in the destiny, naturally took over the position of acting bishop.

However, unlike what many other Valkyries imagined, Yulandel did not retaliate against the entire Far East branch that attacked and killed the Bishop of Heaven's Mandate. Instead, it simply temporarily removed the Far East branch from the jurisdiction of Heaven's Mandate and issued a wanted order for a certain assassin.

——Just like fifty years ago, the North American branch of Anti-Entropy’s predecessor was eliminated.

Most of the Valkyries were angry and confused about this. After all, Bishop Otto had always been a wise and brave figure in everyone's mind.

And because of Shaniyat's identity, Anna also knew some inside information that others didn't know.

Among the three major families, some fanatics of Bishop Otto had protested against this matter, but they were all refuted by Youlandel one by one.

"Fighting the Honkai is the top priority right now. In addition, there are still many doubts about the death of Bishop Otto that need to be investigated, so let's put the handling of the Far East Branch on hold for now."

——This is the explanation given by Youlan Dell to those who have objections among the three major families.

Because of her status as acting bishop and her genuine power, the protesters could not get any further feedback and had to go back.

As for Anna herself, she just felt... a little confused.

Lady Theresa is the granddaughter of Bishop Otto. Why would she take the lead in rebelling against destiny?

Moreover, she later received news from Wendy who rushed to the headquarters of Savior, that the real murderer of Otto was none other than... Mingyu.

She knew Mingyu's character very well. He would not assassinate the Archbishop of Tianming for no reason.

There must be some secrets that no one knows about.

Now Mingyu’s wanted order has been issued to all branches of Tianming, but no trace of him has been found in several months.

She was still quite worried about Mingyu.

"..."

The chestnut-haired girl stood still, took a deep breath, patted her face lightly, and said to herself:

"In short, just do your job well."

Today, she is also conscientiously fulfilling her mission of protecting the coral island.

She really likes this modern island. The Stairway to the Galaxy in the center of the main island that goes straight to the sky has always seemed very romantic to Anna.

Well...it would be nice if I could have the chance to go up there and take a walk with Mingyu.

Anna blushed when she realized that she was daydreaming again. She started walking again, quickening her pace and returning to the camp.

"I'm back~"

Anna stepped into the camp.

The other Valkyries of the Snow Lotus Squad were doing their own work. When they saw their captain coming back, they greeted him:

"Hello, Captain~"

"Captain, did you bring back the food?"

"Of course I brought it."

The chestnut-haired girl placed a bag of donuts she bought from the street on the table.

The girls came over with joy and gathered around the table to share the food.

This is the daily life of Team Xuelian. When they are not fighting against dangerous Honkai beasts, they are actually just ordinary girls.

"Oh, Captain Anna, there's something I've wanted to know for a long time. Can I ask you today?"

A girl wearing glasses raised her hand and asked tentatively.

"Well, you ask."

Anna nodded.

He is quite friendly to his teammates. After all, the age difference between them is not that big.

"That's right, the pendant on your neck, Captain Anna..."

The team member pointed at the pendant on Anna's chest and asked curiously:

"It doesn't look complete. Shouldn't its original shape be like this?"

The blue crystal pendant on the girl's chest was indeed quite eye-catching, because only half of it was left, leaving half a heart shape.

Obviously, this should be a pair of pendants that can be combined, and when fully combined, they form a lovely heart shape.

Since Captain Anna is only wearing half of it on her body...who has the other half?

Adolescent girls are all very curious about this.

"Could it be that he gave it to his fiancé?"

"Could it be the person who came to the Oceania branch last time..."

"Yes, yes, is this something like a token of love?"

Anna's face turned red from being besieged. She said unhappily:

"You guys..."

As she spoke, her hand instinctively rested on her chest, gently stroking the pendant.

The other half of this pendant was given to Mingyu by her at the end of Manila Collapse.

They agreed at that time that Mingyu would return it to her after he became mature enough.

The reason why she gave him half of the necklace at that time was actually because she wanted to use this agreement to motivate herself to grow.

However, now that I think about it, this behavior is indeed very much like...giving a token of love...

It’s better not to explain these things to the team members.

After some fighting, the chestnut-haired girl finally managed to control her team members and got them back to work.

She also came to the topographic map of the coral island and looked at the situation of the island.

Honkai energy detectors have been installed in various places on the Coral Island, which can detect the concentration of Honkai energy in real time. Once an abnormality occurs, she will immediately take her team members to deal with it.

When it comes to fighting the collapse, everyone is quite dedicated and responsible, so Coral Island has been safe and sound without any major crisis.

"...!"

At this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in the camp.

Anna looked at the coral island map that suddenly turned red and exclaimed:

"Is this... an alarm for a high concentration of Honkai energy explosion?!"

She had been stationed here for more than a year and had never seen an explosion of this level of Honkai energy.

But the girl knew very well what the consequences would be if this level of Honkai energy erupted.

——A devastating disaster like the Manila Collapse.

"Contact the Oceania branch and the Mandate of Heaven headquarters immediately, report the situation, and request reinforcements!"

Anna quickly made a reasonable judgment.

The current crisis is no longer something that the Snow Lotus team alone can handle. This level of collapse disaster... requires the support of the branch and the headquarters.

The girl in charge of communications quickly contacted the Oceania branch according to Anna's instructions.

Soon, she put down the communicator, turned around and said:

"Captain, we have successfully contacted the Oceania branch. As long as we can hold on until the reinforcements arrive, we will be able to..."

Her words stopped abruptly.

In front of her eyes, everyone's beloved Captain Anna was bending over in pain, her pretty face was distorted, and she was obviously in extreme pain.

"Well……!"

"Captain! Captain! What's wrong with you!"

The girl stepped forward with concern, trying to support her captain.

Anna pushed her away with her remaining sanity and said painfully:

"...Don't... come near me, go away!"

Only at this moment did the members of the Snow Lotus team notice that the Honkai energy value of their captain was already abnormally high.

This may only symbolize one thing -

Ice erupted in the Snow Lotus Squad’s camp.

..............................

When Anna barely regained consciousness, she was no longer in the Snow Lotus Team's camp.

This isn't a campsite... it's on the street...

The surrounding scenery has long been alienated and has become an extremely cold hell.

Everything, whether people or objects, has been covered with ice and snow, lifeless.

"Do not……"

Anna muttered to herself.

When did she come here?

How are everyone in the Snow Lotus Team doing?

The people of Coral Island...

Anna couldn't think any further, her brain began to ache.

——Something was fighting with her for control of her body.

She bent down in pain again and saw her skin which had turned dark blue.

Is this...is she?

Do not……

The girl finally remembered at this moment.

I'm afraid... she became the Herrscher.

"Uh...uh...!"

Anna's mind was in a mess.

She never thought that one day she would become a Herrscher.

Moreover, becoming a Herrscher... is such a painful thing.

Was everything around her, including those frozen people, caused by her?

A feeling of guilt surged over the girl's heart.

The Herrscher's will... her will... seemed to be becoming chaotic and disorganized.

The urge to destroy civilization and humanity continued to emerge out of nowhere in the girl's heart, eroding her mind and will.

The fact that she was able to temporarily regain her sanity after being chosen as a Herrscher was due to the Honkai resistance that her Shaniyat bloodline gave her.

Anna knew very well that if...if she continued to fight like this, she would probably lose herself in no time.

"..."

Anna raised her hand, and the ice crystals floating around her caught her attention.
