Playful! Collapse!

"But......"

At this time, Amber listened to Otto's words and said a little embarrassedly.

"Lady Theresa nearly betrayed the Skyward Headquarters back then. If she were to meet Siegfried and the Herrscher of Reason who might be there, she wouldn't be using her full strength, even if she were to fight."

"Ah, I certainly don't need my granddaughter to do things she doesn't like."

At this moment, Otto spoke words of doting, but a chilling sneer appeared on his face.

"But this is how the world is. If she doesn't do it, there are plenty of people who will."

"I've been keeping an eye on that Valkyrie for a while now. Now, after receiving this information..."

"—I think he'll do something that satisfies me."

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

At the edge of Changkong City, Yuan Yan, who was about to leave Changkong City...

——It was not surprising to find that the radar was missing again.

"Oh, it's really difficult."

Looking at the road in the suburbs, Yuan Yan always felt that he was having a headache.

Before entrusting him to take his daughter away from here, Raiden Ryoma said that someone would come to deal with the trouble with Mei.

As for the person on Anti-Entropy's side who could deal with the Conquest Gem, it seemed that the only one who was constantly vomiting blood was Walter Young himself.

Walter Young is not a bad person, he can even be considered a hero.

It was precisely because of this that Yuan Yan felt even more worried about this situation.

Walter is not a bad person, and it can even be said that his moral bottom line is a bit weird.

A few years ago in this world, Walter was deceived by Ryusuke Murata, the father of his student Himeko Murata, and almost died at the hands of that villain.

Walter, who killed the other party in self-defense, did nothing wrong in this incident, but he still felt guilty because he had lied to a child under the pretext of kindness.

In Yuan Yan's eyes, people with too high moral standards cannot be chess players.

Even if we don't consider other aspects of his abilities, no matter how hard Walter tries in this dire situation, he will only be used as a chess piece by Otto, the chess player.

When he thought of this, he felt that Fu Hua behind him didn't seem so friendly anymore.

If the collapse occurs, Fu Hua will definitely fight against it at the first moment.

But if the collapse had not occurred, Fu Hua would definitely have worked honestly for Otto for the sake of the alliance between her and Otto.

After all, she and Walter are essentially similar.

As I said, people with too high moral standards cannot be chess players.

If Fu Hua fights with Walter, Otto will still be the winner.

How should I put it? This is quite consistent with Otto's style of action: [making trouble when there is nothing to do, and squatting in the toilet to disgust people when there is something to do].

But Yuan Yan is now one of the unlucky guys in this world, so he definitely won't be able to laugh when encountering this kind of thing.

Moreover, although from a normal perspective, when the hostile organization has come to the door, most people will choose to ignore their own internal conflicts and attack the other side first.

But Cocolia is not an ordinary person. Judging from his current state, Yuan Yan suspects that Cocolia has ambushed fifty Titans nearby, waiting for him to come into contact with Thunder Dragon Horse and then kill him.

"Eh?"

Kiana, who had been leaning on Yuan Yan's back and silently reciting the Sword Heart Sutra all the way, felt Yuan Yan suddenly brake and immediately reached for her weapon nervously.

"Is there an enemy?"

"Not now, but...it's hard to say in the future."

After a little thought, Yuan Yan started the locomotive again.

"Hold on tight, now we can only sprint forward."

PS: 4K, I didn’t finish writing it before 22:30 today, so the counter for owed updates is +1.

There is more to come, but it’s a little late. I still feel a little uncomfortable after coming back from the hospital today. I’ll take a break before writing.

Volume 1: Chapter 57. This world... is crazy!

Far East. Area near Changkong City

In the sky above the area near Changkong City, the battleship named Hyperion has arrived.

But at this moment, Theresa, on the bridge, was thinking about the letter she received yesterday and felt a little uneasy.

She had heard a little about what happened in Changkong City. After all, this time, the Tianming Headquarters directly intervened in the relevant events in Changkong City without issuing any orders to the Far East Branch.

Theresa, who "trusts" her grandfather very much, has not forgotten that the second collapse fourteen years ago was actually caused by her grandfather.

Even though she often felt like she had forgotten something, she still remembered what her colleague Patrick Highsmith had told her about the dark side of destiny before he died in battle fourteen years ago.

In order to conduct human experiments, Tianming recruits thousands of experimental subjects from all over the world every year.

Because most of them are orphans, no one cares about their life or death.

Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, who was born during the Second Collapse, was the experimental subject who was tortured to death by researchers in the Tower of Babylon.

To humans, she is undoubtedly a demon, having killed tens of millions of innocent people, caused the disintegration of countless countries, and even caused years of social unrest.

But the one who gave birth to this demon was the organization called Destiny, or in other words - if her grandfather hadn't wanted to conduct human experiments, Xilin would have been just a poor orphan and would never have become this hateful orphan.

Her grandfather was not a good person, and he had indirectly caused the Herrscher's Advent incident. If Theresa could still sit in the Far East branch and watch the show peacefully, then there must be something wrong with her brain.

At the same time, Theresa's adjutant, Wuliangta Jizi, had actually noticed that Theresa was a little uneasy.

Although she is trying hard to act calm and composed, everyone has known each other for so many years, and her acting skills can only fool the newly enrolled Valkyrie students.

Logically speaking, as Theresa's friend and deputy, Jizi should find a way to make the commander relax a little at this time.

But now, after seeing that information, she really has no mood to care about other people.

Just now, when she was debugging the Nexus system alone, she suddenly received a piece of information from Bishop Otto of Heaven's Destiny.

Wuliangta Jizi first joined Tianming because she learned about this organization when she was sorting out her father's belongings.

In order to know the cause of her father's death, the talented girl with a promising future at the time chose to give up the path she was supposed to take and worked hard to fulfill her destiny and become a Valkyrie.

After so many years, Ji Zi thought she had given up her obsession with pursuing the truth.

After all, she only underwent the transformation surgery at the age of 19. For this reason, her body's adaptability to Honkai energy is far less than that of an underage girl, Jiko, and her body has been severely eroded by Honkai energy.

According to the worst estimates, she may only have a few months to a few years to live.

In addition, eight years ago, her captain once told Ji Zi, who had just joined the Mandate of Heaven, that "Valkyries are people who bring light to the world and should not let obsession and hatred fill their hearts." Ji Zi, whose body was already in tatters and whose heart was healed by the captain, once thought that she had let go of her past obsession.

But now, after reading this confidential document, she realized that she was not as free and easy as she had imagined.

According to Otto's brief description in the document, Ryusuke Murata had betrayed his destiny and took the key to the Fourth God's Key to the sphere of influence of Anti-Entropy, which is where Jiko goes to school.

After that, Ryusuke Muliangta, who met with the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, died inexplicably.

So according to Otto's speculation, he strongly suspected that Ji Zi's father was silenced by the people from Anti-Entropy after he knew some secrets that he shouldn't know.

Of course, Jizi didn't intend to believe everything Otto said. After all, the time when she learned the news was too coincidental.

And at the end of the message, Otto also said that this was the result confirmed by the Sentient Intelligence personnel after the incident related to the Third Honkai. As the daughter of Ryusuke Murata, Himeko is qualified to know the truth of that year.

This confidential information, coupled with Otto's seemingly considerate explanation, seemed to be intended to stir up Jizi's inner hatred. If Jizi couldn't see that Otto was planning to do something, then she had gone to college in vain.

However, no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that her father met with Walter, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, before his death.

Even though she kept telling herself to stay calm, it was impossible for Jizi to act like nothing had happened and keep a good attitude to ask Theresa "Did you forget to drink the bitter melon juice" to tease her and make Theresa feel a little better.

"Branch Chief!"

While both of them were thinking about their own things, the staff on the bridge suddenly shouted to Theresa.

"We've detected a Herrscher reaction!"

"Huh?! So fast?!"

"And this reaction...seems strange."

Looking at the numbers jumping on the display screen, the staff frowned slightly.

"It's strange...very strange."

"First, the Herrscher's reaction seems to be more than one."

???

!!!

Theresa and Jizi were shocked when they heard this.

Thoughts like 'How did my dad die' and 'Oh, I'm so annoyed, grandpa must be doing something bad again' have now completely disappeared from their minds.

They are Valkyries, warriors who fight against Honkai.

There's actually more than one top-tier Honkai Faction fighter in Changkong City?!

At this time, how could the two of them still have the mind to think about other things!

Thinking of the time when she faced Xilin alone fourteen years ago and was badly beaten by her on their first meeting, Theresa felt a cold sweat starting to appear on her body.

It's true that she has a Divine Grace Barrier, but the problem is that although the Divine Grace Barrier is naturally able to restrain the Herrscher, the prerequisite is that the opponent will give her the opportunity to deploy the barrier in close range.

Xilin is a poor orphan with a low level of education. Only after she gained powerful powers and was a little extravagant was she given the opportunity to deploy the barrier.

But if the Herrscher born this time is a little smarter than Sirin and has strong enough long-range firepower...

It's difficult for her to open the barrier without getting close. If she doesn't open the barrier, the only way Hyperion can fight against the Herrscher is Jiko using Nexus to connect with Hyperion.

Jizi's physical condition is not good. If she continues to fight in this way that burns her life, Theresa suspects that even if Jizi can suppress the Herrscher, she may only have one breath left after the battle.

"But this situation is very strange."

Looking at the three light spots on the display, the staff member continued.

"These three points of light...are all in an unstable state."

"As for the locations, one is in Changkong City, and the other two are outside Changkong City. However, due to electromagnetic interference, we are unable to continue to detect further."

"I see—Judas!"

After calling out her 'friend's' name, Theresa spoke to Himeko beside her.

"Jizi, the command of the scene is now handed over to you."

"Hey, Theresa, come back here!"

Seeing Theresa pulling the Key of God and preparing to run away, Jizi immediately shouted at Theresa.

"You are the branch chief!"

"Come on, you know my command ability is not good."

Theresa, who had already sprinted to the iron door of the bridge, turned around and spoke to Jizi in a hurried tone.

"The situation is urgent now, please contact grandpa."

"The battleship's weapons of mass destruction aren't suitable for use in the city, so I'll handle the Herrschers there."

"Those two in the suburbs..."

Jizi really wanted to pat her chest and say "Leave it to me", but as a commander, she was responsible for the lives of her subordinates. As a highly intelligent person, Jizi knew very well that it would be a miracle for the people on their ship to replace a Herrscher. Expecting them to deal with two Herrschers was a bit like wishing they would die on the spot.

"That's why I asked you to contact headquarters. Grandpa certainly has some bad intentions, but he certainly won't allow the Herrscher to be born."

"I'm leaving now. You can handle the rest on your own!"

Looking at Theresa who had already run away, Ji Zi held her forehead helplessly.

"Oh my god......"

"Um, Major Himeko..."

At this moment, the staff member who had just told the two of them the information suddenly looked extremely ugly.

"What are you nagging about? Speak!"

"Here's the thing."
