The girl's expression gradually became gloomy, and even Kiana became nervous.
"More than five months ago, a great collapse occurred in the world. At that time, the teacher was in Changkong City to protect us. She defeated one collapse beast after another. It took several hours for the storm to subside. Just when everyone was relieved, bad news came from afar - the teacher's island was completely sunk in the collapse."
Kiana pursed her lips during the Great Collapse 5 months ago. She knew who caused the Collapse. Her eyes were filled with guilt, and even her breathing became more rapid.
The awakening of the Herrscher of the Sky destroyed the dreams of countless people and destroyed the families of tens of millions.
Even though she had lost consciousness at that time, and even though the awakening of the Herrscher was caused by Otto, Kiana could not turn a blind eye to it. After all, it was a sin that could not be avoided.
"I still remember the teacher's appearance at that time. She had no expression on her face and remained silent, but she kept pacing, running, and rolling around in the room... until she finally couldn't help herself and cried loudly towards the end of the sea until her tears dried up, her voice became hoarse, and she stood up again."
"She made a vow facing the setting sun... No matter how much it costs, humanity will defeat the Honkai!!"
Listening to Xiaokong's description, Kiana could already fully imagine the teacher's collapse during the Great Honkai.
However, the culprit behind all this was Kiana herself. She wanted to comfort Xiaokong, but she couldn't open her mouth.
"Everyone here is a victim of the Honkai. We gather together and help each other survive." Delta had arrived here at some point, and it looked like he had been listening for a while.
After finishing the teacher's story, Xiaokong calmed down and said, "Sister Delta."
Although Rosalia is not necessarily older than the children, her personality has become quite calm after experiencing separation, and all the children are willing to call her sister.
"What about you? Is it the same for you, Delta?" Kiana asked.
Lifting her pink hair, letting a strand of blue hair fall, Delta jumped lightly and sat on the railing.
She turned her head and looked at the two of them. "I'm a little different. My sister and I grew up in an orphanage, and I was the most mischievous of the kids back then."
Sora: “I can’t tell at all.”
"After going through a lot of things, my sister and I almost died in the Great Collapse. Fortunately, a guy named Jackal conducted an experiment on us and injected the genes of the Honkai beast into our bodies, turning us into half-human, half-Honkai beast." As he spoke, Delta deliberately exerted a little of his power, and two sharp horns, one red and one blue, appeared on his head.
"See that blue horn? That should have belonged to my sister."
It was that great collapse again, and Kiana remained silent.
Sora: "Your sister..."
"I almost died once, but my sister sacrificed herself and reached an agreement with a guy named Qian Jue to transfer the genes of the Honkai beast to me, so that I could survive."
It was another tragedy, and the atmosphere became heavy for a moment.
"But fortunately, before they sent me here, they told me that my sister was still alive. I don't know if it's true or not, but the induction from the twins tells me that she must still be alive. Sooner or later, I will go back to find her."
"After all, we are twin sisters, a twin group preparing to debut as idols. How can we be without each other?" After sighing, Delta's voice became firm again. She looked at Kiana and raised her hand towards her, "So, don't give up. Sooner or later, you will find the person you want to see."
"Yes, I will." Under the setting sun, Kiana stretched out her hand and held Delta's.
Chapter 202 Urban Changes
Delta's experience made Kiana further realize the impact of the great collapse on people, but there was a word in the description that made her very concerned.
"Qian Jue? Have you ever come into contact with Qian Jue's people?"
"Well, at first it was a guy with green hair. He actually emerged from a shell, which scared me at the time. He said that he and I were of the same kind and could trade with me and lend me his power. At that time I thought he was just joking, but later when my sister was kidnapped by the bad guys, I agreed to his request."
"The feeling at that time was so strange, as if I was being controlled by someone, but I suddenly became very powerful, just like... just like now." As Delta spoke, he obviously remembered what happened later, and even his voice became much lower.
"After helping me, that guy disappeared. Later, I heard from my sisters that the weirdo died at the hands of a very powerful person. I thought the matter was over, but they still found me."
Recalling the crazy behavior of Qian Jue's group, Qiyana frowned and asked in confusion: "Did they forcibly capture you?"
But unlike what she expected, Delta just shook his head calmly, "No, they were originally planning to take me away, but then a very powerful monster appeared and almost tore me in half. I thought I was definitely dead, but my sister made a deal with them and saved me with her own life."
"After they took me away, I was kept in a mysterious place for training. At that time, I thought my sister was dead, so I fought desperately."
"The training was really hard. I was so tired every day that I couldn't move. Until one day, the teacher who had been training me told me that the training was enough, and then I was sent here."
Kiana: "Do you hate them for separating you from your sister?"
"The training was really painful at the beginning. I wanted to run away every day, but I got used to it slowly. And although the red-haired aunt was very strict in the training, she was really like a good teacher and taught me every detail. Sometimes she would tell me her own stories, but I always pretended that I didn't like it."
Recalling that dark time, a nostalgic look appeared on Delta's face. She did not notice the strange look in Kiana's eyes beside her.
"Once I find my sister, I will become more powerful than her, and I will definitely be able to defeat her..."
A red-haired female Kindred personnel... such a recognizable feature, there is no doubt that it is her.
There was a moment of trance in front of her eyes, and all the sounds gradually faded away. Kiana seemed to have returned to the ruins shrouded in gray fog, and the long sword in her hand pierced the woman's chest.
She looked down at her palms, and there seemed to be warm red blood flowing on her white fingertips.
"You're nothing but an emotionless monster!"
The woman's angry curse before her death echoed in her mind, and for a moment, Kiana felt cold all over.
"Sister Kiana, you look so ugly, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiaokong's voice pulled her back from the illusion, and the warm sunlight enveloped her again. Kiana looked at Delta, her voice dry as if filled with sand.
"sorry."
……
Kindred, what kind of organization is it?
Crazy? Paranoid? The image of that woman who did everything she could to avenge herself on humans regardless of the consequences was still imprinted in Kiana's mind.
That was the first time that Kiana felt the malice of others so directly, and the organization formed by these malice was called Qian Jue. They hated the world, despised the world, and wanted to destroy it all the time.
But for Delta, it was Kindred who saved her, and it was that woman who acted as her teacher and taught her to become more mature.
Is such an organization that brings hope to others really just a purely evil organization?
At this moment, Kiana, who had been determined, suddenly wavered.
Is what I do really just?
No one could answer her question. She had spent four months wandering to get out of the dark time of self-loathing, and a month reflecting on her position. Now, she needed more time to find a goal to support her progress.
……
While several people were talking, changes quietly took place in the West City District of Changkong City.
In the abandoned city, a Honkai beast that was wandering aimlessly suddenly raised its head, perceiving its surroundings with confusion. The next second, it suddenly roared, as if being driven by something, and rushed towards the East City District frantically.
When Otto was preparing for the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle observation experiment, the Honkai energy of the entire city began to fluctuate abnormally, causing the Honkai beasts in the city to become more and more active.
The Honkai Beast, which had already become violent, immediately began to flee after sensing the aura of the Judgment-level Honkai Beast that had landed in the West City District.
At the same time, the sea water that submerged the entire East City District began to rise, and the concentration of Honkai energy in the air also continued to increase.
"What's going on?" Delta's face changed, and he immediately jumped onto the electric pole he was specifically used for reconnaissance, looking down at the changes below.
Seawater is flowing back, and the collapse is growing. In the lowest part of the city, the concentration has reached the limit of collapse, and a large number of collapse beasts are being born.
If the nest had not been built at the highest point in the city, it would have been attacked by now.
"Xiao Kong, have you ever encountered this situation before?"
She recalled the sky full of Honkai beasts, the endless roars, and the exhausted figure of her teacher. Sora's lips trembled slightly, and she whispered, "This happened before, four months ago..."
The Great Collapse.
Subconsciously looking at her body, Kiana did not feel any signs of the Herrscher of the Void awakening, but since such a rare situation had occurred, there must be a collapse comparable to that of the Herrscher about to occur.
Is this the experiment of destiny that Su Jue mentioned?
But the time has not come yet.
In just a few minutes, a series of Honkai beasts appeared on the long wall that separated the east and west city areas.
Looking at the densely packed Honkai beasts on the wall, everyone living in the nest finally recalled the fear they once felt when they were dominated by Honkai.
"This level of quantity has completely exceeded the limit of normal collapse."
What worries everyone even more is that the number of Honkai beasts is constantly increasing and is now spreading towards the location of the nest.
The children living in the nest huddled together, comforting each other, "No, it's okay, they won't cross the safety line set up by the teacher..."
However, as soon as they finished speaking, a flying Honkai beast passed through the safe zone and attacked directly towards this side.
The Honkai beast reflected in their eyes grew bigger and bigger, and the children widened their eyes in horror.
One of the older boys reacted first and immediately pushed the younger one to a safe place, but when he wanted to escape himself, he no longer had any chance.
boom--
The Honkai beasts that came like sharp arrows seemed to have hit an invisible wall. Their entire bodies became twisted and they turned into pieces with a click and dissipated.
The boy looked up and saw Kiana standing in front of him.
"Hide quickly."
Chapter 203 Father and Daughter Reunited
Roar--
The tank-class Honkai beast roared, and its heavy claws tried to hit the pillars supporting the nest, but before it could land, its body stopped in mid-air. With a cracking sound, the solid arm armor shattered like porcelain, and instantly spread to the whole body.
A flash of light passed by, and Kiana landed smoothly.
She retracted the Sub-Sky Blade, ignored the gradually collapsing Honkai beast behind her, and immediately rushed to the next place.
Two hours have passed since the battle began, and the Honkai beasts are still pouring in.
Her breathing was a little disordered. Just when she was killing the Honkai beast, she felt weak in her hands. If she hadn't reacted quickly and dealt another blow, something would have happened.
He looked down at his arm and saw that the spider-web-like cracks almost covered his entire forearm.
The erosion of the Herrscher's core has entered its final stage. Even if more water drops are obtained, it will be of no use.
Her body was like a broken porcelain bowl, which should have fallen apart long ago. If Su Jue had not repaired it many times, the overflowing collapse energy would have seeped out along the cracks long ago. But now, even if Su Jue appeared again, it would not be able to alleviate it.
You can't use Honkai energy anymore, or you will die.
With this voice constantly echoing in her mind, Kiana raised her head and looked in the direction of the nest.
"I still can't stop here."
Exhaling a breath of foul air, Kiana looked at the sword in her hand and muttered to herself.
After the change, the sky that was originally sunny was gradually covered by dark clouds. Until now, the sky has become dim and gloomy, like ink that is about to drip.
Dazzling arcs of electricity flickered in the clouds, accompanied by the roar of thunder, and the dripping rain finally jumped down from the sky, soaking Kiana's clothes.
The raindrops hit the ground, noisy as if hundreds of people were arguing in her ears.
The rain was hazy, as if blocking her entire vision.
She jumped from a height in a trance. The moment she landed on the rooftop, her supporting right leg suddenly lost sensation. She staggered and fell heavily on the rooftop.
"Cough." Blood foam overflowed from the corners of her mouth and was washed away by the rain.
Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared above her head. Kiana turned around and saw the heavily falling Honkai beast less than a meter away from her.
boom--
Thunder suddenly roared in the sky, and red lightning tore through the sky.
Kiana, who was desperately waiting to withstand the attack of the Honkai beast, did not feel any harm. She put down her blocking arm, and a look of disbelief flashed in her blue eyes.
Amid the thunder, her long lavender hair fluttered in the cold wind.
……
Three days ago, Anti-Entropy Base.
Since the last attack, the entire Anti-Entropy has been in a state of decline. Although the two doctors are doing their best to make up for it, the injury of the leader still makes many people lose confidence.
The living area was silent late at night. Except for the lights on in the training base, the staff who had been busy all day had also fallen asleep.
No one noticed that a tall figure floated into the living area at some point. The dim light cast shadows on the wall and also illuminated the sharp long knife.
In the training room, Mei Raiden, who was so exhausted that she fell asleep on the chair, was unaware of anything until the blade was less than half a meter away from her neck. She was suddenly awakened from her dream.
"!"
She drew her sword suddenly, and the swift sword flashed a bright light under the light, intertwining with the other sword.
Seeing the figure opposite, Mei Raiden widened her eyes, her eyes filled with disbelief.
But before she could call out the opponent's name, the opponent's blade had already attacked. In a hurry, Mei Raiden could only block with the knife.
