Collapse of the Three Thousand Laws, the beginning of the game abducted Kiana

Page 145

“Otto, you are a lunatic. You shouldn’t have involved so many people.”

Su Jue is not a new Herrscher. From the moment he became the Ruler, he has been consciously hiding himself and disguising his true character.

In fact, he never cared about the casualties of civilians. He would not actively cause the collapse, and naturally would not save people casually. He saved these people from the collapse just for Kiana.

He didn’t want the girl to continue crying, that’s all.

However, since Otto had a misunderstanding, Su Jue certainly didn’t mind deepening this wrong impression.

The game is actually very simple. Whoever has more information and can hide himself deeper will have more advantages.

“You care about these ordinary people? And you yourself, I’m afraid, are not the so-called Herrscher of Fire.” Facing Su Jue’s anger, Otto showed a meaningful smile. He revealed the [truth] he knew bit by bit, slowly breaking down Su Jue’s psychological defenses.

As if he was seen through, Su Jue’s expression tightened. He condensed a long sword in his hand again and put it directly against Otto’s neck with a cold look in his eyes.

“Shut up.”

The long sword pierced Otto’s skin, and blood like liquid soul steel flowed along the sword edge, reflected in Otto’s eyes.

“Oh, it seems I was right?” Su Jue’s performance confirmed Otto’s guess, and the smile on his face became more intense.

No matter how smart Su Jue is, he is still only 17 years old. Even though becoming a Herrscher has given him more power, the boy’s mentality is still difficult to make up for.

During these 500 years, Otto had seen too many gifted people, including some who claimed to be scheming, but most of them were not worthy of his attention. The only one who made him feel special was Walter Joyce from decades ago.

And in Su Jue, he seemed to see a familiar shadow again. If he was given enough time to grow, he would probably become another Joyce.

“Hmph, this has nothing to do with you.” With a light snort, Su Jue retracted the sword with a grim expression. The golden sword turned into a fine silk thread and finally sank into his wrist.

Is it the same mimicry ability as Xukong Wanzang?

Otto calmly noted down this small detail to infer Su Jue’s true power as a Herrscher. He remembered that the ability of the Herrscher of Reason was creation.

Will Su Jue be the new generation of Herrscher of Reason?

He did not jump to conclusions immediately, but Otto had come into contact with Joyce, and it was clear that the other party also paid more attention to humans, and the humanity that Su Jue unconsciously showed seemed to be somewhat consistent…

Even as the two were negotiating, the damage caused by the Herrscher of Meteoric Ice was spreading rapidly. As the auxiliary island was destroyed by the Herrscher’s attack, the main coral island in the central area was also crumbling.

The space elevator has collapsed, but the remaining debris still affects the stability of the island. The Ice Herrscher is suspended above the island, with the dark blue pointer pointing at the elevator base.

hum~

Along with a dull sound, the elevator base was actually penetrated directly, and a terrifying hole was torn out along with the entire island.

The overall structure was destroyed, and the already devastated coral island’s ground quickly cracked. Cracks several meters wide spread across the entire island like a spider web.

“Oops.”

The evacuation of residents has not been completed yet, and the cross-sea bridge connecting the base of the auxiliary island was directly torn by the cracks in the ground, completely cutting off the possibility of evacuation. Coupled with the erosion of low temperatures, the coral island has become a dead place.

The Ice Herrscher opened his arms, and the blue core on his chest emitted a dazzling light. A pale ice waterfall fell from the sky. Just this one blow was enough to wipe out the millions of civilians still staying on the coral island.

As a dual-power Herrscher, Meteoric Ice can not only create low temperatures, but also deeply imprint the terrain it transforms on the Earth. This should be the hottest equator on the planet. Once the Meteoric Ice Herrscher completes the destruction, I’m afraid Coral Island will become another Antarctica from now on.

“Am I going to die?” The civilians who still retained consciousness looked up at the ice waterfall falling from the sky, their hearts filled with deep despair.

Some of them are college graduates who have just graduated, some are researchers who have been deeply engaged in scientific research for decades, some are leaders who have reached the next level in their careers, and some are the most ordinary and common construction workers.

No matter who they are, in the face of absolute destruction, human power is so small and weak.

The Ladder to the Galaxy is not a plan of destiny, but a project formulated by the United Nations. Its purpose is to open up space and allow humans to develop further. It can be said that this is the limit of what humans can do without relying on Honkai energy.

But the Ladder to the Galaxy failed to lead to the starry sky, and was instead easily destroyed by the Ruler of the Stars. Now, the project that represents hope for mankind, along with the people who created it, will be submerged in this pale ice waterfall.

As the long darkness approaches, people pray for the appearance of the savior.

“Kiana…” Ji Zi, standing in the crowd, gripped the sword tightly and called the girl’s name softly.

In the dark sky, a ray of fire quietly lit up, and then spread rapidly, like a scarlet phoenix, crashing directly into the ice crystal waterfall.

331 Scored twice

The burning wings of the firebird swept across the glacier and plunged into the icefall falling from the sky. The high temperature instantly collided with the ice crystals, emitting countless clouds of mist.

The brilliant flames illuminated the sky and dispelled the endless darkness. Su Jue stood within the Divine Grace barrier, his light grey eyes filled with gleaming flames.

The boy said nothing, but subconsciously clenched his fists.

Su Jue, who had been paying attention to Kiana, naturally knew that even though the girl’s body was more adaptable to Honkai energy than a normal Herrscher, the continuous battles had already exhausted her physical strength.

The original plan was to guide the Ice Law against the Star Law. As long as the control of the Honkai Will was broken, the incident on Coral Island would be completely over. Even if the Valkyrie Squad of Destiny rushed to the battlefield, with Su Jue present, Kiana would not need to take action. She could rest well and digest the Fire Power she had mastered in these battles.

But the appearance of the Meteoric Ice Herr still disrupted the plan. The battle between Star Law and Ice Law was not long, leaving Kiana with very little time to rest. Moreover, the strength of the Meteoric Ice Herr far exceeded that of Ice Star, and was simply not something Kiana could contend with now.

Forcibly squeezing her own potential and madly overdrawing her own limits is likely to leave irreversible damage to Kiana’s body.

He retracted his gaze and fell on Otto, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

“Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Otherwise, I don’t mind sending the Destiny Headquarters into the imaginary space to experience the annihilation power of the imaginary space.”

Otto put away the smile on his face. Having witnessed Su Jue tear open a spatial rift, he knew that the other party could indeed do it. And just like his feelings for Kallen, Kiana was also an untouchable reverse scale for Su Jue.

He could feel that Su Jue was different from the rebellious Ruler of Reason after all.

Faced with a disaster in which millions of people died, Su Jue would be angry and worried, but judging from the room he left for negotiation, the other party’s rescue of civilians was more out of responsibility and did not reach the point of sacrificing themselves.

Just like Otto developed the Destiny organization himself to fight against the Honkai, but if Destiny must be destroyed in order to revive Kallen, he will destroy Destiny with his own hands without hesitation.

Now that Kiana has joined the battle, it means that Su Jue has really touched his bottom line. Otto is very clear about this feeling, so he didn’t say anything nonsense and directly explained his plan.

“The Herrscher cores do not have the ability to devour each other, because no Herrscher’s body can withstand the erosion of two Herrscher powers at the same time. But there is an exception, that is the former second Herrscher, Xilin, whose body once fused with multiple Herrscher gems.

Since you know Kiana’s identity as the Herrscher of the Sky, you should also be aware of her background.

After the Second Herrscher was destroyed, I conducted a cloning experiment to try to understand why she could withstand multiple gems. Of course, the experiment was not successful, but I finally completed the experiment of the Herrscher of the Void.

This new Herrscher is the dual-power Herrscher I tried to fuse using the technology I had accumulated at that time—let’s call it the Herrscher of Meteoric Ice.”

Otto explained the origin of the Ice Herrscher and added, “But Kiana’s situation is special. A single biological individual still cannot contain excess power.”

The huge Ice Herrscher in the sky was constantly creating ice waterfalls, but he could not extinguish the burning flame in Kiana’s hand.

“Therefore, the Herrscher of Meteoric Ice cannot be considered a true Herrscher. She has no soul, and only such a huge body can support the burden of dual powers. I used her as a deal with the gods to build a bridge between myself and Honkai, so that I could come into contact with the spiritual realm of Honkai.

I don’t know His specific existence, but as a Herr-Bearer, you must be clear about His nature.”

Su Jue listened to Otto’s story quietly and said, “The will of collapse.”

“So that’s how it is. Honkai also has will. This is the essence of God…” Otto thought for a moment and continued to say to Su Jue: “If I’m not mistaken, the arrival of Honkai God also requires a suitable carrier.”

He looked at Su Jue meaningfully. The other party rushed to Coral Island in advance and planned for such a long time. The purpose must be the two Herrscher cores that were accidentally born. The reason why the Herrscher snatched the Herrscher core was also easy to understand. The core could provide double the Honkai energy, which could greatly enhance Su Jue’s strength.

But Void Ten Thousand Treasures is very special, it can vaguely sense the existence of the Honkai Will. If Su Jue was just an ordinary Herrscher, Otto would not find it strange, but he is not, so Otto boldly guessed that Su Jue’s real purpose is likely to test the Honkai Will.

Negotiations work like this, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since Su Jue dares to plot against the Honkai Will, it means that Otto himself has something to negotiate with.

“The advent of Honkai requires a carrier, but the Herrscher of Meteoric Ice is not a complete Herrscher, and there is no space to accommodate the consciousness of the God of Honkai. Without a carrier, He will return to Honkai again. If there is a body that meets all the requirements for His advent…”

Su Jue frowned slightly, feeling surprised at Otto’s madness.

“That’s right. I will use this body of mine as a carrier to temporarily contain the Honkai Will, so that my own will can contact the gods and seek the answers I want. And I have contained a micro-nuclear bomb equivalent to 50,000 tons of TNT in this body. Even if I am occupied, you can trigger it through special means.”

It has to be said that Otto is really brave. He wanted to lure the Honkai Will into killing him. Not only did he achieve his goal of asking the Honkai God questions, but he also killed him after asking the questions, letting Su Jue kill him and the Honkai Will together.

By then, even if the Honkai Will found out that something was wrong, it would be too late, because Otto knew that Su Jue was not just a Herrscher and would not let go of this opportunity. As long as the Honkai Will was eliminated, Su Jue could obtain a huge amount of Honkai Energy, and in this way, the deal between Otto and him would be concluded.

But are things really that simple?

“Aren’t you afraid that not only will you not get what you wanted, but your self-consciousness will be overwhelmed by the Honkai Impact? Human consciousness cannot resist the Honkai Impact.”

Otto shook his head and exhaled, “This is a necessary price. If we can’t do this, how can we reverse the cycle of life and death?”

“I hope so.” Su Jue did not comment. Otto’s target from the beginning to the end was only Karen. He knew the direction of the story very well, but this did not mean that Su Jue would allow the other party to touch his own interests and plans.

Otto had ruined his plans two or three times in a row, and Su Jue would definitely retaliate, but it seemed that the other party’s plan was indeed in Su Jue’s favor. Whether Otto was eroded by Honkai or Honkai’s will was trapped by Otto, Su Jue would benefit.

Pure Honkai energy is meaningless to Su Jue who has the Domination Theater, but for Kiana, it is the last piece of the puzzle to fill in the fire.

The Divine Grace barrier isolates the Honkai and prevents the Honkai will from spying on it.

Su Jue closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his grey pupils had turned into brilliant gold. Countless cracks appeared all over the barrier, and then it shattered with a loud bang.

After returning to liquid form, Void Wanzang mimicked the last divine key, Yu Duchen, and quietly returned to Otto’s hands. The blond man opened his arms elegantly, like a devout believer.

In an instant, Su Jue’s figure swept across the space and grabbed Otto’s neck with one hand.

Click.

The soul steel body made a crisp cracking sound, and the light in Otto’s emerald eyes gradually faded.

But with his death, the vast Honkai energy in the air seemed to have found a perfect container and madly poured into Soul Steel’s body.

When the energy wave disappeared, Su Jue felt a familiar sense of being watched.

332 The Will of Immortality

The will of Honkai is not a single individual, but a cluster of wills composed of multiple parallel worlds. They are highly unified but can operate independently. It is like a subset of a server, monitoring different worlds.

The Will of Collapse in the Original World is no exception, the only difference is that the Will of Collapse in the Original World once noticed Su Jue, and launched a close surveillance, and even tried to imitate Su Jue’s behavioral logic.

Su Jue, who realized this, planned a fake death plan. With the help of Kiana’s imaginary renormalization ability, he cut off her connection with the cluster. Finally, with the light of Taixu Sword God, he destroyed her alive in the Pacific Ocean.

But Honkai will not die, and the Honkai Will will not disappear. The Honkai cluster that detected the disappearance of the subset of the original world directly read the file and copied a new Honkai Will, which is the existence that has descended now.

It is no different from other parts of the cluster, except that Su Jue took advantage of his own death during the [Power Down] period to delete his own Herrscher information from the Honkai server and escape the surveillance of the Honkai Will. Therefore, the Honkai Will after loading the file does not actually recognize Su Jue.

The Will of Honkai possesses powerful computing and thinking abilities, but it is ultimately an existence that operates based on certain rules. It has its own operating logic and does not have human emotions.

Therefore, even though Su Jue gave it a very strange feeling, and even detected the aura of a Herrscher in Su Jue’s body, since there was no record of it in the cluster server, it could only assume that he was a ‘wild’ Herrscher.

Otto was within Honkai’s monitoring range from beginning to end, and his goals and the actions he took to achieve them were recorded in detail in the database.

Otto tried to communicate with the will of Honkai, and for this purpose he not only created the Herrscher of the Meteoric Ice, but also used his own Soul Steel body as a carrier to accomplish the goal of bringing about Honkai.

This falls within the scope of normal transactions in the logical judgment of the Honkai Will.

Just as the Will of Honkai descended through Otto’s body, the emerald green eyes met a pair of golden eyes that outlined the rebellious world tree.

Before the Honkai Will could retrieve Su Jue’s information from the database, he felt a terrifying force coming from the fingers pinching his neck.

puff.

After the Soul Steel’s bones broke, Su Jue’s fingers directly embedded into the flesh and grabbed the neck of the Collapse Will. Su Jue took a deep breath, clenched his left fist to accumulate strength, and then punched the heart of the Soul Steel’s body.

“Cun Jin, open the sky!”

The terrifying force penetrated Otto’s body and spread the impact behind him. Even the air was squeezed, forming a sonic boom.

The attack was successful. Before the Honkai Will could counterattack, Su Jue’s eyes flashed with golden light, and the space around him suddenly stagnated. With the sound of shattering glass, Su Jue and the Honkai Will collapsed along with the entire space and fell into the imaginary space.

With three super-sized Herrschers at the same time, Coral Island is simply unable to withstand the impact caused by the collision of Honkai energy, and Su Jue must pull the Honkai Will into the imaginary space.

In the imaginary space, as soon as Su Jue’s figure appeared, the seeds of nothingness cruising in the void began to move, but before these small fish could materialize, the energy emitted from the two people directly evaporated them.

Two figures fell from the sky and finally stopped when they touched the wreckage of a building that came from nowhere.

The imaginary space is the home of Honkai, but it is also Su Jue’s home. In addition to the amplification of the Domination Theater, the original body under the Imaginary Tree completely offsets the suppression of the Herrscher by the Honkai will.

The body of the Honkai Will was blasted by Su Jue into the boundless stone bricks, and cracks spread horizontally for nearly a kilometer. In the terrifying deep pit, Otto’s soul steel body had long lost its human form and looked like a rag doll.

But Su Jue didn’t even blink, and took advantage of his illness to kill him. Su Jue, who was always cautious, didn’t want to give Honkai’s will a chance to recover, so he went straight to finish him off.

With one hand in the air, countless transparent threads spread out from the void and entangled the tattered body in the deep pit. The dense veins were like a net in the sky and the earth, and like the delicate patterns on leaves, drowning the will of collapse.

The overlapping attacks will cover the Honkai Will, and the control threads can absorb Honkai energy and suppress the opponent’s recovery ability. Once captured, even Kiana in her prime cannot break free.

But even so, Su Jue felt that it was not enough. Without hesitation, he constructed a lance similar to the Black Abyss and White Flower and threw it into the enemy’s position.

The lance pierced through the Honkai Will and nailed it to the ground.

Su Jue snapped his fingers lightly, and the lance instantly disintegrated inside Hun Gang’s body, transforming into fine, sharp threads that directly pierced the Honkai Will from the inside out, turning it into a hedgehog.

“…” Staring at the soul steel body that was destroyed by him, Su Jue felt no fluctuation in his heart.

This was the first time that Su Jue fought with all his strength without reservation. There was no need to worry about the imaginary space being destroyed, and no one would know his true strength. There was no need to worry about causing irreparable damage like fighting on Earth.

More importantly, he knew that the enemy he faced was not so easy to deal with.

As expected, Otto’s body, which had been completely destroyed by Su Jue and had lost its human form, began to melt and turned into gray-black liquid soul steel.

The dominating threads that were integrated into it were slowly expelled from the body. The network of dominating threads tried to suppress it, but the liquid soul steel passed directly through the gaps and reorganized again outside the blockade.

The reconstructed Honkai Will like a slime still retains the appearance of Otto, but without other colors, only the original gray-black color of Soul Steel.
