Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

As a Herrscher, she naturally had the means to catch these insects. However, Gao Su didn't even glance at the insects, and brushed off the phosphorus powder that fell from her head due to the insect explosion:

"Why capture them? These insects are not worth researching or utilizing. We at Tianming also have this kind of biotechnology, and we stopped using it a long time ago."

"Composed of pure energy and matter, their purpose isn't to perpetuate their own species and genes, like ordinary creatures in nature, to produce biological activities. Their sole purpose is destruction."

"But do you think something like this, which is purely for destruction, can be compared to the Herrscher?"

Gao Su's question made Bronya stunned for a moment, while Mei looked towards the empty space not far away:

"Are there any more live signals coming out, Bronya?"

"temporarily unavailable."

Bronya glanced at the virtual screen on the Reinstalled Bunny. The previously agitated fluctuations had now calmed down.

"I just didn't expect that even with the intervention of the two Herrschers, the insect swarms nearly broke through the defenses constructed by all the troops of the Sky Mandate."

Bronya analyzed all the problems:

"The final self-destruction can only be described as the Zerg's final counterattack against us after they realized their offensive methods were ineffective."

At this time, Mei received a communication from Kiana:

"Kiana is preparing to rush into the cave."

Then she looked at Gao Su with concern:

"Is there really no problem?"

"No. Has the Hyperion come over?"

"It's still docked at Tianming Airport, undergoing repairs."

Of course, Bronya knew what Gao Su was thinking. The secret living area on the bottom floor of the Hyperion was built by Gao Su with great effort.

Although it is not as luxurious as the upper floating island, it is still high-end and comfortable enough.

The semi-embedded underground bathtub, designed to simulate a hot spring, is constantly filled with hot water of suitable temperature. On the other side:

"Captain...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Zerg's reinforcements are coming from all around, let's retreat! As long as there's life, there's hope!"

The Valkyrie swung a punch, repelling the attacking mechanical troops of the aliens. She retreated to the side of the captain of the Destiny team and said breathlessly, "Adam also wielded a giant sword and destroyed the mechanical monsters that rushed towards him. They were the creations of the Zerg! They were the evil spirits that hunted the Valkyrie!"

"Hold on a little longer, support for the Hollow Defense Line will be arriving soon. We can't lose this frontier position!"

The captain of Tianming waved the sword in his hand, cutting the mechas that rushed into the trench, and circled around. There was a flash of thunder in his eyes that had not been seen for a long time, and then several thunders fell from the sky, defeating the surrounding mechas.

"Wow! Captain! You're so handsome!"

Seeing the smooth and flowing operation of the captain of Tianming, a trace of admiration appeared in the eyes of the Valkyrie.

"Oh........I am so cold and sad. VIII......"

Hearing her words, the captain of Tianming curled his lips in disdain, summoned a few more thunders, plunging the surrounding monsters into deathly silence, and then looked at his teammates while panting.

"Valkyrie, you must know that the more powerful something is, the higher the price you have to pay to obtain it."

Things are different now. The Honkai energy in the Stigma of Thunder in her body can be used less. Although Honkai and Gao Su were sealed on the moon together, the Stigma was left in her body.

However, with the expansion and defense of the outer galaxies, the number of times the Herrschers guarding the Void Defense Line used the Holy Mark did not decrease, but gradually increased.

To this day, the captain of Tianming has very little Honkai energy stored in the stigmata in her body, and being able to condense these few bolts of lightning in this outer universe is her limit.

"Quick! Take this opportunity to clean up the battlefield and consolidate our defenses! Pack up all the debris that can be transported back to headquarters."

Tianming's team leader turned his head and gave orders to the team members beside him.

"Yes!"

The team members, including Adam and Valkyrie, all agreed and began to carry out the orders given by the captain of the destiny.

"Boom! Boom!"

But at this moment, a beam of true red light shot out, but this true red light beam seemed to be a signal of attack. The next moment, the true red light beam like a storm covered this line of defense.

"hateful!"

Tianming's team leader hurriedly opened the electromagnetic barrier to protect the team members inside the barrier. When the smoke dissipated, the object that launched the attack revealed its true appearance.

It was a six-legged chariot about seven or eight meters tall. The overall impression it gave was that of a giant ant wrapped in a shrimp-like shell. Its hemispherical head was buried in an ellipsoidal body, and its front end had two tentacled appendages.

"What kind of monsters are these?!"

Along with the captains of Tianming, the head of Tianming's research department on Earth, Bronya, and her deputies, the great scientists Einstein and Tesla, were also surprised. They were so frantically shocked that their six hands began typing on the keyboard.

"Can we use the Herrscher's power to analyze that monster, Bronya?"

The voice of Tianming's team leader came from the communicator.

"Bronya, give it a try, Sister Captain of Destiny!"

Blue light butterflies clung to the girl's body, transforming into new parts one by one and attaching themselves to Bronya's chest. A cerulean crystal silently announced that the principle of collapse had returned to the world, and the pupils transformed into golden gears, signaling the start of analysis.

As she was analyzing, she quickly recorded the information she had obtained by typing on the keyboard.

"Sister Tianming's captain..."

Before she finished her words, she lost contact with Tianming's team leader, because in front of Tianming's team leader, flashes of light burst out from the heads of the monsters.

The flaming spears were actually large-caliber laser cannons. With a focus exceeding the speed of light at 80,000 degrees, they could probably turn their fragile bodies into ashes in an instant.

However, before the flash was released, the captain of Tianming had already finished his action, and the electromagnetic barrier continued to unfold, blocking the attack.

"Quick! Get under their bodies and attack the joints of their legs!"

While the monsters were reloading, Tianming's team leader decisively gave the order to attack.

She leaped from the wall, brandishing her katana as she slashed at the monster. Following her movement, the Valkyries and Fate Knights guarding the wall followed suit, charging down and engaging the monster in close combat. .... Neighbor-Dream.II (-Nine) Lin Wu San! Yasaki①③...

Volume 1: Did We Really Defeat Honkai?: Chapter 84: Raven's Plan

They kept moving under the monster's belly, where it couldn't be attacked, and slashed with the sharp blades in their hands.

Eventually, the damage to their legs made it impossible for them to support their own weight, and the monster's huge body slowly fell down. Then the brave and fearless soldiers stabbed the sharp blades in their hands into the core of the monster's head.

After a loud bang, the monster that was comparable in size to the Honkai Beast created by God was destroyed on the spot.

However, the monsters that kept pouring in stabbed their six legs covered with thick armor into the monsters that had turned into wreckage. A bluish-white light enveloped them, and strange patterns appeared on the monsters' armor, followed by a faint magical light that enveloped the entire body.

Those weapons that could cut off the monster's legs were suddenly bounced off the surface of the armor. Although the fearless warriors continued to slash, they were still blocked by the faint white light.

The monster's exoskeleton armor has evolved to be able to repel the blades before they touch by covering the surface with a repulsive field. Casualties have begun to appear, and if this continues, the losses on the battlefield will increase further.

"Sla"

A series of hissing sounds, very much like the sound of insects breaking out of their cocoons, were heard, and it seemed as if something was breaking out of its cocoon behind those monsters.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

In order to avoid further futile casualties, Tianming's team leader decisively issued the order to retreat.

A creature covered in the same armor as Narakwala, with eight legs, three heads, and a body as fat as a queen ant.

A missile launcher equipped with ring-shaped weapons appeared from the torn armor that covered its body. It lit up, and countless battle rings were fired at the team members who were fleeing into the empty defense line.

"Get down! Get down quickly!"

The captain of Tianming swung his sword, creating an electromagnetic barrier for defense, and then the scorching flames instantly covered the heads of the captain of Tianming and others who were protected by the barrier.

In order to counter the simultaneous shooting of the battle ring, the captain of Destiny also released thunder. The two huge forces collided head-on, spreading violent destruction around and destroying those small mechanical monsters.

"Captain! Look! Those monsters!"

Suddenly, a scream from a team member attracted the attention of Tianming's team leader. Several small mechanical monsters that should have been destroyed were moving again.

Then, on the other side, another machine that was initially destroyed by the team members led by the captain of the destiny team was trying to stand up again in a scorched state.

"Self-repair...!? Can you revive from that state?!"

Tianming's team leader looked at the monster that stood up again and said in disbelief that this was even more unreasonable than the Honkai beasts she had fought before.

"Not only that! Sister Tianming's team leader, they are also changing the material of the damaged armor to enhance its resistance to vibration, impact, and electromagnetic fields."

"They're still analyzing your attack to find a countermeasure! By the way, Captain Sister Tianming, this monster has been named Strigoi after internal Tianming research!"

Bronya's voice rang in the ears of the captain of the Destiny team.

"Strigoi can analyze attacks from past enemies and transform into a form that can counter those attacks."

"Plus, through the communication network between the Strigoi, it seems that the information will be transmitted to other machines instantly."

"Even if one is knocked incapacitated, the others will already be resistant to the attack. And the damaged ones will repair themselves and return to the battlefield."

"So, there's no other way to deal with monsters like this except to use AOE to instantly destroy them, right?"

The captain of the Destiny squad, who had retreated to the defensive line, leaned against the wall and answered Bronya's words with a rhetorical question, panting.

"You can say that, but Sister Captain of Destiny, please give Bronya some time. They are mechanical products after all."

"Since they are mechanical products, they must be programmed to operate. As long as Bronya develops a virus to target them, all problems will be solved!"

"One more thing, Sister Captain Tianming, be careful of the Strigoi launching air strikes. According to my analysis, they are capable of flying!"

Bronya spoke solemnly to the captain of Tianming, and then began to type on the keyboard before she stood up, and began to analyze the data she had obtained. Time was urgent and she could not afford to relax at all!

"A little time..."

After hearing Bronya's words, the captain of Tianming fell silent and climbed up the defense line. In the distance, the monsters named Strigoi were reorganizing their formation.

The curved armor on the back of the Strigoi slowly opened, and its posture was reminiscent of a ladybug. Inside the armor was a cylindrical glider nozzle.

"Anti-aircraft fire in full swing, quick! Quick!"

Tianming's team leader hurriedly grabbed the communicator in his hand and gave urgent orders to the team members who were resting.

The Strigoi's nozzle emitted a blast of wind with a roar. It was not the graceful flight of a bird or a Benares, but a tough flight based on brute force.

"How long will the anti-aircraft fire last!?"

Seeing the beam of light gradually approaching her, the captain of Tianming asked hurriedly, but what answered her was a dragon's roar!

A giant red dragon rose into the sky from Qianyu Academy, sweeping through the surrounding insect swarms and destroying them all. This was the second wave of insect attacks they encountered after the previous explosion.

"Bronya, didn't you say there were no more fluctuations?!"

Mei looked at the reappearing swarm of insects with a serious expression, completely puzzled. Bronya's fingers tapped frantically on the azure virtual keyboard:

"That's right, but for some reason, that hollow fluctuation suddenly changed and gradually intensified!"

Bronya wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the captain who was observing the void.

"What are the next instructions?"

"Just follow the original plan. You and Mei will serve as the mobile force to support the areas where there are defensive loopholes, buying enough time for Kiana and the others to enter the hole."

Gao Su put his hand down. At this moment, Raven, who had been silent beside him, spoke:

"Would you like me to give it a try? Use pheromones to control a bug and go into the cave to take a look?"

Volume 1: Did We Really Defeat the Collapse?: Chapter 85: The Withered Flower Garden - Nineveh

"Can you control it?"

Looking at the pile of insect corpses over there due to Raven's failed control, Bronya was puzzled, and Mei patted Raven's shoulder awkwardly:

"Natasha, it's time to stop."

"I'm almost there! Just a little bit!"

Gao Su looked at the raven sharpening its claws with insects, put the communicator on his ear, and shook his head helplessly. Kiana was already preparing to lead the team down the cave:

"Bianca, I am the captain. Based on the information provided by Kiana's scan of the Hollow, I will command you to proceed to the Hollow."

Bianca, who had left Rita in Changkong City to lead the Destiny Force, also breathed a sigh of relief. With the captain's participation, exploring this empty unknown area would be much easier.

"Okay, I see. Kiana is still adjusting her body's ability to utilize the Herrscher's abilities..."

Soon, Kiana's voice interrupted their conversation:

"That's all right, Captain."

"Let's go."

After receiving Gao Su's order, Kiana, holding the Holy Maiden's flag, and Yulandel, led the Undying Blade team into the cave.
