Playful! Collapse!

Listening to Yuan Yan's words, Maki asked back in surprise.

"Isn't this normal?"

"I suppose no one would cooperate with someone who tries to destroy a city and create a Herrscher, right?"

...Just forget it.

You worked with Otto and Cocolia in the original work, so why does it feel so strange when you say this to me now?

"As I just said, the person I intend to cooperate with is Anti-Entropy. Cocolia no longer represents Anti-Entropy, so she naturally cannot be the person I am trying to cooperate with."

"I don't know how true the information about the Herrscher of Thunder preventing the Third Collapse is, but... hey, I'm pretty sure that once I take action, Cocolia will reveal her location. That's enough."

"Under these circumstances, even if Cocolia gets the Serenity Gem, she won't be able to stir up any trouble, and..."

"After giving the Serenity Gem to Anti-Entropy, if you truly are a Herrscher capable of suppressing a large-scale Honkai Impact, then you will surely become even more powerful after obtaining the Serenity Gem, and be able to resolve the subsequent crises."

"Oh, thank you very much, but..."

After picking up the old man from the ground, Yuan Yan asked Maki calmly.

"Don't you understand how much harm Cocolia and Otto would have done if I hadn't come?"

"If you hadn't come, it would mean that the anti-entropy is only this level. Besides..."

At this moment, Maki glanced at the entrance to the basement and sneered.

"That Cocolia girl might really think I'm defenseless against her. Unfortunately, ever since I arrived here, I've already placed the Serenity Gem and tampered with the program in the reactor below."

"Once the Houkai energy reaches a certain level, the reactor will explode first. At that time, this woman will be the first to die."

"It's really watertight, but..."

After punching the old man directly against the wall, Yuan Yan said coldly.

"I don't like this kind of gambling operation that involves other innocent people, old man."

"Yeah, so..."

Maki slid down the wall and looked at the young man in front of him. He actually smiled when he was on the verge of death.

"I'm a bad guy anyway, so it's good for me to die."

"Be careful Otto, that man..."

Before the old man could finish his words, Yuan Yan saw Maki completely lose his life in front of him.

If I had to say, Yuan Yan had no other feelings right now, and his heart was filled with irritation.

From a personal perspective, the information sent by Dr. Maki is worthy of the description of "very useful" to Anti-Entropy and all of humanity.

In addition, his actions did objectively accelerate Cocolia's death. Even if he took the initiative to involve the people of this country, Yuan Yan should not be disgusted with his actions...bullshit.

He wouldn't think so, and Maki wouldn't whitewash herself like that.

After all, from the moment he saw this old man, Yuan Yan noticed that the old man had begun to turn into a deadly warrior.

Even if he hadn't thrown that punch, the opponent's death would only be a matter of time.

However, his punch, which was originally intended to vent his anger, actually accelerated the opponent's death and helped him to be relieved early.

This feeling of irritability caused a surge of malice in Yuan Yan's heart.

A malicious force even more terrifying than before.

Rushing directly to the entrance of the basement, Yuan Yan looked at the girl below who was being controlled by the Valkyrie system, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

He could understand Bronya's feelings and thoughts, but because of this, he gave the girl more than one chance to persuade her adoptive mother to surrender.

Now that the girl has even lost control of her body, it can only be said that this is the result of her own actions.

This ending was doomed from the moment she tried to persuade her stubborn adoptive mother to surrender.

Seeing the girl asking the mecha to point its weapon at herself, while the mecha awkwardly pointed its gun barrel at the area around it, Yuan Yan sneered.

"Ha, Cocolia, and the gray snake..."

"—It seems that even this mecha is much more sensible than you."

Facing Yuan Yan's ridicule, and having realized that there was no possibility of negotiation between him and the other party, Gray Snake directly protected Cocolia in front of him.

Then, when Cocolia was completely unprepared, the gray snake took out a syringe and stabbed it into Cocolia's body.

"Gray Snake, you—"

Cocolia, feeling that some changes had occurred in her body, tried to push the gray snake away with force.

But before that, the gray snake chose to self-destruct on the spot.

Following the cyborg's self-destruction, all Anti-Entropy members, including Cocolia, were directly injured by the other party's sudden action at this moment.

Yuan Yan, who was standing at the door, smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, and then used the corrosive force he had already released to manipulate the Anti-Entropy members, making them all step aside.

In fact, before meeting the gray snake, Yuan Yan had guessed the other party's actions.

In the original work, the gray snakes can use their bodies to transform into emperor-level Honkai beasts without saying a word. From this point of view, some gray snakes do not care whether they "die" or not.

It was precisely because of this that he released the corrosive power of the Herrscher of Corrosion the moment he appeared at the door, trying to corrode the Gray Snake and directly find out the details of the World Snake in this way.

As a result, he chose to self-destruct without hesitation.

This explosion was very thorough, and looking at the fragments of the brain chip on the ground, Yuan Yan suspected that the explosives buried in Gray Snake's body were most likely near his head.

At this moment, even though Bronya had lost control of her body, her visual system still allowed her to see the scene she least wanted to see.

Yuan Yan, who had already appeared here, drew out the Key of Thunder [Seven Thunders of Purification] from the void and slowly walked towards her adoptive mother behind her.

"don't want......"

"I've given you enough chances, my foolish sister."

Looking at the girl who was trying to grab his shoulders, Yuan Yan said very calmly.

"Also, take a good look at what Cocolia looks like now."

"You wouldn't want to continue obeying her even though she's like this, would you?"

When Bronya looked at her adoptive mother who was affected by the explosion, she was completely stunned.

The woman who was full of vigor and vitality just now has now lost her original appearance.

No, perhaps calling her a woman is no longer appropriate.

When Gray Snake realized that something was wrong, he injected Cocolia with an injection without hesitation. There was no doubt that it was the Honkai Beast transformation potion.

Under the effect of the potion, Cocolia has begun to change into the appearance of the emperor-level Honkai beast Ganesha.

At this moment, Bronya relied on the last bit of faith in her heart to barely take action while being controlled by the Valkyrie system.

But after seeing her mother turned into a Honkai beast, she felt her brain was completely numb.

However, although Cocolia's body has begun to change due to the power of the potion, her face still remains on Ganesha's head.

To be honest, it's disgusting.

But considering Cocolia's own actions, this disgusting image... is quite fitting.

“Yuan Yan…if it wasn’t you…if it wasn’t you!!!”

Cocolia roared, but at this moment, she actually used her hatred to suppress the instinctive impulse that should have dominated her body.

However, even though she has gained power far beyond what she had before, but...

——Compared with Yuan Yan, she is still too weak.

With the flash of the knife, Cocolia, who had just tried to charge, fell to the ground on the spot because his front limbs were cut off.

Looking at the woman in front of him with eyes full of hatred, Yuan Yan let out a breath.

"I'm very curious why you are staring at me with such an unwilling look."

"You seem to think that your plan will succeed without me... Ha, never mind, this is quite consistent with your personality."

After walking to the side of the Honkai Beast, Yuan Yan gently cut off Cocolia's hind legs and continued to speak to Cocolia.

"Perhaps I should thank Gray Snake. Thank him for making you much more resilient."

"Otherwise, when I struck the first blow, the Seven Sin-Cleansing Thunders would have disintegrated your body into atoms."

"Ha, ha ha - the Fourth Honkai Impact is about to break out. A half-baked Herrscher like you can't do anything!"

Listening to the woman's last words before her death, Yuan Yan felt extremely sad.

The original Cocolia was an officer full of justice, but after experiencing the second Honkai, although she firmly believed that she was fighting against Honkai, after that day, she had unknowingly changed her heart.

And now, after being transformed into a Honkai beast by the gray snake, Cocolia finally changed her thinking circuits into a mode based on "Honkai" at the moment before her death.

It really suits her fate, but...

This farce should end here.

At this moment, Yuan Yan looked at Cocolia who was struggling but unable to move because of the loss of her limbs, and raised the sword in his hand.

"It's time to say goodbye, fox girl."

"After you go to hell... Haha, with your personality, it's probably impossible for you to reflect on yourself."

At this moment, Yuan Yan suddenly felt that the energy intensity of the heavily armored rabbit not far away had increased a few points out of thin air.

"Oh? Could it be that..."

Yuan Yan discovered that the heavily armored bunny did not point his weapon at him, and at this moment he saw two lines of tears in Bronya's dazed eyes.

"don't want......"

Yuan Yan swore that he really did not do anything.

But now, looking at the heavily armored bunny aiming its gun at Cocolia, he wondered if the other party had been eroded by his corrosive power, causing it to make such an incomprehensible move.

At this moment, Cocolia, who had almost lost her mind, seemed to recall something.

She installed the Valkyrie system as a backdoor in Bronya's brain chip with the intention of protecting her.

As a system to protect girls, the Valkyrie system has the basic logic of detecting Honkai Beasts and launching an immediate attack.

Even now, Cocolia, the actual operator of the Valkyrie system, has become a Honkai beast, and the Heavy Armored Bunny will not show mercy.

As for why the reinstalled bunny took action now...

After watching the destructive beam of light hitting her head, Cocolia no longer had the chance to think about this problem.

At this last moment, Bronya tried hard to burn the chip in her brain.

But it was a step too late, and the attack of the heavily armored rabbit pierced Cocolia's face first.

Looking at Cocolia who was completely dead on the ground, Yuan Yan sneered and said to the people around him.

"Everyone, listen up. As the deputy leader of Anti-Entropy, I order you to take that brat and retreat from here."

"Don't even think about running away. Even if I don't have time to take care of you later, no one will choose to accept you given your current status as a street rat."

"Understood!"

After everyone at the scene felt that they had regained control of their bodies, they hurriedly took Bronya away as if they had been pardoned.

At the same time, Yuan Yan also walked to the deepest part of the basement and stretched out his hand, trying to grab the Quiet Gem in front of him.

Well, the concentration of Honkai energy hasn't reached the point where a major Honkai explosion would occur, so according to my estimation...

At the moment when Yuan Yan was about to touch the Serenity Gem with his hand, a terrible crack suddenly appeared on the wall in front of him.

And in the next moment, a gilded cross broke through the wall and smashed heavily towards the area where Yuan Yan was.

"Hmm... the Key of Constraint?!"

Yuan Yan grabbed the Serenity Gem and rolled over to avoid the enemy's attack. He looked at the golden cross in front of him with a look of shock.

"Theresa Apokalis, you—"

"Theresa is not here, respected Deputy Leader."

In the broken wall, Otto, who had been lying in ambush in another basement, smiled and snapped his fingers at Yuan Yan.

"This is our first meeting, and although I don't think I need to introduce myself, considering today is a special day, I think basic etiquette is still necessary."

"My humble name is Otto Apokalis, and I am currently serving as the Bishop of Heaven's Mandate."

"I have no other purpose for visiting today, but mainly for..."
