Even I got pulled in!
After realizing this, the Herrscher of Rock desperately activated her abilities, trying to escape the death countdown.
Unfortunately, his proud abilities were completely suppressed by Roland at this moment!
Roland looked up as the simulated black hole above him gradually took shape, and as light and darkness appeared simultaneously in the sky.
Then everything was swallowed up by the simulated black hole, and nothing could escape it, not even the Herrscher of Rock.
Under Roland's control, the pseudo-black hole began to shrink, and the surrounding forces also became increasingly concentrated.
The Herrscher of Rock will be crushed under this power. In the end, Roland will close the pseudo-black hole, take the core of the opponent, and obtain the opponent's corpse, which, although crushed, can still be preserved.
This battle was that simple.
But the Herrscher of Rock clearly didn't intend to let the battle end like that, so Roland saw that the Herrscher of Rock, who was squeezed to the point of being unable to move, began to compress Honkai energy at this moment!
As he did this, he seemed to be saying something.
His voice was muffled, and Roland could only make out his words by reading his lips.
"Hahahaha... So the Joker was actually me, no, the Joker has always been me..."
"This world is neither beautiful nor bright. So-called heroes only appear when they shouldn't—I never saw heroes when I was oppressed, but they appeared after I began to take revenge!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Destroy! Die, all of you!"
With these lip movements, the Herrscher of Rock, who had gathered a large amount of Honkai energy into her body, manipulated the two Herrscher Cores within her body and fully activated her power, causing the two Herrscher Cores to collide with each other!
He's going to blow himself up!
Seeing him like this, Roland narrowed his eyes.
He couldn't allow the other party to self-destruct in this place, so he decided to take drastic measures.
However, just as Roland was about to manipulate gravity to strangle his opponent, he noticed something erupting at the Anti-Entropy base.
So he stopped and even moved aside.
Then, the spiral workshop of Velvi opened the skylight, and the second divine key, Thousand Realms One Ride, which rose from it, had completed its aim. The third divine key, Purification Seven Thunders, also transformed into a huge cannon barrel. Terrifyingly low temperatures began to concentrate, and then the indicator lights on the cannon barrel also lit up from the end to the edge of the muzzle, as if pushing something out!
There was no roaring sound.
There were no traces of the shells flying out, nor any information about the trajectory or velocity of the shells.
The moment Prometheus aimed at the target and pressed the fire button, the Herrscher of Rock, who was already planning to self-destruct, was frozen in mid-air!
Roland knew that it was Vervie who had made the move, so he shut down the simulated black hole.
Most of the seawater that was pulled into the sky formed a salty rain, but the seawater around the Herrscher of Rock was frozen in the air, as if it had been transformed into a lifelike sculpture!
The terrifyingly low temperature killed everything in that area.
Even the atoms gradually stopped moving.
All life also returns to zero when the movement returns to zero.
Roland looked at the sculpture and slowly floated over.
Gravity was like an invisible hand, helping him insulate against the low temperature, pulling apart the seawater frozen in that position, and finally bringing him to the Herrscher of Rock, where he reached out his hand towards her chest.
As Roland moved, it was as if some kind of mechanical structure was triggered. The ice was peeled away, and two Herrscher cores slowly flew out and floated on his palm.
At this moment, the ninth and tenth Great Collapses came to an end.
Humanity has won another battle.
"However, it seems we can't revive the Herrschers this time... The form of the thousand Herrschers is special. Rather than reviving them, we should find a thousand and make them the thousand Herrschers bound to our Cocoon of the End."
"As for the Lawgiver of Rock..."
Roland stared at the ice sculpture frozen in mid-air.
As he took out the opponent's Herrscher core, nothing could withstand the low temperature anymore. The opponent's atoms completely stopped moving, and what happened in return was not solidification, but... dissipation!
Once all the atoms ceased to move, the lifelike ice sculpture turned into dust that reflected light, and the whole thing began to collapse, then was scattered across the world by the sea breeze.
"...That's it. There's no way to revive him without a body."
“We can’t let Velvet use the Fifth Divine Key during the next Great Collapse. The power of the Stasis Key is indeed great, but being hit by it is almost like turning a living being into a lifelike ice sculpture with even its internal structure carved out.”
"And such ice sculptures are only a short countdown; after the countdown ends, nothing will be left."
"That's a bit of a pity."
However, Roland only sighed. After all, the only loss after this result was a single enhancement point. He had already passed the novice stage, so there was no need to be so eager to pursue either lotteries or skill enhancements. Since this was the result, he could just accept it.
With this in mind, Roland took the two Herrscher Cores and flew back to the location of Anti-Entropy's headquarters.
The Great Collapse is over, and I've obtained two Herrscher Cores all at once.
The Western nations and the countries of Mu Continent have all been dealt with, and Alicia has also made her own decision.
If the next Herrscher appears in pairs, then after the tenth, the next Herrschers will be the eleventh Herrscher of Binding and the twelfth Herrscher of Erosion.
If the previous major collapses didn't cause any serious damage, then if we can get through this one too, then our final cocoon is just one step away from completion.
When the Herald of the End appears, that will be the time to end all of this!
.....corpse..
136. Sakura's trust in Roland
After Roland returned, he first made arrangements for the Herrscher Core, then talked to Velvi about the use of the Fifth Divine Key, and finally went to check on Alicia.
Alicia went to rescue people using the Second Divine Key.
Meanwhile, Aponia was organizing the rescued people and making arrangements for their future.
Roland glanced at the list of priority individuals and discovered that Alicia had saved some civilians and elites, but no one else had been saved.
In other words, while the people and some talents of the Western countries and the Mu Continent survived, their leaders and some troublemakers all died in this Great Collapse, and the remaining part is now under the management of Anti-Entropy.
Seeing this result, Roland smiled.
Even if Alicia were to rescue the high-ranking officials of the Western countries and the Mu Continent, Roland would respect her choice, point out the problems to her, and then teach her step by step how to handle them, thus giving her the initial experience of managing this world.
But Alicia's ability to make such a decision by considering the big picture saved Roland a lot of trouble.
after all
Although the Honkai world has gathered quite a few members of the God Group, when it comes to managing this world... Alicia is the most suitable.
Besides that, even if it's not mei, it's still not acceptable.
She and Aponia each have their own problems, and neither of them performs as consistently as Alicia.
The idea of parachuting in other god groups is troublesome in itself, not to mention that most people would be unwilling to take on the job of being the world's king in another world. In addition, this world needs to digest the Honkai after it has been destroyed and then enter a period of prosperity.
So after resolving the End, Roland has to go back to handle other matters, and it will probably take some time before the Honkai World is transformed into a Lostbelt.
This means that if Alicia is not up to the task during this period, Roland will have to let Mei and Aponia manage the affairs together, and he will come back to visit frequently afterward.
Roland was very pleased that Alicia was gradually learning to look at problems from a different perspective.
This shows that his teaching of Alicia was not in vain.
This also means that he can now delegate some of the power of anti-entropy to Alicia.
After this incident, the development of anti-entropy in the world became unimpeded.
During the previous Ninth Great Collapse, Anti-Entropy's actions were witnessed by the entire world. In addition, with the disappearance of the Mu Continent, people around the world have gradually accepted Anti-Entropy, which is above all else.
After all, Roland had made plans for each city from the very beginning of Anti-Entropy. So after the people accepted the existence of Anti-Entropy, they found that they still had to live, and that they were living more fairly than before.
After the Anti-Entropy Alliance selected representatives from the original regions of the Western countries, it successfully expanded the size of the alliance.
Today, the entire world has come under the banner of anti-entropy.
Cecilia was deeply moved by this, because it felt much the same as when she was a Valkyrie in Schicksal, which gave her even more motivation.
She was like that, and so were the others.
Therefore, thanks to the efforts of anti-entropy, although ordinary people have gradually come to understand what Honkai is, under the protection of anti-entropy, small and medium-sized Honkai attacks are unlikely to cause any casualties.
Several months passed in this way.
Then this stability was disrupted.
"These are the results collected by my latest Honkai energy detection device. Honkai energy has started to converge along a special wavelength again, so if nothing unexpected happens, another Herrscher will appear next."
Velvi brought this up at a high-level meeting of Anti-Entropy.
After Alicia began to grow up, Roland delegated much of the power of Anti-Entropy, and it was at that time that Anti-Entropy's high-level meeting was established.
The speaker is Roland, and the councilors are members of the God Group in the Honkai World. Anyone interested can participate.
Everyone happened to be available this time, so everyone was there.
"Just like last time, there are two wavelengths appearing this time, which means that two Herrschers will appear at once this time."
"One of them is in this area..."
As she spoke, Velvi operated the device connected to the virtual screen, circling a certain area on the world map.
