Time in a collapsing world

"However, Sister Fei, there are also other types of books in the leisure room. You can browse them if you are bored."

"Ah."

Pado walked away quickly holding the dinner plate, while Teofel turned around and wanted to go back to the room. Although Li asked her to accompany Pado, seeing as how she could find things to do on her own... she didn't need herself anymore.

"..."

Stopping at the door of the leisure room, Theophel silently looked at the position of the bookshelf inside, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he stepped in.

Books... take a look at a few. A lot of human knowledge can be learned from them. Since Li really wants to become a human, she naturally learns more and finds more common languages.

……

"Ok?"

"Big brother?"

"Strange...I always feel like someone is thinking about me."

"Is it Alicia-san, or Sakura-san? Or Mebius-san? And..."

"Don't report it like all your treasures..."

Now Xi has arrived at the second location he is responsible for. The first location has been easily solved, and the highest level is only a tank.

As for this second place, Xi did not see the presence of a Honkai Beast, but there were huge footprints. Judging from the size, they should be at the warlord level or above, and they may be at the emperor level.

"Maybe he went somewhere else?"

Li guessed that he didn't feel the breath of other creatures nearby anyway.

"But I remember Sister Eden seemed to have said that the Honkai Beasts here seem to have a certain sense of territory and will not run away easily..."

"Perhaps they are expanding their territory?"

"Eh?"

"Go around again. If you don't find it, go to Eden. Aren't you worried about her?"

"That's right..."

"Then speed it up."

"Ah."

Xi followed Li's suggestion and turned around a second time, but found something that he had not found during the previous search.

Under the cover of soil and leaves under their feet, the two found a huge skeleton. Judging from the situation, it must have been dead for several months.

Xi made a rough estimate and discovered that the corpse was more than 20 meters high, and its shape did not look like the common Honkai Beast in the data, so it could be guessed that it was an emperor-level, but it was a pity that it was already dead.

"If it was alive, it would be quite powerful, but it was killed by something else?"

Honkaimon generally does not die naturally. After all, it is a silicon-based life form, which means that there are people on this island who are more powerful than it.

And if the information Eden checked is correct, then only the two places Eden is responsible for can have this ability...

"Eden may have won the jackpot..."

What Li thought of was also thought of by Xi. Without any delay, he set off immediately, his light body jumping quickly between trees to achieve the purpose of moving at high speed.

……

Eden did indeed hit the jackpot. At the last position, she looked up at the behemoth hovering above her head and took a few steps back unconsciously.

A white body as thick and long as a python is wrapped around the tree trunk, with countless slender legs rubbing against the bark of the tree. It has no mouthparts, just like a Honkaimon version of a millipede.

This is undoubtedly the emperor level!

Instead of looking into each other's eyes, Eden felt her own insignificance. The huge size difference made her so nervous that she temporarily forgot to launch an attack.

When Honkai Beast's head slowly approached, Eden finally reacted, raised the Key of the Ninth God that had been held in her hand, aimed at it, and activated it.

An unmatched gravity descended on the Honkai Beast that was clinging to the tree trunk. Even though it was huge, it was unable to resist this power belonging to the Herrscher.

———!

It made an indescribable cry and fell to the ground. At the same time, the powerful force broke all the entangled trees and smashed into one piece with itself.

Succeeded?

Sure enough, even the emperor-level Honkaimon can't withstand the power of the Ninth God's Key!

He was slightly relieved. Just when Eden was about to use [Voice], he suddenly realized that his throat seemed to be mute. Not only could he not pronounce any syllables, but he would also experience severe pain every time he wanted to speak.

Eden held his throat and backed away slowly, but he hit a hard object.

Eden quickly pulled away and looked back, seeing the white tail of the Honkai Beast protruding from the ground behind her, with several tentacles swinging irregularly, and purple powder emitting from it.

It's poison...

Eden suddenly realized that her throat was probably in trouble due to inhaling this powder.

But what if you understand this? Eden doesn't know how to detoxify or restore her throat to normal, and the temporary failure of her throat means that the only ability she has developed so far has been taken away.

Then use the God Key...

Although it is possible to try hand-to-hand combat with the physique of a fusion warrior, that is a method that Eden will only use when he is truly cornered.

Eden aimed the Key of the Ninth God behind him and activated it, applying gravity to Honkaimon's tail and the scattered powder.

boom---!

The tail was pressed to the ground, and even the purple powder fell to the ground at the same time, making it difficult to float up again.

Okay, let’s start killing directly.

Eden rubbed the surface of the Key of the Ninth God with his fingers, wanting to directly activate the rated power of the Key of the Ninth God, intending to destroy it in one go.

Although samples of Imperial-level Honkaimon are precious, when their lives are threatened, they can no longer be merciful.

Rumble————!

But before Eden could turn on the [switch], there was another violent vibration under his feet.

The next moment, Honkaimon's white body hidden under the ground suddenly tore apart the ground and whipped upwards. Eden had quickly jumped up to avoid it, but before it hit the ground in the air, Honkaimon began to whip for the second time.

"Well!"

Eden, who was unable to change direction, had no way to dodge this time. He was hit straight away and then flew into the dense forest and disappeared.

Roar---!

Honkaimon wanted to pursue it, but with its head and tail bound by gravity, it was powerless, so it had no choice but to let out an angry and helpless roar on the spot.

"I'm late?"

Another human voice came over. She stood on a branch that was not too thick, carrying a terrifying huge scythe. She first glanced at the Honkaimon's immobile head and tail, and then took another look. In the direction where Eden disappeared, his nervous mood eased slightly, "Fortunately, it's not too late."

———!

The Honkaimon let out a terrifying roar, but the human just glanced at it, threw the scythe over, and inserted the tip into the center of the head accurately.

"I'll kill you first."

Li also jumped down from the tree and stepped on the back of the scythe. The powerful force acted on it, completely breaking the carapace on the top of Honkaimon's head and sinking deeper into it.

Before Honkaimon let out a second howl, Li grabbed the handle of the scythe and ran around Honkaimon's head.

After just a few laps, Honkaimon's head was cut into pieces like a watermelon, and it completely lost its vital signs.
