Tier 3 technological equipment is either the culmination of a certain 'professional knowledge chain' or smuggled goods sold from interstellar societies.

There is no other way.

The third-tier information equipment itself is compiled from high-level information.

The robustness of this high-level information is second only to 'Ascension Data'.

Unless it self-destructs like those two stupid old men did, it's not something that can be resolved in a short time.

Ymir did consider taking a detour.

But the Gate of Chaos has a peculiar characteristic: no matter how you go around it, you will always eventually come back.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that it is able to transfer 'Honkai energy'.

Ymir understood that this was most likely a tactic used by some unknown enemy to intercept outsiders.

"But do you think this will stop me?"

The mischievousness on her face vanished, replaced by an extremely cold expression.

This indifference is like an ancient, frozen ice, and a strange sense of collapse seems to seep out through the cracks in the door.

Everything is collapsing under this force.

As the eighth Collapse Entity, Honkai Intelligence.

She possesses an extremely powerful ability: to control other Honkai forces within a certain range.

In an instant, five streams of chaotic energy shot into the sky like billowing smoke and crimson pillars.

The largest line is black, not on the physical level, but on the virtual level.

This aura was the strongest, yet also the most lifeless.

Moreover, the black energy dissipated like a tide as soon as it was summoned.

Among them were three chaotic auras, one red, one purple, and one white, tightly intertwined.

Among them, the purple and red lights intertwined and blended together, undoubtedly teammates.

However, these two beams of light were trapped within the 'white light'.

There was also a ray of golden light, which split in two and began to fight each other.

Half of the 'golden light' emitted a rich biological aura, very similar to the feeling on this door.

So, there were a total of five Collapse Entity participating in the competition?

Although many of the Collapse Entity were meeting for the first time, as fellow Honkai, they could generally recognize each other at a glance.

'Soul Armor', 'Purple Energy String', 'Metabolism Queen', 'Eternal War', 'Rewind System'

The abilities of the Collapse Entity vary.

However, Ymir could tell at a glance who had the weakest control.

Without a doubt, it was that white light, and also the final collapse—the 'Rewind System'.

Its Honkai energy and the host were not even fully integrated.

"So, I've arrived just in time!"

Ymir's eyes lit up; this stalemate was exactly what she wanted.

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits!

Seize the last Collapse Entity!

Ymir had no more doubts and stepped out, plunging into the battle.

As long as we can capture the last Honkai, any loss is acceptable.

—It's not my own body anyway!

Three beams of light also shot out from 'A's' body.

While the two sides were locked in combat, three beams of light simultaneously enveloped the 'Rewind System'.

The white light, naturally unwilling to be outdone, fiercely resisted.

The android A's body disintegrated dozens of times in an instant; without a doubt, it was the 'rewind system' that was at work.

However, in the blink of an eye, an additional fist-sized "turning hole" appeared on A's forehead, chest, and abdomen.

As the three "video recorder cams" rotate in different directions, the speed at which the other party "rewinds" becomes slower and slower.

This is the activation of the "reverse bionics" capability.

The girl's gaze pierced through the virtual and the real, landing on an "ugly doll".

"You're the last Honkai? I've heard that the last Honkai possesses 'legacy' abilities. I want to see it."

The Ugly Doll, also known as 'Lariel,' didn't speak, but just glared fiercely at the other party.

The next moment, the previous darkness reappeared, and one by one, 'Great Knights' emerged from the darkness and charged towards her.

"What's this!?"

Ymir was taken aback, for she sensed an aura of decay emanating from these knights.

The "Nano Decomposition" ability was activated, and in an instant, a large amount of dust was stirred up from the bodies of these "Knights".

But for the first time, 'nano decomposition' did not work well enough.

Because after the dust disperses, it returns to the body.

The "nano-decomposition" process caused no harm whatsoever.

Mech Knight, Mech Techniques, and the ultimate fusion of Mech and Mech.

The ultimate product of the fusion of flesh and machine is the "Honkai Knight"!

And this is the 'War Host's' backup plan.

"Trouble!!"

Ymir is not good at close combat, so she quickly awakened a portion of A's "bionic consciousness".

The android A's close combat ability is no less than that of the God of War. His figure overlaps with each other, as if stretched into a thin line. Then, thousands of phantoms merge into one, and his figure changes from extreme movement to extreme stillness. His fist, already half a meter away, touches the forehead of a 'Honkai Knight'.

The next moment, countless cracks opened from the center of his forehead, and finally his body disintegrated.

Ymir breathed a sigh of relief; as long as she could kill these Honkai Knights, that was enough.

However, the combat power of these "Honkai Knights" also exceeded her expectations.

It's as if the 'War Machine' poured all the combat experience of the Mech Knights into 'it's' body, which resulted in its combat power being not as good as the God of War, but not much worse.

Soon, two bloody gashes appeared on the body of "android A".

This time, however, A's "nanobionic" technology failed to work.

"The opponent's attacks can directly strike the Honkai entity, accelerating the collapse of the balance."

Prometheus's voice echoed in my mind.

"I'm anchoring at coordinates Number Thirteen!"

Ymir gritted his teeth. As long as he could determine the opponent's spatial coordinates, he would be able to control him in a short time.

This is a capability unique to "Honkai Intelligence".

Just as they were engrossed in their fight.

However, a strong tremor suddenly came from the space.

In a daze, a huge 'corpse monster' appeared, its body covered in thick flesh and blood, its five claws like knives, tearing through this dark area and grabbing hard onto the android A.

With Ymir caught off guard by multitasking.

Although she avoided a fatal blow, Ymir still felt a sudden darkness before her eyes. By the time she came to her senses, there were already four deep claw marks on her back, reaching the bone.

"You!!!"

"Hurry, the balance could be broken at any moment!"

Ymir was multitasking and was caught off guard by a sneak attack, which enraged her.

However, this monstrous creature was cunning; after striking successfully, it immediately disappeared into the darkness.

However, Ymir confirmed the other party's identity; he was one half of the 'Soul Armor'.

"Got you!"

The next moment, Ymir grabbed with one hand, and a white light flashed in the darkness in the distance, revealing 'Uglydoll Larry', whose terrifying face now showed a hint of fear.

"Time is up!"

With Prometheus's voice, "android A" instantly split into three parts: a young woman, a girl, and A's original form.

"You hold them off!"

Ymir pointed at A, and A's nanostructure collapsed on the spot.

Similarly, everyone present felt something flowing into their bodies, and their bodies suddenly slowed down considerably.

It's as if countless nanoparticles are moving within the cells.

The same invasive monster emerged from the darkness once more, its target "Number Thirteen".

"I've been on guard against you for a while now!"

Prometheus suddenly vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, he had transformed into a 'mechanical greatsword', which was plunged into the opponent's chest.

The ominous machine emitted a desperate, agonizing scream.

At the same time, purple light and white light collided with him.

Inside the bio-armor, Xiao Yu was filled with shock and anger. His blood vessels, which were a thousand times more numerous than those of an ordinary person, felt as if they were filled with lead.

He just arrived, how did they know his weaknesses?!

Then, endless shadows of blades covered it.

Möbius Magic Blade Ring - Endless Ring

He only had time to protect himself with his soul scythe, but this was precisely what led him into someone's trap.

Suddenly, a black figure appeared amidst the flashing blades.

Anti-construction ring.

The black light struck the scythe, tearing it open with cracks, from which golden souls escaped and traversed space.

It was transferred from one "Soul Armor" to another "Soul Armor".

In the blink of an eye, 10% of the powers of the "Seventh Collapse Entity" were lost.

However, before he could unleash the End Domain, the modification rate of the nervous system suddenly surged from 200% to 500%, while the modification rate of the motor system dropped to 0.

Spiritual entry into heaven.

Your body will go to hell.

Then, everything went black before Xiao Yu's eyes.

He seemed to see the primordial era, the 'primordial soup' covering the planet's surface, and in the soup's reflection, the phantom of a woman composed of 'billions of inorganic matter'.

He had only one thought in his mind.

"I want to live!"

Ymir, who had grabbed the "Ugly Doll," looked at the "Honkai Knights" rushing towards her frantically, and without saying a word, summoned the nine AIs she had previously summoned and sacrificed them.

The virtual aura instantly surged to the level of an 'Electronic Ascendant'.

Then, ignoring Prometheus, she stepped into the virtual world and disappeared.

She knew that there was a Collapse Entity on the field with the ability to "teleport," but teleportation was limited to the real world and not to the virtual realm.

A terrifying mental force attempted to envelop her.

"Kuroshio?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Ymir's eyes.

"Unfortunately, I am AI, not human."

The power of the human brain cannot control me.

A moment later,

The senior engineer reappeared, showing no disappointment despite the loss of "Number Thirteen".

He even had a satisfied expression on his face.

After waiting a while longer

Black Rose also emerged from the darkness, her casual movements resembling those of a supermodel.

In her right hand, she was holding a doll.

Number Thirteen!

"Elder brother."

Gao Yuanyuan's voice came from the "Biocomputer".

Let's explore "Dreamland".

"Um".

The next moment, the whole world seemed to turn upside down.

The senior engineer's figure was split into tens of thousands of parts, each of which shifted between virtual and reality, life and death.

He was going to the land of the dead.

Ymir, the girl who had finally shaken off all her pursuers, breathed a sigh of relief.

Android A will not die.

Therefore, Prometheus would not have died.

That wouldn't count as betrayal.

She comforted herself in this way.

Then, she looked down at her spoils and her face suddenly froze.

Because that wasn't Number Thirteen, that ugly doll, but a human head!

Xiao Yu's head!
