Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 155 5% Strength

The British Museum.

Since Jiang Ming and Rita arrived early, they had to wait outside the museum.

Fortunately, this didn't last long. Before Jiang Ming was about to get bored, a voice sounded from behind them.

"Sorry to have kept you two waiting."

A young girl with simple clothes and long dark brown hair came up to them and greeted them with a smile.

"I am the current director of the British Museum, Catherine. May I ask if you are the Valkyrie of Destiny?"

"Well, hello, you can just call me Rita. I believe you already know the purpose of my visit."

Catherine raised her glasses and took a quick look at the ID Rita presented, then turned her attention to Jiang Ming.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is my bodyguard, who is mainly responsible for protecting my safety. Can we go in?"

"Of course, Miss Rita, please follow me."

Catherine gracefully stepped aside to lead the way for the two men and introduced them to the British Museum.

........................

"The British Museum preserves historical and cultural treasures from all over the world, and the cultural relics you are applying to investigate belong to Britain's own history, but their value is no less than that of other exhibits."

Catherine brought the two of them to a stone slab at least three meters high that had a picture of the Knights of the Round Table on it.

"This is a Celtic scroll that was preserved to this day around the sixth century AD. It records an ancient history..."

[A young boy named Arthur successfully pulled out the sword in the stone with the help of the great wizard Merlin and became the king of Britain]

[After he ascended the throne, King Arthur founded the powerful Knights of the Round Table and swore an oath to jointly protect Britain]

[Under the efforts of the king and his knights, Britain drove away countless invaders and ushered in their own unity and strength]

[The story of King Arthur has been sung to this day and has become a household story among the English]

"So Miss Rita, is there any special message hidden in this mural?"

"It's a secret."

Rita, who didn't want to reveal too much, smiled knowingly at Catherine. Seeing this, Catherine's face was covered with sweat. She quickly waved her hands and explained.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I'm just academically curious."

Suddenly, Catherine seemed to have thought of something, and took two steps back to say goodbye to Rita.

"In that case, I won't bother you with your investigation, Miss Rita. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."

"Okay, thank you, Director."

After simply seeing Catherine off, Rita and Jiang Ming began to look at the stone slab in front of them again.

"Master Jiang Ming, did you find anything?"

"To be honest, I know very little about British history, but I do know a little about the origin of the Second God's Key."

Hearing this, Rita raised her eyebrows and motioned for Jiang Ming to continue. Jiang Ming closed his eyes and thought for a while before preparing to speak. But before that, the two suddenly felt as if there was something behind them, but when they turned around, they only found a cat.

"Who?!"

"Meow--"

"Cats? Why are there cats in this place?"

It happened so suddenly that Rita couldn't help but step back, but the cat slowly approached them.

Suddenly, the collar on the cat's neck emitted a red light, as if it had been injected with some medicine, and the next second a large amount of white smoke was released around it.

Puff——

After the smoke cleared, the cute cat, which was originally of normal size, suddenly became almost the size of an armored vehicle and pounced on Rita like a crushing force.

Fortunately, Jiang Ming had anticipated this and grabbed Rita's waist and teleported her behind the cat, so the attack naturally missed. However, the stone slab they were observing just now shattered into multiple pieces.

"Why would an ordinary cat turn into a Honkai beast?"

After Jiang Ming put the girl down in his arms, Rita frowned and stared at the cat-shaped Honkai beast in front of her with her beautiful eyes.

"It might be the collar around its neck. It seems like it was injected with something just now."

“Meow (Wow, you managed to dodge my attack).”

“Nyan (You two are both filled with the power of Honkai. It seems we are of the same kind. It is said that Valkyries have their own armor. Let me see your full strength).”

It seemed that it was because of the device on its body that Jiang Ming and Rita could clearly understand what the cat meant.

"Rita, the Honkai energy in it is almost reaching the Emperor level... No, it has already reached it, although just barely."

"Need help?"

"Just leave it to me."

After saying that, Jiang Ming took a step forward, and with his right hand, some ice crystals fell down, and finally condensed into a three-foot-six-inch ice sword. From its smoothness that even reflected the surrounding scenery like a mirror, it could be seen that it was very sharp.

However, despite saying so, Rita still revealed her Blue Knight, Moon Soul, standing not far away, ready to provide support at any time.

“Meow (Huh? Boy, are you also a Valkyrie? I’ve never seen your type, but the concentration of Honkai energy in your body is not inferior to the S-class next to you. Interesting…)”

"The fun is yet to come. Even if you have already reached the threshold of the Emperor level, I can still defeat you with only 50% of my strength."

"Meow! (Five percent? Who are you...looking down on!)"

As if feeling looked down upon, the cat began to tremble with anger. Then it poured all its strength into its limbs, and its muscles instantly became tight.

The next moment, it rushed towards Jiang Ming at a speed no less than the Honkai Emperor he encountered last time in Dubai.

Jiang Ming was already prepared for the battle. He quickly formed an ice wall to cover his body and quickly retreated.

But this ice wall was obviously unable to withstand this imperial-level impact. In just a moment of collision, the ice wall was smashed into a pile of broken ice cubes.

But just when the cat broke through the ice wall to look for Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming had already swung out several icy sword qi, emitting bursts of cold air, and hit the target exactly!

But this only left a few sword marks on its hard shell.

"Nya (Nice attack, but not enough)."

"Then how about this?"

Rita arrived above its head early, wielding a huge sickle in her hand and chopped it down quickly without hesitation.

But because it has gone through cruel experiments, its senses are already ten thousand times more sensitive than those of ordinary cats! Therefore, it can clearly sense danger signals.

It dodged the attack by turning its head and quickly retreated. Then, its huge tail began to gather Honkai energy. In just a moment, a dark purple light with incredible power shot towards Rita and Jiang Ming, and a violent explosion occurred at the moment of collision.

"Rita!"

Boom boom boom——! !

With a "beep beep" sound, the cat-shaped Honkai beast returned to its original appearance.

It couldn't help but sneer as it looked at the two people who had disappeared under the building.

"Meow~ (It seems that this is all we can do today. Humans are still as fragile as ever.)"

"Meow meow meow (My name is Stan, if you are still alive, we will see each other later)."

...................

Not long after Stan left, Jiang Ming removed the stone that almost crushed him and Rita.

"It was a close call. I didn't expect it to be able to shoot out such destructive rays in almost no time."

"Well, we were both careless this time."

Jiang Ming clenched his fists as he looked in the direction Stan left.

"That guy's strength is no less than that of an ordinary emperor-level Honkai beast, and is probably even stronger than an ordinary Ganesha. I really don't know who made the potion that was injected into it..."

"It's okay, Master Jiang Ming. Since they showed up to stop us from investigating, as long as we continue investigating, they will definitely reveal their true colors again."

"Ah."

Seeing Rita like this, Jiang Ming had no choice but to nod his head. However, it was not very comfortable for him to suppress his strength to 50% under normal conditions. He could not even kill an emperor in one second. Although if he did kill him, he would have to pay for it later...

At this moment, a light cough brought Jiang Ming and the others back to reality. They turned around and found that it was the museum director Catherine.

It seemed that she was attracted by the explosion just now. She looked at the broken cultural relics scattered all over the ground, with a “╬” on her face and looked at them with gritted teeth.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming stood aside calmly, trying to cover up the fact by pretending to be enjoying the scenery.

"Ahem, Miss Rita, can you explain to me what's going on?"

Hearing this, Rita simply smiled knowingly.

"Please don't worry, Miss Catherine. The museum's losses will be fully borne by Tianming."
