Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

The command center is so busy that no one can spare time.

"What? Why hasn't the fuel problem been solved yet? Ask the person in charge to come see me!"

"Graymoth, have you cleared out the Honkai creatures around the base?"

"..."

Everyone stayed at his or her post and fulfilled his or her responsibilities. With their joint efforts, all the transfer work was carried out in an orderly and rapid manner.

It is foreseeable that it will not be long before all matters concerning the transfer will be properly arranged.

But at this moment, the highest level alarm suddenly sounded in the base.

The people in the command center stared at the holographic map in front of them with serious expressions. The map was flashing a dazzling red light, which meant that the Herrscher-level Honkai reaction was spreading rapidly.

Their heartbeats quickened, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their hands trembled slightly, revealing their extreme nervousness and anxiety.

Everyone's eyes were filled with anxiety and fear, as if they could see the destruction and disaster that this collapse would bring.

Bronya and Seele rushed to the command center. When Seele saw them, she exclaimed, "Why are you here at this time?"

Bronya looked serious. The impending crisis brought the Fire Moths resistance to the biggest crisis since its establishment.

"There is no time left. All personnel aboard the Hyperion and begin the transfer immediately!"

After hearing the order, everyone did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately passed the order to the relevant departments and personnel through phone calls.

For a moment, the room was filled with a tense and busy atmosphere, with calls coming one after another, as if a fierce battle was unfolding.

"Sister Bronya, the transfer time is too rushed and we may not be able to get everyone on board." Seele said worriedly.

Bronya glanced at Seele and understood what she was talking about.

"I'm willing to stay and cover your retreat!" Her voice was firm, without any hesitation or retreat.

She looked at Bronya with a firm gaze, as if she was ready to face any difficulties and dangers. "Only in this way can everyone get on board."

Seele's words were just as Bronya expected. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions as she stared at the resolute and courageous girl in front of her.

She marveled in her heart at the wonder and complexity of growing up, as if in just an instant, the once naive girl had become so strong and brave.

Every word of Seele deeply touched Bronya's heart, and she saw the great changes that took place in Seele.

This sister who once needed protection and care has now become a person who can face difficulties independently and pursue her goals firmly.

Looking at Seele's determined eyes, Bronya knew that she had found her own path and was willing to fight for it.

This kind of growth is not just a physical change, but also a transformation and maturity of the soul.

At this moment, Bronya felt sincerely gratified and proud of Seele's growth.

She knows that growing up is a long and difficult journey, but it is precisely such experiences that shape a more complete and unique individual.

She couldn't refuse the offer; they really needed someone to cover their retreat.

But with complicated emotions, Bronya hoped that it wasn't Seele who proposed it.

After a long while, Bronya finally said, "Okay..."

This was the hardest decision she had ever made.

The afternoon sun shines softly on this vicissitudes and disaster-stricken land, as if bringing a touch of warmth and hope to the whole world.

All over the land, several teams of brave and fearless resistance soldiers stood quietly in their respective positions, with firm and resolute eyes, closely watching the enemies that might appear ahead.

They were dressed in neat military uniforms and held a variety of weapons and equipment, some were sharp swords, some were brand new spears, and some were operating deadly mechanical equipment.

Everyone's face is filled with fortitude and determination. They know that the upcoming battle will be extremely difficult, but they are not afraid and are willing to use their lives to protect the land where they were born and raised.

The breeze gently brushed their faces, blowing up their hair and clothes, but their figures remained as stable as sculptures. They maintained tacit cooperation with each other, forming an indestructible line of defense.

As time went by, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and the enemy gradually appeared on the horizon.

However, the resistance soldiers were not consumed by fear. On the contrary, their fighting spirit became even higher.

They held their weapons tightly, ready to face this life-and-death battle...

Xier stood at the front and was not surprised by the tide of Honkai creatures. It would be strange if a Herrscher could not mobilize so many Honkai creatures for her use.

The Honkai creatures walking in front all had thick skin and flesh, and ordinary bullets hitting them were no different from scraping.

Fortunately, they already had experience in how to deal with this kind of meat shield. They took out heavy firepower weapons and fired rockets at them one after another.

The battle line was quickly stabilized, and these Honkai creatures were unable to break through their defenses for a while.

But what troubles them is never these guys with pitifully low intelligence, but the Herrschers who drive them.

Not long after, Mei Raiden appeared again. She was still standing on Kukulkan's head, looking down on the pitiful people on the ground.

Xier held the sickle tightly, she only hoped to stop Raiden Mei, only in this way could the transfer be successful.

Mei Raiden saw Seele on the ground. She flew down from Kukulkan's head, looked at Seele face to face and said, "Let's start with you."

She stretched out one of her arms, and a long sword made entirely of thunder slowly took shape in the air. The terrifying aura rose instantly, and a strong wind was stirred up around her.

This is a life-and-death duel. Neither side will talk about morality or justice. Every move they make is aimed at killing the other side, so each move is ruthless and hard to defend against.

Mei Raiden slashed at Seele with a knife. Seele raised her sickle to block it. Then her whole body trembled. The power from the weapon just now almost made her weapon drop out of her hand.

After releasing the remaining force, Xier also realized that she could not compete with Raiden Mei in strength. She had to turn passivity into initiative.

Seele raised her sickle, causing Raiden Mei to mistakenly believe that Seele wanted to challenge her head-on.

When Mei Raiden injected three-tenths of her strength into the knife and pressed it down, Xier suddenly pulled back, instantly appeared behind Mei Raiden, and attacked her defenseless back.

Mei Raiden turned around quickly and swung her sword, her movements as smooth and natural as flowing water.

The knife in her hand, flashing with cold light, collided with the sickle wielded by Xier!

In an instant, sparks flew and the sound of metal clashing was deafening, as if the whole world was shaking!

After missing the attack, Xier did not panic, but immediately retreated to a safe place and adjusted her breathing slightly.

Mei Raiden frowned, as if she was dissatisfied with herself for not being able to conquer Seele in such a long time.

Mei Raiden was determined not to drag it on any longer, so she mobilized her Herrscher Core and flashed in front of Seele in an instant.

She raised her hand and swung a knife. The sharp blade flashed with cold light and slashed towards Xier with great momentum.

This sword is unavoidable. This is the strength of the Herrscher. Even if he possesses the stigmata and can mobilize the Honkai energy, the gap between the two is like that between fluorescent light and the bright moon.

"Do you regret it?" A voice in Xier's heart asked as she watched death approach.

"No regrets!"

Xier picked up the sickle silently. She wanted to see if she could take the blow.

At this moment, a familiar figure stood in front of Xier.

"Lu Ren, why are you here?" Xier asked in a lost voice.

Lu Ren barely took the blow, then pulled Xier's hand and quickly retreated.

He saw that Raiden Mei was still standing there without moving, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm here to pick you up. The transfer has been completed, and we're waiting for you to board the ship."

Lu Ren rarely looked at Xier, and spoke in a serious tone that was never heard in normal times.

"What about you, Lu Ren?" Xier asked.

"Me?" Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xi'er and forced a smile, "I'll catch up later."

But she couldn't bear to let a patient stay here.

As if Lu Ren saw through Xier's thoughts, he said to her in a serious tone: "Xier, didn't you owe me a favor before? If you leave now, you will be repaying my favor."

Xier was speechless. She glanced at the other people who stayed with her. They had all sacrificed their lives, and each of them had shed his last drop of blood.

In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes. She suppressed her sadness, turned around and left.

Mei Raiden did not stop Xier from leaving. She pointed her knife at Lu Ren, her eyes full of murderous intent.

"Your opponent is me, Raiden Mei." Lu Ren's eyes were cold, and the color of the woven sword in his hand became lighter, turning into a crystal sword.

Mei Raiden didn't say anything extra. She instantly appeared in front of Lu Ren and still used the same simple sword strike, but this strike had reached the limit of human martial arts.

Lu Ren recalled the four forms and twenty-one moves of Taixu sword energy and subconsciously used [Green Pine].

The shadow of a pine tree appeared behind him, and then he struck out with a sword. The two sides ended in a draw, and neither could do anything to the other.

Afterwards, Lu Ren took the initiative to attack, using moves like [Rock Break], [Random Thunder], [Thunderbolt], and [Landslide] in turn, and actually overwhelmed Raiden Mei to the point where she couldn't fight back.

But this is not something to be happy about, as it means that Mei Raiden has not yet exerted her full strength.

He estimated that such an attack would soon fail.

What happened afterwards was exactly what Lu Ren had expected. He continued to attack, but Raiden Mei was like a prophet. When his attack was at its most fierce, she cleverly used the fleeting tiny vacuum period and easily resolved this fierce attack with a speed and skill that ordinary people could hardly achieve.

“Tsk, I guess it’s hopeless. I can’t use my authority and my strength is still somewhat limited.” Lu Ren said with a gloomy expression.

He raised his hand and repaired the sword. After the competition just now, this sword woven from Honkai energy was in danger of dissipating at any time.

"This is rebirth, embrace destruction!" The voice in his mind continued to speak steadily, causing mental attacks on Lu Ren.

"I lost Tongzi and now I have you. What did I do in my previous life to deserve this?"

As time went by, Lu Ren's vision became more and more blurred, as if shrouded by a thick fog.

He tried hard to see the things around him clearly, but only hazy colors were shaking before his eyes.

Those scenes that were once clearly visible now seem like bubbles, unreal, floating and empty.

Is this a side effect of Honkai overdraft? Lu Ren didn't know. All he could do was stop Mei Raiden and prevent her from catching up with the Hyperion.

Mei Raiden didn't expect that this patient would stop her for so long. In desperation, she condensed a spear in her hand.
