Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

(The perspective switches in this chapter will be very frequent, please get used to it)

Kallen walked up to the execution platform with her hands tied. When she looked up and saw the sunlight outside, she couldn't help but squint.

"How is it possible that Lady Karen would commit such a crime? There must be something wrong!" Karen stepped onto the first step. The people below had eyes full of disbelief and were talking about it.

This is under the Cathedral of Destiny, where many Honkai beasts are imprisoned. It can be said that as long as the Honkai beasts here are released, the city will be destroyed.

Lu Ren walked down the first step. The wind blowing from the deep dungeon touched the candle, and the candlelight began to flicker.

He couldn't help but squint his eyes, trying to identify the way down. He could feel the imprint in his body starting to move violently again.

Kallen walked up the second staircase, and the people in the audience said again: "It was Lady Kallen who saved our village two years ago, how could she be a sinner!

"You are not allowed to question the bishop's verdict. If I hear your doubts again, I will arrest you all for heresy." The man in black robe with a bird-beak mask who had followed Arthur on the execution platform shouted loudly.

Lu Ren walked down another step and looked at the surrounding environment. Because this was the dungeon where the Honkai beasts were imprisoned, everything here seemed so bad. The rusty iron locks made people wonder if it could really serve the function of imprisoning the Honkai beasts?

However, there should be someone guarding here. From the beginning, Lu Ren pretended to be a believer who came to the cathedral to pray. Along the way, he only saw a few drunk people from the Destiny Mission. He came here very easily.

"It seems that Otto has sent the people guarding here away in advance, otherwise I would not have arrived here so smoothly."

The plan they discussed before was for Lu Ren to rush to the dungeon of the Cathedral of Destiny to stop the people who might release the Honkai beasts. If no one else came here except Lu Ren, then Lu Ren would go out and meet up with Kiana and the others and escape together.

However, it seems that Otto will definitely come and release the Honkai beast, so Lu Ren’s goal is to stop him from releasing the Honkai beast.

"Here is a sword. Although it is a standard iron sword, it can be used. Why do you need a bicycle?" Lu Ren picked up the iron sword that fell on the ground and waved it around. The feel was much worse than the purple sword.

"But just to stop Otto, a sword like this is enough." Lu Ren flicked the sword and hid in a dark corner waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Kallen climbed the last step. At this time, the people in the audience were silent. They looked at Kallen with eyes full of suspicion, wondering how such a good person could be hanged.

Soon after, Kallen stopped in front of the rope that was about to hang him, staring at it with emotionless pupils.

The man who had shouted before raised his head to look at the sun, and then respectfully said to Arthur standing on the execution platform: "Lord Arthur, it's getting late."

Arthur looked at Kallen, who was silent and dumbfounded, with complicated eyes, and sighed heavily, "Ah... prepare for the execution."

At this moment, there was already a pair of blue eyes watching every word and action on the stage, and that was Kiana.

She carefully recalled the plan made by Bronya in her mind. "Bronya will use the materials collected at the market to make explosives. When she detonates them around me, it will be my time to take action."

After thinking about it, Kiana looked at the situation on the stage again. Kallen's neck was about to be tied with a rope, but there was still no movement from Bronya. Kiana couldn't help but become anxious.

"It's almost time for the execution, what are you still doing, Bronya?"

At this time, Bronya had changed her outfit. After mixing the materials in proportion, she put them into several red packages of the same size.

"Huh, finally done. This was much harder than I thought." Bronya wiped the sweat off her forehead, packed up the remaining things, and ran towards the designated location.

Time was passing by every second in the execution ground. Kiana was now like an ant on a hot pan, running around in a panic.

"Could something have gone wrong?" she said to herself worriedly.

But soon this worry disappeared. With the explosion of the bomb, Kiana couldn't wait and immediately jumped onto the execution platform.

The man in the black robe and bird-beak mask on the stage saw someone jumping up and was about to draw his sword, but because the forward swing was too great, he was kicked down by Kiana who jumped up.

Such a big commotion startled Kallen, who was determined to die. She looked at the person who came and said, "This is..."

Arthur also looked over there, and Kiana's eyes met his.

"From now on, all I have to do is defeat you. Last time, I was careless and got ambushed." Kiana said as she took a stance.

Arthur was silent for a while, then pointed to his right. "Take Miss Karen with you. Follow this path to the harbor. I have already arranged a boat there."

"I didn't expect that you are such a good person, grandpa!" Kiana said with a smile.

Karen frowned, "If that's the case, Grandpa Arthur, your father will..."

Arthur turned his back and said, "It's okay. I'm already old. Even if I'm punished by the master, I'll die with no regrets."

Kiana helped Kallen up and supported her down from the execution platform.

"Please take good care of Miss Karen!"

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened. Kiana raised her head and a few drops of water hit her face.

"What's going on?" She wiped the water dripping on her face, very confused, because it was a sunny day just now, why is it raining now?

This story begins when Lu Ren ambushed Otto.

"Hey, my legs are numb from squatting. Why hasn't anyone come yet?" Lu Ren stood up from the shadows. He felt that a long time had passed.

He looked at the unchanging marble again and couldn't help but yawning. This time the mark in his body responded again, guiding him to move deeper.

"You're not done yet, huh? Fine, I'll see what attracts you so much today."

Lu Ren looked at the stairs, still no movement. Otto probably wouldn't come in the short term, so he might as well go and see what was inside.

But he was still worried, so he pinned the standard sword on the door to serve as a bolt. At least when someone came in, Lu Ren inside could hear the sound of the door opening in time.

After doing all this, Lu Ren slowly walked into the room. After passing one cell after another with iron bars, Lu Ren stopped in front of a door.

"The door is not locked. Why do I feel like something is wrong?" Lu Ren muttered a few words, but still pushed open the door.

"What... is going on?" Lu Ren looked at the situation in the room and finally understood why the engraving reaction was so strong.
