Collapse, but Stand users

Humans may have already developed a time machine, but it only works under two conditions.

One is when people feel like they'll get up in 5 more minutes, and the other is when they're on vacation.

Happy times are always fleeting, aren't they?

Father Time stole Kira Yoshikage's peaceful time, and four and a half years seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Attention all personnel, abnormal Honkai energy detected. Prepare for combat."

'Has it arrived, Herrscher of the Rock?' Kira Yoshikage thought to himself as he accompanied his squad to support Mu Continent.

"Mu Continent's scientific research capabilities are very strong, and it won't be breached in a short time. Don't worry, Eden," Alicia comforted her, noticing that Eden's expression was not good.

"Well, thank you, Ellie, but I have a bad feeling." Eden forced a smile after hearing Ellie's words of comfort.

"Aponia, Yoshikage Kira, everything will be alright on Mu Continent, right?" Alicia asked the two expectantly, but was met with silence from them.

They traveled in silence, but halfway there, they received a message to retreat.

Before anyone could ask why, a video was sent to them.

In the video, the armed forces of Mu Continent are attacking the Herrscher, and many Fusion Warriors are also cooperating to weaken the Herrscher's defense.

Seeing that the Herrscher was only defending, everyone thought they had victory in their grasp.

But in reality, the Herrscher was just holding back a powerful move.

The Herrscher reached out her hand, and a black hole fell from it.

It grew larger and larger as it fell, absorbing everything around it.

Whether it was construction or life, nothing remains.

But the video wasn't over yet. As the black hole fell to the ground and went underground, something even more terrifying happened.

After a tremor, the ground began to crumble and disintegrate. Finally, seawater surged in, completely covering up any trace of human existence.

After watching the video, the already silent atmosphere among the group became even more oppressive.

"Well... let's go back and discuss how to deal with this. There's always a way." Alicia didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort everyone.

Everyone nodded silently and looked at Eden, who came from the Mu Continent.

Everyone can empathize with the feeling of their hometown being destroyed.

What Eden needs right now is not comfort, but enough space and time.

"Mr. Kira Yoshikage, you know the ending of the Mu Continent, right? Why didn't you do what you did the previous two times, before the Herrscher appeared...?"

"What, are you going to blame me? Blame me for not doing anything?"

"Do you treat me like a saint, expecting me to be responsible for those lost lives?"

"Yoshikage Kira, say less." Alicia tried to interrupt Yoshikage Kira.

But Yoshikage Kira has no intention of stopping.

"I only know the Herrscher's abilities and the approximate location and time of their appearance; I know nothing else. Aponia can do that too, can't she, by peeking into a corner of fate?"

"If you tell us in advance, we can prevent the Herrscher to some extent, right?"

"Too many changes in fate are not a good thing, Eden."

"Moreover, I don't care. Just like I didn't notify the Australian continent before Himiko transformed into the Herrscher of Flame, I don't care about the lives or deaths of those people."

"Do you have to be so absolute, Yoshikage Kira?" Alicia's expression turned unusually serious as she looked at Yoshikage Kira.

"Just to prevent you from having any unrealistic fantasies about me."

"I've never been a good person, nor have I ever had any intention of saving the world."

Calm, in his usual calm tone, Yoshikage Kira calmly stated the facts.

Unlike everyone else, Yoshikage Kira is truly capable of disregarding human life and the lives of others. When people look at Yoshikage Kira, they see for the first time the true nature beneath his calm exterior.

"Hmph, pointless arguments. If the purpose of this team is just for me to listen to your pointless debates, then I'm leaving."

Qianjie listened to the argument and made a disdainful remark.

"At least this guy is sincere, isn't he? Unlike some guys, who are so hypocritical it's disgusting."

After that, until they returned to base, no one said another word.

The harmonious team dynamics seem to have cracked.

"This shouldn't be happening. There's clearly a better solution, why...?"

"There's no reason, Alicia."

"That's just how I am."
