Collapse, but Stand users

Compared to previous incidents, the number of human casualties in the "Thousand Law Enforcers" event was not as high.

But it also dealt humanity a truly heavy blow.

Friends are no longer friends, and home is no longer home.

No one knows if the person they spend every day with will suddenly turn into a Herrscher and attack them.

[A high-ranking member of the Firemoth faction has become a Herrscher, causing panic among the other high-ranking members, who have begun to exert pressure on their subordinates.]

Of course, the Golden Courtyard ignored the orders from higher-ups.

[Geniuses all have their own plans; Velvet will use the core of the Herrscher of a Thousand to create a new Divine Key.]

Based on the distributed nature of the Herrscher of the Ten's core, which can split infinitely, this Divine Key was manufactured into thousands of mass-produced pieces.

Mebius continued his research on the Fusion Warrior's 'Collapse' form, attempting to make it a controllable form.

Dr. May began her research based on the 'Stigmata Project' proposed by Möbius, which involves projecting human consciousness into the Stigmata space to construct a perfect utopian world composed of 'imaginary numbers'.

However, none of their plans went very smoothly.

In order to prevent his lieutenant Imer's core from being turned into a divine key, Qianjie extensively destroyed the tenth divine key that was being created.

[Möbius attempted to 'artificially collapse' on himself, eventually going berserk and losing control. Fortunately, everyone arrived in time to restrain him. Afterwards, when questioned by the Fire Moth, everyone unanimously stated that it was Thousand Calamities who created the commotion.]

Dr. Mei witnessed the experimenters involved in the Stigmata Project go mad, and had no choice but to stop the research, keeping them as her last resort.

But these minor obstacles have no effect on them whatsoever.

Inspired by the "lottery" system of the Seven Thunders of Purification, Vilvie transformed the tenth Divine Key into a weapon that could adapt to the user and change its form.

[Möbius sensed the feeling after his own collapse and refined the artificial collapse.]

Dr. Mei changed direction and developed a new type of super-mutant factor, 'META-MORPH', which is not fatal even if it fails.

However, the new mutant factor META-MORPH reduces the strength of the fusion warriors while ensuring the test subjects' survival.

Fortunately, the mass production of the tenth Divine Key compensated for the loss of combat power.

[In response, the Firemoth launched its second fusion warrior mass production plan.]

However, since the new super-mutant factor can only be activated through combat that evokes a psychologically stimulating sense of impending death, the mortality rate in the experiments remains high.

However, many people still survived and became a valuable fighting force for humanity.

[Afterwards, Kevin found Mebius and requested to perform the 'artificial collapse' surgery.]

After developing the Xuanyuan Sword, Virvi immediately began developing the eighth divine key—the Feather of Dust.

Human affairs are none of your concern; you spend your days playing with Paddo and reading books.

"Ta-da! Assistant, look what this is."

"Wow! It's the little boss! Sister Wilvi, did you make this yourself?"

"Hmph, of course, this is Yoshikage Kira's [Armed Doll] version."

Kira Yoshikage looked at his tiny self floating beside Vilvie and waved to him.

The little guy obediently flew over and nuzzled Kira Yoshikage's hand. Seeing this scene, Kira Yoshikage felt a little complicated.

"So obedient, little Kira, come over here to your big sister~" Alicia looked at the obedient little Kira Yoshikage and felt a ticklish feeling in her heart, wanting to touch him too.

Velvi snatched the little Kira Yoshikage from her arms and held him close, watching Alicia warily.

Afterwards, Alicia pleaded repeatedly, but Velvi still refused.

Alicia then approached Mebius, hoping she would do the same.

Mebius readily agreed and sculpted one based on Klein's image and personality.

"Oh my! Little Klein is so cute, thank you Möbius."

"Wait a minute."

Mebius slapped away Alicia's hand as she reached for the armed doll Klein.

"You only asked me to make one before, you didn't say you would give it to me, did you?"

"What about this?"

“Of course it’s my Klein.”

As he spoke, Mebius pulled Klein into his arms.

Seeing the two of them starting to flirt and completely oblivious to each other's presence, Alicia momentarily forgot what to say.

"Why are you still here?"

"You guys are bullying me, I'm ignoring you, Mebius." With that, Alicia slunk away.

Eden spent a long time coaxing her, and finally made a doll in his own image for Alicia before he could appease her.

The magnanimous Alicia also chose to forgive Mebius.

"I forgive you, Mebius." After saying that, Alicia happily went off to find Eden again.

And then there was Alicia, who suddenly ran over, said she forgave him, and then ran away again.

Mebius slowly typed a question mark.

"When have I ever done anything that required her forgiveness?"

"Doctor, there's something wrong with the data here."

"Here he comes, my dear Klein~"

"...Is the Doctor imitating Alicia's speech?"

"What, don't you like it?"

As he spoke, Mebius began to examine the incorrect data.

Klein stared blankly at Mebius's small face, lost in thought.
