Collapse, but Stand users

[The Feathered Dust is being developed by Velvi as a mental weapon, and Velvi has sought the help of the mental fusion warrior Aponia for this purpose.]

[Without obtaining Velvet's consent, Aponia implanted the personality of the Eighth Herrscher into Feather Dust to aid the holder.]

[Vilvie has stopped allowing Aponia to continue helping with the production of Feather Dust due to her unauthorized actions.]

Meanwhile, in order to further enhance the combat power of the second-generation fusion warriors, Mei created the "Divine Sound" hypnotic device with the help of Aponia's "Commandments".

However, all the fusion warriors who were hypnotized by the 'divine voice' went mad, including the first generation of fusion warriors.

In the end, only Hua survived.

[For a period of time afterward, Hua said she often heard strange noises, but she remained mentally stable.]

In response, Aponia recommended Hua as the user of Feather Dust to Vilvie.

And Hua lived up to expectations, perfectly matching Yu Duchen.

[Through Mei's series of actions, the number of second-phase fusion warriors has reached the size of an army. In addition, Mei has basically mastered the Fire-Chasing Moth. Mei is preparing to disband the Poisonous Pupa.]

[Because some of the poisonous individuals were transferred from the Deepest Place, and due to instigation by certain individuals with ulterior motives and their own fear of the Deepest Place, some of them began to riot.]

However, the riot was suppressed by Qianjie shortly after it began.

[One wave subsides only for another to rise. In your 28th year, the eleventh Herrscher—the Herrscher of Binding—was born. And less than four months had passed between the end of the Herrscher of a Thousand and the birth of the Herrscher of Binding.]

The Herald of Binding was born not far from the headquarters of the Flame Chaser.

[From the moment it was born, the Herrscher created a barrier with a radius of 110 meters.]

As the Herrscher moves, the barrier continues to expand.

[All Honkai energy and electrical energy are rendered ineffective within the barrier. Fusion warriors who enter it will die within one minute due to bodily dysfunction.]

Ultimately, the barrier of the Herald of Binding expanded to a radius of 100 kilometers.

Due to the malfunction of electronic devices and the deaths of explorers within the Herrscher of Binding's barrier, the Flame Chaser has dispatched a fusion warrior capable of combat to risk entering the barrier and searching for the Herrscher's location.

The Yingjie Squad's trump card for finally defeating the Herrscher was reserved for after they found the Herrscher.

The group stood at a distance, watching the Firemoth Base and the Golden Courtyard, which were shrouded in a barrier.

“Fortunately, the Herald of Bindings won’t destroy the building, otherwise…” Velvi said, shaking her head.

"The barrier of the Herrscher of Binding has been weakened by the death of the Fusion Warrior. That's really... cruel," Hen sighed.

Blanca, holding Gretchen's small hand, at May's request, also served as a trump card to kill the Herrscher.

But do the two really need to stay? Blanca didn't know. She looked at Mei, only to find that everyone's eyes were focused on Yoshikage Kira.

Yoshikage Kira lowered his left hand and stared silently at the barrier in the distance.

Warriors who were like moths chasing the flame kept passing by.

Regardless of gender or age, they all share the same belief, a belief that transcends life and death, and is unwavering in its commitment.

As Alicia watched the warriors around her enter the Herrscher barrier without hesitation, her heart bled.

"...Yoshikage Kira, please help them, okay? Please help humanity, okay?"

"I beg you, please help humanity..."

Alicia lowered her head and pleaded with Yoshikage Kira, her voice trembling.

Yoshikage Kira remained silent.

"I know you don't want to attract attention, but... but people shouldn't do this."

"We shouldn't be dying here."

"Please, please..."

As she spoke, Alicia became somewhat incoherent, only pleading with Yoshikage Kira, tears streaming down her face and onto the ground.

Tears blurred her vision, and Alicia vaguely saw Kira Yoshikage hand her a tissue.

The girl looked up, her eyes red-rimmed, and gazed at Yoshikage Kira with surprise and delight.

Taking the tissue from Yoshikage Kira, Alicia wiped away her tears.

But when the girl saw Yoshikage Kira's hand, she was stunned. Although it was very subtle, Alicia could still see a crack in Yoshikage Kira's palm.

"Yoshikage Kira! Your hand..." Alicia grabbed Yoshikage Kira's hand, trying to figure out what was going on.

Kira Yoshikage didn't give Alicia a chance and quickly pulled his hand back.

“Hmm, you should probably trim your fingernails.” With that, Yoshikage Kira clenched his left hand into a fist and said to Alicia, “I will handle the Herrscher of Binding.”

“…” Watching Yoshikage Kira’s departing figure, Alicia fell silent. She turned to look at Pado, who was playing with canned goods, and Velvey, who was fiddling with machines in the temporary camp. Alicia did not tell the two of them about Yoshikage Kira’s strange behavior.

......

Are you going to reverse your fate again?

"..."

"Whether it was to save someone or something, I offer you my highest respect."

......

'Not enough, not enough.' Kira Yoshikage told himself as he watched the cracks on his left hand grow denser.

Those who cannot give up anything will gain nothing.

......

The wear and tear is worse; it seems to be on this side.

Let the Fusion Warriors continue to be weakened.

......

'This intensity... this is the right range.'

Turning the corner, Yoshikage Kira saw the Herald of Restraint hanging on the cross.

"Finally found you, Herrscher!"

"Look this way, you bastard!"

The car accelerated toward the Herrscher, and the closer it got to the Herrscher, the more cracks appeared on the car body.

But Yoshikage Kira showed no sign of slowing down.

"I've run into you, Herrscher."

"Killer Queen! Second bomb, Wither Heart Piercing Attack!"

After the explosion, the Herrscher disappeared, leaving only the Herrscher Core lying on the spot.

'Just right.'

'Having gathered enough despair, he killed the Herrscher while preserving his left hand.'

"Boss, the Herrscher suddenly disappeared. Did you do it?!" Upon hearing Padre's voice, Kira Yoshikage hurriedly hid his left hand and then calmly nodded.

"Hehe, I knew it, the boss is the best!"

Some people's names were on your list of peaceful lives, so you took action.

[Don't you want to gamble on how many people it will take to completely weaken the Herrscher's barrier?]

Just to be on the safe side, after gathering enough despair, you dispatched bomb trucks to search for the Herrscher's trail.

You seized the opportunity and killed the Herrscher before his left hand was crippled.

[With this, the eleventh Honkai Impact 3rd has ended.]

......

'We acted too early.'

'I was actually affected by Alicia's tears... That's really inappropriate.'

"Click...click...click..."

Kira Yoshikage clipped his nails, reflecting on the inappropriateness of this operation.
