Collapse, but Stand users

After the holiday, everyone returned to base to begin implementing the plan proposed by Mei.

May entrusted the plan to the others to carry out, while she herself took the artificial intelligence AI Prometheus to the moon.

Based on the ruins on the moon, Dr. Mei deduced that there are a total of fourteen Herrschers, and that humanity is trapped in a cycle of 50,000 years, ultimately leading to the destruction of humanity by the Herrscher of the End.

A few days later, Mei returned from the moon and, upon landing, learned that Ling was likely the twelfth Herrscher.

Although Ling did not show any abnormalities, the Fire Moth did detect unusual Honkai energy fluctuations.

Suddenly, everyone in the Golden Courtyard became the target of public criticism.

"Are you trying to protect the Herrscher?! Are you trying to protect the culprit who destroyed humanity?!"

"Hand over the Lawyer! Hand over the Lawyer!"

The remaining fusion warriors surrounded the Golden Courtyard, shouting loudly.

Qianjie stood silently at the door, suppressing his anger.

"Dr. Mei is back! Let Dr. Mei be the judge!"

"Everyone, calm down and listen to me."

After Dr. Mei arrived at the Golden Courtyard, she reassured everyone and said that she would detain Ling for a period of time for observation.

Although the crowd was still dissatisfied, Mei's prestige made it difficult for them to continue their outburst. After Mei made a guarantee, the crowd left.

After dispersing the crowd, Mei sighed and walked into the Golden Courtyard.

"Come on, Ling, open your mouth."

"Ah... Mmm, the cake is so delicious, hehe."

"...Can't you two sisters have a little sense of urgency?"

"Ah, it's Dr. Mei. How was it? Did you find anything worthwhile on this trip to the moon?"

"...Indeed, there were considerable gains."

Afterwards, May gathered everyone together and told them the facts she had deduced on the moon.

Upon learning this, everyone felt both heavy-hearted and relieved.

The heaviness comes from the Herald of the End.

It's easy because there's only the Herrscher of the End left.

Inspired by the lunar ruins, May then proposed the idea of ​​a strategic weapon, the "Moon Throne," to Vervies and Möbius.

"I've finished sharing my findings. So... is Ling really a Herrscher?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Mei glanced at Ling, who noticed and grinned foolishly at Mei.

"Sigh, let's leave it at that for now," Mei said helplessly, rubbing her head.

The thought of having two current Lawyers and one former Lawyer in the Golden Courtyard made Mei feel weary again.

Although she was puzzled by Ling's continued humanity, given Alicia's precedent, May simply treated her as another special case.

Afterwards, Mei announced to the Fire Moth that she would place Ling under house arrest in the Golden Garden, with Alicia guarding her.

Bringing up Alicia's name calmed everyone down for a moment.

May, Vervier, Möbius, and other researchers began the development of the Moon Throne.

......

"Hey, are we really going to do this?"

"Tch, you don't even know what house arrest means? That Herrscher is probably hiding in there eating and drinking like a king every day!"

"Since they don't want to do it, then let us do it!"

"All of this is for humanity!"

"Yes, for the sake of humanity, destroy the Herrschers!"

Ling's survival wore down everyone's patience. Fueled by hatred for the Herrschers and the constraints of the commandments, they decided to sneak into the Golden Garden to assassinate Ling.

Perhaps blinded by hatred, the group made their way through the Golden Courtyard without any apparent trouble or sense of unease.

Following the name hanging on the wall, the group found Ling's room.

Seeing Sakura's name hanging on the wall of the next room, someone realized what was going on.

"No! They are top-tier warriors, how could they not have spotted us!"

"Ha! They must have gone crazy from their vacation. The Herrscher is inside. Let's go together!"

Ignoring the dissuasion of those behind him, the leader impatiently pushed open the door to Ling's room.

"Huh? Who's yelling like that in the middle of the night? Oh? Why is my door open?"

Ling, who had been woken up, rubbed her eyes and looked at the empty doorway. She assumed the door had been blown open by the wind and went over to close it.

......

"No! They are top-tier warriors, how could they not have spotted us!"

"Ha! They must have gone crazy from their vacation. The Herrscher is inside. Let's go together!"

"Huh? Why is someone shouting again? Sigh, could it be a ghost?"

Ling shivered and ran to Sakura's room, knocking on the door.

Sakura immediately opened the door.

Ling scratched her head and said to Ying, "Sister, I want to sleep with you."

Sakura didn't say anything, but made room for Ling, who then slipped inside.

......

"I heard two loud shouts last night, did you hear them?"

"Twice? Sakura, you heard me twice?"

Sakura shook her head. "I only heard it once."

Yoshikage Kira didn't say anything, and sat calmly on the sofa reading a book as usual.

"Killer Queen, Third Bomb, Bites the Dust."
