Collapse, but Stand users

[Under your influence, Paddo and Velvi joined the Fire Moth ahead of schedule. Velvi joined the engineering department, but because of her previous dangerous actions, she was left alone on a deserted island. Being with geniuses would obviously attract attention, so you chose to join the tactical squad, and Paddo joined the logistics of your squad.]

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. You know that in a world in turmoil, pursuing a peaceful and stable life is clearly unrealistic.

If you want to live the life you desire, then the collapse must be eradicated.

Of course, you can't attract public attention during this process.

Therefore, you need a hero, a hero whose brilliance can completely overshadow yours.

Whatever credit may be given, just attribute it to her.

【You've found someone, Alicia】

Not only because she's strong, but also because you have leverage over her.

......

At 18, you've successfully navigated 18 years of peaceful life, and the things you care about are few and far between.

[Kira Yoshihiro, Patto, Velvet, Alicia, and the rest of the heroes]

Other things don't need to appear in your peaceful life.

[Looking at the ever-increasing Honkai energy, you know the Herrscher of Thunder is coming.]

The Honkai Impact 3rd is beginning to reveal its true nature.

The game of pretend is coming to an end.

"Mission accomplished, team up!"

After clearing out the Honkai Beasts and zombies in the area, the woman with long, flame-colored hair issued orders.

Himiko, Kira Yoshikage's captain.

12 assassins and 3 assault-class Honkai Beasts—just the right number, enough to avoid attracting attention.

but......

"You've worked hard, boss!" Pado ran up to Yoshikage Kira and handed him a towel and water.

Sensing the envious or gratified looks from his teammates, Yoshikage Kira sighed.

'I don't want to attract attention, but...'

"Thank you, Paddy."

And the other side

"So boring! I want to find my assistant to play with!"

"Alright, don't cause any more trouble for your assistant."

"I miss my assistant on days I don't see him."

......

"Why is it dark?"

"Those are such thick dark clouds! Hey, Su, look, isn't there someone in the sky?"

Thick, dark clouds enveloped the sky like a black cloth, blocking out all sunlight. The only light came from the lightning that spewed from the clouds like divine punishment.

"Bang!" Thunder roared, announcing to the world the arrival of the Queen of Lightning!

The Honkai Impact came unexpectedly; the third Honkai Impact was more ferocious and intense than any before.

The Honkai was completely exposed to the world, and even the Fire Moth could no longer keep the news of the Honkai hidden.

"Boom!" Thunder roared outside the plane, but Yoshikage Kira remained unusually calm.

'Herrscher of Thunder, let's test your abilities on you.'

'Let's see if my Killer Queen can kill with a single blow.'

......

The Herrscher of Thunder possesses mastery of the electromagnetic force, one of the fundamental forces. If controlled properly, it can directly disintegrate all matter at the atomic level.

But the Herrscher of Thunder chose the simplest and most brutal method—using a sky full of lightning to bring despair to the people.

Under the immense power of nature, the steel and concrete of the city appear so fragile.

Unlike the previous two Herrschers, the Herrscher of Thunder only appeared for a few minutes before turning Canghai City into a living hell.

"Remember your mission! Avoid combat as much as possible, prioritize rescuing the people of Canghai City. That's all, dismissed!" After issuing the order, the red-haired beauty waved her hand, and the tactical squad quickly threw themselves into the rescue efforts in Canghai City.

Yoshikage Kira looked towards the area in the city where the Honkai energy was most concentrated, and identified his target.

"Alright, let's hurry up and rescue them." Looking at the girl who spoke, Yoshikage Kira still saw that signature smile, but anyone with eyes could feel the sadness in it.

In the original storyline, Alicia would have been placed under house arrest in the base due to the wise decision of the Firemoth's higher-ups.

[But you had Alicia use the excuse of testing Velvi's latest equipment to convince the higher-ups.]

[Considering the bizarre and varied equipment of Velvi, and to avoid unnecessary casualties, the leadership of the Firemoth compromised.]

The price you pay is that Vilvi needs an explanation from you afterwards.

Kira Yoshikage and Alicia searched for the Herrscher of Thunder while rescuing people in their field of vision.

"Are you alright? The Honkai energy concentration here is so high. Don't try to be a hero in front of Alicia just to save face."

Looking at the Honkai energy that could only adhere to the surface of his body, Yoshikage Kira nodded calmly, indicating that he was fine.

"Hmm... alright then, remember not to push yourself if you feel unwell." After checking on Yoshikage Kira, Alicia continued to focus on clearing the Honkai Beasts blocking her way.

.......

"We're almost there, it's just ahead."

Faced with Alicia's overwhelming power, the Honkai Beasts along the way could not hinder their progress at all, and soon, the Herrscher of Thunder was found.

"Hmph, so it's you two ants who are hunting down my people."

"They deserve to die!" The proud Queen of Thunder focused her gaze on Alicia and Yoshikage Kira, who had intruded into her territory. Instantly, a vast horde of Honkai Beasts surged toward the two of them like a tidal wave.

"Girls shouldn't say such rude things."

Raising her bow and arrow, Alicia fired at the Honkai Beast attacking the two of them.

"Don't worry about me, just focus on dealing with the Herrscher," Kira Yoshikage said to Alicia.

"Then you'd better be careful, or some people will come after me," Alicia said without turning her head.

"Well then, please accept my heartfelt gift~" A crystal-clear pink arrow materialized on Alicia's bow and arrow, and then shot towards the Herrscher of Thunder at an extremely fast speed.

"Hmph, a mere trick." The Herrscher of Thunder sneered, but the arrows in front of her were not broken down like the bullets and cannonballs before, but flew straight toward her.

"What!" Seeing that her ability was ineffective, the Herrscher of Thunder showed a hint of panic on her face, but it only lasted for a moment.

She conjured a katana made of lightning in her hand and blocked Alicia's arrow.

"Oh dear, I didn't manage to take you down in one shot."

"Hmph, what a boastful statement."

On the other side, Yoshikage Kira easily dealt with the Honkai Beasts charging towards him.

'Even my Killer Queen can instantly kill a Temple-class Honkai Beast.'

Looking at the Herrscher of Thunder descending from the sky to engage in close combat with Alicia, Yoshikage Kira knew his chances were slim.

If you can't instantly kill a Herrscher, you will die.

But if he cannot instantly kill the Herrscher, then the fate of this era will be as he foresaw—destruction.

'Power is necessary for a peaceful life.'

Kira Yoshikage drew his pistol and fired at the Herrscher of Thunder. Seeing that she blocked the bullet with her knife instead of eliminating it directly, he knew that his chance had come.

"Annoying bugs." The Herrscher of Thunder temporarily repelled Alicia.

Seeing the Herrscher of Lightning charging towards him, Yoshikage Kira showed no reaction, simply standing calmly in place.

The Herrscher of Thunder rushed over, grabbed Yoshikage Kira by the neck, and raised her sword.

"No!" Alicia's pupils contracted sharply when she saw Yoshikage Kira being lifted up.

"Fool, Killer Queen, First Bomb." A calm voice came from Yoshikage Kira's mouth.

The anticipated scene of the sword piercing through Yoshikage Kira's body did not occur.

The Herrscher of Thunder's blade landed in mid-air, but her body suddenly exploded and disappeared, with only the Herrscher Core falling from where she had been.

Alice, unaware of what had happened, sat frozen in place, staring in disbelief at the scene before her.

"Eh?"
