The Collapse Begins in Changkong City

After a dizzying spin, I opened my eyes. "Am I... am I back?"

I saw this familiar yet unfamiliar metal room. I became alert. "Something's not right. This shouldn't be St. Freya, but why does it feel so familiar?"

I began to ponder the current situation.

The door clicked open.

A figure rushed in and hugged me.

"Theresa, what happened to you? Why do you look so haggard? And where am I?" I asked Theresa, who was hugging me, with a confused look on my face.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she asked me, "Wang Tang, you bad guy, why did you faint in the hospital room?"

"Do you know how worried we were when someone found you lying on the ground?"

"Okay, Theresa, don't cry. Look, I've recovered now." I tried my best to comfort Theresa.

"Hmph, how heartbroken we were when the medical staff examined you and said you might become a vegetable," Theresa said with great concern.

"Theresa, what's our situation now? And where are we?" I asked Theresa, somewhat confused.

Theresa said heavily, "Kiana was captured by my grandfather. We tried to rescue Kiana, but she became the Herrscher of the Void."

Theresa clenched her fists and said, "We were defeated by Kiana, who became the Herrscher of the Void, and now Himeko is also missing."

After listening to Theresa's account, I roughly understood the current situation.

Just as I remembered, Theresa pressed me down, saying, "Your physical condition isn't very good right now, you should rest some more."

"No, Theresa, I need to go save Kiana now." I was about to remove Theresa's small hand from my hand.

Theresa slapped him across the face. "Can't you be a little more mature? Mei is seriously injured and Himeko is missing. Do you want me to watch you go and die?"

Looking at Theresa, whose eyes were red, I said gently...

"Theresa, there are some things we have to do. If I stop now, I will definitely regret it someday."

“Regret for not doing that thing back then will cause me pain for the rest of my life. Now that I'm going, even if I fail, I won't regret my decision, so please let me go.”

Upon hearing my words, Theresa wavered. She took a deep breath, exhaled, took another deep breath, and exhaled again. With a choked voice, she said, "I agree to let you go, but..."

"But what?" I asked anxiously.

"But you must come back alive from this mission."

"I promise you, I will definitely come back alive." Wang Tang said this very seriously.

“Then come with me.” Theresa stood up and walked towards the door.

After hearing Theresa's permission, I quickly put on my shoes and followed behind Theresa.

"Theresa, where are we going?" I asked Theresa, puzzled.

“We’ll go get the Valkyrie armor for you,” Theresa said calmly.

"That's not right, isn't it? I remember Schicksal didn't have a Valkyrie armor that suits me?" Wang Tang was even more confused.

"I begged my grandfather for a long time before he finally got you this armor set," Theresa said to me, somewhat angrily, explaining how amazing the armor set was.

I was deeply moved and secretly wrote this down.

Upon reaching the door, Theresa entered the password and opened it.

"Is this...is this prepared for me?" I asked Theresa, my voice trembling.

"Hmph~ Of course I'm here. I originally wanted to give this to you for your birthday, but something unexpected happened, so I'm giving it to you ahead of time."

Wang Tang looked at this armor that seemed incredibly cool to her.

Wang Tang reached out and stroked the armor, then suddenly asked Theresa, as if remembering something, "By the way, Theresa, what's the name of this armor?"

"This Valkyrie armor doesn't have a name yet, why don't you give it one?" Theresa seemed to be looking forward to hearing what name I would come up with.

Wang Tang started thinking about what a good name to give it. "Let's call it Crimson Flame," she said.

"Red Flame, isn't that a rather casual name?" Theresa grabbed my collar and shook me incessantly.

After being shaken by Theresa for a while, she said, "Theresa... Theresa, stop shaking me, or I'm going to throw up."

"Don't vomit on me!" Theresa quickly let go of his hand and said.

"Just kidding, how could I possibly throw up like that?" I said to Theresa with a laugh.

"Fine, I'm not going to hold it against you. Go ahead and give it a try."

"it is good"

"Crimson Flame is really good. I feel like I can beat several Theresas now," I said jokingly.

"Stop joking around, time is of the essence, we need to get to the command center right away." Theresa became serious.

"Um"

After a few minutes

The two arrived at the command room. "What's Bronya's situation now?" Theresa asked Bronya seriously.

Bronya said expressionlessly, "Headmistress, we just received a communication from Major Himeko."

Theresa was very excited when she heard the name Himeko. "What did Himeko say in the communication?"

"Benarus attacked our ships just now, but fortunately, Major Himeko appeared in time and drove Benares away. However, the Major was suddenly teleported away."

"We can't contact the major right now," Bronya said dejectedly after recounting what had just happened.

Theresa paced anxiously back and forth, when she suddenly noticed that the place where she had been standing was now empty.

Bronya noticed Theresa's confusion. "Headmistress, Brother Wang Tang left while I was talking."

"That bastard!" Theresa stomped her foot angrily.

Hyperion

"I must go faster," I began to mobilize the remaining Void Law power in my body.

I opened one illusory portal after another.

I searched for Himeko's presence.

After my relentless efforts, I finally found Himeko's aura. After closing all the illusory portals, Wang Tang concentrated the power of the Void Herrscher and opened a real spatial portal.

Wang Tang hurriedly rushed into the portal.

When Wang Tang entered, he discovered that Himeko was falling into the Sea of ​​Particles.

I flew quickly to Himeko's side and hugged her.

"I never thought I'd be able to see your fantasy before I die. How wonderful! Wang Tang, I really love you. It's a pity I'm already gone." Himeko mumbled these words in a daze.

Wang Tang never expected Ji Zi to say these things to her: "Don't worry, you won't die."

Wang Tang opened another portal.

Without thinking twice, they went straight inside, but the Herrscher core on Himeko's chest suddenly fell off before she entered the portal.

After seeing this, Wang Tang ignored where the Herrscher Core would go.

Wang Tang suddenly found herself in the sky.

"Why is it the sky?" Wang Tang immediately took flight.

Three minutes later, Wang Tang finally landed.

"Where have I been teleported to? I look at the endless grassland in front of me."

"Never mind, never mind, let's save Himeko first." Wang Tang injected a dose of Honkai energy inhibitor into Himeko's back.
