Where is the third collapse? ! !

God have mercy on me. The little AI is definitely not mocking its host.

When all members of the Far East Branch were wanted, Fu Li took in the seriously injured and dying Kiana right under the nose of Tianming. By doing this, he was basically gambling with his life!

Not to mention that he was raised plump and white by the girl. If it were a martial arts fantasy version, it would be unacceptable if he didn't passively pledge his love to her!

"We all came from Changkong City, so we should support each other. Others won't get this treatment here." Fu Li didn't think he was being naive. "And it's not just me. Other survivors, like Mei Raiden and Bronya, are also very nice to me."

Prometheus expressed his interest upon hearing about unlocking a new character.

"Nothing much to say. They're just the two survivors from Changkong City who joined Saint Freya with Kiana. I've met them a few times during missions. When they heard I had also escaped from Changkong City's third collapse, they were incredibly enthusiastic."

"How passionate is that?"

"Bronya often teaches me her best hacking techniques. If I have any difficult problems with the dark web, she will help me solve them without hesitation. Mei is even more enthusiastic. She even gave me the ancient family sword technique 'Hokushin Itto-ryu' for free."

At this point, Fu Li revealed a regretful expression: "It's a pity that I have no talent at all in hacking. For various reasons, I only learned the basics of swordsmanship."

"It seems that the host is quite popular with girls."

Prometheus was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

"Unfortunately, this is not a good thing."

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Fu Li, who was still reminiscing about the past just now, suddenly had a gloomy face.

After years of ups and downs, Fu Li rarely showed such drastic emotional fluctuations, but every time he recalled those damned Babar people, he couldn't help but want to draw his sword and chop something to vent his anger.

"The Ruler of Herr Sceptre..."

......

After Kiana left without saying goodbye, Fu Li continued his life as a widower.

His strength also increased steadily during the training, and soon he was only one step away from the critical point.

Normally, after a period of self-accumulation, Fu Li will evolve from the A-level of "willfully rewriting the surrounding environment during combat" to the critical level of "critical fighting, redrawing the map".

However, just like the weird little countries and hardcore ruthless people who were selected into the Tongliao series, now that things have come to this, it is definitely impossible without any accidents.

Fu Li was kidnapped by a group of small puppets who called themselves the Rabble.

It sounds shameful, but it's actually not shameful at all.

A mob, the Herrscher of True Names, the tenth Herrscher in the current civilization sequence, with thousands of independent clones, an S-level extraordinary and heaven-defying existence.

For them, not to mention that Fu Li was only A-level at the time, even if he was critical, they could easily tie him up.

S-level and below S-level are two completely different concepts. The former has transcended the sea of ​​suffering, while the latter still has to struggle among all living beings.

However, the question is, since the gap between the two sides is so huge, why would the Ruler of Rule want to kidnap Fu Li, a small fry who can kill a large number of minions with just a wave of his hand?

The answer is simple.

His eyes revealed a bone-chilling coldness like ten thousand years of ice. He rubbed the slightly cold blade of the Crescent Moon and said indifferently: "Their purpose in capturing me is to use my life to threaten their enemies."

"Well!!!"

The driver in the bus seat suddenly felt a chill. He touched the back of his neck where the hairs stood on end, and glanced back suspiciously through the rearview mirror.

A young woman holding a child was comforting the crying baby, while a man in a suit on the other side was dozing off drowsily against the glass.

Several workers were playing cards together. The old lady noticed the driver's gaze and responded with a kind smile. Everything seemed so peaceful and prosperous.

Illusion?

Without thinking much about it, he turned up the temperature of the car's air conditioner a little.

Breath blocking is a byproduct of cultivating the immortal path. It is a special skill that can conceal and cut off one's own breath and perform covert actions.

The initial level is D, and it will continue to upgrade as one practices the human immortal path.

As a status skill, Fu Li can actively control the opening and closing of breath blocking.

And the energy consumption of this skill is so low that until now, no one has noticed that there is a person holding a cool-looking baseball bat at the end of the bus.

It's a pity that the D-level skill has its limits after all. At least it failed to completely cover up the murderous aura that Fu Li suddenly burst out just now, so that it frightened the baby in the pregnant woman's arms.

"Herrs of Domination, capture the host... to threaten others?"

The baby's cry and Prometheus' whispers calmed Fu Li down, and he calmed down his murderous intent: "Yes, just capture me and threaten me."

"When I first heard this news from that rabble, I thought they were just joking. With my interpersonal relationships where my friends are happy and my enemies are even quicker, who could they threaten if they arrested me?"

"Host, this is not something you can say with pride..."

The little AI held his forehead with his hand, but soon thought of something.

She tentatively asked, "Could it be that the Ruler of Herrscher is trying to threaten Miss Kiana through the host?"

This is a very logical guess. The famous Russian playwright Chekhov once proposed a very famous Chekhov's gun theory:

If there's a gun hanging on the wall at the beginning of the film, it will definitely go off by the end.

Similarly, since Fu Li has been talking about Kiana for so long, she must appear at a crucial point.

The boy's subsequent answer also confirmed Prometheus's guess.

"That's right! Those damned scum covered my eyes with a black cloth, gagged me, and took me, defenseless, to a realm constructed by the power of the Herrscher, an alternate dimension known as the Theater of Domination."

"That's where I heard Kiana's voice... the voice of Kiana who had reached S-rank."

"S-rank?"

"Yes, that's right, S-rank!"

Even though he had experienced many storms, Fu Li's tone still revealed a bit of absurdity and disbelief.

"God knows how that guy even managed to level up. He was slaughtering the mob with a broken crimson sword... I vaguely heard someone helping him."

Under normal circumstances, for a person like Fu Li, even if his vision is blocked, it will not delay his judgment of the battle situation too much.

It was a pity that, probably in order to add some dramatic effect, the puppets with a bad taste used some small tricks to block most of his perception of the battlefield.

With the help of her companions, Kiana quickly wiped out most of the puppet army and headed straight for the real bodies of the mob.

So at this moment - clang clang!

The beautiful Fu Li, who was coerced by the evil party, made a grand appearance in front of everyone!

His condition at that time was by no means miserable, and the puppets treated him quite well.

This is the Sky King bomb that can be used to reverse the situation at the critical moment. Of course they have to protect it well to prevent him from getting into any accidents.

But just because the condition isn't miserable doesn't mean the appearance is decent.

Wearing the same eye mask as your boss isn't too much, right? And wearing the same tights isn't too much either, right?

As expected by the puppets, the moment she saw Fu Li, Kiana's heart was shaken, even more than they had imagined!

Come to think of it, from Kiana's perspective:

A boy from a foreign country pursued himself to the Far East alone, encountered the Third Collapse, a catastrophe that was so fatal that even his fate was changed; after the last lesson, the boy took his suicidal self back home and took good care of him, but when he recovered, he didn't even say hello - or rather, he turned around and left without daring to say hello!

The most important thing is that Fu Li's purpose is all in the name of Kiana Kaslana. He has been pursuing Kiana Kaslana from beginning to end.

But what about me? I am not!

He was never the Kiana Kaslana who had made an agreement with him since childhood. He was just an experimental subject K423 who had taken over his position!

Shamelessly occupying the other person's identity as Bai Yueguang, but time and again using this appearance and words to hurt and disappoint him, this already made Kiana feel extremely guilty. And now, Herrscher of Domination, you bastard, actually dared to push Ali out as a shield?

I am going to kill you!

I’m gonna fucking kill you ahh ...

And so, naturally, a flaw appeared in the flawless state of mind of the Herrscher of the Fire.

The Ruler's body seized this opportunity and used the invisible thread containing the power of domination to hang up the reckless girl!

The Herrscher had already made sufficient preparations, and the thread containing all the remaining strength broke the skin on Kiana's neck in the blink of an eye!

"will die!"

Whether it was Kiana who reacted or other people watching the game, these words emerged in their minds!

“We will win!”

The mob couldn't help but burst into laughter, or rather, they had already done so, but the speed at which laughter spread was far slower than the lightning-fast movement on the battlefield!

However, no one could have imagined that at this most critical moment, a sacrifice that was ignored by no one changed everything.

When a person's pride and everything are broken, when he finds that he has become a burden that holds him back.

No matter how normal he looks, he will get angry.

Fu Li stretched out his right hand and slowly clenched it.

"I broke through at that moment, the seventh turn, reaching the critical point."

The Unparalleled Nine Turns was created by Su Mei, the unparalleled fairy among the Seven Swords of Taixu, a disciple of the Red Kite Immortal, and Ma Fei Ma, the Sword Master. Its content has little to do with the Taixu Sword Qi that served as a reference.

Use the Dantian as a medicine guide and the meridians as a medicine cauldron to guide the true qi (collapse energy) to flow throughout the body, strengthening the body and organs.

There are nine levels of internal energy, known as the Nine Transformations;

Every time you break through a level, you will be reborn and your skills will improve greatly.

(The above is from the official visual novel of Honkai Impact 3rd, Shenzhou Zhejianlu)

This is the skill given to Fu Li by the person who led him to the collapse side.

Fu Li's martial arts skills had broken through, and his last shortcoming, physical fitness, had been improved. His overall evaluation had finally reached a critical point.

That’s right, Critical couldn’t cause any waves in the battle between S-class players.

But it also depends on the status of both sides.

More than 90% of the puppet clones were destroyed, and the battle continued to a white-hot level. The remaining power was used to imprison Kiana and others who destroyed the puppet clones.

Even if he is just a small Fu Li, he can turn the world upside down at such a critical moment.

"I killed all the remaining Dominion puppets and then walked up to Kiana," he said. "I wanted to kill her."

"?"

"Please, Prometheus, that's the Ruler of Rule." Fu Li half-closed his eyes and complained, "I was tied up by them the whole way. It's normal for my mind and body to be secretly tampered with, right?"

The little AI said, "Host, what you said makes a lot of sense and I am speechless."

Other Herrschers might not bother to do such a thing, but you want to dominate that slave girl?

That's totally normal!

What happened next was very simple. Fu Li's mind was full of "Kill Honkai, kill Honkai, typing is so tiring, kill Honkai, kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!!!" He felt his body burning and his mind was in a trance. When he opened his eyes again after being stabbed to the bone, he could already hear the landlady's infuriating banging on the door.

......

Chapter 18 "The weak draw their swords and strike at the weaker ones"

With a "swish", the bus door in front of Fu Li slowly closed.

Fu Li watched the bus leave, glanced at the bus stop beside him, tightened his backpack, and headed southwest according to his memory.

"The breath blocking is indeed useful, but it's a bit frustrating that I almost missed my stop."

Why did you almost miss your stop?

His presence was so low that the driver didn't even notice he was in the car.

Fu Li complained in a boastful tone, but after a while he didn't get a response from the little AI.

"Prometheus?"

"...Yeah, I'm here."

Prometheus came back to his senses from his reverie.

Fu Li's words just now were simple, but in her mind, there was the dark and gloomy Domination Theater, Kiana hanging in the air by invisible threads, Fu Li who transformed into a beast and killed crazily, and finally Fu Li who stood in front of Kiana with tearful eyes, roaring and suppressing his murderous intent, letting her stab the Fire Flame Greatsword into his chest with tearful eyes.

Simulated by the top-grade soul steel chip from the previous era, every scene is vivid.

"Host, don't you blame Miss Kiana?"

Finally, she couldn't help but ask the question.

"Ah? Blame her?" Fu Li was stunned. "Oh, you mean when Lelehehe was running forward and was suddenly taken hostage?"
