Give Zongman some collapse shock

Seven days.

Facts have proved that the physiological limit comes before the human body limit.

Jiang Chen still couldn't resist the sleepiness and accidentally bumped into a wolf-shaped monster. He fell asleep instantly against its soft fur.

I actually fell asleep in the dungeon. Doesn't that mean I've become a buffet for monsters?

It's so dangerous!

Yes, dangerous, for a dungeon.

The boundless Honkai energy finally lost its restraint, shattering the terrain of floors 35-39 in just a minute. The dungeon's counterattack mechanism was triggered, giving birth to special monsters. These special monsters were corroded into Honkai beasts, loyally guarding Jiang Chen.

Until Jiang Chen had a good sleep and opened his eyes lazily.

What caught his eye was the magic crystal stones that had been cleared by the Honkai Beast for a day and a night, piled up into a small hill like a treasure offering.

There are both zeros and whole numbers, which is good.

The Honkai Beast also retained the attributes of a special monster, and it destroyed itself before Jiang Chen woke up.

All the finishing work is saved.

"...How many times has this happened? Why? Why? No matter how hard I try to commit suicide, why can't I die?" Jiang Chen collapsed.

When he saw the hill of magic crystals, there was something wrong in his eyes.

It seems like the past two months have been filled with life where I've had to face the magic crystal the moment I opened my eyes. It was there in the clan, and it was still there in the dungeon.

"Am I stuck in some weird cycle?"

"Hmm, what a coincidence, I seem to have fallen into a strange circle too."

A wormhole opened, and a white-haired girl walked out with a gloomy look.

"Kiana, why are you here?" Jiang Chen's tone was filled with worry.

He vaguely guessed the test the girl was going through.

"I guess you're here, and I suddenly miss you." Kiana hung her head.

This was the past. The white-haired boy would never show weakness in front of Jiang Chen. He was listless, emitting a gloomy aura, as if inviting: Come and bully me quickly.

"What's wrong? You look like you're traumatized and in urgent need of comfort? Come into big brother's arms and let me rub you." Jiang Chen showed a provocative smile.

Under normal circumstances, the white-haired dumpling would definitely be furious.

However at this moment...

"Well, anything is fine, so..."

042 Queen? Just a noob

Kiana nodded, her eyes fixed on the ground, and slowly walked towards Jiang Chen.

"Hey~ Hey, Kiana, if you want to seek comfort, you should go to Mei. Instead of playing the victim in front of Mei, you come towards me." Jiang Chen continued to provoke.

Perhaps he hoped that by playing around, the white-haired ball could return to its former self.

For some reason, he felt uncomfortable seeing Kiana like this.

"Yeah, I was just looking for you."

Kiana ignored him and walked straight to Jiang Chen, resting her forehead on his chest. She slowly raised her hands and hugged him, holding him tighter and tighter, as if trying to grab something.

She is a girl, a tsundere who cannot recognize her own feelings. She will never be frank in front of Jiang Chen and will never face her own feelings.

So, she wasn't here for comfort, she was...

With a little bit of force, she pushed Jiang Chen back until his backs touched the wall. The two of them dragged each other down and slid down to sit against the wall.

Even so, the two of them still hugged each other tightly, with an intimate posture.

But, there is an indescribable feeling of sadness.

"Whatever you want to do, punish me." said the girl.

She doesn't need comfort, she needs punishment.

Only in this way can we alleviate some of the guilt in our hearts.

However, will those feelings of guilt really be reduced by punishment?

"You know, right? Those things about Xilin." Jiang Chen sighed and slowed down his voice.

Kiana didn't say anything, but just moved in Jiang Chen's arms, as if nodding.

Now everything makes sense.

Just as Jiang Chen guessed.

He didn't know what Xilin was thinking, but in any case, she probably deceived Kiana.

As long as she accepted those memories and overcame the past, Kiana would definitely be able to achieve the feat of upgrading to Level 2. It was obvious that this method was feasible.

She admitted that she and Sirin were the same person, and that in the world of Collapse, during the second great collapse that everyone was afraid of, it was she, Sirin (Kiana), who had either personally or indirectly destroyed countless lives.

She even cut off the left arm of Siegfried, her stinky father who suddenly left and whom she had always blamed, with her own hands.

To admit it, to face it, and then to bear it, this is a miracle (great achievement) that even the gods would look at with admiration.

However, this was an unprecedented huge shock to Kiana, who had a high sense of morality.

Jiang Chen was surprised enough that the girl didn't get crushed by the guilt and sin in her heart, but ran to him to seek punishment (comfort).

"..."

Jiang Chen was silent for a long time.

He knew all this but didn't tell anyone, not even mentioning Xilin, because he was worried something like this might happen. He kept it a secret because he couldn't resolve it.

But I never thought that overprotection can also be a kind of harm.

Slowly, he raised his hand, placed it on Kiana's head, and stroked it gently.

"Kiana, you did great."

"...No, that's not it. What I want is...I am the one who must be punished. People like me, the crimes I...have committed..." Perhaps after brewing for a while, Kiana's voice became choked.

Jiang Chen lifted the girl's chin.

She didn't cry, but her blue eyes were dead and empty, like silent tears.

That is a despair that is sadder than crying.

She didn't think she had the right to cry after killing so many people. She wasn't a victim, but a perpetrator.

"It's okay, Kiana, you've done very well, you're great. You are a soul born as Kiana, she is Xilin, and you are Kiana." Jiang Chen paused.

He couldn't deceive them into thinking they were two people.

"No doubt, you have different beliefs and different persistence. Do you remember what I said when we first came into this world?"

“…” Kiana didn’t answer.

"I say, the weak pity themselves, the strong remain strong. If you can only witness tragedy, then you must not stop. Move forward, become stronger, gain greater power, so strong that you can undo everything and even reverse time."

Seeing that the girl's expression finally changed, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment.

The original hope was to inspire the girl and cheer her up.

For the first time, the girl looked so weak and lovable in front of him.

His heart couldn't help but soften.

Turning all her sins into responsibilities, given Kiana's personality, she should mature in an instant, then become madly stronger without regard for her life. Would that still be the Kiana he knew? That kind of growth was too cruel.

"We will eventually become stronger. If you can't, then I will bear everything you have."

"...Yeah." After a while, Kiana responded softly, "I'll try my best too."

"Okay, let's get stronger together." Jiang Chen sighed in his heart: "Kiana is stupid, stupid people don't think too much, get stronger, and then leave everything to me."

I briefly sensed the [Gift] and realized there was no chance of upgrading. I'd only accumulated half of my Great Deeds. But I'd comforted Kiana, so it wasn't a loss. Next, it was the next person's turn.

"Celine."

"Heh~Human." The girl raised her eyes again.

Reflecting Jiang Chen's figure were a pair of golden eyes.

Xilin didn't push Jiang Chen away immediately, but maintained an ambiguous posture with a sarcastic expression: "What? Do you think I'm as easy to fool as that idiot?"

She really wanted to know what kind of sweet words Jiang Chen would use to persuade her.

She is different from Kiana.

Kindness from others only reminds you of your past stupidity.

So she hated, hated herself, hated humanity, hated everything.

Once upon a time, she was very foolish and naive. When her mother was seriously ill, in the freezing cold snow, she imagined that someone would come to help her.

What did she wait for in the end?

They are a group of demons disguised as friendly people.

Those who claimed to be the chosen ones, under the guise of rescue, imprisoned her and her companions in the Tower of Babylon for human experiments. No matter how she cried, begged for help, or pleaded, those demons only coldly recorded the data, watching her like an animal, waiting for the day when she could no longer bear it and became discarded.

She endured the pain and fear, and prayed to God like her mother.

What did she get?

Companions died one after another, and the experiments became more cruel again and again.

"Prayers are useless. There's no one I can rely on. I can only rely on myself. When I become the strongest and can destroy everything, the hatred in my heart will stop!"

"Ah, yes, yes, you will become very strong." Jiang Chen just gave in and nodded repeatedly.

persuade?

Xilin had already expressed it with her eyes: I don’t want to listen! I don’t want to listen!

What's the point?

Instead of persuading Xilin to let go of her hatred, it would be better...

"Can you please stand up and talk first?" Jiang Chen showed an indescribable expression.

The Sky Queen had a look of arrogance and mockery on her face, but her body said something else. She hugged her even harder than Kiana, rubbing against her.

If I don't tell you anything, you can do whatever you want?

"I... cough! Human, don't be too greedy. Just accept my reward quietly." Xilin blushed.

It’s impossible to get up, it’s too comfortable.

Looking at Xilin like this, Jiang Chen suddenly understood how to convince this guy.

"Excuse me, how is Kiana now?"

"Heh~ That useless idiot, she just couldn't stand accepting 'her' memories and has fallen into a deep sleep. As long as I wish, she will never wake up again."

"So, she can't see outside, right? That's great."

"What are you doing...wait, you...stop it! Where are you putting your hand...ah..."

Ten minutes later, the persuasion was successful.

Xilin was limp.

Jiang Chen sneered: "Noob."

043 Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire

"Come, let's congratulate Kiana for becoming a Level 2 adventurer. Cheers!"

"cheers!"

As Jiang Chen started, the others raised their glasses and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
