Collapse, survive

How could Su possibly conclude that, among similar situations, the only similar person was Raiden Mei?

Fang Jieke's emotions were completely overwhelmed after hearing Kiana's self-introduction. Su, who had observed earlier and more comprehensively than Destiny, could not be wrong.

Su was unable to observe the world bubble derived from Fang Jie. After all, how could one observe something that didn't exist? It was all nothingness. Even Fang Jie... Su's spirit couldn't deeply observe it. It was a dark, empty, and void outline. However, by piecing together the appearance of that dark outline from what others saw and heard, Su could see more similarities.

Mature yet childish, sentimental yet indifferent, brave yet reckless, and a self-proclaimed selfish and hopeless scoundrel, seemingly indifferent to everything, yet suddenly fanatically targeting one thing, and able to become incredibly strong in a short time—these are the qualities of a hero!

So Izumo's single strike, which ended in nothingness, also severed Kevin's connection.

"The history of Izumo should have been a flowing river, but now it has been severed by a single stroke. All the past and future have vanished into the empty other side. Humans, gods, swords, demons... all are nowhere to be found."

Su continued recounting the story to Durandal, feeling sorrowful. She had already discerned what kind of story it was; it was all too similar. If Raiden Mei, Kevin, and Fang Jie were so familiar with Kiana, Himeko, Theresa, Durandal, even Fu Hua, even herself…

Why does he favor this world?

Sue wouldn't tell Durandal that it was too early, far too early. They were still so young; how could they step into such a future?

But he could tell that Fang Jie had some expectations of her.

That was by no means an expectation of liking or revering 'Raiden Mei'. He did not expect the current civilization to move towards a future where 'Raiden Mei' would wield a sword, even if that ended all the tragedy.

Even if she wins, even if she wins completely... she will defeat the entire Honkai, the Herrscher, and the End!

That would undoubtedly be a worse plan than Kevin's Stigmata Project.

You too are hope, Durandal, no, Kiana.

“Durandal, go forth, break free from this illusion that will eventually come to an end, and return to the world of clarity—where we will all find a glimmer of hope.”

Durandal is an honest person, but that doesn't mean she likes this kind of mysterious, riddle-like instruction, just like the bishop's. In fact, she hates it the most.

To summarize the intelligence: the aliens are from Izumo, they have about twelve swords, and they may even be capable of destroying a planet with a single strike.

"I understand. I will defeat Fang Jie and stop all of this."

Su Du fell silent at Durandal's distillation. It was very insightful. Yes, it was correct. If you could do it, you could defeat Fang Jie, who was very likely to possess the twelve Herrscher powers.

"I will do it, I can do it, I must do it."

The young female knight embodied the heroic qualities that Su was familiar with.

……

……

"Is it enough to just deal with her?"

The full moon had already disappeared, and dawn had not yet broken. In the darkest hour before sunrise, a figure, like a ghost and draped in a black cloak resembling bird wings, quietly entered this hidden base and reconfirmed the target's appearance.

Beneath the cloak, her serpentine, rose-red eyes stared at 'Cocolia'. With a slight smirk, she silently dismissed the image projected into her pupils. 'Snake's' command was to give her a warning and then leave, and to find out exactly what was wrong.

"Honestly, I was on vacation and had my eye on a nice little island, but they didn't even pay me overtime."

It was a low-paying job that she hated, but a job is a job.

—Natasha Ciora.

A member of World Serpent, codenamed Raven, is a renowned figure in the mercenary world. He has consistently held the top spot on the mercenary rankings, known as the "Charon List," and is famous worldwide alongside assassins such as Ural Silver Wolf and Dark Rose. He also operates alt accounts like "Serpent Feather," occupying several high-ranking positions and dominating the leaderboards with remarkable intensity.

Today, she came here.

The target is Cocolia, the anti-entropy executor.

"Easy, will be done quickly."

Chapter 73 Dodo Dodo: Frustrated, crying, rolling around on the ground.

As dawn approached, a light drizzle began to fall.

Fang Jie had no opinion on the rain, neither liking nor disliking it; he simply knew that the evening rain would eventually fall.

Spain is very self-disciplined, and is basically the first one to wake up every day. Recently, she has been doing rehabilitation runs, which has made Kiana unable to sleep in late. She also has to participate in Spain's rehabilitation.

Raiden Mei, after being begged by Kiana, had no choice but to agree and join the morning practice.

Well done, Spain.

We need to get her involved, urge her to work hard, and let her settle down.

otherwise……

In a few years, she will pass away.

Fang Jie felt no envy, jealousy, or hatred. Instead, he began to enjoy Ji Zi and her home exclusively, which were now his own.

Under the gloomy sky, a light rain was falling, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The room outside Himeko's, which he regarded as his new home, was now open to him.

Himeko's salary isn't high, barely enough to keep her alive; but it's not low either, as the maintenance costs for an aircraft carrier or a fighter jet don't even compare to the maintenance costs for an A-rank Valkyrie.

In other words, as St. Freya Academy, this place doesn't make any special exceptions; otherwise, why would Himeko's house just be a detached villa with a surrounding yard?

It has to be at least a big villa!

The villa's style isn't Far Eastern, but rather Western, like a castle, with features like the openwork iron gate in the courtyard and the surrounding walls. Kiana probably used this place to practice her skills when skipping class.

The view from the inside out is excellent, overlooking the entire area. This layout allows two machine guns to be set up to seal off both the inside and outside, naturally allowing people to see the situation inside the courtyard clearly. The scenery is quite nice, with lush green lawns covering everything except the roads, offering little obstruction.

The entire villa looks exceptionally solid, giving one a sense of security.

Himeko felt insecure and didn't want to stay by the door.

All that could be heard was a charming voice pleading, "Don't stay at the door, go away quickly."

Fang Jie readily accepted the advice, patted his chest in agreement, and left with his head bowed and hair disheveled.

From the right side of the door, there is a passage about two meters wide between the wall and the villa.

It was spacious enough for two people to walk side by side, let alone the fact that they were walking one in front of the other.

It's also very tall, so you don't need to bend over.

But Himeko likes to bend over.

Fang Jie also likes it.

“It’s great, except for your room, it feels very homey.”

"Heh, now I have my own room too."

That's terrible, really terrible. Shouldn't you be cleaning the room? That's how it's always portrayed in anime—a naive young man moves into an older woman's apartment and starts working as a cleaner, cook, and manager...

However, Fang Jie was lazy and only kept urging her on.

They eventually returned to their room, to the bathroom with floor-to-ceiling mirrored walls—a new and interesting design.

Fang Jie began to look forward to summer, imagining building a small swimming pool in the yard or eating watermelon in the corridor, instantly bringing back the feeling of being in a comic book.

"I can not make it."

The usually tough Himeko Murata finally begged for mercy, her soft voice drifting over.

To be honest, from the outside, Himeko's villa gives the impression of being as solid as a fortress, like a castle.

The original owner must have been very insecure.

So the three little ones living here seem to like it quite a bit.

But when Fang Jie invaded the interior, he only saw a mess, a bedroom that resembled a storage room, where only Ji Zi understood where things were placed.

She hadn't slept well for a long time, waking up in pain every midnight, or staying at the Hyperion Hospital or in a ward.

Returning to this 'home' is nothing more than taking care of the three little ones.

Until Fang Jie forcefully made her become virtuous...

It's not fair to call them rude and barbaric; it's more accurate to say they were wielding whips.

"Wow~"

The room was even more humid than when it was drizzling. The water vapor fogged up the mirror wall, and the way her fiery red hair was disheveled and trembling made it look as if a flame was burning on it.

Fang Jie finally let her go, bending down close and asking, "What would you like for breakfast?"

"I don't want to eat, I just want to sleep."

"Still sleeping? The monster is coming to get you."

Fang Jie grinned, but Ji Zi rolled her eyes at him.

"Seriously."

She's on vacation, why isn't she getting a good night's sleep instead of continuing to work so hard?

"Alright alright."

Fang Jie helped her dry off, fetched a bath towel, and cared for her with the same meticulous attention as a patient, making no attempt to hide his affection and infatuation.

Himeko fled in panic, struggling to escape the embrace, and hid under the covers, becoming one with the bed, determined not to be separated.

According to an ancient covenant, once a person crawls into bed, the ghosts cannot intervene; violating this covenant will surely incur divine retribution.

Fang Jie was stunned by her combination of attack and defense, and felt deceived.

"What are you looking at? You should leave."

Himeko rolled her eyes at him again, then decisively pulled the brand-new, silky blanket over herself, covering herself completely, not even her neck.

“The esteemed alien Mr. Fang Jie, you should leave now. If you continue, Theresa will surely come to kill you.”

"Here to deliver?"

Fang Jie ruthlessly retorted, "I can do whatever I want, do you understand?"

"Don't bully Theresa."

Himeko answered with a serious expression, which, to be honest, was more like an encouragement.

Fang Jie smiled and said, "Alright, I won't bully you."

He had told Himeko that he would only fall in love with a woman who was one in ten thousand years old. She neither thought it was an exaggeration nor was she surprised; she simply accepted it calmly.

It's perfectly normal to appreciate and like each other, and love at first sight is never a rare thing.

Shi Tianwu...

Oh no, Chen Tianwu is not an isolated case in this cruel world. The vast majority of people do not end up as good examples, and Fang Jie is just one of them.

He really liked Himeko Murata and never hid it from the fact.

……

……

Raven's breakfast today seems particularly lavish, with lobster, crab, eel, vegetables, and more—a total of six meat dishes and six vegetable dishes.

Cocolia also placed a bottle of expensive wine and two brand-new wine glasses on the table, inviting her to watch her dine.

"Gu, kill me."

Raven remained defiant to the death, cursing the 'snake' in his heart. This is why the anti-entropy executor you mentioned is acting strangely and requires me, an 'S' level, to issue a warning.

I can go to yours.

If it wasn't just a warning, why would she choose to infiltrate and take her out from eight kilometers away? Wouldn't it have been better to just shoot her out from eight kilometers away?

The raven stealthily crept in, standing behind her. Its sharp claws struck Cocolia's neck with lightning speed, preparing for a bloody confrontation, to instill some serpentine power in this restless and unusual collaborator…

As a result, he was elbowed to the ground, captured, and subjected to a brutal ordeal.

“Kill you? No, that would be too wasteful, Miss Natasha.”

Cocolia stared at Natasha before her. With the hood removed, Natasha looked exactly like the Natasha in Cocolia's memory.

Fang Jie had great respect for that lady.

Out of affection for her, Cocolia lifted the ice seal on her and treated the prisoner well.

Otherwise, a cute girl ice cube would be nice too.

Raven's sharp eyes told her that Cocolia wasn't looking at her at all; her politeness...

In short, I probably won't die.

“I will not betray you. As your collaborator, you should know the power of the ‘serpent,’ Cocolia. Don’t waste your time.”
