Collapse, survive

The Black Tower gave him the same level of warmth as Himeko at the beginning, but now it doesn't even compare.

And that's what made him wary...

Better to be in the Yellow Springs.

This is like Hoshino and March 7th being afraid that Himeko is cooking but there isn't a good dish. It's all in their imagination. Maybe when they actually encounter it, it will taste delicious, or at least it will be special.

He thought this way, longing for the encounter, and compared to that, the little black tower seemed laughable.

"Watch closely, Black Tower, this is my specialty."

Fang Jie clapped his hands lightly, signaling her to keep an eye on herself.

Regarding teleportation, warp, and jump...

No two abilities are exactly alike in the world.

Even though both abilities create flames, a closer analysis reveals that they are achieved through completely different theories: 'plasma control' and 'temperature control'. These two abilities can achieve the same effect, but they diverge in certain aspects—'plasma control' can create lightning, while temperature control can reverse the process and create frost.

From a completely objective perspective, even two abilities that are extremely similar must have differences, just as everyone has different fingerprints. No two souls are the same, and no two abilities in the world have ever been exactly the same.

However, Fang Jie was certain that his 'teleportation' did not traverse in terms of stars or galaxies. It even broke through the terrifying imaginary torrent of the solar system and the world that was still absorbing Honkai energy, opening up a possible route to the forbidden zone, the Supreme Second Honkai, a world without trees and seas.

Hidden there is the story of the initial Honkai and the [god] who defeated it.

Within the Milky Way, there is a mutual force that integrates into the universe, balancing all things.

And Kiana...

So what unit did you teleport?

--【world】

Or perhaps.

——【Worldview】

This cannot be described or compared to concepts such as interfering with matter, dominating energy, controlling the soul, or manipulation. It rises to the level of a philosophical concept, and the deeper one delves, the more confused one becomes.

All of Fang Jie's subsequent progress is built upon this fundamental 'superpower'.

So what are superpowers?

Fang Jie does not adhere to the categorization of Lawgivers' powers and destiny abilities, but rather contrasts them with the cornerstones that constitute the world:

One type of matter: matter in the imaginary or real world, manifested as fossils turning into mud, manipulating steel, controlling trees, and even creating vortexes... Any ability that can 'directly influence the material world through its power' can be categorized into this type, including the enhancement of one's own power.

Secondly, energy: refers to the methods of manipulating energy that does not exist in a physical entity or mass, such as creating magnetic fields, manipulating lightning and even fire... All abilities that can interfere with, create, or control energy are categorized here.

Thirdly, the soul: refers to the control of the mind and soul, interfering with and manipulating the consciousness and thoughts of people or animals to achieve the effect of hypnosis or command.

Theresa's favorite dish, Feather Dust, is especially classic. It's almost like a sorcery, capable of brainwashing, modifying memories, creating false memories, or even creating virtual personalities, or even more shockingly, interfering with the soul.

Combined with other abilities, it's not uncommon to achieve the miracle of 'resurrecting the dead' within a short period of time after death; even knowledgeable people would give it a thumbs up.

The fourth concept, yes, it's a concept. This category can only influence and affect things that are intangible, like rules.

The power of the Lawgiver, the ability of destiny, allows the Lawgiver to act on behalf of a certain path of the Star God, or even the Star God himself.

In short, how can one categorize their abilities?

Fang Jie didn't care about getting an immediate answer; he simply asked questions, not even giving the Black Tower time to continue its strange tests.

Then it disappeared.

Silently, right before the Black Tower's eyes, he vanished just like the Star Core Spirit who had abandoned him before, but clearly the Star Core Spirit was about to suffer a terrible fate.

"What about people?"

Black Tower Kid rarely showed surprise.

She also planned to give Fang Jie a more detailed package of tests, which would last for a week under the care of the professional Ms. Heita.

The process involves detailed examinations, including blood pressure, blood type, bone marrow sampling, ability analysis, and verification by a team of seven Black Tower doll experts. Only then can a detailed result, which is not guaranteed to be safe or reliable, be provided.

Don't worry, I won't tear you to pieces and send you back. I guarantee I'll put you back together. Congratulations!

However, the solution disappeared, not even in any place she knew, but in an unknown domain.

"Interesting, very interesting, extremely interesting."

In that instant, light shone in her eyes, beginning to reverse the torrent of time, trying to freeze that moment and bring him back.

Can't do it!

I can't even find the solution to that moment; I can only recall from my memory the outline of him that seemed to blend all the colors of the world together, encompassing everything...

It is light!

A new test subject could lead to a breakthrough in a completely new field. Black Tower was already considering binding him to a space station—no, to a border planet—to spend his life being watched by various researchers, and then being abandoned by her when she lost interest, thus ending his life.

It's cruel. To be abandoned by myself, to never again receive the pity of someone as beautiful, as talented, as wise as myself, what meaning is there in life? Of course, it's all over.

Black Tower felt that what he had done was incredibly cruel.

But there's nothing I can do; that's just the kind of extraordinary woman I am.

So where are you? Playing hide-and-seek, huh? Just wait and see how I find you! You're done for then!

She pressed a red button.

"Beep—whoosh—!!"

The shrill alarm that hadn't sounded even during the invasion of the antimatter legion suddenly rang out, piercing the air from the Black Tower's offices and from every module of the space station, like the fierce friction of knives and swords, with imaginary energy transforming into the iron hooves of warhorses pounding on the path people were walking on!

Alarm! Alarm! Alarm—

A moment of silence, followed by a moment of uproar. Amidst the warnings that flashed red across all the visualization screens on the space station and the violent commotion, Xing watched as everyone fled in panic and began to seek refuge, rubbing Peipei's head with a puzzled expression.

"what happened?"

The stars are bewildered, the stars are puzzled.

"Run! Run! Lady Black Tower might suddenly decide to..."

Esta also saw the Star Core Spirit who was teasing her, Pepe. Pepe was a dog, and even a dog knows to run away, but she held her and wouldn't let her go.

Estella frantically shouted, "Run! Take Pepe—run!!"

Therefore, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision by the Black Tower...

So what?

Xing didn't understand.

She also heard a surprised voice coming from the radio, seemingly that of the announcer: "Hello, can you hear me? Hello, can you hear me? Star Core brat, I see you, I order you to come here immediately."

Xing couldn't understand it, but was deeply shocked.

The object of my sudden whim... is me?

What did I do? I just chatted and opened up to someone, and played with Peipei for a while. I didn't even rummage through the trash can!

Fang Jie, you betrayed me again, didn't you?

Estella's eyes were lifeless; Pepe ignored her completely.

"Oh, Xing, goodbye. I will remember you well."

Estella's sudden tears finally made Hoshino nervous.

"Ah I!"

Chapter 81 Star Train Delicious Kid

We met again in Honkai Impact 3rd today.

Every time Fang Jie appears, he announces his arrival to the world.

On this new day, another wave of harmless memories surges forth at a speed that humans cannot even comprehend, affecting all images that are directly and indirectly anchored to the solution.

Of course, the Black Tower has not been affected yet; we'll have to wait for Fang Jie to return.

This won't take too long.

"Hopefully, the surprise for Black Tower won't be too big, otherwise..."

Black Tower isn't petty; he just has a terrible temper.

At this moment, Fang Jie is not at St. Freya Academy, nor is he in Oceania. He is just on a small island in the ocean. Well, not the one Raven wants to buy.

In short, it's not in the place that he's now considered his territory by 'smart people', where there's a high rate of population inflow and outflow, making it unsuitable for developing new abilities.

After all, it's the Third Great Collapse, and humanity is moving towards places that offer a greater sense of 'safety'. New cities like Sky City, with their protective shields, are naturally the first choice, even though there's the reality that even the Fate Floating Island was bombed by nuclear weapons.

That's the only place that got bombed, right?

Fang Jie didn't care about those things, nor did he intend to isolate the flow of people, thus making the surrounding area full of 'traitors'.

It's all the same; whenever St. Freya Academy enrolls students again, Theresa will be pleasantly surprised to find that she has an extra 'breeding ground' under her command.

It didn't matter. He gazed at the moon, far away from Kiana, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, adjusting his mood.

Ordinary people are often unable to have a correct understanding of the disasters that occur in the universe.

Because the scale of the universe is too vast.

On Earth, if one can start running and evacuating one minute before an earthquake, the number of casualties and the number of people unprepared will be drastically different.

But the universe isn't like that, it isn't.

The disaster in the universe is this: even if you have witnessed it unfold before your eyes, and you are fully aware of its causes and consequences, you still cannot escape it.

Because it's too far.

too slow.

The safe destination is too far away, and human movement is too slow.

At this moment, a cosmic catastrophe known as the 'Black Tower' is erupting in that world, and it is extremely terrifying.

Even using star trails to make galaxy-level jumps wouldn't escape the Black Tower's curiosity. Only the Star Train and her limited morality could stop her, which is why Himeko felt comfortable letting the newcomer hand over the agreement.

Of course, it's best to run first, then he can run very fast, and he won't say who it is if someone hasn't run yet.

"I hope Star Core Spirit, oh no, Star Baby, is alright."

Fang Jie prayed for the stars and laughed out loud.

fun!

This is not gloating, but rather adjusting one's state of mind so that Fang Jie can unlock new powers in the best possible condition.

He didn't plan to disrupt his original schedule; he still needed to go back and urge Uncle Yang on the teaching materials...

"I wonder what Theresa thinks about her upcoming 'defeat' in retrospect. Yae Sakura is one thing, but Sato Yuno is under her command. The poor girl is about to break her own record. I hope she can live up to the expectations."

Thinking back to Sato Yuno, who was 'ordinary' in terms of being a pseudo-Herrscher, it seems like a long time has passed, yet a month hasn't even ended. If I were captured by the Black Tower and imprisoned in a space with an abnormal time flow, would everything speed up again?

Ultimately, this is similar to how the Amber Calendar and the Pioneer Calendar describe time. The frame of reference is anchored to the calculus itself, so how do you explain that he traveled through time?

Let your thoughts wander freely; this is what relaxation is all about. Amidst a multitude of distracting thoughts, the sword heart path of the Taixu Sword Qi is still quite commendable.

He stared blankly at the moon, and beyond the moon, at the dark universe.

Should we build a space station too?

That's a good idea. Let's go back and work on the blueprints.

Black Tower Doll?

Forget it.

Simulated universe...

If you can't grasp it, just try to do it yourself slowly. You can't even understand the genius's manuscript, so why are you messing around and causing a huge mess?

So, three minutes later.

"Relaxed, time to upgrade."

Once again, the question on the 'catalog' appeared before Fang Jie's eyes; this time it was [Heaven].

The question that Uncle Yang had set out to ask came to mind—
