Collapse, survive

Instead of using a contingency plan from a previous civilization, it used its powerful computing capabilities to anchor one of the consciousnesses, project it in reverse, and awaken their minds.

However, this level is insufficient to bear the burden of the end, because the ordinary duck is merely a shackle that 'gives thought to the Honkai,' and cannot control instincts.

And, Pu Ya doesn't want Fang Jie to become the end.

You cannot entrust everything to someone who is not the right person.

"What about this one? Will it work?"

Fang Jie showcased his artificial stigmata, which had already activated the power of the three starter families and also included a powerful older sister figure. The twelve stigmata were not dependent on Kevin's Chimera stigmata hub, nor were they connected to the imaginary channel, thus breaking free from the constraints of the cocoon and opening up a new system of powers.

This is something only he could do, even if he were to hand over this 'artificial stigmata' to someone else, such as Welt, Kiana, Durandal, or even Raiden Mei and the good-for-nothing Bronya...

They too are destined to be captured by the Cocoon of the End, and to elbow each other in the Stigmata Central Hub of the Parallel Kevin Chimera Project.

This is not just a numerical difference, nor can it be compared to having more developed muscles, a stronger soul, or more abundant energy. It is a difference that flows towards the philosophical levels of narrative, infinite dimensions, and transcendent realms.

It encompasses the scope of the worldview, referring to the breaking of the fourth dimension that Kiana touched when she elbowed [Savior Kevin], gathering the power of all parallel worlds.

Okay, it's still a numerical difference.

The Honkai world is very 'scientific'; there's no such thing as the older the better. The numerical expansion of the future attacking the past is like this.

Pu Ya nodded in agreement, not giving up on shaking off the hand, and said in an inorganic tone, "Yes. Kneel down."

It's as if Endless Cocoon is inferior to Solution. Both are built on the foundation of the Imaginary Tree. In places where the worldview is 'collapsed', Solution might win, but Endless Cocoon may not necessarily lose.

But in a major war, those who die are all people from the solar system and aliens, and then the cycle repeats itself.

"No, I want to stand."

Fang Jie was not surprised, and showed her the projected memory of the Blade of Revelation of the World, the real Blade of Revelation of the World, and said, "This, and this, can they stand up and become the End?"

Pu Ya couldn't answer; she didn't know the answer.

Without a doubt, those two had reached the realm of the Herrscher of the End, fully capable of bearing the End, yet—they were both broken.

Even the ultimate work that surpasses these two still cannot escape the shadow cast by that one…

Frankly, isn't the ceiling of Honkai too terrifying? Is this the possibility that in a world without Alicia, where you can only fight head-on and actually manage to win?

Unfortunately, besides the Honkai, there are still skilled players.

And, as I said before, Fang Jie, if you think of it as the end, you can only fight head-on. But those who die will be people from the solar system and aliens, and the whole world will be destroyed.

Are you here to save us, or to destroy us?

"I can't answer you, I can't understand you."

Pu Ya, whose face had been constantly pinched, had a slightly more emotional look in his eyes. Who exactly are you?

That was a topic of sex that the Black Tower was also very interested in.

"Okay, I won't ask you anymore. I'm not really interested in becoming the End, but it can't come too soon."

Fang Jie stopped teasing her and let go of her hand.

Silver Wolf, you're the one who ruined Pu Duck!

Before artificial intelligence, now a generalized will, Prometheus 17 has not yet completely escaped some limitations.

Unless Fang Jie writes a personality module for her and infuses her with 'iron will'.

No need.

The now-free Puya responded in a completely emotionless, mechanical voice: "If you need, I can adjust the timing of the Herrscher's arrival."

After all, she is the Will of Honkai!

Although this Honkai Will was also written by Dr. Mei, it's amazing.

"There's no need to sacrifice you. I didn't wake you up for that kind of thing."

Fang Jie loosened and then clenched his fists, savoring the feel of the duck's face.

The tactile feel of the information projection was actually not very good; it was like touching steel, but her reaction was quite interesting.

Especially since he looks like a silver wolf!

You Bronyas...

However, this image is based on Puya's own perception and design; its original body was a Soul Steel Body.

In other words, it's not that she resembles Bronya, but that Bronya resembles her.

Fang Jie stared at her familiar face: "Pu Ya, step aside. You're here and Kevin isn't. It seems he's not coming. I'm going to start formatting the Honkai Will and writing new rules."

Fang Jie was willing to wait for any rabbit that came.

But Su, Fu Hua, and even Prometheus 17 all came.

Kevin, oh Kevin...

Fang Jie stopped waiting and began writing the 'Inhibition System' into the imaginary channel he occupied, rewriting the imaginary channel—extracting information that humans could understand or universal information from the infinite information, so that the infinite imaginary energy could be expressed in a form that humans could understand, specifically manifested as different Herrscher powers.

In other words, he is using the power of the Herrscher to connect with the power of the Herrscher, thereby incubating more heroes and more Herrschers of humanity.

The previous civilization ultimately lacked the Jizo Mitama, and Dr. Mei inscribed 'mind shackles' into the Cocoon of the End, which sacrificed Prometheus, who was number 17, and many others before her.

Time was too short; the Cocoon of the End was only able to be shut down for 12 hours by the previous civilization's all-out effort to rely on Kevin, and then there was no way to fight back.

The Cocoon has complete control over all the Honkai energy in the solar system, possessing infinite power that can overturn all laws. The world is fragile and easily destroyed by the Cocoon.

It doesn't need to have thoughts; power is innate and natural. Even life and energy are irrelevant; only 'purpose' is more precious.

That was the true face of the collapsing solar system revealed by Alicia, but Alicia's mouth... Anyway, the cocoon was regarded as a mechanism of the reincarnation civilization. By observing the cocoon's actions, the previous civilization guessed that the cocoon wanted to create its own kind.

But Fang Jie felt that it simply existed as it was; everything was inherently meaningless, and meaning was only given to it by humans.

Honkai is Honkai. It is a mechanism that uses simple disaster and hatred to be modified and developed, for good and for evil. It even becomes a conscious being that can communicate and feel the beauty of humanity through Alicia's sacrifice.

Cocoons are born with power, and civilizations are born without power.

Having come this far in this vast universe, decay and civilization coexist. The concept of "kindred spirits" is too ambiguous, and the result of each "embrace" by the cocoon is too tragic, often bringing only a dead end.

The collapse of civilizations is inevitable. The cocoon of the end travels through the universe with endless life, so it is inevitable that it will encounter a civilization that will surpass it.

Just as the universe will eventually come to an end, just as after the Honkai Beasts and Herrschers, there will be Destiny Walkers, Commanders, and Star Gods.

The Tree of Imaginary Numbers has always existed, the Sea of ​​Quanta has always existed, only those newer ones have constantly emerged and renew themselves: ancient beasts, star gods...

This is the worldview we have; it's constantly expanding. What else can we do when we're living in it?

Alicia provided the expression.

"Become more beautiful, become the person I want to be!"

Fang Jie's divine eye shines everywhere, performing miracles that only a 'magical' girl could achieve—miracles that change the rules with one's own will.

Life will inevitably end, apples will inevitably fall from the top, one plus one equals two... These "laws" that will never change in the world can be destroyed, reassembled, and created by magical girls.

One plus one becomes three, apples fall from the bottom up, and dead lives are resurrected.

Magical girls can arbitrarily twist all the laws of the world; they are truly terrifying.

Prometheus 17 felt uneasy. The massive data flow, through the reverse compatibility and expansion of the virtual tree channels of [True], [Heaven], and [Cry], had already invaded the [Infinite] that connects to the intrinsic world, enough to reshape the [Finite] world.

The energy burst that affected the 'planet' in an instant, encompassing the intrinsic world, was far more exciting than any cataclysmic event. It broke through the barrier that the 'cocoon' had always firmly sealed, and in an alternative way, it broke into the tip of the tree of imaginary numbers...

After all, occupying the end of the 'cocoon' naturally means occupying the end of the imaginary tree that the cocoon occupies.

In this area, Kevin needs to use the Chimera Project to house the Stigmata Central Hub, and similarly, he can hijack the End Power and forcibly control it.

Otto could only sacrifice himself, completely merging into the Imaginary Tree to become a puppet, and only had a moment of freedom to manipulate the power of the Imaginary Tree when he was killed.

Connecting the Tree of Imaginary Numbers is never a simple matter. Even if the energy of imaginary numbers is pure and free, without the processing of the Star God, it is difficult for the travelers of destiny to achieve philosophical resonance and can only grasp it with great difficulty.

The situation is especially difficult for the Cocoon, which has to pay the price of sacrificing its humanity to emulate the Cocoon's way of existence, attempting to take its place...

Fang Jie stopped looking at her, who was located at the edge of the solar system, and silently memorized her position.

In that instant, his life expanded to the stage of 'god,' and the original form of the imaginary authority was used by him to weave the form he desired.

And the price...

Just like going home, what price do I have to pay?

The spirits of the Void Tree here are incredibly hospitable, welcoming Fang Jie with food and drink, for the world has suffered from this hardship for too long!

As for the 'cocoon's' 'will to collapse' not cooperating, it can be formatted away. He used magic, and even though he did not bring the 'first face' body, but relied on the 'true' body's mimicry to solve it, this magic was still powerful, propelling him directly to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

Pu Ya trembled: "I have no objection to formatting the Honkai Will. What rules do you intend to write? I might be able to offer some suggestions."

"you."

Fang Jie raised his head, the sweet taste of blood spreading from his lips. It wasn't his blood, but the blood of the creations of the Imaginary Tree, who were fighting to "overthrow the Honkai tyranny and make the world belong to the Imaginary Tree."

The world has long suffered from the torment of suffering, accumulating countless spiritual remains, wandering aimlessly, devoid of any self-awareness.

And there is a solution.

As a blood sin spirit, his transformed nature has long since been reborn with renewed meaning, allowing him to move forward consciously rather than unconsciously repeating things, taking whatever he wants along the way.

The marginal effect works like this: a little bit of strength leads to limitless strength. He would call it merging like terms, which is much stronger than the gradual accumulation of world bubble energy.

And how can assimilation and absorption compare to erosion and devouring? This old zombie of the illusory tree god in the solar system melts in your mouth just like the 'Star Core Will'.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Prometheus 17 didn't believe he couldn't hear clearly. Looking at him like this, he couldn't help but reach out his hand. Like a phantom, a ghost from outside time and space, he couldn't bear to see Fang Jie struggling alone. "Let me visit, let me visit!"

Saving the world is Puddle's duty.

In the stagnant time, amidst the endless stream of illusory tree remains, Durandal finally moved.

She opened her eyes, her sky-blue gem-like pupils reflecting Fang Jie's image, and—

"Has it started yet?"

The girl gripped the holy sword tightly, not for battle, but because the truth about the Honkai, everything about the Underworld, made her hold the sword tightly, wanting to protect something.

The existence beyond Fang Jie that appeared before her made some guesses.

"You must be Kevin!"

.

Chapter 89 Only heroes can bring hope.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

His clear laughter was comparable to that of an unknown person, and he burst into hearty laughter for this moment of joy.

And so the world rejoiced, and the sound that came from his mouth seemed to travel through countless echo corridors in an instant.

With each utterance, new laughter arose from the original sound.

In just a second or two, laughter echoed through every corner of Haiyuan City, which had been recreated yesterday.

Layer upon layer, like hundreds of thousands of black and white snakes intertwined, binding everyone's body from toes to hair. The sky laughed, the earth laughed, the rain laughed, the flowers and grass laughed, even the monsters laughed. Durandal's words triggered this bizarre scene. The joy of life was given free of charge to everything beyond life. The world laughed...

Pu Ya thought it was outrageous.

Before she could laugh out loud, she quickly took action, attempting to reverse the uncontrolled solution.

Durandal, who had uttered those strange words, felt a chill run down her spine. While Fang Jie had been arrogant and aloof before, at least he had some semblance of humanity. But now…

She felt all her strength being taken away by the laughter echoing throughout the world, leaving her standing there like a wooden statue.

The surge of imaginary numbers was like a song. This state, which was regarded as pollution by the people of the Holy Mark Gene, was indeed novel. After all, they had been sealed outside the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and had never come into contact with the pure and free form of imaginary number energy.

And that joyful laughter could tear apart the cold, lifeless reality.

"Quick, human, hold him!"

The world trembled, and Pu Ya trembled as she watched the girl who could reach the realm where she and Fang Jie communicated as if chasing the light, yet could not withstand the tempering of this realm.

Just like Yuto, very few people can touch her; it only brings Honkai energy erosion. Only those who cross the Tengen level or are Herrschers can coexist with her peacefully.

Fortunately, Prometheus could probably understand the solution and already knew how to stop it.

Embrace!

Durandal is an honest person. Although she grips her 'sword' tightly, this sword is no match for Fang Jie. This is a reality she still needs to work on. And then there's the embrace...

She struggled forward, sword in hand, and with Pu Ya's help, stretched out her hands. With a slam of her armor, she calmed the laughter that had suddenly been triggered by external stimuli and gone berserk, before it could tear the world apart.
