Collapse, survive

However, if you cannot control that power, it will control you.

Compared to this, what is mental illness? The terror of a madman's fate...

Fang Jie readily agreed, "Enough with the nonsense, give it to me! Don't you even look at what's next to me?"

But damn it, most of that power ended up on the part that represented self-destruction.

Only a small portion... must continue to resist the force that draws the solution toward the 'sun' in its destiny.

[Destruction] protected him.

In comparison…

After glancing silently at Ah Ling, who was still rolling around, Fang Jie had already guessed what the knife in his hand was.

——Jizo Mitama!

Touching it, Fang Jie could indeed feel the presence of the spirit, and he could also feel the powerful presence of Ah Ling who had separated from, or rather, abandoned, this part of her.

Both originate from the same source, but she no longer needs the Lawyer Core to exercise her powers.

Isn't this enhancement a bit too outrageous? She seems to have completely broken free from the constraints of her Herrscher identity and reached a state of ascension, no, a state of Welt.

Previously, everyone was evenly matched, resulting in a chaotic battle in the ward. Now, she is free from constraints and has easily reshaped Yae Sakura's body, forged the Jizo Soul, and even reshaped her clothes.

And despite her rolling around, Fang Jie couldn't be mistaken about the way she floated against gravity amidst the surrounding steam.

'Even if I could understand it, it would still be ridiculous.'

Thinking this, Fang Jie released the Jizo Soul, not wanting to be misled or tempted by that power, even though it was indeed within reach.

Although she didn't know why Ah Ling became more obedient and rediscovered her true self after being stared at by Destruction... she really didn't want to fight anymore, as the price of his 'all-out' efforts was too high every time.

Therefore, Fang Jie silently divided himself into two parts: he didn't consider how powerful going all out would be, but rather the part he could control—

"First and foremost is the energy of destiny."

The burning flames of the fist have died down, restoring it to its normal, large fist, though slightly twisted and deformed. Its skin is clean and clear, almost without wrinkles, blemishes, or pimples; pores are very small, and debris, hair, and dirt have detached from the body and automatically destroyed…

This is only the surface; an even more astonishing change has occurred internally.

Just like in the world of Honkai Impact 3, where various information is embedded in the cell organs under the erosion of Honkai energy, and firstly, energy units that can contain and utilize Honkai energy are integrated, the life energy is flowing in the cell that is now disintegrating.

It filled his flesh, organs, and bones, penetrating into the spaces between cells and enveloping his entire body. It did not change the biological characteristics of his basic cells, but it did connect to another energy mechanism, adding life energy in addition to the chemical energy of biomolecular bonds!

In a sense, he became a Herald, connecting the imaginary space of destiny and drawing energy from it.

"Then, let me see your limits."

Fang Jie spoke softly, and endless imaginary energy surged within his body. Drawing upon this life-bound energy, he instinctively drew upon his power—

This caused his body temperature to reach several hundred degrees Celsius, igniting the icy snowfield. Beneath his still fair skin, a lava-like light surged, and his nerve reaction speed, regeneration ability, and physical strength all improved exponentially.

'Winter' is not a unique skill, but a dead end.

Spring is the future, so let life burn brightly.

Thus, having absorbed a large amount of information about collapse and destiny, Fang Jie naturally activated the 'imaginary barrier' as naturally as breathing and beating his heart.

The human body, a typical carbon-based life form, contains approximately 40 to 60 trillion cellular structures.

Unlike Honkai Impact 3 or Galaxy, those 'humans' whose genetic structures have been optimized and modified countless times, who consider themselves 'ancient humans', their cells are just that few.

At this moment, the energy originating from every cell is mobilized and bursts forth:

Ten pills – one hundred pills – one thousand pills – ten thousand pills!

Millions of grains – tens of millions of grains – hundreds of millions of grains – trillions of grains!

--all!

Thus, the 'field' was born—no, it was strengthened to the point where it could be perceived more clearly, constructing a real, invisible force field on the surface of Fang Jie's body.

Cells and life force energy combine perfectly, forming a 'field', a bio-force field, under the mobilization of instinct.

Similar to electromagnetic fields and force fields, it is a unique and extensive form of life matter existing in the universe. Its structure is rigorous and complex. It is also a special result of the leakage of the internal field characteristics of life matter under this special structural condition. It is the manifestation and form of life's spatiotemporal existence and function.

Even a lowly soldier in the galaxy can do it, but the difference between the lower and upper limits is enormous.

"Now, I probably won't slip."

The missing leg was now in place, and Fang Jie stood firmly on the hot spring. Despite the boiling water, he remained standing on the steam.

Slippery feet? What slippery feet? Just fly!

At this stage, let alone cannonballs, as long as he has enough energy and there are no other life-force fields to neutralize the destructive force of a planetary explosion, he can withstand it without any damage.

Of course, the power of a star's demise is still too great; one must flee before it can be destroyed.

Compared to other antimatter legion grunts who readily self-destruct, he is undoubtedly a survivor with a strong will to live, even though he also self-destructs.

Besides self-destruction, there are also talents bestowed upon him by the 'information residue' from the Honkai, the pseudo-Herrscher, and the Corruptor Herrscher, engraved within his body.

The glimpse of [Destruction] not only bestows new power, but also inspires your inherent talents, forging them into one.

In other words, Fang has broken free from the path of destruction to gain power and can also develop Honkai energy on his own. He was originally at his limit as a zombie, but now he is at least a pseudo-Herrscher level. After all, a true Herrscher needs to connect to the imaginary space of Honkai.

I briefly sensed the intensity of the 'full biofield', and it was roughly enough to withstand the 'self-destruction' that had occurred in my previous life, with the power of a planetary explosion.

Fang Jie began to reduce energy consumption. This energy consumption was terrifying. Even with the continued replenishment of Destiny Energy, it couldn't keep up with the consumption, and could only be used for five seconds.

That's enough; it can withstand a planetary explosion.

He reduced his power to 1%, and with the life force replenished by his destiny energy, he could maintain his life force strength normally, which would allow him to withstand a nuclear attack without taking damage (Himeko's attack).

That is, the level of the previous 'Yae Sakura', no, stronger than her. She still had to avoid the ultra-high temperature attack in the narrow core area, but Fang Jie didn't need to. Even if Himeko tried her best to hurt him, it was like a gentle breeze and could no longer harm him.

"Using Himeko as a stepping stone is really something. I don't even have a continuous supply of Fate Energy to use when I fight her."

Therefore, Himeko has not been devalued in this wave of numerical inflation caused by the Alchemist.

"So my template can be summarized as: fire attribute, weak to ice, and quantum attribute destiny energy neutralization field, which directly kills after breaking through. It is different from encountering cheats with penetration, and other cheats are also different."

Of course, that was a phase, nothing special, and I was afraid of the Milky Way's overpowered abilities.

For the second phase...

His face and eyes were no longer stained with black blood, but his eyes, which had turned from gray to dark green, were still connected to the despairing power of the [nothingness], and he could not refuse it.

"It probably doesn't have any weaknesses."

It unilaterally suppresses all the forces of destiny, ruthlessly swallowing everything, even itself.

If possible, Fang Jie hoped he would never need to use that posture of constantly increasing power and realm.

The power of nothingness is too unsolvable; whether you submit to it or resist it, you are part of nothingness.

What? You've decided to give up? Good heavens, I'll refine you in an instant!

This is a one-way street once you step onto it, where you will only stray further and further down the path of nothingness, and your power will gradually increase.

But this power is also illusory.

Stopping thinking about it, Fang Jie continued to examine himself, gradually discovering things as if guided by inspiration.

It is gratifying that, under the integration of the biofield, the residual information from Sato Yuno has made [cell recombination] an instinct, and only by burning can they withstand the outbreak of their doomed destiny.

There is also the power of [erosion], although it is incomplete, with only the cellular-level information network as its foundation, which is essentially the way that the virus's body communicates and interacts efficiently.

Otherwise, how could Fang Jie spread his will to every cell and control it? Obviously, this is more efficient. It can be said that this is the powerful support that allows Fang Jie to easily adapt to the new power and find the reason why he can refine the Jizo Soul in an instant.

After all, the Milky Way is science fiction, and even thinking requires support, especially not just energy consumption, but also solid hardware and software support. The eccentrics of fate each have their own unique skills, and life forms are multi-talented, but Fang Jie can only adopt what is available for now.

Just like the awakening of sacred marks, which involves mastering the black technology of directly writing into genes, the identity of the writer is not very important at first.

We've already made a preliminary assessment of their defensive capabilities, but what about their offensive capabilities?

Recalling the memory of self-destructing the 'moon', it is certainly not so easy to do in reality. It is protected by various forces of destiny, including but not limited to the [Balance] which transforms the body into a galaxy. Even someone as powerful as the Great Lord of Annihilation could only destroy a mountain on the Immortal Ship.

But it's not actually that difficult. For ordinary planets, you can just keep piling up antimatter and then blow them up.

What Fang Jie is uncertain about is his instantaneous burst of power, energy conversion rate, or, to put it more bluntly, his combat strength.

How will he attack?

First, we can rule out self-destruction.

Ah, I've got it! Just like opening a shield, it tears open the gates between imaginary and real numbers, unleashing the brewing destruction...

Or conversely, transfer the unblockable attack to an imaginary number, and then transfer it back.

Yes, it's possible; that's what the Milky Way looks like.

Therefore, those who follow the path of destiny often possess unique skills. As long as they can skillfully utilize the imaginary energy of destiny, they can greatly shock the real world.

What may seem like idealism can also be quite scientific.

"If you can't develop it yourself, you can copy it, like the Herrscher of the Void."

The idea became clear immediately: the solution could either follow the path of fate or exploit the Lawbringers.

But before that, he needs to face a small difficulty.

It wasn't Ling; although she didn't know why she hadn't made another move, Fang Jie wouldn't initiate another battle either.

He can beat them!

Look, a monster from the rift!

The firebird soaring across the sky in the distance, a creation of Yan Hua, a terrifying rift monster with limitless potential for growth, has gone from killing, arson, and massacring villages to destroying nations, annihilating planets, ravaging civilizations, and swallowing the sun...

He was forced to feign death; he absolutely could not be allowed to live!

"You dare show your face in front of me again? Just you wait, I'll develop a new move to make you pay."

With both old and new grudges, Fang Jie looked around and gave up his plan to go up and self-destruct to test his attack power. Even Black Fox A-Ling could be so peaceful, just rolling around and throwing a tantrum. Why was he so irritable?

It was so agitated that even standing still dispelled the cold wind and warmed Yae Sakura's peaceful slumber; it must have been a little hot.

How can you sleep so much?

Wake up! Everyone's working hard to upgrade, what are you sleeping for! (Rolling up...)

Forget it, let her sleep. There's a bell next to her bed; she might not wake up.

Fang Jie didn't want to bother them. He wasn't Kallen, and Yae Sakura might not be his teammate. He had to rely on himself!

He began to examine another power within him, and made the most of the time.

—Honkai energy, which is also an imaginary energy.

Compared to using 'fire attribute' to fight fire elemental creatures, 'electricity', which is closest to organisms, cells, and life, is definitely more useful. Fang Jie's bioelectric energy, which was awakened after being eroded and strengthened by Honkai energy, is much more effective.

"The passive enhancement of the body with special effects, which only relies on the bioelectric energy generated by cell movement, has been devalued. Now, it's time for you to advance to a new level."

Fang Jie thought so, because he had stepped into a new realm, even if it was not a 'complete realm', or even a mediocre fish.

Let's use a different image to describe our strength; I feel that using "crazy guy" is unlucky.

From a scientific perspective... what about gene lock? Compared to madmen, it can still anchor human identity and uphold beliefs.

Within the permanently activated bio-field, feeling the gradual harmonization of various information interactions and a powerful sense of connection, Fang Jie easily found a system that could serve as a reference.

That's scientific. Geniuses even study magic; fantasy is creativity.

"I activated the first stage a long time ago. My combat instincts and sense of danger... are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"In the second stage, you can control 90% of your body and unleash your full potential. Your muscles, blood, nerves, and five senses are greatly enhanced, and you can even control the flow of energy within your body... Skip to the next stage."

"The third stage involves developing the brain. In addition to a significant increase in basic memory, intelligence, and thinking speed, one can also awaken a sixth sense, mimic others, and use corresponding abilities. One can also predict the enemy's next attack... Well, I guess I'm probably in this stage and need to develop it further."

Actually, it's a four-stage process. Although it's all learned through instruction, Fang Jie can indeed achieve "meticulousness." How can indiscriminate absorption not be meticulous? Not a single detail is wasted.

What about tearing the sky apart, burning the earth, and destroying civilizations...?

If he's willing, then he can.

Completely transformed into black electric light, it bloomed, flowed, and hummed on the surface of the disintegrated body. The cells began to move, generating 'electric current' within the original bio-force field, which in turn propelled the cells to move and recombine.

Now, Fang Jie's eyes can not only see the energy of destiny, but also sense infrared and ultraviolet light beyond the three primary colors. Electromagnetic waves are also not difficult for him, and even space warping is possible... As long as he is willing to continue developing, he will be the strongest hacker, warrior, and scientist, but at the cost of a gradually collapsing body and increasingly thin emotions.

Ultimately, everything returns to nothingness.

Revoke his driver's license first; he sealed himself away.

Honkai energy is still the safest.

The electric light began to spread, a freer form of destiny energy than that constrained by the medium of 'self' due to 'nothingness', a power that could be normalized.
