Collapse, survive

"what have you done?!"

"Ah, is this considered intelligence gathering? But if it's you... the answer is simple: I give the order, and the world responds."

Fang Jie gazed at Ji Zi with the same sincerity as always.

"It is clear that you, all of you, are not determined enough to challenge me. This is not your fault. Only by being able to rival the will of a world can you transcend all of this."

I don't know how others' abilities are explained, but his reality distortion field is a versatile ability. Not to mention its pioneering role in his destiny, just the addition of many Herrscher powers makes it impossible for anyone below 'S' rank to compete with him.

For beings below Rank B who cannot physically break the sound barrier, simply 'imagining' the air turning into ice, referring to density, and reaching Rank A, only requires increasing the intensity, creating a high-density storm, no less than the 'amber shield' surrounding a Wind Rider, which would be enough to imprison them.

It's not impossible to use ice cubes, but those are so many pretty girl ice cubes, March 7th wouldn't accept that.

The reason for emphasizing the physical body is that it doesn't matter whether the equipment has Honkai or not - how can you wear my equipment?

The reason for mentioning the 'S' class is that Durandal is currently in this stage.

Himeko was startled, then she understood.

Himeko was silent for a moment, then suddenly shouted:

"You are definitely not him! Demon, leave his body!"

Slay the ship, draw your sword!

fire--!

With a fierce blaze and her hands raised high, Himeko regained her warrior's resolve. This was no one she could show mercy to; he... she absolutely could not let him go!

The fire blazed fiercely, illuminating the night sky as bright as day!

Thus, she went all out and unleashed a devastating strike.

Then it solidifies.

Under her incredulous gaze, she witnessed the solid ice that had indeed frozen the flames, how it bloomed, burned, and spread to Yae Sakura, encompassing it all within the attack range, how it froze little by little from the very tip.

Ice is Fang Jie's least favorite weapon.

But he was extremely familiar with it, especially... well, when he treated Cocolia, the star core energy purified by his constitution disregarded his wishes and insisted on 'returning home like a swallow,' nourishing his heart and mind.

This feeling of disgust is the same as the feeling of Himeko, who gently beat me, drawing her sword against me.

The completely solidified ship-slaying sword was overwhelming for Himeko, and she was almost frozen by the spreading ice and snow!

“I still forgive you, Himeko. But this is the reason I have to leave, because I don’t know how many people like you will keep bothering me because ‘I haven’t made a sound yet.’”

Fang Jie reached out and grabbed the Ice and Fire Greatsword within reach, and everything shattered as if it had been devoured.

Himeko's hands were empty, and she leaned forward, lunging at Fang Jie. He caught her by the shoulder, and they faced each other, where she could clearly see his completely changed eyes.

"This is the last round of negotiations. We'll leave now, and no one will get hurt. Otherwise—you'll be in for a lot of trouble."

He was met with yet another punch.

Her super-fast rapid-fire attacks, accompanied by sonic booms, were simply unstoppable—she was the Valkyrie of Fire who could break the sound barrier with her bare body.

Without a sword, use your fists, your teeth, your body... Hyperion is gathering strength, a huge wave of attacks is about to arrive, such a dangerous 'Fang Jie', we cannot let the demon in his skin leave.

Himeko's determination is quite easy to understand.

"Just as I expected."

Amidst a series of piercing, sharp explosions, Fang Jieran smiled and said to Yae Sakura, "You saw it too, she insisted on giving it to me."

Yae Sakura remained silent and did not disturb them.

Given the existence of something like Feather Dust, Yae Sakura doesn't know much about what exactly needs to be done. Fang Jie has only just received the published Honkai Impact 3rd Guide, so he's quite free.

Fang Jie thanked Yae Sakura for her thoughtfulness and ignored Himeko's punches and kicks. Whether it was a physical attack or an energy impact, he countered it all and neutralized the force.

"!"

Himeko can continue to see ghosts.

This time, it wasn't that she couldn't pull it out; Ji Zi was completely bewildered by what she was doing, but she could still struggle a bit, punching and kicking to hold him back... No, he turned around and left again, completely ignoring her.

This situation is completely incomprehensible.

But being ignored... How annoying!

"baffling."

Himeko, still free, noticed that not only were the Valkyries around her who wanted to come to her aid completely still... but even the support drones, and beyond that... were being attacked by the Hyperion.

They were all frozen in place, unable to move, just like them, and even the Honkai energy weapons on their bodies could not be activated to self-destruct.

How could that kid be so strong? It's only been a few days! You're not him!

Himeko's eyes burned with even greater fighting spirit—

"Drink!"

She didn't give up, raising her leg for a flying kick, a kick so powerful it was like a nuclear knight's kick, her all-out metal armor high heels aimed at Fang Jie's back...

Yae Sakura had no objection to this and silently looked away.

No matter what kind of determination this Lady Himeko has made, it all comes to nothing in the end.

She does everything as if nothing has happened. No, there is a beginning and a process, but she can't reach the result. The result that should have been achieved has been erased.

I'm going to put a staircase here.jpg

However, Fang Jie had objections.

"That's enough! How can you be a lady when you're so rude?"

He clearly lost his composure.

They grabbed him and made him a prisoner.

He skillfully pulled the long, muscular legs of the woman into a split, then, with his free hands around her thighs, he grabbed her beautiful face, feeling utterly satisfied with his revenge.

It's hard to say about Yae Sakura; her movements looked like she was rubbing... a fox.

"Ahhhhhh..."

Sincerity doesn't always guarantee sincerity, but force will always earn a response; Himeko screamed terribly.

As for the others, even Hyperion...

Fang Jie glanced at the warships in the sky. Although they were tempting, he didn't intend to take them with him. His motto was "I see them as worthless and I don't care about them."

I want it so badly, I want it so badly...

He stopped looking and shot out a beam of light, like a star trail, extending the distortion of the field of view into the distance.

Who isn't just a single warp-jumping galactic grunt!

……

……

The Oceania Branch, also known as the Tianming Emerging Branch, was established in 1999. Its headquarters are located in Queenstown, New Zealand, and its purpose is to curb the expansion of Anti-Entropy's influence.

The branch has strong technical capabilities and led the development of the Coral Island Autonomous Region and the "Ladder to the Galaxy" project.

Unit: Snow Lotus Squad.

All of this came to an abrupt end tonight, and a new path began.

Those caught up in it were unaware of all this. For Anna, it was just a matter of having eaten a late-night snack, taking a nap, and snacking during her daily duty.

After all, a major collapse had just occurred, requiring the Snow Lotus Squad to maintain high-intensity duty.

As dawn approached, the weather outside changed.

The night sky turned incredibly dark, not a single star could be seen, accompanied by low rumbles of thunder. The world was like a capricious little girl; during the day it was a clear, sunny day with no clouds, but at night it turned into the prelude to a violent storm.

In the gloomy world, cold raindrops began to fall heavily, and soon the sound of raindrops hitting every piece of land and every piece of glass could be heard, pattering and crackling incessantly.

Moreover, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if thousands of tons of water had burst through a dam and poured down from the sky all at once. The few Valkyries who were on rotation were also running back to their dormitories in a state of anger and panic.

The Valkyries aren't afraid of Honkai Beasts, but that doesn't mean they like getting rained on; it's like having makeup remover splashed on their faces.

Anna and her two companions, who had already changed shifts and were snacking to perk themselves up, were somewhat relieved to see this scene through the glass. If they had arrived any later, they probably would have been soaked to the bone.

"I didn't expect it to rain so heavily all of a sudden..."

Anna popped a large piece of cake into her mouth, chewing elegantly but quickly as she said, "And it looks like it's getting bigger. I've never seen such an exaggerated downpour before."

"After all, it's the height of summer, so a downpour to cool things down is normal."

The teammate who was very considerate of her chuckled and said, "But Anna, you're right. It's really surprising to see rain this heavy. I don't think I've ever seen such heavy rain before."

"Perhaps it is this world that is weeping."

Another team member, looking somewhat gloomy, said calmly, "We just experienced a cataclysm that could have destroyed the world—the Great Collapse, the Herrschers… there's still no definitive conclusion. Do you believe the Far East Branch's report? They defeated more than three Herrschers in one go? Even if Lady Theresa is an 'S' rank powerhouse, this is too…"

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy. The Valkyries' lifespans and the cruelty of the Second Honkai Impact were not enough for the predecessors who had experienced the Second Honkai Impact to leave behind much. This was the first time the new generation had been in the midst of the Honkai Impact, and even in the worst-case scenario, they had to step up and provide support.

But that would be a major collapse.

There is no doubt that I will die.

I am pessimistic about the future, so perhaps even heaven and earth are mourning for us.

Her words sounded like a sigh, or perhaps a lament, and the emotions they conveyed made Anna involuntarily put away her smile.

Will I die...?

"Haha, let's not talk about those heavy topics anymore. Let's talk about something happy. I'm telling you, maybe our branch will have its own 'S' grade."

"What? How did you know about this great thing?"

"Are you kidding? Don't you even know what time it is? Who would keep good news to themselves? Revealing it would be incredibly encouraging. Besides, that 'S'-class seed has been missing for so long, who wouldn't guess it?"

"This feeling of security gives me hope for the world again..."

Anna was also happy and full of hope.

As a Schariac, one of the three chosen ones, no one doubts whether she, with this bloodline, can become an A-rank Valkyrie. But S-rank... that is a realm completely beyond mortals. Valkyries who know the difficulty have even more due respect and longing.

"That's great! Then we can cheer her name loudly—hiss..."

So cold.

Why is it so cold?

They all exhaled breaths of cold air, shivering.

"It's so cold... The temperature has suddenly dropped too low!"

Click——click——

In an instant, a cold wave descended, frost spread, the city froze, and everything turned into a frosty white, announcing the arrival of winter.

"..."

Himeko, looking down on all these changes, felt numb.

She came across the sea with Fang Jiening, although they didn't cross the sea, he insisted on freezing ice.

Just as she was casually captured and carried away in a princess carry, she had already looked at Fang Jie with more than one glance, seemingly wanting to completely subdue her and make destiny obedient.

He pulled another ruthless move.

The city was frozen in time.

A cold wave, originating from Changkong City in the Far East, reached the Oceania branch, arriving in Queenstown, freezing it, and bringing with it a torrential night rain that blanketed the entire Oceania.

At this point, the Oceania branch was paralyzed. Countless icicles spread across the world within sight, eventually converging into a towering ice wall that seemed to encompass the entire Oceania not far away...

Fang Jie stood on the ice wall that seemed to float high in the sky, looking down at the Heavenly Mandate Branch below, without saying a word.

He was well aware of his destructive power, and now he was even more aware that heroes need a stage. He stepped onto this stage, neither running away nor hiding, waiting for the world to challenge him.

Uncle Yang's planning and guidance were truly full of romance and heroism.

"Are they all dead?"

Himeko, her voice trembling as she burned the medicine along the way, asked.

Even Yae Sakura couldn't help but glance at her again. What kind of people do you take us for?

"You want me to kill everyone? That's too much..."

Fang Jie looked at her with disbelief: "Even if Oceania has been a place of exile since ancient times, you are going too far."
