Collapse, survive

.

Chapter Fifty-Seven is terrifying, the super silly goose.

Perhaps it's the subtle strengthening and integration of imaginary energy into the body, allowing it to merge with various things and expand life, that makes Fang Jie highly adaptable to multitasking. Internally, there's the projection and healing through conversation with the Crimson Kite Immortal; externally...

He walked towards the heavens.

There's no need to go too fast; each step is steady, and the frost naturally condenses into steps, transforming into a path to heaven.

It's cool and a habit to walk even though you can fly.

Anyway, he's not in a hurry; Yae Sakura has already made Touko question her existence.

It was easy to tell from her eyes that she was somewhat suffocated.

Durandal is alright; she's indomitable and full of fighting spirit. She won't suffer any setbacks; all the frustrations only push her to become stronger. That's the speed at which she gets stronger in battle.

Of course, this is only an unshakable ideal on a spiritual level; what about reality?

Reality isn't just about Kevin the Elder beating everyone equally; the new generation of great ladies also beat everyone equally. When necessary, Fu Hua the Immortal can also transform. This garbage reality doesn't respect martial ethics at all. You can't play without cheating. Even those who cheat have to consider what pose to strike if they get beaten up.

"Sigh, what do we young people need to do to be satisfied with this world? It's full of persecution and setbacks, and we don't even dare to ride motorcycles."

Fang Jie walked towards Yae Sakura. She seemed to be in a much better mood. It couldn't be because she enjoyed beating up Touko-nee, but rather because Durandal's performance had impressed her.

"Huh, huh..."

Rita was slightly out of breath. The intense offense and defense had taken its toll; if the Far East Fox hadn't shown mercy, she would have been reduced to fragments of a Valkyrie.

Even so, she shamelessly continued to delay Yae Sakura, creating opportunities for Durandal...

There was no chance. The even more perverse man in black returned, his clothes torn in half, revealing a corner of the 'strange rabbit pattern' on his chest. Fu Hua, who caused all this, was nowhere to be found.

In the end, it's just Grade A.

Rita felt sadness, grief, and shared hatred: "Lady Durandal, be careful."

Durandal naturally noticed Fang Jie's approach. His slow, deliberate movements created a sense of pressure that compelled her to pay attention. Compared to the miraculous skills of Yae Sakura, Fang Jie's impression on her was that of 'innate divine strength'.

Ignoring this, Fang Jie did not immediately elbow her away and head towards Yae Sakura, instead bringing this 'guidance battle' to a standstill.

High above in the sky, overlooking the earth, the nearest structure to look around is the space elevator of the Galaxy Project.

Four times the size of Tokyo Tower, stretching straight into the sky; twice the size of the First Building, he meant the Damage Building.

Have you seen "King Kong"?

Yae Sakura was stunned for a moment before realizing that Fang Jie was chatting with her.

She nodded: "Thus have I heard. At one time the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Savatthi..."

Fang Jie shook his head: "It's not this Diamond Sutra. I'll take you to see a movie another day. It's a great pastime, and many people even think that people go to the cinema after they die."

He looked refreshed and energetic.

He seemed to have solved a major problem, and he also felt that it was not right to take the ignorant village girl around. He was already on the train, so why was he in such a hurry?

He was quite pleased that the rare nightlife was still with Hizaki Himeko.

Or they engage in intense study to adapt to new knowledge and skills, possessing even greater willpower than before the college entrance exam, and their bodies can even support thinking at a much higher intensity—pathetic learning machines, forced by life's pressures.

Yae Sakura nodded and hummed in agreement: "The movie... I'm really looking forward to it, Your Excellency."

Rita couldn't stand it!

She thought the aliens and the Far Eastern fox spirits could communicate about something important, like a hundred ways to destroy humanity, and then prepare accordingly... What are you talking about, watching a movie? Is this the time for that? You look down on us, don't you!

With her back to Rita, Durandal asked in a low voice, "Rita, have you seen King Kong?"

"..."

Rita felt inexplicably sad and nodded: "Yes, Lady Durandal, I'll take you to the movies another day."

Damn it, such a lovely, powerful, and diligent lady Durandal has never even experienced the joy of watching a movie. This is a dereliction of duty on my part as a maid.

Fate didn't even give her a single day off!

"No need, I just need to know what the movie is about."

Durandal only thought about this in order to fight, not because her attention was diverted. Rather, the existence of a powerful enemy forced her to exhaust her wisdom and think of any possible ways to defeat them.

After becoming an 'S' class and inheriting the Holy Lance, this level of strength... no, she had never experienced such a crushing defeat before.

Rita was quickly recounting the movie plot, various versions of "King Kong." The maid's leisure life was quite rich, after all, she had both parents and a perfect life, so it was hard to believe she became an 'S' class.

In short, King Kong has always been a regular in tokusatsu films, and he even fought Godzilla. He's known as the handsome guy from Skull Island. I never thought aliens would watch it too... Is it more than just a movie?

"You don't need to waste your energy thinking about these things. I'm just surprised that there are similar movies on this earth, so I just felt compelled to speak out."

Fang Jie gestured for the two girls, who were on high alert, to relax. He had a pleasant conversation with the Crimson Kite Immortal, so there was no need to continue the fight; they could be defeated immediately.

Rita silently retreated behind Durandal, gathering her strength to prepare for battle.

She had a feeling that she would have a hard time maintaining her position this time.

Durandal didn't think that much about it, but keenly realized the information in Fang Jie's words: "Another Earth?"

"Yes, to me, this is a new Earth. The Milky Way is so vast, it's not surprising."

Fang Jie stood slightly ahead of Yae Sakura, who also sheathed her sword, realizing something.

She no longer needed to guard against Yu Duchen; from beginning to end, the only thing she needed to guard against was Fu Hua's Yu Duchen.

As for Otto?

Fang Jie was already showing enough leniency by not arresting him; how dare he show his face?

"Let's get back to the movie. In the second half of the movie, King Kong enters the bustling city for Andalo and finally stands on the spire of the Empire State Building."

"It was surrounded by circling planes, and the Empire State Building was also under its nose."

"The world is vast, yet there is no place for it."

This classic shooting scene is arguably the most important shot in "King Kong." Anyone who has seen it once will be moved by the feeling it evokes.

Which man hasn't fantasized about climbing to the top of the city alone and masturbating?

Fang Jie gazed at Youlandel. His black clothes had been restored, concealing his pained appearance, making him look exceptionally serious, even carrying a faint sense of sorrow and loneliness.

"Miss Yae Sakura, look."

He spread his arms, seemingly embracing, yet also appearing resigned:

"This is our situation..."

"Looking around."

"And the whole world is our enemy."

The new Earth, but none of them could accommodate Fang Jie, an alien, and Yae Sakura, a fox spirit from the Far East.

A gust of wind blew, carrying Fang Jie's words into the wind and into the Valkyrie's ears, as if he were telling her what he wanted.

With her hair flying in the wind, Rita didn't have time to tame it. Her eyes were slightly narrowed as she stared intently at Fang Jie and Yae Sakura.

Durandal is the same; she will not waver.

Where are there no enemies? Everywhere are enemies.

You're right, but is that your reason for annihilating the Valkyrie Squad of the Far East Branch in Changkong City, capturing the ace Himeko Murata, taking her to the Oceania Branch to paralyze this place, and even conquering the entire Oceania?

Sorry, Durandal can't empathize with him; she just wants to defeat him!

In a sense, she was harder to persuade than Fu Hua, because she knew exactly who Otto was, yet she still fought for the better protection of the world.

It's alright, as long as Yae Sakura understands, that's enough. Fang Jie only needs to soothe her feelings.

Although she had never seen the movie, her current situation was indeed like that of King Kong.

However, she didn't project herself onto the invincible King Kong, which was obviously unnecessary, but rather onto Andalo, the human woman protected in the palm of her hand, which also seemed unnecessary.

Nonsense, it's necessary. It's perfectly reasonable for a powerful ruler to have the heart of a young girl. Even someone as strong as Yae Sakura can have a soft heart.

So although King Kong is an ugly and terrifying non-human monster, for Andalo, who was saved by King Kong, being by King Kong's side was undoubtedly the safest place in the world.

This King Kong isn't Fang Jie; he's not as ugly, terrifying, or inhuman as some claim.

It's a bell.

As we all know, you have to be present when your friends and family are playing with your crickets, otherwise they won't know what kind of image you have.

King Kong isn't here, hehehehe.

This did not affect Yae Sakura's mood. She gazed at Queenstown, the Ice City, which, despite being destroyed by Durandal, remained lifelike and beautiful beneath the ice.

It was bustling, just like the devastated Changkong City. It was completely bustling, completely unfamiliar, and made her unable to find any trace of the past. The village from before... remained only in her heart.

But behind the dazzling facade of the overly urbanized modern city lies a series of strange and hostile worlds, where monsters led by a dog breed named Otto are threatening her life.

How utterly meaningless.

"Life is always full of strange tales and legends. When you walk in, you see flowers blooming all around and beauties under the lamp. When you wake up, you find that you are in a desolate mountain grave, with old spirit banners and sparse paper money all around you."

Fang Jie gave Durandal and Rita some breathing room and time to adjust, like a clumsy villain.

Yae Sakura's eyes welled up with tears, a moisture she hadn't felt even when saying goodbye in Changkong City. In this 'foreign land' that was not as vast as the Milky Way, her emotions were revealed.

"I... just thought of Rin... Kongou, so I cried."

She did not hide or avoid the topic, regarding Fang Jie as a companion and sharing his joys and sorrows.

Because he was chewing on the 'situation' he was talking about, he understood the sadness and pain of King Kong that he had never seen before, so he was in tears.

Yes, she missed Rin a little, the Rin who was petty and wouldn't bring her back because she bit Fang Jie (not really).

"There's no need to be so sad. Movies are just movies. People usually go to the cinema, not into the movie."

Fang Jie didn't look at her, his eyes were fixed ahead. "So the movie is just a movie, and the new Earth is just my new Earth. For you, this is home. The Milky Way is vast, and you can call the stars your home, even though everyone else is an enemy."

I'm not even sad.

Okay, I'm switching to NetEase Cloud Music.

Enraged, he changed his tone and said to Durandal, "Are you ready? Should I give you a little more time to prepare to end this battle?"

Although Fang Jie was not arrogant, he understood that this power did not belong to him.

But this extremely cold humility greatly angered Rita, who didn't understand, and Durandal.

What an arrogant person!

She gripped the Black Abyss White Flower tightly, a weapon that Alicia had once possessed and despised. Her fighting spirit surged, encouraging her body to become stronger, improving every second.

well.

And what about the other one?

Forget it, Rita looks so lame.

Fang Jie's outstretched hands fell naturally to his sides, his body, outlined by the black clothes and pain-themed garments, was so relaxed that it was as if he had just taken a bath and washed away all his fatigue.

Thus, his hands began to move slowly. Although the movements were extremely slow, they left behind afterimages that lingered in the sky and eventually merged with everything, separating the heavens and the earth.

Point to the sky.

One finger pointed to the ground.

In his clear, bright eyes, a golden halo shimmered around his square pupils, surveying the world with disdain.

"As a sign of respect, please feel this blow that touches the center of the sky."

He was met with light.

The blinding light was devastating. Durandal was never one to sit idly by and wait for death. The formidable enemy before her was no match for her, and the moment the words were spoken, she charged at the windmill like Don Quixote, shield in hand, wielding her lance and slaying the giant.

Fang Jie 'saw' it clearly. The streak of light, as sharp as thunder and lightning, was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. It was even faster than Fu Hua's Shadow Knight Moon Wheel at full speed. It was a straight-line thrust. Durandal, who could control basic particles, could unleash a light-speed attack!

Even so, it was as if he had gained supernatural insight; he could see everything clearly.

Long before he was [Destroyed] and the corrosive virus was fused into one, he had already... no, perhaps even earlier, unknowingly and imperceptibly embarked on the path of a monster in the eyes of ordinary people.

After one's perception is enhanced to a level that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, even if the field of vision is a blurry gray landscape, one can still easily construct the actions of everyone in the field that one wants to see.

His perception was like a radar scan, yet incredibly efficient, allowing him to easily spot Durandal. She had already pierced through him, the tip of her spear, adorned with black abyss white flowers, seemingly burning, surrounded by black flames of withering life.

Against an opponent of Cocolia Rand's caliber, anyone who dared to get close would be stabbed without a sound.
