Collapse, survive

The legacy left by previous civilizations is meant to lock down your technology.

To not perish for dignity is for dignity to perish itself.

Therefore, the current civilization has no dignity, and at its end, it can only accept the dominance of the previous civilization.

They couldn't even support the heroes; they were just a hindrance.

It's no wonder that Fu Hua had to admit that the human side of the 'Fire Seed Project' had failed.

Fang Jie had no further expectations for this; he was simply angry at their lack of ambition and acted on impulse—having borne the will of 'Walter,' he was qualified.

“Now, Ms. Fu Hua…”

Fang Jie revealed that he hadn't intended for Fu Hua to watch the fireworks with him. Under Fu Hua's gaze, he changed his mind and said:

"Our exchange was quite pleasant. I hope you can bring my peace to the world, or continue the war, I don't care."

Fu Hua nodded silently: "I will persuade them."

Otto, don't blame me, Fu Hua thought silently.

As someone who knew part of Otto's plan, she knew very well that between Otto and Fang Jie, she could only choose the latter, as Fang Jie didn't seem like someone who would cooperate with Otto's plan.

Unfortunately, if he wanted to, he could turn around and kill Otto at any time. No amount of Soul Steel could save him, and it would also affect ordinary people. The worst-case scenario would be the loss of all ordinary people, just like in the previous civilization.

But Fang Jie respected her and gave her face, as long as Otto didn't show his face in front of him.

Fu Hua knew exactly what choice to make.

Whether it's destiny, anti-entropy, or even the World Serpent Fu Hua, there's the Face Fruit.

It's time to put out the fire. Otto is determined to escalate the situation and force the 'heroes' to sacrifice themselves to fight the evil aliens, but Fang Jie is not about to let him have his way.

Oppose Otto; great things can be accomplished.

Fang Jie gave Rita one last look, which sent chills down her spine, leaving her puzzled.

"And one more thing."

Sister Tazi didn't get the short end of the stick!

No.

He snapped his fingers: "Snap."

The fireworks that had been exploding peacefully in the sky suddenly stopped, and under the watchful eyes of all those who had been keeping a close eye on the area, they and Sister Tazi watched in horror as the fireworks rose again.

And that direction is—

Destiny Headquarters.

……

……

The headquarters of Destiny is located within a giant floating island group in the Mediterranean Sea above Europe, consisting of nine main islands.

It is the administrative center of Schicksal and the organization's core research facility. It is generally not observable by others and is mainly used to support Schicksal's official duties. Its core functions are anti-Honkai research and Valkyrie training.

This organization, which claims to be dedicated to combating the Honkai and operates day after day, is exceptionally busy today.

Then, in that instant, the piercing alarm blared at its loudest—

"Honkai fission bombs are coming! And silver bullets too!"

The news was so outrageous that there was a moment of deathly silence in the bustling base.

Has Anti-Entropy launched its attack?

That's despicable! Taking advantage of our vulnerability while we're still fighting aliens...

However, now is not the time for condemnation.

"Your Excellency, are you alright? You look a little unwell..."

"That's not important, Amber."

Otto, his face contorted in the office, strained to confirm the news, about...

"You mean, the Honkai fission bombs that were detected en route, including the Entropy Silver Bullets, are all heading this way."

"Yes, Your Excellency, missiles launched from all branches toward Oceania are heading this way. I suggest you take cover. The shield generator may not be able to withstand such a violent attack."

Over the past few hours, Schicksal has suffered a setback comparable to its first encounter with the Herrscher of the Void, as no weapon has been able to break through and reach that place.

Even the strongest Valkyrie... whether she was the strongest before or the strongest now, has lost contact.

One is trapped in that space, and the other... well, we can only say that Destiny is trying its best to chase after them in its space carrier, hoping to rescue them as soon as possible.

Now, an even more serious situation has emerged.

"The target launched a counterattack, using our weapons again. The operating system has been hacked—all of it!"

"No, Amber, this is not a retaliation, but a mockery, a mockery of humanity's powerlessness."

Otto couldn't understand why the aliens, who were completely unfamiliar to him, were so hostile and wouldn't say a word to him—it must be that evil Far Eastern fox spirit who had bewitched the aliens, turning them into henchmen to take revenge on the world.

hateful!

hateful!

What should I do?

Otto had personally witnessed how formidable the opponent was; he almost didn't escape, and even re-uploading the signal from the other Soul Steel body caused some wear and tear, with lingering phantom pain that was hard to dispel.

That's a dangerous ability; we should try to prevent it from falling into his hands.

"Any news from Anti-Entropy? They still refuse to reveal Joachim's whereabouts. Have they really... stooped to associating with the fox demon?"

Previously, when he saw the silver bullets flying over Oceania, Otto thought that anti-entropy was still anti-entropy, at least those people still had their own persistence and pride.

but now……

The tide has turned, at a time like this!

The war has begun, a continuation of the previous war, the nuclear war between Destiny and Anti-Entropy that raged half a century ago, a one-sided war waged by Destiny. It wasn't until the advent of the Silver Bullet that Destiny restrained itself somewhat. Yet, it has now broken out without any reason at a time when all of humanity is facing a crisis of annihilation and when the world needs the unity and cooperation of all nations the most.

This is truly... how shameless, how brutal, how utterly depraved!

Just because you've experienced misfortune doesn't mean you want others to suffer even more.

Reverse Entropy, Joachim, you are truly despicable now!

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, there has been no news from North America. They are refusing to communicate, and it cannot be ruled out that their communications have been cut off. We had previously overlooked this possibility."

Amber reported the latest situation, also feeling helpless, even though communications hadn't been cut off...

Your Excellency, are you awake? You just threw a storm at the Americas not long ago.

"Ouch~, this is terrible."

Otto couldn't think of a good solution for a moment. Even that immortal was missing, and this was another 'Joyce'—who just happened to be on the opposite side of him!

Nuclear weapons have arrived, and these disposable weapons, which should have run out of fuel, are being launched much faster than they were ever intended to be.

Thousands of stars spewed out long trails of flame, streaking across the sky in trails of cloud-like arcs, falling laden with death. Originally projected from various bases, ships, and submarines around the world and aimed towards Oceania, these annihilating objects now flew toward the one who gave the order.

A series of blinding white lights, symbolizing destruction, suddenly lit up the sky over the Mediterranean Sea, just like the grand spectacle in Oceania, visible across half the earth's surface.

Now that things have come to this, inside the Schicksal headquarters, which has erected its shield, some people, whether Valkyries or ordinary people, have even forgotten the fear of death, and their minds are blank.

Then came more light...

The various branches of Destiny continued to supply ammunition, all of which was fired at headquarters. Calling for a halt was useless; the war was started by you, but it would not end with you.

Vast, blinding swathes of destructive light, along with swirling, turbulent gray-black clouds, clashed and intertwined with fiery red smoke, amplifying their power.

The sky and sea stretching towards the horizon were dyed in a twilight-like orange-red, and the dazzling flashes made it seem as if one were seeing countless suns.

Compared to their powerlessness over Oceania, the scorching energy released from the explosion's epicenter was burning and engulfing everything in its path. Deadly radioactive particles, carried by the raging air currents, first soared high into the gray sky, then, with a terrifying determination to destroy everything, scattered across the vast land, bringing catastrophe and death.

Fortunately, Schicksal's shield technology is very advanced, and it can resist even the attacks of Herrschers to some extent, unless there are multiple Herrschers.

Fortunately, the Honkai Fission Bomb is one of the few powers capable of threatening the Herrschers and simultaneously striking Schicksal Headquarters in multiples.

This was only the first wave. As the second wave of countless falling stars arrived, the Fate Floating Islands trembled as if they had been hit by a heavy punch.

Everything visible to the naked eye, everything outside the energy shield, was like a child's scribbles in the face of the violent shockwave, the outlines of mushroom clouds painted with a hazy, mottled gray until the shield began to break.

—This world... is probably doomed.

Even the superhuman B-class Valkyries who could face collapse head-on were stunned as they put on their tactical goggles, watching all this, understanding that this was probably the last of their lives.

After all, those blinding lights contained terrifying energy that no Valkyrie below 'S' rank could withstand.

Even an S-class might not be able to withstand it if it is exhausted.

Cecilia was like that. Under the Honkai Fission Bomb launched by Otto, her beautiful face felt scorching, her skin was charred in an instant, her muscles were torn from her bones, and the blood in her body began to boil. The intense heat cooked all her organs, dried up every drop of liquid, and finally burned everything to ashes.

And what she did last was—

Embrace the dying Celine.

Therefore, there's no need to listen to a word Otto says. Evil people always have countless excuses for doing evil, which are self-contradictory, sophistry, and driven solely by their own desires.

This kind of justice in the world must be upheld through individual actions.

What a pity, what a pity...

The third wave of Starfall, which truly brought destruction, was mixed with duds.

.

P.S.: Good morning, noon, and evening everyone! Hope you're happy, but I'm not. Did you check the weather forecast? Another cold front is coming! Like I said, where did this come from? Is it still April? (＃￣～￣＃)

Chapter Sixty: Saving the World in the Name of the Red Kite.

"Ruined……"

The red-haired and blue-haired doctors silently watched the silver bullet fly towards Destiny, something they had always wanted to do but couldn't. They had no idea when their operating system had been hacked.

That was completely beyond their comprehension. Even though both of them possessed the intelligence to hack into the Schicksal headquarters for a short period of time, the kind of 'hacking' that was happening right before their eyes was something else entirely.

It's even more exaggerated than artificial intelligence; the information itself has come to life.

"This is the power of the Herrscher, which is unreasonable. But what exactly is this power, or how many powers does it have? According to the information left by the previous civilization, it is suspected to be the Herrscher of Void, the Herrscher of Wind, and the Herrscher of Ice, but it has also shown an incredible electronic intrusion ability. Is it the 'Outer Key'?"

"That's the only possible explanation, Dr. Tesla. Our plan has failed. We can't detect the target using radiation, and we can't even figure out how it infiltrated us."

If I had to name it, it would probably be 'mental power'?

However, the medium is not spiritual power, but a corrosive virus. As it continues to evolve, more and more of its wonderful uses are being discovered. Its most distinctive feature is that soulless machines cannot resist it.

If there is a soul...

Fang Jiehui showed mercy.

He's not some trashy star, he doesn't stop and keep coming back when he's hypnotized by sticks...

In short, given the current situation where Fang Jie is deliberately using outdated technology and spreading erosive viruses similar to 'sky loops' by restricting his actions, and using quantum signals to transmit information between sky loops to form an independent network, it would be no problem for him to manipulate global military bases at any moment.

Aside from a few special places he also avoided, the planet held no secrets for him.

This is also the foundational work that will be left for Yae Sakura to gather information and avoid being misled; otherwise, the solution could be even more efficient.

To achieve scanning, he could also directly expand his force field, extending it in the form of 'lines' to release invisible matrix-like strips that could penetrate the planet and engulf everything within his domain.

The nerve length of just an average person is enough to circle the Earth; it's more than enough.

Once this project is completed, it will be possible to perform zero-interval space warp-through, just like entering or leaving the subspace. It's not just him; anyone with his permission can use this 'subspace,' including the planet itself, to directly take it away.

Going even further, in the form of waves, information and data are integrated into the planet, reshaping the world, thus unifying 'thought', feeding on 'desire', achieving the expansion and growth of life, and perhaps even qualitatively transforming the long-term accumulated soul fluctuations, thoughts, and various cognitions of humanity, ultimately giving birth to 'divine awakening', creating Gaia and Alaya...

The Stigmata Project, you know, have you heard of the Stigmata Terminal?

In return, the intrinsic world will be torn from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, sunk into the Sea of ​​Quanta, and all ordinary people in the current civilization will be killed.

There's no need to worry about it collapsing anymore, as it's already been cut.

Yu Tu will probably be the first to target his Stigmata and attack.

Therefore, a gentle and harmless 'aerial loop' is fine, and an independent network can be built. Yae Sakura is also very comfortable with this kind of spiritual connection.

This effortless and lenient approach left the top scientists, who were already under immense pressure and greatly alarmed by the ongoing exploration, feeling powerless and inevitably looking dejectedly towards the Mediterranean.

In the Americas, a visible halo illuminated the sky and spread across the land.
