What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

Salome retracted her earlier suggestion of "using military power to enhance one's own strength." Now that she had to rely on the Destiny Headquarters for everything from eating and drinking to sleeping, what was the point of rebelling?

"It's alright, Salome. You have to take things one step at a time. We can develop things slowly."

Shigure Kira comforted him, saying that it was clear that only this guy was still out of the loop.

No matter what your teammates say, just support, encourage, and cheer them on (?).

"Hahaha... I don't have much experience either, but you have to take the first step, right?"

Theresa said.

She was willing to leave and establish the academy because she disagreed with her grandfather's approach.

Now, there's another goal: to fulfill the promise made to the boy who's going to space.

The headquarters of Destiny is the independent residence of Cheng Lixue, an A-level Valkyrie. Her owner had just returned home when she saw her master already out of bed and wandering around.

"Master, are you alright?"

Cheng Lixue performed the disciple's salute with perfect precision, without a single mistake.

"It's alright, you'll get used to it."

Fu Hua was wearing the training clothes from Mount Taixu, and Cheng Lixue's residence was decorated exactly like the usual environment. Even with the loss of memories, there were still remnants that resonated with him.

"Master... has anything come to mind?"

Cheng Lixue was somewhat excited. If Fu Hua could recover this memory and recall her identity as her closed-door disciple on her own, instead of having it told to her by her, the significance would be completely different.

"Thank you for your kindness, Cheng Lixue, but my condition is incurable and there is no possibility of recovery in the future."

Fu Hua's sincere tone and polite language sent a chill down Cheng Lixue's spine. Even the usually calm Taixu Sword Heart began to surge with emotion.

But soon, Cheng Lixue calmed her mind, took ten deep breaths, and then opened her eyes, saying to Fu Hua:

"It's alright, Master. I will always stay by your side and protect you."

Even at the cost of their lives.

"No, no, no, there's no need to be so extreme, Lixue."

Fu Hua shook her head, denying Cheng Lixue's words. Before Cheng Lixue could offer any explanation, Fu Hua spoke first:

"Lixue, you can only be yourself. You should not be anyone's appendage. I hope you can live your own life instead of hanging yourself on this old tree of mine."

Feather Dudu burns away his own memories, but more feathers will take over the memories generated by his hyperthymesia.

Forget the past, and countless more futures will flood in.

Whether Fu Hua at this moment is Fu Hua herself is a matter of philosophy, and philosophical debate is what Fu Hua is least good at.

Kevin hasn't even fully figured out "why birds can fly?" yet, so asking Fu Hua to think about whether she is still herself with missing memories is like asking her to just go back to the first rated power of Feather Dust and fight again.

“Master, look at what you’re saying. To me, you should be the master I take care of wholeheartedly, so what’s wrong with you doing this?”

“…Alas, you foolish child.”

Fu Hua didn't hold back and pointed it out to Cheng Lixue in front of her, but this closed-door disciple still looked like she was happy to accept it.

Fu Hua understood that no matter what she said, it would be of no use. Cheng Lixue's condition was quite close to the first stage of demonic possession, with deep-seated obsession.

However, Fu Hua doesn't have any commendable methods for counseling others. She has always been the most handy weapon and the longest-living warrior, rather than the most professional psychological counselor.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this state today.

"Hoo—cough, let's not talk about that anymore. What are Master's plans for the future?"

Cheng Lixue asked Fu Hua a question, seemingly oblivious to the evaluation Fu Hua had just given her.

If you can't persuade the other party, it's better to seek common ground while reserving differences. If your master doesn't understand your persistence, you don't need to persuade your master to accept it.

"After I recover from my injuries, I will continue to travel around the world and eliminate Honkai Beasts—this is what I have been doing all along, as you know, Ritsuki."

As expected, Fu Hua's words did not surprise Cheng Lixue.

That's how it should be. Cheng Lixue could travel around with her master, but no, she is a Rank A Valkyrie of Destiny and must obey orders.

"Li Xue knows that everything her master taught and imparted to her has been remembered in her heart."

Fu Hua and Cheng Lixue exchanged a smile, both able to see the other's confusion and determination.

The Taixu lineage should be like this, steadfastly committed to protecting humanity and defeating the Honkai.

Only when the Honkai is destroyed can the Taixu lineage be freed from this responsibility.

"Siegfried, Siegfried, we're heading to Anti-Entropy headquarters."

"Oh... I see, I see. It seems I was overthinking it."

"No matter how many people the Destiny Faction harasses us, they are just minor obstacles for us who insist on leaving. We must hold back and not actually hurt them, otherwise it will not please either side."

"Not having to lift a finger is the best. Let me see what Walter sent me... Holy crap! He's marrying Dr. Tesla!"

As the transport ship prepared to arrive at Anti-Entropy, Siegfried and Cecilia discussed things in hushed tones in the cabin. When they saw the final message, Siegfried was truly shocked and terrified.

No one noticed, nor could they have noticed, that in Kiana Kaslana's dream as she slept, there appeared a monster that seemed to be the size of a planet, yet also seemed to be just an older sister with long blue-purple hair.

It/She seemed to be waving at me, reaching out, but before that could happen, a golden figure blocked my way—

"Get out of this world, Janna!"

PS: I originally planned to finish the 6k chapter in two parts, but as I was writing, I thought I'd just shorten it to 5k per chapter and cram the changes in the earth into it. It was more painful than eating soy sauce, but I finally managed to finish it.

Next step, sleep!

Chapter 50: Janna, when did you arrive? (3k)

Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Did you hear me?

[A distant rumbling sound]

[In the darkness (referring to the universe), a soul-shaking awakening begins]

"Quack! I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it either!"

Through the full-view cockpit, Zhao Si saw the enormous object blocking his way. It was less than 800 kilometers away, but by visual estimation alone, it was 4000 kilometers wide.

Australia is approximately 3700 kilometers long from north to south, meaning that this behemoth could destroy the sixth largest country on Earth simply by crushing it with its own weight.

"A giant, red, ray-like creature, a planetary Honkai Beast that roams freely in the universe... Who else could it be but Janna?"

Zhao Si didn't think too much about it at first. It was the second time the game had collapsed, so he didn't have any objections. He could just fight whoever came to him—unless he was targeted by the Cocoon of the End, in which case he had already run away.

"Damn it, this collapsing world, I knew you were up to no good, System..."

Honkai Impact 3 is Honkai, Honkai Impact 3rd is Honkai, Honkai Impact 3rd Starry Sky Railway is Honkai, and Honkai Impact 2 is Honkai.

"But why did it appear only after that? What exactly happened on Earth?"

[You'll understand when you return to Earth, won't you?]

"You're such a troublemaker. You're the one who sang the song. So, I'm the one who'll be dying next, huh?"

Zhao Si didn't have time to think about why Janna was able to bypass the Honkai energy tide and arrive at this solar system, even though they weren't part of the Tree Sea system, yet she appeared in this small solar system.

A cocoon? Was it placed in by the Cocoon of the End?

Zhao Si couldn't confirm where this fleeting guess came from, but the one thing he was certain of was—

If Janna is allowed to go to Earth to find the person she is looking for, Earth will definitely fall into disaster again. This time it will not just be a crisis of meteorite impact, but a much larger crisis of Earth's destruction that no one can stop.

Zhao Si dared not gamble that the Cocoon of the End would come to save Earth. He thought it would only protect the spark of civilization and Earth itself, in order to continue its so-called "embrace".

But Zhao Si dared not gamble. There was only one thing he wanted to do: intercept Janna here, and if possible, kill her!

"Cirin! Can you help me?"

"I will always be by your side whenever you call upon me."

Both Newtypes unleashed their power simultaneously, pushing Phoenix to its limits in a straight line of azure blue, as they met the planetary Honkai Beast whose distance was constantly decreasing:

"You shouldn't have come here, Janna!"

Before we go any further, let's rewind the time by about an hour—

Thanks to the NT of Sirin and Zhao Si, after resonating with Phoenix's psycho-framework, Phoenix once reached an absurd 99% speed of light while flying in the universe.

As Zhao Si flew past Mars and Venus, he had no intention of exploring the two planets.

Firstly, the tentacles of the Cocoon of the End had previously wreaked havoc on these two planets. If the Cocoon of the End were to launch a surprise attack while the planets were still there, the Cocoon of the End might just take them over.

Secondly, Zhao Si himself had no interest in the matter of these two planets.

Leaving aside the fact that Venus is long gone, lifeless, and utterly desolate, Zhao Si had absolutely no interest in Mars's unfinished cocoon, quantum computers, or anything like that.

There's no one to greet me when I get there, and I don't understand how to operate this giant quantum computer, or even how to enter that bubble world. It's better to simply trust the wisdom of future generations.

Thirdly, because sub-light speed travel is too fast, a glance at the cosmic scenery would be fleeting and it would pass by in a straight line.

Recalling that Frost was only 4500 astronomical units away from the solar system, which is about 0.072 light-years, Phoenix could reach it in less than a month by using the telepathic framework to resonate at sub-light speed.

According to the counts from the cockpit throughout the week, it has been three days since Phoenix left Earth.

Three days is enough time for Phoenix to fly out of Neptune's orbit, out of the Kuiper Belt, and to reach the edge of the solar system. By then, Earth will be long gone, and even the stinging sensation of being targeted by the End Cocoon will have lessened considerably.

However, Phoenix's chances of getting into Forlos are still far off, and whether he can even get into Forlos is still unknown.

Fortunately, I wasn't without ghosts along the way.

It's not a rumor that NT became a cosmic ghost after her death; the former Second Herrscher has been attached to Zhao Si ever since.

Although one cannot physically touch the other, one's spirit can sense that the other is always inside one's body...

He wrapped his arms and legs tightly around himself, as if he were suffocating, constantly teetering on the edge of a heavy, unbreathable weight.

This is not a good thing for Zhao Si.
