I loaded the dream game

Then, it is set that each Great Collapse will end automatically when the number of humans drops below half of the threshold. After all, unlike the Collapse Will of the Collapse World, Xia Zhi comes to save the humans of this world, not to completely destroy them.

Based on the above reasons, the setting of the Herrscher of the End is cancelled, the upper limit on the number of Herrschers born is removed, and a random cycle mechanism is added. As for the specific random method... just flip the cards.

Finally, in order to prevent the emergence of traitors, it is set to eliminate all emotions of the Herrscher, and on the basis of telling the world and humanity the truth, give him an absolutely rational way of thinking, and at the same time add an error correction mechanism for retracting his abilities.

This completes the setup!

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and submitted the settings.

[This modification will consume 1892 dream points. Do you want to confirm the modification? ]

Even after making so many compromises and concessions, does it still require consuming nearly 1,900 dream points?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, turned around and looked at Kirisu Mafuyu who was still a little confused and said:

"So... Mr. Mafuyu, are you ready to witness the birth of a new world rule?"

As he spoke, he gently loosened his grip, allowing the leaf in his hand to turn into a point of light that floated and rose, as if blending into this world, and gradually dissipated in front of the two people.

"The collapse is about to come."

Chapter 55: The Girl's Battle

The girl walked aimlessly on the noisy street.

The bustling crowds around her, the dazzling array of goods on the street stalls, the passers-by who were either laughing and chatting, or walking in a hurry, or arguing and quarreling...but none of these seemed to have anything to do with her.

She simply pulled her large grey hat down low, tightened her cloak of the same colour around her, and quickened her pace in an attempt to get through the bustling neighbourhood.

however……

"Pfft..."

A dark shadow suddenly ran out from behind the corner and bumped into her. The girl's body shook slightly, but she did not fall down. However, the hat on her head fell to the ground, revealing her long red hair that was originally covered.

"It hurts..."

The boy rubbed his butt and got up from the ground. When he noticed the girl in front of him, he quickly bowed his head and apologized to her: "Yes, I'm sorry! I didn't see you just now... Are you hurt anywhere?"

"By the way, is this your hat? I'm giving it back to you. Also, I'm really sorry."

Seeing that the girl didn't say anything, the boy was a little confused. He could only apologize to her again and left.

"..."

Taking her eyes away from the boy's departing back, the girl silently lowered her head and looked at the gray hat in her hand, her eyes gradually becoming a little confused.

"Master..."

The girl murmured.

Where did you go? And why did you leave me alone?

Or...did I do something wrong?

"..."

The girl gently brushed off the dust on the gray hat and put it back on her head.

When she raised her head again, the confusion in her eyes had turned into determination.

"Just wait, you bastard Master, I will definitely find you back!"

Then, no matter what method I use, I must ask you why you...

"boom--!"

The sudden loud roar pulled Lilia back to her senses. She immediately turned around to look in the direction where the noise came from, but she only saw a building in the distance collapsing with a loud roar.

There were cries and shouts for help. The Jijie Market Street, which was bustling just a moment ago, was now in chaos. People were fleeing in all directions, trying to get away from that chaotic and dangerous place.

Lilia ignored the chaotic crowd fleeing around her, and stared at the rising smoke in the distance and the tall black shadow looming behind the smoke.

"what is that?"

Looking at the giant white monster with pink stripes gradually emerging from the dust, Lilia couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment on her face.

She had never seen such a monster before. It didn't look like a wild beast, nor was it any known race that she knew of.

Lowly beast?

That's not right, the beasts are also abnormal individuals that have mutated from wild animals, and they have some characteristics of their original species. Such characteristics are very obvious, so obvious that when people see a beast-like bear, they will never mistake it for a koala or a sloth.

If it is nothing, then what is this monster? And why did it suddenly appear in this bustling area of ​​the city?

"boom--!"

Another huge roar was heard, and the sturdy high-rise building made of stone bricks seemed like tofu at this moment. It was easily smashed by the monster and collapsed.

Feeling the slight tremor coming from the ground, Lilia knew that she could not remain in a daze any longer.

She took a deep breath, pressed down the gray hat on her head, kicked her legs hard, and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

next moment--

"Hey!"

With an unpleasant and harsh sound like metal being cut, the knight sword in the girl's hand cut deeply into the monster's body, but that was all.

Lilia felt as if her sword had hit a piece of tough metal. The strange touch coming from the sword also confirmed to her that this monster was not just hard on the outside, but its entire body was as tough as metal.

The girl made a "tsk" sound and tensed her body.

A faint phosphorescent light began to appear, as if surrounding her petite body.

The magic power in the body began to burn, circulating throughout the body like blood, activating the muscles of the whole body, and then...

Lilia drew out her sword, kicked the monster's body hard with her right foot, and jumped high.

Looking down from a high place, the white sword blade drew an arc in the air, and at the moment when it changed from an upward trend to a downward trend, it suddenly accelerated and fell down!

A streak of white light fell from the sky, and the compressed air at the front end of the sword exploded, forming a circle of white air ring formed by the condensation of squeezed and atomized water vapor. The air ring expanded rapidly and emitted a brief but extremely strong explosion.

Then, a stream of light falling from the sky pierced through the monster's head like a spear. The huge force also caused its head to sink and it was nailed to the ground.

The girl fell from the sky, drew out the spare sword from her waist, took a deep breath, stomped hard on the ground, and rushed to the monster again.

"..."

Almost no one could see clearly what she did. They only saw her walking around the monster, and the sword in her hand tore the monster apart, dividing it into hundreds of large and small pieces of meat, without any sign of life left.

——The fourth sword, romance.

Lilia breathed a sigh of relief, walked forward and pulled out her knight's sword, wiped off the black blood that was as sticky as oil on the sword, and put the sword away.

However, just when she thought that the matter had finally come to an end, another roar coming from afar attracted her attention again.

"...Are you kidding me?"

Looking at the dozens of familiar or unfamiliar white monsters wreaking havoc in the city in the distance, a drop of cold sweat couldn't help but flow down her forehead.

What Lilia didn't know was that it wasn't just this city. Almost at the same time, the same scene occurred in dozens of human cities, large and small, on the continent.

This is the first time that the disaster called collapse has officially arrived in this world.

Chapter 56: Teacher Madoka cannot see through the boy

After setting the concept of "collapse", the points of Xiazhi suddenly dropped from four digits to close to single digits, which can be said to have returned to the long-lost poverty line.

Fortunately, these points were not wasted. Less than two seconds after he submitted the settings for confirmation, the task prompt [Main Task 1 (Completed)] appeared in front of him.

In other words, in the game's judgment, under the constraints of the new rule of "collapse", the upper limit of the human population has been completely fixed, and there will never be a day when the curse limit is broken.

"What... did you do?" Kirisu Madoka looked at the green spots of light that surrounded her like fireflies and then quickly disappeared, and a feeling of uneasiness and confusion arose in her heart.

"Just like I said just now, it just added a new rule to this world." Xia Zhi withdrew his gaze from the game interface in front of him, turned around and looked at her and answered.

"Can such a thing be done?" Kirisu Madoka was skeptical, with more doubt in her mind.

"Just assume that I can do it." Xia Zhi still gave the same ambiguous answer.

"..."

After hearing this answer, Kirisu Madoka unconsciously touched the pendant on her chest.

Although I don't know the reason, it's not the first time that the boy has done something beyond common sense, so something like this should not be impossible to do... right?

Kirisu Madoka originally thought that as they spent more time together, she had gradually become familiar with and understood her former student, but now, she suddenly felt that the boy seemed to have become strange and full of mystery.

So, what are the new rules that the boy is talking about?

Kirisu Madoka only found out the answer to this question when they left the forest and arrived at a nearby town.

"..."

The broken walls, collapsed buildings, scattered rubble and debris, the towering buildings and wide streets showed the former prosperity of the town, but now all of this has turned into ruins of broken buildings.

"What... happened here?" She looked around blankly and didn't see any signs of living people. There was only land stained dark red by blood and human corpses.

She shuddered when she saw this and lowered her head involuntarily. Only when she saw that the girl in her arms still had her eyes closed and was sleeping quietly did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"It should be 'collapse'."

Xia Zhi looked around and saw the corpse of a Honkai beast in the ruins not far away. Judging from the scattered scars on it, it must have been killed by many people working together.

Sure enough, in this world full of magic, there are also people who can fight against Honkai beasts with just their flesh. No wonder the humans in this world can stand out from countless powerful races step by step and stand at the top of the world.

"Honkai Impact?" Kirisu Madoka was a little confused. She remembered that the boy seemed to have mentioned this thing before.

Is it related to that?

"It's normal not to know." Xia Zhi replied in a matter-of-fact tone: "After all, this is a new setting that has only been recently introduced."

A new setting that has only recently appeared?

Recalling what the boy had said before, Kirisu Madoka suddenly felt a chill rising in her heart. Looking at the boy in front of her, she felt as if he was a strange person.

"So..." She opened her mouth with a slightly pale face and said in a dry voice: "All this was done by you, Xia Zhi, right?"

"To some extent, that's true." Xia Zhi replied after thinking about it, without denying it.

"…Why are you doing this?" Kirisu Madoka asked, staring at him closely.

She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She hoped that the boy was not the kind of person she thought he was, and that he did all this for a reason.

"Like I said before, Mr. Madoka." Xia Zhi looked at her and said in the same tone: "Saving the majority by sacrificing the minority is also saving the minority by sacrificing the majority."

There is no conflict between the two; the objects of salvation are just different.

Xia Zhi glanced at the girl who was still sleeping in Kirisu Madoka's arms and thought to himself.

"In the end, I saved the people of this world, but they have to pay the price themselves."

In Xia Zhi's opinion, this is not an excessive thing, just like buying things with your own money, it is a matter of course. After all, you can't expect other unrelated people to voluntarily pay the price for your survival, right?

Kirisu Madoka opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but a slight noise suddenly coming from the side interrupted her words.

She turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a small hand reaching out from the ruins not far away.

"Help... Help... Please... Save me..."

Intermittent cries for help were heard from under the ruins.

There are still people alive!

Kirisu Madoka's heart tightened and she hurried forward to rescue, but before she could take a step, she saw Xia Zhi draw the sword from his waist and walk to the top of the ruins.

"Wait! Xia Zhi, what are you going to do!?"

Xia Zhi ignored her and thrust his sword under the wooden beam.

Then, lift it up suddenly!

Before Kirisu Madoka could even say "no", she saw the huge beams and stones on the ruins being pushed to the sides, revealing the small figure buried underneath.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Kirisu Madoka finally breathed a sigh of relief. She hurried forward, handed Eluke in her arms to the boy, bent down, picked up the little girl from the ruins, and began to check her injuries.

Ignoring the sobbing little girl and Kirisu Madoka who was comforting her in a low voice, Xiazhi withdrew his gaze and looked up at the blue sky in the distance.
