The Dimensional Book of Collapse

Otto narrowed his eyes again.

"It seems that we need to call Rita over to ask her about this."

……

In this world, no one is a fool. Those who treat others as fools may be the real fools themselves.

Although it is common for latecomers to be the first to arrive, it is a universal truth that they should strike first.

In a situation of information asymmetry, a tiny suspicion is not enough to become the starting point for turning everything around.

But even so, when the chain of suspicion begins, it is like a mine cart that starts moving along the track and it is difficult to stop.

As time went on, all this underwent a qualitative change in May 2015.

Two months before Qin Mo's plan was to be implemented, a huge catastrophe occurred in Manila.

The Manila collapse left a deep mark in the history of collapse.

In the original game, this collapse had already passed in the main storyline, so not many details were mentioned.

However, it can be seen from Tianming's report that too many tragedies occurred during this collapse.

Even without the birth of the Herrscher, the scope of this collapse and the number of casualties far exceeded other major collapses that resulted in the birth of the Herrscher.

After all, there were only 300,000 deaths when the First Herrscher was born, and even fewer people died when the Second Herrscher was first born, most of which were caused by the subsequent battles.

But even if he had foreseen this disaster, Qin Mo had no way to prevent the collapse from happening.

Because this was not the man-made collapse that happened in Changkong City, but a natural occurrence.

Collapse is a disaster that occurs periodically in this world and has an unpredictable nature.

It just happened suddenly and was regarded as a natural disaster, but unlike other natural disasters, the manifestations of collapse were diverse and not suitable for public disclosure.

However, many people who have experienced it know of its existence, and it has not been deliberately suppressed. Instead, it has been recorded in another form like an urban legend.

Therefore, those who want to save Manila must either directly defeat Honkai and resolve the Cocoon of the End, or evacuate everyone there, but neither of them is something Qin Mo can do now.

How many people will die in this collapse?

The original record showed that there were more than one million people.

Do we need to find a way to save them? How?

"Master, we are all ready."

The commander walked up to Qin Mo, who was staring at the earth on the big screen, and spoke gently to wake him up.

"Commander, do you think I am doing the right thing?"

Qin Mo came back to his senses and looked at the beauty behind him. There were some things he was not willing to tell his close ones, but he was willing to tell these artificial people.

why?

Is it because you are afraid of being feared and scolded by others?

He could have tried to save them, but he did nothing and just watched them die.

In order to create momentum and for his own purposes, he turned himself into the person he hated the most.

Maybe it's not that he is the way he hates the most, but he has been like this from the beginning. It's just that the original self had countless excuses, powerlessness, self-preservation, and all kinds of reasons.

But now... these excuses are gone, and he can only face his own nature.

"Master, it was you who saved us from the spiral of self-destruction, and it was you who allowed us to fight the Honkai Impact for the humans on this planet. These are all the merits you have made."

The commander spoke softly, "Just like I once did, in your opinion, Lord, was it right for me to do that?"

Unlike Qin Mo, the commander's question was not a question, but an answer.

"In the final analysis, our choices are all compromises with the world. The world never gives us many choices, and the so-called right is nothing more than the result obtained from a certain perspective."

Chapter 3 War Preparation Diary

As long as I have no conscience, I will not be condemned by it.

After all, Qin Mo is still a man without conscience. He can sit back and watch the collapse happen without any condemnation from his heart.

The only thing he was worried about was whether the people he was close to would reject him because of this.

But as long as you keep it secret, there will be no problem!

Although he said this, Qin Mo still made preparations in advance. He used his own abilities to recall all the YoRYA troops around the world and transported them to the preset locations.

However, it must be said that the YoRHa troops, which originally numbered only in the three digits, have grown to more than two thousand people in this world, less than a year after arriving there.

Even this number is still steadily increasing.

In their original world, the Moon server simply viewed the YoRHa force as abandoned pawns, so they never invested a lot of resources in its development.

But it is different in this world. Qin Mo vigorously promoted the development of the YoRHa troops. After all, he still hoped to rely on these artificial humans to replace the Valkyries to fight against the Honkai.

Qin Mo has no conscience, and the androids don't care about their sacrifice. After all, in their view, sacrifice is also a means to achieve the goal. After all, the androids now have the technology to upload and save, which allows them to "revive" in the bunker and rejoin the battle.

Without discussing any ethical or philosophical issues, at least the resurrected androids are no different from the original ones.

Another thing worth mentioning is...

The technological development of the YoRHa troops does not seem to be included in the assessment of Honkai strength.

The intensity of Honkai will increase with the development of the Niwa civilization. It is a test of humanity by the Imaginary Number Tree. However, the YoRHa unit was not included in the assessment because it does not seem to belong to human civilization.

Qin Mo once tried to let the YoRHa unit pass on some technology to the people of Anti-Entropy. As a result, he obviously found that with the popularization of knowledge, Honkai became stronger.

Although the changes are small, some fluctuations will be noticed under professional monitoring.

So Qin Mo gave up the idea of ​​popularizing artificial human technology, although he himself could be considered a human being.

But he himself didn't understand much, so he just let the YoRHa unit run on its own and he was responsible for the overall management.

Compared to the YoRHa troops in the Automata era who had no sight of their goal and had been fighting for a thousand years for an empty goal, the current life with a clear goal and plenty of free time is much better.

The mental illnesses that were originally caused by system disorders due to strong pressure have also improved a lot.

But artificial humans can also have mental problems... Qin Mo finds it magical.

The actions of the YoRHa troops are all carried out in secret.

Originally they were distributed all over the world, and the absence of one or two people would not be noticed.

Every member of the YoRHa unit prepared sufficient supplies, suspended their activities during this period, and began preparing for the impending Great Honkai Impact 3 from the beginning of May.

Although Qin Mo remembered that the great collapse occurred in May of 15, he did not know the exact time.

He used the power of his substitute to search his memory thoroughly and found out that when he played the game, he did not open the so-called destiny file record in the game, and even skipped many plots.

I knew about Manila Honkai Impact 3 because it was mentioned in some of the game dialogues and when I was reading posts online, the name Anna Shaniat mentioned the place where she and Chen Tianwu first met, which was in Manila Honkai Impact 3.

So all we can do now is wait.

He carried a special watch-type alarm device on his hand. At Qin Mo's request, the volume of the alarm was loud enough to scare a person to death, and it was also to prevent him from not noticing the alarm.

After all, even if the ringtone is turned on, people often fail to hear the phone when it rings for various reasons.

All that's left to do next is wait.

Although he said he was waiting, in fact, in order to prevent others from noticing anything, Qin Mo's usual pace of life did not change much.

After all, if others knew that I had ignored so many people in Manila, the internal conflict would...

Qin Mo didn’t know whether it would explode, but it was still a hidden danger.

In order to record his daily waiting, he found a diary and started updating it every day.

May 1st: Today is the day I start writing my diary, to record my daily wait, to alert myself and review my work progress. Today is the first day of Labor Day, so I have a day off. Honkai should also be a day off, so I played games with Kiana for a day.

May 2nd: Still no collapse, I accompanied Mei and Yulandel shopping, and it turned out that I couldn't compare with them in terms of talent for shopping.

May 3rd: Otto seemed to have discovered something, so Yulandel went back early. I had originally planned to take Mei to the amusement park, but was discovered by Kiana, so it turned into a team-building activity and the original nightlife schedule was cancelled. Damn Kiana, I'll remember this grudge.

May 4th: The holiday is over. Hestia dragged me to play games for a day. She said she wanted to secretly train to defeat Kiana. Can you two game masters really tell who is better? In the evening, I took Seele to see Bronya, who was going to extend her training.

May 5th: Yulandel sneaked out again. It seems that Tenmei noticed the news about the YoRHa unit, or it had noticed it a long time ago, but because they were only dealing with Honkai, they chose to leave it alone. In the past few days, all the members of the YoRHa unit all over the world seemed to have disappeared, which made them pay attention. Yulandel asked me if something happened, but I fooled her with other things.

May 6th: The price of fooling around has come. Even though Youlandel is such a grown-up, her sleeping posture is still as bad as ever. She kicked me to the floor. When I got home in the morning, Mei seemed to have noticed something was wrong. It looks like I will have to work hard again tonight.

May 7: Coaxing Yulandel...

May 8: Coaxing Mei...

May 9: Coaxing Youlandel...

May 10: Coaxing Mei...

May 11: Qin Mo, oh Qin Mo, how could you be so depraved? The Great Collapse is about to come, but you are still here running around for a little bit of love. You must not do this tomorrow! I will fight them tonight!

May 13th: I slept all day yesterday and didn’t update the comics, but I don’t have to worry about being sent knives at St. Freya Academy. I decided to stop doing anything extra from today and wait for the collapse to come. But now that summer is approaching, the Valkyries’ outfits seem to be getting cooler and cooler.

May 14: Watching Valkyrie at St. Freya's Academy...

May 15: Watch Die Walküre…

May 16th: I was caught by Mei and can’t stay in St. Freya Academy tomorrow.

May 17: Watching the android girl in the bunker...

May 18: Should I take back the ability I lent to Yulandel? They can catch me even if I run to the bunker?

May 19th: I was watching Valkyrie on Destiny and was caught by Rita. Did she install a tracking device on me?

May 20th: I went to Shenzhou Commercial Street to see a beauty and was caught by Kiana. It turns out that every time I was exposed, it was because of this guy. Is this how you can use the power of the Herrscher of the Sky? Use it to locate me! ?

May 21st: The collapse has not yet come, I decided to stay at home and concentrate on updating the comics...

Chapter 4: The Collapse of Manila

Collapse always happens suddenly.

The confrontation between humans and Honkai in this world is always accompanied by surprises and sadness.

After all, fighting against Honkai Impact is not a dinner party or a duel in a competition arena. We will not make an appointment with you, nor will we emphasize any morality.

He also finished writing the preparation diary on the 21st. At 4:40 in the morning of the 22nd, Qin Mo was awakened by the alarm.

"..."

At this time, when almost everyone was still asleep, the collapse broke out.

The time difference between Manila and the Far East is only about one hour.

Although some special professions might get up at this time, but at least in St. Freya Academy, even Fu Hua would not get up so early for morning exercises.

So Qin Mo felt a little unhappy when he was woken up by the designated communicator.

But he also knew the true meaning of the ringing sound that almost filled the entire villa.

"What's wrong? What happened? What happened?"

The first one to rush out was Wuliangta Jizi on the second floor.

Others were also woken up one after another.

It’s just that because nothing has happened recently, and Qin Mo didn’t tell anyone else, no one took it seriously.

Only Wuliangta Himeko, who had a strong sense of responsibility, was a little worried.

"I really want to say it was just a misunderstanding, but I'm sorry."

Qin Mo said as he put on his coat: "A major collapse has occurred that affects the entire city. A Herrscher may be born."

"What!!"

Everyone who was still a little sleepy suddenly woke up.

Qin Mo turned on the communication screen under the gaze of everyone, and the image of a communicator with standard YoRHa troops was projected into the air in front of Qin Mo.

"Master, three minutes ago, a massive catastrophe broke out in the Manila area."

As soon as the communication was connected, the communicator quickly reported the situation to Qin Mo.

The YoRHa unit discovered the outbreak of Honkai in the Manila area as soon as it happened, because all members of the YoRHa unit were preparing for this day and even temporarily put aside other tasks at hand.

The androids don't need to sleep, so even in the middle of the night, they will be the first to notice the collapse.
