The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

"I am not interested in the next generation of humans. I don't care whether they can defeat the Honkai or not... Compared to the future, what I want more is the present, and your existence."

"..."

"…Why does it have to be you?"

"The story of Chasing Fire has changed. All the changes started because of me, and I will eventually put an end to it. I am the Herrscher of Time, recognized by the Herrscher of Man and crowned by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. This endless cycle should be ended by me. Alicia, she once promised me that we would save each other, but this time... I might make her sad again..."

"Since you know this, why..."

"Don't make that expression, Mebius. This isn't the you I know. Snakes don't cry, do they?"

"...Even if you say so...But if you still want to leave this time, how can you let me accept such a future? What kind of infinity is this? Let me quarrel with Alicia, Vilvi and the others every day, right?"

"How many times have you quarreled? Aren't there always Alicia and Lilith at the beginning of every day..."

“…Is this what you should be focusing on right now?!”

"…Sorry, I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Things have already happened and we have no choice. Besides, I'm not going to die, am I?"

Oh, liar...

……

The girl bound by purple silk thread opened her eyes from her sleep, and what she saw was a dark and gloomy world. The faint light emitted by the silk thread that bound her was the only light in the world she was in.

She wanted to move her body, but the silk thread restrained her movements and continued to erode her body.

"Midrash..." Mobius gently read out the name of the Herrscher who bound her here. She looked around. She understood that if Midrash wanted to fall asleep, she would not be able to wake up because of her poor compatibility with the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion. Judging from the fact that the silk thread that bound her still existed and suppressed her, Midrash was alive and well, so the possibility that Velvi and the others had killed Midrash was ruled out.

She still remembered the last words left by Midrash before she was attacked: "I will continue to write the future of all this story..."

Mastema, the Herrscher of Corrosion, was the last of the thirteen fallen angels. She was beyond everyone's expectations and did not die in the final battle. She survived in the form of a data body in the body of an armed puppet named Midrash. Then, with the destruction of civilization, the Herrscher of Corrosion and them entered into hibernation together until the beginning of civilization...

Civilization revived, and the old Herrschers awakened with it.

At the beginning, she was the first to discover the abnormality of the Midrash, because she was the one who made the Midrash. With dissatisfaction and sadness towards a certain liar, she always carried the Midrash with her. After Alicia used [Future] to create an independent imaginary space and sealed herself in it to sleep, she was reminded by the Midrash and discovered the abnormality of the Shaniyat family's holy marks...

And the almost sacrificial end of the heads of the Shaniyat family for generations...

After preliminary research, she came to a conclusion that she could hardly believe, but madly wanted to believe: that person was still alive, alive in some special form of existence!

Shaniyat's bloodline originated from him, and the holy scars passed down from generation to generation were his only connection with the original world. She also knew that Alicia had a special connection with that person and might be able to feel his presence, so she thought about asking the woman to confirm this, but she didn't dare to gamble, fearing that the other party would give her a negative answer.

This was the only straw she could grasp in the long and endless time.

She is not Alicia. She does not have the special power that Alicia has to connect her with that person. She can only rely on her own knowledge and her own hands.

For this reason, she retreated into the shadows, and conducted her research in the forbidden area of ​​the Shaniyat family. After a long time, she finally came to her conclusion that the Stigmata Project was the only way to rebuild a passage for him to return to this world, and the success of all this was inseparable from the bloodline of the Shaniyat family.

This is her plan, the [Fallen Angel Plan] based on the Stigmata Plan.

Mebius recalled everything she had done. She didn't know how long she had been imprisoned after being betrayed by Midrash. With so little information, it was difficult for her to make a judgment on the current situation.

Suddenly, she felt the space twist. In the dim light, Midrash appeared in front of her. She looked at Midrash and habitually raised a mocking smile: "What? After thinking for so long, you finally thought of a way to kill me completely?"

“Doctor, doctor, your stubbornness really can’t even soften the boss’s power…” Midrash shook his head, and a warm smile appeared on the pale puppet’s face. “Everything has come to an end. I will continue this story and let the fallen angel return to this world…”

Mebius' pupils shrank. She stared at Midrash and said, "What did you find? After you used the power of erosion to contact Shaniyat's stigmata space, what did you find?"

“Hehehe…” Midrash’s smile began to become weird. She said, “Remember Velvi said that if you tell the audience what will happen in the magic in advance, they will guess how it will happen instead of focusing on what will happen next. So… now is not the time to reveal everything, but soon, you will know…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Midrash's body seemed to melt and turned into a dark shadow. Then all the threads that bound Mebius were connected to this black shadow, shortening the distance between the two. Finally, under Mebius's cold gaze, the black shadow swallowed her.

From beginning to end, Mebius did not put up any resistance. She only confirmed one thing: Mostima had never changed.

Elsewhere, the forerunners gathered in another dark and dim world.

They looked up at the giant female puppet sitting on the throne. Qianjie was the first to start his action and launched an attack. Ying originally wanted to cooperate with Qianjie to attack the giant puppet, but she found that Su's expression was wrong.

"What's wrong, Sue?" Ying asked.

"This space has the same coordinates as the one I located initially, but the puppet named Apkronie seems to be in another space now." Su said, "Also, we only found one Herrscher of Corrosion here. We didn't notice what Grayshu and the others saw, nor did we notice the Apkronie that escaped before. We can't rule out the possibility that this is a bait..."

Ying looked around cautiously after hearing this, and then said with some doubt: "But, in my opinion, there is indeed only this one Herrscher here."

"Then let's split up into two groups. Phyllis, Aponia and I will go to the second coordinate space you discovered, Su. With the Future in my hands, we will be fine." Alicia said.

"Now, this is the only way... Wait, the Quantum Sea..." Su's expression changed, "The world that sealed Kevin before is being invaded by imaginary numbers?"

The expressions of the others suddenly became a little strange. Kevin was protected by the past in the quantum sea. The weakening effect of the quantum sea on Kevin was actually limited. Who else could want to erode Kevin's bubble except the Herrscher of Erosion? Kevin... after all, he was the pinnacle of the existing forerunners.

"And Amo is also there guarding Boss Kevin... Sister Ellie, let's go to the other coordinates located by Brother Su first." Paduo said speechlessly.

"Are you done wasting time?" Qianjie shouted angrily after breaking the ropes that were entangled around him and taking a punch from the giant puppet.

"At this time before, when you were injured and sleeping, I came here alone."

"and then?"

"Just like now, all I can see are ruins and scorched earth... not a single cherry blossom in sight..."

"Really? I don't think so, look there."

"That is……"

"This should be the last cherry tree left in the Far East. It seems that our struggle is not yet at a dead end, right?"

"... Feng, are you really as optimistic as you say?"

"...Yaksha's ability to perceive emotions is really troublesome..."

"These cherry blossoms may disappear again soon... just like our second struggle against the collapse. Even though we already know everything that is going to happen,... in the end, humans are still forced into this situation."

"Be more optimistic, Ying. At least we have changed the tragedy of the constraint. Ling is still alive and well. The Fallen Angels and Yingjie will fight the last Herrscher together. Humanity has not failed and will not fail."

"But... Feng, it has come to this. Have we really changed anything? Can the final outcome and result really be changed?"

The young man did not answer her question. He just walked under the cherry tree and placed his hand on the trunk. Wrapped in the Honkai energy, she watched the time of the cherry tree gradually go backwards, and finally it turned into a seed and fell into the young man's hand.

He walked up to her, placed the tree seed in her palm, and said, "Perhaps, this time we still cannot change the outcome of the sinking of civilization. The new era may be a little difficult for those of us from the old era to accept. The cherry blossoms of the new civilization may indeed be different from those of our current civilization... But, people always have to look forward, don't they? Let's regard this tree seed as a commemoration of the past."

She didn't say anything, but just looked quietly at the cherry tree seeds in her hand.

After a long while, she finally spoke: "I don't care about the final result. It doesn't matter if civilization starts over again. Feng, we...what I want is for you to continue to move forward with me in the next era."

"..."

"We tried our best and tried for so long, but in the end... we still couldn't save you?"

"……You knew already?"

"I... didn't mean to listen. I just care too much. I won't tell Alicia, but I really... I don't understand. We have fought to this point. We have tried our best to avoid the mistakes of the previous life, but... why did you still want to..."

"The world is still uncertain. No one can predict what will happen in the end. Don't be too pessimistic. It's just a worst-case plan. A helpless plan. It's just an insurance for the next civilization, a helpless plan to continue the human race."

"..."

But in the end, I still had to execute the worst plan, the helpless plan.

She watched the old civilization sink and the new civilization sprout. She once again returned to the Far East, planted cherry trees, and lived in seclusion, ignoring worldly affairs.

Until the Herrscher appeared before her and brought her news that she had never expected.

……

The huge puppet was finally broken under the siege of Chi Yuan and others, and the many imaginary bodies it controlled also lost their ability to move one by one after its collapse.

“Tsk… I didn’t expect this guy to be so troublesome…” Qianjie exited the collapse form, and looking at the flowing purple light on his hand, he tore off the hand without hesitation, and then waited for it to grow out again at a rapid speed (based on the fact that Theresa lost a hand in the second collapse, but grew it back with the collapse energy after a while, it is too easy for a fusion warrior to grow a broken arm, not to mention that Brother Jie’s recovery ability is far beyond that of ordinary people).

"Hey, you two, can you still move?" Qianjie looked at Ying and Chiyuan again.

"Fortunately, it's not serious." Chi Yuan replied, "It's just that Yu Duchen was used again. Compared to me, Ying, who forcibly used the zero-rated power of the Seven Thunders of Purification, might be more seriously injured."

"I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while." Ying, who had been half-kneeling on the ground, stood up and inserted the Seven Thunders of Purification into the scabbard. The severe pain in her body only made her frown slightly. "I don't know what the situation is like over there with Alicia."

“Alright, with that guy’s Key of God, what problems can they have?” Qianjie crossed his arms and snorted coldly, “Compared to this, the injuries on the two of you were obviously not caused by this Herrscher. Could it be that after the civil war hundreds of years ago, you had a second civil war?”

"Thousands of calamities, the past is like smoke, all has become empty. Don't pursue the past anymore." Su Kai said.

“All is in vain? That sounds nice!” Qianjie said coldly, “He died before us again. Who among you has let it go? That guy came here on his own, left on his own, and left behind this mess... If I see him again, I will definitely settle this account with him!”

Su was silent.

Seeing that Su, Ying and Chi Yuan had no intention of saying anything, Qianjie turned his attention to Grayshu. Eden and Velvet did not participate in the final crusade against the Herrscher of Corrosion, and stayed in the outside world to assist humans in fighting against the imaginary corpses controlled by the Herrscher of Corrosion's full-scale attack, while Mobius's whereabouts were still unknown.

Grayshu looked at Ying and Chiyuan, and finally said: "Sister Ying and Sister Hua did fight once, but it was Midrash who pushed them behind the scenes."

"Humph... First it was Kevin and Aponya, and now it's you two? Forget it, that bean sprout-like woman, that's just her nature." Qianjie didn't pursue the matter any further. "Since the fight is over, I'll leave first. You guys can do whatever you want. Hey, blind man, open the door for me!"

Su sighed softly, and was about to open the way to the real world by controlling the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, when he suddenly frowned slightly: "This is..."

"What's wrong again?" Qianjie asked impatiently.

Su said with a serious expression: "Mobius has appeared, but her condition seems a little strange... I remember that the ability of the Herrscher of Corrosion is incompatible with her body..."

"Huh?" Qianjie looked at Su, "Don't say these useless things here, what did you see?"

At this time, the outside world.

"Run! A monster has appeared!"

The crowd fled in panic. The lower body of the monster with dark purple light flowing all over it looked like a snake, and the upper body was a monster holding a scepter, controlling puppet-like monsters to attack humans everywhere.

"Hey! Rakshasa, quickly unlock this seal for me!" Li Sushang looked at the people in the fleeing crowd who were constantly being attacked by monsters, and said anxiously, "We can't just do nothing now!"

Otto looked at the huge monster and the puppets that kept attacking humans with a cold gaze. After a while, he spoke: "Su Shang, do you think we have a chance of winning against a monster like that?"

"No." Li Suchang answered straightforwardly, "But as a hero, I can never stand by and watch someone die! I'm no match for that snake-like guy, but I can deal with those small puppets and buy time for others to escape!"

Otto still didn't move.

"You Rakshasa!" Li Suchang stamped her feet. "Forget it, if you want to seal my true energy, just do it! If you want to run, run quickly. Anyway, I will never sit here and do nothing!"

After saying that, she picked up the Xuanyuan Sword and walked towards the monster that was attacking the crowd.

Otto then turned his gaze to Li Suchang, and then he looked at Cheng Lingshuang: "This doesn't look like the kind of disciple you can teach who dares to kill his master."

Cheng Lingshuang did not answer Otto's words. She just looked at Li Suchang who was trying to intercept the monster in front of her with her mortal body. The next moment, she also walked over.

Otto looked at the master and apprentice and whispered, "Did Karen think the same way at that time?"

"Void Ten Thousand Treasures, Mimicry, Mimicry of Judas, Zeroth Rated Power, Divine Grace Barrier."

The Sword of China: Final Chapter

The girl with light blonde hair staggered in the desert.

She is a remnant of the old civilization, she is the last fallen angel.

The footprints she left behind disappeared without a trace soon, as if she would disappear if she fell here at this moment, without leaving any trace.

In this seemingly endless desert, she walked forward alone, even though her body was already crumbling and cracks were gradually appearing on her. There was no sun in the sky, and it was an equally boundless nothingness.

"If this is the road to the underworld, I must give it a bad review..."

The girl thought so, but she never stopped moving forward.

Suddenly, in her field of vision, there appeared a black and white lance that would not have appeared here, but its shape was weird, and it exuded a stronger power than the God's Key that was passed down in the world.

"Black Abyss White Flower..." The girl recited the name of the lance, but she did not stop, nor did she reach out to pick up the key of God that housed the most powerful force of an era, [The Power of the End].

Because she knew that it was just the afterimage left by [time] in this disordered and boundless space.

Since I saw it, it means... I am not far away from that person...

She couldn't help but quicken her staggering steps.

In the barren desert, other things gradually began to appear. They were all things that person had experienced, traces left in his memory, and manifested here with his power...

Finally, in this seemingly endless desert, at the limit of her sight, she saw a silver-haired figure.

However, the girl's body was almost at its limit. The cracks on her body gradually spread throughout her body. Her originally pretty cheeks were now covered with cracks, and even pieces were falling off.

The man turned around and the girl stretched out her hand to him. Just before her body was about to collapse, the silver-haired young man held her hand.

"I finally found you, Boss Yufeng..."

"Fallen Angel Mostima, requesting to...return to the team..."

Her body shattered into stars all over the sky, and the road she had walked on, which had been obscured by time, now reappeared, pointing to the direction she had come from.
