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

Zhu Yufeng looked down at Lilith's gift, thought about it, and opened it together with Alicia's gift.

"Crystal flower seeds? And instructions?" Zhu Yufeng opened the instruction manual written by Alysia. "Plant them and wait for a few days for them to sprout and bloom... Wait, weren't these crystal flower seeds made by Alysia herself using Honkai Energy? Can Honkai Energy be played like this?"

Lilith's gift was a ring, which looked quite delicate, but I didn't know what its purpose was...

Putting down the ring, Zhu Yufeng looked at the clock on the wall and said to himself, "Birthday..."

……

The young man looked at the familiar packaging style in front of him, and it was obvious who had placed it in front of his door.

"Aliceia..." The young man picked up the gift box and said to himself, "Yes, today... is my birthday."

He walked to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He had silver hair, silver eyes, and looked cold and gloomy...

He put his fingers on either side of his mouth and tried to force a smile, but as soon as he took his fingers away, it returned to normal.

He sighed, took the gift box and walked out of his dormitory. He found Kevin and said, "Kevin, please help me return this to Alicia."

If line ending 1: Just to hug you

Tips before watching: This is an if line, so some settings will conflict with the main line. The conflicting settings are settings that I once abandoned. You can also regard it as a parallel world.

The true self cannot approach the divine shadow, and the person who embraces the world cannot embrace the traveler from another world. She made a wish to Him, turning her true self upside down and making it flawless, just to be able to... embrace him.

……

"Mei." The silver-haired young man walked up to the woman who seemed to always be more rational than emotional. He glanced at the documents and the coffee cup with stains on it beside Mei and said, "You didn't rest last night? If this continues, your already poor health will not last for many days."

"Heh..." Mei smiled bitterly, "You only have a few days left to live? You are the least qualified to say this to me, Feng? How many days do you have left? Can you still feel the pain now? Can you still fall asleep now?"

Zhu Yufeng was stunned for a moment, then said: "Mebius said that? How many people know about it?"

"Probably everyone except Grayshull knows." Mei looked into Zhu Yufeng's silver eyes, "You shouldn't have to bear all this alone."

"I didn't fight it alone..." Zhu Yufeng wanted to say this, but he swallowed it and said, "You are different from me. You still have Kevin and people who love you."

But the one who loves me and the one I love are no longer here.

Zhu Yufeng probably died after the tragedy of being restrained.

Mei was silent.

"Kevin is almost giving up instant noodles for you. You should also take care of your own health for his sake," said Zhu Yufeng.

"Humanity has run out of time." Mei did not look at Zhu Yufeng, she looked at the data on the electronic screen, "After the incident of the 12th Herrscher, we are the last remaining humans. Civilization has been destroyed, and there is not much left for us to leave for the future."

Zhu Yufeng also looked at the electronic screen. After a moment of silence, he said, "If... we use some method to gather the Honkai energy currently spread all over the world in one place, can we force the end to appear earlier?"

Mei looked at Zhu Yufeng, pushed up his glasses and said, "In theory, in the near future, these Houkai energies will automatically gather on the moon, and the end will be born. Forcibly gathering all the Houkai energies will indeed make the end come earlier, but what's the point of this?"

"Since the birth of the End requires the gathering of global Honkai energy, at the moment the End is born, another new Herrscher will be born. Will the power of the End be weakened?" Zhu Yufeng asked again.

"The End is different from other Herrschers. He is a special life form composed entirely of Honkai energy. Your idea is theoretically feasible, but it is too crazy. Where should we go, or how should we gather Honkai energy, and then find a Herrscher who has not yet awakened?" Mei said, "According to calculations, the twelfth Herrscher is the last Herrscher before the End. What's more, the Honkai energy gathered at the moment of the birth of the End is too much for even a fusion warrior to withstand."

Zhu Yufeng looked at Mei calmly, then he put his hand on his chest and stretched it in front of Mei. A white Herrscher core was quietly suspended in his hand.

"This is..." Mei widened her eyes, "Feng, are you..."

"This is Lilith's Herrscher Core." Zhu Yufeng looked down at the Herrscher Core in his hand, which was emitting a pure white and soft light. "It's really ironic, isn't it? She followed me and did so many evil things, but her heart is still pure."

"Lilith... is a Herrscher? But why..." Mei began to ponder, "All the medical examination reports..."

"I did it. At the beginning, she told me her identity as a Herrscher." Zhu Yufeng looked up at Mei and said, "I have completed the Chimera Project. Before my life ran out, I was undoubtedly a Herrscher. And Lilith's Herrscher core can help me open the door to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, allowing me to connect to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and become a new Herrscher."

"If that were the case, you would undoubtedly..."

Zhu Yufeng looked at Mei and said nothing.

Mei took a deep breath and said, "I understand. We can't make the End come into being earlier, but I can work with Mebius and the others to give others a wrong time for the End to be born."

"Thank you." Zhu Yufeng nodded.

At the moment when he was about to leave, Mei suddenly asked: "How sure are you?"

Zhu Yufeng paused for a moment, then said, "If you take the Moonlight Throne into account, I will definitely be able to defeat the End, but what happens after that..."

"I see."

"...You agreed so readily this time. I thought you would ask something else. At least rationally speaking, you should spend some time to prove the feasibility of this plan, right?"

"I can't stop a man who wants to die."

"..."

"When the time comes, I will also have Kevin and the others on standby beside Qianjie Yicheng as the second echelon, ready to provide support at any time."

"Then I hope that we can try to hold off on telling them the truth until the very end, okay?"

"..."

"I know Kevin treats me as a brother, but I still think this matter should be done by me alone...by myself, to put an end to it."

"..."

"When the time comes, Mei, please help me convey a message to him."

"what?"

"Sorry, I was the first to despair."

"……I will."

"Thank you."

Looking at the young man's back as he left alone, Mei slowly sat down on the chair, supported her forehead with one hand, and closed her eyes.

After a while, a pair of hands covered her eyes: "Guess who I am?"

"Alicia, stop making trouble." Mei said with a soft sigh.

"I saw you looking so sad the moment I came in. Anxiety is a girl's biggest enemy. Be careful not to get wrinkles~" Alicia said, "I've been standing here for quite a while, and you didn't notice anything. It's really sad. Um... is it because of what Feng said to you?"

Mei remembered what Zhu Yufeng had said, looked at the coffee cup beside her, and said, "He told me to rest for a while. At least I should do this for Kevin."

"Feng is still as gentle as ever..." Alicia looked towards the door.

However, no matter how gentle she was, it was not the kind that once belonged to her.

"As expected, I still want to see him. I want to see myself in his eyes again."

Alicia said this in her heart, then pursed her lips, looked at Mei and said, "Mei, I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"I...maybe I'm a Herrscher..."

plum:"???"

Did you know that there is already a Herrscher who has fought alongside us all the way here, and that a future Herrscher has just stepped out?

Alicia saw Mei's expression and thought she was surprised by what she said, so she quickly said, "I know, because almost all the Herrschers who have appeared so far cannot communicate, so the fact that I am a Herrscher may be hard for you to believe."

Mei came back to her senses, looked at Alicia, and said, "I... understand. So, what do you want to do?"

Zhu Yufeng was walking back to his dormitory when he saw Kevin walking towards him. He nodded to Kevin as a greeting and prepared to continue back to the dormitory.

"Feng." Kevin called him.

Zhu Yufeng turned around and looked at Kevin: "What's the matter?"

Kevin looked at Zhu Yufeng and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "We can definitely defeat Honkai, we can."

"Well, of course." Zhu Yufeng turned back.

"Regarding your body, after the collapse is over, Mei and Mebius will definitely find a way to heal you. You are the strongest fusion warrior, and they are the strongest scientists, so..."

"Kevin."

"...?"

"Thank you."

After Zhu Yufeng finished speaking, he returned to the dormitory without staying.

Returning to his dormitory, he looked at the room which had become much messier after Lilith's sacrifice, sighed softly, and began to tidy it up slowly.

He picked up a sapphire pendant, thought about it, and put it in a box with Kevin's name on it.

Then he took the crystal flower that had been placed on his bedside table. He took it down from the bedside table and put his hand on the crystal flower. The crystal flower gradually shrank and finally turned back into a seed.

He placed it in a box with Alicia's name on it.

He was ready to return all the gifts he had received from them over the years.

He came with nothing and will leave with nothing.

"Please forgive my last bit of willfulness, Kevin. You have to live a good life with Mei this time." Zhu Yufeng said to himself.

He looked at the photo of Lilith and him at the amusement park on the bookshelf. He took down the photo frame, took out the photo, and turned to the back of the photo. It said: "Lilith will always love you."

Zhu Yufeng looked at the familiar handwriting on it, then turned over the photo and looked at the girl in it who looked exactly like Alicia, except for her hair and eye color.

"We will meet again soon, on the other side of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers." He said this, and the Herrscher core in his body seemed to react, as if someone was leaning gently on his shoulder.

"Maybe, I'm Alicia's sister~"

"Although I don't really want to believe it, I can't refute it..."

"But you have to remember, Lilith, I only like you~"

"...but I..."

“Shh…” The silver-haired, purple-eyed girl pressed her index finger on his lips. “I know what you want to say, but no matter when or where, I will be here, with you.”

Zhu Yufeng put the photo back into the frame and sighed.

If I had known you earlier, if I had known myself earlier...

"How could you agree to such a plan?!" Kevin looked at Mei, who had a calm face, in shock. "Let him become a Herrscher when the End is born, and let him face the End alone?"

"He promised that there is a 100% chance of winning."

"Did he say he could come back?!... Sorry, that's not what I meant, Mei, I..."

"I understand how you feel, Kevin. This is his choice."

"No, I want to go with him..."

"Kevin."

“…That’s my brother, the one who walked side by side with me since the Seventh Herrscher incident.”

"Then do you want to tarnish his consciousness and glory as the last fallen angel?"

"He is a hero like us."

"But only now do we know what he is carrying, and this is something only he can do. He originally wanted to keep you in the dark until the very end, but I think you should at least know that when that moment comes, you will be needed to stop the rest of the people."

"..."

"Kevin, we have no choice. Even if you don't accept or admit it, can you change his mind?"

"..."

"Kevin."

"……I see."

The man knocked hard on the wall. With his strength, he could have easily broken the wall, but when his fist landed on the wall, it was so weak.

a few days later.

"Feng, so you are here. I have been looking for you everywhere." Alicia found Zhu Yufeng holding a big box in his hand. "Regarding that matter, I have always..."

"It's okay, it's all over." Zhu Yufeng said calmly, "It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about."

Alicia was stunned, looked at Zhu Yufeng's silver pupils, and said: "Then... what is it?"

Zhu Yufeng placed the box in Alysia's hand: "It's not a big deal... Thank you for taking care of me over the years."

"This is……"
