Collapse City, the beginning of the production of the anime version of Collapse 3

Xilin pinched Bella's chin and moved her pretty face closer and closer. 】

Bella, who was watching a movie, blushed silently.

"Bella, your modeling is pretty good." Xilin patted Bella's smooth back carelessly, "but I don't think you are very smart. You are far behind me."

Bella's face turned even redder at Celine's compliment, steam rising from her gray hair.

"Okay, stop bullying Bella." Seeing that Bella was about to faint from shyness, Cecilia separated the two with a suppressed smile. She had long seen that Cecilia was deliberately teasing Bella.

Celine made a face.

Cecilia ruffled Celine's soft purple hair, feeling somewhat curious. Her brother rarely saw Celine, so how could he know about Celine and Bella's secret plans?

Siegfried, a tough guy, shed tears. He wondered what sin he had committed in his previous life, to have three daughters and no descendants...

"Your Majesty..." Bella was dazed and couldn't tell whether it was reality or dubbing, so she shouted subconsciously.

This time, it was Xilin's turn to blush. She hurriedly said, "Hey, Bella, don't call out that shameful name again! We are just good friends, not some weird master-servant play!"

Bella fainted completely when she came to her senses.

Cecilia held Bella in her arms with an aunt's smile on her face.

[Dr. Tesla put down his phone with a stunned expression. Walter immediately noticed Tesla's weirdness. After asking, Walter learned that Xilin had sent an electromagnetic wave signal to the earth ten minutes ago.

"Meet me on the Moon, First Herrscher."

Xilin said in a threatening tone: "If you don't come, I will send four meteorites to the earth every 72 hours. Don't make me wait too long~☆"

In order to protect the world and humanity, Walter decided to go to the moon to keep his appointment, even though he knew he would be killed by the Second Herrscher. However, before going to the moon, he wanted to have a conversation with Otto.

On February 2000, 2, in the reception room of the Bishop's Church in the Tower of Babylon, forty-five years after their separation in New York, Walter and Otto finally met again and had a "friendly and cordial" exchange.

Through the structure of the meteorite detected by Einstein, Walter believed that the technology that Anti-Entropy had been looking for for many years to seal the Honkai energy was on the back of the moon, so he had to go to the appointment.

Otto thought this plan was interesting but too risky, but he had no interest in sealing the Honkai energy. He was not worried about Walter's life, but wanted him to die.

Walter glanced at Otto and didn't know what he said.

There was silence for a moment.

"Hahahaha." Otto's laughter broke the silence. Otto changed his attitude. He approved Walter's plan and asked Siegfried to fully assist Walter.

Otto shook the wine glass in his hand.

"I didn't expect you would go this far to save the lives of those ants." Otto's tone was full of indifference to human life, and his emerald eyes were full of amusement. "You are indeed a worthy opponent. I apologize for my previous unreasonable behavior."

"Respected... Walter II."】

"Otto."

Otto's heart skipped a beat when he heard Kallen's tone.

"I don't like you like this, and I don't want you to become like in the movies."

Otto quickly hugged Kallen and comforted her softly.

Otto successfully transferred Kallen's resentment from her own character in the movie to Yaqing.

……

"Ah!"

Chapter 24: Always Love Cecilia

[In the training room of the Babylon Tower, Siegfried questioned whether his choice was correct. If he chose not to save Theresa first, but chose to stay and fight with Walter, then the Second Herrscher would not have escaped, and tens of millions of people would not have died.

Using the lives of tens of millions of people to save one person. Siegfried got stuck in a dead end, he attributed the deaths of tens of millions of people to himself alone, and he was so upset that he could only use a kettle to vent his anger.

Walter Young walked into the training room, told Siegfried that the conversation was over, and informed him that he was going to go to the moon with him. Siegfried said excitedly: "I have made up my mind, no matter what the cost-"

"Stop her!"

Walter said nothing, ignored her, and turned away.

The scene came to the Anti-Entropy Yellowstone Base. The purple-haired young man saluted Walter. After Walter responded, he took Siegfried into the base. Siegfried and the purple-haired young man looked at each other.

"Tsk, Siegfried the Destiny seems to be a lazy guy. I don't know why the leader thinks so highly of him."

"Just now, I seemed to be glared at. He seems to be a very serious person... Have I ever offended him?"

Walter took Siegfried into the base. Seeing the familiar giant humanoid mecha, the universal mecha Aharato, Siegfried was stunned. That was exactly his childhood dream. He excitedly said the famous lines from the last episode to Walter, and Walter just smiled. 】

"Ryoma?!" Mei was stunned. Isn't this her father's name? When she first saw the purple-haired young woman holding the little girl in her arms, she was wondering why she looked so much like her when she was a child.

Kiana was still watching the movie with great interest.

Bronya looked at Raiden Mei meaningfully.

……

"There really is an Aharato!" Kevin was a little surprised. As a cross-era special effects work, they basically grew up watching this when they were children of their age, especially the line about the tyrant in the sky, witnessing the stars being shattered, which was very familiar to them.

"Driving a mecha is truly a man's romance!" Su was rarely more excited than Kevin. Studying medicine was just his interest, and mecha was his dream.

A man’s…romance?

Paduo thought for a while, and the bold cat actually asked Qianjie, curiously: "Does Brother Jie like mechas too?"

"Humph!" Qianjie turned his head away, "You ask even though you already know the answer."

"Won't this be an infringement?" Mei asked.

"Not really. This movie is a collaboration between Destiny and Anti-Entropy." Ya Qing said with a smile, "This is a special collaboration between Honkai Impact 3 and Alahato. After all, there is no man who has no interest in mechas, right?"

"Yes, that's right!" Kevin nodded.

"Yes, yes!" Su nodded excitedly.

"..." Kosmo seemed to have said nothing, but he said everything.

"Hmph, not bad." Qianjie agreed reluctantly.

The women looked at the men who seemed to be full of energy with confusion.

[In order not to waste the remaining time, Walter interrupted Siegfried's excitement and explained the next lunar plan to him:

After arriving on the moon, he hid Ahralato first, and then let him attract the attention of the Second Herrscher. Siegfried took the opportunity to collect soul steel samples, and then drove Ahralato to meet him.

Walter Yang was not sure whether he, Siegfried and Ahralato could defeat the Second Herrscher. They only had one chance, so he also set up a plan B.

The screen suddenly went black, causing Paddo's heart to rise to her throat. Siegfried quickly reappeared in the screen and punched the wall hard, causing the metal wall to sink deeply.

"Tsk, is this your plan B?"

"It's your freedom to choose which plan."

Walter died on crutches, six hours before launch and 6 hours and 57 minutes before the meteorite fell.

On the bridge, Walter Young leaned against the handrail silently, looking at Tesla who was conducting the final test for Aharato, and was speechless for a moment. When he called out "Dr. Tesla", Tesla's heart trembled. She knew that Walter would surely die if he went to the moon, but she could not stop him.

"Do you remember when you were little, you said you would dance with me once when you grow up?"

Tesla's smile was forced.

There are still 4 hours and 50 minutes until launch.

Walter came to an empty room, the warm sunlight shone on him. Looking at the old piano in front of him, he seemed to see his childhood self standing in front of the piano and playing.

"It's been a long time since I last played the piano... I remember that I loved it when I was a kid, and I kept begging Ain to teach me..."

"Sometimes I imagine, if I wasn't me, what kind of person would I be... maybe a pianist, a teacher, or maybe..."

"But, since I got the name Walter..."

"I lost my father, I lost the hero who saved me, I lost my original identity, I lost my life..."

"The power of the Herrscher tore apart every cell in my body. I couldn't fall asleep every night during my childhood..."

"I have never felt resentful, because this is Walter's mission."

"And, when I was in pain..."

Walter suddenly turned around and saw Tesla, dressed in formal attire, walking towards him with his hands behind his back. He smiled from the bottom of his heart, knelt on one knee, and stretched out his left hand in front of her like a gentleman.

"Ms. Tesla, could you please dance with me?"

The sun shone in the empty room. Tesla's smile dispelled the sadness in Walter's heart. She lifted the hem of her skirt slightly.

"Don't let me down, Herr Joachim."

Joachim Nokianvirtanen was startled by his real name, which he had not heard for many years. Under the elegant dance steps, Walter recalled the past, as if he saw his former companions watching the two dancing gracefully, with a bright smile on his face.

"After becoming Walter, I lost a lot..."

"But I've never regretted it."

"Because you let me know the beauty of human beings."】

"Wow, so sweet. Miss Alicia also wants to find someone to dance with!" Alicia's eyes sparkled as she glanced around, finally stopping on Mebius.

"Professor Mobius..."

Before Alicia could finish, Mebius interrupted her and said, "Don't dream, Alicia. I can't dance, and even if I could, I wouldn't dance with you."

"Oh, what a pity." Alicia was not depressed at all. "It seems that we have to wait for Eden to come back. Eden, my good Eden~?"

"Yaqing, you actually spent so much time describing the beauty before the war. All the flags were raised." Mei felt that she could already foresee the outcome.

"This is just as good as, wait for me and get married when I come back." Kevin also made a joke.

"He must die." Qianjie said coldly.

"Don't teach the child bad things, Qianjie." Ying said angrily.

"Hmph, he won't survive." Qianjie used a more euphemistic way of expression.

“It is precisely because of the courage to face disasters and die one after another that the strength of mankind can be truly demonstrated.” Yaqing said: “The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage, and the greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage.”

In the plot, Otto regards humans as ants, but he respects Walter because Walter has the courage and determination to die for ants, which is exactly what the saint he pursues possesses.

[On the other side, Siegfried was having a video call with his wife and daughter. The cute little Kiana asked her father to come back early. Siegfried didn't know what he was thinking, but he agreed with a smile on his face and promised to bring a moon stone as a gift for little Kiana.

Perhaps seeing through Siegfried's concealment, Cecilia took little Kiana away from the screen and let her play alone, leaving Cecilia and Siegfried looking at each other in bewilderment.

Siegfried comforted his wife, saying that the leader of Anti-Entropy had arranged everything. Looking at his wife's worried face, he wanted to speak several times, but no sound came out of his mouth, so he had no choice but to hang up the phone.

Siegfried, who was sitting on the installation box, seemed to be trapped in darkness. Cecilia, wearing a white dress, walked behind Siegfried like an angel.

"Hubby... I can sense that you are facing a difficult choice."

Cecilia leaned on Siegfried's back and put her hands on his shoulders.

"Over the years, we have learned that not every problem has a perfect solution, and I always have to sacrifice something for certain purposes."

"So, it's so painful for you to want to protect everything."

"But I believe that the choice you made must be the right one."

Memories of Siegfried and Cecilia began to flash back.

"Because I know that the justice in your heart has never changed. No matter which choice you make, no matter what kind of pain it will bring..."

Cecilia took Siegfried's clenched hand.

"I will bear it with you."

The screen went completely black.

"Love, Cecilia."

There are 51 hours and 50 minutes left until the meteorite falls. 】
