Collapse, survive

Fang Jie reached out and picked up Kiana, in a way that involved wrapping his arms around her waist and lifting her up like a koala, causing her to instinctively cross her legs and sit together on the edge of the rooftop.

"!"

Wait a minute, what you did last time was a princess carry. My tolerance level is still at holding hands.

Her trembling girlish heart flushed red instantly. She pushed Fang Jie away with both hands, baring her teeth and claws: "Damn it, you're pushing your luck! Let me go!"

Raiden Mei also felt...

Then I saw Fang Jie reach out from behind Kiana's back and pull her up as well, he really didn't hold back!

"?"

Kiana was very familiar with this sensation; she rubbed against it every day. This strong, firm pressure on her back, almost as if Mei was doing it willingly—wow!

Where do you put your hands when I can't see them?

She struggled even more fiercely.

"I misjudged you, I misjudged you!"

Her expression immediately worsened, and a nameless anger flared up, instantly reigniting in the girl's mind.

Not just her, Raiden Mei too...

Vulgar! Shameless! Indecent! Wanting to have multiple partners!

Raiden Mei couldn't maintain her smile: "Um, Mr. Fang Jie."

"Call me Fang Jie. Didn't we agree to start over as friends?"

Fang Jie interrupted her.

Kiana was furious: "Shut up! What kind of friend is this? Let her go and come at me!"

"Idiot, how can I, someone who loves beauty, be friends with a beauty like Mei?"

To understand Kiana, learn from Kiana, and surpass Kiana.

"Moreover, just like you planned to assassinate me, she was also somewhat 'unruly' and was planning to take action."

If Kiana hadn't acted quickly, Raiden Mei would have almost drawn her sword as well.

He has occupied and modified all three imaginary channels that connect the current Herrscher to the projection of the end. That is an invasion that is more fundamental than physical and mental invasion. Unlike Welt, who made a decisive move after deeply understanding and realizing the significance of doing so, they will only instinctively 'act up'. If left unattended, it will only add trouble for no reason.

"What kind of nonsense is that?" Kiana fumed, while Raiden Mei was also dumbfounded.

She did indeed feel a strange tremor, as did Kiana when she made her move... However, the girl feared that power and instinctively avoided it, so she naturally froze and didn't move. Only now did she take the initiative to reveal it.

Yes, he knew it. He was a Herrscher, the Herrscher of Thunder, the one who would destroy the world.

Do you like someone as dangerous as me?

Not out of fear?

Not pity?

Do you really like it?

Even though it's a base form of lust... so what? What's wrong with lusting after beautiful girls?

The girl's sensitive, fragile, yet inexplicably resolute heart was at a time of great change, and her resistance was not as strong as Kiana's; she was indeed delicate and easily pushed over.

The sun was shining brightly, and the white clouds, following the girl's breath, were transformed into cat clouds by Fang Jie's mood—literally cat clouds, with dazzling golden ripples at their edges, displayed to them.

Kiana, who just wanted to roll on the ground, didn't want to watch: "Damn it, why have you become so strong? Where did you go, the one who used to grimace when I pinched you?"

She was heartbroken and missed the time when he was still weak and vulnerable; how could she have missed it?

"I've improved. The first stage was killing Honkai Beasts, the second stage was fighting Herrschers, the third stage was beating Herrscher of Ascension, and the fourth stage was fighting the End. This is a very reasonable path to becoming stronger."

Putting aside the question of what Herrscher of Ascension and the End are, and where exactly it makes sense, it's only been a short time.

Kiana stared at him with wide eyes, unable to break free from his embrace, enjoying Mei's embrace, and even feeling that it wasn't bad... Damn it, how could you think like that? This guy is too greedy.

Fang Jie sat quietly on the rooftop, feeling it was reasonable to hold them all together, and to stimulate the Herrscher personality in this way.

It's not a serious matter, but it reduces trouble.

After all, the surge of imaginary channel energy, which is now gathered on the basis of his three major powers, will continuously stimulate their Herrscher personalities.

Kiana gradually lost her focus, and Raiden Mei also felt dazed.

"I...I have a headache, what's wrong?"

Kiana kept her right hand, which was bent at the elbow, covering her forehead, which was throbbing slightly, and her heart was beating very fast.

From the side that Raiden Mei couldn't see, her eyes were gleaming with gold.

However, Raiden Mei felt the same way; the luxurious crimson-purple color also danced in her eyes.

"Take a deep breath. Headaches are normal. Get some sleep, and you'll feel better when you wake up."

Fang Jie hugged her tightly and gently kissed Kiana's forehead, which made her dizzy, to ease her mental problems, which were comparable to Saibo's psychosis.

A kiss is more effective than medication in calming her down. The warm, bright sunlight shone down, and Kiana's expression held an indescribable sadness. She wanted to rouse herself and push him away, but she only felt…

coming soon.

Another version of myself.

She actually knows everything.

The next second, a surge of golden light filled her eyes, turning cold and merciless, as if looking down at Fang Jie and the half of her body that surrounded her, like looking down at insects.

"Human, how dare you offend the gods?"

Her tone was nothing like Kiana's; it was incredibly majestic, like a high and mighty queen, arrogant and aloof.

She should be sitting on the throne right now, with her long, black-stockinged legs crossed, swaying her exquisite and beautiful feet, and preferably resting her chin on one hand—instead of being held by someone with a kiss mark on her forehead.

Raiden Mei was also in a daze, as if a nightmare had returned. She heard a cold, mocking laugh in her ear, and a chill and fear gripped her heart. It was a fear that was hard to forget, even with the willpower to implant a bomb in her heart.

A mere bomb?

The crimson hue in his eyes reached its peak, and his entire body crackled and sizzled.

"Mei?"

Kiana's eyes still held a hint of confusion and bewilderment, a longing for a familiar yet strange object of desire, acting as a catalyst to completely...

They both transform!

With the Conquer Gem within reach as her power bank, it's no surprise that Sirin becomes increasingly active.

Fang Jie wasn't surprised at all. Not to mention them, he wouldn't be surprised if the Far East Demon Cave suddenly became a reality and cleared its name ahead of schedule. He knew what he had done. If the Cocoon of the End wasn't full of traitors and the Will of Honkai was full of traitors, he wouldn't have been so reckless.

"Indeed, you all look beautiful even like this."

Fang Jie met their gazes frankly, his stare becoming even more unfriendly.

Just a slight fluctuation in the Herrscher's personality caused Kiana and Raiden Mei's favorability to drop, to the point that they attacked him... He should have been beaten up.

"Humph!"

Kiana scoffed; this man was too close.

In an instant, a portion of the power from the Herrscher of the Void, who once carried 28% of the 'Power of the End' and climbed to the sixth core, erupted. That was not Kiana's gentle, single-person power of destruction.

The destruction of the city was instantaneous, even though she currently lacks too much power and only retains the ultimate control over Honkai energy; otherwise, instinct alone would have been enough to cleanse the surface.

A streak of light flashed and disappeared into Fang Jie's forehead as if it didn't exist, piercing through his temple: "Die."

—The Spear of Subspace!

Projecting reality from another dimension, transforming imaginary numbers into real numbers, Sirin, whose eyes shine like gold, delivers a fatal blow with every move.

Fang Jie had no objection to this.

"Then why don't you manifest it? Because you're just trying to scare me."

"Shut up!"

Xilin couldn't stand this. If she wanted to die, it was simple: she'd just twist her temples!

"Zizzi——!"

At the same time, Raiden Mei, whose eyes were flashing with electricity, suddenly increased her strength and took the initiative to hug her.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't a help.

"My half, what are you doing?!"

Celine was extremely dissatisfied. She had originally planned to kill the blasphemer cleanly and decisively, and thus break free from her bondage...

“Foolish, your little tricks are meaningless, and you even dared to steal my power.”

Raiden Mei's tone was also arrogant and aloof, showing considerable disdain for this guy who relied on the Honkai energy contained in the gem in her heart to act.

Didn't she realize that weakening herself would only make it harder to defeat Fang Jie?

Sirin didn't need to realize it, and continued to draw on the Honkai energy from the Gem of Conquest: "This power was originally mine!"

Now it has been fragmented, stolen, and even transformed.

How can the power of God be transformed into something that is close to humanity?

Blasphemy!

—It reminded her of that woman's power, purifying Honkai energy. You dare to say that?

Kill you!

The Queen trembled, her whole body numb from the shock of the Herrscher of Thunder. While the suppression from Fang Jie was hateful, the backstab from half of her body enraged her even more.

"I'll suppress you right now!"

Imaginary number transformations again...

Can't change.

The nearby electromagnetic defenses prevented Xilin from breaking through the surrounding defenses, even the bloodless, sub-space spear that emerged from Fang Jie's head—

"So your stupid little tricks are completely meaningless."

Raiden Mei's sneer was extremely sarcastic, and the Spear of Subspace froze in mid-air.

Tiny flashes of lightning flickered in the air, responding to 'thoughts' and also severing 'thoughts'.

Sirin was also imprisoned.

While being released from his restraints, he was also restrained by Raiden Mei.

baffling!

Celine couldn't understand.

Raiden Mei let out another cold laugh.

Want to blur the space?

Yes, Sirin can become ethereal and hide in the imaginary space, so most of the constraints of the real space can no longer be applied to her, but that is only the vast majority.

Coincidentally, Fang Jie showed Raiden Mei how to apply the restraint using that small portion.

Of the three imaginary channels he currently occupies, the power of the Law of Reason goes without saying; it is to store treasures in the form of 'knowledge space' and respond to visitors—it is software.

The Herrscher of the Void is even easier to understand; the structural space itself is the cornerstone, the hardware, for creating the subspace containing the engineering.

What about the Herrscher of Thunder?

It can't be just an extra, someone who gets humiliated and has no presence whatsoever.

No, that's not it. She is incredibly powerful and incredibly beautiful, serving as the interface that responds to all thoughts, connects everything, and is the 'operating system' written into the world.

In short, the power to "make lightning tear through the sky and strike stars with thunderbolts to punish the heavens" has taken a step towards spiritualization, unifying humanity's vague 'thoughts' and their awe, fear, respect, and love for the world's majestic light... thus opening up a new era of fantastical divine power.

Yes, God.

Human memory, human thought, and human emotion constitute what we call a person; then the world's memory, thought, and emotion are sufficient to be called a divine fantasy.

Electromagnetism is the crucial medium connecting all of this. Human consciousness and soul often exist in the form of electrical signals, and Soul Steel uses this to connect the Herrscher core and humanity.

This is the program that Fang Jie ran using the 'first aspect' of the Black Tower. It's a perfect project. Compared to Ling, who was constantly using the company's network to collect viruses and data in an attempt to erode the End, he directly used the foundation of the simulated universe to build a 'restraint system'. The power of the 'true' and the special nature of his destiny space allow him to project reality as long as he has his own understanding and physical objects.

Therefore, upon arriving in the collapsed solar system, he used [Heaven] to develop the hardware, wrote in the running program, and then used [Resonance] to connect it with the world and the visitors.

The difficulty of this process was not as great as pulling the common duck out of the imaginary renormalization group and smoothing out the world's feedback or resistance when the imaginary tree was implanted.
