Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

"boom!"

The loud sound immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding Honkai beasts, and they all rushed towards Li Mo's location.

But he couldn't care less because the Honkai beast under him was not dead yet.

"I have great power... No matter where it comes from, I'll kill it first!"

The confused Li Mo lifted up the Honkai Beast and smashed it into the ground, then lifted it up again and smashed it into the ground again... It was a simple attack, without any fancy moves, but it actually dealt a fatal blow to the Honkai Beast.

What Li Mo didn't know was that he was left-handed. If he used his left hand, he could easily crush the Honkai Beast in his hand with just one blow.

"We have to leave quickly. There are too many of them. We have no choice but to fight our way out."

Li Mo swallowed his saliva. For some reason, he felt that these adult Honkai beasts were not that scary after all.

I should be feeling terrified.

After several hours, Li Mo killed people along the way and suffered many injuries on his body due to the flying debris and collapsed buildings, including his arms, thighs, chest, forehead... Li Mo didn't care at all, as if these wounds were not worth mentioning at all.

But even after a long time, the wound still did not heal.

When Li Mo exerted too much force, he finally felt pain and the wound was severely torn.

Looking down, I saw that my entire body was covered in blood.

The danger was not over, so Li Mo could only force himself to continue killing until he met the Kaslana family who came to rescue him.

The brave and warlike Francis quickly led his people to clear out the Honkai beasts behind Li Mo, and then came to Li Mo, who was being treated in the rear and almost tied up like a mummy.

"What's your name?" Francis asked.

"My name is..." Li Mo's brain suddenly stopped working. He paused and said, "I don't know."

"Amnesia? No, that's not important. You possess immense power. If other families were to see it, you would probably never be as free as you are now. They might exploit your weaknesses and demand you do many things, or even capture you for human experiments."

"I want to live."

"why?"

"I... I don't know. I feel like I have to live..."

"Interesting little guy." Francis extended his rough hand and invited Li Mo. "Whether you have lost your memory or not, if you join Kaslana, I guarantee you absolute personal freedom in the name of the head of Kaslana. You just saved many people, and you possess the qualities of the Kaslana family. No matter who you were before, as long as you follow the rules of the Kaslana family, I will protect you."

"Yes, yes, maybe in the future we can work together to protect the people and fight against Honkai!" The Kaslana family member behind Francis echoed with a simple and honest look on his face.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Mo agreed to Francis and extended his "left hand".

Afterwards, Li Mo followed Francis back to Kaslana's territory, where he met a lively, cute and quirky little girl with white hair.

At night, the breeze rustles and gently taps on the doors and windows.

Li Mo walked to the window, heard a knock, and opened the window in confusion.

A white-furred ball jumped in with a whoosh.

"Hey, I knew you weren't asleep. My name is Kallen, Kallen Kaslana!"

"My name is... Otto. This is the name given to me by Senior Francis."

"Hmm, Otto, why are you covered in so many wounds? Did you come back from the front lines?!"

"Uh... well, I woke up and found that there were many Honkai beasts around me. I killed a few of them and was injured along the way. But I heard from Senior Francis that I seemed to have attracted a lot of Honkai beasts along the way and saved many people."

"Wow! Really? You look like you're the same age as me, yet you're on the front lines killing Honkai beasts. I've been talking to those old-timers in my family for a long time, but they won't let me go. Humph! You look down on me!"

Kallen puffed up her cheeks like a little hamster secretly hiding food. Her cheeks were round and plump, making her look particularly cute and a little childish.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his long eyelashes trembled, and his face was full of grievance.

Although she tried hard to press her lips into a straight line, the smile that inadvertently revealed at the corner of her mouth was like a flower that bloomed inadvertently in spring, making people want to get closer to find out.

"Hmph, forget about them. Otto, can you be my friend? Next time I want to go to the frontline with you. I want to know if I can become a brave soldier like you!" Kallen's voice was a little coquettish, like a stream in the woods gently lapping against the pebbles on the shore, crisp and pleasant.

His eyes were burning as he spoke, and those clear blue eyes were filled with passion like a surging spring.

Li Mo wanted to refuse because he himself did not want to go to the front line again, let alone take the daughter of his benefactor Francis to the front line. If something happened, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life and would be ashamed to face Francis.

"Please~Please~" Karen held Li Mo's hands with both hands and swung them back and forth like a swing.

Li Mo suddenly realized that he... seemed like he might not be able to refuse this girl's request.

"it is good."

After saying this, Li Mo began to regret it.

"Great!"

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Kallen danced with joy.

Li Mo stared at Karen blankly, the corners of his mouth rising involuntarily.

It seems... not so bad.

Three years later.

Sixteen-year-old Li Mo joins the Destiny Valkyrie Corps and stands on the front line of resistance against the collapse.

Women in this era generally had stronger physical fitness than men, so most of the members of the army were women, but he himself was an exception.

Li Mo's innate physical fitness and fighting instincts enabled him to possess extremely proficient fighting skills without any practice, allowing him to gain great military exploits in countless battles, large and small.

During this period, the Apokalis family repeatedly sent people to discuss with him. After learning that he was not a member of the Kaslana family, they wanted him to join the Apokalis family and gave him extremely rich benefits that ordinary people could hardly refuse.

As long as Li Mo agrees, he will rise to prominence, even becoming the deputy captain of the Valkyrie Corps. He can even secure a high position in the Vatican.

But Li Mo refused. He just wanted to be with Karen and realize her dream together.

As if this was the meaning of his existence.

As for the claims about remaining true to one's original aspirations, fighting to protect civilians, and implementing the teachings of the Kaslana family, they were all lies.

From the beginning to the end, Li Mo only wanted to help Karin realize her ultimate ideal in life.

Saving the world didn't seem like a big deal. If he and Kallen joined forces, they would definitely be able to save the people from the Houkai.

Fame, wealth and power are not important.

As time went by, Europe's economic situation gradually declined. Civilians not only could not afford to eat, but also faced the life-threatening danger of the Black Death.

Faced with this situation, the Church of Heaven's Mandate joined forces with the Apokalypses.

In order to divert domestic conflicts and turn the spearhead towards foreign countries, they launched an unjust war of aggression and advanced towards the ancient country in the east.

It's called the Eastern Expedition.

Li Mo joined the team and continued to invade Shenzhou with Kallen.

At that time, everyone in the team, whether they were frontline soldiers or logistics personnel, believed that Kallen Kaslana, the strongest S-class Valkyrie, could easily lead them to victory.

Indeed, during the years of the Eastern Expedition, the Mandate of Heaven's army had never been defeated. Even if there were brief periods of decline, as soon as Kallen took action, the situation would fall like a landslide in the Mandate of Heaven's Eastern Expedition's favor.

No exceptions.

Over the past few years, Li Mo had mostly been taking care of Kallen's food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and had had fewer opportunities to go out and fight. He was closely monitored by the people sent by the Apokalyps family.

Li Mo could understand that this was because he didn't want to gain fame and honor.

If you want to go further and get more opportunities to climb up, you have to compromise, give in, and become one of them.

In response to this, Li Mo chose silent resistance. Since he was not allowed to make any military achievements, he would just serve as a logistics officer.

Anyway, he didn't think about how high he wanted to climb.

He just wanted to watch Kallen realize her dream, that's all.

(12)Phantom Thief·Purple Kite

Kallen's glorious image enjoyed great fame in the Heavenly Mandate Army during the Eastern Expedition, and she was the bright moon in the sky that everyone could only look up to.

Until she was defeated in the Kipchak Steppe and defeated by the Red Kite Immortal in one move, the Tianming Army suddenly collapsed and its morale dropped greatly.

After returning to Europe, the failure of the Manifest Destiny Crusade exacerbated domestic class contradictions and economic problems.

The Mandate of Heaven took a step towards becoming a demon. The Church issued "indulgences" to exploit the common people. The priests of the Mandate of Heaven abducted the wives and daughters of the common people on the streets, abused their power to imprison those who were disobedient and tried to resist, tortured them into confessions, and trampled on their self-esteem.

This period is a nightmare for ordinary people, a purgatory for the righteous, and an abyss for idealists.

The Church of Heaven's Mandate and the Apokalypse family united again, compiling all kinds of slander and bad facts, causing the Kaslana family's voice and reputation to drop to freezing point after Francis' death.

As the S-class Valkyrie of destiny and the strongest warrior in Europe, Kallen has become a pariah, despised and hated by countless people.

At first, only a few ignorant children were instigated to insult her in public, calling her a war criminal and the culprit for their poverty.

But gradually, everyone realized that Kallen would not use her power to have them arrested, nor would she curse back, but would choose to endure it silently. Then, the pain and resentment that they had endured for a long time could no longer be suppressed.

The common people did not dare to insult the nobles, so they could only vent their accumulated hatred and resentment on Kallen, who would not fight back. Although they were somewhat restrained, they were still extremely dirty.

Kallen gradually reduced the number and duration of her patrols, spending most of her time in the army, feeling unhappy.

She didn't understand. She was not the culprit at all. Why were so many people willing to believe the false news that was obviously false?

She has been saving the world and helping civilians!

Kallen didn't dare to tell these words to the Valkyries in the team. Besides the fact that some of them were traitors, the bigger reason was that the others couldn't accept that she was such a corrupt captain.

During the years of the Eastern Expedition, everyone praised her too highly. Even she herself almost believed that she was omnipotent...

But the slightest move from the immortal of Shenzhou was enough to exceed the limit of her ability, a height that she could never reach in this lifetime.

At that time, I questioned the Red Yuan Immortal: Why are you so powerful, but you choose to stay in Shenzhou? Shouldn't you go to save more people?

After a moment's reflection, the Red Kite Immortal replied, "I don't have that much power. Saving the world is no easy task. Sometimes... we struggle to even save a single person." "Key holder, consider carefully what you, having inherited this power, should do."

After receiving the reply, Kallen fell into confusion and began to doubt whether her actions and motives in the first half of her life were just and correct.

Even such a powerful immortal claimed that he could not save the world, and could only live in seclusion, protecting the land. So what was I, who was easily defeated by the immortal? A buffoon showing off his mediocre skills on stage?

Kallen couldn't understand herself on her own, nor could she get the answers.

Li Mo knew very well that Karin might not know what to do in the future, so he took the initiative to come to her side and give her some advice.

He knew that Karen was in urgent need of a motive that could convince herself.

Before, the goal was to fight against the collapse and save the world, but now a new goal is needed.

Kallen: "Otto, why are people looking at me like that? Aren't we...always helping them? Those nobles don't treat the common people as human beings. Shouldn't everyone be on the same side with us, Kaslana?"

Li Mo: "Karen, have you read the novel?"

Kallen: "Novels? You mean those storybooks from the theater? I haven't read them much."

Li Mo: "I'll take you to see one. Dress up a little and don't reveal your true identity. Let's go as ordinary people and see what the world looks like from their perspective."

Kallen: "But, the theater isn't something that just anybody can go to, right? A lot of people can't even afford to eat these days..."

Li Mo: "You're wrong. If we only use the vast majority as a reference, then the poor will always be the majority, and slums are the reality of the world. But this is not the case. Their suffering needs no words to describe. There are such people in every era."

"It is difficult for those who cannot even satisfy their hunger and hunger to contemplate the true nature of the world, nor can they understand the relationship between nobles and commoners, power and obligation."

"What we need to do is understand those 'pioneers' who rose from the bottom but were unable to advance further due to the limitations of the times and society. They know what it's like at the bottom and have witnessed the scenery of the upper class. They are the most fair and objective storytellers of this era."

“And the theater is one of those places where the best job the average person can have in their life is probably there.”

Kallen was a little angry, puffing up her cheeks and saying dissatisfiedly, "But the theater has been describing the helplessness of the nobles recently, and then belittling me."

Li Mo smiled and said, "Go and have a look. I know someone who is quite talented and dares to face oppression. Her performance today will give you some new insights."

Kallen: "Okay."

After a brief exchange, Karen was persuaded by Li Mo, and after changing clothes, the two went to the theater together.

Inside the solemn and luxurious opera house, the lights are brilliant and light and shadows are intertwined.

The theater was packed with audiences dressed in gorgeous costumes, their eyes sparkling with infinite anticipation for the upcoming play, and the air was filled with an indescribable excitement and solemnity.

In the center of the stage, a huge curtain slowly opened, and a spotlight landed precisely on a corner of the stage. Shakespeare, wearing a purple iris mask, spoke in a sonorous voice with a solemn expression.

As the plot progresses, the scene changes constantly, from a prosperous palace to a dark forest, from a bustling market to a quiet monastery.

When the music plays, it is sometimes passionate and surging, shaking the heart like a storm; sometimes it is delicate and gentle, like a gentle spring breeze blowing through the heart.

The actors wore carefully designed costumes and had delicate expressions on their faces. Every movement and every look showed that they were deeply immersed in their roles.

This is the best opera house in the whole of Europe. Even though many people in reality are still worried about their food and clothing tomorrow, for the nobles, it is just a matter of missing a few entertainment programs.

Shakespeare's talent is unquestionable, and his various novel ideas and unique performances have won the applause of many people.
