After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

Perhaps from that time on, a part of human beings had already surrendered to the Collapse in their hearts and lost hope in resisting it.

At that time, it was Aponia who helped humanity regain its spirits. With her special ability [Discipline], she gave humans the commandment of [Never give up hope].

Thanks to this, humanity was able to regain its strength and once again raise the banner of fighting against the Honkai.

But only Aponia...she did not give herself any commandments, but she still persisted because she had already seen true hope in Mellie's dream.

When a person is in deep despair, even a tiny light like a firefly can become the brightest ray of light in that person's eyes. For Aponya, the holy swordsman who can defeat all evil is the ray of light in her eyes.

"...I have tried to persuade Aponya, but maybe Mary did something, anyway..."

Jeanne sighed softly, "Of course, in every way, this has not had any impact on Aponya. It is better to say that she has become extremely strong and indomitable. At this point, I can no longer say anything about her thoughts."

"After all, I'm pretty much the same."

Before joining the Fire Moth, Dusk Street had experienced several Honkai attacks, and each time Jeanne used Aponia's body to defeat the Honkai beasts. In the battles, Jeanne realized that she alone could not resist the increasingly powerful Honkai.

After joining the Fire Moths and participating in a crusade against the Herrscher arranged by Merry, Joan of Arc realized this more clearly - that was a battle against the Ninth Herrscher, and she also lost the holy flag that could protect everything in that battle.

To resist the pseudo black hole that is powerful enough to swallow a continent.

But even so, she couldn't resist it completely.

"Tiger, I can no longer fight." Jeanne said, "Or rather, the only strength I have left is the one-time use of La Pucelle. And I am not sure if I can defeat the Herrscher."

"So, like Aponya, I also hope that you can lend your power to this world."

The cute version of Jeanne lowered her head: "I know this is unfair to you. You have saved the world too many times. I can't rely on you anymore, but——"

The conversation did not continue.

But the saint's meaning has been fully conveyed.

Looking at the two people who were praying and asking for help from him, Xia Chuanhu sighed heavily: "Really... no matter how many years have passed, similar situations will happen in front of me."

"The defeated gods asked me to destroy the powerful enemies from outer space and protect humanity."

"The king of a country asked me to save his daughter who was kidnapped by a monster."

"The refugees in the wilderness asked me to escort them to the next village."

"No matter which world or era you are in, you humans always say something that means something similar, which makes me feel helpless and emotional every time. I have said it many times that I will not interfere too much with the development of humans."

"but......"

Reaching out his hand, Xia Chuanhu nodded at the Q version of Jeanne's head and then held Aponia's hand: "I have never refused any of your requests before, because I know that the reason you pray to me is because you humans have done the best with your own strength."

"And when humans try their best and are unable to overcome the obstacles before them, I will lend a helping hand to you humans."

"It's the same this time."

Staring earnestly into Abonya's eyes, into her clear and holy soul, Xia Chuanhu made a promise once again, just like he had done countless times before: "I have indeed received your prayer, Ms. Abonya. Leave the rest to me with confidence. No matter how great the despair that has brought you down is, I will destroy it thoroughly!"

"You and the rest of you just watch carefully."

"Even if you can no longer fight, even if your hearts are crushed by despair, you cannot close your eyes."

"Merry showed you my past, and I will show you my present, and the future I will definitely bring you."

This is another promise.

This is also the umpteenth promise.

But no one will doubt the authenticity of this promise, because every previous promise has indeed turned into a reality in the past.

7. Qianjie: Do you think you will win?

The conversation with Aponya and Jeanne ended with Natsukawa Tora making a promise to them.

Although from Xiachuanhu's personal point of view, he did not think that he was worthy of Aponia's trust and expectations, and thought that she was a little too defenseless towards a stranger she met for the first time, but considering the influence of Mary and Jeanne on her, it was a bit unrealistic for him to ask her to change now.

In the final analysis, he has always positioned himself as the "Nameless God". Even though he has been silently protecting humans and the planet since the mythological era, he has never left his real name in any mythology.

He needs no followers, nor does he need faith.

But since Aponia had prayed to him so sincerely, he didn't mind responding to her expectations. What's more, [Fighting Honkai and saving the world] was one of his current goals, and the two did not conflict.

"But that being said... the Third Herrscher has not appeared yet, and I am a little helpless."

With the current combat capability of human beings, as long as there is no Herrscher, all kinds of Honkai events can be handled. Even if there is a Herrscher, it may not pose an absolute threat when the World Serpent has several heroes. With this in mind, Xia Chuanhu may not have many opportunities to take action?

(Forget it, let’s go find Vita first. I don’t know how she is getting along with the children.)

Previously, Xia Chuanhu and Vita had split their forces into two groups.

He and Cocolia went to talk to Aponia, while Vita went to play with the children with Padua Felice. Dr. Tesla and Einstein also followed. Perhaps the two of them were giving the children easy-to-understand physics lectures at this time?

To be honest, if this is true, then these children are really lucky. It is not something that can be encountered easily when two of the greatest scientists in human history teach them personally. There are countless universities in the world who are eager to invite Tesla and Einstein to give a class.

Relying on his own perception, Xia Chuanhu, who was thinking this, quickly found Vita, but -

"..."

With his hands in his trouser pockets and always wearing a mask, Qianjie was leaning against the corridor wall next to the door, exuding an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

On the other side of the door next to him was the atrium of the Dusk Sanatorium. Just as Xiachuan Hu had imagined, Padofils and Vita were playing with the children in the sanatorium there, while Tesla and Einstein were surrounded by several boys and girls who were probably middle school age, explaining scientific knowledge to them.

Oh, not just boys and girls, there were also some adults who were simply dressed and looked a little shabby.

There are not only children in the Dusk Sanatorium, but also some homeless vagrants or poor people, and even patients, people of all ages can see it. After all, it is a [Sanatorium], and its job is definitely not just to accept orphans, but also bear some of the functions of a medical facility.

"Are you a security guard?"

Coming to Qianjie's side, Xia Chuanhu looked at the situation in the courtyard and suddenly asked, "It's rare to see you so quiet."

"We know each other well?"

Qianjie asked coldly, "Have you finished talking to that woman?"

"I guess so. You could say she treats me like a god, accepts my prayers and pleas... it's still hard to get used to it."

"Huh, you're considered a god too?"

Qianjie glanced at Xia Chuanhu through the mask and said, "That woman used to be superstitious and annoying. Especially after she met that flower farmer, her brain became even more problematic. She would treat a guy like you as a god. It seems that even if she has slept for more than 50,000 years, her brain is still stupid as hell."

"Then why are you here to help a stupid woman?"

With his arms folded across his chest, Xia Chuanhu leaned against the wall and asked with a smile, "Do you have a problem with your brain, too?"

"You can keep talking if you want to die."

"Who was the person I beat half to death two years ago?"

Perhaps it was due to Qianjie's personality, or perhaps there were already some minor frictions and conflicts between the two of them. After just two or three sentences, a strong smell of gunpowder burst out between Xia Chuanhu and Qianjie.

This is not a description, but a fact.

“Zizzizi~~~”

The ground under Qianjie's feet was gradually turning red, and the air around him was distorted due to the rising temperature.

But the next moment, as if he was competing with Qianjie, a chill suddenly blew around Xia Chuanhu, causing the temperature, which had risen due to Qianjie's emotional changes, to drop to a very cold level in an instant.

"You kid..."

"The children are still here. If you want to fight, you should consider the situation." Xia Chuanhu pointed to the courtyard, "If we really want to fight, let's go out and fight."

".....Tsk, boring."

Gathering his slightly overflowing strength, Qianjie curled his lips irritably: "You remind me of an opponent."

"Kevin Kaslana? Let me make it clear first, he and I are very different. Controlling cold air is at best a derivative of my ability. Of course, I believe the same for him. After all, he participated in the Chimera Project, so it is impossible that he only knows how to control cold air. It's just that it's easier for him to use."

"Like I tend to use the wind."

As Xia Chuanhu spoke, he raised a breeze with his fingertips and threw it lightly towards the courtyard. The cool breeze immediately blew past every child. It was summer vacation, and this cool breeze must be something they needed.

Qianjie's voice deepened a little: "You didn't use this trick on me two years ago."

"I'm a person who can use whatever I think of. My abilities are mostly like this. What? Want to try it?"

"Huh, didn't you just say this place isn't suitable?"

"Why don't we just go to another place? Anyway, I see you're itching to do something." Xia Chuanhu smiled, "It just so happens that I have something to ask you, so let's just treat it as a deal. Let's just fight, if I win you answer a few questions for me, and if you win... never mind, let's not talk about this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chuanhu clearly felt a burning sensation emanating from Qianjie's body, and a few rays of flame leaked out from the gaps near the eyes of the mask.

"Do you think you've won?"

"At least I can't imagine the possibility of losing to you - by the way, where are we going to fight? You pick a place and I'll take you there."

"No need."

Feeling angry at being despised and looked down upon, Qianjie walked to a door across the corridor, took out a key from his trouser pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, opened the door and walked in first.

And after Xia Chuanhu followed him in——

"......canyon?"

The two people who were still in the Dusk Sanatorium in the last second are now at the bottom of an extremely huge canyon!

8. Can you please not change the terrain casually?

Looking at the thousand-meter-high mountains on both sides, Xia Chuanhu sensed it a little, then smiled in surprise.

"Is it the Great Rift Valley of East Africa? My goodness, it brought me here directly from England?"

"How did you do it?"

This is undoubtedly ultra-long-distance space movement.

If it was Xiachuanhu's heyday, he could easily do this kind of thing through fantasy materialization, but now even if he made a fake Herrscher core, it would be impossible for him to do this kind of thing.

And Qianjie actually...

"Is that the key?"

"Go ask the gardener or the blacksmith for details. I don't know. I only know that the door opened with this key can lead to any place in the world." Qianjie put the key away and said, "Look at the bottom of your feet. Isn't there a door there?"

"Indeed." Xia Chuanhu stepped on the soil beneath his feet. Although it was covered by the soil, he could indeed feel that there was a collapsed space underground. "You mean, this place used to be one of the bases of the World Serpent... No, the Fire Moth?"

"I won't remember such boring things. Compared to this..."

Boom————————!

The ground shook suddenly.

Qianjie's body suddenly burned with undisguised scorching red flames! The scorching heat wave rushed towards him like a wave! The rapidly rising temperature suddenly distorted the space of hundreds of meters around him!

next moment--

Qianjie's figure instantly turned into a flash of light, and rushed in front of Xia Chuanhu at a speed far beyond his memory! A fist wrapped in blazing flames blasted out immediately!

"Bang--------!"

A dull roar erupted along with the vibration of the canyon! Raging flames burst out in all directions like sparks from an explosion!

Amidst this loud noise, the ground beneath Qianjie's feet was directly broken into pieces! The ground seemed to have been shattered like glass after bearing too much force. The cracks that spread out covered the ground within hundreds of meters in an instant!

Flames flowed through the cracks.

Steaming fresh magma overflowed from underground.

"Oh?"

However, Qianjie's expression hidden under the mask did not slacken in the slightest. Even with the sound coming from the flames, he instantly retreated dozens of steps, like a warrior facing an unprecedented powerful enemy.

Then, the flames burning on the ground seemed to be attracted by something, and instantly turned into hundreds of flame streams, all converging to a certain point, forming a huge vortex of flames, until finally -

"This attack is much more powerful than yours two years ago."

Holding up the fireball that he had compressed to a diameter of about 20 meters, Xia Chuanhu smiled and said, "It seems that I was right to give you that Judgment-level Honkai Beast two years ago. You've recovered quite well after eating it, right? Speaking of which, the same should be true for Sakura, right?"

"But, can you give me some time to prepare before you attack? If we fight, it will easily cause a big noise, so at least let me set up a spell to cover it up? You are attacking us straight away, do you want us to be listed as terrorists wanted by countries all over the world tomorrow? - I'll give it back to you."

Xia Chuanhu further shaped the fireball in his hand into a fifty-meter-long flame gun and threw it at Qianjie!

At the same time, his other empty hand waved rapidly in the air, and his lips kept opening and closing. Almost before the flame gun landed on the ground, a huge magic circle appeared under Xia Chuanhu's feet, emitting a barely perceptible glow.

“BOOM——————!”
