Collapse, I save everything alone

If it weren't for Su's help, he would have really been in trouble.

Speaking of that wise man...

Su...the pioneer who possessed the wisdom of a sage, placed the bet of the future on himself.

Although he is compassionate, he is not an emotional person. He shoulders the responsibility of saving the world. It is impossible for him to choose Otto simply because he doesn't like his style that much.

In other words, did he really observe his own future... and actually see an ending that defeated the end?

After comparing the two endings, did you choose his side over Otto?

This is the idea that is more in line with Su's thinking.

Mingyu shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Even if there really is such a future, you have to rely on your own strength to create it.

Since Su has entrusted the future of the [Hengsha Project] to himself, he will not let him down.

Next…

Let's start planning ahead and prepare to deal with the Archbishop of Destiny.

Chapter 214: Promise to Ling

According to the intelligence collected last time, Otto would summon him before the banquet started at night and attack him.

Just as Su said, the strategy of keeping a low profile could no longer be maintained. Since Otto was planning to take action against him, he had to fight back.

Because of Otto's heavy mental attack, he is temporarily unable to continue exploring the future beyond that.

The mental shield is one-time and will no longer exist after the backtracking. It can only be maintained as it is before the banquet begins. After using the protection left by Su to resist Otto's Yu Duchen, continue to use the ability of backtracking to find a way to defeat the bishop and find the right time to act.

However, it's not like he can't do anything now.

There were still two hours left before he arrived at the Tianming headquarters, and it was clear what he needed to do now—

Go and persuade Feiyuwan to help you.

Now that he has decided to fight Otto to the death, the power of the Twelfth Divine Key is necessary.

Without the divine key of [Jisang Soul], he would not be able to threaten Otto's life and could only be controlled by him unilaterally.

With this thought in mind, Mingyu came to the spiritual space where Feiyuwan was silent for the first time in a long time.

..............................

In the dark spiritual world.

A huge demon fox was lying dormant here, as if in deep sleep, motionless.

It has been stuck here for nearly a year.

Most of the time, it's pretty quiet here.

However, occasionally, we would welcome guests like we do now.

Sometimes it's some innocent little fox, sometimes... it's this guy.

Feiyuwan's ears moved, his head slightly raised, he opened his blood-red eyes, and looked at someone who appeared here.

The boy possessed by it would communicate with him from time to time, but to say that he had visited here in person...it seemed to be the first time.

"I need your help, Feiyuwan."

Before Feiyuwan could say anything, Mingyu went straight to the point.

"...?"

"To be honest, I'm facing a big crisis. Well, the kind that I can't get through without your help."

"What's the deal?"

"I need the power of the Twelfth God's Key."

Due to the obstruction of the black box that seals the Scarlet Prison Maru, it is now unable to fully exert all the abilities of the Herrscher of Corrosion.

Only after completely merging with the black box and becoming the [Ksitigarbha Soul] can all the power be released.

"No help."

Feiyuwan refused coldly.

Their relationship had eased somewhat, and it could treat this human a little better than it treated other humans.

It can help with small daily chores, that’s fine, but since this is something closely related to its own future, there is no way it will agree.

Once it becomes the Key of God, it no longer has complete autonomy and can only be used by anyone.

Its hatred for humans has not completely dissipated, so it cannot become a weapon for humans.

This was a natural answer, Ming Yu was not surprised, he smiled and said:

"Then I might die?"

"If you die, I will come out and continue to destroy human civilization."

Although it is more worthy of attention than other humans, but...

"If that happens, Hiyomaru will be very sad."

The simple girl regarded him as her own, and if he died, she would be heartbroken.

"...Don't try to convince me with the Higyokumaru."

The big fox hesitated for two seconds, but continued to refuse.

In fact, it cared about everything about the little fox, otherwise, it would not have given her the power of erosion.

After all, that was the former [Lin] who had not yet been eroded by the Honkai.

Mingyu could see that Feiyuwan was actually a little shaken.

However, it still lacked a decisive reason to convince itself to help him.

Indeed, it is not enough to rely solely on Feiyumaru to play the emotional card.

and so--

"So, Feiyukumaru, no, Ling... do you still want to see your sister again?"

Mingyu threw out his chips.

"...!"

Sure enough, upon hearing his sister's name, Feiyukumaru's emotions instantly became unstable.

The flames of the demon fox exploded from its back, burning fiercely, as if to turn this silent spiritual space into a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing the big fox's reaction, Mingyu knew there was hope.

Having been deeply hurt by humans, it no longer trusts anyone.

But, there is only one exception.

That is his elder sister, Sakura.

During the more than ten years of wandering in the turbulent times, the sisters have always depended on each other, supported each other, and regarded each other as very important.

After a long while, Feiyuwan finally regained his composure.

It denied:

"No, it's impossible... My sister died fifty thousand years ago."

It still remembers what happened at that time.

After being killed by those fanatical soldiers, it decided to take revenge on humans and launched a nuclear bomb to destroy the last three cities of mankind. But when it wanted to continue to destroy the last base of the Fire Moth, Sakura rushed back.

Sakura drew her sword and attacked the Honkai beasts and the dead soldiers that were controlled by the erosion, and eventually became exhausted and died in the base of the Fire Moth.

It was also because of Sakura's death that its attack on the Fire Moth base was slightly paused and it fell into chaos, which gave MEI an opportunity to take advantage of and use the black box to seal itself up.

Therefore, his sister was indeed dead, she died during the twelfth collapse, this was an undeniable fact.

"The real Sakura has indeed died, but her memory is still alive in this world at this moment."

Mingyu continued.

"...Memory?"

Feiyuwan was somewhat unfamiliar with this term.

"Fifty thousand years ago, the Fire Moth carried out a plan to store the memories of thirteen heroes in a large device called Paradise of the Past. Your sister... Ying's memory still lives there."

Mingyu said slowly.

“…I had no idea there was such a place.”

Its memory has become confused. Apart from the time when it was killed, it can no longer remember anything else that happened fifty thousand years ago.

"The time from your transformation into a Herrscher to your being sealed away was too short, so it's natural that you didn't investigate this aspect, but... such a place does exist, in the base of the World Serpent."

After a pause, Mingyu continued:

"When I get through this difficult time, I will take you to the Paradise of the Afterlife in the future and reunite you with your sister. At that time, if you want to stay there forever and live with your sister, I will not stop you. How about that?"

"..."

Feiyuwan's eyes were somewhat evasive.

Mingyu's words gave it hope.

Of course it hopes to reunite with its sister, but...

Now it has become the thing that my sister hates the most, and is no different from the Honkai beasts that destroyed their hometown.

Seeing the big fox in front of him still hesitant, Ming Yu smiled slightly and continued to add:

"I also know one thing. When the Herrscher of Corrosion of this generation arrives, the [Paradise of the Past] is likely to be destroyed by it... I want to prevent that from happening. Therefore, I need your help even more, Ling."

In the original timeline, the disaster of the Herrscher of Corrosion was overcome with the sacrifices of the heroes of Paradise and the help of Mei. If they could get help from Feiyukumaru, the Herrscher of Corrosion from the previous civilization, perhaps they could find another better ending.

"...!"

As a fellow Herrscher, Feiyumaru naturally knew that the Herrscher of Corrosion was invincible in the fields of data and electronics.

If such a being were allowed to descend upon the [Paradise of the Past], it would indeed be very likely that the place would be completely destroyed.

"You...may be lying..."

It said hesitantly.

But if this is true, my sister will disappear from this world once again.

This is not the future it wants.

"I won't lie to you. Just as I have always taken care of Hiyumaru with all my heart, I want to protect you... protect you all."

Mingyu stretched out his hand towards the big fox in front of him:

"So, help me, Ling."

Chapter 215 Preparations before the Show Begins

"call……"

A moment later, Mingyu walked out of the door and came to Hyperion's corridor.

He has reached a contract with Feiyumaru and obtained the help of this twelfth Herrscher from the previous civilization.

Of course, if you want to synthesize [Jizo Soul], you must also fuse the Feiyumaru and Feiyumaru.

Now that Feiyuwan has been dealt with, the other little fox should be easy to deal with.

Because the birth of the Key of God would cause quite a stir and would inevitably attract the attention of others, Mingyu did not plan to create the [Ksitigarbha Soul] immediately.

Wait until you are ready to take action... then do this.

Walking down the corridor, he happened to pass an open room.

When I walked to the main door and looked inside, I could just see Bronya and Seele in the room.

Each of them was holding a PSX and seemed to be playing an online game.
