Collapse, I save everything alone

Mingyu shrugged.

He then continued:

"Kevin, it's time to fulfill the contract. I will help you return to the original world."

As his mind moved, a huge phantom of the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle appeared behind him.

With its power, he opened a portal back to the Eigenworld for Kevin.

As long as he passes through this door, the man in front of him will end the silence of the quantum sea for 1,500 years and return to the intrinsic world.

"...Thank you."

Kevin is usually taciturn nowadays, but he still expressed his gratitude to Mingyu:

"If you need anything later, come find me at the World Serpent's base."

Without saying much, he stepped straight into the portal opened by Mingyu and disappeared here.

"You left so quickly..."

Xilin said softly as she looked at Kevin who had disappeared without a trace.

“…That’s just his personality.”

Mingyu smiled, and after Kevin left, he closed the portal and withdrew the Thousand Worlds.

Kevin's return will also represent the official emergence of the World Serpent. This dangerous organization will completely reveal its terrifying fangs in the face of Destiny and Anti-Entropy.

Well... Miss Yulandale, who is forced to serve as acting bishop, will probably be very busy at that time.

Of course, Mingyu, who accepted Su's inheritance, also held the same attitude as the sage, and would eventually stop Kevin, stop the World Serpent, and stop that... Stigma Plan.

But Kevin is different from Otto after all.

He is a very pure person who has been genuinely fighting against Honkai and is willing to sacrifice everything for it. In this sense, he is his own comrade-in-arms.

And it is actually very simple to stop him from carrying out the Stigmata Plan.

——As long as we can come up with a more feasible way to transcend the end than the Stigmata Plan, that would be enough.

In this way, he would willingly give up the Stigmata Plan.

And this...

Mingyu already had some ideas in his mind.

He shook his head slightly and decided not to think about it for the time being.

"Let's go."

He didn't know the coordinates of Xilin's world, so she had to open the passage herself.

"……Um."

The girl nodded slightly, stretched out her hand, and activated the power of the Herrscher of the Void.

The quantum sea surrounds the tree of imaginary numbers. Theoretically, it is possible to reach any world on the tree from this sea.

However, according to Su's observation records, the coordinate differences between the worlds on each tree are quite far, and generally speaking, it is difficult to reach each other's world.

The reason why Xilin came to the vicinity of his world was probably because she fell into a coma after falling into the quantum sea and had been drifting around.

Considering the time she spent unconscious in Su's world bubble, she had actually been away from her own world for quite a long time.

The power of the Herrscher of the Void exploded, and the girl took some effort to open the way to the original world.

Mingyu and Xilin stepped in and entered the passage leading to another world.

Compared to how quickly Kevin returned to his original world, this journey seemed a little long.

The girl next to her seemed a little nervous and kept holding her hand tightly.

Perhaps she was filled with anticipation or fear, but when they arrived at that world after a long journey, what they saw was completely different from what Xilin had imagined.

A ruin, a ruin of human civilization.

The ruined city stood lonely and desolate in the vast wilderness like an abandoned island. Only ruins remained of the tall buildings, as if they had collapsed with a slight push from the giant hand of time, leaving behind a chaotic scene.

The gray concrete and black steel skeletons are like huge tombstones, burying the past prosperity and human pride.

What met their eyes was only the desolate land and...devastation.

Chapter 225: Sudden Doomsday

In a town ravaged by war, a little girl was staggering in a corner, fleeing.

Not long ago, this was a prosperous and bustling city, but now it has turned into a living hell.

There were corpses lying everywhere.

The girl didn't care about all this. She didn't know why her brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts were lying on the ground. She just listened to her parents' teachings and tried her best to avoid those white monsters.

Mom said that they are monsters that eat people and we must avoid them.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The girl finally turned a corner and was bumped into by a white monster.

——She didn’t know what kind of animals they were, but they just appeared in the city and turned her familiar home into what it is now.

The huge white monster approached her, turned around, and opened its bloody mouth towards the powerless little girl.

The girl was so frightened that she stood there, unable to move an inch. She could only watch the monster approach her.

In another second or two, the poor little girl would be devoured by it and turned into a lifeless corpse.

Just at this moment, Mingyu descended from the sky with a sharp blade and stabbed it into the head of the Honkai beast.

The enormous force not only took its life but also forcibly changed its trajectory of movement, pinning it down just inches away from the girl.

A loud bang and thick smoke echoed in the air at the same time.

After the smoke cleared, Mingyu pulled the sword from the head of the Honkai beast, jumped down lightly, and came to the girl's side.

Coming to the girl's side, looking at her frightened face, he asked in the softest tone possible:

"Did it scare you?"

The girl didn't respond.

It looked like he was frightened.

He bent his knees slightly, so that his eyes were level with the girl's, and asked gently:

"Where are your father and mother?"

"No, I don't know..."

The girl replied timidly.

Before they parted, they just told themselves not to look back and to keep running forward...

"Well, that's right."

Maybe... he's gone.

Mingyu understood, he put away the blade, reached out and touched her head.

He was not unfamiliar with the experience of escaping from a city ravaged by Honkai beasts; rather, it was too familiar to him.

It is not easy to hide alone until this time.

His eyes fell on the girl's legs.

The originally white shoes had turned grey, and there were bloodstains on the calves, probably from being accidentally scratched while running away.

He stretched out his left hand and placed it on her wound. At the same time, a faint white light appeared.

Behind Mingyu, one can vaguely see the illusory shadow of a white spear.

"So... warm..."

The girl murmured.

The warm feeling reminded her of her father and mother's arms.

Also, my legs don’t hurt anymore.

"Thank you... Big Brother..."

Her voice was a little weak.

Although her leg injury was healed, the long run had left the girl exhausted.

"Take some rest, I'll get you to a safe place."

Mingyu touched her head again.

"……Um."

A red feather floated before her eyes, and then the girl fell asleep.

The vines extending from behind Mingyu lifted her up and prevented her from falling to the ground.

"It really is a doomsday scene..."

He sighed and stood up.

Like hell.

After coming to this world with Xilin, they saw this scene of hell on earth.

In short, they chose to look for survivors in the nearby ruined city.

With the help of his observation ability, they did succeed in rescuing some of them.

While he was rescuing the little girl, Sirin was also rapidly creating and launching Sub-Sky Spears at high altitudes, clearing out the Honkai beasts in the surrounding area.

All that could be heard was the sound of spears breaking through the air and the wailing of the Honkai beasts, and the surroundings soon became quiet.

After doing all this, Xilin fell down quickly and landed next to Mingyu.

"Put her in there too."

Mingyu said.

"Ah."

Xilin nodded, opened a sub-space door, and took the girl supported by the vines in.

Along the way, she collected the survivors into the [Infinite Corridor] like this.

This was originally a small space barrier she used to trap enemies, but at the moment, it was just right to be used as a shelter for the survivors.

Once we get to a safe place, we can release them all and protect them.

Mingyu closed his eyes slightly as if thinking, then opened his eyes and said:

"There are no survivors in this city. She is the last one."

“…What on earth happened here?”

Xilin looked around and said with some concern.

The scene here was completely different from what she had imagined. It was like hell on earth.

Was it the subsequent invasion of the Herrscher that caused the disaster...?

Cecilia, is she okay?

What has the world become now?

"..."

Mingyu certainly knew the answer, after all, he could peek into the future.

However, this answer was a bit too profound for Xilin.

From the time she chose to escape into the Quantum Sea to the time she met Su and Xier, the time that passed in between might have been longer than she had imagined.

Therefore, the progress of this world is even much faster than that of his world.

This world is almost reaching its final moment.

Ming Yu did not answer the question directly, but returned to the girl and whispered:
