Collapse, I save everything alone

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

"It hurts..."

A moment later, Mingyu, with half of his body burned, lay on the girl's thighs, receiving her healing.

As the price of forcibly driving the Heavenly Fire, his body was already in a state of considerable injury.

"...Who told you to use that sword to send him off for the last time?"

Xilin said somewhat unhappily.

Having said that, she still placed her bare hands on Mingyu's burned area and used the creative power of the Herrscher of Death to heal him.

"Well...it's called a sense of ritual."

Mingyu said lazily.

After all, the Key of Destruction was an old friend that had accompanied Kevin in battle for many years, so it was just right to use it to send him off.

“…Is this the end?”

Xilin raised her head and looked up at the blue planet.

With Kevin's death, the power of the end flowed into her body, and the [Stigmata Project] on Earth was also stopped.

"After all, it is a path to victory found in the future of countless failed battles."

Mingyu said with a smile.

Although it looks easy, this battle process is the result of countless experiments.

“…I don’t have any real feelings.”

Xilin whispered.

"In short, as long as you continue to maintain the power of the End, the Herrscher of the End will not wake up."

Mingyu looked towards a certain direction on the moon.

There, there is a huge crater, where the body of [Hersher of the End] is sleeping.

"But, in this case, isn't it just like changing someone else to bear this power?"

Celine asked.

"No, there is a fundamental difference between you and Kevin... You are the Herrscher chosen by Honkai, and he is not."

Mingyu shook his head slightly.

In other words, in terms of identity, Xilin is qualified to be the "End".

"As long as you are familiar with and master this power, it will completely become yours. Of course, this will take a long time."

The application and learning of the power of the end requires time to develop.

"Anyway, you probably won't be able to leave here for the time being."

Mingyu groaned.

The concentration of Honkai energy in Sirin's body is extremely high now. Even an ordinary Valkyrie may not be able to withstand this level of Honkai energy.

In this state, there is no way to return to Earth.

"I got it……"

The girl curled her lips.

While they were chatting, she had already cured Mingyu.

However, the other person didn't seem to want to sit up and was still lying on her thighs.

She lowered her head slightly, and her pair of golden eyes looked straight at Mingyu from top to bottom.

"How does it feel to come back to visit your family this time?"

Mingyu said jokingly.

Xilin sighed and replied:

"I had originally thought of many scenes of reuniting with Cecilia, but after coming here, I realized that the focus was not on this at all..."

Because the situation was too urgent, she didn't even have time to say a few more words to Cecilia.

I had originally planned to chat with her more after this was over, but given the current situation, I'm afraid I can't count on it.

Thinking of this, her pretty little face suddenly fell.

"Let me guess, Xilin, are you thinking about staying alone on the moon forever?"

Mingyu said with a chuckle.

"Well, I can't go back..."

Xilin said a little disappointed.

When I was living in Sakura and Rin's stigmata space before, at least there was someone to play with me.

On this moon where there is nothing, you can only live alone.

"Hmm? No one said you were going to stay alone on the moon forever, right?"

Mingyu blinked and said with a smile.

"……Eh?"

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

A few days later.

Destiny, Far East Branch, St. Freya Academy.

"Thank you very much this time, Xilin and Mingyu."

Cecilia thanked them both sincerely.

During the few days since returning to Earth, they also cooperated with the Destiny and Anti-Entropy here to clear out most of the Honkai beasts.

The remaining post-disaster reconstruction work and other matters will naturally be handed over to Tianming and Nienentropy here.

And Cecilia, after fighting for several days in a row, is now taking a break.

"This is what we should do, Ms. Cecilia."

Mingyu responded politely.

Next to him, the purple-haired girl sat nervously.

This is Xilin, but it is not Xilin.

To be precise, it was a substitute that she created one-to-one using her power.

At this moment, her body is still on the moon.

But the power of the Herrscher is a very useful thing. As long as a body is created with the power of the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Death, and then the consciousness of the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Herrscher of Domination is used to control the body remotely, even if Sirin's real body is far away on the moon, she can still use this substitute to live normally on the earth with other people without interfering with or affecting them.

——In the original timeline, a certain bug could only lock himself in an empty room on the moon and look at the earth from afar. He always thought this was a very unreasonable thing.

Since the power of the end has integrated the power of all the previous Herrschers, it is quite simple and feasible for Sirin to create a body for living.

"Without you guys...I really don't know how I'm going to get through this crisis."

Cecilia said with some sigh.

Destiny and Anti-Entropy naturally paid close attention to the battle taking place on the moon. The roar that resounded through the sky could be observed even from a great distance.

The magnitude of the battle that broke out was something that even S-rank Valkyries like them could not get involved in.

"The problem with the [Stigmata Project] has been solved, and we can take our time with the rest."

Mingyu said softly.

So much for the state of the world.

Cecilia looked at Xilin and Mingyu and asked with a smile:

"By the way, I'm a little curious, you and Xilin..."

——What is the relationship between them?

Since Mingyu is willing to come from other worlds to help Xilin save her world, the relationship between them must be very close.

Hmm... maybe it's the kind of relationship I imagined?

She has always treated Xilin as her daughter, so when she looked at Mingyu, she also looked at her son-in-law with a little more eyes.

Mingyu answered frankly:

"I really like Xilin, but I don't know what she thinks~"

"...!"

The purple-haired girl blushed when she heard that. Although she did like Mingyu, she was somewhat... hesitant to express her feelings in front of Cecilia.

Cecilia saw what Xilin was thinking, smiled and said:

"After that, just tell me the story of the past slowly, okay, Xilin."

"Um……"

Cecilia knew that she had hurt Xilin in the past, so she planned to use the coming years to make it up to this "daughter".

"By the way, Kiana should be back soon. More than a decade has passed. She is about your age now. You two will definitely become good friends."

——She was just a little kid who could only crawl in front of Xilin back then, but now she has grown into a beautiful young lady.

……

The pleasant conversation continued, and after a while, Mingyu left the academy and came to the open space outside the college.

Kevin's [Stigmata Project] has been thwarted, and this episode has come to an end.

Next, he should return to his own world and do what he should do.

“…Are you going back?”

Xilin's figure appeared beside him.

Because her main body had to stay on the moon, she couldn't continue to follow Mingyu back and could only stay in this world temporarily.

"Can't bear to leave me?"

Mingyu asked with a smile.

“… a little bit.”

Xilin said honestly this time:

"Also, don't you need my help over there?"

After all, she had stayed there for a while. Since she already possessed the power of the end, she was quite happy to lend a helping hand.

"Don't worry, I have my own ideas and plans. If I can't figure it out, I will come to you for help."

Mingyu nodded slightly:

"You can take this opportunity to get more familiar with the power."

"Yeah, that's right..."

A purple light shone from the girl's hands, and then a miniature version of Silin's doll appeared in her hands.

She handed the doll to Mingyu:

"This little doll is for you...!"

This is a doll with communication function, and you can use it to contact us if necessary.

Seeing her was like seeing Celine.

Mingyu accepted the gift with a smile:

"Yeah, I'll accept it."

Then, Xilin took two steps back, crossed her hands behind her, and watched his figure disappear into the Sub-Sky Gate.
