Collapse, I save everything alone

"All right."

Mingyu withdrew his hand.

He used Yu Duchen's zeroth rated power to leave a feather in Anna's world of consciousness to maintain the suppression of the Ice Ruler's will.

By doing so, Anna will be able to gradually adapt to and use the power of the Ice Ruler without suffering backlash.

"Thanks……"

The chestnut-haired girl whispered.

She raised her head, stared at Mingyu with her beautiful pink and purple eyes, and thanked him sincerely:

"You saved me again."

It was he who inspired me last time in Manila.

"I can't just leave you in danger."

Mingyu said with a faint smile.

After a pause, he continued:

"Okay, let's get back to reality."

"Um……"

The girl nodded and subconsciously wanted to stand up.

But just as she started to move a little, she immediately shrank back into the bathtub, and her pretty face turned pink.

After the crisis was resolved, she noticed that the current situation was a little... ambiguous.

She was in this bathtub, but she was not wearing anything...

Wow, if it's like this, then Mingyu has already seen everything...

Although this wasn't something Anna found offensive, she was still a little shy.

Mingyu smiled and said:

"I'll go out first."

Immediately, his figure faded from Anna's mental world.

After the girl was ready, she returned to reality.

……

"Woo..."

Accompanied by an unconscious murmur, the chestnut-haired girl opened her eyes in Mingyu's arms.

The embrace was very warm, forming a sharp contrast with the extremely cold world around it, making her reluctant to leave.

Her body was still somewhat weak and she indeed could not move.

"Just wake up."

Mingyu looked down at the girl who had opened her eyes and asked with a smile:

"How does it feel to be a Herrscher?"

“…It’s very hard.”

Only now did she fully empathize with the pain and suffering that her good friend Wendy had previously endured.

She only managed to hold on for a few hours before she could no longer hold on, but Wendy had been fighting against the will of the Herrscher for nearly three years...

"Hey, this dress is..."

Anna noticed the Snow Lotus Team uniform on her and was a little surprised.

She clearly remembered that after she became a Herrscher, her original Valkyrie costume had disappeared.

But now, the clothes are still intact on her body.

"I helped you recover."

Mingyu said casually.

The Herrscher of Ice only had one coat. After Anna's body returned to normal, the original strange color had long disappeared. Considering the girl's mood, he used [Projection Magic] to project a set of clothes for Anna.

Although it is only temporary, it is enough to last for a while.

"Thank you. By the way, the people... and everyone in the Snow Lotus Team..."

The girl looked around worriedly.

Although she recovered with Mingyu's help, the people around her... those frozen people, and the team members in the camp...

Everyone was still surrounded by ice and snow, and all of this was caused by her.

The girl naturally felt guilty.

"Don't blame yourself. If you hadn't resisted with all your might, everything in this city would have been reduced to dust long ago."

Mingyu whispered soothingly.

Just like when the Herrscher of Thunder locked himself up in Qianyu Academy, Anna's resistance did indeed suppress the influence of the frost field.

"As long as the ice is removed now, most of the people will be able to survive."

Although it may take some time to heal, at least you can still save your life.

"But how to do it..."

Anna asked subconsciously.

She was not yet familiar with the control of power, and the ice around her erupted naturally the moment she transformed into a Herrscher.

If she wanted to remove them, she couldn't do it now.

"It doesn't matter, leave it to me."

Mingyu smiled and stretched out his free hand, and a big red sword appeared in his hand.

He grasped the greatsword in one hand, infused it with Honkai energy, and dazzling flames burned on the sword.

Projection·Seventh God's Key·Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment.

Unlike before, this time, when he held the flaming blade, he no longer felt the backlash of the burning fire.

——The moment Anna was rescued, the name of an ability had already emerged in Mingyu's mind.

[The devil appears, the essence of the devil].

The same ice imperial weapon owned by a crazy bitch named Esdeath.

This ability gave him the same ability to manipulate ice as the Ice Herrscher, but more importantly, it changed his physique.

The blood flowing in his body was replaced by the essence of the devil. In a sense, at this moment, he was already quite close to Kevin who had merged with the ice pig.

Of course, his body is not normally at sub-zero temperatures, making it impossible for him to hug his lover.

But the similarity is that, relying on this special physique, he finally...

You can use [Heavenly Fire Judgment] without any scruples and no longer need to worry about the side effects.

According to his understanding, this ability seems to also possess the power to freeze time and space called [Mokbotamo], but he will have to wait and spend time to study it later.

For now, let’s remove the ice from the coral island first.

It is a coral island located at the equator, but it has been frozen due to the birth of the Herrscher of Ice. The abnormal climate changes and subsequent consequences that will be caused will be far worse than the frozen coral island itself.

If not dealt with, it will soon turn into a global climate disaster.

Mingyu helped Anna to stand up, then raised the Holy Judgment of Skyfire and pointed it at the sky.

A moment later, a pillar of fire shot up into the sky, but it was not the destructive flame that brought destruction, but the warmth that melted the ice and snow.

Chapter 236: Aftermath and Return

Under Mingyu's precise control, the flames of the Holy Judge of Skyfire accurately neutralized the ice erupted by the Ruler of Ice, and gradually spread outward with the main island where they were located as the center, allowing the entire island to return to normal again.

The strong winds and abnormal weather, which were originally thought to be caused by the extreme cold at the equator, have gradually returned to normal.

After the fire dispelled the cold, the warm sunshine passed through the clouds and fell on the island again.

"That's good."

Mingyu loosened his hand, allowing the projection of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire to disappear.

"Thanks……"

Anna thanked him quietly.

"This is not your fault. Rather, you are the victim."

Mingyu shook his head.

It should be said that no Herrscher was chosen voluntarily.

What is wrong is [collapse].

"By the way, Anna, now I can return this pendant to you."

Mingyu took out the half heart-shaped pendant.

It was originally a pair with the pendant on the girl's chest, and now it was time to combine them again.

"But, I..."

Anna hesitated to speak.

She clearly did not win the battle against the Herrscher and could not do it all on her own.

If Mingyu hadn't appeared and helped her, she would have...

——She still felt a little guilty and self-blaming for this possibility that could not be ignored.

"Facing the consciousness of the Herrscher without fear and fighting bravely, even if you don't win, it is already an act of great courage."

Mingyu whispered soothingly.

This time, she did not want to escape like she did in Manila, but faced it with courage. She has grown a lot.

Moreover, after being chosen to become the Herrscher of Ice, the upper limit of the girl's future has been greatly expanded.

She is no longer at the level of an A-rank Valkyrie who relied on her bloodline talent to reach this level. As a Herrscher, her future is immeasurable.

Of course, all of this takes time to practice.

"……Um."

The girl tilted her head slightly and let Mingyu put the other half of the necklace around her neck.

The two necklaces came together again, outlining a completed blue heart shape on the girl's chest.

This action was quite ambiguous. Anna's cheeks turned slightly red, and she seemed to want to say something.

However, before she could say anything, a green wind blew across the sky, and then the figure of a young girl crossed the sky.

She was no stranger to this trace and figure.

It's Wendy.

……

The dark-haired girl was flying in the sky, feeling somewhat anxious.

When the Honkai disaster broke out on Coral Island, she was not in the Oceania branch, but far away in the Far East.

——Nowadays, she often travels between Tianming and St. Freya Academy, acting as a messenger.

After learning that a Honkai disaster of a level that could very likely lead to the birth of a Herrscher had occurred, she hurried over to deal with it.

Of course, the Undying Blade team on the destiny side must have already set out, but in terms of speed, they are naturally not as fast as her as the Herrscher of Wind.

——For those Herrschers who are willing to fight against the collapse, the current acting bishop, Youlan Dell, has not taken any coercive measures, but just let them act freely.

Rather, it is difficult to take any action.
