Collapse, I save everything alone

"I'll hold back the Second Herrscher."

"..."

Fu Hua looked at the familiar girl in front of her and tried to call out her name, but she couldn't remember it no matter what.

Or the Herr of Knowledge said:

"It's Lixue! Oh, what a pity for this child."

She remembered things that Fu Hua didn't remember, and naturally she also remembered Cheng Lixue's name and story.

This child... was the first disciple she accepted five hundred years later, the one she took care of and raised on Mount Taixu.

Lixue was very hardworking and admired herself very much. She studied her Taixu sword energy seriously, and after growing up, she went down the mountain, joined Tianming, and became a Valkyrie.

Her talent is remarkable. At a young age, she has become the strongest A-level Valkyrie among the Destiny.

But even so, the battle between Cheng Lixue and the second Herrscher Xilin was one-sided without any suspense.

Although it took some time, the Herrscher of the Void's Sub-Void Spear pierced through her body and ended her life.

"Li Xue..."

Fu Hua murmured as she looked at the lifeless girl.

"Yes, this child is different from the seven little bastards from five hundred years ago. He was very kind to me, the Master. It's a pity that he died in this battle..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge said with some regret, and then she looked angrily at the Bishop of Heaven's Fate who was holding her and leaving, and cursed:

"Humph, if that bastard Otto hadn't been meddling, the Second Herrscher would have been destroyed by me long ago! Why would I have to burn my memory to release the [Grand Void Sword God]? Lixue wouldn't have to die at all!"

If Otto had not insisted on entering Sirin's consciousness to meet the Honkai Will and seek the real way to resurrect Kallen, things would have ended there.

In the eyes of the Herrscher of Knowledge, Fu Hua's subsequent decline and the death of her beloved disciple were all blamed on Otto.

In a sense, this is indeed true.

What was even more unacceptable to the Herrscher of Knowledge was that after this collapse, he continued to serve under Otto.

Although one of the reasons was that she had lost her memory and forgot about the incident, it was still difficult for her to accept it.

"Alas, if I had remembered at that time that it was Otto who screwed me and Lixue, I would definitely not have returned to Tianming afterwards! The world is so big, there must be room for me."

The Herrscher of Knowledge continued angrily.

After leaving Destiny, you can go to Anti-Entropy or World Serpent. It's totally fine to be a lone ranger. Fighting against Honkai Impact 3 is not fighting against Honkai Impact 3, right?

As long as she has the ability, she has many choices. Why should she commit herself to Otto and destiny?

In her opinion, Walter Yang, the leader of Anti-Entropy, is much more pleasing to the eye than Otto.

"Even though he helped me five hundred years ago during the Taixu Rebellion, he killed my good disciple this time. After all, we are even! I already knew that this guy is not focused on fighting the Honkai, so there is no need for me to remain loyal to him!"

After saying this, the Herrscher of Knowledge turned and looked at Fu Hua:

"Hey, do you think what I said is right?"

"……I have no idea."

Fu Hua shook her head in confusion.

She hadn't thought about it.

The Herr of Knowledge was rather angry when he saw this, and said:

"Can't you be more independent-minded like me?"

Opinion...

For Fu Hua, this is also an unfamiliar word.

Before she could respond to the Herrscher of Consciousness, the surrounding scenery began to change and she arrived at another scene.

This is the West, specifically, near New York in the United States.

As for the time...it should be roughly fifty years ago.

An ominous light shone in the sky—it was a Houkai fission bomb.

Its power is enough to destroy an entire city. In fact, its destination now is New York, a city with a large population.

Of course, this fission bomb did not land on the land of New York as expected. Before reaching the city, it was blocked by a layer of Honkai energy shield.

And the hero who did all this and protected New York happened to be right next to them.

——He was a blue-haired young man. In order to create a shield that could cover the entire city, he had exhausted all his strength and even his life.

"Ah, I remember now, Walter Joyce... the First Herrscher who was killed by Otto."

The Herrscher of Knowledge stared at him for a long moment, then clapped his hands and shouted.

Then, she asked Fu Hua:

"Do you remember?"

"……No."

Fu Hua shook her head slightly.

"Hey, how come you're like an old antique and don't know anything?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge said with some disdain.

"Forget it. I'll tell you something out of kindness. This guy is the first Herrscher of this generation, but he doesn't hate humans. Instead, he chooses to stand on the side of humans to fight to protect the world. I still remember that I went to America to meet him at that time, and gave him a spray prop to deal with Otto's soul steel body."

——It was thanks to that spray that Joyce and his team were able to make Otto's soul steel body inoperable and take back the body of Leanna that he had possessed.

As he spoke, the Herrscher of Consciousness forced this memory into Fu Hua's head.

After all, relying solely on words to tell the story is too inefficient. Since this old antique can't remember it, let her help her recall it.

"What a pitiful person! He was the First Ruler who chose to stand on the side of humanity, but was killed by Otto. Hey, if he could survive, wouldn't he be able to do better than Otto?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge sighed and said:

"In the final analysis, I was not ruthless enough at that time. I was too nice to Otto. If I had made up my mind to help Joyce completely, I would have been able to save all of them. That bastard Otto would never have gotten what he wanted."

"……indeed."

Fu Hua said silently.

"Humph, those ignorant guys always boast that Otto has protected this world for five hundred years. But was he the one who fought in the battles for five hundred years? Weren't the Valkyries like Leanna sacrificing their lives? That guy was just spending his days leisurely in the base with a glass of red wine in his hand!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge said somewhat indignantly.

——She really hated that hypocritical guy Otto and wanted to punch his steel-like face twice.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that unlucky guy. My good disciple has already killed him anyway."

After a pause, the Herrscher of Knowledge spoke to himself:

"Look, not all Herrschers are bad guys. Whether it's Joyce, Mei, or Kiana, they haven't caused any damage to the world. I still remember that it was Alicia who did something to give them the opportunity to change."

In fact, even Xilin retained her self-awareness and was not driven by anything to destroy humanity.

If it weren't for the inhumane experiment in the Tower of Babylon, she wouldn't have spontaneously started to destroy the world.

"...Yes, this generation of Herrscher has indeed changed."

Fu Hua agreed with empathy.

She glanced at the Herrscher of Knowledge beside her and whispered:

"If one day, Fu Hua becomes a Herrscher, can you accept it?"

"Why can't I accept this? Since these little kids can master the power of the Herrscher, I can do it too."

The Herrscher of Knowledge said carelessly:

"However, if Honkai really chooses me to be the Herrscher, I'd be really stupid. If I get the chance, I'll have to scold Prometheus No. 17."

"...That's good."

The next moment, the surrounding scenery changed again. They left New York and returned to Taixu Mountain.

——This is something that Fu Hua will never forget.

The seven disciples who had been carefully trained joined hands and raised the sword of rebellion against her.

"Hey, let's not talk about these seven little bastards anymore, it's better to just have a stick of Lixue."

The Herrscher of Consciousness looked with disdain at the seven sword-wielding figures, as well as himself lying in a pool of blood.

It was because they killed her once that her [Sword Heart] was damaged. Later, when she was dealing with Xilin, she had to burn her memories to release the [Taixu Sword God], overdrawing herself.

If this wasn't the case, wouldn't the second Herrscher be easy to capture?

"Old antique, don't you hate them?"

"...They have all turned to dust. It doesn't make any sense to hate them or not."

The seven mortal disciples of Taixu had long since disappeared into history.

Now she has already started a new life and no longer needs to dwell too much on the hatred of the past.

"You are very generous. By the way, I remember Qin Suyi's daughter is still alive. What was her name..."

"...Li Suchang, that child has a very good character."

"She is indeed good. If it weren't for her, I might not have been able to win the battle at Sky Peak five hundred years ago... No, no, I am so powerful that I don't need her help at all."

The Herr of Knowledge originally wanted to praise Li Sushang, but she felt that this was not in line with her style, so she changed her words and started praising herself.

Fu Hua ignored her boasting and looked at herself lying in a pool of blood.

She whispered:

"【Divine Sound】...Those who possess the devil will be killed..."

The [Divine Sound] system, developed based on Aponia's [Discipline], can develop the potential of the human body and enhance the adaptability of Honkai energy, but it also has serious side effects.

If it was a soldier with a short life, he might have died on the battlefield before he could experience the effects of the side effects. But for Fu Hua, she has already experienced its side effects.

——He is obsessed with destroying Honkai and doesn’t care about anything else.

If she continues to go astray, she might become an executioner who kills anyone she sees.

"I wasn't in a very good condition at that time. Alas, the things developed with the power of that weirdo Aponya really had problems."

The Herrscher of Knowledge shook his head.

Then, the picture continued to move forward.

The Book of Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan, these familiar friends who once accompanied her life returned to her sight.

Ying Jie's memories are held every ten years, Su, Kevin... and Grace who comes back occasionally...

All of these are her precious memories.

From now on, back to the past...

Then, the scene changed and came to the previous civilization.

The twelfth collapse caused by Ling, the tragedy of restraint that sacrificed almost all the fusion warriors, the troublesome Herrscher of Thousands, the Ninth Herrscher who destroyed Mu Continent, the Herrscher of Consciousness hiding in the dark...

And, the Seventh Herrscher whom Fu Hua could never forget.

The fiery red figure appeared before their eyes.

Flames were burning all over her body and her expression was ferocious.

"HIMIKO..."

Fu Hua pronounced the name with difficulty.

She is the captain of the fifth team of the Fire Moth. She was the one who saved me during the Great Collapse, taught me how to fight, and invited me to join the Fire Moth.

HIMIKO is kind and enthusiastic, but such a warrior who is determined to fight against Honkai was tragically eroded by Honkai and became the Herrscher of Fire.

"Ah, Himiko is also a miserable person. If it were in this generation, with her mental strength, she would definitely be able to resist the erosion of Honkai."

The Herrscher of Knowledge said with regret.

Without the changes initiated by Alicia, the Herrscher would not have the option of rebellion and could only faithfully become the executioner who destroys humanity.
