Collapse, I save everything alone

[Mokbotamo] that can "stop" time!

Everything except him came to a standstill.

Because he had just recovered from the suppression of the restraints, he could not mobilize much strength, so this extremely cold world could only last for about five seconds.

"Five seconds... is enough."

He came to Amber who was about to self-destruct, and [Jizo Soul] appeared in his hand.

Inserting the demon sword into the girl's chest, he activated the power of erosion, completely depriving the opponent of her autonomy and forcibly stopping the process of self-destruction.

Then, time began to flow again.

Amber, who was completely controlled by Mingyu, lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Without her control, the restraining barrier completely dissipated.

"Hiss—it still hurts."

Mingyu groaned in pain.

Having endured the brunt of the restraints, he was now in a state of general weakness and severe pain.

However, paying such a price to deal with the Ruler of Constraint can be said to be a huge profit.

Then he glanced at the girl lying on the ground.

It should be said that he was lucky. This Herrscher, who was born out of hatred, only targeted him and had no intention of affecting other people, which made it a lot easier for him to deal with.

If it really is a pure Herrscher with the will to kill and destroy, it would not be so easy to win without fighting using this method, and there would definitely be a lot of sacrifices.

Mingyu put away the [Ksitigarbha Soul] and returned to Theresa's side.

He helped the helpless girl up.

"Mingyu...you..."

"I told you, I'll get it done."

He shrugged and replied nonchalantly.

The girl sat up with difficulty, took a few breaths, and then asked:

"……Are you OK?"

"It would be a lie to say that I'm fine, but it's not a big deal at all."

An injury of this severity would heal after a night's rest.

"What about...Amber?"

Theresa's eyes fell on the girl lying on the ground.

"I let her fall asleep. Well, to use a more professional term, it should be [hibernation]."

Mingyu answered casually:

"For a long time, she was unable to wake up."

Due to the relationship between Theresa and Amber, he did not directly destroy the other party completely.

Despite this, the girl who hated him had no way to interfere or retaliate against her in the following period of time.

Letting her sleep for a long time is a compromise solution.

Afterwards, Tianming's team also quickly arrived at the scene, led by Yulan Dell himself.

Amber's actions were done privately without her knowledge, and she only became aware of it after detecting the Herrscher-level Honkai energy signal.

After returning the sleeping Amber to the other party for safekeeping, Mingyu also took Theresa away from Kolosten and returned to the Far East.

Chapter 256 World Snake

World Serpent Headquarters.

Mingyu appeared in the hall shrouded in a dark and cold environment.

As soon as he appeared, the black snakes that had been hiding in the shadows also emerged, raising their guns and pointing them at him.

——In the eyes of the gray snakes, he is the number one enemy of the world snakes.

The destruction of their cooperation with Cocolia and the killing of the jackal made them hate it deeply.

Mingyu didn't pay attention to the movements of the black snakes around him, but just focused his eyes on the steps.

On the stone seat above the steps, the man was sitting steadily on his throne.

"……You came."

he whispered.

He was not too surprised at Mingyu's appearance.

After knowing the current situation of the world, he is also looking forward to more changes.

"My Lord, he is——"

A gray snake stepped forward and wanted to report to Kevin.

"He is my guest. It was he who rescued me from the Quantum Sea."

Kevin's light words shut up everything the gray snakes wanted to say.

He then ordered:

"You guys step back, I have something to say to him."

The gray snakes obeyed Kevin's orders absolutely. They retreated back into the shadows, leaving only two people in the space.

Mingyu said straight to the point:

"I want to go to the Paradise of the Afterlife."

"……reason?"

Kevin asked briefly.

[Paradise of the Past] is the important place of the World Serpent and it is also a very important place to him.

Only the cadres of the World Serpent are qualified to go there for training. Even if he did promise Mingyu that he could help him, he could not agree to let him go there at will.

After all, it's actually a pretty dangerous place.

"because……"

Mingyu took out the [Ksitigarbha Soul] with a smile.

After a flash of dark red light, Ling appeared beside him.

"...!"

When he saw Ling's appearance, his eyes, which had always been calm, showed a rare wave of emotion.

After a moment of silence, Kevin said:

"...I see. Did you tame it?"

"It can be considered a coincidence."

Mingyu touched the hair of the girl beside him lovingly.

"Anyway, that's it. I want to take Ling to the paradise to meet her sister, and at the same time deal with the next Herrscher who is very likely to appear - you should have collected some information about her. I'm not going to tell you what's going on!"

Kevin is a pioneer after all, so he naturally knows that the next Herrscher is the Herrscher of Corrosion.

"You did it."

He continued in a calm tone.

"Ah."

Mingyu nodded.

"...Then go ahead. I will grant you the qualification."

Kevin whispered:

"I will have an officer take you there. You just wait outside the door. She will be here soon."

After getting Kevin's permission, Mingyu took Ling's hand and prepared to leave the empty hall.

Before leaving, he turned around and said with a smile:

"Kevin, I will stop your [Stigmata Plan]. No... I should say, I will make you give up the [Stigmata Plan]."

“…I’ll wait and see.”

The man responded calmly.

Afterwards, Mingyu took Ling and left.

What he said to Kevin was indeed correct. They went to the [Paradise of the Past] for two reasons: first, to reunite Ling and Ying, and second, to get rid of the Herrscher of Corrosion of this generation.

But in fact, there is a third purpose.

For him, for this era, the most important thing.

This is also the place he must go if he wants to achieve a future without collapse.

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

A moment later, on the road leading to the [Paradise of the Afterlife].

"I didn't expect you to be the one to take us to the Paradise of the Afterlife."

Mingyu looked at him and Ling's guide, [Yutu], with some surprise.

She smiled gently and responded:

"Because I have nothing to do."

——She has no missions most of the time, and usually can only stay in the World Serpent base and can do nothing.

When she heard that Mingyu had come to the World Snake, she volunteered to take on the role of guide.

While leading the way, Yutu said softly:

"I heard from Gray Snake that Bronya became the Herrscher of Reason."

"Well, for her...it's a good thing."

Mingyu responded with a smile.

I completely got rid of my illness and regained my life.

"So good."

Yutu paused slightly and turned to look at Ling beside him.

She read about Ling and the Herrscher of Corrosion.

Hatagi sighed and said:

"…He's also a poor child."

"I'm happy now."

Ling held Mingyu's hand and shook her head gently.

“It’s good to be able to move on from the past.”

Yutu smiled and continued to lead the way.

After passing a winding road, they glimpsed a golden courtyard.

"We're here. Over there is the Paradise of the Afterlife."

Yutu pointed forward.

The reason why it is called "large" is that this [Paradise of the Past] is based on the transformation of a manor called Golden Courtyard, and its area is quite exaggerated.

If it weren't so big, it might not be able to bear the weight of the Thirteen Heroes' memories.

After saying goodbye to Hatagi, he and Ling came to the entrance of [Paradise of the Past].

The girl was obviously a little nervous and unconsciously gripped her hand with some force.
