Collapse, I save everything alone

——Although it looks inconspicuous from the outside, this is a very famous historical landmark, [Lexington].

Not far from him, Mingyu saw several familiar figures.

Red-haired Dr. Tesla, blue-haired Dr. Einstein, a projection of a nearly transparent artificial intelligence at work, and...

Mingyu looked at the last person, who happened to be looking over here as well.

The First Herrscher, Walter Joyce.

This result was not too surprising to him.

After all, when it comes to the Star of Eden, the one closely connected to it is not the Ninth Herrscher who possesses the same power, but the First Herrscher.

——The three Herrschers all used this Key of God as an important weapon and power.

The young man with dark blue hair waved his hand and shouted to him:

"Mingyu, why are you daydreaming? The artificial intelligence will soon finish the analysis."

"..."

Unlike the historical video materials that were just played for Kiana, which could only be viewed from a distance but not touched, this data space was obviously quite special.

Moreover, it seems that in this data scenario, he was set as a companion of this group of anti-entropy elders.

Joyce was already calling him to go over to where Dr. Einstein and the others were. Mingyu thought for a moment, then took a step forward and walked towards them.

Chapter 36: Artificial Collapse of New York

Mingyu came to Joyce and looked at the artificial intelligence projection that was concentrating on its work.

If I remember correctly, this scene should be the scene where the Anti-Entropy Elders first obtained the Ninth God Key, the Star of Eden.

Sure enough, as the artificial intelligence unlocked the system in an orderly manner, something gradually appeared in the sky and fell from the sky.

"42.45 degrees north latitude, 71.23 degrees west longitude - the target has been determined to have entered the target area, and the search mode is being activated.

"The account login was successful and the password is the same as before.

“Requested target source to land and use decoherence to remove hyperdimensional camouflage.

“Hyperdimensional camouflage removed, soft landing successful.

"The target should be right in front of you, please check it out."

As the artificial intelligence finished speaking, a yellow-white ball of light that could not be ignored appeared out of thin air and slowly landed in front of everyone.

Dr. Tesla looked at this strange thing and asked the artificial intelligence:

"what is this?"

"The 1625 floating storage room has a super-dimensional camouflage function and can stably float above the target location and remain undetected for a long time."

Compared to the surprised Dr. Tesla, Dr. Einstein seemed calmer. She ordered the artificial intelligence:

"Open it."

"Understood, Dr. Einstein."

Under the control of artificial intelligence, the yellow-white ball of light slowly unfolded its shell at a speed similar to falling leaves.

The giant thing, about one person's height, opened up like a blooming lotus, revealing a transparent storage cabinet hidden inside.

Inside the transparent locker, a blue sphere with a diameter of about ten centimeters was quietly suspended.

The main color is dark blue, with symmetrical concave patterns on the left and right, and the light blue patterns constantly emit a mysterious and soft light.

"The target object identification code is [God's Key No. 9 Star of Eden]."

The artificial intelligence steadily reports its findings.

Key of God?

Although they have been working under the banner of Heaven's Mandate for quite some time, they have never really come into contact with the mysterious weapon called the Key of God, and have only occasionally seen relevant information in the archives. It can be said that this is a term that only exists in legends.

It is said that only S-class Valkyries are equipped with this powerful pre-civilization weapon—

Everyone was about to step forward to take a closer look at the weapon called the Star of Eden.

However, at this moment, a strong pulse came from afar, and the strong shock wave instantly knocked down everyone except Mingyu.

This impact contained electromagnetic pulses and collapse pulses of considerable power.

Only Mingyu, whose physical fitness is beyond ordinary people, can withstand this level of impact. When he turned around, he saw Joyce and the two doctors lying on the ground, temporarily unconscious.

And through the various information that had just been filled into his brain, Mingyu knew very well what the explosion coming from afar was causing.

It turns out that while Joyce and his team were searching for the whereabouts of the Star of Eden, Edison and Schrödinger from the North American branch were also conducting a related great experiment.

——Based on the knowledge left over from previous civilizations and their ingenuity, a groundbreaking piece of equipment is about to be developed, an energy conversion device that can convert Honkai energy into ordinary energy - [Moonlight Throne].

If this invention could be fully completed during this period, the subsequent Honkai disasters would no longer be so frightening, and there would not be so many tragedies.

However, Otto secretly tampered with the data of the experiment, which not only led to the failure of the research and development of the Moonlight Throne, the goal of the experiment itself, but also caused a huge explosion in the research laboratory of the North American branch, resulting in the spillover of a huge amount of Honkai energy.

——As a result, this is the outbreak of [Artificial Destruction].

When it comes to creating artificial Honkai, both Cocolia and Jackal are much later than Otto.

The reason why the man did this was quite simple - he had been paying close attention to the actions of the North American branch, and he did not intend to let them gradually embark on a path of defying destiny.

Therefore, he planned to wipe out all those involved in this incident and strangle it in the cradle.

Neither the group of scientists nor Joyce, the suspected herrscher, intends to let them go.

To this end, it would not hesitate to cause a major collapse in the populous city of New York that would have far-reaching consequences.

While Mingyu was thinking, he moved the unconscious people to the car and waited for them to wake up.

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

A moment later, on top of the car.

Joyce woke up from a nightmare and sat up unsteadily.

At this moment, he didn't know what was going on, but from the solemn expressions of Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein, he could tell that something quite bad seemed to have happened.

He asked tentatively:

"Are we knocked out by the energy released by the Key of God?"

Einstein said calmly:

"It's not... Mingyu, please explain it to Joyce."

Her eyes were fixed on the Star of Eden in front of her. She was now concentrating on studying this Key of God in order to mobilize its power.

Mingyu thought about it and said briefly:

"Well... to make a long story short, judging from the location coordinates, a large explosion occurred in Schrödinger and Edison's experimental workshop, accompanied by the leakage of Honkai energy. In the worst case, the same disaster as that in Berlin three years ago may occur in New York."

If he were an ordinary person, he would have probably driven away from New York by now to avoid the disaster that had already broken out, just like in many doomsday-themed movies and TV dramas.

However, they were now driving in the exact opposite direction, heading towards downtown New York at full speed.

Everyone's opinion was surprisingly unanimous - they had to find a way to prevent this disaster.

This was not arrogant confidence. After all, they had just obtained the Ninth God's Key. With its power... perhaps they could do something.

Mingyu also followed them, riding in the car, moving forward at a rapid speed.

His eyes fell on the window, where snowflakes were flying and the scenery was changing.

For "characters" like Joyce, they don't worry about issues outside the story, they just think about how to solve the crisis.

But as an outsider, Mingyu had to consider one thing, which was why Otto wanted to reproduce the story on the eve of the establishment of Anti-Entropy to him.

The history of Walter Joyce was deliberately replayed in front of him, instead of replaying the history of Kallen's execution as in the original timeline...

Do you want to test yourself...?

He already had some guesses about this in his mind.

If one does not want to attract Otto's attention, the best option is probably to wait and see, and let everything in this scene flow as it did in history, like a bystander:

Edison used a device to restrain the Honkai energy and pushed it into the sea to avoid affecting the city. He blamed himself for the disaster in New York due to his research until it was reduced to ashes.

Schrödinger lost his body, became quantized and drifted into the quantum ocean, where he began to wander.

The strongest Valkyrie of the time, Leanna, rushed to the sky without hesitation and destroyed the Honkai fission bomb launched by Otto, causing the Black Abyss White Flower to sink into the Atlantic Ocean.

Walter Joyce held up a barrier to protect the city, but died from overdrawing his strength, ending his one-month life.

The young Joachim Young lost his father and all his friends, abandoned his own identity, and inherited the name of Walter in his young body;

Otto was not able to successfully wipe out the person he wanted to wipe out, and even had the opposite effect -

The remaining members of the North American branch rebelled against their destiny and formed an organization called Anti-Entropy.

This is the original story, everything that happened in history.

Mingyu knew very well that this was just a historical image, a past that could not be changed.

He is not a fool like Kiana, and he will not think of making any changes...

"..."

Walking along the road, looking at the city that was gradually being invaded by the collapse, Mingyu sighed and lightning flashed on his body.

As the number of Honkai beasts gradually increased, the road became unsmooth and Dr. Tesla, who was driving, was forced to stop.

Mingyu opened the car door and said to the people around him:

"Don't move around here. I'm going to clean up those Honkai beasts."

Chapter 37: The Strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, Leanna

Blackstone Park nearby.

Two soldiers were driving an armored vehicle, cautiously approaching a monster hovering here.

"Weird, monster..."

When the distance is close enough, even with a soldier's courage and bravery, facing such an inhuman monster is somewhat frightening.

That is a biological structure that is difficult for ordinary people to describe, no... it should be said that it is impossible to understand.

Some tentacles have a series of eyes, some have a series of pincers, and some have a series of indescribable mouthparts.

These tentacles are fixed like barnacles on a rectangular piece of granite - perhaps it is a tombstone. In any case, they form a whole, like a wriggling worm, which is disgusting and terrifying.

The only thing the two soldiers were sure of was that it was the only one in the park.

Even if we fire the shells from the armored vehicle...can we really cause any damage to it?

They had to try to resist anyway.

It’s not because they don’t want to call for support to deal with it together, but the other party has already seen their armored vehicles and is slowly moving towards them.

A soldier trembled as he pressed the red button on the armored vehicle. A shell shot out and hit the monster accurately, causing a violent explosion.

That was a destructive force that could easily blow up a basketball court. The two soldiers stared nervously at the smoke-filled front, praying that the armored vehicle's attack would have the desired effect.

Unfortunately, after the smoke cleared, the monster was completely unharmed, with the exception of the granite it had been sitting on being shattered.

At the same time, as if it was enraged, its tentacles flew rapidly towards the armored vehicle, and those running in front had easily cut through the solid armor on the surface of the armored vehicle.

I'm afraid that within a few seconds, the entire armored vehicle will be easily broken into pieces by this monster, and they who are inside it will naturally not be able to escape.

Just as the two soldiers were praying in their hearts, a ray of lightning shot out from behind the armored vehicle and accurately hit the monster, causing its movements to stop.

Then, they saw a figure flash by like lightning and stood in front of the armored vehicle in an instant.

That's... a human? Is this the speed a human can have?

While the two soldiers were still confused, they found that the distance between them and the human was getting farther and farther.

But he clearly didn't move...

Only then did they realize that the armored vehicle they were riding in was rapidly moving backwards under the influence of some force.
