People are collapsing, and Mebius is my ex-girlfriend?

【“…”】

[The pink-haired girl looked at you in surprise, her eyes wide open as if she was shocked by what was happening before her eyes, so much so that she completely ignored your behavior]

[“S-Sorry.”]

[You speak instinctively, your face pale]

[Obviously, at this point, apologies are useless.]

[You will definitely be killed by the other party]

[As expected, as the pink-haired girl's confused pupils slowly dilate, an almost oppressive sense of death fills your surroundings]

[You are ready to face the illusory death, and you are so used to it that you don’t even waver, silently waiting for everything to come.]

【“…”】

[However, the pink-haired girl finally exhaled slowly.]

[She seemed to have no idea what to do for a moment, and stood there.]

【'What's wrong……'】

[You pay attention to the other person's expression and find that she seems to be ready to let you go]

Does this mean trust has been gained?

[For some reason, you seem to read the emotion of 'I really can't do anything to you' on the other person's face, but this is obviously just your illusion]

[The pink-haired girl still has no personality, but her rhythm was slightly disrupted by your actions just now.]

[Seeing the other person turn his back, you heaved a sigh of relief and instinctively began to think about what had just happened.]

[The feeling of the high-dimensional realm is an almost indescribable special experience for you, so much so that you now find that your five senses have undergone strange changes, and the whole world in your eyes presents a completely different posture than in the past.]

[If you use one sentence to describe your feelings at this moment, you feel as if you have suddenly transformed into a god, and can clearly see the underlying laws of the world]

[There is no doubt that this is the special improvement brought by the high-dimensional experience. If this is a game, you may even get special buffs such as "high-dimensional vision" from it.]

[But correspondingly, this special vision also causes your senses to begin to lose their sense of reality, and you can no longer understand everything from a human perspective]

[You are a little afraid, and your instinct begins to resist further changes to yourself]

[But you also know that you have no choice now, you must move forward]

[So, you turn your gaze to the big tree in front of you again, and an endless world begins to unfold before you, and wisdom beyond human beings begins to emerge in your mind]

[You feel an indescribable chill for no apparent reason]

[This is not an actual coldness, but a loneliness brought about purely by excessive rationality]

[Because we are close to the truth, we feel fear; because we are high up and far away, we feel loneliness]

[If there are beings called gods in the universe, they will probably live in endless pain and cold forever]

[On the other hand, the fact that weak humans cannot witness the true fragility of life in the world is actually a great salvation]

[Humans only need a simple emotion, a real thing called love, to accept themselves]

[However, you are obviously no longer able to enjoy the simplest real things.]

[The pursuit of higher dimensions and the pursuit of truth causes your self to begin to obviously separate from the body, and the soul is thrown into a higher dimensional world]

[You gradually lose your human senses and begin to witness the world with the cognition of a higher-dimensional creature]

[The myriad worlds on the tree trunk are no longer simple things to you, but have become a concept that is closer to reality]

[You seem to have experienced countless different lives in an instant, and witnessed the struggle of mankind and Honkai in thousands of worlds...]

Chapter 226 The Truth

[After becoming a higher dimension, your cognition begins to collapse at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time begins to be further rebuilt at an extremely fast speed]

[Consciousness and cognition are extended vertically, and everything is divided vertically]

[You understand that the flow of time is intersecting and illogical]

[In the world of dimensions, everything is fragmented, but there is an ultimate order in good order]

[It is a long ladder leading to the top. If you keep climbing, you can reach an unimaginable peak.]

[Higher than the mountains, higher than the sky, even across the universe and space and time]

[Here, you can see everything]

[Wisdom gradually decomposes, and things begin to appear before you in their most essential form]

[You seem to be able to see countless Nobel Prizes waving at you, and you can also see countless laws exposing their truest appearance after stripping off their gorgeous coats]

[After becoming a true high-dimensional creature]

You understand everything

[Whether it is the truth of this world, the existence of the pink-haired girl, or your own existence]

【Dream】

[In a nutshell, this is the deepest dream of human beings, the most real self projected from beneath the most essential subconscious surface]

[Countless consciousnesses meet here, countless thoughts merge here, the collective unconsciousness of mankind - Alaya consciousness]

[However, compared to the pure Alaya consciousness, the existence of this world is more chaotic. Rather than being an aggregation of thoughts, it is more like a certain cognitive ceiling, an absolute barrier to thinking.]

[Crossing this world, we will face complete chaos, the limit of human cognition]

[And according to reason, it is impossible for consciousness to exist in such a chaotic world. The consciousness of individual humans is so fragile in the ocean of collective unconsciousness that it can be easily torn apart.]

[But you and the pink-haired girl do exist here.]

[You understand from this that everything you have done to reach this world is possible only if you abandon the essence of human thinking.]

【And why did you come here? 】

[Who to save? ]

【Who to save? 】

【elysia】

[This name flashes through your mind, and you understand it completely]

[This is the highest-dimensional ocean of consciousness. Not only the Earth, but the entire universe. The shallow consciousness of all life will converge into such a vortex of thought]

[In a sense, this can even be said to be a dark universe, which is the limit of what human thinking can reach]

[The life that reaches here will abandon everything, and it will be like climbing a ladder with only an upward path but no return path. It will be completely assimilated by countless thoughts and lose its self.]

[You are like this, so is Elysia]

[Your thoughts in this world are like a bubble in the ocean, which will only be pushed around by the huge torrent]

[However, although the mind is lost, the most basic obsession of human beings will not disappear]

[This represents the obsession of going to the hill that kept flashing through your mind when you first came here, because you came here just to save her, and this obsession will never dissipate]

What about Elysia?

[The tree she stared at endlessly, the thing she spent a long time pursuing, what was she trying to get? ]

[An answer came to my mind instinctively]

[And when you have the answer, you find that your thinking has reached the highest level and is extremely close to the truth]

[This means that you are only one step away from becoming a conceptualized god. If you take one more step, you will become a god that sweeps away all currents and will no longer be able to maintain your individual self.]

[You begin to feel fear, you are not ready to become a god]

[Just as you nervously watched your thoughts move higher and higher, about to break through the constraints of cognition and reach a higher dimension, a pink ribbon appeared out of thin air and grabbed you]

[In an instant, you seem to have gained an anchor point. The mind that had lost its fulcrum no longer continues to rise, but begins to return to its original place little by little.]

Chapter 227 Doomsday

[The moment you wake up, your soul feels a startling pain]

[The terrible pain seems to spread all over your body at once, as if every part of your body is pierced by countless needles, and in the end you even gradually lose consciousness]

【“…”】

[When you gradually regain consciousness, you find a warm and soft feeling coming from your skin]

[You opened your eyes with difficulty and found that the pink-haired girl was facing you silently. She put your head on her chest and hugged your body, as if protecting you.]

[The indescribable coldness you just felt seems to disappear in an instant, and you regain the sense of being a human being.]

[You have not completely turned into a high-dimensional creature that has lost its sensibility]

[“So warm.”]

[Your sigh attracted the attention of the pink-haired girl. Her big eyes stared at you intently, as if she was thinking about what your sigh meant.]

[You didn't say anything more. After all, you never want the girl in front of you to experience the loneliness and coldness that gods experience.]

[That is the cruelty that only you have experienced, and that is enough]

[If someone goes to that kind of place, I am afraid that they will never be able to get any salvation, and may even completely lose their life and become something completely different from life.]

[Fortunately, you didn’t become that kind of concept]

[The girl in front of you has become the only starlight you can perceive in the endless darkness, allowing you to successfully find your human self from the realm of God.]

[“As long as you are here, maybe I won’t be afraid even if I become a god… Maybe I can do better.”]

[Your mouth instinctively says such words]

[Then, regardless of the pink-haired girl's confusion, you immediately broke free from her arms, and with unprecedented motivation, you turned your head and looked at the Tree of Existence.]

[After experiencing the high-dimensional experience just now, your thinking and concepts have become infinitely close to God. All the things that were originally incomprehensible have now become knowledge that you can easily understand. Things that were originally lacking in cognition have quickly become entities that can be captured.]

[You understand that this tree is the cornerstone of existence, and everything extends from the tree to countless similar yet completely different time and space]

[What the pink-haired girl is looking for should be something that does not exist on this tree]

[After all, if that was something that could be found, after so many years of searching, the final answer should have been found long ago.]

[Since it has not been found, it means that the answer does not exist at all]

[At this moment, you suddenly discovered that although the tree trunks were growing continuously, they all withered suddenly at a certain point.]

[The trunk as a whole never has any substantial expansion, and at a certain critical point, it reaches an end like a fixed node]

[“This shouldn’t be referring to the collapse… After all, in the memories I saw, many worlds successfully defeated the collapse and reached the future…”]

You quickly realize

[In other words, there are threats in the world other than the collapse that humans cannot handle, and sooner or later, all life will be swallowed up together.]

[But you still can’t figure out what that is]

Chapter 228 This is an experiment!

[After realizing your situation and that it is impossible to return to the real world, you begin to survive in this high-dimensional world]

[You are also surprised at your own open-mindedness, but you do not feel any confusion or panic because you are out of the dimension of reality.]

[This may be because of the pink-haired girl who exists here with you. As long as she is here, you feel that you can handle anything.]

[After getting rid of that extreme high-dimensional experience, you have never given up the idea of ​​ascending to a higher dimension again]

[After all, in that extreme high-dimensional experience, in addition to almost completely losing the chance to restore your humanity, you also gained a lot of knowledge about the nature of the world.]

[You guess that the way to escape from this world should be hidden in it. As long as you can understand the more essential things, you may be able to find a way to leave here, and take her with you.]

[However, the pink-haired girl never let you touch the Tree of Existence again after that, as if she was worried that you would suffer the same tragedy as before.]
