Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

The broken corridor seemed to be coming to an end. In the distance, clouds dyed goose yellow could be vaguely seen floating. It seemed that the sun was setting, and there were vague outlines of hills. Compared with this broken purple world, the scenery over there was obviously much better.

Before they knew it, they were about to arrive at the new world that Alicia had mentioned.

In front of him was still a huge purple platform, surrounded by high walls, carved with unknown gorgeous patterns. This was the last place in this world. The world of constant reincarnation was obviously designed by someone. Qianjie asked Shen Yunie to fight, and he happened to be the strongest enemy. To reach the end, one must have strong strength.

Alicia stood at the back, silently clenching her hands to cheer Shen Yunie up. She would do this every time, praying that things would change and free herself from this pain, but until now nothing had changed, and she gradually became numb and thought that this was good, at least she could stay with her comrades.

I think the people who came to seek answers this time have not changed. They are all facing tests at this point, just like the Herrscher of Thunder last time.

The first test was the Judgment-level dragon-shaped Honkai Beast Benares, the second was the Super Judgment-level, Dragon Bird Garuda, and the third was the Imaginary God's Skeleton. Most people got the answer in the second or third world and left. As for the final world, that was the door.

Alicia didn't know what was inside the door. Her premonition was to lead people forward, and perhaps she would be freed when the door opened.

Unfortunately, Shen Yunie doesn't seem to be the person who can change. From his arrival till now, everything has been developing according to the original script.

As he stepped into the room, a warm breeze blew towards him. The young man stood tall and straight in the wind without moving an inch. The huge Honkai beast descended from the sky in front of him did not frighten him at all. Instead, he grabbed the Key of God and rushed towards the giant dragon with its wings spread.

Seeing the young man use the Black Abyss White Flower in his hand to forcibly break the dragon's breath, Alicia nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that his strength is not weak."

Qianjie shrugged disdainfully, "It takes too long to deal with this kind of bug, and it's still too weak."

The Emperor class is the most powerful Houkai beast in the Houkai world and can be born in large numbers. After that, each Houkai beast will become hundreds of times stronger. The Judgment class, even after continuous growth and transformation, it will evolve to a strength that is not inferior to the Herrscher.

"Got it. You took forty minutes to deal with Benares." Alicia muttered, "You can even deal with the Herrscher on your own. That's pretty impressive."

Qianjie, who vaguely heard the voice, couldn't help but wonder: "How do you know?"

"I...let's just focus on watching the battle."

Those who can reach here are all very powerful, and can easily kill the emperor and deal with the judge-level or the Herrscher. So when they saw Shen Yunie suppressing Benares at a very fast speed, they were not too surprised. What was still a little surprising was that his fighting time was very short.

Only ten minutes have passed, and Benares has begun to change its form under Shen Yunie's attack. This Judgment-level creature accidentally gained the ability to transform three elements during its evolution. Its strength is definitely top-notch among the few Honkai beasts.

The sky full of gun shadows blocked the bombardment of thunder. The giant dragon's scales stood up like sharp blades. It turned its body and swept its tail towards Shen Yunie who jumped into the air. The latter had no ability to fly. If he was hit in the air, he would naturally be killed by the impact.

At the moment of contact, the sharp dragon scales penetrated through Shen Yunie's body, and the black abyss and white flowers pierced straight into Benares' throat. The means of evasion by the void were surprising. At the moment when the mist bloomed like a black flower, the figure of the dragon disappeared from the room, leaving only the young man who slowly landed and took back the gun.

Alicia sighed: "Thirty minutes, surpassing a thousand calamities."

This was the first person to surpass Qianjie, and the Herrscher of Thunder completed it in about the same time as him. The girl subconsciously glanced at Qianjie, who just sneered without any extra reaction, but the temperature in the air seemed to have risen a lot.

Qianjie passed by Shen Yunie, and the pride in his tone did not diminish at all. "Now that you have some strength, it seems that I can no longer call you a bug. Continue patrolling, and when we get to the base, you will be qualified to be challenged by me."

Crossing the huge wall, a gray-yellow world appeared in front of Shen Yunie. This was the second world. Qianjie had already jumped down from the hundreds of meters high without hesitation, and he followed closely behind. Alicia, who was walking at the back, suddenly looked at the young man who was gradually getting smaller in the air.

She always felt that things seemed to have changed, but she couldn't tell where. It was like she had repeated reincarnation countless times here, but she didn't know who made her keep reborn.

The monsters in the second world have changed from the original Collapse Beasts that would be born in the Collapse World to the Herrscher's servants. Qianjie no longer fights alone, but calls Shen Yunie and Alicia together, and the three of them work together to push forward.

13. The Mark That Cannot Be Born

The sound of stepping on leaves can be clearly heard, and the world seems particularly quiet at this moment. The rows of maple trees are golden, and the leaves are stained with a little red, but not so obvious, like the rouge on a girl's face, light.

There is actually only one passage in the new world, and patrolling means walking between the three worlds. According to Alicia, these were the last three cities owned by humans, but after the Herrscher of Corrosion descended, the nuclear bombs were corroded by it and all launched. Although there is a barrier to protect it, almost all humans died after the bombing. The boundary between heaven and earth is no longer obvious, and only this road connects the three cities.

The distant mountains and clouds that Shen Yunie saw at dusk were the result of an uncontrollable sky barrier. At this time in history, there were no stars in the sky, and it was suffocatingly dark.

The monsters born in this world are all different. They seem to be the followers of each Herrscher. The previous civilization was not as lucky as it is now to have Herrschers fighting for humanity. When seeing the puppets of the Thousand Herrschers appear, Shen Yunie felt that the second world was about to come to an end.

A lavender semicircular barrier unfolded, and countless crystalline arrows fell from the dome. Creatures touched by the attack would be crystallized in a very short period of time, fixed in place and unable to move. At the same time, white meteors and bone-scorching flames swept across the entire field, and all creatures disappeared from sight in an instant.

When the barrier touched, Shen Yunie turned to look at Qianjie, who kept his hands crossed in front of his chest. The flame was not real flame, and Qianjie was not a human with the genes of Honkai beast, but an outsider who fell from the sky and was somewhat similar to himself.

He has great power since he was born. Qianjieduo is strong in his body and anger. He is belligerent because he cannot suppress the desire to fight in his body. His anger will turn into a substantial flame that is enough to burn everything. His unrestricted power is comparable to that of a Herrscher. In order to prevent him from going berserk, he is restricted, but in fact, his belligerence is not reduced much.

Shen Yunie withdrew his gaze from the alien and walked towards the passage. After that, the eyes under Qianjie's mask also looked at the alien from another world walking in front of him. Under his calm appearance, his heart was completely different.

A strong desire to fight grew in his body, and his eyes seemed to be glued to the other party and could not be moved away. Qianjie rarely had this feeling after being restricted, not even when facing Kevin, but when Shen Yunie launched an attack, it seemed that there was a voice urging him to fight as well.

"It's so hot, Shen Yunie, can you feel it?" Alicia fanned her cheeks with her little hands. She looked back at Qianjie, "Did you cause this?"

"..." Qianjie did not answer, but walked past the girl with a temperature that was enough to melt steel. His eyes under the mask were fixed on Shen Yunie, and he was trying hard to restrain himself from fighting.

The passage is long and winding, with beautiful sunset scenery on both sides of the road and the breeze blowing in the face with a touch of summer warmth. If you don't think about your situation and look at the abyss under your feet, walking here will be a very enjoyable experience.

Alicia was humming a tune when she walked to the maple tree, tiptoed to pick a golden maple leaf with a hint of rouge. She stroked the lines on the leaf with her palm and sighed softly, "It's so beautiful. If I give it to Phyllis, she will definitely be very happy to accept it."

The girl put the maple leaf into the bag at her waist, without much joy on her face. The gift could not be delivered, and she could no longer return to the base to talk to her comrades. She watched them die in battle and started the next reincarnation with grief.

No matter what we try, even if we refuse to patrol, she will disappear when the time comes and disaster will happen.

Alicia turned around and happened to see Shen Yunie standing not far away, looking at her calmly. The falling maple leaves cut off her figure. She raised her lips and smiled softly, "I'm sorry to let you see me when I'm in a bad mood. After all, I'm also a human being and I can't escape."

Shen Yunie shook her head and said, "We are almost at the end of the second world."

"When that happens, I'll give you the gift." The feeling of loss disappeared from Alicia, and she walked briskly to his side. "Because that enemy is very dangerous, we can't defeat it without help. You'll probably get the answer you want after that's over."

Shen Yunie did not speak. What he wanted was a way to deal with the Collapse God. As for how long he would have to walk here, he was not sure. Maybe he would end it halfway, or maybe he would go all the way to the deepest part.

The autumn atmosphere was strong, and the warm wind blew towards them. Qianjie, who was walking in front of them, disappeared without a trace. Just as Shen Yunie was looking around in confusion, Alicia patted his shoulder and shook her head without saying a word.

"Let's go, it's time for you to face it alone."

The falling maple leaves blurred the end of the road. Shen Yunie stood quietly for a while, then walked forward with Alicia.

"Here, I'll give you a gift." The girl stretched out her hand towards him. "The Thirteen Heroes all have the title of Mark. We are regarded as thirteen humanoid weapons. Since you can come here, you are naturally close to the weapon level and should have your own Mark."

Shen Yunie raised his hand and paused in the air, not touching the girl's hand directly, "What will my mark be?"

"Born from yourself, the gift given to you is called the Imprint of Your True Self. In your true self, the imprint will change into whatever you are." Alicia suddenly grabbed his wrist, her cherry-pink hair facing away from the passage. In the light of the evening glow, she seemed to be shining like a real elf.

Mei, who became the Herrscher of Thunder, came here to give birth to the Mingshen Mark. She was a little curious about what the mark would be like after Shen Yunie faced his true self.

But something unexpected happened. Shen Yunie stood there calmly, and he didn't feel anything strange. The girl's palms were cold, and the temperature gradually rose. He didn't know if he had been born in this state.

"Strange..." Alicia's smile faded, "You didn't face your true self?"

Shen Yunie replied calmly, "No. I didn't see anything."

The girl was stunned for a moment, turned over his hand, and there was no mark on the back of his hand. Normally, it takes time to digest and accept the true self, but Shen Yunie has never lost consciousness and directly pulled his hand out of the girl's hand.

"I don't belong to this world. I am my true self now."

Alicia stared at his face, "But you don't have a mark."

Different things happened, and everyone who came here looking for answers encountered roughly the same thing, with only the details changing. This was the first time that a huge change had occurred.

People who cannot be born with a mark. It is a means of enhancement, allowing people to walk to the answers they are looking for in this world. Without the mark, how far can Shen Yunie go?

"Shall we keep going?" Shen Yunie looked towards the passage covered with fallen maple leaves, and it seemed vaguely that there was a figure waiting for him.

Unable to figure out what the problem was, Alicia nodded distressedly, "This is the first time such a big change has happened. Perhaps I won't be able to guide you on the road ahead. Sorry."

"It's ok."

Shen Yunie released the Black Abyss White Flower, stepped over the maple leaves and entered the last place of this world. It was like a place where a hill was flattened, and golden maple leaves fell. The dragon bird Garuda in Alicia's memory no longer existed, but a person who seemed to have difficulty controlling his body wandered here.

He roared like a wild animal, and the fragments gradually fell off his body and turned into dust on the ground. The bone-scorching flames burned his clothes, revealing a body made of golden lava. The mask stuck to his skin and was gradually swallowed by the lava. The state of the man at this moment made the two people who walked in feel deadly danger.

Alicia looked at the increasingly violent man in astonishment, muttering, "How could it become a thousand disasters..."

In the final battle, Qianjie faced the end in this state. His strength was even enough to hold back the gods for a while so that his comrades could escape. Unfortunately, that was the last battle and no one chose to escape. After being unable to intervene in the battle, Qianjie died in the moment when the lava erupted and illuminated the surface of the moon.

Now Qianjie's frenzy has come earlier than expected, and the enemy he faces is not the End, but an outsider who does not belong to this world.

"Is it him?" Shen Yunie didn't understand. The scorching temperature distorted his vision. The energy turned into a barrier and moved throughout his body, but he still couldn't resist the burning sensation. The warrior who originally fought against the collapse became his opponent. He didn't understand what happened.

"Do I really want to become his rival?"

Alicia looked reluctant and turned her head away, "I don't know..."

The roar became heavier, and the lava gradually spread to surround the whole world. Qianjie suddenly looked up at Shen Yunie, and with his movements, a large amount of lava was thrown out of his body and dripped onto the ground. He couldn't control his desire to fight. It seemed that there was a pair of hands pushing him forward, crushing everything.

Lava burst out from the sky, deep gullies appeared on the ground and were gradually filled with magma, and a huge fire tornado swallowed Shen Yunie in an instant. In this battle, Alicia was automatically ignored. When the girl came to her senses, there was no way to rescue her, and she could only retreat backwards to leave the range of the tornado.

The sky and the earth seemed to be torn apart, the fire tornado gradually dissipated, Shen Yunie stood there motionless, the corners of his clothes were blown by the scorching wind. After the light dimmed, his face became sickly pale, and a touch of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, dyeing his lips bright red.

Qianjie, like a monster, attacked again, not giving him a chance to breathe. The broken ground gushed out magma. Shen Yunie subconsciously blocked it with his backhand. The passage of time slowed down in his eyes. After he stepped on it, the magma gushed out. The flames exploded behind him. In the slowed world, only the monster could keep up.

The sound of the sonic boom drew an arc in the air, and the two men began to fight in a state that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

14. A Changed World

Fire arrows and meteors burst from the sky, and everything they touched was burned to ashes by the high temperature and filled with lava, becoming a place that could no longer be set foot on. The battlefield continued to shrink, and at the same time, a series of sonic booms sounded in the air, and figures collided and fought at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

The black abyss and white flower pierced the monster's chest, and the withering mist was released from the inside to the outside, covering it. The burning breath did not weaken at all, and the fire shone in the darkness. Qianjie's body was no longer in the category of life, making the withering ineffective. A fist made of lava stretched out from the darkness, and the cracked ground spit out flames like a volcanic eruption.

Shen Yunie's pupils shrank slightly, and before the flames were about to touch him, his body was penetrated by the refracted light, and his skin color and expression became blurred. In the quantized state, the flames passed through his body, and Qianjie could not control his center of gravity. He staggered forward a few steps, and the place where the bombardment missed was shattered like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth, and the wave of magma was lifted high.

"Ha..." Shen Yunie could clearly hear his heavy breathing. The more the quantization state progressed, the greater the impact on his body. As he walked towards the place beyond the magma wave, the skin on his body began to shatter and dissipate.

Blood gushed out and evaporated into mist in the air. Shen Yunie retreated backwards to avoid it. After being almost forced into a desperate situation, he was not prepared to fight restrainedly. Qianjie, who had turned into a monster, would definitely not stop until he killed him. The other party was a respected senior, but in the face of a matter of life and death, everything had to be put aside.

The roar was deafening, as if a giant dragon was standing in front of him, wantonly venting its flames, and the pressure was fully released. Countless collapsed beasts were crushed by the attack, which forced Shen Yunie's high-speed movement to slow down a lot, but after a moment, his movement speed increased again. In a deep quantum state, although he was in this world now, he was actually moving forward in the cracks of space. Every movement was a crossing, and he endured particularly terrible physical pain.

The quantized state unfolded, and it was not only Shen Yunie's body that was illusory, but everything around him was blurred. The lava was dragged into the cracks and fell into the abyss. He approached Qianjie as if walking on flat ground. After the latter roared, his whole body was burning with flames and rushed towards him like a nuclear bomb about to explode.

The outstretched fingers were formed into slender and sharp claws by lava and swept straight across Shen Yunie's body. The terrifying pressure even shattered the cracks in space, and blood splattered. In the great pain, the handsome face remained calm and reached out to grab Qianjie's body.

His fair skin suddenly turned black, the flames spread to his arms, and sporadic flames spread to his hair. After a moment, all the fires dimmed, and Shen Yunie dragged Qianjie into the crack in the space.

Withering mist filled every corner of the space, and the burning anger was forcibly extinguished in the wash. Qianjie seemed to fall into the deep sea, struggling in the turbulent undercurrent. Not far in front of him, Shen Yunie, who was standing in the sea, gathered his strength in the black abyss and white flower in his hand.

The dazzling light like a meteor continued to grow larger, and the attack that Shen Yunie used to defeat Kevin was repeated here, but this time it was more powerful. He was accumulating energy with the determination to kill Qianjie.

Qianjie's movement speed in sight became slow. In the short time in this world, Shen Yunie had enough time to release a fatal attack.

At the edge of the battlefield, after realizing something was wrong, Alicia had already left. The lava sky did not wrap her up, and the girl watched the battle in the field through a layer of light red film. When she saw Shen Yunie dragging Qianjie into the space crack and began to accumulate a fatal attack, her emotions suddenly tensed up.

Subconsciously, she opened the longbow in her hand, and her fingertips condensed into purple crystal arrows. It was very simple to prevent Qianjie from being killed. All Alicia had to do was shoot arrows into that field. The sudden burst of crystals would be enough to destroy his accumulated attack, and the field would collapse without any attack.

Judging from the extent of their injuries, Shen Yunie may have already revealed his trump card. If he fails, he will no longer be a match for the monstrous Qianjie.

The bowstring was fully drawn, and the crystal arrow flashed with cold light. The battle that Alicia had been looking forward to for a long time was right in front of her, but when the time came, the girl's hand that was tightening the bowstring softened again. Things should not develop like this, and Shen Yunie's ending was not here.

He caused a great change in the things here, and all the known things deviated from the established track. Killing Ying Jie only happened to the Herrscher of the End, maybe he was one of them?

The death of her comrades and herself was a fact. Tens of thousands of years had passed, and the Fire-Chasing Moth and Ying Jie only existed in the database of historical records. In the midst of entanglement and struggle, Alicia's hands trembled unconsciously, and the expression on her pretty face tended to collapse. The desire to end this cycle made her give up the attack in pain.

Even though this was just some data and past events, the girl still couldn't bear to turn her back to the battlefield. She clasped her hands in front of her chest and prayed for her comrades who had long passed away.

In the cracks of space, the lava was washed away by the years and dimmed. The monster roared and screamed and stretched out its hands to tear Shen Yunie apart. But before that, the meteor had released a dazzling brilliance. Before the five claws touched and pierced through, the black abyss and white flowers had already pierced through Qianjie's body.

Everything from the chest to the waist collapsed, and the sticky magma dripped down like blood. All organs were destroyed, and the monster opened its mouth but could no longer make any sound. The area of ​​the lava sky dissipated as the breath of life died, and the magma on the ground no longer existed, leaving only the gullies swept by the storm.

The space cracks broke away, Shen Yunie's tense expression could no longer be maintained, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood with a pale face. He raised his eyes and stared at Qianjie, and his body made of lava gradually collapsed and turned into a stream flowing by his side.

The figure landed beside her, and the girl looked at her comrade who no longer existed, with a trace of disappointment in her eyes. She bent down to help Shen Yunie up, and looked into his eyes in silence.

"I'm sorry, as a guide I can't help you. I can't harm my comrades, even if they are data."

Watching the lava flowing and disappearing from under his feet, Shen Yunie's impression of Qianjie was only that he was powerful. Such a strong man could only fall at the hands of Zhongyan in the end. How should he face it?

He knew very well that within the constraints of the rules, the quantum state would be broken in an instant, and he would not be able to win without restraint. He could only continue to walk inward, and perhaps he would get the final answer at the gate at the end.

Shen Yunie recovered his breath, turned his eyes away from the girl's face, and said calmly: "Let's keep going forward. I didn't expect you to help me. It's enough as long as you don't hinder me. I have never thought of killing anyone here. Those heroes are all respectable warriors."

"I should accept the fact that we are all dead." There was an unspeakable loss in Alicia's tone, "I won't stop you."

The final test of the Twilight World is the Thousand Tribulations. After his demise, a new path appeared before the two of them. That world was even more broken and dark. The burned buildings were pitch black and exuded the smell of death. The rich collapsing energy and nuclear radiation occupied every inch of the air. The sight was heartbreaking and the devastated land.

Shen Yunie stepped into it calmly, and the world behind him became blurred as he went away. Alicia was tense, and after things changed beyond her control, she couldn't predict the monster that would appear next. A terrible thought emerged in her mind, and the result turned into a cold chill that enveloped her whole body.

Perhaps the next enemy will be his comrades-in-arms? Those who have passed away in the long river of time.

Because Qianjie, who was supposed to die at the hands of the Herrscher, died prematurely, the original world line branched off towards a new ending, so what about the others?

The leaves that had turned into ashes fell down, Shen Yunie raised her hand to cover the flying dust, and the road to the third world twisted and turned upward. The magma bypassed the cracks in the ground, and the light refracted to other places in the distance. There were buildings there, like temples dedicated to the gods.

The two walked on this road, and their agile figures flashed in the darkness. The moment Shen Yunie caught sight of them, the black abyss and white flowers had already swept out. The spear split the darkness and nailed it to the ashes. The figure that was constantly moving suddenly froze in place, and turned his neck stiffly to look at the two people.

"Hi?" The girl moved away from the black abyss and white flowers. "I'm just passing by and want to see if there is any treasure here..."

The fire flickered, and the face of a girl with long light brown hair appeared before the two of them. Alicia's expression froze on her face, and the thing she had expected to scare her happened.

Padovich, one of the Thirteen Heroes. According to the previous developments, she was waiting in the base, but now she was in a place where she shouldn't be.

Alicia stepped forward and grabbed the girl's hand, and asked anxiously: "Phyllis, why are you here?"

When the girl heard the question, the first thing she thought of was not to answer. Her expression twisted slightly and she exclaimed, "It hurts, it hurts... Alicia, you are too strong!"

"Sorry." Alicia came to her senses and quickly let go of her hand. She subconsciously glanced at Shen Yunie, fearing that he would kill Phyllis like he killed Qianjie.

It is undeniable that what she imagined really came true.
