Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

The girl's slender figure kept shuttling between the wet woods, and suddenly she swung the greatsword in her hand, igniting the light and killing several Honkai beasts hiding in the water. There was a constant roar in her ears, and a bright light in her eyes. Kiana knew that Bronya and the others were fighting somewhere else.

After nine hours of fighting with the Thirteenth Herrscher, everyone was already tired. This Herrscher had no special powers but was simply strong, strong enough to withstand many attacks and shatter space at will. It was extremely difficult for Kiana and the others to defeat him.

After the sixth hour of the battle, the Thirteenth Herrscher suddenly changed his combat style from head-on collision to constantly shuttling through the rainforest, releasing a large number of Honkai beasts.

"Got it. I'll try to locate the Herrscher in the air for you immediately." The Valkyrie responded to Kiana.

The communication system was installed on all the warships. After hearing Kiana's request, the warships changed from being clustered together to being dispersed. The radar equipment was enough to spread over most of the rainforest. Unexpectedly, the Valkyries' radars did not detect high-intensity Honkai energy.

Could it be that the Thirteenth Herrscher escaped?

But there was no motive to escape, and Kiana had a collision with the Herrscher not long ago. The Valkyries were puzzled and could only report to the ground that they could not find the Herrscher for the time being. Just as Hefjord was about to reply to Kiana, a sharp noise suddenly came from the communication device.

"…Captain! This is Erica…The Thirteenth Herrscher has not disappeared. She is in front of my fleet! She is approaching!"

The terrified voice disappeared in vain, and then the noise came again. Hefuyot's pupils dilated, and she suddenly looked up at the gray sky. In the distance, a fiery red light flickered for a moment, and then the light ball fell towards the emerald green rainforest below.

The result of a direct confrontation with the Herrscher is predictable. Now, only after the war can Erica be given the title of Glorious Valkyrie.

The flames fell and rose, cutting lines between the sky and the earth. The girl's long silver-white hair seemed to be dyed red by the flames on her body, and she stared at the Herrscher who had killed another of her comrades with uncontrollable anger in her eyes.

The greatsword in her hand lit up the Herrscher Core, and Kiana said in a truly angry tone, "I will never let you go!"

In front of her was the expressionless Thirteenth Herrscher. Seeing the flames that were enough to threaten her, she was not moved at all. She just raised her palm calmly, and a crystal light fell on her palm. She turned around without fear that the enemy behind her would attack her.

When he looked up at the gray sky, his eyes finally revealed a trace of yearning and piety, "God is about to come."

The beam of light surrounded by a large number of Valkyries dimmed again.

23. The Imaginary Number Tree Blooms

When the light column began to dim, everyone felt dazed. Some people quickly came to their senses and wanted to stop it, but they actually didn't know how to stop the light column from dimming. Even if you stop the hands of the clock, time in the real world will still move forward.

Now no one could believe that a greater disaster would not come. And they were convinced that the time for the end was getting closer and closer.

"The only thing that hasn't dimmed is the beam of light on the sea." After receiving the report, Tesla told the people in the laboratory truthfully, with a sense of helplessness in his tone, "What is the situation on the three battlefields? We need manpower to prepare for what will happen after the end. Even if the final result is defeat, we can't just wait to die."

Einstein looked up at her, then lowered his eyes and continued to observe the battlefield. "The battle situation is intense. I have spoken to Ms. Theresa not long ago, and she said that it will be resolved as soon as possible."

"What about Shen Yunie? Is he back?"

A long silence.

"No……"

At the North Pole, looking out over the endless ice-blue plains, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently, and the thick snow began to collapse in the earthquake-like tremor. A white wave began to surge and push, and a golden light appeared from it. Chains emerged from the light and reached the invisible part of the sky, as if locking the heaven and the earth.

The light rushed upstream in the avalanche and collided with an object. The air flow surged, and the snow in the surrounding area of ​​several kilometers was evaporated, revealing a dark blue thick ice surface. After the collision, the two lights gradually stopped and revealed their original appearance.

Theresa knelt on one knee with the Oath of Judas fully deployed, her bloodless cheeks emitting white steam. In contrast to her miserable appearance, the gray-gold wings first spread out after the light dimmed. The man's slender body was covered in armor, and he suffered no substantial damage, only slight cracks on the armor.

The face covered by the mask and the lips were constantly opening and closing, but no sound came out, just like a devout believer silently reciting the Bible of the god he believed in.

Two huge waves of collapse energy erupted hundreds of meters away. For those on the battlefield, this distance could be crossed in an instant. While the false god was silently thinking for a moment, the sharp double knives and swords suddenly slashed towards his head, and the air passing by began to distort faintly.

Yaezakura and Hua also looked unhappy. The battle lasted for a long time, which was very exhausting for them. In addition, various bad news came out, and they made mistakes frequently in the battle, and their bodies had suffered a lot of injuries.

The two knew that their attacks would hardly cause any harm to the false god, but they were determined to attack. They were willing to die here in the end. Living in this world, influenced by someone, even if they were not ready to take responsibility for the fate of mankind, the two girls were ready to share it for him.

As expected, the moment the sword fell, the false god had already spread his wings. The iron-thorn wings sent the two flying, and the indestructible weapon only cut off a few feathers.

When they were blown away, Yae Sakura and Hua controlled their bodies in the air and landed on the ice. Theresa, who had just caught her breath, rushed over. She stared at the false god with a cold expression, knowing that it was the appearance of her grandfather, and she had no intention of holding back in the battle.

"Leave the next attack to me." Theresa mentioned Judas's Oath. "We'll take turns attacking. If one of us loses our fighting ability, we really won't be able to win. Don't worry about the disappearance of the light column. Trust the others."

Judah's Oath pierced the ice, and countless golden chains surged out of it, surrounding the world. Theresa took out an obsidian spear from it. The zero rated power of the Key of Domination, all the Honkai energy in the field would be annihilated in an instant. Although it could not directly kill the false god, it also forcibly froze it in place.

"Let me unleash this most powerful blow!"

The petite figure passed by, and the ice surface collapsed inch by inch where the toes landed. The false god continued to stretch his wings to try to break the shackles on his body. As his movements became larger and larger, the power of control could no longer restrain him.

Before Theresa could complete the attack with her small but strong body, the false god would completely break free from the restraints, and she would have to give up the power of domination, otherwise she would be killed by her own ability.

But even if the power was removed, it would be difficult for them to win the battle against the false god's almost invincible defense.

"Grandpa, please bless me just once." The words of prayer disappeared in the sound of ice breaking, and Theresa's cheek, which was blown by the cold wind, showed a resolute expression.

Before the false god could break free, the petite figure finally rushed in front of him. The long obsidian hair penetrated through the wings that had not yet spread and sank into the chest. The gray-gold armor was shattered, and all the false god's movements stopped at this moment.

“Go to hell…” Theresa gasped and staggered backwards. “You are a monster with the appearance of my grandfather. You are not worthy of it…”

Gradually, the sound of breaking came from the obsidian spear. Theresa's eyes shrank in shock, and cracks appeared on the obsidian spear. Her strongest attack might not cause any damage to the almost invincible false god, so she would no longer have any means to attack him.

The obsidian spear completely shattered into a point of light and dissipated, but the expected scene of the false god completely breaking free from the shackles did not happen. There was still a wound on his chest that did not bleed, and the shattering sound never stopped. Cracks spread across the entire armor, and even his skin began to shatter.

Theresa's eyes lit up again, and the smile she couldn't help showing was full of fatigue. The long battle finally came to an end, and they won.

The false statue was a statue that was about to be shattered, and fragments fell off densely like raindrops. Yaezakura and Hua, who were restricted in their movements due to their lack of Honkai energy, could not help but show joy after seeing such a scene.

Yaezakura heaved a long sigh of relief and turned on the earphones to report to everyone in Saint Freya, "This is Yaezakura at the Arctic battlefield. We have successfully killed the false god. How is the situation over there?"

"Roger that, this is Saint Freya." Einstein's voice came from the headset, "Destroy one of the remaining light pillars. Once you are sure that the false god is completely dead, come back as soon as possible. Stay safe, Ms. Yaezakura."

Under Theresa's vigilant gaze, the false god collapsed and perished bit by bit, and the horrific haze of collapse energy shrouding the North Pole dissipated.

The depression in the laboratory was dispelled a lot, and the three people who had been fighting hard for a long time smiled. The rescue warships were already rushing to the scene with the positioning system, and finally someone could monitor the situation after the beam of light dimmed.

The feeling of joy did not last long. When a researcher lowered his eyes to look at the data he was supposed to monitor, the smile on his face gradually disappeared along with fear.

She spoke in astonishment and without being able to control her voice, "No... that's not right! The last beam of light has also disappeared!"

As she spoke, the joyful atmosphere in the laboratory disappeared, and everyone immediately left their positions and ran over. Their eyes focused on the screen, and the last beam of light supervised by this researcher disappeared without anyone noticing.

A few minutes later, the room was filled with the sounds of people trying to connect to the communication. The Valkyries, who had no idea how to deal with the disappearance of the light column, began to seek help. But no one in the laboratory that brought together all the geniuses of Destiny, Einstein or Tesla, had a solution.

They could only wait, just as the rumors of the previous civilization said. When the fourteen beams of light dimmed, the end would come to the world.

In the park of St. Freya, among the scattered cherry blossoms, Leah sat quietly, looking at the sun gradually setting under the thick clouds in the sky. She felt helpless and melancholy, because her important people were fighting all over the world, but she could not do anything to help.

The boy who had stepped into the abyss to save the world and her had not returned.

It was still afternoon, but the sky was unexpectedly dark. The only remaining light fell on Leah's face, and her bright eyes reflected the gradually darkening sky. She raised her hands and clasped them in front of her chest, silently praying for the people she cared about.

Fourteen hours after the three monsters were born on Earth, the sun in the universe was obscured by some kind of influence. All the Honkai energy in the world except for the two monsters began to disappear. After testing, it was found that the energy was converging towards the moon nearly 400,000 kilometers away.

When Leah arrived at the laboratory, Theresa, who had been fighting in the Arctic, had already returned. There were still two battles that were still going on. As darkness fell, it was bound to affect the Valkyries' psychology, and the final outcome was difficult to determine.

She walked towards Yaezakura and Hana who were resting at the edge, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. At this point, none of them could help.

Several doctors and Theresa were discussing today, and a picture appeared on the huge screen deep in the laboratory. "After observing the surface of the moon, the problem lies in that temple."

The gray rock soil was exposed on the ground, and the huge lonely castle disappeared, replaced by a black giant tree. Its roots were well developed, and the part exposed on the ground was as ferocious as a dragon. The thick black trunk emitted a flaming air wave, but the leaves on the huge crown were completely different. The colorful leaves were close together like a hazy rainbow.

Because of its appearance, the sun and the moon were obscured. The final form of the collapse, the tree of imaginary numbers, appeared here because the growth of this world has reached the point where it should undergo the final test.

Theresa stared at the screen intently. The oath of Judas, who was injured in the battle, had not been revoked. She felt that there might be another battle waiting for her. "Help me prepare a rocket that can reach the moon at the fastest speed. Is there any news from the World Serpent?"

"The World Serpents have gone to support two battlefields not long ago. Their leader Kevin is waiting."

"wait for what?"

"Shen Yunie..."

Theresa turned around and looked at the person who said this. Yes, they still have a weapon to use, but where is that person now?

24. War between Gods

The sun was blocked, leaving only the dark sky. The dark clouds gathered at some point, and only the deafening roar could be heard, but no light was visible. Heavy rain fell, and the raindrops covered the light of the incandescent lamp. When the darkness enveloped us, some people were trying to turn the situation around, some were fighting hard, and some were waiting.

Through improved satellite detectors, people on Earth can clearly see the current state of the moon. The final form of collapse was born, but civilization was not destroyed. The imaginary tree began to grow wildly after it appeared, and the collapse energy from all over the world flowed from the land to the moon 400,000 kilometers away.

Erosion disappeared from the land, and this place, which should have been full of vitality, showed dark red crystallization. After tens of thousands of years of civilization evolution, this world has long adapted to the existence of collapse, and if it loses it, it will suffer the disaster of imbalance.

The tree of imaginary numbers is growing, and world civilization is about to restart. Naturally, there is no need for collapse to continue eroding this place.

The imaginary trees in the picture are getting bigger and bigger, and the colorful leaves between the treetops are magnificent.

The sound of the rain tugged at everyone's heart, and the laboratory was in a long dead silence. No one could make a decision about the growth of the imaginary tree, and they could only watch it swallow up the earth sooner or later.

Some leaders proposed to use rockets as bombs to attack the Imaginary Tree, but this was rejected by Theresa. The feasibility of doing so was very low, and no matter how advanced the civilization was, it could not withstand such a waste of resources.

In her opinion, instead of using rockets as bombs, it would be better to send someone strong enough to have the same power as a bomb.

But until now, she has not taken any action. Everyone is waiting, waiting for the disappeared person to come back and fulfill his promise.

"This is Youlandel, located in the Far East battlefield. We have already dealt with the Imaginary God's Remains. Why did the sky suddenly turn black? And I feel my power draining away from my body little by little."

Like a plain swept by a hurricane, the imaginary god's huge gray-gold body dissipated along with the falling raindrops. Yulandel glanced at the two comrades who had left the battlefield and asked in confusion.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please come back for now. The situation here..." Theresa didn't know how to explain for a moment. "I'll explain it to you when you come back. The situation is hard to say right now. We need a lot of manpower."

"receive."

All those who possessed Honkai energy vaguely felt that after the Honkai energy of the land was pulled away from the earth, the Honkai energy in their bodies was gradually stripped away and disappeared. Will people who lost Honkai energy become ordinary people? No one can be sure, and what awaits them may not be a new life, but may also be death.

As their Honkai energy was being stripped away, the combat effectiveness of these strongest people was constantly decreasing, even though they had not yet lost all their power. Theresa knew that she could no longer wait.

"Prepare a rocket that can reach the moon as quickly as possible, and contact Kevin. Before Shen Yunie comes back, someone must stop the tree from growing."

The oath of Judas fell on the back of the petite body. Theresa turned around with a serious expression but was stopped by Leah who was standing beside her.

Meeting the gods meant high risk and death. The heroes of the previous civilization were as powerful as Theresa now, or even stronger. But in the end, only two people survived, and some even died after only surviving for a few minutes in front of the gods.

"Theresa, you can't go." Leah stretched out her hand to block her way with a tangled expression, "Yu Nie said that no one except him can deal with God. That would only cause unnecessary sacrifices."

Theresa was stunned for a moment, "But..."

It's not that she doesn't believe Shen Yunie will come back. But in the current situation, someone must take action to ensure that the people who stay behind don't lose hope. She can't ask others to do it, only she can do it.

"Theresa, aren't we best friends? So please believe in the person I love the most. He will definitely come back."

The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and the laboratory reflected in their eyes suddenly distorted violently, and then all the lights were cut off, and the entire laboratory fell into darkness for a moment.

Theresa responded and asked into the darkness, "What's wrong?"

If the tree of imaginary numbers grows and devours the energy of this planet, then they won't even be qualified to go to the moon to face it.

"I don't know... The moment the power was cut off, the backup energy in the laboratory also failed. We are in the main control room, which means that the entire Saint Freya has lost power." Someone answered in a frightened voice.

The weak white light shone across everyone's face. Now they could only use some of the already charged lights. Ji Zi, who was in the crowd, nodded to the two people from a distance with a determined look, "Are you scared by such a small noise? Contact the logistics department of Saint Freya. There is energy stored in the warehouse. The research must continue until we kill that guy!"

The crowd started moving again following her words.

Under the dim light, Leah wanted to dissuade Theresa, but before she could open her mouth, a voice came from the earphone hanging on her ear.

"Liya? Yunie is back..."

"Where are you?" Leah's voice rose uncontrollably with joy, and she held Theresa with her other hand.

"Exit here. You'd better prepare yourself mentally..." Yaezakura's words were emotionless, as if she was hiding something. Even so, it couldn't erase Leah's joy, and she pulled Theresa towards the exit in the distance.

The rain seemed to turn the world into pitch black, but now there was light that drove away the darkness, and the figure stood in the rain. Raindrops fell beside him, and the light and shadow were distorted and unreal when reflected. Yaezakura and Hua stood beside him. They were already wet by the rain, but he was not. When the water drops fell, they passed through his body and finally fell to the ground and scattered, as if he was in another world.

When they were about to reach the exit, Leah let go of Theresa's hand and ran towards the figure, stepping into the heavy rain without paying any attention.

After being away for a few hours, something in him seemed to have completely changed. His ethereal body seemed to be about to dissipate at any moment, yet it stood tall like a huge mountain.

But her appearance had not changed, still the familiar look to Leah. Noticing her arrival, Yae Sakura and Hua stepped back to make way for her. Their expressions were not very good, with no joy of reunion at all, only deep worry.

The raindrops slid down her fair face, and her eyes between her hair couldn't hide her joy. Yaezakura and Hua probably had the same expression when they came.

Lia raised her hand to him, "Hune?"

Shen Yunie looked at her calmly, and after a long time, he revealed a helpless smile.

【Sister Leah.】

He never moved his lips, but his voice was hollow and vague, bringing a huge sense of oppression. The power of his words seemed to be able to shatter the space.

Leia was stunned and stretched out her hand to touch that face. "How... did you become like this?"

But something beyond expectations was still happening. The fingertips penetrated his illusory and shallow skin. The inside was empty and would not be affected by the things in this world and could not be touched.

[This is the price of becoming a god. My body has been annihilated in the quantum sea. All you can see now is my soul.]

In the endless divine punishment, Shen Yunie finally became the new god of the Quantum Sea. Without a true mentality, he could only appear in the state of soul, because no body could bear the cost of releasing the rules.

Seeing Leia's confused expression, Shen Yunie raised his hand, and a faint light lingering in his palm covered Leia's cheek, but she could not feel the temperature.

[I'm back, leave the rest to me. ]

He was not a god from this world, and staying here would only strip him of his power. Shen Yunie could have gone directly to face the Imaginary Tree and solve everything, but in order to fulfill his promise, he returned here first.

Light burst out from the inside of the illusory body, and the body was already blurred in the sight of the three people. They all showed reluctance and stretched out their hands to try to touch the body that they could not reach. Shrouded by a sense of uneasiness, this meeting made them even more reluctant to let Shen Yunie face the imaginary tree alone.
