This is my revenge!

therefore……

"Since I'm overthinking it, then... on the premise of protecting your 'backdoor', I'll also participate a little in the so-called 'war' of the participants and make some 'extra money' along the way."

Therefore, during this period, Ling Ke's army of "dominant puppets" swept through a large number of invaders in multiple universes.

And now, since the sequel on this Earth side is no longer worth looking forward to...

"It's not my habit to passively take a beating."

"It's time to 'counterattack' one by one."

"besides……"

In the pure white hall, Ling Ke's gaze seemed to have crossed an extremely long distance and began to search the entire Collapse Universe.

"A Star Gate is about to open in this universe."

"I hope you can withstand the coming shocks."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, "This time, it's a war in the truest sense—a war to the death."

ps: The second volume is about to end.

Of course, the roles of the characters in Honkai Impact 3rd are not over yet.

After all, the protagonist's last "enemy" is still alive.

Continue coding.

Volume 2: Chapter 216: The Thinning War

In the field of forest ecology, there is such a seemingly inconspicuous professional term.

It's called "thinning."

As we all know, the total amount of natural resources within a certain area of ​​vegetation is limited.

Therefore, in order to make the forest "healthy" and promote the growth efficiency of trees inside, some experienced foresters will occasionally plan to cut down a certain number of trees...

In this way, we can effectively avoid the hidden danger of forest decline and provide enough growth space for the remaining trees.

And now...

“If we compare the different ‘worlds’ to ‘trees’ of different sizes.”

"Then, within a limited 'forestland,' as too many 'trees' grow larger and more luxuriant, they will inevitably squeeze the living space of others."

"Either the sunlight is blocked, or the water source is taken away."

"Even... it's simply because too many branches extended out and squeezed each other."

"And often, only when one or more 'worlds' are destroyed, like felled trees, creating space for new growth, will the other 'trees' around them have a chance to grow further."

"This is a gamble on the future of the entire 'world'. One side is bound to be completely annihilated. There is no room for negotiation—"

"Thinning War."

Inside the Starry Sky Train, Ling Ke, who had already left the pure white hall of the Domination Theater, was telling the bewildered Xilin and... Kali, who was listening very attentively, what he had learned from the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers."

Yes, Kali.

At this moment, this sky-blue-skinned Herrscher of Blood has already received the reward bestowed upon him by Ling Ke, the "winner" he deserves.

That is: what she wanted most...the chance to follow "God".

Of course, considering that Xilin had gotten the same opportunity purely out of sheer luck, Ling Ke felt he couldn't favor one over the other, so...

Unlike Xilin who has not yet had the opportunity to resurrect any deceased person, Ling Ke resurrected Kali's parents and, just like he rewarded Xier before, specially opened up a universe.

The Earth in that universe also did not collapse.

Kali's family were not residents of the slums of India.

According to Kali's vision, it was just a simple, ordinary home.

She can go back and reunite with her parents at any time.

Of course, in order not to scare her parents, Kali will return to the appearance of the ordinary little girl she used to be when she goes there.

And other times, like now...

"God, if you want to destroy a world, Kali will do everything in her power."

The little girl said this respectfully.

Obviously, the current Earth no longer arouses her interest.

After all, the latter is just an insignificant planet on a "branch".

But by following the footsteps of "God", what she could come into contact with was a "forest".

but……

"It is ultimately too dangerous to rashly travel to other 'worlds'."

Ling Ke was actually a bit protective. "So... Kali, if you want to help me, then you should stay within the control of the 'Tree of Imaginary Numbers'."

"With your abilities, commanding those 'offspring' to hunt down the invaders... this should be considered your forte."

"Don't worry, as your personal performance improves, the 'Tree of Imaginary Numbers' will not be stingy and will definitely give you more rewards."

"For example: allowing your existing powers to be further transformed."

Hearing him say that, the little girl was obviously very excited.

Speaking of which...

Originally, Ling Ke planned to directly award the "Cocoon of the End" to Kali and completely bind it to her.

But considering something that was about to happen next, he temporarily gave up the idea.

As for what exactly this so-called "something" is...

Well, Ling Ke is not going to be a riddler.

At that moment, he reminded directly:

"Kali, next, a star gate will open within the solar system."

"Those things on the third planet (Earth) have nothing to do with you anymore."

"I'll teleport you somewhere else in advance."

Obviously, the reason why Ling Ke made this decision was because Kali was unable to deal with the things that came out of that "star gate".

As for...

"God."

The little girl asked respectfully, "What is this 'Star Gate' you're talking about?"

"Uh~"

Ling Ke was stunned for a moment.

Well, he forgot to explain that.

At the moment...

"Just now, I compared the world to a tree. Do you remember?"

"Hmm~"

Kali nodded.

Then, I heard...

"So, following this line of thought, if the two 'trees' continue to grow and become too close to each other... what will happen?"

Ling Ke asked this.

"Their branches will be intertwined with each other."

Kali gave an immediate answer.

"Yes."

Ling Ke raised his right hand and pointed his index finger. "The tree represents the world, and the branches represent the universes."

"When branches extend forward, they represent time; when branches fork, they represent possibility."

"And when two branches with different 'sources' touch each other, this is what is called a 'cosmic collision.'"

"The 'Star Gate' is the interface between those 'branches'."

"Through it, invaders from another 'world' will bring the laws of 'over there' to our 'side'."

"Precisely because those invaders possess their 'World's Protection', even though they are within the control of the 'Tree of Imaginary Numbers', we cannot forcibly eliminate them based on the rules."

"On the other hand, the scouts we sent over here also suffered the same fate."

"And under this premise..."

Ling Ke's lips curled up slightly. "Invaders, or even the natives from another world, can only be eliminated using conventional means."

"So, Kali, your mission is to find the invaders and eliminate them."

"But this incident is beyond your scope, so don't force it."

After hearing these explanations, Kali nodded respectfully again and responded, "Everything will be in accordance with your instructions."

By the way, there is another person next to him...

(⊙_⊙)

Xilin was somewhat caught off guard and was still confused.

She...isn't really good at using her brain.

Fortunately, Ling Ke had not originally planned to let her take the same job as Kali, so she just needed to be a little maid.

As for the last Herrscher still existing on Earth...

"From now on, the Herrscher of Thunder will still be under your command. How about that?"

"This……"

At this moment, Ling Ke accurately caught the fleeting look of disgust on the face of the young believer in front of him.

Of course, this look of disgust was not directed at Ling Ke.

But... Kali obviously felt that once she stepped onto this "bigger stage", she really had no time to take care of her colleague with a tough personality.

"I feel like I can be more efficient if I act alone."

Kali thought to herself, "But this is the good intention of the God... emmmm~"

In the end, she agreed.

Volume 2: Chapter 217: Civilization Trial, End

Three months later…

Mei has been in a bad mental state recently.

Because, for some unknown reason, the nearly ten "Prometheus-like" Ark spacecraft she had launched recently suddenly lost communication shortly after setting sail.

Correct.

So far, not even a single spacecraft has successfully left the solar system.

In May's estimation, this was something that should not have happened.

This is because the later the Ark spacecraft sets sail, the more advanced the power system it carries.

A few days ago, the ship that had recently set out had even reached the threshold of "Jump" through the power of the Herrscher of the Sky.

As for the "warp" system... according to the ideas of Mei and the several "Vilvi consciousnesses" she preserved, it has almost become a standard configuration for "fast interstellar travel."

It can even instantly allow the Ark spacecraft to escape from the solar system.

In theory, it is enough to use it directly for the most core "Spark Immigration".

But now...
