Playful! Collapse!

[Note 2: Choosing the status 'Coexistence' will cause slight damage to yourself over a period of time, while also keeping both parties in relatively good physical condition to a certain extent.]

[Note 3: Choosing the 'Die Together' state will make both players more vulnerable to being hit for a period of time, and the damage they take after being hit will be increased.]

[Note 4: After causing a certain degree of damage to yourself, you can switch the bound object to another nearby creature.]

Can I ask, what does it mean to live and die together?

[If it complies with the rules, don't ask this system... Hehehe, here it comes! ]

Hearing the system's voice suddenly become extremely excited, Yuan Yan immediately heard a knock on the door.

"Deputy Alliance Leader Yuan Yan, are you free now?"

"......have."

After hearing Yuan Yan's response, he immediately saw Raiden Ryuma opening the door of the room and walking into the room with Raiden Mei behind him.

Yuan Yan didn't see any obvious injuries on the unfortunate father and daughter.

If you think about it carefully, although both of them suffered severe attacks, before leaving, Yuan Yan used the water power attached to the Fighting God's body to heal their bodies, and also absorbed the lightning power from the Thunder Dragon Horse.

In this situation, unless they encountered an attack along the way, it would be difficult for them to die.

At this time, Lei Dian and his daughter looked at Yuan Yan who was sitting upright on the hospital bed, and bowed to him respectfully.

"Deputy leader."

"Student Yuan Yan."

"Thank you for saving us!"

"about this point......"

Yuan Yan looked at the two people who were serious and said to them with a smile.

"There's nothing to thank me for. I just got paid for the work."

"President Ryoma has already paid. I took the money to do the job, that's all. There's no need to thank me so much."

"...You are too modest."

After taking off the plasma shadow show from his waist, Lei Dian Long Ma walked to Yuan Yan's side and handed the sword to Yuan Yan with both hands.

"As agreed, I'm here to return this sword to you."

"Oh, that's good."

After picking up the sword, Yuan Yan immediately put it back into Longma's hands.

"But I don't need this sword anymore."

"you--"

After watching Yuan Yan take out the Seven Thunders of Purification from the storage space, Thunder Dragon Horse looked at the lightning that kept flowing on the Seven Thunders of Purification and said with a wry smile.

"really."

"Compared to the real Key of God, the Plasma Shadow Show is really not good enough."

"So, just keep this knife. I don't need this weapon anymore."

Alas, the deputy leader's attitude...

In the end, from beginning to end, he saved Mei and me, fulfilled the agreement between us, and then... he didn't intend to ask for anything?

He risked his life to help us so much, but we don't even have the ability to repay him...

Although he knew it was not his fault, when he thought about the fact that he could not repay his savior, Lei Dian Longma felt that he was extremely shameful.

"And President Ryoma, and Mei, I don't think you really need to be too moved. After all..."

"What I did was just for myself."

After recalling everything that happened in Changkong City, Yuan Yan put away the Seven Thunders of Purification and his expression became much calmer than before.

But both Ryoma and Mei felt that Yuan Yan's aura was completely different from before.

"Whether it's taking Mei away from Changkong City or seizing the Herrscher of Thunder's core, fundamentally, I just want to survive and gain greater power."

"Take Mei and leave Changkong City. Then, even if Changkong City has become a singularity, this place will not explode so quickly without the detonator."

"And seizing the Herrscher of Thunder's core... Ha, to be honest, even though that thing was a bit violent, it did give me unparalleled power."

Listening to what Yuan Yan said at this moment, Thunder Dragon Horse nodded slightly...

——I didn’t take Yuan Yan’s words to heart at all.

Thanks to Yuan Yan's treatment, his and his daughter's injuries were almost the same.

After he and his daughter woke up, they both knew everything Yuan Yan had done in Changkong City.

After seizing Mei's core, Yuan Yan directly absorbed a large amount of Honkai energy and rushed to Changkong City.

Then he seized the core of another Herrscher and repelled the attacking strongest Valkyrie of Destiny. Finally, he absorbed most of Changkong City's Honkai energy into his body and let the Moonlight Throne bombard his body, thus destroying most of Changkong City's long-accumulated Honkai energy in one go.

Although Changkong City will continue to accumulate Honkai energy due to Cocolia's folly in the coming period, the speed at which Changkong City accumulates Honkai energy has begun to decline sharply due to the two reasons that "the Herrscher has been born" and "the Herrscher's awakening ceremony was interrupted during the birth process."

Although this place has become unsuitable for ordinary people to live in, at least in the following days, Anti-Entropy has enough time to think about remedial measures.

Yuan Yan said that he did it for himself, but the problem is, knowing the performance of the Moonlight Throne, who would go to the Moonlight Throne to shoot themselves "for themselves"?

He is so kind, so kind that... I think this kindness is a little scary.

To save others, even at the cost of one's own life...

No wonder the leader directly promoted him from an ordinary agent to the position of deputy leader.

Looking at the silent Thunder Dragon Horse, Yuan Yan felt a slight discomfort in his arm and continued to speak to the Dragon Horse.

"Instead of those boring thanks, I think now, President Ryoma, you shouldn't continue wasting your time here."

"I'm fine right now, and I don't need your concern at all."

"Instead of wasting my time here, don't you think you should go and take care of Me Company, which is almost bankrupted by Cocolia, [Entrepreneur]?"

"...I understand, Deputy Leader."

Hearing Yuan Yan calling out his code name and giving him orders, Longma responded with a serious expression.

"Then please have a good rest."

"Mei, let's go."

Listening to her father's words, Mei Raiden suddenly shook her head.

"Dad, please leave first, I..."

"——I still have something to say to classmate Yuan Yan."

"...Well, then Dad will go do some work first."

After taking a subtle look at his daughter, the departing Raiden Ryuma had a complicated look in his eyes.

He was an experienced person, so of course he could see what kind of emotions were in his daughter's eyes.

But the problem is, in Lei Dian Long Ma's eyes, Yuan Yan is a good man, a hero, and may even become a savior in the future, but...

——Mei, this kind of person is not a good match.

If his daughter pursues Yuan Yan, then no matter what the future holds, Lei Dian Long Ma will respect her wishes.

But the problem is that Thunder Dragon Horse can see that Yuan Yan's current mental state only looks normal, but in fact something is very wrong.

What's wrong doesn't mean that he is planning to harm others, but that he is too cruel to himself.

This kind of people will rush to the front when the world is in crisis, but the front line of fighting against the collapse is always the most dangerous place.

He didn't want to think about those bad accidents, but if the other party really had an accident one day...

Mei's personality is similar to her mother's. If this really happens, my daughter will cry.

After Longma left, Mei looked at Yuan Yan and walked up to him step by step.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Yuan Yan...

[Wow, here she comes, she's here to collect the debt! ]

Come on, Tong.

I was just trying to show you some respect.

[Your respect is worthless—you'll definitely call me a cookie when we encounter those special mechanics later.]

【Besides, don’t you think you should take corresponding responsibilities? 】

What responsibility?

【Who took her first kiss? 】

It was me... The problem was that the situation was special at that time, so I had to find a way to divert her attention before I took action!

This is the anesthetic injection before the operation!

[Who stabbed directly into the girl's body and took away her important things? ]

If possible, I would like you to not make the core extraction surgery sound so misleading.

[Who caused all the blood to come out during the intense action? ]

[Who created so much water in the next action? ]

【Who made her faint from happiness in the end? 】

[Who is it? Who is it! You are the cause of all this, Yuan Yan!]

Those words of yours would destroy the world somewhere, bro.

"Student Yuan Yan."

Looking at the young man in front of her, Mei wanted to say those words, but in the end she couldn't open her mouth.

She wanted to speak her mind directly, but...

Am I really worthy of him now?

Whenever Mei thinks of this question, she immediately comes to a negative conclusion.

If it were Mei in the past, she might have felt that as the daughter of the president of Me Company, she should have enough ability and social status to pursue her own happiness.

But the problem is that although her father has good intentions, he has indeed done bad things.

and......

Yuan Yan was her savior, and in terms of status, he also became her father's boss.

In this situation, how could Mei, who had almost nothing except her family, have the nerve to say those words?

I'm not worthy of him...

At least now, he and I are almost from different worlds.

Therefore, because of this, I don’t want to continue to be helplessly at the mercy of others as I did in the past.

"I really appreciate everything you've done for me—"

"Stop repeating such annoying words."

Listening to Mei's thanks, Yuan Yan said a little helplessly.

"It's over now. You... should return to your daily life."

"Back to daily life...?"

After repeating what Yuan Yan said, Mei smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"But now, I'm back, what can I do?"

"In the past, I could say, 'Dad must have been wronged,' but now... even though I know Dad meant well, he did make a mistake."

"In this case, my classmates' comments about me...are no longer a problem."

"Besides, Cocolia is still hiding in the dark. If I go back, I might be captured by Cocolia and become Dad's weak spot."

"Ha, that woman..."

Thinking about what Cocolia had done in the past, Yuan Yan sighed helplessly.

“She’s really capable of doing these things.”
