Collapse: The World I Live In

"That's great, Yi, you finally woke up!" Alicia hugged Yi in her arms and said without saying a word.

"Wow, wow, wow..." He was caught off guard by the sudden hug and made unclear sounds.

"Okay, Alicia, don't be so excited." Mobius pulled Alicia off Yi and said to Yi, "So, when you were unconscious, what did you see?"

"A fantasy... a fantasy that makes people fascinated, nostalgic, and unwilling to leave, and is full of beauty." Yi answered Mebius' question.

"Then how did you wake up? Just relying on Aponia's reminder wouldn't be enough, right?" Mebius asked.

"Although Aponia's reminder is very useful to me, Mobius, don't forget that I am not an ordinary person." As he said that, Yi revealed his scarlet eyes and looked at Mobius.

"That's right, you're not a pushover either..." Mebius looked at those eyes and chuckled, "What about Eden next to her? Do you have any way to wake her up? Aponia also tried it on Eden before, but this time, probably because of your previous experience, she bounced out before she could even contact Eden."

"I'll try." Yi said to Mebius, stood up and walked to Eden's side, held Eden's hand with one hand, stared at Eden, and slowly transferred his consciousness into Eden's mind.

……

"Wow? Is there anyone else who dares to break in?" The gray-haired woman couldn't help but laugh. This woman was the instigator of this collapse, the eighth Herrscher - the Herrscher of Consciousness. "Let me see who is so stupid as to dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Herrscher of Consciousness!" After saying that, she waved her hand in the air, and a red door appeared in front of the Herrscher, and the Herrscher walked into this door.

"This... is not the illusion of Eden..." Yi looked at the surrounding environment with a frown. He was standing on a sky-blue lake with no end in sight. This reminded him of that woman - Honkai!

"Hey... look who is this? I let you go, but you ran back? Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?" A voice came from behind Yi. It was the Herrer. Yi's escape was also under her watch, but the Herrer did not stop him. After all, who would watch the ant under their feet? But whether Yi was an ant or not was another matter...

"Who are you?" Yi looked at the woman in front of him cautiously. This girl gave Yi a sense of danger.

"Who am I? I am the God of Honkai! The Herrscher of Consciousness!" The Herrscher said to Yi with a wild smile.

Hearing the word "Herrserker", Yi immediately took action. Without any hesitation, he projected a black longbow with a sword on it and shot it towards the Herrserker. The power it carried was so great that it created waves.

"This is the world of consciousness, and I am the Herrscher of Consciousness. Don't even think about hurting me here." After saying that, the Herrscher snapped his fingers, and the sword that was about to reach the Herrscher disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never appeared, and the waves that were stirred up also calmed down at this moment, without a trace of movement.

Then, the Herrscher stretched out his finger towards Yi and gestured in the air for a while. Suddenly, Yi felt that he could not stand and fell into the water. The surrounding water seemed to come alive and turned into giant hands, grabbing Yi, and finally turned into a water ball floating in the air and wrapping Yi inside.

"Enjoy this last moment...bug..." The Herrscher sat on a chair made of water. This was the world of consciousness. The Herrscher could do whatever she wanted. At this moment, she was just sitting here, appreciating Yi's death. After all, the death of consciousness meant the death of the body in reality...

"Damn it..." Yi wanted to break out of the water, but there was no way. His limbs gradually began to feel weak, and his eyesight gradually became unfocused. Oxygen is necessary for human survival, but there is no oxygen in the water that humans can use. So if he doesn't find a way, there is only one result waiting for Yi - death!

"No! I can't fall down here!" Yi mobilized the Honkai energy in his body, "I promised my mother to move forward, promised Mebius to accompany her to witness the evolution of mankind, promised Long not to go down to accompany her so early... and promised Eden to protect her well. So! How can I fall down here!" Suddenly, an orange-red sword light cut off the water ball that wrapped Yi, splashing water. Yi came back to life, gasping for breath, and an orange-red skeleton surrounded Yi. Just now, Yi mobilized the Honkai energy in his body, summoned Susanoo, and rescued himself.

clap clap clap!

"Wow~ Not bad? You're quite capable." The Herrscher couldn't help but applaud as he watched Yi break free.

Water droplets dripped from Yi's hair. Being soaked in water did not affect his handsomeness at all. His red eyes stared at the Herrscher, and his eyes were no longer ordinary three-magatama Sharingan, but turned into a Mangekyō.

"These eyes... are very ominous..." said the Herrscher, looking at the pair of red eyes.

At this moment, the patterns in Yi's eyes began to rotate, blood overflowed from Yi's eyes, and the surrounding environment began to change. The blue sky turned scarlet, crows flew by from time to time, and a blood moon appeared in the sky, reflected in the sky.

"You're not the only one with mental strengths..." Yi said in an extremely cold tone.

"Huh? This ability is pretty good~" Out of confidence in her own abilities, the Herrscher did not panic at all because of the change in environment, but the next moment, her figure was tied to a cross.

"The last time I used this was on Qianjie..." Yi muttered, but his hands were not slow. Yi disappeared from the spot, and at the same time, several identical figures appeared near the cross where the Herrscher was tied. They looked at the Herrscher and said, "In the next 72 hours, you will be pierced by this dagger."

“Oh~ I’m so scared~” The Herrscher showed a frightened expression, but her poor acting skills were obvious to anyone. She pulled with both hands, and the chains tied to her hands broke apart. In Yi’s surprised eyes, she jumped down from the cross, rubbed her shoulders, stretched her waist, and said to Yi, “Is this the extent of your ability? Then it’s my turn next!”

The Herrscher instantly appeared in front of Yi, with one hand ready to put on Yi's head. Yi sensed the danger and quickly dodged. At this moment, Yi also understood that his illusion was useless against this Herrscher, but Yi also understood that this Herrscher was only good at mental attacks, and she must be very weak in reality. The only way to defeat her was to find her real body and destroy it.

Yi was also ready to leave at this moment. There was no point in getting entangled with her here.

"Don't waste your energy. Don't even think about escaping. This place has been reinforced by me. It's hard to break in with your mental strength alone." The Herrscher said to Yi who was trying to leave.

"Who said I'm alone?" Yi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words of the Herrscher. It seemed that the Herrscher still looked down on Yi and did not consider that the person who had broken into her consciousness before was actually by Yi's side.

"Now! Aponia." Yi shouted loudly. At this moment, the space behind Yi shattered and formed a crack.

"What?" The Herrscher wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

A giant golden hand stretched out from the crack. Yi stood on the giant hand and left the space. Before leaving, he threatened the Herrscher, "The next time we meet... it will be the day of your death... Herrscher!"

"Damn it! You deserve to die! You really deserve to die!" The Herrscher was left alone in this space of consciousness, helpless and furious.

Back to reality, Yizhen opened his eyes, and what came into view was the exquisite face of Abonya, who was head to head with him. The faint dark circles under her eyes and the hint of melancholy in her eyes added a sense of beauty to Abonya, which made Yi stunned for a moment.

"Yi? Are you okay?" Abonya was relieved to see Yi wake up, but then she saw a streak of blood flowing from the corner of Yi's eye, and couldn't help but worry.

"Me?" Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his eyes and said to Abonya, "It's okay, I'm fine. Thank you, Abonya. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to get out... No, I would be dead."

"It's okay. The fact that you're okay is the greatest thank you to me." Seeing that Yi was fine, the corners of Abonya's mouth rose slightly.

"How is it?" asked Mebius.

"I met the Herrscher..." Yi sighed and told everyone about his encounter with the Herrscher. "My illusions are ineffective against her. In the space of consciousness, she is almost invincible."

"This is troublesome, because there are nearly a million people in the world who have fallen into a coma. The Fire Moth has been planning to send people to sneak into the consciousness of those unconscious people. Now it seems that this is not feasible..." Mobius said, "We can only find a way to find the place where the Herrscher exists in reality, but... this time the Herrscher appeared without the Great Honkai Impact... This is very troublesome."
