Collapse: The World I Live In

"Are you ready?" Mobius said to the three people lying in the incubator, "I'll repeat the mission requirements again. Try to delay the Herrscher as much as possible. After all, among the Fire Moths, only you three can delay the Herrscher..."

The three of them made an OK gesture at the same time, indicating that Mebius could begin.

"Then... dive in and start." As Mebius' voice fell, the three people's consciousness began to dive in and they slowly closed their eyes.

"Mobius, will it be okay relying on just the three of them?" Alicia asked worriedly.

"Alishia... we have no choice... There are only three of them who can resist the Herrscher. Otherwise, the result will be a battle royale between the Fire Moth Combat Team and the Herrscher..." said Mebius.

"Okay..." Alicia clasped her hands together and prayed for the three of them.

……

When Yi opened his eyes again, he saw a city instead of the lake. Aponia and Destobia, who had traveled with him, were no longer with him.

"What's going on..." Yi looked at the surrounding environment, a lifeless city, and the gusts of cold wind made Yi feel uncomfortable.

"We have to find Aponia and the others as soon as possible." After saying that, Yi sensed the positions of the two in his mind. Before sneaking in, Aponia marked the three of them. Even if they were separated after sneaking in, they could sense each other's positions. Realizing that Desdobia was closer to him, he prepared to meet up with Desdobia first.

At the same time, a voice came to Desdobia who had just adapted to the environment here, "What a forgetful little mouse... I don't know how many little mice like you I have killed, but you are the first one to come to this place..."

Desdobia slowly turned her head and looked at the gray figure sitting on the roof of a building, one leg crossed and the other dangling in the air, with an unruly smile on his face.

“What’s going on… My luck can’t be that bad…” Desdobia recognized the figure. It was the Herrscher that Yi had mentioned before.

"Little bugs like you are so annoying..." The Herrscher yawned and summoned several swords out of thin air, shooting them towards Desdobia.

Desdobia quickly used telekinesis to pull over a boulder to block the Herrscher's attack.

"Wow, interesting." The Herrscher grinned, then stood up, stretched, and said, "I'll play with you." After that, he jumped down from the tall building and landed on the ground like a superhero.

Desdobia quickly looked for a cover to hide and try to delay time. She was not arrogant enough to fight against the Herrscher alone.

“Hey, hey, hey? Do you want to play hide-and-seek? Then I’ll play with you~” The Herrscher’s voice came, and Desdobia didn’t dare to move at all. Is this the Herrscher’s sense of oppression...

"It's here, right!" After saying that, the Herrscher conjured up a spear and inserted it straight into the opposite wall. On the other side of the wall was hiding Desdobia. The spear that penetrated the wall was only a few centimeters away from Desdobia. Desdobia covered her mouth and dared not make a sound.

"Did you guess wrong? Never mind." The Herrscher, who did not hear the sound, drew out her spear and prepared to leave, but when she left, the corners of her mouth suddenly rose slightly.

After not hearing the Herrscher's voice, Desdobia planned to stick her head out to see where the Herrscher was, but what appeared in front of Desdobia was the Herrscher's creepy smiling face. Frightened, Desdobia quickly retreated behind her.

"Found you~" said the Herrscher.

Desdobia hurriedly ran to another place, controlling the rocks to block the road behind her.

But the Herrscher is not so easy to deal with. Seeing the sword blade gradually getting bigger in front of her while running, Desdobia quickly slid under the sword and controlled the small stones on the ground with telekinesis to accelerate and hit the Herrscher. However, these stones were useless in front of the Herrscher. As soon as they reached the Herrscher, they stopped in the air and finally fell to the ground. After all, in the world of consciousness, she was invincible.

"Damn it..." Desdobia saw that her attack was useless and didn't know what to do.

However, in an instant, the Herrscher appeared in front of Desdobia. Seeing the Herrscher coming in front of her, Desdobia gritted her teeth and punched the Herrscher, but it was useless. The Herrscher dodged and then grabbed Desdobia's neck with one hand and lifted her up.

"How boring~ You are much weaker than the previous person... I'm tired of you, so please die." The Herrscher said indifferently.

"Uh..." Desdobia, whose neck was strangled, could not make any sound. She could only punch the Herrscher's arm with her fists, but Desdobia was so weak due to lack of oxygen.

"Am I going to die... I'm sorry... Kosmo... I can't... continue to accompany you..." Desdobia thought as her vision gradually blurred.

At this moment, a yellow lightning shot towards the Herrscher. In order to avoid the lightning, the Herrscher let go of Desdobia. Then another figure came to Desdobia and took her away from the Herrscher.

"Sorry, we are late." It was Yi who took Desdobia away, and it was Aponia who emitted the yellow lightning. The two of them met on the road and rushed here together.

"It's okay..." Desdobia said quickly, panting.

"Are you okay?" Aponiya said as he descended from the sky.

"You take a rest first, and leave the rest to me and Aponia." Yi said to Desdobia.

"Hey! Why are you here again!" The Herrscher said to Yi, "Are you annoying? There are so many people in my consciousness space recently. I think it's you who did it!"

"That's not what I said...humans are very smart." Yi replied.

"Damn it! Don't even think about running away this time!" The Herrscher said and attacked the two of them.

……

At the same time, in the Fire Moth Conference Room,

"Dr. Mei, a Honkai beast suddenly appeared in North America. Its level is... Judgment level..." a researcher said, "Could the Herrscher be there too?"

"No... This is a trick. Has the Herrscher become smarter? She realized that we have sent people to infiltrate the illusion she created and made this decision to attract our attention." Mei thought for a while and said, "But we can't just leave it alone..."

"Do you want me to go, mei?" Kevin asked.

"No, you will have to fight against the Herrscher then." Mei directly rejected Kevin's words, "Who is the nearest unit to there?"

After the researcher finished checking, he stammered, "It's the Poison Pupa's people..."

"Who? Sakura?" Mei asked.

"No, Miss Sakura is on vacation... The one in North America is the man named Qianjie... They just completed a mission there and haven't set off to return yet..." said the researcher.

……

"Qianjie, do you have a mission?" A man came to Qianjie and said to Qianjie who was lying on the sofa.

"? What mission? Wasn't it just completed, Imer?" Qianjie asked while lying on the sofa.

"New mission, defeat the Eighth Herrscher's companion Honkai beast - [Moyuli], which is at the Judgment level." Imer said.

"Really? Then let's go... and call that blind man along!" Qianjie stood up and stretched his muscles and said.

"...He's not blind..." Yimer complained helplessly. After all, he just doesn't like to open his eyes. "Do we need to contact Miss Ying?"

"That woman? No need. It's just a Judgment-level Honkai beast. I can kill it in minutes." Qianjie said confidently, and then he stood up and prepared to leave.

Imer had no choice. As Qianjie's adjutant, he knew this man well. He possessed power that rivaled that of a fusion warrior. He was confident in his own ability. He sighed and followed suit.

……

In a city in North America, a peacock-like Honkai beast with golden feathers and long green tail feathers was wreaking havoc in the city. Its long green tail feathers brushed over people's heads, and those people fell to the ground as if they had lost their souls.

"Is this the Judgment-level Honkai Beast? Isn't it just a peacock?" Qianjie said.

"You still have to be careful. After all, it's a Judgment-level Honkai beast, and it's not easy to deal with." A "beauty" with long gray hair, beautiful looks, and squinting eyes said. This person is Kevin's good friend - Su.

"I know, I know, stop nagging." Qianjie said without getting tired of it.

"Then I'll leave this Honkai beast to you, Qianjie. Su and I will go to disperse the people." Imer said, and then he and Su left, leaving Qianjie alone on the roof.

"Hmph! Prepare to die, you beast!" Qianjie half-bent his body, gathering power in his right fist, which emitted a blazing flame. Then, Qianjie stepped on the ground and flew straight out from the tall building, punching the Honkai Beast in the face and knocking it away.

"Don't die like this! Let me have more fun!" After saying that, amazing flames emerged from Qianjie's body, and scorching heat waves spread in all directions.

Imer, who felt the building shaking, couldn't help but say, "I hope he's okay..."
