Collapse: The World I Live In

"Attention all units, attention all units, the concentration of Honkai energy in the Siberian region has reached 1000HW and is still rising. A life form suspected to be called Herrscher will be born in this great Honkai. All combat units please be prepared to defeat Herrscher." As the alarm sounded, the second Honkai arrived in the Siberian region.

……

"It's only been a year since the first Collapse, how come the second Collapse happened so quickly?" Yi looked at the image of Siberia projected by the satellite. On the white plains of Siberia, groups of Collapse beasts appeared, and above them was a white-haired woman.

"It's nothing. Look, we got through the first Collapse easily. It will be the same this time." Similar voices were heard around Yi. Yi looked at the group of people who were still talking and laughing, not knowing what to say. "Tsk, so ignorant." Mobius beside him said. She looked at the situation on the screen and felt sad about people's ignorance. The Herrscher would not be so easy to deal with.

At this time, several traces passed through the sky of Siberia. These were missiles launched by the Fire Moths. They believed that the result this time would be the same as that of the First Herrscher, dying under the bombing of missiles. However, this was not the case. When the missiles gradually approached the Herrscher and were about to explode, several doors suddenly appeared around the Herrscher. The missiles were thrown into them, and there was no trace of any ripples. The people of the Fire Moths watched this situation in silence.

Alicia and Hen, who were watching the Herrscher from the sky above Siberia, had no idea what was going on.

"Where is the missile? Why did it disappear?" Hen asked as he looked at the intact Herrscher.

"It's probably the ability of this Herrscher." Alicia said as she looked at the white-haired girl above the group of Honkai beasts below. Alicia looked at the Herrscher with a complicated expression, and at this time the Herrscher also raised his head and looked at Alicia.

……

"Where are the missiles? Notify all units to launch them again." The top leaders of Fire Moth hurriedly told the people around them.

"Doctor, what do you think?" Yi asked.

"I'll stand and watch, whatever I want to watch," Mebius said indifferently.

"Doctor, I'm not kidding." Yi said speechlessly (?_?)

"Instead of asking me, you might as well use your own eyes to see what is happening," said Mebius.

"...That's right," Yi said, opening his Sharingan and looking at the screen.

……

"Alishia, don't go over there yet. The headquarters will launch missiles again." Hen said to Alishia who was eager to try.

"I know, I know. Such a lovely girl is actually a Herrscher. It's really..." Alicia fell silent after talking for a while. Hen didn't care, because everyone knew that Alicia liked beautiful girls. This time, he thought it was Alicia's fault and it was a pity that such a lovely girl had to lose her life.

"Okay, Alicia, it's our turn to take action after this missile passes." Hen said seriously, without the joking tone he had when they were together before. Except for the embarrassing Herrscher who was killed by a missile during the first Honkai, this was the first time Hen faced a Herrscher, and he felt oppressive just by watching from a distance.

Alicia, Hen and other members of the combat team looked at the missile in the sky that was about to approach the Herrscher, and suddenly disappeared in the sky without a ripple.

……

Return to the Firemoth Headquarters.

"How is it, Yi, did you see it clearly?" Mebius asked Yi next to him.

"Well, I saw it clearly." Yi nodded and said to Mobius, "When the missile approached the Herrscher, a door appeared around the Herrscher, and the missile rushed into this door and disappeared silently. If my guess is correct, this door is connected to other spaces, and the missile exploded in that space after entering. Of course, it has no effect on the space we are in. This Herrscher is most likely related to space. Now the Fire Moth is in big trouble. Hurry up and notify Alicia and tell them about the Herrscher! This Herrscher is not as embarrassing as the First Herrscher." Yi said to Mobius immediately, and things were getting serious.

……

"Hello, dear Mebius, what's the matter with you? I'm in a bit of trouble here right now." Alicia said as she killed the Honkai beasts around her.

"Alishia, to make a long story short, this time the Herrscher's ability is related to space. Fire Moth named her the Herrscher of the Sky. Fire Moth's missiles can no longer cause any damage to her. So, you can only rely on yourselves this time. Come back alive, Alishia." Mobius said seriously.

"Really? Don't worry, Mobius, I will come back. After all, there are beautiful girls waiting for me." Alicia hung up the call with Mobius and took a deep breath. "This is a bit troublesome."

……

"What? You're going to the front line? What's wrong with you?" Back in the lab, there were only Yi and Mobius. Mobius looked at Yi in shock. She couldn't understand what was going on in his brain. Did he think that he would be invincible just because he defeated Alicia who had let him win?

"Doctor, listen to me, now the missiles and long-range weapons of the Fire Moths are useless against the Herrscher of the Void. The only way to get rid of the Herrscher of the Void now is close combat, but I don't know how many lives will be lost. But it will be different if I go there. With my eyes, if I can give the Herrscher of the Void an illusion, even if it's just a small hint, it may be possible to kill the Herrscher of the Void with a long-range attack. Doctor, this is a chance to minimize the losses of the Fire Moths. It's worth a try." Yi looked at Mobius firmly and said that he had to go, whether for humanity or simply to save the majority of lives.

"But have you ever thought about yourself! Have you considered the consequences of getting close to the Herrscher? You will most likely die. Have you thought about what will happen to your mother and sister after you die? Do you think you are so great just because you used tricks to defeat Alicia? Who do you think you are?" Mobius pushed Yi into the corner and grabbed Yi's collar with both hands. With tears in his eyes, he roared at Yi.

"Doctor, I know that Alicia went easy on me, but the others went to the front because of an order. Hen went, Alicia went, and no one resisted. Didn't they know that they might die if they went? He went to the battlefield because of an order, why can't I! Don't they have family or friends? There is obviously a way to save most lives, why don't I do it!" Yi pulled Mobius' hand away and said. This was the first time he and Mobius had quarreled since they knew each other. Didn't Mobius understand this? No, of course she knew that the method Yi said was right and could allow most people to survive this disaster, but, but, in her heart she didn't want Yi to go to the front, didn't want to see Yi face life-threatening danger, and she didn't understand what was going on.

"Doctor, I'm leaving." After saying that, Yi passed Mobius and prepared to go to the front line.

"Hey, come back alive." Mebius said suddenly.

After hearing Mobius' voice, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't die, Doctor. I will live to cure my mother's illness." After that, he left Mobius alone in the laboratory.
