Collapse: The World I Live In

"All departments, get ready. The second Honkai Herrscher subjugation campaign begins now. This time our goal is not to kill the Herrscher, but to get the man next to me to the Herrscher. Do you understand?" Himeko said to the gathered fighters.

"Understood!" Everyone answered in unison.

"Well, let the battle begin!" Himeko shouted.

"Yes!"

……

On the helicopter, Yi looked at the group of helicopters around him providing cover for him, and a wonderful feeling came over him.

"How do you feel?" Himeko came to Yi's side and asked.

"It's an indescribable feeling, very wonderful." Yi replied, "So many people, without asking the reason, just trust me and cover for me, it's really..." Yi couldn't describe the feeling.

"Okay, don't be nervous. Whether you can win this battle depends entirely on you." Himeko patted Yi's back and said, "Take these flares. Red means failure, and green means success. If you succeed, Alicia will give the Herrscher of the Sky a fatal blow from below. If you fail, don't be afraid. Hen will do his best to protect you."

"I got it. It will succeed. Definitely." Yi held the flare tightly and assured Himeko.

"Then it's up to you, come on." Himeko encouraged.

……

"Captain, we have entered the attack range of the Herrscher. Should we launch an attack?" the team member reported to Himeko.

Himeko took a deep breath and said, "Ready, attack!"

In a split second, countless bullets and artillery fire were fired at the Herrscher. Himeko immediately turned around and said, "We have left a path for you. When the time comes, you will jump down from this path and rush towards the Herrscher. During this time, don't worry, the artillery fire will not hurt you. Just rush forward, and leave everything else to us."

"I understand." Yi replied.

"Captain, we have reached the designated altitude." The pilot said to Himeko.

"Okay, hero, it's your turn to go." Himeko patted Yi's shoulder and said to him.

Yi nodded, looked deeply at Himeko, and rushed out of the helicopter.

The wind blew wildly on Yi's face, and a stinging sensation surged up on his face. The wind made it difficult for Yi to open his eyes, and Yi felt that it was a little difficult to breathe. But at this moment, Yi felt that the time around him slowed down. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. Helicopters were firing bullets at the Herrscher like they were free, but none of them did any harm to the Herrscher. Instead, the Herrscher shot out a strange spear that pierced the planes one by one, and he watched the helicopters explode one by one.

Looking at this scene, a strange feeling came over him, and now Yi just wanted to get to the Herrscher as soon as possible.

It’s getting closer, closer, and it’s almost there! Yi immediately ignored the wind and the two magatama spun wildly in his eyes.

It's here! It's now! The moment of victory has arrived. A stream of blood flowed out from Yi's eyes and floated into the sky, and Yi's eyes also evolved from two magatama to three magatama.

They looked at each other! Yi stared into the eyes of the Herrer, and the Herrer also looked at Yi.

Illusion, activate!

At this moment, the Herrscher stopped her attack and her eyes became dull.

Success! Looking at the Herrscher's expression, Yi knew that he had succeeded, and he immediately took out the green flare and fired it.

As the green flare was launched, Himeko saw the color and immediately yelled to Alicia through the communicator, "Alica! Now! Yi, it's successful!"

Alicia had already drawn the bow and said with a smile, "I'm ready. Come on, you must accept this arrow that is full of love from a beautiful girl, [Oath of Wind and Moon]!" The pink arrow rushed towards the Herrscher at an extremely fast speed.

Unlike the results of usual artillery shells, this attack was not led to other dimensions by the Herrscher of the Void, but went straight through the Herrscher's body.

As the Herrscher fell from the sky, the warriors present cheered, "We won! We won!"

Himeko also laughed, "Hahahaha! I won! I really won!"

Whether it was Hen, Alicia on the ground, Himeko on the helicopter, or Yi who was still falling in the air, they all smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

Yi in the air felt that he had never felt so comfortable, but at this moment, the time around him seemed to have stopped. Yi saw that figure, who was sitting in the air, with his legs crossed, smiling and saying, "Very brave, young man." Yi was about to say something when he saw the voice, but the woman disappeared in an instant. What was she doing here, Yi couldn't help but wonder. But Yi couldn't think so much at this time. He had to figure out how to land safely. Yi immediately turned around and headed towards the ground. Just as he was about to reach the ground, Yi stretched out his right hand and held his right hand with his left hand. Green and blue lines spread to Yi's entire right hand. A voice sounded in his mind, and Yi followed the voice and said, "I am the bone of my sword (天成身为剑所天成)

Law Aias (Sevenfold Rings of Blazing Heaven)!"

A pink flower appeared in front of Yi's eyes, blocking the damage from falling to him.

After landing, Yi covered his eyes. He saw a man in red clothes and white hair standing on a barren hill, and a bunch of gears were turning in the sky.

"Hey, Yi!" Hen's voice pulled Yi back. Yi didn't care about these things and just thought they were his own hallucinations.

……

It wasn't just the fighters in Siberia who were cheering, the Fire Moths themselves were cheering as well.

"We've got it done! We've gotten rid of the Herrscher! We've once again survived the collapse."

"He won, he did it." Mebius laughed from the bottom of his heart and hugged Blanca, who also smiled with tears in her eyes.

Although, some were cheering for the victory, others didn’t care.

……

"Hollow? Nothing special. But those eyes are really fascinating." The man looked at the photo of Yi captured on the screen. He touched those eyes with his hand and said to the person behind him, "Give me his information."

This man is called Erken, one of the top leaders of the Fire Moth. Unlike the other top leaders who only care about their own interests, his goal is to fight against the Honkai. No matter what means he uses, no matter what the price he pays, as long as humans can take a step further on the road to fighting the Honkai, then everything will be worth it...

……

As for Yi, he had no idea how much danger this outstanding performance would bring him. This was also the first time that Future Yi witnessed the greed of human nature.

……

"Well done! Yi." Hen rushed over and hugged Yi, "You've really made a splash this time. You'll be very famous in the Fire Moth from now on."

"It hurts, it hurts, go slower." Yi was in pain all over now. The feeling of falling from a thousand meters high was not very pleasant. Moreover, there were some bloodstains on Yi's eyes, which had dried on his face when he fell.

"Okay, okay, Hen, don't you see that Yi is still injured?" Alicia came over and said to Hen, then turned around and said to Yi, "Not bad for your performance, extra points!"

At this time, Himeko also returned to land, came over and patted Yi on the back, and said with a smile, "Well done, kid. I have a new respect for you. Are you interested in communicating with me more?"

"Stop teasing me, Himeko." Yi said, scratching his head in embarrassment.

The four of them looked at each other and laughed.

The Second Collapse ended with humanity winning at a minimal cost...
