Collapse: The World I Live In

"I'm glad you're all okay..." Yi contacted Eden as soon as he withdrew from the barrier to confirm Eden's safety. Fortunately, Eden had already evacuated from the barrier.

"Yi...mainly Ailian...she..." Eden said. After all, Ailian was still in that city.

"...I'll go check it out when the time comes..." Yi sighed. He had no other options. You never know when an accident might happen. "Okay...let's do this for now...Mei and the others are still in a meeting...making plans for the next battle..."

Afterwards, Yi walked into the conference room and looked at the scattered people there, all of whom were familiar faces.

"Where are the captains of the Fire Moths?" Yi asked when he saw the situation.

"..." After a moment of silence, Yi guessed that those people were not so lucky and stayed in the barrier forever.

"You should all know... this Herrscher is different from the previous ones... you can say that this Herrscher was created to target Fusion Warriors... any weapon related to Honkai energy will be ineffective inside the barrier... any weapon using electronic systems will be ineffective... even nuclear bombs are no exception..." Mei briefly explained the abilities of this Herrscher, "even Qianjie almost died in the barrier, and is now undergoing a super transformation surgery... As for Weiwei... since she woke up, she has once again headed for the edge of the barrier, and no one can stop her."

"So what should we do this time? Use those old weapons?" Yi asked.

"Even worse... We don't even have those old weapons. Because of the advancement of Honkai energy weapons, those old weapons have long been discontinued..." Mei shook her head and said.

"Then what should we do..." Yi asked.

"I can only think of one way now..." Mei said slowly, "Use people to pile up... use human lives to create... a flaw in the Herrscher..."

"...You mean to let those fusion warriors die!" Yi slammed the table angrily and said to Mei, this decision completely ruined the future of those fusion warriors!

"Calm down, Yi..." Kevin said as he held Yi down.

"Do you have any other solution?" Mei looked at Yi and asked, "This world is cruel... Dreams, hopes, and futures are all fragile in the face of collapse. So in order to defeat collapse, I can even give up my humanity!"

"..." Yi clenched his fists. He had nothing to say. Mei was right.

"A person who cannot give up anything cannot change anything. Between the two options of survival and destruction, you should know how we should choose." Mei looked at Yi and said.

"Then how are you going to convince those soldiers to die..." Yi looked at Mei and asked.

"..." Mei was silent, but she didn't believe that tens of thousands of fusion warriors would sacrifice their lives just based on her words and the decisions of those high-level officials. This was simply unrealistic.

"...Leave this to me..." Yi said at this time.

"...Actually, there's no need for Yi..." Kevin stopped him. Since it was Mei's decision, he should be the one to make it.

"Kevin... you are the strongest... only you can guarantee to kill the Herrscher with one strike... I can't do that..." Yi stared into Kevin's eyes and said, "I will take those soldiers to hell... and Kevin... you will give the Herrscher the final blow..."

Looking at Yi's eyes that had lost their luster, Kevin swallowed the words in his mouth and just watched Yi walk out of the meeting room quietly.

"Mei..." Kevin looked at Mei and clenched his fists. This feeling of powerlessness made Kevin very uncomfortable.

"Since he said so... let's leave it to Yi..." Mei sighed and said, if it wasn't absolutely necessary, she didn't want to give such an order...

……

Yi first returned home and prepared to say goodbye to Yiden...

"You...what's wrong with you?" Eden asked Yi, who seemed to be acting strangely.

Dan Yi said nothing, just hugged Eden tightly and said, "Eden... I love you..."

"What happened?" Eden said, sensing something was wrong.

Yi told Eden the next battle plan.

"So..." Eden said, looking at Yi with wide eyes.

"That's right... You might really die this time..." Yi said slowly, "But this battle plan... Eden, you can't participate..."

"...I know..." Eden lowered her head and clenched her fists. She knew why Yi didn't let her participate. It was not only because of Yi's selfishness, but also because of Eden herself. They also had a child. If both of them died, what would happen to the child?

"Then I'll go find Aponya first... I need her help with this matter..." Yi said as he stood up.

"...Come back alive..." Eden said as he looked at Yi who was leaving, tears sliding down from the corners of his eyes, which was particularly heartbreaking.

"I... will try my best..." Yi replied. This mission was more dangerous than any previous one and he had no confidence that he could survive.

……

Coming to Weiwei's side, Weiwei looked at the line motionlessly.

"What it means is... once you cross this line, you will enter the territory of the Ruler of Constraint." The expert's voice sounded in Weiwei's mind.

Death, a concept that cannot be seen or heard, was once imagined as thick black smoke or an ultimatum from a god's messenger.

But at this moment, it is just a line, nothing more, but the fear it brings to people has not diminished in the slightest.

"It seems... to what extent can this barrier affect a fusion warrior?" The expert spoke again, "It would be better to try it yourself when you are awake."

Without any protective measures, Weiwei just raised her hand and crossed the forbidden line that separated life and death.

"...Huh..." Then Wei Wei began to pant and chuckled, "Ha...that's all..."

"After all... I am Wei Erwei... a genius. As long as I am willing, the achievements I can make... are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine." Wei Erwei said with a smile on her face.

Finally, she completely crossed the line, completely immersed her entire body in the kingdom covered by the shadow of death, and then immediately fell down.

"Oh... Ah!... Ah!..." In an instant, the pain that penetrated her skin and bones and could no longer be ignored made Weiwei scream.

But as time passed, Vilvi did not show signs of gradual weakening of life like ordinary soldiers, but instead laughed.

"Hahahaha...hahaha..." But this laughter did not sound like it came from one person. Instead, it was like different personalities appearing at the same time, all together mocking something funny. The longer the time, the more personalities that appeared.

"So that's how it is... As expected, I was right..." The expert's voice sounded, "Even if it is a constraint... there is still a limit..."

The deepest place,

At this moment, Yi also found Aponia,

"Aponia... I need your help..." Yi said as he looked at Aponia who was praying in the moonlight.

"Finally... has it come to this time..." Aponiya seemed to have expected Yi's arrival...

At this point, the battle of restraint has begun...
