Collapse: The World I Live In

The next day, all the Fire Moth warriors were gathered together.

"What is this for?"

"I heard that the Great Honkai broke out again... and a new Herrscher appeared..."

"So what? We have defeated so many Herrschers! But why are all the troops here this time? Something doesn't feel right..."

"Let's see what the captain says first..."

At this moment, the crowd included not only these soldiers, but also Kosmo, Desdobia, Sakura, and Hua, who had become a fusion warrior like Qianjie.

At this moment, Yi slowly walked towards the podium, and the surroundings instantly became quiet. This distance was very short, but Yi felt it was very long and extremely heavy.

Finally, Yi stood on the podium. He looked calmly at the fusion warriors below the stage, and then spoke.

"This Herrscher is different from the previous ones... It is specially created for fusion warriors. Fusion warriors will gradually lose their lives inside its barrier... and the Herrscher is also gradually moving towards us... We will use our lives to create a chance for Kevin to kill with one blow!" Yi looked at the people in the audience and said, "So... we can't retreat! Prepare the equipment immediately! Get on the transport plane!" Because all the Honkai energy equipment was unusable, Mei got a few fuel transport planes and many flares from a senior executive who liked to collect antiques.

After Yi finished speaking, the audience immediately became excited.

"Are we... going to... die?" asked a fusion warrior. When he asked this question, everyone swallowed and broke out in cold sweat. He asked everyone's questions.

"That's right..." Yi answered him calmly.

"Anyway... we're all going to die... wouldn't it be better to die in battle?" The soldier said tremblingly, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Yes..." Yi looked at him and said.

"But... we are all going to die anyway... whether we die in battle... or die by disobeying orders... there is no meaning..." the soldier looked up at Yi and said.

"You're right..." Yi said without any expression on his face, "It's all meaningless."

Yi's words surprised everyone.

"No matter what your reasons for becoming a fusion warrior are, no matter what dreams and hopes you have... no matter how happy a life you lead... it's no different from being killed by the Herrscher, the ending is death..." Yi said very calmly. After he said this, some fusion warriors were so scared that they knelt on the ground, at a loss. Even Kevin and Mei didn't understand the purpose of Yi's behavior of undermining the morale of the troops.

"Then does life have no meaning?" Yi said, looking at the fusion warriors in the audience, "Or, is our birth meaningless? Are those companions who died also meaningless?"

At this moment, everyone felt that their dead companions were standing behind Yi.

"Were the sacrifices of those soldiers also meaningless?" Yi said this and paused. Everyone was waiting for his next words.

"No! That's not right!" At this moment, Yi changed his previous calmness and shouted to everyone, "The meaning of those warriors will be given by us!"

"Those brave dead, those tragic dead, the reason we can think this way is because we are the living!"

"Today! We will die here! Entrust our meaning to the next person who lives! This is the only way to fight against this cruel world!"

"So, everyone! Stand up straight! Don't lose to this world that has nothing but strength!"

Yi's voice resounded in everyone's heart, and they seemed to feel a surge of power.

"Right! We're all going to die anyway! Might as well be glorious!"

"That's right! Since this world treats us like this! We must bite back!"

"At least we should fight for our dignity!"

Even though they were so scared that tears came out of their eyes, they still roared at the top of their lungs. Suddenly, the whole square was filled with the roars of the soldiers!

"Maybe... I should have let Yi take my place a long time ago..." Mei looked at Yi in a daze and said, she couldn't do what Yi did to pull all the fusion warriors. Maybe she was more suitable to be a researcher, like Mobius and Vilvi. That kind of political affairs seemed to have delayed her own development...

"Get dressed immediately! Board the plane!" Yi shouted, and then Yi also stepped down and prepared to board the plane together.

Are Yi's words really so contagious, sending these people to die? In fact, in the background, Aponia is releasing her mental power along with Yi's voice, giving those fusion warriors a commandment...

"Is this really the only way?" Ai Lishiya lowered her head and looked at Yi and said.

"...We have no choice, Alicia..." Yi looked at Alicia and said, "If I really die...I'll leave Eden in your hands..."

"Are you so sure that I can survive? This is the second time you have said this. I don't think Eden wants to hear such words..." Alicia said to Yi, whose eyes were filled with death.

"You will survive, Alicia... Your name is not included in this operation... Obey orders... Your role is elsewhere..." Then he walked past Alicia and walked towards the transport plane.

"..." Alicia looked at Yi who passed her. She didn't understand why she was not on the list of the suicide squad. Now it seems that it was Yi's doing...

Kevin stood at the boarding gate, staring blankly at the soldiers walking towards him. Among them were people he knew and people he didn't know. Some of them were even younger than him and they still had their best years ahead of them, but they put their lives in his hands and walked towards death without hesitation. The existence called humanity shone brightly at this moment.

They walked over, looked at Kevin, said nothing, and seemed to have said everything. Some patted Kevin on the shoulder, some clenched their fists and gently hit Kevin's chest, and then boarded the plane.

Kevin was not really indifferent. Looking at these soldiers who sacrificed their lives, Kevin's eyes could not help but become moist, and then ice crystals fell to the ground.

At this time, Kosmo walked up to Kevin. He looked at his former idol in front of him and said softly, "Come on..." Then he punched Kevin's chest with his hand and then boarded the plane.

The next one to come was Desdobia. Looking at her slightly red eyes, she must have cried. "I leave it to you... Senior Kevin..." She gave Kevin a big hug and then followed Kosmo's steps to board the transport plane.

"...If I can't come back, please take care of Ling for me..." Ying walked over, said briefly, and then boarded the transport plane.

"I will... I will..." Kevin lowered his head, his face already frozen.

"Kevin... I will lead this group to approach the Herrscher from the air, Hua and Qianjie will approach the Herrscher head-on from the land to contain it... Everything... Everything is up to you... Don't let our sacrifice... be in vain..." Yi walked up to Kevin, patted him on the shoulder, and then boarded the transport plane.

Since then, the air force has officially assembled, and the transport plane slowly took off. The wind blew Kevin's coat and also took away the ice crystals on the ground...
