Collapse: The World I Live In

"Yi!" Kevin, who was watching this situation, endured the pain and came to Yi's side. He looked at Xi opposite him with serious eyes and said, "How is it..."

"..." Yi endured the pain and stood up shakily. Kevin saw this and quickly supported Yi, "It's not over yet... If you want to really kill the Herrscher... you must pierce her heart... My last attack deviated from the attack trajectory..."

"What should we do next..." Kevin asked.

"The power of creation of the Herrscher cannot be used for the time being... so we have to pierce her heart within the time limit..." Yi said to Xi across from him, and projected two katana, handing one to Kevin, "These are the last two... cherish them..."

"I understand..." Kevin took the sword and said.

At this moment, Xi had a gloomy face, staring at Yi and Kevin opposite her, and shouted at them, "You bastards! Go to hell!" After shouting, a strong Honkai energy erupted around Xi. She manipulated the power to form a skeleton around her, surrounding Xi, and the skeleton held a sickle in its hand.

The air waves spread out in all directions. Seeing that something was wrong, Yi gritted his teeth and shouted, "Susanoo!" Red skeletons appeared around Yi and surrounded Kevin and Yi.

Yi's skeleton is different from Xi's. Xi's looks solid, while Yi's is composed of energy.

"Puff!" Because he was the first to use the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Yi spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground. The color of the red skeleton he summoned also dimmed.

"Yi!" Kevin beside him hurriedly supported Yi and said worriedly. Kevin also felt very guilty at this time. If he was stronger, Yi would not have to face such a situation.

"It's okay... Kevin, I will block the attack this time... It's up to you from now on." At this time, Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up trembling. You can see that Yi's originally scarlet eyes gradually dimmed.

"Go to hell!" Xi controlled the white skeleton and slashed towards Yi with a sickle.

"It's not that easy, Xi!" After saying that, Yi held the sword in both hands and pointed it backwards. A red sword also appeared in the hand of the red skeleton. Then Yi and the red skeleton made exactly the same movements, waving the swords towards the direction where Xi Gong was coming.

boom!

The collision between the sickle and the sword stirred up waves of air, with Xi and Yi as the center, which blew away the houses and cars that had already become ruins around them.

"Ah!!! x2" Xi and Yi roared at the same time and increased their strength.

"Break it... for me!" Yi roared. Blood kept flowing out of Yi's eyes. The red skull also responded to Yi. In the collision between the sword and the sickle, cracks gradually appeared on the white sickle, and it was finally shattered by the sword.

"How is this possible?" Xi obviously didn't believe what he saw, but after smashing the weapon, Yi didn't stop his actions. He struck Xi's white skull with one blow, breaking it into pieces and scattering them around.

Afterwards, Yi could no longer maintain Susanoo, and the red skull gradually disappeared into the air without leaving a trace.

"Go! Kevin!" Yi roared. At this moment, Yi felt blurry and painful in his eyes and quickly covered his eyes.

Kevin reacted immediately, picking up his sword and attacking Xi.

Xi also came to his senses and immediately created several black tentacles to attack Kevin. Although Kevin was also at the end of his strength at this moment, he was still able to deal with these tentacles. Kevin did not slow down his speed at all. He cut off all the attacking tentacles and attacked Xi.

"What..." In Xi's surprised gaze, Kevin instantly came in front of Xi and swung his knife. Xi wanted to dodge, but the pain in his body slowed down his movements. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere and one of Xi's arms was chopped off by Kevin.

"Ahhh!" Xi screamed and quickly covered his wound, but he did not forget to launch a counterattack at this time. He controlled the tentacles to wrap Kevin tightly, and his weapon fell to the ground.

"Damn it..." Kevin, who was entangled, wanted to break free, but he found that the tentacles were too strong, coupled with the injuries on his body, he could not break free for a while.

"You've been caught, right? Now I'll teach you a lesson!" Although Xi was in a very embarrassed state at the moment, he still smiled when he saw Kevin being caught. Then he stretched out his remaining hand and clenched it towards Kevin. The tentacles wrapped around Kevin's body became tighter and tighter, and Kevin's bones couldn't help but make noises, but Kevin never cried out.

But soon, before Xi could kill Kevin, Yi rushed to Kevin's side, cut off the hands that were entangled with Kevin, and attacked Xi. Xi quickly summoned a red metal claw to resist Yi's attack.

Yi did not give Xi any chance. After his first attack failed to work, he attacked Xi again.

After being released, Kevin picked up the sword again and attacked Xi together with Yi.

Although Yi and Kevin had never fought together, the cooperation they showed this time was very tacit. Even Xi in his prime could hardly withstand the coordinated attack of Kevin and Yi in close combat, let alone after losing an arm. He could only retreat under the attacks of Yi and Kevin.

Finally, under the combined attack of Yi and Kevin, he was knocked to the ground.

Yi immediately went over, raised the knife and was about to stab Xi's heart.

"Brother..." At this moment, Xi suddenly spoke to Yi with a weak and haggard face. The expression, voice, and appearance seemed to be the original Xi. Hearing Xi's voice, Yi stopped when the tip of the knife was about to pierce Xi's heart. He looked at Xi in shock and said, "Xi..." The knife in his hand couldn't help but loosen.

"Brother..." When Xi, who was lying on the ground, was about to reach out and touch Yi's face, Kevin suddenly shouted, "Yi! Be careful!" Because Kevin saw the smile hidden under Xi's face.

Yi, who was reminded by Kevin, also came to his senses. He gripped the handle of the knife tightly and stabbed it towards Xi's heart. Blood splattered immediately. The blade had already penetrated Xi's heart, but it was too late. "Hahaha! You've been fooled!" This is what Xi said before stabbing the heart.

Because just when Yi felt soft-hearted, Xi quietly gathered the energy of annihilation and exploded it at the last moment, and black smoke swept across the entire city.

This black smoke came quickly and left quickly, but it took away a lot of things...

The originally noisy shelter was now empty. All sounds disappeared, including the crying of children and the quarreling of adults. The only thing left was the sound of running water from the faucet.

At this time in the city, except for Kevin and Yi in the center, there were also Honkai beasts and dead soldiers. There was not a single living person in the entire city. Under Xi Lin's death, all life in the entire city disappeared.

Xi's eyes, whose heart was pierced, gradually lost their luster and her body began to dissipate. But without the control of the Honkai God, her consciousness recovered in this short period of time. She looked at the person she loved most in front of her, and couldn't help but smile. She said weakly, "Thank you... Brother... I'm sorry... I've caused you so much trouble... I'm sorry..."

Hearing Xi say this, Yi immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Xi, "Xi..." Before he could finish what he wanted to say, Xi disappeared in Yi's arms, leaving a black and red core in Yi's hand. Yi held the core tightly, he knew that was the Herrscher Core.

At this time, the communicator beside Yi's ear rang.

"Yi..." Mobius' voice came from inside, "What's the situation..."

"Doctor... the Sixth Herrscher... the crusade was successful... Kevin and I are both alive..." Yi replied calmly.

"I have some bad news for you, Yi..." Mobius sensed that something was wrong with Yi, but still felt that he had to let Yi know about it. "This time, the collapse... the life signal of the entire city... is only you and Kevin... two people..."

"…What does that mean?" Yi said in disbelief when he heard that there were only life signals from himself and Kevin.

"What it means is... there were originally more than three million people in this city... and in a moment not long ago... all died..." Mebius said heavily.

"..." After hanging up the phone, Yi remembered Xi's last outburst before his death not long ago. The whole city was shrouded in black fog in an instant, and then disappeared in an instant. He suddenly realized, "This is all... my fault..." At this moment, something seemed to be extinguished in Yi's eyes. After a long silence, he slowly knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with his hands, "The whole city! More than three million lives were lost because of my hesitation! All gone! More than three million!" Yi roared angrily.

Kevin came to Yi's side, looked at the painful Yi, and wanted to go up to comfort him, but Kevin suddenly stopped. He clearly saw Yi's hands supporting the ground, his ten fingers bent into claws, digging deeply into the asphalt road.

"Yi..." Kevin decided to come over and pat Yi on the shoulder. When he was about to say something, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with Yi.

I saw Yi holding his heart with one hand and breathing with difficulty.

"Yi, what's wrong?" Kevin asked, shaking Yi quickly.

At this moment, Yi felt that breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, and his heart was in severe pain. It might be due to the injuries he had suffered before, or it might be due to the guilt in his heart for the lives of more than three million people.

The last scene he saw was Kevin beside him calling his name over and over again, but the voice he heard became smaller and smaller until Yi closed his eyes, fainted, and fell to the ground.
