Collapse: The World I Live In

"Where...is this place..." Yi opened his eyes and looked around. It was dark all around. He looked at his body again. All the wounds on his body disappeared, which made Yi feel strange. Then he walked straight in one direction and muttered, "Could it be the [deepest place]?" Then Yi denied this answer. Slowly, a white door appeared in front of Yi, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark world.

Yi could only walk towards the door. The closer he got to the door, the more dazzling the white light became, making it impossible for Yi to open his eyes.

Finally, after Yi stepped into the door, the surrounding space changed, and the dark space was dispelled by white light.

"Yo~ Long time no see..." At this time, a voice appeared beside Yi's ears. Yi opened his eyes and looked at the situation in front of him. There was a step in front of him, and on the step there was a throne. On it sat a woman with white hair that Yi looked familiar. Looking at this woman, Yi opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "[God of Collapse]?" Yi had seen this woman before during the first Collapse. When he saw this woman, Yi had already confirmed that his real body had fainted, and his spirit was here talking to this woman.

"Hey~ You still remember me~~" The woman heard what Yi said, holding her chin with one hand and chuckled, and then said something that made Yi angry, "How is it? How does it feel to kill your own sister?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Yi suddenly burst out at an astonishing speed, came to the stairs, stood in front of the woman, and punched her.

Unfortunately, Yi's fist missed. The woman suddenly appeared behind Yi and said, "Well, not bad. You are much stronger than the first time we met. But unfortunately, you are still too weak to defeat me."

Hearing what the woman said, Yi ignored her and immediately turned around and wanted to punch her again. Unfortunately, Yi's powerful punch was easily held in her palm. At this moment, the woman's expression was no longer playful but became cold, "I said, you are too weak." Then, as if she was controlling gravity, Yi was knocked away before her fist touched him.

“Cough, cough, cough!” The knocked-away Yi smashed the white floor, causing cracks. He supported himself on the ground with both hands and said with a gloomy face, “It was you… who turned my sister into a Herrscher, right…”

"Yes, so what if it's me?" The woman recreated a throne, sat on it with her legs crossed, supported her chin with one hand, looked down at Yi and said.

“Why…why did it have to be Xi…” Yi said, clutching the floor with both hands tightly.

"Why? That's something you humans have to ask..." The woman stood up and walked around Yi in a circle, saying, "You humans should have discovered the conditions for becoming a Herrscher. In addition to having enough Honkai energy, there is another condition, which is losing hope in this world... I don't need to say more about this..."

"..." Yi remained silent because everything the woman said was right.

The woman finally walked up to Yi, bent down, and said to him face to face, "This is all your fault... Yi..." Then she leaned close to Yi's ear and said, "It's all because of your eyes. They bring disaster to everyone around you. People with these eyes are born to be lonely. Whether it's your sister, your mother, or even your lover in the future, they will meet their death because of your eyes..."

Hearing this, Yi looked at the woman in front of him in horror. Seeing Yi's expression, the woman smiled and said, "Haven't you noticed? Every time someone close to you leaves, your eyes will evolve and gain new power. This is the law of conservation of mass. When you gain something, you also lose something at the same time. When you gain power, you lose the people you care about..."

When Yi heard this, the light in his eyes lost its brightness. It turned out that everything was caused by the misfortune he brought to them. If I were not here... would Xi and her mother live a better life?

The woman turned her back to Yi, put her hands behind her back and said, "Okay... that's all I have to say, and it's time for you to leave. There are people waiting for you outside. I look forward to seeing you next time..." After that, she walked away, farther and farther away.

"Wait..." When Yi was about to call her, he suddenly felt dizzy, then lost consciousness and fell to the ground...

"Yi! Yi!" Accompanied by a familiar voice, Yi slowly opened his scarlet eyes and looked at himself.

I saw myself lying on the hospital bed, with Mobius and Alicia on my left, Hen on my right, and Velvet and Klein opposite me. Himeko was in Australia and couldn't come over, and Mei had gone to take care of Kevin.

Yi slowly sat up with the help of Hen, and looked around with dim eyes. Suddenly, he saw a fruit knife on the bedside table next to him. Yi then remembered what the God of Disaster had said to him in the consciousness space before, and immediately took the knife and stabbed it into his red eyes.

"Hey! Yi! What are you doing!" Fortunately, Hen next to him was quick-witted and grabbed Yi's hand that was about to stab the knife into his eyes, snatched the knife from Yi's hand and said.

The people around were also shocked by Yi's action.

"Yi..." The atmosphere in the ward was very depressing at the moment. Mebius was worried that Yi wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

"It's all because of these eyes..." Yi spoke first, tears streaming down his face as he spoke. He could feel that he would never be able to close these eyes again. "These eyes brought disaster to the people around them. Whether it was my mother, Xi or Long... they all lost their lives because of these eyes..."

"Don't joke, Yi, this is not your fault..." Hen said, but Yi interrupted Hen and said, "I saw... Collapse..."

"? Yi, what do you mean..." asked Mebius.

"Literally, she's the controller of Honkai. Everything that's destroyed was born because of her. She is the God of Honkai..." Then, Yi told the people around him what he saw in the consciousness space.

"..." The people around were silent after hearing this. They didn't expect that there really was a god controlling the Honkai.

"...Yi, you should rest first, we will go first..." Mebius was the first to break the silence, not only because Yi said she needed to report, but also because Yi was very weak and needed to rest, and he himself also needed to calm down...

Everyone walked out of the ward, and the last one to leave was Hen. Before he left, he looked back at Yi, who was lying decadently on the bed. He bit his lip and said, "Have a good rest," then he closed the door and walked out of the ward.

Everyone who was leaving stopped outside the ward at the same time. At this time, everyone looked at one person, that was Mobius.

"Mebius, you should have something else to say..." Velvi said to Mebius while leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.

"That's right..." He then took out a report from his pocket and said, "This is Yi's brain wave chart. His brain waves are very unstable now. He is very likely to have a mental illness. If he receives any stimulation, he might do something extreme, just like what he did just now. If what Yi said just now is true, then there is only one reason for this result, and that is his eyes..."

"Then Doctor... is there really nothing wrong with Senior Yi's eyes?" Klein asked.

"It's very complicated. To be honest, his eyes are not scientific at all. If it's like what Yi said, every time he evolves, he loses an important person around him... No wonder Yi's personality is also affected by those eyes..."

"What does this mean, Mebius?" asked Alicia.

"The reason why Yi is usually like a piece of wood and very slow is that it is a form of self-protection for Yi. After all, if Yi understands the emotion of love, the emotions that were previously restrained will be released... and he will burst out with love far beyond that of ordinary people. When the person Yi loves dies, Yi's spiritual power is impacted, especially the stimulation of negative energy, which leads to the evolution of his eyes and the awakening of new power... But according to Yi's current situation... after the death of Yi's sister Xi, the sixth Herrscher, and the guilt of causing the deaths of more than three million people because of Yi, Yi's eyes should have been complete. But because of this, Yi's head is full of negative emotions now, so someone has to guide him well..." Having said that, Mebius looked at Alicia.

Alicia blinked her big eyes, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Mebius, I'll take care of the chess."

"I can only leave it to you... After all, no one is better than you at guiding others..." said Mebius.

Hearing what Mobius said, Alicia also smiled.
