Chapter 358 The 3rd Great Collapse

After returning, Siren rested for two more days, and finally, they embarked on the path of warriors.

How should I put it, in this era, all Honkai warriors are flesh and blood, there are no stigmata, there are no super soldiers, and their weapons are mainly thermal weapons.

After all, everyone is a normal person. Who would think of fighting a Honkai Beast in hand-to-hand combat? Only those Valkyries, relying on the power of the Stigmata, dare to charge upward with cold weapons.

If people nowadays play like that, it is no different than collectively committing suicide. Apart from anything else, if you ask them to chop down those Honkai beasts as high as mountains with swords the size of toothpicks? Can you chop them down while standing still?

In short, Siren also wields two guns, and occasionally cannons and other weapons to deal with the current Honkai.

The power of the Herrscher was never used, which led to her seeing too many tragic scenes during the mission, and she truly felt the powerlessness of human beings in the face of Honkai.

For example, when retreating, because teammates are injured and cannot be taken away, they can only be left behind.

At first no one was willing, but they had no choice but to carry out the order.

However, when they received the order to kill their injured teammates, they all hesitated and ultimately chose to disobey them.

As a result, the teammate who was injured and unable to escape died painfully due to the brutal killing by the Honkai Beast.

Naturally, the Honkai Beasts are not as clean as those in the training ground. Their bodies are covered in blood and broken limbs, making their appearance, which is not particularly scary, look so ferocious.

As the number of tasks increased, there were fewer and fewer people who had attended the party together. Of course, they all understood that behind every cruel rule of the Fire Chasing Moth, there were even more tragic lessons.

Maybe it's not that they are cold-blooded, but that under the gear of fate, in order to survive and do their best, they have to become cold-blooded.

Therefore, when they had to deal with their wounded comrades for the second time, they knew they had to do it, but it was much more difficult than they imagined.

How could it be easy to point a gun at your comrades?

However, sometimes this is something that has to be done. There are always casualties in war. Sometimes you can save her, but sometimes you can only give her a pain-free relief.

And this kind of thing is really simple for Xilin, and she won't have any psychological pressure.

After all, she has killed far more people than this, and she has also caused far more disasters than she has now.

However, even she will have a day of hesitation.

That day, the seriously injured Minnuo fell to the ground. She leaned on the wall of the ruins and looked at Xilin with a smile on her face.

She apologized to Sirin and placed Sirin's gun on top of her head.

At that moment, Siren hesitated and was at a loss.

In such a world, she could not see any hope at all. The sky was dark, the earth was burning with flames, and there was no trace of light or salvation.

In such a world, what exactly are you insisting on?

Siren felt very depressed, but in the end, she killed Minnuo and buried her body.

She had done this countless times, and every time she would think, if it was Bai Mo, what would she choose?

Bai Mo might also pull the trigger, but the pain she would have to bear, even more weakly, might be something she couldn't feel at all now.

In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

She has experienced a lot in the past six months, and of course, Xilin has also learned more about the world.

However, she still didn't know why she wanted to fight, or why she wanted to fight from a human perspective.

Perhaps, she has never placed herself in the position of a human being, and because of this, she has never felt that her fight is meaningful.

On this day, Siren and Alicia received a major task.

Standing in front of Hen, Xilin acted very casually and showed no respect for the superior.

Hen was already used to Xilin's personality, so he didn't care and just kept talking to himself.

"A collapse broke out in Changkong City. The severity of this collapse has been defined as the third great collapse."

"In addition, we detected extremely high concentrations of Honkai energy and lightning reactions. If the estimation is correct, the Third Herrscher was born."

"Um?"

After hearing about the birth of the Third Herrscher, Sirin became a little bit interested. Of course, the loudest thing was the little Lei Lu in her body.

"Is it finally here? My power!"

Ever since Siren relied on the Herrscher Core to regain her power, she had used her power a lot. Although she had never used it openly, she had often used her power to bully them when she competed with them behind the scenes.

Now, it’s finally up to me, my Herrscher of Thunder power!

"So, are we going to deal with the Herrscher?"

Alicia asked.

Hen shook his head.

"You have other tasks."

"Go to Changkong City and bring someone back. Don't let anything happen to her. Even if you die, bring her back safely."

"Who?" Xilin was a little unhappy. Who was so grand and pompous that she actually had to protect her with all her strength?

"A student from Qianyu Academy, a girl named Mei."

"Is it her?" Xilin obviously didn't expect it to be her.

"Oh, that's a coincidence." Alicia smiled and clapped her hands.

"Okay, let's go."

Xilin only hesitated for a moment, then replied casually, rolled her eyes and left.

"What a troublesome guy, Alicia, you have to keep an eye on her."

Hen was speechless, but Lixia smiled and spoke.

"Having said that, Bai's temper is indeed much better than half a year ago. At least he's not rolling his eyes at you."

Hen wanted to refute such remarks, but she couldn't. After all, this was a fact. Compared to Bai who looked at her with rubbish eyes and rolled her eyes at her half a year ago, she was already very polite now.

"I feel at ease. I can feel that Bai doesn't hate you."

After leaving a final sentence with a smile, Alicia followed.

Soon, she caught up with Siren and found that she was talking to herself.

"Ouch! Don't be in a hurry, okay!? Don't poke me in the waist!"

At this time, little Leilu was gearing up inside his body.

"Don't wait! I'm ready to teach this so-called Third Herrscher a lesson."

Then Xiao Fengzi laughed mockingly: "Don't be defeated by then."

"How is it possible? That fat guy can beat the Second Herrscher, am I any worse than her?" Little Leilu looked confident.

"Bai." Alicia patted Sirin's shoulder and spoke while walking side by side with her.

"We're going to see Mei again soon, but our relationship with her doesn't seem to be very good. I wonder if we can see Kevin and Su."

Siren shook her head.

"I don't know, but our mission is just to escort, so it should be safer."

Originally, a team must have at least seven people, but in order to fight against the Herrscher, and Xilin and the others' tasks were also very simple and relatively safe, so this time it was just the two of them.

After boarding the plane, the plane took off with a familiar attitude and flew towards Changkong City.

At the same time, in Changkong City, the originally prosperous city turned into ruins. Collapsed vehicles, burning flames, corpses everywhere, and the increased Honkai Impact in the series have become everything here now.

In the center of the city, something was razed to the ground. A huge pit suddenly appeared, and in the hole, thunder surrounded it, and purple thunder and lightning spread in all directions, making it impossible for any living thing to get close.

This time, the human beings transformed into Herrschers had very strong willpower, and even after the outbreak, they persisted for such a long time without fully transforming into Herrschers.

But this happened just now. Now, after dozens of minutes of fighting, human instinct has finally dissipated. As the figure of the purple girl floated up, a smile gradually appeared on her painful face.

A bolt of lightning spread from her eyes, and with her arms spread wide, the Herrscher of Thunder looked down at the earth.

"Hehehe, I finally came out..."
