"Waaaaah! I will never give up! Kiana, think about your bond with Mei! How can our relationship, built up over so much time, be defeated by a guy who just suddenly appears!"

The Queen of the Sky, standing to the side, really wanted to say that these game consoles and snacks were actually created by that human.

But looking at the Devastation Worm's defeated wail, which seemed to be on the verge of going berserk, it looked as if even the slightest blow would completely break its defenses and crush it.

She ultimately didn't say those words aloud.

Ah, Her Majesty the Queen is starting to understand people's hearts.

"What's wrong, Qi Shi?"

Sensing that the person next to him was staring in one direction and seemed somewhat unsettled, Hua asked in confusion.

"There's a problem in Changkong City." Qi Shi frowned slightly, his tone concise and to the point.

"A massive collapse has occurred in the city, and it's spreading rapidly in this area."

"What! The Honkai has broken out in the city!" Hua was shocked to hear this and immediately wanted to head to Changkong City.

However, there was no need to even go there; the oppressive, dark purple energy in the sky had already arrived, like a deep darkness that exploded and spread, instantly reaching the urban area of ​​Canghai City.

Chapter 137 The Backlash of Collapse

The Great Collapse descended in an instant, covering almost half of Canghai City, and that was only the impact that spread from Changkong City.

The prosperous city was instantly transformed into a calamity inferno. Seeing this scene, Hua gritted his teeth and rushed towards the center of the Great Collapse without any hesitation.

At this moment, Canghai City was in chaos. Countless Honkai Beasts surged out like a tide from the dark purple Honkai energy that blotted out the sky, or were born from the eroded land and buildings. These Honkai creatures, with scarlet eyes, huge white bodies of various shapes, and dangerous dark purple patterns flowing on their bodies, attacked everything around them indiscriminately.

The earth shattered, buildings collapsed, and panicked cries filled the air.

The colossal beast, standing over ten meters tall, crashed into the building, causing the entire structure to collapse. The wheat-skinned girl who had just escaped the building let out a terrified scream as she watched countless rubble fall upon her.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in, crushing the rubble into dust. The rampaging giant Honkai Beast was instantly pierced and destroyed, and along with the girl caught in the blast, it was carried away from the safe zone by the wind.

"Are you alright?" Hua helped the other person, whose body had gone limp.

"No, it's okay."

"Yes, let's quickly go to a safe place to take refuge."

The girl responded, still somewhat shaken. After confirming that she was alright, Hua left without lingering, leaving behind a single sentence.

"Um, my name is Carol, thank you, Hua!"

As Hua disappeared from sight, the girl named Carol recognized him as Hua, a classmate from the same school who had a unique and solitary personality.

Not knowing if the other person could hear her, she quickly waved and thanked them.

After saving her classmate, Hua didn't linger at all. Instead, she rushed towards the center of the collapse. Along the way, she saved many people in danger, but her expression was only grim and unpleasant.

"Why is this Honkai disaster so severe, and why did it happen so suddenly?"

It's like a disaster deliberately set off to bring about judgment!

Qi Shi had been silent the whole time, frowning and staring at something.

This is... the backlash of collapse.

It was indeed incredibly sudden and deliberate, for this was the judgment from the Cocoon of the End. This Honkai disaster not only enveloped Changkong City but also radiated to several surrounding cities; its intensity was far greater than many major Honkai events.

At the heart of the disaster, Qi Shi did not discover the birth of a Herrscher. Instead, there was a chaotic yet immense and surging aura of collapse that was rapidly growing stronger over time.

Is it a Hollow Beast of the End-of-Day Class?

If the Herrscher represents a qualitative leap in Honkai power and is synonymous with authority, then the End-of-Day Honkai Beasts are simply massively increased numbers on top of the Judgment-level Honkai Beasts, pure numerical monsters with overwhelming strength.

He hadn't expected that his actions would trigger a backlash from the collapse.

This was merely a change in the environment of power, a gentle tap into people's hearts, guiding everyone toward goodness. He even thoughtfully used his power to envelop all those he controlled. As everyone knows, anyone tainted by his power will have their household registration changed on the spot. If deliberately concealed, they will essentially be untraceable in the Cocoon of the End.

In other words, this collapse was not caused by violations being discovered and judged by the GM, but rather by a disaster triggered by a massive increase in civilization.

Qi Shi couldn't understand why a small human unity could cause such a huge backlash, even attracting a Hollow Beast of the End-of-Day level, which seemed even stronger.

It should be noted that in the original world, the immortal taught the method to fight against the Honkai in ancient times, directly giving the Iron Age the power of Honkai warriors that transcended countless years of civilization, which is why they were punished by the Cocoon of the End.

Thinking back to the previous civilization where everyone could get a huge pack of SSRs, but those in power kept dragging things down and acting recklessly, well, human unity has indeed received an epic boost.

At the headquarters of the Fire Moth, all team members are making preparations for mobilization.

"Our mission this time is to defeat the evil and terrifying Herrscher of the Void. How about it, aren't you excited~?"

At this moment, Alicia was no longer wearing her youthful home clothes, but had changed into a uniform in the style of the Fire Moth. It had added a touch of heroism and reliability to her appearance, but she was still full of girlish charm. The carefully tailored and beautifully designed clothes showed the care of its owner.

At this moment, she was enthusiastically giving pre-battle pep talks to her teammates.

After this period of time, having become more familiar with and improved her own power, Ellie felt that she was capable again and planned to avenge her previous defeat, rebuild the glory of the fairy lady, and challenge the evil Herrscher once more.

However, as she put it, it was to defeat, not to annihilate.

Alicia's real goal was to put aside her grudges and talk with the Herrscher of the Void.

She discovered that the Herrscher of the Void was very different from the Herrschers she knew, and did not cause large-scale destruction. She felt that the Herrscher of the Void was not a madwoman who only knew how to destroy, but a beautiful girl with a sense of self, just like herself.

Alicia felt that if she could have a proper conversation, she would definitely be able to persuade the other person to put aside the barriers between them and humans.

However, given the Herrscher of the Void's aloof personality, one would probably have to defeat her first if they wanted to communicate with her.

"Um... Boss, are you sure we won't hold you back?"

The speaker was a man named 'Hen', wearing combat armor with the emblem of the Fire Moth. He appeared quite mature and composed, clearly a battle-hardened warrior.

But when speaking to the girl, he appeared cautious and rather vulnerable.

He was a strengthened warrior named 'Hen' who was transferred to the Fire Moth, and he was indeed one of the elite warriors among thousands.

However, this composed man knew very well.

This special expert, parachuted in from headquarters, possessed an unimaginable and terrifying strength that left no room for resistance. During training, they were easily defeated, never even witnessing the opponent's true power, which made him acutely aware of the gap between them and the opponent.

“Of course we should all fight side by side,” Alicia said innocently, then suddenly changed her tone.

"If the Herrscher of the Void summons her evil minions, then I'll leave them to you guys~?"

She remembered the lesson of being surrounded by helicopters and the army at the beginning, and this time she was going to lead her underlings to attack.

"Isn't this just a supporting role?" Hen thought to himself, but he was actually relieved.

While he had no doubt about his leader's strength, he was genuinely afraid that this eccentric and seemingly unreliable personality would lead him to shout things like, "Of course we should fight together! Friendship and bonds are the most beautiful things," and then charge head-on into the Herrscher of the Void, only to be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Although Hen is not afraid of fighting, it has to be a valuable battle, not just being kicked to death like a stray dog ​​on the street.

He had a wife and daughter waiting for him to come home.

"Alright~ Target: Herrscher of the Void, Fairy of Love Squad, let's go~?"

After the pre-battle declaration segment ended, Alicia fans pointed towards Europe and energetically came up with a team name that was very Alicia-esque.

The dozen or so burly men in the team couldn't help but twitch their lips a few times, while only a few female team members covered their mouths and revealed smiles they couldn't help but laugh.

Chapter 138 Ellie, is there something wrong with your play this time?

The group boarded the spaceship and arrived in Europe, quickly reaching the location of the Herrscher of the Void.

Since discovering that throwing meteorites at the moon was ineffective, and that destroying houses was far more effective, the Herrscher of the Void settled atop the tallest building in Europe, constantly bringing warmth akin to Honkai energy to the European elites.

Atop the towering skyscraper, countless imaginary doors illuminate the place as if it were daytime, making it a place of divine power yet awe-inspiring. And at the center, the brightest golden star is the Herrscher of the Void.

"Herrscher of the Void, your time to do as you please is over. Now, hand over control of this building~?"

Alicia walked up to the rooftop and spoke to the opposite side with a charming and confident expression. After this period of practice, she was no longer the novice Alicia, but a super fairy lady who had returned after completing her studies.

However, the Herrscher of the Void merely glanced indifferently at the persistent pink-haired girl with her golden eyes, completely ignoring her.

The way she was being looked at like she was an idiot made Alicia feel deeply offended, and she immediately pouted slightly in annoyance and dissatisfaction.

"That's too much! It's about to attack! Take this, Fairy Lady's Brilliant Flying Flowers!"

Alicia raised her weapon, and a bright glow flowed across the jewel-like longbow as a pink arrow of light, gathering intense energy, shot out.

The light arrow, imbued with concentrated power, struck the faint shield surrounding the Herrscher of the Void. With a crisp sound, it was deflected, spinning to the side before dissipating into specks of light, without even causing a ripple in the shield.

An awkward silence descended as the Herrscher of the Void silently gazed at Alicia.

"Um, actually, I came here to have afternoon tea with you~?"

Alicia chuckled sheepishly, hid the crystal bow behind her back, and said timidly, sticking out her little tongue in an attempt to get away with it.

"Hey~?"

With a burst of speed from her feet, the pink-haired fairy was already preparing to run away.

Unexpectedly, the Herrscher of the Void did not launch a sudden attack. Instead, he looked at her with his calm golden eyes and spoke.

"Human, are you here to kill me?"

Upon hearing the other person speak for the first time, Alicia was taken aback for a moment, and then naturally revealed a sincere and bright smile.

"How could that be? They actually just wanted everyone to get along peacefully!"

"Peaceful coexistence."

The Herrscher of the Void repeated the seemingly beautiful word, and whether it was a hallucination or not, Alicia thought she heard her let out a somewhat mocking laugh.

Then her golden eyes turned indifferent again, and the power of authority gathered, as if she had done something. Hundreds of miles away, the last batch of filthy insects were crushed by her.

"Well, there are many good people and many beautiful children among humans. Wouldn't it be better if everyone lived happily together?"

"Everyone was terrified by you, but I know you must be a beautiful girl at heart, just like them."

"As long as we let go of our barriers..."

Alicia continued to persuade them.

However, her voice suddenly stopped.

"Let it go, ha~"

The Herrscher of the Void's second response was a more pronounced, sarcastic sneer. She moved, but not to attack.

An arm suddenly plunged into her chest, piercing through flesh and blood, and a large amount of Honkai energy flowed out. All the actions before her eyes silenced the pink-haired girl. A core was forcibly ripped out of her body by a slender hand and thrown at Alicia's feet by the Herrscher of the Void like trash.

The gemstone clattered on the ground, its sound seemingly striking Alicia's heart as well.
