Collapse: The World I Live In

In the ruins, two figures were running at high speed towards the center of the battlefield.

"...Kevin...and...Mashu..." Sakura sat on the ground leaning against the wall, holding the Seven Thunders of Purification that were emitting lightning in her hand, but Sakura was not in a good condition at the moment. Her whole body was corroded by the Honkai energy, and her breath was dying.

"Senior Sakura... no... we have to call for rescue immediately!" Mashu covered her mouth when she saw Sakura's condition, and then hurriedly tried to call for rescue.

"No need... Mashu... I'm... beyond help..." Sakura said weakly.

"..." The other figure was Kevin. The Honkai beast tide on the front line had been suppressed, and there was no need to worry too much with Alicia in charge, so he hurried over to see Sakura's situation. Now he looked at Sakura and didn't know what to say.

"Kevin...I know you're right..." Sakura said, turning to look at Kevin.

"Ying... you showed mercy in the end... the Herrscher is not dead..." Kevin looked at Ying and said, "But the Herrscher has been sealed by Mei now... She said... the Herrscher showed the same special fluctuations as the Sixth Herrscher at the last moment... Ling's consciousness seemed to be the same as Xi's, and she woke up at the last moment... Mei did not miss this opportunity..."

"That's good..." Ying raised the corners of her mouth and said, "I stayed with Ling... until the last moment... until the end... she was still my sister... I kept... my pride as a sister..."

"…………" Kevin was silent for a while. He felt Sakura's life force slowly fading away. Sakura didn't have much time left...

"You never regretted it until the end, that's enough, Sakura..." Kevin said, looking at Sakura.

Sakura's eyes gradually dimmed, but a smile flashed in the corners of her eyes. Perhaps she saw something, something that only she could see.

"...Kevin...I have...one last request..." Sakura looked up at Kevin and said.

"I'm listening," Kevin said.

"If possible... please bury me and my sister in my hometown... where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom..." Sakura's breath gradually became weaker and her head slowly lowered.

"I will..." Kevin clenched his fists and said with a trembling voice.

"Sakura-senpai..." Tears were already flowing from Mashu's eyes. This senior who usually took care of her was now at the end of his life.

"Mashu... don't be sad..." Sakura looked at the tearful Mashu and comforted her, "There are some things... some regrets... we can't do anything about it... but you are still young... although humanity is now in ruins... but please believe... this world is still beautiful..." As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura's head slowly dropped, and her life completely disappeared...

"Sakura-senpai! Sakura-senpai!" Mashu called out anxiously, but it was all in vain, and it started to rain heavily at this time.

So far, Sakura... has ended...

On the other side, Yi was still fighting. Although the Herrscher had been sealed, countless dead soldiers and Honkai beasts were still rushing towards him. The corpses of the dead soldiers and Honkai beasts were already piled up around Yi, but countless Honkai beasts were still pouring out of the city.

Although these death warriors and Honkai beasts are not high-level, there are too many of them. They can exhaust Yi to death. His Honkai energy reserves are almost exhausted at this moment, and he has to fight them with his physical body. He is not like Vishnu who can restore energy by devouring Honkai beasts.

"Is this the end?" Yi took the projected double swords and chopped a dead man in half, and couldn't help but complain that fusion warriors would also get tired.

And just when Yi took a breath, more Honkai beasts and assassins rushed up. He avoided the attack of the Honkai beasts, but an assassin holding a bow in the distance shot an arrow that successfully hit Yi in the back, causing Yi to stagger. The other assassins also seized the opportunity and stabbed Yi in the back with a knife.

Yi quickly threw the assassin out with an over-the-shoulder throw, then pulled out the arrows and sword that were stuck in his body. Four Thunder God-level Honkai beasts appeared around Yi and stabbed at him with spears.

Yi quickly jumped into the air to avoid the attack of the Honkai beast. Now Yi couldn't even use his Sharingan. In the air, a Honkai Emperor hit Yi's abdomen directly, knocking Yi out and smashing him into the ruins.

"Damn it..." Yi pushed away the wall that was pressing on him, covered his abdomen and felt a headache as he looked at the Honkai beast approaching him. The Fire Moths in this city have already fallen, and he can't count on anyone to help. His only hope is that Alicia can finish quickly and come to help him.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew across Yi's face, and Yi heard a familiar voice.

"Star Sea Harmony! Zeroth Rated Power! Pseudo-Black Hole!" Eden's voice rang out, and a black hole appeared out of thin air in the center of the battlefield. The huge gravitational force sucked all the surrounding Honkai beasts and dead soldiers into it and crushed them.

"Eden..." Before Yi could finish his words, Eden rushed over and bumped into Yi, knocking him to the ground.

"I'm glad you're okay..." Eden said while hugging Yi tightly.

"..." Yi didn't say anything. Eden's collision just now was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. It might also be that Yi relaxed after seeing Eden coming, and ended up fainting.

……

Then, when Yi recovered, Ying's funeral would follow...

The funeral was held in the Far East, Sakura's hometown... The cherry tree that Sakura was talking about was no longer there, only a ruin remained. Sakura's hometown had long since fallen into destruction.

The only people who attended the funeral were Yi and his group, the Fire Chaser as Alicia called them, plus Mashu and Li. Mei did not come because she had to reorganize people to build the base.

"What happened to Sakura... is a pity, but I am willing to agree with her choice at the last moment." Alicia spoke first.

But Qianjie seemed very dissatisfied with what Alicia said, "That kind of recognition? Recognition of [identity]? Is that so?"

"..." Alicia didn't say anything.

"If I were there, I wouldn't have let things develop to this point!" Qianjie roared angrily, "And those people still called Ying a traitor! What qualifications do they have! "

"Calm down Qianjie!" Aponiya said to Qianjie.

“Don’t act sad here, Aponya! Ling’s death was caused by your crappy rules, wasn’t it?” Qianjie aimed his gunfire at Aponya again. After all, those soldiers killed Ling on their own initiative because of the rules. “I don’t know what you think of me... but were those who were present at the time more human than me? They killed an innocent girl, but said that it was fear that pulled the trigger for them, and won a rare victory! They even... cheered and celebrated for it... A bunch of trash... scum... they deserved to die!..."

"Enough! Qianjie!" Kevin stopped Qianjie who wanted to continue speaking.

"You didn't say it, right... Kevin... It was that little girlfriend's decision... to lock Ling up..." Qianjie turned his attention to Kevin again.

"Shut up!" Seeing this, Kevin released a cold aura and stared at Qianjie.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you!" Qianjie also burst out with a strong flame to drive away Kevin's coldness. If Alicia hadn't stopped Qianjie, Qianjie would have gone to Mei to ask for an explanation.

Kosmo held onto Grayshuin and did not join in the quarrel, but both of them could clearly sense that the conflict between them seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Yi directly scolded them, "Enough! This is Ying's funeral! If you want to fight, go fight somewhere else!"

Qianjie and Kevin looked at each other and stopped the energy that was about to explode.

"Perhaps this is also a kind of relief for Ying..." Yi said while standing in front of Ying's tombstone. Among all the people present, Yi was the one who could empathize with Ying the most. When he ended his sister's life with his own hands just like Ying, he also thought about ending it all, but he met Eden and now there was Li.

"What kind of liberation is this..." Qianjie couldn't help but say.

"No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!" Mebius retorted Qianjie.

“Mobius! You…” Qianjie was interrupted by Yi before he could finish his words, “The train is heading to Huangquan Station, and the platform is full of deceased people coming to greet people. This is not a tragedy, this is clearly a reunion…”

……

Sakura's funeral ended with everyone's silence. Yi was preparing to go home with Eden and Li. Mashu suddenly ran over and asked Yi, "Senior Yi... have you ever anticipated death?" It seems that Sakura's death this time was a big blow to this child.

"I have met many people, Mashu, but the sad thing is that the more brilliant a person is, the faster he will burn out his life energy." Yi looked at Mashu and said, "Mashu, don't be confused. As long as you are still alive, you must keep moving forward. The direction of the living is the future of mankind."
