Collapse: The World I Live In

On the moon,

Yi and his group have arrived on the surface of the moon on the Moonlight Throne, and what lies before them is not the Herrscher of the End but a door, a door leading to a tree, a door leading to the end.

"The Imaginary Number Tree, you all should know what it is like." Mei said to the people around him, "And this time, the opportunity to explore its secrets is before us, we can't let it go."

"Then who will go? Our combat power is limited." Yi asked.

"I will go to the Imaginary Tree." An AI's voice sounded, and a projection appeared beside Mei. It was the AI ​​created by Mei, Prometheus. "I will act as a virus and invade the Imaginary Tree."

"What about the price? If the door could be opened so easily, there would be no need for this discussion." Velvet looked at Prometheus and asked.

"The moment the door is opened, the Herrscher of the End will also arrive, and the price to pay is that he will suffer excessive Honkai energy and die... Ordinary soldiers can't even get close to the door... Therefore, only fusion warriors can open this door..." Mei said, looking at the people around him, which also means that one of these people will definitely die.

At this moment, the conference room fell silent. This was a difficult decision, to voluntarily commit suicide, which made most people silent.

"Is there really no other way?" Eden asked.

"No more." Mei shook her head and said.

"If you can't beat me, then let me go. Anyway, the Shesha factor I have fused can revive me." Mebius said indifferently.

"This time is different, Dr. Mobius. The excessive Honkai energy this time will kill you directly, with no chance of resurrection." Mei said.

"...By the way...have you seen Pado?" Yi noticed at this time that there was one person missing from the meeting room, and that was Pado.

"Wasn't she here just now?" Weiwei looked to the side and found that Padu was no longer beside her.

"Could it be..." Yi immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly looked for Pado on the spaceship.

……

Afterwards, Yi and others finally found Pado.

"Pado! Come back here!" Yi saw Pado preparing to leave the spaceship and head for the door, and immediately ran over to stop Pado.

But this time, Paduo did not listen to Yi. She smiled and closed the door of the spaceship, locking Yi and others inside. No matter how hard they banged on the door, it wouldn't open.

"Pado! What do you want to do!" Yi yelled at Pado through the glass.

"Open the door! Padua!" Eden also pulled the bolt but found that it would not move at all.

Padu turned around, looked at everyone and said, "Boss Yi, Sister Eden... now I know what I want to do... I know what kind of person I want to be... for you... and for myself..."

"No! Paduo, come back here! You don't have to do this!" Yi banged on the door and yelled at Paduo. He knew what Paduo was going to do.

And Pado smiled at Yi and the others, then turned back and resolutely opened the door. What appeared in front of Pado was a long road, a road leading to the tree of imaginary numbers. Suddenly, countless Honkai energy poured out from the door, and the characteristics of Honkai disease appeared directly on Pado's body. It stands to reason that a fusion warrior could not get Honkai disease, but at this moment, with the erosion of Honkai energy, purple lines appeared on Pado's body.

"Hurry up and break down this door!" Qianjie shouted hurriedly.

“No, all parts of the Moonlight Throne are integrated. If this door is destroyed, there might be problems when we face the end!” Weiwei stopped Qianjie.

"Are there any other doors?" Yi asked hurriedly.

"Follow me!" Weiwei led a few people to other exits, while Mei stood at the window and watched Padu stepping into the exit step by step, and then said to Prometheus, "Go... Prometheus... This is the last chance..."

"...Yes..." Prometheus was silent for a while and then walked directly through the gate and arrived next to Pado. After all, Prometheus was a ball of data.

Mei thought this was the best opportunity. After all... although it was hard to accept, Paduo was the weakest among the fusion warriors, and she was the best choice to open this door.

"Cough cough cough..." Mei coughed up a ball of blood. Fortunately, Kevin went with them to stop Pado and did not see this scene. "This should be my retribution... After all, I made so many decisions that hurt everyone..." Mei shook her head and covered the purple lines on her body with clothes. She also didn't have much time left.

As Paduo got closer step by step, the concentration of Honkai energy increased, and the purple lines on her body gradually spread to her face, but she did not give up, and continued to move forward while enduring the pain of being eroded by Honkai.

At this moment, Yi and his group had successfully left the Moonlight Throne and looked at Pado. They wanted to stop him, but they were powerless and could only watch Pado move forward.

At this moment, the branches of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers began to spread, trying to stop Pado Qianjie's steps.

As the branches approached, Padu's entire arm was corroded and turned black.

"Get out of my way!!!" Padu placed his hands directly on the branches, peeled them away from in front of him, and continued to move forward. Every time he peeled off a branch, the erosion on Padu's body became more serious.

At this time, Pado turned around and looked at Yi and his group again. The determination in his eyes stimulated Yi and his group.

When Padu looked back again, the road in front of her was blocked and covered with branches, making it difficult for her to see the direction to go.

"Please give me a hand... Desdobia... and... Sister Ellie and Mash!" Paduo said with a smile on her face. Then, Paduo took a step forward. A staircase appeared in the air where there was nothing, and a ball of light appeared in front of her, guiding Paduo forward.

Slowly, Pado's figure was submerged by the branches, making it difficult for Yi and others to see Pado clearly.

"Return immediately! Defeat the Ruler of the End!" Kevin stepped forward and said, "This is the opportunity that Padu fought for us!"

Afterwards, everyone understood Padu's sacrifice and returned to the Moonlight Throne to make final preparations for the expedition against the Ruler of the End.

And Pado finally came to the Imaginary Number Tree. She pressed down on the Imaginary Number Tree with one hand, but before she could do that, her right hand was turned to ashes under the erosion of the huge Honkai energy. Then her left eye disappeared, and then her right leg. Pado lost her balance and fell directly in front of the Imaginary Number Tree.

"It's over..." Padu fell to the ground, her life force fading under the erosion of Honkai energy. She looked at the tree in front of her and said slowly, "No... It's not over yet... I can't fall like this..."

With strong willpower, Paduo supported her body and climbed towards the tree of imaginary numbers. Although the branches behind her entangled her and prevented her from moving forward, they could not stop Paduo's determination.

Finally, Paduo arrived in front of the tree, and countless branches wrapped Paduo like a dumpling.

"My name is Padu Phyllis!!!" Padu roared, and a surging feeling came over her. Padu knew that it was called unwillingness! After all, she was also a hero, how could it end like this!

Padu stretched her left hand out from the branch and stretched it forward, finally successfully touching the tree of imaginary numbers. She roared, "Hero with the name of [Empty Dream]! This is my choice as a mortal!!!"

At the moment of touching the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, Prometheus rushed directly along Padu's hand towards the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, froze the appearance of the Herrscher, and directly turned the closed-book exam of the next civilization into an open-book exam, and also cut off a branch of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

The moment Padu touched the Imaginary Tree, he turned into dust and disappeared into the imaginary space...

What is greatness? It is to stand up for more people even though you know you will sacrifice yourself.

Although Padua Felice was timid, afraid of death, lazy and greedy, she took a brave step forward when facing the end, showing her choice as an ordinary person and her stubbornness as an ordinary person.

Being a mortal man, he performed heroic deeds, that's Padufils.

This is Padufils! The warrior who bears the name of [Empty Dream]!
