Chapter 44 The World on the Verge of Collapse
……
This kind of "near destruction" is not like the end of the world, not like the imagined collapse of the earth and the collapse of tall buildings. Rather, it is as if a model of the earth is being crushed by a pair of giant hands. In some places, the continent is diagonally inserted into another continent; in some places, the world is turned upside down, with the void underfoot and the earth in the sky; in some places, it is broken into a spider web, with deep cracks that seem to lead directly to the earth's core.
Black Seele used her power to protect the two of them, quickly passing through vast stretches of ruined landscape, and arrived at a relatively intact piece of land, landing at the location indicated by the signal she had received.
Right here, there stands a tall tower, and a petite, white-haired girl in a bishop's robe watches over the core of the tower.
"Theresa?"
Yun Fuyu couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Black Seele glanced at him, not paying much attention, assuming that he had seen Theresa in his world (in Black Seele's eyes, since Seele exists, it is naturally the world bubble of the current civilization).
Upon landing, Black Seele said directly to Theresa, "Tell me about the current situation while there's still time!"
The elderly white-haired loli was slightly taken aback, then immediately put on a serious expression and said in a sweet voice, "Just three hours ago, our world suddenly collided with something strange. From that moment on, the world suddenly began to shatter from the edges and then gradually spread to the core."
"The researchers at Schicksal believe that it may have encountered a 'rule-based' power, and only a massive amount of Honkai energy can temporarily delay this fragmentation. However, this delay is more like reducing the speed of destruction by increasing the mass of the world, which is only a temporary solution."
“We sent out a lot of distress signals to the Sea of Quanta, but the effect was limited due to the turbulence of time and space. You are the first and only person from another world to arrive here.”
Black Seele nodded, suddenly recalling the strange feeling she had experienced before arriving—she felt as if an enormous thing was roaming in front of her, and she should avoid touching it if possible. Although Black Seele was tempted to take the risk, the feeling vanished in the next instant.
What exactly was it? Could it be related to what Theresa just said about "bumping into something strange"?
However, now is not the time to think about that. After understanding the current situation, Hei Xier told Theresa what she needed to do, and instructed Yun Fuyu and Xier not to move around, and immediately began to sense the state of the world.
She is at least an "adopted daughter of the sea," possessing rather wondrous abilities.
Theresa could only trust her and continue to use the large amount of Honkai crystals stored by Destiny to delay the destruction of the world, taking a moment to look at Yun Fuyu and Seele.
Yun Fuyu immediately raised his hand: "We are just conscripts passing by, and there is really nothing we can do to help."
To be honest, Yun Fuyu was even a little annoyed. She had been inexplicably brought into this dying world by Hei Xier. What if something really went wrong?
Theresa regretfully looked away.
Seele keenly sensed Yun Fuyu's emotions, gently tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to lower his head and whisper in his ear, "I have a strange feeling that the destruction of this world is related to us... no, it should be said that it is not only related to us, but also related to us."
Yun Fuyu instantly understood: "Our world caused the destruction of this world? But that's too strange! The pre-civilization world was undoubtedly the intrinsic world on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, so how could it affect the world bubble?"
Seele: "I don't know either, it's just a feeling, don't overthink it."
Yun Fuyu was indeed overthinking things, but as soon as she thought of Alicia, and knew that the world with Alicia was undoubtedly the original civilization, her overthinking dissipated.
A little while later, Hei Xi'er finally woke up, her face as solemn as ink, which made everyone present feel a chill.
Theresa's voice trembled slightly: "W-how is it?"
Black Seele was silent for a moment, then said, "Very bad, extremely bad. The destruction of the world has entered a chain reaction state, and it will continue to collapse even without external forces. With my power, it is impossible to reverse this trend."
Theresa's face darkened, but she gritted her teeth and said, "We won't give up!..."
Black Seele hesitated for a moment, then finally just sighed.
If her idiot Seele had come with her, perhaps there would still be a 30% chance that this world could be saved. But Seele is busy right now, and by the time she receives the message and gets here, this world will have long since been reduced to dust in the sea.
She turned to look at Yun Fuyu and Xier, about to say something else, when suddenly her eyes lit up!
Who says Seele from other worlds isn't Seele? Black Seele's power alone isn't enough to save this world, but the combined power of two Seeles is at least worth a try! And it seems this Seele is the kind of "kind-hearted" but foolish Seele who can be of the greatest use!
Black Seele grabbed Seele's arm and said quickly, "Seele, do me a favor, let's try to save this world!"
Xi'er showed slight resistance to her actions, but no aversion to her request. Yun Fuyu asked from the side, "Wait, is there any danger?"
Black Seele: "No! You idiot, how could I bear to let Seele... cough, stop talking nonsense!"
How could she bear to let Seele take such a risk?
Black Seele explained to Seele what to do next. In short, it was to transfer Black Seele's power to Seele, and have Seele use a special Honkai energy operation method in the hope of reversing or slowing down the collapse of the world.
Seele nodded: "I understand, let's get started."
When it comes to the survival of an entire world, how could Seele refuse to contribute when her own safety is not threatened?
With Black Seele's help, she ascended to the sky, broadening her horizons and taking in the "Earth continent" within the World Bubble, before unleashing her power domain.
The Herrscher of Death's domain resonated exceptionally well with Black Seele's power, instantly covering the entire World Bubble and resonating with the "Aetheric Singularity" in the subspace, which was the core of the World Bubble. Black Seele glanced at Seele, somewhat puzzled by her power, but didn't ask any questions for the moment. Instead, she followed her instincts to "reclaim" and "replenish" the world.
The World Bubble is far more fragile than the original World; the power of a normal Herrscher is enough to shake the world. Seele's current state is self-evident, but this Black Seele, who has transcended the End, possesses power that is by no means inferior to that of an ordinary Herrscher.
As they moved, the collapse of the world bubble ceased. To Theresa's astonishment, scattered traces of matter flowed back into the distance, and the cracks in the earth outside the tower gradually closed…
"puff!"
suddenly!
Yun Fuyu, who was standing next to Theresa, suddenly turned pale and vomited large amounts of blood clots from his throat! Theresa panicked for a moment, but didn't know what had happened.
Xier...
