Do you think this world is serious?

Chapter 195: Acquire a new "Colombiana" named Revy.

Before becoming the leader of the Knights of the Apocalypse Plague, Revy was a doctor who saved lives during the Black Death, but due to her lack of ability, she could only watch helplessly as her patients died.

She later received an invitation from the Church of Destiny and joined the Knights of Apocalypse, becoming the leader of the Plague Knights.

It was Levi's involvement that caused Schicksal to change its attitude towards treating patients, and instead began to treat them and conduct research on the Black Death caused by the Honkai.

— Prior to this, the Mandate of Heaven had always upheld a tyrannical policy of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

The Knights of Apocalypse, to which Revy belongs, are not responsible for combat, but for researching ways to eliminate and control the Honkai.

Through her tireless efforts, she finally extracted the "Honkai" crystals from the corpse, marking the first time that humans had truly extracted "Honkai" crystals.

At the same moment, Revy's mind was instantly eroded by the "Honkai," and her priorities changed from "saving lives" to "completely eliminating the Honkai."

Later, based on the ancient records deciphered by "Increasedine," the leader of the Knights of Apocalypse Famine, she recreated an item called the "Box of God" based on the crystallization of "Honkai".

After the birth of the [Box of Gods], she used the reputation of Schicksal to gather most of the residents, infected them with Honkai energy, and then killed them to turn them into resources for the [Box of Gods].

At this point, Revy's mind was completely "broken" and twisted, and she began to slaughter the city's residents in a fanatical and insane manner, all to support the [Box of God].

This is both Levi's experience and the origin of this dead city.

Now that she has regained her sanity by suppressing the Honkai energy within her body with the power of the Saintess, Revy faces her own actions. Her mind, already riddled with holes from the "Honkai" corruption, is on the verge of collapse under the influence of guilt.

"Thanks……"

Levi was dejected. After thanking him, she earnestly pleaded, "Please kill me."

Levi wanted to atone for the sins of the residents she had killed, so she wanted to atone with her death and wash away her past sins with her own death.

Chen Xiuming only needed to think for a moment based on Levi's experience to guess Levi's thoughts.

“Death does not atone for sins; it is an escape.”

Chen Xiuming's words reached Levi's ears, causing her to pause slightly and drift off into thought.

Then, Chen Xiuming gently stroked Lei Wei's face, causing her to subconsciously look up at him.

"The past cannot be undone, but the future can still be changed—Levi, are you willing to change the future with me and completely end the Honkai?"

A warm smile played on Chen Xiuming's lips. The dazzling yet not glaring sunlight shone on his face, adding a touch of divinity to his already handsome features, leaving Levi momentarily stunned.

"Can I... really do this?"

Levi's lips trembled slightly, uttering a murmur that sounded like both doubt and trepidation.

Chen Xiuming responded affirmatively: "Of course! I will assist you and support you unconditionally."

"No, that's not right..."

Revie's thoughts seemed somewhat confused. "It shouldn't be like this—I should be the one assisting you in completely ending the Honkai!"

"As long as you can figure it out."

Chen Xiuming didn't care whether he assisted Levi or Levi assisted him, as long as he could dispel Levi's suicidal thoughts.

Knowing deeply about Revy's past, he was well aware of the decisions Revy made after regaining her sanity in Honkai Impact 2.

— He suffered a mental breakdown and then self-destructed to pave the way for others.

Immediately, Chen Xiuming controlled the Honkai energy chains to keep Levi standing.

Unsure whether Revy could maintain her sanity after the suppression of the Saintess's power was lifted, Chen Xiuming did not directly release the Honkai Energy Chains. Instead, he tried to control the Saintess's power contained within the Honkai Energy Chains to flow into Revy's body.

These saintly powers were originally Chen Xiuming's own, so he accomplished this task with ease.

The power of the saintess gathered on Revy's body, forming special patterns that steadily suppressed the Honkai energy within Revy's body.

Perhaps the location of the pattern is not quite right, causing what is clearly a proper pattern to have a somewhat improper meaning.

—The lines are located on Levi's lower abdomen.

After confirming that the pattern was very stable, Chen Xiuming tried to release the Honkai energy chains.

"What is your name?"

The Honkai energy was sealed by the power of the Saintess, and Revy lost most of her power as a result.

Although she felt weaker than ever before, she felt no unease or fear about losing her strength; instead, she was filled with a deep sense of security.

At least, she doesn't have to worry about falling into madness again and causing all sorts of trouble.

"Chen Xiuming".

As soon as the words were spoken, Chen Xiuming introduced Cecilia, Moonlit Embrace, Alaya Consciousness, and Wendy one by one.

Levi nodded slightly, then looked at Wendy in silence.

Although her mind was previously "broken down" and twisted, and she was in a state of madness, it doesn't mean that she didn't have memories of that time.

She wasn't exactly familiar with Wendy, this "devil," but she wasn't a complete stranger either.

Previously, when Revy encountered Wendy, she would occasionally try to attack her, but Wendy would easily defeat her.

If Wendy hadn't never harbored murderous intent, Revy wouldn't be alive today.

"I can't solve your health problem right now; it may take some time."

Chen Xiuming can suppress Revy's Honkai energy, thus helping Revy regain her sanity, but he cannot remove the "Honkai" from Revy's mind.

Alaya consciousness might be able to find a solution to this problem, but it will take time to calculate feasible methods.

Levi shook her head gently and said, "It's alright, I'm already very satisfied that I've regained my sanity."

As a medical professional, Revy doesn't actually value ability too much.

Being able to restore one's strength and no longer be eroded by "Honkai" is certainly a good thing. If one needs to be in a state where Honkai energy is suppressed, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

When the Honkai crystals were separated, Revy was just a frail mortal.

Allowing the body to accept Honkai energy and continuously grow stronger is actually something that happens after the mind has been eroded by "Honkai." Revy herself is not obsessed with pursuing power.

Rather than striving to become stronger, she actually longs to practice medicine and help the world.

"Chen Xiuming...Sir, are you interested in the [Box of Gods]?"

Levi hesitated for a second, but ultimately decided to add a respectful title to Chen Xiuming's name.

Chen Xiuming keenly noticed this, but instead of wasting words correcting him, he asked in return, "The Box of God is still in your hands?"

"The Box of God was placed in the central square of this city, continuously spreading the plague, which is why there are no living creatures in this city."

The plague that engulfs the entire city will not only infect humans, but will also kill all kinds of animals and insects, and then turn them into food for the casket of gods.

Chapter 196 Ethereal Singularity [The Box of God]

Although Chen Xiuming knew about the item "God's Box", the "God's Box" in "Honkai Impact 3rd" and "Honkai Gakuen 2" are essentially two different items.

The former, the "Box of Gods," is a black box that seals the "Herrscher of Corruption" from the pre-civilization era, while the latter is a pure Honkai energy item.

As for its specific function...

Since it wasn't mentioned in Honkai Impact 2, Chen Xiuming didn't know what the [God's Box] did.

Seemingly noticing Chen Xiuming's confusion, Levi took the initiative to explain: "I don't know much about the Box of Gods. I only know that it is the key to solving 'Honkai' and can absorb the Honkai energy contained in corpses."

In Levi's memory, the capacity of the God's Box was almost infinite, as if it could absorb any amount of Honkai energy, yet it was also like a "miser," unable to extract the Honkai energy it had already absorbed.

In addition, some of the characteristics of the God's Box seem to be linked to the absorbed Honkai energy.

The Honkai energy absorbed by the Box of God all originated from the "Black Death" period, which caused the Box of God to continuously release "plague," indiscriminately infecting and killing living things within a certain range.

“Lord Chen Xiuming, the God's Box is extremely hard. As far as I know, no attack can destroy it.”

Let alone destroying the God Box, even leaving a clear mark on its surface is difficult to achieve; at least, Revy has never seen anyone do it.

Even Wendy's attack could not leave a clear and visible mark on the surface of the God Box.

—Levy once tried to use the Box of God to block an attack.

The God Box itself is actually a cube slightly larger than a fist. Although it can block all attacks, this only applies to the God Box itself and cannot help the person holding the God Box block the attacks.

Which direction is the square in?

Chen Xiuming seemed to be deep in thought. This characteristic of the God's Box reminded him of things that were unique to each world bubble.

—【Etheric Singularity】.

Each world bubble has a different ether singularity, but as long as it is an object-type ether singularity, it is indestructible and has a Honkai energy capacity equivalent to the total Honkai energy within the world bubble.

"I'll lead the way for you."

Since the city became a "ghost town," Levy has been wandering around the city and can be said to know it like the back of her hand.

Chen Xiuming nodded slightly and followed in Levi's footsteps to the city square.

As Honkai energy was suppressed, Revy's physical condition plummeted. She could walk at a speed not much faster than an ordinary person, and her stamina also became very poor. She needed to stop and rest every now and then.

Now, Revy seems to have returned to the frail doctor who once saved lives, not only regaining her frail physique but also regaining a touch of gentleness in her demeanor.

The group walked and stopped frequently, and it took them nearly two hours to reach the square where the Box of God was located.

In the center of the empty square stands a dark purple stone pillar, which looks like it is made up of a large number of prismatic crystals, making its surface look pitted and uneven.

At the top of the stone pillar, a pitch-black cube floats.

Levi pointed to the black cube floating at the top of the stone pillar and introduced it to Chen Xiuming: "That is the God's Box."

"Ah."

Chen Xiuming nodded slightly and then stepped towards the stone pillar.

Seemingly sensing Chen Xiuming's purpose, the God's Box suddenly emitted a dark purple light, and in an instant, thick black mist surged forth, sweeping towards Chen Xiuming, Cecilia, and the others.

"Honey, be careful."

Cecilia couldn't help but speak up to remind Chen Xiuming, while simultaneously activating the power of death to prevent the black mist from getting closer.

Chen Xiuming waved his hand silently and continued walking towards the stone pillar.
