Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

A deafening roar filled his ears, and the road in front of him was blocked by smoke, dust, and broken building materials.

Before Su Qing'an could even process his emotions, the enormous creature he saw through the smoke and dust made him realize the current situation.

This is a hellish mode on the verge of death.

Compared to the sheer numbers of the Rush-class, and even the massive size of the Temple-class, they are far more terrifying and invincible.

That was a power that completely surpassed that of lower-ranking Honkai Beasts.

Emperor-class Honkai Beast, Ganesha.

What shattered the darkness and tranquility of this underground waterway was this colossal beast, so enormous that it inspired no thought of resistance.

Its appearance suggests it is a species similar to a white elephant and a wild boar, but it is far larger and more dangerous.

In the double collapse that erupted from activating the Herrscher core, it is not incomprehensible that such a monster would be born.

There was no time to lament his bad luck; the existence of an Emperor-level Honkai Beast was far beyond his ability to cope.

Escape. Without any hesitation, as soon as the behemoth broke through the incredibly hard and thick upper layer of ground and appeared in front of Su Qing'an, he turned and fled.

Ganesha's size meant it wouldn't be very fast, but even at its slowest speed, it was still much faster than a normal human running.

Just as a human can leap over an ant's hundreds of steps in a single stride, the effect on Ganesha is naturally not as exaggerated, but the principle is essentially the same.

Because Japan is prone to earthquakes and has a long rainy season that causes frequent floods, decades ago, whenever there was a heavy rain, the entire city would be covered in mud.

Flooding disrupts urban traffic, shuts down businesses, and can even lead to serious safety accidents in severe cases.

As a result, Japan's underground drainage system is now so massive that it resembles a huge underground castle.

Such a massive scale of construction is standard in every city in Japan.

The same applies to Changkong City, so even with Ganesha's size, she can move her body freely without restraint. Even with the Honkai energy enhancing her physical abilities, Su Qing'an's speed is far inferior to Kawasaki H2R.

The human body has its limits. If Kawasaki H2R were by his side, he would be confident that he could outrun Ganesha by understanding the terrain.

But now, in just a few steps, Ganesha's fangs had already approached Su Qing'an's back. With the power of an Emperor-level Honkai Beast, once it touched him, his death was practically guaranteed.

When body size becomes a disadvantage, the right choices can turn it into an advantage to some extent.

Su Qing'an nimbly dodged around the supporting pillar, while Ganesha, rushing towards them, was unable to dodge due to the kinetic energy caused by his enormous inertia.

The fangs pierced the supporting pillar with ease, and Ganesha's head followed, breaking off a part of this world-class engineering project in just a few seconds.

A large number of collapsed rocks crashed down on Ganesha, but to this terrifying behemoth, it was as if a few specks of dust had fallen on its body, and it was completely unharmed.

As expected, Su Qing'an leaped out, his body shifting to the side as he jumped, unleashing the [Calming Wave] sword in his right hand. He used all the Honkai energy he could control to condense a ring-shaped sword wave.

The burst of sword wave vibrations sent all the nearby rocks flying.

"Bang!" The kinetic energy released from the collision created a gust of air that propelled Su Qing'an forward, and in just a moment he had created distance between himself and Ganisara.

This is the Guardian Sword within the form and essence of the Taixu Sword Qi.

With each precise manipulation of Honkai energy, Kenshin gradually approaches the realm of purity.

At such a cost, he was already able to use the Guardian Sword in its early stages, and even the force of the airflow caused by the overflowing Honkai energy was practiced and calculated in his mind in advance, so that he could use it perfectly in reality.

Not only in terms of physical control, but also as the heart lake began to freeze, the control over Honkai energy became increasingly refined.

But that's all there is to it.

Only the weak meticulously calculate their own strength, like farmers cautiously counting next year's harvest in their fields. It is precisely because they are too weak that they need to control every ounce of their power.

True strength doesn't require that.

It doesn't even need to think; its mere forward movement forces the weak to exert all their carefully calculated strength in a desperate and miserable state.

As Su Qing'an expended his energy to unleash his ninth Guardian Sword attack and once again distanced himself from Ganesha, the Emperor-level Honkai Beast seemed to be growing impatient.

It lowered its head, and destructive energy continuously gathered in its mouth.

Sensing the abnormal concentration of Honkai energy behind him, Su Qing'an understood what it wanted to do almost instantly. The moment Ganesha lowered its head, its body rolled to the left.

He skillfully rolled and barely dodged the Honkai energy shockwave that blasted down like a laser.

That won't work.

Controlling his body to continue running, Su Qing'an realized that if he continued in the current situation, he would be caught and killed by Ganesha sooner or later.

So annoying, so annoying, so annoying! Why am I so unlucky? Damn it, damn it, damn it!

I'm so scared, so scared, so scared. Why did they target me? Damn it, damn it, damn it.

Unable to control these surging emotions, he desperately tried to think of a way to escape.

This place is very close to the reservoir located on the outskirts of Nagasora City. If it is the Nagasora City Reservoir, which is said to be the largest in Japan, could it be used to help him escape?

All the city's groundwater will converge here, and the computer will calculate the capacity based on the water flow.

When the capacity reaches the required level, the computer will automatically control the water pump to discharge the water into the sea.

If we calculate the dates, if we were to guide Ganesha to launch an attack like the one just now, causing the water inside to gush out, the resulting kinetic energy would be terrifyingly astonishing.

No! He rejected the idea almost instantly. Even such enormous kinetic energy might not be enough to kill Ganesha, and the city would be destroyed by a massive flood, with most of the buildings submerged and damaged.

Moreover, this was a suicidal move; even if he didn't want to live, he had to consider Kiana and the possibly surviving Sato Yuno.

After a thousand thoughts swirled in my mind, I finally came up with a solution.

However, the conditions required for a complete plan were not available in the sewers, so Su Qing'an began to consciously construct a model of the current route and space in his mind.

While running for his life, his body inevitably suffered injuries from constant extreme movements and building collapses. Large and small bloodstains covered almost his entire body, but with his advanced force-dissipating skills and judgment, these were just ordinary abrasions.

However, with the inevitable loss of blood, his physical strength was also being rapidly depleted.

To achieve a successful escape, other conditions are required first.

A flying pebble grazed the boy's cheek, but ignoring the blood and mess, Su Qing'an adjusted his escape route and headed towards his destination.

37. Escape from Death

Relying solely on bodily functions to escape, Su Qing'an has almost reached her limit in terms of both physical strength to drive her body and mental control to protect herself from the Honkai energy.

The only thing that could help him escape this situation was the Kawasaki H2R that he had hidden. If it weren't for the fact that the car was too noisy and inconvenient to move around in the center of the collapse, he would not have chosen to walk.

The noise might attract more Honkai Beasts to hunt him down, but he couldn't care less about that now. If he couldn't even get past this hurdle, how could he talk about the future?

Moreover, given the threat posed by the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Ganesha, it remains to be seen whether the other Honkai Beasts will intervene.

"Right here." Despite having mentally rehearsed the calculations a thousand times, he couldn't help but feel fear and tension. If the error in his calculations reached a distance of more than fifty meters, he would surely die.

He could not remain indifferent in the face of life and death.

Without hesitation, Su Qing'an calmly anticipated and rolled to dodge Ganesha's direct beam of light. He then used Honkai energy to enhance his physical abilities and leaped forward in an instant.

Almost without pause, Ganesha's second beam cannon aimed directly at Su Qing'an in mid-air and roared out.

As he jumped, he unleashed a wave of sword energy from the [Calming the Waves] sword, forcibly altering his body's orientation in mid-air. He then inserted the sword into a nearby support pillar, suspending his body in mid-air.

However, the boy's actions did not stop. As Ganesha's beam cannon violently demolished the ceiling above his head, almost at the same time, Su Qing'an activated the maximum amount of Honkai energy he could control. As he drew his sword, he unleashed the most unstable sword wave to date.

That was intentional; only by creating such a scene could he escape the underground waterways as quickly as possible while being pursued by Ganesha.

Boom! The violent airflow roared through the heavens and earth, propelling his body. The intense kinetic energy caused him excruciating pain as if his entire body was being torn apart. But as his body surged toward the exit above, Su Qing'an knew that this was far from over.

He used the Guardian Sword Style, and the rotating and vibrating Honkai energy repelled all the falling building debris. His mind became blurred for a moment when he swung the sword.

Su Qing'an realized that he could only unleash a few more sword waves at most, otherwise he might lose consciousness.

In just three seconds, Su Qing'an successfully left the underground sewer.

The moment of life and death had arrived. The boy was propelled into the air by the airflow, about ten meters above the ground. The thrust of the airflow had dissipated, and he looked down at the scene below in the gaps in his field of vision.

It was a small alley.

The error is not significant; that is indeed the place where the Kawasaki H2R was previously placed.

The boy let his body free fall, and only when he was a meter away from the ground did he calmly swing his sword to unleash a weak sword wave. With the help of the calculated force, his body landed almost unharmed in a natural rolling motion.

Without hesitation, Su Qing'an mounted the Kawasaki H2R, turning the key that hadn't been removed.

Seconds later, a noise louder than that of a professional MotoGP race car roared through the dangerous area where assassins and Honkai Beasts roamed. The 170dB noise sounded exceptionally pleasant to his ears at that moment.

The car shot forward like lightning, and Ganesha's roar grew ever closer. The boy disregarded the road conditions and frantically pushed the terrifying horsepower to its limits.

On the small LCD instrument panel inside, the red line of the tachometer on the left has exceeded 10,000 revolutions per minute.

Equipped with a supercharger, the Kawasaki H2R squeezed a massive 310 horsepower from its engine, speeding relentlessly down the street without slowing down.

It is one of the few terrifying motorcycles that can break the 300km/h speed barrier, and even has the ability to break the 400km/h barrier. On the track, it is enough to leave the 1200-horsepower Bugatti supercar king behind forever.

But what was chasing it at that moment was a monster that could not be understood by common sense.

The irrational and mindless monster relentlessly pursued Su Qing'an. Ganesha curled up its massive body and rolled around, powered by Honkai energy, making it several times faster than before.

If it had used such a move earlier, Su Qing'an would have been in an even more difficult situation.

Even the steel beast ridden by the boy couldn't shake off this Emperor-level Honkai Beast. In its ferocious state, all obstacles on the road were as fragile as children's building blocks.

The pure and domineering linear rolling was like a huge drumbeat suppressed in his heart, pounding wildly against his soul.

Fear grew and entangled like seaweed, and in order to maintain the fine motor skills of his body, Su Qing'an could not stop silently reciting the Sword Heart Mantra.

With perfect control of his power, replicating the skills of a professional motorcyclist, Su Qing'an abruptly turned into a narrow alley at extremely high speed. The narrow route meant he couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake.

In just three seconds, the end of the alley came into the boy's view—it was a dead end!

Su Qing'an understood this perfectly. Every choice he made from the very beginning of his encounter with Ganesha was precise and correct; otherwise, he would have been dead long ago.

Having memorized most of the city routes in advance, he naturally wouldn't make such a mistake; in fact, he would only deliberately run towards areas he was familiar with.

This deliberate choice of a dead end is intended to both increase Ganesha's obstacles to his progress and get him closer to his destination.

The front of the car, wrapped in a menacing full carbon fiber kit, was shaped into a rudimentary defensive shield by Honkai energy, which cleanly smashed through the wall at the end of the alley with its immense kinetic energy.

Leaning to the side and lowering the vehicle, the tires traced a graceful arc on the ground as this steel beast drifted and turned without even slowing down.

Hidden within this steel behemoth are numerous small and large winglets. It is thanks to these heavily armed aerodynamic components that it maintains excellent high-speed stability and cornering grip even at speeds exceeding 300 km/h.

During their life-or-death escape, the boy is getting closer and closer to his planned destination.

38. The so-called dead end
