I am Möbius's sister.

The Third Herrscher, who had been slumped on the ground, struggled to her feet once more. Even as her breath began to wane rapidly, she did not give up.

Looking at the Third Herrscher's incredible resilience, Sirin felt a chill run down her spine. Was this guy a cockroach reincarnated? How could he be so resilient and still not die?

It seems that only by removing her core can she be brought to the brink of death. With this thought in mind, Sirin snapped her fingers, and a portal appeared on each side of the Third Herrscher. From inside the portals, several smaller imaginary hands reached out and wrapped around the Third Herrscher's body, binding her in mid-air.

The Third Herrscher did not struggle. She lowered her head and remained silent, purple blood dripping from her wounds to the ground. Her aura had dropped to its lowest point.

Sirin flew toward the Third Herrscher. In her perception, the Third Herrscher had lost the ability to resist. The outburst just now was her last moment of glory. She didn't even have the strength to activate her powers anymore.

As Sirin approached the Third Herrscher, she suddenly heard a voice, a strange murmur, and the source of the voice was the Third Herrscher not far away.

This strange murmur sounded like a prayer, and the object of this prayer was the so-called god, which is the will of collapse.

Although a fully evolved Herrscher can communicate with the will of Honkai, the current Third Herrscher is already at its limit, so praying now is probably useless.

Celine frowned slightly, feeling puzzled, but she continued walking.

When Sirin reached the Third Herrscher and placed her hand on her abdomen, the imaginary hands binding the Third Herrscher suddenly collapsed, and Sirin's hand was tightly gripped by the Third Herrscher's hand. Sirin tried to pull her hand away, but no matter what she did, she could not free it.

"Got...you...go to hell!" The Third Herrscher attacked Sirin's abdomen with her hand as a claw. When Sirin prepared to mobilize her powers to defend herself, she found that she could not mobilize her powers. It was as if she was being suppressed by some kind of force, especially her Herrscher core, which was as if it had been plugged.

However, even with Sirin's full effort, she still managed to summon an imaginary barrier before the Third Herrscher's attack arrived. When the Third Herrscher's hand made contact with the imaginary barrier, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

Although the Imaginary Barrier failed to stop the Third Herrscher, her attack still landed on Sirin's abdomen and passed through it, but she no longer had the strength to remove the core. After Sirin realized what was happening, she immediately grabbed the Third Herrscher's hand, twisted it off, and threw it aside.

Sirin, who had suffered a severe abdominal injury, looked up breathlessly at the Third Herrscher, who was screaming in agony because her arm had been twisted. What exactly was this power that could suppress the authority of a Herrscher? Could it be the power of the Honkai Will? Sirin clutched her abdomen, trying to pull her other hand out of the Third Herrscher's grasp, but to no avail.

The Third Herrscher, slumped on the ground, somehow found the strength to still hold onto her tightly.

"How did you do that! How can you still use your powers after your Herrscher core was suppressed!" The Third Herrscher roared, her eyes filled with resentment. If that attack hadn't been blocked by the Imaginary Number Barrier, she would have been able to severely injure Sirin.

Just as Xilin was about to speak, her heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of crisis rose from the bottom of her heart. She looked up at the sky and saw several objects that looked like bombs flying towards her through the thick clouds. However, Xilin knew that they were not ordinary bombs, because ordinary bombs could not possibly give her such a strong sense of crisis.

That sense of crisis represented a threat that could kill her! There was only one truth: those dangerous weapons were—Honkai energy fission bombs! Only such a high-risk weapon could evoke such a strong sense of crisis in her.

This is a big problem! Sirin couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. Fortunately, only two of these Honkai energy fission bombs were targeting her, while the others were aimed at different areas of Changkong City.

Although there were only two, they were still enough to make Sirin feel a deadly threat.

At this moment, it wasn't just Sirin who felt this threat; the Third Herrscher beside her also did.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: There must still be a way!

"This is a human weapon, isn't it? It seems they've already abandoned you. You're a discarded pawn." The Third Herrscher looked up at the sky and let out a disdainful chuckle.

Faced with the Third Herrscher's merciless mockery, Sirin remained silent, for she understood that it was the truth, a chilling truth nonetheless: humanity had abandoned her.

Although she felt a sense of loss, as if she had been abandoned and kicked while she was down, Sirin wasn't really sad. Her initial motivation for fighting wasn't for humanity, but for the people around her. As long as the people around her were safe, she didn't have anything to be sad about. However... she was still a little annoyed.

At this moment, the Third Herrscher, who was slumped on the ground, grinned coldly and said to Sirin beside her, "Humanity has abandoned you. They have already treated you as a discarded pawn. Is it still worth serving them? Join the embrace of the gods! At least the gods will never abandon you."

Sirin glanced at the Third Herrscher and coldly refused, "Sorry, the so-called god you speak of only sees you as a pawn. I will not submit to your so-called god. As for serving, my initial motivation for fighting was not for humanity. How can I serve humanity? It's just that the most important person to me is on the side of humanity."

"Hehehe—" Upon hearing this, the Third Herrscher trembled slightly and chuckled. Then, her laughter abruptly stopped, and a cold voice rang in Sirin's ears, "Then you can die with me under human weapons!"

As soon as the Third Herrscher finished speaking, Sirin felt her power being suppressed even more severely. This time, it wasn't just her Herrscher core that was suppressed, but also all the cells in her body. Her Honkai energy recovery speed decreased, and she could hardly mobilize her power.

Feeling the approaching threat from the sky, a slightly panicked Sirin grabbed the Third Herrscher's last remaining arm, intending to break it off again to free herself from the suppression of her authority and open a portal to escape before the attack from the sky arrived.

"I won't let you break free! You'll die with me!" The Third Herrscher, with only one arm left, continued to fight fiercely against Sirin, preventing her from escaping. Sirin, whose authority was suppressed, was unable to use her Herrscher powers to break off the Third Herrscher's arm and could only use brute force to achieve this goal.

At this moment, Sirin suddenly felt like she was a villain being dragged along by the protagonist, with the intention of dying together. But Sirin didn't care about that anymore. Whether she was a villain or not, as long as she could survive, that was all that mattered.

However, what troubled Sirin was that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break the Third Herrscher's arm or pull her hand out of the Third Herrscher's grasp. The place where Sirin was held had turned purplish-blue, which showed how strong the force was. If it were an ordinary person, their hand would probably have been broken long ago.

The threat from the sky was getting closer and closer, and alarm bells were ringing in Celine's mind. There were only a few dozen seconds left. If she couldn't break free and leave this place within these few dozen seconds, she would really die here!

Die in the Third Honkai Impact? What a joke! She doesn't want to! There are still so many things left undone, so many wonders she hasn't fully experienced. How could she possibly stop here?

There must be a way, there must be a way...

Celine's brain was racing, but time was running out; she didn't even have half a minute left.

That's it! That item! At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Sirin. She immediately summoned the item [100% chance of catching a blade barehanded] and slashed at the Third Herrscher.

Just as she expected, the Third Herrscher, which had been gripping her hand like an iron clamp, suddenly released its grip and slapped the blade of the sword in her hand. However, since the Third Herrscher was now only one arm, it could not close its arm, so the special effect could not be triggered, and it only knocked the blade off course.

The gleaming sword struck the Third Herrscher's shoulder and became stuck there, preventing Sirin from pulling it out for a short time.

There are only seven seconds left before the Honkai Energy Fission Bomb arrives, which is not enough for Sirin to locate the distant location and teleport herself there.

How to do?How to do?

Celine's face was covered in cold sweat from nervousness.

A second passed...

Two seconds passed...

At that last moment, an idea popped into Celine's mind.

She'll escape into the imaginary space! Using space as a shield—that's what she excels at!

In an instant, Sirin tore through space, creating an imaginary space in the last few seconds, and quickly disappeared into it as the attack arrived. As for the sword, Sirin naturally left it outside. With her life about to be lost, why should she care about those material possessions?

At the same time, four small suns rose in the four directions of Changkong City, and mushroom clouds shot into the sky. The two Honkai energy fission bombs also exploded at this moment.

The earth shook violently, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the violent explosion engulfed the Third Herrscher on the ground. The scorching temperature turned the rubble on the ground into lava.

The explosion of six Honkai energy fission bombs unleashed a raging storm, illuminating the darkness of Changkong City and completely erasing the city from the earth's surface. The mushroom cloud that shot into the sky pushed aside the thick thunderclouds, drowning out the rumbling thunder.

Along with the city, hundreds of thousands of Honkai Beasts also vanished. Under the scorching 'scorching sun,' no matter how powerful the Honkai Beast was, it all turned to ashes.

Towering skyscrapers have been reduced to ruins, and once magnificent houses have been razed to the ground. This is the power of human technology, the ultimate weapon.

Even those on the Fire Moth side, who were within a safe range, couldn't help but close their eyes because of the blinding light in the distance. The shockwave whipped up a fierce wind that raged through their positions, but fortunately, having received advance warning, they were already fully armed and were not greatly affected.

The only one present who hadn't closed her eyes was Alicia. Her beautiful eyes reflected the destroyed Changkong City. As Changkong City was destroyed, Alicia's heart clenched. Would a beautiful girl like Sirin perish in this attack? Even a Herrscher would have difficulty surviving such a powerful attack.

What an... ugly way to die... How could such a beautiful girl like Sirin die like this?

Alicia sighed helplessly, but she still hadn't given up hope.

Meanwhile, Möbius, who was still conducting experiments in his laboratory, felt his heart beat faster and a strange feeling rose in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

Standing there stunned for a long time, Möbius placed the test tube in her hand on the test tube rack, clutched her chest, listened to her increasingly rapid heartbeat, and remained silent. Why did she suddenly feel so uneasy? What had happened?

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Third Collapse Ends

At this very moment, Sirin, who was in the imaginary space, was desperately urging her powers to close the passage between reality and the imaginary space. She hadn't had time to close the passage before the Honkai energy fission bomb exploded.

The immense energy caused the passage, which hadn't been completely closed yet, to be torn open again. The violent energy outside made Sirin feel a deadly threat, so she frantically activated her power to fight against the external energy, trying to close the passage.

The wound in her abdomen was being torn open by Sirin's full use of her powers, and blood was dripping continuously. The intense pain made Sirin's small body tremble slightly, but she still did not stop, because she knew that if she did not close the passage, she would really be in big trouble.

The surging energy outside was constantly impacting the thin spatial barrier, seemingly about to break it at any moment. However, with Sirin fully activating her powers to resist, the spatial barrier only trembled violently without cracking. Instead, it was constantly being strengthened.

After a long while, Sirin finally closed the passage, and Sirin lay exhausted on the ground of the imaginary space. She clutched the wound in her abdomen, panting softly, large beads of sweat sliding down her forehead. It was finally over...

With such a powerful attack, the Third Herrscher, already half-dead, probably won't survive. This battle was truly difficult. Without those items, Sirin really doesn't know how she could have won. She might have ended up perishing together with the Third Herrscher.

Those props were a great help to her, but she left the [100% guaranteed to be caught bare-handed] outside. She wondered if it was alright under such an attack, or if anything was left. The thought that this very useful prop might have been blown to pieces made Xilin feel a little heartbroken.

However, she cared more about her life than the loss of the props, so she didn't grieve for long.

After lying down for a while and feeling that she had regained some strength, Xilin sat up from the ground, clutching her abdominal wound. She was exhausted. Overusing her powers, the continuous battles, and her injuries made her feel like her body wasn't even her own anymore; she was completely powerless.

This is especially true when you are relaxed.

Looking at the empty imaginary space, Sirin sighed, wondering how Alicia and her sister were doing. She must be very worried about her, since as important figures within the Firemoth Council, they couldn't possibly have made this decision without informing them.

The explosions outside probably won't end anytime soon; it'll likely take a while longer. Those were six Honkai energy fission bombs! I should take a nap and rest for a bit, and also help heal my injuries.

Thinking this, Sirin lay down on the ground of the imaginary space again and closed her eyes. Although lying like this was not very comfortable, Sirin, who was extremely tired, fell asleep very easily.

Outside, although the Third Herrscher was protected by the will of Honkai, it was still unable to reverse the decline. Its last line of defense was on the verge of collapse and was eventually broken. The remaining power of the explosion completely engulfed the Third Herrscher.

……

Time passed quickly. When the aftereffects of the Honkai energy fission bomb dissipated, Changkong City, which had once stood here, had become a ruin and was razed to the ground.

The ruins were filled with intense Honkai energy radiation, which was extremely deadly to ordinary people; anyone who came into contact with it would be infected instantly.

In the dark sky that was once shrouded in thunderclouds, a few rays of sunlight pierced through the gaps in the clouds, seemingly marking the arrival of light and the cessation of the third collapse.

In the former city center of Changkong City, the severely injured Third Herrscher was slowly crawling on the ground with her one arm. Thanks to the protection of the Honkai Will, she miraculously survived the incredibly powerful explosion, but at the cost of losing her connection with the Honkai Will.

She was like a small boat adrift at sea, utterly desperate. She could no longer hear God's words, nor was she protected by God. At this moment, she was on the verge of death.

At this moment, she was slowly crawling in one direction, towards the Honkai energy source created after the Honkai energy fission bomb exploded. As long as she could obtain the high concentration of Honkai energy from that Honkai energy source, she would be able to survive.

That place...that place...as long as I can get to that place!

As the Third Herrscher drew closer to the source of Honkai, the eerie smile on her face grew increasingly terrifying.

Just then, a roaring engine sound came from afar, and a completely black car sped towards the Third Herrscher. Before the Third Herrscher could react, the car had already overtaken her.

Then the car executed a beautiful drift and came to a stop not far away. A pink-haired woman with smiling eyes stepped out of the car, and her playful and cute voice rang in the Third Herrscher's ears: "Oh dear~ I'm sorry, I caught you. Are you alright~?"

The Third Herrscher was about to speak angrily when she realized that due to her severe injuries, she felt a sharp pain in her throat and chest, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"Why aren't you saying anything? If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes~? If you have nothing else to say, just fire an arrow, that'll make things happen." The pink-haired woman stood in front of the Third Herrscher, looking at her with a beaming smile.

The pink-haired woman was Alicia. She had initially detected an active Herrscher in the city center and assumed it was Sirin. However, when she excitedly ran over there, she found that she couldn't even spot Sirin. Instead, she encountered a half-dead Third Herrscher.

"Lady Alicia! Stop wasting time talking to her! Quickly kill the Third Herrscher and take her remains away. The Honkai energy radiation here is too high. Even if your Honkai energy resistance is far superior to that of ordinary people, you can't stay here any longer!" Inside the black car, a driver wearing full protective gear kept urging Alicia on, his words extremely urgent.

"I know, I know, I'll send her on her way." Alicia waved her hand and turned her gaze back to the Third Herrscher on the ground.

The once arrogant and glorious Third Herrscher has now fallen into such a miserable state, which makes one feel the impermanence of life.

Although the Third Herrscher is also a beautiful girl, that doesn't mean Alicia will go easy on her.

Alicia took a deep breath, squatted down, put on the special isolation gloves, and reached her hand towards the Third Herrscher's abdomen, trying to take out the Third Herrscher's core. But as she touched it, she touched a large hole, which must have been caused by Sirin's attack. This saved her from having to open another hole to take the core.

But... Sirin... where are you now?

The Third Herrscher began to struggle violently. Faced with the fear of death, no one could remain calm, but her struggle was in vain. Her core was ultimately taken away by Alicia.

After losing her core, the Third Herrscher's injuries, no longer suppressed by the core, began to erupt. Moments later, the body was devoid of life. Her expression was incredibly ferocious, her eyes wide open, and she died with regret and resentment.

The Third Herald: Death.

Thus, the Third Honkai Impact officially came to an end, with only the cleansing of its effects remaining.
