Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

Rather than seeing Jiuxiao successfully save the world, Tianqi would rather see Jiuxiao despair and destroy the world, as this would suit her mood.

The thought of guiding Jiuxiao, the savior who wanted to save everyone, to see the dangers of the world and turn him into a destroyer of the world, and then staining Jiuxiao with the color of apocalypse, made her feel happy just thinking about it.

The trials that Jiuxiao had previously passed should have only required him to withstand the malice. However, Tianqi slightly increased the difficulty of the trials, and during the process, Jiuxiao would gradually forget his memories and beliefs. In other words, it was about making a savior who had forgotten everything face the evil of this world.

Even a person with a strong enough will would have a high chance of being overwhelmed by the evil in this world, let alone a savior who has forgotten everything. Without the support of emotions, even Jiuxiao, the savior, can only be devoured by malice.

Unfortunately, at the last moment, Jiu Xiao recalled the memories, causing Tian Qi to fail in his intervention once again.

"Forget it, let her have some fun. This game is far from over, and her fate won't end here..."

……

"Little mouse, are you alright?!"

Mebius looked at Jiuxiao, who had regained consciousness, and asked, after all, the Honkai energy corrosion just now almost covered Jiuxiao's entire body, but now he seemed to be completely unharmed.

"How could anything happen to me? I am the savior! I won't die until I've saved both worlds!" She smiled slightly, revealing her usual chuunibyou-like smile, just like always. "Leave the rest to me. I hold grudges, so whether it's for Alicia and the others or saving this world, leave it all to me!"

"After all, you can always trust Lord Jiuxiao, and now I truly can do anything!"

Alicia (Memory): "The Savior's girl is the best! Jiuxiao is such a reliable kid, even I'm smitten!"

Jiuxiao: "That's right, you can always trust Lord Jiuxiao. I will definitely save the world in the future, just like I did on the live stream!"

Kiana: "Go Jiuxiao! I support you, but I'll also save this world together!"

Mei: "Count me in!"

Rowling: "If I were included, I could help too."

Bronya: "Bronya counts too."

Himeko: "You guys are really energetic!"

Otto: "This is really interesting, Apocalypse, huh..."

Theresa: "Grandpa, you're not thinking of anything bad, are you?"

Otto: "Little Theresa, you have to believe me, I've always wanted to be a good person."

Tesla: "Hahaha... Otto, you actually want to be a good person? That's hilarious! It's the funniest joke I've heard all year."

Einstein: "Otto, being a good person, I can't imagine that scene."

Chapter 311 The Right and Wrong of Saving the World

Located above Austria in Europe, a series of enormous floating islands stand in the sky. They are the headquarters of Destiny, a vast base constructed from a series of meticulously designed entities based on man-made materials.

The headquarters of Destiny is located on the ninth main island of this group of floating islands, while the other floating islands are named after the nine kingdoms on the World Tree in Norse mythology, based on European mythology.

Of course, this was just the former headquarters of Destiny. Now, because all of humanity has been incorporated into the Stigmata Space by the Stigmata Project, the headquarters of Destiny is now just an empty shell.

Rumble rumble rumble...

An unusual dark cloud appeared inexplicably over Europe, accompanied by astonishing thunder and flashes of blinding silver lightning. Huge thunderstorms exploded across the land, but within a few breaths, large raindrops, like bullets, began to fall like leaves, driven by a sudden gust of wind, pounding heavily against the now-deserted headquarters.

"Destiny?"

As the Alaya consciousness traveled, the enormous spacetime rift reversed space all the way to Destiny. After passing through the imaginary membrane, the Alaya consciousness stepped onto Destiny in a new form from the imaginary space.

But what's strange is that although Alaya consciousness stands in the rain, the raindrops don't touch it. At this moment, it looks at everything in front of it with a cold expression.

All of this was no different from what he remembered, and nothing had changed. Alaya consciousness looked at the floating island fortress outside the headquarters of Destiny. There were other floating island fortresses around it, forming a group of floating island fortresses. He raised his hand and gently waved his finger in the air.

With silent control, the giant floating island fortress several kilometers away was taken over from the outside, as if time and space had been cut apart. With a rumbling roar, the entire headquarters of Destiny was finally taken into the Alaya consciousness.

In just five seconds, all the auxiliary floating islands of the entire Destiny Headquarters Fortress Complex, except for the main floating island, disappeared from their original locations.

The headquarters of Destiny is arguably the most advanced place in human history. Alaya consciousness has also put it away, intending to make use of it. After all, there is still a long road ahead, and the current headquarters of Destiny may still be useful in the future. But before that, those hidden dangers must be resolved first.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the darkening sky. As the roaring sound of tearing through the air drew closer, her Alaya consciousness knew that someone was approaching.

After all, even amidst thunder, these sounds could not escape His ears, and even without His deliberate effort to perceive them, the other party had no intention of concealing His aura at all.

With a loud bang, Jiuxiao landed heavily on the open ground not far from the headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate. Facing the wind and rain, Jiuxiao did not care about getting wet. He locked his gaze on the Alaya Consciousness standing in the air above the former headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate.

"It seems I underestimated you. You did not perish along with the Pure Land of Rebirth, human."

Alaya consciousness calmly gripped the spear held diagonally in its hand and looked at the girl who appeared before it. Unexpectedly, even though Jiuxiao was right in front of it, Alaya consciousness did not take immediate action.

"Are you here to avenge those heroes?"

"Although there are these reasons, Lord Jiuxiao's visit is not entirely unrelated to these matters. This meeting between us should be our first formal meeting, right? —Alaya Consciousness!"

"If you're referring to the first time you've seen me, then this is indeed the first time, but that first time doesn't include me, Penglai Temple Nine Heavens!"

After all, from the memories of many people, the Alaya consciousness also fully understands that this girl, Penglaiji Jiuxiao, who is considered to have a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) but has real abilities, is one of the four hidden dangers of Chaldea from another world, and also someone that He must eliminate.

"Perhaps that's how it is. As a human will, you should, in principle, prevent me, as the savior, from saving the world in another way. However, based on the small portion of my recovered memories, your method tells me that it will fail, so please stop."

"So you want me to give up! I have existed since birth with the premise of ensuring civilization. Through my calculations, the current method is the most likely to allow human civilization to survive its childhood and escape the trial of collapse. But if you, Penglai Temple Nine Heavens, want to make me stop with just words, then I can tell you directly that it is impossible."

From the very beginning of its creation, the Alaya Consciousness was given three core commands by the Ice Queen: to defeat the Honkai, develop civilization, and resurrect Seele.

As for resurrection, even the current Alaya consciousness cannot do it. Therefore, the Alaya consciousness can only complete the first two core commands and develop civilization to overcome the collapse. Because sooner or later, when civilization develops to a certain level, resurrection will not be a problem.

"You do not understand Honkai!"

“I know Penglai Temple’s Nine Heavens better than you do. If you can prove this method is wrong, then please tell me!”

"...This is the savior's intuition!"

Jiuxiao was speechless at this moment. After all, her memories had not fully recovered, and she only subconsciously felt that the collapse was not so simple. She had forgotten exactly what was not simple, so she could only answer Alaya consciousness in this way.

"I only believe in data. Since you don't have the answer to the Honkai problem, I can only treat you as an enemy who wants to destroy civilization and destroy your Penglai Temple Nine Heavens!"

As he spoke, Alaya consciousness slowly tilted the spear in his hand to the side in front of him, while his other free hand stroked the rain-soaked handle of the spear, preparing for battle.

"So, it really is going to be a fight? If that's the case, Lord Jiuxiao is ready to fight at any time!"

Her attire transformed into a dreamlike long dress, with black and red intertwined on Jiuxiao's body, causing her aura to rise once again. Four marks appeared behind her long purple hair, and after circling around, they further separated into seven black marks and seven white marks. The four marks were famine, plague, slaughter, and war.

A powerful force of death converged here, and strong winds spread in all directions, making the whole world seem to lose its color at this moment.

At this moment, the Nine Heavens had become essentially the same as the previous Nine Heavens of Apocalypse, except that the power was controlled by Apocalypse last time, but this time it was controlled by the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple itself.

At the same time, as the sky shattered silently, the spacetime above her palm shattered with a thud, as if torn apart by an invisible force. Accompanied by the scattered fragments of spacetime and the aura of death, a blood-red hilt, resembling that of the underworld, appeared in her palm. The next second, Jiu Xiao took out a blood-red katana with intricate patterns.

"To be honest, fighting you is exactly what I wanted to do, after all... Alicia, Kevin and the others can't have died in vain!"

Although she is the savior, she is also a person with her own companions and people she admires. When she sees those around her die, she feels sadness and anger.

As a savior, she always wanted to save everyone, but reality often makes it impossible to do anything. She can only go further and further down this path. All she can do is erect monuments for those who are also walking on this path. In the end, she may be able to avenge them, but what will she leave behind?

This is not only for those who have died, but also for ourselves.

The savior himself stumbled and staggered in confusion, trying to find a way out of hope and also trying to find the result he wanted.

But fate is always so cruel, hiding that exit in a place we can never find. In the end, we may find it, but by then the motivation to keep searching will be gone, and what we will get will only be a reality that is even crueler than what we have seen.

"But even so, the savior had no choice but to move forward, because if he stopped, even the savior would be afraid that he would not have the courage to continue."

"My ideas may be naive, but that is not a reason for us to avoid thinking about them or to fear that we will not be able to find hope of realizing them."

“Therefore… I will definitely stop your Alaya-consciousness!”

Chapter 312 An Extraordinary Battle, One-Punch Man: Nine Heavens

Endless black and red death power erupted from Jiuxiao's body, turning everything in its path into desolation.

In that instant, their weapons collided at an extremely fast speed, gradually spreading outwards from the two of them, and the originally vast area of ​​the surrounding land also cracked open in an instant.

From the moment that cataclysmic explosion erupted on the earth, within a radius of hundreds of kilometers centered on the original headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate, the earth cracked and trillions of tons of planetary mass were lifted up.

At that moment, a streak of black light pierced through the rising dust and was instantly blasted away thousands of miles away!

No one knew what had happened, because there was no one left on Earth. Countless loud explosions directly dispersed the dark clouds that had inexplicably shrouded the European continent.

A colossal crater suddenly appeared in reality, crimson cracks instantly covering the entire area, and exploding lava shot hundreds of meters into the air. The land area of ​​several countries was replaced by lava, and the entire European continent was directly caused to break apart by this attack.

Even after the live stream was slowed down by tens of trillions of times, people could barely make out the two blurry figures on the screen.

In the vast Pacific Ocean, thousands of enormous craters were blasted open over thousands of nautical miles. The powerful force even cleaved the sea, creating a massive ocean "canyon" that stretched from the coast of China to the coast of the United States.

A second later, in the battlefield where time could not interfere, the katana and the spear collided, and a violent shockwave exploded in all directions, scattering the sky above them and dispersing most of the Earth's atmosphere.

It can be said that in less than a second, the entire Earth suffered an unimaginable impact. Fortunately, there were no people on Earth at the moment, otherwise the end of the world would have passed by humanity in the next second.

The two fought their way from Europe to the Pacific Ocean, and this was just a warm-up. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as just destroying Europe. In this ocean far from human civilization, they could finally unleash their full power.

"Penglai Temple Nine Heavens, you really are a threat!"

In less than a second, the two exchanged thousands of blows, but the other easily neutralized them all. This guy's strength was no weaker than Kevin's before, and perhaps even stronger.

and……

Seeing the lingering aura of death on the spear after its clash with the katana, Alaya consciousness also revealed a strong killing intent.

Famine, plague, slaughter, and war are all things that humans abhor. Each of these events leads to the deaths of countless people, and death has been something that humans have feared since ancient times.

Death is a philosophical question that humanity will never forget. At some point in everyone's life, this question will inevitably arise in their mind: Where will I go after I die?

Because of the unknown, there is fear. After all, no one knows where they will go after they die, or when they will die. Rather than not knowing where they will go after death, it is better to stay in the world.

The human consciousness within the Alaya consciousness is gripped by fear. This is the survival instinct of humans in the face of death, and it is also one of the aspects of human nature. This fear gradually affects the Alaya consciousness, which in turn leads the Alaya consciousness to reveal a humanized killing intent towards Jiuxiao.

Human nature is unnecessary for the Alaya consciousness, which is why the Alaya consciousness remains calm regardless of whether it is Kevin or Ying Jie.

The Alaya consciousness, which was born not long ago, only showed its human side once, in the last sword strike Kevin unleashed. Now, facing the death power of the Nine Heavens, the Alaya consciousness is revealing this human side for the second time.

"Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple, you must die!"

If the Alaya consciousness previously dealt with the Nine Heavens with the mindset of completing a task, then now it is dealing with the Nine Heavens out of its own intention.

"Let's see if you can do it!"

At this moment, Jiuxiao abandoned his sword and used his fist. The speed of this punch surpassed teleportation, directly interrupting the long spear of Alaya consciousness and striking his chest.

The sea beneath their feet began to tremble in that instant. The powerful force pushed the ocean away, the solid seabed began to crack, and countless boulders rose up only to be instantly reduced to dust by the invisible aftershocks.

On the Earth's surface, the trail left by the dispersed atmosphere was torn to shreds, and a streak of light exceeding the speed of light shot out of the Earth, past the moon hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, and headed to a planet tens of millions of kilometers away.

"Want to fight in space again? No..." Alaya consciousness found itself getting higher and higher. Alaya consciousness, which had initially thought Jiuxiao only intended to fight it in space, realized that the Earth was getting smaller and smaller, and it was already far away from Earth. "Judging from this speed and direction? This is going to..."
