Collapse Iron: Today's mount is the female protagonist.

"Damn it, am I going to fall here...?"

Kevin gritted his teeth in frustration. He might be able to withstand a tank-class Honkai Beast that was more than ten meters tall, but he was completely helpless against the attack of a monster that was taller than a building.

But suddenly, he saw a burst of gold on the horizon, its light dazzling yet warm, like the sun rising from the ground.

In an instant, the light burst forth, filling the field of vision with light and flames. Apart from the ringing in one's ears, there was nothing else around. Under the light, the monster, along with all the destroyed creations around it, were completely annihilated.

"That is……"

Standing still, motionless.

Kevin's eyes reflected the golden figure in the distant sky, like a god, as if imprinting it in his heart.

Chapter 141 Even if it takes fifty thousand years, I will wait.

Flames and rain of light fell from the sky, stretching for hundreds of kilometers. Under the incinerating heat and the fangs of death, all enemies and crumbling creations were utterly annihilated in the face of this cataclysmic power, leaving not even a speck of dust.

This scene left Hua somewhat dazed. She knew that there was a great gap between her and Qi Shi, but she did not expect it to be this big. Even using such a move seemed like a casual gesture.

Moreover, it only killed the Honkai creations without harming the survivors. This kind of attack is both vast and powerful, and its subtle and precise control over power is what makes it even more shocking.

The golden flames and fire feathers on Hua's body, which resembled a god, gradually disappeared, and Qi Shi's voice appeared.

"I have something I want to tell you, Hua."

Everything around him calmed down. Looking at the girl's face, he paused for a moment before finally uttering the farewell he was reluctant to say.

"Hua, I should leave now."

He has been in the previous civilization for a long time and has even attracted the attention of the End Cocoon, which will surely make it more sensitive to him afterward.

As for the journey to chase the fire, Qi Shi had no intention of participating in this journey.

Join the heroes to overcome the collapse, rewrite the tragedy, get to know each other, chat with the female heroes, and enjoy the respect and worship.

Spending time like this is really nice, mainly because it's fun to tease Ellie.

But as he said before, he wasn't trying to rewrite the tragedy of the previous civilization and create a happy ending; the original world still exists 50,000 years later.

Even if there is a time anchor and no fear of change, some necessary conditions still need to be met. If someone waits alone for 50,000 years, then that person must have survived in the pre-civilization era. If a plan spanning 10,000 years is to be executed, then the plan must at least exist.

If the present civilization was born from the ashes of the previous civilization, then the previous civilization needs to be restarted by the end or a similar force.

Saving millions or tens of millions of people is fine, but saving tens or hundreds of billions of people raises questions about the very survival of the planet.

These are all areas that need to be met, and necessary timeframes.

If the deviation is too large, Qi Shi is also unsure what kind of unknown errors might occur.

He still needs to make some preparations to save the former civilization, and Qi Shi already has a clue as to how to do it.

Upon hearing the news, Hua, who had initially felt some joy, fell silent. The atmosphere became somewhat oppressive and heavy. After a long while, she spoke in a slightly dry and trembling voice.

"Then, will you come back?"

It wasn't that she was surprised; in fact, she had been preparing for this day for a long time. After all, Qi Shi seemed out of place in this world, and their relationship was more like a lucky coincidence.

Hua felt a pang of regret. Why had she been so focused on the Honkai Beasts that she hadn't listened carefully to what Qi Shi was saying during their last time together before parting ways?

But the words stuck in her throat; she was a very conservative and serious person, unable to utter such mushy words.

"It's hard to say. It could be a few months, or it could be fifty thousand years."

"Hehe~ Just kidding, I'll be back as soon as possible."

Qi Shi looked into the other person's eyes after speaking, then suddenly chuckled, but Hua responded with utmost seriousness.

"Even if it takes fifty thousand years, I will wait until you come back."

A smile appeared on Qi Shi's face. He never denied the other party's persistence and determination, but at the same time, he teased him.

"But what if you forget about me later?"

He knew Hua would never forget; Hua's personality meant he would cherish and remember all those memories.

However, in the future, the opponent will burn their memories to unleash the Great Void Sword God, causing them to suffer multiple serious injuries and near death.

Even with his current immense power, Qi Shi cannot alter the course of the battle. By anchoring this period of time, he has essentially rewritten only this specific timeframe; nothing afterward will change. Unless the opponent transcends time, or is like him a unique being unbound by timelines, nothing can alter their existence.

"I will never forget it." Hua appeared extremely determined, his gaze unwavering.

"We made a deal. If I break the agreement, you can make any demands you want."

Perhaps this sentence already reveals the girl's overly conservative mindset.

Seeing the serious and determined look on the girl's face, Qi Shi stopped his unromantic teasing about the information gap between the future and the future, and instead smiled gently and responded.

"Okay, it's a promise. I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

Hua finally smiled and nodded emphatically.

"After I leave, you can't be so impulsive anymore. You need to learn to relax and rest when you need to. Pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Your current martial arts skills can't be broken through by just burying yourself in hard work. What you need is an opportunity. The important thing is to understand your own true nature."

"Later you might be able to join the Firemoth, where you won't feel like an outsider and you'll make many companions."

"I'll be careful, and you should also be careful when you get back."

"Also... don't push yourself too hard. I'm not in a hurry. Whether it's a year or several years, I can wait. Don't hurt yourself because of impatience."

"Don't worry, this isn't dangerous for me. I'll definitely keep my promise to you."

"Well, I believe you."

"Well... see you later." The two chatted quietly until Qi Shi finally said the words that represented farewell.

Hua suppressed her reluctance and took a deep breath.

See you later.

After saying goodbye, watching the light gradually fade away and feeling that connection in her heart was no longer there, the girl felt a sense of emptiness and dejection, and clenched her fists in front of her chest.

We must meet again.

Knowing about the disaster in Changkong City, Alicia could only suppress her gloomy mood and focus on saving lives. However, when she arrived at the scene, she found that it was already over.

The Honkai disaster has stopped, all Honkai Beasts have been eliminated, and the only thing left on the scene is a huge, bottomless pit that is awe-inspiring to all, and a gray-haired girl with a unique temperament standing in the pit, staring blankly into the distance.

Noticing the approaching figures at the edge of the giant pit, Hua also turned his gaze to the pink-haired girl leading the group.

"The Honkai calamity was completely wiped out in an instant, and a rain of light fell from the sky to heal everyone. Is this telling some myth?"

"You're telling me that the terrifying commotion, like a cosmic storm, was caused by that gray-haired girl?"

The snake twisted and contorted, and Mebius felt increasingly unfamiliar with the world around him.

Chapter 142 Kiana: What are you doing?!

Countless scenes from different times fluttered past me, traversing the flow of time, and finally arriving at the destination of my return journey.

After many years, the Qi family finally returned to its original timeline.

He took a deep breath of the fresh air of this world and felt that this world was more like home.

The place he appeared in was still the commander's office. It had been about a month since he left, but judging from how clean and tidy it was, it must have been cleaned regularly.

However, it was already evening, and there were no students left in the academy. So Qi Shi transformed into a flame and flew towards St. Freya's dormitory. He arrived quickly and reappeared in the living room.

Just then, the door opened, and Mei, who was cleaning the room, froze on the spot when she saw Qi Shi's figure.

Looking at the girl who was so familiar from his memory, Qi Shi smiled and greeted her after a long separation.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Mei."

The tools he was holding fell to the ground because he was so dazed.

"Qishi-kun!" A figure rushed into her arms, looking incredibly surprised and incredulous. Mei felt as if she had finally seen a small boat on the other side of the river, and her eyes lit up instantly.

She hugged him tightly, her face filled with an expression of uncontrollable joy and tears.

"You are finally back!"

Don't misunderstand, this is her joyful hug after a long-awaited reunion with her family.

Mei, however, held on tightly, her face pressed against the other's chest, and didn't let go for a long time.

Just then, Kiana, with a gentle expression, seemed to be chatting happily with someone as she returned home from the training ground.

Kiana opened the door, Kiana froze, and then let out a sharp, explosive sound.

"Aaaaaah! You bastard! Let go of Mei!!!"

The moment the scene came into view, someone's heart exploded. A voice filled with extreme grief and indignation was heard as the End Worm launched a flying kick with a trail of flames.

"Huh?" Qi Shi was stunned for a moment. Although he was caught off guard, he still managed to catch the girl's long, fair, and smooth leg that was suddenly kicking him.

What are you doing?!

Seeing the sudden movement of the End Worm, Kiana's true consciousness also emitted a voice as furious as an angry female leopard. In an instant, the End Worm felt an extremely strong sense of consciousness rejection that it had never experienced before, almost driving her out of its body.

It was as if her favorability rating had suddenly dropped from 90 to -100. If the End Worm hadn't been so special and possessed such strong mental power, she would have been driven away from her body by that resistance in an instant.

Even so, she was still kicked back into the mental space by Kiana's strong resistance, and could only keep the Queen of the Sky company.

"Qishi, are you alright?" After regaining control of her body, Kiana rushed to Qishi's side to check his injuries, her expression flustered.

"It's alright, it's alright." Qi Shi waved his arm to reassure him and smiled helplessly.

"You don't think you can hurt me, do you? But I was a little surprised by your sudden kick. I didn't expect your disappearance to make you so angry, Kiana."

"No, no! That's not how it is!" Kiana quickly protested.

"That wasn't me at all, Qi Shi, you have to believe me! I really didn't mean to attack you."

In her heart, she almost hated her future self to death. Damn it, why did the other party suddenly attack Qi Shi!

Meanwhile, the End Worm in the consciousness space remained sitting cross-legged on the ground, glaring angrily at the scene in the picture.

In fact, through the information she had heard about Qi Shi these past few days, she knew that he was a very good person and had done so many things to save everyone. She was trying her best to meet him with a normal mindset.

However, when she saw Mei being hugged by someone else, she simply couldn't stand it! She felt as if a string of reason in her mind had snapped, and she wanted nothing more than to tear the person who had defiled Mei to pieces.

But the End Worm that followed behind clutched its forehead in pain.

She's worked so hard to build up her favorability over this period! Favorability and trust are extremely important; whether she wants to persuade Kiana or guide her past self in doing something, it will all go much more smoothly.
