Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

"you do not need to know!"

Then, the Jiemie Wujin in his hand burst into flames and swept towards Su, while on the other side, in the imaginary space.

On one side is a vibrant world with white flowers blooming, and on the other side is the Yellow Spring of Forgetfulness blooming on the other side!

In the center where the two worlds intersect, on the bridge, there is a woman dressed in black and red clothes, riding a white deer, leaning on a sharp sickle, looking at them.

Two different halos spun in her eyes, and the energies of life and death filled her eyes.

One eye was flashing with white light, full of vitality, while the other eye was pitch black, full of death. But that face made Xier and the others horrified. That woman was Xier!

There is a third Xier in this space!

The next moment, Hei Xier felt a huge force coming from behind her head. She was caught off guard and was hit. Xier looked at Hei Xier who was hit and felt anxious. However, she found that he was getting farther and farther away from her. The two realms of life and death were actually gradually moving away!

"Cough cough..."

Hei Xi covered the back of his neck and struggled to get up from where he was lying. Was he attacked by surprise?!

"woke up?"

Before she could see the situation around her clearly, a chaotic yet pleasant sound floated into her ears. Hei Xi subconsciously waved her claws and attacked in the direction of the sound.

"do not move!"

However, Hei Xi found that her claw attack was blocked by someone with a sickle. She turned around and what came into her sight was herself with long hair!

"You!? This aura!? Such a disgusting aura..."

Looking at that figure, Hei Xi cursed inwardly, but it was as if he heard her words.

Xi'er thrust the sickle forward, then lifted Hei Xi's chin with the blade of the sickle.

"Oh? Hard-boned? In that case... let's see if you can still get hard!"

Just like asking Gao Su whether he could get hard again, Xier said to Hei Xi over there while pointing the sickle in his hand at Xier who was still unconscious.

A trace of pain appeared on Hei Xi's face. She could clearly feel her body trembling, but her legs were still standing firmly in place.

"Come at me if you have anything to do, don't touch Xier!"

Seeing that Hei Xi dared to resist her, Xi'er's face turned cold and a murderous intent emerged:

"Am I not Xi'er?"

Hearing her say this, Xier moved the sickle in her hand forward a little again, but an anxious look appeared on Hei Xi's face, and she waved her claws to attack the Herrscher of Death over there.

"Pfft!"

The sharp claws scratched the Herrscher of Death's skin, but did not harm the Herrscher of Death at all, leaving only a few bloody marks. These bloody marks did not bleed, as if they were blocked by something:

"This is how the power of the Herrscher of Death is used!"

Hei Xi was startled, and then he saw a white light coming out from the palm of the Herrscher of Death in front of him.

The white light fell on the claws, making a "squeaking" sound, and then the claws were corroded faster and faster.

Seeing this, Hei Xi quickly pulled back her claws, but a piece of flesh was still corroded away, causing her to grimace in pain.

Seeing this, Hei Xi's heart burned with rage, and he brandished his claws again, charging towards the Herrscher of Death:

"I don't want you to teach me how to use this power!"

Hearing the words of the Herrscher of Death, Hei Xi became even more angry. She had lost her mind and now only knew to attack the Herrscher of Death desperately.

Seeing Hei Xi's actions, the Herrscher of Death sneered in her heart. A ferocious look appeared on her face, and a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes:

"Since you are unwilling to learn how to use this power, don't blame me."

After she finished speaking, she slapped Hei Xi with her palm. The power of this palm from the Herrscher of Death was many times stronger than before. It hit Hei Xi directly and knocked him away.

Hei Xi fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood, his face full of pain. Seeing the Herrscher of Death continue to swing his scythe at Xier, Hei Xi's eyes turned red and his heart was filled with madness.

She climbed up from the ground and rushed towards the Herrscher of Death once again. She raised her hands high and grabbed the Herrscher of Death's neck. The Herrscher of Death showed a sneer on his face:

"Hmph, you're like an ant trying to shake a tree. You're overestimating your own abilities! How dare you attack me? First, let me show you how it feels to be torn apart."

After saying that, the Herrscher of Death grabbed Hei Xi's wrist and slammed him to the ground. Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard, and Hei Xi rolled like a ball and fell far away.

Seeing this, the Herrster of Death showed a cruel smile on his face:

"Hmph, do you really think you're some powerful character? Let me tell you, you're nothing but an ant in front of me!"

After she finished speaking, she walked towards Xier with a ferocious expression on her face, as if she would kill Xier in the next second.

"No! No, please don't!"

Seeing this situation, Hei Xi, who had lost his ability to fight, shouted in panic. The Herrscher of Death raised a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth:

"Please me?"

After saying that, the Herrscher of Death stretched out his right leg, stepped on Hei Xi's chest, bent down and lifted him up with force.

Hei Xi's body suddenly left the ground and floated in the air. The Herrscher of Death sneered:

"Haha, just slowly enjoy the pain of watching her leave you little by little!"

Volume 1: Have We Really Defeaten Honkai?: Chapter 30: Ruler of Life and Death, Please Witness

Seeing that Hei Xier was about to be killed by the Herrscher of Death, Xier looked at the Herrscher of Life who was blocking her way and swung her scythe:

"I said, get out of the way!"

However, her attack was blocked by the flower demon Flora, and she was disarmed by the Herrscher of Life. The Herrscher of Life, riding on a spirit deer named Diana, looked at Xier:

"After so many years, Xi'er Fule'ai, you finally chose to return here."

Xier looked at the Herrscher of Life in front of her with confusion:

"Back here?"

Thinking of this, she looked down at the stigmata on her chest and suddenly remembered that everyone had told her that this was the mark of the Herrscher of Death from the pre-civilization era.

"where is this place?"

"This is the boundary between life and death. All things wither on the Imaginary Tree, from here to the Quantum Sea, and finally return to the Imaginary Tree."

At this moment, the two worlds of life and death were pieced together again, and the Herrscher of Death picked up Hei Xier and threw her next to Xier.

Hei Xier let out a scream, and her body was shaking with pain. Her face showed pain, and her body kept rolling on the ground.

The Herrscher of Death looked at this scene and shook his head:

"You are too weak. You do not have the ability to guard the gate to the underworld, and you cannot become the master of the world of life and death."

Hei Xier supported himself and handed his sickle to Xier. Xier looked at the Herrscher of Life and Death over there:

"How can you know if you haven't tried it?"

"In that case, Xier, let me verify your strength."

A blood-red sickle fell from the sky, slashing towards the black and white Xier. Xier pushed the black Xier away and used the sickle she had given her to take the attack:

"Tsk..."

With a displeased sigh, the Herrscher of Death swung his scythe and launched a series of suffocating attacks.

Xi'er struggled to resist the attack of the Herrscher of Death. She realized that she couldn't defeat him on her own. Just as she was thinking about her response strategy, Hei Xi'er stood up, enduring the pain.

"Xier, let's fight together!"

Hei Xier picked up the sickle that Xier had disarmed and thrown on the ground by the Herrscher of Life, and fought side by side with Xier.

The two of them gradually became more coordinated, their sickles interweaving to emit brilliant light, colliding with the blood-red sickle of the Herrscher of Death.

However, the Herrscher of Death was too powerful, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage. At the critical moment, a firm belief surged in Xier's heart. She concentrated her energy and released the potential power in her body.

A dazzling light suddenly burst out, and Xier's sickle emitted a strange energy, which actually blocked the fatal blow of the Herrscher of Death.

Seizing this opportunity, Xi'er and Hei Xi'er exchanged glances and decided to use all their strength. Their figures instantly intertwined, rushing towards the Herrscher of Death like a whirlwind.

The two sickles drew countless sharp arcs in the air, shining with light, dazzling people.

The Herrscher of Death felt the pressure, she increased the intensity of her attack, and the blood-red sickle came whistling with the breath of death.

Xier and Hei Xier gritted their teeth and persevered. Their coordination became more and more perfect, and every attack was like a spark of electric shock.

In the fierce battle, Xi'er suddenly realized a new way to use her power. She integrated her inner emotions into the sickle, making her attack power even more powerful.

Seeing this, Hei Xier followed suit. The two people's strength echoed each other, forming a powerful combined force.

Finally, they found the weakness of the Herrscher of Death and launched a decisive attack when he was off guard.

The light exploded, and the Herrscher of Death was pushed back dozens of steps. She looked at Xier and Hei Xier, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"It seems that you still have some potential..."

The Herrscher of Death sneered and said:

"However, if you want to become the Ruler of Life and Death by relying on this power, it is far from enough!"

Suddenly, countless dark blood-red hands surged out from the surroundings and forcibly separated Xier and Hei Xier.

Like the victims who kept sinking into the swamp, Xier was slowly dragged into the world of death by those dark bloody hands.

Only Hei Xier and the Herrscher of Life were left in the world of the living. Hei Xier looked at the disappeared Xier, his heart broken:

"No, don't leave me alone!"

Then, she turned her gaze towards the Herrscher of Life riding the Spirit Deer. The Honkai energy gathered in her body erupted at this moment, and she swung at Seele's weapon.

"Give Xi'er back to me!"

However, her attack was like a punch on cotton. No matter how hard she attacked, she couldn't hurt the Herrscher of Life at all.

"why why?"

After all of her attacks were dodged by the Herrscher of Life, she saw the opponent reach out and point a finger at her brow. The next moment, her vision gradually lost color, turning black and white.

"This is Xi'er's vision! Liu Lin'er, what are you talking about?"

"You who aspire to become the Ruler of Life and Death, you who wish to gain the power over life and death, you must have witnessed many deaths so far. Face those deaths in your memories."

As the Herrscher of Death finished speaking, a voice that made people feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts rang out, and a figure appeared in front of Xier:

"The disaster didn't break us, but our fellow humans did. The vileness of human nature is far more terrifying than disaster. In a world like this, true salvation never existed from the beginning!"

"Since the future is even darker, why are you still trying to persuade me to look towards the light?"

It was the Herrscher of the Thousand. Seele shook her head. She couldn't deny the Herrscher of the Thousand either, because there was no need to deny it with words. Light and shadow would always coexist, and there was no need to acknowledge it with actions, because light and shadow would always coexist.

“The world is not beautiful, so there are people who fight for beauty. The world has never been beautiful, but there are always people willing to fight for the beauty of the world.”

"I can't refute you because that's the reality, but I'm going to try hard to refute you because I don't want the reality to remain that way."

"The strong wield their sword against the stronger, and the weak wield their sword against the weaker. No matter what you say, it is not a reason for you to commit violence against your benefactors and innocent people."

"I was once trapped in darkness, but someone brought me to the light. She was my salvation. So, I hope that I can do my best to help those who are still trapped in darkness."

In response to Seele's words, the Herrscher of the Thousand let out a sharp cry:

"You haven't experienced the pain I've experienced. Who are you to tell me to help others?"

"You haven't experienced my pain, so what right do you have to tell me to abandon my wife and stop helping others?"

At this moment, the Herrscher of Death appeared and dragged the Thousand Herrschers into the light of rebirth. He looked at Xier and asked:

“Is their disappearance really inevitable?”

After the Thousand Herrschers disappeared, Otto appeared. He looked at Seele in front of him and said with a sarcastic smile:

"You, like Kiana, are just a tool, without a sharp edge of your own. I really want to see how your heroic story will end. The hidden things hidden in the identity of Herrscher will not always be what you wish."

After Otto, it was Kevin who looked at Xier in front of him:

"For me who has lost everything, the only thing left is revenge..."

Watching them appear and disappear one by one before her, Xier understood that this was a common tactic used by the Herrschers, just like the Herrscher of Death who appeared again:

"Isn't it you who caused their demise? In the face of their demise, did you swing your scythe against them according to your own will? Or were you simply swept along by what you call 'fate'?"

"If you cannot answer, you who desire to transcend life and death, then transform into a wisp of soul and remain here. You cannot grasp the power of the Ruler of Life and Death."

"No matter how strong you become, if you lack willpower, you will eventually collapse. This is a truth that even the dead understand!"

The words of the Herrscher of Death made Hei Xi, who witnessed all this, extremely anxious. Why did Xier remain silent when she should not have been silent?
