Collapse City, the beginning of the production of the anime version of Collapse 3

Kiana announced the final result of the battle.

"We lost... That's right, we lost... But what did we lose to?"

The puppet didn't understand. He didn't understand why he lost, nor did he understand what he lost to?

They envied Kiana for always winning, for not wavering no matter what obstacles she encountered, and for being able to overcome danger on her own no matter what desperate situation she encountered.

They have a total of one thousand companions, so why are they still no match for Kiana?

Kiana calmly pointed out that the puppets were not companions at all, but were connected by a purpose and expressed the same emotions.

The human idol was persuaded, and it asked Kiana one last question.

"Can you really defeat Honkai with your so-called belief, so-called companionship, and so-called protection?"

"We may have failed, but the next enemy will be far more contradictory and stronger than us...By that time, can you still rely on these illusory things to fight against them?"

Kiana firmly stated that she would not give up.

"Moreover, this is by no means something illusory; it is proof of what makes us human."

When a person is about to die, his words are also good.

At the end of its life, the puppet was almost persuaded by Kiana, and it mocked itself as a puppet of Honkai, not even knowing which side it should stand on.

"But people's malice will not disappear, Kiana... You will soon understand, no, you have always understood... There are still many tests left for you..."

It seemed to be a warning to Kiana, or a threat. After the character finished speaking, he seemed to have seen something, and his voice sounded a little sad and helpless.

"Ah...he's coming...the golden thread has wrapped around me..."

The puppet lowered its head, said no more words, and quietly waited for its own end.

He swung his sword towards the last puppet, towards the closing stage of the theater—Kiana.

At this point, the power of domination came to a brief end. 】

"Phew, it's finally over."

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.

It was just watching a movie, but it made her feel more tired than working overtime.

Even though they killed the hated Ruler of Rule, no one felt happy in their hearts. Instead, they felt a little melancholy. Perhaps it was because of the departure of Himeko and the Queen, or perhaps it was because of the last few words spoken by the puppet.

The Ruler of Herrscher is destined to not be the one who fights for humanity, because it is not one person, but a thousand people, with a thousand different emotions, and it is impossible for everyone to be willing to fight for humanity.

Anyway, the story has finally come to an end.

It ended with a not-so-happy happy ending.

"Alas, two people who once shone brightly on the same day actually parted on the same day. I don't know if it was a coincidence or God's will."

Hen sighed.

The original "Queen's Departure" and "The Last Lesson" seem to have happened just yesterday, but now, both protagonists have left the stage.

"The Ruler of Rule is also a pitiful person, but there must be something hateful about pitiful people."

No matter how pitiful the dolls are, Alicia will not forgive them.

"But then again, what does the golden thread in the puppet's mouth mean?"

“Maybe it’s a preview of what’s next.”

Mei rubbed her smooth chin.

"He could also be the next Herrscher to appear."

"Ah? Is the Herrscher going to appear so soon? At least give Kiana and the others a chance to catch their breath."

Alicia had a worried look on her face.

"I don't know. There are too few clues. Anyway, we all know now that the Ruler is dead and will never appear again."

Unknowingly, Mei also set a flag.

A few weeks later—

Three words floated across the big screen.

What appeared in the picture was a piece of white cloth, on which was placed the broken sword of God's Death, surrounded by chrysanthemums which symbolized a funeral.

The weather is very good, and there are a few white clouds in the blue sky.

But the atmosphere was very heavy, solemn and quiet.

"We are here today to remember a mutual friend and an eternal hero."

Theresa stood in front, looking solemnly at everyone present.

She did not choose to narrate Ji Zi's life story, nor did she choose to list Ji Zi's contributions, because everyone could see these. Theresa only mentioned the time she spent with Ji Zi.

As Theresa told the story, a teacher who often drank and was late for class appeared before their eyes. However, it was this teacher who saved her students.

“…It was this teacher who taught us the meaning of companionship, the meaning of fighting, and the meaning of ideals. He also taught us the meaning of beauty.”

“There is no better teacher than her.”

Theresa turned to face the marble table, placed a bottle of red wine and a glass on the table, and gently told Jizi that this was a good bottle of wine. She was sad for a long time when it was taken away, and now it has been returned to its original owner. 】

It turned out to be Ji Zi's funeral.

Everyone fell silent.

Such an excellent teacher and a tenacious warrior, in the end even his body could not be found, and the weapons he once used could only be used as a cenotaph.

"Teacher Jizi... Farewell..."

At this moment, all the audience who saw this scene fell silent and lowered their heads to show their respect for Ji Zi.

But there is one exception.

That's Himeko.

Seeing her own funeral, Ji Zi was completely stunned.

She never thought that one day she would be able to witness her own "funeral" with her own eyes.

It's such a strange feeling.

"Himeko, have a safe journey...ah!"

Theresa was still in silence.

Angry, Ji Zi hit her with such force that the principal couldn't help but cry out in pain, and then his face turned red.

Because the place where Jizi hit was...

"Teresa feels good, you can't tell, it's pretty perky."

Jizi blew a hooligan whistle.

"Female hooligan! Pervert!"

Theresa pointed at Himeko with a red face.

"That was all because of you. I was sitting next to you, and you told me to rest in peace. Isn't that a curse on me?!"

Ji Zi was speechless, and the corners of her mouth twitched a few times.

"Pfft."

Vita couldn't help laughing.

"Teacher Jizi, not many people have the honor of being able to see their own funeral."

Ji Zi rolled her eyes when she heard that.

She had long seen that Vita was a typical fun-loving person like herself.

"Do you want this honor? I don't even have a wedding, but I'm going to see a funeral first. Is that reasonable?"

Ji Zi didn't know what mentality to use to describe her inner emotions, there was helplessness, smile, and a little bit of anger. If there really was a tombstone of her own in reality, I believe she would definitely go up and take a photo with it as soon as possible.

Theresa pulled the skirt of her nun's uniform down a little bit, after all, there was a female "pervert" sitting next to her.

"Think positively, Jizi, at least I brought you a bottle of good wine."

"That's my wine!"

When this was mentioned, Jizi became even angrier.

Because of being late due to drinking, Theresa didn't know how many bottles of good wine she had taken away from herself. Now seeing this scene, she instantly thought of the reality.

"Pfft."

[Theresa stepped aside, and then Kiana walked forward, stared at the broken sword for a long time, and said many words of thanks.

Finally, I let go of my things.

That's the empty serum.

It was also proof that Himeko had saved her from the frozen darkness.

Then, everyone walked forward, put down their things on the marble table, immersed in the past, and said few words until the end of the funeral.

That night, Kiana had a dreamless night.

Late at night when everyone had left, Mei's figure quietly appeared in front of the marble table, looking at the broken Sword of the God in front of her.

Mei bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Himeko, I'm sorry to come to see you alone at this time."

Mei pondered for a long time, and it seemed that many words would change their meaning once they were spoken out loud, so she decided to prove it to Himeko with actions.

Taking a deep breath, Mei presented a bouquet of flowers.

"…Thank you, Mr. Himeko. It is my honor to be your student."

Mei finally bowed once more, and then disappeared into the starry night. 】

"Mei is here too..."

Alicia sighed.

Mei's arrival is very reasonable. After all, she is also one of Himeko's students. How could she miss her teacher's funeral?

But she didn't seem to have made any plans to meet Kiana and the others, and just came secretly to mourn in the middle of the night.

No matter how her temperament changes, Mei is still gentle at heart.

"By the way, Mei agreed to Kevin's request, apparently to get the Thunder Core out of Kiana's body. Now it seems that consciousness, reason, death, flame, and space are all in Kiana's hands."

Alicia had a strange expression on her face.

An image came to her mind.

The cute version of Kiana came to Mei holding the Fire King Sword and said proudly: "Mei, Mei, look at my four-core big sword. Isn't it cool?"

"Pfft."

Alicia couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Not really. Mei's departure was mainly due to Kiana's self-destructive mentality. She wanted to destroy all the Herrschers before Kiana to protect her..."

Mei said halfway.

Realized something was wrong.

If Mei left because Kiana had a self-destructive mentality, then after experiencing this series of events, Kiana must have changed her mindset and would no longer have the intention of dying together.

And became a brand new Herrscher.

Then Mei's departure, isn't it...

"Forget it, I won't study these anymore."

Mei figured it out.

There must be some discrepancies between the stories written by multiple screenwriters, but what she didn't know was that there was only one screenwriter from beginning to end.

“Since it’s not a movie anymore, is there still a curtain call?”

Alicia was curious.

The movie has ended here and the curtain rolls back.
