Miss Surtr will ignite the world

Since it won't rot, I might as well keep it as a collectible and display it alongside the golden apple.

She felt she needed to set aside a specific area in her system inventory to store these strange and unusual "souvenirs."

Although most of them are only for collection, the "shooting a hundred heads" alone makes this lottery worthwhile.

The only regret is that what I wanted most didn't come true.

She shifted her slightly stiff body and opened the online store interface.

After the battle with the Lion King, Surtr gained a new understanding:

That is, one life really doesn't seem to be enough.

Avalon granted her invincible defense and extremely strong regenerative abilities, but that did not make her truly immortal.

As long as there is time and magic, even the most severe injuries can be healed... but if one dies before recovery, then it is truly over.

She almost died in that battle.

They didn't even have a chance to deploy Avalon.

If she hadn't barely managed to "adapt" to the Holy Lance's "fixation," she would have already been reduced to ashes in the storm of light.

Even Avalon was powerless to reverse the situation.

Crossing the world is so dangerous; there's no guarantee you won't encounter an opponent stronger than the Lion King. To think that possessing Avalon guarantees safety is far too naive.

She needs to become more "safe".

She glanced at the limited-time gacha pool and decisively gave up—there were no items she needed this time.

It falls back into the local pool.

In the Type-Moon universe, treasures that can "come back to life" are extremely rare.

The elixir of immortality from the god of healing, runes that can bring the dead back to life, Hercules' "Twelve Trials", the immortality of "Grumpy Old Mustard", and the immortality of Tiamat or Goetia.

The God of Healing's medicine was ruled out first; she wanted a "passive skill" more.

While Rune meets the requirements, it has too many restrictions, and its actual effect will not be stronger than Avalon.

Moreover, using raw gems to buy runes... for some reason, she always felt like she was losing out big time.

The "Twelve Trials" are an old friend: twelve resurrections, immunity to B-rank and below damage, and stacked resistance when injured. Even the Moon Goddess's anti-star Noble Phantasm requires two hits to break through.

The immortality of the Old Mustard is enviable; as part of the planet, it has assimilated with nature and is virtually impossible to kill completely.

And Tiamat.

As long as there is life on earth, she will never die, making her a top-tier survival guarantee.

As for President Gai... forget it, she doesn't have that many "brothers and sisters" to rely on.

After browsing all the options, "The Twelve Trials" was the cheapest, priced at 4399.

Both mustard greens and Tiamat require a number starting with 9, and their prices are not significantly different.

Surprisingly, Old Mustard's immortality is on par with Tiamat's, which speaks volumes about its value.

However, given Surtr's current financial resources, if he chooses the latter two options, it's questionable whether he can even leave this singularity.

Despite being extremely envious, she had no choice but to give up.

Moreover, the "Twelve Trials" are sufficient to deal with most crises. If one were to encounter an opponent that even twelve lives could not defeat, then no matter how many lives one had, it would probably be of no use.

Without further hesitation, she clicked to buy.

[Noble Phantasm purchased: Twelve Trials B]

[Current Originium: 7366.2]

Although it's labeled as B-rank, its price is significantly higher than most A-rank Noble Phantasms.

In addition to that, there is...

[Skill purchased: Blessing of the Night B]

[Current Originium: 7066.2]

With the blessing of "Never-Ending Blessing" and the "Saint Number," Surtr felt he was nearly invincible.

And then

[Item purchased: Goetia's Holy Grail]

[Current Originium: 4733.2]

Weapons alone are no longer enough to provide substantial improvement, while items that can greatly enhance oneself in a short period of time are obviously more practical.

The loss of most of the raw stone was painful for her, but it was all worth it.

Immediately afterwards—

You have slain the Lion King.

[Reward: Holy Lance Rungomminiad]

The kill reward arrived as scheduled. Holy Sword, Holy Lance, Blanket, Crown... Now I really have the complete King Arthur set.

Hmm, it seems like I'm still missing a "coffin lid"? I wonder when I'll finally get it...

A few impolite thoughts flashed through Surtr's mind, but she quickly shook her head to dispel them. At this moment, the world's rejection of her was gradually intensifying.

The singularity is being repaired by humans, and as an "outsider," she can no longer remain there.

"Well then, it's time."

She murmured to herself.

"Time travel, unfold."

…………

On the other side, Chaldea.

Inside Leonardo da Vinci's workshop.

Da Vinci sat by the lab bench, silently flipping through the notes Ritsuka had brought back from the singularity.

A moment later, the door was pushed open, and Roman walked in with a smile.

"Da Vinci, what did Surtr write in his notebook?"

"See for yourself."

Leonardo da Vinci looked up and handed over the notebook with a complicated expression.

Why the seriousness? Is there some bad news?

Roman muttered to himself as he took the notebook and opened it.

What comes into view are the somewhat hastily written Chinese characters.

He didn't quite understand why a Nordic fire giant would insist on writing in an Eastern language, but compared to the contents of the notes, it was insignificant.

He quickly extracted the key information.

Goetia, Beasts, Anti-Summoning, Alien Gods, Earth's Blank Page, Seven Lostbelts...

As he turned the pages, the smile that had been on Roman's lips gradually disappeared.

The Third Collapse: Chapter One Won't Let You Fall!

Far East.

boom!

A muffled thud came from the rooftop of the teaching building, as if something had crashed heavily into the wall.

"Well……"

With a soft gasp, Miss Surtr was curled up on the rooftop, clutching her head.

Because she was lying on her back when she passed through, she made a close encounter with the concrete ground beneath the back of her head.

Fortunately, her skull is hard enough now. But even so, she doesn't want to test its hardness in this way.

"After so many trips, I've finally gotten used to this 'motion sickness' feeling."

Surtr muttered to herself as the familiar dizziness quickly subsided. Shaking her head, she sat up and looked around.

In the distance, towering steel jungles come into view, and the crisscrossing streets are bustling with people and traffic.

She now appears to be on the rooftop of a school, where girls in light sailor uniforms are walking around the campus in twos and threes.

I didn't see a single boy; it seemed like an all-girls school.

Judging from the street scenes and text, this is probably a society similar to her previous life, but the school uniform style and Chinese characters clearly tell her: this is not China.

"Am I back?"

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she caught sight of a system notification.

[Current World: Honkai Impact 3]

Ha, I was definitely overthinking it.

Throwing away the little bit of disappointment in his mind, Surtr recalls information about this world.

Honkai Impact 3rd, a world filled with "love and hope" (laughs).

Here, a calamity called "Honkai" periodically befalls civilizations. Those who cannot adapt die instantly upon contact, and even those who are lucky enough to survive cannot endure the effects of Honkai on their bodies for long.

The concept of Honkai energy evolving with the development of civilization is an old one, but it's generally still correct.

When civilization develops to a certain level, Honkai Apostles known as Herrschers will appear. Only by killing all the Apostles and crossing the end can one be considered to have defeated the Honkai.

Incidentally, men are far less likely to be adapted to Honkai energy than women, which is why women make up the vast majority of the fighting force against Honkai in this world.

What's even more outrageous is that this film set seems to be cursed with a special attack on heterosexuals.

From any perspective, it is a world that is very unfriendly to men.

Fortunately, she has now left that group.

Although she is an "outsider," her current physical condition makes her unafraid of the collapse. Moreover, she possesses the divine ability of "adaptation."

Although it doesn't usually stand out much, this skill can even barely withstand the Holy Lance's immobilization, making it extremely practical.

With the addition of the Saint Number, the Hundred Shots, the Twelve Trials, the Holy Grail, Avalon... as long as you don't run into those monsters in the later stages, you should be relatively safe in this world.

I just saw the "ME Corporation" logo in the city. If I'm not mistaken, this should be Changkong City. The fact that the entire city is still intact means that the Third Honkai Impact has not yet occurred.

Changkong City, an all-girls school, and the school buildings are quite impressive; it's probably the legendary Senyu Academy.

The system really knows how to pick a location.

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, that famous "wormhole attraction" has not yet appeared.

There is still a lot of room for maneuver.

After clarifying the situation, Surtr quickly made a decision.

First, go and make contact with Kiana and the others.

The raw gems they currently possess are only enough for one more time travel, and the cautious Miss Surtr clearly has no intention of using them directly.

Taking into account both cost-effectiveness and a little personal preference.

I should definitely help the "protagonist".

Thinking this, she took out "Gaia's Foundation" from her system inventory.

Although I really like my current outfit, being all bundled up in this weather is just too conspicuous.

She looked down at a girl in a purple sailor uniform, observed her carefully, took out a mirror, and began to skillfully apply her makeup.

A moment later,

JK Surtr makes her grand entrance!

Just then, the sound of a door being pushed open came from below.

Feeling guilty, Surtr instinctively lay down on the spot to conceal his breathing and peek out cautiously.

The newcomer was a young girl shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere.

Her long, flowing purple hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down her back, while her form-fitting school uniform accentuated her curves, which far exceeded those of a high school student.
