Miss Surtr will ignite the world

"What's wrong, Mei?"

Do you know what Honkai is?

Mei asked, feeling that the word sounded strangely familiar.

It seems Mei has no memory. That makes sense, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm after waking up.

Thinking this, Surtr nodded.

"I know."

"However, it would be better for Mei to see it with her own eyes rather than just explaining it verbally."

The Third Honkai Impact: Chapter Sixteen - You've Activated It?

Honkai, as a periodic disaster that occurs randomly, has a variety of manifestations.

Infectious diseases, wars, climate disasters, comet impacts, or even the sudden appearance of giant warriors are all possibilities, and the Herrscher is just one of them.

Although the Herrscher has disappeared, the impact of the Honkai on the city has not yet dissipated.

Large numbers of zombies and undead roam the streets, and every now and then you can see huge monsters with purple stripes and white shells wandering around the city.

There is a specific term used in academia to refer to this kind of monster.

Honkai Beast.

"Help! Surtr!"

A white-haired girl ran down a wide street, shouting without any regard for her image, while a purple-haired girl with a stiff expression followed beside her. A giant monster five stories high was chasing them frantically from behind.

Its mere trampling can cause the surrounding ground to vibrate; the hard cement is like fragile paper under its feet, leaving deep pits.

And this is just the most common tank-class Honkai Beast.

Compared to the game, the Honkai Beasts in reality are undoubtedly much more terrifying.

Even common tank-class Honkai Beasts are over fifteen meters in size, not to mention the Temple-class and Emperor-class.

Of course, even a mere tank-class warrior is not something that Ms. Paramecium, who doesn't even have a B-rank Valkyrie, can defeat.

"These two guys are still too green."

Surtr sighed.

One of the purposes of this trip to the street was to give Mei some practice.

Her father is an anti-entropy executor, and she herself is the Third Herrscher. These two identities mean that she cannot stay away from the Honkai. Moreover, this world is not safe, so it's better to get used to it sooner rather than later.

After learning the truth about this world, the other party's attitude became quite positive.

This can be considered a way of taking a girl on a dungeon run.

Lost in thought, Surtr looked around and then fixed his gaze on a ranger deadpool.

"Give it to me."

Snatching the bow and arrow from Deadpool's hand, Surtr drew the bow and nocked an arrow while the other looked completely bewildered.

Having mastered the skill of shooting down hundreds of enemies, she can wield both greatswords and bows with ease. Combined with her far-seeing ability, she is now an archer no less formidable than a great hero.

Maybe I'll get a bow to play with later.

With that thought in mind, she shot the arrow.

The bowstring vibrated, and a circular wave of air rippled outwards.

The arrow sliced ​​through the air, transforming into a streak of light, and landed on the head of the Honkai Beast.

An explosion rang out behind the two, followed by a surge of wind pressure. Kiana turned around curiously and saw a circular notch, about half the height of a person, on the head of the Honkai Beast that had been relentlessly pursuing her.

"I'll go."

Miss Kiana slowly stopped, her lips forming an "O" shape, and couldn't help but let out a down-to-earth sigh.

Although I knew Surtr might be very strong, I hadn't had a direct feel for it before because of the distance, but now I've truly experienced it firsthand.

Looking down at the small pistol in her hand, Miss Kiana suddenly felt that these two weapons that had been with her for many years were not so appealing anymore.

"That's amazing."

Mei was equally surprised. If she wasn't mistaken, that should have been just an ordinary arrow, or rather, one that had been snatched on the spot.

It turns out that things that seem like something out of a novel can actually be done.

But thinking about it, since something like Honkai exists, it's not so strange that they can do these things.

Furthermore, Surtr even claimed to be a time traveler.

This is even more magical.

When explaining what Honkai is, Surtr also explained her identity, using the same explanation she gave Siegfried before.

Although I felt like I'd been tricked, we weren't very familiar with each other at the time, and the idea of ​​time travel was too shocking, so I didn't dwell on it anymore.

"Surtr, have you opened it yet?"

When Surtr arrived, Kiana asked directly.

"What are you thinking? This is just a bit of skill, plus a bit of magic and Honkai energy. It's a fairly standard operation. Besides, an enemy of that level would be nothing more than a slap to your dad."

Surtr explained.

Honkai energy is actually somewhat similar to magic in its function; both are very versatile energy sources.

It can be used to strengthen the body, and it can also be used to strengthen weapons.

This is probably why Kevin was able to defeat the tank class with just a baseball bat.

"Ugh, my stinky old man is awful, but he's really strong."

Miss Kiana grinned, clearly having been badly beaten in the previous Kaslana gunfight competition, but she quickly regained her composure and showed a confident expression.

"But sooner or later, I will become even stronger than him."

"Of course, you definitely can."

Surtr had no doubt about this, after all, the future had become the end. But even if it hadn't become the end, she believed Kiana had enough potential to become a strong person.

"How are you feeling, Mei?"

She looked at Mei, whose face was still somewhat stiff.

"I'm fine. Although I was a little hesitant at first, I'm much better now."

Mei shook her head; after all, she was still a little uncomfortable dealing with humanoid creatures.

However, once you get past the first step, things will become much easier afterward.

The weapon she's currently using is a katana that Surtr stole from the Twin-Sword Deadpool, which is probably the weapon she's most familiar with.

Although this thing will turn into Honkai energy after Deadpool dies, it's not a big problem as long as he's not dead.

"Well, let's stop here for now. Mr. Siegfried should have found some food by now. Let's eat before we continue our journey."

This is the second objective.

Surtr is alright, but the others can't go without food. Her backpack was almost empty after the last singularity, so she'll have to cook for herself.

"Surtr, the way you're talking makes it sound like we're about to be executed."

Kiana's expression was strange.

"Don't worry, I won't die even if my head is cut off."

"Huh, really?"

Kiana was shocked.

"Of course it's fake, are you an idiot?"

Walking ahead, Surtr looked at Kiana, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, with a puzzled expression.

"..."

Meanwhile, atop a distant building, Bronya, all alone, ate dry rations and peered through binoculars at the three people below who were chatting and laughing.

A look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes, followed by confusion.

This Herrscher of Thunder seems different.

It seems like things have returned to normal.

They were fighting to the death just a few hours ago, so why are they acting so normally now?

Bronya was puzzled, but... if the other party was a normal person, would she still want to capture them?

She had promised Seele she wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone again. If Raiden Mei were a Herrscher, it wouldn't matter, but if the other person was a normal person...

Is she going to break her promise to Seele?

Being used as an experimental subject by Cocolia's mother would obviously not end well.

Bronya hesitated for a moment, but quickly shook her head.

Success is still a long way off, so what's the point of thinking about this? Let's get in touch first and see what happens.

Bronya turned her gaze back to the Honkai Beasts roaming the streets.

She had already prepared a meticulous plan.

The Third Collapse: Chapter Seventeen - Hitting the Head with a Blow

When the bright moon replaces the blazing sun, the city is shrouded in darkness.

Moonlight and scattered starlight dotted the sky, which had been polluted by technological development. In terms of nighttime scenery alone, Miss Surtr undoubtedly preferred the view of the Singularity.

Looking back now, even the light bands of Goetia could be considered a kind of local feature.

Of course, she would definitely not want to go back.

That world is like the end of the world every day, so it's really not suitable for long-term living, although the Honkai world isn't much better.

There is an end in the solar system, not to mention outside of it. A battle between a group of big shots can easily affect most of the universe. It wouldn't be surprising if the aftershocks crushed them at any time.

However, none of this has anything to do with her now.

Nightfall brought a semblance of tranquility to the ravaged city, a tranquility indeed, considering that even the insects had been wiped out after the Honkai outbreak.

"Then I'll go and clear out the Honkai Beasts wandering outside. If anything happens, I can just use Skyfire to notify them."

Surtr made a firing gesture with his hand, then picked up his sword and walked out of the stronghold.

"Oh, be careful."

"Do not worry."

Black boots trod on the narrow cement road. On one side were rolling mountains and forests, and on the other side stood low houses. Only the moonlight from the sky provided a little light for this narrow street.

This place is far from the city center.

It is a residential area located on the outskirts of Changkong City.

Changkong City is quite large, and as the group walked and stopped frequently, the sun soon set.

The dim light was not suitable for traveling, so we found a place nearby to rest.

Fortunately, they didn't need to camp, as there were plenty of empty houses around, and they just needed to clear out the tenants.

For safety's sake, it's best to clear out the surrounding monsters as well.

This was no problem for Surtr; neither the dim environment nor the roaming Dead Servant Honkai Beasts could affect her.

But during this time, she also discovered a problem.

"Why does it feel like there are more and more of them?"

Surtr pinched his chin, turned around, and looked at the pile of corpses behind him.

Not all Honkai Beasts turn to ashes after death. The matter composed purely of Honkai energy disappears after the opponent dies, but a large part of the flesh and blood tissue remains.

Surtr looked at the road where the number of corpses was gradually increasing, his eyes filled with confusion.

At first, it was alright, with only some zombies and dead servants, but as she moved away from the base, or rather, headed in a certain direction, the number of Honkai Beasts gradually increased.

Zombies, Deadpools, Knight-class, Chariot-class, and even a Temple-class.

Based on her previous experience in the city, Honkai Beasts generally prefer to live in places with high concentrations of Honkai energy.
