Collapse Simulator: Raging at the Imaginary Tree

Although he liked her, he knew that the gap between him and Alicia was still too big.

He even had a hard time clearing out a few Chariot-level Honkai Beasts, while Alyssia could easily fight against Honkai Emperors, and even had ease when facing Emperor-level Honkai Beasts.

Therefore, he very wisely classified this emotion as longing.

During the sixth collapse, Kevin's hesitation resulted in the death of almost all members of the second team.

Only Alicia and Ling were left.

Good Honkai resistance saved Ling's life at the edge of the battlefield, but his teammates could never come back.

That was the first time Ling successfully landed a punch on Kevin's face.

Kevin's handsome face was full of confusion and helplessness.

If it weren't for Alicia mediating, Ling would definitely have shot him into a sieve with the gun in his hand.

Because of Kevin's hesitation, only three people were left in the second and fourth teams...

Since then, Ling and Kevin have had conflicts.

The seventh collapse came as expected. The power was so powerful that it made people lose the courage to resist.

In order to deal with the unprecedentedly powerful "Hersher of Fire", Dr. Mei and Mebius jointly planned the "Fusion Warrior" plan.

Kevin was the first to join the plan, and Alicia followed closely behind.

Ling did not hesitate and followed Alicia's footsteps to join the first batch of "Fusion Warrior" program.

That's a plan with a 0% success rate.

After entering the nutrient chamber, the factor of the emperor-level Honkai beast was injected into the body.

First there was endless pain, as if every bone in the body was ground into powder and then pieced back together bit by bit.

Repeated cycle...

Ling didn't know how he had managed to hold on. Perhaps it was his belief in pursuing Alicia that kept him going until now.

When the pain disappeared, Ling felt as if he was immersed in an endless ocean, his body falling continuously.

Keep going down...

He did not feel any discomfort, and even felt like a baby swallow in his arms. (Good water ability, start)

Finally, after two weeks, he succeeded.

He became a "Fusion Warrior"!

The emperor-level Honkai beast that Ling fused with was named "Black Turtle". It possessed the ability to control water flow and had extremely powerful defensive capabilities.

He seemed to finally be able to stand by Alicia's side.

However, just as he was about to step onto the battlefield, Kevin had already defeated the Herrscher of Fire...

And Alicia also succeeded. She was even better than Kevin and fused with the only Dharma-Ending-level Honkai Beast - "Mahayana".

The distance between him, Kevin, and Alicia didn't seem to shorten, but rather grew even greater.

……

Chapter 4: Madness

Even after becoming a "Fusion Warrior", he was still one of the weaker ones among the "Fusion Warriors".

Although they are both emperor-level Honkai beasts, Kevin seems to have cheated and his strength increases day by day.

Ling has never confronted Kevin head-on, but he knows very well in his heart that the current Kevin is far from being someone he can fight against.

Even Kevin and Alicia can form an army by themselves and carry out missions alone to eliminate the emperor-level Honkai beasts.

This is the difference between a genius and a mediocre person. No matter how hard Ling tries, he cannot surpass Kevin and Alicia.

But Alicia still kept Ling by her side as a comrade-in-arms.

Ling and Kevin seem to be the same type of people, but the difference is that Kevin is more dazzling and more successful than him.

Under the increasing pressure of collapse, the atmosphere inside the Fire Moth became increasingly oppressive.

Some of his less sociable teammates mocked him, calling him a "turtle", but Ling didn't care, or rather, there was no need for him to care.

The only person he cares about is Alicia.

Ling continued to develop his potential and squeezed out every bit of his free time for training, but the improvement in his combat effectiveness was still very limited.

With the development of technology, the frequency of Honkai attacks is increasing, and Honkai beasts are becoming more terrifying.

"Fusion Warrior" seems to have become just a simple noun.

Ling is a fusion warrior, but he cannot change any battle situation and can only do logistical work such as transportation and treatment on the battlefield.

But most of the time when I arrived, Alicia had already resolved the crisis.

During this period, Ling met a girl named Padova.

Coincidentally, she is also a fusion warrior, and weaker than Ling...

But she lives a much more transparent life than Ling. Her optimistic and cheerful personality helps Ling relieve a lot of the depression caused by putting too much pressure on herself.

And this... also strengthened Ling's determination to become stronger.

Everyone has a different way of living. Padu’s goal is just to get some sunshine and take a nap every day.

But all Ling wanted was to be able to follow her and have enough power to protect her.

Until the eleventh Herrscher arrived, after Hua successfully used "Yu Duchen" to penetrate the protection of the Herrscher of Constraint, Kevin's full-strength attack froze everything around him.

Almost all the fusion warriors lost their lives in this attack.

The defensive ability that Ling had never valued actually saved his life at this moment.

A sad and funny scene...

Everything around was covered in ice, but the ice was infused with blood and turned bright red.

After this battle, only 14 fusion warriors were left, and Pado escaped because of illness.

Alicia gathered everyone together, discussed together, and formed a team called "Fourteen Heroes of Chasing Fire".

Alicia ranked Ling at fourteenth place because she hoped that Ling would serve as the "solidest shield" to withstand all damage from behind.

Give it the inscription of "preserve and protect".

Ling of course chose to accept Alicia's proposal in its entirety.

However, even though Alysia tried her best to maintain the existence of the small group, under pressure from the top leaders of the Fire Moth, the "Fourteen Heroes of Fire Moth" existed in name only.

Alicia also proposed the "Paradise of the Past" plan, funded by Eden and built by Mebius, to back up the memories of the heroes.

Ling also participated.

Although Ling was given the title of "Protector", it was euphemistically said that he was protecting his teammates from damage from the rear.

But Ling knew very well that this was just an excuse used by Alicia to comfort herself, he couldn't do it...

So Ling made a bold attempt.

He took the initiative to find Mebius, the only person who could make him stronger.

Of course, Mebius had no reason to refuse the experimental materials that were delivered to his doorstep.

At this point, Ling fell into a deep sleep, and this sleep lasted for three years!

No one knew what Ling had been through in the past three years, but when he woke up, he felt stronger than ever before.

A lot of things happened in these three years. The twelfth Honkai erupted, the sisters Sakura and Ling died, and the Herrscher of Corrosion launched three nuclear bombs, almost wiping out the few remaining humans.

And Alicia...is also dead.

When Ling heard the news, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fainted again.

However, according to Mebius's narration, Alicia was the 13th Herrscher, but she willingly chose to die so that the remaining humans would still have the confidence to fight against the Honkai.

Ling couldn't believe this fact, but he could only face the yellow earth. A gorgeous crystal flower bloomed on her grave.

He gained great power, but the person this power was meant to protect had disappeared.

He sat in front of Alicia's grave for a day and a night. He did not cry, he did not get angry, he was only calm.

As calm as dead water.

So calm as if nothing had happened.

Afterwards, he participated in daily training, familiarized himself with his own strength, and carried out the tasks issued by the Fire Moth.

He even managed to fight Qianjie head-on and defeat him in a conflict...

Perhaps his strength is already on par with Kevin's, but all this seems to have no meaning to him.

Soon the end came, and Ling set foot on the battlefield called the Moon.

Less than ten minutes after the battle started, Qianjie and Kosmo were killed.

Ling's friend Padufilis died on the spot while trying to open a "door".

Ling blocked the fatal blow for Mebius, which prevented her from becoming the fourth person to die.

In the end, with the full power output of the Moonlight Throne and the full-strength attack of Kevin and Ling, the End was successfully shut down for twenty-four hours.

This also means that humanity has completely failed.

As the operator of the Moonlight Throne, Vilvi used the Moonlight Throne at full power to burn the entire battleship.

Her body drifted in outer space, becoming the fourth person to die in the Final War.

The surviving Ying Jie returned to the surface. Dr. Mei suffered irreversible damage to her body due to forcibly using the "Blank Key" in the battle with the Tenth Herrscher. Kevin didn't even have time to see her for the last time.

Before his death, Dr. Mei warned Su not to let Kevin go astray, and also... to be careful of Ling!

Kevin and Ling were unaware of this.

Ling buried Paduo in the place where she buried her treasure, and went to the paradise of the afterlife, deleting the backup of her memory left in the paradise of the afterlife.

Then he sat alone in front of Alicia's grave. In the last twenty-four hours, he just wanted to stay in this place.

Mebius seemed grateful for Ling's final help and asked if there was anything he could do, Mebius would fulfill his wish.

"I... want full authority over the Void Ten Thousand Treasures."

This was Ling's request, and Mebius was very confused about it, but she agreed.

Because for the current pre-civilization, the void and all the treasures have no meaning anymore.

Not long after, Mebius handed "Void Treasures" to Ling and then left quietly.

Ling successfully obtained all the permissions of "Void Ten Thousand Treasures".

The most precious thing in "Void Treasures" is never its ability to transform weapons, but the knowledge contained in it.

A crazy idea came into his mind, an idea that no one dared to think about - to resurrect Alicia.

……

Chapter 5 Layout

This is an extremely stupid and selfish decision.

Alicia sacrificed her life just to give the humans of the previous civilization the confidence to fight against the collapse and to give the new era's Herrscher the possibility of having humanity.

But Ling wants to destroy all of this with his own hands.

This is not only an insult to Alicia's death, but also an insult to her identity as a human being.

But Ling had gone mad when he learned of Alicia's death, and he had no time to care about other things.

This matter must not be known to anyone, otherwise he will be surrounded and attacked by all the other heroes, including Mebius!

The end has come, and Ling came out at the last minute before the hibernation chamber was about to sink.

He heard the last song of Eden, sad and magnificent, which put an end to the splendor of the former civilization.

He heard Prometheus and Mebius plotting something.

He heard Aponya praying sincerely before the paradise of the afterlife.
