Collapse: Herrscher at the beginning, pre-rebirth civilization

Maybe, I can still grieve over your passing... which means I'm still human.

But, for some reason, I suddenly miss you a little bit.

It's just... I really want to.

Chapter 256 Heartache, Lament of Wine

In the end, he died.

At least at the last moment, she didn't die as the enemy of mankind, the Herrscher of Flame.

At the last moment, she was Himiko, still the captain of the fifth team, a human hero.

I just don't know if she is worthy of such a title.

But in Su Shixiu's heart, sister Himiko has always been worthy.

Watching Kevin slowly fall to the ground, and take out the core of the Herrscher, which was as hot and red as a flame, from her corpse, Su Shixiu just held the gourd cup tightly, without saying a word.

At this time, Kevin looked at his best friend.

For some reason, this time he read the emotion called sadness from Su Shixiu's eyes.

If it were him in the past, he would definitely speak at this time, trying to comfort his best friend.

But he didn't.

For some reason, he suddenly understood that Su Shixiu didn't need anyone to comfort him at this moment.

He just needs to be quiet, even if he is standing there, just give him a quiet time alone.

After all, Himiko...but his elder sister is also his senior.

It is a lie to say that I am not uncomfortable in my heart.

It's just that his heart is much colder.

From the moment he became a fusion warrior, from the moment he came to the battlefield, from the moment he gradually made up his mind to kill Herrscher during the battle, that sunny boy who used to be a bit stupid and a little bit of a beating has completely disappeared.

He began to understand the burden on the hero and the meaning of salvation.

He also began to strengthen a belief, which he also had to strengthen.

Humanity will definitely defeat the collapse.

"Ash...you..."

Alicia, who rushed over excitedly, immediately sensed the strange emotions between Su Shixiu and Kevin.

Su Shixiu shook his head, sat down on the edge of the ruins, closed his eyes, and refused to speak.

Kevin looked at Su Shixiu's heavy back, and at this moment he finally understood what Su Shixiu was carrying.

Becoming a hero is not a glory, but such a painful thing.

Su Shixiu, who closed his eyes, felt the power of [Heaven] in his body that could no longer be activated, and his heart ached even more.

"Sister... As expected, Ah Xiu still didn't do anything."

"I... can't forgive myself a little bit."

"As expected... I'm still too weak..."

The voice of the heart, the listener will no longer have others except himself.

With closed eyes, a tear fell unknowingly.

Hope for others...just despair for yourself?

If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being powerless.

Seeing Su Shixiu who was crying, Alicia couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart.

She tried to comfort the boy, but Kevin stopped her.

He needs to be alone for a while.

After all, the so-called hero, after taking off the halo of glory, is just a powerless ordinary person.

He began to understand Su Shixiu.

This feeling of killing a comrade-in-arms is really uncomfortable afterwards.

What's more, Himiko was also one of the seniors he respected, no matter who he puts this feeling on, he will definitely not let it go so easily.

At some point, when the first ray of sunlight broke through the sky and pierced through the sporadic fireworks and billowing smoke covering the ruins, the young man who closed his eyes and felt sad alone finally opened his eyes.

Looking at the sunlight falling into his eyes, Su Shixiu felt for the first time that the rising sun was not so glaring for him for the first time.

On the contrary, he only felt that the sunlight fell on him, which was so imperceptible.

That's weird, the sun should be very warm.

But, why did Su Shixiu feel so cold when the sun fell on him?

It's cold, it makes me feel a little uneasy...

The galaxy spear in his hand instantly dissipated into a ray of starlight, and at this time Su Shixiu's condition had improved a lot.

Not many people can recover from Honkai, but they have begun to heal their physical injuries on their own.

Even in this battle that lasted for a day and a night, the little physical strength that was lost has almost recovered.

As for the mental power of controlling objects in the air, after a short period of closing the eyes to rest, it has almost recovered.

At least, the brain is not so painful anymore.

"Drink some water, Ash?"

Looking at the glass of warm water handed out beside him, Su Shixiu wasn't that surprised.

When he closed his eyes, he could feel that someone was always by his side to protect him.

Alicia...is the captain.

"Ah."

After receiving the water, Su Shixiu drank it without noticing that it was Alicia's own glass.

After fighting for so long, he was indeed a little thirsty, and besides, he really didn't have the mood to take care of so much.

However, even such warm water could not soothe the pain in his heart.

After handing it to Alicia, Su Shixiu focused his gaze on the corpse not far away.

"Sister Ellie, do you have any wine?"

Seeing the sadness and longing in the young man's eyes, Alicia couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart, and then nodded.

Hen brought her a few bottles of wine just now, and said that if Su Shixiu wanted to drink, he could just give it to him.

Sure enough, no matter how worried I am about Su Shixiu, I still don't know the boys' situation better than the boys.

Looking at the wine in his hand, Su Shixiu's hand flashed coldly, and he held the water glass she had given him.

Oh no, it is more appropriate to call it wine gourd.

As the saying goes, getting drunk relieves a thousand worries, and Su Shixiu suddenly understood why people who are under a lot of pressure or who carry too many burdens generally like to drink.

After drinking a whole gourd of wine, seeing what was left, Su Shixiu drank it all in one gulp.

It's so spicy, I feel like coughing when I drink it, but the spicy pain in my throat makes the pain in my heart lessen.

Holding the remaining wine bottle, Su Shixiu walked to Himiko's body.

Looking at her beautiful face, and at the last moment of her life, she showed him a charming, yet reluctant and regretful smile.

Sister... I'm sorry, it's Ash who is incompetent.

With a thought, the lids of several wine bottles flew off instantly.

Following Su Shixiu's thoughts, all the wine was poured beside Himiko.

"Go all the way, Sister, take this bottle of wine as my brother's farewell gift."

The sun lit up the sky, and day had finally arrived.

The heroes revered by the people are kneeling next to the corpses of their enemies at this moment, remembering the hero's important predecessors.

Tears dripped down helplessly, and Su Shixiu's heart ached more and more.

This time is different from the past, at least the last time we parted, there is still a slim chance of a reunion.

Only this time, he will never see her villain again, nor hear her teasing and laughter from now on.

Alicia stood aside, watching Su Shixiu sobbing like rain, and felt even more uncomfortable.

Su Shixiu...he has always been the boy she first met, a delicate, gentle, sensitive and fragile boy.

Her departure would only make his heart hurt more and more.

Because everyone he meets is very important to him and irreplaceable.

Facing every right person, Su Shixiu had a hard time giving up easily.

[How much does a person have to go through before he can truly understand how weak his own strength is? 】

[Although it is regrettable, because of regret, it is even more difficult for us to forget the beauty of this memory. 】

[At least, if you have had a happy time, you can be content. 】

[Parting is something that everyone will experience, even Su Shixiu is no exception. 】

【Even for young people who are already prepared, it will take a while to accept the real parting...】

Chapter 257 Fleeting Years, Weakness of Words

Until noon, the gunpowder smoke in the Australian mainland finally faded a lot.

Even the fireworks in the sky were completely gone.

The battle is over, and the fighters who have been fighting for hours can rest.

Some people still have a little strength left, enough to support him to sit down in front of the remaining buildings.

And some people don't even have the strength to do so, they simply sit on the ground, or lie down directly.

The Seventh Great Crash came to an end in this way. Human beings paid a heavy price, but they finally won this hard-won victory.

I don't know how many soldiers this time have been sleeping forever on the continent of this Australian region, never going back home.

But at least, the most important family members of those soldiers did not have to worry about being threatened by Honkai.

The soldiers teased each other about the incompetence of their dead comrades, who failed to even survive.

Just teasing and joking, I don't know how many soldiers can't laugh anymore, and many young soldiers even cried quietly.

In this battle, mankind paid a heavy price, and it also let people all over the world see how terrifying Honkai is.

Because of the collapse, countless warriors who set foot on this land could no longer leave.

Some people are lucky enough to be able to leave a whole body, while some even look extremely hideous when they die.

What's more, there is no trace of their existence.Vertex Fiction

Only their remaining nameplates or tokens can prove that they have lived in this world.

It is also these commemorative items that have witnessed the disintegration of countless families.

Because of the existence of emotions, people are united and extremely firm in the face of this disaster that can destroy civilization.

However, because of such things as emotions, people will be extremely fragile and weak when facing the death of an important person.

It's not that these people's hearts are fragile, on the contrary, it's just that they are reluctant to leave their friends.

Because of such emotions, we always feel very uncomfortable when we face those regrettable things.

But it is precisely because of such emotions that human beings can continue to grow stronger amid repeated setbacks and tribulations.

Perhaps, the next collapse will become stronger and stronger.
