On the occasion of collapse

The sound of rising flames clearly reached the ears of everyone present. The injured Einstein heard Bai Zhi's words and struggled to get up, but was stopped by Tesla on the side.

She was hurt so badly.

"That's it. If you don't cooperate, I will also have a headache. After all, it takes a lot of effort." Bai Zhi folded the note and put it in her pocket, Bai Zhi said helplessly.

What bothered her was not killing Joyce. After all, killing a Herrscher didn't matter to her. It was the same as killing a humanoid Honkaiju. There was no difference.

What bothered her was Joyce's weird abilities just now, and she felt it would be a bit troublesome to kill him.

"Okay, First Herrscher, come back with me. It's good for you and me."

Bai Zhi does not trust the Herrscher. The information from pre-civilizations proves that the Herrscher will only be a demon who destroys the world, not a hero who saves the world.

The reason why Joyce can speak like this is because Joyce has not shown any hostility towards human beings so far, that's all.

"..." Joyce was silent. He turned around, looked at Einstein and Tesla with worried faces, and hesitated.

If you die, will you never see Liesel again?

(Ding~ Honkai Impact III Einstein’s full name: Liesel. Albert Einstein. Einstein is the surname, Liesel is the first name.)

But...if you just surrender like this...

"Do you understand? Then come with me. Don't worry, they will be fine." After waving her hand, Bai Zhi thought that Joyce had agreed when he didn't speak for a long time, then turned around and prepared to take him away. .

"I refuse." Bai Zhi just turned around, but before she even took the first step, Joyce's firm voice rang out again.

"Huh?" Bai Zhi turned her head and looked at Joyce, whose hands were trembling slightly, and raised her eyebrows in confusion.

It was obvious that as long as he followed her, nothing would happen to Einstein, Tesla, or that kid.

Why risk your life and say no?

If she wanted to, she could kill Einstein and the others together after killing Joyce.

Bai Zhi didn't understand why Joyce was joking with his own life and the lives of others.

If he was alone, it could be explained by his bloody nature, but Joyce was also carrying the lives of Einstein and others behind him.

This is what Bai Zhi doesn't understand.

Why should Joyce risk the comfort of other people's lives?

"Miss Bai Zhi, although your proposal is very tempting, I refuse." Slowly speaking, Joyce stood firm, looked at Bai Zhi, and spoke slowly but firmly.

"...Sure enough, the Herrscher is the Herrscher, and he doesn't care that his choice will bring danger to them." Looking at Joyce with a firm expression, Bai Zhi didn't understand the bond between them. What he saw was that Joyce ignored Einstein and the others' safety and capriciously took their lives.

"Although it is very troublesome, it is also the responsibility of the Valkyrie to destroy the Herrscher." Bai Zhi put her right hand in her pocket and stretched out her left hand, slowly transforming into a dragon claw.

"First Herrscher, I hope you can last longer."

Chapter 831 Joachim, Walter

"Poof!" His back hit the wall hard. Because his eyes were bloodshot, Joyce's vision was blurred. He couldn't see clearly the scene in front of him, but he shook his head desperately, hoping to wake up.

He cannot fall, there are people behind him who need to be protected...

"Huh? Can you still stand up? I remember you are the Herrscher of Reason, not the Herrscher of Turtle, right? Why are you so resistant to being beaten?" Bai Zhi put one hand in her pocket and looked at Joey who stood up unsteadily again. Si, said very contemptuously.

"Well, it doesn't matter. If you stand up, I'll knock you down again." Rubbing her neck, Bai Zhi walked up to Joyce and saw that she had already used all her strength just to stand up. He slowly stretched out a hand and grabbed Joyce's neck, lifting him off the ground.

"Ahem! Ha!" Feeling the huge force in his throat, Joyce clearly felt that he couldn't breathe.

Although the feeling of suffocation was not fatal, it still made him feel very uncomfortable.

He stretched out his hands and shook Bai Zhi's hand hard, hoping to break Bai Zhi's hand away.

Bai Zhi watched quietly as Joyce's nails left white marks on her skin, and then disappeared in the next second due to her powerful self-healing ability.

"I said, don't waste your efforts. Why don't you just follow me? It won't do you or me any good to get to this point." Looking at Joyce who was struggling, Bai Zhi said helplessly.

A living Herrscher is definitely more valuable than a Herrscher core, not to mention that Otto, the Herrscher, has been secretly cultivating it for many years.

If possible, Otto certainly hopes that it will be Joyce who returns to Destiny, not a core.

"Don't... think about it..." said with a ferocious face. Joyce's attitude was very firm. It was impossible for him to agree to Bai Zhi's proposal.

"...So, if you don't care about your own life or death, don't you care about them? If I told you that after killing you, I would kill them, would you still be as determined as you are now? "Turn around, Bai Zhi lifted Joyce so that he could clearly see the people in the ruins.

"Tesla, Einstein, Leanna, and that child. They will all lose their lives because of your stubborn choice. Even so, you still firmly choose to die?" When saying this, Bai Zhi died. Staring at Joyce, hoping to see even a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

But...she didn't.

"Sure enough, one shouldn't expect the Herrscher to change his choice because of human lives." Bai Zhi didn't understand the bond between Joyce and the others, and they didn't understand that they had beliefs that were more important than life.

In Bai Zhi's view, putting the life of an important person on something that has no chance of winning is a kind of indifference in itself.

"Bang!" Throwing Joyce's body to the side on the rubble, Bai Zhi looked at Joyce who seemed to have lost his ability to fight, and casually took off the golden cross necklace wrapped around his wrist.

"Boom!" The small necklace Bai Zhi suddenly grew bigger the moment she let it go, and hit the ground heavily.

"Da!" The wings of the cross unfolded, and a golden spear was taken out by Bai Zhi. (Didi, I wrote earlier that Bai Zhi cannot use Judah, but then I thought it was not practical, so I will change it here.)

"Then, goodbye, First Herrscher, thank you for not bringing any huge disaster to mankind." Standing in front of Joyce, Bai Zhi raised the spear in her hand and said coldly to Joyce .

"Shh!"

"Joachim!"

The moment the spear was about to hit Joyce, Bai Zhi saw a small figure standing in front of Joyce without her noticing.

"..." She stopped the spear in time, and Bai Zhi looked at the tip of the spear that was less than a few centimeters away from the boy's forehead, and moved her eyes to the boy.

"You are not allowed to hurt Mr. Walter!" The boy looked very scared, his eyes were filled with tears because of fear, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably because of instinct.

But even so, he still opened his arms and firmly protected Joyce with his body.

"...What the hell are you kidding here to join in the fun? Go back." Looking at the child standing in front of her, Bai Zhi sighed helplessly, withdrew her spear and waved at him casually.

"I don't! You are not allowed to hurt Mr. Walter! I will definitely protect him!" The boy stubbornly stood in front of Joyce, his legs trembling uncontrollably because of the murderous aura released by Bai Zhi in front of him. His eyes were crying because of fear, but his arms spread out firmly to block the weak Joyce behind him.

"Joachim, go back." The weak Joyce also saw clearly who was protecting him in front of him, young Joachim.

"I don't want it! Mr. Walter, run away quickly! I'll stop this woman!" Although his voice trembled, Joachim's attitude remained firm.

"Joachim! Don't mess around! Go back quickly!" Holding the gravel on the side, Joyce stood up again. He couldn't remember how many times he fell down and how many times he stood up. .

"I'm not messing around! It's like Mr. Walter has always protected us! This time it's my turn to protect Mr. Walter!" Young Joachim had something equally precious, but equally useless.

Powerless courage.

Sora has courage, but no strength to match it.

"..." Looking at the scene happening in front of her, Bai Zhi felt a wave of irritation.

She didn't understand why they were both protecting and being protected, so why could they sacrifice their lives for each other?

But... Bai Zhi would not do anything to an innocent child.

"Child, get out of the way." Lifting the spear, Bai Zhi deliberately aroused the pressure on the spear, trying to scare Joachim away.

"I don't!" Just as she thought, the young Joachim in front of her was obviously unable to withstand the pressure from Judas, and his nose and ears were already bleeding under the pressure.

"Don't let me lose my patience." Although she is unwilling to take action against Joachim in front of her, Bai Zhi has decided that if Joachim still doesn't get out of the way, she doesn't mind having another year on her already bloody hands. Small blood stains.

she does not mind.

"Mr. Walter, run away! I'll stop her!" Seeing Bai Zhi's increasingly intense and obvious murderous intent, Joachim still had no intention of getting out of the way, but continued to insist that Joyce run away.

"Joachim..." Looking at the small figure standing in front of him, Joyce seemed to have made up his mind, with a relieved smile on his face.

If you are here, even if I really die, the inheritance of the Herrscher of Reason will still not be cut off.

Chapter 832 Only love can conquer everything....

Looking at Joachim, Bai Zhi's eyes gradually became dangerous, as if the next moment she would raise the spear in her hand and end Joachim's young life.

"Sister Bai Zhi, the mission is terminated. You can return." At this moment, Otto's voice came from the communicator. Bai Zhi raised her head in surprise, as if she didn't understand why Otto suddenly terminated the mission.

"But I can kill this guy right away." Bai Zhi put her hand away and frowned, saying with some confusion.

"There is no need for this. In half an hour, Honkai energy fission bombs will fall in the center of New York and level the city." Otto's voice came to Bai Zhi's ears from the communicator, but his tone was plain. But it is a cold and cruel reality.

"..." After hearing Otto's words, Bai Zhi fell silent. She looked at the buildings in the distance that were not affected by the aftermath of the battle, and looked at the worried people on their faces.

A trace of unbearability rose in her heart, but it was immediately suppressed by Bai Zhi.

Nothing to do with her.

"Understood, I will retreat now." Under the puzzled looks of Joyce and Joachim, Bai Zhi retreated to Judah and inserted the spear back into Judah's spread flank.

Glancing at the worried people in the ruins, Bai Zhi ignored them. Instead, she shrank Judas again and looked at Joyce and Joachim.

"My mission has been terminated. Then, First Herrscher, I hope you can live well." After taking a look at the countdown to launch Honkai fission bombs sent to her by Otto, Bai Zhi raised her head and saw the person coming to respond. own transport aircraft.

"Goodbye, First Herrscher." He reached out and grabbed the steel chain dropped by the transport plane. Bai Zhi's body was slowly lifted into the air by the transport plane and flew into the sky.

"..." Joyce didn't know exactly what happened. He only knew that he survived in front of this woman who was as powerful as a monster.

"Joyce! The Bishop just informed me that Honkai Impact fission bombs will fall on New York in half an hour! With the power of Honkai Fission Bombs, the entire New York City will probably be razed to the ground." Leanna's voice Joyce's thoughts were brought back to reality, and he finally understood why Bai Zhi's eyes looked like that before she left.

Bai Zhi was very curious as to whether a Herrscher could survive the blow of a Honkai Impact fission bomb.

.......

Later, Bai Zhi heard that Joyce was still dead, but he and Leanna protected the people in New York and fulfilled his promise to protect everyone.

Later, Bai Zhi heard that Joyce had entrusted the Herrscher Core to a child named Joachim before he died. Bai Zhi had the impression that he was the boy who stood in front of her.

Later, the North American branch rebelled against the destiny and called itself Anti-Entropy.

Bai Zhi didn't care, because the Herrscher was indeed dead, and Joachim, who had obtained the Herrscher's core, seemed to Bai Zhi to be just a human being using the Herrscher's power.

.......

When time returned to the present, and recalling this incident, Bai Zhi found that her view of Joyce was different.

At first, she thought that Joyce was just for his own safety in stopping the Honkai fission bomb, but now, Bai Zhi felt that maybe Joyce really wanted to protect mankind.

"The Herrscher who fought for mankind...Joyce...Walter Joyce..." Recalling Joyce's name, Bai Zhi's eyes flashed.

She didn't want to believe that the first Herrscher was the Herrscher who fought for mankind, but when various facts and evidence that she had ignored were put in front of her, Bai Zhi had to admit that Joyce might be Alicia. The Herrscher who fights for mankind.

But, if it happened again, Bai Zhi thought, she would still choose to kill Joyce.

Bai Zhi is more willing to believe in herself than to believe in others.

"But..." Thinking of this, Bai Zhi raised her head and looked at the chandelier on the courtyard dome.

"Do Herrschers really fight for mankind? And why do they fight for mankind? It is obvious that all the Herrschers of pre-civilization have caused irreversible harm to mankind. Then why, the Herrschers of our generation have Will the Lawyer fight for mankind?" With this question, Bai Zhi thought about it for a while, but found that she could not find the answer at all.

I can't find any reason why the Herrscher would fight for humanity.

"Is it because of feelings? Or... other reasons?" Frowning, Bai Zhi found that apart from the power of emotion mentioned by Alicia, she couldn't find another Herrscher to fight for mankind. reason.

'Sister Bai Zhi, the power of love is powerful and incredible.Love can conquer all things and create incredible miracles. '

Recalling what Otto once said to her, Bai Zhi suddenly realized that the 'love' Otto mentioned was the same thing as the emotion Alicia mentioned.

This is a miracle that belongs to mankind itself, a miracle that only humans can cause.

"Only love can conquer everything..." He murmured, and maybe Bai Zhi also understood what Otto meant when he said that love could conquer everything.

"........"

"........"

"But if love can conquer everything, why didn't Cecilia's love defeat the Second Herrscher?"
