Collapse, how did I become the Devil King of Destruction while playing a game?

Mebius and Vervière stood back to back, feeling a long-lost peace, and smiles appeared on their lips.

Then, a dazzling light shone in the city center.

A mushroom cloud, composed of various high-energy particles, thick smoke, and flames, slowly rose into the air.

Chapter 352 Rising Flames (4)

"What exactly is going on...?"

Fu Hua stared in disbelief at everything before her. She saw a huge mushroom cloud rising, and the people in front of her seemed completely unconcerned, simply leaning against each other and talking quietly.

If Fu Hua hadn't been able to understand the language these people were speaking, she would have mistaken them for a group of primitive people wearing clothes woven from grass.

"This is the real world that Kevin and May were talking about," Aponia's voice was lifeless and devoid of energy, merely a deathly narration of everything that was happening now.

In this destroyed, hopeless, and futureless world, humanity is simply incapable of rebuilding its civilization.

Aponia is incapable of taking on the responsibility of rebuilding human civilization, nor are Mebius and Velvet; rebuilding human civilization in such an apocalyptic world is far too difficult.

Even with the all-powerful Honkai energy, they were still fusion warriors, but with the civilization gone, the Honkai energy also disappeared.

The Fusion Warriors are very strong, but they are warriors, doctors, and scientists, not great leaders, much less gods. It is impossible for them and a small number of humans to rebuild human civilization.

"So, Mebius, Velvet, and Eden all chose to commit suicide?"

Su frowned, looked around, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

“Who knows?” Aponia gave an ambiguous answer.

Because she truly didn't know whether committing suicide in the Honkai world would allow her to truly return to the virtual world and treat everything she experienced in the Honkai world as a dream.

Returning to the virtual world from the jar always made Aponia feel that it wasn't really returning to the virtual world.

Su fell silent.

"You guys? What on earth happened?!"

Then, Kevin's incredulous voice suddenly rang out.

He and Mei went through a lot of trouble to successfully return to the Honkai world, but they never expected to witness a dazzling nuclear explosion.

When May and Kevin rushed to City One, they both felt the pervasive sense of despair and death among the people.

Sue saw Kevin and then walked over without saying a word.

“Su…” Kevin looked at his friend, and while Kevin was wondering what was going on, he was suddenly hit hard. Su punched Kevin hard in the head, but apart from making Kevin a little angry, it did not cause any damage to Kevin.

"You orchestrated all of this?!"

Sue's eyes were open, and she calmly gazed at Kevin and May.

Although Su's tone was very calm, those around her could sense the anger in her heart.

"It's me," Mei said indifferently.

Actually, Mei was the one who made the plans all along; everyone else was just carrying them out.

Su immediately raised her hand towards Mei, but Kevin stopped her just as she was about to hit Mei.

"Do you know exactly how many people died?" Su Zhi asked.

Mei nodded naturally, "I know."

She was fully aware of the consequences of her actions from beginning to end.

"This is also what the 12th Herald would like to see."

Mei answered calmly.

"As long as we can awaken Alicia, we can fight the 12th Herrscher together and finally turn things around," Kevin said firmly.

"Then... can you fight?" Qianjie's voice suddenly rang out.

But before Kevin or anyone else could speak, Qianjie's body burst into flames, launching a simple and brutal attack on Kevin.

"Qian Jie! What are you doing?!" Kevin caught Qian Jie's haphazard punch and asked coldly.

"Fight, and then, until death," Qianjie's voice was calm, without any hint of rage.

Then, Qianjie continued to attack Kevin without saying a word, burning her remaining Honkai energy with all her might. After the Honkai energy was exhausted, what burned next was Qianjie's own life.

Kevin couldn't understand what Qianjie was trying to do and kept questioning him loudly, but Qianjie remained silent and only focused on fighting.

This gradually made it impossible for Kevin to stop, because he could sense that Qianjie truly wanted to kill him, or be killed by him.

Aponia watched the earth-shattering battle scene with a calm expression; the fight between Kevin and Thousand Calamity had gone further and further apart.

She let go of Gretchen and Kosmo; she was exhausted.

The past year's persistence seems to have yielded no results. Aponia has always served as a psychological counselor for people, but as she hears more and more negative emotions in people's hearts, Aponia is inevitably affected by these negative emotions, because the things that cause these negative emotions are all real problems that are currently beyond her ability to solve.

Aponia rose and prepared to walk toward the nearby settlement, ready to give the newcomers one last briefing on the current situation. As for the future, she would leave it to others to create.

She was inwardly mocking herself, realizing that she was just an ordinary person who ultimately chose to escape.

However, as Aponia stood up, she suddenly noticed that Grey was holding her hand and following behind her.

"Gresh..."

"..."

Gretchen did not speak; her once bright purple eyes were now filled with desolation and death.

Aponia crouched down and touched Gretchen's blue hair.

“...I want to go home,” Gretchen said, her lifeless voice reaching Aponia’s ears.

“…Yes, let’s go home.” Aponia seemed to understand Gretchen’s thoughts, then picked her up and left.

Kosmo watched Aponia and Gretchen's figures, remained silent for a moment, and then followed them.

Fu Hua didn't know what Aponia was planning, but her intuition told her it might not be anything good.

"Aponia!" Fu Hua tried to persuade her to stay. She was still confused about everything, but she didn't know what to try to hold on to or how to do it.

Aponia did not turn back or stop, and left with Gretchen and Kosmo.

"President, I also want to go home," Padofelis silently approached Fu Hua and looked at her.

"..." Fu Hua didn't know what to say.

Although Fu Hua appears strong on the outside, that's just an appearance; she has no idea how to deal with the current situation.

“…Let’s…let’s look around,” Fu Hua said after a long silence.

Su Jingjing watched Fu Hua and Pado leave, leaving only himself, Mei, and Ying behind.

However, a short while later, Kevin returned to the Firemoth base with a complicated expression.

"Qian Jie is dead..."

Qianjie truly fought to the very end in his battle with Kevin, but Kevin couldn't understand why Qianjie did it.

Or rather, Kevin was actually fully aware of the situation deep down.

Before Mei could say anything, the others present suddenly heard another voice.

“Next… is my turn.” Sakura gripped the knife in her hand, or rather, a metal rod shaped like a katana, but that didn’t matter. Sakura was staring at Kevin with unparalleled sharpness.

"You?!" Kevin was stunned for a moment, but the next second, Sakura had already raised her sword to attack.

Sakura is now single-minded and has no mind to think about anything else. Her only thought is to kill the culprit who has destroyed her peaceful and tranquil life!

Kevin was forced to continue fighting, battling Sakura.

"boom!!!"

In the distance, a second mushroom cloud suddenly appeared, its dazzling light and flames catching Kevin and Sakura's eyes.

Kevin was stunned, but then Sakura took the opportunity to pierce Kevin's body with the knife in her hand.

This would be a fatal injury for an ordinary person, but it was just a minor injury for Kevin.

But Kevin's subsequent counterattack sent Sakura flying.

Only then did Kevin realize that Sakura was actually dead; she had exhausted her life force, fighting to the death in the same way.

"..." Kevin stared silently at Sakura's corpse.

When Kevin returned to the Firemoth base, he found only Mei; Sue had already left.

"plum......"

Kevin looked at May, unsure of what to say.

He already regretted it. What Honkai, what obsession, what Herrscher—it was all just a dream.

At this moment, Kevin suddenly recalled the peaceful and happy times he had spent with May.

Mei didn't say anything, but gently wiped the dust and tears from Kevin's face. Mei could feel that her hands were very cold when they touched Kevin.

So, Kevin's tears can freeze too.

Despite winning the continuous battles against Senju and Sakura, Kevin's Honkai energy was nearly depleted.

"I...I'm tired," Kevin said, utterly exhausted.

"Yes, it's time to end this," Mei said softly. "It's time to wake up from this dream."

Chapter 353 Rising Flames (5)

At the entrance of a dormitory building at St. Freya Academy, two girls were being inspected while carrying some small gifts.

"Thank you for your help," the green-haired girl and the gray-haired girl said politely.

"Okay, you can go in," the security guard at the door nodded.

Upon entering the dormitory, the two girls did not see anyone in the living room.

"Junior Alice, Junior Alice, we've come to see you!" the two girls called out.

"Hi? You're here!" Ellie had been waiting for a while. She came out of Ellie's room just as the two girls walked into the dormitory.

"Put your things down and sit for a while. Alicia is still getting ready."

"it is good"

The two girls chatted and laughed with Alice. After a while, Alice, who had already dressed up, came out of her room.

"Alicia, my junior"

"Hello, Hatsune-senpai and Luo-senpai!"

Alicia greeted the two girls with a smile. The two girls were students in the music department of St. Freya Academy and were Alicia's seniors.

However, Alicia rarely sees them often, as they are more often seen on stage or in various music programs.

However, after St. Freya Academy was attacked on a large scale once again, Luo Tianyi and Hatsune Miku had to suspend their activities and turn their attention to their juniors.

During their conversation with Alicia, Luo Tianyi, Hatsune Miku, and others sensed that although Alicia was still as enthusiastic and cheerful as ever, they could also perceive the sadness hidden deep in her heart.

"Are you feeling better now, Alicia? Which school are you planning to go to in the future?"

Luo Tianyi suddenly asked.

However, after she said this, Alicia fell silent. Alicia reached out and held her hand tightly. Looking at her sister's orange-red eyes, a trace of loneliness flashed in Alicia's clear blue eyes.

Luo Tianyi knew that her question might not be appropriate, but it was one of the purposes of her trip.

After a moment, Alicia finally spoke up helplessly.

"Yes, I'm fine now, I'm alright."

"As for St. Freya Academy... I still want to stay."

When Alicia said she wanted to stay, her tone was very firm.

“As for me, of course I’ll be the same as my sister,” Ellie said with a soft laugh, hugging Elise’s arm.

"It seems that the two junior girls have made the same choice as us," Luo Tianyi and Hatsune Miku smiled at each other.

"Huh?" Alicia was taken aback.

"Are the senior students also staying at St. Freya Academy?"

"Yes, no matter what difficulties arise, we will stay," Luo Tianyi and Hatsune Miku said earnestly.

St. Freya Academy is about to be dismantled.
