The promised third collapse, where is it?!!

The young girl waved her hands repeatedly, "The total amount of Honkai Energy within me is about the same as yours, Fu Li. It's just that every time I use it all up, I don't know where the Honkai Energy (Conquest Gem) comes from to replenish what I've lost."

Simply put, Mei's body was like a cup filled with liquid, with a faucet closed above it.

Once the cup was empty, the faucet would automatically open and refill it for free.

Fu Li pondered for a moment, "Have you ever tested the limit?"

"No."

The young girl shook her head.

In the past, she lived a life of luxury. After her family fell into decline, her 'enemies' were nothing more than petty thugs. She never even needed to use Honkai Energy, so naturally, she never had the chance.

Fu Li's expression shifted, and he said in a seductive tone, "Then, do you want to try?"

Kiana looked at him and thought, I know this look! He had this exact expression when he tricked me into messing with Susannah back then!

That inherently evil brat A Li, I'll show you—

Mei interrupted his spellcasting, "If it can help you!"

"Alright then."

He tossed his phone into the air, and Fu Li formed hand seals with both hands.

The Honkai Energy within the Spirit Gathering Ring was instantly depleted. In contrast, dozens of Shadow Blades hung upside down, glinting coldly.

They were used like a drone swarm that inputs a specific formula, setting a few as anchor points for the formation to guide the other sword weapons for attack or defense.

"Let's go, let's go give them a taste of this!"

He waved his hand, and these Shadow Blades, led by the first sword, sped off.

Mid-flight, they split into seven, raining down and heading towards the seven Shadow Phantoms directly controlled by Fu Li.

They rained down, magnificent and unrestrained!

This wasn't the end.

Facing the hand Fu Li extended, Mei gripped it tightly without a hint of hesitation, allowing him to directly control the Honkai Energy within her.

If it was plug-and-play, there would be no need for the Spirit Gathering Ring as an intermediary to profit.

This process repeated seven times, back and forth. The young girl, acting as a relay station, was drenched in sweat.

The repeated draining of her Honkai Energy felt no different than climaxing seven times in a minute.

"Mei!"

Kiana rushed over, her heart aching, to support her. Mei, however, smiled happily.

She panted with effort, "This way, I've helped, right?"

"You've helped a lot!"

Fu Li caught the falling phone and gave the young girl a big smile.

"The rest is up to the phantoms."

Although he said it was up to them, it was still Fu Li who was working tirelessly.

However, there was no need to emphasize this. Ants on a rope shouldn't bicker over such trivial details.

Chapter 57: "Does Bronya Wear Diapers?"

Time flew by. Unbeknownst to them, the bright moon and stars rising in the sky had joined forces to drive away the sun that refused to set.

Fu Li glanced at the darkening sky and turned back, saying, "With Soth and the phantoms drawing the enemies away, the next one to two hours will be a window period for Anti-Entropy to target us."

He suggested, "It's best to find a place to rest during this time, and if it's suitable, we can spend the night there directly."

Before his rebirth, it wouldn't have mattered. But now, he couldn't possibly maintain control over such a large number of Shadow Blades with his attention divided all the time.

If it exceeded a certain limit, he might genuinely end up with schizophrenia.

"Hmph hmph! My Soth is amazing!"

Kiana's nose nearly touched the sky after receiving Fu Li's affirmation, "Oh, and Soth too!"

"Don't worry, once things are safe here, I'll find a way to bring its artificial intelligence back with me."

"Okay!"

The girl didn't doubt him. "Then where do we go next?"

Going home was definitely out of the question.

Not only could they not go home, but the route to leave Changkong City was also blocked.

The moment Bronya was defeated, a semicircular sky shield suddenly rose at the city's edge, enveloping an area of several dozen miles.

The sky shield vanished as quickly as it appeared, but the surging lightning within it didn't escape the eyes of Fu Li and the others.

—Magnetoelectric Sky Curtain Conversion Matrix. Theoretically, it requires numerous high-tech materials, cutting-edge equipment, and a large team for a long setup time. However, as Anti-Entropy's base in the Far East, Changkong City is guaranteed to be equipped with such a large-scale energy conversion device.

Once activated, this matrix forms a magnetic field barrier covering the urban area (including underground). The high voltage electricity, sufficient to power a small modern city, is evenly distributed across these invisible magnetic fields.

The barrier remains in its dormant state during normal times to conserve energy.

Should any unauthorized person or entity attempt to foolishly cross it, the uniformly distributed current will instantly converge at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, delivering divine punishment to these rule-breaking trespassers.

Furthermore, the converted electromagnetic force will significantly disrupt the magnetic field near the barrier. Unless you possess a space-time skill of B-rank or higher, don't even think about escaping via teleportation.

Given Fu Li and the others' current situation, an escape dagger (D-rank) that doesn't require positioning is too low-level.

While the Flying Thunder God Kunai (B-rank) could penetrate, the issue is that it needs to be thrown to establish a position. The moment it pierces the barrier, it would be instantly vaporized by the electricity.

This is also the main reason why the young men and women, after reuniting, never mentioned going to the Yae Village ruins. They couldn't even get out, so they decided to find a place to rest first.

Even machines need lubrication after running for a long time, and these three have been fighting non-stop for an entire afternoon.

However, being able to command an A-rank like Bronya is one thing, but to actually have the authority to activate an over-spec item like the Magnetoelectric Sky Curtain Conversion Matrix makes Fu Li even more curious about who the mastermind behind this incident is.

He didn't have to wait long for an answer.

"Let's find an empty, unoccupied house and sneak in. Anti-Entropy is probably already issuing a city-wide warrant. Sneak into the village, quietly—"

He glanced at the video surveillance directly above him, and Fu Li's previously indifferent gaze instantly sharpened: "Damn it! What kind of dogshit is Cocolia?!"

A standard Siberian double-breasted military uniform, a white fox fur cloak draped over her shoulders, and a pair of military boots on her feet.

The low-cut women's military uniform revealed a deep cleavage, and the high slit design on her lower body made her fair and plump thighs appear and disappear.

That's right, the beautiful blonde woman Fu Li saw was Cocolia, who had rushed back to the city.

In the surveillance footage, she was directing her employees and numerous mechanical constructs in front of her. As Fu Li cursed, she even looked up at the sky thoughtfully.

Fortunately, he had already ordered the Shadow White Dove to ascend into the clouds, and with the combined efforts of two phantoms sacrificing themselves to take down the enemy, they had barely managed to evade her uncanny sixth sense.

"Mmm..."

Perhaps sensing a familiar name, Bronya, on Fu Li's back, trembled her eyelashes, seeming to be on the verge of waking from her dream.

"I'll hit her!"

Kiana was one step ahead, smashing her rifle butt onto the back of Bronya's head.

However, she forgot that she was supporting the semi-conscious Mei. Noticing this, Fu Li quickly stepped forward, taking Kiana's place.

The two, cleaning up each other's messes, looked at each other. Kiana was the first to complain, "Why were you yelling so loud just now?"

"You be gentler!"

Fu Li gently placed Bronya down, looking at the large bump on the back of the girl's head with a sigh.

"Heh!"

Kiana Cat watched with cold eyes. Seeing his reaction, she thought, He still has the nerve to say he's not a lolicon!

"What 'heh'? Aren't you going to lend a hand!"

The harem king, with Mei on his left and Bronya on his right, said irritably.

"Just hold them. It's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh."

Kiana said sarcastically.

Fu Li rolled his eyes: "I'm warning you, grasshopper. I always adhere to the principle of not touching a friend's wife. But if you insist on delivering the defenseless Mei to my doorstep, I might reluctantly accept her as my first wife."

"You-you-you said you wouldn't get married!"

Kiana quickly rushed over and took Mei away, while secretly regretting her actions.

I should have put Mei first. Why was I just teasing this annoying guy?

I really shouldn't have, I really shouldn't have. Forgive me, forgive me...

However, thinking about Fu Li's behavior just now, she couldn't help but wonder, "Who is Cocolia? Why did you get so flustered when you saw her?"

"The leader of the Anti-Entropy reformist faction, the foremost big shot among the Executor class."

"Executor?!"

The white-haired girl was shocked: "Isn't that the same as Father-in-law?"

"Much stronger than Raiden Ryoma. One handles production, the other actually holds military power. Setting aside their functions, which one do you think is more capable in a fight?"

"Without soldiers produced, you can't fight a war!"

"That's why I said setting aside their functions!"

Fu Li had a headache. He really couldn't understand why Cocolia would appear in Changkong City.

Although she would be arrested by Anti-Entropy two years later for reasons that cannot be revealed to outsiders, it did not negate her formidable nature.

As an Executor with immense power, Cocolia alone could mobilize powerful troops equivalent to an entire medium-sized faction.

Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are super-large factions. Below them are large, medium, and small...

As someone who had been struggling in the Honkai world for two and a half years, Fu Li knew very well what the term "medium-sized faction" meant within these four broad categories.

The Hyperion's mysterious nature aside, let's take the medium-sized faction [Eight Faces of Wrongful Death], which had once hired him, as an example.

Eight people, eight faces, all at the brink of death.

This was the caliber of an Anti-Entropy martial Executor, a force capable of rivaling a single S-rank or a Judgment-class Honkai Beast.

You're pitting Fu Li against a big shot like that—hmm, I'd say it's a 30/70 split, maybe.

Three punches from them, and he'll be over his seventh day memorial.

But very quickly, Fu Li realized something was wrong.

If Cocolia had truly gone all out to capture him and his companions, she could have found them whether they were hiding in Changkong City or even at the bottom of the Far East Trench and dragged them out with her battleship. It wasn't like this current situation where she was so clueless.

Could it be...

"Is the big boss here for an inspection?"

He muttered to himself.

A soft, white little hand waved in front of his eyes.

Fu Li grabbed it and looked irritably at its owner, "What do you want?"

"To save the air you almost suffocated with your furrowed brow."

Kiana said with a grin, "Why the sudden serious face? Is there some trouble you want to tell this young lady about?"

"I really don't like that woman and want to beat her to a pulp and trample her to death, is that not allowed?"

Feeling annoyed, Fu Li brushed her off casually and continued to ponder his own matters.

He pushed her hand away, but she gripped it back.

He raised his eyebrows and looked, her beautiful rose-colored eyes hitting the bullseye.

"Actually, this young lady is also interested in her."

She raised their interlocked hands, "You can share her with me; don't think you have to carry it all alone."

Her braided pigtails, flung behind her, bloomed open, her smile as sunny and bright as ever.

Don't think you have to carry it all alone.
