Collapse City, Starting with the Production of an Animated Honkai

"Welt is, after all, a partner."

"You stinky old man, I wasn't asking you!" Sirin gritted her teeth.

"Uh..." Ziegfried was clueless, not understanding why Sirin was angry. He decided not to think about it and continued watching the movie.

Cecilia watched the father and daughter's interaction and smiled gently.

[Just as Sirin gained the upper hand and began to swell with power, the God-Slaying Weapon developed by Anti-Entropy's Einstein arrived silently above Sirin. Her body's instincts told her that this weapon was very dangerous.

But with only three seconds left before the weapon hit her, she didn't have enough time to teleport herself to safety, nor did she have time to move the weapon away.

Sirin tried her best to teleport the weapon deep into the earth, using the earth as a shield. Under the intense explosion, the smoke formed a mushroom cloud, and Sirin was severely injured and collapsed to the ground.

Welt Yang arrived beside Sirin, the Star of Eden in his hand. He used his last remaining strength to unleash Zero-Point Power Output: Pseudo Black Hole, wanting to kill Sirin in one fell swoop.

Just as Sirin was about to fall, Welt Yang felt a heavy blow to his chest. Having just experienced a major battle, he knelt weakly on the ground. A white clown appeared out of nowhere and crushed the Star of Eden with his bare hands.

"So this is just a counterfeit replica." The clown said, not knowing whether he was talking about Welt or the Star of Eden.

Bella seized the opportunity to catch Sirin, spread her wings, and flew into the sky.

Watching Bella and Sirin getting further and further away, Welt didn't even have the strength to stand up, only trembling as he reached out his hand.

"Don't... don't go."

The clown stomped heavily on Welt's hand.]

"Damn Otto!" Welt Yang roared.

"This part of the plot must have been written by that Anti-Entropy expletive Otto," Tesla started telegraphing again.

Einstein sighed helplessly, "Why are you taking the movie plot so seriously? Destiny's little director can shape Welt into a hero fighting for humanity, can't he let Destiny's President bully him a little?"

If Welt was always praised as a hero, Einstein would feel uneasy, but letting Otto appear and bully Welt severely would feel normal to Einstein.

"Chickenhead, whose side are you on?"

"Me? I stand on the side of truth."

The two started arguing again, and Welt Joyce was very helpless.

"Awesome! President Otto, I'll never scold you again!"

Everyone was scolding the clown (Otto), but only Sirin was praising Otto.

Otto stabbed Welt in the back, but instead gave her a chance to live.

"But, Sirin, you became like this because of Destiny!" Bella suddenly said.

"Bella, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute." Sirin's gratitude to Otto dissipated again.

Ziegfried suddenly had an ominous premonition. He remembered that in the following plot, he seemed to...

[The clown raised his knife, wanting to use this opportunity to kill Welt, but the blade was shattered by a sudden cold shot. The clown turned his head, looking at Ziegfried who had arrived in time, and the Judgement of Shamash in his hand.

Ziegfried raised his gun, but before he could finish his tough words, he didn't notice a golden-red feather slowly falling beside him. Instantly, the clown appeared behind Ziegfried, having confiscated the Judgement of Shamash, and shot him in the abdomen.

"What?"

Ziegfried knelt on the ground.

The clown, or rather Otto, didn't want to kill Ziegfried yet, he just wanted him to back down and stop hindering him.

Welt was angry at Ziegfried's talk of mutual destruction. He believed that he couldn't hold on any longer, but Ziegfried was different. He had family, friends, and could protect this world.

"Close your eyes, leave here and live, go and protect this world, Ziegfried!"

"He's right, he's the First Herrscher, the enemy of humanity, and he's guilty of this alone." The clown also agreed: "And you, sir, have the mission of protecting the world on your shoulders."

Faced with both sides urging him to leave, Ziegfried was noncommittal. He knew that he had a 90% chance of losing against the clown masked man, but he would not run away!

Ziegfried endured the severe pain in his abdomen and punched the clown's mask.

This time, not only was the clown stunned, but even Welt was stunned.

The clown raised the Judgement of Shamash.

Ziegfried also raised another Judgement of Shamash.

"I've always hated those grand principles!"

"Protecting the world, sacrificing the few to benefit the many, I've never believed in those grand principles. I only do what I think is right."

"If I watched someone who has been kind to me twice die before my eyes, I would feel uneasy, and even my cooking would become bad."

Ziegfried closed his eyes, recalling Cecilia's beautiful figure in his mind.

"And, most importantly—if my wife finds out that I've done such an ungrateful thing when I get home..."

Ziegfried suddenly opened his eyes.

"I'll have to kneel on the washboard!"]

"Hahaha," Kiana laughed loudly, "Why... why can my stinky old man say such funny things with a straight face! Hahahaha."

Kiana laughed and rolled on the ground, took out her phone, and @Cecilia in the family group, "Mom, did you really make Dad kneel on the washboard?"

Cecilia quickly replied, "Nope~, Mom only made Dad kneel on the keyboard once."

"Honey, don't talk about these things in front of the kids," Ziegfried messaged.

"⊙﹏⊙" Kiana.

"⊙▽⊙" Sirin.

"What does Otto think?" Kallen asked.

"Well, after the New Year, Ziegfried should be back to work, right? The work on the second module has fallen behind quite a bit. I need to make him work overtime, at least 16 hours a day," President Otto said with a forced smile.

"Achoo." Ziegfried rubbed his nose and muttered, "Who's talking about me?"

In the Golden Courtyard, Blanca and Mark, being married, weren't present. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the only couple. Kevin felt uncomfortable under their gazes. "Why are you all looking at me?"

"Kevin?"

Hearing Elysia's sweet voice, Kevin froze instantly.

"If you make Mei unhappy, will you be punished to kneel on a washboard?" Elysia asked curiously, which was also what everyone else was wondering.

Kevin glanced almost imperceptibly at Mei, and saw that she was looking at him with a smile.

Kevin shook his head like a rattle-drum.

"Of... of course not."

Seeing Kevin's reaction, everyone understood.

Chapter 21: The Dark Side of the Moon

[Ziegfried seriously mentioned kneeling on a washboard, and Welt was completely stunned.

"Huh?"

The clown covered his exposed emerald green right eye, gritting his teeth under his mask. However, for his plan, he couldn't kill Ziegfried yet. He had to give up killing Welt, picked up his hat, and disappeared as dissipating feathers.

Ziegfried looked at the Judgement of Shamash on the ground, helped the seriously injured Welt back to the Tower of Babylon, where Einstein and Tesla barely managed to save his life with emergency treatment.

Ziegfried took it upon himself to let the Anti-Entropy group stay in the Tower of Babylon. During the days of treating Welt, Ziegfried was not idle. He investigated the clown, but still found nothing.

More importantly, Destiny's satellites showed that the dragon-type Honkai Beast Bella Ralles had already flown out of the atmosphere with the Second Herrscher, and Destiny had no weapons that could attack outside the atmosphere.

The seriously injured and unconscious Sirin lay on top of Bella Ralles' head. When she woke up, she heard a voice, a gentle voice that made her want to believe.

"My child."

"If you want to obtain true power..."

"Come to me."]

"Are there really people living on the moon?" Sakura asked doubtfully.

"Sister's silly. The moon definitely can't support life," Ling said, pretending to be a little adult. "We've already learned this in our junior high textbooks."

"Oh, you dare to look down on your sister now?" Sakura knew Ling's weakness was being ticklish, so she started tickling her under the armpits.

"Sister, hahahaha, sister, I... hahaha, I was wrong."

"Cool." Kosma's eyes lit up as he looked at the domineering Bella Ralles.

[At this time, the movie played Ziegfried's childhood. At the age of 15, Ziegfried was inspired by an animated film called Arahata, which ignited the fire in his heart. He didn't want to be bound by the Kaslana name. He wanted to go out and adventure. He wanted to become a 'hero'.

Thus, the number of times a Kaslana heir ran away increased from two to three, which made Bishop Otto very angry. Fortunately, Ziegfried's mother pleaded for him, and he was spared.

After that, Ziegfried spent four years traveling the world, using his own eyes to confirm the meaning of his life. Then, one day, while dealing with Honkai Beasts in a small town, he was met by Cecilia, who fell from the sky.

The gears of fate began to turn.]

This part of the memory was simply a love memoir of Ziegfried and Cecilia. It was estimated that only Ziegfried's family would enjoy watching it. At the same time, in different places, different people, and different times, the armrests of the seats all broke.

"Oh my, Mr. Ziegfried and Miss Cecilia are so sweet!?" Elysia clapped her hands.

"Hey, hey, Elysia!" Su looked in horror at Yaqing, who was emitting black aura all over his body. Even his usually narrowed eyes were wide open.

"What's wrong?" Elysia asked doubtfully. Seeing Yaqing, she was instantly stunned. This was the first time the fairy lady had seen someone in reality who was so angry that he was emitting black aura like in anime.

Elysia curiously poked him.

Even Mobius couldn't help but join in.

Yaqing thought to himself, "I clearly asked Patrick to shorten this part in the script. Why did he create it exactly as it was, and even added some extra material?"

"Damn it!!! My Cecilia!!!" Theresa let out a tragic cry.

"Ziegfried, you deserve to die!!!" A group of Destiny employees couldn't help it either. Anyway, it was a movie chartered by Destiny. Only Durandal, sitting in the middle, felt uncomfortable all over.

Ziegfried and Cecilia's love story brought unconscious smiles to the audience's faces, except for those connected to Destiny, of course. As Ziegfried and Cecilia's lips were about to meet, Otto also recalled Kallen's beautiful figure, and everyone else couldn't wait to tear Ziegfried to pieces.

The art style suddenly changed, and the sleeping Ziegfried awoke from the control panel of the Tower of Babylon, hearing a report that a large amount of Honkai energy reaction had been detected on the moon.

The unconscious Welt opened his eyes.

"The worst has happened..."

Amber's cold voice narrated again.

"All we can see is the side of the moon facing us, while the far side of the moon only had a blurry photograph sent back by the Soviet Union's Luna 3 satellite on October 7, 1955."

Otto appeared in the picture, looking at the photo in front of him, and clenched it tightly.

"Upon seeing the photo, Bishop Otto immediately classified it as top secret and immediately invested a large amount of resources to explore the moon."

"On the other side of the Earth, Anti-Entropy, sensing the Bishop's bizarre behavior, also began to study the moon. Both sides launched a large number of lunar probes within 12 years."

"Finally, after countless failures, Destiny's three astronauts successfully arrived on the far side of the moon, where they discovered Honkai energy that they thought only existed on Earth."

"And also, that thing shrouded in Honkai energy..."
