Collapse City, Starting by Making an Anime Version of Honkai

Do you hate an ant?

Once it was confirmed that the other party was truly a god, there was only one question to ask.

"To cram all the truths of the world into one person's mind, this is truly the work of a god," Mobius said self-deprecatingly. "To obtain the truths of the world, one must abandon the limitations of the human brain, unless..."

"Don't think about it, Senior Mobius. This is just a movie. There's no god in the world to stuff all the truths into your head," Yaqing pushed Mobius's pretty face away.

"Yaqing, why are you so devoid of love?"

"Senior Mobius, love is for girls."

Mobius was furious upon hearing this.

"You're saying I'm not a girl?!"

"Oh my, Yaqing, how could you say that? What about Mobius~?" Elysia covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Shut up, Elysia. Don't think I don't know you're the one corrupting Little Griseo," Mobius's veins bulged on her forehead.

"Elysia doesn't know~?" Elysia's eyes suddenly became clear and foolish.

"I wish I could do that too," Kiana said enviously. "If I could just stuff all the knowledge directly into my brain, I wouldn't have to study so painfully."

"Stop dreaming, Kiana," Bronya shattered the brainless idiot's fantasy. "The limits of the human brain are insufficient to support all knowledge. The consequence would be your brain exploding like a balloon."

"Bro~nya, can't I even imagine it!" Kiana said, hands on her slender hips, in mock anger.

"All the truths of the world," Theresa said happily, taking a freshly squeezed bitter melon juice from the kitchen. "Is there a way to make everyone in the world like drinking bitter melon juice?"

Everyone looked at Theresa in horror.

Humanity did not deserve such a fate.

The Collapse was nothing compared to this.

"God, I have only one remaining doubt. I want to know how to truly bring the dead back to life."

"She is the most important person to me. Her name is Kallen, Kallen Kaslana..."

Otto clasped his hands together, showing immense piety. However, this time, the god did not answer him.

In Otto's mind, only past memories appeared.

The people he had hurt...

The sins he had committed...

The lies he had told...

Seeing these memories, would Otto regret them? Would he feel guilty? Perhaps, but not now. Now, he just wanted an answer.

"Please tell me the answer, great god. To save her, I would do anything."

Seeing Otto's reaction, the god smiled. The cross in its hand transformed into a blade and fiercely stabbed itself in the chest. As the blade pierced, Otto's body gradually disintegrated.

What was the meaning of the god's final action?

Was it to punish Otto for his sins?

Or some kind of revelation?

Or perhaps, even the god did not have the answer to this question?

Returning to reality, Otto let out a painful wail, feeling countless pieces of information surge into his mind like a tide, his brain rapidly dissipating from the inability to contain such a large amount of intelligence.

The only image that remained was the moment the god pierced itself with the blade.

The meaning of this image would only be understood by him ten years later.

In the illusion created by Fu Hua with Feather of the Wind, Sirin grabbed the hilt of the Ruoshui sword, which had pierced her chest.

"Oh no, she's about to wake up!"

"What does the god mean? For Otto to kill himself to exchange one life for another?" Kevin asked in a low voice, as Mei was asleep.

"It's easy for Otto to kill himself, but how to exchange one life for another, that's the problem," Su said.

"Don't tell me Otto has to become a Herrscher too?" Mobius said unintentionally.

Yaqing looked as if he had seen a ghost.

These people were guessing all his future plot points. How could he still earn their eye... cash?!

For this segment of the plot, Otto cooperated wholeheartedly. Even when Yaqing and Shub felt it was acceptable, Otto insisted on redoing it a hundred or even a hundred and eighty times.

Kallen blushed.

Seeing this, Otto felt his efforts had not been in vain.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Tai Xu Sword God, A Sword Severing a God

With the god's help, Sirin broke free from Feather of the Wind's illusion. When she opened her eyes, a powerful shockwave erupted from her as the origin point, pushing even Fu Hua back with its force.

The god had told her everything, influencing her thoughts and limiting her power. Sirin fiercely crushed a feather from Feather of the Wind. The Herrscher core floated beside her. She used the Herrscher of Reason core to create several large stone blocks, then imbued them with the authority of the Herrscher of Flame.

"Let me show you the true power of a Herrscher!"

Facing Sirin, who had fully unleashed her Herrscher power, Fu Hua understood that if she let her escape, even all of Destiny wouldn't be enough to stop her.

With that thought, Fu Hua closed her eyes. The only way to stop Sirin was to burn Feather of the Wind.

"All that has passed..."

The twin sisters Cangxuan and Danzhu, dressed in ancient costumes yet incredibly revealing, and the golden-robed girl holding the Xuanyuan Sword.

"...is now offered to this sword..."

Four indistinct phantoms. A woman with high red pigtails and a middle-aged man with blond hair and a beard stood back-to-back. Cheng Lixue stood in the middle, looking back suddenly.

When Fu Hua opened her eyes, she was already suspended in mid-air, a divine bird-like flame behind her, and a dazzling golden longsword in her hand.

"Feather of the Wind - First Rated Power!"

The divine bird flame let out a sharp cry towards the sky, flapped its wings, and soared into the clouds.

"What is that?" Sirin looked at everything before her, completely bewildered.

"Tai Xu Sword God!"

The divine bird that soared into the clouds transformed into a massive sword edge, descending with an immeasurable oppressive force. This special effect was incredibly powerful, jointly produced by Yaqing and Welt Yang.

"F-falsely boasting! An attack from mere ants..." Sirin yelled, but she had already silently used her Void Herrscher authority to prepare to tear space and escape.

"A god is the utmost of change, wondrously speaking of all things, and cannot be questioned by form. This is the fifth essence of Taixu Sword Qi—Divine Essence." Fu Hua, in mid-air, saw Sirin's desire to escape but remained unhurried, explaining.

"It has no form and needs no form. This sword fills space; this sword is space. Therefore, it is everywhere and invincible. Herrscher, this sword—"

The massive sword edge split the towering Tower of Babylon in half from top to bottom.

"—is unstoppable."

"Are those Cangxuan and Danzhu?" Mobius had quite a deep impression of these two troublesome lab assistants.

"Why are they appearing too?" This was something Mobius couldn't understand. Yaqing hadn't even met the sisters, yet they could be linked to Fu Hua, who had no relation to them.

"Every time I see Hua make a move, I can't help but be amazed," Kitty exclaimed.

"Old fossil, you're actually this cool?!" Little Knowledge was unconvinced. She was the one who asked Yaqing for a role first, so why was Fu Hua appearing first?

"These special effects are amazing!" Kiana was so shocked by this wave of effects that she was speechless. As expected of Destiny Group; only Destiny had the money to produce such technology.

Bronya knew that Anti-Entropy also possessed such special effect technology, but the tokusatsu filmed by Anti-Entropy had never used this technology. The reason was simple: two words, no money. These few minutes of Tai Xu Sword God would cost nearly a million US dollars to produce.

Bronya couldn't help but sigh. Anti-Entropy was struggling to make ends meet, while this private "crown prince" of Destiny was simply here to enjoy life, completely disregarding budget constraints, only wanting to film his own script.

The Tower of Babylon, split in half by the Tai Xu Sword God, collapsed with a roar. Facing the massive flaming sword edge, Sirin could only go all out, barely managing to block it with an imaginary barrier.

"As long as God is with me, I will never lose to you!"

"Mere ants dare to oppose God!"

Sirin hid within the barrier, a smug smile on her face.

As the Tai Xu Sword God fiercely clashed with the imaginary barrier, the sword edge pierced directly into Sirin's consciousness space, shattering the "God" seated on a stone chair, who had taken on Sirin's form, into fragments.

"Tai Xu Sword God, formless and boundless."

Fu Hua clutched her left arm, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. She couldn't understand. That sword could pierce any tangible barrier and strike directly into the depths of consciousness—imperceptible, unknowable, and therefore irresistible, utterly vanishing from the inside out.

"I truly hit it with this sword."

The longsword in Fu Hua's hand shattered in response.

Why didn't the Herrscher disappear?

There was a colossal existence deep within the Second Herrscher's consciousness that took the blow of the Tai Xu Sword God for her.

"Could that be the God the Second Herrscher spoke of? The origin of all Herrschers, the Collapse Consciousness itself..."

After using Feather of the Wind - Zeroth Rated Power, Fu Hua had no strength left in her body and weakly fell backward.

"Second Herrscher..."

"Is it my bad luck, or are you fated not to die?"

Fu Hua muttered to herself. As she fell, she was caught by a familiar brown-haired man.

"No, you did very well."

"Welt Yang?" Otto chuckled. "As expected, as a partner, he wouldn't go offline so quickly. That would be too boring."

Kallen shot him a glare. She even suspected that it was precisely because of Otto's trolling nature that Welt Joyce left Destiny to establish his own faction and build Anti-Entropy.

"The Collapse Consciousness, which is God, was actually shattered by Hua? The combat power is broken!" Kitty turned to look at Yaqing.

"It's not that easy." Mobius answered for Yaqing before he could. "This is probably only a part of the Collapse Consciousness in Sirin's consciousness space. Otherwise, if Fu Hua could kill a god alone, how would the rest of the story unfold?"

"Is Hua going to go offline?" Kitty worried.

"Probably not, she's a warrior who survived from the previous civilization," Kevin said uncertainly.

"Get out of here quickly, the power you're using has reached its limit."

Welt Yang made his reappearance. It turned out he hadn't completely died on the moon. His and Einstein's plan was underway, his consciousness suppressed by the Collapse Consciousness until Fu Hua severed the connection between them and the mental consciousness.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Fu Hua, awakened from the illusion, was already severely wounded. Feather of the Wind's memories burned, causing her to forget the name of the person before her, yet she still felt that this person was very important to her.

"You must live on..."

That was the last thing Fu Hua said before losing consciousness.

"No, Master." Cheng Lixue caught Fu Hua, holding her in his arms. Fu Hua's words had broken through his inner demons.

"This time, it's my turn to protect you."

Cheng Lixue picked up Fu Hua. At this moment, Fu Hua appeared so fragile. He briefly inquired about Otto's physical condition, handed Fu Hua over, and let Otto take Fu Hua away.
