Honkai, Survive

So, Fang Jie was still stagnant, and he tossed it to the him who was not a real existence but a virtual projection.

He himself was probably in a place similar to Imaginary Space, projecting such a "coordinate" without returning.

Rin understood it at a glance.

Toss it to him, see if it can erode externally.

Hehehe, God Keys aren't good things, I'd like to see how bizarre you can get.

You must know that God Keys were not designed for creatures like humans from the very beginning. Not to mention anything else, the vast amount of information contained in the infinite replication viruses of Jizo Mitama could instantly scramble a person's brain.

If he could pull it out...

Then it would be given to him.

The clever Rin had already discovered that she was completely different, surpassing her past self.

She wouldn't admit it verbally, but she was happy in her heart, so everything looked pleasing to her eyes.

There was also a factor that must be considered: Rin, being so smart, could easily think that it wasn't just her; what if this kid also underwent a transformation upon waking up? He was already bizarre.

So, she decided to try. At the very least, she would compensate him with the blade she had eaten, to shut him up.

It's not that this kid seemed to have helped her... With him inviting her to save the world, Rin could mock him for a lifetime.

Did she really think she was stupid? You bizarre thing, you devoured the bodies of dignified Honkai Beasts without batting an eye, and you still want to save the world...

She only wanted freedom now.

A smile spread across Rin's small but healthy face, pure and excited.

"Whoosh, so much snow! I like this place!"

Rin freely spread her power, to feel the snow, to... search for usable information. What kind of place is this? Give me some signal.

Information viruses flowed across the ice-bound planet, hacking into every information network.

Soon, beneath the seemingly desolate heavy snow, within the long-dormant giant creation, Rin found what she wanted, an... information network that took her a while to hack into, and she couldn't quite describe it.

"Let me see."

Damn it, what kind of talk is this? I have to learn again... Okay, I've learned it.

Actually, there was another network, but Rin didn't access it, even though it was a bit simpler.

How should I put it? It's probably because the power she used seemed the same as theirs, but she had previously attacked that suddenly appearing thing...

It should be an enemy.

The information revealed by those things wasn't good either. Rin understood that very well, so she avoided them from afar.

The big guy that suddenly appeared before gave her a kind of touch:

"Across the universe, all that is seen are enemies. Endless enemies are born from you, me, and him. Endless. Every life needs the death of others to live."

"Since you all desire to end your lives so much, please allow me to fulfill your wish with my own hands."

"Granting Destruction."

Rin didn't want to understand, she refused to be touched.

Even though that kind of philosophy wasn't worldly evil, madness, death worship, or living for death, it gave her a feeling of being both firm and bizarre.

And she could also hear the voices of those things whose powers felt similar to hers. She could hear them just by casually coming into contact with them—

"He who holds this seal is commanded to banish peace from all nations."

"He who holds this seal is commanded to remove breath from all living beings."

"He who holds this seal is commanded to purify the world."

You all leave, just leave.

Rin no longer wanted to live a life of fighting and killing.

The birth and death of life are all painful. To live, to continue, one must plunder from other life forms. But the pleasure gained from plundering resources is not equal to the pain experienced after being plundered. Pain is the entirety of a life, and the sole language of civilization is conflict...

Gua, I don't want to hear this!

Give me something peaceful.

Rin was excited. She found it, she found it! She listened intently:

"...Regardless of whether your world has the concept of day and night, let me first wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. This is the faction broadcast station of the Interstellar Peace Corporation. Today, we bring you news related to various factions. It's inaccurate, not serious, and not responsible. Please allow us to tell you about a tragic day in the universe with a joking attitude!

Thanks to the never-ending Path deviants, giant beasts, and natural disasters, over eighty civilizations were destroyed yesterday, and thirteen interstellar empires were annihilated. It's just a normal day since this Amber Era!

The saviors claim to have personally rescued eight civilizations from hell. Let us wish them their own salvation soon!

Eighteen civilizations were investigated by the Academy and found to have been annihilated by extinctionists using eighteen different methods. My goodness, won't their imagination ever run dry? They come up with new tricks every day!

The Legion occupied ten interstellar empires and five planets within them. Trillions of people were turned into Voidrangers in the furnaces. I think it won't be long before these Voidrangers are at your doorstep next time!

What? The Tarak Federation's civilians voluntarily became Voidrangers because they were too brutal?

Then...

May the Tarak Federation rot!

The nine civilizations the Legion marched through were silenced in advance by the pre-war Caretakers. The Gravekeeper had six civilizations burn all their history, completing their spiritual self-destruction. I think at least a few Memokeeper's from the Garden of Recollection will be looking for trouble with them!

The Arsonist forced the civilizations in the Akron Star System to unify by extinguishing its stars. By the time the joint fleet of the six former victim civilizations arrived, the perpetrators were nowhere to be found.

Yesterday, the Scarred Tomb detonated the stars of the Talin Star System. The supernova explosion led to the destruction of five civilizations. They've left their mark on the universe that will last for billions of years. I heard his next target is to blow up an entire nebula!

The Galandr Star Region was attacked by a swarm. The Company had just invested a large sum, so they will definitely need to urgently rescue these assets. Hopefully, the six civilizations within can hold on until the Company's rescue arrives.

Countless civilizations, not even connected to the interstellar network, were blocking the migration path of the Star-Devouring Beast. They either ended up in its belly or became space debris, impossible to find. And then there were the novae. Of course, they were all blown to pieces by the Galactic Core Guard and the Calamity Containment Agency. Several were immediately "archaeologized" on the spot by the Armed Archaeology Faction!

Three inhabited planets in the Atmodius Star System became food for a passing group of Abundance followers, and were then blown up by the approaching Xianzhou Yaoqing. Another great victory today!

The Silent Hunter exposed the Kvolaga Empire's bloody suppression, and the Interstellar Peace Conference announced an investigation.

The Ecosystem Administrator has taken in hundreds of millions more refugees. Hopefully, their ecosystem can still handle it.

The Unsinkable Colossus eliminated a vanguard of the Legion, defending the Samlin Star System.

The City Restorer and the Planet Purifier announced they will carry out restoration work on 43 planets. After the work is completed, the displaced original inhabitants will once again have their homes, and Memokeeper's from the Fables of the Stars Pavilion will salvage the 'memo-essence' from the dead worlds.

The City Builder completed construction for 4 more civilizations.

The Spinning Savior ventured deep into the war zone between the Remus and Romulus Civilizations to rescue innocent indigenous populations caught in the crossfire. They used some non-lethal force to urge both sides to cease hostilities, engaged in friendly exchanges with both civilizations, and spoke with great emotion about their past history and culture, hoping they would coexist harmoniously again. They agreed to meet again in the next Expansion Year.

Alright, friends, another day with no news from the Sea Rangers. My buddies at the Company haven't seen any bounty changes for any Ranger in a long time. I guess they've truly vanished without a trace.

Rangers! My Rangers! If you were still here, the Tarak Federation Council would have been slaughtered long ago, and people wouldn't have been forced to surrender to the Legion! The Kvolaga Empire's suppression wouldn't have happened! Come back! Our Galactic Swords of Justice! Our Spear of Justice, the greatest righteous faction in the galaxy... sob sob sob.

Sigh, friends, I hope when we meet again, I'm not found on the branch of a primitive planet. I don't want to turn into a monkey~

Hahaha, just kidding everyone, I'm already a sleepy banana monkey, spreading memetic viruses to you all through broadcast – this is not a joke.

Banana banana banana banana banana banana banana banana..."

"Snap!"

Rin forcefully, very forcefully, extremely forcefully, cut off the broadcast, along with the subsequent massive network anti-virus measures. Her mind was a mess as she confirmed the relevant terms and concepts from the previously infiltrated information.

Planets, star systems, galaxies, factions, memetic viruses...

She powerfully acquired galactic common sense, efficiently, so efficiently.

By the time Rin understood it all, it was already too late.

Because her reading speed was too fast, Rin silently hugged her head. A spontaneous thought of destruction arose within her. She stared blankly at the snow, her eyes vacant, unable to even utter a curse for a long time.

"It's fake, it must be fake."

Trying to deny reality, Rin paused, then hacked into another network intrusion, directly connecting her consciousness to the information.

Then, under the powerful anti-virus software, after losing most of her enhanced viruses, she confirmed that everything was indeed unreal.

It was all fake news, too little and too euphemistic, with a conservative tendency to downplay relevant events, or perhaps the harbinger of bad omens feared being "realized offline."

This real galaxy...

Rin crashed.jpg

Sometimes, the more you know, the unhappier you become.

If no one disturbed her, she could have become reclusive enough to crawl back into the black box... oh, she had already destroyed it and forged it into a scabbard.

Rin is depressed.jpg

Finally, Fang Jie returned, having not actually spent much time in real space.

He gazed at the sky, the overcast, dim sky, piercing through the obstacles, and saw the myriad stars flowing endlessly.

Should he recite a poem?

"Ah, the galaxy..."

He heard a high-pitched, resentful shout from behind him:

"What did you do? Where did you bring me? What is this crap place, this crap place..."

He looked down. Who was this listless figure covered in "I'm tired, let it all be destroyed"? It was completely ruining my artistic aesthetic of transforming into a pure beauty knight with my melancholic feelings.

If it weren't for the void, someone like me would have already been a pure beauty knight.

Upon closer inspection, it was Flying Fish Pill?

No, she didn't have that name. Let's just call her Rin, Ah-Rin.

Black mist emitted light, converging into the physical form of a small, three-headed fox-eared girl. She was rolling around in the snow, the snow vaporizing and steaming wherever she went...

Small body, yet full of power!

Ah-Rin cried and wailed, glancing at him as if distracted:

"You... black... sun? ... It's really sinister! I'm not looking anymore!"

Ah-Rin collapsed, her ears drooping. She sprawled out on the snow, rolling around.

"Hey, what are you talking about? What's with the fuss, you noisy little floating thing? Believe it or not, I'll send you to Honkai Gakuen 2."

Completely unafraid of the terrifying erosion, Fang Jie treated her as just a cute creature. This was the local characteristic of being indifferent to life and death.

Deciding to ignore her and let her cry and fuss, Fang Jie glanced at Yae Sakura, who was still sleeping like an outsider. Why was there a sword next to her?

"It's mine now!"

Fearlessly, he casually picked it up, feeling a jolt... a tingling sensation like electricity coursing through him. It was instantly refined, and his control over his internal power increased significantly.

Compared to the Composite Blade: Willow Leaf, which activated 'Slicing' by injecting Honkai energy, this blade was far superior. It was definitely more than a three-star.

Without delving deeper, he hadn't even examined the changes in himself. Fang Jie clenched his fist, watching the flames burn on it.

"Now, I'm a qualified galactic grunt."

But, Chapter 18: Don't Call It Self-Destruction, Call It Reserve Hidden Energy

If you don't get stronger, you'll die. The Galactic Grunt Path, proudly serialized!

It was like unlocking the deep blue. Fang Jie tapped lightly, and instinctively, he felt the power and realm he could achieve through 'pure effort' emerge.

No, that analogy still felt too much like relying on one's own hard work. Let's find a more vivid way to put it.

It was like being enlightened by a powerful being, with power and realms skyrocketing instantly.

When fellow Path-wielders of the "Path of Destruction" reached their final realm, a single drop of blood could create a strong individual with 800,000 horsepower. Not to mention the realms above that.

[Body Reinforcement], [Molecular Manipulation], [Devour All], [Material Hardening], [Mind Reading], [Flight], [Psychic Sense], [Cellular Reorganization], [Anti-Gravity], [Matter Reorganization], [Atomic Splitting], [Ultimate Realm], [Self-Destruction Realm], [Antimatter Realm]...

Absolutely possible, easily possible!

The Path of [Destruction] not only bestowed dominion and application over macro and micro entropic phenomena but also resonated on a philosophical level.

The power of the Path turned, granting you the strength to plunder everything through instinct, fueling your ambition to alter the world, and shaping your will to trample all phenomena.

A glance from a Star God elevated an existence from its [Destiny].

With this golden fillet on, you will no longer be a mortal, no longer insignificant dust in the galaxy. Everyone will look up to you.
