For Fang Zheng, the more he understood Honkai Impact 3, the more he felt that the views on Honkai Impact 3 in the previous era and this era were problematic.

Whether it is the last world with advanced technology, the present Middle Ages, or the modern world where Theresa and the others live, the attitude towards Honkai is always "Confrontation! Confrontation! Confrontation!"

Only by completely eliminating Honkai can humanity be saved.

This seems to have become the consensus of the two eras, but... consensus is not necessarily correct.

Every Chinese knows the story of Dayu controlling floods. In ancient times, when there was a flood, Yao ordered Gun to control the flood. However, Gun only knew how to cover the water with earth and build dams. As a result, the flood destroyed the dams, causing even greater damage. Later, Dayu took over the task of controlling the floods. He found that blocking was not as good as dredging, so he opened canals to drain water and dredged the river to divert the flood to the sea, thus controlling the floods.

To Fang Zheng, whether it is the Fire Moth of the previous era or the Destiny of the current era, they are actually the same as Gun, who just wants to completely eliminate Honkai and solve the problem once and for all.

However...is it possible?

Light and shadow always coexist, just like you can't stop a beautiful girl from going to the toilet - oh, well, beautiful girl robots don't need to go to the toilet. Humans produce waste. Industrialization produces waste gas. Similarly, collapse develops along with the development of human civilization. This is a problem that should be viewed objectively.

Just like earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and plagues, they are all disasters. Humans cannot ignore these disasters, so what should we do? Either resist, escape, or find a way to change them.

Escapism has no future. Noah built a ship because of God's blessing. If God didn't bless him, a wave would come and destroy him completely.

What about resistance?

Why did the previous generation of civilization perish? It was because they killed the host of the 12th Herrscher in order to fight against the collapse, awakened the Herrscher of Corrosion to invade the nuclear missile launch system and destroy the last city.

During this era, the awakening of the Second Herrscher of Siberia was also the result of inhumane human experiments conducted on children by Destiny in order to combat the Honkai.

From this we can see that the confrontational policy is like Gun’s flood control policy. Only blocking without dredging may be able to resist for a while, but the disaster caused when the dam breaks in the end will be greater.

Therefore, in Fang Zheng's opinion, in order to deal with the collapse, we must first face it correctly and regard it as a problem that humans cannot avoid facing and dealing with - just like crime, no matter how advanced human civilization is, no matter how much technology develops. Criminal behavior cannot be completely eliminated. But we can't say that we won't fight crime because of this and let them go. Or use some means to turn everyone into wooden people so that they don't commit crimes... That's no different from destroying humanity.

Even in the Fangzheng Tiandao Palace, there were more than one or two little girls who were locked up in a small dark room by Tilia for violating the rules by fighting. Where in the world is there really a peaceful paradise?

Oh, maybe a cemetery is one - after all, all are equal in the face of death.

But if you think about it carefully, there are a lot of bad things in hell... Well, there is really no peaceful paradise in this world.

Fang Zheng collected his thoughts and silently took a step back, avoiding the golden light in front of him.

For some unknown reason, Otto attacked the two men. Fang Zheng didn't care about this. He just wanted to fight. It's not like he had never fought Otto before, although he used some tricks the first time. But the situation is ever-changing, so any method that can kill the opponent is a good method.

Besides, Otto is just an ordinary human being now, so Fang Zheng is not worried that he will create hundreds of bodies for himself and wait for resurrection - oh, but he doesn't seem to be an ordinary human being now.

Looking at Otto who was fighting with Kallen, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. This guy had a golden square box in his hand, which looked similar to the black one in Kallen's hand, except for the color.

But this thing is much more powerful than the black box. At least so far, it can be transformed into various weapons for Otto to use. At the beginning, Otto fought the two with a gun, and then Kallen approached him to take him down, but the thing turned into a knight's lance. Not only that, it can also turn into a long sword - in short, the weirdness of this weapon caught Kallen off guard.

She probably never thought that her childhood sweetheart actually had such fighting ability. After all, in Karen's impression, Otto was always a weak person who was not good at fighting. Even when he followed her to join the war, he was only a military doctor...

"Should I do it?"

Seeing Kallen having to distance herself from Otto again under his attack, Fang Zheng kindly asked her a question. He understood why Kallen was planning to go forward to fight, because she felt that Otto was being controlled by the golden box - just like how Yaezakura was controlled by the devil in the black box.

However, Fang Zheng certainly knew that all this was Otto's own decision, but as he said, this was a matter between Karin and Otto, and he had no interest in intervening, so Fang Zheng just stood by and watched.

Otherwise, with Otto's crappy moves, Fang Zheng would have chopped off his head with one sword. Not to mention strength, just talking about swordsmanship, Fang Zheng, who has traveled through countless worlds, is also at the mythical level. How can Otto, a little brat, compare to him?

"No……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Karen hesitated and shook her head.

"I will definitely make him wake up!"

After saying this, Kallen picked up the Oath of Judah and rushed towards Otto again.

Facing Karen's back, Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly. He knew that Karen had actually noticed Otto's current situation, but she just didn't want to admit it... Never mind, now it depends on when Karen is willing to see the reality clearly and know that her childhood sweetheart and he will never walk the same path.

Watching Fang Zheng and Karen's "intimate" chat, Otto's face became more and more gloomy. He was also a man, and a man who loved Karen deeply. Karen herself might not have noticed, but Otto did. When she was talking to that man, her eyes revealed unreserved trust and closeness...

Why? We have known each other for so long, how can I not be as good as him?

Of course Otto didn't know that, although according to real time, Fang Zheng and Kallen had known each other for less than a day, in fact, in the dream cycle of the Herrscher of Erosion, they had been together for a long time - of course, Otto didn't know.

But now, when Otto saw this scene, he was filled with anger.

Why is this so?

Obviously, I was the first one! Whether it was her childhood sweetheart, becoming her companion... or falling in love with her...

Of course, Fang Zheng would not understand Otto's thoughts, because he had read Otto's diary. In his world, Kallen fell in love with Sakura, and she publicly admitted it when she was caught by Tianming. But at that time, Otto was still deeply in love with Kallen. Fang Zheng was puzzled and could only blame Otto for being an ultimate bootlicker, or maybe Sakura was already dead at that time, and she was a woman, so he didn't care?

But now it was obvious that Otto couldn't not care.

He could not forget the scene he saw through the iron cage that night, a scene he had never thought of before - Karen's expression at that time was what he had always hoped to see but could not!

So... this time, he will definitely not give up!

"I'm sorry, Kallen."

Looking at Kallen rushing towards him again, Otto sighed softly, then he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

At the same time, the golden box beside Otto started again, and this time, it quickly changed into a golden cross.

"Judas Zero Rated Power, Activate."

As Otto spoke, several golden chains emerged and bound Kallen. At this moment, Kallen had lost her strength and was bound to the spot.

"This... How is it possible? Otto, what on earth are you doing..."

"Kallen, you should understand that this is not the power of Honkai."

Otto stared at Kallen in front of him and spoke.

"It is the same as your 'Oath of Judah'. They are both relics from the last civilization. It is called 'Void Treasures' and is a product that can simulate all the keys of God - of course, your Oath of Judah is also included."

"you……"

"I knew you were going to take a different path than me, but I just didn't expect you to take this path."

Otto raised his head and looked behind Kallen, where Fang Zheng was looking at him leisurely.

"But unfortunately, in this world... you can't realize your wish."

"You...what...does this mean..."

Hearing this, Kallen raised her head and wanted to say something, but in the end she closed her eyes and fell into a coma.

At the same time, the ground began to shake, and Otto looked at Fang Zheng in front of him with a smile on his face.

"What a pity! I failed again this time."

"You don't really think you'll ever win."

Fang Zheng picked up Frostmourne and strode towards Otto, who just shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, but I won't end it like this. I don't know who you are, but... this is the end."

As he spoke, he raised his hand. As he moved, the ground began to tremble, and Fang Zheng stopped and glanced around in confusion.

"Do you feel it?"

Looking at Fang Zheng's puzzled expression, Otto smiled.

"This is just a fragment, an incomplete world. This is just a future that has never happened. It has never existed in history. Kallen Kaslana has never successfully resisted destiny, whether in the past, present, or future. This possibility does not exist in this world. All she can do is face death and become the spiritual banner of destiny, the eternal saint... That's all."

“A future without a future is not the future I want.”

Fang Zheng silently raised the sword.

"So you are ready to die."

"Even if you kill me, it won't change anything."

Otto looked at Fang Zheng with a smile on his face.

"This world is destined to..."

However, Otto did not finish his words, because at this moment, the pitch-black sword flashed by, and then Otto's head flew high, drew an arc in the air, and fell to the ground. His neck was sprayed with blood, and his body took two steps forward subconsciously in a daze, and then fell to the ground.

At the same time, Fang Zheng reached out and grabbed a feather that appeared behind him at some point, and held it tightly.

"You are really tired of living, using illusions in front of the prophecy wizard."

Of course, Otto was not there waiting to die. In fact, when he was talking to Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng realized that this kid seemed to be trying to use some kind of illusion to deceive him - but unfortunately, for the prophecy wizard, any illusion would have no effect, so he just stood there and watched Otto's monkey tricks, and then chopped off his head with a sword.

but……

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng turned his head and looked out the window. There, the sky began to gradually break apart and the earth was shaking.

Just as Otto said, this is just a fragment of time, not a complete world. He doesn't know how he drained the power of this world, causing it to "wither" prematurely.

But...is this also called a matter?

Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and silently looked at Frostmourne in his hand.

Let me show you, nothing is impossible.
