The Paladin on the Infinite Tour.

"Boom!"

The chaotic meteor crashed onto the head of the Ice Dragon!

It's like a star falling from the sky!

"boom------------!"

The roar that shook the entire sky was accompanied by the shining burst of black and white light!

87. Not...The Herrscher of Wind?

(Looks like he won.)

Standing on the edge of the landing port of the special plane, overlooking the black and white light blooming below, Fu Hua could roughly guess the ending.

This result did not particularly surprise her.

Fu Hua has competed with Bianca many times over the years. Even from her current point of view, even if Bianca's strength is not as good as those of the Thirteen Heroes who are good at fighting, it is not much inferior. , it may be a bit difficult to face the Herrscher, but it will definitely be no problem to ensure that they are evenly matched.

For Bianca like this, facing a mere Judgment-level Honkai Beast, victory was just a matter of time - but Fu Hua didn't expect that she would take a quick attack and use maximum firepower to solve the battle from the very beginning. This would be exhausting for her. It shouldn't be small.

(In this case...)

[Dududu~~~Senior Fu Hua, this is Youlandel, can you hear me? 】

Bianca's voice suddenly sounded on the communication channel.

Fu Hua immediately answered the call: "Yes, I can hear you. How is the situation over there? Has it been resolved smoothly?"

[About this...I'm not sure]

"Huh? What do you mean."

[If I remember correctly, based on the judgment of the situation in Benares and the Bishop's research on previous civilizations, every judgment-level Honkai beast seems to have multiple energy cores. If you want to completely defeat it, you must Just destroy the entire core. 】

(That’s true...)

[But I didn’t break the energy core just now, and the ice dragon disappeared... This gave me an indescribable strange feeling]

"..."

Bianca's words made Fu Hua fall into deep thought.

(Sue, what do you think?)

Later, Fu Hua asked his friend.

Su, who had been keeping in contact with the two of them, also said: [Since Miss Bianca thinks so, I will take this matter seriously and pay special attention to it.However, according to the observation of Qianjie Yicheng, the judgment-level Honkai beast has indeed disappeared... I have no way of knowing the specific situation]

[But all in all, you two should move on now. If the companion Honkaimon is defeated, only the Fourth Herrscher will be left.During the period just now, the location of the Herrscher's reaction has been observed, and the specific location has been synchronized to the personal terminals of all Valkyries. 】

"I understand - Bianca, I will take the aircraft to the designated location for landing. Are you going by yourself?"

[Yes, let's meet there. 】

"it is good!"

----------------

After ending the communication with Fu Hua, Bianca, who had landed on a building in Manila, glanced at the position of the Fourth Herrscher that had just been synchronized in her hand.

It's in Rizal Park.

The location where Bianca landed now is near the coastline of Manila. The straight-line distance is not too far. Even from here, Bianca can see the scene of Rizal Park, although it is small.

(Get ready to meet up with Senior Fu Hua...just——)

Activating the propulsion wings again, Bianca flew into the sky and couldn't help but think of the situation just now.

She was the one who directly fought against the Judgment-level Honkai Beast, so her feelings were the most profound - she finally used the Black Abyss White Flower to crush the Judgment-level Honkai Beast's head, just like she had crushed it in the past. Like countless Honkai beasts, she could be sure that she had indeed killed that Honkai beast.

But was the one she killed really a Honkai Beast?

Bianca couldn't help but think so.

Because Su said from the beginning that it was a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, Bianca didn't think much about it, and the observation results of Thousand Worlds One Vehicle should not be wrong.But when she smashed the Judgment-level Honkaimon, Bianca didn't feel like she had destroyed the Honkaimon. Instead, she felt like... she just broke an ice sculpture?

This is strange.

That huge dragon-shaped Honkaimon doesn't seem to be Honkaimon, it's just a giant ice sculpture that somehow has its own will and can move freely.

But how is this possible?

If such a big Honkaimon is an ice sculpture, who made it?Lawyer?The problem is that the Fourth Herrscher is the Herrscher of Wind. His ability is to create ideal fluids, and he has no possibility of controlling ice at all. It is not necessarily true that as Su said, the dragon-shaped Honkaimon has something to do with Exia. What's the relationship?

After all, when it comes to people who can create frost creations of that level at will, Ixia may be the only one in the entire world.

Although Bianca has never seen Exia make such a big ice sculpture, at most she has watched him make some ice sculpture dolls and the like——

"Speaking of which... why is there so much ice and snow here?"

Suddenly, Bianca noticed something was wrong.

On the streets of Manila, thick snow and thorn-like ice thorns are piled up everywhere, occupying almost every corner of the street. Even the surfaces of the surrounding buildings are covered with ivy-like ice crystals, and there are constant ice crystals in the sky. The floating white snow.

Manila is a coastal city with a tropical monsoon climate. The year-round temperature is around 28°C. Even if it is the rainy season, the temperature is very hot - how can it snow in such a city?

Bianca couldn't help but stop her flying movements.

Why had she ignored this problem before?

Such abnormal climate changes are definitely not normal!

"...Senior Fu Hua?"

After a pause, Bianca initiated a communication request to Fu Hua - she did not doubt the accuracy of the information given by Su, but the current situation was undoubtedly inconsistent with the situation of the Herrscher of Wind, and had to be sorted out again. Just some information.

【...】

However, after waiting for a few seconds, Bianca did not wait for Fu Hua's response.

(The communication cannot be connected? How could...Mr. Su?)

【...】

Again no response.

The contact information has been interfered with! ?

The moment she realized this problem, Bianca immediately raised her vigilance to the maximum and paid extremely serious attention to her surroundings. The sensing function of Radiant Knight and Moon Spirit was also fully opened by her!

(Something's wrong...this city...)

Did he really defeat that Judgment-level Honkai Beast just now?

Bianca couldn't help but start thinking about this issue again.

And at this moment, without warning, Bianca noticed that the scene in front of her was gradually blurring, as if another layer of extremely thick fog had drifted over from nowhere, hiding everything in the fog. Among them, Bianca's visible range was greatly weakened.

(Fog? Why is there fog at this time?)

Another anomaly.

Bianca subconsciously clenched the black abyss white flower.

The Fourth Collapse——What happened?

88. Three dragons under one sky

"It's such a thick fog..."

on the plane.

Just when Bianca was deep in the thick fog, Fu Hua also noticed something strange below.

It was as if something that had been blocked at the beginning had broken through the seal. In Fu Hua's eyes, the entire city of Manila was being enveloped by a steady stream of fog coming out from somewhere. The billowing fog was like a thick layer of fog. The gauze wrapped the entire city and submerged it.

[No, that’s not right, Hua]

Su's voice sounded in Fu Hua's heart.

[It’s not that thick fog surrounds the city. According to Qianjie Yiyi’s observations...it seems that the city itself is constantly transforming into fog! 】

"what?"

The information Su told made Fu Hua frown.

The city of Manila itself is transforming into fog?How is this possible?If the city itself turns into fog, doesn't it mean that the city is constantly collapsing?And the scope of this influence will spread to the entire Metro Manila in at most one hour!

What is going on here?

"...The Herrscher of Wind shouldn't have similar abilities, right? Su." Fu Hua asked in a deep voice, "Creating an ideal fluid - the Herrcher of Wind in our era, I remember her most commonly used The form of its ability is to create storms... it shouldn’t be possible to have the power to turn a city into thick fog.”

"Are we really facing the Herrscher of Wind?"

[...Hua, you should know about Prometheus NO.17]

"Well, remember."

Prometheus NO.17.

It was an artificial intelligence created by pre-civilization.At that time, because the destruction of civilization had become a foregone conclusion, even if the Herrscher of the End was defeated in the end, it would be impossible to maintain the existence of civilized society. Therefore, shortly after the battle with Herrscher No. 12, Dr. Mei made a decision to destroy the fire. Plans to keep it until the next era of civilization.

Their era has failed, but if they go to the next era, they can use the preserved power to challenge Honkai again - with the existence of the forerunners, as long as the Herrscher of the End does not come, then everything will not be a problem. .

But there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to, and that is [the uncontrollability of collapse].

According to the theory put forward by Dr. Mei, Honkai will make changes, just like the Herrscher of Binding was born in response to the Fire Chaser's increasingly powerful fusion warrior unit and God Key.Honkai may send down different Herrschers according to the situation at that time, in order to make the accumulated information of the previous civilization useless.

Therefore, Prometheus NO.17 was given a task - to influence the birth of the Herrscher through some method, so that the Herrscher abilities in the new era would be consistent with those in the pre-civilization period.

Therefore, Su and Kevin can confirm that the Herrscher born in the fourth collapse is the Herrscher of Wind.

But the current situation...

[The operation of NO.17 should still be normal. ] Su said, [Even if there is a problem, it should be our problem... Did we make a mistake in judgment?Or maybe the Fourth Herrscher has been quietly born in a place we don't know about? 】

"Now is not the time to think about such things, Sue."

Fu Hua shook his head.

"It's too dangerous for Bianca to go deep into the fog alone. I'll go meet her - can you contact her? Sue."

【.......strangeness? 】

After a moment of silence, Su's voice was filled with confusion.

[The spiritual link between Miss Bianca and I... was forcibly severed... no, was it interfered with?I can't contact Miss Bianca right now]

"—!"

Something was wrong.

First it was the Judgment-level Honkaimon that had a similar energy reaction to Exia, then what Bianca said, then the sudden mist, and now Bianca lost contact...

Just weird!

"Su...you continue to use the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle for observation. If possible, try to contact Rita and Sakura. I will rush directly into the fog next, and I may also be cut off from communicating with you. If If you have any information, share it with Rita and the others first - if Exia comes, tell him immediately."

[I understand—be careful]

Fu Hua nodded slightly, and then jumped out of the plane!

The howling wind rushed towards her in an instant!

This is not the first time Fu Hua has done such a high-altitude landing. With the burst module carried by Shadow Knight Moon Wheel, he only needs to rush into the fog to find a suitable foothold to land stably.

however--

【aaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr——————————! ! ! 】

Just when Fu Hua was ready to rush into the fog, a familiar roar suddenly sounded from the clouds!

Fu Hua quickly looked to one side!I saw in the sea of ​​clouds not far away from her——

【aaaaarrrrrrr——————! ! ! 】

A familiar ice dragon suddenly broke through the sea of ​​clouds!Like a runaway train, it rushed towards her direction!

(Is it the Judgment-level Honkaimon just now!?)

Fu Hua suddenly looked surprised.

It's still there! ?Didn't Bianca knock it down just now? ?Even if, as Bianca said, this Judgment-level Honkaimon is weird and may not really be dead, but it took Bianca's full blow head-on and was unscathed? !
