Beng San, I have an unfinished date with her

"Yes, the power is enough for you to protect Ling." Long said, nodding to Aponya.

Aponya received the signal, nodded slightly, and clasped his hands in front of the gemstone and white bead cross on his chest.

Soon, a little bit of holy white light lit up there.

At Aponya's feet, white threads that did not exist in this time and space quickly extended to the feet of the more than ten detainees, and gradually climbed up the body, along the blood vessels inch by inch, all over the body, leaving Leave the tiniest mark, bind their spirit, and connect their essence.

Frame their souls.

However, these white silk threads can only be seen by Aponya, Long, and the dozen core members of the church behind those people.

Sakura didn't know what happened. She only saw Takashi wave his hand, and a large amount of purple energy like smoke surged from the feet of the more than ten detainees.

It enveloped them in an instant.

Visible to the naked eye, their bodies are stained with eroded stripes and grayish colors.

Soon, their bodies disintegrated.

Sakura was very surprised. Such a similar situation... She had seen it before. The stripes and the grayish-white inorganic color were obviously similar to those of people suffering from Honkai Disease.

It's just that the bodies of Honkai Impact Disease patients don't turn gray so quickly or so severely... In most cases, they can still leave a whole body before they die from organ failure caused by erosion.

But after disintegrating, it did not disappear. It seemed that the Honkai energy was gathering and reuniting towards the human form.

"Are you surprised? Do you think it's different from the Houkai disease patients you've seen?" Long's voice came.

Sakura looked at him, and there was no emotion on his face, and there was no longer the faint smile that he had maintained before in the church.

"..." Sakura hesitated and said, "Yes, it looks much more serious than a Honkai Impact patient."

Long nodded: "This is caused by Honkai energy. The so-called Honkai disease is just being infected with Honkai energy which is not that large a dose."

"Honkai..." Sakura paused: "What is that?"

"... something that is difficult for ordinary humans to bear." After finishing speaking, Long put his hands behind his back and looked at Sakura and said: "So it needs to be made bearable for humans."

After saying that, his eyes shifted to the front, and Sakura naturally looked over.

I saw a humanoid figure building up in those places where Honkai could be reunited.

The build was very slow before, probably due to the details inside the build, but now it is very fast.

These dozen people did not use Mebius's method. Although they were replaced by a huge amount of Honkai energy, they were all successfully transformed thanks to Aponya's use of that power.

They looked no different from ordinary humans, and Ying Ying's senses could only detect that they had the same strange energy fluctuations as the core of the church behind them.

From the perspective of ordinary people, there is really no difference between them.

"Sakura, you're wondering, aren't you? - wondering why you're doing this?"

Long smiled again and turned to look at her.

Sakura bit her back molars lightly. These things were a bit beyond her imagination within the scope of her knowledge.

So she could only nod and say: "I don't understand..."

Long nodded: "Yes, you don't understand. Most people in the world don't understand now. There are some people, such as them before..." Long said, raising his finger and pointing to the dozen or so people who were transformed. The staff for the New Humanity continued: "They all understand the fact that one day Honkai will spread across the entire earth."

"That's why I said I was going to give you power."

"...Why me?" Sakura lowered her head slightly to express doubt.

This time Long was silent for several seconds, and the expression on his face changed subtly a few times. After sighing, he said: "Although fate has been completely broken, the wheel of history has inertia."

"..." Sakura was a little confused when she heard what he said.

"Stop talking about that...one day, Sakura, you and Suzu will need shelter and strength."

"First of all, I will let you see that this world has already experienced a crisis beyond Honkai Energy, but Honkai Energy is nothing to humans."

"Huh? A crisis above Honkai energy?"

Long nodded: "Aponya, tell her."

"Yes."

"Miss Sakura, please hold my hand." Aponya smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to Sakura, and said in a very soft voice.

Sakura had no choice.

She could only hold it up and hold Aponya's palm with a little bit of light.

The moment you hold it.

Sakura found that her vision was extremely narrowed.

It seemed that it had shrunk to the extreme, and then been extremely distorted in an instant. Suddenly... Sakura felt that her vision had completely lost its function.

She felt as if her mind was connected to a huge space.

There are countless shining points there.

This feeling is hard to describe.

Sakura was certain that her vision was definitely not working, but she could actually "see" everything that appeared "in front of her eyes".

It seemed to be a pitch-black ball exactly like the ground beneath her feet, the earth.

The pitch-black sphere was surrounded by billions of points of light.

However, that's not the point.

The brilliance of those billions of light points is far less than that of the bright points on the pitch-black sphere.

There are probably more than a thousand golden light spots located in various places on the dark sphere, and they seem to be moving, but the dark sphere is so huge that their movement is not obvious.

But there are some obvious ones.

And they do not exist alone. Each golden light point is connected to all the light points on the nearby layer by a golden thread that rotates beautifully like a DNA spiral.

Wrapped in this extremely huge pitch black ball.

It has formed a net that has roughly covered it, but now it is still relatively clean compared to this ball...

Seeing this, an idea flashed in Sakura's mind.

She guessed... this round ball represents the purpose of the earth, and those golden light spots are those people who feel a little strange - the new humans that Long said.

[Miss Sakura, please prepare, you will see the memories related to it soon. 】

【good...】

Aponya's voice sounded in Sakura's mind.

Soon, Sakura saw her field of vision rapidly stretching towards a point in the sea of ​​light points surrounding the sphere.

And rushed towards the group of dozens of light spots.

Brand new branches: 354. What Sakura saw: The battle with the Herrscher

In an instant, countless images came to me like a video being paused.

Too much, really too much.

So much so that Sakura couldn't tell what was in those pictures.

Because there are too many and they move too fast, in this case, everything will become invisible to human eyes and thinking ability.

Like a wheel spinning at high speed, a helicopter rotor.

Finally, the screen stopped.

Aponya's voice came again: [Miss Sakura... Soon, you will see what the crisis above Honkai Energy is for humans. 】

[It is a creature that has acquired some kind of "rules" that surpass humans...existence. 】

[Their name is——The Lawyer. 】

[The first is the First Lawyer, the Lawyer of Reason. 】

When Sakura was thinking about the nouns she had learned, she found that her vision had stabilized.

At this moment, my field of vision has reached the sky, and what I can see is a plain with low undulations.

【Um? 】

She noticed that there was a battle taking place between the sky and the earth...

No. Is this really a fight?

I saw more than a dozen heavily armed combatants using all their firepower to attack the "people" suspended in the sky.

But all the attacks were blocked by the invisible waves in front of the "person"...

[This is...The Herrscher? 】

Soon, the combatants stopped their attack.

Because they found that it had no effect, behind the smoke dispersed by the explosion was the body of the Herrscher, safe and sound.

There was no emotion in his eyes, they just shone like molten gold.

After that, I saw him stretching out his arm.

His ability was displayed, and he completely reproduced the weapons that those who had just attacked him, and launched a "battle" of complete massacre underground.

Soon they were forced to hide behind rocks.

The armored vehicles that came to support also suffered a fate. Their attacks were replicated and destroyed themselves...

[…Terrible, incomprehensible power. ], Sakura sighed.

Before she could finish sighing, something even more shocking happened to her.

I saw red dots lighting up in the sky...one, two, three...

High in the sky, it fell rapidly, like a red sword.

Finally there was a horrific explosion....

[...], Sakura was silent.

What kind of monster is this?

What makes Sakura even more frightened is that the monster did not die when the first missile penetrated the ground. It even wanted to reproduce the missile just like those people and armored weapons before... ..

And it was almost half successful before it was terminated by an explosion. The missiles that dropped continuously after that completely cut off its vitality.

If this kind of monster appears in the city... it will create several, dozens of highly destructive missiles... and launch them towards human cities...

It was impossible to stop it. Sakura had some knowledge of the current development of human military equipment.

Before this terrifying creation whose terminal warhead speed can reach dozens of Mach, mankind's existing air defense weapons are absolutely unable to intercept it - unless it is launched and put into orbit according to human procedures, so that humans can still carry out counterattacks during the launch and mid-stage. system.

But if this monster is made to fall high in the city, or is made and detonated directly in the city, it will be an absolute crisis! !

Sakura understood what they meant by "crisis".

However, just when Sakura was still contemplating the unique ability of the Herrscher of Reason.

What I saw in my field of vision changed again.

Something that frightened Sakura even more appeared before her eyes.

That was a more elite team than the previous team combatants.

The team is mostly female.

Their equipment is more sophisticated, with extra power and armor.

The weapons appear to have a more "sci-fi feel" than the military weapons Sakura knows.

and...

In this area full of Honkai energy, their actions did not have much impact, which is completely different from the Honkai disease patients infected with Honkai energy...

But even so, they feel very uncomfortable.

There were many casualties among these elite soldiers.

Mainly because the Herrscher they faced this time was much stronger than the one who was beaten in the air without moving...

Sakura couldn't understand it at all, no...she felt a little familiar.

It seems like... space?
