I'm the former civilized Yingjie

"We can't help it. Our public relations operation depends entirely on them to save face." Kalis smiled bitterly, not sure if it was considered a dumb loss.

Fire Chasing Moth's aggressive search resulted in the destruction of an entire fleet and almost the destruction of a large city. Afterwards, everyone was left in a bad mood.

"So we still have to publicize and establish them as models for this battle, but remember to hide their appearance and personal information." The commander's smile also became bitter, and he had noticed that things were getting out of control.

But how can I put it, Ryan's approach is in the interests of mankind, and this cannot be changed by personal will.

The first time they faced off against the Herrscher in public, Fire Chaser failed to demonstrate advancement and leadership. This is absolutely unacceptable, and with so many witnesses, no one can usurp the credit.

"Adjust the plan. Regardless of the future, at least they are still members of the Fire Chaser Moth."

Karius winked and had to stand up, pressing his hands down to silence the cheering subordinates.

"Dr. Ryan and Miss Alicia are the most capable forces of my Fire Chaser Moth. It is their duty and honor to protect mankind. But the battle is not over yet. Quickly detect the location of the Fourth Herrscher and do our best. Your own responsibility.”

"Yes!"

Hundreds of people saluted at the same time, then sat down together and began to get involved in busy work.

The commander-in-chief felt a little uncomfortable as he watched the morale of his subordinates rise. He knew that something called 'prestige' was rapidly expanding. When he looked at the two people on the screen, his eyes were filled with helplessness.

At this point in time, humanity needs heroes.

The core goal of this battle was to allow the 'Sword of Punishment' force, a team of fusion warriors who were absolutely loyal to the Council, to step onto the stage. As a result, the Fourth Herrscher did not show up at all, allowing the two men to take advantage.

But there is a saying that the so-called heroes are not named by anyone, but who humans choose as heroes.

Ryan also felt the huge attention, and even the media who were not afraid of death came in helicopters and surrounded the two of them to take pictures.

"It's the first time I've been stared at by so many people. Am I a little embarrassed?" Alicia blinked and poked Ryan with her elbow, "Should I wave now, or should I cheer? "

"It's okay, it's hard for Honkai to see us clearly, and didn't you say you were sorry?"

"That's why it's small."

Ryan rolled his eyes and stopped paying attention to the pink fairy. He pondered for a moment and showed a relaxed expression.

Unexpectedly, there were unexpected gains.

The Herrist must have run away, but he keenly seized the opportunity and walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

Prestige seems unimportant, but it is something that cannot be obtained through force.

It’s not a loss, just keep it for now, sooner or later there will be a chance to cash out.

Of course, with Ryan's character, he couldn't do anything unnecessary. He just stood quietly on a high place, overlooking the entire city, and felt the eyes of those who survived the disaster.

Fear, joy, adoration, and a little disgust?

Ryan doesn't mind being treated as a monster. After all, humans are complex creatures, and no one can ask them to think alike.

As for Alicia, she didn't care even more. It was as if she couldn't see the looks of fear and disgust. After thinking about it, she raised her hand with a smile and waved it gently.

That beautiful appearance is enough to make her the dream lover of many people. Perhaps many people have taken pictures of her on TV at this moment, printed them out and posted them on their bedside.

"I really envy you for not caring about anything."

"Everyone will be disliked or liked. How about just looking at the people who like you?" Alicia heard the cheers from the distance and smiled even more happily.

It is true that not everyone is cheering, but most people are applauding desperately for their own survival, and are grateful to the two for stopping the terrifying storm and saving their lives.

It's a pure idea, but unfortunately I'm not used to it.

Ryan was extremely doting on Alicia, so he let her go. As for himself?

I just want to use this reputation to do things, and I don't expect respect from others.

After lingering for too long, Ryan has long since passed the middle school stage of being a hero. Mei does the brain-burning things and leaves the eye-catching work to Alicia. He only lurks in the darkness and controls everything.

So even the TV station didn't react. Ryan had disappeared into the huge mountain, stepping on countless wreckage and human body fragments, slowly disappearing into the darkness, with only those gray eyes observing around.

'I am sure that the Herrscher of Wind has taken the opportunity to leave. The tactics are very good and worthy of vigilance, but she is not stupid either. Creating such city-breaking power requires a large amount of Honkai Energy and cannot be copied. '

'The people from Fire Chaser are finally here. There is something wrong with the gyrocopter, and I feel the reaction of Honkai energy. '

He raised his head, looked at the planes in the sky, and quickly locked onto one of them. He could faintly see the figure beside the cabin door.

Is this the sword of punishment?

Ryan thought of Mei's intelligence. Because of his participation, the fusion warriors were not only ahead of schedule, but also did not have the urgency of the original world line. They could be implemented step by step and scientifically.

No wonder the higher-ups approved the celebration.

He understood that these were the fusion warriors of the Fire Chaser Moth. Although they were all factors of the lower-level Honkaimon, they were essentially different from humans, and they were even more different from the crude and failed products of the pure-blood sect.

It's enough to swarm the Herrscher of the Dead Wind with numbers, and then become the protagonist in this battle, so that Alicia is no longer the only one.

"Another secret scientific research line bypasses Mebius. As expected, no one is stupid."

Ryan nodded slightly. This was obviously a defense against him, but he did not object. At least this was the fighting power of humans.

At least for now.

In the original world line, there were hundreds of fusion warriors, and they were almost wiped out by the Herrscher of Binding. From then on, Mei finally took control of the Fire Chaser Moth.

These fusion warriors must be checking and balancing Mei. With that woman's government, she could have used Kevin to suppress all opposition. It was precisely because of the constraining power in the hands of the council that she had been lurking for so long.

"When she takes control of everything, it will be too late. I have to learn this lesson. Fortunately, my IQ is not as good as hers, but my strength has always been among the top three among humans." Ryan said to himself, and felt that the current situation was different from hers. May was completely different back then.

Humans have created monsters in advance, and the Herrschers have also learned to assess the situation, and the intensity of the war will double.

Ryan stepped on the cracked ground and laughed to himself:

"Earth, I hope you can hold on."

Chapter 126: Third New Tokyo City?

The propeller made a roaring sound, and the purple-haired young man squatted outside the cabin, grabbing the armrest and looking at the ground.

There is a long and narrow scar on his left eye, and the right side of his face is covered with burn marks. Only his original handsome face can be vaguely seen. He is wearing a full set of Saki MK.V heavy-duty exoskeleton and holding a heavy electromagnetic rifle in his arms. Full of warrior aura.

At first glance, he looked like an elite warrior, but his red eyes were too bright and the pupils were a bit cracked, which added a bit of inhuman quality.

The young man glanced at Alicia at the top of the mountain, then focused more on the bottom of the mountain and pressed the headset.

"Sir Kallis, I have seen Dr. Lane. Yes, he did not accept the cheers and only left quietly."

"Really, how strong do you think he is?"

"Sorry, I can't judge without the battle process, but judging from the intelligence from the Third Herrscher period, his combat power will not be higher than mine." The young man paused and replied cautiously: "But that crusade The information is incomplete, I’m not sure if he used full power, and Dr. Lane also performs fusion warrior surgeries.”

"Yes, and it is most likely a factor of the Judgment-level Honkai Beast. Vinar, as the most powerful warrior of the Southern European branch, do you feel jealous?"

The chief of staff in the headset was very gentle, as if chatting after a meal. The young man's red eyes were slightly frozen, but he soon returned to normal.

"I can only fuse a mutated Honkai Emperor. This is genetically determined. I'm not jealous, and I'm looking forward to fighting side by side with Dr. Lane."

"Oh, you are in a good mood. Let's close the team."

"As ordered."

Vinard turned his head, and there were more than a dozen figures sitting in the cabin, either male or female, with different expressions, except for two similarities.

First, they are not very old, because veterans cannot survive fusion surgery; second, their weapons are extremely sophisticated, and some are so heavy that ordinary people can hardly bear them. One shot would break their shoulder joints.

"Let's close the team."

"Ah, we came out full of confidence, are we just here to hang out?" A girl with silver curly hair complained, and the bubbles she blew broke with a 'pop'.

"Freya, we are here to defeat the Herrscher. She has escaped. Do you want to stay and clean up?" The strong woman with dark skin and clear muscles spread her hands.

"Hey, she's lucky, I've already written her suicide note."

"I wrote a lot of words in it for you. I asked you to read more, but you didn't listen." A girl with short blond hair and a well-behaved appearance smiled. Seeing that her companion looked unkind, she stuffed a lollipop into the other person's newly opened mouth. Mouth.

"Don't be angry. Eat candy, eat candy, and don't think too much. Sooner or later, you will have a chance to defeat the Herrscher."

The people in the team also became quiet, and it was obvious that they were friendly to her.

Alice is not only sweet and cute, but also comes from a noble family. It is rare to see such a person working on the front line.

She comforted her friend, then tilted her head and asked, "Speaking of captain, if we really face off against the Herrscher, can we win?"

Weiner was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "I don't know, but it's no problem for a whole team to entangle her. We have tried simulated battles many times."

They conducted targeted training in virtual reality and found that each one was giving away meat. However, with the equipment and cooperation, they still had a winning rate of 30.00%, which is already amazing.

"Go back. We have no rest. We have to continue the next phase of training and debugging of new equipment. The research committee is progressing very quickly."

He turned around and felt his clothes being grabbed. He instinctively turned his head and saw a young man sitting on the stool.

The boy's gray-blue hair was tied into pigtails and looked slightly metallic. His childish face was expressionless, and his light green eyes were somewhat eye-catching.

Sharp and low, full of hatred and murderous intent.

"Captain, I want to participate in the extermination operation in the southern rainforest."

"Can you tell me the reason, Ed."

The young man covered his eyes, suppressing the hatred in his heart.

"Because I want to fight, because I have to fight. Even if the Herrscher escapes, I will drive out every one of her henchmen!"

......

This is not an escape at all, but a triumphant transition.

Ryan touched his chin, without the slightest hint of ridicule. The Fourth Herrscher's move was considered smart. She completely jumped from the light to the dark, but it was more troublesome than her three stubborn predecessors.

So he and Alicia were immediately recalled to the Fire Chaser headquarters in New York. The top management was very afraid of the Herrscher coming to a central flowering or beheading operation.

"That's annoying. I'm not their guard dog."

"But your surgery has been approved by the superiors." Mei slid her finger across the tablet and was looking at San Diego's battle information.

"So this can be considered one of the benefits. It indirectly promotes the fusion warrior plan. Otherwise, even if we have a higher success rate, they would not be so happy."

Mei nodded without any trace. The changes in the Herrscher made no difference to Ryan, unless a Herrscher was born who specialized in assassination and killed Ryan while he was sleeping.

She just changed her war form slightly.

The suddenness and concealment are enough to make the army completely play a supporting role. Just like the unlucky third fleet, the Herrscher can take action before the war machine has started, preventing the huge fleet from functioning at all.

"So powerful individuals have become the general trend. At least fusion warriors are more flexible than battleships and aircraft. I will also adjust the research priorities. Giant electromagnetic guns and other things can be moved down the order.

Mei said as she erased some projects. She had wanted to do this for a long time, but those military-industrial groups kept objecting, saying that in terms of power, it was even more powerful than the Herrscher, and could be destroyed for dozens of miles with one shot.

It's better now, people won't jump out and be a target. No matter how powerful you are, it's useless if you can't find the target.

Ryan also smiled. Technology is not useless, but it is too rigid and difficult to cope with various situations, but it cannot be abandoned.

"The early warning starlink plan must be strengthened, and the Honkai energy detector must continue to be refined. At least it must be able to analyze the spectrum and determine the identity of the enemy."

"Are you looking for the Fourth Herrscher?" Mei responded very quickly and raised the matter to the highest priority.

"It's not a problem to keep, and there will be other Herrschers in the future." Ryan nodded lightly and asked casually: "Besides, there are still ordinary people in the world. Mei, have you ever played chess?"

"You want to talk about the counter in chess."

"Well, pawns versus pawns, generals versus generals, and kings versus kings, every chess piece plays a role. It would be impossible to defeat Honkai with just a few of us. Just like in the battle of the Third Herrscher, if she hadn't underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, The outcome is unpredictable.”

The Herrscher of Thunder was almost killed by the Fire Chaser Moth. Ryan just launched a fatal blow, but without the prerequisites, he couldn't find a chance at all.

Mei held her chin, thought carefully for a while, and added back the items she had just erased: "Do you think the Herrscher's individual strength will become stronger and stronger?"

"Yes, there must be some kind of pattern here. I assume-" Ryan licked his lips and looked deeply: "The more intense the human resistance, the higher the level of civilization will be, and the stronger the Herrscher will be."

He has been wondering why he didn't just send out the Herrscher of Restraint to handle it directly. The reason is very simple.

It's not that you don't want to, it's that you can't.

Mei nodded, moved the computer over, and explained: "It's an interesting hypothesis. This is the Honkai energy response table I just made. After the appearance of the Fourth Herrscher, the global average value of Honkai energy increased by 1.3. This is the number of cases of Honkai Disease outbreak, which also increased by 3% month-on-month."

"So you've figured it out a long time ago." Ryan slid the mouse, reading the data one by one, and saw the words top secret at the end: "Then this data cannot be published?"

"Yes, because this result is disappointing. There is no victory in defeating the Herrscher and conquering the Honkai Beast. Once the train of destruction starts, humans will lose the qualification to destroy."

The girl adjusted her glasses, her eyes filled with coldness, which made Ryan admire her calm tone.

Confrontation will only lead to more violent counterattacks, and failure will be sheer suicide. This is indeed desperate.

Ryan hesitated for a moment, and then answered: "There will be an end point, and there is an upper limit for Honkai Impact. We only need to compete for speed. If we exceed this upper limit, we can win."

"Are you sure?" Mei's eyes lit up.

"A lot of things have changed, but this thing should stay the same."
