Bad woman, join the hunt tonight

After all, she was the one who killed all the people in the sanatorium that Qianjie and Li mentioned. She was the kind of person who could be sought after at any time without any excuse. In this situation, for a murderer like her to be caught between two victims, listening to them discussing the other victim... If she were someone with a thicker skin, it would be fine, but Ying was obviously not one of them, so she felt very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it is almost over. I hope Mr. Su will not assign such tasks again. She is really embarrassed...

-

After Mei gave up his senior position to Su, the administration of the Fire-Chasing Moth became more clean, work efficiency was greatly improved, and the previous situation of 100% corruption rate would no longer occur.

On Mei's side, freed from those meaningless political dramas, she finally no longer needs to spend so much time dealing with other people and official duties, and can devote all her energy to scientific research again.

This chief scientist of humanity, now freed from her burden, demonstrated her true talents. Various genius designs quickly emerged, and research on Honkai also made rapid progress.

First, the number of Herrschers was determined to be fourteen, which pointed out the key points for the war between humans and Honkai, which originally had no end in sight, and greatly boosted the morale of humans. Soon after, the Moonlight Throne Project was proposed, which could convert Honkai energy into other forms of energy, providing humans with a powerful weapon to completely defeat Honkai.

In the meeting held today, the essence of the so-called collapse was directly pointed out - but compared with the previous discoveries that made all human beings excited from the bottom of their hearts, the result this time was difficult for many people to accept.

"Li, what do you think of what Mei said today?"

As one of the few warriors who participated in the meeting, Kevin quietly approached Li after the meeting: "The collapse is other civilizations looking for their own kind..."

"Is it because of such a ridiculous reason that we have paid such a high price to struggle until now?"

However, to Kevin's surprise, Li remained quite calm regarding this conclusion that made many people angry.

"Isn't this great?"

Volume 239: Faith Extinct in Civilization: Chapter Chapter The Ninth Collapse

"Good.....?"

Kevin's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting such an answer at all.

In his mind, Li, who had always shown the greatest love for this world, would be as angry as himself when he found out that the reason why countless humans were killed by Honkai was because of the casual actions of other civilizations who thought they were friendly... But, it turned out to be quite good?!

As if seeing through Kevin's thoughts, Li sighed and looked up at the gray sky: "Kevin, how can we defeat Honkai?"

The sudden question left Kevin speechless. After a moment of thought, he said, "It should be to defeat all the Herrschers and survive the Collapse."

"Like you said yourself, Kevin—it's just getting through the Collapse."

Li leaned against the railing, letting the wind mess up her long hair, her expression calm: "It can't be considered a victory at all, I just barely survived the collapse and was not destroyed."

"I used to think - what's the point of killing these Herrschers? They are just weapons used by the Houkai to exterminate humanity. Even if they are destroyed, the next weapon will soon appear... If the people holding the weapons are not eliminated, this cycle will have no end."

"But we don't even know what the person holding the weapon is. The so-called Honkai Will is invisible and intangible. Facing such a thing, we can only wait in frustration and can do nothing about it."

"But if the collapse is the work of a certain civilization, then things would be much easier... Since it chose to [embrace] it, it must have been prepared to be [embraced] back by us one day, right?"

There was no particular change in Li's expression, but from the flash of bright red in his eyes, Kevin could clearly feel it - murderous intent.

Kevin had never seen Li fight the Herrscher, so he didn't know how Li would behave when facing those things. But from what he knew of Li's daily behavior, no matter who he faced, even those high-ranking people who were definitely not good people, Li never showed any intention of attacking, let alone killing.

But just now Li did have murderous intentions towards that civilization he had never met before.

At this moment, Kevin felt that he understood Li a little better - Li deeply loves humans, and only loves humans. All existences that endanger humans will be regarded as enemies by her.

And facing such an extreme Li, Kevin likes him even more.

"Yes, after we defeat all the Herrschers, let's prepare to treat them the way they are." Kevin showed a rare smile, "After all, everyone should be responsible for their own actions and be prepared to bear the price of their choices."

"......yes."

Li didn't say much, she just smiled softly and looked up at the sky again: "When that day comes, Kevin, you will definitely be able to do it."

But if you want to fight, go ahead. I won't join in the fun. And that sister Zhongyan's cheat is so outrageous. You can't even beat her, how can you take revenge...

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me then.

Besides, it's a bit too far to think about the end now. The next Herrscher seems to be the Herrscher of Rock? If I remember correctly, this person directly sank the entire pre-civilization Mu Continent. Let's think about how to pass this level first.

But Mu Continent...it seems like I'm in Mu Continent now?

Should I move house in advance?

-

The arrival of the Herrscher always catches people off guard. What surprised Li was that perhaps because her strength had recovered, the mysterious will did not harass her to sell products this time.

But the ability to predict the future played a big role in this collapse. Although the appearance of the Herrscher was not predicted too early, thanks to the fact that the leader of the Fire Moths is now Su, a teammate who will never doubt Li's words, after informing him that the Ninth Herrscher will soon appear in Mu Continent and even sink the entire continent, Su immediately began the evacuation operation.

Mu Continent is the industrial and technological center of this civilization, and is also the headquarters of the Fire Moth, so its status is extraordinary in the world. However, when facing an enemy that can destroy the entire continent, it is impossible to transfer all the huge population and various equipment resources in a short period of time, so Su can only block the news while quickly transferring the scientists in the headquarters and ordering the organization of the most elite warriors to prepare to fight against the Herrscher.

Such a large-scale mobilization could not hide all traces. The news that Mu Continent was about to receive the Ruler spread quickly, causing a great deal of panic. However, most people remained calm and even optimistic about it - come on, we have so many fusion warriors, okay?

One fusion warrior can kill the Seventh Herrscher who burned down half of Australia, and one fusion warrior can kill the Eighth Herrscher who can hide in the network and consciousness... Now there are so many Herrschers in the headquarters who are preparing to attack the Ninth Herrscher, isn't this a piece of cake?

Because the number of global Honkai incidents had increased massively some time before the appearance of the Herrscher of the Stone, a number of fusion warriors were transferred from the headquarters, which had an absolute surplus of defense capabilities, to other places for support, and the combat effectiveness of the fusion warriors was further widely spread.

Most people fear the existence of these Honkai beast fusions, but when protection is needed, they will still stand up straight and be proud of the strength of the fusion warriors without hesitation.

Even though strong men like Kevin were on their way, the number of fusion warriors left at the headquarters was still enough to form a team to attack the Ninth Herrscher.

The team was led by Li, the artificial Herrscher, and Grayshu's father, Hen.

"I remember you could stay at the headquarters to take charge of defense. Why did you join the expedition team?"

When they were about to board the aircraft and rush to the point where the Ninth Herrscher appeared, Li frowned and looked at the fully armed Hen: "It's very dangerous to subjugate the Herrscher... I remember you said that you would spend more time with Grayshure and Blanca in the future. You shouldn't have accepted this mission at all."

"I know." Hen scratched his face and smiled, "But there is no other way. Who made me so strong? I am the strongest person in the headquarters besides you. In this case, in order to ensure that this Herrscher is killed, I must join the expedition team. Otherwise, what if the mission fails? It is difficult for me to trust the safety of my wife and children to others~"

"...Grace and Blanca will be very sad if you die."

"I know... but as long as they can survive, I'm willing to do anything." Looking at the aircraft slowly landing in front of him, Hen's expression was rarely serious, "Even if they are sad and hate me, as long as they can survive, it's fine."

Li was silent, and immediately stopped trying to persuade Hen. He just closed his eyes silently: "...Yes, you are right."

"As long as they can survive, that's enough."

Volume 240: Faith Extinct in Civilization: Chapter Chapter Go to hell

When Li Yuhen and all the fusion warriors of the headquarters arrived at the location where the Herrscher was scheduled to appear, the Ninth Herrscher had already appeared, floating high in the air, while on the ground below were countless densely packed groups of Honkai beasts.

"How exaggerated..." Hen tried hard to force a smile, "Luckily this guy appeared in the no-man's land, otherwise the disaster caused by these Honkai beasts would be exaggerated."

"Li, you have more experience in defeating Herrscher, so I'll let you lead the battle."

Many people don't want to get close to Li's identity as a Herrscher, even fusion warriors are no exception. But when facing a real Herrscher, no one wants to reject Hen's proposal. After all, Li is a hero who has defeated nearly half of the Herrschers by herself and is an absolute expert in fighting against Herrschers.

"I will paralyze her movements. After that, don't worry about those Honkai beasts. Just encircle and destroy the Ninth Herrscher." Li narrowed his eyes slightly. The Ninth Herrscher was a ruthless person who could use a pseudo black hole to swallow up the entire Mu Continent. Compared with him, the threat of Honkai beasts was nothing. "Everyone, be prepared. Make sure to kill her in one blow. Don't give her any time to react."

When dealing with this kind of Herrscher who destroys humanity, Li never talks about the code of conduct in the underworld, and a gang fight is all that matters.

As Li and the others got closer, the Ninth Herrscher also noticed their arrival and couldn't help but let out an arrogant sneer.

"Even ants have to make useless efforts..."

"Sword God!!!"

The Ninth Herrscher had just opened his mouth when he suddenly saw a huge sword blade that looked like condensed moonlight suddenly appear above his head, and then fell towards him like a meteor!

The Ninth Herrscher hastily constructed a defense to try to block it, but the sword seemed to have no substance at all, and it slammed into her body without any effect!

The moment it hit the Ninth Herrscher, the sword blade that was so powerful just now disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed. The Ninth Herrscher did not suffer any injuries, but his eyes became empty for some reason, and then he fell straight down from the sky.

"Now!" Li gave an order, and the fusion warriors led by Hen rushed towards the direction where the Ninth Herrscher fell from all directions like lightning, determined to kill him on the spot.

Looking at his teammates flying away, Li seemed relieved.

The homemade version of Taixu Sword God was a great success~

Mobilize Honkai energy to create a huge attack that can instantly attract attention, and use the Herrscher ability to add hints to this attack, making it look dangerous, but it is actually just a cover.

The real danger is the invisible consciousness attack condensed behind the sword energy. When the opponent is surprised and shaken because the seemingly dangerous attack is completely ineffective, the deadly killer will arrive when the opponent is most unprepared.

It's a bit unsportsmanlike, but it's useful. Didn't you see that the Ninth Herrscher was sunk by one sword?

Moreover, this move can condense and compress the huge sword-shaped collapse energy at any time, making it an extremely lethal attack in reality. The conversion between virtual and real is even more difficult to guard against - in this way, it can still have a miraculous effect even when facing spiritual specialized warriors like Su and Aponia.

Although he didn't know what Fu Hua's future version of Taixu Sword God would be like, Li felt that the pirated version of Sword God she created was quite useful.

But since Ping An killed the Ninth Herrscher, has the crisis of Mu Continent been resolved by himself?

The moment this thought appeared in Li's mind, something strange happened.

A black light flashed past the place where the Herrscher fell, and then a strong suction force suddenly enveloped him. The surrounding air rushed towards the black light like a hurricane, and even Li had to try his best to barely stabilize his body. Everything around Li, whether it was the Honkai beasts, the trees, or even the earth itself, began to shatter and fly towards the center!

A pseudo black hole?!

Looking at the expanding black hole, Li was really dumbfounded. She could clearly feel through her consciousness that the Ninth Herrscher, who had been hit by her pirated Sword God, had died completely before he could even wake up, without even having the chance to do a sit-up.

It turns out that this thing can self-destruct after death!? !

When Li frowned, Hen's figure suddenly appeared beside her, but his right hand had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the constantly flowing blood.

"My goodness, this Herrscher is quite ruthless..."

Hen knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, staring at the terrifying black hole in the distance, and it was difficult to keep the smile on his face: "You were prepared to be killed from the beginning, so you prepared a backup plan? The core was almost taken out, but you could still launch such an attack at that moment... No one else could come out."

Everyone else was crushed into powder, and only Hen escaped alive from the sudden explosion of the black hole. This was not only because his own strength was stronger than other fusion warriors, but also because Hen himself was fused with the companion Honkai beast of the Second Herrscher, so the ability he obtained was also related to space.

To put it simply, it is the ability to control the scale of space to a certain extent, making the originally close distance become longer, and the originally far distance become shorter. He just escaped from the dangerous area in this way.

"...the black hole is expanding very quickly."

After a moment of silence, Li did not mention the warriors who died in the black hole. He just silently looked at the expanding black hole again: "Although the black hole will disappear sooner or later without the continuous output of power after the death of the Ninth Herrscher, judging from its current strength, it will at least swallow up the entire Mu Continent."

"Hen, before you escaped from there, you used your power on the Herrscher to slow down the expansion of the black hole, right?"

Although there is no way to make this pseudo black hole disappear, Hen's ability can temporarily slow down the speed of the black hole. After all, the Herrscher's creation is not a real black hole like the one in the Milky Way that swallows up planets, so as long as Hen stretches the space around the black hole, it can temporarily prevent it from destroying the entire continent so quickly.

Unfortunately, Hen's ability is not strong enough. If he could make Zeno's turtle a reality, it would not be impossible to delay this simulated black hole until it disappears.

But Hen is not that strong. If he stays here and forcibly controls the black hole, although he can buy a short period of time, he will be crushed into powder by the black hole the moment he is exhausted.

So the question is, what should I do...

of course?

The next moment, Hen heard a familiar voice coming from beside him, but the words that voice said were too unfamiliar to him.

"Hen, go to hell."

Volume 241: Faith Extinguishes in Civilization: Chapter Chapter : A Heart That Does Not Beat

Hen suddenly looked up at Li beside him. She was still standing there looking at the black hole not far away, her face expressionless.

Her white hair fluttered in the wind, and there was only calmness in her bright red eyes, as if the person who had just said those words was not her.

Hen even wondered if he was hallucinating. After all, how could the always gentle Li say such horrible words?

But Li's next words made Hen even more heartbroken.

"Once the black hole explodes, it will only take less than ten minutes to engulf the entire continent. Not to mention the common people, even most of the people at the Fire Moth headquarters will be unable to evacuate." Li didn't even look down at the injured Hen. "Your ability can delay the black hole explosion, which is very useful to us. Even if it only gives us one more second of evacuation time, we can save countless people."

"Of course, you will die... but it's worth it. More people will survive because of it, so your death will be worthwhile."

Indifferent, calm...it seemed that what Li said was not about letting an old friend and companion whom he had known for many years die, but about disposing of a piece of garbage that was no longer useful, hoping that it could play a role in the end.

"Didn't you say you were willing to do anything for Grayshu and Blanca? Now is that time. If the black hole explodes now, many people in the headquarters will not be able to escape, and the few evacuation locations will definitely be looted at all costs. Are you sure they can leave safely?"

"So go die, Hen. Sacrificing you to save so many people is a very worthwhile thing to do."

"..."

Looking at Li beside him, he was silent, then he smiled bitterly and stood up with the support of his only remaining arm.

"Li, I understand... Even if you don't tell me, I will do it. There are some things you don't have to say."

Turning his head to look at the death-like darkness, a look of determination flashed across the faces of this competent warrior and father: "Gresh and Blanca are in my hands. Take good care of them for me."

He did not hesitate, and walked towards the sacrifice——

"Wait a moment."

Li's call came from behind. Perhaps she couldn't pretend to be ruthless after all, and wanted to persuade herself not to sacrifice herself - Hen thought so.

But there was no need to do this anymore. He had made up his mind to protect his daughter and wife, as well as the world they lived in, no matter what.

"There's no way to rule out the possibility that you'll desert after I leave. I need to take some insurance measures... Next, I'll stamp your consciousness to ensure that you become a deserter."

Li's words made Hen's steps, which had already been taken, freeze in the air.

"After all, you have spatial abilities. If you only care about your wife and daughter, it is possible for you to quickly return to the headquarters and use force to secure an evacuation route for them."
