I am a hero of the former civilization.

The residential area was turned into a deep pit, with nothing within hundreds of meters. Steel and houses were all wiped away, fully demonstrating the indestructible nature of the Herrscher of Thunder.

Ryan was not in a hurry and continued to observe from the shadows. Soon, the second and third rounds of attacks from the Fire Moths came one after another.

First, the sky was blasted open by a rapidly falling object, and as sunlight streamed in, a dark shadow flashed past Ryan's eyes.

"The Scepter of God?"

This was an attack launched by a near-Earth satellite. A ten-meter-long high-strength alloy fell directly from space, like a spear from the heavens. The kinetic energy it carried was enough to obliterate a small town.

Then, a bright light illuminated Ryan's eyes, but it vanished in an instant. By the time he realized it, the 'Scepter of God' had disappeared, as if it had never been there at all.

"It's no use. The high-strength alloy only penetrates one meter into that field before it disintegrates."

A few seconds later, almost the instant the 'scepter' disappeared, several hypersonic ballistic missiles skimmed across the water. They were loaded with heavy warheads, but failed to unleash their spectacular display.

Several arcs of electricity surged up spontaneously, like scythes sweeping across the sky, rendering the warheads useless before they even exploded.

“Herrschers are not sitting ducks; they will take the initiative to attack once they detect danger.” Ryan sighed, looking into the distance while glancing at the tactical terminal. Just as the out-of-control missile hit the ground, what he had been waiting for finally arrived.

Dozens of cruise missiles flew in and exploded with a deafening roar a hundred meters away from the light curtain.

A series of red orbs suddenly lit up, and the warhead released all the Honkai energy it had stored. The roaring energy engulfed everything around it, while Ryan narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the figure in the pit.

She retreated, and as expected, she couldn't perfectly block the Honkai energy, which was the same kind of energy as her.

Her fist clenched quietly, and the weight in her heart was finally lifted. Although the Herrscher of Thunder only took a small step back, it still proved that Honkai energy was the most efficient at killing.

"This proves I have a chance." Ryan gained some confidence. To be honest, he was still quite apprehensive after seeing that the saturation attack had no effect.

For example, the scepter of the gods—how could a mortal possibly intercept it? Yet he didn't move, only his gaze became increasingly focused.

After the initial three moves, the information in the tactical terminal began to become chaotic. The Fire Moth had already used most of its weapons, a group of scientists were racking their brains, and the supercomputer was about to crash.

A single spark in the microscopic world requires billions of calculations, while the Herrscher of Thunder has expanded this scale by at least ten thousand times, like a beast that has had its fill of play, gently stepping out with its left foot.

In an instant, the gaunt figure in the center of the crater had vanished, leaving only a bolt of lightning that shot from the ground into the sky and stopped in the middle of the fierce aerial battle. The world suddenly became eerily quiet.

Whether it was the distant Moth of Fire command post, Ryan on the ground, or the pilots in the air, everyone was watching this bizarre scene.

Without any tools, a young girl hovered in the air, her silver hair fluttering gently. All around her were various war machines, missiles streaking past and machine guns roaring, but she seemed out of place.

"That damned position has disappeared! All squadrons, attack!"

"Concentrate your firepower and crush this monster."

The shock lasted only a moment before the Moth of Fire launched a counterattack. Ignoring the Honkai Beasts, the fighter jets gathered from all directions. The pilots seemed to have entered a state of euphoria, frantically pressing the firing buttons.

shhhhh......

The dense trails of missiles tore through the sky, flying towards the center from all directions, but the girl's golden eyes merely turned slightly as she opened her right hand.

Purple lightning gathered and condensed into a long sword, as if created from nothingness.

“A foolish and pointless resistance.”

His voice was devoid of any emotion, then he gripped the knife handle in reverse and gently nudged it towards his feet.

Like a pebble dropped into a lake, countless purple arcs of electricity spread in all directions. The ripples swept silently across the sky, disappearing from the center point to the horizon in an instant.

It wasn't particularly dazzling, but the next moment, a scene that gave me goosebumps appeared.

Hundreds of missiles flew erratically through the air. These sophisticated weapons, like the cheapest fireworks, collided with each other, fell on buildings and the ground, and exploded in plumes of smoke, setting several city blocks ablaze.

Not only the missiles, but the fighter jets also lost control. All electronic and communication systems failed, and even breaking the control stick could not bring them back into control.

The sky seemed to be raining down iron, and the fighter jets spun as they fell, turning into fireballs after a series of thunderous explosions.

In the blink of an eye, all three squadrons were wiped out.

Ryan's pupils contracted. Only when he saw this scene with his own eyes did he realize the terror of the Herrscher. His Honkai energy intensity had now exceeded that of the Emperor level, and he would have a hard time fighting against an air force of this scale.

Those missiles aren't fireworks; they require energy to defend against. Yet, the Herrscher annihilated them all with a single electromagnetic pulse wave—how effortless!

Is this the authority of a Lawyer? How exactly is it done?

I really want to explore this unknown.

Desire overwhelmed fear, but fortunately it did not overwhelm reason. He had estimated that the high-polymer energy-blocking armor created by Mebius could only block three attacks at most, and the Herrscher of Thunder could not even operate at full power.

The attacks of the Fire-Chasing Moths were ineffective, but they could continuously deplete the Herrscher's energy. No matter how powerful an authority is, its power will be greatly reduced without energy. However, there are two problems here:

First, Herrscher Honkai Beasts are different; not only is their Honkai energy intensity high, but their replenishment rate is also extremely fast.

Secondly, the Moth Chaser isn't stupid; that group also wants to use Canghai City as cannon fodder, and launch an attack after they've been worn down enough.

It's really pathetic. The Fire Moths, which were supposed to protect everyone, are instead being used as expendable resources by ordinary people.

Ryan glanced at the terminal again and caught a key command:

The entire group temporarily retreats, awaiting Alicia's arrival and support.

Is that fairy lady finally coming?

Ryan also showed some joy, but unlike the ordinary soldiers, his morale didn't soar. He knew all too well what those high-ranking guys were thinking.

If Alicia can defeat the Third Herrscher, that would be great. If not, those bastards will blow it up, because Mebius won't be able to uncover any secrets, and Alicia's value has been greatly reduced.

“Then I’ll forge another path.” Ryan took a deep breath, looked at the Herrscher in the sky, and raised his right hand.

The intense Honkai energy gathered into a ball in his palm, then stretched, contracted, and condensed like noodles. In that instant, the Herrscher in the air immediately lowered his head.

Even though missiles were still flying in from the sky, detonating before hitting the Herrscher, the concentration of Honkai energy was too rare, and the source was instantly pinpointed.

On the rooftop of the office building, a man was also watching her, his black hair surging like the tide, the surrounding satellite antennas were dissolving, and in his hand was a 'burning' crimson spear.

who is it?

The Herrscher tilted her head slightly, instinctively a little puzzled. Before the emergence of Fusion Warriors, Honkai energy was indeed rare among humans, but her instincts quickly told her the answer:

This is... the enemy!

thump—

The rooftop shattered instantly, and the crimson spear hurtled towards her at several times the speed of sound, piercing through the electromagnetic barrier in a flash, causing her to instinctively raise her sword.

Sizzle—Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted as the light spear and longsword collided, creating a mist-like spread that enveloped the Herrscher like a flower. Then, in the next instant, it was annihilated by an even larger bolt of lightning.

The sky was filled with arcs of electricity, and all the Honkai Beasts within a hundred meters were decomposed into particles, but the Herrscher didn't care at all, only looking down at the earth.

With a spear thrown, the strange human did not rush up to fight him, but instead disappeared into the collapsing rooftop. A moment later, the Herrscher had locked onto the opponent through the smoke and dust.

The man jumped from the rooftop, forming steps in the air, and sprinted as he fell.

The Herrscher tilted her head expressionlessly, and quickly received an instinctive response:

Chase him, destroy him, until not a single atom remains!

Chapter 54 Shifting the Blame East

coming.

Ryan was speeding along the wide six-lane road with his head down, making no attempt to hide, as if he knew that the Herrscher could lock onto him with just residual energy, without even using his eyes.

Without turning around, he could feel the violent killing intent, like a hornet's nest that had been disturbed and was about to rush out to fight him to the death. It was a destructive desire that originated from the soul.

It's chilling!

Fortunately, Ryan has a very strong mental fortitude, and the best way to combat fear is to shift his attention.

What's with this feeling of impending doom? When did I ever offend the Honkai?

He paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

Okay, I really offended the Honkai a lot. All my current power comes from them. From the Honkai's perspective, I am a little bit hateful.

"But so what?"

Ryan brought the car to an abrupt stop, and a dazzling bolt of lightning spread out like a spiderweb, leaving behind lava-like cracks wherever the winding arcs of electricity swept across.

The cement road surface was instantly riddled with gullies, cars and buildings were completely burned, and a five-story residential building on the roadside was simply shattered into pieces. Fortunately, there was no one left in this area, only assassins and corpses, otherwise a single blow would have been enough to kill a thousand people.

Ryan was also hit by the electric arc, and his heart sank when he saw a hole melted into his released Honkai energy.

Even if we had the same amount of energy, I couldn't compete with her in terms of cost-effectiveness.

Just like when Ryan dealt with Velvi's creations, missiles and machine guns were too inefficient, but this time it's the other way around.

Authority is even more incredible than Honkai energy; a one-on-one duel is tantamount to suicide.

Ryan did a backflip and jumped off the overpass, then saw the lava-like texture reappear at the bottom of the bridge, and with a 'boom' it shattered into pieces.

Large chunks of cement fell down, and Ryan flipped his spear, striking rapidly and leaving a trail of afterimages.

Boo hoo hoo...

Dozens of tons of debris were sent flying into the sky, but the Herrscher of Thunder didn't budge an inch. Her golden eyes swept over the debris, and she lightly swung her sword.

In an instant, the cement block turned into ashes, like a thick fog rising in the air. Ryan stared at the ashes, his eyes twitching. Without thinking, he slid back, and sure enough, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a bolt of lightning piercing through the fog.

boom! !

The spot where he had been standing sank completely, turning into a smooth, large pit. The muffled sound echoed in his ears almost without any gap. Then he heard a clap of thunder. Without thinking, he used his spear to push the ground and brace himself to the side.

Phew—boom!

Something scorching hot swept past her, and then, a 20-story apartment building a hundred meters away was sliced ​​in two. The silver-haired girl seemed to be glued to the falling wall, crouching down as she coldly stared at the enemy.

Extremely fast speed, irrational destructive power...

Ryan's pupils contracted. Only by fighting them personally could he know how terrifying these monsters were. In other words, how many people would have to die for the Fire-Chasing Moths to wear down this monster?

As the rapidly approaching purple lightning once again filled Ryan's pupils, without thinking, he stepped forward with his left foot and thrust out his spear with all his might.

Wild Force. Mountain-Shattering Spear.

Time seemed to freeze. Ryan concentrated all his will and strength, and with a powerful shot, he felt as if he had indeed pierced something. A bright light illuminated his pupils, and arcs of electricity and Honkai energy collided, revealing a delicate but expressionless face.

"Human, is this all you've got?" The Herrscher opened its mouth, its voice sharp and strange, as if multiple voices were echoing in one's ear.

Ryan was perhaps one of the few people who heard the Herrscher speak. His mind raced as he analyzed every word the Herrscher said, sensing an arrogance of a superior and an incredibly pure will.

Regardless of gender, appearance, or power, all Lawyers share one thing in common:

The purest desire for destruction!
