I am the former civilized hero.

Mei's sharp eyes softened slightly. She stared at Ryan and nodded silently: "Okay, I believe you."

Ryan has never confessed anything, and there is no need for a genius like May to confess. All the possibilities of his origins have long been included in countless assumptions.

"Are you suddenly motivated?"

"No, even if you don't say anything, I will find the answer sooner or later, but if I believe it, I can save some energy." Mei rolled her eyes at Ryan, slowly stood up, and motioned Ryan to follow.

The two of them were in the basement of the Fire Moth headquarters, which had been hollowed out a long time ago. Its area was larger than the several underground bunkers Ryan had seen, and it was more solid. After the incident with the Fourth Herrscher, the Fire Moth had been further expanded and reinforced.

There is a hundred-meter rock layer above the head, plus fifteen alloy armor plates. It is said that even if the Herrscher comes, it can resist for 24 hours.

Ryan looked around with interest. Powerful people are afraid of death, so they built such a solid underground fortress as their headquarters, and also had some special departments.

The research committee is here, the deepest place is also here, and there are buzzing mechanical sounds coming from all around.

"Are you planning to expand an underground city?"

"Well, the space on the top level will be opened up to form a huge underground cave that can provide shelter for civilians. At that time, these places you see will only become entrances." Mei explained as she walked. Only the 'tapping' sound of her high heels could be heard. She stomped heavily a few times.

"Excavation will continue below here, and the final depth may reach 800 meters. By then, various departments will be relocated further down. Forget it, just look at the map yourself."

Mei suddenly felt that it was a bit troublesome to explain, so she simply threw the tablet over. As part of the "Human Refuge Plan", Fire Moth invested a huge amount of money, and after the destruction of San Diego, it received another wave of epic enhancements.

Ryan took a look at the design and found that the underground was dug into an inverted triangle structure. The cavity could accommodate nearly a million people. There was also an "optical fiber" installed above it to reflect sunlight underground, which was enough for humans to survive for a long time.

Then the ground tried its best to add various weapons and cooperate with the fleet to build a super fortress.

The third new Tokyo? ?

Ryan said he had a strange sense of déjà vu, and then he looked carefully at the persons in charge, most of them were Wei Wei, no wonder she disappeared excitedly after returning to the headquarters.

This guy really loves building houses.

The more he flipped through the pages, the more frightened he became. This fire-chasing moth was planning to stay underground for a long time. For example, there were hundreds of sub-items such as food cultivation areas and identity recognition plans. They were so densely packed that Ryan couldn't keep up.

"You don't object to this meaningless investment? The Herrscher is capable of more than just physical attacks. As time goes by, his authority cannot even be explained by science."

"Then what should we use?" Mei asked seriously.

"Metaphysics or theology." Ryan spread his hands. Some Herrschers really couldn't be explained by science, such as Alicia.

Mei pondered for a moment, nodded, took off her glasses, and scanned the iris detector on the wall. As the hydraulic bolt was released, the heavy door slowly opened.

"By the way, where are you taking me?" Ryan asked with a frown.

Mei turned around and raised her long eyebrows.

"Don't you want to see the most precious trophy of the Fire Moth?"

The most precious trophy?

Ryan hesitated for a moment, his pupils shrank slightly, he already knew what was inside.

The body of the Herrscher and the core of authority!

Chapter 127: The Herrscher's Core!

Over the years, the Fire Moth has conquered the First, Second, and Third Herrschers, and their bodies and cores have been preserved deep underground.

Ryan didn't expect that the application was approved, he just understood what Mei had just meant.

The Herrscher Core is such a precious thing, so of course it should be kept in the safest place, so it is not wrong to build a solid fortress.

A steel corridor, several half-meter-thick explosion-proof doors, and cameras all around. This is deep inside the Fire Moth headquarters, the safest place in the world.

He followed Mei through one explosion-proof door after another and came to a hall. Both sides were lined with dormant combat robots. Next to the innermost door, there were several figures wrapped in heavy armor standing.

Fusion Warrior? Sent here to guard the gate so soon.

Ryan felt the breath of Honkai energy. Even though there were not many lower-level fusion warriors, he sent out a few people to guard it. It was obvious that this place was very important.

Mei took out the document, and the soldiers were confirming it using the wired phone on the wall, while Ryan watched coldly.

His strength is still unknown, but his actions are decisive. It is obvious that he is a veteran carefully selected by the Fire Moth, and his combat experience must be excellent.

"Dr. May, Dr. Ryan, you have thirty minutes to collect data. Please come in."

A soldier pressed his helmet, revealing his eyes, and then had his iris scanned.

puff.

There was a sound of pressure relief, and the door, which was several times thicker than a bank vault, slowly opened. Then guards stood on both sides like iron towers.

Mei led Ryan into a long and narrow corridor and asked calmly, "What do you think of these fusion warriors?"

"They are much weaker than me, but if there are enough of them, they can still pose a threat." Ryan had just observed them carefully, and it was not difficult for him to draw the conclusion: "After they stop being human, they can be used in many ways, just like a foundation has been laid, and you can build on it as you please."

"For example, that armor, even Sakura can't use it. If you can't control Honkai energy, the human body can't withstand the acceleration at all. And that large-caliber electromagnetic cannon, if I'm not mistaken, it should need Honkai energy as an energy source."

The combination of human evolution and technology is far more than just one plus one. This is equivalent to a mass-produced version of Ryan, of course, before gaining power.

Mei nodded slightly. The ability to control Honkai energy is the essential difference between living things. In a sense, they are no longer human.

Faster, stronger, with built-in recharge, and the convenience of another technology tree.

"So how many can you hit?" She couldn't help but feel curious.

"I haven't tried this new thing, and combat is not as simple as looking at the data on paper, but under normal circumstances..." Ryan thought for a moment and gave an answer: "A few dozen should be no problem."

tens of?

Mei's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that she had underestimated Ryan. This was the supreme masterpiece of human biology and engineering, but she did not refute it.

The individual differences among humans are so great that even lower-level fusion warriors can mutate or go crazy, and those who can fuse the factors of higher-level Honkai beasts are even rarer.

Fate is so unfair.

She silently opened the innermost door. The room was not big. Just like Mobius's laboratory, there were several glass jars with three corpses floating in them.

The body of the Herr.

He had seen the white-haired girl of the Herrscher of Thunder before. The other two were a man and a woman. The man looked like an elegant young man with short black hair, and his information could be found on the information terminal next to him.

"Domino, a third-year student at the Faculty of Arts at Jianbei University, disappeared in 94 and later became the First Herrscher, and was named the Herrscher of Reason..."

Ryan read it out quietly, followed by an introduction to his abilities and his "great achievements". More than a dozen towns were destroyed by him, and the Fire Moths used thousands of lives to pile him to death.

"The ultimate reaction of Honkai energy is 1500hw. As a test scout, it is not weak."

The previous civilization was not so lucky. Domino was not like Mr. Walter who liked to do sit-ups and joined the human camp. He said nothing and spread destruction in the calmest way.

"His ability to understand and construct consumes a lot of energy. The Fire Moth learned tactics from him and tried every means to exhaust the Herrscher's Honkai energy in order to cause a substantial blow." Mei walked over quietly.

"Haha, now the Herrscher will run away. No one can stop him except the Fusion Warriors. And fortunately, the Herrscher is a liberal arts student." Ryan shrugged and paused while sliding the screen. "Hey, is this guy Damian's brother?"

"Damian? Oh, you mean him." Mei thought of that inconspicuous colleague and said casually, "He has also joined the Fire Moth and is in charge of the special research of the Council. He reports directly to the Director-General."

This guy didn’t die in the sea?

Ryan was a little surprised, but after listening to Mei's words, he came to his senses: "So it was him who performed those fusion surgeries. I was wondering why a Sword of Punishment team suddenly appeared."

"I'm just copying Mobius's research report. Look at this." Mei didn't take it to heart and walked towards the second glass jar.

Ryan looked at the information again and felt that it was a coincidence, but due to the lack of evidence, he could not doubt anything, so he followed.

There is a little blonde girl in this glass jar. She looks to be in her early teens, but according to records, she is more destructive.

"Lin, the carrier is an orphan who appeared in a villa in the northern snowfield in 96. It is confirmed to be the Herrscher of the Void..."

Behind her were a bunch of towns that she had destroyed. Several of the Fire Moth's defense circles had been breached. If it weren't for Alicia, she would have already rushed into the densely populated areas of Shenzhou.

Compared with the First Herrscher, Fire Moth could only be said to have barely defeated her, and the Intelligence Department also obtained some clues.

"The Herrscher is full of hatred for humans, which is in stark contrast to the First Herrscher's indifference. According to subsequent investigations, it is speculated that this is caused by the experience of the Herrscher carrier."

Ryan flipped down and saw some pornographic and violent photos in a luxurious villa. His eyebrows subconsciously frowned.

“This villa...”

"In the information, it is called 'Paradise'. Do you want to watch the relevant video?" Mei asked expressionlessly.

"Forget it. I've always been aware of how low the bottom line of human beings is." Ryan waved his hand and seemed a little silent.

If he switched places with this girl, perhaps his position would change. It is because he enjoys the joy of being a human that he has the desire to live. If he becomes the girl in the photo, his fate can only be destruction.

The third Herrscher, Ryan, had come into contact with it himself, so he had no interest in watching it. He stared at Mei, who nodded slightly and walked to the cone-like cabinet on the other side. After entering the password, several small boxes popped out.

Three gems of different colors lay quietly inside. Mei glanced at the man beside her and caught a fleeting trace of desire.

"The Key of God Project has entered the trial production process. The Council has agreed to allow me to take it out for use. Please help me get it."

"Okay." The food was already in his mouth. Ryan put on gloves and immediately went to take it. After touching it, his eyebrows frowned unnaturally.

Without any change, it's really like a stone and cannot be analyzed.

Ryan pursed his lips and increased his strength, but still received no response.

It’s strange, why didn’t I see that strange picture and didn’t I have any dreams?

His heart sank and his brain started working rapidly.

First, I can only get one kind of authority.

Second, touching the ring will only work before the herr's demise.

Within ten seconds, he had analyzed all the conditions and clues one by one and felt that the second possibility was the most likely.

'The Herrscher core of the previous civilization cannot be transplanted, because after the Herrscher dies, the core will lose its activity and can only be used as a weapon. It is equivalent to the account being completely frozen, and of course it cannot be logged in from another location.'

"What?" Mei suddenly asked, her eyes full of anticipation.

"It's just a dead object. Making it into the Key of God is the best way to make use of it."

"Really?"

"What did I lie to you for?"

Mei's face suddenly darkened, and she looked a little disappointed. Although Ryan had never admitted it, she had guessed some clues.

It doesn't seem like a cover-up, but it's a pity that five major plans and 127 adjustments were all wasted.

"Ah, there really is no shortcut. The Fire Moth has also studied these things. There are some secrets that even I don't know. Some people inside have an extraordinary obsession with the Herrscher."

Those people inside are the believers, a bunch of lunatics and experts in committing suicide. I don’t know what they can come up with from researching these things.

"Keep an eye on those people, they are more troublesome than the surrenderists."
