I am the former civilized hero.

"Even if I tried my best to get them out of Dusk Street, they still encountered accidents like tsunamis." Aponya raised her head with a sad smile on her beautiful face. "Fate is so stubborn, but I still have hope. I think there will be hope if I struggle hard."

This is the biggest difference between the current Aponiya and the paradise in the past. She has not accepted her fate and still wants to struggle hard.

Ryan finally understood that it was not just Aponia who was struggling. All the Thirteen Heroes, the Fire Moths and even all of humanity were fighting with their lives, but the outcome would not change and it would still be the end.

"Your idea coincides with mine."

"You also want to defy fate?"

"It's not resistance. I have already changed my destiny, but I'm not satisfied yet." Ryan also smiled, but he was full of confidence.

Kevin, Mebius, Hua... The fate of many people has changed, but he is not arrogant. He uses modification rather than change, just like Aponia's repeated struggles. No matter how much he changes, the end is still unknown.

He estimated that if it really had to be described as a change of fate, at least Alicia had to be alive.

Under the autumn sun, the man's confident smile was so contagious that it made Abonya hold her breath for a moment, and then slowly lower her eyes.

"I am looking forward."

"Ha, I thought you were going to laugh at my naivety."

“If we don’t give it a try, no one knows what the outcome will be.” Aponiya also stood up, put his hands on his lower abdomen, and looked at the other person straight in the eye: “Qianjie is coming back, and I don’t object if you want to stay for lunch.”

"Aren't you going to ask about the specific content of the cooperation?"

"There's no need for that. There's little I can do. I can only watch your performance like a spectator, and the thread of fate will tie us together." Aponiya knelt down, twisted her slender waist and left the garden. She turned back only when she stepped onto the stairs.

"I forgot to mention one thing. I am also very satisfied with today's contact."

Ryan continued to stand there until Aponya's back disappeared, then he brushed away the fallen leaves above his head and smiled at himself.

He really has the demeanor of a charlatan, but with Qianjie and I still sensing a future of destruction...

Ryan took a deep breath. Even though Aponia's current abilities were still vague, what they represented left people wanting more.

......

In the valley, the sunlight is blocked by the trees, casting only mottled shadows. It looks lush and green, but when you touch its surface, it feels cool.

The trees are dead, not just the plants, there is no living thing in this valley anymore. All animals and insects are gone, and occasionally you can see a few blue crystal flowers in the ground.

This silence was heart-wrenching, at least for the visitor. A man wrapped in a black robe was trudging through the valley.

He didn't show a single bit of skin, and wore a thick steel helmet on his head, with his eyes completely blocked. This thing could isolate his vision and Honkai energy reaction, and he moved forward completely based on his intuition.

I couldn’t see anything, I couldn’t hear anything, I took steps numbly, and I didn’t know how long I had been walking.

Anyway, the forest ended and the ground became flat under my feet, and then it seemed like I was stepping onto a staircase, until a voice came into my mind.

Arrived.

He counted silently to the 50,000th second in his mind, finally stopped walking, and then he wiped his eyes, and his vision finally recovered.

He saw two twisted steel doors that seemed to have been broken open by violence. Some instruments were covered in dust, and there were beautiful blue crystals in the corners. He knew that this was a supernatural phenomenon that could only occur when a high concentration of Honkai energy condensed.

As the head was raised, more and more abandoned instruments appeared in the field of vision, and finally a petite figure was seen.

There was a girl sitting on a glass jar, swinging her white legs back and forth and humming an incomprehensible song, which seemed extremely out of place in the dead silence.

The visitor was only stunned for a moment, and even though he was wearing a heavy hood, he still bowed gracefully.

"Good evening, Your Excellency the Herrster of Death."

The man's tone was not disdainful because of his appearance, and he didn't even look at the other person twice.

The girl stopped swinging her legs, and her young face was incapable of producing a dignified look. She simply jumped off the glass jar and gently patted her dusty hands.

"You humans are such a hassle to do things. It's just a message, but you have to come here in person. It's like you have to give us a name."

"All communication methods are unreliable now, and this information is very important, so I have to come."

"It's an insignificant excuse. You must be expecting something." The girl immediately exposed the man and waved her hand nonchalantly, "Take off your hood."

"Yes." The man took off his hood as ordered and revealed his face.

The Herrscher took a closer look, frowned slightly, and soon revealed an extremely vicious smile.

"So it's you. I now understand why they spent so much money to send you to see me."

"Because I trust what I see with my own eyes more. I will only place a bet if I see the possibility of achieving my goal." The man's tone was still elegant and calm, and he took out a thick document from his arms.

"Here is all the intelligence, along with my analysis. After you read it, give me a chance to ask questions."

He is good at speaking, and at least he keeps a humble attitude, so no one can refuse this kindness.

The Herrscher took it and glanced at it. He didn't show any surprise. He just raised his head slowly and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"The authority of the Herrscher is something beyond science, like magic or a miracle." The man paused, licked his lips, and looked at the Herrscher who was still smiling at him, "Then my question is--"

"With your authority, can you resurrect the dead?"

"Oh, you are the one behind that research institute. I was wondering what's the point of making so many empty shells." The Herrscher of Death put away the documents, his eyes seemed a little cunning.

Has the Herrscher evolved to this level?

This emotion made the man's eyes widen slightly, and he realized his ignorance once again, which was very good for him.

"Yes, there is always something missing, so I wonder if the authority can do it."

"Regarding this question——"

The little blue-haired girl disappeared from his sight in an instant. The man quickly lowered his head and looked at the empty hole in his chest. A still beating heart was in her palm.

Her vision began to blur as her brain pondered the reasons why she did this.

The Herrscher, still smiling, squeezed hard, crushing the heart completely.

"Try it yourself and you'll know."

Chapter 231 Humans are always good at self-destruction

Click.

There was an unlocking sound, and the heavy automatic door opened to both sides, revealing a pair of clean white bare feet stepping on the floor.

This is a dim hall. The flickering lights illuminate figures of varying sizes. Some are like small hills, while others are just ordinary humans. The thick lead alloy seals the terrifying Honkai energy inside.

The Herrscher of Death raised his hand and dodged the burning bone wings that were extended to him, still with a smile on his face.

"Don't be anxious, Garuda. I can't let you burn this thing."

Orange flames ignited, and a monster with two horns on its head and a bird or beast skull appeared in the corner, instantly making the hall as bright as day.

It illuminated the other monsters, the two figures in the corner, and the gentleman on the back of the huge ice-blue beetle. If Ryan or May took a look at them, their scalps would tingle.

The reality is worse than they expected. The changes that started with the Herrscher of Wind have already taken shape. That kind of organization is constantly expanding, absorbing everything that can be used, like an artificial tit-for-tat.

This change even exceeds the 'evolution' of the Herrscher himself, because no matter how they learn, their core and goal will never deviate.

The Ruler of Death seemed to become much more lively, and she even threw the documents in her hand away with a smile.

"I admit that you are right. Humans are indeed better at self-destruction, and we just need to give them a push from behind."

The gentleman sat on the beetle's back and even used his authority to create a shiny chair. He took it and asked while studying:

"How did you respond to that human's request? Don't underestimate them. We are no wiser than them."

"It should be said that the original Herrscher had no such thing as 'intelligence'. He was just a humanoid Honkai beast, but now I can actually feel 'interest' in him and even want to explore what exists above us." The Herrscher of Death sat in the corner, stretched out his slender hand, and stroked the tender face of a gray-haired girl.

She was very gentle, as if she was caressing a treasure.

"Don't worry, I just killed him and let him live again. Human greed won't reveal anything wrong, but human curiosity is very interesting. I plan to give them a 'treasure' so that they can study it carefully."

"What treasure?"

"A piece of flesh and blood that contains my authority, they will definitely come up with something interesting." The Herrscher of Death chuckled, like a little girl seeing a doll.

"You learn very quickly, even faster than me." The Herrscher of Ice glanced at the two girls hugging each other and said calmly, "No matter how much we learn, our essence will never change."

"Of course, we won't get bogged down in boring thoughts like 'Who am I?' All destinies lead to the end."

"We are, after all, completely different creatures from humans."

This answer is a consensus, because the Herrscher has no "destiny" and can never be called a human being. Because of this -

"What's up with this pseudo-hermeneutic?"

Bing Lu raised his head, showing a human-like puzzlement. He was indeed puzzled, because the intelligence said it very clearly:

The first pseudo-herrscher did not die, and was suspected to have joined the human side and went to a place called "Dusk Street". Various signs indicate that he formed some kind of alliance with Ryan.

This is impossible. Even for Pseudo-Hermen, there is no option of "betrayal", because without feelings, there is no betrayal.

"It's incredible, and I even learned something."

The incredible itself is a kind of learning. The two Herrs looked at each other in silence, not knowing where to start. This did not make sense, but the reality was so certain.

Appearance can be imitated, as can authority, but there is one major difference between the Herrscher and the Fire Moths: They know a terrifying piece of intelligence and don't even need to read the subsequent analysis report.

"is it him?"

"It's possible, but according to their intelligence, he's still on the peninsula."

The intelligence is indeed useful. We can know what is happening outside just by staying in this valley, thus avoiding the possibility of being caught.

The Herrscher of Death raised his head slightly and showed a mocking smile: "Don't forget, he is full of tricks, and he also has the authority of the Herrscher of Wind. It is not difficult for him to move across tens of thousands of miles."

"That's true. Those humans don't know how terrible he is. They are too naive."

"They don't need to know, otherwise they will have strange thoughts." Death Law shook his head silently. This secret was too terrifying and might even shake their already weak beliefs.

Another silence. There is no definite answer to this question, and either result is troublesome.

If it is possible that the Pseudo-Hermen still has the possibility of returning to the human side, then the whole plan can only be postponed and started over again; if this is Ryan, then this person must be planning some conspiracy, because according to reports, there is another powerful non-fusion warrior on Dusk Street.

"The conditions for the Seventh Herrscher to descend have been met. It will be very troublesome if an accident happens at this time." Bing Lu seemed more mature and prudent. He preferred to fight each other separately.

No matter what Ryan's conspiracy is, he only needs to use those humans as a cover, hide well, and wait for the arrival of his kind.

The end is just a concept. If he can gather five or six Herrschers and bring dozens of upper-level Honkai beasts, Pseudo-Herrschers and human traitors to fight together, then the day the war begins will be the end.

"But if it's the first result, we're going in the wrong direction." Death Rule shook his head again and glanced at the men and women in the hall: "The Pseudo-Rhetoricians are human creations after all. If there's a possibility of rebellion, we will lose."

Judging from the situation, Honkai's power is weaker now, and it only has the two advantages of 'unity' and 'concentration', so the appearance of Adam is very fatal, and even the two true Herrschers can't understand the reason.

"Then let's deal with it simply. Let those humans find out the truth at all costs. If he is really the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite, find a way to bring him back and find out what made him stand on the side of humans."
