I am the former civilized hero.

The expression on Aponya's face froze. She didn't know what the relationship between becoming a fusion warrior and these two abilities was, but she was convinced.

It was because she was convinced that she seemed hesitant.

"This will make me even more miserable. What others envy is actually a vicious curse to me."

"I know, but haven't you decided to resist? Please believe me, this curse will become a blessing." Ryan nodded slightly. He certainly knew that these two abilities made Aponia a great tragedy.

The commandments saved no one, and foreknowledge brought only despair.

"Yes, I have made a decision, so -" Aponya put her hand to her lips, her beautiful face looking very seductive, "I hope you will be responsible to the end, otherwise the despair will turn into hatred."

Why does it sound so guilty? It seems that Aponia is no simpler than Mebius.

Ryan was silent for a moment, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, but there was no way he could go back on his word now, as Abonya was irreplaceable in his plan.

"Of course, this is my request, and I should be responsible."

"Okay, then I will follow your arrangement." Aponya accepted the promise decisively and did not give any chance to regret. He glanced at the lights outside and felt a little curious.

"So what is the collapse you foresaw that makes you feel like you are facing a formidable enemy?"

Everyone, including Mei, is curious about this question, because with Ryan's participation, even if the collapse takes on organized characteristics, anyone with a little bit of addition and subtraction will know that humans still have the upper hand.

Just like these thousands of lights, there is darkness, but most places are still immersed in light.

Ryan was unwilling to explain, because he also saw the spreading optimism. At least in the original world line, Rome could not be so leisurely and could hear the melodious violin sound.

But I just know that, just like the Ruler of Constraints dealt a heavy blow to the world, I still haven't found a way to deal with Him.

"Like you, I can't show what I see and influence too many people."

"But the fate you see is not unchangeable, and that is our biggest difference."

"Yes, that's why I am so anxious and so unscrupulous. Fortunately, there are always some smart people who trust me." Ryan looked up into the distance. There was a bright moon hanging in the sky, the breeze rustled the leaves, and vague beautiful voices came from the opera house.

On a night like this, you should stroll along the Tiber River and enjoy the unique romance.

But Ryan's eyes were sharp, as if piercing through the thick night, and there was a vague feeling.

The Seventh Herrscher, is he here?

Ding--

He took out his cell phone and saw an anonymous message with only a short sentence on it.

[The Seventh Herr Speaker has arrived, and Himiya is safe. 】

How come he was identified as the Herrscher the moment he descended?

Ryan was confused at first, then he let out a long sigh and turned to look at Aponiya.

"Because I know that collapse is so terrible."

......

Southeast Asia, Indonesia.

The embers covered the ground, and looking down from the sky it looked like a rippling field of red stars, but if one paid a little more attention, one could see that this was not a natural wonder at all.

This is a city, a burned-out city, with red sparks covering the entire land and extending to the distant horizon.

At the edge, hundreds of tanks formed a charging formation, but the steel dissolved and everything fell silent.

But looking deeper inside, it doesn't look like a city, because it's hard to find any trace of civilization. All you can see is twisted and melted steel, and mushy concrete. Then a breeze blows, and these things disintegrate into slag.

Nothing was left, the wreckage of several giant robots was blown away by the wind. In the deathly silence, in the most "empty" center, long purple-red hair fluttered in the wind.

A woman with a good figure, wearing long boots and a shirt with ruffled sleeves, was half-crouching on the ground, with the huge sword in her hand stuck in the soil, as if she was feeling the afterglow of the heat. After a few seconds, her black pupils slowly opened.

"Nothingness. Absolute nothingness."

She raised her long legs, her high heels making a tapping sound as she passed the only human-shaped object in the central area, her eyeballs rolling slightly.

The charred body was barely recognizable as a tall and lanky man, still maintaining a charging posture.

This is what a fusion warrior is. Now that we meet him, he is just a slightly stronger ant.

There were finally some signs of the Herrscher's arrival, except that the warning time was too short. Like the Canghai incident, the Fire Moth mobilized the South Pacific branch for defense. Prior to this, a high-level fusion warrior nearby rushed over urgently.

Then the Herrscher did come, and his honesty was a little unbelievable, but what happened next was even more terrifying.

Facing the overwhelming missiles, shells, and lasers, as well as the nearby superior fusion warrior Light Sadro River, there were two full Sword of Punishment teams.

In the plan, this kind of force is not only meant to fight against him, but at least it can entangle the Herrscher and wait for the main force to arrive to encircle and suppress him.

But one knife, just one knife.

They were reduced to ashes along with hundreds of thousands of people in the city. Not only were there no corpses, but not even a single building was left behind. It was as if they had been wiped out.

The woman raised her hand and gently touched the charred sculpture. The breeze blew and it crumbled into ash.

"You're too close, but—" She raised her head and looked at the pink stars flying in the sky.

"It's not just the ants. Never mind. There's no need to fight you. After all, she's calling me."

Boom! !

A mushroom cloud rose from the ground, and the remaining energy pushed away the dark clouds, blew out the remaining sparks, and caused the moonlight to tilt down.

Alicia stood in the pit, her face that always had a smile on her face turned serious at this moment, and she looked around.

"Mei, it seems that the Herrscher escaped."

After receiving the message, she rushed here straight from Neon, which didn't take her too much time, so her little face looked very confused.

"Didn't they say the fight just started? How did it become like this?"

The girl felt like she was in purgatory, everything around her was gray and her heart was beating madly.

"The fight just started, so it seems particularly terrifying."

On board the Raven No. 5, Mei Ru answered as if talking to herself. After finishing the parliamentary questioning, she volunteered to be the commander of this operation. Of course, the superiors were more than happy to do so and immediately approved it.

It took only a few hours from detection to the appearance of the Herrscher. She had no time to make any careful plans. She could only hope that the stationed fusion warriors could hold on, and then send Alicia and Kevin to attack.

"According to the previous rules, Kevin and Alicia should be able to deal with the Herrscher together." Mei bit her lip. She knew how strong Kevin was, and it would be no problem for him to fight the Herrscher alone.

With the addition of Alicia, even if two Herrschers are born at once, it would be enough to deal with them.

"Mei, he escaped?!" Kevin, with double guns on his waist, hurried to the bridge. He had just boarded the plane and was ready to parachute.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the garrison and the city here to be defeated in an instant." The girl took off her glasses and rubbed her swollen temples. "And this is not running away. It can fully demonstrate the organization and intelligence of the Herrscher."

She didn't know how strong the Seventh Herrscher was, but Alicia and Kevin would definitely have a chance to take him down if they worked together, so compared to their strength, the fact that they weren't given a chance was more terrifying.

Kevin missed the observation and was a little confused, when he suddenly saw the observation data on the main screen, his eyes twitched.

The collapse energy instantly ravaged dozens of square kilometers. The shock brought about by the instantaneous explosion was extremely severe, more severe than that of all the previous Herrschers combined.

The earth turned into purgatory, Sadro, the assistant, was killed on the spot, and the peak of Honkai energy——

"4500HW? This..."

"It suddenly increased several times, right? I predicted that the Seventh Herrscher would improve, but such a huge leap was beyond my expectation, and it's not just Honkai energy." Mei answered almost gritting her teeth.

This proves what Ryan said again: Collapse is far from reaching its ceiling, and we haven’t even seen this ceiling yet.

"If I remember correctly, Herrscher of Wind is only 2000 HW."

"So it is a huge improvement. Judging from the remaining traces, it is also a pure combat authority."

The remaining flames were enough to arouse people's imagination, but Mei did not fantasize for too long. She just glanced at the soldiers who were working in panic.

"Kevin, do you know what I'm thinking?"

"what?"

"Has Honkai changed its method of destroying the world again? Has it started another round of trial and error?"

this......

Kevin licked his dry lips, feeling that he was somewhat unable to answer, and felt a chill all over his body.

Trial and error. If this is true, the threat of collapse will rise to a new level, because humans are far from being invulnerable.

"plum."

"I'm fine. I also know what such a terrifying existence represents. If it is a little shameless, human civilization will end." Mei waved her hand. With this instantaneous destructive power, it is possible to destroy a city before the Fire Moth can react.

"No matter how powerful the Herrscher is, I have always considered him, but fortunately I chose to believe. Come on, Kevin, help me get the phone."

"Aren't you under close surveillance?"

"It doesn't matter. I have to admit that Ryan sees further than I do. There is no such thing as a safe approach or reform now."

The girl stared at the scorched earth, with a terrifying cruelty on her pretty face.

"Even the slightest loophole will not be allowed to exist. Anyone who dares to obstruct will be punished no matter what his purpose is."

“They must all be excluded!”

Chapter 253: Foreshadowing has already been laid

"Really? Sura City was destroyed in an instant, and Alicia couldn't catch up?"

It was late at night in the Western Hemisphere, and Ryan had already finished his third cup of coffee on the balcony.

Mei called on her own initiative. Even with multiple encryptions, it was still fraught with danger. Something serious must have happened to make this woman take the risk.

Then Ryan received the bad news, which made his head hurt.

Losing a high-level fusion warrior is nothing, after all, warriors are meant to be sacrificed, including the Thirteen Heroes. Ryan can't guarantee that anyone can live longer than the original world line.

"I had prepared Kevin and Alicia, but the battle started too suddenly and ended too quickly. After searching the surrounding area, I'm sure the Seventh Herrscher has left."

Mei's voice was level and even without any ups and downs. This kind of mental quality is unique.

The worst result is that they are not only strong but also very smart, if they are still like the previous Herrschers. No, the number of such stubborn Herrschers is even less now.

Ryan pinched his eyebrows. He had indeed encountered a problem, and he felt keenly that Honkai had to change his approach.

This is using a super Herrscher to exchange for a child.

Judging from the description, this seems to be the Herrscher of Fire, and in the original world line, the Herrscher of Fire was a watershed.

Before her, humans could still maintain the situation, and the Herrschers were mostly at the city-breaking level. After her, at least in terms of pure destructive power, the Herrschers rose to the continental level of destructive power.
