I am the former civilized hero.

woo-

A pale contrail flew straight towards them, and with a dull 'bang', the white-haired masked man fell heavily to the ground. He raised his head slightly, and looked at Kevin with eyes full of fighting spirit.

"How is it?" Kevin got a headache when he saw this man. They were fighting just now, but he intervened forcefully and ended up making things worse.

"Humph, he ran away. You're really smart."

"The two Herrschers can cooperate with each other, and they have no concept of harming friendly forces. If they want to run, no one can stop them."

"Go away. I don't need you to comfort me. If I hadn't died at the hands of that guy, I would have definitely fought with you."

???

Kevin's mind was full of question marks, wondering how he had offended this Qianjie. Just when he didn't know how to respond, several trails fell from the sky.

Alicia, Hua and Himiko are all here. Except for Alicia who looks no different from usual, the two people from the Far East Branch look very embarrassed, especially Hua, who has a blank expression on his face and keeps muttering something.

"What's wrong with her?" Kevin asked in a low voice.

"I chased them too hard and was hit by the power of the Herrscher of Death. Fortunately, I escaped quickly, otherwise I would have become an old woman. I am blaming myself now." Alicia blinked, smiled, and stretched. "Oh my, the Herrschers are so powerful nowadays. The five of us can't stop them."

Five? It's clearly three and a half. That Qianjie is here to cause trouble, always blocking my shooting range. Himiko has only fused the gene of the Honkai Emperor, so I have to divide my energy to protect her.

Kevin complained in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Thanks to the suspicious higher-ups, they had never worked together. It would be strange if they had any tacit understanding. On the other hand, the Herrscher was in perfect sync with each other and didn't even need words to communicate.

Another thing is that the Seventh Herrscher is too terrifying. He is so powerful that he is not even the same species as the previous Herrschers. Perhaps the first five Herrschers combined are no match for him.

"If our numbers weren't increasing, they wouldn't have left. That Herrscher of Fire hasn't even used his full strength yet." Kevin was worried, glancing at the boiling sea water. "In just such a short period of time, even the sea level has dropped. The Seventh Herrscher is definitely a serious threat."

"Then find an opportunity to deal with Him." Alicia waved her hand, looking very relaxed.

"It's not that simple. I guess the only one who can fight him is Ryan, or he can use numbers to crush him, or gather at least five high-level fusion warriors..."

“That’s because you’re too relaxed!” Qianjie suddenly interrupted, clenching his fists. “Strong enemies are exciting. If we have a chance, we can fight a few more times, temper each other, and then use more powerful forces to defeat Him, burn Him, and crush Him!!”

Kevin opened his mouth, looked at the man with a burning desire to fight, then quietly took a half step back. Mei told him not to get too close to a psychopath.

After thinking about it and feeling the pressure, he simply whispered, "There are also Herrs who work very well together. For example, the authority of the Law of Death is the natural enemy of living things, and we fight on our own."

"If there is no tacit understanding, then cultivate it. It's fine as long as you win. Why think so much?"

"The higher-ups won't trust us to..." Kevin got stuck in the middle of his sentence, and he suddenly remembered why he came here.

"Hehe, no one will hold us back from now on." Alicia looked at the distant continent and saw a black dot approaching rapidly, and she smiled smugly.

"I just happened to have a brilliant idea that I was ready to implement. By the way, did we forget someone?"

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly remembered that Mobius seemed to have come in the middle of the battle.

"What about her?"

"Perhaps she sneaked back after the Herrscher retreated. I didn't see her being attacked."

The few of them didn't talk anymore, they just raised their heads and watched the black spot approaching.

Faintly, I seemed to hear the roar of fate turning.

Chapter 277 Yes, His Excellency the Chief!

Ryan saw the frozen sea from afar, raised his eyebrows, and knew that he was still a step too late.

He had no regrets. The current Herrschers were each smarter than the last, and they were simply not the same species as the first three Herrschers. Looking at the dead fish covering the sea, he knew that there were more than just one Herrscher. By.

This life form that surpasses humans does not need language to communicate, and their powers are complementary. It would be strange if they could be killed in such an open terrain, unless Kevin explodes.

"But Kevin is living a comfortable life now, and is not as bitter and resentful as before. It is not easy for him to explode."

Ryan sighed, also without any regrets. His style has always been to use plans to kill the enemy and never expect someone to suddenly explode.

If it explodes, that’s the best. If it doesn’t, forget it.

thump.

The ice surface cracked slightly as he stepped on it, and he looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Herrscher did not stay, but no one was hurt, so it was not a loss.

"Ryan, tell me how Mei is doing!?"

Before Ryan could say hello, Kevin rushed over to him, his eyes full of worry.

"Hey, you're a guy who values ​​women over friends, why don't you ask me?"

Kevin looked Ryan up and down, and seeing that Ryan wasn't in too bad shape, he asked casually, "Okay, okay, how are you, how did the whole thing turn out?"

His attitude was so perfunctory that Ryan couldn't help but twitch his lips. He wondered whether he should scare this bastard, and then he saw Kevin's eyes.

Dare to tell lies, do you believe in the friendship punch?

"The plan was successful, Mei is safe, and she is now cleaning up the mess in the administrative district. There are still many things for her to do." Ryan told the truth decisively and summarized the results to several people.

The Fire Moth has changed, and Ryan has taken care of all those who were holding him back in one go. From now on, he no longer needs to worry about attacks from behind.

This man is really capable, but I hate people who are too smart, so he deserves to die.

Qianjie glanced sideways, not expecting Ryan to have done it, and his eyes looked a little strange.

I knew that my senior brother would succeed, but who is Aponiya?

Hua was feeling mixed emotions, and at the same time he felt that he was useless and couldn't even fight the simplest battle. His emotions were like a roller coaster, from excitement to depression.

Great, now my plan can be implemented!

Only Alicia was filled with joy, and had already made vows for everyone in her heart.

Kevin looked at Ryan dimly, making the latter feel creepy.

"What do you want to say? I can admire you, I can bow down to you, but I'm not gay."

"Get out of the way! I really want to thank your ancestors for eighteen generations. When have I ever offended you?" Kevin gritted his teeth, feeling both happy and depressed.

Now he no longer has to worry about Mei's safety, but the price is that this bastard increases Mei's workload, making it difficult to see her in the future.

Long-distance relationships are hard enough, can you please be a human being?

"Ahem, Lieutenant Kevin."

"What?" Kevin instinctively wanted to stand at attention when he heard the military rank, but when he suddenly realized what was going on, he frowned and stared at him.

The two have been roommates for several years and know each other's buttocks, so their orders are not binding at all.

"Can't you just be respectful to the new Director General?" Ryan couldn't help but spread his hands. He only needed the convenience brought by this identity and had no intention of changing his interpersonal relationships. "According to the authority granted by the Fire Council, I will promote you to the Director of Security of the Research Department. You can go to work."

Kevin blinked, not knowing why Ryan suddenly went crazy. Fortunately, Alicia whispered a few words in his ear, and he suddenly understood.

"As you command, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief!"

Yes, how could I have forgotten this? As the general manager, he can be corrupt and do things for personal gain. This is indeed a good thing.

"Get out of here." Ryan raised his foot to kick, but Kevin dodged it nimbly and quickly flew towards New York.

Hahaha.

Except for Qianjie, everyone laughed, filling the scorching sea with a happy atmosphere. Everyone relaxed completely. Just as Ryan said, it didn't matter if the Herrscher ran away. As long as they could fight against Honkai with all their heart, they would be able to catch him sooner or later.

"Don't forget the agreement between you and me." Qianjie was somewhat uncomfortable with this relaxed atmosphere and interrupted coldly.

"You decide the time. I'm always here for you." Ryan said seriously. Qianjie was not doing any harm. His appearance still intimidated the Herrscher.

You have to know that there are only two Herrschers coming, and those Honkai beasts and Pseudo-Herrschers are not here. Without the shock brought by Thousand Tribulations, the Herrschers will go all in, and one or two people are bound to die today.

Whether it is Kevin, Alicia, Hua or Himiko, Ryan does not want them to die, because he has only a few friends, while there are more than thirteen Herrschers. In comparison, friends are much more precious.

"Okay, I'll come find you." Qianjie turned sideways coolly and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"Brother, what agreement do you have with him? And this guy is so weird."

"Fight with all your strength and decide the winner."

"Ah? Is he a masochist?" Hua didn't understand. Ryan's strength was definitely the best on the human side. How could he be defeated?

"You can't use common sense to judge Qianjie. The stronger his will to fight, the stronger his combat effectiveness. No one can guarantee a sure win." Ryan patted Hua's head, but she dodged it nimbly, so he had to put his hand down awkwardly.

"The parliament's order should have been passed on. We can prepare to go back and receive it."

This was a great thing. Alicia and the others didn't want to go to war with their companions, so they all breathed a sigh of relief and were about to leave when they saw Ryan stopped on the ice cap.

"Senior brother?"

"You guys go first. I'm the new commander-in-chief, so I have to go on stage last."

"Hehe, it's ready. Hua, let's go first." Alicia blinked, pulled Hua into the sky, and then Himiko followed.

Ryan watched them fly away quietly, turned around, walked to the edge of the ice sheet, knelt on one knee, facing the sea.

"Hey, you really want me to invite you, right?"

puff.

A head suddenly popped out from the rippling sea surface, with wet green hair and a pretty face, but without much expression.

"Why are you coming to see me instead of attending the celebration?"

"I have a conscience, how could I abandon you?"

"Did you see it?"

"Well, you are the only one who can deal with the Herrscher of Death. After all, you are the authority of biology. Plus, so much time has passed, you can come up with a lot of tricks."

Ryan no longer regarded the Herrscher as illiterate. The power of death was low-key and silent, and by the time people could react, they had already been hit.

"She infiltrated her authority into the sea water. If it reaches the spiritual point, the creatures in this area will mutate rapidly. After I noticed it, I responded immediately." Mebius explained in a calm tone while soaking in the sea water.

"Your response is to concentrate all this power in yourself?" Ryan frowned and picked up Mebius without saying anything.

"Wait a moment!"

When the beauty emerged from the water, Ryan's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

He knew about Mebius' pride, which was why he refused to show up, and he was mentally prepared to face the most twisted and terrifying mutation in the world.

As a result, he saw that the lower half of Mebius's body had turned into a black fish tail, and the fine scales were reflecting the sunlight.

"What are you doing??"

"I prepared blocking drugs in advance. God knows how it turned out like this. You can laugh if you want to." Mebius tilted his head, his wet hair hanging down, covering his face and chest.
