I am the former civilized hero.

"It's still a long way to go. Strategy can only make the losses less severe and make the war easier. The key is still strength. At least let Honkai feel that we have an advantage, so as not to overturn the table."

Ryan smiled. All he did was to prevent the difficulty from rising suddenly and leave enough time for development, otherwise the next one would definitely be the Ruler of Constraint.

The longer the time goes, the higher his winning rate becomes. He is afraid that the collapse will directly overturn the table, so he is sure of the characteristics that He likes to target.

"Honkai is not a god. It has no self-awareness or emotions. Destruction is just a means, not an end. It will only adjust according to the current situation." Ryan stood up and paced in the center of the spacious office.

"Mei, have you noticed that the reason they were accepted by the Herrscher may not only be based on their combat capabilities?"

"I do have a question. Do you think this involves the goal of Honkai?" Mei stroked her chin. She had long felt that simple destruction made no sense.

"Yes, perhaps the fundamental purpose of Honkai is not to destroy civilization. Even if it is restricted by the development of civilization, if it wants to destroy humanity, it will not last until our time."

"But it could also be a game played by God?"

"It's possible, but it doesn't matter anymore. No matter what his purpose is, whether it's good or evil, we have come to this point now."

The automatic door opened and Ryan stood at the door, turning back and clenching his fists.

"We can only choose to cross Him!"

Mei stood there in a daze, wanting Ryan to make the topic clear. Understanding the nature of Honkai has always been her most important research.

After a moment, she turned her head and glanced at the thick stack of documents on the desk.

This bastard is taking the opportunity to be lazy again!

Chapter 279 Now I am the rule!

Ryan put his hands in his pockets and looked ahead indifferently. When he saw the beautiful clerk passing by, he stood at attention and saluted. He nodded slightly as a greeting, and then walked away with a longing look in his eyes.

Without going into too much detail, just looking at his appearance, he is much more handsome than Carius. If it weren't for his terrifying power and the influence of Aponia's commandments, it would be the limit for someone like him who hasn't even fully grown his hair to be a branch combat director.

But it doesn't matter now. He took office legally and legitimately, entirely out of "democracy". When the aftermath was smoothed out by May and no MPs defected, his position became more and more stable.

"But I don't want to sit in this position unless I have no other choice. It's not pleasant to be a thorn in the eyes."

Ryan walked faster and faster. Apart from the title, he really didn't want to take on the task of being the general manager.

The view of a person with high emotional intelligence is the way to explore. How can one be stuck in documents every day? A person with low emotional intelligence may have simple ideas:

Signing papers and attending meetings every day is so boring. Instead of wasting time on this, he might as well become Mebius' assistant. At least it would be fun to play with that woman.

'And I don't want to be too rational and decide the life and death of millions of people like a robot.'

Ryan sighed. He had originally planned to let Mei be the general manager, but changed his mind after what happened with Calis.

Mei couldn't use her strength to suppress the tens of thousands of employees of Fire Moth, let alone achieve the goal of 'provocation'. With herself around, she was indeed unqualified.

"Don't you want to kill me? I am now the banner of humanity's resistance to the collapse. Your murderous intent must be even stronger now. Killing me is equivalent to destroying human civilization. With this goal in mind, your plans will also change."

Ryan suddenly felt that he was great and had brought enough hatred to all mankind. It could be said that all the cities in the world combined were not as good as this underground fortress, so there was no need to go to great lengths to destroy it everywhere.

As for what Honkai wants to do, Ryan is not very clear. He only vaguely remembers that he wants to guide humans to embrace Honkai. As far as this result is concerned, the solidified plan seems to have begun to move forward.

In the past, all of humanity was disunited, but they were mortal enemies of Honkai. Now, isn’t there a group of people who have chosen to embrace it?

"So, you have gained a lot?" Ryan looked at the ceiling above his head, then smiled unhappily.

It doesn't matter what Honkai wants to do, he is a thorn in his side anyway, so Ryan has a selfish idea in this battle and no one tells anyone:

He was afraid that he was too much of a threat, so Honkai took a soft approach. After all, not everyone was obsessed with the concept of "humanity". Take the Stigmata Project for example. If there was really no hope, it seemed like becoming another kind of life form wouldn't be a bad idea?

I will be very embarrassed at that time. All humans can survive, but I will die. It is better to tie everyone to the chariot in advance.

Ding--

The elevator door opened and a white-haired young man stood at the elevator door. He was also stunned when he saw Ryan.

"Kevin, don't you want to salute?"

"Fuck you, who wants to salute you." Kevin rolled his eyes, then said with resentment: "Look at what you have done, you bastard, Mei has been with you longer than I have!"

Ryan was stunned by what he said. As a pure love warrior, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Ah, just think of this as revenge for me eating dog food in school."

"Get lost, who told you to eat dog food? And it's obvious that I'm the one who's envious of you now."

"What do I have to envy?"

You are so...

I have a beautiful flower and you have a garden, how can I not be envious?

Kevin was about to say something, but he didn't say it out loud because he found that these flowers all had thorns, and each one was more difficult to deal with than the other, so he seemed not so envious anymore.

Ryan looked at his old classmate's changing expression and suddenly felt guilty, as if he was some kind of black-hearted capitalist who made the girl screw in the factory every day and broke up a couple.

"How about...I give Mei a day off?"

"You still have some conscience, but forget it. Mei is getting closer and closer to her ideal and is in high spirits every day. I am happy for her. I cannot let everyone's interests be harmed because of my personal grudge."

"I plan to let everyone in the Fire Moth learn this awareness." Ryan immediately gave a thumbs up. Kevin's life was not one of bitterness and hatred, but some things would never change.

"Go away, stop flattering me, Ryan." Kevin stepped into the elevator, slightly tilted his head, revealing only a serious face. "Your appearance this time gives me some hope. I hope there will be a good result in the end."

Ding.

Before he could answer, the elevator door closed, leaving Ryan standing in front of the door for a long time without saying a word, before he shrugged.

This Paramecium has also grown up and can actually see the essence of the whole incident.

Regardless of Ryan's little tricks, the reason for him doing this is only one thing:

Create the best platform to fight against the collapse. If we can't win, then the extinction of humanity is reasonable.

Well, it all depends on human effort.

Ryan didn't think too much about it. He had plenty of backup plans anyway. If nothing worked, he would just endure the collapse for another 50,000 years. After moving forward for tens of thousands of years, he would either die or become a star god.

He continued to walk deeper into the corridor. The corridor was empty and he could occasionally see a few of Mei's assistants. Due to the combat effectiveness, the administrative district no longer needed to be heavily guarded. If anyone could kill Ryan, it would be useless to arrange more manpower.

Such silence actually made Ryan feel comfortable. As an old pervert, he didn't like being stared at all the time, and he didn't like being surrounded by people.

As he walked around the corner, he paused and bumped into Sakura head-on.

The girl hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should salute. Fortunately, Ryan solved the problem for her.

"Okay, the general manager is for external affairs, and the relationship between us has not changed."

"Like a little group?"

"Well, I can't deal with Honkai alone, just like this time without you, there is no plan to talk about."

Ryan was not being modest, he was just speaking the truth. He was strong, but not strong enough to crush everything, whether it was Kevin who blocked the Herrscher, or Sakura who fought her way into the parliament, and of course Aponia who launched the decisive attack.

It took the combined strength of everyone to push him to this position.

"Then I'm relieved." Ying showed a gentle smile, and then asked in confusion: "But the general manager must be very busy, why are you wandering around?"

Ryan's eyes twitched, and he waved his hand pretending to be relaxed: "Who said he was busy? The so-called general manager is just a mascot, and he doesn't have to do anything himself."

Ying didn't quite understand, but was shocked: "So that's the case, no wonder everyone wants to be the general manager, with so much power and no need to do anything."

"Power? Do I look like someone who is corrupted by power?"

"Alicia said that's not necessarily true. Many bigwigs will assign themselves female secretaries once they take office."

"How dare that pink-haired fat woman slander me!"

Both of them laughed quietly as they walked side by side in the empty and spacious corridor. Sakura was of course joking. If this man was obsessed with power, he would have reached the pinnacle of humanity long ago. Why would he care about a fire moth?

Power is like strength. As long as it is useful, he will hold it tightly in his hands.

Along the way, Ryan asked a few questions and found out that many fusion warriors had been sent to various places to take over. The branches were frequently transferred and reorganized, and the reconstruction of New York also began under the leadership of Vilvi.

This time, not only the underground but also the ground will be turned into a super fortress, and Ryan's demolition activities are of great help.

"Mei wanted to use this place as the last bastion. The cities she voluntarily gave up also avoided being destroyed."

"Well, if there's no one there, Honkai Beast won't be interested in those cities. If they defeat Honkai in the future, they won't bother to rebuild them."

"That depends on the destructive power of the Herrscher of the End." Ryan muttered, then asked, "What about Alicia and Mobius? They won't be idle these days, will they?"

"No, they are busy. Dr. Mobius has restarted the research department and is now dissecting the corpse of the poisonous pupa to find out why these people are in cahoots with the Herrscher." Ying answered calmly, which was really reliable.

"Ellie locked herself in the room and said she had an idea and was ready to come up with a good suggestion."

Ai Lishia's inspiration?

Ryan immediately felt something was wrong. This goblin had created the Thirteen Fire-Chasing Heroes in the original world line. Now he has obviously more room to play, and only God knows what he will come up with.

She seems to have a special liking for things like hero teams.

"Let her be. Alicia must be in a good mood recently."

"why?"

"After all, she loves humans deeply. She was the most painful in the previous state of being neither friend nor foe."

Ryan quickened his pace, and Sakura looked at his back and nodded thoughtfully.

"Ryan, I'd like to take the bell sometime."

"Sure, if the time is right I'll go with you. I promised last time."

Hey.

Ying stopped suddenly and looked at Ryan in disbelief. She thought Ryan would be very busy as the general manager. Well, even if he had nothing to do, he wouldn't run around everywhere.

Then she realized that Ryan was not trying to comfort herself by saying it would be the same as before.

"I am a person who will not stand still. I hate standing still. If I have to build a cage for myself for the sake of humanity, I will not even consider taking on this responsibility."

Ryan also turned around and explained calmly that what he said was not as glorious as advertised, but it was true.

"But is it really okay for you to be so lazy?" Ying still had doubts in her eyes, and whispered: "Don't force yourself, this is too against the rules."

"Who said I was lazy? This is called fire reconnaissance or leading the charge. As for the rules?" Ryan glanced at the silent corridor.

The sight of steel is a bit monotonous, but the murals on the walls are all treasures, "borrowed" by the Fire Moth from major museums on the grounds of preserving human cultural heritage.

No matter who they belonged to before, in the future -

"Sakura, now I am the rule."
