I am the former civilized hero.

Boom boom boom...

His punches were like flying meteors, and he threw out hundreds of punches in one second, breaking cracks all over the solid body of the Honkai beast. Then he jumped up and did a beautiful roundhouse kick, twisting the centaur's neck 180 degrees behind its back.

"roll!!"

The roar formed a sound wave that blew away the figure emerging from the darkness. The soldier who was covering behind had just raised his gun when Qianjie rushed up again.

Iron elbows shot into the head, whip kicks broke the waist, and these rebellious fusion warriors were torn into pieces like rag dolls, and then turned into charred corpses falling into the distance.

"I just don't want to argue with you!!"

Qianjie took a breath and would never admit that he was held back by anything. His eyes under the mask were fixed only on the distance, where a pseudo-herrscher was constantly sending these garbage over.

He held it in until his limit, then let it all out. The thrill of killing made Qianjie forget his fatigue, and he kicked his feet hard.

Kill, kill you first.

boom--

The violent wind mixed with mud and dust roared over, and the fusion warriors who followed closely had to run away in panic.

"Don't get too close. Be careful not to get hurt by mistake. Irmer, take the third team and follow up to cover the flank. Don't let the captain get surrounded."

Liu Dezina, with white hair and red eyes, looked exhausted. She kept giving orders through the team's internal communication. Her little mouth was slightly open, giving a feeling of being tired and unloved.

She actually didn't participate much in the battle, only because Qianjie, whom she was supposed to assist, was too weird.

Since the division, she had shamelessly tried to communicate with Qianjie, but was only told 'get out' twice. One time, she was told 'woman, get out', which made her feel really wronged. She secretly cried in her bed several times.

There was no other way. She was the one who arranged all the government affairs and logistics, and she tried her best to gain recognition. However, when she stepped onto the battlefield, she had to admit that Qianjie was a good captain.

He always charges ahead and seems unscrupulous, but if someone is really in danger, he will still rush over to rescue them. Of course, don't expect him to get a good look.

He is such a tough but reliable person, and he is also very passionate when fighting.

Liu Dezina stared closely at the meteor-like figure. She saw him tear off the head of the Honkai Beast. She also saw the people of the Annihilation Detachment rushing forward without any need for formation, just charging forward indiscriminately.

"Even though my abilities don't excel in combat, I'm still not qualified to be a high-ranking fusion warrior."

The girl smiled bitterly, and under the protection of a small team, she closed her eyes. The invisible mental power spread along with the Honkai energy, covering hundreds of square kilometers.

Not long ago, all detection equipment and team communications failed. Her ability is similar to that of a 'beacon', which is very suitable for this kind of reconnaissance mission. After sensing for a few seconds, her red eyes suddenly opened.

This feeling...

The Herrscher is here!

Above the sky, the aerial mothership Raven is sailing slowly.

Kevin held the table with his hands, staring blankly at a blurry electronic map. Just a few minutes ago, all communications were disconnected and no friendly forces could be found.

According to the technical department, the enemy had somehow concentrated a large amount of Honkai energy to cover the area, obstructing optical satellites and severely disrupting communication systems.

Not to mention the troops on the front line, even the communication with the headquarters was intermittent.

There was no expression on the white-haired young man's face. He just looked at the map again and again, as if he wanted to find out the details of the Herrscher.

Ding.

A cup was placed next to him, which touched Kevin's nerves. He turned his head and saw Alicia with a smile on her face.

"Kevin, you're not...you're nervous."

"To be exact, I'm very nervous. I feel like I'm going to throw up." Kevin smiled bitterly, picked up the cup and drank a sip of water to moisten his dry lips. "In the past, Mei and Ryan were responsible for these brain-intensive tasks. Now the lives of so many people are on my shoulders. I really can't breathe."

Because of Ryan's participation, Kevin joined the battle earlier in this world line, but because of his shelter, he was a bit like a "flower in a greenhouse".

Having not experienced too much pain and not left with irreparable scars, Kevin naturally did not grow very fast and did not experience much.

"This proves that they both trust you. Kevin, you can do it." Alicia raised her little fist to cheer him up, which finally made Kevin feel better.

"I understand how difficult it is to deal with Ryan. I'm stretched thin just to be in charge of one battlefield. I really want to open his head and see what's inside." Kevin glanced at the busy bridge. He had already issued several orders.

Send out fusion warriors to contact each unit and gather at the coastal outpost. At the same time, set up relay signal points to contact the headquarters at all costs.

Fortunately, there are only a few hundred fusion warriors participating in the battle. Not only are they experienced in combat, but they are also highly mobile. They are not as bloated and difficult to mobilize as ordinary armies.

"It will be withdrawn soon. I'm just worried..."

"Are you worried that this is the prelude to a large-scale counterattack?" Kevin took over the conversation, sliding his finger lightly on the electronic map to call up the combat power comparison of both sides.

On the side of the Fire Moth, there are eleven upper-level fusion warriors who can fight with all their strength, namely Ying, Su, Andevich, Kevin, Hua, Kosmo, Qianjie, Liudzina, Hen and the Anna sisters.

These people are the backbone, and with the 600 fusion warriors led by strong men such as Vinar and Himiko, they are a heavy military group no matter how you look at it.

On the Honkai side, the Ninth and Sixth Herrscher are not here now. There are only the Eighth and Tenth Herrschers and five or six Pseudo-Herrschers, as well as the traitors led by Calis. The number of Honkai beasts is large, but as long as they are not surrounded, the advantage in numbers cannot be brought into play.

"Among them, the Eighth Herrscher is not good at direct combat. The Tenth Herrscher is the real power, and we still have Ryan as our trump card."

"The situation is very good, what are you worried about?" Alicia blinked, somewhat confused.

"There are three points. First, when will the two Herrschers on the outside join the battle? They just fought with Mobius and others. Judging from the result, the Ninth Herrscher alone can offset nearly half of the advantage." Kevin was holding a glass of water, worried.

"Second, I don't know what's hidden in Rio, but this iron curtain must be covering something. Third, Qianjie has advanced too deep, and I'm afraid something might go wrong."

Kevin, who just said he wanted to vomit, spoke slowly and calmly, which made Alicia smile.

"I can't answer your concerns, but Kevin, I suddenly thought of something."

"What?"

"If Ryan is gone, you might really be able to take on the responsibility of 'saving the world'."

The young man who was drinking water was stunned, as if he had not expected that Alicia would have such a high opinion of him, and he thought subconsciously for a while.

Without Ryan, could I really be that flag?

He was not quite sure, but now that he had just a brief taste of it, he understood the weight of this flag. It required a heart of steel, and this steel needed to be tempered by pain.

In this world, being a salted fish is actually the easiest thing to do. Whoever wants to do these troublesome things can do them.

"Stop flattering me. I don't want to be abused."

"Kevin, you look like a salted fish."

"Have you ever seen a salted fish with all its hair scratched off? But I can promise you, if Ryan is really gone, I will take on this burden." The young man's eyes were firm, with the kind of obsession that would overturn all good wishes and move forward with the burden.

It seems I shouldn't talk about this kind of topic.

Just as Alicia was about to apologize, a hurried and childish voice sounded in her and Kevin's minds at the same time.

"The Herrscher appears, requesting reinforcements!"

......

call.

Ryan stood up suddenly, pacing back and forth in annoyance. His tablet computer was cracked because he was too excited just now.

The headquarters had lost contact with the front line, so of course he couldn't receive any messages. But just now, the communication was finally restored. Apparently Kevin reacted quickly and immediately set up a signal relay point to pass on the message.

There is no long speech or summary, just a few words can summarize everything:

The Tenth Herrscher Appears!

"The snake finally came out of its hole. It seems that the Ninth Herrscher recovered his combat power in just twelve hours. This is really scary."

Ryan knew that this was the work of the Ruler of Death. His authority indeed surpassed all biotechnology. You know, Coleman and others were still lying in the biological repair chamber.

"Prometheus has calculated that if the Herrscher runs at full speed, it can reach the battlefield in two hours. Is this preparing for a pincer attack?" Eden read out the following information.

"That's true in theory."

"What about the practical aspects?"

Ryan did not answer. He always felt that something was wrong. It was obviously Qianjie's rough stirring that caused a backlash, and the Herrscher of Blood was the first to find him.

The two sides fought a fierce battle, but the result was somewhat unexpected.

Qianjie was defeated. No one knew if it was because he was too reckless before and consumed too much physical strength, but he was defeated anyway. Liu Deqina led the [Aomine] team and risked their lives to bring him out, and then he was picked up by Ying who had been waiting for a long time halfway.

Then the Herrscher of Blood was not as violent as he seemed. He did not chase after him but retreated.

Ever since Kevin was defeated by the Seventh Herrscher, Ryan knew that the current Herrscher could not be viewed with the old perspective. However, he had fought against the Tenth Herrscher before, and apart from the fact that his power was a little strange, he should not have defeated Qianjie so quickly.

"He has become stronger again. He first fought Qianjie and then forced Ying to use the Third God Key. If Hua and Kosmo hadn't arrived, he might not have retreated."

"One against four, yet he's so powerful?"

"That's not the case. After all, Qianjie has been fighting for more than ten hours in a row. Even the strongest person can't stand it. Hua and Kosmo are still relatively weak in combat effectiveness. It should be much better if Kevin goes." Ryan analyzed objectively and was not scared.

The frenzy has already begun. Even without the Skynet map, Ryan can imagine from a few words:

Countless Honkai beasts jumped out from the pitch-black jungle, and there were enemies on all sides. The heat generated by the Honkai energy would ignite the earth, and collisions of various abilities and authorities occurred one after another.

But there is no need to rush. We have spent so many years and trained so many people. Isn't it time to use them now?

"Ryan, are you going to attack?" Eden asked worriedly. In her eyes, this was the real battle, and the previous landing was just an appetizer.

Countless conspiracies and intrigues were intertwined, and the amount of information was enough to burst a person's brain. The singer suddenly felt that she was not good at this aspect.

"Wei Weiwei hasn't sent any news yet, let's wait a little longer." Ryan waved his hand, very calmly, "With Kevin and the others here, this little wave is still within our capabilities. With so many strong people gathered together, the Herrscher can't handle it."

"But what about the Ninth Herrscher? Aren't you worried that he might self-destruct? If it's a black hole, no one can withstand it." Eden spoke faster. She happened to 'eavesdrop' on Ryan and May's discussion.

"Kevin will be on guard. Don't forget that the Herrscher is a rational machine that will calculate every effort and gain." Ryan remained unmoved, even though he knew that this would greatly increase the difficulty of the battle.

"The front line must be together, but not too close. If I were a Herrscher, I would definitely not hesitate if I had the chance to take everyone away in one go. But if I could only take two or three away, it would seem a bit of a loss. After all, whether it's Kevin or Alicia, their individual value is not enough for the Ninth Herrscher to risk annihilation in exchange."

Even if he took away Kevin or Alicia, plus two or three higher-level fusion warriors, it would not affect the overall situation at all, and he could still turn the tables.

"As long as I'm here, all Herrschers, Honkai beasts, and traitors will become food on the table. With this power added up, even if the Honkai wants to go all out, the chances of winning will drop rapidly."

Ryan actually couldn't do it. The "exploration" that the Judgment-level Honkai Beast could provide was very limited, but the Herrscher didn't know that. The ability he displayed was too much like devouring.

Eden thought for a moment and understood. The Ninth Herrscher would either take Kevin and the others away in one go, completely changing the balance of strength, or take Ryan away. Otherwise, it would be meaningless even if he eliminated several upper-level fusion warriors.

Ryan will destroy all the destruction in the world. Before knowing whether his ability is devouring or fusion, he obviously will not take risks, because in this way, the expanded Ryan will be too terrifying, and perhaps only the Herrscher of the End can suppress him.

So why not bring the end now?

Eden didn't know the answer to this question, and even Ryan didn't know either. It seemed that some conditions were missing. But just as Ryan was afraid that destroying the enemy too quickly would lead to a big move, the Herrscher was also afraid that he would expand too quickly. If Qianjie hadn't been so unscrupulous, this decisive battle would never have happened.

At least in terms of success rate, the most troublesome thing is for the Herrscher to fight guerrilla warfare alone. It is like a slowly tightening noose, suffocating humans. This is the most efficient destruction plan, but it has not been used many times so far, or once it is used, humans will divert the blame.

So since when did the Ruler, who only knew how to destroy wantonly, turn into the scheming Master of Balance and actually start a battle of wits with humans?

This question made Eden think for a few seconds. As the last person to join the war, she had only known about this catastrophe from the data. But after looking at the restrained Herrscher and the methodical Fire Moth, she secretly glanced at the steady man, whose gray eyes were bright like stars in the night.
