I am the former civilized hero.

The underwater city was shaking, and a powerful Houkai energy traveled through the deep sea, delivering a clear message to the front line.

Your hero has returned!

Chapter 6: Cocoon of the End (K)

Back, that person is back.

Hundreds of kilometers away, the warship was drifting with the current like a ghost ship. There was no need for any earth-shattering sound. A silent breath was already echoing between the sea and the sky.

The Herrscher of Constraint, who was slowly pressing forward, slowed down his pace, looking through the edge of the field, over the retreating warriors, to the end of the horizon.

The face that had been expressionless from beginning to end changed color slightly, and the invisible energy mixed with the breath of the sea seemed to cut her.

There was no scent of his kind. That person ate two Herrschers and returned alone? !

How terrifying it was, but it immediately turned into cold rationality. I keenly discovered that this aura was not concealed, and it felt like bluffing no matter how I looked at it.

Is he trying to scare me? Otherwise he could sneak up on me and deliver a fatal blow.

The Constraint Lawyer did not regret her hesitation. She knew her limit and was not sure if she could rush into the attack range in one go. Clear logic told her another conclusion:

Now that he has returned, there is no point in moving forward except to increase the risk of his own death.

The raised right leg finally fell down, but it stayed in place. Kevin immediately noticed this abnormality and his attention was drawn to it, and he became ecstatic in an instant.

"Ryan is back!"

"What? The Commander-in-Chief is back?"

"Why did that bastard come back? I can kill this Herrscher."

"Really, he's back."

A single stone caused a thousand ripples. The people who were originally a little confused became ecstatic, as if they had suddenly found their backbone.

This battle was frustrating, with huge casualties but the enemy could not even get close to the Herrscher. They were getting closer and closer to the final line of defense. They had no tactics and could only bite the bullet and fight hard.

But in just a moment, even though no orders came from the rear, just an invisible announcement made everyone stand firm.

"Only when Ryan is gone do we realize how important he is." Ying felt relieved. She had known this conclusion a long time ago, just like she would always feel uneasy without the Seven Thunders of Purification.

So, are you ready to fight to the death, or run away with your tail between your legs?

The warriors threw the problem to the Herrscher. The sadness they had felt when they learned of the plan now turned into a feeling of gloating.

With the help of the leader, the chance of falling is greatly reduced, and the one who deserves to die is you!

The battlefield, which had been eerie just now, suddenly became quiet. The Herrscher stood a hundred kilometers away, and Kevin's task had become to hold down the eager Qianjie.

how to choose?

This question lasted for a few seconds, and then a roar like muffled thunder was heard, the sea surface in the distance broke open, and a group of Honkai beasts flew up.

Hundreds of Honkai beasts were squeezed into a giant sphere. The swaying heads and limbs looked like some kind of performance art, but it made the Herrscher's eyes twitch slightly.

The Authority of Rock, the Ninth Herrscher has fallen?

Before she could figure out whether this was an illusion, red energy covered the "meat ball" like liquid, and then slowly shrank it as if swallowing.

The power of blood! ?

There is no need to look any further. Even if the opponent is really weak, he will recover quickly under the influence of this authority. This human has finally broken free from the barriers that imprisoned himself and found a way to quickly replenish Honkai energy.

This method is a path opened up in a situation where death is inevitable.

"This bastard is trying to run away!" Qianjie immediately realized something was wrong and was about to rush forward when he was held tightly by Kevin and Su.

"Don't go. We can't stop you." Although Kevin was ecstatic, his mind was still calm.

Those who fight against the Law of Constraint are most afraid of the tactic of adding fuel to the fire. If they want to chase, they have to enter the field simultaneously. But now everyone is not together, so he dare not gamble at all.

Even if it only takes a few minutes for Ryan to come to support, it is enough time for several people to die, and the Herrscher can still run away.

"Why are you stopping me? If that bastard comes, he'll be dead."

"Stupid, if Ryan really wanted to kill Him, would he be so open and aboveboard?" Ying blocked Qianjie's way, causing him to calm down immediately.

He is not stupid. That bastard is very sinister. How could he show up with such fanfare? But since he was bluffing, why did that Herrisher Wa run away?

His face sank, knowing that Ryan had driven the Herrscher into a mental illness and that he could not be sure of anything at any time.

Damn, it’s so powerful.

Regardless of how unwilling Qianjie was to accept the defeat, Kevin was completely relaxed. He knew the entire battle plan, but he simply couldn't bring himself to carry it out.

How could he possibly solve the problem with his friends who he spent every day with without having experienced pain and regret?

"Luckily he is here, so I don't have to make a choice." Kevin breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt weird. Why was he similar to Hua and needed that guy to shelter him from the wind and rain?

“You don’t have to make a choice.”

The voice interrupted his thoughts. Kevin turned his head subconsciously, with obvious surprise in his eyes.

"Ryan, you're finally back."

"Well, you almost turned evil, it was worth my risk." Ryan appeared from the air, as if his figure was outlined by a paintbrush.

He was not weak. Just as the Ruler of Constraint thought, the power of blood played a big role, which finally allowed Ryan to continue fighting.

For a long time, he was neither a Herrscher nor a fusion warrior, and his energy replenishment was very limited. But now he can swallow Honkai beasts and absorb a large amount of Honkai energy from the air, and even achieve a qualitative leap from quantitative change.

The energy is replenishing and the upper limit is slowly increasing. Killing is finally no longer a meaningless thing. In the past, if Ryan wanted to gain something, he had to get a Judgment-level or above Honkai beast. Even those traitors were useless.

But how can I put it? These things are too limited, so this authority is particularly important to him.

"It seems like you gained a lot from your trip to the Quantum Sea?" Kevin understood immediately, without any jealousy, because every bit of Ryan's improvement was earned at the cost of his life.

Ryan looked into the distance and saw that the Herrscher had already run away, leaving only the warship full of dead people drifting with the waves.

"I made up for a shortcoming and got an opportunity."

"Ah? What chance?"

Ryan retracted his gaze, glanced at the savior lightly, and his body "dissolved" into the air again.

"An opportunity to transcend the end."

When these words were spoken, not only Kevin, but also Ying and the others were all stunned. Even though the situation was good now, the most painful thing was that they would never see the dawn of an end.

This war seems endless. Every time a new Herrscher appears, it is like walking on a tightrope. They dare not relax for even a moment, because if they take a wrong step, they will fall into the bottomless abyss.

Therefore, neither May nor Ryan ever said "beyond the end", and it is also an issue that everyone is reluctant to discuss.

"Finally a chance to put this to rest?"

"This Ryan, he didn't even make his words clear."

"No, I have to talk to Mei."

There were many voices talking at once, but no matter whether they were condemning or doubting, everyone felt relaxed.

A relief.

There was no need for explanation. Ryan went straight back to Haiyuan City. He came back from the Quantum Sea and then went out to show his face. Then he went deep into the ten thousand meter deep trench without stopping. He was exhausted along the way.

Fortunately, I returned to Earth and that familiar feeling came back. The world on the imaginary number side is still more comfortable.

Needless to say, during this trip to the Quantum Sea, I obtained the Authority of Rock. It is gravity control within the scope of "science", and in comparison, it focuses more on offense and defense. But in fact, it is not essentially different from wind, thunder, fire, and ice, and it represents some basic rules of this universe.

Even in the fantasy world, this is basically "magic". The only difference is how much energy is invested and how much damage is caused.

The authority of blood is different. It is slightly similar to domination and is a phenomenon that is difficult to explain scientifically. However, after obtaining it, Ryan did a preliminary analysis and found that his previous ideas were somewhat wrong.

Rather than swallowing or decomposing, the word "affinity" is more appropriate. It is the subtle control of Honkai energy, adjusting the energy to a unified frequency band, which provides the basis for control.

But the authority of affinity sounds too ugly, the authority of blood sounds more impressive.

'The latter is a stronger improvement. My destructive power is already sufficient. Only this authority can bring about a fundamental improvement.'

Ryan pursed his lips. A huge difference between him and the End is the total amount of Honkai energy. This thing cannot be obtained through enlightenment. But Fate is not interested in miscellaneous soldiers, and the Herrscher is not a cabbage. He can't expect Honkai to keep delivering meat to his door.

With this, I will have the possibility of achieving qualitative change from quantitative change, and in my hands, it will not only make me friendly to Honkai energy.

He recalled the feeling in the quantum sea. This authority was like a tentacle absorbing the energy there. Unfortunately...

"That Suo has received a warning. After knowing that I can understand His rules, he will definitely regard me as a thorn in his side."

Ryan felt a little regretful, but not too regretful. He had spent more than 20 years blazing a trail on the imaginary number side and had no time to understand another set of rules. Besides, the situation was urgent enough now and there was no need to make enemies everywhere.

Let Vita handle this matter on her own. At least in the short term, the hatred won’t be directed at me.

He was not afraid of that Suo. According to Vita, this farming player did not dare to approach the Earth of the Original World. Moreover, there was another piece of evidence that he did not show up after 50,000 years, so he must be worried about something.

The cocoon of the end?

Ryan looked up slightly and guessed what Suo was afraid of. He then saw Mebius and Mei walking quietly. It was obvious that the latter had received the news.

His eyes were burning. Any nonsense at this time would attract hatred. Ryan did not keep the person in suspense and just took out an exquisite golden cube.

"What is this? It looks like it's different from our data interface."

"Information about another civilization, outside of the Moonlight Throne system..." Ryan placed the cube in Mei's palm, his tone full of anticipation.

"Our vital path to the end."

Counting from the first Herrscher disaster in Britain, this never-ending war has been going on for nearly ten years. Even if we start counting from the third Herrscher in the sea, it has been three and a half years.

At this moment, they are the eleventh Ruler. The war is still far away and Honkai is constantly playing new tricks. But for Ryan and Mei, who stand at the top of humanity, a certain feeling is becoming more and more obvious.

The collapse is almost at its end, progress is gradually getting out of control, and the taste of the so-called "end" is becoming more and more obvious.

It is impossible for that person to seek for trouble, especially after Ryan got the power of blood, the room for maneuver has become very small. In the final analysis, the initiative of "time" has begun to change.

Originally, the initiative was firmly in the hands of Honkai. Even if a Herrscher destroyed two cities, or came to exchange for a high-level fusion warrior, if one year didn't work, then ten years would do, and if ten years didn't work, then a hundred years would do, and humanity would be consumed anyway.

But now the initiative has begun to change. Ryan can eat meat calmly, achieve qualitative change through quantitative change, and finally expand into an existence comparable to the end.

"In a sense, you shouldn't have this authority." Mei stared at the other party faintly. According to her idea, all the Herrschers should be conquered by Ryan. This might be slow and many people would die, but even if only a few humans were left, it would still make him swell.

"I have to take it. You don't think that this is all the Ruler of Constraint is capable of. Without this authority, even if I am here, the Fire Moths will have to use at least 70% of their combat power. What will we do next time?"

Mei took a deep breath. She knew that accidents often happened with Herrschers. The reason why they showed their current combat power was because the combination of the tenth and eleventh Herrschers was more than enough.

"I shouldn't have agreed to your creation of the Golden Courtyard."

"It has already happened. There is no point in regretting it. Besides, you should know why I am fighting."
