I am the former civilized hero.

This is the meaning of my existence, this is the happiness that belongs to me alone.

She had a sense of pride that a singer was born for the audience. She was very happy that even now, there were so many people listening to her singing. She was also very grateful to Ryan for giving her another stage to shine.

"Parting is always helpless. Over the years, I have felt the same way." Eden held the microphone and paced under the gaze. She had a great stage presence, revealing an indescribable elegance.

"But separation is only a prelude to reunion. I said goodbye to some people forever, but became close friends with many more. Just like at this moment, a strong sense of happiness still surrounds me."

“So the next song I will sing for all my friends, and the inspiration for this song comes from my best friend, Alicia, who helps people find their true selves.”

Eden suddenly raised his hand towards the confused Alicia, who had no idea what was going on. She felt the attention on her and her face felt slightly hot.

"Eden, we should play a loop of classic songs afterwards."

"This is Ryan's return gift to me. Are you still embarrassed?"

There were friendly laughs all around, but Alicia mustered up her courage and tried to hold her head high.

"Okay, let me hear what you see in me."

"Then stay tuned." Eden took a deep breath and glanced at Ryan in the distance, who was smiling and nodding at her, and then she adjusted her state to the best.

“A song for you, TruE.”

It's here, it's finally here.

Ryan's eyes widened as well. This was the fifth purpose that Sakura had not expected. He had been waiting for this moment since he started working with Eden.

Even though the world line was changed by him personally, the melancholy of a certain short film and the stories of some heroes still linger in his mind.

No one knows what the ending will be, but his determination cannot be changed. This is the promise he made to Alicia, and this is the promise he made to the world.

Therefore, it is time to cut off this sorrow once and for all, and it is so appropriate that this horn comes from Eden, who is also a hero.

The background music sounded, Eden opened his mouth, and uttered the first accent with perfect voice.

[When the flowers and leaves whisper, please call my name. ]

【This is the beginning of the story that drifts in time. 】

[This is the beginning, this is the end. ]

......

Alicia's eyes gradually widened, like a pair of gems gradually glowing. Eden's gentle voice entered her ears, and an unprecedented shock struck her heart.

It really is a song written for me, and every word touches my heart.

At first she thought Eden was lying, but at this moment she felt an emotional resonance that made her scalp tingle slightly. She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at the fascinated audience.

The man was dressed in white, standing in the distance, nodding and smiling at her.

【Oh, how I long for a hug. 】

【The future that breaks out from the shadows of the past.】

[Like a torch and light, save your tears for that distant day! 】

[Let it flow through the dry and dead riverbed]

【Thus, the stranded boat was able to set sail! 】

Eden's voice suddenly became high-pitched, adding a bit of hope to the gentle description. Alicia stopped looking at Ryan, closed her eyes, and slightly opened her red lips. Although it was her first time hearing it, she could sing along almost perfectly.

A strong feeling of happiness surrounded her. Alicia held her hands to her chest as if praying for something, but she also understood that this song started with her and would not end with her.

[Oh, how I long to embrace the future that has broken through the shadows of the past.]

【Like a torch or a ray of light.】

[When the flowers die, all things will be reborn! ]

This is a song written for me, and also for Ryan, Sakura, everyone in the Golden Courtyard, the Fire Moth, and all the warriors on the front line and in the rear at this moment.

Tears and pain will never be forgotten. They will nourish the dry and dead earth and let the brilliant flowers of hope bloom everywhere.

Alicia took a deep breath. Even though she had never heard this before, she felt somehow in sync with Eden on the stage.

[The flying flowers linger, quietly waiting for the long farewell dance. ]

[Shake off all the dust of the past life——]

She placed her hands on her chest and raised her head. Her eyes seemed to see through the thick armor plates and into the clear sky. Suddenly, her thoughts became clear.

A certain energy fluctuation that was completely different from that of a fusion warrior emanated from her body, resonating with the Herrscher alarm that had just sounded in the headquarters' monitoring room, causing the staff to panic.

Two Herrscher energy alarms, one in the open sea and one underground, made everyone suspect that there was something wrong with the system because the surveillance camera sent two images.

At sea, the Ruler of Constraint swept across the sea, and the domain that suddenly became several times stronger completely disrupted the formation. The fleet that was arranged according to the original data did not have time to retreat, leaving only a dead silence.

Underground, pink light bloomed in front of the stage. A girl with pink hair like a waterfall, wearing a gorgeous long dress and winged bells, was like a flower girl. A lock of her long hair was held on the left and her veil was held on the right.

She seemed not to notice Eden's astonished look, nor did she feel the astonishment around her, nor Ryan's exclamation of "So that's it".

Alicia just raised her head, opened her mouth at the same time as Eden on the stage, and sang the last line in a beautiful voice:

[A new chapter is about to begin! ]

The sound echoed underground, even pausing the alarm. Alicia enjoyed the aftertaste. Then, she looked at Eden on the stage. There was no pain on his face, only complete relaxation.

"Ellie, the stage is yours now." Eden smiled softly and made a 'please' gesture.

With Eden's blessing, in Ryan's direct gaze, and in the astonished eyes of hundreds of fusion warriors, the gorgeous girl lifted her long skirt, crossed her legs, and knelt gracefully.

"The Ruler of Man, come and protect what I love most."

Chapter 6: The Ruler of Man (K)

This is not the most gorgeous stage, but every wooden board and every decoration in this venue were created by Alicia's favorite friends.

This must be the most far-reaching ball, gathering almost all the fusion warriors of the Fire Moth in the name of Eden, and broadcasting it live to most of the remaining humans.

Originally, this was an artistic feast. The audience would applaud Eden's singing and at least savor it for a few days. However, at the climax of the party, something unexpected happened, completely stealing the limelight from Eden.

Alicia, one of the most popular warriors of Fire Moth, her beauty, personality, qualifications, everything makes her a goddess. But because there are too many nice guy cards, no one dares to confess to her now.

Because no matter how outstanding a man is, he will feel that he is not worthy of this most beautiful flower, as if he would feel ashamed if he looked at it for one more second.

But at this moment, in Eden's unparalleled new song, she revealed her identity as the Herrscher.

How... is this possible!?

Everyone had the same thought in their heads. What Alicia showed had nothing to do with the Herrscher. Those demons who only knew how to destroy were not even as good as Alicia's smile.

The brain trembled instinctively. Not only ordinary people couldn't understand why this beautiful young lady suddenly changed her clothes, but people in the industry all had an unbelievable feeling, whether in New York or deep under the sea thousands of miles away.

"I see. I was wondering why Ryan had nothing better to do than to hold a concert. Fishing is just one of the reasons. This is the main point."

Mei sat back in her chair, looked directly at Alicia in the pink light, propped up her head, and smiled.

Eden's ability can calm people's hearts and prevent some people from attacking instinctively and causing chaos. This is also good for Alicia. Doesn't she love gorgeous balls the most? If she self-destructs in this situation, no matter what the outcome is, she will have no regrets.

Mebius, Kevin, Hua and Su were also looking at the big screen, each of them dumbfounded and speechless. They were mentally prepared, but they did not expect Alicia to reveal the truth at this point in time.

No, this has nothing to do with Alicia. It's Ryan's fault. Everyone knows that Ali is extremely emotional, and she probably couldn't hold it together under Eden's infectious singing.

"The timing is perfect. He calculated that the Ruler of Constraint would come. This secret will be exposed sooner or later. It would be better to let the fat woman expose it at the most appropriate time, and then dispel everyone's doubts with action." Mobius was the first to react, but he just bit his silver teeth lightly.

It took a lot of hard work to mobilize everyone to pave the way for Alicia. Why didn't you find inspiration from me!

"Are you jealous?"

"Humph, I didn't. I want to see how he ends up. He just pampers this fat woman too much."

She is indeed doted on to the extreme. It is a huge gamble with human civilization. If there is even a one in ten thousand chance that Alicia will defect, the Fire Moth will fall apart today.

“There are dangers, but the results are good.”

"Since you knew that, why did you let him do whatever he wanted?"

"You knew that, and you didn't object, did you?"

This rhetorical question completely silenced Mebius. Of course, she had guessed it, but she also believed in Alicia in her heart.

She and Mei were controlled by their emotions and seemed to feel embarrassed to speak out, so they had to continue looking at the screen and the bunch of stunned fusion warriors.

At this point in time, Alicia’s problem is important, but the Ruler of Constraint is more important. This is the highest realm of psychology.

"Kevin, go to the shuttle and rush to the battlefield. It would be best to put an end to this dance with the life of the Ruler of Constraint."

The plan worked.

Ryan listened to the alarm and heaved a sigh of relief after getting what he wanted. He had talked to Alicia a few days ago. In fact, the conflict between Ying and Jie was easy to handle. After all, they lived together day and night, and even Mei would choose to believe Alicia.

However, it is difficult to expand the scope to the entire Fire Moth. Too many people have a blood feud with the Herrscher and will have murderous intentions when they hear the name. This is not something he can accomplish by giving a few speeches or cheering people up. Letting Aponia take action will make things even more troublesome.

This commandment cannot be given at all, and it goes against Alicia's principles.

"Since I can't hide it, and this secret will be exposed sooner or later, I might as well not hide it and reveal it openly."

Alicia has always walked under the sun. This has been her lifelong wish. She would rather die than become a rat in the sewer. Besides, why would such a brilliant and beautiful girl hide her "true self"?

Then show your 'true self' with your own thoughts. The real owner of this stage is Alicia, who stands here with her stunning beauty, meeting the complicated looks of her former companions.

The echo of Eden was still there. For a moment, apart from the surprise, there was no shouting and killing. Only some fusion warriors turned their eyes to Ryan.

In this unbelievable situation, they could only wait for the order from the commander-in-chief. If they wanted to fight, they only needed to raise their fingers and they would rush forward to tear the Herrscher to pieces, even though she had been the goddess of everyone's dreams.

But Ryan did nothing. He just looked at Alicia with a smile on his face. Although the two of them were not affectionate, there was no hostility between them either.

The girl's eyes were filled with a kind of happy gratitude. At that time, Ryan told her not to think about anything and let him solve it. Now it seems that it was not just empty talk.

She was moved by Eden and completely revealed her true self. She suddenly became enlightened and prepared to face all the doubts in the world. But guess what happened?

The Ruler of Constraint is here!

"Hehe, you actually arranged everything for me quietly. I'm so touched that I want to cry." Alicia blinked, knowing that this was Ryan, and this was the stage provided for her by her friends.

There are some things that are useless to just say with words. You must gain trust through actions and show the real you to the people you love.

"You were supposed to perform, but I stole your limelight. I will make it up to you later."

Without waiting for a response, the girl spread her wings in the pink light, which made many people instinctively alert. The Honkai energy was displayed, but there was only a flash of light, and Alicia flew up and left the underground fortress directly.

"Commander-in-Chief, do you want to chase after them?" As he hurried over, he happened to see the pink beam of light rising from the ground.

"Who are we chasing? Our enemy is the Ruler of Constraint. Notify all teams to prepare for the attack." Ryan turned his head, his smile disappeared, and he could only look cold.
