I am the former civilized hero.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"That's right. I just feel like there are only two of us in this city." Alicia kicked the pebbles on the ground with her exquisite black leather shoes and stammered, "Do you think this is like a special date?"

Ryan was slightly startled, then he covered his face. With his IQ, there were not many people in the world who could confuse him, but Alicia was definitely one of them.

"Please be serious, we are in the middle of a battle now."

"I have been very serious. The Ruler of Constraint is still in the southeast direction and has not moved. I haven't delayed anything." Alicia said angrily. She simply quickened her pace and ran into the deserted park in front.

Ryan watched her run away and shook his head helplessly. This Alicia really didn't know what tension was. You thought that the Herrscher pursued her with tense muscles and fully armed, but she always turned it into a harmonious and friendly light comedy.

"I really admire you. This can be considered a skill."

Ryan followed behind into the park, which had been deserted for several months, with weeds and wild flowers growing everywhere. Seeing the girl swinging on the wooden swing, he did not feel angry or dissatisfied.

Alicia has another characteristic, that is, no matter how much she plays or makes trouble, she never makes mistakes in her work. In a sense, she is more reliable than Kevin. If she says the Herrscher didn't move, then he definitely didn't move.

"I apologize. I shouldn't have blamed you just now."

"Hehe, it's rare to see you begging for mercy, so I'll forgive you." Alicia squeezed her legs together and shook them even more. "It's just that I'm a little nervous to be alone with you."

Ryan smiled when he heard that, and walked over, feeling the pink hair brushing against his cheek: "This isn't our first date, there's no need to be nervous."

"Oh, it's different from before." Alicia didn't know how to describe it, so she explained in her true self: "Before, I only spent time on people I liked, but I liked everyone; I only spent time on interesting things, but everything was interesting. Even that time in Britain, I felt very calm."

Oh, that time I went to listen to Eden’s concert, it feels like it was a long time ago.

Ryan thought back to the past. He remembered that he and Alicia had taken wedding photos as models, which was badly remembered by Mebius. It was also the first time he met Eden.

"What's different now?"

"Now..." Alicia closed her eyes, her cheeks slightly red, "Now I will spend more time on the people I like more, and spend more time on more interesting things."

It sounded a bit like a tongue twister, which confused Ryan, but he soon understood and his pupils contracted slightly.

He looked at the girl as pretty as a flying flower with an expression of surprise.

One word difference, but a world of difference. How come this feeling of finally achieving something successful comes to mind?

Ryan was daydreaming, but Alicia didn't think too much about it. It was as if she just said something from the heart, which made it difficult to understand her attitude.

From his perspective, the scenery was great. The round, white hemisphere rose and fell with the gravity, as energetic as its owner. The skirt was spread out, revealing straight thighs, which made people purse their lips.

"Ryan, you must be thinking about something sad again." She said suddenly.

"I didn't, that's not right, be honest, are you observing my inner thoughts?" Ryan was alert and immediately felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, he saw Alicia stiffen for a moment, then stick out her tongue.

"Did I get it right?"

"I can't help it. I'm not familiar with authority yet. Besides, Ryan, you've lost your image a long time ago."

The first half of the sentence made Ryan nod slightly. Alicia was a new Herrscher, and it would take time for her to slowly master the control of authority, but the second half of the sentence was not right.

He leaned his head out slightly, touched her slightly curly pink hair, and smiled very kindly: "So, dear Miss Alicia, what is the image of me in your mind?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her long pink hair spread out, and the smooth touch lingered on her fingertips. Alicia jumped off the swing and landed lightly a few meters away. Then she leaned forward with her hands behind her back.

"Ryan, he's very mature and reliable most of the time, and he looks very handsome when he's responsible, but at heart, he's still a boy in adolescence."

These words made someone unable to recover for a short time. It was not until the girl turned and walked away that Ryan's blood pressure rose.

Isn't this just calling me a pervert?

"Don't run, wait for me!"

Hehehe, only idiots don’t run.

Instead, Alicia ran even faster and quickly escaped from the park. She was running on the desolate street with a curved brow. The empty street made her chuckle. Her eyes filled with joy looked north along the long vine-covered street, and her vision seemed to have changed again.

It was a pitch-black place, with ferocious Honkai beasts surging around. The figure kneeling on one knee raised his head, and his purple double pupils seemed to meet Alicia's gaze, which was filled with confusion, disgust and anger.

It seems that my laughter has been successfully conveyed to you, so what will you do?

Should I obey the call of my heart and become a cute girl like me, or should I resist madly, stop stalling and jump out to take care of me?

Alicia was full of expectations. Even though she knew that Ryan was not afraid of the other party dragging out time, the Herrscher of Constraints would not die, and many people died every day. Most of the combat power of the Fire Moths was slowed down, so how could they have the energy to go and escort.

These are all people I like. Even if it means putting myself in danger, I cannot let you kill comfortably. Those are the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

Alicia doesn't know how to give up, and doesn't understand the cost. If there is a chance to help, why should she let the human she loves die in vain?

She secretly glanced behind her, at the furious man, and vaguely understood Ryan's thoughts. In his and Mei's eyes, there was never perfection, and they only cared about the ratio of results to costs, so they were so at ease to accompany her in fooling around.

"But I am a girl who pursues perfection, and besides--"

Alicia looked forward and saw a figure flickering beside the dilapidated abandoned car, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"What if that Herrscher suddenly comes to his senses?"

......

Human authority transcends the body and even the soul; it is a connection between minds.

This kind of authority is useless to Ryan, or it will have a counterproductive effect. He is so heavy-hearted to interfere with the Herrscher, which is a kind of "evolution" in a sense. It is estimated that the Herrscher will evolve into an old pervert in an instant.

But Alicia is different. She always stays true to herself and is always optimistic and positive. That little bit of narcissism is more like a catalyst, transferring all her rich emotions to the linker.

In this pre-civilization era, for the Herrscher, this is tantamount to some kind of poison, a poison more deadly than the Herrscher of Death.

Hu Hu Hu.

Heavy gasps echoed in the tunnel, and the Honkai beasts that were attracted surrounded the Ruler of Constraint. There was no scar on his body, not even his clothes were torn. His Honkai energy was still strong, but he gave people a feeling of being severely injured.

That 'traitor' turned out to be this kind of authority. A feeling she couldn't explain filled her body, as if to fill up the emptiness in her heart. She pondered for a long time and finally figured out what this thing was:

Joy, laughter, and hope...

Chapter 398 Unless There Is Another Perfect Person

The strength of Alicia lies not in her 'true self', but in her ability to help others find their true selves. Just like Ryan and Mei's research, today's enemies are actually two completely different types.

One is the "beast", a beast gathered by Honkai energy. According to Vita's information, there is no Herrscher on Venus, and they were destroyed together with this kind of beast. In a sense, Honkai beasts can be infinitely upgraded, and may appear at the end of law level, destruction level, and planetary level. They are robots that simply carry out destruction.

But it is possible that Venus has crossed the end, and Cocoon has lost confidence in this rigid existence, so he focuses on another kind of minions.

That is the Herrscher, but no matter whether it is a Herrscher or a Pseudo-Herrscher, they are all transformed from "humans". The implanted personality is more like brainwashing, but the essence remains unchanged.

The node of this "brainwashing program" is Alicia. She can use her life to unlock the restrictions, allowing the human nature to be revealed again and completely break the program, but she can also use human authority to influence the Herrscher, but the efficiency is not high.

The Ruler of Constraint felt obvious distress and conflict, as if humanity and rationality were fighting in her body, and countless images and memories surged out.

The memories were all there before, but she was just watching them like a movie, simply absorbing the intelligence or combat techniques, or the human planning ability, but now things are a little different.

When he killed the first person in the training camp, in addition to the fighting skills that were so clumsy that there was nothing worth watching, there was also a sense of fear and disgust. That was the emotion that erupted when people slaughtered their own kind, and it was a stage that every cold-blooded executioner had to go through.

Feelings, feelings!

The Ruler of Constraint's expression changed a little, because at the same time she felt annoyed, and a regret that had never been of any value.

If I had been calmer, if I had not tried to test her, if I had seen this traitor and had fled, not giving her the opportunity to use her authority, if...

No if!

Suddenly, the Honkai beasts surrounding him fell to the ground in an instant without a sound, and even the dust in the air fell to the ground and never floated up again.

The paradox of consciousness was more painful than Ryan's slashes. She was silent for a moment, then slowly got up and saw an old man in tattered clothes and pale hair standing at the entrance of the tunnel. He was obviously frightened by the authority just now and did not dare to come in.

But if you look closely, you can see a square in the center of the cloudy pupil, which is the symbol of the Thousand Rulers.

"You, something's wrong?"

"That Herrscher of Humanity has a huge influence. That authority has actually created a crack in my heart. She is too dangerous and must die!"

Even though Ai Lishia hoped, it was not so easy for the Herrisher to clear himself. A certain Paramecium had struggled for a long time, but the influence was still within the control range.

"I can see that the authority you hold is very strange." The Herrscher of the Thousand remained silent, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, "But do you think that there are too many targets who are destined to die?"

It's a bit like irony, but more of it is a kind of helplessness. Alicia must die, Ryan must die, and humans must die. The Herrscher is almost too busy.

But no matter how helpless it was, Alysia had to die. She created a crack in the heart of the Herrscher, making the "human" part of him stir. In the long run, a fatal relationship chain was created besides Ryan.

Either being devoured or becoming a traitor, even the possibility that it exists is unacceptable.

"It seems that the original plan needs to be changed dramatically, and the risk factor will increase sharply." The Thousand Herrscher stood in the distance, still not daring to get close.

"Of course we have to divide the risks between the two goals, but if we don't succeed this time, there will be no future." The Ruler of Constraint finally regained his absolute rationality, slowly stood up, and said in a slightly excited tone:

"Since the third Herrscher, we have made countless plans, changed countless methods, and seen the dawn of victory countless times. Even a month ago, our 99% success rate was ruthlessly snuffed out by him. He found another way out of the Quantum Sea and returned even stronger."

"Yes, we have made an absolutely perfect plan this time. However, perfection has not yet been revealed. In addition to that human, another uncertain factor has emerged. This is just the starting point. It will become more and more dangerous in the future."

He spoke very quickly, and as he walked back and forth, the Thousand Herrscher's eyes moved with him, his old face expressionless, as if he was not affected.

Because these are not important to the Herrscher, and there is no need to get excited. They are like materialized programs. You only need to make plans in the most rational state and then execute them step by step. Victory has nothing to do with it, and failure has nothing to do with it. Instead, it is the state of the Herrscher of Constraint...

"You are becoming more and more like a 'human'."

The Ruler of Constraint paused, as if he had noticed something. His pupils kept shrinking and dilating, and finally he took a deep breath.

"I feel fear and anger. This feeling cannot be described in words, nor can it be resisted or suppressed. But in the future, the Herrscher may really..."

There is no need to say what follows. Anyway, the Herrscher of the Thousand has made the decision, and the old man knelt on the ground as if he had lost his life.

"I will immediately make arrangements to combine all the remaining carriers into one."

"Yes, you should control me. Also, let Him come to the front. I wanted to test the fact that Kallis became the Herrscher, but unfortunately I don't have time."

"Whatever he is thinking, it has nothing to do with me." The Herrscher of the Thousand had no idea why Kalis had received the 'blessing', nor did he care what this person wanted to do. He just muttered to himself before he died.

"I will rule over you, and you will restrain that man's authority."

This is the only way.

The Ruler of Constraint looked at the 'corpse' of his fellow creature. In a sense, Alyssia was more dangerous than Ryan, because it didn't matter after the latter was confirmed dead, just like this era would be restarted, but Alyssia was the one who left endless troubles.

Even if the arrangement of the Fire Moth is left to the next era, it will not be a big deal, but Alicia will fundamentally change everything. In comparison, Ryan seems so "simple and cute".

However, what is this traitor doing who has stepped onto the stage and is bound to accept all murderous intentions?

The Ruler of Constraint was stunned for a moment. Through the connection of the mind, she could vaguely feel Alicia's joy and pity. This fellow who had committed the crime of betrayal and would bear all the repercussions, actually -

No tension at all!

......

"Ryan, they are so pitiful." Alicia's eyes were full of sympathy, so pure, without any sign of acting.
