I am the former civilized hero.

"Hey, now it's just the two of us. I promise I won't tell Mebius."

I'd be foolish to believe your big mouth.

Ryan glanced at the girl who had transformed into a pufferfish and asked casually, "How did Ms. Ceria end up?"

"She died of illness. Mei told me this." Alicia blinked, and before Ryan could apologize, she said gently, "Don't worry, Mother Ceria has always lived in my heart. I have met many people and made many friends along the way. Many of them have passed away, but as long as I don't forget them, they will always live on."

If I die, will you remember it?

Ryan subconsciously thought that if he didn't ask such an idiotic question in the end, Alicia would certainly remember it. Besides, I wouldn't die, so all the plans that were being carried out at the same time were under my control.

Calmness comes from intelligence. Ryan is obviously a person who has a good understanding of his destiny and is more accustomed to taking control of his destiny in his own hands.

"Want to visit the orphanage?"

"I really want to go, but I think it's better to leave some anticipation in the story, so that there is a desire to strive. Ryan, do you really want to go?"

"I'll listen to you." Ryan put his feet on the ground, slowly straightened his back, opened his mouth, and greedily breathed in the air of this small town. "It is indeed peaceful and beautiful. If there is a chance, it would be nice to regard it as the end of the world."

The origin of everything and the end of everything, just like a snake with its tail in its mouth, and at this moment, Ryan already understood why Alicia brought him here.

It was a spiritual connection, a desire to show his past. In a sense, Ryan had surpassed all humans and was closer to Alicia than ever before.

Visually, the girl was so close that he could see every pink hair and every line on her white stockings. Along the way, the two held hands many times.

But the distance in spirit is even closer. Not everyone has the opportunity to witness the growth of Alicia and to discover the imperfections of this girl. It is precisely because she has removed this perfection that she seems like a vivid and lively "person".

"It's such a unique date. There may be no girl in the world who would invite a man to witness her youthful years, hoping to have a perfect image in others' minds."

If it were Mebius, he would have been stubborn and could have come up with a few excuses. But Lisia was neither shy nor stubborn. She just smiled according to her thoughts.

"happy?"

"Of course, it's my honor." Ryan touched his chest and saluted like a gentleman. It took him so long to finally understand.

Alicia cannot be viewed with such superficial eyes as "picking up girls" or "strategies", and there is no such thing as physical desire or spiritual love. She loves everyone, and being "loved more" is already a break in the balance. Under her "true self", any idea is very natural, just like a natural outcome.

Without saying anything, Ryan spread out his hands, without any hesitation, a small hand wearing a lace white glove was placed on his palm. This was the true expression of Alicia's thoughts, and there was no need for either of them to worry about it.

"The Ruler of Constraint should be moving now."

"Well, what a stubborn child. He was trying hard to resist me, but now he is getting more and more irritable and restless. It's really a little disappointing."

Ryan had expected Alicia's disappointment. This was not a post-civilization, and the Herrscher's carrier was also a well-trained warrior. He even felt that this kind of connection was not a good thing.

A Herrscher without emotions is scary, but in essence he is just a machine that follows routines. Only by combining emotions with authority, and understanding anger and despair, can he create miracles.

This Herrscher was really anxious and decided to take a risk, which made it impossible for me to predict.

People will do irrational things out of anger, and precisely because of this, they are difficult to control. While the Herrscher of Blood seems crazy, it is actually the inertia of his personality, which is fundamentally different from the current Herrscher of Constraints.

"His survival instinct will make him transcend rationality and increase his power at any cost. This will be a disaster for mankind."

"But you'll get through it, right?"

Ryan turned his head, looked at the smile on Alicia's face, threw his white robe away, and turned around suddenly.

"Then there's no need to ask!"

......

In the tunnel, the Ruler of Constraint slowly stood up and gently brushed his light blue hair. His eyes with purple eyeshadow were filled with a strange look.

This is indeed strange, the eyes of the Herrscher are always empty, but at this moment, He seems like a 'living thing'.

"I have to thank the Ruler of Humanity. This trouble made me understand why humans are always so difficult to defeat. There are some things that are beyond the concept of success rate. This is what is called 'gambling'."

Of course, the Herrs don't understand gambling. They will automatically choose the samples with the highest success rate and execute them to the end. But humans, or Ryan, are different. They respond to many crises with an all-in approach.

Even if this kind of gamble would bring even more terrible losses, if he won the bet, it would be a complete win.

The Herrscher could not understand it before, but now he understands. This is an inevitable choice made in despair, mixed with emotions such as courage and perseverance, as well as the meaning of 'living towards death'.

For example, living towards death, the Herrschers in the past could not understand it. Death and life are opposites, so how could they be confused?

His double pupils scanned the surroundings, and thirty figures with tubes inserted all over their bodies were standing quietly. These were Dr. Damian's Chimeras, and they had no practical significance due to their short shelf life.

“Why didn’t He come?”

"The Ruler of Fate seems to be in a similar situation as you. I don't know how the human named Calis did it, but His existence has certain value." Thirty figures spoke at the same time, and the sound like metal friction echoed underground.

The Ruler of Constraint was stunned for a moment, then he understood what "similar situation" meant. The human carrier had somehow avoided the reset of the Ruler's personality and retained a certain degree of autonomy.

This is impossible, but it is also possible. Perhaps they took advantage of the betrayal of the Ruler of Humanity, or perhaps they found another way. After all, those humans have been planning something.

Confusion and anger surged up in His face. The disturbance of emotions made Him look painful, and He shook His head vigorously.

"It's not important, and it's not something we care about. We don't even have the energy to care about it."

"It seems that He also uses humans?"

"In human terms, this is what is called 'taking advantage of the situation', but struggling is futile. Sooner or later, he will be devoured by his personality." There was fatigue in the eyes of the Ruler of Constraint, and for the first time he experienced an emotion called 'helplessness'.

When two giant beasts are fighting to the death, there will always be people trying to take advantage of the situation, but she can no longer care about that.

"Let's get started. Complete our mission as soon as possible before I am swallowed by these human emotions. The Ruler of Man must be restrained. She is more dangerous than that Ryan."

"I have to remind you that the success rate is not high. This should not be used, at least until he completely becomes one of the same kind."

"Everything in the world is a gamble. This is what I learned from human beings. Perhaps this is the courage we lack."

The Ruler of the Thousands is speechless. He does not understand courage, but only probability. He will only choose the plan with a higher success rate. However, after being tortured by Ryan several times, he still can't figure out which plan will have a high success rate.

Besides, she was right. The three goals were impossible to achieve no matter what. If you wanted to do it, you could only learn this incomprehensible "courage".

"You no longer look like a Herrscher, and I will not trust your judgment, but I am tired of failure."

buzzing...

Some kind of resonance occurred in the tunnel. The terrifying energy tore into pieces the thirty straitjackets, forming purple-red ribbons. This was the result of the Thousand Rulers aggregating the remaining hundreds of silk threads and concentrating them all on these thirty experimental subjects.

In human terms, this is suicide, because these bodies have begun to collapse and the flesh has turned into dust and disappeared, but at this time, even more massive energy fluctuations have completely erupted.

Overweight and over-variable.

boom!

The roaring energy penetrated the mountain, like a giant sword piercing into the sky, connecting heaven and earth.

Thirty bodies were instantly reduced to ashes. This was the price of exceeding the limit. Without a carrier, the Thousand Herrschers would also die, but He controlled this incomparable energy and rolled it towards the motionless Herrscher of Constraints like a tentacle.

The energy beyond the limit of control, all the controlling entities are united as one. This limit can only be maintained for a moment, but it is enough for Him to control his own kind who are far stronger than himself and have no defense at all.

The Law of Constraint and the Law of Domination are all One!

Chapter 402: Uproot the fire-chasing moth!

The Herrscher finally moved.

Not only did Ryan raise his head, but Skynet was also frantically sounding the alarm due to the extremely strong energy fluctuations. All kinds of readings were rising like crazy, making people think that there was something wrong with the system.

Alicia could only determine the status of the Herrscher but could not track him directly, so it was impossible for her to strike first. Everyone knew that the Herrscher had a backup plan and would neither be disconnected nor wait to die, so they prepared for the decisive battle while waiting for the Herrscher to take action.

According to Mei's idea, the later the war is, the better. At least she can be more fully prepared. Even if hundreds of millions of people will die, it is better than being defeated here directly.

Alicia had the opposite idea. She would rather use herself as bait and force the Herrscher to take action.

The two completely opposite opinions are irreconcilable, but unfortunately the man chose Alicia, which is very depressing.

"I hope you're not confused." Mei cursed softly, looking at Prometheus' latest analysis results, and captured some interesting fluctuations in the vast energy.

A Herrscher of a Thousand? I see. He actually used that method.

She once had a hypothesis that the authority of the Thousand Herrscher was proportional to the strength and will of the person she wanted to dominate. So was there a way to suddenly increase the strength of the Thousand Herrscher itself?

"Artificial collapse, even if it is a genetic meltdown, only needs to exist for a few seconds. In terms of resistance alone, the Ruler of Constraint will obviously open his heart."

Mei adjusted his glasses. He had basically guessed most of the answer. This was expected and could be considered an assist from those traitors.

"But it must be very difficult, otherwise I would have used it long ago, why would I wait until now." Her brows were furrowed tighter and tighter. The Herrscher seemed too brainless this time, not as rational as before.

So that's how it is. I actually learned how to gamble and be impulsive. It's really hard to get used to it.

The Fire Moths have been fighting against the Herrscher for many years, and gradually formed a template. The Herrscher's authority may change, but his personality is exactly the same. By fitting it into the template, it is possible to predict.

On the contrary, it is this kind of humanized change that makes people confused about what they want to do.

After thinking about it for a moment, she nodded slightly to the assistant beside her, who tapped on the keyboard and two people appeared on the main screen.

One is Ryan, whose background looks like a sea of ​​flowers, and the other is Velvet, who is more hardcore, with countless robotic arms releasing welding sparks.

"The information has been sent to you. We are in big trouble this time. How are you going to deal with it?"

"It's a big trouble every time, so what's the big deal." Weiwei said nonchalantly, and then Mei glared at her.

"If you hadn't been so slow in preparing, would you have been so passive? We could have taken the initiative and seized the initiative a long time ago!"

"But I work overtime every day and don't even do things that interest me."

“This proves that what was added was not enough!”

Ryan picked his ears. He couldn't stand even Mei, the black-hearted capitalist, so he listened to Weiwei's explanation while looking forward.

The stream flowed quietly. Alicia lifted up her skirt and stepped into the river. The sunlight reflected on the sparkling river surface, making her long white legs somewhat dazzling.

This guy is the real king of slacking off.

After taking a look, he turned his attention back to the screen, and realized that Weiwei's preparations were only 70% complete. As for the content, Ryan had already thought about it.

Since the Ruler of Constraint suppresses energy, then give Him more targets. In this world line, conquering the Ruler of Constraint is no longer a one-time deal. After analyzing the authority of the other party, there is ample time to adjust.

"The manufacturing of the Houkai Energy Storage Device is not a big problem. The key is filling it. This is not the fault of Weiwei."

Ryan said something fair, and he saw Weiwei immediately raised her head, as if someone was backing her up. He held back his laughter and reminded her, "But why haven't the ninth and tenth divine keys been made yet? I gave you the Herrscher Core a long time ago."

"Ah... I'll keep trying." Wei Liwei didn't dare to stay any longer and hung up the phone immediately.

Then only Mei was left on the screen. She and Ryan looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness. Everyone was well aware of Velvet's magician personality, and even if Eden was sent specifically to keep an eye on her, it would not work.

This is not to say that Weiwei lacks a sense of urgency. It is already very good that she can hold back those strange ideas.

After a long silence, Mei finally broke the silence: "Alishia, are you okay?"

"She's very happy. Ellie is the only one among us who lacks tension." Ryan looked up at Xiaohe with a smile on his face. "But at this stage, it doesn't matter whether we feel nervous or not."

Yes, it doesn't matter anymore. The war has only lasted for three years, which has made people numb. I am fantasizing about what it will be like after the nightmare ends.

"We know each other too well with Honkai. There's not much room for tricks when we fight with a formal formation. Mei, how's the progress of the Wandering Human Project?"
