I am the former civilized hero.

Ryan, you are wrong. The 'real' Yingjie is just a bond. They are the ones who can really pull you back.

Well, I'm still here for now.

......

Just as the Ruler of Constraint appeared suddenly, His fall was just as sudden, not even as heroic as that of the Seventh Ruler.

But no one dared to say the word "easy". The damage brought by this Herrscher was unprecedented. Just look at the traces he left behind and you will know that it was a dead silence where no living creature could survive.

There were even two head-on confrontations, in which all the military forces of the Fire Moth were exposed.

There was no bloodshed, He simply turned every place He passed by into a dead zone, and the journey ended 215 kilometers away from Haiyuan City.

He was contained, but no one in the Fire Moth dared to relax, and the aftermath work started non-stop, but then they found that there was nothing to clean up.

Except for the dozens of people who made the final charge, including three upper-level fusion warriors, no one survived the fight against the Herrscher. Corpses and shipwreckage filled the ocean. The aftermath work was to constantly salvage corpses and recover equipment.

They didn't know that the Rulers of Constraint in the original world line had almost slaughtered all the fusion warriors, but judging from the current situation, there was no doubt that they suffered heavy losses. Ordinary warriors were not like Ryan who could realize the gains and losses after the battle.

Facing the ravages of the Herrscher, apart from the relief of surviving the calamity, all that remained was a deep sense of exhaustion.

The 11th Herrscher has already made everyone determined to die, and the 12th Herrscher has not yet revealed its ferocious face, so what about the 13th Herrscher and the 14th Herrscher? Without saying too much, can the earth still bear it?

After thinking about it, the only thing that can barely comfort people is that Ryan said he would definitely win, and the result was just as he expected.

The tortuous process cannot conceal the result. The entire battle plan had already begun when Alicia became the Herrscher. However, except for those who controlled the overall situation, most people only woke up from the dream when they looked back and summarized.

"From victory to victory, and finally from victory to destruction, there is no time to make up for the scars left by the Ruler of Constraint." Mei threw the post-war report on the table, took off his glasses, and pinched his brows tiredly.

"We obviously won, why are you saying such discouraging things?" Kevin didn't quite understand, even though the numbers in the report were somewhat shocking.

"Because just a little bit would have made a big mistake for you and me. Even if the result was good, the loss would have been huge."

Kevin licked his lips, not sure how to answer this question, because this encounter was a little too intense, just like the curve in the casualty statistics.

Before this, the curve was very stable, and then it encountered a turning point and suddenly rose.

Taking only the upper-level fusion warriors as an example, three had been killed before. If Yun was included in the statistics, the Ruler of Constraint had killed four of them alone, and even destroyed the thirteen detachments.

[Puritan], [Scarlet], and [Symphony] were almost wiped out, and the rest also lost more than one-third of their members, once again reminding Kevin of a cruel truth:

Honkai can fail a hundred times, but Fire Moth cannot fail even once.

"Actually, I'm more optimistic than I thought. With His strength, I thought there were only a few Fire Moths left. Mei, don't think things are too perfect."

Kevin knew how to find joy in adversity, but unfortunately his girlfriend glared at him after he only smiled briefly.

"I made a mistake. In fact, Ryan had already started to plot against the Herrscher. Except for some unexpected events, everything went according to plan."

"Then you still..."

"That's not enough. I don't want to go through similar troubles. No one knows if we can get through it next time, or we can't afford this kind of 'smoothness' many times." Mei's eyes flickered, and she began to seriously consider the 'Spark Plan' again.

Time is too short to plan, so I have to use time to exchange for success rate...

At this time, Kevin pressed on her shoulders, causing Mei to subconsciously look up and meet the young man's firm gaze, leaving no room for rebuttal.

"It doesn't matter. Even the abyss has an end. I believe Ryan is already trying, even if he never explained it to me."

That's because they think you are too stupid and it's too troublesome to explain.

Mei didn't know how to answer. After a few seconds, she put her hand on her shoulder.

"Kevin, I suddenly remembered that Ryan asked me to bring you a message."

"Hmm? What did he say?"

"I told you to stop trying to be cool and read more."

Chapter 7: Wingman No. Alicia, Ready! (K)

Just as Kevin was gritting his teeth, a crisp crackling sound came from the battleship's medical cabin.

Ryan's fingers kept tapping on the keyboard, and after his mind went blank, he didn't know what he was writing.

The plot seemed to emerge automatically, and it was impossible for most people to access the Internet after they had closed the world bubble. To be honest, he didn't know who he was writing for now.

The '1' on the reading count was a bit glaring, and there was only one person left posting on the screen, which made him scratch his chin helplessly.

"I'm really screwed, right? And this Alicia, is she really unaware or is she just pretending? Why is she still going crazy in the thread?"

Since he became alert, Ryan has restrained himself and stopped writing anything abrupt. He has been focusing on pushing the plot, and now he has pushed it to the twelfth apostle. As a result, the only thing left in the post is:

[I want it to be bitter, I want detailed description]

[It's so boring to just follow the main plot, can't there be some emotional scenes to slow down the pace? ]

[Did you really promote Grey's? The review is not here, you can write another 2,000 words]

It's so annoying. When I write something awkward, people say it's water. When I write the main storyline, it's awkward again. Can't you guess why I'm pushing the pace forward?

Ryan frowned, then took out his cell phone to take pictures of all the ferocious messages, thinking that if they were going to die, they would die together and no one would betray anyone else.

"I have to finish the book quickly, otherwise I'll become a eunuch if I die. Even if I'm killed by the Herrscher, I don't want to be a eunuch."

Ryan has a persistence. The End represents not only the Herrscher, but also his own persistence.

He casually replied "Definitely next time" before closing the computer, propping up his chin and looking at the person in front of him.

There were three beds in the spacious ward, with Mebius, Ying and Hua lying on them respectively. Padofils was originally there too, but was exposed by Ryan, who said, "You pretended to be unconscious because it was too embarrassing. If you can't wake up, I will give you a full body check." Then she left dejectedly.

All three of them were seriously injured. Man-made collapse is a dangerous force in itself, and if their potential is desperately exploited, it would be no different from suicide. Fortunately, they brought the lucky cat with them this time, so everyone had good luck.

Looking at the three sleeping beauties, my thoughts spread uncontrollably.

One foreshadowing has proven to be effective, but I don't know if the other one will come in handy. Just as Mei worried, I really don't have many brain cells left to compete with Him in wits and courage. At least when I'm almost ready, it would be better to strike him with a quick blow.

Fortunately, the authority of restraint is a bug on the imaginary number side. At least as far as I know, there is no authority above it. Even "fate" is an auxiliary authority when it cannot affect me. It can't just kill me directly like the Death Note.

High risk, high reward. Even if he put himself in Ryan's shoes, he couldn't think of any more tricks that Honkai could come up with at the Herrscher level. At most, it would increase output and strengthen power in disguise.

So is it possible to take a route other than the Herrscher? After all, failure will not give me authority like Meituan Express, but no matter what means I use, as long as I am still on the imaginary side, the effect will not be significant.

His greatest advantage lies in his absolute safety. Without qualitative change, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to attack the body of the Cocoon of the End. But he can keep trying and bringing down crises like doing an experiment.

A hundred years, a thousand years, a hundred times, a thousand times, if one of them doesn't kill you, it will make you sick to death.

Even someone as talented as Mei can make mistakes, and it's impossible for me to be perfect every time.

"Captain General, please go back and rest first. We will just watch over here."

At this time, Sene came over wearing a mask. As there was a shortage of manpower, he, a physicist, also came to help.

Ryan, who was feeling a little nauseous at the thought, frowned and shook his fingers: "It's okay, I didn't consume too much energy, so you don't have to worry about your energy. And I can also help a little in biology."

Seeing Ryan say this, Senie didn't dare to say more. He thought to himself, 'The commander-in-chief is really infatuated', and then he felt it was very strange.

It's true that he is infatuated, but this is a bit too much.

He glanced at the three girls lined up in a row, scratched his head, and decided to go gossip with his good friend Erwin.

Ryan didn't care what others thought. The so-called care was just an excuse to avoid work. He had solved the most troublesome problems. Now it was Mei's turn to take charge of the situation.

The remaining people still have to continue evacuating, but many people have been frightened by the Ruler of Constraint, so they have to rely on Aponia and Eden to do psychological work. Many relay points have been erased and a large number of ships have sunk, and these have to be solved one by one.

Oh, and there was also the problem of survival in the world bubble, how to ensure that the Fire Moth warriors could stay behind with peace of mind, and most importantly -

Ryan picked up the document next to him, which recorded the changes in the concentration of the Earth's Honkai energy, and the line became very stable.

"A turning point. It seems that after crossing the Ruler of Constraint, the crazy improvement has slowed down. Could it be that the Cocoon of the End has chosen to give up?"

Ryan was talking nonsense that he himself didn't believe. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. This kind of calm phenomenon is definitely not a good thing. What's the saying?

Biden clenched his fist, is he holding back?

"It seems that Jian also knows that I am not afraid of the remaining two Herrschers. If they send down three or four Herrschers in just one year like before, it will no longer have any effect on me. So the Herrscher of Constraint took the route of overwhelming me with mass, but in the end, he was still defeated by me."

Ryan rubbed his cheeks. Putting himself in the other person's shoes, he couldn't think of a solution. Apart from bringing down the end, the only thing left was to accumulate strength to make a bigger wave. But how long could he accumulate it for?

I can't think of it. At least from Ryan's perspective, he hopes that the Cocoon of the End will send down dozens of Herrschers, which will not only weaken the cocoon but also make him a fat pig.

Didi, didi, didi.

The sound of the heart monitor changed. Ryan looked up and found that he was so focused on his thoughts that he didn't notice that Sakura had woken up. The assassin sat up silently and covered his face in confusion.

"Sakura, you should rest now."

"It's okay, I've recovered." Ying turned her head and smiled at Ryan in front of the bed, then looked at the two beds next to her, "How are Mebius and Hua? Is there anyone who couldn't be saved?"

"The situation is relatively stable. The ones who died in this battle are Zheng and Isa. As for the others, after the Herrscher was defeated, the restraints are no longer effective. It will take some time for the crippled limbs to recover."

"Really? What a misfortune but also a blessing in disguise." Sakura muttered softly. At first she was somewhat thankful that she was not familiar with the person who died. But then she felt that there was nothing to be thankful for, as she herself had been to the gates of hell several times.

"With the previous cloud, it is truly an unprecedented loss. But without you, the loss would be several times greater. No, it should be said that the Fire Moths might be completely wiped out."

Ying had no intention of flattering anyone, she was merely stating the facts. Ryan thought about it for a moment and nodded solemnly.

The Herrscher of today is totally different from the Herrscher of the previous civilization. They are much more powerful. In the original world line, Kevin, bearing the sin, killed the Herrscher of Constraint together with his allies, but this time he was almost lured.

Then the Ruler of Constraint was no longer foolishly using his domain to crush others. His seamless switching and concentrated power made his killing power more powerful than all the previous Rulers combined.

But then again, without him, the Herrschers wouldn't gather together. For example, the Sixth Herrscher has been alive for almost two years and is still alive.

"I just did what I should do." Ryan lowered his head, feeling that there was no need for him to be proud.

"It's the same for me, but I thought a lot when I was restrained, and found that I'm not as fearless as I thought." Ying raised her hand and placed it on her left chest, "This heart still has distracting thoughts. The calm death in my fantasy has become a kind of struggle. When I was being crushed inch by inch, the instinct to survive has never been so strong."

Ryan did not speak, but listened quietly to the girl's story, because he also used all his strength when facing the Ruler of Constraint.

"You can't die. Ling is still waiting for you in the World Bubble. When you think of her, of course you will have the instinct to survive."

"Not just her, but you as well." Ying looked at Ryan, her eyes fixed on him with no intention of moving away. "This feeling is very strange. I want to become a sword, even if I die to pave the way for you. But I really don't want to do that. After all, if I die, I will have nothing. You know, I am jealous of those who are alive."

Staring into the girl's eyes and seeing her narrow fox ears trembling slightly, Ryan was not surprised. Sakura was not the kind of person who would be stubborn and would only use the simplest words to express her feelings.

He subconsciously glanced at the other two beds and smiled gently: "I don't treat you as a sword, and I don't need you to be shattered into pieces. You won't die, and there is no gratitude between you and me. I want to do my best to protect you, that's all."

A little overbearing, but in a sense extremely gentle, because a man should stand in the front and bear the pressure of the whole world.

Use your hands to hold up the collapsing sky, use your feet to step on the cracked earth, and block the most violent storm.

He said so and did so.

The purple eyes slowly shrank, and the girl on the bed rushed out, wrapped her arms around the man's neck, and opened her lips in his ear.

"I have always believed, as I do now."

Ryan's body stiffened slightly, Yingke was not wearing anything. After a moment, he raised his hand and stroked the girl's smooth back, as if he was stroking a piece of precious silk.
