I am the former civilized hero.

Research and experience can both increase understanding, but they are different from enlightenment. It is impossible to achieve an immediate upgrade through enlightenment.

"The Quantum Sea has become known through the fusion operation. I need a special environment to explore the unknown, an environment where imaginary numbers and quantum are mixed, or I need to spend a long time to study. However, these two conditions are not something I can achieve with my efforts."

Ying opened her mouth, but had to close it again. She didn't understand anything at all, let alone make any suggestions. She just felt that Ryan's "fate" was abstract and troublesome, and she preferred things that were visible and tangible.

For example, if you do a thousand push-ups every day, your strength will increase a little.

"Don't think too much. Just get the benefits you have now. I'll discuss the issue of the Quantum Sea with Mei when I'm free. I already have an idea. There is a being that can create that kind of environment." Ryan smiled and patted Sakura's shoulder.

"Who?"

"The end."

Sakura's pupils shrank slightly. Shouldn't she have this trump card before challenging the end? How could it be the other way around? But she didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, I won’t understand even if I ask, so I just need to follow the orders obediently.

At this time, Su also floated over, nodded to Ying, and smiled gently: "The destructive power is really great. Canghai is a big city with a population of tens of millions, but it was razed to the ground so easily."

"I'm sorry, I can't suppress the power, but think about the bright side, we won't have to tear it down and rebuild it again." Ryan put his hands back in his pockets. He had destroyed so much that he no longer felt guilty.

"Actually, you still held back, Nuo. That was the high school Hua attended." Su stretched out his hand and saw a building still remaining next to a huge pit in the distance. He had accompanied Ryan there one summer vacation.

"It's just a coincidence. You have a really good memory. You can remember it after going there once."

"It's probably the aftereffects of the fusion surgery. Some things are hard to forget. Also, don't look at me like that. It's disgusting." Su subconsciously took a half step back, revealing a somewhat emotional expression: "I went to Changkong City to check it out. The academy still has the second teaching building. It's really solid. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Changkong was also torn to pieces by Hua, and it could be said that he and Ryan had exchanged homes.

"Come on, the bald professor I hate the most teaches in that building, and he actually deducted two points from me, causing me to lose to Mei."

"But you got full marks in all your subjects. Kevin gnashed his teeth with envy. Fortunately, I got fourth in the grade."

"It's because he failed to meet Mei's goal and was banned from dating for a month."

Ying listened quietly to the Versailles gossip between the top students. She was very interested in Ryan's past and felt that he was much richer than her monotonous assassination life. She also did not think it was shameful for Ryan to lose to Mei.

At that time, 'Blood Vampire' was in the limelight. I had guessed what this colleague was doing, but I never expected that he was a top student.

It was too weird, and she finally couldn't help asking, "Ryan, were you really in school back then?"

"To be precise, I went to school during the day, dealt with the surrounding Honkai beasts at night, and took orders to kill people on weekends. There was nothing I could do. I was very weak at that time. Even if I wanted to take a break, I had to help those big shots do the dirty work." Ryan looked at her strangely and saw that Sakura's eyes twitched slightly, as if she had a lot to say.

"Is there a problem?"

This is a big problem. How can you advance these completely unrelated things simultaneously and do each of them extremely well?

"You are...really good at managing your time."

"You are a famous time management master, but you didn't enjoy love at the most youthful age. The price you paid..." Ryan got stuck halfway through his sentence. Ying was looking at him with a gentle expression, and Su next to her kept giving him looks.

It seems that Ying is not so easy to talk to now? Is this the possessive desire that comes from tasting her?

Ryan was puzzled for a moment, then decisively skipped the topic and pointed to the south: "There is another Honkai beast over there, which is much more sensitive than this 'Godzilla'."

"Well, it's running fast, it should be a psychic." Su cooperated decisively and took the tactical terminal from his subordinates. "Including this one, uh, Godzilla is the same. At the beginning, it didn't have crystal defense and energy ray spitting, which means..."

"It merged or evolved new abilities while fleeing." Ryan raised his eyebrows. This hunt was originally an experiment. More and more intelligence was gathered and the truth was revealed.

This is another upgrade route, where the 'beast' is closer to the laws of nature, rather than an apostle-like law-giver who is given authority by 'God'.

"He should have used it earlier. It's still too rigid. Targetedness can sometimes be a good thing." Ryan muttered to himself without explaining to the confused Ying and Su.

To put it bluntly, the targeting of Honkai is a passive neural reflex, constantly adjusting the plan based on the level of human counterattack. It is estimated that no one expected that Ryan could disrupt the world line beyond recognition in just a few years.

Fortunately, this is an exam, and even if the answers are fixed, the examiner does not need much subjective initiative. Otherwise, he would just send down a Herrscher to defeat the human, and then force the human to copy the answers.

What a despicable examiner, he wants too much but often gets nothing.

"Follow me and chase it. The other one is very weak. Don't let it get away. Su, set up a mental barrier for me. Ying, go ahead and stop it."

"receive."

With two decisive responses, Ying took the lead in initiating the artificial collapse and disappeared. Suddenly, a thundercloud appeared in the distance, carbonizing the earth with crackling sounds.

Ryan paused for a moment, looked at the city ruins in front of him, raised his eyebrows subconsciously, and when the invisible mental force swept over from the front, he chased after it along the coastline.

......

A frog-like eyeball rose and fell with the waves, reflecting the brilliant lightning that almost split the sky in half. The eyeball's destructive energy was so low that it could even dissolve into the air.

The image is fed back to a distant place, and the energy frequency is converted into an electromagnetic signal and projected onto a square old TV.

Deep in the completely enclosed underground, the fluorescent light from the screen illuminated the profile of Calis, making it impossible to read what this man was thinking.

"He's gone. To be honest, your deliberate misleading played a key role." The cramped cave was empty, with only a gentle voice echoing, "Of course, Dr. Ryan is not stupid. He now has multiple powers, but he still lacks the most basic energy to defeat Honkai, which requires a lot of time to accumulate."

"But he just doesn't have time. These remaining Honkai beasts are the most precious nutrients that can solve his urgent needs." Calis took over the conversation and slowly crossed his hands. "And I didn't mislead him. Given time, the 'beast' will have the opportunity to evolve to the extreme. By then, whether it is the Herrscher or the Honkai beast that brings the end, do you think it matters, Dr. Damian?"

The answer is obvious. The Fire Moth, which has the information about Venus, will of course take the threat of the beast seriously.

"I'm curious. It would be in your best interest to let the Fire Moth delay time. Why would you want to help?" Damian didn't quite understand.

"Because another attempt has been seen through, I find that "He" doesn't have much patience left. By then, you, he, and I will all be losers." Calis's expression was a little serious, with a hint of bitterness. "It is impossible for Dr. Ryan and I to have mutual trust. I don't know if he knows where the real crisis comes from. I can only do this in vain. I hope he can see it."

He was definitely not Ryan's friend. There was only an unspoken tacit understanding and trust in each other's intelligence.

If the table really needs to be overturned, everyone will have to lose their pants, except for the Cocoon of the End who has no concept of winning or losing.

"Maybe he's already figured it out?"

"It's possible. Dr. Ryan's planning ability is top-notch among humans, but I can't pin my hopes on him because he sometimes places too much emphasis on emotions."

As Calis spoke slowly, he saw a 'blazing sun' rising in the distance, turning the night into day, and saw a worm-like monster hissing and melting in the 'sunlight', and the fear in his eyes became more intense.

Even with the strongest power, the highest reputation, the smartest wisdom, and the richest combat experience, if you become an enemy of such a person, you don't even have a one percent chance of winning, and you are not even qualified to trade.

"So I can only work like a mouse, trying to use the power of Honkai to unlock that shackle, so that I can move forward to the next step."

"The success rate is too low. I am not optimistic."

"You have to do it though. It sounds sad, doesn't it?"

"You don't want to be a tool, but to join the game. This is the necessary price." Damian's tone was a little sarcastic. Two gods are fighting, and you, a mortal, insist on going in. Of course, you will be turned into powder if you are not careful.

"I am more self-aware, combining ideals with collapse, but as a friend of many years, I don't mind doing you a small favor."

The sound gradually became blurred, just like the persistent doctor was getting farther and farther away. Calis, leaning against the wall, was silent for a while before he sighed softly.

In this huge war, they can only be regarded as small characters. As for their ideals and persistence, Honkai doesn't care, and neither does Ryan. In essence, they are no different from the civilians who died in Honkai.

But the tiny firefly also wants to emit a faint light, not to illuminate the world, but just to see its own future clearly, even a little bit.

He glanced at the screen again. The 'blazing sun' in the sky dimmed along with the roar. Under the siege, the powerful Honkai beast did not last long, and the man was still getting stronger.

Can I hide it from him? Or does he already know about it and is using me?

Calis found that he didn't have much confidence, so he just raised his fingers and wrote words in the air.

Let me see if fate can really shackle you.

Chapter 5: My Senior Brother is Always Too Steady (K)

Day returned to night, the last remaining light illuminating the wax-like mountains and the dry riverbed in the distance.

The original city had disappeared, and the melted crystals were the last to remain. After the breakwater was damaged, seawater poured back in and quickly formed a lake.

This one is indeed weaker than I thought.

Ryan exhaled a breath of foul air. In terms of energy intensity, this earthworm was one level weaker than the "Godzilla" just now. Although it was a rare mental ability, with Su following it, it didn't take much effort to kill it.

It's still the same as escaping, fighting, self-destructing, these mechanical actions are incomparable to the flexibility of the Herrscher, even the Herrscher with a solidified personality cannot compare.

I had prepared in advance, so there was no possibility for me to execute the last step.

He slowly clenched his fist, feeling the abundant Honkai energy. Even though there were many impurities, he still gained nearly 1500HW of energy, almost catching up with a Herrscher. The key was that the cost was small. Only a few people in the two cooperating teams were injured, and most people just watched the show.

On the surface it is a crisis, but in fact it provides me with an opportunity. Could He be so kind?

"It seems that Honkai helped a lot?" Su slowly flew over with a gentle smile on his face. "As you expected, Honkai was a little impatient. Even if it was Him, it was inevitable that he would reveal flaws."

This is a very normal phenomenon. As the saying goes, dripping water wears away a stone. After fighting for so many years, both sides are basically about to reveal their cards.

Flaws? Honkai is not even a human being, how can there be any flaws?

Ryan frowned subconsciously, looking at the corpses on the ground, thinking that it was a bit too smooth. But the Cocoon of the End was indeed a helpless waste utilization, and the intention was also very sinister. This result that was beneficial to him was also a result of spelling.

In this long war, I am finally beginning to gain the upper hand?

Before he could think about it, he heard a buzzing sound in his ears. Looking up, he saw a huge ship breaking through the clouds.

The Destiny arrived from Neon. A figure stood at the bow and was waving. He looked a little excited, but because of his status, he was deliberately reserved and acted very maturely.

"It seems that Hua's injury is not serious." Ying also came over and saw Ryan with a relieved smile on his face like an old father.

"It's much better now that we've taken that step. Hua can now stand on his own. Let's go back to the boat and take a rest."

Ryan went forward as he spoke, and the fusion warriors all breathed a sigh of relief. These Honkai beasts were extremely powerful, and it was still a bit difficult for them to face them, especially the Tianhui team, which had chased them from the peninsula to here across thousands of kilometers and was really exhausted.

At this time, the benefits of disbanding the fleet become apparent. Even if it cannot be put into battle, it can provide a place to rest on this desolate earth, which is always better than surviving in the wilderness.

A group of soldiers fell into the warship and immediately started to eat or prepare without stopping. The intelligence officer began to look for the next hunting target. For example, during the battle just now, Skynet detected the fluctuation of Honkai energy in the sea. Maybe they just poked their heads out to take a look, but once their tracks were discovered, they would have no chance to escape.

Fake hunters track footprints, while real hunters use satellite monitoring and at the slightest sign, use supercomputers to analyze the path. This is the high-tech way of hunting.

"Brother, you solved two of them so quickly. You are so fast." Hua stood in the corridor, with his hands behind his back and his toes touching the ground obediently, looking like someone who had gotten a high score and was expecting praise.

"Use superior forces to surround and attack. If we can still fight hard, there will be no chance for the Herrscher." Ryan walked over and naturally stretched out his hand to ruffle the girl's gray-blue hair. "Well done. I thought you were the first one to ask for help."

"I've said that I'm not a child anymore. I've grown a lot in the past few years." Hua struggled for a moment, then nodded to Ying, and then took Ryan to the bridge. "It's indeed as you expected. The mutated Honkai beasts are more cunning, but their IQ is very low. They don't seem to be able to plot. Once you get used to it, they are easier to deal with than the Herrscher."

"No matter how the means are used, the essence will not change. This is why they are replaced by the Herrscher." Ryan glanced at Hua, who had a serious face and kept saluting his passing subordinates, and couldn't help but laugh.

He hasn't grown taller or taller, but his aura is quite good, and his every move and gesture finally displays the confidence of a strong man.

The respect of subordinates comes from the heart, even the deputy captain Owl is convinced, which makes Ryan even happier. He feels that it is right to let go occasionally. This sense of recognition cannot be obtained by following him.

He already knew that there were many people imitating him within the Fire Moth, but Hua was the only one who had truly learned from him.

After the little episode, Ryan had no intention of slacking off. He first held a remote meeting with Mei who stayed on the Hyperion to summarize the intelligence.

Everything went smoothly. Finding opportunities in crises was what he and Mei were best at. If there was anything wrong, it was only that the electromagnetic interference was getting worse and the communication with the various troops was intermittent.

But this was also part of the plan. After analyzing the abnormal energy frequency, it was roughly determined that the source of interference came from under the Antarctic ice cap. Kevin and Andevich, who were nearby, had already gone to deal with it.

Once the source of interference is resolved, everything will return to normal.

"Are the Genesis and Moonlight Throne projects going smoothly?"
