I am the former civilized hero.

Solid lines as red as blood were pouring towards that direction from all directions like pipes. No light could be seen by the naked eye. Only the towering mountains could be seen bulging upward, rising, and shattering, like a giant hand tearing flesh out of the belly of the earth!

coming.

Whether it was Mei and Mebius beside her, or Kevin, Alicia, and the others who had just gathered, their pupils contracted at the same second, reflecting a huge monster:

A white line connected the night sky and the ground. It was impossible to estimate its height at a glance, but the end of it was invisible as it passed through the clouds. Then, it was surrounded by crazy white roots, which beat the ground recklessly and splashed thick dust.

"This looks... like a tree?" Kevin asked subconsciously, and the people around him did not refute.

Even though it looked a little strange, it was indeed like a towering tree with its roots exposed. Ignoring its appearance, everyone's faces sank.

The Honkai Beast is different from the Herrscher. Based on the experience gained during this period, its strength is roughly proportional to its size. The thing in front of us is at least a thousand meters thick and tens of thousands of meters high. From a distance, it looks like a space elevator in a science fiction novel.

Forget about its capabilities. Just based on its size, if it just stands there and lets you chop it, it will be exhausting to death.

"Is this the real killer of Honkai?"

"Then why not use it at the beginning?"

"I don't know, maybe they weren't prepared. Fortunately, Ryan reacted quickly and closed the net in a short time."

"We have concentrated our strength and have a chance of confrontation."

Kevin and the others were surprised and relieved. As the executors of the operation, they quickly went over the battle process of this period in their minds.

From the very beginning, they took the initiative to attack South America to test the truth, to hunt around the world, and then quickly exposed the conspiracy of Honkai, rushed thousands of miles to rescue Alicia, and finally closed the net on a global scale.

One thing leads to another, even if they were deceived, they reacted in a timely manner, and no one could find fault with them. As for the reaction of the Honkai side, it felt more like -

"He was forced to this point, but as Ryan said, the most terrifying thing about Him is that no matter how unfavorable the situation is, He can always turn fate back to its original track." Aponiya spoke in a mysterious tone, but no one refuted.

This is different from the battle plan of the Fire Moth. There is not so much logic and science. It is more like an indescribable fate. God says so, and so it is.

"So this thing won't end there?" Qianjie's mouth twitched.

"I'm afraid that's the case. One foreshadowing follows another. Even if the other one is resolved, a new crisis is already brewing."

Aponia's words left everyone speechless. In fact, over the years, the Fire Moths' combat effectiveness had remained relatively intact, and they had overcome countless difficulties. But the most terrifying thing was not how high the wall ahead was, but that they could never see the end.

No wonder Ryan always leaves some chances and uses risks as a stepping stone, but calculations always have their limits, and the currency of life will eventually run out.

No, the threat is more direct than expected, and it is not as complicated as Aponya imagined!

As a scientist, Mebius doesn't believe in fate or foreshadowing. Her eyes twitched, and based on her research on Honkai beasts during this period, she quickly came to a conclusion.

"Wait a minute, with this size and Honkai energy, it can at least sink this continent."

Huh? Is this true?

Everyone turned around. When it came to Honkai beasts, Mobius was definitely an expert, and they had fought many times before, so they vaguely understood that the power of an explosion was directly proportional to its size.

The Honkai beasts we encountered before were only a few hundred meters long, but this thing is almost breaking through the sky. People with low cultural level like Padofils even think that it can blow the earth in half.

This doesn't go according to the rules. What should I do?

"Don't worry. According to Ryan's and my research, causing irreparable damage to the earth is the last step, and it will not be done easily." Mei walked onto the deck. She didn't need to give any orders at this time, and let the night breeze blow her hair.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her say this, but Mebius seemed even more nervous.

"We can't pin our hopes on the other party's wishes. We must remove this ability!"

"To solve this problem, we must make the other party step down from the throne of destiny, reveal the true destination to us, and use this power elsewhere."

What is 'elsewhere'?

Mobius thought for a moment, and soon understood the 'purpose' of writing this thing, which was to make the other party go from flipping the table to restarting, because the latter did not need contemporary civilization, but needed the earth.

"But we can't even observe, and I can't help much." Alicia suddenly spoke. She knew that the turning point of fate was upon her.

"If fate had not twisted, I would have prepared Prometheus for Him. But don't worry, some people are more eager to get answers than us, and they don't want this war to be indefinite, so the foreshadowing has already been laid."

Mei answered with a smile, her words full of confidence. Others were confused by the riddle, only Alicia was slightly stunned and came to her senses.

So it was him. Yes, he was the Herrscher standing on the side of Honkai and was in charge of a very important task. Was this based on the girl named Vita?

Alicia was a little confused and excited, and raised her hand subconsciously.

"And then, if we can really get to the finish line..."

"It's simple. If you cross it, you live. If you can't, you die." Mei put her hands back in her pockets and pointed forward. "Just do as he asks. At least as far as I know, everything is going well."

Except for Alicia, no one knew what this "smoothly" meant. They only saw the roots shrinking rapidly, and a bright flame rising under the tree trunk. In the blink of an eye, the originally tiny flame rapidly expanded.

Ryan acted without hesitation. Looking closely, he saw that the flame was still some distance away from the tree, but was approaching rapidly.

When seeing this stubborn flame, everyone from Kevin to Alicia, from Mei to Qianjie, had only one thought:

"Come on, let's go and witness the answer together."

Chapter 4: Who said I wanted to challenge you? (5K)

The trail of flames stretched into the distance. Even though the giant now looked small, the scorching flames did not seem to be diminished at all.

The lightning sword slashed through, cutting everything in two. The bloody vortex disappeared in a flash, leaving no corpse behind.

The mechanical killing created the purest "nothingness". Ryan opened fire at full power and kept moving forward like an assembly line.

Move forward, strike, restrain, devour, and integrate the energy into this body.

Ryan even felt a sense of excitement and hunger, like a gourmet encountering a delicacy, madly absorbing energy, so his pace was neither fast nor slow, as if he didn't see the ominous giant tree.

"Sure enough, you didn't try your best to kill me." He muttered to himself. So far, all he encountered was instinctive resistance. This level of attack was okay for Qianjie and others, but it was not enough for himself who had crossed the constraints and possessed eight kinds of authority.

This reaction is very interesting. Last time, the skeleton giant blew himself up without saying a word. While causing damage, he didn't get any advantage. So why did he "cut his own flesh to feed the eagle" this time?

Is it you who distorted Honkai's will?

Ryan had no way of being sure, but that didn't stop him from taking advantage of this opportunity to strengthen himself as quickly as possible.

"Too slow. If we work harder now, we can increase our chances of winning by 0.1 percent."

Even though the electric arcs had spread all around and carbonized everything that came close, Ryan was not satisfied. It was too inefficient to poke with the Key of God.

Snapped.

With a clapp of his palms, more Honkai energy was injected, and the flaming giant behind him expanded significantly and grew four arms.

Some held flaming shields, some held lightning swords, and some simply lifted up hammers made of ice, and attacked madly in all directions with a tremendous force. The 'True Red Spiral' thrown up turned into a red arrow, quickly streaking across the night sky.

After all 617 controlling threads were unfolded and he concentrated his energy, Ryan turned the area within a radius of ten kilometers into a kind of domain, controlling everything as if he had grown hundreds of hands. He himself used his fingers as swords, concentrating the authority like the Ruler of Constraint.

Swah——

More than a dozen thicker roots were cut off. They split in the air, forming dense spikes that shot out, slamming into the flame shield and spontaneously igniting. Then a bloody arrow flashed by, and after the energy was devoured, it could no longer maintain its shape.

The air made a dull explosion, and roots like waves gathered and twisted in front of him, turning into a long whip several hundred meters thick that swept over.

It was extremely huge, or perhaps majestic would be a more accurate description. Any object blocking the road was flattened and it soon came in front of it.

This was enough to turn the flaming giant into cinders, and with a swipe of Ryan's hand, the overwhelming force stopped in an instant, and even the inertia disappeared instantly.

Before it could break free, a meteor streaked across the night sky, and a spear made purely of flames nailed it hard.

boom! ! !

Just like a nuclear bomb exploding, the long whip that blocked the way disappeared, countless fragments flew into the sky, and were sucked into a ball by a gravitational point, crushed into the purest energy, and then pierced through by a blood-red spear, and a red flower ignited from the inside.

First rated power. Blood-red flower.

The energy of destruction in the air was so dense that it was terribly dense. Some hailstones fell down like crystals. This was almost solid energy. Ryan spread out his hands, pinched the crystals in his hands, and they quickly disappeared.

And he experienced an epic feeling of relief that went through his lungs, with obvious satisfaction on his face.

"Thank you for the hospitality. It's been a while since I met such a generous opponent."

After the power of blood was exerted to the limit, he felt like he was robbing money with a vacuum cleaner. It was refreshing but without any sense of luck.

The ability to seize opportunities was something he discovered step by step, but different authorities were shining at this moment, and every Herrscher who died in his hands became a stepping stone.

"Then I stepped on their bodies and slowly climbed up here."

The event took four years, which was not fast by any means, but Ryan felt that he was walking steadily and the steps under his feet were particularly solid. He climbed higher and higher, stepping on the corpses.

The sound of muffled thunder continued, and flames and thunder intertwined, moving forward along the mountain range for about dozens of kilometers. The giant's footsteps finally stopped, and he looked up together with Ryan who was floating on his chest.

"Starting to enter the next stage, are there any reactions?"

He was only moving in one direction, and it was impossible to limit the contraction of the roots in thousands of square kilometers and in all directions. At this moment, the roots in the other directions had already shrunk back, like hemp ropes, covering the trunk layer by layer, making it look thicker and taller.

There was no unusual change, but Ryan instinctively felt that something had changed, as if an invisible gaze was locking onto him.

Unlike the instinctive resistance just now, this is a subjective hostility.

"coming."

As the words fell, the bark decomposed and reorganized like a blooming bud, and then a cross-shaped flash in the center of the bud made the sky as bright as day.

Blood Shield.

call out--

Just as the giant shield in the giant's hand was burning with red fire, the dazzling light was approaching from afar. Ryan took a horse stance, made a blocking gesture, and then seemed to be pushed hard by someone, and his center of gravity fell back in an instant.

A beam of red and blue light came like a torrent, piercing through the mountains and breaking through the night sky. In the blink of an eye, it heavily hit the blood shield, and finally decomposed into countless trickles that spread in all directions.

"This power is stronger than ever before."

Ryan raised his eyebrows subconsciously. Even though the power of blood was weakened, he still felt a strong pressure touching his body. To be honest, he had encountered many light cannons, but the intensity of this torrent was still unprecedented.

buzzing...

Apart from the sound of particles colliding, he could hear nothing. Under the suppression of firepower, Ryan still had no intention of dodging.

The stubborn stone was moving forward slowly and steadily, and the energy splashing out swept away everything around it, but it was still unable to break through the defense. Ryan looked up at the torrent that filled his vision and the cracks that appeared on the shield, without feeling the slightest fear.

This is the significance of transcending constraints at great cost. This authority already exists like a bug on the imaginary number side, and can use "quality" to make up for the gap in "quantity".

boom!

The blood-red shield was finally shattered, but the torrent also reached its limit. Just before hitting Ryan, he raised his hand and disappeared without a trace.

Not a single particle or ray of light was left. In front of Ryan, there was only a deep canyon of roiling lava, facing the giant tree.

"Very strong, but limited." Ryan's expression did not change at all. In a sense, this was a duel between the 'Beast' and the 'Herrser', but the Herrser had multiple powers and knew how to cooperate after years of fighting.

Why was the 'beast' that once destroyed Venus abandoned? In addition to reasons of flexibility and camouflage, it was more of a struggle between 'power' and 'rules'. A monster larger than a planet and with 100000 HW could blow the earth apart, but if this energy was transferred to the Ruler of Constraint, the planet could be plunged into deathly silence with a snap of the fingers.

Higher efficiency, faster killing, special effects and such are meaningless.
