I am the former civilized hero.

"He is afraid to give me time, and I am afraid to give Him time too. There is no need to expect stupid moves. The only thing I can do is to be qualified to deal with it whenever the end comes."

Mebius moved his lips, but didn't ask how confident he was. Even after another hundred years, it would be impossible to be confident facing the Cocoon of the End. Ryan's greatest contribution was to make it so that the Cocoon of the End had no absolute success rate.

At least, it looks a little hasty. If it had been calm, there would have been no need to block our approach. The previous chaos was more like a gambler's all-in.

This determination was driven by Kallis.

After Ryan got this information from Alicia, his heart finally settled down, because if the Cocoon of the End was well prepared and in control, would he still need Calis' help?

No matter how strong you are, no matter how many twists and turns there are, there is always a chance to win!

Just when everyone was taking the time to rest, there were reports of strange changes ahead, changes that were visible to the naked eye, which made people feel at a loss and uncertain.

“Is it shedding its skin??”

As the earth shook, the giant tree that connected to the sky began to disintegrate, cracking piece by piece from the center like a blooming flower. Before anyone could figure out the consequences, a spear made of huge thunder came whistling towards them.

Boom——Long——

A thunder ball with a diameter of hundreds of meters exploded, splashing out large pieces of crystal.

It works, but it doesn't work.

Ryan did not lose the connection, and he noticed that Shu had no intention of fighting back. He only heard Mei's observation results from the headphones.

"The collapse energy is spreading, and the curve quickly stabilizes after rising."

"Are you blocked? Since you dare to transform in front of me, I won't be polite either." Ryan narrowed his eyes, and then gave a decisive order: "Attack with all your strength, keep your distance, and seize the initiative."

These were three instructions that took every detail into consideration, instantly clearing up confusion and letting everyone know what to do now.

Keep your distance...

Qianjie was the only one in the crowd who was stunned. Seeing that Ryan didn't dare to rush forward directly, wouldn't it be stupid for him to charge forward?

You think I don’t have any long-range attack means, right? Well, I’ll open your eyes today!

The flames were boiling, Qianjie was the first to rush out, even Ryan couldn't hold him back. Just as he was getting annoyed, he saw the burning figure stop in the air.

He leaned his body back as if throwing a javelin, and flames all over his body gathered in his right hand. When it flew out of his palm, it had transformed into a huge flaming spear.

"Good fellow, you are competing with me."

A meteor streaked across the sky, piercing through the rising crystal dust, and exploded on the surface of the giant tree with a "boom".

The destructive power was astonishing, not even much weaker than the lightning spear that Ryan had just thrown out. Even though Qianjie himself was holding his knees and gasping for breath in the air, he still ignited everyone's fighting spirit.

It’s fine if you can’t beat Ryan, but Qianjie, you also want to step on us?

There was no need for Ryan to boost morale. Ice cones were flying everywhere, giant arrows were breaking through the air, and ordinary soldiers also picked up energy cannons, intertwining with the barrage of bullets released by the Hyperion.

The nearby scene was colorful, and fireballs kept blooming in the distance. The just pure air became hot again, and even the towering tree was shrouded in the strong light.

Fire in volleys, bombard, release all that you have gained over the years, and let the desire for destruction burn.

Soon, big holes appeared on its surface. Even though the crystal was as strong as soul steel, it still couldn't withstand this level of attack power. However, the big holes that were blasted out were quickly filled up.

"Do you think you can handle things easily just because you are big and have a lot of energy?"

Ryan had been observing, and when he found that the effect was not good, he licked his lips, gently threw the True Red Spiral away, stared at the falling red spear, and clasped his palms together.

Snapped.

Energy expanded with the Key of God as the center. It was shaped and kneaded, gradually turning into a giant sword a hundred meters long, made of ice as the main body, with dense arcs flashing on the outside, floating under everyone's feet.

Including Qianjie, everyone stopped attacking temporarily, with thunder flashing in their eyes, either fanaticism, expectation, or desire. They knew that Ryan was going to get serious and they were eager to know how powerful he was right now.

"Tsk, it's a little too small."

"Qianjie, if you make a judgment now, you may get slapped in the face later."

"I admit that I have good strength, but I can do it with my full strength."

"Captain, please spare me. You are so heavy, I can't carry you back."

Ryan ignored the chaotic noise, twisted his wrist, and pointed his palms forward.

go with!

Without any sound, gravity ejected it at an unimaginable speed. In the blink of an eye, it flew dozens of kilometers.

The body is made of ice, covered with thunder, gravity ricochets, and blood expands.

It plunged into the diffuse dust, like a whale swallowing the sea, and the fragments of the giant tree were swept away. Qianjie immediately closed his mouth, because in just this short moment, the power increased dozens of times from his full strength level, reaching a level that he could not match even if he drained all his strength.

Damn it, this bastard is getting stronger too fast, I can't catch up at all, especially when all this strength is invested in power, it's like pouring a bucket of gasoline on a fire!

The howling storm seemed to have put a layer of outer coat on the giant sword, and the burning flames made the storm even more violent, which was then remotely controlled by Ryan in the distance with the control thread.

cut! !

There were no fancy special effects. It simply chopped down after expanding. This attack was equivalent to the combined force of all the Fire Moths just now, and it chopped down at the same place at the same time.

clang!

Just like a giant ringing a bell, with a bang, the missile that was already halfway in the air was unexpectedly swept away. The giant tree that was reaching straight into the sky shook a few times, and even the trunk that was constantly blooming paused.

"effective."

Ryan felt the feedback, which was far more than just a simple sword strike. It chopped into one-third of the tree trunk. The pouring destruction made the air in that area become solid, and it was like adding fuel to the fire, allowing the Power of Blood to feast on it.

But don't forget that the core of this huge flying sword is the true red spiral, so when the sword is chopped down, the sword expands at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This monster can actually fight to survive!?" Qianjie's eyes twitched as he watched the colorful giant sword being pulled out from the gap, as if it was lifted up by an invisible hand.

"Don't be in a daze, attack together."

Ryan reminded them, and everyone, who had just woken up from a dream, continued to use their unique skills and attack together with the flying sword.

clang! clang! clang! !

The second sword, the third sword, the fourth sword, each one was heavier than the last. After just a short while, the filling speed could no longer keep up with the destruction. The gap continued to expand, and the surface became bumpy.

Do you really think this is an invincible time in anime, and I will watch you transform?

Ryan was killing with great enthusiasm. As a master of rhythm, he knew that even if the situation was unclear, he had to firmly grasp the initiative and constantly put pressure on the enemy to deviate from their original plan.

The violent attack continued, and the giant tree in the process of transformation seemed to have its progress interrupted. It bloomed slower and slower, and there was no longer a sense of leisure and calm.

If we use a game to metaphorically describe this moment, the giant tree is using his ultimate move, and he is leading his men to frantically interrupt the casting, forcing the opponent's energy that was originally used to amplify to be put into a defensive battle.

The essence of this tree is still a collection of recycled Honkai beasts, plus two Herrschers. Even though the total number is already quite exaggerated, it still cannot withstand the long-term attack of all the Fire Moths.

'It doesn't want to use most of its energy for defense, so it needs to change its tactics.'

Ryan raised his hand and turned his head, just in time to meet Alicia's eyes. The latter bit her lip and nodded heavily, as if she had a bad feeling about something.

"Everyone retreat at maximum speed!"

The order was given decisively, and everyone, including Qianjie who was in high spirits, retreated without hesitation.

Only Ryan stayed where he was, raising his hands high. He saw the giant tree suddenly bloom faster, as if it were an annoyed beast that no longer wanted to deal with humans.

It's anxious. It's anxious.

Seeing this scene, Ryan smiled instead, clenched his hands as if holding an invisible sword hilt, stepped forward with his left foot, twisted his waist and leaned over.

After expanding hundreds of times, it was no longer a giant sword at all. Ryan was more like controlling a tsunami, slashing down firmly, silently, and roaring.

Maximum effort, cut!

Flatten the mountains, turn the earth into rifts, and destroy everything known in the world. At the same time, the blooming giant trees are like a catapult taking off, instantly stepping on the accelerator to the bottom.

clang! ! !

The flying sword slashed in the middle, and the already cracked surface was shattered into slag, and then spread all the way to the depths. The retreating people were attracted by the loud noise and turned back one after another.

Even Eden, who had profound literary attainments, could not describe the scene before his eyes. The colorful "tsunami" embedded in the giant tree, causing this huge object connected to the sky to shake violently. Even after accelerating, it was like a blooming morning glory, but everyone could intuitively tell:

Before it could fully bloom, it would be chopped in half by the man.

Another crisis is about to be overcome. Although it is tiring, the losses are much smaller than expected. Optimism begins to emerge. It seems that the "beast" card of Honkai will lose completely.

Among the people present, only Alicia and Mei had strange expressions. The former did it because of her intuition, while the latter participated in the whole plan and knew what Ryan wanted to do.

"Extreme pressure, and a final push? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Mei had no answer. If the previous attack was to make Honkai step on the accelerator, then this last sword was to remove the brakes, allowing the train of fate to run uncontrollably.

She stared with wide eyes, staring straight at the sword light that almost split the earth in half. There was a hint of fatigue, relief, and fear in her eyes.

The end of the train of destiny is called the end.

There are still ten meters left before it will be completely pierced through. This thickness is no different from a thin layer of skin for the size of the giant tree. Ryan's prone body froze, his clenched hands trembled slightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, as if he could not cut through the last layer of thin skin even with all his strength.

No, it has nothing to do with the amount of power. The thread of control is still there, but it's like it's frozen.

“Even though the plan didn’t go smoothly and there were many unfavorable conditions, have you finally made up your mind?”

He slowly straightened his back and looked forward, his grey eyes reflecting the scene in the distance:

A blooming flower, a huge sword, and other than that, there was only the hazy moonlight.

The light spread all over the area, looking quite elegant, but if you look closely, you will find that the flames, storms, and thunder lingering on the giant sword have stopped moving, and even the crystal powder has solidified in the air, as if everything has been paused.

The stagnation of time and space truly belongs to the realm of 'God'.

Ryan heard his own heartbeat, which was not violent but surprisingly steady. The question that had been bothering him for a long time finally got an answer.

That's right, Calis took over some of the tasks of the post-civilization Prometheus and took that step at the critical moment based on his desire. Otherwise, the behemoth in front of him would have exploded. Judging from its size alone, there would be no problem in sinking the Eurasian continent.

It was very difficult to stop it, and he didn't want to stop it, regardless of the success rate. This way, He would learn a lesson, and next time there wouldn't be so many fancy things. Wouldn't it be more efficient to explode on the spot?

I have prepared so many means to welcome the Ruler of the End, so how can I have the energy to protect the earth itself? If you don't care about your face and keep shitting on your head, then I can only run around for my life.

"Come on, come on, at least this day is still within my consciousness, and as I said to Mei--"

"Being caused by someone with ulterior motives is an advantage in itself!"

The flowers finally bloomed to their fullest, and the hazy moonlight penetrated the sky, exceeding the limit of Ryan's vision, but without looking, he knew that in the direction of the moon, an indescribable object was falling.

Falling from a higher dimension that is beyond human reach.

As vast as the stars and as heavy as the mountains, Ryan immediately withdrew his gaze and felt a heavy pressure falling on his shoulders, as if it was going to crush his spine. This force was still increasing rapidly, causing his bones to make slight crackling sounds.

That’s great, is this the end?

Ryan controlled every inch of muscle in his body and slowly straightened his bent spine. Suddenly, the horrible pressure no longer increased, allowing him to raise his head again.
