I have no regrets about my 2D world!

They haven't said their names yet, but the other party already knows them. Isn't this clearly telling them, "I have already investigated you, so don't even think about running away"?
Seeing the two sisters crying with joy, Bai nodded in satisfaction, and then told the three of them about 'Honkai Impact'...
Chapter 153: Battle Plan against the Herrscher of Death
At the same time, the Herrscher who was born before now has an official number, the Sixth Herrscher - Herrscher of Death.
The news of the Herrscher appearing in Australia has been reported back to the Fire Moth's headquarters, but the Fire Moth does not have enough capacity to support Australia, so it can only let the local anti-Honkai forces find a solution.
Now they just want to get rid of the Herrscher of Death as soon as possible.
After a few hours, the death zone brought by the Herrscher of Death was about to cover ten cities. The number of casualties during this period had reached over 50 million and was still rising.
"The equipment hasn't arrived yet? If it's any later, the city will be lost!" A soldier roared with clenched fists.
"How would I know why those guys are so slow! Do you think I want to just stand here and watch?!" The soldier who was yelled at roared even louder in response.
They are real businessmen, and every one of them is at least a so-called king of soldiers. But even so, without equipment, they can't survive for more than a moment in the dead zone.
It’s not that they are afraid, but they have seen with their own eyes that some teammates are unwilling to give up and keep waiting to rush in, and then their life reactions disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye. They don’t even know where the teammate fell when he disappeared.
They are not afraid of death, but they don't want to die meaninglessly.
Thanks to the sacrifices of several branches before their arrival, the location of the Herrscher of Death has now been basically locked down. As soon as the equipment arrives, they will be airdropped to the Herrscher's location to fight.
This battle has only one outcome for them—victory! No matter the cost!
Otherwise they would feel that they have let down the sacrifices made by those in the branch.
Several branches with tens of thousands of people now have only a few hundred people left.
The image of those wills folded into pieces of paper and placed together was still lingering in their minds. If they could not win, they would risk their lives to do the same thing as the suicide squads before. This way, at least their hearts could find some relief.
A gloomy atmosphere filled the air. Everyone clutched their weapons tightly. Some paced back and forth, some muttered quietly, and many more roared like the man before them...
"The equipment has arrived, prepare for battle!"
A voice came from outside, and everyone instantly perked up. Without any organization, they spontaneously left this place as quickly as possible to change equipment.
A few minutes later, boarding was completed.
Everyone was wrapped up tightly, from head to toe, without even a hair exposed.
"Listen carefully, although this equipment can resist the erosion of the dead zone, it is not permanent. It can only allow you to maintain combat time for three hours at most.
When the time comes, even this kind of equipment will be corroded by the dead zone. When your bodies are exposed, you will lose your strength in a few minutes and die completely in less than half an hour.
And I have to tell you some bad news. It will take at least ten hours to produce the next batch of this equipment. I think you should understand what this means.
Therefore, this battle must be won, not lost! And the victory must be swift!
Of course, since most of you are having close contact with the Herrscher for the first time, and to such an exaggerated degree, this time the headquarters has ordered that you are allowed to use all weapons except the unfinished Divine Key series of weapons.
There is a communication device inside your clothes, which is also wrapped in this anti-corrosive material. Please report any weapons you need at any time. We will be observing you from above, and once we receive the information you send, we will immediately airdrop the weapons.
Do you understand? ! "
"Understood!"
"Very good, the distance is almost there, prepare to drop!"
"Yes!"×n
......
As dozens of attack helicopters flew over the city, hundreds of fully-equipped Fire Moth elites descended with parachutes.
Even though they were well prepared, their expressions changed when they actually came into contact with the core area.
The once colorful city had long since disappeared, the tall buildings had long since collapsed into ruins, and were slowly turning into gravel before their eyes.
The clean ground has lost its former luster, and dust is floating everywhere with the bleak wind.
None of the Honkai beasts and death warriors they expected to face appeared, as if this area was a place of death for them as well.
Hundreds of people consciously formed several teams to prepare for exploration, but at this moment a voice came from the communication.
"Your judgment was incorrect. The concentration of the Death Zone near the Herrscher of Death far exceeded expectations. The survival time of your equipment in this area has been reduced by at least half. This means you only have an hour and a half left, or even less. Please pay attention!"
It was another piece of bad news, but everyone's expressions did not change much, because they had received countless pieces of bad news in just half a day, so this did not have much impact on them.
It only takes a dozen minutes at most to reach the central area. Even if the time is halved, it will still take at least an hour. If hundreds of people cannot capture another Herrscher in an hour, then they will die, and continuing to live is a waste of resources.
Without much hesitation, everyone calmly rushed towards the central area. Just as they thought, they were even faster. They arrived at the center in about ten minutes and saw the appearance of the Herrscher of Death.
A girl with short blue hair was walking on the street with lifeless eyes. Even though they were within a hundred meters of the girl, she still acted as if she didn't see them.
Some people looked calm and wanted to investigate the situation, perhaps wanting to understand whether the girl still had independent consciousness. Some people could not help but raise their guns, and flames spurted out.
At the moment the gunshot rang out, the girl suddenly raised her head, and a gray mist appeared in her eyes.
The bullet fired from the muzzle turned into sand when it was still more than ten meters away from her, and the density of the black mist around the person who fired the gun instantly increased.
The protective suit that was originally expected to last for more than an hour completely disappeared in just a few seconds, and he himself turned into powder, without even having time to call for help.
This man's death seemed to be just the beginning. The girl was like the god of death who had been awakened. Black mist surged as she waved her hand, and all objects she touched turned into sand within seconds.
While avoiding the black fog, everyone observed the girl's actions. Finally, after losing a few more people, someone discovered the secret.
"The black fog he can mobilize is limited. When he attacks, the defenses around him will be reduced. But if we're only attacking one person, our bullets can only reach ten meters around him. We must find a way to limit his use of the surrounding black fog!"
"I'm fast, I'll be the bait, you guys continue to attack!"
"I'm coming too!"
"I'm coming too!"
In an instant, several people responded, willingly staying close to the Herrscher to act as bait, allowing their companions on the periphery to attack.
No one objected, and the action began immediately...
Chapter 154: I received your wish
The sound of gunfire continued to be heard. In just half an hour, there were less than a hundred soldiers left out of the hundreds. The weapons they used also changed from guns to high-powered bombs.
"Success!" A surprised voice was heard, and the rest of the people looked at the Herrscher.
The Herrscher who had been standing there for half an hour without any movement actually retreated. Regardless of whether it was fake or not, at least their attack had an effect.
"Very good, it seems she can't hold on any longer. Keep increasing the output, we don't have much time."
"necessary!"
If so many companions had not died, perhaps everyone present would have laughed happily. But now, even if they wanted to laugh, their faces would be hideous, uglier than crying.
The sound of artillery fire continued to echo in the city, sand and gravel were flying, smoke was everywhere, and the planes responsible for transporting equipment in the sky had been replaced one after another.
After bombing for more than ten minutes, the Herrscher coughed lightly, as if he was finally injured by the artillery fire.
The black fog surged again, becoming even thicker.
Some people who were close could even hear the wailing coming from their combat uniforms, as the safe barrier was moving away from them.
With their vision blocked, everyone retreated without hesitation, and the Herrscher finally gave them his first greeting.
"It's really strange. You clearly don't even consider me a human being. Now I've already fulfilled your wish, but you still won't let me go. Is it possible that I shouldn't exist in this world?"
The Herrscher's whispers seemed to transcend the barriers of space and reach everyone's ears clearly.
Those who reacted quickly already understood something, with a hint of something flashing in their eyes, while those who reacted slowly had already yelled.
"You damned Herrscher! You killed so many people without a trace of mercy. Your existence in this world is a mistake. Now that we are here to help you, you should just die in peace!"
As he spoke, the weapon in his hand began to emit flames again.
Because they were scattered, others had no time to stop them and could only watch the smoke-filled bombs fly into the black fog.
However, this time the Herrscher did not appear injured as they had imagined, and the bomb was stopped at the edge of the black fog.
As if touched by the hand of the god of death, the weapons, rich in various technological crystals, returned to their original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A voice came out from the black fog again...
"So you guys also think I shouldn't exist in this world. If that's the case... then let's go together!"
The Herrscher's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and she took all the black mist back into her body.
Just as everyone was wondering what she was going to do, the retracted black mist shot out from her body like a laser, but in the blink of an eye, several people who were close to her were pierced through.
This time they did not disappear instantly, but they lost all their strength at the moment they were pierced, and all fell to the ground. Then they watched their bodies dissipate bit by bit, but could not utter a word.
Those who were far away had more time to react. Some of them narrowly avoided the attack, while others were still unable to dodge and were poked.
Without any chance to react, the Herrscher's power spread throughout their bodies like a chain reaction within the few seconds of their hesitation, and then they collapsed like the people before them.
Another major reduction in personnel, with only less than ten people left out of dozens!
The few who survived were all thankful for their own agility, and at the same time raised their weapons and aimed at the Herrscher, who was no longer obscured by the black fog.
At this time, the Herrscher stood there quietly, with his head slightly lowered, his bangs covering his eyes, as if he was asleep.
"Go ahead, I don't have any extra energy."
A gentle tone came out of her mouth, as if she were really a weak little girl.
However, no one dared to get close. After all, the situation just now was still before their eyes, and no one was sure whether the Herrscher wanted to trick them again.
However, seeing that the Herrscher had no intention of resisting, someone quietly switched to a gun.
'Bang bang bang bang! '
Four consecutive shots hit the Herrscher's shoulders and leg joints accurately.
The Herrscher fell to the ground, kneeling on the ground, his arms hanging limply.
Seeing this, the soldier who fired the shot held the gun in one hand and took out the communicator with the other.
They wanted the Herrscher to die more than anyone else. Now they only needed to aim at the Herrscher's head or heart and gently pull the trigger. There was absolutely no chance that the Herrscher, who still had a human body, would survive.
But they couldn't do it...
It's not because they feel pity for the Herrschers. Their brothers and sisters just died tragically in front of them. They have neither the qualifications nor the ability to feel pity for them. They can't bring themselves to do it because they simply believe that a living Herrscher is far more useful than a dead one.
None of them are fools, because fools wouldn't be alive today.
They knew that the Herrscher's body would be taken for research and might eventually become part of a certain plan, but that would ultimately be too inefficient. It had been almost two years since the First Herrscher was solved, but the research results on the First Herrscher had not yet come out.
If a living Herrscher is willing to cooperate in the research, the efficiency will definitely be much faster than studying a corpse. Perhaps the next time a Herrscher appears, the death rate will not be so high.
The communication was transmitted and soon an order from above was received.
You're going to die!
First, they had to give an explanation to so many people who died, and second, the Fire Moths didn't have the confidence to control a Herrscher, especially one who could kill them so easily.
Besides, who knows if the Herrscher really only has this one ability? What if he has other abilities that can be used in this situation?
Although research on the dead is slow, it is safer. They don't want to be wiped out in their own home again.
After receiving the above message, the soldier raised his gun again and put his finger on the trigger.
"From what you've said, it seems you were once human. I don't know why you became a Herrscher, but you've already killed so many people. So... do you have any last words?"
Last words...
The girl lowered her head and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
"Actually, I..."
'boom! '
A gunshot rang out, and a hole appeared on the girl's forehead. The voice of a fellow soldier was heard from the side.
"Kevin, this situation requires a clean and decisive action. We don't know if this Herrscher has any further plans. Even if you feel sorry for her, you must consider yourself first."
"...I see."
"Alright, collect the bodies and assemble. Our combat uniforms are almost up."
Following the shouts of other soldiers, the remaining few people began to tidy up the surrounding things one after another.
The girl whose head was shot lay on the ground, recalling everything in the past: being adopted, meeting her 'mother', being alone, discovering the 'truth', becoming a Herrscher... all her thoughts became nothing.
Until the end, the girl's fantasy froze on a blue butterfly.
