"The fighter jets lost contact immediately after entering the airspace of Changkong City. We witnessed the crash of those planes on the sea. We speculate that the electronic pulse attack that enveloped Changkong City is still taking effect. The current situation in Changkong City is still unclear. We don't know whether it is the Honkai energy that caused this situation, or whether the Herrscher born this time has the means to shield electromagnetic signals."
As the subordinate spoke, he couldn't help swallowing, and his words revealed a strong fear.
It can be said that in the first two collapses, the Fire Moth was able to win and even kill the being called Herrscher by relying on various high-tech weapons.
And Honkai seemed to have self-awareness and immediately took countermeasures.
If all of humanity's high-tech means fail, they will have no chance of winning against the Collapse.
Not only this subordinate, but the five representatives of the People's Union in the conference room also had unhappy expressions on their faces.
The failure of technological means meant that they couldn't even get close to Changkong City.
It's not even known how this signal blocking works.
If it was just covering Changkong City, it might be okay, but if there was a certain existence that possessed such power and could even move freely, it would be an unimaginable disaster for the entire human civilization.
"Please rest assured. Although the failure of the electronic equipment was somewhat unexpected to us, the elite warriors of the Fire Chaser Moth have already been deployed in Changkong City. I have enough confidence in them. Now we just need to wait for their good news."
Soon, Mebius calmed down. She was indeed full of confidence, because not only was Alicia there, but Xu Nuo was also in Changkong City.
With that man around, a mere Herrscher shouldn't be able to cause much trouble.
Let’s not talk about the chaos in the outside world for now, in Changkong City, the Fire Moth Combat Command Room.
The power of the entire command room suddenly went out, leaving Mei confused as she stood in front of the instrument.
Could it be that I touched something I shouldn’t have touched, causing the power to trip?
There was a moment of panic in the command room, but order was soon restored.
After all, they are the elites among the elites and will not lose their composure because of some unexpected situation.
"Lord Eden, Changkong City has been attacked by an unknown electromagnetic pulse. Now all the electronic facilities in the city are paralyzed. We have lost contact with the outside world. Please give us some instructions. What should we do now?"
Originally, it was Mebius who was in charge of the command remotely, but now the communication was cut off, and the command naturally fell to Eden, who had the second highest status on the scene.
As for Xu Nuo and Mei, most people present only knew that they were from Eden and had no idea about their identities.
"Me... me?"
Eden pointed at himself, a confused look on his face.
If Eden were asked to sing a song to boost morale, she could do it, but if she were asked to make arrangements and give orders, she would just be in vain.
Standing in the center of the command room, being stared at by more than a dozen people, Eden felt full of pressure. Then he could only look for help to Xu Nuo who was standing aside.
Xu Nuo simply ignored Eden's look for help and pulled Mei out of the command room.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
“Nothing special.”
"Then it seems that your adaptability to Honkai energy is quite good."
Xu Nuo nodded. After all, the girl had been fed by him so many times. Although her life form had not changed, it was natural that the collapse would not affect her body.
"Honkai energy... adaptability?"
"That's right. If the adaptability of Honkai energy is too poor, they will be infected with Honkai disease and become dead soldiers."
Although Mei had never seen a group of death warriors, he had heard Mebius describe them.
It is like the zombies in disaster movies, and can also be said to be an alternative type of Honkai beast.
"The collapse has already happened. Just now, more than 90% of the people in this city were infected and turned into dead soldiers."
Xu Nuo didn't know how to describe what he had just felt. That kind of power and abundance had certain similarities in that they both forcibly transformed the life forms of life.
But compared to the blessing of abundance, the transformation of collapse seems much inferior.
Unlike the abundant evolution, collapse is pure plunder and destruction.
However, among those many inferior lives, a special individual was born, a bit like the power bestowed by the star god, so this individual is the Ruler of Honkai?
Ninety percent?
Changkong City has a permanent population of three million. When Mei realized what the number 90% meant, she felt like she was fainting.
She followed the man with a dazed look and came to the rooftop, where she could see the whole city.
Now, the whole city has been surrounded by blood and fire, with explosions, burning and rising smoke everywhere. However, due to the distance, the sound can hardly be transmitted to this hundred-story building. The only sound in Mei's ears is the whistling wind.
"Go in first. I'll deal with the Third Herrscher."
Mei stood there without moving. Xu Nuo seemed to realize something and turned around and smiled at the woman.
"Want to see what this world really looks like? Not impossible, but don't be scared after you see it."
It has to be said that the ability of the Third Herrscher is also a help to Xu Nuo. The other party blocked the electromagnetic signals of the entire Changkong City and cut off the connection between this city and the outside world. This also means that everything that happens here will not be known to the outside world.
That promise can also be a little unrestrained.
"It's been a long time since I last ate."
It whispered softly, and then blood-colored branches began to grow.
The branches sprout, the buds bloom, and the growth comes from beneath the flesh and blood.
The skin was torn, the flesh was devoured, and the bones were crushed.
Xu Nuo opened his arms, and with a head-numbing sound of cracking, endless branches and vines broke out from under his flesh.
Mei looked at the shocking scene in front of her and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
She watched the branches gushing out of Xu Nuo's body and watched him being torn into pieces, but inexplicably, the girl did not feel the slightest fear or nausea. Instead, she felt that the scene before her was strangely sacred.
What a nice view……
This is the ultimate of flesh and blood and life, this is the ultimate form of all existence, this is abundance.
The blood-colored branches swept along the street like a raging flood, and countless small branches split from the main branches, sweeping towards the dead soldiers and collapsed beasts on the street.
No Honkai beast could resist these inconspicuous branches. They were easily entangled and crushed, and then disappeared among the layers of branches.
Chapter 358: A Child's Play Ending
In Changkong City, in the coastal area, Alicia led a troop stationed here.
The troop was indeed in a panic for a while when it suddenly lost contact with the command center and all electronic facilities stopped working.
But soon, under the leadership of Alicia, they calmed down and began to gradually advance towards the center of the city.
While clearing out the dead soldiers and Honkai beasts on the roadside, they also comforted the remaining survivors.
There was no way to bring so many survivors along, so Alicia could only let them stay where they were and wait for rescue.
"Captain... Captain, come and see, what is that?!"
An extremely terrified voice came from the street. Alicia frowned slightly and walked out of the house which was not badly damaged. Then she also saw the bloody tsunami rushing towards her.
A feeling of fear emerged from the bottom of her heart, but Alicia quickly calmed down because she realized that the blood-red giant tree spreading and growing in the city gave her a very familiar feeling.
This seems to be... the power of God?
"Calm down, this is the power on our side."
Facing the blood-red branches that were rushing towards them, Alicia spoke calmly. However, in reality, facing the blood-red wave that was like a tsunami, they had no way to counter it.
The speed of the wave was also extremely fast. Just as Alicia was talking to several subordinates, the blood-colored branches had already arrived in front of them.
At this distance, the girl could even see countless Honkai beasts and dead soldiers hanging on the sharp tree branches. Some of the huge Honkai beasts were not even completely dead and were still struggling.
Even more of them turned into empty shells, swaying like kites.
The scene before him looked extremely strange, but within this strangeness there was an indescribable holiness.
The next second, a blood-red wave roared past, completely engulfing the troops led by Alicia.
Uncontrollable screams of terror rang out, some people closed their eyes, and some fell to the ground, but the blood-red waves that enveloped them did not harm them. The high-speed branches accurately bypassed all of them.
Alicia also breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that these blood-colored branches were only targeting the dead soldiers and the Honkai beasts.
Is this the true power of God? It looks really scary.
But if you look closely, it's actually quite beautiful.
With this thought in mind, the girl reached out to touch the branches surrounding her. A thin branch wrapped around her wrist, and after circling around her several times, it bloomed into a beautiful flower.
Beautiful flowers, although they are still a little inferior to others.
On the rooftop of the tallest building in Changkong City, a giant blood-red tree grows endlessly, as if it can touch the end of the sky.
Mei looked at the shocking scene in front of her and was unable to come back to her senses for a long time, until the man who appeared out of nowhere waved to her.
The girl came to her senses and found Xu Nuo was surrounded by many branches and vines in the center, like a god descending to the mortal world.
"How's it going? You're not scared, are you?"
"So, you don't have to let these branches grow out of your body, right? You have to make it look like something in a horror movie. Are you trying to scare me on purpose?"
Mei was silent for a moment, and suddenly said this.
"Ahem, don't you think it looks cool to use my abilities like this? Well, actually I want you to see my true appearance, so that you can have a deeper understanding of what kind of person I am."
In response to the man's answer, the girl just rolled her eyes in annoyance.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning tore through the entire sky of Changkong City, and the accompanying intense flash of light almost burned Mei's eyes.
The girl calmed herself down, and then realized that the place where the thunder fell was none other than Qianyu Academy.
"what is that?"
"It's probably what Mebius called the Herrscher. Well, I've eaten it. It tastes pretty good."
Xu Nuo held his chin and made some assessment of the Third Herrscher.
Judging from the energy level contained in the opponent alone, the strength of this Herrscher is already very close to that of the brave guards in the Cloud Cavalry Army, which is probably the strength of Jing Yuan before he became an envoy.
From the perspective of an indigenous planet, this power is naturally very strong, but from the perspective of the entire galaxy, it is really quite ordinary.
"So fast?"
Mei has not yet recovered from the shock brought by the third level of collapse, and now Xu Nuo tells her that the third level of collapse has ended, and it took no more than ten minutes from the beginning to the end.
That extremely terrifying disaster that could bring devastating damage to human civilization, just... ended in such a trifling way?
The expression on the girl's face looked a little dazed and a little sad.
The dead will not be resurrected, and the millions who died in the collapse will never come back.
"Is there really no way... to save them?"
"You've seen me like this. The power I possess is more like a world-destroying demon king than a savior, right? If for your civilization, collapse is like a minor cold, with some pain, but at least there is hope of getting through it, then abundance is like terminal cancer, with no hope of survival at all."
Even the Immortal Boat of the past relied on the fruits of the Jianmu tree given by the pharmacist to make pills, which enabled them to master the power of abundance to a certain extent and achieve longevity. Even so, the people of the Immortal Boat were still troubled by the demonic body.
However, directly accepting the blessing of abundance will only result in being transformed into indescribable flesh and blood.
"I'm sorry... I said something willful again."
"I can help you this time, but what about next time, and the next time? I can't always help you solve the problems caused by the collapse. After all, this is a problem that your civilization needs to face. Now the collapse energy has become an integral part of your planet. All you have to do is analyze, study and finally master this power. Only in this way can you get rid of the disasters brought by the collapse and make the entire civilization leap to a higher level."
Mei lowered her head, thinking about what Xu Nuo had said. After all, she was a scientific researcher favored by Mebius, and she understood what the man meant almost instantly.
It is like ancient humans ignited fire, which brought many conveniences to civilization, but also caused countless disasters.
And now, Honkai energy is something similar to fire.
It is unrealistic to expect to completely resolve the impact of eliminating this power, and it is equally unrealistic to expect promises, because the power of abundance is thousands of times more dangerous than the power of collapse.
After all, humans can only rely on themselves.
Thinking of this, the girl raised her head, an extremely determined look appearing on her face.
Before this, the girl was still a little confused and had no clear concept.
And now, she has realized what the cause she will fight for her whole life is.
Chapter 359: Dead City
From the time the third collapse broke out to the time the blood-colored branches filled the entire Changkong City, less than ten minutes had passed.
The once modern city has now become what it is today, as if it has been abandoned for decades and is completely covered by overgrown vegetation.
