I am a hero of the former civilization.

A dense cloud of dust erupted, instantly riddling the twenty-story apartment building with holes. Even if a single fusion warrior managed to block the ice, the subsequent wind pressure blew them away, covering an area that was almost one-tenth the size of New York.

The building collapsed with a crash, dust and icy mist mingling, but that wasn't the end of it. Before the fusion warriors could even get up, the man with the gun had already charged forward.

Satellite images showed nothing except for occasional bursts of fire and collapsed buildings, which were then projected onto the Supreme Council via holographic projection.

Silence fell over the room; everyone seemed to be watching a blockbuster movie. Even the most pessimistic congressman hadn't expected the outcome to be like this.

They couldn't stop it, they couldn't stop it at all. They could only see the dust spreading towards headquarters, and they couldn't see the specific battle situation at all. All they could see were friendly forces markings disappearing rapidly.

What is unseen is the most terrifying. Not to mention the senator, even Karius's fingers trembled slightly. He knew Ryan was strong, but he did not expect him to be so powerful.

Three high-ranking fusion warriors, a dozen fusion warrior squads, and more than a dozen annihilation-type heavy mechs—this firepower configuration was more than enough to defeat the Herrscher of the Wind. As the icy blue dust spread to the outskirts of the city, some councilors finally couldn't sit still any longer.

"Stop him! At all costs!"

"That's right, what are those three monsters doing? They can't be stopped even like this, they must be in cahoots."

"Building an underground city without preparing emergency escape routes? Are you all idiots?"

Doubts and insults poured in, and no one cared about dignity anymore. They suddenly felt that this safe fortress was like a cage, and Ryan's actions were more like a Chinese proverb.

Please enter the urn!

Chapter 269 The True Colors Are Revealed!

The noise was equally deafening both above and below ground. Ryan charged forward at breakneck speed, sweeping away all obstacles in his path. This unstoppable momentum pierced through the heavy armor and went straight into the hearts of every senator.

They suddenly realized they had been deceived; the sample of Ryan's strength simulated by the supercomputer was completely worthless.

Wasn't it said that as a fusion warrior, besides being very strong in Honkai energy, he was only good at using lightning?

So what's the deal with the strong winds and ice?

Most of the councilors' plan was actually quite simple and without any malicious intent. They just wanted to lock Ryan up in the deepest place first, and then release him once they regained control of the Firemoth. If he had any grievances, he could take them out on the newly elected chief of staff.

Anyway, they can provide honor, wealth, and beautiful women. After venting, they'll just go back to doing what they were doing, because Honkai doesn't tolerate traitors.

Not to mention the unsuspecting members of parliament, Karius was also somewhat taken aback. His plan was equally simple and 'well-intentioned': to shift the blame onto these members of parliament and then step forward to play the good guy and cooperate.

Given Ryan's rationality, he would naturally believe that democracy has no value in this day and age, and in terms of prestige and ability, he is the best collaborator.

He only needs to take action against a few disobedient councilors to regain control of the Firemoth and gain strong support for Ryan's plans.

Those who want to be saviors only care about a title, don't they?

Regardless of their plans, there is one premise: Ryan must go to the deepest place, Dragon Field, to comprehend the Dao, demonstrating the power of authority over individuals.

But the situation was clearly out of control. As expected, Ryan launched a counterattack and then, unexpectedly, crushed everything.

"Gentlemen, it seems that Dr. Ryan has exceeded our expectations."

Amidst a chorus of insults, Karius was forced to speak, and as if attracting hatred, he was met with even fiercer criticism.

"What do you do for food?"

"We absolutely cannot let this monster break into headquarters, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

"This is not just one Herrscher, it's several Herrschers combined into one!"

The voices were chaotic. Everyone here was intelligent and knew that power must be kept at a distance. If a monster from an enemy country rushed in front of you, do you think power would be greater, or the executioner's blade would be faster?

"I know, everyone please calm down." The commander-in-chief nearly broke his gavel as he roared at his astonished deputy, "Kalis, activate the final plan! Expel him at all costs!"

As a formal organization, it naturally has contingency plans for all possible outcomes, and this order is very direct.

All cards must be revealed, even if it exposes the chief's stance; the fisherman clearly sensed that things were getting out of control.

That's amazing. He single-handedly threw dozens of the most powerful people in the world into a panic. If it weren't for the Herrscher, he probably would have become the emperor of humanity.

Kalis didn't dare to delay. He glanced at one of the tombstones, quickly left the conference hall, took out his communicator, and spoke very fast.

"Intelligence Department, immediately detain Dr. Mei and bring her before me. Be careful, be gentle with her."

“Dr. Damian, permission has been granted to deploy the ‘Dark Chrysalis.’ Yes, now it’s not a matter of post-war reconstruction; we must go all out.” As he spoke, he lowered his voice again:

"Just listen to this yourself. Prepare your research materials and retreat from the secret location I told you about last time."

"Are you really leaving?" A cold voice came from the other end of the communicator.

"Well, that Dr. Ryan is far beyond what's expected of him. I'm not confident I can stop him, and if he succeeds, you and those councilors will surely die. You'd better think about what to do."

Kalis did not wait for a reply and simply hung up the communication, while his adjutant hurriedly came to greet him.

"Chief of Staff, the combat command center has detected a new Honkai energy reaction, rapidly approaching." The adjutant, sweating profusely, handed over a document. "We suspect it's a Herrscher!"

A Herrscher? This drama is getting more and more interesting.

"I understand. Go ahead and prepare the Minerva. I will take command myself later."

Kalis glanced at his adjutant; according to regulations, such important intelligence should be handed directly to the chief of staff, yet he had accepted the document.

thump—

A dull thud came from above, causing the adjutant's expression to change, instantly making him stop worrying about the rules.

"Yes!"

Watching his subordinates flee in panic, a purplish-black flame appeared in Kalis's palm, eroding the intelligence into ash before he brushed the dust off his hair.

A wry smile appeared on his lips, and the councilors and members of parliament panicked.

And what about me?

......

Boom——Long——

The deafening explosion echoed in the dawn, and a frozen building crashed into the river like a meteorite, sending shockwaves tens of meters high into the air.

The fierce battle raged into the middle of the night, with more and more troops charging forward only to retreat in disarray, desperately trying to slow down the enemy's advance.

Although Ryan didn't hold back, he froze ordinary soldiers if he could. After all, fusion warriors were hard to kill, and he didn't need to leave a trail of corpses. These were all his future underlings.

The inertia of power is quite strong.

Ice fog and dust mingled together, shrouding the entire city in dark clouds. Ryan, hidden within these clouds, took a deep breath and looked down at the massive ice sculpture beneath his feet.

A burly cross-dressing man is frozen inside, his astonished expression incredibly lifelike.

"Why did you have to come all the way from Australia to cause me trouble?"

Ryan took a breath and had to admire the fighting spirit of the Fire Moth. The straight-line distance from the dock to the headquarters was only twenty or thirty kilometers, but he managed to take a whole night.

Having defeated hundreds of fusion warriors and forced Coleman and his group to retreat, they were almost there when this dead transvestite suddenly jumped out and said something about having admired them for a long time.

I'm not gay.

Ryan withdrew his gaze, still hidden in the icy mist. There were still three kilometers to go, and the last line of defense had been breached, but he had no intention of advancing any further.

I've waited so long, the main event should be here by now.

Click click click.

At that moment, he seemed to hear the sound of gears turning. After a moment's hesitation, he immediately clapped his hands together.

Walls of ice!

A massive ice sheet, over ten meters thick, appeared before them, and then with a whoosh, a thick beam of light struck it, refracting into the air.

Wherever it goes, it acts like an eraser, wiping away all the dust!

Honkai Energy Array Cannon.

Ryan's eye twitched as he saw lingering arcs of energy in the air, while the headquarters of the Firemoth in the distance had vanished.

It splits open like a flower, with something resembling a satellite antenna growing from the center. The superconducting alloy emits a red glow due to overheating.

Vilvi's big toy, no, there's an even bigger toy.

Above the array of cannons, a giant warship floated, larger than the 'Raven' Ryan had ever seen, about four or five hundred meters long. Its dark hull reflected the morning light, followed by countless gun turrets.

Is the airship completed yet? It's amazing you guys have been able to hold out until now.

A completely different feeling washed over them. Although the previous battle was intense, the fusion warriors were filled with confusion, as if they didn't know why they attacked Ryan, and it was more of a self-defense response.

But this moment was different; Ryan clearly sensed a murderous intent.

"If you come out at this time, you're obviously just looking to kill, but sorry, I've been waiting for you."

Ryan raised his hand, and the halberd transformed into a scythe. Then, seeing the front of the warship disintegrate, he turned and ran.

call out--

Another, slightly weaker array of cannons came, like a sword from the heavens, slicing through the city without restraint.

The skyscraper was cut in half, the river evaporated instantly, and the dust was cleared away in an instant. But that wasn't the end of it. The surface modules opened one after another, revealing dark electromagnetic gun emplacements and vertical missile launch silos.

Boo hoo hoo...

As if a celestial maiden were scattering flowers, the sky was instantly filled with the trails of missiles and artillery shells. This overwhelming firepower was either deflected by the power of wind or interfered with by the power of thunder, flying in all directions.

boom!

The office building on Financial Street was hit, its beautiful glass facade shattered instantly, the staircase caught fire, the bridge was pierced, and the reinforced concrete was torn apart with a hiss.

There were too many missiles, but even so, dozens of missiles chased the blue figure, and then, as they got close, the missiles broke apart, ejecting hundreds of smaller missiles.

Boom boom boom!

The dense explosions covered the sky within half a kilometer, and although it was just dawn, the fireballs bursting forth were as bright as if it were afternoon.

“The airborne carrier ‘Minerva’ truly lives up to its reputation as a weapon designed to reclaim the occupied territories.” Vinal looked up at the terrifying barrage of firepower, a hint of doubt on his weary face.

"But why don't they have any scruples at all?"

Having fought Ryan all night as a frontline commander, he realized that the man hadn't held back, but like him, he had some reservations and didn't want to cause too much damage to the city.

For example, when that terrifying ice tower fell from the sky just now, Ryan threw it into the river. He had mainly been fighting in close combat before. You could say he was conserving his energy, but the objective fact is that the damage caused by the two sides fighting for so long was not as great as the damage caused by Minerva's single round of fire.

"Lieutenant Colonel, look!" Kosmo shouted, also lying in the rubble. He had no intention of fighting his savior and had been loitering on the outside.

Without his prompting, the exhausted fusion warriors saw dozens of dark figures fly out of 'Minerva', riding on disc-like vehicles and rushing rapidly toward the area under fire.

"They're poisonous pupae. Why are they only coming out now? Shouldn't this be the task of these purge units?"

The murmurs of the fusion warriors reached Werner's ears. He shared the same doubts, knowing that if such troops had been deployed to the battlefield earlier, Ryan would never have been able to get here.
