I am a hero of the former civilization.

He no longer knew whether this was courage or stupidity. Logically, shouldn't he have tried to escape under heavy guard, only to be ambushed by his prepared countermeasures and become a puppet on a string?

No, it's not just that.

He looked at the flickering figure in front of him, who was dodging and firing at the same time, killing several of his own.

This is also incomprehensible. Why would it break free from control and sever the ties of erosion? Either it was prepared in advance, or...

“I predicted your prediction.” Ryan landed on the ground, the sudden soaring singing voice entering his ears, making his fingers unconsciously start to play.

"What do you mean?"

"You think you control everything, using the world as a chessboard?" Ryan crossed his pistols, cracking his knuckles. "You think your plan is meticulous enough to manipulate the entire world at your fingertips?"

The square was filled with burning tanks, collapsed buildings, and gunfire. Red clouds rose in the distant sky, and a terrifying pressure spread across the land.

The curtain was drawn back, revealing chaos, but Ryan was not as flustered as expected, nor was the Herrscher as composed as anticipated.

"When did you first become aware of my existence? I am who I am; there is no way there could be any doubt about me."

"Although it's not quite what I understood, I knew it from the beginning." The man shrugged, still with that nonchalant attitude.

As soon as he finished speaking, his square face twitched slightly. This was clearly boasting, and even those who could see into fate would not be able to find his trace.

But the current situation is inexplicable, especially after the roar, which made the doubts even more pronounced.

Suddenly, an explosion erupted behind the stage, and a gust of wind whipped Eden's long dress, causing her to raise her hand to press down her flying hair.

The singing hadn't stopped, and the girl hadn't even turned her head. Instead, a steel arm emerged from the dust, deflecting a bullet in front of her face. Meanwhile, the makeup artist who had fired the shot in the crowd was instantly riddled with bullets.

Twenty warriors, fully equipped with annihilation gear and as tall as iron towers, stepped forward and formed an iron wall in front of Eden. Using the memories of a certain headquarters intelligence officer, the Herrscher recognized them at a glance.

A new fusion warrior squadron has quietly infiltrated from headquarters, which means...

"Do you understand now, Thousand-Man Herrscher? The world is indeed a chessboard, and those qualified to be chess players—" Ryan was done acting. He threw down his twin pistols, and his violent aura rose up along with the icy mist on the sea.

"Only me and the Honkai!"

It's him.

Fortunately, the Herrscher has no emotions, otherwise he would have been stunned by this 'surprise'. Even so, the huge amount of information made him somewhat dazed.

Why make arrangements in advance? How could he possibly know? If even I can't figure it out, who else could?

The daze could only last for a moment, because the violent killing intent was already coming straight at them!

boom! !

The ground collapsed, swelled, and shattered into countless fragments like glass.

Ryan pulled his fist out of the ground, raised his head, and looked at the pale golden figure in the sky, his expression more severe than ever before.

This Herrscher is too dangerous; it's arguably the first 'mutant' he's ever seen.

Even if the previous Herrschers increased in strength, their order and authority remained the same as in Ryan's memory, like a prophet who could make arrangements in advance. But this eighth Herrscher is completely different.

Not only did His order change, but His authority also exceeded expectations.

'It's not just about creating a thousand faces, but also about the concepts of domination and erosion. That feeling just now was about assimilment at the soul level, turning you into His puppet. It seems neither "Herrscher of a Thousand People" nor "Herrscher of Domination" quite apt.'

This is terrifying. The phrase "the preparation phase is over" was also something Ryan said to himself. It seems that the Honkai had anticipated something and began to make targeted preparations.

"So you must die!"

Ryan bent his knees, leaped into the air, stared directly at his opponent, and another hypothetical scenario became reality.

The higher the Honkai energy adaptability, the harder it is for this Herrscher to deal with. It's somewhat like the concept of 'one is all, all is one'. To control a high-level fusion warrior like John, you need to concentrate many clones, which is why he broke free.

The food prepared by Coleman couldn't satisfy Ryan's appetite, and after personally killing more than a dozen Herrscher bodies, he now had a vague feeling.

There are 'kindred spirits' in the distance; if they were standing right in front of me, I should be able to recognize them.

“It worked. You are equivalent to a hundred people, which is enough for me to understand your authority.”

Ryan rushed forward. It was a rare opportunity; otherwise, he would have to act in hundreds of similar shows. He wouldn't have time to become an Oscar-winning actor and delve into each one in depth.

Qianlu kept retreating between the buildings, forcibly suppressing the massive flow of information, his eyes locked on the man in the center of the 'spider web'.

He can perfectly control each entity, acquiring all their abilities and skills, sharing information, and synchronizing the actions of all consciousnesses. But he is also very clear that:

If even intrigues and schemes can be suppressed, how can direct combat be expected?

boom--

The tank was launched like a projectile, and a fist slammed into it, veins bulging, blasting the sixty-ton steel tank into fragments in mid-air. The flying metal fragments smashed the nearby buildings into a honeycomb pattern.

Complete control of this superior fusion warrior's power—as I suspected, losing him would also be a difficult situation for you.

Ryan waved his right hand, sweeping away the rebounding metal pieces, and then saw some black-armored soldiers emerge from all around.

These people were originally going to deal with Eden, but they obviously changed their plans at the last minute. They discovered Ryan and released bursts of even more violent Honkai energy.

Overweight and excessively variable!

Without blinking, they transformed into monsters, but the target they sensed disappeared, and by the time they locked on again, the fist was already in front of their face.

boom!

The surging Honkai energy and the powerful bodies of the Honkai Beasts were instantly reduced to minced meat.

The song reached Ryan's ears; the slightly rousing new song "Wheel of Hope" was quite fitting for the current scene, and it brought a smile to Ryan's face.

"With background music playing, you'll die an even more miserable death, won't you?"

The force of the punch pierced through an entire block, the shockwave exploding and sending people flying. Then, the punch spun in place, the whip kick swirling in the storm, and as it struck, a pale scythe swept past.

The human body and remains were split in two, and a straight crack appeared in the center of the 100-meter-high office building, slowly sliding down.

Rumbling--

A cloud of dust rose into the sky, causing the city to tremble. Then, hundreds of steel pieces flew into the sky, and electromagnetic tracks appeared, like ten thousand swords descending from the heavens.

Ryan raised his right hand and looked at the dozens of figures crawling out of the wreckage. Their levels of mutation varied, and they were roaring as they charged forward, some even reaching the point of exploding.

The best cannon fodder, but they're really ugly.

Snapped.

With a crisp snap of the fingers, the cannonballs floating in the air tilted and fell.

Boom boom boom...

The city east of the stadium was buried in dust. The Herrscher flying in the air turned around, his eyes twitching unnaturally.

Those toys created by humans were completely useless, or rather, they weren't even made to fight him. They didn't even have a chance to self-destruct before they were all annihilated.

'I need to find a way to get close. To avoid fooling me, he can't mobilize too much power.'

The Herrscher looked at the burning ocean, where icy mist stubbornly lingered, and several burning scrap metal ships floated on the surface.

Just past the port, he suddenly darted to the side, and heard the wind whistling past his ears as the sea was sliced ​​open with a straight line.

A man stands at the end of the waterline with his hands in his pockets, against the backdrop of the burning sea.

"Where are you fleeing to?"

Chapter 314 Courage, the Hymn to Humanity!

A faint singing voice echoed in the air. After entering the second movement, "Doomsday," Eden's voice sounded desperate, as if it were the lament of countless people who longed to survive but were powerless to do so.

This was a lament for humanity, but to Qianlu, it sounded like a death knell.

Protected by a whole squad of elite fusion warriors, the Dominator had no chance to assassinate Eden, let alone force Ryan back. And looking ahead, a path of destruction started from the stadium and spread to the sea.

The road was completely shattered, filled with densely packed steel bars, spanning the port and reaching the sea, its destination being a composed-looking man.

He can't get past me. After he takes care of me, he'll go after Yan Lu.

The information flashed through his mind, and faced with the current situation, he quickly made a decision:

Overweight and excessively variable!

Golden Honkai energy bloomed in the air, causing Ryan to narrow his eyes. It was the first time he had seen a high-level fusion warrior undergo excessive transformation. This thing that everyone feared was of no benefit to the enemy.

Even if He can't turn back, He can still be used as a waste, which is better than being killed by Him for nothing.

"Want to turn the tide in a 2v2 with Yanlu? Don't underestimate Kevin, he's a cheat code."

Ryan could feel the air getting even hotter, but he didn't turn around at all. He just bent down slightly, holding the long sword that Long Yin had conjured, and watched intently as the 'sunlight' dissipated.

A somewhat indescribable monster floated in mid-air. It had a pair of strong human legs, and its upper body suddenly expanded, forming a diamond-shaped body like a golden stone. Its inverted triangular head had amber eyes and waist-length wine-red hair, and two golden wings spread out.

It's a bit unusual, but it still looks quite beautiful.

Ryan first admired it, then frowned. Wasn't this the radiant angel in the shape of Eden?

He remembered John's wish, gripping the sword so tightly it clicked, and even at this moment he was guiding the mutation in the right direction, which made Ryan feel somewhat dazed.

John was Coleman's friend, but not very close to him. If this was Hua's overweight transformation, theoretically even he himself could be controlled.

"You really make me... feel a surge of murderous intent."

Ryan lightly swung his longsword, and the sea seemed to come alive, with waves swirling around the blade, forming a rapidly spinning spiral.

cut!

A hundred-meter-long water dragon roared up. As the sword blade struck down, the Herrscher didn't stand there dumbfounded. He suddenly disappeared into thin air, and a few remaining feathers were torn to shreds by the water dragon.

Using the consciousness of a Herrscher to manipulate excessive super-transformation, thereby gaining clear-headed rationality?

Ryan flicked his wrist, and the water dragon shattered with a roar, turning into ice flowers that bloomed in the air, filling every inch of space within hundreds of meters.

A human body was frozen above Ryan's head, but it broke through the ice a moment later, and its thick right leg slammed down from the air.

Ding, ding, ding.

Petals shattered one by one with tremendous force, but Ryan remained unmoved, staring intently as the thick thighs approached.

Leaving aside the fact that Honkai energy has increased several times over, John was originally a fusion warrior with a specialized physique. After becoming overweight and undergoing super transformation, he seems to have gained some spatial abilities.

Is it a second-stage mutation caused by excessive weight? Möbius should be very interested in this kind of information.

boom--

The explosion shattered the silence. Cracks had appeared on the ice sheet, which was several meters thick and could be broken with a single punch, but the 'angel' had suddenly vanished.

The sudden shift from attack to stealth was incredibly abrupt. Ryan instinctively raised his blade, unleashing a surge of violent wind pressure, and then—
