I am a hero of the former civilization.

The Wall of Sighs was finally smashed, and ice chunks carrying embers flew everywhere. The giant finally broke free of the cage and pressed heavily forward. The Flame Law in the center of his chest remained expressionless. All that could be seen were the ice chunks shattering in the air and being blown away by the gale, forming a thick white mist that swirled around them.

They're going to pull some dirty tricks.

Six flaming greatswords slashed back and forth, erasing a large area of ​​icy mist like an eraser, but she didn't see Ryan. Instead, she saw a white-haired youth wielding an ice greatsword, charging straight at her.

The other party had a strong presence, but was as insignificant as an ant. Yan Lu instantly understood the other party's intention, and was even more puzzled.

This fusion warrior is much weaker than me, where does he get the courage to stop me?

Use inferior horses against superior horses, then use superior horses against inferior horses, let Kevin stop Yanlu, and deal with Qianlu yourself.

Ryan's idea was that simple. As for Kevin, who was now surrounded by happiness, how to deal with the overpowered Flame Law was not within the scope of consideration.

He never thought about cutting his losses to survive. He wanted to win, and to win, he had to trust Kevin, and to win, he had to trust himself!

With a whoosh, Ryan rushed toward Thousand Laws, because Kevin had changed targets without hesitation; He had just emerged from the illusory feathers.

My vision returned, and then I saw Ryan, radiating murderous intent, rushing straight towards me, filled with confusion and horror.

That powerful fusion warrior actually agreed to be cannon fodder?

Of course, Qianlu knew Kevin. The latter was strong enough to kill the top five Herrschers in a single battle, but the Seventh Herrscher was different. It was a precipitous improvement, a weapon specifically designed to deal with Ryan.

Humans are truly incomprehensible.

Despite the horror, he knew exactly what he had to do. Once the Seventh Herrscher killed Kevin first, it would be a two-on-one situation, and Kevin would lose even the chance to escape.

Feathering.

Ryan's fist pierced through the afterimage, creating a large hole in the sea. He frowned slightly, knowing that his plan had been seen through.

Herrschers are all weapons of slaughter, and are always god-like enemies.

So what if you see through me? I'll still kill you!

Thousand blades.

The wind howled, and thousands of wind blades were cutting through everything around them. Ryan had already figured out that the opponent couldn't teleport very far, so he simply covered an area equivalent to ten football fields.

Over there!

The moment it appeared, it was met with wind blades cutting through it. Ryan made a fist with his left hand, first letting the ten thousand blades pierce his heart, forcing the Herrscher to defend on the spot. He then transformed into lightning and rushed straight in front of her.

The shadows enveloped the Herrscher, and he saw the man arrive with the force of wind and thunder, raising both fists. It was too late to dodge at that moment; the fists emitted a dazzling golden light, like boxing gloves in a ring.

Charge in and unleash full firepower!

Storm strikes!

Bang bang bang bang….

The dense barrage of fists collided, creating hundreds of ripples in the sky. The two intertwined figures clashed from the sky to the sea, then broke through the waves and spread back into the sky once more.

Punches, elbow strikes, knee strikes, whip kicks, headbutts—energy was dissipating amidst the booming sounds of the air, but after a dozen seconds, the golden light of the punches was completely submerged.

"You're using John's body, even controlling it with the Herrscher's consciousness, how long do you think the excessive weight and superhuman transformation can be maintained!?"

Ryan roared like a bloodthirsty tiger, his right fist piercing through the golden coat, sending shards of stone flying. As the Herrscher was sent flying, Ryan grabbed his hand and pulled him back, delivering a powerful knee strike to his face.

boom!

His two-meter-tall body arched his back like a lobster. But that wasn't all. He slammed his elbow into his jaw, and as his body rose from the ground, a straight punch hidden under his ribs was unleashed.

Boom, boom, boom!

Each strike was like the beating of a war drum, each collision accompanied by a burst of air. The rock-hard body, harder than steel, gradually became covered with cracks, but the Herrscher's consciousness remained clear.

This body is no match for me; I've never been good at head-on combat.

Before him was a storm of attacks, and his parries were slowly losing their rhythm. There was no chance to catch his breath. He couldn't control his Honkai energy in this kind of close-quarters, rapid melee. Just like the previous wind blade bombardment, too many of them were no good either.

That's the only way.

Ryan, who was attacking furiously, paused. He felt as if his body was stuck in a spider web, or as if he had been initially eroded by the opponent. Invisible threads were pulling at his body. When he looked up again, all four eyes on his inverted triangular head were wide open, radiating a dazzling red light.

This is some kind of attack in the spiritual realm. This mutated version of the Thousand-Man Herrscher is not a possession at all. It is like a spider in another dimension, finding its target, then spitting out white silk to erode it from the soul level, and then manipulating the target like a puppet show.

There are as many as a thousand of these 'threads,' and at this moment, a hundred of them are wrapped around Ryan, pulling at his soul and halting his violent attack.

But that's far from enough. Let alone further eroding it and turning it into a puppet, even stopping the body is difficult. Ryan tensed his muscles and stepped forward, as if he could feel some threads being torn.

But Ryan, glaring angrily, didn't shout. He knew that the Herrscher wasn't that stupid, much less likely to make a mistake. The reason for self-destruction was simple—

He's going to self-destruct!

As an absolutely rational life form, the Herrscher has no survival instinct, let alone that this is only one-fifth of its life.

The cracks covering his body began to glow with golden light, and the Honkai energy surged like a runaway horse, trying to burst through his body and release all its power.

Can you withstand the self-destruction of an overweight, super-transformed high-level fusion warrior?

The four eyes were very calm, as if they could not feel any physical pain, but the next moment, their calm gaze turned to astonishment.

The same silk threads bind their bodies, vying for control of them.

how come? !

Still bound by the silk threads, Ryan raised his foot and slowly pressed down, bringing his face close to His nose, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

"Killing you was never the only way to gain power; you all—"

"I know nothing!"

Chapter 316 This is called, "Upgrading in the Midst of Battle!"

You know nothing about me.

This message is for the Herrschers, and also for the Honkai. Ryan's greatest advantage has never been his ability to unite people or his unwavering will, but rather, as an extraterrestrial being, he possesses an innate veil of mystery.

He knows the Honkai very well, while the Honkai knows nothing about him, let alone the Herrschers.

'Do you think my destiny is to plunder, to devour, or to hunt?'

Ryan laughed. He had been creating the illusion that even the most cunning person would think of devouring or plundering, believing that Ryan had absorbed the Herrscher's core or plundered the Herrscher's authority.

But he was wrong. He never needed to go through all that trouble. What he needed was understanding, connection, and exploration. As long as there were enough samples, there was no need to kill the Lawyer.

Just like now, what Ryan was waiting for was the Herrscher's desperate counterattack, what he was waiting for was that invisible thread to touch his soul. In this way, it would be enough for him to understand this authority. Even if it was far from complete, it would still be able to backfire on the Herrscher and stop that fatal blow.

Indeed, Qianlu couldn't understand the current situation at all. She only felt that this human was more terrifying than a Herrscher, and had already calculated her final blow, waiting for this opportunity.

But how is that possible? Could his ability be copying? If so, wouldn't he become more powerful the more Herrschers there are?

The massive flow of information disrupted his consciousness. Before he knew it, he had lost his best chance to break free and was stuck at the spirit realm point, staring at the other party inexplicably.

This is not the worst time yet; something even worse is yet to come!

Why is it so tenacious?

Yan Lu looked at the flames in front of him that had been frozen into ice, and tilted his head in confusion.

This human possesses over 2000 HW of Honkai energy, reaching the level of a Herrscher. They are very strong, but it is still far from enough for her.

Therefore, the Herrschers went all out from the start to annihilate this person as quickly as possible, and then ganged up on Ryan with their own kind. This way, they could win for sure, and the opponent would not even have a chance to escape.

But Kevin was too tenacious. He was crushed and knocked down again and again, but the ice never shattered. It stood in front of him like an unbreakable copper bean. His willpower had surpassed his body.

"Because you must die." Kevin opened his mouth, his internal organs almost scalded, and every word was torture.

This Herrscher is too powerful; he even needs a lot of energy to protect his internal body, otherwise he might spontaneously combust at any time.

There was a huge block of ice in front of them, but to the Fiery Giant, it was only the size of a palm.

"Boring, go to hell." The Herrscher had no intention of engaging in empty talk. With a slight wave of his hand, four enormous flaming greatswords slashed down from all angles.

With his energy depleted and physical strength at its limit, Kevin glanced at it but seemed unusually stubborn.

He climbed upwards, as if trying to annoy his opponent like a fly, but the next moment, the flaming greatsword shattered.

Thousands of fire snakes coiled around from all directions, leaving no room to dodge except for spatial abilities. The figure dodged a few times, then was entangled by the fire snakes, losing all mobility and turning into a blazing ball of yarn.

Fire Law didn't even look, only controlling the giant to continue forward, searching for Ryan's whereabouts, when he suddenly turned around.

The burning ball of yarn was being frozen, and with a 'crack', the charred youth emerged from the ice shards, his body covered in burn marks, and his greatsword of ice was as short as a dagger, but his azure eyes remained bright.

"I told you, you can't get through this!"

Each word was utterly exhausted, yet each word was as hard as steel. The Herald took a deep look, his killing intent almost tangible.

"You troublesome fly, I'll grind you to dust, leaving not a single molecule behind!!"

This wasn't so much anger as a way to make amends after plans were constantly disrupted. The surface of the blazing giant rapidly ignited, and it raised its two arms, condensing a hundred-meter-long blazing halberd, which swept over with the force of splitting the sea and destroying cities.

That's it, we can't stop it now.

A hundred-meter giant slashed down with a hundred-meter-long halberd, the air filled with winding fire snakes—what a visual spectacle! Even Kevin felt a hint of dejection and longing.

Willpower and luck have their limits, but the Seventh Herrscher has surpassed those limits, and besides, Kevin has another idea.

As long as that guy doesn't die, Mei can live a good life.

So far, I've been living a relatively happy life. With Ryan supporting humanity's survival, I don't feel that resentful, and there's no need to struggle desperately.

Kevin smiled instead, gripping his 'short sword' to meet the giant halberd, ready to die. But a black shadow was faster than the giant halberd, rushing towards him, causing him to instinctively raise his sword.

clang!

Sparks flew from the handles of the twin pistols. Kevin looked down in astonishment and saw a silver spear that cracked the pistol, which was also made of Soul Steel. Due to the great force, the spear eventually pierced through Kevin's abdomen.

This bastard... he can even steal a Herrscher's head?

Before Kevin lost consciousness, this thought flashed through his mind, and he felt his body fly backward and plunge into the deep sea with a 'plop'. At the same time, Yan Lu's eyes widened as the human was blasted away and replaced by an angelic figure.

Ok?

The giant halberd paused, her absolute rationality preventing her from slaughtering her own kind, but in that instant of hesitation, terrifying energy was released from that body.

At close range, the overweight and super-transformed superior fusion warrior exploded.

Boom——Long——

The intense light suppressed the sun in the sky, and a column of water shot straight into the heavens, but it was evaporated by the energy as it fell. Then, a violent shockwave created a tsunami, which was then ignited by flames, turning it fiery red.

In the stadium, everyone closed their eyes to the bright light, and when they opened them again, they saw a scene that looked like the end of the world.

The already dilapidated houses were instantly torn apart by the shockwave, and even tanks were blown into the air. Then came a curtain of crimson tsunami, which turned everything in its path to ashes.
