Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

"So easy... How much more is he hiding?"

The three of them observed for a while and found that Jiang Ming seemed to be looking for something everywhere.

"What is he looking for?"

"They should be looking for the survivors, or the Valkyrie rescue team sent by destiny. But with only Lord Jiang Ming alone, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Rita was thinking while explaining the confusion to Yulandel.

"......"

"Wait! He seemed to have taken out something?"

Yulandel discovered that there was something like a core in Jiang Ming's hand.

"The Herrscher Core?"

"wrong......"

Otto was the one who knew the Herrscher Core best, so he naturally saw that it was not the Herrscher Core.

"That is... the core of the Judgment-level Honkai Beast Chiyou."

"Heaven's Fate was not recovered? No... What did he do with this core?"

"I'm afraid... he wants to use the Honkai energy emitted by this core to attract all the Honkai beasts and death warriors in the entire city."

"Is he crazy?!"

"No... Lady Yulandel, this may be the best solution at the moment."

"What did you say?"

Rita frowned, looking at the screen with her rosy eyes very seriously as she explained to Yulandel.

"Although the entire city has fallen, there are still survivors. The birth of Honkai beasts and the humans infected and killed are still a threat, but they will first appear in places with the most Honkai energy, because that will effectively enhance their strength. Lord Jiang Ming took out the Chiyou core containing a large amount of Honkai energy in order to attract all those Honkai creatures, because that can temporarily ensure the safety of some survivors, but in that case..."

"He will have to face hundreds of thousands of Honkai beasts and assassins, and there may even be some emperor-level Honkai beasts..."

"......"

"bishop!"

"I'm sorry, Youlan Dai'er, I didn't expect Jiang Ming to choose this approach, but if you want to rush over now, it will take at least five hours."

Otto sighed and looked like there was nothing he could do.

"......"

Chapter 116: One Person Calms Down the Chaos

"Oh my, it's really lively here. It looks like I'm quite popular."

Jiang Ming looked at the distance with some interest. There were countless Honkai beasts running towards him, some flying in the sky, some running on the ground.

"System, how many Honkai beasts and assassins are coming towards me?"

【….】

[About 150,000, almost all the birds in the city have come...]

“Eh——I see…”

Jiang Ming made a surprised sound, as if he did not expect there would be so many. However, the number in Siberia seemed to be much less than that during the second collapse, not even half of it. But that was true, after all, there was no Herrscher coming.

[Host, at that time, the Honkai beasts in Siberia, Destiny almost used up all the heavy missiles in the Destiny arsenal within an hour, and more than 500,000 Honkai beasts were cleared out until only 50,000 were left.]

"Hmm, so what?"

Jiang Ming couldn't stop shaking all over, and every cell in his body was in an active state at this moment. Although fighting with an opponent of similar strength could easily find out his own shortcomings, Jiang Ming still preferred to fight with a large group of lower-level Honkai beasts or dead men whose strength was far superior to his own. Fighting with them and killing them would bring him great pleasure.

【….】

[Host, you seem a little excited]

"Haha, after all, I didn't expect to attract so many people. At the beginning, I just wanted to attract as many as possible and then solve them all at once so that it would be easier to find people."

Jiang Ming smiled helplessly, as if the matter was not big enough.

[…Are you sure you can win? You’re alone.]

"What are you talking about? A year ago, I was able to defeat Judgment-level beasts, and a year later, I killed hundreds of thousands of Honkai beasts?"

[.......You may have some misunderstanding about hundreds of thousands]

"But Yulandel can kill a million Honkai beasts."

[This is totally untrue, right? And even if it really happened, it's impossible for them to fight all at once.]

"Uh... Oh, it's okay... Don't we still have you?"

【….】

[I am not omniscient and omnipotent. Compared to a system, I am more like a consciousness.]

"Oh! Consciousness......"

Jiang Ming nodded thoughtfully.

"Wouldn't that mean you can use me as a substitute? For example... you can possess me or something?"

[.......Your imagination is really rich, I can only say that you are worthy of it... Never mind, but...it is indeed possible]

“Hey hey——”

Jiang Ming let out a tone of amazement.

[But I won’t do this unless it’s a matter of life and death]

The system wanted to pour cold water on Jiang Ming, but Jiang Ming didn't seem to care and continued to ask.

"Why does it have to be a matter of life and death?"

[Because if you die, I will disappear with you]

"Ooooh! That's cool."

Jiang Ming was talking to the system while swinging his sword handsomely.

......

[Host...they are coming]

"I know this without you telling me..."

Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Ming's forehead. He stared at the densely packed Honkai beasts and assassins in the distance and swallowed to moisten his throat which was dry due to nervousness.

"System...if I really kill them all, will there be any reward?"

【….】

【Selection task has been released...】

"How stingy."

Taking another deep breath, Jiang Ming's expression gradually became serious, and he quickly rushed forward to kill.

He raised his hand to block the charge of a Thundergod-level Honkai beast, and the Eight Desolations Sword in his right hand began to condense lightning. He released lightning with his left hand to paralyze it, and then took the opportunity to grab the opponent. The terrifying force instantly threw it away, and then swung the sword in his right hand, and the Thundergod-level Honkai beast was directly thrown into a collapsed building, and the deep purple sword energy followed closely behind.

boom!

A violent explosion sounded, and the Thundergod-level Honkai beast disappeared along with the building, while the Honkai beasts and death warriors along the way were also torn into pieces by the sword energy.

A golden light flashed, and Jiang Ming disappeared from the spot in an instant. When he appeared again, he was already in mid-air. However, a continuous explosion occurred where he was originally staying the next second. It was obviously caused by a large number of crossbow-level Honkai beasts not far away.

"Master the Five Thunders and Thunderbolts!"

Jiang Ming condensed thousands of ice spears in the blink of an eye, then attached lightning to all the spears and stabbed them all around. The continuous explosions and roars told of the fierceness of the battle.

At this moment, Jiang Ming was surrounded by lightning, and like a flash of lightning, he shuttled back and forth between countless collapsed beasts and dead soldiers, killing them.

......

"Open the sword, landslide!"

After piercing through the knight-level Honkai beast in his sight with one sword, Jiang Ming began to patrol the surroundings, looking for an area that could be attacked. However, even if he swung a fierce sword energy, there were still an endless stream of Honkai beasts filling up the gap, and the desperate number of them still made him irritated.

"Hey, system, I've been killing for almost two hours, how many are left?"

[Hmm...just under 100,000.]

"Tsk, so I only killed over 50,000 in two hours?"

Jiang Ming sighed in dissatisfaction. This speed was too slow. In this case, he would have to...

"Destroy the love!"

Jiang Ming quickly entered the state of extinction, and his strength increased three times. The ground instantly cracked because of the breath released by Jiang Ming, and gradually sank. Five blue thunder seals appeared behind Jiang Ming.

"The Third Generation of Thunder Seals, the Three Sealing Techniques of the Thunder Emperor, the first of which is called Sealing the Gods."

His body was strengthened again, and with the blessing of the God, his strength increased tenfold. The ground gradually collapsed, but this was far from enough. If he could not get rid of all the collapsed creatures at once, he could only rely on showing his prowess in front of others to force himself to hold on. If he was exhausted and his body could no longer bear the side effects of showing his prowess in front of others, and there were still a large number of collapsed beasts, he would probably be doomed.

So, Jiang Ming took out the Chi You core again. The moment the living core was taken out, it began to frantically attract the Honkai energy emitted by the surrounding dead Honkai beasts and dead soldiers. The Honkai energy would not dissipate after the death of the Honkai creatures, and the Honkai energy that permeated the air naturally became the nutrients for the Chi You core.

When those Honkai creatures felt the Honkai energy which was even more powerful than before, they were like drug addicts. Without stopping at all, they rushed towards Jiang Ming's position one after another frantically. Their willingness to sacrifice heroically really made Jiang Ming sick.

Nearly 100,000 Honkai creatures surrounded Jiang Ming in just a few breaths, but most of them were humans who had been infected and turned into dead soldiers. There were also some dead soldiers standing on the bodies of giant Honkai beasts, but these lower-level Honkai creatures with little intelligence could only fight.

At the moment when a large number of Honkai beasts pounced on him, Jiang Ming stretched out his hand and grasped the Chi You core and a golden light flashed around him. The Honkai beasts all pounced in vain, but feeling the Honkai emanating from the Chi You core, they looked up at the same time.

Jiang Ming was surrounded by lightning. The dark blue, golden and purple lightning gave people a feeling of keeping away from strangers (physics).

"Dragon Emperor Nine Heavens Realm."

The aura released by Jiang Ming has affected the climate. Terrifying lightning spread across the sky, and the roaring lightning seemed to announce everything that was about to happen. Without giving the collapsed beasts time to react, Jiang Ming quickly pulled all the collapsed creatures within his sight into his territory.

The Nine Heavens Realm of the Dragon Emperor.

Jiang Ming stepped into the void, looking down at the lower-level Honkai creatures that looked like ants to him. Oh, there seemed to be one or two emperor-level Honkai beasts, but that didn't matter anymore.

"Third Generation Thunder Seal, Thunder Emperor's Three Sealing Techniques, Second is Annihilation."

The originally domineering thunder now carries an aura of destruction. Just looking at it makes people feel palpitating and have no courage to resist.

"Show your holiness before others."

Jiang Ming showed his divine power in front of people without hesitation, raising all his states to the limit. His aura surged again. Even though they were in a special space, they were still affected by Jiang Ming's terrifying power, and suddenly there was thunder and lightning.

The next second, Jiang Ming slowly stretched out his hands, destructive lightning flashed on his left hand, and corrosive black mist gradually spread on his right hand. The next second, Jiang Ming clasped his hands together and began to chant.

"Thunder in the left hand, withering in the right hand - Thunderous Annihilation Technique."

The originally blue lightning turned into a strange black color the moment it merged with the black fog. The destructive power was extremely alarming just by looking at it.

"Die."

Jiang Ming looked at the Honkai beasts below with indifference, and then blasted strange lightning downwards. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, he even continued to shrink the scope of the area, leaving them no chance of escape.

The bombing lasted for dozens of minutes, and Jiang Ming even used his divine power again during the bombing.

"Hu-hu-"

After Jiang Ming released Mie Qing and the Dragon Emperor's Nine Heavens Realm, he came out with a rapid breath. Although he was very tired, he still condensed an ice spear to support himself and observed the surroundings to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net. Jiang Ming only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that all the collapsed beasts had been dealt with.

But at this moment, a few drops of water suddenly flowed out of his arm.

"Hmm? Is it Khan......?"

Jiang Ming talked to himself as he looked at the water droplets flowing from his arm, but he quickly denied it. The reason was very simple, because it was raining heavily in the area where he was.

"No...it's the rain...but that's right."

"How could I possibly sweat fighting these guys?"

Jiang Ming smiled and opened his arms, enjoying the joy of victory.

.......

As for whether Otto and the others would notice that Jiang Ming and nearly 100,000 Honkai beasts suddenly disappeared, that should be impossible. After all, when Jiang Ming took out the Chiyou core for the second time, their monitoring devices had already been interfered with, and they had no way of observing them. Of course, it is not ruled out that Jiang Ming secretly used the erosion power of Ksitigarbha's soul and the electromagnetic field released by the Seven Thunders of Purification to interfere.

When Otto and his team's equipment returned to normal, they saw Jiang Ming standing among the wreckage of countless destroyed creatures. Seeing this scene, even those who were currently at the top of the world were deeply shocked, except for Otto, of course.

"It looks like... the crisis has been resolved."
