The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

This city is finished...

Although a very small number of humans still survive, they are no match for the ferocious Honkai Beasts and the tide of undead.

They are not worth mentioning.

In the end, they will all be completely destroyed, just like civilization, or become part of the destruction, acting as agents of the gods' authority.

Although the Honkai God did not descend, His power shook the world.

"Waaaaah!"

"Help..."

"Aaaaaah! Why did this happen? I don't want to die!"

Death and wailing became the sole theme of this city.

One by one, humanity fell into despair.

They didn't know what to do.

They didn't even know who to ask for help.

Their relatives and friends have all left them.

Under the pressure of the Honkai God.

In this moment of impending doom.

They had lost the will to live and the desire to escape.

They had completely given up resistance, letting their bodies turn into dust and ashes.

The extinction of human beings one by one.

In the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

Like a hurricane sweeping through, the people in the city vanished into the dust and smoke, leaving only piles of broken bones and a scene of utter devastation.

"Snap!"

One after another, black lightning bolts ripped through the void.

It brought with it a series of thunderclaps.

This is a rain of death.

This is a celestial tribulation.

This is the Honkai God punishing evil.

It does not allow anyone to blaspheme the divine authority of the gods.

"Waaaaah!"

"Help me! Help me quickly!"

"Please, please save me! I don't want to die. I don't want to die..."

This time, it wasn't just humans who died.

It also includes some intelligent mechs that were affected.

They were also affected by this destructive energy wave, and one by one they fell to the ground with a roar of steel cracking, turning into piles of unusable ruins.

The cries of both humans and machines went unanswered.

The collapse is coming, and no one can stop it.

"boom!"

The lightning in the sky continued to flash wildly, one after another, wave after wave, as if it would never stop or diminish.

Under wave after wave of lightning strikes, the city became increasingly devastated and was soon to be reduced to ruins.

Flames are burning the city.

This turned the place into a purgatory.

This is the terror of the Herrscher's arrival.

Her terror.

Her assertiveness.

Every single one of them demonstrates the majesty of the Honkai God.

Having successfully advanced from a puppet to a Herrscher, Sirin strode through the void, step by step passing over the city that was about to be conquered into ruins.

"Where did that weakling hide?"

She was searching, searching for that terrifying insect.

Kevin...

Zhu Huo Yingjie is number one.

Wielding the Key of Destruction, possessing an exceptionally powerful body resulting from a previous civilization's modification surgery...

Perhaps this insect alone is at most enough to make me afraid of being bitten.

but...

If she had come, things might have been different.

Xilin glanced around, passing over the trembling civilians, and waved her hand impatiently.

The Honkai Beasts and the zombies quickly received orders to carry out their purpose: killing and destruction.

Xilin wants to resolve everything as soon as possible; this is a promise the exchange needs to fulfill, and also a bargaining chip to gain greater power.

"God's messenger" has never been a free and unrestrained identity.

Power does not come from nowhere; destruction and death are the best ways to please the gods, and the end of civilization is the best gift to offer them.

But at the same time, this is also the greatest betrayal of her.

Sirin wasn't sure if she could defeat Kiana, who had already reached the pinnacle of power, before Kiana completely lost her temper.

So, we need to find that man who's been hiding everywhere...

"Kevin, I know you're still here. You should understand that if you don't come out, those guys are going to die here."

Of course, it doesn't really matter. Anyway, the civilization of this era was already written in the script to be wiped out completely.

And you... in my eyes, you're one of the few truly alive people.

Xilin's voice lingered in the city sky.

His clear and pleasant voice was filled with murderous intent.

Kevin, who was quietly sitting under a ruin, slowly raised his head. Through the layers of rocks, he seemed to be able to see the despicable Herrscher swaggering and issuing orders.

"It's written in the script..."

Kevin found Celine's statement incomprehensible.

So in your eyes, anything that moves or looks like a human doesn't necessarily mean it's a living person?

A peculiar thought process...

"No matter what, we have to stop her..."

Kevin knew very well what the consequences would be if he didn't fight.

However, at that moment, he received a communication from headquarters.

"Kevin, you really surprised me."

Instead of Mei's dignified and virtuous face, the mad scientist's cold and beautiful face appeared on the other end of the projection screen.

Kevin couldn't help but click his tongue, then asked bluntly, "Mébius, just as I expected. You've installed a surveillance device on me?"

"Oh dear, don't be so cold. They've been so concerned about your health. Anyway, I think you'd better come back soon."

"Why?" Kevin asked, somewhat reluctantly.

"Because according to the combat data, the Herrscher you are fighting... is constantly increasing in power, and this process is like constantly pouring water into a basin."

I can only estimate the rate at which her strength is increasing, but I cannot determine whether there is an upper limit to this increase.

You should understand what I mean, right?

Simply put, this Herrscher's strength is steadily increasing, and there's a subtle trend...

In accordance with Mebius's habit, he would retreat temporarily in such situations.

This shows just how critical the situation is...

However, Kevin did not choose to do as the other party wished.

He resolutely raised the Heavenly Fire Greatsword, preparing to deliver a devastating blow to the high and mighty divine messenger...

"Kevin, obedient children live longer, you know~ You don't really think these people's lives can compare to yours, do you?"

Mebius made no attempt to explain the consequences: "Have you considered how many people will lose the chance to be saved if you die in battle?"

Simple arithmetic problems can often become world-class challenges.

Kevin once thought about saving everyone, but unfortunately, doing so often resulted in losing more.

He once believed that human life should not be measured by cold, hard numbers.

However, the bloody reality taught him a lesson: only by making the blood flowing in his veins cold enough could he have a chance to save one or two living lives from the clutches of collapse.

"If left unchecked, the destruction this Herrscher can cause will far exceed just one or two cities."

Kevin unleashed his full power, cleaving through the molten rock with his sword: "I must defeat her completely here!"

"hehe..."

Mebius's voice stopped as the communication equipment malfunctioned.

Was she genuinely concerned about Kevin, or was she simply using reverse psychology to provoke him into a desperate gamble?

It is currently unknown.
