The other relied purely on instinct and brute force. Although he had an excellent fighting talent, he was powerless when facing the Herrscher who relied on power to be superior to him.
Fortunately, it was quite simple for them to hold on for a while.
"Yes, the Seventh Herrscher, she's my captain," Hua answered Holhaiya's question with a dejected look. "I don't know why she was chosen as the Herrscher."
That was a very sudden situation.
The team that had been exploring in depth did not encounter any Honkai beasts at all, but Himiko, who was leading the way in the front, suddenly knelt on the ground with a painful expression. At this time, a warning sounded, symbolizing that the concentration of Honkai energy had exceeded the standard.
Himiko, her savior, her most beloved captain, the person she regarded as family after the destruction of Canghai City, was eroded by the Honkai energy, and hot flames ignited on her tight black cheongsam.
Then, she became a Herrscher.
In the last moment before she became the Herrscher, she seemed to have sensed something and threw everyone out with a ferocious look on her face. When Hua met those golden eyes, he saw a trace of struggle.
It was a battle between man and God, but in the end, God devoured man's existence.
Holhaiya stroked his chin, revealing a serious expression for the first time: "This is really difficult."
Don't get me wrong, if it was just killing the Seventh Ruler, it would be a fairly simple matter for Holhaya.
The power of the Seventh Herrscher is manifested in flames, igniting half the sky in a sea of fire, which is a manifestation of her majesty. However, the essence of this ability is to manipulate the thermal motion of molecules to make it more intense.
Holhaiya's ability is internal energy conversion, which allows her to convert the energy generated by molecular movement and molecular potential energy into other energies that she understands and manipulate them.
Therefore, compared to other Herrschers who have appeared, the power of the Seventh Herrscher is naturally defeated by Holhaya. Even though the power displayed by the Seventh Herrscher at this moment is only slightly weaker than that of the Sixth Herrscher, it is easier for Holhaya to deal with her than the First Herrscher.
What troubled Holhaiya was only her identity as the Seventh Herrscher, or more precisely, the identity of her current body.
"It looks like you are in trouble and distressed?" Just as Holhaiya was hesitating, a voice sounded in Holhaiya's ears.
Hua's eyes widened because she saw a figure suddenly appear on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window. It was a graceful lady wearing Shenzhou-style clothing, concentrating on the embroidery in her hands, with her vermilion lips biting a silk thread.
Yes, projection?
Hua had seen similar technology in the Fire Moth, but it was wrong. The projection could not produce such lifelike images.
This lady gave Hua the feeling that he was living in a glass world.
"Ms. Ruan Mei!" Holhaiya stood up in surprise.
Compared to people like Mebius and Alicia who only came into contact with Ruan Mei in this era, as a creation created by Ruan Mei, Holhaiya actually knows Ruan Mei better. He also knows that what appears on the glass now is not Ruan Mei's real body, but a slice of her.
But even if it was just a slice, it was still Ruan Mei, worthy of her respect.
After describing the friendship between Ailishiya and Himiko to Ruan Mei in the mirror, Holhaiya paused and then asked, "Do you have a way to save her?"
Hearing Holhaiya's question, Hua suddenly became excited. She originally thought that her captain was dead and swallowed by the Herrscher, but from the meaning of this sentence, could she still be saved?
"Even I can't save the dead," Ruan Mei shook her head and changed the subject, "but true death didn't befall her."
For Ruan Mei, Himiko's current state is not truly dead. She has left something in the world - just like the memory that Ruan Mei once wanted to resurrect a genius.
Ruan Mei was only half successful because the genius was unwilling to resurrect.
But Himiko didn't face this risk. Her life was more complete than that genius's. Most importantly, she had the will to survive...
Kevin wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in the sky and felt tremendous pressure. However, after joining the Fire Moth, he had seen too many people die due to the Honkai Impact.
If Kevin initially joined the Fire Moth just to chase his girlfriend, then now he is a true warrior fighting for humanity.
On the other side, opposite Kevin, a few hundred meters away, Qianjie crawled out from the rubble of the ruins. His shirt had long been rotten into strips of cloth hanging on his body, and there were still traces of burns from the flames.
Qianjie simply tore off his clothes, revealing his strong chest.
Qianjie is a black household, warrior, genius, and person with super powers discovered by the Fire Moth during a large-scale collapse. In the process of fighting against the Herrscher of Ice, Qianjie killed the Herrscher instantly, and was therefore invited by the Fire Moth to join.
Sending Kevin and Qianjie shows how seriously the Fire Moth takes this collapse.
After all, the one who became the Herrscher this time was Himiko, the captain of the fifth team. If this news got out, it would definitely be a heavy blow to the reputation of the Fire Moth. Therefore, the Fire Moth asked the two of them to get rid of the Seventh Herrscher as quickly as possible.
However, the fact is that even if Kevin and Qianjie joined forces, they could not kill the Seventh Herrscher.
The power of this Herrscher is second only to the Sixth Herrscher.
Want to withdraw?
Fighting to the death knowing that you are defeated is absolutely irresponsible behavior for today's Fire Moths and human civilization, because every elite warrior is selected from among thousands of miles away.
Moreover, the nature of the Honkai disaster is that there are very few survivors. As long as we hold on for a while, the mobile forces in the rear will be able to rescue the survivors.
The inexplicable coffee shop phenomenon in the third collapse is ultimately a rare case.
The commander's order to retreat rang out in the headset.
However, before Kevin could respond, a huge black crack appeared behind the Seventh Herrscher and swallowed him up in one gulp at a speed that the Seventh Herrscher had no time to react.
From the perspective of Kevin and others, the Herrscher disappeared through the black crack.
"Is this a new ability to relocate myself?"
Chapter 72 Awakening
"Let's gather our forces and guard against possible attacks from Herrschers."
The Seventh Herrscher who disappeared out of thin air was officially named the Herrscher of Flame, and her whereabouts were unknown, leaving a shadow of doubt in the hearts of the Fire Moth and everyone else.
No one knows whether she will suddenly appear in a certain city at some point in time.
With the power she displayed in Australia—burning a suburb to the ground in less than a quarter of an hour—no one wants their city to be the place where she descends.
The Fire Moths activated the emergency plan, all posts were manned 24 hours a day, and the armies in various places were ready to attack at any time.
In this oppressive atmosphere, they were unaware that the Herrscher of Flame was no longer someone they needed to be wary of...
"Where... am I?" A white sun flashed with dazzling light, pulling her consciousness out of the chaotic tide.
She opened her eyes, but everything in front of her was blurry.
Before his sluggish thoughts could begin to function, a figure had already thrown itself into his arms.
"team leader!"
It was a familiar voice, but with a crying tone, and I could feel her trembling.
“…Hua?” He spoke hesitantly, and the person leaning on his arms burst into tears after hearing this slightly hoarse call.
A kind of cry of loss and recovery.
"Hua, don't cry." At this point, the woman with fiery red hair lying on the hospital bed reached out her hand, pressed it on Hua's head, and gently stroked her hair.
"It looks like you've recovered well." The crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor came from far away, and an ink-colored shadow came into view.
Ruan Mei held a notebook and looked at Himiko on the bed: "But, do you still remember your name?"
"Name?" She was stunned for a moment. "My name is... Himiko?"
He pondered for a moment, then blurted out a name that even he hesitated to bring out.
This is not right. Who can't even respond to his own name? Even Hua, who was lying in Himiko's arms in pain, looked over with sobs.
"Don't worry, this is normal." Ruan Mei shook her head at Hua.
"Your name is Himiko. Remember this name, and then recall what happened before: Australia, Honkai, Herrscher, and Flame."
With every word that came out of Ruan Mei's mouth, Himiko's golden pupils became brighter, her brows were tightly furrowed, and the expression on her face became more and more ferocious.
A ball of fire, Himiko seemed to see a ball of fire in front of her eyes. The flames were burning fiercely, even enveloping her body.
The scorching flames burned her body, and waves of pain rushed to her brain.
When she couldn't help wanting to scream, the burning pain quickly faded away. The flame lost its temperature and began to flow, bringing a sticky feeling that entangled between her fingers. It was blood.
It is the blood of innocent people, the blood of the dead, the blood of all the dead affected in the Seventh Collapse.
Then, in a trance, she saw a shadow walking out of the sea of blood.
At first, the shadow had no substance, until it got closer and closer, and its facial features began to appear, and it became the familiar appearance of Himiko - it was herself.
The shadow opened its mouth and spoke to Himiko...
The dazzling light emitted by the golden sun awakened Himiko's consciousness from chaos.
"team leader!"
A familiar figure fell into his arms, followed by a familiar cry.
"I..." Doubt lingered in Himiko's heart. She seemed to have seen this scene just now.
Only this time, the world before my eyes became a little clearer.
She subconsciously reached out and touched Hua's head, her fingertips touching Hua's soft hair.
"It seems like you've recovered well." It was still a familiar voice, with a "faint" feeling.
A faint sense of security and a faint smile.
Himiko turned her head and opened her eyes wide, trying to see the person clearly, and then a woman wearing a celadon cheongsam appeared in her eyes.
I still can't see his appearance clearly, but I can vaguely see the outline of his facial features.
She must have been a very pretty lady.
Himiko judged in her heart that she had seen many beautiful people, including Eden, Alicia, Mei, and herself, so her intuition told her that the person in front of her was not inferior to people of their level.
"Do you still remember your name?" It came again, the same sentence, as if I had heard it before in the situation that just happened.
Himiko opened her mouth, not knowing whether she should answer.
This time, the silence was replaced by a chuckle: "Well, it seems you have indeed recovered well."
Surprise flashed through Himiko's mind. It seemed like she was hearing these words for the first time.
"So, do you remember your name?"
"Himiko, my name is Himiko." Himiko answered affirmatively.
"Then let's do it again."
Again, what again?
After a sudden trance, the scene in front of him became completely clear, and the sounds in his ears also became clear.
"Captain!" The sobbing voice came from Hua.
"Ah! Himiko, are you awake~?" The sweet voice was from Alicia.
"Look, little one, I told you not to worry." The voice was unfamiliar, but the words were filled with confidence and... danger? Like a dagger coated in honey.
"Hello." A calm voice sounded again.
This time, Himiko saw the speaker clearly. It was just as she had expected, a very beautiful girl with a graceful and aloof temperament. She was wearing an ink-colored cheongsam and had a faint smile on her face.
In other words, she looked like she was smiling, but when you looked closely, you found that she was not smiling.
"Since this is our first meeting, I should be considered your attending physician? Hua hopes that I can save you."
"So, how do you feel now?" Ruan Mei asked.
"Not bad." Himiko replied.
"Well, next question," Ruan Mei nodded, "Do you still remember your name?"
"Of course I remember. My name is Himiko, the captain of the fifth team of the Fire Moths." Himiko said this fluently, and after a moment of silence, she spoke again.
"I was chosen by the Honkai to be the Herrscher during the Seventh Honkai. I am the Seventh Herrscher, the Herrscher of Flame. I have killed many people, many of whom I swore to protect."
"Citizens who happened to be outing nearby, personnel from the Fire Moth outpost, several members of the Fifth Squad, members of the Fire Moth expeditionary force, tourists who came to attend the Eden concert, and ordinary people living in Australia." The voice gradually became low as the narration continued.
"Although in my opinion, these things were not done by you, but the fact that you can figure this out shows that your mental state has indeed recovered very well."
"Now, you can go out. Your teammates and your friends are waiting for you." Ruan Mei raised her hand and pointed to a certain place.
Himiko looked in the direction of the finger and found that there was a mirror, and inside the mirror, there was another room with almost the same scene.
He lay on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, while Hua and Alicia stood by his bed.
"Then, is it me?" Himiko murmured to herself.
click-
At this moment, a crisp sound was heard, followed by the sound of a mirror shattering. Cracks appeared in the air in front of him, and then the scene in front of him blurred.
"Congratulations, Himiko, you have recovered well." Ruan Mei stood beside Himiko's bed, looking down at the red-haired beauty who had just opened her eyes.
