"But... if you're not here, what's the point of everything?" Alicia said behind him, "Let me, let us all be entangled in this forever? Besides, you also know Lilith. If you leave before her, can you imagine what she will do?"
Zhu Yufeng was silent for a while before he said, "For me, I just want you all to live well, whether it's you or Lilith, or Paduo Kevin and the others... that's all."
He has no personal pursuits anyway, except to destroy everything.
Before entering the tent, Zhu Yufeng hesitated. He had to admit that he was really panicking before. He just wanted to make sure that Lilith was safe. Now that everything was settled, he thought again, how could the Fifth Herrscher awaken early, and it was completely different from the birth in his memory and the outbreak of collapse...
Lilith... Did she directly and subjectively promote the early awakening of the Fifth Herrscher?
But why would she...
Zhu Yufeng opened the tent and walked in. His face was still a little pale, but Lilith, whose condition had improved a lot, smiled at him.
"Why?" he asked, knowing that Lilith understood what he meant.
"Because, I also want you to take the initiative to care about me for once." Lilith said with a smile, "When I saw you coming over, I saw the look in your eyes that was worried about me, and I was really happy~"
Chapter 186: The Origin of Evil
"Vice-captain, Su Ke is about to wake up. If he finds out that we knocked him out and used the Thousand Worlds Ichijou afterwards, the captain will be in trouble too, right?"
The girl opened her eyes and looked thoughtfully at the Second God's Key in front of her, which was used for observation of the Hengsha Project. After a while, she turned and left: "Let's deal with things more cleanly. This shouldn't be a big problem for you, Beffinger, Admiral, and Roffko."
……
"I don't want it to happen again, Lilith." Zhu Yufeng looked into Lilith's eyes and said, "I admit that I care about you. There is no suspense about this, so I don't want anything to happen to you again. I don't want to see the tragedy of restraint again..."
Lilith looked at Zhu Yufeng for a long while before she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just want to see you panic for me once, and take the initiative to care about me like this once, that's all... Since I got what I wanted, there won't be a next time... One trick is always enough, if you do it more than once, it will only make people feel bored and disgusted..."
Zhu Yufeng was silent for a moment before he spoke softly, "How did you... kill the Fifth Herrscher?"
"She hasn't fully awakened yet. To put it in a metaphor, she's still in her infancy and hasn't yet reached the point where she can fully unleash all of hers-ruler authority." Lilith said, "Also, don't underestimate me. To some extent, I may be the same as Alicia~"
Zhu Yufeng narrowed his eyes. He was very clear about what Lilith said. This was also his initial guess about Lilith's identity as a Herrscher. The Origin Twins, the good and evil of human beings... However, he was still surprised to hear this news from Lilith's mouth.
Because he had discussed this with Mobius, and Mobius directly denied his idea. If Lilith and Alicia were the same being, both Herrscher of the Origin, then Mobius would have noticed it when he checked Lilith at the beginning, instead of waiting until the next check after this rebirth to be discovered by Mobius.
"So far, considering all the time we have experienced, do humans... really understand what a Herrscher is?" Lilith asked, "Or, what is Honkai?"
What is a lawyer?
What is collapse?
According to the information we know so far, all the Herrschers who appeared are just projections of the Cocoon of the End at different times, and the Cocoon of the End is a valve connected to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. The Collapse was initially considered a natural disaster, then a civilization screening mechanism, and finally Mei proposed the idea that "all stars are enemies"...
To sum up, Zhu Yufeng doesn’t know what Honkai Impact 3rd is.
"How ironic..." Lilith smiled as if she was mocking herself, then leaned back and continued, "Alisa has been wavering between being human and non-human all her life. She fought for humanity, but in the fight against Honkai, she gradually doubted herself... In the end, she let it go and realized that she was both a human and a Herrscher..."
Zhu Yufeng looked at Lilith, not quite understanding what she wanted to express.
"And I..." Lilith looked at her hands, "I hate the boredom of humans, and the noise of this world, but... I accept my identity as a human, and never doubt it... Those who like humans are entangled in their own identities, and those who hate humans have never questioned their own identities... Isn't this ironic?"
"Even if what you said is true, Herrschers are naturally different from humans under the control of Honkai energy. Have you really never doubted your identity since you were a child?" Zhu Yufeng questioned. "Moreover, Mobius also said that when you were about to undergo the fusion warrior surgery, she did not find any abnormalities in your routine examination."
"Before I came into contact with Honkai, before I understood this knowledge, do you think I could come up with a system out of thin air, and imagine concepts like Herrscher and Honkai beast out of thin air?" Lilith said with empty eyes, "No matter how smart a person is, his cognition determines his vision, and his vision determines his world. No one can imagine concepts he has never come into contact with out of thin air when he knows nothing. Even if he can imagine it, he may not think it is true, right?"
Zhu Yufeng was silent. This... seemed to make sense...
Lilith's eyes passed Zhu Yufeng and fell outside the tent. She said, "Ailishiya, there's no need for you to stand outside the tent and eavesdrop, right?"
The tent was opened, and Alicia looked at Lilith with a strange expression. She was really just eavesdropping because she was curious about what Lilith and Feng were talking about. This... It was normal to want to listen to the conversation between the boy she liked and her number one rival, wasn't it? As a result, she heard a bombshell. Lilith seemed to think that she was also a Herrscher of Origin?
Zhu Yufeng looked back at Alicia, then at Lilith, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "But, you are the eldest daughter of the Atagina family. Whether it is the birth record on that day or other information, you can find it. You are completely a human being..."
"Yes, everything points to me being a human, so even after I joined the Fire Moth and learned about Honkai, I still didn't question my human identity." Lilith shrugged, "The existence of the Herrscher... is actually quite idealistic, isn't it? There's no point in talking too much, so let's prove it in practice."
Lilith stretched out her left hand, then opened it, and a flower made of pale flames bloomed in her hand.
Speaking of flowers... Zhu Yufeng glanced at Alicia. It seemed that Alicia could also make a crystal flower easily?
Alicia: "..."
This... Lilith said before that she looked at me like a younger sister. If Lilith is really the Ruler of the Origin like me, then wouldn't she really be my sister?
Alicia would rather believe that because of this rebirth, Lilith and herself shared her original power equally...
Although she really wanted to have relatives, she should forget about having relatives like Lilith who would only make her have high blood pressure every day...
Alicia thought so, she looked at Zhu Yufeng, hoping that he would give some reason to refute Lilith, but Zhu Yufeng thought for a while and said: "If I remember correctly, this ability was originally acquired after you completed the fusion warrior surgery, right?"
"Hmm~" Lilith smiled.
Originally, this ability was acquired after completing the fusion warrior surgery, but now it is acquired after rebirth. In addition, Lilith is now a Herrscher...
It seems that the truth is slapping people in the face...
"In fact, when I was young, I also felt that I was somewhat out of tune with other people. I didn't like them, I disliked them, but... I never felt that I didn't belong to the human race..." Lilith recalled, "Then I got used to it... Alicia has been entangled with Honkai since the beginning, whether it was the repeated investigations of Vostok-51 by the Fire Moths, or your subsequent joining of the Fire Moths... As the eldest daughter of the Atajina family, I had no way of being exposed to these things..."
After a long silence, Zhu Yufeng spoke again: "Assuming that what you said is true, and you are also Siwon... then why, from what I know of the story..."
"Because if I hadn't met you, I would have died long ago, before I came into contact with Honkai." Lilith chuckled and said, "From beginning to end, I will not have any intersection with the Fire Moth and Honkai, and therefore, I will not awaken."
Zhu Yufeng was stunned.
"I have used the Thousand Worlds and One Vehicle to observe myself in other worlds. Although the situations of humans fighting against the collapse in different worlds are different, the other me's I observed basically committed suicide early because they were bored with the world." Lilith looked into Zhu Yufeng's eyes. "If the collapse had not happened on the day I met you, I would have been ready to drag everyone else to death with me."
Then the Honkai Impact occurred, and she thought of using it to escape the cage that the surname "Atagina" Pi brought her into.
"If I hadn't met you, I would have been discovered by other Fire Moth rescuers. Do you think... they would have sat back and watched like you, or even helped cover it up?" Lilith said jokingly.
Zhu Yufeng was silent for a while before he spoke: "When did you use the Thousand Realms One Vehicle?"
He had no impression at all...
Alicia nodded as well. She had no recollection of this either. After the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle was created, it was basically only Su who used it. No one else was allowed to use it unless Su agreed. And Su had always been inexplicably wary of the Fallen Angel Team...
"Oh, I knocked him out, and asked Beffinger, Admiral, and Rolfko to do something." Lilith explained lightly, "Of course, because Su's perception ability is very strong, before that, I asked Beffinger to interfere with his perception first, and Admiral and Rolfko helped to temporarily cut off the connection between the area where Su was and the outside world."
Zhu Yufeng & Alicia: "..."
So that's how it is... In order to use the One Thousand Worlds, three fallen angels were mobilized. A total of four fallen angels, including Lilith, attacked a powerless scientific researcher... Anyway, let's mourn for Su for a second...
There is a big difference between the Fallen Angel Squad and the Fourteen Heroes that were established later. The Fourteen Heroes were established because only these fusion warriors were left after they died, while the thirteen Fallen Angels in the Fallen Angel Squad were a regular anti-Honkai combat team established by the Fire Moth. Each of them had fought head-on against the Honkai on the frontal battlefield and had rich experience in team combat...
This can be seen from the fact that since the establishment of the Yingjie system, all fourteen Yingjies have never been present together, let alone a single joint operation.
Basically, everyone fights on their own, team fighting? What is that?
"Then why do you feel like a Herrscher this time?" After Zhu Yufeng finished mourning for Su in his heart, he asked another question.
"I was just guessing at first. After all, my vision is limited. Before reading your memory, I had never thought about these things. Only after reading it did I have some ideas..." Lilith spread her hands and said, "I said that when I began to question my human identity, changes began to occur. This time it was just a test of my current state. I played with that guy for a little longer, otherwise, the battle might have ended earlier."
Zhu Yufeng was thoughtful: "So I haven't been able to skillfully use my power yet. Is it because I still think I am a human? Or am I not mentally prepared for it?"
"No, I think it's more likely that it's because your power hasn't awakened yet." Lilith said speechlessly, "Although you do think you are a human, but in your heart you don't care whether you are a human or a Herrscher now. Either one will not affect your fight against Honkai."
Zhu Yufeng looked up at the sky...at the top of the tent. He still felt a little embarrassed when his inner thoughts were spoken so bluntly.
Lilith must know me too well. No wonder she always controls me so tightly that I have no way to counterattack...
Alicia: "..."
This is an enviable tacit understanding...
Zhu Yufeng came back to his senses and said speechlessly: "I thought I was a human, and then I really became a human. I thought I might be a Herrscher, and then I really became a Herrscher... Isn't this a bit... too outrageous?"
"It is also possible that the existence that created us wanted to give the world a chance. Our choice is the choice of collapse." Lilith said, "As a result, two Herrschers with humanity, one chose to commit suicide because he disliked humans too much and felt bored, and the other chose to commit suicide because he loved humans too much and for the future of mankind..."
Zhu Yufeng: “…”
There were so many things to complain about that he didn't know where to start.
"Wait, if you are also a Herrscher like me, then..." Alicia objected, "You and I should have the same power..."
"You gave the Herrscher of the next era a chance to choose." Lilith looked at Zhu Yufeng, "And is it possible that the opportunity for Feng to become a Herrscher and still fight alongside Kevin and the others was given by me?"
Because the opportunity you give is for the next era, what does it have to do with this era?
Alicia: “?”
"Just kidding. I wasn't dead yet at that time. I was always with Feng, so it must have something to do with you." Lilith wanted to laugh when she saw Alicia's expression. She was more inclined to believe that Zhu Yufeng first used Vishnu's characteristics to devour her body and gained the qualification to become a Herrscher. Alicia's return to Honkai gave him the opportunity to truly become a Herrscher and retain his human thinking.
But seeing Alicia being humiliated, she was really happy~
Alicia realized that she was being teased by Lilith, and said angrily: "These are just your guesses at the moment. I was wondering if it is possible that my power was divided equally by you?"
"Who knows? Anyway, this is all our guess, and it's not something we are responsible for thinking about. Let Mebius and Velvet shed their hair." Lilith said jokingly, "At least the clear conclusion for now is that I should be the Herrscher in the opposite position of you."
A certain Wei Wei who was eavesdropping: "..."
Lilith, are you polite?
Chapter 187 Today's Young People
"Strictly speaking, my main professional direction is still in the field of mechanical engineering. When it comes to the existence of Honkai creatures such as the Herrscher, you are more proficient in it, Dr. Mobius, who has been famous for a long time and has achieved fruitful research~" Velvet said with a smile as she looked at Mobius who had a gloomy face in front of her.
"Vilvi..." Mebius clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to resist the urge to smash the documents in his hand on Velvi's face.
Just now, Weiwei came to her and told her the content of the conversation between Lilith and others, as well as the information that Lilith killed the Fifth Herrscher alone.
Whether it is Lilith's guess that she is also the Herrscher of Origin, or why the Fifth Herrscher appeared in advance, these are questions worth thinking about...
"There's no need to worry about the origin issue for now." Mobius calmed himself down and said, "Hen will be in charge of the construction of the lunar base. This time we may be able to obtain some other information on the moon... The early appearance of the Fifth Herrscher is not without precedent, and the same is true for the Ninth Herrscher..."
According to their speculation, the final civilization reset ability can be offset by the effect of the God's Key, so Wei Wei transformed the fifth God's Key into a dormant state for all things to assist the last human beings to enter the hibernation state until the next era .
But... the fact before them is that this reset seems to be a complete reset of the entire world. Everything they have experienced before and everything left for the next era, no trace remains.
The reason why they can conclude that the reset ability of the end is not complete is that they have found relics left by the previous civilization on the moon and other places on the earth. If the reset of the end is a complete reset of time and space, all of this should not be left behind.
If what Hen discovered on the moon this time was still the same as in his previous life...
Then there will be more things to think about.
"Forget it, it's just a little more work... Many experimental results were already known before." Mobius thought to himself.
The end and the beginning...
This is Zhu Yufeng's side.
"So, you discovered the abnormality of the Herrscher, and after you raised the question, the other party did not hide it and prepared to kill you to silence you?" Hen asked while sitting in front of Lilith, and Zhu Yufeng was also dragged over by Hen to take a statement. Of course, Alysia was also there.
"Yes, but perhaps because she is still in her infancy or has not yet fully awakened, her control over power is weaker than the Herrschers I have seen in the records before." Lilith said, "Also, from what I have seen, her power is related to the concept of ice. In addition, during the battle, she seems to be gradually learning to use her power skillfully. I think luck played a big role in our ability to kill her this time."
Hen glanced at Zhu Yufeng who was silently taking notes, then looked at Alicia who seemed to be concentrating on the notes Zhu Yufeng was writing, and then said, "There is no need to belittle yourself. We have all witnessed your training results in the Fire Chaser. Luck is important, but when opportunities are in front of you, strength is the determining factor in whether you can seize them. If it were someone else, they might have turned into an ice sculpture."
The explanation given by Lilith was reasonable. First of all, the Herrscher had not fully awakened and was not proficient in the use of power. She did not defeat the Herrscher easily, but fought with the Herrscher for a while and then seized the Herrscher's flaw to kill him. At the same time, she was also affected by hypothermia caused by the ultra-low temperature environment.
As for killing the Herrscher alone...
He glanced at Alicia without leaving a trace. Zhu Yufeng did have a record of killing the third and fourth Herrs, but the former was the result of a joint action, and the latter was because Qianjie was in the front to attract firepower. So if we really want to say who has the ability and record to kill a Herrscher alone, besides Lilith now, it is Alicia.
In Hen's heart, Qianjie was also a warrior who had the ability to kill a Herrscher alone, but he was too reckless and didn't think twice, and his body seemed different from that of normal people, with unimaginable recovery abilities.
The investigation into Qianjie's body and identity was initially handled by Mebius, and then transferred to Admiral, deputy director of the Third Institute.
Hen couldn't help but look at Zhu Yufeng again. Based on the identification result of the Herrscher core obtained by Lilith, there was no doubt that Lilith had killed the fifth Herrscher alone, even though that was just a Herrscher that had not yet fully awakened. However... he still had to complain that the girls around this guy were all not simple. Even the most ordinary-looking Pado was much better than Zhu Yufeng and his group of monsters and the other warriors in the Fire Moth.
"Young people nowadays..." Hen sighed helplessly in his heart, "Sometimes they really make things difficult for us seniors..."
"Okay, now we have a general understanding of the process. You should also pay attention to your health and don't develop any chronic illness." Hen stood up and said, then prepared to walk out.
Zhu Yufeng also put away his notebook and prepared to leave with Hen. At this time, Lilith suddenly said, "Can you please make me a special portion of dinner tonight, Feng? I like your cooking better."
Zhu Yufeng didn't think too much: "Okay."
Hen's hand froze just as he was about to lift the tent. Does this kid really not understand or is he pretending not to understand?
But... Lilith is injured now, so it is reasonable to make a request, at least it is not excessive... Hey, Alicia, you have to cheer up!
Alicia looked at Lilith with empty eyes, and Lilith spread her hands with an innocent look.
After Zhu Yufeng came out of the tent, Kevin, who was waiting outside, saw him heading towards the kitchen and asked, "Are you going to cook for yourself?"
"After all, Lilith has spoken. I don't have anything to do next anyway, so I'll just do what I can." Zhu Yufeng looked at Kevin, "Are you free now?"
Kevin looked in the direction of the tent and said, "Does she... have the power of awakening?"
"Let's leave the rest of the matter to professionals like Mobius and Vilvi. It's useless for people like us to think too much." Zhu Yufeng said, "Have Kosmo and the others already set off?"
Kevin nodded.
Kosmo's side.
