He looked at Alicia, and there was also confusion in Alicia's eyes. Including Kosmo, Kevin, Ying, and all the heroes who participated in the crusade against Yan Luo at that time looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Where is Yama? Where is such a big Yama? Where did he go?

Hua and Pado, who did not participate in the Sixth Collapse, and Desdobia, who had no memories, all looked at them strangely. Although Lilith did not participate, she had seen Zhu Yufeng's memories and felt a little strange about it, but soon she had a guess in her mind.

"Ah, demon... why are your expressions... so strange?" Desdobia asked without any hesitation, "Isn't it a good thing that there are no Herrschers or Emperor-level Honkai beasts?"

Hua was thoughtful after hearing this. Although she did not participate in the battle of the Sixth Great Collapse, she also knew that the Judgment-level Honkai Beast Yama appeared in the Sixth Great Collapse, because Yama was the Honkai Beast fused with Lilith. After the Fallen Angel Team was established and made many contributions, Yama was also highly discussed.

After Desdobia asked this, Hua roughly guessed what Zhu Yufeng and others were wondering about. Yan Luo did not appear here as they remembered.

Before Kevin and the others answered Desdobia's question, Lilith spoke first: "They must be wondering why there are no emperor-level or higher Houkai beasts. Because this is a large Houkai explosion with a strength above the standard. According to common sense, even if there is no Herrscher, these Houkai energies are enough to catalyze the birth of a Judgment-level Houkai beast, just like the Varuna that sank Atlantis. No Herrscher was born during that underwater Houkai."

After hearing this, Desdobia understood: "In other words... the Judgment-level Honkai Beast, or Herrscher, that was supposed to appear, disappeared as if it were invisible?"

"…You can think of it that way." Kosmo said.

While Zhu Yufeng was discussing this, the command center was also discussing the matter.

“No Herrscher or Emperor-level Honkai beasts were found? How is this possible? Is there something wrong with the instrument?”

"One team has a problem with its equipment. Could it be that other teams' equipment will also have problems? Let's wait for the detection results of other teams arriving at the central area."

"The team led by Feng can basically be regarded as the best team of the Fire Moth Chaser. They are unlikely to make any low-level mistakes. In other words, they did not find any traces of the Herrscher and the Emperor-level or higher Honkai beasts."

"Could it be that the Herrscher born this time is immune to detection by our existing instruments?"

"It's hard to say, because wasn't the Fifth Herrscher also like this before? He sneaked into our society as a human... This time there are so many survivors, isn't it a good opportunity for the Herrscher to blend in?"

"That would be troublesome..."

Mebius tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingers, her expression calm and silent. She was also wondering where the Judgment-level Honkai beast had gone.

However, the current information is insufficient and there is no way to make a judgment for the time being. She plans to wait for the results of the investigation after other teams arrive.

"In short, I think we should notify each team first. If any survivors are found in the central area, do not approach rashly, mark them, and wait until the handling of this Honkai beast is over before placing them in a unified place. If we really don't find the existence of Herrscher and Emperor-level Honkai beasts or above, the survivors in the central area should be our focus of observation in the future." Mei pushed up her glasses and said.

Although she was the youngest among everyone present, she was able to be here due to Mebius's strong recommendation and her own outstanding performance, and no one looked down on her because of her age.

Mebius voted in favor: "It's a reasonable solution."

"So be it."

"It can only be the."

The perspective returns to Zhu Yufeng.

"Search the surroundings and see if there are any survivors." Zhu Yufeng said, "And...if you encounter any survivors, don't get close for now. This is the instruction from the command center. They suspect that the Sixth Herrscher has mixed in with the survivors in the guise of a human. All survivors found in the central area are targets that need to be alerted."

Although it doesn't matter whether you get close or not, the Sixth Herrscher will not awaken at this time.

Maybe?

"I suggest that we search separately here." Lilith said, "We can divide into three groups to search. Kevin, Kosmo and Desdobia will be in one group, Paduo, Hua and Ying will be in one group, and I will be in one group with Feng and Alicia. This way, we can save some time and we don't have to worry about each group's combat effectiveness being too weak to handle emergencies."

Kevin and the others looked at each other, and then Kevin was the first to say, "I have no problem."

Kosmo glanced at Desdobia and nodded: "...a reasonable arrangement."

Others had no objections. Although Desdobia in Kevin's group didn't have enough experience and didn't have memories of her previous life, Kevin and Kosmo did. As for Pado's group, Ying and Hua were veterans like Kevin and Kosmo, not to mention that Pado herself had world-class luck. As for Zhu Yufeng's group...

I can only say that Yan Luo was really unlucky to run into this group, with three Herrschers here...

Zhu Yufeng looked at Lilith, then looked at Alysia, his eyes revealing one meaning: Isn't this what you and I should do? Shouldn't this be arranged by the captain and the deputy?

Alicia looked at Zhu Yufeng helplessly. Does she have any solution? Just as she was about to speak, Lilith had already said it... And according to her idea, Zhu Yufeng and Kevin should be in one group, and she and Lilith should be in two groups. This would be safer. However, considering Lilith's personality, it was not a good choice to let her leave her or Feng's sight.

So... Lilith's arrangement is reasonable...

"If you all have no objections, then let's distribute them as Lilith said." Zhu Yufeng said, "Be careful. If the strength of the Honkai beast exceeds the limit of your response, you should prioritize saving your own life."

This was mainly said for Desdobia to hear. He didn't have to worry about other people. Except for Pado, everyone had dealt with this kind of situation countless times, and Pado's own ability to seek benefits and avoid harm was also top-notch.

Yama, the Judgment-level Honkai Beast, is the companion Honkai Beast of the Sixth Herrscher. Yama's special ability is similar to the Sixth Herrscher's power of death, which can directly decompose and kill the target. When fighting against Yama in the previous life, the Fire Moth paid a heavy price because it did not understand Yama's special ability. Both Kevin and Alicia's teams suffered losses.

And another feature of Yanluo is that he can transfer his Honkai beast core to other Honkai beasts, thereby achieving the purpose of rebirth.

Everyone was divided into three groups and began to explore in three directions. Then other teams also began to arrive at the central area to start searching.

"Team Six, no traces of the Sixth Herrscher or Emperor-level Honkai Beasts have been found. We are now searching for any survivors."

"Team Four, we found no traces of the Sixth Herrscher or Emperor-level or higher Honkai beasts, but we found two survivors. Wait for instructions."

"Team Nine, no traces of the Sixth Herrscher or Emperor-level or higher Honkai beasts were found. One survivor was found. Waiting for instructions."

"Team Eight..."

……

Each team’s report is on the public communication channel, so Zhu Yufeng and others can hear it clearly.

After turning off the communicator, Zhu Yufeng asked in confusion: "How could Yan Luo just disappear like this?"

"It's really strange..." Alicia said, "It's impossible that the Sixth Herrscher made it..."

Alicia paused. The Sixth Herrscher asked Yan Luo to hide himself? This should have been unlikely, but...

"Yuga has always listened to you, Feng, even though he is a little naughty and likes to scare Hen." Lilith looked at Zhu Yufeng, "Because he is your companion Honkai beast. The word companion originally emphasizes the special subordinate relationship between Honkai beast and Herrscher. If there is no instruction from the Herrscher, just like when Yuga first appeared in the record, he would have destroyed a city and annihilated the troops that came to fight against him."

"Yan Luo is the companion Honkai beast of the Sixth Herrscher, so..." Alicia looked at Zhu Yufeng in surprise. No way... Seele really has memories? This... Lilith could explain that she attached herself to Feng in the form of a consciousness, but Seele had already been conquered by Kevin for several years at that time...

Could it be that her consciousness... is really stored in the Black Abyss White Flower?

"If I remember correctly, the theoretical basis of the hibernation plan is that the Herrscher core can resist the civilization reset from the end." Lilith said, "If Seele's consciousness is really stored in the Black Abyss White Flower, it is not impossible that she can resist the reset of time."

Alicia glanced at Zhu Yufeng. This guy was one step closer to the concept of the end...

"But the cores of Herrschers are all 'dead', there is no doubt about that, right?" Zhu Yufeng frowned and said, "Moreover, the Sixth Herrscher...she shouldn't be a special individual..."

Where was the humanity among the former Herrschers of Civilization except for Alicia?

"This is just my speculation. Before I meet Seele, everything is still unknown." Lilith looked around and said, "Anyway, apart from the order from the master, I can't think of any other possibility for Yan Luo's disappearance."

"Even if Seele is not a Herrscher now, just like when you, Feng, first communicated with Yuga, you didn't have the mastery at that time, or you are not an awakened Herrscher now, but you are able to command Yuga." Alicia looked at Zhu Yufeng thoughtfully and said.

Zhu Yufeng was silent. He always felt that the struggle between the pre-civilization and the collapse in his past life was basically consistent with what he knew before he traveled through time. However, after coming back this time, it seemed that many things were different from what he had imagined...

Could it be... that although he was determined to fight against fate in his previous life, he was actually being led by fate. The predetermined fate blocked his vision, making him want to fight, but he didn't pay attention to other things...

But... the setting of this problem should not change. The former Herrschers may have retained some humanity, but the biggest possibility is that their humanity will gradually disappear at a faster or slower speed and thus cannot be retained.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yufeng looked at the road ahead.

If this is the case, does the "dead" Herrscher core refer to the dead Herrscher mind? Is it possible that human mind is preserved in it?

He also remembered that in later plots, Kiana and Luhana were explained as extensions of Sirin's good and evil, and Sirin's consciousness, to a certain extent, was indeed stored in her Herrscher Core, even if that Herrscher Core was broken.

But... the process of making the Key of God itself will "kill" the core...

Forget it. His brain couldn't think of so much. He was not a scientist. If he wanted to get closer to the answer, he had to find Seele and confirm the situation.

If I remember correctly, Seele, as a disaster victim, was indeed found in the center of the Honkai outbreak, and that place... was the orphanage where she grew up.

"Let's go check out the orphanage." Zhu Yufeng said, "I noticed the orphanage in the central area before I came here. There is only one."

Because the possibility that Lilith mentioned when she mentioned Seele was so worrying, after the sixth great collapse, before arriving at the scene, Zhu Yufeng paid special attention to the location of the orphanage.

Lilith and Alicia looked at each other and agreed with Zhu Yufeng's idea.

It didn't take too much time to get to the orphanage. Among the ruins, a young girl was struggling to pull out the survivors buried under the rubble. Beside her were other surviving children helping her.

Zhu Yufeng and the others were stunned when they arrived. He and Lilith looked at each other. He was very sure that when he was investigating Seele, he had seen the information that everyone else in the orphanage where Seele was located died in the Sixth Collapse.

"Sister Seele, someone is coming!" a child said, "We have help!"

The girl turned around, and a hint of surprise appeared in her red pupils when she saw the three people coming over.

"Why is this guy here?"

Chapter 196 Seele: Are you really leaving?

Looking at Seele and the other children, Zhu Yufeng was stunned for a moment before turning on the communication device: "This is Feng, the captain of the second team. We have found a large number of survivors in the orphanage in the central area where the collapse occurred. The exact number is unknown, and there are still many children here. Waiting for instructions."

This is a necessary procedure. He can choose to save people, but he needs to report first.

The other end of the communicator was silent for a long time before speaking: "Command Center received the message. Teams 8 and 12 are heading to the orphanage. As for the children... ensure their safety first, and also pay attention to your own safety."

The Fire Moths now are not so inhumane. After all, they have not reached the point of complete despair. No one would think that a child would become a Herrscher. At this time, even the most indifferent people would also believe that children are the hope for the future of mankind.

Zhu Yufeng, Alicia and Lilith looked at each other. Alicia took the lead and walked towards the ruins of the orphanage to help rescue people. Zhu Yufeng walked towards Seele to understand the situation. Lilith looked at the reactions of the two people, shrugged her shoulders, and said self-deprecatingly: "There's really nothing we can do..."

Fire Moth Command Center.

"So far, no team has found any traces of Herrscher or Emperor-level or higher Honkai beasts." Someone said solemnly, "But this doesn't make sense at all. The level and scope of the Honkai this time have reached or even exceeded the first and second Honkai. Even if there is no Herrscher, it will be just like the previous underwater Honkai. Where are the Emperor-level or Judgment-level Honkai beasts?"

"There is no doubt that Honkai is also evolving." Mei said, "Just like the Fifth Herrscher was born before the Fifth Great Honkai, according to Lilith's description, the Fifth Herrscher has a certain degree of intelligence. Based on this, the Herrscher born this time is likely to be a Herrscher with complete intelligence."

"Does this mean that there is a possibility for us to communicate with Honkai?" someone asked, "Since the Herrscher has intelligence, there is a possibility of communication... All along, we have been studying and fighting Honkai unilaterally, and we have no effective means to understand Honkai, or to communicate with the Herrscher. If the Herrscher has intelligence..."

Mei opened her mouth, wanting to agree with this view, but there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart that stopped her, telling her that the Herrscher could not communicate...

"The premise of communication is that both parties have a bridge willing to communicate." When Mei was thinking about why she felt this way, someone said, "If Honkai itself is the enemy of mankind, as the Herrscher of Honkai's apostle, can he really have room to communicate with us?"

"Regarding this point...Among the people present here, only Dr. Mei and Dr. Mobius have conducted the most in-depth research on Honkai, right? What do you think?"

Mobius looked up at the person who kicked the ball to him. It is true that Herrscher can communicate, but the three Herrscher who are currently known to be able to communicate do not know what Honkai is, or what they are required to do. Alicia has never heard any sound, and has always been acting at will according to her will. Zhu Yufeng is simply an outsider who serves as a Herrscher. Apart from crushing Honkai, she is too lazy to think about anything else. And Lilith... This woman's words cannot be fully believed, so the information obtained from her is not very credible.

Or in other words... the biggest difference between these three Herrschers and the other Herrschers is that they have not discovered such a thing as the Herrscher Core.

In theory, the Herrscher's core is an energy body formed by the powerful Honkai energy generated by a large-scale Honkai explosion. It is the key to the birth of the Herrscher. The reason why a small-scale Honkai cannot give birth to a Herrscher is because the Honkai energy it generates is not enough to give birth to such a core.

Theoretically, the process of the birth of the Herrscher is that at the moment when the Herrscher core erupts in Honkai, the Honkai can actively seek out the bare human beings and gather in their bodies to generate the Herrscher core. This generation process also takes some time. When the Herrscher core is generated, the real Herrscher is born.

At the same time, the Herrscher Core is also the bridge connecting the Herrscher and the imaginary numbers, and is the valve for them to gain power.

But in fact, this view was overturned in the previous life. For example, the birth of the Tenth Herrscher, the Thousand Herrschers, had basically nothing to do with the occurrence of the Great Honkai. When the eleventh Herrscher, Michael, was born as a Herrscher, there was no sign that the Honkai was about to break out. After her birth, the concentration of Honkai energy within the range of the Divine Grace Barrier was almost negligible. When the eleventh Herrscher was born... it was unknown whether those people were killed by the Honkai or by the Divine Grace Barrier...

The situation at that time was that the concentration of Honkai energy in that city suddenly dropped drastically and completely lost contact, which attracted the attention of the Fire Moth, and then the existence of the Divine Grace Barrier was discovered. In other words, the eleventh Great Honkai should be more appropriately described as Anti-Honkai, after all, the eleventh Herrscher is also an Anti-Herrscher.

As for the twelfth Herrscher Bell, it was detected that she was the Herrscher body before the twelfth Great Collapse broke out, and the twelfth Great Collapse broke out after her death.

It can only be said that a large amount of Honkai energy is an important condition for forming the Herrscher core, but it may not be necessary.

What is certain is that a large amount of Honkai energy will inevitably give rise to the birth of the Herrscher, but the birth of the Herrscher does not necessarily require this condition. Zhu Yufeng's decision to absorb the Honkai energy before the birth of the End was also based on this theory, forcibly condensing the Honkai energy into his body to give birth to the Herrscher core.

From the time he was reborn until now, Mobius had frequently sought out Zhu Yufeng for experiments. Apart from verifying that his power was indeed related to the concept of time, he had never found any trace of the Herrscher Core that was supposed to exist.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that there is a possibility of communication with the sixth Herrscher Seele. If possible... Mobius really wants to study it, because Seele is at least a Herrscher that conforms to normal cognition. The other three Herrschers including Alicia are not normal at all!

No, Lilith’s thinking may be that of a normal Herrscher, but with Zhu Yufeng around.

Whether the Herrscher is an enemy of mankind or can become a friend, Mobius does not want to spend too much time on this matter, because... Alicia is Alicia, and Yu Feng is Yu Feng.

Thinking of this, Mebius said calmly, "Let's follow what Mei had envisioned at the beginning and focus on observing the survivors coming out of the central area. According to the principle of the generation of the Herrscher core that we have speculated so far, the Sixth Herrscher is likely to be hidden among them. If it is a Herrscher, her way of thinking may not be exactly the same as that of humans. She may be learning from humans, just like we are exploring Honkai, and she may also be observing humans."

"At this point, this is the only way..."

The same idea flashed through everyone's mind, which was to eliminate all the survivors in order to force the Sixth Herrscher to show up, but they all rejected it without exception.

The reason why we are human beings is because there is a bottom line for being human.

At least now it has not reached the point where we completely lose our bottom line in order to fight against Honkai.

In fact, everyone knows that Honkai and civilization go hand in hand. As civilization progresses, Honkai is also evolving. If a bridge of communication with Honkai can be established, then this seemingly endless war will have hope of ending.

The perspective returns to the orphanage.

After Zhu Yufeng cooperated with Seele to rescue an old man trapped under the rubble, other teams also rushed to the orphanage to provide support.

"It's really hard to imagine... In the center of the Honkai outbreak, there is actually a place with such a large number of survivors..." The captain of the eighth team couldn't help but be surprised after seeing the number of survivors.

"What kind of things are used to build this orphanage..." The captain of the 12th team and his team members lifted a collapsed wall and rescued a child from underneath. Then they looked at the wall and said, "Can it block the erosion of Honkai energy... No, it's unlikely to happen..."

"Captain, this child..." Her team member said hesitantly, "In addition to being seriously injured, the symptoms of Honkai energy erosion are also... very obvious."

The captain of Team 12 sighed softly upon hearing this. She looked at the other rescued children around her, and they all had some visible symptoms of Honkai energy erosion.

"Those survivors who have not been eroded by Honkai energy are the ones we really need to pay attention to," she said.

Zhu Yufeng helped the rescued old man aside and looked at Seele: "Don't you need to rest? It has been quite a while since the disaster broke out. From what I have observed, you haven't rested much during this period of time, right?"

Seele glanced at Zhu Yufeng and said, "I don't need you to care about me. Is your job to nag me here?"
