The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

"Sir Abraham, do you know what you look like now? Like a mad dog biting randomly."

As soon as these words were spoken, the meeting fell silent for an instant, and all the participants looked at the person who spoke.

"If Feng and the soldiers on the scene's arguments are not strong enough, then I think they are right. Is that strong enough?" Lionel said coldly, crossing his arms. "Sir Arabraham, as the head of the Fire-Chasing Moth in Mu Continent, I personally commanded the crusade against the Judgment-level Honkai Beast Varuna, and also participated in the command of the ongoing underwater Honkai Beast extermination operation. I said that Hathaway played a key role. She reduced the casualties of our soldiers and the scope of damage that the Seventh Herrscher could cause. Is that enough?"

Everyone else chose to remain silent. Lionel's background was not ordinary. He had been a senior officer in the military of the Mu Continent for generations. He was completely different from the civilian officials like them. In terms of status, although Lionel was younger than Abraham, Abraham was not qualified to talk too much in front of Lionel.

Lionel himself may have some serious problems, but he is not someone who is unwilling to admit reality. In his opinion, Xila did play a significant role in the encounter with the Seventh Herrscher, and he keenly realized that this technology is likely to be one of the main means for humans to fight against Honkai in the future.

He didn't speak before because he was carefully reviewing the footage of the battle. According to his judgment, the ability of the Herrscher this time was to bring extremely high temperatures, and any physical killing methods would be dissolved before touching Surya. With that kind of high temperature, ordinary people couldn't even get close to Surya. He also expressed his approval of Xila's attitude of fighting Surya at all costs as if he didn't feel any pain.

Therefore, he was even more disgusted with these guys who were talking nonsense here. The most urgent task should be to confirm the plan to attack the Seventh Herrscher, rather than discussing the fate of the warriors who successfully blocked the Seventh Herrscher.

He has truly fought against Honkai head-on, and he knows better than many of the people attending the meeting how difficult it is to fight Honkai. Last time it was the Herrscher of Death who was able to destroy and decompose the target, and the time before that it was the Herrscher of ultra-low temperature Ice, and this time the ability of the Seventh Herrscher is even higher than that of ultra-high temperature flames. The Herrschers that come after him will only be stronger than the previous ones.

In his opinion, the battle between humanity and Honkai has begun to show signs of decline. The two Herrschers before them were killed prematurely because they had not yet fully awakened, which made people feel that the Herrschers were just so-so. But what if they were fully developed?

Right now, the Seventh Herrscher is clearly heading for the worst.

The God's Key plan is indeed effective. The power of Surya's final self-explosion was so small that it did not cause much damage, which was also due to the factor of the Sixth God's Key, Black Abyss and White Flower. However, the existing Herrscher Core can only produce six God's Keys at most, and it is not certain that they can be made, or that they can find the right people to use them.

Therefore, he really wanted to know whether Mebius's plan could provide another way out for mankind.

Abraham, who was confronted by Lionel in person, choked a few times and finally chose to remain silent. He really had no right to challenge Lionel, who had really defeated Honkai, and his family had been high-ranking military officials in Mu Continent for generations. If he made a scene at that time, it would be unreasonable for him to make a scene, and it would also offend Lionel, and his future career would be completely ruined.

Mebius looked at Lionel with some surprise. He didn't expect that this guy who always found fault with Zhu Yufeng and the others in the Fire Moth and even had a sullen face when asking for leave was different from the others.

But Mebius didn't have a very deep impression of Lionel. After all, Lionel didn't come to the Fire Moth in his previous life. She only knew that Lionel was the military leader on the Mu Continent who was responsible for tracking down and fighting against the Ninth Herrscher during the Ninth Herrscher incident. This also showed that Lionel himself was quite capable. This was why Zhu Yufeng and others turned a blind eye to Lionel's words and deeds and didn't care much about them.

It's not easy to find a teammate who doesn't hold you back these days, so don't worry too much about it. In comparison, Leonard's personality is just a little bit bad, but at least he won't hold you back.

Beffinger didn't look surprised at all. He knew Lionel very well, and he had long guessed that Lionel would speak. Alas, he just couldn't go to the Fire Moth to see the daily life of Lionel and his half-sister. I heard that his sister still didn't want to communicate with him. It was really hard to have no chance to add fuel to the fire...

"Now that we have finished talking about useless nonsense, right? It's time to decide on the Seventh Herrscher's battle plan, right?" Lionel said coldly.

Australia.

Because of the man-made collapse of Xila, the top management held an emergency meeting. Zhu Yufeng, as the person who guaranteed Xila, is now in custody. In principle, Zhu Yufeng will also be observed for a period of time before the results of the discussion come out.

The key point is, “in principle.”

In fact, Zhu Yufeng was not affected at all. At most, he was repeatedly asked by the senior executives about what happened and whether he knew about the man-made collapse of Xila.

The warriors didn't have so many thoughts, especially those who participated in the battle with Uriel Gasuriya. There was no need for them to throw mud at a comrade who helped them and did not harm them. Being alive is better than dying.

Those high-level officials said it simply, that they must defend the bottom line of humanity even if it costs many casualties, and let them die? They are not the ones who will die, so they just keep saying it. Although ordinary soldiers like us know that sooner or later we will die on the battlefield against Honkai, who would be willing to die if we have a chance to live?

Besides, isn’t this girl pretty if she doesn’t turn into a monster?

Because of her dull and taciturn appearance and her fighting style at all costs, the soldiers still recognized Xila.

"I'm only worried about one thing now." A soldier said with a very serious look.

"What are you worried about? Hathaway is Mobius's subordinate after all. How could Mobius watch his people being killed by those bastards?" Another soldier said indifferently, "We have said everything we can in our confessions, even though those bastards above us often do nothing."

"Of course I think it'll be fine. If Hathaway is an enemy of humans, can she be trapped in that prison room? It's just a matter of transforming and punching." The soldier who spoke said with a strange look on his face, "What I'm worried about is whether she might also be interested in Feng? You see, she only talks to Feng when Feng appears..."

Although this warrior is not a member of the Fire Moth headquarters, Zhu Yufeng is a popular figure among the Fire Moths, and the warriors don't even care about region when gossiping about some things.

Another warrior was silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky: "At least, when we were all afraid of Hathaway's monstrous appearance, Feng was the first to stand up and be willing to vouch for Hathaway..."

"I think I can give it a light knock..."

"That's not unreasonable..."

How bored can a fire moth warrior be when he is bored.jpg

This was Zhu Yufeng’s thought as he passed by.

He had just received news from Mebius that it had been decided not to take any action against Xila for the time being, and that Xila had been arranged into his team to keep an eye on her. After all, he was the one who had guaranteed her, so naturally he would be the one to keep an eye on her. The only thing that surprised him was that Lionel actually spoke for him and Xila.

Mebius said that she had already thought of how to deal with those old guys, but Beffinger was alone in the argument, and he was very angry. Lionel also gave a lot of assists in the process. The direct result was...

After the meeting, someone was told by Beffinger that he had a heart attack and needed emergency treatment.

Why do those guys always want to pick a fight with Beffinger?

In addition, Mei took the initiative to find Mobius. At this time, Mei already had some ideas about the fusion warrior plan, and occasionally she would discuss some issues with Mobius. Now Mobius directly produced a complete product, which made Mei feel that Mobius was acting her.

However, Mei didn't care much about it, because she and Mobius still had some differences on the fusion warrior plan. It was understandable that the other party didn't want to share all the information with her, but now, she also saw the necessity of further developing the fusion warrior plan, so she approached Mobius.

The support from the Fire Moths will arrive soon, and they will work with the Australian military to conduct a large-scale search for the escaped Seventh Herrscher Uriel.

Things seem to be moving in a good direction, but for some reason, I still feel a little uneasy...

Chapter 213 Uriel: I want to negotiate!

"According to intelligence, the Seventh Herrscher has fled to this area and is hiding in the forest. Although she was injured by Maple's Black Abyss White Flower in the previous battle, she is still a Herrscher. Don't take it lightly!" Himiko whispered to her teammates, "If you encounter the Seventh Herrscher, report her location immediately and try to avoid direct combat with her. Support from other teams of the Fire Moth will arrive soon!"

After the battle with Uriel, the Fire Moth quickly supported Australia and cooperated with the Australian troops to conduct a carpet search for the traces of the Seventh Herrscher. However, just like the Fifth and Sixth Herrschers before, the Seventh Herrscher seemed to lie dormant after escaping, and the previous conventional search methods failed again.

After giving instructions to her team members, Himiko divided her team into several small teams and entered the mountainous area with the Australian troops to search for the trace of the Seventh Herrscher.

When passing by a cave, a voice suddenly came from inside the cave.

"Long time no see, Captain Himiko."

"Everyone, be on alert!" Himiya shouted, and immediately connected to the main communication channel, "This is Himiya, the Seventh Herrscher has been discovered at my current location!"

Uriel held onto the wall of the cave, pressed her chest and walked out. She glanced at Himiko's alert expression and the other soldiers' loaded weapons, and smiled helplessly: "Captain Himiko, after we parted last time, I didn't expect that when we meet again, it would be such a scene. It's really touching... isn't it?"

Himiko was silent. The Seventh Herrscher seemed to be different from the Herrschers she had met and the Herrschers in the records. She did not look like a machine that carried out the mission of Honkai. Perhaps, just as Lilith had confessed after the Fifth Herrscher incident, Honkai was constantly evolving, and its Herrschers were also evolving. The Fifth Herrscher had tried to understand the human mind, and the Sixth Herrscher, according to Kevin, had tried to simulate the human mind. Then, the Seventh Herrscher...

Himiko raised the weapon in her hand. Although she and Professor Uriel were old friends, she could not be careless in the face of Honkai. What she was more afraid of was that Uriel in front of her had already had his self-consciousness replaced by Honkai, and the one standing in front of her now was just a Herrscher who had Uriel's memories and learned Uriel's way of thinking.

She must be responsible for the future of humanity, or more recently, for the lives of the warriors around her.

She first fired a shot experimentally, and the beam of concentrated Honkai energy pierced through Uriel's body, but Uriel just groaned and did not resist at all.

"What?" Himiko was stunned, and the other warriors were also confused. Although this Herrscher seemed to be injured, why didn't he fight back at all?

"Now, can you believe me?" Uriel said with a wry smile, "Please believe me, Captain Himiko, I have no intention of being an enemy of you, or of humans."

"Then why did you attack Feng and our troops stationed in Australia? Why did you destroy the Australian research institute?" Himiko frowned. She stared at Uriel seriously, her nerves tense. Even though the other party seemed to have no hostility at the moment, she did not dare to relax at all.

"It's just a way of self-protection for me, Feng... He seems to particularly hate the Herrscher. It should be hard for the other members of the Fire Moth to imagine that a Herrscher is not their enemy, right?" Uriel looked down at his abdomen which was pierced by the light beam and said with a wry smile.

Himiko's expression didn't seem to be moved, but she didn't shoot at Uriel again. She was thinking whether Uriel's words were credible, and then she said coldly: "But according to Feng's testimony, it was you who tried to unite with Surya to kill him first."

"Because I remember that you once said that he is now the best warrior of the Fire Moth, right?" Uriel explained, "I found that I seemed to have become a Herrscher. I don't know what I should do. The first person I thought of was Feng. I wanted to confess my identity to him. If he is willing to believe me and vouch for me..."

"If you don't make any hostile moves, I believe Feng will not attack you without permission." Himiko said.

Uriel lowered his eyes. What could he say? Was it possible that the guy attacked him the moment he knew he was a Herrscher? If he hadn't anticipated this, he would have been seriously injured or even killed by him. He had no intention of giving himself time to speak.

"Have you ever seen him holding the Black Abyss White Flower when he came to meet someone?" Uriel said, "I tried to confess my identity as a Herrscher to him, but he had no intention of believing me. I could only fight back to protect myself."

"But you destroyed the research institute and severely damaged the Titan troops. This is an indisputable fact." Himiko said this, and gradually began to think in her heart. If what Uriel said was true, then Feng would be in big trouble. In this way, the losses of the Australian research institute and the guilt of those sacrificed soldiers could almost be directly traced to Feng.

It is also possible that this was Uriel's plan, and she wanted to use it to alienate the Fire Moth.

"I still say the same thing. I need to protect myself." Uriel said sincerely, "I must show my strength so that I can get bargaining chips with the Fire Moth, right? I believe that Feng is not the only one who has this idea. I am afraid that many other people are like Feng and find it difficult to accept that a Herrscher will become their companion. Therefore, during this period of escape, I also figured out that negotiations require bargaining chips, and my strength is my biggest bargaining chip."

"What nonsense!" A soldier suddenly shouted angrily and raised his gun at Uriel.

"Stop him!" Himiko immediately realized the soldier's intention. She rushed over as soon as she shouted this, and knocked the soldier to the ground at the same time as he fired, causing the trajectory of the bullet to deviate. However, the bullet still shot towards Uriel. Uriel looked calm, and the high-temperature flames destroyed the bullet before it touched her.

Upon seeing this, the other soldiers immediately tensed up again and pointed their guns at Uriel.

"Look, Captain Himiko, this is my power. I can kill everyone here, but I didn't do it because I didn't want to." Uriel said, "I really don't want to hurt you."

"Bullshit!" The soldier who was pinned down by Himiko shouted, "Honkai is the enemy of mankind! We can never coexist with a Herrscher!"

"Keep an eye on him." After Himiko gave the others an order, she turned her gaze to Uriel again, "If what you said is true, we cannot give you complete trust, but I think it is necessary to consult the higher-ups about how to deal with you."

To be honest, Himiko was not very willing to believe that the Herrschers would be willing to coexist peacefully with humans, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Uriel said. On the road of fighting against Honkai, which seemed to have no end, coexisting with Honkai might really be a way out for humans.

Therefore, even if this possibility was very small, Himiko did not dare to take the risk.

What's more, Uriel is the first Herrscher who can communicate freely with humans like this. This can also be regarded as a direct communication between humans and Honkai. Before there is any evidence to prove that Uriel really intends to be an enemy of humans, she has no right to deal with Uriel.

This is because as soon as she discovered Uriel, she opened the main communication channel, and her conversation with Uriel could be heard by other teams and even the command center.

She might be able to kill first and ask for permission later, but Uriel's friendship with her when he was a human, and Uriel's current behavior, made her hesitate. If possible, she actually wanted to...

"Ugh……"

Himiko sighed imperceptibly.

On the way to support the other teams, Zhu Yufeng's face darkened as he listened to the conversation between Uriel and Himiko in the headphones. He didn't believe a word of what Uriel said. It's not like there is no precedent for this humaneness. The Ninth Herrscher has been dormant for so long. Do you really think she is hiding in the mountains and forests? Are there places for her to hide in Mu Continent? The leader of the Tenth Herrscher is Laguiel, a senior staff member of the Fire Moth. No one noticed her identity until she was lured out by Mei's trick.

This also shows that the former Herrschers were not incapable of disguising themselves as humans. The wish that Alicia made was for a "Human Herrscher" who could understand the beauty of humans and was willing to fight for them, rather than an apostle who was carrying out a Honkai mission.

The Herrschers of the previous civilization, except for Alicia, were essentially carrying out the mission of Honkai, no matter how much they pretended to be human. For someone like Seele, no one would have thought that it was the Herrscher Core that was having an impact.

As for Uriel, a guy who no one knew when he became the seventh Herrscher, Zhu Yufeng didn't dare to believe how deeply he was influenced by him. He would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.

What's more, this guy had revealed her identity from the very beginning, and her murderous intention towards him was genuine during the previous battle. Zhu Yufeng didn't think that Uriel would have an epiphany during her escape in the past few days, so he had already guessed what Uriel wanted to do.

Uriel obviously knew about his and Alicia's identities as Herrschers, although she seemed to think that she was just an existence similar to Herrscher... But no matter what, Uriel's goal should be to destroy mankind's trust in Herrschers, just like the final counterattack of the Sixth Herrscher in the previous life!

After that, humans were no longer willing to trust the Herrschers, and Alicia became even more hesitant about her identity as a Herrscher. The Tenth Herrscher then added fuel to the fire, causing humans to no longer trust each other, and humans to no longer trust each other, which ultimately led directly to the Twelfth Herrscher incident.

"I should have shot her dead with one shot..." Zhu Yufeng whispered.

Alicia glanced at Zhu Yufeng, then lowered her eyes and said nothing. She and Zhu Yufeng had the same opinion. Zhu Yufeng did submit a report on the situation during his battle with Uriel, but he would definitely not tell her about his identity as a Herrscher. He only told her, Lilith and others about it later. This was also the reason why they all confirmed that Uriel had no intention of negotiating with humans.

If she or Lilith were there at that time, they might have been able to kill Uriel earlier...

She wanted to save more people, so she went to the concert venue in Eden to prepare in advance, but she never expected that the seventh Herrscher would be Uriel, and he was the same Herrscher body as Seele and the others... Was she deceived by her previous life's experience? Or was this the butterfly effect caused by a series of actions after their rebirth?

Now Uriel is undoubtedly preparing to destroy the trust of mankind in Herrscher. In this way, if they have to fight with the End later, the identities of Feng, himself and Lilith as Herrschers will inevitably be exposed. As for what happens after that...

"I don't mind." Lilith said calmly, "There are so many humans, there will always be some idiots with underdeveloped cerebellums and completely undeveloped brains, and there will also be people who are willing to believe in us."

Yes, when she thought everyone would be angry at her for hiding her identity as a Herrscher, they all chose to believe her without exception. Of course, there was one guy who knew it from the very beginning and trusted her unconditionally from the very beginning.

"Thanks, Lilith." Alicia smiled.

Lilith smiled back: "If I really want to express my gratitude, I hope you can call me sister~"

Alicia: "...Then forget it."

Give her back the feeling, thank you.

Soon, the order came from the Fire Moth: accept the conditions of the Seventh Herrscher and start peace talks.

There was no way he could talk about it! Even if he disobeyed orders today, he would kill Uriel as soon as he got to the scene. Even if he would most likely be exiled after that, it didn't matter. At least the World Serpent was still there, and he wouldn't be punished too harshly. At most, it would just be a note in his file.

Zhu Yufeng thought so in his heart, but at this time, Mobius' voice rang out in the communicator: "Yufeng, the Seventh Herrscher's current request is that you come to the scene to use the white flower to treat her. The damage caused by the Black Abyss can only be completely healed by the white flower. You must also pay attention to your behavior, do not be impulsive, and do not harm the Seventh Herrscher."

Zhu Yufeng slowly typed a question mark. What is Mebius doing...

"Humans always have to shed enough blood before they learn a lesson." Lilith said, "I'm afraid this order was also a decision forced by those people who tried to overthrow Mebius. The King of Mu Continent, who is addicted to playing, should also be happy to see the current situation."

The matter of Xila was forcibly suppressed thanks to the efforts of Lionel and Beffinger, but those who opposed Mebius would definitely not give up. They thought, "You create a fusion warrior, and I will win over the Herrscher." They didn't want their voice to be weakened by Mebius, and the king of Mu Continent didn't want to see Mebius's faction dominate.

Zhu Yufeng and Alicia both fell silent, and finally Zhu Yufeng replied to Mebius: "I understand."

Mebius's plan should be to make temporary concessions. If Uriel makes trouble later, this concession will become a death warrant for those who want to negotiate.

But the price will inevitably be a lot of sacrifices.

Zhu Yufeng just thought about it for a moment, and once he figured it out, it was no big deal, and he didn’t care about it.

Chapter 214: Different Paths to the Same Destination

"All the Honkai beasts around have been cleared out." Kosmo walked to a position behind Kevin and said.

Kevin's eyes were fixed on Uriel in front of him and he did not answer.

"...Kevin." Kosmo said hesitantly, "Do you think...Uriel can be trusted?"

Kevin was silent for a while, then said, "Even if she isn't, she can't make any waves."

Kosmo thought about it and it made sense. There were so many people here staring at Uriel, and Uriel was still injured by the Black Abyss and the White Flower. Only the White Flower could eliminate the damage caused by the Black Abyss. Even if the Herrscher could use the Honkai energy to repair his body, there was no way to completely eliminate the effects of the Black Abyss.

Even if Uriel wanted to fight back like he did in the previous life, they were confident that they could kill him before the situation escalated. However... Kosmo was also surprised at Uriel's thinking ability, because Himiko, who became the Seventh Herrscher in the previous life, did not have much thinking ability and was like a killing machine.

At the same time, Kosmo himself did not think that Uriel would stand on the side of humans like Alicia and the others, and even though Kosmo had not discussed Uriel's strategy of seeking peace with Mobius and the others, he had already made up his mind.
