"We must do it before the situation becomes serious..." Kosmo lowered his eyes, and then tried to raise the weapon in his hand while others were not paying attention.
(Even if I will be held accountable later, exiled or simply locked up in the deepest place and cannot come out, I must kill Uriel here... I must not let Australia burn down again!)
Kosmo thought of Atlantis, which was still sinking. The helpless sinking of Atlantis could not be erased from his mind. He remembered what Feng had told him, about Feng's fight against fate in his previous life. Feng knew the fate of everyone and had been fighting for it, but in the end...
Everything still happened as fate had intended.
Even though there were twists and turns in fate, they all came back to normal in the end. The fate that Feng could change was really too small.
Of course, Feng also said at the time that this might be because he was fighting alone. Now that everyone is fighting together, the final result is naturally still unknown.
What Kosmo was worried about was the incident of the Eighth Herrscher... and that day was not far away. What he wanted to try was to wait here to see if he could change his fate.
The Sixth Herrscher incident destroyed humanity's trust in the Herrschers, and Kosmo was well aware of this. This incident disappeared when Seele's Herrscher core was taken out, but... the Seventh Herrscher Uriel's attempt to negotiate with humans made Kosmo feel a different kind of shock in his heart.
Fate is stubborn; it will appear again in a different form.
Just like now...
(I... don't want to see Desdobia leave me again. I must... transcend fate!)
But at this moment, Kosmo's raised hand was pressed down by Desdobia, and then Desdobia's low voice sounded: "Amo, what do you want to do?! This is an important peace negotiation. This is the first Herrscher who may fight side by side with us..."
"The Herrscher will never be a friend of humans!" Kosmo said this with absolute certainty, almost subconsciously.
"Amo?" Padu was startled and looked at Kosmo with some doubt. She wanted to say, Amo, are you talking too thoughtlessly this time? Brother Yufeng, Sister Aili and Sister Lilith are all Herrs, and they have been fighting side by side with us, right?
In fact, in Kosmo's heart, Zhu Yufeng and the others were not Herrschers at all. The Herrschers he identified were apostles driven by Honkai. Zhu Yufeng and the others were human beings from beginning to end and were their unquestionable comrades-in-arms.
That's why he said such words.
Kevin turned his head slightly to glance at Kosmo. In fact, as reborn people, they did not share all the information with each other, just like Mobius only told them some things and asked them to keep it secret from Zhu Yufeng. Kevin didn't know whether Velvi and Mobius discussed anything else with Zhu Yufeng.
Before the peace talks began, Mei contacted him in advance and asked him to pay attention to his own safety and not to act rashly.
Kevin didn't ask much, he knew very well what May meant. May wanted him to sit back and watch the final result happen. Kevin had some idea of why May wanted to do this. May probably thought that if what Uriel said was true, then humans would not lose out. If it was false, some resistance within the Fire Moth would disappear, and she would not lose out.
And Himiko...
Kevin glanced at Himiko not far away again. This time the seventh Herrscher had been born. It was impossible for Himiko to become a Herrscher again, right?
Ying's hand was on the hilt of her sword. Although she had not received any instructions, she had guessed what Mobius and the others wanted to do, and also guessed Zhu Yufeng's tacit approval of this. However...
She glanced at Alicia, who had a complicated expression, and Lilith, who was standing in a clever position beside Alicia. Lilith's position... was she on guard against Alicia?
"...Desdobia, don't stop me." Kosmo whispered, "Now is the best opportunity!"
"I can't possibly agree to you doing this, Amo!" Desdobia pressed Kosmo's hand harder. "You know, we can't keep fighting Honkai forever. If we can coexist with Honkai, or if we can let the Herrscher fight alongside us... humans can reduce a lot of casualties, right?"
And if Ah Mo did this, the Fire Moth would never allow him to make such a mistake. She couldn't just watch Ah Mo make a mistake!
"Even the Herrscher cannot be trusted!" Kosmo's heart gradually became anxious. He now somewhat understood Zhu Yufeng's helplessness in expressing his suffering. He knew clearly what would happen next, or what was likely to happen, but he had no way to say it.
But if he made too big a move and attracted other people's attention, he would not be able to succeed. But now Desdobia was determined not to let him move, so he really had no choice...
Kosmo shifted his gaze to Kevin, who never looked back. He then looked at Sakura, Alicia, Lilith and the others, all of them remaining silent.
(Why...why did they know what was going to happen, but...)
Alicia noticed Kosmo's gaze, sighed softly, then looked at Lilith and said, "You also think that I will choose to stop this like I did during the tragedy of restraint, right?"
"No, I just want to be on the safe side." Lilith laughed softly, "We all know that the Fusion Warrior Plan must be proposed, otherwise humans without the Stigmata will not even be able to face the End. But if the threat of Honkai to humans is not enough to make humans lower their bottom line, it will only make our subsequent struggles more and more difficult, and the little advantages we have gained before will disappear."
Alicia lowered her eyes.
Why did she do this when the tragedy of the restraints came? There were many reasons. The number of people needed to temporarily invalidate the Divine Grace Barrier was too great. And considering the trend of the Divine Grace Barrier slowly expanding, this number was also constantly changing. And if the humans who were used to fill the number of Divine Grace Barrier disappeared, how would she explain this to the surviving humans later? That would only bring them greater despair.
In addition, they couldn't afford the chance of success of the plan proposed by Weiwei.
This is only a plan that can succeed in theory. If it fails, the consequences will be even more unbearable for humanity.
They can't afford the gamble.
She thought so, and Mei, who always thought rationally, also thought so. All the fusion warriors who participated in the war were determined to die. Many of them were actually quite opposed to Vilvi's plan. They would rather die themselves than let the innocent humans they were desperately protecting lose their lives.
This was her helplessness.
Now she has long understood Zhu Yufeng's difficulties and the choice he made out of helplessness. But at that time, everyone made their choices out of helplessness. The tragedy of restraint was, is, and will be... and may still be a barrier between her and Feng.
And the choice before us now is completely different from the tragedy of constraints.
Although Alicia was conflicted about this at first, she finally agreed.
After all, she is the second of the Fire-Chasing Heroes and has been fighting against the Collapse for more than ten years. How could she not be mentally prepared?
She would feel guilty about it, but she would not ruin the plans of Mebius and others. What she was more concerned about now was whether Zhu Yufeng had completely stopped caring. After Yuga's appearance caused the death of Vincent, who had met him once, Zhu Yufeng was shaken and fell into a brief period of confusion, but...
After that, he did come to terms with it, but the direction of his thinking might not be quite right.
Forget it, guys like Feng...Kevin can be counted as one too...
As for Phyllis and Hua... maybe they don't need to understand this.
At least this time, the senior whom Hua admired, Himiko, is also safe and sound.
Kosmo saw everyone's reactions to this, and combined with the previous decision of the parliament members to try to execute Xila, after thinking for a while, he also understood their ideas. There must be sacrifices that can make humans lower their bottom line, so that the Fusion Warrior Plan can be successfully proposed, and only then... can they be qualified to face the end.
Otherwise... at that time, can they expect Feng, Alicia and Lilith, the three Herrschers, to fight the End, while the rest of them will just stand there and watch?
In other words, in the late stage of the fight against Honkai, there will be Honkai beasts everywhere. How can we deal with such a large number of Honkai beasts without launching the Fusion Warrior Plan?
(Is there nothing I can do?)
Kosmo finally gave up the plan to kill Uriel. He also figured out the key. What else could he do except give up?
Fate had stubbornly come back to him, and there was nothing he could do to stop it...
(But at least, Himiko will be fine...)
Kosmo shouldn't have been like this, but the Eighth Herrscher incident was approaching, and the vague feelings he had with Destobia in the previous life were now confirmed. He didn't want to lose Destobia, so he cared more about the so-called fate. He knew that Zhu Yufeng had changed the fate of Ying, and that he had saved himself and others in the Final Battle, but...
(Even he cannot change the fate of people who are closely related to our own fate...)
Himiko to Hana, Destovia to herself, Hen to Gracie, Klein to Mobius, Ling to Sakura...
While Kosmo was feeling complicated, Zhu Yufeng was also negotiating with Uriel.
Uriel assigned Zhu Yufeng to heal his injuries, but Zhu Yufeng directly brought Xila with him, with an expression that said, "Let's see what tricks you are going to play."
"I feel like we really can't get along." Uriel watched the black light on his hand being dispelled by the white light of the Black Abyss White Flower, and said, "After all, you have too much prejudice against Herrscher. For the next negotiation, I would rather talk to Captain Himiko."
Zhu Yufeng frowned, feeling that Uriel was a little too obsessed with Himiko. She had said before that she wanted to find Himiko, and that it was difficult for her to deal with Alicia, etc...
"Impossible. As long as you behave yourself and do nothing, it will be the same if I talk to you. Besides, the leader of this negotiation is the parliament behind me. It will be the same if it's not me." Zhu Yufeng said coldly.
He finally realized why Uriel was so obsessed with Himiko. She wanted to transform Himiko into the Seventh Herrscher! But how did she do it? If she did this in her previous life, how did the Herrscher core enter Himiko's body?
"Agree to her request." The council's order came through the headset, "Feng, you and Hathaway stand guard in the surrounding area, while Himiko will conduct the negotiations."
"I don't think there is any need to give in to her here." Zhu Yufeng tried to stop her.
"Your opinion is not important." The tone of the person on the other end of the headset became a little impatient. "Feng, you have to remember that you are a warrior of the Fire Moth. No matter how outstanding you are, you are still a warrior of the Fire Moth. You do not have the power to make decisions in this regard. Since the other party wants to negotiate with us and has shown her sincerity, we must also show our sincerity. Cooperation is a two-way process."
"I have used the Black Abyss White Flower to treat her..."
"You have overstepped the line, Feng! In the name of the council, I order you to step down immediately and give the headphones to Captain Himiko, who will take over as the person in charge of the negotiations."
Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes and asked him to remember which congressman's voice came from...
The urging voice continued to ring in his ears, and Uriel's provocative smile was also seen by him. After a moment of silence, Zhu Yufeng took off his headphones and handed them to Himiko.
He walked to Xila's side and whispered, "Keep an eye on Uriel. If she makes any unusual movements, don't worry about anything else and kill her immediately!"
The subsequent negotiations went smoothly. Uriel expressed her willingness to accept the jurisdiction of the Fire Moth Council and to remain in place and be guarded by the Fire Moths for the time being until the Fire Moths developed a drug that could suppress the power of the Herrscher based on the blood sample she provided, as a means of restraining her.
But just when everyone thought everything was over, Uriel suddenly looked at Zhu Yufeng and said with a smile: "Feng, we will be comrades fighting side by side in the future, won't you shake hands with me or something?"
Zhu Yufeng's eyes were cold, he tightened his grip on the Black Abyss and White Flower, then he took a step forward and held Uriel's hand. Suddenly at this moment, something strange happened, Uriel suddenly rushed forward, Zhu Yufeng reacted even faster and stabbed Uriel with the Black Abyss and White Flower.
"What is he doing! What did this idiot do!" A congressman who had been staring at the live video roared. The next second, he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and stared blankly at everything happening on the video in front of him.
Uriel held the tip of Heiyuan Baihua's gun, and a smile appeared on her pale face. The next moment, the power of the Herrscher of Fire broke out completely. A huge flame engulfed herself and Zhu Yufeng, and quickly spread to the surroundings.
"maple!"
Without thinking, Alicia used Honkai energy to create a crystal shield to help the people behind her block the impact of the flames. Then she and Lilith rushed into the center of the flames and caught Zhu Yufeng who was blown away.
Zhu Yufeng's arms, which were holding the Black Abyss White Flower, were carbonized, and half of his body was severely burned. The flames burned his body, and his skin was in a cycle of destruction and repair.
The flames dissipated, and Uriel disappeared from everyone's sight.
Uriel's self-explosion was weakened by the penetration of the Black Abyss and the White Flower, and Alicia helped Kevin and the others block most of the impact, so Kevin and the others were not in big trouble. As for Zhu Yufeng and the others who were not blocked, who were at the center of the explosion and took the blast head-on...
The situation is not very good.
If he hadn't used Honkai energy to protect himself, combined with his own power and the effects of the Black Abyss and White Flower, he would have been in a much worse situation. Even though he is now a Herrscher, he can't possibly face the sudden self-destruction of another Herrscher, even if she is at the end of her strength.
"Wait, Captain Himiko?"
When Uriel self-destructed, Himiko was very close to Uriel, but at this moment, she was unharmed.
The next second, the flames ignited again.
Chapter 215: Forget it, just make do with it
"Himiko...Captain?"
Hua stared blankly at the female warrior in front of him. This scene seemed like a nightmare from yesterday. There was still a fire all around, and the old friend who seemed familiar stood in front of him again in a different posture.
But... why? Didn't the Seventh Herrscher already appear? Why did Captain Himiko still become the Seventh Herrscher?
Why... Everyone tried so hard, but in the end, why couldn't Captain Himiko be saved?
"Feng! Are you okay?! Cheer up!" Kevin stood in front of Zhu Yufeng, staring at Himiko in front of him, "I'll try to see if I can hold Himiko back. You use the Black Abyss White Flower to heal first!"
Zhu Yufeng looked at the Black Abyss White Flower in his hand in silence. He had taken Uriel's final self-explosion, so how could the Black Abyss White Flower not be the same? The shell of the Black Abyss White Flower was almost completely destroyed, and the healing effect it could play was extremely limited. If he used his own power, he could still directly recover from all the injuries, but obviously...
He glanced at the other soldiers around him who were still able to fight. Like Kevin, they all chose to rush forward to fight with Himiko. Some of those whose injuries were not too serious tried to carry their more seriously injured companions away from the battlefield.
"Alixia, take Feng with you and withdraw from the battlefield. We will buy time for you!" someone shouted.
Alicia took a look at the injuries on Zhu Yufeng's body and understood Uriel's intention. Her purpose was not only to transform Himiko into the seventh Herrscher... In other words, her real purpose should be to kill Feng, or force Feng to reveal his identity as a Herrscher!
She took advantage of the trust of humans and destroyed the bond between humans and the Herrschers. Then, she severely injured Feng by self-detonating at close range, and at the same time destroyed the Black Abyss White Flower or caused it to lose most of its functions, so that Feng could not use it to heal her own injuries. In this way, Feng could only do nothing, or...
As everyone witnessed the destruction of the Black Abyss White Flower, it used its power to repair itself.
"If that's the case, you're underestimating me..." Zhu Yufeng whispered. Isn't it just half of my body that is severely burned? Anyway, as long as I have a breath left, I can hold on for a while. Mebius will always have a way to heal me, or let me hold on for a while until Weiwei repairs the Black Abyss White Flower.
As for his current physical condition, well, it's not very optimistic. At least 60% of his body is burned. It seems that no Herrscher is in a worse condition than he is now, right? After all, he hasn't unlocked his Herrscher form yet, and he is basically using his human body to resist the Seventh Herrscher's self-destruction.
But... at least I can use my power to stabilize the condition of my injuries and ensure that I don't die. If I have to explain it later, I can explain it as the same as the last treatment of Heiyuan Baihua before he was scrapped.
"All personnel, those with minor injuries, take the seriously injured and evacuate the battlefield. Don't linger in the battle." Lionel's voice rang out in the communicator. "Others, do your best to hold Himiko back. If there is really no other way, you are allowed to give up blocking the scene!"
Zhu Yufeng looked at Xila's position again. How should I put it? Xila was very close to him at that time. When Uriel self-destructed, Xila also tried to step forward and kill Uriel immediately, but everything happened too fast, and Xila also took the self-destruction of Uriel at close range.
then……
Xila is now driving the collapse and confronting Himiko head-on.
"Are you still worried about Xila? After fusing with Shesha, she is just like Mebius. She can't die unless she is beaten back to the embryonic stage." Lilith said unhappily, "Now that things have come to this, let's retreat first!"
"Himiko is indeed stronger than Uriel... Or did Uriel not absorb the Honkai energy of the Seventh Great Honkai, and is waiting for Himiko to absorb it after she awakens?" Zhu Yufeng said with a wry smile, "By the way, Alicia, can you help me get the Black Abyss White Flower? I can't use my right hand right now."
Alicia took the Black Abyss White Flower and wanted to use the power of the Black Abyss White Flower to help Zhu Yufeng with his treatment, but she also found that the Black Abyss White Flower could only help Zhu Yufeng prevent his injuries from getting worse.
At least at this stage, Zhu Yufeng has no way to join the battle.
the other side.
“Sir Lionel, do you want to escalate the situation further? We must stop Himiko here! And…”
Before the congressman could finish his words, a bullet grazed his face and hit his chair. On the screen, other congressmen who were not present but participating in the negotiations via remote video chose to remain silent.
Lionel placed the pistol on the table expressionlessly. "Sir Patrick, do you think your judgment is more in line with the current situation than mine?"
"We can't just sit there and watch Himiko..."
"Guess if I'll aim for your head next time." Lionel said impatiently, "Himiko suddenly turned into a Herrscher, and Uriel suddenly exploded. The flames have already made half of our warriors lose their ability to fight. Feng and Kuroyuki Hakuka were obviously severely injured. We have also lost the initiative and were caught off guard. In the current environment, continuing to fight will only lead to a greater loss of combat effectiveness!"
After Lionel finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Patrick, who had a grim look on his face. He shifted his gaze to the images coming from the scene, and then walked out of the meeting room. He was going to Australia to understand the situation at the front line.
Judging from the on-site images, the power displayed by Himiko is far beyond that of Uriel before. What is going on?
