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

Extra: Tragedy of Constraint

"Mom, I'm scared..." The little girl hugged her mother nervously.

"Don't be afraid... They are all heroes, heroes who protect us..." The mother reached out and hugged her child, "They are heroes who have always protected us. What is there to be afraid of?"

"Feng, we haven't received any combat orders. Why do you want us to gather civilians in such a hurry?" A non-commissioned officer asked the leader of the thirteen fallen angels.

Zhu Yufeng looked at Beffinger.

"There's nothing I can do. In a hurry, there will always be one or two kittens and puppies that can escape my mind control." Beffinger smiled helplessly.

"Wait, do you want to..."

"Please gather everyone and set off with us." Beffinger said to the sergeant with a smile.

At that moment, the sergeant's eyes lost their brightness, he nodded mechanically, and then walked towards the crowd.

Zhu Yufeng turned his indifferent gaze away from the sergeant and looked at Luo Fukou: "Based on the number of people we can currently gather, can we reach the upper limit of the God's Grace barrier?"

Luo Fukou looked at the bewildered crowd, thought for a moment and said, "Although this exceeds the upper limit of the number of people calculated by Wei Wei, but... ordinary people will die within one second after entering the God's Grace Boundary. We can't send these people into the God's Grace Boundary within one second, so we need more people."

"Then let them continue to recruit more people." Zhu Yufeng said.

"But with such a large number of people, transportation is also a problem, right?" Mostima said, holding a lollipop in his mouth, "Can we catch up with the battle plan in three days?"

"Of course, ordinary means of transportation cannot deliver them to the outer edge of the Divine Grace Barrier within three days, but Thousand Realms One Vehicle can solve this problem," said Luo Fukou.

Abaddon looked over and said, "But as I remember, Qianjie Yicheng should be with Su, and he is the one who is conducting the observation of the Hengsha Project."

"You really underestimate our leader." Lilith said with a smile, "Now everyone's attention is on breaking through the Divine Grace barrier. If we do something to Qianjie Yicheng, it will be difficult for them to notice."

"But there is always a chance of something happening. If Su notices it..." Abaddon frowned, "Wait, where did Xila go?"

"Su is just a scientific researcher after all, not a combat-type fusion warrior. It will be very easy for Xila to subdue him." Luo Fukou said, "So, we will actually take the lead in executing the plan to conquer the Ruler of Constraint."

"That being said...how should we face public opinion after this?" Abaddon asked.

"In the face of human survival, no price is too high to be accepted, and no sacrifice is too small to be ignored." Admiral said, "To defeat the Herrscher of Constraint, we must either bet on the lives of all the existing Fusion Warriors, or bet on the lives of these civilians. Fusion Warriors are the last weapon to protect the future of mankind. We have no choice. After the incident with the Ninth Herrscher, we can no longer afford the casualties of Fusion Warriors."

"Ah..." Esmodes sighed, supporting her chin with one hand, "Ordinary people die as soon as they enter the Divine Grace Barrier. They don't even have the chance to wail. It's really distressing."

"Hmph, a bunch of losers who can only rely on us for protection. Their last value is to clear the way for us." Beelzebub snorted coldly.

"I agree~" Bal said with a smile, "We have suffered so much to protect them. Now they should pay back some of the interest, right?"

"Everyone will die sooner or later anyway, so we can pave the way for the heroes. It would be more glorious to die in the divine grace barrier." Nahaima shrugged and said.

"Astaroth is also here, you guys should restrain yourself." Zhu Yufeng looked over coldly. The other fallen angels looked at each other and chose to shut up.

Astaroth reached out and pulled the corner of Zhu Yufeng's clothes: "I'm fine... I know that some things have to be done by someone, just like when we suppressed the rebels."

Nahaima looked up at the sky and said, "Boss, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this child has been with us for so long, there's no need to be too shy about some things, and children have to grow up anyway."

"I think what Feng meant is that Astaroth cannot become something as finished as you." Abaddon crossed his arms and said, "Her future has more possibilities than ours."

"Who are you saying is finished?" Nahema glared at Abaddon.

"You are one of them. What? Do you have any objection?" Abaddon rolled his eyes at Naheima.

Lilith looked at Zhu Yufeng and said jokingly, "Compared to the last time you suppressed the rebels, you really didn't hesitate at all this time. Is it 'first time is new, second time is familiar'?"

Zhu Yufeng did not answer. He only knew that if he did not do so, a tragedy of restraint would occur, and the fusion warriors that once had an entire army would be reduced to only 13, and in the end, only 8 would be able to fight against the end.

If more fusion warriors could be left behind, then... in the end, at least there would be more room for choice. At the very least, it wouldn't be a child like Grayshuse who would board the Ark.

But if there is no other choice, who would be willing to let a child shoulder one of the four major plans for the revival of human civilization alone?

Suddenly, Mei's voice rang out from the communicator Zhu Yufeng had been wearing on his ear: "Feng, where are you now?"

Zhu Yufeng was silent. Did Mei find out so quickly? What went wrong?

Before he could answer, Mei's voice continued: "You...are going to forcefully implement Wei Wei's plan, right?"

Zhu Yufeng then spoke: "We have no choice, Mei, we can no longer afford the sacrifice of fusion warriors."

Mei on the other end of the communicator seemed to take a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Alicea has noticed your intention, and she is ready to implement the second plan now. The other fusion warriors in the Fire Moth have also agreed... They have set off for the Divine Grace Barrier..."

"What?" Zhu Yufeng was a little surprised.

"What's wrong, Feng?" Lilith asked.

Zhu Yufeng looked in the direction of the Divine Grace Barrier. In an instant, he remembered the death of Desdobia, the deaths of Hen and Blanca, as well as Klein and Imer... and the portrait that Gray Xiu had painted for him but did not give to him.

The knight who failed to see the dawn...

"Is fate... ultimately unchangeable..." Zhu Yufeng murmured. Is it true that the tragedy of restraint... is truly unchangeable?

Everyone else looked over.

Zhu Yufeng was still thinking alone.

All fusion warriors except the Thirteen Heroes will die in the tragedy of restraint, and he himself will be no exception... If he goes over there, he will probably really die... because fate has proven its absoluteness to him countless times.

Stay, no matter what happens, stay! Only if you are alive can you continue to challenge it!

He heard the voice in his heart. Was he afraid of death? No, when he decided to undergo the fusion warrior surgery, he no longer cared about his own life or death. He was afraid that his death would be meaningless and that his death would not create any waves in this abominable fate.

“But… they paid the price of the lives of all the fusion warriors except the Thirteen Heroes to locate the exact position of the Herrscher of Constraint for Kevin, and weakened the Divine Grace Barrier to support Kevin in using the Skyfire to kill the Herrscher of Constraint from a long distance…” Zhu Yufeng looked at the Black Abyss White Flower in his hand, “If… if Lilith and the others would have died in this tragedy, without us… without us, the first-tier fusion warriors, could they still have done what was originally destined?”

But... Lilith and the others... are also my family in this world...

But...if Alicia sacrificed herself in the tragedy of restraint, then everything he had done since coming to this world would be meaningless. Moreover, the Ruler of Origin was the source of hope for the next generation of civilization, and nothing could happen to her...

But...why must Lilith and the others die?

But...if all the fusion warriors except the Thirteen Heroes are killed, and Alicia and the others fail to locate the position of the Herrscher of Constraint, or if the weakening of the Divine Grace Barrier is not enough for Kevin to kill the Herrscher of Constraint...then Alicia will definitely not leave the battlefield, she will continue to stay in the Divine Grace Barrier...not only her, but also Mobius who went to retrieve the puppet Klein, and Velvet...they will all...

but……

but……

Alicia, why... why are you unwilling to wait for me? Why... why do you value these humans so much?

"Because, you are Alicia..." Zhu Yufeng whispered absentmindedly, "Xingyue sent the daughter of God, and she is willing to be a human's partner... a human's partner..."

After a while, his eyes finally became firm. He looked in the direction of the Divine Grace Boundary again and said, "You stay and continue to execute the original plan. I'll go first."

Just as he was about to take a step, Lilith spoke from behind him: "It was Alicia and the others... who decided to implement the second plan ahead of schedule, right?"

Zhu Yufeng was silent.

"So you have to go?"

"I... must go." Zhu Yufeng said this. He was a fusion warrior who had surpassed Kevin and was the only variable in fate. His life alone might be enough to determine the fate of Lilith and the others...

The second option is not impossible, because according to calculations, if all the existing fusion warriors are deployed, it is very likely that the operation can be completed.

All... Of course, this also includes the thirteen fallen angels...

But everything so far has been developing according to the original destiny. He can't afford to gamble. The only thing on the gambling table is his life, the life of a person from another world, the variable life of fate.

"Are you crazy, Boss Yufeng?!" Mostima shouted, "You... are really going to die!"

"Eight years ago, it was Alicia who saved my life under the ruins. Now, it's the same when I return everything to her." Zhu Yufeng answered, giving a reason to all the fallen angels and also to himself.

"That's not a reason!" Admiller suddenly became excited, "Feng, you are our leader and the strongest fusion warrior. If you die, there will be no hope for mankind!"

Zhu Yufeng just said: "You don't need to come with me, I can go alone."

As he was about to leave again, Nahaima's voice came from behind him again. He said with a smile as always: "Hahaha, Captain, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you don't have to handle everything by yourself. You still have us, right?"

He never calls himself captain, only boss.

His tone was firm and he did not allow Zhu Yufeng to refuse.

"Oh, Nahaima, I should be the one saying this, shouldn't I?" Lilith continued, "I only care about you, Feng, so if you want to go, I will definitely go too, don't think of getting rid of me so easily~"

Abaddon also said: "We are a group, we are a family. I certainly can't let you face the unknown dead zone alone."

Zhu Yufeng turned around and looked at the others in surprise. Didn't they know what fate they were about to face? This was a fate that was almost certain to end in death...

However, there was no opposition in anyone's eyes. Even Admiller calmed down after his initial excitement and looked at Zhu Yufeng silently. The determination in his eyes was as firm as that of everyone else.

"Humph, that Alicia is really going to cause us trouble, and so are the people who are going to fight with her!" Beelzebub bumped his fists together, "But that's good, this way I can also have a good fight with that bitch with all my strength!"

Zhu Yufeng was silent for a moment, then looked at Astaroth: "Astaroth, you stay..."

"I am also... a fallen angel!" Astaroth said firmly.

"Xila has gone to the Divine Grace Boundary to wait for us." Lilith tossed the communicator in her hand and said, "Look, no one wants to stay."

Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes, then smiled helplessly. He turned towards the direction of the Divine Grace Boundary again and said, "Fallen Angel Squad, set off!"

"Roger that!"

As the top fusion warrior team, the Fallen Angel Team's movement speed far exceeds that of current human vehicles. Even if the human body cannot keep up with the speed, they can still artificially collapse to continue to accelerate. Therefore, they arrived at the outskirts of the Divine Grace Barrier within a dozen minutes and met up with Xila.

Looking at the divine grace barrier in front of him that seemed like a forbidden area for all living beings, Zhu Yufeng took a deep breath and was the first to enter the divine grace barrier.

The moment he entered the divine grace barrier, he felt as if someone was gently unloading a burden for him, but at the same time, he also quickly felt the energy in his body draining away.

"It's worthy of being the Divine Grace Barrier specially designed to deal with us fusion warriors..." The weakest of the Fallen Angels, Admiral, began to breathe faster. "According to the second plan, we need to stimulate all the Honkai energy in our bodies to neutralize the effect of the Divine Grace Barrier, and then lock the position of the restraint!"

"A carpet search will only waste our time." Beffinger said, "My mental perception may be able to find the exact location of the restraint. It was blocked outside before. After entering, as long as there is enough time, I can find her! But my Honkai energy may..."

The radius of the Divine Grace Barrier reaches one hundred kilometers. This search volume is too difficult for Beffinger even if it is not restricted by the Divine Grace Barrier.

"Then I will give you my Honkai Energy." Zhu Yufeng looked at Beffinger, "I am the strongest fallen angel, I can last longer than you!"

"Forget it, Boss." Nahaima looked at Zhu Yufeng, "I've been annoyed with Kevin for a long time. He kills all the Herrschers. This time we have to take down this bitch Restraint no matter what! You have to save your energy to deal with that Anti-Herrscher."

"I agree. As the strongest team of fusion warriors, we haven't killed any Herrscher yet." Baal said.

"Don't waste time, let's start!" Lofko looked at Beffinger, who nodded, closed his eyes, and his body quickly entered a state of collapse, and began to spread his spiritual realm within the Divine Grace barrier.

Suddenly, Su's voice rang in everyone's mind: "You are here, the Fallen Angel Squad."

"How are the others doing?" Zhu Yufeng asked. He knew that Su was using his mental power as a remote communication bridge to contact every fusion warrior who entered the Divine Grace barrier.

"More than half of the fusion warriors who entered the Divine Grace Boundary have been sacrificed. I will send the areas they searched to Beffinger to reduce his search time. At the same time, I will also distribute the areas that Beffinger searched to other fusion warriors."

"Please." Zhu Yufeng said. He knew that Su was almost risking his life by doing this. There should be Aponia beside him to help Su, otherwise Su might not be able to hold on for too long and would faint due to mental exhaustion.

Now that we have entered the divine grace barrier, we cannot waste a single minute.

Suddenly, Mostima seemed to see something. She pointed in a direction and said, "Look, that's... Honkai Beast?"

"Impossible... Even the Honkai Beast can't survive in the Divine Grace Barrier!" Yadmiller looked at the monster flying towards them in the distance in disbelief.

"This is not a normal Honkai beast. In other words, it should be a different kind of Honkai beast that is unique to the Divine Grace Barrier. They seem to be immune to the effects of the Divine Grace Barrier. Some fusion warriors have encountered them. Although they are weaker than other Honkai beasts, but with this number and in the Divine Grace Barrier... they all seem to be coming towards Beffinger." Su said.

"Everyone, protect Beffinger." Zhu Yufeng tightly grasped the Black Abyss White Flower, "Use as little Honkai energy as possible, we can't afford it."

Everyone gathered around Beffinger. As Su said, these alien Honkai beasts were not even as good as the breakthrough-level Honkai beasts. However... when everyone was restrained by the Divine Grace Barrier, they were not affected by the Divine Grace Barrier and their large numbers were also a big trouble.

During the battle, Admiral quietly stood beside Beffinger and whispered, "I don't think I can hold on for much longer."

Beffinger said nothing, he simply couldn't understand the spirit.

But Rovko noticed it, and she also stepped back to Admiral and said, "You seem to have some ideas?"

"In fact, I have been thinking about what is missing to complete the plan of becoming a god. In the end, I came to the conclusion that we... will be the stepping stone for Feng to become a god." Admiller said, "I have been thinking about how to convince Feng to use Vishnu's power to devour us..."

"So, are you..."

"I went to see Aponya, and she said that we would all die in the tragedy of restraint. I never believed in such things, but..." Admiral put his hand on the collapsed Beffinger, "If this can build his ladder to godhood, if it can lead to the final victory, then death...what does it matter?"

He transferred all his Honkai energy to Beffinger, and Admiller, who lost his Honkai energy and was unable to fight against the Divine Grace Barrier, soon fell down.

Luo Fukou looked at Zhu Yufeng and said to himself: "No price is too high to be accepted, and no sacrifice is too small to be ignored..."

She also placed her hands on Beffinger's body and transferred all her Honkai energy to Beffinger. During this process, she kept watching Zhu Yufeng's fighting back until the light in her eyes disappeared.

After what seemed like an extremely long time to many people, Beffinger finally spoke: "Found it!"

Then, he passed the location of the Ruler of Constraint to other fallen angels, but except for Zhu Yufeng, he passed a message to other fallen angels separately.

"Get there as fast as you can!" Zhu Yufeng said, and then he took the lead in breaking through the encirclement of the Honkai beasts and moved towards the position of the Ruler of Constraint.

The other fallen angels looked at each other and followed suit, but Befenger, who had exited the collapse state, grabbed Lilith. Lilith turned around, and Befenger did not say anything, but just nodded at her gently, and passed all his remaining Honkai energy to Lilith.

The fallen angels quickly caught up with Zhu Yufeng. Lilith was the first to speak: "Feng, as our main fighting force, you must reduce your Honkai energy consumption as much as possible."

The second plan, Kevin's ultra-long-distance kill is also based on the fact that the fusion warriors who entered the Divine Grace Barrier were unable to kill the Ruler of Constraint after locating it. Originally in this plan, Zhu Yufeng was the person responsible for entering the Divine Grace Barrier and killing the Ruler of Constraint.
