"After all, I have Feng's permission. From now on, I can do whatever I want until this country sinks~"
"Although I don't care about human affairs most of the time, I do... hold grudges..."
Chapter 6: About to Sink (k)
Fire Chaser Headquarters.
The entire parliament stared in amazement at the ever-expanding black hole on the screen and the calculated time until Mu Continent sank. A parliamentarian from Mu Continent couldn't help but mutter, "The Ninth Herrscher... How could she... How could this be possible..."
"The defense system of Mu Continent is close to total collapse. At present, neither Mu Continent nor the Fire Moth has the ability to dissolve the pseudo-black hole created by the Ninth Herrscher's self-destruction." Mei said while looking at the screen. "That is why we now have the opportunity to contact Mu Continent again and the fusion warriors currently in Mu Continent. Dr. Mobius is in contact with Feng."
"If the power of the Ninth Herrscher is to control supergravity and form a pseudo-black hole, then I remember that some of the fusion warriors also have similar special abilities, right?" A congressman asked, "If we send those who are still in the base out now, together with Hen who is already in Mu Continent, can we eliminate this pseudo-black hole?"
"Senator Quentin, I must reiterate that, so far, neither the Fire Moth nor the Mu Continent has the ability to remove the pseudo-black hole." Mei said calmly, "Indeed, the special abilities of several fusion warriors, including Hen who is now in the Mu Continent, can theoretically offset the ability of the Ninth Herrscher, but in fact, the huge difference in the Houkai energy levels between the two sides and the pseudo-black hole that has now expanded to such a scale, even if they are all sent out, at most they can only delay the expansion of the pseudo-black hole."
"Will this black hole continue to expand?" another congressman spoke up. He belonged to the Mobius faction. He didn't care much about the life or death of Mu Continent, because the existence of Mu Continent had actually affected the interests of the Fire Moths and had formed a restraining effect in many places. Now that Mu Continent was irreparable, he thought it was not impossible to abandon Mu Continent.
What happens next will be discussed later. Why things have turned out like this is not within the scope of discussion of this emergency meeting. What he is worried about is the possibility that this pseudo-black hole will continue to expand. What should he do if the pseudo-black hole has not disappeared and continues to expand after the sinking of Mu Continent?
I'm so tired, so alone
Mei glanced at the councillor who spoke, and then said, "Based on the data currently shared with the Mu Continent Collapse Observation Center and the analysis of the Fire-Chasing Moth itself, the generation of the pseudo-black hole is closely related to the existence of the Ninth Herrscher. In other words, although this is indeed a self-destruction of the Ninth Herrscher in name, her body is not completely dead yet. When the pseudo-black hole expands to a certain extent, she will be annihilated in it. Once the Herrscher is annihilated, the pseudo-black hole will disappear as well."
"That is to say, the Ninth Herrscher's self-destruction this time will at most destroy Mu Continent, but it will not continue to expand and affect humans on other continents, right?" the congressman asked again.
"This conclusion is not accurate." Mei pushed up his glasses and said, "Because the final direct cause of the destruction of Mu Continent was its sinking, the impact of the sinking of one continent cannot be considered to be unaffected by other continents."
"Then we should notify the coastal areas of other continents to make corresponding preparations."
"What about the rescue of the people on Mu Continent?" A congressman couldn't help but ask. Now that the sinking of Mu Continent is a foregone conclusion, those people on Mu Continent should also get a definite result.
"There is less than an hour left before Mu Continent is completely sunk. In such a short time, the Fire Moths have no way of completing the transfer of Mu Continent's personnel." Mei pointed this out calmly.
"Are we just going to sit here and do nothing, and watch Mu Continent sink?"
"But what can we do? After all, didn't Mu Continent make a solemn statement at the beginning, saying that it would fight the Ninth Herrscher alone? Could it be that the current result has nothing to do with their arrogance?"
"We also sent out Fusion Warriors like Feng and Kevin. Didn't they play a role as well?"
"How do you know that Mu Continent didn't send some armed puppet army to intercept our fusion fighters? We won't know the details of what happened until Feng and the others come back."
"It's too late to save the situation. Perhaps we should even feel lucky that we broke with Mu Continent earlier and built our own industrial system. This way, the human industrial system wouldn't collapse after the sinking of Mu Continent. What we lost was not hope, but a constraint."
Mei silently watched the quarrels among the councillors, and inevitably thought of her boyfriend who was currently in Mu Continent. According to the original plan, Kevin and Zhu Yufeng were to be the main attackers in the crusade against the Ninth Herrscher. Although the news from Mobius was that everyone was safe and sound and was preparing to evacuate, but...
Sure enough, I still have some slight concerns.
This should be regarded as the most tragic defeat that mankind has ever suffered in its fight against the Honkai. Perhaps the victories all along have numbed them to some extent, and faced with this sudden "tragic defeat", when the Honkai began to truly show its fangs as expected, even Mei briefly fell into confusion.
Mebius Laboratories.
"Are you sure you're fine? Don't you know what kind of damage the Honkai interference bomb can cause?" Mobius frowned and looked at Zhu Yufeng on the screen and said, "I don't want to go through the trouble of saving you again!"
"It was just a single bullet. It really doesn't have much impact at the moment." Zhu Yufeng glanced at the wound on his left shoulder and said, "We also need a wound like this to calm public opinion afterwards."
Mobius was stunned. She knew what Zhu Yufeng meant. No matter how much Mu Continent had a grudge against the Fire Moth, it was still the country with the most advanced technology in the world today. It was the so-called "hope" in the hearts of countless ordinary people. When Mu Continent was fighting against the Ninth Herrscher, it was sunk by the Ninth Herrscher's self-destructive attack, which could easily cause people's morale to collapse, and then once again laid the hidden danger for the Tenth Herrscher's unrest.
After all, human hearts are hard to predict, and it is always difficult to guess what a person's true heart is like just by looking at the surface.
This wound was left behind, and there would be enough reason to prove afterwards that it was the result of Mu Dalu's own willful behavior. The Fire Moth sent out the most top-notch fusion warriors, and then Mu Dalu secretly developed special weapons that could cause huge damage to the fusion warriors and launched an attack on the fusion warriors who came to support them.
In this way, the halo that many people have for Mu Continent can be broken, thereby alleviating the negative impact brought about by the sinking of Mu Continent.
"But we can use more than just this method..."
"We should use all available means, because this is a war...that we cannot afford to lose," said Zhu Yufeng.
Alicia, who was standing beside him, looked at him again after hearing what he said. Even Sakura couldn't help but shift her complicated gaze to him.
A war that cannot be lost...
If we don't consider the next generation, we really can't afford to lose.
It was a little bit wrong for Zhu Yufeng to say this, because he was not from this world, and he knew very well that humans still had a retreat called the next civilization.
Alicia thought more and her mood was more complicated.
She remembered the promise she and Zhu Yufeng had made to each other in the amusement park several years ago that they would save each other. According to Zhu Yufeng, if she did not sacrifice herself, the Herrscher of the next civilization would be like this one, and there would be no human Herrscher. If she failed in this era, her final fate would naturally be unchangeable.
This is what Zhu Yufeng called "can't afford to lose". He still abides by the promise he made that year, and then...
Alicia's gaze fell on the wound that Zhu Yufeng had deliberately not treated. On the way to evacuation, Alicia had repeatedly confirmed with Zhu Yufeng that this wound would not cause too much negative impact on him.
But... no matter how nicely it sounds, this is still a wound caused by a bullet. No matter how indifferent it is, the Honkai energy interference bullet is still effective...
How could it be okay?
But for him, he felt that this level of pain and injury was not within his scope of concern.
He is such a person, stubborn to death, taking many things in his life too lightly, or even to be blunt, probably... For him, no matter what kind of injury he suffers, as long as he is not dead, it is enough.
and so……
If you don't think of a way...
If there is no solution in the end...
He will still go to the same end as before.
They said that in the next generation of civilization, humans would surely defeat the Honkai Impact, and that in the next generation of civilization, there would be more Herrschers like themselves. These were indeed the scenes he had wanted to see, but for him... he should care more about the path he was taking at the moment, and he didn't care much about things in the future.
Because he already knew it, because he had seen it a long time ago.
People like me can only imagine the future scenes through his descriptions, but he has actually seen them.
"I once wondered why I came to this era, why I appeared here... I have seen rangers wandering alone in the sky to redeem themselves, I have seen the elegy of sinners played by thunder resounding through the sky, I have seen the eternal firewood that burned away the thousands of mocking faces... The stories of the girls are still continuing, and their future is still extending. People like me wish that their future will be as they wish, and feel gratified for their growth..."
“Then, I saw your story.”
"The story of the thirteen heroes who chased the fire, the thirteen people who failed to become heroes."
"You left the best wishes for the next era and planted the seeds of hope for the next era. You looked forward to its germination, but in the end, you had no chance to see its results."
"Why is it so hard for me to let go of the story of the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire? Perhaps it is because, when I first learned about this story, it had already ended, and there would be no new chapters to be turned."
"So, it was probably for this reason that I came here, although I was a little too embarrassed when I got here. Besides, I don't have any special physique or powerful external plug-ins. I can only reach out my hand as far as I can to what I see."
"Now that we're here, we have to do something, right?"
This was a conversation he and she had once had alone under the starry night sky. Before that, she always liked to ask him about the stories of the descendants of the next civilization, but after that, she never mentioned anything about the next civilization again.
Alicia withdrew her gaze. This time, they would definitely be able to defeat the Honkai and reach the future they hoped for. They would definitely be able to...
After Zhu Yufeng ended his communication with Mobius, news came from Kevin. Although Hen had wanted to sacrifice himself to slow down the spread of the pseudo-black hole as much as possible, Kevin finally succeeded by presenting facts and reasoning.
Uh…when did Kevin start using his brain?
In fact, when Kevin watched Hen and other fusion warriors marching toward death in his previous life, his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. The main reason was that the self-detonation of the Ninth Herrscher caught everyone off guard and the defense of Mu Continent collapsed. The Fire Moth had to recover as much valuable experimental data and some equipment that could be rescued from Mu Continent as possible in the shortest time and at the fastest speed, and at the same time, it had to urgently evacuate the non-fusion warriors who had been sent out at that time.
In desperation, he could only accept the sacrifice of Hen and others.
But this time it was different. Mostima had already downloaded all the experimental data, and they knew all the special equipment and what Herrschers were going to fight. Wouldn't it be better to leave it to Velvet and Roverko? Moreover, all the people who came this time were fusion warriors. Everyone knew that the Ninth Herrscher was going to self-destruct.
There is no need for Hen to sacrifice himself.
"Boss, Mostima said that the little girl named Greyshue seems to be in some trouble." Naheima's voice sounded, "Although Kosmo and Desdobia are also heading over there, it may be difficult to deal with them given their personalities. They are now quite close to you. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Ok?"
Kosmo's side.
Kosmo and Desdobia looked at Leander with unfriendly expressions, and the weapon in Leander's hand was always pointed at Grayshu. To be more precise, all the scientific researchers in this Honkai Energy Observation Center have been armed and controlled by the palace guards headed by Leander.
"I knew that with the relationship between Pinghen and the Fire Chaser Moth, even if Mu Continent is about to sink, someone will definitely come to take his daughter and wife away." Leander sneered and said, "In that case, it's okay for us to take a ride, right?"
The order he received was to prevent anyone from the Fire Moth from taking away Grace and Blanca, but the current situation was not right. Those high-ranking officials were busy running away, and even the princes, princesses and other royal family members had mostly boarded the plane to leave Mu Continent. What about him?
Waiting to die?
Even if doing this now may cause me to face a lot of trouble if I am saved later, I still have to survive first so that I can have the chance to think about those things, right?
Leander can only grasp this life-saving straw now. What's more, as long as the royal family members flee Mu Continent, with Mu Continent's prestige in the world today, there will always be a country that can accept them. And as the captain of the palace guard, he will still have some place to stay at that time.
Even if they were facing a Fusion Warrior that they couldn't defeat, they still had to be cautious. Besides, they and their subordinates had Honkai energy interference bombs that were specifically designed to deal with Fusion Warriors and Herrschers...
Just as Kosmo was confronting Leander, the next second, all the soldiers seemed to lose consciousness suddenly and collapsed to the ground like puppets with their strings cut.
"maple?!"
Zhu Yufeng stood at the door. Today was probably the day he used the most power, and he used it all on the road... Fortunately, he borrowed Yu Du Chen from Hua when he came here. Originally, he wanted to prevent Hen from refusing to leave, so he simply hypnotized him with Yu Du Chen and forced him to pack up and take him away. After all, he promised Gray Xiu that he would definitely save Hen...
Originally, it was not necessary to have Yu Duchen, but now I don’t understand how to "smash Varudo", otherwise I would have stopped time and killed everyone.
"Are you okay, Grayxiu?" Zhu Yufeng squatted down and looked Grayxiu up and down to see if she was injured.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Grayxiu raised her head and saw Zhu Yufeng's left shoulder stained with blood, and his left hand that he had never raised. "Brother Yufeng... are you injured?"
"Minor injury...I was hit by red paint when I came here."
Grayxiu: “…”
Do you think I believe it?
"Ahem..." Zhu Yufeng stood up and looked at Dr. Einstein, "You are Dr. Einstein, right? And all the researchers here, do you want to come with us?"
Einstein glanced at the data transmission progress on the screen. After calculating and concluding that Mu Continent was about to sink, she no longer stopped Mostima from downloading the experimental data. Instead, she chose to help her download those valuable experimental data.
"This country finally lost to its own arrogance..." Einstein sighed with some emotion, "However, as long as the royal family members are still there, as long as there are survivors, Mu Continent... will continue to exist. Even so, will you still save us?"
"Ah? Are you talking about the royal family?" Lilith's somewhat comfortable voice sounded in Zhu Yufeng's headset, "Then you can tell Dr. Einstein that the royal family will soon be without members~"
Zhu Yufeng: “…”
He probably knew where Lilith was going... no wonder she was acting alone.
Wait, isn't there a small number of royal family members in Mu Continent? Even if the king has only a few children, the king himself has brothers and sisters, right? Did Lilith just clear them all out?
After a long silence, Zhu Yufeng said to Einstein: "Maybe... there are no more members in the royal family."
Einstein: "???"
Is the Fire Chaser so ruthless this time? Will he just clear out the entire royal family of Mu Continent?
In fact, there were not many people left from the royal family of Mu Continent in the previous life. After all, once Mu Continent was gone, the human industrial system was severely damaged. At that time, who cared whether there were survivors in Mu Continent? They were directly thrown to Africa by the Fire Moth with a wave of its hand.
Then he joined the resistance army and was finally annihilated by Zhu Yufeng.
So...all I can say is that death is death whether it's early or late, so it's not a big deal to just deal with it now, and it can also eliminate a hidden danger.
Alicia looked at Zhu Yufeng speechlessly. She knew that it was some scumbag who acted alone to clean up the royal family. With Lilith's personality, she could indeed do it. Moreover, Lilith was much more radical than herself when it came to matters involving Feng. At the beginning, Lionel's verbal attacks on Zhu Yufeng did make even herself dissatisfied. But now, Lionel had proved his ability, and Feng didn't care, so she didn't take it too seriously.
But Lilith really holds a grudge until now. Lionel has not reconciled with Rolfko and their relationship is getting worse and worse. Lilith is a big part of the reason.
In addition, when Mu Dalu tried to win over Lilith through Davion, he was used by Lilith in return. Alicia was not very clear about the specific operation, but she heard Zhu Yufeng mention it somewhat helplessly, which seemed to catalyze the king's suspicion of Lionel.
If you offend Zhu Yufeng, he may not take it seriously, or even not care at all, but someone will care a lot and will always remember it...
This time, Feng was injured by the Honkai interference bullet developed by Mu Continent. Although he did care about it from time to time and even planned to take advantage of it, even if he felt distressed, it would not be surprising how crazy Lilith's revenge would be...
Even if I try to stop it now, it might be too late. What's more, I don't really want to stop it.
After the incident with the Twelfth Herrscher in the previous life, when Sakura and Chijie went to settle accounts with the surviving soldiers who had fired the shots, Alicia still did not choose to stop them.
A coastal city on Mu Continent.
As the ground beneath his feet continued to shake, Lionel stood among the crowd of people who were fleeing in panic and trying to board the ship. He looked at the pseudo-black hole in the distance, without looking at Beffinger beside him, and just said, "Why did you save me?"
"Don't you think it's a pity that you died here?" Beffinger said, crossing his arms. "You don't have to sink with this continent."
“Heh…I…”
"Stop, sometimes you should be flexible, right? Now that things have been decided, which one do you choose, Mu Continent or human civilization?"
"...Beffinger, how can you understand me... Haha, it's just something that has already happened, and it's happening again."
"Hey, hey, hey, there's no king above the Fire Moth, and don't think you can take care of everything by yourself, it's impossible. It's just that there are some aspects that need you to do."
"Everyone has his own job... That's right. No matter what, human civilization must continue."
