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

She felt that there was something wrong with Jaina's gaze, but she couldn't tell what it was... Maybe the child is in adolescence and tends to overthink some things.

After all, there were several times when Mostima stayed up late to fetch water and saw the child standing alone on the balcony, thinking about something.

Mostima didn't really care about it. Sooner or later, Jaina would realize the murderous intent that Lilith had shown towards her, unless... the child selectively forgot what happened.

But forgetting is easy to say, but it is quite difficult...

She cares so much about her sister, but her sister has never had her in her heart from beginning to end. Recently, after Lilith had Lilith, Lilith's attention to Jaina dropped drastically. For Lilith, Jaina was just a spice in the relationship between her and Feng. Now Lilith can play a greater role than Jaina, so Lilith will care even less about Jaina.

Speaking of which, when Lilith first came to see Jaina, she had asked Feng for help, and then Feng wanted to come over, so she followed him.

"Sister Mostima..." Jaina looked down at the food on the table and said, "If...sister hadn't met brother Feng in the beginning, would everything be different now?"

"Jaina, there are no ifs in this matter," said Mostima.

"Yes, it has become a thing of the past. No matter how much we say 'if', it is impossible to go back to the past." Jaina lowered her eyes, "But, I often wonder, if Brother Feng didn't exist, could my sister and I go back to the past?"

"Jaina." Mostima began to feel that something was wrong with the topic. "You can't say that. Don't listen to those guys' gossip. Feng is not a Herrscher. He has been fighting seriously against dangers that threaten humanity, of course, with your sister. So... your sister has become so busy recently."

"But I don't want my sister to be a hero," Jaina said. "Why does it have to be my sister? Why my sister?"

Is it possible that your sister doesn't care about being a hero at all? If Feng doesn't want to do this anymore one day, Lilith will definitely be the first one to follow him or even run away with him.

Even if Feng, you, and your brother Davion, Adamus who has been dead for who knows how long, were not there, Lilith would not care at all. I'm afraid if she were given the slightest chance, she would kill you.

But Mostima didn't know how to tell Jaina all this. After all, for a child, this seemed too cruel. She could only wait for time to slowly heal her wounds and wait for her to experience it for herself as she grew up.

"You will slowly learn about it in the future," said Mastema. "Always clinging to the past will only make you stagnate."

"The adults always say that..." Jaina gently closed her eyes and said to herself in an almost imperceptible voice, "But, I always hope to go back to the past, and hope that time can stay at that time forever."

I am still as innocent as before, and my sister is still as gentle and elegant as before. I hope that my sister will still weave the flowers in the garden into a wreath, put it on my head, braid my hair for me, and gently remind me to pay attention to my appearance.

I hope so much that life can go back to the way it was before.

No matter whether it was my brother or my brother Adamus, my sister was equally gentle to them, unlike now, when in my sister's eyes, there was no place for anyone except Feng.

Mostima looked at Jaina, thinking about contacting Lilith later and asking her to pay attention to her sister's mental state. After all, Mostima, who had been with her for such a long time, knew very well how much Jaina missed her sister, and now was the time when the child was prone to overthinking...

On the other side, in Lionel's office.

"The atmosphere in the Fire Moth seems a little strange recently." Lionel frowned and said, "Not to mention the various rumors that keep coming out among the warriors, the top brass seem to be starting to become a little... wary of each other?"

Beffinger sat on the sofa at one side, flipping through a book while looking up and saying, "Leon, you have to know that in the current Fire Moth, for smart people, I'm afraid no one can trust anyone else, at least... they shouldn't trust each other completely. Even between you and me, it's best not to say everything. After all... you are now the remnant of Mu Continent, and 99% of the participants in the chaos that has been caused by the entire human society are survivors of Mu Continent."

Lionel was silent. He stared at Beffinger for a while, then retracted his gaze and said self-deprecatingly: "Yes, I am a soldier from Mu Continent. How can I be willing to see my motherland destroyed so directly..."

Beffinger's monocle reflected the light a little, and then he said, "Then you should pay close attention to your recent words and actions, because there may not be only one person watching you."

"So what? I've been looked at like this many times in Mu Continent." Lionel shrugged and said, "It's better to say that I'm not under house arrest yet, but just under surveillance. Isn't that good enough?"

"You are much more self-aware than before." Beffinger turned a page in the book in his hand. "I suggest that you should work honestly now, so that both you and I will have less trouble."

Lionel stopped talking and flipped through the documents while thinking in his heart.

Beffinger obviously accepted the assignment to monitor him, but he said that he might not be the only one watching him at the moment. In other words, there was something else that was also paying attention to him, and this thing was very likely the culprit behind the strange state of the Fire Moth.

For unknown reasons, Beffinger could not explain these things in detail. He could only test himself and play guessing games here, explaining that he did not know what form that thing existed in, and... Beffinger definitely suspected that he might be that thing.

Has the Tenth Herrscher, who was previously speculated, already appeared in the Fire Moth? No, it is better to say that only the appearance of the Tenth Herrscher can prove why the current situation has occurred in the Fire Moth.

It's no wonder that the top brass are wary of each other. Everyone is worried that the person they are talking to might be the Tenth Herrscher...

Wait, this means that the Tenth Herrscher is actually dormant as a human? And...

Lionel paused as he was writing on the document, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

He seemed to have figured out what the power of the Tenth Herrscher was.

Rumors are the soil of suspicion, and it is definitely not possible for one person to form a rumor. Assuming that the power of the Ruler will not be repeated, and the power of mind control is already controlled by the Eighth Ruler, then how does the Tenth Ruler promote the spread of rumors? The ability of one person to spread rumors is very limited, and it is easy to expose oneself, so what if there are many people?

There is more than one Tenth Herrscher...

Thinking of this, Lionel couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. He wanted to convince himself that it was just his fantasy, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was only one possibility that could explain the current situation. He could imagine that Mebius, May, and Dr. Einstein, the top wise men of mankind, must have noticed it. They were not sure whether the others were individuals of the Tenth Ruler, so they had to take measures to guard against others.

In this way, the Tenth Herrscher should be a relatively weak Herrscher, relying on the advantage of numbers to break the trust between humans... After all, if they are strong enough, is there any need for them to stay hidden? Perhaps it is precisely because they are too weak compared to other Herrschers that conventional means cannot detect them at all.

Yes, for the Herrscher, there are more ways to destroy civilization than just violence. Making humans suspicious of each other and eventually pushing for civil war is also a way to destroy civilization.

He almost forgot that violent destruction of civilization is only a means. As apostles of Honkai, the Herrschers' ultimate goal is to destroy human civilization.

Thinking of this, Lionel couldn't help but look at Beffinger again. Beffinger was willing to tell him so much by playing tricks on him, which basically showed that he still had some trust in him and believed that he could hear it.

"If that's the case... the enemy is the Tenth Herrscher, their power is unknown, but their number is huge enough to form a rumor... and they are likely not only present in the Fire Moth, but also in other corners of human society..." Lionel lowered his head and pondered, "The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. It is too difficult to catch them all. The measure we can take... the most effective one should be to lure them out of their hole. No matter how large their number is, as long as the bait is tempting enough to make them send out a large number of individuals, and then annihilate those individuals in one fell swoop, the rest are just pawns and can't make a difference. But, what kind of bait can force them out?"

While Lionel was thinking, his eyes fell on a new confidential document that Beffinger brought today. He opened the document and then was stunned.

Wow, it looks like the battle plan against the Tenth Herrscher has already begun, right?

This document clearly contained details about the God-killing Plan. Lionel took a quick look at the document and finally understood why the Fire-Chasing Moth had been so vigilant about the God-killing Plan and wanted to prevent Mu Continent from learning about it at all costs. The things in it...

"God-killing weapon, Sky Thunder Arceus? Although this name makes people feel that the person who named it may be a little too young... It's a bit like a name that Kosmo would come up with." Lionel laughed softly and thought to himself, "But it's not a bad thing for young people... to always be energetic... According to the description in this plan, all preparations are to deal with the arrival of the last Herrscher, and humans will use this to defeat the gods... If this is used as bait, indeed, the Tenth Herrscher will not sit idly by."

But... I am not the Tenth Herrscher. How can I let the Tenth Herrscher know this?

Or, did every high-ranking official get a copy? This was indeed possible. There were definitely individuals among the Tenth Herrscher who were high-ranking officials lurking in the Fire-Chasing Moth. If he were the chess master behind the scenes, he would definitely do the same thing. Only by scattering individuals in every corner of human society could he maximize his profits.

only……

"The people in charge of the God-killing Plan are... Rovko and Admiral?" Lionel frowned. He hadn't seen his sister for a long time. After Mu Dalu sank, he only talked to her on the phone. She greeted him kindly with a "You're not dead?" and that was it...

Lionel: “…”

Sister, who taught you to talk like that? You never spoke to me this harshly before.

Even though he complained in his heart, Lionel finally resisted the urge to interfere in the matter. He knew that this was the best way to break the deadlock at the moment, and he had no choice.

The Fire Moths are now undercurrent, but on the surface they still maintain a minimum of calm. Lionel knows very well that this is just the calm before the storm. It won't be long before the official confrontation between the Fire Moths and the Tenth Herrscher will come.

No wonder the Fire Moth has weakened its efforts to investigate various rumors recently. After all, it is not a solution to keep looking for the source. All they can do is relax openly and tighten secretly and wait for the right opportunity.

"A storm is coming."

Chapter 7: Thousand Faces of Turmoil (k)

Europe, the Fire Moth Third Research Institute.

"The Tenth Herrscher has appeared. Now, all normal communication methods, including normal means of communication, are at risk of being exposed. The counterattack plan against the Tenth Herrscher is now known only to us here." Admiral said as he looked at the huge humanoid weapon in front of him, "Although I also understand that the Moonlight Throne does have a huge killing effect on Honkai, this is the confidence we have in facing the last Herrscher, that is..."

Admiral's expression suddenly turned into a dead fish eye. "Is it really necessary to make legs? For a weapon of this level, the feet should be decorations. After all, the main battlefield of the Tianting should be the universe. If we don't consider ground combat, the leg armor can be completely removed... At least it can save some materials."

"Yeah, why does it have to be a human foot?" Roffko nodded as he looked at the engineering drawing in his hand.

Admiral: "..."

Some of Roverko's aesthetic tastes in mecha design are always disappointing. One can only say that they have a kind of evil god-like beauty.

Now the entire Third Research Institute is in a completely closed state. People outside cannot come in, and people inside cannot go out. At the same time, the means of communication are almost cut off from the outside world. Love and Admirer can only communicate with the outside world through the Gray Snake network, which also highlights the advantages of the Gray Snake network. Who makes the Gray Snake not human? The carrier of the Tenth Herrscher can only be human. For the half-biological and half-mechanical creation of the Gray Snake, only erosion is their nemesis.

All Admiral and his men need to do is sit back and wait.

"Will you consider returning to the headquarters after this incident is over?" Yadmiller said, "The sinking of Mu Continent must have had an impact on you, right?"

It's not like he didn't know that after the Ninth Herrscher incident, Zhu Yufeng came to inquire about Rovko's mental state and asked him to pay more attention to Rovko's condition. Although Rovko always showed a strong aversion to Mu Continent, Mu Continent was where she grew up after all, and now... she had no hometown to return to, and no relatives to talk to... Oh, Lionel was still alive.

"Don't worry, you can tell Feng that I'm fine." Luo Fukou continued to inspect the performance of various parts of the Tianting with a blank expression, "But... after this incident, I was going back to the headquarters anyway."

Admiller stopped talking, he looked up at the huge mechanical creation. Actually, he was not specialized in Honkai power engineering. Like Mebius, he specialized in the biological field. He only knew a little about other things.

The main builders of the Tianting should be the two experts, Weiwei and Luofuko. The reason why they chose the Third Research Institute is that this place is completely the territory of the World Serpent. Compared with other places, the security and concealment here are quite high... At least compared with other subordinate institutions of the Fire Moth, everyone here is their own people.

However, this is a special period. Even the previously airtight World Snake Territory cannot be guaranteed to be free of infiltration by the Tenth Ruler.

No one knows it or how they appeared. At present, we only know that there are a large number of them lurking among the crowd. Of course, Admiral has paid attention to the rumors that have been spreading recently. As the person in charge of the God-killing Plan, Roffko is responsible for the construction of the Tianting, and he is in charge of management and planning.

There have been no similar rumors in the Third Research Institute so far, but Admiller is still not reassured. Like Zhu Yufeng, he is also worried that the rumor is just a smokescreen to attract the attention of the Fire Moth. Moreover, this "smokescreen" is so effective that the Fire Moth cannot ignore it.

It must be that Rofko was so absorbed in the construction of the Tianting that he didn't pay attention to these rumors. Otherwise, given the degree of concern that Rofko inadvertently showed towards that guy Feng... Alas, Admiller really wanted to say to his colleague, could you please not be so self-aware? You are not without advantages, so why don't you have any intention of getting involved?

But Luo Fukou has a stubborn temper, so it's useless to say it...

After a period of research and development, some technical problems of the Tianting have been almost solved, and it is only a matter of time before the core technical problems are completely overcome... It is really thanks to the foresight of Mebius and others to build another industrial system outside Mu Continent. Otherwise, the sinking of Mu Continent alone would be enough to make today's human beings suffer.

It would be fine if the population was smaller, but there are still so many humans in the world now, and the industrial demand is huge. If an industrial system independent of Mu Continent is not established in advance, the current living standards of humans will probably regress by several decades in an instant.

"If there is enough time, maybe I can really create twelve God-killing Spears as in the proposal that Velvi mentioned..." Admiral thought to himself, but this is just wishful thinking. Just a few months after the incident of the Ninth Herrscher, the Tenth Herrscher has already appeared. The intervals between the appearances of the Herrschers are getting shorter and shorter, and the end is getting closer. What's more, the human industrial system has been severely damaged due to the sinking of Mu Continent, and the Fire Moth has to find a way to supply the existing industrial needs of human society.

This basically means that only one Tianting can be built at present. Let alone twelve, it may be difficult to build another one, and there may not be enough time.

The God-Destroying Weapon, Arceus, is essentially an extension of the Moonlight Throne plan. The technical problems of the Moonlight Throne have been solved by Velvet, Mei and Rofko, and the speed has far exceeded Admiller's expectations. He doesn't quite understand how this group of people managed to master a new concept of technology in such a short time, but transferring the Moonlight Throne technology to Arceus is another issue. It's not just about putting the Moonlight Throne on Arceus, but about letting Arceus further amplify the power of the Moonlight Throne.

"At least the normal state is stronger than the overloaded operation of the five Moonlight Thrones."

Wei Weiwei said this at first, although it was a joke, but... why five? According to her personality, shouldn't she be more easily shocked by a larger number?

In any case, once the Tiantong is successfully developed, first of all, if its appearance is revealed to existing humans, it will indeed greatly boost morale. Secondly, according to the Moonlight Throne theory, the Tiantong can indeed be regarded as the ultimate weapon for humans to fight against Honkai, and it is a Herrscher killer specifically designed to target the characteristics of the Herrscher.

If this is used as bait, the Tenth Herrscher will surely take the bait, just as the rumors they spread forced the Fire Moth to take notice.

"Everything is ready, we are just waiting for you to show up."

Although as a researcher, Admiller should not be good at fighting in theory, and in fact Admiller is indeed the one with the weakest fighting ability among the thirteen fallen angels, but that is also relative to the crazy thirteen fallen angels. At least in this research institute, the only one who can beat Admiller is Roverko in the collapsed state.

Fire Moth Headquarters, Family Area.

Mostima was operating on the keyboard, and she received a reply from Gray Snake, asking her to pay more attention to the recent status of the members of the Fire Moth and to be careful around her.

The Tenth Herrscher has appeared, but they are much weaker than normal Herrschers, so they can only lurk among the crowd in the guise of humans.

This was the information the gray snake told her.

Therefore, Mostima has been going out less recently and has been on guard against any strange people around observing her.

There is no way. Among the current World Snake leaders, she is the one with the weakest combat ability and the easiest to die... Who made her just an ordinary person who couldn't even undergo a fusion warrior surgery?

To be on the safe side, some of the gray snakes were lying in wait near the apartment.

Spiral Workshop.

Weiwei looked at the nearly completed The Harmony of the Stars and Seas, and said to Eden in a half-joking tone: "Eden, how about we try a different approach this time? Try something innovative? After all, The Harmony of the Stars and Seas was not originally designed by me, and I really don't want to create the same thing as others."

In the previous life, long before the Star Harmony was completed, Velvi was deprived of the power to make the Key of God, but this time it was different. Velvi was still the main engineer to make the Key of God.

"If you can find a melody that is more suitable for this core, that would be no problem, my friend." Eden said with a smile.

"Hmm... I really don't know why Yanar, a soldier's Herrscher Core, ended up being like a singer with his own unique melody..." Velvet shrugged and said that the analysis of the Herrscher Core of the Ninth Herrscher had already been completed, and the final conclusion was that the Harmony of the Stars was the most suitable divine key style to release the power of the Ninth Herrscher.

Eden laughed softly and was about to say something when suddenly Vilvi looked at the entrance of the Spiral Workshop and said in a playful tone, "Senator Laguerre, I remember you didn't make an appointment in advance. Are you coming here?"

"I'm not here to do anything. I just came to see the progress of the Ninth God Key." Laguiel smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Dr. Weiwei, you are also involved in the God-killing Weapon in the God-killing Plan, right?"

"Yes, shouldn't you have received the plan? The main persons in charge of these now are Admiral and Roffko. It's no use for you to ask me." Weiwei shrugged and said.

"Yeah... If there's a chance, I'd also like to discuss the top-secret plan of the Fire Moth with Dr. Admiral and Dr. Roffko, the ultimate weapon of mankind." Laguerre's eyes moved to the Harmony of the Star Sea on the workbench, "Now that we already have the God-Destroying Weapon, weapons like the God Key may seem a bit outdated. But now it seems that the Ninth God Key has been successfully manufactured?"

"Yes." Velvet looked at Laguerre and said, "But, Councillor Laguerre, it seems that quite a few people followed you to visit my Spiral Workshop?"

"After all, Feng needs to deal with the collapse on a small island, and Kevin has to go to Africa to suppress the riots. Now they are not in the Fire Moth, so this is the only chance we can seize." Laguerre spread out his hands and shook his head.

Weiwei chuckled. The Herrscher of the Thousand finally couldn't sit still. Laguerre became the Herrscher of the Thousand just like in his previous life. However, in his previous life, Laguerre led most of the individuals to besiege Mei and snatch the Key of Blankness. Unexpectedly, he came to her this time...

However, compared to Mei being besieged by hundreds of Thousand Herrschers, the number of Thousand Herrschers invading the Spiral Workshop is now too small.

"I didn't expect that you and I would be partners this time, Eden." Weiwei took out the first pocket watch she had repaired and carried with her as if nothing had happened. "How long do you think it will take?"

"That depends on how much you are willing to sacrifice your Spiral Workshop, Velvi." Eden smiled helplessly. She just came to take a look at the Celestial Harmony and try out the feel of it. The Ninth God Key has been in her hands since the last life, and she finally participated in the End War with the Celestial Harmony.

Apart from her, no one else could perfectly control the Ninth Divine Key, and would instead suffer backlash. This meant that before Eden mastered the Harmony of the Stars, this thing was no different from using it for self-destruction for other warriors. Otherwise, Su would not have disassembled the Harmony of the Stars into the Eden Binaries in the future to reduce its output power.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we can ask Mobius to reimburse the expenses afterwards~" Weiwei said with a smile, "She is much more generous than Mei."

"If Dr. Mebius knew that you deliberately took this opportunity to tear down and rebuild the Spiral Workshop, he would probably deduct at least half of your research budget like Dr. Mei did, right?" Eden smiled.

"Come on, Eden, present a wonderful magic of destruction to our Councillor Raguel and those uninvited audiences~" Velvet threw the Harmony of the Stars to Eden and prepared herself for the battle.

After all, although the two people here rarely take part in battles, they have participated in the End War.

"The Thousand Herrschers who attacked the Spiral Workshop only accounted for a small number of the total number of individuals, which means that this was not their main purpose... Then there should still be quite a few people in Mei's place..." Wilvi thought to herself and sounded the alarm.

Mebius Laboratories.

Hearing the alarm, Dan Zhu shouted in panic: "What happened? Did the Honkai Beast attack the Fire Moth? Eh? Spiral Workshop? And what happened to Dr. Mei's laboratory?!"

Mobius just glanced at Klein and said nothing. This time, it seemed that Klein did not become the Herrscher of the Thousand... Could this be considered a good thing? But why did the carrier of the Herrscher of the Thousand change this time? If the carrier of the Herrscher of the Thousand changed, would Michael still be the carrier of the Herrscher of Constraint?

Klein also looked a little panicked, but compared to Danzhu, she was already very calm. In addition, after Danzhu called her, she was not so panicked. After notifying the security personnel, Klein looked at Mebius: "Doctor, do we need to take shelter?"
