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

Kosmo nodded, put his hand on Zhu Yufeng's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Feng, this time... we can definitely do it, we can definitely do it."

Zhu Yufeng remained silent and just asked, "What about Klein and Imer..."

"Klein hasn't changed at all yet, and is the same as in his last life..." Mebius said with a wry smile, "As for Imer, he is still the same as before, he has become a Herrscher of the Thousand, fought with Qianjie, and has been confirmed dead."

"What about Raphael?" Zhu Yufeng asked again.

Mobius looked at the remains of the Houkai beast that was supposed to be the companion of the Thousand Herrscher and said, "It has been confirmed that Raphael was most likely one of the leaders of the Thousand Herrscher this time and participated in planning this operation. He... merged with this Houkai beast together with several other Thousand Herrscher individuals, just like what Uriel did during the Seventh Herrscher incident."

"Is this so..."

"It's just that..." Mobius's expression became a little strange, but she finally said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal. The most urgent thing now is to count the losses caused by this turmoil and the number of Thousand Herrscher cores recovered."

Kosmo glanced at Mobius, then at Zhu Yufeng, and decisively chose to remain silent.

When the Honkai Beast formed by the fusion of the Thousand Herrschers was defeated by Yuga, Kosmo and Desdobia also participated in the recovery of the wreckage. At that time, Raphael still had a breath left. When he saw Kosmo, he used up his last bit of strength to grab Kosmo's hand and said those words:

What has been done will be done again, and what has been done will be done again.

He also emphasized that Zhu Yufeng must be told.

Kosmo could see Raphael's perseverance as a warrior from his eyes, which were almost unfocused at the time. It was the message he was trying to convey by clinging to the last bit of his humanity... Moreover, Kosmo even understood Raphael's intention at that moment. After inciting the other Thousand Herrschers to launch this turmoil, he also took the initiative to fight with Yuga, trying to die together with Yuga, a possible threat to humans.

That’s why this unrest has become so strange. Although the Thousand Herrschers obviously planned this unrest in an organized and premeditated manner, the execution of it was simply... dismal compared to the previous life.

The most outrageous thing is that a Thousand Herrscher tried to attack Grayshus and Astaroth who were leading Lilith at the time. However, before Astaroth could make a move, the Thousand Herrscher was killed by Lilith. This was very outrageous.

It was like giving away a head, there was only one Thousand Herrscher attacking that side.

In this operation, although the Thousand Herrschers focused on attacking the laboratory where Mei and Weiwei were, their number was still quite small compared to the previous life...

To put it simply, the Thousand Herrschers who stayed at the Fire Moth headquarters to launch the attack this time launched the attack in a rather scattered form.

This "smart" operation makes it hard not to doubt whether there is a traitor among the Thousand Herrschers.

But...if what Raphael said was correct, and he emphasized that Feng must be told...

(What exactly did he want to say? Was it that the tragedy of restraint would happen again, or was there something else? However, it was not appropriate to tell Feng about this matter at the moment... It was just that Mastema was attacked, which could cause Feng to react so strongly. If the tragedy of restraint happened again, or in other words, there was such a possibility, Feng... Mobius was right. Before the incident of the Eighth Herrscher, I was also like this. I was even depressed and wanted to give up... In any case, it would be better not to tell Feng for now.)

Zhu Yufeng looked at Kosmo, then at Mobius. It was obvious that Mobius wanted to say something but forced himself to hold it back, while Kosmo's words were clearly written on his face.

"Is it my turn to be kept in the dark this time..." Zhu Yufeng smiled bitterly in his heart. He could more or less guess that this matter was related to him, and it was not appropriate to tell himself.

However, since they didn't intend to tell him, there was no need for him to forcefully ask.

After all... no one would harm him.

"What is the current estimate of the damage caused to the Fire Moths by this unrest?" Zhu Yufeng directly changed the subject.

"It's still within the tolerable range. Compared to the previous results, it's already a...good result." Mobius wrote in his notebook, "Gather everyone who knows about this and unify their statements. Even Alicia can't be told."

And one more thing, why did the Thousand Herrschers this time have some human thoughts, even if it was only a little bit, it was better than the last life when there was none at all... Did Alicia's power play a role? Or was it because the humans in the last life made one mistake after another, and all those who became Herrschers were completely desperate and no longer tried to resist?

After all, Michael explained that after she became the Ruler of Constraint in her previous life, she still retained some of her own thoughts, but she just thought that humans no longer needed to resist and should not resist, so she resolutely carried out the will of Honkai.

All in all, the tragedy of restraint is not only a very difficult hurdle to overcome for Yu Feng, but also for the woman Alicia.

It’s not that I’m worried about Alicia’s mental state or something. I’m worried that if I tell her, she will tell Yu Feng. Who will care about her mental state?

"By the way, where did that Alicia go?" asked Mobius.

"As for Alicia, she went to help Seele and the others clean up the remaining Honkai beasts." Zhu Yufeng said, "At this time, she should have almost finished dealing with them."

Although it is too easy for Alicia to deal with the remaining Honkai beasts, this time Alicia is prepared to observe Seele's current battle situation as a guide.

But Seele actually has almost the same strength as Ying Jie so far, right?

Zhu Yufeng shifted his gaze to the remains of the Thousand Herrscher again, and fell into deep thought. He once again remembered the message that the Cocoon of the End had conveyed to him through the image of his past self in front of the Cocoon of the End.

What has happened will happen again... Is it a tragedy of restraint, or the last banquet?

What has been done must be done again... What does this mean? Will I break up with Alicia again, or will Alicia make that choice in the end? Or, when the final battle comes, will I still be the same as in my previous life?

Or is all of this just a trick used by the Cocoon of the End to block its sight?

Oh... fate...

He suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Aponia in his previous life:

"I will not encounter misunderstanding and malice from others because of taking this path, and I will not punish myself for the crimes they have committed, because this will have no effect other than lowering me to the same level as them."

"maple……"

"Since we are challenging fate, if we can't even do this, we will only be mocked by fate and struggle humbly in the cycle of reincarnation. I read this in a book."

But in fact, there is another sentence behind it that he didn’t say.

Doing this does not mean that you will succeed. Even if you still fail in the end, fate will no longer be able to deceive your eyes with some flashy garbage.

Yes, when challenging fate, one should have been mentally prepared for failure. In other words, failure should be more in line with expectations, while success is proof that one is better than fate.

It’s just… the Tenth Herrscher incident seems to be coming to an end, and the Eleventh Herrscher incident is also approaching… I am now somewhat shaken, just like Kosmo was during the Eighth Herrscher incident.

He thought he had figured it out, but his subconscious actions after learning about Mostima's attack revealed that, subconsciously, he was indeed afraid of the nightmare repeating itself.

Maybe... I will have to go to Aponia again later.

Chapter 292: The "Compromise" of Fate

"Kevin and Alicia, which one do you think it is, Aponia?"

Zhu Yufeng looked at Aponia and said this.

"A long time ago, I saw Kevin's final fate. He would leave alone." Aponia looked at Zhu Yufeng and said, "As he moved towards the end, he lost all his companions and his lover little by little... If this will be your fate, Feng..."

"The fallen angel took on Ying Jie's fate, and in return, the future will continue..." Zhu Yufeng turned his gaze to the operating room, "If I want to change everyone's fate, someone has to take on their original fate. If you think about it this way, it seems that fate is not that stubborn."

"Feng, I'm not kidding. You are putting your life on the table." Aponya said softly, "You shouldn't do this..."

"No, it's just that the possibility you told me inspired me." Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes, "What has happened will happen again, what has been done will be done again... If everything cannot be changed after all, then before the new and old civilizations alternate, Alicia will still sacrifice herself like in the previous life to exchange possibilities for the next era. I finally understand... The time to go back has come, the daughter of God bids farewell to the world she loves deeply with nostalgia, and returns to the sky with wings..."

Aponya's expression changed: "Feng, what you mean is..."

"If this day comes eventually..." Zhu Yufeng looked down at his hands and said, "What will happen if I fold her wings when she is about to leave?"

Aponiya looked at Zhu Yufeng without saying anything.

"What has happened will happen again, the return to the origin cannot be changed, what has been done must be done again, someone must leave hope called the seeds of humanity for the next civilization. Ha..." Zhu Yufeng laughed softly, "Is that so..."

"Maple." Aponia said, "You... don't have to be so pessimistic. Even though you and I think that Mostima took on the fate of Mobius and Sakura in this incident, it cannot be ruled out that it was a coincidence."

"This is not pessimism, Aponia." Zhu Yufeng looked at Aponia and said, "This is something that must be prepared for. If you look at it from another angle, isn't this fate bowing to me? It admitted its failure, so it had to compromise with me."

Aponya frowned slightly: "But such a 'compromise'..."

"We can't always have the best expectations, because we have no way out. Honkai can fail countless times, but humans... can only fail once. We can only fail once." Zhu Yufeng said, "So far, neither Mobius nor Velvet have figured out the real reason and mechanism of time reversal. We don't know if we can have another chance to start over. Of course, for me, no matter how many times, I will not change my choice. I want to save Alicia and reverse everyone's original fate..."

Because I was once one of those captains, and of course I would be like that guy in the Quantum Sea, grabbing that person's hand no matter how many times.

Even if he would be destroyed a thousand or ten thousand times in the final battle, he would swear to protect these companions whom he loved and trusted and who loved and trusted him... his family.

"Fate cannot make me bow my head. In my eyes, the so-called drama of the gods is just some gorgeous garbage used to confuse people's eyes." Zhu Yufeng continued, "But I have always been very clear in my heart that there is a price to pay for resisting fate, and I am enough to make fate agree to the price I pay and bow to me."

Aponia looked at Zhu Yufeng, and in a trance, he seemed to see the cold and indifferent Lucifer in his previous life, who seemed to have no regard for anything in the world, but...

No, he is no longer alone like in his previous life. He has fallen angels and heroes by his side. Although he will still make the same choice as in his previous life, this time, he made the same choice again for everyone.

"After all... this is what I promised Alicia. I will save her fate and save her from having to leave this world that she is reluctant to leave." Zhu Yufeng's lips curled up slightly with a smile, "This is also what I promised myself."

Abonya lowered her eyes. She knew that the man in front of her was more stubborn than anyone else and would not listen to advice more than anyone else.

but……

She remembered the initial wish of everyone she met on Dusk Street at the beginning of her rebirth, which was to save the person in front of her who was already deeply trapped in the quagmire of fate.

This man is more arrogant than anyone else. He is so conceited that he thinks he can save everyone. However, he is also more sober than anyone else and clearly understands the end he will face.

Destiny is not unchangeable. When He began to bow to the rebellious fallen angels, it proved His failure and the fallen angels' success.

This arrogant guy... does he really not know that no one will take all his efforts for granted? Or is he so arrogant that he doesn't care about the feelings that others will have because of his efforts?

Aponia looked at the young man in front of her. Now, the only thing she could see was that the fate of this young man would be destroyed once again. This was the price he paid for fate, and this was his will that he would never change.

"But you won't be alone anymore..." Abonya whispered. She had never been looking forward to a miracle as much as she was now. She was looking forward to a reversal of fate like in her previous life. But she knew very well in her heart that this miracle was in the hands of all the heroes.

"call……"

Zhu Yufeng let out a long breath, as if a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He said to Abonya, "Thank you for talking to me about this. I am now somewhat... enlightened."

Aponia smiled bitterly. Didn't this so-called conversation and "enlightenment" really make you even more crazy?

But she did not speak. She had never been good at speaking, and she knew very well that if she wanted the man in front of her to change, to let go of everything he was carrying, it would be after everything was settled and everyone welcomed the dawn of a new life together. Only then would he truly let go of everything, and Lucifer would disappear from then on.

Unfortunately, she was not a genius like Mebius and Velvi, nor was she a warrior like Kevin and Qianjie. All she could do for him was to keep today's conversation with him and not tell it to anyone else. He did not want anyone else to bear the burden of this destiny.

"By the way, Aponya, what we said today... well, can you keep it a secret for me?" Zhu Yufeng said, "Although these are all speculations between you and me, this topic is still a bit too heavy for Alicia and the others. We certainly don't want such a day to come, but we have to be prepared for it."

"Of course, Feng, I won't tell anyone else about this." Aponiya said softly.

"I'm sorry, Aponia. I said I didn't want everyone to know about this topic which is a bit too heavy, but... I still have to trouble you to keep it in your heart with me." Zhu Yufeng said apologetically.

Aponia shook her head slightly. She had long been accustomed to the separation of life and death brought by fate, so she was naturally the best person to talk to about this topic. As for the others... even Alicia, who seemed the most positive and hopeful, had deep doubts about the unknown future in her heart. The same was true for Mobius and Velvet. They had been working hard to change the shattered future. There were also Kevin, Kosmo and others...

Although no one usually talks about it, their determination to save the fallen angel in front of them is unquestionable.

Zhu Yufeng turned his gaze to the operating room again. Speaking of which, this time Mostima had to undergo the fusion warrior surgery to save her life because of severe Honkai energy erosion. Could this also be considered as her bearing the fate of Graysh? But Mostima didn't have parents to lose. If her blood-related parents died, Mostima would probably wave the flag and say well done...

My thoughts returned to myself again. If that day comes and I can't pull the trigger that determines my fate, who should I ask to pull the trigger...

Write it down first.

Mebius Laboratories.

"Doctor, according to the statistics of the Herrscher cores recovered by our current warriors, including those collected by Kevin and his team in Africa, and those collected by Ying and Feng during their missions outside, there are a total of 999 Herrscher cores." Klein said, holding the report in his hand, "Now, all the Herrscher cores have been transferred to the Spiral Workshop. After repeated confirmation by Velvet, there are indeed 999 Herrscher cores. According to Dr. Mei's opinion, we can use the core of the tenth Herrscher to make the Key of God, and then use the Key of God as a medium to further search for suitable people who are qualified for the fusion warrior surgery."

"999?" Dan Zhu exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that too exaggerated? Although I thought at the beginning that there would be a lot of Herrschers this time, this is too many, right? This... there can't be any more Herrschers..."

Cang Xuan stretched out his hand and covered Danzhu's mouth. It had been so long, but how come his sister still hadn't made any progress in this aspect? She said whatever she thought. Was it okay to talk about such things?

"999? Are you sure?" Mobius frowned, "The Herrscher core that Qianjie and Imer fought was not destroyed?"

"Uh... Doctor, you should have known this a long time ago. Imer's Herrscher core was one of the first batch we recovered." Klein said, "For this number that seems too coincidental, all of us have counted it again and again. Doctor Mei was also present, and it is indeed 999."

But this is clearly missing one...

"I see..." Mebius frowned slightly and said, "I will go and confirm the development of the Key of God with Vivi later. By the way, Klein, have you been feeling well recently?"

“Me? Um… I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere.” Klein blinked. She didn’t know why Dr. Mobius suddenly asked her this, but she was used to it. Ever since Feng came to the Fire Moth, Dr. Mobius didn’t like working overtime as much as before… Ahem, the doctor didn’t like working overtime in the first place. It was always me who worked overtime…

In short, the doctor started to give himself a vacation from time to time, and occasionally took himself and Feng and the others out to adjust his mood or something...

I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, because apart from experiments and writing reports, I didn’t pay much attention to other things, and I didn’t have any special hobbies. So when the rest time designated by the doctoral student came, I didn’t know what to do.

Fortunately, there was a Luo Fukou around at the time, so she observed what Luo Fukou did during his rest time, and then she tried to follow his example. As for why she didn't learn from Danzhu who was slacking off every day, Klein said that she still couldn't understand some of Danzhu's hobbies, but Luo Fukou was somewhat similar to herself.

Speaking of this, instead of worrying about his own condition, the doctor should really worry more about how to further develop his relationship with Feng. Lilith even has a child now - although it is not born naturally and not many people know about it, but this is really not good for himself and senior Blanca.

If this continues, the Doctor, who already had no advantages, will have even less advantages. After all, up to now, everyone else has learned how to cook, and only the Doctor is still waiting for Feng to bring him food...

If it weren't for the fact that the doctor is really busy these days, Senior Blanca would have rolled up her sleeves and was ready to teach the doctor how to cook herself.

Mebius looked up. Was Klein thinking about something wrong just now? There was an inexplicably familiar feeling of discomfort.

This girl must be thinking about herself and Yu Feng again. Isn't it just cooking? She, she can make instant noodles, which can be considered cooking! What's more, how can other people have the treatment of having Yu Feng come to deliver food like her? She won too much, okay?

Forget it. I am a magnanimous person and I won’t bother with her about it.

Since Klein was fine, where did the missing Herrscher core go? Although the role of a Thousand Herrscher was limited, if the remaining Thousand Herrscher jumped out and stabbed him in the back at the critical moment of the Final Battle, it would be a real problem.

Or is this the butterfly effect of constantly changing the original trajectory of fate after rebirth? Knowing that there are a thousand individuals of the Herrscher, and now there is only one left, these reborn people will constantly doubt the people around them, and the people around them will still be wary of others around them as in the previous life...

tsk...

But no matter what, the losses and impacts brought by the attack of the Thousand Herrscher this time are not as great as in the previous life, and people's hearts have not been crushed. In the previous life, the Thousand Herrscher was able to crush people's hearts not only because of the influence of suspicion, but also because of the repeated blows to human morale by the previous several Herrschers.

"We need to come up with a plan as soon as possible to find the remaining individual..."

Lionel's office.

"999 Herrscher cores?" Lionel looked at the report and fell into deep thought. "Just one is missing. Is it to make the remaining people suspicious of each other? It is in line with the style of the Herrscher this time... As expected, when it is made public, it should be announced as . The rest of the warriors who know about it...if they are not trustworthy, they must keep their mouths shut."

"I didn't expect that although there are more Herrschers this time, they are much weaker than I imagined." Beffinger sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and sharpened his nails with nail clippers. "I can't even beat you. You are such a loser."
