"But if that's the case, how can we deal with her?" Hen frowned and said, "If we suppress all forms of energy, assuming that the fusion warrior can last longer than ordinary people, but we don't have the means to find this Herrscher, and after finding her, whether we still have the energy to kill her... This is a problem..."
"It seems that we can only locate this anti-law person in the most primitive way." Mei said, "Before we get more detailed data, this is the only way..."
"What's the difference between this and letting the soldiers sacrifice their lives?" Hen's brows frowned even more tightly.
"But this is indeed the only way at the moment." Lionel sighed softly, "Fusion Warriors are more powerful than ordinary humans, and they are likely to be able to suppress the Anti-Herrser for a longer time... However, now that the incident happened suddenly, we still don't have enough understanding of this Herrser, and the Fusion Warriors can't be sacrificed easily... I think we should conduct a more detailed study on this and formulate a more complete strategy."
"Are we just going to watch the nearby residents die from this?!" said a councillor.
"At this point, why can't you give up those ideas?" Lionel looked at the councilman calmly and said, "In the face of Honkai, no price is too high to be accepted, and no sacrifice is too small to be ignored. Fusion warriors... are the last barrier of mankind. Through the screening of the Herrscher Core of the Tenth Herrscher, we have almost turned all the warriors with corresponding qualifications in the Fire Moth into fusion warriors. This also means that if one fusion warrior is sacrificed, there will be one less."
The congressman was silent.
"But don't we have all of humanity behind us..."
"Can an ordinary person becoming a fusion warrior be the same as a warrior becoming a fusion warrior?" Lionel said, "What's more, the selection of warriors by the Fire Moth is to select the best from the best. Among ordinary people, how many people can meet the conditions for fusion warrior surgery? In addition, we have to consider the time cost of training a qualified warrior. None of us knows whether the Herrscher of the End will give us this time."
Zhu Yufeng looked at the map of the conference center in silence. Suddenly, he felt his hand being held tightly by someone. He looked at Alicia. Alicia did not look at him. She just stared at the blank area on the map that appeared due to the collapse, with a complicated expression.
He knew what Alicia was thinking at the moment. The shadow of the tragedy of restraint seemed to be right in front of them and gradually became clear. He also held Alicia's hand without saying anything.
Because at this moment, no words will make any difference.
This is their common nightmare and the reality they must face.
"What has happened before will happen again..."
Chapter 309: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
"The first squad of the Fusion Warriors is in place. We are now outside the Divine Grace Barrier. Judging from the situation, the Divine Grace Barrier has temporarily stopped expanding." Zhu Yufeng said while holding the communicator, "I will personally enter the Divine Grace Barrier later to actually collect specific data."
"The Divine Grace Barrier can block all radio waves from the outside world, but with the help of the thought network built by Beffinger and Su with the help of Aponia, we can also understand the situation as soon as you enter the Divine Grace Barrier." Lionel said on the other end of the communicator, "Although after testing, it has been found that fusion warriors can indeed maintain activities in it for a long time, but the exact time is still unclear. Don't force it, Feng."
"It's rare to hear such words from you, Lionel." Zhu Yufeng said.
"It's just based on rational judgment, Feng. You and Kevin are now the two strongest fusion warriors. Losing even one of you would be an irreparable loss to humanity." Lionel said, "I don't really agree with you two taking risks."
"It is precisely because we are the strongest that we are the strongest." Zhu Yufeng said calmly, "Don't worry, even if I have any problems, Kevin can also..."
"What's wrong, Feng?"
"Ahem, it's nothing. It seems that I still can't say such things... Anyway, I will take care of my own safety. I'll leave my contacts outside to you."
Zhu Yufeng ended the call after he finished speaking, and glanced at Alicia beside him helplessly. The reason he paused just now was because Alicia pinched his waist hard.
Not so much...
Alicia crossed her arms and looked at Zhu Yufeng, saying in a dissatisfied tone: "Feng, don't always say such things."
Zhu Yufeng was silent for a moment, then said: "We all know what it means to go in. If we just stay in for a short time, it won't have much impact. But after this, Alicia, what will you choose?"
Alicia was silent.
This time the scope of the Divine Grace Barrier has been further expanded. After testing, the fusion warriors can have more time to move around in it than in the previous life. However, searching for the Ruler of Constraint hiding in it is still a big project. Even with the assistance of Aponia in the previous life, Su almost tried his best to establish a spiritual network for information exchange between fusion warriors. Even if Beffinger is added to share the pressure of building the spiritual network in this life, it will inevitably cause irreversible damage to them if it takes too long.
In addition, because there are still some dormant individuals of the Tenth Herrscher, the Fire Moth headquarters still needs to leave a few fusion warriors stationed there to prevent the main force of fusion warriors from being wiped out by the last dormant Tenth Herrscher while they are dealing with the Divine Grace Barrier.
Just like Destobia, Hen, and Seele, they all stayed in the headquarters. Although Astaroth was a fusion warrior, she was still young. When Lionel drew up the preliminary combat plan, he also included Astaroth in the column of stationing in the headquarters.
In addition, Mobius also stayed at the headquarters, after all, she was also responsible for extracting Michael's Herrscher core.
The dormant Tenth Herrscher who has disappeared is still a hidden danger that needs to be guarded against. Although the individual strength of the Tenth Herrscher may not be able to defeat a mere Emperor-level Honkai Beast, now that two Herrschers of Constraint have appeared, there is no guarantee that the Tenth Herrscher will undergo some strange changes.
Because Qianjie was under the special attack of the Herrscher of Constraint, he would lose consciousness immediately after entering the Divine Grace Barrier, so he was also left in the headquarters and would be transferred if necessary.
So back to the original question, does this time's crusade against the Eleventh Herrscher still require the same extreme measures as in the previous life?
The answer is still unknown, but based on the current situation, the decision regarding this crusade does not seem to be so difficult. The most direct evidence is that this time the divine grace barrier only has a complete isolation effect on conventional means of communication, and the suppression of fusion warriors does not seem to be as strong as in the previous life.
If the eleventh Herrscher could be defeated without too many sacrifices, that would be the best outcome.
Also, after witnessing the power of the End, Zhu Yufeng actually didn't care how many fusion warriors he could keep. With the power of the End, no matter how many fusion warriors there were, they would all be wasted. What he wanted to keep were his family members whom he cared about.
and……
Before setting off, Michael had said to him: "If civilization is destined to sink, then no matter how hard you try, no matter how you change the process, for Him, it is just a matter of taking a detour, and then reaching the same destination."
"It's not wrong to say that Honkai is issuing a declaration of war against me." Zhu Yufeng's gaze fell on Alicia and Lilith. Lilith noticed his gaze and just gave him a smile whose meaning was difficult to decipher, then pointed to the moon earring on her ear.
Zhu Yufeng subconsciously glanced at the sun earrings in his inner pocket. He didn't dare to put them on, but he never let them leave his body.
Lilith's attitude has been clear from beginning to end, and her choices have always been based on her final outcome.
"So, you heard all the conversations between Michael and me, right?" Zhu Yufeng said in his heart. After all, Lilith had absorbed the power of the Eighth Herrscher, so this kind of thing was a piece of cake for her. As long as Lilith was determined to listen, he really had no means to stop her at the moment.
"So? Feng, the moment you walked out the door, you already had the answer in your heart, didn't you? Then my answer is also very clear~ My words and my heart will never change. We will go to hell together, and we will fall into eternal damnation together."
Lilith's teasing words echoed in his mind, and Zhu Yufeng sighed helplessly. He knew that Lilith would never give up what she had done in her previous life...
Maybe Lilith would even think that was the right choice for her...
Before Michael told him those words, he actually already had an idea in his heart. But even though Michael said that, he still held out a glimmer of hope in his heart. What Michael told him was actually the only way for him to reach the ending he wanted when he was truly helpless and had no other way out.
"If this is the so-called will of Honkai, if that thing really exists... I really can't figure out what that guy is thinking. Is he trying to imitate God by closing the door but opening the window?"
Zhu Yufeng thought to himself, no matter whether it was true or not, he would definitely fight with the so-called "Honkai Will" in the end. The Herrscher of the End was created by the Cocoon of the End, so that thing was actually the will of the Cocoon? Then what exactly was the Cocoon of the End?
I don’t know, and there’s no need to think about it, because the enemy is blocking the way ahead.
His ultimate enemy is the Herrscher of the End, which also means that he will eventually come up against the Cocoon of the End.
However, in this case...
"Under the curtain of the end, they had already seen each other's fate. The end had come, and they had no choice... Humph, no choice?..."
Zhu Yufeng walked into the Divine Grace Barrier, then was stunned for a moment. He tried to circulate the Honkai energy in his body and found that although there was some delay, it obviously did not have much impact on his battle. If he wanted, he could still fly now.
"Is it because my identity as a Herrscher is higher than that of the Herrscher of Constraint, and the core of the Herrscher of Constraint here is incomplete, so the suppression effect of the constraint is weak on me?" Zhu Yufeng thought in his heart. He still remembered that in the plot, Rialto said that his power of constraint was granted by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers himself. In fact, the Herrscher of Constraint is indeed the strongest Herrscher under the Herrscher of the End. Although there is another Herrscher of Corrosion later, in terms of strength, it is too easy for the Herrscher of Constraint to kill Corrosion...
After all, the power of constraint is the most buggy power.
"Feng, how do you feel?" Su's voice sounded in his mind.
"Everything is normal at the moment... I even feel like I haven't been affected too much by this. Is it because of my identity as a Herrscher and the constraints I am facing now, that I am a flawed Herrscher?"
"Hmm... I'm not sure yet. I will communicate with Lionel and arrange for other fusion warriors to try it. You can move around a little bit inside and do more tests. For example, has your power been affected?"
"Power?"
Zhu Yufeng's mind moved, and he began to test the power he could use in the Divine Grace Boundary, then frowned: "The power of the Herrscher has been interfered with, but the Honkai energy that I can use has not been affected too much..."
In short, he is temporarily unable to use his power, but he will not instantly turn back into "Bai Lian", because apart from his identity as a Herrscher, he is also a fusion warrior. It's just that his power is locked, and it won't have much impact on his own use of Honkai energy. In other words, he is being targeted again...
But it only targets power.
After knowing the situation on Zhu Yufeng's side, Alicia and others soon entered the Divine Grace Barrier, and then looked at each other with some strange expressions. They also clearly felt that the suppressing effect of this Divine Grace Barrier was obviously much weaker than the one Michael had in his previous life.
"If it's just a Divine Grace barrier of this degree... this time, as long as we find the Ruler of Constraint, everything can be solved smoothly, right?" Ying tried to swing the knife. "There are not too many restrictions on movement. Although the perception ability has been greatly weakened, the ability to move at normal intensity is still available."
"Hmm... Sister Ying, how terrifying must the divine grace barrier you experienced in your previous life be..." Paduo stretched her body, "Now I feel like my breathing is not as smooth as before."
Paduo was supposed to stay at the headquarters this time, but she insisted on coming here. For Paduo, she was too lazy in her previous life. Although she was destined to be a dead end once she entered the Divine Grace Barrier, the reason she survived was because she caught a cold and could not participate in the battle. After that, Mostima and Xila, who had a good relationship with her, both died in the battle, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Moreover, her inner intuition also told her that nothing would happen this time.
Even if something happens, Padu is still prepared to come this time. She is no longer the same person as before. She did not choose to escape even in the Battle of the End. But are the constraints before the End more terrifying than the End?
Besides, Brother Yufeng is here too, so nothing will happen.
"Well... Kevin, Kosmo also said that Vishnu's devouring ability has been affected, but his ability to move has not been restricted too much." Su's voice sounded, "Other fusion warriors have also said that the impact is not great. Most of the special abilities brought by the super-mutation factor have been silenced. It is also common for breathing to become more labored."
"In other words, in this weakened version of the Divine Grace Barrier, even if you go too deep into the hinterland, you can still withdraw in time before you fall, right?" Zhu Yufeng asked, "Are there any other changes to the Divine Grace Barrier at present?"
"No other abnormalities have been found for the time being. After it stopped expanding, according to data obtained from external observations, it entered a state of stagnation, which is different from the time of Michael."
Although Michael stopped expanding at that time, he was still accumulating strength and waiting to develop. Did the Ruler of Constraint even stop developing this time?
Then this time the crusade will obviously be much easier than the previous life, and they don't need to race against time to search for the location of the Ruler of Constraint.
Zhu Yufeng frowned. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Could it really be so easy? The Tenth Herrscher had a traitor inside, which made them act so stupidly. The Seventh to Ninth Herrschers were all more or less targeting him. Besides putting up a divine grace barrier and sealing his power, was he just waiting to die?
"A special Honkai beast that is immune to the effects of the Divine Grace Barrier has appeared. A team of fusion warriors has already begun the battle. It is possible that the Judgment-level Honkai beast Gabriel will appear again as in the previous life." Su's voice sounded.
Judgment-level Honkai Beast Gabriel is the only Honkai Beast not named after a mythical god, but instead named after an angel. As a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, it should be the weakest one, but because it is completely immune to the effects of the Divine Grace Barrier, it will be the strongest Judgment-level Honkai Beast within the Divine Grace Barrier.
"Hmm?! There have been many Honkai phenomena outside the Divine Grace Barrier, and a large number of Honkai beasts have appeared and attacked nearby cities. Lionel has already begun commanding and deploying suppression operations... It may be necessary to mobilize some fusion warriors."
Zhu Yufeng: “…”
He knew it wasn't that simple, but he still felt like something was wrong.
The headquarters base of the Fire Moth.
"Dr. Einstein, our connection with Lionel and the others has been cut off!"
"What?!" Einstein was shocked. Then the instruments in the observation center seemed to be out of control and stopped working one after another.
Einstein didn't care about anything else, and quickly looked at the others and said, "Can the base still maintain communication at the moment?"
"No, the communications within the base have also been blocked!"
The girl walked in the empty garden with her eyes closed. She "looked" towards the location of the research institute and smiled.
Chapter 310: Restrained Attack
Fire Moth Headquarters, operating room.
"What happened? Did the instrument malfunction?" Mebius frowned as she looked at the unresponsive instrument. She had just anesthetized Michael and was preparing to remove the Herrscher core, but the malfunction of the instrument forced the operation to be temporarily terminated.
"Gray Snake, what happened inside the Fire Moth?" Mebius immediately looked at the Gray Snake beside him. It was impossible for the instrument to malfunction suddenly, and at this time. You know, before the operation, these instruments had been checked repeatedly to ensure the success of the operation, so there should be no problems.
In this situation, Mebius' first reaction was that it was related to the dormant Tenth Herrscher, but how did that remaining individual affect the instruments in his operating room?
The red light in the Gray Snake's eyes flickered, and finally he said in a puzzled voice: "I'm sorry, my master, I seem to have lost the connection with the Gray Snake network... It is also possible that the entire Gray Snake network is now paralyzed..."
"This is impossible." Rovkov said in the operating room, "The Gray Snake Network is a special network that is different from ordinary networks. Its path is an imaginary path. It is essentially an imaginary network..."
Suddenly, Roffko paused, her eyes fell on Michael on the operating table, her expression became extremely solemn: "Unless... it is the power of the eleventh ruler."
"Michael's core has remained stable before. Even if it has become active, there will be a trend or obvious signs. But our instruments have not detected any changes in her core." Mobius frowned, "Then there is only one possibility... The third Herrscher of Constraint has appeared in the Fire Moth..."
This is really out of the ordinary. I thought the appearance of two Rulers of Constraint was already very surprising, but now there is a third Ruler of Constraint?
"No." Mobius quickly denied his own speculation. "If the Herrscher's core is incomplete, it will directly affect the use of power. The operation of the Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire is proof of this. Once the number of Herrschers who bind Herrschers exceeds two, the Divine Grace barrier in the Visatan area will not be able to reach such a large range in a short period of time, nor will it achieve that effect..."
"But, according to current theories, the stronger human civilization becomes, the more likely the Herrschers will destroy human civilization." Roffko's eyes turned to the door of the operating room. "The suspicion caused by the Tenth Herrscher among the current high-level officials has never disappeared. The Herrscher of Constraint appeared to target the Fusion Warriors, so it may not be impossible to destroy the Fire-Chasing Moths, which are now the base against Honkai."
Three Rulers of Constraint, one attracts the firepower of the Fusion Warrior, one turns against them and is on the operating table, and the other is attacking the Fire Moth?
Mobius gritted his teeth. According to Roffko, this was not impossible... They had always been very careful to guard against any possible situation, but they could never have imagined that there would be multiple Herrschers with bug-level powers.
The fusion warriors who stayed behind at the Fire Moth headquarters were more than enough to guard against the missing Tenth Herrscher, but if the opponent turned out to be the Herrscher of Constraint...
"But why are we okay?" Klein asked, "If it is really the third Eleventh Ruler who appeared, her power should also have an impact on ordinary people like me, right?"
"It may be because the core is dispersed, resulting in the weakening of the power, so that she can only block the external information exchange of the Fire Moth in a large area." Luo Fukou analyzed, "However, the Fire Moth headquarters will keep in regular contact with Lionel who is commanding the crusade in the Visatan area. If we lose contact, Lionel should react quickly. However, we don't know what the current situation of Feng and the others is, and whether they can rush back to the Fire Moth as soon as possible."
"Maybe Lionel won't be able to take care of us." Mobius said in a cold voice, "If Honkai is clearly targeting us, the main force of fusion warriors will be transferred away from the Fire Moth, and Lionel will be in regular contact and command outside the Divine Grace Barrier. At this time, if a Honkai beast tide appears and he has to suppress it... he will have no time to take care of the current situation of the Fire Moth headquarters."
Mobius had great confidence in Zhu Yufeng's current strength. He believed that as long as he found the Ruler of Constraint in the Divine Grace Barrier, he could kill him as quickly as possible. However, the search speed was a problem. After Zhu Yufeng knew the situation here, whether he could get back in time as quickly as possible was also a problem.
Failed!
"Then Doctor, what should we do now?" Klein asked nervously.
"The Ninth Herrscher once showed a strong purpose towards the Herrscher Core of the First Herrscher, which had not yet been made into the Key of God. The purpose of the Herrscher of Constraint may include Lilim. Of course..." Mobius looked at Michael, "As another Herrscher of Constraint, the Herrscher Core in Michael's body must also have a strong attraction to her."
"I remember that Lilim was with Astaroth today." Roffko said, "And Ling, Gresh, and Blanca, they are all with Astaroth now. With Astaroth's protection, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term. But other ordinary people..."
Mobius uttered a "tsk" and quickly thought of a strategy: "Immediately find a way to notify the others in the Fire Moth, even if it is the most primitive way. Of course, first notify and confirm Qianjie's situation. If this Ruler of Constraints fails to completely suppress Honkai Energy... Qianjie is the last trump card. At the same time, tell Einstein to immediately send warriors out of the range of the Fire Moth headquarters and do their best to convey the news here to the outside world!"
However, the most basic power of the Ruler of Constraint is to suppress Honkai energy, so it is hard to say how much effect Qianjie can have... But now, the strongest fighting force left in the Fire Moth headquarters is only Qianjie.
Mebius glanced at Klein again. If Klein was fine now, it meant that the influence of the Divine Grace Barrier on ordinary people had not spread here yet?
In the Visatan area, within the Divine Grace barrier.
"Huh... breathing is becoming more labored." Padu took a deep breath and said, "Is the effect of the Divine Grace Barrier getting stronger?"
"It's the weakening effect of the Divine Grace Barrier that's taking effect." Zhu Yufeng said, "Although it seems to have little impact on us at the moment, it's still there. If we stay in it for a long time, we'll still be affected. What's more, we're still attacked by the special Honkai beasts in the Divine Grace Barrier from time to time and have to fight back."
"Compared to the divine grace barrier in the previous life, this level doesn't have much of an impact now." Ying tightly gripped the hilt of the Seven Thunders of Purification at her waist, alert to changes in the surrounding environment.
