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

Chapter 312: Dilemma

Visatan area, the center of the Divine Grace barrier.

"Is this the center of the Divine Grace Barrier... As expected, here, the Divine Grace Barrier's suppressive effect on energy has reached the same level as in the previous life. The Ruler of Constraint should be here." Zhu Yufeng said, looking around.

"But there's nothing here..." Padu looked left and right. There was no sign of any life in the ruins.

"Indeed, Beffinger's mind perception did not find any trace of the Herrscher's fluctuations." Su's voice sounded. In the last life, it was Beffinger's mind perception that locked onto Michael's location. But this time, the scope was narrowed, but even Beffinger couldn't find the location of the Herrscher of Constraint?

"Is it possible that the Ruler of Constraint this time has evolved some power similar to the ability to conceal?" Lilith asked.

Alicia and Zhu Yufeng looked at Lilith. They knew that Lilith had taken over the power of the Eighth Herrscher. Lilith just crossed her arms and said, "Because I didn't find any trace of the existence of a mind. Unless this Herrscher of Constraints has no mind and does not have the basic conditions for life, the only explanation is that she has evolved the ability to conceal herself."

"Are you sure that your special abilities are not affected by the suppression of the Divine Grace Barrier?" Zhu Yufeng asked.

Mostima and Paddo cast doubtful looks at Lilith. In their previous lives, none of them had ever heard that Lilith's special ability included mind perception. However, this special ability was generally not very useful. Astaroth and Grayshu also had mind perception ability. This ability was indeed dispensable to Lilith.

It is reasonable that they don’t know…

"Maybe." Lilith shrugged. "But I think you are the one who is targeted the most. You have always been the one who is taken care of by the Divine Grace Boundary. What's more, you are now in the area where the Herrscher may exist. No matter how severely my ability is suppressed, it is not to the point where I can't feel any trace of thinking. Putting aside my ability, isn't it also a problem that Beffinger has not been found?"

Zhu Yufeng: “…That makes sense.”

"I don't have the special abilities like you and Beffinger, but I can sense the danger that permeates the air in this area." Ying half-bent down, holding the hilt of the Seven Thunders of Purification at her waist. "I can confirm that the enemy is here, but it's hard for me to confirm her location."

"Yes, there are enemies." Xila nodded, expressing her agreement with Ying's words.

"Of course, I can feel it to some extent." Zhu Yufeng said, "Even if my perception is disturbed, my body's instinct is still warning me, but it is limited to knowing that there is danger. If the other party does not take action, we can only waste time here. Or..."

Zhu Yufeng looked at his hands and could see the golden Honkai energy spreading from his hands to other areas like a stream of light: "I will try to forcibly use Honkai energy to counter the suppression of the Divine Grace Barrier and release my existing power. If she wants to continue to suppress me, she must show up."

"Feng, don't force it." Alicia said.

"Don't worry." Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes. "Since we have found where she is, it is acceptable to indulge her a little. After all, I am now a 'rebel' who has been challenged by Honkai himself... What's more, I am only activating my power for a short period of time. There will be no problem."

When he entered the Divine Grace Barrier, he thought about whether he could forcibly use his Honkai energy to offset the Divine Grace Barrier and break the Divine Grace Barrier from the "quality" level. However, this idea could only be imagined, because if he did so, it would be easy for others to discover his identity as a Herrscher, which would bring some unnecessary trouble.

Now this is the depths of the Divine Grace Barrier. It is impossible for ordinary fusion warriors to go deep into this place.

Alicia wanted to say something, but Lilith just crossed her arms and said, "Don't worry, he has always been very clear about himself in this regard... He would rather take on everything himself, and because of this... Maybe there will be changes in the end, but his ending may not change."

"Lilith, you..." Alicia looked at Lilith, but Lilith just kept her eyes on Zhu Yufeng, becoming distant and quiet.

He had already made his choice, and her answer had never changed.

Even if the road ahead is a bottomless abyss, they will go to hell together and fall into eternal damnation together.

Alicia lowered her eyes, as if thinking about something.

Zhu Yufeng raised his right hand, and golden cross patterns appeared on the back of his hands. His pupils were stained with silver light, and his hair gradually turned silver from the tips upwards.

A golden light enveloped him, and when the light faded, a Seraphim with a halo appeared.

He once threw himself into darkness, letting the fire of hell burn his soul. Now he chose light again, just to trample his fate under his feet when the moment that was destined to come came.

"You want to replace the wreath of thorns woven by the person who bears the world's suffering with a crown adorned with stars? Oh, that's indeed your style." Lilith thought to herself, her eyes fell on Zhu Yufeng's hands, "The cross on both hands... Are you willing to be crucified for her?"

Outside the divine grace barrier.

Beffinger opened his eyes. Forcing himself to use his special ability to conduct a large-scale detection of the Divine Grace Barrier had caused great harm to his body. His head felt like it was about to split open, and his eye sockets were already shedding traces of blood and tears. However, he opened his eyes not because he couldn't bear it anymore, but because he just noticed something else.

He looked towards the inside of the Divine Grace Barrier and touched his chin thoughtfully.

Just now, there was a strange energy fluctuation of a Herrscher. Is it the Herrscher of Constraint?

No, the nature of the energy fluctuations of that Herrscher is different from that of the Herrscher of Constraint. Remember those researchers always talked about the Herrscher X theory, and...

"Sir Beffinger, is there something wrong with the Divine Grace barrier?!"

"No, no, everything is going well. I believe we will hear the news of Feng and the others' victory soon." Beffinger closed his eyes again and continued to observe every move within the Divine Grace barrier with Su.

The powerful Honkai energy shook the Divine Grace Barrier, and the person behind the scenes who had been hiding his figure finally revealed his true form on the empty sky. He was a giant alien Honkai beast with six pairs of wings.

Zhu Yufeng exited his Herrscher form, looked up at the gigantic Honkai beast, and after a moment of silence, he spoke its name: "Gabriel?"

"Compared to what I saw in the archives before, it seems a little different?" Alysia pulled the bow. "So, is the Herrscher of Constraint hiding inside its body?"

"No, there is no Herrscher vibration in his body. This has been confirmed by Beffinger." Su's voice was full of solemnity. "Moreover, Beffinger said... judging from the energy flow of the Divine Grace Barrier, the center of the Divine Grace Barrier is undoubtedly this alien Honkai Beast, and it may have reached the end of the law level!"

"The Divine Grace Barrier was created with Honkai Beast as the core, but the whereabouts of the Herrscher is still unknown..." Zhu Yufeng frowned. It couldn't be said that Gabriel appeared automatically, right?

"No!" Zhu Yufeng reacted, "Su, is there anything unusual going on there? And is there any news from the headquarters now?!"

The others also quickly realized what Zhu Yufeng meant. Su's voice was filled with solemnity: "Leonard is in charge of the contact with the headquarters, but he has not reported any information about the headquarters so far. The suppression operation against the Honkai beast tide is also ongoing, and there are no abnormalities."

"Brother Yufeng, you mean... another Ruler of Constraint went to Sister Snake's side? This is that... "

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain." Lilith's tone was full of amusement. "It seems that we have all been tricked by the Ruler of Constraint."

If the other Herrscher of Constraint did not appear here, then thinking of Michael in the Fire Moth, it is not difficult to guess where she would appear. If the Herrscher's core is incomplete, then a normal Herrscher would want to make up for his power first, so...

"We must fight quickly and decisively!" Zhu Yufeng gritted his teeth and said, "Su, go and confirm the situation at the headquarters with Lionel first!"

As if he understood the intentions of Zhu Yufeng and others, Gabriel's body began to glow, and the range of the divine grace barrier began to shrink. Its effect suddenly increased at this moment, and cracks gradually began to spread on Gabriel's body.

“Even if it costs you your own life and reduces the range of the barrier, are you going to drag us here?” Zhu Yufeng stared at Gabriel with his silver eyes, and golden light began to surge on his body.

"Feng, are you really going to do this?" Lilith's voice sounded, "If you forcibly release your power and kill Gabriel in the Divine Grace Barrier, your identity as a Herrscher will be revealed. Can humans really accept you now?"

"I……"

"If the Black Abyss White Flower was still in your hands, it might not be difficult to kill Gabriel without using the power, but you gave it back to Seele." Lilith said, "Honkai, it was indeed a good move."

Lilith lowered her eyes: "What has happened will happen again. The dilemma before the tragedy of restraint is reappearing in this way..."

Either he would reveal his identity as a Herrscher and quickly kill Gabriel and return to the headquarters for support, or he would be held back by Gabriel. During this period, he could only hope that the warriors left behind in the headquarters could compete with the Herrscher of Constraint, whose power was not yet complete, to buy enough time.

In the Divine Grace Boundary, even Kevin, who had obtained the Skyfire, could not kill Gabriel in such a short time...

"Or we can hold Gabriel back, and Boss Yufeng, you go back first!" Mostima suggested.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gabriel began to attack the warriors who had gathered together. Feathers of light dropped from the sky like sharp swords, forcing everyone to fight with all their strength.

"I'm too late. The Divine Grace Barrier is centered on Gabriel, which means it will move with Gabriel. Now Gabriel has reached the level of an end-level Honkai beast, and a lot of our power has been suppressed inside the Divine Grace Barrier. So, the outcome is hard to say." Lilith said.

Once someone wants to leave, Gabriel will chase after him and the Divine Grace Barrier will move. Outside the Divine Grace Barrier, there are still many ordinary people, including Mei!

"I'm completely... in a passive position."

Lilith's tone was light and even Sakura was glaring at her at this moment. Her sister Ling was still in the headquarters, and Lilith's daughter was also there, but Lilith's attitude showed that she didn't care at all!

"Ling is with Grayshu and the others at Astaroth's place today." Zhu Yufeng said, "With Astaroth's ability, even in Michael's divine grace barrier, she can protect those children for a while..."

"maple……"

"It's not certain what will happen if someone runs into Astaroth's protection area. After all, Astaroth is not likely to refuse others, right?" Lilith chuckled.

"Lilith!" Alicia frowned. At this moment, she was angry at Lilith's behavior of adding fuel to the fire.

She never expected that this time, all the pressure would be placed on Zhu Yufeng...

The flames shot up into the sky, and Kevin's voice reached everyone's ears: "Feng, believe us, you will not fight alone this time, let us work together to kill Gabriel!"

"Kevin..."

Lilith turned her gaze to Alicia. How come even Kevin can come and steal your spot?

Alicia has no time to deal with Lilith. Time waits for no one and not a minute can be wasted. Instead of making a fuss with Lilith, it is better to focus on Gabriel. If this is the pressure that Honkai brings to Zhu Yufeng, how can it not be the same for others?

This time, no one would let him bear all this alone again.

The headquarters of the Fire Moth, the outer circle of the Divine Grace Barrier.

Hen dragged his feet as if they weighed a thousand pounds as he walked towards the outside world. In order to pass the news to the outside world as quickly as possible, he disobeyed Mebius's warnings along the way, and used up all his strength to hurry on his way. After consuming too much Honkai energy, he could hardly see the road ahead when he was about to reach the outer edge of the Divine Grace Barrier.

He fell to the ground with a plop. His consciousness was almost blurred, but he had not given up. Every beat of his heart brought unbearable pain, and his brain was buzzing constantly. Hen crawled on the ground with all his strength, and gradually he almost completely lost his eyesight. He could no longer see anything.

"I can't yet..."

Hen was still crawling forward. At this moment, he felt nothing except the excruciating pain that was like the sound of death in every cell.

Suddenly, he felt his outstretched right hand regain some sensation, and he knew that he had arrived outside the divine grace barrier.

He used up his remaining strength to turn on the switch of the communicator in his right hand, pushed the communicator as far as possible, and then his hand fell to the ground weakly.

The outer perimeter of the divine grace barrier in the Visatan area.

"We can't guarantee that the current speculation is not a conspiracy of the Ruler of Constraint." Lionel frowned and said, "Although we have indeed lost contact with the headquarters, we cannot rule out the possibility of other situations... If we go back and find nothing, and are caught off guard by the Ruler of Constraint, things will be even worse. What's more, even if Feng and the others rush back now, after experiencing the battle in the Divine Grace Boundary, how can they deal with a Ruler of Constraint who is waiting for them at ease after a long journey?"

"I agree with Lord Lionel. At least until the situation is confirmed, we cannot act rashly and disrupt the morale of the army." Mei said.

Wei Wei was silent, but smiled bitterly in her heart: "Really... I was tricked by the Ruler of Constraints..."

Suddenly, the communicator connected to the headquarters rang, and the message transmitted was just one recorded sentence: "The headquarters has been attacked by the Ruler of Constraint. The closer we are to the outside world, the stronger the effect of the Divine Grace Barrier will be!"

Everyone present was silent.

"How about, sir, we..."

"Keep the news secret. No one is allowed to leak this information before the battle in the Divine Grace barrier is over!" said Lionel.

"But!"

"I must be responsible for Feng and the others' lives!"

Chapter 313 A Glimmer of Hope

The Fire Moth Headquarters, Honkai Energy Observation Center.

"Tsk..." An impatient expression appeared on the face of the Herrscher. She stared at Mobius in front of her and said in a mocking tone: "Are you becoming like a snake and being too clingy?"

Mobius held her arm and stared at the Herrscher. She had just arrived at the Honkai Energy Observation Center to take Einstein away, but she was a step too late. The Herrscher of Constraint found and attacked this place earlier than her, and just when the Herrscher of Constraint was about to leave, she ran into her.

The moment he saw the Herrscher, Mobius already knew that all the researchers in this observation center and the dormant gray snakes might have been completely wiped out.

The two sides quickly engaged in a battle. As a pure scientific researcher, even though he had become a fusion warrior, Mobius's combat experience was not very rich. However, he had participated in the End War after all, and he still had the most basic combat qualities. However, with the protection of the Divine Grace Barrier around the Ruler of Constraint, Mobius, who was directly restrained by the opponent, still fell into a disadvantage.

If it weren't for Shesha's special ability, she would have died several times by now.

But this was also within the scope of Mobius's plan. If she couldn't defeat the Herrscher of Constraint, then dragging her here was also an idea. Moreover, she also discovered that the size of the divine grace barrier around the Herrscher of Constraint, which could reach the strength of Michael in the previous life, was very small. In other words, Qianjie could act outside a certain range.

But how can we pass the message while delaying the Herrscher?

"The ability to resurrect is really annoying." The Herrscher frowned and said, then her expression turned cold. She sensed the message from her companion Honkai beast in another place. For her, time did not allow her to be dragged down by Mobius any longer. It was hard to say how long Gabriel could hold off the "traitor". She had to obtain full power before the "traitor" killed Gabriel and came back.

Otherwise, she would be easily torn to pieces by that guy...

operating room.

"It's been a long time since the doctor went to see Dr. Einstein..." Klein said with some concern, "The Herrscher of Constraint is still missing in the Fire Moth headquarters..."

"It is certain that she will come here." Rovko's eyes fell on Michael. "Here is the other half of the power that she must merge. If she really comes here, that will be the biggest headache for us. Once the Ruler of Constraint has mastered the complete power, the effect of the Divine Grace Barrier will probably be evenly transformed into its maximum degree of suppression."

"But, isn't there still a part of the power in the hands of the Ruler of Constraint that Feng and the others are going to face?"

“Not really.” Rovkov handed Klein a piece of paper covered with numbers and various symbols. At the end of the paper was Rovkov’s final conclusion after a series of calculations:

If the power of the Ruler of Constraint wants to maintain the minimum integrity, it can only be split into two at most.

"what do you mean……"

"We have all overlooked one thing. The companion Honkai beast will have similar special abilities as its master." Luo Fukou said calmly, "In other words, if the Herrscher of Constraint has a companion Honkai beast, then does this companion Honkai beast also have the ability to create a divine grace barrier?"

"But this is too..."

Klein wanted to say it was impossible, but she remained silent. In theory, it was unlikely that the companion Honkai beast of the Ruler of Constraint would have the ability to create a divine grace barrier, but Honkai often did not go by the rules. Even if everyone thought it was impossible, it might be the most likely to happen.

Moreover, including the Doctor, Velvi and others, fell into a thinking trap because of the fact that the Herrscher core in Michael's body was incomplete and the strange situation of the Divine Grace barrier that appeared in the Visatan area. That is, the Divine Grace barrier was created by another incomplete Herrscher of Constraint.

After all, no one could have imagined that this time the special ability of the companion Honkai beast was not similar to that of its master, but became almost completely the same...

Everyone was careless and was severely tricked by Honkai.

After coming to the conclusion that the Herrscher of Constraint had attacked the Fire Moth's headquarters, Roffko calculated the individual existence limit of the Herrscher Theory on manuscript paper without the aid of any instrument, which made Klein somewhat impressed.

"You don't need to look at me like that. This is just my special ability as a fusion warrior." Rolfko looked towards the door of the operating room. "Now we should think about how to kill the Herrscher of Constraint before Feng and the others come back, or try to survive."

"Well... we must stop the Herrscher of Constraint from coming here and taking away Michael's Herrscher Core!" Klein said, "If the Herrscher of Constraint becomes complete, not only will all of us die, but it will also become more difficult for Feng and the others to defeat the Herrscher of Constraint. Maybe... we will have to pay a huge price..."

"A huge... price..." Luo Fuko pressed her forehead. She felt a headache. She didn't know if it was because she had used her special ability to calculate in the Divine Grace Boundary, or because of some familiar scenes...
