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

"Yu Feng...what's going on here?" Mebius's weak voice sounded.

Zhu Yufeng turned around and looked over. This time, Mobius had turned back into his childhood form as he was in his previous life when he was beaten back to his childhood form by Qianjie because of an experiment. However, this time, it seemed that he became like this because of the Ruler of Constraint.

The lab coat on Mobius had become somewhat tattered and no longer fit him well. Judging from how hurried Mobius was, he must have rushed here as soon as possible.

"We... won, but..." Zhu Yufeng half stepped aside, "We still paid a heavy price this time... The Herrscher has been killed, and Seele is missing. When I arrived, only the Herrscher core and the Black Abyss White Flower were left. Roffko and Klein seemed to have been eroded by the Quantum Sea, and the Black Abyss White Flower had limited effect on them... But at least, for now, they are still alive."

"Klein..." Mebius sighed softly when she saw Klein's appearance. She looked around again and indeed did not find any trace of Seele. She immediately guessed the reason.

In order to fight against the Herrscher of Constraint, Rovko and the others borrowed the power of the Quantum Sea, just like what Zhu Yufeng said, Vita borrowed the power of the Quantum Sea to fight against erosion, but the channel they opened was not as big as Vita's, but the collision and annihilation effect of the power between the Quantum Sea and the Imaginary Number Tree still successfully killed the Herrscher.

Seele...I'm afraid he was at the center of the explosion at that time. As the carrier of the power of the Quantum Sea, he died together with the Ruler of Constraint.

"...Where's Michael?" Mebius asked again.

"When I came, I saw her and Desdobia. Desdobia was seriously injured, but Michael seemed to have created an anti-divine grace barrier for her at the end of his life, which temporarily saved her..." Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes.

"We were really tricked by the Herrscher this time... I didn't expect that there would be a third Herrscher of Constraints..."

"No, what we are facing there is Gabriel who has been strengthened and has the ability to create a divine grace barrier." Zhu Yufeng took another look at the tattered and ill-fitting lab coat on Mobius, reached out and used the power of the Ruler of Reason to make a piece of clothing and put it on Mobius.

Then he continued, "I will stay here for now, and my power will continue to work... I will go check on Astaroth."

"Is Lilim okay?" Mebius asked after taking a look at his clothes.

"She's fine." Zhu Yufeng said, "But, after staying in the Divine Grace Boundary for so long, I don't know Astaroth's condition. If she was just protecting Lilith, Grayshu and the others, Astaroth should be fine..."

Mobius fell silent. She remembered that she had asked Danzhu and Cangxuan to take some researchers to the villa urgently to receive Astralot's protection... If Astralot had any accident because of this...

"...You go first...I'll take care of this place for the time being." said Mebius.

Zhu Yufeng nodded. Although Mobius was a little weak now, Shesha's ability could help her recover quickly. At least compared to Klein and Rovko, Mobius was not seriously injured.

Just as Zhu Yufeng took a step forward, his heart suddenly began to ache violently. The severe pain made him subconsciously bend his body slightly, and his movements became stiff.

He was in the Divine Grace Barrier, forcing his way forward despite the direct targeting of the Ruler of Constraint. After arriving here, he consumed his own Honkai Energy to heal Roverko and Klein. His current physical condition was not very good.

At that time, in order to target him, the Ruler of Constraint used more than half of the power of the Divine Grace Barrier to target him. The remaining half of the power was needed to maintain the existence of the Divine Grace Barrier and to fight against Seele. This was one of the reasons why she did not notice the intentions of Rovko and others. Part of her attention was on Zhu Yufeng, and the other part was on Seele. She had no time to care about what Rovko and Klein were doing.

Mobius instantly noticed that Zhu Yufeng's aura suddenly became disordered at that moment. She turned to look at Zhu Yufeng, but Zhu Yufeng just paused for a moment, then used his power to speed up his time and left here.

"You..." Mobius clenched her hands. She knew that Zhu Yufeng was holding on again. In her previous life, she knew Zhu Yufeng from beginning to end. Now she realized at the first time that Zhu Yufeng was forcibly covering up his poor condition.

Zhu Yufeng was indeed aware of his own body. He knew that he would not continue to hold on if he could not hold on any longer, but as long as he could still move and would not die immediately, he would continue to train his body.

She wanted to chase Zhu Yufeng, but she was still very weak and stumbled all the way here. It was impossible for her to catch up with Zhu Yufeng, not to mention that there were two seriously injured people here...

"What has happened will happen again... If this is the tragedy of this restraint, then Yu Feng..." Mobius's fingernails were about to dig into his palms. They had done so much, but in the end... What has happened will happen again?

How can this... be acceptable?

the other side.

Alicia and the others finally arrived at the Fire Moth. Because they were in a hurry and had just come out of the Divine Grace Barrier not long ago, their Honkai energy was depleted. They immediately saw Hen leaning against the wall, and Kosmo stepped forward to check on Hen's condition.

Ying and Xila went directly into the Fire Moth base. Ying went straight to the family area, while Xila rushed to the place where there were still strong remnants of energy reactions.

"How is Hen's physical condition?" Kevin asked.

"His breathing is weak but even. He is seriously injured. It looks like Feng came here and treated him a little." Kosmo said, looking inside the base again.

"The Divine Grace Barrier has disappeared." Lilith said, "The Ruler of Constraint should have been destroyed, but..."

Lilith was silent for a moment, then went straight towards the family area.

Alicia was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed. She could see that Lilith was worried about something, but with Lilith's personality, she probably wouldn't worry about Lilith's adopted daughter. Rather, Lilith was always very pure in this regard. The only person Lilith cared about from beginning to end was Zhu Yufeng.

"What happened to Feng?" asked Alicia.

"His physical condition is not very good, and he is trying to show off again." Lilith said with a frown.

Alicia was silent for a moment before asking again: "How did you ..."

"Don't forget, Feng and I were bound together in consciousness during the last period of our previous life. When he completed his ascension plan and truly became a Herrscher, he might have had some connection with me, who is also an Origin like you. In short, I can sense his physical condition." Lilith said, "His current physical condition may be worse than when the Seventh Herrscher blew himself up in the face. It doesn't matter, but he is still trying to show off now."

Alicia: "...This is him..."

When they arrived at the family area, what caught Alicia and Lilith's eyes were people lying near the entrance of the villa. Among those people, Blanca's blue hair was easy to recognize.

"Blanca..." Alicia's pupils shrank.

"She's dead, just like the others lying there." Lilith didn't even bother to look at those people. "It seems that Astaroth really didn't just protect a few people this time."

Alicia and Lilith entered the villa and saw some researchers and many children. Eden was standing at the door and saw Alicia appear. He called out, "Alice..."

"Eden...what's going on here?" Alicia asked, and then looked at the other people here. Lilith went upstairs without asking any questions.

"Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu brought some researchers, and then... Desdobia brought people from the nearby family quarters." Eden sighed softly, "The Divine Grace Barrier was lifted for a while, but then reappeared and was stronger than before. Astaroth's physical condition became very bad. In order to keep the children alive, Blanca and the other parents..."

Eden didn't say anything else, but Alicia already knew the result.

After a moment of silence, she also went upstairs.

When she came to Zhu Yufeng and others, Astaroth was coughing, and some blood splashed out with every cough. Zhu Yufeng put one hand on Astaroth's shoulder, obviously using his power to rewind time for Astaroth.

Lilith and Ying, who arrived earlier, stood aside. Lilith frowned and said, "It's okay, Feng, your body..."

"It's nothing serious."

Zhu Yufeng interrupted her, and Lilith fell silent. Alicia, who was about to speak, swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She could see directly that Zhu Yufeng was not in a good state, but Zhu Yufeng now obviously would not listen to anyone.

After a while, Astaroth's coughing stopped and she was in much better condition than before. Zhu Yufeng stood up from a half-kneeling position. Suddenly, his expression changed. He bent down slightly and his hand unconsciously placed on his heart.

"maple!"

Ai Lixia's expression also changed, and she hurried forward to support Zhu Yufeng. Zhu Yufeng glanced at her and sighed softly.

Ying looked at Zhu Yufeng in silence, and silently retracted her hand that had just been stretched out in the air. This time, Alicia's movement speed was really faster than hers...

"Destobia she..." Alicia was stunned. Destobia must be partly responsible for Astaroth's current condition. Should she... tell Feng?

"I know...she was the one who brought the people from the family quarters here." Zhu Yufeng's tone was calm.

Lilith just crossed her arms and said, "Are you going to continue to show off? You just came out of the Divine Grace Boundary, and then you forced your way through the enhanced Divine Grace Boundary here, right?"

Zhu Yufeng looked at Lilith and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing and just walked out the door in silence. As the person who was supporting him, Alicia could clearly feel that he was in a very bad state.

Lilith and Alicia followed Zhu Yufeng and left. Ying stood there, looking at Astaroth who had recovered, and then looked at her sister who was looking at Astaroth nervously and asking her how she felt. She was silent for a long time. When Eden went up to the second floor from the entrance of the villa, Ying looked at Eden and said, "Eden...what do you think, how should I view Destobia?"

These words seemed to be addressed to Eden, but not to her.

Eden was silent. She couldn't answer this question.

"My wish has always been simple. I just want Feng and Ling to continue living... that's all." Ying's eyes became vague. "That's all... is it that difficult?"

Chapter 317: After the War (Part 2)

The girl woke up from a nightmare. She opened her eyes suddenly and subconsciously wanted to sit up in bed, but she found that her limbs were a little weak. It took her a lot of effort to sit up in bed.

She looked down at her chest and found that she was wearing the clothes of a patient. She touched the place where she was pierced by the chain gun of the Herrscher, but she did not feel any pain through the clothes, as if the wound caused by the chain gun had never existed.

but……

He was really weak now, the flow of Honkai energy was hindered, and breathing seemed a little laborious.

"I... survived? Why... Michael..." Desdobia bent down with her hands on her head. She still remembered that before she lost consciousness, Michael, whose Herrscher core had been taken out by Satejer, came in front of her and said something...

She didn't hear clearly what Michael said, but she only remembered that Michael said "thank you" to her.

Thank you...me?

Suddenly, the door of the ward opened, and Kosmo came in carrying a bowl of liquid food. Seeing that Desdobia had woken up, he hesitated for a moment and called out, "...You're awake, Desdobia..."

Desdobia raised her head and looked at Kosmo: "Amo... I..."

Kosmo walked to the bedside, put down the liquid food in his hand, and reached out to help Desdobia adjust the position of the pillow so that she could lean on it more comfortably.

Desdobia watched Kosmo do all this for her, then he opened the jar of liquid food and sat silently beside the bed, feeding himself the liquid food.

During this process, neither of them spoke.

When the liquid food in the jar was almost gone and Kosmo was packing up and getting ready to leave, Destobia said, "Amo...how is Michael...? How is Astaroth? How is everyone...?"

Kosmo's body froze, he turned his back to Desdobia and did not answer.

"Tell me! Amo! How... is everyone doing?!" Desdobia reached out to grab the corner of Kosmo's clothes, but almost fell off the bed because of her weak body.

Kosmo turned around and quickly supported Desdobia. Desdobia grabbed Kosmo's clothes and asked again: "Answer me, Amo... Michael... How are everyone in the Fire Moth Base..."

Kosmo remained silent. After a while, he stretched out his hand to pry open Desdobia's hand that was grabbing his clothes. He just said, "The injuries you suffered in the Divine Grace Barrier were too severe. Even if Feng treated you and repaired your body later, the damage caused by the Herrscher of Constraint to the super-mutation factor in your body cannot be restored in a short period of time... You... should just focus on taking care of your body first."

The boy's hands were as gentle as always, but this time they were firm and unquestionable.

But Desdobia did not give up. When Kosmo pried her hands apart, she grabbed them again. She must get the answer from Kosmo.

In the end, it was Kosmo who grabbed Desdobia's hand to stop her movements. Desdobia looked up at Kosmo, but Kosmo lowered his eyes and did not meet Desdobia's eyes. Instead, he continued to choose to remain silent, and the two of them remained in a stalemate.

Kosmo has never been good at dealing with girls. After the two of them were in a stalemate for a long time and Kosmo struggled internally for a long time, Kosmo finally spoke: "…Michael, Seele, and most of the members of the Fire Moth headquarters have been confirmed dead. There are only a few survivors. Many researchers, including Dr. Einstein, have also died in this incident. This time, we have suffered an unprecedented blow and loss."

After saying this, he looked at Desdobia with eyes filled with extremely complicated emotions. He saw something in the girl's eyes slowly disappearing, just like what happened to him after the Ninth Herrscher incident. It was also possible that it would be even more thorough...

Desdobia is a girl who is very easy to fall into a vortex of contradictions. This is one of the reasons why Kosmo does not want to tell Desdobia the result of this tragedy. She has a strong sense of responsibility, and precisely because of this sense of responsibility, she doesn't know what consequences will be caused by what she is going to say next.

乛But if I don't tell her, Desdobia's stubbornness will make her find the answer herself, even if her body is so weak that it can't be any weaker. If she asks Feng or Kevin... especially Feng...

"What about Astaroth? What about seniors Grayshu and Blanca? What about senior Hen?" Desdobia asked questions in rapid succession. After she finished speaking, she, who was so weak, began to breathe heavily.

Kosmo waited quietly for her breathing to calm down, and then tried to speak in a calm tone: "Astaroth is... not seriously injured for the time being, Grayshu is fine, and Hen... he was under the pressure of the Divine Grace barrier, and rushed out desperately to send us a message for help. Although Feng arrived in time and saved his life, but... he is now completely unable to be a warrior anymore."

"If Grayshu is okay...Senior Blanca must be okay too..." Desdobia looked into Kosmo's eyes, and then her heart gradually sank to the bottom.

Astaroth's protection has its limits. When Danzhu Cangxuan and others brought some researchers to the villa, she finally softened her heart when she saw other people in the family area who were struggling in the Divine Grace barrier, and brought them into the villa to accept Astaroth's protection.

Later, the Herrscher of Restraint, Satejer, took Michael's Herrscher core away, and the Divine Grace Barrier was greatly strengthened. As someone who confronted Satejer head-on, Desdobia herself did not dare to imagine what kind of pressure Astaroth would face at that time.

Kosmo closed his eyes. Rather than letting others tell Destobia the answer, he decided to tell her himself. So he said, "Astaroth couldn't protect everyone. She was also seriously injured at that time. In order to protect the children, Blanca... together with other parents, took the initiative to leave Astaroth's protection area..."

He could feel the girl's hand in his hand stiffen for a moment, and then gradually lose strength.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Desdobia. At this moment, the girl's eyes, which were always shining with light, were like a pool of stagnant water, without any light and vitality.

Destobia slowly withdrew her hand and said as if she was mumbling to herself: "So... I was the one who killed Senior Blanca... I... I also killed Michael... Astaroth was also severely injured because of me..."

Kosmo lowered his head, not knowing what to say next. When he first learned the result from Eden and Ying, Kosmo was completely confused. Before that, he only saw Zhu Yufeng being supported by Alicia, silently coming to the seriously injured and dying Desdobia, using his power to turn back time for her and repair the wounds on her body...

At that time, he saw Zhu Yufeng almost begging him to save Desdobia, but after learning what had happened, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of mentality Zhu Yufeng had when he tried to save Desdobia.

Zhu Yufeng was coughing up blood just by using his power to turn back time and repair Desdobia's injuries, which was enough to show that his condition was not much better at the time. After he struggled to pull Desdobia back from the brink of life and death, he looked at Michael, who was still kneeling in front of Desdobia and died in a praying posture.

He stretched out his hand and laid Michael flat on the ground, staring at the girl's pale and peaceful face, without speaking for a long time.

From then until now, Zhu Yufeng has locked himself in the room for a long time and has not come out.

Neither Alicia nor Lilith chose to disturb him.

Hen probably just woke up now. Kevin went to see Hen. Kosmo didn't know how to face Hen and Grayxiu next. Until now, he didn't dare to meet these two people.

Did Destobia do something wrong? From Destobia's perspective, she had not experienced the tragedy of the Constraint in her previous life, and she did not know that the Herrscher of Constraint was a defective product before the merger of the Herrscher Core. With just that level of Divine Grace, even if the other people in the family area were added, it was still within the range that Astaroth could protect...

For Desdobia, she could not imagine how terrifying the real divine grace barrier was. If it were her, if she had not experienced the tragedy of restraint, she would make the same choice in this situation.

If Astaroth hadn't held on, Lilith, Grayshuse, and Ling, who were protected by Astaroth at the time, would have been in trouble. If this really happened, Kosmo couldn't think of how he would face the others.

"Why..." the girl whispered, "Why... am I the one who survived? I can't do anything, can't help Michael, and even caused trouble for Senior Blanca... How can I be qualified... to survive?"

"Destobia..."

The girl looked up at the boy, tears glistening in her eyes. She asked as if she was asking her lover: "Why... am I the one who survived?!"

Kosmo was silent. He just reached out and hugged Desdobia, resting her head on his chest, and said softly, "It's okay, Desdobia... Don't think about these things for now, and have a good sleep, okay?"

I will bear everything with you.

The girl leaned on the boy's chest, whimpering softly at first, and then gradually turning into loud crying. The boy just hugged the girl tightly without saying a word.

Outside the ward door.

Kevin and Su, who had arrived at some point, were standing not far from the door. Kevin was leaning against the wall, while Su looked like he had just arrived.

"Quantum Sea...have you found any trace of her?" Kevin asked.

"No... The Quantum Sea is already extremely vast, and the explosion was too violent. Even Roverko, the proposer of this plan, only said that she would most likely fall into the Quantum Sea... At this stage, the Fire Moth has lost a large number of researchers, and we don't have much energy to focus on this aspect..."

Kevin lowered his head and suddenly asked again: "Su, do you think we can really save Feng and Alicia this time?"
