"After all, he is the number one king of the Fire Moths... Even Chief Lionel can't find fault with him. Wait, I remember Feng seemed to have just received a mission to kill an emperor-level Honkai beast not long ago? Is he back so soon?"
"For fusion warriors of Feng and Kevin's level, the Herrschers can kill them easily, just an emperor-level Honkai beast..."
"Don't forget that we can't even deal with a 'mere' Emperor-level Honkai beast."
Zhu Yufeng walked back to the villa carrying the bag. He had indeed just returned from the mission to defeat the emperor-level Honkai beasts. Now the frequency of global Honkai is getting higher and higher. General Honkai can be dealt with by the Titan troops in the city and the barely re-established armed puppet troops. If the number of Honkai beasts is too large and a large number of Honkai emperors are born, the fusion warriors stationed in the city will be responsible for fighting back.
In the past, Emperor-level Honkai Beasts would only appear before or after the Great Collapse, and Judgment-level Honkai Beasts would only appear when the Herrscher was born. But now, Emperor-level Honkai Beasts appear every now and then. Zhu Yufeng couldn't even remember how many Ganissas he had killed, and Judgment-level Honkai Beasts had appeared twice recently.
However, there shouldn't be any more end-level Houkai beasts being born...
The situation was actually similar at this time in the previous life. Emperor-level Honkai beasts were entrenched in many places. However, as there were only three human settlements left, the emperor-level Honkai beasts basically only wandered in uninhabited areas.
There are only five Dharma-Ending-level Honkai Beasts in the records of Fire Moth, namely, Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, Gabriel and Yuga. Among them, Yuga is the only Honkai Beast that is still flying around and humans can only watch it helplessly. It is also the strongest Dharma-Ending-level Honkai Beast.
The weakest is Vishnu, which had only reached the Emperor level when it was killed. However, subsequent research on Vishnu found that this Honkai beast had an almost unlimited growth ability, so it was listed as the Dharma Ending Level.
As for Gabriel, in his previous life, Gabriel was identified as a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, and the weakest one among the Judgment-level Honkai Beasts. He was classified as a Judgment-level beast only because he was immune to the effects of the Divine Grace Barrier and his own Honkai energy level was high enough. This time, his Honkai energy level has reached the threshold of the End of Law level, and he can release the Divine Grace Barrier, so he was classified as an End of Law level beast.
There is no doubt that Gabriel has been strengthened compared to his previous life.
In order to suppress the development of Honkai beasts in other uninhabited areas and prevent them from forming a beast tide to attack nearby human cities, Zhu Yufeng let Yuga make a big fuss in the uninhabited areas and kill the stronger Honkai beasts wandering in the uninhabited areas. It seems that Yuga's absorption of Honkai energy has not reached its limit yet, and it can continue to become stronger.
To what level will the Dharma-Ending Level evolve further?
In short, although Yuga has never actively caused harm to humans, because it is a Honkai beast and is constantly absorbing Honkai energy to become stronger, Mei has proposed more than once in the meeting to formulate a plan to kill Yuga to prevent it from growing too big to be suppressed. The new members of the parliament also have similar ideas.
The parliament of the Fire Moth has been rebuilt, but the current parliament does not actually have that much power. Lionel is determined not to let anyone in the parliament touch the military power.
Although the newly appointed guys have their own ulterior motives, as Zhu Yufeng said in a book he had read, mediocre people also have their uses, and it is just right for them to handle some of the paperwork running through the Fire Moth. Anyway, they cannot command the Fire Moth's soldiers, and with the surveillance of the Gray Snake network, they cannot cause any big trouble.
Hen... It was only now after the tragedy of the restraint that he finally came out of the shadow of his wife's sacrifice, at least that's what it seemed like. I remember that in the early years, it was rumored that Hen was a playboy when he was young, but once he met Blanca, he settled down and became a wife slave.
It is also because of this that it is understandable that Hen has been trying his best to avoid meeting Desdobia.
As for Desdobia, after a period of recuperation, she is finally much better than before and no longer exhibits self-harming behavior. She came out of the ward and moved back to the villa. She still doesn't want to see people and basically locks herself in the room. Fortunately, Kosmo is currently living with her.
Although Kosmo sleeps on the floor... why should we be afraid of sleeping together...
I remember when I complained about Kosmo, Kosmo looked at me with a very speechless look, as if saying: "Why don't you take a look at what happened to you before?"
Can this, can this be the same?
Zhu Yufeng returned to the villa. The books in the bag he was holding were actually... books about how to be a good father and how to take care of a wife during pregnancy.
He had told Mebius a long time ago that he preferred children born through natural reproduction to those born through artificial reproduction. Even though children born through natural reproduction might have some defects and be less perfect than those born through artificial reproduction, what was important was the process, the process of accompanying the one you loved.
In a sense, Zhu Yufeng is actually the same type of person as Kevin. They both love their children, but not much, and the majority of the love goes to the mother of the child.
"You're back, Feng? I was just telling Lilith that you should be on your way back now."
Alicia greeted Zhu Yufeng with a smile. Her belly was already bulging, indicating that a new life was being born. In order to cover this up, Lilith also followed Alicia and began to stay at home, reducing other people's suspicion.
"After all, he has promised you that no matter what the situation is or what the mission is, he will come back on time every day." Lilith shrugged and said, "Besides, for Feng, a mere emperor-level Honkai beast can be solved in a moment."
"Hmm? Feng, what's in the bag you are carrying?" Alicia noticed the bag in Zhu Yufeng's hand.
"Uh... some books for study." Zhu Yufeng said. Even with Lilith, he was not very clear about how to be a good father. He could only try his best to take care of Lilith like he had taken care of Grayshu and Astaroth before. Lilith's growth rate was much faster than that of ordinary children. But now a new life was being born, and he had some idea that he should at least act like a father.
In addition to the books, the bag also contained local "specialties" that he brought back when he passed through the city where the mission was located - dolls with images of himself and Alicia.
"Is there a doll so soon?" Alicia picked up the doll with her own image with some surprise, "I remember that everyone seemed to have rarely shown their faces, right? This doll... although it is also very cute, it is still not as good-looking as me, right? And this dress... is also very cute, I want to wear the same thing?"
"You didn't order it, did you?" Lilith glanced at Zhu Yufeng and said, "Although the Fire Chasing Heroes are now recognized as a group by the Fire Chasing Moth, and the public also knows that such an organization exists, the images of the heroes in it should not be accessible to ordinary people, right?"
"I was also surprised. Rather than saying this is a doll of Zhuhuo Yingjie, it's better to say that this is a doll of a savior hero designed by a girl based on her initial impression." Zhu Yufeng said as he looked at Alicia and his doll. "I didn't expect that she would recognize me when I was just passing by."
"Eh?" Alicia, who was looking at Zhu Yufeng's doll, tilted her head, "Is it someone we have seen before?"
She looked at the two dolls in her hands again. Her doll smiled as warmly as the spring breeze, while the doll based on someone else looked "cool". How should I put it? It really looked like someone who usually had a blank expression and didn't want to talk to strangers...
"Yes, I have seen her before." Zhu Yufeng's expression became a little strange. "At first, when she recognized me, I didn't have any impression of her. Later, she reminded me... It happened to be the first time I met Xila after my rebirth, so I have some impression of her. It's not that I couldn't remember when I had seen her for a long time."
"The first time I met Xila?" Alicia thought for a while, "It was the girl I lent her an umbrella to at that time, right? I remember her name was..."
"Valentina." Zhu Yufeng said, "I talked to her for a while and found out that she left the city not long after we finished our mission. Although she encountered many difficulties and often cried secretly at night, she finally gritted her teeth and persevered, and took root in the city I passed through during this mission."
"If I remember correctly, that should have happened before the Fourth Herrscher incident, right?" Lilith said. "It's been at least seven or eight years now, and she only met a few times, but she still remembers it so clearly. Her level of recall is quite high."
"Heh... for her, the appearance of Alicia and I was undoubtedly the warmth she felt from this world during the darkest time in her life." Zhu Yufeng said, "She has been remembering it for a long time..."
"Then someone forgets about him the next day after the mission is over, right?" Lilith looked at Zhu Yufeng jokingly and said, "Don't you know Zhu Yufeng?" This guy doesn't spend much time on irrelevant people, especially strangers who have only met once.
"I still have some impression of it..." Zhu Yufeng tried to save his face.
"Come on, Lilith and I have the same opinion on this matter, right?" Alicia said with a smile, and then she looked at the two dolls in her hands, "But, to be honest, I don't have too many memories of that incident. After all, for me, I just did what I would do."
"But for her, it is something she will remember for the rest of her life." Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes and said, "She remembered our appearance and our names. Although we have never met again after that, in her heart, we are her saviors... saviors... hehe..."
Is he really a savior hero? Can he really...save the world?
Zhu Yufeng looked at Alicia, then at the two dolls in Alicia's hands. He suddenly felt that it was okay to live like this. He... might be such a greedy yet easily satisfied person.
He can see the person he cares about every day, waiting for the birth of a new life. When he has free time, he will also think about what kind of birth gift he should prepare for his child and imagine the life of the child when he grows up...
But...can he really see it...
Chapter 324: Herrscher of Erosion
The Fire Moth Council Chamber.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was extremely serious and depressing. Almost all the top figures in the entire Fire Moth were present. They gathered here today, and everyone had a different expression, some were extremely serious, while others were full of playfulness. The reason was... the Twelfth Herrscher had appeared.
It is not accurate to say that the twelfth Herrscher has appeared, because this Herrscher has not shown any tendency to become a Herrscher so far. He has only been detected to be a Herrscher body, which means he will become a Herrscher.
The Herrscher's body of the Twelfth Herrscher did not change this time and was still Ling, but fate seemed to have once again forced the result to follow the original path.
Originally, after the incident with the Eleventh Herrscher, Mobius had told Sakura to always bring Ling to her laboratory for examination.
Although before the rebirth, Sakura and Mobius' relationship was not very pleasant, and even a little hostile, after all, Mobius had always wanted to use Ling to conduct Herrscher experiments, which was obviously unacceptable to Sakura as an elder sister, but after the rebirth, their relationship has improved somewhat.
Moreover, Sakura also knew that the best way to protect Ling was to take her to Mobius' laboratory for regular checkups. Only in this way could the news of Ling becoming the Herrscher be blocked in time before it leaked out, thus avoiding a repeat of the mistakes of the previous life.
What's more, the Tenth and Eleventh Herrschers both appeared earlier than before, and it was inevitable that the Twelfth Herrscher would be detected earlier than in the previous life, but the development of things this time was beyond everyone's expectations.
Even though Sakura brought Ling to Mobius's laboratory for check-ups every day, and Ling also carried a device made by Velvet to monitor her physical condition in real time, Ling had not changed at all for a long time after the incident of the 11th Herrscher. This made Mobius and the others a little confused. In addition, there was a precedent in which the change of the 11th Herrscher caught everyone off guard, so they had to consider whether there had been a change in the candidate.
Zhu Yufeng proposed that the Herrscher of Erosion of the next civilization would be born in the form of a virus without any Herrscher body, but the Fire Moth and World Serpent had suffered heavy losses in researchers, and it was already difficult to maintain the normal operation of various research projects within the organization. It was really difficult to assign people to conduct all-round monitoring of the network.
Just when everyone was puzzled, there was no sign. That day should have been a normal day for everyone, but on that day, the signal of the Herrscher reaction appeared glaringly on the scanner screen. Zhu Yufeng, Alicia, and Lilith, who were real Herrschers, were not detected at all. Although Lilith was an artificial Herrscher, her own Herrscher signal was different from the Herrscher signals of other naturally born Herrschers. Mei, who knew the truth, had long included Lilith's Herrscher signal in the safe range so that it would not be detected.
Then, a brand new Herrscher signal appeared on the screen of the Fire Moth's Honkai Observation Center.
Mobius's daily checks on Ling over the past few days did not reveal any abnormalities, and there was no movement in Vilvi's real-time detection device. It was as if everything had changed in an instant, and Ling had become the Herrscher body again without any warning.
Although the news was blocked in time and more information was not leaked to more people, the matter could not be covered up casually. The number of people present at the time was not small, and the moment the Herrscher signal was detected, the alarm as a safety mechanism also resounded throughout the entire Fire Moth.
After confirming that the Herrscher's body was Ling, the Fire Moth held an emergency high-level meeting to discuss how to deal with Ling.
"The Herrscher must be dealt with seriously immediately. Even if she is a relative of the Fire Chaser, there should be no favoritism!" said a newly elected councillor. "Even if she has not yet completely become a Herrscher, as long as she is still alive, she is a time bomb!"
"Yes, I agree with Councillor Lesveld. Up to now, mankind has lost too much because of the Herrschers, and the day of the final Herrscher's arrival is getting closer and closer. We cannot leave a time bomb behind that will hinder our decisive battle with the last Herrscher." said another councillor.
"I know this news may be difficult for Miss Ying to accept, but we have no choice." Another congressman sighed and said, "So far, we have witnessed the contributions that the heroes have made to mankind, but now mankind has reached a critical moment of survival, and we cannot afford to be careless..."
"The Ninth Herrscher sank the Mu Continent, the Tenth Herrscher nearly destroyed the Fire Moth's headquarters, and the Eleventh Herrscher caused the Fire Moth to suffer unprecedented heavy losses, and it has not yet fully recovered. Now, what do we have to lose? We don't know what kind of Herrscher the Twelfth Herrscher is, but humans can no longer afford to gamble."
Zhu Yufeng sat silently in the chair, quietly listening to the various suggestions made by the congressmen on how to deal with Ling. Although the people who made the suggestions were different from those in the previous life, what they said was still the same old stuff.
Standing on the moral high ground, they advocated the imprisonment or execution of Ling with the argument that "this is all for the good of mankind". In the previous life, because there were only three human settlements left, everyone's nerves were extremely tense, and they were like frightened birds at the news of the Herrscher. So when they said this at the time, Mei, as the leader, had no way to veto their opinions, and in the end he could only fight for the imprisonment of Ling.
Perhaps there are some members of the parliament who are truly thinking wholeheartedly about humanity, but more of them may just want to seize power from Mei. The Fourteen Fire-Chasing Heroes, proposed by Alicia and established through "friendly" exchanges with Zhu Yufeng, directly obey Mei, not the parliament. This approach strengthens Mei's control over the Fire-Chasing Moths and weakens the parliament's voice.
The pressure of public opinion forced Mei to bow to the parliament and make concessions. They didn't care what kind of child Ling was. All they saw was that she was Ying's sister. Executing or controlling Ling would itself be a blow to Mei's power and pressure on the Fourteen Heroes of Zhuhuo.
In the previous life, humans fought among themselves until they died... If Zhu Yufeng had not been too lazy to care about these things at that time and humanity had almost disappeared, otherwise, looking at it from Zhu Yufeng's current perspective, it would really make people's blood pressure soar.
This time, I'm afraid the purpose is still similar. They are indeed considering humanity, but they definitely also have the purpose of suppressing the Fire-Chasing Yingjie. Now that the Fire-Chasing Yingjie has been established, the parliament has no right to interfere with the decisions of the Yingjies, and their power has been greatly reduced. Those who waited until the original parliamentarians died before climbing up, only to find that they only have so little power in their hands, will definitely not give up. They will try their best to take back the power that "originally should have belonged to them" from the Fire-Chasing Yingjie.
Ling... Whether in the previous life or this life, she is just a victim of the infighting among the fire moths.
This time, they were caught off guard again. However, if the parliamentarians think that this will make the heroes give in, they are too naive. The purpose and rhetoric are the same, but the environment is no longer as depressing and desperate as before.
"Before I entered the parliament, I heard a lot about Feng's deeds. When the Seventh Herrscher incident happened, you were the one who insisted on rejecting the Seventh Herrscher's request for negotiation and wanted to kill him as soon as possible. However, the parliament at that time rejected your reasonable suggestion, which eventually led to two-thirds of Australia being engulfed in fire and has not yet fully recovered. It even almost endangered your life. Now that the Twelfth Herrscher has appeared, I believe you still have the same idea, right?" A congressman who looked somewhat young said, "The Herrscher has always been our enemy. We cannot be soft-hearted to an enemy who wants to kill us."
Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes. Here it comes. The much-anticipated moral kidnapping has come again. The Seventh Herrscher had morally kidnapped him to believe in the possibility of the Herrscher, and now he was morally kidnapping him again, saying that the Herrscher could not be trusted. Every time, he used a reasonable reason to put pressure on himself from the commanding heights of public opinion.
After that congressman spoke, other congressmen also spoke up, trying to build public pressure on Zhu Yufeng, the current leader of Zhuhuo Yingjie. Their entry point was indeed quite good. If it was the situation in the previous life, Zhu Yufeng might not have been able to refute it. If everyone's opinions were forcibly suppressed, it would only bring worse consequences.
Once Zhu Yufeng gives in, Ying, who loves her sister, will definitely turn against him. In this way, Zhuhuo Yingjie will not be a united group. They can divide Yingjie step by step and then "take back" the power that belongs to them.
Zhu Yufeng could only say that they had a good idea.
He remembered what Michael had told him before he died, that if the tragedy of constraint had not happened, then more serious consequences might have occurred when the Ruler of Corrosion had occurred. He asked Michael what would happen if the tragedy of constraint had happened, and Michael replied that she would do her best to make all the results lead to what he expected.
And now, Michael...has indeed succeeded.
Zhu Yufeng thought about this and said, "If it were me in the past, I would definitely agree with your ideas. There would be no need to hold a meeting here. I would do it myself. However, the tragedy of the constraint told me that the Herrscher still has the possibility."
"If the Herrscher still existed, how could the tragedy of restraint happen?!" Someone retorted almost subconsciously.
Zhu Yufeng chuckled, and then said, "If there is no possibility, then we will pay a greater price to resolve the tragedy of constraint. The Rulers of Constraint have found out that there are two, one is Satjie'er and the other is Michael. Satjie'er attacked the base of the Fire Moth and created the tragedy of constraint, but Michael chose to fight for humanity, resisted Satjie'er who had a stronger power, and bought time for Roffko and others at the time, and finally helped them defeat Satjie'er."
"This..." The congressman choked, "But we can't guarantee that Ling is not an enemy of humans!"
"Then how can you guarantee that Ling is definitely an enemy of mankind?" Zhu Yufeng asked back, "If Michael hadn't stood up at the critical moment and fought for mankind, do you know how terrifying the perfect Herrscher of Constraints is? If she hadn't stopped Satejer, all the people who stayed behind in the Fire Moth would have died inside and wouldn't have been able to wait for us to come back. Just based on this point, how can you assume that the Herrscher is definitely an enemy of mankind?"
"Feng, you are just making sophistry. You can't choose to favor Ling's sister Sakura just because she has always been your comrade-in-arms." The councillor was still trying to argue, "The Herrscher of Constraint... that was also an accident! There just happened to be two Herrschers of Constraint! But now there is only one Twelfth Herrscher!"
Zhu Yufeng looked at Mei, who pushed up her glasses and said, "Dr. Mobius examined Ling immediately, and the final result was that Ling had indeed become the Herrscher's body of the twelfth Herrscher, but no trace of the Herrscher's core was found. Although she had a Herrscher signal, it was incomplete. I have read Dr. Mobius' report and it is confirmed."
"In other words, there is another Ruler of Corrosion?" Hen asked.
"From the current perspective, this is the case." Mei said, "But it is not ruled out that it is because she has human nature that the Herrscher signal is incomplete and the Herrscher core disappears."
"This……"
The young councillor was speechless, but an older councillor took over and continued, "However, in the great tragedy caused by the Herrscher of Constraint last time, countless soldiers' families died. The soldiers' emotions are also something we should consider, right? I believe Sir Lionel should understand what I mean, right?"
Changing the target, Zhu Yufeng is obviously prepared to protect Ling, and all the reasons they prepared were hit back by Zhu Yufeng, so they can only change the direction of pressure. As Lionel is currently the highest decision-maker in the military of the Fire Moth, as long as he speaks, the parliament cannot lose. What's more, in terms of position, Lionel should be on the same side as the parliament.
"The soldiers' emotions?" Lionel, who had been silent, raised his eyes. "Okay, then please go outside and take a look, visit them, and directly ask the soldiers what they think?"
"This... There are many warriors in the Fire Moth. It would be a waste of time to ask them one by one."
"Really? In other words, in order to understand the soldiers' thoughts as quickly as possible, we should start with their performance and words and deeds?" Lionel asked again.
"That... is of course."
"Okay." Lionel displayed an image in the center of the conference hall. "This is the tombstone that the warriors spontaneously built for Michael after the tragedy of Constraint. Even today, warriors sometimes go to pay their respects and commemorate her. Even though Michael has been confirmed to be the Herrscher of Constraint, the warriors still remember her. If the warriors were really hostile to the Herrscher, would Michael still be in this situation now?"
The congressmen fell silent. They put pressure on Zhu Yufeng, but Zhu Yufeng didn't buy it. They also put pressure on Lionel, but Lionel didn't stand on their side. And judging from the images shown by Lionel, the soldiers would not create any public pressure either.
It seems that there will be no more surprises now. The parliament has already lost. Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyelids. Michael really did it, leading everything to another result.
Then, the only thing left for him is the final battle.
I said before that I would finish the previous civilization in July, but I didn't finish it. I still didn't finish the previous civilization in August. Emmm
I won't set the flag this time. Anyway, the erosion has already occurred, and everyone knows how long it will take to the final battle. It's not that I won't set the flag, but it's better to have some knowledge of myself.
Then, lie down and bend over.jpg
Chapter 325: Human Heart is Hard to Predict
"Hey, have you heard about the latest Herrscher that appeared in the Fire Moth?"
"Hmm? Didn't everyone know about this? At that time, all the Fire Chasers heard the alarm, and the Heroes were dispatched immediately. Didn't they say that the Herrscher is still a Herrscher body for the time being, and the Herrscher Core has not appeared? Because of this, the Parliament and the Heroes decided not to take any action, but only restricted her activities."
"Hey, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm telling you, there's something fishy going on here that allowed this Herrscher to survive."
"What's the shady deal?"
"Hey, did you see Feng show mercy to the Herrscher that time? This time, the first person who spoke up to save the Herrscher was Feng!"
"……what do you want to say?"
