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

Chapter 332 Before the Decisive Battle (Part 2)

Moon, the lunar base of the Fire Moth.

Pado sat on the bridge of a lunar base, looking at the lunar valley in the distance in a daze.

"Hey, little Padu is being lazy here today." Mostima came over to greet him and said, "But looking at you, it seems like you have something on your mind?"

Padu glanced at Mostima, smiled and said, "Sister Mostima, please stop teasing me. How can I not be nervous about such a big event as the Final War..."

"I still don't understand why it's you." Mostima sat down next to Padu and said, "That mission is not easy to complete. It sounds like you're going to die. This is different from your life principles. Moreover, even if we talk about people who can carry out this mission, there are other suitable people, right?"

"No, Sister Mostima, I am the most suitable candidate." Paduo said with her eyes lowered.

In this battle of the end, if Alicia and Lilith want to enter the space where the cocoon of the end is located, the first step is to open the "door". Only by opening the "door" can they have a chance to enter and locate the position of the cocoon of the end. Then, if this battle of the end fails, humans must also prepare a backup plan. Therefore, Pado's mission is the same as in the previous life. With the help of the instruments developed by Mei and others, he will open the "door" for Alicia and Lilith when the end is born, and send the artificial intelligence "Prometheus" in.

This mission sounds extremely dangerous.

At least in Mostima's opinion, not to mention that once the "door" is opened, the large number of Honkai energy-fused warriors that emerge from it will be difficult to resist, the End will definitely discover the action here at the first time. Even if the Honkai energy does not kill the person who opens the "door" at that moment, the End will still take action.

This is a mission with no chance of survival.

But Paduo... took on the task without hesitation.

Since she regained her memory, in Mostima's eyes, although Paddo has changed a lot from the Paddo she knew before, she is still essentially the Paddophillis who likes to take a break from fishing from time to time. Such an extremely dangerous mission is really not a choice that Paddo would make.

"I haven't told you yet, Sister Mostima?" Padu said, looking into the distance, "In my previous life, I was also the one who took on this mission, to open the 'door' and send Prometheus in..."

Mostima was silent for a while, she also looked into the distance and said softly: "Really... It was you at that time... Padu, tell me, do you have some connection with the 'door'? When you were a child, you were a thief who pried open people's doors. When you grew up, you came here to open the 'door' of the Cocoon of the End. No one else can do that..."

"After all, apart from being a bit luckier, there's nothing else worth mentioning." Padu stared into the distance, and someone's figure seemed to be reflected in her two heterochromatic eyes. "Besides, I won't die..."

"Are you so confident?" Mostima tilted her head. She could see that Paddo was just trying to make her tone as relaxed as possible, but Paddo had a habit. When she was really relaxed, she would refer to herself as "we", but in important occasions, she would unconsciously change it to "I".

She glanced at Padu's tail again. Although cats and cats' tails are two different creatures, the tail generally reflects the owner's mood... Well, although it is a little low, it is not too low...

"My luck ran out when I opened the door," Padu said, "but there's nothing to be afraid of, because isn't Brother Yufeng right there?"

"Boss Yufeng..." Mostima's eyes flickered, "Indeed..."

Padu held her chin with both hands, recalling what happened in her previous life. Yes, in her previous life, she knew very well that she was just a little bit away from death. The tip of the knife was probably only a few microns away from her heart. In that situation where she was sure to die, he still showed up and blocked the fatal blow for her. Although the price he paid was also extremely tragic, even though he used his power to repair his body afterwards, he still took the pain caused by that blow...

If possible, she didn't want Brother Yufeng to go through this again, but after the combat meeting, Brother Yufeng just said to her: "Don't worry, I will still save you this time."

It would be nice if there were things in this world that wouldn't happen if she didn't want them to happen... But this if didn't exist. She knew that Brother Yu Feng was that kind of person. Asking him not to do something was the same as not saying anything. He might listen, but whether he would do it was another matter.

This is Brother Yufeng...

Why bother saying "rest assured"? Having Brother Yufeng here is the greatest peace of mind.

Paduo recalled that in her previous life, before she participated in the Final Battle, her legs were shaking so much that she could not stand steadily. This was her body, her instinct, sending her a strong warning, telling her that she would die if she went. How could she not know that? But... she was one of the Fire Chasers certified by Sister Ellie, and there were some things she had to do.

She missed the tragedy of restraint and became a deserter because of a ridiculous cold, but she didn't intend to escape from the final battle again, even if her body warned her again and again.

Brother Yufeng said that he was an alien and knew everyone's ending before he came. It was no surprise that he died in the End War. There was no need to think too much about this kind of thing. If it weren't for Brother Yufeng, no one could save him. At that time, he was temporarily unable to move because he had taken on a large amount of Honkai energy radiation. He could only watch the fatal blow that the End War casually swung at him. Even Boss Kevin could hardly save him at that moment. Even if he was saved, it would be a severe consumption for Boss Kevin, which would be extremely disadvantageous for the upcoming End War.

What's more, her mission was to die, and Sister Mei never considered what to do if she survived.

"But, I survived..." Padu thought to herself.

Just like Brother Yufeng said, he never cared about the future of mankind. He just wanted to save everyone he cherished, nothing more. So even if saving her was an unwise choice, he would do it without hesitation.

However, in daily life, I can never beat Sister Ellie and Sister Lilith, so I just use my own strengths, lie down and play badly. As long as I am strong enough, opportunities will always come. Anyway, I have basically never been defeated by Sister Lilith. Now the ones who are defeated in daily life are Sister Snake and Sister Wilwei.

Mostima looked at Paddo and smiled gently. Although she was a little nervous, Paddo was still full of confidence in the next mission. It was not the confidence in the success of the mission, but the complete trust in someone. She entrusted her life completely to Lucifer, who was responsible for confronting the end.

"Yes, Boss Yufeng, you continued the story of the fallen angels, and also connected the future of the heroes... Therefore, you must also see the dawn of hope illuminate this land..."

Mostima thought so in her heart, and she remembered what Admiller had told her not long ago. That thing was discovered by Admiller by accident, and he made another backup plan based on it. He did not tell Mostima in detail what it was, but only told her that this was an insurance plan that could allow Zhu Yufeng to survive.

Mostima didn't know what Admire's purpose was, but she knew that Admire never fought an unprepared battle, just as he had said to the other fallen angels in the tragedy of restraint in his previous life, which ultimately led to Lucifer's ascension to godhood.

Therefore, Mostima chose to believe in Admire's arrangement, even though she would curse Admire countless times in the future because of Admire's arrangement.

Apart from himself, the other fallen angels should have received some tasks from Admiral. The biggest difference between the fallen angels and Yingjie is that the fallen angels don’t care what the world will become in the end. They just act according to their own inner thoughts.

Admiller is a guy who tends to get stuck in a rut, and he has no problem sacrificing himself to achieve his goals. He was the first fallen angel to die in the tragedy of Binding. After realizing that he could not hold on any longer, he decisively chose to pass the remaining Honkai energy to Beffinger to help Beffinger continue to locate Michael's position.

Speaking of the memories of the previous life, I don’t know whether the other fallen angels except myself and Lilith have recovered their memories. It doesn’t matter about Xila, and it’s hard to say about the two scientific research monsters, Rofko and Admiller. Esmodesmo and Beelzebub should not matter either. Beffinger is a person who is hard to understand, and Baal... this silly kid can tell at a glance that he knows nothing.

Abaddon and Naheima, the two enemies, don't seem to have recovered either. It's hard to say about Astaroth. Her blank expression is really hard to understand. And the biggest characteristic of Astaroth is that she knows a lot of things but doesn't say them.

Moreover, unlike Yingjie and the others, in addition to the memories of his previous life, he also had memories in which Boss Yu Feng never appeared. The world in which Boss Yu Feng did not appear... Anyway, it was quite boring to him. He didn't even know if he was still alive at that time.

"So... since Boss Yufeng is ready to sacrifice himself, don't blame us for secretly doing something, just like we did in the last life..."

Earth, Fire Moth Headquarters, Lionel's office.

"The final battle... is coming..." Lionel said, with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moon outside the window, "Feng and his companions who are responsible for the frontal combat have already landed on the moon one after another. It is finally time to put a final period on all this. Whether this journey of chasing fire will come to an end, or whether it is just the end of our story, depends on this battle."

Beffinger crossed his legs and flipped through the book in his hand and said, "Yes, but it's better not to be too optimistic. The key to the Tianting is in your hands, right, Leon?"

Lionel looked at Beffinger and didn't say anything. Did Feng tell Beffinger, or was it just Beffinger's speculation?

"Feng will definitely do this. After all, sometimes there are some choices that even Kevin can't make. After thinking about it, you are the only suitable candidate, right?" Beffinger said in a flat tone.

"...I think I may understand why you betrayed me without saying a word. Maybe Feng, as a leader... does have his charm." Lionel said with his eyes lowered.

"No, you don't understand." Beffinger shook his head and said, "I hadn't even had any formal contact with Feng at that time. Do you believe that I would be willing to decisively defect for someone I had never met?"

“This is indeed a bit exaggerated…”

“But it’s kind of true.”

Lionel: “…”

Are you kidding me?!

Beffinger raised his head, his eyes became a little vague, and he said: "Leon, do you believe in past lives?"

"Past life?" Lionel frowned. "Hasn't this been disproven by science? Do you still believe in it?"

Love at first sight is more reliable than memories of past lives, right? Wait, Beffinger fell in love with Feng at first sight? Isn't this a development that is also against the will of heaven, comparable to memories of past lives?

"Heh..." Beffinger just smiled softly, "Just treat it as nonsense."

A jester in the palace... Being a jester is not easy. You don't get any good things, but you take the blame for bad things. I chose to enter the palace because my old friend was too honest. Even if he had real skills, considering the internal fighting in Mu Continent, he would be nothing but a pearl in the dust...

Do you really think he would choose to take the blame for the king's little interest? Isn't it nice to add fuel to the fire? Isn't it fun to be a lawyer?

He was originally a lonely man with nothing to worry about. Why did the king think that he would choose to become a jester for those little benefits? Money, power, beauty, for Beffinger, that's it, he doesn't care about these things, he just wants to add fuel to the fire and be a joker.

It's just because his best friend is too upright and has almost no political sensitivity, so he always needs someone to help him in the court. Lionel is a talented general, but when the general is away, he always needs a civil official to help him inside. The saying "a man of integrity has nothing to fear" is just a lie in the court struggle. Anyone who believes it is a fool.

Isn't there something called Twelve Gold Medals in the history of China?

"But at least this time, you are really doing what you want to do without any constraints." Beffinger glanced at Lionel and thought, "The core key of the Tianting... Feng, since you have done what you want to do, then we should do something we want to do too. You have no reason to blame us, right?"

Fire Moth Research Institute.

Admiral and Rovko looked at the data on the instrument in silence. Rovko asked, "What is the probability of success?"

Admiral crossed his arms and said, "There is still some data missing. We can only make further calculations when the battle officially begins. However, I may have to ask you for help at that time."

"…What are you doing this for? You are not the kind of person who would act on emotion."

"Really? Then I'll let my emotions get the better of me. Besides, to surpass the so-called God, to rebel against Him, and to trample Him under my feet, was my original wish."

Chapter 333 Before the Decisive Battle (Part 3)

Fire Chaser Training Ground.

With a loud "bang", a figure flew out from the flames of the explosion, slid on the ground for dozens of meters, and then hit the wall hard. The huge noise made the entire training ground shake.

"You are still the same as in your previous life, Qianjie..." Kosmo stood up. Although he was knocked so far away by Qianjie's attack, it actually did not affect him that much. At least for now, he was indeed inferior to Qianjie in strength. There would be no benefit in confronting Qianjie head-on.

"Hmph!" Qianjie, who was standing opposite him, maintained the posture of throwing a punch, but after a pause, he continued to rush towards Kosmo.

Kosmo crossed his hands in front of him. If he didn't activate the artificial collapse, he would have no chance of winning against Qianjie. Even in his previous life, he still couldn't defeat Qianjie even if he activated the artificial collapse.

But he knew that now he had to go all out to fight Qianjie. Zhu Yufeng and other people who could defeat Qianjie had already gone to the moon. Now the only one among the Fire Moths who could suppress Qianjie was Aponia. However, although Aponia could suppress Qianjie, Kosmo felt that blindly suppressing him would only make Qianjie more angry.

He understood Qianjie's thoughts very well, or rather, because Qianjie's thoughts had always been pure, the reason for Qianjie's anger was also easy to understand.

In this battle of the End, there are only two people who can fight the End head-on: Kevin and Zhu Yufeng. Zhu Yufeng is because he is originally another End, and Kevin is the strongest fusion warrior besides Zhu Yufeng. Only the two of them are needed for this battle.

Kosmo knew very well that this arrangement was correct. Having fought with the End in his previous life, he had a deep understanding of the End's power and his helplessness in the face of it. Except for Zhu Yufeng and Kevin, no one else was qualified to intervene in this battle.

But in this case, the fighters among them would be completely useless, at least that's how Kosmo understood it.

Mobius and Velvet will assist Alicia and the others in locating the Cocoon of the End and fight on another battlefield. Although Pado's combat power is weak, she can open the "door" and play a key role in this final battle that concerns the survival of mankind and also determines the fate of Zhu Yufeng and Alicia.

But what about pure combat personnel like me and Qianjie...

The current arrangement is to stay on the surface and join others in fighting against the tide of Honkai beasts that continue to attack human cities.

Kosmo also felt very aggrieved. They had fought together for so long, but in the end he could not help at all in the battle that determined the fate of his important comrades.

Qianjie's thoughts were basically the same as his, so Qianjie became very irritable. For him, he would rather die in the battle of the end and be crushed to death like an ant, than stay on the ground to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers.

Even if he was crushed to death like an ant, at least he could still block a wave of Doom's attacks for Zhu Yufeng or Kevin.

This was exactly what happened in the last End War. Within five minutes of the start of the battle, End gathered the Honkai energy that had not yet completely dissipated when it was born, and launched an extremely strong large-scale AOE. Kosmo and Qianjie chose to step forward and block this wave of AOE with their lives in order to keep Zhu Yufeng and Kevin behind them in good condition as much as possible. Of course, they did not die in the end, because Zhu Yufeng managed to save them...

Therefore, although Kosmo was also dissatisfied with this arrangement, reason told him that he would only cause trouble if he went there. Even if he could really help Zhu Yufeng or Kevin block an attack, judging from Zhu Yufeng's character, that guy would use even greater strength to rescue him... It would be better not to go.

Qianjie also knew this, so he became even more furious.

Therefore, he needed to find someone to fight.

After picking and choosing, Fire Moth was the only one left who could fight. Beelzebub, Esmodesma and other fallen angels had already gone to Admireth, and the fallen angels who could fight were no longer in the headquarters.

Come to think of it, it seems that Astaroth has also left the Fire Moth. Now Lilim and Mavis are both being taken care of by Graysh...

While Kosmo was thinking about all this in his heart, he once again met Qianjie's fist wrapped in flames in the form of an artificial collapse.

The battle between the two lasted for half an hour, and in the end, Kosmo was still unable to defeat Qianjie.

“Tsk…” Qianjie stopped on his own initiative. The flames on his body dissipated and he turned back into a human. He looked down at Kosmo and said, “You are still the same as in your last life. You refuse to use your full strength until you die.”

"I have tried my best," said Kosmo.

"Hmph... that's your best effort?" Qianjie snorted coldly, "Where's your power that can rival the Karma Demon? You hesitate when using your power. In the end, what can you protect?"

Kosmo was silent. According to Qianjie, he did not use his full strength... because he really did not want to use that power. Kevin could use the power of Karma Demon freely, but he still could not fully master the power of Vishnu. He did not know what he would be like after taking that last step. Maybe he would be very strong, but more likely he would fall into a frenzy where he could not distinguish between friend and foe... That would be very dangerous for his teammates.

Compared with his previous life, this time Kosmo has been trying to make better use of Vishnu's power, but he has never been able to take the last step. Several times when he tried to completely liberate himself, he felt signs of losing control and could only suppress it by force to end the process.

According to Mobius, the Ark Project is the most suitable plan for him. During the voyage of the Ark, Vishnu's super-mutation factor in his body will also absorb the Honkai energy in the universe and assist in the further growth of his strength. In that case, he will catch up with Kevin sooner or later.

But... at that time, he rejected the Ark Plan. He knew that the Ark Plan was an obvious way to survive, but in his eyes that was no different from being a "deserter". Because of his refusal to participate, Grayshure's idea of ​​actively wanting to implement the Ark Plan was rejected by Zhu Yufeng, causing the Ark Plan to be shelved for a time until it was restarted after the Final Battle.

In short, theoretically, if he completely releases the power of Vishnu, he can indeed reach the strength of the Karma Demon Kevin, but now even the Karma Demon Kevin is not strong enough to participate in this Apocalypse War... Therefore, Kevin has decided to shoulder the power of the Apocalypse and move towards the goal of "Savior Kevin" that exists in theory.

According to what Mebius said, "Kevin the Savior" might really be able to compete with "Lucifer the Dawn".

As for the "Lucifer the Demon" state that Zhu Yufeng displayed in his previous life, that state was too uncontrollable and far less stable than "Lucifer the Dawn". Moreover, in this battle of the end, Zhu Yufeng would definitely not fight the end in the form of "Lucifer the Dawn", but in his true form of the Perfect Ruler.

Qianjie calmed down temporarily after the fight. If he was angry again, he would vent it on those Honkai beasts...

Kosmo moved his aching limbs. He really couldn't be careless in the battle with Qianjie. Qianjie said that he didn't dare to use all his strength, but that was not entirely true. In the last life's Battle of the End, when he and Qianjie stood in front of Kevin and Zhu Yufeng, he released the power of Vishnu to the maximum to dissolve and absorb the collapse energy of the End. However, the power of the End at that moment exceeded the upper limit that Vishnu could bear, and he was almost starved to death. If Zhu Yufeng had not come later, he would have really died.

Kosmo let out a long breath. As expected, he was still unwilling to give up. He still wanted to participate in the End War...

For the sake of this final battle, he has always been looking for Mobius or actively devouring other Honkai beasts when performing missions, but... it can only be said that the results are not very good. It is really unrealistic to catch up with Kevin and Zhu Yufeng by relying on Vishnu's devouring of other Honkai beasts in just a few years.

Growth also takes time, but now he doesn't have the time to let Vishnu continue to grow.

Kosmo looked towards the exit of the training ground. The blonde girl was standing there with her hands behind her back, looking at him from afar.

"Desdobia? When did she come?" Kosmo was a little confused. He was concentrating on fighting Qianjie just now and didn't really notice when Desdobia came.

Desdobia is much better now, but she is still not willing to communicate with other people. I don’t know how long it will take before I can see the smile of Desdobia again, or... maybe I will never see it again?

People always have to go through the process of growth, but some of the scars left in the heart by growth are always too deep.

Just like when he was just reborn, Desdobia always said that he had changed. Yes, after experiencing everything in his previous life, even if he was reborn, his heart could never return to the boy he used to be.

"Desdobia, why are you here?" Kosmo walked over and asked.

Desdobia only looked at Kosmo's clothes, which were a little tattered due to the battle with Qianjie, and said softly: "Amo...you...still want to go to the moon, with Feng and the others, to face the end?"
