The black abyss and white flower pierced through the body of the End, the time-stopped space was shattered, and the two returned to the End Crater once again.
Zhu Yufeng quickly distanced himself from her, waiting for the resurrection of the End. From the battle just now, in addition to the fact that the End could speak, he also found that the End's fighting style was gradually moving away from the concept of a machine. She seemed to have begun to have her own thoughts. In the battles so far, the End had gradually changed her original style of fighting that relied on the power of the End to directly send bricks flying.
This undoubtedly added a lot of difficulty to him.
The place of origin.
"The End is gradually beginning to think." Lilith looked at Alicia and said, "But her purpose from beginning to end is also very clear."
Alicia understood. She knew why Lilith added this sentence at the end. What she meant was that even if the End was gradually beginning to have thoughts, there was no possibility of any peace talks between the two sides. The End's having thoughts was a very bad situation, which would make the battle on Zhu Yufeng's side even worse.
If the opponent is an AI-driven machine, you can still take advantage of its AI-driven characteristics to seize the opportunity to counterattack, but if the opponent is an enemy with thinking ability, it will be much more troublesome than a stupid AI.
Alicia was silent for a moment, then said, "Hua's suppression of the two of us shouldn't be able to suppress the two of us from releasing our powers at the same time, right?"
"Although I really want to be Feng's white moonlight alone...but at least now, my goal is the same as yours." Lilith crossed her arms and said, "There is no chance to hesitate anymore."
Alicia nodded.
Mebius Laboratories.
Hua, who was operating Yu Duchen with his eyes closed, suddenly felt like he was hit hard by something. The Yu Duchen in his hand was also severely damaged and became dim. Hua himself had blood flowing out of all his orifices.
Hua wiped the blood off his face, looked at Mebius, and said with some difficulty: "I'm sorry, I... failed..."
Mebius' pupils shrank, but she didn't say anything more. She just said into the communicator: "Hua's attempt to stop them failed. Both Origins have been sacrificed... Weiwei, bring Qianjie and the others back."
Moon base.
"The location of the Cocoon of the End has finally been found..." Mei said in a low voice.
Kevin beside him clenched his hands, and the ground at his feet was directly covered with a layer of frost, while Padu leaned against the wall somewhat weakly, muttering: "Sister Ellie, Sister Lilith... If you do this, how are we going to explain to Brother Yufeng when he comes back..."
Chapter 341: The Final Battle (End)
The End Crater.
The battle between the Ends is still going on. The battle between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage. The area outward from the End Crater has experienced varying degrees of space distortion. On the other side, the fight between Yuga and the End's companion Honkai beast is still going on. The two Honkai beasts have been fought from the moon's surface into space, and both have suffered varying degrees of injuries on their bodies.
Yuga can reverse his injuries by reversing time, but the Honkai beast on the opposite side can restrain Yuga's time reversal ability and turn Yuga's reversal back to its original state.
"Siwon...do you also like my feelings for you?" Zhongyan asked again.
Zhu Yufeng did not answer the End, but used the Divine Judgment that had been alienated by the power of the End to block the End's actions, and then used the Black Abyss and White Flower to pierce the End once again.
Zhongyan just looked at Zhu Yufeng and continued, "Siyuan has returned to the 'cocoon'."
Zhu Yufeng's pupils shrank. His first reaction was that Zhongyan was trying to play a psychological game with him, but then his reason told him that there was no need for Zhongyan to tell this lie. In other words, even if Zhongyan had the ability to think, there was no possibility of him lying.
The End now gave him the feeling of a child who was learning about humans.
Does this mean... he is still... a step slow?
Zhu Yufeng took a few steps back. The part of Zhongyan's body that was pierced by the black abyss and white flower quickly repaired itself. She looked into Zhu Yufeng's eyes and said in a very slow voice: "Siyuan wanted you to live, so he returned to the 'cocoon'."
Then Zhongyan said: "Are you... very sad now?"
"Yes, I... am very sad... I watched them leave once again, and was once again powerless to do anything..." Zhu Yufeng said softly. There was nothing to deny. This was how he felt at the moment.
Just like in his previous life, he saved everyone among the heroes except Alicia, but failed to save the other fallen angels and failed to save Alicia.
He and Alicia had promised to save each other, but... he seemed to have broken his promise...
However, what he did was one and the same as what he said. Zhongyan still maintained a strange curiosity. After the initial depression, his mood returned to calm again. The confrontation between the two men never diminished from beginning to end.
Zhu Yufeng found that it was becoming increasingly difficult for his emotions to fluctuate greatly. Just like in his previous life, his emotions as a human were suppressed...but the departure of Alicia and Lilith continued to affect him to a small extent, proving that he had not completely lost his emotions as a human being.
"Before, Siwon returned to the 'Cocoon' because he liked humans, but this time, before humans, they want you to live." Zhongyan said again.
Zhu Yufeng used all his strength to knock the End away, and said in a serious tone: "I know."
"But you don't like humans." said the End.
"What about you? Do you like humans or hate them?" Zhu Yufeng asked back.
Zhongyan's tone remained unchanged: "I don't know. If Siwon's feelings towards humans are love, I don't have that kind of feeling. But I don't have the same 'hate' feeling towards humans as another Siwon, so I don't know."
"Then why are you standing here, resetting civilization?" Zhu Yufeng asked, staring at Zhongyan.
"Because Cocoon needed me to do this, I did it." Zhongyan answered as if it was a matter of course, "However, this time, Cocoon said that you have higher priority than humans."
Zhu Yufeng stopped asking questions and continued to fight with the End. Knowing that Alicia and Lilith had been sacrificed, he had to survive in order to go back to see Mavis and Lilith...
Moon base.
Everyone was working hard to figure out how to cut off the path between the Cocoon of the End and the End. Suddenly, a researcher stopped what he was doing, looked up at Mei, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke as if he had made up his mind: "Dr. Mei, is the purpose of the End really to reset human civilization?"
Mei and Kevin both turned their eyes to him. The researcher continued, "Isn't the purpose of the End Feng Feng? All the Herrschers call Feng a 'traitor'. The End is the one who issues judgment. She is here to judge Feng."
Kevin's eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at the researcher indifferently, waiting for the other party's next words. Mei frowned and glanced at Kevin, but Kevin didn't seem to notice her gaze. Under Kevin's undisguised oppressive gaze, the other party said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Isn't it so? Even if it's Kevin, he can only withstand the power of the End for a period of time, but Feng has been fighting with the End for so long, is there any need to hide anything? Feng is the Herrscher, the Herrscher who betrayed Cocoon. Because of his betrayal, Cocoon will send out the End, right?"
"So, what you mean?" Mei asked.
"If the target of the End is Feng, then no matter who wins or loses the battle between the two Herrschers... it has nothing to do with humans, right?" The researcher said, seeming to give up on himself. "The End is immortal, and we can't do anything to her. If the End will disappear as soon as Feng dies, is there any need for us to continue fighting?"
The End's seemingly unlimited resurrection again and again, and the stronger sense of oppression each time it is resurrected, constantly challenged the nerves of the researchers in the lunar base. The Origin opened up a path to where the Cocoon of the End was, and the Cocoon of the End also used the path opened by the Origin to transmit His "voice".
"How can you be sure that as long as Feng dies, the End will disappear?" Kevin said word by word.
"In front of Cocoon, aren't humans just like ants? Does it need to deceive us?" The researcher's eyes were filled with pain. "How can we possibly resist such a god? The Seventh Ruler wants to kill Feng, and the Eighth and Ninth are also targeting Feng. Isn't this obvious? Feng betrayed Cocoon, so Cocoon wants to execute the traitor. Maybe the Rulers appeared because of Feng..."
"Where's the evidence?" Mei said calmly, "Just because of a voice from Cocoon, you deny Kaede's contribution in the fight against Honkai? You think that if there was no Kaede, there would be no Herrscher?"
Whether emotionally or rationally, Mei didn't think that what the researcher heard from Cocoon was true. According to Kevin, even if Feng didn't show up, humans would still have to face the end and the twelve Herrschers before the end. Of course, what Kevin said and what the researchers said were actually empty words to Mei, but Mei still tended to agree with Kevin.
In addition, she could feel that Kevin seemed to be really angry at the moment. The temperature in the command room of the entire lunar base dropped by several degrees. Standing next to Kevin, she could already feel the biting cold coming from Kevin's body.
"How can you be sure that as long as Brother Yufeng dies, Zhongyan will disappear?" Paduo couldn't help but say, "Aren't you the ones who usually ask for evidence? Now that you've heard what 'Cocoon' said, do you think it's all Brother Yufeng's fault?"
"Whether what Cocoon said is true or not, it's actually not that important." Another researcher said, "Even if Cocoon is deceiving us, after the end of the war, can Feng, as a Herrscher, really coexist with us?"
"Why not?!" Paduo asked, "Didn't Brother Yufeng come all the way with us like this?!"
"Who can guarantee the future?" the researcher said. "He is a Herrscher, not a human!"
The temperature in the room suddenly dropped, causing Paddo, who was about to fight back, to shudder. She looked at Kevin, and May also whispered, "Kevin!"
The biting coldness disappeared at this moment. Kevin took a deep look at all the researchers present, no matter the two who had spoken earlier or the others who were silent at the moment. In their eyes, Kevin saw the same idea, but only those two dared to speak out, while the others chose to remain silent.
He suddenly remembered what Zhu Yufeng had said to him once: "After the collapse ends one day, will humans really be able to accept a Herrscher, an alien who can directly dominate their fate?"
"Kevin, your trust cannot represent all of humanity."
The Battle of the End dragged on for too long. Originally, Kevin's decision to carry the power of the End could have barely explained Zhu Yufeng's reasons and covered up his identity as a Herrscher, but... it dragged on for too long, and Zhu Yufeng's identity as a Herrscher could no longer be concealed.
In silence, the researcher who spoke first continued, "That is the End that can reset civilization. Feng can kill the End several times, doesn't that prove that he is more dangerous than the End? Moreover, the End War has dragged on for too long, and the surviving cities on Earth are almost unable to hold on... I understand your feelings as Feng's comrades who have always fought side by side with him, but... the Herrscher is the Herrscher, and will never be a human..."
Kevin just looked at everyone in silence. This time he controlled his emotions and did not let the low temperature affect the environment. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on Mei. He was waiting for the final answer from his lover.
Mei just stated a very simple reality: "If Feng dies and the End has not disappeared, what means do humans have to fight against the End?"
"Don't we still have the Tianting?" someone whispered, "Since we can't trust either side, why don't we just let them disappear together?"
"But the End will be resurrected, right?" Pado's voice became louder inadvertently.
"Then cut off the connection between the Cocoon of the End and the End." The researcher said, "This is... what we are going to do. But before that, we need to make both the End and Feng consume each other's power as much as possible."
The entire command room fell into silence.
Earth, Fire Moth Command Room.
Lionel listened silently to the entire conversation in the command room on the moon. His eyes fell on the core key of the Tianting placed on the table. Not long ago, the Herrscher, who was once admired by everyone but now suspected by everyone, handed it to him personally and told him that if necessary, all the firepower of the Tianting should be directed at him.
"It's not that humans can't tolerate you, but that humans are not worthy of walking with you..." Lionel closed his eyes for a long time, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face, "Yes, I am also one of these humans who are not worthy of walking with you..."
Mebius Laboratories.
"These bastards..." Mebius clenched her hands. If thoughts could kill people, she would rush directly to the moon and shoot all those guys there.
"Mei synchronized the data they collected with ours." Wei Wei's voice sounded, "If both sides proceed at the same time, we still have a chance!"
"...Yes, there is still a chance." Mobius whispered. How to deal with Zhu Yufeng's identity after the war is a matter for the war. The most urgent task now is to bring him back. Alicia is dead, and Zhu Yufeng can't... again...
If in the end, they still couldn't save either of these two people, then what's the difference between being reborn and not being reborn? !
Restraining his inner anger, Mebius focused all his attention on synchronizing the data with that on the lunar base. If the data on both sides were synchronized, with himself and Vilvi here, they should be able to catch up with the lunar base if they try hard!
Qianjie was not so good-tempered. He directly picked up Su and said, "Can't you use that divine key that can teleport?! Let me go..."
"Qianjie, please calm down." Aponia's voice rang out, directly suppressing Qianjie who was about to go berserk.
Aponia glanced at Mebius who was working quickly on the computer, then looked at Qianjie, and sighed softly.
"The Herrscher is the Herrscher and will never be a human..." Kosmo repeated what he heard, "But... Feng was also... No, he has always been a human! He is our companion! He was, is, and will be!"
He originally wanted to say that Zhu Yufeng was also a human in his previous life before he became a Herrscher, but he suddenly realized that what he said was wrong, so he immediately changed it and his tone became firm.
Ying was silent for a while, and then walked out as if she remembered something. When she passed by Abonya, Abonya suddenly said, "Ying, no matter what happened, please don't hurt innocent people."
Ying turned her head suddenly and looked at Aponia, but Aponia just stood there with his eyes downcast, not looking at her. After a while, Ying said, "Then let me see if he is guilty or not..."
Aponia did not answer, and Sakura left Mebius' laboratory directly. After Sakura left, Aponia raised her head, looked in the direction of the moon, and placed her hands on her chest as if praying.
The End Crater.
Zhu Yufeng crushed the spear that had pierced his shoulder. If he had not reacted quickly enough to dodge it, the spear would have pierced his heart.
Even though he would not die if his heart was pierced, the power of time could repair it anyway, it was just a matter of whether it hurt more or less. The reason why the spear pierced his shoulder just now was because... the last fallen angel, his sister, Astaroth, also died...
Finally, he was the only one left...
At the moment when the news of Astaroth's death reached his mind, his authority was finally completely unified, and he became the Herrscher of the End, integrating the authority of all twelve Herrschers.
The debate in the command room was also transmitted directly to his mind by the Cocoon of the End...but he was not surprised at all. He had never had any hope for pre-civilized humans, as they would always turn into disappointment in the end anyway.
"It's just that I strengthened my heart for the final choice." Zhu Yufeng thought.
Zhongyan didn't say anything else, but her eyes were no longer dull as before, and she began to show some life. However, all this had nothing to do with Zhu Yufeng.
The fierce battle between the two sides is still going on, and both the Earth and the Moon are racing against time to prepare to cut off the connection path between the Cocoon of the End and the End.
Everyone's eyes were focused on this final battlefield.
Fifth time, sixth time...
After killing the End six times, the environment near the End Crater has become unrecognizable.
Although the End was killed six times, it would be resurrected every time and become stronger after resurrection. In addition, every time the End was killed, the assistance of the Moonlight Throne and the Thunder was needed to break the End's shield. Otherwise, relying solely on Zhu Yufeng's constantly consumed strength would only make the battle more difficult.
However, the engines of the Moonlight Throne and Thunder were close to overload, and soon their support would be ineffective.
"Leonard, it's time to pull the trigger." Zhu Yufeng wiped the blood off his face. He was too lazy to repair the wounds on his body. Instead of wasting his energy on this, he might as well stay with the End for a while longer.
Spiral Workshop.
"That's it! Increase the computing power of No. 1 to 16 to the maximum and completely cut off the connection between the Cocoon of the End and the End!" Velvi was unusually excited. She and Mebius quickly calculated the path to cut off the connection between the Cocoon of the End and the End!
Moon base.
"The connection between Cocoon and the End has been severed!"
"Then all we have to do next is wait for Feng and Zhongyan..."
Suddenly, an alarm sounded and everyone looked at the electronic screen. The red warning light on it reminded everyone that the Tianting had activated its self-destruction power.
Kevin and Paddy's pupils shrank.
The End Crater.
The Black Abyss White Flower and the Divine Grace Judgment had been thrown aside. After such a long battle, the two divine keys were almost scrapped. Zhu Yufeng no longer used his own authority to repair them. Instead, he used the spear condensed from his remaining Honkai energy to nail the End to the ground. He raised his head and saw the light that seemed to cleanse all the darkness.
He closed his eyes and chuckled softly.
Earth, inside the Fire Moth command room.
The Seven Thunders of Purification were placed on Lionel's neck, with the tip of the knife flashing with lightning. Lionel looked at the killer in front of him calmly, without any excuses, waiting for his own end.
Ying stared at Lionel intently, almost speaking out from between her teeth, as if questioning Lionel, or as if questioning others: "Why...you are not guilty..."
"Because I am a human being, and I am born with sin. Everyone is like this, so I am...not guilty..."
Chapter 342 I Found You
Zhu Yufeng staggered step by step in the starry sky. At this moment, he was covered with bruises and his clothes were torn. He looked up and around from time to time, as if trying to find a way to leave here, or in other words, a door to leave here.
