He had witnessed the two men fighting together with his own eyes.
That was the first time he was defeated, and he was taken down by these two people working together.
Alicia...her fighting style doesn't quite suit Feng.
No matter what, his thoughts will not change.
"Come to think of it, Kosmo is here too. He left Desdobia alone in the safe zone and followed you in. When I saw her, the little girl was throwing a tantrum." Zhu Yufeng said.
"That's his own choice." Kevin said expressionlessly, "Besides, you're not much older than Dess Dobia now, right?" You're almost my age, and you call Dess Dobia a little girl?
“After all, we are reborn. Looking at her really feels like looking at a little girl.” Zhu Yufeng chuckled.
As they were talking, the two of them came to the edge of the central area where the Honkai erupted.
"With such a high concentration of Honkai energy, there shouldn't be any survivors, right?" Zhu Yufeng glanced at the Honkai energy detector he carried with him, "We are surprisingly the first ones to arrive."
The measures taken by the Fire Moth to deal with this Honkai were to surround it from the outside, gradually advance to the central area, and wait for the concentration of Honkai energy to drop due to the complete birth of the Herrscher and her companion Honkai beasts before launching a general attack.
After all, the Honkai energy generated by the birth of the Herrscher is something that ordinary people cannot withstand. Zhu Yufeng estimated that the only ones who could go in now were him, Kevin, and Alicia.
"Feng!" Alicia's voice came from behind. Zhu Yufeng turned around and saw Alicia waving at him and walking towards him with Desdobia.
Zhu Yufeng frowned, and he stepped forward and said, "Ailixia, how could you bring someone with no combat experience here?"
"It was Miss Desdobia who asked for it. You know, I always find it hard to refuse requests from cute girls." Alicia shrugged, looking playful and cute.
Zhu Yufeng sighed helplessly. He knew that Alicia was not that kind of person. If Desdobia was really not suitable to join the battle, she would not agree to it. There was only one disadvantage of her doing this... If she let civilians join the battle, she would have to write at least 10,000 words of self-criticism.
Oh, I also asked Kevin, who is still a civilian, to join the battle. He also has to write a self-criticism. That’s fine…
Chapter 14: The Most Embarrassing Herrscher Appears
Kosmo and Ying were the last to arrive and join the team. Of course, they were also denounced by the higher-ups. Even though Zhu Yufeng was the fastest growing warrior within the Fire Moth, it was not allowed to involve civilians in the battle against Honkai in principle.
Zhu Yufeng simply explained the reasons he had thought of a long time ago with an expressionless face, and asked Kevin and the other two on the spot whether they were willing to join the Fire Moth.
After seeing Kevin, Kosmo and Desdobia agree one after another, and Youhen coming to smooth things over, the top management didn't say anything more and only asked Zhu Yufeng and Alicia to submit their reviews on time.
However, even so, Kevin and his companions were still not allowed to participate in the crusade against the Third Herrscher. They were only allowed to assist in dealing with Honkai beasts under the command of Hen. After all, in name, they were not formally trained soldiers. Of course, Desdobia was not one of them, either in name or in reality.
After finishing the communication with the higher-ups, Desdobia grabbed Kosmo's ear and took him aside, expressing her strong dissatisfaction with Kosmo's insistence on running to Changkong City alone and then leaving her aside and entering the danger zone.
Kosmo could only silently let Desdobia pull his ears and pinch his face.
Alicia, who was standing next to Zhu Yufeng, said: "Seeing this scene, I suddenly miss the time when Kosmo had horns. It felt pretty good."
"Destobia and Hen... they are two very important people in Kosmo's life." Zhu Yufeng crossed his arms and said, "Their successive sacrifices in the Eighth and Ninth Herrscher incidents were a huge blow to Kosmo."
Kevin recalled Kosmo's departure from the team in his previous life and his accusations against him, and said, "That was... a sacrifice that was chosen out of helplessness."
"There's nothing I can do..." Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes. What he thought of was the tragedy of restraint. If he were to choose again now, he would still agree to the extremely evil plan. If he wanted to defeat the end, this matter could not be avoided no matter what.
However, even if most of the fusion warriors were preserved, could the End really win? Having personally experienced the power of the End, he knew very well that even if there were many fusion warriors left alive, they would not be a match for the End.
"Feng, do you think we can win this time?" Kevin asked, "We know the fate that is coming, and we know the characteristics of our enemies, but even so..."
"We can only hold on until the end. When the end comes, it will be impossible to save the situation. If the Chimera Plan can be implemented earlier and smoothly this time, there may be some hope." Zhu Yufeng said. No matter what he thought these days, with the current technology, apart from the Chimera Plan to improve the combat capability of individual soldiers, he could not think of any other way to defeat the end.
Kevin looked at Zhu Yufeng. Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Yufeng continued, "But this time, Mobius was very determined. I couldn't persuade her to agree to my implementation of the Chimera Project. But..."
"She's right," Kevin said. "We can find other ways instead of letting you bear this alone."
Zhu Yufeng looked at Kevin: "What if I say that this is also a helpless sacrifice?"
"If we still can't defeat the End this time, it won't be an unavoidable sacrifice, but a meaningless sacrifice." Kevin said to Zhu Yufeng.
Alicia had been listening to the two people talking silently. She and Feng had discussed this issue before. Feng said at that time: "This is just like the question you asked Kevin. As long as you pull the trigger on me, you can save most people. So what should you choose?"
Her answer was similar to Kevin's. She said, "But this is not a can, it's a possibility. If it's just a possibility, then I will never try it."
Zhu Yufeng was silent for a while, then looked towards the direction where the Herrscher was born in the central area: "If you don't try, you will never know what the result will be, even if there is only the slightest possibility..."
"Feng, what exactly are you fighting for?" Kevin said bluntly. He had always been doubtful about this question because he was very clear about his position. He only did this because Mei needed him to do so.
But what about Feng? What was he doing?
Zhu Yufeng looked at Alysia: "Alysia, I think I can give my answer to your question. Before you decided to sacrifice yourself, were you sure of your power and success?"
Alicia was stunned. After all, she was trying, but sacrificing herself and watching others sacrifice... the feeling was different after all.
"If we can't change your will, then this time, let me carry out this plan," Kevin said.
Zhu Yufeng was the first person to implement the Chimera Plan, and after him, following the path he took, Kevin was the second executor of the Chimera Plan. This time, Kevin was going to implement the Chimera Plan at the same time as Zhu Yufeng.
"We'll talk to Mobius when the time comes." Zhu Yufeng looked down at the data on the instrument, "We need to prepare to start the battle."
"Well, Kevin, we'll go first~" Alicia waved to Kevin, and followed Zhu Yufeng into the central area with Ying.
In fact, according to the archives that were read later, the Third Herrscher born in the Third Great Collapse did not cause much damage to the Fire Moth. Instead, it was her companion Honkai Beast Shesha that caused considerable trouble to the Fire Moth. It was not until the Sixth Herrscher incident that she was truly destroyed by Mobius.
"Come to think of it, this should be my first meeting with the Third Herrscher... Oh, she's there." Zhu Yufeng looked up and saw the Third Herrscher standing on the top of the building in the distance.
He suddenly felt powerless to complain. Standing so obviously, are you afraid that others won't notice you? Are you a pufferfish from the next era?
It would be great if the later Herrschers were as arrogant as the third Herrscher. The later Herrschers would either hide and grow for a while after birth before appearing to cause the Honkai, or have special powers like the eleventh Herrscher. After all, all instruments driven by Honkai energy would malfunction within the Divine Grace Barrier and ordinary people would die if they entered.
And this third Herrscher, just like her power, thunder, announced her existence to the world as soon as she was born.
"Team Four has found the target and is taking up position."
"First team, target found, taking position."
"Team Seven, target found, taking up position."
……
Answers like these were heard one after another in the communication channel. Zhu Yufeng probably knew how the Third Herrscher failed in his previous life.
Find a suitable location, set up the gun, load the special anti-lawyer bullets, and aim.
His sniping performance is the best among the three people, so he is the one who will snipe the Third Herrscher. The nominal team leader, Alicia, is there discussing the Third Herrscher's dress taste with Sakura...
The conclusion is that it is not very good and does not conform to Alicia's aesthetic.
By the way, shouldn't you two pay attention to where Shesha is? Or help him keep an eye out for any Honkai beasts around...
Sakura drew her sword, then put it away.
A breakthrough-level Honkai beast just disappeared like that.
That's okay...
"Team 16 reports, we have discovered a snake-shaped Honkai beast, its Honkai energy level... has exceeded the Emperor level!"
Oh, Shesha shows up.
"Team 17 reports that we have also discovered this Honkai beast, and we may not be able to join them."
"Team 21 reports..."
Zhu Yufeng found the third Herrscher in the center of his field of vision, and then opened the communication channel: "Second Squad, sniper in place."
He was waiting for instructions. At this time, it would be better to snipe at the same time, because if the person who fired first missed the target due to external factors, it might alert the Herrscher. In addition, in order to avoid being discovered by the Herrscher, there were actually other teams responsible for clearing out the Honkai beasts in the area to attract the Herrscher's attention.
He looked through the scope at the Herrscher who was still releasing his power. If the Herrscher's lightning struck him, he would be dead for sure. But... putting aside your impressive hit rate, are you just going to stand here and be a target? At least if you can't hit him, you can just go down and fight him in close combat!
I would like to call you the most shameful Law Enforcer of the previous civilization. I have never seen the first two, so they are not within the scope of discussion.
I originally thought that the Fifth Herrscher who was torn to pieces by Qianjie was the most shameful, but after seeing how strong your brother Jie is, you will feel that the Fifth Herrscher is not that shameful... at least he was not shot to death like the Third Herrscher.
Zhu Yufeng sighed and pulled the trigger as instructed.
"The target has been hit, requesting to go and retrieve the Third Herrscher." He reported.
Alicia was a little dazed as she looked at the place where the Third Herrscher fell. She said, "Although I think her taste is not very good, this ending is too..."
Suddenly, urgent voices from other teams rang out in the communication channel: "The number of target Honkai beasts has exceeded expectations, request support, request support!"
"Second team got it, we'll be here to support you." Alicia replied. Seeing Zhu Yufeng looking over, she explained, "After all, I don't really want to see a girl falling after being shot by a dozen guns..."
Zhu Yufeng packed up the sniper rifle and put it on his back: "Let's go, let's go meet Shesha."
Chapter 15 Sacrifice
The Judgment-level Honkai Beast Shesha is theoretically the first Judgment-level Honkai Beast to appear. The Honkai Beasts that appeared before him were at most at the Emperor level, such as Indra.
Its threat as a Judgment-level lies not only in its Honkai energy level, but also in its special abilities.
Mebius once called it "Shesha the World Devourer". It can blur the concept of "border" and transform into a dark green shadow to roam in any territory. The huge liquid-like shadow is also a form of Shesha, which can be used to attack humans and devour everything it needs.
This ability was also reflected in Mebius later.
Another of its abilities is immortality. Shesha cannot be destroyed by conventional means. Even in the end, Shesha's larvae were recovered by Mobius and forcibly fused, while the rest of Shesha was sealed in a container by the Fire Moth, and no one was allowed to approach until they died on their own due to lack of Honkai energy supply.
This shows how difficult Shesha is.
This also shows how shameful the Third Herrscher is.
In fact, it's not her fault. After studying the bodies of the first and second Herrschers, the Fire Moth extracted and developed bullets that can be used for special attacks against Herrschers. If I had to describe it, it would be similar to the Philosopher's Stone in the novel "Dragon Tribe" that Zhu Yufeng read before traveling through time, which had a special attack effect against the dragon clan.
It's a pity that this thing was only used three times. The first battle was against the third Herrscher, and then the fourth and sixth Herrscher. However, only the third Herrscher was killed instantly by this thing.
The Seventh Herrsler used her power to destroy the bullets before they even hit her, the Eighth Herrsler simply had no entity, the Ninth Herrsler controlled gravity, the Tenth Herrsler had too many people, the Eleventh Herrsler was too far away and had no effect on Honkai energy, and the Twelfth Herrsler was even less vulnerable to this thing as a virus.
Once again, we can see how shameful the Third Herrscher is.
By the time Zhu Yufeng and the other two arrived at the scene, the team that had discovered Shesha had already lost most of their members because they had no information about Shesha.
Shesha is now in a world-devouring state, lingering in this area like a flowing shadow, and the Fire Moth warriors' attack methods are completely unable to hurt Shesha in this state.
Support from other teams also arrived one after another, but they were also helpless against Shesha.
The only ones who can cause effective damage to Shesha are Zhu Yufeng, who has a weapon powered by Honkai energy, and a very small number of warriors like Alicia who can use Honkai energy themselves.
"In the last life, how did you kill, no, severely injure Shesha?" Zhu Yufeng asked as he used the special weapon made for him by Wei Erwei to fight off a wave of Shesha's attacks.
Alicia shot an arrow and knocked down Shesha who had just appeared, and then said: "If it was Feng, you should be able to guess what will happen next, right?"
"Use some people as bait to hold back Shesha, and then... launch missiles to directly destroy this area." Zhu Yufeng said, "After all, compared to the third Herrscher, Shesha does not have the ability to resist missiles, which are weapons of mass destruction."
"Yes, as you think." Alicia's voice was a little low. If possible, she didn't want any casualties, but this was a war, and there could be no casualties and sacrifices.
Compared with the casualties in the subsequent major collapses, the casualties this time can only be said to be negligible.
But even so, Shesha could not be completely eliminated.
Not long after, an order was issued from the top, and soldiers willing to sacrifice were selected on a voluntary basis to hold back Shesha.
Yes... At this time, people are full of confidence in defeating Honkai, so they dare to sacrifice. They believe that their sacrifice is valuable and that humanity will defeat Honkai.
Of course, before the new battle began, the soldiers who volunteered to sacrifice all went to say goodbye to Alicia. Zhu Yufeng stood aside and watched them express their gratitude and blessings to Alicia, and said to Ying on the side: "The soldiers at this time are the real soldiers. The soldiers who came later... were all crushed by despair."
Ying nodded to show her agreement with Zhu Yufeng.
"But... they probably couldn't imagine that this was the second time Alicia had seen them go to their death." Zhu Yufeng went on, "Even if it happened again, she would still only be able to watch like this..." One can imagine the depression in Alicia's heart.
For some reason, Zhu Yufeng felt inexplicably touched when he saw the relieved smiles on their faces and heard them talk about how Alicia helped them in their daily lives.
In his previous life, he had never cared about these things. He was focused on changing the fate of the Thirteen Heroes and defeating the Collapse, and had never paid attention to the daily lives of these warriors or even other ordinary people.
After everyone said goodbye to her, Alicia walked towards Zhu Yufeng who was standing aside, looked at their backs as they left and said, "Feng, do you know? They...are actually people who lost their loved ones because of the collapse. If even we forget them, the world will not remember them either."
Zhu Yufeng wanted to say that he didn't know them, but in the end he didn't say so. He looked at the soldiers leaving and said, "I don't know them, I don't even know their names, so... I think all I can do is remember this scene."
Humans have always been brave enough to sacrifice, even in the Eleventh Herrscher incident, when those fusion warriors resolutely decided to die even though they knew they had a 10-percent chance of survival. Or in the Twelfth Herrscher incident, when the scientific researchers tried to eliminate the virus that had been proliferated by the Twelfth Herrscher.
"So, Feng... answer me, this time, will you still make the same choice as them?" Alicia asked Zhu Yufeng.
Because in everyone's eyes, Zhu Yufeng is also a person who lost all his relatives because of the collapse. No, it's even more outrageous. He also lost everyone who knew him.
Because Zhu Yufeng has clearly stated that his family and friends are in another world.
Zhu Yufeng did not answer Ai Lixia, he didn't know how to answer.
The order for other teams to evacuate was quickly issued. They evacuated outside the original encirclement and waited for the missiles to hit the target area before entering it to confirm Shesha's death.
When he came out of the encirclement, Zhu Yufeng saw Kevin talking to Mei. There was a relaxed smile on Kevin's face that he had not seen for a long time.
"After all, you are still that fool at heart, and you haven't experienced the accumulated despair of fifty thousand years." Zhu Yufeng whispered with a smile.
Compared to the previous life, what has changed in this life is that Kevin took the initiative to join the Fire Moth, although the official reason was that he joined in pursuit of his girlfriend.
"Huh? What did you just say?" Alicia noticed that Zhu Yufeng was talking to himself.
