Yuki stood in front of the sea of ​​fire, a sinister smile on his face. He enjoyed the feeling of killing his enemies step by step, which echoed the words -

Those who can beat me can’t outwit me, and those who can outwit me can’t beat me.

The roaring soul fire burned everything. The strongest secret technique was only one percent. Most of the Hope's hull was burned, and the burning sky became more obvious.

The dead insects fell like raindrops, and the queen and the guards in the passage disappeared without a trace.

The commander-in-chief looked at him in horror, seeing the man standing on a high platform, with a burning sky and a swarm of insects raining down on him as a background. He looked like a demon, but more like a hero.

Chris swallowed with some difficulty, her mind still in a mess.

Is this a win? It’s that simple?

A wild cheer surged from her chest, but just as it reached her throat, it was choked back by the man's raised hand.

"We haven't won yet, don't be too happy." Yuki's tone was still indifferent, and it was hard to hear the hidden excitement.

[Player Yuki, you slayed the Zerg swarm crazily, achieving the Zerg Slayer achievement, gaining 2 Specialization Points and 2 Enhancement Points]

[Zerg Sweeper achievement will give you a reputation of hatred against Zerg]

An unprecedented reward, almost equivalent to an S-level mission evaluation.

But considering the insect corpses falling like raindrops, this is understandable. If you think about it carefully, it’s even a bit of a loss.

If you can take the fire away, the benefits will be far more than 1200 points.

"Why does this achievement also come with hatred reputation? Will I encounter Zerg again in the future?"

Yuki was confused by the explanation, but shook his head. Now was not the time to think about it.

Do you want to quit while you’re ahead?

Most of the energy of the fire was directly ignited by him, and the countdown to the return of the main mission has begun, but he glanced at the commander-in-chief and the captain who were covered in blood, and took a deep breath.

As a player, he has completed the main storyline, but the fate of mankind has not changed at all.

"The Queen is not dead, so the problem is not completely solved."

His words made everyone nervous. As long as the queen was not dead, even if the Fire Chaser Plan failed, humans would face even more crazy revenge.

Destroying the fire is just a means, no one wants to die with the fire.

"The fire is burning, and we're running out of time."

These words made the commander-in-chief despair. At his level, he certainly knew that the "reinforcements" could return after completing a certain goal, which was equivalent to the other party patting their butts and walking away, while they could only wait to die.

He was very angry and disappointed. He wanted to stand up, grab Yuki's clothes and roar at him, asking him if he had a clear conscience.

So many sacrifices, so much struggle, are they just stepping stones for them to escape?

Johnny Silverhand appeared beside him at some point, hesitant to speak. As a player, he had no choice, but as a human being, he still had a sense of shame.

"A report just came in from the front lines: some bugs were devoured during the battle. This is the on-site footage."

Perhaps in order to change the subject and delay time, a short video shot at the front line was played. It showed a team of psychic warriors fighting a bloody battle with a swarm of insects. However, during the fight, a large number of blood vessels suddenly stretched out from the flesh wall and ate up more than a dozen warrior insects.

Is the Queen crazy? Why is she targeting her own people?

The insect swarm's infighting diverted the original sharp topic. Yuki suddenly slapped his thigh and understood why.

"It's healing. Its main body was shattered just now, and it needs its offspring to heal. Do you remember how the Queen gave birth to the insect swarm?"

Split.

This is clearly recorded in the information. The antonym of division is aggregation. The queen is using the remaining insects to heal her wounds.

The winning rate suddenly soared, and quantity and quality finally became contradictory. There were not many bugs left around the queen, and its rebirth was no longer infinite.

"But we have to find it and kill it. However, the defense forces have reached their limit. This is an impossible task!"

The commander-in-chief growled. He was excited, but also filled with fear, because he knew that this could not be done by humans alone, and these aliens had lost their reason to continue fighting.

It is even more despairing to have hope right in front of you but unable to grasp it.

Yuki turned his head and looked at the trapped commander with a calm expression. After a while, he smiled softly and said:

"Don't get excited. There's still time, enough for me to kill the queen."

Everyone, including Johnny Silverhand, was stunned because there was no need for Yuuki to continue and this decision was a bit unwise.

Yuki didn't explain, but turned his head away: "Captain, do you remember what I said before?"

"Ah? That sentence?"

Yuki stared at her and pointed at the bloodstained power armor: "Remember to wear the clothes Miss Mai gave you."

After saying this, Yuki stepped on the charred insect corpses and climbed directly onto the crack, leaving the girl with a face full of question marks.

Chris thought for a long time, looked at the back, and suddenly her eyes widened, and her face began to tremble.

She remembered that when she returned from the wormhole war, the other party gave her a magazine.

"He wants to end this damn war!"

......

[Consume 4 enhancement points to upgrade the Hunter's musket to the Secret level (level 5)]

Chaos Item. Double-barreled Hunter's Pistol (Secret Grade) Three Forgings

[Reloads two projectiles every 10 seconds. Available with three types of projectiles: shotgun, buckshot, and incendiary. Power is proportional to the user's reload. Forging effect: Increases energy tolerance limit.]

[Added a special projectile filling mode that can be filled with substantial souls. The power is proportional to the mass of the projectile, and the tolerance limit is greatly increased]

[Side Effect: The projectile is made from the user's soul, and the consumption increases]

[Description: This is a firearm that originated from the soul. Please do not use it multiple times.]

Yuki stepped onto the twisted deck. The corpses of the insect swarm covered the plains. The sky was still burning, as if another sun had risen.

He didn't waste a second and immediately invested all the reinforcement points. Two of these four reinforcement points came from exploring outside the wall, and two were just gained.

Special projectiles? It's a bit like Zhang Jin's special ability.

Yuki had seen similar chaos props before, so it was not difficult for him to understand. He had stuffed his own soul energy into the previous muskets, and this thing could not be filled with too much energy, otherwise it would explode. It was even more impossible to pour all the energy of the devil's heart into it, otherwise the prop would explode and he would have to find someone to repair it.

Apart from its usefulness in starting fires and such, its power is actually not that great. Even when loaded at full power, it is only slightly more powerful than a blaster.

Physical soul?

Yuki immediately knew what to put in it. Stuffing in the soul of a super-powerful person would be equivalent to a person of this level self-destructing in an instant, unleashing all his energy.

Hey, I actually have an extraordinary soul, which is worth at least two or three hundred points.

The key is the versatility of this musket. If the bullet is loaded in advance, then anyone can pull the trigger, right?

"Are you sure you want to continue?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Johnny Silverhand appeared like a ghost, reminding him that the countdown to his return had begun.

Yuki put away his musket and glanced at him. "I don't like to leave any tails on my shoulders. The Queen has been severely injured. Now is the best opportunity, and those natives don't have the strength to continue. It always feels wrong to just stand by and watch. Since I promised to end the war, I must keep my promise."

Yuki looked at the insect nest in the distance, where the battle was still going on.

"Just because of integrity?" Silver Hand shook his head. People from Night City didn't believe this.

"Haha, players like me can be saviors worshipped by everyone, or we can become demons that destroy the world. We have to do our best in every copy. What's the point of being a half-baked person?" Yuki laughed heroically as he sniffed the disgusting stench of corpses.

"You old bastard, do you still have heroic dreams?"

"The two are not contradictory. Being insidious is just a means. Who doesn't want to be admired by thousands of people? At least this is not a gamble. We really have a chance of winning." Yuki clenched his fists and saw Denise coming out of the cracked hull. The latter spread her hands and shook her head, and he knew what the result would be.

The greatsword tied with the special-grade cursed spirit, which was already amazing.

"I dropped the hunting beacon. It has to stay away from the battlefield." The woman jumped to Yuuki's side and glanced at Johnny Silverhand. "The hunt must continue. Captain and the others are still trapped in the insect nest. They may not survive the few hours it takes to return."

The return time can only be estimated from the burning. Since the queen is not dead, she must be preparing for revenge. She can't deal with the outsiders, and she can't eat the meat at her mouth?

Before the other main force came back, the Zerg no longer had an overwhelming numerical advantage. Johnny Silverhand looked around and could only sigh.

"Alright, I'll play along, but I have to tell you in advance that we've reached our limit. If things go wrong, I'll run away immediately."

Inside and outside the hive, there are only more than a hundred psychic warriors left, and the players are exhausted. Denise's body has been distorted to a certain extent, Reiner can hardly maintain the giant state, and Aslan's Gundam has been destroyed.

The ones who held back the most were Johnny Silverhand and Yuki. The latter seemed to have anticipated this moment and had not been exerting his full strength.

"Both sides have reached their limits, so it's time for a test of will."

"The Zerg has no morale setting, they won't collapse." Johnny Silverhand reminded coldly.

"Yes, they are not afraid, but they cannot transcend the shackles of the flesh and create the so-called miracles." Yuki raised his hand and pointed to the side. Next to the wreckage of the battleship, the defense force had already assembled.

Led by the commander-in-chief, hundreds of people formed a square formation. Each of them was covered in wounds and blood. There were less than fifty psychic warriors, and the rest included marines, various staff officers, and logistics personnel.

There were silver-white machines placed in the queue. They were earthquake generators that we had seen before. If they were placed in the body of a giant insect, they would be enough to shatter it.

They were fully armed, with the same belief in their eyes:

End this damn war.

There was complete silence, but under the illumination of the burning sky, morale was through the roof. Green mist emanating from the flames lingered around them, as if thousands of dead comrades had come back to life.

Johnny Silverhand fell silent. As a warrior who had fought against the powerful and witnessed the sacrifice of his companions, he could understand this feeling. Denise also stopped smiling, as if she was recalling the past of hunting demons.

There is also Reiner and Aslan. Yuki suddenly realized that the players gathered around him are all the same kind of people.

With heavy footsteps, the commander-in-chief came to Yuki, raised his hand, and respectfully handed a walkie-talkie to the man.

"Please issue a decisive battle declaration to the entire army on the public channel."

For a moment, Yuki seemed to have surpassed the identity of a player. Johnny Silverhand and Denise seemed to realize something, but did not snatch it away. As the real commander, this was the power that Yuki of Sky Island deserved.

The highest authority, issue a declaration to the entire army. If I give orders without reason, humanity will collapse.

His breathing became heavy, and the intercom seemed like a scepter. Yuki did not refuse, but took it steadily, holding it in his hand, not knowing what to say, and many images flashed through his mind.

The warriors who self-destructed in pursuit of their mission upon entering the dungeon; the Marines who, despite being mortals, used their flesh and blood to resist the swarm of insects; and Qudus, who volunteered to serve as bait and embarked on a battle from which there was no return...

Too many sacrifices, too many corpses, and the tragic war are the themes of this copy. Yuki picked up the communicator and said only one sentence.

"I am Honorary Major of the Defense Force, Yuuki Sky Island, and I hereby declare to the entire army."

His voice rang out in every communicator, whether in the fighter planes in the sky, leaving brilliant trails, fighting with the bat dragon; or in the ears of the shivering garrison troops in the city, holding rifles and hiding in the ruins; or outside the Unfall Fortress, in the war machines that were counterattacking the hundreds of thousands of Zerg swarms.

Or in the shelter, in the ears of a fully armed disabled old man and an ignorant child.

The whole world is fighting, and faces are raised one after another, some of them are afraid, some are confused, and some are numb. They don’t know who Sky Island Yuuki is, and where the commander-in-chief has gone.

"Whichever front you're on, whether you've heard my name or not, I stand outside the hive, just feet away from the Queen."

"I'll fight for the arrows, follow me, kill the bugs, and end this damn war!"

He spoke directly from his heart without any sentimental scenes. Yuki, who was not good at talking, threw away the intercom and looked into the pairs of eyes that were almost burning with fire.

That was hatred, the deep hatred brought about by the deaths of countless comrades.

That was hope, the hope that the war would end and we could finally put down our guns and live in peace.

Yuki was like a spark that, in the simplest terms, ignited the fire of the souls of millions of people.

[Player Yuki, your human reputation has been raised to epic]

[Player Yuki, you are completing an epic achievement and can terminate it at any time]

finally come!

The whispering voice suggested that this was what Yuki was truly pursuing, but the strange thing was that under the gaze of those pairs of burning eyes, he was no longer very interested in the 'epic quest'.

His chest was burning like the sky, his spirit was more excited than ever. He threw the intercom to the ground, crushed it with one foot, drew his knife, and fought fiercely with a loud shout.

"Kill the insects! Final battle!"

Chapter 43 Where are you running to!

Kill insects! Final battle!

As the flames of anger and hope spread, burning fiercely in the "global insect plague", humans almost fell into madness, and were even more fearless of life and death than the insect swarms that did not have the word "death" in their dictionary.

On all fronts, everyone from the Marines to the retired militia launched a frantic counterattack, entangled any insect that wanted to retreat, and the killing was even more mad outside the fortress.

From Lieutenant General Mota down, including the staff of the command center, all went to the battlefield. Fighter planes roared through the sky from time to time, dropping soldiers directly onto the Zerg's retreat route. Even if they would soon be overwhelmed, it would be enough to create waves to block the Zerg tide for a second.

No matter how the queen micromanaged, her army could not escape, and the truly powerful high-level Zerg within were burned to ashes. She suddenly discovered a cruel truth:

Yuki's plan was one thing after another, and he never thought about escaping from the beginning.
