Starting with the Herrscher, mowing down enemies without equal.

However, doing something wrong is doing something wrong, and it won't change in the slightest just because you have a deep relationship. Anna was able to leave because her crimes were attributed to An Yu, without An Yu's knowledge. It's more like a toddler gaining power.

But someone has to take responsibility for this; the brief reunion is only for the sake of the eventual separation.

"Perhaps this world really needs a war."

He whispered to himself.

Unfortunately, reality didn't give him time to reflect.

boom!

The bullet, having been properly aimed, pierced through the air and penetrated layers of obstruction. Long before Qianjie could even hear the sound, it had already pierced through both of their bodies, and the dazzling spray of blood left Qianjie stunned on the spot.

Simple, yet efficient.

It wasn't that Kevin was heartless, but the memory of Wendy from the previous level was still vivid in his mind, and coupled with the previous Herrscher of Death, he was truly traumatized.

As for the warmth... once the two have finished catching up and parted ways, it's unlikely that such a zero-loss situation will occur.

Anna and An Yu both possess explosive power.

"The Fifth Honkai Impact has ended."

Kevin didn't follow up, which was a major test for him, who wasn't yet completely cold-hearted.

"But what are the Heralds betting on?"

Aponia couldn't understand it. Given the abilities that An Yu had demonstrated in previous levels, surely he must have some hidden tricks up his sleeve?

But this is a bullet from the Seven Thunders of Purification, the best work of Vilvie in her early period. How could he possibly block it?

[The Twins - Anna is critically injured and on the verge of death]

[Fun fact: The natural enemy of electromagnetic force is brute force. In fact, to put it simply, within a small area, electromagnetic force has no effect on brute force.]

[Fun fact: Death from a bullet penetrating the heart is often due to impaired heart function and the impact damaging the area surrounding the heart.]

[And the Herrscher of Ice can temporarily stop the heart from beating, causing the bullet to only inflict a penetrating wound on that small area.]

[As for how long he can live after receiving the help of his powers?]

【It’s not important.】

An Yu already knows the location of the Moth of Flames, and he is confident that he can achieve the completion condition for this level in the last moment of his life.

He gently wiped the blood from Anna's lips, and his body slowly went limp.

He extended his little finger and hooked it around Anna's somewhat weak fingers.

"An Yu..." she called out weakly.

"I'm here."

[Twin Companions - Anna Withdraws from the Battle]

The atmosphere in the passageway grew increasingly oppressive. Upon receiving the order, Kevin quickly fired a second shot, but it was blocked.

Pure, powerful ice solidified everything around it. The icy chill spread outwards from An Yu's center, this time without even avoiding Qian Jie.

"Thousands of tribulations..."

This time he did not address the deity. An Yu placed Anna's body into the ice coffin beside him, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood up.

A long, slender ice blade gradually condensed in the air. An Yu grasped it and pointed it at Qian Jie.

This is a declaration of war.

Qian Jie's aura grew increasingly violent, but his throat felt as if it were blocked by something, and he couldn't utter a single word.

As an NPC, he was never on the same page as the others, and he lacked the wisdom to understand and integrate into the atmosphere.

This stalemate continued until Ai Qilixia destroyed the frozen cage on the land, and San hurriedly rushed to the battlefield. (Part 2)

“Thousand Calamities, you retreated first. The Herrscher's condition is not right. He may be about to have a final burst of energy before death.”

Why didn't An Yu die?

Because the previous Ice Rhythm only demonstrated the ability to solidify molecules, no one would think of it as powerful. After all, Ice Rhythm doesn't really have much expressive power, does it?

"He's a hero..."

An Yu spoke softly, but surrounded by ice crystals, her voice was audible to everyone.

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the Herrscher was seriously injured, which was good news.

"Who fired the shot?"

How could I possibly tell you... but the voice came from behind me.

Volume 1: Chapter 113-112 Everyone Has a Bright Future

Alicia's heart sank. "Qianjie, I'll explain these things to you later, okay?"

This is something everyone agrees on. Indeed, the past of a thousand tribulations was sacrificed, but An Yu and Anna deserved to die. Anna destroyed half a city, and An Yu destroyed several cities after becoming a Herrscher.

"Who fired the shot?!"

Qianjie's voice was deep and muffled, carrying a hint of unyielding anger.

The only response he received was the ripples of the Void Key that quietly spread behind An Yu. A thunderous blade, imbued with a destructive aura, emerged from the imaginary space like a venomous snake, aiming straight for An Yu's back!

An Yu reached out and grasped his hand. Now Kevin knew why the Seven Thunders of Purification were no longer effective.

The powers of the Ice Law and the underlying code of the Thunder Law have always been in conflict, but with An Yu alive, only one core of the Seven Thunders of Purification remains.

"It's you again."

An Yu's voice was eerily calm, devoid of anger or resentment, only a deathly coldness. (Eight)

He didn't choose to fight; the extreme coldness spread rapidly along the soul steel of the Seven Thunders of Purification to Kevin's arm, like a leech clinging to bone. Part Two

Defeating Ice Law is simple; just use fast and strong attacks, since An Yu is just a biological entity.

We can't let this stand still.

"Kevin! Don't let go!"

The Seven Thunders of Purification cannot be given to a Lawyer! She rushed to help, Zero

But the flames behind her forced Alicia to cancel her attack once again.

"A thousand tribulations!"

To quell external threats, one must first secure internal stability. Alicia no longer hesitated. The power of Origin responded to her expectations. Although it was a little slower this time, did you really think I couldn't beat you?

It's too late, Alicia.

To preserve his fighting strength, Kevin was forced to abandon his sword. His body could not withstand such low temperatures, and the cell membranes in his body would be pierced by ice shards.

“Then I won again.” An Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The so-called Soul Steel is nothing more than a mass of nanobots condensed together in flowing metal. After being subjected to extreme cold, the blade breaks when gently bent.

An Yu swallowed the Thunder Law Core without hesitation.

This saved him a lot of trouble. At least An Yu could have a more dignified farewell, and perhaps Qian Jie wouldn't need to help her.

The impact of a damaged heart is indeed significant, but electromagnetic forces can temporarily maintain the heart's vitality.

The ripples in the void reappeared, and Kevin's sword was a step too slow again. A step too slow, always a step too slow.

"How can it be!"

A look of disbelief flashed in Kevin's eyes. This was exactly the same situation as when he was the Third Herrscher, but the Herrscher had only just swallowed the core of the Herrscher of Thunder!

Alicia followed closely behind, filling the gap in Kevin's attack.

An Yu's body hardened, and she withstood the blow. Although it would cause irreversible damage to her body, it was almost over, so who cared?

Kevin sighed, abandoning the high mobility of the Void Key. His previous dream had told him that the Herrscher of Thunder's abilities could detect imaginary space.

Qianjie slowly crawled out of the shattered ice, his anger directed at the companions who had invited him in the past.

The three powers are in a tripartite balance, with An Yu and Qian Jie temporarily forming an alliance.

"Qianjie, can I explain this to you later?" Alicia pleaded wearily.

She even felt that she had already made too many concessions this time.

Logically, An Yu should have tried to interrupt them, but he only spoke softly: "Has any of you... paid attention to the conductivity of ice?"

What does that mean? Alicia quickly recalled her high school physics knowledge: Ice and lightning don't have combination attacks, right?

"The electrical conductivity of pure ice can be considered to be zero."

An Yu's self-questioning and self-answering explanation.

What's the meaning?

This means that when fighting the Ice and Lightning Herrscher, you should never choose a small space.

Kevin instinctively swung his arms, trying to escape the battlefield using the Void Key, but the wind-up for using the Void Key seemed so long compared to the lightning.

The pure, white, and transparent ice was instantly covered by a violent and dazzling purple lightning.

Alicia's almost instinctive protection from the starry sea successfully brought the Herrscher to the brink of death. The space was small, so at worst, they would all perish together.

"Hahaha……"

Huh? You can withstand the electric current and give me a hard blow?

An Yu suddenly felt relieved. Indeed, this was a world that valued strength. Apart from a few physical properties that could be used to overcome superiors, a high level of strength meant true power, and strong numerical value meant pure strength. Not using any cunning was tantamount to courting death.

However, the next level is yet to come.

A massive amount of Honkai energy surrounded and protected the goddess. Alicia barely managed to support her body as the Herrscher finally reached out and clenched her fist.

She didn't understand what this meant, but the remnants of the Void Key beneath the Herrscher gave her a sense of unease.

Alicia staggered, trying to pierce the Herrscher's body, but failed. Even though the Herrscher was frozen, her life was rapidly slipping away, and she was nearing her end.

"To perish together?"

Alicia didn't understand the Herrscher's purpose in doing this until she saw the ice coffin beside her. Even though pure ice has almost zero conductivity, it had lost its protective barrier after the previous attack.

Ultimately, this is a real world; putting in more effort will always bridge the gap, it's just a matter of efficiency.

"I guess you could call it a win..."

When she crawled out of the intricate dungeon, the ground had lost its brilliance, and ice crystals covered the moths that chased the flame. This once prosperous city with 2000 million permanent residents seemed to have lost its vitality.

"What a joke..." she murmured absentmindedly, "The Key of Wind is meant to deal with attacks on cities, how could it have fallen to this state?"

Alicia casually killed a Honkai Beast that darted out from the side, and casually pushed open a door. Extremely cold ice spikes were intertwined in the room, and blood was flowing all over the floor, still dripping as she pushed open the door.

The sound caught in her throat. She remembered; she finally knew where that ominous feeling had come from. √…

"null……"

The Herrscher of the Void used it on the island of Great Britain. The gaze of the Void would help him aim at everything, but the Herrscher of the Void only obtained the core of the Void before his death.

Even before the Seven Thunders of Purification were initially stolen, the Herrscher's intention was clearly to escape.

She staggered to the command center.

The magnificent building has now been transformed into an ice and snow castle, its gates tightly shut, lifelike. Alicia looked at it, but she simply didn't have the strength to push it open.

She leaned against the cold wall, slowly slid down to the ground, looked up at the azure sky, and let the Honkai Beasts roam the city, as if they were also carrying out some kind of mission.

"Ruthlessness leads to efficiency... Efficiency is correct, but what about ruthlessness?"

Alicia didn't know, but with each restart and each time she chose to give up in order to take a shortcut, she seemed to have lost something.

The kindness, gentleness, and empathy she once took pride in are being eroded little by little, and her heart, like this frozen land, is gradually becoming numb.

With her primordial divine power, even in its purest form, she could withstand the previous attacks. When did she... become so weak?

"I'm so tired..." She closed her eyes, her lips tasting bitter and salty.

"If Xiaoyu were here, he would be the smartest."
