Starting with the Herrscher, mowing down enemies without equal.

"Then let's try it."

Alicia had always had faith in humanity, but this time she was starting to lose that faith.

In a sense, Alicia, you've already lost the first agreement.

This time, she started cheating, her reputation worsened, and she completely disregarded what others thought of her.

She didn't think she was wrong. If she couldn't get past this, how would she get past Ling? Besides, An Yu was so cooperative this time.

She often came to the deepest part, the place used to imprison prisoners.

An Yu remained calm, her piano playing melodious, and she even took the initiative to help Alicia soothe the emotions of the others.

Alicia initially thought she had it in the bag, just like their initial agreement.

[Temporarily bound to a familiar, Blackie, critically injured and on the verge of death]

Alicia, you not only lost the second promise, but you also lost the first one. Humanity has ultimately failed to become what it hoped for.

"Confirm binding".

[Family Member - Blackie, currently recovering] Part 4

Alicia was late today; she was probably out trying to stop that newly born member of the Deathly Clan.

Lawyer: An Yu Liu

Level: 7

Skills: Twin Familiars, Echo, Death and Life, Overload

Attribute: Vitality 1

【Death and Life】: Accelerating the decay of things, or repairing life, replacing the soul (ps. Soul replacement is the content of the last chapter of the Chronicles of Eternal Memories, and turning skyscrapers into dust is content of the second Honkai Impact 3rd manga.) Scar

[Vitality 1]: Increases total maximum health by 20% (Mio)

Family: Black Hermit

The level isn't high; most of it is experience points gained by Alicia when she couldn't control her power and was searching for herself—around 3300 points.

Black mist began to permeate the deepest parts, but the broken alarms remained silent.

As things decay, all non-natural existences return to their most primitive form, which is dust.

"vitality."

The Herrscher of Death never needs to worry about her attacks failing; the all-corrosive black mist will continuously reduce the maximum health of everyone around her.

For ordinary people, there's no need to accelerate cell decay; they will age rapidly and turn to dust within the black mist.

An Yu stepped out of the deepest part of the city, where the entire city was shrouded in black fog. He stretched out his hand.

A flash of lightning streaked past, and he instinctively stepped back.

"You still let Alicia down."

Kevin held aloft the Seven Thunders of Purification, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. Even he could not completely ignore the loss of life.

This time it wasn't just a little bit short. An Yu turned slightly to the side, Honkai energy condensing in her hand, wrapped in black mist, carrying a hint of erosion.

Sword Shadow easily withstood the Seven Thunders of Purification; this guy is a close-quarters fighter, the top-ranked Double Flower Red Stick of Anti-Entropy.

"Do you really think I'm useless without scheming and intrigue?"

In the past, An Yu often fought two or three opponents at once, and it was no big deal to use some tricks. Not to mention there was also the numerical monster, Alicia.

The Seven Thunderclaps of Purification suddenly roared, and a flash of lightning streaked past. An Yu performed an extreme backward leaning back bridge, barely avoiding this fatal blow.

When his first attack missed, Kevin changed tactics. Although he couldn't unleash the highest power continuously, the Seven Thunders of Purification itself possessed extraordinary sharpness.

"You couldn't hit anyone when Lei Lu was alive, so you don't expect to be able to hit anyone now that he's dead, do you?"

Swords flashed, and An Yu blocked the blade once again.

Taking advantage of An Yu's momentary lapse in balance, the Seven Thunders of Purification erupted once more, swiftly slicing through the Herrscher's heart.

An Yu gave a vague indication, but didn't really try to dodge.

"I'll give you some damage, so I don't have to go out and find that your damage is zero."

Kevin watched as the wounds that An Yu had painstakingly inflicted were instantly healed, and even if he managed to cut off one of her arms, it would be rapidly restored in just two or three seconds.

If he continues to delay, his health will suffer.

“If we continue fighting normally, I will definitely lose. An Yu will never give me a chance to kill her in one blow.”

Therefore, all we can do is gamble all our hopes on the next strike, or hope that Qianjie will come soon... but Qianjie's attacks may not be as effective as Anyu's healing.

Speaking of

"Why do I always have to be the one to call An Yu?!" Kevin roared to the sky.

"Seven Thunders to Cleanse Sins - First Rated Power".

Kevin gripped the Seven Thunders of Purification tightly, his muscles groaning, his breathing heavier than ever before.

The next moment, its sharp edge was revealed!

The sword energy, which should not exist in reality, far exceeded the speed and power of the previous sword swings, and the power was not excessive at all.

"Win, win?"

Kevin sat on the ground, trembling all over. The Herrscher of Death's domain made his entire body groan.

"You really have a lot of potential."

The sudden sound made his heart stop, but after a moment he felt somewhat relieved.

You stupid dog, Alicia, next time you can control the direction of technology, you'll be like this?? Next time I don't do the fusion warrior surgery, I'll be like this??

The path of civilization is inherently about finding the perfect balance between dreams and reality. Clearly, the balance Alicia found is far removed from the reality of achieving victory.

"That sword strike was quite good."

An Yu's body quickly reassembled. In the story, Xilin could recover her damaged body in two or three seconds, so there's no reason why he should be worse than Xilin.

It is said that in times of crisis, unprecedented power can always be unleashed. In shonen manga, this is usually referred to as the protagonist.

"To answer your initial question, I've already been very accommodating to Alicia."

Though late, he arrived. The clamor of the approaching Thousand Tribulations made An Yu pause for a moment. He rationally chose to retreat. As for Kevin? Let the humans have him. Anyway, his cells are almost completely decayed.

He had to go check on Hei Xi, after all, they were good buddies in real life, and this kid really knew how to kick down the door.

Volume 1: Chapter 125-124 The Great Free Heaven

"I will grow, I will improve, I will strive to find, and then, I will make this world the way everyone expects it to be."

Alicia's voice was clear and firm, but her hands moved without hesitation—the pink crystal longbow was already raised, and the bowstring was filled with a heart-pounding energy.

A pure vortex of starlight swept away and devoured the black mist that permeated the city. Although Alicia felt guilty, she would not show any mercy.

It's only because the Herrscher of Death has high HP regeneration; otherwise, if it were any other Herrscher familiar, Alicia would have been killed in one combo long ago.

However, at this very moment when the outcome was about to be decided—

"Roar--!!!"

A deafening roar ripped through the sky. A massive shadow suddenly descended, the beast's claws slammed to the ground, and the entire block trembled violently.

The behemoth was covered in bone armor that shimmered with an eerie light. Countless flawless crystals grew like thorns on both sides of its bones, emanating an aura of destruction that was the same as that of Alicia but filled with violence.

"You lost, Alicia."

An Yu sat atop the giant beast's head, and the chains formed from Honkai energy easily swept up Hei Xi from the ground and tossed her onto the beast's head.

Alicia looked up in a daze. What was this thing?

After a moment, she shook her head, no longer hesitating: "I don't deny it, maybe I'm too idealistic."

Alicia raised her flawless crystal longbow high once more. The bright and charming girl had made up her mind since she shed her previous cute and innocent appearance.

Personal feelings versus the greater good, her choice will not change.

"The progress of civilization requires sacrifice, and this sin cannot be explained in just a few words, but humanity should not evade this sin."

As the bowstring was drawn to its fullest extent, the primordial power that had been separated and difficult to control returned like a tide, and a resolute glint flashed in Alicia's eyes.

"Humanity will suffer the pain brought about by evolution, will face history squarely, and will gradually reduce this pain based on existing knowledge. I'm sorry, An Yu."

A pure arrow, released from its bow, pierces the sky, containing the power to purify all things.

However, this fully charged power was neutralized by the same roar of the behemoth. The elements soaked and assimilated each other, and even because Alicia had let go, the flawless elements were completely assimilated in an instant.

"What on earth is this?"

Alice Qiya lightly touched the ground with her toes and quickly leaped backward, arriving at a street lamp in the distance that had not yet been corroded, barely avoiding the aftershocks of the energy.

An Yu said calmly, "A Honkai Beast created using your genetic blueprint."

Alicia:?

“I call her Black Alicia, but it’s the same name as yours, so it sounds a bit awkward.”

Alicia: ?

"Therefore I now call him: Mahasthamaprapta."

Alicia: ? ? ?

"It's probably the only end-of-life Honkai Beast at present."

How did they do that? The Herrscher of Death's powers are just a tiny fraction, like a tranquil gem that can easily clone itself given a blueprint.

Blame Alicia for letting An Yu realize that Origin also has a primal, original side.

As for the soul?

The Herrscher of Death has always had the ability to replace souls, but the monsters created by An Yu are not bright and beautiful girls. This is probably due to the difference in their souls.

“An Yu…”

Hei Xi showed no sign of grievance, but after grasping An Yu's fingertips, she looked at Alicia with hatred.

She lacked the resolve to sacrifice herself for humanity, but Alicia did. If you had that resolve, why did you even enter their lives in the first place?

She may not seem well-behaved, but in reality, Hei Xi is a good girl. She is always so sensible and doesn't bother Alicia and An Yu.

An Yu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it was my oversight that I forgot you would suffer some undeserved misfortune because of me."

He had indeed forgotten about Hei Xi; after all, Hei Xi had seemed quite wronged throughout the entire incident. 9

"It's okay, it's good that you got out."

After healing his wounds, Hei Xi sat down beside An Yu. The resentment in his eyes melted away like spring snow. As always, he sat next to the boy, his eyes filled with nothing but the other person.

Unlike the two who were relatively relaxed, Alicia was stunned by her own corrupted form. At the same level, her opponent only needed to think about how to cause destruction, while she had to think much more.

What frustrated her most was that there were healers in the Great Free Heaven, pure and simple healers who could restore a man's body to full health in just two or three seconds.

Where is Kevin? Where is Kevin, humanity's savior?

[What about the Seven Thunders for Purification?]

What about the Fifth Divine Key's ability to freeze everything?

[Keep watching the show, Alicia's about to be sent!]

This protracted battle finally came to an end with the Fifth Divine Key, where humanity used technology to aid the Honkai, achieving a transcendent freezing of all things.

Everything, frozen in that previous moment due to molecular stagnation, yet clearly exhibited separation, solidification, and fragmentation; this region became so crystalline.

"Won?"

It was that familiar line again. Aponia suddenly sighed. She didn't know why, but as soon as she heard "win," she felt like she was going to lose.

Before she could compose herself, Wilvi kicked the door open.

She suppressed her anger: "Who gave you permission to use the Fifth Divine Key? Alicia hasn't been withdrawn yet."
