Starting with the Herrscher, mowing down enemies without equal.

“Miss Wilvi… that behemoth was merely a monster created by the Herrscher in just a few minutes.”

Someone spoke up to explain, trying to calm her anger.

"And the monsters created within minutes were already able to overpower Alicia."

Velvi was so angry she laughed: "Who told you that a giant beast could overpower Alicia?"

She found the surveillance footage nearby and immediately rewound a few minutes: "If Alicia hadn't been trying to protect the city, she would have already won, understand?"

"But she lost because she wanted to protect the city."

I don't know who it was, but they mentioned it tentatively.

I***!

Vilvi could no longer hold back and swore. She rubbed her temples hard, laughing in anger.

"Furthermore, what if the Herrscher creates a second behemoth?"

Nobody dares to gamble on it; what if the Herrscher has the ability to create a second colossal beast?

For a moment, Wilvi didn't know what to say. Looking at so many people around her, she suddenly realized something: times had really changed.

These guys would never have been so foolish in the past, but they really don't understand Honkai and can only make normal judgments based on ordinary warfare.

But what they didn't know was that it was precisely because of that special rank, with characteristics completely opposite to Alicia's, that this Honkai Beast evolved so rapidly.

Tell me, who is he weakening by creating a second Honkai Beast? Is he weakening Alicia, who has already found herself and can do whatever she wants with him?

What gives An Yu the right?

"They're still alive."

Aponia spoke softly.

The surveillance footage had been updated sometime earlier, and a slender arm gradually emerged from the shattered street. It wasn't Alicia, but Blackie.

The body of the Great Free Heaven was torn to pieces, but it protected the two people beneath it. An Yu also shielded Hei Xi from another layer of damage.

Hei Xi then helped An Yu up and quickly began repairing her body.

Volume 1: Chapter 126-125 Who said fading is bad?

An Yu's expression showed a moment of bewilderment. After all, neither the boss's IP nor his previous experiences in the levels had made him realize that humans possessed such weapons.

I was caught off guard by this sudden trick and didn't realize what was happening. I almost forgot that you guys aren't NPCs, are you?

He sighed, and during a brief pause in Hei Xi's breathing, he came to the side, the black mist corroding the ice surface, and barely managed to grasp the small hand that could still move slightly.

A few seconds later, accompanied by a faint cracking sound, Alicia finally broke free of her restraints, breathing in the cold air, her face flushed.

"You chose the wrong person."

An Yu's voice was calm. He didn't expose Alicia. Without the protection of the Herrscher of Death's power, Alicia's current condition was already very bad after taking this hit head-on.

Before, the icy fog obscured his vision, but now he could clearly see the gruesome wounds and frozen bloodstains beneath her tattered clothes... He didn't intend to get her out completely; what if she had nightmares that night?

I dreamt that my older sister was covered in blood, choking me, and kept muttering, "You can't escape, you can't escape..."

After an unknown amount of time, Alicia's voice was weak: "They...don't know the specifics either..."

"That's your dereliction of duty. The management made a poor arrangement. After all, why would you assign a few people who don't understand Honkai to command a battlefield in Honkai? Because they have extensive experience."

An Yu sat down on the spot, wiping the blood off her face. Alicia, standing next to her, barely managed to peek out with her head covered in blood as well.

He paused, then turned his head to look at those bloodshot, starry eyes: "Hey, Alicia, you lost."

Alicia didn't answer. She still didn't understand where An Yu got her genetic blueprint from.

She originally thought that even if she failed this time, at least she could gain enough experience due to her unique circumstances.

Her voice gradually became less audible: "Finally... can you tell me what areas I... did not do well?"

An Yu glanced at her; this was Alicia from her dream.

In reality, when he and his older sister were racing and he was thrown off balance, she was already writhing in pain. Even when she was almost fully recovered in the hospital, she was still whimpering and crying all the time.

"There are too few talented people and too few companions, that's all."

Although social progress is very difficult, Alicia is strong. Even before she was born, a bunch of old people were already holding onto proverbs and fantasizing about a goddess descending to earth.

Her starting conditions were much simpler, but she seemed to like taking on everything herself. Obviously, Alicia wasn't a god and didn't have that ability.

"You always talk about working from the bottom up. You've made others bleed and made them eat bread, but it seems like you've stopped there. In the last cycle of reincarnation, Qian Jie knew to wait for others to make decisions, but you're nagging like an old woman."

An Yu casually summarized until a sword blade pierced his heart without warning.

"You want to kill me, huh...?"

An Yu looked down at the sword tip protruding from his body, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger. He gripped the blade with his other hand and slowly pulled it out. The wound healed almost instantly, leaving not a single scar.

"I'll boost your damage output so you don't have to go out and find out your rating isn't as high as Kevin's."

The deceased appeared to be in relatively good spirits.

[But the deceased's partner was in a very bad mood.]

[But it doesn't matter anymore. With Alicia's complete death, An Yu, who can now be called a necromancer, is invincible.]

Who says fading is bad?

I think this blue-purple color is really nice!

Just

Why did it fade?

An Yu poked Alicia's cheek. The girl blinked, her eyes as bright and beautiful as ever, her voice ethereal:

"Are we... on a date?"

She murmured softly, and collapse followed her like a shadow.

Blackie, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, never expecting that the wicked woman, Alice, and Shia, would be so evil even after their deaths.

"No, and I won't go on a date with you."

"Hmm, how heartless."

The purple-clad, faded fairy lady had a melancholy look in her eyes, tinged with a touch of lilac-like sorrow.

Hei Xi stood between the two, realizing that it was her inaction and her concession that had completely ruined this beautiful life.

Anyway, she wouldn't believe Alicia.

"Get ready, and see what kind of counterattack humanity will mount now, with your help."

An Yu sat atop the Great Free Heaven, while the faded Alicia stood gracefully, watching the busy ants in the distance, trying to swarm and wipe out the remaining humans.

"Why not just destroy their hopes?" Faded Alice pursed her lips, not quite understanding An Yu's line of thinking.

"Look at the results of your hard work."

An Yu's reply was understated and nothing more.

Humanity's combat strength has been greatly weakened, even falling short of its strength during the Herrscher of Ice era.

[Alicia's first search for the boundary between dreams and reality resulted in a location so fantastical that she couldn't see the path beneath her feet, causing human civilization to stumble and fall.]

[Kevin was on the verge of death, and after much persuasion, Qianjie finally calmed down.]

No one knows what the Herrscher is waiting for, but Alicia's current faded appearance leaves many without a glimmer of hope.

But in order for everyone to have bread and milk to eat now, the machine of civilization is still barely running.

Although many people were sacrificed, most of them came from extremely wealthy families and had enjoyed benefits for decades or even centuries. Now, they were even less willing to die.

The ultimate variable isn't Kevin, it's Qian Jie.

He suddenly remembered the lies Alicia had told him this time.

[It's a bit retro, but Alicia says, "Thousand Calamities, I'll help you save this village. In return, you must one day become one of my 'calamity materials,' to be used by her."]

[It was a fair deal at the time, but Alicia never fulfilled the contract.]

Yes, if the progress of civilization is inevitably accompanied by sin, then someone must bear the burden of that sin.

Alicia was too foolish. She thought she could bear both hope and sin, but in the end, hope wasn't so bright, and sin was tinged with gentleness; the two were mixed together, and she protected neither.

"Is this what you think?"

Kevin was astonished. "Is this the kind of thinking a roughneck like you would come up with?"

Just like in the previous level, when Qianjie insisted on waiting for the little girl to make her own decision, Kevin was shocked once again.

"Qian Jie, tell me, have you been possessed?"

"Idiot, I told you to find someone who can inherit Alicia's mantle."

He will fulfill the contract, bear the sin, and throw all those unsuitable for boarding the new Noah's Ark into the sea.

As for how to strike that balance?

Qianjie Er didn't know, just like what Ai Lixi Lingya did in the past, there always had to be five people feeling their way across the river.

Are you sure we still have time?

Mei hesitated. The idea was good, but with human civilization on the verge of collapse, there was no time to think about such things.

"No!" Kevin suddenly realized!

"Qianjie, you're right!"

He gripped Qianjie's hand tightly: "I will definitely carry on your last wish and turn this world into the place we long for!"

Of course, not this time.

Volume 1: Chapter 127, Section 126: Kevin: I just want to win this once!

An Yu didn't notice how much time had passed; he was playing the game at double speed, watching human civilization constantly change.

There seemed to have been bloodshed and many disturbances along the way, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

Until that day, Kevin, radiating a chilling aura, stood in front of him, wielding a massive ice crystal greatsword.

"What about Qianjie?" An Yu asked casually.

“He has more important things to do,” Kevin replied curtly and coldly.

An Yu was about to continue asking questions when Kevin suddenly swung his heavy sword, each swing accompanied by a dull whistling sound. His moves were wide and powerful, carrying immense force.

After a brief clash with the opponent's sword, An Yu felt a numbness in her hand and a soreness throughout her entire arm.

"Tsk, what monstrous stats."

His idea of ​​a fair fight vanished instantly.

"Roar—!" The Great Free Heaven roared as it stepped forward, using its hard bone armor and sharp claws to block the heavy sword strike.

The icy blade was deeply embedded in the Honkai Beast's flesh, penetrating several meters, before Kevin forcefully pulled it out, bringing with it a spray of dark purple flesh. For the Great Free Heaven's size, it was of no consequence. (Noon)

"Alicia, I'll listen to you one more time. Is this me?"

Kevin let out a long breath, his bone wings unfurling behind him—a scene completely contrary to dynamic aesthetics, yet it made the cold man appear exceptionally powerful.

An Yu was momentarily flustered. "Wait, buddy, how come you suddenly got stronger, just like Alicia from the third level?"

"Now, the Sword of Savior!"

Kevin unleashed another powerful and overwhelming mountain-splitting strike, his ice crystal greatsword slashing down with an oppressive force!

An Yu's expression was complex as an arrow slashed from the side, shattering the greatsword. 4

The Faded Fairy smiled and said, "Were you talking to me just now?"

An Yu still didn't understand what kind of surgery Kevin was undergoing to enhance his body. He hadn't come across any related information when he was gathering intelligence.

"It seems that some things will only be revealed over time."

Before An Yu could continue to lament, the greatsword condensed again, its blade grazing An Yu's cheek. He only had two or three chances before Alicia arrived.

Even in order to counter the opponent's healing ability, he chose the ice ability to imprison and deliver a fatal blow, rather than to wear them down.

boom!

Just then, a completely different gunshot rang out from another direction!

"Seven Thunderbolts of Purification - First Rated Power!"
