I'm the former civilized Yingjie

The black shadow formed a pair of wings, allowing him to fly up, and then he saw a bright light shining in front of him.

The thunder gun has arrived.

Swish—boom! !

The track composed of residual electricity still remained in the air. A mushroom cloud suddenly exploded on the mountain peak hundreds of meters away, and the entire mountaintop collapsed.

The shield composed of black shadows was mostly thin, and Adam felt that he could not replenish the consumption at all. He stood up with difficulty, his head buzzing.

How to do?

If he is at close range, he can still rely on the flexible changes in his abilities to cause damage, but the enemy cannot come at all. With his level of Honkai energy and ability characteristics, he cannot touch Ryan at a distance.

Ryan didn't give him a chance to think about countermeasures, and a frenzy of attacks followed.

Thunder.

Lightning fell from the sky and hit Adam's head, erasing his raised wings.

He was falling, and halfway down, he found that the water submerging the ground surged up like a fountain, wrapping him in the middle. The terrifying water pressure made him quickly turn into a ball.

extrusion.

Ryan looked at the black ball and thought that it was a combination of offense and defense. It was really good. It was like the water pressure of 2000 meters deep sea did not crush him. However, it also lost its ability to move, like a target in the air.

It's time for you to reincarnate, at least it's not too late now.

With his eyes locked, the purple arc formed a trajectory and then ejected the suspended body.

Purple lightning flashed!

The water ball in the air exploded immediately, and then turned into a white mist in the sky. It was caused by Ryan's rapid passing, rubbing it into water vapor, and this speed made the attack appear to have no gaps.

Adam did not dodge or even change. The lightning shot directly in front of him and hit his shoulder hard.

Rely on this speed and concentrate your strength on your shoulders——

Extremely powerful. Rely on the iron mountain!

Boom—boom! !

The white ring in the sky had just bloomed, and a mushroom cloud mixed with broken trees had exploded on the ground. An obvious hole appeared in the center of the snow forest, and then the dust in the sky was penetrated again.

Second stage acceleration.

Still so fast, without giving anyone any chance to breathe, Ryan rushed to the ground and saw the shadow in the center of the circular pit.

Those black shadows were as thin and swaying as flames. The young man in the center was hunched over, his long white hair dyed red by the blood he spat out. He raised his right hand just by instinct to concentrate the remaining energy.

Swah——

The thin and long jet-black blade slashed down, then paused on the top of the visitor's head.

Ryan raised his left hand, as if holding an invisible shield, letting the knife stay above his head, leaning forward, and pointing the knife's right hand forward, piercing it hard into the young man's thin chest, and the splattered blood was stained red. his body.

"Any last words?"

Everything froze, and there was no sound anymore. Adam slowly lowered his head and stared at the killing machine.

Decisive, capable, no sloppiness, and crushing all conspiracies with strength is the nemesis of his ability.

The vitality was dissipating rapidly, and he opened his mouth. The remaining humanity filled his heart, leaving him not knowing what to say. He only followed his instincts and was filled with hatred.

"Humanity...will be wiped out."

Ryan's expression didn't change at all, but he felt the despair and strong hatred. His experience made him inevitably go on this path. At least compared to those corpses, he still had the power of revenge.

"I understand you."

Ryan nodded imperceptibly, without any sarcasm, and clenched the knife that penetrated his body into a fist.

Following the mournful cry of a thousand birds, the thunder roared and annihilated his entire body. Looking at the dull head that was gradually erased, Ryan said another word.

"I killed you because of my position, but I will erase those sins for you and send them to death soon."

There was obvious shock and confusion on Adam's face, and he couldn't figure out why this human guardian wanted to help him.

He disappeared in the lightning, his lips moved twice silently, and then he was completely annihilated.

There was no longer any Herrscher in front of him, only a messy forest. He stood there for a while and let out a long sigh of relief.

I didn’t expect that one day, I would be thanked by Honkai’s minions. This world——

Really fucked up.

Chapter 172 The Herrscher, the Beast, and the Human Heart

Adam is not like the Herrscher of Corrosion. He does not need a real body and can hide in authority. When he is swallowed by lightning, he is truly dead, and even the remaining black shadow disappears into the air.

But Ryan didn't have much of a sense of victory or joy, and the trip to the snowfield couldn't be called pleasant in any way. He could also outline the life of this pseudo-herseller.

He tasted the deepest darkness in the world in a place called 'Paradise'. Ryan didn't even think about what happened inside because it was too disgusting. Then he was taken to this secret laboratory and tortured by human experiments.

Perhaps because there was a Herrscher in Paradise, or perhaps because of his extraordinary talent, he survived the experiment and became an aggregate of Honkai energy, which is an existence that mimics the Herrscher.

It can be seen from later generations that this is the best carrier for the Herrscher, which is equivalent to actively preparing materials for Honkai Impact. However, for some reasons, he did not get the core to become a real Herrscher, and thus became a strange existence.

If it were in the post-civilization era, there would still be a chance to save him, but in this pre-civilization era, his humanity would only continue to drain away, and he would eventually turn positive.

So I can only kill him.

Ryan looked around, but could not find the core of the Herrscher, which confirmed his hypothesis. The combination of faint melancholy and fatigue made him feel very bad.

'This time, I have gone deep into the dark side of the world. '

The trip to the snowfield made Ryan a little tired. He once again saw the evil of human beings. If his will was not firm, he would even have a sense of identity. Fortunately, he was already past the age of second grade, and he was not an innocent flower in the greenhouse.

Where there is good, there must be evil. There is the order of Lundium, and there is the chaos of Snow Prison Town. But you must know that the world is not black and white, and some people must be distinguished from humans.

"Some things are beyond the control of power. Evil will never end. There are materials everywhere to become a Herrscher, and there is no shortage of bastards seeking death. Compared with them, killing Honkaiju makes people feel more at ease. .”

Ryan sighed. This kind of thing really makes people feel powerless. A large part of pre-civilization was trying to kill themselves.

After being hesitant for a moment, he became pure and firm again. As long as he maintained his 'true self', these things could provide strength.

"Again, there are certain things that are within the power's control that I can do."

Ryan turned around decisively and took out his phone.

"Mei, the matter is settled, help me check one thing."

"You said it." Mei hesitated for a moment. She was a little surprised that Ryan's tone didn't seem to be filled with joy after winning the battle.

"It should not be difficult to find out who built the 'Paradise' and who participated in it. Apart from the founder, it shouldn't be difficult to find out the rest."

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time. With Mei's intelligence, she had already guessed the reason. The Herrscher Mimetic must have something to do with it. It was no coincidence that she was sent to Northern Europe thousands of kilometers away.

"Do you want to follow the clues, or do you want to be a partner of justice?"

"I want to."

Hearing this answer, Mei tensed up her muscles, then relaxed in an instant. "Should the world be saved?" has always been a philosophical proposition. When people look at the darkness, they will be swallowed up by the darkness sooner or later.

"Oh, at least you're not on the other side, Ryan. The authority you show has always worried me, because I'm afraid you'll be irritated."

"Of course there is excitement, but I'm not going to change my outlook. Don't treat me like a child."

"Ryan, you're only 20 years old."

"But I live more clearly than those who are dying."

After the third silence, Mei showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile, and even had a sense of control, telling Ryan to stay still and stop running around. There are too many things in the world today that are enough to shatter people's outlook on life.

But she didn't say it out loud, thinking that such thoughts were insulting to Ryan.

That man is a killing machine. He seems indifferent, but he is used to seeing both bad things and good things. He is full of the most complex human nature, and he maintains his true self in this stormy sea.

"Okay, I'll check it for you. Do whatever you need to do quickly, and then come back for an important meeting."

"What meeting?"

"The key to God has produced results."

Ryan, who was walking back to Snow Prison Town, paused and finally felt a little happy.

"Okay, that's it."

He hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. This way, mankind had another trump card, and he also had the opportunity to see that magical weapon.

Come back quickly.

Ryan muttered, kicked open the door, and returned to the satellite room. The people here either became the prophecy of the Herrscher, or were frightened by the aftermath of the battle and ran away. There was not a single person in the entire town. .

He went to the deepest secret room, which he had discovered the last time he came to negotiate. The blast door was torn apart by lightning, and the room was filled with arms, food, and gold.

But he didn't even bother to take a look. He walked behind the large desk and fumbled for a while, and found a list of dignitaries who came to experience the special tourism in Xueyu Town.

Ryan muttered to himself as he flipped through the pages numbly.

"I have understood the ability of the Herrscher-like, and it is indeed a degraded product. It cannot be fully mastered like the real Herrscher. Then I learned to strengthen it, and it is similar to the previous Honkaimon."

Under the light, Ryan's shadow changed like flowing water, turning into a thin and long blade, splitting the safe in two, cutting through the thick alloy without any lag.

"Is that all that can be used? There is no way to continuously decompose, spread and erode people like him, turning people into puppets, let alone complete replacement and memory reading."

He sighed and figured that in battle, he could use change and concealment to trick people, which could also be considered as a combination of offense and defense.

The ability still has some effect, at least it can be the last line of defense. Adam has resisted many full-force attacks with this thing.

"The biggest gain is that Honkai Impact has finally reached 2000HW, completely crossing the boundaries of Herrscher."

Ryan paused while flipping the book, looked at the VIP customers on the list, and showed a cruel smile.

"Then let's do some Herrscher stuff."

He put away the roster, cut open the wall, and returned to the sunshine. The wind and snow stopped without knowing when, and he was quietly calm.

Ryan has no intention of being a savior. He cannot make everyone live happily with his strength alone, nor can he bring countless similar small towns back to their former glory.

But he is neither arrogant nor cold.

You can't eradicate evil, but you can make people pay the price, the price they deserve, within reach.

Ryan took a step and disappeared directly from this dead town.

This is the authority that comes with power.

......

The short battle changed the weather, but in the evening, the wind and snow began to howl again, as if the laws of nature would be affected by people, but as time passed, they still did what they should do.

The terrain within a radius of dozens of miles has also been changed by the battle, especially in the center of the town more than ten kilometers away, a whole grove of cedars disappeared without a trace, and the mountains turned into deep pits, leaving only some ruins.

Hey.

A man wearing a double-breasted trench coat fell among the ruins, holding a cane, like a British gentleman strolling through this purest scene of destruction.

There was nothing, the surface collapsed, completely burying the underground research institute, and there was still a strong aura of Honkai in the air.

"It's him."

The Herrscher of Ice stopped and made a quick judgment. There was no change in his handsome face. He was neither thankful nor angry that his kind had died at his hands. He just frowned deeply.

With two powers, the threat has increased sharply, and the possibility of leading mankind to victory has increased by several percentage points. However -

There is no way to take him.

The collapse is becoming more and more violent, but it is a gradual process. For some reason, directly falling to the end will make everything meaningless.

Studying, thinking, planning and even group fights have no effect. The human being is gradually expanding. The Ice Herrscher has no doubt that if he encounters it, he will be punished.

What's even more ironic is that humans have more and more fusion warriors. Judging from the comparison of strength alone, they are far ahead, even exceeding the Herrscher strength that can be reduced in the current season.

Some kind of emergency mechanism is automatically unfolding, constantly adjusting according to the feedback from the world, and the Herrscher of Ice on the snowfield has the answer.

He looked at the ruins of the research institute and realized that everything in the world was the source of collapse.

Like a law, like a beast, like a human heart.

He gently raised his chin, and a voice seemed to echo between heaven and earth:

"It's so full of loopholes, human being."
