Collapse, I save everything alone

The Fire Moths later dissected and investigated the bodies of these soldiers who were about to kill Ling. It was found that when they committed this brutal act, their spirits were all stimulated by the [Discipline].

——It was actually a [commandment] that helped them to stabilize their spirits, which said [never give up hope in fighting the Honkai].

Now that the tragedy of this restriction has broken out and humanity is left with only three cities left, not everyone can maintain a good mental state.

In the Fire Moth prison, the number of mentally broken soldiers and civilians imprisoned far exceeds the number of criminals in the general sense.

Therefore, it was out of good intentions that the hero imposed the [Discipline] on the remaining soldiers to keep them alive.

However, it was this [Discipline] that magnified their fear of the Herrscher. Instead of being timid and afraid of the Herrscher's attack every day, it would be better to kill her now while she has no fighting ability.

By doing this, they will be able to eliminate another Herrscher and become heroes who save the world.

Mingyu could undoubtedly see what these soldiers were thinking from their eyes.

They believe that they are acting for a noble goal, so they do not feel any guilt.

Soon, fully armed soldiers surrounded Ling and pointed their black guns at her.

The weak girl was forced to huddle in the corner, shivering and helpless.

——Just like Rin who was surrounded by villagers and was about to have his tendons cut.

Without giving the girl any chance to speak or beg for mercy, the soldiers pulled the triggers almost at the same time.

Bullets whizzed out and pierced Ling's body from all directions.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with the sound of gunfire. The soldiers used the same methods they used to deal with the Honkai beasts, brutally shooting the weak girl.

By the time everyone had used up their bullets, the once youthful girl had been shot into a sieve, with bright red blood flowing from her body, covering the entire room.

"us……"

Looking at the unrecognizable corpse, after confirming that she was indeed dead, the soldiers cheered:

“We did it!”

"The Fire Moth has defeated another Herrscher!"

"We are heroes! We saved humanity and the world!"

"Tsk..."

Mingyu just let out a light sigh.

I don’t know if it was because Feiyumaru did it on purpose, but the pain of being pierced by the bullet was also fed back to him at the same time.

It was indeed quite painful. Although he had experienced death many times, this was the first time he was shot to death by a hail of bullets.

"Do you feel it? My pain."

Feiyukumaru's huge body emerged again and appeared behind him.

This is its past, and it can certainly be reproduced here.

“Yeah, I definitely felt it.”

Mingyu didn't do anything about it, just nodded slightly.

Feiyuwan continued to speak excitedly:

"I clearly... I clearly cooperated with them so well. I had no complaints about the physical examination or detention, but... they didn't want me to live!"

She had been very well behaved, had never done anything bad, and had let down her guard and resistance to cooperate with them, so why did she still have to suffer such unfortunate persecution?

What on earth did she do?

The sadness, pain and despair of the girl before her death were the root causes of the complete birth of the Twelfth Herrscher.

Feiyuwan turned around, stared at Mingyu fiercely, and asked:

"Tell me, what did I do wrong?"

"You didn't do anything wrong."

Mingyu replied calmly.

In fact, it's not just Ling. Even Aponia, who imposed [Discipline] on the soldiers and directly caused this tragedy, actually just did things that they thought were not wrong from their own perspective.

As for the group of soldiers who took action, it is not so much that they did anything wrong, but rather that they had already gone crazy due to the enormous pressure of survival.

There is no point in arguing about right and wrong with a bunch of lunatics.

Moreover, they had already been executed by Ling, who had transformed into a Herrscher, and met the fate they deserved.

"So, why should I be treated so unfairly?"

Feiyukumaru roared again and said:

"I want the whole world... to feel my pain!"

Its voice was so loud that even the surrounding walls were shaking faintly, and the entire space was trembling, as if reflecting its anger.

It was precisely because of this anger and hatred that it was able to resist the black box's assimilation for fifty thousand years and refuse to become a divine key.

"..."

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

He would not persuade Feiyuwan to let go of this heavy past, because it was indeed unfair to it.

So, what he can do is...

Taking a deep breath, Mingyu said to Feiyuwan in front of him:

"…I can't change your past, but I can give you a completely different future."

Chapter 81 The Birth of Higyokumaru

"……future?"

Feiyuwan was slightly startled when he heard this.

"Well, a future that is very different from your past."

Mingyu nodded.

He's gambling.

He was betting that within this consciousness mixed with Bell and Herrscher of Corrosion, not all of it was hatred.

As long as you show kindness to it, it will not immediately lay down its butcher knife and become a Buddha, but it will be touched to some extent.

He still remembered that in the original timeline, Theresa, who was pulled into the Stigmata Space by Feiyumaru, gave Feiyumaru a hug, which made Theresa temporarily let go of her hatred and returned to the black box obediently for a while.

Although the "Sakura Samsara" incident happened again later, it was enough to show that under the manic appearance of this giant fox, it was actually longing for redemption.

——She was not completely immersed in darkness and hatred, and still hoped to return to the light one day.

Well, if this method doesn't work, he plans to keep going back until he finally convinces Feiyukumaru.

He sincerely wants to help Feiyumaru get rid of his hatred and move on. At the same time, the importance of Jizo to him is self-evident.

So, this time he is determined to win.

"Why should I trust you?"

Feiyukumaru questioned in a low voice.

Ming Yu was naturally prepared for this. He said softly:

"Since you have been lurking in Sakura's body in Saint Freya for such a long time, you should also know that the attitude towards Herrschers in this era... is very different from your era."

Needless to say, it was not difficult for Mei to detect that Kiana was a Herrscher thanks to Feiyukumaru's perception ability.

And they are still living normally in St. Freya Academy.

The Herrscher lives in broad daylight, which is undoubtedly something that Feiyukumaru or Ling could never have imagined in the past.

Well, although the academy founded by Theresa was once praised by players as the "Devil's Cave of the Far East" that housed countless Herrschers, it has indeed shown Feiyukumaru another possibility now.

"..."

Feiyuwan was obviously a little shaken. After all, it knew that what Mingyu said was indeed true.

During the time it lived with Yaezakura, it actually saw with its own eyes the two Herrschers leading a normal campus life.

——This once made it a little jealous and envious.

But it still gritted its teeth and refuted:

"So what? That's your world and has nothing to do with me!"

After all, it is just a ghost from fifty thousand years ago, and now it is not even a human being.

Unlike those living humans, its final fate is to continue to be imprisoned in the black box, or to become the key of God.

Mingyu shook his head and said:

"You can also live in such a world. Here, no one will hurt you again. I can promise you that."

This really has nothing to do with whether it belongs to this era. After all, a certain fire-chasing hero is also living in the academy as a student.

If we have to talk about it, Feiyuwan, or Ling, does have some connections with Immortal Fu Hua.

"..."

Feiyuwan instinctively took two steps back.

It was not that it was afraid of Mingyu, but rather, it was afraid of the kindness expressed by Mingyu.

It has been a long time since anyone showed kindness to her.

But it still did not agree with Mingyu's statement, and continued to insist:

"No... maybe you just covet my power?"

Don't believe in human sweet talk, this is the lesson she learned from past experiences.

"I don't deny that I will need your strength in the future... but I sincerely hope that you can get rid of hatred, so..."

Mingyu waved his hand and said formally:

"Let's make a contract, Feiyuwan, don't you want to occupy my body? Then give up possessing Yaezakura and attach yourself to me."

"...?"

Feiyukumaru almost suspected that he had heard something wrong.

How could someone voluntarily ask to be possessed by the Herrscher's consciousness?

Isn't it afraid that it will erode his heart just like it eroded Yaezakura?

Seeing Feiyuwan's doubts, Mingyu smiled and said:

"I have confidence in myself. If you really want, you can try to erode my heart later."

"you……"

"I don't need your power now, and I don't need you to do anything. You can choose to rely on me and let me protect you, or you can project a real body and live with us. I will take care of you."

Mingyu continued.

It will probably take a long time before I have a complete falling out with Otto.

Before that, he did not have an urgent need to use the Ksitigarbha Soul.

It is indeed unrealistic to force Feiyumaru to let go of all his hatred and accept his fate of becoming the Key of God right now.

But as long as an agreement can be reached like this, it is also a good result. Afterwards, we will use time to test everything and let it truly feel the kindness of the people around it.

By then, everything will come naturally and smoothly.

"..."

Feiyuwan stared at Mingyu seriously with his scarlet eyes, trying to find hesitation and lies in his eyes.

But what it saw was indeed only good intentions that it almost couldn't look directly at.

After a long silence, it finally said:

"Okay, then I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."
