Chat group, swap bodies with Alicia at the beginning?

He hasn't used this thing since the fourth collapse.

After all, if we keep entering the country illegally like that, it will be troublesome for MEI, and there is no such emergency on weekdays that we need this thing to travel quickly.

And other bodies cannot control this big guy.

But now...

Compared to an airplane that would disintegrate on a physical level, this emperor-level Honkai beast is obviously more resistant in this environment.

"So this is what it feels like to ride this big guy." Alicia stepped on the somewhat smooth back of the Spirit of Origin, feeling somewhat novel and excited.

To be honest, this wasn't the first time she had seen this, but she had never done it once.

I didn’t have any idea before... Now, it feels so good to fly!

Unfortunately, this seems to require the power of origin to use, and only bad Jiang Qiao can use it! Humph!

Forget it, I’ll just ask Bad Jiang Qiao to take me for a ride later.

Thinking of this, Alicia returned to reality and asked:

"What happened?"

"It is the Ruler of Death."

The slender jade feet stepped on the head of the Spirit of Origin, and the mysterious purple eyes of 'Alicea' looked at the outline in the distance, and her sweet words were extremely firm.

And the next moment, he gently raised his hand - under the fluctuation of an invisible force, the surrounding environment gradually changed.

"Fog...black fog...so much fog!" Fairy Ellie lay on the edge of the Spirit of Origin and looked around. Outside a circle of protective shield centered on the Spirit of Origin, she could see thin ominous black fog floating.

It's everywhere on the sea, but fortunately it's relatively thin.

"Is it the fog that's causing the trouble?"

"Ah."

Jiang Qiao nodded - although it was somewhat different from the black mist produced by the Serenity Gem and the Black Abyss White Flower, this effect was undoubtedly the Withering Power of the Herrscher of Death.

However, the Withering Power of the Herrscher of Death is normally limited to organic life forms and has little effect on inorganic life forms.

Of course, there are exceptions - such as Hato.

There is no doubt that part of the power wrapped around her comes from this authority. As a template, Cecilia has held the Black Abyss White Flower for too long, and as a result, it was affected during the construction. Under the influence of that ability, not only will the Honkai beast die, but even the machinery that approaches it will be directly scrapped.

Maybe it is indeed because the Honkai energy is too huge, but based on Jiang Qiao's experience as the Herrscher of the Origin - it is impossible for normal life to achieve this effect without connecting to an imaginary singularity.

The girl raised her hand and gently touched a piece of black mist, and the next moment, it gradually became transparent.

Perhaps in order to hide its traces, or for other reasons, this withering authority can hide its traces to a certain extent and blend into the air. Without special means, it would be impossible to observe.

This extremely dangerous force for humans has undoubtedly made the direction of Star City a forbidden area for life.

With the Origin Spirit galloping at full speed, they soon reached the shore.

It can be seen that the black fog on the shore is thicker than that in the sea.

Jiang Qiao could also feel that the consumption of Honkai energy had become more intense.

He seemed to have already seen through the effect of the authority of the Ruler of Death.

——Epidemic.

This is also one of the manifestations of collapse.

For example, the Black Death that occurred in the Middle Ages in the future, in the worldview of Honkai, that is Honkai as a manifestation of the epidemic.

What was originally supposed to be a simple and crude form of great collapse followed by the birth of the Herrscher, was forced by Jiang Qiao, the Herrscher who was keen on blocking the door, and Jian resorted to this softer "collapse method".

These dying "viruses" would absorb the collapse energy and then accelerate the lifespan of inorganic and even organic matter - and therefore, Jiang Qiao could see at a glance the extremely abnormal environment of the Star City buildings.

Even if the maintenance is poor, it is impossible that the car signs on the street are all rusty and the stones are also severely worn.

It is for this reason that this place has the abnormal situation of "it is obviously the outbreak site of the Great Collapse, but the Collapse energy is not abundant, but seems to be too poor."

"You really know how to prescribe the right medicine for the right disease."

Feeling the rapid depletion of Honkai energy, Jiang Qiao sighed.

The Herrscher of Life and Death that appeared this time was similar to the Herrscher of Discipline that would appear later. They were both specifically targeting those who used Honkai energy as their main energy source.

The Herrscher of Discipline will directly silence the Honkai energy, and counter-actual life and kinetic energy, causing extremely fatal damage to life.

The destructive power of the Herrscher of Life and Death is different from the original one that can kill millions of people in an instant - the direct killing power is not that high, but it will accelerate the "lifespan" of human bodies and buildings, allowing them to experience the feeling of life coming to an end and "withering" in a short period of time.

It is not a withering in an instant, but a withering from the moment the flower blooms to the moment it withers.

Moreover, this thing is extremely targeted at the Origin Herrscher.

Because the Herrscher of Origin is the one who has the greatest demand for Honkai energy besides the Herrscher of the End. Compared to the specific powers of other Herrschers, the conventional means of the power of Origin require the consumption of a large amount of Honkai energy.

But the Herrscher of Origin is not the same as a normal Herrscher. She is not the type that can recover mana infinitely from the 'imaginary singularity' like a normal Herrscher. The mana bank of the Herrscher of Origin is the Origin Space - of course, this is only the small part.

What really determines the strength of the Herrscher of Origin is his control over Honkai energy, which allows him to directly use the Honkai energy within the entire Honkai range without the need for an absorption process like other Herrschers.

However, once there is very little Honkai energy in an area - theoretically this is impossible to happen. After all, the Great Honkai Impact will definitely be accompanied by a large amount of Honkai energy. This is the basic logic of the Great Honkai Impact.

But it has indeed happened now. Cocoon created a Herrscher who can "instantly convert Honkai energy", making the Great Honkai site that was supposed to be the home ground of the Herrscher of the Origin become extremely unfavorable to the Herrscher of the Origin.

Not only is there no Honkai energy, but in order to act normally and not be affected by it, one must consume double the Honkai energy to maintain the Origin Protection to resist the erosion of the black fog - and the black fog will become even more after eroding the Origin Protection.

For the Herrscher of Origin, whose Honkai energy is the lowest among all the Herrschers, Jiang Qiao cannot even activate his power when he has no external support and only wants to rely on the Honkai energy obtained from the Origin Space to act and fight.

After all, the use of all Honkai authority must be based on sufficient Honkai energy.

"What's the right remedy?"

"Nothing." Jiang Qiao, who had already analyzed the effect of the black fog and that the Herrscher of Death specifically targeted the Herrscher of Origin, shook his head helplessly in the face of Alicia's doubts.

...Luckily I came here by myself, if it was Alicia who came here alone...

Well, it’s nothing. With Alicia’s wisdom, at least she would call me if she found something wrong.

"Humph!"

Alicia pouted unhappily.

You just knew to hide it from Ellie, right?

Do you think I'm stupid?

Under normal circumstances, the angry pink fat lady would definitely give this bad guy a good beating to prove that - my Ellie is not someone who can be bullied!

But at that moment, in this extremely strange environment, in order not to cause trouble, Alicia could only follow Jiang Qiao with a pout.

I will remember this grudge!

When this is over, I'll settle all the old and new accounts with you, Ai Li!

Chapter 225: Help Wendy, Jiang Qiao!

"It was so quiet, there was no one in sight... it was a bit scary."

Looking at the empty streets and houses around her, Alicia's voice was a little low and mixed with a little worry. She took the initiative to approach Jiang Qiao and held the latter's arm. Although the situation between Jiang Qiao and Alicia was obviously a little strange, it was obvious that no one would comment on this strange scene at this time.

"Jiang Qiao... You said, the people in Xingcheng wouldn't..."

Thinking of a certain possibility, Alicia's face looked a little depressed.

But the next moment, a slender and soft palm gently fell on her head. Because Jiang Qiao was much taller than Ai Lishiya, Jiang Qiao had to tiptoe when using Ai Lishiya's body. Of course, this did not prevent him from using the sweet and friendly voice of this body to comfort the somewhat hesitant pink fat lady.

"Don't worry, the mist isn't that strong."

The girl said with certainty:

"The residents here should be fine."

If it were the original Herrscher of Death, Jiang Qiao would naturally not have said such a thing. After all, the original Herrscher of Death from the previous civilization had a record of causing millions of casualties in a very short period of time due to Kevin's hesitation.

Just like the Black Abyss White Flower, the result of being hit by the Withering Power of the Herrscher of Death will be just like the experimental subjects who longed for gems in later generations, turning into ashes in a very short time.

But now this power of withering - in exchange for its unstoppable and more versatile universality, it inevitably sacrificed its original lethality.

Although such withering power still has extremely dangerous characteristics for humans, it will accelerate the aging of the human body and then cause diseases, speeding up the process of "birth, aging, illness and death", but after the process, people will still have the ability to respond to at least a certain extent.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Jiang Qiao believes the local residents of Star City - not everyone can figure out the details of the Power of Withering as quickly as he does. Ordinary people may not perceive the threat at all after coming into contact with the black fog, and then die directly from cell failure after ingesting a large amount of black fog.

But there is a very special existence stationed in Star City—Wendy who belongs to the fourth team.

As the Herrscher of Wind, she can definitely come up with a countermeasure.

Alicia said softly:

"I can already feel which way the wind is blowing."

The authority of Origin is not very useful in an environment that absorbs Honkai energy and breeds withering black fog. This is the 'nemesis' that Jian prepared for this restless examiner, but even Jian could not understand that Jiang Qiao does not possess only one Origin authority.

Every body of a Herrscher that he used, and even the power of destiny from another world, allowed Jiang Qiao to still possess extremely strong versatility even when the power of using someone else's body was not complete.

The withering black fog will consume a large amount of the protective barrier of the origin. The characteristics of madly absorbing the Honkai energy and converting it autonomously will make it difficult for any Herrscher to detect the situation by "tracking the Honkai energy" in this environment. This is why Weiwei's instrument failed, because there is no Honkai energy here at all, there is only black fog that will cause the instrument to malfunction and life to wither.

However, the power of the Herrscher of Wind allows Jiang Qiao to break through this limitation by sensing the direction of the wind.

"Which direction is the wind flowing in?"

"Well, ever since I stepped onto this island, I can feel that the wind of this island is spreading outwards. That's why the withering black fog is spreading everywhere." Facing Alicia's question, Jiang Qiao looked seriously at the road ahead that was shrouded in black fog and could not be seen:

"The source of those winds is right in the center of this island, where there is an unusual wind direction."

Although Alicia, who didn't use her brain often after becoming path dependent, wasn't very smart, she understood something immediately after hearing this and blurted out:

"...It's Wendy! It must be Wendy!"

"Ah."

Obviously, the only one who could cause such a huge diversion and anomaly was Wendy, the Herrscher of Wind.

"Hehe, I knew it." After her answer was affirmed, Alicia smiled, with an expression of 'As expected of me', and looking at her eager little eyes, it seemed as if to say - I'm so smart, praise me.

It's a pity that Jiang didn't seem to notice this longing look, which made the pink fat lady puff up her cheeks.

But she immediately felt a little strange:

"If it's Wendy, why doesn't she talk to the organization?"

Wendy belongs to the fourth team stationed in Star City. If anything happens, she should theoretically report to the headquarters.

"She must be in some trouble."

"Enough trouble to keep her from having time to spare," the girl said with certainty.

The fact is indeed as Jiang Qiao guessed -

By sensing the wind, Jiang Qiao quickly led the two Ai Lidi Yan to the place where the wind direction was abnormal.

There, they saw a huge wind farm.

The pitch-black wind field was like a protective shield, making it impossible to see the details inside. One could even feel a dull pain in the skin just by getting close to it.

This is undoubtedly the effect brought about by the authority of the Herrscher of Wind.

The huge wind field prevented the erosion of the black fog, but at the same time it also made it impossible for people to enter it.

Fortunately, Jiang Qiao also possessed the authority of the Herrscher of Wind, and with a slight wave of his hand, he opened a gap.

"So many people!" exclaimed the fairy Ellie.

When you enter the huge wind farm, you can see human figures everywhere. They are lying or sitting weakly, and their appearance is even more shocking.

The beautiful blue eyes swept over them one by one, and could see the traces of "time" on their bodies. It was clear that it was the masterpiece of the withering black fog without any explanation.

Among this group of people, the combination of Jiang Qiao, Alicia, a man, a woman and a child was obviously quite unusual and was soon noticed by someone with a keen eye.

"who!"

There was a sternness in the voice, but after looking carefully, one could recognize that it was a soldier from the Fourth Team. Jiang Qiao had already seen it when she was looking at the information on the way here.

"....Senior Alicia?!"

Although they did not know Jiang Qiao, they naturally recognized Alicia, the leader of the Fire Moth warriors who had made many achievements in battle. Therefore, when they saw Jiang Qiao, their voices instantly changed from serious to surprised.

"Well, headquarters sent us here for support."

"Huh? This is really great... We thought..." The soldiers of the fourth team were delighted. With this horrible wind field and the black fog that covered the sky, if they had not received professional training, they would have probably given up hope long ago.

"Anyway, tell me the details first."
