I'm not Yingjie

"For your own good, it's best not to pull out the sickle, otherwise heavy bleeding will cause trouble." The scarlet eyes were elegant, but the movement of his feet was rough, crushing the sickle head, and licking the corner of his mouth that seemed to be stained with blood, "Don't cause me trouble, I don't want to treat humans."

"Otherwise I will turn you into a dead soldier and use you to slaughter your comrades."

Lin's hands fell weakly from the sickle.

"Haha... there's also a communicator."

The Sixth Herrscher pressed his palm against Lin's neck, squeezing his artery tightly, then pulled out the communicator from his pocket, which had not yet been opened, and threw it down from the top of the tree in front of Lin.

"You always manage to be clever and strike back in unexpected places. Also, Fire Moth has experienced crises more than once or twice, and each time you have been able to 'just' get through the difficulties. So it's better to be cautious." The Sixth Herrscher didn't care about Lin's gaze, grinned, and laughed heartily.

Possessing the memories of the soul, she knew the details of the Fire Moths and Lin's situation much better than the previous Herrschers could. She could even arrange the battle situation in advance and divide and weaken their forces again.

Just like the previous Herrschers would fall into a brief state of weakness after launching attacks with a certain degree of Honkai energy, her black mist would also expose similar problems when trying to achieve optimal lethality, so she did not choose to give anyone a chance and used the safest method to solve the biggest problem.

Especially Lin, he is a real opportunist. Even though he looks half dead now, if he has a momentary flaw, he will seize the opportunity to stab the knife into her Herrscher Core.

The Sixth Herrscher had two plans for sparing Lin's life instead of killing him outright.

"Do you see Changkong City over there? Didn't the research of the Fire Moth say that Herrschers will not leave a certain range within 24 hours? What do you think will happen if I, a Herrscher born within 24 hours, appear in Changkong City where no one knows what happened and no one has evacuated?"

"I'm afraid they will revise the so-called research report once again, hahahaha... After all, they are so ignorant and stinky."

Chapter 95: Aggregate of Thoughts

"Hey, your name is... Lin, right? Look at this."

Under the dazzling light, a barefoot man in a white coat was standing, ruffling his messy hair with one hand and shaking the star-like blue particles in a small bottle with the other.

I didn't see the bottle and pointed to his feet, which were exposed on the cold floor.

"Barefoot? Never mind. I was so sleepy that I forgot to put on my shoes." He put the bottle of firefly-like particles on the table and pushed it in front of me. "How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

"..."

"Hey, hey, hey, give me some reaction. This is the energy source of the Titan you want, the usable Houkai energy converted by the converter."

The man patted my helmet helplessly, but he didn't need to do that because I was watching him and the particles the whole time.

"This is the limit of what humans can do at the moment. The converter is still far from being able to convert a large amount of Honkai energy, but even this little bit can keep a laboratory lit for a day." The man stared at the Honkai energy particles with some emotion in his eyes, "Honkai energy... after being materialized, it looks so beautiful. It is obviously a substance that will cause a devastating blow to humans. This is probably why all colorful mushrooms are poisonous."

"..."

"But, sometimes I think that the more concentrated the Honkai energy is, the more likely it is that Honkai creatures with intelligence close to that of humans will be born. This is like saying that humans are more dangerous than Honkai itself... Hehe, maybe I'm overthinking it."

I listened to the man's mumbling and stared at the Honkai energy particles.

It is indeed beautiful, yet fragile and illusory, as if it would disappear if you touched it.

"This is... a soul." I whispered in a low voice, my voice so cold that it lowered the temperature around me.

"Huh?" The man's eyes widened a little, an expression of surprise.

"In places where Honkai energy is the most concentrated, the most people died. Their souls turned into more Honkai energy, and their thoughts gathered into the minds of those Honkai creatures, so they look like humans."

"...Interesting statement." The man showed an interested look, "So you mean to say that it has always been humans fighting against humans?"

"No... Humans have always been fighting with longing."

……

"The mental disorder caused by Honkai is an extremely rare type even among Honkai disease cases. You said that you had a brain reconstruction surgery, so that must be the cause."

The Sixth Herrscher held Lin upside down and hovered over Changkong City. This city, which had been destroyed by disasters and rebuilt after going through countless hardships and dangers, seemed to have returned to its former prosperity, with bright lights on, like a dancer who had taken off her disguise and was dancing in the candlelight.

The sickle was still stuck in Lin's stomach. Perhaps the Sixth Herrscher used her ability to reduce the size of his wound so that not too much blood flowed out. Moreover, the sickle was very precise and did not injure any vital organs.

“How pathetic.” The Sixth Herrscher let go of Lin’s feet and sneered as he watched him fall freely. “You walked on the path chosen by the person who hurt you, but when you reached the end, all you saw was your own grave.”

"On the one hand, they will sacrifice themselves for others without hesitation, but on the other hand, they have to linger on to save more people."

"You don't care about anything about yourself, but you often have to watch the people around you die, but you are lucky enough to survive every time."

"Those who don't want to die die, and those who want to die live. Humans are just as ridiculously contradictory as that man said."

As Lin fell, the Sixth Herrscher swooped down and grabbed his feet again. This violent action tore at his wound, causing his consciousness to blur again.

"Don't fall asleep, watch carefully how all this is destroyed under my hands."

Lin suddenly opened his eyes wide, pulled out his pistol, and fired several shots at the Sixth Herrscher's head.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

However, the Sixth Herrscher who had mocked Lin emerged from behind the black fog unscathed. She snatched the pistol from Lin's hand deftly, then skillfully took out the magazine and emptied the bullets one by one.

Finally, she put the pistol, which had no bullets, back into Lin's hand.

All smiles.

"This is your current situation, a gun without bullets. The value of your existence is to make me laugh with your ridiculous behavior."

The Sixth Herrscher was extremely excited. She wanted to see the changes on Lin's face, his disappointment in humans, his fear of her, his regret for the past... She wanted to see everything.

But to her disappointment, Lin remained calm from beginning to end. Not even a muscle of his had moved from beginning to end. His eyes were so clear that she wondered if he was still thinking about how to deal with her.

The phase shifter was back in her hands, his threat had been lifted, and she just wanted to see this calm guy desperate to cheer her up.

"Forget it. I'm not that interested in watching a disabled person perform. Next, the main event will begin."

"Who will come to deal with me..."

"Oh!"

The black mist appeared in time to block the bullet shot at her head. The Sixth Herrscher's leisurely expression disappeared instantly, and he glanced coldly at the four Titans flying from their direction.

The hatch of one of the Titans was wide open, and the man who was half-kneeling in the cockpit and sniping with a rifle took his eyes away from the scope and looked at the familiar face of the Sixth Herrscher and Lin, who was like a broken rag doll in her hands.

Then Kevin raised his gun and fired without hesitation.

The four Titans also fired at the same time, using the weapons they were equipped with to attack the Sixth Herrscher at maximum firepower. For a moment, dazzling beams of light and roars of explosions erupted in the sky above Changkong City.

"Are there fireworks today?" Someone looked up in confusion and saw the brilliant beams of light and explosions in the sky.

Then the alarm pierced the night.

"Hmm? I am increasingly confused about you. Is my memory wrong, or are humans not as 'human' as I thought?"

The Sixth Herrscher flew out of the void, holding the unconscious Lin in her hand. She smiled and said to Kevin, "You can even shoot your friend without hesitation. To you, the lives of the people in this city are far more valuable than his? Hehehe... It's really chilling."

But Kevin was not shaken by her words. He just observed her, as if trying to find her weakness.

This look made the Sixth Herrscher stunned for a moment, and he thought of someone.

The man was now in her hands.

Suddenly, Kevin disappeared from the cockpit.

An afterimage appeared beside the Sixth Herrscher. In his cold-blooded pupils, the Sixth Herrscher's face, which had no time to show any expression, was reflected.

A time-space rupture device? But this speed——

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

There was a loud sound of gunfire.

Chapter 96: Demonic Tree

"Is it okay to let Kevin fight the Sixth Herrscher alone?"

In response to Wei Wei's question, Mei, who had been standing in front of the screen, replied calmly: "Kevin's physical fitness and reaction ability are almost the same as Lin's. Lin has fought against the Herrscher before, so there is no reason for him to lose."

"...You should know that Lin's victory was not based on his physical ability."

"The fifth branch cannot be destroyed. The headquarters receives too little information and cannot command in real time. If the central brain is destroyed, it will lead to more casualties."

"So you let Kevin and four Titans hold back the Sixth Herrscher alone? Just like Lin before?"

"No, you can think that I..." Mei pushed up her glasses, "trust Kevin."

……

"Hua, the rear."

Imer slashed at the neck of the Honkai Beast, but his injuries had not healed and his condition was not good, so the knife did not penetrate, and his palms became numb instead.

The Honkai beast was about to attack Hua who was concentrating on dealing with the assassins. After hearing his reminder, Hua turned around and threw a straight punch. With the help of the power armor, the punch pierced the Honkai beast's head. He then turned around and kicked the assassin away with a side kick.

"How long will it take for the next batch of Honkai beasts to arrive!" Kosmo looked like he had been fished out of a pool of blood. He tore off the arm of the dead man and asked Elvin.

"Three minutes! Three more minutes...Ah! Be careful!"

Erwin did not fight in a big way like Kosmo. He carefully observed which direction the death warriors and Honkai beasts might break through the defense line. He caught a glimpse of one of the soldiers who failed to retreat in time after an exhausted swing of the sword and was grabbed by the wrist by the death warrior.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Blood splattered everywhere, and the soldier only had time to let out a scream before being torn into pieces by countless pale limbs and fangs. His internal organs and broken limbs, along with sticky blood, fell to Erwin's feet, and he couldn't even hold the man with his outstretched hand...

"Don't be dazed!"

Kosmo grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him back. The assassin's smelly mouth brushed against his shoulder. Kosmo shot the assassin in the head and threw Alvin behind him.

"Oh!"

Before he knew it, another soldier was smashed to pieces by a single punch from a tank-class Honkai beast. The sight of a watermelon smashing to the ground made Erwin's throat hoarse, and he couldn't even scream.

A Titan grabbed the Honkai beast and pierced its core with the muzzle of its gun. However, after killing it, more Honkai beasts rushed up and blocked the muzzles of the gun with their bodies. Even with the efficiency of the Titan, it was impossible to kill all of them quickly.

The moment the bullets and energy ran out, these Honkai beasts and dead soldiers emerged from all possible places like an endless nightmare.

Can they really win?

Can a deserter like me really fight these monsters?

"Erwin! Your name is Erwin, right?"

The loud shout cleared up Kosmo's depressed eyes, and a figure half a head shorter than him but extremely strong stood in front of him.

Kosmo gasped and stopped the dead soldiers with bloodshot eyes: "Come on! They are heroes! They did not flee from the battlefield. This was not due to anyone's orders, but their own will. They sacrificed their lives to protect mankind!"

"You didn't run away now, did you? No matter how scared you were, you still stood here and didn't run away again!"

"So you're a hero too! Hold your head high!"

Yes, this time, he has no way out.

Erwin thought of the "meteor" that rushed towards the Fifth Herrscher without hesitation. He eliminated weakness from his eyes, gritted his teeth, picked up his weapon and threw himself into the battle.

"The Emperor-class Honkai Beast is approaching! Send out the Titan troops, everyone, shrink the defense line!"

Himiko, the battlefield commander, shouted, hiding the deep fatigue in her eyes.

……

"Target found, attack started."

Hen saw the towering tree from afar in the cockpit. It was rooted in the city and continuously absorbed the vitality of the earth. It was just like a demonic plant in mythology.

The next second after reaching the attack distance, Hen communicated with Prometheus II in the cockpit and issued an attack order.

Weapons, missiles and light beams poured out, leaving a dark wound on the giant tree in a moment, which greatly reduced its outward speed.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Hen increased his firepower. However, before the second wave of attack began, a black shadow fell from the sky and entangled one of the Titans.

The giant tree actually came to life, and its branches, which were incredibly hard and far exceeded that of metal, tightly gripped Titan. In front of the tree's claws, Titan was like a toy. After increasing the tightening force, countless electric sparks came out of Titan's body and he was crushed on the spot.

"This kind of power? No... Is this the erosion of Houkai energy?"

Hen first thought that this was the power of the giant tree, but given the material of the Titan, it should be impossible to crush it with external force alone. After seeing the lines of varying depths on the Titan's body, he was sure that the giant tree used the Honkai energy to corrode the Titan's alloy, reducing its own hardness.

The Honkai energy contained in this tree even exceeds that of the Herrscher. It is an exaggeration to say that it is a plant-type Judgment-level Honkai beast. The concentration of Honkai energy alone is enough to corrode most substances, even Titans are no exception.

There was no time for Hen to breathe. More branches sprouted from the tree canopy. Hen himself did not drive the Titan, so he could only let Prometheus II control the Titan to dodge. Only after exiting the attack range did the extension speed of the branches slow down.

Those parts that were attacked and turned black healed themselves in the blink of an eye, exuding a thrilling vitality.

This tree needs to be cut down all at once.

While Hen was thinking about countermeasures, he noticed that something suddenly grew among the branches and leaves of the tree. He used Titan's monitor to magnify the scene, but what he saw was an unexpected scene.

"bud?"

Yes, flower buds. Those new things growing among the branches and leaves are giant goose yellow flower buds. Their budding appearance is both beautiful and full of a certain weirdness.

At this time, the roots of the giant tree reached the first shelter.
