I'm not Yingjie

The shelter's defenses held out for a minute and a half before the sharp roots penetrated among the civilians who had no idea what was happening, amid screams of fear from within.

And then… he stabbed one of them so hard that he pinned him to the wall of the shelter. His flesh and blood disappeared visibly under his skin, and in the end only a piece of dried skin was left.

A flower bud blooms gorgeously, exuding an intoxicating fragrance...

Chapter 97 The Real Beginning

"What kind of equipment is this..."

The Sixth Herrscher frowned and dodged Kevin's attack, looking at the device on his body that allowed him to fly in the air like himself, and pondered secretly.

It looks like an anti-gravity flying device, but in Hun's memory, only Lin has used this miniaturized flying device. Others do not meet the dress requirements in terms of physical fitness or reaction speed, not to mention the neural connections that will cause damage to the nerves as long as they are used.

Kevin's speed was getting faster and faster. At the moment when the Sixth Herrscher was holding Lin in one hand to deal with him, most of his abilities could not be used.

"Humph……"

The Sixth Herrscher snorted coldly and threw away Lin in her hand without even thinking. Anyway, she had failed in both of her purposes of keeping Lin, so she just let him fall to the ground and smash him to pieces.

"Buzz!"

But what she didn't expect was that half a second after she threw Lin down, Kevin's attacking figure paused, causing her to stop her action of swallowing him up with the black mist all at once.

A ray of light streaked across the sky, and a Titan flew below her at a speed far exceeding that of other Titans, opened the cockpit and caught Lin.

Lin, who was originally unconscious, opened his eyes coldly, and pulled out the sickle from his abdomen with his only remaining right hand. There was only a small, inconspicuous glimmer of green left in his pupils.

"Humans..." The Sixth Herrscher said with a sneer after being stunned for a second.

Lin fell into the cockpit and sat on Prometheus. The robot girl put the helmet that had been prepared long ago on his head. This time, not only Prometheus I, but also Prometheus III joined the neural connection. The power achieved increased exponentially, allowing his consciousness to instantly return to its peak state.

Chuhao's eyes glowed with astonishing green light. She put all her computing power into assisting Lin's brain power: "Verification successful. Skipping the detection phase. The system will maintain the last operating state."

"Enter combat mode, deploy with full armament."

Right now Lin only has one hand, but No. 1 can use his left hand to operate the other side for him. They don't need to communicate. A connection from the deep level of their consciousness allows them to cooperate tacitly to make the Titan run.

The Titan's floater piloted by Lin and the two floaters controlled by Kevin shot out towards the Sixth Herrscher together.

Because Kevin cannot establish neural connections, his spatial calculations and control of the floater are much lower than Lin's. However, he does not rely on the floater to attack, he only uses it as a means of cover.

"boom!"

The gun ports fired at once around the Sixth Herrscher. At the moment of the attack, Lin used the system of No. 1 to intervene in the system of No. 2. He did not let the other Titans attack right away, but instead issued attack orders in another direction at intervals two seconds after this round of attack.

The Sixth Herrscher, who had used a phase transfer device to jump to another location, had just returned to reality when the attack came towards her in front of her shrinking pupils.

"Oh!"

The attack worked.

The Sixth Herrscher appeared in the smoke of the explosion with a grim look in her eyes. Herrscher's shield protected her, but this time the attack actually hit her.

Have you been seen through?

The time of entering and leaving the phase transfer device is different each time, which is affected by the user's willpower, but the Sixth Herrscher has no worries in this regard. Lin has been calculating the interval between each use of the Sixth Herrscher and the direction in which it habitually moves, but she didn't notice it at all.

"Lin, the Titan is equipped with the latest micro-missiles that can destroy the Herrscher's shield." As soon as No. 1's words fell, the information of all the weapons carried by the Titan was listed on the screen in the cockpit. This huge amount of information was something Lin had not been exposed to for a long time, but in the state of neural connection, he could process this information as before without any adaptation.

"cough--"

Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Lin, whose sense of pain was numbed, danced across the keyboard with one hand, calling up the necessary weapons.

The stronger the effect of the neural connection, the greater the side effects. He is now neurally connected to Titan No. 1, No. 3, and Titan at the same time, and is distracted by commanding Titan No. 2. In just one minute, he has shown signs of brain death.

"A pile of scrap metal... Is this what you are confident about?"

The Sixth Herrscher glanced coldly at the surrounding floaters and Titans that were still attacking the shield.

Kevin's heart was filled with alarm. After noticing the Sixth Herrscher's expression, he quickly retreated. In the next moment as he retreated, overwhelming black fog surged out of the Sixth Herrscher's body like a tide.

Ten meters... fifty meters...

The area covered by the black fog, which originally only covered the area around the Sixth Herrscher, expanded to a radius of seventy meters. Two Titans were unable to dodge and were swallowed up by it. Within ten seconds, two pieces of broken scrap metal fell to the ground beyond recognition.

"Erosion of matter?" Kevin's expression was serious. He had heard that the power of the Sixth Lawrence was to cause cells to wither, which manifested itself in the ability to erode matter it came into contact with.

However, judging from the conditions of the two Titans, the speed and effectiveness of the Sixth Herrscher in eroding non-living matter would be relatively poor.

"Kevin, beam particles."

After a long time, Kevin heard Lin's voice again. His expression did not change at all. He responded indifferently: "Understood."

……

Su dared not to make a sound as he looked at the tree roots that pierced through the person in front of him and absorbed him in the blink of an eye. The blood in his body seemed to solidify, making him unable to move.

"Come on!"

Ragnar and Fal grabbed Su's hand and dragged him out of the shelter. Countless terrifying tentacle-like tree roots drilled into the shelter. In just a few seconds, most of the people in the shelter had turned into human skins.

There are tens of thousands of people in this shelter.

But when Ragnar and Farr pulled out Sura, who wanted to rescue people, and stuffed them into a car, and he looked at the "eating" demon roots in dismay, no more people escaped from there.

The engine started, Farr stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the whole car sped away. Some tree roots seemed to notice these fleeing guys and chased them relentlessly.

"Doctor Ragnar..."

"Don't look, Su, we don't have any way to deal with those things..." Ragna's face was solemn and ugly. She looked through the rearview mirror, "It seems that the fifth branch failed to withstand the large-scale collapse..."

"What about the patients? What about the patients?"

When they hid in the shelter, in order to prevent the emitted Honkai energy from corroding other people, the Honkai patients were sent to another shelter. Su still remembered that there was a little girl who was only four years old in it!

"...Director Farr." Ragna did not accuse Su of anything. She just looked calmly at Farr who was driving.

"We are doctors." Fal slammed the steering wheel and made a sharp turn to get rid of the tree roots. "We couldn't save those people just now, but we must save those who can be saved. It is our duty to save the dying and the wounded."

"Go to the shelters that haven't been attacked yet, let them leave, and then provide emergency treatment to those who are critically ill."

Chapter 98: Riddle

The torn sky, the collapsing earth, and the doomsday scene are once again staged in this disaster-stricken city.

The fire from the floater was blocked by the inconspicuous shield, and the sickle cut off the floater that Kevin could not concentrate on operating. The Sixth Herrscher used the unexploded wreckage as a springboard to rush towards Kevin.

"boom!"

The sharp sound of cannon fire flew at high speed. The attack of the floating cannon was completely ineffective against her, so she ignored the tickling attack and rushed straight towards Kevin.

With the help of the space-time rupture device, Kevin's speed might be faster than hers, but that device also has a cooling interval, and Kevin's proficiency in using that small anti-gravity device is not high, so even if her speed is not as fast as the Fourth Herrscher's astonishing super speed, she can still catch Kevin in mid-air where there is not much room for dodging.

She is not like those fools who used up all their strength at once and allowed humans to take advantage of them. As long as she defeats the Fire Moths step by step, no one can stop her.

"Zi-"

As she rushed towards Kevin, a discordant noise came from her shield. Before the Sixth Herrscher could figure out what was going on, the entire shield shattered and the explosion swept her in from behind.

Lin stared at the Sixth Herrscher covered in thick smoke. He was missing an eye so half of his vision was blind, but the means of perception he could use in the neural connection were not limited to vision, so he used his limited energy to explore the environment.

The penetrating bullet broke through the Herrscher's shield, but Lin did not expect that the power of this attack could defeat the Sixth Herrscher. Moreover... he felt that judging from the Sixth Herrscher's performance that she could not speak the same language as the previous Herrschers, it was very likely that she was not hit just now.

The wind direction changed, and Lin turned the Titan as fast as he could. A black fog like a dragon was coming towards him. Kevin used the remaining floating guns to attack the sixth Herrscher in time, buying Lin half a second to escape from the attack range of the black fog. "

“Hiding the real intention in useless attacks, he is still using tricks as usual.” The Sixth Herrscher’s expression changed subtly when he saw Lin barely exit the limit range of the black fog.

To be precise, that is not the limit. As long as the Honkai energy and her control over power are sufficient, the black fog can spread almost unlimitedly. Even now, she can make the black fog cover Changkong City and decompose all the people here.

But if she did that, her body would be destroyed by the backlash of the Herrscher's core. Even as a Herrscher, she had to pay a price for using her power. Otherwise, she would not have the time to create the tree to clear the people in the shelter instead of her.

The current extreme range is within the range that will not cause any gaps in the maintenance of the shield and will not put any burden on her body.

If she had tried to let the black fog attack Lin, she would have probably exposed her flaws to Kevin who was watching her closely.

Lin stopped at that distance, just close enough to touch, obviously trying to use himself to lure the Sixth Herrscher into the trap.

Compared to hiding the penetrating bullets in the attack of the floating gun, this is Lin’s real plan.

"Your body can't hold out for much longer. Let me wait until you die of Honkai disease or brain death before I kill Kevin." The sickle in her hand transformed into a pair of giant claws. She stretched out her scarlet tongue and licked Lin's blood on it. "As for my followers, your defense line will collapse sooner or later. Just wait a little longer..."

Yes, they were the ones who should be anxious now, but the longer she delayed, the better the situation would be for her.

"By the way, I remember that your behavior at the beginning was not entirely consistent with what you said."

The Sixth Herrscher dodged the penetrating bullet, dodged and stabbed a claw into the floating cannon, turned his head and showed a sweet smile and voice: "Your initial target was that group of assassins, which means you really think I treat you as a human, but in the subsequent conversation, you acted as if you never had any expectations of me."

"You are just deceiving yourself."

The beam shot out, but was deflected by the Sixth Herrscher's shield into Changkong City, piercing through the middle of a building, causing half of the building to collapse.

"In fact, you have also thought about it. Since the Sixth Herrscher is so special, could it be that his soul still exists in this body?"

"It's just that you can't allow yourself to have any illusions, otherwise you will be shaken. Then you will have the idea of ​​gambling when you shoot."

"So, do you want to guess again, is the soul... still alive?"

"Team Leader Lin." This sentence completely changed into Hun's tone.

The mechanical fingers of the Titan controlled by Lin paused for a moment.

hesitate.

The Sixth Herrscher smiled coldly, and the black mist around her immediately gathered together to block the attacking Kevin. She activated the phase transfer device and appeared right in front of the cockpit of the stopped Titan. The sharp claws of her right hand mercilessly tore through the iron sheet, and her left hand, which was ready to strike, stabbed in fiercely the moment she saw Lin appear.

"bass!"

Lin, who was wearing a helmet, was pierced by the claws along with Prometheus I.

The Sixth Herrscher seemed to see the stunned expression under Lin's helmet. She cruelly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

……

"Dr. Spasi, I have some bad news."

Spasi watched the battle in silence, took a deep breath, and said to Einstein: "Is there any worse news?"

The troops were divided into three groups, with a total of thirty autonomous Titans. Kevin took four, Hen took four, and the rest were scattered around the city to defend various fronts. The actual effect was... not optimistic.

Just as the Sixth Herrscher had predicted, as the troops were dispersed, the defense pales in comparison to the endless stream of Honkai creatures.

Currently, not far from the fifth branch, there are ten Titans and a force led by Himiko fighting against the Emperor-level Honkai Beasts, but the number of casualties among combatants is still rising and the losses are heavy, while the condition of the Emperor-level Honkai Beasts has not seemed to have improved much.

There was no positive news from Kevin who was delaying the Sixth Herrscher and Hen who was conquering the giant tree. It could be said that if this continued, the destruction of the Fifth Branch and even the entire Far East was only a matter of time.

The Sixth Herrscher's way of thinking is far different from that of the previous Herrschers. After destroying the Far East, she will probably immediately eliminate the Fire Moths, whose manpower is depleted. In this way, humans will not be able to find an effective plan to stop her in a short period of time.

Under the circumstances, Spasi couldn't think of any worse news.

"According to the air testing in your area, the pollen emitted by the flowers on that tree seems to have a similar composition to the black mist of the Sixth Herrscher."

"... In other words, the pollen can also cause cell apoptosis?"

"The effect may be less, but... it's the same for humans."

"Even worse news..."

Spasi sighed.

"Are you thinking about how to write a suicide note?" Einstein asked.

Spasi sneered, "A suicide note? Can you write one?"

"I don't think so."

"What a coincidence, me too." Spasi's eyes were grim and serious, "I don't spend all day thinking about how to die beautifully."

They are humanity's last line of defense. Even if they have to use their teeth, they will bite off a piece of flesh from these monsters that are trying to destroy humanity.

Chapter 99: End

"bass!"

After piercing Lin and Prometheus I together, the bloodthirsty light in the Sixth Herrscher's eyes shone brightly, and she couldn't help but smile strangely.

Got it.

Although delaying time is the safest approach, there are too many variables and Lin cannot be allowed to live.

This way of tearing humans apart from the inside out, revealing cruelty and weirdness in calmness, is what she should do.

It didn't matter if she didn't know why she was laughing.
