I'm not Yingjie

But in the end, he rushed into the bloody torrent and was swallowed by death without looking back.

But Alicia did not allow herself to show any more sadness. There were still people waiting for them to save them. That was everything Lin wanted to protect, and she had to fulfill his wish.

At least now, neither Ai Lishiya nor Hen can continue to be sad.

"Prometheus, send Lin back."

Alicia turned her eyes away from Lin's face, she stood up, watched the cockpit door of the Titan gradually close, and the empty pupils of Prometheus disappear, then turned around to listen to the roar of the Titan's engine and the strong wind that blew up the corners of her clothes.

Let's save all the sorrow until after everything is over.

"Alicea, from what I've observed, the roots of this tree are tangled and intertwined. It's impossible to clear them all at once. It might be easier to cut off the middle."

After giving Alicia a brief moment of peace, Hen told her detailed combat intelligence. Because the threat level of this tree was one level lower than that of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast and the Herrscher, there were not many Titans cooperating with him.

“No…Hen, you forgot one thing.” Alysia’s tone was much calmer than before. Her pupils were fixed on the giant tree that was dancing like a demon. She opened her lips slightly and said, “Even if it is a Honkai creature, it will follow common sense to a certain extent and cannot be separated from the scope of science.”

"Even if a tree is cut in half, the taproot will still survive. Moreover, this tree has the strongest vitality in the world. I'm afraid even if most of the roots are removed, it may not be killed."

"What should we do?" Hen gritted his teeth and wanted to punch the inner wall of the Titan's cockpit. His mood was not much better than Alicia's.

Collapse killed Lin, but Hen believed that Lin would accept this outcome calmly, and they would all accept it because they were soldiers and were ready to sacrifice at all times.

But he couldn't accept it... In this situation, when humans caused civil strife, killed each other, and burned everything they had done, Lin still dragged his broken body onto the battlefield and died for it.

The significance of those dead people and the significance of Lin seem so insignificant in the face of this ridiculous world.

"What should we do? Since the Sixth Herrscher possesses two completely different powers, she can infuse life into this plant, and of course she can also use the other power to destroy it."

Hen raised his head suddenly.

"You mean..."

"Have you heard the story of the strongest spear and the strongest shield?"

Chapter 105 Plan

After completely destroying the human figure, the porcupine raised its head and let out a happy roar.

It was extremely grateful that the Ruler it served had given it such wisdom, allowing it to defeat the human at this critical moment.

Wanting to repeat the same trick and attack it from above, it paid more attention when firing the ray, and sure enough, she made the same move as before, so it could adjust its direction in time and decompose her.

As expected, that human is already at the end of his strength, and he can tear the other humans to pieces one by one next...

"Oh!"

A huge force came from its abdomen.

"howl--"

It was horrified to find that it was now too weak to stop the force that lifted its front body after consuming the Honkai energy again. Combined with the injury to its hind legs, its huge but unbalanced body was blown away.

"You are so proud of your little wisdom. In a sense, you are really like a human being."

A streak of deep red was placed on the ground, staring coldly at the porcupine that was knocked away, and the right hand that punched was placed on the hilt of the giant sword that was stuck in the ground.

"But it's a pity. I've seen real smart people before. Your IQ is at most the same as mine... Haha, I think I'm belittling myself a bit."

The jumping figure was actually Himiko who grabbed a dead man and lifted it into the sky, making it look like she was jumping up.

It was a gamble, but fortunately, she made the right one.

"Anyway, go to hell, you idiot."

Fireworks shot up into the sky. Himiko drew out her giant sword, bounced up from the ground, ignited the giant sword's flame in the air, and went straight over the height of the Honkai beast.

Then, she roared and delivered the decisive blow.

"boom!"

The flames engulfed the body of the screaming porcupine.

……

Kevin stared blankly at the disappearing family of three, and something he hated extremely was running through his mind.

Mei's back, betrayed team members, Lin's death, fragile life...

It was a symphony of anger and despair.

The seeds planted in his heart have unknowingly taken root, sprouted, and grown strong, swallowing up his sensibility bit by bit, leaving only his increasingly cold rationality.

The world was caught in a twisted vortex. Even though he had wanted to swim against the current, his original intention had disappeared in the long-lasting cruelty.

He thought of Mei's smile, which had become more and more natural over the years, and he unconsciously... removed the emotion from his eyes.

"Wow——"

A cry brought Kevin back to reality. He saw the Sixth Herrscher raised his hand and the menacing black mist rushed towards him. He could only grit his teeth and continue to dodge the attack.

However, he noticed the childish cry, and in a moment of dodging, he looked towards the place that was swallowed by the black fog.

Pupils, dilated.

The child held by the couple was now crying in the ruins, making throat-wrenching cries.

He was some distance away from where the couple had originally stood, just outside the range of the black fog.

They…threw the kid out at the end?

Kevin looked at the young and fragile life in disbelief.

The hope of life beat in Kevin's heart with his cries.

Here, defeat her.

Even if it's just for this child, she must be defeated here! No one else can be allowed to die!

After this moment, the change in his eyes caught the attention of the Herrscher.

"Kevin, can you hear me?"

When Kevin was about to attack, the voice in the communicator made him pause for a moment, then he dodged the sickle's attack with a sideways flight. The flying device started at full speed and turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky.

"Alicia..." Kevin naturally recognized this long-lost voice. He glanced at the Sixth Herrscher who was following behind him and getting closer.

This speed is faster than before. Is his familiarity with the power still increasing?

"It seems that there is no problem with the communication." Alicia quickly determined the current situation through the noise on the other end of the communication. She said, "Are you fighting with the Sixth Herrscher?"

"Yes."

"Is she running after you?"

"..."

Kevin did not reply, because two black mists pierced his back from a tricky angle. He stopped speeding up and stood still, performing a cobra maneuver, perfectly avoiding the Sixth Herrscher and the black mist.

"Kevin, listen carefully. We have a battle that requires your cooperation. To be more precise... the cooperation of the Sixth Herrscher."

……

"Will it work? As of now, the effect of the pollen is close to the power of the Sixth Herrscher. I'm afraid the black mist will not have any effect on it."

Hen was floating in the air with the Titan riding on Alicia, observing from afar the giant tree whose blooming speed did not slow down at all. He stared at the pollen and asked.

He did not hold high hopes for Alicia's plan. Allowing a creature to be killed by its creator was an event that mostly appeared only in mythological and fictional works. It was a dramatic performance rather than a real battle.

"From the data of the Honkai beasts that accompanied the First to the Fifth Herrscher, their abilities are similar to those of the Herrscher, but their natures are completely different."

Alicia didn't show much anxiety. She was just paying attention to the situation on the other battlefield. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Hen, "Besides, don't you think it's strange that the Herrscher, the Emperor-level Honkai Beast and the giant tree separated this time?"

"Isn't it because the Herrscher this time retained more consciousness, so she made a plan to disperse the troops?"

"That is probably just one of the purposes. She can indeed disperse the troops by doing this, but there is no need to divide them into three groups. The emperor-level Honkai beasts can be sent out to attack the fifth branch, but she can stay on this tree, protecting the tree on the one hand, and letting the tree protect her on the other."

After hearing Alicia's analysis, Hen suddenly had an idea and seemed to understand something.

The existence of this tree can be a place for the Sixth Herrscher to familiarize himself with his powers. The emperor-level Honkai beasts sent out are enough to delay the pace of the Fifth Branch. This tree also has the ability to destroy the Far East after it is fully developed. So it stands to reason that the Sixth Herrscher can completely familiarize himself with his powers and protect this tree here.

This is much better than dividing the troops into three routes, dispersing the forces and relaxing the self-defense.

So what would have made her do this?

power.

Her power does not distinguish between friend and foe, and there is a high possibility that she could harm the tree.

“Having wisdom is not necessarily a good thing. In most myths, gods or humans who have self-awareness and wisdom are often the first to be punished.”

"If we are performing a myth, then the Sixth Herrscher and her followers are playing this kind of role."

The last day off this month

Chapter 106 Dissipation

The sea brought a moist incense, and the evaporation of water vapor under the swaying sun was accompanied by cool spots.

Lin put down the teacup, and the tea fragrance on the edge of the cup was blown away by the wind. The haze under the parasol changed with the trace of the sun sliding across the blue sky, and the fine white sand was painted with a leisurely trace by the little crabs that came ashore.

After Feng Qiyu finished telling stories to others, he leaned back in the beach chair and wanted to take a nap.

He closed his eyes and the familiar darkness came over him.

"Is that all?"

Only... that much?

Lin opened his eyes with some surprise, and saw the soul that was farthest away from him looking into the distance and sipping a cup of flat Coke.

expressionless.

Putting down the cup, Hun continued with his words: "Captain Lin, your story is too short. To this world, it is like a small, insignificant splash of water in the ocean... No, even among humans, your life is very short."

Is it short?

But aren’t Delta, Anna, and Soul’s lives also short?

"To put it bluntly..." Hun said lightly, "I didn't enjoy it enough. Tell me more next time when it's longer."

"..."

"You should go back. No matter how painful it is, you must finish that journey instead of being immersed in this fantasy like me."

The beach, the ocean, the birdsong, everything in sight flakes away like shattered glass.

Also shattered were the people smiling in the sunshine.

Lin looked indifferent to all this: "I can't go back."

No matter whether this is an illusion before death or a dream after death, he cannot return to the body that has stopped breathing.

"Sure, Captain Lin, do you remember what we discussed together?"

"..."

"Did you remember? Haha... then the time is almost up."

"Are you a spirit? Or are you just a thought of mine?"

Lin stood among the debris, looking at the girl who was breaking into pieces bit by bit starting from her legs.

"Who knows, maybe the real Hun is not as beautiful as you imagined, and you are not as omnipotent as she imagined..." Hun seemed to have let go of something and smiled, "But you are still so handsome, Captain Lin. Obviously, we have all been hurt and trapped in the illusions we created, but you still believe in your own path."

"the same as you."

"Me? No way... I've always been avoiding you. When Captain Lin was with me, I hid behind you. After you left, I hid behind the crazy mask. I really... envy you."

Hun suddenly thought of something, and smiled to Lin: "By the way, Captain Lin, can you hug me?"

"..."

Lin nodded lightly, and walked slowly forward towards the girl who was gradually disintegrating.

But the moment his fingers touched the girl, her figure disintegrated into the darkness.

I didn't even have the chance to say "goodbye" with a smile.

……
