I'm not Yingjie

Himiko and Soul looked at each other, nodded, and prepared to leave.

"Drip-drip-"

The monitor also sat down suddenly. At this time, a communication came in: "This is Ai Li's seven-point Zizhe Zizhe Zizhan."

"Allysia's team?"

"drop--"

The monitor who was about to reply suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the monitoring screen.

"Team Alicia! Please take shelter immediately!"

"Notice to all teams! The Third Herrscher's Honkai energy response has increased! Begin high-speed movement! The predicted target location is..."

He covered his face and said in disbelief.

"The target location is the location of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast."

Chapter 12 So I chose to move forward

The Third Herrscher was wearing an elegant purple-black robe, with long purple hair draped obediently behind his shoulders. He stood in the thundercloud, his eyes devoid of human emotions staring indifferently at the ruins struck by lightning beneath his feet.

Those tiny but deadly electric currents were moving around her. If this inconspicuous lightning hit a human body, it would directly cause the heart to spasm and stop beating. It was so dangerous, yet so compliant beside her.

She seemed... no, she was the high and mighty god who brought death as divine punishment for what she had seen.

After a bolt of lightning struck and turned the human into charcoal, the Third Herrscher lowered his eyes slightly and looked at his followers who were slowly recovering.

One of the cores was actually destroyed by humans, and if she hadn't arrived in time, the other core would have been destroyed directly.

The Third Herrscher gave an order to the recovering Snake Shadow, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Oh!"

Just as she turned around, a particle bullet compressed from Houkai energy shot towards the back of her head.

"Fuck."

The bullet was blocked by a circular protective net composed of electric current. The Third Herrscher lowered his head and looked in the direction of the bullet.

[Warning... The damage rate of the jet device has reached 78%]

[Warning... Information collection device is unavailable]

[Warning... Jumping device damage rate reaches 17%]

【warn……】

Lin grabbed the edge of the roof of a ten-story building with one hand. Pieces of burnt armor stuck to his charred skin and fell off his body. He threw away the pistol that had used up the last bullet, and climbed onto the roof by holding the edge with both hands.

Even though Lin had sensed the attack at the last moment and swung out his hook, he was still unable to dodge and was hit by the edge. Fortunately, it did not hit his body directly, but it destroyed almost all of his equipment.

But the toxins and injuries had pushed him to the brink of death.

"Cough cough cough..." The coughing became louder and louder. Half of Lin's helmet was broken into pieces. The fragments pierced into his face. Blood dripped from his chin. He raised his head and looked into the eyes of the "God" in the air.

The torrential rain sent by God was still washing away his ugly body with most of his skin missing.

On the incomplete visual screen, the countdown stopped at the last second, which meant that the effect of the poison had worn off, and Lin fell powerlessly into the rain.

"God..." The heavy rain mercilessly took away the little life left in his body. Lin murmured in a trance and stretched out his hand towards the magnificent and majestic purple figure.

The lightning illuminated his face, dull and tired, he was already a dying man.

What was this man thinking about in his final moments? Hallucinations, memories, regrets?

"..." The god stretched out her hand and shook his hand in the air. Lightning was brewing above her head. She mercifully sent down the thunder, wanting to end the suffering of this pitiful human being.

But suddenly, the hand tightened into a fist.

“No… you are not gods…” An unknown force poured into the man’s body. His dull eyes became sharp. He supported himself firmly on the ground with his hands and stood up.

The smell of rust filled his nose. Lin breathed heavily and stared directly at the overwhelming power of thunder.

"You are not qualified to judge mankind on behalf of God."

"Boom!"

The lightning struck again, and Lin's figure disappeared in the light.

……

"..."

There was a long silence.

It was pitch black, and all five senses disappeared.

"The data has been adjusted, but there is still no guarantee that it will work properly..."

"Don't use it unless it's absolutely necessary..."

After Lin pressed the phase shift device, he came here again.

Lin couldn't tell whether this was the world after death or a phase shift.

In this world where everything is lost and only consciousness remains, humans may go crazy if they stay there for a while... no, just a few seconds.

Because you can't even be sure whether time is moving forward. Is the second you judge as really just "one second"?

"..."

So, let's assume that we are in a phase shift now.

Lin's thinking was not affected by this empty world. Instead, after being freed from the physical pain, he focused more on some details that he had not had time to consider just now.

How to defeat the Herrscher is a topic that a group of top researchers at Fire Moth, all of whom have at least a doctorate degree, study day and night.

As the most threatening manifestation of Honkai and the most intuitive embodiment of destruction, the Herrscher is given a "power" that allows him to freely manipulate certain phenomena, such as the electromagnetic field of the Third Herrscher and the space of the Second Herrscher.

The difficulty is not the method of killing the Herrscher. In fact, it is not difficult to stop the physiological activities of the Herrscher. After all, they were humans before they became Herrschers. Except for separating the Herrscher's core, as long as the attack is strong enough, basically all the methods of killing humans can be used on them.

The difficulty is how to do it.

"..."

Humans killed two Herrschers and obtained the Herrscher Cores from them.

Through the study of the core, the Fire Moth discovered that the Herrscher core is more like a key to open the door to the use of abilities than a battery with infinite energy. The Herrscher takes it from behind the door and then uses it.

The question is whether the power to be claimed can be used without limit.

"..."

The answer is no.

Certain clues connected in Lin's mind, and he vaguely saw a glimmer of hope for victory.

If the Third Herrscher could manipulate lightning to cause destruction at will, and the thunderclouds covering Changkong City were also controlled by her, then she could have used the same single lightning strike intensity as when she attacked him to line up and plow the land directly, or directly use the thunderclouds in Changkong City to strike indiscriminately. In that case, humanity would be completely destroyed in less than a month.

But the fact is that in order to kill Lin, she personally came to a distance where she could aim with the naked eye, and then hit him with a single high-intensity lightning strike.

Power is not inexhaustible. Even the Herrscher must consider the issue of Honkai energy consumption.

After deciding on the first theory, Lin began to think about the second question.

So is this large-scale thundercloud intentionally controlled?

A second conclusion was quickly reached.

No, the large-scale thunderclouds were most likely a byproduct of her power, which just happened to show that she was not yet able to control her power freely.

So, last question.

During the phase shift, if you do not move in this empty space, you will reappear in the original place after it ends. So where should you move now?

The empty space begins to erode the mind, and the countdown of time is imminent.

A pair of indifferent eyes lit up in the darkness.

go ahead.

Lin, this was his only choice, and it was decided from the beginning.

There is no regret medicine to take, no matter it is human or him, all they can do is...

"go ahead."

So, tearing through the darkness, Lin's body reassembled under and behind the third Herrscher.

Amid the rumbling thunder, humans began to challenge the god of lightning.

Chapter 13 Do You Believe Me?

"Tack, tick, tick..."

Mei's fingers danced on the keyboard, and piles of documents flashed across the screen like flowing light. She only needed to glance at those documents full of text before closing them. The speed of information processing was astonishing. It only took her about ten minutes to go from a layman who didn't know what Honkai was to start calculating the density of Honkai energy distribution in Changkong City. Even with the knowledge about Honkai that Mobius had sorted out in advance, Mei's learning speed was so fast that it was frightening.

"So awesome, Mei..." Kevin was still standing aside holding the gun Lin had given him. He had nothing to do so he could only sigh at Mei's abilities as a humanoid computer.

"Information processing is nothing more than the steps of collection, organization, simplification and absorption." Mei actually had time to explain to Kevin, "As long as you are trained, it is not difficult to reach my level. What's more, this information has been collected, organized and simplified to a certain extent. I just need to absorb it."

"But even if you say so..."

Kevin glanced at the astonished command staff, smiled helplessly at Mei who was not aware of her own abilities, and said, "It still makes me feel incredible. I'm afraid only you can do it."

"No, there is another person who can do it."

Mei's fingers paused, she stared at the variables on the screen, lost in thought.

If the power of the Herrscher is not infinite, then the most convenient way to consume the power is to launch a powerful attack. To do this, you must use the Honkai energy conversion particle cannon that has been set up.

However, the power of the Houkai energy converter can only break the Herrscher's barrier. Mei has an idea about the technology that can convert Houkai energy, but it will take a long time before that idea can be realized. The most urgent task is to defeat this Houkai.

And how to hit the target is also a problem. Hitting a humanoid target inside the city from the edge of the city is about as difficult as using a needle to sting a mosquito.

She suddenly turned to the monitor and asked, "Can you accurately monitor the coordinates of the combatants?"

"Yes, yes... Although the communication and monitoring equipment have been interfered with, the operating principle of the monitoring signals on the combatants is different..."

"Where's Lin's signal? Can it be detected?"

"Yes, it now shows that MSA-079 is fighting the Herrscher."

"..."

Mei was silent. She already had a plan in her mind, but there was one step she had to take.

That step is about sacrifice and morality.

What she was thinking about at this moment was the meaningful smile that Mebius in a white coat gave her, and the impressive words: "Will you choose to be the enemy of mankind for a better future for mankind?"

Mei was introverted and shy at that time, but when she answered this question, she said "I do" in the most determined tone of her life.

"Kevin, do you believe me?"

This time, Mei lowered her head, letting her bangs hide her eyes.

She didn't want the white-haired boy to see that her eyes were resolute and firm. At least at this moment, she hoped that she could hesitate for even a moment, or even waver.

Kevin didn't expect Mei to ask him this question at this time. He looked at Mei who was looking down, confused: "Mei, what are you talking about?"

"Kevin, my decision now may cost Lin his life."

"..."

Something suddenly exploded in Kevin's ears, and there was a ringing in his ears. He shook his head and asked with a forced smile: "What does this mean? Why would Mei let Lin..."

"Kevin, do you believe me?"

"..."

In Kevin's memory, the girl in front of him was always shy and timid in front of other people. Only when she talked about her favorite topics related to science and philosophy, would she show an expression like an ordinary girl.

At this moment, Mei looked neither shy nor like an ordinary girl, but with a kind of determination that Kevin found somewhat familiar.

This familiarity comes from Lin.

When Lin left that day, his expression was exactly the same as Mei's now.

"Mei...should I say I believe you now?" Kevin covered his forehead, at a loss, "Is this correct, or is this what you expected?"

He was in a state of confusion. Why did he have to make the decision on such a matter? It felt like he was about to push his friend to the guillotine...
