I'm not Yingjie

The Sixth Herrscher heard laughter, all kinds of laughter, coming from those light particles, as if there were many people in them.

“It is the light gathered by countless predecessors who never left their names. It can never appear in the light, but will only exist forever in the endless darkness.”

“It may not be able to illuminate this darkness, but it will surely guide the way forward for those who come after it when they need it.”

Lin loosened his grip, and the light particles gathered in his hand, transforming into a broad sword blade.

Such a dull blade can't cut anything.

But it is the only existence that cannot be swallowed by the darkness. It is only in Lin's hands, protecting him as he stands in the darkness.

"I don't need to be anyone. I am just a human being, an unknown person, and that's all."

Lin's sword pointed at the face of the Sixth Herrscher, who had completely collapsed.

"And you are truly nothing."

"Neither a soul nor a Herrscher."

"You have no name and you will not be remembered."

Chapter 111: Race against time

"You're crazy! If I die now, you will die too. This time, you won't be lucky enough to keep your consciousness alive in that area!"

The Sixth Herrscher, whose psychological defenses were broken, roared hysterically at Lin, her eyes filled with both uncontrollable anger and incomprehensible confusion.

She is the closest to human among all the Herrschers in history. She doesn't understand why Lin always makes such choices, why Kevin and Alicia would choose to shoot even though they would be sad about Lin's death, and why humans always perform fearless feats.

No matter how much she resembles a human being, she is inhuman and cannot understand all this.

"Listen carefully, Lin. Even if this body is destroyed, I can still live in the Herrscher Core. But your consciousness as a human being will sooner or later be eroded by Honkai and disappear, or become a new Herrscher consciousness."

"If you don't interfere with me, I can keep your consciousness from being eroded, and coexist with me in this body. I can even use the power of creation to create a new container for you that is more perfect than your previous body, a body that will not be eroded by Honkai energy and has Honkai energy adaptability that exceeds that of humans!"

"Do you understand? You and I are one now, so you are also a Herrscher. Even if I separate you, I won't kill you. Think about it, Lin. Do you really want to give up everything for those people who have never done anything for you?"

The Sixth Herrscher gave a forced smile and opened her arms as if she wanted to welcome Lin who was holding the sword. She showed her kindness to Lin with the most peaceful smile in her memory.

"In comparison, I will be better to you, right? Soul's consciousness is integrated with me, there is not much difference between me and her, so I can understand you."

Faint fluorescence lit up Lin's face, and the words of the Sixth Herrscher got stuck in her throat. She stared at an inconspicuous particle of light flying out of the sword, and a soulful laugh emanated from it.

She is nothing.

These words echoed in her mind again. Even though she couldn't understand these emotions without any source, they didn't stop her consciousness from wavering.

“Do you really have to fight me to the death? Aren’t the conditions I offer generous enough? Just because of... these people?” The Sixth Herrscher stared at the free-flying light particles, then shifted his gaze to Lin’s face, which was as pale as ice.

A man with a gentle face, but extremely sharp when he looked at her.

"..."

Lin didn't even bother to talk to her. He seemed to be mocking the Sixth Herrscher with his signature silence.

A human wants to die, a Herrscher wants to live.

"Then we'll see."

The Sixth Herrscher's expression finally cooled down, and she waved her hand, and a sickle appeared in her hand.

"bass!"

The sword and the sickle crossed each other, making golden sounds, and they clashed in this space of consciousness.

……

The Sixth Herrscher appeared a few hundred meters away. She lowered her head to glance at the wounds on her body, which showed no signs of healing. Kevin and Alicia had already noticed her presence and chased after her.

Lin must be dealt with first, but such a short time is not enough for her to defeat Lin's consciousness. His dead-like willpower makes it almost impossible to defeat him on the spiritual level. The only way is to keep eroding him and consume him bit by bit.

So the Sixth Herrscher began to move towards the Fifth Branch, avoiding the attacks of the two people behind him.

Because the use of power is restricted and may very likely lead to the opposite of what one wants, from now on she will no longer use the power of withering and creation.

She could just attack with Honkai energy, and Lin seemed unable to interfere with this part, so when flying, she would occasionally shoot some condensed beams of Honkai energy behind her to slow down their pace.

There was no back-and-forth fighting, only humans chasing after the Herrscher who was unable to use his abilities. The speed of this trip was comparable to the speed of the Sixth Herrscher flying in a straight line to the sky above Changkong City, but in just a few minutes, he returned to the city where the Fifth Branch was located amidst the attacks of bullets and Honkai energy.

The city was in a tragic state. The Sixth Herrscher had no interest in watching it, but she noticed that as she left the city and the amount of Honkai energy continued to be consumed, no new dead soldiers and Honkai beasts were born, and almost two-thirds of the original Honkai creatures had been cleared out by the Titans and soldiers.

In other words, the Fifth Branch now has enough troops to deal with her and the giant tree.

After discovering the body of the porcupine, the Sixth Herrscher dodged the beam of light behind him with a dive, then used the Honkai energy gathered in his hands to smash the monitor of the Titan that was guarding it with a punch and landed next to the porcupine.

Ignoring the stunned soldiers, she plunged her consciousness into her body and used all her strength to drive the power of creation.

"Wow~"

A large branch grew out of her arm, and the weight instantly crushed her. This was Lin's way of interfering with the operation of power, but the Sixth Herrscher did not care about it. Lin could do something that seriously affected her combat effectiveness, but he could not really stop her from using power.

Just like he could use the power of creation to stop her black fog, but he couldn't directly prevent her from releasing the black fog.

With the use of power, the porcupine, which had been lifeless, stood up again in the horrified gaze of everyone, but it did not howl, nor did it have the human-like intelligence as before. Its eyes were dull, just like an ordinary Honkai beast.

It was just a corpse. Even the Sixth Herrscher, who controlled life and death, could not completely resurrect a living being. But there was no reason why she could not do such a simple thing as making something that was already dead move again.

Its combat capability will decline compared to when it was alive, and it no longer possesses intelligence, but it is still stronger than an ordinary Honkai beast.

The Sixth Herrscher waved his hand, and the porcupine shrank into a ball, rolling on the ground, and crashed into the defense line of the soldiers who were taking a break with an earth-shaking crash.

"boom--"

The terrifyingly lethal needles instantly opened up a bloody path, and after rolling for a distance, the porcupine, without any self-protection, was knocked to the ground by the other two Titans, and its abdomen and limbs were completely blown apart, leaving it unable to move.

But enough is enough.

The Sixth Herrscher glanced at Kevin who had caught up with him. His bullets seemed to have eyes, and each one was shot accurately at her body.

He opened the shield, but it failed to completely block the bullets, leaving several bullet holes on the skin of his feet.

It was Lin who was causing trouble. She could only use phase transfer again. This device, which could not be used continuously, made some discordant noises under her forced manipulation. It seemed that it had reached the limit of its operation.

The Sixth Herrscher appeared not far away. She rushed in through the blood path she had opened up, and then used a high concentration of Honkai energy to instantly break through the tattered defense system of the Fifth Branch that had been attacked by the Honkai beasts, and entered the interior.

The red in her eyes ignited ferociously.

Where is Lin's body?

Chapter 112 Resurrection

Because Kevin and Alicia had already informed the Fifth Branch in advance while on the way to catch up, the members of the Fifth Branch had already evacuated to the cleared area in advance under the protection of Himiko. However, they did not expect the Sixth Herrscher to arrive so quickly, so Himiko has not been able to get back yet.

After entering the Fifth Branch, the Sixth Herrscher began to frantically search for Lin's body. She couldn't defeat him on the spiritual level, so she decided to find an easier way.

A method she had already used.

Since Lin's consciousness can be transferred to the Herrscher's core, he can certainly be driven out, and this action requires a container that can also accommodate consciousness.

The Sixth Herrscher also considered using the power of creation to create a weak body, but on the one hand, Lin's interference with the power of creation was particularly serious, and she could not create a body that could accommodate consciousness. On the other hand, consciousness also has the concept of compatibility, which is why she always has the upper hand in her body except for the blessing of Honkai.

If you want to drive him out successfully, it is best to use his original body. This is equivalent to an animal's ability to instinctively identify which of two similar habitats is its regular residence.

Even if Lin wanted to stay in the Herrscher Core, he couldn't make the decision due to the dual effects of the Herrscher Core's repulsion and his original body's attraction.

After he returned to that body that would collapse at the slightest gust of wind, she had hundreds of ways to kill him again.

"I remember they said they would send them back to the Fifth Branch." The Sixth Herrscher heard the noise of soldiers attacking the Fifth Branch. She had to speed up her search for the bodies. Logically speaking, even if the Fifth Branch personnel retreated, they would not take any extra things with them. There was no point in transporting the bodies to a safe place, so the bodies should still be in the Fifth Branch.

No one obstructed her, and the Sixth Lawrence was extremely sensitive to living things and corpses. She quickly found a room on one of the floors where a large number of corpses were stored. The sound of pursuit was getting closer and closer. She did not hesitate to break through the door and came to this room with a strong smell of death.

"..."

The bodies covered with white cloth were placed on the stage one by one. In this room that didn't look like it was just for storing bodies, only two bodies were not covered completely. "

One was the body of the Speaker and the other was Lin's body.

They were the only two corpses that had not had time to extract the serum, and all the remaining corpses were patients who had suffered from and died from Honkai disease.

In addition to this, there is a "person" standing among these fallen bodies.

Prometheus used her icy face that had never melted to block Lin's body.

The Sixth Herrscher didn't want to waste time talking to her. He punched through the power reactor in Prometheus' chest and her arm that was blocking her, then threw the completely destroyed Prometheus aside.

Before the system went into hibernation, Prometheus pointed a finger at Lin's pale face.

"Snapped."

The Sixth Herrscher's fingers, which had amazing grip strength, grabbed the corpse's neck with their slender and powerful fingers. She wanted to crush the body on the spot, but not only could she not do that, she also had to work hard to restore the corpse to a state where consciousness could return to life.

Establishing a connection with the power of creation in her body, she carefully used her ability to restore Lin's body, which had been damaged beyond recognition.

This guy's body... was it in this state when he hurt her?

The inside of Lin's body was in a worse state than it looked from the outside. All his organs had shrunk to the point of losing their normal functions, his nerves had been burned to almost nothing by a drug, and most importantly, his heart had been corroded by Honkai energy to the point where it was no longer recognizable as a human heart. It looked more like a deformed and swollen tumor formed by the combination of venom and Honkai energy.

When she used the power of creation, a sharp branch sprang out from under her feet and pierced the corpse's head with lightning speed.

However, the Sixth Herrscher had already prevented this from happening. She moved the corpse away to avoid the stab, and then restored some of Lin's organs, reaching a state where they could barely function normally, but were only a breath away from necrosis.

This is about right.

"Oh!"

Kevin jumped onto this floor and fired a shot at the Sixth Herrscher without even looking. The shot directly pierced one-third of the Sixth Herrscher's neck, but she smiled strangely, grabbed Lin's body with one hand, and activated the phase transfer with the other hand.

"If I kill him again, what will your expressions be?"

Kevin could only watch the Sixth Herrscher and his corpse disappear into the lonely room, the mocking voice echoing in his ears.

……

"I said, we'll see."

The Sixth Herrscher stood in front of Lin, whose figure was fading, with a sneer on her face. She stuck her sickle into the ground and knelt on one knee. She didn't look any better, but the sneer on her face didn't change at all.

Thanks to Kevin and the others for damaging his body to the point where his consciousness began to leave his body. It would be easier for his consciousness to be separated in the gap. Here, Lin's consciousness would be attracted by his body and repelled by the Herrscher's core, and would return to that body.

After she gets out, she can use the power of creation to heal her body's injuries without restraint, so even a near-death injury is nothing to her.

Compared to this matter, she wanted to see how exciting it would be to see Lin return to his dying body and still be helpless after going out.

Everything he did was in vain, his life was meaningless, and using such results to prove that what he said was right was the most powerful evidence to refute him.

"For me, who controls life and death, it is very simple to want you to die or to want you to live. Human, enjoy the last time you can feel this world."

"..."

However, what annoyed her was that Lin acted as if he didn't hear her words and persisted in disturbing her control over power at this last moment.

"Humanity……"

"You don't have control over life and death. You just use a highly efficient killing method to kill people, and you can't revive any creatures, including your followers." Lin calmly chopped her chest with a sword, and the Sixth Herrscher's ideological embodiment collapsed. He said indifferently, "The so-called control over life and death is just a special ability in a different form. The only difference between you and the previous Herrscher is that you talk a lot."

"So many that I'm getting a little impatient."

The blatant ridicule made the Sixth Herr's Ruler even more furious.

The Sixth Herrscher, who should have broken down his psychological defenses, was mocked by him instead. She herself did not even notice that her consciousness had begun to decline as her mentality wavered.

"Hmph, there is no point in talking any more, human. Your death is coming."

The Sixth Herrscher picked up his sickle to block the blade of light, and then pushed forward to expel him from his Herrscher core towards his original body that was attracting him.

Chapter 113 The Last Bullet

The long-lost... no, it shouldn't have been long before the feeling of weakness burst out from the depths of his consciousness again. The moment Lin left the gap, he returned to his body and coughed up a mouthful of familiar purple-green blood. He felt his heart beating weakly, which was the melody of life.

He was resurrected, or rather, his consciousness returned to his body.

"Oh!"

Both figures fell to the ground. Without even giving themselves time to adjust, they stood up at the same time, grabbed their weapons and rushed towards each other.

"Oh!"

A big hole was knocked out from the inside of the building of the fifth branch, and Lin flew out in the wall fragments. He threw away the dagger at the last moment, grabbed the edge of the broken wall and stopped, and fell to the next floor.

The moment he fell, black mist surged over his head.

When Lin fell into the next level, it was the serum room where the Sixth Herrscher had taken him into the phase shift.
