I'm not Yingjie

This time, they appeared in a remote wilderness, which saved the trouble of evacuating the crowd.

After the initial contact, as expected, their strength was weaker than the previous mutated lower-level Honkai beast. Lin and Ying took one on each, hoping to quickly end the battle.

With a kick on the core of the Honkai beast, Lin used the reverse thrust to do a backflip to avoid the attack of the giant arm. The eyes in his helmet turned dozens of times in one second, and the speed of visual capture was even faster than the information collection speed of the helmet.

But Lin still felt it was a little strange. Although Honkai had no logic, it was not difficult to see that it was constantly increasing the strength of Honkai. The Herrscher was getting stronger and more cunning, and the types of Honkai beasts were also increasing. Logically speaking, this kind of emperor-level Honkai beast with no meaning at all should not have appeared.

However, this kind of doubt did not last long, so it is better to resolve them first.

Lin didn't even look at the giant claw that was smashing down on his head. He dodged it lightly by turning sideways, and then jumped up without any charge. The sharp long knife split the head of the Honkai Beast from bottom to top. Then he threw a collapse bomb to destroy the outer shell of the Honkai Beast, aimed at the beating core and pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

The huge monster fell to the ground, and at the same time, Sakura froze the arm of the Honkai Beast, easily cut off the huge arm, and then pierced the core of the Honkai Beast from the cross section.

"Oh!"

"call……"

Sakura stared at the motionless Honkai beast, and after confirming that Lin had also been dealt with, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Including the previous cleanup mission, she had fought two high-intensity battles in less than a day, and she felt a little tired.

And Lin didn’t seem to be tired at all. Maybe it was because he was wearing a helmet?

"...What should we do next?" Ying asked Lin. Although the Poison Pupa Squad did not have a captain, Lin's rich experience meant that Ying had to often ask him what to do.

"Someone will be specially assigned to collect the corpses of Honkai beasts, but before that we have to ensure that the corpses of Honkai beasts will not be taken away by other Honkai beasts."

"Other Honkai beasts?"

"Well, Honkai beasts are creatures that can evolve. Some of them cannibalize their own kind. After absorbing the cores and Honkai energy from other Honkai beasts, they will mutate or even evolve." Lin slowly explained the habits of this uncommon Honkai beast. "But they are all lower-level Honkai beasts. After absorbing, they will only become mutated lower-level Honkai beasts."

"……I see."

Speaking of this, Lin suddenly had some very strange feelings.

Emperor-level Honkai beasts are originally unique individuals. Even if similar Emperor-level Honkai beasts appear, there will be many differences in their abilities.

But why are these two Honkai beasts almost identical?

"Roar!"

At this moment, a ferocious howl came from the mouth of the corpse of the Honkai beast next to it.

Chapter 69: The Man of Miracles Part 8

In a flash, Lin and Ying reacted at the same time, each drawing their weapons and aiming at the core of the roaring Honkai beast.

not dead?

This is unlikely. Lin has defeated countless Honkai beasts with steady, accurate and ruthless moves. He has never failed except for the Judgment-level Honkai beast Shesha, whose trace has not been found so far. Moreover, according to later analysis, Shesha did not die completely because it had two cores. He must have completely destroyed the core of that Honkai beast.

And it was unlikely that Sakura would miss. Lin saw her final attack, which indeed destroyed the core.

Could it be that the special factor that caused the Honkai Beast to appear...

The already dead Honkai beast started moving again, but before it could stand up again, Lin shot through its supporting arm, and then Ying slashed at the shattered core of the Honkai beast again, completely cutting it in half.

"Roar……"

Seeing that this Honkai beast died again, Lin turned around and jumped onto the body of another Honkai beast, deepening the damage to its core to prevent this Honkai beast from suffering the same fate.

This time they all waited vigilantly until the two Honkai beasts stopped moving before they were completely relieved.

"Roar!"

However, a strange roar did not come from the corpse of any Honkai beast.

The ground in the gap between the two Honkai beast corpses suddenly shattered, and a huge hand grabbed the Honkai beast corpse under Sakura's feet. At the same time, the Honkai energy monitor in Lin's helmet began to flash at a high frequency.

There was also a higher-level Honkai beast—why wasn’t it detected at the beginning?

This strange phenomenon is obviously not normal.

But it was too late to think about it now. The strange power of the giant palm lifted up the huge Honkai beast, and Sakura could only move away from the corpse.

"vomit--"

A bloody mouth with fangs swallowed the corpse of the emperor-level Honkai beast, and a horrifying chewing sound was heard.

……

"Emperor-level Honkai beast? At this time?"

The information from the testing room made Kevin feel a little tricky. Not far from the Shenzhou branch, two upper-level Honkai beasts actually showed Honkai energy reactions. According to the jurisdiction of the Shenzhou branch, the first and thirteenth teams were responsible for the expedition.

But now the Shenzhou branch has just accepted Xingcai, and it has not shown any unusual movements so far, but Kevin cannot simply believe them.

What's more, the terminal of the database was destroyed. The occurrence of this abnormal phenomenon was enough to make Kevin suspect that something special would happen in the near future.

But the problem is that there are two emperor-level Honkai beasts, and a single team may not be enough to defeat them. Losing more troops during this period would be really...

"Kevin."

At this time, Mei's communication arrived and his frown relaxed. It seemed that Mei had noticed the situation of the Shenzhou branch and took command personally.

"Go and carry out the subjugation mission." Mei instructed Kevin simply and directly.

"Where is the Shenzhou branch?"

"Armed puppet."

"..."

Armed puppets?

In essence, armed puppets are autonomous weapons like Titans, and can be considered miniaturized Titans. Moreover, armed puppets are more intelligent and can indeed fill the gaps in manpower for branches that are short of troops.

However, Kevin, like everyone else, did not fully trust these small humanoid weapons and ignored their role most of the time.

"Don't worry, I'll have Prometheus II pay special attention to the situation of the Shenzhou branch." Mei also understood what Kevin was worried about. The armed puppets could only serve as a supplement. "Fifteen emperor-level Honkai beasts appeared today."

"Fifteen?!"

This number is the total number of Emperor-level Honkai Beasts that appeared in the four years from the first Honkai to the fourth Honkai. And so many Emperor-level Honkai Beasts appeared in just one day today?

"Huh... I see. Mei, pay attention to the movements in other areas and send out the Titan troops when necessary."

What he didn't know was that the sudden increase in the number of Emperor-level Honkai beasts was far more than just this.

Mei simply sorted out the reports sent back by various branches. In every area where an Emperor-level Honkai beast appeared, there would be at least two Emperor-level Honkai beasts. This could not be explained by coincidence at all.

The most special one is the Australian area, which is the area where Lin and Ying went to conquer. The two Honkai beasts there are the two with the weakest Honkai energy reactions among the Honkai beasts that appeared today, but according to the latest news... there is also an emperor-level Honkai beast hidden there.

"Controlled?" Mei tapped her fingers on the table. "But how did they do that? And by whom?"

There is no doubt that there are people behind this phenomenon, but how can they release the emperor-level Honkai beasts into a designated area? And in such a large number?

……

"Xiao Qi, it's time to set off."

Alicia stopped the girl who was walking to the cafeteria. After turning around to take a look at the weapons on Alicia's body, she thought for a moment and said, "Ally, I... am sick."

"……what?"

"Well, I'm sick, so I can't go on the mission."

Alicia was stunned for a moment, then looked the girl up and down. She looked so healthy that she looked like she could kill a cow with one punch. How could she be sick?

"What disease?"

"Stomach problems."

Alicia looked at the direction the girl was going to, and after confirming that there was only the cafeteria there, she nodded hesitantly: "Okay..."

Unexpectedly, the excuse she used to deal with Mei is now used by others to deal with her. Although she doesn't know why the girl doesn't want to go on the mission, Alicia still chooses to believe her and ask her why after she comes back.

The girl calmly watched Alicia's back disappear, then walked into the cafeteria, ordered two large bowls of noodles, and after finishing them in less than three minutes, she sat in the cafeteria.

Alicia and Kevin both went on a mission, and the Shenzhou branch suddenly became empty, with only armed puppets patrolling around. However, the small and cute armed puppets were not annoying at all.

The girl didn't move at all. She was like a robot that had lost its battery, not making any movement.

She is waiting.

What are you waiting for?

I don’t know. Only she can see the picture in her helmet, and it is unknown what is displayed on it.

But the only thing we know is that she is not as casual as before.

"Tick tock..."

The cafeteria clock struck a quarter of an hour.

The girl stood up, and the moment she left the cafeteria, her figure disappeared into thin air.

The timing has to be right.

It can't be early, nor can it be late.

A blurry figure crawled across the ceiling of the Shenzhou branch corridor and finally stopped in front of a room.

Xingcai's room when she came to inspect the Shenzhou branch.

Chapter 70: The Man of Miracles Part 9

"Record, the eleventh collapse, recorder, Lin. Time, 20XX."

"The eleventh Honkai has ended, the world's population has shrunk to less than one million, and there are only ten bases left for the surviving humans. I never thought that the consequences of humans abusing Honkai would be..."

After the man finished recording the video, which lasted for more than an hour, he sealed it in the database.

He then reprogrammed the information in a form that was more easily disseminated so that it could be unsealed after other civilizations were born on Earth.

After he finished doing all this, he stared at the damage caused by the collapse on the screen in silence.

Humanity can't hold on any longer.

This is not the lament of a pessimist, but a simple judgment shared by him and the rest of humankind.

Just two major collapses reduced the human population from over one billion to less than one million. The difference in numbers was so despairing that people wanted to commit suicide.

Perhaps it was the pressure of survival that completely crushed humanity. After the eleventh collapse, those who had already become numb suffered mental breakdowns one after another in the headquarters.

Humanity is completely extinct within a century?

Before the collapse, I'm afraid everyone would think this is a joke.

"Dr. Lin, the evil cult with collapsed beliefs seems to be rising again in the third base..." The person on the communication line sounded particularly tired.

"Arrest all members."

He sat down on the chair with a heavy heart, emptying his mind and thinking about nothing.

In a container not far away was the core of this Herrscher, which he had not had time to store.

The man's eyes fell on the core with complicated expressions.

"Are you all destined to become the killers of Honkai? Is there no possibility of this happening?"

He calculated the probability of the special Herrscher he imagined appearing.

That infinitesimal probability, with so many zeros after the decimal point that it makes one's scalp tingle, is enough to discourage anyone from even thinking about it.

"You who were once human, are you really no longer able to feel any emotions?"

……

"Let Lin out! Why can he watch others die in the safest place! Why can he survive!"

In the third base, a riot broke out due to the belief in the Honkai Cult. The guard troops quickly suppressed the riot and arrested the cult members who caused the riot.

But what they never expected was that in addition to the riots instigated by the cult, some ordinary people were also involved.

The squad leader of the unit stood grimly in front of the roaring civilians, his face as hard as stone facing them, and his hoarse voice made an unpleasant sound: "If you don't want to be arrested, go back."

"Who are you? Shouldn't we humans have equal rights? Why do you have more resources, while that guy named Lin can stay there safe and sound? And how many people died because of Honkai energy erosion, but he can survive by replacing his body with that thing called soul steel..."

"I say it again, shut up and go back to where you belong."

"you……"
