I'm not Yingjie

"...This is really...crazy." Einstein rubbed her messy hair. She stared at the report Mei gave her with her eyes wide open. "The consciousness in the Herrscher's core is gone?"

The core of the Ruler of Reason that was unearthed from the ruins of a previous civilization disappeared from the core after arriving at the headquarters.

Neither she nor Mei could possibly believe that the Herrscher's consciousness would completely dissipate on the way back to the headquarters after tens of millions of years. Whether the Herrscher's consciousness would completely die is still a question to be discussed.

Then there is only one possibility.

The Herrscher's consciousness escaped.

"Impossible. How could she leave the core without a body?" Einstein bit her coffee spoon, her brain working rapidly, "Transportation personnel? Armed puppets?"

The two most likely options come to mind.

"I have checked all the armed puppets and transport personnel at the time, and I can confirm that they were not invaded by the Herrscher's consciousness."

"..."

The discussion reached a deadlock. Since the Herrscher's consciousness did not leave with the help of these people's bodies, where would it be?

They must find the Herrscher's consciousness as soon as possible. Even if she leaves the Herrscher's core, she will not be able to use her powers, at least she will not be able to use powers close to miracles like when she was in the core. But no matter what, she is the consciousness of an absolute monster with an anti-human personality.

"Wait a minute...what if she didn't escape using the ready-made body?" Einstein had a bold guess in his mind at this time.

It was discovered along with the Herrscher Core, but there was another thing worth noting.

Mei pulled up the Soul Steel storage data after hearing this. She glanced at it and asked calmly, "Dr. Einstein, what was the mass of the Soul Steel when you discovered it?"

Einstein gave a number.

Mei was silent.

And Einstein also confirmed from her silence that his guess was correct.

Soul steel is a metal that has high plasticity under special conditions. Even if some of its mass is missing, the remaining parts can be used to mold the same shape.

When Einstein first discovered Soul Steel and when it was finally contained, some of the Soul Steel's mass was missing.

This part is just... the mass of an ordinary human being.

"I think I know who it is."

Mei pushed up her glasses.

"You know...wait a minute, you mean, you've actually been suspecting someone for a long time?"

"Rather than suspicion, it's just looking for evidence to lock on."

"Then why don't you hurry up..."

"I'm already experimenting on her."

Mei smiled, but her smile was devoid of any warmth.

……

"The Herrscher should be the natural enemy of mankind."

"Do you want humans to discover your plan?"

"If I tell you my plan, you might tell the humans." Xingcai's voice seemed to vibrate in the air. "So, reject it."

"..."

The girl naturally knew that it was not realistic to question Xingcai's purpose in this way.

But it was Xingcai’s logic that she wanted to test.

"My next move will depend on your purpose. If your purpose does not conflict with mine, I will not tell humans and will assist you."

After hearing this sentence, Xingcai started a round of logical thinking.

This creature with a human appearance is not a human. According to human data, she has a high overlap with the Herrscher, and there are also some similarities between the Herrscher and Constellation.

Soon, when the logic led to the conclusion that the Herrscher was the enemy of humanity, the conclusion emerged.

"I understand. Next, I will tell you the purpose of my plan."

The girl's pretty face beneath the helmet revealed a disdainful smile, as if she had already anticipated the intelligence level of these alien races.

However, she felt that there was something "abnormal" in what Xingcai said just now.

"My plan".

Why "my"? This cannot be a slip of the tongue caused by the cognitive differences between alien civilizations and human civilizations.

Could it be that it has its own personal agenda that goes against the race?

No... It's impossible for a race like this, for which logic is the root of everything, to have differences of opinion.

Differences of opinion?

The girl suddenly understood why it used the word "my plan" to refer to an individual.

They... from the very beginning, are both a "whole" and an "individual".

"My purpose is..."

If we say that the thinking of a race is calculated using a set of logic, then after abandoning their original bodies, they gather their thoughts together and condense into a huge and indivisible whole, and that whole is also each individual star.

Then, the stars that humans have seen so far are probably just...

"Xingcai" is just a puppet controlled by the alien subject's consciousness.

From the beginning, there was only one "Star".

"Seize the Earth's resources and the Herrscher Cores that humans possess, and turn the separated individual human consciousnesses into a whole."

For this kind of civilization, one is all, and all is one. At the same time, they will also make the most "basic" judgment on human beings, a civilization with obvious individual differences.

Let humans become the same form of existence.

"If humans refuse, I will summon the planetary-level Honkai beasts from the Centauri galaxy."

"Destroy this planet."

There was no mercy or emotion at all, as if it was just a mechanical god delivering the will.

At this moment, the girl also realized that Xingcai was not an "alien civilization" that left its homeland, but had a strong purpose of invasion, colonization and assimilation...

Alien invaders.

Chapter 75 Begins

Sakura's skills are among the best among the Fire Moths. After experiencing large-scale collapses time and time again and having soldiers replaced batch after batch, there are not many people who can compete with this female killer who joined not long ago.

But that is only at the "top of humanity".

It has been mentioned before that even the large, clumsy-looking Honkai beasts can be as fast as a sedan with the accelerator pressed to the floor. With just a wave of their hands and a move, mountains can collapse and the earth can crack. Humans are almost incomparable to them, and fighting with them relies more on "experience."

What Sakura lacks is the "experience" of fighting large monsters with strange abilities.

"Oh!"

After using the hook to grab Sakura who was about to be crushed into meat paste, Lin grabbed Sakura's arm with one hand. Her originally strong hand muscles were so weak now, more like a girl's hand than ever before. A large area of ​​burned skin fell off half of her cheek.

Sakura had reacted and tried to dodge, but was still hit by the attack.

Heart rate, blood pressure, organs...

Lin quickly checked Ying's condition. The situation was not optimistic and she needed immediate treatment.

While dodging the attack of the Honkai beast, he decisively took out a syringe, stabbed it into Sakura's neck, then swung out the grappling hook and quickly retreated.

The outdated equipment such as the grappling hook should have been eliminated. The constantly improved high-maneuverability jet device is faster in short distances and can fly in the air for a short time, but Lin still asked the R&D department to add it when making new armor for him. For him, keeping a backup plan has become a habit.

For now, it is right to keep it.

Lin instantly put some distance between himself and the Honkai beast and landed next to their transport plane. It was too late for him to take off from this distance, so he had to find a place to place Sakura and then defeat the Honkai beast.

"Oh!"

The tentacles waved towards Lin, he jumped away, and the transport plane next to him was split into two.

wrong……

This Honkai beast, is it deliberately destroying the transport plane?

Although Lin didn't notice it at first, he now found that this Honkai beast was not as frenzied as the other Honkai beasts. It calmly hid underground and attacked and devoured the two emperor-level Honkai beasts, targeting the inexperienced Ying first and destroying their tools for escape...

And the method of flexibly using different abilities to combine and attack...

Lin's eyes darkened.

……

These... no, this starlight, it is not some exile who escaped because its mother planet was contaminated by Honkai energy, it is a genuine planet plunderer.

This kind of race with collective consciousness has a strong purpose to assimilate other races. After completing the racial transformation, the only thing that remains is the desire to continue their race, so they abandon their emotions and begin to invade other planets.

It may not be able to match its military power in terms of space-time technology, but it is enough to make it difficult for humans to resist. All it has to do is to get everything on Earth with the least loss.

Starting from the Fire Moth, the leading organization of mankind, they slowly infiltrated and transformed mankind step by step, making the Earth a starry planet from the inside out.

As for the collapse... Having already experienced the collapse of civilization once, it has sufficient experience in dealing with it. The only thing it cannot control is the Herrscher, a Honkai creature that has never appeared in the collapse of its home planet, so the Herrscher core must also be obtained.

And currently, it seems that the Herrscher can communicate.

However, when coincidences come together, common sense and inference will be broken.

"Is this what a creature that has abandoned emotions looks like now..." the girl murmured as she slowly stood up.

"The existence of the stars is superior to that of humans. The uncertainty of emotions will lead to..."

"bass!"

The star's body instantly split into two.

The azure visual window quietly watched Xingcai's body fall. She knew that even if this individual died, it would not have any impact on Xingcai's collective consciousness.

The true form of the Starry Creatures will not be revealed due to death, and their combat capabilities will be much weaker when they have not shed their shells.

Therefore, the girl's unexpected sneak attacks had excellent effects both times.

"..."

So what to do next?

The girl looked at the blurry corpse coldly. Even if she left it alone, it would be difficult for anyone to find it.

But she was thinking about something else.

Should I tell other humans? Although my identity would be exposed, considering my behavior, at most I would be isolated for observation and research.

So, want to say it?

Lin's face flashed before his eyes.

Do not……

For some psychological reason that she herself couldn't explain, she felt reluctant to reveal her identity. Even when she woke up in the first era, she didn't feel this much resistance.

……

The ground fell on Sakura, and she woke up in a daze. The tearing pain in her body made her spirits excited as soon as she woke up.

The rolling clouds, the scene captured by the confused brain is like an afterimage of the night with the sky torn apart.

The smell of heat and burning came into her nose, and she couldn't tell whether it came from her body or the surrounding environment.

"Boom!"

Something shook the ground like a small earthquake, and after a heavy thud, everything fell silent.

what happens?

Her memory was still stuck on Lin's hurried command and the purple lightning that suddenly shot onto Tang's body. Her memory was interrupted at that time, but it did not prevent her from guessing what happened afterwards.

She fainted, and Lin would probably choose to fight the Honkai beast to protect her.

So...is the battle...over now?

Sakura was right, the battle was indeed over.

Lin fell to his knees on the ground. He didn't even have the strength to breathe. His injuries were even worse than Sakura's. Everything from his left hand to his left shoulder was missing. Those were the parts that were bitten off and devoured by the Honkai beast.

This Honkai beast has three cores.
