"I-I brought a seed with me, too."

"Well, let's plant it together."

They placed the seeds next to the thing, then covered it with soil again and hurriedly fetched water with buckets woven from leaves to water the small slope.

She felt a cool breeze.

Are they watering her?

"That's good! This is where we planted the seeds. Be sure to come and visit often in the future!"

……

She seemed to be able to see part of the memory, but she was not sure whether it was her memory or someone else's.

Only in her consciousness, some "thing" was forcing her to feel nothing, like a puppet.

But she was actually looking forward to it.

She looked forward to the two children coming to water her plants every week. Today was their regular weekly time to come and play.

But today, it seems a little late.

"..."

"..."

It has been several years since they first came here.

She didn't have much concept of time, but she had discovered from the changes in the two children's voices that they could actually no longer be called "children."

"I'm...going to join the army."

"...What a coincidence, I want to go too."

"Haha, don't lie, you don't have to follow me. If my father is gone, there will be nothing in my family. You still have two brothers."

"We have never been apart since we were young."

"Then there is no need to go to the battlefield."

She couldn't understand what they were saying.

But she could tell that their tone no longer had the innocence it once had.

"How long have those three seeds been planted?"

"It's been a few years, and it hasn't sprouted yet."

“In fact, it’s impossible to grow it?”

“Haha… that’s right.”

"..."

"..."

"I'm leaving."

"Bon Voyage."

……

She couldn't understand what kind of feelings they were talking about.

Just like she couldn't understand why they planted the seeds at that time and made an appointment to water them every week.

However, after one person leaves, another person will still come here on time and pour a bucket of water.

The remaining person started a family after the other person left. Every time he came here, he would talk to himself, as if he was talking to another person.

Then, one day, that person didn't come anymore.

……

"It's been so many years..."

The old voice made her regain consciousness.

She seemed to recognize that the voice sounded familiar.

It's the one left.

“The fruit trees still haven’t been planted.”

“No one is coming yet.”

A bucket of water was poured on her head.

Her dazed, blank consciousness, at this moment, for some reason, was coming into contact with that indescribable huge memory.

"At that time, no matter how much water you pour, you won't be able to grow a tree."

"It's just that whether it will take root or not doesn't seem to be important..."

"It's just that we've planted something, which gives us a reason to come here together."

"..."

“Hey, can you hear me? If you can hear me, please sprout and grow into a beautiful tree.”

The man left these words.

Then she heard no more.

……

This was just a breath in her long waiting process, which lasted tens of millions of years.

She only got a glimpse of a small part of the two children's childhood to old age, and she had no idea what exactly happened to them or their complete lives.

However, these are just tiny parts. During the whole process of her waiting, countless people passed by her.

Their lives appeared in her ears so calmly and faded away so calmly.

Until one day, she wanted to go and see what those people were like.

She wanted to become one of those ordinary people who passed away in time.

Then the seeds sprouted.

And after countless time passed again.

The water that was poured finally made the tender sprouts grow into big trees.

Chapter 89: The Cunning One

Using human bodies to fight against the law maker sounds like a fantasy. In the minds of countless people, it is like hitting a rock with an egg or trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.

...but it's not completely impossible.

Lin has a record of conquering the Herrscher alone many times. Although he was not successful every time, every time was enough to shock people.

Now that Kevin has surpassed Lin in terms of hard power, he naturally has the ability to defeat the Herrscher. What's more, the girl is just a flawed Herrscher without a Herrscher Core and with less than 1% of her power.

The only uncertainty is that the girl might take out weapons from previous civilizations.

The most special thing about being the Ruler of Reason is that her power exemplifies what it means to become stronger when facing a stronger opponent. She can perfectly reproduce the technology that humans possess only by analyzing its structure.

The girl is the last Herrscher of the previous civilization. At the end of the previous civilization, their technology had reached its peak, but this also led to the Herrscher of Reason using their technological power to destroy them.

Comparing the technological level, there is no doubt that the previous civilization had already utilized soul steel to the extreme, far surpassing the current Fire Moth.

"bass!"

After just one encounter, Kevin's weapon was cut in half. It was not a problem of material or impact point, but simply because he was crushed by the cutting technology used in the opponent's weapon.

Kevin fired continuously with the gun in his other hand, and a shield like water ripples appeared in front of the girl. The kinetic energy of the bullet disappeared directly after passing through and fell to the ground.

Kevin stepped back warily. He pulled out another knife. This knife used the same technique as the knife in Sakura's hand that could emit cold air. But before he could draw his knife, an icy path suddenly extended out under the girl's feet.

In desperation, Kevin and Kosmo could only dodge.

With faster and more convenient technology, she doesn't even need to reproduce more lethal weapons. The common equipment of the previous civilization, Meteor's Passing, is enough to give them a hard time.

But after forcing them back, the girl did not take any further action. She stood there, staring at them quietly, as if saying with her eyes: "Will you get out of the way?"

But how could Kevin and his friends possibly trust a Herrscher? The Sixth Herrscher's highly anthropomorphic performance and cunning character had been deeply engraved in their hearts, and her brutality and killing of countless civilians were enough to prove that humans should not have even the slightest expectation of a Herrscher.

They are just monsters in human form.

Now that the girl has obtained the core of the Herrscher of Reason, with the technological level of the previous civilization she possesses, her lethality far exceeds that of any Herrscher of the current civilization. It is like handing the detonator button to her, waiting for her to blow humanity up.

"Can you give up your resistance and let us monitor you? If you are truly a special case among Herrschers, then I believe humans will definitely accept you, even if it takes some time..."

Kosmo rarely showed his emotions. He was far from being as extremely distrustful of Honkai as Kevin. He had his own principles.

Good and evil are separated and cannot be negotiated.

It had nothing to do with the collapse. All he saw was that the girl did nothing evil. She was on good terms with him and they even ate cheap instant noodles together in the room.

She helped to defeat the Emperor-level Honkai beasts, and now she is begging them to let her help humans.

Should he believe it?

He himself doesn't know, so he wants to let time give him the answer.

Since the girl has not harmed humans in the past few months, she will be monitored from now on, for one year, ten years, fifty years... Even if she is under human surveillance for her entire life and has no freedom, this is already the best way for humans to get along with her.

Being young, he was pursuing the best of both worlds.

"Kosmo." Kevin frowned. He wanted to scold Kosmo, but after seeing his determined expression, he swallowed back the harsh words.

He was also curious about what the girl would do.

But no matter what, he was ready to fight.

"... Xingcai's ships are wandering outside the Earth. Their presence may attract other alien civilizations at any time. By then, humans may face an enemy far more terrifying than Honkai." The girl sighed, and the weapon in her hand disappeared. "And humans are simply unable to resist Xingcai. The assimilation they pursue is to grind down the individual and return to the 'pollution' of the whole."

"They are just another form of Honkai. The reason they haven't attacked humans yet is that they want to take humans into their possession with minimal losses. Once the concept of humans disappears, Honkai will stop, and they won't have to deal with Honkai."

She looked at Kevin and said, "Those emperor-level Honkai beasts are nothing more than ordinary Starlights, and numbers mean nothing to them."

"Those emperor-level Honkai beasts..."

With the girl's reminder, Kevin gradually understood where those emperor-level Honkai beasts that looked abnormal in every way came from.

"As long as they decide to attack humans, the stars lurking in the human world will begin a large-scale attack. The number of stars in the Shenzhou region alone is at least no less than a thousand."

One thousand emperor-level Honkai beasts appeared in Shenzhou at the same time. Even though these emperor-level Honkai beasts were far inferior to ordinary upper-level Honkai beasts, they had already surpassed the level of lower-level Honkai beasts and would cause a devastating blow to human society.

"Even if humans survive the Xingcai attack, they will send a signal to the planetary-level Honkai beast in the Centauri system and attract it to the solar system. By then, humans will be completely unable to resist."

"Only after I retrieve the Herrscher core and recreate the strongest weapon of the previous civilization at full power, can I destroy the extraterrestrial Star Color Consciousness Collective."

When Xingcai told humans the information about the planetary-level Honkai beast, she was already prepared for a follow-up threat.

To be assimilated or to be destroyed?

So, the fate of mankind actually rests on a Herrscher?

"...I can't trust the Herrscher."

"I also know that humans cannot trust Herrschers, but I hope I can be an example..." The girl smiled easily, "If there is another 'special' Herrscher like me born after me, then please take good care of her."

Kevin said coldly: "You can't leave here."

"You can't stop me."

"You know what I'm talking about."

"..." The girl suddenly closed her mouth.

Kevin had already seen that her ability had been weakened to a pitiful level. She had just reproduced at least three types of equipment from previous civilizations, but each one was reproduced after disbanding the previous one.

That is, she cannot maintain a large amount of complex technology at the same time.

This explains why she didn't reproduce the flying device of the previous civilization to leave here by herself, but instead borrowed a transport plane.

And where there are limitations...there are also solutions.

But, he also did not see the cunning that flashed across the girl's clear eyes.
