I already said this is not a life simulator!

Reality... is unavoidable and needs to be faced, so he must not escape.

Everything about Xi Wang shows that he... has become a [Herrserker], or is about to become a [Herrserker], and he has already prepared himself to face the fate of being [conquered].

And he...should also respect and should also...give him relief.

At least, Eden and Sakura must not see this.

As for the guilt that follows...let him bear it himself.

"…That's great. That's like you, Kevin."

Xiwang was stunned for a moment, but then responded with a smile... In Xiwang's eyes, Kevin at this moment and Kevin in his "memory"... their figures somewhat overlap.

However, when looking at Kevin's eyes, there was still some disappointment.

Because... Kevin still chose... [Herrser] instead of [Human] in his view of him.

Well, it's no wonder. After all, all the signs now indicate that he is a Herrscher. Even if he claims to be a human, it's probably hard for anyone to believe him, right?

But... the fire... [Heavenly Fire Judgment]... it's really bad.

Huhu——

It was the sound of burning flames... As if he was worried that he would hesitate again, as if he was worried that he would regret it, Kevin... swung out a very swift attack.

"Hey——!!!"

[Blood relatives! Danger! ]

Then, unsurprisingly, he aroused Skadi's hostility.

“…Ha~”

However, Xi Wang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly.

Skadi’s mind was mostly on Kevin, so she only noticed that Kevin launched an attack, but she didn’t realize... although this attack apparently covered Xiwang, it was actually aimed at it, at Skadi.

Kevin...still wants to destroy the most powerful "evidence" first.

That’s right... Kevin didn’t go through so many things this time. Too many things were handled for him by other people.

The "Sixth Herrscher" and the "Seventh Herrscher" were defeated by Qianjie, so Kevin did not suffer a serious blow in his heart, nor did he fall into deep remorse for killing his former colleagues with his own hands... He did not kill Hen in the "Ninth Herrscher"...

His heart was not as cold as it had been "before".

That’s great, as expected...this time, I have changed something.

Xiwang smiled happily.

Then, Xiwang would manipulate the sea water to block the attack for Skadi... and also stop Skadi from counterattacking.

Sigh... Really, it's really troublesome to be caught between the two ~ isn't it?

However, Kevin's action was too fast, so fast that many people found it difficult to understand the true meaning, or simply failed to expect that Kevin, a guy who has always been very upright, would make such a "smart" move.

"What are you doing?! Kevin?!"

A figure quickly fell from the aircraft that had not yet completely landed, accompanied by a slightly anxious shout.

Immediately, Xi Wang saw a figure standing in front of him.

That is a mark.

The people on the aircraft couldn't hear clearly what Xiwang and Kevin were saying, but just from the picture, they could still tell that Xiwang was protecting the Honkai beast, and Kevin... suddenly launched an attack after the communication.

Isn't this right? According to the current situation, shouldn't Xi Wang be able to communicate? Even the data detected by the aircraft showed that Xi Wang was only a "suspected Herrscher" and could not be completely determined to be a Herrscher. Why did Kevin directly attack?

Although many people, after seeing the close relationship between Xiwang and Skadi, have more or less realized that Xiwang might really be the [Herrserker], and that Honkai beast is his [Companion Honkai beast], but... everyone still maintains a little fantasy.

Unexpectedly, Kevin would activate the [Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire] so directly, as if he wanted to [attack] Xi Wang.

Kevin, what a fool! Why is he so straightforward?! Let's negotiate again!

Many people think so.

However, the sudden situation did not allow everyone to react in time. Hen even rushed down from the aircraft in a hurry and stood in front of Xi Wang.

And then... this scene gave Xiwang PTSD.

The raging flames and the traces of those who tried to resist them... The scene before my eyes overlapped with the scene in my "memory".

Then, Xiwang's body moved before his thoughts.

Absolutely...absolutely! We can't make the same mistake again!

Xi Wang's gentle eyes suddenly became fierce. The sea water under his feet flowed, forcibly wrapping up Skadi's huge body, bringing it away from the range of the flames, and interrupting its counterattack... Well, [blood relationship] is important, Skadi cannot be hurt.

Then he took a step forward, not caring about controlling his strength, and kicked Hen away, then manipulated the sea water to catch him in mid-flight.

Next, we just need to control the seawater to block the fire...

boom!

The raging flames had already engulfed Xi Wang's body.

"Xiwang?!"

【Blood relatives!!!】

--------

"Aponya, why didn't you go on this mission? Are you worried about something?"

Mobius, who was at the base of the "Fire Moth", approached Aponia and asked in a pointed manner.

"Ah."

"Oh? What a surprise... I thought you would use some weird words to evade us like before~"

"I just... don't want to see that scene again."

Aponia's eyes dropped slightly, her tone filled with sadness and... compassion.

"The [thread] has been pulled, and everything has changed, but... it's still slight."

"【Destiny】... is trying to correct everything... to return everything to its original state."

Gently raising her hand and grasping the cross pendant hanging on her chest, Aponya spoke in a firm tone.

"But... this time, everything will be different."

Immediately, her tone was filled with sadness again, and a sense of powerlessness, a feeling of being able to only watch everything happen but unable to change it, nor to try to alter it... dejected.

"It's just that all this is...too cruel for him."

Chapter 6161 You like humans the most, don’t you? Ai Lishia? ()

[Your body is engulfed in flames, and Skadi's screams begin to rang out... In an instant, the entire "ocean" begins to boil.]

[The beloved child was once again ravaged by flames... This was hard for Ocean to accept, let alone tolerate.]

[The originally calm sea surface began to surge, and the ice surface that Kevin had created for his feet was completely destroyed. The Honkai beasts that were hiding somewhere jumped out of the sea one after another, attacking everyone, especially Kevin.]

[The aircraft was destroyed, exploded in the air, turned into debris, and finally dismembered and swallowed by the ocean... any fire was covered by the sea water]

[All the Honkai beasts belonging to the ocean jumped out and attacked the people present, destroying the ice surface that Kevin created for everyone, and constantly attacking the people standing on it...especially Kevin]

[Kevin could only control the ice and snow in a daze, brandishing the flaming sword, and trying his best to protect the soldiers around him so that they could regain their focus on the battle.]

[Skadi swung his huge tail fin, and the waves emerged and slapped towards everyone, and it seemed that they were about to crush the place where everyone was standing, but... the momentum of the waves was rapidly weakening, and finally calmed down, leaving Kevin and others only feeling a wave of shaking]

[All the leaping Honkai beasts were pierced through by the seawater, wrapped in bubbles, and turned into floating foam... They are not "blood relatives", they are just "prey"]

[“Hiss… Ouch… It hurts!” Your sound of pain reached everyone’s ears and attracted Skadi’s attention, causing it to temporarily put down its attack on Kevin, and everyone’s eyes were turned to you.]

[Really... Don't forget where you are~ This is the "ocean", how could anything possibly happen to you here? Right~]

[The sea water ripples, washing away the flames on your body bit by bit, healing your wounds... The sea water seems sticky, brushing against your body bit by bit, like a mother, worrying about your injuries... As for the burned clothes, it has also prepared them for you, a hunter suit as dark as the deep sea]

[When you found yourself forced to change into this outfit, you felt a little amused... but you still expressed your gratitude to the sea water, and whispered to comfort Skadi... No matter what, they helped you a lot.]

[Seeing that you were okay, everyone was more or less relieved, and Kevin looked at you with a look of guilt... But soon, everyone realized a problem]

[Your recovery ability, and the new set of... "clothes" you put on, seem to reveal your identity as a "herrscher" in some way.]

[However, seeing you pulling Hen out of the water, and still chatting and joking happily with Hen... everyone temporarily put aside those doubts.]

[Forget it, don’t think too much, at least now... don’t think too much]

[As for you... right now, you are comforting Skadi, who is flapping her tail fins and looking anxious to take you away, while calming the waves in the ocean... The "Heavenly Fire Judgment" in Kevin's hand is still too conspicuous, making them very alert.]

[In addition to this, you also have to negotiate with Hen and Kevin. On the one hand, you have to show that you are really fine, and on the other hand, you have to ask them to let Skadi leave safely... Oh, really, it's so tiring to be caught in the middle~]

[After what happened just now, Kevin and Hen no longer wanted to object to you, and their accompanying team members nodded again and again... Just let a Honkai beast go, and find a chance to "defeat" it later. You are the most important now... They really don't want to hurt you.]

[Even if...even if you really become a Herrscher, there must at least be "conclusive evidence", right?]

[For example, you killed someone, or... caused a "great collapse" or something? ]

[No, no, no, that's still too much... Anyway, until there's "conclusive evidence", let's just leave it at that.]

[So, after you persuaded her and even gave everyone a hug... Oh, Kevin, that's not possible. Tsk, what a pity... Anyway, in order to reassure Skadi, you gave everyone present a close hug to show that there was really no problem between you and they had no intention of hurting themselves... In the end, you just needed to kiss her before Skadi reluctantly believed your words and believed that no one would really hurt you.]

[Well... except Kevin, because you didn't hug him, and he still had the "Judgment of Heavenly Fire" in his hand, so Skadi still had hostility towards him (Kevin: wronged)]

[At the end, Hen seemed to understand something, and he hinted to everyone to start blaming Kevin together... Boy, this is your fault, take the blame! (Kevin: aggrieved)]

[In short, after some earnest persuasion and consolation, as well as everyone's deliberate acting, Skadi reluctantly swam away... When leaving, he would chirp from time to time, or look back at you, fearing that you were deceived by others]

[And you watched its figure until it disappeared into the sky... Then, as if to say goodbye, you sang a soft song, letting it follow the flowing sea water, letting it follow the blowing breeze, drifting to where it is, sending blessings to it]

[Don't worry, my "blood relative", I will protect you. This time... you will never be "conquered" - unknowingly, you and it made this decision in your heart.]

[Should I say that they are indeed "blood relatives"? Hmm? ]

[When you meet it again, you will probably be surprised by its appearance, but... at this moment, you still don't know.]

[At this moment, you are looking at the aircraft that is coming again with great anticipation... The attack that Kevin just launched scared the other teams, and they all rushed over together... and you also met them as you wished]

[Eden and Sakura...you are reunited again, filled with joy and relief]

[Looking at you interacting intimately with Eden and Sakura, everyone is relieved for the time being... Fortunately, you still know them, and they are willing to recognize you... That's all.]

[As for why the aircraft Kevin and Hen were in disappeared, and why Kevin used the "Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment"...they evaded the question, and almost everyone buried the matter between you and Skadi.]

[They don’t know if what they did was right, but... seeing you filled with joy at the reunion, seeing you smiling at seeing everyone again, they feel... they must be right.]

[However, among the people who were celebrating, you noticed Alicia, who had an especially bright smile... She seemed very happy, happy to meet you again, and happy that everyone was willing to accept you... Her happy mood made her walk briskly, and she almost fell on the ice on her way to you... Fortunately, you supported her and saved her from this fate.]

[But your action caused Alicia to grab your wrist in return, and with a smile that seemed happier than before, she greeted you and asked if you missed her, the girl who was as beautiful as a flying flower.]

[Hmm... You seriously suspect she did it on purpose... No, if it was Alicia, then there seems to be no doubt that she did it on purpose! ]

[So, you answered her seriously - no! ]

[Your mind is full of Eden and Sakura! Who is Alicia? I don't know her! ]

[Your loud and natural answer made Alicia stunned for a moment, but she soon puffed up her face and pretended to be annoyed... and gently pulled your long hair that had completely turned white to express a weak protest.]

[As for everyone else, they were slightly stunned, but after seeing the smile on your face, they realized something and immediately burst into laughter.]

[So, in this pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, you returned to "Fire Moth"]

[Although the scene of reunion is indeed worth celebrating, but next... you will have to face the rather cold reality.]

[After all, the wavelength of you that is similar to that of a Herrscher cannot be faked, and the top leaders of "Fire Moth" have already noticed your terrifying influence on "Fire Moth", so... as expected, you have been labeled as a "suspected Herrscher"]

[You are not surprised by this. Rather, the fact that the "Fire Moth" did not directly judge you as a "Hershersman" is the result of the efforts of many people... Not only did Mobius explain your previous abnormality as "man-made collapse", or the support of the fusion warriors later, but also Kevin, Hen and others kept silent about Skadi, all of which concealed the "evidence" that could prove you are a "Hershersman"]

[Plus, with Wright's strong support for you in the parliament, even if the top leaders of "Fire Moth" intend to target you, they can only do this much.]

[As for being judged as a "suspected Herrscher", I should have arranged for you to be detained... um, sorry, I can't do that.]

[Don’t ask why, if you can’t do it, you can’t do it! ]

[Let’s not talk about other things. The best prison in “Fire Moth” alone - “The Deep Place” is full of people who support you. There was a riot because of you before. If you are thrown in now... I dare not even think about the scene.]

[And even if they put forward a request for detention, no one would carry it out. The top leaders of "Fire Moth" all know that they must not use too strong orders at this time, otherwise everyone in "Fire Moth" will become "Little Fengxian" and stab them in the back.]

[So although you were labeled as a "suspected Herrscher", this statement was not reported to the entire "Fire Moth". Only the middle and high-level members of the "Fire Moth" and the fusion warriors knew about it. At the same time, your detention was turned into a painless "house arrest"... Well, except that you can't leave the base, you can move around freely.]

[You don't care about this. After all, compared to the "before" situation, this arrangement is much better... Oh, really, are you too easily satisfied? ]

[Hmm... maybe it's just because the contrast is too strong. After all... this time, there are many, many people standing next to you.]

[However, you know, this trust is actually very fragile, because there is an irrefutable reason that is enough to overwhelm most people and make them hesitate - for the sake of humanity, the "Herrser" must be "defeated"]
