I already said this is not a life simulator!

"...Okay, but I hope you can give me an accurate answer later."

"Well, I will."

Xi Wang nodded and agreed with a smile.

--------

[Unfortunately, you can no longer wait until that time, the "Fire-Chasing Moth" has already started to act]

[First of all, there is an irrefutable "evidence" - "Fire Moth" checked the portable combat video of Kevin and Hen's team, um, the team that went to the sea to look for you]

[Then, as expected, they showed Kevin wielding the "Heavenly Fire Judgment" and attacking "you", and said that as the "strongest warrior in the human race", Kevin must have discovered something, so he waved the "Heavenly Fire Judgment" directly at you.]

[Adding to what you've said before, and the killer whale Honkai beast next to you, which is most likely a "companion Honkai beast", then this conclusion is not difficult to guess - Kevin must have judged you as a "herrscher", so he launched an attack]

[The following scene further confirms this point - when your body is covered in flames, a large number of Honkai beasts jump out from under the sea, destroying the team's aircraft and attacking Kevin and others.]

["Fire-Chasing Moth" believes that you are subconsciously counterattacking and controlling the Honkai Beast, which is one of the signs that only the "Herrser" can have. And the giant killer whale Honkai Beast that started to riot when it saw you injured... There is no doubt that it is your "companion Honkai Beast"]

[Although Kevin and Hen's team denied this later, and only tried to evade questions, it doesn't matter. "Fire Moth" understands. After all, you have a good relationship with them. It's normal for your relatives and friends to become "Herrs" and want to "shelter" you. Especially since your performance is no different from ordinary people, it's even more unbearable. "Fire Moth" understands.]

【However, everything must be based on facts】

[Then, "Fire Moth" took out the battle record of the "Ninth Herrscher Crusade", especially the final stage, where you suddenly showed overwhelming combat power against the "Ninth Herrscher"... This is obviously not normal, because your ability as a fusion warrior is almost entirely in "song", and it is impossible for you to have such a powerful force.]

[Okay, although Mobius argued that this might be the effect of "artificial collapse", this is not true either, because after the "artificial collapse", the fusion warriors either continue to maintain a clear self-awareness (that is, normal "artificial collapse"), or fall into madness (that is, in extreme cases, the unavoidable "artificial collapse" can be understood as "runaway"), but neither of these two can explain your condition]

[If your "man-made collapse" fails and is a "runaway", then the first ones to suffer should be your comrades around you. They will become the first targets of attack after you go crazy... But you didn't.]

[Okay, you are determined and only want to be the Herrscher, but why are you so calm? You don't look crazy or have any signs of "running wild"? More importantly... why are you still in your "human form"?]

[You know, no matter which fusion warrior, after the "artificial collapse", they will show obvious "inhuman" signs, which can be seen at a glance, but you don't show any abnormalities except that your hair has turned completely white, which is obviously unreasonable]

[Secondly, if you say that your "man-made collapse" was successful and that you still maintained a clear self-awareness, that is also incorrect, because after you defeated the "Ninth Herrscher", when Mu Continent fell downward, you did not directly save your comrades. You only saved four people - Eden, Ying, Hen and Alicia. And from your expression at the time, it was obvious that you only wanted to save these four people. You did not care about the life and death of others.]

[This is obviously not normal. With your attitude towards others, you should have tried your best to save the lives of other comrades at the very beginning, and you might even try to save Mu Continent... You would never have such an attitude of indifference towards the lives of others. Therefore, "Fire Moth" infers that this is "not you" at all.]

[Although you finally saved the others, this doubt cannot be erased]

[Finally, "Fire Moth" took out the wavelength data of you at the "concert" - obviously, the reaction similar to "Herrser" in you has become more obvious.]

[Therefore, "Fire Moth" judges that you are now inevitably becoming a "Herrserker" and are the target of "punishment". You must be "punished" before you become a "Herrserker" and cause greater damage.]

[This statement was undoubtedly opposed by everyone, and the "Fire Moth" also expressed its understanding. They also believed that you were working hard to resist the erosion of Honkai and trying not to fall into the "Hershersman". Whether it was in the "Ninth Herrscher Incident", you finally saved other comrades, or in the sea, you killed the Honkai beast that attacked Kevin and others, which can prove that you are fighting against Honkai.]

[But... the facts are facts, cold and cruel. The data from the "concert" has confirmed that you are gradually becoming a "Hersher". This is inevitable.]

[In addition, "Fire-Chasing Moth" also emphasized to others that during the "Ninth Herrscher Incident", you...did not think about saving other comrades at the beginning. Is that really you with that cold and ruthless attitude?]

[…Yes, everyone remembers that you only saved four people at the beginning, and your attitude towards others could even be described as indifference, and there was also a hint of disgust and… hostility. It was obviously “not you”, and this problem could not be concealed.]

[Plus, the tangled look on your face later, obviously you were fighting against the collapse, and in the end you "reluctantly" saved the others, and then ran away directly... Can this be explained in another way? For example... you have become the "Hershers", but your own consciousness is still resisting, and then the "Hershers" left directly in order to control your body and memory to avoid being discovered? ]

[Finally, when the Herrscher becomes familiar with your body and memory, and has mastered your power, he will sing again and allow the Fire Moth to take it back, in order to lurk around humans and wait for an opportunity to cause greater damage.]

[Kevin discovered the problem at first, so he attacked you, but he didn't expect that the "Lawyer" would hold on, and even saved everyone according to your original character, thereby gaining their trust and successfully sneaking in.]

[…No, the so-called “saving everyone” might just be a self-directed and self-acted performance. You have to know that the “Herrser” can control the Honkai Beasts, so why are those Honkai Beasts hiding there? Why was the place where you met so peaceful at first, but immediately after you were attacked, the Honkai Beasts that attacked appeared again… This is obviously not normal]

[And the power you displayed in the "Ninth Herrscher" incident was water. Even the "Companion Honkai Beast" looked like a killer whale, and the Honkai Beasts that attacked Kevin and others were all marine... It's hard not to think too much about this.]

[Maybe you set up the ambush from the beginning? To trick people into "saving you" and then eat away at the "Fire Moth" troops one by one. However, you didn't expect that the person you met at the beginning was Kevin, the "strongest warrior". So you planned to play along with them and direct the ambush yourself to gain their trust and then sneak into the "Fire Moth" directly.]

[Think carefully, you had a lot of problems back then, for example, why did your "song" become the carrier of the "Hershersman"'s power during the "Eighth Herrscher Incident"? Why were you not affected by the "Eighth Herrscher"? Why...]

【Why……】

[There are more and more doubts, more and more doubts, and the suspicion in your heart is getting bigger and bigger. The small problems that were once deliberately ignored and no one cared about have become more and more conspicuous at this moment, and people's attitude towards you has gradually begun to waver.]

[People didn’t even notice that they had originally differentiated you from the “Herrser”, but in the end, they simply merged the two and called you directly, as if they had already tacitly accepted that you had become the “Herrser” and that you were the “Herrser”.]

[Because everyone knows that the "Herrs"... are disasters, catastrophes, the "messengers" of destruction, the executioners who harm humanity, and the "machines" that destroy civilization. They can disguise themselves, lurk, and do whatever it takes to cause destruction.]

[In order to protect the continued survival of mankind and ensure the continuation of civilization, the "Herrser"... must be "conquered"]

【Everything is for humanity】

[…Look, the so-called “trust” is so cheap and fragile in people’s eyes. It obviously requires countless events, a lot of kindness, and a long time to build up and construct “trust”. It obviously should be tough and solid. But with just a slight push, cracks appeared and it fell uncontrollably towards the direction of breaking and collapsing.]

[As long as there is a little bit of "doubt", then this "trust" will be completely shattered, it's just a matter of time]

[…Look, when “distrust” begins to spread and “doubts” take over people’s hearts, there is no need for others to do anything, no need for Honkai to influence, no need for “Herrsers” to push, humans will find “reasons” or “excuses” for themselves, extract those “suspicious points” one by one, and use them as evidence of “suspicion”]

[So what if you just held a "concert"? So what if you just solved the side effects of most fusion warriors? Once "suspicion" begins to appear, your "good" will be subconsciously ignored by them, and they will focus on the "suspicious points" in you.]

[At this time, even if there is a little "problem" with you, it will be infinitely magnified. Even if there is no "problem", they will make it up or even imagine one... And this is just to "confirm" the "doubt" in their hearts.]

[Look, this ignorant and stupid human being, just for a little "doubt", swept everything you did into the corner of memory, leaving only suspicion of you in his mind]

[Look, you are so pitiful and ridiculous. Even though you have done so much for them and even though your feelings towards them have never changed, in the end, you are still overwhelmed by doubt.]

【………】

[Everything is for humanity...Haha, what a ridiculous declaration, what a boring excuse]

[Do you think I'm right? Trying to become a "traitor" to "hope"? ]

Chapter 5850 Kevin, tears don’t freeze, right? ()

wow-

The sound of waves echoes in my ears, and there is fine sand beneath me.

The white waves gently lapped on the beach, and the tide gently brushed over his body, soaking the corners of his clothes.

???~

The gentle song brings up a soft breeze, quietly drifting away along the moist sea breeze. The golden notes ride on the wind and drift away, drifting to where they should go.

But... until his singing stopped and until the scheduled time was over, Xi Wang still didn't get the response he expected.

"I couldn't respond... Skadi..."

Xi Wang murmured softly, lowered his head, looked at the hunter hat in his arms, and sighed with some regret.

wow-

The tide blew gently, bringing him some messages.

"So...are you working hard? You still need to rest...you've been working so hard."

Xi Wang smiled gently and placed the hunter's hat in his arms lightly on the surging sea water.

"Well... please, help me give this to it. I remember it likes this hat very much."

wow-

"Haha, I know. It will like anything I give it. After all, it is a [blood relative]. But... I think this one should be very suitable for it, so... can you help me deliver it to it?"

wow-

The waves were silent, they just gently swept the hat away. The hat did not float on the sea, but was immersed in the sea water, and soon disappeared.

“Thank you very much~”

Xi Wang smiled happily, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the surging white waves. The sea water became a little sticky the moment it touched his palm, but soon it returned to normal and flowed quietly through his hands.

It loves Xiwang, so it will not force him back to its "home". It will be satisfied as long as it visits it from time to time.

wow-

The waves gently hit his body, reminding him that the "time" has come and telling him that it will deliver his care and gifts to Skadi's hands. Now, Xiwang should take care of his own affairs first. If you need help, the [Ocean] will be your greatest help... Here will be your "home".

“Thanks for the reminder~”

Xi Wang smiled happily and slowly stood up. The waves rose quietly at this time, washing away the sand on his legs and clothes, just like a mother tidying up clothes for her child who was about to go on a long journey.

"To be honest, I don't know how to thank you."

wow-

"No, I'm serious. No matter what, you've helped me a lot. Although many of my songs are related to you,... compared to the help you've given me, it pales in comparison."

Xi Wang placed his hand lightly on his chest, his gaze resting on the vast blue sea. After pausing for a while, he took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision, and smiled again and spoke softly.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me, helping me, tolerating my willfulness time and time again, and loving me so much."

"Thank you very much... [Mother]."

At that moment, Xiwang could clearly feel that the sound of the sea... disappeared, as if the entire sea water had frozen.

Xi Wang smiled silently, bowed solemnly to the Ocean, then stepped back, turned around, and left the beach.

wow-

The waves repeatedly hit the beach, the sound of the waves seemed cheerful and exciting, yet also faintly anxious... It realized, it sensed, that this was Xiwang's "farewell".

The white waves hit the beach several times, trying to chase Xiwang's figure. The humid sea breeze blew quietly, conveying a question to Xiwang, but all of this... received no answer.

It could only turn around and anxiously find the child that Xiwang loved, the child called [Skadi], to help it outline the shape faster, so that Skadi could get ashore before Xiwang was hurt. In this way, the two children who were close to each other could take care of each other.

only……

"Actually, you can stay a little longer, Xiwang."

Kevin, holding the [Heavenly Fire Judgement] in his hand, had a stern face, trying hard not to show his sadness, and spoke bit by bit.

"No need. If you stay any longer, people will become more suspicious of you, and that will be bad."

"I do not mind."

“But I care.”

"........."

"Kevin, let's go, we should go back."

Xiwang took brisk steps and walked forward on his own initiative, while Kevin followed silently... His duty was to [monitor Xiwang], and even if necessary... [kill Xiwang].

Kevin didn't want to take on this task at first, because it was a complete betrayal of Xiwang, especially since Xiwang had just helped him solve the problem of side effects, allowing him to hug Mei again, but now he was asked to turn the sword towards Xiwang, which was simply unreasonable.

But in the end, he took it...at Mei's suggestion.

There is no way. Now the conflicts within "Fire Moth" regarding Xi Wang have become increasingly fierce, especially since other senior executives of "Fire Moth" are more inclined to "attack" Xi Wang. In this case, even if Kevin does not accept this task, "Fire Moth" will arrange other people.

Moreover, if "Fire Moth" arranges other people to carry out this task, Xi Wang will be in danger, because there is no telling whether "Fire Moth" will directly order Xi Wang to be secretly executed... You know, Xi Wang may still have a debuff of [loss of refusal ability] on his body. If "Fire Moth" finds out about this... then they might just let Xi Wang commit suicide!

And if Kevin refuses this mission, he will be dragged into the abyss of suspicion and accused of being "confused" by Xiwang... You know, Congressman Wright, who has always been a clear supporter of Xiwang, has been truly labeled as "confused by the Herrscher" by "Fire Moth".

As for why such remarks appeared? It's very simple. It's still the problem of the "Eighth Herrscher Incident". Since Xi Wang's "song" can be chosen by the "Eighth Herrscher" who controls the mind as a carrier for spreading power, and Xi Wang himself is not affected by the "Eighth Herrscher", does it mean that Xi Wang's "song" and Xi Wang himself... have some kind of spiritual ability? For example, "confuse others" or something like that?

No matter how outrageous this speculation is, and don’t talk about evidence or anything, just tell me whether there is such a possibility!

As for the inspection of Aponia and Su's spiritual fusion warriors... hey, don't mention it. They are all very familiar with Xiwang, so it is normal for them to "shelter" him.

...Look, once there is "suspicion", it will be difficult to recover. Even any act of proof will be used to justify it...It's really funny.

Therefore, Kevin had no choice but to take on this task, because only in this way could he and they continue to protect Xiwang to some extent.

But continuing like this is not a solution, because accusations and suspicions will follow, overwhelm everyone little by little.

There is only one fundamental reason - Xi Wang is likely to become a "Herrser", or may even already be a "Herrser".

And the "Herrser" must be "conquered"... The blood debt left behind by each previous "Great Collapse" is the most powerful evidence for this statement.

So... in the end, is this the inevitable outcome? "Conquering" Xi Wang or something...

Kevin pursed his lips and subconsciously tightened the flaming sword in his hand. His eyes stopped at Xi Wang in front of him and he followed him blankly.

Why can he still be so happy?

Why can he still be so relaxed?

Clearly, at the beginning, he was pushed by everyone to the position of "hope" - because of his "song".

And now, he was pushed by everyone to the edge of the cliff - because of everyone's suspicion.

Even though it has come to this, why can you still laugh? Why can you still walk so lightly?

"Because compared to [before], this time, I have you by my side."

? !

"Kevin, your doubts are all on your face~"
