I already said this is not a life simulator!

[Or maybe... there is something in my body that wants to go back, to the sea.]

[Kevin thought this might be a manifestation of the collapse, so he reported it to "Fire Moth"... Then Kevin discovered that it was not just him, other fusion warriors also had this feeling more or less recently]

[Especially for the fusion warriors stationed on the coastal defense line, this feeling will become stronger and stronger as they stay on the coastal defense line...]

[Tsk, this must be some kind of collapse! ——Almost everyone concluded so]

[And then... just like that, a strange disease that manifested as lethargy began to spread among the crowd, and at an extremely fast speed! It even spread towards the base of the "Fire Moth" in a targeted manner! ]

[It just so happened that when this strange "sleeping sickness" began to spread, Elini, who was holding the "lantern", also led the team back to the base for rest under the order of the "Fire Moth"]

[In addition, Destovia also came back to rest, and Aponia, who rarely participated in the battle due to her special ability... a certain unfortunate new Herrscher ran into them.]

[Of course, this is not the worst. After all, due to various reasons, the combat power of "Fire Moth" is already very high at this time, and the corresponding collapse has also increased the difficulty. The "Herrser" that was born has also been strengthened. So if they really have to fight each other, "Herrser" will still win.]

[But... it's a pity, it's really a pity that this new "Hersher" met them, or rather, met... you.]

[After all, the "blood" remaining in their bodies will connect you to each other, and therefore... this new "Hersher" will target them while also directly targeting... you.]

[What a pity, what a pity... It's so bad, so unfortunate that the newborn met you... But it doesn't matter, you won't be soft-hearted because of this]

[After all... you alone are enough as the Herrscher]

Chapter 5445: Knowing the Law: Send! ()

[Huh…Huh…]

It was a rapid gasp, a gasp that some being could not help but make after running for a long time and bearing too much pressure.

The surroundings were endless white, as if there were no other colors except white... No, it should be like this.

Because this is the territory it created, the safe place it built for itself.

Here, in this place independent of other people's [dreams], it can freely exert its power, manipulate other people's minds, play with other people's [dreams], influence other people's emotions, and even... check and even tamper with other people's memories.

This is the ability it should have as it has the power to manipulate the "spirit". It can be said that it is unrivaled in this regard. In the spiritual realm, there is almost no [human] who can surpass it.

And it will thereby fulfill its "obligation" to bring destruction to mankind and destroy this civilization.

It even thinks that it is very gentle. After all, the "dreams" it gives to others are always wonderful and happy, and they are the "dreams" that develop according to its most ideal future.

A sweet dream will make people nostalgic and refuse to leave. They will sink into the dream and then disappear and die peacefully with a smile... It should be like this.

Yeah, that's how it should be...

Then why...why?!

[How could someone like you come in?! ]

It manipulated its own power to make its body "fly". While moving quickly, it turned around and looked behind it, questioning loudly.

And behind it, the space that should have also been white is now gradually filled with azure blue.

That is [water], [water] that should not appear and cannot appear here.

The azure blue water flows quietly, spreading in a gentle and silent manner that cannot be stopped or obstructed, soaking and invading its territory, and also dissolving its pride without leaving anything behind.

"Don't say that. You were the one who pulled me in."

He...Xiwang, said this softly.

[Are you kidding me?! I have never contacted you! I will never contact you... a "traitor"!]

It gritted its teeth and showed a slightly resentful expression.

It had already sensed and realized that the guy in front of it was the same as it, both were "Herrsers"... No, it would be better to say that Xi Wang showed no signs of concealing anything.

But precisely because of this, it was even more puzzled as to why Xiwang, who was also a "Herrser", would attack it...Aren't they companions?

"No contact? Ah...it seems to be true, but it doesn't matter. I will come to trouble you eventually anyway."

【What do you mean? 】

Xiwang's matter-of-fact tone made it feel annoyed, and the anger quickly surged up and almost made it laugh.

[You mean you, a fellow Herrscher, are actually trying to cause trouble for me? Are you kidding me?]

[Shouldn't we be companions? Together we should wipe out humanity, destroy civilization, and bring the world into silence... Isn't that what we should do? !]

[And now, you actually... actually dare to come before me! You manipulate this power that should be used against humans to hurt your companions! Aren't you ashamed? ]

【You "traitor"! 】

"Ah...whatever you say."

Xiwang's tone was relaxed, and even his pace had not changed. It was still so slow and steady, and with an irresistible meaning, just like the ever-spreading [water], just like the ever-expanding blue color.

"But... after all, you provoked my "compatriots", so I have to come and find you, right?"

【Fellow…compatriots?】

"Yeah, don't you feel it?"

He raised his hand slightly and placed his fingertips on his lips. His index finger and middle finger separated naturally and placed on his upper lip and raised corners of his mouth respectively. Xi Wang chuckled and said.

"The blood I left in their bodies."

【……ha? 】

It immediately felt that Xiwang was joking... What "blood"? And just based on the so-called "blood", can those humans be regarded as "fellows"? What kind of joke is this? It's not funny at all?

"The second thing is..."

Xiwang slowly raised his hand.

The five fingers were put together in a knife shape, and the azure water quietly flowed and gathered. The originally calm water on the ground also began to ripple.

A strong sense of danger suddenly came over it, and the feeling of being "marked" made its body tremble involuntarily.

"I think that as for the Herrscher or something like that... I am enough."

"Like what you said about wiping out humanity and destroying civilization... I can do these things myself. In fact... I have already done it several times."

The raised hand fell down in an instant!

The azure water instantly turned into a crescent-shaped water blade and attacked it!

【whispering sound……】

It curled its lips, tapped its toes, and slightly tilted its body, trying to avoid being hit by the water blade while waving its hands and calling upon its own power.

The azure water blade quickly faded in the air as it was reduced by an invisible force. The azure color gradually became lighter and finally turned into the same white as the surroundings, as if it had merged with the surrounding environment... In essence, it "disappeared".

「Ha... stop it. This kind of attack won’t do anything to me.」

"Really? Then why don't you just use it against me?"

【………】

"Or push me into the Dream like you did with the others... Then you won't have to run around all this time."

【………】

"You can't do that, can you?"

Xi Wang smiled, but his steps remained slow and steady.

"You can't deal with me, and you can't even think of how to deal with me, but you don't want to leave here, because this is your [territory], a place where you can exert your power at will, and it is also the place you should be most proud of."

"But now... it has been occupied by an outsider."

"You don't want to admit it, nor do you want to give up. After all, you were defeated by an outsider in the area where you are best and strongest. It's like being driven out of your home by an outsider."

The golden and scarlet light in Xiwang's pupils flickered quietly.

"You are very angry and you are very dissatisfied, right?"

Since you know that, just don’t say it out loud!

Its teeth were almost broken, but before it could fight back, Xi Wang continued.

"But...actually I can go even further."

He suddenly stopped, stood still, raised his hand slightly, placed his index finger on his lips, and narrowed his pupils that were shining with gold and scarlet lightly.

Immediately, he whispered softly.

"[This place should be the sea]"

The calm, mirror-like, azure blue water suddenly spread out.

Whether it was the "ground" he was standing on, the "sky" above his head, or everything around him, all were dyed with azure blue.

The pure white space was shrinking rapidly. Even if it wanted to resist or stop it, it would be difficult to do so.

It had tried! Tried! To use its own power to reduce the opponent's power, or to clear away the strange [water].

It should be able to do it, after all, this is the realm of [Spirit], and it is also its power... Logically speaking, it should be easy for it to clear it out.

But I just can't do it!

Its power "dissipated" the moment it came into contact with water, and "dissolved" silently, just like a drop of paint different from seawater falling into the sea, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Its power was like mud in the sea, unable to cause the slightest impact on Xiwang.

Ah... this is only natural. After all, the "ocean" is always inclusive. No matter what it is, it will always accept it gently.

Therefore, facing the rapidly spreading blue, facing its increasingly smaller range of activities, and the increasingly terrifying aura coming from him, it felt... it could not wait any longer.

It has to go!

Now is no longer the time to be willful or to stalemate or counterattack. He is obviously stronger than me. I should retreat first and then look for an opportunity to counterattack!

No...no, this is not a retreat, it's just a strategic shift.

After all, this "traitor" cares so much about his "compatriots", so I will target his "compatriots"!

That's right! I just changed my strategy!

It believed so, and before the pure white space was completely occupied, its figure quickly faded and disappeared in the blink of an eye... It left this space.

“Oh…did he run away?”

Xi Wang tilted his head.

"But... it's useless, huh?"

"After all... the [hunt] has already begun."

"And prey... should look like prey."

--------

In a house in a city inland...

[Huh…Huh…]

It hurriedly opened its eyes, escaped from the so-called "dream", woke up from the "dream", pressed its hand gently on its chest, trying to calm its rapid breathing and turbulent heartbeat... After several efforts, its condition improved.

After looking around and confirming that it had returned to reality and there was no azure water around, it breathed a sigh of relief.

[Okay... I left successfully... Ha, as expected, as long as I want to leave, he can't stop me. In the spiritual realm, he is indeed worse than me.]

It muttered to itself, with the corners of its mouth slightly raised, as if it was proud.

As for the area that was previously infected by him? It doesn't matter. With its power, it won't be difficult to create another one... It was unwilling to leave before, simply because it didn't want to admit that it was suppressed... It was even suppressed within its own power, which was really embarrassing!

But it doesn't matter... Now that it has swallowed its pride and taken the initiative to flee... retreat... No! It should be "moving to another place"! Since it has already made up its mind to do so, it naturally doesn't need to care about such a small face issue.

[Okay, now that we have decided, let’s bypass him and go find other people to trouble…]

woo-

Before it could finish its soliloquy, an alarm suddenly sounded, followed by a broadcast that echoed throughout the city.

"Attention, citizens! Heavy rain is coming! Attention, citizens! Heavy rain is coming! Please..."

Boom!

Before the broadcast was finished, the dull thunder drowned out everything, and the humid air instantly spread throughout the city. Even it could smell the moist scent.

tick-

It was the sound of raindrops falling gently, a few transparent raindrops fell, wetting the open window edge, and then...

wow-
