I already said this is not a life simulator!

However, although Alicia dodged the water blade, her "dome" could not dodge it...

Snap—bang!

First there was a slight cracking sound, followed by the sound of the crystal shattering and the "dome" dissipating.

wow-

The sound of heavy rain came again, enveloping everyone, and this time, they were affected even more severely. The rainstorm seemed to carry some special power. The heavy feeling and the hostility that emanated all the time stimulated everyone's nerves.

The heaviness brought by the rain made it difficult for them to move, and their combat was seriously affected. The hostility emitted by the rain seriously interfered with their perception, making them unable to sense Xiwang's specific location. They could only try to see with their eyes.

But in this white rainstorm, Xi Wang's figure seemed so blurry...

Moreover, everyone knew clearly that in the rainstorm, the combat capability of Xi Wang, the "Herrser", would definitely increase sharply... otherwise, Alicia would not have directly deployed the "dome" to block the rainstorm.

Now that the "dome" has been breached, how can we limit the sunlight? How can we stop the heavy rain?

Ah... it's very simple...

Smash the rain clouds! Scatter them!

[Skyfire——]

Raging flames swept all around, extreme cold and extreme heat intertwined, making it impossible for anything around to get close, not even Kevin's companions... They could only stay away from Kevin, or restrict Xi Wang to prevent Xi Wang from stopping Kevin.

Kevin, on the other hand, cracked the ice beneath him, tightly gripped the flaming sword in his hand, and leaped up in the rainstorm. Then he was suppressed by the violent rain, as if he was about to fall from mid-air.

At this moment, a pink light flashed and an arrow flew over, passing through the white rain curtain, growing and extending in the air, forming a small, flower-shaped crystal platform that could be stepped on, allowing Kevin to use the force to climb up again.

【Unsheathed!!!】

Relying on his intuition, thinking that the height was enough at the moment, Kevin resolutely swung the flaming sword in his hand.

The flames reached the sky, brilliant as a pillar of fire connecting heaven and earth. The extreme temperature evaporated all the surrounding rainwater and burned all the accumulated rain clouds. Even the few remaining building debris on the ground showed signs of melting, and the trees that were fortunately spared were directly ignited and turned into black charcoal.

Thanks to this, the accumulated water on the ground was frozen into ice, and the rain clouds in the sky were burned by flames, leaving Xiwang with little to rely on.

"Hush...huh..."

Kevin, who started falling from the sky, began to adjust his breathing, ignoring the slight burns on his body. With the help of the platform shot and built by Alicia again, he stepped heavily and rushed towards Xiwang from the air.

Flames...started to ignite from the sword again.

The fire was like a judgment falling from the sky...and was about to fall on Xi Wang.

Xi Wang certainly would not sit and wait for death, but he now had to deal with the obstruction of several other fusion warriors.

He blocked Hen's sudden attack, swung his sword to force him back, and swept towards Kosmo, trying to force him back as well, but was blocked by Kosmo at the cost of half of his side being seriously injured. Kosmo then used this method of exchanging injuries to forcibly restrain Xiwang's greatsword.

Hen, who had just been forced to retreat, turned around and fought back. Even though all the attacks were blocked by Xi Wang with one hand, don't forget that Qian Jie was also there...

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Qianjie's laughter was still wild. He clenched his fist and swung it towards Xiwang's face. This time, he hit it! A deep mark was left on Xiwang's face!

However, it was not known whether it was because Qianjie’s attack angered Xiwang, causing Xiwang to directly raise the big sword in his hand, and together with Kosmo who was holding the sword and refused to let go, he used it directly as a "hammer" to forcefully repel both Hen and Qianjie.

Then he punched Kosmo directly, breaking the bones in both his arms, kicked him out, and took back his sword.

But at this time, Kevin had already come to Xiwang with the flaming sword. The flames falling from the sky, the judgment falling from the sky had already arrived, forcing Xiwang to hastily raise his sword to block.

[Heavenly Fire is unsheathed! ]

The flaming sword fell, and flames engulfed his body. The raging flames flowed on the ground like waves, melting the ice... no, it directly sublimated into gas, without any melting process at all!

This should be all right, right? - Hen and Kosmo thought so.

but……

"I have to praise you again... You have really grown a lot."

He... Xi Wang's words were still clearly heard from the flames, and even... he had returned to his previous soft, gentle, water-like, wind-like tone.

The flames dissipated, revealing the figure of Xi Wang holding the sword in one hand and blocking Kevin's attack... From the two swords against each other, it can be seen that Kevin is constantly increasing his strength, but his flaming sword has not advanced an inch... Even if it moves occasionally, it will soon be pushed back by Xi Wang.

And Xi Wang's face... returned to that gentle smile, as if everything that had just happened was not a "battle" to him, as if he had never been serious from the beginning of the war until now.

"Well... in return, I have to show a little sincerity..."

"Oh, by the way... you probably haven't seen my "blood relative" yet... she's really cute."

"To be honest, you guys hit her so hard just now that it really made her anxious for a long time."

"Oh, no, no... You should know her. After all, someone here has seen her..."

"As for what I am trying to say by saying so much, what is it? Ha..."

Xi Wang's mouth corners slightly raised, and his golden and scarlet pupils seemed to be glowing slightly at this moment.

"I just want to tell you one thing..."

Everyone can see it! Behind Xi Wang, blue water is flowing, as if something is about to "come out" of Xi Wang's body.

"My 'blood relatives' and I are connected by...blood."

It is similar to Xi Wang's, with white hair like waves.

It was scarlet eyes similar to Xi Wang's.

She was wearing a bright red dress.

"us……"

She landed gently on the ground and stood behind Xi Wang. She tilted her head slightly and scanned everyone present with her dangerous scarlet eyes, like some kind of predator.

tick-

The rain clouds that had just dispersed came back again, and a hazy drizzle fell from the sky again.

"never separate."

Water began to accumulate on the ice again, but this time, the water did not freeze into ice...

"So……"

Xiwang was still smiling and speaking softly in a gentle tone; and Skadi, who was behind him, gently raised her hand, summoned the azure water, outlined a short staff like a conch, and slightly adjusted her breath.

Small azure and bright red fish jumped out from the puddles on the ground, circled around them, and swam happily.

Unable to be observed by the people present, a gorgeous and gentle "song" quietly emerged on the surface of the planet, flowing in silence.

--------

[Century Song (Color), Triggered]

[Perform a "miracle" related to "salvation/destruction"! ]

--------

"[Please listen to this song from the distant sea]"

He opened his mouth together with her, and sang a strange and soft "song" softly.

And from this moment on, the people present... no, the whole world, everyone on this planet found that their entire world fell into "silence".

Whether it was the voices of people around me, the sound of buildings collapsing in the distance, the sound of breeze blowing through the leaves, the sound of rain falling from the sky, I couldn't even hear my own voice, not even through bone conduction!

Everything disappeared, all perceptible sounds disappeared.

The whole world fell into [silence].

Except... the voices of Xiwang and Skadi, except... their "song".

Nothing else.

Chapter 7980 "Sea Successor" ()

In the "silent" environment, only his and her "song" echoes, only his and her "melody" spreads.

Almost in an instant, everyone in the world felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. Faced with this terrifying "silent" environment, people seemed somewhat confused and at a loss.

Although "Fire Moth" did teach them about Honkai, he didn't tell them that Honkai would have such a wide range...

And along with this "silent" environment came "heavy rain" and even crazier...Honkai beasts, whose numbers increased rapidly.

Those blue and white-based Honkai beasts began to split themselves continuously and quickly advanced inland under the cover of "heavy rain". If you look from a high altitude, you can find that the azure blue representing the Honkai beasts is spreading and diffusing rapidly on the Mu Continent.

Those cities that had not yet completed evacuation were quickly submerged, and those cities that had not yet started evacuation completely lost the opportunity to save civilians...

People could only watch as the Honkai beasts came in waves, opened their hideous and terrifying mouths, and swallowed their relatives and friends... But before the sadness came, even their own bodies were submerged by them.

Buildings collapsed and turned into ruins, window glass shattered, cars were trampled and became broken and undriveable, aircraft were bitten by them and could not take off, and eventually they would just fall in the "rainstorm", without crashing or exploding... they would just be submerged by them, that's all.

There was no wailing, no screaming, no sound of any kind. There was no sound feedback at all. There was nothing in the ears except his and her "song".

When his and her "song" sounded, it was as if he and she had exerted some kind of power, and the "rainstorm" instantly enveloped the entire Mu Continent. The Honkai beasts absorbed Honkai energy from the "rainstorm" and gained strength from the rain, quickly engulfing the entire Mu Continent with an unstoppable momentum.

The defense line that was originally able to hold collapsed directly, and the people who were still fighting were drowned in the tide of Honkai beasts. Only a few people were still holding on... Even these few people who were left were able to survive because they had fusion warriors fighting beside them.

For example, the team led by Hua, and the defense line where Desdobia is located... Only those defense lines with fusion warriors can have a slightly better situation.

And other places in Mu Continent... well.

No, we should not say "the situation is slightly better", because those are all relative. Compared with the defense lines and cities that have become silent in the "silence", they, the fusion warriors, can still barely hold on in the tide of collapsed beasts, so they can say "slightly better".

But in reality... they're not much better.

Because after his and her "song" sounded, whether it was Hua, Desdobia, or even all the other fusion warriors, they all felt that weird feeling, that oppressive, dull feeling, and a kind of... closeness to these "monsters" in front of them, these Honkai beasts.

Yes, a "sense of closeness", as if they are no different from these Honkai beasts, as if they have some kind of strange connection with these Honkai beasts.

Especially Hua, facing the "monster" in the skin of Himiko, facing this "monster" that she should have hated and despised, Hua actually had an illusion that... she was the same as her.

Hua even had an urge to give up resistance, to enjoy the rain with her and the surrounding Honkai beasts, and to return to the ocean together... Hua even felt her body trembling slightly, as if she was resisting the attack on her and them.

Hua seemed to be able to hear some kind of "hallucination" again, and could feel that something in the rain was calling her... She could feel the slightly strange emotions transmitted by the rain, as if it was wondering why Hua was facing off against her [compatriots], why she was hurting her [compatriots]...

No, that's not right. It's the "song", the only "song" that can be heard in this "silence". It is this strange "song" that affects them.

Don't be deceived, don't give in... Absolutely not!

My teammates still need me, and my teammates still need me.

I...can't be influenced.

Hua adjusted his breathing, calmed his confused thoughts, and suppressed his affinity for the Honkai beasts around him, especially the "monster" in front of him wearing Himiko's skin, and continued to kill the Honkai beasts around him that tried to approach him or his teammates.

Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that the surrounding defenses had collapsed and that they were the only team left in the area, this was not a reason for them to stop and give up.

Keep going, no matter what...keep going.

On the other side, Himiko, who was observing Hua and others' every move under the cover of the "heavy rain", smiled with approval.

Himiko did not speak, because in this "silent" environment, there would be no other sounds except his and her "song"... Even beings like Himiko and others, and even their Honkai beasts, were the same and could not transmit any sound.

Therefore, they will use another way to "communicate".

Himiko raised her hand slightly, and the "pheromone" carrying some message spread quietly and quickly with the help of the rain. The Honkai beasts that were still surging around began to adjust their positions according to Himiko's command after receiving this message, and at some point, revealed a relatively "weak" spot to Xiang Hua and the others.

Hua naturally seized the opportunity at this moment and led the team to break through and escape into the distance... They are not stupid. The defense line has collapsed. Even if they want to hold on, they will not continue to stay on this broken defense line... What is more important now is to conserve strength and try to contact the main force so that they will know what to do next.

Although in the current situation, they have nowhere to escape... But it doesn't matter, Himiko doesn't care about those things. She just wants to give Hua a little "reward" as a "reward" for her growth to this point... Well, of course, there is also a little bit of selfishness in it.

After all, they were her former teammates~ I just took care of them~

And…even if they escaped, or even further, survived, the final result would not change.

Himiko was well aware of this.

After all... Xiwang has already decided the final [ending] for "this time".

……

…………

Under the influence of the "Song", even Hua, who was so far away from Xiwang and Skadi, could be affected so deeply. Then Kevin and the others who were facing Xiwang and Skadi directly here... needless to say.

Except for Qianjie and Alicia, everyone else present lost their fighting ability almost instantly.

The body is rebelling, resisting, as if something is about to burst out of it.

Longing, longing, longing to return to him, to be close to him, because he is their [compatriot], they have the same "blood" as him, they are no different from him.

They were thirsty for water and rain. They should have been wary of the rain falling from the sky and the water puddling on the ground. But at this moment, they all felt... these things were very close to them, and they could even vaguely feel the emotions coming from the water.

There seemed to be a certain call in his ears, a call that came along with his and her "song", a call that wanted to drag them into the deep sea...
