I already said this is not a life simulator!

"That's why most of the bases you explored are intact... because they are part of my power, so there is no need to destroy them. Of course, more importantly, I am still useful, my compatriots still need them, and... the doctor will need these things to continue some experiments."

"In other words... you have been aware of our actions... all along? Watching them all?"

"Isn't this natural? You have been moving in the rain and following the breeze... I know your situation, isn't this natural?"

"Then... those people in the shelter..."

"I know, but it's better to let them continue to live. Otherwise, how can they continue to attract you, attract the attention of the "Fire Moth", and make you think about them?"

"So... so... you are allowing, or even... directing all this?"

"Of course, after all... I can do it, and I have done it."

Xi Wang stepped forward slightly and came in front of her.

"You don't have to feel "unfair" right? After all... this is the power that I have accumulated from the "past" to the "present". If I make full use of it but still can't show off my overwhelming power... then I'm too tasteless and useless, right?"

"And... Dr. Einstein, do you remember how you left the shelter and worked with the armed puppets on Mu Continent to explore the "Star Gate" and the "Eye of the Abyss"? "

Xiwang suddenly asked this.

"........."

"Do you remember why you are so uncomfortable with dry environments? Especially when you are with Hua, when she is burning with fire, do you... remember that feeling?"

"Have you ever thought about why, even though you know that rainwater is part of my and our power, why does Mu Continent always keep drizzling, but when you are out in the outside world... the rain has no effect on you at all?"

As Xiwang spoke, Einstein's pupils widened... She had a very bad idea.

"Yes, that's right. You have been our [compatriot] for a long time, but... you just don't want to admit it."

Xi Wang whispered the answer.

"But it doesn't matter. The [Ocean] is tolerant, and so are I and us, so we let you go... because no matter what, you will eventually become our [compatriot]."

“And those people who move in the rain, those who are stained by water…will eventually join us.”

"You don't know, the moment the song started, the ending of everything was already determined, it was already written by me..."

After all, only Xiwang knows what "song" really represents.

That is a "miracle" related to "salvation/destruction of the world".

“As long as people cannot get rid of their dependence on water, and cannot survive without it…as long as people cannot do that, then this [outcome] cannot be changed.”

"Well... now that we've come to this point, why don't you introduce yourself here so we can get to know each other again."

Xi Wang grabbed the hem of his windbreaker with one hand, twisted it slightly, and bowed politely to Einstein.

"Xiwang, [Herrser of the Sea], of course, because of my function of writing the [ending], you can also call me... [Herrser of the End]."

"But you don't have to mind such unfamiliar names. After all... we are [fellow countrymen], so we can appear closer."

“…I don’t want to know so much anymore.”

Einstein raised his dazed and dazed eyes and asked softly in a tone as if his mind was completely empty.

"I just want to know... the fear of fire that you showed before... is it your weakness?"

"It's us, [fellow countrymen]."

Xi Wang corrected with a smile, then raised his hand, palm facing up and slightly spread out.

"As for the flames... I originally couldn't control much of it. After all, if you really want to count, the power of that 'sister' wasn't actually flames, but something deeper, which just manifested as fire..."

"But later, another 'sister' who held multiple positions gave me strength, so..."

With a slight movement of his fingertips, a warm, bright candle flame emerged from Xiwang's hand, jumped, and finally went out due to the humid air around it.

"The fire is also part of my power."

At this point, the [Four Elements] of water, wind, fire, and earth have all gathered... and he also has the function of [writing the ending]. If he still can't control everything, then he'd better not play this game.

"what……"

Einstein smiled bitterly and laughed at himself.

She finally understood that fire was also a part of Xi Wang's power, but just like the power to control "Soul Steel" before, he didn't use it often, and even deliberately concealed it, pretending it to be a "weakness"... What a bad taste.

Ahhh…what are you doing…

How could there be such an outrageous existence... This is too much, right? There is no way... to fight...

"So... you've gone through so much trouble. What exactly do you want to do? If you were the Herrscher, and if you wanted to destroy this civilization, you could do it easily, right?"

"Don't say that. Even the Herrscher has his own unique existence... As for destroying civilization, I have done that before."

Xi Wang tilted his head and spoke softly.

"However, for the sake of the ones I love, I don't mind favoring everyone else a little bit... So, I won't destroy civilization anymore. After all, I still want to be with them."

"As for what I want to do... I just want to try to get you on the path of evolution."

"Like I said, I love you, so... I will "save" you in my own way until... the final "ending" satisfies me."

"Don't worry, I won't be so arbitrary and restrict your future like this... Don't worry, I won't do that."

Xiwang smiled, a very gentle smile, but to Einstein, it seemed so creepy.

"I will give you the right to choose freely, but before that, I need to give you enough power and capital to cover the bottom line... Before that, you, we, must go through some bitterness, which is the necessary "price" in the preparation stage... I will try my best to make your life easier and happier."

"So... please rest assured that everything will end. All the hardship, bitterness and pain will be rewarded."

"But before that...it still requires some hard work."

Xi Wang turned his raised hand, palm downward, and slightly loosened it, and pointed his finger at Einstein's body, which was weak from relaxing, confused and dazed from receiving too much information, and thus unable to move.

The azure water began to flow and spread, and soon formed a "bubble" that wrapped around her body.

"after all……"

“Any sacrifice is acceptable.”

“Any price is worth paying.”

boo——

There was a slight sound of bubbles bursting, and Einstein's figure had disappeared. At this moment and place, only Xi Wang was left here.

"after all……"

Xi Wang withdrew his hand, and looked to the side following his sensation. He looked at the flames rising there, looked at the red feathers that vaguely appeared in a trance, and listened to the clear and crisp sound of a bird. Xi Wang smiled and murmured softly.

"Everything is for humanity"

Chapter 5216: Is it too much to put pressure on someone just because they are getting better? ()

【………】

[When Hua woke up, he found himself in a ruin. Red flames were still burning around him, burning and evaporating the accumulated water that tried to spread over. The air was filled with a dry smell, which also drove away the moisture that tried to fill this place.]

[There is no trace of Kaiji around, and even the Herrscher has gone somewhere unknown... Did he retreat? Or something else?]

[But no matter what, there is one thing Hua knows... they failed]

[Everything in front of me is still the same. They did not sink into the "Quantum Sea", so the "Hersher"... naturally did not sink either.]

[She still failed to do anything, and was even worse than before. This time... she was the only one who survived.]

[Hua didn't know what to do for a moment, and could only stand there in a daze... She didn't understand how she survived, and she didn't understand why the "Herrser" retreated, and... why she became like this]

[At this moment, her arms and legs were covered with a layer of feather-like... "shell"? It was soft and hard at the same time, and her five fingers became like claws. Her feet also changed their appearance and became like the feet of birds, which looked a bit weird.]

[There are several red tail feathers extending from the tail vertebrae behind it, and energy like fire flows through them, and occasionally some sparks will float up.]

[Not only that, her original combat uniform also disappeared, and her body was covered with a layer of light white and red feathers and "skin", temporarily covering her body.]

[…No matter how you look at it, this doesn’t look like a “human”. Instead, it looks more like a Honkai creature.]

[Hua didn't understand, so he could only remain silent, constantly adjusting his thoughts in his mind to confirm that "himself" was still himself]

[Finally, Hua still determined her thoughts and confirmed that she was still herself... Then, she stood up again, chose a direction, and then... rushed away]

[Her companions... her teammates are gone, all dead, leaving only her... She is now alone. In other words, she has nothing to worry about.]

[After changing her posture and having no companions or team members to take care of, Hua, as a fusion warrior, has improved her combat power and mobility by several levels. After running and fighting day and night, Hua successfully crossed the long land and came to the seaside... Don't get me wrong, she has no intention of jumping into the sea.]

[She was just...trying to vent in this way again]

[After all, after becoming like this, she still doesn’t know what to do]

[She thought she was still the same person, her thoughts were still clear, but the aura she exuded and the changes in her body made her somewhat hesitant...]

[Therefore, she could only vent her troubled thoughts by running and fighting non-stop. At the same time, she could also check on the people in the shelters along the way and clean up some of the "sea sutras" to reduce the probability of them encountering accidents.]

[Of course, she did all this while hiding from people’s sight. To others, they could only see a ball of fire with red tail feathers passing by from a distance or nearby, dispersing the humid air while burning all the “sea heirs”, like a giant bird covered in flames flying by.]

[…Hua doesn’t know how to face other people right now, and she doesn’t know how others will judge her like this, so she can only do this]

[And...she does need some time to think...]

[But unfortunately, Hua still overlooked the powerful aura he exuded, as well as the special characteristics of Destobia and Aponia, who were also fusion warriors.]

[When Hua broke through most of the Mu Continent and came directly to the seaside, Aponia sensed her... After all, in the Mu Continent full of humidity and interference, a dry, clear and powerful breath was so obvious...]

[Immediately, Aponia established contact with Hua, and then, Desdobia also came over. The two fusion warriors stranded on Mu Continent met again for the first time... and then Desdobia was frightened by Hua's appearance.]

[But it’s not bad, at least Hua still looks like a human, just with some extra things… and considering that Kaiji hates and rejects fire, Hua with such fiery power should not be Kaiji in human form… In addition, Aponia also confirmed that the Hua in front of her is still the same Hua.]

[In short, after a rather difficult and funny recognition session, the rejection and vigilance that Hua had expected did not appear. Instead, what came was only the care and love of his companions, and... Dr. Mei's request for a physical examination.]

[By the way, there is also a report requested by "Fire Moth"]

[Hua was stunned for a long time by the attitude of the crowd, and then he smiled with a little helplessness and self-mockery... He felt helpless that he had hesitated for so long on such things before, and he also laughed at himself for not trusting his companions so much that he was worried that they would not recognize him just because he changed his appearance...]

[As if to relieve the boredom in his heart, Hua also expressed these thoughts, and then received the comfort of Desdobia and the approval of Mei... Mei felt that Hua was not wrong to have such thoughts. This is human nature, especially in such an increasingly tense situation. It is normal to worry about what others think of you because of your own changes. Everyone will subconsciously have such concerns.]

[However, there are some things that Hua did not clearly understand... For example, after she became a fusion warrior, she had actually stepped into the "inhuman" realm... Especially since she was fused with a Honkai beast, it was normal for some special changes to occur. These were all written in the report left by Mebius, and were also within the expectations of Mei and "Fire Moth"]

[More importantly, the power Hua displayed is fire. If that's the case, there's no need to worry too much... You know, the main threat to Honkai right now is still Kaiji, and Kaiji hates fire and dry environments the most.]

Compared to Kaiji and the Herrscher in the sea, Hana’s situation is nothing.

[Even after Hua told her story about her and Einstein's experience, Hua was commended by the "Fire Moth" to thank her for helping the "Fire Moth" recover a lot of precious data and instruments, and even a lot of scientific researchers and trapped soldiers]

[Although it would be troublesome to go to the moon and bring them back, the advantage is that we don’t have to risk facing the “Herrser” and go deep into the Mu Continent.]

[In addition, there is also the consolation from "Fire-Chasing Moth"... After all, Hua is the only one who survived in the entire team, so comfort and recuperation are definitely necessary.]

[And no one questioned why Hua was the only one who survived... Come on, Hua was the only fusion warrior with incredible combat power in the entire team. It would be strange if she didn't survive, right? ]

[If I have to say something strange... it's why she was able to survive the hands of the Herrscher. This is indeed a questionable point.]

[However, after learning about Hua's current power, "Fire-Chasing Moth" felt a little relieved... With Hua in this state, the fighting power he showed was even comparable to Kevin and Alicia, and the power he possessed was fire... Perhaps he could indeed survive the hands of the "Herrser"? ]

[No, this is not enough. At the beginning, the Herrscher suppressed a group of fusion warriors for a long time. This level alone is not enough... Therefore, we still need to be careful.]

[Therefore, for a period of time afterwards, Hua acted together with Desdobia, with Desdobia directly supervising and Aponia observing remotely to prevent any abnormality from occurring in Hua...]

[But in the end, Hua behaved quite normally. Even after she joined, the "Fire Moth" saved a lot of people. After all, what "Hai Si" hated and rejected the most was fire, and Hua's power happened to be fire...]

[…Well, it seems that there is no problem. Hua is still Hua.]

["Fire-Chasing Moth" put his mind at ease for the time being. As for the deeper investigation, he will wait until Hua returns.]

[After that, there was a long and boring period]

[With the help of Eden, Mei successfully found the special frequency in the "Song" that would affect the fusion warriors and even humans. Then, together with Velvet and Klein, who gradually became proficient in his work, he developed an instrument that could reduce this effect and installed it one by one in the existing defense line.]

[This success has made the defense line of the "Fire Moth" stable again. After all, this has greatly reduced the temptation from the Honkai and the ocean, and the soldiers' mental state has greatly improved... Fortunately, Mei and others have come up with results.]

[Otherwise, "Fire Moth" would have ordered Aponya to force her to use "Discipline" to ensure the soldiers' mental state... But fortunately, everything happened so coincidentally and in time.]

[Later, "Fire Moth" also restarted the Fusion Warrior Project, letting Klein be the lead surgeon for the Fusion Warrior surgery, with Blanca assisting... Although the success rate of the surgery was much lower and there were many "failures", Klein once fell into depression and self-blame]

[But not many people blamed Klein. After all, not everyone is Mobius, and the decline in the success rate of the operation is understandable... What's more, those people did not die on the operating table, they just became "failures" and the fusion operation was not very successful.]

[Except for his strange appearance, some changes in his body, and mental instability... everything is pretty good.]

[Of course, more importantly... even these "failed items" have considerable combat power]

[Although they are certainly not comparable to the fusion warriors who have undergone successful surgery, they are much stronger than ordinary warriors. Therefore... after the discussion with the "Fire Moths", these "failed" warriors were also allowed to set foot on the battlefield, but the prerequisite is that they need to accept Aponia's "discipline" and undergo regular examinations.]

[Of course, these are nothing to the soldiers. When they were ordered to undergo the operation, they were already prepared to transform themselves into "non-humans"... Although it is a bit of a pity that they cannot become as handsome and powerful as Kevin, or as beautiful and powerful as Alicia, but... as long as they can contribute to protecting mankind, it is good enough.]

[For this reason, "Fire Moth" is also working hard on publicity so that ordinary people will not regard these warriors as "monsters"... No matter what, they are "heroes" who sacrificed their lives for humanity]
