Speedrun Collapse!

Chapter 172: No One on the Throne

The End War has begun

Before the battle began, all the warriors participating in it knew that the enemy this time would be the strongest Herrscher.

But when the huge monster exuding a terrible sense of oppression appeared in front of them, everyone couldn't help but almost suffocated.

Even though they were still a certain distance away from the Herrscher of the End's true form, the terrifying Honkai energy intensity detected by the energy detector alone was enough to make everyone despair...

——If Lin Yu hadn’t stood at the forefront of the battle line.

Even though they knew that the energy intensity of the enemy before them was terrifyingly high, as long as everyone stared at that figure, they could feel the extremely strong confidence from the other party.

can win.

As long as that man leads us forward, we will definitely win!

"Well, procrastinating won't change anything."

"Dr. Ryusuke, let's begin."

After receiving Lin Yu's order, Ryusuke, who was in the Moonlight Throne Unit-01, directly began to lead the mass-produced Moonlight Throne troops to attack the Herrscher of the End.

It is a pity that the effect of the Moonlight Throne troops cannot be said to be completely ineffective, but it can only be said to be minimal.

Three minutes into the battle, the Moonlight Throne Unit-2 that Ryusuke was riding in only caused % energy loss to the Herrscher of the End.

The remaining mass-produced Moonlight Throne troops only caused 4% energy loss to the Herrscher of the End during this period.

A total of six percent energy loss doesn't seem to be a small amount.

However, according to everyone's estimation, it would take about 144 minutes for the Herrscher of the End, who had consumed all this energy, to fully recover.

If we only see these account data, everyone's confidence will definitely surge.

However, after seeing the data, Dr. Bianca, who worked as a data analyst at the headquarters, did not show any joy on her face.

The three minutes of full-force energy bombardment just now had actually consumed 50% of the energy of the Moonlight Throne troops.

This is all the resources that mankind has. Even if the logistics troops can replenish the energy in time, the energy cannon of the Moonlight Throne needs time to cool down and cannot maintain fire suppression for a long time.

Of course, if all Moonlight Throne pilots switch the Moonlight Throne to over-limit mode after starting the [Self-destruction Program], the output power can be increased a lot.

Although the Moonlight Throne will self-destruct within one minute in this mode, the Moonlight Throne troops operating at 200% power overload will increase their output efficiency to 1400% during this minute.

Of course, this huge improvement does not mean that the mathematical formula is completely useless.

In fact, according to Dr. Bianca's calculations, if the Moonlight Throne Unit-2 is only attacked in normal mode, then the attack of Unit- can only consume % of the total energy just enough to break the defense, just like it is now.

But if you use over-limit shooting, then after breaking through the opponent's defense, all the damage you deal will be real damage.

In this case, a 2% energy loss would become 28%, or 1400%.

In other words, as long as the Moonlight Throne troops enter the over-limit mode, they can directly use this exchange method to exchange 90% of the energy of the Herrscher of the End.

Moreover, the Moonlight Throne has activated its self-destruction program and no longer requires a driver to drive or operate it.

In this case, the pilots of the Moonlight Throne Force can completely withdraw directly back to the organization through the space teleportation ability of the Second God's Key.

But are things really that smooth?

However, the battle situation is urgent now, and neither Lin Yu, the commander on the scene, nor Dr. Bianca, the data analyst at the headquarters, have any intention of delaying any further.

Three seconds later, all members of the Moonlight Throne Force received the order to [initiate the self-destruct sequence].

Two seconds later, dozens of terrifying rays of light shot from all directions towards the still extremely scattered Herrscher of the End.

The expressions of the two Herrschers of the End, who were originally looking down at the battle troops like gods, finally changed completely under this wave of attacks.

The [God] who was so arrogant just now, now held his head and let out a painful wail because of this attack.

Although this burst of wailing made everyone in the combat unit feel very uncomfortable, but - if the opponent was in pain, it meant that the attack was effective!

"Something's wrong!"

At this time, Dr. Bianca, who was watching the data changes in the headquarters, said to everyone in the combat team.

"The situation has changed! With 6% of the Herrscher of the End's energy consumed, this attack only consumed about 50% of the opponent's energy!"

"what?"

Rita, who was ready to use Heavenly Fire to kill the opponent, suddenly stopped her action of releasing the Key of God.

"Protection mechanism... This is an unexpected change."

Looking at the End Herrscher in front of him whose eyes had obviously become much more ruthless, Lin Yu took the initiative to step forward and said to the people behind him.

"I'm going to meet it alone first. If it shows any weakness - leave me alone, chop me down too."

At this moment, everyone wanted to ignore the other party's orders and just follow.

But when they thought that Lin Yu had never failed in fighting against the Herrscher, at this moment, everyone suppressed their inner uneasiness and impulse and stopped their actions.

Precisely because Lin Yu had never failed in the past, they did not dare to do anything to disrupt the other party's plan.

Lin Yu took action and issued an order, which shows that he was really sure of his success.

At this time, instead of rushing forward impulsively, which might hold Lin Yu back and cause the battle plan to fail, they might as well stay where they are.

"Very good, that's it - don't move, I'll let you know when I need backup."

After confirming that no one else had caught up, Lin Yu activated the two Herrscher cores implanted in his body, and began to make the Herrscher Core of Reason and the Herrscher Core of Origin rotate frantically in his body at the same time.

It's not surprising that the Herrscher of the End has this kind of [defense mechanism].

For the people in the previous era, if the Herrscher of the End was an enemy that could be killed by just the ordinary Moonlight Throne, then Kevin and his [Pioneers] would not be so desperate.

Therefore, Lin Yu made a guess before taking action.

At the time of their decisive battle, did the scientific researchers at the headquarters guess that the Herrscher of the End had other mechanisms, which is why they did not pile up technology to prepare for mass production of the Moonlight Throne project from the very beginning of this era?

Lin Yu was not sure whether it was the illusion that completed this speculation based on Lin Yu's brain, or Su's subconscious mind felt that such a thing really existed.

But that doesn't stop him from wanting to do something now.

Now, Lin Yu, looking at the obviously angry Herrscher of the End in front of him, just wanted to beat this big piece of trash head-on.

Even if he was in an illusion, after spending several years with the people around him, how could Lin Yu completely regard the other party as an 'illusion'?

The time spent with the crowd may be hypocritical.

But the feelings that Lin Yu felt from them were absolutely real.

Because of the birth of Honkai, they gathered in the Fire Moth and were forced to become fighters who would risk their lives.

Maybe they also have happy memories in the organization, but - no one will thank Honkai for it.

Suffering is suffering, and suffering will not bring success.

Because of the advent of the collapse, humans are forced to face these disasters that they don't need to face.

Because of the operation of the Cocoon of the End, countless humans are forced to live in fear every day.

And now, the opportunity to defeat the enemy is right in front of us, and there is no need to have any other thoughts at this time.

"Alas, direct combat is not my style, so now..."

Lin Yu, who was floating in the air, snapped his fingers lightly at the Herrscher of the End in front of him.

"Just die under the pinnacle of human civilization!"

At this moment, countless imaginary doors opened behind Lin Yu.

In the Gate of Imaginary Numbers, the [Moonlight Throne Cannon], which was shaped by Lin Yu using two cores, slowly extended out from the gate at the same time, and aimed the cannon hole at the Herrscher of the End in front of him.

At the same time, Lin Yu was also "swallowed" by a Moonlight Throne.

Lin Yu entered the Moonlight Throne and looked at the Herrscher of the End in front of him. A look of shock appeared on his face, and then a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, I'm really scared."

"Unfortunately, there's no point in being afraid now."

"Ignite..."

“Fire!”

After uttering this word, the Moonlight Throne cannons behind Lin Yu all fired terrifying light cannons again, just like before.

Dr. Bianca, who was analyzing data in the base, was not optimistic about Lin Yu's move.

After the Herrscher of the End was 'enraged', the strength of her energy shield became significantly stronger.

If the Moonlight Throne could still cause some energy consumption to it in the situation just now, then now, the energy consumption that the Moonlight Throne can cause to it is negligible.

This should have been an unsolvable situation.

However, when the first luminous cannon hit the energy shield on the surface of the Herrscher of the End's body, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

Although the Moonlight Throne troops just consumed half of the energy of the Herrscher of the End through excessive shooting, the Herrscher of the End only showed a painful expression at most.

The energy shield on its body only consumed its energy and broke a part of its defense. At least from the appearance, the shield was still "complete".

But now, after the Moonlight Throne that Lin Yu was riding launched the first attack, the shield of the Herrscher of the End was actually directly penetrated? ? ?

No, what on earth is going on?

After seeing this miraculous blow, Dr. Bianca immediately began to frantically calculate the energy intensity of this blow.

But soon, she calculated an unexpected number.

The energy intensity of this attack that broke through the Herrscher of the End was actually a little weaker than the previous over-limit attack of Unit-01? ? ? ?

There is no doubt that in terms of energy intensity, the firepower of this attack is not as good as the maximum output of Unit-01.

Strange, this... the energy intensity of the Herrscher of the End is really declining? !

It’s incomprehensible—but there’s no need to understand at this time!

"Rita, take your chance."

"Headquarters has detected that the energy intensity of the Herrscher of the End is still decreasing."

"When the opponent's energy strength drops to 20%, everyone will attack the Herrscher of the End together!"

"Roger that!"

After hearing the order from the headquarters, Rita was not completely relieved.

Lin Yu advanced alone and indeed achieved extraordinary results.

But with great power comes risk.

Everyone knows that Lin Yu has implanted the Herrscher core.

Even for a Herrscher, his body would be in danger after exceeding his limits.

If Rita hadn't been worried that her actions would distract Lin Yu, she would have really been unable to resist the impulse in her heart and was ready to chop him with a sword.

On the other side, Lin Yu, who had successfully launched the attack, felt pain in his brain.

Even with the assistance of Prometheus, Lin Yu still felt that he was overworking his brain.

Bianca at headquarters calculated the energy intensity and there was actually nothing wrong with it.

However, a move with weaker energy intensity, if delivered using a different method, can sometimes produce a stronger effect.

Before the war, Lin Yu had seen the overall design of the Moonlight Throne, and with the assistance of Prometheus, he calculated another way to launch the shooting.

During the past few years in the illusion, Lin Yu still devoted himself to studying the skills he had mastered.

And according to the characteristic of "people who possess this skill can conduct in-depth learning of various types of knowledge, so as to get closer to the essence of the corresponding knowledge", Lin Yu finally further understood the essence of the three skills [Magic Light Killing Cannon], [Slide Lantern Barrier], and [Sea Tiger Explosive Fist].

After understanding the nature of these three skills, Lin Yu had an idea.

If the Moonlight Throne's firearms system is added with the penetrating properties of the [Magic Light Killing Cannon] and the blasting properties of the [Sea Tiger Explosive Fist], will the attack method change?

Judging from the fact that he finally found a place himself and used the power of the Ruler of Reason to simulate the Moonlight Throne for testing, the answer is obviously yes.

But at the same time, because of the addition of these two characteristics, the firearms system of Moonlight Throne has to redesign the calculation formula, so it is very easy to cause the barrel to explode due to energy runaway.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Yu did not use these technologies on those Moonlight Thrones, but only treated the first batch of Moonlight Thrones as consumables that consumed energy.

At the same time, Lin Yu improved the Moonlight Throne by combining these two characteristics during the last period of time.

In his opinion, as long as the slide barrier is covered on the gun hole at the moment of shooting, the fired light cannon will be attached with the slide barrier.

Although this will weaken the output of the energy cannon, it can also amplify the stability of the energy cannon and use the slide barrier to weaken the strength of the opponent's energy shield.
