Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

However, Li Wen was faster than him.

At this moment, this distance is already within the radiation range of his own "World Power", so Li Wen did not hesitate. He immediately controlled the "World Power" to turn it into a prison and quickly suppressed the Ninth Ruler.

Although the greater the distance, the weaker the "world power" he can directly control remotely, but at this distance, it is easy for him to suppress a Herrscher.

Chaotic air currents emerged from all directions of the Ninth Herrscher. Before she could escape, the heavy pressure from the air currents made her unable to move. She could only watch helplessly as the chaotic air currents wrapped around her.

Under the rapid pressure, the chaotic airflow quickly formed a thin film around her, trapping her inside.

At this time, the heavenly fire that Kevin launched was finally unsheathed.

The raging flames directly hit the film, and the flames continued to spread and envelop, but failed to create the slightest ripple.

Kevin was confused when he saw that his attack was offset.

The person in front of me clearly helped me defeat the Herrscher, so why didn't he let me launch a fatal attack on the Herrscher?

Li Wen waved his hand and led the Ninth Herrscher to Kevin and the others, saying with a smile, "A living Herrscher is more valuable than a dead one."

"Are you going to hand over the Ninth Herrscher to us?" Hen asked tentatively.

Kosmo is a shy person, but Kevin's personality changed drastically after the events of the sixth and seventh Herrschers, and he became as cold as ice.

Therefore, the task of this kind of conversation fell solely on his shoulders.

"Of course." Li Wen smiled.

Henbushezhen and Kevin exchanged a glance. Although they couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking, since the other party was willing to hand over the Herrscher to them, they naturally had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, although the Ninth Herrscher is powerful, he has fallen into their hands and is temporarily unable to use his power. They naturally have ways to restrain him.

So, Hen smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much, sir."

As soon as Hen's voice fell, the whole world quickly froze.

【The fourth trial is completed.】

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward, "Fragment of the World's Origin"*1.]

Chapter 37: To all the friends of "Fire-Chasing Moth"

"Is this done?"

Li Wen was a little surprised when he heard the sudden prompt.

Frankly speaking, after dozens of attempts, they had finally subdued the Ninth Herrscher and handed him over to the Fire Moth.

However, judging from the situation at the time, if the world were to reset again, he and Kiana would definitely be able to rush to the scene in the first place to subdue the Ninth Herrscher. In this way, even the initial landmasses would not be destroyed.

Under such circumstances, the system's trial did not allow him to try again, but directly judged that he had passed the trial.

This made him very confused.

"Perhaps... the criterion isn't necessarily the number of humans rescued after the Herrscher is defeated... There must be some other mechanism involved that I'm not aware of."

Li Wen was secretly guessing in his heart.

However, he could at least be certain of one thing: when it came to completing the trial's mission, his interests were aligned with the Fire Moth's.

As long as he helps the "Fire Moth" control the Herrscher, he will have a high probability of completing the trial mission.

Thoughtful in his heart, he absorbed the newly acquired "fragments of the origin of the world" while quietly waiting for the scene to change.

He no longer expected to get out. According to his estimation, this trial mission might force him to fight all the way to the twelfth Herrscher, or even the Herrscher of the End...

He can only take one step at a time.

Not long after, the scene in front of him changed again.

Seeing the changing scene, Kiana and Blake realized that they seemed to have entered another trial.

Although they were still in the city at this moment, this city was obviously a little desolate compared to the ones they had encountered before.

There were very few people on the street, and the air was filled with a kind of "dead silence".

"Blake, hack into the network and check the current time." Li Wen directly instructed Blake.

Blake understood that Li Wen needed it to confirm the current timeline and which Herrscher they currently needed to face.

So, it gestured and immediately started its work.

Not long after, it raised its head and looked at Li Wen, giving its answer.

"I checked the time, and it doesn't seem to have been that long since that time. Also... I found some information about the Mu Continent we were on before. According to the internet, it sank due to an earthquake."

After a brief pause, Li Wen slowly spoke, "But this still confirms whether we are about to face the Tenth Herrscher, so we still need to confirm it in detail."

After hearing Li Wen's words, Blake immediately guessed the deep meaning of his partner's words.

It blinked and asked, "Are you planning on having me hack into the internal network of the Fire Moth?"

Li Wen nodded and said, "Yes. Since we can't confirm it in detail with external information, we can only rely on the information within the Fire Moth."

As the only organization left by the former civilization to fight against the Honkai, the Fire Moth must have detailed records of each Herrscher, otherwise the current civilization would not be able to obtain so much information.

Therefore, as long as Blake successfully hacked into the database of "Fire Moth" and checked the records about the Herrschers, they could directly confirm which Herrscher they were about to face.

"Okay meow." Blake could only nod and prepare to work according to Li Wen's requirements.

As for these areas that she didn't understand, Kiana watched quietly from the side without interrupting.

"Oh, right." Li Wen stopped Blake.

"What's wrong, meow?" Blake stopped waving his paws and looked at Li Wen in confusion.

Li Wen said solemnly, "If it turns out that we're facing the Tenth Herrscher—'Herrscher of Domination'—after the invasion, please leave a message for me on their internal documentation."

The science and technology of the previous civilization should never be underestimated. Although Blake can hack into the opponent's network, he will definitely be discovered by the opponent afterwards.

Therefore, in order to prevent the intrusion from being interrupted, he planned to let Blake leave a message as his stepping stone.

After all, if they were facing the "Herrs of Domination", without relying on the ability of the "Fire Moth", they would have no chance of finding all the individuals.

Therefore, he must gain the trust of the "Fire Moth" within a certain range and establish a basis for cooperation.

"Anything to add, meow?" Blake asked.

Li Wen thought for a moment, then organized his words and spoke them out.

……

Steam is rising from the coffee on the table.

Mei rubbed her forehead tiredly. She hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

In other words, the current situation does not allow her to rest.

The frequency of Honkai outbreaks is increasing, and the abilities of the Herrscher are becoming increasingly bizarre.

As the Fire Moths continue to grow and develop, the introduction of cutting-edge technology, the Key of God, and the Fusion Warriors to combat Honkai have not brought them peace.

The destruction caused by the Herrschers that appeared was greater than the last.

The emergence of the Sixth Herrscher caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, the Seventh Herrscher burned down the entire Australia, and the Eighth Herrscher caused millions of people around the world to fall into a coma.

By the time of the Ninth Ruler, the entire Mu Continent was completely devoured.

One-sixth of the world's population was directly lost.

This exaggerated number made all the members of "Fire Moth" feel heavy in their hearts.

After acquiring countless technologies, their losses were even more horrific than when they initially had no means to counter the collapse, which caused many people inside to fall into despair.

Although Mei also felt extremely tired, as the leader of the "Fire Moth", she could never reveal this side of herself.

Therefore, she could only devote all her energy to research, hoping to rely on better technology to fight against the collapse.

Of course, in order to ensure that the human race can continue even if they fail, several plans for continuing the human race were also placed on her desk.

She picked up the cup and took a sip of the coffee. Just as she was about to continue reading the plans, the system alarm suddenly sounded.

Who could have breached the Fire Moth's network defenses?

She frowned, immediately put down the cup, and began to look up the relevant intrusion records.

After a while, she stared at the records in front of her and fell into deep thought. "I didn't look for experimental data, nor did I look for anything else. I just looked through some materials related to Herrscher..."

She tapped the keyboard and continued to scroll down.

Suddenly, a message deliberately left by the invader caught her attention.

"To all the friends of "Fire Moth"..."

Chapter 38: Signed by "Heaven's Will"

“To all my friends at Fire Moth.

“I would like to congratulate you.

"You have come a long way in the fight against the collapse.

"One by one, the Herrschers fell before your swords.

"However, in the process of fighting it, you also paid a painful price.

"From the First Herrscher to the Ninth, in every war, humanity always needs to use those bloody numbers to understand the sacrifices they have made.

"Even in the recent Herrscher of the Rock incident, Mu Continent was completely submerged, resulting in horrific casualties equivalent to one-sixth of the world's population.

"It's really devastating."

Mei frowned upon seeing this. The other party's invasion was not that long. According to the invasion records she had checked, the other party had only opened the database related to the Herrscher and had not even opened any document.

So, how did the other party know that Mu Continent disappeared because of the Herrscher?

With doubts, Mei continued to look below the message.

"Therefore, I can reveal some information about the next Herrscher."

Information about the next Herrscher?!

Seeing this, even Mei, who was usually calm, couldn't help but shrink her pupils slightly and reveal an incredible look.

You know, even though the "Fire Moth" has defeated nine Herrschers so far, they still haven't figured out the law of the Herrscher's birth.

Things related to collapse are always so unfathomable.

They could only rely on the massive collapse and high-intensity Herrscher reaction that erupted after the opponent appeared to lock down the approximate area, and then send out the corresponding team to attack.

Therefore, even if they were able to win in the end, it would only be a pyrrhic victory.

After all, they had to wait until the Herrscher and the Great Honkai appeared before they could detect the relevant reactions. By the time the troops they sent arrived, the Herrscher had already completed the large-scale destruction.

If they knew the information about the next Herrscher to appear, they could prepare in advance and not be in such a hurry.

This is definitely a huge help in fighting against collapse.

However, no matter how hard the "Fire Moth" tried, it had no clue in this regard.

However, the person who hacked into the Fire Moth network claimed to know the information about the next Herrscher.

This made her suspicious.

Is the person who invaded the "Fire Moth" network just talking nonsense, or is "he" himself a Herrscher, and an existence similar to the Herrscher of Knowledge, who can directly pollute himself with relevant information?

After thinking about it for a while, she ruled out the second possibility.

If the other party really wanted to do this, they only needed to mark the first message with polluting words, and she would have been tricked. There was no need to be so cumbersome.

With this thought in mind, she continued to look down.

"The tenth Herrscher has been born, his name is—The Herrscher of Domination.

"You can also call it the Herr of the Thousand."

Mei frowned at this, "A Herrscher of the Thousand?"

"Yes, as you might have guessed, this 'Ruler of Herrscher' received this nickname because there are over a thousand of them."

A thousand Herrschers?!

Seeing this, Mei felt her heart stop for a moment.
