Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

"Can you still move? Do you need my help?" Li Wen asked Rita caringly as he looked at her trembling legs.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Li Wen." Rita refused.

"Hmm..." Li Wen pondered for a moment and nodded. "I roughly understand your idea. Although it might be better to let Miss K hold you, I'm afraid she can't protect herself right now."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Kiana. At this moment, Kiana relaxed and felt a little weak. She leaned against the wall to support herself and barely avoided falling down.

"Why are you here?" Kiana sighed as she looked at Li Wen who appeared.

Although she was saved again by the other party, she couldn't be happy at the moment.

She didn't want to involve the other party, especially after knowing that "Shencheng Pharmaceutical" might have an even more terrifying background.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? Why didn't you call me when you acted alone? Aren't we companions?" Li Wen glared at her unhappily.

If it weren't for the system prompt and the note Kiana left for him, he would probably only have time to collect the bodies of these two.

Chapter 19: The Beginning of the Experiment

Kiana thought about it and finally nodded silently without explaining.

After all, Li Wen has already appeared here, so it’s useless to say anything.

"……Why?"

A faint sound came from another direction.

Li Wen looked up and saw that the owner of the voice was the hot girl who had fought with Kiana before.

"...Why?" Raven spoke again.

"Why?" Li Wen was a little confused.

"Hoo-hoo-hoo..." Raven had difficulty breathing due to the severe pain in her abdomen, but even so, she began to speak insistently, "Why doesn't the serum gas work on you?"

"Serum gas? Are you referring to this smoke?" Li Wen looked at the gas bomb that was still spraying gas out.

"Yes." Kiana nodded and explained to him, "These gases are mixed with a special serum that can eliminate the Houkai energy in our bodies. That's why Rita and I are trapped here."

"Eliminating the Honkai energy... no wonder." Li Wen nodded in realization. No wonder he looked so miserable when he saw the two of them.

This is Kiana, who also showed a puzzled look, "Yeah, why doesn't the serum gas have any effect on you?"

Hearing Kiana's question, Rita also cast a curious look.

"The reason is very simple." Li Wen spread his hands, "Because I don't need Honkai to fight."

Can you fight without collapse?

Everyone at the scene was a little confused for a moment. If they could fight without Honkai, then what could they use?

"It's a unique method of cultivation that I have." Li Wen looked at their confused faces and didn't plan to explain in detail. After all, he had spent a huge price to obtain the "Source Energy Cultivation Method" from the main god space, and there was absolutely no one else in this world who knew how to do it.

The main method of this "Source Energy Cultivation Method" is to absorb the energy wandering between heaven and earth, and use this energy to strengthen one's cells, bones, blood, etc., so that one can achieve all-round evolution.

Although Honkai energy is of very high quality, Li Wen has been absorbing this energy for cultivation recently, but his strength will not be affected without Honkai energy.

Therefore, he was able to easily defeat the raven in an environment filled with serum gas.

"By the way, since you have fought with Shencheng Pharmaceutical, you should have already investigated the conspiracy behind it, right?" Li Wen looked at Kiana and asked.

"Hmm." Kiana, her body growing increasingly weak, slid limply toward the ground. She said weakly, "Shencheng Pharmaceuticals plans to conduct an experiment called the Stigmata Project in Sky City. If they succeed, I'm afraid the entire Sky City will be completely destroyed."

"Using over 30 million people to conduct an experiment? That's truly outrageous."

Li Wen was also stunned when he heard the news, but he quickly calmed down. After all, he had seen even more cruel people over the years.

Then, his thoughts were entangled by another word.

"'Stigmata Project'... sounds familiar to me..." He frowned and pondered for a long time before finally finding the origin of the term in his mind. "One of the plans left behind by a previous civilization?"

Rita and Kiana's knowledge of the previous civilization was limited to its relics and technologies, so they were both surprised when they heard Li Wen's words.

"Ahem..." Raven continued with some difficulty, "I didn't expect you to know so much... But... you can't stop us..."

"Raven, your conspiracy has been exposed. You won't have the chance to carry it out." Kiana slumped on the ground and said coldly.

"Hehe..." Although his body was already very weak after being severely injured by Li Wen, Raven still laughed.

Her chest heaved, and even the intense pain couldn't stop her laughter.

"Miss Raven, what are you laughing at?" Rita suddenly had bad guesses in her mind.

Li Wen suddenly raised his head and looked towards the ceiling, his tone somewhat serious, "What did you do?"

"Nothing much. Just starting something that was ready to start a long time ago."

"Li Wen, what happened?" Kiana looked at Li Wen's solemn expression and realized that something was wrong, so she quickly asked.

"There's a violent surge of Honkai energy coming from above." Li Wen's expression grew increasingly serious. "I'm afraid their plan has already begun."

"I really underestimated you." Raven stared at Li Wen, "At first we only regarded that Herrscher girl as a threat, but we didn't expect you to be the most dangerous one.

"But it doesn't matter. Although I had long suspected that the plan might not go smoothly, I didn't expect that the precautionary preparations I made in advance would actually come in handy.

"The engine for detonation has already started. There's no time to stop it, no time to escape. You can only watch helplessly as the dust settles. Everything will follow the will of the snake."

"You're crazy..." Kiana stared at the other party with wide eyes in disbelief. She didn't expect the other party to be so determined that he would launch the so-called "Stigma Plan" regardless of his life.

"I'm not crazy, I'm clear-headed." Raven looked at Kiana with a hint of mockery in his tone, "Although you defeated me, I've already accomplished what I needed to do. The experiment has begun, and you can't change this outcome. I won this battle, Herrscher of the Void.

"How is it, angry?"

Kiana kept panting, staring at the other person for a long time, and finally looked away, casting her gaze on Li Wen. "Li Wen, take me there quickly. We must move that engine quickly to prevent the Honkai from breaking out."

Raven was a little stunned. She didn't expect that the murderer who caused the "Second Collapse" in front of her would ignore her ridicule at this moment, but instead wanted to destroy the "Stigmata Plan" and save the people in this city.

Li Wen also came over immediately after hearing Kiana's cry. He was also ready to take Kiana to the roof to check.

After all, this is still the territory of "Shencheng Pharmaceutical", and he is not very comfortable leaving Kiana here alone.

Thinking of this, he first picked up Kiana, then turned his head to look at another companion, "Ms. Rita, do you need help?"

"No need to bother, Mr. Li Wen," Rita replied softly, and then a black and green mechanical dog appeared in front of them. "Alvette just remotely modified the Shadow Iron's control mode for me. With the Carbon Hunter here, I won't be in any danger. Besides, reinforcements from Destiny are on the way."

At this moment, she had already received information from Alvette and others.

"I can rest assured that."

After listening to the other party's words, Li Wen nodded. Since the other party's safety was guaranteed, he didn't have to worry about anything.

So he immediately picked up Kiana and ran towards the top floor.

Chapter 20 I Accept Your Will

"There's no way they'll succeed." Looking at the two people leaving, Raven sneered.

"Hehe..." A light laugh came out of Rita's mouth. Although she tried her best to remain elegant, her weak body at the moment made her look a little embarrassed.

Although there was a smile on her face, the coldness in her eyes was fully revealed.

After all, if Kiana and Li Wen had not arrived one after another, she and the "Immortal Blade" would probably have been completely defeated here.

"Rather than worrying about others, Miss Raven, you should worry about yourself. I'm curious, how will you defend your crimes in the judgment of Destiny?"

"Excuse me? I don't need to. Everything is the will of the Snake. I'm just a mercenary who does things for money." Raven snorted coldly, and a jar suddenly slipped out from her cloak, rolling on the ground and making a dripping sound.

Immediately afterwards, thick smoke billowed, instantly obscuring Rita's vision.

This time it was just an ordinary smoke bomb.

But since she no longer had the fighting power, Rita did not dare to act rashly and could only let the carbon-based hunter stay by her side.

By the time a breeze blew and the smoke cleared, the raven had long disappeared.

Rita glanced around silently, focusing her gaze on the pools of scarlet blood on the ground, and finally sighed slowly.

……

"What's going on with this fluctuation?!" Tesla looked at the signal on the detection instrument and suddenly widened his eyes.

"Dr. Tesla, what's wrong?" Mei looked at Tesla's appearance and asked quickly.

"Just now, the concentration of Honkai energy in this area suddenly increased rapidly. If this situation continues, a massive Honkai disaster will occur sooner or later."

"Could it be Kiana?" The first person that came to Jizi's mind was her student. The other party had three Herrscher cores in her body. Once some accidents occurred, a disaster like the previous Great Collapse might break out.

This made her a little anxious.

Although she knew from previous photos that Kiana was with Li Wen, no matter how magical Li Wen was, he might not be able to cure Kiana's condition.

"Kiana..." Hearing Jizi's guess, Mei couldn't help but think of Kiana's painful expression before, and suddenly became very worried.

"It's hard to say." Tesla shook his head, then said seriously, "Whether it's Kiana or not, we need to look at the specific situation. Although this is the territory of Tianming, we can't just sit back and watch when encountering such a situation."

So, with the consent of the three, the Helios immediately headed towards the "Divine City Medicine" location.

……

Li Wen kept jumping up and down the stairs and soon arrived at the top floor of the "Shencheng Pharmaceutical" industrial zone building.

Unlike the pyramid shape of the administrative district, this building is no different from a normal industrial building.

Therefore, on the empty top floor, Li Wen saw the engine running continuously at a glance.

In this case, it would be more appropriate to say that the object was a bomb rather than an engine.

As it was overloaded and unable to stop, the engine continued to gather a large amount of Honkai energy, so that the entire engine turned into a rich purple under the wrapping of this Honkai energy.

It is conceivable what a terrible disaster it would cause once it is completely detonated.

"Take me there." In order to facilitate Li Wen's actions, Kiana, who was trying her best to stay in Li Wen's arms, saw the engine and immediately spoke.

"What do you want to do?" Li Wen looked down at Kiana.

"I can use the power of the Herrscher of the Sky to send it high into the sky, so that the people in Sky City will not be affected." Kiana said weakly.

As Li Wen was moving forward, she discussed the possibility of this plan with Fu Hua. Under Fu Hua's full suppression of the Herrscher of the Void, she, having abandoned her fear, was able to do it.

"You should be very clear about the condition of your body. You can't come into contact with Honkai energy anymore, it will accelerate the speed of your collapse. Both physically and mentally." Li Wen said seriously.

But what responded to him was a pair of eyes flashing with determination. Kiana Kaslana had already made a decision.

Even if it means sacrificing herself, she will save the people of Sky City.

Looking at the other person's appearance, Li Wen shook his head helplessly, "I recognize your will, but now is not the time for you to fight to the death."

As he spoke, he gently placed Kiana in his arms on the ground, leaned against the water tank, and then walked towards the Honkai engine alone.

"What are you going to do?" Kiana shouted anxiously.

"Same as you." Li Wen didn't turn around, his tone still very relaxed, "I dared to bring you up here, of course I have my own methods. Just sit there and wait for me."

"Come back quickly and don't come any closer." Kiana shouted again.

Even though she had three Herrscher cores in her body, she could still feel the extremely terrifying Honkai energy surrounding the engine.

Although Li Wen is extremely powerful, how can he compare with her as a Herrscher in terms of resistance to Honkai energy?

Therefore, she began to use the core of the Herrscher of the Void to extract Honkai energy from the imaginary space, wanting to act quickly and pull Li Wen back.

However, although the withdrawal of Honkai energy can resist the serum gas that is still taking effect in the body, the feeling of weakness in the body cannot be eliminated in a short time.

So, she could only watch Li Wen walk forward.

"As expected of a plan to baptize an entire city, this is quite a lot of energy."

Li Wen sighed and put his palm on it.

The moment he placed his palm on it, the Honkai energy swirling around seemed to have found an outlet and immediately flowed madly into his body through his palm.

Under the baptism of a large amount of Honkai energy, light pink lines began to appear on his neck and face.

However, Li Wen did not care. This was just a manifestation of energy overflow. With his terrifying physical fitness, even if he was injured, he would heal quickly.

Under his traction, the Honkai energy that flowed into his body flowed along the channel he had prepared long ago and flowed towards a colorless seed.
