Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

Under the pressure of so many thoughts, she couldn't help but feel much more depressed, as if she was almost unable to breathe.

But even so, she still forced herself to suppress her instincts and continued to control this scarred body to walk towards that direction.

Despite all the possibilities, she still wanted to take a chance.

A chance for the captain to recover.

However, when she stepped into that purgatory again, all her hopes and prayers turned into despair.

The raging flames were covered by ice, and Himiko's body had been pierced by the ice spikes, with gorgeous blood flowers blooming on her body.

As the blood dripped, hot steam rose from the ice spikes. She couldn't tell for a moment whether it was the conflict between the power of the Herrscher and the ice spikes, or the heat from the blood.

Hua no longer has the ability to distinguish these things.

She only knew that Himiko's life had come to an end when the ice spike pierced her body.

She recognized the man who had killed the captain.

He was the captain's comrade-in-arms, and he had seen the two of them having a cordial conversation at a dance.

And now, he had taken the captain's life.

The friendship of the past vanished under the term "Herrser".

The two men faced each other with swords, and in the end, one of them took his life.

Hua understood that this was the mission of the "Fire Moth". As a soldier, she had to accept it and obey.

But even though her rational side made her accept this situation, her emotional side still drove her actions.

She ran towards the limp body without hesitation.

The scene is frozen here.

Li Wen and Kiana returned to the starting point in silence.

The scene just now confirmed their guess again that Himiko, who turned into the Herrscher of Fire, was the key to this trial.

And by following Hua all the way this time, they have successfully locked down Himiko's specific location.

So, without hesitation, Kiana used the power of the Herrscher to teleport herself, Li Wen, and Blake to the coordinates she had recorded.

Chapter 13 I Can Give Her to You

After the teleportation was completed, Li Wen and Kiana were attacked as soon as they stepped out of the wormhole.

Li Wen waved his hand casually, and the "power of the world" condensed in front of his eyes, forming a thin transparent light shield that easily blocked the oncoming flames.

The red-haired woman seemed to be surprised that her flames could be resisted so easily, and was slightly stunned.

But she quickly came to her senses and her bloodthirsty smile returned to her face.

The face that looked quite similar to Himeko showed such an expression, which made Kiana very uncomfortable.

In addition, she had already anticipated the other party's ending, so she simply closed her eyes, hugged Blake, and stopped looking at the scene in front of her.

Facing Himiko's attack, Li Wen did not hesitate and a long sword appeared in his hand.

The "power of the world" in the body gushed out along the meridians and was infused into the long sword, revealing a hazy halo on it.

As the halo flowed, it seemed as if there were floating stars. The long sword was filled with an extremely terrifying power, which made Himiko's face full of murderous intent reveal a trace of fear.

Without paying attention to the other party's reaction, Li Wen directly swung his sword.

The whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness, with only a long sword carrying flowing divine light, bursting with unmatched sharpness.

boom--

Although it looked extremely slow, in fact, in just a moment, the long sword fell straight towards Himiko with unparalleled power.

Under the pressure of such terrifying power, Himiko's body instantly turned into ashes.

Immediately afterwards, the sword light continued to move forward without slowing down, and it fell directly on the barren land, tearing a huge, invisible crack in the ground.

Li Wen waited quietly without sheathing his sword.

However, to his surprise, the sword mark extending towards the end of the earth froze again, and with the rippling of the water, the world was reset again.

"Why are we back again, meow?" After hearing the sound stop, Blake opened his eyes immediately and looked around, only to find that he and others had returned to the original place.

"Killing the Herrscher... doesn't seem possible."

Li Wen frowned.

According to his speculation, the reason why the Herrscher of Death was able to complete the previous trial was definitely because the Herrscher of Death died at the hands of the "Fire Moth" before causing the heavy casualties recorded in history.

But with the help of Kiana's teleportation, I rushed here in the first time and killed the Herrscher of Fire, but still failed to complete the task. Why?

He began to think carefully.

Is it not necessary to kill the Herrscher in order to pass the trial?

Or, can't the Herrschers die at my hands? Must they die at the hands of the Fire Moths?

After thinking about it, Li Wen still couldn't come up with an answer, so he had to ask Kiana to use her power to teleport himself and others to the location of the Herrscher of Fire again.

This time, he did not act rashly to kill the opponent directly, but injured the opponent first, and then used the "power of the world" to imprison the opponent directly.

He planned to continue waiting for the "Fire Moth" people and then see what the situation would be.

After all, the previous inference had been overturned, and he had to use other methods to confirm again what the requirements of this trial were.

He waited patiently like this, and soon he met his expected target - Kevin.

He didn't need to observe, just feel the sudden drop in temperature around him, and he was aware of the other party's arrival.

At this point in time, the opponent had just become a fusion warrior, becoming the only surviving example in this impossible experiment, and gained extremely powerful strength.

However, the imperfection of the fusion warrior surgery also brought him great sequelae, and the uncontrollable cold aura surrounding his body was the best proof of this.

On the other hand, after completing the experiment, Kevin rushed to the battlefield immediately.

He felt neither the joy of surviving the experiment nor the heroic spirit of bringing about a solution to the disaster. Instead, he felt only an extremely heavy heart.

He had to face the fact that he had to kill his former comrades with his own hands.

This torment continued to corrode his heart, causing his mood, which had recovered somewhat after the Herrscher of Death incident, to plummet again.

When he arrived at the battlefield with a heavy heart, he found that the situation seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

Himiko did not continue to destroy the land as she had expected, but was subdued by a man and a woman.

The hazy halo was like a rope, tightly wrapped around Himiko, firmly restraining her every move.

This bizarre scene even stunned Kevin for a moment. When he came to his senses, he immediately called out to Mei on the communication channel, "Mei, I've arrived at the scene."

"How is Himiko doing?" Mei's voice was as calm as ever.

"...She has been subdued." Kevin hesitated slightly and described the scene in front of him.

"So fast?" Mei was a little surprised. Didn't Kevin just arrive there?

Although according to her prediction, it would not be difficult for Kevin, who had become a fusion warrior, to defeat the Herrscher, she was still shocked that the other party was able to complete the task so quickly.

What's more, according to Kevin's words, Himiko, who had transformed into the Herrscher of Fire, was not killed but captured.

This was even more beyond her expectations.

"It wasn't me." Kevin realized that Mei might have misunderstood and quickly said, "Two strange men and women subdued Himiko."

"Strangers..."

Mei fell into deep thought.

According to the detected data, Himiko should be the only Herrscher at the scene, which means these two people are definitely not Herrschers.

However, since the opponent was able to easily defeat the Herrscher, why did the "Fire Moth" have no news about him?

Could it be another situation similar to that of the Fifth Herrscher?

She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Don't act rashly. Try to communicate with them first and find out their intentions."

"I understand." Kevin nodded, then walked directly towards the two people in front of him.

He closed the distance a little, and just as he was about to ask, the man opposite spoke, "Are you here for her?"

Looking at the smiling man, Kevin hesitated slightly, but finally nodded.

"I can give her to you, but I have one condition."

Chapter 14 Welcome to the two of you

"What conditions?" Kevin's expression relaxed slightly.

Looking at the subtle changes in Kevin's expression, Li Wen chuckled.

From Kevin's expression just now, he had already judged the general situation. The trials were separate, so Kevin did not know them.

So, in order to gain trust, he chose to use conditions to make the other party feel that he wanted something.

After all, the world is bustling with people, all seeking profit. When one puts forward one's demands, one also finds a reasonable explanation for one's actions.

"I can hand her over to you, but I need the research data of the "Fire Moth" on the Herrscher." Li Wen said.

Kevin's expression darkened slightly.

The Herrscher is the most terrifying creature born during the Collapse. Therefore, research data on the Herrscher is of paramount importance in the entire "Fire Moth". He has no power to make this decision.

Just as he was about to ask on the communication channel, Mei's voice came out, "Promise him."

"Ah."

Hearing Mei's words, Kevin nodded immediately.

Since Mei had already said so, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

So he said to Li Wen, "Fire Moth can agree to your terms."

"Very good." Li Wen was not surprised by this. After all, the Herrscher of Flame had been captured by him. As a rare living specimen, he believed that the "Fire Moth" that aimed to fight against Honkai would not give up this goal.

"So, how should we trade?" Li Wen spread his hands. Although he was planning to go to the headquarters of "Fire Moth" with the other party, he should not say this, otherwise it would seem that he had ulterior motives.

"Mei, what should we do?" Kevin asked in the communication channel.

"Bring them to headquarters." Mei's voice came into Kevin's ears again.

Although Kevin thought it was too risky to bring such an unknown person directly to the headquarters, he never doubted May's decision, so he agreed directly.

Afterwards, according to Mei's request, he informed Li Wen and Kiana of the plan. Naturally, the two did not refuse, and they directly took the Herrscher of Fire and followed Kevin onto the transport ship heading to the headquarters of the "Fire Moth".

There were no other soldiers in the entire transport ship except Kevin, as if this transport ship was prepared just to bring him here.

Li Wen could roughly guess the reason.

Given the terrifying coldness revealed by the other person's body, it would be difficult for normal soldiers to stay with him.

Perhaps it is because of such concerns that Kevin is the only one on this transport ship.

In the cabin of the transport ship, Kevin found a seat and sat casually.

The solid wall made of steel and the cold air he exudes complement each other perfectly, together forming an icy melody in this small space.

He didn't say anything, but just looked at the people in front of him from time to time.

Of course, his eyes were more on Himiko, his comrade-in-arms.

Although the other party had been tied up by the strange man in front of him and could not move and cause any damage, the expression in the other party's eyes and face told him one fact - the other party was no longer the Himiko he knew.

This fact made him more silent and more vigilant.

He secretly tightened his grip on the weapon.

If Himiko could cause any harm to the headquarters, he would have to end her life even if he felt reluctant.

Thinking of this, his breathing unconsciously became heavier.
