Playful! Collapse!

At this moment, as if to show his miserable condition to the two of them, Yuan Yan raised his left hand.

"Her powers are to grow plants and create toxins. Unfortunately, I don't have a perfect Herrscher body after all."

"Compared to their perfect bodies, I was clearly disliked by Houkai. So after swallowing this third portion of the Herrscher's power, the toxin has begun to paralyze my body."

"Oh, sorry, excuse me... I was a little dazed and said too much."

After shaking his head vigorously, Yuan Yan changed his previous fierce expression and showed a gentle smile to the two of them.

"The force of corrosion is constantly eroding my consciousness. Before today, I was just an ordinary person after all."

"As an ordinary person, I don't have the strong willpower like you Valkyries. So in order to resist the erosion of my consciousness, I can only find a way to keep myself awake."

"Originally, the Thunder of Conquest was constantly disintegrating my body. As long as I had the ability to repair myself, I could rely on the pain it brought me to continue to maintain my spirit from being devoured by the collapse."

"But after gaining an extra core, I felt like the balance of this scale was completely broken. So, I can only seek new pain to keep me in this state..."

At this moment, Yuan Yan bowed to Youlandel sincerely.

"Thank you, Miss Atagina. Thanks to your Black Abyss White Flower, I can..."

"——Let me still pretend to be a human being."

It was obvious that the man in front of her was no longer treating her badly as before.

The expression on his face was obviously much softer than before.

But at this moment, the girl, who was not frightened by the Honkai Beast and was not forced back by the Herrscher, showed a look of horror after knowing Yuan Yan's current thoughts.

Judging only by her strength, she might already be one of the strongest people in the world. Maybe we can even remove the word "one of the strongest people".

But putting aside her strength, she is essentially just a girl born in 1998.

Before today, she...had never seen such a 'terrible' opponent.

On the other side, although Theresa did not show such an unbearable expression like Yulandel, Ms. Apokalis, who was looking at Yuan Yan, could not help but shiver.

She was a veteran who had seen a lot in battles, but now...

If we only look at the strength of Honkai energy, Xilin back then was still stronger than Yuan Yan now.

But... this guy's aura and the feeling he exuded definitely overwhelmed Xilin, who was full of resentment back then.

Moreover, even though his body has become like this, he still maintains a normal and rational state and talks to us...

Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason why I think this guy is too scary.

After Yuan Yan said this, the three people present fell silent at the same time.

As if to break the deadlock, Yuan Yan, as the person who spoke the most and thought the most among the three, finally chose to speak up.

"Okay, this boring chat ends here."

"I'm different from you two. I've already copied the 'boss' Cocolia."

"Now that I know my boss is a bastard, I have no interest in continuing to be a dog for this scumbag."

"If you two are alright, then I should proceed with the next move."

"you......"

At this time, Youlandel suppressed the discomfort in her heart and asked Yuan Yan.

"Since you didn't attack Hyperion, and you don't intend to fight me, and you're not the real murderer who injured Rita, then..."

"—What on earth are you planning to do?"

"Ah, didn't I say that before?"

After tapping his head lightly with the finger bones of his left hand, Yuan Yan said with a hint of regret.

"Oh, sorry, my head has been hurting and it might have affected my memory."

"Anyway, my plan is simple."

"The destruction of Changkong City this time was essentially caused by the birth of the Herrscher."

"In this case, I have a guess."

"I'm not the true owner of the Herrscher Core or the Pseudo-Herrscher Core. So even if I seize the Herrscher Core, in the eyes of the God of Destruction, I'm just a thief, not his apostle."

"Judging from the fact that the Thunder of Conquest has been destroying my body, my gamble has been successful. Furthermore, the progress of the large-scale collapse in Changkong City has temporarily slowed down considerably. I can now proceed with my subsequent plans."

"Return to Changkong City from the suburbs, and then seize the core of another Herrscher. This way, Changkong City will be without a legitimate Herrscher, and the outbreak of the Honkai will be delayed significantly."

"As long as I absorb all of Changkong City's Honkai energy during this process, then even if a Honkai outbreak occurs in Changkong City without Honkai energy, it will only cause a small-scale disaster."

At this moment, Yuan Yan saw from the eyes of the two Kaslanas that they had exactly the same idea.

"Don't look at me like this person is absolutely crazy. If you think this method is inappropriate, please give me a better one."

"...Please wait a moment."

At this moment, Yulandel, realizing that the seriousness of the matter was beyond her expectations, had put aside all her doubts.

In fact, she really wants to ask the other party something, but for her now, saving Changkong City is more important than tracing her own past and secrets.

No matter how Yuan Yan viewed her, Yulandel always considered herself a Valkyrie.

The so-called Valkyrie should stand on the front line against Honkai to protect humanity.

And now, Changkong City might be saved - under this premise, she still hoped that Yuan Yan would not use such extreme means to do something that was almost exactly the same as self-destruction.

Before carrying out the mission, she asked Otto what kind of weapon the Moonlight Throne was.

As a result, after Otto sent her the design drawings of the Moonlight Throne, she, who could not understand the drawings at all, learned from Alvette that this thing was a super weapon that could convert Honkai energy into conventional energy.

"Lord... Otto once said that you, Anti-Entropy, possess a weapon taken from Destiny, the Moonlight Throne, which can convert Honkai energy into conventional energy. As long as you have that thing..."

After realizing that Yuan Yan was looking at her as if she were an idiot, Youlandel asked in a low voice feeling very guilty.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Ha... The Moonlight Throne was taken away from Destiny. That's exactly what that bastard would say."

After saying this, Yuan Yan looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky.

"This thing is something that emerged from the information left by a previous civilization, but it dates back several decades."

"Back then, there was no organization called Anti-Entropy. There was only the North American branch of the Mandate of Heaven, which was leading the technological revolution at the time."

"The North American branch back then was teeming with talent. One of them, after obtaining information about the Moonlight Throne, was able to develop this powerful weapon against the Houkai."

Although the other party had not finished the story, Theresa and Yulandel seemed to have guessed what would happen next.

"Oh, there's actually nothing much to say about what happened next. For some unknown reason, dear Mr. Apokalys secretly had his men tamper with the experimental data, leading to the death of that researcher."

"The subordinate, unaware of the dire consequences he would inflict, was tormented and immediately tried to reveal the truth to others. However, Otto silenced him. Before his death, Otto had told him to reunite with his family."

"And this person is the father of Walter Yang, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance. As for why the North American branch later became Anti-Entropy... Ha, I said too much."

Yuan Yan, feeling his thoughts gradually diverging, looked at Youlandel with sharp eyes.

"Back then, Otto was afraid of the Moonlight Throne, and killed his men because of it."

"And now, if the Moonlight Throne were to appear in the urban area of ​​Changkong City, Otto would definitely do everything in his power to destroy this armed force that he considers a threat."

"I'm certain that those conscientious executors will definitely come over here with the Moonlight Throne. That's why I'm absorbing the Honkai energy before then, leaving the Moonlight Throne no chance to show its weakness to Otto."

"Well, I feel that a new balance has been formed in my body. It's time to take action. As for you..."

After feeling that he had basically said everything he should and shouldn't say, Yuan Yan was too lazy to continue arguing with the topic.

As the flying wings were once again stimulated by power, Yuan Yan slowly flew up from the ground and soared into the air in front of the two people.

"Forget it, I've wasted enough time on you."

"I'm going to be very busy from now on. If you're worried about your companion, send her to get treated immediately."

“…No need.”

At this time, Youlandel listened to Yuan Yan's words and spoke directly to Yuan Yan.

"I've already treated Rita's injuries with white flowers. As for you... Mr. Yuan Yan, I still can't fully believe what you said."

"Well, that's normal."

After nodding slightly, Yuan Yan said to Youlandel with a smile on his face.

"Rather, as Otto's lackey, you've already given me enough respect by listening to what I've said."

"...No matter what you think of me, I can't let you continue to act like this."

At this time, Youlandel, who had created a big tree with white flowers, used the rapidly growing tree to catch up with Yuan Yan who was rising into the air.

"Perhaps you haven't noticed yet, but from now on, you have become more and more abnormal."

"You sometimes smile and sometimes get angry. In my opinion, your mood keeps switching, which is a sign of your emotional instability."

"Yeah—so you're saying that my soul has been devoured by the Honkai, and you're worried that I, this damned Herrscher, will become even stronger, making it difficult to deal with this huge trouble later, right?"

Looking at the other party's eyes full of mockery, Youlandel gritted her teeth and nodded at Yuan Yan.

"Yes, that's exactly it."

"Although you doubt that Bishop Otto will directly attack the Moonlight Throne, I can guarantee with my integrity—"

"Your character is worthless in my eyes, Yulandel."

At this time, when Yuan Yan felt that his internal organs were about to disappear again, he once again used the Fighting God's Heavenly Body to completely repair his internal organs and his arms that had been completely corroded by the withering black mist.

"I'm different from you. I won't let the words of my enemies shake my faith, so..."

"——We're all warriors. Picking up weapons and starting a fight is easier than anything else!"

At this moment, the water shield that had just appeared around Yuan Yan was directly shattered by his energy.

Yuan Yan, who had absorbed the water flow into his body, now condensed the various powers in his body into the magic crystal gauntlet and the seven thunders of cleansing sins on his right hand.

“Hey, hey hey hey!!!”

Theresa, who was below, saw that Yuan Yan seemed to be planning to take real action, and she could no longer sit still.

"Wait, there's absolutely no reason for us to fight—"

"Everyone in Changkong City is about to be killed by Houkai, and you people from Tianming are still standing in front of me - at this time, you tell me you don't want to fight?"

Looking at Yulandel who obviously didn't want to fight with him, two flashes of lightning flashed in Yuan Yan's eyes.

"This is a battlefield, we are soldiers, and since we are holding weapons and blocking the enemy, then..."

"——I think you won't complain if I kill you!"

After seeing the other party's aura surge to a new peak again, Yulandel felt much calmer in her heart.

Regardless of whether there was evidence to support what Yuan Yan had said before, at this moment, she agreed with what Yuan Yan said.

Both sides stood in front of each other with weapons in hand, and at this moment, she actually thought that maybe she didn't need to continue fighting...

Ha, for Yuan Yan who doesn't trust Otto, I have become an obstacle to his saving Changkong City... This is understandable.

That’s why I can’t let him continue to do this.

Whether he is good or evil, he is now too extreme.

The more extreme the Herrscher's mood is, the more likely he or she will be bewitched by the 'Will of Honkai' that keeps whispering in his or her ear.

in this case......

Facing this powerful enemy, the girl now clenched the spear in her hand.

If we have to fight, then there should be no hesitation!

The explosiveness and decomposition capabilities of the power of thunder are difficult to deal with, and I have no experience with the other two powers of Herrscher.

But I can feel that he has concentrated a lot of strength on the armor and sword in his right hand...

It feels like this sword is also the key of God.

In this case, his most threatening attack would only be the next one.

If I just dodge, then he won't be able to defend himself after wasting so much energy, but...

Feeling that she was being locked down, Yulandel only realized at this moment that a lot of cold sweat had seeped out of her back.

Can I really hide away?

Now he has the ability to fly, and I can only stay in this position with the help of the giant tree.
