The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

The earth is wailing, but the humans living on it are not much panicked, just because this kind of shaking has been there for nearly two hours, and also because... their duty is to use their lives to sweep away this wave. The vibrations of half of the Old Continent are blocked here, preventing them from moving towards the more densely populated east. 6̳̳

If you want to ask why, maybe it's just because you want to protect your hometown.

The army-green tents and the camouflage nets hung with sparse grass blades were trembling slightly. It was not just the Honkai Impact that caused the earth to shake. It was also the countless Honkai Beasts and the thousand-meter-tall giants. Humanity himself.

Tanks and armored vehicles one after another drove into the grave-like pits amidst the roar. These heavy weapons that should have been galloping across the plains were now fixed in large and small " "Ambush position", used as a fixed fort. The crew climbed out of the armor protection one by one. The gunner fired the first shells by pulling the match rope. After confirming that the artillery was safe and usable, the crew members got back into the armor protection without saying a word - although Everyone knows that these defenses that can block ordinary human weapons will not be much stronger than a layer of paper in the coming war.

The arrival of the helicopter formation made the sky noisy, but they only hovered over the position for two weeks before turning back - this was just a preview of the upcoming defensive battle. Every helicopter formation must be familiar with being divided into Countless copies of the specific locations and conditions of defensive positions to provide timely and accurate support when needed.

The infantry company ran forward in neat steps amidst the shouts of "one two one" and the sharp whistling of whistles. After arriving at the designated position, with a few brief instructions from the officer, a complete company was directly broken up into There were nearly a hundred two-man tactical teams, with the sergeants carrying guns and one or two rocket launchers on their backs. They hunched over and took two steps forward, and soon completely disappeared into the endless desert.

Su Shang stood between the military tents, watching the staff officers walking around with folders under their arms. Occasionally, she also watched the soldiers with live ammunition disperse into the Gobi from more distant passages. The sounds of these people alone were enough for her. It's a drink to my ears, but there are still the debugging sounds of various electronic instruments, and the radar alarm sounds and disappears like a convulsion...

But she didn't know why, but she still felt that everything in front of her was too silent.

It was so quiet that I felt a little panicked.

Am I the only one who is so panicked?

Looking at the sunset slanting across the mountains in the distance, Su Chang couldn't help but think of something that had nothing to do with the war in front of her - what was Rakshasa doing at this moment? Speaking of which, the pressure on his side would be much greater than that on Dongfang, but he only sent a defense map through personal contact information and said nothing more.

Did he feel from the bottom of his heart that she could complete this task, so there was no need to say anything more, or was the situation so urgent that he had no time to say anything more?

Because she didn't know the specific situation, and the local layout was complicated, Su Chang never thought of contacting Otto to find out the situation until now.

But there seems to be no need to contact either.

She believed in that man's ability. Since she only gave him that defense map, it meant that all she had to do was to protect the current defense line and block all dangers from China. This was the best help to Rakshasa... It should be That's right.

However, compared to Rakshasa, who was still in contact with them to some extent, the master and senior Padu were silent.

What happened to the Herrscher of Consciousness? Or is the too strong Honkai energy in Central Asia blocking the transmission of signals?

The weather is bright today, but it's a pity that everything in the distance still looks so blurry.

However, the master's strength is enough to protect themselves. The photos they took earlier seemed to be in Europe, but with the master's seemingly ruthless temperament, once he finds that something is wrong, he will definitely return to China as quickly as possible. , maybe it's coming soon - Su Chang couldn't tell whether this was a rational analysis or wishful thinking for self-comfort.

As expected, she is not the type who is good at using her brain.

Taking a deep breath, Su Chang looked at the soldiers who had their heads down and said nothing, just silently executing orders, and then suddenly remembered that just like herself, most of them were just going to the military for the first time. battlefield.

In fact, she had passed death countless times in the past five hundred years, and these children who were too young compared to her had not even reached the age to think about death.

After realizing this, Su Chang saw the abnormality in the soldiers' footsteps when they were running. The footsteps made by the boots were heavy enough, but the knees seemed quite unnatural when they were bent, or they bent too fast, or they couldn't bend. She knew that this was because people unconsciously tightened their joints to the point of being unable to bend under tension. The performance of free movement.

Yes, their silence is not out of bravery, but out of fear that once they speak, they will reveal the fear and confusion in their hearts. So they were just silent, silent, paralyzing themselves by strictly obeying the officers' orders and making every tactical move to the extreme. They recall the slogans of the past and the essentials of every action they made on the training ground. Only in this way can their brains temporarily escape the shadow of death, although they also know that such thinking will have a negative impact on the coming monsters. It doesn't make any sense.

She also saw the trembling, pale lips of many soldiers. With her hearing, it only took one thought to figure out what those soldiers were silently reciting. But she won't do that because everyone needs some space. There is no need to do this, because by getting here, they have proven that they will not simply succumb to fear...

Yes, no matter who this person is, it is impossible to get rid of [fear] at the end of life.

But fear and courage are not in conflict, and often even appear together, just like these soldiers at this moment.

They are afraid of death. They know that they are about to face an enemy that may not be defeated at all, so they are afraid...fearful to the extreme.

But it is precisely because the fear has reached the extreme, and precisely because the taste of death is fully experienced, that courage also comes.

Because I don’t want the people I care about to feel this fear, because I don’t want people who shouldn’t bear the responsibility of being a “soldier” to feel this fear, because I don’t want people other than myself to feel this fear... So fear reacts. It has become the food of courage, because the so-called essence of human beings is to sacrifice one's life for something that is not mine.

So, there was more than just fear in that silence.

Su Shang walked around silently.

Turning the corner of the tent, she happened to bump into six or seven officers gathered together to smoke.

Each of them looked full of thoughts, but in a tacit agreement, no one spoke. They just stared at the ground under their feet, sucking hard on their cigarette holders, one after another, and then another, until they were all covered with cigarette holders. After they smoked out all their cigarettes, leaving the cigarette butts and packaging boxes on the floor, they waved their hands to each other, or bumped fists, and then walked in different directions.

Su Shang's figure was hidden in the corner of the tent and did not disturb them.

After walking a few steps further, she came to a very large tent.

The guard holding a gun saluted her, but she just nodded and then opened the curtain and walked in.

The tent was filled with the typing of keyboards and the beeping of alarms. Dozens of computers are placed in an orderly manner on both sides. In the middle of the venue is a huge 3D projection sandbox. Behind the sandbox, at the innermost part of the tent, is a huge screen made up of dozens of LCD screens, on which is playing The scene captured by a fighter formation taking off from the frontline airport at the risk of death - because the deposition of Honkai energy distorts space, light and shadow, and disrupts electric charges, satellites, high-flying reconnaissance aircraft, and long-distance controlled drones cannot change it. It became a useless waste. In the end, it could only rely on the life and courage of the pilot to bring back the information.

Thousand-meter-tall headless giants formed an unbreakable wall. The armor on their bodies made of Honkai beast corpses completely ignored the missiles and guided bomb attacks of fighter jets. They just moved forward mechanically, destroying this area. Everything on the ground was flattened. Even the Zagros Mountains, which was the end of the long plain, disappeared from the map along with the 100,000 troops, thirteen A-level Valkyries, and seventy-eight B-level Valkyries on the defense line.

Even the stacks of hills on the Yilan Plateau failed to stop the enemy's footsteps. However, it was only the "earth" that was flattened.

Because the humans on the earth had all died at the hands of the Honkai beasts long before the giants stepped on them.

Every once in a while, countless white tracks will appear in the desert in the northwest of China or the ravines in the southwest. After they spend a short time in the sky, they will fall into the sky like meteors. Among the beasts.

It's just that this kind of attack can only destroy some smaller Honkai Beasts. The ten-meter and twenty-meter lower Honkaimons were also completely destroyed by more than ten consecutive rounds of attacks, but the larger ones were beyond the range that even missiles could do nothing about.

And does the destruction of those smaller Honkaimons make sense? Judging from the images transmitted back by the fighter jets, on the land that had been ravaged by Honkai, Honkai beasts of various sizes grew rapidly like leeks, and quickly caught up with the large army.

Moreover, the Herrschers in the Tower of Babel seem to have mastered part of the power on the imaginary side. More than once, fighter jets have filmed the scene of space being torn apart and a hundred-meter-high Honkaimon catching up with the large army through the passage on the imaginary side. .

That's right, the Herrschers in the tower must have realized the uselessness of ordinary lower level Honkai beasts, and are constantly increasing the number of giant Honkai beasts in this way. Judging from the current observed results, those heading towards the east, The number of relatively short 100-meter-level Honkai beasts that were advancing as if being chased and driven by giants has exceeded a thousand. Compared with the original number, this number has increased dozens of times.

Although in front of the elite A-level Valkyrie, these huge Honkai Beasts may even be killed instantly, the total number of Valkyrie troops is only three thousand. Due to the existence of China, Asia is still the region with the least deployment of Valkyrie troops. Now, there are only five A-level Valkyries and more than forty B-level Valkyries who have gathered on this line of defense and accepted the leadership of Su Chang.

Fortunately, there are still a sufficient number of Taixu disciples and knights in China...

"General Wang."

Thinking of this, the girl suddenly shouted to the middle-aged man who was frowning and writing and drawing on a piece of paper. Speaking of which, the general the master met in Mobei also had the same surname. Come on, is it just such a coincidence? Or is history just repeating itself?

"Ah - it's Immortal Feiguang, you actually came to our... Uh, forget it, I won't say these polite words, but a new situation has arisen?"

Shaking her head to throw away those meaningless thoughts, Su Chang nodded again:

"I moved my sword around this world. The terrain here looks like many river valleys and some mountain ranges. Even those thousand-meter-tall giants would have a hard time walking across them. So I still persisted. When the railgun is too late to be in place, I should be allowed to take the lead with the Valkyries and Knights, and then the mecha troops will separate the battlefield. You can use a large number of armor-piercing bullets to provide fire support in the rear, and aim at those giants and hit them hard!

"Judging from the information being sent back now, the defense of those giants is inferior to that of the 100-meter-tall Honkai beasts. It's not impossible to smash their legs with your armor-piercing bullets. And we will use Honkai The corpses of beasts block the river valley, which can also buy more time. "

"I understand, I understand, Immortal Feiguang, if there is a choice, who wants to sacrifice his soldiers in vain? It's just... behind our soldiers is the South Asian subcontinent, which has been broken through, at least from my standpoint It is within the acceptable category, but if all the immortals like you are harmed here, what will China do?"

"..."

Su Shang took a deep breath, but couldn't say anything accusatory.

"But we can't just watch ordinary soldiers die in vain in front of us. Besides, if time and space don't allow it, I can handle those Honkai beasts and even giants by myself."

"I, an ordinary person like me, really don't understand the fighting of you immortals, but you have to admit it. In fact, you are not sure that you can stop those things?"

General Wang's smile was a little forced.

Su Shang also sighed. As expected, some things are still unacceptable but have to be accepted...

"Although it seems that this girl is very shameless, it would be great if the master and Xiaoshi can come back. One manpower is not enough, but if there are three people who have mastered the Taixu Sword God here, it will be enough to hold the line of defense. , one man is in charge..."

"Huh? Who do you call Xiaoshi? Can you call me Xiaoshi?"

The sudden sound made everyone in the military tent startled. The guard with the fastest reaction had already taken out his gun and was ready to shoot, but when he saw the two women in classical clothes, he was a little confused.

"Master! And... Ms.... Mr.... Ms. Shi?"

"Well, it seems we got back in time."

Ling Shuang walked up to the middle-aged general expressionlessly, stretched out her five fingers and shook them in front of his blank eyes.

"Introduce yourself, Cheng Lingshuang."

"It turned out to be the legendary Immortal Isla..."

"I also heard what my disciple said. I support this plan. What do you think?"

"Uh...I need to think about it."

General Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, and his whole body trembled slightly. It was the excitement brought about by seeing two characters from Chinese mythology one after another. Just Su Shang was okay, because she had appeared in major events in China many times. This was the first time he saw the Immortal Cheng Lingshuang.

but……

"Just a reminder, those things will arrive in less than ten minutes, so we can only give you three minutes. Well, we will wait outside for your decision. Of course, no matter what your decision is, Taixuzhi There is no need for anyone to obey your orders. After all, theoretically speaking, Su Chang is the commander-in-chief here. She only transferred the command to you because she was afraid that she would delay the decision-making due to some personal affairs. Do you understand what I am saying? "

After Ling Shuang said such a long series of words in the calmest tone, she took Su Shang's hand and led her away from the tent.

As for the Herrscher of Knowledge, she stayed in the tent, looking left and right, like a curious baby, but no one was aware of her existence.

"I really didn't expect you, Master, to be able to come back in time, but where is Senior Padu?"

"That's what I want to tell you."

After a certain distance away from the military tent, Ling Shuang stopped, turned around, and gently pinched his apprentice's face.

"You don't have to worry about things in the west. That man's ability will only be stronger than yours. Isn't it bad to talk about your apprentice in this way?"

"You also know it's not good..."

"And Pado's departure was also related to the situation there. In her words, we happened to be at the [right place] when we discovered the situation, so she wanted to try her luck again and see if we could find it. The entrance to a certain place, and then find the power that [can definitely help mankind overcome the current difficulties].

"Now, whether it is success or failure, there should be a result, right?"

…………

In the Aegean Sea, this ocean that connects the Black Sea and the White Sea and is divided into countless pieces by countless islands has completely become a world of ice and snow.

The silver knight shuttled through the cold air like a ghost, his figure stretched to the extreme due to the extreme speed, like a ray of white and silver moonlight.

"bass--"

The ice blue scythe in the knight's hand continues to bring death to the Honkai Beast in front of him, and suspended behind the knight, the mirage phantom named "Silver Moon" also uses an even bigger scythe to harvest everything that tries to get close to the knight's back. .

This strange duo dashed left and right among the Honkai beasts, cutting off the Minions of the Honkai beasts over and over again, until they faced the unreachable giant for an unknown number of times.

"Shua——"

The silver knight leaped high, her inhuman physical strength only allowing her to leap to the giant's knees.

That's enough.

Skadi of Sky Frost drew a beautiful circle, and one of the giant's legs was divided into two parts with the knee as the dividing line. Silver Moon cut off the giant's other leg almost at the same time, and the giant's body began to fall towards the sea, with the sickle He quickly turned around and cut off the giant's two thighs from their roots.

In this way, the two scythes cooperated with each other and divided the seemingly invincible giant into dozens of pieces as quickly as possible, but the flesh and blood quickly began to gather again.

Rita tore several giants into pieces in succession, but no matter how hard she tried, all she could damage was flesh and blood, but could not touch the silver thread hanging from the sky.

"hateful……"

A pale stream of light streaked across the battlefield, and Rita's feet quickly set foot on land.

"Arvette, let the Immortal Blade retreat first to gather and count the number of people."

Continuing the fight like this is not an option.

When the other girl gave the order, Rita's brain was spinning rapidly, calmly analyzing the situation on the field.

But no matter how you think about it, if you don't have the power to break the status quo, it is doomed to be in vain.

"Reporting to the deputy captain, there are actually 45 out of 48 team members, three are slightly injured, and one is seriously injured and unable to fight."

"Have we already lost four people..."

Rita's face became unusually solemn. It was not that the Immortal Blade had not suffered more serious battle damage, but it had only lasted less than an hour. According to Dr. Mei's estimate of blocking the Immortal Blade for up to 25 hours, the Immortal Blade would have been blocked for a maximum of 25 hours. I'm afraid the blades will all stay here...

After all, people will get tired, but those headless giants will not.

Rita's eyes scanned the whole place. Thanks to the efforts of the Valkyrie, the number of Honkai Beasts was less than one-third of the original number, but no matter what they did, they could not stop the progress of those giants.

Are those silver threads the problem?

She remembered that two of the three lost Valkyries were entangled in the silk thread, and then their bodies were crushed.

It is indeed something that can be touched, but when the scythe swept through those threads during the previous attack, it did not feel like it hit a real object.

Is it in a quantum superposition state and only has entities when attacking?

However, even if it has an entity, it is unknown whether the weapon can cause damage to it.

But no matter what, try it out.

"Everyone rest for five minutes and prepare for the next round of attack."

Rita's voice was as cold as the surrounding cold air, but the next moment, she was stopped by another equally cold voice:

"No need, those threads are the embodiment of the Herrscher's power. If you try to use human weapons to cut off the Herrscher's power, are you arrogant or stupid?"

Rita turned her head suddenly and saw a boy with weird horns on his head standing next to her at some point.

The Valkyries didn't react at first, but as the boy spoke out, everyone quickly and quietly surrounded him in a wary manner.

But another voice sounded from the other side of Rita:

"I'm sorry, that's what he said. He doesn't really think you are stupid or arrogant, it's just that he thinks it's cooler to talk like this."

The girl with a high golden ponytail smiled and waved her hand, but she revealed the boy's true face without mercy.

The corners of the young man's eyes twitched visibly. He wanted to say something but was ruthlessly interrupted:

"...Destobia, you——"

"Oh, by the way, let me add that we are not villains. In a sense, we should be reinforcements."

"Reinforcements?"

Rita had an unreliable guess in her mind.

"Well, we are indeed reinforcements."

The boy took a step forward.

"Leave it to us next. But there is something wrong with Destobia - in a sense, I am indeed more of a villain."

There was a faint blue light in the young man's eyes. He first crossed his hands on his chest, but after muttering to himself, he changed to a cooler posture.

He made a fist with his left hand, raised his elbow, and stretched his right palm straight toward the sky.

Then, the right arm moved from the front to the left, but after reaching a certain peak, it overlapped with the left arm——

"Xuguang, transform!"

The boy's body transformed into an inhuman monster in an instant, leaving only Rita's unreachable back.

"That look is like that time at the Salt Lake City base... No, no, the one that Mikael transformed into was more like a human, but the one that this boy transformed into was a real monster. And this posture... Why is it so similar to the one in the record? Wet slave?"

The "monster" began to devour.

It grabbed a puddle of flesh and blood from the ground and stuffed it into its mouth, swallowing it without chewing. The silver thread connecting the devoured flesh and blood also disappeared.

As if they were aware of its threat, all the giants suddenly changed their direction. They turned around slowly and heavily, and walked towards Kosma step by step.

"Hey! Ah Mo! It's obviously easier to swallow those threads directly!"

Destobia combined her hands into a trumpet and shouted.

Kosmo's movements stagnated, and he quickly swallowed up those silver threads.

The girl sighed softly and explained in a low voice to Rita on her side:

"Look, men are like this. They will always ignore some very simple things in order to be cool. However, I have to take action. Let Amo fight alone. I feel sorry for my [girlfriend] status!"

The girl smiled and snapped her fingers, and the dozen giants closest to Kosmo suddenly stopped moving, and then their whole bodies seemed to be torn into pieces by countless pairs of invisible hands.

"After all, I used to be the best at controlling telekinesis among the fusion warriors with mental perception. Neither Aponya nor Su are as good as me on the frontal battlefield."

…………

Under the Great Pyramid, the face of the A-level Valkyrie Lewis was as sharp and angular as steel whittled with a knife.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the North African front, no matter how determined she was, she could not change the crisis of the entire front.

It can be said that from the beginning, the direction of North Africa was an abandoned front. According to the headquarters' predictions, the defense line should have retreated to Tunisia by this time.

There is no support from S-class Valkyries, nor an elite A-class Valkyrie team like the Immortal Blade. The only reinforcements come from the anti-entropy mecha troops.

That is to say, because the population of North Africa is relatively small, the enemy's strength is much weaker than expected. In addition, both the anti-entropy mecha troops and the Valkyries of the Destiny Africa branch have fought hard with unprecedented unity, and they barely managed to close the battle line. Stay on the left bank of the Nile.

But this is already the limit.

The flesh and blood on the ground were slowly merging, but no one had time to enjoy this rare rest time. If possible, Lewis would rather never stop attacking.

Every time during such a break, each team would count their number of people. Every time they did this, everyone felt a little more desperate.

If the fighting never stopped, everyone would not realize the death of their comrades at all, and they might be able to hold on longer. But when they saw the empty sides of the formation, the despair in the hearts of the soldiers would only get deeper and deeper.

I can't hold on any longer.

Lewis knew this.

And judging from the current morale, there is no chance to reorganize the defense line. Even if they retreat to Tunisia, the defense line cannot be organized, and everyone may be defeated all the way to Iberia.

But maybe, everyone doesn't even have a chance to retreat.

What can be done?

"It seems that I can only die here today."

Lewis whispered discouraging words, but still tried hard to keep a straight face, not letting anyone see any frustration.

Just the next moment, a soft voice sounded behind her:

"There is no need to be so desperate, because hope is born from despair. So [please] don't give up, at least there is still us."

"Who are you--"

Lewis looked at the nun who suddenly appeared behind him, and wanted to say something questioning, but he was blinded by the holy light radiating from her body.

Turning around, I saw that the Valkyrie who were still decadent and desperate had stood up again. No matter how loud their hearts were, they at least had grasped their weapons again.

"You...what did you do? Even so, they are not strong enough to continue fighting..."

"It doesn't matter."

The nun smiled softly.

"There is a poor child who has been longing for this battle for a long time-"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The nun's words were interrupted by a series of arrogant laughter. Lewis followed the laughter and looked to the sky. What he saw was a tiny flame falling from the sky, but it was getting bigger and burning.

"boom!"

The flames hit the ground, burning everything equally.

She saw a man whose whole body was on fire, carrying a pillar made of lava, frantically killing and killing everything that was not human.

"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Fierce fighting, fierce fighting, fierce destruction... You guys who can't die are worth killing me! Hahahahaha!"

What he saw before him was undoubtedly a one-sided massacre. That man easily accomplished what hundreds of Valkyries and almost all anti-entropy mecha and aviation troops could not do.

He slaughtered those giants cruelly. He would tear the giants into pieces in various ways and burn them dry, but then he would patiently reassemble the minced meat, and then repeat the above process...

The disgusting smell of burning flesh and blood could be smelled from a long distance away. Lewis's face was not very good, but he seemed to be thankful that at least the man seemed to be on the side of mankind.

She turned to look at the nun who seemed to be the man's companion, and asked worriedly:

"Um...is he really okay like this?"

"Of course it's okay. He is a warm and gentle child, but... he has been holding it in for a long time."

"?"

Aponya did not answer the question of a person from a different era than herself. She suddenly looked at the top of the pyramid that no one noticed and murmured to herself:

"However, if you hadn't opened his door and begged again and again, Qianjie wouldn't have been willing to come out. After all, his mind was so simple that he was still worried about the ending, and he even felt uncomfortable with the existence of [human beings]. Physiological discomfort..."

"Hey, there's nothing we can do. Thousands of years ago, we followed Sister Snake and played tricks on this land. Somehow, we were regarded as gods by the humans here. They always gave us a lot of good things. We took them away. We have to do something about it, we are very conscientious! Besides, Brother Jie is willing to come out, I’m afraid it’s Sister Yayi’s credit that’s bigger!”

The girl's jumping voice sounded in Aponya's mind, but she sensitively noticed that the child's voice, which had always been heartless, was filled with sadness that could not be resolved. (End of chapter)
