"I don't mean to question you." Ryan took out a compressed biscuit and took a bite. Hearing the slurping sound of the other side, he always felt a little sad. "I want to ask you about the characteristics of the Herrscher, and how to defeat him with the weak."
Alicia's eyes rolled, and she immediately understood what Ryan meant. She would not refuse a friend's request, so she stuffed noodles into her mouth while answering:
"The Herrscher is the Apostle of Honkai. You can think of her as the embodiment of a certain law, just like the second Herrscher I defeated. She can skillfully manipulate the imaginary space to dodge, counterattack, and move, so she is also called the Herrscher of the Void."
Ryan nodded silently. The order of appearance was based on the order in which the Herrscher X represented its characteristics, or power. Just like the first Herrscher, also called the Herrscher of Reason, whose ability was to use Honkai energy to create things whose structures he knew, a bit like an alchemist.
Honkai energy is the basis of everything, equivalent to magic value, which determines the upper limit of skill power and endurance. There are various abilities above this thing, just like Adido can condense it into light blades.
Above ability is power, which is to express destruction in a specific way and change a certain real number pattern. Simply put, it is a law.
"Even if the Houkai energy is of the same magnitude, the power can be easily increased several times by applying the laws. That's why the Herrscher is so powerful."
"&%#%+*."
"Let's talk after eating!"
Alicia chewed quickly and replied with a smile: "Not only that, every time the Herrscher appears, it will be accompanied by a super-large Honkai disaster and will have a companion Honkai beast, just like the boss in the game will also bring elite soldiers and minions."
"Your explanation is concise and to the point. I've read the data on the subjugation of the First Herrscher. The Fire-Chasing Moth used a large number of casualties to consume its Honkai energy, and then launched a fatal attack when the mana bar was empty."
"It was a tactic, but the casualties were heavy. Do you know why they were able to kill the First Herrscher?"
"Isn't that what I'm asking you?"
"Alright, alright, don't be so impatient. Actually, Herrscher also has weaknesses. As an apostle, he is strong in energy and power, but weak in his body." Alicia finished her noodles and resisted the urge to drink the soup. "Even if Honkai energy can strengthen the body, it does not mean it is invulnerable. As long as the body is destroyed and the Herrscher core is knocked out, he will die."
That's right, the material of the Herrscher is human, just like me. The Honkai energy can strengthen the body, but it can't make the body withstand a nuclear bomb or something like that.
Ryan touched his chin and found some blind spots. The Herrscher is not a god's body, and cannot transform into a sword. As long as the Honkai energy defense is broken, the main body can be harmed.
It sounds simple, but the difficulty lies in how to resist the power and break the Honkai energy defense.
"You...want to defeat the Third Herrscher?"
Alicia's voice sounded again, somewhat hesitant and persuading.
"I know there is still a big gap between me and the Herrscher, but now I have a chance and I can give it a try." Ryan thought to himself that he still had an advantage, that is, he knew who the third Herrscher was and what kind of power he possessed.
With intelligence, you can prepare in advance and act with caution. You must know that even Mei can only wait for the Herrscher to appear and then use heavy casualties to exchange for intelligence, because there are too many laws in the world, and theoretically each one can become power.
"You will inevitably die if you try."
"Don't say such harsh words. By the way, was it difficult for you to deal with the Second Herrscher?"
"It was very hard. I almost died in her hands. That's why I want to persuade you."
The tone was relaxed, but it didn't sound like a lie, but Ryan asked this question deliberately, just to confirm one thing:
Alicia is also growing up, no, should I say taking back her own authority? So now she doesn't know that she is the Herrscher of Origin.
As for when she reached her peak, Ryan couldn't remember clearly, he only knew that she fell instantly after reaching the peak.
"Why aren't you talking?" The sound of slurping noodles came from the other end of the receiver again, accompanied by a joyful and cheerful tone: "But I'm still happy that you are willing to fight. Finally, you have a partner to save the world together!"
"I'm not as noble as you. Let's save the people around us first."
"Don't be discouraged. There is a good saying in Shenzhou: if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. Those who can do this can be considered heroes~~~"
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world?
Ryan repeated it several times. Although Alicia's tone was light, the truth in it was very real.
"Been taught a lesson."
"I was just saying it casually. Hey, you take it so seriously, why don't you call the teacher to listen?"
You are just taking advantage of me.
Ryan's eyes twitched. He didn't know why, but his blood pressure would always fluctuate when he talked to Alicia. He now understood how Mebius felt.
"It's just a joke, don't be angry. I've finished my work here, do you have anything else to ask?"
"Are you surrounded by a lot of followers?" Ryan said meaningfully.
"Oh, I don't care. They can watch whatever they want. I'm never one to hide anything. But thank you for your concern."
This mentality made Ryan give a thumbs up. The talented senior executives of Fire Moth have never been at ease with Alicia, and they have never stopped testing, studying, and tracking her.
But this is normal, they don't know the details like Ryan does, after all, Alicia fell from the sky.
The owner didn't care, so he didn't bother to think about it, and his tone became teasing: "Is it really done? Why do I hear the sound of drinking soup?"
"It's all an illusion. Let's stop here. I look forward to fighting alongside you."
Before Ryan could react, Alicia had already hung up the phone, patted her chest lightly as if she felt relieved, and looked around furtively.
If he spreads this everywhere, Mebius will call me a fat woman again, even though...
She pinched her stomach with her hand and felt completely relieved. She had only gained a little weight.
"Boss, give me another 300g of pork intestine noodles, and add more green onions."
"okay!"
Thousands of miles away, Ryan also put down the phone. As expected, Ailisa is very special. No matter how dangerous the situation is, she can always find the feeling of happiness. How to say it?
Have fun saving the world.
He looked at the bomb crater in front of him and the hundreds of soldiers. The corpses of the Honkai beasts were being put into special containers and dragged away, and the recovery troops wearing special protective clothing were spraying special medicines.
The remaining Honkai energy will soon dissolve, and everything will be left except for the ruins, as if nothing had happened.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world...
Clearly, I just wanted to survive and deliberately rejected everything around me. Even when I approached Kevin and the others, my motives were not pure.
Ryan laughed at himself. When interacting with people, there will always be mutual influence. Just like walking on the road, people will be changed by the surrounding scenery, especially the scorching beauty like Alicia.
"Forget it, I'll just do as much as I can. At least it doesn't conflict with my original purpose."
Adiedo's life is of extraordinary significance. Firstly, it gave the top leaders of the Fire Moth more illusions. They must be holding an emergency meeting at this moment.
Secondly, his reputation will spread. Before that, only Alicia can defeat the emperor-level Honkai beast alone.
Finally, he moves further into the future.
"I'm messing up the trajectory of fate more and more. Fortunately, the timing is good. After the third Herrscher arrives, fighting against Honkai will be the main conflict."
He changed into a new combat uniform, walked slowly to the front, and saw Kevin holding a bucket of instant noodles.
"Eat quickly, and then we'll be on our way."
The plastic fork stopped in mid-air, and Kevin blinked: "On the road? Where to?"
Ryan didn't waste any words. He squatted in front of him, grabbed the fork, and took a sip.
"Of course, we have to clean up all the damage done to Neon!"
Chapter 38: Are You in Love with Him?
Dr. Lane, when will you be back?
In the Far East Branch, this sentence has become a piece of gossip circulating in the research department, because Dr. Mobius asks it several times a day. After being asked so many times, everyone seems to have discovered another side of this doctor.
Although she is usually cold and indifferent to everyone, she also misses her boyfriend like a normal person, which inadvertently makes her more human. There are even rumors that she sometimes goes to the track and stares blankly.
"I never thought that Dr. Ryan is so capable that he could make Dr. Mobius think about him day and night."
"Yeah, I heard that she had a fight with Dr. Mei. Could it be that they were fighting over a man?"
"He must have some unique skills. If anyone among you is familiar with him, go find out."
"Come on, Dr. Ryan looks quite gentle, but he actually doesn't want to make friends. He is the same type of person as Dr. Mebius."
"How about sending him some medicine to open up the door as Senye said?"
"Hahaha."
A group of people burst into laughter. It was quite interesting to discuss gossip after work, until a sinister voice sounded in their ears.
"What are you guys discussing so happily? Tell me."
The laughter stopped abruptly, and several people turned their heads stiffly, and saw Mebius standing behind them, squinting his eyes and looking kind.
"I, I suddenly remembered that the data has not been recorded yet."
"Yes, I still have to do the project that Dr. Mei gave me."
No one dared to answer, and several people fled in all directions, leaving only Mebius standing in the corner. After a long time, he stared at their backs with cold eyes.
It was so dangerous that several people started to jog and disappeared into the corner in the blink of an eye.
Humph, if it were in the Fifth Research Institute, you guys would be in trouble.
Mebius snorted contemptuously. She didn't care about these rumors. She just thought about the content and clenched her teeth again.
That guy hasn't come back yet. Is he deliberately avoiding me?
With the sound of high heels clicking, she returned to her laboratory and looked at the computer. Her assistant was sleeping soundly on the table.
If that guy were here, he could work for ten days and ten nights, and his efficiency would be many times that of an ordinary person, and he wouldn't even have to be paid.
Mobius came up with an idea that was enough to get on the streetlight, so he walked over and patted his assistant on the shoulder.
Blanca woke up suddenly and rubbed her eyes: "Doctor, you are back. I will finish analyzing Adiedo's data soon."
"Don't worry. By the way, has Edwin replied?" Mebius picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.
"Branch Chief Edwin couldn't contact Dr. Ryan, but he also gave us information that Dr. Ryan is clearing out the northeast of Neon, and the latest corpse of the three-headed Honkai Emperor will be delivered tomorrow."
This should have been a good thing, but Blanca saw impatience on Mebius's face and slammed the coffee cup on the table.
thump.
"That idiot, that barbarian, has no idea of priorities. Isn't it better for him to stay by my side and study than to roll around in the mud?"
"But these materials were sent back by Dr. Ryan." Blanca said weakly to be fair.
"Okay, I'll cross out the idiot, but he's still a savage." Mebius bit his lip lightly.
"In fact, Dr. Mei is more helpful to the research..."
"But she and I don't get along. Sooner or later, Mei will become a nuisance, and—" Mebius slapped the table lightly, causing a lot of coffee to spill. "He tore the training room to pieces. Why should he include the repair costs in my research funds? I finally managed to get away from instant noodles, but he was dragged back."
Blanca looked at the resentful Mebius without saying anything, with a faint smile in her eyes.
