"Are you afraid that I'll be angry?"
"Well, a little." Hua was really a little scared. After all, Ryan asked her to run out to protect herself, so how could she take the risk?
But at this moment, loud laughter came from Shasha's receiver.
"Hua, you are really cute sometimes. Don't care too much about what I think. You are not my vassal, so -" Ryan stood in the rainstorm and shouted: "Stand up and do it. Follow through." Create your own ideas and develop your own future!”
"Yes." The girl stood up straight, as if a switch had been turned on. Before hanging up the phone, she replied softly, "Thank you, Ryan."
After saying this, she didn't wait for an answer, but stepped over the guardrail, clenched her fists, and looked at the assassins in the crowd.
There was a busy tone on the receiver. Ryan, standing in silence, was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
This guy actually called me by my name, but that’s fine.
He vaguely remembered that Hua was just one of the survivors. He was found shivering by the fire moth and lost his friends, classmates and all his daily life. But this time it was different.
The girl became a guardian and stood up bravely. Although there was a chance that she would die at the hands of a Honkai beast, Ryan was not worried.
Fate is unpredictable, and his arrival shattered the original track. Be it Kevin or Hua, their destinies are heading towards the unknown. No one can see the end, and no one can bring it back to its original track.
Then there is no use in escaping, and Ryan cannot shield them from all the wind and rain.
Then move forward, implement your own ideas, and explore the unknown destiny.
"It's just me who has to be at the front of this road." Ryan looked up at the sky. He didn't know when the rainstorm had stopped. Around him, there was silence except for the sound of water drops, so quiet that it made people uneasy.
Not only did the clouds not disperse, but they became even thicker, giving a feeling of dark clouds covering the whole city. It was clearly afternoon but it felt like late night, or even darker than night.
Silence hid terror. On top of the ruins, Ryan thought of nothing and just looked up at the sky quietly.
Boom——
Without any warning, a loud bang broke the deathly silence, like the sound of a war drum, echoing in the hearts of tens of millions of people in the vast ocean. Then, the purest fear surged from the depths of their hearts.
Ryan was one of them, but he did not scream or faint like ordinary people. He just tensed every muscle in his body, raised his head and looked up at the sky.
A streak of purple lightning streaked across the night, lingering in the air for a long time without dissipating. In an instant, hundreds of thousands of people died on the spot or became dead soldiers. The Honkai energy detectors placed by the Fire Moths throughout the city issued a sharp alarm, and the Raven was in chaos.
Even Ryan's own muscles trembled slightly because of this great power, and he instinctively had thoughts of escaping, stopping, and hiding, but a moment later, they were replaced by another stronger emotion.
That was the desire to reverse the world line, even if it was futile, these people would die at the hands of the Fourth Herrscher tomorrow. At least at this moment, Ryan wanted to reverse the trajectory of fate, and there was only one thought left in his mind:
The thunder finally arrives!
Chapter 53: The Third Ruler, the Ruler of Thunder! Two in One!
Even after countless years of fighting against Honkai and the experience of two Herrschers, the Fire Moth and most scientists can still say:
I know nothing about collapse.
This wave of civilization destruction appeared so suddenly, descending on Changkong City with infinite malice. Even though many people had been mentally prepared, when it suddenly appeared, everyone's mind was still blank and their hearts were filled with fear.
There is no way, this is the instinct of human beings when facing the apostles of God.
"The third Herrscher appears, coordinates..."
"Energy detection, 1000, 1500, 2000... The maximum collapse intensity in the center is 3000HW!"
"Level 1 combat alert, highest level evacuation order issued, 200-kilometer combat zone demarcated."
"Notify the Northern Shenzhou and Far East branches and ask them to send all possible reinforcements!"
The interior of Raven was in chaos. The Herrscher appeared too quickly. Even if they followed the established plan, they were still a little overwhelmed.
The prediction became a reality, but the situation was not too good. The troops were scattered throughout East Asia and it would take time to gather them. The closest one was the fleet of the Southern Shenzhou branch. For a branch to fight against a Herrscher was no different from sending people to die.
In other words, during this window period, the Herrscher could move freely and destroy Canghai several times, while everyone from officers to staff had forgotten Ryan's existence.
In their opinion, no one would be stupid enough to alarm the Herrscher, or Ryan had done his best to block Moshazhi, and the evacuation alarm issued in advance saved at least several million lives.
As a hero, he has done well enough.
The real "typhoon" appeared on the big screen. The vortex cloud was dark red, and the center was even redder and purple.
The power is still unknown, but the strength of this Houkai energy alone is much greater than that of the Second Herrscher, which also proves the conjecture of scholars:
The second Herrscher is not the end, every Herrscher will become more powerful.
Calis' pupils contracted, fear and excitement surged out together, just like a top student who was full of challenge when facing a difficult question given by the teacher.
The man suppressed his strong emotions and said as calmly as possible: "Hand over the combat command to the Southern Shenzhou branch, and Raven will begin intelligence gathering."
"Understood. Release the drone and capture the optical signal."
The Fire Moths had long since formed a scientific processing procedure, with battles divided into different groups, and their mission was to collect intelligence.
After the bloody lesson, the Fire Moth knew that Honkai energy was only the foundation. The most powerful thing about the Herrscher was the power to subvert the laws of physics. Just like when it was attacking the second Herrscher, it launched several tactical nuclear bombs at him, but was teleported into the cluster of machines, causing heavy losses on the spot.
If a certain pink girl had not appeared in that battle, humanity would have been completely defeated.
Secondly, we need to find out who is the carrier of the Herrscher, because the Herrschers are all sublimated from humans. The Research Department has never given up the psychological warfare, hoping to influence a Herrscher to join the human camp.
Amid the strong electronic interference, a figure flashed on the screen, and then the elites selected from intelligence departments of various countries immediately widened their eyes.
It was a young woman with a straight nose, thin lips, pale skin, and wearing a thin dress. She was standing barefoot in the middle of a big pit. Her long silver hair was dancing back and forth, making her look charming and pitiful.
But no one dared to underestimate her because of her appearance. The computer scanned her face, and then countless faces flashed quickly, and finally stopped at a beautiful face that seemed a little cold, and the file flashed quickly.
"The information is confirmed. Her name is Chen. She lives at 232 Huaixi Road, Canghai City. She is a caregiver at an orphanage. She has no criminal record. This is her relationship map and medical records."
Using the power of the state to monitor a person can be said to dig out all the secrets, even recording when the person was hospitalized for a cold, but the result has puzzled a group of intelligence officers.
The carrier of the Herrscher is still so inexplicable. Just like the previous two times, those chosen are neither extremely evil criminals nor experienced warriors, and they don't even have the slightest connection with Honkai. At least the third carrier of the Herrscher looks quite kind.
Helpful and kind-hearted, she should have lived an ordinary life. How could she become an apostle of the destruction of humanity?
"Has it been because you've seen too many abandoned children that you're filled with hatred for the world?"
"It's possible. I suggest contacting her friends and relatives immediately and airlifting her to the Herrscher to see if she can be reformed."
"A similar psychological warfare failed when we used the Second Herrscher. These people are likely to die."
"You can try it, this level of sacrifice is necessary."
Discussions arose everywhere, and the Fire Moth still did not give up its efforts to influence the Herrscher. As long as this magical life form changed its stance, it would be very valuable both as a combat force and as a research subject.
But this scene was seen by Calis, who somehow found it a little funny.
This is like a group of ants discussing how to capture an elephant. It is so ignorant and stupid.
He looked at the large screen on the left. Around the vortex of Honkai energy, dense symbols of friendly forces were rushing in from all over. There were more than five aircraft carrier icons alone, and fighter planes were being ejected one by one.
In the west, a special sign is also eye-catching, and now we have arrived in Jiangzhou.
"Alicia is almost here. Did she leave early?" He was not surprised. This did not violate the organization's regulations. The only difference was that the command authority seemed a little inconsistent.
The army will be commanded by the Nan Shenzhou branch, and as for those two people... let them be.
"Head of the Joint System." Calis turned his head slightly and said to the secretary behind him, "I think it is impossible to evacuate the entire Canghai City. I apply for fighting in the city and ask him to persuade the Shenzhou government. In addition, if psychological persuasion, conventional weapons, Ryan and Alicia are all unable to stop it-"
"I request to use fusion bombs for saturation strikes!"
......
The war has finally begun.
Ryan raised his head and looked at the dense contrails in the sky. They were the traces left by missiles and fighter planes, and they looked extremely spectacular.
The goal of the top leaders has been achieved. Even if the Third Herrscher does nothing, the saturation bombing alone will reduce several city blocks to ruins, and the losses will reach astronomical figures.
Rumbling--
It was like countless muffled thunders exploding. Even though he was more than ten kilometers away, Ryan could still see a series of fireballs. However, a curtain of electric arcs appeared, like a huge protective shield that isolated these attacks.
It was useless. Thousands of tons of TNT didn't even hurt the skin. The power of each individual was beyond human imagination. Then Ryan saw hundreds of white shadows leaping into the sky, and the heat instantly extended to the dark sky.
The clouds were torn apart by countless contrails, and air-to-air missiles left dense tail flames. From time to time, a fireball exploded, and burning debris fell to the earth.
What Ryan saw was not a one-on-one duel in the ring, but a war. The accompanying Honkai beasts were flying through the air, and there was even a faint sense of tactics.
The crossbow-class Honkai beast threw the Assault-class beast into the sky. Although Ryan killed these "mosquitoes" like chopping melons and vegetables, these monsters as big as millstones were very flexible. No matter what kind of canard or vector engine, they were extremely bulky in front of them.
It dodged air-to-air missiles with a turn of more than 20G, crashed through the fighter plane in front of it, then suddenly slowed down and fought back to bite the pursuing fighter plane. As the pilot looked as if he had seen a ghost, it smashed the cockpit directly and was finally blown to pieces by a missile.
It died silently, and then two fighter jets worth hundreds of millions of euros turned into burning scrap metal, falling from the sky like meteor fragments.
Just like a meteor shower, fragments of Honkai beasts and wreckage of fighter planes streaked across the sky and were reflected in Ryan's eyes, which actually made him feel a bit of beauty.
"So this is how the Fire Moths dealt with the Herrschers before they had fusion warriors." Ryan witnessed the war with his own eyes, and to be honest, it was filled with sadness and helplessness.
In essence, it is to fill the gap with human lives, consume the Herrscher's companion beasts, and then use more human lives to test the Herrscher's power. Every step results in a river of blood.
But there is no way around it. The Herrscher will not stand there and be a target, and authority is more important than Honkai energy. If you use nuclear bombs for everything, what if they throw it back at you like the second Herrscher did?
Ryan withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at these fearless sacrifices. He opened the box, revealing the silver armor inside.
"Fortunately, I guessed right."
........
Boom boom boom...
The sky was boiling, fighter planes were fighting with Honkai beasts, and missiles and machine guns were intertwined in the air.
Humans used tactics to lure and intercept, while Honkai beasts relied entirely on instinct to turn humans into fireballs without hesitation. The exchange ratio between the two sides was about one to two. It seemed that the Fire Moth had the upper hand, but in fact it was at a loss.
There are as many lower-level Honkai beasts as you want, but it takes thousands of man-hours to build a fighter jet, not to mention the huge investment required to train a pilot.
Were fifty or a hundred shot down?
Ryan was standing on an office building at the edge of the city, and he could no longer count. He only saw a hymn to human courage. Many people did not parachute, but controlled the flaming fighter planes to crash into the purple light curtain, and then were turned into fireballs by the arc at the moment of contact.
Just like a moth flying into a flame, it turns into ashes the moment it touches the flame.
"Strong electromagnetic pulses can decompose objects at the atomic level by eliminating the electromagnetic interaction between microscopic particles."
Ryan's eyes twitched. This was a scientific explanation. Of course, for the Herrscher, it was an instinct. The so-called Herrscher of Thunder did not release lightning, but essentially controlled electromagnetic force.
This is one of the four basic forces, at least it is very terrifying in the eyes of Ryan, a scientist. He took out the information terminal, which is the command system equipped by the captain of the Fire Moth Squad, and found the carrier data of the Third Herrscher in the information column.
"Luckily, he's just a caretaker at an orphanage. If he were a master in electromagnetic research, it would be a headache."
The same power and the same output will have different effects in different people's hands. Chen is completely controlling this power by instinct. He knows the results but not the reasons. If he were replaced by a PhD in electromagnetism, it would be troublesome.
But even if it's just instinct, it's terrifying enough.
