"What a fast knife."
Ryan couldn't help but applaud softly. Sakura's knife was not only fast, but also extremely calm. Every kill paved the way for the next one, just like a piece of art.
As expected, he is one of the strongest warriors among the heroes. Even before he becomes a fusion warrior, his strength is already considerable. At least he uses the soul steel weapon with ease.
There are tens of thousands of fusion warriors, and the one who survives to the end must have extraordinary qualities.
Dozens of monsters were killed, and their blood soaked the beach. Ryan, who had not taken any action at all, heard the noise in the woods and walked over.
"The second wave is coming soon. Can we still fight?"
Sakura adjusted her breathing and brushed her fingers lightly over the blade, feeling the texture brought by the increased power.
Just the sword made her much stronger. With the physical strength of the Honkai Emperor, alloy weapons would have broken, so how could he be cut like tofu by herself?
"of course can."
"Then I'll come and help. Don't worry, I have a way to maintain my stamina."
Ryan did not choose to slack off. He gently pulled out his simple long sword, turned his wrist, and slashed it towards the ground.
Swah——
The moist soil was directly broken, and a mutated Honkai Emperor was picked up into the air. This thing was less than two meters in size and was lurking underground like an assassin.
I didn't even notice?
Ying's breathing stagnated, and she saw Ryan beside her disappear. She only heard a faint whistling sound in the air. She turned her head and saw that the Honkai Emperor had been split into five even pieces in the air.
It's not a question of speed anymore, but that my eyes can't catch the trajectory at all. The Honkai Beast seems to be disintegrating on its own.
Ding.
The long sword was sheathed, and Ryan had stood in front of her without her knowing, holding the red hilt.
"Let's go to the abandoned town first. The monsters on this island should have been cleared out."
"Do you want to wait for it to gather manpower?" Ying blurted out.
"If there are more attacks, it proves that Shesha must be here, so--"
Ryan held the sword and silently went into the woods.
"It can't run away!"
Chapter 107: Thunder breaks the sky!
The tides were hitting the shore, the moon was dim and the stars were sparse. At this edge of the equator, there was not the slightest chill of late autumn. In addition, the concentration of the Honkai was too high, and all insects, birds and animals had died. Everything was quiet.
If it weren't for the few human bones blown up by the waves, this vine-covered ruin would have a feeling of a paradise.
On the roof, a bonfire was lit. Sakura was half-kneeling on the ground, making tea, while Ryan stood on a high place, looking around the island.
Whether Honkai Beast has intelligence and can use tactics has always been an important topic for Fire Moth.
At least until now, relevant data is still very scarce, but Ryan didn't take it to heart. He knew that there was no trace of collapse at all, but one thing was certain about the previous civilization:
He will use every possible means to destroy human civilization.
"Now the unknown is getting worse. Not to mention my experience, even my foresight has lost its effect."
In fact, it will still be useful in the future. At least Ryan understands that the Herrscher is not a group of brainless world-destroying monsters, just like the Herrscher of Domination, whose strength and destructive power are completely disproportionate. He also knows how to assassinate Mei, just like he can tell who poses the greatest threat.
Human resistance will continuously provide feedback, and then Honkai will adjust it. He has intelligence and strategies, and the Herrscher will even beg for mercy. It just depends on when to use it.
"The starting point is the only thing that never changes. Even if Herrscher and Honkaimon have emotions and personalities, they cannot defect to the human side, so they cannot be called personalities and emotions."
Ryan took a deep breath. This thing was too scary. As long as the starting point didn't change, having emotions and personality would make Honkai more difficult to deal with.
They can think, be afraid, be curious, learn and adjust their tactics, and never act in a half-hearted manner. They are much better than a group of beasts whose minds are only focused on destruction.
"Ryan, what are you thinking about?" Sakura handed over a few rice balls. The rice balls were warm, obviously scalded with boiling water.
"I'm thinking about the evolution of Honkai. This thing is not a simple monster. All it needs is feedback and opportunity." Ryan held the teacup in his hand and did not say obscure words like imaginary numbers.
Ying doesn't understand research, so she only analyzes from a tactical perspective: "This is originally a war. The Fire Moths are constantly developing weapons, and the enemy will certainly fight back. It all depends on who can get ahead."
If it were that simple, I wouldn't have to think about life.
Ryan had long realized one thing: the original ending of total annihilation could only be achieved without him, let alone a destiny that did not exist in this world and the need to seize the authority of the Herrscher with his own hands.
Even if he lets someone who is doomed to die survive, the feedback from Honkai will change, it's just a matter of whether the reaction is big or small.
But what Sakura said was not wrong. In a war, it is impossible for only the human side to be strengthened. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the war ended in collapse?
"No matter what, once you take a step forward, there is no turning back. I can only verify it myself to see how many of my dozen or so hypotheses can become reality."
A dozen hypotheses?
Ying raised her eyebrows, thinking that Ryan was indeed very shrewd and had thought about so many things in secret.
"You smart people are trouble. Just curious, what is your worst assumption?"
From her perspective, there was the sea in front of her and a dark jungle behind her. The moist sea breeze carried the smell of blood.
All the Honkai beasts on this island have been killed by the two of them. Just like before, they are like a group of brainless monsters that will jump out and die when they see humans.
"Worst?" Ryan repeated the word with a wry smile on his face, but he couldn't explain it to Sakura.
The worst result is the destruction of the previous civilization. The adjustments made by Honkai are not the limit at all; it is simply because this human civilization is only worthy of allowing Him to do those things, release the thirteen Herrschers, and declare the end of the game.
As for the post-civilization era, it is completely useless as a reference because Alicia and Mei have already laid the foundation for them, making Honkai look like a winery.
"The worst result is that there is no upper limit to the collapse. Within this range, all struggles are in vain, unless——"
Ryan took a sudden step forward, drew out his straight sword, and slashed down at Sakura's shoulder.
Wow!
The two bolts of lightning collided and exploded, turning the house and the bonfire into debris. The girl turned her head in astonishment and saw the remaining arc of electricity in the darkness. The starting point was another small island across the sea.
"Someone can transcend the constraints of the world!"
Sakura didn't hear the second half of the sentence at all, because the air wave had already blown her away. She finally adjusted her posture in the air and held on to the tough vine.
The electric arc was still there, and a white line was cutting through the sea surface and heading into the distance. This 'surprise' made her breath stop.
Shesha was here, and he seized the opportunity to launch a shameless sneak attack. If Ryan hadn't been vigilant the whole time, the two would have been killed or seriously injured.
In other words, his guess was completely correct. The Judgment-level Honkai Beast had been here from the beginning, lying dormant, waiting for a fatal blow, just like...
"It's hunting!"
A strong wind was blowing towards him, but Ryan was not excited at all when he found Shesha's trace. Instead, his heart beat faster as if he was getting closer to the truth.
Why is it hunting? Did it know that the Fire Moths wanted to use them to create fusion warriors, or was it simply targeting me? But how did it know it was me?
The unknown lingered in his mind and the battle was no longer pure, but Ryan was not afraid at all.
Touch it, explore it, kill it!
Making bold assumptions and carefully verifying them, Ryan simply longed for answers, climbing up suddenly like pulling onions out of dry land.
Swah——
Another bolt of thunder passed along the sea surface, clearing away the reefs and shipwrecks. Following the flash of lightning, Ryan finally saw the true face of the enemy.
It was a giant, winding snake that was more than ten meters long. It had a flat head and four giant hands. Its body was covered with green lines, and sticky black mud was oozing out from where it touched the ground. A very violent aura was coming towards it.
"In terms of the amount of Honkai energy, it's not weaker than mine, and this feeling..." Ryan's eyes twitched, and he blurted out: "It feels like he's been waiting for me for a long time?"
They neither fled nor confronted the Fire Moth head-on, but simply lurked here, waiting to be conquered. Before the fusion of the warriors succeeded, there were only two people who could conquer it alone.
interesting.
Ryan, who was climbing rapidly, suddenly stopped in the air, and then fell down like an electrified comet. Looking at the thunder flying like a spear, Ryan gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and swung it down.
Purple lightning dragon roars!
Chi Xiao carried all the energy and transformed it into a roaring thunder dragon, swallowing the spear in one gulp, causing the "comet" to fall.
Boom! !
Ying, who had just climbed onto the roof, covered her face and saw the island in the distance was as bright as day. The spreading arcs of electricity tore through the sea and annihilated the trees. Even though Shesha condensed two flashing lightning swords, his body was still pinned to the ground.
Is this his full strength?
Ying didn't think too much, she just rushed over there with the knife in hand. The quiet island seemed to come alive, and there were countless Honkai beasts roaring.
She didn't dare to join the battlefield, but she knew that her mission was to stop these miscellaneous soldiers and prevent them from consuming Ryan's energy.
The electric current was entangled, just like the mournful cry of a thousand birds. Ryan looked at Shesha under him and basically had an idea:
He is of the same level of strength as me, but he is no match for me.
Even though the strength of the Honkai energy is similar, Ryan's authority is one level stronger than Shesha's. After a few seconds, the Thunder Blade was directly cut through by the Straight Sword, and the giant snake began to spin rapidly.
A sword mark was melted on the hard shell, and as soon as Ryan landed on the ground, the huge tail was already in front of him.
boom!
The air was compressed and then expanded, and Ryan slid out, knocking down trees and boulders on the road. His sword pierced into the ground and stopped right at the seashore.
"Well, your physical strength is indeed better than mine."
His figure flashed and he suddenly appeared ten meters away. He saw the thunder sword merged and slashed at the place where he had just stood, splitting the sea surface and evaporating a puff of white smoke.
It is very resistant to blows and has great power output.
Ryan squatted down, saw the huge knife coming close to the sea surface, and sprinted forward in advance.
Using the technique of magnetic levitation, it only takes a blink of an eye to go from a standstill to a rapid speed. The huge body of the Honkai Beast cannot compete with his agility. If he gets close, that will be Ryan's home court.
Shesha obviously understood this principle. He immediately raised his remaining two hands, held the ball of lightning in his palms, and pressed it under his feet without saying a word.
boom--
Arcs of electricity wrapped in dust surged over, Ryan narrowed his eyes and raised his straight sword.
Thunder at dawn.
The strong electric light was like the first ray of sunlight at dawn. The sprint stopped for a moment, and the energy was offset in the collision, causing the net formed by lightning to bulge high.
Soon, the concentrated energy broke a big hole in the roaring thunder waves and dust, and fell heavily in the center of the island, creating a big pit.
"Faster and sneakier than I thought."
