Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Storm is Coming!
Woo——
The commercial vehicle was speeding along the road, its wheels stirring up water waves as it sped along the road at a speed of over a hundred yards.
Ryan decisively changed his plan and once again experienced the uncontrollability of the Honkai.
Just now, he felt the coming of Honkai. Although he had no instruments to measure it accurately, he knew that it was in the east, where he had repelled Marichi a few days ago.
The prelude is coming. This Emperor level Honkai beast was seriously injured and should not come out so soon, but they are not human after all and have no instinct for survival.
When the "call" from the superior comes, they will respond without hesitation, without any reason.
"The city has been hit by a severe storm. Experts recommend that all citizens leave the city for shelter. If conditions permit, please stay at home, lock the door, and do not go out at will."
An evacuation warning came from the radio, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight rustling sound.
The energy of Honkai is gradually increasing, and the scope of its impact is so large. There is no mistake that the Third Herrscher is descending into the sea.
Ryan frowned and thought quickly as he ran towards the beach.
Marichi is already at the pinnacle of the Emperor class. Now he is acting abnormally. Can we assume that:
The Herrscher is about to arrive. Will it respond to the call and cross that limit to become a companion Judgment level Honkai beast?
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain Marichi strange behavior. The Honkai Beast did not know how to cherish its life, and would not be afraid of the Fire Moth.
Therefore, the wind and rain have arrived, and we just have to wait for the lightning and thunder.
Rushing across the long street, vehicles gradually appeared on the road. Some people who had also sensed something was wrong were following the advice and leaving. The originally empty street suddenly became lively.
However, in this busy traffic, there was only a speeding commercial vehicle passing in the opposite direction, attracting many people to look.
"What is that car doing? Didn't they say they were going to evacuate? Why is it heading to the beach?"
"Maybe they are reporters from a TV station. This typhoon is unusual, so it must be a hot spot. By the way, why hasn't Dr. Damian left yet?"
"He said that the research had reached a critical point and he insisted on staying in school to conduct experiments."
"Then forget about him, let's just go on a trip for a few days."
Ryan passed by and saw the pass to Changkong University hanging on the windshield of the van. In an instant, he thought of the colleague he had just met.
He is so unlucky.
I was suppressed by Mei in Qianyu Academy, and encountered Honkai when I changed the environment. Why do I always encounter unlucky people recently?
After being absent-minded for a moment, Ryan quickly regained his focus. He was not a nosy person, and what happened to his former colleagues was none of his business.
"Are you too lazy to even act?"
He saw the barbed wire fence in front of him with a "No Trespassing" sign waving on it, but there were only a few police cars parked nearby.
If the previous judgment was wrong, then now that Honkai energy has been increased across the board, could it be that the Fire Moth detection equipment is broken?
Just leave some scapegoats here to guard, who are you trying to fool?
Ryan simply stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, scaring the police officer who was blocking the road to roll to the side, then he knocked the barbed wire away with a bang and picked up the phone.
"Hello? Is it done?"
"I have already contacted your junior sister friend, and she is heading out of the city. I have also sent a message to Miss Elysia. The situation in the city is not good right now."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Death squads and lower level Honkai beasts have begun to appear in the city. Fortunately, there are not many of them, and the troops stationed in the city can still handle them."
Is the storm getting stronger?
Ryan tapped the steering wheel lightly. He had read the information about the Fire Moth. Before the Herrscher appeared, the concentration of Honkai energy in a certain area would gradually increase, and Dead Soldiers and Honkai Beasts would appear randomly.
The Herrscher is not a nuclear bomb that can flatten a large area in an instant. It is more like a radiation source that changes the environment of the area.
People who are not adaptable to Honkai energy will die soon, and some will become dead soldiers, and then kill together with the Honkai beasts, destroying everything like locusts. After all, the Herrscher has no intention of killing ordinary people.
'So the best way for ordinary people to survive is to run away from this area. If you can't run away, just stay at home and leave it to fate.'
Ryan remembered that Changkong City should have been completely destroyed, but now no matter how bad the situation was, 10% of the people could survive. He suddenly had a wonderful feeling.
Changing your destiny and taking a completely different new path, if you multiply this number by one hundred thousand or one million times, it Mei be a big step towards the unknown.
Turning the impossible into the possible and changing the trajectory of fate is more interesting than exploring the essence of Honkai.
Ryan grinned with a satisfied smile, turned the steering wheel sharply, and glanced at the afterimage coming from the side.
"Take them out. I will explore this unimagined path."
boom--
The heavy sword that fell from the sky split the commercial vehicle into two, and the front half of the vehicle rolled directly into the field, splashing mud all over the ground.
The phone turned busy. Hen looked up and glanced at the frightened Carol, then fixed his gaze on Hua who looked calm: "Did you hear that?"
"Well, I understand Brother determination. He wants to be a hero and protect the people of Changkong!"
Hen didn't know how to answer, so he just shook his head subconsciously: "Well, I think there are some differences. Although it's a bit similar, it's not just about protecting everyone. How should I put it? It's more like I enjoy it because I've blazed a trail."
"Indeed, it gives me the same feeling as when I developed a new move." Hua patted his friend shoulder and looked at the messy street.
Many vehicles crashed into each other, blocking the road. Some monsters rushed out of the alleys and slaughtered the crowd.
Chaos, killing, destruction.
These horrifying scenes were reflected in her emerald green eyes, intertwined with the memories of shopping with Ryan two days ago.
The noodle shop on Huaizhong Road, the vendors on the snack street, and Ms. Wen milk tea shop at the university, all these beautiful things were smashed to pieces in an instant, and the powerlessness and anger accumulated in my heart seemed about to explode.
After a moment, Hua took a deep breath, put on the alloy boxing gloves given by Ryan, and took a brave step forward.
"Mr. Hen, I want to join the battle, too. I also want to--"
She swung her fist hard, knocking the assassin who was rushing towards Carol away, causing his sternum to cave in.
"Follow your own beliefs."
...
A giant six-engine transport plane was hovering in the sky, and one could see that the sky in the distance was covered by a large group of thunderstorm clouds. The cloud layer was extremely exaggerated, covering the entire Changkong City.
Purple arcs flashed in the clouds, even interfering with electronic systems. It was hard to imagine what the scene was like beneath the clouds.
The blond man shook the wine glass, the crystal clear wall of the glass reflected the lightning, and behind him was the busy bridge.
The Fire Moth aerial command ship 'Raven' rushed here as soon as it discovered the abnormality in Changkong City.
In front of him was a holographic communication, but without a human figure, it had a pattern with 'SOUND ONLY' written on it.
"The plan has already been launched. No one can stop it now. However, Shenzhou is putting pressure on us. It seems that they were alarmed by the previous evacuation news."
"I know that those people want to be the savior, but they don't know that if they don't give up a little now, they will have to give up everything in the future." Calis sighed and replied calmly: "Just reply according to the process. The Fire Moths need time to evaluate and even more time to gather the troops, but you can intervene first."
The voices fell silent for a second. From their point of view, it was impossible to use evacuation as an excuse, otherwise they would inevitably be blamed later.
"Okay, but no one would use such an excuse..."
"This is not an excuse. Humans know nothing about Honkai. Who can be sure that the Herrscher will appear in the sea?"
No one can refute this because no one can take this responsibility.
"I understand. Lead the fleet to approach the coast immediately. In addition, Mr. Chief of Staff, I have one more thing to report." Edwin paused, then said, "Elysia has escaped surveillance. I am still investigating how she did it."
"No need to check. She must be coming here. Those people discovered the problem and of course they would think of their savior." Calis was not surprised and did not care.
"But it's too late now. The Herrscher is about to be born. Even if the aftermath of the battle is severe, it will cause heavy casualties. However, it's better to defeat the Herrscher as soon as possible. On the premise of completing the goal, it would be best if as few people as possible died."
The thunderclouds have arrived. Judging from their size, even the most powerful beings cannot conceal them. They have already set a bottom line.
Half a city, eight million people, this wound should be enough. In the end, the Herrscher must be defeated anyway.
bite--
With a slight sound, Calis took out the terminal and saw on the screen a temple species being shattered into pieces, with half of its body blasted into the ground.
Next to the corpse, a black-haired man stood like a mountain. In a trance, he seemed to be stared at by the other party and subconsciously clenched his wine glass.
Only when the man walked towards the fishing village did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's finally started."
After the car exploded, parts were scattered everywhere. The fields in the rainstorm had turned into mud. A more than five-meter-tall Temple level Honkai Beast was blasted into the ground, and the upper part of its body flew dozens of meters away.
The heavy rain soaked his clothes and made his hair stick to his forehead. Ryan retracted his right fist and shook his slightly numb elbow.
Just now, he used his elbow as a hammer to slam the beast into the mud, and before the beast could crawl out, he tore it in half with a shove of his foot.
However, in half a year, the Temple level Honkai Beast was no longer as powerful as he was. Fortunately, the Fire Moth didn't know about this growth potential, otherwise he would have regarded him as a monster long ago.
Being powerful is understandable, but being powerful without limits is terrifying.
Ryan moved his shoulders, pulled the box out of the wreckage of the car, then tied it to his back with a nylon strap, stepped onto the road, scraped the mud off the soles of his shoes, and raised his head to look at the fishing village not far away.
When I came back a few days later, the fishing village was still the same except that it was more dilapidated by the typhoon.
"But the stench of destruction has overwhelmed the smell of dead fish."
Ryan could tell without any instruments that the place had become a den of wolves and tigers, and the biggest guy was getting closer, just like the subjects who had arrived earlier, going forward to welcome the arrival of the king.
The Herrscher is about to be born, who will it be?
No one knows the answer to this question. According to the information of Fire Moth, the so-called Herrscher is the Herrscher of Honkai, who will bestow powerful strength and power on a certain human being, and this person is called the Herrscher carrier.
Apart from knowing that the carrier requirement is to have a relatively high adaptability to Honkai energy, the rest is more like opening a blind box, which is completely random.
It's hard to guard against. There is no way for billions of humans to detect resistance one by one. Who knows who it could be? Or Maybe Ryan himself is one of the top few Herrscher carriers in the Fire Moth database.
"It's nothing more than a monster, no matter who it is." Ryan knew that there was no possibility of saving the Herrscher of the previous Era. They could have personalities, but they had no humanity.
Just like a certain omnipotent anal-explosion machine, no matter how beautiful the wish is, it will be twisted into a destructive result. In other words, the moment you become a Herrscher, you are no longer a human being.
There is still enough time, so let me have a bite of the appetizer first.
Ryan walked towards the fishing village decisively. The reason why he came here was very simple, that is, to get rid of the "vanguard" before the Herrscher arrived, especially the Marichi, who was seriously injured. If the Herrscher was not coming, he would never come ashore.
As the saying goes, sharpen your knife before battle. A seriously injured Extreme Emperor-level Honkai Beast can serve as the best whetstone.
"I'm injured, and I can't escape from the deep sea. This is really a lost opportunity."
When he was still a few kilometers away from the village, Ryan suddenly stopped and saw the houses on the edge of the fishing village collapsing like building blocks, and a huge monster was breaking out of the building.
There are five story high chariots, temple class weapons with large shields and heavy swords, the Honkai Emperor floating in the air, and a huge monster coming ashore. It is like a silent army of monsters marching to crush all enemies that block the way.
The Marichi moved and the critical point is about to be reached.
Ryan could hear his heartbeat as he looked at the army of monsters spreading out in the rainstorm. Dozens, no, hundreds of Honkai beasts were rushing towards him.
The knights hooves trampled the mud and water, and the chariots trampled cracks in the cement road. In front of them, Ryan looked insignificant.
But the man still stood in the rain like a javelin, counting silently in his heart, and suddenly raised his head amid the thunder-like roar.
"Fire Moths, you have used me, so let me use you. Come on, let these monsters see what the light of Era is!"
Woo woo woo——
Suddenly, a sea of stars appeared in the sky, just like fireworks at a festival, falling with long tails. After a few seconds, the gloomy rainy day was illuminated by a series of strong lights.
Boom boom boom...
The earth was shaking, there was a roar in the ears, hundreds of missiles exploded and turned into dense fireballs, the torrential rain stopped in an instant, and the shock waves formed spheres in the rain.
So beautiful.
From Ryan perspective, the field in front of him seemed to have turned into a string of sparkling pearl necklaces. The creations of Era formed a brilliant light, and the energy engulfed the monsters one by one.
Honkai energy can interfere with electronic equipment, but it doesn't matter now. If the accuracy is expanded from one meter to ten meters, ten times the ammunition will be used. This round of bombardment by the Fire Moths fully demonstrated the firepower of mankind.
No wonder the upper echelons were so calm. The devastating bombardment had already crushed the two Herrscher. Even Ryan, standing in the center of the storm, could not be spared.
"As I expected, the Fire Moths can use some tricks, but we can't just ignore it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be dereliction of duty, but a crime." Ryan took a breath of the air filled with the smell of gunpowder, but knew that it was nothing at all. They were just doing a favor.
Because the moment the Herrscher is born, the suddenly increased Honkai energy will give birth to more companion beasts, and the sea will also be destroyed.
"But at least, my arrival has changed the fate of 100,000 people, or 1 million people?"
Ryan didn't know and didn't go into the details. He just took off his shoulder strap and slapped the box. With the sound of gears turning, a two-meter-long gun popped out and he casually held it in his palm.
Ryan felt a cold and delicate touch in his palm. He glanced at it and saw that the spear made of super-pressure alloy was silver all over. Mobius was obviously not interested in adding some decorations or patterns.
Very simple, and very deadly.
"Good gun." Ryan nodded with satisfaction, knowing that the material was genuine, and poked it lightly in his palm.
Woo——
The spear spun, splashing fine raindrops, and then was tightly held. The one foot long spear tip lightly touched the ground, and then rushed out with Ryan in an instant.
Sizzle...
The friction between the tip of the gun and the concrete floor produced dazzling sparks, like a flash of lightning extending forward into the boiling smoke.
As soon as the missiles swept the ground, a more deadly warrior arrived. Ryan stepped on the wreckage of the Honkai beast and rushed straight into the dust, and then was faced with a huge fist.
A chariot as tall as a five story building was smashed down by a punch. Although its body was broken, it had no sense of pain and fear, and it did not affect the battle at all.
Ryan rushed forward, and before the fist reached his head, he suddenly leaned forward, and his spear brushed the ground, drawing a bright arc.
pick!
With accuracy to the millimeter, the spear hit the lower end of the fist, causing the giant hand to bounce up. Before the charioteer could react, the human had already passed through the center of his legs. The silver spear was like a knife, cutting off his two giant legs like cutting butter.
Boom.
The chariot lost its balance, causing the ground to shake a few times. Ryan just kept moving forward, stabbing to death a few knights with missing limbs. He suddenly stopped and lowered his head to stab forward.
bite!
Several cracks appeared on the big shield, and the Temple Seed slid several meters away in an instant. Ryan did not chase after it, but jumped up instead. He saw several light blades emerging from the air, and the formed light blade vortex shattered the place where he had just stood.
The Emperor of Honkai came out, but before it could lock onto Ryan, terrifying wind pressure had already arrived from above his head, and he quickly gathered two blades of light to block his head.
boom--
The energy collided, and it was obvious that Ryan Honkai energy was much stronger. The spear penetrated the light blade and embedded into his chest. Then he ignored the opponent's counterattack and twisted his waist to swing sideways.
Sizzle.
The vortex of sword blades that suddenly appeared tore the Honkai Emperor into pieces, and the attacking creature had no time to think about how it could have hit one of its own, as the silver spear had penetrated the fragments and residual energy and went straight into its chest.
Ryan took a step forward, allowing the entire gun body to penetrate him. When he got close, his fist hidden under his ribs suddenly punched out.
An inch forward, and the rock breaks.
The fist hit the abdomen of the second Honkai Emperor, and the Honkai energy poured in, just like breaking a stone, exploding it into hundreds of pieces on the spot. While killing it, Ryan did not slow down.
bite.
The second explosion sank directly into the hard shield of the temple, and then it pressed against him, knocking over a dozen Honkai beasts like a battering ram. Before these monsters could get up, the light blade had fallen from the sky.
The sounds of cutting bodies became continuous, and the Honkai beast behind him could no longer get up. Ryan stood firmly on his horse, gripped the butt of the gun, and thrust it upwards fiercely.
rise.
The nearly four meter tall steel monster flew up directly, swinging its limbs, watching the enemy take advantage of this gap to kill several of its kind. When it fell, Ryan had been waiting for a long time.
The spear was wrapped around the neck, and the body turned as he did so. Finally, he held the spear with both hands and slammed it hard.
go!
Boom——
A hole was blown in the rain curtain, and the lower-level Honkai beast, which was famous for its defensive power, flew out like a cannonball and smashed into another, even larger chariot.
The charioteer who was still intact lowered his head and saw that his chest was completely shattered, with a piece of rag deeply embedded inside.
This giant beast, known for its slowness, paused for a moment, and slowly raised its scarlet eyes. It saw that the human was standing on top of its head, with a cold look as if it was looking at a corpse.
Boom...
With a heavy sound of landing, the giant beast splashed a cloud of dust. Ryan stood firmly on the corpse and looked forward.
The sky was gloomy, heavy rain was pouring down, the sea was rough, and a three-clawed crab was standing on the dock. Its shell was full of holes and it only had one eye left.
Even with the Honkai Core, a few days would not be enough for it to recover from its injuries. It could only stare at the powerful and familiar enemy in front of it with its one eye.
"Sorry for the wait." The man landed lightly and stabbed the spear into the corpse behind him.
"I'll take you on your way."
