Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Thunder finally arrives!
Heavy rain fell down, but unfortunately the Honkai beast had no blood, otherwise the river would have been filled with blood. But even so, the air was filled with the smell of destruction.
Behind Ryan were ruins and dense bomb craters, with hundreds of Honkai beast corpses filling the place. In front of him was the vast ocean and the Emperor level Honkai beast that had just stepped ashore.
The rain fell on his head with a sound of pouring. Ryan stood quietly, staring at every move of the Marichi front of him. Unfortunately, the Honkai Beast had no intelligence and was not even surprised by the arrival of the enemy.
Crash...
The heavy rain was like a curtain, making everything around seem hazy. The rain flowed down from his forehead and passed through Ryan suddenly contracted pupils.
It was gone. Such a huge Honkai beast just disappeared from his sight. No, it disappeared from all his senses.
Such a mysterious situation would make people instinctively startled, but Ryan was already prepared when facing Marichi for the second time.
Mind control, no, consciousness distortion?
Without thinking, he dug his feet into the ground, gripped the gun handle and thrust it upwards fiercely.
The chariot corpse, as tall as a four-story building, was thrown directly into the sky, and then the next moment, it turned red like a boiled lobster.
Sizzle——
Just like a giant wielding a sword, a burst of energy penetrated the corpse and neatly cut an entire section of the cliff in half. Dozens of tons of rocks fell, creating a huge splash of water.
However, this momentary obstruction was enough. Ryan jumped back and looked at the lava-like surface in front of him, his eyebrows unconsciously frowned.
Long range attacks are very powerful. If you are a step slower, you won't even be able to find the entire corpse.
The energy was extremely terrifying. Ryan didn't want to be hit anyway, so he didn't dare to stop. He first took several steps to the side, and then changed direction collectively.
call out--
A smaller, faster beam of light passed in front of the toes, splitting the body of a Templar in two, with a cut so smooth that it looked like a laser pointer.
The ray position... is there!
Before his toes touched the ground, the Honkai energy had already formed a flat "floor tile" on the mud and water. Ryan stepped hard on it, creating a hole in the rain curtain and instantly rushed in front of him.
No!?
There was nothing near the cliff, so he rolled forward without thinking, and his hands hidden under his ribs suddenly clenched into fists.
Swoosh——
The hot energy cut through his back, causing a burning pain in his muscles, but Ryan completely ignored the pain and only focused on feeling the feedback from afar.
Missed the shot?
The falling light beam did not feel like it collided with the energy, proving that the blow had completely hit the air. He pushed himself against the ground and bounced up instantly, running forward while running his brain at full speed.
Ryan is not a berserker. Instead, when he meets an equally matched opponent, he is extremely calm. He analyzes the collected information one by one, as if he is doing scientific research.
Using imaginary space to move? No, the attacks were launched at the same time, it was impossible for it to move so fast.
Ryan quickly rejected this idea. Combining it with the previous intelligence, there was only one answer -
Or Maybe my consciousness was distorted. It wasn't there at all, so of course I couldn't hit it.
This answer must be accurate, so the question is: What should we do to deal with this kind of psychic-specialized Honkai beast?
The rain and the raised dust completely obscured the vision. It was useless to pin hopes on the Fire Moths now. It would be good enough if they didn't launch a tactical nuclear bomb and killed themselves together.
Let's keep a distance first. At least it's not as fast as me.
Sudden stop, change of direction, sprint, the whole set of movements was smooth and flowing. Letting the thick or thin beams of light pass by him, Ryan felt like he was dancing in the barrage of bullets, which made him calmer.
About ten seconds later, Ryan, who had already rushed hundreds of meters, finally showed joy.
Captured!
The feeling was indescribable, as if the obstacles in front of his eyes had been cleared and he felt the reality. Ryan stuck his legs into the mud, turned around quickly, and finally smiled.
"I see."
The huge Honkai beast appeared before his eyes like a magic trick. It was not at the seaside at all, but was clearly standing on the ruins of a fishing village. It arched its back and stared at him with the black eyeballs on its back.
As soon as the strong feeling of dizziness came over him, Ryan jumped to the side and circled around Marichi while drawing his conclusion.
"Its ability is mind control, but my Honkai adaptability is too strong and my will is too strong, so it can only distort my consciousness. With it as the center, a mental field will form within a 500-meter range. No wonder I couldn't find it when I wanted to fight it in close combat just now."
"If I get further away, it will stare at me with that eye, as if it is focusing its energy."
These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Ryan felt that this Marichi was more difficult to deal with than Adityas. He lacked the overwhelming momentum, but his ability was enough to crush him.
It has control, defense, and long-range attacks, but the range of that spiritual realm is not large. If it could be expanded ten times, it would be impossible to defeat it except by nuclear bombs. If it hides in the water, it will be almost invincible.
"Fortunately, you came out on your own initiative and were injured."
Since Ryan dared to come, it meant that he had estimated the success rate in advance. He turned around and was hit by the silver spear wrapped heavily in Honkai energy.
Swoosh——
A beam of light refracted and flew up into the sky. Ryan continued to sprint forward, and stopped suddenly and jumped back at about fifty meters.
The light beam melted a bottomless round pit the size of a bucket on the ground. Ryan had just lost his position again and now he was retreating. Sure enough, he found that Marichiwas crawling to the right.
Dozens of limbs swung rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the huge body moved dozens of meters.
Four hundred and fifty meters.
Ryan every step just now was extremely precise, and he determined that the area of the spiritual realm was shrinking. This was normal. Even if the Honkai beast had a core, its energy was not infinite.
Marichi was injured before, and its outer shell has not been repaired yet, so how could it have any extra energy?
The Emperor level Honkai beasts actually have intelligence, but they were born too recently and still seem too honest, so when Ryan noticed this, he first dodged to the side and then focused his attention on the bottom of the Marichi.
Scythe blade, shaping.
Using long distance control and shaping abilities together, a sickle over five meters long was created just in front of Marichi's movement, and then Ryan deliberately froze.
In just a moment, the black eyeball locked onto him, like a dull hammer hitting the top of his head. Ryan lost consciousness in that instant and could even feel the deadly energy gathering.
Marichi had lost his patience with this hunt, and this time the beam of light was two or three meters thick, enough to cut an aircraft carrier in half, but at the same time, the sickle had already hit its rapidly moving limbs.
Swoosh——swoosh——
First there was the sound of the sickle blade cutting through the shell, and then a red beam of light passed over Ryan head and rushed straight into the sky. Marichi fell to one side, and his fatal attack missed, and the black eyeball also missed its target.
Ryan woke up immediately, saw the brilliant beam of light, felt the scorching air, and the heavy rain evaporated before it even hit the ground. He was neither afraid nor excited, but just looked forward calmly.
Too bad, you're just that short.
While the chubby monster was getting up, Ryan stood outside the spiritual realm, leaned back, accumulated energy in the gun, formed a rolling vortex, and then stepped down with his left foot.
Boom!!
Within a few meters, raindrops, mud, and corpses of Honkai beasts were all thrown into the air. Ryan used his left foot as a fulcrum, leaned forward from backward, and threw the spear out.
Spiral Falling Star Gun!
call out--
A pale circle exploded in the rain, and as the air whistled and a meteor streaked across the sky, Ryan did not lose connection. His body, which had jumped up due to throwing the spear, fell down, and then he swung his arms and ran wildly.
The meteor arrived first and hit the giant claws raised by Marichi. The energy was rolled into a vortex cloud, followed by dazzling sparks.
The energy was offset in a scream, and the weapon made of super-pressure alloy continued to move forward, piercing a large hole in the giant claws, and then penetrated into the round body from the side until the end of the handle.
Marichi had already had half of his limbs cut off, and he could no longer maintain his balance under the impact. He turned over on his back, and his black eyeball tried its best to search for the enemy. However, before it could lock onto Ryan, a red pistol shot at him.
"Why do you think I cut off your left limb?" Ryan smiled gently, watching the pistol approaching and hitting the black eyeball.
boom!
A ball of red light exploded on Marichi back, and his eyeballs were blown apart. The exploded energy dissolved a big hole in his shell.
It no longer had a chance to maintain its balance. The moment the spiritual realm disappeared, Ryan jumped up, raised his right fist, and hit the exposed end of the gun handle like a hammer.
Cùn jìn. Broken iron.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three consecutive punches, each one harder than the last, made the spear embed deeply into the torso, the Marichisink into the ground, and also allowed Ryan to drill into its body.
The Honkai beast had no flesh, blood, or internal organs. Inside its hard shell was empty and pure energy. In this strange world, he saw a "star".
It was a diamond shaped crystal, and it was it that drove the huge body of the Honkai Beast. Ryan said nothing and just reached out and grasped it.
"Show me your roots!"
The Marichi could not move, like a huge rock, silently accepting the erosion of the heavy rain. The dust dispersed, and the drone finally sent back the picture.
The bridge of the Raven was completely silent, but the view from the air was even more shocking.
There were bomb craters and corpses everywhere, and there was not a single intact house to be seen. The huge body of Marichi was the most conspicuous. This Emperor level Honkai beast that made the Nan Shenzhou branch helpless was no longer moving. There was no way it could destroy a destroyer detachment in just a few moves.
Cheers were brewing, but only Calis frowned.
"What good would it be for this man to kill Marichi alone? Could it be..."
The doubts just arose and then disappeared, because at this moment, a pair of hands pierced through Marichi scarred back.
Just like tearing the shell of a coconut, a person crawled out from the gap and looked at the drone expressionlessly.
Ryan, come back.
Heavy rain had been falling for a whole day, and Marichi had smashed a big hole in the middle of the ruins of the fishing village, and the gathered rainwater formed a small pond.
"Phase one is complete."
Ryan exhaled a puff of white smoke and retracted his gaze. The Fire Moth had helped after all, so he could just watch it if he wanted.
It doesn't matter what they think, because any little thoughts will be overwhelmed by strength and gradually surpass the original value. This is why Ryan can get out of those things.
You can try anything and explore anything. The only difference is whether you are forced to do it or it's just what you want.
Development should be free, but this freedom is so precious because few people can hold it, just like why he stays in this ocean.
Because I want to, no need for too many reasons.
Retracting his attention, Ryan spread out his hands, and the energy gathered into a red ball in his palms, illuminating his delighted face.
"700HW of energy is enough to break through the defense." Ryan said to himself, but he was far from being ecstatic.
A top notch Emperor class Honkai Beast plus a group of minions only increased the energy by 200HW. This only proves that Emperor class Honkai Beasts are no longer new and cannot increase dramatically like Adityas.
"It's really metaphysical. I still don't understand how this energy-boosting formula is calculated."
Ryan shook his head sullenly, clenched his fist, and annihilated the high-concentration Honkai energy sphere. In this world, energy is only the basis of everything, and the most important thing is another thing.
The grey eyes gradually turned dark, like a drop of ink falling into water, even the whites of the eyes were 'polluted', and then Ryan had a strange feeling.
It was as if he had fallen into an invisible spiritual world, possessing both real and imaginary perspectives. This wonderful feeling told him the result.
Living things radiate invisible spiritual light, and I can touch it, erode it, and control it.
This is difficult to describe, just like the spiritual fusion warriors of the future, not only are they rare, but they themselves cannot explain the nature of this ability.
The invisible things are always profound and obscure, and even with Ryan knowledge, he cannot describe them accurately.
"In theory, this is the effect of imaginary numbers affecting real numbers. It is essentially an application of Honkai energy, so it will also be affected by the adaptability of Honkai energy. However, as a derivative, it will also be affected by the strength of the target's will."
Ryan stood in the rain, as if he was in a research state, and he sighed after a long time.
The kill was so clean that there was no material left for him to experiment with, and he had no time to practice and control this power.
But his fate was good, as long as he took this step, countless wonderful ideas would emerge. No matter how mysterious the power was, he would quickly master it and then use it better than its original owner.
Turning around, Ryan pulled out his spear. The silver spear had turned black, and the originally smooth surface also showed signs of dissolution. Fortunately, the overpressure alloy was very resistant and did not affect the performance.
"If we use full power twice more, it will be destroyed. The materials alone will cost more than one million Euros. Mobius must be so heartbroken that he will vomit blood." He smiled maliciously, and felt that when he had some free time, he would help speed up the development of soul steel.
Weapons are quite important. Not only do they improve the killing efficiency, but they also have various uses. And I don't know how to use rocket punches.
He returned to the wreckage of the car, heard the ringing, and found the phone in the middle of the wreckage.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Hua voice came from inside, sounding anxious, and there was a rustling sound due to the interference.
"It's okay. I've already dealt with Marichi. It's sleeping peacefully." Ryan sat on the engine. He was soaked and didn't care. "By the way, how are you guys? Hey, what's that noise over there?"
Hua was not surprised at the death of Honkai Beast. In her eyes, Ryan seemed omnipotent.
The strong wind blew her raincoat. Standing on the viaduct, the girl could see the crowded traffic below and was surrounded by countless noises.
Countless cars were stuck together and no one could move. Some soldiers were shouting loudly through loudspeakers.
"Everyone, get off the bus and walk,"
Dozens of helicopters flew overhead, like searchlights swaying in the dark sky. Occasionally, intensive gunfire could be heard, which was the exchange of fire between the evacuated troops and scattered Honkai beasts or death squads.
It's very chaotic, but not hopeless. The scope of the Honkai is only in Changkong City. Outside the ring road is the safe zone.
Hua reported what he saw to Ryan, leaving the man at the center of the storm slightly silent.
Hen did a good job. He even knew how to contact the army to maintain order and evacuate the crowd. In fact, the goal of some people in the Fire Moth has been achieved. The scope and population affected by this Honkai are too large, and it is no longer possible to suppress it.
Those who can escape are the lucky ones. The city must be a purgatory now. Even if the Fire Moths mobilized troops from all over the world, it would be impossible to suppress it.
"I'm glad you're safe. What about Carol?"
"I sent her to the camp, it's safe there. Mr. Hen went to command the scene, and I..." Hua paused, and asked with a guilty conscience: "I want to join the battle and protect those who are fleeing."
"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 my thoughts. You are not my vassal, so——" Ryan stood in the heavy rain and shouted: "Just stand up and do it, implement your own ideas, and open up 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 girl 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 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!
