I am a former Flame Chasers

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Third Herrscher, the Herrscher of Thunder!



Even after countless years of fighting against Honkai and the experience of two Herrscher, the Fire Moth and most scientists can still say:

I know nothing about Honkai.

This wave of Era 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 Herrscher of God.

"The third Herrscher appears, coordinates..."

"Energy detection, 1000, 1500, 2000... The maximum Honkai 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 Changkong several times, while everyone from officers to staff had forgotten Ryan existence.

In their opinion, no one would be stupid enough to alarm the Herrscher, or Ryan had done his best to block Marichi, 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 Herrscher 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, Changkong City. She is a caregiver at an orphanage and 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 Herrscher 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.

"Elysia 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 Changkong 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 Elysia 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.

Boom boom

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 fight 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 eyes, which actually made him feel a bit of beauty.

"So this is how the Fire Moths dealt with the Herrscher 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 companion beasts, and then use more human lives to test the Herrscher 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 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 hands. Chen is completely controlling this power by instinct. He knows the results but not the reasons. If he were replaced by a Dr in electromagnetism, it would be troublesome.

But even if it's just instinct, it's terrifying enough.

The residential area was directly turned into a deep pit. There was nothing within hundreds of meters. All the steel and houses were wiped out, fully demonstrating the indestructible nature of the Ruler of Thunder.

Ryan was not in a hurry and continued to observe in secret. Soon, the second and third rounds of attacks from the Fire Moths followed.

First, a hole was blasted in the sky by an object falling at a high speed. As the sunlight shone in, a black shadow flashed quickly in Ryan eyes.

"God's Scepter?"

This was an attack launched by a near-Earth satellite. A ten-meter-long high-strength alloy fell directly from space like a spear from the sky. The kinetic energy it carried was enough to reduce a small town to ashes.

Then, a strong light illuminated Ryan eyes, and it disappeared in a flash. When he reacted, the "God's Scepter" had disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"It's useless. The high strength alloy decomposed after only one meter of penetration."

A few seconds later, almost at the moment when the "scepter" disappeared, several hypersonic ballistic missiles flew over, loaded with heavy warheads, but failed to bloom brilliantly.

Several arcs of electricity surged up automatically, like sickles sweeping across the sky, rendering the warheads useless before they exploded.

"The Herrscher is not a target. He will take the initiative to attack after discovering danger." Ryan sighed, looking into the distance and at the tactical terminal. Just as the uncontrolled missile landed, what he had been expecting finally came.

Dozens of cruise missiles flew over and exploded a hundred meters away from the light curtain.

A series of red light balls suddenly lit up, and the warhead released all the stored Honkai energy. The roaring energy engulfed everything around it, and Ryan narrowed his eyes, staring at the figure in the pit.

She retreated, as expected unable to perfectly block Honkai energy, which was the same type of energy as hers.

He clenched his fists quietly, and the stone in his heart was finally put down. Although the Herrscher of Thunder only took a small step back, it still proved that Honkai had the highest killing efficiency.

"This proves that I have some chance." Ryan gained some confidence. He felt guilty after seeing that the saturation attack just now had no effect.

For example, the God's Scepter could not be intercepted by mortals, but he did not move, but his eyes became more focused.

After these three moves, the information in the tactical terminal began to become confusing. The Fire Moth had already used most of its weapons, a group of scientists were almost scratching their heads, and the supercomputer was about to crash.

A single spark in the microscopic world requires billions of calculations, and the Herrscher of Thunder has at least magnified this scale by ten thousand times, like a beast that has had enough fun and gently takes a left foot forward.

In just a moment, the thin figure in the center of the circular pit disappeared. Only a flash of lightning went from the ground to the sky and stopped in the center of the fierce air battlefield. The world suddenly became weird and quiet.

Whether it was the Fire Moth headquarters in the distance, Ryan on the ground, or the pilots in the air, they were all watching the strange scene.

Without any tools, a young girl stayed in the air, her silver hair fluttering gently. All around her were various war machines, missiles flying by, machine guns roaring, and only she seemed out of place.

"That damn stand is gone, all squadrons attack!"

"Concentrate your firepower and crush this monster."

The astonishment lasted for a moment, and the Fire Moths immediately launched a counterattack. The fighter planes ignored the Honkai beasts and gathered from all directions. The pilots seemed to have entered some kind of excited state and just kept pressing the shooting button frantically.

Swish, swish, swish...

Dense missile trails tore through the sky, flying towards the center from all directions, but the girl's golden eyes just turned slightly and she spread out her right hand.

The purple lightning gathered and condensed into a long sword, just like a creature created from the void.

"Stupid and pointless resistance."

The voice was emotionless, and then he gripped the hilt of the knife in reverse and gently pushed it towards his feet.

Just like a stone falling into the lake, countless purple arcs spread out in all directions. The ripples passed silently across the sky, and in an instant they spread from the dot to the horizon.

It wasn't that gorgeous, but the next moment, a disturbing scene emerged.

Hundreds of missiles were flying in the sky. These sophisticated weapons were like the cheapest fireworks, colliding with each other, landing on buildings and the ground, exploding into thick smoke and setting several blocks on fire.

Not only the missiles, but the fighter jets also lost control. All electronic systems and communication systems failed. Even if the joystick was broken, it could not be controlled.

It was as if there was a rain of iron in the sky. Fighter planes spun down and turned into fireballs after the loud bangs.

In just a moment, all three squadrons were wiped out.

Ryan pupils contracted. When he saw this scene with his own eyes, he realized the horror of the Herrscher. His Honkai energy strength now exceeded the Emperor level, and it was difficult for him to fight against an air force of this size.

Those missiles are not fireworks that require a certain amount of energy to defend against, but this Herrscher only used an electromagnetic pulse wave to destroy them all. How easy it was.

Is this the authority of the Herrscher? How did they do it?

I really want to explore this unknown.

Desire overwhelmed fear, but fortunately it did not overwhelm reason. He had estimated that the polymer energy-blocking armor made by Mobius could only block three attacks at most, and the Herrscher of Thunder could not output at full power.

The Fire Moth attacks are ineffective, but they can continuously consume the Herrscher energy. No matter how powerful the power is, it will be greatly reduced without energy. However, there are two problems here:

First, the Herrscher Honkai Beast is different. Not only does it have a high Honkai energy intensity, but it also has an extremely strong replenishment rate.

Second, the Fire Moths are not fools. That group of people also want to use Changkong City as cannon fodder and launch an attack when their resources are almost exhausted.

It's really despicable that the Fire Moth, which is supposed to protect everyone, has to be treated as consumables by civilians.

Ryan looked at the terminal again and captured a key command:

All members retreat temporarily and wait for Elysia to arrive for support.

Is that fairy lady finally coming?

Ryan also showed some joy, but his morale was not as high as that of ordinary soldiers. He knew too well what those high-level people were thinking.

It would be great if Elysia could defeat the Third Herrscher, but if not, those bastards would blow her up as well, because Mobius couldn't dig out any secrets, and Elysia value had been greatly reduced.

"Then I will open up another path." Ryan took a deep breath, looked at the Herrscher in the sky, and raised his right hand.

The powerful Honkai energy gathered into a ball in his palm, and was stretched, shrunk, and condensed like noodles. At this moment, the Herrscher in the air immediately lowered his head.

Even though there were still missiles flying in the sky and exploding before hitting the Herrscher, this concentration of Honkai energy was too rare, and the source was locked in an instant.

On the rooftop of the office building, a man was also looking at her, his black hair surging like the tide, the satellite dishes around him were dissolving, and in his hand was a 'burning' red gun.

Who is it?

The Herrscher tilted her head slightly, instinctively feeling somewhat puzzled. At a time when the Fusion Warriors had not yet appeared, Honkai energy was indeed rare among humans, but her instinct soon told her the result:

This is...the enemy!

Boom——

The rooftop shattered directly, and a red spear rushed towards her at several times the speed of sound, piercing through the electromagnetic barrier in an instant, causing her to subconsciously raise her knife.

BOOM! BOOM!

Thunder roared, and the light spear collided with the long sword, forming a mist-like diffusion, which wrapped the Herrscher in it like a flower, and then the next moment, it was annihilated by an even larger lightning.

The sky was filled with arcs of electricity, and all the Honkai beasts within a hundred meters were broken into particles, but the Herrscher didn't care at all and just looked down at the earth.

After throwing a spear, the strange human did not rush up to fight him, but disappeared on the Honkaid rooftop. After a moment, the Herrscher had locked onto the other party through the smoke and dust.

The man jumped down from the roof, the air became steps, and he sprinted while falling.

The Herrscher tilted his head expressionlessly, and soon received an instinctive response:

Chase him and destroy him until not even an atom of him is left!
