……
The darkness in the sky covered an increasingly wider area. Now, not only the coastal areas, but the entire Eastern Hemisphere could see the black sun.
It is gradually covering the warm fireball, replacing it.
At the headquarters of the Destiny, Otto stood by the window holding a glass of red wine, looking up at the sky. He didn't know that the deal between Su Jue and him was such a crisis, but he had handed the weapon to save the world to Kiana, and had done what he could do, so the next step should be the stage of the savior.
Whether the world is alive or dead, it will have nothing to do with him anymore. He will take the Noah's Ark of destiny and go to the world where Kallen is still alive.
The black sun has obscured most of the sun, and grayness covers the entire sky.
"Solar eclipse? The observatory didn't say there would be a solar eclipse today." Countless people looked up curiously and looked at this rare astronomical phenomenon.
Reports about the solar eclipse have dominated news media, and rumors of the end of the world have been circulating in social circles.
After all, that black sun was too depressing.
Some people with weaker mental endurance have begun to tremble, silently praying that it is just an ordinary solar eclipse. Normal people have also sensed that something is wrong and no longer have the heart to work. Only those crazy people have started their final carnival.
"Mom, I'm scared." The child in the mother's arms began to cry, as if a switch was turned on. Cars on the road began to honk their horns, angry people began to curse loudly, and everyone was venting their inner anxiety.
Until finally, the sun's light disappeared completely and the world fell into darkness.
Fear and despair spread in everyone's heart.
The crying child looked up at the black sky with tears in his eyes, but his crying gradually became weaker.
"Mom, there's a star over there."
"Star?"
The mother followed her child's gaze and also spotted the burning white star.
After a while, the star became two. The light of the star was so weak, but in this pure darkness, any weak light would bloom into a dazzling brightness.
……
The size of the Sun-Eating Shadow has expanded to the point where it blocks out the sky. If it continues like this, even if it doesn't explode, people in half of the world will never be able to get bask in the sun again.
"Are you sure?" Even Kevin was a little unsure at this time.
Although the fact that the other party was able to explain the concept of imaginary renormalization meant that he had some understanding of the tree of imaginary numbers, this, after all, involved the life and death of half the world, and any slight mistake would be a catastrophe for mankind.
Su Jue didn't say anything, but just closed his eyes and felt the changes in the imaginary space.
The long-silent theater of domination began to sway, with invisible threads pulling at every corner.
Sky City, Abyss City, Destiny, Anti-Entropy, World Snake.
All the puppets left behind by Su Jue raised their heads and looked up at the Ruler of Rule. The power of all the puppets began to accumulate and merge into Su Jue's body, and countless images rolled in his mind.
In the end, the picture shattered like a bubble, leaving only an endless golden giant tree.
Standing in the red sand of the imaginary space, Su Jue broke free from the constraints of the roots and lightly snapped his fingers towards reality.
Hey.
Su Jue opened his eyes.
A dazzling light burst out from Kevin's artificially collapsed hands, and surging flames began to burn around Su Jue's body.
The scarlet plague gem spun rapidly, faster and faster, turning into a streak of light and piercing into the endless darkness.
In an instant, all the people who looked up at the sky saw two brighter suns after darkness fell.
One is white and the other is golden.
The cold white light in Kevin's hand turned into a giant sword with Jiemie as the core, tearing open the core of the Sun Devouring Shadow unstoppably. Tonatiuh, who had lost his biological instincts, also let out a miserable scream, like an egg with its shell broken, and chaotic black light overflowed.
However, it is still healing and its speed of self-destruction is accelerating.
And at this moment, Su Jue turned into a burning flame and poured directly into the chaos, and was completely swallowed by the Sun-Devouring Shadow.
The two stars that had just shone disappeared again, and the world fell into silence.
"end?"
Amid the whispers of countless people, the first ray of sunlight pierced through the dark sky and illuminated Kiana's cheek.
Successful.
Chapter 233 Darkening
After successfully entering the core area of the Honkai Will with the help of Kevin, Su Jue no longer cared about what was happening outside. All he could do was to continue absorbing Honkai energy.
If one wants to use oneself as an anchor to absorb the Honkai Will, it means that one must endure its almost infinite Honkai energy.
This is why Su Jue has hundreds of puppets to share the burden. If it were an ordinary Herrscher, no other Herrscher except Kiana would have such power.
As Su Jue absorbed faster and faster, the Honkai consciousness, which realized that it was being restrained, finally understood that Su Jue was preparing to turn against it, and immediately prepared to upload all the information to the cluster.
However, how could Su Jue, who had planned for so long, let him leave?
Countless Honkai threads spread throughout the Domination Theater, using the entire theater as a carrier to restrain the huge energy of the Honkai Will. This is Su Jue's advantage over other Herrschers, not only does he have a large number of puppets, but he also has excellent infrastructure.
However, if you want to stop the Honkai Will from uploading data, it is not enough to just withstand the Honkai energy, you must find the channel that connects it to the cluster.
The power of the Herrscher comes from the collapse, and Su Jue cannot use the Herrscher of Domination to cut off the connection. To do this, he must borrow the power of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers itself. And this is the ultimate purpose of the transaction between Su Jue and Otto.
In the last era, humans used Prometheus 17 to hack into the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, thus creating the Will of Honkai. 17 was hidden in it as a backdoor program for humans, waiting for the new civilization to restart the Stigmata Project.
Theoretically, only Kevin, the executor, can activate this backdoor. However, Su Jue has been busy for so long, specially helping Otto open the channel to the imaginary space, naturally for the purpose of finding the key information of this backdoor.
During the previous battle, the humanoid robot that Su Jue got in Haiyuan City played an important role. With the help of Cocolia and Ji Zi, the information Su Jue wanted was screened out - the program permissions of No. 17.
By running the password hacking method, Su Jue successfully found Kevin's account password from the imaginary space.
This means that Su Jue is now able to log in to No. 17 through Kevin's account, and even obtain the power of the end from the Honkai Will Cluster.
However, Su Jue's goal is to break away from the Honkai Will, and becoming the End goes against his purpose. Naturally, he disdains to do such a thing, so the most important role is to cut off the connection between this part of the Honkai Will and the cluster.
As long as the Honkai Will belonging to the Ruler of Domination is temporarily removed from the whitelist from the database, the intercepted Honkai Will will become rootless duckweed. If you want to connect to the server again, you have to wait for the Tree of Imaginary Numbers to respond again.
And this period is Su Jue's opportunity.
Realizing that Honkai energy had no effect on Su Jue, the Honkai Will could only use its own vast consciousness to erode Su Jue.
Su Jue’s host is so excellent that as long as he can be captured, even if he is abandoned by the cluster, he can use his original authority to become an existence similar to the End.
Therefore, Su Jue's hive consciousness became the invisible battlefield for him to fight against the Honkai. Once Su Jue was eroded, it meant that mankind would face the end of the world coming prematurely.
If Su Jue wins, it means that he will no longer be bound by the will of Honkai, which is like an employee directly firing the company boss.
Theoretically, it is impossible for an employee to fire his boss, because the Herrscher and Honkai God are not equal in status. But at this time, the Honkai Will was calculated by Su Jue, and the gap in status was no longer obvious, which gave Su Jue the opportunity to have an equal dialogue with the Honkai Will.
In the boundless pure white space of consciousness, the offline Honkai God and Su Jue sat opposite each other, and in front of them lay the chessboard with reality as the chessboard.
This is the battlefield between Su Jue and the Honkai Will, and it is also the place where the Honkai Will imprisoned Su Jue.
Black and white chess pieces were all over the chessboard, which meant that since Su Jue became a Herrscher, he had been fighting against the Honkai Consciousness intentionally or unintentionally. However, Su Jue's level was not high enough before, and he didn't even have the chance to play against the Honkai Will, so the chessboard was almost full of Honkai God's chess pieces.
At this point, Su Jue finally had the chance to fight the gods, but unfortunately the dragon-trapping formation had been completed, and it was extremely difficult for Su Jue to counterattack.
Unless a way to break the impasse is found, and the person Su Jue prepared to break the impasse is on the way.
……
The Pacific Ocean coastline was completely covered in frost, and the bright sunshine made the ice and snow beneath our feet even paler. On this endless ice field, there was only one figure walking alone.
Looking at the white snow, Kiana seemed to have arrived in Siberia more than ten years ago, a place with a tragic past.
She knew that this was just an illusion caused by Xilin's consciousness being summoned by Honkai, but she still couldn't control her inner sadness.
There were only more than ten kilometers left to the final battlefield, but Kiana stopped unconsciously. Once she stepped into the battlefield, it meant that she had to become an enemy of Su Jue with the determination to kill him.
"Do you really have the courage to fight him?"
"It must be very painful to put out the flame in your heart with your own hands."
"It's better to give up, so that both you and he can survive."
Such voices kept echoing in Kiana's mind. She didn't know whether it was the Herrscher of the Void taking advantage of the opportunity to invade her or she was just afraid to face it.
The hand holding the Skyfire Greatsword trembled slightly, and the courage that he had finally mustered seemed to be gradually fading away with the cold wind.
But when she looked at the star in her hand, she couldn't help but think of the night when she met Su Jue, when they supported each other.
"We can't stop here. He's still waiting for me. I can definitely save him."
Facing the biting cold wind, Kiana stepped out of that boundary.
In the core area, the collapse energy generated by the Sun-Devouring Shadow has been completely absorbed by Su Jue, but Kevin did not dare to relax at all.
Although Su Jue used himself as a container and absorbed the will of Honkai along with a huge amount of Honkai energy into his body, it does not mean that these energies will disappear out of thin air. Su Jue was the first and last carrier. After absorbing so much Honkai energy, no one knew how he would grow.
But what is certain is that no matter whether one chooses to seal or eliminate him, Su Jue is a trouble that must be solved.
During the time when Su Jue was confronting the Honkai Will, this body was out of control.
Under the pollution of the collapse, the short gray hair had turned black, and the body was full of collapse cracks, as if it would be smashed to pieces like a porcelain doll in the next second.
The moment he opened his eyes, a pair of vertical pupils quietly lit up red, and even Kevin felt a sudden chill.
A true monster was born.
Chapter 234: Complete Herrscher of Flame
As soon as the dark red eyes opened, the air around them seemed to boil. In less than half a second, the ice within a radius of 2 kilometers was instantly vaporized by the high temperature.
The ice prison that could originally restrain the Sun Devouring Shadow and solidify space was now rapidly melting under the impact of high temperature. Although Kevin immediately filled the melted area, Su Jue simply raised his hand and clenched his fist, shattering all the ice layers.
This does not mean that Su Jue is stronger than Kevin, but after breaking free from the constraints of the Ruler of Rule, this body with the amplification of dozens of dolls has far exceeded his expectations.
With Su Jue's terrifying physical fitness and the massive amount of Honkai energy left behind by the Honkai Will, it is not wrong to call the created existence a monster.
The evil Su Jue only retained his instincts as a Herrscher, and faithfully carried out the task of destroying civilization. Therefore, after breaking free from his restraints, the first thing he did was to use his ability as the Herrscher of Fire to burn the nearest Far East to ashes.
Sensing the threat from Su Jue, Kevin, a ruthless man of few words, rushed through the hazy high-temperature steam with his terrifying destructive power and forcibly interrupted his actions.
His attack successfully attracted Su Jue's attention, but Su Jue in the blackened state had been reborn, and the calamity only caused some minor injuries to him. Instead, the flames burning on the sword were absorbed by the flames surrounding Su Jue like a young bird returning to its nest.
Although the Plague Gem was only the core given to Xilin by the God of Disaster, and there was a certain gap between it and the Herrscher of Flame born in the last era of highly developed civilization, this gap had been completely offset in the hands of Su Jue, who had completely transformed into a Herrscher. And because of the amplification, the Herrscher of Flame was even more powerful than in the last era.
In this situation, it is no longer realistic to use the Divine Key made from the Herrscher Core to fight against Su Jue.
However, for a true warrior, their own body is their most powerful weapon. Whether it is Youlan Dai'er, Fu Hua or Kevin, all kinds of magical powers are not as good as breaking the law with force. Therefore, Kevin decisively gave up Jiemie and chose to fight Su Jue head-on.
The fist with terrifying power fell towards Su Jue, but was blocked by his crossed arms. The swirling flames immediately counterattacked, but Kevin, who had anticipated this, dodged it easily.
After just a few seconds of fighting, Kevin estimated that the Herrscher of Flame was as strong as himself, and it was not realistic to defeat him by force. However, after all, he was just a puppet controlled by Honkai, and was no match for Kevin in terms of combat experience.
Kevin had fought so many fierce battles in the previous civilization, and this level of enemy would not make him retreat. But just when this thought came to his mind, Su Jue's figure suddenly appeared beside him, and the power like a nuclear bomb burst out from his legs, kicking him directly into the sea.
The next second, the sea level rose unnaturally, as if a mountain collapsed. A huge iceberg was lifted by Kevin and smashed directly towards Su Jue. But before it touched the other party, the iceberg was neatly cut in half.
"Quantum travel, space cutting. How many abilities does he have?" Kevin was a little confused now. Even if he was controlled by Honkai, he must have these abilities. But before this, the World Serpent didn't even have any information about Su Jue. Even his identity as the Herrscher of Flame was only discovered recently.
For ordinary people, if they want to obtain various special abilities, only those who are born with stigmata can do it, but they can only have certain fixed supernatural powers. If they want to be like Su Jue who knows a little bit of everything, they must be someone like Kevin who has integrated the genes of multiple Honkai beasts.
If Kevin didn't know it was impossible, he would even doubt whether the other person was his offspring.
Of course, when it comes to diverse abilities, Kevin's impression is that the Thousand Herrschers of the previous civilization are the most representative. Each person has unique abilities. Maybe Su Jue has the potential to become a Thousand Herrscher, and will only show complex abilities after being destroyed [reverted].
This thought only flashed through Kevin's mind before he ruled it out. He did not feel the aura of other Herrschers from Su Jue, so he could only attribute it to Su Jue's special ability.
The thought was fleeting, and the two figures collided again, causing huge waves. High-temperature steam filled the sky, forming a rainstorm that rushed towards the Far East that was still struggling in suffering.
In the consciousness space, the chess piece in Su Jue's hand trembled for a moment. Just at that second, he seemed to feel some kind of threat. Although this feeling disappeared quickly, it still made him feel a little uneasy.
"Could it be that Kevin has discovered my identity?"
He is not afraid of Kevin, but he is troublesome.
"It seems that I have to lie dormant for a while."
There was not much space left for Su Jue to place his pieces on the chessboard, and the person he was waiting for to break the deadlock had not arrived yet. Looking at the expressionless God of Honkai opposite him, Su Jue sighed helplessly, and he didn't even know where to get a few cards from.
"Four 2s, a bomb."
Honkai God: “……?”
The moment Su Jue threw the card, some golden lines quietly emerged in the pure white space. At the same time, the eyes imprinted with the World Tree slowly opened.
The will of collapse was thoughtful, and looked at Su Jue's body, which was still in the imaginary space. After seeing those eyes clearly, all the doubts were finally answered. It turned out that from the birth of the Ruler of Rule, what He observed was just the backup left by Su Jue in the database.
