Lu Mian didn't respond, but just nodded slightly, his face solemn, without any hint of joking.
[You don’t often make promises, but you won’t be stingy with your promises at a time like this. ]
[Even if this promise is a bit like "I will go back home and get married after this battle" to set a flag for myself. 】
[After comforting Padu who was worried about you, you saw the girl follow Dante and Leon away, looking back every few steps.]
[Then you begin to look for the Ruler born from this collapse.]
[There is still a debt between you, Honkai and Herrscher that has not been settled. ]
[Not long after, you found this Herrscher.]
[Perhaps because Herrscher of Thunder likes to run to high places, you saw His figure on a high rooftop.]
【He is fighting with someone at this moment. 】
【Oh, He is fighting with Kevin...】
[You rushed to the rooftop and witnessed the two "Supreme Ones" fighting to the peak, and your Dao was worn out. 】
[Ancestor Kevin is worthy of being Ancestor Kevin. 】
[The strongest warrior of the previous civilization is worthy of being the strongest warrior of the previous civilization. 】
[This guy doesn't have any enhancements on him, and he can fight against the Herrscher directly with just a broken baseball bat. ]
[Although he now looks like he is about to be killed by the Herrscher Cinnabar...?]
【Mist grass! ? 】
[Seeing Kevin covered in wounds and bleeding everywhere, he is in a critical condition. If you jump on him, it will be a divine grace barrier.]
[The holy and solemn golden light poured down from the dome, covering the entire rooftop in a semicircle.]
[Nothing can hide, no one can block it, the divine light descending from the sky is hard to guard against! ]
[Kevin and the Herrscher of Thunder looked at this extremely wonderful scene before them and both stopped what they were doing.]
[The next second, after the "Divine Grace Barrier" was completely formed, the two of them didn't even have time to talk, and instantly knelt on the ground, bowing to each other.]
[Each of them fell to their knees faster than if they had been shot.]
[The Herrscher, the darling of Honkai, an apostle of God with human appearance and unimaginable power; and the infant form of the strongest warrior of a former civilization. ]
[They knelt together in your divine grace barrier.]
Changkong City, rooftop.
Kevin and the Herrscher of Thunder, who didn't even have the strength to speak, bowed head to head, and neither of them was able to hold the baseball bat in their hands.
He glanced at Lu Mian's trouser legs, and his pounding heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason.
Is this man who comes riding on divine light an enemy or a friend?
If it was an enemy, how come he also captured that unreasonable crazy woman on the opposite side?
If he was a teammate, why did you just get rid of him?
"...Hiss..." Kevin tried to struggle to say something, but accidentally pulled the wound on his body, causing him to gasp in pain.
Once my spirit was dispersed, I no longer had the strength to speak.
"Tat-tat--"
As Lu Mian's footsteps got closer, Kevin's heart grew heavier. When Lu Mian stopped in front of him, he subconsciously closed his eyes.
However, the next second was unexpectedly warm.
Lu Mian helped the weak Kevin up with both hands, and greeted him warmly with a smile:
"Hey boy, are you okay?"
The kindness of the smile and the sincerity of the words stunned Kevin, a sunny and cheerful boy.
After a long while, he managed to give a response, "No, he's not dead."
"That's good, that's good." No matter what Kevin felt, Lu Mian was sincere.
He now has the impulsive idea of treating Kevin to a meal, and then clinging to him tightly when he grows up.
He fought against the Herrscher with his mortal body and a broken baseball bat. Although he was almost defeated by Cinnabar, it was enough to show that he had a promising future.
Isn't this much more interesting than Alicia?
[You briefly explained the basics of Honkai Impact and Herrscher to the injured Kevin, and he easily accepted these settings.]
[After all, I am still a high school student, so I have some fantasies about this. 】
[But Kevin doesn't seem to be interested in becoming a hero and contributing to the world or saving the world. ]
【You said nothing.】
[After all, you yourself wouldn't be so foolish as to rush forward and sacrifice yourself for the world, so you're naturally not qualified to comment on Kevin.]
[In Kevin's eyes, you who easily defeated the Herrscher and him are professionals in fighting against Honkai. ]
[He sincerely thanks you and further asks if you have ever seen a beautiful purple-haired girl named "Mei".]
[You are not interested in knowing Kevin's love history, and you directly point out the bright path of Fire Moth to him, and say that if he wants to join Fire Moth, he can only rely on himself. ]
[Hiss—It was only then that you remembered that Kevin was still injured, and you wanted to give him the inscription as well.]
But he refused.
[He smiled foolishly and said he was fine, and showed you his previous wound, which had now scabbed over. Then he left your support and limped downstairs, holding onto the wall.]
[You looked at Kevin's "desolate" back as he left, wondering if you should help him, but in the end you didn't move.]
[You two are not that close yet, and you still have the Herrscher of Thunder to deal with.]
[Before Kevin leaves completely, you wish him to find his true happiness.]
[He turned around and gave you a very sunny smile, then waved his hand weakly and left without looking back.]
[You stared at Kevin's departing figure for a few seconds before looking away and looking at the Herrscher of Thunder who was still kneeling on the ground, unable to move.]
[Perhaps, he can also be moved by true love like Raiden Mei and Herrscher Mei? ]
[You don't know whether there is an essential difference between the former Herrscher and the current Herrscher. ]
[After a moment's hesitation, you waved your hand and killed the Herrscher of Thunder, and then declared war on Honkai.]
[Listening to His sharp wail as the golden lock pierced His body, you remained expressionless from beginning to end.]
[Perhaps this Herrscher can be reformed, but you and "humanity" obviously cannot afford the cost of reforming Him, nor can you afford the cost of failure.]
[Besides, you came before Him not for the sake of the world's beauty or justice, but just to avenge a personal vendetta and prevent the Herrscher from causing greater harm to human civilization and the world.]
【If you commit murder in vain, you will bear the consequences alone. 】
[After dealing with the Herrscher of Thunder, you collected the Divine Grace Barrier and placed a conspicuous mark next to the Herrscher of Thunder's body.]
[All your talents are related to games. Even if you take the Herrscher's corpse for yourself, you can't bring out its full value. Instead of doing that, it's better to leave it to someone who can really use it.]
[As humans become stronger, it will be easier for you to fight against the collapse. 】
Chapter 12: Ascension to God (Two in One)
[After properly dealing with the Herrscher of Thunder, you returned to the company and immediately began to formulate a plan to fight against Honkai.]
[The plan goal is clear. Your behavior of making games does not count as improving the technological level of human civilization. As long as the technological level of human civilization remains at the current level, the intensity of the proportional collapse will not increase.]
[Then, you can lead a group of game protagonists to pin down Honkai and the Herrscher driven by Honkai. ]
[The only thing to pay attention to in this plan is how to prevent human civilization from climbing up the technology under the pressure of collapse and thus dragging you down. ]
[You also have corresponding countermeasures for this. ]
[You used the banner of "Shock" to make a chart showing the rise in the technological level of human civilization and the overall intensity changes of the three great collapses experienced by humans, and pointed out in a very obscure way that "the advancement of human civilization and technology will make the collapse stronger", and then posted it on an academic website.]
[The reason why it is pointed out so obscurely is because people always believe in what they believe. ]
[Telling them this directly will probably not work. Only by letting them guess the answer themselves using your chart will they believe it.]
[This sounds difficult, but it is not easy at all to implement. ]
[But you don’t need everyone to know this. ]
[As long as the relevant heat is hyped up high enough that the real scientific research geniuses learn about it and pay attention to it, and then make bold assumptions and carefully collect evidence, it will be considered a success.]
[You think so, and you do so. ]
【However, your plan failed. 】
[The chart you posted only lasted a few minutes before it was lost forever.]
[Not to mention waves, not even the slightest ripple was stirred up. ]
[This precious and advanced information that you gave to all mankind was hidden by a certain group of people.]
【Who is it? 】
[You are not curious, but you have to make more preparations. ]
[Regardless of whether the group that concealed the news did so out of selfish desire or for some other reason, their concealment of the news meant that they did not want anyone in the world except themselves to know the news.]
[It looks like you're going to be in trouble. ]
[As you expected, you encountered an assassination attempt that night.]
In a dim little room.
Lu Mian was alone, staring at the screen in front of him that was emitting a faint fluorescent light, looking puzzled - as if wondering why someone would secretly conceal news that would benefit all of humanity.
"laugh--"
At this moment, a sharp and cold blade pierced through Lu Mian's hot-blooded heart, penetrated from the back, and protruded a large part of his chest.
Lu Mian's pupils suddenly shrank, but there was no trace of pain on his face. Instead, he looked extremely calm.
The next second, he twisted his neck 180 degrees and looked at the cool and pretty lady with gorgeous cherry-colored hair behind him in a weird manner, "Okay, okay, heroes are really as numerous as crucian carp in the world, beautiful lady, may I ask your name?"
The cherry-haired killer was also a professional, at least he had an excellent psychological quality. He remained expressionless when he saw such a weird scene. He immediately pulled out the sharp blade that had stabbed into Lu Mian's chest. In an instant, with a "whoosh" sound, Lu Mian's head spun and flew to the floor.
The amount of bleeding was alarming, spraying everywhere, as if someone was painting with blood, a splash-ink painting.
Lu Mian's limp body fell to the ground, but his head rolled on the ground, staring at the cherry-haired killer and sneering:
"Ying, what a beautiful name, just as beautiful as you are; Ling, your sister is also a very cute little girl, hehe~"
The killer named "Ying" was unmoved by the first half of the sentence, but as soon as the second half was spoken, the coldness on her beautiful face quickly melted and turned into visible panic.
Before she could actually react, the headless corpse, the head rolling on the ground, and the splattered blood all turned into golden feathers and flew away.
Seeing this, Sakura, who knew she could switch between offense and defense, didn't even dare to think about what would happen to her sister.
She hurriedly pushed the door open, only to see several of her colleagues who were on this mission kneeling in front of the door.
They died in such a humble manner, as if they were worshipping some supreme god, or as if they were confessing their own sins.
[If you can't even deal with this little storm, you, the killer, have wasted your time and energy on half of Europe. ]
[After using Mimicry·Yu Duchen to solve the current minor trouble, you followed the clues and found the organization behind Ying, which is: the assassination organization "Poison Pupa" under the command of the Fire Chaser Moth. ]
[They received instructions from a high-ranking member of the Fire Moth to assassinate you.]
[Tsk...]
[You made a barbecue of "this poisonous pupa" with a wave of your hand, and then found the high-ranking official who concealed your information and launched an assassination attempt on you.]
[You are curious about his purpose in doing all this. ]
[Does he think that humans are more than capable of fighting the Honkai, so he is driven by desire to put human civilization on the gambling table, or is it something else? 】
【The answer suddenly doesn’t matter to you so much. 】
【Your thinking has changed a little bit. 】
