[With good wishes in your heart, you turned and walked into the wedding room. ]
[You still have responsibilities that you must bear no matter what, and you still have important people waiting for you to love. ]
【Time passes, day and night.】
[It is hard to evaluate life after marriage, but it is probably a period of time that you can laugh and say is boring. ]
[I don't know where this girl Padu learned "Housekeeping Encyclopedia" from and started to care about housework. 】
[As for the effect, hehe, haha. ]
[You often hug Paddo and say to her: "After a few years of pampering, you have completely transformed from a nimble wild cat to a clumsy domestic kitten."]
[In return, the girl grumbled, "Look at the growing number of money trees and you'll know my skills are still there, right? It's just that this housework is too difficult, that's for sure."]
[As for Sakura, her love is actually very silent and reserved, so silent and reserved that you can only get a glimpse of it from the rice balls that she prepares for you and Ling every day, which are bigger than her head. ]
[So Ling has been eating this kind of stuff? It's so disgusting. ]
[When eating rice balls, you always subconsciously stare at Ling for a long time, and everything is said without words. ]
[As for Wei Wei, she was present in both of the above scenes. ]
【She is always there.】
【...】
[A few months after your marriage, you and Wei Wei started research on mechanical ascension. It was like turning from a rugged and muddy mountain road to a smooth road. The research process went very smoothly.]
[It’s just that your wives often act like spoiled brats to you, which greatly delays the progress of your research.]
【You can only smile helplessly at this. 】
[Because you know that once the research and experiments related to mechanical ascension are successful, the waiting that only exists in their eyes will begin. ]
[Tenderness crushes heroic ambitions. You don’t want to leave them, but there are some things you have to do.]
【You have already realized it. 】
【At the same time, the sixth great collapse broke out. 】
[The Herrscher born in this Great Collapse possesses the power to cause all things to wither, identified as: the Herrscher of Death. ]
[Kevin, who was the best fighter of the Fire Moth at the time, led the team to attack and kill the Herrscher together with Dante.]
Chapter 25: Dante's Death (Two in One)
[The sixth great collapse breaks out. 】
[The Herrscher born in this great collapse has the power to make all things wither, identified as: the Herrscher of Death. ]
[If we look deeper into its essence, it should be to manipulate cells to achieve the creation of death that causes all things to wither, or the creation of flesh and bones that revive the dead. 】
[Compared to the previous major collapses, this collapse outbreak seems to be somewhat different in nature. ]
[Perhaps it is because the power of the Herrscher of Death cannot cause direct harm to humans like storms and frost, or perhaps there is some other unknown reason buried deep inside.]
[The Herrscher of Death, whose accompanying Houkai energy concentration is higher than that of the Herrscher of Wind and Ice combined, did not cause more horrific casualties. ]
[If human civilization responds properly, then perhaps the damage caused by this collapse will be controlled within a range that everyone can accept. ]
[Perhaps, this will be a success that can be seen with the naked eye, and also a proof that humans can defeat the collapse. ]
[Almost all people who know the situation think so.]
[Kevin, who was the best fighter of the Fire Moth at the time, led the team to attack and kill the Herrscher together with Dante.]
The site of the sixth great collapse.
On the shattered land, the Fire Moths and the Honkai Purge Force united as one and used Honkai energy standard weapons to fight against the Honkai beasts that seemed to become more powerful with the passage of time. Rescue teams were interspersed in between to rescue the survivors.
Seeing that they were not up to the task, Dante joined in.
On the other side, Kevin was alone, holding a greatsword powered by Honkai energy, fighting against the newly born Herrscher of Death.
Compared to his previous battle against the Herrscher of Wind, Kevin's strength has improved significantly.
At the same time, the newly born Herrscher is not yet able to skillfully use his own authority, and is not very proficient in controlling Honkai energy.
Even so, the two sides still fought to a 60-40 score.
Although Kevin was able to suppress the Herrscher of Death and curb its growth to a large extent, the damage he inflicted on the Herrscher of Death would be recovered in the blink of an eye, let alone further causing effective kills.
Kevin could not resist the black fog representing death controlled by the Herrscher of Death, but he could also avoid it.
For a time, the situation on the battlefield was extremely tense.
Kevin dodged the creepy black mist that was attacking him, and slashed at the Herrscher of Death with his backhanded sword.
"laugh--"
The sound of the sword entering the flesh was heard, bright red blood flowers bloomed, and the sharp wail of the Herrscher of Death followed.
Kevin held his sword to block the black fog that was launched by the Herrscher of Death, but he lost the chance to pursue him.
It was as if time had reversed. The deep wound on the body of the Herrscher of Death, who quickly flew into the air and left Kevin's attack range, healed in an instant, in no more than two seconds.
Fighting such an enemy is bound to be discouraging.
However, Kevin did not feel any special emotions because of this. He tightened the sword in his hand and rushed forward again.
Just when the Herrscher of Death was a little careless because his wounds had healed in an instant, Kevin's figure suddenly accelerated, dragging out a phantom, seizing the opportunity to dance with the greatsword in his hand, and slashed at the Herrscher of Death with a tremendous force.
The sword blade easily cut a wound deep enough to see the bone, and almost split the Herrscher of Death in half diagonally.
Judging from the even more miserable wail emitted by the Ruler of Death, the damage caused to Him by this "unexpected" attack that had been prepared since the beginning of the battle was obviously much more serious than the previous minor fights.
"Bam—"
The Herrscher of Death, who had taken Kevin's full-strength sword attack, fell heavily to the ground with a whoosh sound, splashing a cloud of dust.
"Hu, hu." Kevin finally got a chance to catch his breath and jumped down from the air, but he did not let his guard down at all.
However, when the smoke and dust cleared, what appeared in front of Kevin was not the Herrscher who could destroy everything with a wave of his hand, but a little girl who seemed to have no intention of attacking.
She had a beautiful face, with sparkling tears in her ruby-like eyes. The aggrieved and frightened expression on her pretty face was really like a gun - a gun that could easily pierce the heart of a compassionate person.
Does the Herrscher also have human emotions?
Herrscher, can you ever turn back into a human?
After witnessing the Herrscher of Death transform into an innocent little girl in an instant, Kevin's sword had become dull.
He can fight and even kill the enemies of human civilization, the Herrschers, humanoid monsters wearing human skin;
But I really can't raise the butcher knife leading to hell against a human little girl who looks so pitiful.
He is still young, he is still young.
Perhaps due to his personality, Kevin did not immediately consider whether human civilization was qualified to "reform" a Herrscher, and whether it was able to bear the cost of failing to reform a Herrscher.
All he was thinking about was that if human civilization could influence the Herrscher and use it to fight the Honkai Impact, then would everyone, including him, be able to return to their previous lives?
Once an idea comes, it can't be stopped.
"Um, you..." Kevin called the girl cautiously, while tentatively taking two steps forward.
In return, the girl showed fear on her face and moved her delicate body backwards.
Seeing this, Kevin stopped in his tracks and scratched his head.
I think there should be no problem.
The previous Third Herrscher never uttered a single human word until the very end, let alone made such a humane move.
Thinking this way, Kevin, who believed that this decision was not his to make, tried to contact the Fire Moth's base - but did not notice the subtle change in the girl's temperament.
The next second, the girl's tenderness and fear turned into pride and madness in an instant.
He turned back into the Herrsler of Death again, raised the corner of his mouth with a fierce sneer, and swung his hand heavily with overwhelming hatred and murderous intent.
The black mist that had been secretly accumulating while Kevin was hesitating and delayed suddenly burst out with all its strength, blasting in all directions in a ripple shape.
The strongest of them came straight towards Kevin at lightning speed.
Oops! ! !
Everything happened so fast that Kevin, who realized something was wrong, didn't have time to take any protective action.
Feeling the black fog carrying the coldness of death approaching, a drop of cold sweat slid down his cheek and he slowly closed his eyes.
The wind suddenly rose.
The wind blew gently, blowing away the cold sweat.
Tick, tick—
The cold sweat splashed into the dust without making any sound.
Something warm fell on Kevin's face.
Kevin opened his eyes and it was Dante.
The man propped up his body and protected the young man tightly. A few faint rays of sunlight shone obliquely through his hollow chest, illuminating the young man's lifeless blue eyes.
A few drops of warm and bright red blood fell along with the light of the sky, revealing the cold and colorless death.
"Boy, this is really..." Dante seemed to want to say something, but he didn't finish his words and he was too weak to say anything more.
His body fell gently into Kevin's arms.
Kevin sniffed the bloody smell around him and finally understood what had just happened. His pupils shrank drastically.
He opened his mouth silently, but could only utter a few broken sounds.
Dante's body suddenly turned into light and dispersed. Kevin caught nothing and kept nothing.
Amid the increasingly frantic and sharp tinnitus, the sneer of the Ruler of Death was extremely clear and ironic.
【Kevin lost his consciousness.】
[When he regained consciousness, the once flamboyant Herrscher of Death had already turned into a pile of rotten meat.]
[The price of doing this was that he also lost an entire arm and suffered numerous major and minor injuries.]
-----------------
The subjugation of the Sixth Herrscher was completed, and the Sixth Great Collapse also ended with the death of the Sixth Herrscher.
The price paid by human civilization in this collapse was not as perfect as people had initially expected.
Due to the full force of the Herrscher of Death's accumulated power attack, several large cities with a population of one million around the site of the collapse were instantly destroyed, and the best warrior of the Fire Moth was also seriously injured while killing the Herrscher.
And the death of Dante...
That night, Game No Life Company.
After learning that Dante had died in battle, Lu Mian locked himself in a dim little room and sat there all night.
He stared at the broken cassette in his hand through the fluorescent light from the screen in front of him without saying a word.
This is the "Devil May Cry" cassette.
Dante, who was the link between the Devil May Cry world and the real world, died, and the Devil May Cry world collapsed.
Lu Mian quietly looked at the shattered "world" in his hands where Dante and Devil May Cry once existed, and his eyes gradually became blurred.
The scene in my memory has not faded and is still crystal clear.
Dante, feeling unexpectedly good-humored after strolling around, returned to his room.
But Lu Mian was sitting quietly on the sofa in the room, as if in meditation.
"Hey~, boss, why are you here?" Dante said as he sat down next to Lu Mian.
Hearing this, Lu Mian opened his eyes and smiled softly, saying softly:
"I'm here to ask you to do me a favor."
"What's the matter?" The frivolous smile on Dante's face disappeared, and he became calm and serious.
“I want to see what kind of brilliance will emerge when you, the shining people in the game, are combined with the shining people in real life.
"But in the end, I don't have the ambition to save the world, fight against Honkai and Herrscher, and this is not your obligation. I can't order you to die.
