As if responding to stress, it began to use its [power] recklessly.
Thus, a piece of the sky was dug out by it and turned into darkness. No matter whether it was the night sky or the twinkling stars, or the moonlight or the drifting clouds, everything began to lead to that "black sun".
The damage it had previously caused to Mu Continent now showed even more terrifying destructive power. The ground began to collapse, and the entire continent began to split along the cracks previously created by the [Herrser], like a soda cracker that was broken into pieces, gradually breaking away from the sea level, flying into the sky, and being pulled away by the "black sun".
High-rise buildings were dismembered, bridges broke in the sky, and the seawater that was originally going to flow back to fill the gap in the continent flew into the air uncontrollably. Even the Honkai beasts were ruthlessly dragged off the ground. The "black sun" devoured everything without scruples.
The people who were still alive on the continent were fleeing, but they could not escape at all. Even the land and ocean beneath their feet were held up and enjoyed by the "Black Sun". Where could such tiny humans like them escape to?
Did I...do something wrong?
Kevin was a little dazed for a moment.
He originally wanted to prevent the Sixth Herrscher's incident from happening again, but at the last minute, he still caused the Herrscher's survival because of his own reasons, and then... incurred the most horrific consequences.
What if he hadn't reduced his power? What if he had increased his power with more determination? Or what if he had waited a little longer? Would Wang have arrived and saved Hen?
If he had been more determined, or more patient, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
He wanted to make amends, he wanted to save the situation, but at this moment, the only thing he could do, the only thing he should do, was to [kill the Herrscher].
Only by killing the Herrscher can all this end.
Kevin raised the sword in his hand.
This time, he no longer hesitated, but just madly urged the sword in his hand, not caring even if the flames swallowed him.
[Skyfire——unsheathed! 】
The light of flame lit up, like the scorching sun at noon, as if it was going to burn the hypocritical and greedy "black sun" to ashes.
Hen and Xiwang, who were closest to the "Black Sun", were naturally the most horrified by the attraction. But even so, Xiwang still fled frantically with Hen's charred body.
But... it's too close, there's no way... to escape.
The water that was attracted would be swallowed up by the "Black Sun" in an instant. Even if one fled outward at the fastest speed, one's body would continue to approach the "Black Sun", and the land beneath one's body... had already collapsed beyond recognition.
This is the Herrisher.
But... I will survive.
Xiwang believed so.
I will return alive with the scar.
Xiwang firmly believed this.
But what came before my eyes was a light as bright as the sun.
The blazing flames seemed to condense into substance at this moment, transforming into a gigantic sword blade that stabbed at the all-devouring "Black Sun", vowing to destroy this hypocritical and greedy creation.
Even though the flames were distorted the moment they entered the range of the "Black Sun", they still attacked its core with determination.
But it is unknown how many things will be destroyed and how many people will be affected in the process.
Unfortunately, Xiwang and Hen were on that distorted trajectory.
The bright light of the flame illuminated Xi Wang's face, and the surroundings became extremely dry in an instant. No water could be attracted, as it was either swallowed by the "black sun" or evaporated by the high temperature. The things he relied on were no longer able to function at this moment.
The raging flames were about to engulf them, and the "black sun" behind them was trying to tear them apart.
Xi Wang immediately wanted to push Hen away, at least to prevent him from being hit directly by the flames.
As for myself…I will survive, absolutely.
It’s just that... Hen’s actions were a little bit earlier than his.
Xi Wang's line of sight twisted to the side, and his whole body deviated from the center of the flames.
Time seemed to stretch at this moment.
When I turned my head to look, I could only see Hen's charred body.
He was still smiling and even had time to give himself a thumbs-up.
He wanted to say something, but his voice could not be heard. The "black sun" was so greedy that it even captured his voice.
Finally, the flames devoured his body, along with half of Xi Wang's body, and turned them into ashes.
The tearing that originally belonged to the "Black Sun" was also interrupted after a moment.
When the core [Ninth Herrscher] died, the created "Black Sun" lost its foundation and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
But what followed was piece after piece of land falling from the sky.
Bang!
A piece of land debris hit Xiwang, and he continued to fall with only half of his body left.
pat- pat-
All kinds of broken debris and broken land continued to fall into the sea below, or sank and floated twice, and then were smashed into the seabed by other objects above, or sank directly into the water and disappeared without a trace.
But it doesn’t matter. The sea is inclusive and will accept even wreckage and ruins.
Humanity's scientific research bases, human industrial centers, and even the most critical [Eye of the Abyss] were all accepted by the ocean at this moment, even though they had long been broken into pieces.
The entire Mu Continent... shattered, and turned into pieces that sank to the bottom of the sea, leaving only a few debris floating on the sea and a few survivors.
However, even the cries for help from the sea soon disappeared.
The land disappeared, and this place has become the territory of the [Ocean]. The Honkai beasts that originally hid in the sea and could not approach the coastal areas have started a carnival and killed all the survivors.
The glow of the flames faded, leaving only the tranquility and coldness of the night.
Kevin walked quickly on the ice, freezing the sea surface again and again, turning the Honkai beasts that wanted to attack him into ice sculptures.
The slightly burned hand still held the flaming sword. Even though the burn was very minor, the self-healing ability of the fusion warrior made the scar fade away quickly. But at this moment, he seemed to have lost his strength and could only drag the flaming sword forward.
He looked around and listened carefully, trying to find even the slightest sign of survivors, trying to sense even a hint of familiar scent.
But the only responses he got were the cold night wind and the sound of the Honkai beast breaking through the ice.
Until the early morning sun came to him, Kevin was still standing alone on the ice.
"........."
He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
[The Ninth Great Collapse/The Ninth Herrscher Crusade]——Ended, humanity won at an unprecedentedly tragic price.
Chapter 39 You're still here, right?
Gulu gulu——
It is the sound of bubbles floating up from the water.
Xi Wang stared blankly at everything in front of him. Under the obstruction of the sea water, the whole world seemed to be covered with a unique filter, and the sea surface seemed to divide the world into two parts.
Above the sea surface, there is a constant flow of falling wreckage, ruins and fragments of continental debris.
Beneath the sea surface, countless debris fell quietly to the bottom of the sea. There was no sound, only a few bubbles emerging, indicating that another thing was accepted by the ocean.
Xi Wang was still awake. Even though he had lost half of his body, his consciousness was still there, but... his thoughts were stuck at that moment just now.
The moment when Hen pushed himself away and his body turned into ashes.
He did not resent Kevin, because it was the consensus of all fusion warriors that the [Lawyer] must be killed, and he also said that if there were special circumstances, the [Heavenly Fire Judgment] could be activated according to the plan.
He just wanted to fulfill his promise and save Hen when he was in danger, just to prevent Gray Xiu from losing his loved ones again.
but now……
"........."
With the help of the firelight shining down from the sea, Xi Wang watched piece after piece of wreckage fall into the sea in silence.
Would it be better if Kevin didn't delay his attack? Would it be better if he didn't mention this to Hen? After all, judging by the situation, the effect of his "abnormal blood" was very impressive.
In that case, maybe Hen could be lucky enough to survive?
In that case, the Herrscher would not have the chance to raise that "Black Sun" in the end, right?
If...if...if I could arrive earlier, would things have been perfect?
But it's no use saying all this now.
The situation is so bad... already, there is no way to change it.
Let's not make it worse.
Xi Wang struggled, moved his only arm, manipulated the sea water to push himself away from the bottom of the earth's fragments, and swam hard and quickly towards the sea surface.
At least, we can't let the Fire Moth sacrifice another fusion warrior.
At least, we can't let Alicia and Sakura be sad.
At least, I have to go see Grayxiu on Hen's behalf.
You have to live, for sure.
Gollum—
There were waves of swimming sounds coming from all around, and Xi Wang instantly became alert. He knew that there were many Honkai beasts hiding in the sea. After the [land] was lost and this area belonged to the [ocean], countless Honkai beasts would flock in.
Xi Wang was ready to fight to the death, even though he was now half-crippled, and even though the [Gabriel] gene in his body had become extremely active due to the abundant sea water, this was still his home ground.
coming.
The moment the herd of Honkai beasts approached, Xi Wang sensed that "school of fish" that was like a swarm of locusts... no, their number was even greater than that of locusts.
They crowded together, also manipulating the sea water, bringing with them countless companions and Honkai energy, and quickly submerged him.
But the strange thing is that when Xi Wang attacked them, they did not fight back. Even when they passed by Xi Wang, they would bypass him on their own, as if he, the "enemy", did not exist at all.
At this moment, a deep blue color different from the sea water came into his eyes.
Although it is also a liquid, it is so conspicuous in the sea water and shows its existence so clearly.
Xiwang knew that it was his own "blood".
Xi Wang understood that he had mutated due to the overactive [Gabriel] gene, and he... had been regarded as a [kindred member] by those Honkai beasts.
boom! !
A huge and dull sound came from above, and another piece of continental debris fell, covering all the light above Xiwang and slowly pressing towards Xiwang.
"........."
Xi Wang swung his arms blankly, manipulating the sea water with difficulty to escape from under the fragment of the continent... His perception of his own body was becoming weaker and weaker.
Got to go up... Got to go back up there...
Xi Wang persisted, but the sea that was obviously so close at hand seemed so far away at this moment. He was obviously swimming hard towards the surface and trying to move forward, but it seemed as if something in the sea bound him, slowly pulling him towards the deep sea, bit by bit.
Boom!
With a crisp and neat sound, a piece of debris fell straight down, just above Xi Wang, knocking Xi Wang down again and crushing his last bit of strength.
Gulu gulu——
Tiny bubbles gradually floated out from the gap of the mouth and gradually floated upwards. Only after crossing a long distance, they could show their figures on the sea surface... But now, the sea surface has been covered by ice. They can only stay there silently, and finally be taken out by the Honkai beast that broke through the ice, and finally frozen in the ice sculpture.
The fire on the sea surface became dimmer and dimmer, and what he could see became less and less, and the darkness in the sea gradually occupied his sight.
Finally, only the early morning sunlight refracted a faint glow through the sea surface, but... this faint light soon disappeared.
I couldn't see anything, I couldn't grasp anything, all I could see was darkness, and all around me was the sea water, which gently seemed to be embracing me, like a mother's embrace, and the gentle movements carried an irresistible meaning.
The gentle sea water loves every child.
The loving sea embraces every child.
Facing the child who had returned from afar, facing the child who had endured countless dryness on land, facing the child who had been ravaged by fire, it hugged him in its arms with heartache.
Don’t be afraid, this is your “home”.
Xi Wang had already lost the ability to control water at this moment, and his perception of his body also became blurred.
No...No...I have to go back...
He forced his eyelids up to maintain his sight, and thought hard to maintain his consciousness.
To survive...
