"Now, your mission is complete, human."
The Herrscher of the Void spoke in a distant and indifferent voice. Alicia stared blankly at the other's gradually dissipating body, her expression remaining indifferent throughout, along with a faint sense of disdain for her.
But that self-loathing seemed insignificant at this moment. What truly pierced Alicia's heart was that look of utter despair in her eyes.
A hush fell over the rooftop as the Herrscher of the Void calmly watched her body gradually dissipate.
In fact, she had always known that, under the power of the gods, the higher-ups of this world had been integrated, except for Europe, which seemed to exist only to vent her anger.
And she did indeed succeed. All those conversations that the high-ranking officials thought were secret were seen by the Queen of the Sky. After countless reshuffles, under fear and judgment, the European high-ranking officials finally began to take shape.
In that case, there's nothing left for her to do in this world.
She only wanted to leave this despised place with no attachment as soon as possible and return to the embrace of the gods.
As her form gradually dissipated, the Queen of the Sky's consciousness left her body. Feeling the familiar, warm door, a genuine smile finally appeared on her face as she entered another world.
After a while, Hen and the others saw that the strange phenomenon on the high-rise building had disappeared, so they rushed up together. Then they saw Alicia standing alone on the rooftop, looking dazed, and the Herrscher core at her feet.
"Boss, you... defeated that Herrscher?" Hen asked uncertainly, looking at the Herrscher core on the ground.
Alicia's gaze was somewhat dazed, as if she was still caught up in the scene just now.
She opened her mouth but found that she couldn't say anything. Even the fairy lady's ever-lively demeanor disappeared, and her radiance dimmed. She silently picked up the Herrscher Core from the ground, her gaze unfocused as she stared at the 'heart' that still seemed to have some warmth left.
This has left a deep crack in her long-held beliefs.
Suddenly, a message came through the communicator from the Moth of Fire.
"Emergency situation: A collapse disaster has occurred in Changkong City, affecting a total of four surrounding cities. The level of damage is severe. All teams are ready for combat and are rushing to Changkong City to provide support."
In Alicia's communications, there was also a message from Mebius that rarely showed such urgency.
"The situation is a bit unexpected, Little Mouse, quickly bring your team back."
Chapter 139 End-of-Day Honkai Beast
Swift as a streak of light, Hua's figure sped towards Changkong City.
All the Honkai Beasts along the way were instantly annihilated; the Chariot-class, Temple-class, and Emperor-class were all pierced through by a single punch.
This is the result of ten years of training in the Qi family and continuous self-improvement, leading to the powerful combat strength of the current immortal.
They swept forward swiftly and efficiently, and the deeper they went into the city center, the clearer the oppressive atmosphere became. After leaping over several dilapidated buildings, they finally saw the creature that seemed to be the culprit.
No, to be precise, I saw a part of that creature.
It was a creature of unimaginable size, stretching for tens of kilometers, its mountain-like form slowly coming into view.
Like a worm crawling on the earth to suck nutrients, it has the combined features of various amputees. Its six pairs of compound eyes shine with a scarlet light. Its body is bloated and covered with twisted, growing, rock-like gray-brown decaying matter. Behind it are ferocious claws and wings like demons.
The monster's mere presence seemed to freeze the surrounding air, casting an oppressive shadow that heightened the senses of pressure.
The giant Honkai Beast remained still, its thick carapace seemingly alive, with rings of purple Honkai energy pulsating and channeling energy into its body. The monster's size continued to grow, and its body became even more solid.
"This is a special Honkai Beast creation, belonging to the Judgment level. However, theoretically, it should have a separate classification and title: the End-of-Day Honkai Beast, which is a creation of the Honkai to completely destroy civilization and bring about its end."
Qi Shi stared intently at the incompletely formed, end-of-life Honkai Beast.
This is not an enemy that Hua can handle; in fact, he should take action immediately instead of explaining things here.
But looking at Hua, who was so angry that he seemed to have nothing else to do but deal with the immediate situation and wouldn't listen to any advice.
Knowing that this might be the last time they would be together, Qi Shi did not take over the body. Instead, his voice was softer than ever before, like a patient teacher tirelessly and meticulously instructing the other person on how to handle all the troubles they encountered.
Regardless of the species, seeing the city center become a breeding ground for these monsters, Hua gritted his teeth in anger and charged forward fearlessly.
All she wanted to do at that moment was fight and drive all the Honkai Beasts away!
Upon seeing the enemy approaching, the Honkai creatures guarding the End-of-Day Honkai Beast immediately charged forward like a black and white sea of clouds, fearless and utterly lacking in morale. They had no reason; they only knew how to silently and quietly carry out orders.
At the top of the dark, overwhelming torrent of collapsing creations, Fu Hua's tiny figure collided with it, yet an unimaginable contrast erupted.
The body of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast was shattered in an instant, and the shield of the Temple-class Honkai Beast was pierced through as if it were made of paper. In a flash, his figure pierced through the army of Honkai creations like a spear of light.
The fierce wind pressure instantly overturned and tore apart countless Honkai Beasts around her. Hua's figure was unimpeded, and all the Honkai Beasts in front of her were eliminated before they could react. It was so effortless that she didn't even slow down her speed. She rushed to the front of the enemy. There was only one kind of light in Hua's eyes.
A punch, imbued with rage and all its might, slammed into the side of the Honkai Beast's body. The Honkai rock, harder than steel, collapsed and pierced through, producing a deafening roar. Countless cracks spread for hundreds of meters. The next moment, the fist's force exploded, and the carapace shattered in a white light. The surging and fierce power suddenly acted on the monster's body, shattering and crushing its internal flesh.
However, this punch, a powerful blow that could probably obliterate half of a Judgment-level Honkai Beast's body, left only a tiny wound on the End-of-Day Honkai Beast, which seemed insignificant compared to its mountain-like size. Even the burst of internal energy seemed to have no effect.
As the aftershocks of the wind pressure spread, the heavy figure did not even flinch. In fact, its carapace was rapidly repairing itself, and it would probably be back to its original state in no more than two minutes.
Hua's expression hardened slightly, and she leaped backward using the recoil. This was the first time she had encountered an enemy whose attacks were ineffective; that was already her strongest, all-out strike.
A piercing shriek rang out. The Honkai Beast, which had been developing and growing properly, was suddenly awakened by the knocking of hydrogen. It reacted and let out a berserk shriek. Like a child weighing tens of millions of tons, it raised a section of its body and slammed it down on Fu Hua.
Its body was not fully developed; its huge and heavy body seemed unable to stand up, and it could only crawl on the ground with its limbs.
Even so, its enormous size of over ten kilometers means that even a simple turn could have disastrous consequences.
The earth shook violently, and a shockwave erupted from the point of impact, destroying and engulfing all buildings, streets, and trees.
Hua dodged the violent shockwave and assumed an attack stance again, but her brows furrowed as she struggled to find a way to strike, a result that made her increasingly agitated.
"Don't be impatient."
"Like Judgment-class Honkai Beasts, the End-of-Day Class has a core structure inside its body. Only by destroying all the cores can it be destroyed. However, to get through that thick body, other methods are needed."
"Relax your mind and follow my guidance."
Qi Shi's voice came, explaining the enemy's information and weaknesses, while guiding and teaching the power within Hua's body.
Calm and meticulous guidance, a resonance of souls, and a shared understanding guiding one's mind amidst rage—normally, Hua would have noticed the abnormality in Qi Shi, but at this moment, all she could see was the rage to fight against the collapse.
Following that guidance, Hua brought his hands together, and energy gathered between his arms.
Suddenly opened his eyes.
With a sharp shout, the accumulated power exploded, resembling the nascent form of the Void Sword Qi. The spiraling, surging energy slammed into the End-of-Dharma Honkai Beast, destroying its thick shell and flesh as if they were nothing, and finally piercing through it completely.
The end-of-life Honkai Beast let out a painful scream for the first time, and attacked Hua with even greater frenzy.
Chapter 140 The Blazing Sun
The battle between the end-of-life Honkai Beast and Hua was constantly raging and changing rapidly.
The Honkai energy emanating from his body generated beams of laser light and shockwaves covering a wide area, constantly bombarding the battlefield and causing explosions and intense flames.
With its life threatened, the End-of-Day Honkai Beast no longer focused on absorbing power, but instead devoted itself entirely to the battle against Hua, displaying a ferocity completely inconsistent with its bulky size. Each attack from its demonic claw-like wings was incredibly fierce, putting Hua in grave danger several times.
Although she kept looking for opportunities to attack, leaving many penetrating wounds on the broken monster, it looked quite disheveled.
However, Hua gradually showed signs of fatigue.
Although she could damage the Honkai monster in front of her, she couldn't truly destroy it. The Honkai monster still had many cores inside its body, and it could slowly regenerate.
In such a battle, trying to outlast a Honkai Beast in terms of endurance is almost impossible to win.
After launching another attack, Hua was breathing rapidly and was clearly showing signs of exhaustion.
The end-stage Honkai Beast is actually no stronger than Fu Hua. If she wanted to leave, she wouldn't be able to catch up with it at all. Although it is still a bit immature, with Fu Hua's current combat power, even Benares, created by the six cores, would have its head blasted into the ground by her electric cannon and then rubbed into the ground.
However, facing a monster whose body stretches for tens of kilometers, with armor and flesh that are kilometers thick, almost any attack is difficult to cause any real damage. This is the most troublesome aspect of the end-of-life Honkai Beast. Even with superior combat power, it is difficult to eliminate it and can only be dragged into a stalemate of attrition.
Hua is ultimately just a fifteen-year-old girl, not a future immortal. Neither her temperament nor her skills have reached maturity yet.
"Don't be discouraged, you've done a great job. Leave the rest to me."
Seeing that the other party was exhausted, Qi Shi spoke softly to comfort him, gently taking control of his body.
Hua felt as if she had been embraced by a warm and comfortable embrace. Even with enemies in front of her, the gentleness made her feel incredibly safe, and her tired consciousness gradually began to sink into the depths.
He was not resentful because Qi Shi had helped him, as Qi Shi was his closest relative. He was only somewhat self-motivated because of his own lack of strength.
However, the Honkai Beast of the End-of-Days level is not an enemy that judges by the atmosphere. Seeing that the hostile little man suddenly stopped moving, it swung its giant claws and smashed down, causing the air pressure to shatter. The power of the blow was more than ten million jin.
However, with a loud bang, the island-like giant claw suddenly stopped in mid-air, forcibly blocked by a fair hand, and instantly could not advance an inch further. It was as if it only existed in the imagination, and the difference in size was extremely visually striking.
Beneath that ferocious giant claw emerged Hua, whose body was wreathed in flames, and a pair of golden eyes that shone with a different kind of brilliance.
"Now, it's time to get rid of you."
As soon as Qi Shi finished speaking, the roar of the surging flames was even louder than the previous attack. A torrent of flames surged from the point of contact, and in an instant, the giant claw, which stretched for more than ten miles, was completely burned to ashes.
The End-of-Day Honkai Beast let out an extremely painful wail, and all that remained of its wings was a writhing, disgusting bud of flesh.
However, the roars of Honkai Beasts are often not due to fear, but rather because their ferocity has been aroused. With a harsh cry, the monster opens its blood-red maw, and Honkai energy rapidly gathers.
However, before it could make a move, Qi Shi arrived in the sky, his body engulfed in flames that transformed into blazing wings that unfurled behind him.
It wasn't a man-made collapse; Hua wasn't even a fusion warrior at that time.
This flame controls molecular-level flame kinetic energy, representing the destructive power of the Herrscher of Flame.
The moment the arm was raised, the entire sky was ignited, burning the heavens and boiling the seas. The golden flames that filled the sky emitted an incomparably terrifying aura, and rings of golden flames suppressed the monsters and behemoths on the ground, just like a scene from a legend of gods subduing a calamity beast.
At the same time, countless raindrops of light fell from the sky, like sweet dew bestowed by the gods upon the suffering people, pulling those on the verge of death back to reality. This was the authority of the Lawgiver of Death.
In Changkong City, Canghai City, and the surrounding affected cities, all those injured in the disaster and suffering from the painful effects of Honkai energy felt their bodies being nourished by sweet dew, their bodies regaining vitality and recovering rapidly.
Many people stood up one after another, looking incredulously at their palms and the monsters that had been wiped out in an instant. The energy that had been a warm source of life for them was like the death knell for the monsters, which were instantly rendered powerless and decayed into ashes the moment they touched it.
After doing all this, Qi Shi looked at the Honkai Beast of the End-of-Day level on the ground, which was being crushed by the raging flames and was struggling and screaming but unable to move. He pressed his palm down, holding its life and death in his hands.
"Let it perish."
Golden energy, spanning tens of kilometers, fell from the sky, condensing into the shape of a sword. Golden suns expanded and exploded, piercing the earth. The blazing flames prevented the end-of-life Honkai Beast from even letting out its final roar. Its massive body was completely annihilated by this attack, leaving only the dazzling burst of white light and fire in sight.
The unimaginable explosion silenced the world, leaving only the ringing in our ears.
"Hang in there, Sue, we'll get out of here." Kevin gritted his teeth and supported his friend's shoulder. His friend was covered in wounds, big and small, and looked incredibly disheveled.
Su's condition was even more serious. As he fled, the other man was hit by falling debris, suffering multiple fractures. Blood was still seeping from his tattered clothes, and he was gritting his teeth and persevering as he moved. Cold sweat could be seen on his forehead due to the excruciating pain.
"Kevin, you'll be in danger if you drag me along. You should leave on your own," Su said with difficulty, hoping that the other party would abandon him as a burden and escape on his own.
"Don't talk nonsense! I will never abandon you. If we're going to escape, we'll escape together."
However, how could Kevin abandon his best friend? Gritting his teeth, he lifted the other's shoulder and once again exerted force to escape towards the suburbs.
However, things didn't go as planned. A loud crash echoed as the building collapsed, raising clouds of dust. A Temple-level Honkai Beast appeared just as it broke through the building. Its crimson eyes immediately locked onto the two fleeing individuals, and its sharp, massive spear pierced down mercilessly in an instant.
This was probably the most glorious moment in the life of this Temple-level Honkai Beast, punching and kicking, single-handedly defeating two Fire Chaser Heroes.
