Alicia, standing to the side, looked at Klein and said with a grin.

Alicia had secretly witnessed how Mebius had thrown a tantrum in his office over funding against the former commander of the Firemoth.

No, how can you say you were peeping at a pretty girl? It must have been something she saw by accident while passing by!

"That's good."

Klein visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew Möbius wasn't angry, but as the saying goes, concern can cloud judgment.

"How wonderful, such a sweet friendship between girls..."

Seeing Klein quickly follow Möbius after thanking her, Alicia couldn't help but sigh.

With this layer of insurance in place, Huang Quan felt somewhat relieved.

At least, the tragedies that would have occurred in the original novel, Part 2, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, will no longer happen.

"Hey, the timing is perfect."

Looking at the message on her phone, Alicia smiled, but unconsciously became a little serious.

"A mission?"

Huang Quan looked at the other person and asked.

She knew Alicia well. Although Alicia always greeted everything with a smile, she would still show a serious expression when faced with a disaster like the Honkai Collapse.

"Yes, another Honkai outbreak has occurred. Unfortunately, Kevin is already on a mission, so this task has been handed over to us."

Alicia shrugged.

"I understand, let's go."

Huang Quan nodded without saying anything more.

Nowadays, if there are missions within the Fire Moth, Kevin and Alicia's teams will be dispatched first. After all, those who are capable should be given more tasks, and the members of these two teams are relatively strong in combat, so the probability of losses is relatively small.

Although they were a bit tired, the members of both teams didn't have any complaints. After all, this was a matter of life and death, and the more they did, the less danger others would be in.

This is what is meant by "the capable should do more".

The area where the collapse occurred this time was not far from the base of the Firemoth.

An hour later, Huang Quan and Alicia landed here.

This time, the collapse occurred in a small county town.

At this time, half of the small county town had fallen and become a dead zone, while the remaining people had been properly resettled.

The Fire Moths were very fast. After the collapse, the survivors quickly entered the safe zone, and the outbreak area was cleared, waiting for the Fire Moths to come and deal with it.

At this point, the area had been cleared and sealed off, and it was up to Huang Quan and Alicia to finish their work.

They need to clear out all the zombies and Honkai Beasts in this area.

Because the scope of this Honkai outbreak was not large and the outbreak was relatively concentrated, the number of zombies and Honkai beasts spawned this time was not large.

There are probably close to ten thousand of them.

It looks like a lot, but it's actually quite simple to clean.

After all, Huang Quan's slash was like harvesting wheat, felling a whole field.

In just half a day, Alicia and Yomi, together with the other units of the Fire Moth, wiped out all the assassins and Honkai Beasts here.

In fact, not even an Emperor-level Honkai Beast was born during this Honkai event.

However, for Huang Quan, whether it's similar to Yue or not, it's all the same. For an emperor-level assassin, it's one strike, and for an ordinary assassin, it's also one strike.

Suicide Squad: Am I equivalent to an Emperor-level Honkai Beast? Really?

However, after the event, Alicia received a phone call and asked Yomi to wait a while.

A short while later, Alicia returned carrying a bag.

“Mei, Mei just told me that among the zombies we cleared out, there were actually Herrschers. However, the Herrscher’s form of existence is very special. She split her core into a thousand parts, and there are a thousand Herrschers.”

"?"

Hearing Alicia's words, Huang Quan tilted his head in confusion.

"There was a Herrscher just now? I didn't know that. I thought they were all assassins. Go tell my longsword..."

For some reason, in the ruins of this city, a deserted shop started playing music again after the circuit was reconnected.

"Life, can you please spare me this once?"

Huang Quan (Pre-Honkai Civilization): 22: Herrscher of Humanity, Alicia

"So... you're just going to bring up the Herrscher Core like that?"

Huang Quan looked at the black plastic bag in Alicia's hand, and his expression seemed rather strange.

After all, this plastic bag is so common, just like the black plastic garbage bags we usually use at home.

"We left in a hurry before and didn't notice the Herrscher cores that fell from the bodies of those assassins. Later, I found a bunch of small cores that looked like glass marbles on the ground. There were so many that I couldn't carry them all, so I just found a bag."

Alicia looked at Huang Quan with an innocent expression and shrugged.

This indicates that due to limited resources, this is all they can do.

As she spoke, Alicia placed the bag in front of Yomi.

Out of curiosity, Huang Quan scanned the inside of the bag, which contained cores the size of glass marbles, totaling a thousand.

To be honest, the Herrschers that appeared this time were far too weak, so weak that even Huang Quan didn't realize that these assassins were actually Herrschers.

However, it's not entirely Huang Quan's or Alicia's fault for being careless. After all, what kind of Herrscher gets kicked to death on the roadside like a stray dog?

While the previous Herrschers weren't particularly strong, at least after the Herrscher of Flame, they could force Yomi to draw her sword and strike. But this time, the thousand Herrschers that appeared were like a truck running over a speed bump, without stopping at all.

In fact, these thousand Herrschers were no different from ordinary assassins.

It was supposed to be like the end of the world before, but now it's turned out like this?

There's always a feeling that Huang Quan is about to collapse and give up.

Of course, she knew it was impossible.

When Alicia and Huang Quan returned to the base with a bag of "glass beads", they ran into Kevin's team, who were returning from a mission.

However, like Huang Quan, Kevin and the others also had strange expressions.

"What's wrong, Kevin? You seem puzzled about something too?"

　@月&漪^First*Release~ Looking at Kevin, whose expression seemed a bit off, Huang Quan couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Well, we thought this mission would be a routine one, but we didn't expect... we encountered a Herrscher."

Kevin's expression was strained as he spoke.

"You guys encountered it too?"

Alicia, who was standing to the side, said in surprise.

"also?"

Kevin was taken aback by Alicia's words: "Could it be..."

"Alright, alright, Kevin, judging from your appearance, the Herrscher you encountered must have been quite weak, right?"

Alicia's face showed no worry, but rather a look of joy.

"That's right, very...weak."

Kevin also lost his composure while speaking.

Compared to the Herrschers Kevin had encountered before, the Herrscher he faced this time was far too weak.

Then, Kevin told the two about the Herrscher they had encountered.

"Originally, when we were carrying out a mission, we encountered a person. At the time, we saw that the person was still conscious, so we thought about rescuing him. Then the person said that he was actually the Herrscher of Corruption."

We were quite startled at the time; we never expected a Herrscher to appear in a place like this. We were all prepared to sacrifice ourselves, but... that Herrscher seemed to have no power to resist at all, and I easily killed him... For a moment, I thought my strength had greatly increased after obtaining the Cataclysm, but since I was comparing myself to Yomi before, it wasn't obvious... But then I thought about it again, and the opponent was indeed really weak...

The other party claimed to be the Herrscher of Corruption, with the power of an insidious virus. However, when they attempted to infiltrate and manipulate our devices... they were blocked by the system's own firewall.

?

Huang Quan tilted his head, and a big question mark appeared on his forehead.

No, the Herrscher of Corruption was blocked by the device's built-in firewall? What kind of joke is this?

"And what about that Herrscher?"

"It was detected and removed by the system's built-in antivirus software..."

Kevin himself found it hard to believe when he said it.

Could it be that human civilization has increased a thousandfold overnight, but we just don't know it?

Otherwise, how can we understand how the Herrscher, who was once a great enemy of human civilization, has become so weak now?

If the Herrschers are this weak, they might as well not exterminate humanity and just turn them into a zoo and use them as mascots.

Inside the conference room, Dr. Mei stared blankly at the Corruption Core in Kevin's hand and the small glass bead of the Thousand Herrscher.

Is this still Honkai Impact 3rd? How come it's gotten so bad after just a few days?

"I need to calm down. I've never encountered anything like this before, and I don't know what to do..."

Looking at everyone's eyes, Mei shook her head, unsure of what to say.

The intensity of the Honkai outbreak globally was hundreds or thousands of times weaker than before, but Mei was not happy at all.

After all, this doesn't make sense. The situation drastically changed from an extremely devastating level to one that had little impact on human civilization. Who knows what kind of major upheaval might follow...

However, at present, Mei has no clue what to do and can only let the returning people go back to rest.

"Mei... what do you think?"

On her way back to her room, Alicia seemed to be thinking about something, and asked without turning her head as she walked.

"See with your eyes."
