[The Fifth Honkai Outbreak]
Chapter 44 The Herrscher of Ice from the Pre-Civilization
On the frozen ground of the ice field, the warriors of the Fire Moth held guns and aimed them at the girl curled up on the ground. Her originally fair and flawless skin lost its original color as if covered by a veil, becoming as dark as the night. The moisture in the air quickly condensed around her, and the ice layer covered with fine patterns slowly spread outward.
"This is... a Herrscher!"
"Be careful, everyone. She has the power to control frost."
"Shoot her now!"
The warriors and knights of the Fire Moth looked at Alina as if she were a monster, filled with negative emotions such as fear, anger, and disgust.
At this moment, powerful Honkai energy gathered on the ice field, forming one huge Honkai beast after another that stood in front of Alina. They fought against the Fire Moth and the members of the Order of the Church, just like knights who wanted to protect their master.
Seeing that the Firemoth and the knights wanted to kill Alina, Aponia immediately stepped forward to stop them.
"Please wait a moment, Miss Alina is innocent!"
Essex reached out and grabbed Aponia, pulling her back.
"Miss Aponia, what are you doing? Are you crazy? If you go up there now, you'll be shot by the Order of the Church and the Moths!"
"Even if it means risking my life, I cannot stand by and watch them kill innocent people."
Aponia tried to break free from Essex's grasp, but Essex held on even tighter.
"Miss Aponia, wake up! That silver-haired girl is a monster. You saw how easily she could control the frost. She is our enemy!"
“No, no!” Aponia shook her head vigorously: “Although she has changed her appearance and gained superhuman strength, I believe she is still the kind Alina she used to be.”
Aponia had spent some time with Alina and knew that she would never harm the innocent, but Essex didn't think so. In his eyes, Alina was a complete monster, and Aponia thought it was nonsense that monsters wouldn't harm humans.
"Aponia, I don't have time to argue with you. Come with me now, I'll protect you!"
Essex pulled Aponia away from the battlefield where the Herrschers and Honkai Beasts were located. In his opinion, Belial and his army would definitely deal with the Herrschers and Honkai Beasts. The most urgent thing was to keep Aponia from meddling in other people's business.
If Aponia clashes with Belial, Essex won't be able to protect her. After all, he has an army group under his command. It would be suicide for him to fight an entire army by himself.
After Jojo and Sakura stopped fighting with Thousand Calamity, they ran towards the direction of the Honkai energy eruption and happened to run into Essex, who was escaping with Aponia.
As soon as Aponia saw Jojo appear, she forcefully shook off Essex's hand. She knew that Essex would never help her rescue Alina from Belial's clutches, and Jojo was now her only hope.
She walked up to Jojo and said, "Jojo, Alina's body suddenly erupted with a terrifying power, and now Belial and the others want to kill her."
Pado, who had escaped from the battlefield, also saw Qiaoqiao. She looked at him as if he were her savior, and her expression was so tense that she was about to cry.
"Boss Qiao, please save Sister Lina!"
"Rest assured, I will never let Belial lay a finger on Alina."
Jojo touched Pado's head and ran towards Alina's battlefield without hesitation. No matter how many soldiers Belial's army there were, he would not allow them to harm Alina.
Sakura and Aponia immediately followed Jojo's footsteps.
The cat, who had finally escaped, was terrified to see the three of them abandon her and return to the battlefield.
"Wait for me, don't leave me alone!"
Pado eventually caught up with them.
Essex stayed where he was, watching Aponia return to the battlefield with Jojo. He angrily punched the tree next to him. He didn't want Aponia to be threatened in any way, after all, she was the person he loved.
But... he finally climbed to his current position, and if he were to fight against the Flame Chaser, the Order of the Church, and the Mithril Knights for the sake of a Herrscher, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to ruining his future.
Essex stood there watching Aponia and Jojo head to the battlefield. His previously conflicted mind made a decision: I'm not like Jojo. Even if he offends Belial, he still has his family backing him up. If I offend Belial, I'm completely finished.
He was just a Lawyer; his death was not a pity.
Don't worry, Aponia. After that Herrscher and Jojo die, I will definitely plead for you and protect you.
I will make you understand that, compared to that spoiled brat Qiao Qiao, I am the most suitable person for you.
There is good news for the human side: Alina is currently in a dazed state, the Honkai Beasts without a Herrscher commander are completely devoid of tactical thinking, and Alina herself is lying expressionlessly on the spot.
Now is the perfect time to kill the Herrscher of Ice. The warriors of the Fire Moth tore a hole in the encirclement of Honkai Beasts, and Belial seized the opportunity to grab Alina's hair, draw his sword from his waist, and try to take her head.
"No...don't kill me..." Sensing the threat of death, Alina struggled and cried out, "I'm not a monster."
But Belial's eyes were filled with jealousy as he looked at Alina: "Alina... Alina... don't blame me. If you hadn't chosen Jojo, none of this would have happened!"
Upon hearing Paddo's request, Jojo turned to look at Belial, who had drawn a sharp blade and was pointing it at Alina not far away. His face immediately darkened, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Alina was the real Herrscher of Ice he had finally found; how could he let her die at the hands of someone like Belial?!
Jojo gripped the Seven Thunders of Purification and charged forward like a bolt of lightning, pressing the blade against Belial's neck.
Feeling the icy chill of the blade against his neck, Belial's face showed surprise, and he stopped killing Alina. But then he was overjoyed: "Jojo, you idiot, do you know what you're doing? You're protecting a Herrscher, protecting an enemy of humanity. If this gets out, not only will you die, but your whole family will be wiped out too."
Without a second thought, you drew your sword to protect Alina from mortal danger, and now Belial is threatening you with the safety of your entire family. What will your answer be...?
[Option 1: Sheath the blade and apologize, "I'm sorry, I am definitely not a Herrscher's ally."]
Option 2: Keep the blade against Belial's neck and threaten, "Alina is my woman. If you dare lay a finger on her, I'll kill you!"
Rationally speaking, surrounded by the Flame Chaser, the Mithril Knights, and the Order of the Church, JoJo's open admission of protecting the Herrscher was undoubtedly courting death.
But no matter what, Jojo just couldn't swallow the anger of watching Alina being killed.
If you die, you will die.
It's just an emulator anyway, I can just restart it if necessary!
Jojo pressed the blade against Belial's neck, her eyes flashing with a cold light: "Alina is my woman. If you dare to lay a finger on her, I'll kill you!"
Upon hearing Jojo's words, tears welled up in Alina's eyes, turning into ice cubes that fell to the ground. She never expected that even after she transformed into a monster, Jojo would still stand in front of her as always.
Upon hearing Jojo's threat, Belial remained completely unfazed, his smile growing even more smug.
Previously, Qiao Qiao had attracted countless girls to be infatuated with his handsome face. Later, he even tried to steal Alina from her, directly overtaking her and ruining her plans.
But... he wouldn't give Qiao Qiao something he couldn't have, even if it meant destroying it.
Ignoring the chilling glint behind him, Belial thrust his sword at Alina, completely disregarding Jojo's threat.
Now, he is surrounded by the Fire Moth, the Order of the Church, and the Mithril Knights. If they really kill him, he won't be able to escape either.
Belial simply did not believe that Jojo, this spoiled brat, would have the courage to sacrifice his life for a woman.
Belial ignored your warnings and is preparing to kill Alina. What will you choose...?
Option 1: Obey and let Belial kill Alina.
Option 2: Kill Belial and save Alina.
Oh ho, Belial, I've been putting up with you for a long time!
Seeing the two options, Jojo didn't hesitate and slit Belial's throat with a single stroke.
"You...how is this possible?!"
Belial clutched the bleeding wound on his neck, staring at Jojo with disbelief. He couldn't believe, even in his dying moments, that Jojo would actually dare to lay a hand on him.
After Jojo killed Belial, the members of the Fire Moth, the Order of the Church, and the Mithril Knights who were fighting the Honkai Beasts looked at Jojo, whose blade was stained with Belial's blood, in disbelief.
This boy is too ruthless; he even dared to kill the son of the Dean of the Order of the Nation.
And for the sake of a Herrscher, this is nothing short of a blatant betrayal of humanity.
Without hesitation, the members of the Fire Moth, the Order of the Church, and the Mithril Knights pointed their guns and blades at Jojo. His actions were undoubtedly a betrayal of humanity, an act of pure villainy, and he deserved to be killed.
“Joe…” Sakura stopped mid-sentence and suddenly changed her mind, saying, “Master, by doing this you are openly making an enemy of all humanity. Whether it’s the Fire Moth or any other human organization, they will definitely stop at nothing to kill you.”
Hearing Sakura's words, Qiao Qiao sneered and said, "This is the frozen wasteland of the north. As long as these people can't get out, no one will know that I helped the Fifth Herrscher."
Upon hearing this, Sakura looked at Qiao Qiao with a strange glint in her eyes. She knew that Qiao Qiao was a ruthless person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, but she never expected that he would kill everyone present for the sake of a Herrscher.
As an assassin within the Poisonous Chrysalis, Sakura had long been accustomed to killing dissidents to silence them for her superiors.
In the past, Sakura would not have questioned her superiors' orders, but she could clearly sense that Qiaoqiao was different from her superiors in the poisonous cocoon. The former only cared about interests, while the latter was unexpectedly humane.
Why would Jojo kill Belial for Alina, a Herrscher, and risk being targeted by the Flame Chaser, the Order of the Church, and the Mithril Knights?
Despite being a villain, he values relationships, which makes Sakura worry about Qiao Qiao.
"Master, is it worth it for you to sacrifice so much for a Herrscher?"
Qiao Qiao glanced at Sakura with a hint of surprise, then said with a cold smile, "There's no question of whether it's worth it or not. If one day, the person you care about also becomes a Herrscher, you will definitely make the same choice as me."
Sakura hadn't experienced what happened to her own sister, so she couldn't fully empathize with the possibility that Qiaoqiao was assuming. However, she agreed with Qiaoqiao's statement after just a little imagination because she was willing to do anything for her sister. If someone wanted to hurt her, she would definitely make the same choice as Qiaoqiao.
Jojo and Sakura gripped their swords tightly, preparing for a final battle against the Fire Moths and the knights.
Seeing the warriors and knights of the Fire Moth attacking Jojo, Alina straightened her slender back despite her swaying body, raised her flawless white hand towards the charging enemy, and said through gritted teeth, "I will not allow you to harm Father Jojo!"
The next instant, a fierce cold current erupted from Alina's frail body, turning into ice and snow that engulfed the entire wasteland.
Alina's unleashed ice and snow instantly engulfed the army of Firemoths, members of the Order of the Fathers, and Mithril Knights, killing them all.
After wiping out the entire army, Alina, barely maintaining her shattered sanity, ventured deeper into the tundra. She knew she possessed terrifying power, and to protect you, she could only try to stay as far away from you as possible.
Although you are not in mortal danger, you have been buried under the snow and have lost consciousness.
When you wake up again, you find yourself tied to a high wooden frame, and opposite you, Qianjie, wearing a mask, is also bound in the same way.
[Below you two are circles of tundra inhabitants, chanting strange incantations as if performing some kind of mysterious ritual.]
I go!
He was tied up by the primitive people along with Qianjie.
What kind of hell on earth is this?
