Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

【Ding dong! 】

Lin Mao: Dude, you really thought I was telling the truth?

Lin Mao: Even if I really did hide it secretly, I can't say it in the group chat in front of so many people, okay?

"Ok?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Mao suddenly uttered a questioning sound, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his neck to look around.

"what happened?"

Alicia noticed Lin Mao's unusual behavior and asked him a question out of curiosity.

“If I’m not mistaken…” Lin Mao paused, his voice rang out simultaneously with the beeping of the communicator.

"The Honkai has broken out."

Alicia: "..."

mark:"……"

The two suddenly fell silent, took out their respective communicators and connected them. As time passed, their expressions gradually became serious.

"call--"

"I'm going."

Hen said something and turned to look at Blanca and Mebius.

Mebius, being well-informed, remained calm even after knowing that the Honkai had broken out.

Blanca's eyes were filled with worry.

Hen didn't say much, but spoke in a deliberately relaxed tone, "Alicia, I'm entrusting Blanca and Dr. Mebius to you. Make sure they get to a safe area."

Alicia turned to look at Lin Mao, who immediately understood that she wanted him to deliver it.

With the power of the Herrscher of the Void, Lin Mao only needs to snap his fingers to send the two to safety.

"The Moth Chasing Fire has set up a temporary base near Changkong City."

"Row."

Lin Mao nodded and said to Blanca and Mebius, "Stand firm, be careful not to fall."

As the two were wondering what was going on, the space in front of them rapidly changed, finally pausing on a single image.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already traveled from the center of Changkong City to the Moth Chaser stronghold located on the outskirts of Changkong City.

Seeing Blanca and Mebius being taken away, Hen breathed a sigh of relief and casually asked, "What ability did you use just now? How did you send them away in such a flash?"

"The power of the Herrscher of the Void."

"?"

Hen paused for a moment, then resumed normal movements.

"You don't think I don't know that the Herrscher of the Void is long dead, do you? Her core and body are currently being preserved at the Flame Chaser base."

Lin Mao shrugged and offered no further explanation.

Alicia noticed that Hen was a little nervous and comforted him, "Don't worry, Hen. With Lin Mao and me here, we'll make sure you get back to see Blanca unharmed."

Lin Mao commented, "You've regressed."

As a veteran of the Moth of Fire, he was actually nervous when facing the Honkai.

"Thank you, Alicia."

Hen first thanked Alicia, then rolled his eyes at Lin Mao.

"You're not still single, are you? I'm with Blanca, and once you have someone... never mind, you wouldn't understand."

Hen sighed and shook his head, saying, "I have nothing in common with a single dog like you anymore."

Lin Mao chuckled.

"You said you have Blanca... So when are you planning to marry her?"

"Hmm... let's end this Honkai attack."

After a moment's thought, Hen said, "I've already bought the ring. I'm going to surprise her. I'll propose to her after the collapse of Changkong City is over."

“After all, if this drags on any longer…” Hen shook his head, but didn’t finish his sentence.

Lin Mao and Alicia both knew what he wanted to say.

As for whether that white-haired guy knows or not, I'm not sure.

Hen's thoughts... in short, are that he's worried about dying in the Honkai.

I don't want to leave myself with any regrets.

"Then I wish you a speedy delivery of your baby."

"What do you mean, wishing you well in advance! If you don't show up and come down to see me, don't blame me for having some big guys at the bar invite you to hang out!"

Hen said, half-jokingly and half-threateningly.

Suddenly remembering something, he turned to look at Alicia.

Alicia, standing to the side, remained silent, eavesdropping from the corner with her cat-like mouth pouting.

Kiana had her back to everyone and was still eating, but her ears were already perked up.

He tilted his head slightly, pointing his ear toward Lin Mao and Hen.

Hen's eyelids twitched, and he solemnly instructed, "Don't tell Blanca beforehand!"

The person who spoke was naturally Alicia, who has a big mouth. No one knows whether she will tell Blanca about what happened today.

That way, the surprise he carefully prepared won't be so surprising anymore.

As for Kiana, she wasn't familiar with Blanca, and Hen didn't think she would be so idle as to reveal this information.

Upon hearing this, Alicia's eyes turned resentful. "Hen, in your eyes, am I really that kind of person?"

Hen nodded decisively, "Yes!"

"That annoying guy!" Alicia stopped pretending to be a 'resentful woman' and snorted coldly, saying to Lin Mao, "Lin Mao, beat him up!"

Lin Mao remained unmoved.

You want me to attack my brother?

Hen, who was about to leave, stopped and realized that Lin Mao really had no intention of attacking him. He curled his lips into a mocking smile and turned to Alicia.

"Do you even know what it means to have brothers like limbs and women like... cough cough cough, do you even know what male friendship means?!"

Immediately afterwards, Hen felt a hand on his shoulder.

After struggling for a moment and finding that he couldn't break free, Hen suddenly panicked.

Suddenly Lin Mao let go of her hand. "Fine, I won't tease you anymore."

Turning his head to look in one direction of Changkong City, he sensed that all the Honkai energy surging from Changkong City was converging in that direction.

There seemed to be a black hole there, endlessly devouring Honkai energy.

There are usually only two possibilities that could cause this phenomenon.

First, there is an Emperor-class Honkai Beast there; second, there is a newly born Herrscher there.

Clearly, given the situation in Changkong City, the only possibility in that direction is a Herrscher.

What's in that direction?

Hen rubbed his shoulders.

"The Herrscher."

"Let me do it this time."

Kiana stepped forward, wiping the grease from the corner of her mouth with a tissue. After eating so much food, she couldn't just leave without doing something in return, could she?

"Sure, then you go deal with that Herrscher. Just a friendly reminder, that Herrscher is still absorbing Honkai energy, so his strength probably hasn't reached its peak yet."

Lin Mao said.

Upon learning that Changkong City might be the next site of collapse, Alicia immediately began evacuating the city's residents.

The Honkai eruption could not find a host to transform into, and no zombies appeared, which prevented the scale of the Honkai from expanding and the amount of Honkai energy was also relatively small.

Correspondingly, it will take longer for a Herrscher to reach their peak condition.

In conclusion, now is the best time to make a move.

"Go for it, Kiana! I believe in you. It's time to show the results of Durandal's special training!"

Lin Mao gave a thumbs-up, revealing a row of bright white teeth, as encouragement.

Alicia also gave her a thumbs up.

Kiana: "..."

Kiana felt like she was being held up, and forced herself to say, "You...you know, that's not what I meant..."

Lin Mao frowned and sighed, "Kiana has really gotten stronger. I actually feel that the Herrschers are too weak to be worthy of her at this time... Good!"

"I'll buff her up a bit later, I guarantee she'll be just as good as any of the Herrschers you've encountered!"

"I'll make you happy!"

Kiana's expression fell slightly. "You know that's not what I meant..."

"..."
