Collapse: A little shock to the card world

However, at this time, the communicator on the battleship passed a message from headquarters to Ying.

Ling... has been rescued...

"bell…"

Sakura was overwhelmed by the huge surprise, and her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

Taking two deep breaths, Ying tried to calm herself down.

The bell is fine now, so the next step is to complete the task at hand as quickly as possible...

"Ring...wait for me..."

Ying looked at the sky in the distance, and a faint smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of her mouth.

...

In the desert-covered sea they evacuated, the battle was over.

Kevin stepped on the crystallized ground and walked towards the broken body.

Even though one-third of its body had disappeared and the rest was charred, this giant pig-like creature was still alive.

Its only remaining eye moved, and it looked at the tiny figure approaching with undisguised mockery in its eyes. It spoke with difficulty, and its voice resounded like thunder all around.

"Kevin... the strongest warrior in the human race, truly lives up to his reputation...

But do you think everything will end here?

No! Everything has just begun!

Hahaha!

There is no hope at all!

It's all a conspiracy!!

Dr. Yu... Dr. Yu!

He is a betrayer!

He is the true agent of collapse!

Everything is about to end! Hahahaha!"

Seeing it becoming more and more crazy, Kevin frowned and said in a cold voice.

"The crazy talk of a loser!"

"Haha! Soon... you will understand..."

The monster's voice quickly weakened, but a huge amount of collapse energy came out from its belly.

Kevin raised the sword in his hand expressionlessly, but slowly put it down the next moment.

Because the huge monster in front of him did not fight back desperately, its body turned into gravel and collapsed to the ground in the blink of an eye.

It committed suicide...

Kevin was silent for a moment and suddenly found a pale yellow crystal shining in the sand.

He quickly walked over and picked it up. He recognized this thing...

The Herrscher Core of the Fifteenth Herrscher of the Sands, recorded in the archives...

Kevin took out a special headset from his arms and put it into his ears.

A moment later, Mei's voice came from the headset.

"Kevin, how's the situation over there?"

Kevin looked at the pile of sand in front of him and said calmly

"The anomaly has been resolved, but the body cannot be recovered."

Mei's surprised voice came from the headset.

"You couldn't leave the body behind? Never mind, is there anything else?"

Kevin was silent for a moment.

"He committed suicide, and his body turned to sand. However, within the sand he had become, we found the Herrscher Core of the Sand Herrscher."

Mei on the other side of the headset was silent for a moment, as if she was looking up some information.

Half a minute later, Mei spoke again.

"There's no record of the Herrscher Core being taken, but it's definitely gone from the lab. It seems they've been planning this for a long time...

Kevin, you take the Herrscher Core with you first, complete the mission with Sakura and the others, and then come back together.

The situation at headquarters has stabilized, and no accidents have occurred."

"Ah."

Kevin looked at the gravel in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then passed the monster's last words to Mei.

"I see."

In the combat command room, Mei listened to Kevin's report and hung up the phone.

She sat in a chair, tapping her fingers on the table.

The news Kevin brought was somewhat strange and inexplicable. Whether it was the power of the Herrscher Core that the enemy possessed this time or his last words, Mei always felt that there was an inexplicable connection.

But she couldn't find any clues yet. Perhaps she could find some inspiration by asking the person involved directly.

After all, with the electronic intrusion technology that Yuan Yu had demonstrated before, he might have already known the conversation just now, so there was no need to hide it.

Mei picked up the tablet beside her and was about to make a video call to Yuan Yu when a call request popped up. It was from Yuan Yu...

He already knew...

Mei thought so and clicked to accept the communication.

Yuan Yu's figure appeared on the tablet, but his expression was a little solemn.

Yuan Yu did know the details of the communication between Mei and Kevin. Although he couldn't monitor the entire network in real time, he could still set up some fixed programs, such as automatically sending him information about him online...

However, the brief conversation between Na Mei and Kevin made Yuan Yu feel something was wrong.

The monster's last words inexplicably mentioned Yuan Yu. Was it pure nonsense, or was it because it had integrated the Herrscher core and learned some special information that it said it?

After all, Dr. Yu used to be the one who benefited the higher-ups...

If there was no Ascension Plan, how could those high-ranking officials dare to openly attack the Fusion Warriors?

Coupled with the Herrscher's power contained in the golden elixir in Ling's body, I always feel that this is a way to give birth to a Herrscher...

Yuan Yu looked at Mei and talked about some guesses that he had just thought of.

"Dr. Mei, I previously thought that the birth of the Herrscher would lead to a significant increase in the Honkai Impact Element in a region.

After reaching the critical point, someone in the area is selected by Honkai and then transformed into a Herrscher through Honkai energy.

In today's world, due to the prevalence of the Ascension Technique, the amount of Honkai energy has been at a low point. According to my theory, the birth of a Herrscher is impossible...

However, there is no possibility that Honkai will change the way Herrschers are born due to the development of civilization..."

"... "

Mei fell into deep thought after hearing Yuan Yu's words.

This is indeed a possibility, but what is the new way?

"Report! Abnormal growth of Honkai energy detected! The location is..."

The person reporting it had a trembling voice, but everyone already knew it without him saying anything.

Because at this time, there is a constant flow of collapse energy spreading around like a tide.

The Herrisher appeared...

The location is right here…

Fire Moth's headquarters...

...

Yuan Yu's residence

He felt the soaring Honkai energy in the air, and the first thing he thought of was that the Herrscher in Ling's body had awakened.

He immediately rushed out of the room and opened the door of the guest room.

"bell!"

There was peace in the room.

Ling lay on the bed, her face calm, her breathing even...

Yuan was standing in front of the window holding a long sword, staring at the sky outside which was slowly brightening.

"Take good care of Ling..."

Yuan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked Yuan to take good care of Ling.

He quickly came to the rooftop and looked at the figure floating in the sky in the distance that looked like the sun.

A huge amount of Honkai energy continued to fall from the sky, and one Honkai beast after another was born around them.

All the Fire Moths' troops have been dispatched, and violent roars continue to be heard throughout the headquarters.

The Herrscher in the sky didn't seem to have any intention of taking action. He just floated in the sky, continuously emitting light and Honkai energy.

However, the light seemed to be getting more and more dazzling, and the figure inside could no longer be seen clearly. It could only be felt that it still did not move.
