Where is the third collapse? ! !

The misty blue pupils mechanically dilated, and what pierced Kiana's retina was not the folds of the black windbreaker in her memory, but the scarlet cracks that tore through the mist.

The jagged fangs were emitting a hissing sound like metallic friction, like a dimensional rift that suddenly tore open reality, as if welcoming her to the abyss.

Even in a battle with the Sequence Herrscher, consuming a large amount of Houkai energy can interfere with and neutralize its power.

The exit of the space crack created by the imaginary number shuttle has long been moved to the mouth of the strongest lake monster!

"Oops!"

Siegfried's expression suddenly changed when he saw this scene, and he fired several beams of light from his hand cannon at the lake monster that was about to chew up his daughter.

However, what the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire fired was a pillar of fire, not a laser. No matter how fast it was, how could it outrun the instinctive chewing of a king-level monster?

Fortunately, even though he can't do it, there are people who can.

Behind Kiana, a crystal blue, dreamy dagger suddenly emerged from the space crack that was about to heal, and dissipated after colliding with the nearest fang.

It was such an insignificant blow that caused the lake monster leader's bite to pause for a moment, buying crucial time for Siegfried's rescue.

The instantaneous sword, the form of consciousness, the pig, deer and butterfly, is a technique involving divine essence, which kills the enemy's mind and makes it lose the will to fight.

However, at this critical moment, the Skyfire Hand Cannon's 'projectile' failed to arrive.

Fu Hua could see clearly from a distance that several lake monsters had already stood upright on the shooting path, blocking the way.

They were willing to be pierced to protect the safety of their leader, and they did so.

'Clang!'

The lake monster, having escaped the Pig-Deer-Butterfly effect, did not make any unnecessary movements, and suddenly bit down with its ferocious bloody mouth.

It was a step slower, and Fu Li arrived in an instant and threw Kiana, who was trapped in the enemy's arms, out.

The lake monster was not dissatisfied even though the duck that was about to be caught flew away.

The moment Fu Li's body stiffened due to the throwing action, six pairs of scarlet fierce eyes suddenly exploded in the shadows - that was a sign of predation from other emperor-level lake monsters.

The huge body wrapped in the shock wave of a volcanic eruption fell violently, the bursting bronze scales tore through the air and intertwined into a web, the high-pressure water blades burned scorch marks on the concrete ground, and each wave of attack was accompanied by a low-frequency roar that shattered the eardrums.

Fu Li's position instantly became the core of the attack. The surface of his Thunder II Soul Steel Armor was cracked with ominous spider web patterns. He and the ground beneath his feet were hammered deep into the earth's crust. A lead-gray mushroom cloud wrapped in granite fragments rose into the sky.

“Ali!!!”

Kiana, who was thrown out, finally realized what happened, and the gold in her left pupil suddenly lit up.

The Spear of the Sub-Void, the symbol of the Herrscher of the Void, was successfully summoned by the girl for the first time. The Herrscher's weapon, transformed into a silk ribbon, cut through the mist and pierced into the earth, gently wrapping up the embarrassed figure that had been attacked repeatedly.

"Not dead yet!"

Even S-class warriors had to temporarily avoid the attack of multiple emperor-class warriors. Fortunately, the Sun Wheel Armor could reduce critical and below hostile attacks by 90%. Combined with the unchanging power of the fragment of the Holy Lance of the End, they could fight again after spitting out blood.

Noticing that Fu Hua was in danger, Fu Li, who had swallowed Alpha Gel to stabilize his internal organs, drew his sword again without hesitation, drawing a dark sun and rushing into the battlefield in the middle of the lake where flames were raging and energy was swirling.

A sudden strike of sword, the devouring form, the guardian of Wangchuan!

At the same time, Bronya came in front of Kiana and raised her little hand.

'Snapped! '

A slap on the other person's face.

"Have you reflected on this?"

The girl's expression was cold.

“I’ve reflected on it!”

Kiana, whose face was visibly red and swollen, didn't waste any words. She turned around, drew her gun and rushed into the battlefield.

"No, you didn't."

Bronya's tone was cold, like a Siberian wind. "You just think that your impulsive behavior caused me to get hurt, so you're anxiously trying to make amends. But you shouldn't just apologize for this, but also for what you said before!"

"Don't waste time—"

"Don't think you're the only one suffering! Kiana Kaslana!!!"

The sudden roar interrupted the impatient white-haired girl. She stopped and stared blankly at her companion in front of her.

Bronya was too lazy to explain to her.

"It's great that my father is still alive."

After saying this, the girl called out six telekinetic floating units and rushed into the battlefield.

Kiana stayed where she was, chewing over Bronya's words, and finally realized how excessive what she had just said to Fury was.

Yes, no matter how much suffering I have endured, my stinky dad is still alive in some corner of this world.

As long as they work hard, they will meet again sooner or later.

Where is Fu Li?

Where are his father and mother?

He is not Bronya who has never seen his parents. He grew up under the care of his parents until he was eight years old, and then lost everything in an accident.

How painful is it to gain and then lose? Just look at Bronya.

Having never experienced maternal love since childhood, she quickly fell for Cocolia after receiving her care. Even though she used Seele for experiments and even though she secretly implanted the chip into her body, to this day, Bronya is still just sulking and has never thought about completely severing her relationship with Cocolia's mother.

Because she couldn't bear to.

Then he looked at what he had said before and questioned what Ali could possibly understand about him.

She lost her temper at the kind-hearted man, roaring and tearing open the wound that had been silent for eight years!

"Damn it! Damn it!!!"

Realizing that she had made another mistake, Kiana angrily rushed into the enemy group, the Spear of the Sky flew up and down, and the spear and sword transformed from the Brilliant Flame burned with golden flames, evaporating a large amount of mud and blood.

After some time had passed, the lake had dried up due to the battle.

"—"

Perhaps realizing the difficulty of the enemy, or perhaps fearing Siegfried who had not yet launched a full-scale attack in secret, the leading lake monster roared out infrasound waves that were incapable of being detected by human ears.

The rest of the tribes, having received the order, abandoned the enemies they were entangled with and quickly retreated with the bodies of their companions.

The thick fog covering the lake gradually dissipated, and the setting sun in the afternoon shone on the miserable battlefield, and there was no trace of the beauty of nature anymore.

"Ha ha......"

The four people who stayed in place were also gasping for breath. The intense battle had drained most of their physical strength.

After making sure that the enemy had completely left, Fu Hua forced himself to move forward, placed his hands on the lake, and muttered something.

It was as if someone pressed the rewind button, and the previously devastated earth quickly returned to its state before the battle began. The weeping willows on the shore hung their green hair into the waves, and each branch was relaxed and free on the water.

"Cousin, this."

"The Four-Valued Heroes' Returning Curse is a technique that can only be used within the territory of Shenzhou—um, thank you."

Taking the Soul Gathering Ring from Fu Li and absorbing the Honkai energy within, Fu Hua sighed, feeling deeply touched by his thoughtfulness. "Mobilizing the power of the Four Guardians of the Divine Authority will cause time to flow backwards within a certain range. It won't affect any living organisms, but it's perfect for restoring the environment."

The Four Time Gods are the Taoist gods of time who are in charge of the four time periods: year, month, day and hour.

Bronya nodded slightly as she recalled the relevant information. She could understand why Fu Hua was so anxious to do this.

Once the remaining tissue and blood of the lake monster flow into the rest of the water, who knows what will be born from the Honkai energy wrapped around it.

Compared to this——

"Aren't you going to look for it, Mr. Siegfried?"

"Huh? This, that..."

Facing Bronya's questioning, Kiana stood there with a conflicted look on her face, and cautiously glanced at Fu Li who was spraying healing spray on his wound.

"Why aren't you going yet?" The boy pouted. "I object to your impulsive behavior that disregards your own safety, not the fact that you're going to look for your father! Sis, be gentle!"

Bronya said nothing, and her hands were much gentler as she helped him bandage the bandage.

"Ow."

Although he had obtained permission to search for the person, Qi Bao still stared at the injured part of Fu Li.

In her impression, even in the decisive battle with the Herrscher of Thunder, the boy did not seem to have suffered such serious injuries (in fact, it was because Asakura Miyuki's Celestial Dao recovered too quickly).

When she thought that it was because of her that he ended up in this situation, and that the stinky dad she had been looking for for four years was right nearby, the girl's legs seemed to be rooted and she couldn't move.

"There's no point in moving."

The voice in my head was cold: "The moment the battle ended, that man's presence disappeared."

"Um, the other me." Qi Bao asked tremblingly, "Are you also dissatisfied with my performance just now?"

"Instead of lamenting over yourself, why not think of a way to mend your relationship with the human—Ari!"

Xilin snorted heavily.

It's not that she can't understand Kiana's behavior. As the girl said earlier, she suffered so much and endured so many grievances just to see her old father who left without saying goodbye. It is completely reasonable for her to behave out of control when they really meet.

Not everyone can remain calm at all times like a certain android in the Dragon Hidden Base. That's steel, not a human.

But when Xilin thought about how the goodwill she had worked so hard to accumulate was wasted and Fu Li was injured, she immediately became furious.

If it weren't for the fact that it would take some time for the Herrscher Core and Kiana to work together perfectly, she would have wanted to seize control of her body right now and rush into the enemy base to kill everyone!

What’s the matter? No matter how powerful the person behind you is, can he be stronger than an S-level Sequence Herrscher?

How dare you hurt my man!

......

Chapter 33: “No energy! No energy at all! Try again!”

At this time, Fu Li was feeling sorry for his armor.

It's not an invincible golden armor. The Sun Armor is a permanent defensive treasure that is integrated with the body. It is the embodiment of the concept of light and there is no such thing as "damage".

What the boy felt sad about was the completely scrapped Thunder II Soul Steel Armor.

As the first step in building its own defense, this B-level armor completely withstood the successive attacks of several emperor-level units.

So Fu Li felt that it was extremely outrageous. How could such a powerful group of Honkai derivatives emerge in such a remote border area?

It would be fine if there was one, but fortunately his life or death is related to the task he has undertaken.

As a question from a father-in-law (? ? ) to test his son-in-law (? ? ), this is way beyond the scope of the question.

But if you think about it carefully, the chances of Thunder Dragon Horse knowing the secret are not high.

After all, the person who would carry out the mission had not been determined at that time. If Mei was also present when they were besieged, wouldn't that daughter-obsessed guy be furious?

Speaking of the siege, Fu Li made a rough estimate and found that several people had killed a total of eight weaker Kanas Lake monsters.

They did catch the enemy off guard at the beginning, but when they reacted and formed a military formation with several Emperor-level warriors as the center, the damage they caused to them was immediately greatly reduced.

Yes, military formation.

They are clearly a group of fish monsters, but they actually know the fighting methods summarized by human ancestors.

Or, does the person behind the scenes who commands them understand?

Even so, despite having all the advantages, the enemy still chose to retreat decisively when faced with the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire who was already showing signs of unsheathing his sword in the distance.

Did Mr. Siegfried save me?

Fu Li thought.

"Um, Ali..."

The usually lively voice became gentler than ever before, and the boy, whose thoughts were interrupted, looked sideways.

She didn't know when the white-haired boy came to her. She lowered her head like a frost-bitten eggplant, not daring to look at the boy's face. Her eyes wandered around, sometimes staring at her slender fingers tangled together in anxiety, and sometimes turning to the clear blue and gorgeous sky.

"I'm sorry..."

she whispered.
