Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

It took Kiana some time to figure out what Aponia had just done. At this moment, she was almost certain that the so-called divine sound was probably related to Aponia!

Seeing that Bai Yan was completely unaffected, Aponia was not disappointed at all; in fact, she even smiled.

This tall, aloof woman made her feel at ease.

But at the same time, a violent surge of emotion welled up in her chest.

"It seems that you have perfectly defended against my abilities."

"But that power doesn't seem to be a simple barrier?"

"I don't mean to pry into your secrets, but just now, I saw something incomprehensible... Could you explain it to me?"

Buddhism has the saying "Buddhist kingdom in the palm of your hand" and "a world in a flower", while Taoism also has supernatural powers such as "a universe in a sleeve".

"Humans imitate nature and create many things; so isn't it reasonable for me to want to imitate even more things and create an invincible ability?"

Bai Yan spoke calmly, but looking at Aponia's micro-expressions, he felt a little uneasy.

—My new skill is indeed amazing, but isn't your reaction a little strange?

Aponia nodded, seemingly agreeing wholeheartedly.

"No wonder you look down on the Fusion Warrior surgery... Well then, for the sake of this war, I also need to make some preparations. I'll take my leave for now."

"Please."

Aponia has temporarily left.

Seeing this, Kiana finally spoke.

"Um, Fu Yan, there are some things I want to tell you."

"If it's a secret that belongs only to you, then you can continue to keep it a secret."

"Because I think your decision to reveal this now is simply to face the crisis facing the Lawyer."

"I already have plans for this war, so you don't need to force yourself."

Kiana was taken aback for a moment, then said with relief, "I used to think you were a cold and unapproachable person, but I didn't expect you to be so perceptive..."

"Sometimes, knowing the outcome and acting based on that can easily lead to misunderstandings."

"I think you must have your own thoughts on this war."

"Kiana, don't hesitate. When the time comes, you can go ahead and do it. With me here, everything here is guaranteed."

Kiana stood up upon hearing this, her hesitation vanishing instantly.

"I understand, then I'll go prepare!"

"Go."

A moment later, Kiana left and ran off to find Aponia.

After watching her leave, Bai Yan stared at the teacup in his hand, lost in thought.

"According to the original timeline, the Eighth Herrscher of the previous civilization would have caused the sudden deaths of more than two million people in the first instance."

"Now I am confident that I can avoid all of this. In fact, I can say that, with the information I have, I can defeat all the Herrschers that come next."

"However, what happened in the future proves another fact: the previous civilization will eventually be destroyed."

"In other words, none of us can cross the end unless the One Spark Project succeeds..."

"Am I also going to have to stand by and watch civilization weep?"

"Dr. Mei, what exactly did you leave behind?"

Volume 1: Chapter 151: Encounter with the Law of Knowledge

"The signal is intermittent?"

Dr. Mei suddenly stood up and went to the screen to take a look for a moment.

Then a look of confusion appeared on his face.

The soldiers awaited orders.

After a long while, Dr. Mei said to the soldier, "You go ahead and get busy. I need to go out for a bit."

"Yes!"

Dr. Mei made some preparations, changing out of her white coat and into casual clothes.

Just as I was about to go out, I saw Kevin running over.

She said with some helplessness, "Kevin, now is not the time to leave your post at will. Many people are watching you. If even you lose your composure, the morale of the army will really collapse."

Dr. Mei thought of Fu Yan and felt a pang of emotion for that strong woman who always maintained her composure.

If Kevin could add a little more to his original personality...

Thinking about this, she suddenly realized that she was being too greedy, so she banished all those thoughts.

“I know, but Fu Yan told me about this. Aponia also came out of the Abyss, saying that she was preparing to deal with the upcoming Herrscher.”

Dr. Mei fell into deep thought.

Aponia, Fu Yan, signal anomaly...

"Is the fifth squad already preparing?"

Kevin nodded: "May, shouldn't we ask her to confirm?"

Dr. Mei then asked, "Where is Kiana?"

"Uh, she's with Aponia."

Kevin didn't understand this. According to the information revealed by the Fifth Squad, Kiana's abilities should have nothing to do with mental fusion warriors.

Dr. Mei pondered for a moment, then looked at Kevin: "Have your team prepare as well, especially the members you care about. Have them prepare in a safer area. If you can't find an excuse, then tell them that this time there is no rear base, and the probability of being attacked is the same everywhere."

"Eh?"

"You don't need to worry too much about this. Since Fu Yan doesn't intend to communicate with us directly, it means that in her opinion, there's no point in communicating. Let's talk to her separately after this is over."

Kevin scratched his head, unable to calm down at all, yet he had no choice but to listen to Dr. May.

"All right……"

Kevin returned to the first squad, where Desdobia and Kosmo immediately greeted him.

Desdobia: "Captain, how is the situation?"

"You will remain at headquarters and stand by. According to Mei, this enemy is very special; any location could become the front line. Therefore, we need to stay at headquarters and guard any key points."

"Huh? Is it that scary?!" Daisy Dobby exclaimed in surprise.

"Understood, Captain!" Kosmo stood at attention and immediately ran off to prepare for battle.

Seeing this, Desdobia stuck out her tongue and quickly followed, not forgetting to take a moment to salute Kevin.

The location of the fifth squad.

"Captain, is this really going to work?"

"Yes, and the combat missions are more complex than any you've experienced before."

Bai Yan sat in the command room, staring at the internal map of the Fire Moth displayed on the screen, without even looking up.

However, Hua did not leave after hearing this answer.

Then he looked up and said, “When the anomaly fully materializes, you and the team members will guard all the entrances and exits of headquarters. But remember, do not stop any suspicious persons; you just need to quietly record the people coming and going.”

"Will doing this really help defeat this Herrscher?"

Bai Yan raised his eyebrows.

—This little girl is still too young.

It's only because he was familiar with the other party, plus some of the affectations of modern civilization, that he would have deliberately caused a scene long ago.

With so many questions, little girl, are you not convinced by me?

“It worked—Alright, I need to continue preparing to deal with the new Herrscher. You may leave.”

"But--"

"No buts, go down."

"..."

Hua could only give a military salute before hurrying off to carry out the order.

After she left, Bai Yan slowly raised his hand and looked at his palm.

Some parts were pale, and some were even trembling.

A moment later, Aponia's voice came through the communicator.

[Miss Fu Yan, I have arrived at the location.]

Bai Yan took a deep breath and said, "Very good. Next, I will close the last gap. What about casualties?"

It is estimated that 150,000 people have already died.

"No need to force it. We cannot predict the exact time of the Eighth Herrscher's arrival, but since it has already appeared and caused casualties, let's accept the result."

"Are you alright, Miss Fu Yan?"

"I'm fine, just a bit exhausted, but it's okay. You guys get ready over there—"

Suddenly, Bai Yan's expression changed, and his hand clenched instantly.

At this moment, the powers belonging to the Honkai Apostles collided suddenly, and the mental impact came unexpectedly.

but.

Bai Yan did not notify Aponia.

The original plan was for Bai Yan to create an absolute defensive barrier to cover the entire area where the Fire Moth was located.

Inside the Moth Chaser, the vital signs of each person are constantly monitored.

In this battle, defense is not the true function of a barrier; its role should be positioning and luring.

When an unusual sudden death occurs in the world, the plan will begin immediately.

The barrier unfolds, leaving a small section as an entrance and exit.

At this point, the Eighth Herrscher will instinctively notice the greatest threat: the Moths of Fire.

Then launch an attack.

An insurmountable barrier of consciousness, yet within it exists a powerful being capable of killing oneself.

It's like a natural enemy lurking in the shadows, like a thorn in your side.

The Eighth Herrscher launched a mental attack, striking the last gap in the barrier.

"Death hypnosis? Or you could just knock on my door..."

Bai Yan sank his consciousness into the depths of his soul once more, and the mysterious gate rose again, appearing in his senses.

This time, the gate did not withstand the Herrscher's attack as easily as it had done in the Domination Theater last time.

The gate was shaking, as if it were about to collapse.

This was not an opportunity to open up, but rather a helpless murmur.

"This time, the gate can only guard the last line of defense for my soul, preventing me from being completely controlled by the Herrscher... The Herrscher of Knowledge from the previous civilization can actually put such pressure on me!"

As the consciousness of the law invaded, Bai Yan felt waves of nausea rising in his chest.

This is the price to pay for resisting the strange spiritual commands.

Gradually, Bai Yan became somewhat dazed.

However, at the same time, the shaking of the gate gradually subsided.

"So that's how it is. The method to stabilize the mind really can be derived from the Luoshen Sword Technique... Master Jingliu really taught me everything."

Different people have different ways of controlling their mental power.

Bai Yan's path is to construct a world with earth, water, fire, and wind—a complete world, a complete law.
