Playful! Collapse!

Yuan Yan was in deep thought, and after about thirty seconds, he knew the answer to this question.

It’s not that he found the answer to the question in these few seconds, but the answer appeared before his eyes.

In front of Yuan Yan, two energy crystals suddenly flew towards Yuan Yan and directly hit his magic crystal gauntlets.

After the magic crystal gauntlet automatically deformed, the soul steel that flew out of the two crystals seemed to have been made together with the gauntlet from the very beginning, and perfectly integrated with the gauntlet.

The case is solved, so - no, aren't these two crystals Chi You's seal?

Why would they...oh, I see.

Chi You is a Judgment-level Honkai beast that can endanger Shenzhou.

But the Herrscher of Corrosion is a Herrscher that can destroy the world.

Compared to the giant Chi You, the threat posed by the Herrscher of Corrosion is indeed a little more serious...

Adding to that the fact that they are members of the Fire Moths, and with all these factors added together, as long as these two veterans are still conscious, I think they will feel their blood pressure soar after seeing me, even if their bodies are gone.

After the fusion of the two soul steel and magic crystal gauntlets, Yuan Yan found that he now felt much better than before.

Well, in this case, I really don't have to be so extreme.

It would be very painful if I was hit directly by the Moonlight Throne. Now that the conditions allow it - what are you waiting for, run!

After grabbing Ji Lin who was lying on the ground, Yuan Yan dragged Ji Lin's body and trotted to another area without saying a word.

Twenty seconds later, as Einstein in the outside world used the Moonlight Throne to break open Chi You's body and directly hit the heart of the giant beast with the Moonlight Throne, the giant beast finally stopped moving in front of everyone.

[Deputy Leader, this is Einstein. Chi You has stopped his actions—you didn't take the Moonlight Throne's attack head-on, did you?]

After sending a ray of holy light to Ji Lin's body to pray for healing, Yuan Yan said with a guilty conscience.

"Of course not."

[...Then I feel relieved.]

"Well, Doctor, please leave here first. After all... Ms. Theresa can be trusted, but that bastard Otto will never let you go."

"I'll handle the follow-up matters here, and I'll leave the rest of the matters at headquarters to you."

[Understood. Deputy Alliance Leader, please be careful as well.]

Einstein, who was outside, finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no weakness and pain in Yuan Yan's voice.

Although she and Yuan Yan had only known each other for a short time, Einstein knew very well that Yuan Yan was a companion she could trust.

In this situation, it was actually quite normal for Einstein to have these previous concerns as long as he recalled Yuan Yan's past.

But...it seems I was really worrying too much.

If you think about it carefully, although Chi You is not easy to deal with, it is much simpler to deal with than the collapse of Changkong City.

The deputy leader is already stronger than before, he will definitely not act recklessly like before.

[Mei, Yuno, we've confirmed that the deputy leader is alright. As for the rest of the story... you should continue to work with him.]

"Understood!"

After swallowing the words "let him take it easy", Einstein listened to the two people's response, directly activated the quantum teleportation system, and returned to the headquarters of Anti-Entropy.

"Hey, Chicken Coop Head, you're back so soon?"

In the hangar, Tesla, who was handling business, looked at Einstein after he came back in the Alahato and asked Einstein.

"Where are Yuan Yan and the others?"

"The deputy leader still needs to stay in Jiuyou to handle some follow-up matters, so I brought Alahato and the Moonlight Throne back first."

After slowly walking out of the cockpit, Einstein looked at everything around him that was familiar, and he felt...

Everything around her seemed very familiar to her, but she had a sense of illusion.

"Hey, hey, why do you have that expression?"

Looking at his friend in front of him, Tesla walked up to Einstein, stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously in front of her.

"Are you too tired from processing experimental data recently, so you seem to be half asleep?"

"...No, that's not the case."

Looking at Tesla who was a little worried about him, Einstein said with a wry smile.

"I just feel that... whether it was the Third Collapse or this Nine Nether Unrest, everything ended a little too simply."

"Yeah, it's indeed much simpler than I imagined. If you really think so, then I'll think you're really sleepy, you chicken-coop head."

Listening to Einstein's words, Tesla's expression suddenly became serious.

"Things seem to have been resolved smoothly, but I haven't forgotten that the reason everything was resolved smoothly wasn't because we became stronger, but because that brat Yuan Yan suddenly appeared."

"The millions of people in Changkong City were able to be saved because he seized the Herrscher Core along the way and finally absorbed the Honkai energy into himself, allowing the Moonlight Throne to neutralize a large amount of Honkai energy in the shortest possible time."

"I don't know what happened on Jiuyou's side, but after what Otto said to Theresa, Theresa was able to be so friendly to Yuan Yan on the surface. This is enough to prove that Yuan Yan must have worked hard behind the scenes in this incident."

"Even if I don't ask now, I didn't see any sadness in your eyes after you came back. This is enough to prove that this incident was resolved smoothly. So..."

"—This also proves that during the operation, Yuan Yan must have taken risks and continued to exploit his own strength."

Tesla felt a headache when he thought of this younger generation who was a member of the radical faction.

"It's ok that Joachim didn't care about his life back then, but Yuan Yan is even more desperate now than Joachim was fourteen years ago."

"And...he's different from Joachim in one way."

"Yes."

Einstein took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.

"He and Joachim are really different."

"Just looking at him... I even felt like Joyce had come back to us."

"He, like Joyce, is a genius."

"Even compared to Joyce, who was originally a Herrscher, Yuan Yan, who is still not a Herrscher, can actually use special means to easily control the various powers in his body..."

"It is precisely because of this that his actions have become increasingly extreme – because he truly has the capital to believe that being a little more extreme can solve problems."

"Yeah, but it's like walking a tightrope... walking a tightrope is not something to be praised."

After gently tapping a few times on the intelligence screen that appeared in front of him, Tesla continued to speak to Einstein while looking at the data obtained after Einstein tested the quantum transmission system this time.

"That bastard Otto, he made Theresa show goodwill towards Yuan Yan this time. I guess he's already secretly preparing to take action against Yuan Yan."

"This guy has access to a vast amount of information left behind by previous civilizations. After so many years, no one knows what kind of nonsense he will come up with to target Yuan Yan."

"Well, I think the same as you, so next, while we are hunting down Cocolia, we must give priority to doing this."

After watching Tesla begin to process the data he had collected, Einstein looked back at Alahato.

"The quantum teleportation system, after our improvements, can now complete continuous transmission in a short period of time."

"Although this thing is still not as good as the [Key of Space] created by the previous civilization, as long as we continue to improve it, it can at least become a talisman for Yuan Yan to retreat from the battlefield."

But now, this amulet is obviously very reliable, but the uneasiness in my heart has not been alleviated in the slightest.

Now that we have new cards, Otto will definitely have corresponding new methods.

The fact that he didn't take direct action now only meant that he was not confident enough.

But my intuition tells me...

The day when he takes action probably won't be too far away.

............................................................

When Ji Lin slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was...

There was a man squatting in front of him, eating chocolate.

"You... saved me?"

Ji Lin, who was wearing a black tight-fitting suit, felt no pain in his body and looked at Yuan Yan in great surprise.

"Even before, I was planning to..."

"Ah, negative emotions are pretty insignificant."

After taking a big bite of chocolate, Yuan Yan said nonchalantly.

"The old lady in my body, the resentment in her spiritual world is much more terrifying than the resentment you have had for five thousand years."

"But now I'm fine and can eat and drink normally, which is enough to prove that this resentment is not that scary."

Looking at Yuan Yan's natural expression in front of him, Ji Lin confirmed again and again that all his negative emotions had really disappeared, and the look he gave Yuan Yan became much strange.

No, no, no, I am the owner of those resentments, and I know very well how terrible those resentments are.

The reason you are fine is not because resentment is not scary, but because you are scarier than resentment.

Although I'm very happy that there is such an outstanding talent like you among the younger generation of Shenzhou, but...

Thinking back to the internal organ fragments carried in the foul air exhaled by Yuan Yan when he fought with him, Ji Lin still felt that this junior of his was definitely not normal.

Who would vomit internal organs while fighting?

Just when Ji Lin was about to say something, two voices that made her miss them so much suddenly came into her ears.

"I say... you're so shameless to say that."

"That's right, if my sister and I hadn't arrived in time, you would have been in serious trouble by now, okay?"

Looking at the two women in white floating in front of him, Ji Lin suddenly felt as if he had returned to five thousand years ago.

Five thousand years ago, due to some unexpected events, Chiyou descended upon the land of China.

At that time, in order to seal this hateful beast, her two best friends chose to sacrifice themselves and used the sealing crystals made of soul steel to form two seals in Chi You's body.

Although these two seals failed to seal Chi You directly, they weakened most of its power.

It was also because of this that Ji Lin was able to suppress Chi You and seal this giant beast that she could not completely kill in the Nine Netherworld for five thousand years.

However, now, in Ji Lin's view, the two people in front of her who looked vivid and lifelike were undoubtedly her two close friends who should have died in battle five thousand years ago.

"Danzhu, Cangxuan, you..."

Ji Lin wanted to reach out and hug his best friend, but at this moment he found that his hands could not touch the other person's body.

"Long time no see, Ji Lin."

"Yeah, it's been a long time."

Looking at his friend in front of him, this pioneer of the former civilization exchanged glances and then said to Ji Lin helplessly.

"However, I think you should face reality. Although we still have a certain degree of self-awareness, it does not mean that we are still alive."

"Yes, our bodies have long since perished. If it weren't for the properties of the Sealing Crystal, we wouldn't even have the fragments of consciousness left now."

Looking at his extremely shocked friend, Danzhu, who should have been very lively, spoke in an unusually calm tone about a reality that Ji Lin should have recognized long ago.

"After all, my sister and I...were already dead in that battle five thousand years ago."

PS: 7K, continue tomorrow.

Regarding the strongest branch, some people may think that it is not good that the Far East branch was given a low rating by Dai E.

But the problem is that when everyone is about the same, the combat effectiveness of the branch can be simply determined by its equipment and top experts.

On the other hand, in the Far East branch, Theresa fought against Honkai Beast for the first time after she was born. She used the Key of God and killed the Emperor-level beast directly.

Coupled with the divine grace barrier 14 years ago, if the fourth core Xilin had not had Jingji in her body, she would have been stabbed to death by Theresa.

Jizi's combat power is not as good as Theresa's, but the combination of Nexus + Hyperion allows her to fire energy cannons with an energy intensity of up to 1320HW.

I just took a special look at the plot of the third chapter. After Wendy was brought out, Jizi detected that the intensity of the Honkai energy in Wendy had reached 2000HW.

Although everyone thinks that Wendy was killed violently by Titan, this is a standard plot kill.

If we ignore the plot and only look at the statistics, 2000 HW is comparable to the combat power of an average Herrscher. In other words, after Himeko connects Nexus to Hyperion, she has over % of Wendy's destructive power, which is quite strong.

As for the fact that these two high-end fighters have to burn their lives - other people don't even have the qualifications to burn their lives when encountering a strong enemy, then I think it's okay that a master with negative effects is always stronger than not being a master.
