The Most Embarrassing Herrscher Appears

Kosma and Sakura were the last to arrive, and with them came the rebukes from the higher-ups. Even though Zhu Yufeng was the fastest-growing warrior within the Fire Moth, it was not permissible in principle to involve the people in the battle against the Honkai.

Zhu Yufeng simply stated his reasons, which he had already prepared, without any expression, and then asked Kevin and the other two about their willingness to join the Fire Moth.

After Kevin, Kosma, and Disaster all expressed their agreement, and with Youhen smoothing things over, the higher-ups didn't say anything more, only requesting that Zhu Yufeng and Elysia submit their self-criticisms on time.

Even so, Kevin and the others were still not allowed to participate in the campaign against the Third Law. They were only permitted to assist in dealing with the Honkai Beast from the outside under Hen's command. After all, nominally they were not currently formally trained soldiers; neither was Disaster nor any of them in name or in reality.

After ending her communication with the higher-ups, Disaster grabbed Kosma's ear and pulled him aside, expressing her strong dissatisfaction with Kosma's insistence on running alone through the sky and then abandoning her to enter the danger zone by himself.

Kosma could only silently let Disaster pull his ears and pinch his face.

Standing next to Zhu Yufeng, Elysia spoke up, "Looking at this scene, I suddenly miss the time when Kosma had horns. It felt pretty good to handle."

"Disaster and Hen...they were two very important people in Kosma's life." Zhu Yufeng said with his arms crossed, "The successive sacrifices of the Eighth and Ninth Laws were a huge blow to Kosma."

Kevin recalled Kosma's departure from the team in his previous life and his accusations against him, and said, "That was... a sacrifice made out of necessity."

"There's nothing I can do..." Zhu Yufeng lowered his eyes. He was thinking about the Tragedy of Binding. If he had to choose again, he would still agree to the Evil option. If he wanted to defeat the Finality, this was something that could not be avoided no matter what.

But even if most of the Fusion Warrior are preserved, can the Finality really win? Having personally experienced the power of the Finality, he knows very well that no matter how many Fusion Warrior survive, they are no match for the Finality.

"Feng, do you think we can win this time?" Kevin asked. "We know our fate, we know the characteristics of our enemy, but even so..."

"We can only hold out Finality. When the Finality comes, there will be no way to turn back. If the Chimera Project can be executed earlier and more smoothly this time, there might be some hope," Zhu Yufeng said. These days, no matter what he thought, with the current technology, apart from the Chimera Project improving individual combat capabilities, he couldn't think of any other way to defeat the Finality.

Kevin looked at Zhu Yufeng, and before he could speak, Zhu Yufeng continued, "However, Mobius is quite resolute this time. Nothing I did could persuade her to agree to let me carry out the Chimera Project, but..."

"She's right," Kevin said. "We can find other ways; you don't have to bear all of this alone."

Zhu Yufeng looked at Kevin: "If what you're saying is true, is this also an unavoidable sacrifice?"

"If we still cannot defeat the Finality this time, then it is not a helpless sacrifice, but a meaningless sacrifice," Kevin said, looking at Zhu Yufeng.

Elysia listened silently to the two of them talking. She and Feng had discussed this issue before, and Feng had said, "It's like the question you asked Kevin: if pulling the trigger on me could save most people, what would you choose?"

Her answer was similar to Kevin's, "But this isn't a possibility, it's a possibility. If it's just a possibility, then I would never try it."

Zhu Yufeng was silent for a moment, then looked at the square in the center of the area where the law had been applied. "If you don't try, you'll never know how it will end, even if there's only the slightest possibility..."

"Feng, what exactly are you fighting for?" Kevin asked bluntly. He had always had this question because he was very clear about his own position; he was only doing it because Mei needed him to.

But what about Feng? What was his motivation?

Zhu Yufeng looked at Elysia: "Elysia, I think I can give you my answer now. Before you decided to sacrifice yourself, were you absolutely certain of the success of your powers?"

Elysia was taken aback and said that she was also trying, but the feeling of sacrificing herself and watching others sacrifice themselves was ultimately different.

"If we can't change your mind, then this time, let me take charge of this plan," Kevin said.

Zhu Yufeng was the first person to execute the Chimera Project. Following in his footsteps, Kevin became the second person to execute the Chimera Project. This time, Kevin plans to execute the Chimera Project simultaneously with Zhu Yufeng.

"Let's talk to Mobius later," Zhu Yufeng said, looking down at the data on the instrument. "It's time to prepare for battle."

"Well then, Kevin, we'll be going now~" Elysia and Kevin waved, and together with Sakura, they followed Zhu Yufeng into the central area.

In fact, according to the archives reviewed later, the Third Law, which was born during the Third Great Collapse, did not cause much damage to the Firemoth. On the contrary, her companion, the Honkai Beast Shesa, caused considerable trouble for the Firemoth. It was not until the Sixth Law was destroyed that she was truly eliminated by Mebius.

"Speaking of which, this should be my first meeting with Third Lawyer... Oh, there she is." Zhu Yufeng looked up and saw Third Lawyer standing on the top of the building in the distance.

He suddenly found himself speechless. Standing so obviously, are you afraid people will notice you? Are you some pufferfish from the next era?

If all the later Herrschers were as arrogant as the Third Herrscher, that would be great. The later Herrschers either lay low after their birth, develop for a while before appearing and causing the Honkai, or they have special powers like the Eleventh Herrscher. After all, within the Divine Blessing Barrier, all Honkai Energy- powered instruments will malfunction, and ordinary people will die if they enter.

This Third Law, like her power of lightning, proclaimed her existence to the world the moment she was born.

"Fourth Squad, target located, taking position."

"First Squad, target located, taking position."

"Seventh Squad, target located, taking position."

Such responses echoed through the communication channel, and Zhu Yufeng probably now knew how the Third Law had failed in his previous life.

Find a suitable location, set up the gun, load the specially made anti-magic bullets, and aim.

His sniping skills are the best among the three, so he's the one to snipe the Third Herrscher, while Elysia, the nominal squad leader, is there discussing the Third Herrscher's fashion sense with Sakura...

The conclusion is that it's not quite right and doesn't fit Elysia's aesthetic.

Shouldn't you two be keeping an eye out for Shesha? Or at least keep an eye out for any Honkai Beast around him...?

Sakura drew her sword, then sheathed it.

Just like that, an Assault-class Honkai Beast is gone.

That's all...

"Sixteenth Squad reports: We have discovered a serpentine Honkai Beast. Its Honkai Energy... has exceeded the Emperor-class!"

Oh, Shesha has appeared.

"Seventeenth Squad reports, we have also discovered this Honkai Beast, and we may not be able to rendezvous with it."

"Twenty-first Squad reporting..."

Zhu Yufeng searched for the Third Law in the center of his field of vision, then opened the communication channel. "Second Squad, sniper in position."

He was waiting for instructions. In this situation, it was better to snipe at the same time, because if the person who fired first missed due to external factors, it might alert Lu Zi. In addition, in order to avoid Lu Zi's discovery, there were other squads responsible for clearing out the Honkai Beast in the area to attract Lu Zi's attention.

He looked through the scope at the Third Law, which was still unleashing its power. If the Third Law's lightning strike hit, it would be a near-death experience. But... putting aside your pitiful accuracy, are you just going to stand there and be a target? At least try to get close if you can't hit it!

I would call you the most shameful lawbreaker of the Previous Civilization. I haven't seen the first two, so they are not within the scope of this discussion.

I initially thought that the Fifth Law was the most shameful one, being torn apart by Qianjie Jie, but after seeing how strong Jie Ge, you'll realize that the Fifth Law wasn't so shameful after all... at least he wasn't killed by a hail of bullets like the Third Law.

Zhu Yufeng sighed as he pulled the trigger as instructed.

"Target hit, request permission to retrieve the third law." he reported.

Elysia stared blankly at the spot where the Third Ruler had fallen, and said, "Although I don't think her taste is very good, this ending is just too..."

Suddenly, urgent voices from other teams crackled through the communication channel. "The target Honkai Beast has exceeded our expectations! Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"

"Second Squad, take cover. We're coming to support you right away," Elysia replied. Seeing Zhu Yufeng looking over, she explained, "After all, I still don't really want to see a girl like you fall after being shot more than a dozen times..."

Zhu Yufeng packed up his sniper rifle and slung it over his shoulder. "Let's go then, let's go and meet Shesha."
