Chapter 136

Herrscher Ai Yue initially didn't take Cosmo seriously. Of course, he knew about Cosmo, but in his memory, this young kid was not a threat at all. Whether in terms of strength or anything else, he was far inferior to Kevin and the others.

A brat like this, so ignorant and arrogant, can be dealt with with just a wave of his hand... um?

Herrscher Ai Yue casually controlled his power, enveloping Cosmo, waiting for the next second to drain all the power from his body, and even lose his life.

But he immediately realized something was wrong, because the other party's movements did not slow down or stop due to the enhanced power effect; on the contrary, they accelerated even further.

The power was no longer effective against him?

With only a moment's hesitation, Cosmo crossed the final distance and arrived in front of Herrscher Ai Yue, his claws flashing coldly as he mercilessly swung them toward Ai Yue's throat.

At this distance, Herrscher Ai Yue could clearly see that he had no weapons in his hands, nor were they covered by armor—those incredibly ferocious, monstrous claws were his hands.

At the same time, a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling also enveloped the Herrscher Ai Yue.

It is familiar because it is his own power, but unfamiliar because it is the first time he has personally experienced the feeling of being enveloped by his own power.

You're using my power against me?

Despite the perilous situation for Herrscher Ai Yue, he still managed to laugh and take a small step back to dodge Cosmo's attack.

Not only that, he also grabbed the other person's shoulder and tried to push him to the ground.

Cosmo certainly wouldn't be pinned to the ground so easily, but the little power he possessed was no match for the true master of the power at this distance. Even if he used all his strength, he was only accelerating the rate at which his power was drained away.

"You're too naive, kid."

Herrscher Ai Yue revealed a cruel smile, "Why do you think I don't take you seriously? Evolution takes time. Do you think this little bit of time and materials will make you strong?"

"Of course I don't think so."

Cosmo spat out those words through gritted teeth, as if he were enduring immense pain—a pain not only inflicted by the Herrscher Ai Yue, but also emanating from within his own body. "So I've prepared another surprise for you!"

His words, nearing a beastly roar, finally snapped as Cosmo's reason crumbled. The instincts emanating from his Honkai Beast genes nearly overwhelmed him, unleashing an endless surge of power.

Under the astonished gaze of the Herrscher Ai Yue, the Cosmo, who was about to be pinned to the ground, began to twist and expand, and in almost an instant, it transformed into a dragon-shaped monster!

Driven by self-loathing for his own powerlessness and a burning desire to do something, Cosmo finally crossed the line between human and Honkai Beast, awakening the most powerful force belonging to Fused Warrior.

This is his Overweight Hypermutation.

Cosmo, transformed into a dragon, merely moved slightly before flinging Herrscher Ai Yue away. He raised his head to the sky and let out a deafening roar, followed by a torrent of light that engulfed Herrscher Ai Yue's figure.

This scene not only exceeded the expectations of the Herrscher Ai Yue, but also those of Kevin and the others.

"Cosmo?"

Kevin instinctively called out through the communication system, but Cosmo was already unable to respond. "What is he doing..."

"Wait a minute, Captain Kevin,"

Desdrobia said urgently, "Cosmo still retains some rationality, so let's not consider him an enemy yet!"

"Don't worry, it's just Overweight Hypermutation."

Sakura responded weakly, "Ai Yue has a way to solve this kind of thing."

"Don't worry, Cosmo still retains his sanity."

Aponia added, "He's just unable to communicate with everyone right now, but I'll take care of communicating with him."

"Huh?"

Desdrobia was taken aback. "Why do Miss Sakura and Miss Aponia know?"

"Let's talk about the specifics later,"

Elysia quickly drew everyone's attention back, "Don't let Cosmo's efforts go to waste, okay?"

"Understood. The original plan remains unchanged. We will coordinate our attack with Cosmo's movements."

Kevin nodded, quickly accepting the situation. "Elysia, cover me."

"Learn."

Elysia drew her bow and shot an arrow into the sky, saying, "Let's go!"

A dazzling crystal arrow flew in an arc from above towards Herrscher Ai Yue. At that moment, Herrscher Yue had just neutralized the light cannon attack from Cosmo and had not yet had time to retaliate when he looked up and saw an arrow explode above his head, turning into countless fragments that enveloped him directly.

However, such attacks were nothing more than harmless harassment to the Herrscher. He didn't even need to make any effort, and the rain of arrows evaporated in the blink of an eye.

However, just as he looked up, Kevin had already charged over with boundless chill. He raised his hand and unleashed a double attack of intertwined ice and fire!

A white light shone from the Herrscher Ai Yue's body, directly blasting Kevin and his attack away. The next second, a psychic force carrying rocks slammed down on him, forcing him to take another step back to avoid the rocks' attack range. However, the shadow of the Cosmo enveloped him again...

"Enough!"

The Fused Warrior coordinated perfectly, and their relentless attacks gave Herrscher Ai Yue no time to breathe. He couldn't even find an opening to counterattack. Every opening he thought he could exploit turned out to be a trap prepared for him by the enemy. If his abilities hadn't been able to exert a great deal of pressure on everyone present, he would probably be riddled with holes by now.

With a roar of unbearable fury from the Herrscher Ai Yue, pure white light spread wildly outwards from him, covering everything in its path. Cosmo was about to step forward when he was instantly enveloped by the white light and froze on the spot, as if he had turned into a statue.

"Do not come into contact with these lights!"

Aponia warned everyone in their minds, "Once enveloped, you will lose all your power!"

Aponia's warning was timely, but it couldn't keep up with the speed at which the light spread. Kevin and Desdrobia hesitated for a moment because they were worried about Cosmo before they were completely enveloped by the white field and turned into statues.

Elysia immediately fired her last specially made arrow, but even the arrow itself could not escape being enveloped by the white light. Seeing that the light was still spreading, she had no choice but to abandon her current position and move away with the others.

Fortunately, this anomaly did not last long. After the light enveloped an area of three kilometers in radius, it finally began to gradually fade away.

As the light receded, Kevin and the others returned to normal. Unfortunately, even someone as strong as Kevin lost all his fighting ability under this sudden attack. He lay on the ground, feeling his heartbeat gradually stopping.

Cosmo transformed back into human form and collapsed not far from him.

"Ha, you brought this on yourselves..."

Seeing the horrific state of his enemies, even though the Herrscher Ai Yue was not feeling well at the moment, he couldn't help but laugh. "Did you feel it? In the 'Absolute Silence Domain,' the feeling of life about to end is not pleasant, is it?"

This is his most powerful move. By compressing the power in the Herrscher Core in advance and then unleashing it all at once, he can create a pure white barrier with a diameter of about five kilometers. Within this barrier, all energy will dissipate and dissipate at the fastest speed, including the energy in the body of living beings.

If this domain could last any longer, Herrscher Ai Yue might even be able to kill Kevin and the others directly.

The reason he had been passively responding to everyone's attacks was to prepare for this move.

Unfortunately, due to the previous heavy consumption, the range and duration of this Absolute Silence Domain were affected, and it failed to achieve the expected goal. However, this was enough to render Kevin unable to fight.

While struggling to regain his strength, Herrscher Ai Yue was calculating in his mind.

Including Kalpas and Ying from before, there are very few Fused Warrior left who are capable of direct combat. As long as I can recover some of my strength, then I will have a chance...

"What are you thinking about?"

Just as the Herrscher Ai Yue was still pondering, a voice suddenly entered his ears. The Herrscher looked up alertly and saw an unexpected figure.

"Mobius?"

Herrscher Ai Yue frowned subconsciously as he looked at the figure before him. "What, even you're going to the battlefield?"

"Thanks to someone, otherwise why would I have suffered so much?"

Mobius smiled knowingly and said, "What, not welcome? Or are you afraid of me?"

The Herrscher Ai Yue remained silent, carefully observing the other person. He felt that the Mobius before him differed from the image he remembered.

Most importantly, everyone who appears here can be said to be part of Ai Yue's plan, and in the current situation, does Mobius's appearance here also represent Ai Yue's original will?

But now that even Kevin has fallen, what can Mobius, a mere office worker, do?

"I understand, you still don't understand why I'm here."

Mobius quickly found the answer in Herrscher Ai Yue's expression and couldn't help but smile, "Then that means you're not the real Ai Yue at all."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Herrscher Ai Yue frowned, but quickly gave up thinking about it. "Fine, killing you is just a piece of cake anyway."

"Then you're probably going to be disappointed."

Mobius shook his head. "Vill-V, don't just stand there, come out and help!"

Mobius was very calm at this moment. She knew very well that it would be difficult to break through the opponent's defense on her own, so she needed someone to help her create a breakthrough.

With almost everyone rendered unable to fight, there were very few people left to rely on.

A distant roar answered Mobius's words, and with the earth trembling, a five-meter-tall quadruped robot appeared in the Herrscher's sight.

Its entire body was crackling with electricity, making it look as if it was about to explode, and in fact, that was exactly what it was—in order to ensure that it could safely enter the Herrscher's domain without being paralyzed by the power halfway, Vill-V had obviously made its energy system go berserk.

With this layer of protection, coupled with its own field generator that can resist the Herrscher authority, even though the Herrscher had focused most of his attention on it, the robot still rushed in front of him because of its poor condition.

Even so, the Herrscher did not panic—because at this distance, he was confident that he could directly kill the robot along with its pilot... um?

The robot didn't make any unnecessary movements. Instead, it used its mechanical arm to firmly bind the Herrscher. Then, a scorching aura exploded inside it.

There was no pilot among them—anything that could sustain continuous combat was destined to be no match for the Eleventh Herrscher, so from the very beginning, Vill-V's intention was to have it self-destruct!

When the exasperated Herrscher once again used his power to block the close-range explosion, what appeared before him was a smiling Mobius.

How dare you get so close to me?

The Herrscher paused for a moment, then revealed a ferocious smile. His reason was now completely controlled by his rampaging emotions. When he saw Mobius appear less than a meter away from him, his first reaction was not "Does she have some tricks up her sleeve?" but "You're courting death."

However, Mobius did not give him any chance to react. The next second, her entire figure instantly turned into a pool of strange black matter, engulfing the Herrscher.

When Elysia returned to the scene after settling the others, there was nothing left.

112

Chapter 112 The plan is complete.

After the intense dizziness subsided, the Herrscher finally regained control of her body.

The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to try to expand his domain of power in order to protect himself.

However, what bewildered and terrified him was that he was unable to use his powers.

As the most powerful force and reliance in the hands of the Herrscher, power is not only the source of their confidence to act recklessly, but also the meaning of their existence. What difference is there between a Herrscher without power and a stray dog on the roadside?

But how exactly did Mobius do it?

After losing his powers, the Herrscher quickly calmed down. He looked around at his surroundings and began to think about the possible problems that might arise.

When he finally turned his attention to his surroundings, he discovered that the eeriness of the place far exceeded his imagination.

He was previously in the Australia wilderness, surrounded by dry land and weathered rocks, but now he is in a dark and desolate valley, with jagged, dark green peaks in the distance, and even the ground under his feet is black with a hint of green, which looks very strange.

The strangest thing is that the sky is pitch black and there is nothing there, but there is some kind of special light source that can illuminate the valley, which is obviously not normal.

Could this place... not be the real world?

Seeing this bizarre scene before him, and considering the fact that his powers had malfunctioned, a thought that even he himself found hard to believe gradually surfaced in the Herrscher's mind.

The power of the Herrscher is essentially a way to interfere with the laws of the real number space through Imaginary Singularity, thus exhibiting the characteristic of arbitrarily manipulating the laws of reality.

In other words, as long as the Imaginary Singularity can still connect the Imaginary Space and the real space, then even if the Herrscher is in the World Bubble of the Sea of Quantum, he can still use his powers.

Unless the place he is in is not the real world, and there are no rules of common sense.

"You've realized it now?"

The Herrscher's thoughts were still wandering when Mobius's voice abruptly interrupted them.

From the shadows in the distance, Mobius emerged unhurriedly. "Welcome to my world, little white mouse."

"Your world?"

The Herrscher frowned. Mobius's words confirmed his guess, but also made the Herrscher feel even more uneasy. "Where exactly is this place?"

"This is my Stigmata Space, a miraculous place that belongs neither to the real world nor the imaginary world."

Mobius chuckled. "Of course, you probably don't know what a 'Stigmata' is, right?"

Stigmata... Stigmata Project?

The Herrscher then remembered that such a plan did exist in Ai Yue's memory. However, he had no recollection of the specific details of the Stigmata Project, so he could not guess its contents based on the project's name alone.

However, now that things have come to this, he finds that he is not as excited as he had imagined.

"So, why did you bring me here?"

The Herrscher said, "If you wanted to kill me, you actually had many opportunities, right?"

"There are many ways to kill you, but that's not the outcome we want."

Mobius said, "I think you should understand the reasoning behind this very well."
