Hua's Inspiration Meme
The storm swept across the landscape, stripping everything from the earth, and the rising flames reduced it to scorched earth.
Fu Hua stared at the hellish scene before her, her beautiful face pale. Although she hadn't encountered many real enemies yet, her physical and mental strength had been severely depleted.
The girl glanced at Carole and Shiyu Qiluo, who were being kept alive in the medical pod behind her, and felt a heavy heart.
Before Kevin and the Herrscher of Flames were to settle their differences, she found a military ambulance in the vicinity containing two minimal life-sustaining medical bays, enough to sustain the two for the precious time needed for truly effective treatment.
After that, all we had to do was get away from Sydney as quickly as possible to avoid the biggest crisis, and then find the Moth to Fire branch to hand over the wounded, and we could have achieved our goal.
Before Fu Hua could even catch her breath, another terrifying natural disaster struck the outside world, causing the earth to tremble. The irresistible power of nature proclaimed its existence, as if a cleaner obeying the will of the gods was sweeping away the filth of the world with an overbearing attitude.
This natural disaster brought real suffering to every survivor in Sydney without exception.
Clearly, they were also within the cleanup area. The only fortunate thing was that, due to Kevin's deliberate relocation, this was only the edge of the disaster zone.
Furthermore, the previous tsunami submerged and destroyed most buildings, not only filtering out the sturdiness of the remaining structures but also providing a large amount of Seawater to the surface, causing the flames to show signs of weakening. This meant that things swirling around with the storm were still within their limits.
But this disaster was far more devastating than the previous tsunami in every sense. The nearby Seawater evaporated violently, turning into massive amounts of water vapor at temperatures high enough to kill people. This vapor, mixed with crimson flames, spread across the land. Coupled with the rampant winds and rolling stones, the living environment was extremely harsh.
The military ambulance that Fu Hua found was already in a dilapidated state. The fact that the medical compartment inside was still usable was purely a pleasant surprise. It was unrealistic to expect the material itself to alleviate the pressure, so she relied on her own manipulation of Honkai Energy to withstand almost all the harsh environments.
The essence of the Void Sword Qi is to manipulate the Honkai Energy between heaven and earth. Theoretically, if she can reach the legendary Taixu realm, it would not be surprising if she Honkai Energy.
However, the girl is currently unable to reach such a profound and mysterious realm, and the chaotic and volatile Honkai Energy extremely difficult for her to utilize at this stage.
This is also the core reason Honkai Energy during a tsunami consumes so much physical energy. Fu Hua has taken a few steps in the Clear Mirror Realm, but she is still far from the Void Realm. Reaching a higher level requires the accumulation of time and persistent cultivation.
In such an era, time itself is the greatest enemy.
As the girl watched the wind slowly subside and the flames gradually die down with the ebb and flow of the tide, her inner tension eased slightly. However, the high-temperature steam still emanating from the surrounding area and her basic caution kept her sword technique unchanged, continuing to maintain the Honkai Energy shield.
Fu Hua felt a mental fatigue creeping in; her eyes closed wearily, her lips moved slightly, and she murmured softly:
"We can't relax yet."
Sword techniques are created to better unleash moves; their essence is psychological suggestion embedded in the Mind Lake. As long as the corresponding technique is used, the corresponding ability can be used naturally.
At my current level, I can actually use all the moves of the Void Sword Qi perfectly without even drawing my sword. However, under the wear and tear of numerous natural disasters, this skill has become the key to saving precious energy.
Without this method of conserving mental energy, even if one barely survives the initial burst of potential energy and the harsh environment, one will become powerless against any subsequent unexpected events and battles.
However, once in such a predicament, hoping that Su Qing'an, who knows her own situation, will not come would instead be seen as willful and capricious.
Only taking risks and making efforts within one's own capabilities is a healthy way of thinking. Some ideas and beliefs often not only involve oneself, but also have a greater impact on other people who value themselves. And persistence based on this may not be an exaggeration to call it selfishness.
Fu Hua understood that there was nothing she could do for the other party right now, and that preserving her own life and staying away from this dangerous place was the only wise and feasible course of action.
Although it's frustrating and frustrating, that's just how life is. Helplessness is the norm, and things rarely go as planned. It's already good enough to recognize your own limits and not cause trouble for yourself or others.
At least for now, the dangers and perils that Fu Hua faces in trying to avoid causing trouble for others are a difficult challenge.
As the steam gradually dissipated, the girl finally released her grip on the sword, and the outer Honkai Energy shield crumbled into nothingness.
Fu Hua silently recited the Sword Heart Technique slightly cleared her weary mind. Then, she checked the two medical pods beside her. The screens showed that all functions were working normally, and the two people floating inside were also unharmed.
This good news brought a slight sense of relief to the little girl, who had previously focused all her energy on dealing with the external crisis, but had no time to pay attention to the condition of the internal medical ward.
Furthermore, the military ambulance, which was quite large, had previously flipped twice in the air, and the resulting impact was unpredictable, so she naturally couldn't help but feel worried.
Fu Hua operated the control panel of the medical pod, frowning as she looked at the red warning icon that appeared:
"The line connecting to the external power source is broken. Will it last for about three hours?"
That's enough, she thought.
The military ambulance was unable to start after the ordeal, and with Sydney's roads now rugged and uneven due to the disaster, she was destined to transport the two medical pods alone, even if the power lines to the external power source were intact.
The difficulty is self-evident. Although most of the Honkai Beast along the way probably died after encountering the same disaster, the intense Honkai Energy environment that followed became a breeding ground for them.
In this situation, it would be unwise for Fu Hua to leave Sydney alone, without any tools, taking Shiyu Qiluo and Carole, these two burdens.
Moreover, the cause of this disaster is quite intriguing, and has the battle in Sydney come to an end?
If the Seventh Herrscher is to win, then my current choice is to continuously lower my own lifespan.
But Fu Hua refused to give up. She had witnessed the departure of many old friends along the way, but each time she was powerless to do anything about it.
She had never had the chance or the right to save even one of them, but this time was different.
They were right before my eyes, barely breathing, their lives hanging by a thread, but if I could just take them to a safe area, they would be truly saved.
Yes, there is still a chance.
She would still have the chance to hear Qiluo clumsily playing the guitar and softly singing songs.
She also had the chance to see Pepper's smile as she showed off how exquisite her newly made jewelry was.
Fu Hua can still be with them, still listen to the melodious sound of summer wind chimes swaying, still gaze at the vast sky; still go to see a movie, still visit an art exhibition; still plan and design travel itineraries, just like she imagined in Canghai City, leaving her mark in places she likes...
This is an extremely precious treasure, an irreplaceable friend, and an unyielding bottom line.
Perhaps no one can truly understand the genuine joy that Fu Hua felt when she saw the two of them still alive.
It's like glimpsing a lost treasure in a vast, boundless wilderness; even the most composed person would find it hard to suppress the joy of finding something lost again.
Using her Honkai Energy, the girl dragged the two medical pods out. She stepped into the still-scalding Seawater and silently made her way towards the edge of Sydney.
She thought that such an apocalypse was really lonely and desolate, so compared to the time she would face losing friends later, the dangers and suffering she was in now were nothing.
Fu Hua thought that she could never be as mature as the captain, but then she thought that perhaps living would allow her to see the future for them, which was just a way of comforting Himeko.
If the same situation were presented to that person, she might make the exact same choice.
Regardless of the circumstances, Fu Hua will not choose to give up or back down.
The girl crossed the rugged, steep road, gazed at the city ruins, and murmured:
"Captain... are you alright?"
If Himeko were nearby, even in such a dangerous time, I probably wouldn't be able to suppress that naturally occurring sense of security.
She believed that person wouldn't die so easily, even under such a natural disaster, but worrying about it was still inevitable.
In the hellish realm where Herrscher recklessly squander their power, Himeko is no different from an unarmed child if she gets close to the epicenter of the recent calamity.
The trust and certainty lingering in my chest seem excessively pale in the face of the fission bomb-like explosion.
But when that familiar figure slowly came into view, Fu Hua could not sense any joy or happiness at the reunion.
The girl gazed at the red-haired woman slowly approaching from afar, her lips moving but remaining silent.
She was spotless, her black skirt swaying gently in the wind, and her eyes were like clear Amber, without impurities or emotion.
That extremely familiar, Fierce Wave was crystal clear to me, even without the Little Feather nervously shielding me from view.
The Herrscher.
Himeko, the captain of the Fifth Squad of the Moth to Fire, has become the Seventh Herrscher.
Without lingering thoughts or internal struggles, Fu Hua understood that her path had come to an end.
Whether the Herrscher of Flames suffered severe injuries or was even more desperately unharmed, she could kill the being before her with ease, wielding that world-destroying power.
Himeko glanced at the silent Fu Hua and the two medical bays behind her, her slender fingers casually rubbing together, and snapped her fingers under the trembling gaze of the person in front of her.
The crisp sound echoed and faded away, but nothing happened.
Fu Hua only saw the snap as a means of attack, unaware of the actions her opponent was about to take.
The Herrscher of Flames had no interest in flaunting her immense power before ants. She wanted to kill Kevin still had a chance of surviving, before her life countdown reached zero. To this end, she was patrolling the city, sensing any remaining signs of life.
The others encountered along the way were all killed by direct manipulation of their powers, which accelerated the molecular processes of their bodies to their limits, and then burned them to death from the inside out.
By the time Himeko reached Fu Hua, her life force had plummeted to the point where her connection with the Herrscher Core was beginning to break. Even though she could still freely use her powers, she could no longer control them precisely.
Otherwise, the two wounded soldiers in the medical bay would have been reduced to [Ashes] the instant the fingers were snapped.
Even Fu Hua, who had a few scattered attempts to resist, could only hold out for a few more seconds, and the outcome was no different.
These girls knew perfectly well what was going on, but were powerless to do anything about it. They thought the world was as hateful as ever.
It will always take away things from you in various ways, without caring about the pain and sorrow of having your flesh and blood ripped out.
For some reason, as she faced death, she recalled her conversation with Himeko at the orphanage that day.
Who knows what the future holds? Only the living have the right to see it.
[Perhaps whether it's the me of then, the me of now, or the me of the future, I will always strive to live with the thought of witnessing the future for those people.]
[Hua, Qiluo, Peipo.]
Even if it's just to witness that future for those who can't see it, let's try to live on.
Himeko, who earnestly gave them advice that day, has now become a mindless Herrscher under the influence of Honkai will, and is subjecting them to death and annihilation.
The passage of time is a perfect example of how things change. The people of that time and the present are now forced to shift their ironic positions under the manipulation of the gods.
Death?
Fu Hua thought that she wasn't actually afraid, just like the soldiers who had survived six months on the battlefield.
The more we understand the current state of the world, the more we realize how unattainable so-called hope truly is.
Everyone knows that even if humanity does achieve final victory, they probably won't live to see the dawn break through the clouds.
Yet many people still risk their lives and fight valiantly for it.
She realized that she wasn't actually that noble; she had simply followed the natural course of the vast sea of humanity, joining the tide of life on that path.
Captain Himeko is different; she truly carries the weight of all the beloved deceased on her shoulders, transforming them into a legacy to move forward.
She wants to witness the dawn breaking through the clouds for those people, and she is working hard to pave the way for it.
In the end, such a person became an accomplice to the Honkai, becoming Herrscher. For Himeko, this was undoubtedly a more torturous end than death.
As a witness, Fu Hua not only cannot stop her from going deeper into the abyss, but will also become nourishment for her on this path.
The Herrscher of Flames is a monster devoid of reason and intellect; she cannot comprehend the fear of death, and therefore, she is unmoved by the signs of life fading away.
What does it matter if you can't control it precisely?
Simply use a different method.
For Herrscher, the brutal Honkai Energy is an extremely simple matter.
Honkai Energy particles separate and rotate, their power driving collisions and acceleration, thus painting the world with pure white flames, creating a massive coverage that leaves no escape.
But the girl never intended to run away. The chances of surviving a direct confrontation with a Herrscher were absurdly low, and she couldn't possibly escape from a monster that could outrun any vehicle.
She silently drew her sword, making her stance clear.
The air nearby was instantly sucked out, and the resulting suffocating feeling and the scorching temperature of the armor seemed like a prelude to death.
Fu Hua thought that this feeling was somewhat familiar.
It was like the day I entered the realm of the Mind's Eye's eye.
In the sweltering summer, after finishing her boxing practice, she sat under a tree, gazing at the azure sky, eating ice jelly from a porcelain bowl. As she chewed on the almonds inside, she inexplicably felt her mind go blank. The boxing techniques and movements she had just practiced were all jumbled up in her consciousness, weaving together into a picture.
Since then, learning boxing has become increasingly easier.
The attainment of the Mind's Eye's eye is so natural that it seems there's nothing to pursue in the first place.
She thought the emptiness created by this forced suffocation was similar, but the choice she should make now was even more similar.
There's no need to think or despair; there's no need to worry or grieve.
Everything seemed very simple at that age.
Since they can neither win nor escape, yet still refuse to submit to slaughter, then let them draw their swords.
The specific moves of the Void Sword Qi consist of four lines: Guard, Transform, Activate, and Open, totaling twenty-one moves.
But for some reason, in the brief moments of mental blankness, she did not use any of the moves.
The sword, made of soul steel, danced across the desolate yet scorching world, tracing a seemingly ordinary arc that, incredibly, once again disrupted the already chaotic arrangement of Honkai Energy particles in the space, splitting the pure white world... in two.
Su Qing'an once taught Fu Hua the Inch Heart Fist, the essence of Inch Heart Fist is the most mysterious inspirational Meme.
When she finds her own inspirational Meme, then whether it's fist or sword, there will be no difference.
With his swordsmanship, Clear Mirror Sword Heart controlled the Honkai Energy that had been thrown out of his control, gathering it into one place and unleashing a massive sword aura as vast as mountains and seas.
But the next second...
The Herrscher of Flames extended her fingertip and flicked it into dust.
