The Final Choice!
"Fifth Squadron reporting, the fighter jets are ready to move at any time!"
"Eighth Squad reports: Target located, ready to engage!"
As the various teams reported, the Fourth Herrscher also appeared in the remote camera's view. The girl who was the Fourth Herrscher still had her green hair.
When she arrived at the coastal city, she was delighted to find that there were still people in the city who had not evacuated.
"Hehe... This is really interesting!"
Rarely seeing a group of living humans, she didn't immediately wipe them out. Instead, she slowly approached, preparing to summon Honkai Beast to play a cat-and-mouse game.
"Come forth, my retinue!"
Upon approaching the city, the girl summoned Honkai Beast without hesitation and then sat in the sky watching the show.
"Whoosh!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out, and a missile struck her. Of course, under the influence of her powers, the missile attack was completely useless!
"Whoosh..."
Following closely behind were two of humanity's most advanced fighter jets, which opened fire directly on the Fourth Herrscher, and two missiles were launched again.
"Snort."
The Fourth Herrscher casually waved her hand, and then the two missiles were blown away by the hurricane, finally losing their balance and crashing to the ground.
After all, even if her powers could evade attacks, it would still require Honkai Energy and mental strength as a price. A casual wave of her hand would only consume a little Honkai Energy, so she would naturally choose the simpler method!
However, even so, the two fighter jets had no intention of withdrawing and continued to fire at the Fourth Herrscher.
"Annoying flies!"
The girl seemed to be annoyed by the two flies, so she flew into the air and tried to get rid of them.
"Ocean One has spotted the target and locked onto it. We are ready to fire at any time!"
The moment the Fourth Herrscher rose into the aircraft carrier's field of vision, it locked onto the Fourth Herrscher!
However, the Fourth Herrscher was still moving at this moment, so this was not the best time to fire, after all... there was only one chance!
Finally, when the Fourth Herrscher reached a certain height, it suddenly stopped and spread its wings, seemingly preparing to summon a storm!
"Fire!"
Headquarters issued the order to open fire directly...
"Whoosh!"
Subsequently, the Plasma Space Cannon released a powerful electromagnetic force, directly shooting a stream of blue plasma towards the Fourth Herrscher...
Meanwhile, the Fourth Herrscher, who was about to summon a storm, also sensed a dangerous aura, but she was constantly activating her powers, so she was completely unaware...
"Ahhh..."
In an instant, a beam of blue plasma pierced through her chest...
The plasma, reaching temperatures of millions of degrees Celsius, combined with the power granted by the Space Core, ultimately pierced through the Fourth Herrscher...
Unfortunately, due to the need to ensure speed, range, and accuracy, the plasma could not be loaded in large quantities; otherwise, it might have been able to melt the Fourth Herrscher directly.
However, hitting the Fourth Herrscher in the chest like this should be considered a success, right? After all, even if she doesn't die, she'll be seriously injured after this shot. As soon as the Fourth Herrscher falls, the ambushing combat squads around her will rush over to finish her off, regardless of whether she's dead or alive!
As for capturing him alive... Goodness, you really dare to dream of that?
However, the reality is that, let alone finishing off the Fourth Herrscher, she couldn't even fall down. Although the plasma weapon hit the Fourth Herrscher's chest, it seems it missed her heart, so...
Although the Fourth Herrscher was injured, she was not seriously damaged.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, it hurts... it hurts so much, you damn humans!"
The Fourth Herrscher turned her gaze directly to the direction from which the light was coming, and then rushed towards the target point, appearing not far from the aircraft carrier in less than five seconds!
"All fighter jets, take off immediately!"
Fortunately, the fighter jet carrying the Space Core had already taken off and was moving away from this place, while the remaining fighter jets also took off one after another, trying to buy time for the fighter jet carrying the Space Core!
"Aaaaaaah..."
As a result, the Fourth Herrscher simply let out a howl and casually summoned a gust of wind, which blew several fighter jets directly into the sea.
The next second, the Fourth Herrscher appeared on the aircraft carrier's deck. She didn't immediately destroy the carrier, but instead intended to examine the weapon that could harm her, and...
She wanted to know who created it!
Meanwhile, the soldiers on the aircraft carrier completely surrounded the Fourth Herrscher, each of them armed!
"Fire!"
At a command, all kinds of firearms fired directly, but when they hit the Fourth Herrscher, the bullets seemed to deflect, passing right past her without causing her any harm.
"Smack!"
The Fourth Herrscher simply snapped her fingers, and countless wind blades descended from the sky, instantly turning everyone's weapons into scrap metal.
"Whoosh..."
The Fourth Herrscher approached the space cannon, a hint of doubt in her eyes. "Is this what hurt me? How could a human have such an ability?"
"Hmm? Spatial power..."
Suddenly, the Fourth Herrscher sensed spatial power. No wonder, no wonder humans could hurt themselves!
"Bang!"
The Fourth Herrscher destroyed the space cannon directly, but failed to find the Space Core. It seems that it has been moved by humans.
"What about the Space Core?"
The Fourth Herrscher looked at the soldiers around her and said, "Tell me, and I won't make things difficult for you."
Of course, no one spoke up, and no one dared to speak up.
"Whoosh..."
Without hesitation, the Fourth Herrscher floated into the air and headed towards the coastal city without looking back.
Just as people were slightly surprised and thought they had escaped a disaster, countless wind blades slanted down, and in an instant, everyone and the entire aircraft carrier were turned into sieves. In the end, everyone perished in the ocean...
Chapter 238: The Final Choice!
With the complete annihilation of the aircraft carrier fleet, the world fell silent. The host of the live broadcast was speechless, finally managing to say, "Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that humanity's efforts have failed..."
"However, please don't panic. After all, we still have the hero who defeated the Herrscher in Changkong City. He is our last hope!"
Ling Xi: "???"
Mobius: "???"
"What happened? Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"
At the Flame-Chasing Moths, Mobius appeared somewhat angry. He had clearly stated that Ling Xi would not participate in the war, and although he knew that Ling Xi was inevitable given the circumstances, but...
Their actions of acting without her consent and asking questions later made her very unhappy; it was clearly a way of coercing Ling Xi.
"Dr. Mobius, now that things have come to this, do you think humanity has any way out?"
Faced with a somewhat angry Mobius, no one refuted him; they simply asked such a simple question. If it were before, humanity might have had a fighting chance, but now...
Humanity has missed its best chance to destroy the Fourth Herrscher, and the Plasma Space Cannon has also been destroyed. Although the Space Core has been preserved, it will take time to build the next plasma cannon!
More importantly... after the Fourth Herrscher suffered a loss once, it's unlikely that she'll find such a good opportunity again.
"Report, news has arrived from a coastal city in Oceania..."
Suddenly, the liaison officer gave a report.
"Bring them in!"
The speaker immediately let him in, and then...
The crowd then saw a scene of devastation. Under the attack of the Herrscher of Wind, the entire city had been reduced to ashes, and all the combat teams that had been lying in ambush in and around the city, as well as those who had remained in the city as bait, had perished...
Thus, the operation ended in complete failure, resulting in the loss of thousands of combat troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians.
"Whoosh..."
Even after destroying the city, the Herrscher of Wind's anger hadn't completely subsided. She truly hadn't expected that such insignificant humans could actually harm her. Luckily, the attack hadn't hit her head, otherwise...
"Humans..."
In her heart, her hatred for humanity had reached its peak, although there was basically no room for this hatred to grow any further!
Moreover, she desperately wanted to know the whereabouts of the Space Core, which was the only thing that could pose a threat to her. If she could get her hands on the Space Core or destroy it completely, then no one in the entire world would be able to rival her!
The problem now is that we don't know the whereabouts of the Space Core, and if humanity uses it to create space weapons again, it will still pose a threat to us, so...
She was feeling a bit irritable.
"Um?"
Suddenly, as if sensing something, she immediately placed one hand on her chest and bowed respectfully...
"So that's how it is..."
Then, she listened attentively, smiled, and said very respectfully, "I understand, Your Majesty. I will immediately retrieve Your Majesty's power for you."
Then, the smile on her face disappeared, and she picked up a combat squad's communication device to check Mobius's information...
"Mobius, the Space Core..."
Then, the Fourth Herrscher flew directly into the air, issuing an order to all Honkai Beast to destroy everything, before quickly flying towards the capital of the Mu Continent...
"Go out for a walk? Like... have a heart-to-heart talk with your Doctor or something."
At home, looking at the silent Ling Xi, Elysia smiled and offered her suggestion, "After all, no matter how fast the Herrscher of Wind is, it will still take at least a week for her to spread the destructive area here."
"Okay, fine."
Ling Xi didn't refuse. After instructing Seele and Ling to stay home obediently, she and Elysia drove to the headquarters of the Flame-Chasing Moths, because Ling Xi had realized that humans...
They probably have no more cards left to play.
"Um?"
"Swoosh..."
Shortly after entering the highway, Elysia slammed on the gas pedal, because...
Ahead was a dense crowd, and upon seeing Elysia's car, they all surged forward, creating a scene reminiscent of a zombie movie...
"You owe money outside?"
Ling Xi asked Elysia half-jokingly.
Elysia "..."
"How much money do I owe?"
Elysia just rolled her eyes at Ling Xi. There must be tens of thousands of people here. But she was also very curious about what this group of people wanted to do.
After Elysia stopped, the crowd surged toward the two of them, clearly... their destination really seemed to be here.
"Ling Xi, is there someone behind you too?"
Elysia had originally planned to turn back, but she found that there were also many people standing behind her, and the two of them were completely surrounded.
"Elysia, stay by my side."
Ling Xi immediately became alert. After giving Elysia a brief reminder, she got out of the car with her.
Although there were many people in front of him, he felt no fear whatsoever. If they weren't looking for trouble, that would be fine, but if they were, then...
I don't mind showing a little strength!
"Lord Ling Xi..."
However, the crowd in front of them, and the crowd behind them, suddenly knelt down and kept shouting, "Please, save this world..."
"Hero, save us!"
"Now we can only rely on you..."
