Herrscher of Reason? Are You Sure You Want to Be My Enemy? / Miss Eden Had Mixed Feelings... ...

None

Chapter 377: The Herrscher of Reason? Are you sure you want to be my enemy?

"Oh no, if this continues, we won't be able to hold on much longer!"

Meanwhile, at the concert venue, the Fifth Squad is resisting the Honkai Beast attacking from all sides under the protection of the shield!

Outside the shield, almost everyone was trapped in a dream. The only people still conscious in the entire arena were the Fifth Squad and Eden!

"Hua, how long can your shield last?"

Himiko, as the captain, asked Hua, who was standing beside her.

"When Ling Xi gave it to me, she said it could last for about half an hour, but..."

Hua glanced at the test results and said, "The Honkai Energy too strong. At this rate, it will probably only last five minutes at most."

This is an energy device designed by Mobius to defend against Honkai Energy erosion. The inspiration for it comes from the energy shield that Ling Xi used when dealing with scorpions on the Mu Continent. It can resist the erosion of Honkai Energy to a certain extent!

However, this thing consumes a lot of energy and must be powered by Honkai Energy, so it cannot be deployed on a large scale at present. The defensive device of the Fifth Squad was given to Hua by Ling Xi!

"Damn it, if this keeps up..."

At this moment, Himiko felt somewhat helpless. Under such intense Honkai Energy radiation, once the energy shield was gone, she and the three others with Honkai Energy Adaptability exceeding 100 HW might be able to hold out for a while, but...

Eden will instantly become just like the people outside!

"Himiko, you... should evacuate."

At this moment, Eden spoke up, smiling bitterly, "If you evacuate now, you might still have a chance to leave this place, but me... hehe, anyway, you should evacuate as soon as possible and don't worry about me."

Eden knew very well that under this level of Honkai, he had no chance of survival. After all, he was just an ordinary person, so...

Rather than let the Fifth Squad sacrifice themselves for us, it's better to let them evacuate while they still have the ability to resist. Otherwise... the only outcome will be that they will perish with us.

"Ha, what a joke!"

Himiko refused, laughing, "I am Fused Warrior fighting against the Honkai. If I were to desert my post at a time like this, it would be an insult to me!"

As she spoke, Himiko her sword and killed a Honkai Beast, while simultaneously working with the team to eliminate the ever-approaching Honkai Beast!

"Wow, what an unexpected surprise..."

Suddenly, an unidentified object floated down from the sky. Yes, it was an unidentified object, because whether it was Hua, Eden, or Himiko, when everyone looked at the target, they all seemed to be affected by some kind of impression, unable to see the other party's appearance clearly, and could only see a blurry unidentified object.

"This guy..."

The moment Himiko saw the other party, she subconsciously knew that the other party was extremely dangerous, and immediately shouted, "Everyone, be on guard!"

"Heh, I have no interest in insects, but..."

The unidentified object looked at Eden and laughed, "I didn't expect to meet you here. Well then, let me personally escort you away!"

As he spoke, the Honkai Energy in the air increased several times over, the shield shattered instantly, and the powerful Honkai Energy aura was about to engulf the Fifth Squad and Eden, with the strongest energy heading straight for Eden!

"Bang!"

At that very moment, a crimson figure descended from the sky, directly blocking everyone's path. With a casual flick of his wrist, a ball of flame energy dispelled the black, corrosive energy!

"Phew, thank goodness!"

Clearly, this crimson figure is Ling Xi, who has activated the Flame Herrscher Core, and is holding a pink fairy in her arms!

Because Ling Xi has absolute control over the Flame Herrscher Core, she can naturally contain the energy completely when using the power of the Herrscher of Flamescion. Therefore, she doesn't have to worry about harming the people around her, and it's even okay to touch them directly. This is why Elysia always wants to play with the fire!

"Who are you..."

Upon seeing Ling Xi, the unidentified object immediately became alert, sensing an incredibly powerful aura emanating from her, an aura no weaker than her own. At the same time...

Her instincts told her that the other person was one of her own kind!

"Eighth Herrscher, leave this place."

Ling Xi put Elysia down and looked directly at the unidentified object in the air, saying, "I won't interfere with the others in this city, but you can't touch these people here!"

At this moment, Ling Xi naturally knew the other party's identity. Without a doubt, it was the legendary Eighth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Reason!

"Heh, I thought so, but it turns out you're the traitor."

Meanwhile, the Eighth Herrscher had also learned of Ling Xi's information and laughed, "Why should I listen to you? Do you think you can order me around?"

Instantly, the Eighth Herrscher amplified the intensity of Honkai Energy, making it almost impossible for everyone to breathe. As a result, apart from Ling Xi and Elysia, no one present was able to stand up!

"Smack!"

Ling Xi decisively unleashed his power, creating a protective bubble for Elysia and the others behind him. Then, he fully unleashed his power of the Law of Herrscher of Flamescion, chanting, "What, do you... want to be my enemy?"

"You..."

The Eighth Herrscher suddenly felt somewhat unsure, after all, the opponent's power... was greater than her own, and... direct combat was not her forte!

"Roll!"

Ling Xi had already drawn the mimicry of the Heavenly Fire: Extinguisher. If the other party wanted to cause trouble, then he would let them know that some people are not to be trifled with!

"Hmph, if you dare interfere with me again next time, I won't be so polite!"

Finally, the Eighth Herrscher uttered a harsh statement and then disappeared into thin air. The Honkai Energy intensity in the surrounding area returned to its previous normal level. Of course, the normal level here refers to the level compared to the outside, but the Honkai Energy intensity is still around 500HW. An ordinary person exposed to this environment would die almost instantly!

"Whoosh..."

Seeing the Eighth Herrscher leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the members of the Fifth Squad, who all felt as if they had escaped a disaster, because...

The oppressive force of the Eighth Herrscher just now was truly suffocating!

"Call..."

Meanwhile, Eden also breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought he was really going to say goodbye to the world here today, and he had even prepared himself for it. However...

Eden silently watched Ling Xi and Elysia. Well, he finally understood what Elysia had said a few days ago. Someone was willing to face the Herrscher for her sake. How could he not feel anything under such circumstances?

While I knew of the Herrscher's power, I didn't think I would lack courage in the face of Herrscher. However...

Through his own experience, Eden finally understood that when facing Herrscher, it wasn't a matter of courage, but rather... a matter of having absolutely no thought of resistance!

Under the pressure of Herrscher, forget about courage; just standing there without being scared to death would be a feat...

However, this powerful Herrscher was dramatically scared away by Ling Xi in the end...

Chapter 378: Miss Eden's feelings are complicated...

"Waaah..."

Actually, not only the Fifth Squad and Eden, but Ling Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, because to be honest... unless necessary, she still didn't want to have a conflict with the Herrscher, since it wouldn't be fun if the deal was broken.

Fortunately, the other party eventually backed out on their own.

Ling Xi deactivated her simulated weapon and looked back at everyone. She found that, apart from Elysia, everyone else was either sitting or kneeling on the ground. There was no way they could withstand the pressure of a fully-fledged Herrscher!

Therefore, Ling Xi decisively walked towards the group, intending to help them up, since this was still the territory of the Eighth Herrscher, and they had to leave as soon as possible!

"Waaah..."

Seeing Ling Xi walking towards her, Eden also planned to reach out and help. After all, the sensation from that scene was too intense, and even now her legs still felt weak. It would be best if someone could help her at this time.

So Eden slowly extended his right hand, preparing...

"Hua, are you alright?"

However, Ling Xi stopped directly beside Hua, gently helped her up, and smiled, "The Eighth Herrscher has left for now. We'll be safe for the time being once we leave Canghai City."

Eden "..."

"Um... thank you, Ling Xi."

Hua also showed a slightly strained smile, and had some scratches on his body, all from the battle with the Honkai Beast!

"My dear Eden, are you alright?"

Fortunately, Elysia was quite capable. She decisively helped Eden up and said with a smile, "It's alright now. The Eighth Herrscher has been chased away by my Ling Xi."

Eden "..." I know it's yours, but you don't need to remind me, do you?

However, Eden was too lazy to complain at this point, and simply laughed and said, "By the way, what are you doing here? Didn't you move to Europe?"

"Hehe, of course it's Ling Xi who brought me out on vacation."

Elysia proudly said, "After moving to Europe, I got a little bored, and then Ling Xi very thoughtfully took me out to play by myself. I never expected it to be such a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence."

Eden smiled helplessly. Well, it was quite a coincidence, but he really didn't want it to be such a coincidence unless absolutely necessary.

After holding a concert in Changkong City, the Changkong City Honkai. She then went to Oceania, held a new concert there, and then Oceania was razed to the ground by the Herrscher of Wind. After that...

I wanted to go to the Far East for a benefit performance, but... before I even got there, the Far East was burned to the ground, and now...

Eden felt that this Honkai might be somewhat working against him...

"Miss Eden, how are you feeling? Are you experiencing any discomfort?"

At this moment, Ling Xi also came to Eden's side. Ling Xi was quite concerned about this big star, after all, he was the future Flame-Chasing Moths, and also the only Flame-Chasing Moths she liked, besides Sakura, in the Elysian Realm!

Of course, this doesn't mean I don't trust Elysia; it's just that Elysia's attitude is a bit hard to completely trust!

"I feel a little... breathless."

Eden glanced at Ling Xi with a hint of resentment, but he didn't stand on ceremony and honestly explained his situation. After all, although he wasn't afraid of death, it didn't mean he wanted to die. In such a dangerous place, it would be better to have Ling Xi help him a little.

"It's because of the Honkai..."

Ling Xi instantly understood Eden's situation, and then extended her right hand towards Eden, saying, "Miss Eden, give me your hand."

"I told you, just call me Eden..."

Eden smiled slightly, obediently extending his right hand, which Ling Xi then grasped, and then...

It felt like a warm current entered my body, instantly dispelling the fear that the Eighth Herrscher had instilled in me. This was...

"Elysia, what about you?"

Just as Eden was about to say something, Ling Xi let go. After all, it was better not to cause trouble in front of his wife.

As for how he addressed Elysia, because of their time together these past few days, although he didn't know why, their relationship felt more intimate than before, even more so than before. Ling Xi occasionally used the name "Elysia" to refer to Elysia, because...

Well, those two words sound more intimate, and...

The name Elysia always feels...

Autumn... cough cough, autumn is almost here, then I can take Elysia to the orchard to pick some fruit!

"Something's wrong!"

Elysia decisively hugged Ling Xi and whined, "Ling Xi, the Eighth Herrscher is so scary, I'm so afraid..."

Ling Xi: "..." You didn't even blink when the Eighth Herrscher released her energy!

"Alright!"

However, Ling Xi, who always puts his wife first, still injected a little bit of gentle Honkai Energy into Elysia. This can give people with low Honkai Energy Adaptability and ordinary people a certain amount of Honkai Energy Adaptability for a period of time, but for someone like Elysia whose Honkai Energy Adaptability is close to 1800HW, it can only be considered as charging at most!

However, even so, Elysia was still very happy!

"Elysia, Eden, we should leave!"

Although everyone was temporarily saved, Ling Xi knew that the danger was not over yet. After all, the entire Canghai City was now enveloped by the omnipotence of the Eighth Herrscher, so... at least they had to evacuate Canghai City to be considered barely safe!

Fortunately, while the Eighth Herrscher could affect human minds, it had no effect on machines. Therefore, protected by the energy barrier released by Ling Xi, the group quickly evacuated Canghai City aboard the Fifth Squad's airship. As for the others in Canghai City ...

Ling Xi could only express his helplessness. Putting aside the question of whether he could even intervene, the key issue was that he couldn't help at all. His attack methods were all physical or energy-based, and he was truly powerless to assist the Eighth Herrscher, whose attacks were mental or soul-based.

"Doctor, we've just received new intelligence!"

In the European headquarters laboratory, Klein received new information. "The energy fluctuations of the Eighth Herrscher and the Seventh Herrscher both appeared in Canghai City, and then disappeared one after the other in less than thirty seconds. The Honkai Energy of the entire city is now around 500 HW!"

"The Seventh Herrscher..."

Upon hearing this news, Mobius also showed a strange expression. Thirty seconds... well, obviously that guy didn't instantly kill the Eighth Herrscher, after all, he had a secret deal with Him, so...

The most likely explanation is that... that guy displayed the power of the Seventh Herrscher and then forced the Eighth Herrscher to retreat!

Chapter 379: Canghai City, Nuclear Peace?

Meanwhile, the fifth squad's airship successfully returned to headquarters, and Mobius immediately sought out Ling Xi to inquire about the Eighth Herrscher...

"Ling Xi, it seems that the Eighth Herrscher did not cause too much damage. At this stage, only Canghai City has been affected. It seems that everyone in Canghai City has fallen into some kind of slumber."
