Chapter 87
The Seven Thunders of Retribution, who had not participated in the battle until now, finally joined the battlefield at this moment. Sakura, who had set up a sniping position at the farthest point, seized this fleeting perfect opportunity!
The bullet pierced the air, and before the sound arrived, it should have pierced the Herrscher's body, causing the opponent to freeze for a moment.
In a flash
Elysia's figure flashed by, and with a deft deflection at a precise angle, she sent the deadly bullet veering off course and into the distant ruins. After accomplishing this, the Ceremonial Sword vanished, and she nodded slightly, one hand elegantly clasped behind her back.
Although she didn't hear the other person speak, Sakura seemed to read the shape of Faded Elysia's lips, "Long time no see, Sakura."
There was no time to complain. After revealing her location, she hurriedly grabbed the Seven Thunders of Retribution and lunged to the side. The arrow mercilessly pierced through the spot where she had just been, followed by a violent explosion.
"Huh? Elysia, you weren't doing so well against Herrscher, how come you're so strong against your own people?"
Meanwhile, Kevin's newbie perks have ended.
"I thought you were going to be invincible like Elysia in the third level."
Taking advantage of Kevin being held back by Great Freedom Heaven, An Yu seized the opportunity to leap over, the black mist swirling around the blade.
In the third level, Elysia made him depressed, slapped his own Companion Beast Mobius to death, and shattered the Great Dividing Range with a second slap.
Why is it now three against one for you?
Kevin withstood the blow, and the weakness in his body made him frown, but as a Fusion Warrior, the Herrscher of Death's attacks were no longer as deadly as before.
But, it just evolved and it's already fighting An Yu, Great Freedom Heaven, and Black Seele?
Faded Elysia wasn't idle either; she seemed to be constantly looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Huh? I just wanted to beat An Yu once! Kevin has given up on beating her this time.
"Elysia!" An Yu suddenly called out softly at the moment the blades were locked in a stalemate.
The arrow grazed An Yu's cheek, and just as Kevin's old power faded and new power had not yet emerged, the arrow pierced through his chest. Even the ice crystals covering him could not change the outcome.
An Yu sheathed his longsword. Well, to put it simply, the human civilization in the level seemed to Jiu like a stupid demon king who kept sending his minions to their deaths to raise the villain's level.
And he is a brave warrior who constantly upgrades and accumulates experience.
"It seems that not everyone can enjoy Fairy Miss's flowers."
Faded Elysia sighed softly, a hint of regret in her eyes, but the battle wasn't over yet; she should have already won.
Kevin clenched his fist, feeling the cold, hard, and sharp claws.
His vision collapsed, hard bone spurs gradually protruded beneath his skin, and his human body began to twist and turn into a beast. When he abandoned everything, his potential was no longer Binding.
The Demonic Form of Collapse, Resolve to Freeze All Things.
Kevin roared, "Kalpas!"
Now!
Ice and fire, two incredibly pure forces, erupted at opposite ends of the city. In order to improve combat power as quickly as possible, Kalpas, who was still unable to recover well after the collapse, had not appeared due to the need for unpredictability.
This is their ultimate combination move.
"The Glory of the Nameless!"
Sakura, who had been running around in the distance, finally found her chance. Seven Thunders of Retribution of Purification beyond its limit once again, even though it would cause irreversible damage to the weapon.
A bolt of lightning, imbued with all her faith and power, struck first and then merged with the torrent of ice and fire!
An Yu:...
Faded Elysia:...
Black Seele:...
Faded Elysia glanced at An Yu one last time. She didn't understand what An Yu was pretending to be, insisting on giving humans a chance?
Three completely different forces collided, and after a brief pause, the violent shockwave leveled hundreds of miles around, the sea surged, and the sea level receded by tens of meters before crashing against the shore again.
"You won? You won?"
After an unknown amount of time, Vill-V poked her head out of the underground air-raid shelter that had never completely collapsed.
Aponia, without even wiping the blood from her face, quickly covered Vill-V's mouth.
These two words are absolutely forbidden to be said!
"Cough, cough!"
An Yu pushed aside the corpse on her body, whose remains she didn't know. The broken body quickly reformed, the shattered bones and flesh rapidly solidifying and repairing itself according to the predetermined blueprint.
"Kevin is the main character, but even if he's not, he's still a very important person. His talent is just too incredible."
He sat inside the pit, surrounded by ice crystals, yet the surging groundwater did not seep in at all.
"Kevin is a very important research subject. Although my older sister always says they're having the same dream, Kevin must be special too."
Go back and see if you can trick Kevin, and try to study that special genetic component in his body.
An Yu crawled out of the crater, which was more than a thousand meters deep. The surrounding area had completely turned into a wasteland. The city, the forest, the river... everything had disappeared, leaving only an endless, desolate wasteland.
Two attribute cards could still be vaguely seen in the distance; they belonged to Sakura. Her human body couldn't even withstand the residual power from just now.
He walked alone on this scorched earth that seemed to have been forgotten by the world. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he found an underground air-raid shelter with a twisted and deformed entrance.
Although, it seems the situation inside isn't much better.

"It's you again, doctor."
"I should thank you for not telling Elysia the truth."
An Yu spoke softly.
After all, if his older sister knew the truth, he wouldn't be able to sleep freely at night.
"We're all exploring this dream, so I'm also looking forward to seeing what Elysia can achieve this time."
Under Vill-V's horrified gaze, Aponia uttered words that Vilvie couldn't yet comprehend.
What is Fusion Warrior?
Aponia shook her head. "I can't tell you, but you probably won't find the answer this time. All the data was destroyed when they discovered you were still alive."
"Fuse with Honkai Beast?"
An Yu guessed, but Aponia didn't answer, only sitting to the side with a somewhat subtle expression.
Elysia also drew her a dream, Aponia naively believed that Elysia would succeed, even though her rationality told her it would be difficult.
So she wanted to look forward to it again next time. The Fusion Warrior might be a trump card, even if it was just a dream. She wanted to see that kind of future.
As her body gradually turned to dust, Aponia looked at An Yu one last time, pondering whether this dream would only end when she cleared it or when humanity became what it was in the eyes of others.
[Level 6 - Death and Life, Completed]
We are not enemies.
An Yu took off his helmet and lay down on the soft bed. His mood was somewhat complicated.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. He thought for a moment and figured it was probably his older sister.
Sure enough, when the door opened, Elysia had her head down, her little nose twitching, but she wasn't crying.
Did I make you angry in my dream again?
An Yu asked curiously.
In this dream, the two of them worked together quite well. An Yu didn't cause any trouble in the early stages and acted as a well-behaved musician while gathering intelligence.
But Elysia had also grown. She leaned gently against An Yu's chest, her voice filled with deep grievance. "I dreamt that on a battlefield, I stood in front of you to save your life."
"But the first thing you did after you woke up was to push me away."
An Yu was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
You've become Faded Elysia; so the dream isn't over yet.
You're in a terrible situation. You died once as a human, and then you died again as Herrscher.
"Then next time you dream, if you're still standing beside me, I'll help you blow all these disasters away."
An Yu feigned nonchalance, but Elysia didn't reply.
No way, I'm on your side. That human is doomed. If her Origin power hadn't weakened after she faded, she might not have died.
"I'm having trouble sleeping tonight, Xiaoyu."
"Shall I tell you a story?"
Elysia murmured softly, "I want to stay here with you for a while."
She needs to take it easy. Although it's true that someone has to feel their way across the river, it's really uncomfortable and painful to fall while feeling your way across the river.
"It's okay, I have plenty of time."
An Yu gently rubbed his older sister's head, but this time he didn't sleep with her. He covered her with the blankets, held her small hands gently, and whispered stories, occasionally becoming a listener.
"Xiaoyu..."
"I am here."
"If next time... I can meet you in my dreams again," Elysia's voice was slurred with drowsiness, her brain barely able to process her own words, "I hope we... aren't on the same side."
She was truly afraid that one day, because of the companionship in her dreams, she would neglect An Yu in reality.
An Yu:...
"Okay, then I'll take the little red pill. In the dream, we'll be enemies."
What... Oh, still in the little pill? Elysia's consciousness was already blurred, unable to delve into the meaning of those words. She gently closed her eyes and slept soundly through the night without any dreams, a rare and peaceful sleep.
An Yu grabbed another quilt for himself, and after thinking for a moment, he went to his older sister's room to sleep. He didn't even need the new quilt anymore; the bedding smelled nice and had a faint fragrance.
The next day, An Yu was woken up by noise. She could vaguely hear Black Seele's voice and Bronya's voice.
He rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room.
Black Seele stood at her room door. "Why do you have the right to sleep in An Yu's room!"
What does this have to do with you! Bronya felt a chill run down her spine.
Elysia looked equally bewildered. She wasn't fully awake yet, and in the dream, Black Seele clearly didn't object to her being with An Yu. Why was it different in reality?
Elysia rubbed her eyes, her voice slightly nasal, "I'm her older sister."
Before Black Seele could raise her little hand again to vent her dissatisfaction, An Yu had already lifted her up from behind with one hand.
"If you keep causing trouble here, I'll smash your head in."
An Yu spoke softly, her face serious.
Black Seele instantly calmed down. The dual pressures of reality and dream made her realize she had to listen to An Yu's words; her good friend really had a strong grip.
"An Yu, I have something to tell you."
She swayed slightly, but didn't struggle to get down.
An Yu glanced at her older sister first, making sure she was still in a daze and clearly unaffected by Black Seele, before carrying her downstairs.
"What is it?" An Yu, sitting on the sofa.
Black Seele stood to the side, looking around. After Sister Bronya clicked her tongue softly and went to the kitchen, she whispered, "Let's get this straight, buddy, no matter what I say, you can't get rough with me."
Playing is playing, and making a fuss is making a fuss, but if An Yu slaps her, Mother Cocolia won't have anyone to complain to.
She'll be in pain for two or three days, just two or three days!
An Yu:...
"You say."
Black Seele tried her best to keep her expression from looking ridiculous. "I suddenly think you smell really good, bro."
An Yu:...
"Don't do it yet."
Black Seele quickly jumped to the side, looking exceptionally lively. Unlike Anna, she didn't seem to be unable to distinguish between dreams and reality, nor was she as endearing and innocent as Anna.
An Yu shook her head. "I won't do it."
