Chapter 370

"Only the Lord of Exotic Beasts, only the Lord of Exotic Beasts can bring new life to this decaying world!"

Suddenly, it was as if a switch had been flipped in Mira Rimer's mind. "Welcome to Domination Drama..."

With a thud, the female sculptor collapsed to the ground.

Raven slowly emerged from the darkness, wiping the barrel of his gun. "Sorry, it seems you'll have to go to another world to pay homage to the so-called Lord of Exotic Beasts, Sculptor."

Before becoming Thousand-Man Herrscher, Mira Rimer was just an ordinary sculptor; to end her life, a single bullet would suffice.

For mercenaries operating underground, bullets are not expensive; on the contrary, they are quite cheap.

Raven slowly left the basement. The people of Schicksal would clean up the mess. Her only request was to destroy the Herrscher's physical body.

A good mercenary never gets involved in anything outside of their mission.

Raven: "The Valkyrie of Schicksal are such a hassle. A problem that could be solved with a single bullet doesn't warrant all this effort. In the underworld, killing someone like that wouldn't be worth the reward you're paying me."

Rita: "Since it's a win-win situation, and you've even benefited, then you might as well put in the extra effort, Ms. Raven."

Raven: "Tsk."

The first rule of mercenaries: as long as the employer offers the highest price, whatever they say is correct.

Raven: "I just wanted to remind you that at our current speed, we're nowhere near as fast as the rate at which Thousand-Man Herrscher are being created."

Amber: "Actually, it's been a while since there's been a tragedy of a city being destroyed. Perhaps Lady Durandal has made some progress."

Data shows that Thousand-Man Herrscher are still emerging, but they haven't exploded in popularity yet.

Amber had reason to suspect that Lady Durandal had gained the upper hand in the battle against the Thousand-Man Herrscher.

Elysia: "In our experience, as long as the city isn't destroyed, that's considered a huge step forward."

Sakura: "Now I can focus all my attention on how to kill the Thousand-Man Herrscher."

Chapter 600 Did Kevin Commit Suicide?

Welt: "The problem is we can't get into the Theater of Domination, otherwise we could launch a full-scale attack on the Thousand-Man Herrscher right now."

Moonlight Throne, Silver Bullet, Star of Eden.

Anti-Entropy is ready; once the Thousand-Man Herrscher shows her face, she'll deliver a devastating blow.

Amber: "What experience did the Flame-Chasers of Previous Era have with entering the Theater of Domination?"

Elysia: "No, we lured Thousand-Man Herrscher to one place and wiped them out in one go."

Sue: "Perhaps I can give it a try and lend you a hand!"

Pardofelis: "Wow! Is Brother Su about to unleash a powerful move? Let us see, let us see!"

Inside the Death Space, all the Flame-Chasers gathered together, their eyes fixed on Su.

Could this Enlightened One possess some ultimate technique capable of interfering with events Fifty Thousand Years in the future?

Su felt immense pressure at that moment. With his companions watching him so closely, it would be incredibly embarrassing if he messed up.

He opened his eyes, and a brocade pouch fell into his hand.

"I once received a Brocade Pouch of Stratagems that could reveal the secrets of the universe at crucial moments. Now that Otto is missing and Kevin is behaving strangely, I think it's time to use it."

"Then hurry up and open it to take a look!"

Pardofelis was eager to know what treasures were hidden in the Brocade Pouch of Stratagems.

Soda slowly opened the brocade pouch, inside were two small brocade pouches, marked with the numbers 1 and 2 respectively.

Elysia was puzzled. "Su, what does this mean?"

"Perhaps there are two solutions to this problem."

Su had an idea. He tried to open the second brocade pouch, but found that he couldn't even untie the rope.

"Just as I thought, the second solution can only be used when the time is right. For now, we can only glimpse the first solution," Su explained to his companion.

Pardofelis asked, "What is the first solution?"

Su opened the first brocade pouch, on which was written: The solution to this predicament lies with Kiana.

Pardofelis: "Hey, the key to defeating the Thousand-Man Herrscher lies with Kiana. You guys should tell her right away."

Himeko Murata: "Huh?"

It's not that Teacher Himeko doesn't trust her students, but it's obvious that Fu Hua and Durandal, who are heading to the Theater of Domination, are more reliable than Kiana.

Amber: "Could you explain that more clearly?"

Su: "I already understand the first solution, which is the current situation. Successors, you only need to tell Kiana that the key to defeating the Thousand-Man Herrscher lies with her."

Theresa: "Very mysterious."

Although I still don't think it's very reliable, since Su has said so, it probably can't be bad.

The group quickly tried to get the message to Kiana and the others.

Theater of Domination.

The Immortal Crimson Bird shattered the Eminence with a single sword strike, his sword intent brimming. After more than a dozen consecutive strikes, the giant puppet had already shrunk to half its original size.

"It's useless, useless, completely useless!"

The Thousand-Man Herrscher roared, "Even if you can kill us for a while, can you stop humanity's despair? You can't. In the end, we'll still come back. You can't do anything!"

Even though their numbers are decreasing rapidly, the Thousand-Man Herrscher still believe they have victory in their grasp.

Fu Hua killed only the old ones; new individuals will inherit the will of revenge and become the new Thousand-Man Herrscher.

But Fu Hua's power is limited. After ten, twenty, or even a hundred sword strikes, will she still be so valiant?!

Fu Hua exhaled a breath of stale air. "Perhaps you're right, but the Thousand-Man Herrscher seems to have forgotten that I'm not alone either."

A golden comet soared high in the sky.

Durandal drew her horn bow, using her star spear as an arrow to pierce through the black mist, striking the Thousand-Man Herrscher directly from above.

"Kiana, catch!" Durandal shouted from the sky.

"Alright!"

"What?!"

The Thousand-Man Herrscher were greatly alarmed.

She looked down and saw Kiana creating a wormhole beneath her feet, redirecting the arrow that had reached the end to her side.

Durandal's charged attack pierced the giant doll's body twice in succession.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher shouted, "Are you all idiots? I told you, this kind of attack is completely pointless! Can't you understand human language?!"

"As long as we cannot be defeated in one fell swoop, we will not disappear, never!"

"Fool! Idiot!"

Fu Hua reminded her, "You're right, but as I said, we have companions."

Durandal once again charged up her horn bow and slammed it down from above, while Fu Hua's sword aura sliced through the body of the Thousand-Man Herrscher at the waist, the two energies colliding within her body.

"Little Senti, hurry!" Fu Hua shouted.

"Old Timer, it's finally my turn to make a move!"

A voice seemed to come from the depths of the soul, bypassing the ears and reaching the nerves, directly into everyone's heart.

The Thousand-Man Herrscher secretly cried out in alarm, "Oh no, it's the Herrscher of Reason!"

"It's too late now, watch me A Worldful of Woes!"

--Click.

Something shattered in the Theater of Domination.

The abilities of the Herrscher of Reason and Fenghuang Down can finally be activated against the Thousand-Man Herrscher, and fragments of memory scatter and drift away.

Fu Hua accurately located the area she wanted.

Kevin Kaslana.

He stood Theater of Domination, the ground beneath his feet littered with the scattered remains of puppets. He had indeed wiped out Thousand-Man Herrscher in terms of sheer numbers.

Even though they hid behind the door, even though there were a thousand of them, Kevin still found them one by one and crushed them all.

But he didn't kill the Thousand-Man Herrscher.

At the core of the Thousand-Man Herrscher, Kevin stood still.

He only needs to raise his fist and crush everything that Theater of Domination with his destructive power to make the Thousand-Man Herrscher cease to exist on the indoor level.

But Kevin didn't do that.

With the opportunity to kill the Herrscher within reach, Kevin raised his arm towards the sky, and boundless Honkai Energy surged from his body, forming a sword.

Kevin used the sword he had made to pierce his own chest.

Honkai Energy clashed within his body, and the self-healing ability of the Hypervariable Factor conflicted with Kevin's own power, shattering his body inch by inch until finally Kevin revealed a meaningful smile.

The fragments of memory end here.

Why is this happening?

Fu Hua stared blankly at the intelligence she had obtained.

Did Kevin commit suicide?

No, he should have attempted suicide. The full-power release of the Fehu was Kevin's strongest attack. Without the Fehu, he might not even have been able to commit suicide.

Judging from the fact that Thousand-Man Herrscher have now acquired his power, Kevin's suicide attempt has indeed failed.

"But why did Kevin commit suicide?"

Fu Hua couldn't understand it.

Fenghuang Down flickered, and another fragment of memory flooded into Fu Hua's mind.

This time it was at the World Serpent Base, where Kevin and Otto sat facing each other.

"How did those two get together?"

Fu Hua was getting more and more confused, feeling like she had woken up from a nap and found that several decades had passed.

Chapter 601 Cause and Effect

Memories flashed by like a revolving lantern Fu Hua awaited the next developments. She was certain that all the mysteries lay in this conversation between Otto and Kevin.

The two sat facing each other in silence for a long time before Kevin spoke first, "So, you went into World Serpent's territory alone, deliberately avoiding the Serpent's executives, just to tell me that Thousand-Man Herrscher have been born?"

Kevin didn't believe it.

He didn't believe Otto wouldn't know; the World Serpent —no, his information was far faster Otto's.

The fact that Thousand-Man Herrscher had been created could not be hidden from Kevin's eyes.

Otto waved his hand. "No, Kevin, my friend, you know what I mean. I'll say it again, I'm here to help you."

Kevin remained silent.

Otto continued, "I know you've always wanted to return to the Flame-Chasers, but as the leader of the World Serpent, the responsibilities of the Stigmata Project have bound you firmly to this place. You're unwilling, yet helpless in the face of the current situation."

"The World Serpent needs you, the Stigmata Project needs you to lead the new generation of humanity to defeat the Honkai. You don't want to be a deserter and disappoint your former friends."

"So?" Kevin asked.

Otto gave a knowing smile, "But what if we don't need you? What if it's people from later generations who put you to death? Wouldn't you then have a reason to convince yourself?"

Kevin said calmly, "You can't do it. You couldn't before, and you certainly can't now."

Before he recovered, if they attacked him together, they might still have a fighting chance.

Now he has returned to his prime, and there is no weapon in this world that can kill Kevin.

Otto said, "Don't rush, my friend, let me finish. We can't do it, but that doesn't mean you can't. You just need to make it appear as if humans from the future killed you in one ending."

"Thousand-Man Herrscher have been born. Don't you think this is a golden opportunity?"

Otto gradually conjured a chessboard using the Void Archive, and he pushed a chess piece in front of Kevin.
