"What happened to me?"
Hua slowly opened her eyes and was a little confused by the sight in front of her.
The world was shattering like glass. The sky was covered in cracks, and fragments were constantly falling. If it weren't for the black hole outside, she would have thought she had been teleported again.
Swoosh—
The girl immediately sat up and looked around in a panic.
"Where's senior brother? Where did senior brother go?"
"What's the rush? I'm still here." Mobius walked out of the shadows, dodging the falling fragments. She thought to herself that this wooden stake was so heartless that she didn't even ask how her Salvation was.
But she also knew how important Ryan was in Hua's heart. When she was stared at by those empty eyes, she immediately forgot to tease her.
"That guy disappeared. Don't panic. Theoretically, that Vita doesn't have any malicious intent, otherwise, she would have dragged the two of us into the sea with her."
"Vita? She's the mastermind? What's her power level?"
"Probably. I don't know the exact purpose. First, let me tell you that it has nothing to do with intelligence. I just didn't pay attention." Mobius flicked her long hair and tried to explain: "It's probably that Vita has something that that guy wants, and you should just treat it as a business negotiation."
It was indeed a business negotiation, but the process was very violent. The complex details were something that even Mobius couldn't figure out.
She didn't plan to think about it either. She looked up and saw a pink light appear in the pitch-black, shattered sky. She immediately pursed her lips.
'Why is that fat woman here? It would be so embarrassing for her to save me.'
No matter what Mobius thought, this world bubble was on the verge of collapse. She dragged Hua up from the ground.
"Let's go. Mei sent people to save us. If we don't leave now, we'll be left to drift in the Sea of Quanta."
"But senior brother..."
Mobius was too lazy to explain. She just gave her a shot, helped Hua up, and began to move towards the edge of the world bubble. And on the dome above, Elysia was also in a daze.
The scene in front of her was too terrifying. At least for this pink fairy who loved everything in the world, it was a horror movie.
The world was moving towards destruction.
The beautiful cities turned into fragments, and countless humans fell into the cracks. On the dome, there was a black hole, frantically absorbing the fragments.
For a moment, she even had an urge to go down and help, but before Elysia could make a choice, Mobius had already flown up.
"Hmm, where did Ryan go? Don't tell me!" Elysia immediately covered her mouth, her eyes contracting.
"Stop your nonsense. Take this wooden stake up first." Mobius had never seen that expression on the fat woman before, but the surroundings were too chaotic, so she didn't have time to appreciate it.
"As for Ryan—"
She pointed to a certain place in the center of the world bubble. There was a purplish-red sphere surrounded by countless energies, like the center of a vortex.
"He's opening a new path for humanity."
...
Thud.
Ryan's feet landed on the desolate ground. He looked around, and it was boundless. There were only countless canyons. When he looked up at the sky, it was a brilliant starry sky, and a few black moon-like celestial bodies.
In the center of the moons, there was a colorful nebula, shaped like a giant eye.
"A very nice view. Is this Sa's domain?"
"To be precise, it's my domain. The rules will respond to all my wishes." The gorgeously dressed Vita stood not far away, her fair fingers slightly spread, "Mr. Ryan, are you still having fun?"
Boom!!
Before she finished speaking, a giant flaming sword had already slashed her body, but the flame went out before it could touch her. Pure Honkai energy could not penetrate this completely different rule.
"It's the purer power of the sea. At least in the Sea of Quanta, the Herrschers of the imaginary side are at a great disadvantage. No wonder you didn't even care about those two." Ryan slashed at someone but acted like nothing happened as he rubbed his chin. This was the ultimate home-ground advantage.
Honkai energy would be canceled out. The only thing that could counter it was probably the Herrscher of the sea. To put it simply, this was like:
'You want to use a sword from the Imaginary Tree to slash an official of my Sea of Quanta?'
"You would have also become a great scientist on Venus, if you weren't so impatient." Vita smiled slightly. Her little black leather shoes lightly tapped the ground, and she walked in a circle around Ryan.
"But it's still not enough. The pressure you're giving isn't enough."
Ryan's eyes moved with her. In this space, he couldn't sense any Honkai energy, it was like the power cord had been unplugged, leaving only the internal battery.
"When will it be enough?"
"I don't know." Vita rested her hand on her lips and walked behind a pillar. She then suddenly peeked out half of her face, showing a playful smile: "At least you have to push me to my limit. I wonder if you, who just defeated two Herrschers, can do it? And since you've accepted this gamble, there's no going back."
Her meaning was clear. Either he completed the transaction, or he died here. There was no third option.
Vita could wait for the next time, but Ryan was in a hurry.
"I see. Then—" The man took a breath, and his feet suddenly sank into the ground, making the entire space hum. An energy that was many times more powerful than a normal Herrscher appeared.
"Is a near-death state enough!?"
The woman's tone made him a little unhappy. 'You want to set me up, don't you? I'm a little wary of that 'Sa', but you're just a clone. What right do you have to be so calm in front of me?'
Ryan was not a certain gentle girl from fifty thousand years later, but a hero who represented an era.
The surging energy tore the ground, and then turned it into powder in the air. This tide came, and Vita subconsciously took a step back, seeing the pillar in front of her turn into dust in this surge.
A trembling sensation that she hadn't felt in a long time?
When she saw the man bend his knees, she quickly held out her index finger: "Stop."
The rules were trying to restrain him. It was as if an invisible hand was pulling his body. But he quickly tore through the shackles and suddenly filled all of the girl's vision, holding up his left hand.
The greatsword slashed down. Vita turned sideways and saw the tip of the sword touch the ground, and then her pupils shrank.
Boom—
The tip of the sword touched the ground and bounced up, but it cut out a canyon that extended into the distance, a bottomless canyon.
"The rules' restraint is limited, and I have surpassed this limit." Ryan was stating a truth. He was still for a moment, and then his right hand suddenly grabbed the long knife at his waist.
Clang—
Seven Thunders of Retribution was unsheathed. Only a faint light could be seen. Vita had already flown into the sky and saw that a thin sword mark had appeared on all objects within ten kilometers. With a rumbling sound, they collapsed and turned into the flattest plain.
'Monster. He's already at a tenth of the power of the Abyss, isn't he?'
The rules couldn't suppress him. Fortunately, the other party's energy couldn't be replenished. This kind of high-intensity consumption couldn't be maintained for long. But then again, her goal was not to have a life-or-death battle with this person. The more pressure, the better.
A thought flashed by. Vita didn't have time to think too much. She quickly crossed her hands over her chest.
Bang!!
A violent back kick sent her flying like a meteor. She used this force to fly several kilometers away. When she looked up, Ryan had already caught up to her.
He held a sword in one hand and a knife in the other. Fire and lightning intertwined. His spinning body was like a spinning top, and he forcefully slammed his blade onto her strange, peacock feather-like weapon.
Whoosh—dong!
A heavy explosion echoed. The canyon turned into a circular pit. Ryan was looking down and saw the girl half-squatting at the bottom of the pit. He saw that she was completely unharmed and frowned slightly.
'It's that strange rule again. Her defense is really strong.'
This Vita was like she had an invincible cheat. The energy he released was enough to turn a city into dust, but it only caused some wear and tear.
'It's not enough, far from enough.'
He waved his long knife, reflecting the green light beam that was shot at him towards the starry sky. Ryan's whole body began to burn and quickly expanded. A several-meter-tall fiery giant was floating in the sky.
A green current also surged in the center of the deep pit, like countless feathers fluttering, and the playful smile on Vita's face was gone.
'He's bound by the rules, but I can't break through his defense either. In the end, it's still a gap in energy. This man has no rules, he only pursues faster, stronger.'
Gravity Catapult.
The fiery giant disappeared at a speed that didn't match its size. It landed in the pit with one foot, and the fiery sword was plunged into the ground. The roaring Scarlet lotus fire ignited the entire canyon.
'How agile.'
He missed one strike. Ryan immediately looked up. His left hand was open, pointing to the sky.
He used ice to surround her, blocking Vita's escape routes, and then he clenched his hand.
Gravity Collapse.
The green figure had just flown into the starry sky when a gravity point was created, making the giant ice wall converge towards the center, quickly forming a crystal-clear sphere.
It was a perfect seal. The most perfect combination of two authorities, but with the sudden flash of green light, cracks began to appear on the surface of the ice sphere.
'Is she getting serious? A little interesting.'
Ryan had already anticipated this outcome. He gently retreated from the fiery giant, and gave its back a gentle pat. An electromagnetic rail appeared under the giant's feet, and the threads of Domination turned it into a puppet.
'Go.'
The moment the ice sphere completely shattered, the at least sixty-meter-tall fiery giant had already lunged forward, burrowed into the pile of ice shards, and instead of swinging its sword, it opened its arms.
'Come on, embrace the flame.'
Ryan timed it just right and held up two fingers.
Explode.
Boom!!!
An extremely dazzling fireball rose in the starry sky, suppressing the stars and the black moons, like a brilliant scorching sun.
The terrifying energy exploded and then rapidly concentrated in the center under the effect of gravity waves, turning into an extremely regular fireball. All the energy was concentrated inside.
The attacks were like a storm, not giving her a moment to breathe. He would occasionally use some counter-intuitive methods. 'You think this is my ultimate move, but it's just a self-destructing puppet.' 'If you take the initiative to distance yourself, you'll fall for my trick.'
Dong.
A smoking thing fell from the sky. It looked like a birdman with a human head and a peacock body, but its once-gorgeous body was now covered in leftover flames, and a few of its tail feathers were blown off.
"A good reaction. If you didn't use your trump card, you would have been dead just now, Miss Vita—" Even though his black tailcoat was slightly damaged, Ryan was still like a respectable gentleman, and he nodded slightly.
"Is this enough now?"
