Even the clouds in the sky were torn open by this powerful shockwave.
How will you respond to this attack?
The Herrscher of Flame looked at Huang Quan as if she could already see him being crushed by her attack, his body charred.
However, in just a moment, her eyes widened.
Huang Quan simply raised his scabbard, without even drawing his long sword, as if parrying a playful attack, easily deflecting a blow powerful enough to tear through the clouds.
In that instant, a powerful force was applied to Huang Quan's somewhat thin and weak arm, yet, no matter how fierce the wind blew, I remained unmoved.
However, although Huang Quan was unharmed, the ground beneath her feet began to crack like a spider web due to the inability to withstand the powerful force. Even the earth behind Huang Quan developed a huge crack in that instant.
It was like a long sword shattering the earth.
The entire city was split in two by this attack.
Fortunately, the city had already begun evacuation the moment the Herrscher of Flame appeared, so there were no casualties from this attack.
That's why Huang Quan could stay here and fight the enemy without worry.
In fact, this was one of the reasons why she asked Alicia to leave and help with the evacuation.
Only when there are no ordinary people will she have no worries about the future.
In fact, compared to the previous sixth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Death, the Herrscher of Flame is far stronger.
Compared to the Herrscher of Flame, the Herrscher of Death is like a premature baby born out of nowhere.
It doesn't have much Honkai energy, and its strength isn't great either. Its only troublesome aspect is its ability to take lives.
However, in front of Huang Quan, he was just like a blank slate.
However, the Herrscher of Flame is different. The concentration of Honkai energy in Australia is much stronger than last time, and the Herrscher of Flame's destructive power is incomparable to that of other Herrschers.
As the most destructive being below the end, even Huang Quan would need to spend a considerable amount of time to defeat it without using his power.
However, if we don't act quickly to defeat this kind of enemy, the casualties will likely continue to increase.
If the other side were allowed to unleash its Honkai energy at will, burning the entire country of Australia, humanity would suffer a great loss.
Although Australia has a small population, it is still one of the most important places for human habitation.
For the Honkai, victory is not achieved by killing all humans. If all the soil on which humans depend for survival is destroyed, then even if some humans survive, they will not be able to reproduce without the soil.
"almost."
Looking at the dilapidated city, Huang Quan muttered to himself.
"Hmm? It's almost done."
Hearing Huang Quan's mutterings, the Herrscher of Flame nodded in agreement.
"I've been dawdling with you for too long. It's time to get rid of you. After all, we can't afford to waste so much time here."
The two had been locked in a fierce battle for some time. Although the Herrscher of Flame was fighting seriously, she was unable to defeat Huang Quan.
Huang Quan, on the other hand, chose to delay. If the Herrscher of Flame were to unleash her full power, the destructive force would be quite strong, and she could not guarantee that she could protect everyone.
And now is the time!
In the distance, Ellie's figure gradually drew closer.
After helping Hua complete the evacuation, she rushed to the battlefield without stopping for a moment.
Although she had confidence in Mei's strength, Mei was, after all, a Herrscher. Moreover, just now, Mei had received a communication and learned about the intensity of this Honkai. This time, the intensity of the Honkai energy that erupted in Australia far exceeded any previous one. In other words, the Herrscher born this time might be stronger than all the previous Herrschers!
"Burn to ashes!"
In the sky, the greatsword in the hands of the Herrscher of Flame gradually transformed into a ball of raging fire.
She embraced the blazing fire and raised it high above her head.
It was like a great sun.
Under the power of the Herrscher of Flame, this great sun became increasingly scorching, and at the same time, the intensity of Honkai energy also increased.
"Aili, the Honkai energy concentration in Australia is rising rapidly! And it's increasing exponentially. If this power were to erupt in Australia, a large part of the country would probably be ignited! What's the situation there now?"
May's urgent voice rang out in Alicia's earpiece.
"I just dispersed the crowd in the city. Huang Quan is fighting the Herrscher of Flame alone. How is it? When will the reinforcements arrive?"
Alicia quickly explained the situation.
"I'm sorry, Ellie, the issue of reinforcements might be a bit difficult."
After a moment of silence, Mei said helplessly, "After the Great Collapse, some Collapse events have occurred one after another around the world. Just now, an Emperor-class Collapse Beast was born in a city near the Fire Moth. Kevin has already led a team to suppress it."
Dr. Mei's voice was somewhat serious, yet also somewhat helpless.
“Aili, if things really come to a head... we should retreat first, prioritizing self-preservation and conserving our strength. Once Kevin and the others from the Firemoth are free, we can then attack the Herrscher together.”
“I understand, Mei.”
Alicia nodded, then looked at Huang Quan in front of her and was about to speak.
However, in the next instant, Alicia's eyes widened.
In the sky, a fireball as bright as the sun slowly descended under the control of the Herrscher of Flame.
"Die! Bugs!"
As the Herrscher of Flame manipulated it, the fireball grew faster and faster.
If this fireball were to fall, the area within a hundred miles would likely become a fiery hell.
The Herrscher of Flame seemed to have already envisioned how Huang Quan and Alicia would be reduced to ashes by her full-force attack.
However, faced with such an attack, Huang Quan merely took a step forward, his hand gripping the long sword tightly.
The next moment, her gorgeous long hair gradually began to fade, eventually turning black and white, while her gauntlets turned blood red, and several datura flowers bloomed on her arms.
Faced with this devastating blow, Huang Quan finally, for the first time in this world, unleashed his power.
She has always restrained her power, because this world is too fragile, and even the slightest touch of nothingness would be a devastating blow to it.
However, at this critical juncture, Huang Quan couldn't care less about anything else. If he couldn't stop the other side, Australia's losses would only increase further.
Moreover, Huang Quan was confident that if he only used a small portion of his power, it would not have any impact on this world.
"May we mourn for the departed..."
The long sword was gradually raised above her head, and for the first time after her descent, the long sword in her hand revealed its sharpness in this world.
The flow of time around them seemed to slow down, and the space gradually became viscous. The Herrscher of Flame maintained her downward posture, and a hint of pleasure could be seen in her eyes.
"Tears fell like rain, filling the river..."
On her pale, pretty face, a tear of blood slowly dripped from her scarlet eyes, and the past began to surge up from the boundless depths of the sea.
Memories that had been gradually eroded and forgotten in the void surged into my mind at this moment.
"Like a surging tide, leading you home!"
The next moment, crimson lightning coiled around Huang Quan's body, and the long sword was completely drawn in that instant. Then... a huge blade of light slashed towards the sky.
At that moment, the sun split open.
Under Huang Quan's blade, everything within sight was reduced to a dazzling white light.
"How could you...?"
Before the Herrscher of Flame could fully process the surprise in her eyes, her all-out attack was dealt with so easily, this ray of light had already enveloped her body.
Then... everything returned to nothingness.
A crack stretched across the earth for hundreds of kilometers, and all the clouds in the clear sky, as well as the black clouds caused by the fire, vanished in an instant.
When it was all over, only Alicia remained as the sole witness to this extraordinary feat.
Huang Quan (pre-Honkai civilization): 10: Alicia: Huang Quan and I are killing everything in sight!
"Mea Yi..."
As Mei sheathed her sword and the faded colors returned to her, Alicia opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
"Were you frightened by my appearance?"
Huang Quan raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask.
"No... I meant to say, Mei, you were so cool just now! Whether it was that slash or your appearance just now, Mei is beautiful now, but Mei in white is even more beautiful! Even now, my heart is still pounding."
Alicia looked at Huang Quan, her eyes seemingly sparkling with starlight, full of a young girl's longing.
"Furthermore... although I knew Mei was strong, I didn't expect her to be this powerful. With Mei's help, we will definitely defeat the Honkai!"
She clasped her hands together and looked at Huang Quan with joy.
Just as the two were having a brief conversation, Alicia's phone rang.
"What's wrong, Kevin?"
Alicia looked at Kevin's somewhat tired face on the screen.
"Sorry, it's getting late. I just finished the battle here. How are things on your end? Have you retreated yet? Don't worry, let's wait for the Fire Moths to gather before we go to fight the Herrscher."
Although he was a little tired, Kevin still forced himself to speak.
Just now, Kevin defeated an Emperor-level Honkai Beast. Moreover, this Honkai Beast was far stronger than an ordinary Emperor-level Honkai Beast. Kevin fought hard before he finally killed it.
However, these Honkai Beasts were still far inferior to the Herrschers, so after the battle, Kevin immediately called Alicia.
"Ah, no need."
After hearing Kevin's words, Alicia smiled and shook her head.
"You don't need it anymore? What happened?"
For a moment, Kevin's mind hadn't quite processed it.
"Mei and I went on a killing spree and have already defeated the Seventh Herrscher."
As Alicia spoke, she winked at Yomi, who was standing to the side.
Yeah, I'll take care of the squeaking, and Mei will take care of the rampage. That's called a clear division of labor!
