Facing Su Jue's attack, Walter's expression was very calm, and an imperceptible joy flashed in his dark red eyes. In an instant, Su Jue suddenly felt that the space around him began to distort, and the terrifying gravity was pulling at his body. Just like a drop of ink falling on white paper, a dark sphere suddenly appeared on the sea. The moment Su Jue attacked Walter, it expanded rapidly and turned into a vortex that swallowed everything. "Zeroth Rated Power - Pseudo-Black Hole" Using himself as bait to cover up the energy leakage when the Star of Eden activated its ability. Walter's plan was not complicated, but Su Jue could not predict it at such a close distance. The surrounding seawater was attracted by the pseudo-black hole and turned into a tsunami. The dark clouds in the sky were also pulled down by the powerful gravity. The flowing air was accelerated by gravity and turned into a hurricane that carried Su Jue towards the pseudo-black hole. In the twisted space, Su Jue seemed to be crushed to pieces, and his body felt a tearing pain. The gravity generated here was more than a hundred times greater. In less than half a second, Su Jue and everything around him were pulled into the range of the pseudo-black hole. Walter breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. He really didn't expect that he would be forced to use the zeroth rated power of the Star of Eden.
His body is indeed not as good as before. He was not afraid even when facing Sirin during the second collapse, but now he is being chased and beaten by the characters in the world bubble he created. "The search for a successor can no longer be delayed... Bronya Zajcek is still unwilling to accept the succession of the Herrscher of Reason." According to the original world line, Bronya did not completely receive Walter's training until the Herrscher of the Thousand. Before that, although she had power, she only used it based on her instinct. Because of this, she was easily controlled by the Herrscher of the Thousand, and it was not until Otto's death that the Moonlight Throne Array was created and ushered in a brief peak. "Then do as I say. If you hand over the core to me, you won't have to worry about the heir." A voice suddenly came from behind him. Walter was startled and horrified to find that the Star of Eden in his hand was covered with cracks. The simulated black hole is still running, so how did the enemy escape from it? It’s very simple, just use your spatial ability. When in Sky City, Kiana's Sky Ranger form once demonstrated the ability of a black hole. During Su Jue's battle with her, he had already experienced the effect of space distortion. No matter how powerful a pseudo-black hole is, it is only distorting space through gravity, thereby attracting objects. Black holes attract everything and distort even light. This is an inexplicable law of physics for humans, but in a collapsed world, space is not an untouchable existence. Even if Su Jue is not a Ruler of Void who can control space, he can still open the barrier of space by taking shortcuts. No matter how strong your gravity is, do you have the ability to attract the Tree of Imaginary Numbers? After all, it is just a pseudo-black hole, not a black hole formed by celestial bodies, and the energy level is more than one level lower. Theoretically, the effect of the pseudo-black hole formed by Honkai energy should be stronger after Su Jue opens the imaginary space, but the Star of Eden has a power limit. When the limit of the pseudo-black hole exceeds the zero rated power, it will be overloaded and directly lead to the destruction of the Star of Eden. The collapse of the Star of Eden was fed back to its creator, and Walter suffered the backlash of the Honkai energy. Su Jue didn't even need to do anything, as he was mostly disabled. "How about it, have you thought it through?" Su Jue grabbed his collar with one hand and lifted him in front of him, with a smile in his eyes. "Traitor to humanity!" Faced with Su Jue's threat, Walter did not compromise. He directly created high explosives around him, preparing to die together with Su Jue. The bomb exploded successfully, and the sea surface that had been pulled by the simulated black hole was pushed away again before it could calm down. When the smoke cleared, Walter was seriously injured, but Su Jue was surrounded by a light blue shield, which was also the ability of this star armor. In the process of fighting against the pseudo black hole, Su Jue's losses were not low. Since he could not use the power of the Ruler, he could only rely on the star armor and the puppet to resist the black hole. Therefore, the shield was now somewhat transparent, and it would not take long for the energy of the star core to be exhausted.
Otherwise, if you can withstand the black hole, why do you still have to dodge the bomb? Regardless, the final outcome is already determined, and the defeat of the Ruler of Reason is a foregone conclusion. Although it seemed short, the battle between Su Jue and Walter lasted for a full half hour. The seriously injured Walter was brought back to the Anti-Entropy Base. The Anti-Entropy members who originally thought that everything would be fine with the appearance of the leader were so scared when they saw that it was Su Jue who appeared that many of them collapsed to the ground. The two doctors who were in charge of the situation had not woken up yet. There was not even a single person resisting in such a large branch. Su Jue wanted to occupy the base directly. "Have you seen those ordinary people? They have dedicated their entire lives to Anti-Entropy in order to fight the Honkai. Mr. Walter, you fight for humanity, so you don't want so many ordinary people to die in such an unclear way. Give me the core, and I will leave. You can continue to lead Anti-Entropy, and everyone will be happy." As he spoke, Su Jue raised his hand and pointed at the most intact building in the entire base, which was the location of the infirmary, and there were still a large number of wounded people receiving treatment there. Including Bronya, the heir that Walter has his eyes on. If Anti-Entropy can't even deal with Su Jue in this form, it's better to surrender as soon as possible when encountering other Herrschers. It's better to give resources to Otto, at least there will be more opportunities. Just when Su Jue was about to blow up half of the building, the white-haired girl staggered towards him. Kiana, who had just received temporary treatment, looked pale, as if a gust of wind could blow her down, but she still managed to come in front of Su Jue and stop him. "Qi... Kiana." It sounded a little strange to call her name to someone else, but Kiana didn't think too much about it. She believed that since it was another self, it couldn't be a simple bad person. "Stop it, he doesn't want you to kill ordinary people." Chapter 172 It’s just a false feeling after all Looking at Kiana standing in front of him, Su Jue suddenly laughed: "It seems that Anti-Entropy is more incompetent than I thought. It can only rely on a little girl outside the organization to plead for mercy. Have you forgotten? It was me who sent you here, so what position do you stand on to ask me to stop?" "I..." Kiana was speechless. She was indeed not an anti-entropy person, but she couldn't just leave these people alone. She could only force herself to say, "They are just ordinary people. If you are angry because of Bronya's attack, then I can bear your anger on her behalf. But if you are doing this for Su Jue, you should know that he would never hurt civilians." After the dark clouds were disturbed by the simulated black hole, the sky finally saw the dawn again. The gentle light fell on the girl's cheeks, making her look sparkling. But Su Jue had his back to the sun, with only a large shadow in front of him. "Su Jue..." Letting go of Walter's hand, Su Jue walked step by step to Kiana. The distance between the two was so close that Su Jue could clearly see the girl's eyelashes trembling and hear her every breath. "I do know him, but do you know in what capacity you made the choice for him? Friend? Lover? Confidant?" The warm breath blew on Kiana's cheek, making her already pale face suddenly even stiffer. "You keep saying that he would never hurt civilians, but how much do you really know about him? Do you want to make him sad because of his thoughts, or are you simply taking advantage of his kindness and the relationship between him and me to stop me?" "Kiana, have you ever thought about whether you considered his thoughts when you decided to use your position in his heart to save these people?" Su Jue's voice was very gentle, like the casual chat between childhood besties. He raised his hand and gently lifted the hair in front of Kiana's eyes, so that his figure could be clearly reflected in the girl's blue eyes. The two of them were almost tightly pressed together, and any expression, any look, and any sound of Kiana could be captured by him. However, Kiana's lips were trembling, and Su Jue pricked up his ears but did not hear any answer. There was a hint of confusion in her lake-blue eyes. Facing Su Jue's close gaze, she instinctively wanted to escape. Obviously, although she knew that she had different feelings for Su Jue, she had never thought about what Su Jue meant to her. Su Jue, who had just blurted out that he didn't want to kill ordinary people, was just instinctively wanting to use [Kiana]'s good impression of him to stop her from attacking ordinary people after learning that she cared about him.
"For him..." A second later, Kiana seemed to have sorted out her thoughts. Just as she was about to speak, Su Jue put his finger against her lips. When she doesn't give the answer at the first time, all the subsequent explanations will be meaningless. The deep blue eyes were drooped, stained with a little shadow, and Su Jue passed by her and left, returning to Walter's side again. "Rule of Reason, I have given you enough time to think. Now tell me your answer." There was no fluctuation in his voice, as if everything had become dull, and even the Herrscher Core could not attract his attention for even a second. Now he just wanted to finish it quickly and leave here. "Impossible! Logic..." puff-- Bright red blood spurted out in the sunlight, carrying a hot breath, splashing on the dazed Kiana's cheek. Walter’s expression was filled with disbelief. He lowered his head and looked at the white arm that went straight through his chest. Su Jue's hand stretched out from behind him, holding the pitch-black Ruler of Reason Gem, with some of Walter's blood still on it, dripping onto the ground. "Herring Gem, huh." puff-- The arm was retracted, and blood gushed out again. Su Jue shook the hand holding the gem with some boredom, and the blood plasma was thrown everywhere. Beside him, Walter knelt down weakly, his body lost support, and fell to the ground with a bang. The blood turned into a lake and gradually spread. In the bright sunlight, Kiana's pale face was reflected like a mirror. In the distance, Bronya and Mei, who had just woken up, were running towards this side desperately. "Mr. Walter!" During the trial of the Herrscher of Reason, Bronya had seen Walter's life through the memories preserved in the gem. Although she had not yet made up her mind to accept the inheritance of the Ruler of Reason, Walter's spirit of fighting for humanity still deeply touched her, and now Walter died in front of her. "The emotions brought by guilt and pain are just illusions after all, Kiana. He is just a reason for you to keep going." The azure star armor gradually dissipated and turned into a small teardrop-shaped gem. The original star core had almost consumed all its energy in the battle with Walter, leaving only this little bit. "This is my gift to you, and also my farewell to you." After putting the water drop into Kiana's hand, Su Jue disappeared without looking back in the direction where the sun was setting. …… After Su Jue left, the entire Mi Diffuse Base was filled with sadness. Although Walter was rescued, he also lost all his abilities. Unable to find the Herrscher Gem again, he could only wait quietly for his death as an ordinary person with not much time left. Two days later. After the staff's strenuous repairs, the entire base was finally able to resume operation. Most of the mechas were destroyed in this battle, and many key buildings were also damaged. After this battle, Anti-Entropy has completely announced that it has lost control of the Asian region.
"Sister." Seele pushed open the balcony door and looked worriedly at Bronya who was sitting alone on the balcony blowing in the cold wind. Her favorite Homunculus doll prepared for her sister was also placed aside and not even touched. Bringing the soup she had stewed for a long time to Bronya, Xier said with some distress: "Sister, it's not your fault about Mr. Walter." Bronya remained silent as she looked down at the Heavy Armor Bunny model in her hand. She created it using the remaining Herrscher energy in her body. The Law Gem was taken away, but the door to communicate with the Imaginary Tree that remained in Bronya's body will not disappear. Now she is actually the same as Mei, and if there is a suitable opportunity, she can actually recover the Herrscher Core. "I know." Bronya came back to her senses and shook her head at Seele. To be precise, this loss was not anyone's fault, it was just because of her own weakness. "If I could have accepted the inheritance of the Ruler of Reason earlier, Rosalia, Lilia, Walter... maybe I could have prevented the tragedy from happening." There was a flash of pain in her eyes, but she had thought about it enough in two days, and it was time to make a change. "Starting tomorrow, accept the training plan set by Walter. Even if the core is taken away, sooner or later I will bring everything back with the will of 30 people." Chapter 173: Only Being Alone is the Final Path "1~2~Push!" In the huge anti-entropy base, there were staff members everywhere dealing with building debris. Construction workers wearing hard hats were trying to straighten a steel beam that had collapsed after being hit by a blast. Unfortunately, without any mechanical assistance, the beam lost its support halfway through. Just as he was about to fall, he was caught by a little girl with one hand. "Thank you, Ms. Theresa." The staff member breathed a sigh of relief, saluted her, and continued to deal with the next issue. Looking at the busy people, Theresa sighed. She was the one who was most seriously injured during the battle with Kiana, but after the war, she became the one with the most free time. Bronya, who was shocked by Walter's serious injury, locked herself in her room all day to study her Herrscher ability. If it weren't for Seele taking care of her, she might have starved to death in the room. Mei Raiden in the training room is honing her sword skills day and night. She almost saw Kiana being killed in the storm, and she has not yet recovered from the psychological trauma. However, she would always say "I can't do anything" during every training session, which made Theresa a little worried that she would fall into self-loathing. "And Kiana..." After not seeing her for such a long time, Kiana has really changed a lot. The girl who used to be so cheerful is now worried and taciturn all day long. It is hard to imagine what she has been through. If it hadn't been confirmed that the people who attacked the base that day had left, Theresa would have thought that she was still being deceived by the fake Kiana. "The erosion of her by Honkai energy has become so serious that it cannot be sustained. Is there really any way to cure the current anti-entropy?" With such concerns, Theresa came to Tesla and their temporary office. Just as I was about to knock on the door, I heard voices talking inside. "Doctor, do we really want to keep them in the base? I can't bear a second attack. What should we do if they attract new enemies?" It should be someone in charge of the base. Theresa's eyes became dim. Most of the base was destroyed. I'm afraid there has been a lot of complaints inside Anti-Entropy. "Okay, I got it. I'll deal with their affairs later." Dr. Einstein's voice sounded weak. Because Walter almost died, she, who used to be a close partner, had not slept much during this period. Now she had no energy to deal with these trivial matters. However, this was already a problem that could not be ignored by the people in the base. He did not just leave, but instead explained his thoughts.
"I understand your considerations, Doctor. Anti-Entropy is now uniting with the Far East branch of the Mandate of Heaven, and they need support in many areas. That is the Herrscher of the Void. Although we all know that the person who attacked the base was not her, for most of us, what they saw was the Herrscher of the Void destroying the base." "Many people saw with their own eyes that it was the white-haired girl who killed the leader. She was the one who destroyed the entire base beyond recognition." "Even if we can explain it, what should we do next? Even if no new enemies arrive, she herself is a huge threat. Once she loses control, all of us will die here." "Doctor, we are just ordinary people. We can't fight against the Herrscher at all. Even if the Houkai energy is leaked, it can take our lives." Einstein had a headache. She was of course aware of these things. After examining Kiana, she discovered that the erosion on her body could no longer be solved by treatment.
