York City - "New Arcadia Energy Research Department" main office building

When Rin woke up from the blind darkness, his body seemed to be in a sea of ​​stars. He was suspended in mid-air, leaning down to look down at the planet suspended in the sea of ​​stars. Then, he seemed to feel,

The energy in his body was being extracted, and at the same time, this strange voice came from his mind:

"My believers...the descendants left on earth...it's time to wake up."

A brand new, ancient and somewhat pale will was slowly occupying his mind at this time. Rin stretched out his hand to touch the starlight in front of him, but he no longer felt his own feelings. He could not feel his limbs, as if

They are not on their bodies at all.

When an old voice came from the luminous sphere, he realized where he was. The luminous sphere in front of him was translucent, and inside there was a tall humanoid creature whose whole body was white. There was a missing ring on its head.

It has a quarter of a circular ring, and it can be seen from the muscle tissue all over its body that it is a male organism.

However, that old voice was a combination of male and female, and it seemed familiar. When he recalled that familiar voice, he could not think of anything. Moreover, he just felt that such a voice was familiar,

But I don't know where I heard it.

He called out the names of Nielai and Nieb in his consciousness, but received no response. However, that old and distant voice still echoed in his ears, and said this sentence:

"The first trial has been issued...the trial called 'Despair'."

This majestic and solemn sound slowly came from the humanoid life form. At this time, Lin didn't know what was happening to him. The dusty energy in his body was also turning into luminous energy at an extremely fast speed.

The star fragments separated from his body and were injected into the huge organism in front of him.

At this time, "Source Number" Knapp was also ready to start the final work of the "Rebirth Plan". He ordered a few people who were looking at the "Rin" cabin in front of them, and motioned them to take a better look at this kid.

Don't let the instrument explode with a "bang".

The researcher said to Knapp: "Sir Knapp, the condition of the experimental subject has stabilized, and the current fusion level is about 60%."

"Jiejiejie, very good. If we continue like this, our great cause will be completed... Lord Agnes will lead us to the path of 'evolution', and this 'incomplete body of God' will also be awakened by us.

… Jie Jie Jie.”

The young man in the experimental cabin was none other than Rin, and in front of the huge cabin, Knapp's short body, covered by a gray cloak, was also letting out a harsh sneer. To him,

He gave up his identity as a "human" long ago and joined the glorious evolution in order to respond to Lord "Agnes"'s expectations of him.

He used his Herrscher-like ability "data transmission" to capture Bronya and the others, but only took Rin out alone and locked her in an experimental cabin that was integrated with "Despair's Da Gama".

Inside, transport the "unknown energy" in Lin's body into that huge incomplete body.

The huge, dilapidated figure of "Desperate Vasco da Gama" was right in front of the staff. The tall human figure covered with a snow-white mysterious metal substance was curled up like an unborn baby.

In a group, placed in a tall column behind the cabin.

This is "Hope", one of the "Ten Heavenly Saints", and is also recorded in the literature of the Gama people as the "god in charge of hope and despair". And it was also from "the God of Hope" before the "New Destiny" was established.

The things excavated from the "Ancient Gamma Ruins Under the Tide" seem to have been buried there for a long time and have never been discovered.

This remnant body of "Va Gama of Despair" is the core of the rebirth plan. Agnes is possessed by the will of "Va Gama of Despair", and he naturally wants to bring down the name "Ten Days Trial" in this world.

"The existence of "naturally wants to resuscitate this broken body and use it for himself.

Agnes used the new cells split from Da Gama of Despair to transform most people in the Polaris Alliance into "Herrschers" who are half human and half Honkai creatures. Only creatures like "gods" can create Laws.

However, since this body is still in an incomplete state, the "Herrscher" created is also incomplete. At most, it can be regarded as a "superpower" and does not possess the power of the "Herrscher".

"Lord Knapp, what do you think of dealing with the remaining people?"

The "remaining people" in this subordinate's mouth are of course Bronya and the others. At this time, Bronya and the others were imprisoned in a specially treated cage specially used to guard Honkaimon.

It can isolate the use of all Honkai abilities of the living body within it, making the imprisoned target relatively quiet.

Bronya was asleep in the experimental cabin called the "cage". In her consciousness, she seemed to be in boundless darkness.

"The oldest woman, I am more interested in her previous information... the former supporter of the 'Fourteen Herrschers of the Creation Star - The Herrscher of Reason'. She has now lost all Herrscher powers, but now

, ‘God’ is right in front of us. For things like God, the ‘Herrscher’ is a small and useless thing. Watch her carefully and don’t let her escape.”

Knapp said proudly with a sharp voice that was rubbed against the glass. The sound was completely different from what any normal human being could make. After the researchers learned of Knapp's order, they said:

"Yes, I'll do it right away" and left with the documents.

"boom."

At the same time, the door of the Energy Research Institute was blasted open, and three motorcycles broke through numerous obstacles and finally arrived here. Knapp also heard the news and quickly got up to rush to the place where the accident occurred. He knew that he came here to look for it.

Who is the troublesome person? He also smiled and said:

"We're finally here...the traitors."

Although it is called "Energy Research Institute", the internal structure is the same as that of a factory. There are a large number of abandoned and intact experimental cabins stored in the underground area. Inside the cabins, they are all covered with snow-white skin.

Humanoid monster.

Those are the products of failed fusion with "Va Gama cells". They are things that New Arcadia illegally uses the human body to conduct taboo experiments. They move in the same way as Da Gama's mother body - curled up, like an unborn baby.

Generally, they are waiting for the arrival of new life. Ryan knew that the "taboo experiments" stored here were abominable creations that desecrated the identity of human beings. He was also filled with righteous indignation and asked Aiden: "Boy, do you want to take these?"

Everything is destroyed?"

Aiden said not to alarm the snake yet. They were able to get here amidst the siege of the New Arcadia armed personnel and had already made a lot of noise. If this continues, Knapp's highest alert might notice this place. They

One must proceed with caution.

The location they were in was an abandoned experimental area in the underground waterway. This was an area used to store abandoned experimental subjects. Although they did not find any guards when they first entered here, a huge, heavy-security Titan was not far away.

The robot caught their attention. This Titan robot was guarding the upper passage and was deploying its search and scanning device, constantly looking around, trying to find intruders.

"That guy is a giant autonomous combat weapon manufactured by Shenli Heavy Industries." Ryan recognized the huge guy. "I didn't expect Knapp to buy such a thing to guard the underground area."

Aiden was about to signal his men to join him in destroying this huge obstacle and said, "Get ready, everyone." Jingliu and Nourni also responded affirmatively to Aiden's instructions and took out their weapons.

, prepare to fight.

Everyone charged towards the huge mechanical Titan. When the Titan's red light scanning device detected the enemy, it switched to attack mode, showed the saws on both arms, and attacked the four people.

Before Aiden, Jingliu and the others were close to the giant Titan, Nourni used her holy carving skills to summon a huge flame nova, which exploded at the feet of the Titan, making a bright "boom" sound.

There was a noise. Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and even the ceiling began to collapse.

"Is it still too powerful? I'm sorry." Nourni realized that her firepower was too powerful, so she put away her staff and apologized to everyone.

Aiden said that there was no need to apologize, since this place was going to be destroyed anyway. So, after everyone confirmed that Titan had been killed by Norni with one shot and was incapacitated, they took the elevator in the underground area and prepared to move to the upper area.

This underground elevator requires New Arcadia employee certification to be used. When Ryan discovered that the employee ID he carried with him could drive this elevator, he was a little surprised.

"I didn't expect that my employee card could still be used...it's really a magical thing."

"It seems that Agnes didn't have time to erase the employee data you stored at the headquarters. Don't be too loose now. When you get to the upper level, you don't know what enemies you will encounter."

Just when the elevator was about to start, everyone was shocked to find that the huge Titan suddenly stood up and fired a string of missiles in the direction of the elevator.

"Boom boom boom."

The elevator is running. Through the transparent elevator mezzanine, everyone can see that the transparent explosion-proof material has begun to show signs of damage in large areas.

"What should we do? Mr. Aiden." Jingliu began to ask Aiden about the next countermeasures.

Aiden gritted his teeth and looked at the exit area above the elevator. He had to let the four people hold on to him, activate his Herrscher-like ability, turn everyone into a crowd of crows, and then forcefully fly up. Although this is more consuming.

He has enough physical strength, but he can only do this. He cannot put himself and his companions in danger. This is Aiden's first thought.

Just when the elevator was about to fall endlessly due to damage, a group of crows suddenly flew up, flew out of the damaged mezzanine of the elevator, and flew straight to the upper area. At the same time, Knapp was also leading

Following a group of armed personnel from New Arcadia, they searched for the invaders in the huge research institute.

He knew who was coming, and the people who knew this place, if they had not received external intelligence, were only members of the Polaris Alliance. He was sure that these people were the betrayers led by Aiden, and they were the only insiders.

Only then could they find this place, so they had no intention of letting them all go.

"Report to Mr. Knapp, the invaders are in area C3 and are heading to the upper level." One of his sentries said, and when he heard the defense of these intruders, Knapp also made a "Jie Jie Jie" sound and smiled arrogantly.

stand up.

"That's the only way to Vasco da Gama's cabin, but these 'experimental subjects' came to the door themselves. Do they think I don't have any countermeasures? Go and fight them with me.

catch."

So, he continued to lead people to the c3-b3 area, hoping to intercept these four people there. At this time, Aiden and the others had just arrived at the passage in the c3-b3 area, but they discovered a huge

Mechanical guardians guard the passage here.

It looks like a mixture of a crab and a spider, and is as tall as a floor. Although I don't know if it was Knapp's bad taste that made it look like this, but after it just discovered the four intruders,

It waved its two large mechanical forelimbs and rushed here with extremely fast movements. At this time, the missiles of the autonomous Titan-type weapons were also bombing the wall tissue outside the corridor. It must be the chasing Titan who arrived here.

, the structure of the entire suspended corridor began to become unstable.

Aiden arranged the battle for the team members and gave the order: "Norni, I leave the fire support to you, let's go!"

Jingliu, Aiden and Ryan were all ready to fight, took out their weapons and ran towards the giant spider machine. Behind them, Norni was also performing the chanting action of "Fire Technique: Crimson Three" and wanted to use it directly

Powerful spells that resolve battles with one shot.

I saw Ryan punching the front claws of the giant mechanical spider. The powerful impact shook the air. Shizuru also pulled out his knife and cut it into two pieces with a three-month strike. Aiden took out his revolver

, fired two shots at one of the mechanical compound eyes of the mechanical spider. The bullet penetrated its steel armor and penetrated deeply through the position of the compound eye.

"Warning, the body is damaged and begins to output maximum power."

After the mechanical spider's alarm sounded, the mechanical spider seemed to change its original mode of action and continuously attacked the ground of the suspended corridor. Cracks appeared on the ground, threatening to cut off the entire corridor.

"Fire Technique·Crimson Three·Fire Sun Nova!"

Nourni's spell was fired and exploded directly on the mechanical spider's body. The high temperature of the flames and the metal melting area emitted sparks, blowing up more than half of its body.

"Well done! Norni."

Faced with Aiden's compliment, Norni also smiled, said "hmm" and thanked Aiden for the compliment. Then, when the team members signaled the team to ignore the external impact and move forward,

Aiden noticed that a swift and sharp object penetrated the corridor floor that had just been destroyed by the giant mechanical spider.

It was the electric drill of the chasing Titan, which broke through the cracks in the ground and appeared in front of the four people. When everyone discovered that the chasing Titan was not dead yet, and when it came to pursue him, Knapp also came from behind with a large force, chasing and intercepting him.

four people.

"Go! Catch these four damn traitors!"

With the Mechanical Titan in front and the large army pursuing them behind, the four-man team of the New Arcadia Resistance was in trouble, trying to find a way to break through these two lines of defense at the same time.

"give it to me."

Jingliu stood still and made a gesture to draw his sword. The sword energy passed outside the ground where the four people were and formed a circle, surrounding the four people in the circle.

"Kamiliyu·Secret Sword·Koralan!"

The sword light was released, like a biting cold wind, spreading out from the circular sword energy, forming waves of sharp blades, attacking towards the attacking New Arcadia armed personnel, penetrating them

body, crushed into dust, and scattered in the air.

"You're still so powerful, Miss Jingliu." Ryan said with a laugh. "With security measures of this level, how could it be possible to stop the four of us?"

When Knapp saw this, he was also furious. He stretched out a hand from under his cloak and saw that the mechanical spider that had just been blown up by Nourni seemed to have been re-coded and repaired to the same level as before. Ryan saw that

The pursuing Titan had already charged forward, and he swung his iron fist and collided with the pursuing Titan's electric drill, using his tough body to provide a safe environment for the other four.

Aiden threw a crow and bit Ryan on the shoulder. In an instant, Ryan's body burst out with powerful force, shattering the incoming electric drill, and with another punch, the chasing Titan flew away very far.

distant location.

"Thank you." Ryan thanked him. "Your ability is still so useful. Boy Aiden, with your 'biohormone', I will have more than ten times the power! Come on!"

Aiden has just injected Ryan with biological hormones, which can improve his combat capabilities in a short period of time. At this time, he has become stronger than before, and it is not a problem to crush several chasing Titans with his bare hands.

The mechanical spider also attacked Ryan. After being injected with the hormone provided by Aiden, he became more brave and punched directly at the giant spider's huge chelicerae, blasting the mechanical spider into dust.

"Damn it... damn it! The four of you abandoned your consciousness as our compatriots and chose to go against Lord Agnes... It's unforgivable!"

Knapp also became hysterical, and he also started stomping his little feet, which made people laugh. The four of Aiden worked together to solve a large number of enemies, came to Knapp, and confronted him

.

"Tell me, where is the person you captured?" Aiden asked him.

Knapp did not answer, but after calming down, Knapp put his hands on his chest and crossed them, with an arrogant attitude of "What can you do to me?", laughed a few times, and then prepared to take off his cloak and talk to him.

These people fought to the death. He showed a ferocious face and expression. His true identity was a "short old man", but his face seemed to be spliced ​​together with human tissue, and he looked very disgusting. This is also

The reason why Knapp has never been willing to show his true colors.

"After working together for so long, you still don't know my true face, so... let you see it!"

The moment he took off his cloak, his originally short body began to swell and was covered in snow-white siliconized tissue, turning into a huge one-eyed terrifying monster with eight hands on its back.

"He's coming, everyone, be careful," Aiden ordered.

After Knapp liberated the Herrscher-like core in his body, he caused it to go berserk and undergo the same proliferative behavior as Ananya. The proliferative limbs on his back continued to grow and attacked the four of them.

"Crimson Four, Burning Embers!"

Nourni shot out a beam of fire, but when the flames penetrated Knapp's body, everyone discovered that his terrifying "digitization" ability actually turned the flames into part of the data in the imaginary number space and sent it out.

There was no chance of hurting him.

"You make me angry. As monsters like me... you actually choose to side with humans. Don't you know your current position? We are 'monsters', we are all 'monsters'!! You actually

Choosing to help humanity is unforgivable!!"

Knapp roared and spit out an imaginary dark blue light from his mouth. Although everyone dodged it, they found that the ground they were still standing on had begun to melt, revealing a dark sky area, and the biting cold wind also

It gushes out from the huge crack and blows on them.

"Run away." When Aiden said these two words subconsciously, Ryan quickly picked up Nourni, who was the slowest, and the four of them quickly fled in the direction of c3.

Although they moved very quickly, the huge monster turned into Knapp behind them was still chasing them. As it chased, it spit out data transfer light in the imaginary space, digitizing all the roads visible around it and disappearing.

.When they were in New Arcadia, they knew very little about Knapp. He was always very mysterious. Moreover, he was also one of Agnes' cronies, and they did not have many opportunities to interact with him.

However, when they raided the Energy Research Institute, they began to feel frightened by the terrifying power Knapp displayed. It was by no means an ordinary Herrscher-like one, and it was not even close to a "Herrscher" existence.

Too much.

When Marilyn attacked Destiny City, she also expressed to Hollander that with the help of the "Herrscher", they could easily break through the external restrictions of Maitreya and successfully attack Destiny.

"Jie Jie Jie, run away! Run away! I will eat you and become part of my body data! Jie Jie Jie." The oozing laughter was still chasing them, and they had no choice but to run for their lives.

At this time, Aiden didn't care anymore. He took out his communicator and sent a distress message to Tianming's headquarters. "The situation is urgent and we need support!" He wanted the senior members of the Council of Thirteen to send reinforcements.

Face this terrifying monster in front of you.

Ryan was holding Noelni, and the petite Noelni huddled up in the big man's arms, while Ryan was running with all his strength, and from time to time he would look back at Knapp who was catching up. He was running into the corridor.

At the gate at the end, an imaginary laser from Knapp struck again. Aiden quickly motioned for everyone to get down and let the laser penetrate the iron gate in front of them.

"If this continues, we won't be able to hold on for long... You three will leave first, and I will come to the rear."

Aiden's physical strength is close to the limit, not only when he turned into a crowd of crows and led everyone away when the elevator was destroyed, but also after experiencing the battle against those enemies, and now being chased by Knapp

When he was there, he now realized that he was about to reach his limit. If he continued like this, no one would be able to escape.

As a researcher, he didn't have many opportunities to fight, and his physical strength wasn't as strong as Ryan and Jingliu's. So after covering the three people's retreat, he faced off against the huge monster.

"Tell me, 'Doctor', I will convey your last words to Lady Agnes."

Aiden only saw huge black eyeballs approaching him, and the elder's sharp-toothed mouth followed him, sticking out a long, disgusting, sticky red tongue and spitting hot breath at him.

This is no longer a human being. The current Napp is a pure "monster". It neither belongs to "Honkai Beast" nor "Herrscher Mimic" or "Herrscher". It is completely absorbed.

A combat weapon powered by excessive Honkai energy and powered by the "Mimetic Herrscher Core".

When Aiden realized that he might have to use "that", he closed his eyes tightly and slowly said: "I'm sorry, sister...best friend...if you can still see me..." and did

I have made plans to live toward death.

"What are you talking about? 'Doctor', are these your last words?"

Aiden made up his mind that as a Herrscher, he also had abilities similar to "Mebius". The ability called "Corrosion Overload" caused the Herrscher core in his body to go berserk and turn into a peaceful one.

Only aberrant monsters like him have a chance to defeat it.

However, if he does that, his consciousness as Dr. Edward will cease to exist. From now on, he will never have the opportunity to meet Rin and sit in a coffee shop to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"Jie, Jie, Jie, there's nothing left to do, kid."

Just when Knapp was still triumphant and about to swallow Aiden in front of him, powerful energy burst out from Aiden's body. This energy was dark and void, and quickly swallowed Aiden's entire body.

I saw that Aiden's body was changing to a degree visible to the naked eye. Dark skin appeared on his body, dark feathers grew on his body, and his right eye became dark and deep. This man covered by a dark will

The King of Dark Night abandoned his human form and stood in front of Knapp. Aiden could no longer go back. That is, when the "erosion overload" was activated, Aiden instantly lost most of his consciousness and humanity.

"I didn't expect that you would choose this path in order to stop me..."

Although Knapp still retains human thinking, the Night Lord, who has turned into an evil ghost in front of him, cannot do this. As his body expands, the last trace of his humanity is about to disappear, and under the huge body

The sharp black wings on his body covered the giant crow wings he spread out, raising a dark storm and striking towards Knapp quickly.

"Ahhhhh!"

The sharp night storm, mixed with the sharp blade-like knives separated from the wings, danced on Knapp's silver-white body, penetrated and tore into pieces, while the Lord of the Night just waved his wings quietly and looked at what was in front of him.

The poor thing, the monster that lost its "personality", chose to embrace the monster of collapse.

Aiden, who had released all the core restrictions of the Herrscher, swung a punch at Knapp, piercing his entire body from his mouth, tearing it apart in one blow.

The only remaining human will was supporting his thinking. After spitting out a voice that no longer sounded like a human being, the crow-shaped King of the Night covered his head and let out an earth-shattering roar in pain. The only thinking,

In his painful roar, there were words he wanted to say to his relatives, friends and companions. And the words he wanted to say at this moment also turned into the roar of the monster, supporting him to continue fighting.

"I'm sorry, support is no longer needed. What if I'm not here by the time you get here... I'm sorry, Jingliu, Ryan, and Nourni, I'm very happy when I'm with you, really.

"

"Rin... I haven't met you for a long time, but you left a deep impression on me. You are one of the few friends of mine who is willing to listen to me. Thank you."

"Sister, I can no longer accompany you on your journey. Please forget about me from now on... If there is an afterlife, I will also be by your side. I am really... sorry."

At the same time, Ace, who was still meditating in the room, suddenly felt a subconscious pain in her chest. She realized that something had happened to Ed, and he would probably never come back. As his direct blood relative, Ed

The bloodline that connects Si and her brother, and which part of it belongs to her brother, is gradually withdrawn from her body.

"Agape...Agape..."

Thinking of this, she followed the blood connection, left the mansion, and ran in the direction of the New Arcadia Energy Research Department. At the same time, the three members of the team also heard the sound and realized that Aiden would never come back.

After that, Ryan put Nourni down, fell to his knees on the ground, and began to cry bitterly.

"Why...you have to do so much for us...Aiden, my best friend!"

Jingliu and Nourni also realized this, and their expressions became solemn. Looking at the tender man in front of them, Nourni also buried her face in Jingliu's abdomen and sobbed quietly.

He recalled the joke that Aiden made with him one day. At that time, Aiden was ready to sacrifice at all times and said to him with a smile:

"What if I die one day? Ryan."

"Haha, you are so powerful and smart, I don't think you can do it."

But now, the joke between the two of them has become a reality. Ryan doesn't believe that Aiden would choose to run away at this time, and neither do the other two, but that is the fact and cannot be changed.

The form of the dark king that Aiden has turned into is also changing. He has now transformed into a huge dark bat beast. He is far away from Ryan and the others, massacring any new Arcadian armed personnel who come to stop him.

.

"Gahhhhhhhh!!"

When he made such a sound, the armed men who came to support him were frightened and fled behind him. But the armed man could not escape, and the bat beast just waved its claws,

She penetrated his body and then drank his blood, falling into extreme madness.

"Mr. Edward, he died trying to stop Knapp."

With a sad mood, Jingliu responded to Tianming like this. In an instant, the people in charge of communications there also fell silent, and the air became as quiet as death.

The giant beast seemed to be conscious, and would only kill the armed personnel of New Arcadia, and move further and further away from Ryan and the others - that was Doctor Edward's last tenderness, in order to prevent his out-of-control self from harming his companions.

After choosing a place a little further away from them, he activated "Erosion Overload".

"I'm sorry...I can't...see you...again, dear friends, sister...please forgive me, I have to do this."

The giant beast was pacing, still muttering these incomprehensible words. Just when the giant beast was about to break through the next area guarded by the armed men, a sharp razor attack came towards the giant beast.

Come.

When the giant beast realized that it was being attacked, it noticed the person who came here. She was looking at herself with tears in her eyes. She was her sister, but Doctor Edward had turned into a strange beast.

Shi didn't recognize her, so he could only growl and roar at her.

"Ed, you are Ed..."

When Ace saw the huge bat beast, her instinct told her that it was her brother. The Herrscher-like core in her body had gone berserk and turned into what it is now. But there was no trace of the giant beast.

Emotions were attacking Ace with all his teeth and claws, opening his bloody mouth in an attempt to get more blood.

Upon seeing this, Ace subconsciously dodged away, calling his brother's name, trying to wake him up from the demon's body. At this time, Edward in the demon's body was still sleeping. In his dream, he saw what he wanted most.

The person you want to meet.

"You still look so ugly, you brat."

The short girl-like woman was wearing a snow-white researcher uniform, preparing breakfast for herself on the kitchen counter. It was Dr. Liesel, the adoptive mother who adopted him. He used to dislike his adoptive mother very much, but because

Dr. Edward was already in a state of crazy beast at this time, and the revolving door before he lost his mind was also played back and forth in front of his eyes.

"Dr. Liesel, I really want to call you 'mother'. This wish has been buried in my heart for too long."

"From the past until now, you have been so strict with me. I once wanted to escape from you, but I couldn't."

"Mom, if you can respond to me, then I will die without regrets."

Just when he was deep in thought, his head was suddenly hit hard. When he realized the pain, the person standing in front of him changed again. That was Dr. Michaeledia, who was yelling at himself

Why don't you write the report quickly?

Just when he was about to find an excuse to excuse himself, standing behind Michaeledia was a girl wearing a snow-white dress, blue eyes, and short white hair.

"Aqiya..."

His childhood sweetheart, his childhood sweetheart, although he is an experimental subject named "K594", his brother-sister feelings for Aiqiya are real. He really wants to accompany his sister to the end, but now he has

After becoming like this, I couldn't help but feel emotional.

Countless memories, accompanied by Ace's words calling from outside, impacted his mind.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Finally, under the call of his biological sister, the crazy beast stopped moving, fell on all fours in pain, covered his head and roared. At this time, Ace also lost her reason and couldn't stop approaching this beast.

The crazy beast cried and shouted:

"Ed! Wake up! I have made so much money. We will live in a bigger house and live a better life in the future... Everything I do is for you..."

"I can't live without you! Ed! If you abandon me so cruelly...what's the point of my life!"

Ace's eyes were soaked with tears. After she heartbrokenly expressed all her innermost thoughts, the giant beast's body began to turn into plaster-like crystals and scattered on the ground. Inside the remains of the giant beast,

It was Edward, half of his body had been infected by the Honkai Crystallization. Upon seeing this, Ace quickly ran up to him and hugged him into his arms.

He has lost his last strength. After devouring the body of "Source Number" Knapp, the Honkai infection threshold in his body has exceeded the standard, and there is no way to save him.

"Listen to me...sister...my time is running out...I hope you...return to Tianming...go back..."

As he murmured these words, he knew why his sister gave up the path of becoming a Valkyrie, and he also knew why her hatred was born.

"Ed, don't go, Ed..."

He used his last strength, and at the last moment when his arm collapsed and crystallized, he touched Ace's face, which was already soaked with tears.

"Sorry...I have to...take the first step...sister...I..."

Finally, before his farewell words could be uttered, Dr. Edward closed his eyes. The dark red crystals exposed in front of his chest also shattered as his eyes were closed tightly, turning into dark red dots of starlight, surrounding him.

He lives with his sister Ace and surrounds her.

Ace did not expect that when she and her brother met for the last time, she finally lost her former queenly demeanor. She lost her only blood relative and cried loudly on Dr. Edward's body.

It was at this time that Rin saw in his conscious mind a friend who suddenly came here. He was dressed in pitch black, with half of a crow mask, and he arrived like a righteous phantom thief.

The last thing that Dr. Edward can do for his best friend is to transmit his "last consciousness" into his best friend's mind through Source Knapp's ability, hoping that he will wake up soon.

"My dear friend, I finally see you. I have something to say to you. You don't have to answer. You just have to do what I say."

Rin realized that Dr. Edward had arrived and was about to ask him how he was doing, but he put his finger on his mouth to signal Rin not to speak. Rin felt the withering of vitality from his body, and because of this,

At this time, Rin could not control herself and began to sob. With a look of reluctance, she looked at her friend who had helped her countless times.

"The only one who can save yourself now is you. I have tried my best. So, if you are still conscious, please wake up quickly."

"You still have important things to do, so... please, wake up, you can't let 'Gama of Despair' continue to absorb the energy in your body, don't do this... Please don't be that cowardly you,

Be brave, okay? My best friend."

After saying these words, Dr. Edward's figure disappeared in front of Rin like black smoke, leaving behind mottled starlight. Rin also felt the disappearance of his best friend at this time, and slowly said:
Chapter completed!
