The 'comet' landed on the ground, and the Honkai beast trapped underneath was still squirming. When Ryan stepped on it hard again, it finally fell into a deep sleep like a baby.
The gunshots and roars stopped together, and the dozen or so remaining soldiers raised their heads together and looked at the shirtless man. Because he was standing on Adityas body, Ryan was actually taller.
No one spoke, their minds still flashing with disgust from their first encounter, but when the monster crushed and cut off the Honkai beast, the disgust was replaced by awe.
'I had forgotten this guy is a doctor.'
Himiko had a thousand things to complain about. She just couldn't connect that frail scholar with this war like strong man. His evenly defined muscles were full of beauty and exuded masculinity.
Boom.
Ryan tilted his head, jumped off the corpse, and walked towards the group of remnants. His grey eyes did not show any sign of fatigue, but instead shone like stars.
He passed by the wounded Himeko and patted her shoulder gently: "Remember to finish off the enemy."
The woman blinked and immediately reacted. This was not the time to be shocked. She quickly made a gesture and asked her subordinates to finish off the enemy. She turned around and her eyes flickered several times.
"Ryan, you are a perfect warrior!"
The man paused, turned around, and smiled faintly: "No, I'm a scientist, I'm just very reasonable."
...
Himeko was speechless for a moment. She glanced at Adityas body. The wounds were all full of tear marks, as if they had been torn apart by some tremendous force.
This is not just a principle, it is the truth.
"Just do your job, why are you talking nonsense to this humanoid monster?"
Ryan didn't have the energy to talk nonsense. Controlling the Honkai energy was very energy-consuming, and his body was showing uncontrollable fatigue, but he was in very good spirits. He found a broken wall to sit down, and couldn't help but smile when he looked at the broken body of the Emperor level Honkai beast.
Another big step forward. It turns out that the way to explore is to constantly hone yourself and challenge the unknown.
This maybe not be as simple and direct as devouring, but every time he crosses the threshold, he will not only gain strength, but also a strong sense of joy, which makes him feel alive.
Explore the unknown step by step, move forward step by step, and with every step forward, I can gain more.
He spread out his hands, and energy gathered in his palms. The originally flickering energy of Honkai a flame gradually stabilized, and was stretched, stabilized, and condensed, gradually forming the shape of a dagger.
It was like gradually changing from an energy state to a solid state, making Ryan squint his eyes and explore the mystery inside.
'Energy shaping, this is the ability discovered from Adityas.'
Ryan touched his chin, transforming the energy over and over again as if he was playing with clay. He fell into a state of contemplation, and after about two minutes, he roughly understood.
"The energy wavelength was scattered before. I could only barely focus on an object and use the Houkai energy itself to dissolve and cut it. It was essentially the same as burning someone with a torch. Without soul steel, the torch itself could not withstand the burning."
It is now more stable and more focused. When swinging your arms, you can even hear the sound of breaking through the air. However, the shortcomings are also obvious -
"It consumes a lot of energy, and it is difficult to maintain this stable structure during high-intensity combat, just like steel that is too hard but lacks toughness."
As a researcher, Ryan was not like a reckless man who only knew how to use the ability. He thought about the nature of the ability and soon found an advanced use for it.
It condenses outside the weapon to form a light blade for cutting, and can sometimes be used to ambush people. After returning, find a suitable weapon in the Far East Branch.
Soul steel has not yet been fully developed, but humans also have super pressure alloys that can resist Honkai energy. However, this thing is not only expensive, but also difficult to forge.
It's difficult but I have to do it. When the Honkai energy I can control is close to 500HW, I can make good use of this shaping ability to enhance my combat power by another 30%.
Ryan was still thinking about the third Herrscher. He estimated that although it would still be a dead end to face the Herrscher directly, he was still capable of posing a threat. Besides, who stipulated that it had to be a one-on-one duel?
Just as he was thinking about calling Elysia, he heard the roar of paddle blades in the air. Ryan subconsciously raised his head and saw a spectacular scene.
Dozens of helicopters are coming, and dense track lights fill the night sky. The explosions from the passing fighter planes are even more deafening. God knows how many bombs are flying in the sky.
We arrived within fifteen minutes, which is not slow.
Ryan did not mock. In fact, during the battle, the air force had already come to support, but the two sides were entangled with each other and could not bomb. This was also the weakness of the army.
A thousand kilogram bomb is indeed powerful, but even with laser guidance it is impossible to hit it accurately, not to mention that Honkai Beast is not a fool and will not stand there waiting for you to bomb it.
"You guys, hurry up and grab him!"
Ryan suddenly heard Himeko cry, and subconsciously stepped onto the top of the wall, and saw a figure in the middle of the pile of Honkai beast corpses.
He was a ragged young man, lying on the ground like a wolf, picking at the corpse of the Honkai beast as if he was going to stuff it into his mouth, while the soldiers around him held down his shoulders and tried their best to drag him back.
"Let me go, mother and sister. I want to kill them all, not a single one left alive!"
A heart wrenching sound echoed, filled with despair and anger. This was not a wolf, but clearly a demon.
"What's going on?" Ryan turned his head and looked at Kevin beside him.
"While cleaning the battlefield, the major found a survivor. They were hiding in the basement, but except for this teenager, all the others were infected and died." Kevin answered while looking at the boy who was struggling desperately, his eyes filled with fear.
He suddenly remembered something. If Mei, Sue and Ryan all died, would he become like this? He shuddered as he thought about it.
"Don't think too much. Just take this boy back for psychological counseling and hypnosis. But I don't think Fire Moth will do that."
"Why?"
Ryan turned his head to look at Kevin and said word by word: "Because this is a rare talent."
The young man was speechless. He knew that the boy could survive until now without any protection, so he must have a high adaptability to Honkai. Coupled with this hatred, he would definitely not waver.
But is this fair? To make a person live in despair and hatred forever, with the entire meaning of life being to kill and destroy.
"It's scary, isn't it? Don't be that kind of person." Ryan suddenly patted him on the shoulder and smiled meaningfully: "There are actually quite a few people like this, but because they try too hard, few of them can survive."
"Ryan, why do I feel like you are implying something to me?"
"No way, you are so lucky, you have a girlfriend, you have brothers, and now your strength has improved a lot, you are not as powerless as him and can't protect anything."
"Well, I killed a lot of Honkai beasts this time, and my record is second only to Major Himeko. I will definitely be able to protect Mei in the future!" Kevin immediately retracted his gaze, full of confidence.
After five days of bloody battles, he suddenly found himself very strong, and believed that if Adityas came out again, he would not be so dumbfounded.
"Congratulations on your graduation as a recruit, and did you forget to mention protecting your brothers?"
"You are so freaking powerful, and you still need me to protect you?" Kevin rolled his eyes and said sullenly, "If only I could control Honkai energy, I could prevent such tragedies."
"What? You still want to save the world?"
"It's not that great, but if you have the ability, wouldn't it be better to protect more people? If you aim to protect the happiness of all mankind, you will be more motivated!"
He is indeed a passionate young man and a born hero.
Ryan didn't attack Kevin. This guy cheats were no less than his own, and his strength had improved visibly. As long as he didn't turn into a madman, he was too lazy to interfere.
"Then take a good rest and change your equipment. Once we have finished cleaning up here, we will continue on our way."
"Where to?"
"Don't you want to be a hero?" Ryan turned his head and raised his fist. "Of course I will continue to hunt and save more people."
After saying that, he ignored Kevin who was in a daze and rushed to clean up the scene.
Ryan idea is actually very simple. While he is still here, he will try his best to improve Kevin strength. After all, this guy looks sunny, but if his psychological support Honkais, he will turn evil and be more terrifying than anyone else.
He vaguely remembered that Mei would also become a thorn in the eyes of certain forces. Don't let the butterfly effect cause Mei to be directly assassinated. That ending would be more terrible than a crazy savior.
If Kevin becomes a Herrscher...
Ryan stopped when he thought of this. The scene was too beautiful, he dared not think about it. He looked up and saw Himiko walking towards him with a satellite phone, cursing.
"That brat really doesn't know what's good for him. Can he just eat the corpse of a Honkai beast?"
"People like this won't live long. Hatred alone won't accomplish anything. So why are you so angry?"
"I was just about to drink a can of beer to relieve my fatigue, but that brat knocked it over!" Himiko was full of resentment, but as a reliable adult, she did not get angry with a teenager and just threw the satellite phone over.
"Yes, someone is looking for you."
Ryan took it in his hand and was a little confused: "Is it above?"
"I don't bother to pay attention to them. I would have killed them for you long ago." Himeko waved her hand disdainfully and suddenly became serious.
"It's our own."
One of us?
Ryan hesitated instead. He didn't want to have too much contact with the young group of Fire Moth, so as not to get caught up in the power struggle. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. This thing is very troublesome.
Just as I was about to hang up, I heard a familiar voice in the receiver.
"Hey, hey, hey, come on, why is the signal so bad at this time?"
Ryan was slightly taken aback by the lively tone.
Elysia?
