Chapter 214 The mob
"Snapped!"
This is the sound of a hand gently stroking a cheek.
Although she knew the captain definitely didn't mean it, Mei, who was closest to the captain, still subconsciously slapped him.
Not to mention Mei, even Theresa and Fu Hua, as elders, had never seen such a pure male body before, and they all blushed.
Not to mention Seele, who was now blushing and hiding behind Fu Hua.
He didn't forget to cautiously peek out to observe the captain.
The captain knew he couldn't explain himself no matter what, so he simply smiled apologetically and found a secluded spot to put on his clothes.
Fortunately, perhaps because four more people suddenly arrived, the Herrscher of Domination, out of caution, did not launch a sudden attack, which successfully gave the captain a little time to put on his clothes.
After changing his clothes, the captain appeared before everyone looking refreshed, as if he were not on the battlefield at all.
When everyone saw the captain reappear, recalling the shocking scene from just now, they felt their blood rushing to their faces.
It seems they will have a hard time forgetting what just happened for a while.
Knowing that she shouldn't be offline for too long, the Herrscher of Domination finally descended before everyone in her main form.
Because He knew that the captain would not give up until He appeared, especially now that there were four more people, which would only make it faster for them to destroy His clones.
However, repairing and manipulating these puppets requires Him to expend His own Honkai energy, even though this is an imaginary space with an inexhaustible supply of Honkai energy for the Herrscher of Domination to use.
However, if the rate of Honkai energy consumption exceeds the rate of recovery, it's only a matter of time before the Herrscher of Domination is dragged into a weakened state and then exposed.
Rather than doing that, it's better to just give up and go all out.
If I face these five enemies at my peak, I might still have a chance to turn the tide.
"So He is the Lawgiver of Domination?"
“Yes.” The captain nodded and said, “He is the source of all Herrschers of Domination—Herrscher of Domination: The Mob. Once we defeat Him, everything will be over.”
The mob's crimson double pupils were now fixed on the captain, as if they wanted to devour him alive at any moment.
He couldn't understand where this man who called himself the captain got this information from.
He had been lurking in the shadows the whole time and hadn't shown himself at all!
Even the three major organizations themselves had infiltrated many people, but no one could answer where the captain's intelligence came from.
This is understandable, since the fact that the captain traveled from another future world is a secret, and very few people in the three major organizations know about it.
Which one of them isn't a core member of the organization?
Even aside from Theresa's faction, no one else knows about this matter, oh, and maybe Otto does.
Therefore, it is normal that the Law of Domination does not know about this matter. If He were to know, it would be a cause for concern as to whether any organization has been completely infiltrated.
"why?"
"Huh? Why?"
"How do you know so much?"
In the end, the mob succumbed to their curiosity and asked a question.
"You want to know? But why should I tell you?"
"Hahaha!" The rabble laughed in anger. "That's right, we're enemies, so there's no reason for us to give each other information for nothing. But fine, you're all going to die here today!"
After saying that, the mob launched several pillars made of golden gears, the Honkai energy contained within them making everyone break out in a cold sweat.
However, the captain quickly split the pillars in two, then briefly introduced all the abilities of the mob to everyone present, and then launched an attack.
Fu Hua glanced at the captain's hand in surprise, then followed the captain's steps and ran towards the rabble.
The other three were about to step forward to help when they were blocked by puppets that fell from the sky.
With no other option, the three had to clear out the enemies in front of them first, so they all brandished their weapons, and various doll fragments flew everywhere.
The scene was spectacular.
Meanwhile, the magnet is on another battlefield.
The rabble held its own against two opponents.
After being repelled once again, the captain couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Number 17, who had turned into Honkai consciousness, was not very kind.
Who would strengthen an enemy to this extent? You have to understand that Fu Hua now is the Fu Hua of her prime, with her physical body at its peak.
Although her sword heart is still broken and unusable, she has the Herrscher Core! She can use the Herrscher Core to replace her sword heart and use the Void Sword Qi, can't she?
Even so, when facing the captain who possessed the physical attributes of a Herrscher and the aid of the Divine Key, as well as Fu Hua in her prime, she still managed to fight the rabble to a draw.
This was even with the rabble still having to focus on controlling the puppets. Without those puppets distracting him, the captain couldn't even imagine how strong this rabble really was!
I always thought I could handle it all by myself, but reality gave the captain a harsh slap in the face. It seems I was too overconfident!
"Why help humanity? We are both Herrschers, and we are well aware of the darkness in this world."
The voices of the mob, a mixture of men, women, children, and even the elderly, seduced the captain and Fu Hua.
"Why can she be chosen but I can't? What does 'colorful black' mean? There are too many injustices and unreasonable demands in this world. Humans are like this, persecuting their own kind for their own benefit. How can such a world be beautiful?"
"Perhaps humans have their flaws, but they also have many strengths. You are merely an existence born from absorbing the negative emotions of countless people, so how can you represent all of humanity?"
"You talk the talk, as if you can do it too!"
“I certainly can’t,” the captain said, “but at least I’m human, and you’re not even human.”
"Even I, as a human being, cannot represent all of humanity, so what right do you have? Or are you merely a personification of one of all human emotions, yet you dare to generalize from a single instance?"
"Then tell me, what have humans learned from ancient times to the present, besides making the same mistakes? Why won't you admit that humans are a despicable race and shouldn't exist in this world!"
"That's why you're not qualified to represent humanity! You only see that humans make mistakes, but you don't see that they learn from those mistakes and avoid repeating them, nor do you see the amazing courage they display in times of crisis..."
As he spoke, the captain looked at the rabble with a pitying gaze.
"Human beings are like this, with many flaws, often falling down but getting up again and continuing to move forward. And you are nothing but a mob that only lament and complain about your failures."
"Shut up! Don't look at me like that! This world isn't a good place, can't you understand that?"
The mob finally couldn't hold back and shouted, and His attack followed immediately.
But how could an attack launched while already in a state of panic possibly harm the captain and Fu Hua?
The two men casually dodged the attacks of the rabble while launching their own attacks.
Unfortunately, their attack power was still insufficient. No matter how much the captain and his men attacked the rabble, they still couldn't get a single wound.
The good news is that because the rabble's attention was focused on the captain, Mei and her team were under much less pressure, and even the destroyed dolls stopped being restored.
The three of them finished cleaning the dolls and rushed over in no time.
Just as the captain was racking his brains about how to break through the motley crew's defenses, Theresa arrived with her oath of Judah.
The captain's eyes lit up as he looked at the Oath of Judah in Theresa's hand.
"Dean, may I borrow your Judas?"
Before Theresa could even give her consent, the captain had already spoken.
With the Oath of Judah slung over her shoulder, Theresa charged toward the rabble. She reached out and watched the captain's figure gradually disappear into the distance. With no other option, she had to teleport to the Imitation of Judah to provide support first.
"Hey! Judas isn't something you can just borrow like that. I haven't even agreed yet!"
The captain glanced at Theresa, who had rushed over, and said, "Dean, leave this to me. You should evacuate first, or I won't be responsible if you get caught in the crossfire."
After saying that, the captain accelerated and pulled Theresa further away. Seeing that she couldn't stop the captain no matter what she did, Theresa gritted her teeth and sped up as well.
Then Theresa felt her feet sink and her whole body ache terribly.
It was as if something was tearing his body apart, and even the Honkai energy within him went dormant.
Is this Judah's zeroth rated power?
Although Theresa wanted to deny it, this unforgettable pain kept reminding her that this was Judas's zeroth rated power.
Before there was time to think, Theresa's legs buckled and she knelt on the ground, even sliding a short distance due to inertia.
"When did you learn about zero rated power?"
Theresa looked helplessly at the returning captain and asked.
"I already told you to step back first. Don't blame me if you get caught in the crossfire, why won't you listen?"
The captain, feeling utterly helpless, helped Theresa up from the ground. In order to completely neutralize the rabble, the captain chose to fully activate Judah's Oath Zero Rated Power - Divine Grace Barrier.
Even though the barrier's range was deliberately compressed to ensure its strength, Theresa was still too close and was affected.
Due to Theresa's nature as a fusion warrior, she instantly lost all her power under the influence of this level of divine grace barrier.
Even the Honkai Beast factor within her body was affected. Originally, the captain had planned to have Fu Hua emulate the previous civilization's strategy against the Herrscher of Binding, allowing her to attack from outside the barrier's range.
Given the captain's physical strength and Kiana's backup plan, she would at most suffer a serious injury. Now, with Theresa added to her attack range, Fu Hua had no choice but to stop what she was doing.
And that's where the awkward situation comes in. To maintain the Divine Grace Barrier, the captain can't stray too far from the Oath of Judah. Reaching the vicinity of Theresa is already the limit.
If they wanted to send Theresa out, the divine grace barrier would inevitably be interrupted. By then, the rabble, already prepared, would not allow them to succeed so easily.
Fortunately, there were many people on their side, and Seele, who had already arrived, quickly led the exhausted Theresa to a safe area.
At this moment, Fu Hua, who had already been charging up her power, unleashed the long-awaited Tai Xu Sword God, and at the same time, thunder roared in the sky.
Mei activated her Godslayer Armor at full power, and the divine halo behind her lit up with a dazzling purple light. All the Honkai energy was concentrated on the floating cannons behind her and then blasted out.
Several purple beams of light converged in the air and shot towards the rabble with earth-shattering force.
The mob struggled to their feet, trying to leave, but the captain was destined not to do as he wished.
The captain used his remaining strength to activate the Oath of Judah, and instantly the chains of the Oath of Judah bound the rabble firmly to the spot.
The mob watched in despair as two forces powerful enough to tear Him apart hurtled toward them, and then, with a flash of white light, it was all over.
The captain dragged his heavily wounded body step by step to the last remaining wreckage of a doll.
"In the end, we still lost. Why?"
The Lawbinder, his voice weary, asked in bewilderment, "We clearly outnumber each other, so why?"
"Because you are just a mob, a mob that has gathered together to vent its discontent."
"But aren't we just as united as you? What is it about us that we're inferior to you?"
The captain countered, "Are you really united?"
"..."
The Ruler of Domination remained silent, for He knew that the people He had gathered on His side were not as united as they appeared.
Even at the very last moment, they were still arguing about what the outcome would be if they were in charge, lacking even half the tacit understanding that the captain and his team had.
"We lost."
The Law of Domination ultimately admitted its defeat, because that was the truth.
No matter how much He tries to argue, He cannot change this fact.
"But don't think this is the end for you! This is just the beginning! Look! The golden threads have already wrapped around you!"
"Kara!"
The puppet in front of the captain shattered once again, and the consciousness of the Herrscher of Domination vanished completely.
The Dominion Theater also began to collapse due to the loss of its master. Seeing this, Fu Hua quickly carried the seriously injured captain and reunited with the others.
Unfortunately, misfortune never comes singly. As the theater gradually collapses, the coordinates of the entire space also begin to become unstable.
The three doctors in the real world were unable to open the portal in the correct location, and in the end, with the captain's guidance, Seele broke open a portal to the real world.
The group then returned to the real world unharmed.
As a consequence, the captain was currently bound hand and foot, with every part of his body covered in plaster casts.
Left with no other choice, Jackal decided to stay and heal the captain first.
The main problem is that without the captain's guarantee, it wouldn't be safe for her to return to World Serpent alone.
So he had no choice but to wait under Anti-Entropy's surveillance until the captain recovered before letting the captain take him back.
