The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"The Sixth Herrscher...why hasn't he been killed?"

Mei murmured in disbelief.

"I was negligent..." Mikael was also speechless. This Sixth Herrscher was simply meatier than a certain Yaksha.

But he gradually came back to his senses and understood how the Sixth Herrscher came back from the dead this time - just like what Mei did in Changkong City in the plot, the Herrscher took the initiative to cut off the connection with the core at the moment when the core was separated from the body. The connection formed a state of suspended animation, and then re-communicated with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, causing the original Herrscher core to disappear, and the new Herrscher core to be generated directly in her body...

But it’s meaningless to understand this now.

"Heh... Alicia... now humans can indeed be defined as extinct biologically."

Mei was leaning against the railing, her voice extremely hoarse. Along with her words, an emotion called despair spread uncontrollably.

Ellie didn't reply, but let the evening wind blow her hair into chaos. The hair was flying and struggling, as if a desperate person wanted to pluck off the sunset wrapped in sunset and use it as a torch to illuminate the whole world again. world.

But that was just the sunset.

Its light is but the final reflection.

"..."

Mikael didn't know what to say.

There is no trace of the injuries on his body. He directly reconstructed a body, which is easy for him now.

Yes, it was easy. He obviously had new strength, and he could easily do things that he couldn't do before. But in the end, he still couldn't do anything.

Even if it's just an insignificant world bubble in the quantum sea, he can't save it.

"Thank you, Mikael." Ellie said softly.

She was thanking Mikael for saving her and Mei at the previous moment, but such a rescue was meaningless - the world had come to an end, and no one could save it.

"If you think about it carefully, you have said goodbye to me so many times, but you really didn't make it every time... So, this time it's my turn to say goodbye to you!"

But Mikael was unmoved. He closed his eyes and leaned on the railing on the roof like Mei, thinking about something in his heart.

Suddenly, Mikael and Mei opened their eyes at the same time.

"I……"

Just as Mikael was about to speak, Mei interrupted him forcefully:

"So, Mikael, since you claim to be from another similar world, can I ask you a question?"

She pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose, her eyes flashing with extremely suppressed excitement and curiosity, as if the despair just now had never existed.

"What?"

"Is there something wrong with the world we live in?"

"..." Michael turned his head, avoiding Mei's sight. He was silent for a few seconds, and then nodded slightly: "That's right. How did you find out?"

"Ah... well..." She took two steps to Ai Li and took off a micro bug from her back, "I heard all your conversations."

"That's all?"

"Yes, that's all. From your words, I can get a rough idea. In your world, you should have a good relationship with Alicia, and Kevin, Mebius, Hua, Himiko, The same is true for Hen. Of course, I have never heard of the name Ying, and I don’t know who it is. Generally speaking, you have always maintained a state of conflict between sensibility and rationality. Your rationality seems to be telling you that here. Everything has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to care too much, and your sensibility obviously fails to suppress this rationality.”

"As expected of Mei..." Mikael touched his nose and asked, "But what does this mean? Maybe I just have a cold and withdrawn character?"

"Perhaps. But if you were really 'cold', why didn't you leave immediately when reason clearly outweighed emotion? Why did you say goodbye in the name of saying goodbye, but in fact you wanted to stay with Alicia longer? What about last time? This reminds me... Let me give you an inappropriate analogy: It's like you are looking at a photo left by a deceased person. This photo is very important to you because the image on it is you. The person you love, but it’s not very important because the person you really love is no longer there.”

"..."

"Okay, this ends the argument about how I discovered this. Now...Mikael, I want to know the truth of everything. What is happening to our world?"

"Mei, do you really want to know the truth that much?"

Mikael looked at the lifeless city in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"If you want to know the truth, you must be prepared to bear the pain caused by the truth."

The sky gradually dimmed from pale green to a distant deep blue, leaving only a small residual fire in the west emitting a blood-like echo.

Mei looked at Alicia, who nodded in response, so Mikael knew that the cruel truth could no longer be concealed and should not be concealed.

"Your world has actually been destroyed long ago."

Regardless of whether the other two people could accept it, Mikael quickly said to himself: "This world, I call it the World Bubble. You can understand that everything that happens here is the legacy of a world that has died. Of course, this is just my simple understanding and may not be correct, but I am certain that the world bubble is just an unstable structure. One day, everything here will be called "Quantum World". The sea's spatial infiltration is like an invisible boundary."

"call……"

Mei caressed her chest gently and exhaled a long breath: "In other words, no matter how hard we struggle, we can't change the fate of being destined to perish, right?"

"Um……"

Mikael only uttered one syllable and fell into silence at a loss.

"So, Mikael, what did you want to say at the beginning?"

Ellie suddenly asked.

"ah?"

Only then did Mikael remember that he had something to say, but was interrupted by Mei.

"I... won't leave this world yet."

"Um?"

"I was in a hurry to leave, mainly because of the time factor. But I just used the power of space to sense the movement speed of this world bubble... In short, the time flow here is almost suspended compared to my intrinsic world. So I can stay here for a long time.”

Time has always been just an artificially defined dimension, its essence is nothing more than movement. It is actually not difficult to perceive the flow rate of time. As long as you in turn perceive the movement of space, the movement of electromagnetic waves, the movement of heat and collapse energy, you can roughly judge the flow rate in the time dimension.

"Moreover, my original world has not yet developed to the point of the sixth collapse, so using the experience of fighting against the Sixth Herrscher in this world bubble may be helpful to my future - of course, I have not There is no guarantee that this behavior will lead to changes in the power of the Sixth Herrscher in my original world...but I have to try."

After Mikael said this, he looked at Mei and Ellie, and saw the two of them looking at each other and suddenly showing a weird smile.

"Um?"

"that……"

Ellie brushed her hair from her temples.

"Actually, we do want to ask for your help on this matter..."

"What?"

Mei turned her head away and said nothing.

Alicia had been brewing for a long time, and a flawless smile suddenly bloomed on her haggard face: "Oh my! With just a few words and a few looks, we were able to reach an agreement. This is the first time that Mei and I have such a tacit understanding... "

At this moment, she seemed to have thrown away all her sorrow, along with the perished human civilization and the fate of the world that was doomed to perish. At this moment, Alicia, who had shed everything, stood in front of Mikael and said: The first, the most familiar posture of Mikael, gently poked his cheek:

"Mikael, I don't know how this world came to an end... But... even if it's just a reflection, even if it can't change anything at all, I still hope that I can draw a bright future for this world and human civilization in this world. A perfect ending. It can be grand, it can be imperfect, it can even be tragic, but it must exist in this way... It has a beginning and an end!"

"ah……"

Mikael snorted softly, and a tear fell into a line, merged into the sunken cheek, and stuck to Alicia's fingers.

He reached out his hand and gently held Ai Li's finger that was poking at his cheek and unwilling to let go.

"Ah...I understand...I will work with you to kill the Sixth Herrscher as a...parting gift to your world..."
