The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Welcome to my world, Sixth Herrscher."

The Herrscher glared angrily, as if she wanted to say something, but the space around her was tightly bound by Mikael, and she could only make a "wuwu" sound.

"Tch, every time I come here, I seem to become a talkative..."

Mikael laughed at himself and then activated his power without hesitation.

Compared to the Second Herrscher Core, he is actually not very compatible with the Third Herrscher Core. The Third Herrscher Core he has constructed now is already in an unknown number of versions, but he still cannot fully exert it. The strength that the Third Herrscher once displayed.

Naturally, the electromagnetic waves emitted cannot be strengthened to the state of ionizing radiation.

But this is not important. In this imaginary space that was forcibly intercepted by Mikael, he has relatively complete authority. Many things that cannot be done in the outside world can be easily done here.

Under the invisible ionizing radiation, the cells in the Sixth Herrscher's body began to die. Even though she tried her best to divide the cells, she still couldn't keep up with the speed of cell death.

"Woo!"

Her anger quickly turned into fear, and with a trace of despair and expectation in her eyes, she looked up at the red sky.

Mikael couldn't help but follow her gaze. In this imaginary number space, there is no artificial definition of direction, so Mikael cannot judge the Sixth Herrscher by "direction". Looking at something.

But almost at the same moment when he looked at the sky, a sight that could not be ignored even though it was tried to be hidden peered back at him.

In fact, he didn't see anything at all, but he definitely felt that something was staring at him, so that his whole body suddenly trembled.

That feeling was just like the feeling he felt when he suddenly encountered the advanced Honkai Beast when he was unarmed on the night he became the First Herrscher - fearful and powerless.

There's still a hint of... familiarity?

But all the feelings disappeared inexplicably.

It was like the sea rising and falling, leaving nothing but a trace of darker color on the wet sand.

But when Mikael's mind came back to his eyes, he found that the power of the Sixth Herrscher seemed to have been enhanced, and the speed of her cell division suddenly doubled, far exceeding the speed of ionizing radiation to kill cells - if this happens again If you go down, it will take less than a minute for the Herrscher to return to his original state!

"How could this happen! Did she gain energy by connecting to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers again? But shouldn't she just be a phantom in the world bubble? That's not right... She was able to connect to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers before and condense the core again... This What the hell are these settings!”

But before Mikael could come up with a countermeasure, the Sixth Herrscher's abnormal state disappeared again, and her cell division speed slowed down rapidly, even slower than before.

"Huh? Has your account been banned for cheating?"

Although Mikael was inexplicably surprised, how could he let go of such a good opportunity? The ionizing radiation directly doubled, and as the last cell in the Sixth Herrscher's body died, she gradually turned into fly ash and floated away, leaving only the aqua blue gemstone.

Mikael picked up the gem, and the scenery in front of him changed rapidly. He soon returned to the space of the world bubble, and his two feet overlapped with the footprints left in front of Ellie.

He raised the core of the Herrscher high and waved it in front of Alicia as if to show off:

"Look! I solved it! It seems like my method works!"

His eyes were still slightly red, and there were still tears on his cheeks, but under the dim light of Herrscher's core, he could clearly see that the same was true of Alicia, but she was covering it all up with a smile.

She took half a step forward, took a deep breath, and then asked, "So, are you leaving?"

"..." Mikael pondered for a moment and shook his head, "No, although we can indeed leave, I still have some questions to ask Mei."

"Ahem!"

The night wind was getting stronger and stronger. Standing on the roof, even though she was wrapped in the coat left by Kevin, Mei was still shivering from the cold. She could only cover half of her face with a stand-up collar and kept coughing. Her physical fitness is generally not good, but she seems to have some unexplainable talent - such as the fluctuation of space in front of her.

Sure enough, as she slowly raised her head, Mikael and Ally crossed the rift in space and appeared in front of her.

Seeing Alicia's unharmed figure, she raised her eyebrows in disbelief.

"solved?"

"Well, that's the core."

Mikael stretched out his hand, but May didn't take it.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the core of the Sixth Herrscher was already irrelevant to this world.

"So, you are still back here...do you have any questions to ask me?"

Mei did not ask how Mikael avoided the unsolvable choice, that was meaningless.

"I want to know when and where the fourth and fifth collapses occurred."

"Oh? So your world has just passed through the third collapse?"

When thinking about that time point, Mei also felt a little sad.

Before the third collapse, she and Kevin were both carefree students, as were many others. But the third collapse changed a lot... No, maybe that was the original destiny.

Therefore, Mei reported the time of the two Honkais and the corresponding longitude and latitude without much hesitation, but she still did not forget to remind: "The development of Honkai is random... Or let me put it this way, the quantum will change because of you. The observation behavior is collapsed, and the development of the world line is also the same. The development of your world is not completely equivalent to our world, so these two data are for reference only. "

"Well...well..."

Mikael responded casually, looking a little absent-minded.

He was obviously thinking about something else, so Mei didn't say anything, but gave Ellie a wink - after all, she couldn't help but be curious and wanted to know what happened just now?

But she had just taken two steps when Mikael spoke again:

"Dr. Mei, I think my previous judgment was wrong."

"Um?"

Mei turned her head, her expression gradually becoming serious - this was the first time that Mikael added the honorific "Doctor" to her name.

Mikael held his chin up and said word by word: "My previous expression may be wrong, maybe the world bubble is not all phantoms... Well, it seems I need to explain again:

“Suppose there is a tree, and countless worlds are the branches and leaves on this tree. We call it the tree of imaginary numbers, and the tree of imaginary numbers grows in a sea, and this sea is the quantum sea.

"The sea and the trees compete for nutrients, so withered leaves will fall into the water. There are countless small bubbles in the water, and the fallen leaves are reflected in the bubbles. This is the bubble of the world."

I don’t know if Mei is too smart, or the metaphor that Mikael plagiarized is too vivid, but she already understands what Mikael wants to express:

"You want to say that these bubbles reflecting the phantom are world bubbles, but not all world bubbles are like this? Those leaves that fell into the water are already heading towards irreversible decline, but they do not just fall into the water all at once. , may a world similar to a world bubble be formed in a place that has not been completely infiltrated by the sea water of the Quantum Sea?”

"Correct, but there is no reward." Mikael said quickly while biting his nails: "Because to be precise, this is not necessarily objectively correct. But your world is indeed different from the reflection in the general sense. It’s different, even if it’s really a reflection, it’s very… very… very awesome.”

This sudden down-to-earth word made Mei and Ellie twitch at the corners of their mouths, but Mikael didn't pay attention and continued to tell quickly: "The main problem lies in two points: first, you can interact with each other and have your own thoughts. In my opinion, many world bubbles may only leave images of a few words, and it is impossible to interact with them.

"Second, do you remember that the Herrscher re-condensed the core after the core was taken away? As a fellow Herrscher, I can responsibly say that this is because the Herrscher still maintains a connection with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, thus I regained power from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. If it were an ordinary world bubble, I think it would be more than that. However, there are also many divine skeletons named Imaginary Numbers in the Quantum Sea... Moreover, after the death of the Herrscher, this world did not enter immediately. cycle……

"Forget it, the more I talk about it, the more confusing it becomes. In short, you may not be as simple as phantoms..."

"so……"

"So..." Mei pushed up her glasses.

"So..." Alicia couldn't help but stand on tiptoes.

"Well..." Mikael hummed and quickly turned his head away, leaving only a side face, "So... I want to leave this world behind."

This is the question he has been thinking about and exploring just now - the structure of this world bubble is stable, and its corresponding position in "space" is also fixed, which means that it is one of the few with an ether anchor. World Bubble.

And where that anchor point is - Mikael lightly stamped his foot, and the spikes of his boots collided with the building, making a crisp impact sound.

In this case, this also means that Mikael can, like a certain stupid goose, invert this etheric anchor point and the entire world bubble into himself...

Although he did not understand the principle, he was able to complete this operation thanks to the power of the Herrscher of the Sky...referred to as the power of I Xunsi.

The reason for doing this is not emotional.

He knew very well that this love was not that love, and he could not always think rationally.

It is also impossible for him to turn the power of the World Bubble into star armor for use in battle - on the one hand, he does not know how to do it, and on the other hand, as a Herrscher, he does not seem to have the need to do so.

What really attracted him to this world was that it was not a big or small place, and there were almost no humans, making it a suitable place for a battle.

That's right, he wants to use this world bubble to replace the imaginary space that he intercepted as "my world".

It had been twice, twice he had dragged Herrscher into that world as his opponent, and every time he felt like he was being spied on, which made him vigilant.

Moreover, although it was a space that was cut off by him, it was an imaginary number space after all, and had an indescribable connection with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. If the objects were also Herrschers, Mikael would always be a little worried. The other Herrschers would be in imaginary number spaces. You may accidentally connect to the tree of imaginary numbers, thereby gaining more powerful power.

But these are not problems in this world.

only……

"What does it cost us."

The benefits are obvious, the world is preserved and life continues - of course, these seem unnecessary for a destroyed civilization.

What's the cost?

"I...I might throw some weird things into the world, or bring a few people in to fight..."

"That's not a problem." Mei knew this was the appetizer.

"I...if the situation is unavoidable, I may need your and Ellie's help."

"uh-huh?"

"Okay, in order to prevent you from dying for various reasons, causing the world bubble to be destroyed or starting to cycle, I will stop the movement of space in the entire world bubble...

"Furthermore, I can use the core of the Sixth Herrscher as the foundation for the operation of authority in this world. Although I cannot fully analyze it, in this world I can also have close to one thousandth of the power of the Sixth Herrscher. I will freeze the movement of your cells as well.

"but……"

Mikael was a little unable to say the next words.

"However, just space, cells, and even electromagnetic waves, heat, and collapse energy are not enough to constitute all 'movements'. In other words, time will not actually stop. The most obvious manifestation is that our consciousness will Just run awake as usual until your will collapses and becomes nothing, right?"

Mei suddenly said the words that Mikael hesitated to say.

"Yes...wait, no! I promise, it only takes five years. Give me five years, and I will have the power of consciousness. By then, all this will not be a problem."

"It seems you know a lot..." Mei took off her glasses and smiled: "I agree!"

"Of course I agree! After all, you have fulfilled the girl's wish!"

"you……"

Mikael raised his head because someone once told him that this way the tears would not flow out.

"What kind of fallacy will obviously overflow!"

"But you have to give me some time. You shouldn't be able to prohibit the operation of artificial intelligence. I need to assign some tasks first. I can't spend these five years in vain. No matter what, I have to serve your world. Let’s make some contribution to defeat Honkai!”

It’s hard to imagine that this is what Mei said, after all, it is not rational at all. Because in Mikael's view, only consciousness can function normally, so what is the difference between that and a vegetative state? Isn't this a kind of torture?

"Oh! Don't show that expression! Are you thinking that this is too cruel for us?" Ai Li smiled and held his hand, "Actually, for Mei, she should It’s a dream, right? For a scientist, your proposal means that she can have five full years to think, calculate, and verify her conjectures about the truth without being disturbed by any trivial matters.”

"What about you... Alicia?"

"As for me... I also want to chat with you occasionally, and if there is a chance, I really want to meet Alicia in your world!"

"Well... there will come a day."

Mikael was isolated on the top of a tall building. The night was gradually dissipating. On the eastern horizon, the first ray of sunlight had torn through the curtain of darkness and seeped out.

But the next moment, everything visible to the naked eye stopped moving.

Only a pair of footprints were left on the top of the building.

…………

"So... you only entered here two hours earlier than us, but you have already experienced that world for two days!"

Kevin clicked his tongue and said in wonder.

Mikael only selectively said some things about that world, and did not even reveal the news about Mei and Ellie.

He saw Kevin who was in the quantum sea and didn't care at all. He even stood on the wave-like ether cube and looked around like a curious baby. He was instantly furious.

He had no idea that Kevin and Hua would have the courage to follow them, and it was also his fault. He didn't expect that they would hit the entrance of the Quantum Sea, and he couldn't even leave a message for Hua.

But these two guys were lucky. After falling into the quantum sea, they were unharmed and did not get separated...

Of course, Kevin's luck was even worse. He was not torn apart when he was sucked into the space rift, and was thrown into the imaginary number barrier when he came out, thus avoiding the fate of being squashed by water pressure...

In this regard, Mikael could only say: "This man is completely unreasonable!"

All logic, rules, and laws seem to have completely failed once you encounter this guy... Forget it, you can't say that, at least gravity has not failed.

A lesson must be taught, and when he raised his hand, he was shocked.

"Ouch!"

"My Kevin giegie! Can you step on the pit casually? Do you know that if 100 million people are thrown into this place, 99,999,999 people will die?"

"Wait! Mikael, why did you only hit me? Where is Hua?"

"She's a girl, and she's younger than you."

Kevin glanced at Hua without any trace, then looked down at himself, helplessly accepting the reality.

"Okay! I was originally worried that my imaginary number barrier would not last long enough. Now that you are all here in the Quantum Sea, let's act together. But Kevin... this section must be kept secret when returning to the Fire Chaser Moth. !”

Mikael glanced through countless world bubbles at a glance. He and Qianjie fell into the quantum sea together, and the absolute distance between them was not much different.

"Found it! Brother Jie, I'm coming!"
