The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

This is a special room.

From the four walls to the ceiling to the floor, "Liuhe" was completely dark, and even the gaps between the walls could not be seen clearly.

No, is there really a gap?

Out of boredom, Mei began to think about the geometric structure of this room - maybe this room was ten or a hundred times larger than imagined, so that the gaps between the walls could not be seen; or maybe this room was simply a hemisphere.

But regardless of the geometry, one thing is undeniable - darkness.

But then again, the plum that appears here is not an entity, it's just a projection.

Mei looked at her white hands, and when she raised her head again, a long metal sign as high as a person's height had lit up in front of her eyes. The long sign was all gray and white. No matter how Mei looked at it, it looked like a tombstone. The only difference might be that there was no sign on it. Hanging the portrait, the series of bright red characters do not write the dates of birth and death.

【SEELE】

【.01】

Then one after another such "tombstones" appeared clockwise with Mei as the center, and the labels also extended from [.01] to [.13], eventually forming a closed loop.

"Ouch! Isn't this Dr. Mei!"

【.12】As soon as he opened his mouth, the very recognizable soft voice revealed his identity - Lezren.

But Mei was not surprised. Such meetings had been held no less than ten times in the past year and a half. From [.01] to [.13], Mei knew the identity of everyone very well. There were only eleven The top secretariat officials of the coalition government, including Lezren and Vasak, decided to act in such a mysterious manner.

"Ahem!"

【.01】cleared his throat and said:

"Now that everyone is here, I announce that the twelfth evaluation meeting of SEELE, the management and control agency of the Fusion Warrior Project, has officially begun. As the initiator of this meeting... Dr. Mei, please state your proposal."

Silence began to spread for three seconds. These three seconds were just enough for Mei to cross her hands in front of her lips and under her nose, so her voice became dull: "You must have known what I was going to say, that's right. , you have heard my proposal eleven times - I hope that SEELE will approve me to perform the super-mutated fusion surgery of the Parfanti factor on Kevin, the leader of the Fire Chasing Moth team."

"Then you should understand very well! There is no way we can agree to your proposal!"

“It’s okay not to do surgery with a success rate of less than 8%!”

"Humanity is far from reaching such a state of exhaustion!"

"Dr. Mei, every time you make a proposal, you only target Kevin. We have reason to believe that you are doing it for personal gain!"

Mei was already familiar with accusations like these, to the point of reciting them by heart.

At first she would be angry, but later she became numb and refused to refute at all, letting these old men chatter about some contradictory and mentally retarded words.

But this time, she was not going to give in - it had been a year and a half, and it had already been delayed for a year and a half!

There was a gap of more than half a year between the second collapse and the third collapse. The interval between the third collapse and the fourth collapse was half a year. Now it has been a year and a half since the fourth collapse. Every time it is delayed, Every day, the possibility of a Honkai outbreak increases exponentially.

Facing the fifth collapse, is it possible for mankind to win?

Mei didn't think so.

The memory of the fourth collapse seemed like yesterday. Only by constantly thinking about it did I feel more and more powerless.

Although it was only an emergency deployment at the time, Mei thought about many different optimization plans later, but without exception, there was no plan that would allow humans to kill the Herrscher solely with their own strength and technology. …

No, this is not rigorous. If humans are willing to use it on a large scale...

The thought of that scene made Mei feel horrified, so she was unwilling, unable, and did not dare to give in anymore.

"Humanity has not reached the end of its rope yet?" Mei tilted her head, "Have you ever seen the Herrscher? Have you personally fought against the Herrscher on the front line? Have you ever gone to Irkune or Canghai City with your own eyes? , Changkong City, and Tianqiong City, have you seen the traces of Herrscher's destruction? Just by sitting in the office and thinking about it, you can come to the conclusion that "humanity has not reached the end of the world." With all due respect, yes, that's right, humankind. It is true that we are not at the end of our rope, but that is not because of human beings’ own abilities, but because there is a Herrscher who is supposed to destroy human beings standing in front of human beings!”

"You...you...don't we have no way to defeat Honkai without the First Herrscher? Where are our aerial battleships? Where are our mecha troops? Vassago, Lezrun!"

[.06], who had been robbed of a free pass by Mei, became angry and called for reinforcements.

[0.13] remained indifferent. After a while, Vasak's hoarse voice came out: "I'm sorry, everyone, I just went to the toilet. What happened?"

As for Lezlen, he just coughed twice to show that he was listening, and then stopped responding.

"Ahem! Dr. Mei, maybe you understand a little bit wrong."

【.08】 Silently provided cover for his teammates, "We are not prejudiced against the Fusion Warrior plan itself. If this plan was not recognized from the beginning, SEELE would not have been born. The problem now is, Dr. Mei , according to the model you submitted, the success rate of Captain Kevin's surgery is less than 8%, which means it is almost impossible to succeed if rounded up.

"So what Minister Tarot means is that we humans are not at the end of our rope yet. We can continue to upgrade our technology until the success rate of surgery reaches 50%, 80% or even 100%. Then we After all, the person you submitted for surgery, Captain Kevin, is also an excellent soldier. He was promoted from an ordinary soldier to the leader of the first team in just two years. We should not let such a talent die on the operating table. .

"And, if I remember correctly, Captain Kevin is also your boyfriend, right? You don't want him to die on the operating table, right, Dr. Mei?"

Mei pushed up her glasses, her tone was calm, like a ruthless repeater:

"First of all, I don't bother you with my personal issues with Kevin. Kevin fully agrees with my decision, and he himself is willing to go to the operating table..."

"But we all know Kevin never turns down a request of yours, Dr. May!"

The words were suddenly interrupted, and Mei was stunned for two seconds, but did not respond. He just continued what he had interrupted before and said: "The success rate of eight percent is already very high. After all, so far, the Zhuhuo Fire Moth conducted a total of 683,207 live experiments, of which only 302 survived. Moreover, these 302 people were fused with the genes of lower Honkaimon. In actual combat, The ability is not much better than that of a fully armored warrior, and it can even be said that it is inferior to that of a warrior - after all, after these people are released from their shackles, they want to kill their own kind more than Honkai."

"But in the end, these data are all your words! We can't judge whether the model and probability you submitted are true..."

"Okay, Minister Tarot! Just say less if it doesn't make sense!"

【.01】 finally spoke, and he stopped the dispute with just one sentence, but Mei, who had long been accustomed to this, did not feel any joy in her heart.

"Okay Dr. Mei, if you have no other questions, please leave first. SEELE still needs to discuss your proposal further, and we will give you an answer by then."

Mei had long expected such a result, but it was only then that this adult girl inadvertently revealed her disappointment that could not be concealed.

But she did not leave the meeting directly. Instead, she raised her head stubbornly and faced the pale tombstone. "Secretary-General Kiir, I have one last question."

"Please say."

"If the fifth collapse comes tomorrow, how can we humans resist it?"

Her response was still Minister Tarot of the Ministry of Armed Forces: "We have aerial battleships, we have mecha troops, we..."

"The Fourth Honken has already proven that these are useless."

"At worst, we still have silver bullets!"

"Excuse me, how many bullets do you expect to kill one Herrscher? Ten? Or a hundred? We don't yet know how powerful the fifth Herrscher is, let alone evaluate the lethality of the silver bullets to the Herrscher's body. Take ten thousand steps back Say, if it is really useful, how can the damage caused be restored? The silver bullet has always been the way to die together! But what should we do with Honkai to lose only a dispensable puppet body? Our losses are real..."

"Snapped!"

Before Mei could finish her words, she was forcibly kicked out of the group chat.

"It's boring."

Vasak snorted and logged off.

"Hmph, Lezren, are all of you Fire Chasing Moths so domineering now! Do some people think that without you, humanity can't fight against Honkai!"

"No way! In fact, many of what Dr. Mei said are correct. For example--if Honkai breaks out tomorrow, then with the current armed forces of mankind, without considering the intervention of the First Herrscher, our Conventional combat forces have no way to fight against the Herrscher."

"So you support May too?"

"No, no, no! Minister Tarot, we are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to be pretentious in front of me, right? The reason why you are really opposed to Dr. Mei's super-transformation surgery on Kevin is that you are opposed to Dr. Mei's super-transformation surgery on Kevin. I think there is only one reason for the surgery - you don't trust Kevin, a man who is not one of his own becomes the first fusion warrior.

"you!"

"Be bold!"

"Arrogant!"

"Secretary-General, we must teach the fire-chasing moth how to behave!"

"Let's just dissolve it! Our coalition government itself is not unarmed!"

Lezren smiled softly, and the smile was full of ridicule - not for these people, no, not only for these people.

"Ah - let me think about it, you don't even trust your own people, right? Just think about it, those experimental subjects are just fused with low-level Honkaimon and can rival warriors who have been trained for many years, then if the fusion continues What kind of power does the Imperial Level Honkai Beast have? If this power is in Mei’s hands, no, if this power is in the hands of others, no one here can sleep well, hahaha!”

"Lezren, you..."

"But you are afraid of death and dare not accept the current super-changing surgery, so you are putting it off again and again, hoping that the success rate of the surgery can reach 100% - not even 99.9%! By then , you will become the first batch of fusion warriors... Hahahaha!"

"Lezren! What about you? You have the same idea. Otherwise, you could have approved Mei's plan from the beginning. Your Lichtenstein family can fully afford the investment, right? Why bother to come to us to form SEELE..."

"No, you won't understand me. Goodbye!"

Lezren unplugged the network cable.

"Hmph! Fire Moth! What kind of talents are they!"

"Kil, what are you still hesitating about? It's time to suppress this group of people!"

"What's the situation with Lezren and Vashak? We were counting on them to help us control the Fire Moth.

"They don't really think that without them, humans will..."

"Ahem!"

[.01] coughed twice and replied lightly:

"Let's talk about it later. The fifth collapse is about to come."

After that, the long card projection of [.01] disappeared.

…………

"Heh, that's all. "

Vassago slumped in his chair, inexplicably bored, bored with everything.

Honkai, humans... hehe...

Suddenly, an encrypted message appeared on the screen in front of him. He clicked it and scanned it, then fell into deep thought.

"If I remember correctly, as the commander of the Fire Moth, I can skip all procedures and directly mobilize troops of less than five people, right?"

He muttered to himself and suddenly rang the electronic bell on the table.

"Leader."

"Let Captain Himiko come to me."
