The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

At the Attica International Airport, the outer circle has been stretched with three layers of barbed wire. Dozens of heavy drone mechas stand behind the breastwork. As their bodies turn slightly, the automatic friend-or-foe identification system immediately locks onto the man walking in the distance.

"The target has been locked. It is confirmed that there is a Houkai reaction in his body. Requesting permission to open fire..."

"Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong again!"

The captain of the drone mecha brigade glanced at the boy who was always wearing a mask with dissatisfaction.

"The armed forces of our coalition government do not need the poisonous pupa to point fingers!"

"Hehe, then you can open fire if you want!"

Through the narrow eye hole of the mask, Imer looked at the familiar figure on the screen excitedly.

"But don't blame me for not reminding you afterwards. The man's name is Mikael."

"... *! Wuuwuwu..." The captain quickly covered his mouth. The word "open" had already jumped to the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed it hard. In his excitement, he even bit his tongue - although this was the second time today...

Mikael successfully crossed the outer defense line and walked into the empty airport hall.

"Captain!"

A sudden shout exploded in his ears. He turned his head slowly. After two years, Aldemir didn't seem to have changed. He still liked to wear a red T-shirt under his uniform and a pair of goggles on his head - but they were not the ones he wore in Luluye.

A girl followed closely behind him, looking at Mikael openly, with curiosity almost written on her face.

"Hehe! Captain, since you are back, the Herrscher should have been solved!"

Aldemir scratched his head with a silly smile.

Mikael exhaled lightly, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and cursed with a smile: "It's not that simple, just let her and the Honkai beast kill each other."

He was still confident that the fifth Herrscher could kill the Great Freedom Heaven. After all, her ability was very restraining to the Great Freedom Heaven. Under low temperature, the movement of all molecules became slow, and Mikael believed that with her IQ, she would definitely be able to figure out a way to kill the Great Freedom Heaven within two hours - freeze, smash, and get it done.

For this reason, Mikael also saved the body tissue of Mahadeva in advance.

What? If you can get the body tissue, why don't you just kill Mahadeva?

That's just a part of a plan, or a deal or agreement.

"Ah...ah...so that's it..."

Aldemir's expression was a little unnatural, not because of some random emotions, but simply a little embarrassed.

"Are you betting with others again?"

When Mikael saw the girl named Ewen Jielin glanced at Aldemir with pride, he had guessed the matter almost right.

"Ah...this, this...I'm not supporting the captain spiritually! She insisted on singing against me!"

"Blame me...Hey, by the way, why are you...no, why are there only two of you, where are the other people in the fifth team?"

"Aha, that...Sister Ai Li is here, I'll slip away first!"

Watching Aldemir and Ewen Jielin pulling and tugging away, Mikael couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Turning his head again, Ai Li was indeed behind him.

"Where's the captain?"

Mikael didn't see Himiko in the airport hall, so he asked this question first.

Although she understood the reason, Ellie couldn't help but get a little emotional.

She wrinkled her nose slightly and said unhappily: "She was taken to the medical department by the people of the coalition government."

Mikael touched his nose with his hand, not knowing how he had angered the other party again.

He could only look around again, and suddenly said "Huh":

"Ellie, where is Anadia?"

Mikael just asked casually to change the subject, but Ellie's eyes flickered.

"The Herrscher... is her."

"Ah-ah-so...it turns out that the Herrscher is Anna, why does she look so familiar..."

No wonder.

Mikael glanced at Kosmo, who was curled up in the corner with his knees hugged.

Xi'er sat beside him, with her hands raised in the air, as if she wanted to say something to comfort her.

But no matter what she said, Kosmo responded with dead silence from beginning to end.

"Yeah... After all, the color of the hair and eyes have changed, so it's normal that you can't recognize them for a while."

Ailishia said softly, her tone became a little too gentle, so gentle that it didn't seem like what Alishia would say... It was as if she was comforting him.

"Elly, I'm not that fragile."

Elly pursed her lips, "Speaking of which, it's really thrilling that Kosmo and Seer survived the hands of the Herrscher... Mikael, could it be..."

"No, don't think too much. Elly, they can survive not because the Herrscher showed leniency... They can survive only because Captain Himiko and Imer arrived in time. Besides, ordinary humans are ants in the eyes of the Herrscher, and there is no need to pay special attention to them, that's all."

"Ah... Is that so, is that so..."

The gentle tone quickly became low, like a flower that exuded a faint fragrance in the previous second, and quickly withered and withered in the next second.

Mikael knew the reason, but he could only open and close his lips in vain.

For the time being, he couldn't figure out how to explain the reason to Alicia - why was he the only one who could retain his original consciousness?

Yes, this question that has been in Alicia's mind for a long time has changed slightly. Initially, the question was "Why can't other Herrschers retain human consciousness like Mikael?" 】

But after the Fifth Herrscher showed more complex human emotions, this problem escalated.

Why? The Fifth Herrscher is obviously full of emotions...why does she still choose to stand on the opposite side of mankind?

Rather than saying that he doesn’t know how to explain it, it’s better to say that Mikael just knows the conclusion.

We only know what it is, but we don’t know why it is so.

Even he himself has some subtle expectations, expecting that under the influence of his butterfly effect, a Herrscher like him will appear.

That not only means an increase in one's own combat effectiveness, but also means a certain bright possibility - that means that even if the civilization of this era fails, it does not necessarily have to sacrifice Ellie to exchange for the illusory love for future generations. hope.

"Is Mebius awake?"

The only thing Mikael could do was to change the subject abruptly.

"Ah, of course I'm awake, but I'm still a little confused... Do you want to go see her? Can I accompany you?"

Facing Ally's teasing gaze, Michael rarely remained calm. He gently rubbed Ally's fluffy hair and declined silently - for some reason, he always paid special attention to avoid seeing Ally. , he and Mebius were present at the same time.

Maybe it's because their relationship is not good?

Ellie was still staring at his hurriedly escaping back playfully, biting her finger thoughtfully.

After a while, she couldn't help but sigh, and looked away from Mikael.

"Mikael... you seem to have a lot of secrets that you haven't told me..."

…………

“How does it feel to have your first man-made collapse?”

Seeing Mikael walking towards her, Mebius unconsciously tightened the white coat wrapped around him, making the former very embarrassed.

"Man-made collapse...are you talking about that state?"

Mebius muttered something in a low voice, then looked up at him in confusion, not understanding how he knew it - could it be that he also entered that state when he was in Changkong City?

"What happened?"

As a person involved, Mebius's consciousness was extremely vague at that stage, even worse than when he was first resurrected in Canghai City.

At least she had a vague self-awareness that time, but just now, from the last glimpse of the inhuman reflection on Shirter's fracture to when she woke up in the airport hall, she had no memory of what happened in between.

It's like as soon as you open or close your eyes, everything is over.

By the way, even the clothes disappeared.

When he thought of this, Mebius looked at Mikael with an evil expression, although the latter did not notice it.

He sat next to Mebius, rubbed his chin and said, "This is the drawback of the fusion warrior plan - man-made collapse."

"Disadvantages..."

Mebius bit his lip lightly, chewing carefully on this word that should not have any ambiguity.

It was a little cold on the iron chair, so Mikael casually constructed a thick quilt and used his traditional skills to wrap the snake into a cat and insect in a few strokes.

"Mikael, I'm not a little... Humph!"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized how immature her voice was, so she could only swallow the dissatisfied words.

"To be honest, Mebius, I am different from you after all. I don't like this plan because it has blurred the boundaries between humans and beasts, humans and Honkai. The reason why fusion warriors can maintain 'human' Form, in the final analysis, is the rational side of human consciousness that creates a bottom line...

"But the bottom line exists because it can be easily crossed. Mebius, you have crossed the line."

"Then what are you going to do, put an end to this plan from now on? Oh, yes, yes, as long as our great Lord Mikael is here, any problem can be solved and any enemy can be defeated. What more fusion warriors are needed!"

Mikael ignored her crazy words.

Man-made collapse is both an absolute taboo and an instinctive temptation for fusion warriors.

Once one becomes aware of this possibility, it becomes even more difficult to maintain a "human" form.

But before actually seeing Mebius almost fall into the abyss of man-made collapse, he had been selectively ignoring this danger - because in his impression, except for a few rare times, Fusion warriors have not experienced many collapses, and there are only three people who have achieved complete collapses.

So how did they do it?

Mikael filled in another name in his heart, which meant that he had to let someone lie on the operating table again and accept her original fate.

It's just that she should have expected this.

Mikael glanced at the wall clock in the hall. It was six thirty-seven. It would take nearly an hour for the Second God Key to be recharged, and Qianjie could also bring reinforcements by then.

But it doesn’t matter. The reason why Herrscher was spared her life was, on the one hand, so that she and Da Zi Zaitian could kill each other for the Honkai Impact in a confined space. On the other hand, it was also because Mikael really had no intention of fighting again at that time. Got strength.

[However, according to the agreement with that woman, the life of the Fifth Herrscher must still be left to him. 】

"Hi! Captain, doctor, long time no see."

The sudden appearance of Ymer interrupted Mikael's contemplation.

In front of Mikael, he no longer wore the ugly mask of Poison Chrysalis.

Then, that familiar smile appeared in Mikael's eyes, "Speaking of which, were you talking about fusion warriors earlier?"

A cold light flashed in Mebius's eyes. If Mikael hadn't held her down in time, perhaps the green lightning would have swallowed Ymer.

"I, I, I, I will go...doctor, don't get excited!"

Yimer stroked his chest, he was really startled - even though it has been two years since this person left Fire Chasing Moth, his illustrious reputation seems to have not been forgotten.

"Brother Mikael, are you interested in picking him up with me?"

He blinked at Mikael, saying nothing.
