The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"La-la-la-la-la-"

The three of them were playing and making trouble, staying in the city for too long. After Xi'er could no longer walk, Mikael activated his power and returned to the Golden Courtyard. It was already a completely silent night.

After sending Xi'er back to the room, Mikael hummed an unknown tune and walked around the corridor twice with Ai Li.

No one spoke hastily. In their relationship, language is no longer a necessary means of communication. Many times, you can guess the other person's thoughts just by looking at the other person's expression, movements, or even the temperature of the palms and the beating of the pulse. .

"Mikael... he wants me to help? Judging from his heartbeat, does he want me to introduce other girls to him? Let me think about it, among the girls I know, he is not familiar with... Oh! It can’t be her, right? But why is Michael looking for her?”

Ai Li understood in her heart, but she didn't ask out loud.

First of all, it is better for Mikael to ask some questions himself, so as to reflect a "sense of distance" and "privacy", which is very necessary in the close relationship between two people!

Secondly...it was rare to have such a quiet and ordinary night, and she didn't want to break the silence for a while.

This extremely ordinary night, let it pass by with the noise of cicadas and the croaking of frogs.

Mikael obviously read this sentiment, so what was supposed to be a romantic walk under the moon ended quickly and hastily in a way that outsiders could not understand - Mikael sent Ellie back without saying a word. He walked into her room, and then stood alone in front of the door under the moonlight for a long time.

Then his footsteps drew a quarter arc in the corridor and arrived at the door of his room.

Without any hesitation, he opened the door.

A faint fragrance flowed out along the small crack in the door. Mikael was stunned for a moment, and then inevitably showed a strange expression.

Opening the door completely, the moonlight came in, illuminating the black and white nun's skirt on the sofa.

"Apponia...why are you here?"

Is it a coincidence?

Mikael was preparing to find a suitable time to contact her, but she had already appeared here in advance.

No, it must not be a coincidence. From an ordinary person's perspective, there is no reason for her to do this. Therefore, there is only one possibility - she saw the possible intersection in the future in the complicated threads of fate.

That's why she appeared here.

"Oh? You should already know the reason why I am here, right?"

As expected, Aponya asked rhetorically.

It was a rhetorical question, but in fact her tone was too plain. If it weren't for the fact that the entire sentence was in the form of a question, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was stating a fact... No, wasn't she just stating a fact?

When he thought about his purpose of looking for Aponya, Mikael felt guilty. He didn't know how to respond or what kind of response he should make. He could only laugh twice and adjust the lights in the room to the brightest. and close the door.

He hurriedly poured a glass of water and prepared to give it to Apponia, but after pouring it, he drank it all in one gulp.

"..."

"hehe--"

Apponia looked at his embarrassed look and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Just like Alicia said, you are really a cute boy."

Mikael pinched his thigh hard. He didn't understand why he was still like a child in front of her after experiencing so many life-and-death battles. Could this be the anger of Aponya's mother? Field?

Or could it be said that Aponya's identity and behavior successfully awakened the body's subconscious affection for the nun in the orphanage?

"Haha, you are still a little embarrassed. But it doesn't matter, relax, [please] let me tidy up your collar."

She stood up slowly, walked over to the slightly dazed Mikael, and lifted up the collar of his shirt.

It was obviously just a simple action, but with that soft tone, Mikael's heart calmed down inexplicably.

As quiet as the night outside the window.

"Okay, [please] sit down, after all, this is your home."

Mikael sat down as he was told.

At this point, he finally regained some sanity. He pursed his lips and made up his mind to speak before Aponya to get the topic on track.

But the other party predicted his prediction, and just as the muscles of his throat reacted, Aponya once again got ahead of him and asked:

"Mr. Mikael, [please] ask, do you... also have the ability to see the future?"

An inexplicable impulse came, and he almost blurted out a negative answer, but was stopped abruptly.

Mikael glanced at Apponia suspiciously, could it be...

"Yes, Mr. Mikael, I have already anticipated what you want to tell me, so I have already been to Dr. Mebius's operating table while you were away."

"Is that really the case..."

Mikael silently examined his situation and felt that it was no different from the past. It seemed that Aponya...

No, if she really gained the ability to command as before, then even he might not be able to detect when she gave the command.

Although he knew it was a friendly force, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Mikael's back uncontrollably.

"So, I'm sorry that I have no choice but to use my power on you. But Mr. Mikael, I still have to know that question - you also know what will happen in the future, right?"

A wonderful feeling came to my heart again, and Mikael had already answered before he had time to react.

Perhaps the question was asked in a different way, but the answer Mikael gave this time was:

"Yes I know."

Mikael touched his lips in astonishment, as if it didn't belong to him at that moment.

"Aponia, you-"

It is impossible not to be angry at all.

But suddenly, another thought spread in Mikael's mind - why did she ask that?

As someone who can see through the threads of fate, she should be able to read the answer she wants directly from the future. Why would she ask... to test him?

This thought arose, and Mikael became alert again, because he could not tell whether these thoughts were guided by spiritual power.

Aponya once again saw through his thoughts. She smiled and shook her head, indicating that she had done nothing.

"Mr. Mikael, please don't be angry. I did use this ability on you out of helplessness - please forgive me for having to constantly test you in this way to get a glimpse of the real you. Make a decision in your heart. Of course, I also know your doubts, so I will say it straight: Mr. Mikael, you are a very special person."

Aponya's words spanned too much forward and backward, and Mikael gradually felt that he could not keep up with her thoughts, and could only passively wait for her to speak again.

"Mr. Mikael, it seems that you can indeed see some kind of future, otherwise you wouldn't have no reaction to the word 'also' in my previous question, right? But the way you see the future seems to be different from mine. Different, otherwise, you should have expected the conversation tonight, right? "

"yes."

"Then, I roughly understand... Can you describe to me the future you see?"

"Wait a minute!" Mikael suddenly shouted, "Aponia, I have been answering the questions all this time, so in exchange for equal value, can you let me ask two questions?"

"Ah - of course that's possible. Please feel free to ask."

"...Apponia, why did you find Mebius Super Transformation on your own before I asked?"

Mebius must have resisted, and Mikael believed she was sensible, but she still did it, which meant that Aponya must have given a reason that was enough to convince her.

Mikael wanted to know what that reason was.

"Actually, it's very simple - when my eyes continued to follow the thread of fate, I found that my own thread would be with Ellie, Eden, Mebius, and Su in the near future. , intertwined with thousands of tribulations, and I will become a [non-human thing] just like them. I even know what I have to do: [Commandments], isn’t it? In that case, this is it? The shackles given to me by fate.

"So the reason why I chose to take this step by myself is very simple - I just want to do my best to resist fate a little bit, that's all."

Mikael let out a shuddering breath, it was indeed a good answer, but Mikael didn't believe it was the one Mebius got.

As if seeing through Mikael's heart again, Aponya suddenly said: "Ah, you want to ask what Mebius and I said, right?"

"It's actually very simple. She asked me to tell her the fate of the person named [Mebius]."

"Then how did you answer?"

The alarm bells were ringing in Mikael's heart, but for some reason, amid the boundless fear, there was also some expectation.

He knows the weight of the prophecy given by Aponnia, and he is afraid that Mebius will get an ending similar to the original world line. This is what he fears.

But what if that ends well? That's what he expected.

"You must be very excited now, right? Mr. Mikael."

"..."

"I did answer her, but it might not be the same as you think - I only answered her with one word, an answer that I actually got:

"Not impressive."
