The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"It's far away... it's far away..."

Even without looking back, Mikael could feel that the light and warmth of civilization were gradually leaving him.

Finally, he stopped on a hill overlooking the brilliant lights of Vostok.

The Honkai energy floating in the air merged into his body one by one, condensed on his chest, and gradually solidified, but strangely emitted a blue light.

Behind him, the excess Honkai energy dispersed into the earth and merged into various living creatures, creating countless Honkai beasts.

He turned around, his eyes no longer filled with any emotion.

He looked at the sparse lights behind him, then at the bright neon lights in front of him, waved his hand, and in the dark night, countless Honkai beasts ran wildly, making a dull sound like thunder.

"Beep beep! beep beep!"

"Hey! This is the first team, I'm the captain Hen."

"Hen! Where are you now?"

"Reporting to headquarters, we have left Vostok-51 and are at the abandoned base on the outskirts of Vostok city."

A noisy voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie. After a while, a female voice that made people get goosebumps just listening to it came: "Heng, the Honkai energy reaction near you is rising sharply, and the magnitude has exceeded 1000HW. , and it’s still rising...The anomalies we captured before are not groundless.”

"This... this..." Even though he thought he was experienced in many battles, Hen almost stopped holding the walkie-talkie in his hand when he heard the news.

As a special mission team directly under the coalition government, their mission has always been to fight against Honkai - a disaster that follows the development of civilization and disguise the damage caused by it as an accident.

But so far... no, before this time, the strongest Honkai energy reaction he had encountered was just over 100HW, and the disaster caused by that Honkai Impact was enough to mobilize two teams like them. , plus a mecha squad, a flying squadron calmed down.

So what will be born from the 1000HW Honkai energy reaction?

"Captain Hen, Captain Hen!" The original male voice came from the walkie-talkie again.

"It has been detected that a large number of Honkai beasts are approaching Vostok. In addition, Honkai energy is accumulating on the mountains in the northwest. The reaction intensity... has reached one thousand fourteen or one thousand five... and is approaching 2000 HW!"

Hen took a deep breath, counted the few ammunition, and began to put on the exoskeleton armor.

Because they were using a public frequency, all members of the team understood the current situation and began to prepare for the battle spontaneously.

"Headquarters, what is our mission?"

"As the outermost line of defense of Vostok, stop the advance of Honkaimon. The urban area of ​​Vostok has been put under martial law in the name of military exercises. You only need to hold on for ten minutes. After ten minutes, troops from the Shenzhou region and the Far East region will The flying squadron will arrive on the battlefield, and the mecha troops will arrive within half an hour."

"Huh..." Hen breathed out softly and immediately cut off contact with the headquarters.

"Did you hear that! Move quickly! Before the Honkaiju comes, search the base for ammunition supplies!"

At this time, Mikael... no, he is now the First Herrscher, and his thin figure is still standing on the top of the mountain.

Tens of seconds later, there was a loud sound of gunfire at the edge of the distant lights, and the bullets drew straight trajectories in the darkness. Countless Honkaimon fell, and countless Honkaimon followed.

But until there was no more Honkai Beast around, the First Herrscher still made no move.

He seemed to be waiting for something.

As an apostle of gods descending to the human world, he should not and cannot have human emotions.

So he doesn't understand this kind of waiting, nor does he understand this kind of waiting.

It was like he didn't understand why this body still didn't put down the cake in his hand until it was completely occupied by him and until the soul of this body was directly wiped out by a higher being.

"Sasha", light footsteps sounded behind him.

"M...Mikael?" The First Herrscher didn't know the meaning of Mikael's name.

But he felt a familiar aura from the stranger.

He turned around, and it turned out that the person who had been quietly following him was a beautiful girl with pink hair.

"What's going on?"

The girl's voice was blown away by the wind.

She seemed a little excited and a little wary.

"Why has your hair grown so much? Oops, your eyes are red too."

"Why, are you too sad to hear that I'm leaving?"

"If it doesn't work, can we leave together?"

The First Herrscher remained silent.

He is not mute, he is just the girl opposite, the girl opposite who is an apostle of the gods like himself...

Why...she seems...to have human-like emotions?

The girl slowly approached him while chattering something that the First Herrscher couldn't understand.

The First Herrscher, who thought he had met his kind, did not feel threatened.

"Hey! Is this cake... prepared for me?"

The girl happily took the cake box he was holding.

"You really understand girls' thoughts! Of course, a beautiful girl must be paired with a sweet cake...!"

The moment the word "ke" fell, a dagger slipped out of the girl's sleeve and stabbed directly into the heart of the First Herrscher.

"Dang", the dagger suddenly encountered an obstacle, bent to nearly ninety degrees, and then broke with a "bang".

Between the broken dagger and the First Herrscher's chest, a steel plate appeared at some point.

This is the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

Although he is the messenger of destruction that destroys civilization, he has to fight with the power of civilization.

Although Alicia failed to hit him, she did not retreat, but instead unexpectedly hit the First Herrscher in the face with a left hook.

"You! Give Mikael back to me!"

"Give Mikael back to me!"

"Mikael!"

"Give it back!"

"Me!"

Alicia's cry entered the First Herrscher's mind, just like a stone thrown into a calm lake, rippling circles of waves in an instant.

"Alisa!"

Mikael suddenly opened his eyes.

What he saw was a chaos, without light or darkness.

"Alisa!"

The once broken memory began to shine, and the familiar voice sounded in his ears:

"Visitor, your path will continue..."

"Go create what we have not been able to welcome..."

"The future!"

So there was light, and then there was darkness, and then time began to flow, and then Mikael saw his own world of consciousness.

His original position had been replaced by an indescribable mist.

And at the foot of the mist was the body of a child who looked exactly like him... no, exactly like the child named Mikael.

He understood instantly.

His occupation did not cause the consciousness of the child named Mikael to dissipate, but fell into a deep sleep.

While the collapse shaped the Herrscher, it erased the consciousness of the child Mikael, but did not expect that there was a third consciousness in this body.

"In that case..."

Mikael walked towards the mist step by step.

"Is this the consciousness of the Herrscher?"

"Since... since I can appear in front of her... then how can I be willing to be a witness!"

Outside of consciousness, the figures of Alisia and the First Herrscher were entangled together.

The First Herrscher can freely manipulate Honkai energy, and so can Alicia.

So even though it looks like a fight between children, every encounter between fists and feet is enough to instantly paralyze an adult.

The First Herrscher should not have fought in this way.

His power should be analysis-construction.

But he is a newborn consciousness after all, and he does not know how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and he was soon dragged into a fistfight.

"Uh... huh?"

The First Herrscher's movements suddenly stopped, and the next moment, before Alicia's fist arrived, he suddenly slapped himself.

Then, the First Herrscher's left hand and right hand started fighting, followed by his left foot and right foot.

Until the whistling of fighter planes came from the sky, countless bombs fell on the Honkai beasts, and while setting off a bloody storm, it also rendered the night as bright as day.

The First Herrscher lay dead, motionless.

No matter how strong he was, he was just a newborn consciousness, how could he defeat "Mikael"?

"M...Mikael? Is that you? Are you back?"

This was the first sentence he heard when his consciousness returned to his body.

It was also the heavenly sound that supported him in the endless years that followed.

The fighter plane dropped a bomb towards the top of the mountain, and the tail of the bomb rubbed against the air, making a harsh whistling sound.

"Ailishia, I'm back."

In the exploding fireworks, Mikael announced his return to Ai Li.

But the exploding fireworks did not reach the eyes of the two children.

In the chest, the blue Herrscher core finally formed, the gear-like pupils rotated, and the spherical barrier gradually condensed into a solid body, isolating all the fragments and flames.

This was the first time that Mikael felt that he existed so truly in this world.

Because he was no longer a witness.

But...the person who truly waded into the river of fate.
