The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Hey! Hey! As a member of Fire Chasing Moth, you don't have many other benefits, but the ticket quota for this Eden concert is pretty good!"

Kosmo was dragged by Destobia and kept squeezing into the crowd.

"Destobia..."

[Should you remind her to keep her voice down? Although many people are aware of Honkai Impact, there has been no official statement on the matter. Moreover, precisely because many people know it, if they have any misunderstandings about the Fire Chasing Moth, wouldn’t it be...]

"What's wrong? Kosmo, was it you who called me just now?"

"Ah...no..."

[Forget it, she joined the Fire Moth earlier than me, so she should have a sense of proportion...]

"Um...really?"

Destobia scratched her head, and just now she did hear a call similar to that of Kosmo coming from behind her... Well, isn't Kosmo shy again?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but reveal a narrow smile.

"Kosmo..."

"Well, what's wrong?"

"What did you just do?"

"I didn't ask you...I...I didn't do anything..."

"Hehehehe, you are still making excuses!"

Kosmo lowered his head in embarrassment and began to sift through excuses in his mind.

[I called the wrong person... This is definitely not feasible; I shouted just for fun... Won't I get beaten? I... I just wanted to shout your name... It's so disgusting... Forget it, just stop defending. 】

Destobia smiled softly and stopped asking. The two of them spent a lot of effort to squeeze out of the crowd, followed the numbers on the ticket stubs, and found their seats in the splendid circular opera hall.

"Huh?"

"Eh?"

Two girls with the same blond hair, you point at me and I point at you.

Kosma and Aldemir also looked at each other.

"What a coincidence! You guys also came to watch Eden's concert!"

"Yes, we happened to be sitting together!"

Aldemir shrugged, Kosmo shook his head, and the two boys sat down first.

"Speaking of which, Destobia, weren't you called back to the headquarters two days ago and had a fusion warrior surgery? Did you...succeed? It seems like there are no side effects at all!"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand here."

Destobia lifted her high ponytail on the back of her head, put one hand on her hips, and looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle.

But Yiwen Jielin broke her defense with just one sentence:

"So, you specifically asked for leave to come back to find Kosmo?"

"Uh... no... uh... I just have some luggage to come back for!"

Kosmo lowered his head silently.

"oh--"

Yiwen Jielin dragged out her voice for a long time, her eyes wandering between the boys and girls who were slightly younger than her:

"It seems that the anti-entropy leave is easy to ask for. They say that Captain Mikael doesn't take care of things, so I can rest assured."

"That's not true. After all, with Captain Mikael's space power, if something really happened, he would be able to quickly gather our team members in time... Wait, Yiwen Jielin... What are you worried about?"

"Ah? Don't you know? Those who can take leave from the European branch today are volunteers who have applied for Vishnu factor surgery. They will leave for the headquarters tomorrow to conduct experiments."

"Kosmo, you..."

Destobia suddenly turned her head to look at Kosmo. Of course she knew that the experimenter this time was completely different from her then. The boy stubbornly turned his head away as if he had not heard the conversation.

Even Aldemir turned his head to look at Kosmo in disbelief. He rubbed the scratched goggles in his hands, pursed his lips, and asked, "Why do you do this? You are still so young."

Kosmo didn't answer for a long time.

Just when they thought the introverted boy would respond with silence as usual, Kosmo spoke:

"What about you? Why did you sign up?"

Aldemir was speechless for a moment. He was stunned for a long time and saw that the concert hall, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was almost full. There were more and more ordinary spectators around them, who were looking curiously at the aisles. He could only helplessly shake his head with the two girls he was sleeping with:

"...Ahem! The concert is about to begin. Evanjielin and Destobia, please stop standing and come sit down!"

Destobia sat with a sullen expression between Evangelion and Kosma. All kinds of thoughts were constantly intertwined in her heart, so much so that she didn't even notice when Eden came on stage and everyone stood up and applauded.

Until Eden spoke softly, the natural voice had not been processed by the microphone, like the ripples caused by water droplets dripping into the water, swaying towards the circular hall with a radius of 150 meters, reaching the edge, and again in the bronze urn The sound of harmony bounces inward, forming a continuous stream of memories.

When Destobia heard this voice, she raised her eyelids slightly, but only for a moment.

She seemed to have no strength to even do something as simple as raising her head.

Gradually, she couldn't even tell where her eyes were focused.

Finally, she saw Kosma's profile.

He looked at Eden singing on the stage and the players holding musical instruments with such admiration, but...

She finally couldn't help but asked again in a low voice:

"Kosma, I understand your eagerness to become a fusion warrior...but why this time, why Vishnu?"

As she spoke the last syllable, her vision blurred, so she couldn't see it. The boy's eyelashes also trembled slightly with her words.

"..."

[Actually, you don’t know me at all. You haven’t witnessed the moment when Sister Anna turned into a Herrscher. You haven’t seen the moment when she died in front of me. There was only a thin barrier between her and me. How could you possibly you got me. Although such an answer... forget it, is it too much and will hurt Destobia? 】

Why?

The young man himself was questioning himself in his mind.

As I thought just now, since Anna's death cannot be attributed to the Fire Chaser, Kevin, or Mikael, I can only attribute it to fate and the collapse. So he wants to become a warrior, so he wants to have superhuman strength to avenge Honkai. is that so?

It seems not.

Now when I think of Anna again, I don't seem to feel that heartbreaking pain anymore.

After all, if you think about it carefully, they haven't known each other very long, and...

After all, before she became a Herrscher, he had already chosen to alienate her when she betrayed her twice in a row.

So he is not qualified to avenge her.

Why?

Is it because...that you have always wanted to be a hero?

Maybe so.

Fusion of the strongest Honkaiju factor, killing gods with the power of gods, just like Kevin did, just like Mikael did.

[Moreover, I am different from them. They can kill Anna in order to defeat Honkai. And I, I will adhere to the inalienable principle of good and evil, I...]

"ah!!!"

A scream suddenly sounded, even temporarily suppressing Eden's singing on the stage.

Eden's singing stopped, and she suddenly stood up on tiptoes and looked towards the back of the hall. Her action instantly moved the audience. Kosmo also jumped up, but he was not tall enough, even if he was standing on his seat. , couldn't see clearly what was happening, and could only hear screams coming from the crowd in the distance.

"Kosma!"

Aldemir called to him.

He turned his head and saw Aldemir patting his shoulder. He immediately jumped up from his seat, climbed onto his shoulder, and stood up boldly.

"Then...what is that!"

He froze.

"Kosmo, what on earth did you see!"

Aldemir called from below.

But how should Cosmo describe it? He had no idea how to accurately and concisely describe what he saw.

A thin layer of black mist poured into the opera hall, and the crowds crowded together. Where the black mist passed, many people fell to the ground before they could scream, like wheat cut by a scythe. Straw, but soon even the corpse no longer existed - their flesh and blood quickly decayed, and even the silk-woven formal clothes on their bodies disintegrated and scattered like dust and mud.

"The concentration of Honkai energy is getting higher!"

Destobia screamed. She was the only fusion warrior among the four and could feel the concentration of Honkai energy nearby.

If we use weather to describe it, a world without Honkai energy would be sunny, and the current world under normal circumstances would be cloudy or overcast. Then the place where these people are now can simply be called the ocean!

"Wait a minute, my ability is spiritual perception. I can temporarily possess my spirit on living things."

After Destobia finished speaking, without waiting for the others to object, she closed her eyes and let her consciousness drift out like a clear dream.

But just a second later, she opened her eyes in shock.

"What's wrong?"

"Gulu..."

She swallowed.

"No...no..."

"there is nothing?"

"In the black fog, there is no life."
