The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-"

The giant hunched over and chased the tiny fluorescent light in front of him.

After being stripped of the genes of the four Honkaiju beasts, the giant's size shrank rapidly like a popped balloon. Its height did not change much, but almost all of the originally tangled muscles dissipated, leaving only a thin The flesh hung loosely, outlining the distinct shape of the bones.

It no longer has any Honkaimon abilities, and even after those Honkaimon factors leave, there is a question mark as to whether the [Instinct] that previously competed with Mikael still exists.

It still has the lost power of Mikael in its body, but that is not important anymore. Without consciousness as the reins, it is impossible to control the horse of power.

In short, today it is just a rampaging beast relying on its huge size.

In terms of combat effectiveness, it may not be as good as the combination of Pavanti and Shesha that Kevin will face, but this is a battle that cannot be left to others, because what he has to face is not so much the enemy as himself.

"Moo——"

The giant's soles easily wiped out a large block. Mikael jumped out of the flying stones and jumped onto a building, but the dust raised completely obscured his sight.

Although his vision was blurry, with his hearing and perception of the surrounding space, it was difficult for Mikael to figure out the giant's movements.

Just as he was about to move, the sky above his head suddenly became darker. He immediately stopped at the edge of the building and waved his five fingers while turning around, constructing a three-layer overlapping imaginary number barrier.

But before the giant's palm could overlap with the barrier, the wind from its palm when it swung to the ground still tore the imaginary barrier to pieces.

"Okay, I take back what I said before. You are much more powerful than Parvanti Gasshetha."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge palm fell from the sky, creating a huge crater within a radius of a hundred meters.

The palm wind completely dispersed the previous dust haze, and then rolled up even thicker dust, so that the giant could not see his own fingers clearly...

"Puff——"

Across the space rift, the spear tip of the Black Abyss White Flower pierced the skin on the back of the giant's hand, opening a small hole that was too small to even cause it to feel immediate pain. However, as the "Black Abyss" wrapped in the inner layer glowed, it symbolized The power of the power of death quickly poured in through this small hole, causing blue lines to appear on the skin on the back of its hand.

As for the giant, the size of the Black Abyss White Flower is no different than a normal person being pricked by a two or three millimeter long thin wooden thorn. He may feel a little numb, or he may not notice it at the time, but when he dies, After the power invades and the cells undergo massive necrosis, even this numbness can no longer be transmitted to the nerves.

Therefore, it didn't even know about Mikael's counterattack. It just stared at his right hand with scarlet eyes, as if its gaze could penetrate the dust haze.

Until a ray of blue light flashed through the dust haze, and Mikael was seen holding the black abyss white flower behind his back, running wildly along the giant's arm, the tip of the spear reaching to his feet, dragging long blood marks on the giant's skin, but The flesh and blood exposed inside is not the normal dark red, but green and black that has been eroded by power.

Unfortunately, for a giant with such a body, this level of cell apoptosis is just a drop in the bucket.

"Moo——"

The giant raised his arm high and threw Mikael's body down, and then waved his left arm to slap Mikael away in free fall.

But at this time, the disadvantages of the huge body are undoubtedly exposed - as Mikael added after the merger, "Some Explanations on Abandoning the Wanderer Plan" said, "The huge body does give the Wanderer unparalleled destruction. It has strong strength and psychological suppression, but its shortcoming is that it is too inflexible. When dealing with large Honkaimon, it cannot provide an advantage due to its size. When dealing with Herrscher, it will be too slow to hit the fly. "

Unless it possesses Honkai energy that far exceeds Herrscher level to support its actions, the Honkai element that previously gave the giant this condition has been stripped away...

So the giant's arms staggered back and forth, and its bones almost softened, so in the end, the arms were waving like ribbons. But Mikael relied on the power of space, like a fly that couldn't be swatted, in its hands. After traveling back and forth in the arm for several times, he once again jumped onto the giant's right arm.

As soon as his toes came into contact with the giant's skin, he felt something was wrong. He turned the tip of his toes gently and jumped up in the opposite direction, slightly pulling away.

The next moment, the giant's body suddenly crashed down, and the air waves rolled up directly blew Mikael away.

He shuttled between phases several times, and finally stopped in the solid space. He saw the giant in front of him on all fours like a wild beast.

"Gululu——"

As the throat trembled, a cloud of white steam sprayed out from the gap between the giant's teeth that were still embedded with flesh and blood.

Then, the two Mikaels' eyes met—

The same blood-red eyes, but one side has a vertical pupil that symbolizes savagery and animality, while the other side has a gear-shaped pupil that symbolizes human rationality.

"Moo——"

It roared loudly. The human body was not suitable for crawling, but under its control, the limbs were more flexible than when standing.

It opened its shoulders, lowered its body, and rushed toward Mikael.

"Tsk!"

Mikael tapped his toes on the solid space, using the power of space to walk through the empty high-rise buildings. The giants following behind easily swept these obstructive reinforced concrete jungles to the ground.

Its pupils were locked on Mikael, and no matter how he tried to escape, it would always pursue him in the shortest straight line and bite him tightly.

"boom!"

When it knocked open a building with its Tianling Gai and swung its left paw towards Mikael's back, which was within reach, the dazzling purple light stung its optic nerve for a moment.

The roaring thunder and lightning struck it head and face, causing it to be pushed back hundreds of meters amid its whine. When it tried to pursue again with its head full of white steam, a strong wind came from the side street again. It had to dig its hands and feet into the earth and bury its face in the ruins to avoid being hit by this sudden strong air flow. Overturned fate.

When it finally raised its head, it discovered that not only had the distance between Mikael and it not been pulled further, but he had even turned around and rushed towards him!

"Moo——"

The giant stood up half-upright with its lower limbs as support. With a wave of its left arm, it easily swept away the large pieces of ice falling from its head. At the same time, its right arm once again made the lucky cat gesture——

"Not good!"

Mikael's pupils shrank and he pushed his hands flat in front of him. By the time the giant's arm waved down, he had constructed five layers of imaginary number barriers from front to back.

But when facing the Seventh Herrscher, only the air wave caused by the two-hundred-meter-tall giant's attack was enough to overwhelm the Herrscher without the ability to fight back. What's more, with the ebb and flow of the other, the contrast in strength between the two sides was obvious. Even more disparity.

The five-layer imaginary number barrier was broken in just one encounter. Mikael stretched out his hand to summon a rift in the space. The terrifying air wave poured into the black space, and then poured out from the rift behind Mikael. The tall buildings along the road instantly turned into The air waves rushed out of the city and rushed to the seaside, rolling up even bigger waves before they gradually subsided.

At this time, Mikael's head went dark, and the giant's right arm was photographed again.

"whispering sound!"

The imaginary number barrier only blocked it for a moment, and Mikael took the opportunity to jump into the space crack behind him, and when he reappeared, he was already in mid-air.

The giant's throat rolled, and its neck suddenly swelled. Then the stirring moved forward and entered the mouth, so its cheeks swelled like a toad.

"That is?"

In just one second, the light coming out of its teeth solidified from purple to black. There was no doubt that it was the compression of pure Honkai energy. Unable to control its power, the Titan adopted the simplest and crudest method with the lowest utilization rate - it directly compressed and gathered a large amount of Honkai energy into the mouth until it could no longer be compressed and sprayed it out.

"fool!"

The space rift that Mikael jumped into had just closed, and the Honkai energy jet had already swept through that space. He used phase shuttles to seemingly evade this aggressive blow in an irregular manner, but in fact, while keeping the distance, he , and also directed the Honkai energy jet ejected by the giant towards the sky.

Until its neck pointed almost ninety degrees to the sky, Mikael suddenly jumped across the space rift and appeared directly in front of the giant.

He stretched out his body the moment he jumped out of the space rift. He held the middle part of the Black Abyss White Flower with his right hand. Under the insight and planning of the Herrscher of Reason, the state of each muscle and the force of the Black Abyss White Flower's throw and angles have undergone the most accurate calculations.

What's more, he was not fighting alone from beginning to end!

"Xie'er!"

When the spear was thrown, Mikael did not use the power of space, because it would take time to open the space rift, and the speed of this spear was faster than phase teleportation!

Black Abyss White Flower easily broke through the giant's skin, and the huge force made the blow no longer just a penetrating wound - the impact spread along the wound, and the surface skin and muscles rippled at this moment.

"drink!"

At this moment, Mikael's gear version's pupils also locked onto the wound.

The next moment, the power of space exploded. With the black abyss white flower as the anchor, the entire space quickly spiraled and twisted until the giant's left arm and half of his left chest were completely twisted off!

"I would like to call this strike divine power!"

The giant wailed, and the jet of Honkai energy gushing out of its throat was replaced by blood. The dark red liquid splashed tens of thousands of meters into the sky like a fountain, and hit the "border" of the world bubble, as if it had hit the A layer of transparent glass instantly dyed the entire sky red.

Then, the blood adhering to the invisible boundary gradually dripped, and blood rained from the sky for a while.

The giant looked at Mikael, who was standing in the air less than an arm's length away from him. It whined and shrugged its other shoulder, trying to mobilize its right arm. That's right, until this moment, it was seriously injured and had not given up on killing Mikael.

Perhaps, killing another self in the world is also due to the biological instinct of "survival".

Because having another self means that your existence is not unique, but a standard part that can be discarded and replaced at any time.

Only by making yourself unique can you survive in this world.

So Homo sapiens killed all humans except himself, and then became the favorite of the [gods] and established the current civilization.

At this moment, due to this instinct engraved in the living body, both [Mikael] are so obsessed with killing each other.

That is not something that can be analyzed rationally and expressed in words, but a [blessing] buried in every chromosome, an uncontrollable commotion of blood in the chest.

Mikael's throwing posture had just ended. He waved his right hand and held it flat in front of him. A rift in space suddenly opened at his side. He clenched his hand in time and grasped the black abyss white flower that shot out.

The holding position is exactly the same as the holding position when throwing it. Except that the posture is reversed, there is still a little sweat remaining on the handle of the gun.

On the other hand, the other Mikael held his neck and kept roaring. His voice was full of pain at one moment, and naked anger at the other.

Its right shoulder shrugged several times, but for some reason, its entire right arm didn't obey its orders at all. When it turned its gaze to its right arm in confusion, it saw that the originally gray-brown skin there had been covered in blue-black, the tendons and blood vessels on the skin were deflated, and a strong stench could even be smelled.

Obviously, that was the power of death that Mikael had injected into its right arm. Logically speaking, based on the power level and duration that Black Abyss White Flower poured into it at that time, it was naturally not enough to cause the cells in the giant's entire right arm to undergo apoptosis in such a short period of time. But who said this is the world?

Mikael wanted to drag the giant into this world bubble without any effort, naturally not only out of a sense of responsibility and destiny to fight alone, but also because in this world bubble, in this world bubble where the Sixth Herrscher has lost his power. , he can amplify the power of the Black Abyss White Flower countless times.

"Are you ready, Xier!"

"Tsk! It's such a waste of time, give it the final blow quickly!"

"okay!"

Mikael held the Black Abyss White Flower upside down with both hands, and used the momentum of his body's fall to easily pierce it into the ground.

Accompanied by the interweaving light of black and white, snow-white flowers grew immediately and covered every corner in sight. Even the fine rain of blood hitting the petals could not stain them with a trace of blood red. They slide along the petals and into the ground below, but they nourish the flowers even more. Then, thick green vines sprang out from the ground at Herrscher's feet, binding him easily.

After doing this, Mikael's body suddenly staggered. Fortunately, he was able to stand firmly with the help of the Black Abyss White Flower. After all, he was too hasty just now, and he did not completely reach "reconciliation" with his core, but almost used violence to forcefully obtain part of his power.

The power itself is incomplete and unstable, and the synchronization rate is even lower. Until now, the battle seems to be running out of fuel.

But then, a force completely opposite to the Herrscher surged violently from his chest into his limbs, causing all the muscles in his body to feel a slight soreness due to the overwhelming power.

"Wait a minute, Xi'er, you gave me too much!"

"Lusuo, are you going to fight me or not?"

Mikael chuckled lightly, and in the blink of an eye, the land where white flowers were blooming was suddenly covered with a layer of blue color.

That was the color he and Xier shared, as blue as water and the sky.

Then, tens of thousands of various rail guns, rockets, and electromagnetic sniper rifles locked onto the huge figure in the middle.

"A long-lost attack method..."

Mikael's soliloquy was covered up by the deafening sound of gunfire from the beginning. The dust kicked up by the explosion far exceeded the scale caused by the previous giant impact. If we observe this world bubble from the quantum sea, I am afraid that we can only see It looked like it was gray and chaotic.

Even the blood rain falling from the sky was covered with dust and haze.

Even Mikael's ability to use space power can only be vaguely understood.

But he believed in his own strength and in Xi'er's strength, so he launched a charge towards his former self without hesitation.

His body continued to rise through the cracks in space. When it broke out of the dust haze, what came into view was the giant's body riddled with holes.

Its face is painful and ferocious, but its facial features are so similar to Mikael's... no, those are Mikael's facial features...

The tip of the spear was getting closer and closer to the giant's eyebrows, and he could see the complex emotions suddenly flashing in the giant's eyes——

There was resentment, fear, and surprisingly, there was also a hint of relief.

And Mikael did not hesitate, allowing the black abyss white flowers to pierce the giant's eyebrows.

"Puchchi——"

He did not restrain his strength until he completely penetrated the black abyss white flower.

But when he blinked because of the blood on his face, what appeared in front of him was no longer a giant, but an extremely familiar, normal-sized figure, himself.

Black Abyss White Flower completely penetrated the other Mikael, almost cutting off his body at the waist, but Mikael himself maintained the thrusting movement and posture. Since he was in the air and falling posture before, it seemed inevitable at this time Somewhat funny.

"Ho ho..."

The other Mikael's Adam's apple rolled twice, and blood foam flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Haha, I thought you would hesitate for a while. Being so decisive is really not like...me."

He said this to Mikael.

"..."

Mikael opened his mouth in vain. He seemed to realize something, but... he was still not good at speaking when saying goodbye.

"But okay, decisively... oh... ahem! Just let the fragile part of you die with me... Dear myself, I don't know if I will be the last one, but if there is another one in the future, In this situation... please be the same as you are today and don't hesitate. Only by constantly killing your past can you truly move towards... ahem! "

"..."

"It seems I can't say anything sensational anymore. Goodbye, future me."

Mikael stretched out his left hand, trying to hold it against his body and pull out the white flowers from the black abyss, but before his hand could touch the other self, the other person turned into light and disappeared.

Mikael only had time to hold a handful of light particles, but they immediately flowed out from his fingers and dissipated without a trace.

In the blink of an eye, he was already standing in a field of blooming white flowers. The giant's body in front of him was rapidly decomposing under the power of death, and finally disappeared into nothingness.

The palm of his left hand was suddenly touched, which made him realize that he was not holding anything at all.

He raised his hand and saw two gems, one blue and one red, suspended in his palm.

"..."

Looking further in the direction, on the tall building that he had set as his initial anchor point, a pink figure was looking at this place from a distance.

Across a distance of dozens of kilometers, the two looked at each other without any hindrance.

He could even see the trembling of her eyelashes.

But he shook his head slightly - she was not her after all.

The next moment, his figure disappeared into the world bubble.

"嚓——"

The snow-white spear tip pierced the pitch-black scorched earth. Mebius suddenly opened the tent of the temporary command post, and Mikael stood in front of her unharmed.

"solved?"

"Well, where are they?"

"Tch, it's all settled. I'm on my way back. What? Do you want to go and greet me personally?"

There was nothing wrong with her words, and her tone was as familiar as ever, but coupled with her unprecedented "age", it was really hard not to give people the impression of a bitch.

"No, I have other things to do."

Mikael shook his head and simply refused.

Before Mebius could recover from his surprise, Mikael closed his eyes, lowered his head, and tightened his grip on Black Abyss Baihua's gun.

Just listen to him mutter silently: "Help me again, Xi'er!"

"Tsk! There's really nothing I can do about you!"

The two entangled blue colors centered on Mikael's body, creating a circle of ripples until they completely covered the entire underground city with a radius of nearly 60 kilometers.

Wherever this ray of light swept over, the originally pitch-black scorched earth gradually became fertile, and green shoots even sprouted out of the ground.

But the shock he gave Mebius was far more than that.

I saw a clearer light spread out, like a sketch pen, sketching out a simple sketch of the underground city in Mikael's memory on the new land - row upon row of tall buildings, pyramid-like headquarters bases, asphalt roads extending in all directions, and artificial lakes , breakwater, willows beside the breakwater, and the "Vilvi Chain" slanting in the sky.

As Mikael grinned slightly, the simple lines rendered each other, finally transformed from lines into planes, and finally became everything that actually existed. It only took ten seconds from start to finish.

The flood of light in the sky changed slightly. People rushed out of the tent one after another, stepping on the cold asphalt road and looking up. They saw that even the artificial "sky" above their heads had been completed by Mikael.

But just when Mebius lowered his gaze, just when Mei and others wanted to ask, the person who made all this disappear again.

…………

Eleven degrees and twenty minutes north latitude, one hundred and forty-two degrees eleven points and five minutes east longitude.

This is the deepest seabed in the world, and less than ten nautical miles to the east is the continent with the most advanced technology and the most densely populated population on the planet - Mu Continent.

The seabed was extremely dark, without even a trace of light, but it was different here. A small fluorescent light blooming not far away pointed the direction for Mikael.

"Tsk! I didn't expect you to understand her thoughts quite well."

"Xie'er has always wanted to take a good look at the sea, completely relaxed and unencumbered by any worldly things. And we have had countless opportunities to realize this wish."

"..."

This time, it was Xier's turn to be silent.

"Are you/am I Xi'er?"

In tacit understanding, at the deepest sea floor in the world, two consciousnesses are thinking about the same problem.

Suppose there is a ship called the Ship of Theseus that can sail for an infinite time. From the first day it leaves the port, the planks and parts that make up it begin to decay and destroy one by one. Whenever something like this happened, sailors would replace it with brand new parts until there was no longer a piece of the ship that was the same as the original one.

So, is this ship still the ship of Theseus?

If the dismantled rotten parts were reassembled into a ship, which one is the ship of Theseus, this ship or the one still sailing now?

This is the problem facing the two of them now.

Xi'er's consciousness is derived from Aponnia's copy of the previous Xi'er's personality, and it only represents the lower half of the schizophrenic personality. This is why her superficial personality is very different from the previous Xi'er.

And when it comes to the way of existence, she doesn’t even possess Xi’er’s original body, or even in a human form——

At the moment when the soul steel necklace she relied on for survival was swallowed by the Vishnu factor, [she], who had lost her original carrier, merged with the stigmata that had no carrier but no consciousness, and became what she is now. .

She realized that the carriers were all brand new, but she could still be called Xi'er. It was really magical...

"Anyway, I don't want to stay in your body all day long, watching you... Forget it, you can still use the power of the stigmata without me anyway. Even if I leave for a short time with your help, You can come back here anytime, right?"

"That's right."

"Then don't hesitate and show me what [the sea] really looks like."

"Um."

In front of Mikael, the entrance to the Quantum Sea opened slightly, then suddenly closed. Finally, it was completely unable to be perceived from the outside due to the stitching of space power.

Neither of them said goodbye, so it certainly wasn't a farewell.
