The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

“967832185…”

“967832160…”

"967832089..."

Sweat dripped on Erwin's head, sliding along the bangs on his forehead to the tip of the pen, and finally fell tremblingly. The light and shadow on the screen in front of him were beating every minute, symbolizing the surviving humans in Mu Continent. The numbers keep falling.

Don't get me wrong, although a large part of the decrease in numbers is indeed due to earthquakes caused by continental shifts, the vast majority is still due to...

"Captain Mikael, can you step back a little? We don't have to keep moving like this..."

Danzhu on the side glanced at the two men whose bodies were almost overlapping each other and stuck out his tongue.

"Ka-ka-"

Mikael put his fingers on the table hard and unknowingly made ten fingerprints on the table. Sweat fell like rain, soaking Erwin under him, but he had no time to talk to Erwin at this time. Irvine was talkative, and after many years, he finally felt a slight sting in his brain again.

He stared intently at the satellite images that popped up under the numbers. The latitude and longitude were also attached to the pictures. Mikael squinted his eyes and located all the humans in the picture in just an instant, and then identified them all in one go. Packing them up and stuffing them into the space rift, when they were thrown out, they were already on the coast of East Asia after several years of reconstruction - he had been doing this for half an hour.

Mikael looked up at the number: "967831789..."

His eyelids couldn't stop beating wildly. At the current speed, it would take him almost 280 hours of continuous work to move the entire population of Mu Continent to a safe area.

"I really have to thank the coalition government for this... If there are really two billion people, I won't be able to bear it..."

Mikael couldn't stop laughing in his heart, half bitter smile, half sneer.

The population captured by Prometheus through real-time satellite images is less than one billion, which is simply jaw-dropping - just to get some basic living necessities, so what!

But even if the number of targets is reduced by half, relying on Mikael's personal power to transfer everyone before Mu Continent is completely swallowed by the Quantum Sea is just a fantasy.

"The underwater city Atla below the city of De Moana Kino has drifted to a place less than ten nautical miles away from the Eye of the Abyss!"

Mikael slammed his fist on the table, and he stood up slowly, finally stopping this macroscopically useless struggle.

Erwin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Danzhu, hurry! Get a towel over here! There's also an oxygen bottle! I'm going to be deprived of oxygen!"

Mikael pursed his lips. He was about to apologize, but felt embarrassed again, so a gust of blue wind came out of nowhere. Erwin's breathing became smoother in an instant. At the same time, a warmth came from Mikael's body. The sweat on his body... turned into salt frost.

"What's wrong?"

Mei's greeting came on time, and she naturally paid attention to the situation outside in the cubicle of the command room.

"There is simply no time. Instead of saving one by one, it is better to use this time to think of a good solution."

The atmosphere was a bit cold. Mikael touched the stubble on his face. He knew that his words might be too cold-blooded. According to Prometheus' calculations, it would take about a day for Mu Continent to be completely swallowed up. The so-called "can save one person" It’s one” that could actually save nearly 100 million people. But this is only an ideal state. The simulated black hole can last up to two hours, and the Ninth Herrscher will not give them time.

Mikael also tried to directly close the Eye of the Abyss, but the closer he got to the pseudo-black hole, the more distorted the space became, so that when he separated the power of space and tried to sew the door of the Quantum Sea in the form of thread, he was The twisted golden thread actually opened the door to both sides.

If he hadn't been mentally prepared and stopped in time, half of the earth might be gone now.

But he didn't expect that Mei was more ruthless than him:

"If you really can't care about it, then don't worry about it. As long as you can kill the Ninth Herrscher in time, it will be completely worth it even if you sacrifice the entire Mu Continent."

Mei's subtext is obvious - after all, the total population of Mu Continent is "only" less than one billion, and "still" less than one-third of the current total population of the earth. There is actually no dispute about which is more important.

The tram problem that has troubled everyone in Fire Chaser for many years is now solved.

Because when the tram actually reaches the fork in the road, everyone will naturally make a choice.

Mikael closed his eyes, took two steps back and sat on the steps. He kept twirling his fingers, making a series of "cracking" sounds.

He kept thinking in his mind.

He has eight kinds of powers. Of course, not every one of them can be mastered as skillfully as the previous two, and not every one of them is suitable for use in combat, but the possibilities they give him are the most precious and enviable. , Mikael still remembers what Captain Himihu once said.

Now, the fate of Mu Continent is doomed. Even if it is not swallowed by the quantum sea, it is destined to fall apart under the influence of gravity. People and things on Mu Continent cannot be saved...

But is there really, really no chance of salvation?

Mikael didn't believe it.

Each collapse is a staircase, with a total of twelve levels. Only when you reach the end can you face the end.

Before now, Mikael had only been focused on moving forward, but he rarely really took a look at how many humans were beside him at each step.

At first, he only cared about himself and Ai Li, and until now, he only cared about the people he knew. After careful calculation, he did change the fate of several people.

From Carol to Himich, to Destobia, Blanca... Then, he inevitably became greedy——

This time, facing the established destiny, he wanted to make more changes.

"This battle is unusual. The enemy controls gravity and is affected by the Quantum Sea. We cannot fight him directly, but this does not mean that there is nothing we can do against him."

Mei looked at Mikael who was deep in thought and did not disturb him. Instead, he turned around and laid out his battle plan:

"The method is simple - since we can't fight him in reality, let's change the battlefield! We have so many spiritual perception fusion warriors, fight him directly with our consciousness!"

"However, most spiritually aware fusion warriors only have a few spiritual abilities. Even if they fight in consciousness, they may not be able to compete with the Herrscher... No, it is even difficult to save their lives."

Su has the best say on this. Not all spiritually aware fusion warriors are Aponya, and mastering spiritual abilities does not mean they are invincible in the battle of consciousness.

If we talk about mental abilities alone, no one can be stronger than the Eighth Herrscher, but her main method of combat is to drag people into dreams and wait for their physical functions to deteriorate.

The reason is that the combat effectiveness in the consciousness space is also based on their own real combat effectiveness. Mentally aware fusion warriors can also get some ability bonuses in this regard, but this bonus is limited by their own combat effectiveness and can only Say it's trivial.

Not to mention, not all spiritually aware fusion warriors can master the power of "consciousness". There are many people like Destobia, whose abilities are more reflected in using telekinesis to control surrounding objects.

Not to mention, it takes roughly two to three years for fusion warriors to initially develop their abilities. The longer they get, the stronger they become. However, most people, including Su, have only become fusion warriors for less than a week.

To be honest, it's a bit tasteless, after all...

Not everyone who has mastered spiritual abilities will be able to hoe the ground...ah, no, it can turn everything around...

"Well, maybe you misunderstood what I meant."

Mei shook her head. Her understanding of spiritually aware fusion warriors was not as good as hers, so she would not make such a simple mistake.

"What Mei means is that the spiritually aware fusion warrior uses his ability to bring people with combat capabilities into the consciousness of the Ninth Herrscher, right?"

Mikael stood at the door of the compartment at some point.

"Except for Aponya, even Su Hehen would not be able to do this easily. His brain might even be overloaded. In the end...but...I am here!"

"Have you developed your power over the Eighth Herrscher to this extent?"

Of course, power cannot be fully exerted by just mastering it. Although Mikael had seven powers before, the most frequently used ones were the power of reason and the power of space. The development of thunder, ice, and fire has not fallen behind, but It is rarely used in daily life, and the power of wind has no idea how to integrate it into its own combat system, so it is worse than the power of space. It is used daily for ventilation and keeping dry.

In just a few days, Mikael was able to develop the powers of the Eighth Herrscher that he just took over to a point where he is superior to a group of spiritually aware fusion warriors. I don't know whether it is because of his strong talent or because of this. The power just suits him.

"Huh? What you just meant was that you could..."

Mei couldn't find the right words for a moment.

"Not sure, I'll give it a try first."

Before Mei could reply, she realized that everything around her had turned into endless white.

"here it is……"

Ai Li's murmur came from behind, and Mei turned around, only to see the figures of Kevin, Qianjie, Ying, and Su appearing in this space one after another.

"These should be enough while retaining some power."

Mikael's voice came from all directions, but in the blink of an eye, everyone's consciousness returned to reality again.

"What did you mean by retaining part of your power just now?"

"It's very simple. Regarding Mu Dalu, I don't think it's time to give up."

"But you tried it just now. There is not enough time at all. It is better to put all your strength into the battle against the Ninth Herrscher. If it were you, you could defeat the Ninth Herrscher just by relying on your own consciousness, without such a huge effort. Fei Zhouzhang.”

Mikael smiled, and a smile clearly flashed in Mei's eyes, but she still had to pretend to be indifferent, pretending to be absolutely rational...

What is this, are you deliberately forcing him?

Feeling that Mikael had seen through her thoughts, she couldn't help but clear her throat in embarrassment. She was about to express the questions in her heart, but unexpectedly, Kevin preempted her by knowingly:

"Stop being so pretentious, Michail, tell us anyway. Do you need any further cooperation from us?"

"It's not necessary."

Mikael shook his head, "From beginning to end, this matter only requires me and the Key of the Second God in Velvet's hand. It's almost two hours since the pseudo-black hole dissipated, right?"

A pair of eyes full of curiosity stared at him in a panic. He tried to use other words to explain it away, not because he wanted to hide it, but because he didn't want to break other people's good expectations.

But after thinking about it, sooner or later, it would be more appropriate to deal with what will be faced sooner or later than the pain when hope is shattered - this is also a lesson learned from Mikael himself.

So he pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Well! Use your imagination. Our goal is to protect the lives of nearly a billion people on the Mu continent. If that's the case, why do we have to stick to this world?"

Alicia was the first to react and said "oh".

Kevin, who drifted through the world bubble, followed closely. As for the others, they may understand, or they may not want to believe it.

Mei twitched the corner of her mouth and showed a smile that was unclear whether it was ugly or gratifying:

"Mikael, your plan is too crazy..."

"Involve the entire Mu Continent into a world bubble, so that it can survive independently after being swallowed by the quantum sea. I should be able to do this by adding the Key of the Second God. Other plans can also be launched later. , find this world bubble and connect it back to the original world, quite a good plan, right?”

Everyone fell into silence for a while.

Life or death, existence or not, has always been one of the most difficult propositions in philosophy. In this way, one billion people on the Mu Continent have indeed survived from a biological perspective, but from a sociological perspective... they have since severed ties with the rest of the world, and then they cease to exist...

As for "Other plans can be launched later to find this world bubble and connect it back to the original world", everyone only regarded this as Mikael's comfort.

Only Mei's eyes shone with an indescribable light.

"Of course, there is another problem - in the process of defeating the Ninth Herrscher, the gravity it emits and the energy of the quantum sea will be periodically unbalanced, and the imaginary number barrier I deployed is no longer enough to reduce the plate movement... "

"So you need me to swallow up all this excess energy, right?"

Kosmo leaned against the corner, and before speaking, he quietly patted away Destobia's and Alicia's hands stroking his horns.

Along with his words, his arms stretched in front of him gradually twisted into sharp claws in the blue light. This was proof that he had undergone a second super-transformation surgery and gained the power to control man-made collapse.

Mikael pursed his lips - Mebius, this guy, moved really fast, well, just as he expected.

He spread his hands and praised every word:

"bingo--"

…………

"Alas--"

Two giant mechanical arms crossed to receive the Herrscher's attack, and the wrist of the mechanical claw suddenly twisted in reverse, clasping the Herrscher's left wrist.

The mechanical claw continued to exert force, causing the armor plate on Herrscher's left wrist to dent continuously. Velvet seemed to want to cut off Herrscher's left wrist in this way.

But apparently, it took her too long.

Although Herrscher's right hand was cut into ice crystals by Sakura's sword, the main arm was still there. It endured the pain, twisted its body, rounded its right arm, and slapped it horizontally.

Before the attack came, the wave of water almost made it impossible for Velvet to stand, but she was prepared, relaxed her body, and let the gravity of the black hole pull her backwards——

"I'm sorry, Armed Three to Mikael!"

An indescribable creature with only an upper body and two mechanical claws disintegrated into a pile of grotesque gears and parts during the collision. One of the two mechanical arms was grabbed by the Herrscher and thrown towards Velvet. Come.

"Now, please show Kevin Arms No. 38!"

With the help of the Second God Key under his body, another strange-shaped gear polymer was summoned. It seemed to be a pair with the previous Anti-Mikael Armed No. 3... The former only had an upper body and two arms, while the latter It’s just the lower body and two legs…

Velvet's upper body was dragged backwards by the gravity that resembled a black hole, and her lower body was stuck in the driver's seat of Kevin's Armed No. 38. She even fastened her seat belt quickly and quickly.

"Fortunately, in order to counter Mikael's space collapse, I specially installed anti-gravity mode on all weapons..."

She moved her hand forward enough to finally touch the console, and then pressed the button without hesitation——

"Colorful fireworks show!"

Open the lower belly armor plate of Kevin Arms No. 38. The weapon has been gathering dust in the warehouse since it was disassembled from Zhuhuo No. 1. It was recently fished out by Velvet and modified with a 680 mm track. The gun folded and turned over, and the gun body extended to fifty meters.

"boom!"

The armor-piercing projectile shot out along the illuminated track and penetrated the mechanical arm of the Anti-Mikael Armed Three. The remaining impact force pushed it aside, and then, under the pull of a simulated black hole, it collided with the Anti-Kevin Armed Three. Number 18 passed by.

"Wait! Hey! What are you doing? You can't catch that!"

The Ninth Herrscher rushed forward, took advantage of the gap between the rail gun's charging, and held it under his left armpit. At the same time, he kicked his right foot hard and pulled out the rail gun.

"Roar!"

He held the rail gun upside down and smashed it down. Velvet twitched the corners of her mouth and softly spit out a number:

"121!"

If you zoom out, you will find that the broken parts and gears flowing like whirlpools in the surrounding sea suddenly slow down, and finally slowly fall to the bottom of the sea.

Unfortunately, two minutes had exhausted all her reserves, but fortunately, she had managed to survive until now - the gravity that resembled a black hole had disappeared in the last second.

She raised her head and faced the barrel that was getting closer and closer to her.

She had no power to fight back, and of course, there was no need to fight back.

In this regard, she is absolutely confident in her comrades.

Sure enough, the barrel hit, but there was no feedback of hitting the entity. The Ninth Herrscher looked at the empty front in confusion and blinked without thinking.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw endless white.

Kevin, Alicia, Qianjie, and Sakura were located at his front, back, left and right, forming an encirclement. Su was farther away. His mission was not to directly participate in the battle, but to use his mental power to limit the consciousness of the Ninth Herrscher. The influence of gravity in space.

Kevin jumped twice, his toes barely an inch off the ground. He picked out two pistols from the left and right sides of his belt with his index fingers, held the handles of the guns behind his back and closed them in front of his chest.

A massive amount of Honkai energy surged out from the core that was divided into two halves, and the blazing flames surged downwards, and the red light solidified into the blade of the great sword.

Kevin put the Skyfire Sword on his shoulder and said coldly:

"Twice the gravity, that's enough. Watch, I'm going to launch an awesome attack!"

"boom!"

The Ninth Herrscher knelt down on one knee. A blow of sky fire that was enough to destroy half of the city only cut through the armor plate and left a three-point wound on the Herrscher's knee. The tongue of fire surged backwards, blowing the Herrscher The armor plates on the lower legs melted into orange-red.

"cherry!"

Kevin deflected the sword, and the blade cut into a circle. As Kevin's momentum continued unabated, scrawled sparks erupted between the sword blade and the armor plate.

Rushing tens of meters away in the blink of an eye, Kevin wielded the sky fire and swept the sword across. From a third party's perspective, it looked like he was slashing at Sakura who was rushing towards her.

But how is that possible?

Sakura exerted force on her calves, tapped her left toe on the ground, jumped up slightly, and then tapped her right toe on the sweeping Skyfire Sword.

Kevin abruptly reversed his movements and changed his sweeping motion into an upward lift. Sakura used this force to fly directly upwards.

Herrscher seemed to have eyes behind him. He quickly twisted his body, turned over and sat down on the ground. The broken part of his right wrist regrown his hand under the influence of mental power. Taking advantage of Sakura's slow movements under the influence of gravity, Herrscher The man spread his fingers and threw it over.

Sakura couldn't use her strength in mid-air, but she didn't panic. When she was in Mu Continent, she could cut off Herrscher's hand with one knife. Although she had the advantage of Herrscher's ignorance at that time, it at least meant that Herrscher was new and ignorant. Since her hands lacked defense, it would not be difficult for her to reproduce the sword strike.

She pushed out the ice blade with her thumb, and the tip of the blade rubbed against the carp's mouth, causing ice shards to fly——

"moment……"

The cold sword light was swung out, but it fell into the air. She looked at the Herrscher who was pushed away by Qianjie's iron mountain support, and the corners of her mouth twitched awkwardly, and then without hesitation, she twisted her body in mid-air, and again Kill towards the Herrscher.

This pure white world suddenly fell into an ensemble of ice and fire.

It turns out that Keel's description was not groundless, but it was indeed exaggerated. A giant mecha made of flesh and blood, its flexibility is far superior to that of ordinary mechas. The storm caused by the swing of its limbs can even destroy a tall building, but its excessive size is still a disadvantage that cannot be compensated - it is too easy to be destroyed. Hit.

However, in the double gravity state, the movements of Kevin and others are inevitably affected, and if they make a mistake in dodging, they will at least be seriously injured.

Su was also under great pressure. He was suppressing the Ninth Herrscher's ability all the time, otherwise the influence of gravity would be at least ten times greater.

He secretly opened his eyes and glanced at Alicia, the only one who didn't take action, but stood there with her eyes closed and silently felt all this.

She unclenched her hands and clenched her fists, and her mind suddenly recalled Mikael's previous words:

"No need to suppress, quick solution, even if I fall into excessive weight and super change, I can reverse it in the space of consciousness."

And turning around, he secretly pulled himself aside——

"Alicia, have you really felt your own power?"

"Hahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha——"

The battle on the field continued. Qianjie laughed wildly and nailed a pillar made of lava into the Herrscher's calf, nailing it to the ground. The next moment it was shot away by him.

Silently, snowflakes fell, and the sword reappeared in an instant. It seemed that the light and shadow dimmed for a moment, and then the Herrscher's other calf turned into ice crystals splashing all over the sky.

"Sky Fire—Holy Judgment!"

Kevin gritted his fangs, and a purple horn grew out of his head. Flames and frost surged from his body at the same time. He only heard a "bang", and the bright flames swept through the entire space at this moment, sweeping away The Herrscher's lower body was reduced to ashes.

Kevin's feet went weak, but he still managed to twist his body. Honkai energy surged out, and ice and snow grew along the sword body of Skyfire. The overflowing cold air froze the remaining flames under his feet.

But there was a sudden weight on his shoulders, and his smooth movements almost stopped in place.

Instinctively, he glanced at Su, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath. The fierce battle allowed the Herrscher to break through his suppression.

"not good!"

As Herrscher's upper body fell, he spun his body and slapped Sakura and Kevin away with both hands.

"Alicia!"

His fists clenched violently.

"Actually, you don't need to be afraid, and you don't need to suppress your power. I have always wanted to hide this for you. However, after experiencing so much, I feel that everyone will only happily accept the Herrscher who fights for mankind. Right? What's more, unlike me, you have never hurt anyone as a Herrscher, so if I can fully accept my identity as a Herrscher, you must also be able to-"

"Alicia!"

The girl's eyes suddenly opened, and the bright pink pupils hid the blue, outlining the diamond-shaped pupil patterns.

She blinked slightly, and the pink color that symbolized the girl gradually deepened, and her eyes began to flow with colors like a river of stars.

"Su, please help me again!"

Su propped himself up, his cheek muscles moved, his neck stretched, and the phantom of a peacock spreading its tail appeared behind him——

"Wheel of Karma!"

The gravity on Alicia's body suddenly disappeared, but the Herrscher, who was originally unaffected by these effects, was pressed to the ground by this gravity due to his excessive mass.

"It's now!"

"Alicia!"

"It's Alicia time now"

The girl's voice resounded throughout the world, but when everyone turned their attention to her, they could not see her original figure.

There was a flash of light first, and then a pink cross rose from the ground, reaching the sky and the ground, and its height was roughly estimated to be more than one thousand meters.

Then, the girl's figure solidified from the shadow and appeared on the cross. Her whole body was pink and her facial features could not be seen clearly, but her pointed ears and long shaggy hair were undoubtedly love. Licia's appearance.

In front of the holy and tall girl, the hundred-meter-tall Ninth Herrscher was like an ant, dirty and insignificant. In terms of size alone, perhaps only Mikael at a certain moment in the past was comparable to it.

The hem of her skirt was like a cross, as if tongues of fire were dancing on it. Although the flames were also dyed pink and white, their warmth could still be felt from a distance.

If you observe carefully, their beats are also regular, as if they are catering to someone's heartbeat - or perhaps their beats and their temperature come from someone's sincerity.

The girl took off her shackles, stepped off the cross, and walked toward the world.

Then, she held the void and made a gesture to draw the bow——

"Hey, I've been practicing this set of moves for a long time, but there are still some imperfections. Then... before I appear in this form next time, I have to ask Eden to redesign it."

Looking up following the witty voice, everyone discovered that Ai Li had not disappeared, but was wearing a set of pure white clothes, floating in front of the huge girl's figure.

"Let me announce in advance that the ninth collapse is over."
