The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"drop--"

"Name: Mikael"

"Gender: Male (tentative)"

"Position: Captain of the Fire Chaser Anti-Entropy Brigade"

"Permissions: Highest Level - Authentication Successful"

"Wow——"

The thick armored door slid open to both sides. Mikael turned his head sideways and tilted his head back, pouting:

"Let's go, you don't need me to push you, right?"

"snort!"

He responded with a cold snort.

Mikael ignored him and walked toward the deep tunnel.

Tarot waited in place for a long time, but did not wait for Mikael to turn around again. He could only snort twice, then hold the handle next to the wheelchair and press forward.

"Gululu——"

The wheelchair ran quite fast, and he caught up with Mikael in a short while.

But he couldn't help but look at his lower limbs. Fortunately, one leg and one hand were broken, and they would be restored in a few months.

"Da da da--"

"Gululu——"

The endless tunnel made the sound dull and lengthy.

Tarot wanted to ask: "Do you Fire Moth people like such a dark environment?"

Before he could speak, he inadvertently looked at the hangtag above his head that was still stained with blood and had not been replaced for a long time.

The characters on the tag emit a faint fluorescent light. In this dark tunnel, they are as scary as the eyes of a beast in the night, especially after seeing the line of characters clearly——

[Enter the Fire Chaser Poison Chrysalis Base here]

Tarot, who was about to curse, immediately shut up. He even wanted to sew his mouth shut with a needle.

After all, it was the wrong thing I had done.

So, is this the reason why they locked him up here?

Just as he was thinking this, Tarot raised his head casually, but couldn't help being stunned.

There was nothing in front of him. Where was Mikael's back?

He trembled all over, and for a moment he had so many thoughts, fear and regret came to his mind:

"I fucking knew this was the case! How could they let me go! They even said they were bringing me to see Kiel. They just wanted to trick me here and kill me!"

"Fucking bastard! If you have the ability to kill your father and me in public! It's a shame that I believe in your evil deeds! What kind of man can you be if you are so cowardly and tricking people into killing them!"

"Wait a minute, Mei doesn't seem to be a man..."

His neck was stiff, and many angry words reached his throat, but he didn't have time to spit them out - he forgot to press the brake button of the wheelchair in fear, and he couldn't find the button in his panic, so he could only watch himself. The four-wheeled vehicle sped away into the darkness.

"Ahhh!"

"Boom!"

Mikael's heel lifted up and caught the spinning wheelchair. Only then did Tarot slowly recover and immediately let go of the handle.

He quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his hand, for fear of being looked down upon by Mikael, but halfway through wiping it, he discovered another problem - why is the surrounding area so open?

He raised his head and looked around. In the middle of the tall dome was a world-famous painting called "The Creation of Adam", surrounded by a circle of extremely rough gold-plated auspicious cloud patterns. Not sure if it was an illusion, Tarot squinted and saw that The clouds and fog in the painting seemed to be changing quietly. The naked Adam's head and face did not move, and his eyes suddenly turned and blinked at him.

"hiss!"

He shrunk his neck, took a breath of cold air, and did not dare to look up again.

Sunlight penetrates from all sides, reflecting colorful brilliance on the smooth marble floor through the kaleidoscope-like windows.

Even... there was even the low voice of the choir, but Tarot looked at it and saw that the benches around him were empty, and there were only a few figures on the altar at the front.

But thinking of Adam who just winked at him, Tarot felt a little surprised at this moment.

Wait a moment! Isn’t this just a church?

Tarot stretched his neck and looked forward. The figure sitting on the holy platform was bound all over, and his eyes and mouth were covered with black cloth.

As for the nun standing motionless on the side, if the wind from nowhere had not ruffled her robe, it is hard to say that she would not have been regarded as a painted sculpture.

But... we were still in a dark tunnel just now, so why did we arrive at the church again in the blink of an eye?

His eyes deflected, glancing back and forth between Mikael and the nun.

He suddenly had an idea and wanted to pat his shiny head out of habit, but unexpectedly it touched his injured left arm, and he immediately let out a muffled groan.

Tarot finally remembered the information about the nun - Aponia, a nun recruited by Mikael after arriving at Twilight Street. There was very little information about this person in the coalition government's intelligence. He only remembered that she was the earliest spirit. Sentient fusion warrior.

After all, the ability of commandments is top-secret information even within Fire Chaser Moth. Not to mention ordinary warriors, even those fusion warriors who urgently underwent super-transformation surgery during the eighth Honkai Impact did not know the existence of commandments. ——Although they may have been disciplined more than once.

"Is this a place created by spiritual power? Is this a spiritually aware fusion warrior?"

Tarot was still daydreaming, and Michael tapped his foot lightly to bring his thoughts back.

Mikael had no intention of interpreting his doubts, although his inner thoughts were clearly visible under the power of the Eighth Herrscher.

He just said softly:

"Let's go."

This time, there was no need for Tarot to do it himself. An invisible traction tied his wheelchair, and the wheelchair slowly followed Mikael's pace.

Although the inner principles of the power of the Ninth Herrscher and the Second Herrscher are different, in terms of expression, they are a bit too similar.

Just like now, no one can guess whether that thin gravitational force is the power of air or the power of rock, as long as Mikael doesn't say it - well, you can bet with Ellie on this next time.

"Thank you, Aponya."

Mikael jumped up to the altar vigorously, and Tarot's wheelchair was parked under the altar.

Aponya's chest rose and fell slightly, holding up her white robe. Then she put down her hands that were clasped in front of her chest and said helplessly:

"Mikael, one must always be in awe...Why don't you come up from the next step?"

"Oh, well, Qianjie said not to take the steps, you will be too slow."

Mikael calmly threw the pot to Qianjie, but unexpectedly there was a cold snort from above his head.

"I just said why Aponya always bothers me... pay attention to me, it turns out you are spreading rumors all day long!"

Mikael raised his head in embarrassment, only to realize that there was a third person present - Qianjie, who was hanging in the air and carving the dome pattern with a file.

"Master Qian, come down first."

"Go away...please go away, I have to work."

"But I'm a little scared if you don't come down."

"you--"

"Okay Qianjie, you can leave first... This is where my spiritual construction is, so there is no need for such trouble."

Aponya, who couldn't stand it anymore, waved his hand, and the rough patterns carved out by Qianjie with a file became neat and beautiful again in a wave of fluctuations.

"Then why did you ask me to do this?"

"Qianjie, you are too irritable. I hope to use this method to train your mind, that's all."

"Crack-"

Qianjie's file fell to the ground, his free hand covered the mask, and the surrounding temperature became hot:

"Aponia, you are robbing—"

Master Qian's voice stopped abruptly. After all, it was the consciousness space, and he was directly [invited] out by Aponya.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already a dark tunnel. His anger was already rising, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. He could only smash against the wall of the tunnel.

But the flaming fist stopped again just a short distance away from the armored wall. He remembered that the last time he did this, he was forced to do hard work by Aponia for a month, but he couldn't beat her, and said But she...

To be sure, he had already experienced the power of Apponia even before he met him.

But he couldn't beat him... Facing Aponya, who had mastered spiritual power, he had been killed eight hundred and twelve times in a thousand tribulations.

If you include the defeat without a fight just now, that would be eight hundred and thirteen times.

"Hey! Isn't it just a wall? I... let's go to the simulated war room..."

Unlike another possible Thousand Calamities, there is no grudge between him and Aponya that must be settled, so...

Although I don’t know why, Mikael and Kevin will say something to him whenever they have free time... If a grown man can bear it, he can bear it, but... forget it, bear it!

While he couldn't stop humming coldly, he hummed an unheard song for the first time.

That weird voice echoed in the cold tunnel. He once firmly stated that Eden's singing was noise, but if Eden heard his humming at this time, he would probably frown, right?

Although the voice is indeed good, the tone can be compared to... well, comparable to... Kosmo's stage debut?

"Wow——"

He pressed the button and the door opened to both sides.

After taking another two steps forward, he was only half a step away from walking out of the tunnel. Qianjie suddenly stopped, folded his hands in front of his chest, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said nothing, just waiting leisurely.

A minute later, the broken hair on his forehead was wet with anxious sweat.

Two minutes later, he was letting out no less than a cold snort every second, and white water vapor gushes out from the gaps in the mask, which is even scary.

Three minutes later, he finally couldn't bear it anymore——

"Mebius, how long do you want to wait?"

"Hey! Stop being so pretentious, I'm waiting for Mikael, not you!"

On the side of the tunnel exit, Mebius, the little Doudin, put his hands in the pockets of his too-loose white coat and walked out slowly.

"Oh, really? This is the first time I've ever heard of someone waiting for someone to hide in a corner where no one is paying attention."

Qianjie felt that his intelligence had been insulted.

"Whatever you want, I'll be waiting here and won't interfere with you."

Mebius leaned generously against the tunnel wall, and even took his empty hands out of his pockets to show Qianjie.

"snort!"

Qianjie walked away, still paying attention to Mebius from the corner of his eye.

But until the two bodies crossed each other, Mebius really had no more moves.

But Qianjie won't be confused, he will only think that she knows the situation.

However, what is coming will always come.

Seeing Qianjie walking away without the slightest desire to stop and talk more, Mebius raised the corners of his lips and suddenly said:

"Qianjie, have you thought about that matter?"

Qianjie groaned and clenched his fists tightly. He struggled with himself for a long time before he made up his mind. In line with the principle of not destroying the friendship between comrades, he suppressed a bunch of swear words he had just learned, turned around impatiently and asked:

"Which thing?"

"It's [that one]..."

"Mebius!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Sharp laughter echoed in the tunnel. It wasn't until Qianjie couldn't bear it anymore and took a step towards Mebius that she covered her mouth and stopped laughing.

The light green fluorescent light sets off the snake-like vertical pupils, which are particularly conspicuous in the dark.

In contrast, there was white steam rising from Qianjie's body due to overheating.

"Uh-huh! What that woman said is really good. Your suppressed anger is really cute... But Qianjie, do you really not care - you really don't want to become stronger? With you? Like our comrades."

"Hmph, don't tempt me. I don't need that kind of power."

"Your original power is indeed powerful, but I don't think it conflicts with the fusion warrior. Look - as Herrschers, haven't Mikael and that woman both undergone fusion warrior surgery?"

"Hmph! That woman's identity was confirmed so quickly?"

The focus of Qianjie's concern was obviously off. Mebius gritted his teeth. The other party's attitude once again made her feel that she had lost to that woman in some aspect. This was obviously something she couldn't bear.

But in order to pursue this easily accessible truth, she could only force herself to accept it.

"Tsk! Although she has no core and does not show any special powers, you were also present at the moment she emerged. From the perspective of the three of you, is there really any difference between her and the Herrscher?"

Two lines of white steam spurted out of Qianjie's nostrils again, as if his nostrils were two flintlock barrels.

"Mebius, I don't like you calling them Herrschers. It reminds me of..."

"Tsk. It doesn't matter. Use whatever name you want to use."

Mebius knew that the man in front of her was using his poor emotional intelligence to change the subject stiffly, so she had to interrupt him, even though his words could be regarded as true words from the bottom of her heart from a certain perspective.

Qianjie was silent for a moment. This time, he was not angry, but turned around and moved out of Mikael——

"Although he has undergone that operation, hasn't he given up that strength now?"

"oh?"

Mebius tilted his head, and the sharp laughter sounded again:

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha - poor and stupid little Qianjie, you don't really think that Mikael gave up that..."

"boom!"

Thunder and lightning collide with flames, causing violent explosions and smoke.

Mebius quickly retreated from the fireworks, and the white coat that Klein had just washed and dried for her was dancing with flames.

Before she could extinguish the flames and the fireworks dissipated, Qianjie's figure was already gone.

She looked warily at the darkness around her, but ten seconds later, Qianjie never appeared again.

She extinguished the flames with both hands, looked at the burned hole in her white coat, clicked her tongue, and then kicked her hands back into her pockets - with Qianjie's temper, if she really wanted to start a fight, it would be impossible for her to hold her breath and not attack for ten seconds.

"Every single one of the male creatures here has the temper of a child."

Mebius shook his head disdainfully. Although his prey escaped from the palm of his hand again, where could he escape?

She believes that one day she will have the opportunity to uncover these mysteries and gain eternal truth.

The armored walls of the surrounding tunnels were shattered, and sparks were emitting from the lines inside. The sparks seemed to have hit some lubricating oil, and soon turned into thick smoke and fire.

She covered her nose and coughed lightly. She only heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance. The security mecha troops and the fire brigade came hand in hand.

"Doctor Mabey, are you hurt? What happened here?"

"It's nothing. Qianjie lost his temper again. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance."

"Ah...ah, that's it, then it's okay, that..."

Mebius turned around sharply, and his narrowed emerald eyes almost scared the fire captain out of his mind.

"Tsk, did you merge from the coalition government?"

"Yes, it is!"

"Tsk, remember, it's common for Qianjie fights to damage public property. Let your minister go directly to Mikael for the repair costs."

After leaving these words, she put her hands in her pockets and left gracefully.

The fire chief breathed a sigh of relief, and the sound of heels tapping on the metal floor came back from far to near.

"May...Dr. Mebius...you..."

"Why am I back?"

"Ah, yes, yes! Why are you back again... ah no, I mean... uh..."

Seeing Mebius frowning and looking dissatisfied, the fire captain's heart was already in his throat.

Fortunately, Mebius did not delve into it further:

"Okay, you can go about your business and don't worry about me."

She just suddenly remembered that she still had to wait for Mikael here.

Well, that's right, she didn't lie to Qianjie.

It's just that her existence is destined to make a group of firefighters who have heard various legends of Mebius' cannibalism wary even before they arrived at the Fire Moth.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"No, no, no, no..."

"My name is Mebius, not Mei. You can't even tell that?"

"No... no no no, no..."

Seeing the nervous and frightened look of a group of people, Mebius rolled her eyes. She suddenly stuck out her tongue and made a sound like a snake spitting out a message:

"Hiss...hiss..."

Everyone's movements became stiff and slow for a while.

She walked up behind a female team member, quietly took the flashlight from her waist, and then patted her shoulder.

The girl turned her head stiffly and saw that under the pale light of the flashlight, Mebius raised his head and looked down at her with his nostrils.

She stuck out her little tongue, and then quickly grinned——

"Hehehe, come and be eaten by me——"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Suddenly frightened, the girl instinctively closed her eyes, shrank her head, and turned the high-pressure water gun in her hand - a green figure was blown away by the high-pressure water gun without any defense.

…………

"Wow——"

Mikael directly lifted two black cloths from Kil's face. His rough movements made Tarot's eyelids jump in the audience.

"Can you still talk?"

"Hehehehe...hahahahaha...ahhahahaha!"

Mikael shook his head and turned to look at Aponya:

"Has he always been like this?"

Aponya's pityful eyes fell on Kil. When she followed the voice and turned to look at Mikael, her eyes were slightly focused, as if there was something profound in them.

The next moment, Gere shook his head and started singing——

"That day, He fell from the sky, and people on the earth looked up and saw the starry sky..."

"That day, He fell from the sky, and people on the earth looked up and saw the starry sky..."

"That day, He fell from the sky, and people on the earth looked up and saw the starry sky..."

He took the trouble to sing ancient songs and prophecies in different languages ​​​​and different tunes. Sometimes he did not even sing, but prayed, and sometimes he recited in a low voice.

Cold sweat slipped from Mikael's forehead and merged into the hair on his temples.

He guiltily avoided Aponya's gaze, looked at Kil whose eyes were red and was so crazy that he was desperate, and asked knowingly:

"He's crazy?"

"Well, he's crazy, that's all he has in his head."

The more indifferent and natural Aponya's tone became, the more guilty Mikael felt.

He didn't believe that Aponya couldn't see that Kil's appearance was actually caused by him.

Whether intentional or not, he personally pushed him to the side of Honkai.

But his confidence quickly came back, and he has no regrets.

The entanglements that once troubled him for days and nights were now gone in the blink of an eye.

If something is done, it is done, and if it causes counterproductive results, it is caused.

Only children feel guilty and regretful.

Adults will only act like "I did it, what can you do to me?"

"Mikael, do you still have that compassion in your heart?"

Apponia suddenly asked.

Mikael did not answer immediately. He seemed to have really spent a lot of time thinking about this question. After three to five minutes, he gave a definite answer——

"certainly."

"That's good."

With a wave of Mikael's hand, the black cloth wrapped around Kil's eyes and mouth again, and the church fell into silence for a while, leaving only the holy singing of the choir floating leisurely.

"The [deepest part] is left to you, Aponya."

Mikael clasped his hands behind his back and broke the silence in a mature manner.

The so-called deepest place is the prison that the Fire Chasing Moth authorized Velvet to build on a small island numbered P-21 in the Pacific Ocean.

It was originally intended to house the remaining Poison Chrysalis prisoners, but those people "mysteriously disappeared" overnight.

But the project has not been suspended, and now a large number of prisoners will be sent there.

Among them were Fire Chaser warriors who could not withstand years of fighting, resulting in mental illness and casualties.

There are a group of creatures that are neither human nor ghosts that have been created over the years due to the fusion warrior surgery and the Stigmata Project.

There are also those in the coalition government who are stubborn and unwilling to cooperate with the flame-chasing moth.

Since they really couldn't convince these people, neither Mei nor Mikael had any patience with them anymore.

Only Apponia, a nun who was more ruthless than anyone else but was always associated with pity and indecision, was willing to take on the responsibility of guarding them.

As for the distance, it actually doesn't matter. With the Second Divine Key and Mikael, it only takes an instant to go back and forth to the deepest place.

"You can take Keir and those 'experiments' away first, but the others... I will send them to you in a few days."

"...Even those who have fought for humanity will not be spared?"

The conversation between the two did not shy away from Tarot, although he was confused at first.

"Oh, this, you can take some of it away first, and some of it must be obtained with the consent of the family members."

"..."

Aponya didn't speak, just stared at Mikael silently.

"Well, those people don't have families."

"...Mikael, if it were Mebius who said this to me, I would [ask] her to leave gracefully, but you...I believe in you, and I believe that everything you do is out of the same reason as me. The purpose, right? [Please] answer me, Mikael.”

"Yes."

Mikael's lips opened and closed uncontrollably, giving a positive answer, and then Aponya showed a tired smile.

"When you get there, you should pay more attention to the bottom of the sea. An entire continent has suddenly disappeared, the crust is moving frequently, and there is no possibility of sealing the Eye of the Abyss... In short, be careful. If you can't deal with it, just report it in time."

"Um."

Aponya gave a shallow response, and Mikael was not sure whether she heard it.

She turned back to look at the confused Tarot under the altar——

"Is he also here to receive discipline?"

"Huh? No, it's just to let him take a look at his old comrades."

"Oh, doesn't he have to go to the deepest place?"

"No, although I don't think it's necessary, May decided to set up a new Fire Council, and he is one of the members."
