The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Da da da--"

"Gululu——"

Hearing the sound from deep in the tunnel, Mebius flipped his hair and turned his head to look over, just in time to see Mikael and Tarot walking out of the gate.

"Okay, now your wish has been fulfilled. If there are no problems, you can go back first."

Mikael said in as gentle a tone as possible, but he couldn't pretend to be gentle, and Tarot only felt a chill.

Tarot pondered for a moment, but then snorted coldly.

Compared to Kil, who is going to die in the deepest place for the rest of his life, and there are three other former members of [SEELE], he feels that he is lucky enough - when a vote needs to be made, he is in a coma during surgery. On stage.

The voting process and results were broadcast live to the world and were open, transparent, reasonable and legal. The only fly in the ointment is that one of Mikael and Kevin is holding the Black Abyss White Flower, and the other is holding the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judge, standing in a small corner of the conference room acting as "bodyguards."

But Tarot didn't need to care about this. When he woke up, the coalition government had disappeared, and all the original agencies were now under the name of the Fire Chaser Moth.

Or to put it another way, all most units have to do is take off the coalition government’s sign and replace it with the Fire Moth’s brand and logo, and that’s it.

He had no choice at all.

Because he was seriously injured in the Ninth Collapse, Vasak, who was in charge of publicity, had already praised him as "a hero of mankind" and "the only high-ranking member of the coalition government who dares to go to the battlefield"...

It's hard to get off the tiger, I really have no choice...

But Mei, and young people like Mikael...can't they be more respectful!

He wanted to protest but didn't have the courage.

Just then, Mikael grasped the armrests of his wheelchair.

"What are you going to do?"

He raised his head warily, although he quickly realized that he had no ability to resist in front of Mikael.

"Relax...relax..."

Mikael pointed to the figure not far away.

"Well! I'm sorry. Mebius and I have something to talk about. You may have to go back alone."

"Then what?"

Tarot couldn't wait to be like this. During this week, the guy named Yimer followed him every step of the way, and his activities were completely restricted to a small apartment.

Finally, he used the excuse of visiting Prisoner Kiel to come out for a walk. Who knew that Mikael directly used his space ability to take him from the apartment to this tunnel.

Now I finally have the opportunity to wander around... It's not to collect information or anything, it's just that I have been under house arrest in a small space, and I can't bear it mentally.

Eh... But if you say that, isn't Mikael afraid that he will get lost in the base?

Just as Tarot was about to ask, he saw the corner of Mikael's mouth twitching.

He secretly thought that something was wrong - without him, Mikael had previously agreed to his request to visit the prison, and when he thought he could move freely... this was the expression Mikael showed.

"I resist-"

Before he could finish his words, his body and wheelchair were swallowed by the space rift.

Only the sharp tail sound still echoed in the tunnel.

"Can't you be gentler to the elderly?"

Mebius started complaining from a distance.

"gentle?"

Mikael laughed and shook his head.

"Mebius, can you tell me what happened to the three senior executives of [SEELE]? Two of them died directly on the operating table, and one survived the super-transformation surgery and was on the fourth Die in ten minutes... haha."

“With the mortality rate of hypermutation surgery, is there anything wrong with that?”

"of course not."

Now it was Mikael's turn to be speechless.

Of course he was not against Mebius's approach, he just heard her mention tenderness and mentioned it casually.

Of course, it was also a reminder to Mebius not to be so simple and crude in the future, as it would leave traces too easily.

In the end, the topic returned to the beginning.

"Gentleness is Aponia's patent. I also want to be gentler to them, but I can't do it."

"You weren't like this before."

"Well……"

Mikael pondered for a while, with a trace of reminiscence on his face, but was cut off again.

"I don't want to deny who I was in the past, but the present cannot be equated with the past, and the distance traveled between the two cannot be reversed."

"Tsk!"

Mebius waved his hands in boredom, his disgust evident:

"Okay! Every time I talk about this, I have to talk in a long way, and my ears get calluses... But there is one thing, let's talk about it..."

Mikael walked side by side with her. Although he didn't understand how she made herself drown... like a snake, he didn't ask any more questions and used the heat rising in his body to dry her body of moisture. .

I don't know if it was due to the influence of this warmth, but Mebius's cheeks were a little rosy, and at the same time, her words became more cryptic.

"What's wrong?"

Mikael regretted it after asking.

For Tsundere Snake, if she doesn't want to talk, she won't say it, and she'll get anxious easily if asked.

But surprisingly, she was calm enough this time.

The price was that there was a long silence between the two of them.

Fortunately, this journey is long enough, as long as a lifetime, and a few words can only take a moment compared to it.

And after Mebius's chest rose and fell rapidly a dozen times, he finally spoke:

"In the past, on the one hand, I... but I also felt that you were too fragile, too indecisive, and always had a temper like a child. It was as if some kind of existence from the underworld was sent to tell me - even if the form of existence has undergone earth-shaking changes. Changes, the fragile human mind is still difficult to evolve. So at that time, I always thought, if you could be stronger and more decisive, then I might be more..."

"what about now?"

Mikael's voice was calm, but it interrupted Mebius' unspeakable conclusion just right.

An emerald light flashed in her eyes, and she glanced at Mikael quickly, pretending to be nonchalant, followed his example, and said as calmly as possible:

"You are no longer a child, well, at least you can be considered a normal adult."

"Then what?"

Mikael took advantage of the victory and pursued her, not giving her time to retreat calmly.

"Hmph! Then...then...then I found that I was not as happy as I thought. Because I understand very well how much pain you have shouldered behind your back to become what you are now, and how much pain you have brought to others."

She observed Mikael's expression and suddenly regretted saying these words.

"If you say this, it will hurt his heart..."

She couldn't bet on Mikael's "strongness". Although he showed such a face now, after all, the one who left the deepest impression on Mebius was the man who held her throat tightly with both hands and burst into tears. The boy who slapped her face was the boy who was forced to fight on the battlefield in the corridor filled with blood and gunpowder smoke.

"Oh, so what?"

Mikael stopped.

Mebius obeyed the inertia and took two more steps, then suddenly turned his head to look at him, with an inexplicable look of surprise on his face.

Her vertical pupils trembled slightly, and she looked at Mikael from top to bottom - his eyelids were drooped, looking completely indifferent.

"snort!"

She snorted, turned her head, crossed her arms, and walked forward regardless.

"Hey, you look like little sister Mebius."

Her angry look was imprinted in Mikael's eyes, and it echoed what Ellie secretly told him two days ago -

"Don't look at Grandma Mebius's straight face all day long, but she actually has a girlish heart! Afraid of getting too big, she would have an experimental accident from time to time to make herself younger. She would change her earlobes, brooches, and hairpins every day. But they were too embarrassed to cover it up with their hair and coat.

"This is nothing. Last time I went to give her... a maid outfit, and I found several pink shirts and skirts in her closet! There were lace bubbles on the skirts! I said, how can there be any? Girls can resist pink! She’s just too embarrassed to wear it in front of others. Maybe she’ll have to change it in front of the mirror every night when she goes home!”

Inexplicably, Mikael thought of something and couldn't help but blush.

He hurriedly took two steps and reached a position side by side with Mebius. Without any hesitation, he just wanted to bend down and hold her hand.

"So, you should finish your sentence, Mebius!"

"Tsk! Are you annoyed?"

Mebius slapped his hand away angrily, tilted her head, and spent a long time organizing her words. Finally, she looked at Mikael helplessly and gave a ridiculous answer:

"It's true, as Alicia said, she's not as cute as before."

"Oh no...what does this mean?"

Now it was Mikael's turn to feel confused.

"Hmph, let's talk about it. You asked me out specifically to talk about this nonsense, right?"

Mebius pursed his lips, wrinkled his nose, and wiped away the charm that had just arisen between the two of them.

"Ahem!"

Mikael put his right hand into a fist and coughed, then slowly withdrew his left hand to cover up the fact that he had only just barely touched the opponent's shoulder.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I mainly heard that you had an experimental accident a few days ago, and then I was busy dealing with the coalition government affairs in those days. I didn't have time to come and see you until today..."

"Then why don't you come directly to my laboratory?"

Mebius raised his chin and glanced at Mikael a few more times, seeming to feel much more comfortable.

"Ahem! How bad that would be if Klein is here!"

"Stop it!"

Mebius once again slapped away Mikael's extended left hand.

But in the blink of an eye, she regretted it again and took the initiative to hold Mikael. She didn't know if her size affected her IQ. For the first time, she rocked back and forth like a child.

"That was all five days ago. There's no need to worry. You know, I can't die."

She turned her head and looked at the wall on one side, and the curve of the corner of her mouth became wider and wider.

But then she felt the strength in her hand increase, as if Mikael was holding her hand in reverse, and unconsciously increased the strength.

The two of them didn't know when they stopped. It seemed that it wasn't until they were roughly pressed against the wall that Mebius remembered that this section of the road happened to be a blind spot for surveillance. Moreover, the tunnel left from the Poison Chrysalis period was even Outside the headquarters base, except for a few daily maintenance personnel, it is basically impossible for anyone to exist.

Yes, those guarding drones and fire brigade.

Mebius closed his eyes with a little joy, but insisted on a look of "contemplating death" on his face.

So I don’t know if he followed her wishes, but Mikael didn’t do anything inappropriate. He first flattened his right palm, gently pressed it on the top of Mebius’s head, and then gestured backwards to the position of his chest. .

He then sighed and asked in a... half-concerned, half-helpful tone:

"Mebius, you know it yourself, it's been five days... you didn't realize..."

"What did you find?"

Mebius sneered repeatedly, leaving Mikael confused.

He had obviously looked submissive just now, but now he pinched Mikael's wrist and pushed him away.

"Don't you just like this height?"

"Hey! Don't accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air! When did I say..."

"Hmph! Your eyes are clearly shining!"

"Didn't you close your eyes just now?"

The two people took steps again, but this time they changed from side by side to front and back - Mebius walked in front with small steps, and Mikael put his hands in his trouser pockets, walking without matching, but his eyes followed. The tips of her hair were beating together.

"Mebius, are you... growing, no, recovering? Your recovery is not as fast as before."

"..."

"You used to be able to grow up to five days, uh... maybe you became even smaller during this resurrection?"

"Hey! What are you worried about?"

"well……"

Can you not worry?

The so-called "cannot die" is both like a curse and a flag.

After all, how could such a thing be possible?

And wasn’t Mebius also... in the end?

Mikael has every reason to suspect that the so-called infinity is not really infinite, just like the Mebius ring is indeed conceivable in reality, but it cannot really exist.

"Hey! What are you worrying about here all day long? However, based on my understanding of you, you shouldn't come to me just for these, right?"

Mikael made a heavy nasal sound and pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Okay, you noticed it, but it's not a big deal. I just need to borrow Klein from you to participate in a project."

"Um?"

Mebius turned around, faced Mikael, and moved forward backwards.

There was some confusion in her eyes. Mikael and Klein should have no connection, and Klein...

She doesn't think there are any projects that definitely require Klein's participation but don't require her participation.

Could it be...

"Does Mei know about this?"

"Uh...well, of course Mei knows."

Mikael scratched the back of his head out of habit.

Seeing this, Mebius sneered again.

Mikael put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and began to figure out - what method should be used to "cheat" Klein out of Mebius?

Of course, he didn't have any projects that required Klein's assistance. There was only one reason for this - the ninth collapse had ended for seven days.

No one has ever specified how much time should elapse between each collapse. It may be like the second Honkai, which erupted six years apart, or it may be like the seventh and ninth Honkai, which only occurred in a few days.

Mikael has long been used to this. If someone told him that two collapses would break out at almost the same time next time, he would not think it was impossible.

If he remembered correctly, the Tenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Dominance, is also called the Herrscher of Thousands. This is the only Herrscher with three names. Tenth is order, Dominance is power, and Thousands refers to... …quantity.

And Mikael searched his memory, and the only two individuals he could identify were Klein and Ymer.

At the beginning, Mebius was stabbed, and then he was killed by Mebius who was in an unconscious state.

The other mastered a very small part of the Sixth Herrscher's power, and could not be killed dozens of times.

"Just tell me, how long?"

"Well?"

Mebius gritted his teeth impatiently:

"Tell me, how long do you want to borrow Klein?"

"I don't know, maybe a few days, maybe a few years."

"?"

Mebius turned around again, facing away from Mikael, and was silent for a moment.

"Okay, I agree, but you have to promise me that after the matter is over, you will bring her back to me with all her hair and tail!"

I will be very busy during the Chinese New Year, so I may be less than 6,000, so I will try to work hard first.
