The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"What is Honkai? This question is a bit broad. In fact, even the Fire Chaser Moth has not been able to provide a [unified] definition of Honkai in words."

Vassago's voice was as hoarse as ever.

"But if you put it this way, doesn't it mean that Honkai Impact is something completely unknown to us humans? Facing the unknown, humans can really..."

The host opposite should add drumsticks. She not only asked questions that everyone was concerned about, but also controlled the rhythm of the conversation step by step. Of course, her sweet voice and smile, which were completely opposite to Vasak, and her snow-white thighs that were deliberately exposed, It also slightly relieved the heaviness of this topic.

"Not understanding does not mean that we are invincible and cannot be exploited. Our ancestors learned to use flames, extinguish flames, and control flames 50,000 years ago. However, the specific scientific principles of flame generation have only been mastered by humans in modern times."

"Oh? What you mean is that Fire Chaser Moth is now confident in defeating Honkai, controlling Honkai, and even taking advantage of Honkai in turn?"

"Control and victory should be put together. As long as we can defeat it, we can control it. As for utilization - in fact, we have started to use Honkai energy as energy very early, and in turn fight against Honkai energy."

Vassago took the trouble to tell every point.

Of course, although he held his chin high, his eyes were always focused on the host's thighs.

As if feeling his fiery gaze, the host's legs that were originally together rubbed together nervously, and then calmly changed his position, crossing his legs up and down, and raising them.

But to say that she is shy is unnecessary.

Mikael rested his head on his hands and looked at the scene in front of him amusedly.

Despite the twitching movements of her lower body, her eyebrows teased the old widower Vasak from time to time...ah...

"So, I think that for Honkai Impact, even if we don't know its principle, as long as we grasp its manifestation - the Herrscher, then the problem will be solved. Although the specific information cannot be made public, our Fire Chaser Moth has now With the ability to easily kill the Herrscher, the Herrscher who was killed previously was codenamed the Ninth Herrscher. As the name suggests, he is already the ninth Herrscher.”

"Really? Is the Fire Chaser so powerful?"

"Of course, when the Fire Chasing Moth was just a small organization under the coalition government, we could solve the collapse nine times, no, it was actually eight times. So now after the coalition government merges with the Fire Chasing Moth, How can the fire-chasing moth be afraid of the Herrscher when he has a strong army?"

Vasak took a puff of his cigar, looking proud. Although in essence, he has been relieved of his position as the leader of the Fire Chasing Moth, on the one hand, it was a false position in the first place, and on the other hand, the term he gave in publicity was "abdication."

It can only be said that there is a big difference between propaganda and reality.

"Is it enough to defeat the Herrscher? Will the Herrscher continue to be born? Will humans continue to fight against the Herrscher?"

"No, I can tell you responsibly that the final battle between mankind and Honkai has entered the countdown - according to various data analysis and calculations, there are thirteen Herrschers in total. If we defeat the thirteenth Herrscher, mankind will also We have been saved, no, evolution. But now, there are only four of us left to face.”

"Ah! That's just like beating monsters in a game! It's not easy for the Fire Chaser Moth to drag mankind to where it is today!"

The host offered compliments at the right time, but she changed her subject and her words became sharp:

"However, in the battle with the Ninth Herrscher, humans lost the entire Mu Continent. This kind of loss..."

She deliberately prolonged the ending, and Vasak did not panic and skillfully used the excuse he had prepared:

"I must make it clear that humans have not lost the Mu Continent, and the humans on the Mu Continent have not died. In fact, we have used new methods and power to allow them to survive..."

Mei Fengfeng opened the door angrily and waved as soon as he entered, causing the program to immediately fall into silent mode.

Mikael glanced at his mouth, then handed her two unfinished transfer orders.

"You want to take Yimer and Klein away?"

The corners of Mei's mouth twitched twice.

"Although I don't care about this, have you obtained Mebius's consent in advance? Also, if Ymer leaves, what will happen to the surveillance of Vasak, Tarot, and other high-level officials of the coalition government? Poison Chrysalis has just been rebuilt, and you want to transfer the person in charge?"

Mikael smiled bitterly and joked:

"I thought you would ask me why I transferred them."

Mei shook her head and said nothing.

Prometheus No. 17 on the side kindly reminded:

"It's not that the doctor doesn't ask questions, it's just that she is more concerned about the 'results' of doing so than the causes."

"I have communicated with Mebius before. As for Ymer, I plan to let Sakura take over the Poison Chrysalis temporarily. In terms of strength, qualifications, and understanding of the operation of the Poison Chrysalis, I think she can do the job. ”

"Um--"

Mei drew a long note and unveiled the highlight:

"So, what are you borrowing them for? How long are you borrowing them for?"

"Da, da, da, da..."

Mikael tapped the table rhythmically with his index finger. Although it was an unconscious move, it was somewhat impolite.

But Mei doesn't care about this. What she wants to solve is a problem that has already existed and she feels that she can no longer ignore it——

"Mikael, do you know something very special? For example, a certain possible future?"

"How did you find out and when did you find out?"

Mikael put the weight of his body on the back of the chair. He did not deny it, or he did not want to deny it, or, as of today, he no longer has the need to deny it.

"Almost the moment I learned that Xi'er became the Sixth Herrscher, I was sure that you must know something - before, you used the excuse of 'finding Xi'er's relatives' to make Xi'er disappear for a while. Over the past year and a half, according to my investigation, Xi'er's relatives are not reliable, and I don't think anyone would give up a [sister] like Xi'er to others.

"What's more, if you really send Xi'er back to her relatives, why would you send her medicine regularly? Those psychotropic drugs are not expensive, and they are not banned."

Mikael spread his hands and motioned for her to speak boldly.

"And a year and a half later, Xi'er returned to everyone's sight again, but as a Herrscher. I even doubted you for this reason... But judging from the current situation, you already knew that Xi'er would become the first Six Herrschers, so I tried to find a way to let her escape this fate, which is more logical. It’s just that I couldn’t put the final puzzle piece together for this hypothesis for a long time-what exactly did you adopt. What method."

"So you have thought about it now?"

"Well, in fact, Kevin and Hua's report had already hidden the answer, but I didn't take it to heart. Until a week ago, you cooperated with the Second God's Key to roll up the Mu Continent into a world bubble, allowing it to be Survival in the Quantum Sea - What you brought Xi'er to is the Quantum Sea!

"There is no connection with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. If you can survive there, you will naturally not have the possibility of becoming a Herrscher. And just before Xi'er appeared again, she was involved in the Quantum Sea in the battle with Vishnu. It cannot be ruled out that Because of this, Xi'er was drawn back to the original world from the quantum sea, which led to tragedy. "

The smile on Mikael's face gradually faded. He still leaned on the chair in a relaxed posture, but crossed his fingers on his crossed legs.

"So, what's your guess? What do you think I can know? Why do you think I know this?"

Mei leaned forward, her hands also crossed and pressed against her lips.

"At the beginning, I was still relatively timid. I just guessed that as a Herrscher, you should be able to detect the Herrscher's fitness, so you judged in advance that Xi'er would become a Herrscher. But a week ago, I rejected this idea - she was also a Herrscher, and she was unprepared for the fact that Ciel would become a Herrscher.

"And coincidentally, during the fifth collapse, you also contacted the qualified candidates of the Herrscher in advance, but you did not know the identity of the other party. Alicia even entrusted Xi'er to her care. These facts have proved , the error of the above assumption.”

Mikael rubbed the stubble on his chin and said with a smile:

"So you naturally came to the conclusion that what is special is not the identity of the Herrscher, but the existence of Mikael, right?"

"Well, after all, if you assume that you know the future under a certain possibility and use it as a basis to reflect on the past, many contradictory actions can be explained - for example, when you were in Luluye, why did you Why did you inexplicably take Kevin out to eat noodles and bring him to the helicopter?”

"Can't I just do it casually?"

"With your character, I don't think you would be so lax when on guard. Even if you went to interrogate a high school student, you would still leave your post without permission. Not to mention, when you enter the combat situation later, as a normal soldier, Shouldn't you let him go directly to the shelter? Even if he calls himself my boyfriend at that time, you shouldn't involve him in the battle-unless you already know his future."

"Well, I really didn't expect that there would be so many flaws along the way."

Mikael spread his hands. Although he did not confirm it clearly, Mei knew that her guess was absolutely correct.

Among the novels Mikael has read, there are of course time-travel novels including those in this world. The role of the so-called time-travelers in revealing their identity to important characters in the world is often an extremely important and exciting point.

But when it was his turn to have the so-called "showdown", it was neither as thrilling nor as tearful as imagined, nor was it so solemn.

He and Mei are like...oh, you can remove the word "like".

They finished talking about such an important issue in the same casual chat as usual, with Mei's confident and careful analysis and Mikael's "Yeah, yeah, yeah" and "Yeah, yeah."

One dares to guess and the other dares to answer.

So the whole process became uneventful and uneventful.

"Okay, I won't ask why. I just want to know: So, Yimer and Klein will be the Tenth Herrscher and the Eleventh Herrscher? So you choose to do what Xi'er did before, Did they take it to the quantum sea?"

Mei secretly thought to herself that although this method is very old-fashioned and..., it is indeed very practical and reliable, as long as there is no battle like Vishnu's that would affect the quantum sea.

However, things are not always as simple as she thought.

Seeing Mikael shaking his head, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and countless possibilities came to mind in an instant.

But just a second later, she would realize that these possibilities of her diverging gaze were not as shocking as what Mikael said next.

"The Tenth Herrscher and the Eleventh Herrscher respectively? No, no, no, how is that possible? They will all become one of the individuals of the Tenth Herrscher."

"One of the individuals?"

Mikael tiptoed the ground, causing the entire chair and his body to lean back.

Mei really wanted to know the future that Mikael saw, but she kept holding back and didn't ask. She had guessed it all, so there was no need for Mikael to hide anything.

"Tenth...boom!"

"Ha ha--"

Prometheus laughed twice mechanically, and the corners of May's mouth couldn't stop twitching. Mikael held one hand on the table and the other on his waist, awkwardly getting up. He turned around, held up the chair, and sat down again. At that time, he only sat on the front third of the body, with his knees together and his hands on his knees, looking like a good baby.

He scratched his head in embarrassment, stretched out his right hand, and constructed a document in his hand.

"I won't say any more, just watch."

Mei flipped through the pages with familiarity——

[The Tenth Herrscher...thousands of people? Did I solve it this way... Eleventh... The tragedy of restraint... Twelfth Herrscher, is Sakura's sister... Thirteenth? Um? Isn’t it the end of Thirteen... Alicia... Faced with Ying Jie’s despair, she took the initiative to reveal her identity as a Herrscher, hoping to unite everyone again by defeating the same enemy. Finally...]

"I see……"

Mei closed the document and thought for a while with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes again, the document had turned into light blue fluorescent light and dispersed.

"So cautious?"

"You can't be careful. Don't talk about other people. If Mebius sees it, maybe... weird things will happen."

"Yes, at least Ling will be dragged by her to do various research... Oh no, Ling, are you also this time..."

"Well, I've already told Sakura and Aponia. Now that Herrscher's appearance is getting shorter and shorter, we should prepare early. Besides, there are more people in the world and it's more lively."

"Um……"

Mei crossed her arms and tapped the back of her left hand with her right index finger. She suddenly turned around and entered a long series of encrypted instructions to Prometheus, and then projected a drawing of a device three-dimensionally.

"Take a look at this thing and see if it can be constructed."

"This is……"

"Judging from Sakura's situation, the Quantum Sea does not 'welcome' everyone. This thing is helpful to help users maintain their own integrity, is more suitable for traveling in the Quantum Sea, and also has communication functions , if it is stable, it can even maintain communication with the intrinsic world."

Before she finished speaking, a small device like a pocket watch appeared in Mikael's hand.

"I think you have misunderstood. I will take them directly to a world bubble without going through the medium in the quantum sea... No, you mean... you want them to take this opportunity to search for Mu Continent. World bubble?"

"It's not that radical. I just want you to test this device."

Mikael understood that this Gnius-like device was just a scout thrown by Mei for the goal of "recovering the Mu Continent".

With her character, there must be a bigger and more exhausting plan behind her.

"Why……"

Mikael sighed, half sincerely, half jokingly:

"You, Mebius, and Velvet are all working so hard, but I have nothing to do. It's okay for the two of them, but if you keep working overtime like this, I'm afraid Kevin will come to trouble me... "

"trouble?"

Mei blinked innocently and asked:

"Why does he want to trouble you?"

"Uh, this..."

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.

Mikael couldn't tell whether Mei was pretending to be confused, but since she acted confused, Mikael couldn't say, "Kevin is lonely alone in his boudoir," right?

"Hahaha--"

Prometheus smiled a little more this time.

"Okay, I understand. I will hand over the work to Prometheus tonight. Well, No. 17, I'm sorry to bother you tonight."

Prometheus No. 17 couldn’t laugh this time.

Of course, this is nothing more than an anthropomorphic emotion that Mikael assigns to her in his own thoughts. Although No. 17 is equipped with a "very mature" human emotion module, Mikael does not believe that programming can replace hormone secretion and evolve natural embarrassment.

So, what sounded was just her cold and mechanical voice:

"Okay, doctor, I will skip the work that cannot be handled and leave you to work overtime tomorrow night."

"puff!"

Mikael bit back a smile and raised his hand to touch No. 17's head. Unfortunately, his hand passed through the projected body and could not touch the entity.

"By the way, on the 17th, help me forward a message to Kevin - ask him to get some tomatoes and eggs from the logistics department. I will cook today's dinner."

"..."

Both Mikael and Prometheus fell silent.

Finally, it was Mikael who hinted with a grin:

"Mei, actually I think... you finally have a good night's rest, or else I'll leave the cooking to Kevin. Although he's not very reliable at cooking other dishes, whether it's instant noodles or noodles, they're pretty good. "No, I should say it's pretty good."

Mei rolled her eyes, and her cheeks turned red visibly.

"Every time we went on a date, he would either bring food from the cafeteria, or he would feed it to me. I always thought that I would cook for him on a date in the future. Of course, I am self-aware of my own level. That’s why I chose the simplest dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”

What a piece of “self-knowledge”!

Mikael really wanted to tell Mei that it was because of her too strong genes that the offspring of her and Kevin...

Completely lost the ability to cook.

If that was all, that would be fine, but there was also a little dwarf who seemed to have lost his sense of taste and was addicted to bitter melon juice.

Kaslana and cooking... how can they be so different.

"Oh, by the way, Mikael, during the Christmas vacation, I asked Sakura to teach me how to make a dish from our hometown, sushi. I will make it tonight while I have time, and you will each have a portion."

"Okay...ok..."

Mikael's face instantly turned green. If it was one portion, Mikael could bear it. But according to conservative calculations, he will probably have to bear Alicia's share and Mebius' share...

How about giving it to Pado and Hua... one of them is not picky about food, and the other is not picky about food either.

At that time, it was said that it was a special feature of the Far East, it was just so... delicious!

"Ahem!"

Mei coughed heavily, and both Michael and Prometheus No. 17 looked serious.

"Okay, I have approved all your transfer orders, and Sakura has been temporarily appointed to be in charge of Poison Chrysalis. And Ling, her work in the nursing home will be temporarily taken over by Pado. So, these are all settled, next... …”

Mikael's problem has been solved, Mei's questions have been satisfied, and the jokes have been finished, then it's time to solve the "business".

"Actually, I already understand half of the questions I want to talk about next from the information you just gave me. But... regarding Alicia, I still have some fundamental questions to discuss with you."

"Well, naturally, what I just showed you are 'results' that are not mixed with my personal speculation and analysis."

Mikael narrowed his eyes and tried to control his facial expression.

"First of all, I want to state that we have complete trust in Alicia. Of course, after seeing the results you gave, this trust has only increased."

Mikael stroked his forehead, stretched out his hand to make himself a glass of ice water, and drank it all in one gulp - after saying so many words, even though he mostly gave some simple responses, his throat was still a bit dry.

Mei turned to look at No. 17. No. 17 tilted his head and brought a glass of ice water with his robotic arm.

Mei touched the wall of the cup with her fingers and felt the temperature in the cup.

She blinked at Prometheus, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

Obviously, Prometheus didn't understand what she meant.

But Mikael understood, and he silently mourned for Kevin for two seconds in his heart - it seemed that even if Mei didn't work overtime tonight, Kevin wouldn't be able to get her.

On the 17th, I connected to the Internet and searched for topics about "women and ice water" and finally understood the problem.

"I'm sorry, doctor, I was negligent. I'll ask the logistics department to prepare brown sugar water."

"...Don't bother me, Prometheus."

Mikael took the glass of water, and white steam appeared in the glass in an instant.

"Thanks."

"It's okay, thanks to Kevin in the summer."

"Well, back to that topic."

Mikael narrowed his eyes, "You want to ask, why Alicia doesn't have a [core]? What is her power?"

"No, what I want to ask is, what else are you hiding about Alicia's ending?"

"!"

Mikael's hands on his knees quickly clenched.

"Well, you asked for it, May—the fate that Aponia always talks about is real."
