The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

“From now on, everyone must maintain structure and discipline, and are not allowed to move without permission, especially from the space I have constructed.

"This is not a joke, nor is it a drill. Most of you will become as fragile as ordinary people after being wrapped by that light curtain, and will die from energy disorder in your body within a few hours. The only one who can take you with you The only one who can move quickly is me who has mastered the power of space."

Standing in the space surrounded by imaginary barriers, with his back to the golden light curtain, Mikael reminded the recruits who had just arrived on the battlefield with a serious expression.

Obviously, not everyone takes Honkai to heart.

Even though Mikael repeatedly emphasized the danger of the light curtain, many people still had confident and disdainful smiles on their faces, as if the collapse was nothing more than that.

Although this kind of self-confidence is a bit ridiculous, it is also an aspect of human nature that will inevitably show up - everyone feels that after the super-changing surgery, they have power far beyond ordinary people, and everyone thinks that they are the next Kevin and the next love. Licia, everyone thinks they can use this power to save the world.

This sense of psychological expansion is something that Mikael hopes to eliminate through a period of training and running-in. He originally hopes that through the power shown by Ellie and him, they can clearly understand that what they have One portion is so insignificant.

Especially in front of the Herrscher, that kind of power is so insignificant.

But now Mikael can finally understand Himihu's mood - self-confidence and pride come from the same root, but they are only a few steps away. Confidence can turn into pride at any time, but pride can also be the self-confidence that maintains morale.

What he just said to attack was enough. If he said anything more, it would really damage his morale.

Moreover, it is no longer necessary.

If you were to make a list of the most difficult things in the world, convince another person that it would definitely be on the list.

Everyone has their own beliefs and beliefs, and it is impossible to change them with powerless words.

It's better to let reality speak for itself.

So Mikael stopped talking and allowed the group of recruits to chatter and discuss.

Their voices are actually very small, but the voices of more than two thousand people gathered together are somewhat disturbing.

Mikael waved his hand and was too lazy to care about these new recruits. Instead, he called several fusion warriors who were already familiar with him, including Yiwen Jielin.

He deliberately took them a little further away to avoid the new recruits, then built another imaginary barrier and said in a low voice:

"My description of this light curtain just now was a bit exaggerated, but...well, in fact, after you fusion warriors enter the barrier surrounded by the light curtain in front of you, maybe a small number of them will die immediately, but more of them will You will only feel that the energy in your body is still flowing, but you cannot use it, or you can only use a small part of it. "

"Then what are you waiting for? Since we may not die, we should rush in now and rescue Dr. Mei."

Yiwen Jielin expressed her position without hesitation.

Kosmo also made some moves, but Destobia suddenly grabbed his hand. He was suddenly frightened, and his words of approval were abruptly suppressed.

"That's not necessary."

Mikael shook his head and said again before Evan Jielin spoke:

"First of all, we have to figure out our purpose - we want to rescue Dr. Mei, and we also want to defeat the Eleventh Herrscher. Which of the two has priority? I think everyone knows it. Fortunately, whether it is to To defeat the Eleventh Herrscher or to rescue Dr. Mei who may still be alive, we all need to solve the problem of the light curtain, so our goals are the same."

"Oh, are you going to break this light barrier? Uh-huh, so, do this? Or...can this really be done? The information on Prometheus that you used the Archon Spear to attack the light barrier has been Uploaded, if you can't do it, then it's a question of whether we can open the gap from the outside. "

After he finished speaking, Ai Li consciously spoke before Evanjielin.

"The first step is to use my own method to try to open a hole in the light curtain, and then fight with the Eleventh Herrscher. During this process, the range of the light curtain will stabilize and no longer expand. Then, select one hundred volunteers from those recruits to enter the barrier and look for Dr. Mei.”

"It's that simple?"

"if not?"

Mikael spread his hands, "However, the method I adopted cannot guarantee that my energy is consumed at the same level as the Herrscher's energy, because of the loss caused by energy conversion, not to mention that the barrier in front of me also inhibits conventional energy to a certain extent. and disruptive effects. I need help from Ellie and everyone, but even so, I can only guarantee that this gap will be opened for about three days."

"To be precise, it's just over sixty-nine hours, which is about three hours less than three days."

No. 17 was quietly finishing off the attack.

"Ahem!"

Mikael coughed twice:

"Therefore, the upper limit of search time is forty hours. If Mei's location is not found within forty hours, or communications cannot prove that Mei is alive, the search must be abandoned immediately, and all personnel must retreat outside the barrier to conduct Do you have any questions about the next combat mission?”

This time, even Yiwen Jielin, who was suspected to be the Tenth Herrscher individual, said nothing.

But after all, some people still have different opinions:

"That...oh!"

Mikael turned his head and saw Kosmo squinting his eyes and pursing his lips, as if the sound just now was not made by him, while Desdobia quietly moved the foot that had stepped on him just now away, but accidentally lost her balance and fell to one side.

Kosmo hurriedly took her arm and straightened her body.

This scene... It was hard not to remind Mikael of... himself and Ellie in the past.

He blinked and turned his head away without caring about the opinion that Kosmo swallowed back into his stomach.

[Why did Desdobia stop me? Do you think that the solution given by Mikael must be correct? Although I believe so, I think I have a better solution. Shouldn't I propose it? Doesn't Mikael miss my solution? 】

However, Kosmo was not willing to do so. Before Mikael told him the next plan, he ignored Destobia's obstruction and once again mustered up the courage to speak:

"I have a question!"

Mikael closed his eyelids slightly and snorted softly:

"Speak."

"Why... I mean, you can let me use Vishnu's power to try to devour that light curtain."

Swallowing the light curtain, this is indeed a good idea, at least it seems so.

But the essence of the world is a kind of transaction. If you want to get something, you must pay a certain price. The light curtain constructed by the Devourer is no longer something that can be done by ordinary fusion warriors.

There is no doubt that Kosmo wants to release that power, the power that Mobius obtained after studying Mikael's overweight super-transformation in the seventh collapse and re-operating on all fusion warriors for the second time-[Artificial collapse]

But...this power has only been slightly released by Kevin when facing the ninth Herrscher, and it was still when Mikael used the power of consciousness to cover it. After falling into the collapse state, can he remain conscious as Mebius promised, and can he return to normal as she promised after the battle... Even Mikael doesn't dare to guarantee it.

Moreover, can Vishnu, who claims to be able to devour everything, even dreams, really devour this light curtain?

Whether he can or not, this is the second question.

The third question is that devouring must touch the light curtain. Compared with the Herrschers who are annihilated directly after entering, most fusion warriors do not just die or faint directly when they touch the light curtain, and it is not even clear whether the damage they suffer is irreversible, but...

Judging from the situation after Theresa unfolded the Divine Grace Barrier... it is definitely not a harmless thing.

And these, Kosmo himself should be very clear about the second point, and Mikael has repeatedly emphasized the other two points before.

But he still did not look back, at least he felt that this was what a [hero] should do - stand up bravely when he is most needed.

Even though…even though fear gradually spread in his consciousness, every cell in his body was emitting the will to “resist”, so that he felt that his brain had a hallucination for a moment——[I don’t want this, why should I stand up at this time! ]

So that the muscles in his stiff neck began to stiffen and numb, and even his entire lower jaw began to tremble.

But he bit his back teeth tightly, he didn’t want Mikael to see his fearful expression.

Mikael bit his lip, chuckled, and turned his playful eyes to the boy again.

His eyes were different now, and when Kosmo first looked at him, he was naturally at a loss, but he quickly calmed down——[Am I talking nonsense again...Okay, Mikael may have thought of this situation, and I should have known not to talk too much...Forget it, anyway, Mikael won’t care about these, but will take the time to explain patiently. I don't know how long Desdobia will laugh at me again...】

And Mikael's eyes soon softened, although it was only for a moment, and he turned his head away again.

To be honest, he once didn't like this autistic boy very much. After all, his cold face and silent appearance were really hard to understand.

And Mikael rarely had the opportunity to see the middle school side that he showed from time to time.

But at that moment just now, Mikael obviously saw something in him.

Is he a hero like Kevin? Or is he gradually overlapping with the original Kosmo in his memory?

No, Mikael did see something in him, but it was not the shadow of anyone, but...

the self that Mikael once wanted to be.

"Good question, but, Kosmo."

"Um... yes!"

"It's not that there is no such possibility in my plan, but that is almost the last resort."

"Ah... oh..."

"But..."

[Can't escape the "but" after all? Sigh...] Kosmo raised his head, still only able to see Mikael's back. "If things really develop to that point, you don't need to release Vishnu's power. After all, you are not the only one who has merged with Vishnu's factor. At least this time..." The following words were so quiet that even he, a fusion warrior, couldn't hear them clearly. Only Ellie, who was closest to him... Or maybe he didn't say anything at all, and Ellie only heard what he was thinking through the intersection of the Herrscher's consciousness: "At least no one will die in front of me."

He shook his head quickly, but even he didn't know why.

The only thing that is certain is——

This is by no means the usual self-denial of the past.

Or, that was indeed some kind of negation, but not for him now.

"Does anyone else have any opinions? If not, let's get started!"

One hundred volunteers were finally selected from the recruits and divided into ten teams.

It was said that it was difficult because most people voluntarily entered the barrier in front of them. As for Mikael's previous warning, he might not have taken it seriously, or it might be considered an exaggeration.

Mikael raised his hands flat in front of him, his palms facing the seemingly sacred but dangerous golden light curtain.

Alicia naturally put her hands on his shoulders, and Su put the other half on his shoulders, and then more people. They held hands, trying to move forward every bit of collapse in the human-like and inhuman body. Passed on until it merged into Mikael's core.

"Hmm... With so much energy connected at once, will the threshold of the core output power be stretched... But it won't work after all. At present, it seems that it can only be expanded through feathering..."

He just learned what Bronya did in Klosten. At present, it seems that it will not be of any help to a Herrscher like him who can almost perfectly synchronize the core after becoming a feather.

"never mind……"

"Mikael, the diameter of the light curtain is about to reach 200 kilometers."

No. 17 reminded from the side.

This was the best time they had agreed to shoot.

After all, the energy of the Herrscher has its own fixed value. Since the barrier continues to expand, the intensity of the barrier itself is actually on a decreasing trend.

"It's now!"

"Moonlight Throne, thirty-six times power array, start constructing -"

In front of him, every six quantum cannons with the Moonlight Throne Engine as the core formed a basic matrix array, and six such arrays merged into one matrix.

They seem ordinary, but they are dozens of times larger than ordinary quantum cannons.

But only Mikael realized its true power.

"Start charging——"

All Moonlight Throne engines lit up blue at the same time.

"Three - two - one -"

"Fire!"

There was no sound of any explosion, only a flash of extremely incandescent light, so that everyone's vision turned dark in an instant.

Then, the golden light curtain shattered with a bang, and a huge gap appeared.

"It's time to enter the barrier, so hurry up!"

Ellie threw her head back and shouted while supporting Mikael.

But Mikael gently pushed her hand away. Even though the blow just now used up all the Honkai energy in his core, it didn't mean that he would be so weak that he needed help to stand up.

He has even absorbed a large amount of energy again from the imaginary side. The engine of the Moonlight Throne has just extinguished, and the blue light has turned on again, and the muzzle has also begun to change its position, trying to continue to expand the gap, forcing the Eleventh Herrscher to fall into a struggle with him. .

But just when the recruits were about to take a step forward and rush into the barrier, a red light followed the trajectory drawn by the energy beam and hit Mikael in the blink of an eye.

The still-warm Sky Fire was not even close to Mikael's toes. His pupils trembled slightly. At that moment, his brain's computing speed was as fast as that of Prometheus, or even faster than that of Prometheus. A little.

Where he couldn't see, the power of space had been traced back to its source, tearing a rift in the barrier. The next moment, Kevin supported Mei with one hand and Qianjie's ankle with the other, and jumped out of the rift in space. come out.

"Kevin, are you okay?"

He was almost so weak that he fell to his knees, and Mei also collapsed instantly, so Su and Ellie helped them up respectively.

As for Thousand Tribulations...

This man, who had always been known for his over-the-top power, had fallen into a deep sleep.

This may be a first experience for him.

Some time passed after that, but no more people came out of the space rift.

Regardless of feeling the level of power he had just lost, Mikael asked:

"Gone?"

"Gone……"

What responded to him was Kevin's deep voice.

The barrier formed by the light curtain not only invalidates Honkai energy, but also disrupts and inhibits the flow of conventional energy. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to survive in the barrier for more than an hour.

It can only be said that Mei is lucky enough.

And in just a few seconds, the broken light curtain was quickly repaired, and it looked the same as before from a distance.

And, as if feeling the power of [Same Source], the light curtain expanded rapidly again.

"whispering sound."

Mikael gritted his teeth. The space where more than two thousand people lived changed instantly, and they were five kilometers away again. However, the Herrscher seemed a bit unyielding this time——

A large number of gears poured out from the light curtain. They were obviously mechanical creations, but they felt like sea water.

Fortunately, these gears only surged out to a range of about three kilometers and stopped moving forward. This seemed to have reached the Herrscher's limit, but soon, the light curtain spread across this line and began to continue to expand.

"Thank you very much..."

It was still spring, but there were fine beads of sweat on Mei's forehead due to metabolic problems caused by energy disorders. She wiped it with her white coat, and her colorful eyes swept lightly, as if she had seen through something without any hesitation. He sighed:

"The tenth Honkai Impact and the eleventh Honkai Impact happened at the same time..."

"Um."

Mikael snorted noncommittally, and then shook his head:

"It doesn't matter, I have already said that I am prepared for the eleventh collapse. Of course, I think..."

He didn't say the last few words, but Mei, who saw Yiwen Jielin, already understood everything.

"You mean, you want to use that?"

"Well, the only thing that can break this barrier now is the Blank Key."

Yiwen Jielin glanced here with her peripheral vision, her thoughts changing rapidly.

"But its completion rate is less than 70%. Velvet and I need a secluded place to conduct the final experiments. The base is now too easy to be penetrated by the Tenth Herrscher."

"Then... let's go there. During this period, I will use the Moonlight Throne to continue to [wrestle] with the Herrscher just like before to keep the barrier from spreading, but I can only maintain it for less than three days... According to the text Jie Lin.”

"exist!"

Mikael turned his head, tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth, and ordered:

"Kevin will take you and some other fusion warriors to perform defense missions with Aldemir. Kevin is temporarily in poor condition, so you will take over the command for the time being. Dr. Mei will explain the specific mission content to you later, understand. ?”

"yes!"

Mei nodded:

"Without further ado, let's go?"

"Um……"

Yiwen Jielin took two steps, suddenly turned around and asked:

"Captain Mikael, if...if Dr. May's experiment fails...The Eleventh Herrscher..."

"rest assured."

Mikael smiled softly:

"I said, I have a way..."

He then lowered his voice, spread his hands, and said nonchalantly:

"Since this is the barrier formed by Herrscher, it must have its output threshold. It is known that its ability is to limit Honkai energy, then... we only need to fill it with fusion warriors until the threshold is broken, isn't it? "
