The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

Chapter 281 Everything... is over

There was no sound in his ears anymore. Whether it was the noise in his heart or the external turmoil, it was all burned up in the flames.

A blazing heat rose behind her, as if something broke through her body and fluttered its wings toward the vast sky.

When the sea surface was flapped by the wings condensed by the flames, waves stretching for thousands of miles were rolled up. A firebird took flight and quickly disappeared among the vast sea of ​​clouds overhead.

"what is that?"

The girl who could no longer remember her name looked up at the black-purple sky. She felt that a part of herself escaped into the air with the fiery red light and disappeared.

She just looked up in a daze. It seemed like a long time had passed, and it seemed like time had not flowed at all. A tiny spark suddenly appeared in her sight - something was back, she realized.

The small spark quickly turned into a ball of flame, which fell rapidly, like a hunting goshawk flying towards its prey.

The moment the ball of fire tore apart the black-purple energy band spiraling above her head, the huge firebird was finally unable to cover up its figure.

It burned everything that polluted the sky, so the entire sky turned fiery red, and even it itself looked like bright red clouds.

Its wings stretched out to both sides, and the flame flow, with the bird's head as the apex, spread out toward the wings on both sides, so it didn't look like a bird, but more like a sharp sword falling from the sky.

But what exactly is that?

The girl stared at the sky blankly. She realized that this should be an attack, but she had no idea who made the attack, why the attack was made, and who the target was.

She didn't even notice that she was holding a taller woman in her arms. Fortunately, the other woman was also staring blankly at the sky.

In the dead silence, the firebird silently passed through the monster in front of the girl, cutting it into two parts, including the entire island and the sea surface with a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

White steam filled the entire world in an instant. The girl stood in the hot water vapor, still not thinking of any of the past.

Suddenly, raindrops fell from above, carrying a fishy smell like rust.

"Blood?"

The girl finally noticed something that she could still recognize. Yes, what was falling in the sky was not rain, but blood after the Herrscher's body exploded.

But there were also some gem-like things that also fell together in the rain, clinking and rolling down at the girl's feet.

"What is this again?"

She tilted her head and stared at the gem at her feet. She didn't know whether it was like this, or it reflected the color of the blood, so that it showed a dim red light.

But she looked at the long sword in her hand. There was also a gem on the sword's grid, which was also dark red.

She checked her empty memory and couldn't remember any interaction between herself and this gem, but why did her eyes immediately become hazy the moment she caught sight of it?

Why is there ice-cold liquid slipping from the corner of my eye?

She once again searched her empty memory, only to get an abstract answer——

Tears, that is a symbol of sadness.

However, what kind of emotion is the so-called sadness?

Before she had time to think carefully, she took a step forward in confusion, suddenly staggered, and fell to one knee with her sword in hand.

"Uh! Ahhh!"

Her body suddenly fell into a state of two-pole tension. On one side, there was the sleepiness that came silently, and on the other side, there was a more bewitching sound ringing in her ears:

"Kill Honkai...Kill Honkai..."

【Collapse】? What is that?

She looked at the blood and gems on the ground, it was Honkai; she looked at the sword in her hand, it was Honkai; she looked at the woman supporting each other, it was not Honkai; she looked again My own pair of unfamiliar hands, this is collapse.

"Uh-huh-uh-kill..."

Her howl stopped suddenly, as if someone had removed the fuse at the moment when a bomb was about to explode. Her eye color and hair color instantly returned to normal, and the mark that climbed from her neck to the left side of her face disappeared, causing All of these people may not be "human". He was facing the girl, holding her shoulders with one hand, and gently tapping her eyebrows with his index finger.

"Mikael?"

Before the girl's consciousness fell into darkness, she seemed to hear the woman next to her shout such a name.

"I'm sorry, Captain, but to be precise, I'm not him. I'm just a part of his consciousness transformed into a posture through the key of the Eighth God."

He handed the unconscious Hua into Himihu's hands and whispered:

"Okay, the last energy of the Eighth God's Key has been exhausted, and my mission has been completed. Next, Hua will ask you, Captain, to take care of it."

Seemingly aware of her worries, Mikael added:

"Don't worry, the position and strength of the attack just now were very good. Although it split the entire island into two, it did not damage Zhizhi, Mei and Weiwei."

"but……"

Himihu still had doubts, but perhaps it was as Mikael said, the energy of the God Key was exhausted, and his divided consciousness and the transformed entity disappeared together.

So she could only turn her gentle eyes to the girl in her arms again, caressed her cold face, and said softly:

"Get some sleep, it's over."

…………

"Click-click-click-click-click"

Every time Kevin takes a step on the ice, the soles of his spiked boots will leave a crisp and heavy echo.

But he still walked towards [him] without hesitation toward the group of ice sculptures in front of him.

That's right, everything from the Zhuhuo No. 3, which is hundreds of meters long, to the single-seat combat airship he drove himself, have now become crystal clear ice sculptures on the sea.

The howling sea breeze carried ice crystals and brushed against the side of his face. The temperature was so low that even he shuddered.

If you look upward and look at it from a satellite's perspective, you will find that the small half of the North Pacific from the extreme east coastline to the east is now completely frozen.

This is not the power of the Parfanti factor in Kevin's body, although... he may be able to do the same, although he will definitely be able to do it in the future, but the current ice field is indeed more than the power of the Parfanti factor.

Rather - the key to the fifth god, the key to stagnation, the hibernation of all things.

All things are dormant... Just from the perspective of words, this name cannot be called Ling Lie, and it even has a sense of beauty that is completely silent.

However, the naming of the God Key has always been arbitrary. The name is not dangerous, but the actual ability is weird and difficult to prevent. There is no precedent - Black Abyss White Flower.

When Kevin thinks of Black Abyss and White Flowers, it's hard not to think of his comrades.

When he saw what Mikael had to face during the sixth collapse, he couldn't stop thinking in his mind - maybe one day, I will have to face such a choice.

This kind of extremely accurate intuition is really hard not to be disgusted by...

Because half of the core of the Heavenly Fire Saint was missing, the beating of the flame was a little sluggish, and it seemed that it might be extinguished by the cold wave caused by the fifth god's key at any time, but Kevin didn't seem to care, and he changed to a more comfortable position. , lightly smashed the sword onto the ice, and what was left along with the harsh sound of "hiss, hiss" were long, straight scratches on the ice.

The scratch stopped abruptly when it stretched to a certain point. Kevin turned the sword and placed the sword, which was emitting residual heat, on the shoulder of the only life other than him on the entire ice sheet.

"Kevin..."

The man's whole body was imprisoned by ice from the neck down, but he could vaguely see the red T-shirt he wore every time. He kept gasping, but he was still chanting Kevin's name.

The hostility in Kevin's eyes loosened slightly. He knew, he knew very well, even though the man in front of him wore the same windshield and the same red T-shirt, calling his name exactly as usual.

But after all, he is not him, but an individual of the Herrscher, the tenth Herrscher individual numbered L10-004.

And what he looks like now is just an attempt to disturb Kevin's mind before he died.

But what you know is what you know, and what you know is clear. Who can truly have no fluctuations in their heart?

Mikael couldn't do it back then, and he can't do it now either.

Maybe it will be possible in the future, but now, the big sword has been on Aldemir's shoulder for a long time, and in the end it still didn't make any movement.

Suddenly, Aldemir's voice began to change. He no longer murmured Kevin's name, but after a burst of suppressed and crazy laughter, he looked past Kevin's figure and looked in a farther direction.

"Hahahaha! Kevin, it's all over."

"Yeah, it's all over."

Kevin thought to himself.

Herrscher's perverse attitude completely cut off the impression of Aldemir in Kevin's mind, so he was able to tightly hold the hilt of Skyfire's sword. At this time, as long as he exerted a slight force to the side, he could cut off his head. .

The Lawyer was not aware of this, or in other words, he no longer cared about it.

"What? Aren't you curious about what is happening on P-21 now?"

Kevin didn't speak, just looked at him with an attitude of extreme pity.

"oh oh!"

His body was frozen, and even as an individual Herrscher, it was a bit difficult for Aldemir to speak, but this did not affect his ability to speak continuously.

"Perhaps I didn't hint clearly enough - Kevin, haven't you noticed that everything we have done is actually an attempt to divert the tiger away from the mountain in human warfare? Hahaha..."

In Kevin's calm and pity-filled eyes, Aldemir finally realized something was wrong, and his smile became drier and dryer until it stopped.

"You also said that this is a skill in our human art of war, so why do you think that we humans understand it less than you Herrschers?"

Before Kevin could finish his words, the expression on Aldemir's face instantly changed from hesitant to horrified, as if he had witnessed with his own eyes the great change of falling short of success.

Kevin snorted slightly when he saw this.

He even knew more about the inside story of this operation than Mei, and therefore, he felt more at ease about the battle on P-21 Island.

He was only worried about one thing, and that was whether May would wear the Blank Key, and Mikael's changed plan obviously dispelled his last doubt.

A sound like thunder sounded behind his head, and then the strong wind and waves surged together. Even after crossing a distance of thousands of kilometers, the remaining force still smashed the seemingly unbreakable ice sheet into pieces.

"How is it possible! How is it possible! How is it possible!"

Mei and Velvet once hypothesized that individuals of the Tenth Herrscher would communicate instantly through the special quantum entanglement phenomenon between their cores. Now, Aldemir uses this quantum entanglement to continuously send messages to his companions. Not surprisingly, he didn't get any response.

In other words, he has become the last surviving Tenth Herrscher individual.

Kevin turned sideways and glanced in the direction of P-21.

"plum……"

So, he no longer hesitated, and with slight force on his wrist, the sword deflected and cut Aldemir's carotid artery.

Then, he stretched out his cold hand, covered the other person's eyes, and gently closed his eyes that were staring at death. The next moment, the body of the last Herrscher individual was easily shattered into pieces of different sizes. Only the core remains intact.

"Ah……"

Kevin smiled half self-deprecatingly, half helplessly.

"it's over."

The ice sheet began to melt, and Kevin put his hand into the biting seawater, as if he wanted to wash away the blood of his friend that did not exist on his hand.

His eyes quickly turned red, and he wished he could peel off all his skin, as if that was the only way to stop the blood remaining on his body.

"It's over...but...it's not over yet."

…………

It is called Bohemia, but there is no emerald green in the wasteland. Logically speaking, due to the influence of jet lag, it should be dark here.

But because of the existence of the golden light curtain and the light of the Moonlight Throne engine, the place was actually as bright as day.

Mikael closed his eyes tightly. It happened to be the 500th bombardment he had controlled the Moonlight Throne cannon group, but he didn't seem to want to check the results of the bombardment. In other words, he didn't need to open his eyes to feel it. to the result.

For four whole hours, a full blow had to be struck every less than half a minute, with no chance to breathe. Just thinking about such an intense battle makes people feel... liver pain.

The fusion warriors behind him had already rotated through countless batches, but Ellie was the only one who always stood by his side. Of course, it would be more appropriate to say standing together than to cling to each other in a state of exhaustion.

After all, in such an intense battle, simply obtaining energy from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers can no longer keep up with the pace——

Although it seems that they have reached a stalemate with the Eleventh Herrscher, the restraint barrier itself has a suppressive effect on energy, but it is particularly prominent for Honkai Impact. In this way, the energy consumption paid by the Eleventh Herrscher in each confrontation is actually much lower than that of Mikael, so the excess can only be made up by other fusion warriors.

Moreover, the original model established by No. 17 only considered energy consumption and did not take into account physical and mental fatigue. From this point of view, the so-called stalemate for 69 hours is absolutely impossible. Nine hours is enough, but …

"call……"

For the first time in four hours, Mikael opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

Most of the others didn't notice this, and of course, even if they did, they probably didn't know the meaning behind it.

Only Alicia understood that the shallow exhalation sound was a kind of stability after a stone fell to the ground.

"it's over."

Mikael said in a voice that only Ellie could hear.

That word definitely meant "end", but to Ellie, it sounded more like a clarion call for a decisive battle.

"You...really want to do that?"

Mikael said nothing, just nodded slightly.

"Then... you won't..., right?"

"Um."

Then the engine sound of the Moonlight Throne that had been noisy for several hours above everyone suddenly disappeared, and the sky became slightly darker.

How could such a significant change escape everyone's attention?

Everyone looked at Mikael's back in astonishment. In front of him, the light curtain that had been keeping a distance of five kilometers from everyone began to expand rapidly after losing the pressure of the Moonlight Throne cannon group. They watched in a few seconds. It can span this distance, which is neither long nor short, and wrap everyone into the barrier.

Cosmo's brain exploded with a "bang". He had overheard the conversation between Mikael and May. Based on his understanding of Mikael, although he had doubts in his heart, he still stubbornly said the sentence that "brings everything together". If the fusion warrior filled in the barrier, it would be a joke.

But is it true that Mikael is... coming?

But before he took a step forward to question, and before Destobia grabbed him in panic, Mikael suddenly stretched out his hand to Ellie and handed a blue gem to her.

"This is the second time."

"It wasn't that good last time."

"Well, but this time, I just need you to keep it for me for a while."

No one understood what they were saying.

After all, the record of the entire Seventh Collapse is a taboo among taboos in Fire Chaser. Of course, even those who have experienced it personally may not know that Mikael once abandoned and abandoned his core. .

However, this time it was different.

This is not abandonment, just safekeeping.

Mikael didn't know the specific principles of the restraint barrier, and it was impossible to "experience" this power personally like he did when fighting the Eighth Herrscher. All his information came from inferences in his memory.

First of all, it is certain that this power will cause great harm to the Herrscher and the Fusion Warriors. As for whether this damage is reversible? He didn't dare to say so.

But considering the importance of power, especially the importance of his special power in a plan in the near future, Mikael still took a safer way - temporarily separating his core, which means that he will no longer master the power of the Herrscher in the next period of time, but will face the constraints by himself.

And he himself also has such energy.

Ellie didn't say much, and clenched the core in her hand.

"You must come back."

Without waiting for Mikael to answer, she immediately ordered loudly:

"Everyone retreat!"

Hearing this order, most of the fusion warriors didn't care about their weak legs and feet, and ran back in various ways.

As for those who didn't want to retreat so cowardly, they also tacitly executed the order.

Only Kosmo stared at Mikael's back in a daze, until he was led away from the battlefield by Destobia and Ellie.

"Swish!"

Mikael inserted the black abyss white flower deeply into the ground in front of him. With his current strength, he rarely needs to use the Key of God in battle. Even if he needs to use it, he can reproduce it himself.

But the Black Abyss White Flower was her relic after all. Mei had never asked Mikael for it, and Mikael had never thought of handing it over.

But at this moment, it was indeed a necessity.

"Hmph..."

The golden light curtain was about to surge in front of Mikael. With a light hum, Mikael felt a slight tingling and absorption in the palm of his hand holding the gun, and then in silence, he saw white flowers blooming.

Moreover, if you don't limit your vision to the present, you can see clearly that the sea of ​​flowers is not limited to one side of the barrier, but surrounds the barrier with a diameter of 200 kilometers, blooming in a circle!

Then, the green vines broke out of the ground, with vibrant colors, and instantly covered the entire light curtain.

But unfortunately, it seemed to be useless.

Releasing all the collapse energy in the Black Abyss White Flower only bought Mikael a moment of time.

But... a fleeting moment can often happen a lot of things.

For example, close your eyes and fold your hands to cover the red mark on your chest.

"Xi'er..."

He called the name softly. They agreed that even if they were far apart, the call of the stigmata would definitely connect them.

So, an impatient voice crossed a distance that was perhaps even farther than the definition of time itself and sounded in Mikael's heart:

"Tsk! What a trouble!"

"Sorry, Xi'er, this time, I'm afraid I really need your full help."

"Hmm? Are you serious? Okay, okay, it's up to you anyway..."

"Xi'er?"

"Stop talking! Just don't die!"

The stigmata suddenly lit up with a blood-red light, and then became scorching, as if to imprint the mark forever on Mikael's palm through a piece of clothing.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-"

Mikael could clearly hear his own heartbeat, and he could feel the bright red blood in his body, which was no different from that of humans, constantly rotating through such a fist-sized organ.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom--"

The heart beat faster and faster, and the red blood seemed to be mixed with some impurities. They were like black mud, sticky and cold, completely different from blood. Just like the spread of a virus, in a blink of an eye, the old will flow into the veins along every blood vessel, and finally wrap the whole heart in black.

So, that was no longer a heart that a person could have.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The beating of the heart became one, almost breaking through the chest and jumping out by itself.

The blue light rose from Mikael's body like a flame, and the broken hair on his forehead fluttered. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the originally silver-gray eyes emitted a faint blue light.

Of course, if you observe carefully, you will find that his pupils are no longer round like humans, but vertical like those of wild animals. That's right, the holy scar records all the stories, including the whole story of the girl named Xi'er, and naturally the whole story of the man-made collapse of the story, so the climax of that story is naturally not excluded, although before that, there was no super-mutation factor in Mikael's new body. "Moo——————" Many retreating fusion warriors heard the whistle and had to stop and cover their ears to avoid shattering their eardrums. When they turned around, they saw the back of a monster that was thousands of meters tall. "Humph! It's so ugly!" Countless blood-red chains shot out from the monster's chest, fixing the shape of the entire restraint barrier. Mikael raised his hands to support the light curtain. With just this one action, he set off a violent strong wind at low altitude, sending out a shriek that tore the sky. Whether it was the vines of the Black Abyss White Flower, Xier's chains, or Mikael's body, after touching the light curtain, dark smoke rose up, and the power also disappeared.

Mikael did not waste time, his neck stretched forward, bit the light curtain, and then tore it back.

"Crunch-Crunch-Crunch-"

It was obviously an invisible light curtain, but it still made a real chewing sound, as if chewing nine-turn large intestine.

But no one thought this scene was very appetizing, instead, many people had begun to pinch their throats and retch.

Nausea is only one aspect. Similarly, in this dark night, on this land full of white flowers, the chewing sound of a thousand-meter-high monster is also particularly frightening.

The chewing sound lasted for a full hour. Under Vishnu's endless devouring, the barrier of the Eleventh Herrscher was finally broken.

The moment the light curtain shattered, the light in Mikael's eyes gradually extinguished, and his head and hands drooped. Only his bulging abdomen due to excessive devouring was particularly conspicuous.

At the same time, a pink light flew past his side, spanning a distance of hundreds of kilometers, and accurately killed the Herrscher.

Putting down the flying flowers, Ellie ran towards the inhuman body without hesitation, but before she could get close, under the guidance of the black abyss white flowers, green vines climbed all over Mikael's body, and then twisted hard.

Dark blood gushes out from the gaps in the vines. Under the influence of the power of death, the huge body shrinks sharply like a burst balloon, and finally decomposes quickly and turns into fly ash.

"No...it's...right?"

Only these three words remained in Ellie's mind.

She couldn't help but tighten the core in her hand, but found that her palm was empty.

"Hey, why are you so stunned?"

Mikael poked her cheek from the side.

Ellie turned her head blankly, her eyes like glass covered with fog in the cold winter, staring blankly at the brand new Mikael in front of her, and then pursed her lips.

"You bastard Mikael, you scared me again!"

Although he knew that Mikael would not die so hastily, in a world like this, who could tell when he would die?

She was really panicking just now.

"Are you stupid? I have reshaped my body so many times and you are still not used to it? Besides, besides me, who else can control the Black Abyss White Flower?"

Mikael explained with a smile, but Ellie jumped straight into his arms, and then bit him hard on the shoulder through his clothes.

"Idiot Mikael! Who could have thought so much..."

Mikael's lips worked hard, but in the end he did not express his feelings in pale words.

There is a person who worries about himself regardless of anything and never thinks logically...

"Ellie..."

……very nice.

Night once again enveloped the wasteland. Mikael stood in front of everyone, hugged Ellie tightly, and then kissed her pointed ear gently.

As a result, the temperature of the ear gradually increased. Even in the darkness, it was not difficult to imagine the crimson color.

"Alicia."

He rarely called her by her full name.

"Um……"

"it's over."

"Um?"

Her body gradually softened, and finally she buried her warm head into Mikael's still cold chest.

"It's all over... everything will be over soon."
