The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Haha, Mr. Vassago is also a frequent visitor to our place. This is Dr. Mebius's first time here. It seems that since the establishment of Fire Chaser, you have almost never appeared in public, right? "

"Huh? The last time I appeared in public was probably at the Mu Continent Academic Seminar six years ago. The work of Fire Chaser Moth is very busy. I have to stay in the laboratory from morning to night almost every day. In the past few years, almost No rest."

Mebius has a generous and graceful smile. She was already familiar with this almost routine interview process when she first became famous.

Although you always think that Mebius is unreliable, judging from his current performance, this may just be his prejudice against Mebius.

"Mu Dalu's academic seminar? It is said that it was at that meeting that you met Dr. Mei and then introduced her to the Fire Chaser Moth, right?"

The sweet-looking host chased Mebius to get to the bottom of things, completely ignoring Vasak who was left out in the cold.

After all, everyone now knows that Vassago is just a mascot in Fire Chasing Moth. Even many people who have joined Fire Chasing Moth in recent years only know Mebius and have never heard of Vassago. name.

Whether it was in terms of actual power or fame, he didn't have to compete with Mebius to be instantly killed by Mebius next to him.

Besides, as someone who is interviewed on TV every two days, in the past few months, the host sitting next to him has almost squeezed him dry...

After draining everything he knew about the Fire Chaser, there would be no more valuable information to be squeezed out. The host himself as the interviewer was very clear about this, so there was nothing more to do with Vasak. Contact is necessary.

"Mei, she was still a female high school student at that time. She successfully attracted my attention because of a paper she published on the theory of relativity. Later, when I communicated with her, I found that her academic level was not inferior to I just want her to join the Fire Chasing Moth."

"There are other stories like this...but Dr. Mei's father is a famous scientist, and Dr. Mebius's mother is also a famous scientist. You two are really destined."

Mebius didn't bother to respond to this meaningless exclamation, and simply responded with an awkward yet polite smile.

However, the host seemed to have no end at all. She changed her tone and the questions suddenly veered in a weird direction:

"Speaking of which, Dr. Mebius, you should have...how do you maintain your body to look so young this year?"

Of course, Mebius's problem is not just as simple as being young.

"Also, I remember that many years ago, the height displayed under your search engine entry was one hundred and seventy-three centimeters, and you are now..."

The host glanced at Mebius's toes, which were hanging to the ground, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

If the Fire Chaser hadn't sworn that this was Mebius herself, and took out a photo of her when she was a teenager as verification...

I'm afraid it's hard for anyone not to think that the green girl in front of them is not Mebius's daughter.

"Ah……"

Mebius sneered and said bluntly:

"These are all side effects of surgery. Yes, it's the fusion warrior surgery."

"Doctor...if rejuvenation is also a side effect, then many people must be vying to become fusion warriors, right?"

"How can there be such a good thing! The operation of the fusion warrior itself is accompanied by extremely uncertain risks, and the side effects are also strange. I was just lucky enough to get such side effects, which can't be said to be good or bad."

Speaking of this, Mebius suddenly thought of a certain woman who had not suffered any "side effects" at all, and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

"A huge risk? By the way, doctor, there are recent rumors that the success rate of fusion warrior surgery is extremely close to zero percent."

"Of course it's impossible. First of all, what is the so-called infinitely close to zero percent? Is it 0.00%? Or 0.00%? With such a success rate, unless there is an unavoidable situation, In an emergency, it is impossible for the headquarters to approve the implementation of such a plan.”

Well... of course this is theoretically the case, but if Mebius remembers correctly, when Mei sent Kevin to the operating table, the success rate calculated by the model was less than eight percent.

When she performed surgery on herself in Canghai City, she also faced a single-digit success rate.

But the success rate is at least single digits. If the success rate is really close to zero, then unless it is a life-and-death situation where there is no hope without super-changing surgery, Mebius does not think this plan will be approved. The possibility, and I don’t know how stupid people would be to believe such rumors.

"But I heard that just that... uh, the fusion experiment of the Honkaiju called Vishnu caused the casualties of nearly 10,000 experimenters."

The host still had a smile on his face, but it was obvious that there was no kindness in that smile.

"Oh? Where does this data come from?"

It would be a lie to say that he was not panicked, but before coming, Mei swore to Mebius that more secrets about the Fire Chaser Moth had not been leaked, at least they had not been taken away by Herrscher copies. In an unfavorable situation, you only need to bite the opponent without evidence.

"Ahem! It's just a way of saying it."

Sure enough, the host laughed dryly and did not delve deeper into the matter.

Mebius secretly breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he had been prepared for it, this kind of intrigue without the smoke of gunfire would never make people feel relaxed.

But what she didn't expect was that the host's next question would suddenly push the atmosphere to an extremely sharp point -

"So... are fusion warriors still considered human beings?"

"Of course we're human."

Mei spread her hands. There was nothing to hesitate about. No matter what others thought, no matter what the other fusion warriors thought, in Mebius's mind, fusion warriors were human beings.

"However, I heard that many fusion warriors have grown horns or a second pair of ears. Their body structures must be completely different from humans, right? If their body structures are different, can they still be called humans? ?”

"Why not?"

Mei shook her head disdainfully. She had thought about similar questions many years ago, so she felt no pressure to answer:

"The relationship between ordinary people and fusion warriors is an evolutionary relationship, not two unrelated parallel lines. Super mutation surgery only replaces the genes of ordinary people, removes some inappropriate ones, and adds the needed ones. Honkaimon genes.

"Does this description sound familiar? Yes, assuming that an ordinary person is a ship, collapse is an ocean, and if the ship is soaked in the ocean, parts will inevitably be damaged. At this time, we replace the parts to make it look brand new. More suitable for survival in the ocean.

"Perhaps we can give completely opposite answers from different angles to the question of whether the ship after replacing parts is still the same ship as before, but one thing is without doubt - we cannot say that the ship after replacing parts is still the same ship. A boat without parts is no longer a boat, right?”

"Hmm...Dr. Mebius, is this what you call...replacement?"

The host smiled apologetically, turned around and pointed at the big screen.

"I'm sorry, doctor, let's take a look at some photos, shall we?"

Although he didn't know what photos she was going to post, Mebius knew that the situation was not good, but it was in full view of the public and he couldn't think of a way to stop the host.

A picture that was all too familiar to Mebius soon appeared on the big screen. In the center of the picture stood a huge creature, and the cable equipment around it was pulling pieces of well-fitting armor plates towards it.

The scene was shot far away from the behemoth, probably near a shelter in the underground city, but even so, the barely humanoid monster still ran through the entire shot.

With its back to the bright morning sunlight, it looked like just a black shadow, but there was a little bit of blood red in the black.

"Dr. Mebius, are you sure this is still a human being?"

"whispering sound!"

The corners of Mebius' mouth twitched - this is what Mei said, no more information was leaked?

Well, considering the shooting location, it might have been taken by family members living in the underground city, but that is indeed not the information in Fire Chaser Moth.

But the host's aggressive attitude instantly ignited Mebius's anger.

She sneered twice, narrowed her eyes and looked at the young female host, and asked through gritted teeth:

"Then tell me how it doesn't look like a human being at all!!!"

The female host was stared at by Mebius's snake eyes, which made her scalp numb. There was an invisible energy in her mind that kept hitting the top of her head. But when she thought of the various conditions promised by the director, she gritted her teeth and continued to reply:

"This... obviously doesn't look like anything..."

"I--"

Just as Mebius spoke, his foot was kicked. The elderly Vasak was often in an unclear state of mind, but at this moment his eyes were clear. While signaling Mebius not to speak, he quickly glanced at the thigh of the female supporter, and finally said lightly:

"This...how do I put it? To determine whether a person is a 'human being', we cannot look at it from the traditional narrow bloodline perspective.

"You see, in the earliest times, we humans lived as tribes. What maintained us was not interests, beliefs, or anything else, but blood.

“But soon, this blood distinction was broken through, and humans began to have the concept of a country.

"To make an analogy to this matter, we original ordinary humans have an inherent concept of blood, but fusion warriors have broken through this concept of blood and become human beings in another sense.

"They may be slightly different from ordinary people in appearance, appearance or other aspects, but this is a development and an evolution of human beings, because before they became fusion warriors, they themselves were human beings. Even if they are the same as current human beings, They are different, so they should be described as 'new humans'. Besides...

"Some 'ordinary people' who have done things that harm humanity can still be considered human beings. So why are the fusion warriors who have been fighting to protect humanity not considered human beings?"

"Uh-huh."

The host seemed to be very respectful to Vasak, nodded vigorously, and then changed the subject:

"But, Mr. Vassago, Dr. Mebius, are you really sure that the thing in this photo is human?"

"That's not a thing!"

Mebius' low roar scared the host and shrank back on the sofa. Vasak quickly waved his hand and got between the two women to smooth things over:

"Oh! Don't be like this, everyone! Be nice! Be nice!"

Seeing that Mebius was about to take action, the director and staff in the audience showed no intention of standing up to dissuade him. The director even gave a gesture to the host, telling her to increase her intensity.

"No, no, no, Dr. Mebius, I think you misunderstood me."

"Hmph! I don't think there is any misunderstanding. He is a person, not an object!"

The host laughed twice, and she didn't know why Mebius had such a big reaction. In fact, she had only a partial understanding of the overall situation and could only proceed step by step according to the director's arrangements.

"I mean, Dr. Mebius, it would make sense to say that the fusion warrior was a human before becoming a fusion warrior and became a 'new human' after becoming a fusion warrior. But... are you really sure that in the photo? Is this a fusion warrior or a human being?"

Before Mebius could respond, the director had switched the photos on the big screen behind the people to a video:

It started with a familiar black screen, and then a line of large white words popped up:

"who is he?"

At the beginning of the scene, Mikael stood in front of the steps of the tower, using the power of death to summon a large number of green vines. Mebius didn't even need to look at it, and he could directly guess what would happen next.

And it didn't disappoint:

“Mikael was born in Vostok city and grew up in Vostok-51 Orphanage. He disappeared on the day of the first Honkai outbreak.

"Six years later, he was specially recruited into the Fire Chaser with his Honkai adaptability and physical fitness that far exceeded Superman. In the second Honkai Impact that came soon, the fifth team he was in was almost completely wiped out. , the only three remaining people defeated the Second Herrscher without any video evidence.

"In the third Honkai Impact half a year later, he exposed his special identity and had to escape from the Fire Chaser Moth. It was not until the fifth Honkai Impact that the Fire Chaser Moth reorganized and he was able to return.

"To sum up, it can be seen that wherever there is a Lawyer, this person is indispensable.

"So, what is the special identity he revealed in the third collapse?"

The subtitles finished scrolling, and one photo after another flashed on the big screen, all of which were scenes of Mikael using his power.

"This person who seems to have never missed every battle against the Herrscher is the Herrscher himself!"

The director deliberately pressed the pause button on the video at this time, seemingly leaving time for Mebius and Vasak to defend themselves.

Mebius didn't bother to say anything at all, while Vasak looked embarrassed, and finally decided to do his best to protect everything:

"What about the Herrscher? The Fusion Warrior was a human before becoming a Fusion Warrior, and the Herrscher was not a human before becoming a Herrscher?

"Besides, we shouldn't just see the 'Herrscher'. The Herrscher is just an identity, a name for the holder of the ability, and it does not determine his attitude.

"As for his own attitude towards civilization, from the fact that he was at the forefront of almost every collapse, and was seriously injured or even near death... I think his attitude is already very clear, and there is no need to elaborate further."

The host blinked and looked at the director in the audience as if asking for help. The latter was also unambiguous. Vasak's explanation seemed to play into his hands. He didn't say anything, but silently pressed the play button. The image on the big screen behind the person moved again.

"You said he is on the side of humanity, is that really the case?

"If he is on the side of humanity, then how did the tragedy in Third New Paradise City happen not long ago?"

Vassago really doesn’t know what happened in Third New Paradise City, and it’s hard to comment.

Mebius sneered the whole time, not even bothering to defend himself.

After all, the best way to fight back is to find out the complete route and then show it to everyone, but now the original video cannot be found at all.

"But this is not the first time he has attacked humans——"

The photo once again returns to the behemoth taken in the underground city.

"This is the headquarters of Fire Chaser. Regarding the identity of the Seventh Herrscher, Fire Chaser has always kept secret. However, in the two years between the end of the Sixth Collapse and the occurrence of the Eighth Collapse, the only time humanity suffered a major The loss is this time in the underground city.

"And who could be the mastermind behind this casualty besides the monster that is over a thousand meters high in front of us?"

The image started to zoom in, the pixels shouldn't be too high, but it seemed to have been restored so that the face of the behemoth could be clearly seen.

Although it was a bit ferocious, and although it was difficult to see clearly with the sunlight behind his back, there was no doubt that those were Mikael's facial features.

"enough!"

Mebius stood up angrily. Of course she knew that everything she did now and everything that happened here would be broadcast live, but she simply couldn't bear it anymore.

"You don't understand him at all, and you don't know what he paid for!"

She turned around to leave, but suddenly she felt an inexplicable weight in the air.

"not good!"

She turned her head and saw purple Honkai energy pouring out from the screen and the camera. The director, the staff present, the host, and Vasak all turned into dead men almost at the same time.

And all this will be seen by everyone around the world——

Look! That Dr. Mebius who chased the Fire Moth, she just stood up angrily, because the Honkai energy overflowing from her anger actually turned all the humans present into death warriors!

Therefore, all the previous justifications, whether directed at Mikael or the fusion warriors, no longer make sense.

Of course, Mebius wouldn't care about the meaning.

"Did you get dumped? Humph!"

She let out a long breath, her face also turned ferocious, and green lightning quickly filled the entire lens.
