The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"This is where humans have been trying to set foot for tens of thousands of years."

When setting foot on the endless silver-white wilderness, it is difficult for every creature that calls itself human not to feel this way in its heart - even for people like Hen who have been tired of looking at the moon for many years.

But unfortunately, the place where everyone appeared was not in the wilderness on the moon's surface, but in the headquarters that humans had previously expanded on the ruins of New Atla.

It is fully equipped and is almost a one-to-one replica of Fire Chaser's situation room. And most importantly, the oxygen supply and heating equipment here are intact.

If the teleportation point is directly set outside, even the fusion warriors will not be able to quickly accept the low temperature and low oxygen environment on the back of the moon, not to mention that there is an ordinary person Mei between them.

"Everyone, please pay attention. It will take one hour and fifty-seven minutes before the Second God Key is fully charged again. Although saying these words before the battle has started is a bit demoralizing, if the battle is unfavorable and we want to retreat, we at least need to hold on. Nearly two hours passed.”

After hesitating for a moment, Velvet finally said this "reminder", even though everyone was familiar with the Second God Key, and there was no need to explain anything more.

"In addition, although it may be more convenient to use the mental communication network to communicate with Su and Aponya, first of all, this network cannot cover Mei. Secondly, during the battle, no one can guarantee that the mental communication network will not be eventually destroyed. , so it’s better for everyone to wear old-fashioned radios to communicate.

"...Well, although in a sense, this thing is easier to destroy. But at least it can ensure the connection between Mei and you. Moreover, it is also equipped with a battle recorder, which is also convenient for Mei to check. According to the battlefield situation, make corresponding commands - of course, this is based on the fact that these things will not be destroyed. "

After saying this, Velvet first handed a radio communication to Aponya.

"I see."

Aponya nodded, "For humans themselves, my power may still be of some use, but for the end... But that's fine, I don't know anything about fighting myself, so the information relay between Mei and everyone will be handed over to me. give it to me."

Almost everyone's attention was immediately attracted by Velvet, so that no one except Kevin noticed that Mei quietly pulled Padora away and said something, and also taught her a part with unknown meaning.

After Wei Wei finished sending the communication, Mei had already returned to her original standing position and gave orders again:

"Aponya, please give us a commandment so that we can adapt to the environment on the moon surface as soon as possible. Although continuing to delay will give the Second God Key more time to recharge, we are not sure of the final action. In the end, It’s good to fight quickly.”

"I see."

As they spoke, everyone felt their body temperature gradually rising, and Qianjie's head was on fire. After all, fusion warriors no longer need to rely on breathing to survive. The only obstacle that the lunar surface will pose to them is the low temperature that pours in after the oxygen shield is destroyed.

Of course, as Mei said, it is not difficult to adapt to the lunar surface environment even if you do not give the precepts and give the heroes half an hour or an hour, but now there is not so much time to waste.

Similarly, when all these tasks are completed, it means that there is no more preparation work to do. From now on, it is time for the decisive battle.

Mei and Kevin looked at each other. Although their eyes met in unison less than a second later, they felt that this was the longest stare they had ever faced.

For a long time, Mei could remember the image of Kevin, who was biting his lower lip and standing with his sword in his eyes with embarrassment, forever engraved in her mind. For Kevin, this was the first time that he saw Mei with her arms folded in front of her chest. , and could still look at her without desire.

Then, the two of them opened their mouths at the same time, as if they wanted to say something to say goodbye to each other.

But there were so many words rushing out that got stuck in my throat, and I didn’t know which thing to say first.

So, in the end, the two of them seemed like superiors and subordinates who had no relationship at all, just talking and giving instructions in a calm way:

"We're off."

"Well, take care."

Mei nodded slightly, barely noticeable.

Perhaps the separation between life and death should not be indifferent. But maybe, in the final analysis, all the emotions in the world don't need to be noisy, tearful, or full of emotions.

All it takes is this... just plain and simple.

All the heroes left, and even Wei Wei also left the headquarters. Mei had formulated multiple combat plans for the fight against the Endgame a long time ago, so she did not need to arrange any tactics in advance. Kevin would make his own decisions.

And Velvet...because the original plan was to rely on the star gate of New Atla to transport troops, so in the original plan, she should stay at the headquarters with Mei and control the Second God Key to fight, but now...

The Second God's Key was stuck in a long charging process. It was useless for Velvet to stay here any longer. It was better to go to the battlefield.

Mei silently sat in front of the big screen. There were already more than a dozen shots on the screen, which were the images returned by the combat recorders worn by the heroes.

"Doctor, we are ready. The Moonlight Throne is changing to the near-lunar orbit. It is expected to take ten minutes."

Prometheus' voice suddenly sounded behind her, but Mei was not surprised. After all, Prometheus, like Corrosion, is a consciousness that can exist on multiple terminals at the same time. Naturally, there is no need to occupy the key of the second god. The power was delivered.

Prometheus No. 17 floated behind Mei, raised his head, and stared at the same screen as Mei.

Then she asked softly:

"Doctor, is all this really worth it?"

One for Mei, one for Velvet, one for her, plus half of Pado. These three and a half people may be the only people in the world who understand the true meaning of this battle.

Of course, if she wasn't human, she was two and a half humans.

In fact, everything in the world has no meaning, but the reason why human civilization is great is that it can often create meaning in a meaningless world, and this is still the case today.

What can the battle with the End bring to humanity? Except for greater casualties, it actually brings nothing.

Their civilization has been destroyed long ago. Whether they win or lose, what they have to do next is to rebuild their civilization.

But because some people still hold on to the chance of defeating the end of the world fifty thousand years later, this battle is necessary and meaningful.

This was not Mei's idea, but the day Mikael quarreled with her, the two discussed various future possibilities.

According to him, if he fails and the end comes, he will do everything possible to cut off the "thread of fate" in Aponnia's eyes.

How to cut off destiny? May didn't know, but she knew it could be done, at least Ellie could do it. And Aponya also confirmed this, the thread of fate was indeed cut off.

But questions also come one after another - when destiny no longer exists, and all futures are as unobservable as quantum uncertainty, then how to ensure that all plans in the next era can be carried out more smoothly?

Mei tilted her head, her eyes swept over No. 17 beside her, and then into the more distant nothingness.

"I'm sorry, No. 17... I'm sorry, Pado."

…………

To put it bluntly, New Atla is a bit weird.

It is obviously on the back side of the moon, but as long as you look up, you can see the earth. It is obviously in the dark night on the back of the moon, but there is an inexplicable brilliance near this crater.

"this……"

The huge red cross was not directly above the terminal crater. It moved backwards under the influence of external forces, and a huge rift opened on the edge of the crater.

The rift valley stretched all the way to the distant horizon, pointing out to everyone the giant cross that stood slanted on the ground, almost leaning backwards.

But that's not because the cross is crooked. It's leaning backwards. That's just the normal inclination caused by the spherical surface.

But even after such a long distance, you still have to raise your head high from the horizon to see the center of the cross. There, there was a man-sized cocoon-like protrusion at the connection point of the cross, and there was a spear outside the cocoon, as if someone had nailed something to the cross.

"It's strange. In the surveillance room just now, it was clearly right above the crater."

Su Rao opened his eyes and looked at the huge cross with fear. From the blood-red color, he could always feel something extremely ominous and strange.

Of course, it would be a bit too pretentious to say this. Isn’t the end itself the biggest unknown? But as a spiritually aware fusion warrior, Su Neng could clearly feel something even more strange... a premonition.

The voice that symbolized intuition kept whispering in his ears:

"Don't go there."

Don't go there, but it's not because of the fear of death, but because something... something more devastating will happen, so much so that he, who is always known for his calmness, swallowed several times unconsciously.

"cut!"

Mebius glanced at his mouth and said, "It's just that he chose a suitable battlefield for himself and us."

If she had doubts, nay, hope, about the worst possibility before, then now...she is almost certain that the Endgame, which was born to destroy the world, would deliberately choose battlefields and avoid them. New Atla?

And this posture was as if he was waiting for them... If he really wanted to fight, he should have launched an attack when they first appeared.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Yin Yan is so arrogant.

But she didn't care about that anymore. She picked up the white flowers in the black abyss and walked past everyone on her own, taking a step toward the end.

"Let's go, He's waiting for us."

Kevin said softly, feeling something too.

After the words fell, his figure disappeared directly from the spot. Everyone turned their attention to the horizon again, only to see a touch of white there, then fiery red, and then emerald green...

However, the location of the cross was indeed a bit far away. Even at the speed of the fusion warrior, it took nearly twenty minutes to arrive.

The pillars of the cross look extremely slender when viewed from a distance, but in reality they are just a visual deception. When you really stand in front of it, you realize that its width even reaches a thousand meters. Only in this way can it support a whole building. A height of 12,000 meters.

Rather than saying it is a cross in the traditional sense, it is more like a thick tree trunk. Upon closer inspection, there are many places that are not straight, and there are many rough holes and textures. In comparison, the blood The red color seems to be just a layer of paint that has been applied hastily...but why does it smell like blood?

Suddenly, a strong and powerful heartbeat came from the cocoon in the middle of the cross again. Before everyone could react, the cocoon was pushed to both sides, and a black shadow fell from a height of 12,000 meters.

"Disperse!"

The figures of the people turned into several black lines and jumped to one side, while the black shadow above their heads fell on the silver-gray field, and the rising smoke and dust obscured everyone's vision for a while.

"Alert!"

Without Kevin's command, most of the people here have experienced many battles and know that the enemy is very likely to seize such an opportunity to launch an attack. So when their vision is blurred, they rely on Abonia's guidance to meet with the nearest comrades in pairs, alert to the crisis that may come at any time.

But until the smoke and dust completely dissipated, nothing happened, except that there was an extra figure in front of them.

Although they were mentally prepared, when they saw the familiar face, the thoughts of the heroes still crashed in an instant.

"Mikael..."

But when the others were still shocked, a touch of green had touched behind Mikael.

"Well, long time no see."

Mikael nodded as usual and greeted the heroes, but in the next moment, his left foot slowly stepped forward, and his body turned, and then the sharp tip of the black abyss and white flowers crossed his back.

"What!"

Mebius was too surprised to make any defensive moves, and only felt a light slap on her back, which sent her back to the team of heroes.

"Swish!"

The tip of the spear pierced into the moon soil, leaving a long mark. Mebius used this to stabilize his body and stood in front of all the heroes and asked:

"Mikael, what do you want to do?"

Mikael's face gradually became wooden, and the agility when he greeted just now seemed to be just a reflection of the return, and if you miss it, you will never see it again.

"It's nothing more than correcting some mistakes, erasing some pain, and reversing some sacrifices, that's all."

"Are you really Mikael?"

Kevin dragged the Skyfire Greatsword and blocked in front of Mebius.

"It doesn't matter. Whether you think I'm Mikael or not, it's meaningless to me..." After saying this, he took a step back with his right foot, and then moved forward again. As if they had discussed it, Kevin appeared beside him, and the tip of the Skyfire sword passed through his afterimage. After missing the attack, Kevin tried to twist his body in mid-air and kicked towards Mikael's head, but Mikael just tilted his head and was once again brushed by Kevin's attack. At this moment, Kevin's back was completely exposed to Mikael, and the inertia of his previous thrust had not yet stopped. He forcibly destroyed his balance in mid-air and launched an additional attack. At this time, he had no ability to dodge. Even a person who didn't know how to fight at all knew that he should make up a counterattack at this moment. So Mikael slowly clenched his right hand into a fist and handed it forward... "The wheel of cause and effect!" Su silently recited these words in his heart, and an invisible energy wave swept over. The reason why Su was able to become one of the very few spiritual perception fusion warriors with the ability to fight head-on was at least half of the factor of the causal wheel.

For the targets bound by the causal wheel, all their attacks would be returned to themselves in equal amounts, as if the causal relationship was reversed.

But Mikael seemed to have anticipated the current scene long ago. The fist that was originally stretched out softly was retracted at the moment when Su applied the causal wheel, so nothing happened.

The right fist was retracted directly to the left side of Mikael's face, and then he tilted his head to the right, and stretched out his right index finger, gently pointing to the void on one side.

"Bang!"

The next moment, Eden pulled the trigger, and the pistol named "Hua Zhang" sprayed out dazzling golden lightning, but it just brushed Mikael's cheek, and the finger that Mikael pointed happened to change the trajectory of the movement, turned around, and collided with the green lightning arrow mixed with black mud, and the two arcs exploded together, crackling.

After doing all this, Hua had already rushed in front of him. She punched left and right continuously, but was dodged by Mikael again.

She rushed into Mikael's arms, gathered her strength in the base of her left palm, and suddenly hit Mikael's jaw upwards, but Mikael seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on her. He took a step back slowly until the last moment. Hua could even feel the stinging feeling of her fingertips and the stubble on his chin, but she still missed it.

However, Mikael took that step back a little too late. Although he withdrew from the attack range of Hua's fists, he was not too far away.

Hua quickly adjusted his posture, lowered his waist, and swept a right whip kick towards Mikael's temple.

But Mikael smiled - Hua was very close, so he was completely sure that it was an extremely indifferent smile.

Without time to think, Mikael bent his knees, and her whip kick passed by Mikael's scalp, but her sight just happened to catch a glimpse of two black lines coming from the left - that was Hen and Desdobia using telekinesis to control the key of control to try to sneak attack.

She could no longer hold back her strength, and her whip kick pulled back the two soul steel blocks controlled by telekinesis, and then she heard a scream -

"Ah!"

The key of control flew backwards and knocked down Kosmo who tried to touch from the side. Hua only had time to say sorry in her heart, and saw Mikael, who had bent his knees and shrank, straightened his body, and put his shoulder on her crotch, which was exposed when she kicked high, and gently pushed her out.

Then, he leaned down again, and the flaming sword swept across his back. While lowering his head, he grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and raised it towards Kevin behind him.

Kevin instinctively formed a wall of ice to block him, but the next moment, the ice wall shattered under Mikael's fist without even being able to hold on for a tenth of a second.

Mikael grabbed Kevin by the collar and gently threw him back into Ying Jie's team.

finished?

No, Mikael turned sideways again and took a step back to the side.

"roll!"

The next moment, with a roar, the huge red cross behind him collapsed, but he stood motionless, showing no intention of dodging. The final facts proved that the corner of the cross was pressed against the place where he stood before, only a few centimeters away from the tip of his current toes.

His left hand turned into a claw, and he grabbed it to the side. Qianjie was rushing towards him, but it seemed that he had delivered his neck into his hands, and then without any suspense, he was thrown back to Ying Jie's team by Mikael.

The scene was a little quiet for a moment, and that's right, the air on the moon is thin, and the sound is inherently small.

The faces of the heroes were a little solemn. Although it was just a brief exploratory attack, the gap between "Mikael" in front of them and them had been fully exposed.

Every move they made seemed to be within the other's expectation, and everyone knew that if "Mikael" wanted to, no one of them could touch the hem of his clothes.

They also know very well that this is not Mikael's fighting method - since the powers of the First and Sixth Herrschers can quickly repair the body, Mikael's fighting method has nothing to do with agility. It's fixed.

But the heroes are no strangers to this kind of agility like flying flowers. This is what scares them the most——

"Mikael, Alicia, what happened to her? Where is she?"

Except for Mebius, everyone would rather believe that the consciousness of Mikael in front of them exists in the body of the end, but they don't know what to call him for a while, so they can only call him Mikael for the time being.

"She..."

Mikael looked at Ying Jie expressionlessly, his eyes narrowed and his eyes became a little distant.

"Alicia, she's dead."
