The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

No one knows why the long-dead Herrscher core can beat like a heart again. It seems that no one can explain clearly why the Seventh God's Key, which originally took two hours to charge, was fully charged again in less than half a minute after use, and its power is still being accumulated in excess.

Perhaps there is only one explanation——

"For the one I love."

For the one he loves, he stakes everything on himself, including his future, his present, his past, and his life.

What crazily poured into the core of the Seventh Herrscher and became the material for him to burn everything, apart from the useless Honkai energy, was more of the bones and blood squeezed by Kevin from his own body.

And whether all this is for the world is no longer important. At least he thinks that, at least he can be sure, at least at this moment he clearly remembers who he will swing the next sword for.

The blood quickly fell from the corner of his mouth and kept making zigzag marks on his skin. If it weren't for this blood mark, no one would even be able to tell that he was covered in cuts and bruises. Even his skin and flesh were cracked into pieces as big as fingernails. of small pieces.

And as if in response to his determination, the blade of Jie Mie's sword also cracked inch by inch due to the overload operation. If the Herrscher's core had not provided the most basic centripetal force as the energy collapse point, the entire sword would have been destroyed at this moment. Cease to exist.

Naturally, Mikael would not just watch and let Kevin accumulate strength.

Yes, that's right, of course he hopes that Kevin can defeat him here. In this way, this civilization that has long lost its future can transcend the established reincarnation and move towards the real future. And this is what the heroes want, even what Alicia wants, and Mikael doesn’t want it either...

However, this is not an acceptable optimal solution for himself, so of course he hopes that Kevin can defeat him and kill him here, but he even hopes to get the optimal solution for him. In the future, even if the price of doing so is to bury all of your past here!

"Hoo-ho-ho-ho-"

Every inadvertent breath he took filled the entire universe with a harsh sound like a bellows.

But there is no air in the universe, so these sounds are not so much emitted through vibrations as they are directly penetrated into people's minds.

He raised his hands as if to hold the moon as big as a chicken egg in his hands.

But when a red light flashed across, and the spear transformed from imaginary branches spoke to itself between him and the moon, he changed his mind.

He stepped back slightly and drew the bow out of thin air, just like Alicia had done before.

The imaginary energy in the spear surged out and stretched into a golden arrow, but it was quickly stained with lingering blood red.

The arrow was not aimed at Kevin because Kevin was too small as a target.

The moon, which is the size of a chicken egg, is just right.

"This is... the final blow. But Kevin, I'm faster than you..."

After all, Kevin had just used Skyfire Holy Judgment. Even though at this moment he achieved extremely fast charging in an almost miraculous way, he knew that it was impossible to severely damage Mikael with ordinary rated power, and he had to use more powerful power. , he must turn everything he has into a calamity material... before he can touch the only possibility.

In this case, it is not difficult to understand that Mikael launched the attack one step earlier than him, right?

He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be taking aim, although... there was no need to aim at this distance. Although, his strike was just simulating the operation of a bow and arrow, and whether it could hit or not had nothing to do with whether it was aimed or not.

Is He hesitating?

No, He was just waiting for something.

He is waiting for a person, a third party to make a decision on "what should be done" at this moment.

And the pink feathers slowly falling in front of Him told Him that she had finally made a decision.

Mikael slowly raised his head and looked at the vast universe covered by a black-red aperture. The next moment, the center of the aperture was broken like a cloud. A tiny spark burned bigger and bigger, turning into an open star in the blink of an eye. Winged, swooping firebird.

"magnificent……"

The Firebird hit the invisible barrier. Strangely, Mikael did not use his space power to condense the imaginary barrier.

Or, rather than saying that it is the manifestation of space power, it is better to say that it is the embodiment of Mikael's inner subconscious consciousness to isolate himself from the outside world.

The Firebird easily shattered countless layers of barriers, and was ultimately stopped by the last layer without a doubt. But this was just an appearance. In the spiritual world invisible to the naked eye, Mikael took the initiative to tear away the last layer of barrier, allowing Hua's attack to be implemented.

"Mikael!"

"Snapped!"

As if someone snapped his fingers, the all-devouring flames separated to both sides. Hua's consciousness, which fell with the firebird, gradually became disconnected from the raging sea of ​​fire, regrouped into the appearance of a girl, and finally landed lightly on the ground.

"This is……"

Hua stared at his feet, and the flames gradually dissipated, revealing ripples like water. The water reflected the bright and gorgeous stars that were completely opposite to the real world.

Then, she also saw Mikael's reflection.

"you……"

"Hua. I'm sorry."

Hua bit her lip and sighed:

"You...you...what's the point of saying this now, Mikael? Apologize...can an apology solve any problem? Can an apology bring people back to life? Mikael, what exactly are you going to do?

"No, I'm not questioning. I understand that the pain you have brought to us and the pain you have inflicted on yourself are actually exactly the same. But each of us only needs to bear one share. You need to The sum of all the pain, but even so, you still did it, why?”

Hua wanted to know the answer to this question, but not just because of curiosity.

"You told me that if you hold a lot of things in your heart, it will only become more and more uncomfortable until you forget what you really want and who you really are."

"That's true, but..."

Mikael smiled helplessly:

"Hua, unless you become the world itself, otherwise, even in the end, you will inevitably be limited by the rules of the world itself. Yes, we are born with shackles, even if we become gods, it is the same. Therefore, some words, some Things, I can only think about but cannot say——

"Just like those vague dreams that seem to hint at the future, as long as I tell people, that future will not happen. I don't even dare to let these thoughts stay in my heart. So, I really can not say.

"I can't ask for your forgiveness, but at least today... I didn't kill anyone."

Hua's frowned brows trembled, and then quickly relaxed.

"Hua, please believe me again - do you remember the promise I made to you? My mind has never changed."

"hehe."

Hua smiled bitterly:

"It would be nice if you just gave us such a brief explanation..."

"After all, this is the spiritual world, so I can say more...well, at that time, I was indeed not calm enough."

"It's a little late for you to say this to me now, Mikael."

Hua shook his head again:

"When I leave this space of consciousness, my current memory, as well as the previous memories, will be burned clean, and I will not remember anything. Yu Duchen may record it, but it is no longer my memory."

Hua closed his eyes in pain. When he opened them, everything in front of him had become hazy and blurry, almost completely reduced to simple sketch lines. He only heard Mikael's ethereal voice:

"It's okay, Hua. The loss now is just to regain it in the future..."

The following words could not be heard clearly, or maybe Mikael's words ended abruptly there.

Then, she fell into deep darkness.

Yu Duchen's first rated power hit, and Mikael's pupils were confused for a moment, as if he really didn't know what he was doing or what he wanted to do. Even the bow arm condensed with energy was at this moment. Disappeared, and the imaginary internal energy shrank back into the spear.

"Vilvi, now!"

There was no need for Mei to remind her. At this moment when she was risking everything, Velvet suddenly pushed the retro joystick of the Moonlight Throne to the end, and the pointer on the instrument panel instantly rotated to the 200% extreme position.

"Hey... a perfect shot, but the curtain call is too careless, isn't it? There is no chance to say goodbye to the audience at all."

Velvet chuckled twice, and almost at the same time that the huge beam of light hit Mikael, the flames caused by the overheating of the engine swallowed her and the entire Moonlight Throne together.

The dazzling light beam hit Mikael's neck and almost merged directly into his body, just like an inconspicuous needle piercing it, without causing any real damage. But the next moment, Mikael hugged his head without warning and let out a painful cry:

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The three pairs of light wings behind him exploded silently, blood-red liquid spurted out from the snow-white neck first, and then the purple Honkai energy followed the path opened by the blood and spread into the dark universe and dispersed. Countless branches sprouted out, just like a rapidly growing tree. In just a few seconds, it even extended to hundreds of millions of kilometers away, intersecting with the heat energy on the surface of the sun.

However, on the screen in front of Mei, Mikael's energy response was only reduced by 30%.

"After all... there is no chance of victory at all..."

Although all this was just a counterattack before retreating in the plan, when the result was actually revealed, it was still a bit unacceptable.

Especially after experiencing so many sacrifices...

"However, it's enough. At least you won the future with this blow, right?"

Mei nodded instinctively, and then she realized belatedly - the voice just now was neither her own nor Prometheus, but another very familiar voice.

"That's true..."

Mei San laughed twice.

"Kevin, the rest is up to you!"

A large amount of Honkai energy was lost. As Mei expected, the powerful but extremely fragile time power was completely unable to be maintained at this moment. Mikael's own consciousness had not even been freed from the constraints of Yu Duchen's first rated power. He struggled to break free, but the Seventh Herrscher's core was filled to the brim with all kinds of energy, almost bursting open. So, Kevin finally got his only chance.

"Skyfire... unsheathed!"

There was no need to make any fancy moves anymore. Kevin simply raised the big sword in front of him. Then, in silence, blazing flames swept out with Kevin as the center. The whole moon was set on fire in the blink of an eye.

"Cough cough cough..."

Kevin actually fell to his knees this time.

If possible, he didn't want his end to unfold in such an awkward manner, but now he didn't even have the only thing that could support him. He turned over and lay flat on the ground, letting the cold blood accumulate under him. He turned his head and looked at his right hand——

The familiar hilt of the sword is still in his hand, but the sword body has almost disappeared. Fortunately, the core position is still there. Mei and the others should be able to repair it...

From Kevin's perspective, he could see that Mikael's huge body was slowly falling backwards, and blood and a large amount of Honkai energy were still pouring out from his neck. But if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find, Many of them are flowing back into Mikael's body in an extremely slow manner.

Did he really succeed with that blow? This should be no problem, but which step did it take?

Kevin was completely unable to keep his consciousness clear, and the dark parts in his vision were getting bigger and bigger.

What step did you take? It doesn't seem to matter, as long as Mei...can survive.

But, at the last moment, I really wanted to hear her voice...

"Mei...live..."

Kevin murmured, wanting to listen to May's voice one last time in the mental communication network.

But he didn't hear anything. Did they leave the moon?

No! wrong!

An ominous premonition filled his mind. Kevin could hear Su's rapid breathing due to habit when running, and the sound of the God Keys collected by Su colliding with each other, but he could not hear any sound from Mei.

Finally, with a "bang" sound, it seemed as if Su pushed open the door of the headquarters.

"Ho...ho..."

"thump!"

Sue seemed to kneel down.

Kevin's heart tugged suddenly, and he squeezed out a little strength from nowhere, and he jumped up.

"Su! What's wrong...What's wrong with Mei?"

"Kevin...can you still move?"

"I...I can."

"You...best...if you can, Kevin, you'd better come here in person."

In terms of universal rationality, Su actually said nothing, but precisely because of this, Kevin's last fantasy was shattered.

He stumbled and ran, faster and faster, faster and faster...

There was only one word in his mind:

"plum!"

The lunar soil underfoot was already charred black, and no trace of the original silvery gray could be seen at all.

The land was completely cracked, and the cracks revealed the purple color eroded by Honkai Energy.

New Atla, which humans have spent several years rebuilding, is now in ruins again, but compared to violent destruction, there are too many burn marks on the edges of the fracture.

These are not devastations that are ultimately caused, but are done by him, a human being, Kevin.

But what does this have to do with him?

He just wants to see Mei, he just wants to see Mei again, even if it's a corpse, he wants to see her again! Such thoughts gradually occupied his entire mind. If he stopped to think rationally, he might ask himself:

Do you want to see Mei’s body or don’t want to see Mei’s body?

But what is rationality?

From this perspective, he was destined to be disappointed - when he staggered into the ruins of the headquarters, he only saw Su.

Neither May nor Prometheus was missing.

He didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.

After all, missing means endless possibilities, although Kevin also knows that in this case, there is no difference between missing and death.

But...looking at the command post reduced to ruins, who caused all this?

"Ho... ho... ho ho ho..."

Kevin was crying and laughing at the same time, and his body slowly slid to the ground. He didn't even notice that Su was standing next to him.

What is this?...

What a thing!

He struck that blow so that she could survive. He staked everything on her and was determined to sacrifice.

But he survived, but May was gone—thanks to the blow he'd delivered for her.

"Kevin..."

Su called his name, but ultimately said nothing.

He thought about it, and there was nothing he could say at this time.

He just thrust a terminal into Kevin's hand.

"This is……"

"I found it in a soul steel box. It should be what Mei left for you."

"Hoo..."

Kevin bit his lip, took the terminal left by Mei, pressed the only button, and soon a voice came from inside:

"No. 17? Is this okay?"

"Well, doctor, please hurry up, we don't have much time."

"Huh... Kevin, when you hear this recording, I will probably be gone. But please... you must live well. Haha, I also left something for you... As, The hope of transcending the end in the future, be sure to listen carefully to the next words!”

Kevin didn't listen any further.

No need to listen any more, Kevin thought to himself.

He turned off the terminal and stood up again under Su's surprised gaze.

He still had fifty thousand years, enough time for him to listen to this recording over and over again.

…………

"Uh...ah...ha...drink! We are so exhausted! Sister Velvet also ran too far, we have circled half the moon!"

Pado dragged Velvet's "corpse" over with unsteady steps and arranged it in a circle with the other eleven bodies. She clapped her hands, glanced at Mikael habitually, and then tilted her head with a complicated expression.

In the middle of this circle of corpses, Mikael was lying naked on the ground. No, to be precise, he was nailed to the ground by a red double-pronged spear.

His eyes stared blankly at the lifeless Earth in the starry sky. If he looked carefully, he could see the ebb and flow of the planet that was gradually returning to blue. He could even imagine the ethereal and illusory waves. Voice.

He suddenly felt that he was no different from the former Mikael——

If time keeps reincarnating, going back, and reversing, can it make up for the mistakes that have been made?

Killing a person and then rewinding his time back to the state before the killing, which is commonly known as resurrecting from the dead, does it count as killing this person?

The answer is obvious.

Mikael's chest rose and fell slowly, turning a blind eye to the injury on his chest.

Pado stood there, all her work was done, and she was free for a while. She didn't know what to do. She could only look at Mikael blankly, and then at the same fields and ruins around her.

Suddenly, she felt a soft sound coming from her feet. When she lowered her head, she saw that it was Mebius who had sat up.

Her consciousness was still a little vague at first, and she seemed to be trapped in a paradox caused by the reverse flow of time and could not get out.

She just stared blankly at the charred black earth, while Pado stood beside her, not daring to breathe or move.

Of course Mikael noticed her movements, but he didn't respond.

Until a long time passed, maybe a few days, maybe years, or decades.

It wasn't until the concept of time gradually blurred under the unchanging space that Mebius finally recalled everything. Her pupils also gradually changed from the red cross star back to their original shape, which meant that she was completely free from the influence of time.

Then, her gaze turned downward, and it was difficult not to notice Mikael's figure.

She didn't say anything more, but crawled to Mikael's side in a dull manner, pulled out the spear stuck in his chest, then slowly sat on Mikael, and grabbed his neck with both hands.

Salty tears fell to Mikael's lips, his pupils trembled, and then he slowly raised his right hand and gently placed it on Mebius's cheek.
