The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"This...this is..."

Kevin picked up a fragment from the "trash" in front of him and looked at it carefully for a long time, but no matter how he looked at it, there was nothing special about these materials.

With his simple knowledge, he might not be able to name each component accurately, but it was not difficult to determine that most of the components of the "corpse" in front of him were electronic components.

In general, the existence he just killed was undoubtedly a bionic robot similar to Prometheus...

"No, Kevin...how should I put it, he should be different from Prometheus."

As a spiritually aware fusion warrior, it was not difficult for Su to guess Kevin's thoughts, so he denied it immediately.

"Prometheus' movement relies on 'algorithm' rather than 'consciousness'. At least my mental power cannot find the equivalent in her body. And the feeling this guy gives me..."

Su opened a slit of her eye and carefully looked at the electronic components that Kevin pulled out of Gray Snake's mind. After considering it for a moment, he confirmed:

"This guy gives me the impression that he is somewhere between a normal human being and Prometheus. He does have the same consciousness as a human being, but looking at his brain components, he is even more human-like than Prometheus. Artificial Intelligence.”

"It seems to be somewhat similar to the Herrscher of Corrosion? No, it's impossible. The Key of Corrosion has become the paradise of the past. But apart from us, there should be no one in this world who can make electronic components... Could it be... "

Kevin rolled his tongue in his mouth and sighed.

The two people's eyes intertwined in mid-air, and the same possibility came to their minds——

Consciousness transfer surgery!

"Su, are you sure Mebius is dead?"

"At that time, Sakura told me that she also tried to input Honkai energy into Mebius's corpse in an attempt to trigger Shersha's 'Snake Slough' ability, but she failed."

Su answered truthfully, but as he spoke, he even became confused——

Mebius, will he really die? Did Mikael really kill her?

He turned to look at Kevin, whose fists were already clenched.

His first reaction was to deny this possibility. Indeed, as their former comrade-in-arms, Mebius's survival was news worth celebrating for them, and it was also the most reasonable explanation for the appearance of this strange creature, but when he thought of " The danger hidden behind the possibility that "Mebius is still alive" made Kevin feel like he was breaking out in a cold sweat——

If Mebius is still alive, then the rest of the heroes...and Mikael...

Moreover, he had to admit that no matter how selective he was, there was a high possibility that Mebius was still alive.

"Su, do you still remember what we discovered in Egypt?"

When they came to the oasis and tried to spread civilization, they found that there had already been a kind of worship and belief in snakes, and even if you think about it, there is also something about cats...

And it’s not just Egypt, there are also legends about foxes circulating in the Far East. Taking into account the current China, Taixu Mountain, Red Kite Immortal...

He just felt that the world had been reduced to a huge and empty chessboard. Before they noticed, Mikael had already made countless moves in advance, so the entire chess game was under his control.

"Calm down, Kevin."

Su Su shuddered and patted Kevin's shoulder gently. If he was allowed to continue like this, this autumn grassland would soon turn into an endless ice field.

"I know I know……"

Kevin threw down the components in his hand and took a deep breath, seeming to take back all the cold air that had escaped from the previous emotional fluctuations, but he still left a part of it to wrap up the scattered components at his feet, and slowly After freezing...

With a "bang" sound, these components exploded together with the ice crystals and disappeared without a trace.

"No matter who wants to manufacture this kind of thing, they must have a complete industrial system and allow satellites to capture global images for analysis. I don't believe they can't find it."

Su opened his mouth but stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

"Kevin, if it's Mikael, he doesn't seem to use any other equipment, right?"

"..."

Kevin was silent for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief:

"There is no other way but to treat a dead horse as a living doctor. However, since this thing appears in the Kipchak grassland, it means that the person behind it, Mebius? Or Mikael, they have no idea about this war. Same concern. So..."

If you want to know the truth of everything, the best way is to directly confront yourself.

Since they also care about this battle, the possibility of them meeting has skyrocketed.

What he couldn't say clearly fifty thousand years ago, fifty thousand years later, Kevin thought he was much more mature than that time. He looked forward to it. He was both afraid and looking forward to seeing Mikael again, and then understood the truth of the world. .

"Let's go."

…………

The curtain was weakly opened, and Otto Apocalis carefully got into the tent, felt the darkness and lit a candle with a fire sickle, and then put the only dim light on the pony.

On one side of the candlestick was the pocket watch that had been turned into a pocket watch. Otto stared at the pocket watch and looked left and right, finally confirming that it was in the same position as when he left it, and it should not have been touched.

"well……"

Before speaking, he himself couldn't explain why, but he sighed first.

"Hey, you don't look like you're in a good mood?"

Void Manzo was talking nonsense again - Otto pursed his lips and thought as he looked at the golden cube in front of him that had returned to its original state.

"What? Was it that your father and son's crazy plan was vetoed by Luka Kaslana, the commander-in-chief?"

"!"

Otto grabbed Void Manzo and asked in a low voice:

"I have never told a third party about that plan, how did you know about it!"

Without waiting for Void Manzo to answer, Otto gave the answer directly——

"You can see a person's inner thoughts and even change a person's inner thoughts, right?"

"Tsk!"

Void Manzang shook slightly and turned into golden light that merged into Otto's body. However, his voice did not stop as soon as it was good, but sounded directly in Otto's mind:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! You think too highly of me. Those things you said are things that only gods can do, right? If I were a god, would I be reduced to this?"

But Otto didn't buy his account, and he boldly expressed his guess:

"No need to hide it. The reason why I was able to survive when I was by the river was because you used a certain ability, right? Those golden feathers, do you think I didn't see them?

"The reason why those wise people let me go is precisely because you modified their consciousness and made them ignore my existence. Then, my confusion was also caused by you, just to give myself a different kind of 'accidental encounter' The way you appear is to conceal your purpose, right?

"I admit, you succeeded. I still can't figure out what you want to do!"

Otto knew that his guess was just a guess after all, not perfect enough and full of errors.

For example, if Void Manzo can really control people's consciousness, why doesn't it just turn itself into a puppet? With such ability, what you want to do can be done directly. No one can stop it, so why bother to be vain here.

If it can modify people's consciousness, then why not directly delete or modify the memory of the golden feather in one's mind, so that there will be no such obvious flaws.

If it can read a person's consciousness, then why bother asking the previous questions when you can get the answer directly from his mind.

But despite all seemingly "rational" and seemingly "rigorous" analyses, Otto still believes in his own intuition the most——

He believes that Void Wanzang can control people's consciousness, modify people's consciousness, and read people's consciousness. And those seemingly contradictory and seemingly unreasonable points are more like bait deliberately released by this guy, just waiting for someone to take the bait.

So the question is, who will be the first to take the bait?

There seems to be no controversy.

However, rather than being hooked, Otto was more likely to be hit directly by the bait and had to swallow it.

How would Void Manzang answer?

Otto deduced five or six possibilities in his mind. He firmly believed that compared to Kudos Manzo, he would undoubtedly be crushed in terms of combat effectiveness. But on the track of resourcefulness, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose. .

Isn’t this how humans have always been? They don't have the strength of tigers and bears, the agility of lions and leopards, they can't fly like eagles, and they can't swim like whale sharks... In terms of combat effectiveness and pure physical fitness, there are too many animals that are far stronger. Compared to humans, the only advantage humans have over them is...intelligence.

Kuroyukihime said, "Those are things that only gods can do." But apart from the difference in power between gods and humans, are gods also superior to humans in terms of intelligence? Otto didn't believe this evil.

He knew that all his thoughts might be under the prying eyes of the void, but so what?

He showed his wisdom to Kongkuanzang without hesitation, listing in his mind the possible responses that it might give to prevaricate and change the subject.

If Void Manzo's response was within his expectations, then this would undoubtedly be his victory.

What if Void Manzo peeked into his consciousness and deliberately avoided the answers he listed?

It doesn't matter, Otto is confident that he has listed all the non-positive answers, so if Void Manzang wants to avoid it, he can only give a positive response. He still wins.

In any case, the winner in the end will be him, Otto Apocalypse.

Although it is only a spiritual victory.

Void Wanzang was silent for a while. Otto knew that it was hesitating, but it was useless. Otto would definitely win this battle!

"Tsk!"

Void Manzang smacked his lips.

"Interesting, Otto?"

Otto smiled mockingly to himself, stood up again, walked to the wine barrel, and poured himself half a glass of rancid red wine.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to drink it. He just put the cup down, licked his dry and cracked lips, and said:

"So, Void Wanzang, you are not a human being after all, and you lack thinking about life. Life is a meaningless journey, so people will use various ways to please themselves to make their originally boring life. It has to be interesting, so naturally I can’t avoid it.”

"Pfft!"

For some reason, Void Manzo laughed, but only for a moment.

"Otto, it's you who are naive. One day you will find that the fun you care about now does not actually make your life interesting. Because there is only one real fun in life, and that is... "

"What is it?"

Otto didn't seem surprised by Kōku Manzo's sudden convulsion, and even asked with interest, but the latter stopped talking and had no intention of continuing the topic.

"Okay, I admit, I do have some powers regarding 'consciousness'. However, I am a person with extremely high moral quality. Unless I face an enemy, I rarely take the initiative to pry into another person's heart. So do you. Having said that, life is inherently boring, and it would be too cruel if there was no uncertainty about communication between people..."

The corners of Otto's mouth curled up slightly. He felt that he understood something, but he did not dare to let those wild speculations stay in his mind for too long.

"So, what happened? You were not in a good mood when you first came back."

Otto did not answer immediately, but picked up the cup of bad wine that he had just disliked so much, and was about to put it into his mouth.

"etc."

The rim of the cup was close to his lower lip, and it was as if Kong Manzang was deliberately blocking this time to stop him.

"What's wrong?"

Void Manzang did not answer, but Otto clearly saw a cup exactly like the one in his hand on the horse in front of him, and the cup was filled with water.

Otto narrowed his eyes, and while he put down the wine glass in his hand, he tried to figure out the deep meaning of Kong Manzo's actions.

Did something fall into the water? No, with its capabilities, there is absolutely no need to do this.

That can't be pure concern, right?

Otto chuckled twice, raised the cup filled with water without hesitation, touched it to the void, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Now can you tell me what happened?"

Otto pointed to the empty cup, and Void Manzang sneered twice before filling the empty cup again in the blink of an eye.

After repeating this many times, Otto let out a long sigh of satisfaction, and then his expression became a little lonely.

"What did you guess before? Do you think it was Luka Kaslana who refused to accept my father's secret order, which made me feel bad?"

"Isn't it? People in the Kaslana family can't tolerate sand in their eyes. He didn't catch you and throw you back to Klosten, which was already beyond my expectation."

"It is undeniable that you know Kaslana very well, but you may have some misunderstandings about human beings. Kaslana, as a family in a macro sense, certainly has the same stubbornness and sense of justice, but when it is broken down to each individual There will be many variables in the body - unfortunately, Kallen's uncle, Luka Kaslana, is not a normal Kaslana. "

"Tsk! He actually agreed?"

"There's nothing he can do if he doesn't agree..."

Otto shook the cup, and the dim candlelight flickered in the cup.

"With the war like this, unless there is something wrong within the Ming Dynasty, destiny has no chance of winning. And once the war is defeated, it is hard to say what will happen to Europe, what will happen to destiny, and what will happen to the Apokalis family, but as the frontline commander, it is hard to say The Kaslana family where the command is located will definitely suffer the most criticism. As the head of the Kaslana family, he naturally wants to avoid all this. Therefore, facing the only possibility that can turn the tide of the war, he has no reason to refuse. "

"and you……"

"Wanzang, in your heart, what kind of person am I, Otto Apokalis?"

"..."

"Okay, I just want to make a few remarks."

"But...you didn't say anything?"

Otto did not answer, but blew out the candle and lay down on the small cot.

The summer night was extremely hot, and the thin shirt and bedding quickly became filled with sweat. In addition, there were many mosquitoes on the grassland, making them buzz incessantly. Otto's breathing also changed from even to chaotic.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep? Do you want to get up and chat again?"

Otto turned over and lay on his side, silent.

"Otto, you...actually..."

"enough!"

"No, I just want to ask, if I remember correctly... Otto, your mother's surname should be Shaniat, right?"

"Um?"

Otto didn't understand Void Manzo's jumping mind, but he didn't mean to hide it.

"Yes, so what?"

"It's nothing, you'd better have a good sleep first."

Otto wanted to say something else, but suddenly felt that his consciousness had become extremely drowsy - it seemed like he had seen each other before...

He only had time to think this before he fell into a sweet dream.

The summer night wind, carrying a sticky sweat, opened a small corner of the curtain, and the silver-white moonlight quietly spilled into the military tent.

From this, the second figure in the room was outlined.

Mikael sat on the pony next to the cot, his eyes as cold as the moonlight.

"Otto, do you also feel regretful, painful, and repentant? Even if you know that all this is for Karen, can you still not forgive yourself for the sins you have committed and are about to commit? That's right, what's in your body After all, half of the blood shed is mine and hers... However, I still have to say...

"Otto Apocalypse... at least the current Otto Apocalypse, but that's all..."

Mikael looked at his expression gradually becoming calmer and even a little intoxicated while sleeping, and sighed softly:

"Good night, sweet dreams."
