The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

The raindrops fell on the cloudy glass window, intertwining with each other, like a random graffiti. The rain fell from near midnight until the early morning of the next day. How long exactly did it rain? Su didn't know that a few hours might be extremely torturous for a mortal, especially at night, but in his mind, it was no different than the snap of a finger.

It is now sunrise, and the rain outside the window has been violently attacking all night. At this time, it is at the end of its power, and it is sparse and out of control. But the thick gray clouds still lingered high in the sky, like a huge barrier covering Klosten. Even if the sun appeared at this moment, I am afraid there would be nothing to do about it.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Please come in."

The door creaked open, and Su didn't open his eyes or turn his head. He only heard the dull footsteps getting closer and closer to him, and finally stopped beside him.

"The Shaniyat family has taken good care of this thing. It cannot be used directly. However, the core data inside is not damaged. I extracted it to this hard drive."

After speaking, Erwin placed a small hard drive on the small table in front of Su.

"Have you read the content?"

"No, uh... I'd like to read it, but based on my experience, the information in it is mostly one-time use. Once opened, it will automatically enter the formatting program, and there will be no chance of playing it a second time."

"That's it..."

Su opened her eyes, picked up the small hard drive from the table, held it between her fingers and looked at it carefully.

"Who else came into contact with Adam and Eve after they came of age, besides me and Kevin?"

"should not."

Erwin shook his head vigorously. He knew what Su was going to ask. At the beginning, in addition to Adam and Eve, the Fire Chaser also created countless test-tube babies carrying the stigma gene. Naturally, they could not be thrown directly into the To survive in the desolate land, the Fire Chaser Moth provided them with basic education for a long time before they reached adulthood.

But when they reach a certain age, these children will be "kicked out" and will almost never have any overt interactions with the Fire Chaser Moth. Except for a few self-defense weapons, the Fire Chaser Moth will not leave them with anything. Something, let alone a hard drive that is enough to record information?

The only possibility is that someone contacted them again after they left.

"But in fact, you also understand, Su, this is unlikely to be a problem with the Fire Chaser. All electronic components, weapons and equipment... in short, a lot of things that are ahead of the times cannot be brought without permission or permission. When leaving the base, something as precious as a hard drive must be registered with Cang Xuan... In fact, I did not find the Fire Chaser Moth's number on that hard drive.

"Of course, contacts can make such a micro-hard drive by themselves. It is not unimaginable to hide it in certain places and take it out of the base. But the hard drive is just a reading and writing device. To store information in it, a computer is needed. Such information input devices, and even the smallest computer is the size of a palm..."

He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear - Eve's ability to leave this thing behind probably had nothing to do with the fire-chasing moth, but...

From a certain point of view, this was also his test of Su - Kevin and Su did not tell anyone about the news that other heroes, including Mikael, might still be alive, but everyone had more or less guesses.

It's no wonder that they are not honest. Even they themselves still find it difficult to figure out their attitude towards Mikael. After all, no matter what he wanted to do, no matter whether he betrayed everyone or not, it was a definite fact that he destroyed the previous civilization. If they are like this, what do the other ordinary soldiers think of Mikael? It's hard to say what kind of chaos would happen if it was known that Mikael might still be alive.

"...I understand. You go and prepare the communication. After reading the information here, I want to have a call with Kevin. In addition, look up the relevant records of the Paradise of the Past. As an awakener of the Stigmata, Eve still has I have been practicing in the Paradise of the Past for a long time, and it’s hard to say where the things came from.”

"Huh? That being said, it's not impossible."

Erwin nodded and without saying anything else, quietly exited the room and closed the door gently.

Five seconds after the sound of the door lock springing up, Su let out a long sigh of relief.

He knew that some things might no longer be hidden, but he could delay them for a while.

In the next half hour, he did not rush to check the information left by Eve Shaniat on the hard drive, but continued to stare at the world outside the rain curtain in trance.

His thoughts were a little dazed. This was a feeling he had never experienced in thousands of years, no, fifty thousand years.

Time can wash away a person's character beyond recognition, but Su couldn't even explain clearly what it was during yesterday's trip to Shaniyat that touched his heart and awakened the sadness that had been buried by time.

But what exactly do you want to be sad about? It's sadness for that past era, sadness for the countless long-dead people who once appeared in his life...or maybe it's just sadness itself.

This shouldn't be the case.

Su shook her head.

This is not how it should be. Time will smooth away all unnecessary emotions, such as anger, hatred, and sadness.

But time can only smooth out these emotions, but cannot erase them. Maybe... maybe it just accumulates to a certain limit, and it will be like a dam full of water, and it will have to open to release the flood.

Yes, that should be it. There was nothing special about yesterday's trip. If Shaniyat itself is a special kind, he has sent away hundreds of Shaniyat in the past five thousand years. You should have gotten used to it a long time ago.

It is difficult to say that the generation of any emotion is due to a simple thing, but more of a silent accumulation of daily life.

Watching one generation after another leave, not only from the original world, but also from the parallel world, was a torture for Su's spirit.

"well……"

Su sighed softly again.

There is still good news - according to the current development level of civilization and the observation results of the world bubble, the birth time of the Herrscher in this era will be about five hundred years later at the latest.

Compared with the 50,000 years he spent previously, five hundred years is only one percent. Although it is not short, it is definitely not long.

It's just... It's a pity that Eleanor Shaniat will not live five hundred years from now.

When this idea popped up, Su was startled and couldn't even control his body, almost jumping up from the recliner.

So, maybe the sadness that had accumulated all night was just because I had a good impression of that girl?

Su shook his head, it was just a hint of good impression. In the past 50,000 years, there had been other people of the opposite sex who could make him feel good. He is an adult male who is extremely healthy both physically and mentally. It is normal to have a crush on the opposite sex.

But such good feelings are too fragile in the face of time and Honkai. Sometimes Su just observes the world, and the girl who was originally twenty years old turns into an old woman in her twenties. As time goes by, even the ability to have good feelings is lost. They all gradually degenerated. After all, every good feeling was destined to be emotionally traumatized. Although Su himself had no intention of deepening this feeling, the trauma would not be too deep, but it must have accumulated over time. That’s why tonight’s accumulated explosion happened.

However, I have gotten used to all this, so be it.

Su picked up the micro hard drive and climbed up from the recliner. He opened the bedside table, took out a palm-sized terminal and inserted the hard drive into it.

"Zizzi..."

First there was the soft sound of electric current pulsing, and within two or three seconds, the terminal's stereoscopic projection screen lit up, and what appeared in front of Su was a girl's face that was seventy percent similar to Eleanor's.

Compared to Eleanor, her hair was a little pinker and her cheeks were plumper. She pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth naturally turned up in a beautiful arc, and then she greeted her warmly like a real person:

"Hi! Uncle Su, see you again!"

"Well?"

"Hahaha! If it is Uncle Kevin who opens this video, then I have to apologize! However, from my understanding, Uncle Su is more likely to find this video, right? It's just that, right? , when is it now? Five hundred years from now? Or five thousand years from now? No matter what time it is, I hope I can catch up."

"Catch up? What do you mean?"

Su frowned and did not ask the question. After all, the Eve in front of him was just a video. Even if he asked a question, he was destined to not get an answer. It was like a bullet that was shot and could only be allowed to fly in the air. , whether the target can be hit or not is determined from the moment the trigger is pulled.

"Hey, speaking of it, today is my eighteenth birthday. That idiot Adam went to explore the paradise for another day, and I didn't bother to tell him...but it doesn't matter."

After saying this, Su saw an unprecedented smile blooming on Eve's face.

"The Paradise of the Past... is such a wonderful place. Uncle Su, this is the happiest birthday I have ever had. Mother, Aunt Apponia, Aunt Eden and Milk Mebius... Ahem, Aunt Mebius took me to the amusement park for a day. It is already the evening of Paradise time, and my mother has just taken me to finish the birthday cake...with a special guest..."

She took a deep breath, and the expression on her face could no longer be described as happiness, but as extreme excitement and excitement——

"That guest is... my father. Yes, I really saw my father! You guys originally told me that my father did not leave any memory in the Paradise, but I really saw him just now!"

She took two deep breaths quickly, covered her red cheeks, and forced herself to calm down.

Contrary to her mood, Su's heart felt as if someone had suddenly tugged at her, and her body's temperature was rapidly draining away, as if she had been soaked in ice water all of a sudden.

"Sigh... I'm sorry, Uncle Su and Uncle Kevin. I've said so many irrelevant things. You must be tired of watching them, right?"

Speaking of this, another look of confusion appeared on her face:

"Actually, I don't know what I'm talking about when I record this video... It's just that my father asked me to record it... Hehe, he is standing in front of me now, maybe he coincides with the position where the two uncles are standing. Hmm. ...Ah, PAPA, is this okay?”

Su suddenly held her breath, and the next moment, a familiar voice sounded:

"Well, Sue, you should be able to hear me, right?"

"Mikael, you...what do you want to do! Why are you in the promised land!"

Su asked in a calm voice. It wasn't until he finished asking that he remembered that this was indeed just a video.

But what's even more amazing is that Mikael's next words seemed to follow his question, and the two of them seemed to be having a conversation nearly five thousand years apart.

"Why, are you surprised?"

On the video, only Eve's smiling face was frozen at the end, but Mikael's voice seemed to come from all directions:

"This is the Paradise of the Past, Alicia's paradise. If I can't even enter the Paradise, wouldn't I be too sorry for my name as the 'Guardian of Paradise'?"

The questions and answers were connected so cleverly that Su couldn't believe that this was just a video.

"Okay, Su, I guess you must have a lot to ask. I know you are in a hurry, but please don't worry. By the time you see this video, it will be about five thousand years later, right? You Even if you ask a question, I can't hear it.

"However, having not met a decent opponent for so many years, both you and Kevin are a little lonely, right? Don't worry, when you see this recording five thousand years later, it means that we are about to meet again. Fifty thousand It’s time to decide the winner of the unfinished battle years ago!”

"Mikael, what do you mean!"

Su wanted to shout loudly, but he controlled himself again. He couldn't let Erwin next door hear, at least not now.

But it doesn't matter, someone asked the question in his heart for him.

"PAPA...Father...what were you talking about just now?"

Eve's face became a little frightened, and she stared at something in front of her in disbelief.

"Don't worry, Eve."

An arm suddenly appeared in the video and rubbed Eve's head.

"Well?"

"It's just a joke between men. Fifty thousand years ago, we had an unfinished game. Well, that's it."

"Hmm...I always feel like it's more than that..."

Eve pouted, and Mikael pinched her face again.

"Okay, that's it for the video. I also asked Mebius about the problem you mentioned last time to see if she could help you solve it!"

"oops!"

Mikael's change of topic seemed to be successful. Eve immediately held her face and became shy, and her upper body quickly disappeared from the picture.

"Ah……"

Su let out a breath. It was strange to say that based on common sense, this video did not reveal much unknown information about Su.

It is nothing more than that Mikael sneaked into the Paradise of the Past five thousand years ago on the day when his daughter came of age. This is actually not very surprising. After all, the space where the Paradise of the Past exists is the world anchored in Mikael's body. Pao, it would be weird if Mikael couldn't enter the Paradise of the Past.

But Su still felt a heavy weight weighing on his heart, making him somewhat breathless.

What on earth made him so nervous?

Thinking about it carefully, maybe every word of Mikael's words just matched his inner doubts, as if it was not a video, but the real Mikael standing in front of him and answering...

It’s not impossible!

Su straightened his body, and his mental energy instantly spread throughout the room. However, other than himself, he did not notice the presence of the second person.

"Am I worrying too much? Or is it just a coincidence?"

It would not be unreasonable to say that Mikael anticipated his reaction in advance because of his understanding of him. It was as if Eve could predict in advance that it was him, not Kevin, who was standing here to open this video.

But for some reason, thinking like this, the uneasiness in Su's heart not only did not dissipate, but became even more intense——

A person's destiny is his character.

In the eyes of someone who knows your character very well, is your destiny really an illusory thing?

Could it be said that everything that has happened in the past five thousand years, or even in the past fifty thousand years, was generally within Mikael's expectations...

Yes, how could he confirm that it was exactly five thousand years later when he discovered this video?

After thinking about it carefully, Su couldn't help but lean back and took two steps back until his back pressed against the cold wall. The cold sweat covering his back quickly took away the body temperature, and he couldn't help but sneeze.

"Huh...turn this thing off first..."

He only moved half a step forward when he heard a long sigh again.

"Sigh... My daughter is really hard to deal with. Fortunately, I still have Ellie to take care of her. Su, five thousand years later, Klosten, see you there."

After spitting out the last syllable, a burst of green smoke came out of the terminal, accompanied by a burning smell, and the hard drive burned down along with the entire terminal.

Su stood there blankly for one second, two seconds, three seconds...

“Bang tom—bang tom—bang tom—”

“Bang tom, bang tom, bang tom, bang tom——”

His heartbeats quickly became one, and he understood that what Mikael said before was not a prediction, but a solid prophecy——

Five thousand years ago, the Germanic region was still a wilderness. Where did Klosten come from? Today's Klosten has only become the largest city in Europe with the rise of destiny in the past hundred years. How could it be known that this place name was known five thousand years ago?

No, if it is the end, it may not be impossible.

Su closed her eyes, her body was gradually losing its original temperature, and it seemed that her blood was also getting colder.

But soon, his blood boiled again, his eyes widened, and his face rarely became too red with excitement - he still didn't understand what Mikael meant, but since he said he wanted a fight, let's fight. !

The long-dissipated passion in his heart was inexplicably ignited, and he couldn't care about any plans to defeat Honkai for the moment. He only knew that he had had enough of these fifty thousand years, and just wanted to be with Mikael. Let's have a good fight!

"Erwin, answer Kevin's communication immediately!"
