The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

The blood-red lightning was hidden in the thick dark clouds, only occasionally revealing a little lightning as the clouds broke. Even so, the world was still a blood-red world. The red moon faithfully reflected all the light shining on it. Even if the lightning that emitted this light could completely destroy the world it had protected for more than four billion years, or even longer in a strict sense, it didn't matter.

It just didn't matter.

So what if the world was destroyed? After the destruction, there would naturally be a new reincarnation, and all it had to do was to leave a proof of its existence as a bystander for this world destined to be destroyed.

Of course, even if there was no reincarnation, what would it do? Even if the entire earth fell apart, it would naturally not be spared as a satellite of the earth, but so what?

It had no desires, because it had nothing it had to do. As long as it had no reason to exist, it naturally didn't matter if it was destroyed.

Even if... even if it really had a reason to exist, more than four billion plus tens of billions of fifty thousand years would be enough to erase that reason.

It may have been confused for a while because that reason no longer existed, and following the confusion, perhaps it was anger that wanted to be destroyed immediately...

Until time wiped out all emotions, including confusion and anger, so there was the moon now, which still existed but was no different from a dead object, or even equivalent to a "corpse".

"Humans are really amazing creatures. They are obviously a pile of broken copper and iron. They can't even kill people if they are taken apart separately, but when they are put together, tsk!"

The voice in her mind kept chattering, but Mei ignored it, just staring at the bean-sized black hole in front of her, swallowing hard.

It was indeed just a bean-sized black hole, maybe not even as big as Mei's eyeballs, but Mei stared at it, as if she was staring at a whole abyss that filled her entire vision and was bottomless.

Because she knew clearly that it was just such a small black hole, and she only needed to pull the trigger lightly...

The flames from the muzzle didn't even have time to enter her eyes, and then transmitted to the brain through the nerves, she was already dead.

"Tsk tsk tsk! I can't control your body now. If you want to kill me, this is indeed the best opportunity."

"Do you think I don't dare?"

Mei gritted her teeth and growled, then imitated the TV and trembled as she put the muzzle of the gun against her temple.

"Tsk! Stop kidding. If you really want to die, I suggest you put the muzzle of the gun in your mouth and shoot yourself. Do you know what shooting yourself means? With your action, your wrist strength is not enough, and you don't know how to hold the gun. When you pull the trigger, the muzzle of the gun rises... Tsk tsk! Crybaby, you don't want to be cut off half of your head by a bullet and still not die, right? Hahahaha!" Mei's face turned pale when she heard her words. The hand holding the gun trembled more and more violently, especially the index finger on the trigger, which was twitching back and forth like a cramp. It was not impossible to accidentally press the trigger. Mei knew this, and she persisted for about three seconds, and finally pulled the twitching index finger out of the trigger guard without leaving a trace. But soon she realized that every action of hers, no matter how small, no matter how hard she tried to cover it up, was useless in front of the owner of the voice in her mind. Who let them share the same body now? That is to say, at this moment, her cowardice in the face of the gun and death, her crazy obsession to live, are completely transparent to the voice in her mind.

But more of it is hatred...

Hate that she used her body to point the gun at Kiana, hate that she used her body to kill her "mother" with her own hands.

But no matter what, the person she hates the most is herself, Raiden Meiyi.

She can't figure it out, isn't it just death? What's there to be afraid of?

Isn't it just living? What's there to be attached to in this world?

Why did she muster up the courage to walk to the door of death countless times, as long as she took another step forward, no, half a step, no no no, just leaned forward slightly, all the sadness, anger, and unwillingness would disappear, and she would never hurt anyone again.

But why can't she do it?

Why do she want to live so desperately?

The irreversible tragedy finally happened. If she had cherished her life before, Meiyi would have a reason to excuse herself. But after this, she still couldn't make up her mind to die...

Why not die! Why not die! Why can't I make up my mind to die! Why do I lack that little bit of courage to die!

As she is now, what will happen if she continues to live? What can she do? What should she do?

She will hurt the people around her again, from countless irrelevant people to Mobius, who will be the next one? Is it Seele? Is it Bronya? Or Kiana?

Or even Mikael?

Ah...

How will she face Mikael? He has done so much for her, he should have saved her father by now. But she... She, Raiden Mei, killed him with her own hands...

How useless, shameless, despicable and selfish is she, Raiden Mei, to still have the face to live, and still have the face to want to live?

Why does she still have to breathe?

Even if she selfishly doesn't want to die, what about God? People like her deserve divine punishment, right?

Why can't a lightning bolt from the sky kill her? ?

No... I can't live like this... selfishly...

"Oh, I just used your hands to kill someone. As for hating me like this, do you also hate yourself, you crybaby?"

"It's just...what does it mean to just be? What does it mean to just kill someone?"

Mei Yi spoke word by word, using up all her strength on every word, so that ugly meridians rose up on her forehead.

It's ugly as long as it's ugly, no one will see it again.

"What's your attitude? Oh! Don't make any mistake, that woman came to kill you, and by doing this I saved your life. Shouldn't you thank me?"

"No, she is not!"

Meiyi held her head and roared loudly, but as soon as her voice came out, it was blown everywhere by the night wind, leaving only a trace of echo lingering around in the cold and dead buildings.

"If she really wanted to kill me, she could have done it when I was unconscious... She didn't want to kill me at all! She didn't want to kill me at all!! And... shouldn't I kill..."

"Ah--"

The Lawyer snorted softly, neither denying nor defending.

She is even less likely to admit her mistakes because she is not wrong at all.

At that moment, she truly felt the undisguised murderous intent from Mebius' stretched out hand - even though it was only an imperceptible moment, she knew that the woman in front of her was really capable of killing her. Not only for myself now, I am afraid that even if I really fully grasp the power in the Conquering Stone, it will not be enough.

Even when she was killed by him so easily, "The Herrscher" thought it was too darkly humorous, but her heart, which was torn out, could not be faked.

Naturally, she couldn't tell Mei Yi these things. With the young lady's naivety and preconceived prejudices, even if the "lawyer" said something bad, it would be impossible for her to believe her.

More importantly - a human being who has murderous intentions towards her and truly has the ability to kill herself, she can just kill her, so why bother explaining to this crybaby?

"Haha, you have to live or die every day, Raiden Meiyi, you only have so much ability. Oh, you are still a coward, you keep saying you deserve to die, and you keep begging others to kill you... Hahaha, what kind of coward, you can't even kill you I don’t even have the courage, so I can only ask others to kill me hahaha... Well, let me tell you, one of the reasons why you resent me for killing your mother Mebius is that you did it for yourself Isn’t it a pity that I couldn’t die in her hands? This is too ridiculous!”

"Ahhh! Shut up!"

The heat radiating from the bottom of her heart gradually turned from warm to scorching, constantly impacting the fragile and slender brain nerves. Until there was a "boom", Meiyi clearly felt something in her mind breaking, and then the wave of heat almost threatened to break. The burning heat that burned the entire brain rushed in.

Her vision became blurred, and tears covered her cheeks at some point. His brain was too groggy to issue any instructions, but his body jumped up from the ground.

The world in her sight began to spin, and she stumbled to the ground with her head heavy, but her body suddenly held her breath.

No, not only breathing, tears no longer flow outwards, hands and feet no longer twitch, even the surrounding wind and the faint sound of thunderstorms in the sky have disappeared, leaving only one or two gentle sounds in my ears. sobbing.

Have you calmed down?

Or are you forced to accept everything this terrible reality has in store for you?

neither.

The next moment, she clenched her right fist tightly and hit it heavily on the floor of the rooftop.

"boom--"

The collision of flesh and cement produced nothing more than a soft, feeble sound.

"Ho!"

"boom--"

"snort!"

"boom--"

"Uh-huh!"

"Bang-bang-"

"Ahhhhh——"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Nervous screams and bloody collisions sounded again and again, and the Herrscher in the conscious world couldn't help but frown. Although this pain didn't matter to her, this was after all...

This is her body after all...

"Okay, you..."

She had just said half a sentence when Mei Yi's screams stopped, leaving almost a puddle of flesh. You could still faintly see the broken bone residue on her right hand, which was like a hammer. Throwing it to the ground.

After shaking it twice more, even the hand stopped moving.

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

Meiyi's cheeks rubbed against the rough concrete floor. She probably had too much air coming out and too little air coming in. In addition, her tears blocked her respiratory tract, and her whole body twitched due to lack of oxygen.

The first thing to feel the coldness and numbness was the chest. Every alveoli was trying hard to shrink itself inward, squeezing out the little remaining air from the body. After one mouthful, there was another, and every movement of inhaling was interrupted by exhalation. After about ten seconds, the numbness gradually spread from the trunk to the limbs.

At first, the limbs would twitch symbolically twice, but the twitching soon stopped.

Her eyelids closed heavily, but what greeted her was not darkness. After the last ray of light was swallowed up, what greeted her was blood red.

"Ah!"

The consciousness of "The Herrscher" let out a contemptuous sneer.

That's it?

"She thought she could die like this? She was so naive."

Yeah, so naive.

"Ho!"

A few minutes later, Mei sat up straight. The pain in the wound on her right hand had been temporarily stopped by norepinephrine and other neurotransmitters. At the moment, she just felt confused - was she dead?

Probably dead? So this is the world after death? Is it no different from reality? Or is he just floating here as a soul at this moment?

The voice in her head quickly broke her delusion:

"You are really...unfortunate. There are many ways to kill a being like you. Unfortunately, suffocation is not included."

The body structure of a Herrscher seems to be the same as that of others. Of course, piercing the heart and cutting off the head can kill a Herrscher, but after all, the Herrscher is a special species that only needs Honkai energy to survive, and it has the ability to survive in a vacuum. The ability to survive will naturally not die due to temporary suffocation.

"That's enough, okay? Are you satisfied now? How do you feel about death? If you've had enough fun and trouble, just give your body to me."

"..."

"Come again? Haha!"

Seeing Mei Yi's confused look, "The Herrscher" felt annoyed for no reason.

"Since you insist on this, let me tell you another secret. Do you know why I was able to take over your body before? Hahaha, wasn't it because you, a fool, took the initiative to hand over control of your body to me before? Well, So please give yourself more of your hatred. It is precisely because of your own incompetence that you need to use my power, which gives me an opportunity, isn't it?"

After listening to "The Herrscher"'s words, Mei Yi stood up with empty eyes.

The amount of neurotransmitters secreted in her brain became less and less, and the pain in her right hand became clearer and clearer, but she didn't care anymore.

She leaned over and picked up the pistol on the ground, and just like the Herrscher taught her, she put the barrel into her mouth.

"Ha! You look a little braver than before, but are you sure you want to do this? Are you ready to face death?"

Meiyi didn't give any response.

At first, her left hand holding the gun was still shaking a little, and the smell of oil in the barrel made her want to vomit.

But gradually, as the wind picked up her long purple hair little by little, she raised her head, and the red moon floated above her head quietly, silently.

Then her heart and body calmed down at the same time. Only the index finger of her left hand exerted slight pressure, and the oppressive trigger moved backward.

"Clang-"

"boom!"

The sound of gunshots and the sound of the iron door being kicked open rang out at the same time. Meiyi stared blankly at the still smoking muzzle of the gun in her hand, and a nameless anger once again overwhelmed all reason in her mind.

The moment the iron door was kicked open, her body trembled, the muzzle of the gun slipped out of her mouth, and pointed at the sky because of the posture of her left hand.

In the end, the bullet that was supposed to take her life flew past her forehead, taking away only a handful of bangs on her forehead.

Why?

Once, twice... it happens again and again!

"Why can't you just let me die! Why!!!"

Mei slapped the pistol on the ground. She finally plucked up the courage to shoot herself, but she failed again by mistake.

But one thing can't be the other, so she doesn't have the courage to shoot herself anymore.

But it doesn't matter, she still has the last method, she still has the last way to die that she has reserved for herself from the beginning...

Looking at the white-haired girl who rushed towards her shouting her name, Mei Yi showed a slight smile, then turned around resolutely and stepped up the steps of the rooftop with her right foot.

"Mei, no!"

"Farewell, Kiana..."

Meiyi opened and closed her lips gently, making almost no sound.

Of course, it was impossible for Kiana to hear or see the movements of her lips, but... that's fine.

She held onto the iron railing with her left hand and did not hesitate again because she had already closed her eyes.

The sense of loss of control caused by closing her eyes made her unconsciously lean forward, and then her whole body turned over and fell towards the ground dozens of floors below.
