The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Who are you……"

Rita raised her arms to slightly shield herself from the sand and gravel blown by the wind. The girl walking towards them stopped five steps in front of the two of them. This distance was enough to clearly see the outline of her body, but not enough to clearly see her clothes and facial features...

But Rita still felt a familiar feeling, and her intuition told her that she should have seen this girl before.

Who is it?

No... Is she the Herrscher of Wind? Rita mentally eliminated the option.

After all, she is an S-class Valkyrie. She has retrieval authority for most of the information in Destiny, and she also knows who the Valkyrie is who holds the desired gem...

The talented Valkyrie named Wendy has short hair, and look at the flying long hair of the person in front of her...it's obviously not the same person.

Not to mention, Wendy couldn't even stand up.

But if it's not the Herrscher of Wind, what's going on with the wind? It can't be another coincidence, right?

"who are you?"

Rita covered her mouth and tried to ask aloud.

But the sound that can be made in this way is limited, and as soon as it comes out, it is carried behind by the wind.

She looked at Mikael again, only to see that the other man was still standing there indifferently, but his eyelids were drooped, making it difficult to see his expression.

The three of them stood silently in the wind, without anyone making a move first.

"You don't need to be so pretentious in front of me, right?"

It seemed like a long time had passed before Mikael suddenly spoke against the wind, speaking in the same soft voice, but the voice echoed extremely clearly, as if it was free from the influence of the fluid and did not need any medium to propagate.

The girl opposite did not respond, but the wind did gradually decrease. In just three or two minutes, all the sand and stones were silent, and the face of the girl opposite finally became clear.

Mikael raised his eyebrows, the facts seemed to be different from what he thought. Rita called out the name of the visitor with some surprise:

"Anna?"

The girl in front of him didn't react, nor did she rush to attack. Rita glanced at Mikael from the corner of her eye and explained concisely:

"Anna Shaniat, A-level Valkyrie, captain of the Snow Lotus Team."

When he heard that familiar last name, the corners of Mikael's mouth twitched. But he quickly shook his head vigorously and said firmly:

"She is not Anna, at least not the person standing in front of us."

After hearing Mikael's words, the girl in front of her finally curled her lips. She grabbed the combat uniform on her left arm and tore off the sleeve with a hiss. Near her elbow, a bright red pattern was glowing dimly.

"What does it mean?"

Rita moved sideways bit by bit, seemingly moving away from Mikael, but in fact she was just trying to double-team from the flank while the opponent's attention was focused on Mikael.

"Anna" glanced at her, but didn't stop her.

Mikael stroked the stubble on his chin, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment. He looked at the shiny stigmata. Fifty thousand years later, an ominous premonition emerged in his heart again.

Everything is gradually deviating from his predetermined trajectory, even the original trajectory of this world...

His vision dimmed, but at this moment of distraction, Anna's figure had disappeared from where he was.

"boom!"

Mikael crossed his arms in front of him and easily received the oncoming punch. Anna in front of him missed the blow, twisted her waist directly, leaned over the ground, and swept her leg with her whip, but Mikael had already Taking advantage of the strength when receiving the punch, Anna took two steps back, causing Anna's blow to miss again.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a sound of breaking through the air from behind, but Anna turned a blind eye.

Seeing that she did not dodge his attack, Rita finally hesitated for a moment, and the speed of swinging the scythe slowed down a bit, and in the end she only had time to cut off a few of Anna's hair.

"drink!"

She curled up her body, hunched her shoulders, and slammed into Mikael's arms like a cannonball. Mikael crossed his legs and only took half a step back. When he wanted to fight back, the other party also took a step ahead and used the reaction force to move back. Fly away.

Mikael gritted his teeth, how could this intangible combat method...

"Rita!"

The carbon-based stalker rushed behind Anna before Rita herself, but the latter just tapped her toes on the ground to quickly turn around in mid-air and punched the stalker from head to tail. Wear it right.

She swung her arm, and the stalker's body with green arcs of electricity hit Rita, but was cut open with a scythe by the other party without hesitation.

But Anna smiled.

When Rita's scythe swung down again, she had not yet hit the ground, but she quickly curled up, and the scythe that was supposed to cut her in half happened to step on the sole of her foot, and was suddenly stepped on by her.

"ha!"

Rita held the scythe in both hands and tried to throw Anna directly into the air, but this played into Anna's plan.

She jumped into the air again, and rolled quickly until she reached the top of Mikael's head, and her long slender legs were driven down by the inertia.

"boom--"

The entire ground was cracked, and the rising dust once again obscured the view.

This time, before Mikael could even fight back, Anna jumped back again.

"careful!"

Mikael warned, but did not take any substantive action.

Rita looked around warily when she heard the sound, and then, just when the dust that had been raised earlier was about to disperse and her vision suddenly became clear, Anna's figure suddenly appeared in front of and below her.

"Well!"

Her pupils shrank, and she didn't have time to react. She was punched hard in the lower abdomen. Her body almost flattened in an instant, and she even left a string of sonic booms when she flew backwards.

In the process of flying upside down, it was not that Rita didn't try to struggle, but she didn't know what happened to the waist and abdomen where she had been punched earlier. The muscles there couldn't work at all, and she couldn't even feel the pain, as if her body's That area simply disappeared.

"What's this?"

Rita's brain is racing, and being able to become an S-class Valkyrie requires outstanding strength, but quick thinking is also indispensable.

It only took her two breaths to think of her comrade's weapon - the Black Abyss White Flower!

Is this... the special ability of Shaniyat's stigmata?

She opened her mouth to say something, but a trace of green and black had spread down her neck, and she had lost control of the muscles in her body.

"Snapped--"

Anna appeared from behind her and used her body to help her stop her flying backwards.

But before she could react again, a knife hit her on the back of the head.

It wasn't until Rita's body collapsed on the beach that Mikael chased after her unhurriedly.

"It seems that this comrade is also a trouble for you."

Anna finally spoke. Mikael tried to find something out of her wording habits, but unfortunately, maybe the other party deliberately simplified and changed the style of wording, or maybe Mikael was really not familiar with the person who controlled Anna's body. He didn't see any clues from this.

He tilted his head, his voice as smooth as ever:

"After all...there are some things I don't want her to hear."

The corners of Anna's mouth seemed to curl up, but it was fleeting.

"Then take a guess, who am I?"

Mikael stared at the stigmata on his arm and pursed his lips unconsciously.

"You should... control this body through the stigmata, right? Can the World Serpent already do this?"

Anna tilted her head and frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Mikael's incorrect answer.

Seeing that the girl in front of him didn't answer, Mikael could only continue talking on his own:

"Stigmata, it is like a huge network, connecting everyone. Every Stigmata awakener is a terminal in it. It is not impossible in theory to use one terminal to remotely control another terminal. But in general Under the circumstances, special bloodlines like Shaniyat will be more closely connected with each other. I don’t think an ordinary stigma holder can unleash the potential of a Shaniyat body to this extent.”

"Even if you are right, so, have you guessed who I am?"

"Anna" raised her chin proudly. This unfamiliar posture made Mikael swallow back the words "Eve" that he almost blurted out.

Although Mikael only really spent that night with Eve, in her impression, the child was very much like her mother and would not make such an extremely arrogant look...

But other than her, which other "Shaniyat" can unleash the potential of a completely unfamiliar body with incompletely awakened stigmata to such an extent?

Besides, it seems that this action alone cannot rule out her suspicion. After all, the other party may also be hoping to confuse the audience so that Mikael cannot distinguish her identity.

As for why the dead still appear? What if Eve left a memory in the Paradise of the Past? Is it not impossible?

Thinking of this, Mikael's heart surged with an urge to go to the paradise of the afterlife regardless of the situation. However, this was still not comparable to the weight of fifty thousand years. He just took two deep breaths and successfully regained his composure. .

Then, he reported the answer without hesitation:

"You are...Eve."

Reciting this name that had special meaning to him, Mikael felt in a trance.

Only then did he realize that his inferences from beginning to end were just wishful thinking without logic. The reason why he thought the other party should be Eve was just that he had hoped that the other party would be Eve from the beginning...that's all.

"Eve...Eve Shaniat?"

"Anna" nodded and did not deny it.

But Mikael already knew the answer.

"I also have a question. Why did you...World Snake get involved in this matter?"

The girl blinked and replied without hesitation:

"you guess?"

The corners of Mikael's mouth twitched.

"Don't think about using the power of consciousness to cheat. You should understand that this power has no meaning for those who have fully awakened the ability of Shaniyat's stigmata."

Yes, that is her ability after all.

"hehe."

Before he said anything, the girl sneered again:

"Why do you think I will answer your question? Although it is common sense to ask and answer, you didn't answer it correctly just now, right?"

"..."

Mikael lowered his head, not knowing what he should say or what else he could say.

"Your fighting style is very similar to hers."

"Oh, have you really seen her?"

Ana shook her head, her face full of disdain.

Mikael didn't explain anymore. He and she in her mouth were not even the same person. He meant Alicia, but she meant Eve Shaniat.

He knew that the other party had misunderstood his words, but there seemed to be no need to explain.

"Tsk! Considering that you are somewhat of an ancestor of Shaniyat... I will let you die more comfortably!"

The next moment, the two figures collided with each other again.

"boom!"

The thick pink crystal shattered and turned into crystal dust that filled the sky. This was already the eighth layer of crystal that Anna had shattered in one second.

Mikael just backed away indifferently. He pretended to be relaxed and snapped his fingers. The crystals flying around seemed to be pulled by gravity and they were all collected back to him. Anna, who had left these crystals behind, naturally also These crystals are the only way to recover them.

"snort!"

Anna pulled the corner of her mouth to one side, and a shattered crystal that was not much different from the one constructed by Mikael just now appeared behind her, blocking most of the shattered crystals for her.

As for those things that could not be blocked at wrong angles, or those that had approached her body before, she did not care, and those crystal fragments still left countless scratches and blood marks on her body, because, even if she did not use them intentionally With the power of the stigmata, such a trivial injury was completely healed in less than a second.

Mikael's eyes became more and more profound - it was impossible for an unknown person to develop the power of Shaniyat's stigmata to this extent, but who was it? Mikael couldn't guess the exact answer. After all, in a family like Shaniyat, almost every generation can have qualified geniuses. It is really difficult to accurately find the target among these hundreds of generations.

Of course, there is also a reason why the other party hides it too well.

Suddenly, a name came to his mind. Although he ruled out that possibility in the next moment. She was killed by Mebius, and her talent was only mediocre among Shaniyat...

"Tsk!"

There were so many things in Mikael's mind that he almost gave up fighting and only defended instead of attacking.

He suddenly remembered something even more embarrassing - who used the Key of the Fourth God here?

Could it be that...the World Snake is also going to escape his control?

If that's the case, that name is not impossible. It can only be said that Mebius has been... since then...

Or is there something wrong with World Snake?

No matter what, after this matter was dealt with, Mikael had already made up his mind to go to the paradise.

Mikael's mind became clearer, and he easily raised his hand to receive a punch. Then he pressed his wrist down, easily crushing the opponent's hand bones, and then pushed forward sharply to create a small distance.

"Although it is a very good level among Shaniyat, you are not so naive as to think that this is enough to kill me, are you?"

As Mikael said this, his eyes glanced around unconsciously.

As he said, the girl in front of him has maximized the potential of this body, but even so, trying to defeat him at this level is simply... not worthy of being described as a fantasy.

What's more, if the girl is behind the world snake, it is impossible to make such a mistake.

In other words, the opponent must still have a killer move that is useless.

But what exactly is that?

"Anna" seemed to feel that she was being looked down upon. She patted her chest hard, her hand movements froze for a moment, and then she shouted in a somewhat explosive voice:

"Why are you looking at me like this? It's all because this body's talent is so poor that it can't exert...one ten thousandth of its power!"

"Who knows, maybe your real talent is not as good as this body."

Mikael teased with a smile.

As expected, the girl's face showed an angry look, but Mikael's eyes dimmed, and he felt that he was one step closer to that suspicion.

"Are you still fighting?"

he asked a little tiredly.

"Anna" didn't answer, but suddenly looked up at the eastern sky, where there seemed to be an extremely tiny point of light...

"not good!"

The alarm bell rang in Mikael's heart, and the pink crystal immediately enveloped him completely. At the last moment when the crystal was forming a cocoon, a blue-white slender lance tore through the air and took Mikael and the crystal together. Through.

"Lord Youlandel!"

Anna stepped aside, and the next second, the blond woman fell from the sky and landed beside her.

"Hey! That's too much."

Mikael wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pulled out the Helel of Eternal Silence from his heart, and held it in his hand. As for the fatal wound on the heart, recovery began as early as the moment the spear was pulled out.

Youlandel lifted her blond hair and neatly tied it into a high ponytail to prevent it from affecting the battle. In just a short time, the injury on the heart of the man opposite him disappeared. Her eyes suddenly became extremely serious, and she listed this guy as the most dangerous opponent she had ever encountered.

Um? Why would you consider this man an enemy?

She had already made contact with Hyperion, but the Honkai energy erupting here was too strong, and the bishop on Hyperion also temporarily modified her mission and asked her to rush here...

As a result, what she saw when she arrived was her comrade Rita lying aside, and Anna Shaniat, whom she had met several times before, was confronting another man. Who was the enemy? It seemed like there was no need to think too much, right?

"well……"

Mikael sighed softly and said in a tone that only he could hear:

"What is this? A mixed doubles match between grandparents and grandchildren?"
