The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"ah!"

Mei Yi suddenly sat up from the ground, the surrounding wind gently blowing her hair. She turned her head and looked at the half-remaining rubble and ruins around her, looking a little dull. And for a long time from now on, there was only deep confusion in her eyes.

Until there was another soft hum next to her, she turned her head and saw Bronya sitting up from the ground, covering her forehead.

Seeing her familiar companion, Mei Yi's breathing suddenly became longer. Her originally heavy eyelids were raised quickly, and the memories of everything that had happened before were rushing back and forth in her mind, until at this moment, they finally settled into a rough shape.

"Bronya, are you okay?"

Bronya still supported her head and shook her head vigorously. She wanted to say something, but her throat was too dry, so she coughed several times in a row.

She patted her chest hard, then suddenly remembered something, and groped around her wildly and helplessly.

"Xie'er!"

Fortunately, it didn't take much effort before she touched the body of another girl.

Xi'er did not wake up like she and Mei Yi did. Bronya checked her heartbeat and breathing, and felt relieved - no matter what, as long as the person is still alive.

But she soon thought of another thing that had been ignored in that "illusion" before.

Everything that happened before was both absurd and shocking. The past, the Herrscher, Mikael, Seele who was completely different from the past, and finally Mikael’s warning from the past... too many shocking points came together to attract Bronya’s attention, so that She didn't remember until now - was there someone missing in that "illusion" called the past?

"Sister Mei, how is Kiana?"

But she was really over-worrying. It was as if she had groped Xi'er's body as soon as her mind stabilized. After Mei Yi reacted, she had already found Kiana lying next to her.

Hearing Bronya's inquiry at this time, she lifted Kiana's upper body up and shook her head at Bronya helplessly.

The world suddenly became peaceful, and Bronya heard Kiana's snoring.

"This... this idiot, is she asleep?"

Well, this is very Kiana... Well, this is very similar to what Kiana can do.

Bronya and Mei looked at each other, and they were somewhat relieved.

Although they still don't understand what happened before, it seems that they are not in danger. Xi'er and Kiana are just unconscious and asleep.

But their eyes quickly changed from confusion to...

Bronya blinked:

"Sister Meiyi, do we... have to perform any other tasks?"

Meiyi blinked. Her first reaction was to touch the communication device, but a voice sounded behind them first:

"Are you...also the Valkyrie of Destiny?"

The two people's first memories gradually came back. The green-haired girl sitting in the wheelchair lowered her head, hunched her shoulders, and asked questions softly.

Mei Yi and Bronya looked at each other, and finally Mei Yi answered:

"Yes, the four of us are all Valkyries from the Far East Branch. Are you... No, you just said 'yeah', could it be..."

"Well, a Valkyrie team came before. After confirming my safety, their captain ordered them to search for survivors in the base. Then I never saw them again. I don't know what happened, but It’s not easy for me to go to them now.”

Listening to her plain talk, Bronya and Mei unconsciously lowered their gazes to her legs, which were tightly wrapped in multiple layers of bandages.

"You...your legs, this is where they gave you first aid...No, that's not right!"

Bronya quickly denied her suspicion.

"There is no blood on the bandage, and this is not the way to treat a broken bone... Your leg became like this before you met them, right?"

The green-haired girl's eyes flickered, and she nodded hesitantly.

"Yes, there is something wrong with my legs. For the time being... I can only sit in a wheelchair."

Bronya wrung her hands in front of her chest and frowned. Only now did she realize that the girl's upper body was wearing a cyan hospital gown commonly used during surgery.

To be honest, from the time she was inexplicably dragged into that illusion until now, her brain has had a dizzy and unrealistic feeling. But the further time goes back, the clearer her thoughts become, and she realizes it almost instantly There are too many doubts:

How did a girl who was so disabled that she could only sit in a wheelchair and unable to stand survive when the entire base was destroyed by the Herrscher? In fact, there was not a single injury on the whole body.

If Team Snow Lotus is still there, we can still ask them about the situation, but according to what the girl in front of me said, all members of Team Snow Lotus disappeared mysteriously after seeing her...

Is he really missing?

Bronya changed her posture without leaving any trace, and her left hand had already touched the pistol on Xi'er's waist. She and Mei were supporting Xi'er and Kiana. If her suspicion came true, escape would be impossible.

"Well, may I ask what your identity is... are you also the Valkyrie of the Destiny Oceania branch?"

Bronya's eyes carefully scanned the girl's hospital gown and wheelchair, but found nothing that could be used to prove her identity.

However, it was not without unexpected discoveries. For example, at the moment when "Destiny" was mentioned, the girl in front of her buried her head in her chest, and then replied in a low voice:

"Yes, I am the A-level Valkyrie of the Oceania branch, Wendy."

She silently omitted "destiny".

"It's...nice to meet you, Miss Wendy. This is the B-level Valkyrie Mei, and Bronya is the B-level Valkyrie Bronya...ahem!"

Bronya only felt a little numb on the top of her head. Even she didn't know how to deal with the situation at this moment.

Fortunately, along with a harsh current noise, Ji Zi's urgent voice soon came to my ears:

"Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Xi'er, how are you?"

Bronya took the opportunity to take a step back, signaled to Mei, and then began to respond to Himeko:

"Bronya and sister Mei are fine. Xi'er and Kiana seem to have fallen asleep. What happened just now? Was the communication cut off?"

"Yes, the specific reason is unknown. It is estimated that it is caused by too dense Honkai energy. It seems that the new quantum communication technology must be implemented quickly, haha."

Bronya didn't know whether Jizi wanted to liven up the atmosphere with a cold joke, but it really had nothing to do with being funny, but it was quite cold.

"Just now we contacted the S-class Valkyrie Glandelle. She was supposed to rush to you, but Mikael and Rita had abnormal Honkai energy reactions. It was speculated that it was Herrscher, Glandelle Prioritize support over there, and your priority here is to search for the survivors of the Snow Lotus Team and the Oceania Branch. You don’t need to worry about the battle over there.”

"ah?"

Bronya swirled her tongue in her mouth, and glanced at Wendy in surprise. By chance, the other party also raised her head as if feeling something, and her eyes met hers.

"hiss……"

Bronya turned her head away in embarrassment—could it be that she was too worried?

But no matter what, Wendy is a survivor of the Oceania branch, and she should report it to Jizi for reasons and reasons.

"Reporting to Major Jizi, we have found a survivor of the Oceania branch. She calls herself the A-class Valkyrie, Wendy."

"Oh? You guys are quite fast. Let me verify the information. If there is indeed this person, I will send Wendy's information to your terminal later. You can just confirm it...hiss... No, Wendy...Wendy, it sounds familiar... Theresa, come and see this child, do you have any impressions?"

Bronya curled her lips. She was not confused by what Jizi said was "somewhat familiar." She is not an idiot like Kiana who doesn't ask about anything. Just look at the Valkyrie Forum and you will know that even now, the education model of St. Freya Academy has mixed reviews within Destiny, not to mention In the early years when the academy was first established, in order to compete with other branches for Valkyrie students, Himeko ran all over her destiny. She would even have private interviews with many talented Valkyrie students. It should be normal for her to be familiar with Wendy. Right?

Just as she was thinking this, Theresa's voice sounded over the communication:

"Wendy? Wendy from the Oceania branch? Are you sure it's her?"

"yes."

Bronya answered quickly.

"Yes... it's her... She was also a genius-level Valkyrie at the time. As a non-stigma awakener, she had extremely strong talents. She was once considered to be the third S-class female of the Destiny generation. The choice of the God of War.”

"The third S-class Valkyrie?"

Bronya looked at Wendy with some surprise. If she hadn't looked so young...she and Bronya should be about the same age, right?

"I checked it with my permissions and found it. Wendy, the A-level Valkyrie of the Far East Branch of Oceania, participated in the XXX mission in 2014 and was disabled due to injuries? What the hell, my permissions can't even check the name of this mission? "

Himeko's voice sounded very dissatisfied. In Tianming, the A-level Valkyrie seemed to be just the background for the S-level Valkyrie, but in fact, the bishop had the highest authority and treatment in Tianming, followed by the S-level Valkyrie. Next is the A-level Valkyrie. S-class Valkyries are not a big deal. For example, a long time ago, after Cecilia's death, there was no S-class Valkyrie in Destiny for more than ten years. At this time, A-class is the top existence among the Valkyries. If A Things that even a super-level Valkyrie can't check are already secrets among secrets.

"Oh, by the way, Theresa, don't you have the authority? Come and try it?"

"Oh... there's no need to check, I'll tell you directly. Himeko, do you still remember what Grandpa Otto said to Rita before, right?"

"What... no way, you mean, you want gems!?"

"Yes, I have checked it secretly before, because the desire gem is the core of the Herrscher after all, ordinary people cannot control such a powerful ability, and destiny obviously cannot let an S-class Valkyrie take such a big risk... So, The final candidate was Wendy. Judging from the results, the experiment was successful and failed. The desire gem was successfully implanted in Wendy's leg, but she could not fully bear the power, so she legs..."

"how so……"

Bronya opened her mouth dejectedly, but she didn't know what to say or what to say.

"So, craving for gems and conquering gems are the same thing? Wendy also has..."

Meiyi, who had been keeping quiet, suddenly spoke, but no one thought her question was unexpected. In other words, it was expected that she would ask this question.

"Yes, the core of the Conquering Gem and the Desire Gem are both essentially the core of the Herrscher."

"That is to say, there is a Herrscher's consciousness in Wendy, right?"

Mei Yi asked again.

"yes."

Theresa answered without hesitation, but she quickly regretted it:

"Ah...no...your situation does not represent all Herrschers. What is going on with Wendy, we can't say..."

"No, I don't. I am who I am and I don't sense another consciousness."

Wendy shook her head numbly. Although her legs were disabled, her physical fitness as a Valkyrie or as a "Herrscher" allowed her to clearly hear what several people said in the communication.

"Wendy..."

Meiyi clenched her hands sadly, bit her lower lip, and smiled softly.

"It's okay Wendy, come back with us to the Far East Branch, we will find a way to help you."

"Help...me? Haha, help me?"

Wendy raised her head and looked at the dark blue sky, her eyes were empty and unfocused, but there was a trace of incomprehension and doubt in her tone.

"It's us……"

"Aren't you the Valkyries of Destiny? I will no longer believe in Destiny, or anyone else in Destiny. You should just kill me."

Wendy's words directly caused Mei Yi's smile to freeze on her face.

"Mei."

Theresa's voice sounded in the communication, but it was turned down to the minimum.

"Mei, please be sure to bring Wendy back alive. Only you can do it. As for the rest of the pressure, the academy will resist it all."

If there is anyone here who can understand Wendy best, it is no one except Mei.

She used to be the princess of ME Club, and she used to be the A-level Valkyrie with the strongest destiny talent. They both have bright futures.

But everything changed because of that little gem. In comparison, Mei felt that she was really lucky enough. Although the Herrscher of Thunder once occupied her body and caused irreparable disaster, she succeeded in With everyone's help, the Herrscher's power was suppressed, and her body was not damaged as a result... Ah, no... She moved the joints of her right hand. There was a prosthetic leg made for her by Mikael who didn't know what technology he used. , although it was a prosthetic limb, it felt like flesh and blood, and it only took a thought to control it. If it was injured during a battle, it would bleed. She once wondered whether this was not a prosthetic limb at all...

Wait, that’s right!

Mei Yi suddenly stretched out her right hand in front of Wendy.

"Wendy, my name is Raiden Mei. During the collapse of Changkong City two years ago, I was chosen to become the Herrscher of Thunder."

Wendy lowered her head and looked at her calmly, seemingly without any reaction. Also, in the phone call with Himeko and Theresa just now, Mei also mentioned the conquest of gems and Herrschers. Of course, Wendy would not be surprised by this.

"My arm has been amputated before. Now look at it, can you tell it's a prosthetic arm?"

Wendy tilted her head slightly and looked away.

But for some reason, she still raised her right hand very consciously, and then held Mei Yi's hand.

"this……"

Her eyes widened in an instant. The palms of her hands were soft, warm, and sticky with sweat. It was obvious...

"You lied to me, this is not a prosthetic limb at all!"

"You don't have to believe it, but I don't need to lie to you. Although I can't guarantee that we can completely cure you, at least there is hope, right?"

Wendy's brows trembled violently, her breathing was heavy, and one hand tightly grasped the armrest of the wheelchair.

For a long time, she relaxed all over, leaned back on the wheelchair, looked up at the sky feebly, but said nothing more.

Seeing this, Yayi quickly continued to recount:

"Wendy...I know that Tianming has caused...such harm to you...but please believe in us. Our Tianming Far East branch is different from...uh...us. Look at me, am I not the law?" My name is Raiden Mei. As a Valkyrie, you should know the information about Changkong City. Even if you haven’t seen it, you still have the right to search it, right? The branch lives freely, and can even go on the battlefield against Honkai. You were once the best A-level Valkyrie, you can definitely do better than me!"

"The Far East Branch..."

Wendy muttered silently, and suddenly, there was some light in her eyes.

"The Far East Branch... No, I remembered, you are... St. Freya Academy, right?"

"Yes, I didn't expect you to know the name of the academy."

"hehe……"

Wendy suddenly laughed miserably.

"Actually... when I first became a Valkyrie, I met Himeko who came to the Oceania branch to preach. I hesitated for a long time, but in the end I didn't choose to go to St. Freya Academy... Unfortunately, if I had been more determined... …”

"It's not too late!"

Mei Yi held Wendy's hand forcefully.

"No matter what happens, it won't get worse. Trust us, Wendy!"

Wendy closed her eyes silently and remained silent for more than ten seconds. Meiyi did not rush her, but just waited quietly.

"good."

Wendy agreed.

A heartfelt smile appeared on Mei Yi's face.

"Ahem, well, it's great that Miss Wendy is willing to trust us, but... Sister Mei, Principal, Himeko, there is something I don't know whether to say or not..."

"speak."

"Well...if Wendy, who is carrying the Desire Gem, is here, what exactly did Mikael and the others encounter over there?"
