The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"boom!"

"boom!"

The fists were intertwined, and Hua pushed outwards. Mikael's wrist hurt. Before he could make any reaction, Hua grabbed him back.

Then, from turning around to falling on his back, the whole process came to an extreme. The sound of Mikael's body smashing the armor plate and the sound of the two's wrists colliding sounded almost at the same instant, so that the latter completely covered up the existence of the former.

After a few breaths, the smoke dissipated, and Mikael fell in the shallow pit under the armor plate, his head raised slightly, and Hua's fist was only an inch away from his forehead.

"Why don't you keep fighting?"

Mikael's tone was so calm that you couldn't even hear any doubts. He even simply gave up his posture of resistance, his head fell backwards, and he lay directly in the pit, as if someone just needed to shovel dirt on it.

Hua kept her punching posture unchanged. Admittedly, judging from the current situation, her punch could be landed. With the speed shown by the two of them just now, Mikael had no time to dodge.

Maybe this punch could make this man's head fire like Otto's not long ago.

But this is all possible, "based on the current situation." What the two were engaging in was just the most basic fist fight, not even a warm-up. Of course Hua knew this very well.

There is not much difference between whether the punch is struck or not.

"Haha, when I competed with you in St. Freya before, I thought you were letting yourself off on purpose, but I didn't expect...Mikael, you...have regressed a lot."

Mikael shook his head slightly, Hua was telling the truth.

"Well, I'm not good at fists, kicks or weapons. Besides, there's no one in this world that I need to use these fighting techniques to solve. However, most of these techniques were taught by you, right?"

Hua's brows furrowed inwards. She hated Mikael's current tone of voice, which was lifeless and incapable of feeling any emotion at all.

Whether the sadness or anger that should have been present was suppressed, or whether it never existed at all.

Of course, there is another explanation for this dislike - Hua is also very clear that at certain times, in certain places, and in the eyes of certain people, she herself looks like this. What she hates may not be the dullness itself, but the connection that this identical dullness creates between the two.

Her mind was in a daze for a moment, and even her pupils trembled slightly, but then she saw the smile on the corner of Mikael's mouth.

"!"

The originally clear sky suddenly turned extremely gray. From the corner of his eye, Hua even caught a glimpse of his own hair that was floating...

The next moment, lightning fell from the sky like rain, stirring up the unextinguished flames on the floating port. There were explosions everywhere for a while, and the fire also took the opportunity to spread again.

"Don't get me wrong, Hua, I'm just giving Xilin some time to adapt to her body."

Mikael patted the non-existent dust and stood up slowly. A hundred meters in front of him, Hua's black hair was as white as snow, leaving only a negligible trace on his forehead and ends. red.

"Mikael, I can understand that you have put aside everything in the past and want to return to being a Herrscher and return to your true duties in the end? Or is it that you have been controlled by Honkai?"

At this moment, Hua was completely unable to understand Mikael's behavior, perhaps because she could not fully see her own memory, nor could she regain her trust and understanding of Mikael. She already...dare not trust him completely anymore...maybe...

But despite this, she still didn't want to believe the answer.

"No, you don't have to do this. Sure enough... your purpose is still for her... but Mikael, if you really succeed, do you think she can accept the mistakes you made to bring her back to the world? ?”

Mikael's brows were raised and his head tilted, as if he heard something strange.

"What makes you think you know her better than I do?"

His chest rose and fell slowly.

"Have you seen her tears before she died? Have you heard her choked up and said she wanted to live? You have experienced nothing and you don't understand anything. At that time, we were competing with each other for the world. The opportunity to sacrifice, we both want each other to survive and take our share to witness the future of the world... What happened? When I returned to reality, I saw that all her sacrifices had become a joke. Whether you admit it or not, when there are only 30,000 Fire Moths left among the seven billion human beings, our civilization will no longer exist..."

"so what?"

After so many years, Hua thought that Mikael would never respond to the original incident. Perhaps as he said, he wanted to buy Siren time to adapt to her new body. After all, if she was really serious about fighting, how long could she hold on in his hands?

Fortunately, time is also very important to Hua, especially after the Hyperion was smoothly transferred out of the battlefield by Sirin. Although they have already had a plan to deal with this situation, it would be best if they could use conventional means to delay it for some time.

As for that explanation, it seems to have little meaning to Hua.

If this explanation had appeared five hundred years ago, she would have still remembered many things in the past and could have responded somewhat.

But now Hua... is no longer good.

She could only ask the words that could express any doubt:

"so what?"

"So? Isn't this obvious? She sacrificed everything for mankind. It's just that mankind failed to live up to her sacrifice and made everything she paid meaningless. But if the results are thrown away, since she once served Human beings have sacrificed everything, so are humans ready to use their own efforts to get her back?”

"You're crazy!"

Mikael's answer did not surprise Hua, but not being surprised did not mean that he was not surprised, surprised and... angry.

"One code should be treated as one code. You cannot impose the problems of the previous era on the human beings of this era!"

"Oh? Then don't you too? If you really don't want people of this era to be burdened with the problems of the previous era, then why implement the Stigmata Project? Of course, you don't want to say that there are no problems with the Tinder Project and spread this civilization in advance The inaccessible knowledge made the entire China become the area with the highest degree of collapse for a long time, and even gave birth to the Herrscher. Isn't this the masterpiece of the Fire Project? "

"Although I hate the Stigmata Project, at least the outcome of this plan will allow humanity to defeat Honkai Impact. But what are you trying to do, Mikael? You are just changing the concept."

"ah."

Mikael responded softly.

"It seems that you agree that if the final outcome is happy, then the mistakes made in the process are not unacceptable, right?"

Hua frowned, wondering what kind of word game Mikael wanted to play.

But Mikael didn't give her a chance to discuss the topic at all——

"Ah, by the way, there is one thing that you probably don't know until now, right?"

"Huh? 'You'?"

Mikael slowly closed his eyes, "Well, you all don't know that Alicia has been a Herrscher from the beginning. She doesn't need to sacrifice everything for you."

"?"

Mikael took advantage of Hua's stunned moment and took a step forward.

The footsteps echoed quietly like water waves in the empty space, and then the golden light tore through the dark clouds covering the floating port, and also tore through the weak points of every space, until the round and open space The cracks filled every inch of the sky that Hua could see.

"Then...what are you going to do to stop me, Hua?"

Mikael slowly held his arms in front of him. Following his words, what popped out from the crack in space was the Archon Spear that Hua was very familiar with, but it wasn't that big of a deal.

Golden chains were wrapped around the tail of each Archon Spear. Hua had no time to retrieve the corresponding power from Yu Duchen's complicated memories, but just the dazzling golden light gave her an unknown feeling. premonition.

"Forget it, Siren should be done playing. Goodbye."

Mikael turned around neatly, and in an instant, the chain rang softly, and thousands of Archon spears fell with golden trails. It was much more brilliant than the meteor shower that was rare in a thousand years, but for the two people present , one naturally won't be in the mood to pay attention to this, while the other is already in a hurry to leave.

"one……"

"two……"

"three!"

The corners of Mikael's lips curled up again. At the moment when the countdown ended, thousands of red feathers penetrated his body, but failed to cause any damage. Hua passed through the Archon Spear at an incredible speed. The fire blockade appeared behind him - just as he expected.

Just the next second, his steps sank, and he felt a familiar pulling force on his back, and the calculating smile instantly turned into helplessness——

"Hua, so you think that the same method that works the first and second time will still be useful the third time, right?"

He was not surprised that Huaneng got the Key to the Ninth God. After all, they had cooperated with Anti-Entropy. In a battle of this level, the only help Anti-Entropy could provide was the missing First Herrscher. The Ninth God's Key is now available.

Mikael responded with a heavy snort and a slight friction sound between his hair and clothes.

"No, I never think that relying on the Ninth God's Key can hold you back. I also understand that the reason why I was able to trap you the first two times was probably because you were willing to be trapped. After all, regardless of the power of time, you at least It also has the corresponding rock power, and it doesn’t take much effort to crack the pseudo-black hole influence of the Ninth God Key.”

"Hey, don't you think you are doing useless work?"

"No, it's just... In the past, we knew that Honkai was almost impossible to defeat, but we were still willing to fight to win the almost non-existent hope. So in this era, the same is true. Not to mention the slightest possibility, Even if there is no hope at all, I will try my best to get to the end, at least in this way I can end it all with the relief of trying my best.”

"Like a moth chasing a flame?"

Hua Mingming was stunned for a moment, and then replied firmly:

"yes."

"That's really sad. Listening to someone who has obviously forgotten the past tell him what 'we' were like in the past..."

Mikael turned around, the smile still on his face.

Hua's lips parted slightly. Even though her memory was lost and scattered to this extent, she still saw a hint of familiarity in her smile.

She watched with helpless eyes as Mikael raised his hand, and his body suddenly trembled consciously, but the hand was only raised halfway and then retracted silently. When Hua looked at Mikael's smile again, that smile was indeed very familiar. But it's a little different from the broken pictures in my memory.

"Okay, you bet right. Since you want to delay time, I'm happy to accompany you. But before that, I need to spend a few minutes to do something. Don't worry, a few minutes here is only a few seconds... Tsk, it will be too late if I don't go now, so let's do it..." The voice was hastily cut off at the end, and Hua's hand grabbed forward uncontrollably, but what the five fingers held was just the golden light particles attracted by the pseudo-black hole.

…………

"Huh..."

Jizi looked at the HSN-b46 serum in her hand, and there was no emotion in her amber eyes.

The amount of serum was less, and some was used up to verify the efficacy, and some samples were left. Speaking of this... Dr. Tesla was crazy enough. In order to verify the effectiveness of the serum, she actually used a high concentration of Honkai energy crystals to infect herself with Honkai disease.

But the remaining amount was enough. According to Tesla's unintentional words, the dosage in this tube was even enough to knock down an entire Valkyrie squadron. Even if the Herrscher was hit, most of the Honkai energy in the core would be cleared at once.

Jizi's lips moved twice, as if she wanted to say something to herself, or to the serum in her palm, but in the end she kept silent.

Perhaps she felt that there was no need to say anything more, or that she had nothing to say.

The sound of gunfire, explosions, shouts, and the soft hum of weapons being adjusted became clearer and clearer in her ears.

Needless to say, she knew very well that she was approaching the battlefield again.

In fact, no matter how many times she had experienced it, before each battle, her body would instinctively resist and fear. For example, her hands would try their best but could not clench, her knees would suddenly bend without warning, her saliva would continue to secrete and swallow, and she would have the illusion of suffocation due to lack of oxygen no matter how she breathed.

"Huh..."

After another long sigh of relief, Jizi clenched the serum in her hand for a second, and was ready to put it into the armor's built-in storage bag.

At this moment, a voice sounded in her ear:

"Why don't you use the things I gave you? Oh, you're going to use it on Kiana, right?"

Hearing this voice, Ji Zi first took a breath, then quickly turned around and took two steps back, blocking the fiery red sword in front of her.

"What are you doing here!"
