The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Ah……"

The lights on the walkway are really dazzling.

Of course Jizi hates the dark, but such pale lights are not her favorite, especially at this time, it will only make her feel mentally uncomfortable.

She sat alone for about ten seconds, seemingly finally realizing that Mikael had left, and then pressed the communication switch:

"Theresa...I have something wrong here..."

"Huh? Jizi, are you...are you injured? Why does your voice sound so..."

"Injured? Don't worry... I'm fine... It's just that the situation is more complicated than the injury. You'd better come to Aisle 03 in Area B first... Pay attention, the disease gem needs to be recovered."

Jizi's voice was not only weak, but also intermittent. When a person is extremely weak, even the brain cannot keep functioning normally, so that any slightly more complicated wording becomes a task that racks one's brains and may not be possible. thing. After all, under normal circumstances, the brain is the most energy-consuming organ in the human body.

After saying that, she continued to tilt her head back and leaned against the wall of the corridor, pursed her lips tightly, and felt her whole body gradually relax and the strength slowly flow back to her limbs.

She was a little sleepy, her eyelids drooped heavily, but Mikael's voice kept looping in her ears.

"Was it in the last era... Let me just say, it turns out he is an old guy who is tens of thousands of years old. No wonder he is so familiar with Hua, haha. But... the Herrscher..."

His eyes finally closed weakly, but instead of seeing nothing but darkness, the scene where Mikael disappeared appeared autonomously.

Golden light, tearing void, could this guy be the Herrscher of the Sky from the previous era?

Ji Zi didn't want to think about this issue, but it was strange to say that her brain was so exhausted that she couldn't even organize a complete sentence, but as soon as she thought about issues related to Mikael, that useless heart But there is a kind of determination in my mind that I will not give up until I figure this problem out.

"A person who is tens of thousands of years old is clearly still a child..."

Thinking of what he said before leaving, Ji Zi felt a little dumbfounded.

Probably in the other party's heart, the person named "Captain Himihu" is a very important elder. Therefore, even though he knew very well that he was not "Hemihu", he just looked similar for some reason, but he still couldn't help but face himself with the same attitude as "Hemihu". He even hoped that she could give him some direction...

No. Does he really need advice? Ji Zi felt a little confused.

His words were indeed questions, but there was not much in the way of doubt in his tone.

Perhaps, he just needed such a conversation, a conversation that could no longer happen in reality. She did not participate in this conversation as "Himeko", but as a substitute for "Captain Himiko".

"Sigh... It's really disgusting to be regarded as a substitute for another person. But is it really that similar? That Captain Himiko is not my ancestor, right? Forget it, I'll get Mikael drunk when I get the chance. If you ask a few questions, maybe you will know... I hope, I hope there is... there is... this..."

She fell asleep.

In her hazy dream, she seemed to feel herself falling into an endless fall.

…………

"Himeko? Himeko?"

"Well……"

When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on the sofa next to the Hyperion bridge. Theresa's big head that did not match her body almost completely occupied her sight.

"Uh...how long have I been asleep?"

"I just brought the dog over and put it down. It will only take a few minutes, and we will be ready to break through the barrier of the floating port again."

"Huh... Then I woke up in time."

Jizi patted her head gently. There seemed to be a disconnect between the brain and the skull. When she patted it, there seemed to be a brain swaying in her head. However, after resting for a few minutes, she felt much better. She tried clenching her fists and felt that even her limbs had some strength. So she wanted to stand up, but she just raised her shoulders and was stopped by De. Lisa held it down forcefully.

"You should have a good rest first. However, the direction and depth of the serum test tube on your arm was pierced. You can tell at a glance that it was done by another person. What happened? The whole process of monitoring that corridor was only It shows you standing in the aisle and then suddenly falling to the ground."

In fact, there is another sentence, something Theresa would never ask no matter how stupid she is.

She knew that the serum was a life-saving thing for Himeko, but she also felt that based on Himeko's previous performance and her seemingly casual but stubborn character, she would not inject the serum into herself before the battle. Make yourself lose the ability to fight. This is really not a nice thing to say, and it smells like moral kidnapping, but this kind of behavior is really like running away from the battlefield. Theresa can trust Himeko, but the Valkyrie students who came from St. Freya Academy still need an explanation. After all, they don’t understand Himeko. In their eyes, she is always a teacher who skips classes and drinks too much. Ji Zi may not be able to escape from the battlefield.

"It's Mikael..."

Jizi drawled her voice, paused for a moment, turned her words around in her mind, and tried her best to explain the situation in indirect terms.

"So that's it? This guy first took advantage of Kiana and the others' trust to arrest the three of them one by one, and now he comes to rescue you? It's hard to imagine what he is planning in his heart."

Theresa was not completely without speculation. For example, by doing this, Mikael would lose the combat effectiveness of an A-level Valkyrie on Hyperion's side. But there are two unexplained holes in this speculation.

First, as an A-level Valkyrie, does Hime really need to make Mikael go to great lengths? It's not that the A-level Valkyrie is not good at fighting, but in Theresa's view, the A-level Valkyrie is probably nothing in the eyes of an opponent like Mikael who is on the same level as Red Kite Sento. Tesla and Himeko did report the problem of the Blank Key to her, but an A-level Valkyrie, or an A-level Valkyrie whose body has almost reached the critical point, can really use this set of armor that has surpassed the fourth generation God-killing Armor. The power of the blank key? What's more, it's just used in a hurry...

There are always people who think that an ordinary person who knows nothing will become invincible after getting a magic weapon from a master. It's not like Theresa has never seen some Valkyrie who stand at the peak of human intelligence complain anonymously on the Destiny Forum before, feeling that "Youlandel's martial arts are mediocre, give me the fourth generation God-killing Armor, I will She can also become an S-class Valkyrie.”

It is true that armor is an important part of the Valkyrie's combat effectiveness, but the real meaning of armor is actually a platform for the Valkyrie to display her abilities. At most, it can specialize in a certain aspect. What truly determines the combat effectiveness is the strength of the Valkyrie itself.

Therefore, although she would like to believe that the Blank Key can bring them more powerful power, and it is best to allow an ordinary girl with no strength to instantly possess the fighting power of the Herrscher, she has to succumb to reality, at least She didn't think that the Blank Key could allow an A-level Valkyrie to exert the combat effectiveness of an S-level Valkyrie.

Moreover, there is another loophole - even if the Blank Key can temporarily give Himeko the combat power of an S-class Valkyrie, thus affecting his plan, that is still the Blank Key's business. What does it have to do with Himeko? If it is to reduce their combat effectiveness, directly destroy the Blank Key, or take away the Disease Gem... To put it bluntly, even directly killing Himeko will be more effective than using the serum to cure her Honkai Disease. Is it consistent with this motivational orientation?

Mikael would not have thought that the decision he made based on his emotional impulse had completely confused Theresa.

"Okay, things have happened, you should take a good rest first, leave Kiana and Mei to us..."

Theresa jumped off the sofa and prepared to return to the command position on the bridge.

"Wait a minute, Theresa..."

"What's wrong?"

Himeko pushed up her upper body to make her pronunciation smoother.

"On how to defeat Kiana and the Second Herrscher, Mikael told me a method."

"Oh...ah? Mikael, told you a method?"

Theresa tilted her head, and with her confused thoughts, she actually felt that her eyes began to dart around in their sockets.

A minute later, Theresa walked quickly back to the bridge.

"Ms. Theresa, we are close to the Honkai Impact shield at the Destiny Floating Port. If you have no other instructions, we will use the Moonlight Throne engine to drive the Hyperion's main cannon to bombard the Honkai Impact shield. Because the Moonlight Throne can..."

"Can Honkai energy be converted into conventional energy?"

Theresa's interruption made Einstein stunned, but she quickly reacted and nodded calmly.

"It seems that the Far East Branch's research on the Moonlight Throne is faster than I thought, so no explanation is needed."

"No……"

Theresa wanted to tell the truth, but she felt that "about Mikael suddenly changing his position and telling them how to use the Moonlight Throne Engine to deal with the Second Herrscher" was actually more fantasy than a fantasy novel. In order to ensure efficiency, it was better to wait. I'll explain it later.

"No, I have another idea."

Theresa shook her head, and the word "no" had already blurted out. Fortunately, her reaction was not slow and she quickly rounded off her words.

"Dr. Einstein, Dr. Tesla, if that's the case, can the Moonlight Throne transform the Honkai energy in Kiana's body so that she can revive her own consciousness and suppress Herrscher's consciousness?"

Einstein and Tesla looked at each other, and the latter's strange eyes seemed to say: "Huh? Jiwotou, didn't you tell her?"

Einstein shrugged and twisted his body unnaturally.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Theresa, I really forgot to tell you. This is one of the battle plans we prepared. According to the records left by the previous civilization, they once used the Moonlight Throne to severely damage the Herrscher of the End in the same way. , it should be feasible to use it on Kiana, but the risk of doing so is a bit high. It is necessary to ensure that the output power of the Moonlight Throne is within a suitable range in order to quickly convert the Herrscher's Honkai Energy while also Don’t hurt Kiana.”

"Is that so? Since you two already have a plan, let's go with it according to your plan."

In the end, Theresa didn't force it. The two doctors of Anti-Entropy know much more about the Moonlight Throne than she does. Whether such a tactic should be used, and if such a tactic is used, whether a different method of opening the floating port shield is needed, or is left to them to judge. Good.

After all, this was Mikael's suggestion, and who knows what exactly he was trying to do?

"Um?"

Einstein suddenly let out a light sigh. She gently tapped her temple with her right index finger. Three seconds later, her eyelids raised slightly:

"Ms. Theresa, good news, Anti-Entropy's follow-up troops, tens of thousands of tactical mechas, have arrived on the battlefield."

"Then...the one you mentioned before is stronger than your alliance leader..."

Teresa responded quickly, and Einstein's response was extremely simple and clear - she nodded heavily, and then uttered a short syllable.

"Um."

"However, Ms. Theresa, you may need to appear in the next battle..."

"Huh? No problem. Although I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, I am still an S-class Valkyrie..."

"No, Ms. Teresa, what I mean is...now that you have recovered your memory from the second collapse, do you still remember the correct usage of Judas?"

…………

"Ding!"

The moment Mikael stepped out of the space rift, he stretched out his hand in front of his neck as if he had expected it, and the golden long sword was pushed aside by him so lightly.

"Hua, do you need to be so ungrateful?"

"Aren't we always willing to do whatever it takes to win the battle?"

"That was before. At that time, as long as we were defeated once, we were almost certain to die. For ourselves and for the world to continue to survive, we had to do whatever we could. But it's different now, Hua, you know, even if you... "

"Stop saying such things."

Hua held up his sword with one hand and directly interrupted Mikael's words.

She knew what Mikael was going to say, but...the words didn't make any sense.

"Even if you lose, I won't kill you."

Mikael just wanted to say this.

Huaxin? It was believable, after all, 50,000 years ago, she clearly remembered that she had died at the hands of Mikael, but now she was alive and well. It seemed that the Yingjie were not dead either. She had this impression, but she couldn't find a clear memory.

But so what?

Such words will only shake a person's determination to fight to the death. If this is Mikael's calculation, it is really insidious.

Mikael shook his head slowly. He easily guessed what Hua was thinking, but he didn't try to correct anything. He just asked lightly:

"How long do you have to wait?"

"What? Are you impatient?"

The corners of Mikael's eyes twitched twice. It was clearly Hua who was trying to delay time. Why did it sound like the roles of the two sides had been reversed?

But he soon understood.

It's just that Hua also guessed what he was thinking.

In fact, aren't both parties waiting?

"You have guessed what I am thinking, why don't you stop the whole plan? If you are surprised, you may be able to defeat me. Since I have expected all this, it is better to stop the loss in time, right?"

"perhaps."

Hua slowly raised her head. From her perspective, she could clearly see that everything around the pseudo-black hole was moving at an extremely fast speed, and even the colors in the sky were stretched into threads of corresponding colors.

It is very difficult to judge the passage of time in such an abstract world, but Hua does not need to calculate time. She only needs to stare closely at the pile of abstract colors until the color she is waiting for appears. enough.

"It's now!"

The simulated black hole and the traction force suddenly disappeared, and Mikael's body fell forward unconsciously. Hua quickly punched, aiming directly at Mikael's throat.

Mikael's reaction speed was not slower than hers. After all, he had expected this step a long time ago, but his attention was not on Hua. Although Hua's strength was good, it didn't stop there for him. Since it was planned to It seems that the black hole has been lifted, which means that Hua and others have arrived, and Mikael should be more careful about other people.

After nonchalantly blocking the palm, Mikael felt a rare palpitation in his heart.

Is it Sakura?

No, he caught a golden light from the corner of his eye. It was just such a glance, but it gave him the illusion of weakness.

"This is... Teresa!"

The golden light curtain rushed toward him, and Mikael's face turned pale, which was rare, but that was not only because of fear, but also because of anger——

"Hua! Don't worry about your life!"

In his haste, even the order of the words was reversed. The restraining barrier was fatal to him as a Herrscher, but was it not so to a fusion warrior?

Even if he is affected by the restraining power, even if he cannot use Honkai Energy and has no time to use the same restraining power to offset the influence, as the Cocoon of the End, he himself is... Oh, Hua doesn't seem to know this. But even an ordinary Herrscher, due to the equal weight of the power itself, would at best be in a state of powerlessness and weakness.

But... Mikael clearly knows how high the direct mortality rate of fusion warriors is when they are affected by the restraint power.

So, he has become Hua, and has become the target they must kill even though they sacrificed their lives so hastily?

It's... it's really... it makes me want to get angry, but my heart is like firewood that has been wetted by the rain, unable to burn at all. What kind of feeling is the so-called sadness? Perhaps it is like the faint smoke rising when moist firewood is burning...

In just a blink of an eye, the golden light curtain spread in front of Mikael. Fortunately, at the end, a golden light curtain also erupted from Mikael himself as the origin, and the two light curtains collided together. , on the contrary, they neutralize each other.

However, the restraining power seems to have worked. The moment the two light curtains collided, the surge of power seemed to inevitably affect Mikael. Although it was only for a moment, it was completely enough for some people. .

The next moment, nine pale sword lights lit up around Mikael, completely blocking all his possible movements.
