The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Less than a kilometer away directly below, we found three lines of defense composed of heavy mechas from the Extreme East Branch of Counter-Entropy, each about six hundred meters apart. As long as we break through these three lines of defense, we can enter the inner defense line of Haiyuan City...

"A target suspected to be a Valkyrie airship has been detected on the sea level directly above. The target sequence is being analyzed - the analysis is completed. The Valkyrie combat airship serial number is EA-0019 (S), which belongs to the Southeast Asian branch's Snow Lotus Team. We have been Attacked!"

"I didn't expect... Tianming's pursuers would come so quickly?"

Theresa bared her teeth, and the expression on her face was certainly not very pretty.

"It's normal. If your grandfather Otto Apokalis was in the same position in our time, he would probably do much better than the group of people we faced at that time. Just relying on the information in his hands After analyzing and reasoning, combined with the records of our stop in Macau for supplies, it would be even more strange not to guess that our target is Haiyuan City.

"Besides, my former comrade must also understand that if you want to defeat him, you must rescue that person from his seal. If he continues to 'selflessly' share this information with your grandfather, then... "

"That means that the pursuers we have to face may not only be Destiny's Snow Lotus Squad. No matter how arrogant Otto is, he will not think that just a dozen A-level Valkyries of the Snow Lotus Squad can defeat the Hyperion. . There will definitely be a pursuit force sent by the World Serpent - although Mikael helped us defeat the Second Herrscher at the last moment, it is best not to have high expectations for him."

Ai Yin was stroking her chicken coop-like hair as usual. After hearing this, Theresa could do nothing but nod.

The existence of the World Serpent is actually not a secret. It is a miracle that such a huge organization can hide for ten years without being discovered. It is completely unimaginable that it can hide for a hundred years without being discovered... So what if it is five thousand years?

There must be a lot of clues, just like Immortal Red Yuan once lived in seclusion in China, but as soon as you enter the world, you will know that Immortal Chi Yuan really exists, and there are many legends about immortals among the people.

The same is true for the World Serpent. The traces they left behind are more extensive. It can be said that even the religious background behind the birth of Destiny is full of the colors of the World Serpent. It is impossible for such an ancient and huge organization to be lurking without anyone knowing about it. Whether it is Otto, who has been in contact with Mikael for a long time, or Anti-Entropy, which has only been established for more than half a century, everyone knows about the "Snake" The existence of the World Serpent is also well aware of the fact that he has been penetrated by the World Serpent. It can even be said that this kind of reverse infiltration and reverse infiltration of the World Serpent has always been the most important thing for Destiny and Anti-Entropy besides fighting against Honkai and each other. task.

However, just like most things in this world, Theresa was really unaware of this before. Fortunately, now that Hyperion and Anti-Entropy have joined forces, she has not been idle these days, and has compiled the Anti-Entropy database. I have read all the information about "World Snake". Although most of them are distant legends, and the modern records are fragmented, she still extracted a few valid information, such as - the position of Lord of the World Snake has been vacant for a long time, and under Kiana In the early morning of the day before the accident, the actual leader of the World Serpent, "Dr. Mebius", announced the return of the "Lord" to all members of the World Serpent.

The news came a little late. Both Theresa and Einstein felt this way. But now it seems that this is the news that World Snake deliberately delayed in releasing.

"Compared to Cocolia, the pursuers behind us will obviously be more difficult."

Mei stood between Einstein and Theresa. When she clasped her hands on her chest and spoke calmly, Theresa felt a bit like Dr. Einstein, but in some ways she was even more uncomfortable. Likewise, I always felt a slight stinging sensation when the air vibration caused by her opening swept across my cheek.

This tingling feeling may be due to unfamiliarity, or it may not be, but Theresa didn't have time to think about this carefully.

"The World Snake won't hope that their cadres can deal with us. It should be Mikael or Mebius who comes in person. In short, the pursuers above are much more troublesome than Cocolia."

Theresa covered her forehead and felt a burning sensation, which was the perfect explanation for "burnt out".

"No, the Valkyrie combat airship can dive at least twice as fast as the Hyperion. It took us four hours to dive to a depth that they only needed two hours. By then we would be stuck in Cocolia. Between them, even if they can quickly defeat Cocolia's troops, the dive speed is too slow and they will not be able to enter the Abyss City defense line..."

"Ah, that's right."

Ai Yin put down the hand stroking her hair, and her dark blue eyes trembled slightly to the side, looking at Mei, who was standing upright and motionless.

Noticing her gaze, Mei turned her head slightly and smiled back.

"Mikael can calculate that we will come here, so Dr. Mei, you must also have calculated that she can think of this. In other words, the current situation is not something that you need to use your brains to think about. It is a result that can be obtained by instinct alone. Therefore, if there is any preparation, or if there is anything we need to do, please let Dr. Mei speak directly... Ah, by the way, my noisy colleague has been in Macau since then. He hasn’t appeared since then, probably because of your preparations.”

It was extremely rare for Einstein to utter such a long sentence that had nothing to do with science in one breath. In her life, which was longer than Theresa's, it was extremely rare.

In this regard, Mei's smile remained unchanged——

"Yes, the comrade who boarded the ship with me and Dr. Tesla must have been modifying and upgrading the engine of the Moonlight Throne that you copied in the past few days. The items supplied in Macau at that time, except for a small amount of ammunition and water, left The downloaded parts are the parts needed for the transformation and upgrade. When I was at the Anti-Entropy headquarters, I read your copy report on the Moonlight Throne engine. I had already planned in advance where improvements were needed, what materials were needed, and how much was needed. We have also seen the drawings of the Li An. The strength of the hull is fully sufficient to support a dive speed that is about five times that of the current one. There is no need to worry about this issue. After a few days, the modification should be completed, right? "

Although there was a questioning tone at the end of the words, there was no hint of "uncertainty" in Mei's expression.

"You...didn't even tell us this?"

"That would be an injustice to me. The best tactical deception is to deceive one's own people as well. If even one's own people cannot predict what will happen next, then the same will be true of the enemy. Besides, whether it is Austria or Both To and Mebius are people with a strong desire for control, and Mikael... In short, these three people will carefully calculate the time when making specific plans to ensure that they will form just in time when the coalition forces of World Snake and Destiny catch up with us. We are in a flanking attack with Cocolia, so we just need to make everyone think that our dive speed can only be so fast. Besides, Dr. Einstein should have discovered it from the beginning.”

"Well, after all, Dr. Tesla still has a strong presence. She has been absent for several days, and I feel like I am deaf."

Einstein smoothly pushed aside the long hair hanging down by his ears, and pointed to his ears with his index finger.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the top scientists of the two eras to exchange remarks, Theresa turned her head away in embarrassment - of course she also found that Dr. Tesla was missing. Although they only got along for a short time, as Ain said, Tesla La's presence is too strong to ignore. But even if she noticed it, she didn't care. On the one hand, she naturally felt that this anti-entropy doctor might have his own ideas, and on the other hand, because all her energy was still in the battle not long ago... so that Even if I find some abnormalities, I don't have the energy to think about it carefully.

"Ding--"

An exclamation point appeared on the edge of the display screen in front of the three of them. Aiyi automatically opened the message. There were only three letters and two punctuation marks on it:

"V: OK!"

"This means..."

"Of course it means that the Moonlight Throne Engine MKII Plus version has passed Velvet's final test and can be put into official use."

Mei slowly spread her hands, and her voice was actually so calm that there was no trace of suppression. It was even calmer than the voice of a robot.

But the next moment, the corners of her mouth curled up imperceptibly, and her eyes hidden behind the lenses narrowed, and her words finally contained a feeling that might be called "eagerness":

"What are you waiting for, Theresa! Just start it at full speed and break through Cocolia's defense line in one go!"

…………

"Didi!"

The sonar specially modified for the mission on the Valkyrie airship suddenly sounded a piercing alarm sound. The green battleship icon symbolizing the Hyperion was rushing towards the dense red dots on the seabed. The sonar beside it On the display, the numbers symbolizing the distance between the two began to soar rapidly, and the color also flashed from green to red, which meant that the distance between the two was changing from shrinking to expanding.

Rita's eyes flickered and she said nothing.

Mebius, who was sitting opposite her, also showed a rare "stunned" expression.

After a blink of an eye, she bit her finger happily without any sign of nervousness on her face:

"Not bad, I should say... As expected of Mei?"

Things have changed, and of course she will not remain indifferent, but she must at least appear calm on the outside. After all, the junior opposite did not show any signs of surprise. She cannot embarrass herself, the World Snake, let alone the World Snake. An embarrassment to...their era.

"Ahem!"

Rita cleared her throat and spoke slowly in an awkward yet polite tone:

"Oops, I drank a little too much water earlier. Dr. Mebius, I have to go to the toilet. Are you okay?"

"Ha! I'm not your teacher, and this isn't a classroom. Oh? Did you just forget to raise your hand and call for a report?"

"Haha, elegance never goes out of style."

Seeing Rita's back disappearing into the cabin as the hatch closed, Mebius moved his body closer to the hard and cold seat and sneered without exposing Rita's excuse.

When it came to going to the bathroom, she clearly reported the situation to her bishop and asked for instructions.

"Click——"

The nail was bitten and there was a gap, and the enamel on the surface of the tooth seemed to be damaged, causing a dull pain.

"What bad luck!"

Regardless of the image, Mebius spat out the small piece of nail he had bitten off, and then supported his head with his hands.

Chen Tianwu was actually sitting one body away from her, but he and Anna across from him seemed to have fallen asleep since they took their seats. The two of them moved in unison, with their heads lowered and their legs together. His palms were placed neatly on his knees, like a little kid entering kindergarten on his first day.

If Anna were smarter, there would be no need for Rita to find an excuse to resign and report to Otto. Perhaps Rita is still confused and doesn't know how her deputy became like this.

But Mebius knew everything. His eyes glanced at the two young people who were bowing their heads and shut themselves up, and the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably.

"What a naive and naive age..."

If two people pay attention to each other, they will find something, right?

It was a matter of raising half of his head, but neither of the two people did it. Maybe both of them feel something, at least - she/he has not forgotten themselves.

But how to confirm?

If you raise your head rashly, will it appear that you have a lot of inner drama and look down?

What should we do if we look up and our eyes meet? Will each other get the wrong idea, leading to more embarrassing consequences?

Instead of that, maybe it's better not to raise your head at all.

This set of thinking was all too familiar to Mebius.

How should I put it, at least for Anna, this idea of ​​forcibly adding drama to herself when getting along is worthy of the surname "Shaniat".

Do you want to give these two little guys some tips?

Mebius's five fingers holding his cheek moved rhythmically like ocean waves. There was some inexplicable tangle in her heart, but after about ten seconds, she finally gave up that plan.

She had seen this kind of thing once fifty thousand years ago, and she was actually looking forward to seeing if the descendants of those two guys could do something that would impress her.

Thinking too far - Mebius tapped his head lightly.

Mebius turned his gaze back to the console. The distance between the Valkyrie airship and the Hyperion was still inevitably widening.

Speaking of which, Rita has been there for a while, but she probably just finished explaining the situation.

She has done this, and Mebius is also thinking about whether he should inform Mikael...

After a brief thought, Mebius once again came to a negative conclusion.

Even if he was notified, there seemed to be no better solution other than letting him appear here directly, so it would be better not to say anything.

Anyway, for Mebius, variables are variables. She is not afraid of death because she cannot truly die.

What's more, in front of her, even if you don't care about Hollander, what threat do those little brats on the Hyperion pose to her?

It’s decided, that’s it.

Mebius crossed his legs, and at that moment, the hatch opened and Rita came back expressionlessly. (End of chapter)
