The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"I see, Mikael, since you brought me here, this permanent solution...what do I need to do?"

Natasha stood on the other side of the rooftop, leaning on the rusty railing with all her weight. She just looked at the figures of Mikael and Mei standing side by side quietly, feeling a little bored. Especially when Mei Yi said the above words, her eyes flashed, and then she yawned.

"Remember what I said earlier? Kiana's biggest problems now are two. First, the Herrscher's consciousness is only suppressed, but as this consciousness awakens again, what exactly is standing in front of you when we meet next time? Whether it's the Second Herrscher or Kiana herself, even I can't guarantee. The second point is the physical problem. The total amount of Honkai energy contained in the four Herrscher cores is too high. The Two Herrschers once possessed six Herrscher Cores at the same time, but at that time she was already a complete Herrscher, and her body was infinitely adaptable to Honkai Energy, but even she did not last long... Ikia In Na's current condition, if there is no other way to suppress it, she will die of Honkai Disease within a month or two at most."

"Just tell me how to do it."

"Tsk, don't be so anxious, Yayi. Before making every decision, try to avoid the influence of emotions as much as possible. Instead, make the decision based on a rational analysis of objective conditions. I once taught you something, but I don't remember it. ?"

Ignoring Mikael's extended hand, Mei replied coldly:

"But you also told me that in many cases it is impossible to conduct rational analysis. 'Human beings are emotional creatures after all, and there are always some people or things in this world whose weight in our hearts is greater than The whole world is important. So when it comes to issues, it's impossible to think rationally. Just make the decision you think is right. "

Mikael was silent. Suddenly, he raised his hand again and slapped Mei Yi hard on the head.

"So, are you trying to say that you've made up your mind?"

"..."

"It's better to listen to what I say and then hurry up and make up your mind. The so-called root cause method is actually just the second point to cure the root cause. The method is very simple. Since Kiana has too many Herrscher cores in her body, Honkai can accumulate When her body couldn't bear it, all she had to do was take out a Herrscher core.

"Did you know that the birth of a Herrscher is an irreversible result. Once you become a Herrscher, there will be an imaginary singularity connected to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers left in your body. This is the core essence of the Herrscher, or conversely, the Herrscher The core is the existence form of the imaginary singularity. As long as you are willing and the conditions are ripe, you can regain the imaginary singularity by your own will - yes, recapture it. The conquering gem in Kiana's body is the imaginary singularity that symbolizes the power of thunder and lightning. Click, let it be born again in your body, and the conquering gem in Kiana will disappear. "

"How should I believe what you say? This method... A person who has become a Herrscher can become a Herrscher again at any time. This kind of thing is simply unheard of..."

Facing Mei Yi's tangled eyes, Mikael first ruffled her hair rudely, and then smoothed it carefully. His actions inadvertently achieved the so-called reincarnation, although Mikael himself didn't know it. What is the special significance of such reincarnation?

"Really? Then tell me, how many Herrschers have been born in your era?"

"Four..."

"Isn't that enough? No one in this world understands the Herrscher better than me. Of course, this is not only because of the stories that happened in the previous era, but also because... Mei Yi, you are not curious, where does my power come from? "

Mikael skillfully opened his arms, and the wind of the twelfth lunar month blew sideways from the side, filling his thin shirt that was obviously only worn in summer. But he was not affected by the cold wind, and a smile spread on his face.

Regardless of other factors, he still liked the feeling of leading the conversation. It's not that he has any perverted desires in his heart that need to be vented, nor can it simply be attributed to his imitation of Otto. Perhaps it's just because, in his past memories, everything is beyond his control, which leads to a kind of... What a weird hobby.

To be honest, Otto seems to be the same way.

But Mei Yi's answer was unexpected, and his smile froze.

"Isn't it the stigmata?"

Mei Yi's eyelids drooped weakly, and her slender index finger casually tapped Mikael's chest.

Mikael lowered his head. The thin fabric of the shirt became more transparent in the wind, especially the gaps between the buttons. They also twisted under the instigation of the wind, directly exposing the red patch on his chest. Φ”.

"Hmm... Hahaha! It seems you have misunderstood something. But if you think about it carefully, the abilities I use...not to mention the abilities that you are unfamiliar with, the ability to create things out of thin air, haven't you heard of it? Space Haven’t you heard of the ability to travel?”

The corners of Meiyi's lips twitched, how could she not guess? It can even be said that she had such a conjecture a long time ago...or, in other words, had a premonition.

The mission of the Valkyrie is to fight against the Honkai, and the most important thing to fight against the Honkai is to fight against the Herrscher. St. Freya Academy, whose responsibility is to cultivate the Valkyrie, will naturally not fail to teach knowledge about the Herrscher. However, most of the Valkyries trained over the years have no ability to compete with the Herrscher. Even if they are unlucky, they will just be killed in the blink of an eye. There is no need to know too much. In other words, The detailed information about the Herrscher should be something that is taught to the Valkyrie only after she has advanced to A-level or even S-level...

But who knew that St. Freya's history teacher at that time was Mikael.

I don’t know if he just couldn’t control his mouth, or if he was fiddling with knowledge, or if he was just preparing for what happened in the past few days, in short, he talked a lot in class with Theresa’s acquiescence. Knowledge related to the Herrscher. Although I can’t understand most of the content…

"Huh? Don't you understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You just need to remember the first Herrscher. The power of the Herrscher of Reason is to rely on one's own understanding to create the desired objects, and the second Herrscher is called Sora. Lawyer, you must be aware of her power, right?"

Of course Mei still remembers this, and Mikael has never concealed his abilities in front of her. If she had to say it, she had begun to suspect that Mikael's powers came from the Herrscher a long time ago. It's just that due to a certain bias of consciousness, she has chosen to ignore this for a long time. Even until just now, she was still deceiving herself insincerely...

"No need to doubt it, Mei. I keep talking about the last era and the previous era. Aren't you curious about where the Herrschers from the previous era are? Ah, I forgot. You have seen something like the Key of God, but it doesn't matter. Now. Standing in front of you, I am the First Herrscher of the former civilization.”

Mikael finished this sentence with a calm expression. He originally thought that his emotions should be fuller, his voice should be higher and louder, and his expression should be more evil. These are all necessary for a villain to advance the protagonist. Food for growth. But when he said these words, he felt an inexplicable discomfort like a lump in his throat. No matter how powerful he is, having something stuck in his throat and a dull pain is an extremely uncomfortable thing that almost drives people crazy. Therefore, he couldn't make any expression and his tone was as calm as if he was talking about how much he had eaten this morning. An egg... Probably because the same movements, the same keyword "Herrscher", the same confession, and the fact that he was about to face the second Herrscher all reminded him of that day fifty thousand years ago. Bar.

"Is that so... You are the first Herrscher of the previous era."

After all, Mei Yi didn't feel any surprise at all, and couldn't even cheer up for questioning.

"No, I'm just the First Herrscher."

Mikael's lips moved imperceptibly, silently correcting the mistakes in Mei Yi's words.

The two were not far apart, and even if the air flow was so charming, it couldn't be fast enough to snatch away the sound before it reached Mei Yi's ears.

Mei heard it, but she didn't understand the meaning of Mikael's words. Perhaps like most of the things Mikael said, these were not words he expected her to understand at all, but just what he wanted to say at this moment, that's all.

"So, you should believe me now. I said that no one in this world knows Herrscher better than me, not even my group of comrades, not even Mebius, at least in this regard is not as good as me. "

Mei Yi nodded, then shook her head. Just because she wasn't surprised didn't mean she hadn't been hit by such explosive information. She no longer knew what she should do or what to ask. Fortunately, you still remember who you are and where you are, otherwise you would have to ask the classic philosophical three questions.

Seeing her thoughtful expression, Mikael did not speak in a hurry, but turned his gaze forward again.

"But...even if we do this, it is not a permanent solution."

After a while, he suddenly denied his previous words.

"Even if Kiana's physical problem is solved in this way, the consciousness of the Second Herrscher will always be a problem, but this problem can only be solved by Kiana herself. Only Kiana herself can overcome this hurdle. Become a Herrscher It is irreversible. As I said just now, she can only move forward and face the future as a Herrscher if she personally defeats the Second Herrscher. Otherwise, there is only death and no other choice. It’s not the biggest problem.”

Meiyi still listened quietly. She wanted to retort, "Kiana can definitely do it," but after thinking about it, what was the point of saying something that she didn't even have the confidence to say.

"You want to say that Kiana can do it, right? I believe so too. I firmly believe that Kiana can defeat the Herrscher's consciousness and control the Herrscher's power as a human being."

Mei turned to look at Mikael, her eyes full of surprise, as if she was thinking carefully about what kind of mentality Mikael's words came from - whether she really believed it, or just to bring the relationship closer between the two. What was said without sincerity?

This is not difficult to judge, at least for Mei Yi, and it is precisely because of this that she remains silent.

"But the problem is that after mastering the power of the Herrscher, she must take on the responsibility that is equal to this power. She will, and she must fight on the front line against Honkai from now on, fighting against the most dangerous Honkai beasts. , fighting endlessly with the Herrscher, even if she can defeat all these enemies, she still has to face the end, the end that none of us can overcome... Mei, you should understand very well, with Kiana's character, No one will force her, and she will choose this path herself. This is the fate that people with Kaslana's surname must bear. In the end, she will still wander on the line of life and death, until she finally dies in an impossible situation. in front of the defeated enemy.”

"What...what do you want to say?"

"When I say cure the root cause, I don't mean to cure Kiana's current problems, but the future. No matter what, Raiden Mei, you must have the same power as Kiana in order to be able to stand side by side with her in the not-too-distant future. Only This way you can protect her. Even if you fail in the end, at least you tried your best. At least you can choose to die with her instead of watching her sacrifice and then die alone with guilt and despair. ”

Mei Yi silently clenched her right hand and pressed it against her heart.

The beating of her heart was rapid and powerful, as if urging her to make a decision, and as if warning her not to trust the man in front of her so easily, or maybe he just wanted her to become the Herrscher of Thunder again, and then do something beneficial to him. That's all. Although there is nothing wrong with what Mikael said...

It's ridiculous. She was so determined before, but she still hesitated in the end...

"But...if I become the Herrscher again, I..."

"Are you worried that you won't be able to suppress Herrscher's consciousness and cause a disaster like Changkong City again?"

"ah."

After all, she is also...a sinner with millions of lives on her hands.

"So, if you are willing to do this, maybe your body will be occupied by the Herrscher consciousness again, which will harm more people, but it can win a chance for Kiana. No matter what happens in the future, if this If you can't pass this level, Kiana has no future... How about choosing between the world and Kiana? Do you need me to remind you again? Choosing to become the Herrscher of Thunder will not necessarily hurt more people. , but if she doesn’t become the Herrscher of Thunder, Kiana will definitely die.”

Really...how to choose...

Mei Yi shook her head and did not choose one of the two.

"After all, it's just your words. Maybe the anti-entropy doctors have other methods."

"I said, no one in this world understands the Herrscher better than me. Besides, you should be able to tell now whether I lied, right?"

"I...how do I know you!"

"That's it..."

Mikael rubbed the stubble on his chin and pulled out some beards that were too long.

Sure enough, you are a little impatient? What he said now was his family's opinion. Even though Mei could see that he was not lying, he still had a sense of luck - what if the anti-entropy doctor had other ideas?

"Forget it, you will always understand. This is the way the world is. The worst possibility is always chosen by reality, and luck is just a waste of each other's precious time. But forget it this time... "

Mikael suddenly raised his feet and stood on the thin rusty railing. His body swayed for a moment and then quickly stabilized. Only the sound of the railing "squeaking" drifted far away in the wind.

"Come on, Mei, go meet her."

Mei bit her lip and was about to reach out to hold Mikael's extended palm. Suddenly, Mikael's expression changed, his hand quickly retracted, and he took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Someone's calling?

Looking at the unfamiliar phone number on the screen, a purple light flashed in Mikael's eyes, and he found the caller in less than a second.

"Otto? Is there something wrong with Mebius?"
