The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"No matter what you say...Sakura, it's time for you to stop here."

As Kevin's words fell, the biting chill in the air actually condensed into countless ice edges, completely surrounding Sakura and Bronya.

Hey hey! It's even colder than when the snow melts in Siberia in the spring, and it doesn't match the weapons in your hands - Bronya smiled bitterly in her heart.

However, even though the longest ice edge was pressed against Sakura's throat, she still refused to give in.

"Oh? You brought a child with you? Who is she?"

"Oh, are you still pretending to be innocent at this time Kevin! I found her here! In the room where the bell was supposed to be turned off! Whether it was used for experiments or something else, the Fire Chaser Moth Kevin, do you dare to say that you had no idea about arresting so many innocent children here?"

Facing Sakura's questioning, Kevin remained silent, but this obviously did not satisfy the former.

"Answer me Kevin! Don't you have any judgment of right and wrong in your own heart? As long as it's something that Mei thinks is right, you won't have any objections, will you?"

Sakura suddenly crushed the ice in front of her eyes, and the splashing ice reflected her face that gradually became ferocious, and the bloodshot eyes that were almost connected to one side.

"Answer me Kevin!"

Silence cannot resolve all misunderstandings, it may even make matters worse.

However, if the person who speaks is someone who is not good at expressing, it is almost like adding fuel to the fire.

The worst result is that silence breeds suspicion when you shouldn't be silent, and you choose to speak when it is best to remain silent.

At this point, Kevin never disappoints.

"I don't know about this. I believe Mei doesn't know about this either. She is not this kind of person."

"Humph. Kevin, you should know Mei better than me. Look into my eyes and tell me again, what kind of person Mei is!"

Bronya swallowed with all her strength, and then gently pulled Sakura's belt.

The violent Honkai energy caused a collision of air currents, causing the two drill bits on Bronya's head to fly everywhere. The surrounding ice edges were also squeezed by the surging Honkai energy, and all shattered in an instant.

"cherry……"

Bronya could see that the conflict between the two people in front of her and Dr. Mei was not a matter of fact. It seemed inappropriate to describe it as a long-standing grudge. The matter was much more complicated than the most complicated situation she could imagine. , but she had read the records in the archives, and she knew that Sakura might have indeed misunderstood this time.

For the second time, she gently called Sakura's name, but still couldn't say the words.

But this time it wasn't that she couldn't make up her mind, but that she realized - not to mention she was still in a state of doubt, if Suzu had really become a Herrscher, would Sakura have the determination to kill her?

If Seele becomes the Herrscher, will Bronya have the determination to kill her?

It should be...impossible.

When Sister Mei turned into a Herrscher in front of Bronya, didn't Bronya fail to kill her?

Kiana has now become a Herrscher, but in Bronya's heart, the option of "killing Kiana" has never appeared.

Not to mention Xi'er.

Bronya is like this, and Bronya believes that Sakura is also like this.

My sister became a Herrscher, how could I accept this! But whether you kill your loved ones for the world or give up the entire world for your loved ones, it cannot be called the right choice.

Isn't there an option to have the best of both worlds when faced with this problem?

No!

Becoming a Herrscher doesn't mean you'll obey Honkai's orders, right? Walter, the First Herrscher, can fight for humanity, sister Mei can put a bomb on her heart to restrain the Herrscher, and can occasionally borrow his power, and Sakura's sister can definitely do the same.

And, and... Bronya thought of the vague memory in that world bubble again - Mikael, it seems that he is also a Herrscher? With his lessons learned and the wisdom of Dr. Mei, he must be thinking of ways to turn Sakura's sister into a Herrscher who fights for humanity... right?

Bronya, who thought she had the solution, felt that her hands were trembling. She hadn't been so excited for a long time. She...

But Kevin's words broke up her thoughts that were about to gather:

"Sakura, do you think you know Mei better than me? I know Mei better than anyone else. This is the only thing I am confident about. Sakura, believe me, believe us, maybe this girl has other hidden reasons for appearing here. But I can use my personality to vouch for Mei. She didn’t know about this. Even the news of Ling’s imprisonment was created by her and allowed Alicia to tell you. Isn’t this proof enough? Her position?"

The man's tone was unusually calm, like an ice surface without any ripples. In fact, there was no useful information for Bronya in the words. The reason why her thoughts were disrupted was because the tone made it difficult for Bronya not to think of someone - someone she thought. Someone who may exist here, but who has not yet appeared.

It is also the one she must defeat.

"Ah, yes."

Bronya tightened Sakura's belt again. She could feel Sakura's trembling and what she was trying to suppress.

It's almost unsuppressable anger, almost unsuppressable despair, and then these two emotions are intertwined, making people almost go crazy.

"Sister Sakura..."

"Yeah! And then! Do you think I don't want to believe Mei!!"

"Ka--"

Bronya thought it was the sound of her clenched teeth, but she soon realized that it was not. The sound came from Sakura's right hand.

Sakura's palm broke the thin frost on the handle of the knife, and the blood flowed down bit by bit along the tilt of the blade, but after a few breaths, it turned into a thin red line and merged with the ice and snow.

"Mei promised me to withdraw all the guards on this floor and let me take Ling away... She promised me! But what about now? Are you going to tell me that this is all the parliament's constraints on Mei? Then why did I help Mei kill so many people before? Besides, I can understand the previous mecha as the obstruction of the parliament, so why are you here, Kevin?"

"Da-da-da--"

The clear ice crystals slid down Sakura's face and shattered on the metal floor without a trace of temperature.

Kevin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Yes... Ying, go back. This is the last warning. I hope you can be more rational. If you turn back now, everything is still in time. You have to believe Mei. Some things... are not what she wants to see."

"What do you mean?"

Kevin exhaled a puff of white steam from his mouth.

"Ying, you...Okay, I understand. If you don't say something, you won't give up this idea at all. But Ying, you should know that if you want to know the truth, you have to bear the price of the truth. In my opinion, maybe it's better for you to know nothing..."

"..."

Ying said nothing, just stared with bloodshot eyes, expressing her determination with a stubborn look.

Kevin sighed again.

"Sakura, there is a suspicious Honkai reaction in Ling's body. The Fire Moth suspects that she has become a qualified person of the 12th Herrscher, so she is temporarily imprisoned - that's what Alicia told you."

"Yes. So what?"

"Compared to me and Mei, do you prefer to believe Alicia?"

"..."

"This is indeed not surprising. However, what Alicia said is not wrong, but... that was several hours ago after all. Two hours ago, there was another Honkai reaction in Ling's body, and this time the magnitude of the reaction was even greater."

"What does this mean? You and I also have Honkai energy reactions in our bodies. We are both fusion warriors. We both have Honkai beast genes. We can't even be called human beings, but we are still fusion warriors fighting for humanity!" Sakura took a step forward excitedly, but what she got was Kevin's unprecedented scolding: "Sakura! Wake up! We have all undergone super transformation surgery, but what about Ling? She is just an ordinary girl!" "It could also be Honkai disease, right?" Kevin's lips twitched twice, and even Bronya, who was hiding behind Sakura, shook her head slowly. Sakura... She would rather Ling be infected with the incurable Honkai disease than believe that Ling became a Herrscher. What Kevin is going to do is as simple as it can be, which is to crush all her fantasies with facts:

"Sakura, have you ever seen any Honkai disease patient or dead warrior whose body's reaction level reaches the same level as the emperor-level Honkai beast?"

"..."

"Don't have any unnecessary fantasies, Sakura, Ling, she is the twelfth Herrscher. The Herrscher is no longer human. No one in the Fire Moth knows this better than me, you should know."

"Ah... I should know, I should know... But Kevin, tell me, when you last saw Ling, was she really different from usual?"

"No."

"Then..."

"The tragedy of the sixth Honkai! Do I need to repeat it again! Sakura!"

This is the first time Bronya saw an angry look on the face of the man in front of her.

The great sword with surging flames was held horizontally in front of him. Unlike the last time, everything around him fell into a fiery heat as Kevin spoke.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Bronya just took a breath of the hot air and felt that everything from her mouth to her lungs was about to melt. Only when she held the Cold Prison Ice Sky close to Sakura's waist could this symptom be barely relieved.

"Hershers are Herrshers. From the moment they became Herrshers, their human personality no longer existed! But they learned to disguise themselves in the confrontation with humans. They would imitate the expressions of the deceased and inherit a small amount of memories of the original qualified ones, but they are Herrshers. This is the truth that every warrior of the Fire Moth must know after the seventh collapse... Last warning, Sakura, look back now, Mei will forgive all your sins for the sake of our past comrades. But if you still insist on not repenting, I can only wake you up. Come on, friend or enemy, choose."

Ah?

Ah?

Ah?

If it weren't for the scorching airflow that made Bronya unable to speak, she really wanted to shout three times like this.

No...

Bronya remembered that Mikael was also a Herrscher? Why would Kevin say such a thing, and Sakura didn't refute it at all, as if this was the truth...

What about Mikael? What about Mei and Walter...

"Hehe..."

Bronya saw Sakura slowly raise her head, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes again, but this time they did not condense into frost and fall, but just as they slid across the cheekbones, they turned into white steam with a harsh sound, leaving only a light red burn mark on Sakura's face, as if someone had cut her eyes with a knife.

"Hehehe... What kind of comradeship? In the final analysis, you and I are just knives in Mei's hands. It's just that what she uses to control you is your love for her, and what she uses to tie me down is It's just Ling. I have believed in her once, but now, I will not make such a mistake again. Maybe Ling will become a Herrscher, or not, what do the people in the base think of us? Yes, you also understand that I have to take Ling away. If she is not a Herrscher, I will come back and surrender after I put her in place. If she is a Herrscher, then I will also... then I will also have to fulfill one. A sister's duty - I want to stay with my sister until the last moment of her life, even if it's just a few minutes, even if it's just a second, so Kevin... get out of the way!"

"Sakura, Fire Chaser needs you, we need you."

Bronya could tell that this was Kevin's last attempt, but Sakura didn't answer, and Kevin didn't talk nonsense anymore. He just turned the big sword in front of him and pointed the sword's head at Sakura.

In an instant, the monstrous Honkai Energy gathered momentum under his guidance. Compared with it, the Herrscher of Thunder and Herrscher of Sky that Bronya had seen before looked like two children.

With such terrifying power, do we need to worry about the birth of another Herrscher? So how strong were the Herrschers they had faced?

Before she could figure this out, the accumulation of Honkai energy had almost reached its limit...

"Sakura, I don't want to hurt you, but I won't let you pass here either!"

coming soon!

Bronya hurriedly hid her body completely behind Sakura. There was no way. To be honest, she couldn't withstand such an attack at all. She could only place her hope on Sakura... Well, Bronya seemed to understand why. This man is the only one who has any hope of defeating Mikael.

But the attack did not fall after all. Sakura spoke just before the Honkai energy was about to explode. With just a simple word, the huge Honkai energy almost collapsed out of control——

"Kevin, when you killed Himihu, did you also believe in what you said?"

"!"

"Kevin, even though we have been 'fighting side by side' for so long, you have never seen my true abilities once, have you?"

At the end, Sakura still smiled at Kevin.

This was not used to confuse the opponent, Sakura knew that Kevin would not be shaken by any smile again - this was the last lesson Himiko taught him.

Comrades and friends are all broken up at this moment and turned into the irretrievable past.

But at least face it all with a smile - if the girl who told her that Suzu was being held saw this scene, she would at least expect this.

Goodbye, fire-chasing moth.

Goodbye, Kevin, Mei, Su, Qianjie, Aponya, Pado, Kosmo, Little Gratius, Dr. Mebius, Velvet, Hua, Eden, and... Alicia .

I have... betrayed my warrior oath... there is no turning back...

Therefore, I have to move forward and at least fulfill the promise I made as my sister...

Ice and flames continued to collide in the space around the two of them. The man held a big sword in his hand and slowly walked towards his former comrade...

One step, two steps...

When the footsteps sounded, the sound was as clear as if the space had frozen.

Three steps...

The two people in front of me disappeared.

"What!"

Kevin turned around quickly, and the two people who were supposed to be standing in front of him appeared behind him. They ran deeper into the passage without looking back, even though there was darkness where nothing could be seen clearly.

"cherry……"

Just as Kevin was about to take a step, the piercing alarm suddenly sounded.

"Woo——"

"Woo——"

"Woo——"

The siren sounded so piercingly that it made people want to cry three times. No matter which era it was in, this siren had the same meaning——

The Herrscher was born.
