The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"boom!"

As soon as the biting frost showed signs of condensation, the exaggerated woman withdrew her hand, grabbed the brim of her hat, and flicked it away to scatter the ice and snow condensed by Rita beside her.

The broken ice crystals were floating in the air, but they were pulled by an invisible force. They did not disperse for a long time. Instead, they cooled into a blue frost-colored mist in the air, obstructing Velvet's sight.

"Anna!"

"Drink!"

Hearing the Valkyrie's violent shouts, Velvet withstood the cold mist vigilantly, but unexpectedly, the blond Valkyrie rushed past her and passed her by.

Then, more Valkyries and the only man in the team also passed by from both sides without even turning to look at her.

"Hey! You...why are you so unruly!"

Stomping her feet lightly, everyone could tell that this woman made this gesture deliberately. After all, there was no annoyance in her tone. What could be caught was a kind of playfulness that could be called "playfulness". "Emotions. Of course, if someone who is familiar with her hears such words, there is no need to rely on speculation - Velvi, especially Velvi with a magician personality, how can she be qualified to accuse others of not following the rules?

Turning sideways and looking at the Valkyries running towards the Hyperion without looking back, Velvet put her hands on her hips and sighed in disinterest.

"It's true that today's children have said that there will be a grand performance waiting for you next. Why are you all so anxious and don't even have the thought to stop and take a look? This is a magic that I have studied for 50,000 years... ...Eh! Why are you like this!"

With a slight wave of her hat, Velvet easily blocked Rita's horizontal scythe. She was dressed like a magician, but she danced elegantly in the biting cold air, her plump figure twisting out of her body. The beautiful arc always narrowly missed the giant scythe filled with cold murderous intent, but no matter how Rita increased her speed, the opponent always seemed to be able to react first without destroying the coherence of the dance.

"Hahaha! How about it? I haven't been sleeping for the past fifty thousand years, right? Although dancing is obviously more professional if it is done by a [dancer], but I think this can also be regarded as Magic! Or rather - the prelude to magic... [Magician], you are a little too proud. You clearly asked me to create a [Dancer] personality to merge with you... Ha? , I’m not you? Even though you are the [Conductor], there is no need to separate us so clearly, you were not like this before!”

"This woman, what nonsense is she talking about?"

Confused, Rita pulled away. There was no need to continue to test close to her. Although the woman in front of her did not take out a weapon, judging from her clothing matching habits and figure, she was definitely not the type to practice close combat for a long time. But her dodge was so easy. If it weren't for the grace of her dance, the winner might have been decided...

Is this the difference between the two eras? A trace of decadence arose in Rita's heart, and was quickly dispelled by her - as the other party said, after all, it is the accumulation of fifty thousand years. In such a long time, even a fool can be cultivated into a top scholar. Not to mention anything else.

My current task is to hold this woman back and buy the Snow Lotus Team time to complete the task. It is a good thing that the other party is immersed in talking to himself now...

Just as she was thinking this, the woman in front of her suddenly stopped arguing with "himself", lifted up her dark and light blond hair, and waved to Rita.

"Oh, by the way, where did we just talk? Oops! It's all the fault of [Conductor] for suddenly causing trouble... Oh! I'm so sorry, I haven't introduced myself for so long - my name is Velvet, you must remember me Oh! What a pity. I have been preparing for this magic for 50,000 years. I originally expected to get more cheers and applause from the audience, but since you are the only one left here, So……"

Velvet blinked and smiled, and threw her imaginary right hand into the air. Six dice-sized blocks flipped and transformed, finally forming six small flying saucers with sharp blades on their corners, spinning around Velvet.

"Then, your cheer alone should be able to outlast a group of people, right? Otherwise, this performance would be too boring for me as a performer."

"coming soon!"

As the other party finished speaking, Rita immediately lowered her center of gravity and paid close attention to Velvet's every move.

But what was surprising was that Velvet suddenly patted the hat on her head hard again.

"Oops! I'm so sorry, I just took the wrong prop. Did it make you nervous in vain?"

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Rita's nerves instinctively relaxed for a moment following Velvet's words.

Then, Velvet suddenly raised her hand and unbuttoned the shirt on her chest.

"Um?"

"Wow——"

Underneath the exaggerated clothes was an armor that Rita had seen in the information, although the color was slightly different...

"True Red Knight Eclipse... no, it's the blank key of the pre-civilization!"

"Yes! But there is no reward for saying the name of the magician's prop, only punishment!"

Velvet gathered her hands in front of her chest, and then opened them suddenly. The cyan light flowed through her body as she stretched, and even changed the color of the pitch-black armor.

"This power is..."

"Come on, let's see which one is stronger, the wind or the ice and snow! Oh oh oh! I almost forgot, after all, I am not the kind of fusion warrior who is good at frontal combat. To deal with an S-class Valkyrie like you, I still have to have some skills. Some advantages in quantity are safe!”

She clapped her hands, and several black shadows flashed past, finally falling around Rita, forming a faint encirclement.

It was exactly the same as Velvet. Only by carefully observing the joints could one tell that it was a doll. However, these dolls are also equipped with the same control keys as Velvet herself.

"Hey... I'm in some trouble now."

Rita's smile remained as elegant as ever, but a drop of cold sweat fell from her forehead, which was covered by her bangs.

…………

The tunnel was dark and long. When he traced the tunnel wall with his fingers, his fingertips were stained with a little cold water, which made Mebius couldn't help but think of things that happened a long time ago...a long time ago.

"well……"

He sighed and continued walking forward step by step, walking on this road with almost no end in sight.

You know clearly that the reason why a tunnel is a tunnel is because no matter how long it is, it will always come to an end. No, this is true for all roads and things in the world. Where there is a beginning, there is an end. However, if the process in the middle is so long that people cannot finish it, it is the same as having no end.

"Um."

The darkness seems to be falling in a very distant place, or it seems to be close in front of you, blinding everything. But since you have come here, you can only keep going, keep going, and look forward to the pinpoint-sized light spots. Lights up in sight.

"Ah!"

Compared to the process she took all the way here, the short distance in this tunnel can be called a "walk" to relax her mood, but judging from the actual results, her mood was not relaxed.

She continued to move forward, and walked, and walked. The light spots that swayed along with the footsteps were like confused fireflies in the night sky. People couldn't help but want to catch them with their hands, even though they knew that this was impossible.

But aren't humans such stubborn creatures?

Always so arrogant, always so stubborn, always feeling that as long as we keep accumulating step by step, we will reach the end one day. In this regard, Mebius considers herself the best among humans, until she meets the girl...

But now all this has passed.

What Mebius wants to do is completely different from what it was 50,000 years ago, but right now, there is no difference.

She still needs to move forward, one step after another.

When grains are piled up on the table, humans will never be able to figure out which grain turned them into a heap. Mebius didn't know exactly which step he took to turn the firefly-like light spot into a door-shaped halo.

She has long since passed the age of immersing her mind in this kind of thinking...

Closing her eyes, the complete darkness made it harder to maintain balance, but she didn't care.

Walking forward step by step with your eyes closed is a different experience. The ever-changing sound of airflow in her ears was enough to tell her exactly where she was.

Suddenly, the sounds in my ears became brighter and more mixed.

The sound of the rolling waves drifted into my ears, spinning, spinning, spinning in my mind...

Mebius opened her eyes, and what appeared in front of her were the criss-crossing passages and the slowly rotating giant blue eyes.

"Oh... Atla, Te Moana Kino... everything has changed. Everything is completely different from what it was 50,000 years ago. Only this thing that once swallowed up the entire Mu continent remains unchanged."

"..."

"Don't be silent, Mei. What about you, what do you think?"

Mebius turned sideways, and Mei stood three steps behind her, with her left hand in her white coat, and her right hand holding a pistol flat, with the muzzle of the gun pointed steadily at Mebius' body.

"Don't move, Mebius."

The wide lenses were smeared with dazzling blue light, making it impossible for Mebius to see Mei's eyes clearly. But it's not that important.

"Haha. Gun? Are you sure you want to face me with this? I thought it would be the Blank Key."

"Don't underestimate it."

May's lips opened and closed emotionlessly.

"Even an adult should retain a sense of awe when facing a three-year-old child holding a knife, right?"

"Hey! So what? That's a rule for ordinary people, and it's useless to me."

Mebius turned around without any scruples and took one, two, three steps forward.

With the pistol pressed against his chest, Mebius continued to lean forward until the fat layer near the muzzle was deeply sunken. She raised her hand, but did not remove the pistol. Instead, she loosened the tight black tie.

"You just appeared in front of me like this just to show off your retarded IQ to me, right, Mei? Or have you forgotten what kind of Honkaimon I fused with?"

Mei didn't answer and just pulled the trigger.

"Click——"

There was a soft sound in the barrel of the gun. Mebius sneered, grabbed the barrel of the gun, twisted it hard, took the gun out of Mei's hand, and threw it to the ground.

Dark sludge flowed out from every crack in the gun body. By speaking, Mebius had already made the gun incapable of being fired.

Mebius is obviously not as fearless as she lets on.

Of course she was confident that she would not die. Being in such a different place, she couldn't even figure out how to kill herself with the power Mei had.

But... the woman in front of her is Mei after all, a Mei who can make her gradually lose her desire to compare in all aspects...

There was only one such woman in her fifty thousand years of life. Even Alicia has something that can beat her.

But Mei...

Even if she was standing here as a mortal, even if she was holding a weapon that could never kill her, Mebius didn't dare to slack off at all.

Because this woman, as long as she exists here, you can't believe that she didn't come prepared.

"So... Mei, how are you going to kill me? Or are you just bluffing to delay time? Theresa was knocked unconscious by me, but Velvet didn't show up. Are you going to deal with Destiny? You Are you trying to buy her time?"

After losing her pistol, Mei didn't panic. She silently put her right hand that was holding the gun into the pocket of her white coat and took half a step back.

Mebius's eyes were almost narrowed into slits. Although she was not the one who stepped back, looking at Mei's calm and calm look, she did not dare to relax at all.

"Mebius, why are you here?"

"Um?"

Mei suddenly spoke, but in a tone that Mebius never expected - without any hostility, just like old friends chatting with each other. It was as if she wasn't the one who pointed the gun at Mebius just a moment ago.

"Does this need to be said? You who have read the 'script' should also know it very well. Naturally, I am here to welcome the number one Herrscher of this era to join the World Serpent."

"You seem confident about this."

"Of course, weren't you like this before - as long as Alicia is still alive, the possible suppression arrangements you made for Mikael's rampage are not as strong as those for Qianjie. As long as you can control Xi'er, the first Not to mention those who are uniform.”

"Um……"

Mei responded softly and nodded noncommittally.

"Is this Mikael's order or your own idea?"

Mebius pursed his lips and did not answer the question.

"That's it..."

Mei seemed to understand something.

"However, it doesn't matter to me whether you came here in Mikael's plan or outside his plan. After all, what I want to do here is to offer relief to you, the immortal. "

"Hmph! Stop pretending to be a fool here!"

The figure of Mebius appeared in front of Mei, the mud stretched along her nails, condensed with long sharp claws, and clasped directly to Mei's neck.

She didn't feel the need to talk nonsense anymore. If Mei was really fully prepared, there would be no need to talk nonsense with her.

However, when the slender claws were about to pierce Mei's neck, looking at his old friend who did not make any dodge, Mebius finally turned his hand, preparing to give her a strong hand knife to knock her out. .

Then, Mei disappeared into thin air before her eyes.

There was a chill on her neck, and time became extremely slow at this moment, slow enough for her to hear Mei's words clearly——

"Mebius, why do you think I'm still the same Mei I was 50,000 years ago?"

When his head flew up and his vision flipped, Mebius saw the broken Third God Key in Mei's hand.

It took close to a second from the time her head flew to the ground. She also saw Mei take off her glasses. Her bright eyes behind the lenses showed no trace of her original nearsightedness.

"Sorry, this is a flat mirror."

But Mebius couldn't hear it anymore, and she fell into a darkness mixed with emerald green.
