The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Miss Su... Miss Sushang? If I remember correctly, it happens to be the Spring Festival in China. You..."

Arvette looked at the flawless smile two steps away and felt that her luck was extremely bad.

It's not that I'm afraid of the legendary leader of Taixu. You can figure out what kind of person he is by just getting along with him for ten minutes.

It's just that the complex situation Tianming is facing now cannot be summarized in one sentence. China's actions two months ago were not in line with the status of "Destiny's ally". This time Su Chang visited the Tianming headquarters without even issuing any form of warning in advance. Notified that her ship did not send a visit signal until the warning airspace a hundred kilometers away from Destiny. The Valkyrie in charge of patrol did not dare to make her own decision, so she brought her to Arvite, who was on duty today.

But what attitude should be taken towards the head of Taixu is really a headache.

"Well... Arvette! You should have heard that a big event happened in China two months ago - the Herrscher of Knowledge actually descended directly on Taixu Mountain. Although we responded in time, nothing happened It was a heavy loss, but it still took a lot of effort to clean up the mess afterwards..."

Su Shang straightened her hair, which was messed up by the strong wind from high altitude, and gave her answer in an orderly manner. But from Arvette's point of view, something seemed strange - it seemed that Miss Su Shang's gaze was not focused on her, but behind her.

Is there anything behind you? Arvite didn't want to cause any further trouble, so she could only bite the bullet and continue asking.

"Miss Sushang, is there any necessary connection between this and your sudden visit?"

Arvette asked cautiously.

If another person had said the same thing, Arvette would definitely think that the other person was taking advantage of Shenzhou's proper response to ridicule the miserable situation that the Destiny Headquarters faced earlier when it faced the sudden arrival of the Second Herrscher.

But since it is Miss Su Shang, she will never have such intention - this is a judgment that anyone who is slightly familiar with Li Su Shang can make.

"Hey! On New Year's Day, because I had to deal with the aftermath of that incident, I didn't come to visit you... Uh, how do you say that word? A routine state visit in the New Year... But Tianming and Taixu are not countries. , Forget it, can you understand what I mean? Isn’t this just a way to make up for the previous visit during the Chinese New Year!”

Su Shang smiled and spread her hands, a series of words came out of her mouth softly, but each word was clear, like the crispness of a string of beads falling into a jade plate, even if she was often teased by her comrades. Arvette, who had so many words, had no choice but to make a comment deep down in her heart: "I am ashamed of myself."

"Well……"

Arvette hesitated.

Putting aside all personal emotional factors, Miss Sushang's words are not without flaws. At least there is one point - since it is to make up for a routine visit that should have come a month ago, why not inform Tianming in advance? If she hadn't just happened to bump into the Valkyrie on patrol, maybe the Shenzhou spaceship had been shot down by a missile. Although Miss Su Shang went to the meeting alone, there was no need to worry about the harm to her entourage, but as soon as she thought of Miss Su Shang's car being shot down, then The way a man with frizzy hair and a sword flew to the headquarters of Tianming...

"Hehe...hehehe..."

"Arvette, what are you laughing at?"

Su Chang tilted her head and looked curiously at the B-level Valkyrie who suddenly started laughing non-stop.

This kind of behavior reminded her of the prank played by the Herrscher of Knowledge a few days ago - thanks to this young master, she saw Uncle Ma smile so freely for the first time in five hundred years, and that smile appeared. The face that had gone through many vicissitudes of life and was no longer as handsome as before became inexplicably wretched. It wasn't until Senior Uncle Lin couldn't stand it anymore and went to complain to his master that the farce came to an end.

Of course, for Arvette, who didn't know Su Chang's inner activities, this simple greeting was a disastrous accusation.

"Ah...I...I..."

"Okay Su Shang, you also know how reckless your behavior is, so let's forgive Arvette's rudeness for the time being."

Suddenly, an all-too-familiar voice familiar to every destined Valkyrie sounded from behind her, but it was just a little more tired that was not easily noticed.

"Ahhhhh! Lord Bishop! When did you come!!"

"The Rakshasa has been here since the first question you asked. It's just that he asked me not to remind you. I'm sorry, Arvite."

Su Chang waved her hands grandly, as if she wanted to forgive Arvette, not the other way around.

"Okay, Arvite, you did a great job...but next, can you let me and Miss Sushang be alone for a while?"

"oh oh!"

Arvite finally reacted, and after a hurried salute, she consciously left the scene as quickly as possible.

"Pfft...he is really an interesting kid."

Chasing the Valkyrie's retreating back, Su Chang crossed her arms and deliberately used the mature tone she learned from her master and master.

What's the purpose of this? Is it to show another person's maturity? Su Shang couldn't accurately grasp her own mentality.

But the Rakshasa didn't respond to her - not respond to her in any way.

Pushing aside her long hair that was blown again by the wind, Su Shang turned around, took two steps slowly, and walked to the man who had been alone for five hundred years.

Neither of them spoke, and Su Chang could hardly bear it. She accompanied Otto and stood at the hub of the floating port, blowing the wind that was still strong after being filtered by the destiny shield, and watching the transport planes coming and going. Luoluo, listening to the noise and excitement, but could not hear any of the human voices clearly.

In fact, it might be good to keep this moment like this - knowing that if this hypothesis really happened, she would definitely regret it in the future, but she still couldn't help but let this thought fly for two or three seconds.

Not a single cloud could be seen in the dark blue sky, and for a moment, there was no sustenance in the mind. It was not until the line of sight gradually calmed down that the observer realized that the clouds were only under his feet.

Looking back on the era when I was just born, there were always people who imagined that they could fly like a bird. Humans are such arrogant creatures. There are always people who refuse to acknowledge the limitations of the species brought about by being born human and instead pursue the impossible goal. Even if this target will be shattered to pieces along with himself...

But for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, humans have indeed done this. Gods seem to have given humans some kind of blessing that is not obvious - over a long period of time, as long as humans want to, there seems to be nothing they can't do in the end.

Isn't this true? Just a few decades after humans mastered the ability to fly, they were able to fly to places that the birds they once envied could never fly.

But what does this mean to humans?

"Ah……"

Otto Apokalis sighed helplessly, which seemed to be a signal, and the girl standing next to her also relaxed.

"Hey Rakshasa! Are you...something wrong today?"

"Really? Why didn't I feel it?"

The man's voice was erratic. It no longer had the indispensable arrogance of the past, but seemed like rootless duckweed.

Girl - Even if the other person is a complete old girl, Otto still prefers to call her a girl or girl in his heart, as if the other person already knows his real name but still likes to call him "Rakshasa".

The reason was actually very clear to him. Nothing more than that, Otto Apocalis is a name for everyone, but Rakshasa is a secret that only belongs to her and him.

Otto knew this very well, but in the past five hundred years, he had never taken it to heart.

Only today is different.

He couldn't tell clearly what the emotions surging inside him were, just like he couldn't tell where the rolling clouds under his feet would appear tomorrow morning.

"Well……"

The Rakshasa's reaction - he immediately claimed that he was fine, but his reaction was interspersed with sighs between every breath, made Su Shang convinced that he had really encountered some unsolvable problem.

After all, this was the first time she had seen him like this since she knew him.

"you……"

[Speaking], such a simple thing becomes so difficult in an instant. It’s not that it can’t be done, but that it needs to be carefully polished to ensure that there is no irritation in the words... In the end, she doesn’t Know what happened to the Rakshasa people.

"In the past, if you encountered this kind of situation, you would definitely encourage Arvette in the end and give you some material rewards."

That was all she could say.

"Oh. Was the me before so disgusting?"

"?"

Caught off guard, one of Su Chang's hands unconsciously grabbed Otto's cuff.

As if he had expected such a reaction from the girl in front of him, Otto turned sideways, loosened his eye-catching blood-red tie, and asked with a smile:

"Stop talking about me, what about you, Miss Sushang? If it was an official visit, you wouldn't have informed me in advance, and you wouldn't have come alone, right? It's the Spring Festival in China right now, I heard Immortal Chi Yuan returned to Taixu Mountain and summoned all the Seven Swordsmen of Taixu back, including your mother. Aren’t you Chinese people most particular about getting together during the New Year? Why do you come all the way to me?”

After saying this long series of words, the smile on Otto Apokalis' face had long since disappeared. Not only was the very nervous Su Chang noticed something was wrong with him, he himself was not ignorant about it, or in other words, he knew very well the reasons for the changes in his body. But he didn't expect that even his tone of voice would change so much.

"My mother has gone back to Sichuan a long time ago."

Su Shang spread her hands indifferently.

"You and your mother should have a good relationship, right?"

"It's not bad, but as she gets older, her brain circuit becomes more and more difficult to understand. She prays to God and worships Buddha every day... Forget it, it's not easy for me to speak ill of my mother. You know my master, I can't handle it. Come on. Master... As for the masters and uncles, the friendship is not that deep."

"But these are all excuses, right?"

"Well……"

Su Shang wiped the sweat from her forehead and nodded helplessly, tentatively admitting it.

"Honestly - Rakshasa, I don't want to irritate you, it's just...it was indeed Mikael who asked me to come."

"..."

"As you know, he has some friendship with my master, so he is also... in... Taixu Mountain. Well, he is basically there during this time."

"You, you just said it so openly?"

"So what? The covenant between Tianming and Shenzhou did not agree to fight against the World Snake. I found it all night and read it word for word."

"hehe."

Otto suddenly wanted to laugh, but when he saw the girl in front of him deliberately making a smile that was as heartless as five hundred years ago, he actually laughed out loud.

Different from the various fake smiles that I was already familiar with, this time the smile came from the heart, but the reason was unknown.

But it doesn’t matter.

"So, what did that man say to you?"

wrong! has a problem!

Otto himself couldn't explain why it had been several seconds since he heard the man's name, and why his vigilance was delayed.

But after two seconds, he thought again that at this moment, he seemed to be no longer qualified to be the opponent's enemy.

"Well……"

Su Shang's face suddenly turned red.

"Um?"

Otto frowned, and after sighing hastily, he took Su Chang's hand and said softly:

"It's better not to talk about it here. It's such a winter, your face is already red from the cold."

"..."

Su Shang slowly raised her free hand and put it on her cheek. The warmth from her palm was completely opposite to the chill left by the wind on the back of her hand.

Otto lowered his head and stared at his hands silently. His hands were on Su Chang's sleeves and he didn't go any further.

But with a slight exertion, Su Chang's figure remained motionless.

"He didn't say anything to me, he just said... maybe you need me now."

"...Pfft! What does he think of me? Do his descendants have to follow his old path? It's really ridiculous."

Su Shang didn't understand what the Rakshasa people were talking about. But she could feel that the Rakshasa people didn't seem as angry as their words showed.

Of course, there is a little bit of anger, but it is more of a suppressed thing.

Although he obviously has no ability of mental perception, Su Chang feels that at this moment, the Rakshasa people's hearts are like the sky before the heavy rain falls in summer.

Low and thick dark clouds, a warm breeze blowing a few plastic bags and fallen leaves in the streets, and a dull air that makes you feel like you are covered with a sweat-soaked quilt when you take a deep breath.

In this situation, she could only smile awkwardly.

The master's man also said that the Rakshasa people needed her, but she didn't even know what the Rakshasa people needed at the moment.

"..."

It seems like... I don't know?

Confused, yes, confused.

Somehow, Su Chang managed to accurately grasp what was in the Rakshasa people's hearts through the thick clouds.

But she couldn't believe that such a Rakshasa would be confused one day?

"And you, Su Shang. Just because of that man's words, you came all the way to Tianming? You are no longer the Su Shang you were five hundred years ago. Think about the China you carry."

When Su Shang came back to her senses, she found that the Rakshasa people were scolding her.

But compared to the shame and anger that a critic should feel, Su Chang's face showed a look of indifference.

"Rakshasa, you... seem to be particularly concerned about this girl today."

"?"

Otto silently let go of his hand, and his eyes gradually became dull, as if he was thinking about which moment in today's relationship went beyond the bounds.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to pursue this!"

Time seemed to go back five hundred years in an instant. Su Chang raised her hand and patted the Rakshasa man's arm briskly. She wanted to hold his hand like a normal friend, but at the last moment, she He took his hand back and put it behind his back deftly.

"Rakshasa, will you tell me a story?"

"What?"

"You don't seem to be the type who does everything personally, right? Otherwise, Amber might doubt her efficiency. So, anyway, if you have time... come tell me a story! And you always brag. Give me a taste of that red wine! The last time you encouraged me, I was not yet an adult, but things are different now!”

Su Chang patted her chest hard, as if to show her growth to the Rakshasa people in this way.

"Didn't I tell you those things five hundred years ago?"

"Please Rakshasa! Don't you remember anything about what you said five hundred years ago? I heard it from beginning to end, and I just got a rough idea. Even what is the name of that 'her'? Didn't even tell me!"

Indeed, Otto did not take the initiative to mention Kallen's name, but what happened at the beginning, with Su Chang's status, he could get the name with just a little inquiry.

"Besides, I just asked you to tell a story, but I didn't ask you to tell that story! Those things... If I remember correctly, you told me about them at the end of the last century - I want to hear it now "It's your current thoughts, your current mood, or what happened?"

"That's it..."

Unconsciously, Otto bit his lower lip gently.

"Let's go, Miss Sushang. No matter what you want to hear, I will satisfy you, but only today, only in my office. So... come with me."

Otto took half a step back, leaned slightly, and stretched out his hand towards Su Shang.

Su Chang hesitated for a moment and put her hand on it, but then she was dragged forward semi-forcefully by the Rakshasa.

Otto...Otto Apocalis's consciousness was in a trance.

Five hundred years ago, he handed over all the mundane matters of destiny to Ottovilla, but he devoted himself to an impossible task. The whereabouts of the bodies of Kallen and Eleanor were unknown. Fortunately, he had left their body tissues long ago and was sorting out the knowledge in the void. With the power of the Sixth God's Key, he successfully reappeared. The bodies of the two were killed - unfortunately, they were just two soulless bodies.

In order to understand the mystery of the soul, even though he knew that he would probably get nothing, he resolutely embarked on the road to find the Red Kite Immortal who he had met once.

From Klosten to Taixu Mountain, it is more than 99,900 miles. He had walked this road once when he was young, but the second time, carrying two coffins on his back, it was naturally not going to be an easy journey.

However, everything has changed since I encountered that apricot color in the yellow sand of the Western Region.

The journey is no longer long, boring and lifeless.

Now that he recalls that past, Otto's memory rarely has other colors.

Even in the end, as expected, he got a futile result, but he never felt in his heart that the short one-year relationship was meaningless.

He suddenly understood what his annoying and troublesome "ancestor" meant when he said that he needed Su Shang at this moment.

It's his own thoughts that are dirty.

Putting aside the unconcealable throbbing in her teenage years, Su Chang was the friend who had been with him the longest in the world, and the only friend who had been with him almost from the beginning. And the same is true for Su Shang.

What lies between them is a special and unique friendship that has lasted for five hundred years.

Moreover, Su Shang's attitude is very special. She has a close personal relationship with him, but her attitude on "big things" is biased towards the anti-entropy side. The carrier of Eleanor's appearance, the Valkyrie Anna Shaniat, is still in the hands of Anti-Entropy. If he doesn't want to come forward directly, it is also a good choice to use Su Chang to insinuate.

Although he was very sorry for such use, this news was too important to him - no one had witnessed the end of Eleanor and Karen, even "the two of them saved Klosten". The instructions on that last note.

Since there were no witnesses, perhaps they were not dead at all, and Eleanor's [existence] confirmed this.

But in this case, what was the purpose of these long five hundred years that he spent?

It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that his thinking had a strange differentiation - he actually put emotional friendship before rational gains and losses.

never mind……

The journey from the airport to the bishop's office was long, but in the eyes of the two of them, this long journey was somehow shortened to a moment.

Walking into the familiar office, Su Chang looked around at the changes to ease her embarrassment.

"boom!"

"ah!"

A sudden explosion almost scared her out of her mind. When she turned around, she discovered that the Rakshasa man was holding a wine bottle, with white steam floating gently around the mouth of the bottle.

"Is this your red wine?"

Su Shang tilted her head and asked.

"No, I want champagne today."

Su Shang nodded. It wasn't that she really didn't understand. It was just because of some unspeakable psychology that she acted out her original appearance in front of the Rakshasa people.

The Rakshasa people always seemed to like to keep the curtains open, and the light in the room was dim. She could vaguely see the Rakshasa people holding the wine glass and handing it to her.

Su Shang took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

There was no bitterness from alcohol as expected, and the dense bubbles spread on the tongue with a slight sweetness, but it also took away the possibility of Su Chang to say something.

At this moment, Otto's dull voice sounded again:

"Miss Sushang, could you please put me in my perspective next time?"

Without waiting for Su Chang to answer, the Rakshasa man continued talking on his own.

But just the first sentence made Su Chang stunned:

"If... if, Karen is still alive, if you were me, what would you... do?"
