The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

Time passes faster and faster, as if a pair of hands has inserted the power of time, turning the minute hand, second hand, and hour hand like clockwork.

One day, two days...a week, two weeks...a month passed quickly.

Waiting is the hardest part.

If you know something is about to happen but you can't tell when it will happen, all you can do is sit around and wait meaninglessly.

At the beginning, the soldiers of the fifth team were nervous to maintain the highest combat readiness every day. Everyone seemed to be crawling with ants, and they couldn't take any time off at all.

A week later, the combat readiness status has not been lifted, but all the soldiers' faces are full of exhaustion, like night watchmen who have not dared to sleep for a long time, and can be restless for most of the day at the slightest disturbance.

Half a month later, the smiles on the faces of the soldiers grew more and more, and they seemed to have returned to normal life.

Today is the 31st day of entering the state of combat readiness. With the one-month period that Mikael privately declared has passed, there is no danger in Canghai City, and even the entire Shenzhou and Far East regions, except for the occasional abnormal reaction of Honkai energy. Everyone's heartstrings relaxed.

Even Mikael himself has some doubts about his judgment: Could it be that the small-scale collapse that has occurred in the past few months is not an appetizer for the birth of Herrscher, but a "normal" collapse phenomenon?

He wasn't sure what to eat, so he got up early in the morning and asked Yimer to investigate the holiday situation of Hua's school.

But until lunch time, I didn't get a reply from this new otaku.

"Oh! Mikael, you should just smile! Could it be that you are angry because of your error in judgment? The collapse didn't happen, so this should be considered a good thing! Look how happy everyone is laughing!"

Ellie stuffed a piece of hard brown bread into her mouth while looking at the jam and butter on Mikael's plate.

Mikael silently pushed the plate forward, "Okay, okay, considering that you have lost two kilograms this week..."

He crossed his hands and put his chin on it, and reminded with concern: "We are not sure whether the collapse will really stop happening. It may never happen, or it may happen tomorrow... No, it may happen in the next second, so For us, we have to be vigilant every second.”

Alicia pouted, "Oh, of course I know this! But think about it! People are not cold machines that can run around the clock! We also need to relax! Look, you are I was very nervous and anxious for a while, and I had several pimples on my face!”

Mikael glanced at Ellie's chubby face and retorted: "That's better than some people eating too many sweets, being overweight, and being ordered to lose weight by the captain."

As he spoke, he held up a plate with a triangular cake in front of Ellie.

Ellie's pupils shrank, her eyes widened unconsciously, and she even forgot to chew the sawdust-like bread in her mouth.

Then……

Mikael opened his huge abyss mouth and swallowed the cake until no shadow was left.

He even went so far as to lick all the remaining butter on the plate.

"Ahhhhh!!! Mikael! That's the cake Captain Himiko rewarded me with! Give it back to me!!"

"Don't make trouble..."

Under the astonished gazes of the other soldiers in the restaurant, Mikael put an index finger on the top of Ellie's head, keeping her in place. Her hands were spinning like two big windmills, but they were too short and could not touch Mi. Kyle.

After a while, she stamped her feet on the spot and said helplessly and furiously: "Wow wow wow wow! Brothers and sisters of the fifth team! Mikael bullied me! Woo hoo! He is a big liar! He cheated me of my most valuable thing. s things……"

Knowing that something was wrong, Mikael covered Ellie's mouth, put her on his shoulders and ran away.

"Ai Li is still so noisy..." Himihu sighed helplessly as he rubbed his frown away.

She then turned to a group of soldiers eating melons and shouted: "Why are you dazed! It's time to eat and eat! We will practice more this afternoon! Where is Ymer? If he is absent tonight, he will not be able to rest tonight!"

There was a sudden wailing in the restaurant.

Only Mebius and Klein, who were sitting in the corner, remained unmoved. As usual, they cleared away the lunch in front of them quickly and without being rude.

Mikael carried Ellie and ran to the rooftop - he seemed to like this kind of windy place more and more.

After Ellie went to the ground, she still had a menacing expression. She was obviously planning to turn against Mikael and fight for 300 rounds over a cake.

Mikael poked her cheek angrily and amusedly, "You think I don't know that you took a day off tonight and are going to Biluo Mansion for dinner with Eden!"

Ai Li's secret was exposed, her aggressive expression disappeared, and she suddenly became panicked.

"Hey! How did you know! No, no, no... I mean, how did you know that it was Eden's!"

"Is it difficult to guess? From the sound, it looks like... I recognized her that night anyway. How dare you say it! Biluo Building... I want to eat there too..."

Mikael sighed as he rubbed his belly. He didn't just say it casually. As Ellie said, since he came to this world, his spirit has been under high pressure. Recently, he has really been unable to bear it... and thinking about it carefully, he, who was once a big foodie, has almost It’s been seven years since I really tasted some delicious food...

In fact, it was not that I had no time during my previous travels... I just had no money...

Now I have money... but no time or thought...

So he was a little helpless and missed the past.

Naturally, Aili could not fail to see his sigh. She hesitated slightly and said:

"How about I say hello to Eden and you go in my place tonight?"

Mikael chuckled twice, "What does this mean? You are the one they invited and the one we can talk to is you. If I go, won't it be awkward for me!"

Ai Li rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "It doesn't matter. Eden will hold a total of thirty-two concerts in China. There are five concerts in Canghai City. We have only held two now. There will be more opportunities in the future. I Let’s talk tonight and ask Eden to invite the two of us together next time... Hey! Her restaurant in Biluo Building only has one reserved double seat... But it’s okay for a big star like her, get another one! A table for four is just a matter of words!”

Mikael scratched her nose and hesitated, "No... I'm so embarrassed..."

"That's really not possible...I'll pay for it! Ask Eden for that double seat, and we can go out to eat next time. How about it! Hehe! I'll try some delicious dishes tonight!"

"..." Mikael was silent for a moment and uttered one word, "Okay."

A flawless smile broke out on Ellie's face.

In fact, there were things she didn't tell Mikael about Eden. For example, that night, Eden chatted with her for almost half an hour. In addition to talking about art and human opinions, the two of them talked about Mikael the most.

"Were your names given by your parents?"

"No! We are in the same orphanage..."

"Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't expect... Then, did the mother from the orphanage pick it up for you?"

"That's not true! His name was given by Celia's mother, and I picked my name myself by reading a fairy tale book. It just happened to be decided on the same day, and the meaning is such a coincidence!"

"Haha, Ellie, do you believe in fate? Maybe this is a sign from somewhere."

"Ah! Yes...no, oh! It's really just a coincidence anyway!"

Although there were no mirrors at that time, Ellie could tell how red her face was just from the temperature. Fortunately, the sky was dark and Eden couldn't see it...but she should have guessed it.

"Is he worried about something recently?"

"Hey! He is a bit too pessimistic sometimes! He always feels that the world will be destroyed in the next second! But it doesn't matter, I am always by his side, and as long as I am here, he will be very happy!"

"No, Ellie. I can see that the deep sorrow he carries... is very heavy, and a large part of it is the sorrow for you."

Mikael stayed alone on the rooftop. He was going to take half a day off - just half a day.

He took out his phone and found that Yimer had already replied to his message:

[That school had already closed the day before yesterday, but there should still be students staying at the school and they will go home in a few days. 】

Mikael looked at Ymer's account avatar, which showed him sleeping with his face covered by his underpants. He tapped the screen of his phone with his thumbs in vain and remained silent for a long time.

He typed another line:

[Can you check if the two girls left school last time? 】

But I didn't get an answer all afternoon.

With nothing to do, he sat on the roof, just looking at the sky and the clouds until evening - when the setting sun had already set on the horizon, but the sky was still a little bright and the neon lights had not yet been fully turned on.

A drop of rain fell on the tip of his nose.

Mikael looked up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a dark and ominous cloud running towards Canghai City from the east sea at high speed, swirling in the blink of an eye.

The world seemed to quiet down at this moment.

The dark cloud seemed to have a huge weight, and its height was very low, giving Mikael the illusion that he could touch it if he stretched out his hand.

I don't know which direction the wind is coming from. I can only hear the whining sound. The clouds spread out, making the entire sky dark. Flashes of lightning-like light burst out between the clouds repeatedly, becoming more frequent and continuous. The sound of the rushing wind gradually increased, almost shaking the entire building.

"Click!" The three-letter signboard of MHY was swept away by the strong wind and disappeared from the sky in an instant.

Mikael held on to the railing and struggled to stand.

He looked at the clouds with splitting eyes, and then countless large holes opened in the clouds, and countless brilliant meteors fell down among the rain.

But Mikael didn't find it romantic.

Because the thing that was emitting colorful light looked like he was falling - it was a temple-level Honkai Beast that was more than fifty meters tall!
