The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

After the reunion, it seems inevitable that there will be a period of relative silence, but this is not the so-called embarrassment.

Because everyone is like this, when there is a long-awaited reunion in their hearts, people will always unconsciously rehearse the reunion again and again, and people will repeatedly think about how they should say the first words. In one sentence, how to explain your thoughts and joy, and how to respond to the other person's concern.

Everyone hopes that this extremely special moment can be perfect, but everyone, like these two girls, will feel powerless to break the silence in front of them in an instant.

Because it is difficult for everyone to notice one thing immediately at this time - all those who will miss the reunion in their hearts for a long time, in fact, they have never really been separated.

No matter how hasty and violent the farewell was, it was so unspeakable.

Fortunately, there was a third girl at the scene who was enough to break this heavy silence in terms of identity and emotional intelligence:

"Thunder Mei? Why are you here? According to Dr. Mei's battle plan, you should hold off Mikael. If your power is also used by Herrscher..."

"Don't worry about that."

Meiyi retracted her gaze and glanced behind her, scanning the Orlandale along the way, and finally stopped at the dolls who were cheering, "Another Herrscher has come, taking away her power."

"Except for the different expressions of the Herrscher's power, there is no difference in its own weight. The Herrscher can control the power of the Herrscher of Reason. It is just that Bronya is not complete as a Herrscher. And I am [ The emerged Herrschers have stronger power than these dolls. If they try to dominate me rashly, they will only lose their power to me. Therefore, when these guys see me coming, they will just act like a herd. Just barking like a dog."

Cold, arrogant, even simple words are filled with a hint of meanness, this is Mei that Kiana has never seen before. Maybe this is another side of Mei named [Thunder Queen] that Kiana has never known, or maybe it's just one bad thing after another forcing the girl to grow up to this point.

Hollander put a fist on his chin and asked with a slight frown:

"Why didn't you tell me during the previous combat meeting? Who told you?"

"It's Alicia."

"Who is that?"

Mei Yi lowered her head in silence.

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Like Hollander, Mei's way of entering the Domination Theater was by "running" from the Quantum Sea. It's just that the starting point is different - in essence, the Paradise of the Past is actually a world bubble anchored in a fixed space in the intrinsic world, so Mei directly enters the quantum sea from the Paradise of the Past, and then Run all the way through positioning. It's just that the Power of Thunder is sometimes more convenient than the Power of Sky when on the road. The distance is obviously further than that of Orlandale, and Mei Yi only arrived less than half a minute late.

"Mei! Himeko..."

"I saw."

Facing Kiana's reminder behind her, Mei just answered so indifferently, as if she didn't realize Himeko's death at all.

"Kiana, no matter what decision you make from now on, I will stand by your side. Let's start by retrieving Himeko's body together."

"Um!"

With sore eyes, Kiana suppressed the emotion in her heart and responded briefly but firmly.

"Be careful! The Herrscher is starting to change!"

Youlandale beside him let out a scream, and the three people who were originally gathered together immediately dispersed to both sides. In just a millisecond, a huge fist hit the place where the three people were originally standing.

"Coming again?"

Kiana bit her lip bitterly.

In an instant, the doll formed the upper body of a giant doll, and then quickly dispersed after the attack failed, leaving no chance for the three of them.

However, annihilating the Herrscher is neither the mission of Youlandel nor Mei, and Kiana only has one goal in her eyes at this time——

Jizi!

"boom!"

Hollandale's skirt opened, and blue gamma particles were sprayed out from the armored propeller. Her whole body was like a cannonball and smashed into the surrounding dolls. Huge smoke and dust rose instantly, but the next moment, It was torn apart by two huge self-propelled phantoms.

[Queen] is holding a huge shield to defend Orandale from the puppet attacks from all directions. The giant sword in [King]'s hand is quickly sweeping away everything within the attack range. The only thing Orandale has to do is to use Wander around the field at the fastest speed to make up for the lack of attack range of the self-driven eidolon.

"Now! Kiana!"

Red lightning cut into the battlefield from the other side, and small lightning arcs formed a huge thunder net, some of which quickly cut off all the silver cords on Ji Zi's body.

Ji Zi's body began to fall downwards, and the doll was naturally unwilling to lose such a useful bait. A large number of silver threads hung from the sky, trying to re-wrap Hime Zi's body, but a space crack suddenly opened just below where Ji Zi fell. , in a blink of an eye, the body was already in Kiana's arms.

"got it!"

Two rays of red and blue light flashed across, and Hollander and Mei returned to Kiana's side.

"got it!"

Kiana repeated excitedly.

"Mei Yi, Youlandale, grab my shoulders and take you out of here!"

"Wait!"×2

Mei Yi and Youlandale spoke almost at the same time. After glancing at each other, the two of them walked around behind Kiana. The three of them formed a triangle back to back, and just waited quietly for the dolls to surround them again.

"Ahhh! Stupid! Stupid! So stupid! Stupid humans!

"Working hard to get a useless corpse, human beings are really hopeless creatures, do they care so much about meaningless things? Instead of wasting time and life like this, why not join us and build a better future together? A new world—ah! What a grand vision!

"Kiana~ Open your eyes and take a good look. What is that in your arms?"

"!"

The body in her arms was cold, but at some point, the touch became extremely stiff. Kiana thought it was the unique characteristic of corpses, but when she looked down, she realized that what she was holding was just a broken puppet. .

"When was this changed?"

The lips were slightly parted, then opened to the maximum with trembling and trembling:

"You bastards! Where did you hide Himeko!!"

"Slightly, slightly, slightly -"

Without exception, the dolls danced, stuck out their tongues, turned or shook their heads. Everything is predictable, and there is nothing more joyful than directing and acting in a drama with constant twists and turns.

"We are not stupid humans. Things like corpses have no value to us at all. Guess where she is? Oh - I know, you humans always like to deal with something that is simply impossible. Have hope, right? As long as the body of the companion is not found, she can only be counted as missing. In fact, I hope that the other party is really just "missing". How about guessing that Wuliangta Himeko is dead. Are you done yet?”

"you--"

"Kiana! Don't be impulsive!"

Youlandale held down Kiana with one hand as she was about to rush out.

But she forgot that Kiana was no longer a child she could control with one hand.

Fortunately, another person also spoke up to stop Kiana's reckless behavior.

"Calm down Kiana."

The familiar voice soothed the girl's mixed emotions. The anger still existed. As time went by, the anger that no one could extinguish became stronger in her heart. But if it was Mei, Kiana was willing to temporarily suppress it for her. .

"What the Herrscher wants to see is nothing more than for you to make more irrational actions. We can't predict how many back-ups they have. We can no longer act rashly at this time."

"Then...what should I do with Himeko? Mei! What should I do with Himeko!"

"We can only give up temporarily."

"ha?"

Kiana looked at Mei's cold side face in disbelief.

"Thunder Mei is right, Kiana. If you can't give up anything, you are destined to accomplish nothing."

Youlandale added at the right time, although Miss Meiyi, whose eyes were twitching, felt that it was better for her not to speak at this time.

"But... Youlandale, didn't you just say that you don't have the habit of abandoning your comrades!"

Hollander lowered his eyes and explained in a low voice:

"If I only consider my emotions, I will definitely find Himeko even if I turn the world upside down. But... Kiana, after all, our fight is not just for our own emotions, but also for the whole world. Even if it's... No matter how powerful a person is, he will never be able to have the best of both worlds in every choice. The world may not allow us to choose the outcome we want most. Sometimes, we can only weigh the pros and cons and make decisions that go against our own will. I think. ...The Leiden Meiyi around you must be very aware of this."

Kiana turned her head sharply and realized that Mei Yi's eyelashes were a little wet.

Her lips trembled twice, and then she asked in an imperceptible breath:

"So, what should we do now?"

Unexpectedly, neither Youlandale nor Mei Yi responded to her.

The two of them remained silent, letting the whole world be filled with the laughter of the dolls and the clanging of jointed wooden blocks.

But at a certain moment, the two of them suddenly spoke at the same time:

"Three——"×2

"?"

Kiana frowned, wondering what riddle the two were playing.

"Two——"×2

When the number after three was announced, the puppets also stopped all sounds. There was no doubt that this was a countdown, but to what?

"One!"×2

Kiana's eyes relaxed and she unconsciously raised her head to look at the distant sky.

The space there was shaking violently, and the fluctuations hit Kiana's brain like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

The reaction of the doll was much slower than that of her who controlled the power of space. By the time those guys stared at the horizon with eyes covered by blindfolds, half of the Hyperion had already passed through the space rift, and the bow of the ship was The main cannon powered by the Moonlight Throne engine lit up with a dazzling blue light, facing the center of the theater. The huge noise made by the Moonlight Throne engine running at full power could be heard clearly even in the theater that spanned almost half the space.

"Kiana! Seal this area with power, and no one can be let go!"

When Kiana heard the voice, Orandale had already leaped high into the sky, with both hands raised high, as if calling for something. The next moment, a purple vortex appeared in the space above her head, and the blue-white lance was magnified countless times like a tower and pierced out of the vortex. Even with only a tip exposed, it was already about the same size as the Hyperion, which inevitably reminded people of the legend of the Tower of Light standing at the end of the world.

At the same time, all the thunderclouds in the sky of this world gathered together, even covering the eclipse's light circle layer by layer. The red lightning kept jumping between the blue-gray clouds, making a sharp sound like a thousand birds singing together, just waiting for Mei's order, and then she would raze this place to the ground together with Orandale and the Hyperion.

In contrast, although Kiana understood everyone's tactics at the first time, she was still the slowest to react. But even so, the familiarity with power brought by half a year of hard training day and night finally took effect - a double-layer imaginary barrier that only opened to the sky was generated in an instant, covering the entire center of the theater.

Many puppets rushed to the edge of the theater at the first time, but the strength of a single puppet could not break the barrier at all.

When a puppet tried to escape from the hole above his head under the pull of the silver wire, Mei took the lead -

The lightning roared and fell like an arrow, knocking a large number of puppets in the air back to the ground.

In the distant sky, the Hyperion finally completely entered this space. When the space rift closed and the space structure was relatively stable, a huge beam of light penetrated the entire world and poured into the theater through the opening at the top of the imaginary barrier without any error.

The lance like a tower at the end of the world also fell, and the huge body directly annihilated everything.

It was Mei who put the final end to the battle. A purple lightning ring appeared behind her head, and two huge mecha arms appeared together. The mecha arm drew out a sword taller than a human, accompanied by a thunder that was suppressed to the extreme, and the blood-like and fiery lightning covered the whole world.

The tower-like lance returned to the owner's hand, and the noise of the Moonlight Throne engine slowly dissipated. The lightning that was like rain and waterfalls finally left only the tiny arcs of lightning that escaped in the air.

I don't know what material the entire theater is made of. Obviously, Ji Zi's attack before could easily cut off the tall building, but under such a fierce attack, the entire theater did not collapse at all. Even the round platform that was bombarded by the Moonlight Throne and pierced by the tower-like lance only had a sharp pit in the middle, plus many cracks, but it did not collapse completely.

But it doesn't matter whether the theater is intact. On the round platform, it is already full of puppet debris.

It is not the limbs that were separated according to the joints as before, but it has been broken into messy wood fibers, and it is impossible to tell what parts are the residue.

"Success...success..."

Kiana looked at the stone platform in front of her nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief after two or three minutes when no puppet in front of her got up again.

But this good mood did not last too long...

"Will we take Jizi with us..."

"Kiana!"

Theresa's voice suddenly rang directly in Kiana's mind. She hurriedly looked at Yulan Dell and Meiyi who fell from the sky, and saw that they also put their fingers on their temples, frowning, as if listening to something.

"Let's talk about Jizi later, we... No! Retreat now! Quick Kiana! Open the space rift back to the intrinsic world for everyone! At the fastest speed!"

The solar eclipse ring above her head disappeared.

The power of space spread to the entire world bubble at once, clearly determining the position of everyone. About five or six seconds later, everyone, including Hyperion, opened the corresponding space rift in front of him. This was the limit of what Kiana could do at this moment. She could only determine that the other side of the space rift was the intrinsic world, but could not determine the corresponding specific location.

It turns out that if she had been a little slower, it would have been too late.

Jumping into the dark hole, when the space crack closed at the last moment, Kiana saw Mikael appear at the place where she was originally standing.

"Good tactics. Good destructive power."

Perhaps her ears were broken, she seemed to hear Mikael's evaluation.

No, it was not impossible for that person to say such a thing with his mental state.

…………

Crack——

Small stones rolled down from the top of the ruins, and the broken bricks and tiles shook gently. Soon, a black-haired girl came out from the ruins.

"A-choo——cough cough cough——"

What she saw was a dusty gray, and the smoke in the air choked her to sneeze and cough. Until she felt that her trachea was about to be broken, the girl suddenly remembered that she had been blessed by the power of death, and now she seemed to no longer have to rely on breathing, an inefficient means of maintaining life.

A soft green outline emanated from the edge of her body, and the girl's coughing soon stopped. Tiny silver threads emerged from her body, entangled the bricks and tiles around her, and pieced them together into a simple doll. Then, with the help of the doll, she finally dug herself out of the rubble.

But it wasn't over yet.

The girl let a simple doll made of bricks and tiles hold the opening of the ruins, then she drilled her upper body back in, and soon pulled an intact doll out of the ruins - it didn't seem to be said to be intact. , if you look closely, you will find that the neck of the doll is shorter.

"It seems that we are the only two left."

The girl breathed heavily, her tone a hint of teasing despite her exhaustion.

"I didn't expect you to save me."

The doll's neck turned one by one.

"Yes, yes. But is your brain okay? It's not damaged, right? Let's test it - who are you?"

"Bad temptation."

The puppet spat softly.

"Oh, it seems that your brain is not broken."

Even so, the girl lowered her eyes, with a hint of regret in her tone. Her hands were behind her back, silently holding a piece of sharp tile that had been hidden just now.

Then……

"Click!"

She crushed the tile, and even though her palms were injured and bleeding, she continued to exert force until the tile shattered into powder and fell from between her fingers.

She quickly repaired the wound on her palms, then placed her hands on her knees and sat upright.

Then, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the smoke in front of him.

Da da da--

The crisp footsteps made the puppet turn its head, and then it cried out in surprise:

"Lord God!"

"Um."

Mikael responded softly, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils turned back to soft pink.

The doll's expression quickly dimmed.

"Lord God, you just gave us a new order in the middle of the journey, and we all followed it, but now... everyone... is gone..."

"I know."

"ah……"

"I know everything, but now...Wendy, you can feel your power again."

Michael turned a blind eye to Guinevere and seemed to dote on the Leader more.

"I...uh...this is...everyone's power?"

It struggled to stand up, but in the end it could only turn over and crawl forward.

"Ahem...well..."

As she crawled, she touched some scattered things.

The cyan wind blew away the smoke just right for her. What she saw were endless corpses of her companions.

"It's... not over yet... hahaha... hahahaha... hahahahahahaha..."

The first and last puppet laughed wildly.

"Yeah, it worked. Everything worked."

Mikael added calmly from the side:

"The gathering of all people is more powerful than any force. The sacrifice of all people has brought about the rebirth of one person. Now, you only need to return to that stage, start your performance again, play your role well, and...

"The thread is already wrapped around her body."

"Don't worry yet."

The doll found a neck from the broken parts, took off its head, replaced the neck, and then successfully stood up.

"Yes...yes, yes...don't be anxious yet."

She nervously repeated what she had already said, making it difficult to tell whether she was speaking to the gods and Guinevere behind her, or simply speaking to herself, or both.

"Those stupid humans probably feel that they have completely killed us. In the next few days, let them relax and slack off, so that the [unbreakable alliance] they finally formed can create discord from within, and then they can show it to the world. Announce our return - yes... that's right... the next performance will not be in this small theater, because the stage of the next performance will be the whole world!" (End of this chapter)
