The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Bronya Zaicek, Sile Fleur, Anna Shaniat, and Chen Tianwu...are there just the four of you? It's really ridiculous. Where's Kevin? Where's Sue? Will. Where is Wei? Where is Youlandale? Are you hiding and preparing for some petty theft, or are you preparing for the intervention of the gods?

"Oh, do you think that just these few people can hold back the Lord God? Or do you think that the strength of the four of you alone is enough to defeat me and rescue Kiana?"

The Herrscher leaned his stiff body against the handrail of the stairs, his tone was lazy and joking, but there was no trace of tension.

The silver silk thread trembled slightly. Although the puppet it was connected to did not move, the trembling was like human breathing or the swimming of a shark, which was proof of the Herrscher's power [existence]. The swaying candlelight echoed the trembling of the silver thread, and the flowing brilliance brought by the flame to the silver thread trembled, but it was a bit more strange and sacred, as if it really was the so-called "Thread of Destiny".

"Defeat you and rescue Kiana? The four of us are indeed enough to do this kind of thing. After all, you are the weakest Herrscher in history."

Bronya stood in the palm of the heavily armored rabbit and slowly floated forward for a distance.

"Hey, I really don't know the so-called confidence."

The doll glanced at Bronya's thin body, and then yawned out of boredom.

"Human beings are such arrogant and stupid creatures. They wishfully think that I will be fooled by such a simple provocation. They also wishfully think that their plans are seamless and will never be seen through. Hey, do you think I have a bad memory? Okay, so Raiden Meiyi wasn’t mentioned at all?”

The name [Thunder and Lightning Meiyi] finally made Bronya react. Her eyes narrowed, and her gaze suddenly focused on the silver line above the Herrscher's head, which was visibly solemn to the naked eye.

The silver thread she was watching twitched slightly, and the puppet under the silver thread slowly spread its hands:

"Why haven't you attacked yet? What are you waiting for?"

The corners of the doll's mouth turned upward until they were submerged under the dark eye patch, which seemed to be connected to the corners of the eyes.

"Do you feel that the surroundings are a little quiet? Are you thinking - [Huh? Why is there no explosion sound from upstairs? Shouldn't Meiyi break into the tower and take Kiana away at this time? Meiyi's Did the operation fail? Why did this happen? 】

"It's a pity, it's a pity. Don't you think you are too lacking in creativity? It will always be this way, always this way! The last time it was an attack on the east and the west, this time it is still an attack on the east... Such a clumsy and simple tactic is your trump card. , your self-confidence? Sigh...it's really pitiful.

"Ugh! It's so pitiful that I can't stand it anymore... Huhuhu - let me explain to you, this tower has long been integrated with the concept of [dominance], or to put it another way , at this moment, you are in the body of the real Herrscher of Dominance. Naturally, the space in this can be changed according to my wishes... Raiden Meiyi, who is trying to commit petty theft, should be trapped in a secret room now, right? "

The puppet shook its big head and walked down the steps step by step, with a look of hatred on its face.

Bronya, Xi'er, Anna, Chen... all remained silent at this moment, just watching quietly as the distance between the doll and themselves got closer and closer...

"Also, Bronya, before the battle begins, I need to confirm one thing - you haven't forgotten it, right? Although you are still a Herrscher, your power has long been unable to be used!"

"Pfft——"

For some reason, Bronya laughed without holding back.

"what are you laughing at?"

The doll's expression was dull, whether it was confusion or anger, it was too late to appear at this moment.

"Pfft... Bronya just thinks that as a Herrscher, you have inherited most of the human problems that she said."

"!?"

Bronya tilted her head and pointed at the gap in the wall from the corner of her eye. The cold air from high altitude was pouring in along the gap, but perhaps because there was a barrier on the outside, there was no wind coming in.

"Arrogance, wishful thinking... I'll give you back what you said - haven't you realized it yet? Two hours is the time for the Second God's Key to complete charging with its rated power. However, when we entered here with Sister Mei, we didn't use it. It...then guess what the Second God Key will be used for?"

Without waiting for the Herrscher to answer, Bronya glanced at the three companions behind her——

"You really can't know the other thing. Even Bronya just knew it - the Herrscher, no, the doll. The other three people in front of you, except Bronya, also Everyone has the potential to become a lawyer, do you understand what this means?"

As the words fell, the void was torn apart by the huge energy, and Honkai energy piggy banks and Honkai energy reactors with radiation protection marks were thrown in one after another.

"You...you blasphemous fools!!!"

Herrscher grabbed her golden horns and went crazy. The originally complete space was suddenly divided into four parts. The time and space where Bronya, Xier, Anna and Chen had no reaction at all were separated from each other.

But they didn't panic. Instead, the doll's heart gradually became cold.

Because, even if the space is divided and changed, it cannot change the propagation of the radiation form of Honkai energy.

On the contrary, because the Herrscher controls this space with power, the intrinsic world has a stronger rejection reaction to it. In terms of changes visible to the naked eye, the barrier on the outer layer of the tower is stronger and closer to the tower. Therefore, all the Honkai energy sent through the Second God Key is confined in the tower.

A large amount of energy with an unimaginable mass is invested in this point that is extremely small in the space, so this point undoubtedly sinks down, and in this way, it continues to attract more Honkai energy in the surrounding space.

Therefore, this space where real numbers and imaginary numbers overlap, between the extreme magnitude of energy deposition, gradually formed three huge vortices, which just corresponded to the third of the four divided spaces and Bronya, who had already become the Herrscher.

[Crackle-Crackle-]

In each divided space, there stands a puppet with a gloomy face.

The joints twitched, the body twisted, and the sound of the wood blocks colliding became one - but the last sound was not, or was not only from the puppet, but... from the darkness around the space.

…………

[Woo--]

A part of the body was wailing uncontrollably, but was that really the sound that the body could make?

Or was it that the whimpering sound was just a fantasy and a reality brought about by the change of air currents in the high altitude?

That's right, it was never the heart that was whimpering, but the wind in the high altitude.

That should be it.

Mikael stood upright in the sky, the clouds held him up, the sun shone on him, the wind wiped away the non-existent sweat on his face, and the invisible cold calmed his heart.

How long did he exist like this, how long did he stand like this, how long did he watch like this...

The blood, the wailing, the despair, the sadness... Without exception, he saw them all clearly and heard them all clearly.

Because, for this world, he is the omniscient and omnipotent God, the only omniscient and omnipotent God.

Whatever he wants to know, he knows.

Whatever he wants to do, he does.

But if the one who gets this power is not a true god, but a human, is this a kind of happiness or a kind of cruelty?

Knowing everything is indeed a great power, but because of its greatness, it will bring an equal amount of pain.

Pain...?

Mikael slowly raised his palm and pressed it on his chest.

Pain...?

The heart where his palm pressed was sunken with force. If you listen carefully, you can hear the "crackling" sound of bones breaking, and the slender five fingers are bent into claws in tension...

"Puff--"

The next moment, a still beating heart was taken out by the hand, and the blood vessels connected to it followed from the hollow of the chest. Under the flow of blood, the blood vessels and the heart beat in sequence.

One drop, two drops of blood slid from the heart to the fingers, then from the fingers to the back of the hand, then to the wrist, and finally fell under the clouds.

The blood was flowing thinly, and it might cause a storm on the mainland, but at this time, all you can say is - "Fortunately, the blood is still red?"

Mikael raised his head in a daze, put his heart to his ear, and listened carefully to the pulse of the heartbeat. He listened for a long time, and finally accepted a fact - pain... didn't seem to exist.

How could this be?

"Crack--"

Mikael bit off a large piece of his heart, chewed, and tasted it - the texture was a bit crispy, and the taste was not bad.

He suddenly thought of a joke. If a person eats himself from the feet, will he only have a mouth or a stomach left in the end?

This is certainly a nonsensical joke, because a normal human would have died of excessive blood loss long before he ate his stomach step by step, or at least fainted from shock. Of course, there is a third possibility - death from stomach perforation due to eating too much.

However, if it was me, it seems that I can try it.

Mikael thought about this possibility seriously, but after a while, he sighed helplessly-

The diversion failed.

Not feeling pain is a good thing, which means that the heart will not feel uncomfortable, but the strange thing is that sometimes people will feel pain because they are not feeling pain in their hearts.

Mikael couldn't understand why he, who once wanted to save the world so much and firmly believed that even if humans had more dark sides, they were still worthy of being loved and saved, would not feel any waves, guilt, or pain after slaughtering hundreds of millions of people in the blink of an eye.

The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was the residual sense of morality, which kept buzzing in his mind like a fly, warning him what kind of sin he had committed.

But he didn't care.

Life, after all, is just a number. What's the point of giving a string of numbers and adding a sign of death in front of it?

Even though he knew it wasn't the case, even though he did hear those wails and felt those sorrows. Even though he also heard countless believers praying...

But he didn't feel any guilt at all.

"That's good, isn't it?"

There is no need to pour useless emotions into people who don't even know you, and the whole person becomes relaxed.

It is indeed good, people do often sacrifice their lives for something that is not their own, but if this "something" refers to all mankind, then it would be a bit hypocritical.

There are only two types of human feelings towards humans - loving an abstract [person] but extremely hating a specific person, or loving a specific person but hating [human beings] as an abstract concept. .

All love and hate have cause and effect. There is no love without reason in this world. Even for that person, her love for human beings will be close or distant depending on the specific relationship.

So for Mikael, that's fine.

However, it seems that this has been the case a long time ago.

"Mikael, I seem...to understand how you feel."

He muttered to himself, but no longer denied a certain fact - he was becoming more and more like a dead person with no trace left.

Wait, the other person is not a human either.

He has a name and a surname: Michael.

"Click - click -"

Mikael ate his heart one bite after another, as if he were chewing an apple.

His eyes were closed, and he seemed to be quietly enjoying the short-term happiness brought by the food. However, if anyone could look directly at the power of God, they would find that he was just silently lowering his gaze to the earth again. .

"Is it coming?"

The next moment, Mikael reluctantly stuffed the half-eaten heart back into his chest.

The wound healed quickly under the influence of power, and he even cleaned up the blood on his chest, just because in the next moment, a familiar girl stood in front of him.

"Youlandale. Are you alone?"

The girl's eyes lingered on the blood stains at the corner of the man's mouth for a moment, and then she held Heiyuan Baihua without hesitation.

"Yes, I am the only one. But, enough is enough. I swear by the white flowers of the black abyss in my hand, I will buy enough time for them."

Hollandale recited the [lines] that Mei taught her meticulously, even though she didn't understand the meaning of saying it.

Is it because of the fate between Kuroyuchi Baihua and the Shaniyat family? I vaguely remember that the last name Mikael once put on St. Freya’s teacher ID card was Shaniat...

"Pfft... It's rare for you to have such confidence, but I'm also curious, Hollandale, you are the strongest human being in this era according to them, so are you interested in giving it a try - to see the strongest human being in this era? , how long can it last in front of the strongest human being in the previous era? "

The blood on the corner of his mouth turned Mikael's seemingly gentle smile into an extremely ferocious one. Blue light flashed, and the exact same black abyss white flower appeared in his hand. The handle of the gun was clamped under his arm, and the tip of the gun was pointed far away. Looking at the face of Hollander.

"I have to say that Mei can always hit my weak spot easily. But Hollandale, do you know the consequences of saying those words?"

"What……"

"If you want to swear by the white flower of the black abyss in your hand, you must first prove to me whether you are qualified. But you must also be grateful for that sentence, because with this sentence, you can at least get a chance to be a human being. Rather than a chance for me as a god to fight.”

In the blink of an eye, the misty sea of ​​clouds and the clear sky turned upside down, and the whole world seemed to be splashed with countless blood, so that the blue was replaced by blood red.

Hollander looked up at the sparse clouds and dusk-colored sky, then at the scarlet gravel under his feet, and finally focused his sights on the tip of Mikael's spear.

She tilted her head and said:

"Mikael, has anyone ever said that you are a middle-class kid?"

Mikael's expression relaxed for a moment, as if he was trying to hold back his laughter.

"I hope you'll still be like this in ten minutes—"

Before he finished speaking, Youlandale had already rushed in front of him. Although the speed was extremely fast, it was nothing more than that in Mikael's eyes. The most important thing was that her body that rushed forward seemed to be taking the initiative to hit the black man. The tip of Yuan Baihua's spear is as bright as a spear.

His eyes narrowed, and the hand holding the gun handle moved forward without hesitation.

Unsurprisingly, the tip of the spear shining with the black light known as [Death] only cut off a few hair strands. Hollandale turned his head long before the tip of the spear was handed out, leaving only the ponytail tied behind his head. Unable to dodge due to inertia.

She was already familiar with the length of the white flowers in the black abyss, and it was precisely because of this that she dared to make such a risky move.

Her body turned to the right and tilted relative to the ground. Without any extra movement, with the same length, the black abyss white flower held under her arm at this moment stabbed Mikael's hand like lightning. Side waist.

Of course, Hollander was not naive enough to think that she could kill Mikael in the first encounter. Therefore, even though the stabbing action was so fast that it took less than a tenth of a second, there was something in her mind. They have already planned out the means to immediately retreat and then organize another attack if they miss the next attack.

puff--

The tip of the spear passed through the body, and the black abyss white flower almost penetrated the entire body from the side. Hollandale was stunned, and then pulled the tail of the spear back without hesitation.

The next moment, the black abyss white flower that Mikael raised above his head with one hand was smashed down like a big sword.

"boom--"

The blood-red beach on the ground was directly hit by this blow, creating a canyon that stretched to the end of the line of sight. Hollandale stared at the dust in front of him. It wasn't until he stared for a long time that he saw the deep one and the shallow one. A figure emerging from the dust.

Due to the trumpet-shaped gun body structure of the Black Abyss White Flower, the wound on Mikael's left waist expanded from the waist to the armpit. As he breathed, you could still see broken ribs and orange-textured muscles. Squirming.

The intestines fell to the ground bit by bit along the big hole, dragging on the blood-red sand as Mikael moved forward.

But the smile on Mikael's face seemed to indicate the fact that he no longer felt pain.

He just put the spear on his shoulder and showed his bloody teeth to Hollander without reservation.

"It seems that we use the Black Abyss White Flower differently."

Youlandale did not answer, but lowered his body a little lower, held the black abyss white flower a little tighter, and his expression became more solemn.

And Mikael is still talking babbled, or maybe... teaching:

"Although it is named the Herrscher of Death, when this power is given to humans, what is more valuable is its [life] aspect. Therefore, the holders of the Black Abyss White Flower should be bolder when fighting. , no matter how serious the injury is, it can be healed quickly, right?"

The smile grew bigger and bigger, and there was more and more blood.

Blood slowly flowed from the corners of the eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears.

Mikael's expression suddenly froze, and then he added:

"But your fighting style is not bad. It's more suitable for you cute girls than mine."

"madman."

Hollandale commented in a low voice.

Then their bodies collided together again. (End of chapter)
