The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

The hand holding the sword hilt tightened, loosened, tightened, and loosened again, and so on, each time harder than the last, until the sword hilt made of soul steel couldn't help but let out a hoarse whine. , Kiana stopped this seemingly meaningless cycle of actions. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ

Power...power kept pouring out from the limbs and bones, as if it were endless. In a trance, I felt that I only needed to wave my hand, and the endless space power could completely cut down this giant tower with a diameter of more than 200 kilometers. Damn, it feels like...as if I can do anything.

Can win! You can definitely win! You can definitely win!

If this power, this power that once almost made human beings feel despair, was used to "save" him, he would definitely be able to defeat the Tenth Herrscher!

"call……"

Kiana kept taking deep breaths. Siren's dissipated sadness was intertwined with the excitement and hope brought by having power, making her feel breathless.

Because of the master's departure, the double-layer imaginary number barrier built by Siren is slowly dissipating. Kiana neither used her power to speed up nor slow down this process.

She needs time, needs time to calm down her mood, needs time to be prepared and aware of the battle, but her time is not enough. Although she is not sure what is happening in the outside world, the Tenth Herrscher is coming fiercely. Thinking about it, the situation won't be too good. Maybe every second she wastes, countless people will die.

That's right, that's right.

The next battle is not only a battle to avenge Jizi, but also a battle to save the world.

The cruel reality, the pain and gifts of the past, and the childish and ridiculous but unshakable dream that continues to this day are unified at this moment.

Kiana is invincible today!

Kiana cheered herself up in her heart like this, and the imaginary number barrier happened to have only the last few left.

Two or three seconds later, Kiana saw a doll slowly walking towards her at the end of her sight.

She took a step back with her right foot and turned her body. The broken sword was held in both hands across her chest, parallel to her chest. Then, Kiana narrowed her eyes and looked at the doll carefully.

I always feel like it...is different from the dolls I saw before?

His eyes quickly scanned the petite figure of the doll. It seemed...a little shorter than those disgusting dolls that he was used to seeing. In addition, the wooden head was topped with black hair and weird-looking golden horns. Instead of the same golden hair color as other dolls and horns.

Of course, the biggest difference is that it takes off its eye patch, revealing dark pupils.

Could it be...

"Are you... Guinevere?"

Kiana tentatively called out the name.

"ah?"

The doll responded softly, but the sound made Kiana feel a little strange.

It was like a response to someone greeting someone on the street, but also like a confused sound after being called by the wrong name.

And its movements were even weirder. Even though it had responded with unclear meaning in words, its body seemed to have not reacted at all. It was still walking forward in a hurry. It walked for about four or five seconds, and then suddenly He stopped, looked at Kiana in front of him warily, and quickly covered his chest with his right hand.

The two looked at each other for about ten seconds, and then Kiana, who was also confused and confused about the situation, took a heavy step forward, frowned and asked sharply:

"Stop pretending! You are Guinevere!"

"Guinevere?"

The puppet finally had some decent response.

It tilted its head, its right hand still protecting its chest, and the tip of its left index finger was gently sucked into its mouth. Its eyes quickly switched between confusion, confusion, pain, numbness and anger, until finally it couldn't help but cover it with both hands. He hit his head and fell to his knees with a bang.

Its limbs curled up, but it just kept repeating a few words——

"Guinevere, that is indeed my name..."

"No, I am not Guinevere, I am... I am one of the great Thousand Herrschers, I... I want to..."

"No, you are not, you are Guinevere, you should...ah, you are Guinevere, then who am I?"

"You are one of the great Herrschers of a Thousand People, you... ah? You are one of the Herrschers of a Thousand People, so who am I?"

"No, no, no! Everything is in chaos. I am Guinevere, and you are... No, no, why are there two me? This is wrong!"

Kiana swallowed softly. If nothing else, she knew what happened to the doll in front of her.

When I saw Guinevere several times before, she kept her human appearance and looked completely different from the other Thousand Herrschers. Now, although its appearance has not been completely assimilated into those dolls, it is pretty much the same.

Moreover, listening to her nonsense, it seems that she also feels "two selves"?

It is the Herrscher personality that is invading the original consciousness. Kiana is quite experienced in this kind of thing, but this means that the other individuals who have become doll-like, including Senior Wendy, are actually...

Without any further hesitation, Kiana held the broken sword upside down and walked step by step in front of Guinevere.

Taking a deep breath and holding it, he held the broken sword above his head with both hands behind his back. The blade of the broken sword was aimed at the back of Guinevere's neck who was curled up on the ground.

Kiana's eyes narrowed, the muscles in her arms relaxed, and the broken sword fell.

"bass--"

The blade of the sword pierced the floor tiles under her feet. Kiana's brows were raised in surprise, but before this emotion spread, her body took a step back and distanced itself.

The black-haired doll picked up the fallen head from the ground, placed it on his shoulder again, and patted it hard as if to ensure stability.

It quickly got up from the ground, covered its cheeks with its hands, and let out a sharp laugh:

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Did you see it? Did you see it? You have no choice at all. In the eyes of others, you are the great Herrscher of Thousands! From the moment you make the choice, there is no turning back. Haha Ha ha!"

Kiana hung her head sadly, and the next moment, her voice sounded lightly:

"Sorry, goodbye, Guinevere."

Golden light flashed past, and six Archon Spears appeared in front of the black-haired doll in the blink of an eye. It instinctively wanted to raise its hand to block it, but the Archon Spears passed through its body like a projection. The moment the groove in the middle was embedded in the body, it suddenly became a "reality".

"boom!"

The black-haired doll was pinned to the wall by the Archon Spear and could no longer move.

Kiana pursed her lips.

She knew that the black-haired doll was still alive, and she actually had a chance to completely crush it in one blow, but in the end she still hesitated a little.

But it doesn't matter, just add a few more cuts now.

Then, meet up with Mei as soon as possible.

Thinking like this, the girl took a step forward, but the moment her toes stepped on the floor tiles, she fell back into the crack in space behind her. The next moment, the girl's figure appeared on the wall dozens of meters away, and that A piece of floor tile has been shattered, and the hands of the doll sticking out of it are empty.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's such a pity that it was seen through..."

The blond doll crawled out from the hole under the floor tiles.

"You are...Senior Wendy, no, it would be more accurate to call you Leader."

"Hahahaha--"

The blond doll did not respond to Kiana's words, but just kept giggling.

Kiana raised her eyebrows, and then said with some deliberate provocation:

"It's really a pity. After all, my power is [Space]. Even if I can't activate my power, I can still clearly feel the space fluctuations around me. It's like a radar. You think you can hide and attack in front of this power. Meaningless."

"oh--?"

The blond doll's neck stretched forward and then suddenly turned its head to its chest:

"Really? You are very confident! Yeah, yeah, people like confident children the most, especially when their confidence is broken and they cry loudly, it is simply the most beautiful picture in the world!"

"abnormal!"

"No, no, no! This is not a perversion, but a desire derived from the bad and dirty heart of human beings - taking pleasure in the pain of others and basing one's own happiness on the pain of others. Isn't this what it means? The most common thing humans do!”

"Can't agree."

Kiana recited something softly, as if she was admonishing herself. She then lowered her body and tightened her grip on the broken sword. She was ready to go, as if she would appear next to the doll in the next moment and sever her with one sword. The neck was in a weird posture, as if it had been severed.

But in the tenth of a second before Kiana put all this into action, the puppet was stuck in this time and spoke:

"Don't move, Kiana! Since you have the power of space, use it to feel the surroundings. Don't say I didn't warn you!"

The deliberately clamped sound was really disgusting. Even though Kiana was mentally prepared, her body couldn't help but tremble.

But when the space power spread along the so-called [X-axis] and [Z-axis], everything she sensed made Kiana freeze on the spot.

That is……

My body trembled again, but this time it was no longer out of "disgust", but out of pure shock.

Where she was, the wall she had always thought was the end of this floor was actually located near the middle of the floor.

The diameter of this entire layer was more than 150 kilometers. She could not imagine how such a building could exist in this world.

But that's not the main thing.

The most important thing is that, except for the small space that is vaguely visible under the candlelight above the head, the rest is hidden in the darkness, occupying 99.9% of the entire floor. There are densely packed spaces standing one after another. A puppet.

The number was at least in the millions. Kiana didn't have the time to count it, but with the density of standing side by side, with the toes holding the heels in front of them, it was not impossible to say that the number reached tens of millions.

They had been silent and watching everything that happened here, and then with the snap of the blond puppet's fingers, they started to move one by one.

The joints seemed to lack lubrication, and there was a series of dull and sharp friction sounds, constantly irritating Kiana's eardrums.

The wooden blocks kept colliding, and countless dolls fell down due to too dense standing postures. It soon turned into a tragic stampede accident, but this was nothing to the dolls. They only needed to pick up the scattered limbs on the ground. , put it back on yourself, and you don’t even need to consider whose limb it is - a true zero-tolerance universal part constructed with the power of control and the power of reason is worth owning.

"Did you see it? You who have the power of space must be able to see it! That's right! Those are all our companions! They are all part of us! How about it! Aren't you going to kill us? Come on! Come on! Everyone Behind every doll represents a heart broken by human civilization. You can kill us all, but Kiana—you—"

The blond doll's head fell from its neck and fell heavily to the ground. Before it even had time to jump up due to the reaction force, it was crushed by Kiana's kick.

The doll's headless body fell backwards and hit the ground, but the sound it made was covered by the rustling of more dolls.

But soon, those rustling sounds were suppressed by a familiar and wild laughter:

"Hahahaha! That sword strike just now was really accurate, Kiana, but you should also know that this kind of attack has no effect on me. The doll is just an insignificant replacement for me. Even if you It’s useless to kill all the dolls here, as long as the darkness in people’s hearts does not disappear, we will always exist!”

"Then I will kill you again and again. As long as you are seen by me, I will never let you live to the next second. Now I have such power!"

After leaving these words like a declaration, Kiana waved her big sword and rushed into the crowd of dolls without hesitation. Her posture was exactly the same as that of Himeko.

But precisely because she rushed too hard, she did not hear the Leader's last voice due to the noise of the puppet exploding.

It was just two words that were low and meaningful - "Yes?"

The golden light kept shining in the darkness. That light could not dispel the darkness, but it repeatedly smashed the dolls surging under the darkness into pieces, like a sickle cutting wheat.

The sharp archon spears shoot out in all directions. Their exposed figures are the projections of objects that exist in the imaginary space in the intrinsic world. Coupled with the darkness created by the Tenth Herrscher himself, the archons are further blurred. The outline of the spears caused these short spears to swerve in the darkness and penetrate every hole. A large number of puppets were not even seen, and they were stabbed into sieves by countless archon spears before they even had time to scream. There is no spare part left in the whole body.

"Hmm...with such power, he is more or less worthy of the title of Herrscher of the Sky."

As soon as Leader's voice sounded in the darkness, Kiana turned around and rushed towards the source of the voice, unstoppable along the way.

"Oh my, you are chasing me too fast, aren't you? You know you can't kill me, why are you still chasing me? Forget it, you humans just like this kind of meaningless behavior."

The Herrscher's voice soon came from another direction, and Kiana just turned her head and turned the direction again.

If this continues, it will be destined to be an extremely long war.

Even for Kiana, who uses the power of the sky, if she wants to kill up to eight figures, or even touch the nine-figure threshold, and it is a doll immune to Honkai Impact, it will not be a short time at all. Something that can be done.

"Tsk tsk, let me guess, you actually already know that your companions are coming to save you, right? You are pretending to be angry to fight me, but in fact you are trying to entangle me so that your friends, such as Raiden, can Mei, Bronya, and Xi'er create opportunities, right? But it's a pity. I have already said hello to them before I met you. Don't worry, they don't have the ability to disturb us for the time being. Fighting power!"

"What did you do to them!"

The Herrscher's body was suddenly exposed to Kiana's sight - among the countless identical dolls, only her mouth had an "unsurprising" smile.

Kiana is indeed Kiana. If the worry about her companions is not enough to make her lose her mind, then she, the murderer of Himeko, will stand in front of her in person. In that case, even if it is only a short moment, In an instant, Kiana will always lose her mind——

And the fact is just as the lawyer expected.

Although it was only a moment of anger and distraction that lasted less than a second, countless threads suddenly emerged from the darkness, tightly binding Kiana's limbs and torso.

"Is that just that! Don't underestimate people, you bastard!"

Golden light emerged from Kiana, so sharp that it could cut off the space itself, and those threads were as fragile as their appearance.

The puppet didn't make any sound anymore. It looked like it was down. Not to mention speaking, it didn't even move at all.

Did he realize something was wrong and leave this body? But it doesn't matter, for Kiana, what she has to do is very simple, that is, smash all the dolls visible to the naked eye!

"boom!"

Perhaps because it once hosted the Herrscher's consciousness, the doll was completely shattered, almost turning into a puddle of powder.

In fact, it doesn't take that much trouble to kill a doll, it's just a matter of anger.

The result of this was that Kiana's figure had to stay in front of the doll for a moment.

Then, countless dolls rushed up and pressed her to the ground.

"hateful!"

She supported the ground with both hands and tried to get up, but the accumulation of dolls alone was able to suppress her physical strength.

"drink!"

Kiana's pupils instantly turned into white cross stars, and countless Archon Spears condensed in mid-air, aiming at the dolls piled on her back one by one.

"Don't think you can trap me like this!"

The Archon Spear fell, but at the moment when it was about to touch the puppet, that is, the moment when the Archon Spear entered the original world, each silk thread accurately bound each short spear, and then in Kiana's incredible In his eyes, the spear of Asia, which had no time to return to the world of imaginary numbers, was torn to pieces by the silver cord that seemed to break with just a pull.

Her lips were slightly parted, but they were suppressed and she couldn't breathe.

I want to use the power of space again, but for some reason, the core is still in the body, but the power cannot be used. Could it be...

A blond doll walked up to Kiana with a sarcastic smile on her lips.

"Oh, my dear Kiana, you look surprised. Yes, your power is indeed much stronger, but you don't think that after defeating Sirin, a person with power can be free from [dominance], right? ? It’s so—so—oh!”

"Snapped--"

The blond puppet snapped his fingers, but nothing happened.

The doll's smile froze, and even Kiana was confused.

But the next moment, something did happen.

"boom--"

With a dull sound, an arm of the doll stretched out from the heart of the blond doll, accurately pinched the core hidden in the doll's body, and then crushed it into pieces.

The doll turned its head with the last of its strength, and Kiana also took advantage of the scream of the doll that was suppressing her to raise her head.

What I saw was an unexpected hint of black.
