The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

The door handle was slightly cold to the touch. Kiana's hand clenched it tightly and pressed down hard. Then, before she could pull the door back, the door was blown open by the violent airflow.

boom--

The roar of air compression kept coming to her ears. Kiana crossed her arms in front of her body, spread her legs into a lunge, and couldn't help but lean forward. Only by lowering her center of gravity in this way could she avoid being blown away.

"what happened?"

No one could answer her question.

She turned around, and the pure white world of St. Freya behind her had been shattered. Soon, only darkness remained, and Himeko could no longer be seen at all.

We must move forward - the girl said to herself in her heart.

She crossed her right arm in front of her eyes to resist the increasingly arrogant wind and the silver-gray dust that came from nowhere.

As a result, his eyes were opened, but he didn't dare to look forward and could only stare at his feet.

Her left arm was swinging hard. Although she could only stagger forward in the strong wind and dust, she still made such a futile effort, hoping to move forward faster. Get back to reality faster.

She has left the space in the plague gem, so there is no way back.

It’s Mei, it’s Teacher Himeko, it’s Principal Theresa, it’s Daddy, it’s Bronya, it’s Seele, it’s Celine, it’s Guinevere... It’s everyone, it’s everyone’s hard work. I tried my best to get her to this point...

So, she had to move on, and on, and on. She must reach that happy ending so that she doesn't let everyone down.

Teacher Jizi said that she had done well enough to repay everyone's trust in her, so Kiana could also trust her, but she may not know that the more tender encouragement she received, it would only make Kiya Na felt more weight on her shoulders.

The wind and sand were still preventing her from moving forward. She could feel that her consciousness had left the plague gem, but she did not return to reality immediately.

Where is this place?

Can't tell at all.

Why here?

I don’t understand it at all.

The only thing I can be sure of is moving forward.

As a result, time passed slowly amidst the "whining" sound of the wind, until Kiana's snow-white figure was almost buried in silver-gray, until her pace became slower and slower, and her consciousness became more and more trance-like.

How long has it been?

totally no idea.

It seemed like half a minute, a minute.

But it seems like a whole day, a whole month, a whole year.

It is more like the repetition of countless days and nights, a cycle of five thousand and fifty thousand years.

Sand and dust blew on her all the time, day after day, year after year, gradually forming a thick shell.

She moved forward mechanically, with the shell restricting her movements. Her legs and feet became weaker and weaker, and slower and slower, as if she was about to be completely submerged by the unreasonable sand and dust.

Even if I tried my best and opened my mouth wide, no sound would come out.

But I really wanted to scream something, but I forgot what I wanted to say the moment I opened my mouth.

Both body and consciousness gradually blurred and collapsed. It's just that the body is still moving forward mechanically.

Why exactly are you here?

Why exactly are we in this situation?

Why are you still moving forward?

Pain…pain…pain…pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain…

But numb.

Numb... numb... numb numb... numb numb numb numb numb numb... numb numb numb numb numb numb numb...

It seems that what is experienced at this moment is not what is happening at this moment.

It seems that a certain emotion has crossed the distance of time and space and overlapped with that of another person under the influence of some special force.

Is everything I feel at this moment what I feel, or what that person feels?

Completely confused.

It's just that some purple seems to have leaked into the silvery gray sky.

Not only purple, but also blue, pink, and crimson are all colors commonly used by humans to fill in a universe that is obviously only black and white.

The restraints on my body seemed to be reduced. Every swing of the limbs becomes more powerful and faster than before...

The wind and sand seemed to be much lighter, so the girl, who had almost forgotten who she was, raised her head, and what she saw was a mirror-like space full of cracks, and a huge, constantly trembling thing that seemed to be made of stone. eyeball.

"what is that?"

Before the doubt could even be expressed, the eyeball suddenly twitched, and then it turned slightly, and the purple cross-star-like pupils were fixed on the girl.

What's even more creepy is that there seems to be a person nailed on the cross-star-shaped pupils.

Who is that?

The thinking did not yield results, because the next moment, the space in front of him shattered like a mirror, and the fragments flew past the girl's cheek, as if it was broken from the outside.

The girl rushed into the broken space, and for a moment she was upside down, left, right, and backward. She was still running forward, slowly but surely, but she seemed to be reincarnating in the broken space.

Until she saw a familiar figure directly in front of her.

With her snow-white hair hanging loosely, she turned her head and looked at the girl who was walking forward with her face full of wind and sand.

The moment he turned his head, his long snow-white hair turned purple in an instant.

"snort."

With a habitual snort, Xilin raised her right hand and bit the nail of her index finger.

"I finally caught up. Hey, don't hold me back when we fight later."

Boom——

The heart beat powerfully.

Bang tom - bang tom - bang tom -

Bang tom, bang tom, bang tom——

The heartbeat is getting faster and faster, like a drumbeat that is getting closer and stronger.

I remembered it, I remembered it all.

She is Kiana Kaslana, and although this is not her original name, everyone she knows has placed their trust in her behind this name.

The reason why she is here and the reason why she is still moving forward is to live up to everything in the past. It is precisely because everything that happened in the past is neither beautiful nor too cruel, so she wants to turn this imperfect world into something for everyone. Just what you expected!

She will no longer agree with the so-called "fight for a better new world", because she wants to "fight for all the good in the world"!

boom!

It was as if something was broken, the power that bound the girl dissipated at that moment, her body became strong again, and her consciousness became clear again.

Kiana could finally hold her neck high and shout with all her strength:

"You're the one who shouldn't hold you back in the fight later! Ms. Fugu who can only get angry!!!"

The distance between the two figures shortened in an instant, and the back of Sirin was in front of her. This time, Kiana did not hesitate, and rushed out of Sirin's phantom with her head down.

She could feel the figure behind her disappear.

And at the end, she left Kiana with a smile.

[Keep going, you can do it, Kiana. Because you are my other side, you will definitely be able to do what I cannot do, so you will never fail. 】

"Drink ah ah ah -"

Everything in front of me became clear and clear.

You can clearly feel the four cores in your body, and you can clearly feel that the cores are beating crazily like a heart, frantically absorbing the energy from the tree of imaginary numbers, and then injecting all of it into the limbs and bones of the body.

Then, at the end of his sight, there was darkness that caused people to fall.

It doesn't matter, in the long darkness, humans will also light firewood.

Then Kiana saw the flames in front of her.

So Kiana stretched out her hand hard and held the flame.

It's not hot when you start it, but it's cold.

Then the darkness dissipated, and Kiana was still crushed to the ground by a large number of dolls, but she successfully held the sword in front of her.

The broken sword that Himeko once used.

It took less than 0.01 second from the flames to explode, and the puppet's screams came even later than the wreckage flying everywhere.

In the raging fire, Kiana stood up again - just like she had done every time after being knocked down.

boom--

Benares fell behind her, crushed a bunch of puppets trying to attack into wood powder, then lowered his head and lay beside her.

Kiana glanced around and did not see Guinevere, but the endless blonde dolls surrounded her again.

But she will no longer be afraid, let alone be defeated.

bass--

The broken sword was swung to the side, horizontally parallel to the ground, and then it was aimed at the puppet standing in the front as the arm was turned -

"Is your attack over? Next, it's my turn."

Familiar actions, familiar words, familiar expressions, and familiar will.

Nothing seems to have changed, and everything seems to have changed.

The blond doll covered his ears and twitched.

"Damn, damn, damn, damn! What's going on! One after another... how could this happen! It's obvious that everyone is chosen by the darkness, and obviously we all know the weight of the darkness, why is it still like this!!! Why? Fight the coming of that wonderful new world!”

Qi Yan said nothing, but appeared in front of it the next moment and cut off its head with a knife.

Countless human idols gathered together like dense ants. Their heads were connected to their heads and their limbs were connected to their limbs. However, at the moment of [composition], they were re-exploded into a pile of parts by the raging flames.

"Why! Why can't I control this power... I obviously just got the power of the plague gem... Damn, hate, hate, hate!"

The heads of the dolls on the ground opened their mouths and screamed one by one. It didn't understand why Kiana became so powerful in an instant, nor did it understand what was driving Kiana to continue moving forward and continue fighting.

It also doesn’t understand why Guinevere and Siren, who have also endured human malice, did not agree with the dream of [creating a beautiful new world] in the end.

but……

"But don't underestimate the malice in human hearts, you bastard!!"

Black energy surged, which was the malice in the hearts of humans swallowed up by this tower.

The sadness of living in this world, the numbness born in a busy and ordinary life, the curses made in the bottom of my heart when I occasionally encounter dissatisfaction, and even the fear and despair in my heart at the moment when I am swallowed by this tower, are all at this moment. Became the power of the Herrscher.

The silver threads falling from the end of the sky were also dyed black by this force, and then they pulled every part of the broken doll to quickly reassemble.

Only this time, it's no longer an abstract and ugly simple patchwork.

The scattered parts of the doll were reorganized regularly - the sound from the collision was like wood blocks, but it was completely dissolved and reorganized like metal, and the final result was a huge doll that looked human but not human.

The black-gray shell exudes a metallic luster. The hands, feet and torso are not thick like humans. The head is thick at the top and narrow at the bottom. The face is very short. It is wrapped in a golden shell, leaving only scarlet eyeballs.

The joints are not connected to each other, as if only silk threads hanging from the sky control the individual parts to form a whole. From a distance, if it didn't have that silver line, it would look more like some kind of mecha.

"Our ideals, our pain... will all be destroyed by you, Kiana!"

Amid the screams, more petite dolls emerged from the darkness and pounced on Kiana. Of course, this was not a problem for her. The flame-like light flashed left and right among the dolls. The blade of the broken sword Jizi left behind lit up with red light. Every time she swung it, she could easily cut off any of the dolls. parts.

But when Kiana rushed to the giant puppet transformed by the Herrscher, the fingers of the puppet's hands trembled slightly. Under the reflection of the candlelight, Kiana saw that there were thousands of silk threads connected to the ten fingers. .

"!?"

The silk threads connected another ten huge fists to fly out from the back of the doll. They were as endless as the original petite dolls, bombarding everything in front of them. Benares was immediately grabbed by many big hands and thrown out of the tower. Under the sheer number, the entire floor was easily blown down. Kiana fell to the next floor, while trying to Facing more small dolls, he also had to pay attention to the huge fist falling above his head. The Herrscher showed no mercy to his companions. The huge fist smashed the dolls around Kiana to pieces, and then was pulled up by silk threads. At that time, the body size actually expanded a bit.

And, it’s not like that.

boom--

The floors collapsed one after another. When Kiana raised her head again, she saw countless huge iron fists from the round holes in the ceiling.

Also, the puppets controlled by silk threads kept falling around her.

"Disgusting! It's so disgusting! You actually want to save such a world... You have a great sense of justice! But what's the use! This is just your self-impression! You can't change the malice in people's hearts, you can't Change this ugly world! Just like you can’t control the hatred in your heart!”

"No, you are the one who is moved by yourself, Herrscher. Moreover, at this moment, I no longer hate you."

Kiana raised the broken sword again and pointed the broken blade above her head.

I don’t know when, but the broken sword seemed to have changed a little.

It should have been filled with dust, but now it looked brand new, even shining with a fiery red luster. Moreover, four cores have been inlaid on the hilt of the sword, and they are flashing brightly and dimly.

"Joke! Joke! We are all losers! Human beings are all losers! If we want to save this ugly world, we can only burn it completely! And then create a new one -"

"wrong!"

Kiana responded with a series of iron fists.

Flames burst out from the broken sword, cutting through the iron fist that was completely opposite to its own small existence.

One, two, three...but ultimately no match for more.

Amidst the continuous roars and vibrations, smoke and dust obscured everything in sight.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, Kiana's snow-white figure could no longer be found, only the iron fists falling down layer by layer.

"Weak people are weak and losers are losers."

The huge figure of the Herrscher slowly fell from the hole in the ceiling.

"Having faith but no power will only create people like you. Wake up, this is the truth of this cruel world. You can't change anything, your ideals will not come true, because this is the world. "

Click——

what sound?

Click——click——

As soon as the Herrscher blurted out the declaration of victory, he saw more and more cracks appearing on the huge iron fist.

The next moment, those fists all disintegrated.

Kiana's figure staggered two steps among the messy bricks, and then stood upright on the spot like a spear.

"Maybe you are right. Of course this world is not beautiful, but some people told me not to give up. She told me, they told me that behind so much badness is beauty, and as long as there are still things in this world Beautiful, then we must never give up, but should...

"Fight for the good in this world!"

“Stop talking nonsense there!!!”

The tall tower that reached the sky shattered at this moment, and all the floors upwards from the floor where the two of them were on collapsed. Large pieces of broken masonry, walls, and even pillars all hit Kiana crazily. In an instant, the tower was recast in another way——

Kiana only had time to hold the broken sword in front of her before her figure was completely submerged. The masonry fragments were stacked mercilessly together, like a slender lightning rod being re-strung at the broken point of the tower.

The Herrscher looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

This is the total weight of the top of a tower with a height of nearly 4,000 meters and a diameter of more than 150 kilometers at the bottom. Even if the Herrscher's body is hit by this blow, it will not be as heavy as falling directly to the ground from a height of 10,000 meters. better.

Maybe he won't die, but it is inevitable that he will lose his arms, legs, etc., and will be unable to move.

"Next, let's deal with those bugs first. A Herrscher without power, an ordinary person who is not a Herrscher, and two Herrschers who have not become feathers. It's easy to take care of them. Raiden Meiyi is a little troublesome. The meeting will become difficult to deal with, but they should have reunited now. As long as they attack those few who are holding back, there is nothing Raiden Mei can do—"

boom--

Amid the roar of the explosion, Herrscher turned back in disbelief, only to see the remnants of fire burning all over the place, interspersed with the smoky yellow light of dusk.

The ruins had already collapsed again, and in mid-air, the girl who was extremely petite compared to the Herrscher at this time was raising a brand new sword high.

The jumping flames burned her clothes and hair, and the bright blue eyes in her eyes were calm and tenacious.

Her exposed skin was of course full of scars, and there were even many traces of flames, but they healed quickly under the influence of another force.

In front of the hilt of the great sword she raised high, four gems of gold, red, green, and blue were shining brightly.

"I promised everyone to keep moving forward, how could I - stop here!!"

The flames began to boil around the girl. At first, it was just a tiny flame to the huge Herrscher.

But in the process of falling, accompanied by the cyan wind, the flame suddenly surged into a meteor shape.

"What a joke!!!"

The screams of countless men and women echoed through the sky at this moment. Countless dark iron fists opened up and blocked Kiana's falling trajectory under the influence of silk threads, but they could not even hold on for a second to be dissolved in the flames.

A larger palm blocked the falling flames, and then more palms followed and clenched tightly, as if to extinguish this small piece of spark, and also push this small piece of spark further. Far in the sky...

However, blue flames swept through everything, and the blazing fire took away the light that belonged to the sunset, and then fell again.

"Why do you want to hinder our dreams!!!"

Familiar and unfamiliar voices sounded in Kiana's ears. The palm under the Herrscher's control changed again. The harder golden part turned into a shell and was simulated into a jagged shape. These weird-shaped things all gathered together and turned into a large group of rotating chain saws. , rushing straight towards the direction where Kiana fell.

"That's not your dream at all!"

Kiana shouted as she fell.

"You are just obsessions and nightmares that grew out of the host's heart. Even after being treated so cruelly, what they desire is still not to completely destroy the world, but to create a new world with only beauty. This, This is the proof of the beauty in the human heart—drink!”

When she was about to get close to the chain saw, Kiana let go of her left hand and dragged the sword behind her with only her right hand. Then she turned her waist sharply and chopped the ugly chain saw into flying pieces.

Countless bricks and parts stayed in the air, and the sky was completely burned at this moment. There was only a bright straight line across the sky, like the tail of a meteor, and like a road pointing the direction - that image. It is the beauty that remains in the hearts of countless "Guinevere" and "Celine", and it is also the beauty that countless "Jezi" never give up. At this most critical time, it illuminates the way home for the girl.

The girl fell like a meteor, rushing towards the dark ink-like light wave emitted by the Herrscher alone.

The fall stopped, and the blow just now consumed most of Kiana's strength... However, she promised too many people that she would not stop here.

Of course, at this moment when she was about to be suppressed, the girl felt the power from behind.

Hands were placed on her back, some were familiar, some were unfamiliar, and even some she didn't recognize at all.

No matter who it was, their strength was gathered here at this moment because of the beauty in their hearts, and was conveyed to the girl who vowed to turn this imperfect story into what everyone expected.

boom--

The explosion once again swept the entire sky, and ownerless flames flew everywhere, seeming to announce the winner of this collision.

But the next moment, a loud roar came from the thick clouds rolled up by the explosion:

"Drink——"

The girl's body rolled continuously and broke through the thick smoke. Even though the body was too small compared to the Herrscher, it still made the Herrscher feel creepy at this moment and it was difficult to look straight at her.

It didn't have time to say anything, it just crossed its thick arms in front of it, and used almost all the Honkai energy it could summon to form a barrier in layers.

On the contrary, the girl just rushed out alone, but at the moment of impact, even hotter flames spurted out from her body.

The Herrscher's barrier was shattered layer by layer like glass, until only the hands folded in front of him were left.

In the flames, Kiana felt someone beside her looking at her.

Her peripheral vision slanted to the side - maybe it was just the phantom of the flame, but it seemed to be real... Jizi smiled in the fire, as if to tell her specifically that the last words she left were not Just comfort.

The corners of Kiana's mouth pursed, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, but they were evaporated in an instant.

She smiled and turned her gaze back to her, and then even her hair started to burn.

The next moment, the Herrscher's arms crossed in front of it were chopped apart together with its huge body.

The impact swept through everything. The giant tower reaching the sky was completely shattered at this moment, and there was no foothold in the air. The girl who had exhausted her strength fell with a satisfied smile.

Rumble——

She vaguely heard thunder, and when she woke up, Kiana felt like she was in a warm embrace. What she breathed in her nose was a fragrance that was very familiar but had not been smelled for a long time.

"Kiana!"

The sound of the wind was mixed with the cry of the purple-haired girl. When she opened her eyes, she saw the excited tears in Mei Yi's eyes. Then, Bronya, Xi'er, Anna, and Chen Tianwu also gathered around. Bronya, who had always been expressionless, was smiling and reporting something to the headquarters.

"I...I'm fine."

Kiana stood up with strength, and then she realized that several people were falling on Benares' back.

The Tower of Babel has collapsed, leaving only a few ruins floating in the air in an anti-gravity form. When Bella flew over a platform, Kiana saw the doll falling on it.

"there!"

She immediately jumped over. The petite doll had just straightened up from its knees when the fiery red sword edge was already placed across its neck.

"We won."

The girl declared this, while the Herrscher shook his head, lost and speechless.

So the girl looked away with relief and looked at the people behind her.

"Please look for a doll with black hair. That's Guinevere. She helped me in the end. Please find her, please!"

“Pfft—what trouble are you talking to us about.”

Meiyi covered her mouth and smiled softly, glanced at Kiana reluctantly, and then turned into lightning and left.

Bronya pouted and glanced at Kiana, then added:

"There is no other way, just let this fool be proud for a while."

So she turned around too.

Kiana smiled awkwardly, but she didn't realize that the Herrscher in front of her had lowered his body - but lowering himself was not a surrender, but for the final attack.

"How could we lose to a little girl like you who doesn't know anything!!"

There were countless mixed voices of men and women again.

Kiana turned her head in shock, and thunder sounded next to her again.

But Mei was still a step too slow, and even Kiana, who had been alert all the time, didn't have time to swing her sword——

A dark blue spear fell from the sky, breaking open the Herrscher's torso and nailing it to the ground.

The sound of broken hoofbeats was recalled out of thin air, and Hollander, riding a dark blue horse, fell from the sky and landed next to the Herrscher.

The tall horse, which looked like a Honkaiju but was different, moved its front paws, and Youlandale had already eagerly jumped in front of Kiana, and then, with Mei's confused look on her face, she first took Qi's hand. Yana's hand, and then hugged her.

"Kiana, are you okay?"

Meiyi: "???"

Inexplicably, Kiana felt that there seemed to be some changes in Hollandale, for example - a small amount of the blond hair on his forehead seemed to have turned white?

【July 11, 2017】

[15:41 (Greenwich Mean Time), 16:41 (Destiny Headquarters Time)]

[The Tenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Dominance was defeated for the second time and is still cleaning up the battlefield to search for the situation. 】

Otto took his hands off the keyboard and slumped on the chair in a somewhat dejected manner.

"In the end, I didn't seem to be of much use. Bianca seemed to know her life experience... Well, she won't beat me when she comes back, right? Although I forced her father away, it is true that I He brought her up by peeing."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Kallen's handicraft, so he secretly took out a CD from the file bag in the bottom drawer of his desk, and took out the game controller from the top drawer.

"Forget it, let's play Karen's fantasy for a while." (End of this chapter)
