The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

Click-click-click-click

In the dark and silent workshop, the cold gears turned precisely to materialize the concept of time that does not exist.

So time kept flowing with the turning of the gears, and would continue to turn unstoppably until...

Squeak-click ... Before she could say anything else, she saw two pink spots in the middle of the silver-gray eyes of the man in front of her, and then the pink continued to expand and the color gradually deepened until it turned into a pair of blood-red crosses.

"You'd better pay attention to your attitude."

"Oh? So you freed me from [her] oppression just to vent your anger? Besides, wasn't it you who killed her?"

"Do you think it was me too?"

The blood-red gradually faded from the man's eyes, but the two drops of pink were still so dazzling in the eyes of [Extreme Evil] Wei Wei.

"Shouldn't I think so? In this place, apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who has such power and the motive to kill Ailishia."

"Motive... Haha, your view is completely opposite to Ying Jie. They think that although I am the most capable one, I have no motive to do so."

"Then explain to me, why did you free a guy like me?"

Extreme Evil Wei Wei took off his hat and waved it, his eyes full of teasing.

"In your eyes now, as long as it leads to the ending you want, Alicia's memory is not worth mentioning, right? As for you taking me out of Velvet's body and giving me a body, it can't be just for me to hide in the workshop and fish? And apart from destruction, I can't think of any other strengths of mine that are worth your attention."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present."

Mikael walked around the door of the workshop twice, but couldn't find a chair, so he constructed one and sat down.

"Originally, I was just making the worst plan. Mei and the others returned to the paradise with great fanfare, and even Mobius was brought back in the name of [escort]. A large number of Honkai energy storage tanks were also brought back. What is this for? Even if you are slow, you can guess a little bit, not to mention that there is another [me] in the paradise of the past. I can feel that the power of erosion has been awarded.

"Obviously, the paradise of the past is a good place to defeat me. Although it is anchored in the intrinsic world, it is essentially a quantum sea where the power of the end is weakly penetrated. And this is the world of data. If that Mikael becomes the Herrscher of Corrosion, and considering that this bubble has been anchored by me before becoming [Elysium], it has a strong compatibility with my body... the Mikael who becomes the Herrscher of Corrosion may have the authority equivalent to the end in this world...

"But I don't care, I even hope they can succeed. The reason why I freed you... to put it bluntly, is just to be a cannon fodder that can cause some obstacles to them."

"Tsk, it's really not nice. But it doesn't matter. Being used by others is also a good thing. At least it proves that you are still worth being used, right? Just looking at your tone, maybe something unexpected happened? Then can my status also be mentioned?"

Mikael shook his head, but he didn't know whether this action was to deny the words of the evil Wei Weiwei, or just represented a kind of helplessness.

"From the time I entered the paradise till now, a total of 74 hours, I have not found any trace of that Mikael. Of course, this is nothing. Since Mei and the others intend to make that Mikael the Herrscher of Corrosion, it is reasonable to hide him in advance - after all, I am getting more and more serious. But the death of Ellie makes me confused about all this."

"Huh?"

"I didn't kill Ellie. Although I would do so if necessary, isn't it at least not necessary yet? But Ellie still died... It shouldn't be like this, the thread of fate has been cut... No, for this Alicia, that kind of thing should not exist from the beginning, right? But who else can kill her? "

"Oh, I understand. You risked your life to see me because you wanted to confirm whether Alicia's death was caused by me."

"That's true, but since it's not you or me, who else has the ability to do it?"

"Why are you telling me all this? I just want to make a big fuss and repay that guy for imprisoning me for 50,000 years. If I can get something else, that would be the best."

The evil Velvet put on her hat elegantly and was about to return to the depths of the workshop to continue her lurking.

Mikael's eyes followed her back, but he quickly retracted them and just kept talking to himself.

"There are two possibilities, only two. First, the other me lost control after becoming the Herrscher and accidentally injured Alicia. Second, Mei's plan failed, and the person who became the Herrscher of Corrosion was not The other me is now lurking in this world of data, and may completely destroy this place at any time... In this case, I have to respond accordingly.

"And you, all of Velvet's [evil]. Do you think it is necessary for you to continue to exist in this situation?"

"After doing this for a long time, you want to come and get rid of me?"

The extremely evil Velvet narrowed her eyes and turned around, and Mikael also stood up.

But faced with the former question, Mikael shook his head again:

"I have a brand new plan. If you are willing to assist me, I will also give you the reward you deserve - for example, the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion. With that, you can completely break away from Velvet and the paradise of the past. And existence even rises above the Paradise and becomes the real god in this space.”

"Are you serious?"

The Evil Velvet took two steps towards Mikael, then stopped, leaning against the wall of the workshop, looking to one side to confirm.

In response, Mikael just responded calmly:

"Believe it or not, it all depends on you."

"Tell me first, what do you want me to do?"

"I need you to use your skills and help me find the whereabouts of another Mikael. That's it, that's all, nothing else is needed. There's not much danger, and it shouldn't be too strenuous for you. ,how?"

The extremely evil Velvet lowered her head. You could tell without looking that her expression was changing rapidly.

Mikael was also leaning against the wall of the workshop, but his expression was obviously calm and relaxed.

He was very sure that Wei Wei would definitely agree to the conditions he proposed.

As for the reason?

Because she is extremely evil Velvet, the simple reason cannot be simpler.

The focus is not on Velvet, but on the extreme evil.

Her birth was a personality that Velvet carved out by incorporating all of her [evil] side.

Good degenerates into black and white, but it can outline the different personalities of each person. However, if all [evil] are abstracted, it will become the same.

Because it is [extremely evil], it must be greedy. Because of greed, he must be obsessed with the conditions proposed by Mikael. It's just such a simple truth.

Sure enough, half a minute later, the extremely evil Velvet raised her head and replied with only four words:

"I accepted."

"snort."

Mikael laughed expressionlessly.

Unfortunately, this was not a contract written in black and white, and Mikael knew that everything he said, whether it was compensation or what he wanted the other party to do, was wrong.

…………

The moment I walked out of Velvet's workshop, the first thing I saw was still the gorgeous dusk.

dusk……

It's dusk again.

The sky is burning quietly, but the firelight it emits is not blazing, but warm. It dances through the window of the ward into the corridor, making people unable to stop feeling lazy in their hearts.

Why is the day here always set to dusk?

Maybe it's to see the bright stars faster, but maybe it's because when I was designing it... I thought of too many things that had happened under dusk.

At the beginning of the story, he walked out of the bookstore that was full of the smell of decaying paper, leaving the dead old man behind, holding a cake for Alicia to practice, and embarked on a path of no return that he didn't know yet.

Later, when he was dispatched to the street named after dusk and went to the hospital with some minor injuries on his face, Alicia lay on top of him and applied the iced milk tea she had just bought to his face.

Before leaving Luluye, he had also thought about the dusk. What awaited humans further away was the rising sun or the afterglow of the setting sun at dusk.

In the city of Brindi, Alicia, wearing a spotless white dress, stood on a bridge. The dusk light flowed under the bridge and further away, and Alicia on the bridge would The brooch that symbolized the fate of the circle was handed to Mikael and asked him to help put it on.

There are many more...and many more...

Anyway, dusk holds too many memories. Even if the protagonists were limited to Mikael and Alicia, it would still take a long time.

So why does the night here always stay at the moment when the full moon is about to set?

Because I don’t like separation, it must be a full moon.

Because we are looking forward to the arrival of day, time is about to fall.

Everything is meaningless and ridiculous paranoia.

But at that time, Mikael would not have thought that fifty thousand years later, he would be countless times more paranoid than he could have imagined.

It’s somewhat disappointing——

Mikael sighed, his body melted into the shadows, and he was about to leave.

But before doing so, a pair of hands held him.

Turning around, as expected, it was Hua and Hua's memory.

As the only Ying Jie who has preserved the bond in modern civilization, Hua's body did not return to the paradise of the past with Kevin, Mei, Su, and Weiwei. In fact, because Hua's memory needs to be continuously deleted, The memory of this memory in the paradise still remains at the moment when Hua was awakened by him five thousand years ago, so naturally there is no recent memory.

so……

Mikael looked down at her hand that was tightly holding him and was even trembling slightly, and was silent for a moment.

He raised his hand and gently rubbed Hua's head, but he didn't expect Hua to take a step back in an instant and keep a distance from Mikael vigilantly.

Then, Hua's next sentence made Mikael tense up all over -

"You... you are the Mikael I am more familiar with, right?"

"More familiar? What does that mean?"

Mikael's eyes narrowed unconsciously, and then quickly bent into two slits. He held his chin with his right hand and asked with a smile.

"Why do you want to play dumb?"

Hua raised his head stubbornly.

"Today you didn't talk to Mobius from beginning to end, as if you were deliberately avoiding suspicion. I only saw the same thing in you during that period."

"Doesn't this just prove that I should be the Mikael you are less familiar with?"

"No, the point is that Mobius has no intention of talking to you... Since that Mikael came to the paradise, Mobius rarely communicates with him, but he will never not even get close to him..."

"Maybe she is just in a bad mood today and doesn't like anyone. Isn't this her daily routine?"

No matter what Hua said, as long as she refused to admit it, she would not be exposed. Mikael thought so and did so.

But what a person says is always less than what he thinks in his mind.

What about Hua? Maybe it is the same.

She seemed to be angry with Mikael's three-dimensional rolling defense. She took several deep breaths in a row, and then with red eyes, she pointed at Mikael's hand that wanted to touch her head just now and said:

"But he never touches my head."

"Is that so?"

Mikael slowly closed his eyes.

He also didn't expect that what really exposed him was just a small action that he had been accustomed to in the past and now.

Rubbing Hua's head was not a habit that he had developed recently, but had always been like this.

But why did the [past Mikael] change this habit abruptly?

Did he know his fate from the very beginning and the significance of being brought to the paradise of the past, so he deliberately changed his habits to make a clear distinction at this moment?

It shouldn't be. If it was really for the purpose of distinction, there were too many ways to use. If you really want to change the past habits, you don't have to change the part that only Hua can realize.

So, what is the other self thinking in his heart?

Mikael rubbed his eyebrows with his thumb, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that Hua was still standing in front of him.

"You exposed my identity, why don't you run? I thought you would notify other Yingjie."

"Gululu——"

The sound of swallowing saliva was too clear, and Hua just stiffened his neck and didn't answer.

However, the next moment, she and Mikael reacted at the same time and turned to look at the girl carrying a door on the side.

"Uh... that... Michael, Hua, I'm just passing by to buy goods... You guys continue chatting, I didn't hear anything... Hahahaha——"

"Dang——"

Hua pushed Paduo away as quickly as possible, then drew out the golden sword, and narrowly blocked the tip of the gun that almost merged with the night.

"Hua, how confident are you that I will not hesitate to attack you? Humph."

Michael laughed teasingly, and Hua's sword quickly turned into a fist covering his hand, and raging flames began to surge in the air.

"I'm not confident... it's just... I have confidence in you - for you now, no matter what, you will not hesitate or be confused to move forward, I am quite confident of this."

"That's true... Thank you, Hua..."

Michael smiled gently.

Two minutes, or one hundred and thirteen seconds later, Kevin arrived here first, but all he saw were flames still leaping everywhere, a burnt door on the ground, and Mikael who was standing there in a daze, as if he had seen something incredible.
