The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Perhaps you have already felt it, Meiyi. Even the surviving heroes have left their spirits and wills on that day fifty thousand years ago. In the final analysis, the Paradise of the Past is just a beautiful and exquisite tomb. And the stories left behind in the promised land are the epitaph of us and our era.

"What was recorded in the Past World is such a simple story. In this story there is pain and failure, betrayal and separation, but at the same time there is happiness and joy, tenderness and touching. Sadness will not disappear out of thin air, but warm feelings will too Treasure it forever in my heart. What we want to pass on to future generations is not only hatred and mission, but only those who have experienced the splendor of this era can understand the meaning of our fight.

"Just let the textbooks teach you the cold knowledge and techniques. What the heroes should inherit should be the glory of being heroes and the reason for fighting. It is what our last souls have learned during this journey of chasing fire. Trust. And [you] who will come later will witness the footprints of our lives and the imprints of our souls, and find the answers we seek in them, not by being pushed or carried forward, nor by following the path chosen by others. Move forward, but with this idea - what do I want to do, what should I do - to decide my own destiny and my own imprint.

"With my own will, towards the goals I set, in a comfortable way, I will try my best to live my life as the protagonist. You see, I am like this, everyone is like this, and Mikael is actually like this too. Like this. Thousands of trajectories intertwine and linger, giving birth to the miracle of blooming flowers. This is the eternal trace of [beauty]. This is [the true self]. This is the paradise of the past, and our story.

"At this point, our story is over, and next is [your] story.

"Goodbye Yayi, this time... I really want to say goodbye. Thank you Yayi, thank you for coming here, meeting us, talking to us, thank you for being willing to remember our names and listen to our stories. As long as If someone remembers us, this story will never disappear - only humans can think this way, and only humans can turn this belief into reality.

"We will stay in the past, and you will move into the future. So Mei, please keep moving forward. Your path will continue, crossing the final tombs of the dead, and creating a future that we cannot welcome."

"..."

Meiyi bit her lip tightly but said nothing.

Lowering your head slightly, you can see your own reflection in the calm water beneath your feet. Purple lightning surrounded her, and the armor originally built by the World Snake had been replaced by another set of pink and white clothes. But if there is any obvious change in the body, it is undoubtedly the long oval pupils that are exactly the same as Alicia and Mikael. Unfortunately, they are not pink, but the sky blue in Alicia's eyes.

Her body was full of strength, and she even wanted to moan uncontrollably, but in the end she said nothing or did nothing. She just looked at Alicia silently with sad and reluctant eyes. And the figures of the heroes slowly disappearing behind her.

"What's wrong? Are you still tired? Don't you want to move forward just yet? Sigh... If that's the case, you can just stay here and rest."

"No, no need."

Meiyi closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her face was solemn, and there was no sadness on her face anymore.

"I'm going to complete my mission... No, I'm going to do what I want to do, what I should do, Alicia."

"Yeah, I know. Come on, Meiyi - but someday in the future, if you feel confused, tired, and don't want to move forward for the time being... then stop your steps. Take a look. Beside you, look behind you, we will always be here, exactly the same as before.”

"Yes, I know."

Mei Yi suppressed the trembling of her lips, nodded slowly, and then turned around firmly.

One step, two steps...

She didn't know how to leave here, but as long as she moved forward, there would be nothing wrong.

Suddenly, Alicia's voice sounded from behind again.

"Mei! Go and shine with your own flawless and beautiful brilliance. After all...a beautiful girl can do anything!"

Mei Yi turned around with a smile and saw Ai Li waving her fist, as if to cheer her up.

But the next moment, she suddenly put her index and middle fingers together and saluted Mei Yi with a free and easy military salute.

In a daze, the space returned to the eternal paradise.

The light of dusk is not blazing, only the warmth lasts forever.

On the high steps, the heroes stood in twos and threes. What remained unchanged was that each of them looked at her seriously and at the road under her feet.

After another trance, the familiar figure also appeared beside Alicia. His brows were helplessly and feebly wrinkled, as if he was being pulled over by someone reluctantly, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. .

Mebius walked out from behind him with a sigh and stood on the other side opposite Alicia. When he looked at her, he quickly put on a gentle smile.

Time froze everything in front of me into a photo, but under the light of the setting sun, the photo gradually ignited flames and was eventually annihilated into countless flying ashes.

Meiyi will no longer be sad, because the most important things have been imprinted in her mind and will never be lost.

"Move on."

She muttered softly.

Turn around and take another step forward. As the sky and the earth rotate, the scenery in front of you changes, but...

"ha?"

Meiyi was stunned for a moment, then took the knife out of its sheath as quickly as possible and assumed a fighting stance.

Scanning his eyes left and right, the warm sunset was replaced by pale green dim light. It was hard not to think of Mebius's laboratory.

But the surrounding environment is even more weird. Countless black and green "roads" are entangled and connected in the seemingly endless space, as if they are threads woven into a large network by huge hands.

At the intersection of roads, there are dark green fluorescent lights, but when you get closer, you will find that they are platforms of medium and small sizes.

"What exactly is this?"

Mei Yi walked forward step by step, her vigilance in her heart already raised to the highest level.

She slowly moved forward along the road, and finally came to a platform, but the platform was empty, with no objects or people.

"It can't be that... you are still in the paradise of the past, right?"

Mei couldn't help but wonder, could it be because the battle between the heroes and Mikael had affected the foundation of Paradise? So much so that he did not completely leave the paradise, but came to a sealed space. Considering the decoration style here, maybe it was once the territory of Mebius?

But if you think about it carefully, with the current situation of the paradise in the past life, it may not be an easy thing to leave. Alicia's power may only send her as close to the exit as possible. The next journey She still needs to explore and explore on her own.

Mei was ready to move on. Although she didn't know where the real way out was, she might gain something by accident. If she stayed where she was, she would accomplish nothing.

There were many roads connecting the platform. Mei Yi chose a direction based on her sixth sense, and then took steps without hesitation.

Soon she came to the edge of the platform, but just when she was about to take the next step onto the "road", there was a familiar sound behind her.

Click - click -

Turning around expressionlessly, Mei saw hundreds of silver threads hanging from the dark green above her head, and then a large number of monsters that she had seen during the tenth collapse and were now named Imaginary Skeletons.

"It's really... it's endless..."

Meiyi gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on the long knife in her hand.

Although she knew that everything that happened before was the ending that each of them expected, she would no longer look at that story from a sad perspective.

However, there is indeed a feeling of anger in my heart.

Now that I'm fine, I naturally have to find some sandbags to vent my bad mood. Nowadays, there are no sandbags to be found, and there are a lot of imaginary numbers that are more resistant to being beaten than sandbags.

Purple thunder arcs flashed in the sky-blue pupils, and the crisp sound when the sword was drawn still echoed in the vast space. Meiyi just stood there, collecting the lavender long sword suspended at his side. In the scabbard.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

For three consecutive breaths, Mei Yi stood quietly, and the hundreds of imaginary figures did not make any movement, as if time had once again pressed the pause button.

However, three seconds passed, and with the continuous sound of "rumbling" thunder, the corpses of the imaginary figures present were neatly dismembered, and the golden core burst at the same time, even the silk threads hanging from the sky Also cut off.

"This power...can really cut off anything..."

Looking at the broken corpses in front of her, Mei Yi sighed in a cold tone.

As the Herrscher of Thunder, she can do all this, but even if she masters the power of thunder and lightning to the extreme, she may not be as quick and sharp as she was just now.

"This power... always gives people the feeling that they can cut off anything..."

The power of the origin... Alicia did not tell Mei what was special about this power. Logically speaking, it just symbolized the side of human nature, and as the other half of "Endgame", it had the same to the opponent's strength.

So is this feeling of endless cutting off a pure increase in power, or is Alicia's act of cutting the thread of fate sublimated into the power of the origin? Meiyi, who had just taken over this power, couldn't understand it either, but it seemed like she didn't need to.

After confirming that all the skeletons of the Imaginary Number Master had been destroyed, Mei Yi quickly turned around and prepared to walk to the next platform along the previously selected path.

My feet left the platform and stepped onto the winding road. This time there was no sound behind me.

Mei Yi couldn't help but relax her guard a little, but suddenly, as her other foot also left the platform, a feeling of dizziness came over her. She had to cover her forehead, swayed a little, and managed to stand.

Then, her eyes became bloodshot, and her vision filled with a kaleidoscope of colorful colors, and then became clear in an instant.

But when she came back to her senses, she found that she was in a strange state.

Why...are you lying on the ground?

The ground here is quite soft...

While she was still confused, her body started to move on its own, she stretched and then got up.

The soft and elastic touch under her feet made Mei realize that it didn't seem to be the ground, but... a bed?

But from the current line of sight, it seems that I can't see the bedside at all...

Is this the legendary feeling of waking up from a bed of tens of thousands of square meters early in the morning?

"Huh? Why... why am I alone? Where have Xiaohong, Xiaolan and Xiaoqing gone? Huh?"

A man's voice sounded in Mei Yi's mind, and she quickly realized that that voice seemed to be the owner of this body...

"How is this going?"

Mei Yi acted as confused as the man, but it seemed that he just blinked, his vision went dark, and the dim green light returned to Mei Yi.

"Um?"

She still stood where she was, standing on the road that had just left the platform, not even moving a step.

"What on earth was that you just saw?"

No matter what it is, there is no doubt that it is related to the space in front of me and the previous imaginary number user skeleton.

Mei Yi vaguely had some answers in her heart, but she wasn't quite sure.

The skeletons of imaginary numbers will not appear randomly. It would make sense if these monsters from the imaginary number side would appear in the present paradise of the past. After all, not to mention what kind of impact Mikael's power will have, just saying that Alicia has become the Herrscher of Corrosion, it is not impossible that when she uses her power, the imaginary energy will invade the paradise of the past.

But if that were the case, what Mei Yi saw in her eyes before could not be explained.

Therefore, what is the high probability? It has nothing to do with the paradise of the past, but is related to "imaginary numbers".

even……

Mei Yi looked at her hands, and her fair skin was smudged into dark green in the space here. This kind of light was really too difficult for Mei Yi to associate with Mebius.

Moreover, she suddenly remembered that before entering the Paradise of the Past this time, her original goal was to ask Mebius something?

Although there was no chance to ask in the end, but somehow... they wouldn't have just bumped into each other, right?

Regardless, Mei moved on.

She soon came to another platform.

She stood there quietly for about ten minutes, but nothing happened.

There are no imaginary figures, and there are no scenes like those just now.

She was not discouraged, she just chose another path, and then she quickly walked to the connection between the platform and the road, raised one foot, and then slowly crossed the dividing line between the platform and the road.

As expected, the movement of the imaginary number user came from behind again.

What's even more unsurprising is that three seconds later, as if everything was happening again, Meiyi sheathed her sword in front of a piece of debris, turned around and set foot on the "road".

The dizziness came again, but after Meiyi was prepared, her body did not waver, and she didn't even blink.

After all, compared with the star gate teleportation in the Paradise of the Past, this kind of dizziness is still too benevolent.

In an instant, Meiyi once again saw a picture that was not hers.

There are all kinds of delicacies in front of you, from big fish and meat to all kinds of exquisite desserts. Faced with such temptation, no one should be able to bear it.

This is indeed the case. The owner of the body is eager to eat and stuff himself on his hands and knees, but he has a slender figure and strong muscles, and seems to be quite strong. But the next moment, he spat out the contents of his mouth with a "poof" sound.

"Ah? Why did it suddenly become bitter?"

Without his words, Mei Yi could feel the bitter taste that filled her tongue. When her eyes returned to the table, what she saw was a pile of rotten food covered with flies and maggots.

"vomit--"

The man vomited it out immediately, but he bent over halfway but couldn't get down - he got stuck, stuck by his suddenly enlarged and rounded belly.

"Ahhh! Why has my body changed back again? No! I don't want this!"

Amid the screams, the scene faded and Mei returned to the road.

She rubbed her temples vigorously, her face not looking good.

It's not that I was disgusted by the scene just now, it was really...

Although it was only two attempts, she could basically confirm it.

The picture she saw should be a real "dream". Although it is just a guess, it is close to ten.

Dreamland...

Although he didn't get an answer from Mebius, when he thought of what Mikael himself said about the Stigma Project, coupled with the prophecies circulating in the cult...

"Is this the space created by the Stigmata Project?"

Without hesitation, Mei continued to move forward, and everything she had done before began an uninterrupted cycle.

Wave after wave of imaginary numbers swept away the bones, and one dream after another was shattered.

After a while, even Mei Yi herself couldn't remember how many dreams she had cleared, when she suddenly felt the space tremble slightly.

"Um?"

The sound of gears turning enveloped the space. This time, what appeared behind Meiyi was no longer the imaginary messenger delivering food, but a big guy she was very familiar with.

"Imaginary Numbers and Divine Bones·Nihilism?"

It was a monster that she had encountered in Changkong City, but if it was just it, Meiyi wouldn't be afraid.

Although the opponent has a near-terminal ability to briefly reverse time, it is only for her own injuries. She can defeat the opponent when she becomes the Herrscher of Thunder again, not to mention that after training in the Paradise for so long, she has gained The power of the First Herrscher.

But just when she took the knife out of its sheath, another energy reaction dozens of times stronger than nihilism erupted beside her. The golden components were twisted and pieced together around the round core, and finally became a hill high, A cow-like monster.

It stands alongside humanoid nihilism, which looks like a child that hasn’t grown up in comparison.

Its front hooves moved quickly on the ground, as if it would rush towards Meiyi the next moment.

Meiyi held the long knife and prepared for a fight.

But the vibration in the space did not end. The source of this vibration came from behind her.

Meiyi turned her face sideways, keeping the peripheral vision of one eye alert to the two monsters in front of her, and then she saw huge golden vines growing out of the void under the platform behind her, directly cutting off her escape route, and It grew to a height of hundreds of meters in less than two seconds, and then bloomed into flowers as large as dozens of platforms.

"Uh... I seem to have stabbed someone in the trap?"

I am very sure of that.

"Why bother us!"

"Why should we realize that it was a dream!"

"You deserve to die!!!"

"boom--"

Noisy sounds filled Mei Yi's mind, causing her reflexes to drop exponentially. She was almost hit by a casual blow from a small vine under the flower.

But from the front, the cow and nihilism also rushed over, and the flowers above her head were rapidly gathering and compressing energy. Obviously, her previous actions that disturbed her dreams were ushering in the entire Stigma Project, or the entire intoxication. The counterattack of mankind in the dream of the Stigmata Project.

"bring it on!"

The long sword was unsheathed, and there was no movement on Mei Yi's face.

I don't know if there is a chance of winning, but since there is no retreat, there is nothing to say.

War is.

Occasionally, I have to learn from Qianjie.

But what she didn't notice was that above her head, a group of similarly emerald light flashed faintly. After that, the light began to deform and reshape, gradually turning into a shape that Meiyi would definitely find familiar. woman.

Maybe it can’t be simply defined as “people”? After all, who would put a red barcode on their chest?
