The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

The food on the table has been cleared away, and the only thing left is a cake ordered from outside.

The living room was filled with the mouth-watering aroma left by Master Qian's cooking. After they had had enough wine and food, no one thought about the trouble of washing dishes and tidying up for the time being. Instead, they gathered together and chatted about things they were interested in.

But not everyone will participate in the chat.

On the balcony outside the bedroom, Mei found Mebius who was looking at something alone.

She suppressed her footsteps and walked to Mebius, looking in the direction of her sight, but she saw nothing except the blue-grey sky and a few wisps of white clouds.

"Hmph, you guys suddenly came over, it was really scary."

Mebius twitched the corners of his mouth and spoke first.

"What's so scary? Isn't it right to come and see you...?"

"So, we have been under your surveillance these past few years."

"..."

Meiyi was silent for a while, then nodded silently.

"I'm sorry, but... I believe this is necessary. However, the people responsible for monitoring are mainly me and Raven. Unless there is something very important, we will not disturb your lives."

"But you still came today, why?"

Meiyi looked at Mebius' side face and suddenly smiled:

"What, can't we come and see you?"

"It's a little scary, okay? Although we know that this gathering is just because of Eve's birthday, why don't some people take it as a dangerous signal?"

"Mebius...can't you have some faith in us?"

Mei Yi smiled bitterly, but in the next moment, her eyes suddenly froze:

"Or are you feeling guilty?"

"Guilty? What should I feel guilty about?"

Mebius asked disdainfully.

"Do you still want to be tough in front of me?"

Mei Yi scratched her hair in distress.

"What exactly are the samples your laboratory is collecting from all over the world? What did you get from the World Snake's inventory through your previous relationship? Do you need me to tell you one by one?"

"..."

Seeing that Mebius remained silent, Mei had no choice but to list them one by one:

"Pavanti, Shesha, Yaksha, Garuda, Feitian, Vishnu, Mahavatar... In the past few years, you have used all available methods to convert the genes of almost all Honkai beasts above the emperor level. The samples are in the bag, even the samples of [Brahma] that World Snake is preparing to destroy.”

"So what? I don't think you have any intention of studying these things in the short term, especially Brahma. That is my masterpiece, and you actually want to destroy it? How can I tolerate this happening?"

"But this violates the decree issued by the coalition government - that kind of thing is too dangerous. Although it can greatly improve human combat effectiveness, if it is abused, it can also cause unnecessary disasters. We already have Kia. In Na’s case, super-transformation technology is neither necessary nor too dangerous.”

Mei Yi narrowed her eyes and said solemnly.

However, when Mebius turned his head to look at her, he still had a calm smile on his face:

"So you're here to catch me? Here's a suggestion - since you already know that I'm doing something dangerous like this, it's best to bring a knife."

"That's not necessary, Kiana is in the living room. So what if she's not here? I have temporarily lost the power of the Herrscher of Thunder, but other than that, I haven't made any progress at all - eh!"

Meiyi clearly said warning words, but there was a bit of pride in her tone, but unexpectedly, Mebius raised his hand and slapped her hard on the forehead.

"Okay, okay, I know you are very strong now. But no matter what, you can't be careless."

Mebius' expression was calm and serious. Of course, deep in those emerald green snake eyes, there was extremely deep worry buried.

"There are still too many things in this world that we don't know. Even if it is the end, can we definitely guarantee the safety of the earth? No matter when and where, even if we face a weak enemy, we must go all out... This principle Mikael must have told you, but what about now? Mei, victory is certainly worth celebrating, and a peaceful life is inevitably intoxicating, but for you who are destined to protect this planet for a long time, the pride caused by it is not a thing. Good thing."

"I...I'm not proud anymore!"

Feeling Mebius's cold hands caressing her head back and forth, Mei turned her head unnaturally, her words full of embarrassment and nervousness about having her thoughts seen through.

When Mebius saw her like this, he didn't say anything else, but an imperceptible smile flashed across his face, and then he folded his hands in front of his chest and explained:

"Well, if you are coming to me about those experimental samples, there is no need to worry. I have no plans to return to my old business. All experiments are limited to the original Ying Jie. Even so, I have to recruit With their own consent, I am the only one who has undergone super-transformation surgery."

"Why!"

Meiyi shouted uncontrollably.

"If you have your own ambitions and want to realize them, you can join the coalition government... With your scientific research level, isn't it easy? Besides... aren't your lives good now? I have been paying attention to you, everyone obviously Everyone should be satisfied with their current life..."

"Who knows... there are always some fools... who like to worry about things."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Here——"

Mebius turned sideways and faced Mikael, who was smiling and communicating with Kevin in the living room.

"This guy doesn't know what he encountered in the imaginary number space in the end. Originally, according to his plan, it was absolutely impossible for him to survive. But now he has not only survived, but he has also become a little... worried."

"Don't you know what happened at that time?"

"How would I know? Maybe you should ask Alicia. Of course, she can't tell you."

"..."

"In short, ever since this guy regained his memory, he has always been worried about the arrival of a greater threat than [End Page]. In his own words - [End Page's power also has its limits, every star in the sky They all may be enemies, and we can't even get out of the solar system now. When more powerful enemies come across the long universe, or break through the dimensional wall, we can't put all the responsibility on those few. On the girl.”

Meiyi frowned and looked at Mikael who was intoxicated in laughter and laughter, feeling a little sad and a little ashamed.

The heroes who have been fighting for 50,000 years have never relaxed after getting the peace they dreamed of.

But they were blinded by the short-term peace.

Fortunately, the mistakes made now are not big and there is still time to correct them.

"I see."

Mei nodded solemnly, but her eyes quickly softened. She looked at Eve who was dressing up in the living room, surrounded by two Xier, Eden, Destobia, Blanca and Celia. And he suddenly asked the squad leader who was secretly washing dishes in the kitchen, baring his teeth and claws:

"Speaking of which... Mebius, don't you plan to have a child?"

"ha?"

Mebius' head tilted as if twitching.

Meiyi thought she didn't hear clearly, so she repeated it again:

"I said, Mebius, don't you plan to have a child with him? Just like Eve...and the Herrscher of Knowledge."

"Why do you still want a child? Could it be that you were urged to get married by Raiden Ryoma, and then asked me in turn?"

"Uh... of course not."

Meiyi smiled awkwardly, but she quickly caught a trace of incongruity:

"Why do you still have a child...what does [yet] mean?"

The moment the words fell, a bright smile that was completely opposite to the cold temperament bloomed on Mebius' face.

She gently held Mei into her arms and whispered in her ear, pointing out an obvious fact:

"Why do you need a child? My child is you, isn't it?"

Mebius's embrace was cold - needless to say, she knew that the super-mutable factor she had chosen for herself was still Shesha.

But as Meiyi curled up in the arms of this woman who was as tall as herself, she still felt warmth pouring out of her heart.

The memories of more than ten years ago were brought up from the depths of my mind, from the woman with a bad temper at the beginning, who was always cold-faced to others, to the aunt who always secretly cared about her, until the day when the disaster struck, her name in Meiyi , became "Mama Mebius".

【

】

On the other hand, Mebius, who has become a "cold-blooded animal" again, is not warmed by Mei's body temperature, just like in the past.

…………

Not long after, Mei and Mebius walked out of the bedroom hand in hand, but this combination did not attract any strange looks.

Eve was wearing a beautiful dress and chasing Adam in overalls back and forth in the living room. Meiyi was originally worried that Qiana and Bronya, who had not had much contact with Yingjie, would be left out, but she didn't expect that Alicia was pulling her Apponia and the two of them looked like they were reading their palms.

The squad leader and Mikael were washing the dishes side by side in the kitchen, while Qianjie, who was only cooking, was sitting at the dining table that had not yet been cleared and was arm wrestling with the Herrscher of Knowledge - he didn't know what to say, "It is indeed Qianjie." "Law of Tribulation and Consciousness", we should still say "Stop, don't fight anymore".

There are also people who are left out - Kosmo is standing at the door of the toilet studying something, but based on Mei Yi's understanding of him, it is more likely that he doesn't know how to integrate into everyone's chat atmosphere, so he chooses to face the toilet wall tiles alone mosaic pattern in a daze.

However... among the items stolen by the World Snake, there was another thing that Mei Yi didn't mention, which was Qianjie's heart.

If Qianjie also regains his strength, he won’t come to the contemporary Shiyuan and the end of the world every day to discuss...

When thinking of this, Mei Yi couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

"That's almost it. Mei will have experiments tonight. That Mikael... let's go first."

Kevin picked up Adam, but Eve chased after him, jumped up and punched Adam in the butt, so the latter immediately started crying and asked Kevin to put him down, which only made Mei laugh.

However, when May also walked to Kevin, Adam fell silent, and Alicia quickly pulled Eve back.

"Oh, don't worry yet, wait for me and I'll see you off."

Mikael put down the dishes in the pool, rinsed his hands again, wiped the water from his hands on his clothes and walked out.

But Destobia just suggested:

"Should we all leave together? Otherwise, the couple would have to send them off one after another like in previous years, which would be too troublesome. Ah Mo, what do you think?"

"Hmm...ah."

Kosmo, who was standing alone at the door of the toilet in a daze, responded softly twice.

But soon, his voice was buried in more responses.

Meiyi glanced at Mebius, who nodded slightly, so Meiyi also waved to his companion:

"Let's go together too."

She turned to look at Alicia again. She had many things to say to her, but now that she thought about it, it seemed unnecessary.

The rest of Yingjie have all obtained the synchronized memories of their memories, with the exception of Alicia, whose memory has become the twelfth Herrscher.

Compared to the real Ellie in front of her, Mei really still feels that the 12th Herrscher, now renamed "Fairy Ellie", is more approachable.

Just as she was thinking this, Mei saw Ellie suddenly turn her head and smile towards her or Mebius.

Mei could feel Mebius's arm tightening around her, as if he was afraid that Ellie would take Mei away from her, but Ellie quickly looked away and said to Mikael:

"Mikael! I leave it to you to send everyone off! I'll clear the table."

"Well...leave it to me."

After Mikael agreed, Ellie ran to the kitchen first and looked at Hua who had washed all the dishes and put them together. She smiled half helplessly and half gratefully and waved her hand:

"Thank you, Ava...wait, where is Phyllis?"

"She should be playing games with Ling in the study. It's okay. I'll ask them to go together... Don't worry, I will keep an eye on her and she won't miss anything."

"Then leave it to you!"

Ai Li waved her hand, then picked up the rag by the sink and the trash can on the ground, and began to clean up the still messy dining table.

"If I had known better, I would have bought some disposable tablecloths!"

When no one was paying attention, she stuck out her tongue and whispered.

"Bye Ellie!"

"Well, goodbye, my good Eden."

Occasionally, I need to say goodbye to familiar people, but the noise eventually fades away by itself.

"Mom! I'm going to paint!"

"Okay, let's go."

Eve's figure quickly disappeared into the living room, and the "thump thump thump" footsteps gradually faded away - from the bustle of people to silence, it only took a few minutes.

But Alicia didn't care.

Because it is different from some times in the past. Everyone knows that separation does not mean never coming back. In this world that is peaceful and stable at least for now, in this world that everyone has given everything to get. In this world, separation is just for a better reunion next time.

The dining table was quickly cleared. After all, it only looked troublesome. In fact, the most difficult dishes and chopsticks had been cleared away, and the extra chairs were lined up aside.

Ai Li put the rag back to the sink, washed her hands again, and then walked quietly to the study.

Padu and Ling closed the game before leaving, leaving only the document with an empty quotation mark.

Ai Li sat in front of the computer, facing the screen, and sighed softly.

Then, she slowly raised her hand and lightly touched the screen:

"Can you... hear me?"

The voice echoed in the small space of the study. Who was Alicia talking to? It didn't matter, but she got no response.

"Yes, if you could really make a sound, everyone would be so scared that they couldn't sleep, right?"

Her index finger slowly slid across the screen.

"But...you should be able to see it, right? Maybe at this moment, you haven't remembered this story that you saved, but I believe that it won't be long before everyone will remember it again, including what I am saying now.

"Speaking of it, it's really strange. At the beginning, I felt that there were many things I wanted to say when the story finally ended, but at this point, I felt that it was too weak to say anything.

"Sigh - it's really better not to say it. Once I say it, it will sound like a cliché, which will make me look unlovable. It's better to hand those annoying truths to schools and textbooks. No matter what, it won't work. Let Mikael speak.

"The lovely Alicia just wants to remind everyone quietly - this time is really the last."

Her fingertips stopped sliding and she looked at the blank document, as if there were countless words emerging from the apparently empty blank.

That was everything they had experienced along the way. It had already been engraved in their hearts beyond the way of memory and could never be forgotten.

"Okay, that's it. Next, I'll leave it to you, Mikael."

Ellie wiped the tears from her eyes, stood up from her seat, turned around, and saw that Mikael had stood silently at the door of the study.

"Remember to include this paragraph too!"

Ellie did a fist pump, but Mikael just smiled in return.

With silent smiles, the two people passed each other. Mikael finally sat in front of the computer again, and Ally thoughtfully helped him close the door.

"call……"

Exhaling slowly, countless images flashed through his mind, and more sounds occupied everything in his hearing.

Angry shouts, sad howls, explosions that annihilate everything, and the sound of monsters trampling the earth...

Nothing is forgotten, so just be brave enough to record everything.

Record everything in detail, without concealing or beautifying it.

Only in this way can human civilization face an opponent that is impossible to defeat in this battle that lasts for tens of billions and 50,000 years, and finally wins the prize of vitality after successive battles.

Only in this way can we best respect and commemorate the countless pairs of similar or different warriors who, over the past 50,000 years, tens of billions of times, were determined to sacrifice everything for an almost impossible victory. .

But the story still needs a "starting point" after all.

So... let's start there.

Mikael quickly typed a few words in empty quotation marks——

"Here comes the chicken soup!"
