The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Incomplete Herrscher...what does this mean..." Mikael muttered to himself.

Ellie was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this was what the Third Herrscher said to Mikael.

"Could it be just a casual comment?"

Mikael shook his head in denial.

Since any behavior of the Third Herrscher can be considered based on "instinct", there is no possibility for it to lie or be unintentional.

Moreover, Mikael vaguely remembered that there was a similar description in the plot of the current civilization - the powers of the insects, ducks, and flowers can be easily seized by the Thousand-Men Herrscher, but Mei's power cannot, and the jackal can't. The explanation given is:

"Because you are a fully awakened Herrscher."

Could it be understood that Chong, Duck, and Hua were in the same state as Mikael at that time, and were "incomplete Herrschers"?

But what's the difference? Kiana and Hua can be understood as having another personality that shares the power of the Herrscher, while Bronya is not suitable for the core of the Herrscher of Reason.

Their situations have nothing in common with Mikael's.

"I have been vigilant for so many years. I can confirm that I have no second consciousness or personality. Neither the original Mikael nor the consciousness of the First Herrscher created by Honkai no longer exists. And the Herrscher The core was born in my body from the beginning, so there should be no possibility of it not being suitable.”

Alicia saw that Mikael was deep in thought, and his two slender eyebrows were directly twisted together. She quickly reached out her hand, pressed one eyebrow with two thumbs, and then rubbed them loose and smooth.

"Don't think so much! I heard from the captain that a group of reinforcements will come from the headquarters today. With the current state of the Third Herrscher, we don't have to go on stage!" Alicia comforted softly.

She looked around and saw no one else around. Because of the results of the fifth team's repeated sweeps, even the Death Soldiers and Honkai Beasts were almost gone. However, she still stood up on tiptoes and leaned into Mikael's ear. , reminded softly: "What should I do about your... identity?"

Mikael pursed his lips, suddenly exhaled irritably, kicked a brick away as if out of anger, and finally found a flat place to sit down.

Ellie bit her lip and said nothing.

For some people, this is actually an incredible question.

Will the Herrscher, who possesses more powerful power, actually be controlled by humans? Of course humans have the means to kill the Herrscher, but doesn’t the Herrscher have any deterrent power?

"Actually... you don't have to worry about anything. You don't need to do it because of me..."

Ellie whispered.

Mikael glanced at her unexpectedly. Lovely didn't feel any relaxation similar to "relief" and "gratification" from it, but... puzzled, confused and even a little angry?

Ellie silently looked away.

She understands, she always understands.

The subtext of Mikael's look is - How come you don't understand me so well?

In fact, he himself understands it.

Sometimes he always keeps saying that he fights for humanity because of Alicia.

But he couldn't go against his subconscious mind. He was a very pure and kind person. Even without Alicia, he would still make such a choice.

No, maybe he no longer deserves mention of kindness, but at least he is a person with a moral bottom line.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt guilty all the time for proposing the fusion warrior plan, and he wouldn't have dared to check the casualty records of the Vostok collapse many years ago even if he had the authority...

Of course, this does not mean that he has the potential to become a Holy Mother. He is not cruel, but - it cannot solve the problem.

"I can 'purge' those people sent by the coalition government, and even the coalition government itself is not a bad idea. As for the poisonous chrysalis, they are just a group of small characters. But I can't do that."

Mikael solemnly said: "The reason...not to mention moral concepts, just from a utilitarian point of view, it is actually very simple - it is useless and cannot solve the problem."

"Will mankind accept me after killing all those stupid people? No, that will only deepen the misunderstanding between the rest of mankind and me. The new higher-ups will be afraid of me and reject me. Do I want to They also kill them all, one after another, until no one dares to defy me? No, that is the tyrant's choice. Moreover, this kind of killing is not limited to one corner, but will quickly spread to the whole world and all mankind - —Human beings cannot bear this kind of internal friction.”

"And I don't think I'm qualified to lead humans, because I... don't even know if I'm still human."

"If I really do this, I will never be able to stand side by side with you, Himihu, Mebius, Hen, Aunt Blanca, even Famas, and you humans..."

He spread his hands on his knees and looked down at his palms for a long time.

In fact, the moonlight was dim, and it was obscured by dark clouds, so he could only see darkness.

"But don't worry!" His tone became brisk again, "I'm not a fool, let alone a Virgin. I will not limit myself to dangerous places, nor will I let stupid humans control my destiny. "Don't underestimate me!"

"Besides, confrontation is not the only path between me and humans. You see: Captain Himiko, Dr. Mebius, Sakura...even Famas, don't they trust me and recognize me—— As a human being?”

Alicia didn't say anything. She walked forward gently and held the back of Mikael's head with her palms. Mikael obediently pressed his face against her soft and warm belly, sniffing the lonely A scent that belongs to Alicia.

The evening breeze gently avoided the two people who were almost overlapping each other, but it still inevitably stirred up one or two strands of hair. The waning moon also peeked out from the dark clouds, gently shining the watery moonlight on the two of them.

"What if I had some magic that could stop time at this moment forever!"

Alicia sighed softly.

Mikael hummed twice and said in a muffled voice: "It's too small, the pattern is too small!"

"Oh? Then what would you do if it was your choice?"

"It's pointless to discuss this kind of issue, Alicia, we can't have that kind of power."

"Oh! Don't be such a spoiler! Just talk, just talk! If you just think it's impossible and don't dare to imagine it, how did humans get to this point? You think so, Mikael?"

Mikael turned his head and nuzzled into her arms, and Ellie tapped his head lightly.

"If it were me, I would go back in time to before everything started, to the orphanage in Vostok-51. This world has not collapsed. We grow up, become adults, and look for jobs like normal children. And... get married?"

Mikael's voice became lower and lower, until the last word was barely audible.

"Huh? What did you say last?"

"No...I said...the moonlight is so beautiful tonight!"

As Tuqiong saw, Mikael's hand also unconsciously climbed up to Ally's fleshy lower back.

"Hey! No, no, no, Alicia, I was wrong! It hurts, hurts, hurts!"

Mikael has always felt that his ears bear a weight that should not be borne at this age.

"Beep beep beep!"

"The electromagnetic field in Canghai City has basically returned to normal, and communications can also be used."

Ellie first explained to Mikael, and then she picked up the phone and took a look.

"The captain said that the reinforcements from the headquarters are almost here. They will go directly to the shelter. She will lead the team back right away. Let's go back too."

"Um."

Mikael rubbed his battered ears.
