The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

The red sand is buried with countless relics and ruins. Farther away, there is a big tree emitting golden light. It is connected to the dark purple sky and is so conspicuous among the red sand.

The first time Mikael landed, he knew that he had definitely come to the right place.

The scene in front of me is not what the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" really looks like, and whether it is even tree-shaped is open to question.

The reason why it looks like this in Mikael's eyes is just to cater to Mikael's senses - he subconsciously feels that this is how it should be here, so that's why.

Because this is an imaginary number space outside of the real number space, size, length, sequence, speed, all human-defined dimensions do not exist here, but because the consciousness of "human beings" has reached here, this originally unknowable space also be abstracted and understood.

The distance between Mikael and the Tree of Imaginary Numbers is a bit far. This is also normal. The result obtained by just relying on the intersection of the two Herrscher sets will naturally have a lot of errors, but it doesn't matter. Just leave. Outside, Ellie In the space around the Third Herrscher, except for consciousness, all movements are suspended by him using the authority of space, and then time loses its meaning of existence - his time is enough.

Moreover, as he gradually approached the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, no creature appeared to stop him in any way - at the moment when "Hengkai Will" did not exist, there was only a silent sea of ​​sand, and a young man looking for answers. , a chaotic consciousness, nothing more.

But he himself was a little confused. He looked back at the footprints behind him that were gradually disappearing into the dust. He wondered... would the footprints he left coincide with that of a man in the distant future?

He just came to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers with a trace of confusion.

The tree is speechless, he is speechless.

He just gently placed his palms on the thick tree trunk, and the light emitted by it was warm and dazzling.

"What exactly is power? Why can I make a Herrscher core with power? Now the cores of the Herrscher are not reusable, so can I refer to the original core and my own core to make a Herrscher core with exactly the same power? The core of power that can be fully used by me?”

He didn't voice his question, just asked it in his head.

But when he asked the question, he got a response almost instantly——

A large amount of knowledge was forced into his mind, and his actions were rough and ruthless, but not stingy in the slightest.

So, the question he didn't ask was answered.

“What exactly is power?”

It is an extension of the laws that maintain the stable and orderly operation of the world. When the rules of the world become more and more collapsed, the powers become more powerful, except for one special kind of power... Of course, all these powers are just certain existences. One-third of the power, the so-called power of the Herrscher, is not even the entirety of a certain law in a world...

However... once the power is possessed, it is irreversible - the channel connecting the Tree of Imaginary Numbers cannot be closed, and the power cannot be taken back.

But it doesn't matter, as I said before, if there is a god, he doesn't care about these powers.

"That's why I can construct a core that can exert a small amount of power when there is already a core of the second Herrscher. The current civilization can also continue to give birth to new Herrschers when it already has the key of the gods of the previous civilization—— Because the power in the world cannot be divided up completely by the existence of the ‘Herrscher’.”

So...the answer to the remaining questions is actually very simple:

"If I want to, then I can."

Because he, the power of the Lawyer of Reason, is exactly that special power.

This power is not only a manifestation of collapse, but also a manifestation of human civilization, that is, it represents both entropy increase and negative entropy. Regardless of whether the world is orderly or collapsed, his power will only increase, not decrease. .

Previously, he just didn't dare to imagine the power of this power, and he couldn't fully awaken himself.

But things are different now.

"Thanks."

Mikael turned around silently.

The tree of imaginary numbers did not respond.

The distant wind of time blew from the depths of the sand sea, causing the leaves to rustle, and the sound of "rustling" echoed in Mikael's ears.

The next moment, he had disappeared into this world, leaving only a pair of deep footprints in front of the Imaginary Tree.

Time is frozen - or so the Third Herrscher thinks.

But no matter what she thought, the fact was that she could still think, but she couldn't do any actions.

Who did it?

have no idea.

It's just that her enemy seems to be inside this image - and she can't make any moves.

But suddenly, as if she blinked, what she saw in front of her was a different scene.

She was able to move, but there was no one in front of her.

The sky was red, and the ground she stepped on, the body broken into two pieces on the sand beside her, and only half of the Fire Chaser base in the distance all turned into lime gray. If you look closely, you can see Honeycomb pattern - just like a world built with regular hexagonal building blocks.

"Long time no see... Hey! You're covered in burns... just like a skinned monkey. You're too ugly, aren't you?"

A voice came from behind, and the Third Herrscher turned around quickly. If she remembered correctly, this voice was...

Sure enough, it was the traitor.

The core of the First Herrscher that was supposed to be inside her was also missing.

"Is it the power of space?"

The Third Herrscher was unsure, but her previous waist and abdomen injuries had not yet fully healed, and she was burned all over by Ellie's attack. Compared with the situation in Changkong City that day, the situation between her and the traitor seemed to have reversed.

But since the traitor was complacent and did not attack her immediately, she would not miss such a good opportunity to escape.

Slip!

Before Mikael could even say the second sentence, he heard a thunder and the Third Herrscher had already fled into the distance.

He curled his lips and gathered his hair, which he was not used to because it had suddenly grown longer - really, someone had not had time to pretend to be a king before he finished speaking before running away?

So he snapped his fingers lightly, and the Third Herrscher instantly returned to the original place.

"Huh?"

The Third Herrscher stared at Mikael in doubt. Why did she return to the original place again?

"No need to make unnecessary efforts. This is an imaginary space that does not exist in the real world - and it has been transformed by me, intercepting a very small area of ​​imaginary space. In this space, all power belongs to me, or in other words... I am the god of this space."

"Just you?"

"Just me... you don't believe it?"

Mikael raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to the third Herrscher in a very second-year manner, with his five fingers clenched. The third Herrscher instantly felt himself being wrapped by the space around him, and was "pushed" towards Mikael uncontrollably. Just as her body and Mikael's fist were about to touch, he loosened his five fingers and waved them gently. An invisible ripple spread in the space, and Mikael's long hair fluttered slightly backwards, and the Herrscher's body instantly arched into a shrimp shape and flew backwards at a high speed.

Since he had already started, Mikael didn't seem to want to talk any more nonsense. He pointed his index finger in the direction where the Herrscher was flying backwards. Countless lavender imaginary crystal blocks appeared in the space there instantly. The imaginary crystals quickly surrounded the Herrscher and piled up, submerging him, until they finally accumulated to form a large sphere with a diameter of more than one thousand meters.

The sphere hung high in the blood-red sky, as if it had filled the vacancy of the moon.

"It's over?"

Mikael himself didn't believe it.

Sure enough, the next moment, a huge lightning column directly tore a huge mouth on the "moon", and its momentum did not decrease, rushing towards Mikael like a raging river.

In response, Mikael didn't even make any moves, and saw a huge crack in the space in front of him, swallowing all the terrifying lightning columns, and gushing out from the space crack behind him. The "river" was cut off here, but it did not stop flowing, just like a water cut off by a knife.

In addition to the lightning pillar, the third Herrscher who also transformed into electromagnetic waves was also swallowed up. She appeared from the space crack behind Mikael, and stabbed the defenseless Mikael with a purple sword.

"You are lying. You don't have complete authority over this world. You only master the space! The power of lightning is still in my hands!"

As a Herrscher, she didn't believe that this traitor had the ability to crush her... How could this be possible!

It was him who died in Changkong City not long ago! Why!

The third Herrscher roared in her heart, and the speed of the blade tip moving slower and slower in her eyes.

"Faster! Faster! A little bit forward!"

A dazzling arc of lightning burst out from the blade, almost whipping Mikael's hair, but that was it.

Just like before in the outside space, the space around the third Herrscher was frozen.

Then, a circle of cracks was torn in the space around her, and four sub-space spears shot out quickly, sealing her limbs and torso.

As if knowing what the Herrscher was thinking, Mikael muttered in a low voice: "Indeed, since I used the authority of space to intercept such a small part of the imaginary space, or even to create it, my authority of space is the authority of space in this world itself. As for the rest of the authority... lightning, fluid, cells, consciousness, etc., I don't have any of them. If I face you in your prime, I might still be in a difficult battle, but you are already seriously injured... Oh, by the way, the authority of lightning in this world will soon be in my hands..."

It's been seven years. He has been a Herrscher of Reason for almost seven years. He is just a pig. He has done nothing for seven years, and the accumulation of abilities is enough for him to crush this new third Herrscher.

It's just that he didn't complete his self-awakening before, and he didn't dare to believe that he could do certain things, so that this huge potential was all accumulated in his subconscious and could not be used.

But now it's different. Before the next Herrscher is born, he can say responsibly: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be the most powerful person in the world."

But the third Herrscher can't accept it.

I can't accept that I died at the hands of a traitor, and I can't accept that I died at the hands of my former defeated subordinates.

She still has a chance!

Not a chance to defeat Mikael, but to die with him!

"Ah! Die! Traitor!"

Her chest burst into a violent purple light. She was imitating Mikael in Changkong City, trying to complete the feat of dying together by detonating the Herrscher core... But...

The spatial authority of this world is in Mikael's hands.

He hooked his fingers, and an invisible hand tore open the chest of the third Herrscher in the air, pulled out the core and handed it to Mikael, and then before the Herrscher left a last word, the Sub-Sky Spear shattered along with the surrounding space, dividing the body of the third Herrscher into five parts.

Before he could finish this, the imaginary number space began to collapse.

Everything composed of regular hexagonal "little building blocks" began to collapse, revealing the bottomless abyss underneath.

"To deal with a seriously injured Herrscher, the duration is less than two minutes... It's enough. After all, my strength will still grow."

"Then, let the quantum sea swallow you up, Herrscher."

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Mikael suddenly felt a little sad...

"It would be great if I could exchange you for the girl in the distant future to come back..."

He quickly shook his head again. This kind of melancholy was meaningless and this idea was not correct.

This girl was also a living human being before she became the Third Herrscher, and she also had people she loved and people who loved her.

Now all this is gone.

In this war with Honkai, humans have never been the victor.

"Okay! Call it a day!"

Mikael stretched himself and was about to leave. Suddenly, a strange feeling of being spied on came to his heart. He immediately followed the source of the feeling and looked to the horizon, but there was nothing there, and he had not had time to think deeply. , an idea has popped into my mind:

"Oh... maybe that chaotic consciousness glanced at me... It's not a big problem..."

…………

From the perspective of Alicia from the outside world, the Third Herrscher, who was bound by space together with her, disappeared out of thin air. Just over a minute later, Mikael suddenly appeared on the spot.

Ally's eyes suddenly became frightened. Of course, Mikael was not affected by the constraints of space, so he twisted the corner of his mouth and stretched out his sinful hands towards Ally.

He rubbed his fluffy hair, poked his cheek, and then said softly:

"For the next period of time, no matter what happens, you stay here and don't leave... don't move around, I have my own arrangements."

"Wait! What do you mean!"

After saying these words, the sense of restraint in the space disappeared. Ellie was about to rush up to him and give him a hug, but with three crisp sounds of "ding dong", three gems, one blue, one gold, and one purple, fell on her. At feet.

Before she could bend down to pick up the gems, another huge shadow was cast at her feet.

She raised her head, and it was the belated arrival of Zhuhuo No. 1.

She instantly understood what Mikael had just said.

Honkai was temporarily resolved, and humanity won another victory, but they didn't--next, there would be an internal fight that neither she nor he wanted to see.
