The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Dr. Mebius, do you have anything else to say in defense of the fact that you have helped the Herrscher hide his identity many times?"

In the interrogation room, which was so spacious and bright that it almost didn't look like an interrogation room, Lezren crossed his hands and put his chin on his hands, looking playfully at the green-haired "girl" directly opposite him.

"What does it mean to help the Herrscher conceal his identity? I am only doing this to study the Herrscher. Isn't it the same as your purpose?"

Mebius was not restrained like a prisoner. She even had the time to cross her legs, bite her nails, and defend herself in an unhurried tone.

"But you did not upload the research data on the Herrscher, and you never reported Mikael's identity to the Fire Chaser Moth."

"So what? Which of the rules and regulations of Fire Chasing Moth says that you must report your encounters with the Herrscher, or that you must upload research materials on the Herrscher?"

Lezren was startled, this... seems to really not exist. After all, when the Fire Chaser regulations were established, humans were not even sure of the existence of creatures like Herrscher...

He was surprised to find that from a legal perspective, Mebius, not even Himiko, Alicia, and Sakura had not violated any laws. At most, he could condemn them from a moral perspective, but he could not give corresponding punishment. …

…

So it’s time to revise the rules of Fire Chaser...

"Then Dr. Mebius, can you explain...why you have become so much younger?"

"Oh... this... this is what Mikael did, and it's none of my business. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

"..."

Lezren waved his hand boredly, and after Mebius left, he immediately exhaled a breath and half-leaned on the chair.

Lao Ba, the secretary on the side, couldn't help but ask: "Chief of Staff, do you want to continue to summon the remaining people?"

Lezren's green eyes glanced casually, "Is it necessary? Himiko refused to be summoned on the pretext of recovering from his injuries, Alicia refused to be summoned on the excuse of taking care of Himiko, and Sakura couldn't even find anyone... What a waste of a summons! "

This aristocratic man who always prided himself on being well-educated finally couldn't help but use foul language at the end.

"Chief of Staff, in fact, it is not necessary to use legitimate means to punish a person! For example, transferring Sakura and Alicia from the fifth team, such as cutting off Dr. Mebius's financial supply..."

Before Lao Ba finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lezlen:

"You think this is a good idea?"

"Well……"

Lezlen actually didn’t want to say anything more to this unscrupulous clerk, because normally, such complaints would be meaningless. Lezlen did not lack this sense of superiority, and would often be criticized by these confidants’ down-to-earth remarks. troubled.

But he didn't know why. Ever since the third collapse was announced, something had been pressing on his chest. He had a lot of words that he was holding back and couldn't express, but he didn't know who to say them to...

It was only then that he began to miss Famas, his former nominal boss. If both parties were willing to put aside their many prejudices and nastiness, they would surely be able to confide those words to him...

There's just no chance again.

"First of all, the fifth team, especially the three women, who killed the Third Herrscher, are now the main contributors to the entire Fire Chaser. We were airborne from the coalition government. In the Fire Chaser, We lack a foundation, and now that Famas is dead and the power relationship has not been completely clarified, we are rushing to attack the fifth team. What will the other members of the Fire Chasing Moth think of us? "

"That's true..." Lao Ba nodded.

"Besides..." Lezlen silently swallowed back a large portion of his words. Those words might make him appear nobler, but even he himself was not sure whether they were true.

However, Lao Ba asked again: "What about the core of Herrscher? Will it still be occupied by Mebius?"

Speaking of this, Lezren's eyes lit up, and he instantly stood up from the backrest, and his elegant and arrogant temperament returned to him.

"The Herrscher's core... such intoxicating power cannot be left in the hands of others... By the way, where is that old loser Vasak?"

"He... I heard that he has been running to accompany Famas every day for the past two days."

"Hahaha...hahahaha!" Lezlen suddenly threw his head back and laughed. He held his stomach. The laughter gradually subsided until tears were already hanging from the corners of his eyes.

"People... often don't understand the weight of something in their hearts until they lose it."

"Speaking of which, Famas's funeral is tomorrow, right?"

When Vasak returned to the office at the bottom of the base, he found that there was already another figure in the room.

The figure stood in front of the world map hanging on the wall of the office, with his back to the door. This made Vasak unclear about his identity for a while.

But his choice was wise - he did not try to escape or call for reinforcements from his subordinates, but walked in openly and silently locked the door.

There is no need to struggle. Since the other party can find this place without alerting anyone, then no matter what he does, he cannot escape the other party's grasp. Instead of doing this, it is better to be honest.

After all, if the other party really came with pure murderous intent, he would probably be gone the moment he opened the door.

When Vasak sat back down and raised his head, that figure had already appeared in front of him.

He was holding a pen on Vasak's desk and looking at it carefully. His behavior was just like his face, like a curious teenager.

But Vasak only felt that his heart was being squeezed, and his hair stood on end for a moment, and he almost shouted!

He spent a lot of effort to gradually control his breathing, and then asked in a tone as low and steady as possible:

"Mikael?"

When the young man heard Vasak calling him, he threw the pen on the table and asked sarcastically:

"You don't want to call me Lawyer now?"

"What do you want to do... No, how are you still alive?"

Vassago admitted that he must have looked so ecstatic at this moment.

"No, no, no, Vasak, I should ask you this - what do you want to do?"

Vasak pursed his lips tightly, just like those prisoners he had seen in the interrogation room who gritted their teeth and refused to show mercy.

Before this, he had never imagined that he would be face to face with a Herrscher and have a normal communication with humans.

But the absurd thing happened like this...

But this is also an opportunity!

He leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his thighs, trying to make his movements as unobtrusive as possible.

Mikael couldn't help but chuckled: Sorry, he just couldn't help it. The action of the old guy with gray hair in front of him reminded him of the time he secretly took something from the table in class. Novels or snacks - I think that my movements are small and seamless, and I sit in the last row, so the teacher will definitely not notice...

Haha, there will be trouble if you don't notice, "Uncle Vasak, can you stop glancing at me with your eyes, as if you are afraid that I don't know that you are going to do something bad!"

Vasak's eyes widened suddenly. His hand had clearly touched the location where the pistol was stored, but there was nothing there.

"Don't be so excited!"

Mikael put the pistol on the table, but Vasak didn't appreciate it. He picked up the pistol and pointed it at Mikael's head and pulled the trigger.

But no gunfire rang out.

Mikael lined up nine bullets on the table without saying a word.

Vasak quickly pressed the bullet into the magazine with a trembling hand, and pulled the trigger on Mikael's head again.

But still no gunfire rang out.

Mikael put his right hand into a fist on the table. As his fingers gradually loosened, gunpowder flowed out from between his fingers.

Vasak slumped down on the back of the chair in despair and closed his eyes silently.

Unexpectedly, Mikael just waved his hand and said impatiently:

"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore."

"A joke! You call this a joke!" Vasak wanted to roar, but the muscles in his throat were tense due to fear, and he could only make a weird sound of "gurgling" for a while.

"Okay Vasak, let's talk about business." Mikael's face became serious, "You are a pure narrow-minded humanist, so I don't expect to gain your trust... I just hope that you can Think about this question: If I really want to do harm to mankind, why should I fight with my 'fellows', and why should I help mankind again and again?"

"You should have seen the power of the Second Herrscher and the Third Herrscher, so you should also understand that if I really have ill intentions towards humans, I can even be in this so-called Fire Chaser Moth headquarters base. Destroyed instantly, right?”

In response to Mikael's question, Vasak just snorted lightly.

"Maybe? Maybe you Herrschers are already hostile to each other, and you just want to use the power of us humans to hunt down your 'compatriots' in order to gain their authority."

"?" Mikael put a question mark in his mind. He had never thought of this explanation, and it seemed that it really sounded like that...

"Are you serious? If I really think so, can't I cleanse the Fire Chaser and even the top leaders of the coalition government and make the remaining people my puppets? Do I still need to be like this?"

Vassago sneered, "That's because you know it's useless. No one is a fool. How many people can you control alone and for how long? Does the puppet you set up really have the authority to lead mankind? Or does it? You plan to end it yourself... Even if you can hide your identity, you can't guarantee that you have that kind of prestige; even if you can control the fire chasing moth, you can't control all mankind... So it's not that you don't want to do this, but you I also expected it - there is no point in doing so, unless you can really suppress all humans with your own power. In that case, maybe we will still respect you as a god - but although the power of a single Herrscher is powerful, it is still It’s more than that.”

The deception failed, and Mikael shook his head helplessly. He had said similar words to Ellie before. Sure enough, everyone has brains, and it would not be easy to kill all the opponents with the power of a Herrscher. The illusion of leadership for all mankind.

And Vasak's reaction was actually not beyond his expectation - don't try to argue about something with anyone who already has a prejudice. All his views and opinions are based on existing prejudices, and you can't compete with him.

So Mikael doesn't feel it's a pity... Besides, if we can't establish a united front, we can just make some small deals, right?

"Deal?" Vasak tilted his head, "Why do you think I would make a deal with a Herrscher?"

"Oh, then just think of me as coercion by force."

"..."

"Vashak, I actually think it's quite strange. At this point, it's impossible for you to believe that pure humans can defeat Honkai, right?"

"..."

Vassago closed his eyes. From the moment he witnessed the destructive power of the Third Herrscher, the belief he had maintained for twenty years collapsed and disappeared.

Without faith, how can he continue this terrible life...

Power?

Maybe, he really likes power, otherwise he wouldn't desire the position of Famas. But when the news of Famas's death reached his mind... he felt that power was nothing more than that, and he still needed to do something - to show that he once existed as a human being.

Mikael carefully studied Vasak's changing expressions, and he had a clue in his mind: This is a person who is still in a confused stage - he is easy to fool.

"Then let me ask another question, Vassago, no matter what my purpose is, I am indeed fighting against Honkai, right?"

Vasak hesitated for a while, then nodded quickly. He really couldn't deny this.

"That means we are not enemies who must kill each other in the short term, right? The reason why most of you hate me is just out of rejection and fear of others." Before Vasak could refute, , he continued to mind himself and said:

"Then let me go, okay? Since you can't tolerate a Herrscher, then I will fight against Honkai in my own way. Of course, this is also a good thing for you. After all, studying the core of the Herrscher is Lezren's responsibility. If the core of the First Herrscher suddenly disappeared, and then Alicia, the hero who ended the Third Collapse, also disappeared, leaving behind a letter accusing Lezren, this would be a big boost to his reputation. blow."

"Jump out of the Fire Chasing Moth...I won't comment, but why do you think he and I are two factions? We have cooperated very well before."

"Come on, Vassago, in this world there is only shared adversity, not wealth and wealth? According to your secret deal, you should be the leader of the Fire Chasing Moth now, right? But now Lezren has become the president. Chief of Staff, but there is still no one left except the leader...tsk tsk tsk... Oh, no, there is not only one Lichtenstein family behind you, right?"

A # appeared on Vasak's forehead, but he suppressed his anger and tried: "What if I don't agree, or if I tell Lezlen all this after I agree? Aren't you afraid of this?"

Mikael didn't speak, he just snapped his fingers, and a 270mm rail gun filled the entire office in an instant, with the muzzle pointed directly at Vasak - this was his answer: gunshot.

"Okay, okay..." Vasakping spread his hands, indicating that he was convinced, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I want to ask you to be alone."

"If you're talking about Sakura, she would no longer be affiliated with Poison Chrysalis."

"No, I can take Sakura by myself. What I want is——Ling."

"..."

Vassago was speechless. It seemed like he only had one person, but in fact there were two... But Sakura had already been abandoned, so it didn't matter.

"What, do you think you're at a disadvantage? How about I give you someone as a gift?"

"who?"

"Oh, he is a young man who is very good at handing things to people."

"Can I not want it..."

"Then how about you do me another favor?"

Vassago looked at Mikael with his eyes widened, as if he had discovered a new world:

No... How can this Herrist be more shameless than a human being?

"Okay, but I have conditions."

"Um?"

"You are the Herrscher. You should have a better understanding of Honkai than us humans. I need this."

Mikael was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly tilted his head and asked strangely: "Are you sure you are Vasak and not Famas pretending to be you?"

Vasak was stunned...

yes……

*!

How come I started to look like that annoying guy...
