The Fire Chaser of the Collapsing World

The moment the words fell, Mikael suddenly understood—why he kept reading those obscure books under a primitive impulse.

He is not a genius.

Of course, if you look at the definition of the next many years, he is indeed a genius.

He is just going towards the so-called destiny, that's all.

"Snapped".

The shriveled corpse of the advance-level Honkai Beast fell on the snow at the same time as the book.

Mikael lowered his head and said nothing.

Soon, the north wind whistling above the town began to be twisted and bent until it formed a vortex.

The overflowing Honkai energy dyed the gust of wind lavender.

And the center of the vortex was Mikael's thin body.

He started running wildly, but not in the direction of the orphanage.

Something seemed to be coming out of his head.

He wanted to take advantage of his last moment of sobriety to stay away from this small town, so that not too many people would become dead because of the rapidly rising Honkai.

"So... so I am the First Herrscher..."

His eyelids were heavy, and he could only see a ray of light in front of him.

In a trance, the brilliance seemed to turn pink.

Although it is well known that the herrschers of the pre-civilization cannot retain human consciousness.

Although he knew that the herrschers of the pre-civilization could not escape the end of being killed.

But he still had that unrealistic hope:

"But if it's a Herrscher... Maybe he has the qualifications to be a witness..."

Chapter 2 No longer a witness

"Far away...far away..."

Even if he didn't look back, Mikael could feel that the light and warmth that belonged to civilization were gradually moving away from him.

Finally, he stopped on a hill high enough to overlook the brilliant lights of Vostok.

The Honkai energy floating around in the air merged into his body one by one, condensed on his chest, and gradually solidified, but strangely emitted a blue light.

Behind him, the excess Houkai energy scattered into the earth and merged into various creatures, creating countless Houkai beasts.

He turned his head, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

He looked at the sparse lights behind him, then at the bright neon lights in front of him, and waved his hand. In the dark night, countless Honkai beasts ran wildly, making a dull, thunderous sound.

"Beep beep beep beep beep beep!"

"Hello! This is the first team, and I'm Captain Hen."

"Han! Where are you now?"

"Reporting to the headquarters, we have left Vostok-51 and are now at the abandoned base on the outskirts of Vostok."

There was a noisy voice from the other end of the walkie-talkie, and after a while, a female voice that gave people goosebumps just listening to it came: "Hen, the Hoonkai energy reaction near you is rising sharply, and the magnitude has exceeded 1000HW , and it is still rising... The anomalies we caught before are not groundless."

"This... this..." Even though he felt that he had experienced many battles, Hen almost didn't hold the walkie-talkie in his hand when he heard the news.

As a special mission team directly under the coalition government, their mission has always been to fight the Honkai, a disaster that follows the development of civilization, and disguise the damage it causes as accidents.

But so far... no, before this time, the strongest Houkai reaction he had encountered was just over 100HW, and the disaster caused by that Houkai fully mobilized two teams like them , plus a mech squad, a flying squadron was subdued.

So what will be born in the 1000HW Houkai energy reaction?

"Captain Hen, Captain Hen!" The original male voice came again from the walkie-talkie.

"It has been detected that a large number of Houkai beasts are approaching Vostok. In addition, the Houkai can accumulate on the mountain in the northwest, and the reaction intensity... has reached 2000, [-]HW... It is already approaching [-]HW!"

Hen took a deep breath, counted the few ammunition, and began to put on the exoskeleton armor.

Because they were using public channels, all members of the team understood the current situation and spontaneously began to prepare for the battle.

"Headquarters, what is our mission?"

"As Vostok's outermost line of defense, stop the Honkai Beast from advancing. The urban area of ​​Vostok has been under martial law in the name of military exercises. You only need to hold on for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, people from the Shenzhou region and the Far East region The flying squadron will arrive at the battlefield, and within half an hour, the mech troops will arrive."

"Huh..." Hen exhaled lightly, and then cut off the connection with the headquarters.

"Have you heard it all! Get moving! Search for ammunition supplies in the base before the Houkai Beast arrives!"

At this time, Mikael... No, he is now the First Herrscher, and his thin figure is still standing on the top of the mountain.

Tens of seconds later, there was a loud gunshot at the edge of the distant lights, and the bullets pulled out straight tracks in the darkness. Countless Houkai beasts fell, and countless Houkai beasts followed.

But until there was no more Houkai Beast around, the First Herrscher still didn't move.

He seemed to be waiting for something.

As the apostle of the gods descending to the world, he should not and cannot have human emotions.

So he doesn't understand this waiting, and he doesn't understand this waiting.

It's like he didn't understand why this body didn't put down the cake in his hand until it was completely occupied by him, until the soul of this body was directly wiped out by a higher existence.

"Sasha", light footsteps sounded behind him.

"Mi... Mikael?" The First Herrscher didn't know the meaning of the name Mikael.

But he has never felt a familiar breath from someone.

He turned around, and it turned out that it was a beautiful girl with pink hair who had been following him quietly.

"What's wrong with you?"

The girl's voice was blown away by the wind.

She seemed a little excited and a little wary.

"How did your hair grow so much? Oh, your eyes are red too."

"Why, could it be that you are too sad to hear that I am leaving?"

"Really, can we leave together?"

The First Herrscher remained silent.

He is not dumb, but the girl opposite, the girl opposite him who is the apostle of the gods...

Why... does she seem to... have human-like emotions?

The girl chattered words that the First Herrscher could not understand, while slowly approaching him.

The First Herrscher who thought he had encountered the same kind did not feel threatened.

"Hey! Is this cake... for me?"

The girl happily took the cake box in his hand.

"You really understand girls' minds! A beautiful girl, of course, should be accompanied by a sweet cake... slightly!"

The moment the word "heh" fell, a dagger slipped out of the girl's sleeve and stabbed straight at the heart of the First Herrscher.

"When", the dagger suddenly encountered an obstacle, bent to nearly ninety degrees, and broke with a "bang".

Between the broken dagger and the First Herrscher's chest, a steel plate appeared at some point.

This is the power of the Lawer of Reason.

Even though he is the envoy of Honkai that destroys civilization, he has to rely on the power of civilization to fight.

Alicia failed with a single blow, but she didn't retreat, but unexpectedly made a left uppercut, which slammed into the face of the First Herrscher.

"You! Give me back Mikael!"

"Give me back Mikael!"

"Mikael!"

"Give it back!"

"I!"

Alicia's shout was transmitted into First Herrscher's mind, and it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to ripple in circles in an instant.

"Alicia!"

Mikael suddenly opened his eyes.

What caught the eye was chaos, neither light nor darkness.

"Alicia!"

The once shattered memory began to shine brightly, and the familiar voice sounded in my ears:

"Visitor, your path continues..."

"To create what we failed to meet..."

"The future!"

Then there was light, then there was darkness, and then time began to flow, so Mikael saw his conscious world.

His original position has been replaced by an indescribable fog.

And at the foot of the mists, was the corpse of a child who was exactly the same as him...no, Mikael.

He understood instantly.

His occupation did not cause the consciousness of the child named Mikael to dissipate, but to fall into a deep sleep.

But Honkai erased the consciousness of the child Mikael while shaping the Herrscher, but he didn't expect that there was a third consciousness in this body.

"In that case..."

Mikael walked towards the fog step by step.

"Is this the consciousness of the Herrscher?"

"Since... since I can appear in front of her... then how can I be willing to be a witness again!"

Outside of consciousness, Alicia was entangled with the figure of the First Herrscher.

The First Herrscher can freely manipulate the Houkai energy, and the same is true for Alicia.

Therefore, even though it seems to be a child's fight, every intersection between fists and feet is enough to paralyze an adult in an instant.

The First Herrscher shouldn't have fought this way.

His competence should be analysis-construction.

But after all, he is a nascent consciousness, and he doesn't know how to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, so he was soon dragged into a fist fight.

"Eh... eh?"

The First Herrscher's movements stopped suddenly, and the next moment, before Alicia's fist arrived, he suddenly slapped himself.

Then, the first Herrscher's left hand and right hand fought, followed by his left foot and right foot.

Until the roar of fighter planes came from the sky, and countless bombs fell on the Houkai herd. While setting off a bloody storm, it also made the night look like day.

The First Herrscher lay dead, motionless.

No matter how strong he is, he is only a nascent consciousness, so how can he defeat "Mikael"?

"M... Mikael? Is that you? Are you back?"

This was the first sentence he heard when his consciousness returned to his body.

Also, it was what supported him in the boundless years since then.

The fighter plane dropped bombs towards the hilltop, and the tail of the bomb body rubbed against the air, making a piercing whistling sound.

"Alicia, I'm back."

In the exploding fireworks, Mikael announced his return to Ellie.

The explosive fireworks did not reach the eyes of the two children.
